After warching your videos over and over durint the past years, I finally got my A license, and just took home a 1998 CB500. Thank you for the inspiration man, I'm crying tears of joy right now.
For me this is what riding is all about. I have a Cbf500, she may not be the fastest, she may not be the most beautifull, but she is mine, and that's all that matters. Cheers to you mate, ride safe.
You are one of the guys that convinced me that the bike is not ***that*** important. After setting eyes on a CB500 i soon found a good deal on her sister from another mother, the Kawasaki ER-5. What is important however is to ride the bike in beautifull and inspiring places. Thanks for that.
Oh man, this video brings back some memories. I got my first "big bike" in July of 2013, probably a few days before you posted this video. It was a 99 CB 500 "sport" and you definitely influenced that purchase. Almost 10 years have passed and my Honda is long gone, no idea how many owner it had since then and if it's still on the road. But you still have yours, and that's impressive. I don't see the CB 500 in the same way that I did back then. It used to be a competent but cheap beginner bike. Now I see it as a classic with quite a reputation. So thanks for the memories Schaaf, it was a good flashback.
I sold my CB500 in 1999 (with 80K km). Looking at your videos, I deeply regret it... I never had so much fun than with this bike: a light frame, narrow wheels and a funny engine, that'all what motorbike is about. Thanks for your videos. I'm starting right now to look for a second-hand CB500 !!
Just bought a 1994 CB500 going to pick it up tomorrow. I came on youtube to what I could expect, and to see what people think of them. WOW your looks like a great bike and lots of fun. Hope mine is half as good as your. Andy
Doing a Walkaround on an old CB 500 is super-classy, thanks man! I just love how all these motovloggers nowadays ride the all new bikes, and brag about their newest supersport litre bikes, but they can't even ride the things! ;D You'd probably smoke'em any day on a curvy road! The editing is also brilliant.
thanks, man! The rotating timelapse is done with a GoPro sticked to an eggtimer and the slowly moving ones are slightly zoomed-in and "moved across" with my editing software! :)
every aftermarket exhaust on the CB500 is going to give you the wonderful backfire! Even the stock one, if you push her really hard. But besides from that the stock one basically makes the bike sound like an electric sewing machine ;) Thanks for the nice words! Good luck with finding a lovely CB, you certainly won't regret it - just like traveling to Austria! ;)
Well, on the CB500 it's definitely worth its money - although the rear suspension 's a lot more important and it certainly brings much more improvement than just changing the fork springs. I switched the rear susp. first and the difference was huge. Then I added Wilbers at the front and I didn't notice much change. Well, a little bit maybe :)
+Schaaf, do you remember how much it cost to paint your CB in your country? And also, the colour you used is Matte or Satin? Because it reflects some light.
Incredibile video. Questo dimostra quanto amore si possa provare anche per la moto più sfigata... Che non debba per forza essere una moto da 20.000€, oppure debba essere moderna e sofisticata per saper dare delle emozioni. Bravo, bel video
This is by far the best walk-around video o the internet. You brought the production level to a new level! In my opinion the video should have ended where the music did, but that's not my choice. ..
+mightlife I meant it in a way that it's not the U.S. motovlogger's fault that there are people out there "simple" enough to enjoy their repetitive and uninspired crap content^^
Oh i do love this video. If i feel a bit wound up i watch this and it all drains away until i'm calm again. I think it's the combination of music (calm and laid back), bike (i do love the iconic CB500) and imagery (that's you on the bike arms outstretched 12:04 to 12:14) and there i am pleasantly chilled and ready to listen, eye's closed and calm.
+Jeremy Markham Absoultely agree. The imagery with the music and the outstretched arms simply gives me the chills. Like this is his life and world. And its beautiful. Great work schaaf.
danke, Walter! Ich hab meine damals über eine Sammelbestellung in einem CB500 Forum bekommen und hab ein bisschen mehr als 300€ gezahlt. Derzeit gibt's die günstigsten Angebote glaub ich auf eBay! Ich hab meine mittelstark vorgespannt und die Zugstufe auf 3 von 4!!
