Yammie Noob, would you like to have a test ride on a Honda valkyrie? I have a 2014 valkyrie and it is a blast to ride imo.
As soon as you said "Midwest Cruiser Bro" I said to myself "oh Yammy, my follically challenged friend, you better tread lightly".
Am I spying the new desert sled in this video?
Yammie Noob you want to ride on my vmax
I'm a wholesome metric cruiser bro who waves to anyone on 2 wheels with a motor.
Even scooters?
@Sages604 That has more than 2 wheels, mate. you have a pair for each foot unless you only wear one which is kinda weird. heelies, maybe...
Just not trikes you run into them
Samuel Mos what state you live in?
"You meet the nicest people on a Honda"
This is a very complicated list of people who don't wave to me.
I wave at anybody on 2 wheels with a motor. Most wave back. Mid America metric bro.
I always do, but i dont drive a harley. HDs dont wave at me too 😔
@@cptodd1 fully agree
2 wheels, 3 wheels, I ALWAYS WAVE 👋🏾 always
@@JohnonUtube68 I will never nod at scooters...gotta draw the line somewhere lol
The Midwest Bro is spot on. I'm almost offended by the accuracy.
Yep....only difference is...I bought my street glide new. It wasn't much more expensive than the 5 year old one right next to it. But it came with a warranty. No accessories, no mods. Just me and the bike. Oh, and no true riding gear except a good pair of glasses. If I lay it down, I dont want to get back up. I'm already pretty jacked up, a lay down at highway speeds isn't something I want to feel for the rest of my life.
Lol!! Spot on for me.
Same here tbh lel
oh fuck I think I'm Midwest cruiser bro
It was funny cause he described my riding to a T but I run a Yamaha fz6r which just can’t cruise. I might just get a cruiser now so I can fully immerse in the culture
Harleys are a different grove all together. I ride sport bikes but when I tell my buddies I used to have a Superglide in my garage they almost always ask me why. I tell them my Harley was an always broken, slow, heavy, no handling, no stopping pig but it was also insanely fun to ride. If it's on two wheels, it's cool.
I'm the polar opposite I'm a die hard cruiser guy but once I get the cash I'll have a 90s cbr in my garage but for my first bike I'm hoping to snag a Yamaha xs650 bobber
That's strange I had a superglide and it was pretty reliable. Then again it wasn't carbed. Have a street bob now and no issues either. Had an R1 before making the switch. Love all 3 bikes
I'm the last guy. I have a bike, ride it almost everywhere. I could care less about being in a group or going to meet ups. I'll wave at you, I'm polite but it doesn't consume me.
YUP.
Yeah just ride your damn bike and enjoy yourself
same
Same
Ditto
"A guy can have a motorcycle without having it consume his entire life."
Sadly, theses bikers are rare.
R' merac Soon that will be three bikes and you know it
Haha. I have 3 . Only cuz I dont have 4 anymore
@RG Nah, one for each purpose, you know how it works :D
what? At the very least 50% are like that. If not 90%.
The guys to whom bike is their life are definitely less than 1 in 10
Manscaped is a sponsor..lol..enough said.
The funny thing is that you said for almost every type of cruiser bro “he just doesn’t care” LOL.
But being honest, I’m definitely the last. Used HD Fatboy, ride to work and some on the weekends. It’s therapy. And I love all motorcycles...street, cruisers, doesn’t matter. We’re all in this thing together
I'm with you! Been riding an Honda Vfr800 for 10 years, just bought a HD Road King. I ride because I love it. Give me whatever type of bike and I'll be happy!!
Same, I've ended up with several Honda & Harley cruisers but my heart is still in Sports bikes.
Riding for 40 all statements on harley quality are correct. BUT” I noticed these non us bikes (cruisers) just can’t stop trying to look like our American classic. That’s because it’s the original. So I think that’s why we put up with the quality problem. Stay strong USA ridin boys
My endgame is to have a bagger, liter bike and a 2 stroke dirtbike in the same garage.
I rode sport bikes when I was younger but I love my Harley. My brother hacks on me because he wants me to buy an Indian/ Polaris. I really don't care how people view me for riding a Harley. I bought it because "I" liked it. I don't buy bikes, atv's or whatever based on what others like. That being said, you guys are pretty funny. Keep it up
I loved my Harley Road Glide when I owned it but had to sell it because it was too much bike for me and I stopped touring.
In 20 years I could see myself riding a Road King again, if Harley Davidson Company lasts that long lol
I’m the 80’s metric cruiser because I’m broke dude. I enjoy my ride even if it doesn’t please everybody else.
