It’s finally here! Welcome to Budget Bike Battle BRATISLAVA.
This one has been somewhat tricky to even be allowed to upload onto YouTube, those fine gents who attended the cinema will know why.. it’s Boothy’s stag do so we had to send him off in style.
Regardless, this is one of the best things we have done and we really hope you enjoy!!

I said we’re in uh Rotterdam just off the pride of Rotterdam from H and what Pride it was anyway uh like I said welcome to budget b battle 7 this is a mammoth exercise the plan is we’re going on booy stago so we’re starting off here in Rotterdam going to

Amsterdam and then we’re going to wind our way through Europe Prague Bratislava all the stago cities of Europe Bally stag capitals but there is one crucial element which is we need to pick the girls up in Amsterdam we do we needed on our vehicles Pon capacity we needed

Touring ability it’s going to be an absolute test of endurance of the mind of the body and of the machine yeah so um and you gut because stago every night for seven nights is I mean not only the bikes this is going to be a test of our

Endurance for mental health and a lot of other things yeah well we started fairly heavily last night on a boat didn’t we should we show them what we got let’s do it okay Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the winner of budget boy battle 7 this is a Honda Pacific Coast 800 as a name suggested it’s an 800cc twin from America it’s an American Import and again as the name suggests it’s for cruising down the Pacific coast in America I bought it for

£ 2,250 from a guy called Jeff from Bristol and this is a future classic all the other guys have put faux stuff on to try the jasm up lights horns Etc you don’t need this this this is what you need I mean this was a bike designed by

The R&D team in America and specifically designed for those white color gentlemen with Honda Civics that was what they’re targeting I guess to bring bikes uh bring car drivers into the bike Market it’s got Arrow I mean look at it the wings the brake Ducks it looks very much

Like a an m1000 RR from from today so like I said this is a future classic £2,250 it’s got the best feature in existence and uh I’m looking to whoop ass all right mate all right mate how you doing yeah radical welcome to my championship winning Steed this is a

2014 BMW R1200 RT but this particular one is an X police bike it’s probably the most boring bike in existence though isn’t it m that’s so Unforgettable I I I don’t even know I can’t even remember what it is it’s a beige modern classic mate I mean Vicky Holland did say it was

The most disgusting bike she’d ever seen so this was only £2,000 Dirt Cheap trade in fair enough it only came with one key no history no other information it’s got a slight oil leak from that cylinder head but we won’t go into that and it’s an absolute

Bargain of a of a machine BMW is the epitome of touring we need to go touring we need to go a long distance this is actually pretty quick as well it’s definitely a down site quicker than that and it’s super comfortable it’s got hang on electric windows she got an electric window yeah

Has it yeah yeah that’s not electric though is it if you go and make the right noises yeah anything’s electric what I’ve also done is I’ve gone for the um the complete [ __ ] look I like to call it to give myself I suppose a slight disadvantage and I’ve chosen probably

The most hated motorcycle it’s not the most boring and it’s actually very capable bike but it probably is admittedly the most hated motorcycle by other motorcyclists and especially when people wear vests like and especially when people wear polite vests like this so I’ve gone all in I’ve gone all in

Soak it in but this is it’s booy stag do let’s have a laugh and it’s going to be challenging and this girl is an excellent bike to uh to to to take on the competition so I mean you haven’t got a seat I have what’s that it looks

Like a chopped up go-kart seat Well is a chop up go-kart see right brilliant it has got a calibrated speedometer oh that’s fine then yeah yeah and I put these little sirens On Hello boys kawazaki Voyager 12 1200cc in line 4 the reason I bought this well few reasons I bought this first of all it was cheap and I think it was cheap because a it was in the middle of nowhere and B it’s done nearly 990,000

Mil 90 yeah yeah it’s uh but this is this is the type of bike that’s designed to do loads of miles is it so I’m not too worried about it and I got the right idea it’s gone Japanese if you want reliability Go Japanese it’s got a seat

And it’s got a fantastic seat for the pon the probably the most comfortable well I mean yeah it’s yeah I’ve got a uh a sheep skin in the van actually have you yeah I think you’re going to need it on there it it was it was in the middle

