Strongly disagree on the versys 650. It is a very fun bike in the twisties, is an awesome commuter, comfortable for touring and i even did some dirt and gravel roads when i had mine. Just get a set of 80/20-70/30 tires a take it where you want. Has better suspension (specially at the front) than the vstrom, more ground clearance, less distance bewtween wheels which makes it more agile. Now against the 790-890 adventure, the price difference is way to big, there is no point in comparing them (for the record, i now own a 790 adv R).

People are forgetting that in (light) offroading there are only two important factors - tires and weight. Even a sport-tourer with the right tires can do light offroading (been there, done that). Normal "adventure bikes" are usually overpriced and overweight tarmac-touring machines with "adventure" styling. Truth be told, offroading on a 250 kg bike is nothing fun. Of course 790-890 belongs rather in dual-sport category, with is something more suited for offroading (and less for highway) ;-)

"Greatest bikes ever made" No, not by a long way, they were "Mediocre" at best, they were either "Bullet Proof" or "Shite" I do believe that they are remembered as being much better than they ever were, it's akin to watching that movie you loved as a kid, the best film ever, then when you get to see it again you realize just how shit it actually was. I have a few of "The Greatest bikes ever made" Suzuki GT750, RG500 (Gassed), Katana 750, GXSR750, Yamaha XS1100 & 650, RD250(air-cooled), RD500LC, FZR1000 "Genisis," Honda CB750 4, Fireblade, Kawasaki Z900. These are "Arguably" some of the most fun bikes ever made, imhho some of the "Greatest bikes ever made" while the CX500 holds a "Special Place" in the hearts of many "The Greatest" of anything it was not.& I owned & maintained a great many.

As someone who rode bikes for a living in the 1980s the CX500 was the go to despatch bike in London in those days. I too scoffed at them and used to call them the “plastic maggot” but after my first year they have my eternal respect. I would put on +/- 30,000 miles a year on them. Maneuverable in town and good enough for a steady 85 on the motorway. They were fugly enough for people not to want to steal them.

Agreed the Honda CX500A and CX500B weren't pretty but still did a good job. The CX500 Eurosport was a big improvement and I got one second hand fully equipped with Trident fairing, top box and panniers and only 9,000 miles! Got 115,000 miles out of it before a SMIDSY got me, yeah, dayglo equipped, bright white, full fairing with twin spotlights!!!..... sorry mate? ? Courier for many years covering at least 90,000 miles a year, using Honda CX500B, and CX500EC which never caused me any real problems up to about 80,000 miles. Never had a cam chain tensioner go on me ( more of a CX500A problem.) but usually had to replace the rear wheel drive socket or shaft bezel at those mileages and occasionally a generator (engine drop down job!!) but after 120,000 they were worn out anyway. Fantastic size bike for a courier capable of lunch hour servicing and plenty of cheap spare parts if required. Don't ever recall worrying about the back end moving about and just loved shaft drive where available using multiple Honda CX500, Kawasaki GT550, GT750, Suzuki GS850G all shaft. Never bothered what the bike looked like either just so long as it did the job with fairings and handlebar muffs as well. No point in being 300 miles from home at 2.00am and thinking how COOL you look if you are freezing your butt off and can't feel your fingers or toes! Happy days! 🤯😬

The styling was dated but in the white and blue livery I had it wasn't bad at all. For the £3500 I paid for a less than year old model it was also good value.

Another channel on KZread that isn't just some turd saying "I don't like this bike". There's really not much info here, just opinion... and not much self reflection either.

Scr950 air cleaners are fun too. It sticks out 6'' past the tank right in the way of your knees.

In 2015 I was looking at the GT650R and a Ninja 650 (both new), I got the GT and I'm happy I made the right choice :D

I own a 78 Ironhead. It ain't about going fast. It's about going slow. Looking good. And sounding GREAT.

I bought 2012 Hyosung GT650R for equivalent of 2350$ (Poland strong xD) from my friend. I have full history of riding and service, what was done and what should be done in near future and I really like this bike. That's kinda luxury in my country because looking for decent used bike is like walking on the minefield.

Benelli TNTs are very unique bikes, they need a lot of care to be well maintained, and very often have the "reliability issue" stigma attached to them due to crappy ownership practices Nonetheless all of the various TNT models have a design that won the test of time and are still today a very, very valid motorcycle choice I implore anyone who has the possibility to try them out, their 3 cylinder engines (expecially the 1130cc variant) are just amazing

They're very beautyfull and a hoot to ride. Did 25.000km in one year on a 1130 Café Racer and another 30.000km on 6 other Benelli's (4x Tre-K, Amazonas and a TnT Sport EVO - all compagny bikes). Loved them all. But had 3 engine changes and some electronical problem. Luckaly I was working for Benelli at the time. If it would have been my money, I would go for een Speed Tripple. As much fun, even better sound and looks good enough.

