  • The Smoking Tire heads to Palos Verdes, CA to try out BMW's newest entry into the Streetfiighter motorcycle market. A streetfighter bike needs to be able to to everything at once, does the F800R hold up?

    @EatmyDust1311 I thought our audio sounded pretty good considering i wired it up inside my helmet. And we film for TST whenever both Tom and I have time, which isn't very often now that I'm doing TCS and we've been doing a lot of re-shoots for that. We've got a few new videos coming up.

    500 miles of riding in 2 days, 4 weeks after surgery?! You are a real rider.

    I love listening to your reviews. You have a great down-to-earth attitude and have great skills in summarizing the most notable points of every vehicle you touch. And then you make it really entertaining to watch! Big props to you & your crew! :D

    More bikes for sure. Many of us love both four wheels and two, so all the better if both are reviewed.

  • @MadProfessor153
    @MadProfessor153 12 лет назад

    Another vote for continuing the motorcycle reviews. I enjoyed this and would continue to enjoy watching you ride and review many more bikes. You are great at what you do, Matt.

    @JakeManD 13 лет назад +2

    I just want to say that this is one of the best bike reviews I've ever seen. I love you guys and I love cars and I love bikes. I think you guys should definitely do bike reviews but still keep up with the car reviews too.

  • @TheSmokingTire
    @TheSmokingTire  13 лет назад

    @wordlyfe As an example, the day after I got my bike license I went out and bought a bike, a Suzuki SV650. Everyone said it was a great beginner bike, and they were right. It had plenty of power, but it came on easy so I never felt overwhelmed. But don't let the numbers fool you, that 650 made more power than this 800 does. It was also 50 lbs lighter and felt quite a bit quicker. It also has to do with whether or not the rider fears the bike. If not, he's dead.

  • @Conan435
    @Conan435 11 лет назад

    very good review. Keep up the reviews on bikes.

  • @TheSmokingTire
    @TheSmokingTire  13 лет назад

    @boarderboi7 I've heard several parallel twin bikes, they sound OK from a flyby at high RPM, but when riding the bike they don't sound very good at all. V Twins sound much more aggressive and make their torque lower than the parallels.

  • @YarekBalear
    @YarekBalear 12 лет назад

    First time I've seen a review from you guys, primarily because I'm only interested in bike reviews right now and I have to say this is one of the better bike reviews I've seen - definitely do more please :)

    Looked for an old review as I'm looking at a 2010 model of the F800R and found this one, glad I did. I thought I wanted a cruiser but looking at this bike it's snapped me back across and now I feel like I want an F800R lol.

  • @SvdT

  • @peterrick3339
    @peterrick3339 8 лет назад +3

    I have a 800GT (near same as the R) and i find this review pretty much reflects what the bike(s) are about. Great bike to ride so long as you don't get above 5000 rpm to often for too long due to the vibes. Above 5000 rpm it goes fast and takes you by surprise. The engine seemingly self destructing adds to the sense of fast. Fuel economy is excellent. 4 litres/100km riding in the hills and slightly less when cruising at 100km/h +. Impressive torque makes for lazy riding. The more i ride the bike the more i like it. The bike has character and the vibes are part of the character.
    Based on this bike review, do more please.

  • @TheSmokingTire
    @TheSmokingTire  13 лет назад

    @c0nv1ct1337 we feel kind of the same way, but maybe if we do more bikes in the future the bike itself just has to be sort of a sub-plot where we're going to do something else?

  • @geppegep

    @MX5GS 12 лет назад

    More bike reviews, PLEASE! This is probably the first professionally-done review video that highlights, without bias, both the strong and weak points of a motorcycle. I also like the fact that you evaluated on a variety of roads, not just a racetrack or a flat stretch of highway. Awesome video, really like the bike (was considering it) but your comments on highway vibration have made me wonder........

    @weed46 I was in much better shape last year, but since I got hurt in April, I haven't been able to go to the gym at all and put on a few. I'm starting physical therapy now and quitting smoking weed for a while so I can get back to about 220, which is where I should be.

    @TheSmokingTire  13 лет назад

    @gwalia4 Everyone starts somewhere. And I'm very limited physically by the kind of bikes I can ride anyway. Not only am I rather large, I've had spinal surgery twice. So any japanese/italian crotch rockets are totally out, because I can't ride them without being in excruciating pain after 5 minutes. So any bikes we test will have to have a more or less upright riding position.

    Hi Matt I really enjoyed this review! I am a car enthusiast, but I have been thinking about buying a bike for a while now. I am looking at getting one which would be a great first bike for a novice rider, the BMW F800R is on my list, as well as the Honda CB500F and a Ducati Monster 821. Please let me know if you have any comments on any of these or if there are other bike's you would recommend. I do a lot of track days in cars but have zero experience on bikes. I am looking to enjoy the hobby not to go really fast or scare myself as I know it's a completely different discipline and there's going to be a learning curve. By the way I love your car reviews as well, Cheers, Ed.
