The Bolt was nice, but really quiet and surprisingly underpowered. I'd ride one, but it wouldnt be my first choice. Now, when i rode the 48, i giggled like a child the entire time. very comfortable ride. And i WOULD buy one if i could afford a cruiser. I'm a sport bike guy, but i loved the harley.
I have a Harley 1200 Roadster, full suspension setup, Screaming Eagle add-ons and had the gas tank upgraded to the 4.8 gallon. Mine dyno'd out to a little bit more, but close enough. I've always been very happy with a Harley in comparison to similar bikes from Honda and Kawasaki. Plenty fast enough, rides and handles very nicely, for short to modestly long trips and really does get close to 50 MPG. I never rode the Bolt - only Yamaha I've ever ridden was a speed bike and I have to admit that was pretty incredible. Fast as hell and held the road incredibly well.
Hey man, I stumbled across your channel and I was like this guy is hilarious, and then I checked how many subs you had thinking you had like a million or so, but you only have 1500 o.O make more videos of these man you're gonna get far! You're one of the funniest motorvloggers i've seen.
please do more reviews, never had such a laugh while watching a bike review and still learning something. you really deserve more subs man, keep it up!
Both are good bikes but the Yamaha bolt is built to be the 883 Sportsters competition and it out runs and performs the 883 fairly well. All that aside I haven't seen any big bore kits for the bolt where you have more way more options as far as engine mods go for the Harley. I love the look and style of the bolt but I would take the sporty all day long over the bolt
Keep it 2, That was a fun review. I'm glad you pointed out the whole shock, no shock thing on the 48 so viewers know. Other than that. It was funny, accurate and informative. - An Harley Iron 883 rider Great job!
Mate, that was a fantastic and run comparison video to watch! As a Harley rider myself I found myself laughing more than once in there, top video mate!
Yeah all good mate, it was easy to see you were having a bit of fun. But we do live in a day and age where everyone feels entitled to get offended by nearly anything for no particular reason!
Harleys have two things that are the reason I ride one (I've had several actually, after buying a used Sportster 1200 I never even considered a Japanese bike again) They vibrate like crazy, and they make a beautiful sound (with the right pipes) NO Japanese bike does those things. So as long as they don't, I will stick with H-D.
@BigMonkeyGrip and thats totally fine with me, im happy that you are happy.i like every kind of bikes from old to new. i was just pointing out that HD is NOT build in the US (wich is a shame in my opinion)
They are both good bikes, the value of the bolt will drop more than the Harley but the bolt has better reliability and you can work on it yourself without taking it to a shop.
Loved the review. Couple of points I would have liked. Price comparison and which would YOU buy with your hard earned if you had to pick one. Keep up the great work :-D
@@zer08927 Since u are going to mod it and all i just wanted to ask you, can u install Vance and Hines on a bike like that ? Or is it just competiable with the Harley Davidsons ?
Harley’s are overrated and everyone has one....Bolt is much more reliable, easy to customize and easier and cheaper to work on...Harley you just pay for the name
It's also worth noting that the 48 in this video has performance upgrades over stock (stage 1 air and exhaust with possibly tuning) which accounts for about 10-15 more HP and torque over the factory fresh model. This lessens the power gap between these two bikes considerably.
+James Battaglia The bike has an aftermarket exhaust system and was tuned with TTS master tune on the dyno. The tuning results showed a 10 HP gain over stock. You're correct.
I had a stock Sportster 1200 for a few years and yes it was a nice bike. 4 complaints: would need to choke it until I'd already got to work, man was that thing cold blooded, tiny fuel tank considering the bike was not light, and the bike was not light. Took a huge bath on it when I sold it considering the mileage. Harley's cost about $1 per mile just in depreciation.
It surprised you that a Japanese motor was smooth and refined - that suprised me. Great review. First time I've seen your channel, must binge now. Good day
Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed all the "observations" about the Harley's shortcomings, as well as it's plus marks. The Yamaha sounds like a fun motorcycle, but it is a frickin CLONE. Yamaha has it's own genuine designs that don't mimic other maker's products. I own two Triumphs (both 21st Century editions), and a slightly used 2012 Harley Sportster which matches the description you gave, but is a slightly different model (XL1200V), with a 21 inch front wheel, and baby ape handlebars. Am already looking into getting a bigger tank so I don't have to fill it up twice a day. Keep up the good work.
bjorn1583 they actually had to call the factory and tell them to make me some! The rims were about to be discontinued, maybe they moved the factory or something though? Who knows
Dude your editing skills and humor are fuckin awesome! You deserve a fuck load more subs. On bumps you gotta kinda hover your ass over them because well... yeah you found out hahahaha
First time ive seen your channel. Cracked my screen punching the "subscribe" button. Great content! Im excited to dive into your vids! 2:154:20 😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭
Sick looking bike and sounds good... but don't think I want to ruin the chances of having kids after one ride :D love the reviews you make FUNNY and knowledgable content... keep them coming!
The Yamaha is nice but it don’t hold a candle to that HD’s look’s, those cheap stamped gas tanks on the Yamaha look very cheap, and can we keep broke back mountain out of the equation when we are talking HD great video thanks for posting
Haha dude you are hilarious loved every bit of it. I just found your channel and subscribed right away after watching this video Keep up the good work Ps: your videos remind me of top gear
I a Harley owner and Honda aanndddd Kawasaki. I love them all man! But usually you'll catch me on the Harley. They're just raw torque and the thudding exhaust gets in your blood. Dig.
I don't care what anybody says, the Iron 883 and the 48 look the part and I'm not a Harley fanboy by any means. Japanese cruisers might be cheaper and possibly more reliable, but they def. don't have the looks in my book. At the end of the day, ride what makes you feels happy and free.
I watched this video when it first came out, and every time i feel irritated or pissed off, I watch this again, and I tear up at the Chinese imitation bike part. Easily one of the funniest videos I have ever watched on youtube.
this is the first video I've ever watched of this guy.... and let me just say... I haven't had a laugh like that in a long time (in a good way) this guys voice over is fucking hilarious
Dude, you dont know what vibration is until you ride a solid mount sporty. Ive rode mine well over 100 miles at one time. I dont even notice the vibrations any more.
My Harley, ignition module quit. I called an independent shop. He already knew what it was. Let it sit bout 20 minutes, it started and I took it to him. $170.
I watch this video again and again for the Hungly Dangvison 1200 SPEED ROAD.
Cracks me up every time.
Glad you enjoyed it man
Should have been spelled hung lee
hahah yeah that was funny
Hungly SPEED ROAD!!! 🤣🤣🤣 It wouldn't be funny if it didn't have some truth to it!🤪👍👍👍
Dude, you're flippin hilarious. By far one of the best comparison vids on the tube. Thanks for it.
Thanks man! :D
Seriously dude, you should consider making more review and comparisons videos. Indeed, you're that good ;)
That intro man hahahha
Watching this in bed; laughed so hard I farted on my wife. Fantastic work!
John Wicks Pencil 2 years on, hopefully he will confirm this
Lucky it wasn't a wet one!

Great job!

Mate, that was a fantastic and run comparison video to watch! As a Harley rider myself I found myself laughing more than once in there, top video mate!

Yeah all good mate, it was easy to see you were having a bit of fun. But we do live in a day and age where everyone feels entitled to get offended by nearly anything for no particular reason!

Idk about buying either of these bikes but that was hilarious! Excellent review.
LoL, man that was really a good one, "You wanna be a prospect in a non-violent biker gang!" Great work Hammy Moto!!
At first I was reminded of Back of the Y. Well done sir
Harley made everywhere but the USA but we attached the wheels and handle bars in the USA so we can Slap a Assembled in the US sticker on it
I loved your review! Super funny and accurate. Thumbs up!

Awesomely funny review. You made my day bro.
Haha dude you are hilarious loved every bit of it. I just found your channel and subscribed right away after watching this video

Ps: your videos remind me of top gear
The 48's dyno numbers are way better than they should be for stock! The bike's clearly been decently modded up - torque is up 15%, and HP is up 25%
This is so amazing... well done.
