Finally, I get to ride the Z1000!!!

At the time of this video recording, the Z1000 was the only hyper-naked motorcycle that I hadn't ridden yet.
But here it is, the Kawasaki Z1000 base model.

Unfortunately, unlike the hyper-naked bikes I've ridden on which was on the public street. This was only on the closed setting, at least I got to ride it and it crosses off my bucket list!

How does it feel to cone-dodge a massive 140 hp, 460 lbs. hyper-naked? Guess I'll find out here! Stay tuned!

#KawsakiZ1000 #BiteTest #MelLapidVids

What happens if you’re stuck in the middle? If a 400-500cc felt a bit too small, while an 800-900cc seems like a death wish. Many riders agree that the 650cc motorcycles are the goldilocks in the bike class. But you also dislike new tech?

One humble Indian motorcycle manufacturer with British roots went in a bang with an updated 650 Twins from Royal Enfield! This is the Interceptor 650, the standard of the two (the other is the sportier Continental).

While the 650cc class is a highly competitive segment, this Inter sets apart from its peers by offering simple and organic motoring. With an air-cooled twin-cylinder engine, the lack of modern touches like traction control, ride modes, and even a gear indicator!

Tailored to people who want a pure analog experience without the headache. Will this Inter woo me into this type of motorcycle?

NOTE: This is part 1 of 2 of the Royal Enfield Twins Taste Tests!

Since the new 2nd-generation KTM 200 Duke is already available in the US.
Let's check out what the previous generation felt like!
At the time of recording, the 200 Duke wasn't available in the US, so I think this would somewhat qualify as the new one.

This Duke serves as an entry point to Team Orange as it delivers an engaging naked bike experience! But this would also be my smallest KTM yet!

Like my Bite Test on the RC200, it's basically the same bike but with more comfortable ergos and fewer fairings.

Will this feel like a taller mini-moto? Let's find out!

This bike brings fear to me.

Since when I got my motorcycle endorsement, I quiver whenever I see this bike! This is the 2nd-generation Suzuki GSX-R 1300 Hayabusa, a bike that moto-trolls love to rave and abuse.

As a novice rider (back in 2018), I am very wary of riding this bike. But I conquered my fear at last! But are my assumptions wrong all along!?

I've been holding on to this raw video since 2018 for something special back in 2019, but since most of my content got lost or stolen. I guess might as well upload this.

Time to go slow and twisty this time!

If you dig through my library, the last time I featured the Street Rod 750 was all the way back from the 11th episode of this channel! That was a 'Taste Test' segment, in which I rode the Street Rod for more than 30 mins.

This time, let's slow things down, jump across the Pacific, and do some cone-dodging in Metro Manila! And this will be my 'Bite Test' of the Harley-Davidson Street Rod 750!

Ever since the last time I 'Taste Tested' the Street Rod, I am baffled by many smears and bashes in regards to this bike! Was it justified!? Or the competition made this bike a redundant choice?

At SEMA Show 2016? Check.
A Potato Cam? Check.

This is part 5 of my SEMA 2016 tour and I will give you my brief tour at the 2016 SEMA Show! This time, I will be showing you the first Vanderhall model under its brand, the Laguna. At first glance, you might think it is the Venice or Carmel. The Laguna was expensive back in 2016-2017!

After figuring out the kinks and obstacles using HitFilm4 Express & Handbrake, it’s a bit rough as you can see!

Welcome to ML Classics, here I upload some of my old videos from my old and now-defunct channel. These videos were taken WAY before I acquired my GoPros and access to iMovie. So let's head toward memory lane!

More SEMA 2016 content in the future.

Long time no see!!!
Hopefully, I'm back in the groove from here on. I may not upload often as I'm used to, but AM trying now! So here it goes!

There are many Dual Sport motorcycles out there! And it can be dizzying at first glance, but there are not many street-legal Off-Road biased bikes out there! This KLX300 might be another one on your list!

Like the road-biased KLX300 SM, they are mechanically similar with some slight alterations towards off-roading. The KLX300 may be the best alternative to the veteran DRZ400 & CRF250/300 Dual Sports!

What would separate this KLX from its rivals? Stay tuned!
