Zack, thank you for your unique, thoughtful, and experienced insights into the bikes you've ridden this year and over the last four years. You have a viewer and reader for as long as you choose to create content. You are appreciated. As for 2025 wish list items, I would love to get your thoughts on the Yamaha XSR-900. It doesn't seem to get any attention from major outlets or smaller channels and as a shortlisted bike against a few you've already looked at it would be very helpful. Plus, I just think the bike looks great.
sorry, rave reviews, could also try fast bikes channel, all the ones mentioned are british channels and highly regarded amongst bikers here.not johnny come lately take the cash type reviews.
Zak, your comments and ride to work test are the best on the internet,you tube. Most people seem frightened to express an opinion, which in a lot of ways is what it is all about. The same bike doesn't suit everyone.
Almost all people doing bike reviews are getting sponsored. Those that dont get sponsored do not want to say anything negative that would frighten potential future sponsors. Thus everything most reviewers say must be positive. When you watch a bike review know that at some level you are getting gas lighted. I watch alot of reviews but I am extremely cynical of what they say. I usually dont listen to what they are saying because its mostly b.s. but instead watch them to really check out the bike and build a conclusion based off of my own experience and knowledge.
@alozborne -True, paid a touch more than that for my 2024 R1(Raven) otd, but that bike was the only thing I wanted brand new, and I absolutely love it. That said, the prices of new vehicles(including motorcycles) has gotten to the point of being absolutely astronomical. I guess pick your poison. 😅
Perhaps the final daily rider of the year needs some price categories... Instead of Zach's favorite, who cares if it's unobtainable. How about Zach's favorite at each price level.
Dude, we should be thanking YOU, not the other way around. If I ever want to REALLY know what a bike is like, I look up your daily ride first. So thank you. You have helped me make many decisions, and discount many bikes from contention (we have the same use case, mostly).
Zack - you’re one of the most genuine, nicest guys on RUclips and I’m a big fan of your work. All the best for 2025 and thank you for all your content. Best wishes from Edinburgh, Scotland.
I joined the daily rider community in June! One of my first motorcycle vids I ever watched since I got into all this. Been great to share this space with you, Zack!
As a daily rider I would suggest to consider maintenance, reliability and long term dependency. Definitely there are certain brands that consider these
Seem to remember him addressing this once and stating that it's not feasible to review such things in the time they have the bikes. I can see that point, but also very much see yours. Certainly when you or I, as daily riders, shop for motorcycles this is something we consider. Not tryna daily ride an Italian without at least one backup bike, amirite? Turns out I do have a backup bike. A Honda. And what is it currently backing up? Another Honda. I like riding; (not wrenching.)
@@AselevID Not to assess the new vehicle, but just to consider things as a daily rider and for the position in the leaderboard-most people, including myself, might be watching to buy one, and people with hands-on experience could help us.
My favorite thing about this series is the fact that even with the reviews of bikes I have zero interest in, I can't look away. Your style and accessibility are second to none. Looking forward to the next Daily Rider video! Thank you.
Zach, another season of absolute top-tier commentary-genuine, skilled, and refreshingly unbiased. Feels like the kind of content I should be paying for. For 2025, how about the all-new Z900? Curious if it redeems itself. And the ZX-6R-long in the tooth, sure, but still a true gem in a vanishing category. It deserves the spotlight, and honestly, the internet needs you to give it the deep dive it deserves. May the inline-four sportbike scream on-thanks for keeping the passion alive!
Over 100 episodes now. Congrats. The old Harley was a handful but what a two wheeled piece of history. A very well cared for motorcycle. I can't wait to see what you ride and review next.
Another great year! Really nice work - thank you and Revzilla for this always anticipated show. Next year: BMW S1000XR please - just need you to somewhat validate my most recent purchase.
@@christopherjohnson3377 he’s done a bmw electric scooter, a vespa, the Navi, all in addition to the Grom and Metacycle. But I agree, I want to see the Honda ADV160
Mate- congrats to you and your team on the 100 episode milestone! It’s a tough job getting that leader board in shape, and you thread the needle very very well!
Excellent series. Yours is the best video motorcycle-review source that I watch on RUclips; I’ve followed your series from Day 1. You’re entertaining, consistent, and informative. I watch every video, even if I couldn’t care less about some of the bikes you review. I hope you can continue this for at least a few more years (I assume you’ll move on at some point). Cheers, and keep up your good work.
My vote is for the V100. Guzzi is pretty aggressive on rebates, etc. The MSRP always feels like a suggestion. I got my white base for around 13 otd. After a proper windscreen, heated grips, etc. I'm closer to 14 but it's a perfect commuter bike imo.
It’s a sexy bike for sure. I’d quite like to see a ’basso’ version of it sans active aero at a slightly lower price point. I mean, there’s the Stelvio (which I’d love to see on DR) but I’d still like to see the V100 get a few more SKUs (like the V85TT/Strada).
It’s a great bike with too many issues for 2024. I did a demo ride- the bikes were leaking oil and coolant and the transmission didn’t shift properly. Beautiful bike, lovely engine though.
Thanks to you, Ari, Spurgeon and the rest of the team for a great year of reviews and videos, it was throughly enjoyable! Blessings to you Zack and everybody else for 2025! ...this year I will try to hopefully get back on the saddle, but there are so many options...
Congratulations on 100 episodes, and thank you for recapping 2024 and sharing some of the criteria used in the Leaderboard. Re ADV bikes on the top of the list, didn’t a Honda Transalp make it at or near the top for 2023? I believe that bike is around 11k out the door, which feels like a fair deal for what you’re getting relative to other ADVs. For 2025, newer subscribers like myself could benefit from a walkthrough of your process, the elements you cover on the ride and why. Very good video journalism. Many thanks!
I am always happy to see a new daily rider video. It doesn't matter if it's a bike that I'm interested in or not, it's just fun to watch and you do such a great job, thanks.
