TRIUMPH ROCKET ROCKS!!!
Im very short and need a bike I can hold up. I like Hondas 250s-Im wondering what u think about a street legal bike for us ladys
A good beginner bike for someone who is getting into riding! You should be able to have both feet on the ground and be comfortable with the weight. Good choice!
I own the new Ducati XDiavel Dark, just turned 1,200 miles on it. It is an incredible motorcycle and scary fast, it handles and stops with absolute precision and is a blast to ride. I am in love with it!
Coming from 30 years of riding Harley's.
Thanks for sharing. Glad to hear that you have found a ride that suits you perfectly.
I understand you like it but the problem is the Rocket 3 is the same price that's a no-brainer rocket all day long you getting way more for the dollar with the rocket much more fun to ride maybe not as good handling for way more bike for the dollar
I have no problem with your bike the problem is the price at that price the Rocket 3 is 10 times the bike your bike you might as well get a Concord 1400 with an extra nine grand in your pocket
Today we are taking a look at the most recent changes in the class of muscle cruisers for 2022. Which of these is your top pick?
AMAZING VIDEO!!
I'm first to comment
Probably sportster. You can't go wrong with it, it's a classic.
Benda LFC700! Cheapest, looks nice & inline 4 power! Makes sense! 😉👍
Thanks for being here to early. Which of these is your favorite?
My favourite is the Rocket 🚀 because I own one…….
It’s….. incredible
That's awesome!
It looks bad ass
Fat tire & loud pipe - American dream.
0:30 we're "mostly here for window shop" haha ur speaking some damn truth
How did you like this window shopping session though? Got a favorite to share?
Great bikes. Love when you do motorcycles
Glad you like them! Which of these did you like the most?
the best motorcycle i have noticed likes to run
The Harley is still just a Harley. The R18 has zero leg room. My buddy has a triple and it's a great bike. I have a k1600b- Amazing
That xdiavel is still awesome
Your favorite of them all?
No it ain't not for the money Rocket 3 hands down and before you even say anything go for a ride on the Rocket 3 and then ride that Diablo see which one you like better rocket hands down bone crushing Diablo you might as well get a Concord 1400 with an extra nine grand in your pocket
I love everything on the HD, except the big fat wheel on the front!
so nice & beautiful
HD Sportster S loving it!
Is it your favorite option in the class?
Always love Harley D. 👍
Which of Harley models is your favorite?
@@automotiveterritory sportster...
Nice choice!
Thunderbike is cool......
Although that Chinese bike has a lot to offer at that price point ...
Gigantic engines yes but also styling and ride performance. I put down a deposit for a Scout Bobber here but Spirit Lake are having real problems re getting stock out and I’m in NZ. Looks like an order I placed 2 months ago won’t be with me till April May next year! Even so there’s work to be done on this bike re exhaust 2-1 (stock sound not good and shocks and comfort seat) all at an additional $5000.00 NZ.
I don’t think I want to wait that long as this summer here will be over by then May 2022. I am seriously now considering the Diavel X but I’m just not convinced about the front end as to me I think it’s ugly. But the power is undeniable. The new Harvey Sportster looks ok but I’d be up for fat boy over that. I’ve driven and owned fast cars and it’s just typical that when I want to get back into the saddle I can’t because stocks globally are flat lining. 😡😡😡
Maybe build my own? However once again....parts.....components.Etc
Hey! I'm your daily viewer. I love your videos.
You're amazing.
Hey, thanks! How did you like this lineup?
@@automotiveterritory I love it
Really glad to hear that!
HD Sportster S,
Love the bike hate the pipes.
Is it your top pick in this class?
We are here to window shop that hit me too hard😂
That's cool. Which of these is your fave?
@@automotiveterritory BMW R18 nordic style
Great choice!
It all depends on you style of cruising ..I'm a Harley rider and I cruise across the United States often... Harley dealerships have always stood behind their riders. I choose all Harley models..they definitely have kept up on their R&D. ..
Which of the modern Harley models do you fancy the most?
Diese BMW ist wohl das Coolste was man seit langem gesehen hat, der Motor noch Motifieziert mit Wasserstoff aber BMW hat sich trotz der mit besten Ingenieure die man bei der TU und in München findet für den Strom entschieden. Dann mal Ehre wem Ehre gebührt, das ist in der Bauart immer noch Harley Davidson und danach kommt erst mal lange nichts , dann noch mal die USA mit der Indian und dann auf Platz drei diese BMW. Also wenn BMW etwas kann, dann Motorrädern bauen. GRATULATION.
Nice vid 👍 well i noticed harley is failing to produce higher BHP from smaller engines unlike italians !
Beauty and amazing motorcycles, saludos from Guanajuato, México 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Cheers to you too. Which of these is your top pick?
@@automotiveterritory BMW r 18 pero siempre amaré las Harley Davidson 🏍️
How do you only get 90 hrs pwr out of almost 2 liters?
Harley's engineering ;)
Where is Indian Motorcycle? The Chief? The Scout? The Chief and Scout bobber? And Because of the Sportster.. Where is the Indian FTR? - The rest of the bikes are great!
