Big Surprise!? Top 5 Motorcycles of 2022. And the ones that nearly made it. Who gets the top spot?

[@sinkieclan6403]

If you didn’t have the Low Rider S as your #1 I would be surprised after your review of it. In fact, it was your review that ultimately led to me getting that bike and I think it’s an incredible motorcycle. Love the bronze wheels and wish they used that color to accent some other things. The last real Harley!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@billyfinch7341]

I purchased one myself, awesome motorcycle

[@romeldias]

So glad to see a list without every single bike being a 100 BHP monster and such attention to aesthetics as well! I do hope manufacturers start paying attention to the basic stuff and getting the bikes right

[@EvanWilliams86]

"It really is enough, for real riding, in real conditions, in the real world." This is why I like this channel so much. Reviews on bikes based on practical, common conditions. People think if you don't buy 200 hp bikes you're wasting money, and pretend they're some outlaws running 150 in traffic. Meanwhile they're missing out on some cool bikes because they won't buy a bike unless the specs will impress their friends. It's a numbers pissing contest for them. I like to RIDE, bikes with soul and character, and this channel does a good job of highlighting bikes with that.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. Yes indeed 💯

[@omarsalgado9715]

Usually the people who complain that a bike doesn't have 100+ hp are the ones that fully roll the throttle on straights, but are slow as a turtle in curves. That is on public roads. On the other hand, really good riders squeeze the most of their bikes on racetracks and don't care about what others ride.

[@timsnaden8937]

Wow 2 Royal Enfields in the list, dead happy with my interceptor

[@dombower]

Merry Xmas. Thanks for uploading some content on Xmas day for us to avoid all the usual Christmas crap tv!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Merry Christmas, gotta keep you all entertained!

[@barriewilliams4526]

At the age of 85 & being only 5' 6" in height I had reached a point where big heavy bikes were getting too much, it's not the riding, but the pushing it around the drive etc. I opted for a Yamaha MT-03. It's cheap as chips to buy, gets the job done with no fuss or drama, sips fuel, + Yamaha reliability. Engine Type: 321cc, liquid-cooled DOHC inline 2-cylinder; 8 valves. Horsepower: 50 HP. Torque: 24 lb-ft. Wet Weight: 370 lbs (168 kg) Seat Height: 30.7 inches (780 mm)

[@garydixon6947]

I was happy to see Royal Enfield make the list twice. I own a Himalayan, and it has been the most fun bike I have ever ridden, with the ability to go anywhere.

[@rohintonmistry1314]

The interceptor 650 was truly a surprise. I own one and am quite impressed with it. Bare minimum is what I like, no unwanted electronic gimmicks.

[@filipesabido5475]

I was not expecting the bikes you elected to be your top 5 Motorcycles of 2022 however the biggest surprise was seeing a Paula Rego painting in Darcy's room. Well done showing that motorcycle guys are not uncultured barbaric people. 👍 Merry Christmas to you all 🙏

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Merry Christmas buddy! My girlfriend works in an art gallery which is their family business so I have been subjected to some incredible art!

[@splodge57]

Just been to the Cezanne exhibition at the Tate modern in London. Fantastic. Better than walking round the local bike shop.

[@GrumpySalmon]

Thank you both for all the great videos in 2022 🎉

[@beera802]

The reviews are on point, sir. I own an interceptor and seeing it on the list makes me happy. And I do agree with you on the different chrome they used on the silencer and the engine which makes it look a little out of place. its still remains a solid solid bike.

[@recoilrob324]

My only complaint about how the Interceptor's look is the color mismatch between tank and side covers...IMHO should be the same, but I understand why they only offer black covers due to costs. So my Interceptor is the MKIII all black which really looks nice...like basic black with a single strand of pearls kind of classic. :) With an abundant aftermarket supplying exhaust, cam and tuner it's around 60 horses now and I want no more in this kind of bike. It's enough power to surprise the Harley guys who think they can abuse it off of the stoplights and still easily breaks 70 mpg's on the US gallon. Brilliant!

