A bit of a cautious pace going up, something about leading that makes me dial it back a notch compared to a solo run or following locals. Some really great memories on the "old" pavement, fingers crossed the new surface is good.

Skillful rider with smooth riding, combined with the XR, provides a great symphony! Great to see you riding again Cuban! 👍🕊️🇧🇷

Thanks. I'm not out there yet since they're repaving the road, this was a run from last November when we could still enjoy it. I'm planning to get back later this year and ride the new pavement, I don't think it will be nearly as sticky as the old one, it's going to take some time to cure.

Hello, I'm a rider who rides s1000xr in Korea. I always enjoy watching your videos. If I have a chance, I would like to see someone behind you riding a bike. I'm going to learn from watching you ride weight movements, clutch manipulation, breaking skills, etc. I hope you're always safe riding.

I'm going to be at this location soon! I'm riding up from St Louis on my MT09SP. Hopefully, the paving will be done, but if not.. It's ok. Pleanty of nearby awesome roads to ride! You're still my favorite road racer!

28, Cherohala, Happy Valley, Foothill Parkway, there are so many good roads in the area that even without the dragon you can have an amazing time, and the MT09 SP is perfect for these roads!

Nice riding! Which is your favorite tire on the XR for street usage? I am on my 4th set of michelin road 5 on my K49 XR, i like them a lot. In my opinion they have a good durability but you can also drive them very sporty. Greetings from Germany!

Was that antman on tuono 😁 . Anyway you should try a yamaha mt10sp .atleast for the music 😳😁

Sure was! And I'd love to own an MT-10 myself, that engine's noise and character makes for an amazing street bike, it's just that they're still on the heavy side, same as the Tuono.

Hey Cuban, it's been awhile since you've posted, I just traded in my 765 RS in for a 2023 M Package S1000XR and I've gotta ask.... What mods would you recommend right off the bat for it?
@CubanRider21 күн бұрын
Congrats man, badass bike. These bikes are pretty damn good from the factory, so sticky tires and have fun. If you start doing track days, then you'll probably want to upgrade the brake pads, fluid and maybe consider rearsets. For the street just do radiator protector and engine case protectors just in case.

@CubanRider Thanks, buddy. After having 3 Street Triples (one I blame because of your video reviewing it) this is a whole new world. Thanks for the advice! I will do as you say.... By the way you need to come up here to the West Coast of Canada, we've got some great roads

Isn't that stretch of road called The Dragon? The Tail of the Dragon is a business. Their marketing was so good its now changed the name of the stretch. Like Dairy Queen Drive.

Regardless of whichever came first, the road is widely known as the tail of the dragon. Of course when speaking to people who are familiar with it, it's just the dragon, or the hill for those very local to it.

@@RadDadisRad I think it should feel similar to the S1000R since on a road like this you can't explore the entire potential of the engine. Hopefully I can find out soon 😉
