@CycleCruza I don't understand why you don't just have a slew of bikes. If I had your financial freedom, I'd be sort of like Jay Leno! I'd have: 1. Super-moto 2. Dual Sport or Adventure bike 3. Hyper or Superbike 4. Cruiser 5. Touring bike (Probably a Goldwing) A bike for every occasion.
I’ve been watching your channel since 2013 when I got my first street bike (2007 sv650) . I just want you to know I appreciate your time, dude! And I love that you preach about the gear 24/7💙 my gear saved my life ripping wheelies at like 60-70mph in 2016.
Thanks brother, I appreciate it! Glad to hear you wear gear and it helped save you. I just try to help keep my fellow riders informed. I also learn a lot from you all too and appreciate you all. Stay safe!
Your commentary on sport bikes is spot on. It is a thrill to accelerate to triple digit speeds but it's also a great way to get in big trouble fast. My next bike will probably be a KLX 300 dual sport. You can get 65 mpg commuting and hit all the dirt roads and trails you want!
And now they finally make a machine that is both a proper sport bike and a proper dual sport offroad! 2 bikes in 1 with my KTM 790 Adventure also hear this is true with the new Aprilia 660 adventure bike
@@supermalevitality8532 Absolutely man! My friend lent me his KLR 650 for a while. Despite being a beat up piece of crap I had more fun on that than my ninja 650 and GSXR 750
ADV bikes have to be experienced nothing like going off-road then on road all at the same time while seeing the country on a long tour. Seeing the country on a motorcycle is the bomb on an ADV it’s another level.
i have the 701 Husqvarna and i have seen your video on them but man ive done 6k miles on the bike over 1 year and its the best. my absolute dream bike, it did like 130 stock, so i geared mine down to a 48 tooth from a 42 and man with a exhaust and a fuel map because im 230lbs but its amazing best of both worlds, now it only does 110mph but it now has like 77hp 60ft-lbs 330lbs wet. best supermoto on the market IMO, if you can find one you should try it!! i have like 10 friends who are diehard sumo guys for the last 5-10 years that are now are wanting to get a 701! cuz they tried mine. love your vids man keep it up!!
Those look great, thinking it might be my 3rd bike eventually. I want to get a dr650 first. I have heard the ktm 690/husky 701 have had some issues, some being engine issues😲. The quickshift and autoblip look awesome. How has your ownership experience been? Is aftermarket good now, especially with bigger tanks? Im more an offroad kinda guy.
Nice bike! The 690.701 sumo are cool bikes. Supermoto life is the best. Most fun I ever had on a motorcycle and it never gets old. Thanks for sharing and stay safe!
The second hand market here is insane. 10 year old bikes with a asking price of 60-70% a brand new bike My car is 5 years with very low mileage and have lost 50% already
That's why I don't buy cars anymore, they are costly, not user friendly, don't last long, I was thinking of asking $5000 for my vfr800 with 40k, fully maintained
The 3 most important factors in a first motorcycle are price (you will drop it), reliability (you want to ride consistently), and finally comfort. If the bike isn't comfortable to you, you won't spend enough time on it to learn how to ride well.
Good video as usual. I'm a mid pegs guy too for the same reason, I don't feel actively in control with forward pegs. I feel off balance with feet forward on a bike. For your barn build, spend the money and put a cement slab in. I have a three bay pole barn here which is awesome but it was dirt floor when I got here. Putting in a slab keeps everything dry, gives you a good work surface and makes it easy to clean out. Give yourself a nice huge main door on it too, you are into bikes and toys now but to be able to pull a big tractor or truck in and maybe a lift later is a big value. Go big on ceiling height and door height too. Dirt or gravel in a barn lends to moisture and rust issues. Since putting the slab in mine, tools don't rust etc. much better.
Brother, I know for a fact that ANYTHING with wheels and power has the ability to be fun. I have driven almost everything on the planet. Trucks, 18-wheelers, cranes, loaders, bikes, ATVs, large tractors, dump trucks, boom trucks, street sweepers, Hydraulic Mowers. and even a spider digger. Look that one up, it is cool. Try everything! You only get of these lives.
I have owned a Honda Shadow, CBR 900rr, 2007 CBR 1000rr and now a 2008 CBR 1000rr and a 2012 Triumph Street Triple R. The triumph is by far the best all around bike because of seating position and power it has. I still own the 2008 CBR for those days I want to go into warp speed out in the country.
Hi cyclecruza, hello from Sydney Australia, been with you for long long time , now I have my license and have been riding duel sport Kawasaki klx450r- then 2016 Yamaha mto7- then Kawasaki Vulcan s 650- then 1999 wr426 supermoto custom still have them all , love the supermoto!!! Had it almost ten years now - 10 months in supermoto mode - cost me heaps to build... appreciate you maan!
jump onto a zx14. Nice relaxed riding position. Ungodly power. Usable just puttering around and no worries when the wind kicks up. Super comfortable seat and can use it for more than an hour at a time. As Kawasaki says.. it is a long distance superbike.
