Have you ever figured out how to reset the service interval on your koso? The earlier dl04 model (2014-2016) had a reset oil change interval but my new one (2017+) does not.

Nice bike. I currently have a GS but when it's due for replacement I'll be handing it back as the new GS/GSA look awful. I am keen to see the R12 Scrambler as that could keep me on the BMW PCP bandwagon! I'm curious to see what changes BMW make to the GS front end when they refresh the model at the end of the year. Thanks for the review. 👍

Good, clean review 🙌🏾🙌🏾 How was the gas mileage? How would you compare it to a Harley 1200 cc bike, like the Harley 48? Thx.

Thank you for a great video ! Do like the way you talk your way through the ride, reminds me of a very good driving instructor. Just traded in my Deauville for a brand new Cub125, it was getting too heavy for me to shunt around the garage. Funny how things go: 52 years ago I started out on a C50 and at 68 the C215 will probably be my last bike 😃.

So, finally I testride the Shotgun yesterday. What a blast, for the whole 30 minutes I couldn't get rid of my grin! With me being 6'5 / 1,96m quite comfortable, the dealer told me that getting one cm of additional height wouldn't be an issue by using some raisers. The drive itself was gorgeous, good engine with sufficiently enough power, beautiful sound (stock) and a handling that is OK (I'm riding a Africa Twin). Natural speed was around 95 km/h with no problems at all to go also 130 km/s (wrong turn and suddenly I was in danger to miss my return time). With the c. 47BHP overtaking is again a process that should be done with care and attention, one time I 'battled' me with small SUV, me going 100, she approximately 97 but not giving up, and had limitless fun. During the drive I felt a bit like Lawrence of Arabia on his bike (not really, this would be inappropriate) or better like a motorbike in the 50's or 60's, just having fun. A feeling I missen during the last months and years while riding my modern bike.

It has a low seat height. How does the suspension feel to compare with other motorcycles with low seat height?

🏍 Das ist Uber Wunderbar! I have a Honda Monkey as my first motorcycle and am loving it. I think the Honda 500 Hornet might be a good first "Big" motorcycle when I am ready to move up. Thank you for the informative video. I am 5'8" so the Hornet sounds like a good fit too. Tally Hoe. 🏍

Does it have a lipstick holder ? If so then you’re right 😂😂😂

Bet I will be valeting that one soon

such a lovely looking bike that

Ah the tell tale laughter as you first open the throttle is part and parcel of this bike's charm. I read a comment on another review which implied the laughter and accompanying grin were rather put on, obviously the commenter has never ridden one. I own a 2021 Triumph Rocket 3 GT Triple Black and Id agree with everything you said, though I haven't used the cruise control very often I found it works fine for motorway/dual carriageway cruising. I had the quick shifter fitted, some say it's totally unnecessary on this bike but it's just so much fun. I'd have liked a slightly bigger fuel tank ( or at least full capacity out of the one fitted) due to the air box underneath there's a rather large internal hump which makes filling rather precarious.

Thought provoking. Surely the legal angle must be paramount and overwhelming as the human must take full responsibility for the vehicle?

I am thinking about trading in my custom dyna streetbob for one. But being 5'7 i don't know if its for me. Hope to test ride one soon.

Im 73 lofty ride s 1000r 22model thinking of this xr model hows it compere lofty thanks

Pure Beauty & Discount Price for this 🏍️🏍️🏍️

This looks much better than the earlier ones. Mate of mine has the '21 air cooled version and i'm surprised how slow it is. He's not a big guy and it can't even hold 70 on the dual carriageways.

Thanks will have to try that one tonight!

Makes you wonder where the human element in life will end up... Why would we want this technology 😅🎉 thanks lofty x

Great review, i think you meant 780mm seat height not 680mm sea height on low chassis ,low seat

They're also made a Red with gold wheels really Looks Great!!?.

What happened to your Spanish tour?

