I still don't understand how this channel doesn't have MILLIONS of subscribers

[@bikermike_mars1372]

It’s not even that. I’m surprised the channel doesn’t have even a steady gradual growth.

[@maguslascivious4980]

Even more amazing when that DBag yammie has over 1m...

[@riderzinc]

I know, considering the high level of content they put out

[@franklinwilkerson2061]

I've said this before that I think all the many gay jokes and innuendos can be off-putting and even offensive to a lot of motorcycle enthusiasts. Can you name even one openly gay rider in any national or international championship? Fabio is about as close as we get.

[@richandiben]

It's because they're fucking childish. Doesn't bother me but I know people who won't watch because of it.

[@adamn5803]

Can you just let Al win the next one, he’s getting proper eggy

[@garymills1508]

I’d be eggy too with Chris never being wrong 😂

[@CrazyPanda688]

The blade clearly won though 😂

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

haha yes chris is just one of those people burdened with a complete inability to admit defeat.

[@davidhardstaff8110]

He did win

[@benkelly2190]

Clearly a panel of judges need here!

[@Brodizzzle]

You guys really need to have Boothy or someone be a third party judge.

[@jediknight129]

boothy on an r7 would have completed the set

[@hstefan]

@@jediknight129 the period correct OW-02 R7 is unobtainium budget wise and alsso Boothy has that pirate thing going on. :( Hope to see him soon riding bikes with these two, really enjoyed his presence on the channel.

I support future BBB's to still be released in parts! This way you get more revenue to make more content, and our enjoyment lasts longer. I'd rather have six 25min episodes rather than one 1h episode.

[@FortyFourTeeth]

I think you misunderstood - we meant shoot the whole lot and roll out as usual in episodes but avoid the big gaps in prepping, leaving and end product. Basically condense the whole process rather than months of lag

[@Surestick88]

​@@FortyFourTeeth I would avoid cutting into the finding the problems and fixing them episodes. Those are some of the best parts and are integral given that it's a _budget_ bike battle.

[@jackiechan5626]

@@Surestick88 Agreed. It’s arguably the most important part of a BBB, and thanks to the JHS boys, absolutely one of the most entertaining.

[@RDYmoto]

@@FortyFourTeeth less lag between the vag

[@ArthurSperotto]

@@FortyFourTeeth Thank you!

[@adamryan1753]

You always say thank you to us for watching and coming to BBB at the cinema etc - but seriously thank you guys for creating the best show on two wheels hands down! I dabble with youtube and can only imagine how much effort must go into this! Still can't believe some of the tripe channels out there that have so many more followers...?!?!? 44 Teeth FTW! See you next time, keep it up Baron & Fagan!

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Thanks 👊🏼

[@danj9339]

Came to say the same. You guys are awesome. There's no biking channel on here that comes close. This was an awesome BBB. Loved every moment!

[@edxr250r]

I'll take the Fireblade every day of the week and twice on Sundays thanks. Loved all the footage, great to see what two sub £3k bikes can still do, both look great and so much fun. Al takes the win 👍👍

[@Vtwin_Superbikes]

Cheers lads. Looking forward to seeing Boothmeister back too.

[@BigbubbaJ1000]

I’m 58 and you two make me laugh like a girl with your antics. Brilliant

[@MrArrrJay]

You know things are getting serious when you hear "but Alastair". It's like when a mother uses your full name when she wants you to clean your room.

[@gavd6726]

Thank you 44 Teeth for bringing bikes, laughter and cool-as-f*ckery to the masses. THE best bike channel on KZbin. May you reign for years to come.... 🏍️🙌🏼

[@chestnut250]

I always look forward to a new 44Teeth video! Love these guys!

[@dozer877]

44teeth is a true KZbin goldmine of content. They deserve a lot more attention

[@CycleHunters]

The Honda is by far the clear winner. I understand the love for the Yamaha, but for a bike challenge like this, love isn't a factor.

