Here's a point of view. Cars make more "sense" than motorcycles. When you choose to ride, you sort of say...hey! Life is not always about making sense. Sure, there are horses for courses, but most people will have one motorcycle, well, at least one at a time. So I'd always say go with what you feel, it doesn't need to make sense, most things in life, much like motorcycles seldom do. By the way, this is a great channel, and I absolutely love it!

I have to disagree with your idea that cars make more sense. It depends on context. In a congested city, motorcycles are arguably better. In third world countries where people don't have money, motorcycles are much cheaper to own, maintenance is cheap and gas mileage is much better. In some cases, people don't have good parking where they commute and a motorcycle makes sense there. For me, a motorcycle absolutely makes sense

The ergonomics is part of the whole comparison between a naked and a super sport bike. So that already throws 50% of the comparison out the window.

I own a 2019 CBR 600rr and my friend has a Yamaha MT-09, we traded bikes for a bit and holy shit the comfort on the MT was astounding and the instant torque at almost any RPM blew my mind. I don’t regret getting my CBR at all but for higher speeds the MT is a chore to drive I felt like I was getting pushed backwards out of the seat when going 100+ or high wind blasts. Both has pros and cons but getting a naked does make more sense for daily commuting and joyrides than supersports

Fancy seeing you here tigerr

Very interesting ! I used to own a mt03, I now own that same vfr 800, and you are right : I bought it because I spent 3 years fantasizing like crazy about this bike. Being 6'6 it is too cramped for my knees, not that confortable for highway but... Hell, I love it. I learned to ride it to the limit of what's sensible on the road, I feel connected to it, I smile every time I see it in my garage or parked outside. I do love the looks, love riding it, and even though there were way more "suitable" choices I don't regret getting it at all. I think my next bike will be a ktm 1290 super adv S, because I want to give a try to something ment for my size, see if sensible but still fun is what I need in my life. Get the bike you want, spend all your money, it is worth it !!

I ride a 2002 R1, and I personally like the leaning forward riding position, even around town. On my old FZR600 I actually dropped the bars down under the top yoke (triple tree), rather than above as standard. I find I rest very little weight on my wrists, as I hold on to the tank with my legs. And as soon as you get any speed up, you can just lean on the wind. What I'd really like to see is a return to 1970's race style fairings, with their "big bubble" type screens. I used to have a TZ fairing on my 350LC, and when you got tucked in behind it, you were almost completely out of the airflow. But at the end of the day neither style is "better", it's just about what suits you, and your personal preferences.

What I would love to see is a comparison between the various bikes that have the same engine but different styles ie all the various Kawasaki's that have the 650 twin engine, Ninja, Vulcan S, Versys etc

I am glad that this channel addresses many questions/issues faced by motorcycle riders. This is one example in this video. Which is very useful, thats why I like this video/channel. So thank you for that. And I will try to contribute by buying sponsored products to support.

But when it comes what gives me the "fizz" as James May would say lol nothing compares to a sportbike at 12,000RPM, the sound and rush of a screaming inline 4 at that RPM is nothing short of a religious experience.

Great video guys. This was one of the big questions in my mind a lot!

Helpful stuff guys, thank you. I do appreciate the yin & yang you two guys offer.

I enjoyed the video. The terrain and highways look a lot like Arkansas. I agree with all discussion points. I think the advantage of a fully faired bike is with extended speeds over 70 mph. A well designed fairing can stabilize the bike and protect you some from the elements. It depends on how comfortable you want to be on long hauls.

I own a 1999 VFR and test rode a Street Triple recently, and above 70mph, the 20 year old Honda it’s way way better, comfort wise; even with the lower bars! In the rain, if you tuck in a little, it’s amazing how you don’t get wet, like you do on a naked or even on a ADV like a VStrom. I speak from experience, having owned a 600 Bandit and a 650 VStrom.

