MOTORBIKES are NOT SELLING *full video not the one youtube deleted* 

Some folks buy motorcycles that are more than they can handle , and scare themselves so they swap , others find the bike they brought lacking , but I have massive fun on my Triumph speed R , especially in track mode mpg sucks in that mode but it's massive fun 😁

Left me hanging, but found this one 👍

Well done you for representing motorcycle

It's not that they are not interested, it's just no longer an easy and cheap route to personal transport. I'm 37 and have rode bikes all my life. Consequently, my sons are into bikes too and will likely also ride. The thing is, it's more difficult and fairly expensive to get a licence now. That was true for my generation too but insurance prices are even steeper now. In the 70s and 80s it was common for young people to ride because it was cheap and easy to get into. Nowadays it's more niche and people only jump through all the hoops to ride if they are passionate enough.

I noticed that young or old, less people are now interested in groceries. Groceries were a staple of life back in the days too.

@@Anonymouseys im surprised more young people don't get bikes tbh cause a CBT is a lot easier and cheaper to pass than a car license and insurance is around 1/4 of the price of car insurance

People don't like a bit of discomfort these days. Most bikes are probably cbt legal bought by teens waiting to get a car licence.

​@@TheLiamis cbt bikes are expensive vs an old 600cc bike. Often the condition is poor. They tend to be a bit slow for keeping up with cars now. A 125cc is a bit of a hard sell. Also the CBT expires every 2 years. And they get stolen for a past time

Bikes are not my thing, too scary even though I raced cars 😂 . I’m With all bikers on this one , plod and the government don’t want us to have fun , or freedom or any sort of passion or hobby .

I'm not too fond of them....psychopaths and narcissists all.

@@wearetheremnants1615 Basically the only fkn comment that is actually on point here. Well said mate.

They hate and fear us.

Haha good point that. Our roads are shocking.

That's the reason why I rode a BMW F650 commuting in London 30 years ago. Bloody pot-holes.

Let me see …… expensive to buy, expensive to insure, expensive to service ….. So why would we when the government has screwed us for so long we can’t pay our ordinary bills - plus new legislation mean it’s on a glide path to distraction!

Yeah, I haven't a clue why sports bikes are on the rise again with the state of our shite roads. I'm glad I had my Honda Fireblade when the roads were better.

​@@LessBeardI couldn't imagine riding a sports bike now. Probably crack the wheel on the first decent pot hole.

@@CandyMan2001 that's in the future; the nonsense this twerp is spouting is about now.

Thats what they want its deliberate

Track days then👍 I know a few people who gave up ridding on the road and just go to track days instead.

Do you mean 'R1' ?

if he has one then ride it he will get jealous

As a motorcyclist I can corroborate that the prevelance of potholes is becoming a very serious safety issue. I deliberatley avoid some routes, even if it adds time to my journey because it is impossible to avoid the potholes with potholes in and around them. The state of our roads is shocking (and deadly).

Yes, tests used to be simple but still not too outrageous for the enthusiast. I have a wife & 2 adult kids: we all have car licences and three of us have full bike licences too. Seven tests taken, seven tests passed first time. Some sort of record?

Firstly, I am from Australia, so will not exactly be comparing 'apples with apples'. Way back in the 70's when I got my motorcycle licence, it was 'go and do a theory test, read an eye chart, and they give you your L-plates'. Then go ride! A month or more later, come back and do a 'test' ... where the examiner stands on the front steps of the Motor Registry and watches you ride up and down the street, do a U-turn, and then gives you a licence. You can then ride ANY bike available in the country. So easy. And cheap. But we also averaged 100 L and P (Provisional) riders killed each year (in just the state of NSW). So, a couple of decades later, they decided to address that by, firstly, implementing a 250cc max for L and P platers, and then by introducing a 'Pre-Learners' Course and a 'Pre-Licence' Course. So, how did this go? L and P rider deaths dropped from an average of 100 per year, to an average of 1. That's right, ONE! I'd call that pretty successful. A bit more hassle than it had been? Sure. But for 99 less killed? Probably worth it. (Oh, and more people were getting licences than had been doing so the couple of decades before, so it really wasn't turning people away from bikes). But, and this could be the clincher, the Govt heavily subsidised the cost of the two training courses (because it was done as an actual 'road safety measure', not the usual 'revenue raiser'). The Pre-learner course costs the equivalent of 55 Pound and the Pre-Licence course the equivalent of 120 Pound. If you cannot afford 200 Pound to get your licence, you probably can't afford to buy and run a bike.

