Delighted to see you're stiil pleases with it after 10K. I've 5 more months to wait for delivery into Ireland, so its a reassuring video. 40K valve clearance inspection surprises me. That sounds more like a 4 cylinder Japanese bike. If 40K is appropriate it's another impressive Engineering element to this first gen model. Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching them.
Having watched lots of reviews on this bike, I now know why they call it the “Unicorn Bike”. It’s because they don’t exist! Zero stock here in Perth, WA.
@@trinkabuszczuk6138 that sucks There's a few in Qld at the moment but I think most are waiting for the next shipment.. they're definitely worth the wait
If you keep both the cardo and your bike connected to your phone you won’t have that problem. When the music switches over to the bike just hit the pause button and then the play button on your cardo and it switches it back over. You will also be able to still use the buttons on the controls to change the songs. You also won’t have to disconnect and reconnect your cardo to your phone like you have been doing. I have the Cfmoto 450ss and that’s how I get around it
Living the dream mate. Thanks for the real world, unsponsored review XD. Might swap my old Transalp to a 450MT soonish. Do they go a about the same powerwise?
I was all set to buy a new Transalp but thought I'd wait for the after market to catch up... Then I saw some videos of having to muck around with rider modes and then the air filter position and decided to give something else a go.. glad I did at this stage
@@Noastrenght I looked very closely at them but unfortunately the seat was a bit too small for 2 up which we enjoy so I kept looking.. great bikes otherwise 👍
Mi like desde España 🇪🇦, el control de crucero no lo encuentro en eBay, tiene enlace, yo llevo piñón de 16 y espero la centralita para poner una ecu de 52cv
Im really interested in this motorcycle as well and just like you i am about 188 cm. How´s the seating with that saddle because i think the standard seat is far to low for us. Did you get increased comfort as well?
@@Bob-huisbaas the lower seat didn't bother me but that taller one is definitely better . Comfort is maybe slightly better on the tall seat but both are very comfortable
Thanks for the video. From the manual it seem that the dash has the tires pressure & temp display option, but I don't know which TPMS need to be used on the valves.
Im just waiting for the big bois that reach 50k km or 100k now. I know i won't reach that much in 3years warranty but Atleeast it will give me a peace of mind that i would know the possible problems my first bigbike upgrade from 150cc scooter is lol.

According to a dealer in VA, the U.S. isn't getting any until December 2024/spring 2025.

Makes sense there not released yet in USA
Thanks for the great review Derek.
My pleasure!

Just put a deposit on one. Same as you I’ll replace/ upgrade stuff as needed 🍻
Awesome.. hope you enjoy it as much as I have
Thanks for the video!
Can you share the link or brand of the cruise control system and TPMS?

Good info.Tnx
Do you have any oil consumption by engine ? Or u dont have to fill up engine from service to service ?
@@michamicha9617 none that I've noticed
Will you be upgrading to the new 800MTX?
@@twowheelin7361 not at this stage .. I'm really happy with the 2 I have .. but I will have a good look at it when it arrives
Is the exhaust heat shield home made or off the shelf?
@@charliefearon7218 it's a Rhinowalk branded one.
I pinched it from my friend but theyre readily available

Not really understanding why if this one is ok youpl buy another? Why not just keep this one and add stuff to it?
I mean after this one is worn out
I don't listen to anything in a car, certainly no need on a bike.
@@paradoxworkshop4659 fair enough... I enjoy my tunes whilst riding and driving
What's it like with 15t sprocket as i ride on hume hway for 35ks to work then 35k home plus vic high country on weekends
I prefer it with the 15.. others don't
Thankfully it's a cheap enough mod to try and see if it's for you

How do you find the single front disc and caliper for pulling up a 195kg bike + rider + gear as most 200kg + bike are running twin disc front ends ?
I find it to be fine.. but I'm not a fan of real sensitive brakes
Got my order in but still not here in the uk nice to see it’s standing up to the punishment carry on
Thanks mate
Hello, this is very important. Do the wheels have inner tubes or not ?????????????????
@@hakankaradag4819 yes I am running inner tubes

Gday from Burnett Heads.
Just picked mine up last week and love it.
Looking to change the tyres too. Liked and subscribed 👍
@@alexjohnson3696 welcome...
We'll have to get out for a.ride seeing as we're almost neighbours 👍
Doesn't the taller seat have extra padding? How is the comfort worse?
It's not worse
Great review, do you still bring it for service to keep warranty? Because it's not an expensive bike, are you doing it yourself? .
@@IrelandKenya no... I leave the servicing to the dealer
I just got to that part.. 🤦🏼
Thanks for the videos around the 450mt buddy ! 👌
@@13knots52 you're welcome 😁
Good, honest review. Love it, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Unfortunately I picked mine up and had it for two days and then had to send it back under warranty. I’m hoping to get it back very shortly
@@blacky8498 oh no..
Hope it isn't anything too serious
@@derekandleonie5636 I noticed oil on the bash plate. Turned out to be a stripped sump plug. Waiting for a new sump.
@@blacky8498 that sucks... Thankfully not too serious though
