** Folks I made an error regarding getting your unused bike Tax back - Turns out you can get it back - please no more comments on that one! Thanks for putting me straight! **
Never ridden a bike before but I'm making it my goal to own a panigale, im not hugely into sports bikes but the shapes, the power and freedom it offers has got me falling in love.
I am glad you have fallen in love! Just make sure you can truly ride on such a beautiful machine for more than 30 minutes with the difficult ergonomics of these supersport class machines.
Hello Missenden, like you i'm an 899 devotee, i liked your expression Garage Queen. I bought my 899 about same time as you - it has 10,500km on the odo. It's a good touring bike, the riding position doesn't bother me. I installed the throttle spacers, and my favourite motorbike mechanic Ethan Meyer, fabricated a removable luggage rack which is sized to hold a Kriega 30 bag + battery charger connection and USD outlet for mobile phone connection for Google Maps - so i don't get lost in the hillsa along the Laos border. For me, It's a great bike.
I put just over 600 miles on my 899 in my first year of ownership and I also plan to keep the bike. So far all I've done is change the oil and filter and all the dot 4 brake and clutch fluid. All I'm looking at now is a single seat conversion and a new 899 decal that is peeling and that's it.
Well after 4 years and I’ve just sold my 899 with 17K on the clock the trip to Ireland finished me off it was too painfully to ride after my 2nd shoulder op, I’ve got myself a hyperstrada for now which I’ll keep and hopefully get a 1299 next year to sit in the garage and look at.
I had my 899 for 4 years as well, and finally parted with it last November and replaced it with a GS Adventure. I don't regret it all, I just never got along with the bike.
Nice, considered review. Much appreciated. I have 2 classic and 2 modern Ducati and love them all. Fantastic bikes. Never had a problem with any of them either. Looking forward to a review of the new V2 - highly likely to buy one later this year...
Jay B You can sort it online though so if it's before midnight you'll be alright. Also when we bought our last car on 30th June he let us get home before cancelling it and any anpr or cops would still have it on the database as taxed. Then we taxed from July 1st. Technically naughty but isn't double taxation also so according to ...I dunno maybe the magna carta or something?!
Brilliant! Just picked up a brand new 2018 959 Panigale, and I'm anticipating the same kind of life for mine as yours. And yes, I said brand new 2018, in 2020. It was a leftover. Seems as soon as the V2 and V4 came out, having the previous variant was out of fashion. Well that's fine with me, as I got it for 62% of it's original retail price. Dealer finally needed to just move it. Be that as it may, I love your garage and your passion for lovely bikes.
Always enjoy your reviews TMF, but seriously....get that bike used!! I bought my 899 in September 2014, so it’s almost 5 years old now... After 11 rear tyres, 8 fronts, 1 set of brake pads and its 3rd chain and sprocket kit, it now has just over 24,000 miles on it !! And I’m still in love with the thing 😍! As well as the usual weekend blasts, it’s done two Europe trips and I have at least two long weekends away in the UK, probably 1,000 miles each. Only had one small problem with it, clutch master cylinder seal wore a tiny hole through it, meaning it would only hold the clutch open for about 4 or 5 seconds, try getting it back on a ferry like that!! Ducati only wanted to sell me a complete clutch master cylinder assembly for £240 !! But I managed to fix it with a KTM Brembo seal kit for just over £20 , see post no 57 in this link :- www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/alternatives-to-the-genuine-ducati-parts.594/page-3 I’ve been biking for close on 40 years now and the 899 has been probably the best bike I’ve ever had, still looks stunning after all those miles, I’m pretty anal with cleaning it so it still looks and rides like new! I expected it to be a fantastic ride, which it is, but two things I really didn’t expect were how easy it is to keep clean , comes up sparkling clean with the minimum of effort..and also it’s economy with petrol, on a weekend thrash, it’ll still turn in mid 40s mpg, on a very warm slap down a Belgian motorway.......63mpg!! That’s the only time the engine heat has troubled me, on a trip into Germany in last years heat wave, ambient temperature of about 34c in Saarbucken and the temperature gauge on the bike hit 108c going through the city centre,....couldn’t sit on the seat, ouch!! That never bothers me at home though in NE England, bike normally runs at about 86c. Would I have another 899,....in a heartbeat!! Anyone thinking of buying one, just do it, ...don’t wrap it up in the garage, use it as much as you can....the harder you ride these things, the better they feel, that’s what they were designed for,....going apeshit crazy on a nice sunny day! Can’t see me ever selling it, all other bikes just look so ugly compared to the Panigale, so I’m thinking of adding either a 1050 Speed triple RS or V4 1100 Tuono to the stable next year. Keep up the good work TMF, and get riding that 899 !!
