Perfect timing, thank you very much for this video. I just started to wrench on my cb-1 and needed some podcast-thing to listen to.

@@bena3341you may call him an idiot, yet still he is the reason we got to discover spite. Most of us here watched yammie noob channel before w got to discover spite.
Been said already; but Out of Spite is perfect. Thanks for what you do, Spite. I’m going to ruffle some feathers but the Harley Road Glide is the most overrated in my opinion. I see them everywhere. And I just don’t like them. I think the softail and Iron 883 look cooler. Edit: and of course my Bonneville had to be on the list 😞. I was looking at the Bonnie or the Trident. I didn’t go with the Trident because I know I would have acted like a hooligan on it and I don’t need to end up in the hospital or the morgue at 53 years old.
This podcast had me laughing, nodding along, and walking away feeling great. Excellent start to the podcast, and way better than the Yammie Noob podcast 👏 👍 👌
A terrific podcast! Great to see the gang all together! Would love future episodes with: 1) the “most underrated motorcycles” (or sleeper bikes that don’t deserve the hate) 2) what would be your ideal or perfect ‘3 bike collection’ 3) what is your ‘holy grail’ or dream bike (and why) 4) what are current motorcycle trends that needs to stop And how about calling the podcast “The Pontificating Corner” hosted by Spite, Whitney & Josh?!
As a placeholder I like The SCPC (Spite's Corner Podcast) Good to see(hear) you back in the podcast format. I feel like there's a wide range of topics y'all can cover here and add your own color to. I'm not a huge moto gp fan but hearing y'all cover it from time to time would still be enjoyable for me.
Spite, you don't get the boxer engine because you've never really ridden one. It's not all about the offroad. An R1250R puts out 135hp and 105 ft-lb of torque on a suspension that can handle anything the road can through at it. You have to ride this bike as your daily rider, which means every day, and you'll soon see how much more that 105 ft-lbs of torque means on the street than having 200hp. This bike is a hooligan with more than enough muscle to keep up with anyone on the street. The R1250RS is probably the ultimate sport-touring bike available today.
I just can’t take that versys650 criticism seriously, something thats very reliable and adequate in what it’s supposed to do is a good bike. That elitist bullshit about “soul” really annoyed me on yammie’s channel, I wish it stayed there too. Edit: I dont own a versys650 Also I don’t think you’ll find many people overrating it, most just accept it for what it is
I am just at the 10 minute mark it's already a very pleasant thing to listen to. Josh fits pretty well in the perfect combo of Whitney and Spite. Name recommendations : Rev Pod, Spite's Sofa. will update if any other names pop out in my head.
Loving spites corner. Great to see you three together, it really works. It always did. Great to see you breakaway. I like the name 'out of spite' but regardless Ill be listneing no matter what name you land on. keep up the great work.
I didn’t know I needed this, but it’s as though all my favorite parts of some other channel are coalescing around something new, and I love it! ❤❤❤ 👏 👏👏
Dude don't be shy about taking some of the elements that were fun about the Yam podcast. You basically made that podcast. I liked the news segment a lot. Also memes.
Enjoyed this a lot and really hope to see it on Spotify in the future. I can see myself listening to this in my helmet like all the other podcasts I enjoy! Thanks again you guys and keep making these.
Spite: Dunking on BMW, due to "archaic" engines Also Spite: HARLEY-DAVIDSON...FTW!!! Ummm...Spite...I think they recently found some T-Rex fossils in Nevada, and there was a Harley V-twin next to it.
Bought mine too and I love it. I love the V-twin sound. The motorcycle in itself is nothing special. No special features or something like that but that‘s not what this motorcycle is about. It‘s reliability is almost legendary. You get a ton of motorcycle for a relatively small amount of money. It has a decent amount of power, doesn’t weight to much and therefore is probably the perfect bike for beginners.
@@Silidor372 100% agree with what you said. It’s reliability is iconic. For a beginner bike it’s incredible I’m looking at moving up to an MT09 or MT10 in 1-2 years but I haven’t really made up my mind yet, if I want to stay in the naked class or go with something more sport or adventure oriented. I’m a bigger guy so I do need a bigger size bike so I don’t look too cramped on it.
