Random question but how comfortable is the seat for the passenger?

where was that camp spot? was that on the way up to saddleback mountain? or right on the main poker flat trail?

I'm guessing this fix is about the same for an 890 Adventure? Great info by the way.

I'm a brand new rider i just bought a really nice one from my neighbor for $1100 it has 20000 miles. one owner i didn't know the value do i offered just over a grand and she took it

Thanks for theGreat ride!!

Greatvl video thsnks

I thank you for your video \ do you know the name of the shocks style yours are the same as mine

Really nice video, your appreciation of this bike shines through. After getting rid of my T7, too tall for my 55yo wonky shoulder and knee, I'm considering one of these. I want a low tech mid weight adv. The only thing that's put me off in the past is the idea they might handle the twisties in much the same way my DRZ does rather than the better handling of the modern mid weights. Any thoughts, where does it lie on that spectrum? Thanks

Guzzis like cornering on neutral or slight throttle much more than off throttle.

I bought a 2011 Zuma 10 years ago. I’m almost at 20k miles now. I rode 1000 miles in 23hrs 45 min just to see if I could do it. I made a video about my touring setup if you’re interested. I love these bikes!

Love my '15 F6B Deluxe, cruise is nice and I just enjoy the smooth powerful engine!

BGM a bit too loud, hard to hear you. Nice bike though.

I recall seeing this video in my feed a few years ago and watching it and seeing yours all kitted out. Fast forward to 2023 and I wrecked my Vstrom, picked up an 08 Versys on a whim and just have gotten the Givi racks on it. Found a gent selling 2 side cases and a V46 top case so got the hardware. T-Rex Racing has a skid plate, engine guard and center stand for these that are on the list next. Really an awesome platform

How much did you pay for the windscreen? I cant find any for cheap, only for the older hyosungs. The ones for the 2013+ cost like 100$+

That is the Adventure

I love mine, only had it a month so far but its great. Id class the VFR1200F as a super tourer as it comes with around the same power of the superbikes back 15 years ago.

I owned one of these. The stereo was an option. It came as you showed, with a hole to slide in the radio. But you also had a small display that was on the lower left part of the dash that displayed the radio display. I ended up removing the antenna and the radio wiring. You end up with a nice glove compartment. Those "wizzy brakes", as many call them, are very important to have checked out. You have to bleed them with a specific technique that includes bleeding the unit itself. If that wasn't done regularly, you can get rust and damage in the unit requiring it to be rebuilt or replaced. The one place I know of that rebuilds them has a LONG wait. You can also remove the system and just run the hoses direct to the calipers, but you will lose your ABS. If you buy a high mileage one (over 50,000 miles) make sure the clutch isn't slipping. That's a major job to replace the clutch and it's an automotive style dry clutch. Same goes for the rear main seal. If you see any weeping of oil around that area, factor that into the price. Otherwise...these are bullet proof bikes that will run for a long time. Not unusual to see BMW boxers with well over 100,000 miles and still running strong.

You behind that scooter reminds me of a shark about to swallow a sardine.

Should I buy one?

Dude I ordered an iceberg champion 4 weeks ago and I haven't heard a word from ( cajun mad dog) it's driving me insane. I did call them twice and spoke to both guys but really haven't gotten a good reason for the delay. I went from being totally excited to highly disappointed and I think it's slowly changing to anger 😮 I feel a bit like Bruce Banner and I really don't want to turn green....

No really biker with a little feeling for his motorbike needs a gear indicator. All these modern technical adds allegedly help to increase security but do the opposite. They minimize the ability of new bikers to get a better understanding of their bike.

you can flat foot it.. and are you 5.2 or 6.6"?

Love my recently acquired 250L ... 2013 model , sweet condition , 23,000 km on clock ... $1700 paid for it here in Thailand ....❤ *Crap Game*

Black bikes matter! 👍🏻

í did it and not satisfied how it fit....i mean its do not fit!!! because the stearingbase is not round!!!....okee, it will not fall of but its not a elegant way...have done a baseplate on clutch reservoir that fits perfect....thanks anyway for your ideas...❤

thanks to you i can make my fuel gauge work again on my KTM 1050 Adventure :)

Fritzco is the way to go. Their C-clip makes it easy to change out.

