You forgot the Honda shadow riders
No Honda Shadow guys? Archeologists will literary dig their fossils with their bikes
Hahaha true
As a shadow rider this is hilarious
And their older brother...the VTX guys. 😂
@@marcmillington1733 My wife and I both have Shadows, She has the 09 Shadow Aero and I have the 18 Shadow Phantom, We both learned to ride on a 85 Shadow. Don't know why the 09 doesn't have a low fuel light yet the 85 and 2018 do.
@@odie1441 mines a 2011 it has a low fuel light. Bit strange how they just go... fuel light for so many years then no fuel light for 1 year and back to it lol
I loved my Fury, took my mom 6 months to find out it wasn't a Harley, she was so disappointed.
Lots of opinions very little information think i will stick to the reviewers who actually know their stuff!
👀🕵🏿🚩😁
@@leedavie4260 wtf are you talking about if someone owns a bike they can tell you about it
I just got a fury and I love it
@@HitManRickyTan no idea what you are on about or clesrly on for that matter. I am commenting on the review which is not an owner opinion. Totally respect an owners right to their personal opinion.
Vulcan owner here. We love them because they are cheap, reliable, but also give the comfort that sport bikes just don't give. Also, despite the horsepower, still pretty fast.
They don’t look right.
@@Pusfilth Compare the vulcan s to a vmax.
KVS proud owner here, just threw on a Delkevic Exhaust. Sounds so much better than the Stock Pipe. Only 2,000 Miles ridden so far, and i'm already considering an Indian Scout or New Chief Dark Horse...
If you start your explanation with the words "- it's cheap"... why bother finishing the sentence? The other point is that Harleys come with cruiser pedegree and heritage ... Vulcans do not :)
@@russhogan6967 some people like to ride but not spend their life savings. Also, cheap in cost not in quality. There's a reason why kawasaki made the long running 20 year 750 and then the kvs, its one of those bikes that as long as you change the oil and follow the maintenance check list it will run forever.
Im the C50 guy and i wear a hi viz vest and im happy to be cruising. Its a very reliable bike. And im 66. This is my first bike i bought 3 years ago at 63.
I'm only 43 and wear hiviz vest on my Suzuki s50 . And also like just cruzin.
I am a c50 girl. I love it! Fits me well. Easy to work on. Handles so well. And I love the way it looks. Plus I paid peanuts for it! Always ask my brother to go ride and his harley is hardly ever running so that's what I call it, the hardly. And he paid a ton for it! Forget that.
I'm also the C50 guy, bought it as my first bike in '05 at the age of 29. I have since had other bikes, but the C50 is still my daily driver. Versus a sport bike, I prefer the more complete visibility of the wider set mirrors, and the bags make grocery shopping more convenient.
The video got a few things right: I still run stock pipes. I switched from black to high-vis around age 35.
I'm not slow, though. I ride the shit out of the bike. As the old saying goes: It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.
@@ashleycates3016 The C50 is easy to work on? I wouldn't know, since I haven't had to go in there. Heck, I just recently replaced the original air filter after 16 years and 44k miles. Poor bike. It does get oil, tires, and brakes routinely, though.
I have a ct50, it's a very good bike for every day life. Ct50 owners don't need monster machines to enjoy the pleasure of motorcycling. Oh yes the comment about stock exhaust was really a cheap shot. Personally I believe loud motorcycles are crying for attention. Enjoy the ride, not the noise.
"Honda only makes ... Slow and heavy beginner bikes."
Shows picture of 220lb grom
It's all about power to weight with this fella. A 700 lb bike would be light to him if it had 2000 hp to offset the weight.
*angry Shadow noises*
Honda Magna's aren't heavy
@@davidrochow9382 my Magna's fast as hell
My Goldwing is not slow nor a beginner bike
I'm an old guy and I don't ever see myself on a Harley spending $25,000 on a bike that you just have to turn around and spend another 7000 so it'll get out of its own way seems like a waste of money. I have a Road Star Warrior and I absolutely love it.
I have a roadstar silverado. I'll probably never waste money on a harley either.