Just traded my 899 for a 950 SP - couldn't get on with the crashing suspension on the bumpy East Yorks roads. Funnily enough I took it to the NW200 this year and touring wasn't too bad in 75 min stints.
I think we need another panivlogali video soon after watching this haha. The Panigale is one of those bikes that always gives me goosebumps, even more so when you hear them. Rare to see but always a pleasure. Glad to hear you're keeping her! 😍
love mine. took a test ride on a 899, 959,1199,1299. 899 was far more enjoyable! and the best thing you can do to it is change the sprocket! makes so much difference around the towns.. keep mine for a few years yet then a v4 🤔
Yet another very informative video TMF. Re road tax would have to disagree re losing the remainder when selling on. I recently sold one of my bikes. Registered on gov website to that affect and within a week i received confirmation that I was no longer the registered keeper and a refund of remaining road tax. I always pay one off for tax as with a few bikes, you save a few quid.
It is a thing of absolute beauty. I rode a 999 in Brighton, the first in the country, a test ride by my late mate Robbie (MCN reviewer), I felt like the King of the universe, even when I stalled it on the seafront on bikers day with hoi-poloi bikes everywhere. My advice:Get a sports bike with cruise control and ditch adventure bikes for ever.
What a beautiful bike TMF you must be so proud of owning it. I agree with you that the panigales are the best looking bikes around. I fancy a 959 panigale hopefully funds allow it next year. And like yours mine would be the garage Queen of my fleet.
@@TheMissendenFlyer the time will come. Stay safe till then and keep your excellent videos coming they're keeping a lot of people sane during these dark days 😂
Completely agree I was considering selling/trading my 959 but its just too beautiful despite a hip replacement and general aches I fitted some Gilles raised clipons and comfort seat and what a difference very comfortable now and people shouldn't think of these as the baby Panigale because they go like....er surprisingly fast.
I enjoyed mine on track, but once I got an R nineT, I stopped using the 899 for roads almost entirely and got rid of it shortly after. Hopefully the new owner is enjoying it more than I did.
Great update TMF, she is still as bonnie as ever! Didn't notice any difference in quality at all, seemed spot on to me. I only watch on an old ipad mini tho, so maybe not the best test!
That bike is fantastic. All of you're mods are exactly what I want to do to my 899 when I find the right one. Not over the top on mods, just oe plus. 😎
Garage queen,, absolutely no reason for not owning a bike that you're going to idolise with fanatical zest I do the in the garage with my bike oz wheels,, wiibers suspension,, all carbon fibre bodywork,, loads of titanium bolts and nuts arrow low boy exhaust,, wavy discs all round,, it's out a bit over the winter et all work permitting rigorous cleaning followed it's old but it's like a new bike as I maintain it well 2008 speed triple,, love the channel keep safe until we've passed through the virus keeping us sane 😁😁😉🍀🍀🍀
"Panigale" 👍🏻🙂, excuse me but it's hard enough to hear every time "Paenigaelei" (generally speaking, not in this video), at least when written it's good if it's spelled right 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😂😂 Please don't take it bad. Peace
899 with a Termi exhaust is going to easy on the eye and music to the ears The only difference with the change in camera is the slight fish eye effect on the peripherals.
Great video as usual TMF. The switch to the GoPro is noticeable but by no means takes away from the message or the enjoyment. Looking forward to some tour videos. Peace!
