Our opinions of this bike couldn't be more different. To me, the firm seat gets more comfortable over increasing distances, the riding position is one that i never think about, never get achey lower back, sore wrists or pins&needles (supersports do all of that within minutes), and everything's exactly where i want it. The engine is docile and easy around town, with the brakes kept covered there's always plenty of poke for all eventualities from just the small throttle movement that that allows you. Handling always feels easy and lightweight, like a bmx, throwable to the point of feeling like you're taking liberties with it, no matter what speed. Suspension is firm but well damped and compliant, i stiffened the rear to about the middle setting to remove some high speed undulation bounce. With a nice amount of throttle (up to perhaps 50% opening) and a nice amount of revs (up to 4500rpm or so) it'll cruise along all day, happily looking at the scenery, nothing's a bother. Then, you wind it on, let the motor spin, and boy doesn't it just wake right up. Tippy telepathy. I've always found myself thinking "Japanese Buell". I do understand what you mean about not being able to ride it slowly, there is a point with things where it goes from docile and easy going to absolute "come on then, let's have ya!", it doesn't want to jog, either walk or sprint, if the revs are over 5000, walking isn't happening. It's never felt nervous, skittish, poorly set up, any of that sort of thing. I'd expect a bike to take umbrage at things like gravel and leaves, as far as grip is concerned i describe them as being unfair, but nothing else seems to bother it. At no point should any of that be taken as me saying you're wrong about anything, obviously that isn't the case, it just feels remarkable that we're talking about the same bike

[@Mrfish2015]

I said the bike is fantastic...

[@davidklementis5913]

I really think this is a great video for people to watch before purchasing a bike. It was a good reminder to me that there are a lot of bikes I really like, but to take into consideration my body when making a decision. People always talk about your riding style, but rarely do they talk about how old injuries, medical conditions or aging should also be an important factor in the decision. Thank you for explaining why it was that this bike wasn't a good bike for you as an individual.

[@Mrfish2015]

Always have to tell the truth , sometimes you have to admit defeat 😂

[@harleycross4170]

Great honest review. I was considering this bike, but had these reservations myself. This has helped.

[@michaelevans1658]

Loved the exhaust fitting episode ,nice to see the trials of a normal person getting to grips with mechanics .

[@Mrfish2015]

Normal is stretching it

[@thesmellypocket1]

Had to come back to this video, to see why you went back to the AT. Totally agree with you about the roads. Love riding the AT on the B roads and a little mild off road.

[@paulhorton5594]

I said before I miss my Africa Twin when I can afford it I will get another one . You have made the right decision .

[@anthonytaggart5598]

So glad you posted this. I've just done 13k on my CB1000R and have no choice but to retire it to the garage and bought another bike because of the exact reasons you explained. I've earned 6 points on it within the 16 months of owning this bike as riding slow is bitey and jerky as hell, I also could NEVER get comfortable on it. I even got bar raisers which only made a slight bit of difference mixed with spending hours adjusting the suspension hoping to find a sweeter ride on B roads of commuting. What eased up the jerky bitey feeling was to turn off engine braking. I had permanent pins and needles in my legs and the bike always felt like it wanted to fall over on low speed cornering. My arse also started hurting within minutes on being on it. Just could never get to trust it. Another thing, seriously watch for rust on the front petrol tank mounting brackets, in fact watch for rust all over that tank. Paint job is rubbish. These front brackets are hidden so you won't see the rust until you remove the front plastics. Watch for water getting into the clocks too. I don't want to go on too long about the negatives, which there are many, but on the positives that engine is a beauty and sounds absolutely amazing. The quick shifter is smooth as a kitten. That bike has an incredible sound when quickly accelerating between 4th and 6th and always turns heads. The attention I get on it is like no other. Sadly, the positives are too few for me mixed with the endless problems which Honda won't warranty. So it must go. Now got the new BMW F900XR. What a difference and pleasure to ride. Good luck and hope you can find some sort of comfort on it.

