- I found this old Suzuki GN for sale second hand. It was broken and leaking but there was something special about it that drew me in, so I decided to fix it up and give it a budget make over.
This film follows three months of weekends to get it ready for the first ride.
Thanks to Marty for helping me with the project.
Music: I wrote this music specifically for this video.

It takes 37 muscles to frown
17 to smile
And just 7 to twist the throttle - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Than you for all the comments about the video and music. You can get the song here:

Thanks for the song and video.
Downloaded it yesterday (finally) and wow it sounds good in the car (thank you Mark Levinson!)
The smiles at the end say it all. Happiness in a vehicular nutshell. Love it.
yo guys definitely need more bike videos! loved this! would love you guys to maybe do your own cafe racer or mad turbo bike?
mcmtv2 please wear a full face helmet. If it weren't for one, than most probably I wouldn't have a lower jaw by now...
Wow, MCM can make a 6 minute video without a word being spoken that is better then 98% of the other automotive content available.
Thank you, Moog and Marty for all the amazing stuff!
Vegaspsycho literally better than ever TDIB video, better than Rob Dahm,
Vegaspsycho The rest of the 2% being other MCM videos ofc. (:
This was also better than _some_ MCM videos. This was very well made.
this is why these two have been successful on youtube for so many years. they just keep getting better
What exactly is TDIB?
I died a little when he painted over that beautiful orange paint. i loved the way the bike was turning out until that point. Still a nice bike, but the orange tank would have made it a head turner.
Its all about preference.. it's his bike after all. He's the one that will look at her every day so it should look the way he pleases.
kyle kelley I completely agree
Agreed.
I agree totally disappointed with the painting of then tank. I don't really care for orange but it would have popped nicely with the black.
At least left the logo's chrome for abit of contrast. Not convinced on the black-on-black
In this video we get a glimpse of the real Moog: not the lovable yet exasperating loudmouth but rather a serious and dedicated artisan and a beautiful human who gives and receives so much joy in creating the things he loves. Wish there were more videos like these.
I haven't ridden in a little over 8 years. I had a nasty crash when I was younger, some broken bones and needing a blood transfusion. I recently spent some time with a good, lifelong friend catching up and the subject of riding came up. Getting back on a bike after my crash was something I never overcame in all this time despite occasionally thinking about it. Anyway it turned out my friend has an old Superdream in his shed among a few other bikes which he offered me. I tentatively said yes, feeling it was a good time to get back into it. Watching this video has made me feel a kind of heartwarming excitement that I can't really describe and I'm left counting the days until that little Honda is sat in my garage and I can go out on it. Thanks guys ❤️
Just had a crash myself, after a 10 year hiatus not riding. Silly low speed fall, 1 block from home, hit the pavement hard, broken foot and lots of scrapes... Take it from me: it's all about the gear. Get good gear and WEAR IT ALL THE FREAKING TIME!
Did it happen? Did you get the Honda Superdream? Did you fix it? Ride it?
put this on the main channel, this is art
well that was unexpected and amazing
Exactly!
Very meditative. I really felt pulled in by the unspoken narrative of the build. The smile at the end was perfect.
And somewhat moving too
Moog love the original music to this - so talented - planning on adding this track to Spotify?
I didn't care for the build personally, but this video was very artfully done. Nice job!
Getting my first bike tomorrow. (Probably) I'm here. Back watching this video just to have a look again and realized it took me more than 4 years.... Don't stop. And don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it. Fight for what you want and keep always going no matter how hard it is. There's a light at the end of the tunnel and you might get lucky and find something beautiful. Cheers to the MCM guys and everyone who reads this.
Your smile at the end says everything anyone would need to know about building and riding bikes, their isn’t a feeling like it. Doesn’t matter if it’s a 125 or a 1000.
Obviously it's a question of personal preference but I really liked the look of the bike when he had everything black but the tank still orange.
Same, when he was cleaning it on the bench I was really hoping it'd just be a polish and re-attach. The finished product looks awesome but I felt it needed the contrast.
Agree!
I feel the same way, but i dont think he should've painted the motor either.
I would have liked a black badge and left the tank orange.
