I deadass bought a rokform case because of you guys and it destroyed my iphone camera twice after just one ride. Quadlock with dampner for the win! haven't had to replace my camera
As a Moto Guzzi owner, I fully agree with Yammie. A huge part of the reason I bought it was precisely the fact that it has a weird engine, shakes like it's 1950, and no one knows anything about the company (even though it's been around for over a century). But he should have picked on the electrical system, not the engine. The engine is bulletproof.
“Don’t worry, your mom thinks you’re handsome, and that your motorcycle is very fetching, she loves how not loud it is, and how it’s not fast like those other bikes, it’s very responsible, and she knows you’re going to be responsible, and safe.” That was awesome lmao
exactly how I sold me getting a supermoto to my mom (8 months after a horrible accident that almost killed me, tboned @ 35mph by a cargo van blowing a red) "its just a dirtbike, i won't go on the road much...and it only goes up to 70mph" I feel bad kind of because I know she hates me riding after that, but that's how a motorcycle addiction works.
Years ago I rode BMW Airheads and enjoyed them very much but people assumed I was a rich yuppie (I'm a welder). I got out of riding while raising a family for several years. When I got back into it I found I needed the legs forward riding position of a cruiser so I got a Honda Shadow and other metric cruisers, and then was accused of being a poser wannabe. Now, after finding a nice deal on a clean Dyna I'm told that I'm playing dress up. You just can't win with some people. Ride your own bike and STFU!
And ride what makes the most sense for you. If you enjoy it, ride it. It's not like those other people helped pay for it. Hell if I find a cycle that runs reliably and I can sit comfortably on I'm pretty damn happy.
My motorcycle, a 2005 Sportster 1200 Roadster, says "Hey, our service technician is here!" I bought it new in 2005, and put 50,000 miles on it in the first 3 years. It currently has 82,000 miles on it. It replaced the 1982 GS850G that I'd had for many years. The reason why the miles per year dropped off is because one of my clients hired me at the end of 2008 and the 500 mile days ended. The bike has done everything expected of it.
Ah man you crack me up. Please don't ever change. Fresh brewed coffee with Yammie Noob vids first thing in the morning generally means im off to a great start to a top day.
The Fat Bob roast was my favorite. "It's a reeeeraaaaaallllllll bike. You've got the matching patches to prove it and it looks great sitting out in front of your brokerage firm"
I was already really wanting the svartpilen 401 for my first bike before I even found this channel. Then you guys just made me feel really good about my inexperienced taste in bikes. My family is of Swedish decent and I thought it just fit plus it’s the coolest looking motorcycle on the market imo. Finally got enough money saved up and thanks to you guys will be buying it soon!
Having ridden the Meteor 350. I have to say that it's a very pleasant ride, comfortable, and has a slick gear change. Would I like to take one on a long trip on the freeway ? Absolutely not. It isn't fast enough for me. But for riding through town, and the odd trip on back roads. It's perfectly adequate. Why spend Harley money on something you are almost never going to take above 60mph anyway ? It's called a cruiser for a reason.
I bought one and except for the interstate, which I detest driving on anyway, I can go the speed limit anywhere else in style and comfort at 90-100 MPG for 4500 bucks and 70 bucks for year insurance. And my opportunities to kill myself are reduced by like 90% ( *made up stat* ) so its basically a no brainer. Also I'm old and I don't care.
Because a Harley can ride around town AND on the freeway? There is a lot of territory between Meteor 350 and almost any Harley. You look like a grown man. Get a 450 or larger. Triumph Bonneville's are significantly less than Harleys but still have some grunt to them. 900 and 1200 cc.
Here's a reply 2 years late. Test rode a Hunter 350 - it's shockingly better than the Meteor 350 even though the engine is the same. The tune and the exhaust are different and it's actually possible to accelerate in 5th gear. Also more confortable seat.
sv650 is dated, but that might be a good thing for a beginner. good ergonomics, good handling, it's got that rider assist to help from stalling. a beginner has to learn how to juggle multiple tasks with both legs and both hands. sv650 is perfect for someone to learn those things, and you won't outgrow it as quickly as a 300. definitely a bike to keep and pass down.