[@vincentreeves3003]

I knew you'd miss her. AT every time. Seeing yours and test riding at dobles made me get one and love it.

[@Mrfish2015]

Nice

[@eloyruizherrero8754]

The fascination has been able. I just canceled the order for the X ADV and kept a red CB 1000 R that they had in stock. It will be my everyday motorcycle, as long as my body lasts. Thanks again.

[@lynsmith1096]

Good video Mr Fish and it will be nice to see you back on the Africa Twin.

[@richardsloan3982]

Thanks Mr fish love your reviews there my go to for Honda which I also love. I’m trying to decide on cb1000r, vfr800 and fireblade for next bike I plan on doing a lot of touring so I’m edging towards the vfr800 thanks again

[@Dan_B_Rides]

Oh man! I am one of those who stay till the end n all I can say oh my god! In my mind, that’s a seriously good idea mate. I like ya thinking. Great video though mr fish 👍🏻

[@eloyruizherrero8754]

Thank you very much for your honesty. I am a veteran motorcyclist with some other injury, the worst in the shoulder, and I am hesitating between the CB 1000 R and the X ADV (among others I have also seen your test). I agree with you on the psychological aspect (I owned a CB 900 F back in the day) and they are motorcycles that like to ride fast on twisty roads, and now, at least in Spain, things about speed have really gotten serious. Perhaps the X ADV, although I think my riding level is very high, will allow me to enjoy the road in a more rational way. Although the truth is that the CB 1000 R exerts a great fascination on me.

[@bikemaddan9311]

Only recently subscribed so catching up on your vids, I recently sold my CB1000r, it’s a killer on the wrists

[@hartley383]

Cant say i was surprised at your decision, for me the big surprise is you didnt go for it over the CB in the first place. But youve had one now, tried it and it wasnt to be. You know youre gonna love the AT.

[@MrJizez]

Really looking fforward to see you on the latest Africa Twin, I hope you choose the version with gear, as DCT sucks big way in city driving.

[@andysmily6535]

Realy Nice video…thanks for the review

[@mychaelpierce8049]

I agree the looks are awesome! I ended up with a 17 CBR 1000RR and 18 AT over this, but will still like to get one! Maybe the updated 2021.

[@ne21]

Good review that, lot’s of valid points about new ownership, I’ve had a few myself, I just moved the bike on until I was reasonably happy with what I got. btw thought you liked red! New subscriber here now. Cheers.

[@Samuel-vb8ms]

Such a good point about the mental relationship with a bike. I had a cute little vespa, slightly modded with some performance rollers and I could beat almost any sports bike off at the lights. The scooter begged to be dragged at each light. They seem to have their own personalities.

[@CodgerBiker]

I returned from AT to a Duke. I tried to get on with it, but my back, wrists and that speed thing (exactly as you describe, you nailed the psychological aspect) was too much. After you’ve has an Adv, or reached a certain age maybe, it’s hard to change to an all out road bike. In the end I caved in... I hope it works out 👍

[@alvindavenport5657]

I was surprised when you let your AT go for the CB. I’ve had my VStrom 1000 for over 4 years and have considered trading it several times. I’ve owned over 60 bikes in my 30 plus years of riding. I’ve had sport bikes, cruisers, dual sports and sport tourers. I recently sold an RC51 for many of the reasons you mentioned. I tended to ride too fast, was worn out after a day’s ride, and figured I’d hurt myself eventually. I have neck issues and staring at the ground in front of the bike wasn’t a healthy way to get around. I kept my VStrom and Harley Sportster. I really missed the comfort and visability the adventure bike riding position offers. I also appreciate the versatility the adventure bikes provide. You can ride them fast, you can just putt around, or you can ride on roads most sporty bikes should avoid. Once you get that in your blood, you just can’t get it out. I realize trading this soon isn’t a wise move financially, but sometimes you just have to cut your losses and do what you know you need to do.

