- I ride my 2019 Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT south on the Pacific Coast Highway from Carmel to San Simeon in California. This video is unedited and in four parts showing the whole route.

Haven't seen any new posts from you in awhile. Enjoyed your videos very much!
Hey, you still around ? Not heard anything from you in over a year. I pray you are okay 🙏
Havent heard from you in a while. Hope you're doing well.
Turned out to be a great series on the Big Sur PCH, seems to imply that you get from Carmel to San Luis Obispo in about 2 hours in low traffic. Ironically not long after you said the trip thru the whole stretch was this first you had without being stuck behind a slow camper for ages (or turned around by CalDOT because of reconstruction), sets brought a moving camper obstacle in your way just for your trouble. Thankfully your vast production couldn't have the plot or the fabulous view of the scenery purloined, so the camper made haste to exit road right. As far as other trips to plan, how about in Sequoia Nat'l Forest and Kings Canyon Nat'l Park. Not as long of a journey as making it to Yosemite Sam, but many canyon jams and surely plenty of nice scenery along the way. You've got to get more videos into RUclips land before your state burns up!
Thanks for the kind thoughts. Definitely welcome any suggestions for good rides and places to visit. The theme of the trip was quick ride up Hwy 1 before a landslide, but as you pointed out it’s interesting I made it from Santa Barbara to Mendocino without one detour due to a wildfire. It was great timing and I am considering making it an annual trip, landslides and fires permitting.
Secret to touring, stop more often. Every 50 miles to 70 miles a short drink and stretch makes 300-500 miles easy. I am 6'2 so understand tall. I tour on naked bikes so fatigue can become a problem. I'm in my 60's
Just recently found your channel. Really enjoy your videos and commentary! :) You mention Kawasaki in the video - just wondering if you ever considered a Versys?
Yes in several videos I recommend the versys. But I have a history of racing the sv650 and I simply prefer the vtwins from Suzuki, they're iconic.
@@CPUspeed totally get it - I'm a fan of the v-twins as well. Almost bought a 2020 1050 before getting my Versys 1000. If I hadn't found such a great deal on a leftover 2019 I probably would have gotten the Suzuki.
Hey Hi, what is the exact model of your wind deflector? Tnx.
check out my accessories video. mra sport from memory.
For our CA freeways, how would you rate the 650 against the 1000 now that you have owned the 650 for a bit?