I sat on one for the first time a week ago back to back with an mt-07 the sv650 just felt much better to me. It’s a stepping stone motorcycle for me , but if I find a new one under 7k and get the unlimited miles /no deductible 5 yr warranty I’m in.
I own a Bonnie, it's a Triumph Speedmaster. Actually my first bike, been riding 2 years now. Absolutely love it, smooth engine, very reliable, looks great in my opinion, I also fitted it with the mini ape hangers to fit my preferred ergonomics better. Don't regret buying it one bit, and down here in Houston I guess it's not as common to see as in Austin lol because I have yet to see another rider with a Bonnie out in the wild and I'm a daily rider. As much as I love it, it is kind of a beginner bike and I'll be trading her in this year for something a little bigger. Great podcast btw, love listening to yall talk in the background
@@monkmoto1887 I've seen the same, most of the commuter guys I often see are riding adv bikes or sport tour bikes. Usually only see the cruiser boys on the weekends
Love it. It's not silly if it works. Keeping it basic definitely wins in my favor. I love the basic setup! Basic table, good mic's, useable interface, smooth transitions (I know you're pissed about the sync, we all know you'll do better) I think over-rated is chasing horsepower numbers for motorcycles that are destined to be ridden on the street, but to each their own! Ride what *you* like, not what everyone else thinks. I LOVE Regular Car Reviews btw...he cracks me up
To be fair. The other day, pulling onto the highway, I saw a bike roll by and I told my fiance "oh, I think that's a versys 650 cause of the luggage bags" cause there was nothing else identifiable about the bike. And we sat at this light for about another minute and then took off and caught up to the versys at the next light and she was all "Oh, we caught up to him!" In a 2013 Corolla sport. Got his ass, you're a 2013 Toyota Corolla non sport. A great vehicle but... Not setting anyone's hair on fire. (jealous of the storage, jealous of the mileage)
I prefer you three doing a rocky podcast while sitting in your garage over the... Well... The... "Bald Guy" in his shiny studio 100/100 times! Keep on rocking and thank you so much for producing this awesome content.
This ruled. Love listening to all the different perspectives and experiences. It's especially helpful for me who, at the crusty age of 37, has finally convinced my wife to let me learn how to ride
all the engines are archaic at this point. want a parrel twin with 270 crank? theyve been here since the 60s. weve had inline 3s and 4s since the 70s and v4s got huge in the 80s, probably bigger than they are now sales wise. engine tech has been stag in the race world since the early 00s if not late 90s. if you ask me, the industry is going backwards if not shriveling up. big singles and parrell twins is half the market even in the big highway bike market and thats really telling. its like being in the 50s again.
@@monkmoto1887 I'd make a couple corrections to what you said. Indian had an inline 4 motorcycle from 1928 until 1942, so the inline 4 has been out a very long time. Is the cross plane inline 4 not a new development? I honestly don't know. Honda had a lot of weird shit in motorcycle racing, their oval piston engine, the V5... I'm not sure when that went away, but I know it was recently so yeah, definitely post 90s for race engines. I seen to remember Honda having a 5 valve engine, but it may have also been one of those previously mentioned engines. The Harley 45 degree VTwin though is archaic. It's been little changed since the 1930s. The boxer twin is the same. And, boxer twin development went like this; 40 years ago, we'll oil cool the heads. 30 years ago, we'll water cool the heads. 20 years ago, we'll move the cams to the top. Harley development went like this; 5 years ago, we'll oil cool the heads... And yes, that is being a bit facetious. I ride a VRod for Pete's sake. And the PanAm is pretty awesome tech wise. The heavyweight Cruiser 45° VTwin though is pretty long in the tooth though. And, so is BMWs boxer by all means. Fact, Harley had a liquid cooled V4 in the 80s to be called the Harley Nova and they shelved it.
