Love the speed triple rs but wish they kept the exhaust under the seat but still gorgeous. Always a great watch 👍🏻
Once that ugly stick out license plate holder comes off it looks much better. Evotech tail tidy on mine.
The 1200 speedy is a naughty one ! The triple and Aprilia v4 sound are the best in motorcycling 🙂👍
hi. I've owned this bike since may 11th. maybe the first in New York. I am a motorcycle mechanic since 1996. The rs1200 is easily the best I've ridden out all the 100s of bikes I've ridden. Your review is spot on. BUT...... I have a big problem with your camera work while riding. up down up down up down up down up down. did I say up down up down up down? I started to get a bit car sick so I fast forwarded a few times.. work on the up down up down up down and up down and I'd give your videos a 10.
ami grad circa 1988 , I've owned and ridden them all , speed trips my fave
(2nd only to a gpz I had when I was 18)
1996 huh?!? Really? Hmm… interesting. Let’s put your knowledge to the test, would you consider the 1050 RS ?
1050 rs is an excellent bike. more torque than top end. seating position for me at 5 feet 9 inches is spot on. more street fighter than hyper naked
@@pauliefromphilly 😋
A cheap gimbal will help with that instead of a holding the camera directly.
Wave to the biker! Since I started riding motorcycles on the road 46 years ago to acknowledge another biker from a commuter on his Cub50 to the tourer on his Wing was the done thing showing camaraderie for anything 2 wheels. If a bike was stopped at the side of the road it was the done thing to stop to see if he/she was ok. This is more and more disappearing. I have heard some say it's Harley riders, BM especially GS riders, Ducati riders, Power Rangers also get a mention. My personal experience is it's all of these. I don't know if it's youth, snobbery, arrogance, or whatever.
From those who do show camaraderie, I have noticed it isn't only a nod, the rise of a few fingers, or a mad wave but throwing a leg out Rossi style is increasing. I guess it's a gesture and appreciated but makes me smile.
It isn't only on the road camaraderie is disappearing but here on youtube where a channel has chosen a few others to criticise to the point of being aggressive with the aim of being destructive. What is happening?
All that said this is a great preview by yourself of what is a great bike and the roads being very similar to where I live, informative and entertaining chat as always. Thanks.
You’re right, it’s every type of rider
In my country /Czech republic/ we wave to eachothers.... but Harley riders.... they don´t wave cos they have that REAL BIKE you know. Wheels down and ride safe.
I well remember back in the 50s and 60s AA and RAC motorcyclists saluting every member on the road when they spotted your membership badge on your front grill
In Denmark, everybody waves including bikers on Harleys.
I road round the peek district route that was in MCN the week before this video came out, just about every biker ether waved or or gave us a nod. When I started riding over 46 years ago, no one ever waved.
We are blessed to have the peaks to ride around on our doorstep… agree with all the negatives and positives, after 2 trials still unsure I could live with the stiff suspension and other issues, I’ve adjusted it to comfort settings and still harsh. And do we really need a naked bike with 180bhp … I found my old 1050 smoother and a nicer ride in most respects. Love ❤️ your patience on the road, just enjoying the ride no matter the cars in front.
Hey Karl! Yea, sometimes I'm just happy to chill out and enjoy the ride! 😁
Excellent video Crocodile 🐊. Chock full of information and your subtle sense of humour and double entendres. Brilliant. Ride safe.
Great video as usual! Bought one myself in June, coming from a big bang R1, I didn't really have any complaints about the suspension! So far I've added a tail tidy and radiator guard, but the best purchase has been the Racefit exhaust. Unleashes the true sound!!
Got the Racefit myself and it turns a really good bike into something amazing 🚀 I love this thing.
What's outside did you get the ones I've seen so far I haven't really liked
Great review Kate, I’ve just booked myself a test ride on one these for next week and I can’t wait!
Let me know how you get on 💪💪💪
And thank you! 🥰
Well done. I have a 2019 Speed Triple S that I always keep in sport mode. It’s the previous 1050cc motor. I thinks it’s a great bike. It’s like the Tasmania devil that forgot to take its meds.
All I am is jealous. Those Street Trips are gorgeous and that RS is a beast. That orange color in 2023 is bad ass. Too much bike for me and the mean streets of Detroit but for those with wide open spaces…..Giddy Up!
