You're correct, in general, Suzuki are great value for the money and I've had a few. I might surprise you in an up coming video on this very subject. Another great topic.
Thank you I appreciate it. I really am happy with the Suzuki brand, they have always served me well. I have had Honda's as well and have loved them also. I am looking forward to your up and coming video Mate.
I've always owned Honda and Yamaha motorcycles and enjoyed all of them! In 2018 we bought our first Harley-Davidson and loved it! Partly because we are at the age that comfort is important plus we are traveling more now and the Harley fit the bill for us. I always said I would never own a Harley-Davidson but after owning one, I see why so many people like them. I'll admit they aren't the most reliable or the fastest but I enjoy riding my Harley more than any bike I've ever ridden. Who would've thought? Lol Thanks for a great video!
I really do have a soft spot for the Suzuki, as that is what I have ridden most of my life. I do like other brands as well, and have owned a Honda which I loved.
My favorite all-time brand is Thawunundamee. :) I grew up riding Kawasakis, so I give them the first shot when I go to buy a new bike. But I've ridden a good number of other people's bikes to know that they're all good so, if Kawasaki doesn't have a bike that suits my needs, I don't have an issue with buying a different brand. My last four bikes were a Honda, then a Kawasaki, then another Kawasaki, and then back to Honda.
For me... it's really just been Triumphs. I jumped through 3 bikes in 1.5 years, and they were all Triumphs 😊. First was the T100, then the Street Twin, then I finally found my home with the Tiger 900 GT. I tried venturing into BMWs, their bikes are certainly fantastic but somehow I didn't feel the quaintness and "friendliness" of the Triumph bikes. I know it sounds very subjective, but I guess bikes are like people, in that they have their own unique character that appeals directly to the hearts of each individual.
Harley’s (touring range) for me… suits my style of riding, long k’s, comfortable and reliable. Encouraging viewers to stick around to the end, good stuff. It’s a pity that many don’t do this due to poor attention spans. ✌️ Great vid mate!
👍👍Thanks mate. I often think about what next. If Honda have the wright bike when I'm ready I'll stick with them. Can't really go wrong with any brand I think.
Hmmm yes, apart from a couple of holdens early on (I wish I'd kept the monaro now 😯 ), I've had mostly Japanese make vehicles too ... tarago, nissan, yamaha, suzuki, subaru ... all good 😎 Also had a triumph for a few weeks, until it got rear ended and written off alas Would like a goldwing but accept it may never eventuate. Love my boully right now 😁
I love my BMW and my Harley but always been a fan of Honda’s motorcycles. Truth be told they’re so easy to maintain and sustain and everywhere you can find some one to fix yours if needed…
I've had my Honda VT750 Shadow Spirit since 2011 and can't fault it. The low seat height suits me well and is "all day" comfortable. The Honda engine will cruise along at a steady 60 MPH all day and returns a regular 65 to 70 MPG. 👍
Honda...We ride Gold Wing, and it is absolutely true about the reliability of the wings. We ride many miles a year, so the most important thing to us id reliability. Kake had a 750 Shadow and it was flawless. Honda make a great product.
I'd love a goldwing, though I'd have no use for the pillion seat. Big plus wrt its weight is the reverse gear! Otherwise its a really well balanced bike big comfy cruising/touring bike 😍
I've really had no issues with most Japanese brands, but I also have experience with German makes and even Chinese, if its a good bike its a good bike, I really liked this convo as its different and as motovloggers we always need to embrace change 👍, good share, stay blessed and safe on two wheels, your biker brother Traveller MIA 🇬🇧
Thank you Mate. I did have a Chinese CF Moto and never had a problem, although I didn't have it for long. The other bikes I have had have all been Japaneses and have-never had an issues either. Stay safe !
Did I see that right 148 BHP? No wonder I'm always behind these bikes! Anyway for me it has been Honda's all the way from 1980 to now. I did start on a Suzuki but finding my perfect bike back in 1980 Honda CB250RSA Yes I still have it and three more besides. As you said, the 8 bikes I have now just happen to be Honda and some simply came my way and I thought it's an omen and bought it. One I bought because it was registered on my birthday. Another I bought because I already had a bike with the same numbers on the reg' plate. My NT700 is my newest and best bike because it has had ultra reliability in it's 60 thousand miles now and as I've shown you can ride it for 24 hours without any ill effects and you can't do that with many bikes nowadays. I think I am more inclined to look at other bikes the next time but finances are a bit of an issue with buying brand new. My bikes at present are CB250RSA X4. CT250SR (Silk Road), VT500EF, GL650 Silverwing USA import. Finally NT700 Deauville. Ride and stay safe.
Fabulous Mate, I have had two Honda's and found them very difficult to part with. I think with all Japaneses bike you cant go wrong, reliable, fun and easy on the wallet. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment Mate.
First Honda, then Honda and... did I mention Honda? I ride a GL 1200 from 1984 and it runs like the wind! They used to make them with love. But all and all I think the best bike is wichever you have with you, I also have a 250cc from China and also love it, but I know it will not last 30 years! Great topic man, cheers!
Something about Royal Enfield and Moto Guzzi really does it for me. A strong identity and heritage with deficiencies that only add to their character and the riding experience. They're not perfect, but they don't try to be. They're running their own race.
In my teens it was Kawasaki. The rest of my life, I have been a Ducati man. But if I had to get rid of all my bikes bar one. I would keep my Moto Guzzi Griso.
I have ridden a Moto Guzzi and boy I really enjoyed it. When I was idling it rocked from side to side it was a blast ! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
No brand preference for me. Bikes are like tools you need the right one for the job. Your right about Suzuki I have a beer gsxr600 and love it. I have found it’s best to have all the major brands in your garage just in case.
I would love to have all motorcycle brands in the shed also, just getting it past the wife is the challenging part. I am greatful that she lets me have one 😎
For me it is Harley Davidson. I have had 3 Harleys, and one of them I road for 20 years. I know Harley is more pricey than other brands and not up to date on tech, you usually need to spend thousands more on making it right for you. I just like the way they look. Maybe its the history behind them, the nostalgia. But there are a lot of good brands out there. It doesn't matter what you ride, as long as you are enjoying yourself out there.
Hands down for me it is Harley-Davidson. That doesn't mean I don't like others though. How ever the company I am not fond of anymore and I won't buy anything from them that I can get used or after market. I'm not a big fan tech or LED lights. EFI and electronic ignition is all the tech I want or need. Right now I'd like to have a Honda Goldwing with the DCT and Landing Gear. But I can't afford one though.
Love my Suzuki’s! Exceptional machines for the money, especially the Gen2 Hayabusa, what a machine!! And as you say not laden with unnecessary electronics . . . but unfortunately they’re starting to 😢
I've had 2 Chinese brands & 2 Japanese brands but obviously right now I'm a fan of Suzuki. I think Honda make the best bikes though. I love the Honda Cub. I also saw your comment on my video but it's disappeared.
Weird that these comments keep disappearing. The Honda I had was really fantastic and had very few issues. I can' t seem to get away from the Suzuki's though.
I love the Honda's and loved my hornet, such a great bike. The CB 500 X is meant to be a great bike, I have had a couple of friends who have them and really love them. 😎
I've only owned Honda. So I guess it's Honda! LoL. People say Hondas are boring, my big smile disagrees with them. Fun, reliable, what's not to like. That being said, I would definitely own other brands as well. I'm loyal, but not that loyal.
Suzuki and equal Kawasaki the why?....Turn key and go with the power I hunt for low maintenance performance engines. After 5 decades I have had all of the brands and the bikes themselves are good riding but a few brands out there just give both to much trouble and not enough power.
If I was a wealthy man I would have many other brands in my shed, I do drool at some of the other expensive brands, how ever as I am on a budget the Japanese brands have ticked all my boxes for me.
I did a video comparing the new GSX S1000 and mine, the old model. I would love the new one but can' t justify it this one is just so good. The new one does have a quick shifter and more mid range torque which would be nice.
Forgive me if I don't answer some comments as some are not showing up for some reason. Has been happening a bit lately. They are just not visible in the comments section.
I like Suzuki bikes too, is such a shame the GSX-R750 got killed off. I'd not say I have a favourite manufacturer though, I'd def not say Moto Guzzi are my favourite, even though I own 2 of them and love those bikes very much! :-)
No real favourite here, though all my bikes have ben Japanese so maybe there's a theme. I've not had a Suzuki yet but have had two Yamahas, three Kawasakis and a Honda.Not fussed about the tech either. My current machine has no electronic aids whatsoever.
I’ve ridden many different types of motorcycles in my life but Harley Davidson always will be number one. Basically love the look of the Electra Glide
Agreed they are awesome looking machines, your green one really looks the part 😎

