    Thoroughly enjoyed that. I expected a more horrible surface but I can imagine riding that on my Bullet. It would kill my wrists, shoulders and back but ….. Looking forward to part 2!

    Svarty's more than capable of tackling that terrain👍 Get yourself a set of 25-30mm bar risers to get those bars up higher for standing. Thro a decent set of adventure tyres on, and he's a fully fledged adv bike 👍👍 Also, there are racks and side plates available to attach luggage to him.

    I like the bike but can’t get over the handlebars, it should of had proper clipons like the R7, not those things that look like they were stolen off a passing jet ski.

    I’m with you 100%, I too am tired of bikes being marketed as sportsbikes but built to cater to everyone’s comfort. However, this seems to be the way things are going and I can’t fight it so I’m trying to be positive, however, you are right. Even the R7 is not a particularly sporty riding position…

  • @gk73man51
    @gk73man512 күн бұрын

    @@R1_Liz even clipons above the yoke would be better than the swan neck things it comes with, plus it would make it possible to modify. If you wanted to change the bars as it stands you’d need an aftermarket top yoke. As you say most bikes these days are trying to be neither fish nor fowl and I’m not sure I like it.

    If you won’t to be a better rider do your IAM Advanced course. Better than wheels and front stoppies and getting your knee down that’s not good riding it’s show boating. It won’t save your life.

    @R1_Liz2 күн бұрын

    Thanks for the subscribe! My insurance on my own bikes doesn’t include pillion cover so I am unlikely to be taking anyone on the back. I have carried pillions in the past and usually once you’re going you won’t even notice a good pillion is there, it’s being stationary that takes a bit of concentration and extra care, and increase your stopping distances. Try to start with someone small to get used to the weight moving around on the back.

    In the UK the rules are different. Maintenance is ok if you have a lift and certain tools. Currently at 78k km on my 2019 Ryker rally, on a solo roadtrip heading north. I would not have done this on two wheels solo. Arctic circle will be reached today. 66-33. Then Lofoten. After that, not sure.
