Yes, please do continue. I really like the format and think it's a great way for Bennetts to interact with the community. Even if none are chosen, I think you do a fantastic job of showing the potential in other rides. It's a great education for newer and intermediate riders.
Thank you, this is my favourite episode so far. As a small woman myself and a beginner this was hugely relevant. So far I have ridden an assortment of bikes and scooters. Because of my height the Honda Vision has been the one that I sat on and immediately felt comfortable and had a lot of fun. I've never considered a Van Van but will give it a try now. Also the AJS 125s which aren't easy to get. Brilliant episode 😊
Would have told her to keep her current bike and get through her test as only has two years from passing her theory to do it. Then put her money towards one of the new 400s like the Triumph Speed 400
@@MrVulcan1963 Completely agree, buying another 125 isn't really progress and a bigger bike will be easier to ride. Saw yer money and do a DAS course, then there is so much more choice.
I don't think the intention is to tell people what to do. Also, it would make it a pretty short episode and we wouldn't get opinions on 3 different bikes. They might also need to change the name of the series.
I mean 5 years on a 125 is a long time but it is all about confidence and if she's normally been on the back of someone else's bike and not had much road time to herself, I can understand that apprehension of going to a bigger bike really quick. We all had to start somewhere and we're not all the same.
Like have previously said on other episodes, this is by far my favourite show on RUclips. You guys are awesome and have fantastic chemistry. It’s terrific to watch normal people throw a leg over so many different bikes. Please come to Australia 🇦🇺 Keep making these episodes!!! Ride safe lads.
I love this as a series. Can’t wait for the next one. I would love to take part in the next series. I need to decide if I am going to change my steed. Well done to everyone involved!!
Biking highlight of my week, so please, please, please keep 'em coming. This RUclips channel is the reason I have my insurance with Bennetts, despite having a cheaper quote from some other insurer. 💚
I’ve loved both seasons gents. Please go cap in hand to the bosses for another season. It’s great to see such a variety of bikes and hear opinions from members of the biking public 👍
RUclips is a much better place for having this series. It’s very hard to get someone to buy a bike that they haven’t chosen but this program has been very entertaining. Well done
Love this series , but this challenge was difficult. I did feel Lisa needs to pass her test and put her money towards something between a 350 - 500cc machine.
Another great series chaps! Looking forward to another one if the budget permits! The various guests & 3rd mystery selectors have all contributed greatly. The main stayers are fantastic & dedicate their time & energy to make this series great viewing! Well done Bennetts!
Yeah, being unable to get test rides is a pain in the backside, and not only for CBT riders. I got my full A licence via DAS at the Honda-approved riding school attached to my local Honda dealership. Chuffed to bits, I popped into the dealership and asked to test-ride the CB500F I was interested in: nope, no test rides until I’ve had a licence for a full 12 months. Spending 20 hours riding one of their CB650Rs without incident, and having two DVSA examiners approve of my proficiency, isn’t enough for their insurers, apparently. What exactly is the point, Honda? I could’ve been a life long customer. My local Kawasaki/Suzuki/Piaggio Group dealer were more than happy to let me ride stuff if accompanied. Guess who got my money?
Even with 10 months of experience and ten thousand miles, turning up to the dealer on a bigger, faster bike and bmw were the only ones to let me test, so f900r over an mt09 for the second bike!
Having a licence 12months, means nothing if someone hasn't ridden since passing test, you fresh from test would be a better bet for me. Test rides needed, before purchase I reckon
that little gsxr is my training bike for the kart track!! killer machine. we get the 150 version here in asia, but it's soooo good, especially the money. super flickable and fun
WBN is a great series, and deserves to continue. I don't believe it really matters whether one of the three bikes is chosen or not. What makes it special is the banter, the interaction with riders, and getting the average person's view of a wide selection of bikes. Oh, and Michael and Simon shine.
I went to the MK store because of this series, and I was seen by Mike, really good experience and will be back, great place to shop and Mikes advice was excellent
I like this format you get an immediate honest opinion not that I don't like journalists opinions it's just good to get a "normal person's " opinion once in a while, keep up the good work folks 👍
Please do continue if at all possible. I've seen every episode of this series and it's been a lot of fun. It really doesn't matter if they don't commit to a bike then and there. As mentioned previously, this is the motorbike equivalent of Location, Location, Location.
Very well done, too right you are coming back again and again, would not miss one of your episodes for anything! Had you been brave and gone against her sort of anti-cruiser thing you might well of cracked it!
More please - I really enjoy riding along with 3 different motorcycles each episode. And, meeting the riders you are working with is so very interesting. Come back soon, with more great content.
Anyone else watching this remember coming in after an intense hooning session with the lads in the late 90’s, put the helmet and gloves on the kitchen worktop, crack open a cold beer and put the telly on. Slam a Performance Bikes video in the old VHS, and watch Si Hargreaves, Trevor Franklin, Gus Scott and Ronnie Smith giving the latest crop of sports bikes the absolute berries? Burping down cans of Kronenbourg with the old Sidi Start boots casually unzipped, Heine Gerricke Pro Sports leather trousers minging with crotch sweat, and a wrinkled sweat soaked T-shirt sticking to the velour settee. Those was the days those was! 😂
Yes please continue. Was great to see a 125 ride out to see new riders get on bikes. As you said, be good to see more manufacturers allow riders test bikes, including 125’s. Great show again.
@@MrMichaelConstantine Thanks for your comment, you are incorrect, you definitley can sit on the bikes! You'll see on the signs it says to ask a member of staff first so we can pull the bike out for you. However, we will be changing this messaging in the future so it's really clear that you are of course allowed to try the bike out for size! As for test rides, as you can imagine it's logistically challenging as we house over 3,000 motorbikes and each bike would need to go through a full inspection after each ride, which puts immense pressure on our workshop - we do however provide a 14-day money back guarantee. This allows you to thoroughly evaluate the motorbike in your own time and return it within 14 days of purchase if it doesn’t meet your expectations. Thanks! Team SBF
@@4RMS7TRONG Thanks for your comment, you are incorrect, you definitley can touch and sit on the bikes! You'll see on the signs it says to ask a member of staff first so we can pull the bike out for you. However, we will be changing this messaging in the future so it's really clear that you are of course allowed to try the bike out for size!
Yeah keep it going. As a newer rider, I don't have a lot of context for bikes, there many more out there I've never heard of than I can picture in my head. This is a great way to explore that massive portfolio of bikes. In terms of improvements, if you could go in to the pros and cons a little more, and communicate the differences between the bikes a bit more clearly, including what's a quirk for a particular bike vs a trend for a brand or deliberate design choice, that would be ace. Obviously I'm only 1 viewer, but that's how I feel.
What a great episode. Good on ya for pointing out the issue with getting demo rides on 125s. I'm not on the superbike factory's naughty list, as I only watched this episode and didn't touch anything. Thanks for the lovely season, and hopefully the bosses approve season 3. Dear bosses, please approve season 3.
I actually think that the fact that guests don't feel obligated to choose a bike at the end of the episode speaks to the genuineness of the show. I think of the episodes as educational for those who are looking to buy a new bike either as a seasoned rider or an absolute beginner. It teaches people what they might want to consider themselves in their search. So yeah I would love to see a series 3!
Cool to see Simon address the importance of letting people actually ride the bikes you're trying to sell them, especially after all the complaints in the comments about the very retailer they're collaborating with. I'm in Belgium and at least for new big bikes the demo ride situation has improved a lot in the past few years. The importers for the big 4 Japanese brands do these demo/promo tours where they bring the same Benelux demo fleet to a string of dealerships and you can get a 30 minute tour on one or two bikes there no strings attached. Don't even need to state any intention to buy one in the near future or whatever, which ironically is exactly the sort of thing that makes me want to do business with them over the brands that are playing hard to get. Shows confidence in their products, too.
This has been one of my favourite WBN. Soon as she saw the Gixer her eyes lit up. Bit more riding and can envisage her being okay with taller seats. Some extra lessons may help.
I liked the nod to the Superlight. Mine taught me as much about basic maintenance as it did to ride. An empty road and a simple toolkit, I feel I could fix any small problem roadside. And that gives me the confidence to explore those lanes
Such a great episode! This is my current favorite motorcycle show on youtube.. comparing to cycleworld, revzilla, bikeworld, mcn even. I so want someone to pick one of the bikes one day. I had high hopes for the Suzuki.

