Every time I see the Triumph Speedmaster I have this feeling that I need it :) That engine is a gem.
If you’re tall changing the handlebars are a must, otherwise they bump into ur knees
I feel the same but about the bobber - same bike pretty much
R12 looking amazing. Saw one in the box couple of weeks ago. So small and compact. Can't wait to put a leg over.
As a sport guy who rides an MT09 the only cruiser kind of bike that interest me is the Indian scout bobber & Diavel X
Chief bobber would be better than scout 😉
Then spring of 2018 I was in the market for a new touring bike. Crap... most of them were in the neighborhood of what my 2018 F150 cost ! I found a new 2016 Triumph trophy SE and saved 10K over the next closest bike I was looking at. I still ride & love my TTSE, and the 10K pays for a lot of long trips.
I'm looking for a 2018 Yamaha Eluder (Bagger) - they are awesome and can be had for around $14K (US)
I was surprised the R18 Roctane didn’t make the list. It is a clear competitor of the Harleys and seems to be the best version of the R18 so far. Given that it has a slightly different setup than any previous R18, it seems ignored by the motorcycle community. Maybe it’s because I’m getting older, but it has topped the RnineT (or R12) at the top of my list for next bike.
Love the Triumphs! They are the best.
Harley definitely did not have me in mind as a customer when they designed this thing….
BMW and RE are going in the right direction
I love how HD sincerely believes that a £40k carbon farkle clad bike, that weighs as much as a barn, is the solution for the dire predicament they've found themselves in 😂
Yeah their management is completely clueless! 🙂
Bought an Eliminator 450 back in November. I absolutely love it. More so than any bike I've had before. And to me, it is THE urban cruiser but more than capale of the twisting highways and the interstate.
Great little bike! Cheers
I rode a CVO ST. It's the best out of the box bike I have ever rode. Too bad it costs too much.
Over 350kg for a bike is insane. Heaviest bike I've ever owned was an s1000rr and found that a bit lardy.
Can't wait to try the MotoMorini Calibro 650
R12 small? It has two cinderblocks sticking out the side of the bike! Already have an interceptor, so I don't need any other these.
The Triumph Bobber is just stunning in that Metallic Purple. The R12 in Bordeaux also looks great but the mids might be to tight for me. I don't thing the HD models are really in the same genre.
The speedmaster is a beauty and a beast!
The Kawasaki eliminator is a fantasic bike. The eliminator is a naked sport bike dressing up kinda like a cruiser. Which means its actually a great bike to ride and it looks fantastic. Unlike the honda rebel which has the quality and power of something you'd get in a happy meal from McDonald's. Plus the Kawasaki is priced extremely well.
The rebel’s lines are awful. One of the ugliest bikes
Sorry, but I just have to laugh at Harley's. Between $25k - 45k (U.S.) for an 800 lb bike that has 120hp. 😅
HD management meeting: R&D: We don't know how to improve our bikes..We already tried 100 different colours.....Marketing: Let's make them bigger! All: YEAH! YEAH! USA! 🤪😘
@@rleerm and let's outsource most of the parts from China & India! LOL
Really looking forward to your review of the new BMW R12.
My favourite out of the list would be the BMW R12 with my least the Moto Morini.
Anyone else surprised the Harley Lowrider and Lowrider ST didn' t make the list?
Nobody cares about those bikes LMAO
@@anthonysilvestri4946 test rode the S. Very nice ride
id pick the enfield over the kawasaki if not for two major factors: I'm 5'6" and the couple extra inches of seat height on the enfield makes it go from very comfy to a bit too high to be comfortable. also, kawasaki is known to be extremely reliable, while nuts and bolts on the enfield are rumored to vibrate loose and need more constant grooming.
Mate, any chance you heard any news on why Ducati still hasn't made the Xdiavel V4?
As ever another greatly appreciated upload…🫡!
I've noticed Gold rims tempt you quite a lot.
How about the Honda rebel 1100?