Currently I have a drz400sm with supermoto and dirt wheels, and a yahama fz07, I like then both but if I could only have one I’d take the drz because I can go on road or off road
I started on a Suzuki DRZ400S to ride trails in the woods. Then I bought a cruiser to ride the street, currently a Honda VTX1300C. It’s a good bike but it lacks suspension travel. So I went to an adventure bike, a Suzuki VSTROM 1000 with side and top cases. For the street, it’s my go-to bike. You don’t have to worry about potholes or heaved pavement. And the riding position is the same as my DRZ. Your ankles ride directly beneath your hips and your hands fall naturally on the handlebars. I did rent a Harley Davidson Street Glide on a recent trip to Arizona and that bike was very comfortable. I was surprised that I actually liked it very much. I could see buying that bike one day if I can afford it.
Still have my first bike, it's a klx 250 and I love it. Super easy to learn, bought it before I ever rode a motorcycle even once. I like riding on and off road, it's so much fun hitting trails and even jumps on a track. Very easy to play around on the roads too, very nimble and just fun. I do want more power, can't lie, but that's probably the story for everyone's first bike. It's still all stock, I'll probably put on some upgrades to get a little more before eventually moving on to something else with more power. That's my story, thanks for sharing yours with us too 🤘
The Ducati looked interesting. Always been a Harley guy and at my age now (50's) I'm no longer a kid full of piss & vinegar with a need for speed, so I'll take my big twin cruiser/barkalounger with forward controls any day of the week!
Ktm 790 duke are some of the best ergos/streetability with sport bike performance I have ever ridden. They have the 890 out now, same chassis but a little more power, I think that may be the perfect bike for the street. I’ve ridden all the way from north east on trips down to Atlanta and Tennessee with no comfort issues, or any issues at all. Highly recommend.
On our more technical tracks, supersports riders regularly get humiliated by scooter racers. In capable hands, they can easily keep up with bikes 2-3x the power and outcorner them without effort. ;)
My favorite is definitely DUALSPORT 💪🏼 and I have ridden and had many many types of bikes. To me, there's nothing better than being comfortable yet being able to go anywhere I want to go (especially off-road) #nolimits
I agree with scooter fun. It gets a bit boring when you're cruising on an empty road, but filtering through South East Asian traffic during rush hour on a scooter is as fun as a trackday :D
Have you ever ridden a hypermotard (Ducati) ? I will literally pay $50 to a charity of your choice if you can get your hands on one and sort of review it and give us an idea of how you’d characterize it and what it’s closest competitors are
Went from a sportster 1200 to a DRZ400SM and I have never been happier, it's a 2018 that had 2300 miles on the clock at purchase. With what I've read about the reliability, and what I've experienced riding it, I've found a bike that could easily be a forever bike. It can do everything and I'm sure it would look good with a few other bikes next to it, maybe a 450 race bike sumo conversion, or KTM/Husqy 700; one bike mainly for commute and hooligan fun, and one that's an overpowered wheelie machine that I would definitely take to a track. My (admittedly newer found) love for dirt racing, sumo and moto gp lead me to trade a great bike for a weekend ride for a bike that can literally anything. Most people seem so shocked that I traded a sportster for a Suzuki DRZ, but when they see how passionate I am about what the bike represents for me, they always seem to understand. Great video as always 👍
Nice! Street bikes are one dimensional, can get kinda lame after a while but supermoto or dual sports keep it exciting when you can ride everywhere and over stuff. The torque on a 450 race bike is the best feeling. It's fun doing a supermoto build, you should try doing one. Start a collection of different supermotos. That's what I'd like to do.
@@CycleCruza I’d love to do the same, and it’s wild how exciting this class of bikes can be, not to mention they actually want to lean lol. One of the first thing I plan on doing is swapping to some Dunlop mutants or similar mildly off-road tire, since it came with sport bike style tires. Also it’s my understanding that where I live registering a street legal conversion is relatively easy, so I definitely feel like that’ll be the next move. Thanks for the reply and the great content.
Thanks! You'll love the Diavel 1260 or XDiavel, both are great. To me, they are like a cruiser/superbike hybrid. It has the power you want but the comfort you desire.
was looking at a new bike but lately with the kid starting to drive I have been looking at a Vespa. He doesn’t like it but once the riding starts I think he will warm up. Everyone remembers the kid in high school with a scooter.
Cruiser riding position is pure torture to my lower back. I had to do my BRC on a cruiser and that was a very painful couple of days. No Harley for me. If you gave me one I wouldn't ride it.
I hurt my neck leaning forward and going over bumps. I put on a couple pairs of bar risers 3.5" rise and no more neck pain. I'm 5'6 on a sv650. Leaned over, looking up, your neck is in a bad position, add bumps to that.
@@dr.jiIIaIicecooper2587 The clutch and the throttle cable only allow a 1.25" rise. And to get longer cables you have to get them custom made. But that wouldn't stop me from riding. Just reroute your cables out the left side behind the forks.
@@dr.jiIIaIicecooper2587 I know that's exactly why I chose it, but being 5'6 I used to lean forward before 3.5" risers. So If you have a sport bike the neck position is even worse. Just stating the forward leaning position may/will damage your neck.
I love scooters. No shame in my game. I want to buy the Genuine Rattler 110 and a Piaggio Mp3 500. But I love about all classes of bikes, my list is long. My favorite style bike now is my Buell 1125cr. I'm not sure what class it is considered....street/sport/naked. I choose to hop on that bike now over my big heavy Vtx1800r which I love and is a beast but the Buell is just effortless to rip and ride. Cruisers I need are a Yamaha Vmax 1700, Triumph Rocket III.
