FYI, I recently purchased a 2nd hand 2021 Multistrada V4S Sport and prior to taking delivery, the forks seals on both sides needed replacing, which the dealer did no questions asked. The bike only had 18,000km on the clock. A couple of guys in the Ducati Club have had similar issues with the fork seals. I absolutely love the V4S. The best bike I've ever owned.

Looking good, Q! I recommend the Honda NC750X DCT for the best all-rounder. Yes I have one. I have another bike as well but the NC is a keeper.

Ive just put a Fuel-X Lite on my 2019 Svartpilen. just have to put the seat back on and take it for a ride. I had a KTM Duke 390 which is the same engine and that was terrible before I put a Fuel-X Lite on it. These bikes are so much fun and I tend to ride slower on mine so its kinda a bit safer to ride

I try to avoid 501 at all costs.

You sold the other Bikes? Cant wait for a new Video, maybe with something new in your stable? The new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 seemes to be interesting, just saying..

Not better than my Honda F6B. sold it and can kick myself in the ass ever since!

Q I AGREE

What do you expect pay for Basic service you get basic coverages .

I want a bike and was looking at the Kawasaki 300x you had. Seems like it might be too small for me. I’m 350#’s. I have a bad back and can’t ride a ninja like I used to have but loved. I also bought a cruiser the Vulcan 500 and hated it because I really didn’t like the riding style being completely upright. I rode a sport touring 650 once many years ago and I remember how nice that was it was far more upright but still had me sitting about 15° forward. I thought it was a bmw but now I’m not sure. I want something really good on fuel and cheap/simple on maintenance. It can be old and even ugly if it rides good. I’m more a function over form kind of guy and thrifty is my first last and middle name. Any recommendations? You really are talking up that 650 of yours. I found your channel yesterday and watched 2 years of videos. I like your content. We are moving to south Kentucky from north Illinois. I’d like to be able to comfortably ride 250 miles at a time at least. That would get me to Nashville TN, Cincinnati OH, Indianapolis Indiana. For the days I want to do city stuff. Thanks in advance.

My 2014 victory Vision cost 6000, it weighs 900 pounds but I am giant, yours is smoother, yours is cooler in summer (positive) and winter (negative), I got more power and torque than your bike, our bikes look as good, I just saw throttle lock, you don't have cruise? deal breaker, mine doesn't have LED, why do you have 4 mirrors? mine has a loud belt that hasn't need replacing in 63000 miles.

I love the color scheme of this bike. Great accessories as well

I know this is a year later but what are your feelings on it now? Also, were there any electronic "reset" issues following the first service .( I live in a very remote area) Thanks

a ruger locked in ur bag? I have one thing to say... BELLY BELT

Friendly suggestion Drop the annoying intro.

Don’t beat around the bush, bro. How do you really feel? Lol

Got one and got the same problem especially the cross winds.

Will I be super comfortable on this? I'm 6 ft 2 and 300 lbs

Bought on looks my 2016 1300,turns out its quite a machine ,fogged it & cruised it,& honest opinion luv it but gears could be smoother

So for sure the Honda vtx 1300 side deflectors fit properly? Coz I am ready to buy a pair

I agreed with just about all of the points you made in this video, however, a red motorcycle and a white-faced iPhone is for women.

Anyone watching in 2024, the bottomline is the CTX1300 was only sold 1 year. It looks great, but how do you maintain it 10 years later? You can order replacement parts, tanks, luggage, suspension upgrades, custom parts, filters, seats or performance upgrades for ANY Harley, any year, anytime, in seconds from your cellphone. And you'll have dozens of choices too. Drop a CTX1300, break a button, fry a component, scratch or crack anything, or try to find aftermarket performance parts for a CTX1300 today. There is little to nothing.

Nice video, yes the 401 is a beautiful little fast bike for the money.

Link for seat would be nice!

Im thinking of Madstad

If you don’t think these are badly built open one up and see the wiring it’s horrific! Had one with nothing but problems it’s in the skip where it belongs!

I started on the stock seat for about a month and then went to the GT touring seat and that was a big difference in the comfort department. I am now using the Premium Touring seat from RE and it is even better than the GT touring seat. If that seat bothers you give that one a try. I got it on eBay for just over $100.