I had a gt650. Reliability sucked, but performance and handling were bad ass, as good as any bike I've ever been on. I got back into riding after a long hiatus, and that bike was so stable I'd lean it till I was scraping

Had a 2001 883 and regeared it for the highway. It still was a jackhammer and the ringing in my head never went away lol. It was a reliable bike though with the evo engine.

I knew my BMW R1200c would be on your list. Bought it new and still have it. A lot of people hate it and then there's me. It has an acquired taste.

Whoa there papa yam the CX didn't have the accel/decel pull issue, though the guzzi does. The crank and the trans rotated in opposite directions to counter out the forces

Some of these videos really aren't very well researched. It's a shame. I enjoy the comedy but it's starting to feel like they are going for quantity of videos over quality of content. Come on guys, dial back the output a little and make better shit.

Lol, my first bike was a 2013 Versys 650 in grey. It was a great first bike, but unfortunately a freak accident meant I had to write it off. Ended up getting a V-Strom 650 to replace it, which I'll admit was better. But I wouldn't say the Versys deserves to be in a top 10 worst motorcycle list, bit harsh there Yam

Where do you get that Husqvarna worked on? Local lawnmower shop. No way in hell I’d buy one of those over a Versys. Dad bikes rule! One day you’ll be there Yam. You won’t be 25 forever bro.

For the DN-01, it actually used an electronically controlled CVT. The DCT is used on its successor, the NC700/750

I owned a gt650r 2014 model and I thought it was great, I made a bad mistake trading it for a Harley sportster still regretted it to this day even after selling the Harley.

This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. I love my Versys 650!

The Honda CX500 was a very popular despatchers bike in the 80s. Loads running the streets of London. I asked one despatch rider why, and he said they were reliable and inexpensive to run.

I have a 2001 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic, 'Classic' meaning they hadn't changed it since 1955. Other than being a self-propelled boat anchor, once I finished manufacturing it it became reliable. Fun to ride though.

The new Royal Enfield Interceptor has just been voted, bike of the year in the UK. Very retro. Brilliant. Well done them. The welds, finishes and paintwork are second to none. At the moment I don't have one, but four of my friends do and they all love them.

It's funny that the DN-01 has similar power and torque to an 883 but is lighter, despite the huge fairing and automatic gearbox. I didn't clock this until you put the two in one video, impressive!

After watching this...I can't believe how good I have it: Kawasaki KDX 220 for dual sport. Ducati 900 SS for everything and anything. Harley Davidson XR 1200 for smiles, laughs and tears of others. Haha. Good video. Thanks.

Enjoyed the video subbed and liked not many CX500 about now used to own one worst thing about it was it was top heavy.

“Enfield bad already”? Think they’ve made some quality cost inroads lately. May want to reassess. Or not.

The only intelligent reaction I've ever read to the Honda CX500 came from Leonard Setright. He explained in depth why it looked the way it did, and why it had pushrods etc. And unlike his contemporary motorcycle reporters he actually tried to ride it in the manner it was likely to be ridden by its target market (Matt Oxley, for example, still can't understand why it didn't go and feel like an RD350LC, which was probably the only bike he's capable of understanding). I have never ridden a CX, but since the clutch and flywheel rotate in the opposite direction to the crankshaft, I'm sceptical about the dreaded torque reaction, especially as since 2007 I have owned only BMW twins, and after more than 650,000Km on them I have never noticed this apparently so terrible fault.

I have a BMW R1250R, never noticed this torque reaction people keep going on about. Had a BMW R100T in the 80s, same, no noticeable torque reaction.

Ask Itchy Boots about the RE Himalayan! FACTS! Actions speak louder than words.

Indian Royal Enfield is not bad at all. On the routes of Ukraine and Russia, one can sometimes see specimens that came on their own wheels from India, with sand and clay from the Gobi desert in their cylinder ribs. It's not a joke. As long as you know a little mechanics and know this bike - you can go anywhere.

"Willie G." Davidson himself said that the BMW cruiser was a good bike, he said it was one of the few not trying to be a Harley

Back in my youth, I would read all the bike magazine reviews on the bike I was interested in. It took me awhile to realize that you really had to read between the lines because the writers dared not offend their advertisers. A real tightrope walk.

have you done any reviews of hyosung bikes? interested to see what you think of them

Hahaha, I feel attacked. My first bike was a CX500, I currently ride a Versys 650. The CX was interesting, a quirky bike that was extremely reliable and easy to work on, but rode like every other UJM of the era (vague suspension, non-existent brakes, rock solid motor). The Versys would be 1000% better with the MT-07 motor (just for the sound alone, the MT-07 motor and Kawi 650 have virtually identical powerbands), the Kawi 650 is really what makes the bike have no personality, it does handle extremely well, but the motor is completely devoid of personality.