@@johnengland8619 it's really hard to ride a scooter in Florida. I used to ride one all around Central Florida 20 years ago and I'm lucky I'm still alive because people down here in Florida get aggressive as soon as they see scooters. People would be passing me by inches to spare.
I took my DRZ400SM on a 1,200 mile round trip from Pennsylvania to Michigan and back, and the only thing that sucked really was the seat. I have a Corbin seat, which is waaaaay better than the stock dirtbike seat, but damn I was hurting. The saving grace was the ability to stand up on the pegs and stretch. The sumo gearing isn’t really meant for freeway speeds either, granted it’s a 5-speed. I’m thinking my next bike will be a MT07, as you pointed out they sit more upright but you get the super sport power. Since it’ll only be my second bike I can’t go to a MT09 or anything, but the 07 will give me some more power like I want
We need a 400cc twin ADV bike that is smooth on the freeway yet still useful off the blacktop. Upright seating position, weather protection and not too heavy. Gotta be reliable too. Hey China, are you listening?
I like my lite 09 suzuki gs500f. Not doing a pushup (sitting more upright) and can get up to highway speeds extremely fast. Bro is right. I started on a duel sport and liked it. Suzuki DR350se. Not a bad bike at all. Good bikes to learn basics on
When you get older riding a supersport gets very unpleasant, especially if its a modern one where you are doing a pushup the entire time. That and you are lower so a lot less visible. Combined with the insane power they have, supersports are by far the most common bike people have a fatal or life changing accident on. And yes, I had one, a car pulled out in front of me and boxed me in, he only "saw" me when I was hitting his passenger door and then I did a superman over his car.
The reason I'm having such a tough time buying another bike is because no other bike is as fun as a supermoto. When I'm on a sportbike or cruiser I'm also missing my supermoto. I should just add another supermoto!
Great advice and knowledge! Definitely want to start small and go bigger! Many will jump into big and of course hate it. Others might just deal with it. Bigger is not always better. My opinion. Hasta luego!
I lasted 2 yrs with my 2020 yamaha r6 but yesterday I took it back and got a triumph bobber . Sports motorcycle look good but they're too much pain in your lower back and knees
I brought my dream bike 2016 yamaha r1s. But i found the riding position was not good for my bad back. So i had to sell it. Now im looking for a more upright bike that i can just cruise around on. Looking at some 400cc bikes. Dont need a lot of speed. Prefer a sport. But might look at cruisers.
I’m not sure if there’s a difference in the peg position for the 21 MT-09 vs the 20. I know you can raise them like an inch but I actually find them perfect. I just stand straight up with no hands because your feet are in a great spot
Most importantly... the bike needs to fit the ergonomics and size of the rider. I'm 6'2", and there are a TON of bikes that I can't ride even after adjustments to the bike. If you're 4'5", I'd say most big bikes you should just avoid for the same reasons.
like you I have owned every type of bike including harleys and scooters and I find myself owning 3 bikes with essentially the same riding position, one is a BMW GS, one is a DRZ and one is a specialized rock hopper, and I ride the bicycle the most, might buy a ev bike when I get older but I'm only 72
Currently on my first bike, a Yamaha r3. I ultimately just really want a 600 supersport. But everybody says the same thing. Buy a naked bike or cruiser instead, they are more comfortable. Well I don't really want one of those. I didnt like the upright position on my r3. I lowered the clip ons and got rearsets and actually think it's more comfortable now. I'm riding the bike for fun anyways, if I wanted comfort I'd take the car. Are 600's really that bad? I can't be the only one that doesn't like the upright position?
Age has a lot to do with it... going through the sportbike faze is expected. I grew up on dirtbikes, found supersports when I was 18 and rode ss for the next 8yrs with no issues as far as being too uncomfortable or feeling like the bike is too much for the street. I am now in my mid 30s just got back in to riding after a few years of giving it up and have come to a few realizations. I only use 70-80% of what my current bike (600rr - I've had a few 1000s as well) is capable of maybe once a month for at most 30minutes at a time. There are no tracks near me so I feel it's wasted. After an hr I start getting uncomfortable compromising the control I feel is necessary at all times while riding on the street. I start sitting up letting go of the bars coming to stop lights, having to shift my weight constantly, having to straighten out my legs hanging them off the bike, having to stand up on my clipons to stretch out my back. Remember these bikes are designed to be on tracks and the professionals don't stay on them for much longer than 1hr at a time. And I absolutely hate having to take off and put on the plastics to service the thing. If you feel comfy on supersports, you are free to do what you will. No one should tell you what is right for you, but I've had this 600rr for a little over 2yrs and am putting it up for sale. I love the sound of the inline 4 so the next will probably be something comfier like a naked (cb1000 or gsx-s750 or 1000). Whatever your decision, be safe and try to keep both wheels down.
I had a 600. And after that an XSR 900. Similar hp, totally different delivery. Would never get another 600 for the street. All the power at the end of the rev range, tall af gearing (second was like 140kph). If you want a sport bike for the road, get something like a Ducati Supersport (it's called Supersport, but it isn't anything like a 600).
Yup first bike was an fzr600 pretty outdated for a super sport but still made roughly 90hp. I still have the fizzer but currently looking to get an fz8 fz07 or mt09. Also considering the z650 or gsx-s 750 regardless of which one I get it's definitely going to be a naked bike. The fzr be killing my back after longer rides lol
I owned an XDiavelS most fun I had in 50+ years of riding but it is NOT a cruiser-it’s a scary fast muscle bike. Try a Harley Davidson softail Lowrider for a proper cruiser.