I had 890 SMT as a wild card in my choices for new bike and ended up buying it (partly thanks to daily rider review). After one season and couple thousand km, I love that bike and now I want to learn to wheelie and back it in, so thanks Zack :D
Have you had any issues with it? The KTM issues I keep hearing about are keeping me away but it looks like such a fun bike and on super sale right now with KTM's financial ruins.
@@ganuvien I had it since June and made 8000 km on it. Before it was owned by dealership and it had 8k when I was buying it. Altogether the bike has 16k km and I had no issues. I also had the yearly service done on it few weeks back and nothing showed up. It is not super long period or mileage, but its all I can say. Personally I think the issues are blown out of proportions. It is true that there were/are issues with camshafts on certain models and it is also true that KTM has financial problems.
@@witchdoctor6502I think 8k km is not nothing. From what I have heard, there's KTM's out there that give their owners headaches much more often. Congrats on not getting a lemon.
Not blown out of proportion. But it's not just cam shafts, which is the issue shown the most in forum posts and headlines. These platforms will have leaking coolant from weak hose clamps and warped thermostat housing. Oil leaking from the valve cover. Immobiliser issues, blinker and brake light issues. Transmission falling out of second gear if you kick the shift lever too quickly. And flame outs in stop and go traffic because of euro 5 fueling. Your dealer owned bike was probably a trade in from an owner who got his bike repaired for the fifth time and said that's enough. He went through the growing pains and QA/QC'd the bike for you!
I rarely agree with the daily Rider picks. But I completely appreciate your effort and dedication riding all these bikes. I think you dont realize how vicariously we live through you, since most people wont have the opportunity to ride all these machines. I am pretty happy to been able to watch most of all episodes and deeply enjoy your content, regardless where my own opinion may land. Hope to see more in 2025 and best of holidays to you. Would love to see a Daily Ride of Speed Triple 1200 RS and the new Honda Hornet 1000 SP when available.
Finally someone appreciates how good the 890 smt is. Went from Tuono 660 Factory to 2023 S1000RR to 890 smt. The 890smt is really underrated. Extremely fun and very very capable road bike.
I really enjoy your insight, knowledge, and a little bit of comedy mixed in on your daily ride. I gain a lot of insight and really appreciate you doing what you do. Cheers! 🍻
Would love to see you cover the DR-Z4s. The DRZ has been a staple around town and trail bike in my garage and would love to see your thoughts on the new updates. As well as a little more screen time for Suzuki offerings next year 🤙
I second this, I just bought an old DR-Z this year and then the new one came out. Not in the market for a brand new bike anymore, but it would be interesting to see how the DR-Z handles fuel injection with modern emissions controls.
One man's opinion. An opinion based in years of motorcycle riding, reviewing, racing, writing. A very valuable opinion. An opinion which comes about through much consideration and consternation. A balanced opinion. An opinion we don't have to agree with, but it carries significant weight and an incredible amount of substance and entertainment. I never miss a DR episode.
Hi. TY for your daily rider series. This has been interesting to watch over the past few months. Due to the encouragement I've gotten by watching your videos of getting into motorcycling(on top of years of enjoying watching f9 videos), I've finally bought my first motorcycle (the speed 400, Due to availability in nearby shops and so on). TY so much! Hopefully I don't regret buying a bike so low on your list :P (but my budget was pretty close to 5k, so what you gonna do)
Zack and Ari make watching and listening about trends, products, and motorcycle technology well worth being a subscriber. Continued success gents, continued success. 🤜🏼
Thanks for this 2024 season of Daily Rider! It's a real pleasure to hear your thoughts & opinions on those bikes. Your giggles every time you pop a wheelie is priceless 😁 Suggestions for 2025: it would be nice to hear from you and watch you try out daily ride "classic machine" of the 20th century 😎
I've been watching Daily Rider and RevZilla for a while now and it's really getting me into all kind of bikes I wouldn't have an interest by myself. Of course your choices are partial and personnal, but it always comes with the honesty of recognizing it. You and Ari are one of my favourite in the youtube motorbikes "game", you're real enthusiasts and share it perfectly and that's why you came this way up to 100 episodes and more to come. And this year you also participated in my reflexion to switch bike from a 2017 Triumph Street Triple 765 R to the KTM 890 SMT. The Triumph was a better bike in many ways but the SMT is a lot of fun for a fairly more comfortable bike. To me it's already a pricy bike but that's the one I wanted after a testing I did at a bike festival in my country. So I looked for an used one from 2023 to get it at a more reasonnable price and with the scandalous shifter/cruise control options already paid for the same price as any other used model. I miss the sound of the triple engine and parallel twin are huhh not good regarding sound, but the rest of the bike I enjoy it a lot already. The plan is also that i'll use it occasionnaly as a light tourer on vacations and I think it'll be enough on french and european roads, at least It should be better than a naked roadster for that. Thank you and ride safe everyone ✌ *I hope my english is not too broken, I tried to pay attention.
Thank you Zak for all the great videos you gave us this year. I really want to repeat what others have said about how important and in this day and age, refreshing to have someone give their honest opinion on not just what’s right but what could be better on the bikes you’ve ridden. All the best in the new year and hope to see a lot more of your rides to work.
@@paulburgess3088 Ahhh the good old high spec R1100 RS, no ride by wire, no ABS, no ride modes, no phone connectivity, no sat.nav, no fully adjustable suspension, and yet +500lb kerb weight. I totally see that your relic of a bike compares with the 2025 GS 1300...... and 280.000km in 32 yrs is only about 5.500 MLS a year - so no wonder nothing goes wrong.
@@turdferguson5108 Point taken, but at it's heart it has that wonderful boxer engine. And @billscott1601 was denigrating all BMWs. And those 280,000km were ridden in NZ South Island not American freeways. A straight road here is about 5km long (tongue in cheek), so the engine, suspension and gearbox get plenty of work.
