EICMA ITALY Day 2 : Exclusive Look at New 2025 KTM , BMW , APRILIA & More!

[@LifeofSmokey]

Someone said it's the worst EICMA video he has ever seen. Well get ready for day 2 because I was even more hyped yesterday 😎. I'm sorry but I'm a 1 man team , walked 25km yesterday , edited the video until 03:00 just to get it online fast. I DON'T have any sponsors so I'm paying for this trip myself , working my butt off to keep this channel growing and growing so thank you to those for understanding. I'm not begging brands for money like other journalists do , this way I can say whatever I want to say and be an independent journalist. And thank you for the 95% Like ratio the video from yesterday had! Big thanks , maybe next year I will be able to pay for a videoteam 🙂

[@ekimandersom4478]

Damn , that GS450 and KTM390 are going to be bestsellers. Stunning bikes

[@Maximius38]

I saw in a video that the KTM 390 adv is 185+kg, to heavy for what it supposed to be, I think the 690 still a better deal!!!

[@BlackHawkTejas]

@@Maximius38 It really depends! Different class, different market for both of them, can't just compare like them. Both have their advantages & disadvantages & market they need to address. A single same bike can be a lot different or mean different to one country buyer, vis a vis to another one! Just like a 1 Ton AC is more suitable for small room & and a 2 Ton for a large room, from the same brand.

[@marek1985marek]

hey smokey... it was me shouting... sorry.... i iknow you are here for work and to bring us the content... i just wanna grab a selfie with you (and succeded :) while you were filming ). been a fan of you for a few years now.

[@LifeofSmokey]

Haha damn dude I was done 1min after. I was making a single long 12min video without cuts so couldn't stop 😂. Sorry champ next time just come and say hello.

[@themok3rify]

I tried both the HJC helmet you showed and the Shoei Neotec 3. I bought the Shoei, didn’t regret it, such a good helmet. The best helmet I ever owned.

[@JRinPG]

Needs more 1390R! Please do a full review in future Smokey :) Thanks for the review of EICMA, enjoyed it!

[@LifeofSmokey]

Depends if KTM invites me to anything for it....😔.

[@Sergio-x1r5k]

Thank you very much👏👏👏👋

[@shortchaz]

I got an rpha 91 after watching Champion helmets reviews saying it was the quietest they’ve tested of all styles of helmets. I’ve been really happy with mine, really comfy.

[@spiritcivic9695]

“Brazilian” language? 😂 Btw, your videos are always tonic and fresh. Don’t change yourself! 👍

[@HolgerAp]

18:09 I switched from my way too loud HJC to a Shoei GT Air 3. The Shoei sits way better and is way quieter than the HJC. Can recommend the GT Air 3 👍🏻

[@Toxicdemon2]

19:20 Alvaro Bautista And the KTM Adventure and the GT Look freeking AWESOME !!! So does the 990 R and RC

[@christianmouraux7269]

Well, regarding Harley, I think a motorcycle journalist can not ignore that... Harley is a monster in motorcycling world... my humble opinion 🤗

[@LifeofSmokey]

100% agree with that , will ride one sooner or later 😎

SHOEI Neotech 3. Only helmet you’ll need. Quiet, comfy, practical awesome

The ducati guy is alvaro Bautista, he won WSBK last year

[@michelbaseotto3831]

And he drove motogp for 10 years

[@rangerxairsoft8171]

Adv HJC helmets are pretty quiet with vents open or closed. Shoei Neotec 2 was a big dissapoint with the vents open. Though it's the most comfortable one.

[@greengreenie55]

As usual a good video, interesting, informative and entertaining, keep it up buddy. As for what bikes to review, well ALL bikes, it's a bike channel after all, Harley, scooters, battery power, some of us might find that bikes we had dissed are OK really.

[@nevillegreg1]

Harley doesn't release/show anything new until their own launch in January so no loss that you didn't visit their boring display. BTW, I'm a Harley fan but why lose time at their display if they are only showing what we already know. They just don't seem to be doing anything right in recent times.

[@smoothride1000]

Keep up the good work. Get the 1390r next year.

[@bazza8947]

Shoei GT-AIR is a very quiet helmet

[@TrevorLeggo]

So the fearless guy with the purple hair. That would be Alvaro Bautista, last years & dual World Superbike Champion.

[@misfitfarm1937]

Yes. Do a test electric vs gas. See which can go the furthest and refill the quickest. The do a test of the footprint left from each as they are built. Including gas and the battery.

