A lot of people would think “Military grade” meant something was strong & durable, when in all actuality it just means it was cheaply made, using the cheapest materials lol
I first thought the exhaust sound was added in for humor. Once I realized that was how it actually sounded I cried laughing. Definitely one of your best videos I have seen.
I totally missed the whole end of the video, all I could do was laugh, tried three times to watch it, and just couldn't stop laughing, had to give up before I pulled a muscle in my side.
What if I told you all that The United States was infiltrated by The British and my direct ancestor was one of the reasons for our U.S. First Amendment, and that I could prove it?
OMG, I love the "bubble bike", it sounds hilarious. I was sitting on my office chair, the toilet, and it's a good thing because when you started the bike for the first time I was laughing so hard that I would have soiled my shorts. You have to leave the exhaust off of it, when you stop at traffic lights people will burst out in tears laughing so hard at your bubble bike. Great video, it was worth the 7 grand just to put smiles on bystanders faces.
I literally exploded with a deep belly laugh at the bubble sound. I was completely convinced that was an added sound post edit but OMG, this is instant classic. I would so pay $350 for that bike, ok $300 would be great, but at $250 I would seriously think about buying it for $200. Thank you all day for this video.
I'd ride it to spacely sprockets every day and then by cogswell cogs on the way home after work. Astro would ride on the handlebars and Jane on the back

I learned something new today when you said "these big ones are a diffrent size than the small ones" (bolts) I've never thought about that before. Thanks for sharing and educating!
Oh man when that beast fired up I near pissed myself laughing, sounds like one of those pranks where you put a piece of innertube on buddies exhaust pipe:P What a hoot!
A friend from church gave me a briggs and stratton engine when I was about 11, and it was in a box. I found a bent exhaust valve, rolled it on my dad's bench and hammered it straight and the engine ran. It sounded exactly like this bike with no exhaust on it. I've had about thirty or forty bikes since then, about 1968, and several had no exhaust and sounded exactly the same. This has been the best entertainment video on bikes I've seen in a while. I'd be stoked at sixteen, getting to ride a bubble bike!
It is a shame AMAZON is playing people like this... I would feel like dying, if I would invest 7,000.00 bucks on a bike like this. Thanks guys for doing this. I truly have learned something today.
This has to be my favorite motorcycle story all year. Seeing the smiles and fun you had on that bubbler truly proves it's not what you ride, but that you ride
I am a 20 something year old woman who has never cared about motorcycles or anything auto mechanic related…. I stumbled across this video and was literally rolling laughing. It absolutely made my day. I will definitely watch more videos for the laughs 😂

@@100mpgus - I was totally expecting a rumble from the engine and not an adorable popping sound and as soon as I heard it I was LMAO too.... I actually had to go back a few times to re-watch it because I was laughing so hard. 😂🤣

These 'mis-buys' are hysterical. I spit my coffee when you realized there was no exhaust included, probably held up in customs because it's non DOT/EPA compliant! Plus the high bar version is named after my ex-wife!😂
i spit my coffee when they started it up, and i couldn't resume drinking bc of how they couldn't stop bursting with laughter many times later with each idling
As an outsider I have to say that I find your ministry encouraging and not offputting. If there is a way for me to reestablish a connection with religion, shows and input like yours is the most likely avenue. /salute
By the way, the engine is not so bad, if used with an exaust pipe. it's a copy of the old Yamaha Virago powerplant, and they were quite reliable. But yeah, that bubble sound kills me 😁😁😁
I love how the comedy of the bike is what keeps you guys from totally hating the bike. That exhaust sound literally saved you from thinking you completely lost your money, I myself would be laughing too hard to be upset at that time😂
Craig giggling uncontrollably when it first started up was priceless. Screw the factory muffler. Y'all need to make a custom one that has a soap reservoir or something so it spews out actual bubbles. Please.
I was looking at this bike on Amazon for laughs and noticed it says the exhaust and title will be shipped separately. Doesnt change the fact the bike is junk but explains where the title and exhaust is/was. Good job with the channel!
