    IMO, the F750 (I had one but sold it due to a serious illness) is one of the most underrated "do-it-all" motorcycles out there. The last thing I was going to do mine, was get a front fork spring kit, which I feel would have made it nigh perfect!?! Anyway, "for me" based on what is out there today in the middle-weight marketplace, next year (when winter passes here in the North West USA), I'll seriously be looking at the new F-800. Enjoy your 750!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yes,I already ordered the Toutatech springs for my front suspension! I hear it dramatically changes the suspension!! Great tip!

    great review!.....agree on the suspension, i had the Hyperpro suspension lowering kit installed on my 750GS and it made a huge difference.

    Same color as my 2022 bike, I am fine with front suspension, Stock tires after 1 year, I am a Roadie, not into the mud roads at all. upgraded windshield and metal side bags, but also a top bag mostly, take off side bags unless needed. going to change my brake fluid next week myself. dealers ridiculous labor rates here in USA AZ

    Hello there! From where you got those spoke wheels? Do you have the tyre pressure sensor installed on your bike?

      VMX KKE-Racing, you will need the nut and valve from the 850gs to install the TPMS all works as it should and no issues

    The spoked wheels are the go. How do you find the front shocks off road?

    • @BeanieBiker_AutisticRider
      @BeanieBiker_AutisticRider  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Handles well, no more heavy diving on the front, a good feel on the back when standing on the pegs and leaning forward, the upgrade on the front forks is definitely worth the £100

      @BeanieBiker_AutisticRider  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @zoltszolts5632 test rode the Tuareg, it's a nice alternative but is more top heavy than the 750gs, test ride them back to back, you'll have an idea then to which you prefer

    • @droflivelife
      @droflivelife 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @BeanieBiker_AutisticRider wow more top heavy. I thought the 750 was bad enough. 20kg different I thought would be more like my 390 ADV. I found the 900 rally pro feels low weight

    I had pivot pegs put on my 750 and highway pegs. No way I can slip off those pivot pegs. Loads of confidence standing.

      I have small feet size 8, so not an issue or not noticed a issue yet, on road and off, I have looked at other pegs, but I've now covered over 6000 miles and not noticed a problem

    @BeanieBiker_AutisticRider  ปีที่แล้ว

    DN I see you removed your comment, no I am not overly worried about falling on that side of the bike with the auxiliary tank, the spare fuel is there for when I get to the campsite or destination, I can then remove it and store it while I go and enjoy the off-roading, I have fallen on that side with it on, and no damage, remember that these are slow drops, not really classified as a crash to be fair, I am barely travelling at 30mph off-road, the tank is well made and not cheap flimsy plastic, yes there is a risk, a small risk which I am happy to take, when I travel I am well prepared and take a small fire-extinguisher with me. Can't worry about the what ifs.... get out there and enjoy the adventures!