[@SweDownhill]

The disagreements had me worried for a bit, but then a phone call was made and it immediately felt better. 😍😃🙏 Keep having fun while you make these videos, that’s what shines through to us viewers and brings a smile to our faces too. I really appreciate all the hard work you do! Thanks for sharing 🤩🥂🏆

[@simonhenry4680]

Agreed...they both got proper eggy

[@ozzyg82]

I think the vote should go to the audience - you make your case, state the facts etc. and then put it up for a public vote. Done. At the end of the day, we’re the winners - thanks for a great series! Edit: I see you already did this at the cinema. Well, the public have spoken. Accept Alistair and move on…

[@powereire]

Everyone will vote for Chris because he is a lovely man

[@AdamBrowne-eg1eb]

I’m guessing you may have considered this, voting a winner could be done via sticker sales for each team. I’d pay to vote, I’m sure many others would too. It could at least be factored into the decision. Absolutely loved this one, i didn’t miss the drinking one bit. Best bike content on KZbin by a mile. Looking forward to the next one!! 😎

[@LushmanGB]

There is only way to solve this THUNDERDOME!

[@cgseguin]

Another banger! One of the best series out there.

[@CrazyPanda688]

The blade is the obvious winner here, from it actually working from the very beginning, and throughout the entire trip. Nobody minds replacing a shock, or upgrading the brake lines and pads, they’re wear and tear parts. What people don’t want is a bike that doesn’t run and has a mysterious problem requiring extensive diagnostics That’s ultimately what you want from a bike. Something that works, and something that can be reliable and depended upon. Even on the trip the Yam broke down. Even when people are on a budget, they’re going to look for something with the least amount of mechanical issues, even if it means paying a little more. Nobody wants a bike sat in the garage or the shed for weeks that doesn’t run at all and needs a million things checking and replacing. And who else actually has their own personal garage that helps them out with diagnostics and replacing bits, complete with a rolling road lol

[@jimstartup2729]

Depends on circumstances. Have bought plenty of old vehicles in my life that had some kind of "mystery issue" that basically made the owner just get shot of it, super cheap. Most times it was not a costly fix at all.. worn ball joint or split plastic hose or something. Sometimes it's worth the gamble. Bought a mates old non running zxr750l2 for about 500 spondoolies (was running before being laid up in a garage). Just needed a bit of tlc to get it back to the world of the living, and the fact it owes me so little makes it damn hard to get rid of. The main difficulty now seemed to be getting parts for it

[@mociczyczki]

cbr should accelerate quicker 🤷🏻‍♂️ 120-125 hp 223 kg yzf vs 130 hp 200 kg cbr really yzfr is quicker ? i dont think so 👌🏻 yzfr and its shorter gearing is irrelevsnt for max acceleration if it have shorter gearing 🤭 something is not right with this cbr if it accelerate slower 🤭 👌🏻

[@AdmV0rl0n]

1. Less pink. 2. Less bickering. 3. Find a judge or adjudicator 4. Less budget for the bike. 5. Bigger budget for some fixes. 6. Superbikes, rinse, repeat. How about some other bike types.

[@ReferenceFidelityComponents]

Blade has it. Better bike bar the brakes. Not that I’m biased having had an identical one 22 years ago😂. Chris…. You need better glasses, honestly. The YZF isn’t a “ touring bike”.😂. Surprised there wasn’t a punch up after the beers…that went spicy a bit quickly. 😮

[@tobysemler]

Guy, please accept this constructive criticism. These have lost the humour of the first couple, it's getting a tiny bit stale. Maybe mix things up, freshen things up a bit. Next BBB with the two cheapest Harley Davidsons in England would be a refreshing change of direction. BTW, Blade ALL the way!

[@CAVEY2575]

The answer is simple.....public vote. Should have had a ballot at the cinema screenings.

[@tonyhobson9677]

OMG! Have always loved the BBB series, but the end of series bickering is unbearable

[@froedlmetallmann4643]

3:28 And they start assembling them weeks before Oktoberfest starts. It's like building a small US town in the summer, and tearing it down two weeks later.

[@papasmurf159]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIiWan97hpKUi6M Was watching this Matt Lucas and David Walliams Video and somehow was reminded of this 44 teeth vid, not sure why ?

[@Kombiburner]

As a Ducati rider, I'd consider myself a neutral observer. So: the Fireblade won, because, let's be honest, it just looks better and aged way better. 😉😘 But that's just my opinion. Everybody to their own. How boring would it be if everybody would like the same bikes?

