Yes, it is! Such a good A1 Bike👌🏼.

Thanks! 👌🏼

Yeah, the region is really nice there. 😍 Thank you mate! My pleasure! 💪🏼

Thank you! 🔥

Klar, wieso denn nicht. Der Motor wurde dafür gebaut und für alles was darüber ist bzw. er "nicht aushält", gibt es einen Drehzahlbegrenzer. Den Motor dauerhaft auf einer hohen Drehzahl zu halten, wird sicher nicht das Beste für ihn sein, aber ihn so hoch zu drehen und dann zu schalten usw. ist an sich kein Problem, da er, wie gesagt, dafür gebaut wurde 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Hi! Thanks a lot for you nice words 🤩. That's definitely no bad idea. I did the same I do not regret for a second. The 4 Cylinder sound is just love and to be able to unthrottle it after two years and to have twice the power is perfect! The handling and the look is so nice and also the feeling when riding as well! Definitely recommended from my side! 🔥

do you mean the cb500r? there's no way you can ride the 650 with an A2.

@@DILLIGER90 Get informed before writing nonsense

@DILLIGER90 of course you can! You have to throttle it to 35kW (48hp). I also just have the A2 license. So at all rides with it, it also only has 35kW.

Yes, it is.

@@stoxiflow The stock exhaust sounds pretty good but I can imagine how great it would sound with an Akrapovic exhaust.

Yeah, the stock sound is really nice and for my opinion perfect. The Akrapovic will sound better quite safe, but for me, all in all, it's not worth it. 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

@@stoxiflow How do you find the handling of the motorcycle?

Really nice, very agile. I like it a lot!

Yes, I'll definitely! Sorry for that. The ISO-value was too low on those videos. Maybe some videos will be slightly like that in the future, but the ones I record currently, will be better/as usual. Thanks for your comment! 👍🏼

Yes it is, right 😉😅

Thank you!! 🤩

I can do that in some of my next videos, when I'm recording (I've pre-recorded some already, logically can't change anything there). The reason(s) why I didn't show the vehicle first is, because then I "have to" pixelize the plates. And I also want to focus the channel more on the riding itself and not that much on the vehicle. If you want to see my Golf R you can check it out on my Instagram (stoxiflow). Thanks man! Everything is original, though. 💪🏼

@@stoxiflow ok I understand! I'll check your Instagram to see the car 👍🏾

All good, thanks! 🔥

I've never ridden the 690 SMCR yet, so I think, that I can't help you there. 😕 Thank you! My pleasure. 💪🏼

@@stoxiflow 🙂👍

No, its build year is 2021. It also has a Quickshifter 👍🏼.

Danke dir erstmal für das Feedback! Ja, das mit den Zwischengas verhau ich leider ab und zu noch. Man muss auch dazu sagen, dass das Video von vorheriger Saison (2023) ist. Danke dir. Bin aber ehrlich gesagt, im Nachhinein betrachtet, teilweise mit der Linie nicht ganz so zufrieden. Habe Anfang diesen Jahres ein Fahrsicherheitstraining beim VaraHannes gemacht und werde versuchen mich heuer noch mehr auf eine gute und sichere Linie zu konzentrieren und meine Fahrweise usw. zu verbessern. Vielen Dank nochmal. Freue mich immer über ehrliche Rückmeldungen! 👍🏼

Danke dir! PS: Was meinst du mit "Thailand 1959"?

Thanks mate! I sadly had the wrong ISO-setting, so it's even darker, than it should be. At the video editing, I could fix it a bit, but it's pretty dark anyway. Glad you still like it! 🤩

​@@stoxiflowdont worry about it, it's easy on the eyes

Thanks mate! I appreciate it 👌🏼.

When it's blurred, I'm going >100 km/h. Yeah, you're right, the ride wasn't that fast, but does it always have to be fast? ... and beside of that, it's throttled to 35kW (48hp). Where is "Straya"? The road conditions of this road are about average for an Austrian road. So there are also much better roads here. You can watch some other videos of mine if you want to, to see some other roads as well 👌🏼.

Ja. Funktioniert bei dem Bike kaum. Liegt eventuell auch am 4-Zylinder. Wenn man sie etwas höher dreht (ca. 6k-8k rpm) und dann schnell vom Gas geht, knallt/schießt/ploppt sie einmal kurz etwas, mehr aber nicht. Finde den Sound usw. aber trotzdem gut 👍🏼.

