I’ve had mine since 2013. Absolutely love it. I’ve had many different bikes over the course of 50 years but have had this one the longest. That in itself says something. Great video!
That's great John. I imagine that if I had one, I'd never sell it. I might get other motorcycles to go with it, but I would probably always keep it in the garage.
I've had my 2016 honda fury for 5 years now I've had Harleys and kawasaki this fury is the best so far compared to the others comfortable to ride smooth shifting good acceleration I definitely would buy another and I get to this day a lot of compliments I got the blue with the black rims and black motor love it
Happy about the bike the way it is just a well fitted bike and comfortable to ride. I feel really cool on it. It just sticks out there. From the day I seen it , I told my self I got to have one. It’s Honda and dependable . A great cruiser bike. Love it.
Well said! They're great machines. Very reliable. Very cool. It definitely "sticks out", but the fact everyone smiles when they see it and all the kids wave and get excited makes it kind of worth it. It's not fun in a sporty way, it's fun in a social way. I don't know if I could commute in it to work and back 9-5 in traffic every day, but as an evening and weekend machine, definitely enjoyable.
i have a 2010 i installed the cobra exhaust a cobra fuel tuner and pair valve delete plates i installed the longer forks and triple tree, handlebar risers i love mine it now fits me perfect!
I have a stateline, which is pretty much the fury with a few minor differences and different wheel sizes. I absolutely LOVE IT, has cobra pipes on it, a tuner, thing rides like a dream and everywhere I go I get the "whoa, what is that bike??? it looks so nice, is it custom??" NOPE, just a stateline. Also I took it on the tail of the dragon, the pipes dragged a little but, I had ZERO issues in the turns with this long bike. Love these bikes from honda, incredibly well balanced straight from the factory.
Yes, but not over the top for around town, which is nice. On my V-Rod as soon as I would let the clutch out, she wanted to GO. The Fury is much more calm and reserved.
@@YouMotorcycle most definitely, I’m sure you could go get it professionally tuned and put out numbers but I don’t think the engine was built for performance, more of a chill motor
Thanks! It doesn't fit on the stock Black Widow Extra Wide Pneumatic lift so I got the front extension to put on the table (in my next video), so I could do a bunch of maintenance on this bike after that (future videos haha)
Don't try and rest your leg on anything just put your put on footpeg and let your knee just kind of hang out that's what I do on mine never gets tired I don't hug the tank on that bike like I do on my Harley
Beautiful looking bikes. Comparing it to the Valkyrie you might be surprised though. The wheelbase on the fury is only about 10 cm longer, not a big difference over your bike, center of gravity is lower on the fury, and it weighs 10% less... Handling might be a closer than you think. Power is definitely in the Valkyrie's favor. That thing is an absolute beast!
I live in the most densely populated city in my country. The public roads are all straight lines, stop signs, red lights, and waiting for people to turn. You wouldn't have liked it.
12463 miles only thing I've not liked about it is I've had to buy 2 battery's when it gets hot after a long ride it has to cool before it will start the seat is comfortable for about an hour. It wouldn't hurt if my handle bars where 1-2 inch longer. Mine will launch put of the hole just as if not faster than a Milwaukee 8 but after 3rd gear they kinda fall on there face but 0-60 damn she's fun they will cut off around 96mph honesty you probably don't want to go any faster around here the roads are terrible

LOVE IT. great sized motor, glad its not the 1800cc monster. fuel injectors unlike the vtx of those years... its perfect. I just subscribed. looking forward to your content. So, did you buy that bike? i'm about to do an oil change. also, thoughts on tires? some ppl put a 240 tire on the back with the stock rims. just wondering.
It's my customer's bike. I have a bunch of videos on how to service them. I just do what he requests. The guy is super cool but we just stick with stock sizes/parts and he's happy. It's a great bike. Thanks for subscribing btw!
About it being a beginner bike , I seen alot say it's good beginner bike for Big guys. I'm about 6"1 300~ lbs, I just won't fit on a rebel 300 or something like that. I did sit on one and felt comfortable with the position although it did feel a bit heavy straddling it , but this was not moving. I did sit on a Vulcan S , I felt more comfortable with the weight, but thought it was maybe a little small (I do know you can change the positions on thes bikes but don't know where this one was) , are there any other cruisers that maybe have the seating of the Fury but more the weight of the Vulcan S ? Or would I be able to get used to the weight? Thanks for any help!
