Great to see a top 5 without a GS!!! Its been a brilliant TMF year despite the troubles Andy, Merry Christmas to all the Flyers and here's to a healthier year next year!!! Oh and Merry Christmas to the other 186,999 subscribers!!!
Just bought a new 2020 CBR 650R I think it could make the list of practical everyday sports bike smooth and well mannered yet still capable. Great bike for newish riders. Looking forward to more of your videos in the new year .
@@TheMissendenFlyer My one complaint on the bike would be the lcd display. It’s a little dim in direct sunlight so if you can remember to set the display to the max brightness at the dealership. Also the rpm gauge is a little small. Otherwise it’s a fantastic bike. I think you will enjoy it.
Haha .... I stand corrected glad to see the. Goldwing at number 1. I have the 2007 model I purchased beginning of 2020 with only 3,800 miles on it!! Very impressed, first wing I have had and it is an incredible machine. Have a good 2021 and look forward to more video’s
@@richardcollins586 Things evolve. Trellis frame is beautiful. I have no argument with your tastes. New one seems to have a lot of potential. We’ll see.
"Going out for a ride on my fifteen grand, 160 mph, super hi-tech Panigale, love" "Oh, could you pick up some milk while you're at it?" "No, of course not. Sorry"
I'm really not surprised you had the Goldwing as number one. You could tell from the video's how much you loved that bike. Happy Christmas Andy. Lets hope 2021 is a better year for all of us.
I can’t understand people who slag off gold wings I’ve never ridden one or can’t see me ever spending that sort of money on a bike but ... would love a go on one. It’s a bike isnt it they are all bikes to me 👍 cheers TMF
Exactly John - those that criticize are generally those that have never ridden one, I was converted within the first 50 yards of my first ride on one....amazing bit of kit (one trick pony I admit but still one of my dream bikes.....along with those other 4!!) - Merry Christmas to you....
I have a Honda SH300i scooter. It's the same colour as the the Gold Wing reviewed. One day it would be great to upgrade, just a bit. One is super-sized and the other isn't but I think they would both be fun.
Thanks for year full of great videos. To you, your family and all your viewers a very merry Christmas. Looking forward to the next year hoping it will be better for all. As always have fun but stay safe.
Glad to see Triumph Tiger 850 S / 900 GT / GT Pro / 900 Rally / Rally Pro in your top 5 👍🏼. Merry Xmas. Between the expensive 900 GT Pro & the accessible 850 Sport, there is the 900 GT to strongly consider 😘😍🥰.
Hopefully there will be more love for the Japanese bikes next year. Still love the Z900rs, Ninja 1000 sx, CB650R, Tracer 900 GT and the GSX-S750. Merry Xmas and a happy New Year 🎄😊
How about an Indian? Do you not get them in the UK? The FTS1200 is pretty amazing. I have been poo pooing them till I looked hard at what they were doing. They are what Harley should have been 20 years ago.
Thanks for the Christmas top 5 list TMF. A nice one to sneak in after Coronation Street when the other half was having a Xmas nap ! The Ducati looks sublime. Merry Christmas to you and Mrs TMF, and thank you for your great channel ! 😀🎄🎅
Like you often say, there's no such thing as a bad bike. I think to find an ideal bike you HAVE to see it in the flesh and definitely ride it. I've loved some bikes that I found disappointing to ride and hated some bikes until I've seen them up close. But you never know if a bike is for you until you ride it. Back in 96 I bought a brand new suzuki bandit 600 without riding it and ended up regretting that decision for the next 5 years! Have a great Xmas and let's cross our fingers for a happy new year!
Hmmmm triumph, you own, royal Enfield, you own, ducati, you own, Honda u owned up to couple o months ago... GS ect ect... Not criticizing u or yr channel. It's just simply fabulous. Luv it. Really do. Noticed a couple o comments saying yr starting to Talk to quickly. Probably a tough for any one who's not a native Brit. Have a great Christmas n take care all of u. Keep up the fabulous work ☺
Thanks for another great year of riding and reviews TMF!!! Working on a new gold wing myself for May/June. Just waiting on the full hard bagger version of the BMW R18 to come out. Narrowed down to three bikes for me Gold Wing, Indian Challenger or BMW R18 Hard bagger. Have a great holiday weekend and all the best for 2021 👍👍👍 from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for this and all the other great videos this year 🙂🙏. I will go straight into my garage and tell my Panigale V2 that it is in the top five 😁💪. Merry Christmas to all of you 🍀🎄🙂.
