HEAD TO HEAD! Royal Enfield Interceptor VS BSA Goldstar! 650cc Super Middleweight Battle!
Today I go Head to Head with the Royal Enfield interceptor and the BSA Goldstar to find out which is the better bike and compare the way each bike feels to ride.
I discuss the way these motorbikes handle, the suspension, brakes, the engine characteristics and feel. The BSA in this video has had the baffles removed from the standard exhaust, and the Royal Enfield has had S&S Slip ons fitted which sound absolutely incredible!
Although these bikes have their similarities they also give two very different experiences, Do you prefer the Big Single or the Twin? I Absolutely love both of these motorcycles, they both put a smile on your face that's for sure!

Surprising Revelation! Royal Enfield Hunter 350 may be THE best First/City/Commuter Motorcycle Ever!
In todays Video I revisit the Royal Enfield Hntr 350, for a second review, and discuss why I think this is the perfect bike for commuting to work in the city or town, and the reasons why young people should get into biking and whether this motorbike could be the perfect first step into motorcycle riding.
As always, I show the sound of the bike while riding, without talking so you can hear exactly what the engine and exhaust sound like.
I'd like to know everyone's thoughts as to why younger people aren't getting into motorbikes, do you think it's the parents? lack of interest? lack of exposure to bikes in general?
if you want all the specs and details of how the bike rides you can check out my review of the hunter 350 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-86-eTZBGSk&feature=youtu.be

BSA Gold Star 650 Review. A New Modern Classic Motorcycle. Better than a Royal Enfield Interceptor?
I finally got my hands on the NEW BSA Gold Star 650cc Motorbike to review. In my review I go into detail on all the things you'll be thinking before considering buying one of these machines. So what is the bombshell? Is it any good or not? Hit or Miss? Watch all the way through to find out!
I talk about the Engine and how it stacks up to its rival the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 motorcycles. I speak about the Handling, stopping power, the way the bike makes you feel, and most importantly whether it's worth going and buying one of these new modern classic motorcycles with your own money. Could this be a Royal Enfield killer?
I also give my points of view as a 20 year old motorcyclist; it might not be what you and the motorcycle manufacturers would expect!
The BSA Goldstar model in this video is presented in Highland green. I must say this is probably my favourite of all the colours it comes in and it is the cheapest too, coming in at £6500, the other colours are an extra £300 at £6800.
I'd like to say a big thank you to Cooperb Motorcycles near Bozeat Northampton, they have a great range of stock; BSA, Royal Enfield, and other makes, and are extremely friendly and helpful, you can see their website here: https://www.cooperbmotorcycles.co.uk

Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650: First Look In The Metal!
We check out the new Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 at the NEC Motorcycle Live show 2022, this thing looks even better in the flesh than it does on the pictures. Let us know what you thought of it if you've been lucky enough to see one already!
Could this be the best mid sized cruiser out there? We think so. This is the bike Harley-Davidson should make - but they don't, so now it doesn't matter! Royal Enfield have nailed it! The new motorbike comes in 2 versions - the Super Meteor 650 and the Super Meteor 650 Touring.
Plus points and minus points - what we like and don't like so much.

Norton Commando 961. Pure art! Modern Classic/Retro Cafe Racer motorcycle! & Norton V4SV Power/Style
We look at the new Norton Commando 961 Cafe Racer Motorbike at the Motorcycle Live Show at the NEC 2022.
This is top quality! Beautiful, classic, stylish, amazing! The 961cc air/oil cooled engine is a pushrod parallel twin with dry sump lubrication, that gives you 76.8bhp at 7,250rpm and 81Nm at 6,300rpm, BUT... it's a work of art too! We can't wait to ride this bike. Also, we really hope they do an upright roadster version of it too; like the Royal Enfield Interceptor compared to the Continental GT. That could tempt The Ol' Man!
We also have a look at the stunning Norton V4SV Superbike. Not our kind of ride to be honest, but we can certainly see the appeal.
Let us know if you want to see us review the new Norton Commando 961!

