Welcome to What Bike Next? Episode 3 - a series features and videos in which Michael Mann and Simon Hargreaves help #BikeSocial Members find their next bike.
In this episode, Gareth Reed, an aircraft engineer from South Wales with track day aspirations, asks Michael and Simon for help finding his perfect next bike. They select a #motorcycle each that they think will hit the spot. Then there's a third option, a mystery bike, selected by Superbike Factory's sales expert. But will Gareth end up with one of these three, or go his own way?
Thank you to our super sponsor, #pirelli for the support: www.pirelli.com/tyres/en-gb/m...

Speed Triple was actually the closest to his brief - a good step up from an SV650 with a deceptive amount of real-works pace and sporty enough handling. They can definitely hold their own on track with that glorious 3-banger engine! Fireblade was a bit excessive which just played into the Gixxer’s hands as being the ‘just right’ bowl of porridge. Not sure if you could get one in budget - but a Ducati Hypermotard would have been my left-field choice. Utterly hilarious for an hour’s ride or two on the road, awesome fun on track (remember Casey Stoner’s promo videos?), not massively intimidating power - plus, Ducati. ❤

I honestly thought the Triumph would have been perfect for Gareth but we couldn’t test it on track (which is where he’d have changed his mind!). Ducati would have been mega - I recall doing the press launch of the Hypermotard 950 which was a hoot on a twisty track! Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Michael.

Hi guys, thanks for Bennett’s and bikesocial for the great experience. I’m thinking about making a video of my plans with the gsxr 750 I have purchased since the program was filmed getting ready for its track day debut. It’s not going to be a full track bike just a road bike with a few tweaks. Then maybe show my experience of arriving at a track and show how’s things run and what you need to do etc? I’ll be doing this from a novice perspective like a beginners guide? I don’t know if this sounds interesting to anyone? Thanks Gareth Reed (kipsy) 👍

You have the best all round sportbike of all time. I had plenty of 1000s, I had Hayabusa x 3, and had the 2016 Ninja H2. All were fantastic bikes but the old Gixxer 750 put the biggest smile of all. The best handling, agile bike with power to weight virtually nothing can touch especially around corners. I had an L8, a K7 I tracked and now the beautiful model the 2010 - absolutely love them. In combination with my 2019 Suzuki Katana I have the best of both worlds. Suzuki rules 👍 Congratulations and enjoy 👍

Great series! After the first two bikes, I was thinking, "A Suzuki GSXR 750 would be perfect." And then the mystery bike was none other than...a gixxer! I had purchased a 2020 KTM 1290 SDR and found it was way too much for Western Colorado's mountain roads. I found a '98 Honda VFR 800 that works out perfectly for me.

Toughest one yet, I’d say, due to the really wide choice; “sporty, comfy, able to do a few track-days” could be pretty much anything short of a Himalayan or a Harley. Great shows and very entertaining. I wasn’t surprised he found the ‘Blade a bit much though I’d say the GSX-R 750 isn’t that far behind. How about being allowed two choices each (just you guys, not the expert) with one likely/sensible and one left-field choice?

The Speed triple is surprisingly faster on the track than you would think as a result of the immediate spread of power off idle all the way to redline that allows one to pull out of corners faster than most superbikes without shortening the gearing.

For the purpose of the video, I'm with Michael on the Speed Triple recommendation despite Gareth's ultimate choice (which I view as safe and familiar, and understandable). Personally, I'd have recommended spending a sizable percentage of his budget on track / racing school lessons before making any choices.

I know what bike next! Pretty sure you wouldn’t guess! Two years ago it’s was CBT and a Suzuki GXS-S125 and 5,000 miles. After some lessons on a SV650 and my test pass my first big bike last year a 21 plate 241 mile Honda CBR650R I have added 6,000 miles on last year. I was planning to run it for another year or two Before changing to anything more powerful. But then my son burnt out the rear tyre Dow to the cords on his Ducati V4R and we stopped at his dealer to get a tyre swapped and I oggled the gorgeous Panigale V2 demonstrator. Dealer offered me a go and explained I wasn’t in the market but he said dealer demo day next week and I could resist. Rode 4 Ducati’s but the V2 blew my mind, what a machine. New job 2 months ago and my son got me a deal and she arrives very soon! Hope your guest enjoys his next bike as much as I plan to!

@@christiangrendel9893 Couldn't agree more, when I bought my first bike (in 1993) I read every review and listened to every piece of advice I could, and bought a CBR600 - it was a fantastic bike in every way but it just didn't inspire me. I chopped it in after about 6 months for a Motoguzzi California (slated by press and public alike) and I absolutely loved it - so much so that I had another 2 after that. Many bikes later I'm now on an XR for touring and a Thruxton R for weekend blasts - the two most beautiful bikes ever made - and I still take regular trips into the garage just to look at them both :)

As soon as I saw the Speed Triple unveiled, my reaction was: "don't bother with the other two" :) Love the WBN series. Thumbs up to Michael Mann & the team. Greetings from Western Australia.

@@bennettsbikesocial But I couldn't resist ... I had to see the next two bikes. I watch this series in real time, much more enjoyable than fast forwarding ahead and spoiling the anticipation. I hope this series inspires people to buy a good used bike ... I realise that we're in tough economical times, but guys need their toys.

After riding the Gixxer for a month he'll be back in the shop begging these blokes to trade him for the Speed Triple LOL Those racer replica ergonomics are gonna kill his back, knees & wrists! Too funny 🙂

Hi Jamie, they have to be accurtae in order for us to publish them. We take every premium of the specific model chosen that we insure as close to publishing the video as possible, and find the average. Hope that helps, Michael

I still own a Speed Triple. I used to own a GSXR. But have never been on a Blade. The Triumph is all about the look and that engine. Not very comfortable for me. The GSXR. I wish I never sold. I have had a number of bikes. Still have two. Best bike I ever had was the Suzuki. It fitted like a comfy carpet slipper. Did everything better than I could. They are amazing bikes.

2016 wasn't that long ago, but i don't know if you can compare that speed triple to the 2024 street triple R. however, i imagine there would be some similarities... so he keeps saying it has tons of power on the street but he doesn't think it would be all that great on the track. hearing him say that, and having experienced a street triple at its top speed a few times, i don't think he ever wound it up high enough to find out what it's like at those speeds. with my street triple, you don't get its full power until you go over 110 mph or so. as in, the ecu literally doesn't give you full power until it thinks it's really necessary. so what i'm trying to say is, i think he would have been surprised to find out it's even more powerful on the track than he may think it would be.