I'm a 59 year old guy that's been riding since the early 80s I have a 76 Suzuki GT 750 (highly modified) a 66 BSA Lightning (lightly modified),and a 79 Harley Shovel Head (all Harleys are Modified) I enjoyed this a lot. I've been watching Highside / Lowside podcast on RUclips for years and your content was every bit as good even if the production value wasn't. To me, I understand you guys don't have Revzilla money, but still managed to make a podcast that was 95% as good with 1/95th money. I am looking forward to more of the same. As a play on Spite's "Corner", I would like to suggest Spite "In The Round" as a possible name. Thanks... More please...
And we have learned that if your going to be a Goldwing rider you should be a paramedic karate teacher who makes their own salsa and carries a gun and then go work at Target optical.
Don't usually bother watching podcasts as I'm the type of gremlin that doesn't see the point in watching a group of people gassing about their hobbies when I can just go out and meet people with the same passions. But I must say that I was all ears during that whole podcast. You've done a great job Spite and I look forward to your next podcast!
Loved seen the 3 of you there. Had me at Britney and Josh. They both complement really well with you. I will for sure follow this podcast if you decide to make it a thing. Good riddance.
I second all the comments about seeing you guys together for this inaugural podcast. Your friendships with each other, and the good vibes that result, are truly a psychological restorative. Keep that sweet broadcast medicine flowing guys! All the best ...
I like my 2021 Kawasaki Z 900 RS café sound. They specifically tuned it from the factory and I think it’s perfect. Other than the fact that factory exhaust weighs a ton on modern bikes, the sound of my bike I find to be very satisfying
I have a newer harley-davidson, the only reason is that mine was cheaper than a gold wing and nothing else has the dealer network. I really hope to do some bigger mile trips with it.
21:00 W800 Josh is talking about is Kawasaki, not Yamaha 30:45 Whitney actually described my former couple Dyna.. and it sounded Perfect with stock straight pipe (coz it's 2003 FXD) but man it's frustrating to listen to it when I was at my 9000 miles trip over the Europe. Never again I'm getting loud pipes
'22 scrambler desert sled rider. It definitely has an odd sitting position and cooks my cajones in the warmer months, but love the versatility, light weight, and looks vs other dual purpose bikes. Needs serious upgrades for serious off-roading in sand and mud (bigger wheels, and better suspension). Would not get a scrambler without off-road capability, not worth the effort to maintain and discomfort. Agree with MT-07 for most overrated 😝
I think the r nine t sounds pretty good. I don't really understand the hate for the exhaust note. Granted, I own one, but I don't really love it the way I have loved my other bikes. It's so uncomfortable for me
SV650, I do not accept criticism of such marvelous invention. It takes a lot for any manufacturer to come up with a one time big hit, let alone a big hit that has lasted decades. I guess for the extreme talent riders the SV is so perfect that can be boring, but for most average riders, the SV package such a punch in all the right areas that there is nothing like it out there. I am heart broken that Suzuki seems to have ditched the 90 degrees VTwin design for the parallel twin design, that VTwin engine is the best most coolest full of character and reliable engine that Suzuki has ever done. The biggest mistake I ever did was to trade my 2013 SV for a 2018 Versys because of the bigger fuel capacity, only to discover I hate that parallel twin. This only shows how people crave for change, there was a time where the SV was all the rave, not it gets all the hat, the new rave is the MT 07 which is tune like a Miata, it feels that is never at rest, the engine is so reved that it would take a 9th gear overdrive to calm it down, the MT07 stress me out. I could ride the SV650 forever, it is just that comfortable, fun and relaxed, it is the perfect bike for me.
So since Spite only buys his motorcycle based on it's exhaust note, guess that means he only buys his beer based on whether the mountain disappears when it's cold enough? Signed....Boxer Owner.
I wonder if Spite is just too heavy to enjoy the versys. It's no rocket. Nor a beauty contestant. However, 0 to 60 in around 4 sec and 1/4 mile around 12.5 isn't that bad. I would LOVE to see him do a 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile pull on it and see how slow it is. I also feel like most internet personalities despise 180° p-twins so much that they can't see the positive attributes of any motorcycle containing one.
42:10 / Whitney "Didn't understand ..." No, sweetheart, I think the poster didn't understand what came out of his mouth/fingers. Just comparing everything they had in 2018/2019 to what I rode this year, you can't lump them with all HD after the '70s. Too much change (good and bad) is happening in York, PA and beyond.
