Amazing! I did the same thing. I pop back in from time to time to watch these reviews cuz I thought they were so cool and Rene did such a great job. Yes he did pass away. May he rest in peace. He was a big part of getting me back into motorcycling. Cheers!

Thank you; I'm glad you like it.

You nailes it

Frank Indiasd

Cheers!

It's all about Sylvia now:) She gonna feel the burn all summer! As Ice Cube would say, No Vasaline.

I went 180 and chose to double my consumption in lieu of treatment.

Tough choice Bro. I say follow your heart on this one and buy the one that makes you smile the most just thinking about it. Do it!

Martin - do you know what happened to CalMoto or how he is now?

Boom! Congratulations.

Thank you! :-) And I did follow your advice. Meet the people at the local shop, make friends with them, be on first name and ask for good advices from the seller and the mechanic. Now when I walk into the shop there's "Hi John" from everywhere! Feeels goood! :-)

Gandalf606 why dont u just get a racer. then change the bars. it sounds more logical than get a new clock, paint job, seats etc. just to have a bike that looks like the racer

I know; I hope I can get my mits on one.

Thanks Dude....I know what you mean!

Cal Moto. Keep up the great work. Disappointing to read things lately regarding lawyers etc. Your reviews have encouraged me to recently purchase a Breemer & make those relationships with my local sales & tech staff. Keep the reviews coming.

Do it. Come by our shop and ride our demo R9T Pure....it's a fun ride. Cheers Dude!

I'd be very interested to hear about what advancements you're hoping to see in the very near future!

Thanks! I'm disappointed that your local dealer isn't working out for you.

Did you talk about your experience with the dealer? maybe you should help them out.

Right! Good man, enjoy!

Flawlessly!

I don't know about the Ducati, or what happened on the Pure video:) I'll certainly get a little raunchier next time.

For me, rage is Zen;)

I'm wearing kühl Ryder pants that are sturdy but not designed for moto. I can't recommend any pant that doesn't have specific protection built in. I use a BMW Summer pant for my recreational rides; and, Alpinestars leathers for track and fast street rides.

alex h CalMoto is in Google's backyard (a.k.a. Mountain View, California).

Moto videos for channel (Cal Moto) all originate from Livermore Calmoto.

SpecOpsSinister r Does my vote count? I say go for the Pure and customize it. :)

Yes it does. I'm scheduling to see both this summer. :)

SpecOpsSinister r Keep us posted. I've never been on a Harley I enjoyed but they can be pretty.

The street rod is junk compared to r9t and I've been a Harley guy 20plus yrs

MGTOW Sinister Kid So how long are you going to make us wait to hear what your experience with the bikes was this summer? What did you choose? :)

A Welsh please dont tell me he’s really gone?

not in the us

Perhaps you could paraphrase your own statement so it makes some sort of sense.

Hell yeah. Triumph can't have all the cool stuff;)

SLB/WFord BRZ???

"set up for the buyer that wants to customise a bike"....at $18KAUD. Idiot.

@@StradellaTV You get what you pay for. BMW worth every penny

LedFingers HAHA! I *love* that analogy! Fantastic!

It's true that each department is a separate profit center; that said, a good dealership will perform equally well in each department. That's why it behooves the buyer to do their due diligence and determine if they are happy to do business there.

That would be unfortunate.

No, I didn't get canned😇. There are several impediments hindering my content production at the moment; not the least, my current ennui with my own shtick. Papa needs a brand new bag! In addition to the easily remedied style dilemma, we no longer sell Triumph and my pool of the latest and greatest has been gutted. This too is a solvable issue, but requires me to work harder. Last, but not least, I've been dealing with and treating a very nasty and unforgiving disease that is trying it's best to kill me. So far I have exceeded my death date by a year and will continue to remain with the 10% that survive this brutal mother fucker of an illnesses😎. I'm not going anywhere, and will resume moto logging adaptation! Thank for the question and support. I guess this is something I've been needing to unload. Cheers my man!

Cal Moto best reply ever, thanks so much and hope my asking shows you how we miss and enjoy your straight forward vids. We wish you the best beating the disease or at least not letting it get the best of you. Last but not least, it's a good time to consider God (forget the packaging i.e. Christians, still seek Him bro). Wish you the very best!

Thank you. I'm an optimist and a cockroach; those traits are definitely working in my favor.

@@calmoto9073 why did you guys stop selling triumph

You would be well served to find a better dealer, and develop some buying/selling skills. We deal with customers from time to time who bad mouth every dealership they've ever been to. It's always very evident who problem is. I don't mean to offend you, and I hope I didn't. Cheers.

Cal Moto from my experience, bmw dealers are easier and friendlier to deal with. I bought many bikes and cars from random dealers over the years for me and the missus. 2 of them being BMW. Honestly, those were the only 2 times we didn't feel like we were being cornered to buy the machine or purchase some extra nonsense. Maybe it's the salesmanship policy for BMW dealers or just a coincidence but those were 2 seperate dealers. Rest of the dealers we've dealt with... even when i say i don't want to meet the aftersales person, i wont buy anything extra like fabric protection, paint protection or some other crap, they still bring the aftersales person. Every Single Time! Not BMW dealers though. They were even giving me a bike to use during the service, and considering i work nights, letting me keep it overnight so i could sleep during the day and return it in the morning after work to pick my bike. Seriously, that stuff makes me go back to a dealer; not the pushy sales pitch.

Hopelessand Forlorn Then you have not found the right dealer, keep looking. My local dealer I have been with for over 10 years...truly almost 12 now...and they had time to talk to me bi-weekly for about 4 months before my first purchase; I have purchased now 5 bikes from them. I would never go elsewhere. I walk in and they treat me like I am their only customer because we have a relationship of mutual respect and common passion - no one is kissing anyone's ass. It's worth it to go through a few bad eggs to find the dealership for you.

well said

I have a huge crush on you:)! I hope you'll come visit next time you're up in the Bay Area. Thank you for the comments and support....Cheers.

I'm up there on occasion for business. Heck yea I'll stop in to see the rockstar and sit on a bike or two. ;)

$13500 is affordable? Is that the out the door price? I rented one today in Vegas and I do like the style , exhaust note, and nimble fun in the canyons. Heated grips are nice, so is the ABS, but If this bike was meant to compete with Harley in this sportster line up its gonna have to be sub $10000. Too many other brands in this area. Price and reliability are key factors also. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the bike, but not $13500 kinda love. 💀

BS

Axelle VP i

Holy shit overreaction much? Jesus christ lmao BMW has always been more of a "luxury" brand. I'm sorry you feel personally insulted by this. That wasn't my intent at all. Just pointing out there's tons of bikes that fit into the "affordable" category, this really isn't one of them. Something like a Yamaha FZ07 or something would be something most people would consider "affordable".

Ordinarily, I would simply dismiss a waste of skin like yourself, but take offence to insults and poor manners from sleazy, skinflint, feckless, dipshits like you.

@@calmoto9073 lmao 🤣 , seems like you are the one that needs some therapy! Totally overreacted and most likely a signal of some sort of internal anger you haven't worked out. Funny af though! 👍

Poor grammar is dangerous as well, it can doom you to a menial disappointing life as an object of pity and ridicule.

Says the motorcycle salesman

thats a very very bad attitude to sumone.

That's why it's $13.5k. Damn, I just saved you $4500.00.
