I'm just shocked anybody buys them. Who gives a 💩about performance or being lightweight when the bikes can't even function under normal conditions? They're all timebombs.
@@domenik8339 Because 95% of the bikes are fine, you just hear about the 5% that isn't (still too much of course). I've had three KTMs over 5 years so far and have never even had a drop of oil leak, let alone anything worse. Meanwhile two of my buddies have had their GS's fail mid ride due to the right cylinder failing, I still don't think BMW's are unreliable, all bikes can fail. If KTM's were really as bad as you want to believe they are, they wouldn't have because such a huge brand to begin with. KTM sells more bikes worldwide than BMW, Ducati and Aprilia combined.
The reason we keep watching is because a lot of us are like you, we just love anything on two wheels, and respect someone who tells it like it is. Keep on doing your thing man, looking forward to 2025!

There's a reason I followed you from Yammie and unsubscribed from YN. Although entertaining for awhile, YN was mostly fluff. Your channel is full of dialogue and content. It's more like hanging out with a motorcycle buddy than being talked at for a reaction. Looking forward to 2025.
the reason I followed you over to your channel was not the bikes it was you, your personality, your opinions, your honesty. Yeah there are other creators that have more focus n stuff but sometimes I just want to see what your gonna do next. Ps Whitney ads the” what did she just say “factor as well . Keep up the great work.
Ride dirt and street. Just got into single track and my new favorite kind of riding. So hard yet so rewarding and challenging. Just got a 300 XCW KTM and in love with it. Still have a KX450 for open desert. And got an MT09 for street shenanigans
i did love watching the Canadian off road video, i hope you keep up the off road content even if it doesn't perform well, hopefully its one of those if you build it they will come things. hopefully the audience for it will grow
Keep it up bro! Don't need another niche channel. Keep it broad spectrum please. I enjoy the content and insights. Best wishes for a safe and fun 2025 Bud👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, Spite. Great vid to round off the old year and start the new one. I truly enjoy your channel and it boils down to the authentic and engaging way you talk about bikes and riding. Keep it up and accept my best wishes for accelerated subscriber growth and healthy channel economics. 👏🏽👏🏽
Looking forward to what you have for 2025! You're right, motorcycle youtube is very niche and its hard to break out of your particular segment, lord knows ive tried and am still trying!
If it can be a pat on your back, I watched the offroad video and I'm honestly considering coming to the event in June for a few days of tortur- offroad education. Your video is selling me the idea big time!
I'm excited for the yamaha to get finished and to see what comes of the Roadster. I would love to see some more multi person reviews with you and Whitney.
Thanks for 2024. Please do more street and sportbike from 600-900cc. I do miss your opinion on the Suzuki GSX8R the bike of the year. Also miss the Triumph Daytona 660. I dont care if its not a ”real Daytona”. Everyone seems to hate that bike but for the price and insurance cost and that lovely triple engine through the whole register its hard to beat. The engine sounds amazing. Happy new 2025
Aprilia Tuono's are wonderful bikes! I've owned both current (2024) models and thoroughly enjoyed them. I traded the Tuono 660 for a Tuono V4, only because I was looking for more power and I already had another bike it the 100hp range. If you have never rode a Tuono, get your butt to the nearest dealership and try it out (beware, you might buy it!).
I literally live up the street from the road to lick observatory. Go during the weekdays and you have the whole mountain to yourself. Might see 2-3 people the entire way up and down.
You are 100% right. We truly enjoy the content/videos that you make. Because you keep it real, and you keep it simple. Anyways, enjoy the ride, be safe out there.
Love your stuff man! Keep it up! Id love to see more older bike videos too! Maybe some old yamaha xs's, kawasaki kz's, that old stuff! Hard to find good reviews of all that from someone reputable. Regardless, i think the reason people always watch no matter which kind of riding youre doing, is youre very knowledgeable and it shows. You make mistakes, sure but that makes you even more relateable. Either way, youre one of my favorite to see come up on my feed. Rooting for ya man, keep it up!
I'm definitely getting a CRF250F for my first adult dirt bike. Haven't ridden on dirt in almost 20 years so I figure it's the perfect bike to relearn lots of fundamentals before ultimately getting what I want, YZ250X. Air cooled engines are just perfect for riding all the time.
You keep doing you, Spite. Always entertaining and you have a lot of variety. Looking forward to what you have in store for the new year. If I had any suggestions, track shenanigans with the F4i and maybe bring us along for a multi-day tour. I liked that KLR video from awhile back where you went to Georgia and back.
The Canada video was awesome. Amazing sceneries, intense riding hella fun vibe with all the folks there. As I said before I like all bikes, and like to see different bikes being ridden with the people I watch. But I also watch the people I watch cause they are within my vibe. Keep it up spite! 💯
Man I can't wait til you get that CB1000 de-restricted lol If you haven't made plans already I'd humbly suggest (again lol) checking with Moore Mafia (Chris) about the ECU. Can't wait to see that project video
Funny that you mentioned your Aprillia Tuono Gen1… Currently I own a 22 KTM 1290 SAR, and OMG that bike is also incredible, just in the past two years i have owned and sold over 20 motorcycles and none other than my KTM has made me an impression till the beginning of the winter I bought a 2007 Aprillia Tuono 1000R second gen as a “project bike” for the winter and after riding it OMG what a bike, im in love with it, easy to work on and a very solid machine, rides like you are on rails and has infinity torque, in fact im planning to transform into a track/weekend blast bike and keep it. I also have a 2019 honda crf 250 rally that im not impressed at all and I maybe buying a CRF 300 or a cfmoto 450 instead, if could make a video comparison of them that would be perfect. Thank you!
I'm enjoying the content Spite,youre doing a great job! Also,it seems we don't just love motorcycles... Looks like a Thunderhorse Explorer on the wall behind you there! I really enjoy mine. Also, I watched the recent episode where you ride with Whitney and laughed out loud when you began to describe the differences between the two bikes by comparing the different generations of 5150's! HAHAHAHA! (I really like mine too) There was no doubt then that i was watching the right channel! Kindred spirits! Keep up the good work Brother...
I bought a Tenere 700 in January of 2023. I've had so much fucking fun on this motorcycle and it's become a lifestyle. I've met friends and become a much better rider. I highly recommend this motorcycle.
Spite, I like when you’re with Witney and when you meet/met with Jess. Are you going to do anymore collaborations? Who do you want to do collaborations with? Have a great 2024. Nige from Shropshire, UK
On road the Tansalp is nicer because it's got a bigger motor. Off road it's hard to say. I wasn't able to drop pressures on the Honda, but based on my testing I'd take the CFMOTO. Dork would be a better resource for that one.
A naked bike, dual sport or supermoto is what you are looking for. And don't stare blankly at spec sheet numbers. There's more to that with riding a bike. Different engines, different characteristics, different purpose. So no not a 1000 sportbike.
That Vmax hurts my heart. I always want to take on a project bike but then I think about stories like this. At least you are doing it right and not rigging it up. It is what it is. It's still an awesome bike. The 690... We won't talk anymore about the 690.😢 Are you going to do any kind of meetups or anything like that?
Yes, I plan to be at every event that Flying Eyes is at (for the most part) and doing meet and greets as well as a few other ones like the AF1 Moto GP party
People watch because you are entertaining. The bikes are helping, but you keep things real. Its not just magic fixing of issues. You show the downsides as well as the good.
Im canadian so of course i watched it .i live in bc on the coast north of Vancouver wetter knarlier but lots of logging roads to so both high speed logging roads and single track starting at the end of the block
@@spitescorner Come to China, I know a few guys who are well-known around here and could get you to try some of the local bikes that aren't available in the US

