There's a lot of motorcycles I LOVE but would NEVER own. Because I'm broke.
Same here, i cant even pay my registration. Need to think about what needs to go car or motorcycle
Yes! Sadly...
@@alitoroganan2442car needs to go obviously
@@quandaIedingIe maybe if you didn’t vote for shit policies and higher taxes, you would be less broke. Just a thought
@@sebastianchmist6976 not the boosted Dc5😢
1) I have an RC8R with the engine, suspension, brakes and electronics of a 20' 1290 Super Duke R and it the best monster I have ever created.
2) I own two MVs with 10k+ miles on each and never had any problem with them.
The problem is the mv agusta he had was before Euro 5. The modern bikes, especially 2019 and after, are actually fairly reliable. So long as you follow the maintenance intervals. My only real problem with MV myself is they're kind of slow on the electronics. I've test driven an f 3, and I found the dashboard to be a little laggier than it should have been. Especially on a bike that's over 16 Grand. Not going to stop me from buying one, but still
Nice bikes
Rich. Good for you
Sounds like a KTM version of 7/11
Regarding the VMAX's reliability. I have a 2009 which I bought new in 2009. Problems so far: zero. The only servicing that has been required is just regular maintenance: oil, coolant, battery, and tires all of which I did myself except the tires. Its the most reliable bike that I've ever owned and I have owned many bikes since I began riding in 1967.
How many miles on yours?
@@vettonator About 13,000. I don't ride it that much.
hey if you like the MV Agusta as a track bike, I can only recommend it. I have the 2014 F3 675 which surely is "less reliable" than the new one you rode. But up to today, having it as a trackday bike for years it has been 100% reliable. I did around 6500 Km solely on track with it. I was doing the oil changes myself. Thats very easy. And here is a list of issue that it had in the ten years. Gear indicator sometimes blinks between two gears, there is a software update which I never went to get that would solve it. I replaced the rubber bushings on the rear sprocket (they last more on newer models, but cost almost nothing anyways and can be changed in like 15 minutes) and because I was not using torque wrench the oil drain bolt cracked, so i had to replace it. It was made in a way that the bolt cracks instead of you destroying the thread. Other than this no issues. The few parts I needed arrived within 14 days of ordering online. The MVs have issues mainly when ridden on the road. On the road people complain about rear brake overheating and getting soft because the cylinder is attached to the bottom of the engine, they complain it overheats in traffic and little things like that, but none of it happens on track. It is just a track bike with number plates. It doesnt work on the road, but it surely does work on the track, no overheating even in big heat, brakes never fade. And even on the straights I go as fast with the 675 as my father on a gsxr 750, I have better laptimes on the MV too. I had mine fully stock other than the crash protection the whole time and never felt limited by anything. I borrowed to a guy who won a european championship to ask what I should change about the bike and all he said was put a raceshift, other than that he said "I dont see any weak areas". Really worth it for track, even in terms of price as you dont need to be replacing tons of things immediately to make it ridable like you have to on japanese bikes. Even the suspension is fine stock.
in comparison my fathers gsxr 750 as a trackbike is way more trouble. Brakes were crap, so a new master cylinder and brake pads, still not as good as the MV. Suspension had to be done, of course immediately needs rear sets. The ECU was cooking itself so it had to be relocated. Needed a power comander and engine tune because the throttle reactions were way too harsh and here it goes. A lot of extra money to not even get on the level of the MV completely stock
Former Rocket 3 GT owner here 👋
I went into the purchase with serious reservations about the heft and sheer power. I honestly thought it was going to be a terrible decision because of those factors. I was dead wrong about that. The power .. there is ALWAYS power available, any gear you're in, anywhere in the powerband. It's just phenomenal. And despite that, it never feels like it's going to get away from you, so long as you handle it respectfully. Even the scenarios where you hit a major bump and you think you're going to accidentally overtwist the throttle and fly into space .. never really happened. And the weight? You do feel it a bit in the corners, but not terribly, and the center of gravity sits way lower than, say, a Softail Low Rider S. In fact, in my garage, when trying to turn it around, I could do a 3 point turn on the Rocket 3 whilst the Low Rider would normally be a 7 pointer. Remarkable. The bike is also a masterpiece of design, and really takes the "bespoke" part to heart. It's just beautiful.
