Maybe Honda finally is gonna do something about almost half of their lineup and install some nice tft display not out dated 90s dash! Talking about US market ! Even 2024 cbr 600r has piece of shit 20 y/o dash

That was fantastic! The review, the editing, the footage. All amazing, thank you. New subscriber now :)

What do you mean by it is not easy to wheelie? To jerky, or wont do a power wheelie? Wont do a clutch up in higher gears in which throtle action is smoother ? Coming from an mt07 wheelies are very important to me. Many thanks

How tall are you man

It needs shorty pipes (black), a fat solo seat height adjustable on the fly., a fat front tire.....A bigger gas tank, Dogbones and drag bars....AND A CUPHOLDER!

Enduro on a 1300cc engine bike?No wonder you are exhausted.These bikes are made for the road,adventure does not mean riding in the bush,you can still have as much adventure riding down the highways.

Well, i have exactly this bike, and i cant think for shit. But its an amazing bike. I would only trade it for a triumph 1200 or a bmw 1250GS 2020

Probably my next bike. Quality for the price is amazing in my country. Cost cheaper than some chinese 125cc without ABS...

I'd have liked it milions times more if it wasn't loud

The R18 is probs the only cruiser id consider besides a harley except for maybe a suzuki m109r. Is it just me or does the riding position look kinda stressful though?

Getting Ricky Carmichael to over sea the development, will help it sell .

I prefer that 2-stroke sound type

what a fucking sound that thing makes

Is that kmpu or mpu on tacho??

$31,000 ?????? Nigga please !!!! They’re NOT SELLING !!!!!!

Love the look of the Rally and the test ride I had (in the UK). Issue is the cost. When compared to the BMW R1250 GSA TE its just not worth the difference in price. Might be a bit more hp at the back wheel but at the level I ride, ain't going to make much difference. As for BMW R1300 - ugly looking bike - not for me. Good review anyway. Well done. 👋👍

Great to have back home Spencer! Straight back into the dirt! You’re a legend ⭐️

Beautifully shot video - is that Victoria Australia? Can you really use all the power of this bike on these roads ?

How would you compair this to the triumph scrambler 400x? Looking to swap mine for the leoncino.

The outro was extremely well done, had to replay it a couple times!

Its not a rival, its the winner.

Thanks. I enjoyed it a lot watching this video.

Love that jacket

they both scream----""ï have a tiny penis""

exhaust pipe worth the scooter☠🤣

I live in that area can u put up a map or the names of the tracks ?

Good vid cheers, I have the triple black with spoke wheels, the TE version with all gizmos, it’s a great bike. Only thing I don’t like is quickshifter can lurch when changing down, almost like throttle still slightly open, but it isn’t. Did you notice this on your bike?

It’s a better bike, but look at the price. It’s not that cheap. Of course it’s better, but I can get a slightly used dual sport or even a T-7 for that price.

Great video, just that it is to be pronounced as "Himaalayan" than "Himlayan" . The name has meaning and the pronouncing it in wrong way would completely disregard that meaning. Thanks.

A great review!

In the US we expect full discloser, are you affiliated with the company? Did they provide the bikes to you? Do you make any money from any sponsors? You can, of course, understand why that would matter.

so many like to say well ya know Suzuki built that bike to bat the blackbird.. nothing could be further from the truth, considering the 96 1100 handled it in fashion.. look Suzuki created these bikes, all the sportbikes you see out there today? that's Suzuki, through and through.. . everyone copied them.. Suzuki didn't want to do anything more than make a big block of what they had already been producing, the GSXR 750, Suzuki really just wanted to one up themselves, they had the 1100, but in the older platform.. they wanted something new, something brave and bold for the new platform, so they did, and it still today 25 years later beats them all, its generally how it goes when you are the creator, and frankly the Suzuki is the best bike of them all, easier to work on, more comfortable, handling, more reliable, and welp, they win everything... just because ducati has to bribe the E5 into pushing the Japanese bikes out of racing so they can sell their ducks doesn't mean anything but what it is, a desperate move by a desperate company... Suzuki is no hurry to do anything, they're in the drivers seat, they'll let the johnny come lately's try to catch up then release a GSXR 1000 that will win every title for the next 10 years in superbikes again, then let off the gas.. see if anyone can catch up.. no one wonders why Suzuki isn't spending millions trying to catch up to the pack? or is it people think they just cannot do it even if they wanted tho throw billions at it? they are a company afer allin it to make profits, nto throw money and emiissions agencies and racing series.. id bet it all they already have the designs if not prototypes that put it out on the dynos already but as a company with integrity and grit they are not going to allow E5 or anyone else to push them around or dictate what they should do, and they certainly proved they aren't going to allow any racing series to push em around, they don't need to race and there isn't ANYTHING these companies can do to change Suzuki .. no one wonders why Suzuki hasn't released an updated 1000 for the non euro racing series? welp the 10 year old gsxr 750 keeps bringing home the bacon year after year there is no need to, Suzuki knows who the King of the Road is and who the followers are.. and until another company can prove them wrong on this I don't see them in any hurry to do anything different.. lets face it, 50% of the sportbike community are Suzuki loyalists so not having Suzuki in road racing hurts them, not Suzuki, and Suzuki knows this.. so why should Suzuki bend, when its a crooked euro that needs to bend, or leave, same for the racing series, Suzuki doesn't need to bend for them, its the other way around, look what Suzuki has done for motorcycle racing in the last 50 years.. it wouldn't be where it is today without Suzuki, PERIOD, and a lot of folks need to remember this and start showing the respect they should be showing. . I am so proud of Suzuki for not bending to these people, that shows pure integrity and determination, morals . . its all about money for these people who want to change this rule or that rule.... no one actually needs them, who needs an agency to determine how much noise a bike can make, or how much fuel it can burn yadda yadda... these people just hurt racing, so maybe Suzuki is waiting for racing to do something about these people who are intent on hurting motorcycle road racing? the sooner this agency gets their hands out of racing the sooner racing can get back to racing.. its that old adage, DRAIN THAT SWAMP!

