Amazing content and voice…if you plan to fall asleep fast

Waaaay too close with a power washer for my liking😳

Any time I want I’m in the wind.

Can u reply with a link to the adapter. Only finding the video after a year that it’s been posted so I wanna make sure the product is the same you bought

A well engineered naked bike will ask your to push, flick it around corners like nothing else and constantly inspire you to drive harder. This is not good a thing, especially on the streets, it's not a question of if but when and on a naked that's coming a lot sooner. While a cruiser fights you constantly, fills you with doubt, as soon as you start pushing it tells you a hundred and one ways it's a bad idea - this reigns in the stupidity. The ride between the two is different but for me it's just as enjoyable - I switched from naked to cruisers because I was getting myself into trouble, the unwarranted confidence will kill you or worse. That being said a lot of the new cruisers are quite sporty, almost hybrids. High revving, high performance and aren't going to fight you as much as a traditional cruiser - not a fan myself, theres something so pleasurable about the low down torque of a dumb cruiser while you guide it around the bends

Thoroughly enjoyed the music selection 👌

Hey Andy, I know this vid was a while ago, but I'm guessing you didn't get the bike tuned after exhaust? Did exhaust give more power over stock?? Cheers mate

Brilliant video, really helped, and subscribed 👍

Just got this bike a week ago and i agree with all your points! One of the more comprehensive real world reviews. Loving the bike so far!

Too much water spending

Aside from chain lube...I use only one...yes...ONE chemical product...and I've been using it for some 4+ decades. I use the GERMAN made, motorcycle specific, all purpose cleaner....S-100. Wet/rinse bike with water....spray on all parts of motorbike...lightly scrub/brush the more 'mucky' areas...rinse off and dry. One product. FAST. Efficient. VERY Effective. SAFE for all motorcycle component materials...AND...only 1 product. I highly recommend it...S-100 all purpose motorcycle cleaner.

It will be very helpful for you to rotate the front wheel by using paddock stand on the front too.

Nice work there mate. I liked the idea of your spreadsheet so much I diecided to make myself one that calculates the replacemet shim thickness - docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eIWhhMBGlw56_pPcTK5wLMX4eCTDjC2wNrJHwKnUqVE/edit?usp=sharing Worth a mention when selecting shims do so in a way they will allow more clearence not less i.e 1.685mm shim use a 1.675 not a 1.688 Shared my spreadsheet in case anyone is interested.

What a great listen, you nailed it 😂

Never wash your bike like that, I don't care what people say, the water will f--k your bike for sure!

Which spray you used in engine

I've got the previous Gen 1050 rs. Put 8000 miles on in 2 years. It's quite a good bike. I got rid of the huge exhausts in favor of a small can like yours. Thinking about switching it up again and am not sure this new one is better enough to bother with. Same frame, similar suspension, different motor / tranny. I've not tried one yet but I have tested newer tuono and s1000r. Probably won't go for either though semi active susp. is niiiice. What to do...

(Applause) Very well said.

All the bikes you compared it to on fuel economy were much smaller. So it's not a good and accurate comparison.

Sounds like a Ducati. If I were the cops, I would have given up on the chase, pulled you over to drool over your bike..

Mate thank you so much for this video. I have just bought the exact same setup as you and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why I had no sound at all until you mentioned having to use the TRS Adapter that comes with the Purple Panda. I was ready to chuck it out of the window until I came across this video. Your audio sounds great and I'm hoping that I can replicate that when the rain finally stops and I can get out on my bike to test it.

A lot of work Andy. You got some talent. Well done. Good laugh.

I wouldn't run it for more than you need to without getting mapped, they are really lean and can cause damage if ridden hard for a long time

Britts are some hardcore motherfuckers . How are you guys comfortable sharing roads like these with cars ?? Every oncoming car is making me nervous . My first and current bike is a triumph America, I've been a Triumph fan ever since . Truly is a motorcycle for gentlemen

How would this be for taller riders?

Usi acqua con troppa pressione

I was out for a ride today with a buddy and we talked about almost every point you covered lol. Cheers from Canada

What stand do you use? The one i got for my speed triple dont fit too nice.

Until first little puddle…

won't the gt85 make dirt stick easier/ make the cleanup down the line a bit tougher/ gunkier?

U should of stopped long before you did I go over to my mates who live on the island so he tells me if ok before I come

180 mpg range riding nice. That's pretty good for a hooligan bike. I had a test ride and it was doing 43mpg ...

do you have 2 microphones(purplepanda) one in helmet and one somewhere else or just that one in your helmet cuz it sounds great and im looking to buy the purplepanda mic for my action 4 camera.

Have to say an outstanding video presentation, with an honest down to earth, not to mention, constructive commentary. Thank you for posting. I have been riding a BMWR1250R since brand new, for 3 years, but warranty has finished. Big bucks coming up. 1 years extra warranty, £400, the bike is cheap to service but not at 12000 miles. Also my 'local' BM dealer is 50 miles away. My local triumph is but 3. Done a deal there for exactly this bike, but not yet committed. But can ride away 4 years warranty + plus breakdown, brand new. Local dealer if issues. I am a pensioner with several years no claims, my BW quote was £217 last year, been quoted £360 for this bike (£1050 for a ZX10, which I would not buy). Dont like TFT screens, the BM is idiotic and worse, but that is me. Like the old style clocks. My one concern is that the bike is reported to having an overly stiff suspension, you did not mention that, which is reassuring. The bike has virtually the same 0-100 kmph as the BM, but the BM is smooth at low revs due to its high torque engine. It seems the power is really reserved for high speed. The BM does 65 mpg, getting on to half that of this bike, but not doing more than 5000 miles a year, is not a big issue.

My biggest gripe about my 22 speed triple 1200 rr is the dash board feel. It’s ugly and it’s clunky. Like the software is ugly and bad. Excellent bike!

That is a sick bike! I love the exhaust. I have a street triple rs and have been looking at trading it in for a speed triple rs.

Sick intro!

Rest in peace Andy. It has been a pleasure riding with you my friend. You did what you loved. The bike was beautiful mate.

Sorry no tips but I’m enjoying watching the progress you’ve been making

Brilliant new video, it’s coming on nicely 👍

It's cleaning up nice. 👍 I hope to see you riding it soon.

Had mine a year love it. NO issues so far .

Great video ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I realise you don't have a lot of room to spare, but crikey, a bike lift would have to make life a lot easier for you! I take my hat off to you for achieving what you do, doing things the hard way on the ground/floor. Keep up the great work mate, I can't wait to see the end result! Cheers from Oz. 👍👍🇦🇺

You’ll be reworking & refinishing this once highly prized machine for months but in the meantime well done for giving her a new lease of life. I can’t wait to see the finished product

Accurate review. I reckon Triumph could make a 900 Speed, in the same chassis with the torque focused purely for more realistic and satisfying road use. There is real frustration in not being able to feed it the fat coz its just so damn quick on the road. Interestingly no comment on the suspension?

Rear tire can easily need changed with the oil if ridden hard.

Wonderful. Putting it back together is the light at the end of the tunnel.

Yeah I seem to remember the service manual way of checking the valves was confusing, I believe they say do it that way to save time, instead of having each cam lobe pointing directly up, they are put in a position so that you can check multiple valves at once and save a small amount of time, instead of having to turn each one, I think, anyway.