Ah ok, ja stimmt, wenn man drauf achtet fällt einem auf dass man nie den ganzen Helm richtig sieht. Das Video ist soo gut, ich gucks mir schon zum 5ten mal an. SOWAS braucht RUclips, respekt.
thank you very much! You are certainly the right one to judge my video skills because you were subscribed to my channel from the very beginning :))) - and concerning my handlebars: It's a pity that I can't tell you the name of this exact model. I bought the CB with them already installed and there's no name or type to be found anywhere on the handlebars :( A pity because they definitely improve the handling, the CB gets even easier to handle with these!!
Ein erstklassiges Video! Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass man mir eine CB500 so schmackhaft machen kann! Wenn ich die nötigen Skills hätte, würde ich mir auch sofort so einen Walkaround basteln...
+Schaaf wie viel Zeit hat denn das filmen gedauert? Also jetzt rein von den Szenen. wo das Bike vorgestellt wird? Und eine Setup-liste wäre toll (Kamer, Stativ, ähnliches!)
+Team Kochertal Die Zeitraffer-Aufnahmen hab' ich in einer Stunde erledigt, gemacht mit einer alten Canon 400D und 28mm/1.8 Optik. Die Aufnahmen vom Moped stehend und in der Kurve waren in weniger als einer Stunde erledigt. Gemacht mit Canon 7D und 15-85mm Kitobjektiv. Stativ besitze ich ein kaputtes uralt-Teil von SLIK. Für die GoPro Sachen war ich, wegen der Location, sicher 3h unterwegs. Gefilmt wurde aber nicht länger als 15 Minuten.
I had to ride the CB500F and CB600F in driving school. Very decent bikes but the old CB has much more character and a thinner rear tire. Makes a huge difference when it comes to easy handling :)
You know what i like about your bike? The fact that it's old and cheap. It means that you could have fun with just a little and don't need to have a 20,000 Euro bike to enjoy life. I don't know if this is your message to your viewers but it's at least what i get from your videos :)
+ehsan83 it would be if I'd actually choose to ride a bike like this. But I'm only riding the old CB because I can't afford anything else :) But it's still true that you CAN have tons of fun on a 1000€ bike :)
+Schaaf This is what i'm saying. Even if you have the money to get a better one, sometimes you enjoy so much your actual ride, you have so many good memories with it that you don't wanna change it. For example me i have the money to buy a good one now but i can't because of some personal issue. When i see your videos i wish i could have your old bike to go for a ride. Enjoy your bike and ride safe. oh and before i forget : change your rear tire ! ;)
thank you very much! Unfortunately, that's a rather tough question for me. I never learned editing. I'm just playing around with editing software for almost 7 years now. I learned everything through trial & error. The only recommendation which I can give you is to get a decent editing software right from the start (Final Cut on Mac or Adobe Premiere on Windows) and watch yourself through the most basic editing tutorials here on RUclips. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask!
I still have CB500V ('97). It's my 1st bike, got it in '05 in mint condition for about 2k €. I still drive it sometimes and i have to say compared to "modern" bikes it's much better to drive, at least for me. Also have '08 Hornet (which i drive now) and it feels very similar to cb500
Great video. Would like to have something like that about my bike. It is nice to see, how much somebody loves and cares about a budget commuter bike like the CB 500 which lasts forever...
definitiv - aber wenn du deine 125ger schon komplett ausgereizt hast und richtig gut unterwegs bist, dann kannst du dir vl. auch schon was größeres oder stärkeres holen. Leistungstechnisch ist die CB sehr schnell ausgereizt. Mir macht sie halt trotzdem Spaß, weil ich ihr ohne große Furcht absolut den Rest geben kann und weil ich mir nix anderes leisten kann ;)
Danke für die Tips!!! Ich hab mir jetzt auch Wilbers Federn und IKON Dämpfer bestellt,..War nicht günstig aber so wie es in deinen Videos den Anschein macht, wird es sich richtig lohnen :D Ich bin schon echt gespannt wie sich meine CB damit fährt.
thanks! Your CB looks very good, I like the color combination of the blue and the color of the rims! And yea, changing the rear shocks makes a big difference, changing the front only a little bit!
