“An apocalyptic jet ski that’s made for the pavement.” That’s a good description of every motorcycle.
I ride my ApoctolyptyJet Ski Made For Pavement with pride .
Triumph Speed Twin (not street twin). It's like the black sheep of the Triumph family that no one talks about or forgets exists.
Yup ... this .... ⬆⬆⬆ .... especially the new version with the USDs and radial Brembos 🤤
Them: American or German?
The other 99.9% of the world: Obviously Indian; Royal Enfield.
I actually sat on the HD iron 1200 then went over to try the scout at the indian dealer next door. Sorry I WANT to like the indians but my god are they uncomfortable for me.
@@demontamerkyuubi i think he mesns Indian as a nationality
Bro lots of Americans riding royal enfields
Royal Enfield 🤘🤣
This is the only correct answer. Wish I was so rich to be able to maintain two bikes 😩
Put down my order for an int650. It is such a smooth ride
"Neo Retro"
Didn't you already do the "things hipster riders say" video?
😄
As the proud owner of an r ninet, I'm a little biased. The ftr looks like a great bike, but my first choice from Indian would probably be a scout bobber with a mid control kit
Ride an S or a Carbon version.
The scout bobber is a spine crusher
The engine of the BMW was designed in 1920, surely it feels old and refined and indestructible because it is.
The Yammie crew should really check out the latest moto guzzi v7.
BMW's are over engineered and boring :P
not indian FTR biased at all ^^
yall keep "bashing" the cornering of the FTR ... while still having the worst tires on there :D
the front of the bmw is disgusting
Niche and character and you leave out Moto Guzzi???? C’mon now.
Oh for god sake, will you just put some new sport touring tires on the FTR already?
Yeah that was my complaint with the Indian Scout they gave away. Spite almost bit it on moderately wet roads. Seems like a liability when the winner decides to whack the throttle.
Wouldn't it be the other way around? The FTR1200 is just an american BMW RnineT
as a person that dose cross country (16 hour non stop) on the rninet its a very smooth and reliable bike. good for the twisties, the open roads, and city riding. I see it as a jack of all trades bike.
I like that red seat on the BMW. Just think how much more fun the RnineT would be with the shift cam engine.
You mentioned lap dogs, from the sounds of it more like a well trained German shepherd. It's big and you don't want to piss it off, but it can be a great companion. The ftr sounds like an American bull terrier always posturing and looking for a fight.
I would agree if every pitbull I've ever met wasn't a little sweet heart
After owning my FTR for a year now, I’ve definitely learned a lot about it, but I love it more now than I did the day I got it. Every time I see it in my garage I smile. It is truly a beautiful machine and the exhaust note is *Chef’s kiss* magnificent.
It’s definitely aggressive. Like super aggressive, but probably 20% of the time I feel like it’ll allow me to ride chill and just cruise. Maybe 10% of the time. Road trips are super fun though because you pass everybody with ease. If I had an officey type job it would definitely be an everyday rider for me, but I’m crazy like that.
Change the wheels (I went with Shinko 705s), get the right exhaust (S&S is amazing but not overly aggressive like the Bassani), and enjoy the heck outta life.
P.S. I don’t have a dune buggy, but I am a perpetual toddler.
You may have just sold me on an ftr1200 once I pay off my softail
The FTR 1200 is the American R nine T considering the BMW came out first.
Moto Guzzi
Expensive jes maybe but absolutely beautiful
I laughed so many times! Such funny analogies, and a PERFECT "That's what she said!" Keep up the good energy and playfulness.
Triumph !! Love my Bonnie
Yes! I had a Bonneville Bobber and ride an r nine t now. I love my BMW, but I miss my triumph. The Bonnie engine allows for a much smother ride, but I do enjoy the quirks that come with the bmw.
Moto Guzzi
It has a lot of character. YASSSSS Spite discovers why the RnineT boxer engine is the shiz nit
@13:38 - "Bang a quick euwie". How very Aussie of you. Normally, I just 'chuck a euwie' when I need to go back the way I came from. :-)
The Neo Retro I’m chomping at the bit to see, is the 2022 Yamaha XSR900.
Just look at an mt09
Strange, why do I like YN better when Yammie is not there? And why don't you ever try the maybe most fun bike of the market? Try a Moto Morini 1200, light, lots of torque and power and excellent handling,
Oh. And now I want one of those beamers to go with my scout, ftr, and dark horse.
Love this comparison.. i have both these bikes. No looking to sell the ftr after 6000kms. The bmw is the keeper for me- but i am sure i will miss the ftr bcs it is such a fun bike despite its mid corner handling- it does force you to pay attention. Looking at speed triple 1200 or s1000r as the ftr replacement...
Just finished your episode- yeah you nailed it with everything you said. The trail rider avon tyres help alot with grip but the feel mid corner on those 18" is still there like your riding the bike through the back wheel - whereas the front never enters your mind its rock solid. The bmw is planted stable and those bigh transver pots are like a keal on a yacht stabilizing the bike through the lean. The bmw scrambler continues to grow on me like a good friend. But your so right even with or even more so with dunlop dt3-r crap tyres its mental to ride counter steering out of corners- and the the bike makes total sense. But who can ride like that and stay alive!? Not at my skill level. My 2 cents worth.
