@anneakhil5331 yeah safe for engine though the materials seem to have eroded fast. Unsure if the quality of the metal is a factor. Had to get a replacement end can cause it developed a big hole. Sounds good and in good weather probably fine, but for all weather I would get something else next time

to deactivate the cruise control you need to overly decelerate the trottle, meaning, you can kinda go over zero. or just tap the brakes. for hillhold to activate you need to give the front brake a firm squeeze, to deactivate it, just accelerate, or again, give the front brake a firm squeeze.

@TommyBarnezTV6 ай бұрын
Depends. I've got some reviews of the street triple 765 on my channel and it's an awesome bike. Personally I think the street is well suited to shorter rides. Eg this ride I did in the video would be great on the street. However it was a long trip to get down to Spain from UK where I'm based so wanted something with some more power and things like cruise control. I went with the 2018 version of the speed as I love the look of the twin exhaust compared to the new speed 1200. There's good bargains second hand also, just need to be comfortable assessing a bike. I'd say ride them both and see which one fits. Both outstanding bikes.

A little tip for you, if you want to get used to the bike, while riding fast on demanding (fun) roads stick it in rain mode. Restricts the power to a 100 bhp. It’s a nice way to get up to speed and it’s plenty, but more control.
@TommyBarnezTV6 ай бұрын
Cheers, yeah I sometimes do that with bikes a bit. With the speedy it's the leaning over which just doesn't feel right for the last inch of the tyre. New tyres will change the bike quite a lot I think. Watching the vid back yesterday while I was editing footage made me think the street triple would have probably been more fun for those roads. The speedy is great, but with so much power you're not pushing the bike. Will try dropping to 100bhp to see how it goes.

There is just something about a long stroke, low rpm motor that produces its grunt right off of idle. Though it runs out soon enough, there is another gear. They don't have to be loud to sound good, not to my ears. I also appreciate the whirring of gears and the bit of clammer of the hardware as it goes on to meet its appointed rounds. I can appreciate the old school automotive technology. The Sportster is a bit of an odd bike. I don't know why it feels so small, but it does. It just feels physically small, smaller than it really is. Is it just the narrowness of it or is it the small gas tank that is so deceiving?
