@@MrEcliptor yes you’re 100% correct. That’s actually the first time I laid eyes on one. I’ve been riding motorcycles since I was a wee one, but I live in Washington and needed to get my endorsement. So I went to the local place and saw the most beautiful motorcycle I’ve ever seen, I noticed on the side it said TU250, I passed my test that day on my 125cc scooter, set on a Suzuki. I went home, searched Craigslist, after about a month I found a tu with 900 miles on it at my local dealership for 2800$. I bought it and the rest is history! This was in 2016.

@@sallythedino haha ya! White van guy next to me smiling is my friend. So he knew what was up haha!

@@MrEcliptor heck ya I’ll give it a watch!!!! Would be fun to ride this years too!

@@MrEcliptor thanks for watching and following along !!! 👍

@@murtadhasaifulbahrein4208 hello friend! Thanks for watching and following along. I do like the mic mini, at 59$ usd it’s hard to beat. My settings for this video is and I’d be happy to share them, Noise cancelation OFF, DB gain -6. For software I’m using davinci resolve 19 which is a video and audio editor. The audio is untouched. Just straight from microphone no edits. Thanks for watching and following along! I’d happily help get your mic mini setup once you receive it! Have a great new year friend. Btw where are you commenting from , I’ve had folks from all over the world watch it’s just so cool to see! 🌍 Have a great day.

@@clydeosterhout1221 oh that’s awesome we’re like biking buddies already! Yes the tires actually made a huge improvement off road and even just around the neighborhood. I haven’t noticed any downsides at all! Thanks for watching and following along. 22k miles on my tu and about 13k miles on my buddy. Great bikes, what color is your TU & buddy?

@ the TUx is the brownish-grey sort of color all 2011 bikes were. My scoot is the “Brit” blue model from 2013. It was originally my daughter’s bike, but after a few painful mishaps she decided that she wasn’t interested in riding after all. I bought the bike off of her and have been enjoy it ever since.

@ same story with my buddy. Neighbor had it, wrecked, I bought it for 800$ of her after she said no more and I repaired it, new tires, new starter , (was kick only after the crash) , and headlight! That was in 2017, no issues since. My uncle has the orange tu, the ‘17 I believe? Yes mines a ‘11/‘12 I call it champagne, a friend has dubbed it Tiny Bubbles. (Champagne color and small displacement)

But if you release your clutch without rolling your throttle, won't you stall out? Starting from a stop, while angled uphill, has been a challenge for me, too.

@@CubertEtc I guess it depends on the bike. I know that some bikes can start moving easily without any throttle and some can't

it depends on the bike for sure - the suzuki tu250x no problem at all!

correct!!! my zx6r will immediately stall with no throttle on, the TU no problem at all!

@@odencore thank you! I like this Suzuki so much, my favorite bike. Thanks for following along!

@MotorcyclesWithMatthew awesome. I just got my first bike yesterday, 2004 Ninja 250.

@ what color! Awesome bike, I have the same one but a 07! Blue with flames. Also have a 07 zx6r ninja, both amazing! Thanks so much for finding the channel. Just filmed a tu250 beginners ride tutorial today I’m working on. You’ll love the ninja! Enjoy !

@@MatthewsMotorcycles oh nice. It's silver and orange. And it only has 1600 miles on it. Just need some work before it's ready to ride

@@suculant excellent bike! I’m happy for you. I know you’ll really enjoy it- My favorite motorcycle I own (I own 8) ! Thanks so much for watching and commenting and if there’s anything I can answer for you about ownership just shout I got you covered!!! Thanks for following along !

@@UMWCircle1 yes, it’s almost “too” smooth haha! It’s sunny today and great news sunny all week yay! Should be good weather for videos. Any requests? I have helmet camera setup diy and clutchless shifting on the TU on the request list. Any others? Have a great day!

@@lawrencesimon absolutely, I’m using a dji mic2 which i have clipped to my helmet strap. The mic is connected wirelessly via Bluetooth to retain waterproofing to a dji action 4 camera on my helmet. I’d be happy to do a video on my setup if that would help out? Thanks for watching and following along.

@MotorcyclesWithMatthew thank you for those insights. I have a DJI action 4 but with the normal mic but as they came for Christmas and the weather here has not been good to try them out, I am waiting for a day where I am not working and it's not raining!

@ nice! I can give plenty of tips for ya for settings and such. It’s a great camera. Today l be using the action 4 on my handlebars facing me and the GoPro on my helmet doing pov. I’m going to try and multi cam the footage.

@@babyboy1971 thank you! Happy new year! Right now I’m using the action 4 with mic2 (in this video) but also have the Insta 360x4 and GoPro 13. How you been! You safe with the Calif fires and such?

