Not sure I would agree with the logic here...Transalp is a very good bike, T7 is a monster and still didn't do well, but Himalayan??? That simply can not be the best Middleweight bike. The reliability, dealer network, power, capability??? No way, no how. Not sure what motivations or reasoning behind the list are but not in my mind, and as it shows, many other people here, which are all bike fans. Maybe do another review, set out the criteria and go from there. But, I don't see anyone choosing Himalayan over any below it, no matter what the money is, unless they live in India and are on the budget...very low budget. And what about Tuareg, really?
Alex, I don't have any more kidneys to sell! Stop it! The Diavel V4 and the Rocket 3 is such an eye turner. I'm also very much interested in the Indian Scout. Indian are making incredibly stylish modern bobbers/cruisers that outshine Harley-Davidson.
Switching from Street Triple RS to MT-09 SP '24. The Street Triple is a perfect and serious weapon for track riding, but it's lacking the emotions, playfulness and grunt that the MT-09 offers for street riding.
Don't take medley and iget if you want to hear my opinion. I have medley 150 and use it as delivery. To many issues and the engine is dead in 60000 km. Ok is fast and easy to drive but will cost you to much. I am very disappointed
I've recently got the 200 myself. I opted for the Akro exhaust system and the Malossi Delta clutch and variator kit. Feel nice and snappy, definitely 70+. I'm around 6 foot tall and find it comfortable, as you mentioned, if you're on the tall side then definitely go try one on, body proportions can make a lot of difference. Later down the line I'll be adding the Malossi 205 kit (For giggles) but overall, I love my 200 Dragster :D
Yamaha Tricity 300. After long history of riding different scooters, and few motorcycles ( last kawasaki ER-5), I have bought new Yamaha Tricity 300. I have it for a year now.. It's such a great machine...Comfortable, very sure footed(tons of grip), easy on the gas( 3l/100km around town)... under seat storage is massive! Two full-size helmets and more space left for a jacket. This is such a plus for going for a shopping.. Enough power for longer journeys..also you get lockable suspension of the three wheels which makes parking and moving in a garage easy..Also standing on the traffic lights without the need to put your legs down..ABS, traction control all standard. Digital display.. I simply love it and enjoy riding it..
After over 40 new bikes and v100s my first MG I spent the first hour thinking OMG what have I done, 2nd hour OK I can live with this, after 3rd hour I kept riding for another 3hrs and didnt want to get off it. After 2 months and 7000klm I still can't keep off it.
I saw this review ages after you made the video. I’m interested in the Kymco Downtown 350i. I’ve been trying to find more recent videos so I can see if the dash is more techy like the other scooters. I’ve seen lots of videos on what a good scooter it is but they are all older videos.