Have you heard what 2024 updates/colours are happening for the Triumph Tiger 1200?
Anything over £20k ish for a bike is just crazy imo lol. The big Harleys make sense in the US since they have proper roads/infrastructure and decent weather that allows you to ride those behemoths pretty much all year round but in the UK and EU I just don’t see the point. Some people still think 20k for a bike is too much but I think it’s reasonable considering a lot of people have 2 cars - one for a daily and one for fun so in this case you swap the fun car for a bike
Like the Triumphs, great looking bikes that are good value for money and best of all they are British (what's not to like) surprised the R18 Roctane didn't make your list , it's beautifully built and has a unique look, as for the Harley's I love the Street Glide and the CVO Road Glide ST, if I had the cash I'd be heading down to my Local H-D dealer and handing them a large wad of cash.
Those Harley's...ha ha! Looks so silly! But I'm not a cruiserguy. (Rode Harley's for 20 years)
The RE and BMW looks good. The Asian ones (incl. Morini) looks like something built with Lego.
Thank you mr Bob!
Im an RE guy ....i dont like harleys ..i admit thatt there is some of them that look amazing and they for sure perfom good ...but if i had the money ill buy a supermeteor 650 for everyday riding and a triumph likee a Bonneville for weekends, and probably it will still remain some money fo a house, also the honda goldwing looks better
Why R18 and new diavel is missed in the list?
I particularly enjoyed the fast-forwarded sequence of some Harleys going....erm, fast🤣
You forgot to say "for a Harley" LOL
I don't understand why BMW not putting in the 1250 engine in the R12.
The Harley are expensive, and even more in Denmark where the CVO hit 100.000Euros - but the Street Glide i so cool...
I'll give it to HD, they finally updated the fairing for the first time since they slapped it on umpteen million years ago and it looks pretty good. $26k good? no, but at least it looks modern now
Overpriced junk...
Got out of Harleys a few years ago after receiving & rejecting a nigh on 30k bike with orange peeled paint, which even the dealer said was a problem as they were now painted in China, and most of the spares are manufactured there also..... so not so much of an American bike these days.
Great content as always. 👍✌🤘🖖🤙👌🍻
How many cc's are those Harley Davidson's ? I don't understand cubic inches
The 135ci = 2212cc or 2.2l the 121ci = 198cc or 2.0l engine all you had to do was google it and it would have given you the answer.
121 cubic inches is about 1900cc
@@ScootScoot125 cheers 👍
@@ScootScoot125 Actually it is closer to 2.0l or 2000cc just shy by 14cc but some reason my post was hidden
@@SHSPVRThanks, I just estimated that. One of my friend's has a Fat Boy 114 and that's about 1800cc, made a guess as to what a 121 would be.
Those hidden posts is just YT having some trouble, it hid my posts too until you two replied to it
Motobob, I'll take the R12 and the Royal Enfield 650cc bikes! I'm first generation German/American, an auto mechanic so I know quality! 🤓👍🏍️🧸🤭Doug
For 40,000 i can get more than 2 proper bikes
No honorable mention of any Indian models?
SWM Stormbreaker?
Im upset that the Harley Fatbob got discontinued. I really thought it was a good forward for them
Front end if that HD looks like an air-conditioning unit
Yer can't beat the Royal Enfield warranty. The price of the Harley's is ridiculous! I'm a working class Brit. I don't really like HD but if I did, I'd spend my whole riding life pissed off because I could never afford one. I love the Shotgun but i reckon I could just afford the BMW if I live on porridge. 😂
I’ll stick to my Victory Cross Country. An all made American bike.
Please don't let AI design bikes....look at 0:23 at a crappy designed Harley with three exhausts🤦🤦🤦🤦
I’ve been blessed to own a lot of bikes in my life. Many types as well . Adv, dual sports , sport, cruisers, in my opinion ride what you like. I’ve had my 2010 fatboy since new. Harley’s over priced (yes) unreliable (no) then again I’ve heard many say opposite. I believe being expensive even at entry levels is why young riders aren’t buying Harley, and I think that’s what will kill the brand . Not because they won’t change the style on new models . They are doing that. It’s not working.