Yall shld do a weekly(or however often) moto related puzzle kind of like Car Talk used to do(or something similar). Something to make listeners ponder and engage with and tune-in next episode to hear the answer.
I'm with Whitney, the SV650 got an absolutely mythic reputation for being all things to all people, but I owned one and it was relentlessly boring and without personality. It at least does you the courtesy of making a better noise than the Kawasaki p-twin.
I completely agree with the first pick of all three and partially agree with Josh's second pick, I agree the Bonneville 900 and 1200 are over rated but the Speed twin is an awesome bike. Whitney's spot on re the SV650 it was once a great bike but is now outdated but IMO Suzuki should've upped the capacity and changed the styling and it would've been good for another decade.
@@yonniboy1 Yeah it really is something special imo, I mean it can go toe to toe with modernish 600cc supersports aslong as you have modern Rubber haha
Not part of the discord yet. But, Sportbikes in general are overrated for road use. They're track bikes with lights. Also, very good first episode. Easy to digest. It's also nice having a 3rd person to bounce thoughts or ideas off of to get that different perspective.
I don't need a loud exhaust. But the sound of a bike is a huge part of the experience for me. It's not just a sound, it's also a vibration. You both feel and hear it. If I dislike how a bike sounds there is no way I would own it.
I'm very much in the "fake old" camp. I love classic style but don't want to deal with classic maintenance. I'm not mechanically skilled enough to deal with anything advanced and I live in an apartment complex that doesn't allow vehicle maintenance on site.
28:56 - I agree w/ Whitney. The noise is way down my list - it used to be quite high, though. I dislike all il4 bikes (unless they're racing at the Isle of Man), apart from the R1 cross planes. Over-square v-twins can be good. I like to be unobtrusive and waft passed traffic. I think it's classier, and has far less ego than the attention-grabbing, unnecessarily loud bikes. I don't know how loud my zx9rs are, but they're on OEM zorsts, so unless they're up around 10k I think they are pretty quiet. I wear decent earplugs so I can't really tell.
it almost seems like YN is running this show, seeing as whitney and josh still show up on his channel all the time too. fake internet fight to drum up hype anyone???
Nah I think Spite and YN are pretty much done with each other after how that all went down, and I think Whitney and Josh are trying to mostly remain neutral and play nice for both sides, but if push came to shove and they had to choose then they would be on team Spite, you can tell they have more fun with Spite. I feel like they are actual friends outside of work/RUclips, whereas their friendship with YN is more just like a professional sort of friendship
Completely agree with @whitney_does about the Ducati Scrambler being overrated. It's an awesome looking bike. I want it so bad for the looks, but compared to other bikes functionality it's sub-par. as Whitney said its desired by city dwellers but it is terrible for the job. As a city dweller, she's spot on.
Only problem with calling the Versys 650 "overrated" is that there has to be a ton of people saying how amazing the bike is. But I don't think anyone is saying the Versys is amazing just that it does everything adequately and easily.
Haven't read the other comments, but to me, any Harley stands out heads and shoulders above the others. Not bad bikes but totally not worth the asking price. BMW and Ducati is up there too.
This was a pretty good listen while getting lunch ready. Fun topic. Thanks guys. To chime in a few of my own thoughts on the topics. I have yet to get an exhaust on my 701 SM. Looked at getting a Wings a few times, but....I don't know, I just haven't been able to pull the trigger on it. I put on a Cumpan dash on it, seat concepts seat, engine guard, a windscreen (which I have not put on 2 years later and probably won't...woops!). Yeah, I just felt other upgrades had more priority (and usefulness) over just an exhaust. I want to do some long range touring at some point also. I can't decide what bike I'd want to move on to for that though. I keep bouncing around between sports tourers and more road focused sport touring ADVs. Someday I'll come to a conclusion. For now....701 touring!!! lol
Whitney: "I don't like Triumphs." Also Whitney: "I've only ridden the Trident." I'll also push back on critiquing "retro" styling. What does "retro" even mean? Most styles have been around for 50+ years. I mean, they've been making plasticky "futuristic" bikes since the 70s so why aren't modern sportbikes also "retro?" Really, there's just a few different style themes that are constantly being updated but keeping the same overall look. And we ride modern "retros" because we like horsepower, fuel efficiency, reliability, and brakes that actually work. "If I want an old looking bike I'll buy an old one." lmao, spoken by someone who's never owned an old bike.