I did have a Suzuki Dr-Z 400 SM for about 5 years. And it did have aftermarket levers. But context is everything. In the US, I would definitely prefer a KTM. But I don't live in the US. I live in Kyoto, Japan. Here, traffic is congested AF. Even though I now ride a Yamaha MT-09 Tracer, I would still take my old DR-Z 400 in an A to B race anywhere in Kyoto. It was high, light, narrow, and had more than enough power in a tight traffic environment. It was a genuine urban assault vehicle. On an open road, my Tracer would flat smoke it. But I don't ride on open roads very often. Some days, I still miss the 400.
Long after the last KTM in existence is in its grave, there will still be a DRZ with more miles than the international space station ticking around somewhere on the backroads. It's an awesome bike
I own a V7 and yes, I looked at the Ducati scrambler and i was like naaah too common let's buy a bike with poor dealer coverage and where you have to retighten all the screws because otherwise you'd loose essential parts during your rides... Still a great bike tho 😂
I am disappointed he didn't go after me and my Royal Endfield Himalayan brethren, and how we like creating our own scavenger hunt looking for the parts of our bike that fell off after an actual off road ride.
I did about 30 years ago to $900 79 Kawasaki KZ650 D. Great bike, a rocket if you yanked the throttle. Put 10,000 miles a year on that beast until I started traveling for work all the time.
This vid isn't about bikes, it's about identity - persona and self-image. You gotta admit, one of the biggest uses of motorcycles (especially in current American society) is as an accessory/prop to build an image. I assure you though, there's a minority of people out there who couldn't give a flying ƒµ¢≤ what anyone _else_ think their bike choice says about _them,_ and have no unresolved gender issues. So they're free to just buy whatever bike appeals to them.
The Moto Guzzi v7 III and the new v7 850 are very reliable and don't leak oil. The owner probably just didn't tighten oil drain bolt enough because that's exactly where the puddle is located. Roasting a motorcycle for something should be based upon at least a modicum of truth, not lies.
As an owner of both the new gen Z900 and the new gen MT 09, The z900 is the better of the 2 imo. Its smoother, sportier, has better build quality, and handles better. The only thing ill give the MT 09 over the z900 is its low end punch, and the separation of the power and TC modes. Other than that, ill take the Z any day.
Bought a Meteor 350 as my first bike after trying some 600cc stuff and I don't regret my choice. I use it for town streets, country roads and mountain roads for my commute to work and I love it. Not everything has to be "hurrr durr big engine go vroum"
I'm glad you mentioned Moto Guzzi . My late wife and I rode them for nearly fifty years. I still ride the California 2 with over 200,000 miles, She never rode anything else.
3k on a drz400sm, this dude on drugs. Those bikes in good condition can't be found under 6k anywhere in the US. Drz400sm is the true working class supermoto. Taking a ktm690 down and up stairs isn't as fun. Pay 2x the price on a bike your going to drop isn't fun. If your not dropping your super moto going off road, trying new things, driving on road, to the Beach, in mud, then you have the wrong bike. Using a supermoto to just be on road is like using a Swiss army knife just for the tooth pick part.
It's also ridiculous that he complains about harley riders saying "get a real bike" while essentially doing the same thing simping for overpriced euro bikes
@@joshabreu1156 that's why i don't agree with everything on this channel. Simping over over priced euro bikes is so lame... Paying 2x the money to have the same fun on a less comfortable ride is the most poser thing ever, just to say ur on a euro bike and it's specs. You could pike up a drz400sm in good condition around 6k and 1k in mods. After taxes, fees, registration you would be at about 7.5k That's a pretty penny of money but it's a good toy to use in mud, drop, lend to good friends, learn on, travel with. Vs paying 2x the price at 14k never using it to it's full potential, not wanting to really use it because your still paying for it... idk it just doesn't make sense for most situations. Unless your going to the track alot... but let's be honest maybe just 1% of people do
@@oscarbear7498 don't get me wrong, I'm not anti euro bike and I like some of them. But to shit on a cheaper bike because it doesn't have the same tech is ridiculous. Yeah it's way less money, you get less features. But it'll last longer and get you to the same places. Not everyone can throw down upwards of 10k for a bike. Some want to be able to buy a house instead of live in a crappy apartment and own fancier bikes
@@oscarbear7498 I'm very happy with my DR650. I was able to buy it used just before prices shot up. I'd rather own this bike that I paid cash for than finance a fancier bike tbh
I like the bit about the Z900. My buddy who has a Z900 told me that he was originally looking for a MT-09 and couldn't find a good deal in the area. He said he found a good deal on his Z900 and bought it. It's a really nice bike. But I'm sure that like Yammie mentioned, deep down he still wishes if he had bought a MT-09. Back then I had a FZ-07. Later on I got a gen 3 MT-09. Jokes aside, I think my buddy's Z900 is more confidence inspiring compared to my MT-09. Maybe he made the right decision to go with a Z900.
