As a former die-hard cruiser guy, the crusier scene is kind of divided into two camps. Some guys and gals want those tech-driven, real sleek bikes, while others want the old-school heritage bikes. Indian can facilitate both of those camps, while Harley really can't just yet. I think the Pan Am is cool, and I like the nightster more than the sportster s.
For a kid that had the spark for motorcycles grew on mid to late 1980's, the Cagiva Elephant 900 was one of the greatest "Dakar" bikes. Someone probably came with the idea of recreating it but Cagiva is so out of the radar it wouldn't catch. It was brilliant to use the Ducati brand power today to do it, and beautifully pay homage to the classic "Lucky Strike" paint scheme. Just awesome.
Im a big Aprilia fan and was excited when the Taureg was release. I owned one for a short time. My only complaint would be the motor falling on it’s face, off-throttle. I felt like I had to keep the revs up all the time. Ive since gone to a Husqvarna 701 I built up into a rally type bike. Lots more fun.
I completely agree with you on the points about horsepower figures being focused way too much on. I own a 22 GSX-S1000 with "only" 150HP, and for anyone who has ever spooled up one of these bikes you quickly realize just how beyond overkill this thing is for the street. Once you've experienced this, it becomes completely laughable when people start talking about how 150HP is "not enough" in the streetfighter class because bikes like the V4 streetfighter exists. As if it makes ANY difference for a street/road rider! Even the MT-09 is totally overkill for the streets if you're planning to stay out of jail.
I enjoy your mostly non-biased approach to motorcycles. It is a breath of fresh air. I am an old biker, my first was a Honda 90 Super Sport, then a Lambretta, 305 Hawk, Yamaha, Kawasaki on and on. I am wondering from a demographic point of view who has the most accidents. When a 19 year old can jump on a 160 HP bike as his first. I would assume that the majority of accidents in the US on motorcycles is in the age group of 18-30. I then contrast that thought to the UK with there mult-level motorcycle licensing and wonder how motorcycle accidents in the UK in the 18-30 year olds compairs to US. Maybe if you run out of things to do, you could research this. Just saying. Be happy, be safe
It’s good to see Harley doing water cooled bikes again, even if it looks aren’t to everyone’s tastes. Metric cruisers have been water cooled for decades, allowing better power, longer life and improved emissions - so it makes sense to go that way. I actually really like the new Hornet. I assume everything is moving to parallel twins for a good reason. Reduced complexity and better torque lower down - but we will miss those inline 4s - that howl is definitely for the name Hornet.
Got up close with a Moto Guzzi Mandello last week. Great looks and more compact than expected. Comfortable riding position at least for 5’9 me. Getting one sooner or later😂
I remember my local Norton dealership from the '70's. I owned an original paint 1931 BSA one lunger. BSA is trying to live in the past with the Goldstar, other motorcycles, too.
Loved what you said about the new HDs, the plastic toys. On the other hand, I beg you, please get a 20yr old Aprilia for 2k and let‘s talk about reliability again. They can easily hold up with the Jap4!
Aprilia bikes are very well made and they have been for a while now. The only problem is parts availability, at least in the US. If you own one and it does break, it will be broken for a while.
@@falcodog2917 AF1 typically has your back when it comes to sourcing parts. I never had any issues getting parts in under a week. My MV Agusta on the other hand, parts take a while longer for that one... Worth the wait though!
Watch FortNine's video on the Desert X. You will die laughing, but he bought one! Don't forget about Honda's "new" Transalp 750. Maybe based on the same engine as the Hornet? I admire Kawasaki for bringing out that 400cc inline 4. I hope Honda truly comes out with the 50th anniversary CB400F next year AND that we get it here in the states. I would love to park one right next to my 1975 CB400F. Mission complete at that point. Solid video BTW
The Harley Davidson X350 & X500 are technically the latest bikes to come out of Milwaukee (via China). These are the new released bikes that I am most excited about & I'm hoping they come to Australia.
@@CathodeRayNipplez My Volkswagen was made in Mexico. Before that I had a Ford that was made in South Korea. I have a mate who's BMW was made in South Africa. That's the way the world works these days. And, no. Australians don't have a fascination with buying stuff from China. It's just where every company decides to make their products. Look around your house. I'm sure that you have plenty of products that were made in China. The X350 & X500 are the only Harley's that have ever appealed to me. Harley Davidson was the one who made the decision of where they're being manufactured.