@ we are near them but safe. Dozens of friends lost homes. Air quality was 423 yesterday near us. Can’t go outside! Sounds like you got a lot of cams! Me too! Action 5, GoPro 12, Pocket 3. Keep up the great work!

@@babyboy1971 gosh i'm just so sorry, i'm originally from california (san francisco and long beach) and i can't imagine the pain. also thank you so much! you've helped me a bunch with the videos & i really appreciate it! my audio is for sure getting more on point (todays vespa video will be done in couple hours it sounds great) .

@@protodimbo good ideas on both! I did the school and enjoyed it. The action 5 is a great camera I do recommend it! Let me know if I can help at all, thanks for watching and following along !!!

@@MatthewsMotorcycles Thank you so much for your comment! It would be great if you sorted your videos into playlists, and also I'd like to see more tutorial videos for beginners like clutchless shifting

@ I’d be happy to do that, for the playlists woukd you like it by motorcycle or by like tutorial or pov etc? I can for sure do that I just haven’t had the idea before. Also yes clutchless shifting no problem , I do have one I’ll link you here th-cam.com/video/GXEO-TVSRjU/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared I can also make a new one for you this weekend no problem !

@ just got started organizing into playlists! Did a couple , lmk what else I can add or how to better organize them. Also ya I’ll do your clutchless tomorrow, would you like it in neighborhood or highway or anything in particular I got you

​@@MatthewsMotorcycles yeah, new playlists are perfect, thanks so much for organizing, now it's easy to navigate through your videos, and I'll definitely check them out. About clutchless shifting - yes I referenced your video and I think you can make more lessons like this, and they will be very useful for newbies like me. I think it will be perfect if you comment what you're doing, how and why. You can make lots of videos on how to go into corners, how to brake, how to ride in a traffic and many others topics. And about places - I've never been to the US so any landscape for me is new and interesting so feel free to make it as convenience for you as possible

@@tjp-re4du I suppose your right, dirt road would be more accurate! Thanks for watching & following along !

@@psilocybe_reptiliensis thank you!!! I just washed it today! Looks even better now

@@cjshaw11 thank you! It developed a usb transfer problem and they wanted me to send it in, instead of sending in I just returned it and I’m using my action 4 now. They said the action 6 will be coming around march so I’m gonna pick that up for sure.

@@RuthSisco-n2r hello!!! This is the Blanchard mountain trail south of lake samish!

@@Icon_Edits_ hi, it’s not , it’s plugged into a power outlet, it would happen when plugged in or not, I exchanged it and my new one works great.

@@iMBlessedYT yes no problem I’ll link ! I’ll edit in morning I gotta find it

happy new years friend! this video is with the dji action 4 and mic2, i'm goign to do better with putting the cam and such in the descritpion i forgot. todays video is amazing it wont be until tomorrow but i went "off roading" with some big bmw gs's!

it's a great bike, what makes it unique is the single cylinder, like a royal enfield classic etc, i like the newer royal enfields also! thanks for viewing and following along my friend!

@@zekd hello, low cut on, noise cancellation OFF, gain -4. Thanks for watching and following along more rides & tests coming today!

@@iMBlessedYT hi in this video it’s the dji mic2 Bluetooth to camera. In some other videos it’s wired to a rode mic. Thanks for watching !

@MatthewsMotorcycles awesome video man, I'm considering this camera, just doing research vs the GP13, did you tape the mic 2 inside the helmet? It sounds amazing

@ thank you! I own this and the GoPro 13 so I can help with that, here’s the mic 2 with he GoPro 13 Bluetooth th-cam.com/video/QY3HmvyuPQ8/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared , in terms of audio quality the dji camera paired with the Dji mic is unbeatable. To obtain similar audio with the GoPro 13 you’ll need the media mod (80$). Tje reason for this is any GoPro none of them support gain control for microphones without the media mod. The mic 2 I can place in two areas, first is clipped to my helmet camera chin strap, and the second is actually the headset “ pockets “in my helmet if I don’t use my cardo setup. But in these videos the mic 2 is clipped to my helmet strap using its included clip. You raised some good questions so I think I’m going to make a video tomorrow on this question essentially, how my microphone is setup in my helmet and the like. Thanks for watching and following along !

