I started on a 390 and now also have a V4 800. Strictly engine, the 800 always just accelerates till about 260kms. The gearing is also longer and displacement bigger, so I decide what gear to be in.. Ofcourse your refering to racebikes, so those will be different. More extreme? Torque varies.
Seen what the Stuntfreaks Team put their K5 Gixxer engine through, and how it's held up? Thing is like a nuclear cockroach. It never dies. They should make a dystopian Mad Max movie around the thing.
Not 1 issue are you sure ? K7 K6 are famous for the oem rectifier flop, it's installed in front of the radiator. Gets overheat and kill your battery. Other than that it's reliable.
@@henryairconcepts2999 No issues. Replaced the coils and rectum fryer at 50,000 because they are just old. I'm also almost never above 9k rpm, nothing is working too hard.

My 2002 fireblade has been such a reliable machine. Damn I love that bike! Would like something newer someday, but I don't care about the tech upgrades. Plus, she is in phenomenal condition at 22 years old!
Can confirm everything you said about the gsxr1000. I bought a used 2011 with 9k miles for 7k off a buddy. Long story short a month later I had a $3,000 repair
Original Aprilia/Rotax v990 60° Vtwin. Owned 3. Currently have a 2001 rsvr track bike with 22,000 miles. Valves never needed adjusted on the 2 street bikes. Sold those 2 street bikes with over 70,000 miles. Not as powerful as a modern liter bike but I've never been enamored with 200 horsepower specs anyways. Similar reliability to the suzuki sv650. I had a Vstrom 650 with 67,000 when I sold it. The notes from all valve checks showed it never needed a shim from the previous owner.
Great Video Thx for it , the focus here seems to be on newer bikes with huge power numbers most people don't need on the street to get to Grandma's in a hurry , almost any litre bike or above built from like 1980 in japan are very reliable an go faster than you want to try to duck under a moose on , hard to fault a busa for a single guy to take a road trip on really .
I personally like my bikes with a lot of electronic aids, with the understanding that such electronics make the bike considerably less reliable but far safer. Insurance companies, who presumably keep detailed statistics on this type of stuff, give you insane discounts if you have ABS. So while older bikes from before circa 2016 can be reliable, they're also quite difficult and dangerous to ride.
I bought my first big bike two years ago, a Ducati Monster 937cc and although the engine gets too hot too fast in Lisbon I just love the bike and can’t think about another brand anytime soon.
Off topic but I just got my A license in Europe today. I started watching this channel like 5 years ago and it took me a while (knew that if I pass the exam I will buy motorcycle) because I was trying to be reasonable. I think I have enough knowledge and I am mature enough to start riding. Mostly thanks to you Yamm. Thank you for all the tips. Gonna get a Duke 390 next year :)
I have a 2021 Duke 390. I love the bike but doubt you will choose it over others.. Test ride it first, buy used. Try other bikes, too. You have an A license.. Are you sure you want a 390?? 😅
I started on an MT-07 with my A license as well and already thinking to upgrade. Get yourself something used, which you can limit to A2 level (48hp) and remove the limiter as soon as you feel very comfortable. Otherwise you will be jumping around bikes like me... :D
Speaking of reliable Yamahas.... the MT-09 and MT-07 get turbos in Australia and get beat on by a stunt rider, ripping off rear tires, doing dank noonies. They hold up fine. The -09 makes twice the stock horsepower and holds up fine.
I used to work for a motorcycle wholesale dealer and we got in a turbocharged ZX14 with nitrous one time. Completely built engine as well. The thing is, you couldn't ride it across the parking lot hardly without fouling a plug. It was wide open or nothing.
i know an fjr 1300 isn't known for being sporty, but it's one of the most reliable bikes and has surprisingly good performance. 100k mile bike easy with routine oil changes.
Incorrect, only Multistrada V4 and Diavel V4 don't have desmo valves, but Panigale V4 and v4r and Street Fighter V4 do have desmo valves; the name of the engine is literally "Desmosedici Stradale."
