about 3 years back i thought i'd sell my nd mx5 with 6000 klm on the clock. a big shot called greame or graham phoned and said he wanted to inspect. so about 3 hours later he and his lady friend arrived to look it over. he wasn't too keen as it was an auto but she had the money...lol so he was there just playing the side kick bigshot but really dressed more like a human sponge. so the woman went for a run with me and virtually spilt her life story. husband died a few months back no-one to help on the 5000 acre property and then the walking sponge offered to help her out in all areas....lol she said she never had the cash to buy the mx5 immediately but liked the car regardless. i said don't worry about the car what i'd be concerned about if your toyboy is just around to relieve you of some cash or if possible most of it. she actually agreed and said when the property sells she is calling it quits. he wants to move to the coast with me and buy a convertible as it would be nice to drive and really wants a manual at that. we were gone a good 30 minutes roughly as i asked her will we go back and she said keep driving as she could do with the rest....lol once back home he virtually demanded to know where we were or had been and why it took so long to do the test ride....lol overall a nice woman and probably my age too but im maybe a a$$ hole if excited but that sponge was definately a dead ------ and i told her -get rid of him as he is only chasing an opportunity to score big time $$$ never saw or heard from them again but the very next day a wholesaler rang me and bought for advertised price and sold it for $4000 more...lol actually told me he was a spotter and had some-one lined up no harm done i got back what i paid so every-one is entitled to a slice of the pie ...well all except that other sponge.no telling where he had his fingers.... met another graham/greame as a new bike salesman. he said to me are you sure you can afford it and we were only talking about a classic 500 - that sort of excited me so i said to him what type of car do you drive and he said and pointed out the window to a late model commodore so i replied don't worry about me mate i bet just my watch is worth more than that car of yours...lol which it was as any-one who know rolex knows the president day date version cost well over $10....lol

Perfect area to test out the bike, looking forward to future videos. Insect splat's are part of the hobby. Ride safe

Warro, glad to hear that Suzuki still coming at the upper end. I agree with you on the 23 Xmax, mine runs smooth as silk at all speeds and responds swiftly to all demands. Looking forward to the Hunter 350 content, and I’ll bet you are too. Regarding the channel, I like your style, real and honest feedback with a bit of dry humor and a touch of sarcasm beats flowery BS all day.

yeah i think your thoughts on how i run the channel are pretty well on target and should be good enough to give them an idea that im not here to take them for a ride and see what i can get but tell it how i see it and try not to make it too boring doing it. i was on the xmax scooter today doing a clip and must admit it was running great too. plus i fitted my touring seat with a bit of trouble and felt the bike ran better over bumps with just that mod alone. also noted too that blue i painted it a couple of weeks back really looks the part and pops too so i'm pretty happy there.

I have the v strom 250 which is a brilliant bike all things consided, but I do like my Enfields I have just bought a 1959 250 clipper which again is a brilliant bike in its own way ,cheers again for a cracking video 👀

at the moment its pretty safe as ive got a hunter coming next week i think. its a very cheap bike for the $$$$ and runs well. i actually pulled all hills on return run in 6th too. plus im still surprised how smooth the motor is vibe wise. its really not that far behinf the xmax scooter and they are super smooth to ride ...especially for the elderly...lol no issues seeing out the mirrors too. just the rear shocks a bit hard unlike the rider...lol

Puts a dampener on the fun after you drop a new bike that's for sure, unfortunate about the drop, however we move on, though it's not a bad bike to be honest for the price. it's funny cause right from the start you had the ordeal with the wrong color being sent out to you, now the drop, just wasn't meant to be. I recently bought the HONDA CB300R. It was delivered with scratches on the front fork caps, which they are replacing under warranty, so headaches come in all difference flavours. Keep up the videos Warro, I'm not much of a social butterfly, though if you do pass by Sydney airport area ( not sure why since the drivers here are insane ) remind me to buy you a few beers. I've got the 2023 CB300R and the 2022 FORZA 350. Looking to buy one more, but not sure what I want, so I watch your channel to peruse the assortments of bikes that go by your hands.

due to a diet ive dropped a few kgs-sort of had no choice butin your case it might run the bumps better. dont know a great deal about suspension side. either way its a great little bike to ride and hold 60 mph with ease and good on hills too. im still surprised how smooth it is to ride. not perfect there but not bad at all. i bet one could clock up some serous miles on one of these. i have a clip out shortly where i fitted a $35 wind delfector on it and it worked well

Re the screen; I did not like the buffeting from the screen on my NC750X so I replaced it with one from an NC750S. This does not give any buffeting and it finishes the front end off nicely.

handy to know. i had one of those ebay wind delector on and it worked ok for $35. they dont look crash hot but appear to work worked pretty good when i dropped the bike...lol but i never got deflected!

I can echo your Gearshift Frustration: I have a 2018 Baby Gixxer 250 here in the States. I misjudged where my foot was, and failed to get the kickstand dow. I dropped the Bike on its left side-VERY embarrassing, LOL! Dropping the Bike in my Church parking lot at a DEAD STOP(!) Bent the Gearshift Lever, the Shift Rod, and damaged the Ball type Joint that ties it to the shaft that runs through the Transmission. MY Bike was stuck in Fourth Gear, but I was able to get it home. Our local Dealer came by my house and picked it up. We got the Shift Lever away from the rod, so I can ride the Bike now-But Parts and Labor to Repair this issue-WHICH SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED-is costing me a little over $300.00 USD! I got on the Phone WITH Suzuki a few days ago, and gave them what I feel is a LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT in this aspect of their build quality. Otherwise, I like this little 250 very much....
