I’ve sold mine cb500r because of him, shouldn’t have sold😪 that bike is economical and practical as f^ck. now I have an s1000r that I have problems riding in my city(not big enough roads). Lol 😂😂😂
bro don t worry thats a good beginner bike and it looks awesome, in 1/2 years you are gonna be ready to upgrate

I worked with a guy at Honda who daylied a zx-14, he was EXACTLY like the dude described. He ran from the cops everyday, unregistered bike, told everyone about his mean green machine and the shenanigans he got up to no matter the context of the conversation. Despite being a Honda Moto employee lmao
The black bird will get you arrested. Zx14 or just stay home

Yeap. Like every honda employee they secretly love Kawis.
That liter bike roast nailed me. Was on a ride with some friends and his nephew. Mind you nephew had been riding since he was 5 probably (unbeknownst to me). I panick braked my R1 on a blind turn it never seen and here comes this 17 year old on a 400 knee dragging passed me. Broke my heart it did
That's awesome
Don’t sell your litre bike. Always having to wring your bikes neck gets old.
ianno, i have a guzzi v7iii in my stable and i LOVE wringing it out as much as i love crushing supersports on shit wa state backroads with my 150 hp adv bike
@@quasigentrified3990 I have the V7 850. Fricken love that thing
regardless of your skill level, you will still be faster on a liter bike. Take that same rider off his 400 and he would be faster on the liter.
Got worried there for a second, looks like my clapped out Honda magna is safe! Anybody got zip ties, my saddlebag just fell off...
😂
I got a 82 magna 750 that's out of commission. Idk what's wrong with it. Got something else now. But now it's just sitting in a parking lot. Sad. Gonna sell it or part it out
@Bgoods8 tough call. Parting out is smart financially but it sucks so bad to know you signed a death sentence for a bike. It's like putting a dog down. Heartbreaking is what that is. But... you could always pick up a shop manual and bring it back. Spark. Fuel. Compression. Motor will run!
The number of times you've mentioned that 14 year old on a 400... They really hurt you, didn't they?
Some kid with more balls than brains smoked him some day I’m sure lol happens to the best of us. I was riding my dr650 in a logging area and some kid showed up on a Honda 250 in a tshirt and no helmet and ran circles around me. I know the feel

@@gerdz101 I'm going to be a mature adult.
As a Dyna owner for over 20 years.... you are SPOT ON! Mine's relatively stock and dependable.. and totally mild.
Kinda felt bad for Dyna for a while when the price point was so high that Softail and so on was comparable. Why now it has become Softail only to consolidate the lines. Since Softails priced at the same or near a dyna probably outsold anyway. Or say for 1k more get the softail.
We could argue that modification for a dyna as a canvas but it is true for a Softail or a sportster so it is moot. This lead to the merger of certain dyna styles as a Softail in the family
Please... This dude is just another trash talking clown who wants to bag on people online that he would never talk to in person.
Hahaha Yeah I had. Duc Monser and got called on the L-twin tag, D’oh! Mine was the fun ‘99 carbureted 750. 😢😂😂
@@KingKoopa1talk bad about your bike eh?
@@radiowave1211 Nope... I don't ride a Dyna. I just call em like I see em.
Enjoyed your review. I admit I have an SV650S. The only things Ive done with it is upgrade the exhaust, install a cruise control and put in handgrip warmers. I specifically bought it to ride the 110ks to and from work each day here in the country. For me it's a great midrange bike, Handles well, accelerates well and TBH I don't need or care to race some clown or ride like a dick. I just enjoy the ride and the bike does what I want it too. That's it.
Finally a Yami Noob that offends almost all of us but doesn't end with him yelling "watch Yami Noob, watch Yami Noob"!
Yammie makes motorcycle content approachable in a way few can and despite having no plans to one one in the near future makes me feel included.
love the heat Yammie brings when talking about critics talking about Harley and SV650 😂 hilarious!
as a harley guy, i can say that is 100000% what every harley guy says. thanks for all the fun content Papa Yam!