Hi man! I just watched some of your videos here in Italy and then I came here curious to see your bike. It's good to see you passion for riding and also a little not-so-new bike run with all-digital-full-powered-new bikes. As I always say the real difference is in the wirst :) I like your guide style and seeing this video I think you really need metal brided brake lines to have amore incisive braking and most important less brake fading. It's a relative cheap modification but it could improve your cornering speed in a really drastic way.
I'm using the stock ones. I could go for "sporty" aftermarket footpegs which won't scrape that easy and early but I somehow like it how it is right now. As soon as they start scraping I know that my leaning angle's pretty decent but still safe enough. I don't really dare going any further though - although it's certainly possible to do so!
thanks, man! A bike in this size range would certainly be a decent choice for your next move - powerful enough to give you "that motorcycle feel" but not too much power to immediately get yourself into trouble ;)
danke dir! :) Bei mir wirds dieses Jahr zu nicht mehr all zu viel Action kommen, außer vl. ein paar Videotests für und mit meinen Kumpels. Hab momentan sehr viel andere Dinge im Kopf herumschwirren, leider... Aber spätestens nächstes Jahr wird's hoffentlich viel besser. Wobei ich fast nur mehr in geschlossenen Gruppen unterwegs bin. Aber falls ich mal nen Tag alleine losziehen sollte, dann melde ich mich!
oh no! :) I get what you are saying. I always had the most fun on lightweight and agile bikes, just like the CB. I'm just curious if I'll ever change my opinion when I get older.
Hast du deine Maschine foliert oder lackiert ? Das schaut ja nicht gerade nach einer Standardfarbe aus ;) Und was hast du da circa für bezahlt ? Grüßle !
Nice bike, and nice camera work. You are blessed with some beautiful roads. Took my KTM 690ER our today for some 50/50 dirt/street north of Houston today. Hoping Yamaha will be announcing the XSR700 for the US sometime in May or June....before I lose my patience and hunt down a deal on a '16 XSR900 in that awesome anniversary yellow. You appear to have some talent. Have you ever worked with an instructor on track? I tracked cars for a few years. Always a hoot to watch the good drivers in a $5K NA Miata knocking for a point by 2 turns past the main straight, behind some dude in his new Vette or Viper. Ride safe.
thanks a lot for the nice comment! I Unfortunately can't afford to go to the track and only have done one supermoto training on a kart track so far. But maybe this season I'll find a good opportunity.
That's life. I was once a broke student myself, and could barely afford a beater car. Since then, I've been blessed to own and track some nice sports cars-S2000 CR, NC Miata, FRS (GT86). I can tell you that the same David and Goliath dynamic you speak of exists there for cars as well. The guy in the $80K 600 hp car is often pissed when 2 turns off the straight, the $5K 100hp NA Miata with a skilled driver at the wheel is on his tail for a point by. It's always there when you have a mix of different machines and skill levels. ;)
sweet bike my man , your agressive riding make me cringe my feet and still wanting more ,and when im not riding your vids are waty to short ha ha ha stay safe bro !!
I have mine (1994) for 2 years...candy red..delkvic exhaust...lovely sound...is it a big bike..? I dont know, but l smile from ear to ear every time ride her..and she can go alm day long, and she can keep up with most other's..true classic..!!
Props from the US, man! Nice looking bike. I'm thinking of getting a similar sized/priced bike as my first real motorcycle, even though we don't have any power restrictions here! I've outgrown my aprilia scarabeo 150 after riding it for 3 years haha
What I'm saying is the music part was awesome. Like most of your "music videos" it is tuned finely to the rhythm perfect choice of music. ...by the way if I had a CB500 with a Leo Vince on it I'd probably want the rest of the world to hear it 's well.
