Why are all these mt09 videos being reuploaded?

Best bang for the buck is the new Honda Hornet 1000 SP with 155hp and amazing handling according to all the reports. For 10 grand in the UK and similar pricing elsewhere it represents amazing value.

For the road a twin or better still a triple [ like their old air cooled 70's 2 strokes] would be fantastic. I'm sure I read somewhere, not that long ago that a Kawasaki Mach 3 was in the works. Now, the original Mach 3 was an evil air cooled 2 stroke 500 triple. Make of that what you will but that sounds too to good to be true. Others are saying it's for a new off road moto- cross bike of 125 or 300cc capacity which would be cool but nowhere near as cool as a performance sports road bike. I guess time will tell.

I understand where you're coming from, bro'! I bought a new 2022 Yamaha XSR900, kept it for three months and 500 miles, and sold it to a good buddy of mine (who loves it, BTW). Like you said, the bike just didn't make me eager to jump on it. The 900 just had too much immediate power to casually putt around; the seating position said, "Let's go 65 mph" and the motor said "Let's go 90 mph!". And I'm not a newbie intimidated by the power - I've owned a Yamaha FZ-1, a Suzuki Bandit 1200, and a Kawasaki ZRX1200. And here's the kicker: I bought a 2023 Yamaha XSR700 to replace the XSR900. I personally find it much for fun to ride and wring out in the twisties!

This video comes off as whiney. You like other bikes, that’s fine. Don’t try to justify it by saying how scared you are of the power and speed. The wind issue is valid given it’s a naked bike.

Excellent! Merci!!

Kirk, keep up the great reviews. Plz, review the 2025 Moto Guzzi "457" when it lands in the states. Also, the 2025 Aprilia Tuono 457 when it lands in the states. Greatly appreciated.

I'm planning to ride my air wheel luggage scooter to south Miami heights, can't wait!

JUST when I thought I was sold on the Yoshi... the Graves titanium does look great and sound good!!

Great content! I have been sold on the Yoshi for my zx4 for some time now I just wanted to wait a little bit closer to spring to pull the trigger but idk if I'll be able to wait now :) also I just looked at the law about red lights in Florida that sucks you can't run! here in Virginia, it is two cycles or two minutes whichever comes first before I can go ahead and run it.

A turbo charger doesn't sound right - the whole idea of a 2 stroke is simplicity. I'm sure it would have been done 50 years ago if it was a good idea.

Just "hear say" IMO. The reason why a two stroke can't have "forced induction" is because the boost will just blow out of the exhaust port. A totally different design may prove me wrong,---but only if produced for retail. Keep in mind, the high costs of bikes today (due to EPA force), has heavily damaged market share, as KTM just figured out. I think reality is, the Japanese bike manufactures are tired of being pushed around by the likes of a EPA dictatorship. Good for mankind.

Hell Yeah!!! kawasaki was the last manufacturer to discontinue 2-stroke roadbikes in my country (as late as 2015 with the kr150) and the prices on those things are starting to appreciate like crazy, i would love to see another 2-stoke sportbike from them again!

Trading a softail slim HD in for one of these. Nice bike but im board with it.

The Graves titanium muffler looks way better than the standard carbon muffler from Graves.

🥷 ❤

As much as I love 2 stokes they are really no good for the street but they are awesome for off road in my opinion

More than likely dirtbikes 2 strokes won’t pass emissions tdy

Well, I don't think Kawasaki has ever made a scooter. At least none I've ever seen. As far as Japanese brands go I'm only familiar with the stuff Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki has made. So I don't foresee Kawasaki making a scooter all of the sudden just to stuff a turbo'd 2-stroke in. So this sounds like a motorcycle engine to me. The only other practical thing I can think of that they'd put it in would be a SxS similar to a Yamaha YXZ1000. I wouldn't mind seeing a sport UTV powered by a 2-stroke.

Forced Induction!

wooh shit, i need it already

It sounds like they are using the turbo more as emissions device to get more air into the cylinder to be able to run a much learner oil gas mix.

Have the Graves carbon/ti version and it sounds like a full header system on my little ZX4RR, such a fun little screamer!😎

Kawasaki S2 350 Two stroke triple for a win, 500 and 750 too much for average rider. Thats why 750 was called a "widow Maker"

Interesting how well they kept this under wraps.

