Glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah I have one sitting waiting for the British weather to improve. That bike sounds awesome.

How can a water-cooled inline 4 sound like a 2 cylinder aircooled?

Thanks, will do!

Haha, thanks for the kind words friend. Check my channel for some new stuff.

Thanks, doing my best!

Gotta love those after winter roads 🙃

Glad you enjoyed it

I would definitely be interested to see how this bike performs on a track. If I had space, I would pick up a second one and just restore it as a dedicated cheap touring bike.

Thanks, cant beat that combo!

Thanks!

Haha! and that was from 2020, when I lost my gloves unfortunately.

Givin' 'er da beans

Damn not the snow lol, Watching the video back I actually thought about how sketchy riding by that chipper looked lmao. In the moment I didnt even think about it. Funny stuff.

I'm here, I appreciate the concern. If you want the story, check the last build video I put out a few weeks ago.

Oh nice congratulations on that. I dont know if you saw the latest build episode from 2 weeks ago, but theres some 550 movement in there. If you are caught up on that, I am still sorting out the timing chain issue that I left the end of the video on. I got the 550 engine back together and installed the new chain but common motor sent me the wrong one...waiting on that new one now.

Appreciate that

Good one, it really does sound like a subaru 🤣

Very growly bike innit

I appreciate that

We have some weird weather so I just ride some days and drive others...that weird February phase lol. Which k bike you looking at?

The fascination has certainly worn off for me, but there is certainly a specific way to ride through this town, and theres alot of stimulation. High IQ stuff.

@@Theillestrator1050 agreed! You definitely need to look alive when riding in this kind of environment, and that urge to escape the traffic jam and avoiding getting hit is exactly the kicker! This reminds me of my learning days back in South America from where I am. Same exact type of streets but more traffic and road rage involved, plus an homogeneous mix of bikes raging from 125s to liter bikes scrambling between congested streets. Glorious!

This might be my favorite bike to short shift. You can shift at 2,000 RPM like a car and get to 5th then just blip back down a few times.

Lol It's not super terrible if I hit one, Im just pretty good at dramatically swerving them when I see em late.

Thank you sir!

Lol, I find this bike hooks up pretty well when flooring it, but if you notice, If I decide to rev out first gear, I always shift up a gear before engine braking because this bike likes to lose all rear grip when engine braking from red line...stiff chassis, shaft drive dynamics I suppose.

@@Theillestrator1050 The automotive style clutch and flywheel are likely the culprit for engine braking. The shafts on those had double u-joints, best I can recall, which helped minimize shaft drive's pitch happy nature. Your SV had a form of slipper clutch, not sure about the FZ1. Pretty cool video.

Lmao, glad you enjoyed and thanks!

Thanks

Lol

Hello, thank you and greetings. check the community tab on my channel. There is a recent picture there! Or my instagram account.

Yeah when you really give it the beans its pretty loud. Driving like a normal person has the exhaust quite respectful because of the deeper tones.

East NY, but I just did a loop here for some footage since Atlantic is a great wide road for flooring it lol.

Hey, all is well. Have you seen the latest cb550 build on my channel? The long time away is explained in that video, on top of some build content.

When I say that 1 litre lump under me is a kick in the ass I mean it!

Well when I floor it its perfectly fine, only time it hesitates is when I blip the throttle over and over ( 4:50 for example) It never dies but sometimes the quick open close open close will make it bog but thats about it. I knew about the vane trick, didnt know you could swap the AFR from one of the autos, thats cool.

Thanks!