[@PhantomRider-78]

Anything on the honda goldwing?

[@LifeofSmokey]

Not as far as I know off no.

[@jobta]

Day 2 of asking uncle smokey to visit the NEXX helmets stand :p They actually launched a touring helmet today at EICMA focused on confort and lower noise. I don't know anything about that one yet. I own the Adventure one (X.WED3), which is quite nice, hence my interest in finding out about the new models. As for other brands, I also own a Schubert C5 which I find super confortable and quiet. Shoei Neotec is also another option to consider in the same category (both are modular but there's also the non modular equivalents ). Thanks for showing us around!

[@LifeofSmokey]

Some dude I know said something about that brand yesterday. I think NEXX is from Portugal no?

[@jobta]

@@LifeofSmokey Yes it is. I'm from Portugal and I was also surprised :)

[@ardchauffage3893]

Does the 1390 SAS still make sens when you have the 1390 SD GT available ?

[@LifeofSmokey]

Yep totally different feeling to ride. The GT is a Superduke R with fenders , the SAS is way more comfort and straight up position 😊

[@mm93249]

Helmet suggestion: Schuberth S3 it’s awesome, very quiet. and the radio/speakers work great.

[@dougmate2378]

That color white needs to be the official color of BMW *Sperm White* 😂😂😂😂😂 definitely keep the Harley in the box.

Hey Smokey, what did cf moto unveil? You mentioned it on the 1st video but didn’t go back.

[@LifeofSmokey]

No worries , tomorrow I'm uploading a 10min video for each brand and the bikes are unveiled. The unveilings are absolute mayhem!! You gotta run like crazy sometimes 🙈

[@AngelosMakris1990]

I have HJC 91 carbon and the suberth c5 the most quite helmet is the HJC 91 carbon.! My opinion of course.!

[@jibinraj6058]

Pan america definitely deserves your attention, smokey 😂. Buy a sharp 5-star helmet that weighs below 1.5 kg - that is my suggestion. Also klim krios pro is a good helmet ( not sharp rated I think )

[@Marcodiasf]

which tyres are on the f450gs and 1300gs trophy ? tkc 80 ??

[@LifeofSmokey]

No I believe BMW works with the Karoo 4 on the trophy. 😁

[@Higor...]

Bom vídeo obrigado...

[@Maximius38]

Hello bro I really suggest you to test the Schuberth S3 (E3 for offroad) helmet, you'll be surprise how great and quit it is, you'll love it.... And for the price VS quality, this helmet is a better deal than the Arai/Shoei, with the same level of quality but less money to pay for the equivalent ones from the other high end brands...

[@TKol8A]

Hi Smokey, can you elaborate a bit more on your choice between the Honda AT and BMW R1300GS? Were you looking at the ASA model BMW or normal clutch? What made you choose the Honda? Leaning towards BMW but can't decide to go ASA or not.

[@prasannanarayanan9696]

Hello Smokey, what about Triumph? You just passed by it.

[@LifeofSmokey]

10 E-mails , text messages , even 2 Triumph dealers that told the Triumph Marketing boss in our country to give me a god damn call because I'm getting millions of views and he just ignores me. Might not be his style what I do or the same with other brands might have happend. Old school journalists are talking crap about me behind my back because I don't want to work with them. I found out about 2 times that this happend so wouldn't be surprised it happend with Triumph too 😂🙈

One question regarding your videos. Every time I start a video the Audiotrack is per default on “German” and I have to change it back to “Original”. This happens only with your videos! Why?

[@LifeofSmokey]

It's all in beta testing so can't really say. Might be because you changed it once. I last used Japanese and when I started the video again I was from Japan again so have to set it back lol

[@wraymogg]

RPHA 91 Carbon - it's not the quietest. I actually bought the 3 most quietest helmets, as they are advertised, HJC RPHA 91 Carbon, Schubert C5, Shoei Neotec 3. If you are not riding behind a huge windscreen, C5 > Neotec3 > RPHA 91. HJC is definitely the loudest one. However, I ordered a tighter padding for my Neotec3, with leatherette wind protection, and also changed the chin guard with the leatherette one and the improvement is huge. The noise is almost like in the C5 now. Also the Neotec3 is the most comfortable one now. C5 used to be the one, but because of the stupid design of the visor, you cannot close it well with one hand, so now I am leaning more to the Neotec3 as the golden standard.
