Great Video as always Rob!! I bought the Trident after watching your videos and love it!! Can you use Cardo for recording audio for motovlogging too? If not I'm curious what your audio setup is... thanks 👍

You should check the QJ Motor SRV600V. It's very similar to a HD Sportster but way more affordable. Great to see the RE Shotgun ! It's probably gonna be my first "big" motorcycle (I'm currently on a 125cc).

This video will generate a lot of opinions. I'm not turned on my the mustard ketchup color of the XSR900R. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Stepping out of ones comfort zone, as far as style is concerned, takes some time and adjustments. The Hayabusa will always look like a Hayabusa, I guess. It seems, the world is turning in several directions at the same time, these days. The world of the traditionalist and the world of the new versions of what a motorcycle is. The look of two wheels turning in a straight line in the wind as though it is a different version of a fan blade. The rider has to determine how much punishment they are willing to take to go fast or just to look good. Sure you build a bike that does both and when you do, how long would it take for that machine to be out dated. Tweaking here and there just doesn't determine if a rider would trade up or not. I have a stable of bikes that make me feel comfortable for what they provide me when my moods changes. That perfect bike that captures every mood that you have is a daunting task. That's why I haven't found the perfect bike after 50 years of riding. Motorcycling is one of the most expensive hobby that person can have. I have spent.probably, $100k or more on bikes through out my life.

Without question if we are are looking aesthetics then the Triumph Rocket in black wins hands down. It looks ferocious. After that I love the KTM. Takes bike designs to new levels.

I use my kislux as a work bag and have had no issues at all. It’s a comfortable bag, fits a good amount and hadn’t lost its shape. With that being said, I also take care of all my bags and don’t carry a water bottle, pens, keys or an hing that can damage the interior.

if that's the best good lord help us

I love your choices... no complaints from me... I ride an FTR and to my eye the new 100percent version is just so so... I like the big wheeled Carbon S models of yore a bit better... much to my surprise i think I like the Yamaha semi naked the best of all the new bikes... but all of the bikes featured look phenomenal...

Think Suzuki did a far better job with the Katana retro naked than Yamaha with the XSR 900 GP

I picked up number 12, the 100% FTR the day it was released. Never loved a bike more in my life and I have owned a lot during my life. It’s gorgeous.

Hands down the Yamaha XSR900 GP with 3/4 fairing is the best looking bike of 2024. 👏😎

Wow. Some great looking bikes. Aprilia. Always pretty. That Yamaha is gorgeous. The Indian is sweet. And the look of the new Triumph Rocket is awesome. Now all I need is someone to buy one for me. Newest bike I have is 2012.

What about the rs457

Thruxton RS final edition beats them all. I know it isn't new for 2024 but there isn't a list for final editions. The blue carbon FTR is also spectacular in person.

I love it when the promo videos for a half-ton Harley Davidson is it powersliding and scraping in an urban environement/garage.. as if such thing would ever happen in real life, lol. These promo videos are adhd inducing in the way they are filmed anyway, for most bikes today.

If you havnt seen, benelli are planning to release the benelli tornado 402r in the first half of this years, a2 compliant and the bike is gorgeous. The bike is mewnt to be a direct competitor with the ninja 400 and is also a parallel tein

Aprilia RS457 - what a stunning looking beauty!

Great looking bike but you missed the new Triumph Trident special edition looks amazing. But on this list i pick the RE Shotgun 650. Lovely looking bike for a resonable price. Would like to see a testride from you on that bike. I wish Harly and Indian would sell more affordable bike. Their prices is like buying a helicopter for me. Redicilous. You can put BMW and Ducati on that list as well

All great looking bikes but for Suzuki the best looking one to me is the new GSX8R. As for the Harley CVO, I think the Indian Challenger Elite looks the best for that type of bike.

You need to be a hobbit to ride the BMWs. Nice looking though.

V7 Stone Corsa

I cannot agree with the pointy leading tank edge for the BMW R12. Ducati has done the same with their Scrambler as well. The Hypermotard is the best looking by my taste.

2024 Yamaha MT09sp is my fav!

That's the big dilemma most buyers, of any product, go through and commonly face the consequences for the poor choices: Buying mostly (or solely) on looks. Luckily, we have lots of good quality beautiful bikes in the market.

Can someone explain to me the hate for the KTM 1390 pls? Like I get that it doesn’t look like a conventional bike, but is that really all there is to aesthetics? I think it looks pretty interesting and kinda cool tbh. I’d be interested in other peoples opinions however

The new Harley Icon Hydra-glide is missing.

The XSR9 does look appealing. You said it one of the best handling for it class on the market. I'll be honest it's the worst bike, for handling I've ever driven.

How about weights?

older svartpilen models are superior I think they messed up the front, around the led panel, and little wind shield looks odd my personal favourite is the black one with yellow lines which was made around 2018-19, the early years of the model

It's time motorcycles got back to the basics, instead of trying to look like something from a "Transformers" movie ! These design quirks are not necessary, especially running lights that look like mandibles on an ant !

Personally, I think the new BMW 1300GS deserves a shout here, for starting to make ADV bikes look scifi and sleek, and moving away from the bird-beak look. The Ducati Multistrada, for example, is hideous with its massive flaring nostrils- it looks like Sam The Eagle got punched in the face. I'm hoping the 1300GS starts a trend for bikes going into 2025 that we can have more streamlined sleek sporty looking adventure touring bikes that still have plenty of ground clearance and mudguard protection.
