Congrats on 1 MILL🎊🔥
Can you do a video on the Honda 1300 CTX Deluxe?
My insurance company
I love the fact I can say I have a busa and a bandit 👍
I thought the “lift control” on a Harley was the fact that they are under powered and over weight… that describes the riders too.
Someone once said, "You know why it's called asphalt? Because it's your ass, and it's your fault. Wear your gear."
This has since become my favorite motorcycling term.
LMAO, thats perfect
This is awesome. Can't wait to use it!
😄
Hey Boatyface, I like that!
Every time I go for a ride I tell myself, if I go down, I'm going down wearing exactly what I'm wearing right now. So most of the time, I gear up before swinging a leg over the seat. Once in a great while I take that chance.
Its not a term its a saying
As a harley rider myself, I think yammie is hilarious. Most harley riders are to full of themselves. Though I am a harley guy I still love all bikes. Keep it up guys.
I have no wish to own most HDs myself (maybe a VRod, def a Pan American) but I sure like looking at them.
My Ducati turns gasoline into noise as efficiently as a Harley, but it has the unfortunate downside of producing power ;)
Holy fuck it's a unicorn 😲😲😲
So glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks this. I love riding my harley, but the harley culture is stuck in the 80s.
I have had multiple Harley riders love my honda monkey after cracking a joke about it lol
I like the use of squid as an anacronym "Speeding Quickly Until I Die” or
“Stupidly Quick, Underdressed, Ignorant and Dangerous”
I like the second definition better.
I'm squid on Honda Monkey 125. 😀
Stupidly quick underdressed imminently dead is my favorite.
I used to call my bikes squid missiles 😉 first street bike was an 01 SV650S with stage 1 jet kit and +1 rear sprocket, couple months later I upgraded to a 99 VFR800, from power wheelies to speed runs 😋
@@jarobednar5989 that's not a flex bud
Minor correction to #9: Busa is shorthand for beginner bike 🙏
*turbo
Best beguinner bike 100%
Yammie 1:86
@Peter Angles one fast couch 👍😎
I'm ok with not having a fast bike.
Ya know, there are old riders & bold riders, but no old bold riders.
I have fun & I'm still riding at 68.
(There was that one time I got pulled over for doing a ton on a country road in New Hampshire. Got a stern talking to from the local sheriff)
I once saw a Busa-boy in the wild! No sht, lane splitting uphill to run a red light over a blind hill! It was humbling and yet glorious!
Was always told riders were called squids because when you die going at fast speeds and you’re decapitated, only thing left under your helmet is guts and the shape resembles a squid.
Dentist who wants to play pirates on the weekend!!!!??😂😂😂 that’s a good one!
Had a tank slapper happen to me once by launching hard on black ice. Was able to correct, get to the gas station down the road, then proceed to chain smoke half a pack and maybe have myself a little cry. Scariest damn thing that's ever happened to me on 2 wheels.
You should've included some terms like "High/Low side", "Cat or Catalytic Converter", "Deleting Fenders", "Sliders", "Canisters/Elbow/Slip-ons" and etc; You know, the ones that usually pops up in a conversation. Maybe for a part 2?
yeah some of the shit he said i have never heard in my life. No one has ever refered to a car driver as a cager before.
There are a lot of videos on the channel that include these terms and are explained in enough detail to know what they refer to. Go back and watch some content or do a quick Google search.
@@slow2K2GT no
Maybe he didn’t include those words because they’re so simple that a simple google search would’ve covered
@@blazortheepic0384 It's definitely commonplace in Australia.
The second he mention Tank slapper, I was like "NONONONONONO" Because I fear that shit
One engine type you missed entirely is the flat 6 cylinder - used on every Honda GoldWing and the legendary Valkyrie, among others. Because the cylinders are mounted opposite each other, they are incredibly smooth and surprisingly nimble (since the center of gravity is so low). They also have a well-earned reputation for having a VERY long life - many are still running after having 200k or even 300k miles on them.
Also the inline 6 that BMW uses.
Not on ever gold wing old ones were flat only later did they go to 6, but not bashing you are probably not old enough to know the bikes from decades ago. I am 60 ridden since I was 6 so my knowledge of things from dinosaur era of bikes is pretty big LOL
flat 4 missed the 4
Yam: Mentions how nakeds don't have clip-ons
Also Yam: Doesn't mention what a clip-on is
XD
So a BSA Goldstar Clubman’s spec doesn’t have clip-ons?