I definitely wouldn't consider this a beginner bike in the same way I wouldn't consider a truck a great beginner four wheeled vehicle. Sure, you could learn to drive, change lanes, and park in a truck, but it's going to be a lot easier to learn on something smaller for your first season riding, and upgrade to what you really want after that. I think if you pick the right first bike, it won't be your last bike, so you can get what you want later, but if you pick the wrong first bike, it could be your last bike. If comfort was the first priority of motorcycle riding, we would be in our four wheeled vehicles with temperature controls, plush seats, and protection from the weather. Vulcan S should have seats of different heights, so you might be able to get a thicker seat which would give you another 1" or more of seat height to help you stretch your legs. I can't remember for sure, but I think they also had peg and control adjustment options as well, so you could put your feet more forward to stretch out more as well. Find something okay for your size, you might look like a bear on a tricycle in the circus for your first season, and then you'll upgrade, and when you get the bike you really want it won't be all banged to heck because you made a beginner mistake on something that was too big and awkward, it'll look nice and fresh, and everyone will forget about the little thing you had before. Trust me, I started on a 50cc scooter lol
Ride aggressively. LOL that's funny on a Fury. But you would be very hard pressed to find a "chopper" that drives as good as the Honda. It really is that good. But your not going to win the race or get around the corner faster, you just look better while doing it. I Love mine, (even more after a few mods of course)
@@YouMotorcycle First thing I did was headlight. I want custom exhaust so not done yet. I scored the VN customs seat and it is at the painter now. Their shop caught fire and lost all molds, so no more available. I have plans for the radiator also. Love the bike. I have other bikes to go faster so not even worried about that. First Honda I've owned and I'm sold. Looking at Goldwings now. The Fury will stay though. 2012 Black non ABS.
I have a 2017 and learned how to ride on it. Many multiday 500km+ rides on this bike. I will buy another longer range bike, but I will keep the Fury. I have never read of anyone who has owned this bike and not absolutely loved it. Even multi bike owners. That says a lot.
@@YouMotorcycle Possibly, but i am pretty brand loyal. I think the next one will be a Goldwing. The new ones are pretty nice. I would miss the V-twin rumble though.
If you can make a video of how to bleed the hydraulic brakes and adjust them it would be useful to complement. I didn't notice that the traction is by belt or chain.
Hey Glaico! I'm planning on making a video for the brakes, coming in the next couple weeks. The final drive is shaft drive, nice, low maintenance, I like it. I'm making a video on how to change shaft drive fluid too :)
Hi, Between a fury and a Harley sportster let’s say 2007 to 2012 either 883 or 1200 which would you rather the Honda or the Harley? What is your personal preference. Thank you.
Hey Christina, I just realized that I never replied to your comment, but I hope you subscribed so that you would have seen that I made a video answering your question about the Sportster vs the Fury. YIf not, you can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/Ht4Jr-FHe9g/видео.html - I put it up back in March.
How about doing videos on upgrades. There are a lot of things you can do to these. Check out Low and Mean on you tube. These can be easily customized to any level and look really really good!!!
I have videos coming up on brake fluid change, oil and filter change, and shaft drive. It's not my bike, just working on it for a customer so I'm limited to what he wants to get done on the bike
With that wheel-base and road-height, how does it handle speed bumps? My city is busy putting speed bumps on everything, some of them quite high (lots of deep scoring left on the tops of them).
Around 7:20 in the video you'll see me go over two speed bumps no problems. I don't know how these compare to what's being installed in your city but you might want to take a look at that part.
I've never owned a motorcycle because the area I have lived my whole life is pretty dangerous for riding because of other drivers but I'm moving somewhere that it will be much safer, everything I've bought I've payed cash in hand for so I don't have much of a credit score and thought buying a bike would be a way to boost my credit even though I could buy the bike outright. I am dead set on a Honda Fury but I've heard many people say the same thing that it's a middle of the road for being beginner friendly and not. But should I really not buy it and get something smaller? I am 6 foot, 200 pounds if that matters but I don't really like the idea of having to pay around $7,000 for something that I don't want but if it's the difference between Destroying the bike/breaking my body, compared to not doing that I would rather be safe than sorry.
