Can you also win when you live germany
@@dr.tadashizhang7719 Sorry, if you live in Germany you've already lost. Well, that's what the Dutch say anyway. lol
Send one to india
I’m English but live in the excellent road networks and conditions in the French countryside. Though I digress. In response to your comment - did you see the new maintenance schedules for Dukes these days? Ducati have upped their game big time.
@yammienoob all beginner bikes are designed and made in India
And mostly by Bajaj
European here. With all my local patriotism, allow me to politely interject: bollocks! The Japanese are the masters. Of course the Eurobikes are "better" - they cost more. They are all "premium", whereas the Japanese cover the entire bandwidth of the market. Pay a Japanese manufacturer as much as you would for a Ducati or a BMW (let alone Harley Davidson), you'd get a gem of a motorcycle. The Japanese - the Asians in general - are very good at selling you exactly what you're willing to pay for. Cheap Chinese wares are crap because you wanted to buy cheap Chinese crap, and the Chinese will gladly sell it to you. Japanese vehicles are affordable and reliable because that's what you wanted from a Japanese vehicle. Do you know why we are making premium European motorcycles and cars? Because we incapable to make Japanese ones.
I like my cines/euro crap bike, nobody wants to steal it!
@@TheSilviu8xmy bikes so ugly a thief would be embarrassed to steal it 😂
100% spot on! This is the exact correct answer
No, disagree. The engineering and quality of the BMW bikes and components I've had are far superior to the Japanese bikes I've had. I mean, I agree with you in part, but you get what you pay for with a BMW. Some people value precision and quality and clean designs that include maintenance+longevity in their engineering+materials+design. All too often, I'm working on a Japanese bike and muttering to myself: why the hell did they design it like this, why didn't they use a better alloy here, why is this so difficult to access?
@@chadkline4268 well, this is precisely my point? You can't really disagree and then go on to say exactly what I'm saying. You do get what you pay for with a BMW - but you have to pay for that. Of course they have better materials, bespoke designs and high-value components, because they're expensive. But that doesn't require a lot of engineering skill. Slap some Brembo brakes on, WP or Öhlins suspension bits, good tyres. If you need an attachment point on transmission or engine, you design a new casing. You'll get paid, because it's a premium product and people will pay for that.
However, Hondas for example are notoriously reliable. At any case they're not worse than a BMW. The rest of the Japanese big four are also quite reliable, not worse than European manufacturers (and in some cases, *much* better). Servicing a Ducati will cost you an arm and a leg when the valvetrain service is due. BMWs aren't exactly a bargain to service either. The Japanese bikes are cheap to buy, cheap to own and won't let you down. Now that takes some engineering. They didn't use a better alloy because it would be expensive. Stuff is difficult to access because they are reusing designs and keeping the cost down. Simplify the design wherever possible. Reduce the number of parts. I admire that - especially if the end result works just as well or even better than the expensive stuff. I know I'm weird, but I think that a Citroën 2CV, or a ridiculously cheap, small modern car is much more interesting than a Rolls-Royce or a Mercedes. With enough time and money, any idiot can design that - but you must really know your stuff to design a 2-cylinder motor with a single coil and without a distribution cap to save production cost.
As a European specifically German. I disagree.
Yes we have the greatest engineers in my opinion but only when it comes to pure numbers and mechanical technology but the biggest problem is that we look at the short term best engine instead of the longevity. They don’t last as long because they are too complicated in design nowadays.
I’m talking for German engineers specifically.
BMW vs Honda?
Yes sir, I work @ a auto shop and German cars are much nicer and handle better, but cost much more in price and maintenance
agree.
yep no german car is desgined to go further than 100 km from a service centre. whenw as the last time a toyota car broke down ?>
Why use 2 parts when you can use 5?
Yeah the Duc and Ape are sweet bikes no doubt. I just wouldn’t like the maintenance schedules. I’d rather spend all the time they’d be in the shop , actually riding my boring Japanese bikes.