[@brendonsmith5836]

Mr Fish did you get your self a new Africa twin 😍😉if so well done

[@jfro5867]

I tried an AT last year (1000 model) and liked it but I chose a DCT Crosstourer instead and it's fantastic. Don't believe the haters (wanna b ex racer journo's) it's a magnificent road bike. Comfy, super stable, very well made and it's got cat like balance. Think you suited the AT better. IMHO. Nice vlog tho.

[@traviscarter9300]

Man that sucks you can't live with it. Such a great moto. IMO you are wrong about touring on it. Throw some sw motech slc side carriers and some abs pannis on it and it will be good to go for a weekend blast. Loving my 2021 cb 1000r. Good luck brother.

[@bsacrazy]

Looks a fab bike, ergonomics would be a bit tough for me, cracking video really enjoyed it.

[@SuperGinkgo]

Glad you are thinking it out, get the DCT (you can use paddles in town) to save ya wrist and mellow it off. You recognise your triggers, work on them. We are a very similar vintage Fish and I hear where you are coming from. You (we) don't bounce that well and you need to acknowledge that. Resist the transforming into random genitals and get back in ya groove... I do hope you are gonna trade it on an AT, not chuck ohlins, knobblies and luggage at the CB.

[@badjuju6563]

100% agree with the assessment of the bike. Getting on the throttle hard and seeing 17l/100km is exciting on the wallet too. However I already have a 2016 AT in the stable which was racking up unnecessary highway kms.... :-)

[@Lochwood92]

Loved the vid as always.. always straight to the point my friend. Firstly, you must get this a lot but why do you sound like Lamb Chops.. your voices are so similar😂. Secondly I get what you say, I vlog in Scotland on my CB and it takes a bit of getting used to but I love the looks and the attention and my riding style is moulding to it.. seen your PodCast with TP.. you seem a genuine guy. Keep them coming mate. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@Mrfish2015]

Thanks mate , I’ll tell chopsy he sounds good 😂

[@mikeeger7581]

I bought my first ever road bike 2 years ago,, had and rode dirt bikes and four wheelers all my life!! The bike I bought is a 41 yrold. Honda that only cost me 760$ delivery to my door !! The bike was in running and riding conditions when I got it and all original bike,,, but ,, bc of my riding style injuries etc I also had to change a bunch of things on it to suit me and spent at least double what I paid for the bike!! But it’s my bike bought and paid for and now it’s set up so I can ride it with a smile on my face every time

[@dalesharpy9197]

Oh Mr. Fish... you nailed it! I am 60 but in almost new condition LOL! I fit nicely on her at 5’11 and a Svelt 180 lbs. I find it is FAST and I do the same thing when I ride the 2019 CB1000R. She is a Naughty Little Girl! Eh? In Standard mode she rides well mannered enough around town, but out in the country and the Cascade foothills it wants to go go! I am too old for this bike but I freaking love her!!! I have a Yoshimura Alpha Slip on.... sounds nice.... I as well have a 2015 Honda VFR800DLX and I love the hell out of this Sport Tour bike. Big Red is the bike I ride the furthest, 5.8 US Gallon tank, 5 stage heated grips, wind protection......and that beautiful V4 burble on the engine breaking makes me tingle :). This bike and I have the most saddle time and we have become one, the CB1000R makes me do naughty things she Is a seducer for sure!!! I love both my Honda’s... I purchased the VFR in 2018 brand new out of a crate on sale for $7000 (MSRP was $13000 USD) and I got the CB this year for $2000 under MSRP of around $13000 USD. I am keeping them as long as I can, I a young and fit 60 year old with 44 years of riding. I hope I can get another decade or two of riding lol! Cheers from Lynden, Washington, USA the Country apparently with two Presidents ha ha If I misspelled forgive, you know how it is typing on a phone, old eyes, touch screens, and small type!!

