I will continue to dump thousands of dollars into my Trail 125. Not because it’s a good adventure bike/dual sport. It’s because I am a broken person, and I love the stupid thing an unreasonable amount.
I have sameish 125 moped i rode for 10 years, i understand the feeling
I rebuilt a 70 something trail 90 and it was one of the coolest little things I've seen.
As long as you are enjoying yourself and having fun, frick everyone else.
im the same way with my 2012 trek hardtail.
"I dont need a rear shock, dropper post, or tubeless tires!" he exclaimed loudly as his ass get pummeled harder then a tango 1.2 miles away from chris kyle.
I'm a sportster guy singing the same song , I feel you .
Klr owner here.
I’m laughing my ass off cause you are 100% correct!
Even still, I love my KLR, it was my dad’s and I inherited it after he passed.
Not even a minute in and I already feel personally attacked
Ya same!!! 🤣
Currently sitting at a cafe with my Multistrada, checking for bullet holes and wondering how I didn't magage to get hit in the drive-by 🙏
As a KTM dual sport owner, I really thought Yammie was coming to get me... "KTM bros, we can come out now, coast is clear!"
It's always fun to read reports of how repairs were made using camel hair and a tooth you pulled out with pliers. Occasionally you read about actual riding and getting somewhere. The high tech version of the KLR guy - make it as hard as possible cuz it "ain't an adventure ...."
It’s just when you think you’re safe he’ll get you…..
Same. I 100% expected to be destroyed. Already happened in an earlier video though...
Ktm riders are hard to roast becouse they're always hiding. Fortunately they're easy to find if you know where to look. Just start checking closets, you'll find lots of ktm riders in there.
As an 890 adv r owner I have to somewhat wonder. Are we “same same, but different”, with BMW owners?
Still gonna buy a Himalayan
edit: I was always picked last in gym class
I like to think that I was just the most "underestimated" in gym class.
I was the KLR guy, I'm currently the CB guy, and I hope one day to be the Wilbur.
Nothing like a shaken up lukewarm Dr. Pepper at the end of a trail.
We are on the same path. I have a KLR, got my eye on the CB500X, and already bring Diet Dr. Pepper with me to enjoy on the trail.
Proud KLR rider here, stoked to just have a good time until the universe’s heat death
Cockroaches and twinkies and KLR’s laughing while everything else died two millennium ago
What more could one ask for?
All you KLR riders just got OWNED!! BWHAHAHA!!! After a good laugh, I'm off to ride my Royal Enfield Himalayan.
I love how it came full circle and the dual sport elitist has turned into “the thing he hates.” 🤣 You guys are a riot! I’m literally laughing so hard that I’m in tears!
I always laugh at the duel sport elitists who get into dick measuring contests about who is a "real dirt rider". What you mean "I don't go out and do stupid things and risk my health and bike trying to prove I am a "real rider"? Oh noes. I feel so inferior.
@@johnkluge3421 Well if we're measuring skill...yeah those guys probably ride way better than you... NOW... measuring enjoyment? that stupid, everyone has a different way of enjoying a ride, being it fast / slow / safe / dangerous... it's like they say, if it don't hurt anyone, who cares? - Still do to me if a guy has a dirt bike (ADV / Dual / enduro / Motocross / Scrambler (?)) and doesn't take that thing once in a while to proper off-road, he's/ she's a poser :/
@@Pedros93 I agree. If you have a bike that will do it, you should take it off road. But that doesn’t mean you have to do anything crazy or stupid with it.
@Невада большевик nope. I am just not “You are not a real dirt rider” guy
The ADV150 is pretty weird. But, it is primarily designed for countries with less paved roads and it does makes sense for that kind of use case
Trailbombing mountain villages at 10 km/h, can't do that with tiny gixxer or ninja
Nope. The ADV whatever (350 if you can believe that) scooter is shunned here as well. Luckily they wise up and don’t upgrade to the CB500X.