You don't have to spend $25,000.
I'm with you my friend I have two Yamaha a roadliner and a warrior best thing ever done and I sold HD to get them ride safe
LMAO, every bike comes from the factory needing (or rather you wanting) upgrades. Every. Single. One.
I love my street glide special. It’s beautiful and gets lots of attention.
This sounds like politics. Ride two wheels and ride it safe
Lol it literally does!
especially shitting on harley's i know theyre not the greatest anymore but still have a place in my heart
Amen
👍
The honda fury is underrated. Nice looking and extremely reliable with great power
I ride a kawasaki vulcan. Not a 650s but a 900 custom. Big 20 inch front tire and semi fat rear. Comfortable chopper esc styling and much better sound. I love cruising on it.
👍👍
The 900 might be one of the best beginner cruisers out there, super easy to ride even for a new rider, big enough to tour on, absolutely bulletproof, decent aftermarket , and is cheap and relatively easy to find used
My only gripe with the VN900 is the 5 gears. I really wish it had 6. Otherwise i love this bike.
@@XeoKai Agreed, always thinking 'm in 4th.
@@2854Navman I rode Sportbikes for years so it's always a letdown when I try to shift into 6th only to hear the inner monolog of sad trombone music.
This is how pure pressure starts and the fools that listen to them. Ride what you like at the end is your bike and your money all that bla-bla is one person stuck on a brand name that does the same as any other bike in the planet.
Exactly, like all the guys who wear sparkly jeans with the designs on the ass pockets. Give me the freaking Levis and buzz off
That's not true no bike breaks down like a Harley 🤣🤣🤣
Solid bro!..I have friends and all ride different bikes , 2 of them in different cut MC 💯....and not one of them has ever said to just get this kind of bike!! Conversation with a wise patch brother said ; fuck 🖕🏽those guys who said it’s better to wear all this or this when you ride a bike...”Cold” you will freeze!!.., “Rain” your wet , it don’t stop over you!!.., “Good Ride” look like a raccoon!!..., “All Leather” edge off a cliff , not brakes to stop you!!..The Difference , if it has a roof it’s an automobile !!
I think you mean "peer pressure" but yes you are absolutely right. Brand loyalty or whatever is a stupid practice. It's risky at best and detrimental at worst.
Btw I refer to my 84 Virago as a "Hardly Davidson" because I'm a dink.
@@ShodanLogan Most people that I have met on motorcycle don't even know much of anything about bikes in General and they get fool by dumb videos like this one.
If we all liked the same thing, there would only be one manufacturer making one bike.
It is funny though that most folks slamming Harleys always compare other bikes to a specific Harley model.
Yeah man my Ninja 600 is just like a road king, can't tell the difference.
@@godhandvoid9795 you missed my point, but since you can’t tell the difference between your Kawasaki and a Road King, that’s understandable.
@@stevena3446 I know you can't see me, but I'm face palming right now
I don't care. Love my Vulcan S. If I won a Harley, I'd sell it and get a Japanese bike. Oh well.
Vulcan Bois For Lyfe
Same here.. Preferred a Vulcan over a Harley !
Not a Vulcan guy myself, but I did pass the Harley along, after riding dad's Vulcan 1600, and his VTX 1800. Ended up with the 1800, after making a deal with him, and paying off his 1600, with about a 3rd of what I got out on my Heritage. Added a grand, and got my wife her Shadow 1100.
Just couldn't quite talk him out if that Vulcan.
I own a Vulcan S and a Sportster 1200.
Both are like penors. The Vulcan S is a grower...
And the sportster is a shower.
He's saying they dont sound good too, but he went and put a shitty yoshi pipe in the Z650. Should've looked into the IXIL pipes..... Had it on my ninja 650, thing was a real growler.
Honestly, the sound is the only thing I don't like about the Vulcan, but everything else is awesome.
My mate put a Mussari exhaust on his Vulcan S and took the silencer out and it's actually scary how loud and explosive it sounds
Yeah he should've reviewed the 900. I have a 900 classic and I like the sound. It's even better with a stage 1 baffle removal.
