    Test rode the bike recently. Noticeable vibes through the foot rests at certain points in the rev range. Possibly bad enough to make longer rides uncomfortable. Although at motorway cruise speed the bike was smooth. Like the electronics but not the screen and its slow graphics. Great on the road, not a fan of the t-plane tho.

    Ah, interesting. I ride a '21 gtpro so to me this new one felt smooth as anything! I don't mind a few vibes personally, I think it gives a bike character, though I'm fully aware that's not everyone's opinion! I did like the screen, but yes it is a tad slow at loading up!

    The Question is : Why are Police Officers Training Citizens on Riding Motorcycles ?!?! Don't we have Advanced Training organisations ? Sounds like a money spinner, they get paid for doing this & get paid to protect the public, when their actual Job is to be out in the public Domain protecting the population from crime ! What makes a police officer a more competent driver than the average person ? So why is this Training not made available to the general public. Something smells bad here & I believe it's all about Money 💰

  • @stephenkav
    @stephenkav26 күн бұрын

    The answers are: Because they are highly trained professional motorcycles and this is a safety initiative not a training course. Yes many, and people are encouraged to train with them. The police do not get paid extra for doing this. Police attend where operational need allows. They are usually traffic officers(not always) and road safety education is part of their role. Many months of advanced training over numerous courses makes them more competent than the average motorist(again, usually, not always) It's about safety, nobody is making a profit from this.

  • @ukveganbikers
    @ukveganbikers25 күн бұрын

    You are missing the point. The police do not make money on these courses, if anything, they probably make a loss. It is about education and encouraging safer riding, hopefully resulting in a few less statistics on the roads.

    Good review comparison except I wish they both had the waterproof inner main compartment like the R22. It would be great if Kriega merged the two best features of R22 and R25. I, agree with you that closing feature of R25 is far more user friendly for riders plus mentioning those optional extra little bags is a good mention too, as I have now decided to go for the R25 instead.

  • @ukveganbikers
    @ukveganbikersАй бұрын

    Fair comment. I still use my R25 most times I'm out riding so for me it was definitely the right choice! Even if they added one small waterproof inner compartment to it, that would be a huge improvement over the current model.
