Do you think this parallel twin naked bike can replace the SV650 as one of the most popular naked bikes on the road? Don't forget to subscribe to the channel, and if you're interested check out the patreon at www.patreon.com/spitescorner
Definitely gonna be difficult for them to replace the sv650's notoriety and well built reputation, for being an all around great bike almost being the Tacoma or jeep of the bike world with ability upon multiple generations of customizablilty and cross over parts, not only saying availability of said parts
TOTALLY! I subscribed the day or so after Yammie made his announcement, and there were like 14-15K subs just days ago. Let's hope for 100K by year's end!
52k subs today. Pretty good going. Still time to make it to 70k by the end of September. And congrats on the patreon account, though I have never used the service myself
@@edwinatwell7423 yeah it was strike 3 of the whole process by Eric at YN. First you fire the guy for selfish reasons, then you video the exit interview, and then knowing the polarizing hatred towards you while losing less than 10k subs, take down the video thus halting Spite’s rapid increase in subscribers! He could have at least left it up for momentum to help spites channel grow, but he was too worried about backlash. I guess Eric didn’t care if spite hit 10k after all
Gets fired. Gets 50k subs. Doesn’t whine for a split second. Puts head down and Cranks out a new video. Good hustle, keep grinding. Focus on the road ahead and keep the past in the rear view mirror. Class move
I love this format. Please don’t go down the route of juvenile memes and list videos. If you stick to solid, informative content and your down-to-earth style, you can’t go wrong.
Meming is fine. It just becomes stupid if it is only meming without any real content on the chanel. I would be fine if Spite is doing some vids for shits and giggles (like the harleyrider parody that he played very good) - if anybody dont like this type of content he dont have to watch it. 🤷♂️ Not every video have to be dead serious - its okay to have some fun and make us laugh.
Spite, you’re making the kind of content that I actually wanted to see from yammie without all the sellout bullshit and I think it’s great. Just a guy on a bike talking about bikes is what I’m here for. Keep up the good work :)
So far I'm digging Spite's content. Hopefully it stays a positive outlook on all things 2 wheels, as apposed to another channel that spends all his time bashing Harley and trying to get grown ass men to call him papa 😅🤣
Love how Spite is not entertaining negative comments about YN and not making content about it for views. I'm glad he reached the 10k subs milestone for this year!
@@spencers4121 I agree. His channel will grow organically. One bike at a time and with views, subs will have the means to add more and more content. This is a marathon not a sprint. He has a solid base/foundation.
I think it’s important not to forget what happened, with you know who. However I think we shouldn’t forget to engage in Spite’s actual content. That being said I’m super stocked to see Suzuki’s new bikes. As they are the biggest “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” company. A turbocharged parallel twin sounds dope and like it would sell like hot cakes. Me being one of the squids who would being screaming at Suzuki to take my money! 😅
Stock turbo motorcycle would be something I guess would come from either Honda or Suzuki, definitely not Yamaha and Kawasaki was planning supercharged small CC Ninja anyway.
We won’t silence all the Neanderthals acting like they support him but really just wanting to see a fight until they clear up all the questions people have no right to ask. This is why most people just dissapear, YN learned that lesson now, he tried to give the people what they wanted, not realizing that just because you give people what they want doesn’t mean they’ll like or appreciate it
Honestly, I’d be a little sad if Suzuki ends production of the little V-Twin. However, to replace it with a, cheaper to produce, parallel twin, seems like a very Suzuki move! I’m always interested to see new bikes, but I think this one will be a little sad if it results in losing that little Suzuki V-twin motor.
The SV650 today is not selling like the MT 07 or the Z650. I personally prefer the V twin engine over the parallel twin. However, Suzuki needs to do something new.
Good point. I imagine emissions regulations have a hand this too, otherwise Suzuki would just keep cranking out the 650 V twin. Another thought is that one of the biggest competitors to the SV are used SV’s. One bike that I’m interested in buying within the next year is the VStrom. But again, the same principle applies. I’ll likely buy this used as opposed to brand new.
@@kimw200blaze4 People keep saying it was the V-Twin but also forgot that people today don't care about Trellis frame anymore. In fact, I heard a new rider friend think the aesthetic as dinosaur and antiquated. Even the new Ducati ditched the iconic truss construction in favor of new lightweight and sleeker subframe form. MT series really kicked everyone ass.
