@@thejay8963 Yeah I know it was sarcasm. I ride a cbr600rr I'm just showing how dumb the OP was. First off the only people who seem to get uncomfortable and fatigued from riding a sport bike for 4-5 hours are generally out of shape and arent flexible. Secondly you can go site seeing, there are no special places where cruisers are allowed and sportbikes arent. Also it's on two wheels so yes its freeing.

Me: *laughs in sport bikes not supersports because those are the ones not good for touring but the more chill sport bikes with clip ons that still give u a good upright position and offer great performance and enjoyability as other types of bikes(example of sport not supersport bikes: kawasaki ninja 1000 or z1000sx in some countries, all other ninjas that arent zxs, honda cbr650r and 500r, all the lower then 500cc sport bikes, also naked bikes are still sport bikes so all of them)*

Alejandro Leguizamo im 25 and looking for my first motorcycle, what are some good options?

[@alejandroleguizamo7722]

ivan d ... For sports bikes, the regular go to is the Kawasaki Ninja (300 or 400), reliable and affordable, and you can get it used easily. If you want cruisers, you can’t go wrong with the Honda Rebel (500, the 300 is only good if you’ll only drive in the city), and the Kawasaki Vulcan S. Do your research and go to dealerships so you can sit on them and see which one is the most comfortable for you. If looking to get one used, shop around and try them out before pulling the trigger. Spend time watching videos to learn as much (yammie noob is great, fortnine is awesome, mcrider is like getting free training, revzilla has great info on gear - and please get gear, your brain is too valuable man). Good luck and enjoy the process! Be safe!

[@johnc8910]

"That’s why you see us elders on the cruisers." Not me. You can find me on my FJR1300 - if you can keep up. Maybe in 10 years or so, I will shift to something a little lighter if I find that I cannot pick it up if I drop it. Right now, though, I am only 72 years old.

@mldYou could make the argument that sport tourers, adventure bikes, and touring cruisers like the GW make up the vast majority of iron butt riders. You're friends circle is made up of sportbike riders, of course you know more people who ride on sport bikes. I rode cross country from NV to FL in November on a Shadow. Saw GWs, Harleys, BMWs, and a wide variety of dual sports. Didn't see a single sport bike. No R6s, no CBRs, no ZX_Rs, nothing. I guess sport bikes are just for fair weather riding, who knows.

@mld nanah that was just a comparison totally unrelated to this one If were talking speed its obvious which one is better Or fuel consumption Or safety Everything else is a matter of opinion tbh

It’s like comparing apples to oranges. I have a kawasaki Vulcan 1700 and I love it. I also have a kz1100 and have ridden many sport bikes. Sport bikes are awesome but so are cruisers. I would love to get a sport bike and someday (hopefully soon) I will. But it would be for around town or for shorter rides. My Vulcan will always be my go to for long rides because with cruise control and how comfortable it is. I can kick my legs up and ride all day very comfortably. All bikes are awesome and I wish I could every kind of bike. Or atleast an adv, sportbike, and my Vulcan. I made a deal with my Vulcan once when I was in Kentucky that if it got me out of there I’d never sell it.

I have to agree. For 20+ years I rode Harleys, but back in 2002 I was introduced to sport tourers. which was a huge eye opener and life changer. I then realized what I had been missing and from that point on I no longer wanted to ride bikes that could barely get out of their own way and handled like a waterbed on wheels.

*Economics degree intensifies*

[@collinholbrook4074]

The irony when the big four ALL build more dirt bikes and cruisers than any sport bike

[@primogaming69]

cos dirt bikes are way cheaper. law of supply and demand. 90% of earth's population is way beyond the "POOR CATEGORY". who can only afford a couple of 200cc-400cc dirtbikes, naked bikes, cruisers etc etc etc. you really can't consider a 400cc "SPORTBIKE-LOOK" as a sport bike. have you seen a ferrari look alike that runs like a prius? course not. so in retrospect, 900++++ bikes are the ones considered as sports bike which MAJORITY of humans on earth CAN"T AFFORD thus leading to a conclusion why bike companies create more cheaper set of bikes than SPORTS BIKES. it's a waste of investment if they mass produce the so-called-SPORTSBIKE. by the way, it's a very simple logic.

[@SystemAdministrator1]

A lot more goes into making Sportbikes

[@Texarmageddon]

Wrong the sportbike category is larger than you thank. Had you said supersport category sure... You have the following: Standard Naked Sport touring Cafe racers Put those four classes together and cruiser market and dirtbikes are about the same. Secondly, the big four primarily moves sportbikes more than cruisers. Why? The 250-650cc bikes move more than the big engine cruisers from the big four... hence why none of their cruisers haven’t seen any major updates throughout the big four

I agree. I have a 2018 Indian Scout. It looks sick (so does the Bobber model) and is pretty snappy, producing 100HP with 1133cc and throttle by wire. Granted that the R6 can produce more HP, I'd still rather have a mid-weight cruiser personally. I started riding on a SV650 and still like the naked bikes tho.