Hello Yammie, I just want you to know that the guy in forefront at 10:21 is a famous youtuber in Romania that did reviews about Motorcycles also, sadly he passed away a few years ago while riding his bike. Nice to see his picture being used by you . Doesn't matter the ting that you said about the Motorcycle at that minute but seeing him there in your video is just great :)
Have a nice Weekend! And try not to fly in the air, as you figured it out, we can't fly !
I felt the same when I saw him.
His name was Cristian Predoi... may he RIP... he was a great creator.
He was probably one of the best ADV/moto journalists on TH-cam.
It happened last year, in July
what the eff!! I didnt realize that!! No wonder I dont see him in their channel anymore.
Thank you for helping me reaffirm my purchase of a GS over the CB. It feels better than the compliments I get on it at Starbucks.
You never hear a scooter bro talking smack about anyone. Leave us alone we care about ur motorcycles even less then u care about our scoots. Real men ride scoots. Takes a certain level of confidence knowing you’re riding the most hated 2 wheeled vehicle to ever exist
No bro just no I owned a scooter it is practical. That thing do to small wheels and small suspension travels is inherintly way more unstable and breaks way worse handles worse in rain and if you find potholes pray to Jesus.... Scooters are city bikes and they are superior in the city to all other bikes but for literally anything else they are horrific.
@@ΑλεξανδροςΑμανατιδης-ι7ε relax bro you really shouldn’t take shit on the internet so serious
@@MinimotoelitistThere are people who actually try to help even on the internet. If you wanted to troll that's fine as well.
Show me on this emotional support teddy where the cb500x hurt you.
Plated two-stroke dirt bike + truck FTW!
You called the adv crowd accurately, but we need part 2 (and 3, 4, & 5)
Always enjoy your clever commentary
I cannot agree more. I smoked so much copium when I bought my klr650. I just sold it and am buying a vitpilen 401. Couldn’t be happier
I own a CB500 and I laugh every time it's clowned on by Papa Yam, good stuff as always.
CB500X is a great bike, and we owners have a sense of humor.
@@keithquinn5624 hahaha... good one!
I had cb 350 and a cb 750f. All my friends with much better bikes, Norton's, Harleys, brit bikes, and yes even kowisucies! Laughed at me as I gave them lifts to call for help or service! I rode anywhere! Had one flat! That's it! Always got me home!
Im just glad the cb500x is finally on a list... Any list... Lol
Loved it! I have to admit, on my list of bikes I'm currently looking at include both the CB500X and F. Used to have a FJR1300 for me/wife to ride. She didn't like it, so I got a used Goldwing, which she loves. However, now I'm looking at adding something for ME, smaller, lighter. I'm 58, so I don't need 140mph (any more). I would suggest that one of the reasons people look at ADVs is for comfort. I found the CB500X had a great seating position, and those of us that want to avoid the V-Twin boat anchors, my choices are limited. At present, I've decided on an MT-07 (with raised bars) to give me the light weight, plenty of power, and a comfortable seating position. Apparently I'm a dying breed because I want neither a Harley (or wanna be) nor do I want to lean on my wrists for hours at a time. Okay, so I wandered off topic... great video, made me LOL... out loud. :-)
My first bike (at 21) was a CB500X. I'm a quite tall guy and had a relatively tight budget. Love it, even if i had to do some changes to get the ergonomics right. Spooled about 34'000kms on that thing in the last two-and a half years and absolutely adore it as a do-anything machine.
I wanna buy a different bike with better ergonomics and cruise control so I'm currently saving up for a used R1200GSA.
I love your vids. I hate to admit it, but I'm one of those 56 year old KLR guys.. although my doohickey has been upgraded..lol
Would I like a different bike? Of course. But injuries from the military make it painful to ride cruisers and at 6'5" I'm not really built for a sport bike. So when I found the 2014 klr650 and rode it, it was just right for me.
Having said that, your jokes are great, even when they apply to me...lol. But at least I'm still riding, and I haven't let injuries keep me from doing something I love.
