Nice video Arch, I’m enjoying watching your journey with the new bike and every time I see it, it makes me quite jealous! One day perhaps… 😊

I have the triple black with ASA ordered. I’m physically fit just turned 65. Hoping I’m making the right decision. I know you don’t have ASA. What a wonderful life you lead in that beautiful city and countryside

Awesome stuff mate. The big red girl looks great! Stay upright 🙂

600km and mine is already a week in the garage... leaking rear suspension. Nederland ride offroad for now with it..

What kind of headlight protection do you have? I already have two, and neither of them fits.

You need the ASA mate. Haven’t seen.A better scenario where it would be a no brainer

Why is there so little traffic for such a big city?

Nice to know that your bike is in a good shape👍 Actually, it is not nuisance to ride on Shutoko but it’s smooth. Those who are going there are experienced enough and know the Shutoko rules. Their driving is quick and efficient, not bothersome for other drivers. And they know to thank you with their hazard lamps when they need to. This is something interesting. Spring is not so far away now. Nice riding season is coming soon✌️

Altijd heerlijk zonnig daar! Kan Nederland wat van leren😜

Double cheese, yes!!!!

You know you want to try the Applerella burger.....🙃

Just found your channel - new sub! Nice vid mate. How are you liking the 1300? 140 is nice, try going by Okutama as well when heading west - amazing twisties. I'm in Kiyosato / Yamanashi prefecture and ride around here all the time. Would love to go on a ride / show you around out this way: Kiyosato, Yatsugatake, Venus Line etc. so much amazing riding to be had. Bloody cold at the moment though. I try to get out when above 5C to avoid frost/black ice.

Brilliant as always Arch. 🤝

Lovely ride mate!

Nice one Arch, that looked chilly! 🥶

I think the 1300 engine has a bit lighter sound than 1250, which I like. Chichibu is another nice place to ride in, which I didn’t know. Saitama is close from Tokyo and seems good for an easy day touring. I would like to try it sometime. Another nice one by a nice-looking young boy😁

Very nice ride for a cold winters day, spectacular. Thanks Arch 😊

I went to Chichibu past city center to Mitsumine Jinja last October. Even greater roads high elevation 1100 meters autumn coloring was spectacular. My wife was along so drove there. I’m planning to go back in spring when weather warmer roads are iced this time of year. Where you went was great choice didn’t have time to drop by those icicle place. Thanks for the video different view on two wheels!

Another beautiful vlog mate, i love those skinny roads , those icicles are awesome abd i bet that water is cold , thanks for the shout out and well wishes 👍 i had a great little ride

Wow.. that's a really enviable trip. And happy new year. :-)

You're braver than most! :-) My son is over in Japan with his girlfriend right now. They both love it. Stay upright my friend 🙂

I know this video is a couple of months old now so you may have found it but there's a USB plug in the little glove box above the fuel cap by all accounts

You're a tough nutter! Good on you for taking out the new bike on a cold day. Watching this from Melbourne Australia where it's currently 37 degrees... 🙂

Hello. Many thanks for that video from Japan. I've never been there. Maybe in the future. Greetings from Poland Bro. BTW I've just collected the same bike in the same colour 😅

You are already fully enjoying your new 1300. Interesting to know, contrary to its looks with dignity, that it’s agile and easier to handle. Though fine weather is good, I see here that the coast line under cloudy winter skies is also nice. The birds must have wanted to have a closer look at your bike. The head light cover looks good.

Lovely to see how friendly the people in japan are. Great vid; i got my triple black 1300GSA coming early may

Welcome back to the cold…

Is that the chigee aio5 ? Considering that or the bmw unit

Greetings from the UK. Great video again, love seeing where you live and ride in Japan.

Nice one Arch, good to be back on the bike! 😊

Big Red still looks brand new buddy time for a set of karoo's😆

Oh my God you breezed through the neck of my woods at Yokoshiba Hikari! That’s where I live between points 6 and 7 closer to 6!

Arch, at 7:35 you have an app on your phone screen for navigation, can you share what that app/program is? Thanks!!

Your videos are awesome. I enjoy them a lot.

Think this is the best review of this gorgeous bike on KZbin, congratulations. 👌

Great video mate! Damn, you're in Brisbane? How long you around for, I'm just visiting family here myself.. here for another couple of weeks before I'm heading back to Japan. If you've time would be nifty to catch up!

The Godfather returns…😂

Bro. It’s “strayya” not Australia. You sound like a seppo 😂

Great video Arch, thanks! 😊

Wow weather must have been hot down there contrary to freezing temps last few days. That trail bike what make is it? I just tried a Honda CRF250L equally fun but the course was small at Narita off-road park. Need more practice haven’t been riding well on those loose gravel. I think you’re doing and riding great!

That’s a great round up of your sabbatical to good old Aus. Love the content, a great mix finished of nicely with a pie 😂

hope you are feeling better Archsan!!

Nice video Arch, I too struggle with loose sand! Glad you weren’t hurt…

Nice frontal view of both bikes 👍🏼

The motocross looked fun, unlucky with the loose sand.

Just picked mine up today . Same colour as yours but with ASA . Love it . Minus 3 degrees C but still loved the ride home 👍

Hello from Toowoomba! Hope you aren't getting as much rain as we are out here.

Nice video Arch san 🥰🥰 adventurous

😮 Crikey! a buck ninety a litre for diesel!

Told you are sausages were the best, thanks for the shout out 😊
