nice qualty
Que coisa linda de se ver eter na collection ❤ a minha ja garantida parabéns amigo que terapia ❤
Lovely motorbike
Strongly considering this for my 1st bike, thank you for both reviews.
More interesting would have been how this bag can be attached, on motorcycles without appropriate device, since a large part of the bikes just does not have such things and it should be just a solution for sporty bikes
Show.
any links to the bag
Thanks for posting this, would have loved to hear your son's thoughts on the pillion comfort of your chosen motorcycle. Sounds like he didn't have a lot to compare it to at the time though.
Hi Jasen. I have always traveled solo on a motorbike and I do have an affinity for the Ducati brand. However, my son came along as a spur of the moment decision. He has, up until that point, never been on the back of a bike for an extended period of time, so to him the Multistrada was perfect. He loved the fact that he could lean back on the topbox, and to be honest, doing 300km-odd in a day will never be a problem for the passenger. Stop often, have a coffee break, look at the scenery and enjoy the trip! But if passenger comfort is paramount, the you cannot go wrong with bikes like the BMW RT or GS and even the Tiger 900. Hope this helps!
650 xt manuels say each cyclinder has 2 spark plugs but not like this. Each has just one.
Can i change this front tire??
What do you want to change?
@@GearUpVideoReviews I want a wider tire , the stock is 110 and I want it to change it to 180 like the rear tire
@@pvc3348 I honestly do not want to give out technical advise. I think it is best you speak to your local Zontes dealer.
Is it suitable for big riders?
All depends what you mean by big. This bike has enough grunt to lug a 100kg rider round with ease.
@@GearUpVideoReviews 6'2" or 190cm+...
@@vfdiesel333 am 6'1" so yes! Perfect!
Great review and appreciate the honesty and practical approach to traveling.
A good machine indeed ! Look, design and specifically the Bosch abs !!
I have been riding these Russian rigs here in the US since the mid-1980s when I bought a NEVAL 650cc with a sidecar. I have also owned a DNEPR MT-11 650cc with a sidecar which I bought in 1995 and rode for ten years. I now own a 2010 GU Ural with a sidecar. as a one-legged senior my 2010 was my retirement investment and I have been riding it since I bought it in 2020. in fact, my car hasn't moved since I bought this bike. I highly recommend these Urals to any senior with issues holding up a motorcycle at stops. these rigs are solid and have a basic three-wheeled "JEEP". warning don't buy one if you don't like talking to people everywhere you go. they have a phrase for it: UDF "Ural-Delay-Factor" and, it really happens. I wish I could share a picture of my ride "FURY" if you want more info from owners checkout Soviet Steeds Group on FaceBook
Everyone always refers to the Ducati Diavel when it comes to design but it also has a passing resemblance to the Benelli 502c.
You are right! We don't have Benelli motorcycles here in South Africa, so forgive me for not knowing about this! :)
Excellent review 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Where's the 250cc V Strom for the United States come on Suzuki get with it.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Please link me the exact code of this tail....
I see SW-Motech have updated the product now. sw-motech.com/en/products/luggage/tail+bags/PRO+tail+bags/4052572198070.htm
Beautiful motorcycle 😍I would like to buy it next year...I wonder how the failure rate and quality....
It is indeed a very pretty motorcycle. Here in South Africa, we have a company that uses the 125cc Zontes motorcycles as delivery vehicles. Some of their fleet have already clocked over 100 000 km. You can rest easy as far as reliability goes. The service intervals are fairly short and you have to keep spare batteries for the remote. Other than that, I can highly recommend this motorcycle.
@@GearUpVideoReviews Thanks for the answer. Zontes motorcycles are very competitive on the European market, and are bought more and more often because of the price and quality. Greetings from Polen 😎👍🏍
It is very bad that there is no central foot
With the low seat, center footrests would be very uncomfortable.
Beautiful places & riding. Would love to do that again! Thank you for sharing.
🔥
I've had my 125 U (Orange) now for 20 months just got 10,000 miles on it and I love it. I'm 6'3" and fit fine with no issues about the seat. The bike oozes quality the only thing I want to change is to fit a tail tidy as the wheel plate hanger makes for difficult chain maintenance and 8 would prefer to open the wheel up as it looks so damn good.
How is it now? Any problems with it so far? I've been thinking about buying the U1-155
Indians waiting for this machine
Could you do a review on the 350T Zontes
The 350 is not available in South Africa yet, but as soon as one lands, I will do it!
I'm from India 🇮🇳 Really it's looks Amazing sharp design ....
Waiting for the bike to launch in India !!
Dude.. 1.2k subs... this is one of the best videos about this bike... every review seems to think we already know what the KTM Duke is... ive seen them, but i know nothing.... I love the svartpilen... such a beautiful bike.
These chinese are copying Ducati lol 😂
Watching it from India. I want this bike. It looks amazing and purposeful.
Should be available in the next 6 to 12 months costing 4 to 4.5 lacs
@@seauryakumar hopefully but i found out that it is a chinese brand i am less interested in that.
@@prajjwalgovil4504 best just wait for the Himalayan 450 coming next year or save up and buy other big brands I personally am very interested in TRK502
@@seauryakumar benelli is also chinese
I'm 169 cm, will it fit me well?!
It looks like a Yamaha M -Slaz in exaggerated outfit.
nice
Great Reviews, are there any differences with the V Strom that is sold in Europe VS USA?
Not at all.
Thanks For the nice Video, i think the Rearbag is a Perfect for my News GS, greetings From LowerSaxony , Rainer
Top speed
Around the 120 km/h mark.
Fantastic review Sir. I got the same bag and as u said n advised it's perfect. Thank you for the guidance. Appreciate 🙏
Great video! Regards from Bolivia!
i enjoyed this
Where are you supposed to buy this one? It's not on Zontes website?
Griffin, my apologies. I jumped the gun on this one. This bike was the homologation model that landed in South Africa. If all went to plan, these bikes would have been in South Africa already. Sadly, long delays in shipping meant that the best Zontes in South Africa can give me is "First quarter 2022". To give you an idea of the global logistical issues, a container that was packed and paid for in November 2020 only landed October 2021. So just be patient.
Excellent review. 👍🏾
Couldn't agree more, gearing is a shame and you are absolutely right about the carb, you can hear it gurgle at highest revs but these are the compromises you make to keep the bike so cheap.. Would have been nice if they fixed the mirrors! Otherwise that updated model looks really mean! The thing I love most about my '18 150sf is that it looks like a proper bike and has just enough performance for my commute. Great bargain bike!
Lots of vibration in the image quality?
Yes, but that is the bike. The cameras do not have any image stabilization. Just remember, like I said in the video, these cameras are made to record events, not for recording a trip for your KZread channel. For that I would still use a GoPro.
@@GearUpVideoReviews If you load the new Firmware for the MT1 and go into the app you can enable Image stabilization, this works great on tar roads and occasional bumps, on dirt roads its still a but of a challenge as the image correction done by the processor cannot keep up, Maybe with the next MT2 this will be fixed as we have also requested the image stabilization be improved.
I recently acquired an s250, but I need to access the battery to charge it. There is a little button beside the ignition that suggests that this will release the seat to access the battery. But nothing happens. Can anyone tell what I am missing? It's one thing that the manual does not seem to cover - how to move the seat. Am I missing the obvious? Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure, but i'm considering buying this bike. Considering you posted this two months ago, I imagine you have the latest model. What are your thoughts compared to the model in this video?
Thanks boss
Awesome bike