Another great 'upgrade': a can of heatresistant paint. ±$20 a can, and your header pipes will look as new. Anyway, I love this video. It shows that you don't need an expensive new bike to have fun and sound/look great. Nice editing skills!
Wie immer grandios geschnitten, wunderschöne Aufnahmen :) Ich glaub es wird zeit für mich meine Federbeine zu tauschen wenn der Unterschied wirklich so gewaltig ist.. Weißt du wo man die IKON am günstigsten bekommt ? und auf welcher Stufe hast du sie eingestellt ? lg Walter
thank you! Getting back on the bike always sounds like a good idea :) What's wrong with your front brake though? Cause I might have some technical 'issues' with my front brake as well but I'm not 100% sure whether it's the brake disc or the brake caliper which is causing some problems.
Feines Bike! Deine Videos sind mal wieder der Beweis, das Spaß am biken nichts mit Leistung zu tun hat. Btw. dein Krümmer könnte mal etwas Pflege vertragen (z.B. Autosol Anti-Blau). Ein SV650 Treiber
Anti-Blau ist für Edelstahl. Das sind aber schwarz lackierte (brünierte?) Krümmer, die mit der Zeit braun werden. Ich hab meine abmontiert, abgeschliffen und neu lackiert. Is net viel Aufwand, hab den Topf (original) gleich mitlackiert, was beim Edelstahl Leo net so supi wär
LOOOOL ich habe die BT45 auch und in den Foren wird immer behauptet, dass die Evo T30 oder T31 so viel besser und sicherer wären aber wenn ich sehe, was du mit den BT45 machst, kann das ja wohl nur ein Witz sein, was die da schreiben. Und das Video ist gut geschnitten. Gefällt mir.
Für deine CB500 ist es eine andere Geschichte, aber für meine Honda NTV sind die BT023, T30 und T31 freigegeben. Die hat hinten glaube ich 150 anstatt deine 130.
Klar, dass du nicht zum fahren kommst wenn du die ganze zeit videos bearbeiten musst!!! ^^ super gemacht, macht lust auch bei der hitze ins gwandl zu steigen =P

yes indeed! Thanks a lot mate! Speed safe!
You are one of the guys that convinced me that the bike is not ***that*** important.
After setting eyes on a CB500 i soon found a good deal on her sister from another mother, the Kawasaki ER-5.
What is important however is to ride the bike in beautifull and inspiring places.
Thanks for that.
you got that right!! Congrats on the ER-5!!
tusk tsuk, typical biker, spends all his money on mods :) where would these bike accessory companies by without us.
Wow, 2 seniors here XD
Oh man, this video brings back some memories. I got my first "big bike" in July of 2013, probably a few days before you posted this video. It was a 99 CB 500 "sport" and you definitely influenced that purchase. Almost 10 years have passed and my Honda is long gone, no idea how many owner it had since then and if it's still on the road. But you still have yours, and that's impressive.
I don't see the CB 500 in the same way that I did back then. It used to be a competent but cheap beginner bike. Now I see it as a classic with quite a reputation.
So thanks for the memories Schaaf, it was a good flashback.
I watched all your videos. I bought a cb500 as a first bike because of you and i'm loving every minute of it!
Well done!
I sold my CB500 in 1999 (with 80K km). Looking at your videos, I deeply regret it...
I never had so much fun than with this bike: a light frame, narrow wheels and a funny engine, that'all what motorbike is about.
Thanks for your videos. I'm starting right now to look for a second-hand CB500 !!
+struklette true that! In 2-3 years from now I'll get something else. But I'll always keep a CB500 round the house :)
Shit man, riding like boss, editing like a king. Well deserved subscription.
thanks again! I really appreciate the sub!!
Just bought a 1994 CB500 going to pick it up tomorrow. I came on youtube to what I could expect, and to see what people think of them. WOW your looks like a great bike and lots of fun. Hope mine is half as good as your. Andy
thanks! Yours will be fun to, promised! ;)
That's some professional editing right there, i guess i found what you're studying!
+Hatagashira indeed. Although I didn't learn anything of use for videos like that back at university...