He’s right about the Rs 660 damit . Every time someone says something to me at a gas station or bike meet , it’s about reliability. I’ve had zero issues for real . My Ktm on the other hand was only ready to race to the dealer !
I just traded in my 2021 Africa Twin Adventure on a Taureg660. You’d think I just did the stupidest thing possible in the motorcycle world if you ask other riders. I have a 1000 mile trip this weekend and zero worries.
@@zyonsdream Someone is going to write how we are both wrong and Aprilias are crap now lol nice bike by the way I’m thinking about adding one to my garage.
Roast the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 all you want, but those of us who own one know what a GEM it is! We know how much value it offers. And, we don't have to show off our manhood, because we're secure in ourselves. If I couldn't get the Fireball Yellow, I'd own the Stellar Blue one you featured... :)
I owned the INT 650 for a while (obviously not the meteor) and I can vouch for Royal Enfield being stupidly reliable (apart from the electronics). I live up north, and mine would always start, even in below freezing temps. They just work.
I’ll be watching more of your content so when the time comes to buy a new motorcycle, it is not being roasted on the channel. Thanks for the advice papa Yammie
As an MT07 and DRZ owner, yes, I do want to do hoodrat stuff with my friends, but thats usually done on the DRZ, and it's one of the few without Amazon parts. (Name brand hand guards, levers, and tail tidy)
My CRF230L says to people im a scared new rider that cant handle to much power but wants to explore easy trails while being able to ride on the road. What it really says is I enjoy multiple types of riding from enduro, easy trails, racing, road, and freestyle but I am broke on disability pension so cant afford to have a different bike for each style, while also not being able to afford to buy a car that I could use to transport a dirtbike that is not road registered :( FML
@@whodat4265 to each their own I suppose. I rode the gsxs and it's smaller yet heavier. The seating postion doesn't set you "in" the bike like the z900 and it wasn't as potent in the mid range rpm. It was more rev happy but the z900 just goes no matter what gear or rpm you are in.
Oh god. Any time I go out on my Bonneville I get at least 2 older men talking to me. I don't mind it, and they're usually very nice! But it's been an hour and I just wanted to get lunch.
It's because they remember when motorcycles looked like motor cycles, not Transformers. All that body work on bikes (Ninja style) just gets in the way and adds weight. Fine for a race track, but impractical and, IMO, grandiose on the street (and ugly colors). Keep the Bonney, though imperfect also, they have stood the test of time and so have Harley's. I have a '22 Triumph Street Scrambler, and I'm on Medicare. Cheers.
@@x-man5056 wow whats so impractical about plastics they cover you from the wind they keep the heat there they also are easy to clean there is no reason to consider them impractical
@@cristianseminario7899 If you are talking about dresser/touring bikes, yes. If you are talking about crotch rockets, no. A fairing/windshield is nice. Practical. The body work for aero on Ninja type bikes is not needed on the street at all, it is purely cosmetic under 100mph. It may help you fantasize about being a real racer, but it is just way in the way to do even minor maintenance IMO. You don't have to be "practical' to enjoy your ride, if you just like the looks of the body work, go for it. But on the street at anywhere near speed limits, it's just extra cargo on the bike.
I went for the sv650 because my first bike was a ninja 500 and I wanted something similar, but more. And I didn't get a test ride because dealers just couldn't keep used stock at the time. Just glad I got the A instead of the X.
First time I saw a yamaha mt07 I thought it was really ugly. Now I think its one of best looking 🤷🏻♂️ Tastes change and some bikes take a while to get used to.
How dare you even let the name Harley Davidson come from your lips. My REAL man's bike is the best. It runs down my neighbors scooter. It leaves the local loggers and mining trucks at the stops. Fatbob life son! Wooooot woooooot. Keep these up Yammie. Loving it.
