I think you can’t go wrong with any japenese bike the are all very reliable
exactly so don’t ride a slow honda
I think the resl difference is hondas take longer to become crusty nuggets. They tend to be nicer for longer.
Cb500f is the best beginner bike period. Yammie would know if he road one
@@maxypad3379 laughs in cbr 1000rr-r
Agree.
I’ve ridden Hondas almost all my life and I’m 65 …. I’ve never had to put one in the shop!
Wow thats awesome just shows japanese bike are the most reliable!
I'd go with Honda ... they might not make the most exciting bikes but they are generally well designed and engineered and have very good reliability, finish and overall build quality in my ownership experience.
Agreed. I personally like and enjoy Hondas but being confident your motorcycle is going to start every single time adds greatly to the enjoyment.
Honda just has that legendary reliability. They will start every time and run forever.
been a Honda boy since the beginning. came home from summer camp and there was a brand new Honda 50 super sport in Blue sitting in my bedroom.
break in period 150 miles. Check. Accomplished in our small yard in one or two days, I forget which. Yes, riding around the house will cause hallucinations if carried to the extreme. This can also be accomplished riding around the neighborhood. It just takes dedication. The bike was perfect in every way, and it had Four speeds! Magic. I could go on forever talking about the effect Honda had on this young boy from Oklahoma.
I'm 70 now. I can still ride a unicycle. Not ready to be old yet. However, I have no issue with your comparison video. I think it was quite good. Am I prejudiced? HECK YEAH! I even served a term as a parts guy in a mom and pop Honda dealership in the mid '80's. That's why I owned an XR500, CR500 and an Intercepter 1000. I have a soft spot in my heart for Honda. That doesn't mean I wouldn't love a Busa or an H2 or a 1400 Kawasaki to ride to the end of the trail.
I think it adds to the reliability of the machines, have been on a Honda in some fashion since a kid, and If that Honda didn’t take the punishment that a small child with nothing better to do can perform, I’m not sure the brand would have stuck like it did.
I always say they’ve never done me wrong, I’ve ridden and owned other brands, I rather have a Honda.
My 2 cents:
As long as you stay within the big 4, you just can't go wrong.
I don't trust kawasaki though. The other 3 are perfectly fine.
@@Oatmeal4Breakfastwhy?
I have a Honda sport tourer, a Yamaha adventure bike, and a Suzuki dual sport.
The Honda always starts and goes no matter what. The Yamaha can be a grumpy old thing that breaks sometimes, but it always gets you home. The Suzuki basically never works. It loves to break down in the woods.
…I’ll be taking the Honda to work tomorrow because I want to come home after.
I hope everyone who reads this has a great week!
Thnx bro but I don't have one😢😢
@@theanimemen2227 thats too bad, I hope you get one soon!
I've rode for 6 years and I have rode on 3 125cc bikes (I'll ignore the ZX25R I'm currently riding)
Honda Beat, Yamaha Mio Gear 125, and Suzuki Nex and I gotta say Honda beat made me visit the workshop the least and Nex made me visit workshops like once every 2 weeks
It's rare to see Indonesian in this channel.
I have a 20’ CB650R and I love it. Couldn’t ask for a better 600 naked bike 🔥🔥
A Mt doesn’t interest me at all. I don’t wanna pop wheelies. I love the in-line 4 sound and high revving nature. Tame when you want it but just crack it open and it’s heavenly
Got the same bike love it.
@@liv0003 I mean it is probably a better bike overall but it’s also not really a naked bike. It’s basically fully faired and the 2cyl just doesn’t hit the same as a 4cyl. You know what I mean?
@@nathanschlachter6612 👍
Cb650r is a underrated bike , just me being 6ft2, the cramped seating position doesn't help.
I had 4 Hondas and 1 Yamaha and that Yamaha had some issues with their fuel pumps that gave me headaches for months while the Hondas never gave me any problem whatsoever.
but the yamaha was faster
@@maxypad3379 doesn't sound like the yamaha was faster if it couldn't even run 🤷 unless you're the flash and could push it.
No the yamaha wasn't faster but it is fun to ride, I would love to get me one of those XSR900 tho!
Honda is truly the Toyota of motorcycles.
Honda is like Apple. They have a massive fanbase ready to kill in their name but haven't done anything actually revolutionary in a long time
@Matt all of the big four bikes work lol... kinda what my point was.
Couldn't agree more, Yamaha took the MTs and XSRs and produced the best or close to in every class and I'm a Triumph street triple RS not Yamaha owner.