But what about the flex factor, curb appeal and bonus heartache when a screw comes loose and they charge you 100 usd for a replacement?
20th century reasoning.
What he said. Plus... I honestly don't agree with the styling points. That's so subjective. I think a lot of ducattis look very boring and lifeless, and aprillias are hideous with their giant logo plastered all over it.
Cmon, having your bike in shop being fussed over by Euro repair shop is way more fun than actually riding it. 😅
Really? Kawasaki ZX10R: oil change every 7.5k miles; valve check every 15k. Ducati Panigale V4: oil change every 7.5k miles; valve check every 15k. Sounds pretty similar to me and, given the money. I know which I'd rather have - ciao! 🏍️
I love the premium feel of my Ducati Streetfighter V4S. My previous bike was a Yamaha FZ09, which was a fun bike, but didn't make me smile the way the Ducati does. Then again the Streetfighter did cost me 3x the price of the Yamaha and the service costs are 2x-3x which is no joke.
It also has about 70 more HP than the FZ09.
It probably makes you smile more than a Ducati monster too
I just got a streetfighter v4s a week ago as well, it’s the best feeling bike i’ve ever ridden in my life. previous bike was a 2017 gsxr 1000r and yea it was fast, but it felt like a boat. The streetfighter is faster and feels about 100lbs lighter even though it’s nearly the same weight. geometry, suspension, light wheels and how the bike is engineered makes such a massive difference in the handling. it really is unbelievable how much the bike feels like a 600 with how flickable it is (handlebars def help too)
the S model was expensive af but man that dynamic Ohlins and forged wheels are so worth it.
@@trevorbye6965 remember when Revzilla had a v4s go slower than an 05 gixxer?
Just the fact we are comparing a whole continent with a single country thats just a small island means the Japenese are beasts. I owned MT-15 as a beginner then moved to MT-07 and I don't think I'm ever gonna want another bike.
How do you like the MT 07? Is it powerful enough for you?
@@sliglusamelius8578 I'd say the MT-07 is the most perfect street bike for me. I have never felt like I was lacking power. And, it's torque is real good. I am not a tall guy so it's really perfect for my size. Unlike tall people who can make the bike look small, it looks perfect and I love its designs with some mods I have installed. It gives a pretty good mileage and over the time, I have learned to do small maintenances myself. I have also made a custom saddle stay for my MT-07 and I can just put it on my bike, put on the bags then go for some touring. In one word, the MT-07 has been a fun bike for me.
Yes even though Japanese entered in the game few years later then euros.
@@sliglusamelius8578 It depends on what you want from a bike, doing highway pulls a literbike will eventually feel slow, going around a go kart track or a twisty road 30 hp can be more than enough for most riders
Japanese ethos doesn’t believe that consumer conveniences should be limited to a particular section of society. That’s why they’re so hell focused on reliability, longevity, accessibility, and quality control, which are intrinsically linked to their philosophy of Obitouri, which you can read about, rather than “look-I-am-the-big-daddy-syndrome”. European manufacturers , in fact the entire western manufacturing, don’t believe in anything as such. They’re good in giving you boners, but they can’t be trusted. A Ducati is your $2000 per hour escort from moonlight bunny ranch, where as a KLR 650 is your perfect house wife. Which one would you choose depends on what you believe in.
You say they dont care about "im the big daddy"... explain the H2R then 💀
every house wife has a little black dress in the wardrobe
thats a reliable big daddy then XD@@adrianzingre9875
Well said bro! I'm a Gixer man, though most
Jap bikes offer better value, reliability etc
for your bucks than the Euro machines!
😂😂😂
2002 Yamaha R1 with 127k+ miles and still runs like a champ with minimal repair costs in its 20+ years and still puts a huge smile on my face! No Euro can do that.
how about those GS 1200 with 200k km on them, or the ktm's with the same? you can find plenty of those used
Boxer engine can also match that
@@Tiag_90 comparing supersport bike with adventure bike is foolish to say the least
@@Tiag_90high mileage KtMs are like bigfoot, everybody has heard about one but you never got to see one for yourself.
