That last one doesn't make any sense. My cousin's Harley has WAY MORE storage space (even with my aftermarket saddle bags) than my Yamaha V-Star and he's got a longer mileage range. He has a fuel gage and mine don't. So... how is a Harley not a practical bike? I OWN a metric cruiser and I'm asking this. (I bought what I can afford, don't hate.) I will probably NEVER buy a Harley, but I won't hate on them. If I find myself in a a situation where I've replaced my truck that got wrecked, my bills are caught up, we've bought that hot tub we've been wanting, and I have a little disposal income I probably will get a Harley. (By that time I'll probably need a trike)

Another great video guys! I cut my teeth on an SV650 but now that I’m an old (41) man...I finally became a Harley boi after always wanting one. I definitely got a lot of bang for my buck as I bought it gently used from a friend. I say I “rescued” it from him as it is a 2012 Softail Blackline 103ci and only had 4000 miles on it😳😳. I fully acknowledge that there are tons of more refined bikes out there, and I’m just a fan of bikes in general, but I love my bike and that’s what matters. Ride whatever you like and enjoy the road ya’ll!

Point #8: I used to own a (Yamaha) 650 cc V-Star Classic. It was a great bike to learn proper riding techniques and cruise around town. I owned it for 10 years before trading it in on a used Harley (Electroglide) Limited. The Harley weighs almost twice as much as the V-Star, 900+ lbs vs. about 500 lbs, yet I can do things on my Harley WITH A PASSENGER that I would never dream of doing (or even attempting) on the "little-ish" V-Star, like u-turns on a residential street. The big bike seems to make maneuvers such as this easy.

20 year metric cruiser guy here. Very funny video and I guess if I was buying a new cruiser it would be HD or Indian. But there are so many good cruisers from 2000 to 2009 with less than 20,000 miles on them. I just can't see buying new.

The big thing about "I still have my hearing" is that most hearing damage on a bike is due to wind noise, not your exhaust. And now for something completely different: I bought a Suzuki M90 Boulevard because I wanted a liquid cooled engine (I live in the city, commute on my bike, and didn't want to roast my nuts; if HD had made a liquid cooled motorcycle in my budget, I'd have bought that). Looking back, I should have bought a different bike, as the aftermarket support for an M90 is garbage and that is part of the reason why I got a good deal. Even a more obscure modern HD gets tons more aftermarket support than my bike.

MAYBE I’M JUST LUCKY WITH THIS BIKE, but I bough a 1984 Yamaha XV 700 for under 1000 with full windscreen, real leather saddlebags, no tears in the seat or sissy bar, it has a shit ton of chrome, no dings or dents, and under 19000 miles. In one year, I doubled that, and now it’s pushing 80000. NO ENGINE PROBLEMS AT ALL! What sold me on it was the driveshaft instead of a chain or belt. The sissy bar is very usable for my trunk which can hold a 24 pack of water plus other groceries. Not to mention what I could pile in the saddlebags. I thought I would buy this until I could save up for a Harley or an Indian, but I love this bike. It has never broken down, and the famous problem with the starter clutch I solved with the removal of the spring, buying a brand new gear for around 60 bucks, and putting on a four brush starter.

Beautiful rebel 300

I dunno man, I kinda disagree with a lot of this video. I got into my very first bike, a 2020 V-strom 650, looking for most of the stuff they were putting down in this list. I wanted a bike that was practical as motorcycles go (Tons of luggage options and aftermarket support), wasn't loud and obnoxious, would be low maintenance and reliable, and while I wanted it to have the power and range to go on long highway road trips I wasn't looking for a monster of a machine. I just wanted something I could use to tour with one buddy and go ride some off road trails with another while getting the most for my money. I commute to work daily on it when I can during the summer months and I think I got a solid machine for a great price. Not all folks looking for a motorcycle are lookin' to be up in everyone else's face about it, some just want to have a bit of their own fun.

To get similar performance and ridability I was having to look at 103 and 107 bikes. Am I wrong?