IMO, all parallel twins are soulless compromised. Even the cross plane twins people seem to like. The great part of the SV was bringing a premium engine configuration to the mass market. If they give that up, the replacement needs to be the best at everything or absurdly cheap. I'm not sure Suzuki has it in them to go more premium than Aprilia or lower margin than Enfield. It will likely be another commuting machine for SE Asia not intended to appeal to North America.
The SV650 will never be replaced in my opinion. It is such a unique and special bike. At track days, you see so many people on SV650's. Many people would wonder what is so special about them, but they obviously something to appeal to many people. It is just such a versatile bike and I think it would be really difficult to achieve the same level of interest from so many different riders.
Glad to see you're putting videos out. I've read that is the key to a successful channel, "lots of videos". T-shirts, Amazon store, links with discounts to sponsored products, and building a great community will lead to your success. Good luck, we are rooting for you.
TBH I am happy about all and any newly developed bikes/motors from Suzuki. I feared they would stop producing motorcycles in the near future. Although i got a XSR900 in August (so i have to simp for Yamaha now^^) competition is good for the market. We need Suzuki to keep making bikes. :)
I've been researching the SV650 this week while also following Spite's channel growth with absolute joy........................and this video is just released! I know the algorithm is mighty, but wow!! Congrats Spite. Your rapid channel growth shows that your audience believes in you!
I think the main thing that will determine the success of this successor (if that is indeed what it is) will be if the aftermarket steps up. SV650 has always been like the Honda Prelude is to 4 wheels for me... a reliable and capable foundation vehicle with an endless aftermarket to make it your own.
Love your content spite, you were one of the people that inspired me to ride, and bought an MT 07 almost 3 years ago. I remember when you first went on camera on YN, to me you were 70% of what made the channel fun. Hope you will grow to where you can get bikes and giveaways. Your fan from Lebanon 🇱🇧 (if you know where that is) 😂
Well well well... 51k subs. And you were pushing for 20 In a year. Well done Man. Keep up the good work.. You are going to grow so fast. 100k by the end of next month worst case
I think you’re right about it replacing the GSX-S750. That bike has already been discontinued in many markets and been replaced with the GSX-S950, which really is just a GSX-S1000 gimped to 94 hp to make it A2 compliant. So they have an empty spot in their lineup.
Yeah it came about right when I got my A2 license and checked the weight and stats. Its literally just a uninspired lump of 220kgs without any top end power. The V2 Sv650 and V-strom are a much better choice for A2 compliance
Oh! Yes! Imagine a Katana styled naked P900. That would be unique and at a more practical price and size. Would differentiate Suzuki from the others in that field.
Just became one of your Patreon patrons. Not gonna say anything negative about you know who, just gonna say I'm glad you're on your own now. You're gonna do great!
Back when I owned an MT-07 I was thinking: "The adapted crankshaft is a great concept of emulating the character and sound of a V2 with so much benefits and without any drawbacks." - which is not entirely true and not the whole story. Technically it is possible to nearly perfectly balance a 90° V2 with a counterweight at the crankshaft, which weights exactly as much as one rod and one piston combined. You cant simply do that with a Crossplane Inline 2. When I got my hands on a SFV650 I understood why Suzuki was sticking to the V2 for so long. This engine runs so much smoother and feels so much more precise at the throttle. There are way less load change reactions and it feels entirely less of a "hooligan" and more of a mature bike. It is totally understandable that they have to lower the cost and drop the V2 as well as the tubular frame and go with the flow. Makes me sad, but as these machines are sturdy as hell it may be possible to keep one of these forever.
@Forrest dumb, Having owned both I agree with your comments on balance and throttle feel. However there is something about the way Yamaha have setup their balance shaft on the CP2 which gives it that throbby, slightly raucous feel which is utterly addictive. It's just enough vibes to give it character without being tiring in any way. I guess that's why a lot of us love them.