i resemble that remark - i'm 62 and just bought a new honda myself😀

Yep, you've summed it up well. We are an aging bunch. Test cost and risk aversion. Youngsters are just not joining the motorcycle ranks. I recently visited the Stafford Classic Motorcycle Show. Age demographic of the crowd was 60+ The wife and I will keep riding as long as we can. Will it be health or legislation that finally puts an end to our beloved pastime and transport??

​​​@@Banditmanuk Age has meant I had to completely re-appraise my motorcycling use case. Big, tall and heavy bikes I can't manage these days. I still ride, but a different kind of bike for a different kind of experience. I stay off the "big" roads and enjoy the back lanes. Getting my knee down has given way to a 40mph bimble - enjoying the journey rather than nailing the next apex😂

Cheap if you buy a 125 scooter (2015). I got an aprilia sr 125 to nip about on. tax is 20 quid and insure it about £80 a year. (I dont keep in outside)

I guess they are only trained to address feelings and not facts.

Not cheap if you own a high end BMW, like my M1000R. Owned for one year and fully comp cost me around £700 for the first year. Come renewal a few weeks ago, couldn't get a quote at all. Eventually managed to find an insurer who quoted me over £1000 for Third Party Only. I was close to selling the bike. But couldn't. My bike keeps me sane.

​​@HyperBiker Maybe buy a slightly smaller displacement bike. My Triumph Tiger Sport 660 is only $270 a year for full coverage. If you still prefer a high-end bike, you just have to accept that insurance is going to cost a lot.

I thought I wanted an electric bike... I loved the idea of being silent and fast and frugal. But then I learned that having an electric vehicle means you don't own a vehicle, but instead have software gatekeeping property for you. I'm very happy now with my roaring loud 44 year old bike. Still pretty cheap in gas, even.

I'd go with that. Battery bikes are shit to me. I'd rather give up.

The problem with electric bikes is the size of the vehicle - batteries are heavy and not very energy dense (compared to petrol), and the faster charging systems takes up room. Most eMotorbikes at the moment can't do greater than 100 miles (if even that) and take a good while to charge. This is a huge barrier as there's a physical limit to the batteries that can be installed. It means anything other than short commuting is out of the question, and at the prices of current eMotobikes, that makes them an incredibly expensive short range vehicle. Also, bikes have become more of a leisure activity over the years, and so this commuter range is pointless if it's not being used for commuting. I use my bike for commuting, but also for the odd tour in Europe. It's not feasible to do that on an electric, so no way I'd be looking at one either.

I just turned 65, have been riding off road since age 8, and on the street since age 16. I have owned somewhere around 5 motorcycles and have ridden around a million miles. You couldn't pay me enough to ride some battery powered abomination. I won't even ride a bike that isn't carbureted. Fortunately I have several. I have lived my whole life around the internal combustion engine, both cars and motorcycles. I spent my entire adult life as an internal combustion vehicle mechanic. You can take that battery powered TRASH and shove it where the sun don't shine.

I love my HD Livewire. I can do 500km in a day but yes, with multiple fast charges so the trips are different. As it’s a first generation, second and third gen will be amazing.

Used to ride to work everyday on my motorbike. 20 minutes of pure joy riding down side roads through the Berkshire countryside. It was all downhill once I got off the bike… 😮

My boys the same 👍

We rarely go out in the summer, congested roads, impatient drivers, inconsiderate parking, dangerous drivers. It's Summer lockdown for us.

I spent 20 years with nothing but bikes for transport, out of choice. Road in all weathers, including snow. Which is... exciting... on a GSXR750.