Me too, but also Muscle cruiser guy. Paid $2800 for my Vmax
I'm lookin for a used mid 2000 vstar 1100 I'll be happy with that and probably Bob it 🤪 would I like a harley sure but not worth the price to me
I have an 80's metric cruiser. I recently got a newer fz09, but I just cant part with my old bike. nothing wrong with old bikes if you know how to keep them on the road
Me too. Always have been, always wil be\,,/
Nah those are the cool right on dude
I've been a muscle cruiser bro, a metric cruiser bro, an accessory cruiser bro (my bike is 1 of a kind!), and a $40K Harley bro (also had a 2001 Ford F-150 Crew Cab Harley Edition which was basically a Ford F-150 with a Harley badge and an orange pinstripe down the side). But I don't care what kind of bro you are, if you're on 2 wheels, you're my bro!
So no trikes?
@@LeeKirkman88 Ha! No - no trikes! Sidecars are acceptable though! ;)
Trikes are acceptable if you're pushing 80 and can't balance on 2 anymore. Spyders are not included in the conversation though and are an abomination lol
@@Steve61084 Sidecar accomplishes the same as a trike for the 80 year old who can't stand upright anymore, more storage space (you can carry your heart monitor and a medical kit - lol) and it looks a lot cooler! And it costs less! Trike conversions are ridiculously expensive!
Very true lol. I just know if I see a really old man on a harley or goldwing trike I wouldn't give him too much hell.
"A guy can have a motorcycle without having it consume his entire life."
Um, I ride a lot, but to me a car should only be used for grocery getting lol You'd save a lot of money that way. Not sure why people think it's unnecessary to ride a motorcycle a lot.
Its literally more necessary if you really break it down
The gas mileage alone got me bacl into wanting to ride, I plan to get the beginner, Honda Rebel 500 and will keep It for evening rides alone a beach or somewhere quiet for a sunset to enjoy the bike even after I get an advance bike.
At present I'm riding a Harley, but I consider myself a Motorcyclist and any one on two wheels, even scooters, are alright with me.
Funny how most moto guys in USA look down on scooters even if it's a burgman 600! Can't we all just get along 🤣.. love my little 50cc scooter but getting back into motorcycles definitely will buy metric something like a v Star shadow or boulevard.. of course hardcore Harley guys will look down on me.. but I don't care.. I like reliable and affordable..over sitting on the side of the road...BTW in Europe and Asia scooters are considered cool... And I definitely love them also
I don't mind sccoters but those EV that every dumb F in california have oh lord
I just can't stand it xD
Im a Harley rider, I always wave back it's just common courtesy
And... as a Honda rider.... I always wave back, brother !!
Yessir, spot on
+1. Occasionally I miss a wave due to spacin' out. Feel bad.
All this waving shows the non-riding public we are together.
Fk w/ us & you may have trouble.
I ride Harley and wave at everyone on 2 wheels... it's not about what your riding.. it's about enjoying the freedom of riding..
✋
keanu reeves is the only perfect human.
Agree♥️♥️♥️
You are breathtaking!
OH MY GOD YES
Keanu Reevs X Spamie pubes thighs
You and Keanu should do a collab video together. With Arch motorcycles. That would be LIT🔥🔥🔥
Bought a Honda Shadow for my first cruiser earlier this year and couldn't be happier!
I'm the "I bought a bike because it was cheaper and less consuming than a car" type
That’s what I told the wife. Cheaper than a second car. :-)
Until later on with wisdom you admit it was more logical to buy a honda civic or toyota corrolla.
@@stoundingresults logic? Lol. Nothing logical about a motorcycle
"A guy can have a motorcycle and it doesn't have to consume his entire life" I don't believe this statement.
You obviously bought the wrong bike if it consumes your life! Or you wrecked one and THAT consumed your life-RIP.
@@GraveDigger388 in style tho
Not only that, but he said it with a pic of Keanu Reeves sitting on a motorcycle that the MOTORCYCLE COMPANY HE OWNS makes.
@@jekylld8414 and one of these motorcycle runs about $78k and up...😐
I have a Suzuki C50t, wear a full face helmet, most of my riding is to and from work and this statement you don't believe in fits me to a T.
Never heard a mention of a GoldWing ! Rode it everywhere for 20 years. Got tired of getting stuck on dirt roads now that I’m almost 70 - traded it for a KLR 650 !
Hell ya!
Goldwings are Touring Broomers (Bro + Boomer = Broomer)
Did the Goldwing actually have a reverse gear? That is what I heard somewhere. They looked like the most comfortable bikes.
@@glennduke5853 some do, some don’t. Most of the new ones do.
I’m 81 should I look at this bike ?
I’ve ridden since I was 14 years old. My first bike was a Honda 65. After that I rode a Suzuki GS 550, a Sportster, and a Yamaha V Star 650.
I’m now 66 years old and a couple months ago traded the Yamaha for a Heritage Softtail. Feels good to be back on a Harley. I say ride what you like and enjoy the two wheel fellowship.
Nine not sure who you’ve been around, but I’m not like that.
