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.
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.
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
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!!
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.
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
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
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
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!
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.
@@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

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.
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. 💚
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.
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.
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 👍
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!
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.
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
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.
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 👍
I’ve got a full licence but currently got a couple of 125’s on the road ideal cross town commuters super cheap to run and great fun thrashing round not really worrying about getting into to much trouble.
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.
yes please do continue, id love to see her come back on the show next year and try some 400 type bikes if she passes her test, thatd be awesome to see her journey
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!
First of all, OF COURSE you have to make another season of this, it's a great series. Now, about Lisa. Due to the nature of the segment, there isn't enough variation in bike specs to be had and as such not much variation in things able to do either. Basically all of them are commuter bikes. Thus I find it better getting something comfortable and easy to ride (like she felt on the VanVan) and get acquainted with biking as a whole. Variation and variety can come later, when they will be much better appreciated as well, since you get to stop thinking about riding and just ride. For someone looking to get seriously into it, 125cc is just a necessary but brief step
Yes, I would love to see a third series of WBN. Please keep it going.

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.
Please do a third season of What Bike Next? This series is great 👍
This is great for new people to get a ‘beginners’ view of learner bikes

Definitely another series please.
Top viewing. Essential viewing, even.
Ride safe 👍
Such a great series. Great hosts. Great video/audio/editing. Good to end on a 125 as well. Feels properly British, somehow.
Yes please keep making these programmes, by far my favourite thing on RUclips 👍👍👍
What a great episode. I think you have really helped Lisa to move forward. I'm really disappointed that it is the last one.
NOOOOOOOO don't stop the series. We need more. And I'm so pleased you've done a 125 special
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.

Definitely keep the series going. Nothing like it on YT, I don’t even ride. 😂
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.

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.
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.