I'm looking to get back into mc , used to have xv535 and loved it could ride it all day long, very comfy and easy to ride. I rode a gpz900r which was just silly fast and too easy to lose my licence . I'm thinking dual sport is gonna be more fun for me now, I ride emtb and LOVE going off road. Kinda holding out for an electric bike that's not stupid expensive but.....
I recently bought an Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 due to its amazingly cheap listing price, and its as perfect as you can get for a daily city rider / commuter. Its kind of an oversized supermoto but I've nothing but enjoyed it coming from previously riding street fighters
Mr cyclecruza I have a request please! Can you review the Indian scout bobby we have them here in Australia. Don’t know if you have them there. Thank you very much.
Florida law is, 3 times the speed limit = instant revoking of your M' endorsement and impounding the bike. That is why we run. I mean how thick can the police get? Folks ran from a $300 ticket. Now, even the most decent or law-abiding will absolutely run. I used to stop and take the lecture and 300-dollar ticket. Now... Drop a gear and disappear!
I like your style great content bruh I have a 13 r6 I just bought in Oct first streetbike ever 😆 u right goin from a yz250 to a r6 was insane but I love my Supersport its fast and sexy what's funny if u talk to a cruiser guy they hate on Supersport and they all think there harley is fast and mine is just a toy that could break any day but the track bikes r no joke a machine tailored to the track. And another thing why has every harley guy I've rode with told me I need to sell and get harley ???? Good stuff 💯😈🤘
Nothing beats the allure of a superbike, they are everything you think they are. fast, nimble, and insanely fun. You’ll have guys telling you their street fighters are fast but they just don’t compare…. We all see bikes going by everyday and think nothing of it, but notice when a superbike goes by you almost get child like and wonder what bike it is. Nothing beats a superbike.
I’m not too excited about the rider aids they have added on everything. I understand the manufacturers wanting to have their own versions of rider assist systems, but that should be an option instead of standard in my opinion.
I got my bike partially for those aids. Most of them can actually be turned off except for the ABS, but I use my bike as a daily commuter and do a lot of rain riding so I was looking for them.
I’m like you somewhat… I ride a Harley, and used to wave to everyone, until I got flipped off for waving to this guy on an rice rocket… that being said I’ll wave at all Harley’s but only wave to others if I’m waved to… no disrespect but you got assholes on both sides of the fence and I don’t like drama😎

I don't understand why you don't just have a slew of bikes. If I had your financial freedom, I'd be sort of like Jay Leno! I'd have:
1. Super-moto
2. Dual Sport or Adventure bike
3. Hyper or Superbike
4. Cruiser
5. Touring bike (Probably a Goldwing)
A bike for every occasion.

I’ve been watching your channel since 2013 when I got my first street bike (2007 sv650) . I just want you to know I appreciate your time, dude! And I love that you preach about the gear 24/7💙 my gear saved my life ripping wheelies at like 60-70mph in 2016.
Yes sir! I agree, it happened to me too
WEAR YOUR GEAR! It saved my life 🙏🏼
Thanks brother, I appreciate it! Glad to hear you wear gear and it helped save you. I just try to help keep my fellow riders informed. I also learn a lot from you all too and appreciate you all. Stay safe!
Your commentary on sport bikes is spot on. It is a thrill to accelerate to triple digit speeds but it's also a great way to get in big trouble fast. My next bike will probably be a KLX 300 dual sport. You can get 65 mpg commuting and hit all the dirt roads and trails you want!
And now they finally make a machine that is both a proper sport bike and a proper dual sport offroad! 2 bikes in 1 with my KTM 790 Adventure also hear this is true with the new Aprilia 660 adventure bike
Klx 300 is a great choice. I have a wr250r and it’s been a stupid amount of fun going anywhere I want. Dual sport life is the best
@@supermalevitality8532 Absolutely man! My friend lent me his KLR 650 for a while. Despite being a beat up piece of crap I had more fun on that than my ninja 650 and GSXR 750

ADV bikes have to be experienced nothing like going off-road then on road all at the same time while seeing the country on a long tour. Seeing the country on a motorcycle is the bomb on an ADV it’s another level.
Nice! Yeah I love dual sport riding, it is more fun when you head off-road.

i have the 701 Husqvarna and i have seen your video on them but man ive done 6k miles on the bike over 1 year and its the best. my absolute dream bike, it did like 130 stock, so i geared mine down to a 48 tooth from a 42 and man with a exhaust and a fuel map because im 230lbs but its amazing best of both worlds, now it only does 110mph but it now has like 77hp 60ft-lbs 330lbs wet. best supermoto on the market IMO, if you can find one you should try it!! i have like 10 friends who are diehard sumo guys for the last 5-10 years that are now are wanting to get a 701! cuz they tried mine. love your vids man keep it up!!
Those look great, thinking it might be my 3rd bike eventually. I want to get a dr650 first. I have heard the ktm 690/husky 701 have had some issues, some being engine issues😲. The quickshift and autoblip look awesome. How has your ownership experience been? Is aftermarket good now, especially with bigger tanks? Im more an offroad kinda guy.
Nice bike! The 690.701 sumo are cool bikes. Supermoto life is the best. Most fun I ever had on a motorcycle and it never gets old. Thanks for sharing and stay safe!