But I didn't keep it long. And here's why.
1. Bespoke. Just imagine being on a roadtrip in the US, and you break down somewhere. Not only are Triumph dealers relatively few and far between in my part of the country, the Rocket 3 shares so few parts with other Triumphs that you can be waiting a long time. Also, it was nearly impossible to go anywhere, whether a bike night or even a gas station, without someone scratching their head and having a hundred questions about exactly what they were looking it.
2. Bulk. Note that this is NOT weight. I'm talking about things like, say, that gigantic rear tire. Slow speed maneuvering were VERY difficult, at least at my skill level. Even low speed curves in the road were challenging because the bike just kept wanting to pop upright. I had one occasion where I needed to park on gravel, and let's just say I did not successfully complete the operation. I didn't drop the bike, but I came close.
3. Weight. OK, I said the weight isn't terrible. And it really isn't. EXCEPT if you lowside it. This never happened to me, but in sitting atop the Rocket 3, I can't imagine a scenario where a lowside doesn't immediately result in a shattered leg or horribly burned. Really, the #3 issue is also the heat. The headers are right next to your thigh and they get HOT. I was honestly terrified about ever dropping this because, believe it or not, right to emergency room.
Cool bike, I'm super grateful I had a chance to put a couple thousand miles on one, and I'm sad I don't get to look at it every day anymore, but I'm also not sad to have been saved from the fate that is the life of a Rocket 3 owner.
Papap Yammie , I got my first street bike :) Been riding for like maybe 1 month now, absolutely loving it! All your tips and tricks have helped a ton 👍
Yammie Noob "I'd love a Kawasaki KLR650, but their intense powerband makes me poopie my pants every time"
As for the Rocket 3 if you wouldn't rude a 165hp 800 pound bike then 80hp 800 pound Harleys REALLY are off the list!
640 pound not 800, 800 is gen1
Lol Yammie, I don’t like it because it’s complicated to own.
Also Yammie, owns a Ducati and a discontinued Triumph 675
I got a ZH2 and I could never get bored of it. I love that thing.
I own a 2010 VMAX 1700 and I love it. If you ever get a chance to ride one with the usual mods like exhaust and air box mod with an unrestricted ECU you should definitely do so cuz it's a whole different animal than the stock one you rode. They are heavily restricted from the factory so an ecu flash really unleashes the bike's true potential. In 53,000 miles the only repairs mine has needed was fork seals and basic maintenance. It's been super easy to work on so far. Easiest back tire I've ever done, no belt or chain to worry about. All around it's a badass and well built bike IMO.
You're reasoning is logical, I actually agree. Before I played the video my mind said H2 LoL
Crazy! Out of the list I owned a Rocket 3 and have a Ural in the stable. I picked up the Ural for my 2 girls so we can all ride together or for date night with the wife.
Fun fact: ural has spring unit on front suspension instead of damping unit. 😅
Fwiw - I had an MV F3-800 for 4yrs. Once they got the sprag clutch issue sorted I had no problems over the 4yrs I had it. I put 24,000 miles on her in those 4yrs.
I only got rid or her because MV, going through one of their “will we go bust?” moments, and I struggled to get service parts. So she got swapped a Panigale V2
Congratulations on the little one. Or, sorry the phone ringing startled you and you didn't pull out in time. Whichever is most appropriate to your situation.
lmao
The Rocket is the bollocks. May be heavy but when it's going, it just don't feel heavy. Hell of a machine
Im still in love with my Honda XL 500R 82 mod. Had her all the time. Not for sale 😂😎
And an Multistrada 1000 DS aircooled lovemachine…. In love with her to 😂😎
I own an MV Agusta F3 RR and it's the best thing ever(I daily it.) I could never imagine myself on a different bike.
How long do you have it? Reliability?
@@sajadyaghubi6536 I've had multiple models, Had a Brutale 800RR, F3 800 RC 2020 and now F3 RR 2023, covered over 20k miles on all of them, not a single issue so far into my MV ownership and I love the brand, i'd never own anything but an MV, major fanboy I know but there is just something so special about them.