Only lame stories and a blurry pic for proof.
As someone who loves euro bikes, i can say this video is severely bs, not because he's lying but because how yammie is ignoring all the good things about a japanese bike that they are known for a continuesly making them sound alot inferior even tho they aren't. This video was only made to bait the euro bike lovers. He mever highlighted the cosy, maintenance, durability factor and if he did, the video would be title 'why japanese bikes are better..."
I think this video was made to bait the japanese bike lovers and it worked.
Yammie Noob, I sure hope your making the "Why Japanese bikes are BETTER than European bikes" video soon".
Won't be long; a lot of the videos with these titles bait people to watch, increasing viewership
He already made plenty of vids for affordable easy to own and maintain bikes. He always praising their reliability, enough with the crying everytime he mentions european bikes
Bought a Ducati thinking it wouldn’t be a problem, the parts hard to get and repairs cost ultimately became a problem,
absolutely.
The two small lateral fairings for a 07’ Hypermotard = 1000£
No carbon fiber, nothing fancy. Just plastic…
Yeah, better…
all i can say about ducati is they look good
Depends.. if your budget is limited, Japanese is the only way. Doesn't matter how exciting a euro bike is if you can't afford the bills
But they can obviously or they wouldn't buy them.
How? A new MV Agusta F3 or DUcati V2 is $17k, a new Gixxer 1000 is $15k it's only a couple thousand more.
@@GodofWhoopassoh yeah definitely, it's only just a couple hundred thousand more in other countries, just get the much better and expensive one
@@GodofWhoopassDude compare V4 or 4 cylinder prices to Gixxer, then we'll talk about prices.
@@GodofWhoopassnow how much is a simple oil change?
In Brazil, Eurobikes lack durability. They can’t stand our heat and roads, whereas Japanese ones own it.
Also, it’s a shame European motorcycles do not invest in inline 4, which, let’s be honest, present the best motor sound possible.
Last but not least, their tech features don’t justify the above the average price tag.
The fact that we compare a whole condinent with a single country says all the story here. Japan brands may not be the most innovative and creative ones but they did motorcycles to be available for every one. Reliability=engineering quality
truth be told, its Germany/Italy against Japan.
noone else in europe actually still builds bikes in europe afaik.
Not the most innovative? They dominated the market and racetracks for a reason back then. But absolutely true, they make everything, the boring, the amazing, the crazy, the do it all.. I think it's the bias because euro bikes are made less, and they don't make budget friendly ones. But when they do actually try to make ones that they don't make to be budget friendly they deliver of course. The only part where you can say that is absolutely true about japanese makers is the corporatism, though you can just filter out the ones that they didn't have much passion in.. It's quite obvious that the new hornet cb line is not really much cared for 💀. But the cb1000r though, just look at it lol.
In the 4 months that I owned my only Ducati, it quickly lost its “charm” after the almost $4k I had to spend on repairs. Went back to Japanese and never looked back.
Higher end Japanese bikes are on par with the Europeans imo. It’s just that the Japanese manufacturers offer a lot more budget and mid market bikes that don’t quite have the quality as euro bikes
They are not on pare anymore,some years ago they clearly were superiore but not anymore
Out of 8 sport bikes I had, the only one that burned oil was a Honda SC59 and the only gearbox that had a problem was on a K2 gixxer.
675 Daytona is the best built sport bike.
@@DragonNinjaHayabusa98 One bike and literally the only Bike in that class
@@DragonNinjaHayabusa98it is only better in a straight line. It is inferior in every other scenario. Also the maintainance on an H2 is still expensive, on par with European bikes, due to the caliber of motorcycle it is. I own an H2 and a V4S Panigale
Great episode. I own an old 98 Ducati ST2, and a 2015 Gxs S750. They are night and day as far as temperament and ease to ride. The GsxS is exactly what you'd expect from an inline four Japanese bike. It's fast when it gets past 6000 rpm, it shifts smooth, easy maintenance and a dream to daily drive especially around town. The Ducati is polar opposite. It has a dry clutch which is loud and rowdy. The clutch is on or off, no in between. It's wild like a bronco that's nice enough to let you ride it. You must rev match the Ducati or the rear end bounces because of high compression in the motor. In other words no engine braking. It has a deep voice. It sounds like an old muscle car. It's fun to ride also, just more demanding.
