Being a rider of more than 45 years I never understood why they started coming out with all these odd sizes until someone recently pointed out it was for emissions. I started on 2-strokes and moved onto inline-4 4-strokes that I road raced on and had one v-twin Buell which was a torque monster(5th gear burnouts from dead stop starting in 5th). I have no need for riding triple digit speeds any more so at 61 years old I will do my remaining rides on my gross polluter RD400 and my clean air XR150L. My first Honda ever being a pretty loyal Yamaha person my self but, Yamaha offers nothing close to the XR as far as bang for buck goes.

This might be an unpopular opinion but I love the decent chinse brands like CFMOTO, Beneli, etc. They're pretty popular in Europe, all of us can agree that they're far from a high end motorcycles, but you get a pretty good bang for your buck. They're pushing decent tech and add-ons that a lot of other Japanese/European bikes don't have as standard. That's just gonna push all brands to invest more into their products, its a win for everyone.

My CFMOTO 300NK has been lots of fun so far, cheap transportation for doing things when I don't want to take my truck out and about. And gives me an option if I don't want to put extra unneeded miles on one of my R1s. Don't get me wrong I love my R1s, been riding them for 20+ years and currently have 2. But sometimes the big liter bike is just more than I need to run to the store, or do some errands. So far the CF has been great with no problems and does everything I bought it for.

The whole reason these came about is that when they first started outsourcing to china etc the factories would take the designs and make their own models with them, or somebody would pay them to do so. By partnering with these companies the big brand companies that designed the bikes actually get some money from these cheapo knockoffs that they wouldn't otherwise and the cheapo ones benefit by being able to say, hey look, the actual brand endorses us!

The character of a motorcycle or any other product comes from the product designers, not the OEM who built it. If you just throw a name on a Chinese POS, then sure. But if you control the design, the components used, the style, and the quality (all doable) the end product can have as much character as a product coming out of your own factory. In fact, it can be better because the OEM will have strengths that the client company won't have. Case in point, the new Triumph Speed and Scrambler 400's. They're built by Bajaj, but if you didn't know that, you'd swear they were built by Triumph. They've received rave reviews and are already a sales success. No way Triumph itself could have built that bike at that quality level for that price. So I don't see it as a problem, as I worked in the consumer electronics industry where this practice started decades ago and continues to this day.

Bajaj also makes great bikes for their own brand, aimed towards the small displacement market. Both workhorses and sportish nakeds, with tech that before them was rare to see in that segment. Admittedly some of their earlier models had some issues but were later fixed in newer versions. Nowadays they're fairly reliable and cheap.

My wife bought an SR/F and when she did, it kind of made sense. Work was less than 5 miles away, and typical combustion engines had short runs. So and electric bike made sense. But there's very few good reasons for them. They are for all practical purposes in town toys. That's why she also has a combustion engine bike so we can ride outside the city limits. And this really is the knock on electric bikes for me. Expensive new, can't sell them used because nobody wants them due to their short range. As a rider for over 45 years, I love getting on it and zipping around, but honestly once I do that, it's got nothing left in the tank and takes a couple of hours to recharge. That's no fun.

If we were to be realistic, people that daily ride motorbikes do not need nor want liter bikes/600cc inline 4’s. Manufacturers do not care about people that ride bikes for 2-3 months a year, they will always pander to daily riders because that’s how you also make money from spare parts. A person that rides daily is also more inclined to replace his motorbike more often than someone who buys a bike and only uses it for a few months a year. At the end of the day they are companies that only care about profits, so the majority dictates the market

Vehicles that are made so well, and so reliable, useable that they stay on the road for 40 years with some level of factory support to enable that (upgrade options, or buy-back and refurb options) new models should appear at a slower pace and a thriving factory supported resale industry would eliminate a lot of waste in the world and also result in better more thoroughly thought out designs

I rented the Harley (badged) Livewire while my Stage IV Milwaukee 8 was in the shop for the SECOND time for rear cylinder leaking oil. I wanted to hate on that Livewire, but wanted to try it for the experience. That is quite a bike. Of course it seats like a mid position upright. It's a pleasure being an on off control in traffic, no clutch or shifting. The regenerative braking is quite impressive. It has those massive front dual brembo brakes which I hardly touched. There's quite a bit of power and goes quite fast. I'd definitely have one as part of a multiple bike arsenal if I commuted in this horrible traffic. The bad part... the range sucks even in the best of situations and you get less than 1 percent charge use per mile at highway speeds. I started with 100 percent on a 70 mile ride and hit zero percent near my home coming back (coasting to a light). At zero percent the throttle becomes a switch and it goes into some kind of limp mode at 10MPH.... it died outright coasting into my driveway parking spot. The major electric issues are low range and you can't tank up. The charger they have you use takes 12 hours from zero percent to fully charge. The price on those things are hard to swallow. The think the Harley badged one was almost $30k when it first came out.

Having the expectation of an ev to go long distance is the same as expecting a flathead screwdriver to loosen a phillips head screw. If you use a tool the way it was designed it works well.

I disagree on the Electric Motorcycle point. They aren't stupid, instead they are simply not ready for prime time yet. 1. If you want real performance, they are prohibitively expensive. This is true, but look at the low end of the market for value, for example the Surron. I also dare say that fast e-scooters are motorcycles in all but name. This market is growing fast, and prices should come down in the next several years. 2. Some are heavy, but others aren't. The aforementioned Surrons are under 120lbs. Sure, they have a max speed of 45mph, but people still love the Grom even though it's twice the weight and barely faster. 3. The tuning market for electric motorcycles hasn't matured yet. However, there already are tuning shops covering electric motorcycles. Overvolting is like boring out the engine. 4. The point about "riding a computer" is also true on modern tech-laden "uSe OuR aPp!!!1!!" gas-powered motorcycles.

