So, this bike is for racing. I won’t start at every light with 5000 rpm.
Just found your channel, thinking about a 950s. Great video and ideas for places to stay. Is that a quadlock on your phone?
I had one back in 1984. Thanks so much for the little trip down memory lane.
La verdaf que no noto un cambio radical...
Aqui no Brasil não tem nenhuma!!!!!!
Pilotar uma dessa é prazer pra toda vida!!!!!!.....
Que máquina maravilhosa, essa é para toda vida!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
Mate, stick to the review.
You keep shortshifting. you need need to rev the tits off it to get the full noise from that end can. It does sound better at low revs with a deeper tone.
rode both and ended up with the suzuki absolutely the rght choice for me
Very nice great job 👏
@@mikeprior6898 Thanks 😀👍
Would have liked to got closer shots of the build and get the music turned down
Manual is the best, do not touch the DCT..a horrible mutation.
What a let down. Kawasaki really needs to comprehend this matters to many buyers.
I got a new one this year, when it was discontinued to be replaced by nx500. Well, I preferred the cb500x, which is much sexier and stylish than the new nx.
I'm from Singapore, and likewise, the local dealer is bringing in the NX400 to replace the CB400X. I managed to get the CB because the NX styling is kinda meh for me. Just hope there are adequate spare parts!
Nice toy 👍
Hi Mark, does the rear seat cowl come standard in the UK? Aftermarket ones are meant to be hit or miss...
Hello. No it doesn’t come standard. It’s a genuine KTM part.
Hi there … have you noticed a big change in fuel economy ?
Hello. I have never checked the fuel economy so I wouldn’t know.
Hi … I had the full system fitted to mine not long ago … according to the onboard computer I was getting 44mpg before .. this had dropped to around 34 mpg ….. sounds fantastic so maybe I’ve been revving harder 😂
I disagree I think k the kawasaki is better
The perfect bike for your crumbly golf cart roads!
hi mate when are you doing the test in the Suzuki rgv 250 ?
Hello. If you mean the test ride it’s been on my channel for about a year now.
@@itchingtoride Yea seen that one ,you was running it in and said you would do snootier test at a later day ,,also the rgv250 with the rg500 engine would be good to watch 😃
@@alfiebrindle4537 I have sold the RGV 250 so there will not be anymore videos of that. Hopefully will get to ride my mates RGV250 with the 500 engine in this summer 👍
@@itchingtoride Ok cheers 👍
Great video! What was the average fuel consumption for the whole trip on your Multistrada 950s? Regards!
Thanks. Sorry i don’t know. I didn’t check it.
🏍👍👍👍
Any issues with excessive engine heat in low speed city riding?
Hello! Is the sequence of the clutch different from the AC RDs? Cause the Yamaha manual says to start with clutch plate - o ring - friction plate and so on..
Hello sorry I don’t know only worked on the LC.
The number plate is ridiculous I would keep it in the side cases and tell any police officer that the mounts were vandalized and ripped off
Great bike but I'd never buy from a dealer that load up a bike with their name and logo. Car manufacturers do that enough, we don't need it on bikes.
Gday mate, I engineered my bike and lifted 2 expantion chambers under RGV m series tail complete with heat plate 2 Stingers exit the old rgv lights. Rgv m series mags with rear tire hugger and rgvm front nose and side pannels . Rgvm brakes and upside down forks. Fitted stronger mono shock. MoT certifying engineer said the bike had excellent mods to make bike handle and brake well, bringing bike to today's specs. Looks much like a ducati bi pesto 990. Through the oil injector into the rubbish bin imediately and pre mix. Piston 2 is famous for burning up from blocked injector to carrborator. Bush pig at low speed. But all hell breaks loose at 3000rpm. Hang on tight. Andrew Nz
Looks amazing proper street racer sweet ride wish I’d got one ☝️
Anyone remember Roger and his RG500 with Nikonfrom Box Hill in the late 80s??
You’ll want to look after the headstock bearings from wheelies-it will beat the bearing pocket oval and you’ll end up with a clicking feeling that can’t be cured by tightening the bearings on the steering stem. IMO this is a lot of the reason they tank slap.
🏍👍👍👍
I have an 86 rg500 mine has been bored out to 5:52 CiCi's it has the Tommy Croft pipes it hit the dyno @116 hp
Cool
I have this in my collection. Can't wait to get the first service out of the way so I can really experience its power. Keen to compare against my 2019 GSXR1000R and 2024 Sporster S
Can't believe some of the prices these after market companies charge.. Like they just make up a figure for a laugh... Blanking washers £25!😮...fly screen (plastic) £70😮 Tail tidy.... 😮 Fortunately I was lucky and there's a decent one by J Tech for 45quid
how much miles did you do on a gen 2 GT by now? were there any reliability issues in all these years? would you say that a 1290 GT is a reliable bike? great video :D keep up the good work :D
Hello. I think I done about 5,000 miles on it. I did have one problem with it. it did not start and it said fuel pump fault on the dash. Took it to KTM and no codes. It just said battery low voltage. Put a new battery on it was ok for the rest of the time I had it. But only done about 1,000 more miles and got a Ducati. I don’t think it was a battery as it was turning over nice and quickly. Great bikes to ride and fantastic engines but they do have some electrical problems. But all bikes do.
They sound beautiful a bit like crons and old Barry sheen had them on his 500 Suzuki 👍👍
You fancy doing my 350 lol 😮
Excellent review, nice ride and some really good video, I love this bike, I had the first generation 2016 model, I really noticed the twitchy throttle at first, then I just got used to it? absolutely bonkers at full chat on a decent road! I think I prefer this to the GT & GX, glad I found your channel 👍
Just found your channel wow such memories. I’m 61 years old and just took early retirement, had bikes from 16 to 40 years old. Now I’m retired and have time on my hands I’m looking to buy a 2stroke again. I’m not that tall or big built so looking for a bit of advice. I did have an x7 back in the day but thought the Rgv was the one that got away. So in your opinion should it be an Rgv or something more upright LC 250/ 350. Looking at a place called fast line in Preston and Chris hall in Doncaster. I’m in Scotland but would have the bike delivered. Any advice would be appreciated. Take care and look after those old strokers . Tom.
No go for the rgv 250 👍😃the rgv would smash the rd 350 lc 💯😃🐑
You spleeny Brits are a spooky lot .... driving on the wrong side of the road ... all the times.
Shame about the extra work on the crankcase, that said why did you go to all the trouble of vapour blasting the barrels and having them checked over etc, only to leave the crankcase untouched? Especially when it had the dreaded orange sealant and how import a sealed crankcase is on a 2stoke! Lesson learned there hopefully.
They came during an era of fast fall in new bike costs, I got my 2000 version for 6.5K new which was also easy to get cheap finance for. The only thing holding people back was the ever present issue of insurance costs. We didn't understand at the time but it was a golden era for bikers.
Sounds brilliant mate how you finding your Ducati any regrets. I was looking at the touring version they have bought out new for this year 👍👍
Masterpiece, many congratulations!
Those front forks bent??
No not bent.
Great videos on this iconic bike, Well done ❤
I think I can hear that this sounds more like riding a motorczcle than the DCT videos I watched ... just a little bit more engaging ... who needs extra driving modes for the gearbox just for that the bloody thing still needing a little help to find the right gear.
