so, as some may know, I havent ridden my motorcycle in 6 months. A project that suffered set-back after set back (swap GSX-R suspension on a ABS equipped bike...AND keeping the ABS functional) and the fact that I left for uni mean my poor bike didnt get started for 6 months..

over the break I got a chance to test out my new phone , recording the first start up in 4K res! (yay) and my dad (and me) held the phone vertically (DAM IT)

oh well. listen to 648CCs of Japanese V-twin fire off in 4K glory

(silly me in the video)

How's the new forks working out? I haven't been on the Bonneville for a few months, myself...

I still haven't ridden it... I was only home for the winter break, and it was way to cold to ride...

that, and the bike STILL isnt finished.I need clip ons, brake pads, a new front tire (current one doesnt match the rear..and fronts are cheaper then rears) and POSSIBLY a new top-triple.

I just...really.REALLY wanted to hear it start up again.

it also has a scorpion carbon fiber can on it, so that MIGHT have something to do with it.


but yea, I love the noise.

Sounds nice, and it fired right up. Too bad you couldn't take it out for a spin.

I have one request. Have your cameraman orient the phone the correct way for video so I can see the whole bike instead of slices of it.

Don't get me wrong, it worked for what you were doing. I dig the look of your bike so I'd like to see the whole thing at once. My first bike was a GS500E so I evidently developed a fetish for naked Suzuki(s).