That is absolutely not true,up until fairly recently the dynas were selling very well and people like them. I’ve been riding for 50 years and I’ve never heard anyone bash another guys Dynaglide. That is like saying anyone that rides an Electraglide is a cripple up old geezer. It’s all in what you like.
@@ricooreily1597 Dyna's quit selling decently because harley quit making them.
I’m 27 with a dyna street bob😅
That’s what is confusing. They stopped making them but it was one of their better selling models.
That’s great! We need some young blood in the bar and shield
Haha that commentary on the BMW adventure bikes is hilarious and so spot on. I really like my KTM 890 ADV R, but 95% of the miles are on pavement :(. ADV bikes can be capable off road, but nobody ever tells you how much physical work they are to ride on terrain that would be simple for a mountain bike
That's why I would rather have a Honda CRF 300L. That bike and its predecessors can do anything, anywhere around the world when it comes to adventure biking. So many videos out there to prove it.
I did a green lane day with the guys I work with last summer, I was on a wr400 on ktm Duke wheels using 50/50 tires, not ideal but I didn't have to many issues. Another guy was on a husky te449 (good overall but cut out randomly alot) and finally the other guy was on a tiger 800 xc. Two of us are instructors and the other was a motocross racer and won a few championships. So we can all ride pretty well. The tiger was a nightmare frankly way way too heavy and too tall geared, ended up cooking the clutch twice. If you want to do abit of off road get a duel sport and go for one under 150kg anything heavier then about 150kg is really hard work especially if it's rutty
I mean, I wouldn't take my AT on hard enduro but it does fine on trails, even with downed branches and smallish trees. With the right tires of course.
@@ZildjianMan30 I took my 250L and did the alpine loop. It made it but it was not fun in certain parts. Feel bad for the average adventure guy that hits black bear/engineer.
I know how hard it can be to take my Dr650 in the single track, and that has just confirmed I’m never buying a true heavy weight adventure.
I had to chuckle when you mentioned the dyna, I got one and kept it for 4 weeks. I couldn't get on with being overtaken by bicycles in every curve.
You were getting passed by bicycles on a twin cam Dyna?
@@ricooreily1597 hi Rico, I was being sarcastic but I certainly couldn't take the curves as quickly as I'd been accustomed to. The forward controls were a nightmare for that aspect of riding and my local roads are all better suited to different bikes.
People whose only measure of a motorcycle is pure speed annoy the shit outta me NGL. If you wanna race go to the track.
I work at a dealership and every time someone rolls up in a harley, they bought 6 months ago and only rode 3 times with only 500 miles on it, I know they are bare minimum 10k buried in that thing. The shock on their face is crazy. They start throwing out how they have a stage 3 kit and the harley salesmen said that harleys are great in holding their value, and they will go to the harley dealership and sell it. Then the shock gets even worse when they realize we called the harley dealership to get that number on their bike.
As a Softail owner, I know exactly the kind of people you're referring to in your HD segment, and they are mostly why I do not mingle with harley people. My two cents: I rented a few bikes for track days and had lots of fun, but in the end my Softail, apart from being very dear to me because it was a last gift from a family friend before he passed away due to cancer, does what I need it to do, take me from A to B, and letting me enjoy the ride. I took her all around Europe on a motocamping trip, and loved every minute of it. Couldn't imagine doing it with a different bike.
Fortnine actually has a video on why people buy Harleys, and none of those reasons are because they are good at anything. Lol. I love my low rider s, but I will admit that it doesn't lean the best, it's not the fastest, it's too heavy, and it's not the sportiest. I love it because of the sound, feel, and style. And because it's my bike.
@@Redrickson1 that's exactly it. Our babies handle like a ton of bricks, have the acceleration of a tractor, and are just as noisy. But we love them anyway. Ahahah
If you want to have fun at track days with a crotch rocket you can always rent one.
