Even MOTOGP Racers salutes these ISLE OF MAN TT Riders... !!! 😊👍🏻

Back around 1972 a 900cc Sporty was $1,900.. I bought a 1972 Bonneville instead for $1,400. Should have bought the Sporty.

The 1981 XLX shown is actually an XR1000 and they were rated at 70hp.

Reliability = Affidabilità google translate has no reliability😁

Why did you stop posting,??

Great video, thanks for this! I’m a formula E fan and I’ve just started getting into Moto E. It looks very interesting!

Love your Channel

currently Indians are one of the best looking cruisers and with new line up of smaller engines also the cheapest american made bikes you can get...

Penton made KTM 👍

Good one.

Not the best

I don't need the TT explained to me.

Thanks for giving Formula E a shout-out, while talking about MotoE.

You forgot mv agusta f4 in dark knight

HOW ARE YOU THIS UNDERRATED KZbin WHAT THE FUCK MAN

Only a yuppie can afford Harley's ridiculous prices,most bikers even if they had the money,wouldn't buy this Asian made fraud.

"Tropical" my a$$

Great fun video on their history

No mention of their partnership with Bajaj Auto? Wow.

Manca la 1200S Sport 4 Candele

God I hate these winglets ugliest thing on a bike.

Except for the "metric numbers" for weight, fuel capacity, etc. I enjoyed this video-retrospective on the Sportster. My favorite has always been the 1978 XLCR 1000. The XR1200 is a close second and I'd gladly take either one!

I love the classic MV Agusta's.

Did he just say Robert *PATERSON*?

I believe any whip or scrub is beneficial to the rider rather than just jumping and coasting or just free riding. When you go on a trampoline or go run and jump, ride a BMX or simply run down a set of stairs and jump the last couple . Do this, example. Run down a set of stairs and then the last 4-5 just jump in the air and don’t move your body at all just jump up and like a tooth pick hold in the air and land on your feet. Okay now do that again but this time when you jump bring your legs up and bend your knees and then prepare for you landing. When your in the air and you move least way possible your not only allowing for air resistance to do its thing and slow you down but you also cut thru the air as a brick wall. . Same reason why it’s harder to do a back flip without tucking your knees in. Then the landing, when your on a bike the shock and initial part when your bike meets the ground the force is going yo be much stronger cause the whole bike absorbed the landing. When you “whip” not only do you cut thru the air and cause less resistance allowing you to move a lot faster , but the momentum of your body shifting from up and down or back and forth pushes the weight foward and back down allowing you to get up in the air over your gap and then cut back down as quickly as possibly. Then it helps when you are moving consistent in the air gaining control over the bike so the second you land the shock that’s absorbed is not all distributed in equal parts but is spread out in sections . That’s why you see some riders like more beginners who ramp and don’t whip or move at all in big jumps soon as they land they hit flat on the bike goes down kinda flat and the riders feet slip out and when the bike springs back up it throws the rider off. When they move and try to gain more control when they land usually they land but then they get tossed around and have to fight control usually one leg or arm is thrown off as the body fights it to gain control. Once you master this you don’t just stop with momentum and force , but that cutting thru the air and going up and down as fast as can be, we’ll soon as you land all that shock and energy absorbed your bike, you can see them, the tire will kick sideways and the more pro riders will almost drift sometimes cause they know how to ride and soon as they land they take completely off and they are gone. I’d argue the whip done correctly , vs someone who does not whip. Would be seriously a huge factor in who won. My money on the guy whipping. So much so I’d almost bet his time would be cut down so drastically the person not whipping would realize how much of an advantage and would immediately pick up on it to try and catch back up.

I've seen the Batpod up close, it was in the Pedersen museum. The engine is under the rider in the middle, not at the wheels.

Had a motorcyclist scream at me today I about ran him off the road, I have always been a safe driver since I was 16( now 65) no tickets and actually drive a school bus over 30 years. I honestly did not see this man. 🥹

I am 54 and recently just decided I wanted to ride again after about 30 years. I just bought a Yamaha R3 which is been delivered tomorrow and I am super excited and nervous as well but when I saw Shia at the end saying DO IT I got goosebumps. This is going to be an adventure! Love your chanel bro

"No matter how you throw me I land on my feet"

Just found this channel, good stuff.I happen to agree with these descriptions of the bikes mentioned as they are spot on.Went ahead and prescribed.👋💀

While you are all arguing over this bike is better than that one. I will be putting miles on my sporty, Pan America , KLR and my V Star 1100. Have a good time comlpaining guys

Still dont know how its done.... vague explanation

I am a genxer who just bought my first motorcycle and I did not consider buying a Harley Davidson for a single moment.

HD should give everyone over 70 thats been riding Harleys for at least 55 years.

Ever paid $400.00 for an oil change? I have. No kiss, not even a reach around.

I love LOVE MY FTR

You have no idea WTH you're talking about. AMF updated everything in a company that had basically stopped development when their main competitor (Indian) shut down in 1953. AMF paid for updating everything, making electric starters and disc brakes on all models, same w/ electronic ignition. They developed the Evo motor, 5 speed transmission, rubbermount frames, increased engine size on everything, made the necessary changes to run unleaded fuel and meet new stricter emissions and noise regulations. Oh yeah, also paid for and did did the R+D on the Softail platform, still one of the company's biggest sellers. The problem was the lazy ass union workers who were not happy about streamlining the assembly line and setting quotas, like every other modern manufacturer at the time. Don't speak to what you obviously don't know.

You did clearly not understand whips. Bar turn not even mentioned.

Now it turned against its core custmers it's better off bankrupt than defiling the US by existing. I support INDEPENDENT shops and mechanics who end up keeping every make on the road after their factories lose interest.

Slingshot

This is crazy, the video starts saying it’s about Americas greatest motorcycle brand but this isn’t about Harley

RIP H-D. The Commie Kraut and the Board that hired him have killed it.

harleys are trash i own and ride a jap bike

I rode a 1978 AMF FXE Harley for 3 years. I got sick of the breakdowns and got myself a 1986 FXR and 38 years later I desire nothing else.

they’ve had the same set of buyers for 40 years. young riders can’t afford hd and don’t want them. They keep selling the same product to the same guys ( who are aging out) They haven’t the quality, performance, value if other brands. Guess who’s doing well… Royal Enfield. Good bikes, anyone can afford them, good looking everyday useful bikes. I have an electra glide but ride my yamaha super tenere, 85 bmw, 72 guzzi far more. why? because they’re better bikes if you don’t want costume jewelry for a biker cosplay fantasy.

Great documentary on the Indian motorcycles

Harley PEDO davidson

All the small old school dealerships are long gone now dealerships are like a womans cloth shop at the mall.

Say what you want about AMF saved H-D from going the way of Indian. My 72 FLH is my best running bike it AMF but I did a frame up restoration on it in 1988 and do my own work.

They went woke boycott Harley . Go woke go broke
