Here's a point of view. Cars make more "sense" than motorcycles. When you choose to ride, you sort of say...hey! Life is not always about making sense. Sure, there are horses for courses, but most people will have one motorcycle, well, at least one at a time. So I'd always say go with what you feel, it doesn't need to make sense, most things in life, much like motorcycles seldom do. By the way, this is a great channel, and I absolutely love it!

[@calebchan-nantais5308]

Very wise words. Honestly.

[@markosverdhi]

I have to disagree with your idea that cars make more sense. It depends on context. In a congested city, motorcycles are arguably better. In third world countries where people don't have money, motorcycles are much cheaper to own, maintenance is cheap and gas mileage is much better. In some cases, people don't have good parking where they commute and a motorcycle makes sense there. For me, a motorcycle absolutely makes sense

[@mightymike130]

The ergonomics is part of the whole comparison between a naked and a super sport bike. So that already throws 50% of the comparison out the window.

[@canyonforkash731]

I own a 2019 CBR 600rr and my friend has a Yamaha MT-09, we traded bikes for a bit and holy shit the comfort on the MT was astounding and the instant torque at almost any RPM blew my mind. I don’t regret getting my CBR at all but for higher speeds the MT is a chore to drive I felt like I was getting pushed backwards out of the seat when going 100+ or high wind blasts. Both has pros and cons but getting a naked does make more sense for daily commuting and joyrides than supersports

I own a 2005 Ninja 636, winch I absolutely love. However I also very much enjoy bikes with more low end torque, my boss has a BMW K1200RS which is a very heavy behemoth sport touring bike but I gotta say the way that thing delivers power down low is quite a breath of fresh air coming off a 600 sport bike, even my 636 which tends to have a bit more low end power than other 600s. But when it comes what gives me the "fizz" as James May would say lol nothing compares to a sportbike at 12,000RPM, the sound and rush of a screaming inline 4 at that RPM is nothing short of a religious experience.

[@tommybear1097]

@@drewb242 I have the exact same bike and it's a fucking beast. That bike got stolen and disappeared for 2 years which led to them stripping everything performance related so the only thing left on it that screams aftermarket is the exhaust, there's nothing like the sound of a 636 banging the limiter down an empty interstate and hearing that Yoshi RS5 screaming the sound of its people. Even if it was stolen and all fucked up afterwards, I can't see me ever selling this bike, the 636 is fucking amazing, I just wish the BP was a little more aggressive

@Michael Moretti I partially agree but that could be said for any type of bike whether it be cruiser, naked, or supersport.

[@happyontheroad]

I own a 1999 VFR and test rode a Street Triple recently, and above 70mph, the 20 year old Honda it’s way way better, comfort wise; even with the lower bars! In the rain, if you tuck in a little, it’s amazing how you don’t get wet, like you do on a naked or even on a ADV like a VStrom. I speak from experience, having owned a 600 Bandit and a 650 VStrom.

[@timothycoyne5874]

I had a 6th gen VFR for many years, and now ride a naked bike. The wind isn’t too much of an issue for me (I do have a flyscreen on it which takes some of the wind blast off my chest at 70+ mph), but you’re absolutely right about rain. On the VFR in a very light rain I could tuck in and down and only my knees and shoulders and maybe elbows would get wet. There is zero weather protection on a naked bike. Any rain at all and I get soaked. That being said, I love how much easier it is to work on my new bike. No more carefully removing fairings to do oil changes, etc. Much easier to move around the garage or driveway, too. I loved my VFR, but I don’t miss it too much.

[@keithrushforth4019]

I ride a 2002 R1, and I personally like the leaning forward riding position, even around town. On my old FZR600 I actually dropped the bars down under the top yoke (triple tree), rather than above as standard. I find I rest very little weight on my wrists, as I hold on to the tank with my legs. And as soon as you get any speed up, you can just lean on the wind. What I'd really like to see is a return to 1970's race style fairings, with their "big bubble" type screens. I used to have a TZ fairing on my 350LC, and when you got tucked in behind it, you were almost completely out of the airflow. But at the end of the day neither style is "better", it's just about what suits you, and your personal preferences.

