Thanks' for putting together your review, it's appreciated. 👍 I've owned a pair of Saint armored jeans for about 3 years now. They are Incredibly comfortable and they were the only pants I took with me on 3,500KM road trip last year. They are fading very nicely in the right places and are still showing absolutely no signs of any wear or busted stitching. I'm now seriously looking at purchasing the matching jacket. The jacket is On Sale here in Australia for $500.00 Australian with all the Armour included! (As of 3rd October 2024) Sorry ...No disrespect, but I found the whispering at the beginning ... annoying. The Saint clothing looks great on you! 😎
Can you please review the BMW M Pro Race Helmet and AGV Corsa/Pista? I just wanna know the differences also the prices between these two, which one cheaper? 🙏
Anyone who wants to ride on it, try to avoid weekends or public holidays. When it’s packed you’re going barely 40 the whole way even on the straights it’s irritating
i got the futuro pista gp rr and i don’t have that hole in the cheek pads to put the speakers into…. i have it behind the pads right now and the sounds is super muffled. can’t figure out a fix
Thank you for this comment. I was looking for a comment on Futuro GP RR as I was about to buy it after watching a couple different videos about these pockets.
What I did was I actually drilled a 2cm deep hole with a diameter of 45mm from a circular drill bit from Home Depot. After I applied to sort of “burn” the foam where I cut so it reenforces. After I applied the Velcro stickers, that came in the cardo, and it sounds good. Obviously you have to really find out where your ear sits
Look at them, so wholesome, I want to work for them and be apart of their team and be like a tire cleaner or anything, someone that gets water for them I don't care, just to be on a friggin team like that!! Way to go crew!!
I test rode both of these in the UK back in June as I was looking for an alternative to my 1250GS as my wife no longer rides pillion so we don't tour anymore (I've had 3 so fancied a change but love the boxer engine) I thought the R was just too tiring to ride above 50mph, maybe I just wasn't used to riding a naked bike and I really don't like the look of the headlight. Both were far easier to manage than the taller GS at low speed and for filtering though neither have the telelever front suspension so feel more connected to the road where as the GS just glides along. The RS has more wind protection than the R and will probably need a different screen but overall I preferred it to the R and here in the UK a RS with all the packs is far cheaper than the equivelent GS so my RS is due in my garage very soon ❤
Congrats!! I've not tried a GS yet but these two bikes are perfect for road riding. The low speed and manoeuvring is so easy on these bikes. Agree that the R is very tiring after a long day out!
I can't understand why anyone would ever buy a naked bike, unless maybe they never go over 80 km/h. They're just sooo tiring. I started on them, mostly dirt bikes (XL350,XR250) then a CBX400. I only had the 400 maybe 8 months before switching to a CBX550F2 which had a fairing. Omg! Suddenly a 900 km ride was no more tiring than 250 km on the naked bike. Tried an R80RT for about a year but it was just tooo much fairing, and no power. Had a K100RT for seven years. Good, but then the R1100RT came out. Perfect! I've had that bike for 28 years now, still love it. Recently I was loaned a Yamaha MT-03 while my bike was in for service. Nice engine, smooth, surprisingly torquey for a 300. Easy handling. But just brutal at 110 km/h on a cool day. I took it back and got on my CRF250 Rally and ... omg ... this is SO MUCH MORE comfortable at 110 km/h. It's a dirt bike with a small windscreen and pretty minimal lower fairing, but it works REALLY well. Not as good as the R11RT, of course, but compared to nothing it's just amazing. I remember how when I was 26 or 27 100 km at open road speeds on my XR600 would leave me exhausted, but now at 60 I can do 300 km on the 250 Rally and feel good. But for 900 km days I insist on the RT :-)
I bought my Street Triple because there were no middleweight sports bikes other than the super sports. Now there’s the RS660 and soon to be GSX-8R, which I likely would have tried instead. The Ducati Supersport (which is not a super sport) mostly fits the category, but costs twice what my budget was. At first I though it would be terrible to ride on the freeway for long periods. It’s not the best, but it’s not bad either. The wind is loud, but a good helmet and good earplugs make it fine. The bike is happiest around 70 mph (112 km/h), I’m happiest around 55 mph (88 km/h), so as long as I keep it between there I can go very long distances. I’ve done multiple 1,200 mile weekends (1,950 km) and the worst part is stopping every 50 miles to clean the bugs off my visor.
@@amelia2wheels now that I think about it, back when I owned my naked bikes the nationwide speed limit was 80 km/h. That explains how I tolerated them.
