"I'm not brilliant - but I'm pretty fuckin' good!" Best line ever

Great job on the video! I’ve got a ‘99 Funduro and these bikes are excellent! Keep em coming!👍

Absolutely hilarious... Brilliant video. Hope more people start discovering this channel

Being a rider of older bikes myself I've noticed quite a lot of bike snobbery (they won't talk to me) from riders of the top spec new stuff. Love the idea of this being practically as good as something newer, and without need for rider modes! Good work.

I know what you mean i have a cb500s which is 20 years old great little bike . Bollox to them mate at least you own it and not on hp .

Hi,i apreciate your videos and your bikes,i have a Honda st1100 and 2 Bmw f 650 and more bikes,thank you for description of all the things you done to the bikes!keep it that way!Regards from Romania (Europe)...

Great machine they are - that voltage regulator relocation from under the seat to somewhere into an airstream is essential - i cooked three of them before i twigged. If youve got one of these and it wont rev at all all of a sudden and its running rough as guts - thats what it will be. My machine responded beautifully to a gearing change - up a couple of teeth on the rear sprocket to get it to rev a bit more - different bike. As far as i know the front wheel on this model is 19 inch standard. I fitted a Hagon replacement rear shock when it became obvious the original was past its used by date - sweet. Cheers!

I had this bike as my first bike when I passed my test. I took the front mug guard off n put a dirt bike mud guard up under the head light area. It looked nuts.

Love the show. Regard from Ireland 😊

had one put the rectifier under the fairing put heaps off k/s on it great bike

Woow man! Dream build! 😍

..see that you have done a lot of work on your motorcycle.😎👍

I have a 2007 GS 650, great bikes, took mine from UK to the Balkans via France and Italy, no problems, fully loaded too.

a bit late - but that's EXACTLY the trip I'm planning this autumn - which is why I'm looking to learn

I also changed the sprockets. I wheelied once at the traffic lights pulling away from a old school triamph tiger.

I have the same bike , color and year!!! nice bike

awesome upgrades ! however the the fork gators sweat the chrome !

Nicely done. Only reservation I'd have is front tyre clearance? If you pick up a rock or get mud build up it could catapult the guard.

So that non running f650gs you mentioned - what kind of engine maintenance should be expected on one if those for 50k miles? Looking at picking one up for pretty cheap that need some work. Great 2 videos on the ST btw

Great vid, Lots of stuff crammed in, might have to watch it again! I'm finally sorting a Freebee I was given a few years back. Just gotta get the Spragg Clutch issue sorted first. But for the cost I got it for (Free!), I might go past My Tight-Ass habbits and just spend the $1200 on parts i was quoted (do you have any input/advice in that btw??). Nice 'collection' too. Shame u don't have anything I need...GPz600 & 900, z750 & 650, Sr500, CB450's, etc. Unless you have a spare standard f650 headlight??? Anyways, Have Fun n RSOT >:)

Take out the 5kOhm resistors of the ngk plugcaps. The iridiums are a resistor plug, so your adding resistance to the ignition circuit. (weaker spark)

I made the same mistake on my 150cc scooter tiny little sliver of spark till I corrected it.

The dual sport model is the F650

I'm not saying im brilliant offroad, but im pretty f*cking good 😂😂😂

Nice vid. Wish you show how you ride it off-road. I have no experience and own a '01 G650 GS with Dakar rims and some upgrades and I think it would do great in experience hands. As for me - the bike can do more than my skill so I had no problems whatsoever other than fear :D