[@tibbsazoid]

This really speaks to me, I have a street triple, and I have the same issues, not physically, but I can't bear to ride it slow (legally), but the roads are so bad, I spend longer on google maps looking for the quality twisty road that's going to make it all worth it that I do actually riding. I end up on bumpy narrow roads with slow traffic, double white lines, constant 30 and 40 speed limits, gravel in the middle of the road, and I'm just getting pummelled by the firm suspension and hard seat the whole time. Why do we even do this hobby in the UK?

[@mikeeger7581]

Get pivotal bar risers whatever brand you choose don’t matter but I love the versatility of the pivot bar risers you can get them in I believe 2 or 3 inch maybe even 4 inch I’m not sure I got 2 in non brand name from amazon for 25$ they are bang on

[@davidking258]

Had same experience with my Z1000. 3 fun years on it but commuting/camping very much hard work. Probably end up buying a T7 next...

[@MsDenver2]

Have you tried using rain mode for in town and more gentle riding as that would soften everything up?

[@markbright7845]

Yeah, I miss my 2017 AT DCT. Never loved my NC750X, CRF250L was too slow commuting on dual carriageway, current VFR800 is killing my knees and isn’t fun on local country lanes. Think I can only afford to go to a CRF250 Rally with suspension upgrades, and hoping that will make the local country lanes more fun, now that I don’t need to commute, as working from home.

[@GBeWinginIt]

I AM ENJOYING MY 2019 standard stock. i like not having the quick shifter and not having the"wanting" to race everywhere feeling. I can kick back and relax or push it with this bike. For reference i'm 6'1" 220lbs and at 57 years old with a 33" inseam . In short i'm no spring chicken 😂 I can see risers in the future.

[@maverick_2352]

I was thinking quite early in the video, hes going to change back to the Affy twin!

[@cloggsy1971]

Don’t blame you fella. With all the negatives, I would’ve done the same thing 👌🏻👍🏻 Expensive mod though 🤣😂

[@johntheaccountant5594]

Love the looks of the CB1000R but not practical on UK roads for everyday use. I think the CB650R would be my choice.

[@captainaverage721]

I bought the 650 this year and secretly yearn for the 1000 !

[@davidfennessey2727]

March 19 After 28 years without a bike i bought a brand new cb 650R and done over 3000 miles then in august 19 i went for a test ride on a used Cb1000 r in my local dealer it had 127 miles on it after 30 minutes riding i new i had to have it the brakes the quality of the quick shifter and the power are night and day compared to the 650 it’s also more comfortable the seating position is more upright and the dash is a lot brighter and easy to read done over 8000 miles in 13 months would have been more without covid

[@rolandfullthrottle8316]

I also had a CB650R but traded it in after 6 months for a Street Triple RS because the Street is just that good. Did a testride on the CB1000R but it’s just to much for the road. Just like the Speed Triple RS , same ‘problem’ 🤔

[@hunterm8297]

I didn’t think it would be long! 👍

[@AutoMan84]

She's a big girl but I love her...comfortable and always there for you 😆

[@billcotton1551]

This bike is up there with the BMW R9T in looks. And the performance is excellent.

[@paullee6663]

Like others have already commented, I thought that was coming. If you're not enjoying it, you have to do something about it, or what's the point? Enjoy your new bike!

[@keithsbitsandpieces]

Mr Fish , i so hope the big change brings back your enjoyment ;)

[@Mrfish2015]

Should do

[@JUHEBLA1776]

I’m from the US and this guy is funny, remind me a lot of Ledpin back in the day that got me into bikes, and own a 21 CB300r and looking at getting a 21 cb1000r just a great bike and I enjoy riding my 300 lol needs faster 🏍💨

[@michaelj.kastner5165]

Re watch your Fireblade review!!! You sounded like you we’re having the time of your life!!!! Mine has finally arrived here in Miami!!!!