NEW BSA Scrambler 650! The Best Looking Modern Scrambler Motorbike IN THE WORLD! And BSA Goldstar!
We visit the BSA Motorcycle stand at Motorcycle Live 2022 at the NEC in Birmingham UK, to have a look at the brand new BSA Scrambler 650 and the BSA Goldstar 650 Motorcycles!
The NEW BSA Scrambler 650 was revealed today and we LOVE it! No pointy plastics, proper right way up forks! A wrapped exhaust, 650cc, single cylinder thumper 4 stroke, stunning looks, cool as a cucumber! This gets our vote! There's a lot of scramblers to choose from from many manufacturers, but BSA have got it just right! Less is more! Rather than dump a catalogue of accessories and parts on it, they have kept it minimalistic and artistic!
We also look at the BSA Goldstar and try it out for size. It's also a great looking modern classic motorcycle and eventually...we will get to ride it and give you our full review in our usual top production quality!
It was great to meet many of our viewers and say hello too!

NEW Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Review, Could This Be Better Than the Meteor & Classic 350!?
Today I test ride and review the new 2022 Royal Enfield Hunter/HNTR 350 and tell you what it's really like to ride in the real world,
We look at the motorbike from all angles and discuss the engine, power & torque, handling, suspension, brakes, seating position, suitability for taller riders, whees & tyres, Engine/Exhaust sound, styling, colour scheme, instruments, modes, controls and more!
I compare this bike to its counter parts, the meteor and classic 350 and see how they are different to ride. Royal Enfield have also just announced the meteor 650 so stay tuned for that review when we can get our hands on it!
Which would you choose out of the three 350's?

Royal Enfield Classic 350 SIGNALS Special Edition. Pure, Simple, Classy, Minimalistic, Perfection!
We get our first look at the new Royal Enfield Classic 350 SIGNALS Special Edition Motorcycles and The Ol' Man LOVES it!
No modes! No TFT! No Electronic Nonsense! No Water Cooling! No Pointy Plastic Parts! YES! Thank You Royal Enfield! That just goes to show that it can be done; and beautifully so! Take heed; other manufacturers of bland, pointy plastic rubbish motorcycles!
We look at the two different colour options; Signals Desert & Signals Marsh - and oh boy are these motorbikes nice!
We discuss the styling, details, specs, features, engine power and torque, and more!
We think these motorbikes are going to be another winner for Royal Enfield - what do YOU think?
Would the Ol Man consider this for a second bike though? Watch to see.
Royal Enfield are also bringing out a range of accessories and clothing for this bike! Oh Yes!

Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 & Tourer. First Look! Is it a proper CRUISER motorcycle? All Specs!

Join this channel to get access to perks:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2E65t4gE62JGtaPXVtDM6A/join
We discuss the design, brakes, wheels, suspension, engine, gearbox, specs, engine power and torque, seat, versions, seats, screen, controls, switchgear, handlebars and levers, aesthetics, electronics (or lack of thereof e.g. modes and TFT screen etc), colours and more!
The new motorbike comes in 2 versions - the Super Meteor 650 and the Super Meteor 650 Touring. We look at both! It's not a ride review but the closest to a review we can do until we actually get to swing a leg over one and ride it!
Could this be the best mid sized cruiser out there? We think so. This is the bike Harley-Davidson should make - but they don't, so now it doesn't matter! Royal Enfield have nailed it!
Plus points and minus points - what we like and don't like so much.
The only info we didn't have at the time of making the video is the price, but Royal Enfield are always great value for money so no worries there!
Does this sway you away from the new and awaited BSA Goldstar 650?

The Biggest & Baddest Bonneville Modern Classic! Triumph Scrambler XE Goldline Review in Stunning HD
The Ol’ Man tests the 2022 Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE Bonneville Goldline Modern Classic Motorbike and gives the final verdict.
This beautiful Goldline special edition Bonneville motorcycle is a real head turner! The Ol' Man is even tempted but…
We look at the styling, engine, brakes, (forgot to mention the gears, which are perfect!), the suspension, seat, ride height, suitability for taller riders, the exhaust sound (which has an odd rattle), power, torque, usability, practicality, a few accessories, tyres and grip, on road and off-road, modes, tft, handlebars and steering, rideability, handling geometry and setup, petrol tank, fuel economy, build quality, price, and answer some subscribers questions, and eat some chips and a sausage.
This motorcycle review is beautifully filmed in some of the most stunning parts of Wales, near Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall (the tallest in the UK), which you can see in the background of some shots, and with professional audio to capture the true sound of the motorcycle, and of course professional camera equipment as always.
Meanwhile, Darcy has been on a top secret mission while this was being filmed, now he has recovered from Covid, and all will be revealed very soon!

