The things Spike is willing to do to not talk about the Vulcan S
The Vulcan S is somewhat slow compared to these bikes, but incredibly fun to take around corners. #1 rule of cruisers is that you're not allowed to have fun cornering. You should know that. If you're having fun cornering, you're doing something wrong.
Edit: I'm being sarcastic BTW.
Scraping pegs daily when riding my Vulcan S
His name is spite
It doesn’t really match up in this comparison with that small displacement 649cc out of the somewhat uninspired ninja 650, I’m sure it can handle well and is somewhat quick compared to something else but wouldn’t hang with any of the performers in this bunch.
It's spite
My biggest gripe with some of these cruisers is that they only have 1 person seats, while I expect to only ride with a pillion maybe once in a blue moon, I'd rather have a cruiser capable of carrying 2 than not
Every single cruiser can carry a passenger. Buy a new seat. The thing about cruisers is they are typically the middleweight bike, meant for solo riding. There's a reason why baggers and big touring bikes typically DO come with passenger seats. And you said it yourself in regards to having a passenger on a cruiser - "maybe once in a blue moon."
I'd like to see a video about the most fun 2 wheeled vehicle, period. Scooters, choppers, naked, whatever. Nothing is off the table. That would be a fun video.
1) Turbo Hayabusa
2) Hayabusa
At the age of 61, I've been through my superbike years and bought a Street Scrambler last year. I totally agree it is an alternative cruiser. Pliant suspension, all day comfort, and a torquey engine that has you blasting away from the lights, then settling down to enjoy the ride. I find there's 2 schools of thought on the Street Scrambler: those who dismiss it on the specs, and those who've actually ridden one.
Sport biker here, and retired racer. I love the fact that the whole video showed the new 'Wing as background. It's a tourer, a cruiser, an overweight sport bike, and a super sleeper... the best overall motorcycle ever. Can't wait for the 50th anniversary edition.
Well my yammie noob peeps, I have passed my MSF course and other test! Ah something I’ve been wanting to do since I was 18!! Such a great start for my self for the new year!!! Thanks yammie noob for sparking up my interest a few months back! Side note, kinda glad I’m 31 now.. bikes have come a long way since I was 18 and man insurance is way cheaper since when I was looking back then!!! Thanks yammie!!!
Gratz! I agree, now's a much better time for riding. Took the course back in the '80's but never got my license. Last spring I went through it again and am anxiously waiting for spring to get the bikes out of the shed. I played it safe and picked up a Rebel 250 early on and then a new Rebel 500 not long after. Seeing the 1100 at the top of the list really makes me want to get out there again.
So, my yamling…what’s going to be your ride? Vulcan 900 Custom is my first pick. Rebel 1100 would get a glance or two from me. If you have time me and inclination, I’d love to know what you picked and why!
Had a Suzuki c50 great bike. Comfortable, reliable, affordable. And I'm 6ft 235lb
Huge fanboy of the Yamaha VMAX 1700! I would also like to add that the price of the motorcycle may seem like a lot at first. But it easily pays for itself over time. The reliability is superb, the shaft drive means no need to lube up chains and replace them, and the valve check period is something like 26k miles. I couldn't think of a better muscle cruiser to buy that I would use as a daily rider.
Meh, it'll be worth 1/4 of its asking price within a few years.
@@OldManShoutsAtClouds Until you go on cycle trader and see models from the early 2010s still selling for above 10k...
I always enjoy how this channel fails to understand cruisers. It’s about comfort and style more than 10 second quarter miles. If it’s smooth, stable, torquey, low maintenance and shiny it’s probably got most of what it needs. Tech and gizmo gimmicks not needed.
Exactly! Then again I don't watch Yam/Spite videos for cruiser logic lol. They have none, and that's just fine. Spite also doesn't understand what the Scout line is really for - it basically can do almost everything. He needs to watch the plethora of channels from Scout owners. Get out there Spite, get to know some real heavy-usage Scout owners!
It's pretty specifically talking about the funnest cruisers... Not the most reliable, comfortable, or stylish though...
Just watched the HD video, lotta "bold new graphics", Spite's face remains egg-free.
You know it's gonna be a good day when there's a Mastadon reference in a yammy video
I just bought a 16’ vmax two days ago and love it!