@timothycoyne5874

I had a 6th gen VFR for many years, and now ride a naked bike. The wind isn’t too much of an issue for me (I do have a flyscreen on it which takes some of the wind blast off my chest at 70+ mph), but you’re absolutely right about rain. On the VFR in a very light rain I could tuck in and down and only my knees and shoulders and maybe elbows would get wet. There is zero weather protection on a naked bike. Any rain at all and I get soaked. That being said, I love how much easier it is to work on my new bike. No more carefully removing fairings to do oil changes, etc. Much easier to move around the garage or driveway, too. I loved my VFR, but I don’t miss it too much.

I've had my FZ 07 for over a year now and while I love the naked standard riding position 95% of the time, I can't help but feel the longing to have a more rear set foot position when tucked on the freeway doing over 100 mph (in Mexico). I feel like the middle participant of an Eiffel Tower, and it's about as comfortable as that sounds.

The interview with addition of memes are hysterical

Absolutely agree. A slight cross wind is very noticeable for a fully faired sportbike, especially at higher speeds. At first, I thought I'd be immune to that but apparently no.

See, as a soon-to-be 2-wheeler, nothing will stop me from getting an R7. Perfect balance for what I’m looking to get as a 30 y/o noob. I’ve been waiting to get a super sport-type bike since I was 17, and goddamnit, I’m getting it! 😂

Good vid, here in England the weather is a big factor to consider , having a fairing is a big help with the rain and it rains a lot I mean a hell of a lot so a fairing makes sense. I however have just changed from a retro scrambler to a hyper naked. Sports bikes make god sense here as well due to the very narrow and very twisty roads here some are hundreds of years old. I am riding a Zontes ZT125U it may only have 15hp but I can ride it pretty much full throttle all the time and with the roads I can ride its great fun and all the roundabouts I can use all the rubber. Its more fun to ride slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. Great channel, keep it up.

I went from a 6th gen. VFR 800 I'd owned for 14 years to a naked BMW a year ago. At first at 60 mph I could feel the wind blast on my chest. It wasn't bothersome and I got used to it quickly. Then I could feel it at 65, then at 70. I installed a Dart Classic flyscreen this summer to cut some of the wind blast at freeway speeds (mostly for when I do trips and have to slab it a while). It's kind of noticeable at 75 but still not a problem. The flyscreen helps at that speed, but even without it the wind blast isn't terrible. Ease of maintenance is so much better with the naked bike. I loved my VFR but I do not miss pulling the left fairing to do a simple oil change, something I did 2-3 times per year most years. One other big difference is how much easier it is to move the naked bike around, and to make u-turns. A higher, tubular handlebar and greater turn-to-steering-lock makes the naked bike much more maneuverable both on and off the bike. I do miss the weather protection of my VFR, including wind protection in colder temps, and the naked bike is much more of a pain to clean, but overall I think I really prefer the naked.

Sometimes the small screen just gets the wind off your chest, a slightly taller screen sends the wind strait into your head. And then a really tall screen you almost need to look through it and all the clean air is lost. I like a small screen just to break the wind. Can still tuck at points if you really need to.

lol thank you yam yams! keep up the videos. we all thank you. 🖒🖒

Naked bikes are goofy get a fully faired sports bike

How about the Ducati Supersport S -- Little sprinkle of spice from a naked (monster) on a sport bike with some fairings. Kinda Slaps !

Quick audio advice: slap on a high pass filter at 100hz on your vocal channels. There's a ton of rumble here in your new studio. It's fairly common but sensitive condenser mics tends to pick this up sometimes. It'll also confuse KZread into truncating the overall volume of your video even though at times this might be in the inaudible range (think 20hz).

Papa Yam ! I read "become a memer and win the bike for free" instead of "become a member..." and i think it's also true, you should use it in the next video 🤣

My main riding buddy an I have these same bikes (my vfr, his street triple) so this video was very interesting to watch.

Where you live also makes a difference - weather conditions make a big difference

when you're on the highway for over an hour, especially if it's not particularly warm out, then the fairings are real nice to have.

