Take a ride with me and share the journey to see what it feels like to ride a specific year and model of motorcycle the first time.
Based on the year, I will only be filming motorcycles that I have never ridden before. That way, we can experience the ride together. Since it is difficult to get access to motorcycles to ride for the most part all I have is 5 to 10 minutes to prepare for a specific bike before I ride it and will only be able to do so for 20 minutes, so I will have limited time on most bikes but more than enough for me to get a raw first impression.
Learning to ride, new riders, and experienced riders all have a place here. Each of us can learn from each other and can share our questions and experience together.
Personally, I have ridden hundreds of motorcycles, but I really want to see more people riding and would love to share the journey with you!

Love the new layout of the start screen. Also the list of other bikes is awesome and very helpful thank you!
Hey I have a question! I’m new to riding and I just got this bike. I noticed when I was riding home. When I was stuck in traffic the bike began to run 1 bar over on the hot side, as soon as I picked up speed it went back down to the normal midway point of 3/6 bars. Anyways this this normal or safe that the engine is running at 4-6 bars while stopped in traffic?? I understand if it’s air cooled but this bike has a coolant system!?
Congrats on your new bike and glad you made the choice to start riding! As far as the temp that is normal even for liquid cooled bikes. As the temp rises the radiator fan will kick on to hold the temp and as you start moving again it will push more air through the radiator and cool down the bike to its normal temp. You can assist to get the temp a little lower by changing the coolant to a better product. I use Engine ICE in all of my bikes but in traffic and slow speed riding it will still get hot especially with fully faired bikes.
Are you in my head?!?!? I was literally going to suggest the 660 yesterday to you 😂😂😂
Lol perfect timing! Anytime anyone wants to request a bike I will try my best to get it. Plus it helps if I can go to the dealership with a lot of requests as they know it will get views.
I like it! It looks like a blast and it has a frunk! A Frunk, Man, I could get rid of my cargo net. Maybe electric isn't so bad
Yeah that is a benefit and i should have pointed that out myself but you are here to save the day! Not having a gas tank opens up the space for other things. Electric has a future and when range gets too 200 miles per charge or when I can charge in 20 minutes I will buy one myself. They are very fun
Which has a lower center of gravity, this or the Road King Special?
Not sure to be honest. The springfield does claim a lower wet weight but both felt about the same to me. Road King Special maybe a little bit less top heavy but not by much based on feel.
I love the MV Agusta Brutale! It’s one of my motivations to learn to ride (along with a Gen 5 VFR800) …. Someday hope to be experienced enough to ride the Brutale! Keep up the awesome work!
You will absolutely get the experience in time! This took jumped into the top 10 of my favorite rides. I have never had the opportunity to ride a vfr800 but would like to someday myself but if you ride one first let me know what you think about the ride. Thank you for your support! Without you all I wouldn't have gotten to this point and I will never stop
Wish it had a fuel gauge
That was my first Harley, I crossed the Andes, from Santiago (Chile) to Mendoza (Argentina) in 2013 on that motorcycle. I sold it in 2015 to buy a Breakout, and I'm seriously thinking about buying a VRod again. Thank you very much for the video.
Wow that sounds like an amazing journey! Did you make any modifications to the bike for the trip? I enjoyed this ride so much I bought it from the subscriber that let me try it out and still have it. Thank you for taking the time to watch and share your experience with it.
Sounds like a K series civic 🔥🔥
I have this and the Nk MT03 for my first bike for commuting still haven't decided
If I was commuting primarily the nk450 would be a great option and is more comfortable than the ss. I purchased the ss myself since I wanted to add a small track and commuting bike to my stable. Both are great options and no matter which you choose I'm sure you will enjoy it.
@@MotorcycleDemoRiders right now I live 10 min from work and in year time I'll be a hour away but driving 2 line hwy there and bike unlike ATL hwy
Such an amazing looking machine! I appreciate the comparison list. Would love to get your take on the Streetfighter V2 if possible
2nd on the Streetfighter! i worry about longevity on the MV Agusta bikes but cant deny the beauty of the bike
I will see if I can get one filmed for you. It would be a solid competitor to this. Torque and power are higher. Would be interesting to see how the v2 would be against this.
S E X Y That's a bike as you walk away, you look back at and think damn that's hot!
