I owned a1965 Honda S90 and a1967 Honda 305 Scrambler... wished I would have hung on to both of them.

[@rottweilerfun9520]

Always hang on , flying off the back sucks.

[@Hollywoodchupacabra]

I had the 90 and the 350 scramblers. I liked riding the 1960s Yamaha 2 stoke and Suzuki's. They had some strange street version of two stokes and were 2 cylinder and could really scream when you built up the right RMP even thou they looked lame.

[@Clockshopper1234]

Kawasaki should make eliminator with the H2 engine to stay true to the cocaine fueled energy of the original eliminator.

[@phil4986]

I had a good friend who went from a used Suzuki GT380 to a brand new Kawasaki GPz550. It was like going from a moped to a rocket ship. We always used to cruise around on the GT380. One trip through the curves on the GPz ended all that. The frame, suspension and motor on that bike was simply astonishing. I remember riding passenger on the GPz and I could knee down on one of the curves while we were going sixty. That was enough. The GT380 would wobble all over the place, warning us to slow down. The GPZ just said, "Is that all you got?" Great memories, great bikes.

[@SchoolforHackers]

My GT380’s performance was also enhanced by its almost complete lack of brakes.

[@codegame027]

Cb750 was omitted. This list is invalid.

[@Geshmaal]

Weirdly Honda killed off the true successor to the CB750 (the CB1100) right before bringing back the CB750 name under the Hornet sub-brand. Talk about sending mixed messages. I would much rather have had something in the style of the old CB750 but with the new 750 twin - sort of like a Honda Bonneville really.

[@JLiT_B]

I’ve got a 2014 cb1100 that has been quite refreshing to own compared to others I’ve had the displeasure of servicing

[@Derbear247]

The CB750 really never went away!

[@richardwarsinske7064]

I've heard rumors that Honda is planning on releasing a GB750 that utilizes the 755 Hornet engine in a 1969 CB750 like retro styled twin shock frame. Considering Honda doesn't sell the Hornet in the US we probably won't get this GB either though (d... you Honda!).@@Geshmaal

[@fatherfreedom1946]

Only losers drive cb750s. 1979 Diavel or gtfo

[@stephanematis]

I wish Honda hadn't stopped making CB1100As. What nice modern classic.

[@rottweilerfun9520]

The thing about the CB1100 is that it only looked good.

[@donaldoehl7690]

Dealer let me ride used one. Sooooo bland and uninspiring. So,not sorry...

[@wadetyler5056]

I really miss the old Yamaha 650 and 400 Seca, very dependable and easy to maintain. I put many, many miles on both!

[@dw3897]

That orange Honda CL175 was my first bike. Bought new in the spring of 1971, it was the perfect intro to motorcycling. Not only did I ride it everywhere on the road, I took it on many trails thru the woods. It only took that first summer for me to upgrade in the fall to a new CB750K1, now that's a bike I'd love to have again. I just don't like the looks of today's bikes, plus they are just too complicated. I'd take that little CL175 again if Honda would make it just like it was in 1971.

[@SchoolforHackers]

I had one too. What a great bike. Thanks for the memories.

[@jmm83164]

I had a 72 cl 175 first bike I ever rode took it DC the next day . Total crap by the time I got it .

[@sleeper.simulant7327]

They could do a new Eliminator 900 with the Z900 engine… And Honda could do an SCL1100

[@thewatcher5271]

The First Mexican 1000 Was Run In 1967 & Won By Malcolm Smith & J.N. Roberts On A Husqvarna & The Second One, In '68 Was Won By Berquist & Preston On A Honda. Thank You.

[@SchoolforHackers]

I still have my 1975 Honda CB400F (red). I knew the minute I saw that bike it was something special, and I would sooner sell my liver. Kept it cherry, ridden and loved it every summer for decades. I’ve done obsessive maintenance on it - because I can! Now I’m looking for a builder motor for round 2 of its life, and mine. So damn glad I kept it!

[@heretohear8662]

Need some 1980's Honda VFR back in the game!!

[@sketchmoon3333]

or a 2024 v4 magna

[@barneybro1107]

It isn't a thing in the US but I am pretty happy that Fantic brought back the Caballero a couple years ago. It was the cool kids enduro in the 80s in italy spain and also in germany, and since 2016 it's back as a really capable lightweight scrambler. It was the best decission ever to buy that bike.

[@SchoolforHackers]

Wow, haven’t seen that name in years.

[@janpow331]

Honda 305 Scrambler!

[@shenmisheshou7002]

The 305cc CL77 is one of my favorite motorcycles of all time. It looked cool and it sounded fantastic. At this time in my life, big bikes were Triumphs, BSAs, and Harleys but the CL77 was the bike that I lusted after.

[@shadyss96]

I wish Honda would remake the "Super" Magna (87-88) and VFR. V4 Honda was amazing.