So keep the jokes coming and I'll keep looking for a big boy bike that isn't literally a pain to ride😉
Yam, can’t wait till you hit your fifties and become one of these guys you just hammered 😂 or a bagger.
Yup... one day you're in your Dianese one piece, sitting in pit row sipping Virgin margueritas, judging the newbies lean angles on warm up laps. The next day you lace up your brand new white NewBalance's using a belt to cinch up your knee length Jorts and tucking in you Kirkland brand golf shirt, head out to the garage and warm up your dct Goldwing...
Yes. It's called a Saturday bike and a Sunday bike.
Yammie Noob....... I can't stop laughing as I plunge my life into the world of two wheels. Your videos are amazing.. I plan on getting an adventure bike. It's funny because probably about two of things on this list will be me and I would be perfectly fine with that. Also keep up the good work, I love your videos and content. Can you do a video on the Honda monkey. For some reason my father wants me to get that as a first time bike.
monkeys are only good as a compliment to other bikes, they are slow and boring to ride as a primary bike commuting in anything other than a busy city, I got bored of a 50 cc scooter and upgraded to an sv650 and it was the best decision I made
Dad wants you to start with a Honda Monkey because it looks like the least likely two wheeled contraption to kill you, not realizing you'll be run over because you can't keep up with traffic.
@@Liberty4Ever interesting that you state that. After he mentioned the bike, I looked it up online to find that Honda states it does a max 45 mph and a max 55 moh if you are going down hill. 😀
Same, accept i am trying to chose between the Indian scout or an adventure bike
Adventure riders spend too much on their bikes. How much have you spent on your 501 now Yammie?
Then there is the quantity of time spent on the ADV. Can’t say I’ve heard of many 501s touring nationally for weeks on end. Oh no, now I’ve become the butthurt guy defending ADV bikes - the shame. The shhhaaaaaaaame!!!
Thanks Yammy, we should never take ourselves too seriously - riding is meant to be fun and, hot tip, so is life!
I don't own a CB500, but in Mexico is not that bad of an idea to pack a rain suit, specially living in Mexico City. In the morning might be hot as balls, but at 3PM, the monsoon arrives and you are going to be more soaked than an iPhone dropped in the toilet.
I dont care what anyone says, I will fight for my rebel till the end of time. Boring it may be but it shall never die and has never let ne down in the 45000 miles we have been together so far. Still strong as the day was born and yes, I do have a factory, stock exhaust thank you very much.
There's a guy in south Germany, or Austria called Schaaf on an old CB 500. Google him. He is one bad mother... It's 20% the bike and 80% the rider. I'm nearly 50, but dude I love your channel 👍
Proud CB500X here! As my first bike and everyday ride to school works like a charm. Ride to ride not for speed. Peace.
Same here!
The 500x feels like a fat kid giving all he got on the field. I like it how it is
My first "big" bike. Went with the 500 because anything bigger, I'd get in trouble. Started on a 125, but wanted to get on the highway and the monkey wouldn't go 65 up hill, only down.
ADV Bois stay frosty 🥶
There's another breed over here in Europe. The die hard classic Yamaha XT500 rider who can't stop droning about how the likes of his bike won the first two editions of the Rallye Dakar ever and therefore it reigns the ADV world supreme since its inauguration in 1976. That's B.C. of course. Even though for today standards the frame is too soft and heavy, the suspension too short and the brakes downright inexistent, not to speak of the ghastly 6V lighing system, they can't stop pointing out how this easy to fix 30-odd horsepower mototractor is by far the best vehicle ever to carry a human being across any desert anywhere in the known universe. They're a bit like the GSA folks but they set themselves apart in two important points. 1- they prefer good coffee over the shit at Starbucks. 2.- they're right. The whole ADV circus is basically just a dustcloud caused by the divine XT ridden by god himself.