Not sure how bikes that spend as much time in the shop or waiting for parts could possibly be considered higher quality? I consider reliability paramount as I don't have a dedicated personal mechanic with a container full or parts or 10 spare bikes to balance out the ones waiting for repairs
I agree! And the only bike I desire outside of Ducati or Aprilia is the Fireblade!
The only reason why Ducati's utilize Desmodromic architecture is because they still haven't managed to make decent quality springs 😂
Google Ducati gear shifter return springs issues
Question: Where is the European DCT? Is that not a Japanese invention and innovation?!?
Where’s the Japanese dct besides the showroom? Very few people buy those.
@@hunterl7588 The main reason a lot of people opt for the DCT is that they may have a physical impairment or disability that prevents them from using a shift lever or clutch. Also, older riders choose them after decades of using a manual transmission! But as I look around on various TH-cam channels, younger riders are loving their Honda Rebel 1100 DCT and the Goldwing DCT’s are extremely popular! More so, the Goldwing DCT!!! Check out the market sales analysis for those bikes and your questions should be answered! I research before I comment. 👍
Papa yams, I’m looking for a supersport to add to my stable. Which one of the euro bikes is the best?
I'm a former R6 owner. I always lusted after the Eurobikes but stayed away because of reliability and dealer network issues.
Those issues are much less prominent these days, so much so that I currently own a Ducati Multi V4S and Aprilia Tuono V4.
Honourable mention in the euro nakeds is the Benelli TnT 899/1130 (Tornado Naked Tre) designed by Adrian Morton, the bike had a triple cylinder engine, marzochi upside down suspension, brembo brakes and had a very eccentric look
Hi guys. Is there a quote "Every trip is a wasted trip if you don't get home (safe)." or something similarly?
I started with a Japanese bike as my first bike, have since been all Euro. Started with the CBR500R (it's not THAT bad, c'mon guys) and then moved to a 701 Supermoto and as of a month ago moved on to the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S, just in time for the winter season. lol I love Japanese bikes and in fact did almost go back to Japanese when looking to upgrade from my 701, but that 1290 was just something I had to have and experience. So again I say, c'mon, ADV bikes are great! Loving mine even though I only got 3 rides on it before being put away for winter. Spring is gonna be exciting!!!
What did you just say?
6 countries vs 1
20+ manufacturers vs 4
Tells you all you need to know 😂
Servicing price is too high. Parts are harder to get.
European here. I have a Chinese scrambler with a Suzuki clone. It's a Bullet, now Bluroc, Hero 125. Laugh all you want. Just to say that way before Ducati's Monster, there was the hole streetfighter bike thing in Europe. The fairings would often break on Replica Racers, RR bikes, so they were removed in total. In the 80s and 90s you just didn't order parts over Amazon, it would take some time for stuff to arrive, but you didn't want to stop riding the bike. So, no fairings, then you'd get a raiser and a wide bar, twitch the suspension, and there you go, you've got yourself a streetfighter bike. There were even these frames, Spondon ... that's another story, just to say Ducati did nothing new.
I only agree to the fact that italian bike look good but for my own experience i will never buy again a duc. I had a hypermotard 2014 new. this bike just gave me headache. Electrical problem that never ducati has been able to find. And few times i was waiting in the waiting room i was asking the guys what’s wrong with your duc and many times i heard the same. Electrical problems….. So i never took this bike for a big trip because i never know when she will accept to restart or not….. and i had a R1 2016 new. I never had one problem. This bike was the best bike i ever have.