[@JeanPineau44]

Very interesting ! I used to own a mt03, I now own that same vfr 800, and you are right : I bought it because I spent 3 years fantasizing like crazy about this bike. Being 6'6 it is too cramped for my knees, not that confortable for highway but... Hell, I love it. I learned to ride it to the limit of what's sensible on the road, I feel connected to it, I smile every time I see it in my garage or parked outside. I do love the looks, love riding it, and even though there were way more "suitable" choices I don't regret getting it at all. I think my next bike will be a ktm 1290 super adv S, because I want to give a try to something ment for my size, see if sensible but still fun is what I need in my life.

Quick audio advice: slap on a high pass filter at 100hz on your vocal channels. There's a ton of rumble here in your new studio. It's fairly common but sensitive condenser mics tends to pick this up sometimes.

Sometimes the small screen just gets the wind off your chest, a slightly taller screen sends the wind strait into your head. And then a really tall screen you almost need to look through it and all the clean air is lost. I like a small screen just to break the wind. Can still tuck at points if you really need to.

[@Bunstonious]

I genuinely think that the 2 of you over at Yammie Noob have forgotten the spirit of what it means to ride a motorcycle. Seriously, hear me out. What got me into motorcycling was not the 2 wheels or the better fuel mileage or even reconnecting with how I felt as a youngin' on a bicycle with the freedom it gives. What got me into motorcycling was how a motorcycle makes me FEEL... How I feel when riding a motorcycle, even if it isn't particularly fast, is what really draws me to ride in the first place. Every time I ride the steel horse I just get that little spring in my step and I just feel happier, and I love every minute of it even if the minute of it is hard and uncomfortable, if I wanted comfort i'd go get a comfortable cage and drive myself around in relative safety. No, despite the hard things about riding a motorcycle I still absolutely love the hobby even if I don't get to spend or participate as much as i'd like to. Now on to choice of bike. I have always loved the look of the super sports from the first moment I laid eyes on a green Kawasaki Ninja, I didn't know what model or capacity at the time (I was also a dumb teenager) but when I looked at it I saw the epitome of style, the absolutely sexy look of the spots bike is just something that I will never get over I think. Now I am older and much, *ahem*, wiser I have the ability to own my very own beast that is the very same bike that I saw all those years ago (well, newer and not green, but white) and ride it as often as I can, and that is to say, in style. When someone buys a Lamborghini or a Ferrari they don't do it because they want to drive in comfort around the city they live, they drive it because they love the car and for the STYLE! Owning a sports bike is hot, it's inconvenient, its mileage is no better than a small cage and it's relatively uncomfortable to ride... But... It's me... Riding it around just gives me the biggest smile around, I feel like just hopping on her gives me a grin from ear to ear. When i've had a shit day at work I walk down to the parking lot and see my bundle of joy just sitting there waiting for the next ride, I instantly feel happy, I instantly feel good, I instantly feel less shit about the crap I had to deal with just minutes prior. Now that's not to say I hate naked bikes, nor that I hate cruisers (although years ago I said i'd never get a cruiser, but they're growing on me) but I respect your choice to ride whatever you want to ride because we don't ride bikes because of the sheer convenience factor, we ride them because we love them, warts and all. If I had the money and the space, i'd own one of every type of bike for every occasion, but since I don't have the money or the space then i'll have to settle for the sports bike that I always wanted as a kid, that now i'm grown up I can afford that makes me feel special every time I get in the saddle, even if I don't use it to its full capacity, she is mine and I love her... Warts and all...

[@timothycoyne5874]

I went from a 6th gen. VFR 800 I'd owned for 14 years to a naked BMW a year ago. At first at 60 mph I could feel the wind blast on my chest. It wasn't bothersome and I got used to it quickly. Then I could feel it at 65, then at 70. I installed a Dart Classic flyscreen this summer to cut some of the wind blast at freeway speeds (mostly for when I do trips and have to slab it a while). It's kind of noticeable at 75 but still not a problem. The flyscreen helps at that speed, but even without it the wind blast isn't terrible. Ease of maintenance is so much better with the naked bike. I loved my VFR but I do not miss pulling the left fairing to do a simple oil change, something I did 2-3 times per year most years. One other big difference is how much easier it is to move the naked bike around, and to make u-turns. A higher, tubular handlebar and greater turn-to-steering-lock makes the naked bike much more maneuverable both on and off the bike. I do miss the weather protection of my VFR, including wind protection in colder temps, and the naked bike is much more of a pain to clean, but overall I think I really prefer the naked.