Got mine 1st Sept and I absolutely love it. The struggle was the first 100 miles staying under 3500 revs 🤣🤣. Class video and I agree with the bad points but the are overshadowed by the good. Take it easy 😁👍🏍️
Your comparison to the Street Triple really sells it to me, along with it's exhaust note of course. Watching this in January is breaking my heart though..! God, I miss summer rides on country twisties 😭
Just watched took 2023 out and did a deal pick up this wk agree very good handling good power ace brakes and yes you're right it is the bike that wants you to go quick can't wait keep up the good work
Nice!!! Well. Enjoy it!! 😊
Great burger at the yonderman. After having a tuono factory I find 180bhp too much for the road. The bike rides you and takes alot of the enjoyment out of it. The race suspension doesn't like our rough pot holed roads either.
The suspension can be plushy when you set it up correctly. The factory settings are just to harsh for the road.
I kept lifting my head trying to see further down the road. Then I remembered I wasn't the one on the bike... LOL. Thanks again. Keeping me going until I get back home from NZ.
I have a street triple. I've ordered my speed triple 1200 rs and can't wait. You have the voice of an angel! Man I wish we talked like you. Haha
Nice vid Kate! You may have set a new world record for the most amount of time spent behind a Volvo while riding a sport bike. Testament to your chilled character
My friend loves his so much his son is buying one!! Love my speed triple 1050s. Soo much midrange power.
Neat review Kate! I want one.. cant really afford one yet. But sooo excited to be picking up my first bike for years in a few days, (the last few days are the hardest) my first Trumpy, one of the little Tridents. Can only get the restricted model here in New Zealand but it will still be awesome on our twisty coastal roads made for bikers..
Agree with you on the soundtrack of a triple. Once the soundtrack of the Street Triple got its hooks into me, I knew I had to get one. Not one ounce of regret.
had an '11 and had to sell it ... just picked up another !!! '15 flavor
favorite bike ever !! (and I've had a few)
Thanks Kate I came to much the same conclusions as you comparing it to my Streettriple RS. I ended up getting a Thruxton RS which can be lively if you want but also can do relaxed bimbling. I prefer the classic look and careful detailing on Thruxton too.
Thanks, Kate, for the review. Seriously considering this bike as a move up from my Ducati V2. Loved it ever since seeing it on MI-2 when Tom Cruise did the crazy stunts in Sydney Australia where I live. Was surprised to hear you say this bike was a handful, since I know you have ridden extreme superbikes such as the R1 and S1000RR.
Yea this bike is a wild animal, I LOVED it 😆
Loved the comments and giggles about the exhaust pop and burbles on over-run - reminded me of my 1050ST with the underseat exhaust! Great bikes always make you laugh and respect in equal measure - sounds like this one is a winner
It's so refreshing to see a lady motorbike vlogger! Nice work, great vid, love this triple
Thanks Ben! 😊
Excellent! Really enjoyed that. Big hearts in your eyes for that one, Kate. 5 days left of my isolation (covid + at the moment) so the vids are making it pass much more pleasurably. Keep up the great work. 👍👍👍
Ohhhh no!! How are you feeling? One benefit of not leaving the house I guess.... having to find fuel for your damn vehicles 🤣 I'm currently editing Scotland Day 2, hopefully something else for ya next week! 👍
@@UsernameKate Hi Kate, very many thanks for your kind message. Thankfully I had both vaccines some time ago (I work as a manager in the NHS) so symptoms have been mild, worst part is a bangin’ head for around 4 days, clearing a bit now though. Just a few days to compete the isolation then it’s back to work. Ahhh yes the petrol thing… society at its finest. 🤦♂️ look forward to the next instalment of your Scotland trip, I really do. Hopefully catch you out there at some point. Thanks again 🤜🤛
Get well🙌
@@bonta0240 Many thanks, yep well on the mend now. Much appreciated 🍻
G'day from an ex-pat Cornishman in Australia. We are navigating coming out of COVID lockdowns. Can't 'legally' ride more than 5kms from home, or with mates! It sucks big time. I own a few bikes including a 2011 675R-Ohlins suspension was as hard as f@#k and we have potholes here that would swallow a bloody semi-trailer (or lorry-as I used to say)! Once dialed in all good. This was a great review. So enjoy your banter and attitude in all your work. Guess what I am saying is you have, once again, taken the edge off a shitty day! For that 'I love you'! Platonic of course but I really appreciate what you do, Kate. Always look forward to the notifications that you have uploaded a new Vlog. Best to you and yours, Leigh
I had the choice, that bike or the '21 Tuono. In my opinion the Aprilia is a slightly better all round bike, so i bought one. Great video, thanks for sharing :)
Ridden it, loved it, bought it !!! still waiting to get my hands on it though
Worth the wait my friend, I bought in Jan, and had to wait til May... then the break-in miles are killer...so worth it though!