Looking for a name for the podcast? Just go over Whitney's one line zingers & pick your favourite. "Melted my taint" & Rock Hard Cafe" are 2 brilliant standouts just from this video.
Haven't even rode my mt07 yet. Bought it before winter and had them store it. It can't be as cheap as my kpm lifan 200 from Amazon. Still love that little guy for getting me into motorcycles.
I would suggest the new new Trident as being overated. I have owned several Triumph motorcycles, to include a Bonnie. I rode a Trident at IMS last year and it just didn't impress me. To be fair, I hopped on the Trident immeadiately after riding a Speed Triple RS.
It’s not that spite hates the Kawasaki 650, it’s that he hates people who like what the Kawasaki 650 is, he’s fundamentally looking and likes different things and the amount of people who do want it ensures that they will keep making it. Spite is wrong about “boring” dependable, affordable motorcycles.
I really hope y'all enjoy this format, it's a ton of fun for us to make, and we're working on updates already! We're also open to feedback so if you've got any suggestions drop em here!

all the engines are archaic at this point. want a parrel twin with 270 crank? theyve been here since the 60s. weve had inline 3s and 4s since the 70s and v4s got huge in the 80s, probably bigger than they are now sales wise. engine tech has been stag in the race world since the early 00s if not late 90s. if you ask me, the industry is going backwards if not shriveling up. big singles and parrell twins is half the market even in the big highway bike market and thats really telling. its like being in the 50s again.
@@monkmoto1887 I'd make a couple corrections to what you said. Indian had an inline 4 motorcycle from 1928 until 1942, so the inline 4 has been out a very long time. Is the cross plane inline 4 not a new development? I honestly don't know. Honda had a lot of weird shit in motorcycle racing, their oval piston engine, the V5... I'm not sure when that went away, but I know it was recently so yeah, definitely post 90s for race engines. I seen to remember Honda having a 5 valve engine, but it may have also been one of those previously mentioned engines.
The Harley 45 degree VTwin though is archaic. It's been little changed since the 1930s. The boxer twin is the same. And, boxer twin development went like this; 40 years ago, we'll oil cool the heads. 30 years ago, we'll water cool the heads. 20 years ago, we'll move the cams to the top. Harley development went like this; 5 years ago, we'll oil cool the heads...
And yes, that is being a bit facetious. I ride a VRod for Pete's sake. And the PanAm is pretty awesome tech wise. The heavyweight Cruiser 45° VTwin though is pretty long in the tooth though. And, so is BMWs boxer by all means.
Fact, Harley had a liquid cooled V4 in the 80s to be called the Harley Nova and they shelved it.
Yeah he’s unlimited free passes for the crap that is Harley, but affordable, reliable, plain ..... no passes there.
Just happy you all are doing well. Keep it going. 👍🤪🇨🇦
Name the pod cast "Quick Shifters"
That was great. Definitely need more of this. And having the 3 of you together is awesome.
I'm a 59 year old guy that's been riding since the early 80s I have a 76 Suzuki GT 750 (highly modified) a 66 BSA Lightning (lightly modified),and a 79 Harley Shovel Head (all Harleys are Modified) I enjoyed this a lot. I've been watching Highside / Lowside podcast on RUclips for years and your content was every bit as good even if the production value wasn't. To me, I understand you guys don't have Revzilla money, but still managed to make a podcast that was 95% as good with 1/95th money. I am looking forward to more of the same. As a play on Spite's "Corner", I would like to suggest Spite "In The Round" as a possible name. Thanks... More please...
name generators are great
1. Parsley Speed Goes Nine Times to the Devil
2. Confessions of an Opinion Freak
3. Velocity Killed the Cat
And we have learned that if your going to be a Goldwing rider you should be a paramedic karate teacher who makes their own salsa and carries a gun and then go work at Target optical.