[@cezarmartins3489]

One of the best channels I've discovered this year. Keep up the great work, gents.

[@dombower]

Will be interested to see some RE bikes with good sounding aftermarket exhaust!

[@rockyescape8989]

in my country it's very rare to see young people preferring the ride modern classics. so i appreciate channels like yours and freddie's, it's like that little corner of youtube where i can relate to with ease. im a younger rider and my top pick is the chrome Thruxton RS with the cafe racer fairing.

[@repetitivemotion]

I was shocked at these selections but then I realized that these choices are influenced by where you live. Where I live most of these bikes will get you run over by an SUV or large pickup truck. Large displacement V-Twins are most common in Illinois and Wisconsin, whether for interstate travel or backroad adventure. Speaking of adventure my favorite bike is the Suzuki VStrom 1000. Big and powerful enough to pass anything on the Highway yet light enough to be nimble and quick around the corners, all the while crushing road imperfections with ease. Doesn’t break the bank either. However, it’s not nearly as beautiful as the bikes that you’ve selected. Good job sirs.

[@skotty1962]

Well that's interesting. Im about to turn 60 and I just bought a Hunter as my "returning rider" bike. Test rode it based on your and others reviews and loved it. Thanks.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Awesome 👍🏼

[@MarkymarkCU]

Hi guys My first comment but long time fan! Like your reviews & your no BS attitude. Also a fan of the life's up and down, messages... Happy Christmas and enjoy your ride.

Good balanced choice. Royal Enfield certainly making headways

[@timvanbaelen9738]

So from now on I only watch the first minute so then one day you guys show up knocking on my door and I can finally meet you .... looking forward to it, coffee and thee will be ready 🙂 Merry Christmas to all 🎄

[@felipedourado5721]

Keep doing the good job guys. Your videos are always informative but they also have that biker's point of view "flavor" preserved, which is one of the reasons that make them so good to watch. I mean, watching your videos feels like we are listening to close motorcycling buddies of ours. There are no retoric frills, nor an overwhelming avalanche of technical data and, on the other hand, there are plenty of feedback about how the tested bikes feel as they are ridden. And you are capable of showing your personal tastes and subjective takes on the bikes tested without sounding silly biased and whithout being offensive. Such balance is very difficult to achieve, it takes talent to do that. And there is always that excellent and slightly ironic sense of humor! Brilliant, I must say! Hope O'l Man's knee is mending as best and as fast as possible. Happy new year, all the best from Brazil. ✌

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. Much appreciated. 👍🏼👍🏼Check out our BSA review tomorrow!

[@martynissitt2693]

I cannot express how much my Interceptor 650 ticks every box for me, after having 23 bikes of various types since a passed my test, I find my RE does everything I want of a motorcycle,and for a realistic real people price.

[@rickparkinmoto]

Good to see there's something for all budgets in your lineup, and all of them are real-world machines, as opposed to impractical track-day missiles that some other channels obsess over. Merry Xmas to you and yours!

[@frenchenstein]

I agree; they leave cold 😕

[@vishalgkawale1546]

47 Bhp 52 nm of Torque, and easy on the pocket. Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 is a quintessential machine to explore dusky destinations.

Happy Christmas both and big thanks for all the entertainment in 2022

And to you 👍🏼

[@wahiba]

Save yourself some money. RE Meteor 350 best back roads cruiser. Great on the road and great on the back too! 90 mpg and lower road tax. Like the less is more bit, totally agree. Beeline navigator, better than tripper but less hassle on a bike than regular sat nav.

[@williamnethercott4364]

Merry Christmas! Good choices. "Less is more" - How right you are! No bells or whistles on my old AJS nor on the Triumph I had years ago and all the better for it. The only thing I would consider adding would be direction indicators but I'm not likely to do it.