As someone who has loved Harleys my whole life and been riding and working on them for almost three decades, there's one serious problem that I've never encountered on any of my Japanese bikes, i.e. you can't let a Harley sit very long before they just rust to pieces. Harley owners today are basically the exact same people who bought Harleys 50 years ago. The younger generations don't want to spend all morning washing and polishing all that chrome before they take it out on the road which is probably why Harley is building all these blacked out no-nonsense bikes now. Even so, I don't think that's going to save Harley. As much as I practically idolized the bikers and gangs thundering down the highways when I was a kid, the novelty has worn too thin for me to take these clowns seriously anymore. After hanging out on poker runs or riding only a few miles with these guys I suddenly realized that the vast majority of them are complete imbeciles.

I still don't understand why chrome gets so much hate lately. It's a high luster, protective, corrosion resistant coating (like, you know, paint) with the added benefit of actually being hard wearing (unlike paint). Sure, covering an entire bike in chrome is a bit much, but for accents and accessories I don't see why people dump on it so much. It's easier to clean and less likely to scratch, the only real downfall is that it doesn't really come in multiple colors.

Ive got an 06 softtail nightrain, ape hangers, no fairing, loud pipes, bored out... I still love your videos and laugh at dentist's weekend geezer glides they bought for 50k. Keep making funny videos and ride what you like.

My vstar is comfortable on my 140 mile round trip to work everyday and it Cost me $3000. As long as I’m on two wheels I don’t honestly care what the tank says.

I rode a Wide Glide with a Thunder header for 15 years. Now I have a Versys X300 and it's much more pleasant to ride. I rode from Van Alstyne to Denison one night doing 75 on U S 75 and it was great. Smooth as as a new born baby's butt at 9000 rpm. 61 mpg is nice also, as is the weight. I will be 75 in Sep. so I'm thrilled to be riding my 62nd. year. Keep them videos coming and I'll keep watching.

I have an hour ride to work every day, mostly highway. My Thunderbird was the practical option, comfy and easy riding. Won't deny that I also got it because it looked nice as heck.

The only one I relate to is not having a loud exhaust. I do have to worry about loud exhausts in my area for decibel machines with cameras that will ticket you for noise. And I have to leave early in the morning and home late, and my neighbors are all old retirees who would put in a complaint. Not about "not having fun", but it is not the reason why I ride

Awesome video guys. But all jokes aside I love my bolt I’m not gonna give you any of the excuses mentioned I just saw it in the dealership and had to have it based off of nothing besides pure impulse 🤣

I had aVstar before I had two HDs. When the Vstar ran it was great and I loved it. Then I got into HD and realized there really is nothing like a Harley! 😊

Have owned 3 metric bikes and 1 Harley and loved them all. Low rider is my current ride and a Honda also. Ride what you like and like what you ride, no wrong answer 👍

So, after years of procrastination, I decided to get another bike. I bought a police Electra Glide Ultra Classic at a yard sale. Went to my ace mechanic and went from bow to stern (some boat jargon) and had it mechanically updated. For around 7 grand I have a gorgeous machine and it rides tremendously. I still want to ride the Honda 1100, but for now I have style and profile.

Funniest intro ever done by you guys. Cheers

I recently got back into riding. I am 57 yrs old and was seriously looking for something I could commute to work. My drive to with is 64 miles round trip and the Hemi Magnum was eating me alive in gas. Seriously over 550 dollars a month. I am past the point in my life for weaving through traffic and knee grinding twisties. I like the big obnoxious cruisers but did not like the price tag of the HD. I researched for about 2 months. I ended up with an 03 Honda VTX 1800S. Only 8K miles and snagged it for about 4k. It had been a while since I have mounted a bike so the weight was a thing for sure. A few months later though and I barley notice. Now I know this isn't the fastest thing out there but as they say, "no replacement for displacement". That 120 LB Ft of torque is a kick in the pants. And I feel pretty safe on the interstates with this monster. I know, should have just got an HD, but honestly, I did not want to pay twice as much for possibly a lesser bike. I have always had Hondas and they just run. Which is what I was looking for in a machine. And PS. I do have full gear. I am not into having my skin and brains all over the asphalt.