Where is the 2020 HD/FXDR ? This bike is real HD engine (M8) and advanced frame for speed and lean angle.
I want to see someone hanging onto a Triumph Bobber at 170mph(290kph)?
What is going on nowadays with the SINGLE disc brakes up front ???
Only the Sprtser S made sense, in the way that it has the exhausts high enough in case of heavy rains. Also a second seat would have been perfect.
Speaking from experience: you can plow through flooded parts of streets where the water is above the exhaust. You must stay on the throttle.
Yes, you can ride low pipe under water, just need enough exhaust power to keep clear,which is not difficult. Stay on throttle and light on the brakes through deep water.
@@take5th air cleaners matter too. I still have the stock air box on my Street Bob with the inlet only towards the top on the back. I wouldn't be so brave in water if I had a wide open air cleaner.
I like your video’s, they show non average bikes. However, it is hard for me to understand the voice-over. Perhaps trying to speak slower would help to make the words more understandable.
Triumph rocket for me please!
Great pick!
cant wait for that bmw r18 nordic
Good video. I do not think FXDR and R18 are muscle cruisers, both are at approximately 80 hp at the rear wheel ...
Fair enough. But at least the styling matches, right?
The torque of the Milwaukee 8 is what gets it in the muscle cruiser list. If they’d offer the 131 as factory option instead of dealer option it’d jump a few places with 125hp & 135ftlb at the rear wheel
@@automotiveterritory Yes it does
The xdiavel Lamborghini is absolutely no doubt beyond anything else in this video. I mean what a fucking masterpiece.
This Italian collaboration indeed rocks
I am very impressed by the H-D Sportster S ! I love the design changes for this iconic bike ! It looks like a great muscle bike! This is a wonderful video that shows the variety of powerful muscle cruisers ! However, the H-D bikes can get a bit pricey on the upper bike lineup. This is not to say that these bikes are not worth the listed price, for I believe if you want one of the best, invest in the best ! What a great video watch for all the facts on these magnificent muscle bikes! Amazing designs on all these featured bikes ! Great presentation and information. !!!
Thank you. Is the Sportster S your favorite option in the class?
@@automotiveterritory Yes ! I really like everything about this bike! I think H-D hit a homerun with this bike!
It is getting a lot of positive feedback indeed.
Dqdqdqd+
HD Sportster S, its just a Fat Bob 114, modded and with no bag local. Its a Crap Fat Bob. Only this.
Lol I work at the factory making the Harley Davidson Sportster s. There are a BITCH to put together. But the craziest thing about them isn’t the bike itself. What I find crazy is that they’re overall weaker and slower than the Pan America dirt bike lolol. I think it has 20 less hp AND it’s heavier.
Seriously tho, those dirt bikes are BEASTS
Edit: yeah they have the same torque, but the dirt bike has 150 hp as opposed to the Sportster’s 121hp. Buuuut the dirt bike is $5k more expensive so I’d just go with the already badass Sportster lol
Thanks for your hard work. Can we hope that Sportsters will be masterfully assembled by you? ;)
I think the new HD Sportster S is a nice new bike, but let's be real, it's a Sportster in name only. It's nothing like any traditional Sportster. Nothing. The Iron and the Forty-Eight are really Sportsters. They are Cruiser class under-square pushrod air-cooled EVOs. The Sportster S in the Sport class. It's an over-square, high revving, liquid cooled, canyon carving bullet on wheels, and forget about any 2-up riding. Totally different machine in every way. The "legacy born in '57" spin HD is putting on it is BS marketing to try to convince people that they are modernizing. I think that they could have achieved that better just by giving the brand new model its very own new name. One thing is certain, nobody is going to call the Sportster S "a girl's bike".
I love them all, except you did not include INDIAN Motorcycles, the pioneer cruiser.
Which new model do you think fits this lineup?
Benda looks great
Is it your favorite of them all?
What happened to the vmax ?
Not new enough. Here I listed the Freshest models
is Indian scout bobber not worth mentioning?
A bit lacking on the muscles side
All these hype with muscle cruisers and their horsepower figures,
And yet no word from Yamaha about their LEGENDARY YAMAHA V-MAX.
Atleast Triumph still makes and updates their iconic Rocket III
From what I hear it’s discontinued now. VMax that is.
This just in: Liberty Lanes bowling franchise to buy Harley Davidson.
👌👌👌
Where is Suzuki Boulevard?
I´d always rode Harleys...For almost 40 Years now and still got a 2004 Sporty and a 2007 Softail Deluxe.But when it comes to actual new bikes,it would be just the BMW R 18...Maybe the Bonneville. The rest ? Sorry,no way.But at the age of almost 60 it seems that i am just too old fashioned.
Let's call you not old fashioned, but rather sophisticated. Ride on!
Although I ride a Milwaukee 8 Softail I’m preparing to trade it for a Rocket 3. Seems to beat the Harley on just about every front but aesthetics. The rocket isn’t much to look at but since I plan to sit on it not admire it from a distance, not a deal breaker. Lol
Have you already test ridden the Rocket?