[@Mountain_Bike_Archaeology]

Yamaha guy all my days, had a 94 750R in 96 and a 94 'Blade in 97, best days on a bike were on that YZF. Swear that CBR just wanted me dead. Still, Fagan has this BBB, even though my rose tints, are all Yammy, the 'blade won this one, Barrony!

[@TheScortUK]

Worth its weight in spunk..... gonna use that comment as much as possible now!

[@NSR500V4]

The bickering is becoming very old and boring. What happened to the chemistry that used to be there

[@making_randoms]

I'd give it to the Yamaha, just because Al acts like a petulant child who can't get his own way

[@tedfordshire89]

Blade won hands down

[@kash6576]

Its got a bit too much with the moody arsed unfunny arguing guys. Shame.

Im relatively new to this channel,but im watching everything now.i think its the best thing on,its exactly how me and my mates behave and speak to each other.and to say i can feel the deep moist love for the bikes would be a massive understatement.you guys remind me how cool it is to be a motorcyclist and that all bikes have their merits.keep it up!!

[@sr43ezh]

have fun going through the old budget bike battles. it's propper fun and entertainment. you won't regret it. :D

[@siraff4461]

I like either one but (predictably) the blade was the clear winner. Budget? The YZF still needs a few hundred quid of tank to make it whole and then its still going to sell for much less anyway even after spending more on it. By the time they are sold the blade is going to have cost considerably less. The suspension test was just daft and they are both pretty adjustable so thats a wash. Then there's performance. Even completely stock blades that shape are good for late 160's on a runway and they have the gearing (if not the power) to run a fair bit more with enough space too. Its a good 5-8mph quicker than the YZF even with the YZF having a can on. Its also lighter, sharper handling and generally just better in pretty almost every way. The YZF may win the 90's cool contest - infact it would get my vote - but there's no getting away from the fact it got its a55 handed to it this time. Maybe next time grab some better data on the performance and handling sides? A best of three dyno run, airfield run and lap of a track would be good. Preferably with an independent rider and some real data logging. Slipstreaming in traffic on a road isn't really a level test.

[@CrazyPanda688]

I laughed when Chris says “you could have got in my slipstream” to achieve a higher top speed Like the yam would even be able to go fast enough for Al to make use of the slipstream 😂 The fact the yam needed slipstream to go faster, shows that it just isn’t faster lol

[@siraff4461]

@@CrazyPanda688 They never were. The blade just makes more power everywhere and a lot more the further down the rpm range they go. Its also lighter and has a smaller frontal area. 161 is about right for a YZF and 168 about right for a blade when they're stock. Of course that YZF seems to be on shorter gearing and a can (which doesn't usually help an early exup bike) so its amazing it got to that number and probably only did because of Al being a drag queen. Honestly with the cost of the tank aswell the blade could have had a full system, jet kit and filter - and another 15hp or so.

[@johngarrity6942]

Can not wit for the next one!👍🏍🏍👍

[@richardholmes4109]

To be honest I could've foregone the bikes in this episode and just watched you guys get rat arsed for 30 mins 🤪

It would have to be the KLR650 vs DR650. Please make this happen 🤣

Budget bike battle is by far the best programme available for bikers, thank you guys. To help I have just purchased some merch to help out the channel. P.s. I would be happy to pay for an extended cut if available and I am sure that many other people would also

[@jamielercier]

Gotta give this to Chris. Love the bike

[@adamlanglois563]

Both bikes are great value for the coin. If ever there was a draw, this is it.

[@walter660]

Christ that was painful to watch

[@brookdyson8688]

Al gets so angry

[@garymcbrearty5845]

No , it's never a draw. When a 750 goes equally head to head with a blade and isn't beaten by a clear margin by the bigger bike, IT WINS (well excluding the colour choice)

[@CrazyPanda688]

The clear margin was that the blade worked from the very start and worked throughout the whole trip That’s the bottom line. When you buy a budget bike, you still look for something that is as mechanically sound as your budget will allow. You don’t mind replacing a shock, or replacing some brake lines if the engine is good and the bike runs well, that’s wear and tear You don’t buy a second hand vehicle to be “surprised” that it still works. And the Yam didn’t even work, so obviously it costs almost nothing to buy, because it didn’t work, and it still broke down on the trip 😂

[@TumzDK]

Like this for team Honda

[@neal207]

The Yamaha just looks the part! Enjoyed the series.

