Good meeting you at the show in York. Hoping the Kove works out well as I am considering this bike as a possible purchase myself.

[@bullpencycles]

Thank you. Here's hoping. Stay tuned

[@overcloth]

that Penton Hi-Point trailer at the end of the video was great.

[@bullpencycles]

I thought so. I almost skipped it.

[@frankdragottasfranktv7675]

Bruno is Fine Looking Fur Baby! Congratulations!!!

[@bullpencycles]

Thank you.

[@JohnSmith-xs4sx]

"Hi...Im Bruno from Bullpen Cycles " ....he looks happy Dave :)

[@bullpencycles]

I like that "Bruno from Bullpen . . ."

[@chopperenduro6590]

The Kove is interesting & l hope other motorcycle companies are taking notice & start building similiar models in that 450 range .

[@bullpencycles]

They probably will methinks

[@barebonesmc]

Cheers for the link and the mention Dave, Hi from across the water, I reckon we should probably look at collaboration at some point, Ride Free my friend, and keep up the good work 🙂

[@bullpencycles]

I only mention what I watch. You are the first that ever noticed! Thanks!

[@victorsturdivant4731]

Good info.

[@bullpencycles]

I was hoping that it would be. Thank you

[@mikaelljungberg1019]

Say hello to Bruno from sweden. Love your content.

[@bullpencycles]

Thank you. Bruno says hi!

[@TV-ui1tl]

Dave, RIP Inga, Welcome to Bruno. very nice-looking boy.

[@bullpencycles]

Yes he is.

[@bullpencycles]

Bruno says hi!

[@patriot0950]

Kove 450 rally !!! Kews К25 NC 450 rally 👍👍👍

[@Berecutecu]

The steering dumper seems a must in this bike given the vibration, according to what I heard about it, great idea/solution Surprised to not see a custom seat on it for better comfort in long travels

[@bullpencycles]

We tried a couple of seats. Havent found the best solution yet

[@mikaelljungberg1019]

There is a other race that replicates The original dacar race in africa were The big bikes compete.

[@bullpencycles]

Nice. What is it called?

[@RadRaven]

Male Moto, now called Original by Motel, is the hardest way of doing Dakar, because the riders have to service the bikes themselves. They are allowed to help each other, but they are not allowed to get external help.

[@robm7413]

Is the larger fan on the right because it’s on the exhaust side and creating more heat?

[@bullpencycles]

I really dont know. Maybe the way the H20 cycles. Dunno

[@Matthew-wn8oq]

Sounds pretty tame for a gutted exhaust. If you haven't sold your Kove yet , i will trade my 450 exc-r in towards it? Im in Ft Myers for the moment but looking to move up to Georgia pretty soon.

[@bullpencycles]

Will you be wanting a Florida street plate or will you be titling it in Georgia. You can email me.

[@Matthew-wn8oq]

@bullpencycles I haven't purchased the house in GA yet , I'm trying to get that done right now so it's up in the air for the moment. I will email you and give you my info.

[@jamesomahoney2181]

Hello Bruno 😊

[@bullpencycles]

Bruno says hi

[@dalewyatt1321]

There were Yamaha's at Dakar but not factory. The KOVE's failed but 1st time out I believe so they have a steep learning curve.

[@bullpencycles]

Twas the first time out for the 450EX Rally, which has a whole new engine. Dunno about the chassis

[@jonwoodworker]

It was their 2nd year and they did worse than the previous.

[@bullpencycles]

@jonwoodworker 2nd year for450R. But 1st year for the 450Te

[@jimtitt3571]

Two Yamahas entered and finished. The " fat pigs" ride the Africa Eco Rally which this year was an Aprilia/ Yamaha battle for the win, one Harley was entered, no idea how it got on.

[@bullpencycles]

I didnt know where I could stream it for free, or if there was bike specific coverage. Not really into cars. Did not know about the Fat Pigs. I will look it up.

[@jimtitt3571]

@@bullpencycles In the Rally WM under F.I.M rules there is a class for up to 950cc (class 5 or adventure class I think). The Dakar rally runs the top Rally WM class (Rally GP) within the race but the Eco Rally has nothing to do with F.I.M rules. The Eco is much easier terrain-wise so the big adventure bikes can enter, the odd 1100 Africa Twin and so on. They also run a different timing structure so the speed problems the Dakar had aren't there, the Dakar the bikes must be electronically limited to 160km/hr so there would anyway be no point in entering anything bigger than 450cc. I've ridden a couple of the "soft" rallies in Europe (some actually prohibit using the 450's) and with a miserable 125 trail bike one is easily competitive but the rallies are aimed at the GS rider, not racers..

[@trip_in_the_mirror]

Aprilia Tuareg 660 is winner

[@mylifeinthailand8751]

Those hand guards don’t match

[@jonwoodworker]

Finishing 49th at Dakar = junk. East coast riding on that desert bike would be a nightmare. Sad to see Americans supporting a country that is destroying ours.

[@bullpencycles]

I think it was 50th, out of 103, with a 20 vr/old rookie running his first Dakar. All of the first-generation models finished. Politics aside, we are doing enough to wreck our own country without chinese help. Two hundred to for hundred imports wont change our National outcome anytime soon. This channel is about bikes. Who remembers CZ in the cold war. Thats what they said then, and also about Japanese bikes then too. This is history today, my friend

[@toine0002]

Maybe next time do not give us such interesting infos with such annoying noises in the background 😅. Thanks for the video

[@bullpencycles]

Yup, well l couldnt stop the presses this day. Oh well.

[@maiadaniels669]

I'm lucky enough to have a rescue Bluetick out of Missouri, aren't they great!

[@bullpencycles]

Yeah, I'm never buying a new pup again. Inga was also a rescue.
