All very nice, but judging by the prices (apart from Royal Enfield) it's easy to see why the motorcycle industry is going down the pan. Motorcycling here in the UK is usually for pleasure, people owning cars, besides have families, mortgages, utility bills etc. And, newcomers to motorcycling face many hurdles, and much expense before they can obtain a full licence. Not a good sign for the future I'm afraid.....
I like more the old red and white paint job with some gold accents on the tank and the version with the rectangular headlamp fairing (only been available for Japan market?)
Malgré un moteur fantastique, la XSR (pour moi) n'est pas une néo-rétro. Je la trouve particulièrement moche. Je sais que les goûts sont personnels, mais franchement quand on regarde les feux, la selle, le réservoir, ce n'est ni fait, ni à faire. Je ne comprends pas que Yamaha ne l'aie pas encore restylisée, peut-être les chiffres de vente ? Quand on la compare à une réussite comme le Z de Kawasaki, qui a aussi un cadre moderne, augmentant la difficulté de restylisage, on est obligé de l'admettre.
I believe it's a case of too many other retro 'cafe racers' to compete with coming from Asian manufacturers for half the price. Those who want to relive their youth at the Ace Cafe cannot physically cope with being stretched out over the tank grappling for clip-ons or low bars anymore.
Thank you for video. Kawasaki W800 enigneering desing is astonishing. It is the best all-purpose motorcycle ever build! Post Scriptum: stands could be adjustable with adapters, but it is very complicated problem in motorcycling (hip/knee angle). Old ideas could be quite functional - gel independent seat amortization, simplified engine made from few parts (reliability is reverse proportional to number of parts).
Perhaps the complaints about the music might have a positive influence, but to the honest I played the whole thing without any volume so it didn't really bother me.
17:50 who is the genius designer who attaches a mudguard/tail light so ugly, big and cheap-looking to such a nice bike. Get it straight the first time on a 17,000£ bike
You made a mistake regarding the BMW R18 according to this video the weight supposed to be 195Kg ??? and I know for a fact this bike weight more than 350kg, the weight mentioned this is the loading weight or something like this.
R18 looks good, but.. to feel riding comfort better to cut legs, otherwise their constant contact with cylinders will make you crazy 😀 Bike is not convenient for riding but great in garage.
A yardstick you should use for each and all of these lovely beasts is...WEIGHT. Any weight significantly over 400 lbs or ca. 188 kg results in a bike with inferior handling.
Why why why does Honda keep “reintroducing “ another CB 1000/1100 Standard on America when it never sells in any significant numbers. If they want a “retro” bike that would actually garner sales and buzz they need to bring back the CB900/1000 Custom from 1980-1983. That means fat mag wheels, shaft drive ,air shocks and a two toned paint tear drop fuel tank like back in the day. But improve upon that formula for the 21st century by upping displacement to around 1200-1400 cc and implementing the hydraulic lifters from the old Nighthawk 650/700 series. For THAT I’d get excited about.
The Triumphs are the winners, by a mile. The Beemers, not so bad - trying too hard maybe. The Honda is a bloody mess; the original wasn't exactly handsome...but really? The Kwacker was a lazy effort And, Enfields value-for-money...exceptional
And most of those bikes, you would need a paper bag to put over your head to actually drive. Most this companies need to hire a style and development team.
Well, only the Royal Enfield and the Kawasaki Z and a bit of the Honda have some spirit of the bikes from the 1970's. Kawasaki should have dropped the water cool-system for the Z's, that would be cool ;) ... Besides of that, actually Moto Guzzi hits the nail with their classics! ... Most of the so called Retro's are ugly as hell in comparison to the beautifully designed motorcycles of the 1970's.
c'est encore la Kawa 800 la plus réussie , les BMW sont moches , les gros moteurs clinquants pour donner l'impression de virilité que les hommes perdent jour après jour , en bons esclaves du système
6:16 BMW R18 Wet weight 196 Kg (430 lps) - One of you is taking expired drugs... (That's for sure, because it's not your fault, since you're repeating it at 16:03).
The Kawasaki Z900 is awsome. My top favorite
What were you thinking when you put this sound track on here? It’s not music, its noise, in the same way a hammer drill is noise.
Watched ten seconds of this before the music destroyed my brain cell
yup had to turn it off too.
Me too, sound off.
Just one cell? 😂
@@LeviJean1021 !!!
Yes, total disgrace, but bearable as opposed to AI talk, nice to see the W800 has maintained the classic silhouette intact
I bought an R 18 for plowing my fields and a Z 900 because it's a really nice bike for decades.

Yes have to agree.
Cannot believe you did not include the Moto Guzzi V7 850 a retro classic if ever there was one
Agreed. My son has one. Beautiful, simple, fun to ride motorcycle. And i love the shaft drive.
Pre mňa najkrajšia je Honda CB 1100 👍❤ 🙂
I love you Triumph ❤and Kawasaki
Thanks ! 👍✌
No problem 👍
Triumph makes such gorgeous bikes. Their paint jobs on the tanks are exquisite.
Yes they do
Kawasaki should make those radiators vertical instead of horizontal, they would look a lot better.
Honda is the best 👌 👍
I like more the old red and white paint job with some gold accents on the tank and the version with the rectangular headlamp fairing (only been available for Japan market?)
nice bikes
Thanks ✌️
Z 900 RS the Best Bike Ever !!!! ❤❤

Triumph Bonneville T120 😊👍
👍👍👍
Some decent bikes, but w/o two shock absorbers in the rear, one on each side -- for me, it just doesn't look right.
Had a Honda 1100 few years back but getting older it's weight became too much. Now a 750 version would be just right.
Can anyone please confirm if the Honda CB1100EX is back for 2025?
I cannot for the life of me figure out why Triumph would discontinue the best looking bike in their lineup. Long live the Thruxton!