They sound good as fuck especially once they’re warm. Idk man. I’m more than happy with mine. However I do wish I had a little more power
@@nightxiv9329 I’ve got the Vulcan meanstreak with Vance and Hines set and a loping cam and man she sounds mean
@@zachoryperry6799 are your vance and hines full exhaust or just slip ons?
I'm the Vulcan S guy. Everyone told me I was too old to keep riding sport bikes. At 40 I bought a brand new Vulcan S. At 41 I bought another Ninja.
Vulcan S is comfy as fuck. Barely any rides with capability for comfort adjustment in stock
I have a 1800 goldwing last week I bought a honda st1300 I'm 77
@@SerCommander I still have the Vulcan also. I commute to work with it. Like you said, it's comfy as fuck.

The Vulcan S is a great bike and I love mine It's just part of his schtick to shit on them. Ride and respect man!
I’ve never wanted a cruiser but the rebel 1100 caught my attention and this video explains why
I currently ride a Rebel 500 and I'm thinking of getting the Rebel 1100 as a second bike.
I'm not getting rid of my first motorcycle.
Rebel 1100, ultimate sleeper bike, almost as dorky as a Versys, but is also one of the fastest cruisers on the market haha.
@@t.m.1502 Hard to argue, the Rebel 1100 has cruise control and a mountain of tech, and 90hp, all for under 10 grand. Slap some bags on it and use it as a touring bike
@@mrvwbug4423
I'm absolutely foregoing the DCT though. It's weird now I'm used to an automatic transmission in a car but not on a bike, have to have manual when I'm on two wheels.
@@mrvwbug4423
Bags and a 32"-36" windshield so you don't get buffered doing 80 through Montana on the way to Sturgis.
So are you saying, there are no good cruiser bikes other than Harley out there? Message confusing, does not compute...
That's exactly what he was sayin' 💯
No , he's saying that every other cruiser is better than an OVERPRICED harley 🤣 Just look on craigslist , letgo, cycletrader , and there are more harleys for sale than all other bikes combined , Hmmm 🤔
@@gd6349 That is what people do, sell old Harleys and buy new ones. There is a lot of Harleys out there so you will see more for sale that is how that works. Some people get it and some people don't so ride what ya ride but Harley shirts àre still cool.
@Romack Davidson Hey Romack , I'm worried about getting the most for my money , and not being a bonehead and buying/riding something because everyone else rides the same thing aka " harley " and no disrespect to any harley riders , but I had partners when I was still working that if you didn't ride a harley, they wouldn't ride with you , or invite you to ride with them either 🤔
I miss my Bolt. That thing was incredibly comfortable and smooth. And the Cobra exhaust on it sounded great.
Oh Yammie... when are you gonna realize that there are different types or riders and not everyone rides a motorcycle to go fast to "have fun". The cruiser type of rider is a very different community.
When are you gonna realize he's facetious to all riders in his list videos and he's just making content.
@@wishfull3nigma Lol... sure
@@wishfull3nigma he definitely has an implicit bias in regards to certain types of bikes/riders. Which is fine, it's that he isn't aware therefore his videos come off as skewed toward & against a certain demographic.
Not everyone wants a bike for speed & motoGP & not everyone wants a bagger so you can have a motor home on two wheels.
I personally like them all. If I could I'd have about 10 different bikes. I'm good with the 2 for now though.
He's still young...give him time...lol

You forgot the VStar riders. I have an 06 VStar 1100 and it is fun as hell. It’s a heavy mother but, I love it.
I AM BLESSED WITH THE EARLY YAMS. OH LAWDY!
Vulcan S rider and happy about it. Changed all the lights, exhaust, and seat to get it to not look like an ugly alien or sound like a sewing machine, or literally beat your gooch up. It’s not the best bike from the factory but it has excellent steering, acceleration, and for the price, it’s pretty damn fast. Vulcan S is a great option for beginners
I'm on a Vulcan 900 and love it. Cruising along the ocean, headed down to Baja for some fun with my GF, chill on the beach, ride back up to San Diego. Never had an issue with it, pack crap to moto-camp, and easy to chill and ride. Love it.