The most try hard comment ever
@@darktimbercustomknives6248 ok. I perfectly know this is bait, but I'll bite. Tell me why that is. At the end of the day a bike is a bike, I love mine, if someone else doesn't it's not like I'm holding my breath or something. You might have missed the whole point of this.
@@undead9999 What do you expect with that kind of profile name lol.
We need more DynaBro impressions from Yam, I almost choked on my Trix cereal hearing that
Lmao @ trix cereal
“Why? Who hurt you?” That line made me laugh and cry at the same time…
I love every custom motorcycle because it's a representation of what the rider likes. Even if it's ugly to me I think it's cool. Variety is the spice of life my friend
“Liter bikes are for tryhards just get a turbo busa” I love this channel
That Sigh of relief when you realize your bike is not on the list shortly followed by the crippling sadness when you remembered it’s because you don’t have a bike because yours was stolen 😫😩😤🤬
My previous ride was a Yamaha Road Star. People would often ask "Is that a Harley?" Then I found a babied one owner Dyna which I like very much.
But I've never been asked "Is that a Yamamha?"
I have a road star and get asked all the time what kind of Harley it is. It’s great.
@@blakebenson1606it's a Yamaharley.
As a Dyna owner and rider, can confirm. I absolutely love it but the Dyna community can be beyond obnoxious. I ride a wide glide and that bike gets sooo much hate even from other Dyna owners. Not everyone’s cup o tea but I love it and it works for me and my style of riding
I totally agree with the SV650, they were great because they were affordable. Now that they aren't they just don't seem worth it.
Still the best affordable bike new for a mid level standard… no used bike is cheap now.
only to add, SV is almost anywhere cheaper than Z650 or mt-07!
Heck, its almost the same price as ninja400 where I live!
And unlike anything above is dependable and reliable!
I never see sv650 on the streets anymore
It took me a while to buy my GS 1200 R. I had to arrive at it because every middle aged guy in Rome has one. And of those, 99% will never go off road. So I didn’t want to be a poser, or in this case a “Try Hard”. But then I rented one, and it was a dream to ride, it was smooth on the rough roads and could handle gravel or collapsed asphalt in the country with ease. It was the perfect bike for me where I am at now. And that’s what matters.
I'm the third owner of this 9.000 km 2015 GSA. They had no idea what they had. I changed the 21 inch front wheel for a stronger 19 inch by 2.5 inch EXCEL rim. Recluse clutch pack. Changing the gearing up to go to the 2 800 km Ride to the Western Australian / South Australian boarder and return...Hitting some dirt along the way.
I just bought a dyna and I'm still in the "I've never completed a lap around the block" phase of learning to ride. Simply found it at a good price and had the opportunity. The thing is totally stock even has the muffler still on it is the quietest harley I've ever witnessed.
I'm sure there are better bikes out there but she's mine and I'm happy with the purchase despite the fact I'm totally inexperienced and learning on a 1450cc bike 😅
I’m in the exact same boat. Just recently got my dyna and haven’t done much besides parking lot stuff. Mine is the 1340
You are in good company! Same way I got my 97 Dyna Super
Meh 1450 is fine on a Harley. No Harley is gonna overwhelm you with its power.
Good luck, but personally I would NEVER recommend ANY beginner ride something bigger than a 650. Start small to medium and if you don't like it its hasn't cost too much.
Its like parents who tell me their kid wants to learn to play guitar what should they buy. Maybe a Fender? My answer is No way. Get a cheap guitar amp package and if they don't like it in 6 months then you haven't waste a couple of grand just on the guitar let alone an amp. So yeah, same with a bike.
Update, two months later and I love my dyna. Took it super easy starting out, and slowly got more and more comfortable with it. Really glad I started out with the dyna.
These are good yams. Hilarious outbursts, list sure to troll all of the try-hards (ironic?), and it felt like the listicle videos of old. Thanks for doing this..thought we lost the classic list format for a while there.