@@astrostrotch I loved that rough punch too. Amazing bike and I would kept my beatiful MT07 forever, if it wasnt totaled in a crash. Luckily it was not my fault so it was compensated by the insurance. In my Region the prices for the MT07 where exploding due to the Hype at this time. An used MT07 from 2015 where around 7k and new ones only available with waiting a year. Had a look for alternatives and started testriding the whole class. The SV650 totally floated my boat and the SFV650 Gladius is essentially the same bike but crazy cheap for being beaten with the ugly stick. Got one from 2015 with 8k miles and warranty for 3.5k and put another 500 in it to fix stuff that I didnt liked about it. Still miss the MT07 from time to time, but I am absolutely fine with my beloved Gladius and see a lot of pros at this bike too.
Love your content Spite! You were half of Yams channel no matter what and despite my opinions on the matter, which I believe is BS I’m 100% going to support your channel and not so much the other lol. Keep up the good work brother and you will succeed beyond your expectations.
I have a 2017sv 650, love it. This is all a numbers game. It's cheaper for them to share newer engines. I am sure emissions also came into play as well. It would make sense if the 2023 will be the last V-twin SV, or else these two would compete and it wouldn't make sense.
@@weed46 I'm not smart enough to answer that, but I guarantee you it plays a part with the ever-constricting emission standards. Maybe the new parallel twin engine is more fuel efficient? So it just makes sense sharing the same powerplant between some models.
Keep this stuff up my man… absolutely love that you have your own channel… or shall I say corner 😅… keep your head up high and walk tall my man cause you doing an amazing job. God Bless You
I’m going to upgrade from my SV650X. I’m looking at the MT09 SP but I’ll keep an eye out on what Suzuki does. Keep us posted Spite! You will be my go to guy for this information.
Spite, I used to think that I disliked the videos you did with the other channel. Turns out it was just because I was conditioned to expect one thing, and they were so polar opposite of the other content on there. Digging what you’re doing here, and wishing you the best of luck with the channel. Excited to see more!
Oh how i wish for Kawasaki to switch to 270 crank and upside down forks so we can finally have a good looking bike that also feels and sounds modern in the mid size category from Kawi.
so glad youre putting out content! its rough that things went the way they did recently, but im honestly excited to see your stand alone content done the way you want it to be. keep it up. we got you.
He thought he could probably do it by the end of the year. When he said that, I literally laughed out loud. I knew he'd have it in a month. I'm half-expecting 100k by the new year.
Hey Spite, you should do reviews for your bikes on your new channel! Also, I'm in Houston, but I'd be down to go to Austin and let you review my 22 XSR900, that'll probably be an awesome vid to kickstart this channel!
I've always enjoyed your perspective on things. I think you do a very good job of putting your thoughts together and conveying them in a condensed manner so that each video is not 30 minutes long. You bring up a lot of good points and I would also be excited to see this MT07 and MT09 competitor in the market.
I totally think you’ve got a good perspective on this. That said, I think Suzuki will keep the GSXR-750 because of what is happening in the Super Sport racing. So my take is these will be sold under the Katana line, and like KTM they’ll spin off an adventure version of each.
Really excited for the *true* middleweight naked category to maybe get another bike, been wanting to upgrade from my ninja 400 but don’t want some 900 i4 so I’ve been leaning towards the MT07, might have to keep an eye on the boys at Suzuki tho 👀
I've been eyeing the mt07 as well, my neighbor had one and I was thoroughly impressed. I'm currently on a cruiser and want something sporty for ripping around on day trips.
Hi Spite, thought I would give you some encouragement for keeping your head up with all the YN bullshit. My opinion is that because of your presence YN became a more mature channel and you gave us more more mature content instead of the 18 year olds content. Thanks and keep uploading quality content. Quality above quantity
I just hope either the replacement keeps the classic Sv650 styling or the Sv650 stays in production. Honestly, I just purchased a 2022 GSXS750, and Suzuki styling needs work. Unfortunately, I fear they may push more horrible styling throughout their line-up. The new Katana is nice tho.
Digging it man. I feel like your bread and butter is motorcycle news for motorcycle riders. Not just the top 10% of track boys of squids. Good vids for the rest of us. I hope you keep it up!
I would love to see an update for the SV650. Firstly, Suzuki's lineup is very ancient at this point, and most other manufactures outshine Suzuki by miles. Secondly, because Suzuki makes bikes with a ton of bang for buck. So would love to see a new updated SV650/750 that could once again rival the MT07 and possibly the new Honda Hornet.