Best guitar 2024 ? Harley Benton, for that money . Owh bikes okay, gooed stuff. I like my gsx 1250 fa big time . Tested the tracer 700, and the Triumph 400. I like bikes and guitars .
Sales numbers are hard to find because most companies don't report exact numbers. You can look at registration data, but most of it is broken down in to category EG sport bike, cruiser, standard, etc.
@spitescorner guys import bikes not sold down there fairly regular from Canada. The regs between us isn't to bad compared to Europe etc.i do understand though 🤔 😅 😕 😐 we get the good ones lol
It's funny for someone to give you a adventure motorcycle to test and then get mad at an accident. When I loan a dirt bike to my BROTHER I expect to write it off. lol. He's been riding for >25 years like me, and shit just happens when you are riding. I can't imagine loaning it to a stranger and then being upset. It is what it is.

Glad to hear you enjoyed riding Mount Hamilton.
Gotta be one of the most underrated roads in the US!
@ Toyota also shot a commercial for their 2024 model line up there too

How did the CF Moto 450 Ibex compare to the Honda Transalp on and off road?
On road the Tansalp is nicer because it's got a bigger motor. Off road it's hard to say. I wasn't able to drop pressures on the Honda, but based on my testing I'd take the CFMOTO. Dork would be a better resource for that one.

Yup. It is.

question a light dirtbike 450 vs a 1000 sport bike for fun ? what wins the thrill/ under 100mph ?

I dig the Ibex 450, but I hate that you can’t disable ABS on the front wheel like you can on my T7. That’s a dealbreaker for me.
I had gt750 buffalo in the day and I thought it was the best bike of that era was smooth and peppy and the strongest front brakes what’s your thoughts
Please make a video on new speedmaster bonneville from triumph
You are the best voice on cruisers
I think AF1 will have a demo one soon.
