Love what I'm seeing here. Nobody in your group was racing, nobody was desperate to catch up to the front doing risky overtakes instead of just being patient.

[@MrDavko90]

Yes of course, with motorbike we stay calm. taking risk is useless, riding pleasure is more important

[@scottlochans4180]

MrDavko90 'TAKING RISKS IS USELESS'!!, WHAT? THAT'S THE JOY OF HAVING A BANDIT, SEE A GAP, GO FOR IT!! WORRY NOT, THE 650 BANDIT WILL GET YOU THERE.. NOTHING DANGEROUS, CAUTIOUS MAINIAC, IS FINE. MY 650 PULLS UP A STEEP HILL, LIKE IT'S FALLING OFF A CLIFF. I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED RIDER. KAWASAKIS BACK IN THE 80'S, HAD NOT BEEN ON A BIKE FOR ABOUT 17 YEARS, HAD THE CHANCE TO BUY A CBR600RR SIGHT UNSEEN, NOTHING BUT KAWASAKIS THOUGHT, NO THANKS UNTIL I SAW IT AND WANTED IT, LOOKED FUN TO RIDE, SORRY JUST SOLD, I WAS GUTTED! LITTLE DID I KNOW, THE JOY THAT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN? CALLED A '05 GSF 650 BANDIT, NOT EVEN A BANDIT S, BETTER THAN A BANDIT S. MAKES MY GPZ750TURBO, BACK IN THE DAY, COMPARED TO THE BANDIT, IT WAS MORE LIKE A 400 SUPER DREAM? CX 500 AT BEST!!!!!!! ALWAYS RIDERS NEED TO BE SAFE. BUT BANDIT ACCELERATION IS A TIME VORTEX ENHANCING EXPERIENCE THOUGH, AND HAS TO BE RELISHED WHEN POSSIBLE, BANDITS REALLY ARE THE BEST!! FAIRLY SURE A WIZARD MADE MY ENGINE

[@scottlochans4180]

17 YEARS, NOW THAT I REMEMBER, 27 YEAR'S, HAD NOT BEEN ON A BIKE.

[@scottlochans4180]

BANDITS ARE THE BEST!!! MY 650 BANDIT, NOT EVEN A BANDIT S, COULD NOT BE BETTER!!! BRING BACK BANDITS.

[@scottlochans4180]

650 Bandits are the best, Bandit S, not nearly as much torque. Saw a video of 650 BANDIT S, motorway, freeway?, 1,000rpm from the red-line, passing cars, but not quickly, half way to the red-line, and my '05 GSF 650 BANDIT, one very careful, cautious owner, who basically ran it in for 15,000 miles, and half way to the red-line, and Perfect Storm happens, feels like an industrial catapult got it going, pure biking joy, BANDITS a serious biking TREAT.

[@jhonnypenacho]

Very well waited this overtake! Relaxed and secure,... I have the same bike, and i'm near to up my own POV video riding it. Congrats

[@MrDavko90]

thank you for your comment. Yes it's a great bike 😊

[@oldfartuk]

nicely done.. and responsible too

[@MrDavko90]

Thank you 🙂

[@dreadhead170]

Looks like a nice ride.

[@scottlochans4180]

Bandit S, I should be jealous?, but could not want or need to accelerate quicker than my '05 650 Bandit, it's magic...

[@Roy_Godiksen]

Great video

[@szabolcsfulop1768]

Hey! Is it compatible with a2? And as i know it is carburated. How do you think about the consumption?

[@MrDavko90]

Hi, mine is '08 model with injection. It has 85 hp full and I think you can ride it as A2 license but you will have only 34hp. I drove mine as 34 hp at the beginning too because it was the bike I absolutly wanted. You feel the lack of power after 7000 rpm that give you enough power for riding. A friend had the '14 CB650R with 47hp and in term of performance It was the same. About the consumption, my average is between 4.3 and 4.8 L/100km. With calm riding and mostly at 90 - 110km/h. With a tank of 19L you can ride easy to 350 km of range. Not bad at all for a 4 cylinder engine

[@jameschamberland4036]

Bonne conduite ! C'est fluide ✌️

[@MrDavko90]

Merci 👍🏻

[@ozguraltinkaya2155]

Hi. How is the riding position? I am 6,2 ft. Upright position? Comfortable?

[@Flo-yu6uz]

great video ^^

[@MrDavko90]

FlooRider Thank you :-)

[@vinie59]

Bonjour, pourriez vous m'en dire un peu plus sur la caméra, car elle a une belle qualité d'image, combien de temps pouvez vous filmer sans interruption ? quel format de la vidéo (avi ?) merci, car j'ai une daschcam mais elle n'est vraiment pas top

[@MrDavko90]

Bonjour, Ma caméra est une GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition. L'enregistrement des vidéos se fait en continue mais la GoPro coupe les vidéos en parties de 30 min, d'où les 3 parties de vidéos. Avec une batterie je dirais que je peux filmer entre 1h et 1h30. Je possède 3 batteries au total. Le format des vidéos sont en mp4. Les dashcam ne valent rien en qualité.

[@teddyboule1]

belle vidéo, je vais acquérir le même modèle de moto au printemps

[@MrDavko90]

C'est un bon modèle ! Agréable pour faire de la route, moteur coupleux. Fonce ;-)

[@williamrae9954]

I'd be well into my 2nd coffee before you turned up :)

[@teddyboule1]

et je roule aussi en Ford depuis longtemps , j' en ai eu une floppée !

[@MrDavko90]

Quelle ford possède tu ? :-)

[@TheMayr01]

What exhaust do you use?

[@MrDavko90]

Micron mate

[@TheMayr01]

MrDavko90 thank you, sounds nice

[@MrDavko90]

Yes of course, love it. Thank you !

[@scottlochans4180]

WATCHED AGAIN, CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE REV COUNTER. A COUPLE OF TIMES IT WAS QUITE NEAR RED-LINE!! COULD NOT DO THAT ON MY BANDIT, HYPER FAST 5,000 REVS ANY GEAR, NOT 1ST, I'D BE DOING A WHEELIE AND THAT'S JUST STUPID. MADE UP MY MIND, WOULD NEVER WANT OR NEED A BANDIT S. CHEERS, THANKS.

[@svenssonsverige]

Hi, I've got the same bike ('05 650 s) blue metalic, but your has a hydraulic clutch. Did you take it from bigger model or is it factory equipment?

[@MrDavko90]

Hello, The 07 - 08 injection models has hydraulic clutch from factory yes as the 1250

[@svenssonsverige]

@@MrDavko90 Oh, you've got the newer generation, ok. Thanks for answer.

[@MrDavko90]

@@svenssonsverige I've got the same generation as yours but injection model. Not the post 2009 generation
