Thank you for sharing an especially beautiful part of the world with us. I am waiting for delivery of my new 2023 Honda Super Cub, in Colorado. I will learn how to camp with it ,travel on it, and many other things.
They should have a Kickstarter like the old 500 did as well as hydraulically adjusted valve so you don't have to mess with them and all you have to do is change the fluids and filter and maintain the chain.
My BSA 250 Starfire is 100 lb lighter and faster, and is a real British motorcycle. You can pick up the real thing for much less than the price of a Royal Enfield 350 brand new that is second-hand ones are going for giveaway prices because they do not hold their value. All of my BSA 250s that I bought for $500 I can get 7 times what I paid for them. They are great little bikes. Why have hamburger when you can have steak?
It's actually quite a comfy ride all day, I get aches and pains on bigger bikes, but the cub is very good for long distances. Fully loaded with camping kit and myself at 95kg you get 170-180 mpg
Ayup lad, I have just watched your video, it is over 40 years, since I did a road trip, on my old trusty, Honda 175, it seems like yesterday, well done, for championing, a great bike, it just goes to show, biggest is not always best, thank you, fray toth'er side of border, for a very inspiring, get up and go, video, keep smiling😊and happy days.
This such a great and chill video. Thank you for creating it. I bought the same bike with same color. I might have watched may be 30 - 35 times over the last 4 days. I watch it or keep it in the backgroud. RE's engine and the background music - a great combination. And the best part is you riding it through different roads and country side. Every time, I see, it reminds me that destination is important but the journey is more important. Keep making such beautiful videos sir! Thank you! Btw, I chose shotgun 650 but after seeing this video, I went for classic 350 marsh grey.
@nitingupta1338 Thanks for your comments. Im glad you liked the video. I also like the shotgun 650, but I couldn't resist the classic 350 marsh grey . It does take a while to take the footage and edit the video and very hard picking the music to go along with the video, especially when you dont want to breach youtube copyright laws. Im sure you will have many happy miles with your classic, thanks.
Been riding 54 years. I have NEVER had so many compliments and comments from all manner of men on my '23 Classic 350 in gun metal grey. Nothing can compare to this bike as long as speed is not your mandate
@patricktracy7940 Yes, it's funny you say that, don't stop to long, you will never get away from people asking about your bike, which is nice, but I ride my bike to get away from people, lol. Maybe I bought the wrong bike 🤔
Should install engine guards, bigger legs pad, quality side mirrors, touring seats cos you already have old school number plates front mudguard very awesome military looks and please wear military uniform,at least military boots 👢 and pants to appreciate the meaning of Military Vehicles...
@rosliramad7981 All is left is a machine gun, lol. I might fit engine guards, I also have army clothes, but I never wore it on the day, I love the boots I have. I might get chunky Tyres, they look nice. Many thanks.
@@o00scorpion00o Not a problem, I might mix the next video with bike noise and music, Frank Sinatra "I did it my way" lol. Many thanks, hope you enjoy the next one, cheers
Hi Nick, lovely made film, captured the joy of these bikes so well 😁👍 love the follow me drone footage, i need to get a newer drone with the feature as adds a great view to riding 😁👍 Cheers Bruce
Very cool. My son bought a Classic the same time I bought an Interceptor. Having spent quite a bit of time on both now I’ve come to realize he bought the better bike. I plan to remedy the situation in the next week or two and buy one of my own. They are such a pleasing bike to ride.
Yes, I do like the look of the bike with a single seat, but my friend has the same bike and has kept the back seat on, but has panniers on the bike, which also looks nice. I think if you don't have panniers and have the back seat on, it doesn't look as nice as a solo seat, but that's just me. Many thanks
The classic 350 is a great bike if you're in the mood for a chilled out ride. Took mine over to the Manifold Valley the other day and rode the country lanes. I had my flask and sandwiches in one pannier and a set of waterproofs and camera in the other. I lost track of time and eventually came home really chilled out.
Thats my stile now, chill out. I need to stop the race mode in me and slow down and take the ride adventure in. When you ride this bike, you don't and can't race anyone, you don't need to impress anyone, just enjoy the ride.
Hi Peter, thanks for your comments. Yes, the bike sounds great, the music is a nightmare getting something that sounds good and don't breach copyright laws. Let me know what music you would like, and I can change it, cheers.
Love the accessories, esp. the indicators. I've the 350, and one thing I wish it had is a kickstart. Why they were restricted to the 500s, I've no idea.
Thanks for your comments. Yes, your right I also like the kick start, I use it every time I start the bike. I also have the 350 classics and very smooth, but the classic 500 you know you're riding a real bike; you can feel it. Thanks
I did a 200 mile tour on my c90 once, kriega bags worth more than the bike! Anyway it was fun but not enough speed, these new ones look just the job! I think a cub will be my lady bike(one day). Is low too know where you got the screen, track for fuel tank and fuel tank please. Great video!
Thanks for your comments, glad you liked it. Ye the 125cc is more top end speed than the old c90 and better brake on the front. Puig Trafic Screen: fuel tank was eBay purchase and rack was from Ali Express. Many thanks
Thank you for an excellent set of your Western Isles journeys on Honda Cubs - absolutely splendid and really very professionally produced - well done! I like your choice of music rather than chat, although as a motorcyclist I do like to from time to time hear the engines too! You lads won't be the last motorcyclists to take shelter in a bus stop during a sudden downpour!
Thanks for your reply and kind words, it's very much appreciated, I'm glad you liked it. I had to laugh when you said about the bus stop, I like to call them Pit stops or cooking bothies when wet, LOL. If I remember next time, I will get some engine noise or Ting Ting of the Honda Cub exhaust. Cheers
What a pleasant change! A Brilliantly put together video... no silliness, foul language or trying too hard. This was a properly filmed motorbike adventure with superb and interesting footage with well chosen music and I absolutely loved it. Thanks for uploading and I've subscribed and am looking forward to watching part 2. ❤🏍
Thanks for your kind comments, very much appreciated. The music is always hard to pick, not to everyone's taste. I dislike swearing on videos also, but also don't like filming myself and I hate hearing myself talk on video, 😭. Cheers