Hey yam daddy I just went for my first ride. I stalled a lot it was amazing and terrifying. It was raining lightly as well. Looks like I need to work on clutch control. Also ran into the I shifted all the way down to first but the bike didn’t. Did the rock back and forth thing you taught me and it worked. If only I would have tried that the first or second time I stalled but it took me like 5 lol. Starting with a 2003 Kawasaki Vulcan 500. Pulls me around just fine. I know it’s carbureted but I got it for $500
Nothing wrong with carbies (aside from having to wait for them to warm up on choke). Only thing you'd get flak for is that everyone should start on sports bike, then move to their preferred style, but even on that you get a pass because the smaller vulcans are fairly sporty cruisers, so it should teach you fairly well.
The bit about the Dyna bro is spot on. I ride a street glide and they still try to tell me their Harley is better and I have to ride their dyna. 😂😂
On the days I can’t ride. I smoke a little smoke and watch Papa Yam roast us. Definitely a quality way to spend 15 minutes.
I’m so of a try hard, this weekend I took my Zx14r to a cruiser rally event.
I get so fired up whenever i get the notification that you uploaded a video. I literally wait for them ever day. Never stop 👍
For me its like a ritual, every night before I go to bed I have to watch some Yammie Noob
Yam rolled out of bed this morning and chose VIOLENCE. Was presently surprised when I found that zero track day 600's (such as myself) weren't on the list! Although I'm aware that the resentment is there lol
Yammie... the zx14 is one of the comfortable sport bikes I've ever ridden. And the hyper mototard is just plain awesome. Love ya!
As a ZX14R owner, I knew exactly what was going to happen. 😂
Same, i was kinda expecting this, i am just disappointed that yammie said zzr has a 1441cc engine while the truth is that the engine used to be 1352 until 2012... I think i am proving a point...
Ditto. I got my 14 because of the busa boy culture annoyed me. Thus proving his point. 😂
@@brutusvk2 I got mine because it's a bit bigger and faster than the busa and all I do with it is commute daily.
@@gordonfarcus8047 they are nice bikes. No complaints about mine.
Yammie the squid king is just hating cause he has a Busa and the ZX14R is better
This whole video made me laugh, we all know “that guy” , I wore down in age, sold my cbr9rr, had kids...bought a HD, slugged along, loved the noise. Just traded in on a Aprilia tuono (non factory I’m old), and instantly loved riding again.
As a Harley Softail owner……the dyna bro segment had me dying you nailed it😂😂😂 $18,000 for something slower and worse technology than anything else out there. Love ya yammie🤘🏼
The over the top dramatic passion in this video had me cracking the hell up hahaha
So nice of you to exclude the KLR and save Spite's feeling, but we all know. We know.
I own a ZX-14R and a KLR 650. I spent most of this video praying the KLR didn't make the list too.
My first bike was a CBR500R and that inner monologue you described was legit exactly what led me to getting one haha yeah its vanilla but I wanted that at the time because they hold their value well over here in Australia and I knew I was gonna sell it after a year once I'd learnt how to ride well enough to step up....to...a litre bike... sh!t.... hahaha
SAME HERE MAN AHAHAHAHA
This video is hilarious bro. Good job.
I like how it goes from 4-6 on the timestamps. Love ya papa yamm!!
as a gen 2 sv650 owner, it is the perfect motorcycle and I love feeling like a nerd and a big sv simp riding one
Same here 👍🏼 it’s my first and only bike I’ve ridden. but I hope to try other bikes soon
I'm actually looking at one now as a street bike..currently on a gsxr750
@@L0new0lfz363 mines my first bike too, got it last summer and i’m in love
I’ve never understood why people get called try hard, it’s always by someone who can’t do what you do 😂
Haha killing me softly with the commentary, good Job !
i picked up a zx10r this year for super cheap, great deal and it is SOOOO much more bike than anyone could ever need on the street. After my first ride I asked, "how is this thing legal" lol. I've only redlined it once and I was doubling the speed limit... in first gear...