I love the ease you guys spend 7000 bucks for a bad quality motorcycle, and as a motorcycle lover I strive to collect 4500 euro (cause I live in Europe) to be able to buy, used, my dream motorcycle, the Honda Shadow ACE. I really envy you in a good way for this and for the fact that you are coming in contact with amazing motorcycles every day. God bless you all.
I’ve been riding bikes since I was 16 years old (legally) and I’m shocked by this bike. I thought they were kidding with the bubble sound but it really made me laugh! I thought the whole thing was a joke, but then I realized they were serious. Oh yeah, by the way I was 16 when I got my first license and I’m 72 now, so I’ve been at it a while. I was even paid to ride a bike for work. Well, it was a Police bike and a real crappy one, a 1973 Harley Police Special but an AMF not a Harley. Between 1970 and 1980 AMF made Harley’s here, what a mess they made of the name!!!
OMG I remember Harley AMF …. Brand new bikes in the show room with pans under them to catch the leaks. Talk about a travesty! It’s a miracles Harley’s survived. AMF also almost destroyed Airstream trailers as well I’m told.
If you are ever in Jamestown New York stop in the comedy museum. Dan Aykroyd's AMF harley he rode to work (SNL) is there. It was a retired cop bike. There is a 20 minute video by Dan sharing his and the bike's history together. It is a hysterical story and I had no idea he was a gear head and very mechanically inclined.
Do you know if "Massimo" the company that "B & B" credits for this bike was involved in the AMF corporation. It rings a bell for me for some reason. I am your vintage & had a AMF 125 road/trail badged as a H.D. It went ok but the day I rode my mates Montessa the AMF was history.
I ride a Yamaha SR500, once i rode with my father on the autobahn and the screws of my manifold got lost, while i am riding, so i lost my power and nearly lost my manifold too. and it also this bubble sound, but not that extreme. but yes, riding without a manifould would sound like this. but i also need to say, i love also the samll displacment with more RPM sound, it has something dirty and nasty and i like it.
I bought a massimo T-boss 550 sidexside a couple years ago for $6k. I’ve been pretty pleased with it… 4x4, selectable locking diffs, steel dump bed, came with a winch and windshield, does about 45mph…
Bubble bike made me smile. On the for real side, about 5-10 years ago, the Massimo sXs and mini bike were pretty lit. Had a lot of good times on both and they ran with no problems. But I've heard the company has gotten a bit squirrely the last few years.
timsun tire are actually quite famous around south east Asia, they make very good tires that can perform well for daily use or for track use. they sponsored a team called takong racing in cup prix that allowed them to obtain victory with their tires
Duuuude….the moment that motor came to life…hilarious! I was laughing tears, along with you guys! The manufacturer/assembler probably “forgot” the exhaust on purpose, cos when your laughing your butt off, you possibly oversee the flaws of this classic piece of… machinery…!? Anyways… loved this episode, I hope that scoot lives long enough to give you your money’s worth of riding fun. Peace.
I had a good experience with a Chinese GY6 scooter in a box. I paid $400 in 2008. I replaced the fuel and vacuum lines immediately. New spark plug and I had it running in a day. Brand name "Tank". I rode it on and off until 2015. 100mpg. Cheap to buy and run. Fun stuff.
4 minutes and 30 seconds of a video on youtube made his life feel complete. Really? Is this what's going on in America? No wonder the entire country is circling the toilet bowl.
@@BikesandBeards How does this… thing fire? It sounds more like a Harley more than most V-twins, which leads me to believe that it may fire in a 1-2-x-x pattern rather than a 1-x-2-x pattern or a 1-x-x-2. (Harley 90, “normal” 180, “sport” 270) I’m now realizing that I basically just offended every Harley rider out there. I’m referring to the higher RPM and not the low RPM. Also, it doesn’t fire both plugs at the same time… right? It has a resemblance to the “pah-tah-tuh” sound from a Harley engine. It may be because it doesn’t have an exhaust, but it sounds like someone who had been inside a Harley designed the engine to run like a Harley. Most of my knowledge of Harleys comes from FortNine’s video on why Harleys are popular. Edit: 23:53 Frick you, my KLX300SM sounds way better than… that thing. (I’m 16)
I remember as a kid having a Honda 125, one day I was about 40 miles from home and I blew a big hole in my tatty exhaust. It sounded just like this but about a million decibels. I rode it home with the world looking at me in horror and disgust. My ears were ringing for days. A great video guys, all the very best to all for Christmas. Peace from an old fart biker from the UK.