@@fredmercury1314 Hardcore - although English snow not like Northern counterparts 😁 In Finland we are out as soon as the roads are clear of the stuff but there is still plenty of it on the ground with a white scenery flying by. We pack it up when the roads can no longer remain ice / snow free.

We can't really have nice things anymore 😢

Agreed, the police and courts have let this spiral out of control, they couldn't give any more of a crap if they tried. As you say if someone robbed a post office of £500 they would likely get a meaningful sentence, but if 4 scrotes rob your bike at knifepoint, threatening to stab you they normally only get a light sentence ( if convicted at all ). The only time the police show any interest in motorcycle theft is if the stolen bike is used in an anti social way, or to commit a secondary crime like mobile phone theft

i left a similar comment and your totally right. im actually not buying my dream bike because of theft im just gonna buy a scooter thats not as much of a target. car theft is becoming more common these days ....... literally people follow you home and then jump out and pull a knife on you to get the keys.

So true I did mine for my retirement which won’t happen now as the government has risen the age limit again 👎🏻😡🤬🤬🤬

100% right I did mine 2 years ago & cost £1100 for 3 days training & tests, took me nearly a year to save for it 😂

I did my test with the TA and cost me nothing er, in 1992😮 I would love a bike again - I had a Kawasaki, a long list of BMW’s, 2 MV Augusta’s and a Harley Davidson but couldn’t afford any bike these days. I also have a list of injuries inflicted by moron Road users, so as you get older, you don’t ‘bounce’ so easily anymore

Whereas when I was a teenager in the 1970's I don't recall there even being professional motorcycle instructors, at least not where I lived. You got a provisional licence, some L plates, and off you went.

@@michael.randall5034 Absolutely, i agree. On Monday a driver decided to do a 4 point turn outside a school spilling out small children around 3pm, causing a big back log of traffic behind her - I was shaking my head as there was a roundabout she could of used about 2 minutes behind me. I reckon her licence came out of a Christmas cracker - Outrageous.

@@GeoffBuysCars Could have both in those days.

There has always been crap drivers out there. However, improving riding/driving skills does reduce the number of altercations with other road users.

I've encountered the same problem with my Africa Twin Adv Sport. Survived 3 theft attempts. Fortunately, proved to be too big and heavy for the scrawny little sh1ts to run off with.

I have an old R1100GS , love it .

There's a '98 1100rt for sale by me for $800. I'm tempted.

I live in Scotland, in the summer all the Continental riders are over here :) I was up at Glencoe at the weekend, it's still fabulous on a bike

Just watch out for police Scotland… they love using unmarked cars to set up speed traps for revenue raising purposes in the Glencoe area especially!

It was a lot more fun then and even the 80s too... then the bikes got really fast. My old CB750FouK was 113 MPH standard, Yoshied it, 127MPH got a bit of a shock when I bought a second hand GPZ1000RX and 160MPH no mods on it.. then the 1992 CBR900RRn which was even faster... until the government made the later versions 13BHP less upped the CC size from 883 to 913 and doubled the insurance premium.. I still ride my 893CC and love it to bits. A lot harder to find an empty road to play on it though.

This definitely happens in the UK too.

​@@TigermotoOnly idiots do it now. Because it's a six point/£200 fine. And those six points will probably double your insurance for the next 5 years. So it can cost thousands in the end. Seriously not worth it.

Same in the UK my friend. Drivers don’t look for us, roads filled with holes, doubling insurance costs, rip off fuel costs. My bike was a second vehicle I used for fun days out and the odd commute to work. Sorry kids, will have to wait for next year now as insurance is too much. But then the issue is losing your no claims after 2 years of no insurance so you get screwed again.

@@Haawser They must think it's worth the risk as i see tons doing it, some even blatantly holding the phone to their ear, i drive a 44 Ton artic so have a good view, a lot holding the phone down by the gearstick, i think the attitude of most is what's the chance of getting caught, you hardly see any police cars on the roads.

Blame the environmental brigade. All modern machines have so much electronic wizardry built in that they are impossible to work on at home. But still they achieve no better consumption than my old 600cc twin of the early 60's.

Same here. Tried to get my carbs serviced, no garage in my area wanted to do it. So I learned to do it myself.