Still a very pretty bike. Personally I don't think the looks have dated & arguably it looks as good if not better maybe than the current version. Although like most sports bikes, you've really got to be in the mood to ride it due to it's focused nature & quasimodo riding position so I'm not too surprised you haven't done many miles on it considering the other bikes you own. Still great to have nonetheless I'm sure & perfect when your in sports mode.
I prefer the DSLR more than the go pro as far as video quality. But always enjoy the content. I think I remember the day you posted your review when the bike was new. Still good to hear what an awesone motorcycle it is. Dream bike for me...
She's a beaut...always wanted one, but never quite been able to align want with money :-(. Nice to see that you have a proper man cave, bikes, tools and beer (1:18) kept in the same place...
Great bike TMF, some bikes grab your heart and are keepers for sure!. When you have a passion for bikes the 'depreciation ' affect isn't relevant...in good condition bikes reach a plateau of value and if your lucky become classics! Remember to move it round the garage so you can admire from different angles....or am I the only one that does that...? !! Cheers, Steve
Most bikes like this are more garage ornaments than motorcycles, to put in perspective it’s costing not far off £2 every mile you ride it. A nice thing to have if you have excess cash but ultimately more suited to the track than the road. I briefly ran an R1 with my GS, did around 1000 miles on the R1 and was always thinking of reasons to take the GS instead when I went for a ride so an easy decision to get rid of the R1....looked nice though in the garage.
Morning Andy! That Duke is a lovely machine and I totally get why you have it in your collection - money no object, I’d have a “queen” to 👍 As for filming with the GoPro - nothing wrong with it, although the wide angle does give a bit of a fisheye effect, where as the DLSR is more natural. Andy 🏴
Hi, the GoPro images were fine though a bit wobbly. Pity you don't get the chance to ride it more often but at roughly £500 for 500 miles (approx) it isn't that bad cost wise.
One of those bikes that you get as much pleasure looking at it as you do riding it.. I have been known to sneak into the garage with a coffee and contemplate a ZX7R :)
Another informative video. The film quality was fine. Camara worked well. Loved the info on the Ducati. Always interested in the reliability of the beautiful Italians. Most especially over the long term.
Good luck to you on this one. I've given up on sports bikes as they're too costly to own or get nicked by the Law when you start to enjoy yourself. Adventure, dual road bikes are the way to go as they're more versatile and ageless.
Well I’m more of a retro man these days....but I do love having the Panigale in the garage just incase....infant I think I’ll give her a go later today....
Didn't notice much change in the video other than the fisheye. Keep the 899 long enough in that condition and it will probably appreciate over its original value !
You missed the blurring on the first bit where the digits go north of 62 Mph mate :) As for image quality, it was fine apart from the fish-eye effect around the edges, which all actions camera lenses do unfortunately...
Re the use of the go pro, I hadn't even realised a different camera until you mentioned it, so I looked back at the 2-year review for comparison. I prefer the darker go pro colours and I thought the sound was better that the 2-year review, although I am not sure what camera you were using then :-)
A beautiful bit of kit. A bit off topic but have you ever ridden a Triumph Daytona 675? You love your Street Triple and you love your Ducati so you will love the Daytona for sure.
For a 4 year old bike it looks absolutely brand spanking new! Well done on maintaining it! I hope one day I will own a Panigale 899/1199/1299. Hopefully before I get old and get a bad back and decide sportsbikes are not for me... :P
Have you given any thought to finding some "classic" turn of the millennium bikes and reviewing them? Would be interesting to see what you think of CBR1100XX, TL1000S, ZX12R or a Gen 1 Hayabusa. Greetings from NZ.
Bit of a “fish eye” look with the GoPro sir. You can tune much of that out in settings by going to narrow view I believe. A large number of Panigale’s end up being “garage queens”, their just made for track or short canyon carving stints....I know as I have one myself. And why not if you can afford it and have alternative motorcycles? Good information and informative video.
Not particularly a sports bike fan, but sure is a good looker. As others have said, you do get the road tax refunded for the unused months. Where it is a con though, is if you sell part way through the month you won't get refunded for those weeks and the new owner taxes from the start of that month, so the DVLA get double bubble for that month.