I've enjoyed your vids for a while. I have experience in two of you cruiser categories. I qualified as Metric Cruise Bro twice. Once with an 04 V Star and once with an 05 Road Star. Don's judge too quickly on reliability. Both of them were mechanical nightmares that saw as much jack stand time as on the road. I now have an 09 Road King putting me into Midwest Cruiser Bro domain. Wasn't specifically looking for a Harley, but it was in good shape at a good price. I've had it for three years and all I've done is regular maintenance and replaced the chain tensioner. I don't care what you ride as long s you're on two wheels and you not being a douche. Keep posting, Yammie Noob!
He actually can, the stats prove the metrics are more reliable.
“Some of them are even bigger hooligans than your average GSXR flip flop bro”
V-Rod owner here. I feel personally attacked by this very relatable content 😂
Love the v-rod its the best harley out there if you ask me but my Yamaha V-max walks on V-rods!
All love, no hate :D
V rod here too. Harley guys act like I can't be in their club. I prefer it that way.
As a late 20s cruiser bro, I've always respected your channel popa yam. But you missed by far the most insane member of the cruiser community: the Dyna Stunter bro. These absolute maniacs will squid out just as hard as any sport or super Moto rider, but when they crack dank nooners they're doing it on a 600lb suicide machine that has no business even imagining it's front wheel off the ground
In the wild, the only examples of this bro are seen either leaving the bar or riding in the copter late night after yet more "socializing"
@@SirLoinofBeef235 that shit funny !!!
Dank nooners on a 600lb suicide machine 😂
I was looking for this comment. Stunting baggers is the new thing. Yam fucked up.
As an early 20s cruiser bro in the exact situation as you. I agree 900% when I was stationed in Hawaii those Diehard Dyna Bois were a nightmare.
I’ve found that if you’re into bikes, you probly fit into several of these categories at different points in your life. I’ve done dirt, metric, harley and back to metric again. The one constant is I’ve loved whatever I was riding at the moment.
Your cruiser videos are always on point. My brother has blown tons on his Harley over the years. Next bike will be a sport but for now I just love riding a comfy metric without it always screwing me without asking.
I'm a cruiser bro myself, thanks for adding another Cruiser video. I sub to your Channel about 2 months ago you're awesome keep up the good work man.
scream bro I ride a Suzuki savage 650. Sounds like a sick boat engine but runs great.
Cruiser whoolies are a blast.
@@CR-kr9cs WHOOOligans!
Nice bro.
My wife has a thumper as well. She loves it
Cruiser bro here! '13 Victory Highball
Dang I didn’t know I was a Midwest cruiser bro. You learn something every day
Karson Street there's a nation of us my friend. FullFaceShoeiForever. FFSF!
Me neither, but as said, you learn every day...
Right there with ye! We must be great!
Ope.
Same here. I was worried I didn't fit in any category up until the end, then the Midwest cruiser bro was listed and it felt like home.
My dad is a cruiser bro, he waves to riders, wholesome, the bike doesn't consume his life. But it is a very fun machine he likes to play with. He had all the gear and wears it all the time, sometimes he wears more modern equipment but he likes the bucket helmets. He is a really cool dude.
I once went to Daytona speed week. Every street was lined with parked Harleys, tens of thousands of them. Soon I realised that most had been trailered to town, not ridden. In fact owning a Harley is more about joining a club than riding which I think a lot of them don't enjoy. Not surprising as hogs have been truly described as a piece of agricultural machinery disguised as a motorcycle.
dude i live in daytona (aka dirtona) and most of the locals hate bike week. it's just a bunch of old boomers flaunting their money and riding drunk.
Now the takeaway from this is that all those posers that buy Harleys eventually find them collecting dust in the barn or garage and decide to sell them and you can outright steal them Harley's never die they just need a little TLC hahaha
True for the most part!!! I ride the shit out of mine, 4years old never been on a trailer, dont do those bike week gigs, or sturgis, a loner for the most part, I love my freedom and solitude, 700 to a thousand mile ride isnt rare on a whim , it's about the freedom and the folks one meets on the road, not about getting in a crowd of thousands to measure pecker size lol
30k and 300$ in leather dont make you a biker, lots of posers out there
HDs are more like riding a paint shaker.
Then there's the judgemental, manscaping list-maker. :-D
Everything he said can be said about sport bike riders......
Exactly. VMax guy here.
Thank you for appreciating the metric bros. We aren't the most well liked, but we have fun and enjoy ourselves.
Best cruiser i had was the raider...1900cc was my fist bike. Then I grew balls, gave my wife my purse and got an r1. It like to see a cruiser do 180
Harley Cruiser bro here!! 🖕🖕 lol
Nothing more American than buying Japanese! Tell the HD shit talkers to get an American cell phone and TV before they talk. I ride an SR400 and Yamaha Bolt and fit right in.
@@HooDRidEWhiteY Kawa Vulcan S650 here. Metric Cruiser! I wave at everyone ;-) Spastically until either they flip me off or wave back ;-)
Yep I rode Honda’s for about 30 years. With my age being a factor I’ve settled down to a 2010 Harley cruiser. It felt like a slug at first then getting use to the weight. After a couple months I get around ok but I need more practice at slow speeds.
