Harley sucks

I have a Yamaha V-max it will smoke that turd

Speed triple T509

Yuck no woke harleys. Harley is tainted now. Lol!! Down with harley. Go buy a good reliable bike and ditch the crappy harley

Down shifting with no throttle and up shift with at least 30% to smooth things out. And it's definitely a sport tour or street sport, not a super sport. Good review. I like hearing honest people if they dont like a bike. It helps find weak spots that lead to improvements.

How the fuck do they drop the deluxe and Vrod and the break out survived?

Does it come with a his & his seat?

Miss my SV650. Had the original 99, bought it brand new and had her for 5 years. I want another one for my short commute (2nd bike) of 7 miles. I have a Hayabusa but sometimes I just don't want to drag it out of the garage for such a short trip to work.

Get woke, go broke.

I brought mine from Randy and I LOVE IT!!! And he's GREAT!!!

Why is it that you pay $1350 to get the blacked out version. However, you find there are chrome opening levers on the saddlebags? Maybe because the want to rip you off at the parts counter for black ones post purchase. I was really getting fed up with the heel shifter coming as standard equipment! Happy to see Harley answered my prayers and made it another costly option.

What’s the top speed can you drive it on the highway just fine ?

First! Another great review of a legendary bike!

Would this be a good upgrade coming from a Z400? I'm interested in the Z650 and the Trident 660. Which would be better? All experienced opinions would be appreciated. Im about 5'10" 32" inseam.

10k overpriced, slow junker

it may be a Honda in drag

I'm planning to get this as my first 2 wheel bike. I currently ride a Ryker 900 Ace. But, I would much prefer a Triumph T100 but I'd like to start small in the CCs. If it gets me from point A to point B and learn on, is that all that matters to me.

Love this!

I wonder what the dealer says if a bad review is ever given for a bike? I think dealerships that let people ride bikes for reviews have certain expectations.

Ive had one of these since 2016 and it's absolutely perfect as a first bike to last (and not outgrow quickly like a 250/300). I put a Coffman shorty exhaust on it and it VASTLY improved the sound.

Do you have to use high octane fuel because of the high compression???

Thanks for the video. Is the throttle considered "jerky" at low RPM?

Seems like zero to sixty should be in 3 second range. Low threes even. This bikes got almost the HP of a vrod and double the torque almost. Only slightly heavier. What am I missing?

I'm getting it for fuel economy, don't need to go fast, just need to get there ;)

Jesus loves you so much ❤

Shit video!

Just picked up a 2024 Pan America CVO w/150 HP! Luv it! Needed something with on/off road capabilities with my new homestead. Wasn’t gonna attempt riding my 950 LB Roadglide Limited on dirt/gravel roads .

Шкив сильно большой, если поставить поменьше, будет больше максималка, но динамика упадёт.

easy way to fix the vibe issue. Shift up. I generally shift much earlier if im just cruising. Only time i rev it is if im accelerating. At 70 it will sit round 4.5k rpm and you wont know if your bike is even on. It still has enough grunt to pass or just click down on the quick shift 2x and jump into hyperspace.

First! Love your content as usual!! You always cover bikes that I have been drooling over lol! BTW, had the same experience at suburban Detroit dealership! Didn’t even acknowledge my existence and gave 3-4 word answers when I tried to engaged in friendly banter checking out the Ike’s and asking about specs….got the persona non grata vibe!

Killer bike and a blank canvas to set it up the way you want.

Tell you what, the CFmoto SR- series is tops!! Seriously !! I am amazed at the quality these bikes come out with. The price is spec😅!! Of course there are bikes out there that are crazy fast, but these beautiful looking bikes are much safer in that respect... In the Twisties it's a gem. The acceleration is perfect for our use. And the CST tires are surprisingly sticky. I take my lean angle to max - 1/4 of a chicken strip on the rear, and 1/8 in the front tire. The position being less aggressive than most super bike types. Very comfortable in my opinion, I'm 5'9" 175 lbs. Fits me nicely. I'm 63 by the way, and had my share of Ducati, Kawasaki, Yamaha sport bikes and there's something About going back to a smaller, lighter, and way more controllable bike that feels like, well, "bliss"😊 Safe riding bud, a hello from Madrid, Spain .👍

I totally agree that is 1000% fun bike😂 only don't like that sound restrictions to silence 😜

I owned this bike for about a month - thought I’d pick it up to get back into riding (10 years away, but 10 years of previous experience). For the money, the build quality is excellent, the bike looks incredible, the riding position is sublime. The only real issue I had was the clutch - my hand would be SORE after riding from how hard the clutch is to pull compared to anything else I’ve ridden. The torque also left a lot to be desired, but I think that’s only because of my past experience. If I was new to riding, this would for sure be an excellent first or second bike.