I love my SV. It's 100% stock, fun in the Twisties and a comfy commute. I didn't know I was supposed to be trying! I thought I was just supposed to have fun! 😂
But yeah... I definitely want another bike. No matter how many we have we're always going to want another one!
I was confident my bike wouldn't make this list, I was wrong! Ducati Hypermotard is what it is but I can't disagree with the Noob. Makes fun wheelies though! 🤪
ROFLMAO!!! I ride an old Sportster, and I almost fell out of the chair on the Dyna roast. Absolute GOLD Yam!
"listen!", he said lol. The writing on your videos cracks me up.
As an SV650 owner HOW DARE YOU, SIR! I can't believe you... Accurately... Described... God damn it. I mean, I love my SV but the tech package for the price is lacking and while it's a really solid all-rounder it also means it's not the best for any one thing. I'd argue that makes it a great first bike, though. It can be anything but not as well as something purpose-built. That makes it great for showing you the kind of bike you really want for your next bike, maybe your forever bike? Who knows.
But until that day comes when my SV gets traded in for a brand new , I'll still have a lot of fun because, turns out, motorcycles are fun and the SV650 is still a really fun one.
Though these days I feel like I should have gotten a cheap 400cc and expected to replace it 1 year in. Had I done that I think I would have ended on an RS 660.
I rarely comment on youtube videos in general, but I have to agree with you. I have an older SV, and honestly, having rode a few bikes now, the SV has made me learn that I want a faster naked bike and not the r6 that I wanted originally or the 4 cylinder naked that I was thinking about settling for. This may make you roll your eyes, but I've decided that unless I ride something that happens to change my life along the way, I'm probably going to get a ducati monster as my next bike.
@@notaskinwalker3566 Have you ridden a Street Triple? They are quite nice.
I want something a little faster but with some more wind protection, personally. But maybe not full sport touring. So RS 660 and Tuono 660 are currently higher on my list.
@@notaskinwalker3566 Honda should bring Super Four and Super Bol D'or to USA, about the surprisingly fast dork bikes ever.
I have a gen 1 SV650 N and Papa Yams broke my heart with this one (jokes ofc) because when I was doing research on what first bike to get, his video about the SV650 was what finally swayed me. Jokes aside tho, he is right. The SV650 (Gen 1) suspension package is lacking, some of the materials used are cheap, you cant do dank nooners or it turns into an SV325 but damn. Got damn is it a fun bike to ride solo or with the bros. I will always keep this SV650 but eventually I will get a dedicated ADV, 600cc street bike, and maybe even a liter bike for the memes. In summary, the SV650 is an AMAZING machine to start with and even for experienced riders, just don't ask it to be top in class in any particular category. It's like a BMW E36, pretty good in most categories and can be modded to do most anything, buuuut nothing that will blow your socks off.
@@TheOnceAndFutureDoug yessir they are nice bikes, as well as the street triple rs. Source: work at a Triumph dealership
Had me laughing till he came after my hypermotard. Not cool, bro. I had to take out a second mortgage for that.
Lol 😂 hv one too, caught me off guard
Haha me as well. But I'm sorry, it's a fun bike! But it is a bit try hard. Same with the street fighter. At least the hyper makes a good shenanigan bike, touring bike and commuter!
Way back in 2008, I traded my R6 for an R1. I've told everyone since that the R6 was more fun. I should've just gotten a newer R6 for sure.
What if I just want to look cool on a weekend while "driving" my motorcycle out of the trailer at Sturgis??? Lmao! Fun video... 🤟🤪🎸
SV1000, whew. Just glad I don't need to do anything to it. It was $2400 with less than 10k and I've just had basic maintenance and love it to bits. Yeah it's kinda Suzuki crap, and it's barely faster than a 600, but for that price tag I don't see how it could be beat.
But that Vtwin sound and torque😍
@@rileygates6502 it is pretty fun to just be cruising at 60 and be able to blip the throttle a few times in a row and have the bike buck you around angrily lol.