This is my dream bike just love the looks i own now a fjr 1300 so maybe in the future i buy one

I just bought a 2004 VTX 1300 with less than 20k miles on it. Yes, you read that right, 20 years old, less than 20k miles. Plot twist: I bought it from a guy here in Texas who sadly got flooded in the recent rains. It took on about a foot and a half of water. He's a friend and too old to ride these days so he told me "$500 and it's yours", so clearly I couldn't turn THAT shit down. Clearly I have my work cut out for me, but I'm happy to do it. Here's the thing, I've RIDDEN for 15 years, but I've never ONCE turned a wrench on a motorcycle. Plenty of cars, and I'm an HVAC mechanic by trade, so I likely have the "mechanical knowledge and skill set" to do the work that needs to be done. That said, I'm always happy to take advice. I've found the owners manual online, but CLEARLY I'm gonna need some parts, and what I DON'T see in the manual are PARTS BREAKDOWN AND PARTS NUMBERS. Curious if anyone here knows where I can find what I guess would be called the "SERVICE" manual, with breakdowns and part numbers. This was a great video btw, you made me even more excited to get mine cleaned up and on the road!

So many of these with disabled ABS due to pump failures. I was going to buy one such bike, but my insurance company refused to cover the bike. Any modifications must be disclosed to the insurer or they can void the insurance in the event of a claim😎

2 questions. Is this the 2018? And if so did you have to replace the judder springs and or clutch basket?

Just bought an 05 1050.....can't wait to get some decent weather and take her out! Great review fella 👍🏻

Thanks for the video. When you say you are flat footed, how tall are you?

Just got mine 2017 a few weeks ago, still finding out the setting TC and driving mode. But I get your feeling 👍

The gearing in the original Ct 70 from how HONDA is the same way. You are actually fortunate with the 125 motor, my Ct 70 is screaming at 30 mph haven’t tried a top speed run yet.

hello,dont have fuel counter?

TRC Adventures

WOW! very nice...We've never been up there before.

I just got an 06 with 23000 mi for $2500.00.. i Think i got a deal .. no scratches no dents

We know Mines Rd very well. We live in Antioch and would take the long way to SanJose over Mt. Hamilton

Currently debating getting one of these. Love the looks and sounds of it but my main concern is the power difference between this and the 1100 evo? Anyone have experience on both that can chime in on the subject, does the 796 have a fair amount of steam to it or will it feel a little under powered? Current bike is a 02 Harley super glide stage one with suspension work done. Thanks

Nice drone footage. Love that mountain bike footage!!!

OMG I love it. I own a goldwing 1500. But I want one of these

just bought a 2012 zuma 125 few weeks ago with 940 miles been garaged all its life it's a blast to ride around on

Pretty sad when cops are more worried about people who just want their 49cc scooters to be able to keep up with traffic & able to do 5 mph over the speed limit (which is legal), I think 49cc scooters should be allowed to do at least 60mph max, not 25-35, as some people would rather use scooters as their only means of transportation & not have to worry about everything that comes with operating licensed vehicles all the time & still get around (even long distances) without having to worry about unachievable speed limits (minus the highways\freeways).

Hey dude I just subscribed and gave you a thumbs up could you please list The Mods you have done to that? I really like the trail buddy swing arm great video thanks

My brother recently picked up a used one. I haven't ridden on quite a few years and took it out a few weeks ago. It has low miles, but the front forks seemed unusually bouncy. Watching your video, I think I'm seeing it at about 14 mins. When you're cornering, the front end looks busy. Is this something you've noticed?

You clearly dont know much about this particulat bike. These are one of the most quirkey hard to work on bikes that ever existed. At around 40k miles the suspension is completely shot. The shocks are not rebuildable and will cost at least $1500 to replace. The abs motors are problematic and super expensive to repair so the answer to this is just to remove it. It is very complicated. Around 50k miles the alternator belt will need to be replace and the starter will be junk. Around $50 miles the dry car like clutch will need to be replaced and it is quite complicated. The motorized wind screen will stop working. Good luck finding parts for it. The list is infinite. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.

ill buy the corbin seat from ya

At 71 I'm looking for a motorcycle that will mellow me out. I have been unable to accomplish this mentally. An absolutely great review! The best I've ever watched. I'm torn between this bike and a BMW S1000R. A choice between what I want and what I need.