*NEW VIDEO:* Why a 450 SUPERMOTO is BEST:
ruclips.net/video/MG56EMSd_qQ/видео.html
The second hand market here is insane. 10 year old bikes with a asking price of 60-70% a brand new bike
My car is 5 years with very low mileage and have lost 50% already
That's why I don't buy cars anymore, they are costly, not user friendly, don't last long, I was thinking of asking $5000 for my vfr800 with 40k, fully maintained
The 3 most important factors in a first motorcycle are price (you will drop it), reliability (you want to ride consistently), and finally comfort. If the bike isn't comfortable to you, you won't spend enough time on it to learn how to ride well.
Riding 30 years. Scout bobber and Ducati Diavel for daily riders. Never dropped a bike
Good video as usual. I'm a mid pegs guy too for the same reason, I don't feel actively in control with forward pegs. I feel off balance with feet forward on a bike.
For your barn build, spend the money and put a cement slab in. I have a three bay pole barn here which is awesome but it was dirt floor when I got here.
Putting in a slab keeps everything dry, gives you a good work surface and makes it easy to clean out. Give yourself a nice huge main door on it too, you are into bikes and toys now but to be able to pull a big tractor or truck in and maybe a lift later is a big value. Go big on ceiling height and door height too.
Dirt or gravel in a barn lends to moisture and rust issues. Since putting the slab in mine, tools don't rust etc. much better.
Brother, I know for a fact that ANYTHING with wheels and power has the ability to be fun. I have driven almost everything on the planet. Trucks, 18-wheelers, cranes, loaders, bikes, ATVs, large tractors, dump trucks, boom trucks, street sweepers, Hydraulic Mowers. and even a spider digger. Look that one up, it is cool. Try everything! You only get of these lives.
I have owned a Honda Shadow, CBR 900rr, 2007 CBR 1000rr and now a 2008 CBR 1000rr and a 2012 Triumph Street Triple R. The triumph is by far the best all around bike because of seating position and power it has. I still own the 2008 CBR for those days I want to go into warp speed out in the country.
Hi cyclecruza, hello from Sydney Australia, been with you for long long time , now I have my license and have been riding duel sport Kawasaki klx450r- then 2016 Yamaha mto7- then Kawasaki Vulcan s 650- then 1999 wr426 supermoto custom still have them all , love the supermoto!!! Had it almost ten years now - 10 months in supermoto mode - cost me heaps to build... appreciate you maan!
jump onto a zx14. Nice relaxed riding position. Ungodly power. Usable just puttering around and no worries when the wind kicks up. Super comfortable seat and can use it for more than an hour at a time. As Kawasaki says.. it is a long distance superbike.
I bought a 07 cbr600rr after watching your video on it .
Currently I have a drz400sm with supermoto and dirt wheels, and a yahama fz07, I like then both but if I could only have one I’d take the drz because I can go on road or off road
I started on a Suzuki DRZ400S to ride trails in the woods. Then I bought a cruiser to ride the street, currently a Honda VTX1300C. It’s a good bike but it lacks suspension travel. So I went to an adventure bike, a Suzuki VSTROM 1000 with side and top cases. For the street, it’s my go-to bike. You don’t have to worry about potholes or heaved pavement. And the riding position is the same as my DRZ. Your ankles ride directly beneath your hips and your hands fall naturally on the handlebars. I did rent a Harley Davidson Street Glide on a recent trip to Arizona and that bike was very comfortable. I was surprised that I actually liked it very much. I could see buying that bike one day if I can afford it.
Still have my first bike, it's a klx 250 and I love it. Super easy to learn, bought it before I ever rode a motorcycle even once. I like riding on and off road, it's so much fun hitting trails and even jumps on a track. Very easy to play around on the roads too, very nimble and just fun. I do want more power, can't lie, but that's probably the story for everyone's first bike. It's still all stock, I'll probably put on some upgrades to get a little more before eventually moving on to something else with more power.
That's my story, thanks for sharing yours with us too 🤘
Neat
The Ducati looked interesting. Always been a Harley guy and at my age now (50's) I'm no longer a kid full of piss & vinegar with a need for speed, so I'll take my big twin cruiser/barkalounger with forward controls any day of the week!
It all comes down to what you prefer. I'm glad you have a motorcycle you love. Just keep riding and stay safe!
I went from a 600 gsx-r, to a v-star 650, to a duke 390 lol....
ha similar here....r6 to a 390 to a 300sm
I own a Z 900 and a 390 Duke. Both are comfy, but I wish my 390 was an 890 😂😂
That ducati street fighter looks so good
I think so too. Ducati makes some beautiful bikes.
"almost had a real f'd up day there"😂 love this guy
Ktm 790 duke are some of the best ergos/streetability with sport bike performance I have ever ridden. They have the 890 out now, same chassis but a little more power, I think that may be the perfect bike for the street. I’ve ridden all the way from north east on trips down to Atlanta and Tennessee with no comfort issues, or any issues at all. Highly recommend.
Yeah idk, my MT09 is wayyyyyyy more comfy to ride than my WR250R supermoto. I love supermotos but I'm not taking one on a really long ride.
You get more leg room with the supermoto/dual sport. For me, my supermoto is more comfy that that 2020 MT-09 I owned.
