V.I.O POV.HD Test - Kawasaki ER-6F / Ninja 650

[Ross22]

You have a really nice collection of videos, i find them really interesting! Im thinking of getting a pov but the quality seems a bit poor for a £500 camera, how do you rate it overall?

[Thunderous71]

@Ross22 4 out of 5 (you can get it for about 400 now), if you look at the latest uploads they are better quality, the first few I did I didn't understand encoding etc so I messed up the quality a bit. In even light its an excellent camera but sadly in rapidly change light situations it does suffer badly. Others worth a look at are the GoPro range, driftHD and the contor HD/GPS.

Looks like Weybridge or thereabouts.

At the start of ya video you fussed up with your lane discipline!! Sorry for being anal!

[Thunderous71]

@Trotters222 True but that was intentional, filtering and lane splitting is legal as long as its done safely :)

What year is your ER-6F mate? This is on a list of a few I'm looking at (ER-6F, SV650S, GSX650F and CBR600F) and some of the other videos the twin sounds too agricultural, but on both of yours it sounds fine.

[Thunderous71]

@YarekBalear Its a 2010 version, AFAIK the exhause system has not change that much for a good few years. And I know what you mean when you say 'agricultural'. At med/high revs it cansound that way, all in all though it sound plenty meaty without sounding like a screaching high end sports bike or a over the top loud Harley.

The bike! Though the camera is cool too!

[Thunderous71]

@parsac2007 My advice try a CBT its a one day course on a 125 half day off the road thenhalf day on the road. You soon know if you want it or not. And a bigger bike I find is much easier to ride. Remember 0% finance deals at the moment :D

[parsac2007]

Man, that looks like fun. I want one!!!

[Thunderous71]

@parsac2007 The camera or the bike ;)