Your royal enfield touring seat looks more like the standard one. The touring seat I bought from Hitchcocks was cross ribbed and miles different to standard. Much more comfortable. The standard seat is garbage

Better luck next time. At least you’re honest

Hello Quentin. Thank you for your video your bike looks vey nice. I own a Glitter and Dust Interceptor 650 bought new this spring after not riding for about 45 years. I'm a little obsessed with seats, handlebars and mirrors (trying to get the look I want). My question is your bike looks so well balanced with the seat, black wheels, etc.; but is that a stock set of handlebars with the cross-brace removed (at first glance they look a little like the low handlebars sold by Hitchcock Motorcycles)? Please let me know if you can.

72 yrs here. Had over 35 motorcycles in my life. Too stupid to ride the big fast bikes near the speed limit so I quit riding them. Now I ride a 22 Versys x300 and a burgman 400. Love them! They do not encourage thug riding and I like that. The range on the Versys is incredible….

Had my Interceptor since the showroom floor (2020)... I simply tell others everyone for the pass 80 years built a 650 twin... Triumph, BSA, Yamaha...others..... and I have all of them in the stable... Royal Enfield perfected the 650 twin. I did the sprocket change and a factory tour seat... also from across the pond Cravin panniers, color matched. I've done 1800 and 1500 solo trips... Great machine.... I can do 400 mile days and at the end of the day I don't feel like I did 400 miles... At a youthful 73.... I hope to continue my two-wheel adventures... 😎

I bought the interceptor Mark 2 just like yours You back in may Such a beautiful bike. My son just passed his test and brought the interceptor as well he brought the canyon red looking forward to riding together. Great bikes 👍😎

I bought the Continental touring seat soon after I bought my bike. I can’t complain. I haven’t changed my sprockets but I did go with a 150/70 tire on the back. Mine is a scrambler build with a high front fender and Himalayan windshield (and many other things). I bought the bike for $5,500 OTD and spent another $2,000 on upgrades. I’m 75.

Excellent bike.. like a good few others by Royal Enfiled

I’m also 68 yo.. Been riding my big bike a long time. Bought it new, 10 years ago. It weighs over 800 lbs. and I’m considering going for something lighter. The RE Interceptor seems like a nice bike. Thank you for the review…from east Tennessee.

I agree about the interceptor. I have two of them! 😁😁. I may also go with a 16 tooth front sprocket at some point. The touring seat was fine for me and I have YSS shocks and front fork kit. 👍👍

I agree with you Quentin in that most of the time it's best to keep what you have & try to improve upon it. I'm almost 73 y.y., have (2) Guzzi's (1999) California Bassa & a 2007 California Vintage, & a 2022 Kawasaki W800. I am done buying 2-wheeled motorcycles.If I get to the point that I cannot hold up those bikes, I will sell them all & get a can-am. Have a great day! Cheers!! Illinois

It sure reminds me of my ST1300.

Those exposed elbows vs gravel 😮

I love mine

I just picked up a 2014 with 1408 miles on it

11:46 congrats on the 30 years! Sorry for the strung of bad luck with the tires but I do not blame you for giving the Cadillac's mirror the Hulk smash!

I currently own a 2018 Africa twin, drz 400s , 2010 street glide . So I love all bikes . With that being said why is the whole shtick about this ctx vs a street glide ? The first thing you mentioned was cost ! Tells me you have something against Harley and money is more your concern . And you sound like a dude that bounced a ball off the wall of your dad’s garage and played many days alone therefore grew up and have a dislike for comrades in the Harley community. Be safe dude and lighten up.

Don't buy a used bike from a Stealership

The Dirty air is the result of air hitting the cylinder heads below not so much the windscreen. Lower deflectors is the key.

I was nodding my head yes at all of your points during the interior video while you were in your car... UNTIL you said yours looked better. I know that's subjective, but 8 of 10 would have disagreed with you. The CTX sort of looks like an alien, in my opinion, so no.. It's not for me. And stop bashing Harley. If you like your bike better, then great, ride it until the wheels fall off. But bashing another bike is also bashing the individuals who own them. They have the same right to their choice of a ride just like you do. Ride and let ride, I say.

So this is Q....and=y big updates in DC.

Don't sell the Interceptor just yet! There is a sealer that you can spray on the inside of the wheel rims that will allow for tubeless tyre installation. I do not have the name to hand......

How do you find the wind buffeting, not in the hurricane haha.

Dave Ramsey needs to speak to you about financing a hot-tub 😅
