For my snows I use cooper evolution winter tires... 225 60 16

Super ❤❤🤔👍👍

Hi, I realize this video is from a long time ago... but I'm hoping you can answer a question for me on the mounting brackets. I just bought a 2008 VFR800 and want to add luggage. The previous owner had removed the rear fender and installed an aftermarket small license plate bracket which relocates the light and tucks both up in-between the mufflers. My question is about the part that connects the brackets to the fender. If that were NOT installed, would the cases still be held securely? It seems like that part would maintain the integrity of the structure if the bike were tipped over, but in regular use it seems it may be possible to do without. Or would the process of attaching the bags cause issues? I know you can't answer definitively, but curious about your thoughts on the question.

what gen of vfr800 is that? will the givi v35 fit the gen 8 - and is a special rack mount needed?

omg,this so funny. it reminds of how my dad was when first got his first smart phone lol

Holy Shit, is this Captain Drone?! Love your content. I’m thinking of buying an old VFR800 for touring and this came up in my research 😂

this is cool

Classy !!!!

I know this is an old video, but I just store my brackets INSIDE the bags when they are not on the bike, dont need that extra bag.

S1000XR and Multistrada Pikes Peak are the Swiss Army of Motorcycles

I bought 4 Drift Ghost, one Ghost X and three ghost XL, all four had the same problem, the display stops working, all writing disappears and the display is colored and the wifi stops working. In short, there is no way to configure the camera anymore. Make no mistake, if it gets rain it will spoil!

hi can you please tell me how these tires feel going about 60 without any snow is it a rougher ride thanks

Will those cases fit on the OEM rack?

Great video thanks 👍

good vid, thank you! i had originally discounted getting "aftermarket" side bags.....i guess because i'm finicky......but these actually look like a good option! especially since OEM hardbags are so hard to find.

I spotted a drone ...😁

Nice video adventuredude

I’ve had an XR for 18 months and I agree with most of the review; I have a standard / not lowered bike, I’m 5’9inches and I can reach the ground with my heels in standard one rider mode. Are you sure you’re 5’11 cos I have a friend who insists that he’s 6 foot but we’re eye to eye when standing / his head isn’t abnormally tall lol. I also found that the indicator switch seems a bit flimsy/ cheap and doesn’t have a nice solid operation like my previous ZZR1400 and Honda Blackbird.

Super rich neighborhood he resides in.

Хороший мотоцикл!!!!

Excellent battery life? 2 hours? or 3 ?

I am considering this bike and your review will help a lot. Thanks for this honest review!

Just wish it was shaft driven, as i hate chains.Of course, this would change the character of the bike, making it less appealing, i'm sure.

I do like the look of this bike. It has received raved reviews, and will be a fitting change from my 2009 BMW 800st.

Ik this is old but I feel like this guys a doctor. When he said here and here I felt like a doc had a stethoscope on my chest.

Will those mounts work with OEM sidecases?

BMW makes a great bike.

Thanks for the honest review!

Nice, thanks for sharing.

looks sharp

thanks for the vid; I was wondering which size to order. I don't care what it look like; I want to be safer in the snow. I definitely did not want to order them from the dealer they were talking 170 just for the tire.

Velociter lol

I find myself in agreement with most of the points you make ... except the one about it looking better with the bags (or panniers if you will, because they're not really 'bags' are they ?). So much so that when I was looking at luggage for mine I opted for the top box instead and I've removed the pannier rails accordingly... much better looking in my opinion. I do accept though that this is purely subjective and to each his own. All in all though, it is a great bike, isn't it ? That engine is a peach and pulls like a freight train (if you'll pardon the mixed metaphor ☺).

Great review! Thanks for uploading. I am thinking of buying the 2018 model, and would like to hear from you on any reliability issues if you have faced. Thanks By the way I too had the CBR1000RR '04 until recently. Had to sell that though..

An interesting fact about the XR, it’s quicker to 60 mph than it’s super bike older brother due to the RR due to shorter, more aggressive gearing. It’s also easier to power wheelie thanks to that 👍 just ordered one 🤘🏻

I'm also trying to get acclimated with my Time Lapse on the Drift Ghost S - Have you found the best time interval yet to make it as smooth as possible?

Thanks for sharing. Really informative and short - and very good picture quality.

Nice video, but the background music is good for nothing

nice bike

2 years later, what are your thoughts on the bike?

Hello Adventuredude! Can you please let me know where you got the matching color panel for your Givi V35 case?

I'm getting some winters for my VT this week and I have to say how awesome your car looks on the smaller rims! Very nice <3

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this1 I just received a set for my '07 VFR and spent most of the afternoon struggling with aligning it, in vain. Your video should push me over the top.

My gripe with bikes is that top gear, and usually that's a sixth gear these days, is that they are not highway gears. A close ratio 6 speed gearbox is probably right for the race track but not for the real world. Sometimes we ride motorways and A-grade highways and low engine revs would be pleasant for those times to get a relaxed feel. I read a review of this bike that says it revs at 4500rpm at 100km/hr in sixth gear. That is definitely not a relaxed touring feeling. The only bike I have read about that has anything like I'm wanting is the Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 with a true overdrive sixth gear but its a cruiser so its not going to be good fun on the twisties.

I have the HP seat, much more comfortable

How long does it record for

I think the most important fact an individual can take from this whole video is that his CBR has 115k KM or about 70kUS miles on it. Tired of people saying 20k miles are high on a bike.

Good lad good review

i just like the voice but I also enjoy this review)

From 7:55 you pulled in the clutch to get around the car ,,,,,Why ?....i am not a troll , The wife does the same thing and i cant understand why..I was hoping you would help..please