Those are great numbers and good life for the bike but, it isnt as if their arnt 100 vstroms floating around doing the same exact thing. With the small exception vstroms dont cost 30k now. @paulburgess3088
Happy New Year Zack and thanks for wrapping up another Daily Rider year! I would like to see the “Triumph Bonneville T120 Black” as your daily rider in 2025. You have already featured the T100, but they are not identical.
Thank you Zak for your great work. I appreciate your passion and honesty during the reviews. I know one thing and that is I will not be doing wheelies at almost 69. I do like watching you do them, but I prefer to keep my front wheel on the ground. Dave from Nova Scotia, Canada
Love the series! Keep it going. Another series idea is the best economical bike in each category. And maybe some mods to fix flaws. Either way I’ll be watching.
Can’t wait for next year. Thans for makin my winters bearable. It’s a bit chilly here in Finland for at least six months a year. So lots of time to watch these great videos 👍. Keep up the good work. BTW thanks to You and Ari, I bought a bike recommended by You two. Used but good 😂.
I owned an "adventure" bike for a decade. It drained my desire to ride. I sold it, bought an RnineT Pure, did a series of sensible mods and have ridden more and further in 6 months than I did in 6 years previously. Don't be a fashion victim, kids. Buy the bike that stirs desires, not what you "think" you should buy. While I love what Zak and Ari do, picking the R1300 as the "best" bike of the year is utterly inexplicable to me. Normal people can't afford it.
A Versys 650 “drained” your “desire to ride”. Fair enough. But does that really damn adventure bikes? I think not. There are plenty of more exciting and capable adventure bikes than the Kawi 650. And nobody riding a Versys 650 is a “fashion victim” 😂. The R1300GS may be utterly inexplicable to you, but Zack clearly and objectively articulated why it was the BEST of the year, covered the cost question, and spoke of other value conscious options in a very objective manner. What more could be asked? And there are plenty of “normal” people riding GS, SAS, Tigers and the like. Not like the RnineT is bargain basement my friend. The good thing is we have choice, and we all can pick what turns the crank.
Fortunately I can afford a r1300gs and got one this year (2024). I absolutely love it - been riding for 40 years and have owned various bikes and the gs is fantastic. Can’t wait for spring to roll around to start riding it again.
@@davidkendall1614 It absolutely did. It's anodyne and ugly and has carefully had any idea of "fun" engineered firmly out. Here in NZ the R1300GS is massively out of reach @$40k before options. For less than half the price of a new R1300, I've bought a 2 year old R nineT pure with 1800km on the clock and specced it to my liking. It's a dream compared to the Versys, and if I were to replace with a similar cost ADV bike I'm looking at V-Strom 800 DE which has been beaten so hard with the ugly stick, you can only feel sorry for it.
@ I rode the R1300GS around Europe this past summer. We had 8 bikes we swapped back and forth (the GS, Tiger 900 and 1200, Ducati DesertX and Multistrada V4S, BMW S1000XR, Suzuki GX-S1000GX, and KTM SA1290S). Like Zack in this review, the GS was the bike I kept returning to as the best daily ride all-rounder. Some of the others were better is certain areas, but in tight alpine switchbacks the GS is just so freakin’ balanced. That being said, I still find that I like my R1250GS even better, for comfort and looks, plus I think the clatter of the engine on the 1300 was less pleasant. But awesome motorcycle in either iteration. Enjoy!
@@JDWDMC 😁 Outrageously pricey here in Canada too. My perspective changed after a heart attack and emergency open heart surgery in 2020. Then I said “F-it” and bought a 2021 R1250GS in 2021. I never thought I would spend that amount on a bike. Previously it was all Japanese. Yamahas and Kawasakis. Mostly the latter…KLR650, Z750S, GTR1400 (Concours14 here in North America). But there are a lot of dirt roads in this part of Canada and I got tired of turning around on street bikes. GS fits the bill for me at present. I do love the styling of the RnineT and some of the new R12s. Enjoy brother. My real brother some months back floated the idea of renting some motorcycles in New Zealand in February…but that looonnnnng flight…
Congratulations Zack on another year of excellent content (both videos and articles as well). The RevZilla crew are my favorite moto-people and I wish you guys the best looking forward
Can you please do an episode on the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, the new Bear and maybe even the new Bullet. It would be great to get your take on how RE are fitting into the daily ridersphere compared to more mainstream competitors.
Zak, thank you for your videos and good humor. Your reviews are insightful and very entertaining. Above and beyond anything else out there. More power to you brother, can't wait to see what you have in store for 2025.
truly enjoy all of these videos. even on the bikes i have no interest in. thank you for these videos year to year. absolutely a wealth of knowledge Zach!
We love you here in Grass Valley Ca Zack! Happy new year and thanks for all the rad rides. Looking forward to next year. Personally I would love to see you review the best used bikes you find , day under 5k. That's always fun! ❤
Best part of this series is that it helps me do a bit of a research of what bike I would like to ride next... worst part is that I found few years ago that scooters are best and most practical daily riders... Thus, there is no point of me watching DR series at all, but I still do :D
One of the bikes that was long discontinued here, in the EU, but holds a soft spot in my memories, is the DR-Z400S/SM. Now that Suzuki decided to resurrect it, I'd like to see it in the Daily Rider for 2025. I've been waiting for a long time for this new iteration, but I also fear that it'll come short of many peoples' expectations, especially because it's still a 5 speed.
Thank you Zak for the content you produce. I love your reviews, your style, and passion for bikes, which sets you above many of the clinical style reviews. Happy ew year!
ADV bikes are to motorcycles like SUVs are to automobiles. They are unnecessarily expensive, hardly anyone uses their full capabilities, and they all look the same. They're also becoming a self fulfilling prophecy in that they "sell" because that's all companies seem to sell anymore. But a great year as always content wise
They’re also the only bikes a middle aged man of normal height (6’5” in my case) can ride comfortably for long stretches. I kid, I kid. I know I’m taller than most. But if we would only have bikes where we used their full capacities we’d all be on 350s.