@@ADingoTookMyDasco Australians should be wary of funding the beast that is screwing their country. And yes, Aussies love cheap Chinese crap. And yes, made in South Africa, Mexico, South Korea no matter how bad, is superior to Chinese rubbish. The only reason companies make stuff in China is to avoid paying real wages and adhering to decent environmental practices. And No, I do not have 'plenty' of Chinese crap in my life. I buy with a conscious and vote with my money.
@@ADingoTookMyDasco they are not coming out of Milwaukee. There is zero R&D involved. They are benelli bikes. They just have HD badge. Unlike a BMW that uses it's own factories and technology to make things. Or work in partnership like with TVS. The more accurate term would be HD reselling benelli bikes. It's the same bike with different colours. Like if Apple bought a samsung model and renamed it apple.
@@bulthaosen1169 Actually, they're being manufactured in a new factory that is a joint venture with Harley Davidson. And yes, while there will be shared parts with the Benelli, there will also be Harley Davidson specific components as well. I'm sure that the Harley Davidson design department in Milwaukee had a decent amount of input into the bike, just like they did with the Street 500 that was manufactured by Bawal in India for every market outside of North America. A better analogy would be if it was like Toyota & Subaru getting together to design a car, or Toyota & BMW doing the same. Or in the motorcycling world, if Triumph designed their bikes in the UK but moved their manufacturing to Thailand. Oh wait, that's already happened. Made in America may be a really big thing in the US, but here in Australia it's a different story. All we've experienced besides HD are a bunch of 4 wheel vehicles of questionable quality that have a nasty habit of consuming lots of fuel, constantly breaking down & costing a mint to fix. Not exactly confidence inspiring.
I used to have a 92 GSF400 Bandit inline 4 with forks, triple clamps, clip-ons,& front wheel from a 1990 GSXR750 Slingshot and newer (in 1999/2000 lol) 6 piston Tokico calipers. It had the Slingshot 750 rear shock and a wider rear wheel running a 160 rear. You just need to ride it like a 125cc 2-stroke MX bike....wring it out, and carry as much momentum as you can. In the right hands on tight and twisty roads and tracks, I think the Ninja 400rr could destroy the R7. I work at a dealership and see the R7 as a very capable machine, but I think the 400rr would have an edge in many areas.
I currently have a crf250l rally as a first bike and I see myself moving towards a light or middleweight adventure bike in the future. I wouldn't mind a Tuareg if the closest dealer wasn't 4 hours away. I'll probably end up with a T7 or a built out 690 or 501 eventually.
The KTM Duke 790 was a Parallel twin.. and the Duke 890 is a parallel twin.. also the Aprilia 660’s are parallel twins.. bro it’s not that hard to look up a Spec sheet
(The majority of sales in the popular category globally range from 6k to 10k). To spend 60k on a road bike that’s going to get fairly regular damage would seem a slightly strange decision!
Could you make a video about Zundapp or Jawa? My dad and his best friend bought two Zundapp gs100's when I was about 10 years old and they took Me and my friend on rides. My Dad passed away several years ago and I look up old motorcycles I know he has owned when I am thinking about Him. My first memory is riding on my dad's triumph tiger and putting my hands on the blue gas tank. He also had a Jawa 350cc with a velorex sidecar that he used to take me for rides in and fly the side car. :)
Appreciate and agree with your comments about the KTM Duke 790 as for the most part it seems to be an after thought if mentioned at all in most of the many on-line discussions about the Hornet/GSX 8S and the popular 650-800cc middle weight naked class.. Untested middle weight newcomers (Hornet/GSX 8S) should significantly up the class performance standards but in the end I think KTM's decision to reduce the standard Duke 890's displacement by 100cc and price by $1800 (US market) will end up giving us the best performance bang for the buck.
@@sallhame While that's true the 2023 790 Duke also is replacing the base 890. The discontinued standard 890 seemed a more appropriate model to compare it to as it better emphasizes the significant price reduction which is what makes the new 790 more inclusive with the Hornet/GSX 8S and others in the moderately priced 650-800 class.
