"you can barely reach the brake lever" Why bother? It probably doesn't work anyway...

[@mynamedoesntmatter9013]

Hey, it works... eventually. And hey, if the rings aren't shot, there's always engine braking.

[@kevinfox500]

Depends on the design, and the builder. The brakes work fine, and are in reach on a west coast design, or a modern low sling one. Old School, tank at forehead level, can't see past the neck, springers, what front brake? Think something Paul Sr would build for himself. That's the style mentioned in then video. Arlen Ness, Jesse James, Cory Ness, Chica, and Paul Jr, the bikes tend to be long, low, and more modern. Same with Bourget, who is one of only 3 builders I would go to if I wanted a checkbook chopper. Make that two, as Indian Larry is dead. Bourget, or West Coast Choppers.

[@ryos.5974]

Fun fact: many choppers, especially the old school panheads and knuckleheads, don’t even have front brakes.

[@scrogfpv7443]

Who puts a front brake on a chopper though?

[@lowlyfe2497]

I used to love this page solely because it promoted loving being on 2 wheels no matter what you rode and educating everyone about the positivity of keeping an open mind to different styles and makes.

Hey Harley Guy, we all like loud pipes but quit it with the straight pipes. I've been suggesting for years that all the Harley assholes have their pipes come out in front of them so they can hear how shitty and loud their bike sounds. When people ask why Harley's are so loud I explain that the pipes are behind them and they are not exposed to that shit sound, they put it out back for us to enjoy. I've been saying for years the H-D assholes are going to ruin it for the rest of us and guess what? They are going to know crack down on loud bikes, eventually they'll ban slip on pipes.

[@WellStudied]

Actually, it was the returning GIs from WW2, in the late 30s and 40s who gifted us "The BOBBER." Originating with the Hot Rod craze post WW2, returning servicemen began stripping down their bikes to lighten the load and create competitive, street racing machines! Now just like the Hot Rod, GI's were buying motorcycles as cheap transportation, and with their newly acquired mechanical skills, making them faster then stock, which btw, not only included stripping heavy parts to lighten the bikes, often including unnecessary items like the suspension and shocks, but turning wrenches to make their engines far faster than stock! The goal was to make American bikes like the Harley, compete with and dominate, the often faster and lighter British and Italian bikes, that were now invading the U.S.! This procedure usually included the signature removing of, or shortening, aka "bobbing," the rear fender, as well as shortening or bobbing the often far to long seat. And so, "the Bobber" was born - as much "trench art" as it was racing machine - the American, motorcycling GI's mean and lean street machine, known affectionately today as... "The Bobber."

[@carbonfiber492]

Like hot rods modified bikes existed beforehand but returned servicemen really exploded the amount and moved it from a small niche of young guys buying old bikes and making them fast to race each other into the mainstream bobbers and choppers are named because guys would literally cut anything off that wasn’t needed including bodywork It is interesting to note that what would become known as the scrambler started to become popular in Europe at the same time while American roads were somewhat developed and were built around the car European roads weren’t due to just having a war and in general being older and more suited to low speed travel so guys would lighten what ever bike they had and try and get everything as high from the ground as the could to stop it getting caught

While I like all cruisers a lot,my favorite type are standard midweight cruisers,such as Kawasaki Vulcan EN500, Suzuki Savage, Honda Shadow 600 and 750, HD Sportster and similar bikes,they have the comfort and long distance highway riding capabilities of big cruisers,while still being small and light enough to be practical for city riding.

[@kevinfox500]

The smaller ones are fun. However, you can run a muscle cruiser in a city, just fine. I daily a VTX 1800, and live in a decent sized city, with no issues. But I love breaking out the XS Eleven, XS 650, the wife's VT 1100, the CB 750, or the Norton Commando, out for a city ride as well.

[@royledford5673]

A bit of history: The term "Chopper" originated after WW2 when returning GI's bought war surplus bikes and stripped everything unessential to gain cheap performance. As they got older and bought newer bikes they did the same thing. It wasn't until '64-'65 that extended front ends soon followed with apehangers made the scene and gained popularity--with the same bare essentials. This is the bike the general Public cognized as a "Chopper". Of course there HAS to be an opposite end of the spectrum--Dressers. And these could (and did) get really elaborate but what is termed "Bagger" today would qualify. Any bike with extras or "farkles" was a "Dresser". --'69 Electra Glide

[@geoffk777]

I think Baggers subdivide further into full-dress baggers and retro, classic baggers. The full-dress crowd gets Gold Wings or Ultra Glides with full fairings, GPS, and every possible option. Their bike is like a two-wheeled luxury car. The retro-classic baggers would love to have a pan head from 1947 and want the closest thing to that that they can get. Which means a big touring bike, but stripped down, like a Road King or Indian Springfield. With the windscreen and bags taken off, these are actually very basic (albeit very big) machines. These may seem like small differences, but they're not. Most Road King riders wouldn't be caught dead on an Ultra Glide, even though the mechanicals are pretty similar.