A complex issue to be sure. Personally, I think I would prefer to share the road with a machine programmed to abide by regulations with perfect accuracy than a human motorist. At least in America. However it’s clear that these autonomous vehicles aren’t infallible. Until such point that they are (if ever) I see it as something of a choice between undisciplined people or faulty technology, and neither is ideal.

Hi Lofty. That was a very serious subject and I for one think you are justified in being a bit more than concerned about this. Are you aware of an incident in San Francisco a couple of years ago when a group of these taxis gathered at a road junction and blocked it for some time until they could be cleared away. Not certain of the exact number now but I think it was about 20 cars all parked themselves there for no reason.

I honestly think the world's gone mad. These vehicles are being pushed by companies who think, (if they work) they will get a huge return for their investment. Another case comes to mind - electric vehicles (doesn't impinge on safety, or perhaps it does, as they're silent?), overpriced, so that Joe Bloggs can't buy one. The ramblings of an old man!

The more you rely on others, human or computers, to fix your issues or everyday life, the more incompetent and helpless you become. I see my live as an never ending learning process and try to remain as independent as possible, and I love that.

Some good points there, you're right I think! Driverless letting computer with radar and cameras make the choices seems CRAZY!!!

Not too much rambling please😂😂

Absolutely brilliant Review! As someone who is also 6ft5 - this was incredibly helpful! thank you!

Rode the Rebel, but I think that this is way more fun. :) Would love to try one. Nice video bro. Enjoyed.

Yes exactly the same bike. White DCT model. Frustrating getting the rear seat off just a few days old just out the showroom. Hopefully not snapping the expensive key especially not carrying a spare while on your. Saving this video see I can master to perfection.

Do you think this bike can be proper for a 6ft height? Not too small?. I watched you are more than 6ft and feeling well but see this beauty worth for that height? Nice video 👌

Nice one mate. I’m on the action3 with wireless mic not sure I can charge the camera as the mic input is where you would charge it. I will have to do some research. DJI cameras are very good as you well know

I have the DJI osmo 4. What a camera brilliant

Theloftybiker- Thank you-fantastic vlog, catch you later.

Hi, does it show you how much gas you have in your tank?

Great review! Thank you! How much do you weight? I need to compare it with mine. I am 6.3 feet and 130 Kg. Do you thing I could fit on it? BR

Hi Lofty. Do you think the lowered chassis effects the ergo's at all ?. Great review. All the best.

I just brought a brand new 2024 SHi 125cc I was involved in a motorcycle accident 15/07/2024 on my 2023 Forza 125 sadly it was a complete right off all the front was totally broken. So I am still waiting to take my first ride it’s done 1 mile so far. It got delivered to my home last week. Great video thank you 🙏

Better without background music

Enjoyed the review. Just bought one and added extras that I wanted. I prefer Honda doing this so I don’t pay for stuff I don’t want.

Great review cracking bike all the best

The CMX 1100 has a smaller fuel tank(2.5 gallons) than it's 500ccrebel stablemate (3 gallons). Not impressed with it at all.🥺🙄

Thanks 👍

Untill bike and car dealerships learn that service costs and customer services are a priority,they will continue to lose business. Profits over customer service is not the way to do business.

Nice review Mr Lofty, it is a brilliant bike and overall really happy with mine. Just got back from touring Scotland on it with an average 51mpg. 🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️

Nothing like listening to a man in love!!! Where was the creek Lofty, be careful of French pirates hey!!

Worst bike customer experience ever at a Triumph Dealership. I'll never go back! Treating customers as mugs is not the way!

You're tall!!

Hey TLB, I think the Eliminator is a handsome bike! That "baloney tube" of an exhaust pipe must be replaced immediately! Here, in America, we can get the ike in white, bright orange/gloss black & a mat grey. It's a great choice for a first bike!🏍️👍😎. Doug

I was disappointed by my Transalp test ride a week or so back, rock hard seat, and the missus hated the pillion position. Great engine and sound tho. I'm very interested in having a ride on this Vstrom.
