I have rode many bikes in my 59 years. I always come back to the Suzuki. Reliable, fun and not expensive. I just bought a GSX-S750 and love it. Power to keep up with the pack. Handles great.

Yep, best bottom ends in the world. Suzuki has dominated drag racing with the GSXR1100/Bandit1200/Hayabusa engines because you can lay 200 hp on their stock cranks and engineered easy to build. Anything but boring.

Suzuki is as good as it gets. Shopping for a used bike requires choosing a Japanese brand. Thats all it takes, if it is good when you buy it, you take care of it. it will stay that way. Suzuki inline fours are top notch.

A police rider once told me the best bike you can have is the one you like. I have owned all the brands and ended up with three bikes which are Yamahas, they seem to tick all the boxes for my needs.

True, I use my '17 honda grom for deliveries, it's got 43k miles and counting. It has never given me any engine problems. Just been replacing worn out parts, back bearings, chain, tires, throttle and clutch cables, kickstand and the usual maintenance.

Appears to me you have a very narrow-minded vision of some of the manufacturers in terms of what they have accomplished with design and performance over the last 60 years. Suzuki has totally dominated drag racing for the last 40 years because of engineering superiority and design excellence. Boring? You obviously have never twisted the throttle of a Bandit 1200 with a simple jet kit and free breathing muffler...or a Hayabusa. They also dominated 24 hour endurance racing in the 80's, bullet-proof and fast. I've owned Kawasaki 750 turbo, Bandit 1200, Bandit 1250, hayabusa, and currently a mt09 sp and cb500x....just to mention a few. If any one brand is to be labelled boring it would be Honda, but I love Hondas too.

In my opinion the company that makes the best motorcycle is the company that makes the motorcycle you want to ride. Personally I ride a Harley, but I would love to ride them all.

Ride them All! I have reviewed a few of them here in sunny tropical Thailand 🇹🇭. Honda GROM 125 cc. Outstanding beginner bike for old persons like me. Johnny BikeSanooK! Born in 1949. This dinky 125 cc gave me the confidence to ride in Mega City BANGKOK. Thereafter BMW Motorrads, Suzukis, Triumphs, Harley-Davidsons, Ducatis. All of them built in Thailand. The most memorable RIDE? “Beeh Emm Veeh” as they say in old Europe. BMW R 18. The big dog. 1800 cc Boxer Engine Berlin Built Muscle Cruiser. Curb weight 345 kg.

Thanks for the video. I agree with you. There might be a "best bike" out there but overall Honda is the best for all those reasons. Huge company and they can afford to make a lot of bikes and experiment with new idea's. I own an older Yamaha VStar and very old Honda Rebel. Between the two, even with the Honda being much older, its the more reliable bike. It just works. :) Be safe out there.

Honda ftw. At the end of the day the engine is the heart of the machine - any machine. Honda is an engine company, not a car or motorcycle company. Even my mechanic on my Honda car said “the body will rust before your engine dies”.

I have to agree Honda make great reliable everything and has the biggest selection of different styles of motorcycles. I've owned a couple and liked them a lot. The best bike manufacturer is the one that makes the bike that fits you best. I love and still have my Yamaha FZ6 I bought new in 2007. It has been my constant bike that I've ridden 55k miles with no issues. I recently replaced it with a 2018 DR650 as my daily. Yes it's the same as they've made since 1996 😆. I wanted something with the old school feel that is easy to maintain and I could explore off road without getting a hernia picking up after dropping it. The Honda XR650 is to off road oriented for me to daily and KLR to heavy and road bias. I'm into low tech stuff and most bikes (or anything) are getting so much tech it takes away from the riding experience I'm looking for. One upcoming brand to watch out for is Royal Enfield. Not a huge selection like Honda, but the build quality and value is there and they focus on motorcycles only. It's a company that has a big enough demand to produce in mass quantities and makes real world usable bikes like Honda started out doing.

One thing Honda did and I think they made a mistake was discontinuing the st 1300 sport touring bike. Yamaha has the fjr 1300 and what a nice motorcycle. I did have a st 1300 long ago but like an idiot I sold it for a gl1800 and I don’t have that bike anymore. I bought a ultra limited touring bike in place of the goldwing because it has a slightly lower center of gravity and the seat height is lower. The last bike I bought a few months ago was that Yamaha fjr. I still have the Harley for longer trips and two up riding. You are right in that Honda makes a lot of quality bikes just none that I find interesting.

Without a doubt Honda is know for their reliability. They make lots of different style bikes. I just think they don't have much character and are kind of boring.

I own 3 Harleys, so I am kind of biased there. However, for the money, I have to agree about Honda. I personally liked the 250. That is what I took my MSF course on and it got me my endorsement. Cool, forgiving little bike. But now I have a Harley Heritage and a Harley Electra Glide Standard and a Harley CVO. Thanks for your great videos. I love riding along.