I would ask on financial help forums, but from my understanding, using your credit card for small purchases regularly (and then paying it in full right away) will do a lot more for your credit than making a solitary big ticket purchase. Again, finances are kind of out of my scope, but this is what I've always been told so it's what I go by. Personally I haven't bought a new vehicle in 13 years and don't plan on changing that any time soon. On to the main part of your question. I don't think this is a beginner friendly motorcycle at all. Much like you probably wouldn't want your first car to be a 24 seater bus. Why make things harder than it has to be? If you get the right first motorcycle, it'll be your first motorcycle. If you get the wrong first motorcycle, it could be your first and last motorcycle because you won't find riding as enjoyable as you otherwise might... or worse. Take your time, stay cautious, and keep asking questions and gathering information. I think you're off to a great start.
Both are winners. The only way you can lose is by trading in instead of selling your bike privately. The dealer will give you thousands less than what your Sportster is worth.
I was on the way to look at a 2011 street bob the day I bought my Fury. Having a shadow aero 750 prior and knowing the low maintenance and reliability of honda, it was no contest and I regret nothing. Not knocking the Harley, though. I really do like the street bob.
I think the Honda engineers built this bike, to compete in the category with the Yamaha Midnight, also with 1300 cm3. By the way very comfortable to travel alone. It is a little uncomfortable for the girlfriend or companion in that thin seat and with a thin foam layer at the end. With almost 57.5 horsepower and very good torque at low speed, 2250 rpm producing 1091 kilograms of force per centimeter, or from the center of the flywheel collars to the center of the connecting rod collars. Very good for cruising on long journeys, without straining the engine with a lot of economy I presume. The soft, pleasant snoring translates to good potency. Low barycenter, good balance. You can't overdo the curves. It was great to have gone for a walk. I thank you and wish you a happy passage to the next and very uncertain 2021. I could see that one of the companions, Mr. Skuf McGruff, prepared the engine with power to ride on the roads flying low with his 74.27 HP and 1184 kgf per centimeter. When he gets close, get out as soon as possible.
Because I have a passenger, I just purchased a better seat set. Makes it really comfortable for both driver and passenger. I also changed out the slip on pipes and air cleaner which made it lots quicker. I love my additions and would recommend them to anyone.
The cemetery is nearby and let's me see how the motorcycle handles because the roads are all curves and slopes, versus as you can see in the video most of the roads here are all in a grid. Straight lines only. Not very interesting.
Don't bother continuing to look for a problem until you start with basic maintenance. Old oil will do that. Even if not used, old oil will get moisture and other contaminants in it, and your bike won't shift as smoothly. Watch my video on how to change the oil and filter yourself. It shows you how to do it exactly as it says in the factory service manual. If that doesn't work, let me know, but 4 out of 5 times basic maintenance is the fix ruclips.net/video/lBVIx3BMT-E/видео.html
if honda modified the display they could easily have a tachometer on there and a gas gauge wouldn't hurt either that's my only gripe and that newer models only come in yellow id imagine once you got to know the bike you wouldn't need a tach,but still it wouldn't hurt. How is it for vision cause to me the seat looks low that i wouldn't be able to see over the handle bar and im 5'9 and i dont want to buy a bike where i cant see whats in front of me that's just asking for an early forever coffin sleep
The thing is, if they started adding a tacho, fuel gauge, etc. the whole point of a minimalist, wannabe chopper would be thrown out the window. In this category, less is more, except for in the styling and engine. Re: seeing ahead, unless your head is only 1 ft over your butt, you'll see just fine lol. Have a seat on one, you'll see.
@@YouMotorcycle no one where i live has 1 and im in canada so they arent sold in dealerships either otherwise i would. Didn't know it was suppose to be a "minimalist" chopper i see it more as honda being like "here's our chopper do you like it ? and if you like it you will also like the price"
@@fathertimencUSA yep. I'm sure Honda will do a good job at stocking parts for years to come. The fact there were no virtually no changes to the bike for ten years means that there will be good second hand parts available for a long time too.
The Fury was not meant to ride aggressively. It is a cruiser. To me a 2016 or older Honda Rebel 250 is a beginner friendly bike, and what all true beginners should be starting off on. I think all beginners should spend at least 2 years on a Rebel 250 type bike before going up to something bigger. I don't think ANYONE should ever get a crotch rocket for street use. Keep those on the track. While not very powerful, the Fury is simply to big and heavy for someone who has never ridden a motorcycle before. I have a 1989 Harley FXRS Low Rider, and am considering getting a Fury for longer distance riding. It's nowhere near as fun to ride as the Harley, because it lacks the Harley's feel and sound. But it should be more reliable out on the open road.