@@TheHiszpanTV not even rear brake issue ? got a superveloce and rear brake (and battery problems)
@@MontainDiscovery No rear brake problems, when it's very very hot it fades a little sometimes, but beyond that never.
As an owner of an mv superveloce, I both agree and disagree with the reliability part of it.
Rear brake has reliability issues, battery as well, but - for me - that'it. And I don't think these part are tough to work on.
But, I don't do the hard mechanical part myself, and I can kinda comprehend why in the US where the grid is even thinner than in europe you can have second thoughts.
Great videos though
and yes i am a masochist enough to use it every sunny day.
Shoulda gotten the MV. I’ve had two, an older F4 1000 and Brutale Dragster triple. Fantastic machines.
Funny that you have a Ducati scrambler in the background, that’s the one bike I love but would never own😅
5:20 I get it Yam -- I started out riding old cruisers, and the first bike that I wanted after wrenching for years like the cafe racers do, finally came up and in my price range (fixer upper lol). a 2nd gen SV650. I rode it every day for almost a year, and just recently, another bike I have been wanting came up - a 2006 Hornet 919. and I LOVE it! seriously, I now know exactly what you meant about the 919. but a few weeks later, and I'm wanting to get back to my SV - - its light, peppy, has factory luggage racks, forever reliable, and has fairings. there's nothing I cant do with it on the street. and the 919 is still AMAZING. but its also big and cumbersome compared to the SV .... so
I think I'm gonna sell it. 🤷♂
Oh man - I LOVED my F3 so much, but it was a serious problem child, and parts were impossible to get. I sold it and got a Daytona after it tried to kill me when the rear hub seized.
Love the video. The blue fairing on the triumph hurts my eye balls.
I have a Harley V-Rod Muscle and I enjoy riding it, it has a very decent power to weight ratio, I'm seriously considering a Rocket III Roadster (the previous cruiser style, not the current bike) I always liked that bike and these days you can get them for very good prices, on paper it is far more torquier than the V-Rod and just a bit heavier (not saying that the V-Rod is light by any means, but i don't find the weight too difficult to handle).
The newer ones after 2020 are actually way below than the first 800lb dinosaur.
Just bought a brand new Zh2 a month ago and goes for it's break in service this weekend and already it makes me giggle like a kid. So cannot wait to give the berries.
Did you know engines are already broken in by the time you get the bike? You could’ve already been ripping around lol
@jockwithajoystick6851 That is not true. They only get run up on a small dyno for a few minutes to run checks. I have seen many bikes blow where they were not run in properly, especially high performance bmw's. It just isn't worth the risk on a brand new built engine with small metal shavings flying around the engine until it all beds in. With the cost of bikes now it's just not worth risking it. BMW won't even replace the engine if it has been derestricted too early and revved too high before the recommended break in period.
Three minutes fresh! Now thatsa gooda video!
Imagine.. an RC8R with the 1350 Vtwin inside it..... and totally cable-operated and analogue.
All other reasons aside, you can't afford or justify owning every bike you've ridden and enjoyed, welcome to the club.
"Bespoke" means custom made for a particular customer. Like a suit that is made just for you, or a Rolls-Royce where you call Rolls-Royce and tell them how you want them to make the interior. The Rocket 3 is not bespoke.
Any current KTM LC8c-equipped bike (790/890/Norden 901/800NK etc) should be on this list. Amazing engine while it works, but the camshafts are eating themselves alive.
About to pull the trigger on a 1985 Kawasaki GPZ 750. wish me luck!
Would you rather ride zx6r 19-23 gen or zx6r 24 gen or earlyer gen
As a semi-proud owner of a KTM RC8R, I would agree with you about the reliability. So far I've spent more time fixing it and taking care of leaks than enjoying the ride. However, it's been a little neglected over the last several years by the previous owner, so I hope once I get the bugs worked out it'll be better.
It won’t, sell it
Yeah... no get rid of it lol
I love my Hyper 1100s, but I do have some concerns with it being the age it is. Not that I’m concerned with the reliability, at nearly 60,000 miles it’s still going strong, but that I’d feel like a jerk taking the chance of wadding the thing up. So I tend to ride it less aggressively than I use to.
