First time seeing this chill dude, he's too busy out there riding from what I can tell. Hell yeah!

[@Nomadic_Pigeonn]

I try and get out as much as possible! Almost hit 25k miles this year

[@jonwoodworker]

Yes, Yes, and Yes. Love that you chose the 800DE.

[@Nomadic_Pigeonn]

I'm glad I did!

[@keyboarddancers7751]

Reliable platform.

[@Nomadic_Pigeonn]

Reliable and amazingly fun!

[@deeswiggins4331]

I had never seen the inside of the old Sinclair. Great video, McKay.

[@Nomadic_Pigeonn]

Super neat! There are sometimes that the owner opens it for tours. They have done an amazing job with it!

[@KanedaMGM]

I upgraded from the 411 to the plain 800. Hell of an upgrade.

[@Nomadic_Pigeonn]

Definitely is! I do miss the little tractor when I have to pick up the Strom though 😆

[@Gsgshshshbsnbsb]

Looking into getting this bike within the month this definitely will help me decide if im going to get the full on adventure model or just the de then modify it myself

[@Nomadic_Pigeonn]

If you're looking to off-road it and expect a lot of drops I would definitely look into the stock DE. I've heard the OEM crash bars are not as beefy as something like the Tusk ones. Also I'm not a big fan of hard boxes since I ride alone and off-road a lot.

[@Gsgshshshbsnbsb]

​@Nomadic_Pigeon so my options right now are a de with 2000 miles for 11k or a adventure with 0 miles for 14900 which one do you think I should get?

[@Nomadic_Pigeonn]

@@Gsgshshshbsnbsb Personally, I would lean towards the DE as It would also give you a budget to build out the bike the way you want it.

[@MotoFishy]

Can confirm. The stock tires in the sand are less than ideal.

[@Nomadic_Pigeonn]

1:00 am trying to find a campsite south of kodachrome basin was when I found that out 😂 ended up with the bike on top of me and very tender and bruised ankle.

[@MotoFishy]

@Nomadic_Pigeonn oof. That's not the best time of day to learn that. Lol

[@robbieandbeckie]

Nice bike, great choice!

[@Nomadic_Pigeonn]

Thanks for watching!

[@Jimo368]

Good job

[@Nomadic_Pigeonn]

Thanks for watching!

I need to test ride this one, and the new T-7. I'm looking for a single-bike, that I can do some light trail riding on occasion, daily 100+ mile commute, and the occasional 1000+ mile long weekend road trip with some potential camping thrown in. My buddy has a T-7 and goes out with others on dual sports quite a bit, but he doesn't put on the road miles like I know I will. I really like the Yamaha, but this 'zuki really seems like it would be a better choice for what I'd be doing.

[@Nomadic_Pigeonn]

I've taken her on some single track, and it does quite well! The only problem I had was the foot pegs are a bit lower to the ground so if you get caught in a single-track rut you will hit peg. I've rode several T7s and actually would take the Vstrom over it as it feels more stable & balanced, and wayyy more comfy.

[@MotoFishy]

The 800DE will be better for the road miles for sure. I would recommend it. I have done a few 400+ mile days and it's not too rough on me at all.

[@bielbills]

First and most important upgrade in this bike is the rear shock spring.

[@Nomadic_Pigeonn]

It is pretty soft! But my suggestion is changing out tires first 😂

[@motionfactoryracing5914]

Would love to donate some footpegs to one of your next builds!!!

[@easternyellowjacket276]

16 minute commercial for products to buy. Was hoping for a story too, but I guess that was asking for too much. RMATV is awesome, but some depth to the story of the ride would be nice.

[@ehiggins7476]

They are a motorcycle parts and accessories retailer! Not a bike magazine

[@easternyellowjacket276]

@@ehiggins7476 No kidding, sherlock. Like I said in my comment, it would have been nice to have a story about his rides or something, too.

[@rmatvmc]

Stay tuned! We just got back from a week long ride and McKay was there with the V-strom. Working on the videos right now

[@easternyellowjacket276]

@@rmatvmc Glad to hear it. Can't wait. I love stuff like that. And also appreciate the how to videos, as I've stated in the past. You guys rock!.

[@stevekeddington4382]

13:02 you show the option coupler location picture Where did you get that? I'm going to wiring up lamps, grips and cruise That would be super helpfull if you could tell me where you sourced that info

[@rmatvmc]

You can find it in the service manual.

[@stevekeddington4382]

@ many thanks

[@anadventureoutdoors]

how tall are you . this looked low beside you. when i sit on mine im tippy toein. lol

[@Nomadic_Pigeonn]

I am 6' 4" with a 32 inseam. They do have an OEM low seat that lowers it by 20mm. Seat concepts also offers a lowered version that drops it by 1 1/8" (28.5mm) but you need to pull the stock foam and glue it onto the seat pan.

[@robbieandbeckie]

When will RMATV/MC start selling the Yoshi RS12 repacking kit?

[@666dualsport]

Must the the ugliest adv bike ever made

[@TylerMcCool]

you must not get out much

[@Nomadic_Pigeonn]

It's definitely more alien looking! I'm a fan of mech robots so it definitely appeals to me!