[@rover100bunson]

i bought a rocker red gt650, agree about the riding position, so I installed the risers from cooperb motorcycles which brings the clipons above the top yoke, wow what a difference, i would ride it anywhere now, RE should offer a choice of clipons to suit

[@robbyclark6915]

Awesome video! The mighty Harley Davidson taking first place! I have the 114 version and it’s a complete blast to ride already! I will eventually put a cam in it and get even more of that delicious low down torque that we all love. Didn’t expect so many entries from RE but it’s a testament to what they are doing there. I agree completely with you about, less is more. My 29 year old son would agree completely with that statement as his favorite bike was an old school Harley Davidson. That’s actually what he rode, a 94 sportster. Sadly he was taken from us this past November 29th when he rode his last ride on his beloved sportster. A 79 year old woman pulled out right in front of him and he was killed almost instantly. He was wearing his helmet but it came off on impact with the driver door and he was thrown from the bike. I had dreamt of his death twice in the past 3 months as so it was to be. Strange. Witnesses who got to him immediately said there was no pulse and he just looked like a handsome young man laying there asleep. I’m so thankful he didn’t suffer and got to go out “with his boots on” as the saying goes. He would love that! Sorry if I’m being a downer, I don’t mean to, I just miss him more than life itself. Sometimes I can hardly breathe. He left behind a beautiful 6 year old daughter that I’m going to spoil rotten. I changed my YT profile picture to a pic of the both of them together. Til I see you again my boy, my son, my Joshua Clark. I can’t believe my son is gone. 😭

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Oh man we’re so sorry to hear that. That is so very sad. Spoil that lovely girl rotten and give her a hug from us brother 🙏

I have an Intercepter 650 and love it. I have been considering a Classic 350 in Signal Gray color way. Why the 350? I don’t know. I just love the bike! Every few years, I buy a Harley but then after moving them around the garage a for a year or so, I get rid of them. I also find them to be fatiguing on extended rides. (Just my opinion, of course…..) Happy Christmas to you and yours! JMS Austin, TX USA

[@billyfinch7341]

Coincidently I purchased a Lowrider S shortly after your testing of the aforementioned motorcycle, trying my best not to be biased, it is the best bike on the planet , Merry Christmas

[@willgarrod9907]

Good choices all round, real kudos to Royal Enfield for getting 2 bikes in you list.

[@TheArtdecovampire]

Proper bikes, with character. I know people will say agricultural, but as they whizz past me, absorbed by their performance bubble I probably won't notice them as I'll be soaking up a broader experience. Great choices, great channel, so glad I subscribed.

[@evanheisler7899]

This is my first time commenting. Just a comment on the Speedmaster runner up. I bought one some time ago when they were newly released. Two things bothered me with the bike. One was the problem with scraping the foot pegs. It didn't take much to scrape. Secondly, my gears clunked quite a bit which took away the riding pleasure for me. After a while I decided to get rid of the Triumph. In it's place I bought a Royal Enfield 500 Classic Bullet, a Royal Enfield Interceptor and a Royal Enfield Scram. I bought these three Royal Enfield for close to what I spent on the Triumph. Three bikes for the cost of one. I love my Enfields. You can't get the smile off my face. Thanks for your reviews throughout the year. Keep up the good work. Merry Xmas from Australia.

[@abdaalahmad5483]

The old man roasting Adventure bikes on a lighter note in almost every video needs to be a compilation xD.

I agree they are mostly ugly things. Cant stand the "beaks". There are a few exceptions though. (Xcape, Tenere etc).

My top bikes of 2022 - ok I know a lot of them are bikes I already own. 1. BMW S1000RR M package (K67 model) Still the pinnacle of sports bikes for me. Not liking the look of the new model though. (I have a 2021 model) 2. Ducati Panigale V2 Troy Bayliss. What a beautiful exhilarating toy to play with - bought a new one in January 2022. 3. Triumph Thruxton RS Chrome edition - thinking of trading in my 2016 Thruxton R for one in 2023 if I don't buy number 4 on this list. 4. BMW R9T - not the pure (too basic) or one of those crazy scrambler models - just the mainstream R9T with the comfort package. This bike now has a lot of goodies available on it so its not the bare bones bike it used to be. Another possible 2023 purchase but I will be keeping my 2016 Thruxton R too in that case. 5. It still has to be my own 2005 Kawasaki ZXR 1200R in that beautiful metallic green. I have looked at many classic bikes but this one still is my favourite. No rider aids whatsoever just a big brute of a bike. Reminds me of my police motorcycle riding days.