No doubt about that! It's such an amazing machine. I very much enjoyed the chance to share it with everyone!
But ill.keep the 650 for life if go to.1000 ninja
Creo que viene muy amarrada, hay hacerle algunos cambios para que de un poco más,.
You should make a video on the supermoto mode
I love my 2023 KTM 200 Duke!!!
That was an awesome demonstration of the new 3-speed BMW S1000RR
Lol yeah I believe it was a cost cutting method by bmw. Guess they figured there was no reason to add anymore gears.
First! Love your reviews and your channel!! The way you present the info is so unique and valuable…. I see you have a top 10 graphic… could you put the model names so we understand what’s in the top 10? Thank you and keep up the great work! EDIT: LOL, I see you have them conveniently listed at the end of the video! Thanks!
I did try to put the list form in the front of the video but couldn't make it fit correctly. So, I just kept the list at the end. Will see a new bike break into the top 10 next Sunday after the rides i had yesterday. This missed out on the top 10 but will be my next track bike. Even riding in a very conservative mannor, this felt so good I was thinking about how it would be on track. I've been working really hard on getting more dealerships and was able to get 2 more added so we can get some more BMW, Ducati, MV Agusta, Aprilia, and Moto Guzzi in the future. I appreciate you for the support and for taking the time to watch. It means the world to me and I am having such a great time.
If you're coming from big boy bikes the papios are definitely "slow as shit" but mini motos are so much fun to ride.... Specually in a group. But you'll be smiling the whole time. Also CF MOTO killed the style points on their 2024 PAPIOs
Lol yeah I would agree that these bikes are better in a group. Just a different experience. I suppose I could have been more pg in the video but true and honest feelings in the moment. Yeah it does look really good and so the the ss version. I think that addon screen you can get for the side is really cool. Stay safe
@@MotorcycleDemoRiders don't even worry about the PG rating I had to edit a few words out of my first ride for the SS 😂😂😅
@Smallbore2wheels i will check it out! Most of my demographic is over 35 anyway so I guess they can handle a bit of language
I just bought a 2024 Street Glide Whiskey Fire and chrome last Tuesday. Unbelievably awesome!
Congrats on your new bike? I love the whiskey fire color myself. The 24 RG I took out was that color. My wife loved it also. She told me to buy it because she liked it. I hope you have many safe miles in the future and please share your experiences or issues with it if you have time. Stay safe
Dislike the front end, I have an 08 and like that style better but the 114 is nice also👍💪
Appreciate you for sharing your thoughts. I will need to get an older model at some point to add to the library. I personal preference is always a factor for people when looking for a bike. The 08 was the 96ci correct?
That's why they make smooth and chunky peanut butter. It's a light touring bike and I own one. I also eat chunky peanut butter.
I’m curious how many t509s are around. I have a ‘98 that I picked up for 2000$ cad. Which I think was a steal.
I can't imagine that there are that many left in good condition at this point. Who knows how many they brought into north America but for the price you paid I think its a great deal. Thats like 1500 usd so yeah. Its a special bike and I congratulate you for the find. Are you enjoying it?
Has the quality gotten better than it used to be? I'm looking at this any entry level Yamaha
I haven't heard of any issues personally. It's well equipped for the price point, and there are a lot of good deals out there to pick up cheap. The yamaha mt03/r3 are great bikes also and would provide a little more power making it a better choice if you need to do any interstate riding. So many options in the entry level segment right now. The 300nk is the same price as the 200 duke and I think its a good option also in the category.
Almost bought one of these a month ago. Same year but the RS, $6k and I had plans to ride it for rest of the year and sell if for same or more. Then the guys wife told him to not sell it(He looked relieved honestly lol) was a long ride home or so it felt like. Like you said, good bike if you find a deal
Oh that would be a good deal. Sucks to make a drive to see it and not to be able to make the deal. I've been there too
I'd probably buy one of these if I didn't have to go over 100 miles to get to the nearest dealer... the classic is beautiful
It likes to be revved out.
I love the bike but these Harley prices are ridiculous. 20k for a motorcycle is crazy.
While I tend to agree with you as prices for all bikes are higher than I would like, they still sell at the prices they are charging. That said I think they would sell more if it was 16k. I also think Harley needs to bring a bike that is less than 10k but I don't see that happening.