Before watching I guessed Goldwing you absolutely gushed over that bike during your reviews. No argument here it would have been my choice too out of all the bikes you reviewed this year. Merry Christmas 🎄.
You're going to have to make space for Mrs Flyer in the garage soon. Looking forward to your review of the new Triumph Trident when they are released, best review channel IMO. Thanks for keeping us entertained & informed in an otherwise pants 2020. Merry Christmas to you & Mrs Flyer Andy :-)
Love your videos TMF. I love my Triumph Tiger - rode it down to Wagga Wagga (half way between Sydney and Melbourne) in atrocious conditions and it performed magnificently - even better I. Good conditions on the way back. Merry Christmas to you and stay safe.
Love the videos from your garage Andy, I have to say I've never seen beautifully rolled up towels in their specially designed place before in a garage ! Happy Christmas to you and Mrs Flyer and thanks for all the vids in a strange 2020.
See I'm wondering if this is why there's been space made in the garage, and TMF is going to ban Mrs TMF from going in there until the 25th December. I guess we will find out soon !
That Ducati Street Fighter is gorgeous but I'm still smitten with the MT10 and at under 10K it was the best bargain new bike I've ever bought. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas, good to see you've stocked up on beers. Cheers
Merry Christmas Mr and Mrs TMF and subscribers. Thanks TMF for all the time and effort you take to publish these excellent videos. BTW what drinks are featured on the vice shelf of the Missenden McStaggers bar ?
Mery Christmas my friend. Looking forward to all your vlogs in 2021. Your channel keeps me going. Thankyou and all the best for you and your family. Happy holidays
Own a GS.... agree they are fantastic. Best friend recently bought a Goldwing.... you're right... can't judge them until you ride them. (Still prefer the GS personally). I reckon that blue Goldwing will be coming back permanently. Merry Christmas and thanks for all the excellent content this year (under difficult circumstances)
Hi Andy thank you for all your hard work and for making this year a bit more bearable . Happy Christmas mate to you and yours, heres hoping next years better.
Ok. So I’m 15 seconds into this top 5 list, I forgave your list 3 years ago since you hadn’t experienced the Goldwing yet. Now I’m waiting to see if this list is “correct”. Time to grab the popcorn! 🍿 EDIT: You did well.
TMF, is in my opinion, an extremely good source of information when it comes to motor bike reviewing. It is all waffling but some how manages to keep you glued all the way though.if you want a really good independent review on a motor bike that you are interested in buying, then check out TMF for sure. He is bang on the money....
@@TheMissendenFlyer been watching your videos for quite some time. You answer all the questions and more. plus, you are genuine. What more would the consumer need... Keep up the good work bud...
Ha! That Gold Wing photo was taken half way up the hill from Aberglaslyn on the way to Llanberis pass, in North Wales - what a beautiful place to ride.
TMF had too much coffee before shooting this vid? You speak faster than the Ducati at full beans :) Thank you for your vids... Somehow you managed to build a channel all by yourself and bring content we all enjoy. Merry Christmas 🌲☃️
Another great video. You're a brave man, Mr. Fly. Nothing creates arguments like picking the "best" of anything. Still, well done, and nobody can argue with the beauty of Italian design. The motorbike press over here also love the KTMs and Ducatis for a one day/week/month test. For those of us who have to by with our own money and then live with the bikes for years or decades, Japanese bikes are more attractive. (I did cave and buy a R1200GS and am crossing my fingers the CANBUS can of electronic farkles doesn't strand me 100 miles from help.)
I own a 2018 honda Goldwing and I agree with you it is an excellent touring bike. However, it can be difficult in tight high speed turns. For me it is a lot of work in area of miles of turns like you find in Arkansas. All the best in 2021...
Merry CHristmas Andy ..I knew where that list was going , It did seem to be love at first Welsh turn with the GW and you two ...I think for my back yard the Tiger family may be my upgrade in the near future . There is so much to love about my simple Street Scrambler 900 though.. I may have to just give it to my oldest and bite the bullet on buying a new bike outright ... Happy New Year , Guy
Avid follower on your RUclips. Suggestion for future topic. Give us an update on the different camera, mounts, gimbal, mike, computer & software tech that you are now using. Give your viewers an insight on just how much time and effort it takes to achieve what you present us with. Just a thought - keep up the great work - we really appreciate it.