Hi TMF, she's a real beauty at some point would love to add maybe an 899, or slightly older 916/996 to the garage. Would love to see how you get on with a tour on this bike regards comfort on longer mileage. Thought the go-pro footage was fine 👍 Thanks TMF.
Quality of filming good did not notice it was not anything other than your normal high quality productions (still prefer cruisers, but that's cos I'm old)
Nice bike for sure. Image to me seems better with the DSLR, Gopro is good but image due to fish eye lense as always bit funny, you could get rid of that effect in post but why bother, the Gopro cam is very usefull in my opinion, been using it for years and still quite happy with it.
Never really understood engine protection. Bikes look better without it IMO! The frame sliders will stop any significant damage resulting from a drop. I'd only add the protection if the engine covers were damaged to cover it up! :)
Interesting review, and although I will never own a sports bike, I can certainly see the attraction. Small point on Road Fund Licence (tax). If you sell (or whatever) a vehicle any residual tax value is automatically calculated and refunded by DVLA.
You've been naughty here, kind Sir, " I've never had the chance to ride it in the wet yet..."... as far as I know your area is just as wet as Bristol area, or a tad bit drier but definitely have enough rain for you to play around with the puddles;))) But yes, deffo don't do it with new tyres though when it has been made for dry surfaces. I took my 0mile '08 Tenere home from the dealer when the decent rain hit, and I was sliding all over the place in corners even at low, 30-40mph speeds. They were the Metzler tyres, I think that was the standard for the XTZ Ten back i the day. Haha, I should definitely not complain about the wear of my rear tyre on the Super 10... I am changing it after 8500+miles after all year round use. Enjoy the rides!
Lovely machine.. I find as I get older they don’t get ridden as much.. the idea of having a bike in the garage always sounds good though. But with several bikes, plus testing other bikes, I suppose TMF does’nt get to put huge miles on any one bike. I’d love a Goldwing DCT to finish off my motorcycling years, but suspect it would end up being a very expensive ornament in the garage.... Don’t have the enthusiasm at 63, that I had at 21....( And in my 20’s I could’nt have afforded the Goldwing or BMW of the day, which I would have loved to have...ironic.)
TMF - noticed in the background, a spoiler on top of your GS windshield. I am considering purchasing one. Do you like it? Does it add or subtract from the buffeting? Is it the MRA clamp-on or bolt-on style? PS: I liked watching the video on your GoPro...the wide angel allowed me to also see your brilliant BMW GS.
Another great video! Very informative. Do you have any tips on cleaning the Termi’s? Yours are in an immaculate condition with no exhaust spot staining. I’m in awe 👍
Hey missenden, love your videos, did you ever end up doing the 8 year review? I found one of these near me, im thinking of getting but wanted to see if its still the same good ratings after all these years. Ride safe
** Folks I made an error regarding getting your unused bike Tax back - Turns out you can get it back - please no more comments on that one! Thanks for putting me straight! **
I was thinking that!
Me too. lol
I was just polishing up my typing fingers as I got a cheque back for a car we traded in. Have to say, I didn't know you got it back, either.
just 3600 miles lol such a funny bald shorty lol
The 899 needs more road time mate, no point owning a playboy centrefold and not having fun with her.
ahahahahahahaha
It’s funny how some people make negative comments out of jealousy... Pleasure of ownership has many facets not just high mileage 👍
I agree with that!
Agreed.
Agreed also
Yep
Too bloody right. Well said. What a sad spiteful world we live in.
Nothing wrong with having a garage queen. :) It is a beautiful bike.
Never ridden a bike before but I'm making it my goal to own a panigale, im not hugely into sports bikes but the shapes, the power and freedom it offers has got me falling in love.
I am glad you have fallen in love! Just make sure you can truly ride on such a beautiful machine for more than 30 minutes with the difficult ergonomics of these supersport class machines.
The beginning is typical Ducati owner's talks.. the joy fear and pain all in one😂😂

Yes I'd like a go on one of those to compare against my 899....
You do get a refund for the tax still left from the dvla 👍🏽 from the month you sell the bike
I didn’t realise that - thanks for putting me right!
