Nice to be able to keep in contact with who you're riding with

Buying a AGV Helmet with the "Insyde" system, which I am told IS a Cardo system! Great! But, She-who-sits-behind-me, my love, need a comm system as well. What to buy? She has a Shoei-non-flip-helmet. She needs Phone, music, talk to me and maybe one other bike with Cardo system and max two riders. Is the Insyde system crap? Should I get a standalone system from Cardo in some duopack? Riding a GS and using an iPhone. It seems to me you really knows this jungle. Appreciate your input (and other folks here). PS. Love that Kiwi dialect!

They are thinking that the riders who buy their traditional older bikes are getting older and eventually will stop riding or die. If they want to stay in business they will have to come out with bikes that appeal to younger and beginner riders. And they are right. It's the same reason Cadillac is making smaller, sportier and more efficient cars now instead of the old massive land yachts.

Hey look, its Minime's bike from Austin Powers!

Yee hate on this all you want, this ain't no Harley!

Its a Benelli its as simple as that.

They should have brought in The X 440 which is available inn India only

First time you've come up in my feed, have been watching international bike KZfaqrs for 8+ years so surprised not to have seen you. Looked at your catalogue and think you have a good range of content. Have subscribed as you come across well and I want to see more NZ content, so please keep it up.

just found your channel. im looking forward to watch your content

Hey guys. Has anyone here tried to connect more than one Cardo and the audio came out in the Gopro recording?

the reg harley riders would look down there nose at that as everyone else another harley fail id say

Yep, much better options on the market. Question is, which is worse - The X 350 I rode or the X 500 you rode?

This is almost ridiculous - remember the first Virago coming out and people laughed, "The Japs are trying to copy HARLEY DAVIDSON!" Then the Japanese cruisers got better and bigger, the Intruder 1400 being the first with more cc than a 1340 cc HD. For decades the Japs built cruisers from 250 to 2000 cc which could run rings around the Harleys. When I first heard that HD is bringing out a 500 and a 750, watercooled, OHC, I had to laugh, because now HD was copying the successful Shadows, Intruders, Viragos and Vulcans. The Americans copying Japanese copies of American bikes, and losing to the Japanese! A rider who buys this bike over a Japanese cruiser must be very, very proud of his country. :)

I think it was better when they had the high rack I would like them to do same as the old one for the vstrom 1050

It's an HD for the rider that doesn't have 35K+ to spend on the rest of their lineup. FFS, motorcycle journalists are all like "HD has lost out on the new, younger rider market because they're focused on high end bikes for old retired guys" and when they do make one that isn't for a retired Boomer "it's shite".

Can cardo spirit connected to my go pro 12 camera via bluetooth? 🤔

55, thanks for the review 🤘🏼

I've got the same engine in my TRK502X, it feels basically "fine" for everything with a slightly more interesting note than say a cb500x. Picked it up BARELY used for 7k aud, used as a daily and no real problems in 13,000km so far. I don't think I'd have as much of a problem with the Harley if they didn't try to slap their tax on a Leoncino with stickers, aesthetically I think it's a massive downgrade even

Why cant america make a classic enduro/adventure bike

Looks like an uglier cf moto cl 700x 😂😂😂😂

Yep. Typical Harley. They’ve been phoning it in for decades now.

Thought you were not commuting any more

I think the triumph 400 as a competitor is a much better finished product and better to ride. I was considering one of these as a commuter, but went a different way. Enjoyed the review.

The manual for the fodsports sucks. The way you enable coms is put both in pairing mode by holding the big button for 6 seconds. Then enable coms by quick pressing the power button then the big button.

Hi how did you find the handling on the road ? Did you notice any change? Would it be recommended to lower the front also?

55, great info :)

55!! Thanks for the info.. I won't tell your wife. We good!

55

looks really good

Just upgraded from original. Moto2 is a fantastic update, and the powered mont is a very welcome addition. Moto2 also adds speed limit on navigation & speedometer screens, very nice. I ride a custom Royal Enfield Continental GT 650, so a big rectangle navigation is unwelcome

All the best for the future! Safe riding

Nice review, I prefer using discord if you have data on your phone. Otherwise if there is no data, mesh will have to do.

i got a sena AGV helmet ARK and it is shit at £300

Is there any issues regarding its pinlock. I’ve heard that the pinlock tends to touch the gasket of the helmet. And prone to scratches.

Great ethical stance, if only many car and motorcycle reviewers in NZ and overseas had your ethical credentials.

150 miles on my scr and 3 issues. Left the dealer with a faulty turn signal, its 46c where i live and the evap cannister is getting full and wont let the bike start, and lastly the bike shuts off in neutral putting the kick stand down and putting it back up still wont allow it to start needs to be in first or second. Other than that i really like it just annoying with the teething issues.

Whoa, awesome news, congratulations on the new role (adventure), well deserved. Really looking forward to the future content, all the very best.

I have your solution. Do motorcycle reviews on any bike in stock, but do not release the video until the specific bike has been sold. Therefore, it's not marketing for your employer to try and sell the bike you're reviwing. I am a solutions man. You're welcome. ZG1400 rider from the Rangitikei district.

I use these in my commuter bike, been running around with one in the tyre for months, never had an issue & holds pressure just fine..... sure i wouldn't do a track day with one but im a big fan of them.

thank you for this, this is just what I needed, as a first time buyer its very confusing as to which model to buy, I have a Shoei Neotec 2 and im also looking at the Sena SRL2 which one would you buy, the Sena or the Cardo?

I like honda but also crispy M&M's ...

Great to see you in Wellington, looking forward to future editions

Thanks for the great review. You are probably getting cold because the jacket has wet out even if it hasn't got through the waterproof liner. Can't the waterproof liner be worn on the outside? That would stop the jacket wetting out and becoming cold.

Congratulations on your new job. I'm sure being involved in the industry where your passion lies has been a goal for you. Did love those commute videos though...

I look forward to your future videos congrats on the new job.

More vids morning! The quality is so bad at night.

I want more bike noise though it seems like it cuts out bike noise completely

55 ...what is better Gopro 12 or Insta360 X3.Cheers from Auckland 🏍

Nice video! Had this helmet for a few yeara but only now ordered my first headset, so I hope you see this comment. Anyway, I think I found thr place where the speakers should go, but there is some sponge glued inside. Do I pull it out before sticking the speaker inside, or?
