That is a great point, I've been trying to avoid talking as much about price, as I don't want to come off like I'm always trying to sell something; to keep it all purely informational. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice video. First time I’ve seen a female ride and review one of these. A good perspective. Please do a versys 650 LT and Versys 1000 SE LT please. Be safe..
Hi Joe! Thanks for watching and commenting! My goal is to do a review on every single current Japanese metric motorcycle, but that is quite a backlog of content!
Just bought a new 2018 identical to bike in the video. Good buy but...first 500 miles and I'm only getting 140 miles out of full tanks thus far. Ouch!! That's a lot of gas stops for any planned long range touring. Don't know what could cause such horrible fuel economy but that doesn't seem right. I don't think I can keep it if that's typical or nornal.
I personally prefer the 650 for the light weight and handling, I believe it to be a better “around town” and off road bike, but if my plan was to go serious distance I would take the 1000, as it is better on the highway.
Trevor Standefer well, I’m sorry my voice is obnoxious, it’s the only one I’ve got. I’m glad you checked out the video though! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Trevor needs to stop hatin.......I think you have a beautiful voice Sarah and I'm going to be buying one of the new 2019s. Rock on sister!! @@TEAMPOWERSPORTS
With the advent of the 1050, the XT 1000 is now the litre+ ADV bargain of the decade.
lovely short review. You forgot to mention the price.
Best bang for the buck in the ADV section.

I am also digging it.

Check out a V-Strom owners website, Stromtroopers.com
That's not a 70/30 tire, it would be a 90/10 or more like a 95/5. The hub laced spokes are so the bike can run tubeless tires which it has.
In Australia this is cheaper than the Yamaha Tenere 700 which is totally over priced. If I'm getting an adventure bike this will be it.
I have a 2014, hope they have fixed the headlights running thru the starter button with no relays. Bad design!
Great review! I have one.
Such a nice bike! There's nothing you can't do with it! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Your voice is fine don’t mind the tool below...
Thanks Super Star! But I don't mind the comments, after all, I did put myself out there!
Which bike do you prefer 650 or 1000?
I personally prefer the 650 for the light weight and handling, I believe it to be a better “around town” and off road bike, but if my plan was to go serious distance I would take the 1000, as it is better on the highway.
Nice to see a woman doing some reviews. Nothing wrong with your voice. You sound cute.
Thanks a bunch friend!
classic laugh
Sorry Sarah not because you’re a woman but I can’t with your voice...I had to mute sound and put on captions

@@gusallegri5393 Thanks Gus! I appreciate that! Although, in all honesty, I am the most annoying person I know. I know you're gonna love that 2019!
Really Dude? Be polite.
Hey you Neanderthal, keep the negative comments to yourself!
