Nostalgic videos that I watched when I was little. This is the horror of my dream.

I'm 64 this year and I ride mine pretty slow off road so the suspension works just fine . You should have mentioned that the rear suspension is fully adjustable and that it has a marked dial in arms reach so you can adjust it while riding . You have to be doing pretty stupid things to bottom out the front shocks . Just slow your ass down and they will never bottom out even if you weigh over 200 lbs . Fast forward after 11 years and people have figured out these are great bikes and used ones are still between 5 and 7 thousand dollars depending on the miles . Trust me if you can find one for sale grab it fast . The engines are bullet proof and low maintenance . People are reporting over 150,000 miles with only one valve adjustment , so that's hard to beat . The dumb ass in the video didn't even mention that the gas tank is under the seat and low to the ground . This gets rid of the heavy top end like all the other bigger dual sport bikes . Because the weight of the rider and the gas is in the center controlling it on tight single trails through the mountains is a breeze and it handles a lot better than the lighter weight crf 300 l rally in the woods . If you are thinking about getting this bike good luck . Join the facebook sertao groups and check out what this bike can really do from owners . His guy in the video is not a owner or a very good rider . You can tell by the way he was trying to get around the rock at the very end .

What a nice surprise to see a video from my old moto acquaintance. Not sure you remember me, I was/am a fanboy from down in Washington. Cheers.

AWESOME

Oh man please take care. Looking forward to your recovery ❤

Watching this mad my day

Awsome show

Hope your recovery is going well.

It's been a while. Nice to see you are still creating cool stuff. Kat

I have the base model of this. With it being shorter and on more road oriented tires, man can this thing carve twisties. Having the gas tank under the seat was a great idea because it feels lighter than it is and more flick-able. Plus is only weighs 423 pounds wet, which most of the more modern adv bikes are stupid heavy. It also gets around 65mpg even when riding like a goon. Stops nice too with the brembos. I was between this and the KLR. Glad I went with this bike. My only complaints are that there is no 6th gear, it has some decent vibration at highway speeds (like any 650 single does), the stock pegs and seat kinda suck too.

thank you , Ive a 2009 g650gs , that I bought tore apart put back together painted , That I got past its quirkiness and that, took bait of learning , and watching a lot UA-cam , and forums , This bike just wants to go , is it the prettiest nope , but It likes the paint Job , and just gives. Gota love a thumper ,

A helpful review, thank you.

I've slowly migrated away from motorcycles to bicycling. Truth be told, while I miss the thrum of an engine between the legs, life is better bicycling at a slower pace.

Howdy my friend. It's been a while. Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery. Kat

Positive waves for a full recovery. I’m glad the cycling is helping and I look forward to seeing more of your small adventures.

I'm sorry to hear about the injury. Best wishes for recovery. I've enjoyed the content you've produced over the years.

Very very nice ! I hope you still ride !

WOuld love to find the whole video set on DVD.

Great video guys. This was a real eye opener! My buddy and I are heading up in July (2022).

wow i wish you were still making videos

This was a dream bike for me but I never bought one. They must not be too bad because they're expensive in the used market. I recently bought a BMW G310GS and I'm loving it. It's not a dirt bike, but at 60, I'm no longer a dirt rider. I've had small dual sport bikes since 1975 and I'm very happy to finally have a small ADV bike.

I was lucky riding the Dempster in 2018 it was dry all the way there and back rode up from kelowna, later that year road down to the tropic of cancer

Love the humor. Good review.

Now there's a road to Tuktoyaktuk.

This is the most disappointing bike review I've seen for a while, and the least accurate review of this bike.

You guys need to come back

This was such a great series. there was so much promise with the channel.

I travelled the road daily for five years, and never grew tired of the views. Summer or winter, they changed daily as the light shifted, and the weather changed. Thank you for this glimpse of heaven, again.

