Hey back again haha I just love this look of the bike. If you have time could you make a video just a quick 2 min one of a walk around of this bike? Would be so grateful thanks bro
I had a bunch of GoPro cameras, but that was a waste of money. I tried Sony action camera for a change and loved it. I'm using Sony FDRX3000/W and I does have simple line-in, so you can use any external mic with it. It's really easy to use and the accessories for the camera from Sony are much better quality.
Hi! Thanks for the video! Will you recommend this bike as a first bike? I have already pass my MSF course in Bulgaria and I have a full license but don't want to spend money and time for 300cc class and outgrow it after 6 months. I’m 34, 185 cm and 83 kgs, mature and not a wild head. I know that in urban mode the power is 75 HP but how is the torque….does it reduce the torque as well…my fear is that the bike has a lot torque and could catch me off guard as a new rider. Is it good at low speeds or the throttle is jerky? I think if I keep it in Urban for several months I will be OK and at later stage could proceed with Touring. Would you please to share your two cents on the subject. Thanks in advance.
I would absolutely recommend this bike, the only thing you might want to consider is the cost of service, here in India Ducati is by far the most expensive. I basically started on this bike, you should keep it in urban or touring mode for a couple of months, always check your tyre pressure and you will be fine. In urban and touring modes the throttle is smooth (not jerky) and it rides like any smaller capacity bike. Ideally use urban in the city or in traffic and use touring on highway. I agree that 300cc bike will be a waste of money, I had a KTM RC390 and it was so damn boring. With this bike, I can promise you that you will never ever get bored, I have ridden other bikes in the same class like Kawasaki z800 and Triumph but they are not nearly as much fun as this one. I totally love it, go for it.
Sorry to intrude here but if you are a new rider and you are thinking of owning this bike go and ride it first, try out the modes and ergonomics yourself before deciding. Your height, weight and state of mind have very little to do with deciding if a bike is suitable for your skill level and there is a plethora of engine configurations and capacities around to chose from and think also what you are gonna use the bike for..best of luck.
Hey hows the Rizoma drag bar and the risers working for you ? I plan to have them on my monster 821- 2016 model.. Did you have to make any other modifications to install them ? On turns does the bar end hits the tank ?
I love this setup, you will need one special tool for one screw i think. Other than that it was simple enough for me to install myself, my handle bar from Rizoma was missing two tiny holes which were there on the stock handle and you need those for things to fit. I used a drill to make those holes and it fit properly. No modification or damage to the bike or anything like that. It doesn't hit the tank, but it might if you put the handle bar in reverse direction. There are markings on it which you should keep on top and it should be fine.
Yeah that's better, try a simpler solution first. The Rizoma drag bar is not that simple to install yourself. Mine didn't come with the tiny holes drilled into it which you need to put it together properly.
This one is not street legal but you get a different one which is legal. Like the one I got for MV Agusta, it comes with a db killed and a certificate.
There is no way to check fuel level. When the low fuel light comes on you get a counter which I'm not sure what it's counting to. I just go get fuel right away but you can drive for about 50kms after the light comes on.
Getting mine saturday. Can’t wait.!!!
Did you get it?
Great review. thank you very much
Очень басовый классный звук, и все детали смотрятся на своих местах и красиво в целом. Спасибо за обзор.
do you need a tune for the sc project slip on?
Does it make a good touring machine.?
I would say so, the vibrations in the handlebar make it uncomfortable sometimes. But it makes up for it by being super fun and exciting to ride.
@@darkrider thank u sir for answering my question
Hey dude I love those mirrors do you have a link or the name for them?
These are from Rizoma and called Reverse Retro. Here is the link www.rizoma.com/custom/mirrors/reverse-retro/en?MOTO=56614440-50462984-R
Did you change the handle bar?
Yes I did

Which city in India was this film brother??
It’s Chandigarh, Punjab, India.
Hello, nice video. What camera are you using to record this? Does it support an external microphone ? Thanks

@@darkrider Great. Will check it out. thanks a lot.
Really enjoyed this. Thank you.

Thanks man! Really appreciate it!
What about the ergonomics? With 185 cm do you think I will feel cramped?
You're welcome

Thanks Bud !
Nice bike, What about maintenance ?
It’s costly for sure, almost double the cost of servicing Honda CBR and MV Agusta here in India.
Dark Rider ok is worth it , it’s a great motorcycle, one life to live, Ride safe. 🙏🏼👍🏼
Definitely worth it, you got one life enjoy it and don’t overthink :)
Is the handling the same or better with the rizoma drag bars??
I felt like it got better, it's easier to control the bike with more of my body weight on the front tyre.
Gotcha im going to flip my handlebars and see how that feels... it’s almost same as the drag bars
If not i’ll try drag bars
Yeah that's better, try a simpler solution first. The Rizoma drag bar is not that simple to install yourself. Mine didn't come with the tiny holes drilled into it which you need to put it together properly.
How do the drag bars feel in low speed turning? Like making a right or left turn at a stop sign or traffic light??
You can't change mods with the gas engaged
Is that sc exhaust legal in europe?
This one is not street legal but you get a different one which is legal. Like the one I got for MV Agusta, it comes with a db killed and a certificate.
In uk it’s MOT discretion
hey how to check the fule level on it
There is no way to check fuel level. When the low fuel light comes on you get a counter which I'm not sure what it's counting to. I just go get fuel right away but you can drive for about 50kms after the light comes on.
the 2018 model does, along with the gear indicator