[@tiiimmmaaayyyy3616]

Fagan is so easy to wind up!

[@tonebonetones]

Hmmm, I think Chris played a canny diplomatic 'ace' there, gifting Al the draw lol. .I think the Yamaha edged it, mainly due to its superior Nurburgring outing, and it would otherwise have been yet another win for the Baron.

[@Intersteve1]

Absolute gold. You two make my day. My misses thinks I have lost it when I sit there howling when I watch your vids. The fart is always the classic and the wife just doesn’t get it!!! This channel should have far more subscribers based on the brilliant content. Let’s face it, all men no matter how old never grow up and this channel has everything for the motorbike mad child🤣. Keep it coming👍👍👍🤣

[@Keith24GB]

Owned a 97 Fireblade for over 17 year’s, only the regulator/rectifier broke in all that time. The thing is bulletproof, even rode it down to The Gambia (West Africa). It’s the clear winner for me.

[@vanduc996]

Clear win for the Blade imo, given how much faffing about the Yam required both before and during the trip The Yam definitely has the early nineties cool factor going for it, but as a bike to own the Blade takes it by a mile as well. Another great BBB series overall, thx Lads

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

yes just look at that fireblade, clearly a winner

[@woooster17]

The ‘who won’ debates get more and more salty with every BBB 😂 I have a ‘99 Blade, but I was team pink.. soz Honda 🤙🏽😁 Boys, this is hands down the best Motorcycling content out there… Just don’t do a Practical Sportbikes magazine on us, and disappear. We need more of this brilliant content! 👏🏼

[@philmccaul4699]

Been reflecting on how many '000's I could have saved from buying new bikes if I'd stuck with my blade from 20 odd years ago. Victory to the Honda!

It's BBB - Budget Bike Bickering ! Great outing boys. Both winners. Why not set a challenge next time whereby you pick each others bikes? Now THAT would be challenging! ^^44T^^

[@freq18hz]

hey Chris, your team Pinky party broadcast...that is some amazing voice over work, extremely professional. No sarcasm, if you can read copy with that kind of emotion and that voice you could do that professionally. Maybe you already do that and this is no revelation, but keep up the great work!

[@ianwarren8316]

Team CBR the clear winner! £2,300 + how much spent on fixing it, honestly now! Lost the suspension challenge! Ring you won! Autobahn you lost to the CBR! End of!

[@alienbikerbootz]

Neither bike had a catastrophic failure, but the Yam was cheaper, faster ,and pink so hmmm Love that Blade though, looks really cool. Al is just a winner by nature so he's never going to accept defeat.

[@leeelliott8611]

I think if the fireblade had more 90s leary colour scheme then it would av been more appealing to everyone, ie if it was in urban tiger colours, although it would still b the exup for me, lllllllloved it guys, thank you

[@WestCoastVisitor]

Sorry but this BBB series was not for me, I skipped through 90% of it. Bring back the days of the less produced, less playing to the camera/contrived BBB, where things just interestingly and hilariously just happened. The SRAD v ZX-7R one in particular is for me one of the best. They hit the road, after lengthy prep-work, and just filmed how it went. Al and Chris putting on their oversuits is KZbin gold (kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4aZi4V7r5h-etk) .It seemed that this latest one was aimed at a wider audience but for me it lost the magic along the way.

[@SatansSpatula]

This YZF750 nonsense is silly. If you want to compete with the Fireblade, you need a '97 "Chunderace" YZF1000R, or a '98 YZF1000R1.

[@astrostrotch]

So next year how about a tie break if it's even on points. 10 pints each, followed by Chicken Phall. Following morning a farting competition judged by a third party. Criteria being, power, duration, wetness, aroma, definition and accidents. Surely that's better than bickering for 10 minutes. I'd pay to witness that lol.