Carbon endcaps being the latest chapter in the 737max horror story.
Near 40k for something with a fairing that looks like my mum designed - leave off!
Add 50% extra on the price you see on this list because that’s how much shipping and setup fees is gonna cost you to get OTD. Bike market is messed up
All these inline twins should be inline 4 s. So the only bike i like is the Z900 rs
Bmw looking nice
I thought HD are only expensive in my country.
What bike is in the thumbnail?
Moto marini
Can't wait for next year so Buell's Super Cruiser can have it's day in the sun.
So the paint can start to peel? LOL
You had me at the No 3 and then it was just blah blah blah American vlogger chat stuff. The Enfield looks good.
The disks on the Harley don't look wavy toe me
Lol Harley trying to put lipstick on a pig. How much for that shed 😂
I like the Kawasaki and Royal Enfield best. (Must learn how to ride first.)
Terrible waste of 40K unless thats what you are into
Where are your timestamps?
I can't speak for Rob, but I imagine that because he has put the work in, his position is that you watch it or pass.
R12 is almost perfect but the fuel capacity is just to low!
Any bike that makes under 300km with one fill up is not worth the money for me!
16L would’ve been good 18L superb and 20 is wishful thinking.😂
Where do Harley get off charging that much? And they wonder why their sales are always in decline...
Ive bought 3 streetglides over the years and at $22k plus tax etc they are only ok, at $25-27k its not worth it specially if u are actually wanting to tour on one at that point buy a goldwing, if u just want to pose at the nearest starbucks then sure i guess it worth it??? Lol not
Definitely a terrible waste of $40K - what a joke! LOL
Has anyone owned the Kawasaki Eliminator and the Honda Rebel? I've been trying to compare the 2 for a while now
Personally i think that the only good looking cruiser bikes are the Harleys, and i also think a proper cruiser should have a V-twin and not a parallel twin engine. But that's just my humble opinion.
Indian Scout Bobber/Rogue, Indian Chief???
My bro iam watching ur videos n reviews but u also mixed n didn't consider to huge most major brand of motorcycle which is Honda
My dear Honda is no 1 brand in cruising and in reliability u always reviews put on freely
I thought there was already one Harley per azz-hole?
I guess there's still a need to satisfy the ratio. 😂
There's one born every minute.
Here in the states they're easy to spot away from the the Harley. They wear red hats, made in China.
You need a spare, for when the 1st one breaks.
@@ThirtyYearstoolate 😂 your bike is actually made Chinese....
@@stephenbarabas6286 Nope! I wouldn't touch one.
Nice Chinglish, troll.
These Harley CVOs are BEAUTIFUL, but that price tag is so terrible. I am not sure how people purchase them.
No one EVER mentions the Honda FURY? I love mine🇦🇺😃🏳️🌈
HD should be dropping prices not to sink… I think they’re going to have to drop all the very expensive bikes and focus on the adventure and cheaper cruisers. Can’t see HD having success with millennials.
I would buy a Speedmaster if i had the money..
The new road glide front fairing design sucks...it looks like an Indian...also I prefer the analog gauges...
Triumph Bobber is the only one for me, cruiser style is my least favourite and to pay what HD want for there horrible looking cruiser line up is a joke.
I love how all the internet geniuses complain when Harley makes an electric bike “how dare they it’s rubbish etc” then complain about the ‘old school’ bikes are so old fashioned bloody internet warriors, more like internet softcocks and whiners
Looks like Harley have a death wish lol. Mind you, if you are 25 stone , it's a great mobility scooter.
Funny that you left out the Indian lineup...
Idea. No "r" in idea.
Terrible waste of 42K in the 🇺🇸
I want the Moroni guys to hep Honda redesign the Rebel.