Great video. Spot on. I opted for the BMW K1200LT. And, yes, I had a Rocket III and a Victory Sport Cruiser. Loved them all. Was going for a Harley and the BMW won, Reliability for me is the most important now.
I rented a harley road king this past weekend, first time on a cruiser, and it was a transformative experience. I definitely respect the cruiser life now.
The Road King is too rational and all-around competent to really qualify as a cruiser. It's what used to just be called "a motorcycle".
Whammy Lube, please never stop putting classical or baroque in the background of your videos.
Amen
Yes, sophisticated.
I read that as classic barbecue
Idk, the harpsicord pisses me off.
Makes me as a rider feel superior to these normies.. driving cars ha who do they think they are. Jk 😂
I'm from Germany and I'm doing my A1 license and i bought a daelim 125ccm f im really excited!
is there a limit on the size of the engine beginners are allowed to have in Germany? we have no limits here for beginners!
I have no idea. But i think there are.
As an Ohioan, we appreciate the spread of the Midwest Cruiser knowledge
The $40,000 harley dude is the most important. Afterall he's usually the guy with the 20 yo harley in his garagre with 5,000 miles on it because he washed it more than her rode it.
Hey, you been peekin?
Mine cost me 30k new in 2009. It's a matte black (denim black) Fat Bob it's now done 65,000ks and i ride it in the rain so its only been washed probably 4 times. And I wave to anyone in 2 wheels. Probably because I also have 2 Vespa's and 2 Lambretta's I ride.
Vinnie Conklin I ride a $41000 2016 Ultra Limited CVO with 58000 miles. Don’t wash it often enough but it is pretty when it’s clean.
I wasnt stupid enough to buy a new Harley for $32k or higher. I have had a load of new motorcycles including Honda, Yamaha, Harley (very first bike was bought new) and Suzuki. I currently own a 2018 VMax and 2016 Ultra Limited. The Ultra Limited was bought in Dec 2019 for $18k OTD with 15 miles on it. The bike is a money pit, but I knew that before I bought it. I only bought it because it was like getting a new Harley for half the price of new. Of all the bikes I ever owned, the only one I regret selling was my 2006 Hayabusa Limited. Absolutely phenomenal bike. Of all the bikes I have ever owned that I regretted, it would have to be the Harleys. Performance is shit, expensive to maintain, need to replace a million parts and has a higher breakdown rate.
Is a 2019 Fat Boy for 19,000 good or not?
I have a 2014 Harley Street Glide. I guess you'll categorize me as the 40k cruiser bro.But that cant be further from the truth. You wanna hate on Harley guys be correct. I'm a blue collar Mechanic that loves to ride. I grew up on crotch rockets but at my age I can no longer tolerate being bent into the fetal position for any length of time. However I still love to ride and wave at anyone on two wheels and will stop to help you if your broke down so if ya wanna dirt on people who ride something other than a crotch rocket you should remember that no matter what we ride we all share the same love of being free and in the wind. Ride safe
All this guy does is bag on HD for some reason, i don't understand the hate.
TekZombi I think he’s just biased because he pretty much only rides sport bikes.
Yep I use to ride sport bikes and still own a honda cb 919 hornet naked bike but also have my street glide that I cruse with the wife on and ride with my cuz he also owns a sport bike and a big cruiser. We ride bc we love to. I got rid of my full on r bikes bc I also dont have the desire for the riding position any longer. I wave at anyone on two wheels and dont judge u by what u ride. I might by how u ride bc goon riding is stupid and no place on public streets but what u ride is your choice. But I do love how some of the so called sport bike guys always make out harley riders to be the ass holes but the bash on the harley guys in videos so who is the ass hole exactly?
@@TekZombi I see more and more you tube channels that just want to hate on Harley guys. They say we are all old and slow. They may be right but I have riden everything on two wheels from the time I was young but this goon wants to categorize me because as I've GROWN UP my tastes have changed. I still love riding and anyone who rides is a kindred spirit in my mind I dont care if you ride a Honda Rebel I'll wave at you or help you if I can. We are all brothers and sisters in my opinion. Incidentally if we pay attention to this guys handle he does have NOOB in his name which says to me he hasn't been riding much of anything for very long.
I grew up riding whatever I could afford. Dirt bikes, Japanese street bikes, crotch rockets, whatever i could, until i could afford a Harley. Then i never looked back. Not because I thought it would make me more cool or more badass than anyone else, but because thats what i like. I had a group of friends that all rode together for several years. Myself and a couple others had Harleys, a couple guys had rockets, one had a custom built chopper, one a home built cb 750 cafe racer, and one guy had an 81 Goldwing. None of us cared what the others were riding. All we cared about is that we were riding together. We were family. Brothers and sisters. If one of us broke down, the rest were right there trying to help get the bike going again. If one of us needed a bike, someone else had one to loan him, just to keep him on the road. We rode together, we drank together, laughed together, and when tragedy struck we, cried and hurt together. I dont know why this guy feels like he has to bash on Harley, and Harley owners. I cant help but think that limited experience in motorcycle community mostly comes from being to scared to venture far from his small corner of the world......and Sons of Anarchy episodes. Hopefully when he grows up, he will have the chance to experience the camaraderie and brotherhood, that the majority of us have had the pleasure of enjoying throughout our years of riding. No matter what color we bleed!