On our more technical tracks, supersports riders regularly get humiliated by scooter racers. In capable hands, they can easily keep up with bikes 2-3x the power and outcorner them without effort. ;)
Yeah scooters are so easy to ride and fun. MPG is a lot better on scooters too.
My favorite is definitely DUALSPORT 💪🏼 and I have ridden and had many many types of bikes. To me, there's nothing better than being comfortable yet being able to go anywhere I want to go (especially off-road) #nolimits
I like the mini motos , pit bikes and super motos . I just bought a Z 125 pro and a SSR 125 automatic pit bike.
If cyclecruza ever signs up for a track day he’ll fall in love with sport bikes all over again guaranteed
I agree with scooter fun. It gets a bit boring when you're cruising on an empty road, but filtering through South East Asian traffic during rush hour on a scooter is as fun as a trackday :D
Have you ever ridden a hypermotard (Ducati) ? I will literally pay $50 to a charity of your choice if you can get your hands on one and sort of review it and give us an idea of how you’d characterize it and what it’s closest competitors are
50 whole dollars huh? Wow!
@@gordongoodman8342 how much do you offer when you request a man to test ride a bike for a channel he profits from??? Ohhh zero that’s right.
Went from a sportster 1200 to a DRZ400SM and I have never been happier, it's a 2018 that had 2300 miles on the clock at purchase. With what I've read about the reliability, and what I've experienced riding it, I've found a bike that could easily be a forever bike. It can do everything and I'm sure it would look good with a few other bikes next to it, maybe a 450 race bike sumo conversion, or KTM/Husqy 700; one bike mainly for commute and hooligan fun, and one that's an overpowered wheelie machine that I would definitely take to a track. My (admittedly newer found) love for dirt racing, sumo and moto gp lead me to trade a great bike for a weekend ride for a bike that can literally anything. Most people seem so shocked that I traded a sportster for a Suzuki DRZ, but when they see how passionate I am about what the bike represents for me, they always seem to understand. Great video as always 👍
Nice! Street bikes are one dimensional, can get kinda lame after a while but supermoto or dual sports keep it exciting when you can ride everywhere and over stuff. The torque on a 450 race bike is the best feeling. It's fun doing a supermoto build, you should try doing one. Start a collection of different supermotos. That's what I'd like to do.
@@CycleCruza I’d love to do the same, and it’s wild how exciting this class of bikes can be, not to mention they actually want to lean lol. One of the first thing I plan on doing is swapping to some Dunlop mutants or similar mildly off-road tire, since it came with sport bike style tires. Also it’s my understanding that where I live registering a street legal conversion is relatively easy, so I definitely feel like that’ll be the next move. Thanks for the reply and the great content.
Great video man! Love the choices you suggest-the Diabel is one I want to ride!
Thanks! You'll love the Diavel 1260 or XDiavel, both are great. To me, they are like a cruiser/superbike hybrid. It has the power you want but the comfort you desire.
was looking at a new bike but lately with the kid starting to drive I have been looking at a Vespa. He doesn’t like it but once the riding starts I think he will warm up. Everyone remembers the kid in high school with a scooter.
Cruiser riding position is pure torture to my lower back. I had to do my BRC on a cruiser and that was a very painful couple of days. No Harley for me. If you gave me one I wouldn't ride it.
I hurt my neck leaning forward and going over bumps. I put on a couple pairs of bar risers 3.5" rise and no more neck pain. I'm 5'6 on a sv650. Leaned over, looking up, your neck is in a bad position, add bumps to that.
@@dr.jiIIaIicecooper2587 2020
@@dr.jiIIaIicecooper2587 The clutch and the throttle cable only allow a 1.25" rise. And to get longer cables you have to get them custom made. But that wouldn't stop me from riding. Just reroute your cables out the left side behind the forks.
@@dr.jiIIaIicecooper2587 I know that's exactly why I chose it, but being 5'6 I used to lean forward before 3.5" risers. So If you have a sport bike the neck position is even worse. Just stating the forward leaning position may/will damage your neck.
I love scooters. No shame in my game. I want to buy the Genuine Rattler 110 and a Piaggio Mp3 500. But I love about all classes of bikes, my list is long.
My favorite style bike now is my Buell 1125cr. I'm not sure what class it is considered....street/sport/naked. I choose to hop on that bike now over my big heavy Vtx1800r which I love and is a beast but the Buell is just effortless to rip and ride.
Cruisers I need are a Yamaha Vmax 1700, Triumph Rocket III.
I ride a vfr800 and 150cc scooter and I don't care what people think
@@johnengland8619 it's really hard to ride a scooter in Florida. I used to ride one all around Central Florida 20 years ago and I'm lucky I'm still alive because people down here in Florida get aggressive as soon as they see scooters. People would be passing me by inches to spare.
I took my DRZ400SM on a 1,200 mile round trip from Pennsylvania to Michigan and back, and the only thing that sucked really was the seat. I have a Corbin seat, which is waaaaay better than the stock dirtbike seat, but damn I was hurting. The saving grace was the ability to stand up on the pegs and stretch. The sumo gearing isn’t really meant for freeway speeds either, granted it’s a 5-speed. I’m thinking my next bike will be a MT07, as you pointed out they sit more upright but you get the super sport power. Since it’ll only be my second bike I can’t go to a MT09 or anything, but the 07 will give me some more power like I want
Deadpool rides a scooter.😅
With gas prices being so high right now there are going to be a lot of people riding scooters like in Europe where gas prices are even higher.
