My question why Honda change drive from shaft RD 01 to chain bmw still on tradition

I like this bike but I'm torn between this an the honda st 1300. I love the way this looks it weighs less better gas mileage. But will it last 300,000 miles? Like the honda would?

the main point was did it work ?

1/2 a burnout on gravel ,- impressive 😳🤣 My girlfriend bought one she's pretty happy with it 👍

Random question. So between this Honda and a 1998 jeep cherokee, how would you rate it as a commuter?

Honda element seats 5. Yes you can fit 3 in the back seat. Even have the seatbelt for the middle person

Old Wings rule. I rode my buddy's Tiger and loved it but way too expensive for me and too much electronics. Think I'll just keep my Wing. You mentioned heated grips. I put cheap grip heaters that lace onto the grips. What a difference when it gets cold. I can ride in any weather with warm hands. I am going to get full heated grips with a temp control. Mine are on or off. In mild weather I have to keep turning them on and off.

Had a 1980 1100 and rode it for 12 years had 100,000 miles on it when I sold it. Have a 1200 now and like it much better. Lots of service is easier. Carbs are easy to remove. The fairing is great in the winter but an oven in the summer. Coming off. The 1200 runs smoother than the 1100 and warms up quicker. I heard that Honda originally called the naked Wing a sport bike. Fully loaded Wing rides more like a dump truck and carries almost as much. I have gotten up to 200 miles on a tank of fuel (ran it empty once) I'm planning on removing the fairing this year. Tired of the heat. Saddlebags and top box have to stay. I use them all the time.

Thank you

he is not 6ft. he is 5ft 10". he is such a con man.

Just purchased my 08 EX 152,000, the crazy lady was asking 9k I talked her down to $7,000 which I still think is kind of high but whatever.

It burns ankles, because the pipes are routed up to the front first and then reverse to the rear. Any owner should want a tweak to better the situation. I have seen air inlets and removal of radiator shroud. An easy starter. It has a soft waterpump seal by design and the external alternator can be a concern, not outliving the bike. I can not see a problem with speed wobble and the frame was made little different in later years. The shock is adjustable in both height and its pre-tension, perhaps you did not find this little hole in the frame on the right. Try the three presets and see how the rear bounces differently. Nevertheless the weight of the ST1300 is enormous and therefor the model is no match to racing bikes or adventure models on the highway. Gearbox operating and clutch working will differentiate the model between supersport and commuting behavior. My bike has not learned the top speed in only seconds thing as of yet. Just tour, no sport/tour.

Recently found a mint 650r on marketplace and have loved riding dual sport style. I crank single track then cruise 60+ on the hwy back home. Super fun bike! Many people say it’s heavy, but coming from a yz250x the extra weight is really nice for the higher speed riding

I had a 2016 R1250R, I got rid of it within a year because the gear box was so horrible, the bike felt like it was going to break in half every time you shift into 1st. 2nd and 3rd gears w ere slightly better . Shift assist pro was excellent in the upper 3 gears. BMW dealer said I would get used to it like everybody else. I understand BMW has fixed the issue on the later models.

M I UU??? Wtf. mivv brother. Is a legendary brand.

Those of you selling them used ... $4995.99 IS actually 5k. For cris sake, just ask 5k. Really, no need for Bullshit. I'm gonna fish ya down to 4 to 4.5 k anyway. It's the 21 st century, we are wayyyy past your Shark Eyed Used Car Sales Tactics. AND it is offensive.

Yeah, I was afraid I was getting ripped off on an 08 EX with 152,000. The previous owner did replace a lot of parts including brand new Hankook all-terrain rated for snow tires +alignment=I don't know why those were put on there being that this vehicle is coming from Texas but it's good in my case cuz I live in a snow state. New rotors/brake pads all around, new tie rod ends all around, 4 new motor mounts, all new door checks, fresh oil change. Originally she was asking $9,000, then eventually she dropped it down to $7,500. After going back and forth we settled on $7,000-a Texas Element it's whole life so absolutely no rust(looks like fine silverware undercarriage)& the paint is in pristine almost showroom condition as well as the black molded trim pieces along the entire exterior looks almost brand new with no fade, black paint black trim love it. Sold my 03 Jeep Wrangler TJ to get this Honda, the only reason I did that is because I own a pot-bellied pig who I like to travel with in the vehicle when I go run errands,, now my pitbull and my pot belly pig can go with me everywhere.

Meh, I'll stick with my old Sportster!

Just bought an 09 ninja 250r for 2800$ with 10k miles. Can't wait

listening on my headphones when only left speaker work.... great review but...

Have you bought another ST1300? I thought you sold it some time ago ?

I have had a blue one just like that for 6 years now. It’s a very fun bike and makes a great commuter.

Pertaining to time 7:25 in the video, how does the ST1300 handle better than the ST1100 if the ST1300 has a wobble and the ST1100 does not?

The parts I hated was the low fuel capacity and short range.

Classy, informative, and pleasing to the eye and ear, the bikes and this vid, thanx so much

Excellent review, thank you!

Enough with these on-the-nose, whispered or mumbled covers of classic songs in a bunch of recent movie trailers. It's getting tiresome.

Bruh… no wonder all the cheap scion around my area is gone いいいいいえええええええ

Don't need one, but I can buy this same bike that has been sitting for like $500 in RI . They seem pretty cool. Nice video, thanks

I don't agree, I'm coming from a VTX1800R, so that may be why, but to me it's not heavey at all. I also love everything about my FJR as for handling and performance it's perfect.

