Did I miss the part where you talk about the stator being a huge weak spot on the GL1200 ? When I owned mine 25 years ago mine crapped out at a rather inconvenient spot 1,000 miles from home and when I started digging back then, the other GL1200 owners with bad stators just came out of the woodwork. I loved it but I would never buy another one. Back then it was a $1,000 repair bill because the engine had to come out.

Finally! I’ve been looking for a video to confirm if this is a sports tourer! I want that super sport look, but with the upright position of a naked. And you’ve confirmed it! Time to get my big boy license and get one! Thanks!

I know where there is a 1994 trike with 80000 thousand miles been setting up for five years one of my friends girl friends dad had it but he passed on five years ago says it was running bfore he died for $2500 would you think that is a good deal to buy are a headache.🤠

There was a hint of disdain in your voice when you realized it was a rabbit instead of a squirrel haha. What did a rabbit ever do to you?

Gosh man , your mouth is foul.

Can't say I like those hydraulic valve lash adjusters.

Is it a complete 360 for one notch?

is 5.5k franks alot for a 20k km 2020 ninja 650?

The KLR is an antiquated piece of CRAP!!! I have an 05 and it is little more than a grocery getter. The biggest piece of shit in have owned in 50 years of motorcycles..

Windshield could be molded anyway if someone really wanted to make them.

No kidding :)

Gotta be too broke because of that nice Klim gear. Dang that stuff is great, buuut crazy expensive.

It's a bit late for me

Half of this video and 2 of the 3 points are just self admission your no good on the tools .. pointless upload

Last time I insured a motorcycle I used markell does anybody know there's a better option I just need something cheap

I just bought a 2022 Ninja 650 I'm not sure if it has different driving modes or if it also has abs can anybody help me

37,500 miles on mine, year 2017 bought in 2016 (so 8 years I ride it.) . It calms me down from the big boys, yet twisties are still pretty fun. As a starter bike it's very very good; if you are too scared the 400 is awesome as well. If you aren't scared go for the 1000 (as you can set it to use only 75% of power until you feel at ease) I went on the East Coast of Canada with it for a week, it can take the load no issue, so yes it's Touring yet sporty. Good vid, and yes "subjective" is your opinion, "'objective" you can add facts to a subject ;-)

Im buying it

leaving alot on the table can start higher rpm and shift bit later can squeeze 4 out of it easily

I used to own a ninja 300 around 6 years ago...now I'm torn between the 650 and the 500 se , price is almost the same and I already have some experience, going to the 500 feels like going to the same bike I used to have, but since I have a bit more experience despite not being riding for a few years..Would the 650 be a good choice over the 500?

just order some off cycle gear for my Honda NC700X; installed yesterday; felt good; waiting for the weekend for a nice PCH ride: paid under 200 for them and about 120 to install them at my local Del Ammo dealer; i ride about 14 miles daily so I wanted some inexpensive tires to try out; could not justify the $250 to $280 per tire this time around; but I intend to get better tires next time should these tires give me less than expected performance or low lifespan. thank you for the video....

Post purchase: Be ready and willing to replace all fluids, break pads, chain, sprockets, spark plug, tires (tubes), and battery. Check fork oil

Jeeps also fly around the corner. I almost got hit head on in Anza Berago Jeep Trail

Love the sound of that thumper mixed with the riders excitement

Great video!!! I am thinking of getting a 2024 ninja 650 for highway commuting (75 to 85mph) for at least an hour. So, according to the vid, this 650 can do that, right? I never had a 650cc bike before. Someone please let me know...

I have driven one but I would never drive one in a state that required a helmet. It seems so ridiculous. Edit: I rented one in Vegas. I was on a bridge that had seams. Was going about 70 and almost hit the wall because the thing caught a little air on the drive tire. I would rather have a Shelby Cobra or a Caterham.

3 things Don’t Buy One

Currently own a 22 klr and looking for something smaller lighter and easier to ride to add to the stable. Considering a 500 and 650, any thoughts? Also how is the power and torque compared to the klr? I know they’re totally different bikes but That’s all I have to compare anything to as the klr is my first and only bike

I'll bet those are "fun" if you come across an alligator meandering across the road!

Look at you physically; you don't appear to know much about excitement; except from a fat girl

For the same price you can get a convertible corvette or mustang that's faster and has heat, a/c, and a roof if you get stuck in the rain.

It does a 14 second quarter mile and a 5 sec to 60. Thats slow af. Everyday vehicles are faster than that.

I drove two of these and they’re a joke

Indian dealer in Daytona you can buy them for half that price all day,

Do MMT next.

The first thing you should know is that if you purchase a Slingshot that you are personal finance moron. The next thing you'll find out if is it not a car and not a motorcycle so the only people that will hang out with you are other financially illiterate morons that also bought a Polaris Slingshot.

Did you just compare a Slingshot to an F1 car??? Wow!

I have Dunlap road smart 3 for my kawasaki concours 14 and they are awesome, I get 7 to 10k miles out-of them and I have taken the bike on the track and were great, I getbthem cheap, curious about the kenda km1

Maybe it's difficult for you ..

haven't you heard of the university youtube! they teach you everything! LOL!

timing belt shouldn't even make your list, because if that was a issue, than yo could put cars into that mix! just got to know what that manufacture says about changing your timing belt every so many miles! plus I check the prices on tires! no where the price you quoted on $600.00 bills! $200.00 in change tops?

This could have been a 2 min video

That wise man who you mentioned...could it be Jeremy Clarkson?

How can it get out of time? If it uses a timing belt it should be replaced at regular intervals. If it has timing gears ⚙️ or chain ⛓️ it should last the life of the bike.

Retread rider here sharing with you that my old GL choice was/is a 1998 Gold Wing Valkyrie. In so many ways it's the "naked" version or the fulfillment of the M-1 Gold Wing prototype. And like the O.G. GL1000 series, it has virtually none of the features and standard equipment that came with it's stable mate, the GL1500; no cruise; no ABS/LBS; no self canceling or 4-way flashers; no reverse (except export to Japan model!?) Heck, the Valkyrie doesn't even come equipped with a center stand! Another important feature of the Valkyrie GL-series, that distinguishes it from the Gold Wing, is that it didn't have all that plastic bodywork! When it comes to a turn-key riding & ownership experience, the Gold Wing is in a class all by itself. Enjoyed your video and thanks for posting it.

Started on a r3 and just moved up to a ninja 650. It's amazing! And so much more powerful than the r3 yet still almost as flickable. Super fun bike!

What gear did you end up in? 2nd?

How does the change in the windshield angle affect fuel efficiency?

Just bought a new 23!

i find these 80s goldwings far easier than harleys having had a few myself and just this year getting into my first gl1200
