Great selection there michael , I chuckled at your wife saying you cant count . It's amazing how many bikes you 'Forget' you have owned I find . My W650 is no.50 or 51 , who knows , I told a friend the other day , that it's the last one , I didnt know whether to be offended or not when he doubled-up laughing . Down to 5 now ! . Dave NZ
Thanks for the tour. You obviously look after all of the bikes you own which is a real credit to you. To be honest not into any your bikes except the Suzuki’s. I love the Hayabusa (I have owned three - all Gen II’s) and also had a couple of the Gixxer 750’s which I love and agree with what you said about its lack of sophistication, which I absolutely love - particularly through the twisties. I did consider the Suzuki GT but recently opted for the 2019 Suzuki Katana which is very basic and is very me! Thanks again for your interesting and garage tour for our pleasure 👍👍👍
Motorcycles are addictive, and habit forming. Always on the look out (and a reason) for the next one. You know the feeling 🤔 A great collection and a very understanding wife ! Many thanks you for the video 👍 Subscribed 😉
Nice collection and garage sir, i really enjoy your presentation/review of the bikes you present. Im thinking to get a VTR1000SP2, which brougth me to your channel in the first. But i find all your videos interesting because your good presentations. Cheers from Norway! :)
Great garage tour - enjoyed that. My collection. 2022 Ducati Panigale V2 Bayliss edition 2021 Ducati Monster plus 2021 BMW S1000RR m sport 2016 Triumph Thruxton R 2005 Kawasaki ZXR 1200R 2021 Lifan E3 (electric moped)
Thanks for the entertaining tour of your beautiful, impressive collection. I could tell from earlier videos that you owned a number of bikes, but hadn’t imagined quite so many. Wonderful collection…continue to enjoy them all.
"She goes like the wind and howls like a banshee!" I've got a wife like that too, she's a keeper! Anyway, never mind the bikes, I need you to come to my house and clean out my garage 🤣
Brilliant video Michael. Brilliant motorbike collection too. Looking forward to meeting you and many others next Saturday 25th at The Stratton Arms RS meet.
Absolutely stunning collection Michael….great to see….only got 4 myself but hoping to get to your level as I get nearer to retirement 🤣 The new GT seems the business and Im a massive Suzuki fan like yourself by the looks of it….my fave being the big GSX14👍🏻
Hi Samuel , thanks for watching . Tough question 😂 Like trying to pick a favourite child … If it is in the garage , I really do like it . If I could only keep 3 ? For practical reasons , rather than monetary issues , I would keep the GT as our sports / tourer , the Z900 as my all rounder and the big bore Enfield for local fun . None of those will appreciate in value but , although some of my other bikes are worth more than I bought them for , I only buy bikes I like , and sometimes others like them too … Might be a different answer tomorrow 🤷🏼♂️🤦😂
That green Kawasaki is a superb bike. Etc. etc. You have a real collection. 1,500 miles a month on the V-Strom 650 is a good return. If I wanted to tour on any of your bikes, it would be the GS. I did 92,000 miles on an R1100GS. Er, not in one tour.
Any fellow that's getting along in life needs something to keep him busy. I think you've found something! So those two trophies on the wall mean you hunt? We do some of that around here. Thanks!
Funny about Suzuki - I think they get the chassis transmissions and engines so right, that they just don't bite back. If you screw up, it just seems to say"give it another go". They also seem to be parts bin maestros. Things can always be better, but what they use does the job well. My gsx-s750 may rattle around some on the really rough roads, but as long as you are looking where you want it go, it will get you there.. A real joy of a machine. Come to think of it, I didn't see one in your garage...
Have you surprised any bikers while on your big bore Interceptor? How does it handle at higher speeds with YSS front and rear? Nice to see that great collection!
It is certainly more capable than people expect! A friend , who rides a Kawasaki 1000SX took it for a few miles and was very impressed . Handles much better with the YSS than I found the standard suspension ..
Great collection, love the SPs and the 996r. Have you tried any KTM stuff? I had a 1290R and it was a hoot. I’ve been considering a Vitipilen 701 as an all arounder
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍 I rode an enduro KTM and had the little 390 as a loan bike a fair few years ago . I liked the idea of the 790 for a winter bike but a bit too tall for me - I am 5’ 8” . Taller friends really rate the KTMs 😂
What an amazing collection and garage . Subscribed 🏴 Btw what’s that last suzuki? Interesting you mentioned shorter bikes. I’m 5ft 7” with 30 inch leg . Always keen to know what shorter bikers are riding .
A question that probably is always asked when large numbers of are in a garage in case of fire earthquake floods or which is the one you will pull out only one no time for two.......personnely vsrtrom cos itll survive any holocaust ....im jesting👍
😂 hopefully a theoretical problem but logically the ones that would be hardest to replace . Only 700 996 R were made. Probably start there? Lets hope it never happens- with my security systems it takes me 10 minutes to get into my own garage 😂
Thanks for the tour. You have an interesting collection of machines. Carry on
Thanks for watching!
Good to see you last night at classic motor hub 👌
@@benjaminlee8533 Thank you ! The video of the evening will be out at 3 pm on Thursday 25th of July 👍
The Honda SP1, SP2 and Ducati 996R homologation specials… what a combo. Nice collection, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for letting us all see in your garage very very cool great work mate.

