702 ? More power .

How did you manage to drive around the Gleniff horseshoe and not mention Diarmud and Grainnes cave? The big black hole above the old houses.. 😊😂😂 well done, ye covered a good few miles/kilometres😊❤ you're right about the roads in England, we were recently in Epsom and Dorking in Surrey. The roads are in sh1te.. and they've stopped trimming the grass verges and roundabouts leaving it very difficult in places to see oncoming traffic.. Yeats spent a lot of time around Lissadell and Drumcliff and Sligo, being related to the Pollexfens. The Gorebooths lived at Lissadell and Yeats was keen on the daughters and could be seen on occasion wandering the roads mumbling poetry to himself..

I am from Letterfrack near Kylemore Abbey and at National Park which you would have rode through, hope to get back one day from Australia so I can ride around on the wild Atlantic way. You were blessed with weather too 👍😎

Just got my TRK502x here in Perth Australia and love it, understand the power side but I don’t really need it too much anymore. 👍😎

I,v heard comments on the engine reliability of this bike and the 702... what do you think? (it maybe just s***talk)

Those caves in Gleniff are dangerous. An American tourist died falling there a couple of years ago and people are frequently rescued by the mountain rescue team and the coastguard. There’s caves at Keash in south Sligo are much safer. There is a road off that road which goes to the mast on the top of Truskmore (650m) but it’s locked these days. About a 40 minute walk. Spectacular views. And the next valley south is worth a look, Glencar.

First set eyes on this bike back in summer 1999 just before I went away to University. Scraped enough cash to buy one in summer 2006. Crashed it in October the same year. Would love another now I’m old and sensible.

Multistrada actually means "hot knife through traffic" in Italian, true story.

Come back anytime! As you said, September is when Ireland is at her finest. We don’t get a summer as such, just the odd Tuesday in June and July, but September is the business.

Looked at one of these for my next bike not sure though what are they like to live with?

Great video

Hi Ivor. the VTR was the 2nd bike i owned, swapped a car for it. Loved it. Sold it after 10 years, regretted it. Bought a doer upper VTR that had the front auto tensioner failure. Spent 6-8 months putting a new engine in and like you learned as I went along, loved it. I'm still riding it today. It's not the prettiest looking bike, but it starts and runs great. Happy tinkering..

I love Malvern Hills. Perfect bike to go on, too. Great video 💪

Excellent bike Ivor , but as you stated non comparable to the Benelli but i think the Benelli still has it`s place for an entry level first adventure type bike. The only thing that spoils Triumph is the overpricing of parts and some of the plastic are shite on some models . The sound of a triumph is music .

Was it fuel Ivor or water from the wet conditions 🤔. That’s what we call a Toya Wilcox, “it’s a mystery “. 👍

My mate had the 750 SRAD when I had my Blade back in the day, it was incredible. Handling was superb and it was almost as quick as my Blade, but my God it killed my wrists!

Good times, when suzuki could actually make interesting and wild bikes, instead of things like GSX-8R....

Where is the bike advertised?

love it whan you opened her up at 7:24 mins,👍

only just seen your channle, out of the blue, love it ,new sub🙏

This takes me back...had the '98 Gsx-r 750 SRAD. Absolute stunner of a bike!

I’m 66 y/o around 5”9 and love my srad 600

Im rebuilding/restoring one of these right now. Hoping to have it ready for summer.

Gorgeous bike’s Ivor but like you i have aged a bit and want comfort. But what a great track bike you could make 🤔. Excellent video cheers brother stay safe 👍

I also write the number 7 the same done it for years, also can't forget eddie kidd.

😉🍻🇦🇺💨

❤❤

I’m with on all this 👍 First bike FS1e👍🇦🇺

Totally agree Ivor , it is the mental health aspect and the comradery plus the pure escapism that just seems to lift you back up and resets the mind . Excellent video brother .

Very good video Ivor. I'm not a bike man, but I could understand your passion and the love you have for bikes. You should have loads more views and likes, the videos are really well done and interesting, and I love the POV from the saddle. Keep up the good work, and continue with the videos.

Under a minute i seen it ivor

would you be able to do a video about suspension set up on these motorcycles ? Many thanks. I would really appreciate it

Just bought myself one of these. Please keep up with the videos! I am very appreciative of your help thus far.

Hello ivor

Looked incredible Ivor

Much quicker, and simpler than I thought. Cheers.

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Subbed & 👍9

Stunning .

Use compressed air, with a blow gun, to inflate the grip and remove it (or insert it). Lubricant should not be used as some grips, particularly accelerator, require glue.

I bought one of these, loved it, sold it to buy something else. Went into a garage to buy a Triumph America, it was mint but sounded meh 😑 i spotted a dilapidated Red VTR in the corner, bought it, fixed it, cleaned it, love it 🏍️🙂

Really enjoying your vids Ivor, despite the fact that I have practically zero knowledge of bikes 😂

That will make a canny bike for some one Ivor . The fuel light was making me anxious 🤣🤣👍

Hi Ivor I’ve got the 1260s multi for four years and it’s had the same issue as yours, and the only issue I’ve got with it is the hill hold, it releases after about ten seconds instead of when you pull away, I done the same tour as you last year and it was brilliant I’m not selling mine anytime soon,keep yours and enjoy 👌🏻💯🍺

It is a nice bike Ivor , does it do more than the little Benelli?. Would have wet my pants laughing if that had been a funeral 😂😂😂. Great video thanks brother 👍👍

First! 😁

Thank you for your thoughts. I took one for a test and I really liked it. There was only 2 things that held me back. I normally only buy Japanese as I believe they have the best product. Better built, better resale value, cheaper parts, cheaper for a mechanic to work on, and the main thing all mechanics will work on them. When I rode it the thing was shaking pretty bad at the bars. It would numb my hands after 30 minutes I would guess. It would probably get better after the first service but I couldn’t risk that. That being said by all the reviews it seems a great bike. It’s a personal thing and so each to their own.

I buy and sell Cat N write off vehicles. Usually they are well looked after vehicles right up to the point of collision. Then they are left out in the rain and bikes suffer due to this. Once repairs are done - there is NO difference to tell a Cat anything and a non-cat anything. The only difference is the global top 1% who own insurance companies. YOU pay THEM a massive premium. YOU make a claim and they make YOU suffer AND the vehicle ha to suffer too. Its such a scam. Most vehicles have had some form of accident damage. Even brand new stuff gets damaged and repaired from the ferry. The difference is simply down to whether of not the scammer top 1% have had to dip into their pockets. think about it for a minute.... what is THE TRUE difference between a privately repaired vehicle or a bodyshop (maybe same bodyshop) via insurance? The ONLY difference is top 1% involvement. And they will sting you for it. All these claims companies and hire charges all add to the pot and its just a silly game. Buy a damaged vehicle - repair it PROPERLY and it's perfect all over again.

What was the name of the company again I'm looking at Copart but keeping my options open cheers for the vids

Love this road, its used by Harrys Garage and my go to on a sunny day! I have Trident 900, give us a shout if you want to do a ride out
