Great video, where is the Z900RS Birthday Cake ? :)

Getting one soon, like this week looking at a 2019 both I don't know if I should get it Grey with the green or the whole green and white, both same milage ish, but man can't wait to try it. I heard that if you put it in KTRC 2 helps with the snatchy throttle is that true? If you want to just chill.

Nice vid man !!! It immediately told me two things... I gotta wash mine asap lol, and I need to do a 2 year review also. I have the Cafe 2022.. And I have about 4,000 miles on it. Everything you were saying about it being dialed in, straight off the floor is true ! Do that tail tidy tho ! You wont regret it. Videos on my page under SHORTS. Long form vids coming soon.

One thing that stuck with me the minute I swung a leg over was the cluster. I started on a Vulcan 750 twenty years ago and looking down at that cluster brought me right back. It's so similar. The DNA of their bikes of old is there but with modern sensibilities and it feels like they batted 100 on this one. After a flash, Leo Vince exhaust, a tail tidy and I switched out the side emblems to Z948RS it's pretty much done. You ever catch yourself just staring at it? The look back factor is insane on these. That black and gold is gorgeous. Have a pic of mine on my avatar next to my Honda Fury.

Greetings, As always another brilliant detailed video production 🇺🇲🍾🎉🇺🇲 Do you still have the crf300? Hey, keep producing more videos about the R 18

Yes sir !!! Great bike, I'll never sell it !

So I must have adding about 60 views to this video don’t my tune on my speedmaster. Thank you for your help. Does seem to run better and the dead spot in the throttle that that leads to a snappy throttle has gone. Can you adjust the idle on it or some way?

Great video thank you. Going to tackle my speedmaster 2016 today

So rotating your wrist to activate a feature that allows you to not even have to hold on to a machine that can take you thousands of miles without you having to do anything but sit is burdensome to you. I cant help but wonder if you are the direct descendant of the guy General Patton slapped for being such a little btch in WW2.

I watch your video hoping that you mention something about high speed. I got me the 2024 version just like yours but i am not really happy with it because after 70mph the bike does feel safe. I live here in California and most of my riding is freeway and i dont feel confortable taking the bike above 70. It feels like the front tire is not touching the ground and the wind moves the bike to the side. The bike is 250 miles old and at this point i am king of disapointed.

The CRF has the same engine but it is detuned compared to the CB. The CB has been rated at about 27.5 hp at 8,300 rpm and 18.72 pound-feet of torque at 6,550 rpm at the wheel by Cycle World and the CRF at 22.7 hp at 8,400 rpm and 16.7 pound-feet of torque at 6,400 rpm, at the wheel by Dirt Rider. The CB weighs in about10 lbs more than the CRF. You WILL LOSE Highway capabilities with the CRF. 6th gear on the CRF is so tall that sometimes you have to downshift to 5th to maintain your speed! Any wind, slight slope, elevation or higher speeds will affect this. Not so much in the CB, since the extra 5 hp, which is 21% MORE than the CRF, will make a difference. How much more would it cost to add that hp to the CRF? At least $1K? For a scrambler, easy/mild dirt road (no deep ruts nor rock gardens nor single track) capability, the CB would fit the bill. Those knobbies at 16:00 on the video, an engine guard, some hand guards and maybe a repositioning of the steering (through a different bar or risers) and footpegs, according to your own body dimensions, would fit the bill. I would just add a small windshield or a larger one that is removable when in the dirt, for those times you are riding on the highway at 75 to 80 on your way to your next off-road ride. And yes, some easy/cheap exhaust/intake mod would help too, maybe gain 1-2 hp, anything helps. And if you are going to try to sell me Honda's Scrambler, well, it is about $1,600 more expensive, weighs in at 107 lbs more (more difficult to handle and or pick up in the dirt or the street for that matter), has only 0.2 inches higher ground clearance (CB300R = 5.9 in, SCL500 = 6.1) and only about half-inch more suspension travel F & R. The extra hp on the SCL is not a big difference as the power/weight ratio is 10.7 for the SCL500 and 11.5 for the CB300R. And the CB300R is more fun on the street than the SCL, which has the main advantage of better passenger accomodations due to the long flat seat. One observation, if Honda would come out with a 350cc to 400cc version of this engine it would be game over for just about everyone else. They would destroy the competition until Kawasaki comes out with a bigger engine (as always).

New to me, never respond to these postings. I ride a Vulcan and a Scout Sixty to work as many days as possible here in Houston, Texas when the weather permits. 60 miles a day per trip. I could wax pontific about it all but, you are 100% correct about the starter! I got hit for full price on that one because the serial number was 3 digits over the recall. It totally died like, 2 months after warranty and they gave me the finger. The weird color on the speedometer at night. What was in their mind! -- you can't even read the thing! I memorized the notches so I wouldn't go to jail or get run off the road in the HOV lane. 5th gear, I have never, ever, had a problem on my Scout 60 engaging or using any of the gears. Easy solution, get a heel toe shifter. I have problems here in Houston when it is 100 degrees and everybody is driving crazy in their air-conditioned cars but, it has always shifted on target. The suspension, well, you are accurate I definitely agree with your assessment. You should have mentioned the brakes. You really need to give some space when riding, which is always the norm. But my Indian 60 does not have ABS. It is an older bike like it's old-man owner! LOL! I wanted an Indian motorcycle and when I bought it, I knew all the silliness that wasn't being told to me by the dealer. Easy way to communicate, when I'm tired and just just need to get to work-- I ride the Vulcan. When I want to ride and live to ride- I ride the Indian. I guess I am not sure how to put a price tag on that.

