I would like to thank you so much for your excellent reviews and production quality. I watch several channels from all over the world and you, by a healthy margin are among the top! I always look forward to a new video and hope you produce many more. Thank you.
Just rode a new one a couple of days ago. March 2020. Ok, the front forks are now adjustable. Still got the torque key but. Very amusing. The new one is fantastic.
Another great review and awesome ending...had me laughing! Keep this up man, you are doing a fantastic job with the right amount of humor and technical content to keep people watching :)
Finally an objective review and not bought ad. I was wondering why I never see these with more then 5k miles on them for sale and this answers it for me.
Congrats on the review! I've watched a lot of these. This is the most well balanced and human-sounding one by far! It's informative, funny and fresh. Keep it up!
You can get heated handgrips as an option, BECAUSE I HAVE! Got three boxes of the unheated grips as well. Hitting the button activates a glyph on the info screen and there are two settings.
Great review. Is that Glenmore Hill down between Bacchus Marsh and Ballan - a short steep hill that averages about 20% gradient ? It definitely is right?
Thanks buddy! First time I went to Taiwan I nearly ended up in a pizza commercial. Well, I think it was a pizza commercial. The casting agents made me stand in a room saying "who's your daddy" repeatedly and looking as mean as I could into a camera. The culmination of one of the stranger 24 hour periods of my life really.
I have an R nine T, and have a torx kit underneath the seat. It is apr. 5x20x2 cm in size, and could use it almost everywhere on the bike ( I dont cary t55, and t60), altough I have never ever needed neither of it. ( 2years and 16.000km). So much about roadside repairs, and conventional bolts... torx bolts all day! You are right with the seat though.
thank u so much for the detailed review, I love this bike more than the r1200r but the seat issue got me worried, I don't want a airhawk pad on it, what else can I do. I ride generally calm around 75 to 200 miles tops, ergos are perfect, seat height, power, brakes ,ect but the seat really has me wondering (r1200r just for the seat?)
loved this review, and laughed so hard!! Will you be doing a review of the BMW Scrambler, whenever it finally comes out? Very interested in that bike. Subbed.
I am kinda glad they used torx. and the reason for that is, that the head can not get damaged over using it often over time, unlike the normal one :) But overall I like ur review.
Brilliant review, beautifully done up, a great effort all round! If Top Gear was into reviewing bikes, I'm sure you would have given them a run for the money :) Keep up the great work champ.
Hi gizmag, can you kindly advise me where I can obtain the 'spoke sealing kit' featured @ 4.07 in this vid please? I've searched the net but couldn't find it. Many Thanks, Gambo916
That's a great review, big thumbs up for the humor element.Grew up in 4 wheeler BM's. The seats in their cars were so hard.Nothin's changed I see. Will test British first, won't tell Dad though........
Nice honest review, too many journos are scared to tell the truth, flaws and all, bit like The Emperor's New Clothes, very refreshing !!! Hate the Gold Forks and it could do with an exhaust pipe on either side for the symmetry and that true retro look !!! Get a Moto-Guzzi V7 Stone and put some spoked wheels off the Racer version and a single Café Racer seat from the previous Café Classic version and you're 8/10ths there and still have money in your pocket until these come down into the second hand market ?? !! Or get a second generation 2014 Ducati Diavel whilst you wait and don't follow the Fashion Herd !!!
I'm with Dr B, Monster 1200s now please :D BTW your reviews are what I wait for when I buy a bike LOL last one was the S1000RR, I'm thinking you should get some kind of kickback from them
Best review of this bike on youtube. I like how much exposure and thorough details in your review. Good job. However after this review i probably wont get this machine. I feel I slightly misaligned with the community this bike addresses. s1000r on other hand...
Well I've ridden a couple, and I put them in the same category as the CB1300 and the GSX1400: too big, too heavy for my tastes. They can be made to handle, but you're always going to be working hard to overcome that huge mass. I'm sure people say the same thing about me.
looks like a top bike to run into town on via the putty for a cruisey corner or 2... but that seat looks like shit. my sack is just worth too much to me to put it through that kind of torture! haha. Nice review, I see huge potential in your clips, I might even watch a couple more now. cheers.
So the average rider fixes punctures at the side of the road and gives a toss about what kind of bolts are used? Methinks not. The average rider calls the fucking AA and leaves a shop to work on the bike.
+lyrasimo It's not mega powerful like a liter sports bike, so you'd probably be alright, but it's kinda heavy for a first bike. There's a very good chance you'll drop your first bike at least once, and this will be somewhat pricey to repair. Up to you whether you want to take that risk. Personally I think the best way is to get a second hand dirt/dual purpose bikes or a cheap naked like an SV650 for a few months or a year.
Notice the just (25 Oct 2020) announced 2021 R9T has an optional tubeless spoked wheelset...and more of the electrickery from other bikes like the s1000r. No sign if they have found Private Johnson...
Another amazing review, always informative and always funny. Killer combination thumbs up for one of the best reviewers on the net.
I hope Loz gets paid well for this, because I love his reviews :D
YOU TELL EM KENNY :P