I agree with everything you said. But I have a friend who's 6'6" and has not fitting on a Rebel without developing a muscle spasm from being folded up like a pretzel 🥨 lol
Yes, it's a customer's bike getting some service done before being brought for storage, like I mentioned in the video. The cemetery is the only place in the city with no traffic. It's behind my house.
@@Tuesdaysgonewtw yeah. That's one way of looking at it. Not sure if speed was what I would after I would buy either of those bikes though lol. V-Rod might be a better example.
All the time, my dad, grand parents, and great grandparents are all in there, along with a friend of mine who was killed by an incel mowing people down in a minivan...
How silly! A "gentleman's chopper" is the very antithesis of what a chopper is supposed to be about. It is simply not in Honda's DNA to build anything like a "real" chopper, something both Yamaha's Star brand and Kawasaki came much closer to, before the whole chopper-mania thing died a well-deserved death, many years ago.
And yet here it is, and it continues to sell. For a while it looked like it was discontinued, but nope, you can still get 'em brand new. It's not for everyone, but neither is the price point or rawness of a custom made chopper... some people just want the "gentleman's chopper". Gotta live and let live.

I have videos coming up on brake fluid change, oil and filter change, and shaft drive. It's not my bike, just working on it for a customer so I'm limited to what he wants to get done on the bike
@@YouMotorcycle awesome and thanx!
With that wheel-base and road-height, how does it handle speed bumps? My city is busy putting speed bumps on everything, some of them quite high (lots of deep scoring left on the tops of them).
Around 7:20 in the video you'll see me go over two speed bumps no problems. I don't know how these compare to what's being installed in your city but you might want to take a look at that part.
I've never owned a motorcycle because the area I have lived my whole life is pretty dangerous for riding because of other drivers but I'm moving somewhere that it will be much safer, everything I've bought I've payed cash in hand for so I don't have much of a credit score and thought buying a bike would be a way to boost my credit even though I could buy the bike outright. I am dead set on a Honda Fury but I've heard many people say the same thing that it's a middle of the road for being beginner friendly and not. But should I really not buy it and get something smaller? I am 6 foot, 200 pounds if that matters but I don't really like the idea of having to pay around $7,000 for something that I don't want but if it's the difference between Destroying the bike/breaking my body, compared to not doing that I would rather be safe than sorry.
I would ask on financial help forums, but from my understanding, using your credit card for small purchases regularly (and then paying it in full right away) will do a lot more for your credit than making a solitary big ticket purchase. Again, finances are kind of out of my scope, but this is what I've always been told so it's what I go by. Personally I haven't bought a new vehicle in 13 years and don't plan on changing that any time soon.
On to the main part of your question. I don't think this is a beginner friendly motorcycle at all. Much like you probably wouldn't want your first car to be a 24 seater bus. Why make things harder than it has to be? If you get the right first motorcycle, it'll be your first motorcycle. If you get the wrong first motorcycle, it could be your first and last motorcycle because you won't find riding as enjoyable as you otherwise might... or worse.
Take your time, stay cautious, and keep asking questions and gathering information. I think you're off to a great start.
I wanna trade in my Sporty.....I was considering Street Bob, but now I'm having Fury thoughts..
Both are winners. The only way you can lose is by trading in instead of selling your bike privately. The dealer will give you thousands less than what your Sportster is worth.
I started with a Sportster 20 years ago. I love my Fury. I might get another harley one day, but it wont replace the Honda. Just sit next to it.
I was on the way to look at a 2011 street bob the day I bought my Fury. Having a shadow aero 750 prior and knowing the low maintenance and reliability of honda, it was no contest and I regret nothing. Not knocking the Harley, though. I really do like the street bob.
how you tell when you need to add gas..does it got a fuel gauge?
There's a low fuel light indicator next to the high beam indicator.
Have a 2012 blue. Only one complaint. Hot start issue. Solved by adding an additional 6 gauge battery ground cable. Problem gone!
I have an 05 vtx 1800 and have been looking at the fury for a month now.thinking about getting one soon
Great bikes. Would you keep the VTX1800 or downsize?
@@YouMotorcycle gotta keep the 1800 too hard to part with it.
I wish to have one coz my shadow getting old.
Would make a nice upgrade. The switch to fuel injection is good too!