I would have left it orange or painted it gray personally. But I'm not a huge fan of all black, Moog's 240 is also ALL black in the same way, along with the WRX and the Focus they just built.... something tells me Moog has a thing for all black lol
as a fellow rider, not have you done us proud moog but you have captured the essentials of motorcycling: Customization.
3 year later and still one of my favourite MCM videos 👌
Everything from the cinematography to the music and the build as a whole was soothing. Loved it. Please do another one!
You guys should do some more motorcycle work 😍😍😍
This was beautiful! I would love to see more motorcycle-related content if you have it!
HEROrr please
YES THET I LIKE
Yea motorcycles are awesome.
Didn't expect to see you here
Me too, be cool to see more motorcycle content!
This has to be one of the most beautiful bike makeover videos I've ever seen. You showed care and love of the job u was doing and turned a regular video into a story and that smile at 6.15 shows true emotion at the accomplishment. Simply amazing.
This is one of the greatest MCM videos ever made in my opinion, I’ve always loved their content. I remember the days when they were working out in Marty’s driveway, it’s awesome to see how far they’ve come and the things they’ve accomplished. It’s awesome that they can still make new and engaging content for their viewers.
Well this is going in my favorites tab for eternity. Very well done
NEED MOAR!!
My question is how did I start it without the battery . He used electirc start .
Must used some jumper cables and took off with out the battery . You couldn't see behind his legs . So one guy filmed and the other did the cables after he started it he took them off fast
Looks like a smaller battery up under the seat...
Chicken Mac it might be I couldn't see it like 1 sec and you can't see any thing
O my goodness, this deserves so much more than just a like and a favorite!
Some hundreds of dollars for the bike.
3 Months of work to fix the bike up.
Dozens of hours composing and editing to make a masterpiece.
And it all comes down to 7 muscles to twist a throttle,
1 smile on Moog's face and it was shared by 10's of thousands of other people :)
It's absolutely incredible, put this is a short film festival and I'd vote for it any day!
Beautiful stuff Moog and Marty
this smile has no borders. this happiness have no explanation, except for those who understand the value of two wheeled passion. this is life. this is love. thanks for it.
I love, love, love, loveee this format. Shooting on quality primes, getting creative with framing, and attention-holding pacing with fantastic original music; this thing really hit a home run with me. I know you guys can do some fantastic filmmaking and would love to see you guys stretch your cine-legs like this more often.
Thanks heaps man. Glad you enjoyed it!
mcmtv2 will the music be released? I'm keen to get it in my library. Smooth, Emotional and Ethereal. I think I just found a new favourite song.
I agree this was an awesome video!!! I don't think I even blinked through it!
You just described all the feels I was having! Great eye. Epic video
I know I did
Finally some motorbike action
Agreed
This still nearly brings years to my eyes after all these years. Just absolutely beautifully put together.
I'm so freaking glad you finally did a motorcycle video as a rider and as a motovlogger I give praise for this thank you Moog and Marty for your hard work and dedication !
That was awesome. Love the smiles!
I agree......we all shared a feel good moment with this one!
Your videos are awesome too man, where are the next ones coming??
Made my day
I never comment but this is the best video hands down this year. Throw a few bike projects in the mix for us all around gearheads
Picked up my first bike, a late 90's CB600F, a year ago and I've been in love ever since! Bring on Mighty Bike Mods!
That was spectacular……Would love to see more videos like
this from you guys!!
This is so beautiful - I'm speechless. This video was work of art - main channel worthy!
Award worthy
Marty and MOOG please upload more motorcycle content, and keep up the good work. Cheers from the land of polar bears and maple syrup 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
will be doing two build videos on my channel a fzs600 streetfighter and a gsx1100 chop if either of them get your attention
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT, ALL MY LIFE....
Been following you guys for awhile now, not forever, but for awhile, and the only reason I know about this video is because of your 250 tips in one video that you JUST released. SO glad I watched and so glad you referenced this because otherwise I may never have seen it. I'm just starting a custom bike project myself and this definitely gave me a HUGE motivation boost. Thanks for all you guys do and keep pumping out that Aussie Goodness.