Doing a Walkaround on an old CB 500 is super-classy, thanks man!
I just love how all these motovloggers nowadays ride the all new bikes, and brag about their newest supersport litre bikes,
but they can't even ride the things! ;D You'd probably smoke'em any day on a curvy road!
The editing is also brilliant.
thanks a lot!
thanks, man! The rotating timelapse is done with a GoPro sticked to an eggtimer and the slowly moving ones are slightly zoomed-in and "moved across" with my editing software! :)
danke! Im Laufe der Zeit haben mich doch immer wieder Leute nach einem "Walkaround" Video gefragt. Ich hoffe, die sind jetzt zufrieden ;)
Nice and pretty clean bike. Doesnt looks that old !
every aftermarket exhaust on the CB500 is going to give you the wonderful backfire! Even the stock one, if you push her really hard. But besides from that the stock one basically makes the bike sound like an electric sewing machine ;) Thanks for the nice words! Good luck with finding a lovely CB, you certainly won't regret it - just like traveling to Austria! ;)
Hi Schaaf, where did you bought that exhaust?
Well, on the CB500 it's definitely worth its money - although the rear suspension 's a lot more important and it certainly brings much more improvement than just changing the fork springs. I switched the rear susp. first and the difference was huge. Then I added Wilbers at the front and I didn't notice much change. Well, a little bit maybe :)
Do you rode XJ600N ? I had this bike and I sold this and I am very interesting if CB500 is better or not?
I wonder are foot pegs still there?
thanks! The brand's called "Streetfighter", it was sold at Louis stores here in Austria. But this model doesn't get produced any longer!!
This video is so good! Can't remember how many times i've watch this man
+João Cardoso thanks man :)
+Schaaf, do you remember how much it cost to paint your CB in your country? And also, the colour you used is Matte or Satin? Because it reflects some light.
I didn't have it painted in Austria because there's no way I'd be able to afford that. It's an official BMW color called "frozen grey"
Thank you Schaaf, it's a really beautiful color!
Nice video. Great to see this cb500 alive !
thank you!!
Absolutely amazing sir! Spent a good 5 minutes just figuring out how you caught that footage and it was definately worth it! Nicely done!
thank you very much, good Sir :)
Incredibile video. Questo dimostra quanto amore si possa provare anche per la moto più sfigata... Che non debba per forza essere una moto da 20.000€, oppure debba essere moderna e sofisticata per saper dare delle emozioni. Bravo, bel video
Wow, das Video ist ja voll an mir vorbei gegangen, hab es gerade erst entdeckt! Richtig geile Szenen und wie immer eine exzellente Videobearbeitung!
danke vielmals!! :)
This is by far the best walk-around video o the internet. You brought the production level to a new level!
In my opinion the video should have ended where the music did, but that's not my choice. ..
Goes to show - it's the rider not the bike. You could teach most of those vapid U.S. motovloggers a thing or two hehe.
+mightlife thanks a lot man :) Although it's the audience which should be taught a lesson, not the creators ;)
Yes and no.
The YT comments section is a beast all of it's own, that much is true!
+mightlife I meant it in a way that it's not the U.S. motovlogger's fault that there are people out there "simple" enough to enjoy their repetitive and uninspired crap content^^
+Schaaf haha, nice one.
+Tommy Gunn thanks man ;)

+ehsan83 I would IMMEDIATELY change my bike if I had the money ;)
+Schaaf I hope you get a better bike ;)
+ehsan83 in 2-3 years from now :D And until then I'm definitely fine with the CB
thank you very much, Vlaid! I added the sound-part because in my opinion every walkaround video should also include a decent soundcheck ;)))
thank you very much! Unfortunately, that's a rather tough question for me. I never learned editing. I'm just playing around with editing software for almost 7 years now.

The best walkaround I've seen so far, good job Schaaf !