[@Mrfish2015]

Nice one ,,, enjoy

[@rzu7120]

When you announced you were trading your AT for a new bike, I guessed it would be the new AT Adventure Sport. I made that guess based on the riding you enjoy doing, and how much you liked your original AT. I was really surprised when you unveiled the CB1000R. It just didn’t seem practical enough. Did you put the original exhaust system back on the bike?

[@Mrfish2015]

Yes original went back on

[@stableslayers3958]

So your avin the new at then? Had mine two months. Ffs it’s superb. Better than my last 2019 model and my blade. Electronic suspension a must though I feel and the quick shifter mmmm

[@n22pdf]

Have you tried a GS ? or maybe go for the new AT or a KTM

[@gsd32i]

So, ive recently ridden the gsa1250 and then s1000xr , both great bikes with a great price! with a view to changing my trusty AT and you know what ......it aint gonna happen. She's staying. She's not the best bike but she does lots of things well for a lot less dosh.

[@AmmarGasim]

Thank you

[@MsDenver2]

I’m a bit confused you say you can’t take it on the smaller twisting B roads but I’m sure the bike should be happy at lower speeds as it has plenty of torque to ride slow in 4 , 5 or sometimes 6th gear at slower speeds. I think you ride every where fast because your a GP rider at heart lol🏍😊

[@davidatherton8264]

I will add one thing I never really got on with my NC750X, I should of gone for the XADV in the first place what I love so much more

[@mikeeger7581]

Whatever you do to the bike is great as long as it works for you after all you are paying for it

[@LickyDischarge]

I had a slight feeling that ending was coming, even from a few minutes or so into the video.

[@SafikMaster]

Hello Mr Fish. I am looking at buying the cb1000r after a lot of thought, but this video makes me second guess my decision. I had an mt125 as my first bike for a couple of years and I always enjoyed riding in the back country roads that are a bit dusty, gravely and with many holes. I had an XSR900 too, which I would never take on such a road because of how much a rebel the XSR was. It was very twitchy on the throttle and it seemed like it wanted to be either full throttle, or completely off. Would you say that my dreams of dusty back country roads on the cb1000r would be a no go, just like the XSR was for me? I understand that mt125 wasn't anywhere near an adventure touring bike either, but I had no issues or worries on it when it came to bad roads. I wouldn't want to spend £10,000 on that beauty just to realize I wouldn't want to ride it where I want :D

[@jfro5867]

Watch Ridercam doing their review, much more positive as are dozens of other reviews. Mr Fish bought the wrong bike, for him. That’s all.

[@disco41]

Yes then knew it tbh thought you’d got the wrong bike for you but you live n learn. Ride safe 👍

[@Mtthwpez]

Looks like a swap to the old faithful AT is on the cards! Edit: I watched it to the end, and for once I was right!

[@TinsonTour]

Well played sir u know it makes sense 👍🏍

[@Mrfish2015]

Eventually

[@mikeeger7581]

Move to America mate I’ll be here waiting to ride with you

[@MrReed1991]

The side of the engine and the two metal bits either side remind me of a crab putting up it's claws, if that's the correct term, ready for a fight. Once you see it, it's hard to in see the crab

[@peetee49]

You know the AT it’s the one for you, 🤔

[@andyscooter5753]

back to A/T they are an awesome bike , an you did say you would regret selling the last one .