Riding a motorcycle that you have worked on gives you emotions that are hard to describe. It's a feeling that you can only get when you put hours of effort, work, and love into your own bike. It's almost like there's a special bond between you and the machine, and it is the best feeling in the world.
You mean that all consuming worry that you didn't tighten the front axle lock nuts for the first couple of minutes?
then a 15 year old on a permit texting in a 2018 leased suv runs you and your bike over
Stunning. This should be posted on the main channel. More motorcycle videos!
I agree 100% It has an engine, some wheels and can move under it's own power - not to mention can be modified just as much as a car - should definitely be on the Main Channel.
Can't agree more. I think they should add a bit of motorcycle content to give it some refresh
If Moog had made his bike the way you want it, it just simply wouldnt be him. Dude is an artist and we must let him do it his own and unique way. This video is just beautiful.
if moog did it the exact way he wanted, would it be wrapped in aluminium foil?
are guys are so incredibly blessed with your friendship and shared passions.
Oh you guys just caught me by surprise in a great moment to do so! Thanks for being what you are!
I would have left the fuel tank orange and just painted the suzuki badge black, but other than that...very nice, almost as satisfying as a good fank.
Kit Bloke i would of done a sublime or a plum crazy purple tank
Yup, I was completely behind the whole build until the tank got painted.
right? i am saddened, but i realize he probably wanted it to be blacked out. orange would be better tho
Yeah just that one pop of colour! But Moog is a bit of a prepper survivalist so I assume he wants it all matte black for running the post apocalyptic max max roads.
That would certainly work, I kind of like the idea of leaving that little bit of the original character myself, but each to their own.
Impressive. No Words to show my feeling, when i see the way you change...
I come back here every so often, notto remind myself that I cannot ride a motorcycle again, But to center myself. To enjoy the music, to see the satisfaction of "Motorbike".
Holy fuck you went to the effort to change into a saucy red dress just to make that silly little scene at 5:21? COMMITMENT TO THE BANTER. 11/10 Moogerocity
Arthur J Gibson wtf i just noticed! why he did that
It looked like a wife beater / vest to me
this made me want to go outside and give my bike a hug...
SkiTard93 What? Give your bike a tug?
.
I just huged mine!
Mind fucking blown by the beauty of this comment
you all do that too? :)😂
Glad I'm not the only one haha
I grew up watching your first videos when you guys were still in your driveway you guys helped me so much when I was modding my car in high school and now as I transition on in life and I'm working on my motorcycle I start this video and a minute and I realize that it's you..... the nastalgia was real and I was so happy I freaking love you guys keep up the good work!!!!!!
While I watch your vids for your personalities as much as your products, I LOVED this video! Just one man, with a little help, and some nice music, making his bike his own.
holy crap... AMAZING
Not digging the black tank, maybe a tan or grey colour with black badges but very nice build either way, as long as moog likes his bike the way it looks doesn’t matter. Ride safe man
It's just a tank. If he gets bored of black, then he can repaint it easily.
Kyle TheTreeKat i thaught the orange was alright adds a bit of contrast and makes it pop
I was a fan of the orange also.
Beautiful work of art. Great job 😊
Wow not many can capture what building and riding a motorcycle is, but that's it right there. Wow 👍
I haven't watched this yet but I'm sure that this will be awesome.
Edit: I just finished it, and wow, that was literally like 20x better than i expected. 10/10
So you expected it to be like 0,5/10? Haha jk
That was beautiful...
*tear rolls down my face*
As a bike rider I absolutely loved this. More motorbike content please! Stunning music and cinematography
The best mcm video in recent months.
Simply one man, one machine, one basic build.
Yes! Finally a motorcycle video! And it looks fantastic!
Keep up the good content
Aww I thought the orange color was sweet as
Thank you, I know this ones been posted for a bit but I find myself watching it a few times a week. I can only hope we see more motorcycles from time to time.
Awesome video, thanks for making it! Really enjoyed it, and something to aspire to!
Holy shit Moog, great camera-work and editing!!
MBM?
MMM
Bro, you’ve given me knew inspiration for my 91 gn125! Great work! Looks simple enough! This video is super helpful in getting me more motivated to complete my mods on mine.
