@anneakhil5331 yeah safe for engine though the materials seem to have eroded fast. Unsure if the quality of the metal is a factor. Had to get a replacement end can cause it developed a big hole. Sounds good and in good weather probably fine, but for all weather I would get something else next time
I was getting into this but the noise you make as you start a sentence is the worst it's like when a black person tuts through their teeth at you 🤣🤣 I used to work for a guy and he did it every other word and maan bugs the poop outta me just seems rude to me for some reason
Man, Ive watched this review too many times. Your hysterical laughter of joy convinced me to purchase the CB1000R + with full Akro system, and man I just cant get enough of it. Good review, event though its been a while since it was uploaded
Just bought one that has been Stage 2 and i need better ear defenders and it sets off car alarms love it. Had a tool roll added to the front. Crash bars and a new seat w Sissy bar. Also HD do wonderful upgrade pegs mine are delightful
hey man, my tip for filtering is turn your big light on. people definately notice you in the mirror, even when not paying attention. also put the alarm lights on. works much better than a loud exhaust
I grew up thrashing these through Kings Wood in Leeds Kent! Absolutely love em, in fact love them so much, a 19 plate is arriving at my house tomorrow 28th April, in time for my birthday on the 29th! Cannot wait for the fun to begin!
@@Theorangeman. Brilliant cheers mate! I actually enjoy riding to work and back through the country lanes of Kent, as well as a bit of weekend fun! I love to tinker in the garage with all my bikes and these are so easy to maintain! Love em!
Have heard complaints about Sportster's jarring suspension. They should bring this model back with a 1275cc air cooled Evo and with a 6 speed and Ohlins front and rear and dual disc Brembos. I'd prefer that to the new water cooled version any day.
Mate absolutely loved your review! I literally just ordered a brand new 650XT 2024 model with the lower seat, adjustable wider pegs, rear case and the mirror extension set. When they call me from the dealership i might also opt in for the crash bars. Watching your video has got me really excited to get mine. Can't wait. Thanks for sharing my friend.
to deactivate the cruise control you need to overly decelerate the trottle, meaning, you can kinda go over zero. or just tap the brakes. for hillhold to activate you need to give the front brake a firm squeeze, to deactivate it, just accelerate, or again, give the front brake a firm squeeze. RTFM they say!
Cheers. I have the same setup but didn't notice the taps on The inside off the bug net Now I can have a Internal ridge line I can't believe I didn't see it 🙏🙏🙏 I have 3 metres of 2 mm dyneema cord so Im going to do it now made my day thanks 👍
I will never learn to love a stock exhaust. It is heavy, quiet and dulls down the V twin rumble. Aftermarket exhausts take away exhaust gas restriction and allow the engine to breath better/ produce more hp
I have the same model i always want a Harley so when i sold my Kawaski GTR 1400 i was ready to buy my dream bike but an add on a website show the new Rocket model so went to see it and fell in love with that beast so big and i love big motorcycle somehow it made the Harley Road King real small , so i bought it and never look back bye bye Harley and Hello Triumph , i added a quickshifter and boy did it go. Ride safe mate.
Fantastic review of a ridiculous bike... which i must have!! Can't even imagine what that amount of torque must feel like. 😮 I think the word you were looking for was "ilk"... family or type. To "irk" is to annoy... "irksome". Now subscribed to your most excellent channel. 👍
Cheers buddy! Getting the channel back up and running is one of the focuses this year so more to come. Aim is to get it to one video a week. Routine seems to be the big thing to make it happen. How are you guys doing?
Depends. I've got some reviews of the street triple 765 on my channel and it's an awesome bike. Personally I think the street is well suited to shorter rides. Eg this ride I did in the video would be great on the street. However it was a long trip to get down to Spain from UK where I'm based so wanted something with some more power and things like cruise control. I went with the 2018 version of the speed as I love the look of the twin exhaust compared to the new speed 1200. There's good bargains second hand also, just need to be comfortable assessing a bike. I'd say ride them both and see which one fits. Both outstanding bikes.
Thanks for taking us with you on that ride, which was a great antidote to the grey wet weather we’re having in the South East of England today. Good to have you back and I like the idea of you doing some vlogging.
A little tip for you, if you want to get used to the bike, while riding fast on demanding (fun) roads stick it in rain mode. Restricts the power to a 100 bhp. It’s a nice way to get up to speed and it’s plenty, but more control.
Hi mate. Great vid, reminds me of why, I have kept my speedy for 6 years. I can highly recommend pilot road 6,s. They gave me far more confidence than the Pirelli Diablo 3’s. They also last considerably longer. Regarding the QS, triumph do an upgrade, if you tell the you have a problem, or did.
I was in the market for a 48 and I ended up test driving the 48 and iron 883 and I fell in love with the iron 883. I didn't notice much difference in power cuz the iron had stage 1 setup and tune and 48 was stock but the ergos and height of Iron just felt so perfect for me and it was cheaper with lower miles so it was a no brainer for me. I really tricked mine out and will be updating videos cuz I made so.e more changes and bike is just about perfect now. I will never let it go. It's more than enough power and is faster than I expected by a mile. One day I will get the street bob 114 in Stonewash White but for now I'm very happy with the Iron. I do love the 48 too and it is a fantastic bike for anyone and fun to trick out.
I have had a 2013 model for 9 years now. In 2018 I rode it 2 up around the world. 43,000 miles and no reliability issues. Did Portugal and Scotland this year.
There is just something about a long stroke, low rpm motor that produces its grunt right off of idle. Though it runs out soon enough, there is another gear. They don't have to be loud to sound good, not to my ears. I also appreciate the whirring of gears and the bit of clammer of the hardware as it goes on to meet its appointed rounds. I can appreciate the old school automotive technology. The Sportster is a bit of an odd bike. I don't know why it feels so small, but it does. It just feels physically small, smaller than it really is. Is it just the narrowness of it or is it the small gas tank that is so deceiving? I don't know, but it's like riding a bicycle down the highway. It can be a bit weird, but that's the way it is.
