Watching this brings back memories of being a London despatch rider in the 80’s. No Bike Shed to warm up in then, just cuppa tea in an Old Street Cafe. Shoreditch was a different place back then. Great to see a real life test in real life conditions! Nice video👌
OMG.... I really never thought I would EVER see my very best and absolutely NUMBER ONE biker content creators, standing and talking, next to each other in the SAME video!! Am I dreaming? Pinch me someone! I think all the rest of my Christmas's have come together all at once..., i'm over the moon and sporting a gigantic smile across my face 🥰.
Nice! I too love the sound of Honda 650! Such a comforting humming sound. Braving the rain, and in London traffic. That's my world but it's worth it. Thanks for explaining the e clutch. Gonna have to get my head around it, my clutch is an old friend I don't want to leave.
I just like seeing my gorgeous and understated CB650 inline with its smooth as silk inline-4 hilited in a video! I don't know if I could ever part with it.
i just got my license yesterday, the school had one of these (an earlier model tho) as one of the practice bikes. The only complaint i had (as a noob) is that the gas was very sensitive compared to all the other bikes the school had, so it was challenging to get accustomed to it, but i had no issues with it at the exam, so i guess it becomes a non-issue for experienced riders.
Congrats! The throttle is a feature, not a bug. Takes some time to learn how to use it well, but it feels great once you do. Crisp and precise, pure joy for the technical rider 😉 You get that with all cable throttles, by the way. Not just this one. I did my DAS on a 2019 MT-07, it was exactly the same. Your 125 probably had one too, but since they have no power you get away with a lot. This thing has decent chooch factor, so a little bit of throttle opening does a lot more. Sadly most new bikes (especially the more powerful ones) have ride by wire, which comes with a bunch of artificial smoothing (to take care of any rough inputs). A lot or people see this as more rideable, but imho it sacrifices too much of that crisp precise feel to achieve it. I've also heard the one on the Yamaha Tracer 900 described as an on/off switch, so no guarantee that a computer between your right hand and the throttle shaft is going to make it easier to ride 🤔
Loved this diamante , your a real gem , you got soaked for absolutely miles but still alwsys keep positive....fantastic....take care always sweet lady...lee down in the west country ❤❤
As soon as my fingers get wet in autumn and spring, my Raynauds kicks in... with you as well? So you were in lovely Sussex, where I grew up before emmigrating, try to get to the Bury Hill Biker meet up, at the Whiteways Cafe on the A29, Pulborough - Arundel, on a Sunday or Wednesday. Well worth the visit for the huge number of various bikes from the 50s to today. They also do group Ride outs, but I think that's not your cup of tea.
Hey you were 15 mins from me and no message😉 (I often do a ride to Windsor) P.s its a niceish journey Windsor to Brighton. Nicer in summer of course with the rape fields...
Why is it so that those little rubber caps on the end of the mirror stem, always creep up on Hondas? Mine too. You'd think that if they can develop technology like an e-clutch, a rubber cap that stays in place should be a breeze. 😅
@ , and it is better than in London?) By the way, we have visited Ho-Chi-Min city several weeks ago and it is much more worth than in Bangkok, in view of the number of scooters on the roads… After such countries any road traffic in UK or US looks as “nobody on the road”. 😅
British collective farm. faces like from Oklahoma. I want to marry a British woman. At first I liked your coins. After your story. And I really like British girls ❤
Ok… it only goes 40ish😄 mph or is it worse kph … I am fed up… No1 thing on list 🦄 is drivers going 2 kph. Sorry in French … ruclips.net/video/PyH0-gMxlFE/видео.html
Loved riding with you so much!!! Great video!!

Wow! Two of my favorites together! USERNAMEKATE & TOMBOY A BIT! 😍😍😍

Nice skills in the traffic and the rain. Long time since I rode a bike round the capital. Well done Diemante 🤓💖
Riding in the rain and Deimante brings her own sunshine with her.
Even a cameo appearance by Kate.

@@SM-xq6wb thanks ! :)
A friend of mine used to say he loved when it rained. Less tyre wear!
Haha “It hasn’t skipped a beat” You know someone’s command of a language is good when they start using slang👏👏
Now if that were an original with a Kerker pipe! Looks like the weather cooperated. :)

Dee that looked like pure punishment ,so glad I dont do that any more , not fun at all , your so brave ,great video as always 🙏
Hi I was a motorbike courier in the 80 and 90's a 1k miles in a good week! 40p a mile.!😂

Le meilleur test pour une moto, c’est sous la pluie
@@A-RA-N meulleur avec soliel toujours😉. La derniere ete etait mal.
Great vid but gosh where has all the central London traffic gone. I used to be a DR back in the 80's and it was choko then
I do 100 miles twice a week in and out of London in ask weathers. This is very normal.
A noticeable reduced number of tourists in the rain.. has some advantages
Nice review and a nice bike❤🌹
Don't you just love the British weather!!!!
Nope, why I reside in Australia
Come to Athens, Greece. Sunshine 300 days / year...🎉
Honda made a twist & go scooter with a real gearbox. Should be great around town 😁
Reaching for that clutch at 1:33
How do you know there's a bunch of bikers in the pub? There's one table full of people and one table full of helmets.
And they’re all drinking coffee. In the eighties it was large bottles of Guinness.
Just live around the corner from Windsor? You could have popped in for coffee? Lol 😂
I thought you were a Chelsea boy?
@@mauriceridesout yes always but moved about now nearer Windsor
@@johnterry804 Duke of Edinburgh pub is a Chelsea supporters pub nr Ascot😉
P s prob one in Windsor maybe. If you are into your footy.

If you think that it is a traffic, welcome to Bangkok or even to Bali))
I was riding in Bangkok 😏

Cannot wait.,, hot bike. ❤ ❤❤❤