Bob Powar Was just about to make this comment! Just they don't give partial month refunds only the nearest full one.
Only full months refunded though when that v5 hits the dvla desk
@@TheMissendenFlyer Bob's right, but you only get whole months refunded. So if you sold on 1st June, you get July onwards to end of 12 months.

Interesting review TMF. A beautiful machine. Video quality spot on from where I’m sitting.cheers. 😎👍🏍🇦🇺
Cheers Russ!
Good to know.
I'm saving for a 1299. 👍🏻
Fingers crossed you get a chance to do a small tour on this beast! Hoping to get my hands on an 899 later in the year 🤙
Yes I’d love too - though comfort would be an issue for sure...

Never get to ride my Bonnie as much as I would like . Life takes over ,family always work to do on the house etc . Done 800 miles in a year .
Tell me about it!!
I think we need another panivlogali video soon after watching this haha. The Panigale is one of those bikes that always gives me goosebumps, even more so when you hear them. Rare to see but always a pleasure. Glad to hear you're keeping her! 😍
Oh yes, while I can, I will!
love mine. took a test ride on a 899, 959,1199,1299. 899 was far more enjoyable! and the best thing you can do to it is change the sprocket! makes so much difference around the towns.. keep mine for a few years yet then a v4 🤔

Please don't take it bad.
Peace
Honestly I didn't even notice the different camera until you pointed it out at the end, slight fisheye but looks fine.
The video quality was fine, as was the audio. I must say you do have an enviable collection of bikes!
Atb,
Ben.
Cheers Ben!
899 with a Termi exhaust is going to easy on the eye and music to the ears
The only difference with the change in camera is the slight fish eye effect on the peripherals.
Thank you for posting. Great looking bike. Keep enjoying it in good health.
Great video as usual TMF. The switch to the GoPro is noticeable but by no means takes away from the message or the enjoyment. Looking forward to some tour videos.
Peace!
Plenty more tours to come this year...stay tuned!
100 less per year?!! That bikes going to be a classic very soon. Keep it!
I intend to!
Quality with the GoPro is great. Only thing I would say is change from the super wide setting. It’ll get rid of that horrible fish eye effect.
Still a very pretty bike. Personally I don't think the looks have dated & arguably it looks as good if not better maybe than the current version. Although like most sports bikes, you've really got to be in the mood to ride it due to it's focused nature & quasimodo riding position so I'm not too surprised you haven't done many miles on it considering the other bikes you own.

Exactly right RR!
Great video. If I could choose I’d go back to the slr rather than the GoPro for the garage stuff. Just my 2 pence.
Cheers Alex!
Quality of image still ok, but as always excellent content, one of the best motorcycle channels on you tube
Thank you Ian....

When you have a passion for bikes the 'depreciation ' affect isn't relevant...in good condition bikes reach a plateau of value and if your lucky become classics! Remember to move it round the garage so you can admire from different angles....or am I the only one that does that...? !! Cheers, Steve
No I do that to...and roll it out just for a look!
Most bikes like this are more garage ornaments than motorcycles, to put in perspective it’s costing not far off £2 every mile you ride it. A nice thing to have if you have excess cash but ultimately more suited to the track than the road.
I briefly ran an R1 with my GS, did around 1000 miles on the R1 and was always thinking of reasons to take the GS instead when I went for a ride so an easy decision to get rid of the R1....looked nice though in the garage.
Sadly you’re dead right - but I’ll be holding onto the Panigale for as long as I can - it’s a beautiful thing....
Morning Andy! That Duke is a lovely machine and I totally get why you have it in your collection - money no object, I’d have a “queen” to 👍
As for filming with the GoPro - nothing wrong with it, although the wide angle does give a bit of a fisheye effect, where as the DLSR is more natural.

Cheers for the feedback Andy and thanks for watching!
You should do a track day on it, that would make a good episode of TMF.
There’s already at least two track day episodes of me on this bike published!
I like this quality! Carry on like this
Thank you will do...
Hi TMF, Sound and picture quality absolutely great
you certainly love your San Pelegrino's, your Beck's too. Love them both too, in fact, Cheers!