I can't agree on the CB750 being "such a high revving" bike, and therefore less fun on the street. Obviously, I didn't ride one yet (i had an MT07 Tracer though), but looking at the specs and characteristics of both engines, I don't see a world of difference: for peak bhp and torque is a mere 750 revs (9500 vs 8750 and 7250 vs 6500). On a subjective level, I actually like the slightly extended rev range (frankly, I wasn't blown away with the low rpm performance of my Tracer, but I did like the mid and high range very much), and the reviewers praised the Hornet for its punchy engine. I guess we will see :)
The super veloce from mv feels like a missed opportunity. It has just the right amount of retro and modern in the proper proportions. If only it was priced where mortals like me could afford it, and maybe they'd have a huge hit. Its too bad it was born an MV.
Love MV but think that early 90s front looks goofy. Reminds me of the 7xr from the 90s. Personally looking at the BMW s1000xr as my next bike. Love the tech and 165 Hp is plenty the new M1000r is just too much bike for me.
About @11:25 I personally can't see myself EVER buying a KTM Duke just because when I was a teenager and live in Europe so A1 license bikes. And everyone and their cousin had a Duke 125. I got so sick of seeing Dukes everywhere that even now almost 15 years later a Duke is a hard nope for me.
Hornet is meh. I remember gawking at its 4 cylinders when I was a kid. This is just blatant nostalgia cashgrab. I saw a Dessert X the other day on the road, like the HD Pan America, it's smaller than it looks on video! :)
Moto Guzi looks like at least attempting a machine to call their own in the motorcycle world and in a World where everything is just getting stamped out and being put forward by financial engineers not people who maintain the insane passion for the twisted throttles and the twisties.
Scooters are the real tools. The down low weight and low seat height makes them able to travel through terrible weather and snow. They're comfortable and don't have a clutch (great for when you're tired AF after work.) And they often have locking storage for moving cargo around. You can use a motorcycle as a commuter, but a scooter will always do it better, and it will handle weather a motorcycle can't.
@@domenik8339 scooter, some underbone, etc. . I haven't seen this channel talked about those kind practical bikes which common people (non enthusiast) used daily
Why have motorcycles become so UGLY?? Most of what's coming out on the market looks like some sort of terrifyingly hideous insectoid xenomorph. Can we not get a modern, plain, street motorcycle with current technology that isn't self-consciously aping designs of the 1970s or earlier? At least the retro bikes actually look recognizably like *motorcycles*. The Honda Hornet looks like it could have been a great bike, if they'd given it a smaller, lighter, more manageable engine and a less bug-like look with less clutter. Nobody needs 90 bhp on the street. Tech-wise, it has all the right bones, but the styling is just horrendous. If we could just get something that sits somewhere between the simplicity of the Royal Enfield Continental GT650 and the modern technology of the Honda Hornet, that would be the sweet spot.
I did a test ride comparison between the KTM 790 and the Triumph Street Triple R. I rejected the KTM as soon as I sat on it. I was looking for sharp edges that could harm me. The finish felt awful. In comparison, the Triumph was superbo. I bought neither. The gal who rode the Triumph ahead of me bought it. Quite right. Great bike with very few, in comparison, questions of reliability and after service. I've been to Shanghai, so will buy nothing that's made in China.
Oh and the reason you don't buy KTM is because their reliability is trash! Their design both visually and in terms of ergonomy, weight, engine etc is one of if not the best across multiple classes, but the reliability issue is just unacceptable.

If we could just get something that sits somewhere between the simplicity of the Royal Enfield Continental GT650 and the modern technology of the Honda Hornet, that would be the sweet spot.
a triumph t100?
I did a test ride comparison between the KTM 790 and the Triumph Street Triple R. I rejected the KTM as soon as I sat on it. I was looking for sharp edges that could harm me. The finish felt awful. In comparison, the Triumph was superbo. I bought neither. The gal who rode the Triumph ahead of me bought it. Quite right. Great bike with very few, in comparison, questions of reliability and after service. I've been to Shanghai, so will buy nothing that's made in China.
Why don’t you ever include Husqvarna in your videos?
Motorcycles that can't ever leave the shop aren't worthy of mentioning apparently.
Oh and the reason you don't buy KTM is because their reliability is trash! Their design both visually and in terms of ergonomy, weight, engine etc is one of if not the best across multiple classes, but the reliability issue is just unacceptable.
Perhaps it is time to include Zero in your lists of motorcycle manufacturers...
And Energica.
So no harleys lol nothing new since the 50s