17 Motorbikes in 1 Video! A mix of THE BEST Bikes weve ridden and WHY We Do It! An Enthusiasts Dream
In this film, we feature so many motorbikes! All the awesome bikes we've ridden! It's a great video for anyone considering getting into motorcycling or for anyone who is interested in motorbikes because it beautifully shows the joys of motorcycling in so many ways!
The Ol' Man talks about why we ride motorcycles and what is awesome about it. He also tells a bit of a story about his riding past on his first bike; the Honda ST70 and first 50cc the Yamaha DT50 MX, and his motocross days.
He also wears his cap backwards - get over it lol!
We show a whole range of different motorbikes in this video, with some great audio of riding; Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic, Royal Enfield Interceptor, Harley-Davidson CVO Limited, Triumph Street Twin EC1 Special Edition, Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114, Indian Springfield Dark Horse, Triumph Scrambler XC Goldline, Harley-Davidson Iron 883 with Grenades, KTM Super Duke, Triumph Speed Triple RS, Royal Enfield Continental GT, Harley-Davidson Softail Standard, Husqvarna 701LR Enduro, Triumph T100, Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114 and 107 with some loud slipons V&H Eliminator 300, BMW R 18 1800cc, and that's it I think! Tell us if we missed any!
This video talks about the advantages of riding motorcycles, such as fuel economy and lane filtering, as well as the great benefits to Mental Health and wellbeing.

The Future of Harley-Davidson? New Motorbikes, Flops, Old Bikes, My Vision, Environment, Electric
In this video the Ol' Man, a lifelong biker an Harley-Davidson fan, discusses his thoughts on which direction he thinks Harley-Davidson should be taking, and where he considers they have made mistakes recently.
We all know and love Harley-Davidson for the cruisers, baggers, touring bikes, old sportsters etc, but there have been a number of flops and failures in recent years, including the Street 750, FXDR 114, and the new Sportster S And Nightster aren't appealing to the traditional brand loyal customers either. Are these new Sportsters going to get new blood onboard? Or are they headed for the chop too? What do you think?
Thanks to @KaplanCycles for the screenshots I nicked! Check them out! They are one of the best motorbike channels on the planet! Harley-Davidson MX250 and Harley-Davidson Aermacchi 350 and Harley Monkey from the 1970's!
The Pan America is doing well but do Harley riders want revvy engines? We discuss all this in detail and offer our thoughts for the right direction Harley-Davidson should be heading.
The Livewire was a bit of a flop, but we think Harley got it wrong by introducing a 'Sports Bike' rather than an Electric Cruiser! Imagine a Street Bob Electric!
The Ol' Man certainly would like to see electric motorcycles with classic styling, and the future doesn't have to look like a plastic Transformer!
We also brush on the subject of carbon emissions and EU emissions regulations and how the government are only seeing part of the picture, ignoring the carbon footprint of production and resource extraction etc. Have a look at this great video on the subject from Ted Talks - The Contradiction of Battery Operated Vehicles - https://youtu.be/S1E8SQde5rk It may surprise you! Then consider the comparison against a motorcycle!
Harley are said to be manufacturing motorcycles in partnership with Hero, but is this going to be the motorbikes we really need or some cheap, ugly alternative?

First Motorbike! HELP The Missus Decide Which Bike! Honda Monkey or Dax 125? Should she even do it?
The Ol' Mans Ol' Lady (thats biker speak for wife or missus) is thinking the time has come to learn to ride and get her first motorbike! Should she even?
We want your thoughts on the subject!
She discusses her ideas and thoughts and likes the look of the Honda Monkey 125 2023 and the new Honda Dax 125. Are there other 125cc bikes she hasn't considered? Definitely not Adventure Bikes!
She is embarking on her bucket list, which includes an awesome viking inspired sleeve tattoo, shown in the video and tattooed by the incredible Ben Ormerod from Divine Ink, in Harlech, Wales https://www.facebook.com/people/Devine-Ink/100047713497027/
She also tells the story of her near death horse riding accident and her reasons for not getting on a motorbike before, and why she wasn't keen on being a pillion on the Harley-Davidson Heritage Classic.
She's got the helmet, the jacket, the boots, the gloves, but no motorbike!
She is sitting on The Ol' Mans BMW R 18 cruiser motorcycle in the video. Doesn't it look massive!
If you want to stay in Wales, we have a lovely self-catering holiday let which sleeps 4 https://theoldebarn.jimdosite.com which you can see in the video.
If you've just gone through the same process of getting your CBT (Compulsory Basic Training) in the UK, I guess its slightly different in the USA and elsewhere, let her know how you got on. Was it easy? Daunting? Difficult?

