If you think that, than the need to do the Oxley highway over Walcha Mountain in NSW, it has over 300 corners in 130km.

How cool would it be hooking 2 or 3 up together and have them all charge a larger power supply, I would love to have a few mates with 1 each and set them all up to the same supply!

Once you're cruising around at 80kph you should be shifting into 6th. That will stop the vibration in the handlebars

I got diagnosed with MS almost a year ago and I’m 32. I’ve been wanting to get my first street bike and this video has made me want it even more. Life has changed drastically for me but I also have a brand new perspective on my life and how precious living really is. I hope you win this lifelong fight my friend. Stay strong!

Glad you made it to the gas station! I’ve had my share of low fuel anxiety too, gps taking me to a gas station that was no longer in business. Had to turn back and head towards another town and creeped in just in time on my Concours. The joys of solo riding!!

I found a great little upgrade for my 06 Mean Streak, and think you'll really appreciate it. The foot pegs from a Vulcan 750 will fit right on it like they were made for it, and they have a rest that extends from the backside of them to put your heels on to prevent fatigue on the long rides. Good luck.🇺🇲 I enjoyed your style of reviewing so much, I've subscribed.

I have a Buell, that is crazy fun to ride, and right now I´m actually wanting to add a bigger cruiser to have my gf with med , so looking at a Yamaha Warrior xv 1700 or perhaps a MeanStreak 1600 ....hmm.. if its comfy enough for 2 up.

Sorry to burst your bubbles but the Gillies Road in Cairns is not Australia's best and most corners. The Oxley Highway which actually goes from port Macquarie to walcha. The actual Road itself has a lot more corners but the mind section it is famous for is that the bottom of the hill to the other side 300 corners back to back and just when you think you're out of one you go into another. When you get to the top it opens out big wide open Flats infinite view and the road is wide enough to land an aeroplane and if you're brave you can open the throttle write up and keep going until you reach Aspley Falls there you can take a breather and enjoy the waterfall. And also halfway up the Oxley Highway is ginger town good respite and fuel.
@PaddyOutback 3 ай бұрын
Not true mate. The Gillies has the most corners in the shortest distance. The Oxley is significantly longer, meaning that the corners aren’t as densely packed.

Just found one of these in Dublin. Would you recommend this for a new rider in a wetter city?
@PaddyOutback 3 ай бұрын
Absolutely, yes although make sure it’s an ABS model as it’s less terrifying on damp roads if you have to drop the anchor. That’s not a deal breaker though. Would be savage for zipping around Dublin and more than enough power for when you go beyond the M50.

These days i dont need heaps of power due to speeding laws..if i decide to fang i can use my Ducati Scrambler cafe. I much prefer the look of my original 1975 CB400F four. I guess its horses for courses but IMHO Is too modern and angular for my liking. However, the world would be a boring place if we all liked the same bike. The water cooler detracts from the beauty of a swept 4 into 1 exhaust but understand it would be more reliable especially in hot climates. The aftermarket pipe sounds good but doesnt do it any visual favours. I also prefer the original 400 integrated seat and tank with very little angles. Its just my 2 cents worth and means nothing to anyone but me. A good review though. Thanks Paddy.