I used to dream of owning an SL 125. Ended up with a KP 80 instead. It didn't blow bubbles but you could see the smoke from the exhaust for miles. And that's how global warming began....
That reminds me, I had with 15 a Simson S51 (GDR Moped), the exhaust was extremely rusted and one day in the middle of the city it just snapped of clean... No power, 1000 decibels and many many looks later I was at home :D the little two stroke 50ccm engine half died that day
@@JoJoGaminG36 I was given a Yamaha 100 to drive and lived in Dunedin, NZ, at the top of a fairly steep hill. It would overheat and seize up. I'd have to wait for it to cool down, then ride it down the other side and crash start it, hoping the insides hadn't melted together. One time I had to zig-zag it back up the hill with a little corgi nipping at my heels all the way while it's owner looked on silently. I know the Queen loved them, but I've never ridden another Yamaha since....
I laughed out loud several times during the video but when the bubble machine started I really lost it. However I started reading some of the comments but had to stop reading because I couldn't see through all the tears as I was laughing so much. This episode made my whole day. I also have to add that I didn't pay much more for my left over Moto Guzzi V7 minus fees and other add on charges.
I appreciate you guys checking some of things that everybody wonders about. Very interesting and informative. Lots of plastic… cost cutting from the manufacturers 🤔 Rock on! Thank you
Years ago, I investigated a fatality involving a lone rider who was found at night against a utility pole. He was riding a Dong Fang motorcycle. In my 25 years as a State Trooper, this was my first and only time ever encountering a Dong Fang.
@importsstillsuck Negative. There were no detectable issues with the bike, the weather was good, and the roadway was good. It is possible he swerved to avoid a deer 🦌, which are common where this occurred.
I know absolutely nothing about motorcycles But this has been the one funniest videos I've seen in awhile. Lol at the bubble sounds, i thought they were an added sound effect 🤣
It'll be worth the 7k once Craig rigs up the bubble machine that is actuated by the exhaust. Of course the sound has to stay as that is what makes it so special..
I was wrong, when they fired it up with no exhaust, priceless! I guess never buy big ticket individual items through Amazon unless your rich or just want to just throw money away...Exception, buying a pallet or big box of unknowns for $$$. Sell it for parts or scrap! In the end sounded like you both enjoyed for $500. First time, enjoyed this very much!
Timsun is actually a pretty big tyre brand here in Southeast Asia, our roads aren't as good and most people are on a tight budget so instead of higher end Michelins/Pirellis they use these, plus Timsun is DOT approved as well!
Y'all need to get it to a custom muffler shop and see if they can build something that smooths out the background exhaust and really brings out the bubble sound. That would be awesome lol.
Dude!! I laughed so much at the end of the video after you guys started the motorcycle that my daughter thought I was getting sick and needed to go to the hospital. I think it's been about 20 years since I've laughed that hard at something so funny. Best of luck to you!
Actually laughed at this. Takes me back to when I was about 15 and me and a friend found an old c90 dumped in a field. Got her running and sounded exactly like that 😂
same, i had to look the comments to make sure it wasn't dubbed in, i've never heard a motorcycle make that sound lmao, what did they do when they built it to make it sound like that
I laugh-cried sooo hard when the bubble sound came out. My family was all watching Ted Lasso on TV while I was watching this on headphones and they thought something was wrong with me because I couldn’t stop laugh-crying…which only made it that much funnier. Thank you for this. Hardest I’ve laughed in 2022. Great way to end the year!
My first bike was an 06 Shadow 750 and when I took off the exhaust it sounded almost identical to your bubble bike. Maybe it's something about Import Motors that makes it sound like they're underwater or blowing bubbles at idle. Heads up just putting 18 inch long short straight pipes on it took away that sound but it shot blue flames pretty much constantly... it also had plastic covers on top of the cylinders and a ton of other plasti Chrome pieces. It felt like a cruiser shaped dirt bike, even though it was quirky I still miss it. Was a great first bike.