850 Tiger for me out if those 5. I love 3 cylinder engines. You didn’t ride the best one though...maybe next year? Have a great Christmas and New Year Andy. Thanks for your content in 2020, it’s kept us entertained in difficult times and stay safe in 2021! Cheers bud!
Great video, but some pricey machines there. How about a top ten under ten grand bikes? Now there's a video challenge for you....the MT, the monster....and of course the Enfield could feature again. There's been some belt tightening for those furloughed and I'm sure we'd all appreciate a TMF run down of those.
Thanks to Mr & Mrs Flyer for the entertainment this year on a wide range of motorcycles. It will be interesting when the industry publishes its sales figures for 2020, both to see the numbers as compared to last year and the best sellers although I think we all know what is No.1. 🇬🇧🏍
Interesting isn't it how different peoples experiences of bikes differ...glad we had some overlap though, those bikes in the chopsie/TMF overlap (imagine a Venn diagram if you will) must be darn brilliant appealing to a wide demographic from crusty old geezers to athletic god-like riders alike (I'll leave it to you to decide which one of us is which).....
@@TheMissendenFlyer yes absolutely! Also goes to show a good bike can shine through even if people want different things from it. Must say hoping to try a Gold wing next year and seeing what all the fuss is about. Well providing it can fit in my garage!
Interesting choice of the Goldwing as your number 1. As you say though, it's about how the bike makes you feel, and I guess you've discovered that you like 2-up touring, and it's probably the best bike for it. Enjoyed hearing your views as always tho!
Happy Xmas Mr and Mrs Flyer / cadets.il keep my fingers crossed you get a Goldwing it would be brilliant for the channel.Tks for a great years entertainment 👍
All excellent bikes. A few surprises: 2 Ducatis and the Gold Wing. The Gold Wing doesn't get much attention, but for North American transcontinental trips it cannot be beat. The Royal Enfield 650 in the white and red colour scheme like yours is to my taste; although, I need to take a look at that new Triumph Trident. Not terribly exciting, but nonetheless they both appeal to me, and they are both well within my budget. Cheers!
Looking forward to seeing what you have had done to the enfield. Hopefully will be a 650 Himalayan next year. Need to think of bikes as viable transport again. If just toys we will get legislated off the roads
Great channel. Around our Christmas dinner table we can't talk religion, politics, or best motorcycles. Thankfully we can all agree on TMF. All the best from the USA.
@@TheMissendenFlyer and for the colors; 1. 1250 GSA HP with black spoked wheels 2. Ducati streetfighter v4s red. BMW Nine T pollux metallic/aluminium 4. Ktm 890 r rally color 5. ROCKET 3 GT silver ice storm Grey
When you building the garage extension for the Goldwing? Happy Christmas to you and your family thanks for all the vids this year have kept me entertained through this pandemic 🍾🍾
Happy Christmas TMF, many thanks for the videos. Just traded in my street triple for a tenere 700, just need the restrictions here in Wales to be lifted a bit so i can get some miles in.
Nice top 10, looks like you have Christmas organised with plenty of alcohol in the background lol, excellent videos over the last year, Merry Christmas
Nice little vid. As you say, great time for biking as there's so much variety & great quality machines available. So much so, I think a multi bike garage is definitely the way forward. Only issue I have is no money or a garage but other than that it's going really well so far lol.
@@TheMissendenFlyer I can but try. Personally a 3 bike stable would the way to go & I would currently go for 2021 Ducati Supersport S, Suzuki Katana & a 2021 Moto Guzzi V7 850. Cue the hate lol.
Five great bikes, although the Goldwing and the Triumph would be the only ones I'd want to own. Here's my top five I'd like to see you review next year...2021 Yamaha Tracer 900GT, The new 850cc Moto Guzzi V7. The Indian chief Dark horse, 2021 model Kawasaki Versy 1000... And finally (because I own one) the newer model Triumph Street Scrambler (To compare it with the review you did a few years back of the original model). Have a merry Christmas and I look forward to seeing which 125 you've wrapped up for Mrs Flyer beneath the tree.
Great video. My two bikes 2017 Ducati Panigale 1299S Incredible bike and my New 2021 Ducati Street Fighter V4S . Both have complete Akra race exhaust with MAP upgrade. only 800 miles on the S.F. , have not taken it too the limits ,, SOON. YES very comfortable over the 1299..