Pretty early for once!! I'm a Harley guy (Sportster 1200cb) , but in the garage is a Honda Fury as well and they both ride fantastically. My bike history, besides dirt bikes, includes a gsr600, f800gt and shadow 1100. From purely an enjoyment point of view, I'm incredibly happy with my Sportster and Fury combo
Awesome content Yam!!
Lol I love my fury. Harley guys look at me in absolute disgust when I say its a honda 🤷♂️
Yammie: praising the Rebel 500 for being a high-rev nakedkindasportbikecriuserbeginnething that can corner.
Also yammie: shitting on the Vulcan S for being a nakedkindasportbikecriuserbeginnerthing that sounds worse but corners better.
Classical Yam :)
Ps: i own both. And im going for a sporttourer now. So he is kinda right about the followup bikes XD
own a vulcan s and vulcan 900 custom both are awesome would like to find a yamaha warrior, stryker, raider etc. as well
🤣 how dod he get it spot on? I got my rebel and was looking at sport bikes a week later thinking i should have 🤣😅
I ride a Vulcan S, not only because I like it but mostly because here in Brazil there isn´t much of a choice.
In terms of cruiser we got the Vulcan S, over priced Harley-Davidson, some really expensive Triumph classics and... that's pretty much it.
Royal Enfield may bring their Cruise 650 to compete angainst the Vulcan near in the future, but that's it for the brazilian cruiser boys.
Yamanha, Suzuki and Honda stopped selling cruiser bikes about 10 years ago and Indian has left this country around 5 years ago. The Kawasaki used to sell the Vulcan 900 but they don´t do it anymore since 2018.
So, that's it. I ride the best cruiser (and most affordable, obviously) I could find brand new.
Sorry if I English skills aren´t perfect, but I did my best here =]
My Intruder has a few words to have with this man
@@viniciuspeluqui1040sorry, I didn't quite get you.
you mean the Intruder 125cc? It is city cruiser (if that term exists) but it isn't comfortable to ride with my girlfriend and baggage on long distances.
I also ride an AME C1-250, as known as Amazonas 250, and despite being the same engine as the intruder 250, it is not a good bike to travel with.
And I only mentioned new bikes that are currently for sale in Brazil, not the used motorcycles market, as, I believe, Papa Yam did in this video with the American scenario, of course
@@miguelantunes3868 Yes, the 125. I know, I'm just making a joke. I still take it on the road, but I understand traveling with 2 people on it is far from ideal.
How's your world today? Did you get Royal Enfield there? I've been reading good things about their improved quality and selling in more countries than ever. Safe travels
You did great :)

Love the video. I actually have a 2012 fury and a 2018 vmax. I live in Illinois where everyone I know has a street glide. I think the fury is a great bike all around. Great for cruising with the girlfriend. Everyone thinks it’s a custom bike. I tell them it’s a stock Honda and they can’t believe it lol. The vmax is my hold on and shit your pants bike. It can be a very easy going bike but twist that throttle and hang on! What an adrenaline rush. I consider myself a motorcycle enthusiast and one day I will have a garage full of bikes. I think I’m off to a good start. Stay safe out there my friends
I've been watching your videos for a few months now and I literally bought a '78 CB Honda 125 as my starter and what you're saying is so unbelievably correct for me personally. Also, your videos are very informative. Thank you very much for making them
Fury rider here. Love my bike. Handles like a dream!
The first time I saw a Yamaha V-Max was in 1985 the very first year of it's existence, my best friend who was pretty much 7 foot tall and weighed over 400lbs went out and bought himself a brand new one. That bike was super fast even with him on it.
dude probably looked ridiculous though lol. At that height you basically need to get a custom bike made or something, there's not a single production motorcycle that would be comfortable for someone 7 feet tall
@@godhandvoid9795 that's not a dude, that's a titan
@@godhandvoid9795 I'm 6'7" and the few times I test drove the 2001 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 (why is the name so long?) it was really comfortable.
