@@ZinoAmare there’s no shame in my love for the R1 - it’s justifiably a great bike… honestly I’m shocked the Monster (current bike) made it, i see it as more of a 90s bike
Holy crap you are a Monster owner who as a child dreamed about the R1??? That's just like me ahah. Got a black/red 695. Planning on getting a 1st gen R1 next, been my dream bike since I got a toy version of it as a kid.
Aprilia RSV Mille rider here, bike is from 2001 but rides like a dream. Apart from soon-to-be-swapped stock battery (20 years old lol) it's a beast that just pulls with no hickup and corners immensely well. No wonder the Mille and the later 1000R held various lap records (Nurburgring etc) where other street bikes couldn't keep up. Oh and it's also very comfortable for a supersport, no sore knees or wrists, can ride it for hours. And best part; it costs 30-40% less than an equivalent Ducati, and half the cost in maintenance :D Awesome to see it on the list!
@@thomashaagsma7657 Pretty close specs, have the full Akra race exhaust on but I haven't done any extensive tune, so far don't feel the need xD It's such a beast, pull is incredible. Yours sounds mental
@@Real_MisterSir it is! First three gears are quite fun, almost instant wheelies when you are too harsh on the gas. I also got the -1 +1 toothsprocket update, so it is a fun machine. This bike is at 4.5k rpm on full NM's, and it runs linear until the revlimiter! A tune is really worth it!
From this era I pick the 06 Yamaha FZ6. Cheap, got mine for $2700. Fast, 98hp before they were later choked down. And awesome looking. I sold it before I got arrested or killed. 😢
@@A--lex Naked. Bought 03 Elect Glide. Then sold that too. 😢 Then bought 98 Softail Springer with apes. Great running bike. And sold my GS850GX. I so regret selling these bikes.
I have to agree. I started on a Yamaha 950 bolt, then went to a Yamaha 1900 raider. Both of those were cruisers and the raider was damn fast for its size. But, I'm a short rider, and that bike was so wide that even with the extremely low seat height I still couldn't flat foot it with both feet. 750 lb is a lot of weight to hold up on your toes. I recently just sold that and bought the smaller more nimble Yamaha MT-07. That bike is no rocket ship, but it is a blast to ride. My buddy rides an f z6 and we swapped tonight and went on a ride. That FZ6 is something else. I absolutely love the sound of an i-4 engine screaming. And it had more than enough power to be fun. And he bought his for less than $4,000. I love my MT07, but that FZ6 at the price he paid was a hell of a bargain better than the one I got on my bike at $6,000 for a 2019.
i got a buddy with one. he brought it for riding during winter, he doesn't want to get his h2sx dirty. i got his old k1 gixxer thaw as my first bike. just came from a ride, love the thing to bits!
In 47 seconds, Yammie noob took me threw a whole time travel period of when I was younger in the 2000’s living my best KID life.😂 Mannn..talk about damn near spot on.😅👌🏽 . . . Ahhhh .. great times I tell ya.😌
a good, but under-appreciated, bike from the mid 2000s is the Aprilia shiver 750.. a fantastic naked mid-sized bike, with plenty of power, and the first ride by wire tech available on a production bike!
Love these lists I ride a 2009 FZ1. 85k full service records. Love this bike it's a solid all-round bike. Live in north jersey. Been to Canada down to Tennessee. And it is fast don't kid your self.
Both the Ninja’s I’ve owned on this list back to back with my old Candy thunder blue 2005 Kawasaki Ninja 500R to the current 2003 Kawasaki ZX-6R B1636 (red). Solid Choices Yam.
I had three Ninja 250's over the years, for a girlfriend and then a son. The Ninja 500 is the better choice, and as good as it gets for the smaller to average sized beginner rider, can't answer for the Shrek sized rider.
Wonder what the difference is between my ZZR and the ZX-6R? My bike looks identical to the ZX-6R. All ball's racing carb kit. Full D & D exhaust system. K&N air filter. vortex gearing front and back (Aluminum). 520 RK Gold O-ring chain.