Wonderful place Mr. Good job

Hi onewheeldrive !! Nice trip and nice video. You can say me the name please of the song at 1:30 pleae :) .Many thanks V'ss from 990 Adventure

"pogo....on the shelves at Toys r' Us" Too funny!😂

OK Guys, I want to ride the Demster.....thing is I had crazy thoughts about finding more agressive tires for my Yamaha Royal Star Venture. I have been told that riding this highway on such a big heavy (800+ lbs, then add me 200, and gear) would be insane/impossible even if I found a suitable tire. The goal of the ride is not for but the challenge. I will look at other bike options (KLR 650?) but would love some feedback, if you ever read this. June 27, 2020. Awesome video - Cheers

I love mine. Why? It's light weight and the power is linear which for me is perfect for single trail. I don't like to be surprised as most of the time I ride alone. I'm not a pro rider like 99.9% of the users. I am experienced as I've been riding for 27 years now. I've had the big bore bikes like the 1200gs but this is one of my toys. Yes, I put the right mods on from Touratech and a Akrapovic exhaust. But wrenching is part of the fun for me. And like all good hobbies, if it has tits or an engine it will cost you a fortune. Are there other bikes that out perform it? I'm sure there are plenty. But I will never ride Dakar or anything remotely close to it. I'm able to pick it up all day long when I fall down without getting hurt. And if I want to go nuts I'll take my KTM two stroke (nobody can beat that). Use the bike when you want to cruise through the forest or back roads without putting yourself in danger. Don't under estimate the danger you can put yourself into and don't over estimate your own riding ability when it comes to adventure riding. It's not worth it and if you want adrenaline go to the track were there are paramedics and you have extra insurance. Stay safe and have fun. Eat, sleep, ride, repeat.

Hey man! Looking good! Do you still ride a motorcycle? Stumbled across the f800gs Test from 2009 and remembered seeing it back then. Still have the bike 😇

Excellent review! Very informative!

Glad you have a real gas can as opposed to one of those pieces of crap posing as one.

I've got a low miles 2006 F650GS and it could deffo do with a 6th gear on the Highway . It has the 19"/17" spoked wheels so is better suited to short asses like me . ( 5'8" ) The seat comfort is awful so I added a gel cushion and sheepskin on top . It is a fun bike up to about 70 mph /120kph on tighter A and B roads . With 20/80 off road tyres (Mitas E 09s ) it copes ok with mud and gravel but these are way to vibey for the tarmac . I'm changing to Mitas MC24 TRAIL INVADER's as I do much more road . Fuel consumption is excellent , covering an average of 72 + Mpg or 3.92 L / 100 Km regardless of speed . It will sit at 80mph on the Motorway but that's not a particularly nice place to be due to the poor wind protection and lack of the 6th gear . Generally a good B road twisty bike .This bike wasn't built for Giants like you M8 ,that's more your skyscraper KTMs , Africa Twin and 1200 GS territory . Nice video and Fabulous scenery , thanks for taking the time .

Well there you are my old moto friend... Even after I paid the ransom I didn't think the kidnappers would return you to my UA-cam feed. Nice to hear from you again. Cheers!

The hardest clutch on earth 🤪

Good job you two...and the Ducati Tek.

Great bike for the money

Had not viewed this in a couple of years but as enjoyable as when I first watched. The best written piece of moto-journalism every posted on the Internet, imho. Great job Neil. Makes me very much want to do it again, all the way to Inuvik... <only got to Circle, in 2016>

Definitely not for a big dude - but I’m happy with it super fun. I took a Sertao On trails 95% of you couldn’t ride. This bike won’t likely be in the Dakar - but it’ll give a KLR a run for the money.

I am sure everyone watching this video is into Adventure bikes why did you not tell us the comparison which you like best that's what everyone was hoping to catch

I'm just back from Tuk last month on my motorcycle & this video series popped up on my feed. Much appreciating to see how those gas stops and stay places have evolved in 9 years. Dempster remains the same though - mosquitos, gravel, random rains through magnificent landscape. A little more people these days. & The new road (still full gravel) from inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk. Guess you folks took a plane back then ?

Felicitaciones , un viaje con mucha austeridad, por eso nuevamente felicitaciones

9 years old and still by far the best video about motorcycle trip on Dempster!