Currently I have a GN250 and doing a complete rebuild, love what you've done with the bike! Makes me happy that one of the best CZcams channels shows and modifies the same motorbike I own!
6:14 what it's all about. That smile! Thanks for making this!
YESSSS!!!! Mcm finally does a bike thing other than the motocompo!
The original was so classic and beautiful! Now it just looks black. All that chrome was the catch!
Thank you for making this, hit me in the feels as that was my first bike I brought
Yes! More bikes!
Always liked MCM as a car guy. As a Bike guy, i actually love you right now. Keep it up, ride safe!
I've watched this video so many times, the music and pacing is perfect. Really does make me want to go out and do something similar in my spare time.
Thank you for the content
The quality of this video and the work you put into this bike is amazing
Why isn't this on the main channel?
This was great!
Maybe they should launch mighty bike mods.
MCM: this video reminded me of why I started working on motorbikes and cars in the first place. Can't wait to start wrenching this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration ✌️
Thank you for the free therapy session. That was absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful work, beautiful video!!!
all you had to do was to leave the fuel tank alone please oh please stop with the blackness that is consuming us from the inside
I'm with you on that. The orange tank would have looked awesome.
Also, all black bike... Don't ride it at night! Car drivers don't need much of an excuse to be blind idiots at the best of times.
BTW, my bike's yellow... *very* yellow, and I've still had people pull out in front of me!
Oh, and what's the deal with the down-pipe bondage?
That was wonderful and relaxing to watch. Wouldn't mind more videos in this style!
Never knew I could enjoy mcm without them talking...they really are the best in everything!
perfect music, perfect vibe, perfect bike..,, THANK YOU
Moog how do you make these videos so beautiful man? Everything about your videos just puts me in the mood that you want me to be in. That one video where you and Marty drove off through the woods and the camera elevated up and panned away honestly made me choke up, this one makes me feel like I'm watching my dad tinker on his bike back in the day, and you never even say a word. I hope you never grow too old to love what you do, the music is beyond me, I listen to as much of your music as I can find and I love it all. Much love from Arizona ✌🏻 you're inspiring me to be better with every video
More bike content please!
That was truly amazing and inspiring! Love it.
Awesome edit. Loved how it turned our and I'm glad moog loves it. More motorcycles please!
that was beautiful! Speaking of beautiful... are you wearing a slinky red dress at timestamp 5:21?
Nice one moog!! Always great to see a fellow biker build his own bike, I built a 89 honda cbr 600 into a street fighter using the arse end of a suzuki sv650. The front was all made by hand. Ride safe brother =) and remember loud pipes save life's!
Nice make-over Moog! That's what I call 'keeping the old and good stuff alive'! Well Done!
This is one of the best videos Marty and Moog has ever put out, I am kinda surprised that this is not in the main channel.
That's no problem, it is kinda lika a secret treat to MCM's true or long-time fans.
that smile is priceless...i know the feelin... good job on the diy
God that music is amazing. I want that song ugh that was incredible!
He released it!
Maravilha o trabalho de customização. Show
One of The best video!! Amazing and perfect for chill with that music !!!
Cheers!!!!
Something other than EDM, how refreshing.
Got me right in the feels when Marty appeared giving a helping hand
Such a relaxing build video. Loved this soo much!
That smile....that smile tells you everything you need to know about why people ride bikes
Great film, great choice of bike! My buddy made a FANTASTIC-looking cafe racer out if a GN400

All I have to say is, thank you. Thank you so much for inspiring me.
Please make more videos like this. These are highly enjoyable because you see both the passion and object of passion in the same go. Thanks for making and sharing this video.
Great work Suzuki Gn125 my first love!!
Seriously loved it!!! Do more with motorcycles!!!!
Nathan Barrett haha wtf almost the same name
THAT WAS AMAZING! Moog you really let your skills and talent show on this one. I’ll be watching this on repeat!
I'm kinda sad that it's limited to one like per video, this video was perfection! It's not about how I'd like to see it if I did it (the build), it's about the passion Moog put into it and he's smile all throughout the whole proyect.
The smile while riding it says it all 👌🏼
Beautiful made !!