[@martiniv8924]

It is a stunner 👌🏻😎

[@michaelfinck6945]

Yeah m8, get back on the AT. No compromising ergonomics, much lesser engine braking and a suspension that takes care of the poor road conditions you described. Trips can be planned now. And it'll take care of your mental issues as well having the constant need to go fast on the CB. I know those issues. I bought a MT-09 SP last year. It took less than 3 mounths until I got busted and lost my licence (for a mounth). I live in Hamburg, and the sheer amount of speed traps and cam equipped civil motorcycles and cars - and that combined with an outrageous penalty catalog - appears to be from a dystopia like "1984". After I got busted I really struggled a bit to adjust my attitude, you know, to ride within the speed limits 98% of the time (with very few, very short and carefully timed outbursts of acceleration and decent aggressive cornering) and still be able to get off the bike with a feeling of true satisfaction. Like when I get off my bone stock 2014 Iron 883. You can't blame the MT-09, it does everything. Tons of character, low end grunt, pretty plush ride (I'm a light weight), smooth. I had to accept the fact though that it feels better the harder you ride it. Which is funny because that's the reason why I bought the bike in the first place. I wanted a capable hooligan bike haha. So sometimes I go on the Autobahn. Yeah, no real corners, but at least you can accelerate as hard and as long as you want and go as fast as you want. Maybe you would keep the CB a bit longer if you were healthy, but you can't deny the mighty AT of course :) I'll keep my MT-09 SP, I love it so much haha. But the puzzle finally only can be solved by a 3rd personal dream bike: The mighty CRF 250 L :) I deeply have fallen in love with it! I love the looks and the fact that it is a dual sport. And it's a Honda! I badly want to go greenlaning, exploring, or toy around in hidden spots in the city. I can commute on it, I can care less about the traffic or the weather. It gives me more possibilities to spend time in the saddle with guaranteed fun. What a special machine!! I'll have to get one before they likely run out of production in 2021 (and will return euro5 updated in 2022). Cheers m8 :)

[@KimCruz1]

Mr fish going back to an Africa twin in 3...2...1... Edit: spoilers for those that didn't watch, but this actually happens in the video.. Also other thoughts: it's gonna be the standard model and probably in RED haha!

[@keithappel5021]

What we’ll put our Bodies through with the things we love

[@rolandstaines3249]

Hi Mr Fish no disrespect to your riding courier but have u done a IAM riding course . I been riding for many years u can make changes to your riding in may ways on theses courses. I have puck up many good riding skills & body position techniques to aid a better smoother riding enjoyment even after 30 years of riding bikes has any other of your subscribers been on one of his course and felt the benefit of of this experience with the IAM.

[@Mrfish2015]

I don’t understand your point ?

[@TheSweetasanut]

Africa twin again then . I feel exactly the same way about mine

[@richardsimms6556]

Traded my Africa Twin for the MT-10...find the 10 more comfy, but i can't ride it slow either..totally relate bud

[@richardsimms6556]

I test rode the CB1000R, nice bike but felt like i was riding a broomstick, couldn't get on with it on the bumpy roads

[@mason3307]

Get the bar risers!!! I got them for my cb1kr and it was soooo much better.

[@CaptainCrankyMotovlogger]

Well I never... all through that, as I listened, I was thinking "sorry Mr Fish but you chose poorly - should've got the AT". ...and there it is - well done mate, based on what you said, a very wise decision.

[@trailrider1980]

Get an africa twin and an used MT09. The ergos of the mt09 are better. That could be your second bike. You can find them for cheap used.

[@user-sw2lv3zp6o]

Nothing wrong with the bike, then. I'd be interested to know how it pulls low down the rev range in a high gear. Interesting. And I stayed to the end.

[@stuartchaston6592]

Try rain mode around town and on gravel. That is significantly less aggressive..

[@Mrfish2015]

I use , user mode pretty much all dialled out

[@The_Arby]

Kinda knew half way threw video you were going to trade it in for another adventure bike :-)

[@bocapapat]

What about the cb650??

[@paulbrook2459]

Get rid , and get your African twin back 👍you know it makes sense. Or the tiger 900 is brilliant ! I’ve just bought one. great funny videos as always 👍

[@paulbrook2459]

I’ve just watched it to the end 😂🤣good guess 👍

[@alanrobinson2229]

Having just got an MT09(SP),I reckon this all rounder would suit you better. The modes give you everything for all conditions, it's most comfortable bike I've had and handles great. Commuter when you want,mental when you want. Don't modify,bite the bullet and get rid....

