    If one of you vulcan owners lives in the Austin area and want to prove Spite wrong toss your bike up on Twisted Road, maybe he'll rent it and have to eat some humble pie. Use the link www.twistedroad.com/ref/yammie for a free day of riding. And don't worry, Papa Yam is coming back tomorrow and then Friday for a big.... BIG REVEAL!

      As a Vulcan owner I can say yeah it's boring as hell. When you really think about it It doesn't really fall into a Solid category A bit peppier than the Harley boys ride but still not quite up to par For a hard ride with some street bikes and those are the things they don't tell you at the dealership my Vulcan is my 1st bike I've only had it for about a year now And where as the 650 platform is definitely enough engine for me right now it's just all the little things that drag you down over time But it came in at a decent price plus my options were between it and a rusted out rebel 300 At the dealership so I took it lol Would love to get my hands on a scout

      I'm not much for cruisers but if I were to buy one it would probably be a Triumph Speedmaster. That 1200 cc engine runs like a Swiss watch. I'd switch out the forward controls for mid controls from the Bobber. I absolutely hate the forward control riding position.

    I cannot be happier with my Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber, I've put so far 3,000 miles on it and I enjoy everything about this bike.
    Yes, it has 55hp, but it's also more than a 100lbs lighter than a HD Sportster, it has plenty of power and torque for the highways.
    I removed the heavy and very quiet stock exhaust and put the Mivv slip-ons, it sounds really really amazing!!
    Why did I purchase a MG?
    Well, it comes standard with traction control (normal road and rain mode), ABS with Brembo brakes, driveshaft, passenger seat & foot pegs, etc.
    Moto Guzzi has been making bikes in the same Italian factory since 1921, their very distinctive V-twin attracts a lot of attention and it is beautifully made, the position of the engine also improves the cool down (believe it or not even with the tough European emissions regulations this bike comes with an air & oil cool engine), and if needed for maintenance, you don't need to remove the fuel tank in order to have access to the valves.
    In conclusion, I think every bike offers certain characteristics that can make it special or perfect for you, and I also believe that this bike offers a lot of value for its price.
    🤘🏻Enjoy your bike & ride safe 🤘🏻

      Ditto that! The V9 won’t wow you with it’s power, but the torque is always there when you need it. It’s not heavy, but is fine cruising on the hiway. That transverse V always puts a smile on my face. The tank is big enough for long rides and maintenance is easy.

  • @jcliggett53
    @jcliggett53 4 ปีที่แล้ว +52

    I test rode the Indian Scout Bobber and the HD Roadster back-to-back and there is no comparing the two. The Indian was smooth and effortlessly powerful, with self-cancelling turn signals ON THE LEFT handlebar. The Harley shook and vibrated, had a shift lever that could not be reached from the foot peg, and had that infernal right-hand turn signal that is a menace to society. Needless to say, I bought the Scout and love it. I also need to call you out on your exhaust comparisons, because the pipes on the Scout in your video are definitely NOT stock, and I think that was the case for some of the other bikes, too. So unfair to compare.
    I also own a Moto Guzzi V7 so I was delighted to see the V9 show up at the top of your list, and to actually hear someone describe the shaft drive as an asset (something which I believe, but can find few others who do). But why list the Triumph Speedmaster and not the Bonneville Bobber? I have also ridden one of those, and found it lacking compared to the Scout, but it should have made your list somewhere. If the MG V9 is a cruiser, then the Bonneville Bobber is, too.

    I'm one of the last losers in my area to take the msf course on an old rebel. Her name was Valerie. It was actually one of just two cruisers in the class, and the last carb bike in the line up; I had the only fuel valve in the parking lot. The rest were newer, shinier, and more popular tu250's and one cool blue intruder 250. I'm glad i picked the rebel. The motorcycle incited the rider to care of its controls, as to not buck it or lug the engine. I started out as the worse rider in the class and came out the best student because i chose a beat up old rebel. She's been relegated to reserve duty now, in case one of the new suzukis gets crashed out or has some other failure. The tu250 is a nice easy bike to learn, the rebel offers a lot to learn.

