Design 😅 also we didn't figure this out somehow until after the video but the pressure of the tires was so low that it was eating all the energy but not deforming the tire

Thank you so much Georgi for this message! Very special. Will definitely try put some more content up soon. I love the VFR750. That is a rare bike in South Africa. Don't know too much about the CB500. We do have the 550s though. Hope you get your bike! 😄

Yes sir. That turned out to be the issue. Has had quite a few strange issues after that but the battery sorted out the starting issue at least haha.

True. It definitely doesn't vibrate the same but it will vibrate. It's more a buzz than a clunky chug like a harley... like a phone vibration. It's definitely a capable bike for the highway though. Thanks for the comment!

Hi. Thanks for the comment! Is this the Versys 1000? I've been quite intrigued by them as a daily. Why the switch from a sport tourer to a cruiser? 👀 Suprisingly, Ducati are quite relaxed when it comes to that (maybe that's just here in South Africa). They just said give us a call and we can make it happen 😎

@@officialbuggutz no I had the 300. I’m an old guy with sciatica. So I want better ride height.

@@turtle19dad I'm sorry to hear about the sciatica. I'm not sure if bike weight is an issue because the Vulcan is quite a heavy bike despite being a 900 only. If you haven't already, I would recommend trying to organise a test ride with one just to see that it's not going to put pressure on you. It's easy riding when it's rolling but very low speed riding is a fight.

Excellent choice in motorcycle 😎👌

That's awesome to hear! Haven't ever seen another one on the road in SA. Nice to know there is at least one other out there haha. A Panigale! 😍 very jealous. Haven't yet had the privelage of riding one yet but you best believe we will make a video of it when we do 😁 when did you do your first desmo service on the multi for interests sake?

Did belts and everything only at around 45 km ! Cant really remember. Its sort off my daily drive. Did the exhaust locally in Potch. There were 3 around here once, friend bought a beautiful 1000s with all the carbon and ohlins. My bike did Swaziland twice! Gravel and all ! Panigale is great looking, but must say not comfortable. Have a 1190 ktm, feels like a couch in comparison!

@@hendrikvangraan9269 That's awesome! I'd love to see that 1100S. That would be a real treat! Impressive stuff hearing that you've tackled Swazi 2x 😎 I can imagine the Pani isn't per say the most comfy but like you said absolutely beautiful looking. I dig your array of bikes 💪

Thank you for such a thorough breakdown. I think you summed everything up very well 😎 one thing I would say is that although it is a rather heavy bike for a beginner, the power is definitely managable and forgiving should you make any mistakes with power control. Have to agree though, that if you're building up confidence as a rider, a lighter bike would be much better. Once again, appreciate the comment and you engaging with us 👌 thank you 😁

I spend most of my time on state highways and backroads. The bike feels at home on those roads. I honestly find freeways very boring. Just wish they didn't stop making the Vulcan 1500. I would've absolutely spent an extra few thousand on a 1500 or a basic 1700 without the bags and fairing.

Without a doubt bro 😂

If you spin your head when you watch it it looks normal 😂😉

@@officialbuggutz will definitely try it 😂

Glad to hear it 😎❤ thanks bro!

😂 thanks bro ❤

Thank bro ❤

It's a really solid all-rounder 😎 how many miles have you put on it since?

@@officialbuggutz I have a shortened riding season because I am in Alaska, so as of now I only have 12k on it. A few years I was out of town and didn't ride at all.

@@richardallen1816 I see. As long as you make use of your riding season, that's all that matters! Thank you for the comment though. We appreciate the engagement hugely and enjoy hearing from other riders such as yourself 😁 Also if you have any tips/comments for another review video, please let us know👌

100% Correct! We took the owners word for it but probably should've looked it up to confirm it. Thanks for the kind words and letting us know 💪

😎 we plan on it bro 😄

Nyooooooom 🛴

Some things are beyond human possibilities 😉

Don't know how that one slipped the radar. Thanks for the heads up 😅👍

@@officialbuggutz i only knew cause i own one. Good video, they run good and are very comfy.

@@jasonhannah7105 Thank you for the kind words. They are very comfy indeed! Reliable as well. Really do appreciate the engagement 👍😁

Indeed! Fortunately it wasn't a summer rain... would've needed a wetsuit and snorkel 😅

@@officialbuggutz 😂😂😂

What does this mean?

Hi Jan, Thank you for your comment! Your English is very good so no issues there. Dillon (blonde guy) managed to take it into a shop and they saw that the battery wasn't delivering enough current even though it was holding enough voltage. The low current was not able to turn the starter. A new battery had sorted the problem out 👍 Thank you, Jordan (burnette guy)

Jordan, Great, so the problem is solved. there is reason to be satisfied.

Thank you Bottom Gear 😉

We need to check this. Dillon (blonde guy) left the proper multimeter at his house and the one we used to check the voltage was rated for very small currents so we still need to properly check this.

Truly is an amazing machine!

Thank you Mauro for the help! We will try to get the necessary equipment to do this. Kind regards

There is more to the starting issues on these bikes than just a starter or battery . Keep clicking on the starter button , mine is the same but starts eventually . Keep the multi , they are a great bike . I have the new V4S multi as well as the DS1100 and love the 1100 .

@@andrewberg2361 We managed to get it checked out and it turns out it was the battery after all. It could hold charge but it couldn't deliver the required amps to activate the stater motor. Bike starts like a dream now!👍😍 Thanks for the advice on keeping it! Dillon will definitely hold onto it especially since the issue is resolved. 👌

😂 a nice ring to that. It does roll start so the engine itself still seems completely fine... for that reason we suspect it's either an issue with the electricals or the starter motor... still not sure sadly. Things went south after Dillon pressure cleaned the bike. Perhaps water got into a wiring clip?

@@officialbuggutz id take every wiring connection apart q20 it and rejoin... worth a shot ! also just cause the battery has enough voltage doesn't necessarily mean its still good. Most of the time when iv seen this on bikes its cause the battery needed replacing. how old is the battery ? replace it with a Motobatt!