Guarantee it’s 1,000 times better than this one tho lol. Honestly I’m mind boggled. I have never seen a worse bike than in this video 😂 those switches took it to the next level
@@ridewithme3428 the switches are easily and cheaply replaced from any parts store, fancy OEM switches are expensive, must come from authorized seller and will eventually be discontinued.

“Military grade” meant something was strong & durable, when in all actuality it just means it was cheaply made, using the cheapest materials lol

Yeah! That bubble bike put more than a smile in my face, thats sooo unique!!!
I haven't laughed out loud at a video in a very long time but seeing the two of you react with pure glee and giggles made my burst out laughing.
Long live the Bubble Bike!!!
Yup! me too lol
Same! My girlfriend was taking a nap, and my laughing woke her up.
im a pot head so same
This thing is like a fevered dream. I've had dreams where I've bought something, but it's not quite real - but everyone keeps telling me it's real.
I like the way he took the curb starting off. Living on the edge.
The bubbles definitely put a smile on my face. Its hilarious to hear that sound coming off a motorcycle!
I learned something new today when you said "these big ones are a diffrent size than the small ones" (bolts) I've never thought about that before. Thanks for sharing and educating!
Oh man when that beast fired up I near pissed myself laughing, sounds like one of those pranks where you put a piece of innertube on buddies exhaust pipe:P What a hoot!
A friend from church gave me a briggs and stratton engine when I was about 11, and it was in a box. I found a bent exhaust valve, rolled it on my dad's bench and hammered it straight and the engine ran. It sounded exactly like this bike with no exhaust on it. I've had about thirty or forty bikes since then, about 1968, and several had no exhaust and sounded exactly the same. This has been the best entertainment video on bikes I've seen in a while. I'd be stoked at sixteen, getting to ride a bubble bike!
Best part of the whole video....Craig's reaction when it first cranked up 😂 "it sounds like a bubble machine" 🤣
“TURN OFF DA BUBBLE MACHINE!” - Lawrence Welk. 😂😂
I have a cm200 and took off the exhaust to clean and started the bike and my friend said its slushious from home lol
They should have atleast showed the exhaust
Cool 😎.Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 !
20:23 no way! I was sure that sound was dubbed in…Now you have to leave the exhaust off.
Talk about coming across a jewel of a video by accident! I almost fell over laughing when the "bubble maker" exhaust was firing. LOL
that sound gave me a mental disorder..
omg hahahaha
Dude I was watching videos of tech stuff and this was somehow recommended for me. This was hilarious so I’m glad I clicked on it
It is a shame AMAZON is playing people like this...
I would feel like dying, if I would invest 7,000.00 bucks on a bike like this.
Thanks guys for doing this.
I truly have learned something today.
This has to be my favorite motorcycle story all year. Seeing the smiles and fun you had on that bubbler truly proves it's not what you ride, but that you ride
I am a 20 something year old woman who has never cared about motorcycles or anything auto mechanic related…. I stumbled across this video and was literally rolling laughing. It absolutely made my day. I will definitely watch more videos for the laughs 😂
Bikes and beards, so if you ain't here for bikes, you are here for the beard
Women aren’t allowed to have a sense of humor! Where do you get off, Zoe?!
Zoe girl - why aren't u into bikes and cars ?u seem like u could be a cool chick
@@The_ZeroLine No need to explain why you are not with a woman 🤣🤣🤣
Did you forget how old you are?
The sound was worth the time. Sure its not worth the money but for bubbles and giggles, sounds like the most fun bike ever.
20:05 - I've never seen Craig get so much joy out of hearing a bike start up and sound like one of those popping fishing lures or a bubble machine from the Dollar Store.... 🤣🤣🤣
when he started the bike, I was laughing as hard as Craig was laughing.
@@100mpgus - I was totally expecting a rumble from the engine and not an adorable popping sound and as soon as I heard it I was LMAO too.... I actually had to go back a few times to re-watch it because I was laughing so hard. 😂🤣
I had to rewind 4 or 5 times to convince myself that it wasn't just hilarious video editing when that beast fired up the first time and now I have tears streaming down my face, this is GOLD.
