    I wish they made a 600 version that would soak up the autobahn and motorway speeds and loaf about at between 50 to 80mph

      Hello Trevor, a 600 version would be a great bike wouldn’t it? 😀

    Looks like a good ride out Dave 👍🏍️😎 Sad to see Skellerns Kawasaki that you passed has now closed down along with Ducati Worcester! On top of MC Mart Kidderminster and Streetbike recently, hard times for dealers 😕

    • @MerciaMoto
      @MerciaMoto  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks Billy glad you enjoyed the video 😀 Awful what’s happened to Completely Motorcycles and our beloved Skellerns. Our friend Gary works there and we’re keeping everything crossed that something positive might come of it. We’re waiting on a further update. It really hits home when a friend is affected by what’s happened. It’s definitely not a good time to be a bike dealer ☹️

    Great video. I have a rebel red also! Would love your thoughts on the fly screen and touring seat. I’m 6’ tall. Right now the airflow is strong, but clean. Does the fly screen do a good job or does it create a lot of turbulence and bounce your helmet around? As far as the seat goes, I find the stock seat comfortable. What made you switch to the touring seat and how is it different?

    • @MerciaMoto
      @MerciaMoto  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hello, apologies for delayed response and thank you for watching and leaving a comment 🙏🏼 The fly screen and seat are purely aesthetics for me. I haven’t noticed any perceivable difference in wind protection from the screen and don’t experience any bouncing of my helmet. Although as I say the seat upgrade was for aesthetics, it is slightly taller and definitely firmer than the standard seat, it’s very comfortable on long rides and the top surface has a grippy texture so sliding isn’t an issue. Hope I’ve answered your questions? Cheers 😀👍🏻

    Enfield (not 100% decided on model) is definitely on my list of vehicles to consider as most of my riding is on country lanes.
    Can I ask if the Hunter now seems slow after doing quite a bit on the Guerrilla?

    • @MerciaMoto
      @MerciaMoto  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hello and thank you for the comment. Based on the roads we seek out, the Hunter doesn’t really feel particularly slower. The real difference lies in that you the Guerrilla is built for spirited riding. The Hunter likes to take you for a ramble whilst the Guerrilla wants to play 😀👍🏻