Are you able to ship to other countries?
My cousin has over 200,000 miles on a Kawasaki Vulcan. My first bike was European, a Norton Command. It leaked oil at the tachometer drive and primary chain case, brakes were almost worthless, and it blew a head gasket after 9000 miles.
They're really great bikes when you can work on them yourselve and you're not dependent on a shop or a dealership.
How do you feel about the BMW S1000RR
I am that person who will choose tools over jewelry. I am user. And that brings me to Suzuki over and over. :-)
Reject stats, embrace the ninja 250. The chadest of all bikes
Yamaha MT 07 is the best middle weight naked bike.. Admit it
If money is never an issue, then absolutely.
Can you do a review of the T120 tho?
for years Yammie noob wanted to let his euro simp come free and now he finally did.
i know it is a while from being released right now but please please PLEASE do a video series with the Aprilia RS 457
Me with a Chinese CFMoto: 👁️👄👁️
Would love to see a comparison on 125cc bikes on how the old 2 strokes European manufacturers dominated whereas now its japanese and chinese bikes dominating the market, also would love to see your thoughts on my bike hava its a 2001 suzuki intruder VL125 (mines had a few modifications to make it more rider friendly)
If you could afford to purchase and maintain euro bikes, then by all means, you do you. Japanese bikes are meant to be more accessible to as many riders as possible. It all depends on the size of your pocket.
I don't mind owning a BMW R1200GS; if I could afford the price and upkeep. But my very limited budget is more confines me to a "simple" Versys 650. Not the best bike but it is reliable and will not put a big dent in my pocket when comes to maintenance.
Good to know they exist. For my own with mine own money, I'd still get the Japanese. Almost the same performance, not nearly the same maintenance. There's a reason why we see old gixxers and Busas made into all kinds of things like dirt bikes or turbo bikes and European bikes find a museum shelf.
Buying a new bike is stupid. Period.
That depends. If it's your first or maybe second bike, sure it's usually better to go used. But one you fully intend on keeping until it dies? I'd rather have one that I know I was in control for every mile put on the mechanics of the bike.
@sidopomy
I would agree, but its 2023. Do you know what I mean?
Things are build differently than they used to.
Why ?)
I bought new MT 07 and just ride without problems
Coming from two R6 and a Crossplane R1, I just bought a 14 RSV4. Really excited for this season as I never rode an Italian before.
Once you buy an Italian bike, you will never buy anything else again.
Everything from BMW to Triumph to Honda feel the same when compared.
what do you think about the Kawasaki Ninja 750 j1
I guess?
My favourite bike is the Bimota Tesi H2. But like, I mostly just like it since it has the h2 engine and I like it slightly more than the ninja h2 because it's 19kg lighter and has the hub steering.
So, the cost of maintenance and value for money for the performance and reliability is not required to make a bike better than another?
I agree to this stance for the street bike categories, but I couldn’t agree less on the dirtbikes.
Love the video 😉
I’ve been riding since 1980. I 100% disagree. I’ve ridden them all.
Is the map of Europe in Kashubian supposed to be an Easter egg in the video? :) It took me 10 minutes to find out the language
Euro bikes are too expensive to maintain unless you are from Europe. BMW is probably a mild exception here.
The Japanese bikes are more reliable, just as fun, more practical, and less likely to cost you your months pay to repair if they do fail.
Nah, still cheaper to maintain a Japanese bike than an European here in Finland.
Moved from a 21 CBR1000RR which kept tripping a CEL for some reason, to a 23 Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory. No check engine lights and I have some mods done to it, and let me just say it is WAY more fun to ride on the road (I’m sure the RR would be a bit more at home on a track) and the sound of that V4 exhaust is absolutely absurd.
