A friend of mine has had it almost since new. Atleast 20+ years. And it runs great. We had a trip today with two other riders and it keeps up perfectly fine against my xl750. Not on hard accelleration. But otherwise.

I've been having this bad boy for almost 2 years and done over 32k km and it's my first bike It is really vfm and really rider friendly if you are a novice rider. But since it has no abs you need to be careful on breaking. About fuel consumption: It varies from 5 liters to 6.5 (if you are a naughty boy) per 100 km and i'm almost having a milage about 300km now, about the wobble... i didn't see any of that happening Overall i believe i mad a good choice as a first bike and it came out to be extremely reliable so far, I dare say... it's a baba yaga

What an interesting watch! I had to watch a couple of times to try and work out why it is you dissaprove of me and my motorcycling videos. You seem to have a beef with me as I am "not free because of the payments on my motorcycles" - is that your issue with me and my videos? Would really love to have chat with you about this...look forward to your reply.

I use a tank bag with water and other items ,weight is 5.6kg also driving lights , light bar on the front .Adding up to about 9kg extra to the front. If the tank bag comes off it wobbles. Also Yamaha bend bars with bark busters and bar weights. The more weight on the back the more wobble I get. I'm Getting new heavy duty shocks fitted as they needed updating anyways. Will see how it rides and do an update if anyone's interested . Owned 10 years and have done 70K on it.

👌👍👍👆

You have 35 subs.... HAHAHAHAHAAAAA

Actually mine does not wobble at all, so it’s not that all of them do. Get yourself an adjustable windshield deflector, will do the job. I suffered the same as you when I bought it, the deflector made the problem go away. And in order to work on the plugs, no need to take the fairings or tank off. Just get the Honda spark plug wrench, costs around $20.

Bad attitude man . Not the way to build subscribers telling them to f off . Think about it...

The toolkit should sit under trhe seat (not under the rear rack), that's what the rubber band thing is for, to keep it secure.

The catalytic converter is not part of the silencer, it sits underneath the bike. I have one one of these bikes, they are reliable and comfortable but...they are heavy (200 kg) and very underpowered (only about 55 hp). And yes, the wind buffeting is a problem, even with a taller screen. Mine wobbles a bit, especially when there is stuff in the top box.

One of my bikes is a Yamaha xt600 1989, the only weak point, if the engine, lacking 'some' power

Hay bro can you change your setting in you comments as both of my last messages keep disappearing 🤪

The ST1300 is more underrated!

I am surprised you called out the gearbox, i think Honda generally makes good transmissions, transalp might be a bit old school but way ahead the "clunky" mess ive encountered on some other bikes ive ridden. And like i commented on another video of yours sir, i dont have a weave on mine and it is bone stock. Are you sure your wheelspokes are all tight? your fork bearings are ok? your multilink is without play? have you tried with stock rear tire size to see if it persists? i dont think a handlebar is gonna remove the weave. I agree the stock mirrors are good. The luggage rack is plastic 🙃

will it take fixed panniers or throw over bags, i've had a 2021 Himalayan couldn't live with it, no use for main roads m8

Ive got one if these in black aswell! It is a model often disregarded by many because of its specifications. Undeneath all that wild 00's plastic is a very conservatively designed machine with a tweaked 90's motor. Its tried and true design that is well thought out and makes a very predictable machine that is easy to ride. It doesnt give anything for free but if you ride it like a bike should be ridden its very satisfying. I agree the buffeting is awful and im trying to see what i can do to fix it. I also find the bike to be a bit (top)heavy. The looks isnt the best but thats not why i bought it, but it has grown on me. Your weaving issue sounds strange, mine less weavy than other bikes ive ridden/owned. Are you sure its not the "natural" weave that all motorcycles will have at certain speeds if you let go off the handle bar? i can probably get mine to weavenif i did that.

got my 2nd 650 im 22 i learned on that bike no electronics the weight is weird still love it and the windshield brackets are garbage on this bike

Great Machine. The Power Of Dreams ❤

Owned one, most boring bike ive ever owned.

Slow,bad brakes,ugly,8 liter/100 km.Reliable ,yes and smooth.

Retarded bike, especially for Big Red, who usually kicks ass on every bike it makes. If someone gave me one, I’d sell it and buy two CRF250s. If someone gave me two, I’d sell them and buy a CB1000RR.

how is it underrated? it's expensive XD

I find it hilarious that she plays the ‘totally capable female rider’ bit, while simultaneously playing the ‘helpless female rider’ bit...

Millionaire vagabonds are always inspirational to us regular riders, lol.

Here in the U.S the RS is $ 900 more then the Z 650, as of the 23 model it does not have traction control or LED turn signals. I am very happy with my Z 650 in the states kawasaki had a $ 500 rebate so I saved some coin.

Here we go again, a no mark riding on the coat tails of a top class youtuber, trying to get some hits..

You are not wrong buddy , but really who is going to buy a motorcycle and give away ~10k based only on one review ? There are others like him ? Ofc! But not all of them, so if you are a rational consumer you know what to filter out in the end. Additionally this guy is an American, consumption blackhole!

I suggest a new name...Scratchy Boots? Some woman has made the Itchy Boots thing famous. You seem to have good stuff to say, and you don’t want to be mistaken for riding along on her coattails.
