Welcome to the channel, your ultimate destination for all things motorbikes and vans! Whether you're a seasoned rider, a van enthusiast, or just curious about the world of two and four-wheeled adventures, you've come to the right place. Join me (and probably my family) as we explore different bikes/vans, review gear, share tips for maintenance and customisation, and embark on (hopefully) memorable journeys on the open road (mmm....within Dorset mainly)!

A Vespa is the perfect beginner bike!

Having the Vespa has been a joy and has got me back on the road after almost a year away! I genuinely think everyone has room for at least one Vespa! FOLLOW me on: Instagram - bikeswithrob

I believe this bike is now for sale? I'm interested.
Hi Stuart! Yes it is. Video going up this weekend but link is here www.carandclassic.com/l/C1744156
You guys make me laugh I'm 6 10 300 lbs I went to bmw 1350 gs adventure type they said I look fine on it those lires ! Lol I took a pic and I belittled the bike so no motor cycle will suit me
Ha, a truck is your friend! 👍🏻💪🏽 unfortunately selling my bike now and heading towards a camper/truck
I took the MSF course recently at my local Harley dealer. The bike I used was a base street 500 I think. I’m 6’4” and on the first riding day my hips cramped up terribly. I felt like a circus bear on a mini-bike.
does it come with the chin guard?
Regarding the dark visor does this come with the helmet or do you have to buy it as well?
Fatbob 114
Pan America is the Harley for Tall riders
6 foot 5 . kawasaki vulcan 2000 . Really happy
I'm 6'4" 250lbs. And I am riding a 2015 Suzuki Hayabusa and it's actually quite comfortable. Not much leaning forward on this bike.
Yeah you see tons of vids with chicks riding Harleys and the comments are filled with “right on girl ” comments which is cool but. Yeah. These bikes fit them WAY better than me
Beautiful bike 🙏 id love one of these once I pass my test to elevate me from my fantastic Suzuki van van RV125.
Love this series. Watched a few Malle Rallye videos - yours give an amazing real feel for it!
That’s really kind. Thank you 🙏🏼
Hi, I am a big Swede, slightly above average, with my 6 foot 8, (202 cm) 108 kg and 36” inseam. I ride a Road king Police 2013 with a HD tallboy seat and floorboards from Pegboards floorboards in USA. Check them out! That made the bike transform from a bit cramped to supercomfortable. I also installed Heavy duty springs in the rear suspension. Long wheelbase gives you plenty of space and it is still easy to handle. I truly can recommend that concept. I suggest a roadking 2009 or later or a BMW R1200GSA 2010 or later. Both bikes are superb for riding with a pillion. BMW R 1200GSA 2010-2013 gives very much bike for the money. Good bike hunting!
Harley has several options to accomodate taller riders. Several companies make the same items, at a lesser cost, that fit many different Harley models, like CC Rider and Drag Specialties seats, and Kuryakin has several other items for taller riders.
I have a Bonneville Bobber. Overall a rather "small" bike, but that is usually the design in the retro sector. Old motorcycles were minimalist, without many add-ons. If you like such retro / cruisers or cafe racers, then you have to accept one or two peculiarities. With handlebars, seat position and controls, however, you can adjust a lot so that taller people can also ride reasonably well.
Looks great I sign up for the next rally doesn’t seem to be low cost but looks sort it
Best of luck! It is well worth the money
Very brave on increasingly deteriorating trackways. It's a great bike - with a few niggles - but what bike shines in all areas?
It’s tiny😂
It's not tiny but not the biggest
My suggestion is to keep your phone on you and charge a power bank. You might need to make a call if you part company with your bike. Heated grips are great, gloves are warmer in extreme conditions but grips are always on the bike and can be used at anytime.
Agree with you
Liked the bike park walk around, good to see the diverse mix of bikes. Looks like a great trip! Big step considering you'd only had your license a short while, good effort.
Thank you! It was quite the learning curve but brilliant fun.
