@@God-mb8wi Ya I mean most of the time. Compare Japanese restaurant to an American or Chinese restaurant. Or the planning of pearl harbor. Or their vehicles. There is a reason their brands are called the big 4..... but every nation has it's dark shadows in history.... sometimes it's a shitty pistol that wants to blow your hand off xD
I’m from Italy, where so many cool bikes are manufactured. and I have to admit, you’re 100% right. None can beat japanese quality, they really can forge metal. If we italians were capable of building such engines we’d sell them for a 100 thousand bucks each
I was watching a race on you tube after Yamaha clinched the manufacturers' trophy, and they were interviewing an engineer from Yamaha: Why do you think Japan outputs a clearly better bike than the competition? The engineer replied, In Japan we do not have a military industrial complex. In Japan, all the top tier engineers go into racing. I never considered that point of view before, and I think it has merit.
I've always had Jap bikes, and plenty of friends with Italian bikes, and at the end of the day we are all friends and enjoy riding. That is why I always stopped by and told them how good the conditions were for the ride while they were stuck at home doing some kind of obscure repair.
Bikes are like GFs/Wives. *European bikes are your, hot wives, that sometimes do housework but mostly shops/or use your money on online poker. They are a pain in your wallet, but thinking that you've already spent that much might as well commit. But then again when you run dry, then she will go on to the next rich dude she sees, and you are left there lamenting on the past. *Japanese bikes are your typical house wives, will cater to your every whim, and will sometimes ask for your to buy her a new set of underwear/clothes from time to time. They are often loyal and faithful, they'll stick by you through thick and thin, unless if you were then one that decided to cheat on her for a hotter wife(European bikes) Edit: I added some more.
So what u want ? a wife spend more time with u who is loyal or who spend more time with other cuse of overheating. U know what to say . I love ducati but it love to spend much time in showroom with others.
I had Honda and Suzu , I got to say they are reliable, no issues honda 5 years, suzu 1 year, I also had 2 BMW vehicles...my Gosh, I hope they doing better job in motorcycle department, PS. Although Im second owner of bimmers...It is fair to say that I also second owner of honda/suzu, Im only talking about engine. BMW has to have mega short oil changes intervals or you fucked.
I’m a Japanese guy who currently rides a Triumph and a Suzuki. Japanese bikes are definitely reliable and affordable, I have been riding them for 20+ years since I was in high school. However, I feel in personally that Western bikes have unique joys and attractiveness that Japanese bikes don’t have. Harley, Triumph, Motoguzzi and Ducati bikes have iconic stories and histories, unique traditions, in other words they have something to be called culture. "Riding a Harley-Davidson" easily becomes the rider’s personality (Of course, my view may have a bias as Japanese). Japanese products are surely good, I love them but sometimes they lack those things while they have incredible quality.
面白かったです。アメリカに住んでいます。すみません、日本語が良くないで、英語を話していますから。In the United States, Japanese motorcycles are not known for their histories and unique traditions like you said but I and some Americans disagree. I grew up around Japanese motorcycles all my life and I've researched a lot of the history of Japanese bikes I've ridden. I think they're unique in their own way. I think it is just that Harley, BMW, Ducati are much better at selling their history than Japanese bikes in my opinion. For example, I respect the VMax from Yamaha a lot. The bike is a unique V4 with so many Americans modifying them for all kinds of things. Much of the Vmax is put together by hand and polished by hand and the quality for the money is amazing. That also sells me to Japanese than buying other bikes. Despite making so many bikes, they put a lot of effort in making the best quality for the money. Harleys are definitely culture focused, I am surprised they are that way in Japan too. I think air cooled engines are fun and incredibly unique. Same goes for Triumph making some of the most famous parallel twins and Ducati's V4 engines and beautiful engineering. All types of motorcycles seem to have something that makes them unique. If you ever get a chance, you should come to America. You will be surprised at the positive things Americans have to say about Japanese bikes and the culture surrounding them.
I ride around on a 1970 Honda Cub it is a 52 year old bike and it's prefect for gutting to work in town. If I were to get a new bike it would be another Japanese.. just wish they would make more retro inspired bikes because not a big fan of the looks of modern bikes.
I worked at a Ducati and BMW bike shop, the issues on both the bikes where immense. Had a 2 year old ducati where the crankshaft split in two. Valve check took 7-9 hours on a newer ducati, Ducati scrambler needs to replace a few shims for the valve check eery 12000 km. It is insane.
