Hello lovely People on this Planet!
With these words, I'd like to welcome you to my 'YT' Channel. I have lived in Germany for many years. I have a real and solid passion for motorcycles or it might just be madness! Anyhow, I have been driving them all my life! A regular post or two a week is my goal to keep you all entertained and happy.
Riding Motorbikes became a passion at an age of 10. Since then, I've not lost the passion. In fact, I know that I never will! Motorcycling, gives me the feeling of being young and free. It does not have to be a road trip across Europe to fix my mind. A little run out a few miles down the road, will do it for me too!
Riding a motorcycle helps me survive the world around me, and the ups and downs in life!
I hope this works as well for you, as it does for me!

It is weird at the start gettining used to the E-Clutch, however I found it really great after a while! I definately think this bike is value for money at under just 10K Euros. Brakes and suspension are in the middle class, but ...

This is the bike I did my mod 1 test on. Mod 1 in the uk is the large carpark course with avoidance/emergency stop/ slalom/figure 8 etc. was a good bike to do test on. Had to for obvious reasons disable the eclutch to do test with.
The new triumph tiger 800 looks like the perfect bike/ all rounder 👍
12/12/24. Well, things have changed huge. We’ve got labour in (Starmer🤬). I disagree with you on Trump. He to me is exactly what America (and the world) need. My opinion of course….. definitely love getting out on my cbf600.
No worries. You are welcome to your choice on Trump.
I passed my big persons test this year @ 54yo. Wish I’d done it sooner. Anyway, went straight ahead and bought a 2005 cbf600. It’s nothing special however as it’s my first big bike and I live on a small island ( Isle of Wight) it’s a perfect runaround bike ❤️. Ride safe my fellow biker. Shiney side up 😉
Viel Spaß und Freude mit deinem neuen moped! Hast du deine cbf noch? Hab meine verkauft 🙈 Gruß eddy
hi Eddy. Danke. Ich liebe mein R9T. Es ist ein schönes Bike! Ja mein CBF is noch da aber komme Sommer werde ich es (vielleicht) verkaufen. Gruss Joe
Yo hubiera sacado otro dedo. Hermosa moto. Auténtica, sin distracciones, para motoristas.
I love it ❤💨
Hi dude , im Irish guy in Finland , bought a ntv650 here , 1100 €, i assume your irish, do you live in germany ?
Hija Mark. Yeah I live in Germany and I am Irish. How is Finnland? Dark?
I would like to thank you VERY much for taking your time to do this review and make this video. It really helped me make up my mind on this bike. In fact, I bought a brand new one today, and after my first 100 miles I am absolutely in love with it. It seems to be the perfect sports type bike for "old" men (which I qualify as...haha), Again, thanks and God bless you!
Hi mate, just a question. I am making a custom build using this bike as a platform and I was wondering what the max tyre with would be with the stock wheels and swing arm. In had some people say I could use 160-60 and 120-60 as the max width so and increase in 1cm in width but is it possible?
Sorry Mate for the late response. To tell you the truth I really don’t know!
Did the usb come on your bike standard or did you build that on yourself?
I put a USB socket on myself
You can hear that engine rattling away on tickover.. shite!
Keep an eye on the underside of the swinging arm near the engine, as they are rot prone, and not easily replaced.
Mine was burgundy
i just bought one as my first larger bike, i am so excited, thank you for the review
The GB500 TT is not black but dark green. The TT stands for Tourist Trophy. Formule1 color is Racing Green.
Great looking bike, it's a credit to you, enjoy! 😎
thanks
I don't get it. This has the motor from the cbr600 but loses like 30 horsepower and gains 100 pounds. I'll just stick to the 2001-2006 fuel injected cbr600 with the long single seat for touring comfort.
Well it's more upright ergonomics, better mpg and added weight for them windy days. It's not as premium as the CBR but you save in tire, fuel and maintenance cost is used for longer range commuting. I love the fact it's a boring cheap commuter, it means you can have another bike for the weekend
Good luck on the restoration and performance! I got one, and I love her to death!
I always put in the ad the price is firm in cash no trades or payments. I wouldnt have even dealt with the last guy. It's 4 years old with 20k the price is 18,000. Buy it or dont.
Thanks. I need that attitude now!
Nice review 👍🏻
Thanks
Ich kann nur zustimmen ! Die Honda CBF 600 PC43 ist gerade mein drittes Motorrad geworden. Ich habe seit 2022 meinen FS Klasse A und bin von einer Kawa Vulcan S auf die VN 900 und schlussendlich auf die Honda CBF 600 umgestiegen. Ein Traum! Meiner Meinung nach handelt es sich dabei um die "Eierlegende Wollmilchsau" ! 100% Alltagstauglich Günstig in Anschaffung und Unterhalt Spaßig beim Fahren entspanntes Cruisen dank 4 Zylinder Niedrige Sitzhöhe (einstellbar!)
Selling anything these days is a huge test of patience!! They all act like they are mechanics and basically want to get the thing for free, going through great lengths to find anything they can use against you to scrape off a couple hundred bucks. Good for you for keeping your foot down and not succumbing to the idiocracy of such people.
Hi Joe , the world is full of tossers
How are you doing Declan?
@@PutOnYourLid all good with me , been buying a few nostalgia bikes recently Dt175( shocked how slow it is) and RGV 250 , ( it’s not slow😂) We need to arrange a bit of a road trip All the best
Great video, I look forward to seeing your progress on both bikes, I own an old xj 600 myself (Satin Black 😎) for over 35 years, I think about parting with it, & then I ride it & decide to keep it for another while, 🤣
Good to see you back. Nothing better than a ride out to release those gremlins and let your thought process just do what it needs too. I do agree that the world has gone potty. Politicians are a joke aren't they you could not trust a one it's all about the money honey haha. Ride safe and get out a bit more and enjoy. 👍
Cheers and Thanks for your kind words.
Great you are back!
Thanks friend
Glad to see you're still enjoying that CBF! Such reliable and great bikes. Whenever I feel down I drive for a bit. It gives you time to think and learn to do that while focusing on other stuff (like traffic). It also helps while commuting, it's a nice closure of the workday and let all stress from glide off from you. Great vid, thanks! (By the way: all modular helmets are noisier than full face closed helmets. HJC has this issue too).
I love the comfort of opening the helmet up to get some fresh air. I might consider a closed helmet for more peace though. Thanks for your input
@@PutOnYourLid Oh yes, same here! And it's more convenient for us with glasses as well, since we don't have to fiddle with getting them off and sliding them into the helmet ;) Love them, I'll take the bit of noise with some good earplugs.
New bikes are boring as f*CK injection systems and euro emissions have taken all the character out of them, you enjoy working on bikes so go get yourself a proper classic For the price of those new bikes you can get yourself something really amazing like an RD400 or similar Light, easy to use, way more fun and something you can enjoy working on and be proud of
You could be reading my mind! Let's see. I 'll be testing a few bikes in June. Thanks for your input.
Hi Joe I feel your pain. I have suffered with spondylitis of the lower spine for many years. I had a similar mri scan and the option of an operation with the inherent risks. I decided against the operation for the same reasons as yourself that was 10 years ago. I’m still riding motorcycles are my life like yours and I’ll go on doing it until I’m unable too. My latest bike and most probably my last is a cbf600n the naked version. I’ve gone full circle started with my 1st big bike 45 years ago a Honda cb550 four. I suffered a major heart attack 2 years ago, and have chronic heart disease. But I’m not letting the back pain or the extreme fatigue stop me from throwing a leg over my motorcycles. They are like a little piece of heaven. The total focus they require when riding always makes me feel normal as the distraction means I don’t feel quite so much pain. So please keep on riding as much as you can they are a great way to alleviate your pain. Best wishes Andy.
Looks great! Could you add links to the cleaning products used on the description?
I cannot remember, but I love the sonax and Muc-Off products. 3M for Polish
I was looking at used bikes, but couldnt afford what i actually want. Then i saw this model from 2007 for a good price, and started to do some research on it. I found your videos and I have to say, they are really good and you really made me wanna look closer at this bike. Today i went and had a look at it, and took it for a ride. I have to say that, it really has something to it. It was a joy to ride it. It was so easy riding it, and somehow i felt that i was really in control of this bike. The engine is running smooth and nice, and the seating position is pretty good. I only have a couple of things to point out. The original seat is a little to hard, at least for my bum. It is okay for shorter trips, but i wouldnt wanne go for a 500 km trip on it. That is a minor thing, since you can always install a comfort seat instead. The other thing is, that i actually missed some power from it. Maybe it is because i am used to bigger engines form mu previous bikes. I will probably end up buying this bike because it was actually really enjoyable to ride. With a new seat i could see my self use it for both shorter and longer trips. But If i could affort it, i would go for the 1000 ccm.
Hello there. What was the fuel consumption like?
I didn't have it long enough to check the fuel consumption. A modern twin will expect to do really well though!
Frustration i know about 😅
Good to see you back and healthy
Thanks for sticking with me.
Probably one of the best sounding motorbikes out there even with a stock exhaust
That is true mate. I love it!
My man, please watch over your adress. You almost leaked you Adress while throwing that DHL Label at the camera.
Thanks! i got Luckey!
Hi Joe - Chris from Switzerland. Bought a R1300GS and will go again to the BMW Centre in Hechlingen - fancy joining?
Hi Chris. I didn’t plan it but wouldn’t say no. When are you going? Have you booked?
What’s the new GS Like? I am tempted to
@@PutOnYourLid the new GS is amazing, expensive but very, very good. Agile, loads of torque, excellent off road , touring or in the twisties.
fantastic
Thanks John.
Beautiful vid. The bike sounds hefty! Good touring option.🤔

