- ULTIMATE MOTORCYCLE RESTORATION
After a couple of years of restoration, Nugget has finally brought his 34-year-old 1990 Suzuki DR650 R Dakar back to his shed. Join Nugget as he meets up with Clubby and Dave to discuss the build process and what this project means to him. This bike is not staying in the shed collecting dust. Nugget will be heading out to Cameron Corner with Dave and Clubby on a 10-day motorcycle adventure later this year. Don’t miss out on the stories, insights, and passion behind this incredible restoration journey! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Nothing like a bunch of 40-50 year olds, absolutely geeking over a bike. Warms my heart.
40-50 year olds 😂
Yes. Nice to see.
@@RealHooksy, I was trying to be nice.
Oh, yeah 😊Nuggets ride is absolutely 💯 ❤
Actually its two 60 year olds and a 50!
This looks better than anything new on the market today
Agreed!
Love these old bikes from an era when quality and reliability mattered.😊 They even had the right look. Non of these new fancy toys that need to be serviced every other hour will ever compare to or survive as long as the 80s-90s DRs, XRs XLRs, TTs, XTs and KLRs. These old bikes have the right look, feel and sound. And one could fix everything in the outback. Todays toys a sensor goes bad and you are stranded. I would never put my money on a computer on 2wheels. Really love Nuggets entusiasm and feelings for these classic bikes. Looking forward for the upcoming adventures with Nugget on this bike.
Well said.
You 3 are an absolute riot 😂
Nugget needs a full movie with his ride across the States, I'm excited for that.
We definitely
Best news is Nugget is coming to America!
Yes, we are coming to America
That’s even better yet. You’re all coming. Me and about 10000 other guys are gonna want to ride with you 😅
@@reg26and some girls! 😉🤣
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV that is so exciting! We love all of you here in America! ✌️😎
@@lalamotolady OF COURSE!!
Cant wait to see Nugget riding that beauty, wearing his old and beat up chest protector and reflective T shirt lol, love it !
Yeah. Let's see how he goes.
2mins into the video and realizing I'm in for the content, sure, the personalities, for even more. But most for the delicious Australian English!
Guess I have to visit the continent one day just to hear it live and for a long trip...
Greetings from Switzerland
Yes, you need it full blast.

Congratulations for the great job on this restoration. A few years ago was fortunate to ride a DR650 just like this one and i enjoyed a lot apart the kick start.
Great bike.
Have a great ride gang. Look forward to a vid. Be safe
Thanks! Will do! Yeah looking forward to that ride.
Glad you're thinking of bringing it here to the USA, hope to bump into you out on the trail! Congrats!
We are. I'm considering bringing my 690 so he can tow it around.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV Yeah well, nothing against Suzukis, but hey, the more KTMs the merrier!
Sensational!! What a beauty!!
It is!
Nugget U R our Mad TV evergreen Hero🎉 cheers Brother! Love from Goa- India
That statement may go to his head.
Just like a new one with an exciting new paint scheme!
It is.
Wow! I Had one in California, looked exactly like that, it was DR650 S. Absolutely loved that bike.
Oh wow!
Great machine, love the vid. presently own a 1990 dr650, 1993 dr650 love them all!!!

This is epic!
Looking forward to riding with him to Cameron Corner.
Congratulation Nugget...a dream came true...😊
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful, had 2 them enjoy
Wonderful!
Beautiful!!!
Yep
I don't know why they stopped making these. 30 year old bike and better than anything you can buy today.
Agreed....apart from the kickstart.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV I like kick-starts! At least the option.
Love it, good darts!
They are.
yeah, Montesa King Scorpion for DD....Fun to see NUgget get this sorted...makes me wanna get crackin' on the Super Ten
Yessss! I had a friend with one of them. MONTESA!
Make it happen. Darcy with old Xr600, Clubby with old Tenere and Nugget with his Dr and go together one big Adventure.
Yeah, I could do that.
Hello Nugget, Congratulations on the rebuild so good to see you happy, it means so much to you and that is important. David....Adelaide....Triumph Scrambler 1200X
Thank you so much!
Lovely bike ✌🏻😊
Thanks
Sick!
Can't wait to see him ride it.
Clean bike!
Last time you'll see it like that.
Nugget that bike looks Fantastic. Congrats mate.
Im about to start rebuiling my '89 TT600...I hope it looks as good as your DR when its done 😊
Good luck.
Wow does it look smick. Soo nice.
It does!
Nugget is a bloody legend it’s a real shame he’s not coming to the ABR Festival in the UK later this month. 😢
Maybe next year
That's a good looking bike
It's stunning.
I was bidding on one about 5 months ago and forgot to bid at last few seconds , a nice dr650 dakar would look nice next to my xr650r,xr600r and my tt600r in the garage .. looks good, there was some genuine hand guards on ebay france a couple weeks ago that looked mint
That will do him.
Love it 🥰
Thank you! 🤗
Epic bike man, ill be waiting for you here in baja mexico for amazing riding! Cheers!