@@SvenTviking well that's besides the point. SV650 X has clip-ons too, there are a few that break the rule - as is with any rule. My comment was more so the fact that Yam talked about why lack of clip-ons was relevant, but never bothered to mention what clip-ons even are in the first place
That was totally a real deer at 10:03. Glad she decided not to jump out in front of you!
That was enjoyable. Especially since I have a Busa but I'm not a Busa Boy. I kept it stock and it's terrifying sometimes if I let it get away from me. I can't imagine one with a turbo, they must be insane. I just have to remember that it's trying to kill me every time I whack the throttle open.
I hear ya. I have a Vmax and I gotta remember that as well.
Cheers!
Great video again YAmmie.
You got it spot on when you said “ Who wouldn’t want to risk life and limb everyday for a daily dose of adrenaline”
20 years ago I had a bad one on my TL1000R, my left leg was torn off in the accident. Did it put me off bikes🤔 Nah still love and ride them.
Yikes
Gnarly
at 18 car almost took my right leg, multiple surgeries, compound fracture bone out, all 3 bones broken 2 yrs in cast. 1 month after I got out of cast brother cam by on his brand new ninja 900 1985 model, I rode it once, went to shop ordered 600 they went one state over and got it was riding late the next day. If I can hold the bars hit the brakes and shift the gears i am riding. people asked why, I asked ever been in a car wreck? Did you stop driving? Shuts em down every time. For young uns that ask, I say okey say you are having sex with your girl in a say a barn loft, in the heatof sex fall out of loft get hurt bad, you giving up having sex? Nuff said. Most fun you can have with your clothes on.
I'm happy enough with my Honda rebel 500. Saying that I still have alot to learn when it comes to riding. I'll happily keep riding on a 500
Hey your on two wheels and free ride on
Read/watch Keith Code's Twist Of The Wrist ;)
I had a honda reel 500 brand new got rid of it in about 3 weeks it was too slow and got an r6
I have ridden everything from 60cc dirt bike to ZX10R most fun ever had riding was 1975 honda 400 four super sport, back inlate 70s. Fast enough for street use without being crazy dangerous but fun as hell to ride hard. I smiled everytime I got on it. the new ZX4RR is going to be mine at some point same weight as old honda 400 four but twice the hp, I grew up on 125cc 2 stroke dirt bikes, I love revving the piss out of bikes and my zx6 just too fast on street revving to redline in any gear but first 3 but 400 you can wring it out and still be semi sane in speed.
@@Lol18861I ended up trading the rebel for a Yamaha 1100. Wrote that off and currently own a Suzuki boulevard m90. I too found that the rebel was a little too slow towards the end of my ownership and I wanted more power and a better riding position
One Sunday while having breakfast at our local quirky diner, the owner asked my husband "just how many bikes does your wife need?" His response of "3 apparently" caught the ear of the woman at the next table. She inquired as to what type of bikes I (the wife) ride, his reply of well, a 1000cc Kawasaki Concours, a 1,400cc Kawasaki Concours, and a Ducati Multistrada Enduro was met with a lengthy blank stare. Once she was able to further engage, her response was "Those are lean over bikes, right?" So glad I wasn't there that day.
Must play Free Bird at all times HAHAHAH got me! I'm dying. Playing free bird on my Indian Scout is what I live for BroTHeerrrr!!!
Literally just brap
Nice one. You are truly a yam and not just a sweet potato, Jake.
Is this some sort of gang calling brother
@@MrBrOsAp69 Yo bro!
@@hisdadjames4876 AAAAA
All brap no brake
Dont forget about the goofy middleground of the sporster 1200, corners pretty aggressively but still comfy with the same loud pipes
People who don't ride Harleys make fun of people who do. And I get it 100%. But, the most fun I've ever had was on a built evo sportster. Metric bikes are fast but a sportster with that much power is a whole different beast.
But people who do ride Harley's make fun of people who don't, so it goes both ways.
Cheers!
I may be a cager, however i watch out for the bikers like they're my grandchildren. Also gonna get a bike with next job. Since i already drift an upgraded van i will definitely end up a squid once on two wheels
we really do appreciate people like you! I actually find at least where I am near Denver that's about 95% of the population. unfortunately 5% of the population seems to want to murder us...
I would like to point out that you showed cuttlefish while saying squid. That is all Yamfather.