I just got a Honda Fury this month as a beginner bike. I used to ride dirt bikes in high school but this is the first motorcycle I've actually owned. Yeah it can't really turn very well so u-turns turn into three point turns, but I enjoy it immensely. It's nice to drive around Austin on. Definitely a head turner.
That 1300 cc motor is an awesome motor too. I have it in my VTX and it's def an awesome motor for a beginner who wants to ride a cruiser.
58 y.o. vet, had back broken, been through the sh*t. Rode all the time in my younger days and didn't ride for almost 30 years. I now have a V Star 950 Tourer and you know something? I love it. Yes it has saddlebags (which I use), yes it has a windshield (removable) but I also did aftermarket pipes, seat, ECU flash...enough mods to make it mine.. I'm not out to prove anything to anyone. I'm not out to "fit in". I just enjoy riding. I dig your videos Yammie but sometimes you have a bit too much snark in them when talking about cruisers and their riders.
Thank you for your service sir. I too ride a V-Star 950, I was browsing the stealerships with a buddy who kept egging me on to buy a Harley and he was so disappointed when I picked the Yammie. Guess who's still riding their V-Star and guess who's bike is sitting in his garage mid-riding season? Enjoy the ride.
Oh, and the fuel injection is the absolute best thing I ever experienced on a motorcycle.
@@clipty2463 Agreed. I love love love the fuel injection. Getting the ECU flahsed gives incredible results as well.
@@DeanOliver1964 How does one go about flashing the ECU and what results from that?
Damn it, Ive got to do things but that seagway into the next video was gooood Papa Yam!
many cruisers were hurt in the making of this video
Yamaha raider and Yamaha warrior were my favorite non Harley bikes. I had a 2015 raider bullet for about 5 years. Great bike!
With his handle being yamanoob, I thought our star line would have been celebrated. I have dog bones and fork extensions for some extra ground clearance. If you can get a raider to wallow in the turn you are hauling some serious ass. Bike is built solid. Long bikes breathing life back into east coast traffic.
whoa I did not expect Yammie to praise the sportster! yay!
Besides the sound, EVERYTHING is good about the vulcan s. That's something
...except the seat. I love mine but the seat is awful. I'm pretty tall and have to stretch out and sit on the back of the seat/fender to get some relief for my tailbone.
and its terribad top speed
Except the engine, I guess.
@@EazyDuz18 Mine gets up to 90-something almost effortlessly in 6th gear. Don't even have to downshift for it. Since the speed limits are 70 at highest around here, it has quite a bit more top speed than I'll ever need or want. You weren't hoping to get one for the track, were you?
@@dunnkey1 I rented one for a day once and put about 3 hours in the saddle. Fuck me was my tailbone screaming by the end of it. Other than that, I would say I quite liked how it rode. For a cruiser, it had a bit of Kawasaki naked bike flavor to how nimble it felt, how neutral it was in a corner, and how you need to rev it into the mid-range for good power. But, again 'for a crusier,' the power actually isn't too shabby. Seat sucked though. Sounded...ok.
I had an 07 Kawy Vulcan Mean Streak SE 1600 and with an aftermarket exhaust that thing sounded amazing, I regret ever getting rid of it.
Love my fury. And everything you said was true. It’s handles like a wet dog, only likes straight lines, and front end gets light at 75+
This dude just said the m109r is slow 😂
The guy putting a Turbo on his 'Busa said it's slow. Everything is relative.
Right?!? Heavy? Sure. Slow? You need medical attention.
Right? Opinion disregarded. If a bike with a 0-60 barely even 1 second slower than a Hayabusa or GSX-R1000 is "slow", then his standards are skewed way beyond what he should be giving the average consumer his takes about.
V-maxxer here. He's right about getting gas and probably the age thing ( I'm 46 and bought my Vmax 3 years ago). But to me, there's a Vmax and then everything else. No, I haven't ridden a whole bunch of different motorcycles, but there's nothing like a 'max. People that have one will understand, those that don't never will.
Vmax owner here. I’ve ridden lots of bikes. Some he’s mentioned here. Owned a 1st gen for 4 years and upgraded to a 2nd gen. And I’m only 27! Lol And I agree that no one will ever understand!