Of nowhere how much was it it was, 1500 quid oh that is cheap it was, 1500 quid so to me how much was that 2,250 2,250 quids for that yeah you got absolutely done this is unique it’s absolutely unique yeah it’s one of the worst bikes I’ve ever seen well no that

Is the worst bike that is without doubt what’s the fuel tank on that it looks tiny anyway it is Tiny and we’re going to have we’re going to struggle it of course we’re going to do thousands of miles and my bike only does 100 miles to

A tank so 100 miles yeah we’re going to but you know I like to stop sit down have a chat have a drink we’re not on a rush boys we’re all day we’re on a stag D I hate to break it to you we’ve got

Like 1500 miles to do yeah in s days yeah that’s that’s why I put some lights on mine cuz the way you P [ __ ] around it’s kind of like a [ __ ] Gold Wing yeah it’s a poor man’s Gold Wing I like to think of as a as a a better Gold Wing they’ve

Taken what go theyve taking what Honda done and just just made it a little bit just a bit different everyone’s [ __ ] everyone’s got everyone’s had a Gold Wing aren’t they gold boring kawazaki Voyer someone actually said to me this is a this is a [ __ ] pan European I’m

Like I I took great offense to that because you should have bought a pan European no they that’s worse no it’s not worse than RT the second most boring most hated bike is the pan European after this after you when you’re filling up five times a day and you can only go

About 70 on the motorway it’s actually I mean I think I think it’ll be pleasantly surprised by its Pace I hope so yeah I don’t know how fast man is cuz the speedo doesn’t work I’ve got I’ve got a calibrated speedo on mine um police calibration I want you look at the state

Here and I’ve also uh gone for the police man’s Tash should we go and get the girls then yeah let’s go and get the girls let’s do some Miles after docking in Rotterdam this morning the plan is to ride from here to Amsterdam and get on the beers after night one head across Germany stop somewhere halfway then on into the Czech Republic and Prague for more beers and laps around the Bruno GP circuit before hopefully reaching our final destination

And messy climax in Bratislava Slovakia and we’re off I’ll just adjust my uh electric wind screen there oh bit chilly oh that’s better get the noise out the way as you can tell I’ve got a custom exhaust on this um the more I get to ride this bike

The more I’m thinking that actually maybe it’s not custom it’s just got a hole in it I don’t know it’s definitely got hole in it and I think the guy that upsold you and got you to spend 2 and a half Grand on it was uh having you on mate it’s not 2

And a half Grand mate it’s 2,250 Quid how much was yours Chris 2,000 which actually by the way was the budget for this I don’t know why you thought it was 22,000 2,000 it’s £25,000 I’ve got it in writing it was £25,000 and then we lowered it to two oh

Conveniently yeah yeah I mean it changed that many times I can’t really remember what the budget was I I just in my head I just wanted to get the cheapest thing I could find which is why I went for this at £1,500 and it that is pretty good right

We’re going right here I think I would suggest that um this in Far off, 1500 quid in scrap value it’s that [ __ ] heavy but yeah boys I’ve been I’ve been looking forward to it I know I say it every time but I’m genuinely looking forward to this budget b battle probably

The most this is going to be we got Comfort we’re not stressing there’s no real deadlines uh and we’re going to have a bloody good time we’re on holiday yay I’m still in that sort of period of time on this bike where you know you know when you you first get something a

Bit [ __ ] and you’ve not done many miles on it and you’re always worried that some’s going to fall off or the engine’s going to break or the clutch is going to start slipping or someone’s going to come loose cuz I’ve not really done anywhere near enough miles on it I know

You guys have driven Road up to Hole didn’t you so I think I think if you if you suppose yours isn’t about to fall to bits is it Chris cuz it’s like nearly brand new but um well it’s all about the budget that’s why it’s the budget by battle you buy

The you buy the best bike that you can afford and this is the best bike saying that in my ride to Hull yesterday uh this bike has been performing flawlessly but the rear brake has decided to have a little bit of a um not working issue so

I don’t know what’s going on there I’ll have to look at it and it I it might be I hope hope it’s not a linked ABS thing which these suffer with um because I don’t want any fluid to be pouring out the back of it because I