I would rather spend 26K USA on a Ducati Diavel which would smoke that bike
The Harleys are way too expensive. Maybe they come with a plough option!
It's called marketing: By making your product expensive, you will find buyers that are easily convinced that it's therefore a better product, and they will never admit they are overspending. Same with Apple, Ferrari, Louis-Vutton, and a lot of other brands that thus can take huge profit margins compared to similar or even better products.
Shame about the firing order on the Kawasaki. And Harley Davidson continues to be excellent value for money a manageable 🤔
I'm sorry to notice the total lack of anything between 650cc and 1800+
The Triumphs are beautiful, but soo small, they are like mopeds to me. Why are there no proper larger cruisers at 1200 to 1500cc that's not breaking up my bank account... I have to admit, though, that the RE Super Meteor 650 is an excellent motorcycle in both size and quality. RE will shift a lot of those. But at 6'8" there is nothing I could ride comfortably without paying through the nose for a Harley or Indian. (Albeit I love them both)
Yamaha Raider 1900 👍
....that Hardly-Ableson with the Dodgem-Car front end.... what the F where they thinking?
The Kawasaki's cheap digital display is just as ugly as the Rebel. Both companies are likely to be supplied by Amazon motorcycle accessories.
Waaow a whopping 120hp and only 350kg. For only 40k, how does Harley cvo manage to offer so much performance for so little money😂
It's because HD buyers are not aware that _actual_ penis enlargement surgery is much cheaper. I heard 😅
Two Harley's and no Indians. Awww shucks!
I can't believe he chose Harley. Davidson's top models to compare to these p***** ant excuses of motorcycles.
I’m 71. And Catching.Some Win today in Broussard Louisiana 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Reading that word salad, suggests Dementia.
@@ThirtyYearstoolate No sh1t.
I caught some wind today, too. I thonk it might've been down to some dodgy egg mayonnaise sandwiches.
Harley’s still the best cruiser and baggers! Put yo ass on some class!
A beautiful waste of 40 grand.
That kawasaki is hideous lol
Japanese need to stay out of the cruiser market and Harley is just way overpriced, triumph just rules and quality is second to none
I'm pretty sure honda know what they are doing and are probably the most reliable bikes out there
1st
It's 2024, just stop. Do you have an AOL account too?
The Harleys are really ugly.
Harley "Drivers" buy them anyway?
Re the haters with regards to Harley Davidsons, experience has taught me that they unconsciously dig 'em and would get one in a heart beat given the right opportunity - e.g., if they had the disposable income/wealth and no one they gave a damn about knew about their new acquisition for all their past bad mouthing them. (Psych 310).
Very misguided logic - even if I had millions in the bank there are many many other bikes I would buy before a Hardly Capable! LOL (Ducati, MV Agusta, BMW, Rocket3, H2, Goldwing, etc...)
@@anthonysilvestri4946 . . . as perceived by your misguided logic ! LOL !
@@bernardlesperance742 there's a reason the T-Shirt Company loses millions every year - because nobody is buying their overpriced Chinese bikes! Triumph & Ducati don't have this problem 😂
Unbelievable. No Indian at all! Give me a break.
harley cost the same as a new Hi Lux, ridiculous
I will stick with older bikes I do not like all the digital it also drains your battery. At least with the older ones you can work on them yourself
The reason I have a newer bike is it just starts and goes every time.
how does it drain the battery?
All my new vehicles and bikes start right up every single time. My old bikes are finicky. I'm gonna say the "all digital" is pretty great.
@@carlosandleon to many electrontorics
@@whisperingwolf8217that doesnt drain the battery, thats like saying you dont want a bright headlight because it drains the battery.
Old bikes dont have leds either so they drain the battery
Sorry But I think the Honda Rebels are totally fucking UGLY. I hate the neo retro bikes like the Rebels and the Yamaha XRS and MT's. That's why people are going for Triumph's. Enfield the styling and the price. Wake up Yamaha, Kawasaki and Honda