I am not going to tracks, as being a normal people who cruises and having fun, i will surely consider reliability(Japanese) over the minimal hype power(europeans)
Ima say this if limited hp is in play the R1 is no doubt the best corner machine on track Ducati is hp king and it shows but turning I’ll take R1 all day period
The 916 is the bike that made me fall in love with motorcyles a very, very, very long time ago...........still just as beautiful
The first time I seen a 916 I said I have got to have one. I still think it's the most beautiful bike ever
The MV F4 750 made me fall in love with motorbikes, but then also the Aprillia RS250 and Honda RVF400 too (I wanted to list the RC30 and RC45)
11:11 naked bikes came about after owners modified their crashed Japanese sportbikes to make it rideable again, this is by removing the fairings - they were originally called 'street fighters' after the UK magazine of the same name
F9 did an amazing episode comparing the build quality of engine blocks. How did Ryan say it…Italians turned a cheek to quality control after their first morning Esspresso.
When I was young, I loved my Ducati 851 Super Sport, just like my Italian girlfriend, just sweet and beautiful when everything was fine. But she was unpredictable, temperamental, complicated, high maintenance. She required expensive restaurants and a dozen roses. My KTM riding friend says the same. Now I settle for less passion and more peace of mind. I ride a good old 4 cylinder Honda.
Both have their pros and cons and both are equally good at copying styling elements from eachother. I personally currently only own European bikes yet all my favorites are old Japanese bikes like the RGV250, NS400R with a 2 stroke V3 (no that's not a spelling mistake, it's a V3), CBX1000 with its I6, the 250cc I4s from the 90s, the old turbo bikes. The list goes on but I love a lot of old Japanese bikes because they had very strange and daring engines whereas the big Europeans for the most part stuck with the same engine configuration they found worked in the 50s and 60s. Now I will say when it comes to modern bikes I do prefer the styling and engines of the Europeans more but my all time favorites are Japanese
Talk about the BMW s1000rr will love ur opinion😅❤❤ love this video.
This answers my question of whether the duke 990 is better than the mt-09.
Yammie, you including my Triumph Thunderbird 1600?
Nothing beats a mt03 baby!😂
Went from a Honda to an Aprilia, and I have ZERO regrets.
I loved my BMW K 1300 S, but after leaving it in pieces on the freeway, I tried a Ducati Supersport 939. It was absolute crap. It felt like there was an oven under the seat. The mirrors vibrated so badly that they were useless. And it would routinely hit false neutrals when using the autoshifter. If BMW had made a bike like the R 1200 RS with the K 1300 engine, I'd have purchased one. But they discontinued the inline 4 Ks for more boxers, and the boxer twin is annoying. A year ago, I was finally able to find a Ninja 1000 SX to test ride, and I drove it home the same day. It's smooth, quick, and comfortable. For what I want out of a bike, there isn't even a European option today.
Sorry, you can't beat a Japanese Classic Honda Rebel 🏍
the spoked wheel version that was made for 30 years 1985-2016
in the metric that matters to me most.
Hint: It's not speed, it's not power, it's not looks....
Sure, if I got the money.
And worse for my little country, some spare parts may need to wait for months to ship it.
If travelling to multiple countries, I have to make sure there's support. Some shops may not know how to fix these high tech bike.
Its ruffle feathers not rustle
I appreciate all the info and I like your channel. It's crazy you have grown your channel that much while talking that fast. Slow down- you provide valuable information but it's difficult to follow sometimes. I work in advertising making ads for the largest companies- trust me . slow down and you and your audience will benefit
When I used a bike to ride to work every day I had a Honda. Now I don't use a bike daily but for summer fun, therefore I have an Italian. When I have bad day at work, I just remember what I have in the garage and the day quickly improves.
Japanese motorbike are reliable .