Life is to short to drive Chinese motorcycles.

have you found a aftermarket oil filter that fits? it will take 2 months from cfmoto

I expect to be greeted and asked if they can assist me with anything. That's it. If I need further assistance I will ask. But as a few others have said. Just acknowledge that I exist and lets be honest. You can tell if someone needs assistance or is waiting for someone to say something. Ducati's are awesome and it would be cool to see some on the channel I will still be watching to see what you have in the future. MCDR 5k and growing.

It took me more than 15 minutes to know how to work upshifting/downshifting on the bike. It seems like you always have to be on the throttle and if you are not, use the clutch. Also to change modes on the fly you have to close the throttle. Agree that the downshifts could be better.

to many dealers are like that now. While I was also looking forward to seeing some of those bikes you know as one door closes another opens up. Love the channel

I don’t care what the $$ amount is I want to know that my means a lot to you especially when I’m buying something I want and don’t need. You don’t have to kiss my a#@ but at least act like I matter and acknowledge my existence. A few years back I was at a Harley dealer in the Chicago area for their test ride weekend event. FYI the dealer pays $10k to have the demo truck for the weekend. I rode the Road Glide CVO in the Maiko Shark color. Not a single employee talked to me after my test ride. Sales people and mgrs were to busy BSng around so after 45 minutes we left and I spent my hard earned $45k elsewhere. If my people allowed that to happen I would be looking for new people!! 😢😢

The Old Guy started the vid out like a Pro Wrestling Promo 80s style!!..lol.

Silver lining that this happened before you dropped 20k on a bike. Terrible to hear about how they treated you since I personally was very excited to see some Ducati and MV Agusta bikes but no worries I am sure you will find a better dealer in the future. I will be here watching

Yeah that sucks man. shocks me that dealerships wouldn't be all over the basically free promotion. i personally want a dealer that is attentive to each and every person that comes in the door. Even if it is just to say hi and let me know if you need anything. I want to feel important to the dealership.

It's why I will drive 2hrs south of me to a dealer that has people that take care of your needs. They do warn ya if you come on Saturday though lol it's super busy. There is literally a dealer 1.5 miles from my house but they are very bad to deal with so I take my business elsewhere. Crying shame when you are looking at ANYTHING Ducati that they aren't all over ya trying to help. Sorry you went through that man.

Awesome review! That’s my next bike, I’m 5”7 that bike is perfect for me, love the triple! Thank you! 🙏 😊

sir what is ur height

Thanks for the review, mine comes in a few days, it's my first bike and i'm very excited! :)

Nice Video! really good unexpected braking test lol. I see the RSV4 higher on the list which surprised me. Would you buy that over the tuono?

Saw the thumbnail and thought you had the RS457 for a test. Yeah, this is a gorgeous bike though and would love to have one. Get a test on the 457, people saying it's the best 500cc or less bike now but who knows. Meanwhile I will drool over the sexy V4

I have own a 2017 for a few months now and I ride it every chance I get, I love it in every way, but I don’t think it is worth $12k. Now that I have experienced it, I wouldn’t invest such a capital in such an entry level toy, all you paying for is nostalgia and brand recognition but nothing more, it is a stripped down to the basics machine no frills or fancy thrills. The engine reminds me a lot of a sportsters 883, it is a torque tractor that loves to chew up hills but has no top end so forget about overtaking cars on a divided two lanes roads, you pop down a gear and nothing happens. The biggest limitation I am finding on this bike is comfort, am an all day rider, I can take off on a Saturday morning and ride all day, stop for lunch, and then ride all afternoon until 7pm, I find the bike suspension weird, and the seat uncomfortable, mine came with two seats, stock seat plus a British Custom bench seat, plus I add a gel madd dog pad, it doesn’t matter, after an hour I need to start sliding around the seat, switching buns, doing all kinds tricks to help me coup with pain and numbness on my buns. Next area of discomfort has been the grips, my hands get numb, it is not a vibration machine, I added thicker grips, I tried to bend my elbows and relax my grip, I have tried all tricks I know, but my hands still get numb after a while, maybe it is just me, am 45 so am getting up there. Conclusion, this is more of a Sunday short ride on a relax country road type of bike, don’t get any idea of long touring. Before this I had a 2013 Suzuki SVF650, all stock, I would do the same long rides with no discomfort at all, the only limitations was the small gas tank, I had to stop every 100 miles for fuel. I traded that for a 2018 Kawasaki Versys which had a 5 gallon fuel tank, better suspension, better brakes, but no engine growl, no character, I hated the personality of that parallel engine, and gear box, I always felt a gear too high or too low, but that engine was never happy and felt very lazy unless you were at really high RPMs breaking the law. Here comes the scrambler, full of character and plenty of grunt at low RPM so it always feels good at take off but it dies off pretty quickly. As you can see, there is no perfect bike. Another failure of the Versys was the gear lever mechanism, it rotates inside the foot peg, so it can get hard and clunky to shift, not the transmission fault, just the shifting lever, known issue. I don’t know what to get next.