Thanks to your videos, the Husky svartpilen was very difficult to find. I had to go with the clip ons. Sold it 4 months later and got a z900, no I don't want a mt09 but it did cross my mind. Now I want a harley... I just keep going the wrong direction.
It’s a fantastic technology that makes motorcycles more accessible, but in a country of automatic cars, I really hope it doesn’t become the majority of motorcycles.
Moto Guzzi v7's are reliable, no oil leaks or jokes about Italian quality, sorrie Yammie, Moto Guzzi Noobie. But you can make jokes about how slow they are and how only old and retired people ride them. Regards - V7 Racer owner.
I run a speed twin 900 Bonneville for commuting. At least twice a day, I have an old timer spend 30 minutes talking about their '48 panhead; Or a cafe racer that their dads used to ride. I love the stories, and love that it takes them down memory lane. But please quit trying to sit on my bike. 😅
Tbf I got a meteor 350 as a bike to learn on, works great for relaxing back road riding, anything over 50mph tho, let's just say a bicycle with a lawnmower engine would feel less sketchy
I have a 1200 sportster chopper I absolutely love that thing my favorite bike I've owned. Also can confirm as a former Annual pass holder at Disneyland they cats are 100% real and can commonly be seen by Indiana Jones Adventures: Temple of The Forbidden Eye.
Funny “rant”. But , I’ve had an Aprilia since May 2008 (14YRS). Well maintained, serviced on time. No single issue. But I understand…. Every time I see a Harley…. (Over priced, not creative in style since their beginning, Most riders are “depends” wearing, geritol Consumer from old days of Talc, railroad track on wheels, limited distance tours as Old Folks home has a curfew for the residence to be back for each meal (and snack time).
i had a good laugh bout this video. I ride a 1998 Yamaha Virago 1100. I have found it to be very reliable and comfortable. I am looking at a Moto Guzzi 1200 that is about 10 years old. I enjoy the driveshaft which is soother and requires little to no maintenance compared to a chain drive or belt drive. I have had three driveshaft bikes and love the way they work and do not break down.
Just curious, during bloopers when you bust up laughing are you with other people in a studio? Or are you by yourself in your bedroom with a David Letterman mic that you polish everyday?
I bought a iron 1200 for my first bike almost two years ago (brand new 2020) and I've been questioning my decision about my purchase because I hardly ride it. I only rode on the interstate about 3 miles and got off on the very next exit. I still have the fear of leaning it. I don't want to join on group rides when I see them posted on certain fb group pages because I fear I'll piss everyone off and I don't know anyone who rides lol. As I said, it's been almost 2 years since I bought it and I only put about 3000 miles on it mainly going to work and back. I do enjoy when I ride and I even got a gopro 7 to attach to my helmet (yes, I wear a helmet, call me a wimp, I don't care) to record when I do ride. I'm hoping soon I'll find myself riding to work more often and on the weekends, but I gotta say that holding that throttle constantly because my bike isn't equipped with cruise control sucks.

As an MT07 owner I respect your incorrect opinion that my motorcycle is ugly, I enjoy making kids think a Decepticon is tailgating their mom

Im riding a $1500 2004 zzr 250 there's no shame in it bro
Yeah but resale is good when you are at the bottom of the depreciation curve.
9:32 DAMN THATS TUFF bro was personally banned for owning this
3k on a drz400sm, this dude on drugs.
Those bikes in good condition can't be found under 6k anywhere in the US.
Drz400sm is the true working class supermoto. Taking a ktm690 down and up stairs isn't as fun.
Pay 2x the price on a bike your going to drop isn't fun.
If your not dropping your super moto going off road, trying new things, driving on road, to the Beach, in mud, then you have the wrong bike.
Using a supermoto to just be on road is like using a Swiss army knife just for the tooth pick part.
Yeah 3K for the drz doesn't exist right now I tried lol
It's also ridiculous that he complains about harley riders saying "get a real bike" while essentially doing the same thing simping for overpriced euro bikes
@@joshabreu1156 that's why i don't agree with everything on this channel.
Simping over over priced euro bikes is so lame...
Paying 2x the money to have the same fun on a less comfortable ride is the most poser thing ever, just to say ur on a euro bike and it's specs.
