What do you think, should we make more videos about motorcycles?!
yes
Kawasaki!
Buell should be an interesting episode. Then do something on the Jap bikes.
Pleeeeease
Yamaha YZ
As a wisconsiner, the most impressive part about this video is the fact that you got the squeak right for the cheese curds. Subbed to Donut because of it.
Do t forget the bubbler lmao I was dying I'm from Milwaukee by st. Luke's lmao and the way he said Milwaukee made me die
@@Sora8112 East side Wisconsiners aren't real Wisconsiners. Water fountains are called water fountains. This post was made by the West Side gang
@@teejation1064 we all donut gang all Wisconsin is Wisconsin but it's a bubbler lmao I refuse there's a plumbing device in there called a bubbler that makes it laminar flow for easier drinking and the first one made in Milwaukee looked like a bubble
But not the sound of the engine. "Plop plop"?? It's a Harley, not Alka-Seltzer. That joke is waaay before your time, son. Ask Grandpa.
0:59 Ok, that intro was freaking epic! Please give a big fat high five to whoever did that! Well done sir!! 🔥🔥

@Dave Micolichek first of all, not all of us are native english speakers, secondly i have deleted it only if you have read the comment was made 3 months ago oh and thirdly לך לאזאזל
It's been exactly 4 years since you guys have uploaded this vlog about Harley. I'm still not getting tired of watching it. It is well made. 💚👌🏼🏍
Nbs 🤣 this gotta be my 4th time
@@cliffordernest7825 At the beginning of the video, James asked every viewer to let them know if they fvcked up.
THEY DIDN'T! 😁👌🏼
I could personally go another 4 years without hearing about harleys. Actually make it another 40 years. Maybe by then HD will actually make a good bike.
@@jvillain9946im a die hard harley guy and i agree 😅. I have been moving towards Indian because at least they are trying new things like the frt.😊
@@zanenevada7327not sure u know what die hard means
Do more Motorcycle Up to Speeds....(all motorcycle types)
Yasss up to speed on adv bikes!!
@@excaliburgt4537 I'd love to see an up to speed on the hayabusa, super blackbird, and zx-14
start with Honda, the greatest bike company
You got the Yamaha R series, Kawasaki Ninja series, GSXR series, Honda CBR series, Triumph Daytona series, Ducati Panigale series. That's just super sports. Then you have naked bikes, dirt bikes, dual sports, adventure bikes, Bonneville style bikes and more
@@isaiahl7727 lovely, adventure bikes
I will admit, your presentation was outstanding. You definitely know how to hold people's attention!
You should make more videos.
I LIKE WHAT YOU GOT, GOOD JOB!
Board racing was insane, no brakes just a kill switch, winners would get up to 25k. The crowds that would gather were insane, 100,000 spectators. What a sport.
i would have competed if on a honda
Hell yeah. What a time.
Goes to show you dudes been after “Mo power!” for a long long time...
I’m guessing you were at one judging by this explanation. So if that’s the case how does a person over 100 years old know how to use RUclips?
After inflation thats about 750k today
By doing a motorcycle manufacturer you guys just opened a content floodgate, up to speed on the Honda Goldwing.
Yooooo I'm into it.
@@giorap2625 OK what is an American bike? Harley is assembled in the US with a lot of the parts coming from outside the US.
@@giorap2625 So, Indian, Buell which is heavily based on Harleys and what else? I'm sorry but the US hasn't got that much history with local motorcycle brands when compared to Japan, England or Italy. Even New Zealand with its Britten V1000 has more interesting content.
YES!
I have a classic Goldwing, I'm turning into a cafe-racer. The modern ones are not really for me. They're too heavy. I prefer more sporty Sport-touring bikes, like the VFR800. But modern Goldwings are nice, especially the recent generation.
@@giorap2625 Marlon Brando and Steve McQueen were riding Triumphs. Honda and Suzuki were building indestructible engines in the 70s that are looking like they'll make it to their 50th birthdays (mine are about to hit 40). Those bikes are beautiful in their mechanical simplicity. None of the American brands seem to be making the entry level motorcycles at an affordable price point to bring in new riders. You can't tell most of the story of American motorcycles without foreign brands.
I'm all in favor of hyping the American brands, but most of them don't return the patriotism that I want to see to be an enthusiast on that basis. Even if they do, they don't have the market share that would make their biography relevant.
look dont get me wrong, the others are good too , but half of the 2.1 million donut media followers are because of THIS guy
If we're honest with ourselves that's true
I like the guy with a broken arm too
Nolan is honestly boring as fuck I can’t stand his videos
I actually found this channel because I watched all of Bart’s videos
I'm here for the herse-purrs, turks and to get. ... MO POWA BABY!
Yes, do more bikes. Make a video about rise and fall of Buell.
Awesome suggestion!!
The illestrator did that and i feel like it was perfect. Check it out. Its called The rise and fall of buell motorcycles
This!!This!! This!!
I feel like HD should create a sister company so that they are free to seek out other potential buyers. That way they can have much more creative freedom without worrying how itll affect their current buyers and still have the ability to attract new potential buyers to the HD family.
They did have a brand under them called Buell. Buell was more about Harley-Davidson motors in sport bike frames. It lasted only about a decade under harley, but they still exist today.
The series includes bikes now!? Man this channel just gets better and better 👍💪