Don’t want to lose the front brake that’s what I’m more scared of um but at the moment let me just do a bit of a yeah brakes actually feel good I put some new pads in the front I didn’t bother with the back didn’t think I

Needed it yeah I’ve done about 500 miles on this thing now and um yeah I’m fully confident absolutely fully loving it didn’t it have a um a little bit of a uh stutter yesterday yeah we had a little stutter you know that’s to be expected a few teething problems so yesterday it

Was actually a really already quite a brutal test we had to ride both Al and I sort of down south and we had to come all the way up to Hull to get the ferry and it was absolutely shockingly wet like it was just really nasty weather

When it was horrible a long old way a good 250 Mi I think it was for me and uh uh I’ve got to say I’m so happy we’re on this character type of bike because the rain the wind these These are brilliant for just belting it along the motorway

Really good well I’m uh I’m loving this to be honest it’s it’s probably one of the most comfortable bikes I’ve ever written the seat is so soft and um yeah I I I I don’t know how much I’d en be enjoying myself if we were on like a

Roads like twisting around tight Corners cuz the bres do work but they’re just think when you’ve got so much weight I’m having to learn to use both the the rear and the front brake at the same time because the the the norm normally you stamp on the rear brake and it just

Locks the back wheel up doesn’t it but on on this cuz there’s that much weight it does actually slow the thing down which is Handy cuz the front brake doesn’t right uh in traditional budget by battle style um we were late getting out and sorting sh out so we’re actually

Going to go to McDonald’s for a uh a classic dutch meal uh so yeah we’re going to go and get um a bit of sustenance so uh it’s beautiful here isn’t It [ __ ] L hands up you got two legs well I’ve got I’ve got three legs I’ve got two you well you got got spare one yeah Yeah I I can’t find the [ __ ] key but the the ignition’s on let’s that oh [ __ ] off oh [ __ ] off but how come the it’s on but the key isn’t in it I’ve have no [ __ ] idea how you going to turn it off oh [ __ ] man you’re going to have to go

Through the [ __ ] garbage you’ve thrown it away I reckon oh for [ __ ] sake oh oh you found it in your pocket [ __ ] Thum start so you can take the [ __ ] key out with the ignition on that’s [ __ ] weird isn’t it that’s [ __ ] but it’s it’s actually

Handy so it means you can get in there and stuff but I’ve never known I don’t know if that’s supposed to do that no no I’m pretty sure it’s not I’m pretty sure it’s not supposed to do it right second gear yeah go you beauty well that’s something to

Remember don’t leave the uh don’t leave the ignition on while you go for McDonald’s oh [ __ ] I’m on the wrong side of the road [ __ ] hell sorry what a [ __ ] that’s my exercise for the day woo I have to roll my windows down I can only just do this zip up after that

McDonald’s someone smells quite pet I don’t know who it is it’s probably you booy actually yeah I can smell petrol actually [ __ ] it’s not this the fuel gauge is going down quite fast oh God I don’t know if I’m [ __ ] leaking petrol you know are you are you dripping

I don’t know the [ __ ] fuel gauge is gone down really quickly oh dear how many miles have you done since you bought it uh like roughly well the miles we did at at yours when we shot that video so maybe like 10 10 10 miles down there and

Then another 10 miles when I Rod it to the ber terminal and that’s it that’s it and it had a full tank when you bought it remember say it definitely did cuz you said oh it’s even got a full tank oh [ __ ] really really yeah absolutely

Brimmed it was oh for [ __ ] sake well there wasn’t a puddle of fuel underneath it there was there no I’m hoping it’s a Dicky fuel gauge well we’ll find out now will we ah yeah Al when you follow Chris with that vest on is it is it filling

You with the same sort of anxiety that it’s filling me with you know when you see copper and you just kind of you just your inside just freeze up a little bit and you stiffen up cuz you’re like oh [ __ ] [ __ ] I can’t I can’t sh I can’t

Shake that anxiety it’s horrible I hate it oh that’s better [ __ ] hell flashing lights behind me I don’t I don’t know what’s worse that been followed by a police car are looking at the [ __ ] beest motorcycle ever created that thing I was riding is it it’s so [ __ ] beige of even PID