Since the time that I awaits this video, héhé ;-)
1 year later and I'm back. This video is awesome man :D
tehehe thanks Grimm :D
The best Motorcycle video that i've seen in all of my life! Thanks man, That's awesome!
thanks a lot man :)
Probably learned your craft on that bike. I respect these bikes.
Indeed
I still have CB500V ('97). It's my 1st bike, got it in '05 in mint condition for about 2k €. I still drive it sometimes and i have to say compared to "modern" bikes it's much better to drive, at least for me. Also have '08 Hornet (which i drive now) and it feels very similar to cb500
BIG like ! That's the spirit, don't let the legend of the CB die ! Great work, magnificent video !
nice magneto effect
looks like you're levitating
or ascending into Schaaf-heaven
There I was at your latest upload asking what tyres you run and I should have bit my tongue. Awesome 'walkaround' loved it
haha no worries mate!! Thanks a lot Goose!!
Great video. Would like to have something like that about my bike.
It is nice to see, how much somebody loves and cares about a budget commuter bike like the CB 500 which lasts forever...
+Petr Pařízek thank you very much Petr :)
definitiv - aber wenn du deine 125ger schon komplett ausgereizt hast und richtig gut unterwegs bist, dann kannst du dir vl. auch schon was größeres oder stärkeres holen.

Really great video, love the editing, bike looks great, was doing a search around getting my first 500cc, you should be a sales rep for Honda!
thanks a lot, mate!! Well, at least Honda Germany was nice enough to share this video on their facebook page :)
Danke für die Tips!!! Ich hab mir jetzt auch Wilbers Federn und IKON Dämpfer bestellt,..War nicht günstig aber so wie es in deinen Videos den Anschein macht, wird es sich richtig lohnen :D Ich bin schon echt gespannt wie sich meine CB damit fährt.
ist ein riesen Unterschied!!
You forgot to mention something.
Forcefully deleted foot pegs. XD
that's not true! Half of them is still left :D
+Schaaf
I'm not sure if I even believe that. XD
get it if you can afford it - the little CB sounds SO nice with an aftermarket exhaust!! Thank you for watching!
thanks! Your CB looks very good, I like the color combination of the blue and the color of the rims!
And yea, changing the rear shocks makes a big difference, changing the front only a little bit!
thank you very much, Blackcat! Glad you liked it! :)
Wonderful right up to the end, to listen your bike sing and scrape on both sides of the same corner. 100% all the time.
Bikes & Drones thanks mate :)
I see things that I like in this Channel. Good work and have good rides
thanks Stefano
Kompliment für das Video! Macht einen hammer guten Eindruck! Nur schon der Zeitraffer ist episch! Super! :)
Hi man! I just watched some of your videos here in Italy and then I came here curious to see your bike. It's good to see you passion for riding and also a little not-so-new bike run with all-digital-full-powered-new bikes.

I like your guide style and seeing this video I think you really need metal brided brake lines to have amore incisive braking and most important less brake fading.
It's a relative cheap modification but it could improve your cornering speed in a really drastic way.
that's what steelflex brake line stands for. I don't know though whether that is a correct translation from German to English! Thanks
I'm using the stock ones. I could go for "sporty" aftermarket footpegs which won't scrape that easy and early but I somehow like it how it is right now. As soon as they start scraping I know that my leaning angle's pretty decent but still safe enough. I don't really dare going any further though - although it's certainly possible to do so!
Absolutely splendid, the cinematography in the walk around is absolutely wonderful 😁🔥🔥😁
Thank you so much 😁
danke, freut mich sowas zu lesen :) Die Farbe heißt "BMW frozen grey"
Beauty!
dangge!
Bridgestones. Gotta love those tyres.
We need a video like this of your VFR800.