Not sure how something like the Triumph scrambler makes a cruiser list. I'm not a cruiser guy so far but would think the Suzuki M109R could be suitable for this list. 😊
LOVE the VMax. Would love to see the yammie take on one of those
Hey Yammie, Love your content. My cousin was just in a very serious bike accident, Car pulled out in front of him. I’m sure he’d appreciate some love on his recovery!
As a Texas Hill Country homeboy, your B-roll is making me homesick.
I feel like the M109R definitly belongs on this list.
Agree. But, pretty much any cruiser that can stay upright could have have a slot. To which I say, the more the merrier! “The 642 ABSOLUTE BEST Cruisers!” I’d watch that!!!
Fat bob, magna and VMAX. I loved my triumph scrambler
Bought a Rocket 3 GT last year with the optional quick shifter, best decision ever!
Got mine back in august. Thing is crazy. Gotta get me the quick shifter though, that would be fun.
I think that Diavel deserve his own category , hard to say it still cruiser when he have more from hypernakeds than cruisers
Especially when ducati makes the actual Xdiavel cruiser
@@thierryfaquet7405 yes the X = cruiser
If you say diavel is not a cruiser than the rocket 3 and rebel 1100 are not cruisers because have mid controls too.
Rebel is totally cruiser i think. Rocket previous model was also, actual one still have some of it even engine is a inline3 monster. Diavel resign from almost every cruiser ideas. It is of course still awesome bike- but as i said, closer to be hypernaked than a cruiser imo
@@karol_on_road
What makes diavel any different than the rebel 1100? Both handle like naked bikes both chain driven and both got mid controls and both have rev happy engines.
The best used bike to get is a Victory. Great windshield and fairing options and I would assume you could get one for a decent price.
You are correct, but good luck getting replacement parts. And good luck trying to replace aftermarket parts (put on by previous ownerships) with OEM or other aftermarket parts. Polaris warehouses are hit or miss on parts and they take no returns. ALL sales are final. Aftermarket dealers are okay and sometimes you just have to wait for someone else to wreck their Victory before you can find the part you need. It helps to know a good fabricator and to know your way around a hardware store. The older the bike, the harder it is. I'm a Victory owner, and this is my story.
By the way, I love Victory bikes! ✌️
The best part of this video is the fact that Spite listens to Mastodon!! And the video is great, now think about that
Interesting, I am not a cruizer person but it is still interesting to look into what another style has got to offer for example that Ducati is really pretty and hard to point out as a cruizer good stuff.
I just bought a new street bob 114. And I love it.
I’m in full love with my RE classic 350 ❤
Very surprised the Yamaha Bolt R-Spec didn't make the list, I owned one for a while and it was a blast. Great list nonetheless though!
No mention of the Honda Magna? Guess you were only looking at new.
750cc V4 screaming to 11k rpm making 80hp for under $3k on a cruiser.
550lbs, but feels lighter. Great for beginners and more than enough fun to keep anyone entertained
Cruiser content boiiiiii!!!!
Love the mastodon shoutout🎉
The Diavel is not really the Ducati cruiser. The correct bike would be the XDiavel, with actual forward foot pegs. Also, that photo you showed of the two brothers, one on the Rocket and one on the Diavel, finished with the Diavel beating the Rocket.
yes, Diavel beats the Rocket in that video, .... and probably in a longer / quarter-mile / full-mile race, rocket would take the lead, but for short bursts, Diavel wins everytime, not by a big margin though. Also, i sat on both, Rocket GT & X-Diavel, ducati's seat is more comfortable, & it's 60-70 kg. lighter, although displacement is only 50% of Triumph.
I noticed the first three bikes were sport peg set rather than forward pegs also.
"... Diavel beating the Rocket..." interesting how a shaft drive "compares" to a chain drive in a head-to-head placebo test.
I have just ordered a Rebel 1100 :D The Rocket 3 is really cool!
I love my Speedmaster. It fits my dad-mode style.
You guys need to get your hands on a Harley FXDR I’ve never ridden one but extremely curious as to what you guys would have to say about it. Being Harley’s fastest accelerating motorcycle and super lightweight with sportier suspension than Harley traditionally has, should be interesting
I would love a new Vmax but I really love my first gen V65 Honda Magna!