I thought it was Hulk Hogan there. 😣
This was awesome. Next. Honda motorcycles. Then Kawasaki, Suzuki, Ducati, etc.🤙👍
YES SUZUKI PLS
Honda! They started with bikes. More videos please.
Oh yes, that would be a truly great stories.
Royal Enfield
BMW bikes please, theyre sooo overlooked because of their cars but theyre solid
Fun fact about the Blackjack excursion to capture Pancho Villa: When Villa heard there were Americans coming to get him in Harley's, he opted to get himself an Indian Motorcycle, pose for photos with it, and actively taunt the US Military. Turns out tho, WWI was more important to the US than a Mexican revolutionary raiding its southern border.
this guy is so entertaining to watch 😂😂
YES FINALLY. Not a Harley guy, but as a biker, I finally feel represented on this channel.
To be fair it IS a car channel
Harley guys don`t watch youtube, only fox...Harley`s a bike for the old ass silver haired trump cucks .

please stop
if Harley would have embraced Buell - they would've been relevant to a younger crowd long ago.... but they didn't.
Yep I love the buells learned to ride on my dad's years ago. Gotta Suzuki SV now. Love the twins.
The xr750 could very easily be made to evolve into a street bike and dual sport, scramblr look is badass now
Glad someone else agrees with that. They wanted Eric Buell to make bikes their way. If they would have gave him full creative support Buell would still be Harley Davidson's super sport brand. I could only imagine what he would have done with the Livewire.
Always had the same opinion. They were badass when they first came out. I've always loved v twin sport bikes, I was in love with the rc-51, Ducati, Buell back in the day. You just can't beat their sound. Harley would have been unstoppable if they'd embraced Buell from the start. I still really want one, never had the chance to get one yet. I had a 96 fat boy when I was young, and when Buell came out with their bikes, I was like holy shit this is my dream bike. A fast harley.
If buell had put a conventional front brake on the XB12r race bike at the Daytona 200, McWilliams would have lapped the field and won handily, but as it was the crew couldn’t change the front wheel without a almost lap each time.
I venture that if they’d won that race Harley’s (and potential buyers) opinions of their sport bike would’ve been different
Buells are quick and torquey and had tons of innovationsthat got the center of gravity pretty low, like oil in the swing arm, fuel in the frame, exhaust and suspension completely under the bike.
Buell is an amazing thinker in terms of performance and function, his EBR bikes were pretty amazing too. But perception of American sport motorcycles is pretty narrow minded and short sighted.
"They never captured Poncho, but they had a freakin' BLAST!" LOL
even after all the years this has been up, i still find this an amazing episode.
Everything you need to know, to get up to speed. On..
DUCATI
Mario Kart.
The real reason to get the 1000 is the for the electronics package.
He didnt mention the price difference, which is considerable.
The bike hasnt changed in the last 5 years and neither has the price compared to the top teir race replica liter bike.
1:14 did every call their first car/bike ‘The Model...”😂😂😂
YEEEESSSSSS........ PLEASE, i would love a whole show about motorcycles, I think a lot of people would, not just people who ride either. there isn't much content for motorcycles on UTUBE
I want a MoPowaBaby sticker to put on my Motorcycle!!!!
ME TO! Donut media should make MoPowaBaby bumper stickers on their merch page.
Simon Wayman I'm in for this!
We need a MoPowaBabeh montage as well
Hell yeah 6:53
As a Québecois I can't argue about the importance of squeaking cheese curds, especially if it's in a poutine.
I died when he screamed “MO POWA BABY!!!” XD
Came for the motorcycle content, stayed for the upper Midwest impression. Also... Ya gotta have the squeak. They're just not the same without the squeak. Thanks James!
I can't get mad at you guys making fun of my home state because what you all said is completely true about Wisconsin
Everything you need to know to get up to speed on INDIAN MOTORCYCLES
Hell yes brother.
Yesssss
Yes
Which one? The Singh Indians? Or the First Nation Indians?
@@ryneagheilim9782 America's first Motorcycle company
One of the best motorcycle vids, if not the best motorcycle vid, I 've seen on youtube.
Yes, more please!
Also, your next video should be arguably the best production bike ever built: Honda CB750
Or about the cbx1000 with its heavenly sounding 6 cylinder engine
I think my favorite part of this video is my bike behind James 😁
being from wisconsin and growing up on harleys and now riding them, i give this video a 11/10. thank you
Harley Davidson, converting gasoline into noise without the harmful side effects of power since 1901.