Very nice video! However a rockform mount + case ruined the camera on my iphone due to vibrations from the handlebars. They sell vibration dampeners now but I’m not chancing my new phone on that. Apple is aware of the issue and they won’t fix it even if your phone is under warranty. Buyer beware
The cbr1000rr were the same from 2008-2016. The 2017+ is the same bike, but with rider aids, and minor engine upgrades. I have a 2021, and it’s the best way I could have spent $15,400 on a sport bike in August of 2022. I’ve put every single one of the 19,000 miles it has on it, and it hasn’t missed a beat. Almost 20,000 miles in less than two years is tough on a bike.
@@thagingerninjer5391 Sometimes it can call for earplugs on a long spin but it’s worth it for the pops on downshifts and coming down from high rpms 👌🏻😄 Mine still has it cat converter in…I actually can’t imagine how loud it would be with a full straight through exhaust 🫣
I can't believe you forgot the Honda Blackbirtd. You can't kill these things, in europe people are getting around 200k miles from what I've seen. And mine is just amazing. You really should ride one.
Yep, 650 Kawasaki Ninja engine from 2006, few changes over time but basically the same. That MT-01 ran the Yamaha Road Star Warrior 1670cc engine. I have that thing some rips for a time when my brother used to own one (Warrior). I later went for a Demo on a Yamaha Raider with the 1854cc bigger engine. It was a much smoother, more refined, bigger torque engine. Such a shame Yamaha didn't continue it. Used market still has plenty around.
06' FZ1 flash it to get the lower gears to awaken. 66k miles in, 3 valve checks, all still within spec. I'm starting to lose seals and coils around the engine, but that baby just purrs on.
@@exothermal.sprocket No, at least not that I'm aware of yet. That being said, I live in a very cold climate, and change the oil every winter regardless of use.

I'm thinking of getting a Royal Enfield Himalayan for my first bike cause I don't have to much money and I'm wondering whether I should get the regular Himalayan, the Himalayan 450, or wait for the guerilla. I know that royal Enfield may not be the best bikes but anyone got any thoughts? Love the videos, and i hope there will be a video covering the royal enfield guerilla when it comes out
Please stay away from RE if it's your first bike. Look at something like XPulse 200/CB200X or KTM Adv 250. You will be much happier with any of these machines rather than a RE.
My recommendation if you're considering a new RE would be to just get a used bike, something with middle mileage will not need a lot of ongoing work, will hold it's value better, and just feel less cheap than an enfield. If youve ever touched a nice bike an enfield will just feel a bit like a walmart bicycle in terms of build quality and component feel.
Buy used. I'm not thrilled with my India built KTM.. If you want an RE, get an RE. Though the spec sheet loses me at the door. First bike, buy used. Save your money for the bike you really want.
Cheap and reliable, that's me. Good bike, I wish, yes KTM is in Uganda now, but with the price of the 200 I can buy a plot of land in a good location and even kick off construction.
Do not get a 2008 and 2009 cbr1000rr as the plating on the walls did not hold up in those years and causes it to burn oil that, if left unchecked, can cause oil starvation and explode.
There is no recommendation without knowing the driver. Measures of driver should fit to the bike for safe handling and comfort. Always wear protective clothing. The first motorcycle should not be too heavy. Always get on and off the bike with the side stand extended. If you accidentally drop your motorcycle, it is not amusing. Over and beyond, a lot is a matter of taste.
The Panigale / Streetfighter V4 engines have water pump seal failures every (avg.) 7000mi. Not Reliable, and too big of a cost to formally place a recall. I’m on my third water pump (under warranty) on my ‘22.
TLDR: Any fast Japanese bike. Addition: Some fast european bikes. My pick (I'm a vintage enthusiast): Air cooled sports Guzzis and BMWs from yesteryear. Just make sure you don't buy an abused example unless you are good with your spanner.
So you put the new blade in here without actually knowing if it will prove to be reliable or not, so you're just guessing and then you voided the warranty? Also, did the GSXR1100 just not exist for you of something?