@@903lewif 6'5 is normal height i am clinically a midget. In the past, even tall people used to Ride "normal" bikes like triumphs and BSAs since trail bikes were for off road only.
@@ninji5226 yeah, ADV’s have been rising in popularity, but there have always been cruisers and sport bikes and standards and dual sports for decades. And all those bikes are still on the showroom floors
@@farmoboy83 Aye. But while I’m still somewhat tall these days granddad was about 5’4” and dad was about 6’1” at his tallest. My oldest is 7 and he’s about two inches taller than I was at that age. As a species we’re still growing which will impact what we chose to ride. That and the fact that we’re riding into our 60s and 70s which people didn’t use to do.
Enjoyed the montage of title cards in the opening. The closing montage of wheelies was even better. Great job editing team. Thank you Zack for another great year of candid reviews.
Zack, thank you for your unique, thoughtful, and experienced insights into the bikes you've ridden this year and over the last four years. You have a viewer and reader for as long as you choose to create content. You are appreciated. As for 2025 wish list items, I would love to get your thoughts on the Yamaha XSR-900. It doesn't seem to get any attention from major outlets or smaller channels and as a shortlisted bike against a few you've already looked at it would be very helpful. Plus, I just think the bike looks great.
Zack, you are just amazing and thank you for helping me get back into it after a 12 years hiatus ( last bike was a Vstrom 1000 and a Suzuki GT750 two stroke "water buffalo". Question, I now have a 2020 Super Tenere XT1200, have you ever tested one? It's an amazing daily rider! Thank you again and a Happy New Year to you!!
Zack, thank YOU for consistently producing high quality content over all these years with your partners in crime, Ari and Spenser (with a slight hiatus when you were behind a paywall).
Zack, you do a fantastic job with these reviews. You build a unique and immediately recognizable theme around it. I am waiting for each of these like I am waiting for another episode of my favourite series. Thank you and keep it up.
Thank you Zack! I actually made a switch to an ADV bike in a large part because of this show. Looking forward to another year on the daily ride man. Would love to see the Indian Sport Chief, the updated 117 Low Rider S, the new 2024 HD Road/Street Glide, a Kawasaki z900RS, 2024 Yamaha MT09 SP to name a few. Thanks again!
I know 300cc bikes are probably not very popular in the USA, but seeing something like the YZF R3 or even the R15 would be nice (and personally help me decide if I'm going for one as my first bike for going to work). Thanks for the awesome job and I love the videos!
Judging from what they said on a few podcast episodes, the R3 is horribly out of date and underpowered compared to the current newest bikes in the class (the class being up to ~50hp and 500cc or so), so they rarely even consider it for anything. R15 is India only so no one has any clue what that bike is (I’m guessing from the spec list it’s not better)
Yeah, our roads are just too large and drawn out for 300's, good to learn on if you're concerned of a bigger engine, but not meant for our highways and it sucks to find out after you've spent your cash on a bike. Yamaha makes a great bike i recommend trying something 500CC and up or maybe even a Triumph speed 400 if thats your style, for american roads.
Zack, Love watching daily rider reviews! Most of us will never😢experience most of the bikes you manage to get your hands on. I recently traded my 2016 Africa Twin DCT, for a 2025 Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. Would love to see you ride the Himalayan to work this year. Thanks!
I really appreciate the thoughtful and consistent methods you use in evaluating these bikes. Of course it remains totally subjective, but each rider can come to a better choice observing and then applying your methods.
This is a great program, revealing the value of a sustained effort. Hearing about bikes from such a relatable, humble, but highly qualified dude is really great. Cheers.
Hoping we (US) get that CB1000 Hornet SP, would love to see that reviewed by Zack. I enjoy these SO much more than the press ride reviews. You are a gift to us Zack, Happy New Year 🎉
Thanks for a great year in motorcycle review heaven! You do a great job and know that it's got to be hard decisions often times, where they stack up on the board but good job! I really enjoyed the old harley video, having never ridden one myself and in my opinion, was the best sounding engine of the year!! Looking forward to 25!
Thank you for being a wonderful spokesperson for those of us who do commute to work on two wheels. I would love to see high mileage used bikes reviewed. My commuter racked up 60k miles over 8 years. Someone should speak to how well bikes hold up over time.
I so appreciate your insights. I only wish I could add more bikes to my stable. My 2000 BMW R1100S and 1994 Ducati 900 SS SP, feed my hunger. Thanks and keep the videos coming Zack.
Congrats to Zack for completion of another outstanding yearly series of Daily Rider. And thank you to RevZilla, it's amazing producer, Chase , and all of the staff for making this possible. This is an impactful, entertaining and informative piece of our modern motorcycle culture. It's great to be a motorcyclist in this Golden Age of the sport. Happy New Year to all of you. 🎉

Zach, another season of absolute top-tier commentary-genuine, skilled, and refreshingly unbiased. Feels like the kind of content I should be paying for. For 2025, how about the all-new Z900? Curious if it redeems itself. And the ZX-6R-long in the tooth, sure, but still a true gem in a vanishing category. It deserves the spotlight, and honestly, the internet needs you to give it the deep dive it deserves. May the inline-four sportbike scream on-thanks for keeping the passion alive!
Over 100 episodes now. Congrats. The old Harley was a handful but what a two wheeled piece of history. A very well cared for motorcycle. I can't wait to see what you ride and review next.
Hey Guys , What about A video on All Time Best bike?? from 2020 up to now!!!!!
Exactly this
Another great year! Really nice work - thank you and Revzilla for this always anticipated show.
Next year: BMW S1000XR please - just need you to somewhat validate my most recent purchase.
Check out the XR in the episode of CTXP with the touring bikes vs the ZX10 - its really cool 🙂
@@anthonysilvestri4946thanks. Will do!
Congratulations on 100th episode! Your content is very informative and important to many of us who are daily riders! Ride safe and Happy New Year!