Motorbikes & Mental Health. A Stunning Cinematic Motivational Motorcycle Film with BMW R 18
This cinematic film has been made to help people suffering from mental health issues, and to give the motivation and impetus to make changes in your life. Bulling, abuse, stuck in a rut, lost, stressed, depressed, suicidal, searching for a way out, we hope that this video helps.
Of course, being a motorcycle review channel, we include motorbike content and you can enjoy a great ride with ‘The Ol’ Man’ on his BMW R 18 cruiser, and possibly THE BEST riding audio we have captured to date!
This film is emotional and digs deep, so be prepared, but it is very positive and by example, we hope that watching the Ol Man offers some motivation to all who are searching for it.
The film is very relevant to people from all walks of life and not just motorcycle enthusiasts. Please share as much as you can because if it helps just one person - it will be worth it.
The Ol' Man even gets bare, in his vest, and describes why he trains in the gym with weights to build his muscles as a bodybuilder, and looks like he does, with tattoos and a big beard. You can also see his rare breed Manx Loaghtan sheep, and 3 donkeys, Elvis, Ferrari & Bentley.
Motorcycle Riding footage filmed in the beautiful Welsh countryside.
We speak to our subscribers regularly and have been told, on many occasions, that our videos are good for a mental boost. This one takes it a step further and focuses on mental health aspects.
The Ol' Mans cousin took his own life a few years ago, and nobody suspected it. If only he had spoken to somebody; maybe things would be different. If you are in that position, please speak to someone; a doctor, a friend, a neighbour, a relative, someone in the gym, someone at school, just don't keep it to yourself.
In the video we visit the beautiful village of Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant which is a MUST GO to place if you are visiting the area. It has a couple of pubs, an hotel, Indian Restaurant, Fish & Chip Shop, Craft Shop selling all locally produced items, and a quaint village corner shop. Just like stepping back in time. It is also en-route to the popular Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall.
The Ol Man also stops off at an idillic country church and rests for a while. He is not religious, but enjoys visiting churches as a place of tranquility and architectural history.

Royal Enfield Himalayan Riding Nirvana. We ride this cult classic motorbike on and off road!
Experience the pure riding sound of this dual sport motorcycle, on and off road, at speed and plodding along, then judge for yourself, whether or not it has enough power to be fun to ride!
We ride this epic bike in the spectacular Welsh countryside and even show you what its like at a sustained 70 mph on the Motorway.
If you're considering buying this motorcycle, then you can get a very good impression from a riders eye view of what this bike is like to ride.
This is one of the most popular Royal Enfield motorbikes and rightly so.
Accelerating, decelerating, up hill and down, all roads and no roads, in rocky ground and ruts, get a feel for what this motorcycle is like with 'The Ol' Man' riding.

Honda CRF300L Review, Is this the BEST Dual Sport Motorcycle Money Can Buy!? Good For Green Laning?
In this video I ride the Honda CRF300l dual sport/enduro motorbike on and off road to see if this really is the best dual sport out there. I see how well it copes in and around town lane splitting, How it handles on the twisties out in the countryside, and also how well it copes with green lining down my local byway.
I discuss the suspension on this bike which as most of you will be aware is very soft but there are ways to combat that. overall I really enjoyed this bike so make sure you watch all the way through to see my verdict!

Royal Enfield Hunter 350 First Thoughts, Video & Photos! Is this The Bike to get Young People Riding
We take the first look at the new Royal Enfield Hunter 350 motorcycle!
The Ol' Man gives his opinions and asks YOU some pertinent questions about this new model from Royal Enfield.
We look at the styling, geometry, suitability, intended age group, ergonomics, some specs, seating, controls & switches, and discuss the new motorbike from all angles. We show you the official launch video and give our reaction live!
This bike is firmly marketed to the young urban scene but is that a problem? Because in the UK nobody younger than 50 rides because our gov don't want you to! (haha I know its a bit younger but you get the drift!).
We give you our personal thoughts on this brand new motorcycle launched on 10th August 2022, and look forward to the ride review in November 2022! We are on the VIP list my friends!
