I owned a Kawasaki Versys 650 for years and never had any issues besides normal regular maintenance. I drive around 20.000 km per year. Your statements are completely false.
@@nexii1479 exactly, as well as remarks for dl 1000/1050. these engines are like 20-30 years on market with small upgrades and huuuuugggeee availability, and in spite all that he allowed himself to make this vlog. disaster...🤢
I am riding Versys 650 2015, without any problem until yesterday. Your survey sounds like there is no more Motorbike left to ride in the market. A false, misleading video.
Hard to believe, Suzuki VStrom 1050 XT and GSX S750 hit the list?! I had the GSX S750 and that bike is an absolute beast, no issues for 2 years and just normal regular maintenance... not convinced on the list here.
yeah this all sounds like a crock of crap to me i have a 2018 gsx-s 750 with 104000 kms without a single breakdown and its not bad on gas at all the power is good its a bit snatchy but anyone with any riding skills gets used to it in about an hour
The content of this video is total bullshit. I was the brand's responsible (worldwide) for drive train issues for one of the listed models - and believe me: I know exactly its typical problems. Which are not what is shown in this ridiculous video. Annoying to find "quality-videos" like this here. 💩
That throttle complaint can only be test riders coming from carburettor to fuel injection. After an hour the instant throttle response is learned and liked.
I' ve been a s1000 xr owner for 3 and a half years and none of reported issues have ever interested my motorcycle. Beyond that BMW has several assistance points near where I live and is very serious with warranty.
I have an xr. Best bike I've ever owned. I've ridden it in the canyons, and cross country. Like riding on a cloud. Its been reliable. No issues under 10K miles. And it drives like a jack rabbit. I just rode a 1300 gs for two days and actually think the xr is more tractable. I did have the seat rebuilt as BMW failed there- $400. Added engine protection. Denalis. Crash bars. Luggage rack. The only thing I wish BMW could do is design the bike to lower the suspension at 5-7 mph. I don't have the BMW required 34” inseam. At speed I'm fine. Starting and stopping takes strategy.
Same bro. I've owned 20 different bikes in my days and my XR is by far my favorite. I threw some headers and a tune on it and now it's a absolute weapon in the canyons.
Suzuki v strom, OUCH !!😊 . From what planet are you From 😅!!!!?? By the way to compare this bike to a Tenere 700 ,showed how deeply your ignorance is., comparing two bikes that are intented for completly differents uses ! Wake up !
Well, there's at least SOME truth to this list.... Notice how not a single HONDA appears on the list - that's accurate. If you want reliability. Buy a HONDA.
Yep, Honda's are almost always outstanding for reliability, and most jap bikes are generally very good... surprised a Kawi is no1 on the list. 😂 Doubt it's deserving of that ranking tbh. 😮
I know plenty of bikers with Hondas that have had nothing but problems with them. It's always a gamble, regardless of make/model. Nowadays there is no such thing as "unreliable"; as the tech is so common. If you want to buy a reliable bike, just pick the one you like and hope it wasn't built on a Friday (in the west), or a Saturday (in asia).
I’m very sorry but you appear to have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Stop readings things of the internet and then trying to advise people like us who actually know a thing or two!!!
I own a Suzuki V-Strom 1050 since 2020 and use it as a commuter on a every day base and a tourer for day trips and even on longer journeys. According to my experience I must say: what you state in your video is utterly wrong. The bike is reliable, sturdy, has great and stable handling, has a really low fuel consumption (tested 3.8 lt/100 km on a day tour, 4.5 lt/100 km while commuting), a torquey and revy engine and a good building quality. Electrical or electronical issues? Never! To be fair I don't use it as an offroad bike but it was never intendend to mess around in the dirt by Suzuki. It's more a crossover bike in a enduro outfit but riding on gravel road is no problem. Check out the reviews on their 1000PS UA-cam channel and what they state corresponds with the reality I experience. I hope for the future you will research for your content with more care.
My colleagues own 1st 2nd and 3rd model Versys 650 with no major problem. I myself bought latest spec Versys because now it got TFT meter..😅 current milage is 36K km with just wear and tear replacement and regular maintenance..Wind protection issue? Just replace with higher aftermarket windshield, and you good to go...
This is where the owners of these motorcycles come out to complain and if it is true, many sides have released the same study and these motorcycles are bad. I was the owner of a Cersys 650 and a Duke 790 and yes, that is true.
I have a Suzuki VStrom and is a much better bike than my previous Triumph Tiger and am extremely happy with it. It’s made in Japan so It’s hard to believe its bad quality. Totally wrong this list!
You people have NO clue!! Just looked at another video supposedly from consumer reports that said that the Kawasaki versus 650 was almost perfect bike! Now this video says it’s a POS. Y’all are incompetent.!!!
The KTM 1290 has a sh*tload of problems and is not an alternative to that BMW. That is such a crazy alternative!! KTM has gone into receivership due to reliability problems of their bikes.
En video de la S1000XR,al final has puesto la imagen del primer modelo,el cual si tengo entendido que si dio problemas,yo soy propetario del segundo modelo por dos años y va perfecta,en mi grupo de salidas hay otras cinco mas del mismo modelo y no he escuchado quejas. Un saludo.
Yall i been riding , rallies and been around bikes all my life, eeeeeverytime we go on a ride (tri-state) or cross country ride the guy on the harley is garanteed gona cut our ride short, every single time wel have to stop, rent a hotel room and wait days til he gets his bike fixed, out of 20 bikes, usually 15-25 of us ride a spring and fall ride,eeeeeeverytime the guys on Harleys and only them every single year are the ones that kill our vacation, been riding all my life im 42 and cannot simply understand why anyone not mentally ill would buy a harley? $43,000.00 for a over weight, under powered, ugly as hell bike? Lift the seat and it says " made in Kazakhstan" wats up w that? A harley is as made in america as you are made in mars! Eeeeevery year harley gets a government bail out check to keep them building bikes, in other words our hard earned money has to go to that pile of crap company, wat a joke
Making these extreme claims implies your need to provide the source of these fault claims. Too many people appear to have owned some of these and experienced no problems whatsoever?
Some of the bikes listed definitely shouldn’t be on this list namely S1000 XR after 4000 miles since July absolutely no issues best bike I have owned just think this video is about attention seeking statements in order to sell your sponsors goods
Sounds like a hit piece - no mention of a Himalyan 450 recall over all of internet land. And, at least in my area, dealers are sold out on each shipment - I'd need to order and pay a down payment 2-3 months ahead if I want the one with tubeless tires. My conclusion is that you are full of horse manure.
triumph rocket GT, i doubt " no one buys" , it is expensive bike, however expensive parts are proportional to the overall cost of the bike, failure in electronics is there across all the bikes, yes this bike resale value is almost half and people in their 4-5 years of usage or probably less to get rid of the bike, one time i see an bike with 6 owners in 4 years, however this bike is a monster in no doubt.
i have a 2018 i bought brand new 104000 kms like 65000 miles and not one engine breakdown tires and brakes the usual, hell even the original battery the throttle is abit snatchy but takes like an hour to get used to i alkso have a 2024 gsx8r about 6000 miles on it you cant beat japanese reliability
Sorry mate,your survey is completely false.