The amount of adjectives that are finding their way in front of a Harley's engine keep getting better and better.

Versys 650LT is life! It rides over the vibrating bones of terrible cruisers with its awesome suspension and power wheelie’ing fun.

I am a sportbike guy too and have, actually, had a few decently handling cruisers. One, that is very surprising given the dimensions and tire sizes, is the Yamaha Raider S. It had decent power, for a cruiser, and turned in well, due to the weight kept low to the ground and offsets of tire widths, I believe? Not sure, but it just worked. Another, is the Kawasaki Mean Streak. Decent handling and ground clearance if you don't mind sacrificing for a little less power and torque. Great channel. Carry on! Lol

I've owned 2 Harleys and one metric. There was always something going wrong on the Harleys. We used to say, "If if doesn't have an oil leak, it's not a Harley". But I did enjoy riding them most of the time. When I got my metric, I really liked how light and nimble it was, and how much more advanced it was than the Harleys. Never had much of a problem mechanically. But it didn't look as good and wasn't as comfortable as the Harleys. So if I want something that looks good, is comfortable for all day rides, but is also light and nimble with modern features, I'd probably go with something like the Triumph Speedmaster as it seems like the best of both worlds.

Well it’s funny because I have a Suzuki boulevard m90 and I’m working on going from that to a Harley because I realized I was kidding myself chasing that Harley feel without the Harley badge

I've had two metric cruisers (HARDLY Davidson's if you will...) I was sure that this time around I would get an HD to see what the hype was all about. But the hype costs money and in the end I grabbed a Yamaha Raider because on the used market, your dollar really does go further

Compare that to a bare-bones soft tail standard...just the bike alone, no windshield, no bags - I don't even think it comes with a passenger seat - it STARTS at $13,949!

Here in Australia, I bought a brand new Kawasaki Vulcan 900 because it was the best bike that suited my needs. The Harley Davidsons that also suit my needs would be the Sport Glide or the Low Rider S, as they all have the big 5 gallon tank. I spent $14000 on the Vulcan, the Low Rider S and Sport Glide cost $28000

Lol, I would love for you guys to rent a versys 650, and make a video of it

God this was great! Thanks for the laugh fellas!

I have an 06 Suzuki s50 no fuel gauge no traction control duel carbs and a drum rear brake . It's the only bike I've ever had and I love it

I love my Shadow 600 hard tail bobber, though I would love to have an Evo Harley

Same here. Preferably a Softail. Because Softails = Best visual design. In my eyes, at least.

I'm struggling with many of these issues looking at used V-twins. Something a metric bike can't compete with against a HD. Support!

HD are making bikes for latte sipping fairies these days. Skinny jeans, man purses and fresh tatts to look cool lol

No no, that's who Triumph makes bikes for...

The intro murdered me😂

Could you guys please test a honda vtx1300? It's a great motorcycle. It looks good, sounds great with the vance and hines exhaust and handles very well! Best metric cruiser out there

Off subject, but I'd like to know Yammies' view on the Yamaha R3 vs R7. Is the R7 even necessary in your eyes?

I just bought a Kawasaki Vulcan 800 Classic today and you drop this video? lol

No nerds! Clipping those hot mics today boys. That’s the fire and compassion we need more of!

Buddy ofmine had a Virago. Custom painted with "Hardly a Davidson" on the tank.

I had the Vulcan S Had a Vmax, Sportster. Now i’m just having a lots of fun with a Bolt🤣

Entertaining list.. I bought my Triumph cruiser and it checks all the boxes. I do wonder why this channel has not reviewed the Triumph cruisers from the 2000’s up. Lot of bike for the bucks.. and many still as fast as newer competitors

My bike is a 1998 Honda Magna VF750 so im really hoping you go at the 4-carb v4 club lol

Spite reminds me of Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds in this video hahaha