@@MotorcycleDemoRiders I’d just pick up a 2019 one that’s basically the same for 10k.
I just recently bought a 2023 HD Heritage Classic. I have never owned a Harley or spend over $10,000 on a bike. I have put about 700 miles on it so far and just love it. It’s the next level in motorcycling. It’s extremely powerful, very comfortable and handles very well it actually fits my body like a glove. I just hope that it’s as reliable as my middle weight Japanese cruisers that I own. If it’s reliable then I will likely always ride one.
Congratulations on your new bike! As long as you do the maintenance on time I'm sure it will be a very reliable machine for you for years to come. What made you go with the Heritage Classic?
Not a fan of the view from the cockpit. Mirrors below the handlebars on a sports looking bike is pretty jank looking.
Only thing better than a Busa is a Turbo Busa lol. To me its like a superbike and a sport touring got together and had a big baby. They have a cult following. Dealers bring in a ton of em and sell em every year.
Lol well thats what Yammie Noob says also! I haven't had the privilege to try a turbo busa yet but I'm sure its amazing in a straight line. Its an interesting love pairing that made this bike. I really want to ride a bking. I think that model was made at the wrong time. As far as the busa you are correct. They always sell. A gentleman that turned 80 was buying one for his birthday that day. He said he has had each generation at this point. He planned to take a tour to Colorado this year on it. Inspiring to me!
@@MotorcycleDemoRiders Yeah, I am not in a hurry to ride a turbo busa lol. Such a comfy bike. Yeah, BKing mmmmm
Had to get a lemon law buyback on the zero I had.... these bikes are not what they claim
What were the issues you were having with yours? More information is great to have for other potential buyers.
Ultimately it was the BMS (would not hold stable charge) but they only figured that out after multiple trips to dealer, with dealer repeatedly claiming bike was fine, blaming me ('garage is too hot, garage is too cold, your not riding enough, etc)... I've driven electric cars for a decade so very familiar with issues... didn't appreciate the gaslighting but they did fine me a full refund...
That bike was never the fastest in any year not even close , the Kawasaki would just destroy it as well as others, great motor after you replace the recall adjuster and smooth, its a big soft touring bike really but great power and looks.
1987, for a brief time, it was the fastest at 164mph but was beat sortly after by the zx10 tomcat at 165mph. It was such a smooth and comfortable bike to ride. The development of motorcycles over the years is fascinating. Now, these are slow by comparison
@@MotorcycleDemoRiders oh 87 maybe some bike mag pinned that title on it but I have ridden those and also that top speed is questionable as the power to weight is just not there but who knows what prep they did and a tiny rider like Jay G might get good times out of it .
Shifting mad slow and way before peak power.
Top speed?
Claimed 149mph
@@MotorcycleDemoRiders thank you
Mine is flashed with a full Yoshimura exhaust and velocity stacks. I got her up to 167 mph on the speedo .
What a stupid looking bike 🙄😒👎
Besides the slight burst of acceleration, it’s almost like you were riding a 390 KTM Duke. Appreciate the video brother .
best to blur out the dash otherwise they have evidence on you. these have crazy pull but price and range aren't in their favor.
True enough! I do believe that the future will be electric but we are years away from the tech to make it cost and range viable for the masses. Also the infrastructure to properly support them. I do think everyone should try an electric motorcycle just for the experience.
May I know how much salary is 5 grand there? Average guy buyable? It'll take 2 year salary for me to get this bike. 😅
Depends on the work you do in the states but generally in the states we finance everything versus paying cash.
I have a Vrod Muscle and it’s little brother the Street Rod 750. I love these bikes !!
I always wanted to try the street rod series of bikes. How is the 750 overall? You love it but is it comfortable? Sadly it didn't sell well enough for them to keep it in the lineup but it seemed like a good option on paper.
21k-24k is what these are new omg! I will never buy an electric bike as a "main" motorcycle. too many times I take off and ride 400-800 miles before returning to home. Who knows, a hybrid like a prius that has range, and elec power for bursts of speed might be a better thing. I'd try a CFmoto before I'd jump on a elec. OHH, Kaw has a hybrid but havent ridden one. Thanks for the video!