Hi, the GoPro images were fine though a bit wobbly. Pity you don't get the chance to ride it more often but at roughly £500 for 500 miles (approx) it isn't that bad cost wise.
Love to see a few more videos of the 899 got to be my fav bike the TMF garage
One of those bikes that you get as much pleasure looking at it as you do riding it.. I have been known to sneak into the garage with a coffee and contemplate a ZX7R :)
Another informative video. The film quality was fine. Camara worked well. Loved the info on the Ducati. Always interested in the reliability of the beautiful Italians. Most especially over the long term.
Lovely bike and you are a lucky man. Have many safe miles with her. I am more of an I4 Jap bike guy, but I can see a Ducati's attraction.
Great video. Video quality is great. The colour tone was more natural looking from my prospective.
The quality of your video is great 👍🏻
Quality was just as good on the go pro.👍🏻
Good luck to you on this one. I've given up on sports bikes as they're too costly to own or get nicked by the Law when you start to enjoy yourself. Adventure, dual road bikes are the way to go as they're more versatile and ageless.
Well I’m more of a retro man these days....but I do love having the Panigale in the garage just incase....infant I think I’ll give her a go later today....
@@TheMissendenFlyer What???? It's raining! It's a garage queen! Was thinking the same if it dries up.
Didn't notice much change in the video other than the fisheye. Keep the 899 long enough in that condition and it will probably appreciate over its original value !
You missed the blurring on the first bit where the digits go north of 62 Mph mate :) As for image quality, it was fine apart from the fish-eye effect around the edges, which all actions camera lenses do unfortunately...
It was a 70mph section officer
Re the use of the go pro, I hadn't even realised a different camera until you mentioned it, so I looked back at the 2-year review for comparison. I prefer the darker go pro colours and I thought the sound was better that the 2-year review, although I am not sure what camera you were using then :-)
A beautiful bit of kit. A bit off topic but have you ever ridden a Triumph Daytona 675? You love your Street Triple and you love your Ducati so you will love the Daytona for sure.
No I haven't as it happens...
For a 4 year old bike it looks absolutely brand spanking new! Well done on maintaining it! I hope one day I will own a Panigale 899/1199/1299. Hopefully before I get old and get a bad back and decide sportsbikes are not for me... :P
Cheers!
good update Tmf lovely looking bike . Thanks Danny 😊
Have you given any thought to finding some "classic" turn of the millennium bikes and reviewing them? Would be interesting to see what you think of CBR1100XX, TL1000S, ZX12R or a Gen 1 Hayabusa. Greetings from NZ.
I have indeed!
Have you seen the single swing arm mod. I know you said you weren’t looking at any mods. Like the video quality of the GoPro 👍🏻
I have but CBA to be honest, I have no issue with the way the bike looks (in fact I love the way it looks!).
TheMissendenFlyer agree about the looks. I’m after an 899 myself. Love the Panigale look. Gorgeous bikes.
Bit of a “fish eye” look with the GoPro sir. You can tune much of that out in settings by going to narrow view I believe. A large number of Panigale’s end up being “garage queens”, their just made for track or short canyon carving stints....I know as I have one myself. And why not if you can afford it and have alternative motorcycles? Good information and informative video.
These 899 is about to face extinction 👍🏻
Not if I have anything to do with it!
Another great video, Thanks @themissendenflyer. Have you replaced your stockpiles of Old Speckled Hen with non alcoholic beer and lemonade?!
Well the stocks turn over every now and then - looking a bit sad at the moment I must say.....
Most beautiful bike you have Sir. Thanks for the update........Sal : )
I have to admit I never notice when someone uses a DSLR or a Gopro. But did think the imagine was very sharp
Awesome video thank you, was looking at getting an 848 evo but think I will save up for the 899.
Do they come with quickshifter etc
Not particularly a sports bike fan, but sure is a good looker. As others have said, you do get the road tax refunded for the unused months. Where it is a con though, is if you sell part way through the month you won't get refunded for those weeks and the new owner taxes from the start of that month, so the DVLA get double bubble for that month.
Every days a school day!