I feel like that bike will end up being a classic.
There's a lot of motorcycles I LOVE but would NEVER own. Because I'm brok
My first bike i bought is a Triumph Speed Twin 1200. Its just sooooo good to ride and superb for the ultra tight twisties here in my area. I think im gonna keep it forever and bought a Panigale V2 Bayliss today so i can get rid of my old 955i Daytona with over 28k miles on it
I guess you're in the US, but a 955i Daytona from early 2000's was my childhood dream bike ! ^^ Would love to own one as a track toy someday, but to have yours shipped to France might exceed the bike's price xD Have a nice day and ride safe✌
Let's be honest... Most vehicles Content Creators try to create a hype for can be fun but are hardly reliable and practical; hence, not worth the purchase by people with limited resources and/or like to keep their vehicles for a good time.
Being a 56yr old week-end Rider Ural is appealing to Me. Put an mounted MG on those its perfect!😆😆😆
How about the old Benelli Tornado Tre 900 as a contender for the best three cylinder sportbike
RC8R+Deals Gap= pure happiness.
I would definitely own a Motocompo, not to ride but to hang on the wall of my game room. If I could get one cheap enough. It doesn't even need to run.
Z H2 forever and always. Looking forward to the next major refresh
Damn Yammie, your first comment was a Porn-Bot; looks like you are gaining popularity!
17:17 It never stopped the Harley boys...
A lot of good belly laughs!!!, Keep it up lol
Mv Agusta you need to wait ages to get parts
Just test rode the XSR-900 at a Yamaha Demo Day, and it was one of the best bikes I've ever ridden🔥needless to say, can't wait for the R9, and if it never comes, the XSR is just fine
Yamaha announced months ago that the R9 will replace the R1 in 2025.
@@JoeStanek-vu7rl Feel like I've been hearing that since 2021 tbh, I'll believe it when I see it☠️
@@Next2Null you know that 2024 is the last year for the R1... they gotta replace it with something.
@@JoeStanek-vu7rl I Think the R1 is Only going away in Euro Markets? tbh The 900 (3 Cyl) Motor is more in the power range of 600cc 4 Cylinders. Nowhere near R1 power, or a viable "replacement"
That bike is so fun to ride, and pretty too.
These super sport are equal to super cars. You have to have the money and the space
I love your Black out tattoo🖤
I want to find a spot for a rocket 3 in my garage and that mv Augusta there good bikes
The rocket 3 weighs in the mid 600 lb range
Does anyone know if the giveaways work if you live in canada?
Always wanted an RD500 because who wouldn’t want a 2stroke 500cc GP bike. But then there is the game of which cylinder is misfiring, how much 2 stroke oil has it got, why do the brakes not work enough and why are the police shouting at me
Owned and loved the rc8r. But it doesn’t belong on the street and is punishing to cruise or ride slow.
2003 R6 Power!!!
Wild take considering the Duc sitting behind him is one of the lamest bikes they've ever made. I had a Hypermotard EVO 1100 SP and it was an absolute animal. It's a miracle I never received a ticket or worse on that bike. A buddy had a Ural when we lived in ATX and we took it everywhere, many bar hopping nights were had aboard that unreliable turd. Flying the sidecar over the sidewalk as we'd come around corners, a 6-pack in the sidecar, good times in our younger, dumber years.
I too want a Thruxton after having a 900 version back in 2010, but I want the green Final Edition version. I had a deposit down and was in line for one with my local dealer but when I realized it won't be fun beyond an hour of riding and it'll ultimately just end up being pricey garage art I just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger.
There are lots of great bikes out there that make very little sense to the masses and as we age we get a little better at defining what is an impulse passion purchase and what really makes sense for our needs. That said, there's always room for one unnecessary bike in the garage so maybe that Final Edition Thurxton will find its way into my stable sometime in the future.
Any interest in doing an on Track review of my Hyper 1100? Could be an interesting Video
The Harley ad in this video was so ironic🤣
For me its pretty much every motorcycle...until I own them lol
I thought the Goldwing would have made an appearance
No one wants a goldwing, they just want a 2 wheeled RV and have to settle for a Goldwing 😂
@moonmessiah9368 Because it's the best touring bike hands down
Everything else tries but fails to just work all day and be comfortable doing it
Is Yammie aware of the fact that there has been the KTM 990 SMR which he never actualy checked out?