Bolt rider here. Say what you want, but if i had to choose between a bolt and a sportster, i'd take the bolt all day. I've ridden both bikes and the yamaha is simply the better bike imo
Same
Same. 2019 Black/Black
Reliability, lower cost point, and liquid cooling.
Hey man I love my Harley, but all these other bikes are awesome too! They’re bikes after all lol
There are no bad motorcycles, just bad owners
50..and love my.2005 Road King, and my 2005 GSXR...Yup, woo hoo!!
Hell yeah, I currently own a grom, dr650, and electraglide ultra classic. I hate trying to watch bike videos and having to hear about " harley riders"...
I'm a Vulcan 650s guy and I love it, Yams! Coming off an R6 so it's quite the change 😀.
got my honda fury about a month ago and i love it. handles just fine but all the other stuff you said i 100% agree with we simply enjoy the ride especially on something that looks so nice.
Guessing you haven’t ridden a Guzzi built in the modern era. I owned a Norge 1200 GT for a while. They will shimmy side to side at idle but as soon as the driveshaft starts to spin, the shimmy stops.
This. My California 1400 smooths out completely...
Future Vulcan S guy here. I don't know what you're talking about, Shammie Pubes. The S sounds great (exploding money always sounds good). It is also hilarious that you mention that Vulcan S guys are destined for the Versys 650 because I was looking at that as my second bike. What can I say? Kawasaki offers a lot of bang for the buck and the bikes offer the right amount of tech and gadgets. Also, I recently asked a female friend of mine which she would rather ride on the back of: a Vulcan S or an M50, and she said the Vulcan, so chalk one up for us. Also, the Dodge Charger has never been offered with a four-cylinder engine. The SE is lame, but the GT is not, and that comes with a V6.
The list video lives on!
Hah! Perfect observations , skillfully spoken! The Guzzi stuff had me 😂😂
Started on a Rebel 300, a month later bought a Street Bob 107.
2 years later sold both and bought a CB 650 R, now tempting for the Rebel 1100
Since Harley doesn’t answer my needs
I started on the dark side with a Sportster, went metric with a Kawasaki, trading it in for that new Rebel at the end of this month. Come along with me, brother!
That need a home to live in since the rebel 1100 is only 10k lol and it’s a Honda lol
No reason to feel slighted. He didn't mention it because there's nothing to make fun of. :-)
If my intermediate bike isn't the Honda Rebel 1100 (without the annoying DCT), it'll be an Indian Scout.
Man those are some nice bikes, but being 6'6", just couldn't do it. But those Indians are sweet.
I love my vulcan s. It is plenty fast for me, it will do over twice the speed limit of most the roads I ride on and makes the 25mile road to work a joy, it turns in easily, feels stable, and has no problem taking off at the lights. It is a great balance.
I love my 2014 Great Value Sportster. I wanted the Harley looks without the Harley price tag plus only paid 4K for it. Previous owner bought it, rode to the safety course, rode home, and didn’t touch it since. Only had 60 miles on it and to top it off it was the Rspec model. Half price for a practically new bike is one helluva deal
Best looking bike of the bunch, ... Vulcan S, The one I love the most, ... V-Max, but the one I'd be most likely to buy, ... Suzuki C-90. Yep I'm an old guy. Give me the "Dad Bike". ;)
No one has ever said the vulcan s is the best looking ever at any point. An 07 vmax in person dwarfs the vulcan s in looks.
@@seanbutler2291 Looks are subjective my guy. Some people like the looks of the Vulcan S some people don't.
I can't wait until you guys ride a Vmax... So amazing
Vmax guy here! They won’t understand until they do!
I’m a relatively newer rider. I got a VN750 as my first bike. I love it. I know you didn’t mention the VN series here or I don’t think in any of your videos but I ride with Harleys and keep up with no problem. Another great video by the way.
Have a Honda Fury now and I love it. I've owned many sports bikes in the past years, 900rr, R1, Z1000. But this Fury and the also mentioned Vmax are by far my 2 favorites I've owned.
