What is the bloody bike he is on? Is it a 125 with a big bore exhaust or something?

Looks more like a large capacity T-Max, guessing 500, quite possibly also stolen.

Correct - is it a 125 duke or something? Sounds absolutely awful.

S1000r I think with a zorst and the autoblipper.
As for the "Nearly Bikejacked"sensational headline.....
Seriously??? Get a fking grip. Are these Vloggers so desperate to get attention"???

He messes with the sound on his videos to try and make them sound better, it'll sound nothing like that in real life.

I did think after watching the video, I was still wondering when the bikejacked bit was about to start ................

It was concerning to watch, I think it was authentic. As far as bike sounds go I love his videos for that. yes

It's an S1000R.

You see them a lot in London, usually with open face helmets and face masks. I had one eyeball me the other day but considering I was sat on my 05 Hornet I wasn't too worried laugh

Wow it sounds st if it really is an S1000r

Anyway, agreed. I thought they were going to start wrestling him, not just look at him.

"Seeing 2 men on a moped is a good indication" I would be stting myself constantly on my daily commute if that was the case....
Next week.....

Watch RJ take on a gaggle of Octogenarians for walking on the cracks in the pavement....
See him bring down da heat on dem foo's!

Same people - same helmet for one of them, same bike they're riding.

Good to know the cops are doing a good job...

Maybe they weren't about to grab RJ's keys, but his suspicions were fully valid.

Good catch on the second video.

You can see the bike turn and followed him, so up to some thing. Also goes to show it only takes a few of these scum to make a big problem.

I guess if we lived in the USA or South Africa, we could protect our property and just shoot the 3 of them from the luxury of our bedroom window therefore saving ourselves a whole load of hassle. In the meanwhile in the liberal UK, there is no deterrent for these scumbags to go about their business in broad daylight. They know there will be no pursuit (in case someone gets hurt) and if they get caught a few months community service to do whilst they continue their chosen profession....

Wouldn't they be armed as well? Easy way to get a bike, shoot the rider, pick it up and ride off on it.

That was a good spot from RJ. You can call it over-reacting for the sake of views, but he clocked them, they did a U turn and pulled up close, had a good look and then when he moved back they got out of there quickly. No plate, same bike and helmet for the rider as in the other theft video, he clocked them, they were definitely up to no good. Love him or hate him, that second video vindicates him I think. I doubt they were going to bikejack him but him I wouldn't be surprised if they had tried to see where he leaves the bike so they could pinch it later.

The only daft thing was following the police van on blues and twos, though I appreciate he may not have been thinking with absolute clarity because he probably just wanted the police to get a look out for the scrotes.
