Well, I’d never noticed the tits …

That being said I defy anyone not to want the new Bonneville Elvis edition. I'll admit to being a little cynical of their collaborations in the past but that looks class. Well worth the extra lolly.

Come on Dick, I love all the rants in your bike reviews. Your review convinced me to get an SV650 over a Z650RS. No other reviewers out there mentioned how uncomfortable the Z650RS vibration is.

Gorgeous noise. Chilled out motorcycle emotional perfection.

Damn good to see you back

I'm here for the tight dresses and large melons - when will you be displaying them? (welcome back btw)

I watched a few episodes in the beginning until I couldn't take their HACK workmanship and stupid drama any more.

The building is now a self-storage facility.

Refreshing!! Just subscribed. Finally real entertainment.

Never had a motorcycle. Never will. Never had a great sense of balance. However, I do greatly enjoy your videos and often watch them over and over again, particularly the trials and most of all the Longest Day Up videos. I do long distance classic car runs with my daughter and we video the adventures we have and post them on RUclips. Not for clicks, not for likes, not for comments but to share our experiences of what we witness in that sunset days of internal combustion as a record for future viewers to enjoy. The automotive world is changing, not necessarily for the better. Videos such as yours will always be appreciated for the content and the manner in which you use words to paint a picture of your experiences, make your journeys stand out from much of the dross that plagues RUclips. What you do may appeal to somewhat of a niche group but it is much appreciated for the effort and the quality of the work you put in both visually and into the script writing that encapsulates the loneliness of the open road in the middle of the night and and warm glow of satisfaction, reaching that next checkpoint. Good to have you back sir.

You were missed ...

I missed you. I've always thought your view on a motorbike was valuable information.

Dick, I always viewed you as a casual acquaintance. I never thought of you as some kind of RUclips guru. I really like the footage in this video. Make videos as you feel compelled.

welcome back, and about time.

In a world overpopulated with effluencers, we need more people like you providing intelligent, honest analysis and putting the joy of riding before tawdry commercialism. Welcome back.

👏🏽 bravo. Keep sharing the motorbike euphoria & zero-tolerance to the bs.

I did wonder where you were. Here you are. Welcome back!

Missed you man!

OK, I’ll join in and say I’d missed you 🥹. I wondered where you were and what doing.. I’ve been past Rhug, and up to the Ponderosa a few times lately and wondered idly if you’d be there. Been up there twice on the Innova special, which might make you laugh if you ever clap eyes on it. Anyway, glad to hear you’re not pushing up daisies and still in the hallowed land of the Welsh. You just keep doing what you do, I’ll still be here when you publish any videos.. Les in Chester

had mine a few months now. Looks good, easy to ride, and I love the bike. I think it is good for going on from a 125, or maybe going down from a bigger bike if you want a lighter bike. There is however something strange about the gearing. I am in top at about 45mph, and have to increase the revs significantly to stay on 60, which is where the vibration starts. It is like you go to change up and you then realize your in 6th gear already. It is good if your happy to stay at about 50mph. It is certainly not built for speed.

You came back pretty hard, Dick!

I had to watch this twice, I got sidetracked by the breasts.

I'm glad you're back. Nick

It's true, he does have both tight clothes and a fine pair of breasts. He just never shows them.

I do hope Fanny hasn't gone 100 days without Dick.

I'm in the market for a couple of new bikes and what should be an exciting fun process is actually frustrating and depressing for all of the reason you mention. Sad times.

Good to see you back! More Long Distance Trials please........ Jus' sayin'..... 😉

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏Well a jolly good honest rant....just upload when you feel like it sir ....atb

I realised last week there'd been no good honest whistling biker action for a good while so checked in to see if I'd missed notifications which obviously i hadn't so i assumed as a high flying man of international travel you were simply far too busy for this youtube malarkey atm which is fair enough. Good to hear your voice though, you have been missed, by some of us anyway so welcome back:)

Outstanding !

Last!!

First!

I hate the ToolBox. I struggle to get it open.

That color is simply the best of the entire series of this bike, and frankly all of the MiniMoto production.

I just bought a 2024 sv650 and I notice I am not getting hammered by much wind either. Do you think that plastic fairing between the tach and the headlight (with "Suzuki" printed on it) acts as, or is, a meter visor and pushes the wind up? Let me know.

The Street/Speed Twin 900 is my perfect modern retro BUT my brother bought one from new and had nothing but problems during its warranty period … which included a cracked piston pot. He was delighted the day he traded it in.

Vibrações nesse nível pode ser rodas desalinahdas ou desbalanceadas....nao é normal. Ou piloto é muito sensível.

I have just bought one after years of riding other bikes full of electronics and issues like Aprilia RS660, Husky 701, KTM 790 Duke etc.

7:51 Having not ridden a Niken I cannot comment from experience. This low speed "listing" characteristic, are you having to steer the vehicle like its a jetski? Like the opposite of countersteering?

1985 was the last time I rode a bike. I have been looking at a new bike for two years. Took the Z650RS out for a test ride fell in love with it immediately. In my test ride the only thing I struggled with were with roundabouts and the indicators. I had no trouble with the breaks or gearing even though its my first ride in 39 years. I took it up to 120 kiolmetres per hour. So I went straight back to the shop and brought it for my 72nd birthday. Only used to ride 400cc Hondas and purchased 3 in one year

Good to see that 650 deauville at the start line...

Hi Dick, Im Pussy

I'm late to this video..Sure there are short comings ..First and foremost are the OEM tires. If you were running OEM's at the time of this video then I see some of your complaints.This much I can say after owning the SC myself for 3 years, Get rid of the rubber ,get a booster plug, and De-cat you have totally different bike. Now sell the RE after that. You put scrambler pipes on an SC ? Sacrilege. Scrambler pipes on a modern retro cafe racer ..WTF were you thinking ...

I’m 5.7 feet tall. Will I be okay with the tracer 7 with that height ?

This was my first Bike , I bought it in 1980 I just turned 16. I paid 16 hundred and change out the door. It was a nice solid bike It topped out at about a 105 mph. A lot of fun a lot of beer and weed and parties.😊

no idea what u doing xD on that road tyres my dl act like motard xD u can trust it ...check tyre presure or smtin xD

My 2015 Versys 650 had a rubber mounted engine to get rid of the vibration from the 2014 and earlier version. Does anyone know if this is rubber mounted?

21:56 I loved playing on my Versys 650 in the twisties. Keep it at over a little over 6K and it was a rocket.

The GTS was damned by faint praise in various press reviews when it was launched. A common "observation" was that the steering felt numb or remote, but that came from testers whose experience with the bike numbered a few weeks, at the most. I have owned and ridden one for twenty plus years and have no such complaint. Maybe the GTS's front suspension's ability to filter out minor bumps and twitches is a virtue rather than a vice? Dick seemed particularly impressed by the ride quality, stability and turning ability, and even after twenty years those things still impress me, it has a hard to define feel that is all its own. There's nothing special about the front and rear shocks, especially after 30 years and 75k miles, so you have to attribute the unique ride quality to the RADD front end.

Having recently purchased a T100 watching this video really gets my blood circulating. I love this bike. I knew I would. I've lusted after one for more than 50 years.
