I prefer a quiet exhaust for sneaking up on employees, but otherwise I prefer a slightly louder bike, so the deer can hear me coming. Because I live in the Sierra Mountains, I have hit 3 deer with my car, and thankfully none on a bike…
Great video as usual! SV 650 is a great custom choice and something normal people can buy unlike the MV, but ye I would have one! On the electric bikes issue, I worked in China for a while about 8 yrs ago and there were electric scooters /everywhere!!!! Unbelievable, method of choice for the commute and I don’t mean stand on variants, proper motor cycles
In the real world more simple, less ecotic bikes like moto guzzi, triumph, norton suzuki sv650 make sense as servicing, spares and using as everyday transport doesnt suit bikes like ducatis or mv agusta. In my opinion theyre for car drivers who want to pose on sunday runs. In the real world the norton 961 commando is beautiful, great fun with basic design thats so practical even for the home mechanic but even at £17k its still a bike with such great build quality in fit and finish on another level to any other manufacturer. The suzuki sv650 and v strom are such practical, well priced and great bikes, proven over 20 plus years and the sv650 is a true bargain. With speed cameras everywhdre and such high costs to run big bikes especially KTM and MV and harleys they make a lot of sense. Big adventurs bikes like shaft drive triumph 1200 explorers are a lot of bike for the price and are very good for touring 2 up or even yamaha supertenere1200. Ztill its all subjective and the choice, tech and quality nowadays with ABS, rider aids and great design is amazing and maybe im getting old and a bit out of touch.
It's a grab handle to pull it out of a hedge. And for most beautiful bikes I'd go back further into Ducati's history and pick the bevel 900ss in black and gold from the late 70's. For current bikes, the Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello S in Verde ( mine arrives 1st March).
The 900ss ducati had crankshaft issues and my cousin who had a motorcycle dealership and a mate who owned 900ss confirmed this even though they sere so nice to ride and handling and torque was huge for its day out of those desmo motors.
I'd take the Superveloce 800 over the 1000, which I think is a bit overstyled. I don't care for the wing on the tail/seat cowl, for example. Sometimes it's time to put down the pencil. Great sportbike designs, IMO: Ducati 916-998, MV F4 1000, 2006-2012 Triumph Daytona 675, MV F3, Ducati 1098-1199, Honda VFR 750F (RC 36), Honda VFR 750R. (RC 30), 2004-2006 Yamaha R1, Kawasaki ZX-7R, Moto Guzzi Le Mans to name a few.
Honda CBR 250RR MC23 from 86.....the year I was born that 20000 rpm monster was there.......Then there's the 1198 S Ducati Corse edition......And then comes Kawasaki H2 series bikes that are sillyness incarnate.....
what about talking about the absolutely stacked Daytona 200 race coming up on the next podcast? Maybe road racing isn't in the demographics of this channel?
Definitely not as pretty as the original Super Veloce Series Ore. The new one is definitely too busy as you said. You have to include some of the Bimota's, DB7 and DB8.
Honda "copying" the Royal Enfield design would certainly be a surprise but I am sure the end product will be of much higher quality/reliability than the Himalayan so consumers win.
Not really surprised about Cake. More of a lifestyle brand. The future of electric motorcycles still is sure though. But first we need a next generation of affordable, recyclable, sustainable, light weight battery technology. And they are on the horizon. Solid state probably. In the mean time I am working on my own project. Chassis wise I am almost ready but the cost for the electric stuff is still prohibitive. Which brings us back to the previous point.
@@houseofroos Assuming that is a question: The investment in batteries, controllers and electric motor will already be about Eu 5000 to 6000. One can buy a complete ICE bike for that sort of money. And that is still without a guarantee I’ll ever get it road legal. Then there is battery weight. Like I said: A next generation battery technology is needed. Until that time medium to high performance electric motorcycles will stay expensive.
@@marcbrasse747Oh sorry for my cryptic comment, what I meant was ev motorcycles need to be cheaper to get traction. They’re just too darn pricey. We’re in agreement. Thx

Hey guys just jumped in on this really enjoyed subbed 👍
The triumph speed triple cafe racer of nearly 180 bhp is really beautiful looking and has the amazing great looks of some of the nicest MV Agustas.
I prefer a quiet exhaust for sneaking up on employees, but otherwise I prefer a slightly louder bike, so the deer can hear me coming. Because I live in the Sierra Mountains, I have hit 3 deer with my car, and thankfully none on a bike…
I rode a Cake, briefly around a car park, went well. Seat was as comfortable as a brick wall. V expensive/cost/value. Nice to look at though
FZ1 06, tuned no silencer - who cares - but i only go to pub and tried 500 round trip - bought ear plugs - still no good
Great video as usual!

That's all well and good, but can we take a minute to talk about the demise of the R1 and the possibility (certainty?) of an R9 model?

I’m 56 , is that old ? 😀
I am 57 I like to start riding 🏍️
I think the Ducati 1199 Superlegerra is the prettiest bike ever made. This MV is close to it though.
You can charge it in your flat, bonus when it's cold out, the flames will keep you warm
MV need Adrian Morton magician..😎
Honda 350, is a shrewd business move , mass sales make money especially in Asia

@@Ian-bq7gp only the early ones, there was an improved crank from 78 onwards. I ran one as daily transport for 5 years without issues.
For a man that visited the MV Augusta factory it’s a shame you didn’t mention the rush. That bike is a cafe insanity. The absolute decadence
I'd take the Superveloce 800 over the 1000, which I think is a bit overstyled. I don't care for the wing on the tail/seat cowl, for example. Sometimes it's time to put down the pencil.

The latest cb350 is RE classic 350 ripped off..?
Honda CBR 250RR MC23 from 86.....the year I was born that 20000 rpm monster was there.......Then there's the 1198 S Ducati Corse edition......And then comes Kawasaki H2 series bikes that are sillyness incarnate.....
Best looking naked, money no object, Brough Superior Dagger.

I don't agree that the driver in the white Audi doesn't like bikers , motorcycle and cyclists should not under take they should only over take.
Ducati monster good looking?😧
“The devil is always in the details”
What are you guys smoking.
The monster and diavel aren’t in my top 100.
Great bikes but ugly af.
Cake was rubbish anyways
worst bike - xs 750 yamaha - bad at everything