Still like the dual sports and sumos the most, they do great in large abandon commercial buildings. lmao
Get a grom when you get sick of the power bigger engine swap plenty of options still not freeway or highway but a blast
We need a 400cc twin ADV bike that is smooth on the freeway yet still useful off the blacktop. Upright seating position, weather protection and not too heavy. Gotta be reliable too. Hey China, are you listening?
The lowend on my 2022 R1 is unparalleled compared to my old 2008 r1 and my first 2007 r1. It is actually super fun from light to light lol
Nothing handles like a sumo or DS 😎👍
I like my lite 09 suzuki gs500f. Not doing a pushup (sitting more upright) and can get up to highway speeds extremely fast. Bro is right. I started on a duel sport and liked it. Suzuki DR350se. Not a bad bike at all. Good bikes to learn basics on
started off on a dr350 too, never liked the sloped bench seat!
@@chickenfordinner2093 felt like I was always sliding into the gas tank. Thought maybe it was just me.
When you get older riding a supersport gets very unpleasant, especially if its a modern one where you are doing a pushup the entire time. That and you are lower so a lot less visible. Combined with the insane power they have, supersports are by far the most common bike people have a fatal or life changing accident on. And yes, I had one, a car pulled out in front of me and boxed me in, he only "saw" me when I was hitting his passenger door and then I did a superman over his car.
Very good comparison bro.. that is why I love my fe501 over all the street bikes I've owned before..
The reason I'm having such a tough time buying another bike is because no other bike is as fun as a supermoto. When I'm on a sportbike or cruiser I'm also missing my supermoto. I should just add another supermoto!
Just get another 450 and keep it with knobbys 🤙🏻

I have a 2018 ninja 400 got it back in 2018 and its a good bike but its kind of uncomfortable after not very long.
Great advice CycleCruza, I got to ride along my boys MT09 and my new friends RSV needless to say they launched 🚀🚀🚀👊
Great advice and knowledge! Definitely want to start small and go bigger! Many will jump into big and of course hate it. Others might just deal with it. Bigger is not always better. My opinion. Hasta luego!
I lasted 2 yrs with my 2020 yamaha r6 but yesterday I took it back and got a triumph bobber . Sports motorcycle look good but they're too much pain in your lower back and knees
I brought my dream bike 2016 yamaha r1s. But i found the riding position was not good for my bad back. So i had to sell it. Now im looking for a more upright bike that i can just cruise around on. Looking at some 400cc bikes. Dont need a lot of speed. Prefer a sport. But might look at cruisers.
Go test ride a Z 900. You will not be disappointed.......
@@christopherking9338 oh that looks clean. I'll have to check it out. Thanks
Klx300 starter bike here, and I love it. But I want a second bike now more for the road. Sport, supersport, or superbike?
Something like an MT-07
I’m not sure if there’s a difference in the peg position for the 21 MT-09 vs the 20. I know you can raise them like an inch but I actually find them perfect. I just stand straight up with no hands because your feet are in a great spot
1:30 is that green screen? 😂😂
Wtf
@@jimperry4420 doesn’t it look like it??
@@Fee.1 it is.
Most importantly... the bike needs to fit the ergonomics and size of the rider. I'm 6'2", and there are a TON of bikes that I can't ride even after adjustments to the bike. If you're 4'5", I'd say most big bikes you should just avoid for the same reasons.
Amen to that
Details baby, like ducktails, are always an adventure...yup.
like you I have owned every type of bike including harleys and scooters and I find myself owning 3 bikes with essentially the same riding position, one is a BMW GS, one is a DRZ and one is a specialized rock hopper, and I ride the bicycle the most, might buy a ev bike when I get older but I'm only 72
Thanks for another interesting and informative video C.C 👍🏻
Get yourself a ADV bike. Never thought I'd own one but I'm loading up my GSA 1250 for a massive trip right now.
Maybe one day but loving my supermoto right now.
I got a grom, super sport , and now a Harley, the Harley is slower and more expensive but I can cruise on it all day.
Great video CC, thank you. Can you elaborate about the naked bikes, adventure bikes, and other "sub-categories"?
If you are short you cant get an adventure or a dual sport. The seat heights are too tall.
Also cafe racers, small adv bikes CC. Maybe you can think in producing a video with your thinking about these. Have a nice sunday!.
@@--JohnDoe they make low seat height options now
Great video! Have you ridden a sports tourer like the Ninja 650? I'm thinking of getting one!
As far as scooters go have you considered like a maxi scooter you know once I get like 250cc and up,?
Currently on my first bike, a Yamaha r3. I ultimately just really want a 600 supersport. But everybody says the same thing. Buy a naked bike or cruiser instead, they are more comfortable. Well I don't really want one of those. I didnt like the upright position on my r3. I lowered the clip ons and got rearsets and actually think it's more comfortable now. I'm riding the bike for fun anyways, if I wanted comfort I'd take the car. Are 600's really that bad? I can't be the only one that doesn't like the upright position?
