I have a 2016 Ducati multistrada 1200s and I just got this. I can say with out a doubt that for the price point it is amazing! Fit and finish is as good as the Ducati if not better. All panels are tight and there is no noise from any of them. The Navigation is simply amazing as well and the warranty is the best in the world. FYI spokes are stainless steel! Not even Ducati has that. I love it and is extremely reliable.
GSA rider here. As soon as I saw the backlit controls, and before you even said anything, I was like "woah, that's nice!". That 1290 though. I always do a bunch of mods to my bike in December snd usually take it apart and spend 2-3 weeks not riding it while it's disassembled and I'm adding all the goodies. Midway through the process when I go out and see everything everywhere with tools all over the place I always feel like it will never come back together properly and I'm gonna forget something and it's gonna break down on me. Hasn't happened yet, but I hate that feeling and your 1290 gave me that feeling. Good luck with it. I quite liked that wrap you had on it.
Merry Christmas to uncle Smokey and his family ! Thanks for all the entertainment and sharing your adventures with us. I'm so happy I found your channel, love your outlook on life and I hope the channel gains a million subscribers next year.
Happy holidays! Having many subscribers always comes with a lot of hate to , sometimes it's better to stay a bit under the radar 😁. But thank m8! Appreciate it 🙏❤️
Loving the Chinese bike content, many don't realize where they have come and how many of their beloved Brands sell them Chinese bikes with European/Japanese budges and price tags.
Great video, Smokey, thank you. It seems that’s quite a decent bike for not much money. Wishing you and yours, a great Christmas and a very Prosperous and Happy New Year! …….
Love to see them use carplay in the software update. Would give the other motorcycle MFG a reason to play catchup. Also would like to see the 1200 in a red version too
Can you try the CF Moto 450 mt too please? I know it is not out yet in Europe - just saying😊 Cf is still a Wonton - want one 😜. Love the Red Morini😊 All the Best 🎉🎄
Always enjoy your vids. As a Ducatista, my riding days will end if they ever move manufacturing to China. However, I’m guessing there’s a part or two on my bike that probably came from China.
Saw one at the motorcycle show here in uk ..looks nice , pretty sure I’ll never own one ..but looks like China are taking on India (price point) and honestly I’d have this all day long instead of anything from RE .
Hello Mr. Smokey, i'm from spain, i will be moving the BE in about 45 days, i take my f800gs with me, and i'm very interested on those roads that you test your bike, muddy... off roady... were do you find those? just look at one in the road and just take it? is legal? thank you.
Dont bUy a gopro if its not the 12 😂 i had the same problems, now the 12 with the mediamod all the glitches from the 8 till the 11th are gone. Funny bike for when you want to go offroad and dont wanna put allot of money in a offroad bike where you also can go for a realy nice roadtrip on.
I am also thinking of that one, the svt650x from qj motor looks promising, although very few reviews on english and alot more on greek, italian and even in arab.

Does your Ducati work 6 years later? We all can assume it does perfectly good. Not sure about your new bike in 2029.
@@etdbsub0Ducati that works 6 years later ! 😂😂 the most unreliable brand manufacture in the world !
@bohemianphotographer6843 not that's HD 😂
It’s a good day when smokey uploads keeping me excited to get back on a bike after my accident
Bought it last year and loooooove it
How has it held up?! Thinking of getting one myself!!

Smokey does this in his sleep, he’ll get it sorted with absolute ease. Merry Christmas 🎄 Smokey, cheers.
Bike is already back together and wrapped 😁👌

Not a bad bike for the price Smokey thanks for the review, not that I would ever buy one😁 I'm in love with my 990.
Great video and looking forward to next year with fried rice
Nice bike, nice sound.
Oh fantastic. Look into the cfmoto 450mt adventure bike. Chinese and fantastic, have a great Christmas 🎉🌲 🎅
CF Moto in my country really wants to work with me....more coming soon 😌
good one man, I kind of dig that bike.
Great video, Smokey, thank you. It seems that’s quite a decent bike for not much money. Wishing you and yours, a great Christmas and a very Prosperous and Happy New Year! …….
You to buddy! 😁👌
Merry christmas Smokey! Thanks for sharing all the stuff, adventures through out the year!

Great job, thank you. Thumbs up and subscription.
Available in the UK for £5500 brand new

All the Best 🎉🎄
Will be working close with CF Moto so no worries 😁
@@LifeofSmokey fabulous 💪😊
Interesante moto. No la conocía.
Triumph Scramelar 400 video I'm waiting 😊😊😊
Hopefully you can get a fantic caballero 500 rally and the Kove rally when it arrives here in February
Working on it 😎

A part or two? I wouldn't bet to much on that 😅. The deeper I search the more things I find that amaze me 🙈😅
My understanding is that the engine is identical to the Kawasaki versys 650 parallel twin engine.
100% correct , build by CF Moto
Fun. Not sure I know much more about the bike tho, Smokey? 😂
Everyone can read the stats on the website 😂🙈. Sorry got carried away on this one haha
I love your opinion about the gopro, I also feel the pain. :) But you mess (again) the angle on your chin. ;)

Can you buy and install a quick shifter though???
No 😅
It's a low cost bike and for some people that's great. Maybe for people who don't do a lot of miles
low cost bike is 20yo klr.
For that much money you can have proper new 5yo jap bike like super tenere, xt660z, or even new AT
No shame. Ik zen daar ook es gevallen. (Ook street tires).
Happend to fast for comfort , foot got to deep in the mud 😂🙈

The same engine only used in kawasaki versys 650
Its Marzocchi suspension 😂
🇬🇭
Try new Himalayan 450
Soon 😁👌
Unfortunately, the company goes bankrupt every 10 years.
I think QJ650x is better than Moto morini
They are part of the Geely holding group. They also own Volvo , Lotus , Lync and Co and much more...pretty crazy 😅
I am also thinking of that one, the svt650x from qj motor looks promising, although very few reviews on english and alot more on greek, italian and even in arab.
boring
