Usefull vid thans. Only had my first motorcycle lesson the road yesterday. Its still very difficult for me to decide what i want. In the past i did road cycling and real competition on quite a high level. I could ride on those uncomfortable racing bikes for hours without feeling discomfort. But i'm really wondering if i truly want to go for a sport bike. Because in a way, it does sound stupid. BUT, they just look so freaking cool and i want one. BUT perhaps after riding on it for a year i get bored and it just sucks. You said after about 90 minutes your body starts to hurt. I'm not planning on making longer trips then 90 minutes so i wonder how uncomfortable a sports bike would be for me. Perhaps with my past experience and a cyclist (And i still work out a lot, core stability training etc that helps with things like this) its not that bad for me? I'm willing to trade in some discomfort but i have no idea how bad it is. I think i should just go to a store and at least sit on one of them to get an idea. I can imagine it being more comfortable then a racing road bike (Tour the france bike i mean). But it could also be a bit worse.

It sounds phenomenal.i think you can get even more gains with a remap after exhasut and dna filter. That would be perfect.

You've got a new subscriber brother 💪🏻❤️

it was good to meet you today Vinnie. awesome review too. it would be interesting to compare the 1200 with the 900 given they're about 5k less with the same beauty and refinement.

Aussie here grabbing one of these from a fz1n just to run around with, these bikes always interested me since they seem to have fair bit of go for a 250 but look nice and sound good too!

Indian Price .

Good luck 👍

Nice video. I got my Classic 350 Signals (marsh grey) because: 1. ❤at first sight 2. Very affordable 3. Wonderful to ride, so much enjoyment. And yes, definitely a time machine! And it sounds pleasing to the ear.

I bought the zx11 last year for 1000€... this bike is insane ❤❤❤

I had one just like that it was fast on drag strip zx11 is fast as hell wheelie on 3 gear not even moder bikes are abel to fast beast of 90s was a spike for hyabusa gen 1 and black bird gen 1

Hi Vinnie , love your enthusiasm but you do like the sound of your own voice a bit mate. I've scanned the video a few times , did you even mention or expand on the cruise control ? I couldn't find it ? Love the bike though .

Plz plz plz, i need to know what that rear luggage carrier is, ive been looking forever to find one for my ZX-11

Which exhaust good deep sound for vtr 250 after market ?

What mirrors are those on bar end of RE 650?

I'm 6 ft and 220 lbs. Do you think I'd look too big on the bike?

can I ask how tall are u.. are u able to sit on it with a flat foot down?

About 7:10 he pulls. But his commentary is worth listening to! This is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. All bikes now have 100mph graphics when most of them would be very dangerous at those speeds. I think used long time owners have low miles on this beast because is faster than most riders can handle: it’s a bonafide death machine 😅🎉😂.

07:08: from an e-mail sent me by DNA Sales Department "Regarding our company, we do not collaborate with S&S Cycle. As a result , they do not sell our products It seems that they have created a 100% copy of the DNA High Performance Filter."

Blackbird a brilliant bike,Zzr 1100 an origional Legend

And that title was taken by 2mph by d blackbird at over 100 cc more

i think the high bhp race rep jap bikes have had their day... these may be slower in comparison...but they have character.. and easier to personalise.. more fun..

nice one..can hear your enthusiasm...id rather a slower bike with character than just go high speed on a cbr600...... bike looks nice

I think people buy them largely because they look cool, and, most importantly, offer tremendous value compared to the competition.. Triumph's twins are beautiful machines, but priced out of reach for many riders. The RE is about 80% of a Triumph in performance and build quality, at about 50% of the price. For many riders, that's hard to beat. But for me, they're too heavy (so are the Triumph twins) and they need a bit more power. If they could coax the engine up to about 60Hp and drop about 40 lbs. off the weight, they'd literally own the entire retro parallel twin segment. The old British twins rarely broke 400lbs weight, and these bikes today are closer to 500. That's just unacceptable. I value handling and response over acceleration, so I bought a Triumph Speed 400. It weighs about 370lb. wet, and is easy to control and a blast to ride. Only 40 HP, but with 100lb less weight, it's close in acceleration to the Interceptor.

Good

Best review of the Speed Twin I've seen, and I've seen a few as I think this will be my next bike.