I’m the Midwest cruiser dude vibe but with a metric cruiser :)
Same fam
While I am bikeless now, I was a midwestern 80’s metric cruiser bro. Paid $1k for it, wore a full face shoei helmet, and commuted to work on it in MN and enjoyed sweet corn and beer on the weekends.
mn here too
Metric/midwest cruiser bro got a Yamaha vstar simple effective an comfortable only paid 2500 just love the freedom of two wheels
Metric/Midwest cruiser bro here. 2012 shadow phantom 750
Love the channel/content and always get a good chuckle.
Keep it up, Sir Yam
Me too, 2005 Suzuki M50
Metric with the Midwest mindset. Even though I’m not from there haha 2016 shadow phantom and I couldn’t be happier with it!
Me too 2010 XV Roadliner
17 Yamaha Bolt here. Just wanna go out and cruise. Wouldn't mind joining a local club, but they are all harley and leather.
Yammie Noob my dude. Just recently subscribed so forgive me for the late response as I'm just catching up on your videos but if you're ever in upstate NY like for the upcoming Americade event next month I just got a 2020 Vmax if you wanna take my little scoot scoot for a ride. Would be awesome.
I’m a new cruiser bro with 5 days on the seat that’s just happy to ride
Hell yea. I got my first bike a few months ago. I just turned 50 I only wish I had gotten one sooner. Be safe and enjoy the ride
Ride safe!
Ride an Indian and wave to everyone that's on 2 wheels..everyone is a bro :).
Every indian rider i know is really humble and wholesome
I have a "discontinued indian" as I ride my victory like I stole it, still polaris products. I still feel since they are producing indian they should reintroduce victory, would still be more American than a harley is anymore.
@@andrewsavage1872 love Victory! I still hope to buy an 8 Ball as a bar hopper - tho I have 16 apes on my Chief, I feel like it’s a lot bigger and cumbersome than some 8 balls I’ve seen. I wish they brought Vic’s back too.
@@bobwayne17 oddly enough, mine is an 05 Vegas 8ball, with the "baby" freedom 92ci. It is more willing to cruise at 100+ than I am lmao.
Its black upon black, upon black. I still have my beginner bike too, 98 Suzuki vs800. It was a gift from my brother before he passed away at 25. No amount of money in the world would pry that bike from me, it's going to get rebuilt and bobbed this winter.
🙋🏻♂️
I’m a cruiser bro, I bought a ‘94 Honda Shadow for 1,400 and I’m still happy with it. Just put white walls on it last weekend and the compliments keep on comin. 😎
If I manage to find white walls for my Aero 750 here in Serbia, I'm gonna be like unicorn...
hey yammy love your shows keep them coming bro ..
Started out 40 years ago as “broke” 80’s cruiser guy... I’ve run the gamut over the years From an H1triple two stroke to a couple XS400’s to a kz11, a GS11GK, VF1000R, ZX11, finally graduated to buying a new FJR and now have settled down with a C50 boulevard that is a bit tame but keeps me safe and ticket-free. Like someone else said: I’m the Lone Wolf category... I have always had a company truck and generally have been a bike only guy who does epic relocation tours about every half decade, ride when and where I want, got the camping gear to pull up stops and roam, but also just enjoy going for groceries, being stoic and prepared for rain or cold. The cruiser, which performance-wise is probably the worst of the bikes I’ve owned, suits my needs and gets more spectator love than any of the others...it used to amuse me when they’d oooh and ahhh over the Boulevard and completely ignore the costly bad ass FJR in bright red next to it.
Post Divorce, Bankruptcy, and a courtesy-of-Covid stroke, I’m just glad to ride...anything... and I guess I’ll be the “broke metric bro” all over again. (Although, thanks to the divorce, I’ve once again got my eye on the market for a sweet deal on the next one).
Where my metric cruiser bros at?
Vulcan gang 💯
Kawasaki Vulcan 900's Rule
Yeah buddy! 09 Vulcan 900 here!
Ought to be my first bike. Can't wait
Love my Vulcan 2000
Boulevard c50
I ride a cruiser, I’ll never think sport bikes are cooler. I look at cruisers as hot rods or muscle cars - slower than a sports car, but you buy them for the torque, look, and sound.
