- An evening ride after work on the Royal Enfield Classic 350, as a rare warm evening for mid October, Today pics and chat about a previous Motorcycle I bought in 2005 and sold in 2011, and regret doing so now!
Rekindled thoughts on that bike has come about as TH-camr Itchy Boots is getting a 1987 Yamaha Tenere 600 prepped in Germany to ride in Series 8 of here travel channel, An iconic bike which still has a massive following by fans even today 30 years later...
Check out this bike and the guy who has built it;
• Nobody expected me to ...
And an Alladins cave of XT bikes and parts!
• We've created a MONSTE...

Agree, Some of the best fun I had in the 80's was my XT 250 Yam
80’s bikes were indeed great Davy 😁👍
Totally agree all these sparkles and farkles leave me cold, you go out on the bike to "switch off" not log in :)
Yep less tech is more pure, back to basics 😁👍
The RE 650 classic appears to be close, I am looking forward to the reviews.
I’m keeping an eye on that one coming and reviews on it 😁👍
I was watching the Itchy Boots, that Gentleman had some garage of parts for sure. Certainly pasted the test of time, from mid 80’s.
Maybe sit on fence, till a decent Yamaha comes along Bruce.😊 not gonna devalue, and people might jump on the bandwagon to buy one now.
I preferred the Scram to the Himi. But none of use to me, being a short arse😂.
Lovely to see warhorse out n about.
That drone is Somme piece O kit.😊
Hi Mark, yeah some garage, spares and knowledge those guys have! 😁👍
I too prefer the Scram and its more basic spec, either another XT or a Scram for under 3K would be nice 😁👍
@@Coastriderscotland did see a nice XT225 on autotrader
I thought I’d just throw this out there. No simpler than yours, but sharing the same engine…. A Hunter…. Why!?… well I’ll tell you 😊 Yes I have one… But, riding it, due to the tighter rake, it reminds me very much of the XR400. The ride position reminds me definitely of bikes of the 70s. I’ve had too many bikes, a problem I had… But, whilst the Hunter may not take you to places the XT would… it may. So, tighter rake, slightly more oomph than the Classic, tubeless tyres, price… I’ve seen them as low as £2000. At least you keep the same service kit as yours. Give one a go 👍
Hi the Hunter seems a great bike and our friend John loves his Hunter! 😜 good point on their price and better top end speed and being a J series it will if needed to sustain high speeds in top 👍
Cheap insurance and running costs too and same spares as you mention😜👍👍
Stock pipe sounds great too!
Be easy to make one a Tracker with bars and tyres changed! 😁👍👍
I have gone right back to basics, and just run around on my old Morini 350, just so easy, no electrics on it a part from front and rear lights, starts 2 nd kick and away I go, and so light as well.
Brilliant Frank! 😜😁👍👍
It's all relative with bikes. If you've ridden Honda Cubs and learner 125s, the Classic is a big motorcycle. Compared to some of my previous bikes, it's small and slow. Like you I need never hit an A-road or motorway unless I choose to, and for back roads a 350cc single is plenty. If I added another bike it would be the Hunter for the tubeless tyres, or something old and 2-stroke.
Yes Bruce there's a lot more tech on some bixe that is actually needed. Rider's need full concentration on the road conditions and other road users. Keeping an eye on the pavements too for people who now think it's normal to walk straight across the road without looking as they think it's their right of way.
Hi Simon, deft too much on handlebars to distract riders, one reason i do chat over once home editing films as not distracted from thinking what to chat about 😁👍
I've had a load of bikes that I've said I should've kept Bruce. A Xt600 that I bought for £250 being one of them 🙄. RD250/350 many of those. All worth a lot more now 😂.
Always liked the aircooled stuff though.
Good luck finding a XT. 👌
Hi Colin, aye another TTR would be nice - at a sensible price! Or maybe a Scram 411? 🧐😜👍
I agree , too much tech on modern motorbikes. Im currently on the look out for a 70-80s Japan made 2 stroke single Enduro . Cheers.
I owned a Kawasaki KDX175 years a go and it was brilliant! Air cooled too! 😜👍👍
@@jonyoung6405 would love a nice late Yamaha IT250 or 200 . 🙂
Do you not think if you would have kept the old motorbike your garage might have a lot less room than it has now, and would you have saved other bike? Love your show and keep up the good work, happy riding.
Possibly! Though i have a wooden shed also so could have stored it there 😁👍
I think i would have still bought a J series Classic 350 as such a lovely bike 😁👍👍
@@Coastriderscotland I like the idea of a spare shed, go on buy one, you know a cheap one that you could do up!
Hola!
Ho avuto due XT600 in passato......pentito di non averne tenuta una.
Ora ho una Honda nx 650 dominator del 1991.
Non ha il fascino della XT ma mi ci divertiamo moltissimo.
Per natale dovrebbe arrivare una classic 350 signal a farle compagnia.....colpa tua😂🎉
Hi, i never owned a Dominator but loved the look of them 😁👍a Classic 350 will make a great addition to your toys 😁👍
Dimenticavo......saluta Murphy!😊
You teally should try a 411 himi.... its definitely a quicker bike, parts are peanuts and always available, responds well to tuning and big bore, sits at 70 all day...what's not to like. I had xt600e, 660 teneres and 660 r and they were only 70 mph bikes too
Hi, i have not discounted the Scram 411 either, i prefer its more stripped down build and they can be bought for the same price as a 20 year old Yamaha! 😁👍👍
@@Coastriderscotland yes scram seems a good choice... if not going too far off road
Could always build your own "frankenbike". Make for some good content. (Not that you don't already provide it) I regret selling my 1973 Honda CB175 twin dual carb. 🥃
Hi Lance, so many options and i am enjoying hearing other folks ideas! 😁👍👍🥃🏴
New technology is all well and good until it goes wrong, then you're scrapping a bike or car cause it would cost stupid money to fix.
Exactly, one of my favourite sayings “Less is More” is true! 😁👍👍
back to basics map in a tank bag no gps its the proper way
Deffo Paul 😁👍👍