You could pike up a drz400sm in good condition around 6k and 1k in mods.
After taxes, fees, registration you would be at about 7.5k
That's a pretty penny of money but it's a good toy to use in mud, drop, lend to good friends, learn on, travel with.
Vs paying 2x the price at 14k never using it to it's full potential, not wanting to really use it because your still paying for it... idk it just doesn't make sense for most situations.
Unless your going to the track alot... but let's be honest maybe just 1% of people do
@@oscarbear7498 don't get me wrong, I'm not anti euro bike and I like some of them. But to shit on a cheaper bike because it doesn't have the same tech is ridiculous. Yeah it's way less money, you get less features. But it'll last longer and get you to the same places. Not everyone can throw down upwards of 10k for a bike. Some want to be able to buy a house instead of live in a crappy apartment and own fancier bikes
@@oscarbear7498 I'm very happy with my DR650. I was able to buy it used just before prices shot up. I'd rather own this bike that I paid cash for than finance a fancier bike tbh
I like the bit about the Z900. My buddy who has a Z900 told me that he was originally looking for a MT-09 and couldn't find a good deal in the area. He said he found a good deal on his Z900 and bought it. It's a really nice bike. But I'm sure that like Yammie mentioned, deep down he still wishes if he had bought a MT-09. Back then I had a FZ-07. Later on I got a gen 3 MT-09. Jokes aside, I think my buddy's Z900 is more confidence inspiring compared to my MT-09. Maybe he made the right decision to go with a Z900.
Wow did he skipped on roasting CBR500R owners? lol I feel blessed.
I was waiting for it myself lol
Lucky you, I've got a cbr250r lmao
@@dustythatsme9793 I started out on that, so I know how you feel sir.
I'm hopping on my Royal Enfield Super Meteo 650 and riding down to the local cafe for a Spritz.

Lol
Lowkey mad as fuck at how accurate your roast of the SV650 was because it was your videos that convinced me to get one as my first bike lmao
BREAKING NEWS!!!
Yammie admits to being a degenerate!
Claims owning a turbo-busa is proof that you are one. Full story at 11.
Yup the Turbo Busa roast is definitely his self roast haha
‘18 Fat Bob owner-knew it was gonna be on the list! Got em Yammie! Loved this video!
I came for the FXFB too. Bought a ’19 and love it. Never been a mainstream consumer. Honored to be on the list.
Holy that sv 650 hit me so on the spot, no regrets thou :D
He’s right about the Rs 660 damit . Every time someone says something to me at a gas station or bike meet , it’s about reliability. I’ve had zero issues for real . My Ktm on the other hand was only ready to race to the dealer !
I just traded in my 2021 Africa Twin Adventure on a Taureg660. You’d think I just did the stupidest thing possible in the motorcycle world if you ask other riders. I have a 1000 mile trip this weekend and zero worries.
@@zyonsdream Someone is going to write how we are both wrong and Aprilias are crap now lol nice bike by the way I’m thinking about adding one to my garage.
Roast the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 all you want, but those of us who own one know what a GEM it is! We know how much value it offers. And, we don't have to show off our manhood, because we're secure in ourselves. If I couldn't get the Fireball Yellow, I'd own the Stellar Blue one you featured... :)
I owned the INT 650 for a while (obviously not the meteor) and I can vouch for Royal Enfield being stupidly reliable (apart from the electronics). I live up north, and mine would always start, even in below freezing temps. They just work.

If you get the Rokform mount make sure to get the anti-vibration pad or it will for sure mess up your phone like it did mine.

it’s been a couple years and yam never fails to make me cackle. cheers

Uh-chair-bees
I’ll be watching more of your content so when the time comes to buy a new motorcycle, it is not being roasted on the channel. Thanks for the advice papa Yammie
You will definitely love your new turbo Hayabusa
I first wanted the Z900 for my A2 License but now I got a MT-09. I’m finally different
The bloopers was the best part of this one….
I laughed so hard though…lol
Regarding Triumph Bonneville.. this is one bike you can buy brand new and don’t have to worry much about theft while keeping it in the big city.
You’re like the David spade of Motorcycle columnists. But funnier and you actually do provide a beneficial opinion. Good work!
As an Aprilia RS660 owner, I feel the least attacked out of everyone on this list.
Feels good man.