It was wasn't it. He loves this bike. Can't wait to ride with him.
Beautiful. There’s hope for my 85 XT 350.
Definitely!
Nugget when you come to the States I'd like to ride with you & Dakar Suzzy. I ride all over Michigan on a 1990 Yamaha XT. Here in Michigan we have over 4000 miles of ORV trails. 36,000 miles of dirt roads. We also have a little thing called the, CCCT. LET'S RIDE! Please leave those short short at home. 😮
HaHa we're coming
Just like Classic Restos.
It's excellent.
Would absolutely love to host nugget and Dave in western Wyoming, lots of beautiful country here to ride through

Jeezez, Nugget has turned sexy with that bike, what a restoration ..😁🤣
He has.
I hope I can see you guys here in the US !
Next year.
Wow!
Just wow.
I’m jealous af dr nugget
I am too.
Nice is this the bike nugget rode on the old outback adventure video red/white dr. I've always loved how he dose it all with no flash gear 🫡
No it wasn't. Nugget has a couple of these bikes.
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV lucky man
AWESOME! Totally AMAZING! I have a 2011 that I ride the 💩 out of. If I had that old jewel, I'd wet myself with excitement every time I slung a leg over it. The only downside- no electric start. But that's the beauty of "vintage." Great Bike!!! 🏁
Right on!
Nice 👍🏻
Thanks ✌️
Here’s me thinking this will be an excruciating video of a short legged man trying to start a long legged bike for 20 minutes!
Well done Nugget!
I did edit the video, or yes, you would have seen a short legged man try to start the effing thing for 20 mins :)
@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTVyou need to post it as a short vid
@@brucebird133 They are on insta and facebook.
He got his rack on the back, just needs the milk crate now!!
Yep. I'm waiting.
WOW! What a great resto job! 👍
Where’s oink gonna ride? That’s the one thing missing his perch.
I’m looking forward to the many adventures Nugget will continue to have with the Mighty DR.
Let us know when you hit the States!
First one is Cameron Corner.
Sweet bike I still have my 1991 dr250 there is a trick to the decomp but its hard to explain I just keep kicking it mid stroke decomp closes and fires right up one of the easiest bikes to kick over once you get used to it
I'll tell him.
Nugget if you are coming stateside and you want to go through the desert of Nevada we would be glad to put you up ! We’re in a little ghost town in northern Nevada right on us 95 we have a neat little bar and a work shop hit us up
Thanks so much.
Nugget on a diet? He looks thinner! Good job 👏!!
Really tight strong 1980s mx shirt he's wearing. :)
Well done mate i just got my dream bike a 1995 dr350se it beeds a full rebuild but its going to be worth it im only 5'6" short lol
Excellent.
Looks great but kick start would hard to tour with these days for me.
Never! :)
enjoy it Nuggois
He will.
Is this the same old dr that nuget crossed the Simpson on. ? Looking forward to this .
I always appreciate a nicley restored machine.
I have had modern bikes but my favourite is still my old yam ttr600. Gotta say simpicity is king for remote travel
No, that's a different one. He has three of them.
Hi Guys, Great vlog! Does Glenn restore DRs, as I have a 1993 beauty in need of an expert’s going over?
Yes he does, but he's in very high demand.
How’s Nugget in the Narrabeen Sharkies shorts hahaha, go son!
Dressed by MADTV warddrobe to enhance his ocker image :)
Nice mate, got me a T7 now thou I'll never sell my (DogRooter) DR650 :-)
Good on ya!
Never realized how steep the rear seat angle was on these things.
Yeah.
My poor old bush pig is _so_ jealous! 😂
Ha Ha!
I used to have 2 1992 dr650rs best bike
Great bike
please tell me there will be a full video series of the Nug's ride on this bike!
Yes
If you guys come through Denver we have a garage and spare bedroom.
@@Hammy56 Thank you
This was called the Jebel in Europe market 👍
OK
You have to take it to India, the Himalayas, you'd be a celebrity in Leh.
I don't know about that. It would certainly cause a stir.
Should get clubby to run an old Tenere out to the corner with nuggets DR, bit of an old school comparo!!
We tried to get him but he bailed :)
Australians are awesome
Thanks mate.
Nugg needs to start a fasion line
Agree