Since I'm one of the Euro boys, I started with 10 hours of slow speed and skill lessons after that getting 13 hours of road lessons both on a sv650. Since than I have gotten myself a Kawasaki er6 N with 50hp on paper but it being the original 73 hp. Now I'm stuck on this power level for another 1,5 years, nice time to learn the skills etc for a bigger bike in 2 years. Not necessarily looking for something Crazy since our Highway speeds are 100 kph (+-60mph) but I am looking forward to a bit more umpf when riding it. What type of affordable bike would u guys suggest as a next step? Not really looking to get into the 1000 yet
bought an 2000's R6 for 2500€ some months ago, Its been a joyful, sometimes a bit scary, but always fun ride. I think its a nice bike to drive fast, but you need to have the mind control to not kill yourself
I've owned an 07 monster 1000 and an 07 1098, both are amazingly fun bikes. Monster in my stable currently, can't go wrong with an air cooled dry clutch ducati for a fun time.
Not a bad list, I would have included the Yamaha fz1. Carbed or injected, one of the best bang for your buck bikes. Just avoid 06-07 models or at least avoid wheelies and hooligan riding…frame crack issues.
The GSXR squid. I went to cars and coffee and there was a GSXR with his custom painted helmet right next to it. I thought i wonder who the owner is, he has to be obvious to find in the crowd. Sure enough, there he was with matching PJ’s and revving his engine like a lunatic when he left. I know it didn’t surprise me either.
Like the video but it was weird to put the horsepower and torque of some bikes but not the others plz include all the power figures if your going to mention some of them in a list video like this
You can't beat the 05-06 ninja 636 . It's the earliest of the bikes that can look as good as new bikes today as long as it was parked in a garage all its life like mine lol plus it has more or the same horsepower as almost all these liter bikes on the list lol
I bought my 03 dream machine this year for 2k, love it and ill never sell it. Tis a wonderful machine… but has some easy to fix teething issue and electrical gremlins to contend with but I wouldnt change it for anything…
Everybody keeps forgetting the real underdog of the early 2000s The Suzuki SV1000 K3/K4 naked version - not the S. Being a 996cc v-twin with 120hp it is the real Japanese Ducati Monster alternative. Not to mention, everyone I spoke to, who had one, keeps bringing up that they regret selling it.
respectable list had the 1098S and S4RS during that area but if you're gonna say the best of tht time & area you have to include the Honda Super Hawk and its big brother RC51 and the very respected and often feared 2004/05 ZedX 10R
A bit of advice from an old bloke who knows. Listen to your uncle Yam people, he knows what he’s talking about. Buy the bikes you lusted over in your teens/ twenties as soon as you can, because if you leave it 30 or 40 years you won’t be able to afford them. I’d love a katana or rg now, but I’d have to sell the house to afford one. I guess I’ll just have to be happy with the ts185’s I’ve got in the shed. PS: stop shaving your balls Yammie!
how you don't have the 2000 2001 CBR 600 F4i on this list is an absolute joke the bike still goes strong today looks just as good as bikes today and is the choice of the stunting crowd everywhere come on man do some research
Why no muscle cruisers? Seriously, the 2000s were when the muscle cruisers truly came into their own. I have an '05 Yamaha Warrior 1700. The torque is mind-altering.
@@infernoslayer699 I understand... been watching for a couple years. I figured that the muscle cruisers wars of the 2000s deserved some sort of mention.
Got a hornet 600 and highly recommend it!!! The 919 is pointless n comparison... still dont get how they can up the displacement by over 300cc and only gain like 16 hp!!! The 600 has 97hp and almost 50 lb ft of torque.... my perfect beginner bike!😊
Good points, I'd love to have the 600 Hornet as well, and hear her scream! But those ponies don't arrive until 12,000 RPM! And those 50 ft/lbs are measured at 9,000 RPM, the very anti-definition of torque. As in Not Torquey, at all! The 919 hits 108-110 HP at 9,000 RPM. And 67 ft/lbs at 6,500 RPM, still in the useable mid range. The 919 has better power to weight and torque to weight ratios than the Bandit 1200, considered a torque monster (in it's day). I'd love hear a 600 Hornet scream like that one night stand in 👠 and 💄, but for a steady girlfriend that packs a punch across a wide range of situations, I picked the 919 Hornet. And that, too is a great point! 😁
Although I would love to dance with a Hornet 600, a narrow peaky power band is Not an ideal for a beginner bike. A torquey broad band is ideal and there are many excellent examples: Ninja 500, GS500, Ninja 650, All the SV650 variants readily come to mind way ahead of the 600 Hornet!