The Scrambler 1200 is such a beautiful bike. Harley finally nailed it with the 117. The Interceptor 650 looks to be a perfect, no nonsense option.

Honda Super cub anyone? I stepped up to the Super Cub from a BMW 1600 GT. The BMWs did not make your list but then I can understand why, too much technology, very expensive and all that Tupperware. Loved your video.

[@adriamillasluque]

This ranking has a really hand's on approach to coming up with conclusions and it also has a neutral vibe -- although still passionate. I really like that H-D comes on top for you guys, because you barely ever see Milwaukee's efforts recognized by people who do not understand what that bike is made for. On top of that, the fact that the mechanic simplicity and reliability of Royal Enfield come up twice is also a sign that Mr. Darcy & the Ol' Man are not looking for their audience to empty their pocket, but to enjoy motorcycling understood as a liberating experience that is meant for everyone's budget. Here's to your channel and to you making a decent living out of your great contribution to me and to all of us.

[@Under-the-Helmet]

Merry Christmas Guys! I've enjoyed the time watching your channel and always look forward to the next video. Like others, I was surprised at some of the choices. After some time thinking about it, your choices make bold statements. Royal Enfield and Triumph have worked very hard to improve and modernize their brands, so they deserve some recognition indeed. The Honda choice was based on pure enjoyment I'm certain. It has to be a blast to ride and the face would hurt for giggling. The HD is my only disagreement. In the US we are so overly saturated with the brand and the mindset of SOME HD riders that they become a turn off. Added note, prices are ridicules and your mainly paying for the brand name. (HD riders start complaining now because I know it's coming.) Ol' Man I must check in on the knee status and healing progress. It's a long road, but we'll see you back on a bike soon I know it. Bracing you knee will become another item in your riding safety gear Your BMW misses you. You guys are doing great with the content considering the injury so ignore the idiotic comments from some and keep the pace. As always, shake Darcy"s hand for me and I'll see you both on the road soon. R18 in the USA.

Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 (the coolest looking 8000 euros price bike new), a similar bike Harley should try to do too for their future lineup.

And these are only few of their advantages....

[@FTStratLP]

Hm, two Royal Enfields - expensive?? 🤔

[@heleti0000]

Sadly, advances in technology benefit the workshops and spares departments far more than the rider. Worked with and rode single cylinder air-cooled bikes for years on the road and in the bush and never had any issues that couldn’t be fixed with a minimal toolkit and cheap, readily available spares. Now, every little “glitch” usually requires an expensive trip to the Dealer to get fixed (on the back of a tow-truck). Thats why I now ride a Royal Enfield. Even the specialist mechanic that looks after our two relatively new “foreign” cars impresses on me that the next “new” car I buy needs to be at least 25 years old if I don’t want to spend more on repairs and servicing than the actual cost of the vehicle. And all to satisfy the agenda of the seriously delusional / misled “climate change warriors” and the financial “wizards” of the vehicle manufacturers.

[@Tubespoet]

Good choices, obviously everyone is different and so your choice is unique but any of those bikes would be welcome in my garage.

[@roygardiner2229]

Thank you very much for another interesting video. On balance, I think I would select for myself the Royal Enfield Classic 350. It ticks so many boxes.

[@jimmymac9388]

That's a decent top 5.What I would say about the Interceptor being an owner is you need to change that standard seat which is like a plank of wood.Its seat is slightly on the high side and me with my 30 inch inseam can't flat foot it.There are shorter rear shocks you can get to reduce the seat height.Merry Xmas and a happy new year.