They've tried to do revolutionary stuff. We just reject it because it's awful. DN-01 anyone?
@@yonniboy1 KTM smashes the entire Yamaha lineup every single day twice on the weekend lol Reliability is hit or miss but riding wise Austrians are on another level.Even if you spend the difference of their prices in upgrades Yamaha still won't turn out as good and at that point you'll have half the bike changed...Atleast they're cheap in comparison and reliable...
I started in cars and always loved honda. The only thing that annoys me is they prove their capability sometimes with cars like the acura integra, the NSX, and the S2000, But but they always tone it down and make boring cars most of the time.
They make solid and bullet proof vehicles that are well tuned and have so much potential. I think rhe polished perfection does get picked on as boring too much, but it is true they rarely even try to compete with the raw performance of others.
You can tell what honda is about by thier near perfect fit and finish on nearly everything they make.
Family grew up with Yamaha. When I went and bought my 22 CRF450RL they all had something to say. But so far I love the bike and have been having a lot of fun. All 4 brands are great. Hopefully Yamaha brings out a new dual sport soon. I would definitely buy it.
I've had one Yamaha and one Suzuki. Both were super reliable, never had any issues.
Only owned two bikes. First was a katana 600, good first bike. And now a Shadow spirit 1100. The Honda has proven to be way more reliable than the Suzuki. Just my experience though, im sure others have experience different results.
One was a sportbike and the other a cruiser; of course the lower revving engine is more reliable 🤦🏼♂️
@@skylerbentley8713 It wasn't engine problems it was electrical/charging and brakes that the Suzuki lacked behind in.
Honda has the only DCT options for motorcycles out of all manufacturers,,and they've had them for years
I love them for that. I wish there was a Ninja 400 DCT with ABS. That would be awesome.
What is DCT?
@@saivang9204 Dual clutch transmission. DCT contains no clutch on the motorcycle. More like a scooter. Just turn the throttle and off you go!
@@sonicmoj1 WHHHAAT??? Thats is REALLY INSANE!! I WANT ONE!! TAKE MY MONEY!
@@saivang9204 Yup!! It's awesome. You never stall out with automatic.
Yamaha is the best IMO. Every Yamaha I've ever set cheek to seat to has left me smiling and looking to find one for sale later that day. Pricing is where it should be, reliability is solid, the styling is good, and each one has an intangible quality to them that leaves you smiling.
Overpriced...No steering damper... horrible positioning. No low end.....horrible street bike. But ok for track.
@@2wheelsonly614 Talking bout the r6?Cmon everyone with honest opinion knows that in general Yamaha is the best
@@valdrinblakaj6808 not to mention that the R6 is the most winningest 600 ever. It's hilarious that he lumped "no low end" to the company that makes the R1, MT07, MT09, and MT10 😂
@2wheelsonly bro MT literally stands for master of Torque
@@valdrinblakaj6808I don’t think everyone knows that.
Yammie I still can't believe what you did
I have a 1983 Honda GL-650 that is still kicking ass. I love my Honda.
As far as fit and finish goes, Honda has it in the bag, I have a FZ-10 and a V-strom and the Yamaha seems cheap and raw in a lot of the engineering, but Honda make the Swiss like fit and finish since day one
I have Yamaha r1 and r6 fit and finish flawless, 2020 and 2021
In Greece and we love the Japanese factories for our small bikes like scooters and ducks 125 etc we also love the European factories for our weekend bikes so sometimes we have 2 motos.. Honda and yamaha are always the most reliable names in the game for an everyday bike or for work like delivery courier etc.. guys that have only one bike to do everything and lot's of miles goes for something Japanese all rounder..
I personally have A triumph speed triple 1200rs and a suzuki 125 for every day..
Yamaha for life! Pianos or motorbikes they make beautiful sounding instruments.
I was suzuki forever until I rode an MT-10. Instant buy. Mine has had the brembo upgrade and braided lines to. I've also tested the Superduke R, amazing bike but amazingly problematic, plus a think the MT-10 is more usable.
I started on a 2001 CBR 600 F4i, and have been riding a 2002 CBR 954RR for the last 3 years. Absolutely love both bikes, but I would love to get some seat time with some other makes, and newer models with all the technology
Keep the 954 unless you race it's gonna keep up with most stuff on the road I mean how often do you go faster than 170 the 954 is capable of.
