Honda employees are all literally chill guys, i know cuz when I went to my local Honda motorcycle dealer, the sales there were so chill, didn't even hesitate to let me try the CB650r, while Ducati's are like"Comeback when u got the money" My first motorcyle is gonna def be a Honda.

I absolutely love our SH125’s. We have a black 2023 and a translucent green 2024. There’s just something joyful and carefree about them. Thinking about getting an SH350 but am a bit afraid it won’t have the same feeling and will be too much of a ‘serious’ motorbike. And it’s a pity they only come in the cheap looking matt colors.

it is sad that we have nothing made in Greece .The working conditions here are terrible! At least in italy i saw some smiles that made me happy here we have unpaid overtime the state that you work in the system whatever they like for example they state that you work 20 hours a week but you work 40 or more they have your qr code card and they hit it themselves printed on a paper they scan it . Anyway not to bring you down but have a nice day my friends! ( i do not work in honda these are just the general way things go around here not in honda but in other places and other jobs)

My Honda Forza 125 was built there - but not really hight quality factory - had some issues. Worse was, that after 3 years i had to replace whole rear wheel (750 Euro) . Luckyli Honda made it for free ... THX. But i still stick with Honda. My next Honda ADV350 will be also built there. So PLS do it better guys next time ... 🙂🙏

Smokey question, as a top youtube host what are your thoughts on Ducati Pikes Peak (2023/2024) models. I am looking at used ones and curious why I am finding a lot of 2023 with about 2400 miles (Cycle Trader) & motohunt) being sold. Is there something that drives this or people trading in for the RS or Honda? Any insight you have would be helpful.

@LifeofSmokey Ай бұрын

As far as I know there are no real issues with those bikes at those miles. The valve that's somewhat expensive is way later. A Pikes Peak is a beautiful and expensive motorcycle. Most people also buy it because it's a comfy corner cutting machine so it's not really a long touring bike if you ask me. The normal Multistrada or grand tour and adventure will have way more miles on them as the Pike Peaks ones. That's my opinion 😊

@clivecartey Ай бұрын

The HONDA Italia production plant in the Val di Sangro started in 1978 with a 125cc motorcycle and continues to this day at the Val di Sangro factory with the HONDA CB125F motorcycle, a successful ubiquitous export model. Unfortunately, no real mention whatsoever was made about the HONDA CB125F. Probably not worth the 'puff' of an ego.......

@LifeofSmokey Ай бұрын

Love all the 125's but it was not being build on the assembly line at the moment. I did however record a whiteboard by accident that said "MY 2027 Honda CB125". And if I ever want to get invited again by Honda ever again it's best not to talk about what I have seen. It's one of the first things off the day I have seen so my brain did not want to say anything about that bike anymore as I was to scared to spoil anything 😅🙈. I'm just really careful about embargo stuff.
