Wow, 10 years. I remember I'd just left my girlfriend, moved to my new pad and was watching your vids sitting on a blow up... chair 😉 I think yours was the first channel I subbed to. Your vids got me through a difficult time Chris and I still love them. Glad to see her back... enjoy!
10 years.. A decade.. holy shit. I remember when I started watching your videos Chris. I was like 23, newly single and I didn't even own a bike back then. Although I'd always wanted one. I remember binge watching all your videos, you ranting your way to and from old London town was hilarious! So much has changed in my own life since then, good to look back and appreciate it. I did a solo trip in 2018 to Barcelona to watch the F1, stopped in Paris for 3 nights beforehand and did a load of cycling tours, winebar tour, art museum tours, I met loads of people mainly *because* I was on my own, people in the groups were asking me where I was going next etc. and how cool it was to travel on your own, totally your own schedule. It taught me not to be scared of trying it and that I *can* depend on myself and that I am a half decent mechanic when needed. So I now understand why you did your solo trip, I got a lot out of mine.

Good memories and I will do it again but I have more friends now who always want to come on trips with me and they don't get why I'd go alone.. I always just tell them to try it and then they'll get it. Love your videos Chris and the walking in the morning. Thanks for all the laughs over the years. Please keep doing it.
The Tour De Baron series is how I found your channel, and what made me an instant fan of yours. I can’t wait to see the 10 year reunion to Barcelona. Also, it would be awesome to see the old Suzuki freshened up a bit. She deserves some love and attention. Thanks for all the amazing videos, Chris.
cannot believe i’ve been watching bvg for a decade! this bike has so many memories attached even for me can only imagine how many you must have. very glad to see it back
Chris, having experience of still having my 1st "proper" bike that I did "everything" on (I bought it in 1999 new and still have it, it's been "most places", it's now my 2nd bike and semi-retired), I'd say leave it standard (fix the rear shock/clutch switch etc. obvs), so it retains the character that you bought it back for! :)
Im doing the same. CBR954.. bought a second one when the first died. Second one's mint, staying stock and mint. First one -> complete borderline street legal rebuild/mods.
Glad to see you came back with a fresh outlook. Just get the shock done and leave it as is., nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia. I'm pretty sure you could think of something to moan about on a ride into London without our help👍
Love the rant video’s. Best one was I think it was a BMW and you called it a Dumble door or Gryffindor c-hunt 🤣 proper went into one I don’t think I have ever laughed so much I was crying 🤣. Congrats on getting the gsxr back 👏👏.
Awww BVG and Chopsey, what a combo! Chris I’d love you to talk about how we find ourselves in a climate of not being able to ask anyone a question without getting made to feel you’re attacking them and why no one is allowed an opinion unless it conforms.
This bike brings out many memories about your videos. I remember what you were going through 10 years ago and now looking back, it is impressive to see how well you handled all those ups and downs in your life. Thanks for keeping us around through all of it.
Please never change this bike or yourself. Been on your journeys since the start..That bike is as big of a reason as the entertainment you bring. Well done Chris.
Early Baron on the Gixer coincided with me moving away from the UK. I binge watched all your videos to reminisce all those lovely twisty back roads around Alton. And the epic moaning and rants were a bonus, thank you.
Outstanding, sir, glad she's back. Watched this bike through the good old pre-nutty/COVID world, early 2k13 was when I first subbed to BVG. The old gal still seems to bring out the best in you, too! Be well, Christophé.
I keep coming back to this video, watched about 4 times now, its like a bit of time travel - back to watching your off road sesh cira 9 years ago (for me)
I’ve just come back to your vids after ages. Didn’t realise you were still going. I remember the old green lane incident, and also how good your vids are
This has set me of on a bit of a tour of your back catalogue! I do love that Euro trip that started in the snow. I am thrilled you're contemplating an anniversary trip.
The OG bike is Back with the Legendary Baron. Keep it cool and old school. Enjoy it for what it is. I enjoy your videos and good to see your doing well.
Highly nostalgic Baron. The green lane vid is stuff of legend and the tour de baron series are still up there with the best trip vids on TH-cam. Feels like I’ve been watching your channel for ages, I guess 10 years is ages!
Awesome, so glad to see its back. I am still on my K7 750 at 41,000 miles :) Mine also has battle scars but love it to bits. Keep thinking, sell it.... don't sell it...sell it.....don't sell it.....
Your adventures on this bike is what got me to get my licence about 10 years back, and I have never stopped riding. Keep it as-is and simply enjoy the goodness
So glad to see the gsxr is back. Such an iconic bike of the channel. Fell in love with bikes way back when the gsxr was in it's prime here, watched the Barcelona trip over and over, now I have my own bike to enjoy. Glad to see I'm not the only one who has started riding after watching your great content. Love my 22 street triple RS .
