Great job mate, thank you for an excellent review. I was on the fence but after your review I think I will get them. It is a huge investment but hopefully they last a while. Thank you again.

You don't stop and do a runner, these guys will pull beside you and kick you off.

Why don't bikes have stands on both sides? As a failsafe

Today i went to my local motorcycle gear shop to try on some boots and the tech 3, 5, and 7 toe boxes could fold up while the toe boxes on the fox boots and my old A.R.c boots don’t. It seems to be a common problem with the tech 7.

I have a slightly different technique, stay far right then do a hard 180 left and go straight back home sit on the couch and watch videos like this on my phone while drinking a beer and eating some takeout 😂

Ktm390 for sale. Never been dropped....much

So funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Japs dosent know how to ride motorcycle cool way.They think even if they ride small shit bike, noisy muffler makes them look cool. I am a Japanese who rides BMW motorrad.

Stupid question, do you think it could carry a basketball?

Hey mate where is this? There seems to be nowhere in Aus (bushwise) to take kids for a bit of free fun anymore 😢 hope you didn't get an $1800 aud fine like 7 of us did last weekend 🤣

you do look like James Franco...

How cool is that....😂👍👍

OK, but if I want to ride a small Travel Bike which I also can use in the City, and the "toughest" offroad I´d ride are roads in the woods, this bike will be still be sufficient, right? I get the whole thing about the suspension, but I just ordered a KTM Adventure 390 SW, and am a bit worried now if I can still ride light offroad trails? 🤔

I’ve come across them a few times up in SE queensland before. As long as you’ve got license and rego they won’t give you any issues. At the end of the day they’re riders themselves and understand we’re all out here to have a good time.

Is that with a header upgrade or just the exhaust? Sounds really nice!

Nice in theory, but they’re just ruining peoples fun at the end of the day .. paid to make people eventually give up the sport, doesn’t sound great to me.

Yippe

Nah they look genuinely sick 😮‍💨😮‍💨

DRZ 400??

I seen them in my city once I sor them doing wheelies tho

Furiosa tanked so bad that this is the next Mad Max movie.

I've done more than that BUT I was on my Goldwing with the Cruise set at 85 mph (136 kmh) stopping only for gas and a quick bite one time. Was not all that much fun but I had some place to be. And I got there just fine.

You need a mic

I have Kawasaki kl 250 A, its very similar bike and my sidecover is made of fiberglass and in very poor condition. I cant find cheap replacement all over globe, so thinki about making metal one. I can see your effort you put in 😁👍

that’s my dream job

Loveit❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😂😊😅😮🎉😂😂😂😂😂😂

Cant be your first ride and first reaction when you already ridden it to the spot where you started your vlog on that concrete slab.

Bolocks bloody hell

You gotta spark arrestor foo? That's what I thought. Carry on. 😂

Dogs, they are always out here in SA

Considering a super clean 09 dr650.... watching tons of vids on it, getting hooked on it.

Need more practice

Suzuki has forgotten more about building motorcycles than most will ever know ..... 👍

How can you eat mcdonadlds? and not need to poo a brick after?

Great video. Got 2 v stroms. A 07 650 I've had for 15 years and 165.000km. And a 2014 dl 1000 now. A second hand bike that I've added 35,000 km to. Pretty easy task where I live. Halfway between the Gawler Ranges national Park, and the Eyre highway on a dirt road. Everywhere is a 500km trip from here. Had issues with both bikes and the chain guards. Vibration of the dirt causes metal fatigue. However, zero issues besides that. 650 is amazing on fuel. 24km/litre at casual cruising gives me 400 plus range. Plenty of power too. But the 1000 is a real weapon. I don't ride that for fuel economy haha. I ride it to enjoy myself. It eats the highway and the traffic with ease. Roadtrains and caravans are no obstacle. I also use the "throttle buddy". A great gadget for cruising. I get to the big smoke regularly (Adelaide) after a 600km ride, the hills and southern regions are my favourite place to indulge in some twisties. I kept the 650 when I upgraded because no one thought it was worth anything, and I couldn’t see the point of giving it away when it's still running like new. I use it for my daily, and the 1000 for the big jobs, and when I want to go two-up. Tyre choice is Metzler tourance. 650 now has shinko 50/50 on it because of the dirt road use. Anyhow, it was great to find your video, and see a different part of the country. Happy trails

Meanwhile the CRF would just full speed flat out like its a speed bump

💩💩

If it is going to transfer enough load to break a femur I can't imagine what it would do to an unprotected knee

Didn't have to convince me I've got a 2013 and I love it definitely best dual sport Eva.

🤦 "PromoSM"

my euro 5 2024 model stock sounds so much quiterr than this.....

👀❤️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️

How hard is it to get a bike license in Japan?

I wanna move out to france and go to australia to become enduro police force for real😂

Based on KZfaq alone, it seems like once an Aussie bloke turns 40 or so the government issues him a 7 year old DR650 to putt across the outback

Im looking at getting a v strom 1000 btween the year 2017-2019 i actually prefer this model over the new one. Dont see why they got rid of the push screen thats one of the things people loved about this bike

At the minute the only motorcycle companies that actually innovate are Honda and Kawasaki. BMW waits and copies, Yamaha just changes looks every year, Suzuki change things once every 20 years (although tbh that shows they often hit the nail on the head first time with usually a simple approach). But yeah, only two manufacturers are really trying. CFMoto and Voge are putting out normal kit but with decent componentry where the others scrimp on their lower specced bikes - so not innovation but certainly understanding their markets. Trouble is the motorcycle world is still very male dominated, very macho "I don't need rider aids/cruise control/ABS etc" and these folks, who seem to just be chest beating on principal but are actually just scared of change or don't like choice are providing the perfect reason for manufacturers not to bother innovating and to just change colours or body panels and charge another grand for the privilage. They even accept KTMs with failling cams/valves just because it looks macho and rowdy. Demand more for your money people, come on.

Great vid mate, any idea how much the bike weighs as is now?. cheers

Excellent vid. Do wish a map was included.