I bougt a 1982 Suzuki gsx1100 barn find with 85000km on the clock, after servicing the carburettors and oil/filter change it started first time. Converted it into a cool cafe racer, sorted out the ratling clutch basket and that motor just keeps on running. Doing an average 400km a week end and never lets me down. Straight old school with no electronic aids and pansy stuff.. I love my Suzy.
I had a Ducati 860 GT (1974 I think.) The engine had bevel gears and shafts to drive the cams. I found this machine to be very reliable. I commuted pretty much daily, even went on a road trip of some 600 miles each way, with no previous planning. No problems encountered. The only problem that I found very annoying was that the carbs were very sensitive to moisture in the gasoline. I got pretty quick at dismantling and cleaning the carbs. There was no ethanol in pump gas in those days, and I never knew if the fuel system would survive the addition of ethanol. The bike was a blast to ride. Wish I still had it.
And with a market in China and India. But the benefit for us is just like Jammie mentioned. Massproduction of parts (even the mopeds have a lot of common parts with the middle sized bikes) = cheaper and easier to get your hands on.
Just a quick comment on the Mopeds! Honda's and Yamaha Mopeds are killing your superior Ducati's in almost every racing circuit as well. Those Japanese sure do make some fast mopeds. Right? 😳 >< 😅😅😧 I personally like Ducati and BMW. However, everything this man said is a fact. Really how can you cut down Honda they are known for there build quality and also for leading the world on sportbikes for all other advance. That is really how the BMW came to be. without honda pushing the BMW & Ducati would not be what it is today.
@@trickedouttech321 well this is, from mopeds owner prespective (not sportbike tho) mopeds engine are small (between 50 to 180cc) compare it the superbike or sportbike. And most of them are they known not by the performance but by reliablility, ease of use and easy to maintainance (not counting the 2 stroke mopeds tho, coz they still sick in performance).
Nice video, very informative. I almost bought an R1, but chose to go with a Ducati. I paid about 800 euro more, for 252cc less. So I totally understand the price difference. But I also live in Italy, so finding a shop to work on it is a little easier. I must say though, comparing style and looks between the two, imho, there is no comparison. I love the sound of the dry clutch, and the exhaust note of my Ducati. Keep up the good work yammie!
My cbr600rr has had its original sparkplugs from 2007 only changed this september (my former mechanic isn't to be trusted). And she never let me down or had a misfire. Even with al the performance mods. And has 62.000 KM and i ride it daily. Balls to the walls reliable.
@ian trofimov they do wear, the white on the plug can become rusted over time and use, plus the contacts also can corrode. There is a reason why the manual says when you need to replace them. So yeah they are a wear item.
I bought my 2006 Ducati Monster S2R brand new, and I had my first mechanical failure last week with a dead fuel pump. I do all the regular maintenance myself, including oil changes and timing belts, with only moderate mechanical skill and an ordinary set of metric tools. I check the valve lash myself, but I have never had to adjust it. Based on the brand-wide failure stats, I must have gotten one of the good ones.
Hard to argue when my friend has had his brand new Kawasaki for 1 week and is already past break-in mileage while my brand new Ducati that I've owned for a month has accrued 20 miles and has been in the shop for more than half of the time I've owned it. That's right....I got 20 miles on it before sending it back. Best part is the Ducati dealer acts like they are doing me a favor by repairing the bike under warranty (it was delivered with a leaking and non functional rear brake which locked up on me during my first ride and overheated the rotor to the point of bronzing it). The Ducati dealer actually used the terms "favor" and "goodwill" to describe their service. I still don't have the bike back. Ducati takes a week of down time between each action so it might be a while.
@@dariomazzitelli3525 they said no one knew how to work on their chinese bikes. So to fix that they replaced their chinese bike with an R1. You're misunderstanding the comment
I am from E.U, and totally agree :). I love Kawa, but i love made in Japan stuffs in general. And i live at 500km from Germany :). However, for us, parts and services for european products are much easier to get for good deal prices, for other continents might be harder and more expansive. I also buy electronics who have japanesse components in them. Japan has also a big advantage, they produce many parts in asian countries with low salary employees jobs, here in Europe, everything is more expansive, it is not like Ducatti make more profit, they just produce parts with different costs.
