Just came across your great review. Do you still own this bike? And if you do are you still happy with it? Looking at one exactly like yours and need to make a decision. Cheers.

Hey there. I do still have it and I do still love it! I'll be making another review later this summer. I honestly believe this is one the best bikes for the money out there... I don't think I'll ever sell it.

Nice review. I tried one yesterday (2010 base model with 40000km). The suspensions were among the best I've ever tried, super smooth. The transmission was rough at best, it was hard to downshift in 1st gear. When leaving from a stop I could feel kind of a clunk, the owner said it was normal because of the dry clutch, but I certainly didn't have that on my R9T. Engine was nice, fun character, decent sound with aftermarket exhaust. At 6'1" the seat angle was bad even after 5 minutes. All in all, great bike, just didn't click for me. Not to mention the opposing indicator buttons which are not a good idea when you have multiple bikes, having all buttons at the same place is the way to go (and all buttons looked dried up and bike had been mostly kept under a cover).

Bought a set from I believe the last batch i..DOT 27/21..they have been the best tires I have owned, my bike is a 02 FZS-1000 a little heavier than a super sport and these seem to be the right choice, other than needing a little warm up, I broke the rear loose in 3rd at about 50 mph and fishtailed a bit, my pilot power tires previously never did that,once warmed up they grip and handle fantastic,balancing hardly required .25 oz..excellent tires

@marciofilho32222 жыл бұрын
Good point. I find myself trying to justify selling the bike but, every time I look around there is simply nothing as cool, powerful and versatile for the money. Even if I won the lottery (not that I play) I'd keep it. I am planning on doing a few modifications when I have the resources: Wunderlinch trophy fairing with the tall screen, taller bar risers and maybe upgrade the rear suspension for a plusher rider. But I guess this is part of loving what you have rather than always wishing for more.

I’m pretty impressed, have them mounted on a CBR1100XX. The bike came with them and I’ve racked 2,500 miles on them with some fun twisty runs, interstate, 160MPH, riding in the rain. Awesome budget tire! Think I’ll likely get the Dunlop RoadSport II’s or Michelin Road 6 GT’s next and continue working on reducing weight on the big bird.

I can buy this bike locally for $4600 USD, same color actually (which I love). I'm in the market for something upright and comfortable for highway and cruising, no desire for off road. This model an generation seem to hit a real sweet spot in the used market right now for value and performance and enjoyment.

Great review buddy very helpful. Got an alpine white one locally here with reasonable miles and condition for only $4600. I think he would take $4000 it's been listed for a while. Crazy value at the moment. You cannot even get a Gen 2 V-strom for this price.
@marciofilho32222 жыл бұрын
I've had it for nearly 4 years and at the moment it lives with me in Sweden... I rode it and imported from the UK in 2019 - that's how much I like it. I am determined to keep it at least until 2030. I simply cannot justify buying something else. This bike does everything extraordinary well and it is the best compromise between safety and old school riding. It is supremely comfortable for a naked and always makes me feel special. Highly recommend. 💪
@drewmorg.2 жыл бұрын
@@marciofilho3222 It ticks a lot of boxes. I am comparing my options here looking at this bike and Vstrom, F700GS, etc. I want something mostly upright and comfortable with definite interstate highway capabilities. We need to do 80mph in flow of traffic here on huge 5 lane highway in California. It is a major safety concern. Sportbikes, for this reason, surprisingly are very good on the highway but are terrible at everything else. So anyways really appreciate your videos and I can tell it's all coming from a guy like me chilling with your Corona in the driveway talking about your bike! haha!

Hi there! I have a 2016 R 1200 RS using the same spoiler screen like you. Indeed I also have no wind pressure nor noise on my helmet. This little thing works fabulously. On ebay I just paid 13.-EUR for it. Though owning a 2016 model my gear box is a bit clunky, too. Watch your oil level. I filled it up from 50% to 2/3 to the max and it became a bit less clunky. On my RS there are no vibrations. I had a 1980 R 65 long ago and it was the same and never ever had any problems.

The front is mounted in the opposite direction from the rear. I just mounted a 120/70/17 Pilot street on the front of my Ninja 650. I noted that the sidewall information shows the direction that the tyre should be mounted. If mounted on the front then the tread pattern faces the opposite way from the rear , the same way you mounted them. If however the 120/70/17 is rear mounted then it's fitted in the opposite direction. If you view your video , then you can clearly see the tread patterns are in the opposite direction.