I've heard old racing guys explain Squid as a Squirrely+Kid=Squid
Watch a squid dart off underwater, now imagine it's a road and the light just turned green.
Bam, Squid.
Stupidly
Quick
Under dressed
Imminent
Danger.
the only term you really need to know is dank nooner
You just gained a subscriber with the quick humor. Must play Freebird at all times or they won’t run. 😂👍 Well done.
my last bike was an R6 mad fast with everything it needed to kill 750's...my new bike, a big V-Twin Shadow 1100, lol. I think I just grew up a little, did everything there was to do while going fast, including wrecking, life gets real after that, so I don't mind being made fun of for my slow, torquey, great sounding chilled ride :) all fun, all good.
Missed a few. Retro, cafe racer, dirt, mini moto....
I'm only new to riding I've only been riding for 6 months and at 17 only bike I can ride is 125cc and still love it
I had recently moved, so it was the first time I had taken this entrance to the highway. It's an awkward angle, so you have to go into it turning. I'm leaned to the side slightly, speeding up to merge and the entire section of road there is horribly repaired so I hit this massive ramp. When my tire came down, it was violently going side to side. Thanks for letting me know the name of it xD
Yes up here in the north we do have trucks and motorcycles because of snow, we don't have the luxury of riding all year round, it almost sounds like there's an issue with that.
Thanks to the handy dude yammie noob I bought my first bike yesterday. Thanks for raising me into the future irresponsible squid u always dreamed I could be.
The belt sander on the chicken strips killed me!!! ROFL!
"Slow bikes for dentists who wanna play pirate on the weekend."
Most savage thing I've heard all week. Thanks.
The cbr650r been getting some love up here. Finally letting us shine hahah
Hondas are so boring lol
- Proud & happy CB650R owner
Cruise control makes for awesome hands free riding lol
I got my permit last year and now I have a VRSCA. Ultimate squid.
You crammed a ton of great content into 13 minutes!
When your bike doesn't have an engine type that yammy listed its a great feeling!
A rotary?
Pedal
I love the content. I enjoy when you make fun of my ride.
I love my little 600 and I feel accepted when you take the time to poke at us.
I thought for sure "High Side" was coming after the tank slapper 😂
I for sure thought he would include "Death Wobble" and another Harley joke.....Missed opportunity @yammienoob
Doing tons of research before I obtain my first motorcycle. I have yet to take the Motorcycle Safety, which is where I will begin. Your videos have taught me a HUGE amount, stuff I didn't know I didn't know.
Thank you Yammie N00b
I enjoy the mix of content in this video. I've learned about motorcycles and love staying for the random fact at the end. The classical music in the background is a nice touch of culture. I'm getting an itch to try a motorcycle.
"How to talk in motorcycle" - not even 3 seconds and Yam destroyed me
Fun and educational. Thank you Mr. Yam!!!
The tank slapper had me dyin lmao 🤣
As a 51 yo man who is thinking about getting a bike, with a motor, I’ve been boning up on what the latest and greatest is, when I came across your channel. After a watch or two, I could only shake a feeble fist in the air and with a grimace upon my face murmur something along the lines of; “Gull darn crazy kids. We are all doomed”. Mostly because I didn’t understand WTF you were talking about. But now I do know WTF you are talking about. And for that, thank you!
Yammie, missing some of that old skool "BUT" content. Love to see some of that snuck in to these ever popular list videos.
Even as a long timer, dig the vocab👍
love the expression when talking about the piston hitting the valve and busa boys lmao love the channel
An amazing amount of information packing into a small time. A Yammie's work is never done. Now to explain: line, breaking point, corner turn in, apex, exit, camber, radius, elevation, traction and the number of degrees a turn encompasses. Most of the later can change mid-turn, It would be far too much to ask explanations of gravity, acceleration, centrifugal force, lean angle and the vector addition of forces at the contact patch (the traction circle). That would require the best of 17th century physics. It's so hard to keep up with the latest advances.
