      Wholeheartedly agree. All my bikes are singles and I’m glad they are, but they’re dual sport/sorta mini-ADV types that are almost exclusively ridden on backroads and trails. If I were going to do a bunch of street and highway riding, I’d go V-twin or 270 parallel without question.

    If you're in heavy traffic in the city commute maybe, ... but anywhere out of town other than on trails a 3 or 4 cylinder is the way to go. My bike's 33 years old, and high mileage, a inline 4 cylinder 1100 and although there's a very very slight vibration at lower speeds, once it hits 125 kilometers per hour (Canada) there isn't the slightest vibration in the bars, pegs, or anywhere else. I've ridden many thumpers and twins in my many years, and I may again some day just for the simplicity, but out on the open road not many people will love the vibration a thumper brings with it.

    Earlier this year I brought my Rebel 500 for its first inspection and got a Vitpilen 701 for the day (at that point I had only driven the Duke 125, the Rebel 500 and the MT-07 - I'm a new biker mind you).
    Man what a shock! I always liked how the Vitpilen looked, but never had any intention of driving it tbh. It gets some minutes of riding to get used to its jerky way in low speeds, but man is it fun to just open the throttle and see how quick it goes. Sadly I'm a shorty and the seat height is just too high for me to feel completely safe on it.
    If you feel comfortable on one, just get it!

    Great video! Not knocking your bike; I love a nice thumper, but I’ve got to bring up the fact that all the things you love about that bike are the same reasons I love the NC750X DCT. However, the NC gets better gas mileage, even easier maintenance, smoother engine, built in storage, and a transmission that makes heavy traffic quite bearable, oh, and almost half the price.

    KTM/Husky big thumper bros. stand up!!! I'm only 2 weeks in with my Husky 701 so far. Here's my thoughts on some things mentioned in this video in no particular order.
    Yes it's fast and very torquey. It's a blast!
    Sound? Meh, don't care.
    Looks? Yeah even my 500R was waaaay sexier, but eh I still like how my Husky looks.
    Yes it's fuel efficient and I am a fuel efficiency bean counter. I love that I can get 250+ km on a single tiny 13L tank, even if it is premium fuel.
    Vibrations, have to say I disagree, at least on the 690/701. I find my Husky is actually super smooth and no more vibrational than my CBR500R parallel twin was. Either I'm just more tolerant of vibrations or I don't know. I find my hands never tingle on my 701, at least no more than what my 500R already did. I was genuinely shocked how butter smooth it was to the point that it honestly feels no worse than a twin to me.
    Finally, THANK YOU Spite for that phone mount location idea. I was messing with my new quad lock mounting position last night, but could not find a satisfactory location on my handle bar for it. I like how you have it mounted, it's perfect. I'll be copying the layout, thanks. 🙂

    • @jeffruebens8355
      @jeffruebens8355 3 года назад

      Some say if it starts quick, the valve adjustment is likely good. If it starts slow even with a new battery, probably best to get new spark plugs and check the valve adjustment. If you do a lot of track days, valve checks become more important for not losing a valve, holing a piston or throwing a connecting rod.

    As someone who's owned multiple bikes, I like thumpers. They're narrower and lighter, so the bike is more flickable. They have power down low where you need it. They're economical; even if a multiple cylinder bike has the same displacement, it'll use more fuel due to increased friction and rotational inertia. They're easy to work on for sure! And even the vibes can be largely tamed with a good counter balancer. Compare an old thumper vs. a new one with a counter balancer, and you'll see what I mean.
    Secondly, if you want good looking thumpers, Royal Enfield makes a few; in fact, they're known for thumpers. Their new Meteor 350 has a good counter balancer, and I can't really feel the vibes. It looks good too. The same applies to their new Classic 350; it's a great looking bike with that post war aesthetic, while using the same J series engine from the Meteor. OTOH, on my old 1982 Honda FT500 Ascot, I was DONE after an hour or so; the vibes were that bad!

    Have 4 bikes: ‘13 Super Tenere, ‘93 Guzzi 1000 S, ‘20 Svartpilen 401 and ‘21 Honda CRF300L Rally. Until I bought my 2 small singles, I’d run around everywhere on my Tenere mostly. However, I now only use the big twin for two-up and long distance riding, as the singles are so easy and fun to buzz on, I don’t even contemplate riding the big Yamaha. My 1000 S is a hoot, but it’s built for smooth, mountain roads (Italian bikes like twisties) due to an antiquated suspension, rendering it cumbersome due to our deteriorating infrastructure (potholes, gravel, etc).
    The Svartpilen 401 is by far the most fun I’ve had in 30+ years of riding street and owning dozens of bikes. The new CRF300L Rally is a great bike for going just about anywhere, so long as you’re not trying to break any land speed records. It’s a great all around bike, too. So, if I had to choose an engine configuration for daily use, I’d also side with my singles, but, more than anything, a lighter more nimble bike, will almost always be the bike you’ll roll out to run errands, commute or do a buzz around on if time is short.

  • @psychalogy

    As much as I loved my single CBR250R, which is still a brilliant commuter bike, the big triple on my Triumph 955 makes a super compelling argument with the extra torque, power, and factory built luggage options. I’ll take the 955 triple every day of the week as its turbine smooth and comfortably beats anything that’s not a Tesla in ludicrous mode away from the lights.

    I have a VFR800 like he had. Thing is, you don't need to do anything on this engine except change the oil. It just works. It's a perfect embodiment of Honda's reliable reputation. Even doing the valves at all is a bit controversial, most people get by perfectly fine without doing it. I just racked up 14 thousand miles in two (canadian) years of daily commute and I only changed the air filter, brake pads, and the coolant just for good measure. Oh, and I dropped it a couple of times.. so I swapped a fairing, sidebag and a mirror, all found easily on local classified ads :)

    I prefer twins for street. A properly designed v-twin has vibes down low, and a section of rpm that are smooth and perfect for the highway. Can be lightweight if you get a performance v-twin, or low to the ground like cruisers are, so they feel lighter.
    Each engine has it's place. I am happy we have more singles, triples, and v-4's than a decade or two ago where it was all i-4, vtwins, or ... that's it.
