When I started to think the way you think I just got much richer, less stressed out, also. And started to give much more confortable with the things that I own and not with the things that I think that I should have.
Loved this video, you're right on the spot. For me, i love carbureted old motors, when I tried the "then new" Kawasaki er6n that my dad own, i was so impressed, until i got for myself an old 1990 Kawasaki gpz 500, and never changed it, that's the perfect bika for me, and i did tried many others, but my gpz it's just my baby
You have points.I will give you that. But also you have to look at things outside the box as well. You also remind me of another person on RUclips who calls himself Cyclecruza.I had go without a motorcycle for years after having a few of them when I was younger. I used to race motocross as a teenager in the 80's and when my mother couldn't afford it any longer to help, I tried doing it on my own. Long story short, I couldn't follow my dream and passion. But years later, 22yrs or so later, after getting married, having a child and family. I was finally able to afford to buy one and ride. So if you can afford it, go get that bike, that gear, that passion that you have missed for so long! Because life is short. But I do agree. Once you get it figured out, which bike does it for you, stick with it and ride it. Have fun and enjoy your life! That's what we’re doing!
I want a different motorcycle because I didn't get to test ride my first motorcycle, and I didn't realize that I don't like single cylinders or small fuel tanks until after I bought it. I generally don't buy stuff I don't need, unless it's thc, alcohol, or prepared food.
Preach. You might remember I also picked up a 22' SV, brand new, and....ya...I'm already thinking of the next bike I need, when in reality, other than needing a little more wind protection as I tour quite alot, the bike is an absolute blast to ride. Spec-sheeting online is taking relatively similar bikes (read: Hornet vs GSX-8S, etc) and making one look like the wrong purchase. What a joke. In reality, we are in the golden age of motorcycling where, really, almost NO bike you can buy these days is a 'bad' bike. Guess it's time to lay off the bike/gear reviews, eh? (Also, the roads over there look like a blast. I can't wait to eventually take the ferry over from SK- which also has awesome roads.)
i really needed that thank you...i am 17 years old and those tik tok or whatever videos make me feel that i should upgrade from my yamaha crypton R 105 bigger like..ktm 390 adv..so thank you i really really needed that.
Dude, youre on to something! I have just thought about it and I own my license since 2005, bought my first motorcycle in 07. Since then I owned in total 10 different bikes. In the last 10 years alone I bought 7!!!! I think I need help. But right now I feel like I can hold out for a while, since this is the first time I own two bikes at the same time: A brand new CRF300L and a used 01 GSX-R 600. I think about new bikes constantly and how awesome it would be to get this or that bike. But I have learned to humble myself and be happy with what I got more often than not. Problem is I am going to EICMA this year and have tons of new bikes that I want to look at and test ride. 😂
Doesn't she like the SV 650 anymore? BTW I also had an SV650 not even two years ago. I think the SV650 was how I found your channel. Its my first visit to EICMA and I live in Germany so its not that far, I'm looking forward to it but am afraid I want one or more new bikes after that. @@KairyuRider
I only buy something with a have a need that can't be fulfilled by the old thing. Hence not buying a phone for years until folding phones are mature (something new). Or wanting to buy a liter bike (so I can cross country quickly and easily)
The reason people always want something new is because they are missing the joy in their lives, that only comes from a relationship with their creator. Their soul is longing for it.
I felt the same way until I got my latest bike :D I hade som complaints with my last bike and found I bike that was older but have all crap I want and now I don't "need" a new bile :D
Do what's best for your family... Your single stance on what maybe helpful to us consumers will not change the market or the relationship there of. Once again I hope you do the reviews if it helps your family that would be best, good luck.
Honestly useful to hear, even if I don't own a bike yet. Really struggling to make up my mind on what bike to get when I get my license. The learner is an MT07, and it's solid. But I hate the looks of it. The Hornet seems like a great value bike that could last me a long time, and I don't hate the looks even if they are kinda boring. But then there's the question of if I should just get a used SV or XSR and save some money.. It's so easy to get upsold to something you don't need.
Sv is a better learners bike. It's your first bike that you will drop. My wife started out on a sv Get a used sv. Better breaks from 2020. Euro 5 from 2020. Everything else is unchanged since 2016. They last for ever is you do basic maintenance. My wife only sold hers to help pay for the child birth. And despite what you hear, the 650 class isn't something you out grow. I've beed riding 14 years. Sold my tracer 900 and got a mt07
@@KairyuRider I'm not worried about dropping the bike, already passed my exam for low speed control and got the hang of all that. They demand a lot more of you before they give you a license here!
@jaide1312 I hope you don't. But every one I know has dropped there bike. The first time a car is slightly in your lane, the first gravel you didn't see. There are plenty of things class can't prepare your for. 1 great thing about sv650, the swmotech crash bars look good and work great. I have a video on them. And they are much cheaper than a new radiator and a tow truck 😅
No, I love my bike, except for the part where the engine spits the con rod bearings into the oil filter, or the piston rings wear out before 30k miles. If my bike would keep going, I'd ride it forever, but it won't keep going, and I hate that about it.
I've never bought a new car or motorbike. I'm old. I could probably do it now but don't really see the point. I'd sooner put the cash toward going on trips up the alps and that. That said I still get bike fever now and then. :)
Cars didn't last 20-30 years in Grandparents time. I mean you are ridiculously wrong on that. LOL. Lucky to get 10 years out of a car back then, they fell apart.
In 2008, I got my first car. A 1981 Mercedes 240d. Sold it to my uncle in 2015 when I left the usa. He still drives it. I guess if you don't know how to take care of your stuff, then 10 year?😅
@@brianburkhard5209 I have a 1978 Bronco with 280,000 miles on it, I had a 1988 buick rivera that almost got to 300,000 miles. I am not wrong, this is not the norm. most people used cars for 5 or 6 years max, then it would have major issues usually before 100,000 mils. 95% of People did not keep cars for 20 or 30 years. Collectibles and cars that were loved by the owner did, but that was not how most people look at cars. I've had all my cars for over 10 years, but I am right about what I am saying.

@@brianburkhard5209 Nice, I had an old truck with 3 on the tree. After learning and getting used it, it was pretty awesome. You got some nice old cars. Keep them as long as you can.
Nice real talk...almost forgot it could exist on the internet today! Keep up the interesting and honest vlogs🤟
Thanks. I'm trying. Hate click bate and don't wanna be that
Marketing works very well! Great video. USA is drowning in consumerism.
My SV650 is way more bike than I know how to use. It’ll take me years for me to come close to using its potential
