    Love the new intro setup where we see the bike with you standing behind it to get a sense of size and proportion… Keep up the great work!

      Thank you very much! I need to learn to look at the camera more I think but its an evolution and I'm still having a lot of fun.

      @@MotorcycleDemoRidersNo No…. It’s not even an issue…. In fact, the only one who noticed that about looking into the camera is just you…. We are all the most critical of ourselves on camera lol…. Because your reviews come across as very authentic, don’t change a thing!

    LOL all I could see was the blinking shift light. I would have to put black tape over it or even better if it could be disabled. Slower bikes can be a blast. Banging through all the gears wide open throttle without fear of going to jail speeds.

      Yeah it never stopped lol. I was in 6th and it was still going. Thinking to myself I don't have another gear so deal with it. Yeah would definitely cover it. You know me I love small bikes. Great little bike

      I used to ride like that until one day I suddenly or maybe instantly would be a better word, lost all of the air from my rear tire. Talk about a scary moment. Took me a while to get back up to speed after that incident, and I will never ride as carefree again.

    You must live near a big city, because small town America is perfect for this bike. No highway ride to work for many people in a lot of the US. This is for newbie riders, and one segment of the market so many forget are older riders who want to downsize to something more manageable in their retirement years to extend their ride time.

    Had my duke for about a month now, this video helped me decide to get one! Love it !

      I'm very glad you found the video helpful and also happy you enjoy it. My favorite part of this is hearing other riders and how they feel about the bikes good and bad. I think It helps extend the riding community and opens it up to be more inclusive. That said these comments do feel very special and I thank you

    I've got an 890 R and a 200. The 200 is just a blast to ride. Also you can turn off or change the shift light and after the 600 mile break in it shift the red line for you.

    • @MotorcycleDemoRiders

      Very diverse pair of bikes. I appreciate you sharing you feelings and insights on the 200. It is nice information about the shift light since it never stopped flashing lol. While I know KTM is dealing with some issues right now the bikes they have are very unique and all of them I've ridden have put a smile on my face. Really want to ride the 125 but we don't get that one in the states.

      @@MotorcycleDemoRiders I'm hoping to ride the 125 if I get to Portugal this winter. I'm lucky enough to have an 890 adventure r as well. 🤞My cams will be OK and if they are not that ktm will take care of me. That's the hope! Stay safe riding out there!

      @madcat2092 Hopefully you will have no issues. If you do I hope they will take care of it but please share either way. Riding in Portugal would be a lot of fun. Stay safe and enjoy

    The motorcycle license course I took in Oregon had some of these. I never got the chance to ride it, but they were the nicest looking ones compared to the TU250s and Groms.

    • @MotorcycleDemoRiders
      @MotorcycleDemoRiders  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This would be a great bike to learn to ride on. I would rather learn on this than a grom. Still haven't ridden a tw250 but I really liked this bike.

    Has the quality gotten better than it used to be? I'm looking at this any entry level Yamaha

    • @MotorcycleDemoRiders
      @MotorcycleDemoRiders  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I haven't heard of any issues personally. It's well equipped for the price point, and there are a lot of good deals out there to pick up cheap. The yamaha mt03/r3 are great bikes also and would provide a little more power making it a better choice if you need to do any interstate riding. So many options in the entry level segment right now. The 300nk is the same price as the 200 duke and I think its a good option also in the category.