1st Yamaha, 2nd Honda, 3rd Kawasaki and 4th Suzuki
Short answer. Yes. They build an almost complete line of vehicles. Even aircraft. Honda is king. Sure, Kawasaki builds massive equipment and aerospace equipment, but Honda just has it all.
Have had Gixxer 600 andHonda F4i. Currently have Duke 390, Kawasaki z125, and Triumph Speed Twin. Triumph is new, but never had issues with any. I love riding the little Z125
If I could only own one brand of wheeled vehicle it would have to be Honda. They have the most complete lineup and meme worthy reliability. It's not hard to see why they sell more than the other three out of the big four combined.
It's because yamaha left some Asian markets for more than 10-15 years which have honda a big lead on mopeds and scooters. Yamaha sells enthusiast motorcycles, not 10 million mopeds and scooters which cover 90% sales of Honda. Now tell me who leads the sales of enthusiast segment.
@@foodmaniac9339 Your comment sounds suspiciously like cope. I like Yamaha, they make some cool shit, but they can't compete with Honda.
@@boomerisadog3899 😂. Says who never rode bikes.
I'm honestly more of a kawa fan, lmao
I'm surprised Kawi is officially #4 in sales, because here in the US I'm pretty sure they would be at least 3, I'm guessing they are not as popular in Asia or Europe or maybe Latin America in order for Suzuki to be spanking them in the official numbers
I’m not. I feel like kawi is the least common. I’ve meet farrrr more people with Hondas or Suzuki than Yamaha or kawi
And I’ve had 3 kawi
Kawi is 4 because it dosen't make small bikes or scooters like others..another thing is kawi sells only superbikes in big market like india,whereas others sells 110 to 160 cc bikes and scooters...in usa kawi 3rd among japanese and forth overall after hd,honda and yamaha..
Because they're damn expensive to get in Southeast Asian regions.
Sooo these are worldwide figures... Honda sells a scooter called the Activa in India.. And they sell about 2 million of them here alone! That's what drives their overall sales
The 1% failure rate delta is almost negated by the fact Honda sells so many more bikes than the rest.
I’ve got a 2006 Honda CBR 1000RR and a 2001 Suzuki GSXR 1000. Year models and style designs that seem appealing to me even at 50 y/o, been riding motorcycles since I was 9 y/o.
I like to ride Hondas since in my book they are pretty comfortable and I like how easy they are in terms of handling and maintenance. I also did ride some Suzuki and some Yamaha bikes but when I ride one each time I feel like it´s a "cheaper" bike in terms of quality. Especially if I have to do the maintenance... it´s just each screw, each clip... feels somehow more solid. This is very subjective but I just feel better with a Honda, even if the competition may has some more horsepower for compareable money...
Yamaha for many years for my street bikes, and we had Honda dirt bikes. Love em both!
Realistically it's the big two as Suzuki are a dead man walking and Kawasaki has only ever competed in a limited number of classes lacking the variety of models of Honda and Yamaha, IMO in the last 20 years Yamaha has had by far the more exciting models such as all the MTs and XSRs.
Begrudgingly watching this because it hopefully compares the build quality of Yamaha and Honda…..But I don’t want to. And I can’t say why, but you know why, and you probably feel the same, fellow viewer
Yam.. you left out the best measure - which of the big 4 pushed the design and engineering to where it is today - innovation - I’ll watch for that vid
I own a CBR1000RR and you are totally correct! 😂
I have a 1984 made 1996 registered Suzuki GN 125 bit rusty here and there but runs and starts like its new dirt cheap to maintain and run which European and NA bikes are incapable of. I once forgot to put new engine oil it still ran for extra 500 kms without breaking down with only minor performance degrade and fuel economy loses.
Huge fan sir❤️
3:43 massive trolling and big petty 😂
I like my cb1100 I just figured out I can rev it higher than a vtwin 😂 before I new it I was at 60 with 3 gears left 😮
I've owned suzuki,yamaha and honda bikes and overall i gotta say honda is the best. Least problems with them and you can feel the build quality they put in their bikes
Yammie all the way brother.
I ride dirt and sumo though.
Can't tell you what I'd choose for a dedicated road bike as I haven't had enough interest to look around.
@ 4:35 you missed what was probably an epic shortcut. Could have got some serious air off that trailer.