Thats what the market is missing these days. Just good street sports bikes. Not a track bike with blinkers (faired or naked).
As the guy on the Blue Yamaha FZ6 with the broadsword, pictured near the beginning of this video (0.33), I appreciate that the photo is still traveling and still of use. Took that photo when I bought my first bike in early 2006 and put it up on the sport bike forum I happened to be on back then as a joke, and it has traveled far more then I ever have.

@@stacys3857 it is, I absolutely agree.
*Europe
Bought my 2002 SV650 for $3k with just over 12k miles on it. Sure it's definitely used but it was on the low end of my budget for a motorcycle. And yes it has turned me into a SV650 simp 🤣
Dude you are seriosly funny, keep at it! :D
In order for the Turbo Busa to beat us it has to be able to stay out of the shop. Plus all our gauges work at the end of the day 😂.
I fell for that exact 500 trap with the cb500f. Less than a year later and I'm wanting something different
haha same. I'm trying to convert it to a quasi tourer/adv bike now because as a pure street bike, it's kinda boring. Raised handlebars, windscreen, panniers, knobbies. Handles some off-roading reasonably well and it's still pretty comfortable at highway speeds. Definitely just wishing I had crf300l rally at this point but the CB has grown on me. My girlfriend has a BMW 310 r and while it's basically just as fast, it feels like it is going to fall apart at highway speeds so that made me feel a bit better about the purchase.
@@stevenr3729 I want to find a vstrom 650 at the end of this riding season unless Honda finally announces the Transalp
If you aint happy with your current bike, than you won't be happy with the next one.

The comedy in this is tremendous 😂
The secret to legit Supermotos ownership is running a legit race bike set-up and owning a pickup truck, a small generator and tire warmers. Truck it to the canyon, pre-run the canyon in the truck with your trusty big ass push broom and some absorbent in the bed, then unload and suit up while the tires are getting toasty 🤙🏻
My try hard is a ktm 650 sm. ill be picking one up for 4k. 😊
I would love to see what list a DR650 would be on. Good or bad I want it !
Same as the klr most likely.
In all seriousness having a Harley is more of a lifestyle, a different lifestyle from just a normal motorcycle lifestyle. That being said I love my HARLEYS.
I lost it when he said "I put a screamin' seagull air breather on my dyna!" 🤣💀
I am always in the "target" group 😂 but i admit, i bought the GSA to get to work all year round...no hardcore trial stuff... And I live in Switzerland hence heated grips rule.
Hey yammie I’m from India and I’m a cruiser guy. I’ve been dreaming to buy triumph speedmaster is it good in your opinion
The hard part is overcoming that desperate state. I first heard this advice two years ago, and I'm still trying. I have learned a lot through doing so, so it was certainly worthwhile. But, I still have yet to find the joy in being alone. It's hard, but nothing worthwhile isn't
As a former sv650 owner, that sv650 monologue made me weak at the knees. So true lol
You broke my heart when you said CBR500R are try hard Yammi ☹️
I started riding in January cause I started watching your videos and after 6 years I finally got a bike and got the CBR500R. 💔
lol jk it’s all good Yammi I still have fun riding around in it 😎
I'm surprised you guys have never talked about the Suzuki Bandit series of motorcycles, or from what I can find. The 600 / 650 are are strong choice as the "first big bike" in the UK/EU as they are can comply with A2 regulations, really fun to ride and dirt cheap to pick up. Even whilst restricted, they're a lot of fun - speaking from experience. Would love to finally see a video on them!
I had a 03 1200 and loved it to bits❤
@@salg500 I had a 1200 bandit and smashed it to bits 🤣
Was a fun bike though!
Started on a 650 bandit as my first big bike in France, still have it though it's my little brother who uses it most nowadays as I'm usually on my 1200 thruxton. I love my bandit, it's nearing 90 000 kms now and I intend to keep it until it dies, which isn't going to happen any time soon. Restricted, like with all 4 cylinders bikes it's too heavy and you really feel the lack of power, but it's great in full. It's surprisingly agile and fun on our twisty Normandy roads.
