  • Are you worried you're mispronouncing your favorite motorcycle brand? Or you don't give a rat's ass but you're nonetheless curious how it's pronounced in its native language? Or you're going to the EICMA 2019 and want to impress the beautiful hostesses there? Head this way.
    I'm lucky enough that I've studied a few of these languages, but for the ones I didn't I watched a lot of CZcams videos with native speakers pronouncing their national motorcycle brands and I asked my international friends and family for some help. Am I spot on? Probably not, but I think I came very close. Comment on what I'm mispronouncing.
    * I know some of the brands are not from the country I put them in, like Bullit (Belgium) and Brixton (Austria). In these cases it's their brand names that count - reading on their history, it's clear that their brand name is English.
    ** KYMCO and SYM are acronyms - I pronounce their full, non-abbreviated, names.

    In France YAMAHA is often pronounced "Yamaá" and it really annoys me

    Thanks for the pronunciations I couldn't pronounce half of them just got a Moto Guzzi trying to say it properly and also Royal Enfield is no longer English is considered an Indian motorcycle for a long time now

      As I explain in the video description it's not about the country where the bikes are built, it's about the language of origin of the brand name. Royal Enfield as a brand was born in the UK, so it has a British pronunciation.

But again, like I mention in the video description and as I also explained in another comment it's not about the country where the bikes are built, it's about the language of origin of the brand name. KTM as a brand was born in Austria, so it has a German pronunciation.