The first 100 miles with the 3500rpm limit were ridiculous. But after that….. so awesome.
Thanks Kate, I've ridden one of these couldn't stop laughing, so quick and manageable. The route you took is a favourite of mine over the Strines but you missed a treat at 5.05 in the vid you could have taken a left and gone up Holme Moss, that's a great ride you should try it, thanks again.
Has mine two weeks now and it’s amazing, the power is insane the only thing I hate is the wind on open Mways omg it’s brutal but I avoid the motorway at all costs !!
Hi just bought the street tripple 1050r what a 🏍 awesome 👌 the 1200 looks good sounds great 👍 hope to have some fun when the weather gets better 😀 stay safe
I think it needs a bit of a screen to help where your going to be with the power. Cruising at a progressive pace can be tiring when your flapping about.
Bought one as an all-rounder - I commute to work in all-weather, all year (unless there's snow or ice which is very rare here), and for enjoying on back roads and about a half-dozen very amateur track days per year. A hardcore 'full-tuck' bike like an S1000RR or whatnot would have been too compromising for getting to work and the occasional road trip, and a more sedate bike would have underwhelmed at the track or when I go out with my riding crew. I really think super-nakeds from most any manufacturer are the most well-rounded machines that can truly do everything.
So would you recommend this as a daily commute? I literally ride to work every day. I don’t do track work. Cheers
@@informedcarpet As just a commuter? Complete overkill - no. I ride with a fairly skilled crew on good roads and do a half-dozen track days per year - for those two reasons, I wanted a ride with the brakes, suspension, and engine to make it both fun and a good challenge. If you're just looking to get to work, buy the Street Triple instead.
@@danieloconnell4225 Sorry mate, I should have explained, I don’t have a car , I ride in all weather conditions. Is it a “ do all” or do I have better options. Cheers
@@informedcarpet if you ride in all weather and your commute isn’t short, perhaps consider a Tiger.
Hi Kate, I bought the black model here in Canada. It arrived late July. I love it!! Planning on driving it down to California next summer. Great review. The sound of the TS is amazing!!
Yay!! Glad you love it! That sounds like an amazing trip!
Brilliant review. I’ve got an MT10 and looking to swap it for either the speed triple or a Super Duke R, once I can get a test ride booked for each. Any chance
You’ll be doing a SDR review?
Had the bike, same color, loved it, sound, acceleration, addictive. Traded, but coming back soon, I think the orange one will do!! Enjoyed the RR/RS comparison videos as well. Thank you! Riding a Rally Pro 1200 as well, good on the back roads in sport mode, loads of fun! The new engine is loads of fun.
Jeff, the orange one looks INSANEEE
I had a new one as a loan bike a week ago, it goes yep, it stops yep, it sounded great yep, comfy yep. The quick shifter only worked between 1st and 2nd on the one I had, the engine mode selector is too close to the indicator switch. The anti stall is a complete pain when filtering, almost dangerous. Turning circle is large and compared to a KTM 790 it handles heavy, the KTM felt like a 250 on the way home. Suspension is firm but should be able to be sorted given the adjustment available. Would I buy one? Probably not.
I have one - it’s amazing takes a while to get used to it - there is nothing better for the value / brand (in my humble opinion)
Hi Kate, a great review and always love your non-stop commentary, and thanks for the beautiful and exhilarating ride!🌹💗🌹
Got a test ride booked for 20th February. Been watching various test reviews on this bike, can’t wait 🏍️
Agreed that side angle of the headlight are horrible. Its like they should pull the lights back closer to the forks.
Also not a fan of the dash prefer the dash before tft
Videos are always fun - used to live in Gtr Manchester once upon a time so always fun to see the place again.