[@poursomebeeronit]

Futt Yuu, Spite! Little bit of love from a Vulcan rider.

[@BigSmittyRiding]

I love my cruiser! 14 Honda Valkyrie. I live in Houston and really enjoy riding in the Austin area.

[@dadoleyna]

I'll admit to being only a casual watcher, what is it that you 'don't like' about the Vulcan S? Is there only a visual complaint, or is it based on some spec? I'll admit the S does nothing exceptionally, but also does nothing poorly. It's easily quick enough to kill inexperienced riders, and 'cruiser' enough to log 100's of miles in a day. To me, the 'bang for buck' ratio is REALLY high with a Vulcan S. I made my used 2015 purchase Vulcan S with only 6k on it for less than 4000. Compared to my first bike, a Shadow 1100c, the Vulcan is quicker off the line, faster at the top end, better gas mileage, and, to me, better looking, and at near 1/3 the cost after TTL taxes, and registration. 3700 miles logged in less than 5 months and a big smile on my face.

[@cstarr3240]

Sorry, dude. You are using logic, facts, and figures. That means nothing to most of the cruiser crowd. I don't think most cruiser guys are looking for quick and efficient fun; they are looking for a bike that has "character." As it relates to a cruiser, I have found that "character" generally means "no redeeming quality, but I still like it for reasons I can't explain." Personally, I agree with you on the Vulcan S; good looking, quick, and low cost of operation. I nearly bought a brand new Vulcan S when it was time to get my first motorcycle. But then I found a guy selling his Harley V-Rod Muscle with less than 7K miles on it for less than $8K. So now I ride a Harley, and I can tell you that it is objectively worse than the Vulcan S for a new rider. I can also tell you that, if I had to chose all over again, I'd still chose the V-Rod.

[@beardedforlife3740]

You also compared it to a shadow which is even slower than a Harley so....

[@guppyitsallgood]

Obviously personal opinion and taste to follow... the Vulcan S has the second ugliest headlight in the world of motorcycling, and I'm not even sure why. When I look closely I can't pinpoint why I hate it so much, but on a look something about how it merges into the forks and the acorn/strawberry shaped output makes me wanna hit it with a cricket bat. Could be worse though, it could be a Street Triple. Don't get me wrong, I'd buy the shit outta a Street Triple, but I'd also have an aftermarket headlight already waiting to bolt on.

[@dadoleyna]

@@guppyitsallgood I'm with you on the Vulcan S headlight being a distinct negative, and also with you on disliking the headlamp on a street triple.

I'm not a cruiser guy, but will admit that the allure of muscle cruisers and the Indian Scout are the exceptions to the rule. Nothing better than having your arms torn off as you rocket up into light speed. I feel the 2014/2015 Honda Valkyrie is the sweet spot. Performs like a muscle cruiser but retains the neutral Goldwing ergonomics, which is my general beef with cruisers. (No, one's feet should never be in front of their knees, ever!!) Honda needs to make more modern Valkyries off the updated Goldwing.

[@raymonwhite3340]

Not going to lie, I felt a bit snubbed with the lack of at least honorable mention for the Victory Octane in the muscle bike category. Scouts were on the scene when it was released, and while they looked similar, it was the engine that was different. I had many instances of Scout riders commenting we had the same bike, then the light would change and the difference instantly became noticeable. To be fair, I may have just been better off the line, but that bike was definitely a machine to put a smile on your face. Rest in Peace Victory, I truly enjoyed my time with you. Stay safe out there everyone, no matter what two wheeler you're on. Dirt bike, to trials and enduro, street racing, to daily riding, watch out for those cagers not looking for you.

This video is brilliant! 😂 the comments are great too, he’s so on point with the descriptions. Come on people, can’t take a joke

[@nelsonsalazar7224]

You really don¿t like the Vulcan? I just had the chance to test one, and it was a pretty comfortable bike, the power was not bad and it was an all around good experience

[@Crai6Mac]

It doesn't appear that this guy likes anything. He's too cool to like anything. But not like "Hipster too cool" because hipsters are stupid just like bobbers, choppers, baggers, busas, harleys, hondas, suzukis, stock bikes, custom bikes, bikes bought already built or building bikes already stock. He's a god. A mere myth among the common man.