SVs are like sportsters. They reach a minimum base price and then stay there forever no matter what. They're gonna be around in the second hand market forever
I really love the way you present material and you are an amazing soul. I watched more of the last channel to watch your take on things then the other person with no soul. God Bless You for staying in the game.
I decided to check out your channel, I am glad to see its not an all-Harley channel which was what I thought you might be planning on, so I am subbed. Keep it up, and glad to see your off to a robust start.
I like the presentation of the information and the pictures. This is a good way for me to keep up to date on what's going on in the motorcycle industry.
Good to see the channel is growing Spite. Considering the million subs yammie had, you should be killing it in no time when they all come over. Following from Australia as I haven’t found any local content to follow yet.
Jake we got to get a video from you or YN, probably both, to put this whole clan war to rest. Everyone thinks yam stabbed you in the back and you are now “struggling to keep the lights on” and that yam didn’t even offer you a lesser position etc etc etc because people are idiots and stuck at interpreting all the chest clues you gave us all, so they think you hate each other now, and if you don’t address it every single comment for ages will be about that situation so let’s please find a way to shut the peanut gallery up I apologize on behalf of all the idiots that don’t use their head and insist on mentioning extraneous things in their comments to your video. Solid video. Thanks
Love hearing your thoughts on the industry Spite! I think some graphics thought the vid the that kind of build on each other to help the viewer follow where you are going. Could be a series where you talk about new models (Honda transalp would be great!) Or just market segments in general. Keep killing it bud!

50k subs the goal by next gear. Achieved in under 2 weeks. We love Spite, and wanna stick by you!

Get fired from?

Hell yeah Spite! Glad to see that you’re really shining since leaving your former employer ! Congrats on 50k subs!
We should all report Y a m m i e ‘ s latest video for hateful or abusive content After all he is hateful and abusive to his employees.
I forced Yammienoob to ban me so I can 100% simp Spite 100% of the time.

Good choice, YN will not be the same without him. I unfollowed there as well.

In my Region the prices for the MT07 where exploding due to the Hype at this time. An used MT07 from 2015 where around 7k and new ones only available with waiting a year. Had a look for alternatives and started testriding the whole class.
The SV650 totally floated my boat and the SFV650 Gladius is essentially the same bike but crazy cheap for being beaten with the ugly stick.
Got one from 2015 with 8k miles and warranty for 3.5k and put another 500 in it to fix stuff that I didnt liked about it.
Still miss the MT07 from time to time, but I am absolutely fine with my beloved Gladius and see a lot of pros at this bike too.
Being able to look away for a moment, tune in, and it still be on track is a blessing. Phenomal job as always, much love Spite. To many more 🙏🏼
Keep going Spite! This is going to be a blessing in disguise!
Yea, 27+ year old men out grows that goofy meme stuff, we just want to chill and listen to actual bike facts…
Love your content Spite! You were half of Yams channel no matter what and despite my opinions on the matter, which I believe is BS I’m 100% going to support your channel and not so much the other lol. Keep up the good work brother and you will succeed beyond your expectations.
I really hope it's Suzuki's version of the MT07/09. I don't even care that the V-twin is ending, I just want to see a pulse from Suzuki.
0:50 what a picturesque view, that cloud is beautiful
Another awesome video man. Thanks for the content 🙏
Spite just leveled up with the Patreon and the quick video post. This future is bright ✌✌
Loving the reviews man!
Over 50K subscribers, just like that. You deserve it dude now go forth and be fruitful. We´re with you.
Exciting times. Can't wait to see what Suzuki will surprise us with. And Spite, congrats on your channel :)
Patreon +1, my man. Just bikes and no B.S. Glad to be a part of this with you!
I have a 2017sv 650, love it. This is all a numbers game. It's cheaper for them to share newer engines. I am sure emissions also came into play as well.
It would make sense if the 2023 will be the last V-twin SV, or else these two would compete and it wouldn't make sense.
Why would emissions change from a vtwin to a parallel?