[@vgama]

The cold on a naked is a real thing. I've owned a naked and now own a VFR actually and the difference in temperature is huge. For example, on my naked I used to wear underpants, winter jacket and winter gloves during winter in Portugal. On my VFR I went through all winter without underpants, without the winter jacket and also winter gloves. The turbulance on the windscreen is bigger on the VFR though, it's very annoying...

[@mattingray5651]

Ah, I see that when you ride a naked bike, you must be fully dressed. But with a full fairing bike, you can be naked while riding. LOL.

[@vgama]

@@mattingray5651 Isn't it normal to ride naked when on faired bikes? No, but the diference I feel with the VFR is that I can wear an all seasons jacket, aswell as normal gloves and jeans

[@dandavidson9030]

Great Video. I was looking at VFR's. I didn't think about the heat factor. Keep the videos coming.

[@TheBittner1]

I've never understood all the complaints about the ergos of sport and supersports. I've ridden a Daytona 675 almost every day for 5 years. It's my commuter. I have never had these ergo complaints or aches. If your wrists are hurting/aching, wouldn't that mean you're not relaxing your arms like you're supposed to??? And BTW, I'm a 42 year old, 5'9, overweight guy. I'm not a spring chicken by any means and prone to aches and pains as it is!

[@TheBittner1]

Also, I've yet to roast my nuts sitting at a red light. I've been in over 100 degree weather every summer. Heat going into my helmet on the other hand, but then again, I lean back when I'm stopped, so problem solved.

[@chr11sf]

@@TheBittner1 I think the problem is mate that people like to bitch and whine more these days....We've never had it so good and there's way too much choice on offer....jeez, some people complain of noisy tyres on thier bikes lol

[@BEEBEE159]

Americans are so out of shape it's ridiculous. The poisoned air, water, and food has really taken its toll evidently. I'm 48 yrs old, and I'm in great shape, lighter than I was in college. My son, on the other hand, is like a grandpa. Everything is difficult for them. They are spoiled, out of shape, complainers. People who ride sport bikes are usually in good shape themselves. The bike reflects our body. If you're fat and out of shape like these guys in the video, then obviously a sport bike is not going to fit them. Get a couch on wheels if you are unfit and lazy.

[@737Kamikaze]

I could commute on my GSX-R 600 no problem, it was only half hour each way. Now if I went cruising outside of the city with my friends or went on a trip outside of the that was more than 2 hours, it fucking sucked. After an hour and a half I’d start contemplating dropping a lit match in the gas tank and collect the insurance money.

[@xformant]

Yep. I've commuted on a GSX-R600 for 100+ miles a day for years and it's great, which is why I still have it. I've had nakeds and they suck for going fast on freeways, but they are more comfortable for riding around town. It's all pretty basic common sense stuff.

[@DanielDunn]

Helpful stuff guys, thank you. I do appreciate the yin & yang you two guys offer.

[@yangzixiang6605]

i chose a sport bike over a naked for one reason and one reason only. looks. have a feeling many people feel the same way

[@jamalraja9157]

I like to ride my bike naked, that's all I know.

[@sosmotorcycles]

i got a 2021 MT10 last year and i couldnt be happier, its plenty for the street after the flash which really helps the power delivery it is an absolute savage.

[@MGooGM]