Good choices, looking forward to the Streetfighter video. I bought a base layer, which is excellent. Just waiting for the ‘driving the ladies mad’ bit......something else to look forward to 😉
Be careful what you wish for Andrew, I've been mobbed by high class totty, yummy mummies and the like in Waitrose wearing mine - you have been warned!!
Merry Christmas and all the best for 2021, really enjoyed the channel this year. No Street Triple rs on the list🤔 don’t know if I’m going to continue watching in 2021 now. 😂😂
I kept my Honda 4 cylinder Gold Wing for 31 years. Magical enjoyment to all over this Holiday.

Merry Xmas Andy! My top 5 is still my own bike 5 times, and that's a great feeling :)
Nice one Rutger - that's the way it should be - you chose right!
Top 5 Budget Bikes (subjective): Benelli TRK 502, Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, Benelli Leoncino, KTM Adventure 390, Royal Enfield Himalayan
Just bought a new 2020 CBR 650R I think it could make the list of practical everyday sports bike smooth and well mannered yet still capable. Great bike for newish riders. Looking forward to more of your videos in the new year .

Thanks to Mr & Mrs Flyer for the entertainment this year on a wide range of motorcycles. It will be interesting when the industry publishes its sales figures for 2020, both to see the numbers as compared to last year and the best sellers although I think we all know what is No.1. 🇬🇧🏍
Cheers Stewy - Merry Christmas!
Nice list Andy! Some crossover there with mine 👍
Interesting isn't it how different peoples experiences of bikes differ...glad we had some overlap though, those bikes in the chopsie/TMF overlap (imagine a Venn diagram if you will) must be darn brilliant appealing to a wide demographic from crusty old geezers to athletic god-like riders alike (I'll leave it to you to decide which one of us is which).....
@@TheMissendenFlyer yes absolutely! Also goes to show a good bike can shine through even if people want different things from it. Must say hoping to try a Gold wing next year and seeing what all the fuss is about. Well providing it can fit in my garage!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family. Look forward to more videos in 2021. Stay safe and take care.
Cheers Simon - Merry Christmas
I would have been disappointed if the GL wasn't on the list! Glad to see it at the No.1 spot! Happy holidays to you and yours!
Same to you!
Love the fashion tips at the end TMF 😂, nice work this year 👍 merry Christmas to you and yours
Thanks! You too!
Interesting choice of the Goldwing as your number 1. As you say though, it's about how the bike makes you feel, and I guess you've discovered that you like 2-up touring, and it's probably the best bike for it. Enjoyed hearing your views as always tho!
Yeah that's exactly it - I'm certainly not saying it's everyone's cup of tea for sure, this is just my dream list.....
Thanks for all your hard work, Merry Christmas Andy 🎅👍🏼
My pleasure Chris, Merry Christmas
Happy Xmas Mr and Mrs Flyer / cadets.il keep my fingers crossed you get a Goldwing it would be brilliant for the channel.Tks for a great years entertainment 👍
Merry Xmas to both of you and thanx for all your hard work - tis much appreciated
My pleasure!
Thank you for all the videos throughout the year.Happy Xmas to you and the family.Cheers.
Thank you for all your support this year Bruce - appreciate you watching - Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas 🎄 and a Happy New Year 🎊 to you ! My top 5 are out in the garage right now ! That is until something new comes along to tempt me 🏍🤪👍.
I know how you feel! Merry Christmas!
I think no one excepted the gold wing lol
Great top 5 Andy, have a great Christmas to you and the family.
You too - Merry Christmas!
My dad was smitten with the TMF mug that he got for Christmas. Cheers.
Excellent news George - send my regards to your dad (PS you can only use the mugs for tea, should have said)....
All excellent bikes. A few surprises: 2 Ducatis and the Gold Wing. The Gold Wing doesn't get much attention, but for North American transcontinental trips it cannot be beat.
The Royal Enfield 650 in the white and red colour scheme like yours is to my taste; although, I need to take a look at that new Triumph Trident. Not terribly exciting, but nonetheless they both appeal to me, and they are both well within my budget. Cheers!
Looking forward to seeing what you have had done to the enfield. Hopefully will be a 650 Himalayan next year. Need to think of bikes as viable transport again. If just toys we will get legislated off the roads
Great channel. Around our Christmas dinner table we can't talk religion, politics, or best motorcycles. Thankfully we can all agree on TMF. All the best from the USA.
What a nice thing to say - cheers Gene and "Happy Holidays" as you colonials say.....