Age has a lot to do with it... going through the sportbike faze is expected. I grew up on dirtbikes, found supersports when I was 18 and rode ss for the next 8yrs with no issues as far as being too uncomfortable or feeling like the bike is too much for the street. I am now in my mid 30s just got back in to riding after a few years of giving it up and have come to a few realizations. I only use 70-80% of what my current bike (600rr - I've had a few 1000s as well) is capable of maybe once a month for at most 30minutes at a time. There are no tracks near me so I feel it's wasted. After an hr I start getting uncomfortable compromising the control I feel is necessary at all times while riding on the street. I start sitting up letting go of the bars coming to stop lights, having to shift my weight constantly, having to straighten out my legs hanging them off the bike, having to stand up on my clipons to stretch out my back. Remember these bikes are designed to be on tracks and the professionals don't stay on them for much longer than 1hr at a time. And I absolutely hate having to take off and put on the plastics to service the thing.
If you feel comfy on supersports, you are free to do what you will. No one should tell you what is right for you, but I've had this 600rr for a little over 2yrs and am putting it up for sale. I love the sound of the inline 4 so the next will probably be something comfier like a naked (cb1000 or gsx-s750 or 1000). Whatever your decision, be safe and try to keep both wheels down.
I had a 600. And after that an XSR 900. Similar hp, totally different delivery. Would never get another 600 for the street. All the power at the end of the rev range, tall af gearing (second was like 140kph). If you want a sport bike for the road, get something like a Ducati Supersport (it's called Supersport, but it isn't anything like a 600).
Yup first bike was an fzr600 pretty outdated for a super sport but still made roughly 90hp. I still have the fizzer but currently looking to get an fz8 fz07 or mt09. Also considering the z650 or gsx-s 750 regardless of which one I get it's definitely going to be a naked bike. The fzr be killing my back after longer rides lol
Thank you for this!
Where in Georgia? Would love to ride with you sometime. I’m in Newnan
I owned an XDiavelS most fun I had in 50+ years of riding but it is NOT a cruiser-it’s a scary fast muscle bike. Try a Harley Davidson softail Lowrider for a proper cruiser.
I'm looking to get back into mc , used to have xv535 and loved it could ride it all day long, very comfy and easy to ride.
I rode a gpz900r which was just silly fast and too easy to lose my licence .
I'm thinking dual sport is gonna be more fun for me now, I ride emtb and LOVE going off road.
Kinda holding out for an electric bike that's not stupid expensive but.....
Cool! I love the electric biked and motorcycles too. That electric torque is so fun.
Hey CC, as a 6ft3-4 man, slender, would your super Moto fit me? It’s a nightmare to find one that fits brother! I am interested in supermotos
Look at the Suzuki DRZ400s...It's a tall bike.
Dirt bikes work well for taller riders.
I recently bought an Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 due to its amazingly cheap listing price, and its as perfect as you can get for a daily city rider / commuter. Its kind of an oversized supermoto but I've nothing but enjoyed it coming from previously riding street fighters
Wheelies!
Mr cyclecruza I have a request please! Can you review the Indian scout bobby we have them here in Australia. Don’t know if you have them there. Thank you very much.
How's the yamaha r3 seating position I hear people say it's not too aggressive and it's comfortable
Florida law is, 3 times the speed limit = instant revoking of your M' endorsement and impounding the bike. That is why we run. I mean how thick can the police get? Folks ran from a $300 ticket. Now, even the most decent or law-abiding will absolutely run. I used to stop and take the lecture and 300-dollar ticket. Now... Drop a gear and disappear!
I ride a 15 GSXR 750. I plan to buy an Indin Scout Bober next.
Maybe you should build yourself a wheelie simulator to help get over your fear of gearing while the front wheel's up
I like your style great content bruh I have a 13 r6 I just bought in Oct first streetbike ever 😆 u right goin from a yz250 to a r6 was insane but I love my Supersport its fast and sexy what's funny if u talk to a cruiser guy they hate on Supersport and they all think there harley is fast and mine is just a toy that could break any day but the track bikes r no joke a machine tailored to the track. And another thing why has every harley guy I've rode with told me I need to sell and get harley ???? Good stuff 💯😈🤘
Nice. Love your videos..
your fan from Philippines.. :) RS.
Thanks for the info!

Nothing beats the allure of a superbike, they are everything you think they are. fast, nimble, and insanely fun. You’ll have guys telling you their street fighters are fast but they just don’t compare….
We all see bikes going by everyday and think nothing of it, but notice when a superbike goes by you almost get child like and wonder what bike it is. Nothing beats a superbike.
UFO at 0:40 XD

If you get a scooter I would like to see you get a Honda ADV150.
Something about your video feels nostalgic. I was expecting to see "Uploaded __ years ago" but nope. 2 weeks 😂. Amazing content nonetheless
Build that barn already!
what about cruisers?
Do you still have your M109?
Short bursts, get on and get off
Yeah
How is a 500exe compared to a 890 adventure?
@Thomas B I chose right then! She came in Friday
I’m not too excited about the rider aids they have added on everything. I understand the manufacturers wanting to have their own versions of rider assist systems, but that should be an option instead of standard in my opinion.
I got my bike partially for those aids. Most of them can actually be turned off except for the ABS, but I use my bike as a daily commuter and do a lot of rain riding so I was looking for them.
I’m like you somewhat… I ride a Harley, and used to wave to everyone, until I got flipped off for waving to this guy on an rice rocket… that being said I’ll wave at all Harley’s but only wave to others if I’m waved to… no disrespect but you got assholes on both sides of the fence and I don’t like drama😎
Too many people care about what others are doing
Kawasaki Z 900!! Comfy Streetfighter!!