😎
😂😂👌👌
And I've got an xt250. Just like the 500 but with the power and speed of a ride on mower
You know yam, ADV 150 is a bike for those who wanted an ADV look while having the practicality of a scooter. And here where I live in Indonesia, it works fine since the traffic mostly only move at 40 mph and the road is narrow. Example, the highway here is only one lane and potholes is not a rare sight.
Also, anything other than scooter here is doomed. Underbone? Their time has long pass. Proper bikes? Not enough practicality and expensive. Scooter? That's the one to go. This pretty much our mindset right now.
But who am I? I've never rode an ADV 150. Heck, I've never rode something bigger than 155cc!
Ps. My bike is a K45 CBR 150r and a first gen Yamaha NMax 155
Yeah I have a CB500X and I feel called out!!!
I fucking love the KLR man. It's a two wheeled tractor and the fucking thing won't die once you doohickey and thermobob it. It's cheap, it's durable, the community for it is amazing, and it'll get you wherever you want to be, just not fast or easy.
Holy shit, this was amazing. I feel personally attacked and I'm loving it.
Advs are for old children who remember riding their 125cc dirtbike in 1980
Actually a 75’ 125 XL!
But I'm 19 and I like Advs.
Ahh, memories...
As a Himalayan owner I'm amazed and disappointed not to get dunked on all that bad. We deserve it worse than KLR boys.
True dat!
Same....I was all... wait for it.... wait for it.... we are next.... and whew...safe.
its cause the himalayan is a good looking bike,
thats why.
@@NukeFrywalker I almost hate to admit how much the looks played into my purchase decision. But hey, as Clarkson said, it gives me *the fizz*. I hate the stupid plastic transformer toy looking modern ADV bikes.
But I'm yet to decide if it's worth the electrical and wiring issues. So far I'm down 1 fuel pump relay, 1 turn signal, speedometer cable (really friggen annoying), and I just caught my rear brake sensor just before it was about to break off. It's still a great bike, but after 3000km it's becoming clear where RE cheap out.
Missed the adventure rider who really depends on reliability because they're covering big mileage in unknown terrain, but buy a Ducati Scrambler.
The dudes that ride the adventure scooters from Alaska to Argentina are legit. That being said, my turbo busa has knobby tires and I can keep up with dirt bikes on trails that haven't been made yet. I don't stand up on the pegs, I ride backwards with my Mt. Dew.
This is hilarious, planning on getting my first adv ever, a new klr, so excited for all the “good times” ahead 🤣
I hope you're joking.
This was absolutely the best seven riders video yam has ever done
Our KLRs can ride into town for parts when those over-priced, over-powered boats fail with a bad sensor or computer. Still, we like it when you make fun of us.
Thanks Mr. Noob for all your content. I started 50 years ago on a pair of Kawi 100 and 125 scramblers. Long story short....always start your biking experience off road if you can. Learn to handle those small dirt bikes like a rodeo star, learn to maintain it yourself. You will spend as much time on your ass as yu will in the saddle, but gettin' tossed around like a rag doll and breakin things is half the fun. You can ride them things 10 months of the year, and you will be tough, hard and cut like a navy seal.
When you transition to a ADV, super sport, cruiser or bagger, everything yu learned off road will mostly apply to the street anyhow. The very best way to start is small, in the dirt and free of traffic bs. When yur tearin thru a forest dodging trees at 30 or 40 mph , then road traffic will seem real tame in comparison.
Thanks for letting an old guy rant and reminisce. I really miss those days bro 😢.
I’m Wilbur and the dual sport guy LOL. But I’ve been most of the others to over 45 years of riding.
It’s not what you ride, it’s that you ride. Experience comes over time. Stay safe.
Love my Drz in the dirt. That being said I'm looking for a hitch/trailer combo for my car to shuttle it to riding areas so I don't need to run it on highways. You're spot on.
Notification crew. The last time I came this early I ended up with my 3rd kid.