Japanese big bikes with engine bigger than 300 cc are still made in Japan, USA & any other developed countries that have average min. wage just like in West Europe. Japanese manufacturer's plant in India, SEAsia countries only produce small bikes like scooters, mopeds & single or twin cylinders bikes with engine less than 500 cc. If you live in SEAsia & you wanna buy a brand new Japanese bike with 600-1000 cc 4cylinders engine, it would be imported from Japan & the price is ridiculous, so expensive.
In my native language Marathi we do call our wives baiko. 😂 Promised mom, will bring one soon... She doesn't know her name starts with R and ends with 1.
I agree with everything you say , , , but , , , , one look at a KTM Duke or a Ducati of any kind and , , , all your perfectly explained and logical explanations are : Out the window!!!!!! . . . I would say European bikes posses a rare mixture of of "SOUL" and "ATTITUDE" to them which will balance all their down sides (to some extent). I am a Kawasaki fanatic but also own and absolutely adore the Character of my KTM DUKE which is absolutely second to none.
@Nestor Jr. Abalos Yeah...I did a test drive on the duke single cylinder and it felt like a chain saw underneath and worse was how hot i felt in my seat...yikes..I bought a kawasaki z900 and i love it...been riding it for a year now..Japanese are the best
@@rigormortiz9114 It's that, Euro bikes aren't as reliable, not as available, not as much peformance per bang, and nobody knows about European bikes in Philippines.
My biscotti has been disturbed. Although, just like you said, it's all a numbers game.we should just choose whatever crotch rocket gets our jingles ringing and just enjoy the ride.
While I do love my Ducati SuperSport S, it isn't for everyone. It does take a month or more to get parts, there is only 1 dealer near me, and I do have to warm up the clutch before 2nd gear shifts easy. My last bike was a ninja and everything just worked. I am still happy with the Ducati, but I knew what I was in for when I bought it.
The reliability of the big 4 is what really stands out to me. I've had 2 old 175 2 strokes (a Yamaha and a kawi), the Yamaha's piston was literally rusted to the cylinder wall and I got it to run with zero new parts. The kawi just never needed anything, it just goes. My dad's DRZ400 started running weird once, so he changed the oil and plugs for the first time in 7 years. All it needed. My first bike was an 83 XR85, there's literally nothing to say here because it never needed anything, ever. I have a Yamaha quad from 97 that sat outside in a farmer's field its entire life, tank was full of water. I drained it from the plug in the float bowl and fired it up as if nothing was wrong. These things can make a Cummins look like a time bomb.
Japanese bikes are simple, generic, less complicated, yet super powerful.!! European bikes are loaded with patent techs, preparatory components, and everything is fragile and prone to malfunctioning. that's all about the comparison.!!
I've never owned a European bike, but I once owned a Harley and it was a similar headache. Once I had to disassemble the entire rear seat assembly just to change the battery. And, unlike my current Yamaha, I couldn't just pop the seat off. I had to take off the chain guard, which required two separate sized allen keys for either of the fasteners. All in all, 3 HOURS of work to change a goddamn battery. Oh but wait, once I got the equivalently sized battery, but the auto-zone version, not the Harley brand, the bike would randomly die at speeds of 60mph and up. In other words, buy Japanese! My XSR900 hasn't let me down once, and my Honda XR650L was a total indestructible beast... until I killed it. RIP.
3 Hours to battery swap seems like a you problem and not a harley problem. People do it in 20~30 minutes. Also i dont know what fuckin harley you're talking about because most of their bikes have a side cover for electronics below the seat, where the battery lives.
FranBunny, I thought it was me too until I researched the topic further. To be fair, the harley I had was shit-tier (a 2015 Street 750), but I shit you not it was as painful as I laid out. Changing batteries, oil, lubing the chain, etc. all take less than an hour on my current bike.
My Honda CBR needed nothing but oil changes, brake bleed, battery, new anti freeze and tires within the first 7 years and 20,000 miles. Something a European bike owner never says.
I ride a Triumph personally and I must admit you are correct my friend. I still love my Speed Four and don’t mind the higher maintenance, getting parts for it though sucks big time.
eliepouet Agreed. I ride a Moto Guzzi California 1400. So far, parts aren’t an issue - but the maintenance is pricey and there’s only 2 dealerships where I live. And I live in Toronto.