I stretch that power band on my Ducati sport pro 1100 and it never shows any indication of failure. So smoothe and responsive but not like flying on a rocket going to space 😂
What do you mean? All bikes unless they are the odd DCT like a goldwing will basically have the same manual transmission, 6 speed. 1 down , 5 up typical shift pattern. You can get GP shift kits which I personally think feels much better which just reverses the shifting, so 1 up , 5 down . So essentially , yes . They are majority all the same

Hey im in uk and am thinking of getting one of the 350 enfields as a first bike when i actually have money. Would you reccomend this or should i try to find another? Do i just get a low capacity sporter just for more reliability? -I like the look of the meteor, -Dont care for speed theres a track 15 min from my home(want atleast motorway speed), -I lke the meteor but dont want a cruiser, just something old looking but not old if that makes sense.
You recommended a 2008 cbr1000rr? The bikes that notoriously, along with the 2009s,burn more oil than a total loss bike made in the early 1900s? Okay..
Most of them, at this point, have been fixed, or they wouldn’t have lasted this long. The 2008 had crank issues, and both had oil consumption issues, but they’re non-issues now. They’re great bikes. They went from 2008-2016, though, and didn’t have issues after the first couple years. I have a 2021, and it’s the exact, same bike, except for the electronics, minor engine specs, and fairings.

Wasn't there all kinds of engine issues on the 2008 cbr1000rr?
Yeh I heard they burned oil, used more oil than it should.
What u think of the Honda VTX 1800 yammie?
Need one of those 😃
Hey im in uk and am thinking of getting one of the 350 enfields as a first bike when i actually have money. Would you reccomend this or should i try to find another? Do i just get a low capacity sporter just for more reliability?
-I like the look of the meteor,
-Dont care for speed theres a track 15 min from my home(want atleast motorway speed),
-I lke the meteor but dont want a cruiser, just something old looking but not old if that makes sense.
Someone else wanted a Himalayan... Find more answers there..
First bike buy used!!!
go for interceptor 650
I have 2 K1200 GT BMW’s and it’s a good balance and over 40,000 miles and still rolling
Hi Yammi, can you still win the MT-09 outside of the USA?
Yammie should I start out with a used or new bike
Used. It's not going to be your forever bike. Save money.
Hey yam would you know what will they replace gsxr1000
wait, I am confused. in the recent video you added ducati scrambler to list of most unreliable bikes. and here it is also in the list of reliable ones
Why does Yammie never acknowledge the ZX14R?
The GSXR1000 is the only beautiful modern Japanese superbike. I wish the fireblade was better looking.
R1,ZX10R....
@cyanus7347 they look really good but I think the suzuki is close to the level of a ducati or mv augusta.
Ducati and reliable 😂😂😂 is the best joke I heart
My friend has that gsxr750
The best 600 that isn't a 600.
high performance and reliable.... WHERE ARE THE HARLEYS?!?!?
Way out on the fringe, selling t-shirts and leather jackets.
Broken down on the side of the road after being out preformed by a sports bike that never got out of first.
"Turbo Busa is the most reliable bike ever made"
Only here for the nod to my K5 gixxer and validity in my selection lmao
What about suzuki (gsx s1000)
Probably the most bulletproof 1L engine there ever was.
Suzuki engines are bulletproof 👍
You recommended a 2008 cbr1000rr? The bikes that notoriously, along with the 2009s,burn more oil than a total loss bike made in the early 1900s? Okay..
Most of them, at this point, have been fixed, or they wouldn’t have lasted this long. The 2008 had crank issues, and both had oil consumption issues, but they’re non-issues now. They’re great bikes. They went from 2008-2016, though, and didn’t have issues after the first couple years. I have a 2021, and it’s the exact, same bike, except for the electronics, minor engine specs, and fairings.
Not going to lie, I'm surprised you make good words about Kawasaki.
I miss my K7 so much😰
Too bad Honda Blackbird never makes the list. Champagne bike at beer prices