Great video👍 I’m lucky enough to have those roads on my door step 😄 the Speed is to much bike for me , to intense 👍
Ace to see you out on some new roads Kate. The Speed Triple is a cracking bike, I wish they did an S version though, with softer suspension... but I think they have made quite the weapon with the RS
Agreed 100%. The speed was always known as a grunty street brawler, not a manic track weapon
@@rantANDrave1987 I loved the demo I had on the 1050 Speed Triple S, cracking road bike!
Good review Kate! Like you, the side profile of that bloody head light is just fugly! Honestly I just cannot stand it simply because of this! Maybe just punch it in hard…SEVERAL times!👊🏼😂 I love the 2 Triumph’s I own & I really think Triumph are really kicking some goals lately .👍🏼😎🇦🇺
Put the Triumph's screen then it looks like the former 1050 : problem solved
Great review - All hail Triumph's Speed Triples, particularly this iteration. Love them & want one really badly. I'll be getting my crayons out shortly to write a nice letter to Santa (Allocations Dept) as he's probably my best chance for the foreseeable...
kate was looking at one triumph1200 triple but for now just got the kaw z H2sc very nice and good fun and a bit fast lol took it to scotland this weekend ride free n safe take care davey
Well done Kate and welcome back. Love your videos .looks like a great bike and you really advertise it well..
Saturday evening, a cup of coffee AND a new vlog from Kate. What more could i need ? Well, nothing ... :)
Ikea meatballs? ;)
Excellent review Kate 👏🏻
And for all the reasons that you stated, is why I made the decision to get one of the very last 1050 S models. Surprised about the mirrors though; as I don’t have any issues with the S models, vibrating on the motorway. They’re crystal clear.
I was lucky enough to test ride one. Best quickshifter I’ve experienced. Nice and light, controlled wheelies in sport mode. For me though, I’ll stick with the character of my SDR.
Power wheelies or clutch ups? I just got mine so At the now that I've had it a couple days I'm getting a little more comfortable on the bike I want to start experimenting with the wheelies on it what would you say The Sweet spot is for clutch-ups as far as second gear or maybe third gear and and have you got any power wheelies up on this bike in third gear
@@californiapoontappa Just power wheelies as it was a test ride. Second gear fun changing up to 3rd.
In rain mode in town it’s much better , road mode is the best and yeah the brakes are amazing
Another great review, Its a contender for my next Bike.
I was considering the Gen 3 S1000R M-Sport but having never owned a Triumph and this latest 1200RS is now packing some decent BHP I am tempted.
P.S the Roads you rode on via the Strines are just 5 Mins from my House, Cracking riding Roads.
Great review Kate. A bike like this fits you like a glove. I went for a Triumph Bonneville Bobber as my very first bike (start of summer this year). With custom suspension (easier on the butt and back) and bespoke upholstery of the standard seat (more comfy, and more friction between the leather and my jeans).
12:05 BTW, glad that I'm not a bicycle rider (push bike rider). It only takes a random DUI or careless car driver ....
Beautiful roads, REALLY narrow and driving on the wrong side. I might make it a couple miles before doing an up close inspection of the gorgous countryside. Excellent vid!
Thank you!! 😄
Nice little tour of the peak district Kate , I watched Lamb chops ride that bike round a track , he loved it , he would though lol . Agree with you about those front lights , looks like an afterthought, snatchy throttle is the fuel injection and euro 5 restrictions ect I think . Give it a loud pipe and it would sound even better , love a triple , had a rocket once , loved the sound of that , good review, subscribed Cheers GB
I love the sound of a great bike, but the sound of you enjoying it is next level 💋
Another great honest review. I agree I am also not that keen on either headlights from the side and the tail tidy from any angle. Apart from that......what a beast of a bike
Love your reviews and I could listen to your voice and heavy accent for hours! I ride a 2020 Speed S and would love to try this bad boy! ❤️
Triumph HQ: "Let's make a ‘streetfighter’! Take the fairing off that T595 Daytona. That I'll do! But, err, the front looks a bit awkward, it's a bit odd. How do you mean? Well, from the side it looks like ET! Couldn't we stick a nice half-fairing on it, like the Aprilia Tuono? Nah! No one is gonna notice."
I totally agree with you about the looks of the triumph. The headlight from the front looks OK but from the side it looks wrong. Apart from that it seems like a great bike.
Once again great review Kate 👌
I hope Triumph capitalizes on this platform to produce a true all weather long distance Grand Touring model.
