Is the expert bike the aprilia or the triumph?

[@EbonyPope]

Can anybody tell me why most modern motorcycles nowadays look like the hunchback of Notre Dame??? What's the point of these ridiculous looking gas tanks sloping towards the front. I mean a little would be ok but in combination with these even lower headlights they really look at if they had a hunchback.

Z900

[@soulshinobi]

Would love to see wet weight included in basic stats along power and cost, super important to less experienced and lighter riders (it's one of my first considerations for any bike).

[@rallynfernandes8970]

Lol no Z900. Seriously, remove the Z650 and put the Z900 somewhere higher.

[@TravisTerrell]

Well, since the picture is actually of a Z900, you kinda get your wish! Haha

The z900 have 949cc max for the list was 900cc….

[@rallynfernandes8970]

@@jespereriksson6591 which is silly. It's not litre class either. So it's in a class of its own, the 948cc class? It's about the same weight or slightly less heavier than the GSXS750. It costs less than most of the bikes on the list too.

[@bassam8165]

Loving the validation of having my bike at the top. I will cherish this for the next week until you make the sane list again and put the triumph or aprilia on top.

[@GrtSatan]

My 890 Duke R is a complete hooligan bike and far more refined than the 790 I used to own. Feel like the good people at KTM use their customers to do the R and D.

[@Snadker]

03:27 The picture for the z650 is not correct. That picture the video shows correspond to a z900. LOL!

[@killernanny4315]

I noticed that too lmao

[@A_Wolf]

It deserves a spot too in my opinion and might as well kick out the z650 to include it.

[@pyjama1055]

Finally I consider the 890 same as the 790 duke. And after 125xt it was more fun than I you’ll handle, but the electronics keep me alive. Top 2 means I’m still getting the medal and that means a lot to me from my favorite noob.

[@thorbenjohr]

I own a cb650r, and i can assure you that its a great bike, you definitely dont sit as agressive as the MT07 for example. I have around 3000 miles on it, no problems whatsoever. Can only recommend it

[@TheEpicDuck23]

CB is way more aggressive than the mt-07. I have the CB and my best friend has the mt-07. CB has the gear shifter in a more sporty layout with metal pegs, MT-07 has rubber pegs and more upright ergos. CB is not uncomfortable by anymeans but it's more aggressive than the MT. (Both 2020 versions)

[@nateriver5114]

mt-07 is the least agressive i can imagine. you sit as upright as on a supermoto with your feet forward that it's concerningly close to a cruiser. nope. not for me.

[@thorbenjohr]

[@nateriver5114]

@@thorbenjohr we have to differentiate here i think. and i only know the cmparison between the mt07 and mt03. the seating is very relaxed on the mt07 with the footpegs more forward than the mt03. too much forward for my likes. contrary to that the riding is indeed very agressive. just like with a supermoto, you sit relaxed and upright but you fight your corners like there is no tomorrow. after test riding th 07 and switching back to my 03 i was happy to be back on my bike where i can lean down better and rev out to 12k rpm. relaxed is not for me.

[@nerdiestthingon2wheels]

I've heard so many good things about the 2022 Yamaha XSR 900 I know it's just the MT 09 with a longer wheelbase but it looks so much prettier than the MTs

[@nixodine590]

While I like the MT series they do look like wasps in a way

[@talltale9760]

It’s absolutely gorgeous especially in the racing blue

[@nerdiestthingon2wheels]

@@talltale9760 That blue and gold is amazing!

[@pyrocrewZuiden]

It’s just 2 way different types of style. I love the looks of the MT-09 (2017-2020) as a modern naked bike, cause it looks mean and menacing. However, the XSR looks really beautiful and falls in a different category for me to compare it to. I find it hard to say that the one is better looking than the other

[@TBCxFallen]

The mt 07 is what I wanted but the dealer sold the one they had and couldn't get another one. All the ones I found used where 7k+. I ened up with the cbr500r. It was pretty much the only sport bike they had. As a first bike I enjoy it, but now I'm ready for another one.

[@jawrazorback]

As a 1st gen fz09 owner...iver never stopped singing the praises of the fz09/mt09 platform and finally yammie has justified my choices suck it mortals this naked bike can steal your woman 🤣

[@The.JZA.]

I cant decide between the Duke 890 R and the Mt09 SP. Apparently the 890R is better, sharper, more sporty etc and I also prefer the way it looks. The MT09 looks like typical Japanese styling. I do like that 3 cylinder whistle though. I have a 2020 Duke 390 and it's still a blast to ride so I'll stick with that for a while longer.

[@traviscreamer933]

Why did you leave out the Z900?

[@EVAN__WILLIAMS]

I wish I knew about naked bikes when I first started. Definitely would have been on an SV or MT-07 instead of the superspot I had.

[@f.i.l.d.e.p.s]

[@TheFloresj23]

I got my first bike two weeks ago and it’s a 22 MT-07. And it’s what brought me to the channel. But what I look forward to now is how you work in the turbo yeetyeet 1300hp monster Hayabusa to start every video