I wish the trend of '90s and early 2000s will come back - when they built general purpose motorcycles naked and faired versions with proper engines (+600cc, inline 4), long, wide comfy seats for both rider and passenger, and which was long and wide enough that you could mount any moto-bag, cool looking, proper fuel tank and not overpriced and is not monstrous big like today adv bikes. Examples of general purpose bikes? Suzuki bandit 600/1200 N/S, yamaha fazer and all others of that type of that era. I like the view of modern nakeds, but the fuel tanks of 12-14 litres, makes range so low. Saddle - stiff as wooden bench. And tail is half short, so there is not much place for passenger and moto-bags. Modern adv bikes? Sure they do it's job but for me they look odd. And the adventure bikes of +800cc are monstrous sizes (not by weight but dimensions comparing to motobikes from '90s) and are much, much more expensive.

Thank you for calling out the motorcycle journalists who have been exaggerating the range, performance, and social value of electric motorcycles for at least a decade. What a bunch of bull!! It's refreshing to see a young(ish) American man willing to speak his mind and certain about his pronouns. We're doomed!

Had a 1996 Buell Lightning. Everything was done on it. Had it bored to 1280, crazy carb, v&h exhaust that was ment for a dirtbike. It looked like shit and was loud as fuck. Had a yello paint job with a dark red rear piece that allowed a passenger. It was the best and worst bike ive ever had. Made 107hp and 98fpt on the dyno. It was crazy town and i smoked every single other rider i encountered. I think it was about 365 pound wet. Fun stuff.

That "fail" on the daytona was out of pocket 😂 What's wrong with it? I love mine as my first bike. It's definitely strong enough, and it handles and feels like a dream, especially compared to the RS660

I had a Grom for commuting and it got stolen so I went out and bought the first bike I could get my hands on coz I need to get to work, a Benelli TNT 125. I expected it to be shit but erm...it's better than the Grom, the brakes actually work (I rebuilt the Groms brakes 3 times before they actually did anything that can be considered braking) and the suspension is light years ahead...this feels very wrong. 😆

I felt the same way, until I learned that burning a single 6.3 pound gallon of gasoline pumps ~18 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. I can’t deal with spewing that much crap into the world, day after day. So I’m all electric now. And btw, you can definitely service them yourself. It’s not as much fun, usually, since my Energica’s drive system is a lot simpler than my Yamaha 750 Maxim (yes, my other bike is 42 years old and it has a computer too.)

I recently test rode the CFMOTO 300SR & Harley Davidson X350 and, ergonomics aside, they felt like they were the exact same bike. Great as commuters, but pretty meh on the riding experience. I had more fun on my 2008 Yamaha Scorpio & 2006 Ninja 650 riding to the dealerships than on the test rides of these new bikes. Between riding those, I rode a Benelli Lioncino 500 for over 500km back to Sydney. It was a 2021 model with only 1,200km on the ODO that my friend bought for half the price of a new one. He's a new rider, so he entrusted me to ride it home safely, and it was a heap of fun with enough personality to keep me interested for the whole trip back. So, in my limited experience, you can find an interesting generic bike with a badge slapped on the side, but you'll take a bath on it in depreciation if you buy it new.

EV's are better for the environment after they offset the increased emissions from manufacturing. With a car this happens already after about 12.000 miles. Even when the energy grid is "dirty" its still less dirty than your average bike over its lifetime. But if you drive only 20 miles on a Sunday then yes, it is definitely better to just have a normal ICE bike.

I'm not very educated in this area but I thought the main problem was procuring Lithium, not considering the ecological impact of both mining and recycling it, as most of it is mined in places like China and is very limited in quantity compared to oil.
@chicoc8637

Even if you factor that in it is still cleaner. Dont forget that drilling and fracking for oil has major environmental impacts as well. There is dependancy on China for lithium at the moment though. But in way more places in the world it is being procured right now, and the refining and manufacturing is getting cleaner. But new battery tech less dependent on lithium will definitely be better.

Since I have solar panels on my roof that I actually sell power back to the grid it would make since for me to have an EV. Jerry rig every did math on when he would be carbon negative of his rivian if your interested. Other than upfront cost two nurses with kids kind of a struggle these days. But on a motorcycle it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Yes I am a nerd but I do love riding dirt bikes with my kids. Love the videos though.

Unfortunately we won’t get more people to get on bikes in America bc 1. We have a lot of obese people and 2. America is massive, people don’t want to get on a bike and do possibly long rides, Europe everything you could possibly want to go to is within 20 minutes and other countries within a few hours if that

Electric motos have their place. Urban commuters/scooters, and short off road events like trials and motocross in areas with a dense population where tracks get shut down because some Karen bought a house next door and hates noise one day a week. They'll never work for touring or ADV applications. That being said, I'd love a Stark Varg with supermoto wheels made barely street legal. Hooligan machine for sure!

If we get new battery tech and i own a house i can charge at I'll definitely get an EV bike once they are cheap enough. I think the problem arrises when people get the idea "you have to buy an EV" when they may not do what is needed. They have a place, that place is expanding.

You have any idea how disappointed I am being in America and not being able to get my paws on 125cc and 150cc naked bikes that get like 100mpg, look badass, and have an MSRP of around 3k…? Bruh you do the currency conversion for a GSX-S150 and it’s like 2.3k like COME ON.