I definitely don't have the time to do that, unfortunately
@@Schaaf Its so great to see your growth. Thanks for the amazing videos. May you grow to even more heights.
thanks, man! A bike in this size range would certainly be a decent choice for your next move - powerful enough to give you "that motorcycle feel" but not too much power to immediately get yourself into trouble ;)
excellent cinematography and editing
+SecondSquared thanks a lot!
danke dir! :) Bei mir wirds dieses Jahr zu nicht mehr all zu viel Action kommen, außer vl. ein paar Videotests für und mit meinen Kumpels. Hab momentan sehr viel andere Dinge im Kopf herumschwirren, leider... Aber spätestens nächstes Jahr wird's hoffentlich viel besser. Wobei ich fast nur mehr in geschlossenen Gruppen unterwegs bin. Aber falls ich mal nen Tag alleine losziehen sollte, dann melde ich mich!
Ist immer so.
Bin sehr oft in Gruppen unterwegs, musst mir halt nur sagen wann du fahrst hab sicher Zeit.
Deine Videos werd ich weiter verfolgen :)
I have her as well the CB500. converted into cafe racer style. She is so much fun to ride. Honda FTW!
awesome!
Sehr geiles Video. Ich sass gestern erstmalig auf einer CB 500 und war restlos begeistert.
freut mich, das zu hören! Danke :)
oh no! :) I get what you are saying. I always had the most fun on lightweight and agile bikes, just like the CB. I'm just curious if I'll ever change my opinion when I get older.
danke vielmals! Ich freu mich wirklich sehr, wenn's gefällt!
danke! Mit einem sogenannten "360 Mount" oder "Swivel mount" - gibt's klasse tutorials hier auf RUclips dafür!
Ich mag deine videos und finde es super das es youtuber gibt die nicht immer 10k Motorräder fahren nach weiter so
danke, Marcel!
thank you! Definitely switch the rear shocks, it makes quite a difference!
I didnt see this video. My questions are resolved with this. Thx Schaaf
Thanks Pablo
@@Schaaf thanks to you for yours videos my friend.
Hast du deine Maschine foliert oder lackiert ? Das schaut ja nicht gerade nach einer Standardfarbe aus ;) Und was hast du da circa für bezahlt ?
Grüßle !
Nice bike, and nice camera work. You are blessed with some beautiful roads. Took my KTM 690ER our today for some 50/50 dirt/street north of Houston today. Hoping Yamaha will be announcing the XSR700 for the US sometime in May or June....before I lose my patience and hunt down a deal on a '16 XSR900 in that awesome anniversary yellow. You appear to have some talent. Have you ever worked with an instructor on track? I tracked cars for a few years. Always a hoot to watch the good drivers in a $5K NA Miata knocking for a point by 2 turns past the main straight, behind some dude in his new Vette or Viper. Ride safe.
thanks a lot for the nice comment! I Unfortunately can't afford to go to the track and only have done one supermoto training on a kart track so far. But maybe this season I'll find a good opportunity.
That's life. I was once a broke student myself, and could barely afford a beater car. Since then, I've been blessed to own and track some nice sports cars-S2000 CR, NC Miata, FRS (GT86). I can tell you that the same David and Goliath dynamic you speak of exists there for cars as well. The guy in the $80K 600 hp car is often pissed when 2 turns off the straight, the $5K 100hp NA Miata with a skilled driver at the wheel is on his tail for a point by. It's always there when you have a mix of different machines and skill levels. ;)
sweet bike my man , your agressive riding make me cringe my feet and still wanting more ,and when im not riding your vids are waty to short ha ha ha stay safe bro !!
thanks a lot, mate :) You too stay safe!!
I have mine (1994) for 2 years...candy red..delkvic exhaust...lovely sound...is it a big bike..? I dont know, but l smile from ear to ear every time ride her..and she can go alm day long, and she can keep up with most other's..true classic..!!
Props from the US, man! Nice looking bike. I'm thinking of getting a similar sized/priced bike as my first real motorcycle, even though we don't have any power restrictions here! I've outgrown my aprilia scarabeo 150 after riding it for 3 years haha
What I'm saying is the music part was awesome. Like most of your "music videos" it is tuned finely to the rhythm perfect choice of music.
...by the way if I had a CB500 with a Leo Vince on it I'd probably want the rest of the world to hear it 's well.
Another great 'upgrade': a can of heatresistant paint. ±$20 a can, and your header pipes will look as new.