If it were around $2000 I would try it just for giggles but $7000 no way....and that bubble sound, hysterical 😂😂
they are only 2000 in china lol i bought one and it almost killed me twice
I started dying 💀💀
2,000 buys a great used bike in the winter
@@boycottjews I bet If you drove that Chinese bike in the rain half of it would start disintegrating. 🤣
@@arnaldofettuccine5227 wouldn't be surprised. I've been riding the same Kawasaki litterally daily unless I stay home for years now and payed way less that 1k for it. Just tires and oil mostly. Buying in the winter is like a half price hack
When you started the bike, I thought you added in the bubble sound, then I realized the bike actually sounded like that😂😂
I haven't actually cried from laughing so hard in my life! That bike straight up sounds like a bubble machine!!! Thank you for making my day guys I loved it so much!!!!!
ya sounds like an aerator for a fish tank
These 'mis-buys' are hysterical. I spit my coffee when you realized there was no exhaust included, probably held up in customs because it's non DOT/EPA compliant! Plus the high bar version is named after my ex-wife!😂
Made or assembled in USA off road use. So.. Not subject to DOT EPA. Will see if they get title. They may have to go Bonded Title.
Light through gas tank....!
@@Gg-ij7li Your doing it again.
@@grabir01/////
i spit my coffee when they started it up, and i couldn't resume drinking bc of how they couldn't stop bursting with laughter many times later with each idling
I thought at first you guys added the bubble sounds to be funny. But when it was real I almost fell out my chair.
As an outsider I have to say that I find your ministry encouraging and not offputting. If there is a way for me to reestablish a connection with religion, shows and input like yours is the most likely avenue. /salute
Gotta love that powerful V twin sound. It's been a long time since I laughed at a motorcycle. It may even be the first time.
By the way, the engine is not so bad, if used with an exaust pipe. it's a copy of the old Yamaha Virago powerplant, and they were quite reliable. But yeah, that bubble sound kills me 😁😁😁
@@vladusoltseff6633 at first I thought it was a sound byte they used for laughs!
It’s impressive and hilarious at the same time.
I love how the comedy of the bike is what keeps you guys from totally hating the bike. That exhaust sound literally saved you from thinking you completely lost your money, I myself would be laughing too hard to be upset at that time😂
Craig giggling uncontrollably when it first started up was priceless. Screw the factory muffler. Y'all need to make a custom one that has a soap reservoir or something so it spews out actual bubbles. Please.
Agte
Best video I've watched in awhile. First video I've watched from your channel. Friggin awesome. Subbed.
I was looking at this bike on Amazon for laughs and noticed it says the exhaust and title will be shipped separately. Doesnt change the fact the bike is junk but explains where the title and exhaust is/was. Good job with the channel!
I love the ease you guys spend 7000 bucks for a bad quality motorcycle, and as a motorcycle lover I strive to collect 4500 euro (cause I live in Europe) to be able to buy, used, my dream motorcycle, the Honda Shadow ACE. I really envy you in a good way for this and for the fact that you are coming in contact with amazing motorcycles every day. God bless you all.
i have 1995 shadow ace, blue and white! Glad someone appreciates it!
@@jeffreyendres3418 i made my license on a honda shadow 600 in creme-white/red. beautiful bike
Don’t feel bad. TH-cam probably pId him $30000 to $95000 for this video.
I had a 97 ACE 1100, was the best bike I had
He makes more off the video then he spent for that bike.
Im impressed that it ran that good right out of the box LOL.
Also, I think bubble exhaust will be the new trend in 2023!
NGL, I was not expecting that thing to start, let alone drive.
I’ve been riding bikes since I was 16 years old (legally) and I’m shocked by this bike. I thought they were kidding with the bubble sound but it really made me laugh! I thought the whole thing was a joke, but then I realized they were serious. Oh yeah, by the way I was 16 when I got my first license and I’m 72 now, so I’ve been at it a while. I was even paid to ride a bike for work. Well, it was a Police bike and a real crappy one, a 1973 Harley Police Special but an AMF not a Harley. Between 1970 and 1980 AMF made Harley’s here, what a mess they made of the name!!!
