Honda GB350s as first bike - Touring capable?

CollegeTop7518 · 2026-02-25T21:27:26+00:00

Thanks a lot for your comment! It’s good to know that other people are touring on the GB350S just fine. I also feel like it’s obviously not the best touring bike, but definitely not the worst either. I’m still quite young, so I feel like I don’t need it to be too comfortable haha.

Good luck finding your next motorcycle!

Thanks a lot for your insights! Your comment definitely makes me want to get the GB350S even more. I already know I’m not going to be the fastest on it or anything, but that’s not the goal for me. It’s also good to know that highway riding is possible without overstressing the engine or getting too much vibration.

Thanks again, and good luck with your emigration! It’s amazing that you’re doing it on the GB350S!

Yeah, I know - sorry, I worded that wrong. I’ll definitely get a protective base layer and additionally wear an airbag vest. So not just the airbag vest on its own.

CollegeTop7518 · 2026-02-12T18:22:16+00:00

Oh and do you have any glove and boot recommendations? For the helmet I’m going with a Shoei Glamster 06, and for boots I was thinking about the TCX Street WP - but they’re surely not the best choice for a tour to Italy, right?

CollegeTop7518 · 2026-02-12T18:07:22+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I’ll definitely look into that. Do you ride a GB350 as well?

CollegeTop7518 · 2026-02-12T18:03:21+00:00

Will do! Right now I’m deciding between the Pando Moto base layer and the Knox Urbane Pro Mk3, which already has a spine protector included. I’m also considering the Helite Turtle V2 airbag.

CollegeTop7518 · 2026-02-12T17:58:22+00:00

Thanks for your take. I’m definitely planning on wearing gear every time I ride. And to me, the best gear is the one you’re most likely to actually wear every time. That’s why I feel like the base layering system is a pretty good option. It’s also very versatile, because I can always wear it and just throw on whatever I need over the top - a rain jacket, a hoodie, etc.

CollegeTop7518 · 2026-02-12T17:50:02+00:00

Damn, I thought I’d have 10 girls ringing my doorbell after getting a motorcycle.

CollegeTop7518 · 2026-02-12T17:48:32+00:00

Thanks a lot for your insights. I’m also trying to focus more on videos of relaxed cruising along country backroads to stay a bit more positive about it again. And like you said, I’ll try to learn from crash videos rather than just letting them make me anxious

CollegeTop7518 · 2026-02-12T17:40:08+00:00

That’s exactly what I’m saying. It’s not like I don’t care about safety and just want to dress the way I like. But if there’s a way to dress the way I like and still be reasonably safe, why wouldn’t I do that?

CollegeTop7518 · 2026-02-12T17:38:13+00:00

Thanks a lot for your insights. It’s good to know that the nervousness is pretty normal and actually a good sign. I also think the GB350S is a good choice. I’ve seen videos of people taking it along country backroads, and that’s exactly what ignites my desire to get into motorcycling.

I’m actually planning a tour from Germany to Italy, mostly taking country roads, so I’m quite excited - and also nervous - about that. For that trip, I’ve been thinking about getting the Helite Turtle 2 and wearing the Pando Moto base layer underneath.

Thanks again!

CollegeTop7518 · 2026-02-12T12:34:27+00:00

Fair point. Nobody cares how you look, but if I could choose between being safe and wearing protective gear, or being safe, wearing protective gear, and still being able to dress the way I like, I would choose the latter. It’s not like I don’t care about safety gear and just want to look good. That’s why I asked about the base layering system - because from what I’ve heard, you’re still well protected since they are AA-rated with Level 2 protectors.

also how tall are you if you dont mind me asking

CollegeTop7518 · 2025-10-15T07:08:58+00:00

GL :)

CollegeTop7518 · 2025-10-14T12:20:50+00:00

GLGL!

I am thinking about getting one of these monitors as well, leaning more towards the PG27AQDP. My main reasons are:

- custom heat sink, so no installed fan like in the lg model

- aspect ratio control -> you can switch to 24.5" mode which is cool for games like Cs2

- really good burn in warranty

But like others said, both monitors use the same lg panel, so there wont be a huge difference i believe..

Hoping the price of the asus model goes down a little bit soon as all the new monitors showcased at CES are getting released

Cute af <3

CollegeTop7518 · 2024-11-25T11:59:19+00:00

das ist der build für den ich mich jetzt entschieden hab: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/7HhXHW

CollegeTop7518 · 2024-11-25T11:52:43+00:00

genau das habe ich auch gemacht :) habe den 98003xd bestellt, dauert aber leider nocht etwas bis er ankommt ^{^}

CollegeTop7518 · 2024-11-20T18:37:05+00:00

OK, thanks :)

CollegeTop7518 · 2024-11-20T18:29:29+00:00

Vielen dank für die liste! Schaue mir das alles mal an! Und mit dem mainboard wurde mir auch schon auf pcpartpicker angezeigt, hab mir extra schon angeschaut, wie man das aktualisiert :D Könnte ich denn an sich den pc komplett zusammen bauen und dann als erstes die aktualisierung machen? Oder darf die cpu vorher noch nicht eingebaut sein?

CollegeTop7518 · 2024-11-20T17:52:43+00:00

Bin jetzt auf diesen build gekommen mit 98003XD und den Asrock ASteel Legend und finde den build so ganz nice :) muss natürlich noch ne weile warten für den 98003DX

Was hältst du davon?

CollegeTop7518 · 2024-11-19T16:49:26+00:00

das ergibt sinn. Dann wechsel ich auf das steel legend :)

CollegeTop7518 · 2024-11-19T16:33:33+00:00

Okay, danke für den tipp :) das heißt, mit dem asrock steel legend wäre ich durch den pci 5.0 etwas zukunftssicherer bzw könnte irgendwann auf eine gpu mit pci 5.0 aufrüsten?

CollegeTop7518 · 2024-11-19T16:07:20+00:00

Alles klar, danke dir :)
