  • Episode 1. The idea behind A Motorcycles Tale is to do a more practical review of different motorcycles. I do not want to tell you the tyre size, the seat height, what is on the visual display, or an in-depth analysis of the engine size of the bike. This is what other channels do and they do it well.
    I will demonstrate and give my honest opinion on what the bike is like to ride. How does it handle U-turns. Can it stop quickly in an emergency. Can it get to 60 kms/h quickly (37 m/h) and is it fun to do so.
    If you have a suggestion of something to add to the review that other motorcycle reviewers don't do please let me know!
    If you have a bike you want reviewed I will try my very best to do so as soon as I can!
    Please bear with me as I learn to improve my filming and vocal skills. I have more tests already in mind and more camera ideas! I just need to save to buy the drone!

    Any Yamaha with the 225cc engine is a joy; they could have put that in a milk crate with wheels and it would be undeniably great. Thank you for the video!

      This was my bike for my work... This bike made my life so easy.... To replace it was a hard decision and I almost didn't do it.... But I needed to and so it had to be done... But this will always be one of my favorite smaller motorcycles!

    The Scorpio ticks most of the boxes for what I want in a bike. I just wish it had a bigger engine. I need something to get around town, but will want to travel inter city on occasion. I don't want to be going full throttle just to keep up with motorway traffic and holding up traffic on hills. The scorpio otherwise looks like exactly what I'd like. I do like the fact it has a kick start. It's always nice to have a backup in case the battery fails.

      Yep... I owned the Scorpio in that video for 10 years. An amazing bike... An amazing bike for learners or experienced riders... With the correct cogs on it, it can do 120 to 125kms an hour no worries... And yes I 1000% agree the kick start is an excellent thing for a back up... I wish more bikes did it!

    Congrats on the new channel Donald! Best of luck in the future☺ How about reviewing an old iron head 1000cc Sportster, I'd like to see your take on my first bike. I think you need an Insta360 X3 camera to help with the videos.

      I have a Harley Street 500 and a Harley Fatboy (I think, I'll confirm that) coming up for review. Many of the much older Harleys are harder to get here than where you are from!

    So Does anyone have any guesses on what the next motorcycle is in the whats that motorcycle?
    Let me know in the comments below.
    Now apologies the next episode is delayed by 1 week due to me making some changes with filming and waiting on a new camera. But I will have an extra short to go up so there will still be something for you to watch =-) and then the new bike will be out for you to see =-)