I am definitely open to trying a sport bike, but I rather hit a track. No interest in riding a sport bike maxed out on the roads with other cars around. It’s hard enough not to speed on my 550lb 1200cc small v twin
I started on a 2001 intruder volusia. Working on getting a m109r boss. If I get it I'll hit yammi up. 1800cc masterpiece
You need to try a naked bike with a proper exhaust. Torque, sound, looks, reliability, comfort, speed, price it got it all.
I'd switch from my cruiser to a liter bike.. it's all about the rider..
I am a Japanese girl living in Scotland.
As a former bosozoku girl I have always ridden powerful cruisers that I have stripped down to a custom bobber.
I am currently on a personally modded 96ci FXDB Street Bob but I have become increasingly disillusioned with Harley's build quality and innovation.
When lockdown is over I am buying a Yamaha XV1900 and doing a custom black bobber job on it.
Did you just say your 1200cc v-twin is small? I get it, there are bigger cruiser engines out there, but just a friendly reminder - I am a european 125cc A1 wretched cruiser bro :D And I still ride the bigger roads and struggle to keep up with the traffic, even though the sound it makes at 60mph makes me think of farting out broken piston pieces through the exhaust.
Started on an 85 Shadow 700. Still have her in the garage but she hasn’t ran in a couple years. Just last year picked up an 06 VTX1800N. That was a huge jump in power. The VTX feels like it was custom built for me even though it’s stock. Can’t imagine going back down to a smaller bike now.
I got the same one except mines a 1800s
My first bike was a 2004 Honda Shadow VT 1100 Sabre. I loved that thing. It was light-years ahead of my Indian FTR 1200 in comfort.
Let’s not forget the “I can only afford the insurance on a cruiser bro” which is me
Aidan Wente I need insurance for my bike? Next thing you’re gonna tell me is that I need a Motorcycle endorsement on my DL, also. Geez.
Yeah, the insurance is a good thing. Registration is completely optional. 😂🤣
Ah, the Bach Cello Suite.... Love the fact that classical is always the background.
Kiyanush Karanjia yeah he had Chopin-nocturne no.2 in e flat in the “Bach”round for a lot of the videos. Very soothing.
Bach is the shizz
Aahhhh the best lullaby!!😍😍
Cello concerto in g major, my favorite
We’re classy here... we don’t like videos with random guitar riffs from uncle joes midlife crisis garage band.
I have the original Vmax competition, which is so often forgotten these days the Sabre. 125hp and 75ftlb isnt crazy by todays standards but she still pulls a 2 second 0-60 if youre crazy enough to try she taps out over 150, not to bad for a bike older than most of the guys watching me from their gxrs
The midwest one got me laughing hard. I can relate to it.
I was waiting for you to describe me and low and behold I am totally Midwest Cruiser Bro. LMAO. Great stuff!
You forgot one of the bigger groups. I've owned 38 (street legal) bikes. Mostly Japanese, but there have been Harleys and even a Moto Guzzi. Most of my bikes were in the sport category until I was in my mid-40s, then my back just couldn't take it anymore. At 54 I'm nowhere near ready to quit riding, and the metric cruisers fit my life now. My V Star 1300 tourer still runs 13 second quarter miles, so it's not fast but it's still quick enough to be entertaining. It stopped and is around a hundred and thirty unless you're the windshield on and then it's 120s. It's comfortable, reliable, and not as overpriced as a Harley. So I guess put me in the Aging motorcyclist, midwest, metric cruiser list. I think you'll find there's a lot of us out there.
Had 1 go by me today, not sure of the year but saw the badging. saw it coming in my mirror and thought fuckin nice looking bike.
solid! love these
I'm 100% the midwest cruiser, everything you said about that was dead on!
You forgot Driveway bike washing, 0 mile riding bro, Cruiser hooligan bro, Balding mid 60's Rap-blaring big-wheel-bagger bro, 50 miles per year but always posturing in a cut at the bar bro... I'll stop there for now. There is half of another video for ya pappa Yam.
Me? I'm a sportster bro... A breed unto itself
Sportster bro here too 🖐️😁
I own a nightster, and love it.
But would always take back my old 82 kz 750.
But in general, I'm a bike bro.
Love em all.
I bought the Honda 😀and now I can smile . ( See old ads fro explanations)
Sportsters are great. I've ridden both Harleys and Metric bikes.
I clean and polish my superglide alot. Only ride couple of hundred miles a year. And I ride alone. Where do I stand as a 56 year old with hair on my head.
"Metric cruisers" are called metric not because they define their displacement in cubic centimeters (Harley also does this with a lot of their bikes like the 883 and 1200), but because the nuts and bolts and other fasteners of the bikes are in metric (centimeter, millimeter) , rather than standard, sizes. Harleys historically used standard US sizes (inches, feet, etc...). Truth be told, though, even Harley now uses a lot of metric fasteners in its bikes.
The more you know. 🤔
Yup! Now where the EF did I leave the 10mm?!!
Thank u captain obvious
Recently had to adjust my brake and clutch cables after a handlebar swap. Bolts are 12mm.
