Thanks 🤣

Thanks for watching! I hope you'll enjoy the bike as much as I do 😁

Thank you! Very much appreciated 🙂

Thanks for watching 😊 Kawasaki really improved the exhaust sound on the newer models. I'm glad they did 👍

@@FredEricS-Motowhat year is your w800? sounds amazing!

​@@nikolaskazantzis2905 it's the 2020 model :-)

Me neither 🤣 I tried everything from panniers to extra thick wind protection, but everything has some caveat, mostly sound quality. So I went with post audio editing. I try to filter out as much wind and chain noise with an equalizer as possible without losing or manipulating the actual exhaust sound. If you listen to the video with hifi headphones, you'll hear there's still some wind in there 😅

Sorry to hear you've had such trouble. Those parcel postage prices are insane 😱

Danke 😁

It's pathological 😅 Every bridge or tunnel I have to do that. The mics don't pick up the reverb it creates, but I hear it and giggle like a little kid every time 🤣

@@FredEricS-Moto Haha, I totally understand, I think many bikers ‘suffer’ from that disorder. Anyway, I’ll probably be ordering my W800 later today! So soon I’ll be following in your footsteps. Cheers!

@@ericcrama2221 Nice! 🤘🏻 I'm sure you'll have a great time with your W 😁

Yes, it's the stock exhaust of the 2020 model 😃

@@FredEricS-Moto Nice. Do you know if it's the same exhaust on the Street model?

​@fiucik1 I assume it is since it's the same motor but I don't know for sure 🤔

Thanks for watching 😁

It’s a very under-stressed engine

Hi, thanks for watching 😊 The 2020 W800 is still a Euro 4 Modell 😁

Thanks for watching 😊 Sorry for the lack of new content 😅

Does your 2023 MY have the same exhaust sound, with all tohose lovely pop pop when realising the gas?

Yes, it's the stock exhaust on the 2020 model 😁👌

I don't think it will fit unless you've added some form of rail or mounting mechanism. This is purely judging from the photos of the bike, as I haven't seen the bike live since it's not a bike I'm interested in 😅

I do that too 🤣👍

@@FredEricS-Moto Did you do anything to the exhaust? Is it really the actual stock sound, like said in the description? Or did you take off the DB killer? I mean, this exhaust note is absolutely sublime. In this day and age, it's kind of surprising to see a manufacturer making sure the bike sounds good. :)

@@jaybou007 it's the stock exhaust without any modifications. Kawasaki overhauled the exhaust with the 2019 models and this is the result. Earlier models are really quiet and only sound good with an aftermarket exhaust imo, but models from 2019 onward sound really good with the stock exhaust 👍

Nope, it's Germany. Although I do have some Norway videos coming up once I get around to editing. Might take a while though, life has been and is quite busy 😕

Do you mean in general or in this video specifically? 🙂

@@FredEricS-Moto for more than 5-6years I have this too 2015 ver.

Oh okay 😊 I don't really notice the bevel sound while riding. Maybe they changed that with the 2020 version too? Or the changed exhaust sound tunes out the bevel sound? When riding, the only things I hear are the wind and the exhaust 😅

You're welcome 😊 Thanks for watching 😁

Danke 😊

Thanks for watching ☺️

My thoughts exactly 😊

It is, isn't it? Just came back from a 3000km tour with the W. No other bike I would have wanted to ride on this trip. Your Meguro K3 is also a very beautiful bike! Have a great summer 😊

Thank you.Let's enjoy motorcycles so that there are no accidents.

Yes, it is 😊 Starting with the 2019 models, Kawasaki revised the exhaust sound and did a very good job! Earlier models are very quiet and definitely need an aftermarket exhaust to (legally) sound good 🤣

@@FredEricS-Moto thank you. I like this bike now😁

Thanks for watching and commenting! I'm a big fan of your content 😁 Humbled you'd visit my small channel 😊👍

🤣👍

There's no weight on the wrists due to the upright sitting position on the bike. So your hands basically just hang off the handlebar. The suspension is also quite soft so there's no real impact on the hands and wrists to deal with 😊

Nope, that's the chain. You can only hear it on the recording due to the positioning of the shotgun mics and no proper eq on the track in these early recordings. I've since been able to find eq settings that reduce the chain and brake caliper sounds 🙂

I like it, especially compared to older W800s pre 2019. Could be a tad louder though 🤣

Danke 😊 Ich hoffe ich kann bald wieder regelmäßig Videos hochladen 👍

@@FredEricS-Moto Ich würde mich freuen! 👍

Can't really say that's the experience I've had. The products I've received were top notch 99% of the time. Though communication can take a while, I've received replacement parts free of charge (only needed once though). Customs and shipping, when handled by DHL, can sometimes be to high because DHL uses the wrong values (for example shipping fee) to calculate customs. But that can usually be objected afterward and customs will return what was payed too much. Your order having a defect is of course not good, that should have been caught by QA. However when ordering from a company outside of your own country/economic zone, customs is almost always going to be your loss, not sure why TM should be at fault 😕 With you though, that in case of returning a defective product, shipping should be covered.

Thanks for watching 😁

Owning a W800 was a dream for me for a long time. Saved up for ages and then finally bought one 😊 One of the best bikes I've ridden 😀

@@FredEricS-Moto congratulations!!! a very harmonious bike!! but for now it's just a dream.

Thanks for watching! Happy you liked the video 😁 Please check the video description for information about any gear used 😊

Freut mich, dass die Videos (und mein Fahrstil) gefallen 🙂 Ich bin 1.93 und passe noch gut auf die W800, wobei ich auf meiner Classic tatsächlich aufrechter sitze und die Beine entspannter sind. Der Unterschied ist aber minimal und fällt kaum auf. Auf beiden fährt es sich auf kurzen wie auf langen Touren sehr angenehm. Mein Mantra zum fahren auf Motorrädern wie auf Fahrrädern ist übrigens "fahre, als wärst du unsichtbar". Den Rat gab mir mein Vater vor vielen Jahren 😊

Yeah, she's a great bike. I always try to alternate between the bikes for each ride. The Messenger Bags have straps on the back, so you can attach them to the handles on each side of the W800 🙂 Bigger panniers would have to be attached elsewhere, like over or under the seat for example.

@@FredEricS-Moto thank you