Great review & I totally agree with you but Honda started as a motorcycle company, that’s why they are the best. I would have like to have you rank BMW’s cause I think they make phenomenal machines. I adore my NC750x DCT & S1KRR Brentuned. My Honda is like a full sized scooter that gets +50 mpg & my Beemer is a widow maker having +200 whp.

I believe the best motorcycle,is what you like and what really fits your riding or life's commute, myself I've always liked Harley I started off with a little Honda twin star very reliable bike very good learning bike, but I jumped into the Harley world with the colors and definitely the sound their just like having an old hot rod.

In my limited experience, I agree on Honda.Have owned mowers, pressure washers, generators by them, then Monkey and a couple of Rebels. Reputation and reliability are the bomb. Ride safe.

I agree that *overall* Honda is the best brand with the most types to offer, reliability, affordability, etc. I own a Harley, a Yamaha, and a Honda. My favorite to ride is my Harley because it fits the type of riding I do most, though, the others are like specialized tools. Now, one of the next bikes I have my eye on is a Pan America Special. Seems like it’d be a good Swiss-army-knife of bikes (and fun too). There could possibly be others before it, but I most definitely see the Pan America in my future. That, and maybe an electric bike, but an e-bike may be further down the road, when they get better.

Owned a big Harley cruiser. Nice bike but just too damn heavy for around town. Have a Honda XR650L and just can’t bear to part with it. Reasonably cheap, light, tall (I’m tall) and pulls like a tractor. Also have a BMW GS and a KTM 1290 SAT. I love the “adventure tourers” but they’re definitely not cheap to fix or maintain.

I ride a Harley but any Japanese bike is the best for me. Why do I have a Harley you ask. Had a Honda and sold it for a Harley. Yup, I down graded, too late now. I’ll just have to love it.

I love my 96 Suzuki intruder vs1400 but Honda is a great manufacturer

I agree. I've had all of the big 4 products and in terms of quality, fit and finish, and reliability Honda wins. Honda does not always make the best in terms of features, or highest HP, but if you are buying for the purpose of keeping a long time (and almost always going to start and go) it's the Honda. The others do make good products, and sometimes like the KLR it's just a proven design that works (thus little change over the years). I do have to give Suzuki some love as their King Quads are great machines.

In addition to cruisers Harley also has the largest lineup of touring bikes of the 5 manufactures you mentioned. None of the other manufactures you mentioned make the variety of touring models as Harley does, 9 models. Honda has 2 models. Suzuki no longer sells a touring bike. Yamaha lists the FJR1300 as a touring bike, but it's actually a sport/touring model vice an actual big touring bike like the Goldwing or say the Road Glide. Kawasaki lists their 2 Vaquero models as cruisers when in fact they are touring bikes much in the same vane as the previously name Goldwing and Road Glide. In the last 47 years I've owned all of the Japanese brands, as well as KTM, BMW, Triumph and Harley. Other than having to replace a starter relay on one of my BMW's I had zero other issues with the 4 of that brand I've owned, and I still own one of them. I've had 2 Harleys, still have one, and have had zero issues of any sort with either of them. Also, zero issues with my KTM and Triumph. With my Japanese bikes I had a more issues, but nothing catastrophic. Surprisingly everything I've owned that wasn't Japanese have actually been my most reliable bikes. I've no loyalty to any specific brand. I find a bike that catches my eye, regardless of who's badge is on the tank, and I buy it. I ride it till I find something else that catches my eye then I shift it for something new. If they keep building them I'll keep buying them, it's all good and heaps of fun. Ride what you like and like what you ride.

Not only bikes, utv,atv and cars. Some of best dct transmission,Honda even do pretty good F1 engines.

No question that Honda makes absolute reliability, but truthfully, you can’t go wrong with any of the Japanese manufacturers. I’ve never been able to get excited about anything that Honda puts out. Never owned one… but I’ve never looked at one that made me look twice. And I don’t understand the automatic transmission. Fine as an option, but now they’re putting out bikes with only DCT. I think that’s a mistake. Maybe work flawlessly, but if I want an automatic, I’ll drive. And that’s only because Honda abandoned manuals in their cars, too.

I have to agree with you Honda is number one

I ride a 10-year-old Kawasaki Versys 650 on my daily commute. It's reliable, cheap to run and maintain. I'd love to upgrade to a GS or HD but I can't justify it.

Who makes the best bikes? Depends entirely what you’re looking for. I love scooters too, so I think YAMAHA makes the best variety of bikes. But for big bikes, I’ve been super happy with my Harley’s. Looking at another in fact. Ducati (which I ride now) 3rd Honda would be 4th for me (good variety, they just doesn’t tickle my pickle at all) Then Suzuki (less variety, but V-Strom is a heck of a bike and so is the SV-650) Last Kawasaki (lack of variety)

My opinion is i have owned all brands Honda always best quality then Yamaha then Suzuki then the others

I would expect Honda to be No one. Recently I have seen Royal Enfield in the Mix

Honda hands down is the best motorcycle in the world.