When I’m having a really bad day, I get home and listen to Yammie. Geared up with my freshly ironed Klim jacket, I ride to the Starbucks 1.5 miles away. Attempting to drive with my fresh latte, I drop the bike, the single point Barkbuster takes out my clutch cable. I then humble to the city bus, sit in back, pick my nose and calmly say to myself, “at least something tastes good.” Lol yammie. That’s a good one!!!
Please tell me you ride a GS
Lol oh yes the scooter. I bought a Honda Forza 300 and I’ll never go back to a more traditional motorcycle. It’s like riding a plush recliner down the road.
This video went a full circle. Yammie becoming the person whom he roasted in this video.
*steps up to the podium*
*Applauds*
*Steps away*
I’m planning on getting an adventure bike for my first bike. As much as I love the super sport bikes that are designed for smoother streets, the roads where I live can barely count as roads. I need something that can go on dirt without killing itself. I’m excited to see which one of these people I am cursed to become.
My BSA 250 Enduro never gets left behind. Last place sure. Let's see if any of these motorcycles will still be here in 50 years.
Uh… The realization that I have become what I despised. 😳 At least my Triumph Tiger isn’t a R1250 GS. That’s called rationalization by the way.
Now THAT is what I’m here for.
SO perfect! Stay in THAT vein!
And still, still, no love for the V-Strom, lots of simping for triumph, but no DL-1000
That’s the truth! Yammie never even mentions the V-Strom. How are we supposed to know where we stand?
Oh boy, I'm gonna be on here twice tomorrow
the last part is too accurate. Just bought a klx300 and crf300l and am ordering everything to turn them into basically adv bikes
I don’t know if I’m annoyed he didn’t pick on the DRZ- with every weight- adding adventure mod possible or not. Maybe I’m still cool. I almost bought a KLR.
Hard to pick on the best all around bike ever made.
Man!!!! I loved this one! I do BDRs and lots of bike camping!! I love my tiger XCA, I do off road, even had it buried in a mud whole, crossed rivers, and jumped logs like other dirt bikes!
Dang Yammie......angry much! LOL :) Did you just say.... "Taint Massage"!!!
I own a 500x and I have to say you're spot on, absolutely hilarious lmao
I was thinking of getting one do you not recomend them?
How dare you make fun of the 500x, it is the best balanced light wait adv. There are users with over 100000 miles on the odometer. Your Daytona can't stay in one peace until its next oil change.
Cheers to you yammie team. Keep up the good work and God bless you!
More bike roasts!!!!! Love this so funny! Can’t wait for the sportbike riders!
I knew after the brutal hit on the Honda, my poor KLR was soon to come 😂
Hey guys great vid so I brought all these thumbs ups for ya algorithms 👍👍👍👍👍🚀💯
Such Savage words. Who hurt you Papa Yam 😅
Edit: also enjoying these outros. Never change 😆
Maaaan, I haven't watched one of your videos in months, and I come back to this! You're better than ever, my dude!
Like a dog that eats its own puke. Welcome back!
I just bought a 2011 KLR and I still love it a whole week later! The best one I’ve heard is that the KLR has a lot of parts but the cheapest thing on it is the rider. 😂😂😂
I represent that remark!
Lol that outro tho..
I just dont have the words
This video needs to be required viewing before any ADV purchase! 😄
I had to pause the video after the KLR roast to stop laughing. I ride a gen1 and do call it my pack mule. When you compared it to cockroaches surviving the apocalypse I lost it. lmfao Keep your guard up Mr. Noob, I think I saw Will Smith in the comments.
I'm digging the LimpWrist reference toward s1000 riders at 6:03 of this video.
That end is creepy
Yam, you're a cruel man, but fair.
That was as savage as it was true 😁👍
I actually had hope this a video without shitting all over the Honda 500's......should've known better haha
As a RE Himalayan owner, that is pretty much where I end that conversation. But my baby is my Ducati Hypermotard 1100 S 😍😍. The Himalayan gets all of my emotional abuse and frustration
All those farkles help me get to the grocery store and back.