I’d love to see some scooters in the mix, some “low CC” bikes, some real economical commuters. However, I am a little biased.
@@christopherjohnson3377 he’s done a bmw electric scooter, a vespa, the Navi, all in addition to the Grom and Metacycle. But I agree, I want to see the Honda ADV160
Yamaha’s T Max is excellent and really blurs the lines between scooter and frame-mounted engine offerings
@@bendavies6775 They look pretty fun too, I’ve been playing around on a ‘04 Honda Reflex 250. Can’t beat them for the price.
Love my Honda PCX 150, I ride it with a pack of Hogs 😂 no problem keeping up in and around town 👍🏼
Never thought I'd be cross shopping a Yamaha zuma and a Honda adv.
Mate- congrats to you and your team on the 100 episode milestone! It’s a tough job getting that leader board in shape, and you thread the needle very very well!
Excellent series. Yours is the best video motorcycle-review source that I watch on RUclips; I’ve followed your series from Day 1. You’re entertaining, consistent, and informative. I watch every video, even if I couldn’t care less about some of the bikes you review. I hope you can continue this for at least a few more years (I assume you’ll move on at some point). Cheers, and keep up your good work.
Great recap on the years’ bikes. It’s always a good day when a new Daily Rider video drops.
My vote is for the V100. Guzzi is pretty aggressive on rebates, etc. The MSRP always feels like a suggestion. I got my white base for around 13 otd. After a proper windscreen, heated grips, etc. I'm closer to 14 but it's a perfect commuter bike imo.
It’s a sexy bike for sure. I’d quite like to see a ’basso’ version of it sans active aero at a slightly lower price point. I mean, there’s the Stelvio (which I’d love to see on DR) but I’d still like to see the V100 get a few more SKUs (like the V85TT/Strada).
I have a California and I need to ride the new v100 still haven't. People do like it
It’s a great bike with too many issues for 2024. I did a demo ride- the bikes were leaking oil and coolant and the transmission didn’t shift properly. Beautiful bike, lovely engine though.
Thanks to you, Ari, Spurgeon and the rest of the team for a great year of reviews and videos, it was throughly enjoyable! Blessings to you Zack and everybody else for 2025! ...this year I will try to hopefully get back on the saddle, but there are so many options...
Congratulations on 100 episodes, and thank you for recapping 2024 and sharing some of the criteria used in the Leaderboard. Re ADV bikes on the top of the list, didn’t a Honda Transalp make it at or near the top for 2023? I believe that bike is around 11k out the door, which feels like a fair deal for what you’re getting relative to other ADVs. For 2025, newer subscribers like myself could benefit from a walkthrough of your process, the elements you cover on the ride and why. Very good video journalism. Many thanks!
I look forward to all of your videos. Looking forward to another great year coming up.
I am always happy to see a new daily rider video. It doesn't matter if it's a bike that I'm interested in or not, it's just fun to watch and you do such a great job, thanks.
I had 890 SMT as a wild card in my choices for new bike and ended up buying it (partly thanks to daily rider review). After one season and couple thousand km, I love that bike and now I want to learn to wheelie and back it in, so thanks Zack :D
Have you had any issues with it? The KTM issues I keep hearing about are keeping me away but it looks like such a fun bike and on super sale right now with KTM's financial ruins.
@@ganuvien I had it since June and made 8000 km on it. Before it was owned by dealership and it had 8k when I was buying it. Altogether the bike has 16k km and I had no issues. I also had the yearly service done on it few weeks back and nothing showed up.
It is not super long period or mileage, but its all I can say. Personally I think the issues are blown out of proportions. It is true that there were/are issues with camshafts on certain models and it is also true that KTM has financial problems.
@@witchdoctor6502I think 8k km is not nothing. From what I have heard, there's KTM's out there that give their owners headaches much more often. Congrats on not getting a lemon.
Not blown out of proportion. But it's not just cam shafts, which is the issue shown the most in forum posts and headlines. These platforms will have leaking coolant from weak hose clamps and warped thermostat housing. Oil leaking from the valve cover. Immobiliser issues, blinker and brake light issues. Transmission falling out of second gear if you kick the shift lever too quickly. And flame outs in stop and go traffic because of euro 5 fueling.
Your dealer owned bike was probably a trade in from an owner who got his bike repaired for the fifth time and said that's enough. He went through the growing pains and QA/QC'd the bike for you!
Next year, the Himalayan 450 and CF Moto 450 are high on my wanna see list.
LOVE the wheelie "happy ending"!!
garbage... Hornet 1000SP will be on the TOP 2025
@@rideroll9609 not coming to usa i think
You wanna see unreliability? Himalayan: India. CF Moto: China. Not reliable.
@@rideroll9609 Honda is not bringing it to the US, roll again
I think the 450ss is the sweet one, the Himalayan is just too damn under powered to be taken seriously
It would be nice to see any of the SUZUKI DR-Z400 2025 models, and keep up the good work Zak
I rarely agree with the daily Rider picks. But I completely appreciate your effort and dedication riding all these bikes. I think you dont realize how vicariously we live through you, since most people wont have the opportunity to ride all these machines. I am pretty happy to been able to watch most of all episodes and deeply enjoy your content, regardless where my own opinion may land.
Hope to see more in 2025 and best of holidays to you.
Would love to see a Daily Ride of Speed Triple 1200 RS and the new Honda Hornet 1000 SP when available.
Great year of Daily Rider videos! Appreciate all the work that goes into these videos.
Enjoyed another year of videos, especially from the commuting perspective which is how I spend most of my time on my bike. Happy new year!
The supercut of a bunch of wheelies made me so nervous! And put a massive smile on my face to hear the joy in your voice 😅
Finally someone appreciates how good the 890 smt is.
Went from Tuono 660 Factory to 2023 S1000RR to 890 smt.
The 890smt is really underrated. Extremely fun and very very capable road bike.