I may have been playing too many racing games...😋
Kawasaki never really focus on small displacement economy mopeds, underbone and scooter where Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki are successful especially in Asian countries. Kawasaki only focuses on bigger displacement bikes as well as utility work motorcycles. They missed out on sales from the smaller economy mass markets
My 1st bike was a Yamaha enduro 100 at 13-15 yrs of age! Outgrew it got motorcycle license on a borrowed 750 maxima Yamaha! Quit riding got married wife said please no riding bikes! Had kids couldn’t argue!(20 plus yrs later!)…. Kids older one finished college…. Bought a used Yamaha R1 July! (My Christmas in July & early birthday present to myself!)
I have love & respect for the big 4! My buddy has a Suzuki Hayabusa 1300 & when I was very young a neighbor behind my parents house gave me a ride on a Honda! I rode on the gas tank!? Too little to ride on the back!
So I’ve liked Honda Suzuki Kawasaki’s(from Mad Max) & Yamaha’s all my life! I like other name brands too! Just the Main 4 have the engines I like to hear rev etc! 4 cylinder & the rare 6 cylinder Honda!
None of the other big four make a competitor to the NC750X so I think I know where I'll be staying
I have a 2016 Honda Fury that I absolutely love to ride. It was my beginner bike. I try to ride it as much as I can but the central Texas heat is crazy.
Have 2010 and ride daily. Bulletproof and a real unit of a machine.
Of course here in the Philippines, there are more motorcycles than cars because they cost less. Most are scooters with CVT. You can still fit a family of 5 on your bike and you can often get away with wearing no gear -- not even a helmet. Plus they add side cars to a lot of small bikes and call them "tricycles". And they add platforms on the back to be able to carry passengers on each side or stack products and call them "sky labs". Most deliveries, even construction materials, are done by motorcycle. Most bikes are between 110 and 155cc. My bike is a Honda Rebel 500 (471cc), which makes it officially a "big" bike here. A big bike is anything 400cc or bigger and only those are allowed on the Metro Manila "interstate" highways. Big bikes are rare here in Tacloban City, so mine stands out. My first bike in the U.S. was a new Yamaha RD250B. It was a 2 stroke and probably my favorite of all my bikes. In fact, I still miss it!
Had to happen eventually ,got through a whole show without bagging a Harley LoL
Man love my 2015 vfr800 such an unique ride
You're losing your touch Papa Yam...
But I'm glad you're still uploading new content.
I was actually thinking of unsubscribing
I've owned at least one of each besides a Honda. They just always seem too expensive compared to the other 3. I find myself going back to kawi for most things. That said I'm actually really interested in the Honda 300L to get into some trail riding.
So we just ain’t gonna talk about how on that first Honda bike, the bag on the side is an East German military ruck sack?
In my road racing years, I was a Honda guy, and that is where I started not being a Honda guy as I watched all the other companies come out with “R” model 600’s and then got teased year after year by the oft rumored arrival of the CBR-600RR. When that finally arrived, Honda never really made the best 600, always behind in the stock horsepower war. The same goes for the 1000cc class. Yeah, they were innovative with the original CBR-900 but from that point on, they always created the least exciting liter bikes, usually with the least power.
After years of being disappointed by Honda and irritated by their belief that they are so good that they deserve to charge extra for the privilege of riding their bikes, I have come to the conclusion that if Honda has one title among the title among the 4 Japanese companies, it is that of being the most overrated Japanese motorcycle manufacturer. Only Honda could come out with an actual, $100,000 road going Motogp bike and have it only produce 100 horsepower. All that being said, my dream bike is a Honda RC-30. And, Honda has made the best sounding V4 bikes on the planet. That is all.
The only thing you can take from the consumer reports is that Harley's really suck because they do not have any technology on them and they still break. Also your average Harley Rider isn't 18 years old and isn't heating it into the sun doing nooners all day. And again even without abuse the big four still come out ahead
What about the cb500r at the beginner group? With 471cc and 74 Hp ?
Hornet 919 Is the GOAT
Until it meets an FZ1n then it goes home crying
For ease of valve clearance adjustment, specifically the parts pertaining to engine timing, Honda has Kawasaki beat for being able to align timing marks. ZX6R is a nightmare in comparison to CBR600rr.
I've had 1 kawi, 2 Hondas and 1 yamaha and imo, the yamaha is the most fun. Of course the bikes varied in style and engine size, but the mt07 is the most fun I've had on a bike.
Kawasaki is the best hands down. They make the best motorcycles for everyday use.