Rode many different cruisers in the past few decades, and the one that's given me the most fun is the one I currently ride: Honda's torque monster, the mighty VTX1800. All hail the mighty VTX1800 !
Little do they know !
All hail the vtx1800! I own an xvs1300
@@jimwitt21 Great steed you have there. Rubber side down, Kemosabe.
Heavy and no breaks. Pass
Can’t wait to pick up my rebel 1100 this Saturday !
The Rebel got high endorsement, pretty cool!
I wonder if Triumph Speedmaster and HD Fat Bob would have made it to the list if it went to 10 bikes?
I think it would be time to include more advanture bikes on this channel. Africa twin, BMW GS, Kawasaky Verysis and so on. I never thought that am gona say that but lately am thinking about those bikes. I currently have an RS660 and I like it alot but I dont know wheter to go to a Liter bike or ADV bike in the next 2 years?!. yeah I know....weird crosshoping....
Interesting that the Rebel 1100 made the top of his list. I've been torn between saving up for the new Harley Sporster S or just saving money and getting the Rebel 1100 with almost all the same features and preformance but being way cheaper.
@@Antonio_zx6r ECU flash.
List was solely based on price, from highest to lowest. Doesn’t mean the Rebel is ranked #1 overall, just cheapest on the list they put together.
That being said, I picked up a Rebel 1100 a year ago, first bike I’ve owned since first learning 25+ years ago and couldn’t be happier with it.
Damn seriously? I’m interested in buying a Rebel 1100 but that 100mph top end bums me out. Not that I’m constantly going over 100mph but I’d like to be able to. It’s strange because my CB500f went 115mph top end and it’s 471ccs.
@@damienogden9706 Yeah it's really stupid and I don't understand why they did it, especially keeping it as low as 100mph. In theory the bike could top out at 140mph without it. I've heard the 1100s sold in Europe don't have the speed governor.
Rebel is on the bottom of m list
Wait, Spite is a metalhead? Sweet! Been listening to some slow, lumbering, stompy songs, lately. DevilDriver- Monsters of the Deep, Morbid Angel - Where The Slime Live, etc..
I'm laughing now. I own the Triumph America/Speedmaster 865 2014. I also own the Sportster S and have put 500 miles on it in a week. I did look at both the Rebel and Scout (actually I was about two days from buying the Rebel when Harley announced the Sportster S). So 4/7 from the list, all from the top 4. The Scout has a modern engine and ABS, that is it. The Triumph has an older engine with ABS and is heavy as hell (I know because I have one). The Rebel has a really good package if you want a great value bike (traction control, cruise control, rider modes) but lacks personalisation. So I went for the Sportster S, I had the money but it is a toy at that price and if you are trying to save money on a toy... don't have children. If you are buying a bike to commute for great value, get a 250-400cc. On the other hand, if you are riding highways to commute I fully recommend the Triumph 865cc 2014, great bike for that.
Every time I see a mention towards Triumph I think to myself, finally. Finally they will mention one of the 1200’s this time. Whether it be the actual cruiser, like the Speedmaster, The Bobber…..Literally a stripped down Speedmaster and thus more of a cruiser than two of the bikes listed in this video.
Nope, just the 900 scrambler……again.
It's okay, just breathe and remember this is not the TH-cam channel for cruiser bikes.
This is exactly the vid I wanted
me too, love the content by Yam
Surprised the Vulcan S didn't make the list. At least I have a lot of fun with it.
love mine too - but yammy hates them, they have many vids saying so, so it'll never be on this list.
@@djangounhinged7634 Wow really? Why do they hate them?
@@jhall7798
Some people like myself can't stand the 180 degree firing order of kawasakis 650 parallel twin engines.
It's overall a good motorcycle but the engine is so boring and lackluster compared to more modern parallel twin with 270 degree firing order.
The New Mastodon album, Hushed and Grim, is dope
"before it turned into a scheme for Yam to ride old ducatis" LOL
Hell yea mastodon sweat pants!
Honda FTW 😎😬🍻 however I like that biscotti beast.
Bonnie’s are the best. Love my street twin !
Yeaaaaah spite shouting out Mastodon !
have you heard about koenigsegg "Freevalve"? campless enginges with efficiency and performance increase, using less weight. seems perfect for motorcycles.