Hahahaha! Old Vulcan S boi here and well, you’re not wrong. 😂
I just picked up my 2019 Honda Fury. Amazing ride and looks great. Just switched from a 2007 Honda Shadow. Little to no learning curve at all, just a different body!
I just bought my Vulcan 500, never road a motorcycle in my life. But I'm in love with this beast
Yammie, I love ya dude. Really, everyone that has taken my Fury for a spin shops for one. I carve the canyons of Utah and keep up with the bullet bikes on it, even with hard bags.

You totally forgot the dude that takes the logo off his tank so people will think his cruiser is a Harley , those guys suck
I left the Kawasaki logo on my tank, for when folks tell me that they like my Harley. I don't have to correct them, I just point.
@@Creepermoss no one tells you that
@@Pusfilth Believe what you want. When you're old enough to own a motorcycle, you're free to buy a Harley.
@@Creepermoss yeah I did lol
I have a vtx 1300c, I love my hd..for Hon Da lol still logod n all.. I stick my nose up at no bikes...maybe vespas lol
Watching this in school can't miss papa yam
My first bike is a yamaha vstar 1100 and i really enjoy it got it last summer and its a great size to grown into where i don't have to worry about upgrading right away. Not going to lie only down fall with cruisers are the weight of them from my first summer of riding
Don't hate on the m109R they are a fun ride
My dad has a fury and everything stayed about it is accurate lol 😂
Hahaha, nice the Fury made it into a video. But dude, you should really try riding one if you haven't. You'll be surprised how well it handles. I keep up with my street bike friends just fine in the mountains at a spirited pace.
doesn't matter what your riding.just have fun!
You really missed a whole slew of riders when you didn’t mention metric power cruisers like the VTX 1800 or the Suzuki M109R. I realize the VTX is no longer made but it still has a huge following. I would definitely consider the new Rebol 1100 but I’m not a fan of DCT so I would go with the base model.
Just my take on this.
I’m a shadow spirit 1100 rider, even though it’s 13 years old it feels really good, I’m considering making the jump to a VTX 1800 as a permanent bike to have those 100+ HP to smoke harley boys and not have to constantly go to get gas like with the VMAX 1700
@@Minecraftlol18 hell yeah. I did a quick review on my channel about the VTX 1800 touched on the VTX 1300 and gave my experience with the V45 magna. Give it a watch if you want. I think I did a decent job
I love my vtx 1800 and I’m a 21 year old grandpa on mine but it’s comfortable and she runs
Currently riding a VTX1800 F, and I love it!
Thank u wandered where I fit in. 04 VTX 1300s. Great looking bike. Fun to ride. And got it cheap with low miles
People really saying ‘early’ or ‘first’ instead of something useful lmao
First
Thank you for your contribution 🙏🏽
Still gonna cruise my HD Dyna! Funny stuff love the channel and bikes ! All bikes
I’m new to the bike world of last year. 34 years old self taught how to ride a bike March in Alaska Love it. I was in the market of a Harley 48 but unfortunately couldn’t find one at the time so I picked up a 2021 rebel 1100 love it the adrenaline is unbelievable but still would like to pick a Harley 48 sometime in the future.
Wtf Ive never been this early...now if I can only get a ride on the new Chief
I keep forgetting the Honda Fury is a thing since it isn't offered here in Canada. lol
you wont get it until you rode a guzzi, thats a fact :D feeling the engine rocking side to side under you is amazing :3
I love my Fury. It’s just fun to ride. It’s comfortable and considering I’ll never enter any kind of maneuvering competitions, it’s handles like a champ for everything I encounter.
3:35 The fact that he used Jhon Abraham's pic for the V Max guy.
You're wide off the mark concerning Fury riders. Yes it's true we love chrome but we ride way more than just the main street. My buddies and I regularly do rides over 1600 KLM (1000 M). They handle much better than you say and with a good seat you can put some big miles on them. Hang around the Fury Forum and you'll be surprised.
As to the Vulcan 650, my son got one as his first bike and all the good things you hear about them are true.
