TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? | Budget Bike Battle Bavaria

[@RoryMacdonald-pfff]

Every step of the way I’m thinking “this is my fave part of BBB” … online shopping, collection, inspection, willy-waving 1st ride, JHS, game-on antics, race, hangovers, wrap-up/debate. Love it all. ❤

[@ravagerxiii5488]

Willy waving 🤣

[@benh3110]

Don't forget the random fart noises

[@Zx7rKwakasaki]

I reckon this is definitely Fagans best chance of getting another win. The Fireblade is looking good 👊🏻

[@FortyFourTeeth]

This is like watching someone on QVC trying to oversell a boring product which nobody really wants. Regards, Team Yamaha

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Oooo, you're hard. Regards, Team HRC

[@TheRoku7]

🤣🤣🤣

[@martyclakson9226]

I liked the bit where Al described having functioning brakes and swapping a pogo stick for a functioning shock as "the best mods" 🤔🤣 I'm thinking about modding my bike at the weekend- I hear adding air to flat tyres is the best mod you can do 😜 Love you really Al. #teamhrc

[@mpstein1976]

Honda needs to remake that bike. New ones too pricey and too track focused. I want some total control back

[@dancarlos1216]

@@FortyFourTeeth TEAM HRC!

[@springheeledjack81]

Just like those burritos, Fagan looks like he's got this BBB all wrapped up ... And it's always a treat to see the JHS boys on here

[@franklinwilkerson2061]

It's official. 44teeth uploads make my whole day 13.2% better.

[@LambChopRides]

Love both these bikes but you meet the nicest people on a Honda 😁

Not true.....I have a Fireblade.

[@mpstein1976]

I forget how great that bike looks. I miss fat sport bikes. You could cuddle them all the way home on motorway. At least until carb froze

[@ozzyg82]

Chris’ intro gets me every time 😂 - I think you’ve nailed the comically stereotypical Deutschland “De boojit byke battol” 😂

[@FasterFlyer23]

I'm the absolute opposite. Makes me cringe everytime. Great videos despite that

[@gavd6726]

Me too! 🇩🇪 😂

[@kkkjkk641]

​@@FasterFlyer23I think it's supposed to be cringy ;-)

[@paulleggett9735]

Not the same without Boothy. Hope he's doing OK.

[@Chris-tw9po]

Chris is a proven winner but Al is looking good in this BBB. That fireblade looks fantastic. For a Bike that age to still have the stock exhaust..tells me it hasn't been messed with or abused too much.

[@FortyFourTeeth]

"Proven winner" 😂

[@nothanks9050]

It tells me that the fancy can got taken off before sale!

[@apexslider1]

Can’t wait to see the road action kick off! This will be a fun one. Predictable, but fun.

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Trust me, it's not predictable 😂

[@JoshNewby84]

Just our of curiosity, whatever happened with the BBB Re-load series? Did you guys have a trip in mind that got canceled due to travel restrictions? Do you still plan on another adventure with the SRAD & ZX-7 in the future?

[@mikedinni6318]

Why aren't all these named in order? Is it really that hard to put "S6 ep3" at the end of each title?

[@godlyobject6509]

The workshop videos may be my favorite. That said, I'm looking forward to journey!

[@tonupturner]

When’s the next episode? I’ve been furiously checking for the last week 😭

[@alexanderbilling3129]

Blade looks fantastic Al, just an FYI, if it's raining on the ring day don't ride it, I did when I went and there is zero grip, felt like riding on ice.

[@Husabuse]

They’ve already been there with these bikes. 😀

[@SweDownhill]

Chris’s german accent during the intro cracks me up everytime! I love it, and I love BBB 😍😃 Keep the good content coming 👍👌

[@thecrow7]

30 years and still sounds sweet. got to love a Honda ❤

[@stichupman]

Hondas are great bikes and very reliable but I just find they are a bit dull to ride.

[@winklton]

Honda make the best everything, bike’s,cars,boat engines,everything

[@Nomads_Rowing]

But can they make a great burrito 🌯?

[@fyorbane]

[@peterbigblock]

Let’s have the next episode, I must know what that pink and white nightmare did!

[@denyB18]

I've just installed YSS on my 96' Blade and it's completely new bike to ride. Handling is much much better and bike is really stable now.