OMG I remember Harley AMF …. Brand new bikes in the show room with pans under them to catch the leaks. Talk about a travesty! It’s a miracles Harley’s survived. AMF also almost destroyed Airstream trailers as well I’m told.
If you are ever in Jamestown New York stop in the comedy museum. Dan Aykroyd's AMF harley he rode to work (SNL) is there. It was a retired cop bike. There is a 20 minute video by Dan sharing his and the bike's history together. It is a hysterical story and I had no idea he was a gear head and very mechanically inclined.
Do you know if "Massimo" the company that "B & B" credits for this bike was involved in the AMF corporation. It rings a bell for me for some reason. I am your vintage & had a AMF 125 road/trail badged as a H.D. It went ok but the day I rode my mates Montessa the AMF was history.
I ride a Yamaha SR500, once i rode with my father on the autobahn and the screws of my manifold got lost, while i am riding, so i lost my power and nearly lost my manifold too. and it also this bubble sound, but not that extreme. but yes, riding without a manifould would sound like this. but i also need to say, i love also the samll displacment with more RPM sound, it has something dirty and nasty and i like it.
@@Uz7Racer In retesting US
Craig's reaction was epic. Thank you for letting us see what not to buy on Amazon.
Right. i mean who would have thought that an econo, Chinese, V-twin Bobber would be crappy? 😛 Box was decent though.
Bro I burst out laughing when they started it 😂😂 it legit sounds like a bubble machine
It’s North Korean military spec
@@x-man5056 00
Wow for a few grand more you guys could have bought my 1981 Harley Wide Glide with a new S+S engine.
I bought a massimo T-boss 550 sidexside a couple years ago for $6k. I’ve been pretty pleased with it… 4x4, selectable locking diffs, steel dump bed, came with a winch and windshield, does about 45mph…
But does it sound like a bubble machine?
@@teacher2academy224 unfortunately no.
the build quality any good? based off this video alone, i'd be fuckin terrified to buy anything from them, but hey maybe bikes arent their thing
Omg the sound of that exhaust is the icing on the cake!!! 😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought the bubble bike was so funny. I was even at work and thinking about it started laughing again.
The moment Sean started engine and Craig started laughing. Funny a.f.
Bubble bike made me smile. On the for real side, about 5-10 years ago, the Massimo sXs and mini bike were pretty lit. Had a lot of good times on both and they ran with no problems. But I've heard the company has gotten a bit squirrely the last few years.
Give SpongeBob his motorcycle back LMAO 😂
The best part of this buy is the angle iron crate that can be used for other projects.
A table maybe for laying out the bike parts
Even that was prob made very questionably..
I got some angle iron crates from a business down the street from my work and that's how I built my chicken coop.
timsun tire are actually quite famous around south east Asia, they make very good tires that can perform well for daily use or for track use. they sponsored a team called takong racing in cup prix that allowed them to obtain victory with their tires
Duuuude….the moment that motor came to life…hilarious! I was laughing tears, along with you guys! The manufacturer/assembler probably “forgot” the exhaust on purpose, cos when your laughing your butt off, you possibly oversee the flaws of this classic piece of… machinery…!?
Anyways… loved this episode, I hope that scoot lives long enough to give you your money’s worth of riding fun. Peace.
12:10 the "yeah" from the dealership guy absolutely floored me
he joined the survivors
The smile on craig’s face when he was riding it completely changed my opinion of the bike 😂😂
I've never laughed harder at a motorcycle sound in my life! Thank you guys for this!
Who needs exhaust when you have bubbles? Blooping down the highway jus bubbling along. Oh yeah.
I had a good experience with a Chinese GY6 scooter in a box. I paid $400 in 2008.
I replaced the fuel and vacuum lines immediately. New spark plug and I had it running in a day. Brand name "Tank".
I rode it on and off until 2015. 100mpg. Cheap to buy and run. Fun stuff.
Good entertainment value right there . Thankyou I needed a chuckle
The last 4 minutes and 30 seconds of this video made my life feel complete. Thank you Bubbles🙂
Worth every penny!
4 minutes and 30 seconds of a video on youtube made his life feel complete. Really? Is this what's going on in America? No wonder the entire country is circling the toilet bowl.