Do some daily rider videos on touring bikes as a daily rider. Goldwing, K1600 BMW, Harley, Indian, etc.
He has.
Congratulations on getting to the 100+ episode mark! Looking forward to more in 2025! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
I really enjoy your insight, knowledge, and a little bit of comedy mixed in on your daily ride. I gain a lot of insight and really appreciate you doing what you do. Cheers! 🍻
Would love to see you cover the DR-Z4s. The DRZ has been a staple around town and trail bike in my garage and would love to see your thoughts on the new updates. As well as a little more screen time for Suzuki offerings next year 🤙
Drz's are piles of 💩
I second this, I just bought an old DR-Z this year and then the new one came out. Not in the market for a brand new bike anymore, but it would be interesting to see how the DR-Z handles fuel injection with modern emissions controls.
One man's opinion. An opinion based in years of motorcycle riding, reviewing, racing, writing. A very valuable opinion. An opinion which comes about through much consideration and consternation. A balanced opinion. An opinion we don't have to agree with, but it carries significant weight and an incredible amount of substance and entertainment. I never miss a DR episode.
Hi. TY for your daily rider series. This has been interesting to watch over the past few months.
Due to the encouragement I've gotten by watching your videos of getting into motorcycling(on top of years of enjoying watching f9 videos), I've finally bought my first motorcycle (the speed 400, Due to availability in nearby shops and so on). TY so much!
Hopefully I don't regret buying a bike so low on your list :P (but my budget was pretty close to 5k, so what you gonna do)
Zack and Ari make watching and listening about trends, products, and motorcycle technology well worth being a subscriber. Continued success gents, continued success. 🤜🏼
Zach and RevZilla, you guys are a great asset to the riding community. Always appreciate the Daily Ride and the Special episodes you do with Ari.
I would like to see your review of a Honda cb650r. Happy New Year!
Please make it the E-Clutch.
As someone considering this bike as a daily rider, it would be amazing to see a review on it.
Thanks for the smiles. Happy new year! ❤❤👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks for this 2024 season of Daily Rider! It's a real pleasure to hear your thoughts & opinions on those bikes. Your giggles every time you pop a wheelie is priceless 😁
Suggestions for 2025: it would be nice to hear from you and watch you try out daily ride "classic machine" of the 20th century 😎
I've been watching Daily Rider and RevZilla for a while now and it's really getting me into all kind of bikes I wouldn't have an interest by myself. Of course your choices are partial and personnal, but it always comes with the honesty of recognizing it. You and Ari are one of my favourite in the youtube motorbikes "game", you're real enthusiasts and share it perfectly and that's why you came this way up to 100 episodes and more to come.
And this year you also participated in my reflexion to switch bike from a 2017 Triumph Street Triple 765 R to the KTM 890 SMT. The Triumph was a better bike in many ways but the SMT is a lot of fun for a fairly more comfortable bike. To me it's already a pricy bike but that's the one I wanted after a testing I did at a bike festival in my country. So I looked for an used one from 2023 to get it at a more reasonnable price and with the scandalous shifter/cruise control options already paid for the same price as any other used model. I miss the sound of the triple engine and parallel twin are huhh not good regarding sound, but the rest of the bike I enjoy it a lot already. The plan is also that i'll use it occasionnaly as a light tourer on vacations and I think it'll be enough on french and european roads, at least It should be better than a naked roadster for that.
Thank you and ride safe everyone ✌
*I hope my english is not too broken, I tried to pay attention.
Very nice, thanks for all your work on these. Now a back it in montage
Zak never missed a daily rider video just the best content thank you happy new year Malcolm from Australia
Thank you Zak for all the great videos you gave us this year. I really want to repeat what others have said about how important and in this day and age, refreshing to have someone give their honest opinion on not just what’s right but what could be better on the bikes you’ve ridden.
All the best in the new year and hope to see a lot more of your rides to work.
BMW, the special price, the special recalls, the special weight, the special cost of ownership. Yeh, it’s special all right.
Spot On - it´s an overpriced barge. PoserBike
Yup. The special 32 year old R1100RS that's still going strong with 280,000km on it, 1 medium repair, no recalls.
@@paulburgess3088 Ahhh the good old high spec R1100 RS, no ride by wire, no ABS, no ride modes, no phone connectivity, no sat.nav, no fully adjustable suspension, and yet +500lb kerb weight. I totally see that your relic of a bike compares with the 2025 GS 1300...... and 280.000km in 32 yrs is only about 5.500 MLS a year - so no wonder nothing goes wrong.
@@turdferguson5108 Point taken, but at it's heart it has that wonderful boxer engine. And @billscott1601 was denigrating all BMWs. And those 280,000km were ridden in NZ South Island not American freeways. A straight road here is about 5km long (tongue in cheek), so the engine, suspension and gearbox get plenty of work.
Those are great numbers and good life for the bike but, it isnt as if their arnt 100 vstroms floating around doing the same exact thing. With the small exception vstroms dont cost 30k now. @paulburgess3088
I bought the MG V100 Mandello 2 months ago. So glad to see it on 4th position!
This is one of the best series on RUclips. Great content, fair assessments, and very practical.
Great work Zach. Thanks for another year of daily rider. Looking for forward to more!!!!!
Happy New Year Zack and thanks for wrapping up another Daily Rider year! I would like to see the “Triumph Bonneville T120 Black” as your daily rider in 2025. You have already featured the T100, but they are not identical.
Thank you Zak for your great work. I appreciate your passion and honesty during the reviews. I know one thing and that is I will not be doing wheelies at almost 69. I do like watching you do them, but I prefer to keep my front wheel on the ground. Dave from Nova Scotia, Canada
Love the series! Keep it going.
Another series idea is the best economical bike in each category. And maybe some mods to fix flaws.
Either way I’ll be watching.
Thank You for doing all this.
Wish You a Great Year ahead.
From Iran with Love.