Anyway, I love this video. It shows that you don't need an expensive new bike to have fun and sound/look great. Nice editing skills!
Nice presentation, nice bike...It looks like brand new.
My old bike has left me on the side of the road while I was heading to Transfagarasan.:((
awesome man! I got my licence on this bike!!!
thanks! Nice! :)
Basically I am in Schaaf-heaven already as soon as I get on my bike ;))) Thanks!!!
thanks ;) Upgrading the suspension certainly helps a lot with my style of riding - although it still is a rather "wobbly" affair ;)
danke! Die Ikons hinten bringen einen deutlichen Unterschied, die Wilbers vorne nur ein bisschen!
Wie immer grandios geschnitten, wunderschöne Aufnahmen :)
Ich glaub es wird zeit für mich meine Federbeine zu tauschen wenn der Unterschied wirklich so gewaltig ist..
Weißt du wo man die IKON am günstigsten bekommt ?
und auf welcher Stufe hast du sie eingestellt ?
lg Walter
thank you! Getting back on the bike always sounds like a good idea :) What's wrong with your front brake though? Cause I might have some technical 'issues' with my front brake as well but I'm not 100% sure whether it's the brake disc or the brake caliper which is causing some problems.
thanks!! I got my CB in 2009 - she got 2 or 3 previous owners!
Wow dude, nice corner entry at 3:13
No wonder you upgraded the suspension, you got huge balls.. (double pun!)
Thanks for making
this Classic Bike A legend ....
The bike is almost of my age LOLzxc ...
Just WOW....
thanks for commenting
Great looking bike man! How do you get your time lapse like with the camera slowly moving? Looks so rad!
Very underated bike the cb 500cc .
+Michael Evans absolutely!
Feines Bike! Deine Videos sind mal wieder der Beweis, das Spaß am biken nichts mit Leistung zu tun hat. Btw. dein Krümmer könnte mal etwas Pflege vertragen (z.B. Autosol Anti-Blau).
Ein SV650 Treiber
Danke vielmals, Patrick!! Die Krümmer muss ich sowieso bald komplett tauschen, lange werden die nicht mehr dicht halten ;)
Anti-Blau ist für Edelstahl. Das sind aber schwarz lackierte (brünierte?) Krümmer, die mit der Zeit braun werden. Ich hab meine abmontiert, abgeschliffen und neu lackiert. Is net viel Aufwand, hab den Topf (original) gleich mitlackiert, was beim Edelstahl Leo net so supi wär
CB Experience ich weiß nicht mal, ob die tatsächlich mal lackiert waren. Passen mit ihrem rostbraunen Farbtouch aber gut in's Gesamtbild ;)
thank you! Do you mean the rotating GoPro shots? Search on RUclips for "GoPro Swivel Mount"!!!
Amazing, i've seen official motorcycle presentation videos that don't even compare to the quality of this one.
Awesome Video!
I got a 1998 cb500s (the faired one) myself, they are very underrated :)
they are indeed :) Thank you!
LOOOOL ich habe die BT45 auch und in den Foren wird immer behauptet, dass die Evo T30 oder T31 so viel besser und sicherer wären aber wenn ich sehe, was du mit den BT45 machst, kann das ja wohl nur ein Witz sein, was die da schreiben.
Und das Video ist gut geschnitten. Gefällt mir.
seit wann gibt es den T30 in 110 vorne und 130 hinten? Danke dir
Für deine CB500 ist es eine andere Geschichte, aber für meine Honda NTV sind die BT023, T30 und T31 freigegeben. Die hat hinten glaube ich 150 anstatt deine 130.
Klar, dass du nicht zum fahren kommst wenn du die ganze zeit videos bearbeiten musst!!! ^^ super gemacht, macht lust auch bei der hitze ins gwandl zu steigen =P
Man, your video and your bike are awesome!
thanks a lot Mauro!
danke vielmals! Freut mich :)
Geniales Editing und ein top Gefährt ;)
danke!! ;)