Do not cut the footage with no sound it is great to just watch riding in new scenery ,also a series on rebuilding/renewing the front end/shocks on the mighty GSXR would be a interesting watch for many with older bikes,surely some manufacturer/supplier would support it ? You could do a before & after track day &/or longer ride ,tour to show the difference as too many put up with handling issues on older bikes instead of sorting it. Great to have you back & where did that 10yrs go ???You do not give yourself enough credit ,that bike talk you did about depression on the ride into London all those years ago was life changing for me & a couple of mates l showed it too.Bloody good stuff
I haven’t watched a video in a minute, came back to see if you’d put up any new content recently and first video is this beauty back. I remember watching videos of you on this bike when i was back in uni. We’re getting old boys.
Wow, what a throwback! You were the first motorcycle TH-camr I discovered back when I started thinking about getting a motorcycle one day in college. I've been riding for 7 years now and it's quite refreshing to see the GSX-R again after all this time!
I started watching the channel 10 years ago shortly before doing my CBT, and this bike is the reason why I bought a K7 1000 when I passed my full licence. Sold it a couple of years ago and regret it massively!
About to buy a Gsxr 1000 again after getting rare ended 5 years ago, wasn't too bad of an accident. They always have this warm fuzzy home feeling to them for me.
Yes, yes and yes! I’m loving this resurgence! Fellow gixxer bro here(k5) and I remember watching your commute videos all those years ago. I’m looking forward to both series you’ve mentioned! Also, how about a commute to London on the k7 talking about the status of 44 teeth. A behind the curtain look as it were. Definitely sort out the suspension, and have you added steel brake lines yet? Those will help the brakes.
Never seen any of your videos before, happily watching this one and as soon as you said you love the endurance bikes, especially Suzuki endurance bikes I hit the sub. Great content, highly enjoyable!
Good to see you back Baron. Don't do anything to the GSXR apart from fix and refurb. She's been good to you for a lot of miles and served you well. Give her something back and bring her up to great fettle again. Lovely to see her back in your life. As with others, this is the bike I got to know you on and it's an indelible part of your life I think.
this is the model i liked most from the gsxr1000 series.... it's so sharply aerodynamic 🧐.... i love this model, will buy it here in India next year....
Tour de Baron was fantastic!!! subbed to your channel because of that series. So glad the GSXR is back and you are planning to conmemorate the Tour! Hope you are doing well!
Happy you got the Suzuki back. There is something special about older non electronic stuff bikes. As my second bike (now) I have a 2000 ZX12R that I rebuilt and did a ton of upgrades to, rides like a sweet and naughty dream... I do love my V4S but the ZX12R is just another kind of animal..
Ah, did this make me smile. I love jumping on my old 1st gen ZX10R, listen to the airbox noise and toodle along in top gear.. and break out in a giggle when it revs out in second or third gear. Fucking hell, I remind myself then, these old bikes are still so fast. Great having you back!
As soon as I saw the GSX thumbnail, the green lane episode, the London traffic with the narrow bridge and folding in the mirrors vlogs memories came back.👍
That Barcelona trip gave me the urge to get into bikes myself. Few years later I did something similar, and 10 years later I'm still here. Can't wait for the sequel. Cheers Chris
On the question of the green lane. What made that film so compelling was the subtle spooky music that almost imperceptibly swelled up the further you got down the track.
So happy to see this bike with you. And whatever you do to it, please don't change how it sounds. It's just so pleasing to hear the sounds from that bike!
This is bringing a tear to my eye, Baron. I crashed my bike in 2016 and just getting round to revisiting some of you old youtube chaps. Cheers on getting the Gixxer back in the stable.
Must say, its good to have you back doing these vids!, I have missed them over the last few years! Listening to your recent blogs on depression and anxiety, I could not help but relate, i find it stops me from doing lots of things and i overthink everything, to the point i usually bail. Bikes are my passion and riding certainly helps get the gremlins out of the brain ha...... so thanks for sharing a little bit of what you have had to contend with and sharing some tips. I think the GSXR needs all the love now shes back. She did you proud and deserves something special! maybe after the green lane!! Keep em comin! cheers :)
After watching baron for 10 years I am finnaly getting my full licence
He inspired me to get a licence a year ago as well. Good luck!
Well done babe
Great, you will love it.
Same! Started watching when I was 13-14, 24 now and I have my final exam in november
@@johanannema6813 haha same! my last test is 26th September

its a pretty big part of my bike life too :)
Me too! This channel and that bike is what made me get my arse in gear and get off a Scooter onto a big bike!
Same, I learnt to ride and bought a bike because of the Euro Tour videos. Can't believe that was nearly 10 years ago!