The 600 class ended in 08. After that they were all slower in stock form lol.
i dont know in your country,but in Indonesia just a 4 stroke honda and 2 stroke yamaha still use for everyday use,most of them came from 70,80,90s era
This is a great video but i just wanna mention that reliability isn't just failure rate... the fact that Honda came in second with 12% failure rate compared to Yamaha 11% doesn't mean Honda is less reliable. Let's say that you are sadly part of that 12%. Because Honda has sold and made so many bikes, the parts to replace whatever has failed is going to be extremely cheap and working on Hondas is any mechanics wet dream because they're so easy to work on. Heck you can even do the repairs yourself because there are so many videos out there telling you how to fix almost anything on a Honda.
Remember that time you were outted as a POS? That was AWESOME!!
Any one of those bikes are great to me!! I wish I could have one of each!!! 😃❤️💪
Is Honda really the best of the big four?
Yes, either you like it or not, yes.
Honda rules! Rode a ton of manufacturers, and my two favs are the Valkyrie and VTX1800. Long live Honda!
Yikes. Of all the motorcycles, those two wheeled bisons are your picks?
Better handling , number one drag bikes and seat comfort
Yammie left out Kawasaki's failure rate... because they don't! 🤣
Have owned all big four the 84 goldwing broke stator.the 72 xs650 coils where a problem. Kawasaki trouble free Suzuki I beat the crap outa it yes needed repairs.
Have owned 4 Harleys they have been reliable over the @150k of touring. Own a triumph thruxton @4000miles so far no problem.
A mechanic told me back me back in the seventies " A Mechanical item is subject to failure."
Just do the maintenance motor cycles are a money pit that you enjoy throwing money into😅.
Had a YZ 125 2 stroke back in the day. It’s been Yamaha ever since.
I think you really should try out the CB1000R judging by how you seemed to appreciate the CB650R.
i dont think yamaha has the naked bike segment all sewn up. they have a lot of strong competition in the mt09 range, and now in the mt07 range as well with the new suzuki offering and honda hornet.
Always been a Yamaha fan.
I own a 2013 FJR1300 that has been all over the western USA (love that cruise control) and a 1984 GPz750. The FJR just . . . runs; it's almost boring. The GPz takes constant tinkering.
I wonder, why Kawasaki didn't invest much to make a liter ADV bikes, or at least make an ADV versionof their Versys? Honda and Suzuki are already made theirs, and they're going to release their 700-800cc ADV, while Yamaha was already released their Tenere World Raid (tho I'm waiting to update their Super Tenere).
What is that bike hes riding with? The rider in front of him
As much as i am a yamaha fanboy, those honda dual-sport a really tempting to me
They are super sweet. My dad has the 300 rally and my younger brother has the 450rl. The 450 is a torque monster, can't keep the front wheel down until 5th gear.
Interesting that Noobie did not put the Honda cb500 in the beginner class.
October 4th is a Kawasaki launch day for some new motorcycles. Just a heads up.
Like I would even consider a motorcycle from a company that had not even mastered the MiniVan 😳
Sad this was 9 months ago and facebook sellers still put up 30k miles r6 for 10k
My next bike will be a R6, I love gsxrs but I want to give the R6 a try, and eventually a CBR
R6 is discontinued right?....or are you going to take a used motorcycle?
Tks. much.
The best bike is the Best bike you love to ride
Love my Goldwing aka couch rocket
Suzuki is the best ever
Canadian here I ride my grom and f4i daily lol
Annnnnnnd we shift back to the Yamaha bias. LOL I joke though. Still want to ride more Yamahas, to date only been on the first gen FZ-07 and just disliked the frame set up and suspension. Hoping to change that at the demo day near me in October.
A computer guru once told me that Apple would be best for me since it was really for people like me who aren’t really into computers. I would recommend Honda in tbe sane way.
Hondas are really fun for enthusiasts aswell
While Yamaha is a piano company, they're also Toyota, the largest car manufacturer in the world. It would be insane if they weren't at least the second largest motorcycle company.
CAN YOU PLEASEEEEEE REVIEW 2022/2023 CB1000r And how it compares to yamaha xsr900
I still blame Yamaha for killing two stroke dirt bikes in the States. Also I’d rather own a Honda Hornet than an MT-09, based on looks alone. Honda originated naked Motorcycles with the CBR-400F in 1983 so I will give them their due.
Suzi is the best because of BUSA!!!
There is no debate - it's the cold hard truth.
when it comes to offroad dirtbikes and such. hands down honda and yamahammer. . . . otr. seems suzuki and kawasaki have done really well over alot of years.
I'm 125cc special.. I made it to the end.