[@adiohead]

I have an XSR900 and totally agree.

[@alexirobot]

where did you get your crash bars? They look pretty sturdy.

[@Mrfish2015]

Sw motech

[@mikeeger7581]

So,, you do what you want and need to do to your motorcycle

[@robertkollath8929]

I was guessing sell the bike, I was thinking he probably misses the old AT.

[@jamiedolleryify]

My question answered 😁

[@michaelevans1658]

Your not keeping this long are you Mr Fish ?

[@davidhemmings8423]

Surprised you got rid off your last one.

[@MsDenver2]

Have a look at AndyManCam he has the same bike as you and he rides it slow in town and rides it on B roads and twisting tight mountain roads in Europe?

[@WilliamAndrewPhilipBodie]

you got a new Sub :_:

[@splodge5714]

Be honest with yourself for the riding you do this isn't the bike for you. I've been there before, the only big modification I'd do is sell it for something else. An Africa Twin or the new Triumph Tiger 900 are a good option.

[@markmundy3435]

A stunning looking bike and very capable, but knowing what you're about, I'm going with its days are numbered.

[@markmundy3435]

Ha, I put this comment up way before the end. Lesson for today, watch until the end boys n girls.

[@DjMarkyBatch]

I rode the CB1000R and Honda africa twin AS back to back... I bought AT, for exactly the reason you describe... mental vs usable. Africa T can go anywhere... twisties with the Z1000's no you won't keep up, but... who cares really. In town, the Z1000's are complaining. on b roads, Z1000's complain, motorways Z1000's complain. long distance... Z1000's complain. Petrol stations every 90 miles lol. Get yourself a 2020 Africa twin. 😜😁

[@chrislecouteur2360]

Africa twin or what I've got 1250GSA or GS

[@Rockout52]

I really want a Honda CB1000R plus, I've only ever had big fast sport bikes, I've been riding since 16 years old, now 64 and still riding big fast sport bikes like a hooligan, give me your bike as it's no good for you, lol.

[@camgere]

I'm in a similar position. The CB1000R is like my KZ650, but better handling and double the horsepower. Really more power than I can use, but when I'm doing a pass of a truck in a restricted distance, I appreciate every pony and lb.ft. The riding position is upright. I kind of prefer the riding position of my old Hayabusa, but the 150 lbs. less weight is great when flicking it around. So sit on the R and the RR before you make a final choice. I hope you cheeks don't ache from smiling too much!

[@cristianalexandru3332]

I'm 40 and when I ride my s1krr new gen I become yanger with 20 so all the time I do crazy rides,,,,I'm also professional driver but on my bike I create my own world with my own rules,,,I might look crazy or maybe different but this is who I am and I like it ,,respect for all the rider's who ride safe,, enjoy life

Two words after watching this - Africa Twin !!!! 😁

Your next bike should be a BMW 310GS, same shape, will do light off-road and only fast as you need to be on the open road

[@Mrfish2015]

Errrrr. Nope

[@SulsaCikkectuve]

@@Mrfish2015 but the question is you have trouble with your neck muscles back etc does a heavier bike cause issues when you put it into the Twisties would a lighter bike be better for you?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Everything true, perfect bike but lot of people will die on it, cause of the engine, it's prefect, but this bike demands high revs and high speeds, it's like a drug, never high enough :) I'm a new biker, bought new -red and after first season I'm selling it, wanna stay alive. But....it is a perfect machine, bravo Honda.

You have to have a bike that’s awesome and comfortable for you

[@rocketrollsvlogs7625]

This looks like a second bike, with the primary being an Adventure Bike. This is not a commuter. Africa Twin baby

If you think the roads in the South of England are bad, try living in Glasgow Scotland. You'd think you'd been dropped off on the moon to ride your bike. The craters are the same.
