I used a software called NeatVideo to reduce noise for a cleaner look. Here is a new video I uploaded but decided to start downscaling my videos from 4k to 1080p. File size is smaller with a cleaner 1080p resolution. Here are my GoPro Hero 7 settings for this video in case your interested.

4K 24fps, Superview w/Hypersmooth Stabilazation. White Balance Native, Shutter Auto, EV Comp 0, ISO Min 100 ISO Max 400, Sharpness Low, Color Flat.

60 fps at the native lower resolution (e.g. 1080p) would have allowed for crisp stop frame viewing. Maybe 720p at 60+ fps would be ideal at night.

I like watching flicks like these because one can appreciate other riders' domains, read the dash instruments, road signage, license plates, roadside advertisements, etc.

I will have to experiment with shooting at 60fps. My understanding is that shooting at a lower frame rate lets more light hit the camera sensor therefore making it better for low light conditions. I’m still a noob so appreciate your suggestions. Driving in Los Angeles at night with all the city lights and not too much traffic is fun and glad you enjoyed the vid. If I were to shoot this same video two to three hours earlier, it would just be another motorcycle lane splitting video. Biker

You could be right, and it could also depend on the quality of the sensor, lens and the performance of the camera processor/firmware.

You've done more riding at night just in the video's I've watched than I have done in the last several years. I don't even know what my FJR's instruments or headlights look like in the dark and I've had it a year/15,000 miles lol

amazing clarity and lack of wind noise in that one

I've never ridden my CB at night and it was an interesting perspective.
The video was very well done Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Riding at night with any motorcycle is my most favourite time to ride.

Yes, in the right conditions, night riding is a great pleasure.