883 and 1200 are ORIGINAL.
Definitely a cruiser bro. Riding a 2016 Springfield that has custom paint, stage 2 cam upgrade with Tab mufflers, Arlen Ness HO filter, Dyna Jet Power Vision tunes etc.This thing is plenty fast snd pulls like a bull. My first road bike was a
KZ 900, wish I still dad it!
The other day i had 4 Harley cruiser bro's actually do the two fingers towards the road to me first! Absolutely floored me while i was riding my NC750 with a high vis vest and full riding gear.
I can say that after a long time of wanting a bike I was finally able to buy one I got a Vulcan s and I’m striving to be the bro that “rides the hell out of his bike bro” I just want to chill and ride around this is my 1st bike and so far no regrets the only one is not buying it sooner!
I’ve got an 03 Heritage Softail Classic and the bike is getting ready for a 1500 mile journey to and from Myrtle Beach to Ohio,Ride Safe my Bros!
First bike was a 2014 Yamaha Bolt. Then I got a 2015 Kawasaki Vulcan.
Now I'm quite happy with my 2021 Sportster S. I ran a 10.93 @ 119mph with it last Sunday... 10 second stock Harley, that's why I bought it.
I live with a speed cruiser bro and he’s as much of a goblin as I am with my sports bike. He just got the FXDR and is loving it. I sent him this video and he just cackled.
I am a Japanese girl living in Scotland.
As a former bosozoku girl I have always ridden powerful cruisers that I have stripped down to a custom bobber.
I am currently on a personally modded 96ci FXDB Street Bob but I have become increasingly disillusioned with Harley's build quality and innovation.
When lockdown is over I am buying a Yamaha XV1900 and doing a custom black bobber job on it.
I love riding a Harley....hate the culture around them. All I’ve ever had was a Harley but I never fit into the black leather crowd and their Halloween costumes. I’ve always rode my Harley and done my own thing
I’m a Harley guy as well.... and fit in to your category as well... I think the costumes are hilarious especially the his and her match crap!
I am sort of with you man, I ride a BMW 09 1200rt, used to ride Japanese, British and a Harley in the 70's, my bike is real quiet and I do wear a leather jacket and pants in the winter here in south Tx, I'm not trying to fit into any bike group, just have fun and feel free riding, I could not afford even a used Harley or I'd be on one, I can't believe how much even the older one's cost, Japanese bikes cost so much less and can look just like a Harley, the Yamaha's have the V Star which looks the most and has the very best Harley sound but my bike was in my price range and BMW's just look so odd even to me but I sure do get an awful lot of compliments on it from every one, it looks black but is a very, very dark metallic grey, I don't like the color at all, I like cherry red or candy apple red better but I didn't buy it new, BMW's are so darned advanced and so are Honda Goldwings now, have fun and stay safe all.
That's sexy
Me too. Bought a street bob 4 years ago and have ZERO harley friends. Lots of Ducati and sport bike friends but after 4 years have never once ridden with another Harley.
@ I am definitely not a " biker" that's for sure. I'm just a farm boy who enjoys riding a Harley. I can climb off a tractor in overalls and go right to riding a Harley without having to change clothes. I will never understand the biker thing. A " motorcyclist" as you say is more fitting. Been that way for the 17 years I've been riding a HD. As a result I usually ride alone though because I don't fit in with the " bikers"
Good job kid. I'm an old guy now, bought the last sportster. Been twenty five years since I had a bike and I'm running out of "somedays". It's a lot of fun. I really enjoyed this video.
You have a good way of doing things so I subscribe to your channel
Midwest cruiser bro here used road glide only Harley shirt I own is one dealership gave me free when I bought it 👍
right? love how he got that so accurate
lmao im the same way only have the shirts from bikes ive bought
Ohio?
from wisco, i dont have any motorcycle related shirts. i ride my bike everywhere and im not even old enough to drink...legally. but like everything else, anybody here thats not old and cranky we really dont giva damn who we ride with. from group rides with dual sports and cruisers. its awesome. oh and i ride a bobbed out 81 honda.
You got a shirt? I got a bell xD
Lol I'm the last one. I've never identified with any of the lists, kind of fun when you do. Keep it up yammers
😂 brilliant, we’ll said, I’m a mixture of so many of those you’ve just described except I own the R18 Classic!! Wonder where you would place me and my bike in your category?? 😂
I’m grateful to have found a diverse group of super chill folks on a pretty diverse group of bikes. Both men and women on a mix of sport bikes, cruisers, nakeds, cafe racers and supermotos. We’re a mixed bunch and it’s awesome. We occasionally even borrow each other’s bikes when we want to change pace
Great laugh, as always, Yam! Cheers from the Land Of The Triumph ;)!
That would be Thailand then!
