Think a bike like this is truly a road bike where you can actually enjoy the English country roads for what they are. If you're held up in traffic no worries, your having fun being chilled out! I'm 23 but im starting to think of selling my sports bike and buying something like this sooner rather than later.
I own a street twin and my only complaint would be that the OEM Tyres (Pirelli Phantoms) are absolutely pants. Once you ditch those, the bike is amazing.
@@richardsanders3567 I have been riding Pirelli Scorpion Trail 2’s for the last 2 years. Going to try some Avon’s next time around - maybe Avon Spirit. From what I’ve heard from other owners… it really doesn’t matter as long as it’s not the phantoms!
Been riding since I was 14, even before car license. 62 years (very young😆) now. Have had many, many bikes. Am going to trade the HD softail Deluxe for one of these due to the fact now riding alone, no more ex. I am experienced enough to know that I do not need 150 HP to have fun. Getting to the point in life that less is more. Anyone who says that they could not take one of these cross country (perhaps easily) is kidding themselves! 🤔🤔. I might look at the Speedmaster also. Then just flip a coin! Love your straightforward reporting.
This is my job so I hope so haha yer already have reviewed another bike I am working on that video now. Got lots more lined up before the year is out 🙂
Where's the whistling noise coming from? Matt Workshop was doing something about that ages ago, off the top of my head i've forgotten exactly what now, but Triumphs were mentioned, and that whistling
I hope those are textile gloves. It would be really wicked to hold out a leather glove to a herd of cows as if saying "this is what you'll be one day".
The exhaust noise is giving me eargasms after eargasms! Beautiful engine sound.

I did exactly that, sold a speed triple and bought a street twin.. never looked back
At least you can bring a passenger comfortably. Road bikes no no.......

Any tyre recommendations ?

so great !! I have the same in jet-black !! fantastic bike !!!
I got mine a week ago, Ironstone, it’s fabulous.
Have been teetering on the outermost fringes of being a patron… the cow scene sold the deal. nice work
I test rode the Street Scrambler & loved it; lazy when you want it to be, but rapid enough for UK roads when the mood takes 👌🏻👍🏻
Just traded my Ducati Supersport for this bike love it very different but great bike so easy to ride
This is where this bike is perfect
Great video stay safe 🇬🇧👍🏻
Beautiful roads, ideal for the street twin.
I've ordered a chome edition cant wait to ride it !
Enjoy!
Are there any more bikes you'd like to test ride in the future?
This is my job so I hope so haha yer already have reviewed another bike I am working on that video now. Got lots more lined up before the year is out 🙂
@@spicy110 are there any that you're particularly excited for or are you keeping them secret

Some say its from the water/oil pump unit.
Was the yamaha you were thinking of the XSR?
That's the one!
@@spicy110 glad to help 😁
Would you ever consider buying some cheep 2nd hand bikes (eg 125) and seeing how long it lasts etc?
Not really as I would just fix it every time, I do like the idea of getting 125cc bike for the greenlanes and fixing that up at some point. 👍
Cow sniffs your gloves and it reminds him of his uncle Colin. Then he realises he hasn't seen him in ages and the penny drops 😱
My thoughts entirely. Ooh the irony.
What's your preferred type of bike? i.e sport, cruiser etc
Depends what I am doing but for me I really do love supermoto's

Jesus you really did pick the wrong day 😂. However, It does show things to be aware of as a motorcyclist.
Haha yer it just gets better and better and I edited out 2 tractors as it was dead space.
Everyone loves a tree tunnel, until a helicopter takes off 😁
Very good point! 😃
Spicy getting lost, that has been some time ago xD
👍🏻

this is the bike that was in a James bond car chase scene
I can tell you now, if you did those jumps you would not be walking for a while lol
@@spicy110 I just bought this bike. It's my first bike and I'm a little intimidated. But I'll master it eventually. I love the look of it
The cows are sniffing the very same material as their own skin!
Spicey110 the cow whisperer
Waves hand covered in dead cow in cows face, wonders why cow is scared...
Tiny country road and everybody is in your way. You make to "civilization" and nobody is there! 😆
Don’t trust him, he’s wearing Martha.
Wearing what? Lol
@@spicy110 Martha the Friesian cow, black and white leather gloves. Oh never mind 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry didn't get the ref at all 🙃
Please don't use the 360 it sucks.
SURKE!!!!!!