@@weed46 I'm not smart enough to answer that, but I guarantee you it plays a part with the ever-constricting emission standards. Maybe the new parallel twin engine is more fuel efficient? So it just makes sense sharing the same powerplant between some models.
This is the content I thought I had signed up for elsewhere but only got 10% of the time...
Long may she run!
😎👍
Keep this stuff up my man… absolutely love that you have your own channel… or shall I say corner 😅… keep your head up high and walk tall my man cause you doing an amazing job. God Bless You
I've been checking your channel everyday. So glad you uploaded. Let the journey begin Spite. You've got so much support to make this work!
I’m going to upgrade from my SV650X. I’m looking at the MT09 SP but I’ll keep an eye out on what Suzuki does. Keep us posted Spite! You will be my go to guy for this information.
Ths XSR 900 looks better IMO. Black on black. Already with stock side mirrors.
Spite, I used to think that I disliked the videos you did with the other channel. Turns out it was just because I was conditioned to expect one thing, and they were so polar opposite of the other content on there. Digging what you’re doing here, and wishing you the best of luck with the channel. Excited to see more!
Oh how i wish for Kawasaki to switch to 270 crank and upside down forks so we can finally have a good looking bike that also feels and sounds modern in the mid size category from Kawi.
ABSOLUTELY!
And make a reasonable tail section that isn’t at shoulder level ffs the Z900 tail is WAYYYYYY TOOO HHHHIIIGGGHHHH
so glad youre putting out content! its rough that things went the way they did recently, but im honestly excited to see your stand alone content done the way you want it to be. keep it up. we got you.
Man 50k subcriber in a week😂🤩
He thought he could probably do it by the end of the year. When he said that, I literally laughed out loud. I knew he'd have it in a month. I'm half-expecting 100k by the new year.
@@elickes you right man
You were the reason I watched YN and listened to the yamcast. Happy to support your channel. Keep it up.
Hey Spite, you should do reviews for your bikes on your new channel! Also, I'm in Houston, but I'd be down to go to Austin and let you review my 22 XSR900, that'll probably be an awesome vid to kickstart this channel!
I'm going to try and film with an MT09 SP this week, stay tuned
@@spitescorner Sick! Can't wait to see that!
@@spitescorner Also, that might be a dope bike to do a comparison with the '22 XSR900, just sayin!
Awesome video Spite! Keep them coming!
Time to show love in the comments!
Better reviews, better personality. Spite is a fella I’d ride with all day any day.
I've always enjoyed your perspective on things. I think you do a very good job of putting your thoughts together and conveying them in a condensed manner so that each video is not 30 minutes long. You bring up a lot of good points and I would also be excited to see this MT07 and MT09 competitor in the market.
Who else would love to see Spite and Lemmy, formerly from Revzilla, team up?? Podcast or moto-vlog, make it happen!!!
Yes! This 👆🏼
Like the sound off this
lets get to 100K people, really digging the awesome content you are putting out man, You got this
Love the format, just need more sweet braps during this vid
Might need to get a pipe for the KLR... All the noise comes from piston slap and the valve train lol
Greets from Botswana. This is what you should be doing Spite. Love the style, love the no-BS content. Keep on keeping on brother!
I totally think you’ve got a good perspective on this. That said, I think Suzuki will keep the GSXR-750 because of what is happening in the Super Sport racing. So my take is these will be sold under the Katana line, and like KTM they’ll spin off an adventure version of each.
Hey Spite. Discovering your new channel made my week. Love your content and the way you communicate. Greetings from Spain!
Really excited for the *true* middleweight naked category to maybe get another bike, been wanting to upgrade from my ninja 400 but don’t want some 900 i4 so I’ve been leaning towards the MT07, might have to keep an eye on the boys at Suzuki tho 👀
I've been eyeing the mt07 as well, my neighbor had one and I was thoroughly impressed. I'm currently on a cruiser and want something sporty for ripping around on day trips.
MT 07 would be a great upgrade from the 400 👍
I like your ride and discuss here and also perfect length Vlog. Really glad for you over 50,000 subscribers in like 1 week. Awesome.
Hi Spite, thought I would give you some encouragement for keeping your head up with all the YN bullshit. My opinion is that because of your presence YN became a more mature channel and you gave us more more mature content instead of the 18 year olds content. Thanks and keep uploading quality content. Quality above quantity
amen
Glad you got your own channel. Happy for you. Start getting your merch up so I can support you more.