Craig really needs to get that autocycle working already! I NEED to see that thing run!
me too
But... you did. 😅
I want to hear some custom exhaust on this thing for sure
@@BikesandBeards How does this… thing fire? It sounds more like a Harley more than most V-twins, which leads me to believe that it may fire in a 1-2-x-x pattern rather than a 1-x-2-x pattern or a 1-x-x-2.
(Harley 90, “normal” 180, “sport” 270)
I’m now realizing that I basically just offended every Harley rider out there. I’m referring to the higher RPM and not the low RPM.
Also, it doesn’t fire both plugs at the same time… right? It has a resemblance to the “pah-tah-tuh” sound from a Harley engine.
It may be because it doesn’t have an exhaust, but it sounds like someone who had been inside a Harley designed the engine to run like a Harley.
Most of my knowledge of Harleys comes from FortNine’s video on why Harleys are popular.
Edit: 23:53 Frick you, my KLX300SM sounds way better than… that thing. (I’m 16)
@@BikesandBeards my entire family lives in the equivalent of AMRICAN Brazil :c
I remember as a kid having a Honda 125, one day I was about 40 miles from home and I blew a big hole in my tatty exhaust. It sounded just like this but about a million decibels.
I rode it home with the world looking at me in horror and disgust.
My ears were ringing for days.
A great video guys, all the very best to all for Christmas.
Peace from an old fart biker from the UK.
Horror and disgust 😂😂
I rode a Honda Express for a summer with no exhaust 🤣
I used to dream of owning an SL 125. Ended up with a KP 80 instead. It didn't blow bubbles but you could see the smoke from the exhaust for miles. And that's how global warming began....
That reminds me, I had with 15 a Simson S51 (GDR Moped), the exhaust was extremely rusted and one day in the middle of the city it just snapped of clean... No power, 1000 decibels and many many looks later I was at home :D the little two stroke 50ccm engine half died that day
@@JoJoGaminG36 I was given a Yamaha 100 to drive and lived in Dunedin, NZ, at the top of a fairly steep hill. It would overheat and seize up. I'd have to wait for it to cool down, then ride it down the other side and crash start it, hoping the insides hadn't melted together. One time I had to zig-zag it back up the hill with a little corgi nipping at my heels all the way while it's owner looked on silently. I know the Queen loved them, but I've never ridden another Yamaha since....
I laughed out loud several times during the video but when the bubble machine started I really lost it. However I started reading some of the comments but had to stop reading because I couldn't see through all the tears as I was laughing so much. This episode made my whole day. I also have to add that I didn't pay much more for my left over Moto Guzzi V7 minus fees and other add on charges.
👍🤣😂
Dude I lose it everyone it makes the bubble noise. I think this episode cleared out my sinuses
@@rushthezeppelin 👍
I’m hooked good group of guys 😂
I appreciate you guys checking some of things that everybody wonders about. Very interesting and informative. Lots of plastic… cost cutting from the manufacturers 🤔
Rock on!
Thank you
If it is purely cosmetic, plastic is the obvious thing to make it out of. Plastic doesn't rust.
I don't think there ever was a previous version to cost cut on. This is just as cheap as its ever been.
Years ago, I investigated a fatality involving a lone rider who was found at night against a utility pole. He was riding a Dong Fang motorcycle. In my 25 years as a State Trooper, this was my first and only time ever encountering a Dong Fang.
Any idea what caused the crash?
@importsstillsuck Negative. There were no detectable issues with the bike, the weather was good, and the roadway was good. It is possible he swerved to avoid a deer 🦌, which are common where this occurred.
@@Dave-co1cv could it also be that he was riding in the night?
@威 威 It was a two-lane, straight and level road with a white fog line, so darkness should not have been an issue.
Well did the dong kill the driver
I know absolutely nothing about motorcycles
But this has been the one funniest videos I've seen in awhile.
Lol at the bubble sounds, i thought they were an added sound effect 🤣
I thought you added the bubble sound effect at first lmao.
🤣 When they started to ride it, the song "Under The Sea" came to mind!
If SpongeBob SquarePants rode a bike, it’d sound just like that!