[@JvariW]

I like the modding that was happening back then. Turning these into flat trackers, scramblers, cafe racers, bobbers.. that’s why I’m into the classics. I just can’t see you doin it the same way on modern bikes. Really wish there was somewhere you could go to learn this

[@richardjohnson2965]

I am an old guy….in my 70s…but I’ve been riding since I was 14….1961. I’ve had Hondas, Kawasakis, and a couple of Harleys….and sold my last bike a few years ago….thinking I’m getting too old. If a few of these old bikes come back…I just might have to get one….just for the good times.

[@Iskalawagz24]

0:05 Yamaha YTX 125! just like mine! A motorcycle exclusively built for Philippine roads. The twin rear shocks and the piece of metal under the tank for sidecar installation is a giveaway. Unlike the Crux Rev of India, Africa and Japan that has smaller engine and only two rear shocks instead of four. love that bike. it's unkillable and economical that runs on gas fumes.

[@steveperry1344]

i rode some of the honda scramblers 160 and the 305 back in the 60's and thought they were nice bikes and always wanted one. when i see one now they look so small compared to big harley-davidsons i've owned over the years but i would still like to have one, they are very cool looking.

[@gladegoodrich2297]

Air cooled Hondas would run forever!

[@tompotter5981]

I bought a new 1972 Yamaha 250 DS-7 in 1973 for $625. The opitime of simplicity. A twin 2 stroke air cooled with excellent transmission and drum brakes. Even the suspension was decent. And I could fix it myself!

[@canuck81]

One thing the new eliminator has in common with the old ones is they're both hideous looking 😂

[@gaugedipasquale8268]

@yammienoob and community! I am a beginner rider looking for a reliable, fun bike with classic design cues. I only plan to ride it daily for my work commute and look "cool" while doing so (all of 20 minutes). In the video, the brand Royal Enfield was mentioned. I was looking into the Continental GT 650 and was wondering if anyone here owns one or knows someone who does? Would this be a good workhorse? Or would it be too uncomfortable while wearing a backpack to work?

[@terryturner681]

I had a cb 750 green and gold stripe in 1974 it was a blast it sound at the red line was amazing. Good memories.

[@user-dv7hb2sc9m]

I had one of those bikes from yesteryear & I liked it very much. A Kawasaki Kz1000 back in I think 1979-80 when I had her for a short time but long enough to turn a 120+MPH..... Of course you'd be pushing 150-160mph to feel the same rush but nothing on those bikes was even close to the technology we have today. That bike would feel like a costco mini-bike compared to even the 300 class street bikes of today. But back then it was one fast ride.... I wish I had another one. peace

[@peterholthoffman]

The Yamaha XS650B, Honda SL-350K2, and XL250K0. The SL-350K2 should come back as at least a 450 or maybe as much as a 650 but not larger.

[@SchoolforHackers]

That SL350 was a damn sexy bike. ❤

[@allanweseman5433]

I would dearly love to see a water-cooled 350 two-stroke again but that not being emissions feasible, we need transverse 4 cylinder fuel injected 400cc light bikes maybe with shaft drive like the '94 KAWASAKI ZL 400

[@skierboy85]

Turbos and two stroke street bikes. The turbos could happen, but I doubt there will ever be another H2 widow maker.

[@DogMania]

Time is a Flat Circle…. I see what you did there 😏

[@adamritchey4209]

I hope they make an Eliminator 1000 or something like that. Looks like a pretty cool bike, but it's so small.

[@normanstringfield9246]

Bring back the Yamaha XS650. Great little bike, totally indestructible. Easily customized. Mine was customized as a Street Tracker.

[@chrisbaker2903]

I doubt anyone will bring back even a variant of the bike I liked the best. I want a brand new, NO CHANGES, Honda VT500, Shaft drive, V-twin, with offset crank pins, hydraulic valve adjusters. Best ride around bike I ever owned. It's one big failing was the 2.5 gallon gas tank. I detest both the racerbike look and seating position and also the living room recliner seating position of the cruisers. Blech! The VT500 was smooth and reliable and comfortable with a sit up mostly straight seating position and it was a light enough for fun riding and rode nice enough for freeway flying to beyond any speed limit I know of. If I'd had any sense back then I'd have gotten another tank and had someone modify it to hold 5.5 gallons so I could ride it on my longish commute, just under 100 miles, until I could move closer to my job. I miss that wonderful bike.

[@tjey379]

The SCL 500!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ That's where my hearts at. Yup, am old

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

I myself hate these space age design new motorcycles. I love the normal look of vintage bikes.

[@ryann6919]

Turbo Busa @4:12 Ok seriously as soon as he asked "you know what the 80''s didn't have" I shouted TURBO BUSAS!

[@FoxVelox222]

I had the scl500 and loved it. Unfortunately someone hit me one it and totaled it. Was a sweet little machine.

[@johncaceres0619]

Who won the gaming pc giveaway you advertised?

