Destry Abbotts new K5

I would be lying if I said I was entirely happy with this video.

Blah Blah Bash everyone complains about everything now but geee all that hype I was expecting a little more then a 4 minute video with a 2 minute intro and 2 minutes of some modern song that does not sound like a five hundy...

I liked the last 20 or so seconds of him going by the camera at full throttle.  I agree with IMS Roll, that song was entirely unnecessary and just bad.  He already had the best soundtrack known to man (the song of a KX 500); no need to add anything else.

I made it to 29 seconds and closed it....I'd rather listen to a 100yo man in excruciating pain, whilst pushing out a stubborn s**t...than that horrible music.

Whoa.....rough crowd.  I'll admit I was hoping the video would be a bit longer but I enjoyed it.  :-D

I think its awesome!!!
To get a big name like Destry to support our favorite bike and brand no matter in what way should never hear a grip!
  You dont see people standing in line to spend money making professional videos promoting our bikes for us.
I would give Destry a standing ovation!!!

Good point.  It's like looking at an underwear model and saying she could use a different haircut. It's a cool video and a great project.  Hopefully it will lead to a renewal of interest among the casual fans, and more investment and new products (or adaptations of existing products).

Carb vent lines and overflow tubing were at different lengths down at the swing arm and untidy...most disturbing!