Spike your wrong the BMW XR is not gentle-manly type.
I am looking at a fun, not something that everyone has type of a bike that is fun to ride. I had an eye on the r9t and the scrambler from the Italians... had a look at the Brits too... but the gringo turbocharged donkey got my attention with it's unique looks and rebellious character... I live and ride in Germany, so bmws are all over, the twin shocks on the triumph are too old school for me, while the for, just stands apart with that welded frame and the shock on the side... The engine is also a looker, I am left to go for a test ride some time, we shall see how the winter goes about to give the mad gringo a ride... I like the spokes on the rally, but I am not sure if the riding quality is that enjoyable with the wheel sizes of the rally... If the ftr rides somewhere between a super motard and a naked, I will get it, I am not interested in a cruiser. I hope the ride quality will not disappoint... Currently I ride the Superblackbird, I break the law all the time, riding, driving... the XX is too civilised, too quiet, I need a bike to be in tune with my old grouch personality...
The story of Napoleon and Josephine is very like a Shakespearean tragedy. I doubt he was an asshole all the time. He seemed more like an incel that simped after the first girl who fucked him (Josephine). She would cheat on him and hardly hid it when he was low ranking. By the time he became Emperor he had learned to be Alpha sexually as well. She was left simping in the end as he eventually married a young princess for political reasons. (and for an heir as Josephine was barren, iirc) Napoleon riding a R9T? Believable choice.
Really pooping out the content to try to reach 1M.
can't wait for the upcoming rninet models with the beefier suspension
Spite and Whitney episodes quickly becoming my favorite uploads on the channel. Whitney never fails to drop absolutely golden nuggets every ride.
Does Spite listen to swedish death metal?
I’m not really hearing a ringing endorsement to own either one of these bikes. Fun for a day rental but not to own is what I left learning from Whitney and Spite.
I love yalls ftr videos. My love of these new Indians makes the yammy channel my daily go to!
What about Japanese?
There is just one thing to add. The FTR is an ugly bike ;)
A comparison of the FTR with the R9T (so the classic R9T with the USD fork) would be interesting.
A few additions ;-)
Shouldn´t it be "is the FTR the American R nineT?" given the BMW came out in 2013 as opposed to 2019 for the FTR.
ANDDDDD!!! Both have been designed under the umbrella of Ole Stenegärd, so concepts might be in line with each other.
Wow! Thats interesting maybe thats why i ended up with both bikes despite some very different riding attitudes
When is the fireblade announcement
Is Harley Davidson just an American Honda Shadow?
This was a cool take on the retro bike, I think it would've been cool to add the current triumph thruxton into the mix if you were able to. Ohh another motorcycle I feel you guys should ride at some point would be the new generation triumph rocket, I thing y'all would be very surprised at the way it handles and feels, especially if you get the GT since it has the forward controls
At first I thought it was a guy trying to make his voice high pitched. My bad
Amon Amarth is still alive? Jesus.
I'd argue that the Triumph Speed Twin is the British counterpart as well
this
I have the ‘22 FTR R and the 2018 Urban GS with full Ohlins suspension. No comparison. Both great fun bikes. This was a goofy review, maybe not enough time with the Urban…..then again you are on the crappy stock suspension.
Why does Whitney sound like a guy faking a girls voice
No, the FTR came about in 2019, the R nine T 2014.
Her nasal, high pitched voice is irritating as hell...
I absolutely love Whitney’s analogies.
I completely agree about BMW shifting. Its not the same beast as other brands I have ridden. That lurch on the shift is definitely BMW
Moto Guzzi should be the same.
Is the Indian FTR1200 just an American R1250R (and R1200R) ?
Spite could like a ride on the R1250R (1250 boxer engine naked with most modern tech) and way more torque and power from down below than the R9T, also better handling and long distance ride (Bmw side cases and top cases options).
So, you get told off re Germany v USA then!?
I farted while watching this video
Had an R9T UGS, loved the bike but the suspensions were quite budget (and front forks were the same as the R9T Racer, which didn't make much sense on a "scrambler"). Front felt stiffer than it needed to, and the rear was so soft it felt harsh when you hit bigger bumps. If BMW put proper suspensions on them, I'd consider buying another one. I love those engines and the torque, aside from the fact that brand new it burned 1L/10000km of oil...and BMW said anything under 4L/10000km is considered "normal".
so, you mean the R nine T?
the top spec one has excellent equipment
@@redo1dr Yes the RnineT (the more expensive one) has higher quality suspensions than all the other RnineT
I have 2018 9T Scrambler and I agree about the suspension. Get a full set of Ohlins was my first upgrade. Now I have no real complaints about the bike.
The Analogies are ridiculous
Yep, all the R1200's have that motor that just doesn't really want to go above 4k rpm. They can but sound like a sowing machine about to explode.
