Nailed it my friend. I've been riding for 20 years and had many powerful bikes in this time. Recently I sold my MT09. FTR1200 and 1050XT and am working my way backwards to smaller bikes that you can ride hard everywhere. Much more engaging and enjoyable. Now on a Int 650 for road and 450MT for ADV. Little bikes for the win!

Hey mate, I'm in Auckland and there is a second hand almost new g30 on the market for 4000$. I was wondering if your view on this bike changed in the last year or if you would still recommend it? I can't find any other reviews on this bike beside yours so I thought I just reach out. It was always my dream to own a Himalayan but the price on the G30 is tempting. Would you recommend me to buy it or rather spend a bit more for a real royal Enfield? Cheers and keep up the good work 🤙
@roadblastmedia Ай бұрын
@@gornyboy the Enfield has a better finish and looks more classic if thats what youre in to. The g30 is a great little bike though its lighter and feels faster than the Himi. $4000 is a good price for a g30 and it uses the same motor as the CFMOTO 300s so its relatively easy to get parts for aswell. Go with what your heart says!

Usefull vid thans. Only had my first motorcycle lesson the road yesterday. Its still very difficult for me to decide what i want. In the past i did road cycling and real competition on quite a high level. I could ride on those uncomfortable racing bikes for hours without feeling discomfort. But i'm really wondering if i truly want to go for a sport bike. Because in a way, it does sound stupid. BUT, they just look so freaking cool and i want one. BUT perhaps after riding on it for a year i get bored and it just sucks. You said after about 90 minutes your body starts to hurt. I'm not planning on making longer trips then 90 minutes so i wonder how uncomfortable a sports bike would be for me. Perhaps with my past experience and a cyclist (And i still work out a lot, core stability training etc that helps with things like this) its not that bad for me? I'm willing to trade in some discomfort but i have no idea how bad it is. I think i should just go to a store and at least sit on one of them to get an idea. I can imagine it being more comfortable then a racing road bike (Tour the france bike i mean). But it could also be a bit worse.
@roadblastmedia Ай бұрын
@@jameswayton2340 heya mate! Yeah out of all motorcycles theyre the most uncomfortable on average but thats mainly the 600 class bikes. 300-400-650 are all reasonably comfortable for ling distance trips. 1000cc sportbikes are better than 600s but still pretty bad after a while. Go with what speaks to you and listen to your gut. Sport bikes are awesome but so are alot of other styles of bike too. Try ride and try as many different kinds as possible before making up your mind! Ive been through about 12 different bikes myself and ridden over 100 different bikes and have now found I prefer a more naked style of bike!
@jameswayton2340 Ай бұрын
@@roadblastmedia Hey thanks a lot for your reply that really helps. I had no idea that the smaller cc bikes are morecomfortable then 600 but 1000cc is better then 600cc? Do mind i'm super noob right now who's interest is just growing with every day passing, but i still have no clue about bikes haha. Meanwhile my Cousin told me that if i really want a sportbike i should probably not go higher then a 600. Doing that is already pushing it as a noob and having more power then that for a beginner is just plain stupid. But out of all the bikes i have seen its these sport bikes that i just fall in love with hard. So much that visually i don't want anything else. But i might regret that choice later.

@@jameswayton2340 fair enough mate yeah even something like a yamaha R7, CFMOTO 450SR Honda CBR650 are great beginner bikes without being too slow and still give the sporty look, if you do want to go full out sportbike. Get a Daytona 675 or 765. Theyre fast as hell. But a little easier power curve to live with compared to a 600cc 4 cylinder. Not comfortable by any means but that doesnt matter when it looks so good!
