Great video! Have the same bike, the worst part about it in my opinion is the vibrations in low speeds (below 50km/h) and a bit short gears. Otherwise the bike is lovely, and is some of the best looking bikes out there!

Thank you, noway; what colour you got? Yeah I feel them too but they vibrations get overshadowed by the horrible position I’m in hahah! Agreed, still looks like a new bike even though it’s 13 years old

i have a 899, and im pretty sure there isn't much progress on the comfort front, in town, traffic it's pretty horrid. BUT, get it on a motorway and you can crunch through miles, 300 a day no sweat, bearing in mind you have to stop every hundred or so miles for fuel/food or a piss, or all 3, so short breaks make it doable

I always wondered if the 899 or 959 were more comfortable, guess that explains it! That's impressive on your end though, if I tried 300 miles on mine I think I would need a new body transplant 🤣

Obviously doesn't have tourer comfort but for a super sport I like the way one can put tension between knees and foot pegs by pressing knees into the tank. Good video

Good review. I get almost 200 km out of my tank (around 25-30 km on reserve) without barely trying to save fuel, so you might want to get your fueling settings and tank checked.

If you’re tall, you can really benefit from rear sets and HeliBars aftermarket clipons And a rear height adjuster That makes it much more bearable

That's good to know thank you, do you have links for these products please? Tried googling but I'm not sure I'm looking at the right thing. I've looked at maybe getting a higher seat but they're £200 minimum for a proper one

I have a Sargent seat which I really like, but a cheaper alternative would be checking with a local upholstery place, see what they can do for you.

Very subjective question🥸. In my opinion, a motorcycle gives you the thrill that a supercar would at a fraction of the price. Also, when it's nice and sunny out there's no better feeling than being on a bike through some country lanes or on the way to the beach. But, downsides are it's more dangerous than a car and a bike like this you couldn't use it to go to work (not very practical). Hope that helps!

Really sucks that this bike sucks for 90% of people riding. It being unreliable, un comfortable and drinking gas means why would you buy this for anything more than aesthetics

@@dejuanballard3367 I think I grew up looking at these bikes in magazines so for me it was more of a “that’s what I dreamt about when I was younger”. And when you’re excited and want something you tend to ignore the downsides. I agree though, I think for the most part I loved how the bike looked and it was in my budget. On the reliability, I’ve been fortunate she’s been good to me apart from ignition issues (she doesn’t turn on in the cold if it’s been a while)!