14:33
She : i am so sucker for sound track
Me : wroom wroom woooooo wooooo
Thanks for this test Kate I love this bike I will probably buy it next year :D one thing 9:36 stop the video. that's why I sincerely hate UK roads. A normal car has to almost drive into the bushes because road is too narrow... I know that this is not the main road, but very narrow roads in the UK are very common and it is very bad to drive a car on them. This was the main reason why I bought a motorcycle :D Cheers! waiting for more review
Thank you, your comments on this machines ride will be very useful. My thought is of comfort, how far do you think you could ride this in one stint. Ive been riding a Honda VF750C1 Magna, yes a cruser, but with a lot of get up and go. I'm not a lover of twin cylinder engines, ive always enjoyed the upper reving engines. I enjoy riding, I don't tour, but our roads in this part of Kent are awful. So looking for enjoyment of riding, and the odd 300ml trip, up country, would you consider this machine.?? Best regards from older rider Pete
Great work as usual. Still prefer the looks of the previous model with the underseat Arrow system. Diving into the Scotland trip now. 👌
I do like an underseat exhaust! Ahh nice, well I hope you enjoy it!
Hello from the United States.1995 Speed Triple owner here.
Hey Kate , how would you compared the BMW S1000R to the 1200rs?
Another crackin vlog. You say out loud what I feel when I’m riding a bike. Keep em coming and see you soon 👏👏👏
Thanks Stephen, glad you enjoyed it and your comments always mean alot! 👍
@@UsernameKate always a pleasure 😊😊
“Moist” ?!? 😂
The weight reduction and power increase is very impressive in this day and age where things tend to be bigger and heavier
Make me laugh you going on about reviewing the bike looked like to were out for an ice cream on a lazy Sunday afternoon ride 😩
Some great roads there. Hopefully get over before the weather goes to poop.
Nice review. I just passed my test in September and got a cbr600rr. One of my first rides was attempting to go to snake pass but it was closed because of a cycling event 😢 the road up to holmemoss summit is good though. Nice to see somebody local on CZcams 👍🏻
Oh no! That sucks! That would've been ace!
I have noticed your reviews aren’t just reviews. It is an adventure with Kate.
As a new subscriber I’m really enjoying your reviews and as an expat down under, the country side too!
There are so many good bikes now I’m struggling to decide what my next bike will be after a street triple 🤠
Hi Nick!!! Welcome aboard! And I knowww! Too much choice!
Excellent, I will give it a test ride once I pass my test 🥰
I wish Triumph would be a bit more creative/adventurous with their colours.Bike looks good anyway but could be so much more.Enjoyed your review.
Great review Kate, your enthusiasm for it shone through and hopefully you’ll get to use it on the track. I’ll stick with the tractor 😉 that thing would kill me
Cracking video. So humble too. Yondermans Cafe brill.
Great real world review. 13.00 mins. Yes why oh why do manufacturers think that default firm suspension is good. Road bikes are faster smoother, better with compliant suspension.
Nice to watch kate ,but I,m too old for that much fun so al stick with my AT. Great vlog though, always like 🤪✌
Wonderful Vid/Vlog! Is it a comfortable bike? I’m hoping it’s more comfy than the BMWS1000R. Thanks 😎
I find it pretty comfy to be honest! Bit I haven't ridden it crazy distances if I'm bring honest
It’s not your street Triple ! It’s mine lol😜😜
Totally agree with you ! I tested the 1200RS a few months ago it’s a Street triple with a rocket up it’s Bottom .
Handles fantastic ! I cannot believe it was £15,100 and now £15,500 gone up £400 notes in just a few months 🤷♂️
I’m sticking to the street triple best bike I have owned it’s awesome 🤩.
As for the Bakewell Tart lol
Try the Bakewell pudding from the old Bakewell shop there Gorgeous especially with custard 😊
Great review, Kate, really enjoyed your comments and the scenery too. The more I read, hear and see if this bike, the more I think the old model would be better for the road. What are your thoughts?
Glad you enjoyed it! I haven't personally ridden the 1050 before. I only have to go off the general comments from Motovloggers and people that own them who I know. Would be nice to ride an older one.
@@UsernameKate thanks, I rode a new 1050 in 2007, with Arrow cans, it was fabulous and fancy a 2012 rs or a 2016 94R model. They would be excellent road bikes and still had nice glossy Paint schemes. If I had a later model I would want a respray job as I'm not keen on the dull, Matt finishes. It would be great if you could get a loan and do a review.