Zuma: park with the gas pump on your left. YOU control what side the pump is!

I had both. I love both!! Definitely had its pros and cons.but I like the xB more for its reliability. Element was great too but HATE the clunk noise from the suspension. I still think the xB engine is more reliable than the element. But I love the tailgate from the element 😫… such a hard choice. Currently have an SC element but thinking about giving it to my nephew. My dumb but did finance it, so he’ll be taking the responsibility IF I let it go. Currently I need new mounts, I have a leak from the oil pan. Suspension must be changed. Need control arms for both sides. When I had the xB, I rarely had problems!!! This is actually my 3rd element, and I had identical issues in all of them. And that’s why I choose the xB over the element. Not by much though…

i did it this way and sweared a lot it was easier to see the other guy removing the headlight video.

My brake fluid won't even come out of my master cylinder to get to the caliper

Hi, 25 years old FJR owner here, I'll leave my experience with the bike down here for anyone interested (I'm from Italy so there may be some grammar mistakes, please forgive me). I rode my father's 2007 model for over a year & 15k km. I loved it, it was the first big Sport Touring bike I rode (at that time I owned a Moto Guzzi Breva 750 heavily equipped for 4seasons-long range touring... you can easily tell the FJR was a better bike for that kind of use). Then I bought a used 2020 FJR1300AE (in the European market that's the one with electrically adjustable suspensions) and I can say it feels and handles like a completely different bike. They weigh the same at around 300kg but the older made you feel that weight much more while riding. Also, the rear shock was never right, it was either too soft or too hard for the load & use I made of the bike, now with electronic adjustments it is always right, especially for me as I often change loads (I use it every day but only occasionally with a passenger and/or full bags). As far as comfort's concerned, I don't have any particular problem with it (maybe... maybe a tiny bit of butt-soreness after a few hours of riding, it depends on the kind of roads I'm riding onto) but I find everyone has their own experience on this topic, so there's no point in any further explanation. The 2007 had a tricky throttle response, it was like off/on and it made me sweat around tight corners in the mountains because you never knew when it was going to punch if you accelerated from a completely closed throttle, at any RPM but especially lower (in most cases I just had to ride slower, just being careful not to drop it) while the 2020 is way smoother and never had me worried about throttle response (btw I always use Sport mode because I only find Tour mode useful if you need extra smoothness in the wet... which you don't need because in Sport it is perfectly manageable anyway). The first time I rode the newer model it felt like a bicycle compared to the old one in terms of handling, so I basically bought it because of that and the mentioned smoother throttle. Now I've had it for 2 years & about 30k km and I would never change it with any other bike on the market (though maybe I'd like to test ride the BMW K1600GT... never say never). Yes, it is a bit tricky filtering through heavy traffic, and yes it is a bit warm in summer if you are forced to ride at low speeds (say below 50km/h), but I think overall I could not find a more suitable bike for my needs without spending more than double what I paid for it. Granted, I’m not the sportiest rider, I can confidently say I almost never rev over 5k RPM (‘cause I don’t need to), and in normal everyday use I find the FJR’s engine just beautiful to be used between 1800-3500RPM, but I like to ride twisty roads in the mountains at a certainly not-entirely-legal pace (ehm, am I allowed to say that?) and the 2020 FJR is just way easier for that than the older 2007, and even easier than anyone would think a 300kg bike to be. Obviously it’s not going to be faster or easier than any streetfighter bike out there, but as far as big Sport Tourers (real ones, not crossovers!) are concerned I honestly think it difficult to match, not only at its price point. I personally think if someone would want an FJR they should buy one of the latest models (2016+ have 6th gear, cruise control & other improvements over the old ones), possibly with electronic suspensions, UNLESS they rode an older model and found it of their liking. All in all, wether one likes it or not depends on one's needs and habits.

I want one of these I just worry about the maintenance part, but I’m guessing it’s probably easier than working on my ‘88 Goldwing.

Took the fairing off of mine in pursuit of the naked look shown on this bike Holy hell man, that fairing is HEAVYY!!

The shocks go bad?? Um doesnt that happen on every car??

I have admired this vehicle for a long time. I hope to buy one in 2025.

Bought my 2003 echo brand new. Has 318k on it. Base 5 speed roll up windows. Ordered it with no stereo. Thing has been unbelievable. Love it for going to gym and parts store.

I have one and barely has 543 miles

Yamaha

The Echo RS 4 door hatch is more rare than a mk4 supra. Less than 6000 units sold. Less than 1000 4 door RS hatch.

It is the same to my rav4 still driving in CកMBODIក

I bought my 2015 XT brand new, it has 30k miles and have toured, communited and also offroaded it. I’m 5’9” @ 155lbs. I can keep up with BMW GSA’s and other larger ADV’s and completely obliterate them on twisties. Never have had one single tiny issue with the bike whatsoever. If you’re looking for a V Strom get the 2015 650xt, upgrade the crash bars and Nash plate. They go for about $3800 currently

In the 2017, Toyota celebrated the 50th anniversary of Corolla. The Japanese keep redesigning and improving the car unlike GM, Ford & Chrysler who just give up and cancel the car after a few generations and replace with a new model

Did you say 1.6? Quarts? Liters? What grade of oil? Unanswered questions!

I’ll never own a non hybrid toyota

I know what you mean about your speed getting away from you. My F6B was the same way. I hated that I had to sell it.

Voila fr 🫵🏻❤️