[@ferguslyons7285]

The sound and looks points are down to personal preference. As for customisation sure sport bikes can have their fairings removed but dont compare them to cruisers for customisation

[@LawlessNate]

1: Performance Holding it against cruisers that they're trying to be cruisers rather than race bikes is just obnoxious. They are two different styles of motorcycles built for two different purposes. This is basically just you stating "Sport bikes are better than cruisers because sport bikes are sport bikes not cruisers."; you're basically just restating the concept "sport bikes vs cruisers" and somehow counting that against cruisers. 2: Reliability I wouldn't say cruisers are universally or inherently less reliable than sport bikes. A well made cruiser will be infinitely more reliable than a poorly made sport bike and vice versa. Harley's evolution engine, as an example, is like a Toyota Carola in the sense that so long as you change the oil and other fluids it will just keep on going without issue. 3: Aesthetics First off, this is very subjective. Secondly, I'm willing to bet if you asked the majority of people who are not into motorcycles which motorcycle looks better, a generic sport bike or a generic chromed out cruiser, that the majority of non-motorcycle-people would say the cruiser looks better. Sport bikes look really cool and all, but a lot of what is to be appreciated about their appearance is specific to people who are really into motorcycles. Cruisers, on the other hand, have been baked into popular culture so much that even non-motorcycle-people can appreciate the looks of cruisers. Finally, the "I can take off the plastic parts to get a different loot, therefore there is more possibility for changing the appearance of my sport bike more than your cruiser!" is flat out wrong. You have significantly more options to change the appearance of a Harley than you do with any sport bike. 4: Practicality Cruisers win in practicality hands down; it's not even a competition. Doing will on the track, or going to it in the first place for that matter, is not practical. Both a sport bike and a cruiser will get you from point A to point B, but not being able to go more than an hour or so without riding starting to become uncomfortable/painful makes sport bikes less practical than a cruiser where that's not a problem. That, and there are a million and one different storage options that can be added to a cruiser so that you're not limited to what you can bring in your pockets and in a backpack like on a sports bike. 5: Variety in Engine sounds. To suggest that the different variety of sport bike sounds is superior to a v-twin's rumble is subjective. Also, this is another case where I think the majority of non-motorcycle people-would appreciate the cruiser more than a sport bike as they (cruisers) have already been baked into popular culture.

Love my kawi vulcan 900 cruiser. Never thought of getting a sportbike and I dont think I'll ever will. Great looking bikes though 👍

[@NoRegrets1283]

Sportbikes vs nakeds plz!!!

[@larryhouse2767]

I own a fz09. My buddy owns a panigale 1199. We both agree that for street. My bike is better everywhere.

[@JonsMotoGarage]

They all have their place in the moto world. For instance, you'll never look as dope as the dude rollin 12 o'clock on a dyna IMHO :) But hands down, I enjoy the sport bikes more myself.

@@JonsMotoGarage The Tiger has somewhere around 110HP I'm guessing. It's easily my favorite bike to ride, especially for 8 hour days, etc. I am not a leather-saur-ass.

Like always, great video! And it's so great to see you riding again. Ride safe. I wanted to ask if Canada has law that states that we can only buy a 300cc or so bike as our first bike? I have recently moved here from India and have 4 years of riding experience.

[@Gofr5]

Canada is like the US. You can buy any bike as your first bike. Only thing we have is tiered licenses that restrict what you can do with your bike until you have the full license, but not what bike you can get.

[@lovei619]

That's great!! Thank you!

[@88tcoupe]

That little fact about the armadillo might be true with a .22, definitely not with a .223. Not a pretty sight after getting shot with an AR 🙂

[@harrisodell8081]

Five reasons sports bikes are the worst bikes. 1. Insurance. A man or woman should know their limitations. 2. The handling sucks on anything but perfect roads. 3. Power. Most will never be able to utilize the power of anything over 600cc. 4. Tickets. “Officer, I was only in first.” “Yea, but I clocked you at a hundred.” 5. Riding position. Your wrists will eventually become arthritic. At 20 to 30 you won’t notice a thing, wait until you are 60. There are more, but it is all good.

[@steadycruising3251]

Yeah that's why so many guys and gals buy them loool

[@dancarlos1216]

Shouldn’t be riding on your wrists with any bike.

[@matthewrosado8585]

Lol...

[@-trainee-7372]

As if cruisers have better handling? Your beloved Harley will probably crush your lungs after it slips on a bottle cap and falls on you.

[@Asimo44]

So let me get this straight. You have more power than you know what to do with and can go 100 mph in first gear. You're right that's truly terrible.

[@noventaeum]

On one hand, yeah, Yammie is right. On the other, Yamaha V-Max... Anyway, have a good one.

[@johnc8910]

V-Max? Fine if you want to run light to light or bar to bar inside the city limits, otherwise, no range.

I have a max. I'll take any sport bike any day.

[@johnc8910]

Now do one why Cruisers are better then sports bikes

[@srd17ward]

Gotta love the little details Papa Yam sprinkles in the videos, like that short audio clip of the Italian anthem in honor of Lord Rossi (Italian anthem is best anthem. Suck it America)

[@randypullman1155]

Papa yam yam goes epic lol

[@dylansmith7705]

I have a 1600cc cruiser and an FZ09 so I love speed but I also love comfort. I’ve also owned a BMW sport tour bike. Cruisers have a more natural riding position than any sport tour. Also, a metric cruiser is cheaper than a sport tour. My cruiser is more practical with the large windshield and large saddle bags. You’re grasping at straws pappa yam.

[@johnc8910]

"Cruisers have a more natural riding position than any sport tour." Feet forward with your weight on your tailbone is more natural?

[@joaomota6425]

Oversimplified and bias opinion. Yam, you can make better content than this.

[@Airtouch67]

Interesting video... however I'll stick with the "sport tourer" category like my FJR1300. Gobs of inline 4-power AND the comfort of a cruiser all rolled up into 1 pretty package :-).

[@nealkeith299]

I bought a Multistrada, kinda a sporty cruiser, cause I'm 65 and disabled, failed neck and back surgery, but the upright riding position, low central controls, comfy Corban seat, best of both worlds!

Hey papa Yam, wich driving licence should an absolute beginner in driving/riding should take? Car or Bike?

[@akoni90]

I rode both, the sports bike and the cruiser, and I actually prefer the cruiser, comfortable sitting position for front & back passenger, don't care much of performance speed, but riding between 60-80 mph in a long trip is good enough. And I can carry more heavier loads.