"You want a Sportster get a rubber mounted one post 2004" no I completely disagree. You want a Sportster get a 91-03 5 speed hard mounted one. The current Sportsters with injection and rubber have completely lost the character that made the Sportster so enjoyable at reasonable speeds. I've tried several of the current ones and as much as I love the Sportster (and I do dearly, my dad has one since I was twelve, this bike holds a special place in my heart) there's just no thrill anymore to be had. What you're left with is a modern twin a bit dulled especially without stage 1 that handles badly. I'd rather get a Triumph instead given the choice

Love when they put a yamaha picture when they were talking about the Kawasaki versus lol you trying to say something about my tracer 900 papa yam? 🤣 good video sir but there always awesome 👌

I'm torn between the 2015 and 2021 Busa. Both have similar color pattern i want (black/goldish). I think the 2021 looks better though. Most comfy bike i been on once you set your rider triangle right. More comfy than my Harley softail and StreetGlide.

8:43 Kawasaki Versys 650 is Lego Yoda's bike of choice confirmed. I knew there was a reason its green!

This made me laugh uncontrollably more than a few times. Well done, Papa Yam.

Hey now, I have a bone stock 2003 Honda Civic and it's actually fun to drive. 2 door with a Manual transmission. Handles like a go kart and loves to rev out. Anyone who's ever driven a slow car fast can tell you how much fun it is. Not going to win any races, but you can have a lot more fun in it because no cop is going to give it a second glance.

'Get a 790 instead of a Versys' . . . and you'll not only pay twice as much, you and your credit card will get to know your dealer really well. The Versys will be ripping along the trail while the 790 is waiting for parts to be shipped so it can get home. There's a reason the 790 came and went very very quickly.

I tested the Hyosung 650GT when I worked for a magazine, then bought one to race in our 650 twins class in NZ. They are a little budget, the brakes are very wooden, but they ARE a very good bike at a fairly low price. Would I buy one over a Ninja 650? Nope! Not at the same price anyway. It definitely shouldn't have made this worst bike list. I think I'll change your name to Yammie Knob!

Here's a (very) rough table which applies to sports standards and nakeds: Size | 0-100 | Top Speed ish (100km/h = 62mph, so just subtract a third) 125 | 11-13s | 120-140km/h 250 | 6-8s | 140-170km/h 350 | ^ pretty much the same, just at lower rpm and all round easier to manage 400 | 4.5-7s | 140-180km/h 600 | 3-4s | 220-260km/h (aka stupid fast and very much not learner friendly) 650 | 4-6s | 170-210km/h (The middleweight learner / unrestricted but still tame category) 1000 | 2.3-3.2s | 280-299+ (most are electronically limited at 299) There are always outliers and exceptions but that's a good average for the more common options.. cruisers are tuned and geared to be more lazy and slower but great for highway, dirt bikes are just weird with great acceleration but low top speeds due to gearing etc I started on a VT250f integra, moved up to VFR800 then a Buell 1125r and now after a few year gap from bikes am looking to go back into a restricted 650 class learner bike.. they're cheap, have no trouble with highway speeds and more than fast enough to have fun. Hell I'd say MORE fun than a litre+ bike as you can push it more without instantly discombobulating

I have owned both Hyosung GT650R and Suzuki SV650, both were 2011. I honestly think the GT650R is more fun a more raw experience, suspension, much better than the one found in the SV. The SV was more civilized, more reliable, more predictable, better quality. Both were excellent bikes, but GT650R is nothing to look down upon

This video is so unprofessional it is beyond sad. I had a second hand Tnt, and never experienced any problems. The side mounted radiators DON'T interfere in any way with your legs, and free the rider from all the heat. Never had any bike that was so great in summer days. Ducati Monsters can forget the unbelievable torque it had in its days. I also have a 4th (!) hand first gen Versys, that is a hoot for canyon carving. It has a wonderful agility, and an umbelievable rpms range to exploit. Pushing hard real low, and not hitting any wall up the Rev counter. Comparing it to a Multistrada just makes no sense. It's less than half the price. What comparison is that? Very unprofessional video, based on "heard" non-facts, and personal tastes. There are people behind every project, who did their best, within industrial restraints, to create something good. They deserve respect. You can criticize the styling, that's personal taste, but loathing projects on hearsay is far from fair.