Same for me

cannot believe i’ve been watching bvg for a decade! this bike has so many memories attached even for me can only imagine how many you must have. very glad to see it back
I think we can all agree it's always nice to be back on an old friend.
Im still running the Drift Ghost HD I bought because of you. The video is still fine and the twisting lens is still one of the best designs .
Takes an experienced hand on the throttle to hold a steady 44mph like that, no matter what.
hahahahaha,....
Chris, having experience of still having my 1st "proper" bike that I did "everything" on (I bought it in 1999 new and still have it, it's been "most places", it's now my 2nd bike and semi-retired), I'd say leave it standard (fix the rear shock/clutch switch etc. obvs), so it retains the character that you bought it back for! :)
100% same deal with my 89 CBR600, Matt!
Im doing the same. CBR954.. bought a second one when the first died. Second one's mint, staying stock and mint. First one -> complete borderline street legal rebuild/mods.
@@vpweber My '89 CBR600 was one of my most favourite bikes ever! Shame it got stolen from outside work in 1995... might still have it otherwise... :(
Now all we need is a video of you filtering in London and I'll be full on warm and fuzzy nostalgic.
So this is basically 18min 47s of watching a man fall in love with a machine all over again: love it!
Glad to see you came back with a fresh outlook. Just get the shock done and leave it as is., nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia. I'm pretty sure you could think of something to moan about on a ride into London without our help👍
Great to see the K7 back, although shocking omission of not going for the ultimate throwback with a Double BLOODY Decker!
The off roading video was the first one of yours I saw. Can’t believe it was 10 years ago. Double bloody decker!!
Love the rant video’s. Best one was I think it was a BMW and you called it a Dumble door or Gryffindor c-hunt 🤣 proper went into one I don’t think I have ever laughed so much I was crying 🤣. Congrats on getting the gsxr back 👏👏.

I've sold so many bikes that I would love to buy back, I can genuinely feel your happiness at getting the green-lane gixxer back! Congrats Chris!
I watched many hours of you on this bike trundling around London, and that lovely European tour. Glad you got the old girl back.
Mannnn, haven't seen your vids in forever! Missed your content as it was always down to earth, high quality, fun videos!

I took my license and bought a gsxr 600 k8 after watching your videos many many years ago. I miss that bike 😓
During lockdown all my wife heard was this theme tune. I back to back watched everything, such wonderful times lol
Even just the Bvg intro music makes me smile, never change Chris 👊
I keep coming back to this video, watched about 4 times now, its like a bit of time travel - back to watching your off road sesh cira 9 years ago (for me)
This is the equivalent of a warm cosy blanket on a frosty morning. Happy days 😊
always great to have a reset. Its great for the trinity of mind, body and soul. Thank you for the video and upload! Great to see hear you, again.
I’ve just come back to your vids after ages. Didn’t realise you were still going. I remember the old green lane incident, and also how good your vids are
Your vids on this bike 10 years ago, was the reason I got a bike. THANK YOU for being YOU 💙
I've owned my 1993 FireBlade from new, so I know where you're coming from. So many good good memories. 😊👍
Top video. Thanks.
That opening music with a view of the Gixxer takes me back! 😄👍
this bike & videos was one of the main reasons I gave up catching the train and got a bike licence to commute 10+ years ago, thanks for the times man
This has set me of on a bit of a tour of your back catalogue! I do love that Euro trip that started in the snow. I am thrilled you're contemplating an anniversary trip.
Love stories like this. You definitely sound recharged after Europe too, good to hear!
The OG bike is Back with the Legendary Baron. Keep it cool and old school. Enjoy it for what it is. I enjoy your videos and good to see your doing well.
I cannot begin to explain how much joy the first 30 seconds of this video gave me
It’s F’kn great to see you back on that bike, you’re an inspiration to us all. Keep it up
You tube is full of utter beige!! ,
"Baron "and "44 stuff "are a breath of fresh air ❤️
Green lane video got me in to motorcycles and I’ve had one ever since watching that, working up from a 125 to a 1000cc and back down to a 765cc
I just laughed out loud at the idea of re-visiting the green lane! Glad you have her back. Love the video, love the Baron back to old skool content.
Highly nostalgic Baron. The green lane vid is stuff of legend and the tour de baron series are still up there with the best trip vids on TH-cam. Feels like I’ve been watching your channel for ages, I guess 10 years is ages!

10 years ago you got me into motorcycling which has become an all life consuming passion. Thank you!

Gotta love how it still has all the warning stickers on it, 1st thing I rip off when I buy a bike