Dieses Jahr - Mitte/Ende Juli 🤩

Ja. Die hat 35kW/48PS

@@stoxiflow ah sehr geil, dann kann es ja nur noch besser werden wenn du sie entdrosselst :) - wie groß bist du und wie sind die Fahreigenschaften so im Allgemeinen?

Auf jeden Fall! Im Juli ist es so weit 🤩. Bin soweit ich weiß ca. 1,77m und was genau meinst du mit "Fahreigenschaften"?

​@@stoxiflow Ok ich glaube mit meinen 1,94 bin ich etwas zu groß für das Bike ...😢

Möglich, kann ich jedoch so nicht mit Garantie sagen. Am besten beim Händler eine Probefahrt machen!

Yes! It only has a Quickshifter (Honda original part) and a short license plate holder.

... and it's throttled to 35kW (A2 license)

E-Clutch? ​@@stoxiflow

No it hasn't. It's from 2021.

Von Burgau nach Mitterberghütten in Salzburg (Hochkönig). 🤩 Der Ort steht auch immer in der Videobeschreibung und wird relativ am Anfang des Videos eingeblendet.

Thank you! 💪🏼

Thanks! You got a good taste 👌🏼.

Danke dir 💪🏼! Auch eine CB650R?

@@stoxiflow Ja ! Cb650r .

😍💪🏼

Thank you! Here I had on the Bridgestone Battlax S22.

@@stoxiflow Lovely! What are your feelings on the BS22s? I can obviously see the road test ;P but I am curious about your experience

All in all, pretty good, but sometimes, it didn't gave me a save feeling about what's happening on the road. For this season, I'm trying out the T32. Until now, I like the really much and also the mileage should be better 💪🏼. If I had to choose again, from the current perspective, I would take the T32.

@@stoxiflow T32 is nice I heard lot of good things about it. I will check back when you post about it! Thanks for the feedback, ride safe mate!

Thank you mate! Ride safe as well 💪🏼🔥

I don't know what's "shit" about it but thanks for your feedback 👍🏼.

It's just a really great and nice bike.👌🏼

Okay, when you think so 🤷🏻‍♂️. Anyway, thanks for your comment.

Fast enough to have fun and go home alive 👍

Absolutely agree with you! 💪🏼

Thanks mate!

My pleasure! I'm glad you enjoy it. 💪🏼

Thank you, highly appreciated! 🤩🔥

Yes, it absolutely is! Here, the bike only has 35kW (48hp). If you know how to ride, on curvy roads 95hp is enough!

@@stoxiflow I should have watched the whole video!

Why you mean that? ... so what has it to do with the hp? ... and basically, 95 hp are not just enough, they are more than enough, especially on curvy roads.

@@stoxiflow I agree 💯👍

I get your point, but when I'm concentrating on the scenery too much, I can't concentrate myself on the road anymore, and then I ride anywhere 🤷🏻‍♂️😬. I know the road sections I upload on TH-cam, and so also know the scenery. If I want to enjoy the nature etc., I safely stop on the side of the road or look for a nice place to take a break. ☺️

I really appreciate having roads like this on my doorstep! 😍

It's throttled to 35kW - so it's A2

@@stoxiflow gracias 🫂

My pleasure! 👍🏼

When I don't forget them, yes 😂 … but I only use them against the wind noise, not to hear music. In case I would want to hear music, I can use the headset in my Ruroc helmet.

@stoxiflow does your ear ring the days you dont? Are you running aftermarket exhaust? II have the CB too with akra. I think it got bad once I installed cardo for in my helmet and removed padding. The wind easily gets in.

Sometimes a bit, yes. But the wind noise is foremost annoying and loud while riding. No, it's the original exhaust. I use specially fitted ear plugs, like some use in a workshop. They are designed to reduce the volume of the work, etc.

Thank you! Here I rode with the Bridgestone Battlax S22.

@@stoxiflow Ah yeah the famous Battalax S22s. How's your experience with them?

They are pretty okay, I would say. On some days, and especially on some parts of the road it had occurred to me, that they were slippery sometimes. This season, I try out the Bridgestone Battlax Sport Touring T32. Until now, I only rode 3 time this year, but my first impressions are really good. They aren't that slippery and always gave me a nice feeling for what's happening on the road. I sadly can't remember the S22 that good anymore and also don't have a direct comparison, but from the current point of view, I would choose the T32. Hopefully this helped 😁!