This is gonna be good😂
Lol “Wilbur “ my buddies would probably call me that since I’m the older guy out of the group and ride entirely too fast off road .
We hired some scooters once and took them bush. The extra ground clearance of an ADV scooter helped a lot lol.
God damn this went full circle
I have never experienced any of these stereotypes, and yet this is the funniest video I’ve seen all day
I had a DR650 in college, that was enough to inform my recent purchase of a 1290 Super Adventure 10 years later. I wanna be a young Wilbur!
I am one second in and looking forward to see how many of these types of riders I have been over the last 10 years.
Amanda from As the Magpie Flies has rolled over 50,000 miles on a CB500X so it can't be that bad.
Met a 100% match for Wilbur a couple days back and immediately thought back to this video, haha. Full match down to the mustache and modular helmet.
ADV Scooter? now there's an idea: off-road Honda Ruckus.
I couldn't with KLR section 😂, im someone that likes dependability but then that Cockroaches punchline lol!
It is very helpful to have nubby tire on a scooter. Not to drive off road, but if you have to ride on gravel road sometimes. It is a pain on a scooter with road tires. So that is great.
My tip is to learn to counter-steer. Then you want high-side the next time you take a high speed corner off-road.
And last, but should have been first… if you don't want the tip, don't read it.
I just had to ride 83 mph on a straight fire road to catch up to my buddy, who is totally a WILBUR!! As the video guy on the ride, I never had time to glove up before I was riding 2X to CATCH UP!
Right now its time to drive on the opposite side of the road during peak traffic, goodbye
Almost every off-road biker I know is the kind that just to keep up to a completely made up standard of “doing extreme offroad tracks” will never admit that they enjoy easy tracks as well even if they actually aren’t experienced enough to do hard tracks when starting to do off-road i literally had troubles finding people who’d accept to do something easy to help me learn cause everyone was like “nah dude if it’s not extreme don’t bother me” most of them for the same reason (me included) had to learn by doing hard tracks (and they also pretty dangerous tracks ngl i once fell w the whole bike off a 6m cliff and had the whole group help me lift the whole bike back up to the track, got really lucky it wasn’t one of those like 30 mt and got out of it without getting hurt and w my bike still working)
RIP Punctuation
The wr250 transformation was one of the best thriller movies I've watched all year
Came for the KLR roast, was not disappointed 😂
“Buying a personality is easier than making one of your own.”
It’s comments like these that earned you my sub. If I had a nickel for every ADV bike middle/senior aged executive that bought a brand new BMW 1250 GS (insert mod letter here) I’d be a millionaire. Especially the ones that ride with the 1000 pannier set in daily traffic with absolutely no sign of wear on their pristine, garage-kept bike.
Go to Oak Barrel Cafe/Gas station/Bakery/Deli (Exit 72 off I-68) in Little Orleans Maryland. I promise you, you will see at least 2-3 older men riding massive bmw or ktm adventure bikes covered in mud and stocked to the gills at any time of any day during riding season. Plus this place has amazing food and the best cheesecake ever.
This man woke up and chose violence 😂🤣🤣
Haha! The ending got me papa yam! Ig I consider my dr650 a dual sport and it definitely has all the Wilbur mods :/
Our DR650s slid under the radar. I’m cool with that.
Dying with laughter here… I commute on my WR, and yes, I’m working on a rally tower cos I need wind protection. Nono it’s a RALLY TOWER. It’s ok. That makes it waaaay cooler than an adv bike. No really…
The CB500 platform is not very exciting indeed, alas in Europe most 300-400cc aren't made anymore by manufacturers because of Euro5. Since we're restricted with A2 we don't have much choice, fortunately KTM still makes the 390 and Yamaha still makes the MT-03 & R3. The Ninja 400 is only available in the second-hand market and since there are not many of them available (unlike the CB500 which are bought a lot for the 2 years of A2 then sold) they're pretty expensive for used motorcycles.
TL;DR : CB500 are mostly bikes for the European market.