Again, another FUN video Loz!
I have ridden an R9T and it's one of my favorite retro bikes.
Thanks, for not sounding like a corporate shill. And, having a great sense of humor.
One of the coolest motor reviews I've watched ever :)))
Thumbs up!
Another great review and awesome ending...had me laughing! Keep this up man, you are doing a fantastic job with the right amount of humor and technical content to keep people watching :)

Great video! 3 months in to my waiting period and just 3 months to go! Until then I'll keep cruising youtube for videos of this bike!
Best motorcycle reviews on the planet. Keep up the great job.
Love this review.... Bought one yesterday based on this review... loving it. Thank you very much.
You can get heated handgrips as an option, BECAUSE I HAVE! Got three boxes of the unheated grips as well. Hitting the button activates a glyph on the info screen and there are two settings.
Beautiful shots (from the full article). Just wish they could be in a larger format so I can save it as my wallpaper forever!
Beautiful, informative and absolutely true review. I know that because I own one of these. Thumbs up!
Great review. Is that Glenmore Hill down between Bacchus Marsh and Ballan - a short steep hill that averages about 20% gradient ? It definitely is right?
Can't argue with Papa Blain's logic... lol :P Awesome vid as always guys!
That is one of the nicest looking modern bikes.
Great review, probably one of the best I've watched.
Nice review, looks to be a great bike. Hope I can have a ride on one next year.
best review i’ve ever seen!!! greetings all the way from asia taiwan.
Thanks buddy! First time I went to Taiwan I nearly ended up in a pizza commercial. Well, I think it was a pizza commercial. The casting agents made me stand in a room saying "who's your daddy" repeatedly and looking as mean as I could into a camera. The culmination of one of the stranger 24 hour periods of my life really.
Haha~that was interesting!!!
I believe you have a lot of stories to tell.
Any idea if this ended up airing?
Great reviews...you're a funny guy. Like the cameo from your Dad.
Excellent review with a good balance of humour and information. More Pls
Excellent review. =) I like your style of presentation.
I have an R nine T, and have a torx kit underneath the seat. It is apr. 5x20x2 cm in size, and could use it almost everywhere on the bike ( I dont cary t55, and t60), altough I have never ever needed neither of it. ( 2years and 16.000km). So much about roadside repairs, and conventional bolts... torx bolts all day! You are right with the seat though.
You need to do more bike reviews!!

Really nice review. With humour as well.
excellent review mate
Great review. I was torn between the R Nine T and the new CB1100. Wound up getting the Honda.
Love your work Loz, Dads a champ too
Haha indeed, Dad's a legend. :)
Thanks for the great review. My home town, too! Onwards!
Just discovered your page. Really cool!
Is it the dorsal penal nerve? That's my least favorite nerve to be compressed.
I'm not a doctor, I just know that bit's not supposed to have pins and needles.
Great video as always
loved this review, and laughed so hard!! Will you be doing a review of the BMW Scrambler, whenever it finally comes out? Very interested in that bike. Subbed.
Great review, and a great sense of humor.
I am kinda glad they used torx. and the reason for that is, that the head can not get damaged over using it often over time, unlike the normal one :)
But overall I like ur review.
Awesome review !
Mate, I really enjoyed your presentation. Subscribed.
Deep , rich and gorgeous sounds like my compost heap 😂🇬🇧🏍❤️
Best review I’ve seen on this bike the little things that can be a pain in the ass.
Just wondering could you do a review on the FZ6R for us LAMS girls please?
Brilliant review, beautifully done up, a great effort all round! If Top Gear was into reviewing bikes, I'm sure you would have given them a run for the money :) Keep up the great work champ.
Top gear don't review cars, they just piss about with old pieces of shit wasting shit loads of tax payers money.
Gary Mckenna hahaha! True dat, but I still enjoy their cheesy reviews :p
Good, entertaining review! What kind of helmet were you wearing on the video and how do you like it?
+Joe Black that's a Nolan N104. They're heavy, noisy and ugly, but I love them to bits and I'm on my fourth one. :)
Whats the r9t like on long road trips ?
awesome review! much appreciated
Hi gizmag, can you kindly advise me where I can obtain the 'spoke sealing kit' featured @ 4.07 in this vid please?
I've searched the net but couldn't find it.
Many Thanks, Gambo916
Great review, your videos are quality made. This bike is amazing and you CAN get heated hand grips, I have it.
Loved the review! Thanks for sharing
Love the reviews, just subbed.
Brilliant writing!
How does this compare to the Triumph T120 Black?
Well done mate.
Really nice review
an awesome summary by the way....
Great review
Boss review...I have "Bobbed" mine still unsure if I like it...
That's a great review, big thumbs up for the humor element.Grew up in 4 wheeler BM's. The seats in their cars were so hard.Nothin's changed I see. Will test British first, won't tell Dad though........
Really enjoyed this review on one of my favourite bikes, Thanks
Great review, really great!
Loved this review!