I'm a german engineer and biker... I can totally agree with you. European bikes aren't bad, but they are expensive and hard to maintain. Even in europe. BMW is a bunch of rich snobs. Doesn't matter if it's one of their cars or bikes. They are extremely expensive once you have to visit a shop and they are especially designed to not beeing able to maintain/repair them on your own.. I currently drive a Kawaski, had another kawasaki before, two Hondas and a Daelim (korean) 125cc bike. But i have to admit, that KTM (Austria, neighbour of germany) are extremely good in their class of Enduro end touring machines. KTM bikes run as smooth as a Swiss watch but still have character. Especially in the 125cc class, which is widely used by younger people in Europe due to the local laws. The Yamaha YZF 125 and the KTM Duke 125 started a whole new Era of quality in the 125cc class. Kawaski then followed and even Daelim caught up a bit. Before the year 2005,every 125cc compared was childsplay.
World SBK does show Ducati in a good light. Admittedly one could argue the regs were written in their favour. That is, until Jonathan Rea came along on the Kawasaki.
Personally I'm a Honda guy. Raced Honda dirt bikes into my teens then graduated to street racing [being an a-hole] after hopping on my first CBR-RR. After all of that (And still loving them Liter bikes) I'd have to go with older BMWs being Sooooo easy to maintain.
I have a 20 year old Honda xr400r that gets dropped regularly, fell off my trailer when an old strap broke, gets abused on the trail, misses service intervals, uses the cheapest diesel oil I can find and always is there for me -- I have spent about 500 dollars in parts and repairs in three years of ownership-- go big red
Reliability was the single most important factor when I chose my Honda CB 500X. I have complete trust that this bike will not shit the bed on me 150 miles from home. How is it the Euro bikes have such prestigious reputations despite their crappy reliability?
I can agree about reliability to an extent, but after owning a Tuono after about 15 japanese bikes over the years i know Aprilia is on the same reliability level and the detail level on Aprilia has impressed me. I think newer Ducatis also has improved a lot. BMW's i'm not so sure about but they are probably getting better.
9:53 hey thats Faisal khan from India , he is pretty famous motovlogger and vehicle reviewer in India, I think he has like close to 1.2 mil subs in total
Absolutely the Panigale recall number 6 already that's a typical Italian motocycle they look beautiful but spend most of it life on the side of the road or in the garage. 6 recalls that's pathetic for a 50 K bike.
😂 Really? How old is panigale? barely 10 years. How old is Fireblade/GSX1000? 30 years? Japanese bikes/vacuum cleaners are massive jokes. Panigale and in-line vacuum cleaners that Japanese make are different animals. If Japanese were to make and advanced bike like Panigale, they'd have recalled every single unit. And what was Panigale's recall reason again? BTW you won't dare to speak about Aprilia and BMW?? Scared? 😂
Parts availability, reliability and maintenance are why I bought an FZ-10 over a Tuono. I can afford the repair costs, I just didn’t want to wait a week to get the bike diagnosed, 3 weeks for parts to come in and a week for my bike to get fixed. With the Yamaha dealership they usually do diagnostics within a couple days, most parts are on hand, longest it takes for parts to come in if needed is a week and the bike gets fixed in less than a week.
The problem with you loving triumph is your name is yammie for Yamaha. Also, I was looking for an adventure touring motorcycle for under 10,000.00 my choices were a $9,000 2014 Super Tenere with 26,000 miles or a 9500 ducati Multistrada GT with 13180 miles. My wife preferred the Ducati HARD, and right now, she makes more money than me. So she agreed to pay maintenance. We are on a west coast tour at the moment. We went over 900 miles in our first 24 hours of ownership (we mentioned that to a friend and he mentioned how close we came to Iron Butt status if only we went another 70 miles!!). Headed home now, but the multi has been great. I am so worried through when the piper starts to call.
I wish I could argue you're points but I can't. Luckily I let my heart make my decisions instead of my brain. I currently own 2 Triumphs, 1 Ducati, 1 KTM and a Harley and I'm lusting over an Aprilia Tuono 1100 Factory.
I absolutely agree!! Try comparing say a Sport Touring Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX to a BMW R1250RT-: the SX is faster, more powerful and is a fraction of the cost. The RT looks and feels good and comfortable but is overtaken by the SX at so many levels. To be sure, BMW makes good cars and good bikes but Kawasaki have got the balance between cost, reliability, value for money and above all pride of ownership. Well done with the video.
was talking to a Aprilia owner the other day, he had his for only for 4 week from the show room. 1st week all the electrical wiring court fire took it back they put all new wiring in took them 2 weeks then two day after getting it back the chain and sprocket broke took two more weeks to fix no parts in Australia he just got it back and is selling it LOL
My next bike will be a Japanese bike. Just can't avoid the fact that they are much more reliable and parts are much cheaper. Also given where I live it's a no brainer. There are no dealerships here and mechanics operate out of little garages.