Definetly fake as no harley is on the list

What dribble is this? Can't even pronounce names correctly? Get better AI mate.
So much incorrect information in this video. Suggest you do your own research when purchasing.
Interestingly, no Honda bike in there. What is Versys 650 doing on this list? It is a legendary bike and a must have.
Suzuki v strom, OUCH !!😊 . From what planet are you From 😅!!!!?? By the way to compare this bike to a Tenere 700 ,showed how deeply your ignorance is., comparing two bikes that are intented for completly differents uses ! Wake up !

Yep 100%
I have a Honda Crossrunner (V4). The build quality is outstanding. Lots of stainless steel instead of cheap painted bolts etc.

Das einzige, was hier schlecht ist, ist der ganze Bericht!
Fake news.
I’m very sorry but you appear to have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
Stop readings things of the internet and then trying to advise people like us who actually know a thing or two!!!
"KTM SuperDuke is a more reliable option to a BMW" said no one, until now.
A few of these entries seem suspect. The Suzuki 750 and the Kawi Versys seem like two of them as well as the Suzi VStrom.
Where did they get this data? Never heard any of this before....

Agreed. If you want a reliable, tough dependable machine this bike is hard to beat. Low fuel consumption is an added bonus.
As a motorcycle mechanic, this is false!
No HD on this list?! It is strange.
This video is totally wrong
After this l see this chanel is bu...t Suzuki's is simple bikes but realibity is highest...750 is bulletproof..
In 1992 owned a suzuki GSX 600F....OK when going but would never start...drove me crackers. Had lots of big hondas since..no problems
Buy the bike that you can afford until you can buy the one that you love. All bikes has problems and qualities.
False information... never believe this video. Guzzi owner here, bike had never had any kind of problems
What a load of false information on the BMW 1000 XR it’s just faultless had to stop watching 😡
One thing is don't trust consumer reports. Consumer reports opinion can be bought.
You are mistaken. Consumer reports is a non-profit.
What a BS about Ducati Diavel 1260 S . Mine is from 2019, never had any problems.
I can't get the 15 mins back of my life watching this.
I guess having a British-sounding synthetic AI voice makes it sound legit to the gullible who buy this nonsense.
In my country Malaysia,ktm 790 and gsx 750 very good selling
BMW was rated the worst a few years ago.
HUH??? BMW XR1000 is more UNRELIABLE than KTM 1290 ???? HUH?????

Nobody listens to consumer reports for motorcycles. Even for cars/trucks they suck.
NOT GENUINE
This is where the owners of these motorcycles come out to complain and if it is true, many sides have released the same study and these motorcycles are bad. I was the owner of a Cersys 650 and a Duke 790 and yes, that is true.
Yeah, I'm unlikely to buy any of these motorcycles, though not for the reasons given.
The title is wrong in itself. If no one buys them, how come there are consumer reports... Wouldn't you have to buy them to be a consumer? 😅
Wield logic like a Samurai
I knew this list would be BS when he started with the C50 which was an amazing starter cruiser
I have a Suzuki VStrom and is a much better bike than my previous Triumph Tiger and am extremely happy with it. It’s made in Japan so It’s hard to believe its bad quality. Totally wrong this list!
I owned a suzuki boulevard c50 and it was great.
im disagree with your reports..i owned kawa er6..suzuki gsx..n z1000 they havent give me issues.
All BMWs are all bad the bullshit buy.
Versys 650, vstrom 1050, gsx-s 750. No problem with them at all
There may be 17 on the list but the gsx750 took almost "how many minutes" of bashing hehe

no way😮😮😮
No Hondas on the list I see
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂This list is absolute BS. Looks like whoever made it just used a random list of bikes.
Made by AI with lack of research