Thank you for the video! Just a minor critique: you should treat her gentle till the oil and engine is warm. Your behavior is exactly the reason why I am having trouble with getting a “Vorführer”. 😔 But anyway, thank you again for the video! It helped me on my purchasing thoughts in general. Have a great day!
i was so gentle with it!

I am not too sur what you mean with plural? Maybe you could explain. Thanks

I cant remember saying RPMS. What Video was that. thanks for correction if I did!
Thanks Dale. Lots of good Luck with the Bike.
Not good when you are in pain, and you can clearly see it in your face (unless that was wind) IM joking. I have suffered most of my working life with back problems I was diagnosed with stuff I cant even spell as well as spinal stenosis. But do what you know and what you love until you cant do no more that is all you can ask of your self knowing you have done your hardest..Cherish those bikes forever all the best 👊👍
Thanks for that. I am better now after 4 Months of Pain and terrible discomfort.

Thanks for the review, i really like the look of this bike and it gets great reviews from all that have ridden it.
Great Bike to ride. It doesnt really have a lot of character, but it is very very good
I have the road attack 4 on my H2SX and I cant fault them. I toured southern Ireland on them and they were awesome. Great grip and great feedback.
Andy. I've heard that the new Metzlers are good but I have the road attacks on 2 of my Bikes now as they are incredable, especially in the wet. I lost confidence in the wet as I had 3 spills in my years and all in the wet! The Conti Roads have really boosted my wet confidence.
Love my 2002 cbf, done 60,000 miles on it, now 95k on clock. Thankfully they seemed to have avoided the attention of the 'cafe racer converters'.
It's just run in! great Bike