The best bike is the one you are truly at one with....thats it, it doesn't depend on nation or manufacturer because they all make stellar bikes, so it's kind of.... 'niche for you', that's someting you need to figure out, could be anything to be honest, for some people its a Harley, for some a Ducati, it doesn't matter really. I like my old Fireblade, I'm lucky enough to have had lots of really nice bikes, I sold my MT10, MY SD 1290, Triumph Bobber, Harley fat bob, BMW 1200r and 1200 RT, KTM 990 SD, KTM 950 SM, Ducati 1100 Monster EVO, still have my 1998 CBR, I just like it, so there. 🙂 I really gelled with the 990 SD, but the CBR I have had since new, we just get on well.
that triumph scrambler!! juicy! 😍😍
You are tripping so hard on this one, Yam. As a owner of both Japan and Euro bikes saying it.
The motorcycle community of Reddit have answered, majority rule yammie as the most wrong motorcycle TH-camr 😂
The Monster wasn’t the original naked bike, it was the first to become popular worldwide. the Suzuki Bandit came out in 1989, and that wasn’t Japan’s first naked motorcycle.
Can you do a new Daytona 675 vid please 😊
Have you ever tried a 2-stroke motorcycle?
For my money the Yamaha MT series of bikes are still better bang for your buck and more reliable. I'm still riding my FZ07 and love it. I'd love to have a Superduke or Streetfighter but can't pull the trigger on that purchase when the MT09 exists.
First true naked was the 1988 Honda NT650.
Rode my mate's GSXR and another mate's R6 many years ago. The R6 was so boring. It was like riding an electric bike... too clean. The GSXR was very nice. I could definitely own one, but still more boring than my Duc. I now have a V2 and it's beautiful to ride. They've come a long way since my first Ducati. But the bike I've found the most fun to ride is my MV Agusta F4. It is just so raw... no electronics, no traction control, wheelie control, and only one engine mode, flat out!! 😂
My first bike is a Japanese bike, but my second will almost certainly be a European bike. I need to ride some things and figure out what I like, but a Street Triple and a 916/996 are both high on the list.
When you got money, you start loving a european motorcycle. And they know exactly whom to sell their motorcycle.

My first bike was a RS660, and my second is a panigale V4S. I dont have anything against japanese bikes, i just like euro bikes more.
As a new RS 660 owner, and first European bike owner, I approve of this video. If I could also afford the new Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono, I would buy that too in a heartbeat.
I want that Speed 400 or the 24 Duke 390. Really can't decide
390 is more potent than the 400. ultimately get what your heart wants bro.
@@HP-to4dvthe only thing giving me pause about the KTM is lack of a KTM dealership nearby. Just independent dealers that can get it. There is a Triumph dealership though
@@masterblaster9838 how far is your nearest KTM dealership?
@@HP-to4dv it's about 65 miles away
You may be right but japanese bikes are more cost-effective compared to european bikes in the Philippines.
I have 1 of each mv agusta brutale 800rr 2022 and mt09sp 2023... no doubt everytime I swing a leg over the mv its a speical event, the flair of the engine, and the performance is unmatched but and there is a big but reliability is king my friend... off course its an extreme.situation becuse we are talking about mv here but the lack of parts when something goes wrong is just unacceptable
I too love Jenessy’s Quaff
Would be nice to have one of those bikes ,Theyre stunning,
The zx 10r is still crazy tho
European bikes are may be good but when it comes to reliability and longevity no one come to close to Japanese bikes and accessibility to every rider.
I LOVE naked bikes. MV Agusta makes the most beautiful bikes ever made IMO. If I had 20-25k to drop on a bike, they would be my choice. As I don't have that kinda cash, Yamaha is my Japanese pick.
Check the used market for MV. They aren't unobtanium
Yea I got my 2019 MV Agusta F3 for $13k. New they're only $17k i don't know what you're talking about like the Brutale 1000RR or something?
Pretty impressive how 1 country is all of europes main copmetition in my opinion
Here in Europe I can only afford Japanese bikes. Bmw Ducati and Aprilia are out of my reach. Maybe I can afford a triumph, maybe. Never had any issues with Japanese, or been left stranded in the middle of the road.
tye honda cbr 1000rrr is a lemon .. massive over heating problem. The cbr 1000rrr on this site fried during testing