well done brother that was a fun review to watch, and also funny interesting and most of all - HONEST

Hello from the UK 👋 good review there, I believe the fueling has now been sorted through software updates. I have test ridden and ordered a 2024 model 800MT, I was really impressed with it and found it better than the Honda transalp, it rides better and the amount of kit for the money is insane. I also have a Honda fireblade and disagree with you on TC, my blade with 180bhp doesn’t haven’t TC so I’m confident a 95bhp bike doesn’t need TC but each to their own. I can see why you don’t like it on the dirt, I think it was designed way more for the road than off road. For context, the transalp is £9600 with absolutely nothing. The CF Moto is £9200 with absolutely everything. No brainer.

As a woman, i am also enjoying the 900 GT. Not only men 😂😂😂

Maybe a set of floating Brembo rotors and a set of Kineo wheels?

Is he the same guy in the car when Brock crashed and died?

I have the 21 mdl great bike even though I'd be jealous of the extra hp in the new one. You'd be surprised how far the factory Bridgestones will get you as long as its dry.

@infomoto @info moto any updates on the speed twin

But it sounds terrible during normal daily driving. Like a diesel truck. The test drivers were obviously all deaf. In this price segment, with this history, a terrible fail.

The story of the keys is rubbish. My V-Strom is also equiped with the Givi cases and I have only one key for all the three cases.

I did my first off road in my life, I'm no pro neither I have taken any training but trust me this bike is a peice of cake to ride anywhere n everywhere. What a fun to ride this bike deep inside a forest

Nice!

LCD screen and polarised sunglasses just don’t work.

Hey Mick! You're too modest. I wish you'd told some anecdotes about what you, Al and Crawf used to get up to, in the early days when you managed Peter Stevens in Footscray. I reckon everyone would like to hear about your later successes at events like The Phillip Island Classic, too. I really enjoyed listening to the banter between you three. Well done, both of you, on your successes through the years, and what you've done for Motorcycle racing in Australia, aswell as contributing to our international reputation.

>ride by wire, TFT dash, rider modes and rider modes computers up the wazoo on an off-roady bike? wake me up when they strip all that crap back and release the Scram 450..

I think you might confuse the price with the RSV4 😅 Here in the Netherlands this bike costs €15.399 the regular one costs 2K less.

It’s a Wanderstiefel. A trekking boot. You choose, high-tech or classic and the market offers it for you. You want climbing boot? It’s not it, Running shoes, the same, it’s not it. You have a range of other motorcycles excelling in that and more so not excelling in anything, but doing the same thing as the GS, wandern, and you don’t need to sell your kidneys for it. None of the available bikes can be service in any distant world country you may dream of getting yourself into if you’re not supported by a specifically hired tour-support-team. Yes, forget the little 300, that, too, as most of those countries survive on scooter and bikes below 150cc of lowest chinese production. Your actual use-case determines what makes sense. You determine whether you buy what makes sense or what makes your heart run or whatever your indicator is for purchase, or even not, because let’s face it, most of us have decent bikes already, a couple of them eventually. My ranks on tuttiterrani motocicletta: - long-range wandern: moto guzzi v85tt - long-range off-road: T7 (crf300rally tuned-up for strong solo girls) - long-range de luxe: triple black beem (too many annoying niggles on the DCT AT 19”, still a great second in line), and no I would stay away from the adventure, not worth it, get an off-roader. - long-range road-sport: Kawasaki Versys 1000 (what? Hahahaha, shocked? You trust Ducati for long-range? I don’t!) - long-range lightweight: does not exist, has never existed since the early paris-dakar days. - long-range classic: RD07 - no I won’t go into any non long-range.
