Yes. They are a US company. Go to there website, they can accommodate most helmets. Customer service is good if you need to get InTouch with them. Safe riding.

Hi I've been on another R18 since this one and it was a totally different experience. It was a lot smoother the back break was strong the jerk when you first start the bike so much less aggressive. The bike I did the first impression on I learned afterwards it had a few issues. Best thing to do go and test ride a few times. As you know what suits one person may not suit another. Decide what you're really want out of a motorbike. Also I will suggest test riding as many different bikes take your fancy. The cruiser I ride at the moment Yamaha midnight Star 1300 which suits me because there's no fancy equipment is just basically a engine to wheels and a seat. The one cruiser that I have found to be maybe a little underrated and surprisingly fun to ride was the Honda Rebel 1100 I did a little first impression video on that one maybe something to think about. Safe riding.

@@Bikerlee555 thanks for the guidance

What the hell. That's s lot. You tried Bennetts insurance. I've got a midnight Star 1300 I've just ensured £230 pound.

@@Bikerlee555 I had the new hornet for a year znd renewal price was only £250, but got rid of it and got a new vstrom 650 for better wind protection. Fancied the cbr just for a bit more oomph but the biggest oomph was the insurance quote.

Hi. Use quite a few different mics but because of my heart condition I breathe really loud and heavy and found that most of the mics make me sound like Darth Vader 😂 lol. I used a purple panda Mic on this video and I don't think I would use any other. Cost around about £25 English pounds depends where you buy from. It's also brilliant at keeping the wind noise to a minimum when you're speaking if you've got your visor up. Hope this helps safe riding.

Hi I've had a ride on another r18 and that one was spot on completely different experience. The one I used in the first impression ride actually went into the workshop as I got it back to the garage I believe there was something wrong with the flywheel. Will have to do another video as I do believe it will be the better experience from the first one I had. All the best and safe riding.

Not been up since this vid. Forgot it's 20 mph. Now. May take a trip up this weekend to check it out.

Best of luck, they have ruined a motorbike ride!@@Bikerlee555

Been on another r18 since this video. A lot better. The one in the video went into the work shop shortly after the video .

​@Bikerlee555 fly wheel on a nearly new bike not good!

I live on the Welsh border. So for a ride out I will be bouncing between Wales and England. Seems when the 20 mile game out everyone was dropping down to it but now no one. ( Ok maybe one or two.) Is keeping to it. But most are back up to 30- 35 miles in the 20 mile zones. Maybe it's because I'm on the border. Don't know if it's the same as you go further into Wales and more towns and villages have the 20.

Thank you!

Thanks. Going to do 6 months ownership review next month. Not done any video's for the last few months been away a lot. Starting back September. How is the triumph. Would you recommend?? Safe riding.

@@Bikerlee555 thanks for reply. I would definitely recommend the triumph Bonny to someone who already owns a middleweight cruiser such as ours. It’s a great “kick-around-towner, that can get going on the highways. I put the dart mini screen on mine and can do 100-150 mile day trips comfortably. After 2020 triumph took the center stand off as standard(bummer). So I’m glad I bought that year.

Going hopefully next week to give the t-120 a ride. But got shit weather here a moment. Been a dull rainy summer. Looking forward to trying the bike out.

@@Bikerlee555 you’ll enjoy it, for sure.

I have a CB650R, the naked version. It's fine in traffic. You can feel the heat on your calves but the engine temp on the display stays in the normal range. I haven't tried it in hot conditions though.

You be surprised how many times I get asked lol.

I'm No good at driving cars either lol.🫣🤣 Safe riding

I've heard through the grapevine that here in the UK they are going to be making bikes in the near future even quieter.

For me this is the best colour combo, still like it. Will be doing more first impression rides the end of next month look out for those. Safe riding.

Good to know. Thanks. Safe riding.

Yeah, I don't understand people that want it to be louder lol

Yet another mention of this amazing chart somewhere that rates everything.

Hi Been finding with all engines in or around this category of motorbike the engines are quite similar. I think it would depend on what riding style you prefer. The Suzuki as good mid-range torque the Honda is more towards the high end. So it likes a lot of rev. The best thing to do if possible is to test ride both motorbikes to see which is more compatible to your riding style. Me personally I preferred the Suzuki GSX 8s as I found more suited to my riding style .

8S engine is way more refined. I’ve ridden both, low speed the Suzuki isn’t jerky at all. Same can’t be said for Honda. The power of the 8S you feel straight away. Better bike for short shifting. Honda was more fun to rev out. Honda has the better engine to explore and sounds way better. I went with the 8S as it won nearly every category and I haven’t regretted it.

@@florme6494 what do you want to say?

Same thought. Why?

I completely agree, I hated the first ride I had on one of these, half an hour, and I was done. Then had another go, in the winter, i loved it so much I bought then and there. You have to learn it, it's gorgwhen you have. I've got a K1600gtl, and VFR800, so ive got a good idea of the differences. I also agree he's a little scared of it, not surprising. 😊

Thanks for comment, yes the size does frighten people, I find the bike so well balanced, once you pull off, all the wait goes, but I love the low seat, me only being 29inch leg. He needs to pull the throttle back to appreciate what this bike can do. Every where I go with my bike people flock around it, it's like every bike, either you like it, or hate it. I've also owned four harleys, but build quality and ride is far superior.

You are spot on! My very experience after I bought mine. Had to get used to it. Now, I am glad I have it.

It’s not for your beginner and not a cookie cutter for sure