@@MatthewsMotorcycles thank you so much brother, I have the gp11 and the dji pocket 3 that came with one mic2, I mounted both on my motorcycle today and the pocket 3 looks super clean, but any bump shakes and distorts the video, that's why I was considering the action 5. I'm checking out your other videos, a mic setup video would be great, I already subscribed too 👍

@ heck ya let me know if I can film any combination of video for ya but lately my sweet spot has been the dji action 4 with the mic2, great all around setup and value. I got the action 4 bundle from Costco at 199$ usd. Thanks for subscribing! On Monday I’ll be doing a wired mic versus mic2 comparison just for fun. And a Vespa ride today !(1/5/24)

@@JKjhaajitraveller correct ! 0 gain level. Thanks for watching and following along.

@@UMWCircle1 that’s a good question. Would make a good video I think you gave me an idea! No honestly I’m comfortable even on my yellow sportbike, I think why I like the tu250 the most is because of how quiet it is yet still great exhaust note, it’s super light and nimble, it gets incredible gas mileage (I can put one gallon in [usa] and ride for a week to work) , it’s quite comfortable yes on and off road because of the weight, I really like the looks and the simplicity of it most. It’s the most basic a motorcycle can be. Thanks for asking!

@@CubertEtc happy new years to you also! Thank you kindly ! I enjoy the tu it’s probsbly my favorite to ride at the moment.

@@BikingChap I’m south of Vancouver bc, wonderful little area to ride in. I daily commute on my motorcycles and it’s just a real joy. I forgot to make my first custom thumbnail for yesterdays video but I think I’ll do that for todays! Thanks again.

thank you! i'd really like to try a g400, such a good looking bike!

@@PotandaMe02 haha thank you!!!! Thanks for following along !

@@BikingChap the footage looked excellent but I’m a doofus and literally had the lens zoomed in. So I’m redoing it tomorrow. But what was strange was the AUDIO was maybe the best I’ve heard….i was going the g7 with the rode lapel mic, and it sounded excellent. Sorry I didn’t include footage it was just so zoomed in. I’ll redo it tomorrow. And lastly I didn’t even notice the weight of the setup once I was in motion. No issues whatsoever!

@@MatthewsMotorcycles Fascinating stuff, I'll make I'm subbed to see how you get on :)

@ thanks bud! I appreciate you! Happy new years to you. 👍🥂

@@MatthewsMotorcycles and to you, good luck with the channel :)

@ thank you! Awesome channel yourself! I may take a few pointers from you and try the preview thumbnails like you have with the writing etc. I think I’m going to do a top 5 likes about the Suzuki tu250x today. Thanks so much!

@@detour4vintage hello & yes! The helmet clip at the beginning shows the mic placement just clipped inside my helmet. The 5 minute video with the Insta 360 in the title is just the mic mini test with the x4, I did the same where I swapped mics for the ride home but the x4 with the mic2 section hasn’t finished uploading yet just the mic mini. The video titled action 4 (one were commenting on) I commute to work using the mic2 there and the mic mini back. Just in case you wanted to hear the quality in general. That’s so cool about your photography , what type do you enjoy ? I’m a landscape / nature photographer. It’s just my hobby/passion. 👍 yes I can dm you, happy new year!!!!!!🎆

@@MatthewsMotorcycles Hey Matthew, Sorry, I understand. Thank you for helping me out with the mic information.👍

@@detour4vintage of course I’d be happy to! I have both the mic mini and the mic 2 so I’ll test and video both tomorrow! Report back tomorrow evening! So far I’ve had the best luck with the mic2 but I’ll happily test the mic mini. Here’s the action 4 with mic 2 yesterday . I’ll do the x4 and mic and :2 for ya tomorrow. th-cam.com/video/YyU-B-r4uHY/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared action 4 mic 2

Great, thanks! I'll check back tomorrow.

@@detour4vintage sounds great! I know how I’ll do the test, on the way there I’ll have my action 4 on my helmet and my x4 on my handlebars like usual. On the way to work I’ll have my x4 connected to my mic mini, on the way back the mic2. (Swapping mics with the action 4 each way! ) so should be a great and balanced test. Good idea btw for the actual motorcycle helmet test sometimes I forget to do that.

@@detour4vintage ok bud I just finished filming your test! I’ll upload this evening it may be done tonight or tomorrow morning at the latest I’ll link back when done! 🙏

@@MatthewsMotorcycles Great, thanks. Looking forward to it.

@@sallythedino just about 9-10 pm! I forgot exactly but that’s the range !

@@shiningcabra I think you’re right, I’ll try that! The mic is inside my helmet clipped to the cameras helmet chin strap! I’ll do a video on this if you’d like. Yes unfortunate about the mic situation on the hero. I’m using a dji action 4 in today’s video with the mic 2, action 4 is 199$ at Costco so a good value, mic2 is 99$.

@@Ankitvkc oh crap I just realized what happened. I had my mic connected to my GoPro with raw audio on, so it’s playing back the onboard mic AND the external, sorry , I’ll have this corrected after 12/23.