I love my fury, had a few HD's but man give me my fury any day of the week, just hated the sound with the stock pipes to 1 day when I had nothing to do I took an angle grinder and cut the baffles straight off and just made some pipes out of scaffold poles and wow the sound is awesome now.
used 2 watch everyday. then i got a bike. its been 2 years now. feels good to watch again lol
Ah, to be ignored as always. Its like my V Star 1300 was never made
Us V Star riders are just superior.
They just can’t compare us V Star riders to others.
This is how I felt watching this lol. People never heard of it! Love my v star 1300
Been on metric cruisers for 22 years, mostly Virago's, V-Star's and VTX's. Riding a Victory Highball now, shit, I think I fall into the fury category 😒😔😖😫
I'm currently on a virago 535.brilliant bikes
Unfortunately those bikes you mentioned are no longer in production, except maybe the v star 250 and the Bolt. Nothing wrong with any of those bikes, just not much Japanese cruisers as there used to be.
Riding a VTX 1800 right now. Great bike
@@willwallace19 Same here. Dad's old 2004.
I still have fond memories of my 920 Virago. Should have kept it, but it got my wife her VT1100, and expanded our road family by 2 new riders. Sad, but worth it.
As someone that would be considered a beginner (I had a Rebel for a few months about 18 years ago), the Bolt is the most appealing to me. I don't need anything that's fast, it has a low seat height and feels lighter than a Sportster.
Totally agree! The rebel 500 got me into riding 😁😊
Guzzis are "special" and thats why I love mine. My 2017 Moto Guzzi Griso always gets positive attention. I've had people pull up beside me, while I was going 100 mph on the highway, and give the bike a thumbs up. My Harley only gets attention from older "party" women and wannabe biker fans.
Yamaha should have never dropped the Raider. The Bolt needs more displacement (at least 1300 ccs) and possibly engine counterbalancers (like the Raider) and a six-speed gearbox. Styling-wise, the Bolt has it cinched! I've been building and riding choppers, rest-os, dressers, and drag bikes since the late 1960s. I still don't have any tats or body metal -- I've got enough scar tissue. In 1969, I knew Honda 750s would be chopper material down the road. Back in 1970, guys like Tony Carlini built some bruisin' and rideable choppers out of CB 750s.
I laugh out loud more on this motorcycle channel than any other motorcycle channel. Wit and attitude.
Hope we get to see you guys ride the new rebel 1100 soon! Also check out the 2018+ cb1000r. I saw there were a couple for sale in Dallas on cycle trader
I have a fury and that part made me laugh
My favorite cruiser of all time was my '87 Suzuki Intruder 750. It had the chrome package, custom paint (white ghost flames on orange) and aftermarket exhaust. I can't count how many times people asked if it was a Harley. Sold it to help pay for the wedding (bad move, getting divorced now). Had an '05 Intruder 1400 but was not comfortable on it with my 32" inseam. I've wanted a Fury since I first saw one and IF I ever get another cruiser, it might be a Fury or another Intruder. My interest has shifted though... looking to do some trail riding on a TW200. Street gets boring, and there are so many idiot drivers on the road.
Hey, enthusiast new owner of a 1990 suzuki intruder 747 here. Having put 700 miles on it in a couple of weeks, i can say it's a funny ride. I just wish it had a 6th gear, have you ever felt the same, Mate?
@@lucarinaldichini324 I like how it barked going down the highway!
@@IVIayhem yeah, I know what you mean, with some good vance&hines it's a mad dog 😁
V star 650 and i love it! With 13 inch apes and a cobra exhaust, only thing its missing is a 6th gear!
As a fury rider, I can agree with everything you said. It does get a lot of attention lol
The Harley is the icon bike, even if it can't go, stop or turn very well. Too funny!
Yeah, I started out on a Sportster, and that line had me dying. It’s so true!
Where is your sportster? Still running or blew up?
Rebel rider here, i get a ton of compliments on it. Very fun little bike
Honda Fury’s are sick looking bikes! Yammie is right, if you see one in the wild consider yourself lucky!