  • @gapper3
    @gapper3 4 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    I was very pleasantly surprised to see the V9 Bobber Sport at the top of the list. I have one myself and chose it pretty much for the reasons you mentioned. It has tons and tons of character (those shakes and rattles, to me, sound like what a motorcycle should sound like) and is a joy to toss around. BUT. I will note a few less stellar points in the interest of fairness.
    1) The rear brake is pretty weak. You REALLY have to stomp on it to get some action. The single Brembo up front kinda compensates but I would feel a lot more comfortable with a beefed up rear brake.
    2) The stock seat is hard as a rock. I had it rebuilt with gel but it still hurts my ass after an hour on the road.
    3) The stock exhaust sounds nothing like what you show on your video (unless the US version comes stock with Zards). Your video shows a V9 Bobber Sport with a Zard exhaust (Cost: Over 850 Euros).
    Anyway, well done. It's rare that motorcycle channels give much credit to MG. One last point that I'd like to raise is that MGs are completely built and assembled in Italy. There is no outsourcing to Thailand (I'm looking at you Triumph) or any other cheap labor country. Everything on the bike is metal and fit and finish is absolutely first class.

    Way back in 1987, I purchased a 1985 Honda Goldwing Interstate. I was shocked at how nimble it was in the curves and how powerful that 1200 flat four was. Once I pulled up next to a 750 sport bike and noticed that at 55 mph he had already downshifted. I was in top gear (5th). He hit the gas before I downshifted so I just rolled on the throttle. He kept looking over at me because I kept up with him without downshifting.. I took the Goldwing to Germany with me when I got stationed there. There were places with no speed limit. I got up to 125 mph and still climbing and ran out of nerve.

    I really liked the Triumph speed master as a second bike for my wife and I. It has a lot of pros like ABS, traction control, cruise controls, all metal tins, classic look with modern tech, fuel gauge, good sound, and a very classic feeling engine. However we ultimately went with an Indian Scout because it has a belt drive (I hate chain maintenance), aluminum frame, better handling, more accessories, more dealerships, assembled in America, mag wheels, easier to clean and has the best modern vtwin engine I’ve ever experienced.
    However if I were to get a motorcycle for pure customization it would probably be the Triumph Bobber. Indian and Triumph imo makes the best modern classic motorcycles on the planet.

Yeah, it may not have a ton of character, but for those of us who want the performance of a street fighter with the comfort of a cruiser and who don't have the money for a Vmax it's a bit of a no brainer.

    Let's talk honestly: As an HD owner and passionate about the history of this brand, I say that the current manufacturer of Harley Davidson betrayed his client by producing this ancient jewel, in China, in Brazil. The result is that in my garage I have a lot of nice irons rusting and giving mechanical problems all the time. I also have a 25 year old Honda Drean (to go buy bread) without a sign of rust. To top it off, when I turn on my HD what I hear is a detestable electronic sound. For me HD died long ago.

    guys, being Italian it's so strange to hear a 500 being described as "SO SLOW", here, in the land of ducatis, Aprilias, and very fast riders it's perfectly OK to drive a 125 as a grown adult because we don't really have to go any faster than 60 mph on normal roads and highways are really not needed to get around, and if you wanna be able to use them you could always use a 250, which is considered a great bike

    • @GabryLuke3D
      @GabryLuke3D 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Da italiano ti capisco, ma le maggiori dimensioni del motore spesso non portano ad una maggiore potenza espressa in cavalli e quindi prestazioni da alti regime motore (caratteristiche che trovano più soddisfazione in pista che in strada) ma servono a dare al motore molta coppia nei basso-medio regimi. Questa caratteristica prerogativa di tutte le moto cruiser e di diverse naked è invece utilissima in strada, perché ti regala un motore reattivo e divertente, capace di tirare fuori subito trazione anche in situazioni di necessità.
      Rimane il fatto che (pur sottolineando che le moto "piccole" non sono inferiori alle grosse cilindrate ma che ne sono diverse e per diversi scopi) 125 e 250 sono a tutti gli effetti piccole cilindrate. Divertenti, senz'altro, ma indiscutibilmente limitate

      @Raphael Gallo yes not very cheap, almost all people get car license and it allows to ride 125cc too, for bigger displacement you need the motorcycle license, cheaper than car license if you already had.
      The most popular scooter are 125-150-300-350cc, the most popular motorcycle are much bigger in displacement, all top 10 most sold motorcycles are over 650cc, the most popular one is 1250cc

If i shift my bonneville all the way down to 1rst or 2nd gear and let off the throttle, I will sail straight through a stop doing 20-30km an hour, it will not stall or slow, in fact the revs will increase as if the bike refuses to bog down.