"Soul" seems to be that fuzzy term that is used to excuse the unreliability of a European bike. "My Ducati/MV/Aprillia breaks down all the time, but it has soul." Little comfort there.
This whole video is stupid from the start, ducati is a luxury item, you buy it when you got everything else going for you in your life, same goes for other EU models. I don't have everything going for me right now so I would look at things such as price and reliability and would buy Japanese. If I had money I would buy the bike that I like the most and that would probably be mvagusta or ducati. Japanese made much prettier bikes 10-15 years ago
Yammi, I have owned 11 motorcycles over the years, 9 of which were Yamaha’s, 1 Honda ( which I currently own) and 1 KTM. They have been a variety of models, both dirt and street. And the only one I regret purchasing was the KTM! Though I thought it was going to be the shizzle, it was more like the fizzle! So, no argument from me, Honda & Yamaha are my recommendation!
I never owned a Japanese bike but I did own a kymco agility 50 (not very agile) as my first "bike" and it was a mess. The valves were a mess, it only started first try 10% of the time, the oil was used up stupid fast and what finally killed it was when suddenly when I was riding into college the bike just completely cut out. Turns out the piston was only creating about 10 psi in the cylinder head. It was only like £500 used but stay away from kymco. I'm now riding a husqvarna svartpilen 125 and with the exception of a faulty battery (because the bike was sitting on the show room floor for a yeat) which I replace with one the dealers sent me for free and the fact that an already low powered bike has to be restricted for the first 620 miles to break in the engine I am very happy with the bike. For context I live in the uk with dumb bike license laws so the kymco was a 49cc scooter which was limited to 45km/h (like 27mph?) and I got it at 16 on a cbt and the husqvarna is a 125 which I also got on a cbt now that I'm 17 (you have to be 17 if you want anything bigger than a 50)
Motorcycles are a fairly popular form of personal transportation in Japan (due to traffic congestion and tight spaces). That tells me dudes building Japanese bikes have a love for the machines they build. I think that translates into the finished product. Bikes like the GSX-R, ZX-R, CBR-RR, and YZF-R being labeled as "soulless" isn't a fair assessment. At the end of the day...some love went into that thing.
Seriously. The engineering DNA of their machines is just as storied as Ducati or BMW. The design teams put out Rune and Valkyrie. Their workers, and quality assurance, practice strict discipline. Not gonna disparage other brands, but there is no lack of soul in Honda.
I have my Ducati Strretfighter for six years now and almost 25000 km on it. Never had any problems. Just give the bike the service when it needs it. And you will never have any problems
In case you are an Eurosnob, did not watch the video and are already criticizing it, here is a summary: 1) Price - Acquisition costs are way lower while the performance (think racing derived) is still there. 2) Maintenance - Lower maintenance costs. Ease of repair.....However repairs are not needed as much since: 3) Reliability - Japanese at the top, Americans in the Middle (surprise!), Europeans at the bottom. 40% chance of a required shop repair visit for BMW & Ducati at 4 years. A BMW is 4 times more likely to visit the repair shop than a Yamaha. And Yamahas do get thrashed at high RPMs....so save your useless, non-factual and emotionally compromised comments. 4) Parts - Japanese sell more bikes, ergo they also sell more parts, economies of scale. Plus there are more accessories available out there in the market made by 3rd parties. 5) Variety - All kinds, types, sizes, prices, colors, etc of bikes. When it comes to motorcycles, bow your heads in salute to the Land of the Rising Sun. Hold the Engineers high at the podium followed by the top decision makers and marketeers who allowed this to happen along with a positive Workers Union relationship. At the bottom of their pile are the bean-counters and lawyers, which in a country like the USA, along with bad labor relations have virtually destroyed the passenger auto industry in the USA,. 1) Ducati is always Ferrari-sexy (like the best looking and banging prostitute....who is loaded with syphilis) 2) Triumph offerings are unique and dominating (675, Rocket III) but are MGB-reliable.... 3) ....Which also goes for KTM, kind of like Germanic origins but with a flair for the Italian. 4) Augusta Brand is a Brutally gold clad ornamentation to be showcased and parked in the gardens of a Lake Cuomo Estate. 5) Then we have the true competitors in the form of BMW & Aprilia; they are still more expensive in every way (purchasing, maintenance, parts), have a smaller dealer/shop networks, have less certified mechanics to work on and are less reliable.