They aren't cheap, and right now, no, it wouldn't even be an option for me either. I am interested in trying the hybrid kawi at some point in the future. It's an interesting idea.
I'm in agreement that electric vehicles are the future but as you pointed out they aren't ready for main stream adoption yet. The infrastructure needs to be in place but after that we will all be able to enjoy these machines. Love your reviews and see that 5k sub mark coming up! Congrats and thank you for all the work you do in showcasing different bikes. Stay Safe
Appreciate you for taking the time to share your feelings and for you continued support. We will one day get to the point these are viable options but it will take more time. I love electric bike and cars but they are also still to expensive for the mainstream. Lol 5k will come and I'm very thankful for everyone that has taken the time to watch and share the videos. I'm very much enjoying the journey and am happy that it has helped individuals.
Can you see over the wind screen
No I am looking through the windscreen at 5'9.
I'm 76 years old, haven't ridden in four years. If it pleases God that I can beat this cancer and gain some of my strength back, I am going to order this same Motorcycle. I know I can't handle baggers anymore.
I wish you all the best with your battle and hope you come through stronger than ever! Take it one day at a time and don't stop fighting! You will be in my prayers!
@@MotorcycleDemoRiders Thank you very much, really appreciate your kind thoughts. btw, great video.
Just said prayer for you. May you beat that cancer and be able to ride like the wind. Gods blessings be with you
I have the same bike..just a bea9ty to ride and i practice every day on it . Its got some torque in the low end
What gloves are you wearing sir?
Those are ILM Goatskin gloves. Pretty comfortable and have lasted nearly 2 years.
What a gorgeous motorcycle. Polaris Industries absolutely nailed it. I hope they bring back some of that Victory styling with their next bike.
Completely agree with you! Thank you for taking the time to share your feelings on it. I hope they continue to do well in the future to drive more innovation to the space going forward.
Good review. I’m a new owner of a 2025 Scout Classic in Sunset Red Metallic. Love it so far. Adding accessories to make it more like the Super Scout. I like the classic fenders and chrome better on the Classic.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment about your experience with it. Congrats on the new ride! The color option you went with is really good looking. I agree with you on the chrome and overall look of the classic. I also love the spoked rims. Just added to the design aesthetic for me. So are you adding the windscreen and bags? or do you have other options that you're looking at also? Stay safe and enjoy the ride
@@MotorcycleDemoRiders Getting bags, highway bars with lights, passenger pegs and pillow, heated grips. I’ll order a windscreen as well, trying to decide on the size.
As a 22 year old who’s looking to get into motorcycles I love your videos. Although I feel like I’m joining the motorcycle party late your videos are really educational to me. Thanks!
I am glad you found the channel and you have found it helpful. Its never to late to learn to ride and I welcome you to the 2 wheels world. We are all riders and are here to help you with any questions or concerns you have. I personally want to see more riders coming in so we can grow as a community. I thank you for your support and subscription to the channel. If you have any other bikes you would be interested in let me know if I don't have it and I will try to find one.
I had to update thoughts on this bike. It's leading the Twins cup race standings! Turns out there is a TON of power hidden inside this bike. 90hp and 65torque to the wheels makes for an amazing ride once you remove the restrictions. 20%+ gains WTF Check out Twins Cup Race 1 at Road Atlanta 2024. The bike is just faster straight and in the turns than the others. I give even more respect that it is doing so well in racing as well. GJ Suzuki this new model is a keeper. Dont make us wait 20years for another new one.
In the twins category it is a monster no doubt. It helps that Rocco is the rider! He is an exceptional talent. It can is absolutely more powerful than the r7 but without rocco it falls behind the rs660. But the rs660 is 2k more so take that for what its worth. Appreciate you sharing the stats as always @paulb_614 More information for others is a great thing
@@MotorcycleDemoRiders 1st and 4th are Suzuki. RS660 2nd-3rd It's gorgeous looking no doubt. They both put the same hp to the ground but the 8r has 20ftlb lead. Probably making it the better street bike. Shoot it has 10ft lb more than the gsxr750. I hope Yamaha Pushes the R7 next year. Competition is good for us as it means progress/innovation. Torque is nice in the turns. LOL any modern bike is fast enough to get you a ticket though :)