Wow you need to google for book from keith code riding / racing school. Racing books are great for getting ful terms and what they mean . When I first hit street riding at 14 brother got a book from library written by racer I learned many things made me better safer faster rider. The BIGGEST one is counter steering, will save your life. basically ride in straight line in deserted road or parking lot with hands real light on grips push with right hand on bar bike will go right instantly, same with left, you actually push right goright push left go left. they physics is when you push wheel right it forces bike to lean opposite direction, you do it some never even realizing it. once you do you can change directio fast as hell in emergency situation practice it, it is coolest thing i learned from that book. i could explain a lot like speed shifting with no electronic speed shifter the list is long. iF YOU LIKE post I with some questions glad to pass it on but look for books by road racers it is all covered and much more. Knowledge truly is power. The skills you can learn fast will make you safer but most importantly FASTER than guys on faster bikes. Go to any race track when open to public riding a semi pro racer will eat every street rider there on a 400 when thay have 600 and 1000 cc bikes. SKILLS best mod to make and pretty cheap cost of a book or finding a rider who will explain it.
The best mitigation to fetal squid syndrome, aka lying in the road covered in viscera, is to do a low speed pass and examine the riding conditions. We all do dumb things on the street, it's inevitable even for the best of us, but if we plan on riding a road like it's a track we need to at least act like it's a track in all aspects. LEARN THE COURSE BEFORE YOU SEND IT!
I feel like you're talking directly AT me anytime you mention a Ninja 400. 😅
Enjoyed your video. I refer to my Goldwing as a two wheel convertible.
it is the rolls royce of bikes, friends dad had one I rode it, I could not do a long hwy trip on it, I was afraid I would fall asleep on it LOL damn thing was smooth and still pretty quick.
I like all bikes. Cars too. I have friends that draw hard lines in both. Never understood that die hard loyalty to anything
My 2014 EBR 1190SX V-Twin stock had 185HP and 102FT Ibs of torque at 10,600 rpm weighing 411lbs wet, I had it tuned with exhaust among a couple other things but I got it because I only paid $5,000 for it with 500 miles on it because i was in the army and the soldier that bought it was going to Iraq again and didnt want to deal with storage. I just wanted something different after selling my CBR and its definitely different lol but its a blast. You all stay safe!!
-Good thing that deer had second thoughts at 10:03
i just saw that myself. It's weird that I even watch the side of the road when watching youtube videos for deer.
My dude said "cant get any vaout floave" at 12:38, I'm gonna start using this 😂
Love the classical music background to your videos👌 🙂
My bike is a conventional roadster, and something you forgot on your list is a rotary engine bike like mine. Super rare. Rotary for life.
Dang, that BMW adventure bike (in front of the Starbucks)...man, nice bike. I'm a cruiser, but I really wouldn't mind something like that. And further, Yammie, you didn't bother to show a shot or two of the sport touring bikes. Sounds very interesting to me. Thanks for the vid.
Had a VMax 1200... Not a single bike has sounded like it. Soooo good.
Ok, i burst out laughing at the pizza and pineapple making out as forbidden livers. Well played. Love you videos.
Actually, I missed that one. It is pretty funny tho!
Great, explanatory video, thank you for upload ❤
Tank slapper: nah I call them "Death Wobbles" and lot of others do too
R1 riders are gonna be upset with you Yams. You didn't differentiate the cross plane inline 4 from a flat plane. 🤭😁
Next Yam Video: 7 Crankshaft Configurations You Need To Know!
Great vid Granny Boob! I usually have something to say, but this was top quality my dude.
Aww I'm sad the flat six engines in older Honda Valkyries didn't get an engine mention :(
They have the most aesthetic engines ever (I'm biased, I own one)
Well, he was stating the most common engine types. Goldwings and valkyries are the only bikes with the flat six. So not a common engine design across multiple manufacturers. Love my goldwing.
@@jeremyburklow405 I'm surprised he even mentioned V4's. There' probably like half a dozen bikes being manufactured with one.
That's a gorgeous FTR you have in the outro
My car actually doesn't have anti lock brakes. It's a 1995 Mazda MX5 Miata. It has power windows, a manual transmission, and a Torsen limited slip differential, so it's still pretty fun to drive.
I love cars and bikes where rider/driver are the anti lock traction control and shifter. I like being in control not the ECU and programs
I laughed so many times during this video, thank you.
Us enduro boys just call newbs squids cuz their limbs are usually flailing everywhere as they try to ride a rooty section and they look like a squid trying to run on land, I’ve seen similar actions with street newbs but I guess the term has been generalized by senior riders that frown upon less gear and wheelies
Just watched video again. Tank slapper. All the reasons they happen: favorite, or your bike just says Harley Davidson on the tank. That alone made the video worth watching. I ride a Harley by the way.
