“In a car you're always in a compartment, and because you're used to it you don't realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You're a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame.
On a motorcycle the frame is gone. You're completely in contact with it all. You're in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming.”

Hello folks, welcome to my UA-cam channel, filmed here in Sydney Australia.
This channel is all about the bike. I want to put the motorcycle right at the centre of the video and really unpick what makes each of these machines special.
You know that moment before you set off on a ride, when everyone's standing around talking about their bikes? Well I want to take that concept and bring it to video. Just chatting about bikes, online.
To me, the bike is the fireplace. It's the place we meet, the place we share stories.

Cracker review on the Z900rs mate. Thanks for that n keep safe. 👍
Great video thanks for the info. More to include is any other direct comparisons to other similar bikes. You did that a bit but that info goes a long way to sky one watching dozens of videos virtually comparing bikes.
I have one over a year by now and I love it. Its such a simple fun bike.
Hey man, I'm considering getting a 2017 model. I see a lot about false neutrals. Is this correct and is it disturbing? And is there a big difference between the years of construction?
@@MichaelPlak It´s true and not true. People who haven't owned a Ducati before complain about this. You have to get used to the fact that the Ducati has a rougher gearbox and you have to shift harder there - just kick it in. I had a false neutral jump a couple of times, but it was more like my lax shifting. If this happens to you, the main thing is not to panic and simply shift the gear up (never shift down!!). The same goes for finding neutral. When bike is cold it needs a feel, but once the gearbox and clutch warm up it's ok. I don't think there is a difference between the years because the engine and transmission have remained the same. I have 2018
@@-Tejdog- Alright this will help me a lot. If i buy one I might get a gear indicator on it also. I feel like this will help a lot, because u can see in which gear ur in. This is going to be my first bike and that makes it a bit difficult. Would u recommend it for a completly new bike rider? I appreciate ur time btw
@@MichaelPlak I had that gear indicator on the bike when i bought it (it was already there) but I got rid of it. Its also my first "big" bike, but to be honest its useless i think. You know what gear you are in because of the RPM and speed and you get use to it very quickly. But that is my opinion. You can feel if the bike wants to gear up or gear down. The first gear is really only for starting at the intersection, because the bike has a lot of torque. Its better to ride at low speed on second gear and use clutch. But that is my opinion. And this bike hates low RPM, besicaly u dont want to go under 3000 then the bike is pretty jerky, but then its a two-cylinder from Ducati.. But man it has soul. Hope it helps.
@@-Tejdog- hmm alright! Thats very usefull information.I think I know what I am gonna do. Thankyou for youre time and knowledge :)
I'm thinking about selling all my bikes and picking up a dr650 as my only bike. And would likely get an extra wheel set. Curiosity, did he drop the shock setting when he fitted the 17-in front wheel?
We love ours
Sounds like a sowing machine 😂
i’m 58 and I’ve been driving since age 10 and I still don’t have a license but I live in Thailand and it’s just a fine every time if they catch you with no helmet no license and no papers. And we don’t have a speed limit. If you do have a license and you get caught too many times and you can be punished but if you don’t have a license then it’s just a fine. So I never got a license because, it’s safer
Vendí mi r6 por comprar una Harley y fue lo mejor que pude hacer.
What is the bike in the keft lane? OMG!!
The first minute of this video sounded more like a 60s porno
Loved that comment about almost watching the fuel gauge dropping but it's just where the fuel goes to the back of the tank - when you brake , the gauge goes up !.... I have a Streetbob which is reworked with a (again reworked) CVO topend taken out to 113" with ported heads, trued and welded crank, S&S640 cams and othe S&S stuff, a Mikuni HSR48, Ultima increased ratio rockers, Thuderheart ignition etc etc and when you are out on it the fun is only ever intrupted by the need to refuel ! I've done all the other stuff ( suspension, brakes etc) so my bike is very similar to an FXLRS but a bit moreso with well over 130 bhp and ftlbs and it's so much fun but at 64 years young I take things a bit easy most of the time, just picked up a Red Thunder 2 into 1 exhaust for £350....
Is this better than er6n
Everything is a good touring bike if you ride it to where you want to go. Beats walking.
That U-turn attempt would be an instant test failure.
How tall are you? How do you find your self on a bike(too big for it/just right)?
Fantastic video ❤❤❤❤
How much did you pay for it 😊
If you want to improve the front end handling - 20w oil and some preload.... 👌 As for the 'bars, there's 1/2" of adjustment as standard on the clip-ons so you can open open up a bit...
Riding around Pyrmony,Ultimo and Annandale.That servo (not the Shell) is on the corner of Booth & Johnston Streets. I couldn't work out the other areas?Maybe Roselands?
+1 for superbike school ✌️
Just purchased a Supersport with full akra exhaust..haven't picked itvup yet but thank you..your review has made me confident I have got the right bike for me...😊
hi, I have a Suzuki DR600 1990, which carburetor can fit, because I can't find the original one online .
At 6' 6" what do weigh?!
That carb is too rich at idle. That’s why it’s popping
Why drive around in 2nd and 3rd gear at slow speeds!
2018 and 2020 sx are the same look and came in black colour right ?,
What wheels are fitted to this one?
Those bikes were very uncomfortable after riding for an hour. It’s definitely not for people who have long legs or back pain issues.
This would be a nice touring bike if they put a fairing and saddle bags similar to the gsxs1000 gt. Slightly less but still plenty of power
nice review. i have two sportbikes (cbr1000rr & daytona with VIR nearby!) and a sports tourer (ninja1000 with saddlebags). don't ask why i cannot decide between the 950s and panigale bayless. if the ss had the more powerful engine, i would have no quandary... thanks for your opinion. apparently that torque provides plenty of giggle time thrust!
This vid is a good example of why I like your stuff, and why I like hearing your thoughts about all types of bikes. It seems like you just enjoy talking about riding and all the non-bike related aspects of it, rather than trying to cater to that infinitely moveable audience.
You sound like a slow rider who is way to tall lol 😂
Last year I rode across Australia Off Road from Byron to Steep Point, with the Great Australian Ride. By the time we got to Perth we have covered 8,500ks. Most of use were on DR650s. They are indestructible.
Regarding the basic things ,, that’s perfect ,, wanted an original old school look and feel on a bike
I think mirrors for you ain’t working cause ur taller. I’m 5’3 and there fine when im riding
Ive got one of these bikes, ninjas are the bomb you can hone your corner speeds and work on your road craft. I also have a Gsxer 750 and an 1198 id rather be on my ninja on the road its a blast and you can ring its nuts off
I bought mine a couple of months ago, and im totally smitten. Its my first sports bike, and its in Martini Racing colours...so damn sexy! Plus the Termi pipes sound like cannons as you bang up through the gears 😀 Great review, too!
Great review thanks.
For your first cruiser you shouldn’t ride the street 500😅
I’m going to my first track day October 6th the beginner class. I’m so scared bro 😢 haha. Very nervous. I’m on a cbr600rr not the greatest rider haha, hoping that the beginner day is in fact an actual beginner day.
I have watched a lot of MC videos, but never one with a GSX-S 750 where the person recording is not (involuntarily) grinning like a maniac;-)
This bike is the last of the UJM's its a 750 with a direct lineage to the 1969 Honda CB750. I own one, and I am NOT selling it or trading it in. It has the potential to be a true classic. its not a 900, 850, 800, three cylinder weirdo-vibrator or a thousand... It's a 7-fifty the only true superbike!!
How tall are you?
Find a road you can open that Bike up p all the way
Nice vidéo, but the music is so annoying