As an MT07 and DRZ owner, yes, I do want to do hoodrat stuff with my friends, but thats usually done on the DRZ, and it's one of the few without Amazon parts. (Name brand hand guards, levers, and tail tidy)
I know you don't see this, but it is hilarious that there is a Quadlock ad played immediately after you first said Rokform.
I love that Yammie creates a roasting video and is utterly unable to pronounce Husqvarna correctly, and also kinda messed up Moto Guzzi 🤣
My CRF230L says to people im a scared new rider that cant handle to much power but wants to explore easy trails while being able to ride on the road.
What it really says is I enjoy multiple types of riding from enduro, easy trails, racing, road, and freestyle but I am broke on disability pension so cant afford to have a different bike for each style, while also not being able to afford to buy a car that I could use to transport a dirtbike that is not road registered :(

Pre-watch: Got my popcorn, buying my first bike soon, this should be good 😂
What bike I lookin at?
The answer is z900 no matter the question... lol
@@Joshie-Z I was thinking zh2😂
@@Joshie-Z gsxs750 better thoo
@@whodat4265 to each their own I suppose. I rode the gsxs and it's smaller yet heavier. The seating postion doesn't set you "in" the bike like the z900 and it wasn't as potent in the mid range rpm. It was more rev happy but the z900 just goes no matter what gear or rpm you are in.
MT 07 owner here. Yes, exactly what you said.
With Spite as a prior owner, I was hoping for a more intense VFR burn..
Also why not include the venerable GSXR250?
These guys have way too much fun making their videos!
Oh god. Any time I go out on my Bonneville I get at least 2 older men talking to me. I don't mind it, and they're usually very nice!
But it's been an hour and I just wanted to get lunch.
It's because they remember when motorcycles looked like motor cycles, not Transformers. All that body work on bikes (Ninja style) just gets in the way and adds weight. Fine for a race track, but impractical and, IMO, grandiose on the street (and ugly colors). Keep the Bonney, though imperfect also, they have stood the test of time and so have Harley's. I have a '22 Triumph Street Scrambler, and I'm on Medicare. Cheers.
I ride a Bonneville. Can relate.
@@x-man5056 wow whats so impractical about plastics they cover you from the wind they keep the heat there they also are easy to clean there is no reason to consider them impractical
@@cristianseminario7899 If you are talking about dresser/touring bikes, yes. If you are talking about crotch rockets, no. A fairing/windshield is nice. Practical. The body work for aero on Ninja type bikes is not needed on the street at all, it is purely cosmetic under 100mph. It may help you fantasize about being a real racer, but it is just way in the way to do even minor maintenance IMO. You don't have to be "practical' to enjoy your ride, if you just like the looks of the body work, go for it. But on the street at anywhere near speed limits, it's just extra cargo on the bike.
Weirdly I have more old people talk to me when I'm riding my Street Triple than when I'm riding my Bonneville.
I went for the sv650 because my first bike was a ninja 500 and I wanted something similar, but more. And I didn't get a test ride because dealers just couldn't keep used stock at the time. Just glad I got the A instead of the X.
First time I saw a yamaha mt07 I thought it was really ugly. Now I think its one of best looking 🤷🏻♂️ Tastes change and some bikes take a while to get used to.
How dare you even let the name Harley Davidson come from your lips. My REAL man's bike is the best. It runs down my neighbors scooter. It leaves the local loggers and mining trucks at the stops. Fatbob life son! Wooooot woooooot. Keep these up Yammie. Loving it.
Okay Yammie here it goes. I've got a 86 vfr 750, a 2000 zx7r, a 07 stratoliner, a 07 r1200r and a 18 tnt 135. Have at it!
I’m definitely game to see you ride the Z900. However I know your gonna shit all over it out of spite because people won’t quit asking 😂
Thanks to your videos, the Husky svartpilen was very difficult to find. I had to go with the clip ons. Sold it 4 months later and got a z900, no I don't want a mt09 but it did cross my mind. Now I want a harley... I just keep going the wrong direction.
Admit it. DCT is AWESOME. :)
Haven’t gotten to ride one yet but I agreed. It seems pretty damn cool! Especially on the Africa twin
It’s a fantastic technology that makes motorcycles more accessible, but in a country of automatic cars, I really hope it doesn’t become the majority of motorcycles.