It'll be worth the 7k once Craig rigs up the bubble machine that is actuated by the exhaust. Of course the sound has to stay as that is what makes it so special..
The end had me dying on the price lmfao!!!
Who else absolutely lost it when they cranked it up the first time?? Lmao that was awesome! Merry Christmas guys
Merry Christmas
my lawnmower is louder then that
Fuckn still laughing!
Oh my God, the fun begins at 21:00 minutes. Craig and I were BOTH laughing so hard we couldn't breathe. All the way to the end.
This brought tears to my eyes, what a great ending hahaha
It wasn’t that funny
@@monke4632 it was most unexpected, it will def get some girls attention
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks, save me 21 minutes of my life
Love the exhaust note. Bikini Bottom here we come. 🤣
Crazy sound 😂. Thank you for this moment.
Thanks for all the shows this year guys, hope we get lots more. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
I was wrong, when they fired it up with no exhaust, priceless! I guess never buy big ticket individual items through Amazon unless your rich or just want to just throw money away...Exception, buying a pallet or big box of unknowns for $$$. Sell it for parts or scrap! In the end sounded like you both enjoyed for $500. First time, enjoyed this very much!
Timsun is actually a pretty big tyre brand here in Southeast Asia, our roads aren't as good and most people are on a tight budget so instead of higher end Michelins/Pirellis they use these, plus Timsun is DOT approved as well!
You'd be amazed how many bad roads there are in the west as well
Amazing video, thoroughly enjoyed it :) The bubble exhaust sound 😆 Loved it!
First mod: Add a bubble machine. Imagine sitting at a light at idle _with actual bubbles._
Y'all need to get it to a custom muffler shop and see if they can build something that smooths out the background exhaust and really brings out the bubble sound. That would be awesome lol.
That startup was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while
it was great
I actually wonder what it sounds like with exhaust. Does it just amplify the bubble sound? I need to know...
@@mjc8248 no with the exhaust it will not have that funny sound
Dude!! I laughed so much at the end of the video after you guys started the motorcycle that my daughter thought I was getting sick and needed to go to the hospital. I think it's been about 20 years since I've laughed that hard at something so funny. Best of luck to you!
my favorite was the statement.." the big ones are a different size than the small ones". such wisdom must be highlighted.
Craig really had me with “it sounds like a bubble machine”..🤣🤣
Actually laughed at this. Takes me back to when I was about 15 and me and a friend found an old c90 dumped in a field. Got her running and sounded exactly like that 😂
Good times
😅
😊😊
This video made my day! Gold!
This is one of my favorite videos, mainly because of Craig’s hysterical laughter when it sounded like bubbles.
I totally thought they were adding that bubble noise as a joke when they fired up the bike. Hahaha😂 💀
same, i had to look the comments to make sure it wasn't dubbed in, i've never heard a motorcycle make that sound lmao, what did they do when they built it to make it sound like that
I actually laughed-cried at the sound of the Bubble Bike. 😂. Literally, the funniest sound ever to come out of a motorcycle.
I laugh-cried sooo hard when the bubble sound came out. My family was all watching Ted Lasso on TV while I was watching this on headphones and they thought something was wrong with me because I couldn’t stop laugh-crying…which only made it that much funnier. Thank you for this. Hardest I’ve laughed in 2022. Great way to end the year!
Looked good.
Sounded hilarious.
My first bike was an 06 Shadow 750 and when I took off the exhaust it sounded almost identical to your bubble bike. Maybe it's something about Import Motors that makes it sound like they're underwater or blowing bubbles at idle. Heads up just putting 18 inch long short straight pipes on it took away that sound but it shot blue flames pretty much constantly... it also had plastic covers on top of the cylinders and a ton of other plasti Chrome pieces. It felt like a cruiser shaped dirt bike, even though it was quirky I still miss it. Was a great first bike.
Guarantee it’s 1,000 times better than this one tho lol. Honestly I’m mind boggled. I have never seen a worse bike than in this video 😂 those switches took it to the next level
@@ridewithme3428 the switches are easily and cheaply replaced from any parts store, fancy OEM switches are expensive, must come from authorized seller and will eventually be discontinued.