This is such a "The Boys Are Back in Town" moment 😎
Don't usually bother watching podcasts as I'm the type of gremlin that doesn't see the point in watching a group of people gassing about their hobbies when I can just go out and meet people with the same passions. But I must say that I was all ears during that whole podcast. You've done a great job Spite and I look forward to your next podcast!
Loved seen the 3 of you there. Had me at Britney and Josh. They both complement really well with you. I will for sure follow this podcast if you decide to make it a thing. Good riddance.
I second all the comments about seeing you guys together for this inaugural podcast. Your friendships with each other, and the good vibes that result, are truly a psychological restorative. Keep that sweet broadcast medicine flowing guys! All the best ...
i like this a lot, normaly i dont watch podcasts but this one is really good, cant wait for new one...
Loved the show. So casual and light hearted. Keep them coming
I like my 2021 Kawasaki Z 900 RS café sound. They specifically tuned it from the factory and I think it’s perfect. Other than the fact that factory exhaust weighs a ton on modern bikes, the sound of my bike I find to be very satisfying
the best triple i couldve wished for a podcast, just like my yamaha, nice! more of this please!
IMHO, quality time spent on just about ANY bike (w/ the rubber side down) is a good day🏁
The Not a Noob podcast. Lol
“Melted my taint” 😂😅 Whitney is hilarious
"Rock hard cafe"
600 or 1000cc sport bikes because you can't abuse them on the street like they are meant to be abused (unless you like running from cops)
Bike banter or biker banter sounds like it would be a good name for a podcast
LMAO the rock hard cafe part killed me 😂
I have a newer harley-davidson, the only reason is that mine was cheaper than a gold wing and nothing else has the dealer network. I really hope to do some bigger mile trips with it.
Your podcasts are the best, great fun and info. Thanks much 👍
Ok, Spite hates the versys 650 but owns a KLR 650?
I have no opinion on either bike, but it seems like a weird juxtaposition to me.
I'm aware of the irony. And I do think the KLR is a bit bland, I'm okay to admit it.
Versys just needs some 270 action and a bit more CC's. I'll be getting one if kawi does the right thing.
21:00 W800 Josh is talking about is Kawasaki, not Yamaha
30:45 Whitney actually described my former couple Dyna.. and it sounded Perfect with stock straight pipe (coz it's 2003 FXD) but man it's frustrating to listen to it when I was at my 9000 miles trip over the Europe. Never again I'm getting loud pipes
'22 scrambler desert sled rider. It definitely has an odd sitting position and cooks my cajones in the warmer months, but love the versatility, light weight, and looks vs other dual purpose bikes. Needs serious upgrades for serious off-roading in sand and mud (bigger wheels, and better suspension). Would not get a scrambler without off-road capability, not worth the effort to maintain and discomfort. Agree with MT-07 for most overrated 😝
Love seeing josh and Whitney on here
W800 is injected, and the motor was designed in the late 90's with the bevel drive cam. The original Kawi W1 twin was a BSA-ish clone
I think the r nine t sounds pretty good. I don't really understand the hate for the exhaust note. Granted, I own one, but I don't really love it the way I have loved my other bikes. It's so uncomfortable for me
Dope The longer the better. Keep up the great work guys!!
That’s what she said.
hell yeah, i was hoping you would do a podcast! love the revzilla one but it’s over for now and i need to consume more motorcycle content. 😂
Extra detail. Anyone who owns an SV650 has probably seen a "DIY Dealer Mode" tool. That thing says alot about the bike.
SV650, I do not accept criticism of such marvelous invention. It takes a lot for any manufacturer to come up with a one time big hit, let alone a big hit that has lasted decades. I guess for the extreme talent riders the SV is so perfect that can be boring, but for most average riders, the SV package such a punch in all the right areas that there is nothing like it out there. I am heart broken that Suzuki seems to have ditched the 90 degrees VTwin design for the parallel twin design, that VTwin engine is the best most coolest full of character and reliable engine that Suzuki has ever done. The biggest mistake I ever did was to trade my 2013 SV for a 2018 Versys because of the bigger fuel capacity, only to discover I hate that parallel twin. This only shows how people crave for change, there was a time where the SV was all the rave, not it gets all the hat, the new rave is the MT 07 which is tune like a Miata, it feels that is never at rest, the engine is so reved that it would take a 9th gear overdrive to calm it down, the MT07 stress me out. I could ride the SV650 forever, it is just that comfortable, fun and relaxed, it is the perfect bike for me.