I had an Eagle fly beside me for a few miles in the Colorado mountains.
cool af
You are so damn articulate with the informational wisdom you drop on us!! I love this channel!!!!!
A supersport bike is a 600cc fully-faired sports bike that was the base for the supersport class of racing. A similar bike with a 1000cc is a superbike.
“Slow bikes for dentists that all want to play pirate on the weekend”
Might be your best line.
Honda makes 2 v4’s. Great combination of torque and horsepower. And relatively cheap. Love mine
In all honesty, this comment gets a lot of votes. I must’ve been drunk when I wrote it. Because Honda actually makes several V4s. The magna, the nighthawk, the VFR, the RC 51. There is several of them and I don’t know what I was actually thinking at that time. My apologies for spreading misinformation
@@pjinxhacks9568 the Magnas used to chew through cams and almost bankrupted the motorcycle division due to warranty claims. I ended up getting a Vmax instead. Also, I'm pretty sure the Nighthawks are inline 4's. Could you be referring to the Sabre?
Cheers!
In moyorcycle lingo Squid is a newb. Never heard it used as squishy kid.... When i was road racing in the mid 90s down at Moroso i had my "Squid Suit" on the first time i went out on the track. At the track its always meant new rider/racer. Sure being a bit ouf of control is a trait of most riders new to racing but the term didn't mean that specificly.
Correction: 3K dollars every 18K Miles on my Ducati. They have improved slightly.
Seriously?
@@machupikachu1085 the quote I got 2 years ago when I bought it was 3K for full 18K mile service im sitting at 17500 so I'm about to make the decision whether I'm going to take it to a shop or do it myself. Probably going to do it myself.
I had a sweet 919 with custom fairing and many other upgrades. My girlfriend at the time told me I should sell it and get a Busa. A Busa is only great for going fast in a straight line. No curves.
My significant other has specifically banned me from being a busa boi. Little does she know my 20 year old sport tourer has light speed power too.
Dont let your insignificant other stop you from being a busa boy
Busa is fat heavy bike I prefer lighter nimble bike and busa is not as fast as many talk, few 1000 bike stock run with it and can actually turn in a corner fast
Mozart, the coolest bloke of his time, was wondering which bike to buy when he wrote this symphony (the 40th).
V4 club!! Gotta love my '84 VF700C
I'm wondering if it just overheated. Love that bike and I'm a fellow Triumph simp.
All my friends ride Harley Davidson, I'm Yamaha, so I can have at least 2 extra beers while I wait for them to catch up. JK LOL
I promised my Bass Player Buddy never to yell "Freebird" at him in a live music situation, but I will smile now O/O°
I think more visuals in the lists would be helpful for learning- for example, in the 'sport touring' mention, we weren't given any idea of what they look like. Wouldve loved to learn!
Listening at .5 playback speed. Yammie sounds like he's drunk AF...LOL...Holiday cheer!
That's so funny- experienced that myself two days ago when I was watching a tail-tidy install vid at .5 speed and it auto-played the on-deck vid by Yam.
For those wondering why he said harley with the tank slapper, just look up dyno death wobble, ull see
I wore the chicken strips on one side of my new tire when I had to flattrack a corner that I was trying to lowside.
I have had people tell me that to get rid of the wobble that you need to speed up. Told them the next time they get the wobble to do that and let me know how that worked out but I aint holding my breath that they survive to be able to tell me. They swore I didn't ride cause I said you fix the wobble by letting off the gas
I had a 1987 Fazer with a 1/2 cradle frame. Speed wobbles were common on that bike. First time it happened, I had to use vice grips to remove the seat from my rectum.
Good times!
🤣
@@davidcreely693 had wobbles kick in 1 time going 80 on the interstate and it made me pucker so much I probably couldn't have farted if I wanted to lol
As a wanna-be rider, who’s also a professional writer, I have to compliment your writing … it’s remarkable! TL;DR … you’re FUNNY!
Agreed new BMW rider and I am enjoying the few posts I’ve seen.
As a 87 Honda super magna Frankenstein edition I am always in definable lol oh wait I think black sheep covers it or hermit I think that covers pretty well too😂😅
“Why you so mad”? That was funny.
I damn near pissed myself at the cowboy yam outro ahahahah!
The busa cracked me up Bro 😂😂😂😂
43 years of biking all kind of bikes including hd's super sports and all between now a versys 650 couldn't be more happy , at my age you do not need 150+ horses anymore