It is! Congrats! Wish you a nice and accident-free ride🔥.

@@stoxiflow Thanks bro!

Yes, it is 😍. Thanks mate!

Thanks for your criticism, but I've some questions 'bout it. What do you mean with "dropping the revs aggressively then back on"? What's wrong with the front break? The rev matching at this bike isn't unnecessary. It's way smoother and faster, when doing it, than without. And also, there is no auto rev match. It's "very, very, slow" because it only has 35kW/48hp.

It's not the bike that's slow, its, your riding style. Try changing gear once in a while, too 😅

In some situations it may be, that I was too long in that specific gear, but also if I had shifted, I wouldn't be a “fast rider”. I think after over 2 years riding with this bike, I know a little bit, when to shift and when not to.

@@stoxiflow I won't be hard on you. It's very clear you're not super confident with the bike or the roads. Good luck 👍

Why am I not confident with it, when I'm riding "slow"? What has the one thing to do with the other? ... and as I sad, it isn't really possible, to ride much faster with it's 35kW 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Danke dir! Habe die Strecke erst vorrige Saison "für mich entdeckt". War dann, soweit ich weis, 2-3 mal dort, bin sie dann jedoch einige Male auf und ab gefahren 😍. Danke, dir auch eine schöne Saison! 💪🏼

That's my pleasure, thanks! 🤩👍🏼

Thanks a lot for you nice words. Highly appreciated! 🤩 My CB650R is a 2021.

"Delivery of '24"? You mean waiting, until 2024 "arrives"? 😅🤔 Yess, the CB650R is a really nice bike to watch and listen to 🤩.

@@stoxiflow I ordered 2024 model CB650R,new facelifted one. And waiting to be delivered to my Honda dealer.

Got you! Yeah I know. Really nice bike! Have you also ordered it with the E-Clutch?

@@stoxiflow nah, I optioned for a regular one. For E-Clutch I have to wait 6 months. and it gives me too much of a scooter feeling. Maybe when I get older :)

All good, got your point! Anyway, would be interessting to drive with it once/to try it out 😅. I wish you a nice ride with it and enjoy the time. Ride safe mate! 💪🏼

How does it work then with the driver license out there? That absolutely may be, but many beginners just aren't competant 🤷🏻‍♂️.

@@stoxiflow Here, a license is a license. No restrictions. I'll admit it's kind of crazy that teenagers can just go buy 1000cc super bikes but it's also crazy that I wouldnt be allowed to own my bike in the UK as it is my first bike and it is extremely manageable. 2 ways that I know of to get a license: You can take a 1-2 day class and get a certificate to show your state gov Or You can do a written test for a learner's permit (with restrictions but not on the power of the motorcycle) and then do a practical riding test to get your actual license. I did the class, 2 days in classroom and riding course and passed. Got a certificate, sent it to my state's vehicle bureau and they sent me a license with a M-endorsement on it.

Wow okay, sound's pretty easy. How old do you have to be, to be allowed to ride every bike (hp and so on doesn't matter)? What's an "M-endorsement"?

@@stoxiflow How old depends on each state but all states are 16 years old at most to get a driver's license. An M(otorcycle) endorsement is a addition on your driver's license allowing you to ride motorcycles. There are no restrictions to the endorsement. So at 16 you can ride a 190 horsepower Hayabusa legally if you wanted. Although, this isnt common at all. Some people do it but most people still choose to start out on smaller starter bikes because it's dumb and insurance for a 16 yr old on a sport bike is insanely expensive and good luck to them getting their parent to pay for it.

16? That's really young. In Austria, Germany, etc., with 16 years old, you can "only" ride a bike with 125ccm and a maximum power of 11kW/15hp. ... America is just really different in many ways 🤯.

Thank you! All props to Honda and the CB650R 🤩.

There I had on the Bridgestone Battlax S22.

@@stoxiflow How is the S22 on wet? It’s time to change my tyres and I need to decide S22 or Michelin Pilot Power 2CT

I wasn't riding on wet roads that much, but is far as I can remember, it was okay. Not very good, but also not that bad. For this season, I'll try out the T32 👌🏼. I'm sorry, but I think, that I can't help to decide between those two 😕.