@@automotiveterritory I haven’t had a chance. Looking forward to a test ride.
Those floating rear tail lights/number plate mounts look awful.
What model are you referring to?
@@automotiveterritory Every single bike fitted with one, not just those listed here.
They're a lazy option for designers who can only be bothered to do the front 3/4 of a bike.
Gotcha. Thanks for the feedback
Bmw Nordic for me.
Great choice!
I really wish they'd stop making motorbikes look like Star Wars pod racers. I wouldn't buy a single one of these. I don't want to look like some kind of Tron larper.
I just dont get how you can have a 1900cc engine with only 90hp?
What do you think would be the fair output yield?
@@automotiveterritory well seeing as most other manufacturers are pushing the 200 mark fom a litre, 90 is like a 400cc from 2002
exposed "carda" on the BMW is BIG dangerous. ridiculous wayu of design. its a CNC behind you lags...
Thornton Hundred Motorcycles Bobber best!
Nice choice!
For that kind of money I can keep the bikes I got and buy a used AIRCRAFT!! (already got watercraft)
What model would that be?
omg, this guys voice...
Magnificent, right?
@@automotiveterritory annoying AF
No Moto Guzzi
I question your taste
Forgot the Indian .. 😂
Only a small portion of the bikes in this video are cruisers at all... Many of yhem are simply naked bikes. Im not throwing shade on any of the bikes listed, but if you're going to make a video about "Muscle Cruisers", you should actually make the video about muscle cruisers... Bikes like the Diavel are not cruisers whatsoever. You also left out one of the best performing actual muscle cruisers on the market, the M109R.
I hear you. However, which models do you think would be more suitable for this lineup?
@@automotiveterritory I would start with what a muscle cruiser is: akin to American Muscle Cars, you have a cruiser, whether metric or American, that has performance pushed to the limits where it's almost impractical. The 2 greatest examples of this are the M109R with 125 BHP and 160 ft/lb torque and the Rocket 3 with 165 BHP and 163 ft/lb torque. The only other production muscle cruiser I know of anymore is the VRod. In the past, we had bikes like the Yamaha VMax and Yamaha Raider alongside the Honda VTX 1800.
Long live Milwaukee v twin and I don't know why BMW made a easteregg of their ugliest grill from M3 in renard
The harlys have no place on this list
repeated BMWs ducatis and Hds, but no one Yamaha or Suzuki…no good.
Which Yamaha and Suzuki bikes do you think would fit this list?
@@automotiveterritory If you don't know than you shouldn't be making this types of videos. VX1900 & M109r ring a bell?
Those are old. This list is about the newest muscle cruisers and neither Yamaha nor Suzuki have released new models as of late
Commentator ruined this video for me...
"Pure horsepower"
Oh dear.
What wording would you personally suggest?
Why are you showing one off bikes you can’t buy?
This video is not a buying guide but a roundup of interesting models and news.
Cause you can buy them...they're out there!! Save your pennies!!
Wow...so much 'trash bikes' with
Лайк!
What is so hard about compiling some stats ? What a mish mash of crap !😎👍
Thanks for the feedback. We welcome you to join UA-cam and compete with us
The "Sportster S" which has no connection whatsoever to a real Sportster, is the TRASH bike on the list, and hopefully the final nail in H-Ds coffin.
Which of the models do you find to be the most exciting?
I rather like the new H-D softail with Milwaukee 8. Worlds better ride than anything else in the Harley line up. I do wish they’d offer the 131 engine as factory option instead of making it an over priced dealer install option.
@@chrissmith7669 A huge part of the Harley riding experience for me is the "Harley shake" Without that I'm not interested. Might as well buy Japanese and save a fortune. It makes no sense to me to pay Harley money and not get the Harley experience.
@@geraldscott4302 I like the heavy uneven thump of the Milwaukee 8 power plant. The kind of vibration that shakes mirrors loose and leaves my hands and butt numb not so much. If you don’t have the thump you may as well get the sewing machine smooth BMW K1600.
@@geraldscott4302 totally agree, couldn’t have put it better myself. Owned 5 Harleys, Dynas mainly, and then had an M8 “softail” Fat Bob. Sold it within 4 months, great bike but Harley it isn’t. Swapped it for a Fat Boy Lo instead. Much much happier
BMW R18
Is it your favorite option in the class?
You should get someone with better voice to speak
I'll take the BMW R1250R and put fatter wheels
Not bad
¿What about Indians?
Harley davidson 11.7 lt? Its a joke!
I have never seen uglier motorcycles ...ever ...all of these atrocities turned my stomach
Which motorcycle class do you prefer?
Not just that, half of them will not get to 1000 km without breaking down like the one made in china crap.
Not even 1 Indian? LOL
What new models would you suggest adding here?
@@automotiveterritory That's your job buddy. You're the automotive expert lol. You found the one made in china haha. Indain Motorcycle has been around for a long time. Try looking it up.
Well, Indian doesn't make any muscle cruisers, that's why I'm asking
L
SORRY , DON'T LIKE ANY
What kind of bikes do you prefer?
@@automotiveterritory anything is better than your list.
