G,day guys, watching while cooking the Christmas dinner, hope you all have a great Christmas and merry new year.

So being wider than the 4x4 that is still legal on the road? My fear is wiping someones guard off in a tight manoeuvre.

Hey greetings from Greece a have a similar xv250 do you have any suggestions o what battery should i buy?? around 80-130 $ ?

Thanks Mark.

I would have gone with ape hangers

Are you not up loading the podcast on iheart radio anymore. I looked up she'd talk or biker bits podcast. And neither are on it anymore? Got my amswer at the end. Kinda sucks....that is not a podcast per say anymore. I enjoyed being able to listen while i workd. This is why we cant have nice things i suppose.

Man, the bike sounds awesome! Triumphs are such cool bikes. I like the looks of the 400 scrambler too. I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.

My Jackery has just arrived. I hate manuals so your video was wonderful. Off to enjoy this great country with some reliable electricity. Thank you from Queensland.

That looks a great setup.👍 I have the same bike with a few of the same extras, rear rack, XE sump guard, hand guards and as I'm in the UK, heated grips!😂 The max payload of the rear rack is listed as 2kg which is ridiculous IMO. Maybe it's just to deter some idiot from using it as a pillion seat? I opted for the Triumph handguards which are pricey. I have a handlebar brace fitted which means the Bark Busters wouldn't fit and the Triumph items fit seamlessly to the existing brake + clutch lever brackets. I also have a much smaller screen fitted, more to protect the instrument panel than for any wind deflection. I like the idea of the extra rear mudguard protection, maybe not very "street cred" but who cars if it works!👍 I also have an enduro bike for serious off rod stuff but for light off road and touring, the 1200x wins hands down over any of the full blown "Adventure" bikes IMO.👍 What is that stuffed in the top exhaust pipe, looks like steel wool?

I disagree If you are riding off road please invest in the best protection on your feet u can. Even before a jacket, there is more change of the bike falling on your feet than hitting your upper body.

Looks exactly like what we need for our big cross country trip next year. Good review, cheers.

I'm about to get this bike but realistically its well almost never go off road so the 21" narrow wheel seems not ideal for my uses. I'm 6'4" 36" inseam but bike feels comfortable. How's the road performance?

650 or how was it my gosh

Why would you tour on a bike with no farings?

I Have This On My KLX 300 SM , It Sounds Great . . .

I MASSIVELY miss your man cave Tuesday’s seeing house updates etc but I get you had to slow down a bit

If you want pure performance to weight just get a ktm 790 adventure and worry about the future later. It will blow your mind. The 105hp cancels out the weight issue but it also lighter than the modern competition

What are the items I need for this DR650 to use after market blinkers?? I thought while adding the racks and top plate I might as well do the smaller blinkers

Sounds nicer than my 900 scrambler

You’re going to pay that for a Tiger so it compares ok I think. Horses for courses I guess 😎

Can't understand why no one seems to use a jackstand instead of a hydraulic ram. A jackstand (the worm gear type, not the bevel gear.) has an intrinsic safety consideration in that the load can not be transmitted back through the mechanism and cause lift to fail should the power/pressure to the lifting component be removed. A hydraulic/pneumatic/cable/etc mechanism requires a safety stop to prohibit the lift from uncontrollably falling should the driving force for the mechanism fail. A jackstand with a worm gear drive can not do this. Plus, it is a relatively simple affair to I corporate a motor to drive the input shaft, a windscreen wiper motor or boat anchors winch with the motor situated perpendicularly for example will both easily work.

Does it download satellite imagery along your track for off-road / offline usage?

You haven’t aged. What’s the secret?

Did they tie your bike down in any way?

Reminds me more of a offroad cruiser.

great bike but i cant see 23k in one

I’ve always liked those bikes!

Lovely bikes but I am just wondering about ground clearence. Not motox stuff but gravel secondary(3rd rate ?) gravel roads ?

Ah man I like it. Sounds great to.. oh and good to see the ol KLR is still there hehe 👍👍👍

Great to see you back at it! keep on keeping on👍

Nice job mark. I love these honest videos of yours. Yes, the Triumph is out of my budget as well, but it sure is fun to watch you ride one. You are kicking the pig. Bring it! Texas on the Prairie

Thanks for the analysis! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

Bloody ripper Mark 🤙

Great read..very interesting..what would be its price?

The introduction was too long.

Alphie stole the show. Great looking dog! Bike wasn't that bad either! 😂 I only wish I had off road around me, I live in a concrete jungle. Maybe one day, I will have a backyard terrain to explore. 😊

Love the Triumph Scramblers, sexy capable bikes.👍

Good to see you on a bike Mark! I would kill right now to be in a place like the proving ground. Did I see a CF Moto 450?

Thanks to you and David for showing us the bike. Nice one 🍻👍🇦🇺

Great looking bike. Love the note !

Ripper review Mark. Great to see u back in the saddle. Great sounding bike Davo..👌

Good to see you back mate, hope you are well

Anyone else notice the stainless steel scourer in the exhaust?

Hey Mark, cool to cya back mate. Been watching you for many years now. I went to Uni in Bendigo many many years ago(late 90s). Picked myself up a little CRF300L back in May, have recently added a full exhaust, opened up the air box, flashed ECU, Acerbis 14L tank, Dunlop D606 tyres. Shes a little beauty mate.. absolutely love it and goes way better after the mods. I'm in Melbourne, but my family is in Mildura where i grew up. I was recently back home and took the CRF out to the Murray Sunset National Park, around Rocket Lake etc... it was a blast. Had a great day...🙂 All the best Mark, hope all is well and hope to see ya back again soon 👍

Mark you bloody ripper mate, good to see ya.

Bloody love Triumphs currently ride a Tiger 900 Rally pro and would love to add the scrambler in the garage

"Do as I say, not as I do." 😄

Good to see you making a vid. All the best

nice bike but not 20k+ bike
