2024 Honda GB350 - I'm Over 70 And Some Say Too Old To Ride!

[@edwardcaco8534]

G'Day Mate! New sub from New England USA. I'm pushing retirement myself and down to my last bike in the barn - a 2021 Honda CB300R (blue). I'm pretty rural and stick to the back road twisties. I've been complaining to Honda for years about not bringing the CB350 / GB350 / CB350RS to the USA and UK markets. The SCL500 here is above price point in this economy and quite frankly a very plain rendition of it's scrambler ancestor, and not much more than a redesigned Rebel-I've told Honda as much. Honda needs to 'read the room' in this economy and realize that the strongest 'buying' sector for motorcycles is us old dudes and this bike checks the right boxes ;-) Cheers!

Never to old Warro, keep on driving and enjoying yourself.

[@keithmiller5551]

I'm 74 and bought a GB350 in January. As another utube channel says, 'old not dead'. Passed my bike test in 1968.

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

Another way to look at it...lol Cheers

[@kawakarma]

All the best. ‘You don’t stop riding when you get old. You get old when you stop riding!’ Giddy up!

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

I never actually thought of it that way. Hope to put out some interesting content too. Firt road rides/roadside coffee break ans show the modifications i've done to this smart looking bike. cheers

[@russellaird1858]

Thanks for the review, mate 👍

[@terrykeil6751]

I'm 69 and still in decent health and I agree with you..keep going. I have a Honda ct125 here in Thailand and I enjoy riding. I wish I had the back country roads to drive on like you have. Do you still have your Ride with Warro Chanel ?

[@theblazzed2114]

God bless you with many more years of riding! Ride safely out there. From experience, I’ve noticed that after turning 60 or 70, my parents began driving cars worse than before. Whether it's due to not paying attention or other reasons, I’m not sure. But I hope you stay focused, as this is crucial in motorcycling.

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

Yes i hate to say it but I didn't feel too safe in with my old man......and that was in the 1970's. Not the tables have turned! Anyway I'm going dirt and like to photograph the Australian fauna and flora and the best place to do that is on lonely backroads. I might even do some ride and cook/coffee breaks too. Well i have plans all i have to do is put them into practise. cheers

[@Johnelilopez]

Love the video & the bike, i have the Honda CB 300r & i hope to be still riding at 70+. Your inspiring buddy keep it up & ride safe out there.

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

Thanks. Bike seat was a bit hard and as much as i hate to say...gave the prostate a bit of a workout. i had to pull the seat and cut a square out and I fitted some blue gel from ebay. that appeared to work as I got out of this rough dirt ride with no more issues Cheers

[@edwardcaco8534]

@@bushcraftsaustralia6766 I put a LuiMoto gel insert under the skin of my CB300R and it make all the better difference. Looks OEM but feels so much better than OEM ;-)

[@2ndchanceinlife]

Please, show us more of this beautiful country , Australia with your bike !

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

I hope to do just that. Hope to bringin some photography, drone and points of interest.great things planned. Cheers

[@user-abob-1800c]

Way to go mate I’m 72 and doing the same thing on a. Honda Valkyrie 🤠

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

Thanks. Don't actually no that bike but it sounds pretty good. I'm thinking more doing backroads and showing local flora and faunta plus add a meal beak. Thats what I think so far.Forget the drone. that too Cheers

[@bumpyroads7934]

After watching all your gb 350 vids I will be getting mine by the end of Sept. Your videos definitely helped my decision on getting this bike.

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

Glad I could help.Great bike which is a lot better than one would think.Easy to ride too. I like it!

[@robcoles6288]

I'm 73. Bought a GB350 in January. Maybe I need supervision, as girlfriend bought one too. It's perfect for touring the Sunshine Coast hinterland.

[@MrBenHaynes]

All Aussie Adventures, time to hit the road! Good one Warro. 9 years out and counting. Empty nesters now, so plenty of space for the wife and I once I clock off for the final time.

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

Sounds great!

[@geoff9512]

That looks like a beautiful place to ride a bike. Good luck with the videos!

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

It is! I found it a little bit rough really but i thought slow and steady will be best. Only real issue I never had puncture repair kit but they are new tyres. I will look into that side. i plan to do some roadside coffee breaks as I have various camping stoves and a drone too

[@_drewpanton]

What a great channel! Never too old. And the mouth has more than a hot chocolate ☕️

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

Wow, thank you! Great to hear you actually liked it. took me quite some time to put it together too Cheers

[@billscott1601]

I’m 72, I ride dirt bikes with guys in their 80’s. I ride a Beta Xtrainer and Yamaha FZ1. You have to decide when you’re too old to ride. If you’re going to ride more dirt, you might consider a different bike, something lighter that you can pick up by yourself.

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

Good point there.My plan is to do just slows rides to show a bit of the local countryside. Cheers

[@tonyhawkins1258]

GB350 never came to the UK, so the RE Hunter has to be good enough for me, thoroughly enjoying it and will be putting trail tyres on at as well!

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

I see no reason why not. This one runs well on the dirt and it's really a road bike. I have a few ride plans myself. Cheers

[@CommonsFilms]

Legend… keep riding brother 👍😎

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

Thanks ✌️

[@houragents5490]

It's all about staying healthy and taking care of your body and mind.

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

Spot on there. Cheers

[@rosstrevor8303]

Good on you mate ,a few years behind you retired and ride a Africa twin still attacking most stuff black top to dirt roads and mid range tracks. Retire kick back and take it easy they said lol.

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

That is a pretty bike bike indeed. You didn't fool about there. I plan to do just slow dirt roads and maybe pull over for a quick coffee. I think i can show quite a bit of the local fauna and flora and go from there Cheers

[@rosstrevor8303]

@@bushcraftsaustralia6766 Looking forward to see you next adventure mate and remember , always ride at your own pace and terrain your comfortable tackling.

[@philipfisher4244]

I know a bloke in his 80s still rides a Suzuki Hayabusa

[@FraserRobertTorpy]

Your video did more to sell GB350s that Honda ever could. Bit smaller than I'm used to, but that ride looked like a ripper on that bike!

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

Thankyou. Next clip out I plan to show what I've done. I need a sump gaurd I think too. Plan to ride it in more off road rough country. Well thats my plan. Cheers

[@theodavies8754]

Go for it. Wider camera angle works better. Too much to do to retire.

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

Good tip there. Will try that out on the next clip.cheers

[@AndyPat239]

nice bike m8

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

Thanks!

[@xXceejaybeeXx]

Enjoy your retirement!

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

That's the plan! Plenty of wide open country around here to ride so much more content to come

[@bushcraftsaustralia6766]

We will! I have some great dirt road rides planned for the channel so I think it should be a great experiece to follow. Well i hope so Cheers

[@erkmenzeki]

Ride with warro?

[@Crochetbyemma]