How much difference is there in dji action 3 vs dji action 4 My budget is low

not to take away from your share. what carb is that?... loving the "ole school triumphs!"

I can't get past the limited suspension travel in the rear, no fuel gauge, rpms counted in 50's, not 10's, and without tubeless tires and rims. Too much missing.

Solution is to pay with your Debit card. No fee. Bought a 2023 R1250 GSA and ended up doing the 600 mile service myself. $46 for 4 qts of Castrol Power1 4T Race 5w-40, a $12 Mahle 619 filter, $16 for a liter of Lubrimoly 75w-90 GL5 and $8 in washers. $82 in parts. A little over 1.5 hours in labor. No other "shop fees". BMW, IMHO, really takes advantage of their customers, with some serious price gouging. So bad, every small job, they bill in .5 hour increments. Shop rates where I live are $200/hr. I got quotes of $400 to $460 for my 600 mile service.

Not putting cruising pegs on that

The sissy bar looks sick brah

Congrats on choosing the light brah ! #3 drives me crazy. I HATE the Media Mod. I always lost my framing and would have to re-check the framing from the app EVERY SINGLE TIME I had to swap a battery or take the MicroSD out of the cam. Such a crap design.

What does the ais delete do

Hey Bert I’m 36 just picked up the same bike yesterday, going from a sportster 1200 (still own it, great bike) this bike is a new world, very fun. My question is, what is the best way to carry anything? Like a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread? I saw you tied stuff to the back seat? You use bungie chords? Saddle bags wouldn’t look right like my sportster has.

I will most likely get one as 2024 Road Glides are almost $30K now, I wil put white walls on it , I think it will look great on it.

Thx that’s very well explained

Have you noticed the clutch/shifting being different from a sport bike? I'm used to slightly feathering it in, but this bike seems like you just need to quickly engage it in. I don't know if it's because it's a dry clutch, but I also noticed I still have to find the sweet spot of releasing clutch and adding throttle to get out of first. I noticed the different ride modes change this as well, which complicates the matter. The other thing is, normally I can tell where the shift point is and where the engine's comfort zone is, but this bike is not easy for me to find. It's there, it just doesn't seem obvious. Just two things I have to adjust to.

First, the clunk between 1st and 2nd is so amatures can find neutral. Second, the engine braking seems harsh because you are down shifting too soon at too high of speed and letting the clutch out too fast. Relax and learn the bike. This is a high performance machine, not your 175.

Are u still in love with the bike? :) I will replace soon my little honda with a new w800, oder a moto guzzi v7. I can´t decide yet (guzzi has kardan instead of chain) but i like the w800 a bit more. Are there any "strange problems" or are this a "japanese well built bike" ?

A beautiful and magnificent piece of machinery and a total joy to ride 😎

Good bike too start with and end up with an africa twin

I have one myself and agree with most things you said however you left out the most important part, it’s awesome. I’m never selling mine!!!

Hi really great and detailed review! 😁I know it’s been 10 month but could you tell me if you can easily remove and install the chin guard when wearing the helmet? And do you think the materials on the chin guard is safe enough for commuting and weekend mountain rides! thanks a lot

Great video, next month I'll have a R18 classic and your video has been very useful. I wonder if this bike vibrations may damage the phones cameras stabilizer and what kind of gloves are you wearing? 😎

I have to turn off my bike or td I did it one time as I was slowing down i got it into neutral but I've only done it twice idrk what wrong lol it always shifts into it off and every other gear is perfect

Does anyone know why mine wouldn't work??

really good review, nice one

Nice video. I like that you review the bike and not blast us with loud music. Thank you. The flat seat you mention is the way to go. The trend in seats in the last 30 yrs. has been getting old with me as a 70 yr. old rider with 60 yrs. in the saddle.

This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on Triumph upgrades. Clear concise with good camera work. I like it when you state fastener sizes & torque values. Please do some more. Bravo!

wow, exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

I bought one yesterday in the UK. Test rode it and couldn't get it out of my head. Had to have it!

NICE

Great looking machine .

Excellent capture of the experience. It was great to see you man!

Beautiful Bike.!!! Just bought an 03 1200 100th anniversary sadly the previous owners powder coated the original paint job but I still have the badges.!!! Love the bike can't wait to get on the road and be part of the community.!!

This is a good looking bike in the market for me

I have the Classic and it has the floorboards with heel shifter. Really helps with the up shifts.

CAUTION When buying Sportsters, anything 2003 and below DO NOT have motor mounts. Theyre great for cruising the city, but highway speeds will rattle your brain with vibrations and loosen up bolts.

Great review. You answered every question I had about the SV like you took a question sheet from me. Thanks! Have you tried the Honda Hornet 750? Any thoughts how the bikes compare.

Truxton crush 🥰

It was only a matter of time before the R18 broke through the v-twin mindset of the cruiser scene. A Modern classic, iconic boxer pedigree. With regards to the suspension, make sure you adjust the preload, keeping in mind that the minimum / default setting is for a 85kg rider with a full tank of fuel. If you're lighter than 85kg, it'll feel harsh and cannot be adjusted beyond that, so your opnly option to match the preload is to add weight. Luckily I'm 100kg and have the preload adjusted up with great results.

How much have u pay for it ?

When I loaded it on my Thruxton 6 years ago, it took 15 minutes no problems. I even purchased a new FTDI cable from Ultimate Triumph Performance in Sydney, and that wouldn't work at all. I contacted them and they refunded the cost as the cables they had been supplied were Chinese pirate cables, they apologised. I'm paranoid about checking anything on the bike with the tune in case it all goes wrong again. It must be a common issue, I think, with the tune.