That Yamy XSR900 does not look retro at all but it does look fast!
Honda for me
Just turn the volume of if you don't like the music.
for me the truimph T120 and the honda lok truest to the retro form , the honda with the air/oil cooled engine looks like so 70's
I have a feeling that the BSA Gold Star 650 might be available in the United States for 2025, I have a 2022 model here in the UK.
some nice bikes.... but regardinig the music...opposite to some comments I like the music - do somebody knows who is the interpret/band of this music?
Or you can get an older bike a grand, put another grand into it, and save $10,000. I’m looking to strip down and trick out a gold wing.

Truly Love All These Amazing Motorcycles, But My Favorite Cruiser Is No Doubt The Spectacular BMW R 18 🥇🇩🇪🖤❤️💛!!!

Bike is not convenient for riding but great in garage.
возврат к классическим,рэтро. Очень хорошо
Schade, ich habe gehofft, dass mal wieder eine 6-Zylinder Motorrad auf den Markt kommt. Auch eine neue Yamaha V-Max wäre schön.
In what countries does this motorcycle (HONDA CB1100EX) 2025 represented now?
I have to agree, music really bad, play 60s music instead.
You may need to verify your weights for the BMW R18's.
Thanks
Sure, under 200 kg wet or dry to me is impossible
Stop zooming in n out, hold still, stand back, no music, wtf
Moto Guzzi V7 ??
R18 195kg?!😂
Right? That thing is a beast. How is it the same weight as the other motorcycles they're showing here?
Maybe 345 kg?
No way....just no wayyyy 😂
@@steliosspanopoulos6214 🤣👍
The internet is global so please add USD to the prices listed as the AU price is significantly higher
4:20 Blue with gold rims please.
Exaggerated clearance betweem rear tire and fender spoils 'retro look".
Keren

¿Y las guzzi?

RE and Triumph win the style awards. RE wins for good value.
😊😊😊😊😊😊
And MOTO GUZZI ?
Ma Ducati e Moto Guzzi dove sono?
they need to hope people have the spare cash.tough year ahead
Umrechnung von kw in Ps nicht korrekt.
bring back the Yamaha XS650
The Triumphs are the winners, by a mile.
The Beemers, not so bad - trying too hard maybe.
The Honda is a bloody mess; the original wasn't exactly handsome...but really?
The Kwacker was a lazy effort
And, Enfields value-for-money...exceptional
Uhmm, that BMW 1800 classic does NOT weigh 430 lbs. Neither does the other 1800. I question your weights thusly, on everything.
Why do so many of these bikes not have good mudguards to protect them from the water and crap
XSR900 GP ?
Whoa! The R18 are under 200 kgs WET!!! Are they made of only carbon? 🤣
HONDA CB1100 EX... At least to my knowledge is not produced anymore for some years, strange you include this. Weird weird weird music btw.
And most of those bikes, you would need a paper bag to put over your head to actually drive. Most this companies need to hire a style and development team.
Most bikers of a mature age prefer the retro look …. I know I do.
Well, only the Royal Enfield and the Kawasaki Z and a bit of the Honda have some spirit of the bikes from the 1970's. Kawasaki should have dropped the water cool-system for the Z's, that would be cool ;) ... Besides of that, actually Moto Guzzi hits the nail with their classics! ...

Who could think this terrible „music“ makes the video better. It is good, but only without this noise
No Plastic ...... !
BMW r 18😊
👍👍👍
ride it in Georgia USA late summer and the bug smash will destroy your cooling
z900 how long has that been around for, bring out the z1300 4f,,k sack
It seems only Augusta have managed to keep the weight at a sensible figure. Most of these way too much capacity and way too much weight.
KAWASAKI Z900 SUPERIORE , INARRIVABILE
Ves cuando quieren esos estupendos relojes analógicos de auténticas motos,y no esas pantallas vacías y oscuras de móvil
Turn off the moronic music.
i agree , it totally winds me up ; can't watch ;
there's a mute button
Oh was that music.i Thought it was a load of shit.
how do people manage to get their greasy handprints allover the tanks ??? YUK !!
Современные, а тяжёлые как чугунные конвекторы.
BMW R18 weight 365 kg !!!
quindi a parte la MV, ho visto solo copie di moto anni ispirate (copiate) ai mitici anni 70!...le chiamano novità, bah!
The smaller ones will sell more .
2025 ?? Really , must have taken a long time for the film to develop ! 😂😂
¿Y Moto Guzzi?
Где Harley-Davidson?
Andranno anche bene, ma con quei 2 cilindri lì, messi lateralmente, sono la ciliegina sulla torta che rende la moto una schifezza irreversibile
MOTO GUZZI - APRILIA - DUCATI.....??????
Was soll der Quatsch mit der CB 1100 für 2025. Dieser Motor schaffte nicht einmal Euro 5
AGREED the music is awful. 👎👎
c'est encore la Kawa 800 la plus réussie , les BMW sont moches , les gros moteurs clinquants pour donner l'impression de virilité que les hommes perdent jour après jour , en bons esclaves du système