Painted it beige [ __ ] hell they coming to the dam of the hster Hamsterdam I’m not a big fan of mushrooms normally I would never have mushrooms on a pizza I wouldn’t have mushrooms with my English breakfast but you know you know to try try everything once

And in the spirit of a trip to Amsterdam um it would seem a shame not to um partake in the color uh culinary Delights I’m no I’m going to smoke a Dobie I’m going to skin up um and puff on a um a Douglas I don’t like

Any of that [ __ ] skunk [ __ ] I just want the normal old stalky seedy Boomer Speck yeah the Boomer Speck [ __ ] [ __ ] weed in fact I rephrase my drug of choice is going to be vag vaginal bacteriosis yes let’s hope it’s not going to be that yeah what’s

That yeast infection those get cytis no uh thrush thrush yeah it’s going to be thrush they they’re [ __ ] for letting you out in this place aren’t they it’s one of the worst countries to drive in I mean Belgium’s pretty bad but these guys are just not because and I don’t blame the

Actual people by the way I blame the rules of the infrastructure of the road making it impossible to make your own decisions it’s just well here you go like this whole Motorway into Amsterdam by the way never ever come here it’s the most boring [ __ ] road you’ll ever

Ever come down it’s 60 MPH and everyone just sits there like an absolute [ __ ] [ __ ] left or right what it was what [ __ ] if I know no chance yeah yeah I got a false neutral mate otherwise I would have [ __ ] had you yeah I’m I’m really enjoying this

Bike the only thing is there’s a there’s a certain amount of Jeopardy isn’t there when you riding something that cost 1500 quid across Europe and you’re always concerned that any minute now someone’s going to like fall off it or break yeah but that’s the point of it though isn’t

It I think actually see that shitty Tesla there I think there’s more chance of [ __ ] going wrong with that across Europe than there is with this old piece of [ __ ] that you’re riding and that and that could set fire and [ __ ] just Bur itself to a crisp well there was one on

The ferry actually I was like I don’t feel comfortable on this boat cuz once those things catch light that’s it yeah yeah yeah yeah they take days to go out don’t they yeah well they have to permanent like like submerse them in those big water tanks don’t they for

Weeks mine mine sounds like a like a sports bike should be I mean this is an inline inline four cylinder engine it’s a sports bike engine Ned flanders’s here checking in live from Amsterdam while we go bicycling to get some food And w w Oh got no Break happy first uh night in the Stag D really how you feeling M feel thank you very much um was that a stag challenge no I just like this shirt I got it at a Chaz shop it was six quid six quid Unfortunately they didn’t

  1. Really? None of you could find a 2002-2003 Triumph Trophy? There has got to be at least 5 in every township in England! Surely these bikes will be the only things left besides cockroaches after a nuclear Armageddon!

  2. Great video everyone, and well done to Boothy for getting on with life better than the majority of boring eegits out there! BTW I have a new model RT which I commute 140 miles a day on (used to be 200 miles a day) and it’s ideal. In dynamic mode, even in rain mode it’s seriously quick considering its weight. I don’t care if it’s despised, or if I am, I got it to do a job: comfortable quick, all weather commuting to London and to do some two up touring. Nothing does that remit better. I could get an additional bike, but unfortunately I’d then have 2 bikes, and no wife and no balls.

  3. Great bikes!

    I own & ride a BMW R1200RTP (Police/Authority spec R1200RT) and they are great bikes.

    They have lower gearing, lighter, slimmer panniers mounted forward for bettwr weight distribution and a cooling fan on the oil cooler.

    I enjoy chasing down sports bikes on mine 😎

    I always wanted a PC800 after seeing the one in 'Harley Davidson & the Marlborough Man' with Don Hihnson & Mickey Rourke. Not the fastest or best-handling bike, but years ahead of its time.

    The big Kawasaki kooks retro-cool. I'd play Metallica or some metalcore at full blast all day if I had one of those 🤘

  4. The age gap between these bikes is incredible. And the fact, that they are just as cheap as each other…. wild. You gotta be a pretty hardcore Japan fan if you choose one of those old-timers for touring purposes.