My Victory Cross Country is ideal for me....6'3" 215 lb. No Harley 😊or Indian seems to compare
These look Like great value
Just bought these. I hope they are warm
How did you get on?
The problem with scooters is that they give you a false sense of safety. No one wears any gear on them
I do agree with you...
Is there any space for corecction glasses inside?
Unsure tbh. Apologies
I'm 6'6". Ducati x diavel is great especially with the adjustment in the foot pegs. The Ducati scrambler desert sled has great ergos for a tall guy.
I find that interesting as I found the x diavel a bit cramped. Felt like I was sat over the bike? Would the pegs make a difference? Perhaps, maybe I need to try.....thank you!
@@BikesVansandThings must be the pegs as I find it to be pretty comfortable and the bars a nice distance away. It's hard to go back to a sport bike or even adv bike position after riding the x.
Sportster S I'm 6'4ft 427lbs
You like it? Fits well? You have an insta handle? Would be good to see as really like that bike
Thoroughly enjoyed. I've been watching this rally every year from afar in Canada and absolutely want to take part. Came very close for the 2024 Rally but I couldn't make the financials work this year. Hoping I have a few more pence saved by next. Thanks for taking the time to share this series! And... amazing job taking part so early in your motorcycling journey!
Thanks Will! Hoping to to the Mountain Rally soon. The Uk one was well worth doing. Taking your own tent saves quite a bit. Some rode their bike back. I hope you get to experience the rally soon. All the best
Not sure if i missed it, but how tall are you?
190cm 👍🏻
@@BikesVansandThings did you ever end up sitting on the hypermotard? I’m 193cm so would fit about the same. Did you end up going with a Ducati?
Yes@@gqm5450 i liked the size but not the bike for me.Too much power. I moved to Singapore so have been on a Vespa! But soon I am sure I will be back on a proper bike...best of luck! I think you should try the hypermotard. I have also been looking at older GS as a second bike
what about an updated speedometer / tachometer? the stock one is horrendous.
I’ve kind of got used to it but I agree although not many good alternatives
Dyna superglide 12.5 shocks, 3"+ fork extension
Hola, desde España, tengo 54 años y siempre loco por las motos, hice cursos de conducción y ahora es este momento estoy pensando en comprar una varadero 125 inyección, del 2014....gracias me has ayudado mucho
Great video. Thanks👍
Thanks Alex
Racing bikes are specialy designed for big boys yes
2015 Ducati Hypermotard. You really have to be +6ft to flat foot that bike.
186cm on a rs 660, amazing fucking bike
Al rio
The Fat bob fit me the best of the models I tried out in 2019 (FatBob/StreetBob/LowRider/Slim/FXDR). I'm 6ft 4in, 220lbs. the stock seat shoves you into the tank, and the bars are too low and wide. It was ok for a while, but now I've added a Whiplash seat to set me back a couple inches, and a 14in riser/bar combo the bike is very comfortable. It's tough, manufacturers don't seem to make many bikes for tall people out of the box.
6’4” here and not related to size but I’d NEVER buy a Harley under any circumstance 😂
Oh dear. Why?
@@BikesVansandThings do some research. One of the least reliable brands. Bailed out by the Us government because they are losing tons of money. They’ll be bankrupt in less than 10 years I bet.
I am 6.1" & feeling comfy in New RE himalayan 450✌️
The new Himalayans look good! Would like to try the 650
So did you choose a Indian chief?
I moved to Singapore for a while but will be relooking at options when back in UK 👍🏻👍🏻
Classic 350
6 7. Africa Twin 1100 DCT. Perfect fit.
These bikes look great value a few years ok also 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼
Will always be.
Hows the sizing compared with the bullitt?
Size for size I think the Shoei sizes come up smaller. Don’t have them both with me to compare at the moment unfortunately
Husqvarna Norden 901 Exp.
Im 6’3” 210 lbs and my 1999 Yamaha XJR 1300 fits me nicely.
Honda fury
and due to the weight it gives you that big bike fill not like all the other bikes
the Varadero 125 is the only bike put crash bars on it beef it up aftermarket exhaust to give you a deeper sound
Beutiful