Many others and myself rode sportbikes in our younger days. We would do good at riding them for about 5 mins now. When you kiddies get older, you will understand that & when you are really old you transfer to a trike. Each bike is made for a different purpose. I can average around 400 to 700 miles on a weekend ride and can ride across country. As long as your knees are in the wind and you enjoy it; doesn't matter what you are riding. Respect and Ride Safe
I'm 56 and can never get the rush out of my blood. HD putting out 115 HP so it's fun as well.
Love your suggestions.
Metric Cruiser Bro for life! My first bike was a 750 shadow, then made a big jump up to a yamaha raider. Now I'm looking into a Intruder 1400 because it only weighs like 20 lbs more than my shadow did but should give me the passing power it lacked. Also, I always heard the 40k Harley Bros referred to as RUB's (Rich Urban Bikers).
You also forgot the "giant bigwheel bro", his favorite memories were cruising his bigwheel in the kindergarten so he build a giant one for 40k out of a Harley bagger and is riding around all proud ... even though everyone can see its a giant bigwheel.
So many sum genres missed! Bobber bro, chopper camp out bro, big bright giant speaker bagger (should I say dawg)..
Always see those on trailers. Everyone knows they aren't real riders
For the record, as a British Cruiser Dude, at least in the heartland of this great Nation, we are so few and far between with such an awesome beast, that we are accepted by all the other Cruiser Dudes, or at least all that we would ever want to associate with. Of course with the twin parallel, we are often asked if our bikes are already running because they purr so perfectly.
my Hoodlum is so quiet at idle, that when I'm on a rideout I have to revbomb it just to hear (or rather feel) the engine and make sure it's actually running.
Haha nailed it! I ride a Honda Shadow with High vis gear. Love your channel.
I just got introduced to your channel and I am hooked in. I own a 2018 HD Fatbob 107 in eastern long island, if you ever want ride a muscle crusier know you have a bike.
Muscle cruiser bro here, you forgot the Suzuki m109r great muscle cruiser and a fairly common one due to its price.
Or the Yamaha Warrior.
I love my 109r. They are such a fun bike. I have one of only a few in my area and constantly get stopped and asked about it.
I want an M109r so bad
@@ericonnen4367 I had wanted one the first time I saw one and didn't even know what it was for a bike. I saw one in pictures a friend took on Facebook and ended up finding one after browsing a few area dealerships websites while looking for a new bike
My brother had the m109, he's now happily saddled up on a v rod muscle.
Come to the netherlands, you may ride my MT-01, would love to see the reactions of it, its a torque sport bike which revs pretty low and has badass characteristics.
🤣🤣 you put out some goofy videos, kinda unique, definitely keeps me watching lol. You did forget the “club cruiser bro”, kinda like me... sorta. Loves being part of something “elite”, almost always rides an “American cruiser”, doesn’t give too many people acknowledgement outside of my own club, and is slightly out of touch with society... but it’s ok because I have my own “secrete society” that loves me for me, and I don’t have to be socially accepted to the rest of the world.
Im so a mid west cruiser bro on my Street Glide that I picked up used..... too funny and too accurate..... gotta love Yammie. ... sounded like he knows me from his perfect description
I know harley's are an easy target, but I've got a 2006 softail with 78k miles on it, no major engine issues. Enjoyed your video tho.
@gemini232003 He is
You can come ride my Magna. But once you do you’ll want a v4
Magnas are great, eh?
firehunter988 I got a magna too and love it to death, that v4 power is awesome
94 magna bobbed out 👌🏼
I owned a 96 Magna for 17 years. Broke the speedometer cable, replaced tires and changed the oil. Ran like a champ. Muscle bike for sure
Just got a 650 vstar yamaha. It's beautiful and rides pretty good. Love ridin
I got a 09 Suzuki boulevard 800 in the classic but more torque C50 edition. Comfortable and fun. It’s my first bike and it’s fun and not too heavy.
I own Harley and a Buell, I ride with both groups and wave to everyone.
We're all out there the same reason.
And that guy that likes cruisers because theyre loud
Sounder Cruiser.
My friend, an r1 with full race headers and flow through exhaust is way louder than ANY cruiser. I know I've had the r1 with said setup, and have a harley with full Vance and Hines exhaust...
Sup Yamz! I am on my second bike first was sports bike a cbr250, loved the look and style handling still want another 650 but I know have a Shadow Spirit 1100 and I'm in love with it! I just drove a Victory 92v 1650 cc and that was FUN I like all bikes!
I’m a metric and muscle cruiser bro in one! My first motorcycle is a 2018 Suzuki M109R. I wave to as many 2 wheeled vehicles as I can.
Kawasaki cruiser bro here.2014 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 custom. Love the comfort, price, and lack of maintenance.
Kawasaki Vulcan 900's Rule
Im a cruiser rider and this is so true. The vid is really funny bro
Ty for this video my younger brother is a full on HD bro and I got vulcan 800 I laugh everytime he gets started 😂
Guess I’m a Midwest Cruiser Dude😂 nice video bro, spot on!!