I just hope either the replacement keeps the classic Sv650 styling or the Sv650 stays in production. Honestly, I just purchased a 2022 GSXS750, and Suzuki styling needs work. Unfortunately, I fear they may push more horrible styling throughout their line-up. The new Katana is nice tho.
Digging it man. I feel like your bread and butter is motorcycle news for motorcycle riders. Not just the top 10% of track boys of squids. Good vids for the rest of us.
I hope you keep it up!
I would love to see an update for the SV650. Firstly, Suzuki's lineup is very ancient at this point, and most other manufactures outshine Suzuki by miles. Secondly, because Suzuki makes bikes with a ton of bang for buck. So would love to see a new updated SV650/750 that could once again rival the MT07 and possibly the new Honda Hornet.
Manufacturers have to make an engine that serves multiple platforms..$$$$$... they have to
Spite! Bruh. I leave for 5 seconds and you done blew the eff up. Congrats mate. Keep riding forward. Good things are coming.
Honestly the sv is just too good
I hope your Channel really takes off my man you really deserve well over a million subs
SVs should retain their value into the future. Love the channel Spite!
SVs are like sportsters. They reach a minimum base price and then stay there forever no matter what. They're gonna be around in the second hand market forever
I usually don't like and share vids. But you deserve it bro , fan for life
You have hit next years sub goal already! Keep it up!
All thanks to you all! 😃
Congrats on passing 50k subs! Keep em coming!
Really enjoyed this one Spite. Felt familiar and it was good to hear your voice my man. Keep up the great work.
Congrats at getting over 50,000 Subs! Nice to see that your fans are following you from the old location
This channel is going places for sure! Enjoyed this so much! Keep up the good work!
Congrats to Spite on 50k! 🥳
Congrats on 50k spite! Keep climbing
YES SPITE. Keep it up buddy we've got your back. So keen for your content! 🤙🤙🤙🤙
I really love the way you present material and you are an amazing soul. I watched more of the last channel to watch your take on things then the other person with no soul. God Bless You for staying in the game.
Hey Spite! Glad you made the content. You are going to grow, we are going to make sure of it.
Click baited from seeing my SV650 on the thumbnail. Subscribed as soon as I see spite on the screen!
Just subbed. Happy to come along for the ride!
SV650S was my 1st bike as an adult. 2001 model. Very good ride to learn on and push through to more advanced riding. Loved it
I decided to check out your channel, I am glad to see its not an all-Harley channel which was what I thought you might be planning on, so I am subbed. Keep it up, and glad to see your off to a robust start.
Glad I found my way to Spite's corner! I'd love to see an updated DR 650! I really want something that can rival the T7!
I like the presentation of the information and the pictures. This is a good way for me to keep up to date on what's going on in the motorcycle industry.
Good to see the channel is growing Spite. Considering the million subs yammie had, you should be killing it in no time when they all come over. Following from Australia as I haven’t found any local content to follow yet.
Wow! Your number of subs exploded! From 12k to 50k in just a few days! Congrats Spite!
These look sweet. Hopefully we get more details soon-ish! Thanks for the great video!
Go Spite go! 50.000 subscribers!! Excellent. Cheers mate!
So happy your channel is taking off love it.
Keep up the hustle brother spite, let's push to the 100k milestone!
Jake we got to get a video from you or YN, probably both, to put this whole clan war to rest. Everyone thinks yam stabbed you in the back and you are now “struggling to keep the lights on” and that yam didn’t even offer you a lesser position etc etc etc because people are idiots and stuck at interpreting all the chest clues you gave us all, so they think you hate each other now, and if you don’t address it every single comment for ages will be about that situation so let’s please find a way to shut the peanut gallery up
I apologize on behalf of all the idiots that don’t use their head and insist on mentioning extraneous things in their comments to your video. Solid video. Thanks
no doubt
Love hearing your thoughts on the industry Spite! I think some graphics thought the vid the that kind of build on each other to help the viewer follow where you are going. Could be a series where you talk about new models (Honda transalp would be great!) Or just market segments in general. Keep killing it bud!