I was wondering why Honda Rebel didn't show up. I mean it's quality and very good cruiser design. I loved it.
I’m a firm believer that on public roads it’s safer and more fun to ride a slow bike fast. You can’t have fun on sport bikes without risking your freedom and safety more than you would a cruiser
Honestly yeah. I had a Suzuki C50 as a starter and loved it. I sold it to buy an FZ1 and it's stupid fast, pretty comfortable and handles well but you take it to the top of 3rd and you're going to jail.
I ended up buying a Honda Magna partly so my girl could learn to ride and partly because I wanted another cruiser and it's just about perfect. Comfy, stupid fast if you rev it out, and handles great.
rolling burn outs on the scout for sure lol especially with tune and goodies, its a hot rod
I love my 92 sportster but I occasionally think it would be nice to have a bike that isn't 30 years old
I have a 2020 low rider s, it's fun, but the sportster has unlimited potential to be whatever you want it to be. I miss mine sometimes.
As someone who was born in '92 and is turning 30 this year, could you not remind me? Thanks 🤣
Sportsters are great. What you need is a 2nd motorcycle
It's a machine... SO what's wrong with 30 years old???
Keep it up so long as that's a reasonable series of chores to do. The only time you should start sweating something mechanical for its age is when the parts sources and "consumables" dry up, turning an ordinary maintenance task into a week-long clusterf***...
In years (or even decades) down the road, that age you're sweating is going to turn into dollar-signs. Someone with a nostalgic LOVE of this or that bike "Because my daddy had one just like that." is going to offer you more money than you'll know to ask... THAT is worth the wait, and in the meantime, if you want to play with something newer, there's no harm in getting a second bike like Phil's suggesting... ;o)
@@gnarthdarkanen7464 yep, I've got a 1978 CB750K in the stable. Still fun to ride and in good condition. I'm the original owner.
Almost bought a Rocket 3 a few months ago. I ended up getting a Road King Special instead. There's just something about the RKS that checks all the boxes for me... Flame suit on...
cant blame you. id be hard pressed to choose, and im not really even a harley guy. definitely looks like it has more muscle tho
Finally a video about real bikes 😆 🤣
Spite listens to Mastodon? A fellow man of culture, I see.
I love the scout 60 looks except the mufflers those would red changed looks wise
If you want a fun fast cruiser that handles corners get a Yamaha warrior xv1700 if you can find one
If Polaris wouldn't have stopped making parts for Victory early" I would have bought one of those Indian bikes. I'll have to go look at the Harley I guess.
Not motorcycle related but Spite drives a Speed3 eh. Cool cars and motorcycles!
Cruiser boi, "Sitting in my office, in Sweatpants, listening to Mastodon". Am I Spite?
Did Suzuki stop making the M109? That thing has good power and a drum brake... instant fun!
No, it is still being made. Probably didn't make this list because they are quite heavy compared to the ones on this list.
@@bhouse92101 True. After my comment I looked it up - the blue one is so pretty! They also finally a have disc brake on the back now, which is good for safety, but to me takes away a bit of the charm.
Spite, what would you do? As someone that is 6'2" do you think a new Rebel 1100 or a sub-10,000 mile Yamaha Raider is a better choice? I like the idea of the sporty feel of the Rebel but have seen and heard great things about the Raider. What do you think?
I own the raider and love it to death but it's a heavy torque monster under 800 pounds and torque is instant I've never ridden a bike this heavy that can pull the front end off the ground with proper grip
Hiii! And the Indian FTR 1200 2022, isn't a Cruiser?? In which category fits? Thanks!! Hi from México!
I want that rebel as an upgrade to my vt750dc
Mastodon 🤘F yeah.
The Triumph t120 is the best cruiser out there imo
I thought for sure the Vulcan S would be in there. Not a bad list
Lol, the Yam crew has a special distaste for Vulcans in general.
Yes!!! Rebel 1100!
street scrambler looks like my great great Grand Dads bike
what do you think about the megelli 125r?
I imagine a motorcycle with a Harley design and Honda reliability 😍🌟💖
Beautiful dream 🌎🌟
Hey Yammie how about putting metrics in (..) in your videos for us non-eagle-per-freedom unit folks around the world
I don’t know how you could consider a diavel a cruiser, but hey, I guess you do. Looks more naked bike-Esque. Not sure if it wants to be a supermoto, a naked, or lean towards cruising, but it has more naked bike elements to me than anything else. And that supermoto upswept tail.