Great video. Born in 57. Funny I've only had sporties my 71 1000 sucked my 63 and 68 and now my 08 are great

Pumphrey: *Names three of the models with the Evo*
Softail models: Am I a joke to you?
Yes.
Awesome! Love Harley Davidson! My grandpa was a Harley flat track and drag racer in the early '60s!
I came expecting at least a mention of the Hells Angels and was not disappointed. Good job
You missed to talk about the two engines after the Evolution: The Twin Cam and Milwaukee Eight
They also missed the panhead and shovelhead.
@@joekool4 those are the last two reliable harleys
@@jaewhite2462 Except they're not. The Evo engine (The Blockhead) is a rock solid anvil.
Harley is been on so much support.......they should prove they deserve it
Biggest mistake next to AMF was dropping Buell. Imagine where they'd be with that brand today.
@MegaStick93 Dam right AMF saved HD's ass. It would have been broken up and sold off as scrap. BTW Sportsters Rule
The Buell Blast would absolutely be killing it in today's market. All the Asian manufacturers are leaning hard into that affordable 400cc range and HD could have had Buell owning that market for the last 10 years. I bought my first bike, a Ninja 250, 10 years ago only because I couldn't get my hands on a used Buell Blast in Las Vegas. I would guarantee I'd still be buying a Blast today if it were available.
Rods Logic >> Correction, Sportsters rip. Big Twins rule!
@@boomer1954ful Who gives a fuck
Harley couldn’t make a good enough engine to compete even Buells kinda sucked until Erik Buell started EBR and put Rotax engines in his designs.
The short answer, yes. Yes please. Yes. And also, this channel wouldn't be the same without James. Keep up the good work.
I live in Milwaukee and this video had a good representation
Younger crowds can’t afford harleys. And I don’t want a sportster.
You can finance it but I have to say they are very expensive I want a sportser but if you want a bigger one it’s hard
Sportster is literally the only Harley that is original to Harley and the longest built motorcycle lol
I bought the 2018 iron 1200 brand new I was 23 and was the youngest guy to walk in there and finance for 72 months.It is all about how you handle your money.
Also there is the used market. You don't have to buy brand new. I was 23 when I bought my Harley, got a Softail Deluxe. Love it to death. 25 now. Regret nothing.
@@alexanderbaum9677 right you don't have to but if you have great credit why the f not? Lmao
As a Wisconsin guy, I can confirm that that sconie mocking scene was painfully accurate.
262, well technically I live in minnesota for college but I’m a sconie guy at heart
God, I wanted a v-rod. Specifically the Nightrod Special. Sat on one once, and I was grinning the whole rest of the day. If I had that kind of money, I would definitely have bought it.

Can we have an Episode on Isle of Man TT and MotoGP history and their bikes? and yes we want more BIKE videos.
James, listen to this brother! An Everything you need to know: Isle of Man TT episode could be AWESOME!
A news release says the inaugural event will take place at multiple venues throughout the Milwaukee area on July 13-16, 2023. Riders, enthusiasts, and fans are invited to meet in Milwaukee for a huge celebration.
Great episode, I love the Wisconsin humor along with the harley stuff. I look forward to more cycle videos!
Thinking leather tassels is a good look, and be willing to spend huge money on the " lifestyle" and technology others left behind years ago. As long as you're happy to stick to straight roads you will be fine, just keep away from the bends 😊
As a wisconsinite, I find this extremely offensive....
And extremely accurate.

To Suzuki's credit the GSXR models were fast bikes, but Suzuki hasn't brought out anything new in any of their lines. Kawi H2 is a monster production bike along with Yamaha's R1 which Suzuki needs to counter to stay competitive.
You heard of the HAYABUSA?
@@sigursberget3777 Yeah, but its nothing new nor can it compete with the H2. R1 maybe, but Suzuki needs to bring something to the table in 2019 or 2020 to stay competitive. Their atv line is old, along with their bike line. Not saying anything wrong with them, but theyve been running the same stuff over a decade now.
Just bought my street bob and am going to Sturgis for the first time.

-They back stabbed Indian Motorcycles
-They hissy fit when Japanese bikes mopped the floor with them

THIS! I have a '79 CB650, so I need a CB/CBR series episode, haha! Yeah, I'm selfish in my desires. CB/CBRs make up probably about half of all the classic bikes still leaning in corners today. Some of them are literally leaning in corners of my garage currently because I don't ride it since I have a 103 Street Bob as well, haha! :)

Holy santa clause s***! Your venturing into the motorcycle world! can't wait to see your take on Honda, Kawi, Suzuki, Yamaha, Ducati, etc !!
You thought it was James pumphrey, but it was *I, BIKER DIO!*
After WWII guys were BOBBING bikes by taking useless dead weight off of the bike.
CHOPPING was when you cut the frame and changed the riding geometry (usually for longer forks and happened in the 60's & 70's )
and lets all just agree to forget about the 'Theme Bikes' from OCC and their ilk.
A surprise for sure, but a welcomed one
That means a lot coming from a Civic! Truly. :D
They didn’t find any bandits....... but they had a FREAKIN BLAST!
Why does your Wisconsin accent sound like a Minnesota accent?
I felt like it was more of a Wisconsin accent. I have relatives that live in the Milwaukee area, and I'm from MN. I think the spoof was pretty spot on.
They're all southern Canadians anyway.
It was more of a yooper accent. Up nort people
LMAO that "More Power Baby!!" scene was so funny. My son and I were laughing so hard. Thanks for all the great videos guys. And definitely more motorcycle videos please.