@@gofres This is the best way really, I started tinkering and pulling things apart when younger and now I think the only thing I've yet to do and i'm slightly worried about doing is the valve clearance and adjustment etc, everything else has been learnt from trial and error or handy youtube vids, a lot of it seems more daunting than it actually is once you get into it.

It is probably money... Bloody expensive, I did CBT but then passed driving test and car seemed more convenient. My collegue (apprentice) I think he just turned 18 has a car driving on provisional ATM... Rich parents.

It’s all down to money sadly. I know young lads who would love to get into bikes, but it’s just not going to happen for them. It’s really sad. Best advice for a young person now is to look far beyond these shores. Too many middlemen wanting a cut these days.

My kids, now 22, 24 & 29 couldn't wait to pass their tests and get cars, it's like a passport to adult world and society is making it ever more difficult for kids to make that move. Sadly, despite having motorbikes & scooters around them their entire lives, none of them is remotely interested in 2 wheel transportation.

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t want to get their license. They just don’t see themselves owning a vehicle until they are much older because it’s too expensive.

@@pachy444 You make a fine point, but I still find it mildly amusing when someone says a form of transport has a season, as if it was like grouse shooting.

Smart move since they won't be selling them anymore (at least street legal versions).

Sport bikes are great for touring

I second the idea that licensing is putting off new riders. I've looked into it a couple of times and frankly I don't really know what's going on with it so I haven't bothered.

Yep its defo the parents scare mongering

I am a boomer, my best mate at technical college bought a suzuki 380 ram air when he was 21. He overtook a vehicle on a busy street and went head on into an articulated lorry and died. Nonetheless, I own a brand new Kawasaki 900 RS SE ' yellow ball ' and a Honda cbr 600 f now at 65. I have had my moments, you either live and learn or die trying. Before the convoluted tests, young bikers were dying at an astounding rate. All I had to do on my test was to ride around two roundabouts, identify a few road signs and stop safely, when the riding examiner jumped out from behind a bus stop, literally!

yup mine has doubled this year .

@@DamnItCarl- Yes mate its a ball breaker. last year I thought I would get another bike this year that's been binned now I can just about justify keeping one bike on the road . I got the bike to save some money on fuel last year as insurance and tax was cheap now this years insurance was only £40 less than the car. They really want us off the roads. crooks. theft is out of control and the police do nothing. I was told that for every pound the insurance firms took in they paid out £1.40 so I get why its gone up but still wtf.

My insurance actually went down this year, no haggling required. Must have been the lucky one.

Yes there will ,the Bill Gates Bug Burgers .

The one with the cable - operated front disk brake? As a short haul commuter that was a very good machine, very economical, simple to maintain, and you even had a tacho. Hardly a motorway cruiser (max speed was in the order of 60 mph I believe), but those machines were as reliable and durable as the venerable Cub 90 (which could knock up well over 100,000 miles if cared for).

My assumption has been that, looking at how cheap good strong secondhand bikes are, you don't get very much more value for money buying a £10k sport tourer, than a secondhand FJR1300 for £2500. I remember an interview with Yamaha's chief designer, 20 odd years ago, he said one of the problems with their sport tourer lineup was that people still had a lot of affection for old FJ's and, old FJ's clocked up huge mileages, so selling an FJ rider a newer bike without offering much more in the way of enjoyment was a difficult prospect

At 20mph, many folk will be wondering, what’s the point of a motorbike?

@@chrisbarron5861 That's true but many are lured into purchasing shiny new bikes on a cheap PCP deal and p/exing them after 3 years which then floods the used market. At the end of the day it's all about supply and demand. There's a huge supply with a disproportionate demand.

EU limited them to 45kph and removed the 125cc license from being included in the class b driver's license. Before that, many people could buy a small bike/scooter that would rarely use any fuel and drive them on the road at the speed of the traffic. Now you either need a separate license or you'll have a slow scooter that is dangerous because everyone will overtake you, even inside the city.

Seen that Honda are making an updated Trail 125/CT125 Hunter Cub step-through. Looks fun, but not coming to the UK.