You wouldn't know, of course, but Guzzis can be both italian AND reliable. My V7 stone gave me ZERO problems! Just put gas and check tire pressure.
Happy the MT-07 didn’t get flamed.
Moto Guzzi v7's are reliable, no oil leaks or jokes about Italian quality, sorrie Yammie, Moto Guzzi Noobie. But you can make jokes about how slow they are and how only old and retired people ride them. Regards - V7 Racer owner.
Bought a 2013 Triumph Datona 675R as my "first bike". Had it for a week and can say I'm not dead yet.
Thank you for this video. Yam, I honestly believe this is one of your best,
I run a speed twin 900 Bonneville for commuting. At least twice a day, I have an old timer spend 30 minutes talking about their '48 panhead; Or a cafe racer that their dads used to ride. I love the stories, and love that it takes them down memory lane. But please quit trying to sit on my bike. 😅
When I saw the MT-07 on the thumbnail my curiosity was intrigued
Great job here man 🤟💥🔥🔥🔥🦾
Tbf I got a meteor 350 as a bike to learn on, works great for relaxing back road riding, anything over 50mph tho, let's just say a bicycle with a lawnmower engine would feel less sketchy
The few times I have dropped my Ninja 300, onlookers say - "its too big for you". I'm 5'2" 110lbs.... This is my perfect bike.
I have a 1200 sportster chopper I absolutely love that thing my favorite bike I've owned. Also can confirm as a former Annual pass holder at Disneyland they cats are 100% real and can commonly be seen by Indiana Jones Adventures: Temple of The Forbidden Eye.
I got buthurt after I seen my first yammy vid about the sportser 883 but then I got your sense of humor and I really appreciate your clips
As a previous owner of a cbr 300 and now a owner of an iron 883. It’s okay it’s slow 😌 i just enjoy my ride
2021 Suzuki SV650 Yep, I bought the Only one in SoCal. Of Course it was on here. Lol Pearl Tank Red Frame/wheels. Great Stuff!! Thanks Yammie
Funny “rant”. But , I’ve had an Aprilia since May 2008 (14YRS). Well maintained, serviced on time. No single issue.
But I understand…. Every time I see a Harley…. (Over priced, not creative in style since their beginning, Most riders are “depends” wearing, geritol Consumer from old days of Talc, railroad track on wheels, limited distance tours as Old Folks home has a curfew for the residence to be back for each meal (and snack time).

OOF. He kept the manifesto joke in after the Buffalo shooting. Papa Yam has balls. Big ones.
i had a good laugh bout this video. I ride a 1998 Yamaha Virago 1100. I have found it to be very reliable and comfortable. I am looking at a Moto Guzzi 1200 that is about 10 years old. I enjoy the driveshaft which is soother and requires little to no maintenance compared to a chain drive or belt drive. I have had three driveshaft bikes and love the way they work and do not break down.
Papa Yam you are The Best Motorcycling Comedian of all time!
Not me bingeing Yammie videos
Thank you for mentioning my bike and roasting me I feel like a real boy now
Just curious, during bloopers when you bust up laughing are you with other people in a studio? Or are you by yourself in your bedroom with a David Letterman mic that you polish everyday?
That was great very witty very humorous very quick. Loved it.
My cat always gets freaked out by your outro lmao
I bought a iron 1200 for my first bike almost two years ago (brand new 2020) and I've been questioning my decision about my purchase because I hardly ride it. I only rode on the interstate about 3 miles and got off on the very next exit. I still have the fear of leaning it. I don't want to join on group rides when I see them posted on certain fb group pages because I fear I'll piss everyone off and I don't know anyone who rides lol. As I said, it's been almost 2 years since I bought it and I only put about 3000 miles on it mainly going to work and back. I do enjoy when I ride and I even got a gopro 7 to attach to my helmet (yes, I wear a helmet, call me a wimp, I don't care) to record when I do ride. I'm hoping soon I'll find myself riding to work more often and on the weekends, but I gotta say that holding that throttle constantly because my bike isn't equipped with cruise control sucks.
At least your not like me I bought the 883
@Gabe Sonnier Dude I got a Meteor 350, count your blessings. 😆 🤣 Let's see if someone can 1 down me!
Literally bought the 401 because of you videos 😂😂😂😂 and I love it!