👍👍Thanks mate. I often think about what next. If Honda have the wright bike when I'm ready I'll stick with them. Can't really go wrong with any brand I think.
Your welcome Mate. I think most brands these days are great, Honda really are a true and tested reliable bike.

Certainly agree, the Honda's give many years of reliable, affordable riding mate.
Nice to see ya back on the saddle mate. Still hot in Arizona got a lot of rain and it’s somewhat starting to cool off
Heaps of rain here, very odd for South Australia.
@@MRTPR same here in Southern AZ they said that this was the wettest July ever
Suzuki, because that's all I know really. Had a gsx750f, rode a vstrom 650 and 1000. And of course my gsx1250fa bandit 🙂
I love the Suzuki's also, as you know.
What's that you say?? The suzuki?
😁
Honda...We ride Gold Wing, and it is absolutely true about the reliability of the wings. We ride many miles a year, so the most important thing to us id reliability. Kake had a 750 Shadow and it was flawless. Honda make a great product.

Goldwings are forever, it is true! Mine is from 1984 and still works great!

I really love Triumph. I want a Rocket 3 and a Speed Triple
Both fantastic bikes Mate, I agree!
@@MRTPR There’s something a bit raw and Mad Max about their design. That Triple engine whine/growl is beautiful.
Yep, the tiger street triple I had was grawrrr
By the way, I have a set of hard paniers and topbox for sale :(

Ohhh that’s tough. I’ll say; my favorite brand is the one I’m currently out riding on hahaha. I can’t pick.
Well put mate 😎
Keren,sangat keren. Aku suka sepeda motornya. Salam
I've owned 90% Honda's after 41 years in the saddle it's the brand I've grown up on since I was 6 year's old
Spot on mate, we tend to stay with what we know, the Honda's are amazing bikes. Thank you for dropping by.

I have never ridden a Harley but it is certainly on my bucket list. Thank you for the comment Mate.
@@MRTPR absolutely brother
I like big inline 4's mostly.
I do as well, however I haven't ridden a twin for a long time now, they were also fun. 😎