So since Spite only buys his motorcycle based on it's exhaust note, guess that means he only buys his beer based on whether the mountain disappears when it's cold enough? Signed....Boxer Owner.
Josh, Thanks for clarifying what the intent is, that its not to just sht on peoples bikes.
I wonder if Spite is just too heavy to enjoy the versys. It's no rocket. Nor a beauty contestant. However, 0 to 60 in around 4 sec and 1/4 mile around 12.5 isn't that bad. I would LOVE to see him do a 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile pull on it and see how slow it is. I also feel like most internet personalities despise 180° p-twins so much that they can't see the positive attributes of any motorcycle containing one.
You have come to make me never be able to look at the Hard Rock Cafe the same again.
Spite, Whitney, and Josh. This Channel keeps getting better.
Props to Whitney for defending the Gold Wing!
Seriously, good show everyone. Looking forward to more episodes.
42:10 / Whitney "Didn't understand ..."
No, sweetheart, I think the poster didn't understand what came out of his mouth/fingers. Just comparing everything they had in 2018/2019 to what I rode this year, you can't lump them with all HD after the '70s. Too much change (good and bad) is happening in York, PA and beyond.
Yall shld do a weekly(or however often) moto related puzzle kind of like Car Talk used to do(or something similar). Something to make listeners ponder and engage with and tune-in next episode to hear the answer.
As a diehard fan of the old CarTalk puzzler, this is a brilliant idea for these guys!
I'm with Whitney, the SV650 got an absolutely mythic reputation for being all things to all people, but I owned one and it was relentlessly boring and without personality. It at least does you the courtesy of making a better noise than the Kawasaki p-twin.
I think Whitney nailed it. The Rock Hard Cafe Podcast 😂😂😂
whitney try hard with the dirty jokes
The last line sounds like the name for an awsome Spite's Corner segment "Whitney's Garage"
I completely agree with the first pick of all three and partially agree with Josh's second pick, I agree the Bonneville 900 and 1200 are over rated but the Speed twin is an awesome bike. Whitney's spot on re the SV650 it was once a great bike but is now outdated but IMO Suzuki should've upped the capacity and changed the styling and it would've been good for another decade.
check out the Sv1000 which they did before. Basically every suzuki sv650 till euro5 is a really good choice
@@jimmyneutron5679 I had the naked SV1000 back in 2002, IMO it was one of the most under rated bikes ever.
@@yonniboy1 Yeah it really is something special imo, I mean it can go toe to toe with modernish 600cc supersports aslong as you have modern Rubber haha
There is a nice skeleton on the motorcycle in Josh’s Garage. Lol! 😅
Not part of the discord yet. But, Sportbikes in general are overrated for road use. They're track bikes with lights.
Also, very good first episode. Easy to digest. It's also nice having a 3rd person to bounce thoughts or ideas off of to get that different perspective.
I don't need a loud exhaust. But the sound of a bike is a huge part of the experience for me. It's not just a sound, it's also a vibration. You both feel and hear it. If I dislike how a bike sounds there is no way I would own it.
I'm very much in the "fake old" camp. I love classic style but don't want to deal with classic maintenance. I'm not mechanically skilled enough to deal with anything advanced and I live in an apartment complex that doesn't allow vehicle maintenance on site.
I agree with you- I will probably end up on a z900rs or speed twin 1200. I wanna put 10k a year on , not have it constantly needing work
I thought it was blasphemous when SV650 was the first thing that came to my mind as "overrated" but I'm glad Whitney had the same idea
28:56 - I agree w/ Whitney. The noise is way down my list - it used to be quite high, though. I dislike all il4 bikes (unless they're racing at the Isle of Man), apart from the R1 cross planes. Over-square v-twins can be good.