I am guessing Honda :). I am on the 55th second of the 1st minute

Had 19 moto, and Honda did start every morning .

Even though I own many bikes of all types I am mainly a super sports bike guy. So in 2021 when I was in the market for a brand new bike it came down to the Honda CBR RRR thing or the BMW S1000RR m package. For me though the BMW never really had anything to worry about when it came to parting with my money so I bought it. The Honda got some very poor reviews - mainly poor low end grunt and in many of the group review video's the bike broke down and it was a few thousand euro's more expensive than the BMW. Honda's to me are like Suzuki's are to you - just too mainstream to be interesting and at least with the new CBR the reliability or competence was questionable - so of the 6 bikes I own there is not one Honda among them.

If largest selection is the measure, Honda wins. Personally, I only have a couple bikes. I select a bike based on what bike I think will provide me the best performance in my area of interest.

As a Suzuki guy I disagree 🙂 but frankly, I'm looking at CCC class only (I'm really not into sports / nakeds / touring bikes / dirt bikes / scooters etc..). Admitteldy, in the EU, Honda and Yamaha bikes have (or at least had) very strong brand presence and definitely a very strong brand recognition - and if I recall correctly, they still are #1 and #2 in the amount of models they ever put out. Not bad.. Not bad at all.

Honda definitely makes the best motorcycles. Unfortunately, it's very hard to buy said motorcycles. I looked for months for a CB500X before I finally gave up. I put down a deposit for an NC750X and it never arrived. I waited months for the arrival that was "only a few weeks away" and it never actually arrived. I cancelled my order and got a Kawasaki z400. At this point, I still want an NC750X, but I still can't find one. I guess I'll just have to drop a deposit and pick it up in 6 months to one year afterwards. I've also considered the Honda Shadow, but I've never seen the newer models in a showroom in my whole time riding two years. I don't like how the Rebel 1100 feels. My legs feel like they're up in my chest. It's also too aggressive of a seating position for my style. Sadly, the Rebel 1100 is the one Honda motorcycle I see readily available.

I ride Harley's and a Honda .47 years by the Grace of God. IMO Nothing looks or sounds like a Harley. BUT if you want absolute reliability and performance then Honda is number 1 followed very closely by Yamaha.

Suzuki m109r is not boring - also I guess the Hayabusa?

The worst thing about all bike manufacturers is maintenance. I can take any car to any tire shop. You can't take any bike to any dealer for tires. Why do motorcycle maintenance shops close sundays and mondays? How about hire two crews and take 3 day weekends in the winter.

In my 58 years I’ve had many motorcycles, I’ve had dirt bikes and street bikes and I have to say that I liked Honda dirt bikes the best and I always liked Yamaha street bikes the best

Honda severly lack more mid range sporty cruisers. There should be a REBEL 800 and they should put a bigger engine into the 1100 so it would ACTUALLY BE 1100cc.

It’s interesting how your opinion differs from across the pond… 😜None of those bikes you named to judge a manufacturer by, even considered by most of European public! 🙂 Where all Naked and Sport Bikes, or Sport tourers??? 😮😅 If you throw them into mix, then you look on Suzuki differently!

A 500 is a nice city bike but not heading over the mountains on one, no thanks.

NOT Suzuki, they have become a paint and decal applicator, only changing color and bold new graphics for the past 20+ years giving us the same tired and obsolete DR650, DRZ400’s, kick start only vintage motocross machines. The fat and heavy Vstroms, conventional forks on their latest gen3 Vstrom 650 when the Vstrom 1000 gets USD adjustable forks? A 500 pound Vstrom 800 🐽 is the newest pig in their pen.

There is zero advantage to the rider, to have a manufacturer that covers the whole range of motorcycles, from the smallest to the largest. That’s just an attempt by the company to capture market share. It has nothing to do with the “best motorcycles,” at all!

Yeah, it's Honda. Like riding a sewing machine. A reliable, quiet, sewing machine. But I believe Yamaha is next in line. After that, Kawasaki, and then Suzuki. Harley? It's primarily an American brand, for American customers...and they aren't that great.

Dude you are on crack. Honda is good, but they are overpriced and dont have as many models as you think. It appears they use the same model in several categories, with very limited colors and options. Kawasaki to me is the value leader with love it or hate it designs but are reliable and cost effective. The whole thing is subjective.

Every Harley dealership I walked into I saw gangsters and/or thugs working there sold my Harley, never again

Only 4. All Made in Japan. End of story.

Japan has lost its ability to build high quality, reasonably priced goods, so they use factories in Thailand and other SE Asia countries. Take a look at Chinese motorcycle company Zontes, excellent quality and low price. Many BMW bikes have Zontes engines and components. Sure, Zontes does not have same brand value as Honda, Suzuki. But times are a-changing. There was a time, maybe back in 1960's when Japanese bikes were viewed with many a jaundiced eye..