Hi there buddy is there any way you can make a video on how to test the 3 safety switches on a Honda fury with a multimeter?thank you!
Hey sorry man, it's a customer's bike so I only touch the things he asks me to!
Good for tall guys?
I think so. I'm 5'11 and didn't feel cramped on it at all. How tall are you?
Why not recommend it as a first bike?
Same reason you don't recommend a big shiny new pickup truck as a first car.
Is this the same bike as we have in Canada. I think they called it the Sabre.
This is in Canada. The Sabre is a different model using the same motor
Well designed
Yeah sharp looking bike!
what would recommend as a first bike if not the fury?
Anything smaller, lighter, less powerful, and more forgiving. I would keep it under 750cc ideally.
@@YouMotorcycle thank you
All the leaves on the road gives me anxiety 😟
😂
I think the Honda engineers built this bike, to compete in the category with the Yamaha Midnight, also with 1300 cm3. By the way very comfortable to travel alone. It is a little uncomfortable for the girlfriend or companion in that thin seat and with a thin foam layer at the end. With almost 57.5 horsepower and very good torque at low speed, 2250 rpm producing 1091 kilograms of force per centimeter, or from the center of the flywheel collars to the center of the connecting rod collars. Very good for cruising on long journeys, without straining the engine with a lot of economy I presume. The soft, pleasant snoring translates to good potency. Low barycenter, good balance. You can't overdo the curves. It was great to have gone for a walk. I thank you and wish you a happy passage to the next and very uncertain 2021. I could see that one of the companions, Mr. Skuf McGruff, prepared the engine with power to ride on the roads flying low with his 74.27 HP and 1184 kgf per centimeter. When he gets close, get out as soon as possible.
I agree, also Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too :)
Because I have a passenger, I just purchased a better seat set. Makes it really comfortable for both driver and passenger. I also changed out the slip on pipes and air cleaner which made it lots quicker. I love my additions and would recommend them to anyone.
@@johnemmons9087 Brilliant John Emmons. Competence and pure water are very good for any rider. Keep it up! Happy 2021 with Fury!
@@johnemmons9087 those are great upgrades. I always go for air and fuel upgrades, then suspension next
@@YouMotorcycle I hear great things about getting the ecu reflashed. Do that.
Why through the Cemetery 😬
Are you scared?
The cemetery is nearby and let's me see how the motorcycle handles because the roads are all curves and slopes, versus as you can see in the video most of the roads here are all in a grid. Straight lines only. Not very interesting.
Nothing like a test drive through a cemetery.
Safest place to take a customer's bike!
Fenders/Tank still plastic...?
Fenders plastic, tank metal, like most japanese bikes.
I'm getting false neutral once and then on the 1st gear, anyone knows why?
Hey. When was the last time you changed the oil?
@@YouMotorcycle
Last year (Due for change), yet I only put 1500 miles on it.
Don't bother continuing to look for a problem until you start with basic maintenance. Old oil will do that. Even if not used, old oil will get moisture and other contaminants in it, and your bike won't shift as smoothly. Watch my video on how to change the oil and filter yourself. It shows you how to do it exactly as it says in the factory service manual. If that doesn't work, let me know, but 4 out of 5 times basic maintenance is the fix ruclips.net/video/lBVIx3BMT-E/видео.html
@@Layth_Albayaty and most important part, don't forget to hit the like and subscribe button on your way to making your Fury great again lol
@@YouMotorcycle
Of course kind sir!
I had a 16 and did not like the shaft drive. I think a belt would be more attractive. Sold it and went back to Harley.
I enjoy my belt drive Harley as well. Shaft drive is my second favorite.
I miss it occasionally it was a very nice ride.
@@Madcap500 liquid cooling is great and missing from most harleys. My V-Rod is liquid cooled and even that runs hot sometime
if honda modified the display they could easily have a tachometer on there and a gas gauge wouldn't hurt either that's my only gripe and that newer models only come in yellow id imagine once you got to know the bike you wouldn't need a tach,but still it wouldn't hurt. How is it for vision cause to me the seat looks low that i wouldn't be able to see over the handle bar and im 5'9 and i dont want to buy a bike where i cant see whats in front of me that's just asking for an early forever coffin sleep
The thing is, if they started adding a tacho, fuel gauge, etc. the whole point of a minimalist, wannabe chopper would be thrown out the window. In this category, less is more, except for in the styling and engine. Re: seeing ahead, unless your head is only 1 ft over your butt, you'll see just fine lol. Have a seat on one, you'll see.