I like to be unobtrusive and waft passed traffic. I think it's classier, and has far less ego than the attention-grabbing, unnecessarily loud bikes. I don't know how loud my zx9rs are, but they're on OEM zorsts, so unless they're up around 10k I think they are pretty quiet. I wear decent earplugs so I can't really tell.
You should invite yammie noob to as a guest to your podcast 😂
it almost seems like YN is running this show, seeing as whitney and josh still show up on his channel all the time too. fake internet fight to drum up hype anyone???
Nah I think Spite and YN are pretty much done with each other after how that all went down, and I think Whitney and Josh are trying to mostly remain neutral and play nice for both sides, but if push came to shove and they had to choose then they would be on team Spite, you can tell they have more fun with Spite. I feel like they are actual friends outside of work/RUclips, whereas their friendship with YN is more just like a professional sort of friendship
Completely agree with @whitney_does about the Ducati Scrambler being overrated. It's an awesome looking bike. I want it so bad for the looks, but compared to other bikes functionality it's sub-par. as Whitney said its desired by city dwellers but it is terrible for the job. As a city dweller, she's spot on.
Brother Spite, Whitney, and Josh!!! I love that you guys are all working together. Keep up the solid work
Only problem with calling the Versys 650 "overrated" is that there has to be a ton of people saying how amazing the bike is. But I don't think anyone is saying the Versys is amazing just that it does everything adequately and easily.
Haven't read the other comments, but to me, any Harley stands out heads and shoulders above the others. Not bad bikes but totally not worth the asking price. BMW and Ducati is up there too.
This was a pretty good listen while getting lunch ready. Fun topic. Thanks guys.
To chime in a few of my own thoughts on the topics. I have yet to get an exhaust on my 701 SM. Looked at getting a Wings a few times, but....I don't know, I just haven't been able to pull the trigger on it. I put on a Cumpan dash on it, seat concepts seat, engine guard, a windscreen (which I have not put on 2 years later and probably won't...woops!). Yeah, I just felt other upgrades had more priority (and usefulness) over just an exhaust.
I want to do some long range touring at some point also. I can't decide what bike I'd want to move on to for that though. I keep bouncing around between sports tourers and more road focused sport touring ADVs. Someday I'll come to a conclusion. For now....701 touring!!! lol
Whitney: "I don't like Triumphs." Also Whitney: "I've only ridden the Trident." I'll also push back on critiquing "retro" styling. What does "retro" even mean? Most styles have been around for 50+ years. I mean, they've been making plasticky "futuristic" bikes since the 70s so why aren't modern sportbikes also "retro?" Really, there's just a few different style themes that are constantly being updated but keeping the same overall look. And we ride modern "retros" because we like horsepower, fuel efficiency, reliability, and brakes that actually work. "If I want an old looking bike I'll buy an old one." lmao, spoken by someone who's never owned an old bike.
Looking for a name for the podcast? Just go over Whitney's one line zingers & pick your favourite. "Melted my taint" & Rock Hard Cafe" are 2 brilliant standouts just from this video.
You guys are amazing! Really good people, grate to hear your voices in on podcast! Hoping for more
First time listening to you guys, it’s awesome and fun and knowledgeable can’t wait to hear more!
Spite and Whitney's excellent adventure!!!
Haven't even rode my mt07 yet. Bought it before winter and had them store it. It can't be as cheap as my kpm lifan 200 from Amazon. Still love that little guy for getting me into motorcycles.
I would suggest the new new Trident as being overated. I have owned several Triumph motorcycles, to include a Bonnie. I rode a Trident at IMS last year and it just didn't impress me. To be fair, I hopped on the Trident immeadiately after riding a Speed Triple RS.
Absolutely love the content Spite. Didn’t know you had your own channel and didn’t know that you got let go by you know. Long format videos are 👌🏻👌🏻
Very COOL Enjoyed this Immensely looking Forward to more from the 3 of you. 👍👍😎
It’s not that spite hates the Kawasaki 650, it’s that he hates people who like what the Kawasaki 650 is, he’s fundamentally looking and likes different things and the amount of people who do want it ensures that they will keep making it. Spite is wrong about “boring” dependable, affordable motorcycles.