Can’t wait for next year. Thans for makin my winters bearable. It’s a bit chilly here in Finland for at least six months a year. So lots of time to watch these great videos 👍. Keep up the good work. BTW thanks to You and Ari, I bought a bike recommended by You two. Used but good 😂.
Great stuff Zack!
We wouldn't watch if it wasn't you and you expertise..
Best reviews on the interwebs..
Happy new year everyone from AUS🇦🇺
I owned an "adventure" bike for a decade. It drained my desire to ride. I sold it, bought an RnineT Pure, did a series of sensible mods and have ridden more and further in 6 months than I did in 6 years previously. Don't be a fashion victim, kids. Buy the bike that stirs desires, not what you "think" you should buy. While I love what Zak and Ari do, picking the R1300 as the "best" bike of the year is utterly inexplicable to me. Normal people can't afford it.
A Versys 650 “drained” your “desire to ride”. Fair enough. But does that really damn adventure bikes? I think not. There are plenty of more exciting and capable adventure bikes than the Kawi 650. And nobody riding a Versys 650 is a “fashion victim” 😂. The R1300GS may be utterly inexplicable to you, but Zack clearly and objectively articulated why it was the BEST of the year, covered the cost question, and spoke of other value conscious options in a very objective manner. What more could be asked? And there are plenty of “normal” people riding GS, SAS, Tigers and the like. Not like the RnineT is bargain basement my friend. The good thing is we have choice, and we all can pick what turns the crank.
Fortunately I can afford a r1300gs and got one this year (2024). I absolutely love it - been riding for 40 years and have owned various bikes and the gs is fantastic. Can’t wait for spring to roll around to start riding it again.
@@davidkendall1614 It absolutely did. It's anodyne and ugly and has carefully had any idea of "fun" engineered firmly out. Here in NZ the R1300GS is massively out of reach @$40k before options. For less than half the price of a new R1300, I've bought a 2 year old R nineT pure with 1800km on the clock and specced it to my liking. It's a dream compared to the Versys, and if I were to replace with a similar cost ADV bike I'm looking at V-Strom 800 DE which has been beaten so hard with the ugly stick, you can only feel sorry for it.
@ I rode the R1300GS around Europe this past summer. We had 8 bikes we swapped back and forth (the GS, Tiger 900 and 1200, Ducati DesertX and Multistrada V4S, BMW S1000XR, Suzuki GX-S1000GX, and KTM SA1290S). Like Zack in this review, the GS was the bike I kept returning to as the best daily ride all-rounder. Some of the others were better is certain areas, but in tight alpine switchbacks the GS is just so freakin’ balanced. That being said, I still find that I like my R1250GS even better, for comfort and looks, plus I think the clatter of the engine on the 1300 was less pleasant. But awesome motorcycle in either iteration. Enjoy!
@@JDWDMC 😁 Outrageously pricey here in Canada too. My perspective changed after a heart attack and emergency open heart surgery in 2020. Then I said “F-it” and bought a 2021 R1250GS in 2021. I never thought I would spend that amount on a bike. Previously it was all Japanese. Yamahas and Kawasakis. Mostly the latter…KLR650, Z750S, GTR1400 (Concours14 here in North America). But there are a lot of dirt roads in this part of Canada and I got tired of turning around on street bikes. GS fits the bill for me at present. I do love the styling of the RnineT and some of the new R12s. Enjoy brother. My real brother some months back floated the idea of renting some motorcycles in New Zealand in February…but that looonnnnng flight…
Congratulations Zack on another year of excellent content (both videos and articles as well). The RevZilla crew are my favorite moto-people and I wish you guys the best looking forward
Can you please do an episode on the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, the new Bear and maybe even the new Bullet. It would be great to get your take on how RE are fitting into the daily ridersphere compared to more mainstream competitors.
Zak, thank you for your videos and good humor. Your reviews are insightful and very entertaining. Above and beyond anything else out there. More power to you brother, can't wait to see what you have in store for 2025.
truly enjoy all of these videos. even on the bikes i have no interest in. thank you for these videos year to year. absolutely a wealth of knowledge Zach!
We love you here in Grass Valley Ca Zack! Happy new year and thanks for all the rad rides. Looking forward to next year. Personally I would love to see you review the best used bikes you find , day under 5k. That's always fun! ❤
Well done.
Appreciate your efforts.
Happy new year!
Best part of this series is that it helps me do a bit of a research of what bike I would like to ride next... worst part is that I found few years ago that scooters are best and most practical daily riders... Thus, there is no point of me watching DR series at all, but I still do :D
One of the bikes that was long discontinued here, in the EU, but holds a soft spot in my memories, is the DR-Z400S/SM. Now that Suzuki decided to resurrect it, I'd like to see it in the Daily Rider for 2025. I've been waiting for a long time for this new iteration, but I also fear that it'll come short of many peoples' expectations, especially because it's still a 5 speed.
Thank you Zak for the content you produce. I love your reviews, your style, and passion for bikes, which sets you above many of the clinical style reviews. Happy ew year!
ADV bikes are to motorcycles like SUVs are to automobiles. They are unnecessarily expensive, hardly anyone uses their full capabilities, and they all look the same. They're also becoming a self fulfilling prophecy in that they "sell" because that's all companies seem to sell anymore. But a great year as always content wise
They’re also the only bikes a middle aged man of normal height (6’5” in my case) can ride comfortably for long stretches.
I kid, I kid. I know I’m taller than most. But if we would only have bikes where we used their full capacities we’d all be on 350s.
@@903lewif 6'5 is normal height i am clinically a midget. In the past, even tall people used to Ride "normal" bikes like triumphs and BSAs since trail bikes were for off road only.
@@ninji5226 yeah, ADV’s have been rising in popularity, but there have always been cruisers and sport bikes and standards and dual sports for decades. And all those bikes are still on the showroom floors
@@farmoboy83 Aye. But while I’m still somewhat tall these days granddad was about 5’4” and dad was about 6’1” at his tallest. My oldest is 7 and he’s about two inches taller than I was at that age. As a species we’re still growing which will impact what we chose to ride. That and the fact that we’re riding into our 60s and 70s which people didn’t use to do.