6:30 "did I break it?" Yes. Yes, you did. I am able to change the oil in my 2015 r3 without taking off my fairings. However, they really are a pain in the ass when you do have to take them off. The initial protection you can buy for your motorcycle is worth the extra money you'll spend regardless of whether or not you have fairings. I've screwed my r3 up a few times and I've had to replace and fix various necessary parts (crankcase, gaskets) on different occasions and the worst part everytime, aside from cost of course, is having to work around or remove the fairings. If you are doing work on a fully faired motorcycle expect plastic tabs to break, expect to have leftover hardware that you're not sure exactly where it came from and expect most of your time to do seemingly simple or straightforward jobs to be spent on removing and replacing your fairings. They're also expensive to replace if you break them. My r3 isn't worth buying new fairings for to be honest. Even a cheap set off of eBay. I've heard a few people say that if you buy a fully faired motorcycle to replace the OEM fairings with cheap fairings in case you mess it up. That way you will still have the original fairings in new condition for reselling or trade in purposes. I think the point about feeling like a sail is great to bring up. The wind can really alter your speed and ability to accelerate and handle, especially with a smaller displacement motorcycle. Being so light you definitely get pushed around and the turbulence really is very noticeable coming over a windscreen, as was mentioned in the video. I've ridden with some bad crosswinds and I've had to be leaned pretty far over just to keep going straight down the road. I've not had the opportunity to ride a naked bike, but if it eliminates that sail-like effect and lessens the irritation of having to do maintenance then it would be well worth it. I've considered as to whether or not I should get another sport style bike or a naked bike when I'm able to. As cool as sport bikes look, naked bikes definitely seem more practical. Overall cost and maintenance time of a naked compared to the same counterpart of a sport goes a long way. I'm definitely leaning more towards a naked bike in the future. The only question left is, "which one do I get?"

[@agnel47]

Sounds like you definitely need a naked bike.

[@umakantgajjewar8898]

I am glad that this channel addresses many questions/issues faced by motorcycle riders. This is one example in this video. Which is very useful, thats why I like this video/channel. So thank you for that. And I will try to contribute by buying sponsored products to support.

[@MotoJournoKris]

Hard comparison as sportsbike is such a wide segment now, and there's a lot of naked style bikes with fairings these days.

[@travissearles23]

My 2019 MT-07 with the Akrapovic full system carbon is the most fun bike i've ever owned! Not the fastest but most fun!

[@AJ-em2rb]

when you're on the highway for over an hour, especially if it's not particularly warm out, then the fairings are real nice to have.

[@anandamodi1095]

[@RafaelAlmeida-qo7vj]

[@sailcraze]

I enjoyed the video. The terrain and highways look a lot like Arkansas. I agree with all discussion points. I think the advantage of a fully faired bike is with extended speeds over 70 mph. A well designed fairing can stabilize the bike and protect you some from the elements. It depends on how comfortable you want to be on long hauls.

[@n300zx931]

Strange saying fairings are a vanity purchase. I bought my VFR1200F for the wind protection at high speeds and it’s been fantastic

[@buckrogers2546]

I want a vfr1200 so bad. They look cool af, not many around and I bet it's silky smooth.

[@harryflashman4542]

That big orange fairing means conspicuous and visible to traffic. Probably got twice as much chance as being hit by a car on that triple which will just blend into the background.

When we're young with raging hormones, the only thing that makes sense (in our head) are Supersports. As you get older, taste gets refined.

[@xl600mine]

i have owned a 2013 street triple 675 and a 2009 VFR800. The VFR is WAY more comfortable on the highway and being canadian you stay much warmer on cooler days. But the street triple was a rocket compared to the VFR, way more fun to throw around too

That cam on the naked bike was wobbling aroind a lot more. Seems like it was catching a lot more wind.

[@DrKampfpudding]

Sporty nakeds have all the umpf one might need on the Street . Gosh if I want I can let my SV 650 fly . and at those speeds in corners or straights you get a huge fine anyway . Sportbikes are literally just for going stupid fast in a straight line or stupid fast in some 3° corner where you can fly through with over 120 mph. For anything else nakeds are just the best. (My opinion)

[@_trudge]

yam you are being nice to the vfr here idk why you said its dorky !!

[@Surpriseify]

10:15 as a VFR owner myself, this is why you dont fuck up a perfectly good bike by adding a larger windscreen, had you not done that, the airflow over your helmet would be smooth as butter ;) The screen is there to alleviate pressure from your body/chest. Also you have to remove the left side lower faring for an oil change, that is it my man. Unless something changed from the 14 to the 16 i have, x doubt. Just gotta be a little finicky getting the filter in/out. Hardly "tear off your hair" levels of frustration involved in that.

In my opinion ultimately it just comes down to how you feel while riding. u could love a sportbike and also love naked bikes. I guess the important thing is how you feel when you ride it 😉