[@jamest5149]

I wonder if Chris’s YZF is my old one… I did and replaced everything I could but could never cure the misfire… plugs, coils, Ignition module, valve check(s), cards strips, cleans and rebuilds including new slides and diaphragms, second hand cards… nothing cured the misfire… in the end sold it… note I was a youngish motorcycle technician for BMW, Kawasaki, Aprillia etc so had a reasonable idea on what I was doing 😢

[@siraff4461]

I'm team either one. You both got minters this time. It looks like the blade is going to walk it but they are two of my all time favourite bikes so game on.

[@ferrumignis]

Sounds like Perkins' bike is more of a sugar-free polo rather than an extra strong mint.

[@22OLI22]

BBB 🖤 Fair play Al….finally managed to find a noble steed uglier than the SRAD 🤣

[@Yamaprilia]

Jeez how long we gotta wait to see BBB? Im getting desperate now. Hurry up!!! Please x

[@samman59939]

Absolutely love the fireblade!!! It's gotta win no question!!!!

[@hellfire08]

I have a YSS on my R3 and I’ve been very impressed with it. Just ordered another one for my cb300r. Love those shocks

[@stevejones8789]

Where are the other vids on this bike battle? Though you guys had filmed it and done this battle already?

[@NGeese]

Gotta love good-ol Honda reliability. Fingers crossed she stays that way, but this is not surprising to me. My '06 600RR who's had a hard life at the track simply keeps on singing. Honda know more than most when it comes to building something to last. Best of luck Fagan!

[@TrulyUniqueOne]

Except the gearboxes are fukin shite

[@jonofalltradesmasterofnone832]

Just bought the slacker ride height tool based on seeing this as I have no mates! To help me.

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

Can't wait for this. I really appreciated how stoked you were with your improved suspension setup. Giving burritos as a thank you is a champ move.

[@australianmodelrailway]

Is this saga continuing?

[@australianmodelrailway]

@Official_44Teeth an aprilia rs?? 😆

[@ferrumignis]

I'm 100% on team HRC and she's a stunner. The 'Blade is pretty nice as well.

[@flamintasty]

Loving the unsprung weight saving when Bono was drilling that shit out of the discs 😂

[@freakonaleech6730]

Don't think that's what he was at, think he was just clearing out the discs from all the old brake dust/grime to save the calipers getting gummed up again

[@reverendhoover]

That Honda looks luverly! Makes me want to start looking on Autotrader...

[@fishyfool]

Next time remember that aluminum is a great transferrer of heat. wrap your burritos in a paper bag then in a plastic bag and they will stay a lot warmer. Come to California and we'll get you a burrito to die for...

[@greigtona6163]

Can you guys start listing the episodes from the start being EP01. Atm EP01 missies all the good parts at the beginning so trying to share it from the actual start is a pain in the hoop 😂 also the playlist section only has half the episodes listed

[@bazmasterson5567]

No way Statham can lose this 'ain..! That Fireblade's the best machine ever to feature on a BBB.. (OK, maybe apart from the MV)

[@malcellison8831]

This sort of content is brilliant. I just love every aspect of these Budget Bike Battles. Well done 44Teeth 👍

[@kingbee1971]

The dyno sounds reminded me of J Dilla's "Workinonit"

[@chicomaxima1]

So Chris is doing last minute upgrades I think you should do the same thing with the brakes

Finding this interesting. I've the same Blade - year, model, colour scheme. I bloody love them!

[@Nomads_Rowing]

I was hoping for this BBB, you guys would at least set off with some sort of confidence in your hardware after previous questionable purchases but it’s starting to look promising for team HRC whilst team Yam still have a box of failed carbs🥺 Please, can somebody rescue Chris to make this the legendary BBB it could be🙏 😎

[@slip2000]

[@scottmoreland8747]

About time you got a decent one! Also, mega satisfying to see you breeze past all that traffic in the bus lane 😎

Something about 90's and early 2000's bikes that's been lost and now bikes have become sterile and boringly good. Team Yamaha but slightly Honda also.

