I ended up buying a 05' KLR250 with 4,200 miles for $400. Granted, it's not in the best condition, but I got it running poorly then I crashed on it & now I'm rebuilding it again and properly, so it's gonna run perfectly this time, so I get riding safe this time!

2024, where you at! Still on this vstrom?

what do you think about reliability on these bikes of these years?

Why does it idle at 3200? Is the gas stuck or something?

I have this EXACT 2018 Moto Guzzi V7iii Stone! It's my 1st motorcycle and I love it! My rear shocks, saddle, and a few more things the 1st owner meticulously installed are aftermarket. It's a very quirky machine, but hey... I'm a New Yorker who owned a Saab!

Im considering buying a 2008 dl1000 with 70,000 miles. Is that high mileage and should i be concerned? What can i expect in terms of maintenance and issues that this bike faces especially at that number of miles?

So unprepared. No idea about hp, type of drive etc. Why making people spend time to watch this? Happy for you for your 1st Guzzi ride. Other than that it was useless.

Turdy time! Lol

Have you had any problems with the kick start? I’m having trouble with mine. Only starts if I push it

Watching in 2024, going to look at a 06 strom today. 20k miles on it.

What tires do you have on it out of curiousity?

One of my favorite roads. Did it on a KLR with knobbies west to east, and several passes on a '79 CB750. Probably a character flaw, but I've never stopped at the Overlook... Edit: forgot to mention that I rode today, 29° Feb 27, 2024

what kind of boots are those, bro?

Probably picking up a klr250 this afternoon, needs a little work, but i see you have VT vids, and have just subbed, since I'm an ADVer in bratt...

Is it worth selling 650 To buy 1000?

Had a DR350 almost impossible to start when warm, so yra a pain in the ass.

Ho! Ho! I was driving over this gap in my Porsche, soaking up the scenery when three fellows on motorcycles rode by me! Memory Highway!

Hard starting on the old KLR s is because the flywheel loses its magnetism and the engine has to turn over faster to create spark - also the auto decompresser wears and slows it down on electric starters ! Took 2 years of pain to find that out !!!

How did you replace the chain? That was the part I needed to see lol

I have the Delkevic exhaust on my dirtbike and I have to say that thing would drive me nuts on a touring bike! NO WAY, I agree with you

Great video... but Bruce Springsteen HAS to go!!! I had to watch the video like a silent movie because I was afraid Bruce's nasty voice might pop in! 🤣🤣

What about vibes? Some say that they are quite annoying.

Great bike. I've got the same 2004 1000. Bought new, and still looks and rides as new with about 21k miles. I've test ridden many bikes over the years, and this is the best all around bike. Very versatile and comfortable. Still love it.

Enjoyed every minute

Do you still have this bike ?

with that head gasket and torque you applied i am sure you will have pressure leak to the cooling system, and will have overheating

Bought a 2002 dl1000 in 2008 and after 4days left Athens to Milan, Corsica and back still have it. Never opened the engine.

what a fucking pussy crybaby complainer. stay on road if you cant handle simple gravel road with puddles

Good to know it fits. Looking for a plate for my '88.

I just bought it today....they gonna deliver wednesday....Im very excited.....😍😊😊😇

I bought one a few weeks ago. 21 years old with very low mileage. I think it's a good all-rounder.

Put rubber bands or tape on your swivel extension to limit how far it can bend.

I heard there are 4 cylinder engines with good torque at low rpm too (e.g. Bandit 1200/1250).

So, here it's Sept of 2022 watching a video review of an 08 Vstrom in 2016.. I gotta say, it's still relevant. I had a 04 DL1K about 8 years ago for 6 years, terrific machine as American Flyer has demonstrated.. since, I've been through a Bandit 1200s, 1250s and a Miata- a bike with doors ;) just this month, picked up an 06 DL650 (Weestom) and I must say, it's really an ideal bike, also still relevant especially if folks don't have tons of cash for the newer stuff.. $3K +/- can get you something totally usable and actually 80% as good as the current offerings at multiple of thousands more, if you don't mind not having abs, ride modes, etc..also they are known for stunning reliability.. the 650 does, really well, it does lack that hard 1000cc pull, but it really does quite good, plenty for traffic.. will hold 80mph just fine with a decent reserve, just won't freight train up to 120+++ like the big brother.. I spend less time managing the bike and more time enjoying the ride..

Better get zinc oil that's why cams are scarce!!

The clutch suffers from chudder horrible sound and suzuki still ain’t fixed it

Iv had a few of these in this motor/chassis including the '18 with EFI. I think its based off the 1995 platform still but still the same motor/suspension and reliability. The BEST power mod for cheap on these is sprockets. AT LEAST swap the front to a 13t for street riding. I had 14/48 with a 100-100 Kenda Trakmaster and it was great for fast trail riding and general exploring, plenty of power. Im going to look for '06-07 this winter for a project to tinker with clean up, for another dual sport since Im so familiar with them and have a KDX sorted out for my enduro rides.

Turdy time 😅😅.

Your voice is really cool

I hear that clunk into second gear!! My 2002 does the same

This graphic looks like one’s wearing pair of trunks on a head. No hating, just noticed.

I had a 1993 94 it was a really good bike lots of fun times very reliable and solid

Have you put an adjustable chain tensioner on it?

great review. laughed my ass off

I just "discovered" Track Days (with Penguin Racing) last summer. The most fun I've ever had on a motorcycle! Looking forward to this season starting back up in 4 weeks. Will you be going back??? Keep yourself safe! 😃👍❤🏍 Randy

i love 😮 my fj 09 and she will take off on you dont be deceived by her looks

Awesome video! Looking at getting a 250 klr

And all so how can you judge a bike when you have no clue what your ridding.

You keep saying In line twin .it's a Air cooled V twin.from the bolt

This guy has missed his calling. I'd listen to him doing a review on a spatula. He's pretty funny.
