I'm fairly new to riding and thought it would be fun to take you on my journey.
I'll be uploading videos from my adventures big or small, whether it be riding round town just having a chat or going exploring the country side, I'll be making sure I bring you along for the ride.
Be sure to like, subscribe and most importantly enjoy the ride out.
I love this video so so much. You and i have the exact same considerations its like u were reading my mind the whole time. Even better that i currently own a tracer 9gt+ and am considering this!! You points were flawless
One of the greatest bikes ever made, I’ve had Ninjas, KTM’s Hondas, Huskies, this bike is a masterpiece, I don’t no how they done it, so basic, but it’s an all time great.
Dougie just sold me one of these , just waiting for it to be delivered , can't wait to get out on it . oh and why didn't you turn on the heated grips ?
I have a 2022 765RS and its a phenomenal bike. Supersport performance on a platform i can ride all day. You mentioned no vibration through the mirror, but i find up north of 8k RPM they blur very suddenly and become useless. I can fix it by getting back off the throttoe and they settle back down
Tenere is good but to make it great. Ecu remap courtesy of Geof at Hilltop mc Hinkley. Massive huge difference. Decat and aftermarket endcan, airbox mod ie lazer printed cheap bigger intake with snorkel removed and high flow air filter on airbox. Result fire breathing beastie. So much that you realise too low geared. Can easily pull away from standing start in second or third, so added one tooth on the front sprocket. Still feels too low so ditched two teeth on rear. Now cruises at 70 mph at 4.5 k revs and no loss in power. More mpg and power and goes like it should have from factory. So EU emissions bollocks removed and it uses less fuel has more go and surely doing 70 at 4.5k instead of 7k is putting out less emissions.
I test rode my mates triple RS and bought the Hornet. I found the RS incredibly uncomfortable, my wrists were killing me after only a couple of minutes. And the suspension was crashing horribly over the rougher roads. The Hornet on the other hand was lovely over the bumps and zero wrist pain. I had my hornet fully loaded sports pack, style pack and the SC exhaust. Put a tail tidy and bar end mirrors on it and now for me it’s perfect. I agree the RS has a great engine and looks nice but I couldn’t live with it being such a horrible riding position and hard suspension.
Exactly the same for me I even took the test bike back early because I was that uncomfortable!! The hornet was 0retty much perfect though ride safe pal 👌
@@ConstantThrottle1Honda is a great bike/company. Does everything well, nothing exceptionally well, just around well. With maybe the exception of ASB ) Australian superbike) Honda just doesn’t cut it anymore. Too focused on diversity and ESG scores. I’m glad Kawasaki has no intentions to discontinue liter bikes, and they’re not too keen on drinking the (chinese) kool-aid.
Love your enthusiasm for this bike. Would like your thoughts. Currently have a 2016 Bonnie T120 here in Pennsylvania. I like the Bonnie's low end torque for riding up/down and around the ridge lines that cover our state but am looking to replace with a sports tourer for the longer hauls. Would this bike also deliver the low end grunt needed on such hills and ridge climbs (paved/macadam roads of course)? Thanks for any insights.
Got it last month as my first bike. Done 400km so far. It's absolutely amazing. Not that I ever had another bike to compare it with but I don't have any complains, so I am more than happy with my purchase.
Manchester that was haha full of them plus they were doing spot check for some reason, I haven't seen many spot checks with a full street of police 🤣🤷♂️
I'd be surprised if you didn't as the old cb500x is in America so the new NX should be 🤷♂️ fingers crossed you'll get the hornet aswel as it's a brilliant little bike 😃
@@ConstantThrottle1 Sadly in this particular case I'm also from the US. I have a GSX 8S that I understand may be a better bike in a lot of ways but still feel a little slighted the Hornet is unavailable here as I think it is a better fit for me. Honda missed a sale with me but it is what it is and I'm very happy with my Suzuki.
Yeah and if they sold them in Australia they’d charge us an extra 6-8k AUD than everywhere else. Just because they can and dumb cashed up Aussies would pay it.
Yes suppose it does but nothing bad I just unzip it a little bit when I notice it but usually it's OK. I was thinking honister before this 1 but it's thicker and wouldn't be as cool in summer which is why I went for this one 👍
Thought I'd give you guys a wave 👋 As it's Wirral #eggrun 2024 today .you guys popped up in my head.... Heading out to 👋off my lad and grandsons ride off.
How is the space around the biceps and upper arms for the XL size? I have relatively thick biceps and upper arms. In a review of the MK2 model, an owner commented that there was not much give in the arms and he couldn't recommend them for someone who regularly does weight training, which dissuaded me from buying at that time. Is the fabric under the arm made of stretch material? Do you think bigger-than-average arms can fit?
I wear mine in 30 degrees - I'd rather sweat than bleed! I have several jackets and this is my favorite. I agree with the sizing. I am always a 2XL butt had to go up to 3XL, which was a real surprise.
I haven’t ridden a bike in 33 years. I currently own a Triumph Tiger Sport 660, and it’s okay for an entry level bike. The third bike I rode when I started riding again was a used GSF850. It is a lovely bike indeed, and very comfortable to ride. I have a lot of spine and neck problems, and the 850 doesn’t cause me any discomfort in any way. After my neck surgery has healed, I’m going to look into purchasing a GS F850.