@@kattharsismic they're fantastic bikes! I look to keep mine too, albeit with maybe some upgrades. Funny you mentioned Normandy, I'll be there next summer on a road trip!
@@hopalong8715 enjoy your trip here mate!
10:49 I'm sure it's a MUCH better feeling over passing inside, opposing lane. Lol
Hey Yammie Noob, this might be an odd question but what is the name of the motorcycle that you used for the video cover. I am new to motorcycles and thought that bike looked awesome!
I'd get a Busa or even a T Busa if I could ever find roads like the ones in your videos.
Yammie roasting everyone 🤣! I really enjoyed the GS ! Do more GS and wannabe ADV riders 😁 I have a SV... thanks for being kind 😉
no one is safe
I'm safe. Honda ruckus?
@@codymoore1223 you’re not even safe in traffic
@@stacys3857 🤣
@@stacys3857 what traffic? I don't live around anyone for miles
I enjoyed the unhinged screaming
I don't run in the sport bike universe, so most of the snark went over my head, but it was still amusing!
I love how you performed the comment section at the beginning of each bike.
Whoa there yammy. When it comes to the cbr 500r, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that little extra weight. I mean, sure that might slow down that acceleration speed a tad bit compared to an r3 or ninja 400. But it WILL make the freeway at 70mph a bit more comfortable. Extra weight makes for those road grooves to not feel so strong. And can you really put a price in comfort like that? No you can't. That's not try hard at all. That just big brain energy my dude. 🤌
Crusing on the highway costs practically nothing. Great first bike
I think he dissected that exact “better on the freeway because of the weight” argument when he made the other video shitting on it.
try hard
yammie: 300cc is slow
me: start crying in european 125cc
At least you can get a 250-four with a screaming 20K redline. Low power or not, that's a racing class I'd love to daily in the US.
Holy balls I was rolling this entire video, Papa Yams is a true comedian xD
As someone who loves Harley, I also love your digs on Harley. Your roasts are golden.
"You need to be spite sized to pick it up"
It's 550 lbs, Yam
Have you been skipping your deadlifts?
550 and tall.
@@jimmyneutron5679 You can pick up any bike with the right technique but we need to keep Papa Yam humble.
You can pick it up easily in a flat surface, but you usually don't fall in flat surfaces, you fall in the weirdes, most fucked up places and in those places sometimes it's impossible to pick up a 550 lbs (650 with luggage) bike
@@aao331 where you land is irrelevant, as long as the two wheel touch the ground the lever effect is still the same.
I 100% agree about the litre bike segment. I picked one up, a 2014 CBR1000RR SP, because all my friends have R1Ms, S1000RRs, Panigales, and I wanted to be a fast boi too. It’s completely unnecessary- it overheats in traffic, it goes through fuel faster than my K1300S, and I can’t use more than 20% of its capabilities on the streets. But that hard park flex tho…
Overheats in traffic? Something is wrong with your bike homie
EXACTLY the reason i bought my faithful CBR600F4 back in '00. Sick of defending my decision to the masses about why I didn't get the 1000. Well, in Australia, the speed limit is 100km/h, which the 600 is quite capable of hitting in 1st gear. Plus it was a few thousand cheaper too.
@@KegRaider my first bike was an 03 cbr600rr, rode that from 14 years old until I was about 20, then sold it to buy a shadow to trade my dad for is cbr1000rr. Rode that bike for only a couple years, yes it was insanely fun on curvy roads and long open road with no cops. But that thing destroyed my back and neck, now I'm going down to a new cb500f that I'm picking up tomorrow. Just need a nice light bike to commute to work while the gas prices are insane where I live. I don't really think I need a 600 for the price I'm getting and the gas mileage is great
@@TheBomberman122 Oh that price right!! If you had said to me 20 years ago that it would cost me $30 (Australia) to fuel up my motorbike, I would have laughed at you...... the 600 still gets great economy though, providing you don't wring it's neck every gear and ride sedately. I bought it when I was 25, so now being an old fart on a sports bike, i'm a lot more sedate than i used to be anyway :)
08 gsxr 1000 here. I ride it almost everyday and love it started out on cruisers and couldn't stand them. I didn't get into motorcycles to be comfortable though.