Where are you guys ? Whole day without you sucks.
Please review the actual cruiser in Ducati’s lineup. - The XDIAVEL S.
yes you are right, yesterday i saw the X-Diavel -- has front-foot-pegs of a proper cruiser as opposed to the regular Diavel
Honda rebel it a charme tooooo confortable if you switch seat with sw motech from europe
MASTODON!! 🤘🤘
Dont forget the Vulcan S ;)
They hate the Vulcan unfortunately (as well as the Bolt, Royal Enfield and anything with the power to kill you lol)
Honda V65 magna still destroys everything on this list with a higher top speed than any of these bikes and build quality that makes modern bikes feel cheap
Nah. Maybe an older vmax but not the new one, specially the diavel. Never ridden a rocket 3 so i couldn't vouch for it but 2500cc? I'm sure as hell it would have a higher top speed than a magna. Magna is still a great muscle cruiser though! I may be a harley guy since i was a kid but i'd love to see yamaha and honda revive the mighty vmax and the v65 magna. I'll be more excited for the magna because we still have a modern iteration of the vmax.
Rumor is, if your balls will blow in the breeze behind you (slip stream really), one can hit around 160~mph on a V-Max.
wow... no vulcan? I get the Vulcan s but those vulcan customs are crazy awesome and you can even throw them into the corners like sports bikes.. but instead lets talk about the scrambler or a Ducati as a cruiser...
How about a best cruisers for beginners video? :)
The bottom 3 should've been the top three. Nothing in more fun than diavel, a rocket 3, and a god damn balls to the walls vmax. This is coming from a harley guy.
Hmm kind of surprised the new Indian Chiefs didn't make the list.
Rebel1100 is 22K NZD. In New Zeeland, you get 1 bike. Just 1.
What do you guys think of the Yamaha Bolt?
Interesting that you chose the Street Scrambler over . . . say, the Street Twin or T 100, both of which (in my humble opinion) are much more "cruisery" for even less money.
The speedmaster would've been the right pick from the bonneville lineup.
@@rodrigoesmela3331 yes Speedmaster it is ! ... proper cuiser
The Street Scrambler (and by extension the Street Twin and T100) aren't really cruisers, the Bobber and Speedmaster are cruisers, i don't know why the Street Scrambler was mentioned to begin with, Spite was probably high when making the video lol.
Vtx 1300 for a couple grand Is pretty unbeatable all around.
Rocket 3 riders are usually 5'7 or less for some reason
Cool points for listening to Mastodon 👹
I was hoping to see the Yamaha XV950 Bolt on the list. Does it mean you don't think it's fun, or you simply forgot about it?
I fucking love Mastodon!
5:51 when they show a gen 1 V-Max instead of the gen 2 VMax. Also why does the first gen get no love on the channel.
They damn sure did. Those were some serious motorcycles as well.
They seem to believe anything with carbs isn’t worth owning.
Wow nice cool list of bikes that 90% of us can’t afford
yammie in my country motorcycle for me ho is 16 is 125cc what motorcycle should i get?
no bonneville speedmaster?
If the rocket 🚀 was in my price range I would love to buy it. Wouldn’t the M109R fall into this category as well?🧐
You'd think the c109 would, even though I think it got discontinued
@@chrishavill6458 I think you might be right.
Definitely in the category.
Kawasaki Vulcan 900 shoulda been on the list imo.
Yeah, love mine. I just "cruise" on it, not out to impress anybody. Just want to enjoy the day!
I’m looking at a 2012 Vulcan 900 custom with 9,600 miles for about $5000, is this a good deal? How does it compare to the bikes in the video? Any help is GREATLY appreciate!
@@nateh8636 Look up the book values, seems like a decent deal, pretty low mileage. Check the bike out thoroughly of course. I have the custom LT model and it suits me well.
@@2854Navman have you ever had a passenger along for the ride? How does it handle at highway speeds? I live in a rather rural area, and to get anywhere decent, I’d need to take a highway with speeds around 75-80 mph
@@nateh8636 handles a passenger okay. Runs good at 75-80.