[@mxss115]

Currently riding a goldwing GL1200. Looking at buying my girlfriends dads 91 Harley softail. Thinking about going either bobber or bagger with it. I ride a lot of old man bikes for a 24 year old.

[@MarkLeeuwis]

There's also the rat bike and the swedish chopper, although the last one is probably under custom chopper.

[@rallynfernandes8970]

C'mon Yammie... Try the Vulcan S.

[@timsretirementjourney8323]

When you said Muscle Cruiser I thought for sure the Yamaha V Max or Suzuki M109 had to be what was shown. Far as a Harley maybe a V-Rod.

[@ccbassc]

Totally on point. THOSE are muscle cruisers. As far as club bikes, he's got it all wrong too. It's gotta be a dyna (no wide glides) with fairings, t-bars, 2-1 exhaust and jacked up rear end. Vans and flannels are a must for dyna bro's, bro.

[@josephthrasher3186]

[@ImKezo-kq4pq]

I've never own a motorcycle but I can confidently say that I love cruiser bikes I like the style, I'm more of a "enjoy the ride type guy" not speed, So as a beginner I'm gonna get the 2024 Honda rebel 500 it's a cruiser for beginners and it's cheap so it's a bang for the buck

[@Love4boost]

Best cruiser style is bagger. I’d say performance bagger but that usually consists of a ridiculous punched out engine like the 131 which I just don’t think is worth the money. Just put it into suspension. The 107 and 114 have plenty of power with pipes and a tune for a back road. I hate when someone asks me how many cc? Then when I say 1800.. they’re like “oh that must be fast?” Yea fast enough to get beat by every gt car on the market. Just have fun from 0-80 after that just buy liter bike or adv bike. The cruiser market has nothing for ya.

[@stablestoic1491]

That description of a Bobber rider tho... lol. 👍

[@mrkmh1]

The real ZZ-Top is at Sturgis almost every year not a cover band. You well see representation of all styles and brands of motorcycles there.

[@jeremydrewry6717]

That Indian bobber is a legit motorcycle. This is coming from a sport bike dude.

[@davvalstone7107]

Well for me it the Vulcan S = Indian Scout line > Honda Rebel. Nothing else matters. No HDs

[@dhoyt902]

I own a an absolutely hated cruiser the CTX 1300. I love it. Edit OMG you said hoyty toyty about baggers. It is destiny.

[@thesunglassesboy7594]

I have been in the hospital for two days I just got home. I was in an accident with my bike which is totally destroyed. My left arm is fucked. Your videos really helped

[@jerlaine1638]

Why haven't I got rokform? Because I'm not a billionaire that's why. I mean seriously there mount is already the most expensive on the market, and then they require you to purchase the case separately

[@altortugas5979]

This is exactly why I didn’t get one. Put the arms in the right place, x-mount doesn’t hit any buttons, so why would anyone pay three times as much for equipment that does the exact same thing no better?

[@kevinfox500]

Phone mount? Hell, I run a tank bag, because it can go on any of the 7 bikes my wife and I own. Why would I want to buy 2 cases, and 7 fucking mounts? Makes no sense, especially when 2 of those bikes have drag bars. Add two fluid reservoirs, 2 grips, 2 mirrors, a solid block riser, with speedo, and there's mo real estate left for an overpriced mount.

[@JT-zn2nr]

They are worth it. Buy one rokform mount and you’re set buy other brands and you will need to replace. Also the cases have some heavy duty magnets so you really don’t need the mount. ($45 case isn’t for billionaires)

[@custardavenger]

They're expensive because they are paying to advertise in videos like this.

[@SprakanaKerum]

Actual comparo starts at 2:24. Everything before that is Yammie's usual drivel and promotionals for products he endorses. You're fucking welcome

[@christofferstrup1186]

Well, most Club style bikes got a 2-1 exhaust, because of the clearance

[@TravisAnthony07]

I've been riding dirt bikes for the last 20 years and I'm finally getting something for the street. Do you think a fat 650lb cruiser is too much to start developing street skills on?

[@caseyjones6316]

Naw, super common for dirt bike kids to move to cruisers.

[@caseyjones6316]

At least on the west coast haha almost everyone that I rode with when we were kids has a dyna now

@@caseyjones6316 How do they like the dynas?