@@Ankitvkc I agree; here’s a good example of the GoPro 13 looking good during the day and afternoon.

Yes for the stabilization shakes I had the same issue where objects seems to “vibrate” , I wasn’t able to fix this and when the usb port on the action 5 stopped working I returned it entirely. I now have the action 4 bundle from Costco at 199$ usd.

@@Ankitvkc I agree with you. If you go back about a month or two I have a bunch of videos on the action 5, I had to return Mine and now use the action 4 and GoPro 13 black.

Here’s a video of the 13 at night I can help anytime with your settings ! 👍 today I’ll be testing the gopro 13 with my dji mic 2. On the action 5 one thing that helped me was removing the lens cover at night, it reduces the flares and light trumpets.

@@MatthewsMotorcycles Yeah, dji mic2 integration and TH-cam reviews on Action 5 pro got me sold, and DJI was giving 2 extra batteries for $349 with Action 5 pro. I wish I had more time to test DJI Osmo action 5 pro but I am heading to NY on Monday evening and need something for BTS/ Street Photography PoV videos. Do you think dji mic will pair with Gopro 13?

@ hello friend, yes I tested yesterday the mic2 and mic mini both pair and record fine with the GoPro 13 black. I just need to test if it sounds good on a motorcycle which I’ll do today. Lastly since you’re in US like me check out Costcos bundle on the GoPro , it’s 299$ usd with 2 batteries, a memeory card.

Check back today for a GoPro mic2 video!

@@qazzranalamry1772 yes! Audio for sure is the trickiest part on a motorcycle. I’m getting closer I feel like. Noise reduction I’ll leave off for sure!

@MotorcycleWithMatt Yeah! And then color grading when you want certain colors or vibe. But if sticking to authentic, then it's easier.

I think you're right, today i used the gopro and it does have a bit of that warp look. Tomorrow (monday) i'm going to use the Action with the new mic and see how that goes! thanks buddy!

@MotorcycleWithMatt Ahhah! Yeah. Here I saw the warp on DJI FOV boost. But when watching it fullscreen one camera only in other videos, they're fine. But the GoPro one does when watching it separately in other video. It's just the nature, nothing wrong with the device. But our own experience. Good luck

@@qazzranalamry1772 hey thank you so much that made my day. Yes I’m getting all set for 2025, I figure I get all dialed in then really up it for you guys in 2025!!!! 👍 hey thanks again I appreciate your kind words.

@@qazzranalamry1772 hey I just saw this comment again and it’s the best comment I’ve ever read. Thanks again. 👍

@@MatthewsMotorcycles Heheheheh my pleasure buddy! It's refreshing to see the VR. Playful. Can even see your setup on helmet or when you scratch or hold stomach. Heheh. Also your helmet, outfit, and adoring more details of the bike itself! I like the keychain spring cable for the key. Feels immersive and kinda like riding or simulator game in a way. Nice feeling.

@ this is an awesome perspective I didn’t even think about! Ya it’s basically what my body is doing while riding in a way I couldn’t film otherwise! Thanks again!

@@qazzranalamry1772 yes getting the voice all dialed in, as far as talking while I ride do you prefer a quieter ride of just the bike or do you like me talking a bit while riding too? Getting a feel for what everyone likes haha.

@@MatthewsMotorcycles I see! For one person show, post production is crazy task yo! So it's great to find the right setting for us that is efficient. Simple but works. I personally like calm ride. With just view and engine sound. But sometimes when the rider talks lightly at certain interesting point. Like discovering something on the way, or such is nice as well. Or sometimes, but I don't want it to happen, when they crash a little or something they react naturally. Sometimes anything happens on the road which we react naturally. Phenomenon. If you want chatty, it's best at informational vlogs or sharing tips and journey talks. There can also be just natural ride where you just be yourself. When you think of something on the road might speak about it. When not, just ride. For the no commentary video, just add the title so. I think your channel is already mix of something, since there are informative videos mostly I see at first. Which means you will always carry topics. For enjoyment I like silent ride, sometimes natural ride/vlog. But can't lie, sometimes I need informative videos when needing info about gears, experience, comparison, etc. Which was how I found you. And I'm thankful of that.

@@MatthewsMotorcycles Anyway, in all your experiments, just find what you enjoy and/or what challenge you to grow. Don't want things make the ride not enjoyable. As I see some vloggers quitting due to that.

@@qazzranalamry1772 this is a great idea I can title my rides as just a raw ride or a chat ride, I’m uploading todays I just tested my GoPro 13 with my mic2 and tweaked some settings I think it sounds pretty good but it will be a bit this afternoon till it uploads.