It is good to see someone at the beginning of their motorbike career. Please make a season three.
I’d love another series of this! It’s always a good watch!
NOOOOOOOO don't stop the series. We need more. And I'm so pleased you've done a 125 special
This is great for new people to get a ‘beginners’ view of learner bikes
I’ve loved both seasons gents. Please go cap in hand to the bosses for another season.
It’s great to see such a variety of bikes and hear opinions from members of the biking public 👍
Definitely another series please.
Top viewing. Essential viewing, even.
Ride safe 👍
Yes please keep making these programmes, by far my favourite thing on RUclips 👍👍👍
I love this show -- hugely entertaining and informative. I hope Michael and Simon with be back with Series 3.
I’d vouch for another series - would deffo watch if it continues. Good job guys.
Enjoyable series, would love to watch a third series

What a great episode. I think you have really helped Lisa to move forward. I'm really disappointed that it is the last one.
Such a great series. Great hosts. Great video/audio/editing. Good to end on a 125 as well. Feels properly British, somehow.

Great episodes! Please continue making them!!! Always looking forward to watching the next one! Much appreciation from Québec Canada!
Definitely need another series. Brilliant format. Thoroughly enjoy these videos
I’m from Italy and I love this series. It helps me try to learn English quickly. please come back asap!!! Tnx.
Definitely more please! One just gains knowledge without needing experience all faces of motorcycling. I don’t miss a episode
This is real world & absolutely would love to see more , I was so disappointed to learn that this was the last in the series - great work
Another series if you can, always look forward to the programme...

Really enjoy this show, it’s always an entertaining watch and please return for a 3rd series

Yep, great series and great presenters. Definitely should do another series. It's good to see a good, honest, real-life bike-related video on RUclips.

Yes please do more seasons. This is truly a great series.
Great series guys and opens your eyes to makes / models you might not be aware of. Hopefully another series won't be to far away.
Great series, really entertaining and informative, more series please.
This is a brilliant little series. Next season please 🙏
More please - I really enjoy riding along with 3 different motorcycles each episode. And, meeting the riders you are working with is so very interesting. Come back soon, with more great content.
Yes, do make more of this series. Very enjoyable. Why ever stop I reckon
Very enjoyable and informative, I hope you finally get a sale in the next series 😉

Definitely keep the series going. Nothing like it on YT, I don’t even ride. 😂
Yes do more. Really enjoy this format.
The irony of ranting about not being able to test ride whilst sitting in super bike factory!
You can. You just need to ask. I get though that you might feel you shouldn’t need to get sales staff involved.
@@denisg4288No you cannot sit on them, or ride them at the superbike factory.

I find this segment most entertaining and worthwhile. Yes! Please continue! ;-) 🏍🏍🏍🏍
I find myself shouting at the screen for the poor choice of bikes.
Really enjoyed the series, I was thinking z125 or the naked Suzuki gsx but I agree best to keep existing bike and focus on passing big bike test.
