      I was just at the dealership today, and while waiting on my bike I saw both the yellow and the blue GSX8-R and they look amazing. And saw a blue 8S next to it.

      Cue next shot: “NOT the WHITE!”

    First things I did to my new to me 2017 sv650. #1 NELSON Commuter sport tail bag. #2 usb charger mounted on handle bar. #3 ram mount. It already had a windscreen, sliders, tail tidy and tank grips. I may try a throttle lock now that I've seen it done. Thanks Papa Yams!

    • @adamritchey4209
      @adamritchey4209 Před 3 měsíci

      All good things except the mount. Get either a Rokform or a Quadlock. Both are good. Ram mount is garbage. I know the other two can get a bit spicy in price, but it's less than what it would be to replace your phone when it inevitably falls out of the RamMount

  • @tomhogland
    @tomhogland Před 3 měsíci +4

    All good things, except it would be more functional to route the USB connector to the front. That way you can plug in your Apple cable, a micro-USB/USB-C/etc or whatever. For extra function you could have selected one that has USB and a volt meter, plus a power switch, so whatever you plug in won't inadvertently drain your battery if you leave it plugged in. All in all though, excellent mods to make daily riding better.

    @Yammienoob and other bike riders out there, i have a question. I think here in the Netherlands its not as easy to get your motorcycle license as it is in for example America.
    Here in the Netherlands you have to take about 15 - 20 lessons (this is on the street and highway as well), you need to take an exam in special manouveres and take a final exam showing that you can really ride a bike and find your way through trafic. You also need to take a theorie exam showing you know the trafic rules.
    Also you can take the above exams for a A class bike. That is 35 kw and above.
    Seeing you have to get all the above and the amount of lessons you have to take, can i start on a bit of a more heavy bike like a GSX8R ( I know not really heavy in the eyes of most people).
    @Yammienoob, would love to get your opinion on this!
    All the help is welcome!
    Thank you and drive save!

      Same for Norway. I started on an MT07, and if you can honestly say you understand the machine you're on, how it works, that whiskey throttle is gonna end badly, and can perform a basic risk assesment before doing something potentially stupid, it's a great bike to start on. Lots of fun torque, and being a naked bike, it kinda limits how much you want to do stupid fast speeds. It will do 200km/h and more, but you're gonna have a helluva time hanging on. Definitely recommend starting on a naked, no matter what brand. Very fun in the twisties, around town and just general daily stuff

      @@bramrobeerst7220 no worries, you just gotta be honest with yourself. It's a great hobby and one you'll want to have for years to come, making it very important to never ride beyond your skill. A Mt07, CB650, GSX8R or similar middle weight bike will give you enough power to stay entertained for a couple years, while still giving you margins of error you don't get with a bike that does mach jesus if you ever sneeze while riding. A bike that's too powerful or fast for your skills will just make it scary or uncomfortable to ride, making you ride less, never push your skills and never learn to master it. Good luck, hope you enjoy it as much as I do
