Allens an absolute legend imo he's a national treasure

The place is cleaner than a surgery room 😍

Nice to hear Alan's first proper bike was a CD 175! I owned one at 16 before the law changed. It was a capable little bike if a little soft tailed, I put a pair of Megaphone silencers on mine and easily kept up with my mates CB 175 which had twin carbs. I'd have it back in a flash 53 years on from picking it up as a brand new novice biker from the dealer.

Moved over to avoid oncoming car, who’d have thought 😂😂😂😂

Absolute crap

Good video 👍

The quietest, most modest absolute legend you could ever meet..

Brilliant quick comparison, very similar top MCN’s conclusions. I’m erring towards the 525 simply because you get so much as standard for a simply astonishing price compared to all the competitors. This developing mid weight ADV market is going to dominate in the future with ever increasing fuel costs and general cost of living. Incredible to think you could buy 4 of these 525s for the price of a fully specced 1350GS! - 4 x the bike, don’t think so.

That mounting frame by the seat is very thin indeed , wouldn't take long to cut that. Especially with a battery grinder, Me personally as I have and use grinders on a daily basis, about 10 seconds. Unlike some locks that resist grinding attacks for several minutes. Great idea Mounting plate let's it down. OK for the opportunist thief, but nowadays gangs are tooled up. I only buy certified insurance approved motorbike locks that's why they are lot more expensive. Nice video anyway

Brilliant, amazing to watch and well done Mark

Alan Truly Is a One Off Who Puts His Gifts and Talents to the Extremes.

Too much traffic and blind bends in the lake dostrict.

Nice ride down and worth a visit to the museum and cafe, they add something new to the museum every year and its free to walk round 👍

Where did this interviewer come from - he's awful. SHUT UP AND LET ALAN TALK!!!

i could not drink beer in that weather, not without fitting a bag on first.

Usa link?

Fantastic bikes Allen you are a wizard mate will have to come and see your brilliant bikes at Stafford

have these on my gen 2 busa after a set of hypersports they are a tad slower dropping into corners but very smooth and have managed to lean it over further they just feel and grip so well never feel like they are being pushed same in the wet they are amazing.

Great to see my local riding spot on the copper coast. Rode up it yesterday with 3 spanish riders touring ireland. Most of the video is a mile from my place 😂

Anderson Donald Moore Michelle Lopez Donald

Which one of these two bikes do you guys prefer?? I am thinking on buying one of them in near future..

If i had this man’s skills i would retire early and spend the rest of my days in my garage

You could do the same trail on a 125cc scooter, this snobbery in the motorbike community is a joke.

I have a similar pair but can't shift up gears in them, despite adjusting the lever all the way.

A truley brilliant engineer.

Bought a 700mt and I am not disappointed. You get a lot for your money at 6300 EUR. Could it be better, more refined, better quality, have more horsepower? Yes! Yes it could. But then it would not cost 6300 EUR with a 3 year warranty, would it? 🤷‍♂

It's been some time since I seen one on the road here in Tennessee. I always wanted one since they were new .

We’re fairly unpopulated at least compared to you 😂 You’ll need to do west coast next. Ring of Kerry . Stunning 🤩

Good video but would prefer more actual riding. Discuss the bike in a second video if possible.

Agreed, this is the most all around fun bike to ride day to day. I love the 1/2 sports bike 1/2 cruiser combo.

Nice video. Great to hear that you all enjoyed Ireland. I've been biking in Ireland for over 40 years and there are endless attractions/sceneries/historical spots to visit. Plus some fantastic back roads. If we could only get some guaranteed summer weather.......

Just goes to show you don’t need a huge expensive ADV bike for a UK adventure- Great little video folks.

CST = Chinese super tyres

I have a 22 plate tracer 9gt I can't wait to get rid of it the vibrations through the bars is unbearable and the seat gives you an hour then it's just excruciating pain until you get to your destination.good riddance never again.

You wasn't show adapters and mounting plates what was inside a box. :(

Great video. You got some great footage of The Copper Coast, especially Killmurran Cove and Tankardstown. It's good to see the Copper Coast shown in such a positive light. Hope you come to Ireland again,. Keep up the great work. 🇮🇪

Can filter when safe to do so.

Guinness, my God, don't forget to kiss the blarney stone as well like all the other tourists😆

It’s John from Bennett’s!

The Copper coast is a great ride...👍

Glad you enjoyed lads, loads more to explore (I'd recommend West Cork/Kerry or Connemara next time) come back soon!

Good vid lads go north next time

Great video. Thank you! Just bought my first tourer and looking to practice before I head to the Alps. This is on my doorstep and looks fabulous! Thank you.

Why didnt they make the white one for America if they did I haven’t seen it yet

What an amazing guy,I can't help wondering if he is dyslexic. His conceptual thinking and the ability to see the finished product before the first spanner is used is pretty much where dyslexics shine. A very inspirational guy.

Work for robot machine 😂

Absolutely love this guy,Allen your an absolute nutter and mechanical master!

Living in Sheffield I've ridden these routes for over 40 years and still enjoy (some) of them. Fond memories of the Snake and C&F back in the late 80's/early 90's with fewer DWL's and no camera traps. I find many of the routes with 50 limits and cameras a bit of a bore but I guess much depends what you're riding. Much of my riding is now on a Classic Triumph 1200 Twin on roads like Strines, a great route!👍 A ZX14R is my go to for long distance stuff but TBH, bikes like that are wasted on tight back roads and camera infested A routes so it doesn't get used much locally. There's also some GREAT off road tracks/green lanes in the PD and are a great alternative to salty wet roads in Winter on a dirt or decent dual sport bike. In fact, the PD is a bit of a playground for bikes and bikers of all types and ages! Safe riding.😀👍

What a great video. Looked like a great time despite the weather, thanks a tonne

Scusate ma come cacchio guida questo ahahahah
