I like meeting new people, learning about them and their bikes, or products. Traveling and sharing my experience of the places I go and the things I see.

    I've been extremely impressed with the performance of my Dunlop Mutant tires, especially in cold weather. They warm up rapidly and provide excellent grip, living up to their M+S (Mud and Snow) designation. This is my second set; I put almost 12,000 miles on the first set, riding my 2009 Suzuki B-King year-round, in all weather conditions, for my daily commute. I cover roughly 15,000 miles per year, and these tires have consistently delivered a safe and confident ride.

    Hiya Murt - nice review. I have Bridgestone Battlax A41s on mine, and that front tire is noisy. I guess the fork tunnel doesn’t help - just directs the road noise straight up. I’ve replaced the front at 5500 miles, back was still good as new. When it’s time, I haven’t decided if I will go Michelin Road 6s or Trailmax Missions. Leaning toward the Road 6s. It pays to take care of tires - I got 150,000 miles out of a set of 5 Goodyear Wranglers! Happy New Year my friend…

    Great review Murt, I think a lot of tyre wear comes from riding style. If you ride the liathroidi off the bike, ripping up and down the gear box ect it does count for a lot of wear. I remember Andy Boothman saying to me that he can't understand how long my tyres, chain and sprockets last, I put it down to trying to ride as smooth as I can. I love your reviews on products a lot of us use. I don't know if you ever did a review on gloves and is there a truly waterproof glove. This review on these particular ture is for a tyre I can't see on a bike type I will ride but to someone such as yourself that does tour and do high milage they seem the ideal choise of footwear.

    Easy to fix. These units doesn't like cold weather. Remove it from the bike, place it horizontally in front of a heater/heat pump for a couple of hours to warm up the gel in the touch screen. Make sure the unit it self warms up to 25 to 30 deg Celsius and that will solve the ghosting/ frozen screen. Remove it from the bike and place in pouch indoors at good room temperature when not in use.

    Replacing the initial GPR300, I now have a set of Mutant tires on my NT and have reached the 11k km, but I suspect they will not last much longer. So far they have given me a very good feedback on dry, wet and light off-road. Next I'm going to try the Road 6GT Michelin, because a lot of people says will last longer with an excellent grip. Let's hope so. It's going to be tough to compete with the Mutant. By the way, they do start becoming lightlly noisy to the end, however it doesn't bother me.

    Murt i suppose you haven't ridden the 800 RE during night time, but many actually complained about its inadequate headlight - either the angle and/or the intensity. I have no issue with the design. But the colours are a bit drab and lacking some sophistication. I know Suzuki would like to keep a simple design etho, but they could have introduced a level of complexity/creativity in colour contrast or pattern. Lastly, a wind shield that is easy to adjust its level is not too much of an ask Suzuki..!

      @@hezrimustapha6906 Hello and thank you for your message. Happy New Year 🥳 yes unfortunately I don’t get much time with any motorcycle so No I have never ridden the V Strom at night time. As for the colour I find a lot of manufacturers have limited paint options. The V Strom is built to a price point so limited paint options. I thought the wind shield was adjustable with the screws? I think it’s a price point thing again. I still think it’s a great bike for the money. If I had the bike for longer I’d form a much broader opinion. Ride safe take care in 2025. Thank you for stopping bye. Murt 😁👍

    I find it unbelievable that anyone gets more than 8k km from any motorcycle road tyre. Including Metzeler, Michelin Pilots, Conti Attacks, Mitas touring force. I have recently fitted the Mutants to my bm 1200 and judging by another youtube review I'll be lucky to get 8k km from these. I find it strange that you would review these tyres after 400 miles. Most new tyres have grip and good handling when new...I'll be interested to hear what you have to say in 6-12 months when they require changing.

    Hello :) and thanks for your video :) i also had the Nav 6 with ghosting, now got new Nav 6 device as replacement, but meanwhile i was waiting for it from my dealer, i bought the BMW connected ride navigator which is totally boring compare to Nav 6 and has few little problems that will be fixed by software updates during time hopefully. Now i have a dilema.. keep the boring Connected ride Nav and hope for better updates, or keep the Nav 6 and expect troubles. Could you please tell if any of your options gets rid of the ghosting problems for long time or forever? in this case i would keep the Nav 6 and sell Connected ride. FIx i heard about: take out battery from Nav 6 and place it in owen, display down, 60-70 degrees Celsius for 10 mins, helps for some time. I didnt have to try it yet.

      The issue with the Nav 6 is the Gel depletes in sunlight. The repair I had done worked. Although the service and communication was not very good. The repair worked and is still working. I am told that this repair can be done at home! Hope this is some help to you. Good luck on your mission. Murt

    I bought a 250 lc in 82, 4th hand. Then came 3 lc 350s into the mid 80s. A red and white one with micron's and a Mars bar one with small end can allspeeds. Ear piercing loud! They all were prity flat until about 6500 rpm, then a right kick up the arse power band acceleration hit ! Totally addictive to a man in his twenties! They still look as good now as the day i first saw one in mcn . A true classic!!

      Hi. Another one would be ace.. but silly money now ov cause. After the 350s I owned a 500 lc for a couple of years. Even more fun! It got stolen one Saturday afternoon in the centre of Leeds. Had to get the bus back to Dewsbury ! Coppers did get me it back though 6 weeks later. Padgetts in Batley fixed it just in time for the 87 TT. Fantastic years all through the 80s and 90s on mainly 2 strokes. I still own 3 today. But it's not the same eny more... Mainly because I'm 64😩🤣👍

Yes the 350 rd lc was an amazing bike in the early 80s! I bought an almost new ( 1,100) miles tzr 250 in about 88 Much better bike than the rd 350! Don't get me started on about the TDR or rgv 250s. Cuckoo!! The 350 lc was an amazing bike in 1981 especially with all the tuning bits that could be fitted too it.. standard today they look a bit.. ordenary .. put some chrome noisy pipes on, .uck the centre stand off, Belly pan fitted and rear set's 😋😎