Needed a slipper clutch on track, and the lock stops are made of cheddar
Video quality is spot on mate 👍
Cheers for the feedback...
Not to bad on the gopro very good and I will be looking forward to the next vlog
Fantastic quality and you are obviously not worried about kangaroos jumping out !
Funnily enough I’m not!
Nice review! Been looking at a 899 for a while now. Can't decide between one of these or a MV Agusta f3 800 🙃
Hi TMF, she's a real beauty at some point would love to add maybe an 899, or slightly older 916/996 to the garage. Would love to see how you get on with a tour on this bike regards comfort on longer mileage. Thought the go-pro footage was fine 👍 Thanks TMF.
Good stuff - thanks for the feedback DD!
Quality of filming good did not notice it was not anything other than your normal high quality productions (still prefer cruisers, but that's cos I'm old)
A tenner a week for that much fun, cant beat that.
I’m so glad that you’re still enjoying your beautiful Ducati and keeping it 👌
You should sign up for a track day with it. Use It for its intended purpose!
Nice bike for sure. Image to me seems better with the DSLR, Gopro is good but image due to fish eye lense as always bit funny, you could get rid of that effect in post but why bother, the Gopro cam is very usefull in my opinion, been using it for years and still quite happy with it.
Never really understood engine protection. Bikes look better without it IMO! The frame sliders will stop any significant damage resulting from a drop. I'd only add the protection if the engine covers were damaged to cover it up! :)
Fair enough!
Interesting review, and although I will never own a sports bike, I can certainly see the attraction. Small point on Road Fund Licence (tax). If you sell (or whatever) a vehicle any residual tax value is automatically calculated and refunded by DVLA.
So I’ve learned! Cheers...
You've been naughty here, kind Sir, " I've never had the chance to ride it in the wet yet..."... as far as I know your area is just as wet as Bristol area, or a tad bit drier but definitely have enough rain for you to play around with the puddles;))) But yes, deffo don't do it with new tyres though when it has been made for dry surfaces. I took my 0mile '08 Tenere home from the dealer when the decent rain hit, and I was sliding all over the place in corners even at low, 30-40mph speeds. They were the Metzler tyres, I think that was the standard for the XTZ Ten back i the day.
Haha, I should definitely not complain about the wear of my rear tyre on the Super 10... I am changing it after 8500+miles after all year round use.
Enjoy the rides!
🎥 Crisp focus, good colour & lighting.👍
Lovely machine.. I find as I get older they don’t get ridden as much.. the idea of having a bike in the garage always sounds good though. But with several bikes, plus testing other bikes, I suppose TMF does’nt get to put huge miles on any one bike. I’d love a Goldwing DCT to finish off my motorcycling years, but suspect it would end up being a very expensive ornament in the garage.... Don’t have the enthusiasm at 63, that I had at 21....( And in my 20’s I could’nt have afforded the Goldwing or BMW of the day, which I would have loved to have...ironic.)
Yes a bummer isn’t it!
TMF - noticed in the background, a spoiler on top of your GS windshield. I am considering purchasing one. Do you like it? Does it add or subtract from the buffeting? Is it the MRA clamp-on or bolt-on style? PS: I liked watching the video on your GoPro...the wide angel allowed me to also see your brilliant BMW GS.
It’s the MRA varioscreen - a full screen with bolt on spoiler - search for my reviews!
Good video TMF the quality is good. The bike is also looking Good.
Another great video! Very informative.
Do you have any tips on cleaning the Termi’s?
Yours are in an immaculate condition with no exhaust spot staining. I’m in awe 👍
I don’t do anything special, normal washing and sometimes use tar remover (Autoglym) on them....
What a gorgeous machine
I agree!
Hey missenden, love your videos, did you ever end up doing the 8 year review? I found one of these near me, im thinking of getting but wanted to see if its still the same good ratings after all these years. Ride safe
Err I can't remember! Sold the bike last year - just didn'tride it enough.....
@@TheMissendenFlyer haha no worries thanks for responding
Nice vid and didn't notice the video quality to busy looking at the bike, but might go back and have another look. 👍