As much as I thought the yoshi fit that bike better than the coffman. The graves looks that much better than the yoshi. Fits that bike perfect. Like that it’s a cleaner shape instead of skinny to fat. And love the black bracket.

Ring ding ding!

The Chinese motorcycles are really getting a lot better and affordable for beginners

My first 'big bike' in the UK, back in 1998, was a CBR400RR and it was amazing!! Handled like nothing I've ridden since, fast(ish) had 65bhp , it got stolen from out of the front of my house in 1999, I cried myself to sleep that night :-( I've ridden everything over the past 30 years, but today, I went to see about a ZX400RR and I'm putting down my deposit next week :-p It'll be like going back in time, when 400/4s were everywhere in the UK, only this time, i'll be one of the only ones with one

Beautiful color

Air cooling 500cc please, no 180° twin 😊

Oh yeah great vedio..I like all motorcycles 👍👍👍

Good looking bikes more than likely decent build...but damn they are gonna have to change the names to something that sounds bad ass..I mean Napoleonbob ..😂 chinchilla..lol

I've been watching your channel for a while now and wanted to ask what schooling or training did you do to been able to do all the bike and car reviews? Being able to travel all over the US and to other countries. What you do for a living has been a dream job of mine since I was a kid. Your honestly the reason why I'm thinking about getting the new ninja zx4rr. Love the content brother.

Yamaha: I got the latest version XSR700 on a good deal in late 2023. All the bike I need but ultimately not the one I want in retrospect. Wish it had better suspension and brakes but if you’re down for the cp2 and looks, then the upgrade in the 2025 MT07 might address what the previous iterations lacked . Honda: I’d totally get CB650R over any bike on this list. Just ticks all the boxes on price, performance, features, reliability, ergos, and looks. KTM: Almost bought a 790 Duke but I hate KTM’s scheme to pay extra to access features already on the bike. Also KTM’s optics not looking so good lately. RE: The Bear650 would be the only RE id want. It’s gorgeous except it’s heavy and down on power. Suzuki: if you’re gonna mention the sv650 then gotta talk about the gsxs750 and its value in this segment but it’s long in the tooth. Kawi: z900 wins on technicality. Triumph: the speed 900 is heavy and slow but the trident looks good enough. CF moto: love the direction the brand is going. Time will tell its reliability so Idk if it’s the best investment.

For such a premium brand its a bit disappointing that it looks like they cheaped out and just stuck in a smartphone display in place of a usual speedometer. Imagine how much better that screen would look it they were customized to fit the shape of the dashboard. Im also not a big fan of its boring layout, very little personality in the GUI. The display alone having these problems is enough for me to reconsider and go with the traditional speedometer on another model.

I’m actually looking forward to this chinese brand of the trail 125 from CSC! I’m willing to fork out a few haha

Shoot, I was hoping the updated CRF300L were announced...guess we're waiting until March for those. Also Honda, please give the US market the CB750 and 1000 SP if you are giving it to the Canadians.

The trail 125 looks like a postie bike.

Fantastic name Benda. 😂

Well am northern Ireland and mine is the same bike and no ECU flash and mine is 78 hp

I bought a ‘24 XR150L last month and am loving it! Been using it almost daily to get around NYC. The power is fine for me because speed limits here are relatively low, and the suspension handles messed up city roads well. For my use case it works great. With the trail125 costing almost $1000 more than the XR, hard to justify its value. More of a scooter at motorcycle pricing imo, with the XR being the opposite depending on how you look at it.

Love how the trail looks but pretty expensive, definitely a scooter alternative being semi auto. I’m torn between the Grom and Rebel but that mystery 300cc could be the one.

The demographic for a bike like the Trail125 is most likely beginner riders so the semi-auto will make it more accessible to a wider range of people. It's clearly not a track monster, just personal transport and nothing more.

Bends is trash

Harley is a Chinese company at this point. What did they expect when they sent part production to China?

Sorry but I would rather drive a gocart made of wood & a 2 stroke engine by some kid in their dads garage before I even sit on a Chinese brand bike. Chinese brands blink in and out of existence so often that there's 0 accountability

Heard of them... the bobber looks amazing. Im open to buying new brands.

Do you find the Graves to be too quiet?