Very eloquent 👍

... there's no need to shout ! I own an Interceptor, but there is so much work to do to bring them to a good standard ... what comes from the factory is, sorry to say, not really worth the money. My first bike in 1976 was a Redditch bult Constellation 700 from 1959. This was a much better bike. Ive rode a few 100.000 of kilometres on two wheels since I've started in 1976, most on 4-cilinders with around 100 PS or more. The 650 would be my last bike in that life ... and they is what I've awaited ... but not more

I want this as my 2nd bike to go on longer touring trips

Wtf.. i have watched this video before.. i realised that only when i saw my 1 year old comment 😂

Apart from the Blasphemy...Great video..!!!

2:01 there it is....

just loved the joy you had on this bike just wonderful to hear and see

Hay mate Paul from Australia just watched your review on the VTR 250 , “ I know it was done 2 years ago “ , anyway I now live the the Cairns area of Australia ( for the winter) which doesn’t exist up here 😂😂😂, so thinking of buying a VTR250 to use while I’m up here a few months off the year .

What do you think of the bike????

Royal did what harley couldn't Cheap fun bike with character

Love the review well done Kiwi . I am going to buy one.

$23k? Where the hell you from? I got mine $13k out the door im from US

Can we have a one year later ride update? Would really want to know your opinion after one year of riding it before jumping the gun and get one.

Haven’t seen ya for a while. All ok? I have a new bike a green Kawasaki Z650RS. It’s so much better than anything Royal Enfield put out. I sold my Himalayan it was becoming to unreliable and RE only allow two rows on its roadside assist. I used both of those.

How different did you enjoy from conti GT?

Weight of the custom gt650 track bike plz answer me,❤

A bit late to your video, but I love mine. I picked it up as an abandoned cafe racer project. The guy had only started to fit a tail tidy and after market indicators. It's done around 104,000km and runs pretty well. Carbs need a clean and the cooling system needs a clean out, but it's a great fun bike to ride.

The name of this exaust?it's fantasticcccc

I still have my 1993 ZX11D1 bought it brand new an getting ready to clean carbs an get back on it I can't wait

Really beautiful view. You ride so cautiously. Subscribed!

I swear you are the most sensible rider and TH-camr and whatever you talk about in your videos makes totally sense. This is your second video I’ve watched. I’m actually moving to New Zealand this year for my master’s degree and since I’m a rider myself I had a few bikes in my mind, KTM 390 Duke, KTM RC 390, and Kawasaki Vulcan 650. Since I’ve had bad back and neck issues,, I won’t be getting RC 390 or any other sports bike as you suggested. I want to get a motorbike for the daily commute. Can one ride a bike throughout the year taking weather conditions into consideration? Would love to ride with you one day. New subscriber here. Keep making such awesome videos.

After watching your video I just had to buy one! It arrived today, along with the DNA air filter, and I already installed them. Ohhhhhh maaaan, it completely changed the bike! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! It sounds AMAZING!!! I agree with the placebo effect but I have just riden it for a couple of miles. Yet to be properly tested but darn, now everyone hears me coming! 1000 thanks!!! 🙌🙌🙌😁😁😁

PS the 650 version ended up in the Deauville. I had the 700 version for a while. Also bulletproof. Extended Pannier covers and taller Givi screen. Very nice solo touring bike. Shaft drive a bonus as well. A mechanic at my favourite bike shop in the Adelaide hills, which also served coffee and snacks, saw me pull up one Sunday morning, and told me that an owner of a Deauville had put it in for a 200,000klm service, fearing the worst. Internally it was still perfect. Quality engineering and durability. Just routine maintenance was needed.

My ex thought she’d start on a LAMS Cruiser. Too big and heavy. Sold it and I recommended a VTR250. Much easier to handle, but she lost interest. I used to take for a fang around the Adelaide hills just to keep it all together. I’m a very experienced rider and even though 195cm and 90kg, it was a blast. Solid 41mm forks and for what it was, an ideal learner bike. Great fuel economy too. Around 3l/100klm. For a shorter and lighter rider, ideal. It was punchy enough down low and you could rev it all the way to redline for a decent buzz. Wish they’d made a 500 from this design. The 650 version was just not sporty enough. A mini monster of 500cc would have filled a real niche and taken it right up to the Dukes. Make it slightly larger and a cafe racer style = winner.