😂 We need our friends to keep us real …
Hey Michael, thanks for steering me to this video. That’s really quite the man Mam cave.
'No Technology' Oh happy days. Nothing sucks the enjoyment out of a ride more than a warning light suddenly appearing. 🙂. Great video, thanks.
One thing does - crashing.
@@anxiousappliance 😂😂Very true.

We all like different things and overlap on others - which is great . Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment👍
Some beautiful machines there Michael.

A great collection and a very understanding wife !
Many thanks you for the video 👍

Thanks Andrew . Glad you enjoyed it . Fairly eclectic series of videos but I have fun making them 😂

Go for it! Very good bike . Not the most comfortable of choices but a unique sound and feel . Iconic ..
Very nice collection great taste!
Enjoy them!
Great music selection!
A man who has a set of bikes like that, easy to respect the motorcyclist within. Therefore, subscribed.
Great garage tour - enjoyed that. My collection.

Some great bikes in that list 👍
Wow what a nice collection
Thank you . Not really a collection in so much as there is no logic to the bikes . They are just bikes I happen to like 👍
Thanks for the entertaining tour of your beautiful, impressive collection. I could tell from earlier videos that you owned a number of bikes, but hadn’t imagined quite so many. Wonderful collection…continue to enjoy them all.
I am lucky and having a lot of fun 👍Thanks for commenting ..
Thanks for the tour Michael, Love the ZRX1200R mate, I have one myself.....Cheers
Thanks Jo . Yes I remember . The 2004 . You commented on the ZRX video a while ago . Hope the weather is good in Aus 👍
Awesome collection! You´ve got all the bikes of my dreams!! haha!!
We clearly have similar tastes 😂
Thank you, nice collection
Impeccable taste in bikes right there 👍
Love your label 😂 Mayor of Dipshittery .. Brilliant
@@michaelmam I do what it says on the tin 😂😂😂😂. Looking forward to watching more of your posts as I like your presenting style (No waffle).
@@themayorofdipshittery3646 Thanks . I do waffle occasionally but hopefully it is relevant and helps the story 😂
Very Very nice 👍🏍🇬🇧
Thank you - I'm officially jealous!
😂
"She goes like the wind and howls like a banshee!"
I've got a wife like that too, she's a keeper!
Anyway, never mind the bikes, I need you to come to my house and clean out my garage 🤣
😂. .. keeping the garage tidy can turn into a career … Thanks for watching 👍
great videos, really appreciate the content
Thank you . Just a bit of fun but I enjoy making them 👍
Very nice garage. You make me want to have a cleaner shop. Not enough to actually go out there and do the work, but it would be nice. :)
😂 During Covid it was brushed to within an inch of its life …
Brilliant video Michael. Brilliant motorbike collection too. Looking forward to meeting you and many others next Saturday 25th at The Stratton Arms RS meet.
See you on Saturday 👍
I’d have that Ducati in my living room. What a bike and a cracking collection.
Thank you Gareth . A friend of mine has a bike in his fireplace . Out of respect I won’t say what it is but probably the best place for it 😂
Absolutely stunning collection Michael….great to see….only got 4 myself but hoping to get to your level as I get nearer to retirement 🤣
The new GT seems the business and Im a massive Suzuki fan like yourself by the looks of it….my fave being the big GSX14👍🏻
Thanks Mark . Looked at getting a GSX14 but found the ZRX1200 first . Same idea and both good bikes 👍👍
Garage of dreams 👌
Great stuff!
great video - i just got the gt as well
Better to get 10 bikes like these than a supercar! Awesome
Thats the conclusion I came to Sam 👍
Great collection, thanks for sharing. I know it probably changes all the time but what would you say are your top 3 favourites at the moment?

Love the ZRX1200R, I had a 1200S because I couldn't get an R model at the time, wish I'd waited for an R.
Great taste in bikes, a top collection, now get that SP2 out! 👌
Got it out today 😂 A few things to do on it but 👍👍
Tienes un garaje de locura...un sueño.
Pretty crazy 😂

Completely agree about the chassis and transmissions !
There is a GSX 750 R in the garage somewhere .. 😂

Since you like the hayabusa, I would really love it if you could review a CBR 1100XX blackbird, or do an comparison between the too…
I saw one at the weekend and was thinking the same .. need to find someone to lend me one !
@@michaelmam come to Belgium, my place and you can borrow mine anytime…
@@prowler916 Thank you for the offer ! 👍
Put I should put in Blackbird communities… you never know…
What an amazing collection and garage . Subscribed 🏴
Btw what’s that last suzuki?
Interesting you mentioned shorter bikes. I’m 5ft 7” with 30 inch leg . Always keen to know what shorter bikers are riding .
The last one is my Suzuki GSX-S1000GT . Great bike . I recently reviewed the
latest addition to the range , the GX . Spoilt for choice 👍
Great selection of bikes . Nice garage too . As I'm also into watches is that a two tone sub you have there?
Et tu Brute you beat me to it ..... I think it's a bluesy 166666whatever13 LOL
GSXR750, is it an L3 ?? You sure about the ABS mate 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
😂 Not now I think about . I will have a look when I get back . Taking it on a track day at Silverstone in two weeks so better be sure 😂
Hi Alexander . Just checked the bike . Definitely no ABS ! Wasn’t a legal requirement in the UK until 2017 .. my bike is , as you say a 2013 , L3 …