I commute on my bike about 40 minutes to work, I could do it just as well on the VFR. I have commuted on sportsbikes like a R1 as well as standards and cruisers. The one thing I can say about true clip on sportsbikes is low speed is tiring, also replacing the tires is way more often. Since on my off days I liked to have more grip to play. So softer tires wear quicker. I do like the mix of my new bike best, it's a FTR which is a twin, so the torque really makes low rpm, casual commute easy, yet it can get rowdy if I want it to.

Recently picked up a 2015 Daytona 675. I see why you're addicted

I have an MT 07 that has rearsets and lower bars, and I thought that was quite aggressive, until I sat on a 2008 CBR 600RR at a dealer... It amazed me how far back and up those rearsets were. Like I had to actually force my feet back, instead of just putting them back

Def want to give a both a sport bike & Naked bike this year. Thanks for the video

Commuting half an hour highway, then a bit of a shield is relaxing. And fairing also helps with avoiding some of the rain (and in the Netherlands it rains a lot). This is why half fairing is ideal, you can still access most, and don't have to take off everything. And a bit of fairing just looks better...

I'm just glad naked bikes have become more common because nobody asks why I "took the plastics off" my SV650 anymore. Used to happen all the time, I don't miss explaining what the SV is. I love ss bikes, I think they are amazing and I've ridden some really fun examples, but I have zero desire to own one myself. Maybe as a track bike, but for my daily rider I'll take a naked all day every day. I've had the SV for about 15 years and so far haven't found anything I like better that I am willing to pay for.

My 24K maintenance is coming due on my RT. Because of Covid, I have plenty of time to work on it, which that part is cool. Repairing the pannier latch , that's possibly another story.

subscribed, you just succesfully sold me a naked bike XD good vid dude big thumb up

Started on a gsxr 600 shifted to an mt09 loved it but hated having no fairing, am now on an r1 and never been happier

10:15 as a VFR owner myself, this is why you dont fuck up a perfectly good bike by adding a larger windscreen, had you not done that, the airflow over your helmet would be smooth as butter ;) The screen is there to alleviate pressure from your body/chest. Also you have to remove the left side lower faring for an oil change, that is it my man. Unless something changed from the 14 to the 16 i have, x doubt. Just gotta be a little finicky getting the filter in/out. Hardly "tear off your hair" levels of frustration involved in that.

That "omni-present wind blast" is definitely making itself known in Spite's Cardo

I have an older 2010 street triple, but I love the VFR, but they are not really comparable because of 1 reason that was not really mentioned but is so important with bikes... Weight.... The VFR has 104hp for 235kg ( wet weight) 0,44hp/kg The Street Triple has 116hp for 185kg (wet weight) 0,63hp/kg and it redlines well over 12500tr/min The street will be pushed from one ear to the other like a bicycle ( or like a super sport) and it will outaccelerate the VFR and leavy many heavy liter bikes behind in the twisties. ( not the hypersports of course) The VFR on the other hand will be the more comfortable travelling bike but less fun on twisty roads. Infact, The VFR may look like a supersport, but it really is a (sport)tourer. The Street triple R looks like a naked, but it really is very track oriented and based on the daytona . It is a supersport undone of it's fairings and clipons. most other brands ( honda, yamaha...) have nakeds that have the frame,suspension,engine,weight....designed to be a streetnaked, but the triumph is a bit different and really shares its genes with the daytona supersport, so it is really lightweight with a frame designed to be very able. It is so much fun. The VFR is still a beautiful bike with a fantastic history. It has been raced, but is way to heavy to be called "nimble". On the highway it is the better bike.

Let's not forget while fairings are a pain to remove and refit, they do help protect the bike in the way of preventing crud dirt water stones etc from hitting the engine and other parts thus keeping the bikes reliability a peg above a naked. Also help with aerodynamics which in turn helps keep a few quid in your wallet in the long run.

True, not so much a factor when you like Yammie basically never keep a bike long enough for things like this to matter tho :P

That sound of the V4 though, answer Tuono!
