As a former die-hard cruiser guy, the crusier scene is kind of divided into two camps. Some guys and gals want those tech-driven, real sleek bikes, while others want the old-school heritage bikes. Indian can facilitate both of those camps, while Harley really can't just yet. I think the Pan Am is cool, and I like the nightster more than the sportster s.

For a kid that had the spark for motorcycles grew on mid to late 1980's, the Cagiva Elephant 900 was one of the greatest "Dakar" bikes. Someone probably came with the idea of recreating it but Cagiva is so out of the radar it wouldn't catch. It was brilliant to use the Ducati brand power today to do it, and beautifully pay homage to the classic "Lucky Strike" paint scheme. Just awesome.

The Desert x is the best looking bike in the adventure crowd hands down. Just wish there was a worldwide support network.

Royal Enfield are certainly heading in the right direction.

Im a big Aprilia fan and was excited when the Taureg was release. I owned one for a short time. My only complaint would be the motor falling on it’s face, off-throttle. I felt like I had to keep the revs up all the time. Ive since gone to a Husqvarna 701 I built up into a rally type bike. Lots more fun.

Love your channel ! Like how you appreciate bikes beyond the retro classics too

I completely agree with you on the points about horsepower figures being focused way too much on. I own a 22 GSX-S1000 with "only" 150HP, and for anyone who has ever spooled up one of these bikes you quickly realize just how beyond overkill this thing is for the street. Once you've experienced this, it becomes completely laughable when people start talking about how 150HP is "not enough" in the streetfighter class because bikes like the V4 streetfighter exists. As if it makes ANY difference for a street/road rider! Even the MT-09 is totally overkill for the streets if you're planning to stay out of jail.

Or out of the graveyard.

It’s good to see Harley doing water cooled bikes again, even if it looks aren’t to everyone’s tastes. Metric cruisers have been water cooled for decades, allowing better power, longer life and improved emissions - so it makes sense to go that way. I actually really like the new Hornet. I assume everything is moving to parallel twins for a good reason. Reduced complexity and better torque lower down - but we will miss those inline 4s - that howl is definitely for the name Hornet.

Very much excited for Transalp 750!

I enjoy your mostly non-biased approach to motorcycles. It is a breath of fresh air. I am an old biker, my first was a Honda 90 Super Sport, then a Lambretta, 305 Hawk, Yamaha, Kawasaki on and on. I am wondering from a demographic point of view who has the most accidents. When a 19 year old can jump on a 160 HP bike as his first. I would assume that the majority of accidents in the US on motorcycles is in the age group of 18-30. I then contrast that thought to the UK with there mult-level motorcycle licensing and wonder how motorcycle accidents in the UK in the 18-30 year olds compairs to US. Maybe if you run out of things to do, you could research this. Just saying. Be happy, be safe

Hi Bart, great video, thanks a lot 👍🏻😀🏍

I currently have a crf250l rally as a first bike and I see myself moving towards a light or middleweight adventure bike in the future. I wouldn't mind a Tuareg if the closest dealer wasn't 4 hours away. I'll probably end up with a T7 or a built out 690 or 501 eventually.

I remember my local Norton dealership from the '70's. I owned an original paint 1931 BSA one lunger. BSA is trying to live in the past with the Goldstar, other motorcycles, too.

Thank you very much for the review!

I used to have a 92 GSF400 Bandit inline 4 with forks, triple clamps, clip-ons,& front wheel from a 1990 GSXR750 Slingshot and newer (in 1999/2000 lol) 6 piston Tokico calipers.

I can't agree on the CB750 being "such a high revving" bike, and therefore less fun on the street. Obviously, I didn't ride one yet (i had an MT07 Tracer though), but looking at the specs and characteristics of both engines, I don't see a world of difference: for peak bhp and torque is a mere 750 revs (9500 vs 8750 and 7250 vs 6500). On a subjective level, I actually like the slightly extended rev range (frankly, I wasn't blown away with the low rpm performance of my Tracer, but I did like the mid and high range very much), and the reviewers praised the Hornet for its punchy engine. I guess we will see :)

Appreciate and agree with your comments about the KTM Duke 790 as for the most part it seems to be an after thought if mentioned at all in most of the many on-line discussions about the Hornet/GSX 8S and the popular 650-800cc middle weight naked class.. Untested middle weight newcomers (Hornet/GSX 8S) should significantly up the class performance standards but in the end I think KTM's decision to reduce the standard Duke 890's displacement by 100cc and price by $1800 (US market) will end up giving us the best performance bang for the buck.

They're comfortable and don't have a clutch (great for when you're tired AF after work.) And they often have locking storage for moving cargo around. You can use a motorcycle as a commuter, but a scooter will always do it better, and it will handle weather a motorcycle can't.

I did a test ride comparison between the KTM 790 and the Triumph Street Triple R. I rejected the KTM as soon as I sat on it. I was looking for sharp edges that could harm me. The finish felt awful. In comparison, the Triumph was superbo. I bought neither. The gal who rode the Triumph ahead of me bought it. Quite right. Great bike with very few, in comparison, questions of reliability and after service. I've been to Shanghai, so will buy nothing that's made in China.

Oh and the reason you don't buy KTM is because their reliability is trash! Their design both visually and in terms of ergonomy, weight, engine etc is one of if not the best across multiple classes, but the reliability issue is just unacceptable.

I hope to see more E motorcycle. 😊

Why have motorcycles become so UGLY?? Most of what's coming out on the market looks like some sort of terrifyingly hideous insectoid xenomorph. Can we not get a modern, plain, street motorcycle with current technology that isn't self-consciously aping designs of the 1970s or earlier? At least the retro bikes actually look recognizably like *motorcycles*. The Honda Hornet looks like it could have been a great bike, if they'd given it a smaller, lighter, more manageable engine and a less bug-like look with less clutter. Nobody needs 90 bhp on the street. Tech-wise, it has all the right bones, but the styling is just horrendous. If we could just get something that sits somewhere between the simplicity of the Royal Enfield Continental GT650 and the modern technology of the Honda Hornet, that would be the sweet spot.