A Dyna or a Softail is not a sport bike and no amount of money can make it one. A 7k crotch rocket will always outperform a cruiser. The difference is this :
Harley Davidson builds heirloom motorcycles. The others do not. No one has ever bought a Harley and then traded it in for a Ninja. You may buy a Ninja for a 2nd bike, but the Harley will stay.
Sport Bikes are disposable, but Milwaukee steel hangs around.
You and Ryan F9 certainly have a fixation with phallic references
SVs sure cost a pretty penny in the ol' US of A. Last month I bought nice 2005 with 30k miles on the clock for 2,5k here in Europe. And even in a tiny country like Czechia I could choose between like fifteen others going from 2 to about 3,5k. I got my STriple out for engine rebuild so I just bought nice donkey bike to fill in for it. Nothing bad about an SV.
prices are way up here, and holding, even old bikes sell for when new prices. its crazy. now is not the time to buy anything. here.
Bought a 2008 model with 40k kilometers (so a bit under 25k miles) for 2.5k€ and I even found some with reasonable millage for under 1.5k here in France. It’s super easy and fun to drive, and a reasonable option as a starter bike. Plus it gets my pp hard so yep definitely nothing wrong with it for me
@@antoine7269 bought my 03 sv for $2800 with 12500 miles lol. Runs great.
It’s not just a meme, from 00-10 only 3 kinds of bikes sold in America. Cruisers, dirt bikes, and fully fledged sport bikes. Even today many people who “ride” have the hell confused out of them by the concept of a sport naked
Also while we didn’t have that many, before Biden ruined the country they were selling for roughly 2500-3000 USD all day
What’s the smallest room in the world?
The Harley Davidson Hall of Fame.
RSV4 is one of the few streetable liter bikes in my opinion. I dunno what it is, but the 660 and RSV4 are at this point where you can tuck down hard but the upright seating angle is more comfortable than any supersport I've ever been on.
You hurt my feelers Yam 😭😭🙃😆😆😆 Why do I listen to you yammer on about bikes and riders? Because it is funny, we can relate, and you are right!!!! (mostly)
... you gave props to the Tenere 700, which happens to be my current ride. Yam approved!!!! I rule!!! 😆😆
Per Yammie video logic, my first bike was a Vulcan S and my current bike is a GS, I went from dork to potential “try hard”. I think certain GS riders give the bike a bad rep which is sad to me. I like the fact that it is a big behemoth that I can tour with and taken on a fire road if traffic is bad. I think between the seat position, ergos and luggage space it makes a great commuter.
He shits so hard on kawasaki 650s that it just makes me want a ninja more
Both the Versys 650LT and the R1250GS are at the top of the ('21 - I believe?) daily rider leaderboard.
Yammie being hypocritical about people accepting busted GS as "Character and experience" and yet shit on big 4 sports bikes as "Boring" especially on Honda for being hyper reliable.
Yeah but a drz400 will do the same thing and still handle off road better
@@nicksmith4808 But it's a terrible commuter, unless your commute is single track (!) on the E/S or city / slow highway on the SM.
haven't rode the Busa or the ZX14 but I heard the ZX14 corners very well considering and the busa,,, mmm not so. maybe new ones better
I've seen ZX14 riders do pretty damn good in twisties compared to busa boys.
I think the zx has better ground clearance
I'm new to this world and I just wanna say that I love that there's mildly toxic entertaining discourse like this even within this community
Saw the thumbnail and said damn that’s a sweet looking bike! Then I read the title……now I have some self reflection and contemplation to do.