My top 5, number 1. 1250 GSA 2. Ducati Streetfighter v4s 3. BMW Nine T 4. KTM 890 Rally R 5. TRIUMPH Rocket 3 GT.
Hmm, I'm in semi agreement with you!
@@TheMissendenFlyer and for the colors; 1. 1250 GSA HP with black spoked wheels 2. Ducati streetfighter v4s red. BMW Nine T pollux metallic/aluminium 4. Ktm 890 r rally color 5. ROCKET 3 GT silver ice storm Grey
Another enjoyable video, have a wonderful Christmas.
Same to you
Hi Andy Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you and mrs. flyer. Look forward to your new Stuff next year. All the best
Same to you Paul - thanks for watching!
Thanks for the videos Andy, Have a nice Christmas youve got plenty of beer in , Cheers
Making a start on it as we speak! Merry Christmas and thanks for watching!
Had a feeling that honda holding was number one!! thanks for all the content for past year merry christmas to you and your family
Cheers Paul and to you....
Picking up my Tiger 900 in new year, can't wait 😃
Have a great Christmas bud
Congratulations and Merry Christmas
When you building the garage extension for the Goldwing?
Happy Christmas to you and your family thanks for all the vids this year have kept me entertained through this pandemic 🍾🍾
My pleasure Wayne - thanks for watching and Merry Christmas!
Happy Christmas TMF, many thanks for the videos. Just traded in my street triple for a tenere 700, just need the restrictions here in Wales to be lifted a bit so i can get some miles in.
Nice one Ian - lucky man having Wales on your doorstep to play in!
Nice top 10, looks like you have Christmas organised with plenty of alcohol in the background lol, excellent videos over the last year, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you too Ian....cheers!
ASAP if you can==a review of the Aprilia 660 would be wonderful. Wishing you all the best!!!
Will see what I can do Bill!
I can feel a long tour on a Goldwing coming in 2021 :) Merry Christmas TMF
I do hope that’s the case - I have plans....but then I had plans for 2020!
@@TheMissendenFlyer oh didnt we all ! Ah well lets all hope and dream :)
Nice little vid. As you say, great time for biking as there's so much variety & great quality machines available. So much so, I think a multi bike garage is definitely the way forward. Only issue I have is no money or a garage but other than that it's going really well so far lol.
Love it RR - you've got the right approach, keep at it!
@@TheMissendenFlyer I can but try. Personally a 3 bike stable would the way to go & I would currently go for 2021 Ducati Supersport S, Suzuki Katana & a 2021 Moto Guzzi V7 850. Cue the hate lol.
The BMW should be in the TOP5 :) love this bike as much as you pal! Amazing! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!
Same to you!
Thanks tmf great vids all year with chops brilliant..
Glad you like them!
@@TheMissendenFlyer and puttin up with the leg pulls
Five great bikes, although the Goldwing and the Triumph would be the only ones I'd want to own. Here's my top five I'd like to see you review next year...2021 Yamaha Tracer 900GT, The new 850cc Moto Guzzi V7. The Indian chief Dark horse, 2021 model Kawasaki Versy 1000... And finally (because I own one) the newer model Triumph Street Scrambler (To compare it with the review you did a few years back of the original model). Have a merry Christmas and I look forward to seeing which 125 you've wrapped up for Mrs Flyer beneath the tree.
Cheers Gareth - Merry Christmas to you too - thanks for watching this year!
Merry Christmas and a healthy new year
Nice top 5 list Merry Christmas and happy new year.
Thanks! You too!
Great video. My two bikes 2017 Ducati Panigale 1299S Incredible bike and my New 2021 Ducati Street Fighter V4S . Both have complete Akra race exhaust with MAP upgrade. only 800 miles on the S.F. , have not taken it too the limits ,, SOON. YES very comfortable over the 1299..
Nice choices Glenn!
Good choices, looking forward to the Streetfighter video.
I bought a base layer, which is excellent. Just waiting for the ‘driving the ladies mad’ bit......something else to look forward to 😉
Be careful what you wish for Andrew, I've been mobbed by high class totty, yummy mummies and the like in Waitrose wearing mine - you have been warned!!
Merry Christmas and all the best for 2021, really enjoyed the channel this year. No Street Triple rs on the list🤔 don’t know if I’m going to continue watching in 2021 now. 😂😂
Check my website for the new revised top 30 - sure it’s in there somewhere....
Ok I’ll keep watching then 😂🎅