Great video.
Great review, thanks for speaking slow and clear so us Yanks can understand you,
Awesome review! Thank you so much!!
Brilliant reviewer
Is this bike a good fit for a 5'6ft rider? Not sure if I'm too short...
I think it might be good for you. Go try it out!
Andres Arana Fits perfectly! :D
Andres Arana Check out this website to help with fitments. > cycle-ergo.com
I’ve rewatched this several times over the years and each time my chuckling gets me a rather worried look from my poor dear wife.
Dude that was awesome, great vid. Thanks.
Great info and funny video! love it
excellent review!, thanks.
agreed
thoroughly enjoyable review,,, hit all the right buttons,,, well done , ;}
good review
Nicely done!!
epic ending. great review. exactly as i suspected, the engine and drive train are its short comings for me
I'm with Dr B, Monster 1200s now please :D
BTW your reviews are what I wait for when I buy a bike LOL last one was the S1000RR, I'm thinking you should get some kind of kickback from them
thanks pops
Hi Loz, please scrub that last request, as I've just found a link in your online review of the R nineT. Thanks anyway,
atb, Gambo916
lots missings come with the scrambler but then we lose the suspension brakes and dash😣
I find this reviewer from down under hilarious.. can you please review the BMW
R1200R?
they use akrapovic for the stock exhaust,like The Akrapovic
Really nice review, thanks, mate! ;-)
Best review of this bike on youtube. I like how much exposure and thorough details in your review. Good job.
However after this review i probably wont get this machine. I feel I slightly misaligned with the community this bike addresses.
s1000r on other hand...
Can you review an XJR1300 please
Well I've ridden a couple, and I put them in the same category as the CB1300 and the GSX1400: too big, too heavy for my tastes. They can be made to handle, but you're always going to be working hard to overcome that huge mass. I'm sure people say the same thing about me.
heat grips are an option!

5:00 LMFAO
What does your dad say about the bike? I couldn't understand it?
Gotcha! Thanks for that, love your review videos, they seemed to be aimed towards the average rider, which is very useful to me, as an average rider!
Your Dad is better looking than you. :)
So the average rider fixes punctures at the side of the road and gives a toss about what kind of bolts are used? Methinks not. The average rider calls the fucking AA and leaves a shop to work on the bike.
There are plenty of places, like Putty Rd, where no mobile coverage - so you need to be a bit self sufficient.
Pick mine up in March 2015.......
😁. Loving it. Subscribed!
Brilliant.
this is good for a " first bike " ?
+lyrasimo It's not mega powerful like a liter sports bike, so you'd probably be alright, but it's kinda heavy for a first bike. There's a very good chance you'll drop your first bike at least once, and this will be somewhat pricey to repair. Up to you whether you want to take that risk. Personally I think the best way is to get a second hand dirt/dual purpose bikes or a cheap naked like an SV650 for a few months or a year.
since then, you can get heated handgrips :)
top review
what a great review. plus, you're hilarious.
Thks
Keep 'em coming :)
Roger that. Currently have an MT-09 in my care. Heeheehee. Heeheeheehee.
gizmag you guy's do the most entertaining and best reviews on the tinternet
mintpaul Cheers, we do our best! Help us out and spread the word!
Yeah, I always post your vids on the bike forums.
The yanks loved your 1000r vid and a couple of them changed their order to white :)
Awesome, thanks! Yeah the white is definitely the go. Blue in particular looks rubbish.
Notice the just (25 Oct 2020) announced 2021 R9T has an optional tubeless spoked wheelset...and more of the electrickery from other bikes like the s1000r. No sign if they have found Private Johnson...
good tricks yeah