[@ianmurray3820]

Better acceleration ( shorter gearing ) and better top speed..??? I think Al has lost it.. no mention of his previous GSXR debaucle.. however in the real world and especially with classics, - you want the most complete bike in the best condition for the money you have, if you added workshop time and scouring the net for bits to your budgets, a lot of these tests would have very different out comes..!!! Sooo?? On the back of this how about a real world do it your self classic restoration battle… oh..!! And I I can lend you my old Z 1300 to get you started on the road to concours Nerva..😂😂😂

[@darrenb3783]

Blade won full stop

[@Ispintechno2]

The YZF is by far cooler. Id take it over the CBR without question. When i comes to 30 year old bikes which one is slightly faster hardly matters.

[@LondonSteveLee]

I'll say it for the 4 billionth time - why buy a YZF750 when you could have got a ThunderAce for less - much faster, more comfortable - just as good handling and the same thirst for oil. :-) As a real world bike it pisses on a Blade with it's peaky engine and silly 16 inch front wheel.

[@colinstewart1432]

Let's just hear it for fucking 90's superbikes. The garish/bold paintwork, the razors-edge handling & flickability, the character. Where to start? The bikes were the stars with the scenery a close second. The bickering I can live without. If these 2 can learn to disagree without being idiots, there's hope for them both. Obviously the Fireblade is the better bike.

[@KrispyCrem3]

Always liked the graphics on the YZF but the Blade won all the plaudits back in the day, until the R1 rewrote the script.

[@MightyCalves]

Barons Deutsche is so on point! 🤣

[@zweispurmopped]

A suggestion for the next BBB: Budget Harleys. Why? Because we love to see you suffer. Mwahahah!!1! 💩 James will probably demand to have me nailed to the cross and stoned there for suggesting that, but…

Another shit hot show chaps - I love the current format, but ultimately it's your gig. I'd have voted for the Yam as well if I had the chance, Sorry Al, it just felt more authentic 😬 can't wait for whatever you do next, it's all bloody marvellous 🏆🏆🏆

[@thedude579]

Please be warned that the "unlimited" German Autobahn does not mean that you can max out your bike anytime you like. So better not speed past a police car in hot pursuit even if the Autobahn is "unlimited". Under "new" german rules you can even be convicted for "racing against yourself". Hard to prove but if it is all captured on video .... I know this is a spoiler but ask a german lawyer before having your bikes confiscated or paying a hefty fine, like it happened in Switzerland.

[@metaomicron72]

So, when both exposed to alcohol, Chris goes into sexual mode, while Al goes into "I'll fuck you up" mode. Similar names but different outcomes

[@Itsdazma]

I’m a member so I watched the whole BBB when it was first released - and then watched it again as you released the individual parts as well. Such brilliant content. Please make it over here to the USA soon! Saw your connection with Josh at the Streetfighter launch. He would make an excellent addition to the 44T crew as a US Correspondent! Come do a BBB in Southern California. - we have the weather and the roads that will not disappoint.

[@EJK1965]

Well done Chris, you are the clear sports moral winner. Not only did you hold your pretty head high, but you showed Fagan how it's done.

Pinky won 100%. Al will NEVER win one of these - he is too worked up, and not “getting” the entire purpose of BBB….go Pinky!!!!!

[@thinkdunson]

you could hold an online survey to determine the winner. but don't just make it a straight vote. ask a bunch of cleverly worded questions, and then use those answers to calculate the winner. clever questions like, "this last question won't determine the winner, totally no bearing on anything, but just as a hypothetical, who do you think should have won?". all sneaky like. so you would have the technical winner, from things like price and breakdowns et cetera, and then you have who won the popular vote. and i know it's y'alls money anyway, but maybe the winner gets a gift card to Bob's Slop Shack, or whatever good local eatery you have there. or maybe make a trophy that gets passed to the current winner. but some sort of prize should be awarded. otherwise, how can you shame the other person for being a loser? maybe have the gift card for the technical winner and a trophy for the popular winner, and the trophy is a guy being worshipped by people.

[@LondonSteveLee]

There didn't really used to be security at Oktoberfest - then a million "friendly" guests were invited into the country against the will of the German population - what could possibly go wrong?

[@dansmith1695]

I love cbr 900’s but the YZF dicked all over it, fact. I wouldn’t want one,much rather have the cbr but the challenges speak for them selves