This question is so objective. I have owned eleven Japanese bikes and two European bikes. The Japanese bike have to be broken down even more in to four categories. I have found that Hondas properly cared for will run forever. I put 80,000 trouble free miles on a CB1 and then sold it in perfect running condition. I have had a Kawasaki that had all kinds of problems and the one that went 30,000 miles with no problems. An R1 that was a total piece of crap, after 3,000 miles it had broken down so many times I lemon lawed it. I rode a RZ350 for two years and only had one issue. Suzuki I can’t rate, I only had one a GSXR 600, I rode it around 6,000 miles with no problems other than having to replace the fork seals. I found that Honda builds the best of Japanese bikes. I own a CB1000R currently and it is a very fine motorcycle. European bikes, I owned a Duke 690 and this was a total departure from what I was used to. It was a total kick in the pants, so much fun to ride. More fun in a tight canyon then anything I had ever ridden before. But what a piece of crap! Service was twice that of a Japanese bike and it only had one cylinder. I had to have the tank replaced three times in 10,000 miles. Bad tank molding would cause fuel leakage Also the drive sprocket constantly became loose and flattened the retaining washer to the point it wore out the engine seal and sprayed oil on the rear tire (oh s**T). I now own an Aprillia Tuono 1000 along with my Honda. The valve adjustment is $950.00 and I did an oil change on it and that was $120.00. The Honda oil change cost about $60.00. Ya European bike cost more that’s for sure. Lets talk about the fun factor the entire reason we ride. My Duke as big as a piece of crap that it is, was legendary among local rides here in SOCAL. In tight canyons ware I live I devastated most of the local riders on 600, 750 and 1000cc bikes (up to 100mph). A lot of riders knew who I was and could not believe a single cylinder bike could go so dam fast. My Tuono vs the CB1000R. The Honda has a better feeling clutch and is way better around town and in traffic. Also it is no slouch in the canyons. But!!!! the Aprillia is stupid fast, handles unworldly and is so confident in the canyons it is like riding a turbo magic carpet. It belongs on another world, it is hands down the most fun motorcycle I have ridden! Finally, this why we ride, hart pounding, adrenalin inspiring don’t let you wife what you did fun. Maybe its not fair to most people because I can afford both but I am keeping each, but if I had to chose I am going European. Creds: I have owned thirteen motorcycles , riding 32 years and over 250,000 miles.
Good Video and correct on every point.I'm 73 and have own 42 motorcycles in my lifetime and most of the brands you mention here.including a Moto Guzzi.The Japanese still is the best all around deal there is.The bike i have now will be my last,which is a ZX-14r.I don't know where you can beat it at that price point.
@mld KTM: "Supersport bikes with 200 hp are ridiculous. We are discontinuing the RC8." Also KTM: *makes SuperDuke R, a naked bike that's gonna straight up melt your face with 141nm of torque*
Lol I own a Yamaha 115cc underbone cub ( Yamaha fz115). Modified with new head, cdi, upgraded the piston size. Tuned until 150cc, now it has been 4 years using it daily to work. Cheap, reliable and customizable. Top speed reached 148kmh.
If your the yammie noon then I'm the yammie geezer. I'm on my third Yamaha of my life, a 650 Special and two first gen R1,one which I'm riding currently (highly modded). I ride motorcycles exclusively as I haven't owned a four wheeler in 20 years. Yep YN, I love my Japanese bike,do all my maintenance from tunes to total rebuilds. Sidenote: I'm 70 years old in three weeks!. Ride safe buddy!.
I AM european and yes EVEN from the holy motherland of BMW, Germany. Do I have a Kawasaki? Of course! Why? They are better. Who said that? YAMMIE MA BOI ;D
Everything Honda makes is just practical. From their cars to their bikes. The engines are fucking bulletproof, relatively cheap, yet still reasonably powerful. The only downside is that they're just kinda boring. Everything aside from maybe the Monkey and Grom is just purely utilitarian built for maximum efficiency, but lacking character.
But that is what after market is for to personalize it. And when for 50k you can make boring looking supra eat Lamborghini and Ferrari that cost 300k plus fun lol
Bang on the money with this review mate!....exactly the same comparison is true with our four-wheeled counterparts. Great video, which will add value with new bikers entering the market.