Y’know Spite I’m not sure if I can get behind you with this whole “ the Indian is just not built for corners” bit you’ve got going here. I’ve got 25,000 kilometres on one and plenty of tight mountain roads have passed underneath the bike. The machine holds a line nicely on the side of the tyre and there’s grip for days, a ton of clearance and brakes and suspension more than capable of aggressive riding. What’s more is the wheel sizes and suspension travel make the bike a handy off roader too. I appreciate you may not be the most capable rider out there but don’t dump it all on the bike.
Have 8000 km on one and on a roadtrip trough the italian alps the bike had no problem keeping up with similar strong bikes. I have the Conti TKC 70 on tough
Yep. I cringe every time he says it. Bridgestone T-31s make it even better. The extra travel helps out on the rougher Arizona roads. Just hit 10,000 miles on mine.
Even on the OEM Dunlop’s I was as confident as I was having come of a 790 Duke with Michelin road 5’s.
I agree with everyone. I switched to Shinko 705s and it handles twisty roads beautifully now.
The Germans created a super versatile platform tbh!
Hello? Who was that guy with Whitney & what have you done with the real Spite? This guy actually said something complimentary about a BMW & we know Spite would never do that! Gday from Australia.
Dirt stupid and brutal
Hilarious video slot of interesting lines, is Whitney a professor or something like that? But wait, did she really say that she can sit on it for hours???!!!??? Quick, what's her webcam name!??! I need to watch that.
Awesome comparison between the two. I rode both and came, more or less, to the same conclusion.
After owning over 40 bikes, when i have enough $ i will swap my current bike for the FTR. Possibly the last one i own.
I dont have a dune buggy thou.
45,000 km on my FTR now and I've never had more fun on a bike, I never want to say goodbye. Spite gets it, it's an absolutely brick headed, blood thirsty, rampaging murderer of a motorcycle and wants nothing more than to kill every single vehicle it meets. I wouldn't have it any other way.
For real though, do yourselves and whoever wins the bike a favor, throw some proper tires on it. You've ridden the other models with the same chassis and suspension, you know that it handles fine with a good pair of shoes, you're just teasing yourselves in the meantime.
So the ftr is Chris Benoit ?
“….FTR, represents a motorcycle that’s dirt stupid and brutal.” (3:50) True, and you can’t fix stupid. The onboard tool kit is just a box of increasingly larger hammers!
AMON AMARTH NICE!
That girl has janis joplin voice, doesn't she?
"Oh lord, won't yoh buy me a Mercedes benz?"
Love amon amarth
Earballs!? 😂
Ftr1200
Why doesn't Indian make a lower powered version w maybe diff suspension to compete w the mt7 or xsr
should get some dif rubbers for the ftr some street rubber i know they have them i seen them unless it was a bold 2019 model lol
u have not really taken the ftr off road
Maybe I'm just used to it but my r9t doesn't seem to heave that lurch problem, not sure if it's just something you get used to or what
14:14 - "The peaks and the valleys"
They're called convolutions.
How do you pull off such helpful analysis and hilarious content? Nice job the both of you!
What an AWESOME video! Soooo FUNNY (and helpful).
The Indian wins in the looks department for me. Such a good looking bike.
Excellent comparison.
They look totally different but I agree that they are very similar in many ways. Price weight power torque.
Not quite a retro bike a naked bike or cruiser bike. Somewhere in between.
I seriously consider getting an r9t scrambler and then I seen the FTR and then I was conflicted.
Ended up getting neither but maybe someday I still will.
Wait wut - the opposed twin feels like a cruiser???????
Try a Z900RS and Thruxton/Speed Twin
Whitney has all three of my dream bikes. So jealous
Amon Amarth!! Shout out to the music selection at 1:42
Both of which I’ve personally owned!!! That’s so cool😁
I absolutely love the mind that is Whitney
Whitney and Spike, it’s a delight
Got to ride one of these at work and boy the jerk is real
Yammie I’m think of getting a motorcycle soon I can’t decide between the mto3 and mto7 I haven’t road a motorcycle before what’s the best option
Ninja 400
8:50 I love how you could tell spite had no idea how to respond to that
Thaaats what she said lol
FTR all the way
Would love to get an RnineT but for now I feel like it’s too expensive to buy & maintain and not really worth it
I've had a 2015 model since '16 and they're super easy to maintain. Expensive to buy? Sure, but you'll keep it forever.
Oh shit!!! That BMW is on fine looking bike!!!!
I was looking on Twisted Roads in the Austin listings and I saw your BMW and your 701 on there and next thing I knew I was contemplating a vacation to Austin, Texas just so I could rent those bikes for a week or so. Lol. Honestly s vacation doing that makes more sense to me than going and sitting on a beach.
🤷♂️
Nice Vid, i enjoy your content all the time :3
I would bring up the Triumph "Speed Twin" or "Thruxton". They have way more Character then the BMW R9T... ^^
i Own a Speed Twin myself after i testet it and the R9T bevore, and its a keeper!
Man, I would love to have a Thruxton, coolest café style bike made.
No,
Give me that non stop steroid driven ridiculous exhaust blaring American muscle.
All the time yes yes yes YES!
What region are you riding in ?
Central Texas. My homeland lmao