Correct ADV bikes do everything good but nothing great. Totally uninspiring.
Enjoyed the montage of title cards in the opening. The closing montage of wheelies was even better. Great job editing team. Thank you Zack for another great year of candid reviews.
Zack, thank you for your unique, thoughtful, and experienced insights into the bikes you've ridden this year and over the last four years. You have a viewer and reader for as long as you choose to create content. You are appreciated.
As for 2025 wish list items, I would love to get your thoughts on the Yamaha XSR-900. It doesn't seem to get any attention from major outlets or smaller channels and as a shortlisted bike against a few you've already looked at it would be very helpful. Plus, I just think the bike looks great.
I'm giving this two thumbs up/likes. One for, well, just because. And the second is for the wheelie compilation at the end. HNY to DR! Here's to 2025
Zack, you are just amazing and thank you for helping me get back into it after a 12 years hiatus ( last bike was a Vstrom 1000 and a Suzuki GT750 two stroke "water buffalo". Question, I now have a 2020 Super Tenere XT1200, have you ever tested one? It's an amazing daily rider! Thank you again and a Happy New Year to you!!
Zack, thank YOU for consistently producing high quality content over all these years with your partners in crime, Ari and Spenser (with a slight hiatus when you were behind a paywall).
Thanks for all the awesome daily rides this year, Mr. Courts! 👍
Zack, you do a fantastic job with these reviews. You build a unique and immediately recognizable theme around it. I am waiting for each of these like I am waiting for another episode of my favourite series. Thank you and keep it up.
Great wrap-up!! And the the wheelie outro... 👏🎯⭐😄
Thank you Zack! I actually made a switch to an ADV bike in a large part because of this show. Looking forward to another year on the daily ride man. Would love to see the Indian Sport Chief, the updated 117 Low Rider S, the new 2024 HD Road/Street Glide, a Kawasaki z900RS, 2024 Yamaha MT09 SP to name a few. Thanks again!
I know 300cc bikes are probably not very popular in the USA, but seeing something like the YZF R3 or even the R15 would be nice (and personally help me decide if I'm going for one as my first bike for going to work).
Thanks for the awesome job and I love the videos!
Judging from what they said on a few podcast episodes, the R3 is horribly out of date and underpowered compared to the current newest bikes in the class (the class being up to ~50hp and 500cc or so), so they rarely even consider it for anything. R15 is India only so no one has any clue what that bike is (I’m guessing from the spec list it’s not better)
Yeah, our roads are just too large and drawn out for 300's, good to learn on if you're concerned of a bigger engine, but not meant for our highways and it sucks to find out after you've spent your cash on a bike. Yamaha makes a great bike i recommend trying something 500CC and up or maybe even a Triumph speed 400 if thats your style, for american roads.
You have to do a Yamaha R9 next year!
Zack, Love watching daily rider reviews! Most of us will never😢experience most of the bikes you manage to get your hands on. I recently traded my 2016 Africa Twin DCT, for a 2025 Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. Would love to see you ride the Himalayan to work this year. Thanks!
Hi Zack, love what you've done with Daily Rider, long may the entertainment continue. Oh and more classic's 😀
I really appreciate the thoughtful and consistent methods you use in evaluating these bikes. Of course it remains totally subjective, but each rider can come to a better choice observing and then applying your methods.
This is a great program, revealing the value of a sustained effort. Hearing about bikes from such a relatable, humble, but highly qualified dude is really great. Cheers.
Thanks for another great year of daily rider! I cant wait to see how the Yamaha R9 will do. Lots of exciting stuff to look forward to. Happy new year!
Always enjoy your video's and honest opinions. Especially your Video about your Dad! Awesome!
Hoping we (US) get that CB1000 Hornet SP, would love to see that reviewed by Zack. I enjoy these SO much more than the press ride reviews. You are a gift to us Zack, Happy New Year 🎉
Thanks for a great year in motorcycle review heaven! You do a great job and know that it's got to be hard decisions often times, where they stack up on the board but good job! I really enjoyed the old harley video, having never ridden one myself and in my opinion, was the best sounding engine of the year!! Looking forward to 25!
Gotta simply love your candid reviews. Granted, these are subjective but I get genuine feelings rather than (paid) influencer vibes.
Thank you for being a wonderful spokesperson for those of us who do commute to work on two wheels.
I would love to see high mileage used bikes reviewed. My commuter racked up 60k miles over 8 years. Someone should speak to how well bikes hold up over time.
Episode 100 was great and a note worthy honorable mention. Thanks for all the videos.
thanks for all your reviews and videos. they're both entertaining and informative.
Happy New Year, Zack! Thanks Revzilla!
Happy New Year! Keep the videos coming.
I so appreciate your insights. I only wish I could add more bikes to my stable. My 2000 BMW R1100S and 1994 Ducati 900 SS SP, feed my hunger. Thanks and keep the videos coming Zack.
These are the best reviews on the internet, thanks for fantastic content to Zack and Revzilla. Would love to see your take on the Rebel 1100T.
Thank you Zack for keeping it real and practical all along. I very much enjoy your opinions and hope to see 500 more. Sincerely from a KTM 200 enjoyer
Great 2024 wrap-up. Looking forward to the daily of the Tiger Sport 800 and perhaps a GSX-8R.
Congrats to Zack for completion of another outstanding yearly series of Daily Rider. And thank you to RevZilla, it's amazing producer, Chase , and all of the staff for making this possible. This is an impactful, entertaining and informative piece of our modern motorcycle culture. It's great to be a motorcyclist in this Golden Age of the sport. Happy New Year to all of you. 🎉
Crazy to recognize all these streets as a South Bay local. Thanks for a great 2024.