Heavier, more top heavy and slower to turn in.
I'm a new subscriber, and absolutely enjoyed your honest review of the Speed triple RS, I love Triumph's especially naked bikes. Looking forward to your next review...
Annie from Oz 🇦🇺🏍💨✌😎
Thanks Annie!! Most appreciated 😊
@@UsernameKate you're welcome. 💯🏍💨
Hi Kate, tried this alongside the 765RS and the Tuono 660. I didn't love the speed due to the suspension and the rougher gear box. It also felt a tiny bit less nimble and you feel more like you're on it then in it. I'm looking forward to the RR semi-fared version coming out in January 2022. I will definitely test it but the price tag is huge.
Sold the Hayabusa and got the first generation Triumph Street Triple matte orange. Thats a FUN bike😄👍. What part of England is that from depending on your dialect when you said, "i just loooove it" ha ha ... 😄. Regards from Scandinavia.
Love your reviews & commentary, greetings from Australia
Really wish they kept a more accessible, street oriented S model in the speed lineup. As impressive as this new machine is, it’s still way too serious/track focused
Love the Triumph triple breed, all the family, it's a recipe that's turned out many beautiful bikes to ride and look at ;-) Definitely gotta get myself a test ride having seen your review, thank you ! BTW why do so many bikers not wave back. We need to name them, shame them and any biker who comes across them should slap 'em ;-D
just watched your video on the speed triple as i ride like you do none off the front wheels in the air
Great review, was out last week on the 1200, your right about the suspension, and getting neutral was a pain I had to from 2nd to first to get it. The engine is fantastic and it does feel like a street triple on steroids. But is it worth trading in the speed 1050 Rs in for the extra power 🤔 and the extra price tag, I’m not so sure.
I’ve got the 1200RS in my Garage and can tell you that the suspension works very good when fitted to the person riding the bike. The missing neutral is getting better after some hundred of miles.
I had some problems with driving in 30kmh zones but that smoothed out after 400 miles.
I have the speed 1200 rs after selling mu speed 1050 rs. The problem in the 1200 are not the suspensions, the problem are the metzeler, belive me. I change them when they finish for contirace attack 2 street by recomendation of a friend of mine and the bike is very very verter. Please try another tires, I can't believe a pair of tires could make such a big diferent. I don't know what else tires could work because is my first change. I love s21, supercorsa, TT, but I know metzeler if the road are a little break It,s a little bit unconfortable to ride.
@@pepedeespana3399 the S22 and Road 5 are also good alternatives.
@@axelotl86 thank you Axel, i LOVE s21, s22 would be better for sure so I Will try them
Suspension is fine, just needs setting up
Gold old strines pass/Mortimer road ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻 usually come other way towards home tbf, should of tried it when it was bumpier I named it the rollercoaster, defo a workout back then
Just what I was gonna say, man it was rough
I totally agree with the headlight it looks great from the front but the little neck like bit is horrid
Just a question about RS Triumph Speed 1200 - thinking of swapping my 2nd Street triple rs 765 for one offered a great deal at a Triumph dealer - whats your opinion ? Even though I love Street triple 765
I loved loved loved my street triple 765 RS when I had one. Would I pick the Speed over the Street? Yes.
Hi Kate,
maybe it is just the machine I would need. I still burn the wounds (in honor) inflicted on me by the GS 1250 and its riders , yesterday around lunchtime at the Passo della Futa. My katana begins to scream and give the best of itself when the straight is over (damn!). Besides, I was struggling, while he seemed to go for a walk ... he was certainly better than me, but I see that that bike gives them a big hand. Since you have tried the Katana and the Gsxs euro5, do you think this Triumph is better, in terms of torque at low revs?
thanks for your interesting videos.
Great commentary and real world review. Enjoyed the vid but might be worth using a decent handlebar mount as the camera movement got a bit dizzying towards the end (not meaning to offend, just humble opinion….).
Great video , I too have a 2019 765 RS and trading up this speed.
Hi Kate, great video and in my back yard. New to your channel and enjoying your content, look forward to the next one.
Glad you enjoyed it Paul, thank you for watching! 😊
Amazing, I would love to see you ride it on the motorway. Is this a good beginners bike with traction control and safety features?
I mean, I know beginners who have this bike. I started small and worked my way up the ccs and that was right for me but everyone is different 😄
