Excellent tour. Cool, you are a skilled driver. Evening ride is good, hardly any cars or people outside so you had the whole quiet city to yourself. Thanks for the movie. how long have you lived there? This is how i discovered your channel few months ago as I was searching for information on the north. I visited Israel for the first time back in 2011 so I'm due for another visit...umm I should enroll in ulpan class so I won't get lost. It would be nice to sight see haifa and mystical tzfat
Hi Anna, evening rides are the best at hot summer night. it cools my core :) i live here almost my entire life. never thought about any other city in Israel because it's 5 minutes to the sea, 5 minutes to the Carmel forest. you can cover everything to see here in Haifa in 2 days max. Bahai gardens and temple, Carmelites monastery at the top of Mt. Carmel, a day at the beach and a few nice restaurants . tzfat you can cover in 2 hours - not so much to see there. you dont need ulpan or hebrew , everyone speaks english, all signs are in english as well. have a great day.
i really don't know. never ridden these bikes and i'm not familiar with their specifics. i think one should choose after riding both of them, feeling them. what's the main purpose ? road or off-road ? these are 2 different bikes.
***** Though both have street tires, I think both will be ok on the gravel "off-road" paths in Israel. Are Honda bikes selling in Israel? They're supposed to be of fairly good quality and reliability.
mika2oo1 of course they are selling here and they are good quality.. why buy from an agency an lose 20% of the price in the 1st and 2nd years ? if you're patient enough you can find a good bike on the 2nd hand market. i looked for mine for 6 months. forget about the small details like breaks diameter, shock observers length, horse power differences - it's irrelevant for a new rider. position and comfort in riding have much more weight in the decision.
mika2oo1 that's a totaly different bike :) not sure the CB500X is selling here but the CB500S is about 50K NIS. prices here are 3-4 times higher than EU / US .
Seems like a nice city.
thanks Jer, it's true but i'm biased as i live here :)
good..thanks

Is real estate very expensive in haifa? I heard that cost of living is outrageous in Israel
Honda CRF250M or Honda CB300F? Which would you choose for a beginner's bike in Israel?

Been watching on RUclips, and now the Honda CB500X is looking like my favorite choice. What would a 2013 model sell for in Israel?