[@billmago7991]

the Suzuki Katana 1100 started the trend in 1981....australia got a wire wheel option as well🇭🇲🇭🇲

[@1683clifton]

Fool! Fool! Mt03 was made as an answer to all of those rides. Best bike ever.

[@notwocdivad]

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A REBUILT 1960's BSA ROCKET GOLD STAR 650 TWIN! Using modern materials but the same castings etc, well one change I would allow would be horizontally split crankcases and fuel injection, (but make it look lik a carb!!)

[@erickriebel4366]

I had a super 90 Honda back in 1967 and then I got a 500 Kawasaki triple in 1970 and I think the difference for me is this was very affordable and it basically gave me the Wings of Freedom and I think most people want to go back to that not that the new bikes aren't great as well because they are but the other ones were much more accessible and affordable for everybody that wanted one that is not the case now in my humble opinion

[@waltersaari7954]

Out of 5, 2 Aprilias & Triumph? Couldn’t finish watching. ( I usually enjoy your vids).

[@chipevans1939]

I loved my 1980 Suzuki GS 1000, GS850. Would like to see them come back.

[@SephiMasamune]

Honda 305 superbhawk

[@drdubb76]

my all time favorite was Honda SL350 K1.

[@lazylester1]

Don't hate on me , but I'd like to see a Triumph that sounds the way they did in the day!

[@The2wheelingBelgian]

Yammie missing the Triumph Daytona 650 hit me right in the ticker, missing the final inline 4 engine they ever made. Ofcourse I have one so it makes me the only person caring about it, BUT STILL!! :'D

[@captainplanet43]

I can't wait for the CF Moto 450 MT to come out.

[@chinadave2854]

I'm one of those on a 81 honda cm 400 c twin only made 1 year I wonder how many were sold? but its a lot of fun. Got to high school on a 72 cl 175 twin I was hooked I'm 65 now. Peace out.

[@KS-cp6bj]

I have a totally original 65 cb160 with 750 miles on it.

[@karlfonner7589]

Maybe it’s not so much the retro look that everybody likes, but maybe it’s the standard upright seating position that these motorcycles have to offer that makes them such a sweet and comfortable ride to enjoy and not break your neck on. Or other important parts of your body (crotch)😂. I would really like to see you raffle off that triumph 400 that’s out. Also, with a round headlight, you could mount a windshield for a winter time riding.

[@oddsox-sensei]

Yes, I’m waiting to test ride the Triumph Speed 400 and 400x Scrambler. 😊

[@j.d.mcginn6946]

I have no clue why some *most* people like all 4 cyl bikes. Im into singles and inline twins after all we are talking about simple and retro here! Royal enfield classic 350 and honda h'ness 350 and Triumph T120 ( i own one- yes its cool) Now we are talkin retro!

[@jaysonpratt2032]

A LARGE DISPLASMENT IN LINE 4 SHAFT DRIVE AIR OIL COOLED

[@johncarter9964]

Bate and switch here - wanted to see the CL77 brought back. You used the picture but almost all of this video was about ninja style bikes. Not the same 😢

[@Hollywoodchupacabra]

I had a Honda 350 and a Triumph 650 back around 1970. Anyway, the Triumph 650 was like riding a Honda 350 with twice the power. It also sounded better. While it was a pain in the tushy to start compared to the 350 the ride was so much more fun with the extra power. The Triumph 650 also had better natural placement of the handlebars. I still have the 350 but really miss the 650 because it just looked better and was a nimble little beast. Motorcycles began to look ugly in the 1970s and continue to look ugly.

[@johnh1001]

WHY DO SCAMBLERS ALWAYS HAVE THE EXHAUST OUT THE LEFT SIDE , WHEN ALL OTHERS HAVE IT OUT THE RIGHT ? ? ?

[@andrewmiller407]

[@fatherfreedom1946]

They gonna try and replace the Vulcan s with this

[@DakodaNeilson]

You missed small displacement 4 cylinders.

[@RitaElaineHeltonBarker-uz4sz]

Maybe it's time for a 4-Rotor motorcycle?

[@musicauthority674]

I had one of the original Honda scrambers and I liked it. but I don't like the new scrambler. I like Royal Enfield's because they look like a motorcycle. and modern motorcycles don't.

[@stevenleek1254]

As an ancient one, I yearn for the Triumph I never got--the one I still can't get. I don't want no 500 pound water cooled pigaville. I want a 350 pound 50 reliable HP kick start, air cooled, splayed fuel injector/carburetor look alike, uh, carburetors, see though simple replica with a monstrous Grimeka twin leading shoe DRUM brake. I know they can make it. Will they? NO. Pissonallaya

Unnecessary tech is unnecessary. Crazy speed is also unnecessary. Giving you all that failure prone tech for no other reason than to charge you for all the associated parts and maintenance when it fails is not something that benefits you it benefits the manufacturer.