[@duanedragon2]

These bikes are old enough to be cool again. Full disclosure: I am 50 and grew up with the new CBR900RR. There were a ton of cool bikes from that era that deserve to be rehabilitated and enjoyed. My first bike was a 1992 FZR600. It was hard-edged, cheap, and very fast. Bikes like this one, the GSXR-750, ZX11D, FZR1000, ZX750R, they were all great bikes. Sure, you can buy faster bikes right off the show room floor today but that doesn't mean these bikes are any less good. BTW I ride a Speed Twin on the street and an RC390 on the track. Wish I cold find a nice old CBR600F2 or something else cool to add to the stable.

[@hanscastorp7]

Your channel is, imho, the best bike channel on KZbin. Too sad that you don't have your premiere show in a cinema in Berlin. I would have come. Viele Grüße und Schnitzel from Germany!

[@MJPilote]

I have ridden the sc31 for some amount of kilometers early 2000 and now found a very nice example on auction with broken stator. Nobody wanted to bid on it as it was listed broken so I had to. Black and grey -97 and I still love the bike after 15 years of not driving one. Broke my back in a racing accident and have not dared to ride after that. There is a risk If I have even a minor accident that I wont walk again. But riding again, it’s the best thing in the world you can do with pants on

[@reophonic]

He won't have bought new carbs, Chris would have had a spare set in his loft😉

[@TheWhisky81]

That slacker v4 looks a great bit of kit for setting up your sag, he said there not very expensive, £167 was the cheapest I found, think I'll stick to my £2.99 tape measure and a friend for now.

[@CharlesA_337]

Bikes will never look this cool again.

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Agreed

[@Amory98]

That's why you buy a Honda. 30 years old, still you can think of going accross Europe on it and doing Nurburgring! ❤️ I'd say, that's why you buy Japanese!

[@stripprclipR1]

Shout out from Kentucky! You guys are great. I have the same bike bought back in June. Can you tell me what model YSS shock you are using on it? I can't really get a clear enough view of it in the video to be sure.

[@stripprclipR1]

Smells funny! REAL FUNNY!

[@stripprclipR1]

Yea, just let me give all my personal information to you. If I am wrong, I apologize. Tell me I've won a motorcycle and you need all my information for the shipping company. RIGHT! Is this guy really an African witch doctor? SCAM!!!!!

[@simonthomas5367]

Brilliant stuff! I just fitted a rear YSS to my old Dominator. What a transformation! Best mod for the money. Corners like she’s young again! So impressed I ordered some Hagon springs for the front forks. When will it end……?

[@j200pruf]

Love all the BBB vids, but I have to say my favorite part is always filmed at JHS!

[@industrialkhaos]

IF you have a doubt about the steering head bearings, change them. I want to see Honda and team Al win.

[@ashleylee5445]

That blade is still looking good even by today's standard of quality out there.

[@iancharlton5530]

I’ve been looking at these 900 blades. How good is that it has its own boot.

[@FortyFourTeeth]

That was the clincher for me

[@colinstewart1432]

Handling issues aside, the 'blade's looking sweet.

[@ransomlumberjack7838]

Wish you would have picked up a xx blackbird... don't know what those go for on the other side of the pond? I need to get a yss for my 86 vf1000r

[@nocturnalcadence1676]

A decent-sized boot. 2-3 burrito max. Now the cbr929rr, THATS a boot. 4-5 burritos no problem.

[@spolariton]

Thanks for the video. Would be even better if more of it was in focus 😂

[@Charlies644]

[@paidburglar1384]

i'd love to buy one of them stickers, but first i need to buy a bike lol, good stuff guys

[@ixifutureproof9286]

Taking about suspension adjustment. I think some people should leave them well alone (or get it custom tuned by someone who knows what they're doing). I bought a 2022 sports tourer with 1000 miles on it. Previous owner was a big boy who rode two up. I rode it and it was a soft as my stool after one of those burrito's. Seems that he'd wound front and rear to their softest setting! No wonder he didn't enjoy it.

[@breadturbo]

15:56 that pickup got close to that coffin dodger there :P

[@Jj12915]

That's really a pretty sweet bike. I'd be proud to own it.

[@Kunivaaaa]

My bike is equally old and I am scared to adjust the suspension because I would have no idea what I would be doing and I don't want to make it worse