RC8R has the 890 engine, not the LC8.
Edit: Im an idiot, the RC8C has the 890. Disregard the previous comment.
an 800ss in the wild!
I am glad the motocompo is here and not the grom. 2020 groms for lyfeeeee
I won't own most motorcycles, because well, I can't afford it.
People with cable actuated throttles say it’s a plus. Peep with throttle by wire say it’s better. Lol.
This list would have been mostly Harley-Davidsons if I would have made it
640 pounds for new rocket3, not 800
How do rocket 3?
So anything KTM, Ducati, Aprilia etc. Sure they'd be fun to ride but a nightmare to own
@GregLanz
I'll be the one to say it. I've had / have 3 KTMs, 2 Ducs and 2 Apes.
Most of my issues were self-inflicted. The recalls have been a lot less than on my BMW. On the Apes and Ducs, I rode them the 200 miles for recall type stuff.
you didn't mention M1000XR / S1000XR ?
Didn't you sell your Daytona?
Wait rocket 3 will wheelie???....better add one
Buy bikes because you love them. Not because they are popular. If there is something over your head to fix on it... pay someone who knows. I have a 2014 Rocket 3 and a 2018 Goldwing DCT Tour airbag. 2 bikes that EVERYONE has opinions on. Both are heavy and both ,as a automotive tech with 30+ years of experience, would ....not be comfortable working on personally. Bikes do not make sense as a logical means of transportation. They are about passion and enjoyment.
I’m waiting for new give away content bike🤘🏽
You put a lot of weird motorcycles on this list
I'd want a motocompo just to say I have a motocompo
i absolutely love my rocket 3
The second gen v-max is technically superior to the first gen but it doesn't look as good and it will never be as cool although still cooler than any other muscle bike
Hey so I got my first bike last week, and I bought new, but I noticed sometimes shifting into first or second it definitely clunks a bit, just trying to find out if it’s normal
Turbo Busa @5:10
100% on the Rocket 3....I'm British but that's a stupid motorcycle......I have a gen 1 vmax and adding a hayabusa to that....always liked both
They’re toys Yam. Toys amongst toys
I want a Ducati so bad but I would only buy one if I had ridiculous money
You can get an older Monster for pretty cheap, though maintenance might be a different story.
Amazing thing on internet: Ducati is more reliable than KTM ... lmao
I live in canada . Do I have a chance to win a bike from you
Would you own a Moto Guzzi
It will never be a Hyper 1100
Well if you can ship a motorcycle to Europe I will enter the giveaway
He keeps talking about his Daytona but he said he sold it?
I thought the same.. I hope he still has it and races.
Bro has to pay to enter to win...NOOOOOLL😢
i do love zx10r but i won't own it rather i would get a freakin busa
Don't buy a bike if you ever want to have money, you will always be broke.💸💸💸💸💸
Harley Davidsons and fully tricked out BMWs.
Wish you could have ridden an Aprilia SXV550. It would be on your list.
All depends on the support .. dealer network. I could run my Ducati down to Fast By Ferracci . about 15 minutes ... what a hoot.. Now Eraldo shut the biz down... now Montgomeryville took over the dealership.. thats 30 minutes the other way... The issue w/ Aprilia , MV Augusta is that dealera are few and far between. I'm not riding trailering my Ducati, my MV.. 4 hrs one way .. of course parts become an issue. I waited 90 days for a replacement magnesium cam cover for my Ducati.. but then I was only 15 minutes away. Heck I would snooze on FBFs big black couch watching WSBK waiting for my bike to be serviced.. All the "boutique" dealers are shutting down a shame !
CBR 500r.....lol?
The R3 is a Nissan Altima cosplaying as a bike.
LOL yes, R3 was his 1st bike, like Altima was his 1st car,
now he would prefer R1-M (or base model) & Nissan GTR V6
@chirag4 I was referring to the Rocket III, given that its and the Altima's engines have similar displacement, hp, and torque. I forgot that the R3 is something else, lol.