@@YouMotorcycle no one where i live has 1 and im in canada so they arent sold in dealerships either otherwise i would. Didn't know it was suppose to be a "minimalist" chopper i see it more as honda being like "here's our chopper do you like it ? and if you like it you will also like the price"
@@eibbor171 ok... I'm in Canada. I see plenty 🤷🏻♂️
@@YouMotorcycle you must be in onturdio then lol never seen 1 in Sask or alberta
@@eibbor171 Yup. Toronto.
Good looking bike, but i cant get parts for this bike
Where are you located
They still make it.
@@fathertimencUSA discontinued in 2020. You can brand new 2020 models, but you can't get made in 2021 models.
@@YouMotorcycle Oh ok but still should be plenty of parts.
@@fathertimencUSA yep. I'm sure Honda will do a good job at stocking parts for years to come. The fact there were no virtually no changes to the bike for ten years means that there will be good second hand parts available for a long time too.
The Fury was not meant to ride aggressively. It is a cruiser. To me a 2016 or older Honda Rebel 250 is a beginner friendly bike, and what all true beginners should be starting off on. I think all beginners should spend at least 2 years on a Rebel 250 type bike before going up to something bigger. I don't think ANYONE should ever get a crotch rocket for street use. Keep those on the track. While not very powerful, the Fury is simply to big and heavy for someone who has never ridden a motorcycle before. I have a 1989 Harley FXRS Low Rider, and am considering getting a Fury for longer distance riding. It's nowhere near as fun to ride as the Harley, because it lacks the Harley's feel and sound. But it should be more reliable out on the open road.
I agree with everything you said. But I have a friend who's 6'6" and has not fitting on a Rebel without developing a muscle spasm from being folded up like a pretzel 🥨 lol
had her for 3 years its a city bike not for long rides..
Not my favorite to ride in the city tbh haha
Sexy looking bike
Agreed, looks sharp!
You try fury in cemetery 😂
Yes, it's a customer's bike getting some service done before being brought for storage, like I mentioned in the video. The cemetery is the only place in the city with no traffic. It's behind my house.
Test ride through a cemetery and some city / town streets isn't really a a test ride.
What is it then?
A start up and putt around town
@@YouMotorcycle
@@michaelcoleman3187 and when you go to the dealer and you take their bike for a putt around town what's that called?
⭐A TEST RIDE⭐
you feel better now?@@YouMotorcycle
Don't be bitter about a learning moment @@michaelcoleman3187
58HP what a joke.
Yeah. Luckily it makes 73 to 79 ft lb of torque so at least it accelerates quickly.
@@YouMotorcycle But it can't be any faster than a old style HD sportster 1200 and it costs more.
@@Tuesdaysgonewtw yeah. That's one way of looking at it. Not sure if speed was what I would after I would buy either of those bikes though lol. V-Rod might be a better example.
Torque more important then hp
Yup, you're right!
Where is the snow?)
Just filmed a video about my new truck cover that features a good half foot of snow. Stay tuned for that soon!
Doesn't anyone say a prayer for the Dead. Amen
All the time, my dad, grand parents, and great grandparents are all in there, along with a friend of mine who was killed by an incel mowing people down in a minivan...
@@YouMotorcycle sorry
How silly! A "gentleman's chopper" is the very antithesis of what a chopper is supposed to be about. It is simply not in Honda's DNA to build anything like a "real" chopper, something both Yamaha's Star brand and Kawasaki came much closer to, before the whole chopper-mania thing died a well-deserved death, many years ago.
And yet here it is, and it continues to sell. For a while it looked like it was discontinued, but nope, you can still get 'em brand new. It's not for everyone, but neither is the price point or rawness of a custom made chopper... some people just want the "gentleman's chopper". Gotta live and let live.
MY FIRST IMPRESSION WAS THE GRAVEYARD. where this vid belongs
So many flavors from all over the world and you chose salty huh? 🤣
That's a weird place to drive through
Welcome to the most densely populated city in the country. Anywhere else would have stop signs and red lights every block and no curves for miles and miles...
this sort of bike has NOT to be fast
Yes. Not what it's made for lol
You know you have camera on your helmet why you moving your head fast to left and right very bad video.
They're called shoulder checks, and I do the because safety is more important than people who complain about silly things on the internet 🤣
@@YouMotorcycle lol