[@caseyjones6316]

Brandon them dyna boys love their dynas haha they are fun though pretty Torquey the early 2000’s ones with the 88” motor have a shorter wheelbase so they’re easier to wheelie but they’re all pretty fun

Truth about the Sporty. The longest continuously produced vehicle in US history. Oh, and that would be the 883 version.

To be fair being a dentist is a very depressing job with high rates of suicide. So a motorcycle is a must for that profession

From Yamaha Rajdoot 350 to Ninja (Sport bike) i am now riding Vulcan S(cruiser) and i Love it.

[@Xlem3943]

All you gotta do is put a 7 in. Headlight on a Vulcan and it looks 10x more better, don't forget about the fender eliminator!

[@Liquid188]

I just love my VulcanS and enjoy riding way too much. :) Great bike and also my first.

[@paulrambo9656]

We all know the turbo busa is the best cruiser

[@ButternutTrucker]

Not gonna lie, kind of want an Indian Scout for my first bike.

[@Apis4]

Technically, if we go back to the genesis of the term 'Chopper'..... muscle cruisers and bobbers are Choppers too :P I mean one is a factory design based on the idea of doing a strip on a bike they once, or currently make, the other ....used to be the end user doing the same thing, just like with a genuine 'Chopper' ....but actually seems to have become more and more something which is done manufacturer end too like the muscle stuff. Also, you do not see 'Choppers' on the road so much these days the because whilst I implied it is end user work that creates them, that is not entirely true, it is usually boutique custom shops making them, or the end user assembling prefab basket case customs from such shops, much like Cafe Racers these days, and that usually manifests in 3d embellished chrome, and hand made rolled or wheeled fenders and rare endangered animal hide used for the leather, so the bike ends up costing more than the custom bagger. That said, the old school, shed built, local workshop assisted, counter culture rooted, machines that Peter Fonda would ride, are out there, one roads, across the world, in a few subforms, from rat culture, to true 1%'er 'clubs' through to hippie renaissance scenes and end run show types. These people and bikes, are all far far more immersed in custom culture, and counter culture scenes in general than just about ANY other bikers though, even Busa-Boys and their ilk. So you're only going to see them in locales within that scene, literally roads between places which play a role in that scene. Even if they're a thousand kilometers/miles apart. The old school Counter Culture tattoo scene that still venerates Sailor Jerry and doesn't listen to any music which does not pair an electric Gretsch with a Double Bass, and have that one rural Highway diner with barn hall next door with live music? Choppers. Bobbers too, but from the time when they were as back shed as choppers, not off the floor ones, in fact maybe more old school bobbers than Choppers, but a lot of those too. That big Hot Rod and 'Whacky racer' fiberglass and plastic custom car rally, with the special theme of the celebration of hand pinstriping, and an alter to Von Dutch, where the patches on the leather vests and flannel shirts feature iconography of car parts which confuses the shit out of you because four wheel version of old school biker clubs were something you've never even considered existed? Choppers. Bobbers too, but this time probably way more choppers. The peace and chicken grease camp out cook out dead head laden tied dyed ride happening on that farm in that place over six rivers through that valley, through a bunch of covered bridges, where they convinced that band to reform to play, and you see a car park full of pre 1980s cars, two dozen mid 50s Greyhound buses and fifty millio0n Kombi vans? Choppers. In fact, there might be a few truly vintage stock, even concourse condition pre 60s bikes too, but anything else with two wheels will be a Chopper. All the other cruiser gangs, and the rest of the motorcycle world, are just too light in the lifestyle and soft on the scene, to ever see those bikes in their natural habitat, on the roads they call home, and only ever really see them at bikes shows... of faux pas boutique bikes on second hand sites with that 40k tag. That's not the cultures fault my brother, that you fellas fault for being too caught up in other elements of life. No it's true. When bikes are not just your life, but your everyday lifestyle, you'll see those mysterious bikes you only ever see at shows on the road, or even being raced between overpasses or on mock up flat tracks of black dirt on a flood plain, way way more. You will find where the cool kids play, and get to play sometimes too... and there, you will find choppers. Proper Chopper Choppers... not this late 90s early 00s, OCC, Commercial, Dentistmobile New School 150 expert built choppers.. but the real thing, shed built sleds, in all their glory.. actually being used, lived, and loved.

I actually enjoy the Vulcan s, I have fun on it. I have some minor complaints. No front LEDs, a little bit jerky, wish it had a better lean angle like the rebels . All in all still a decent bike.
