What do you think, should we make more videos about motorcycles?!
yes
Kawasaki!
Buell should be an interesting episode. Then do something on the Jap bikes.
Pleeeeease
Yamaha YZ
Make "Everything You Need to know- 24 hours of le mans" dude
Yes, do popular tracks as well
They have mentioned races are really hard to do because the footage is expensive, or something along those lines.
Pikes Peak would be cool too.

24 hours of lemons
A car channel making a video about the history of a motorcycle manufacturer?
A surprise for sure, but a welcomed one
i would say its a petrolhead channel rather than just a car one, but ill be wrong as well bc tecnically, they like e-cars too so...
Hello there
@@NoMercyMike626 General Kenobi. You are a bold one.
Too bad Harley isn't what it used too be , even enthusiasts confirmed it.
I'm a car guy, but bikes are also very cool
It's been exactly 4 years since you guys have uploaded this vlog about Harley. I'm still not getting tired of watching it. It is well made. 💚👌🏼🏍
Nbs 🤣 this gotta be my 4th time
@@cliffordernest7825 At the beginning of the video, James asked every viewer to let them know if they fvcked up.
THEY DIDN'T! 😁👌🏼
I could personally go another 4 years without hearing about harleys. Actually make it another 40 years. Maybe by then HD will actually make a good bike.
@@jvillain9946im a die hard harley guy and i agree 😅. I have been moving towards Indian because at least they are trying new things like the frt.😊
@@zanenevada7327not sure u know what die hard means
Why this channel is not on the History channel is a wild guess for me. These videos are like going back in time. Love them!
"it ran on a leather belt, kinda like how I used to run after I heard my dad's leather belt" I'M DYING =))))))))))))
I got the belt bro. shit wasnt funny.
I love it when a top comment spoils a joke for the video! 😊

I'm 58 yrs old and I'm impressed. Dude has potential, and is very entertaining.
I will admit, your presentation was outstanding. You definitely know how to hold people's attention!
You should make more videos.
I LIKE WHAT YOU GOT, GOOD JOB!

As a wisconsiner, the most impressive part about this video is the fact that you got the squeak right for the cheese curds. Subbed to Donut because of it.
Do t forget the bubbler lmao I was dying I'm from Milwaukee by st. Luke's lmao and the way he said Milwaukee made me die
@@Sora8112 East side Wisconsiners aren't real Wisconsiners. Water fountains are called water fountains. This post was made by the West Side gang
@@teejation1064 we all donut gang all Wisconsin is Wisconsin but it's a bubbler lmao I refuse there's a plumbing device in there called a bubbler that makes it laminar flow for easier drinking and the first one made in Milwaukee looked like a bubble
But not the sound of the engine. "Plop plop"?? It's a Harley, not Alka-Seltzer. That joke is waaay before your time, son. Ask Grandpa.
The live wire is INSANE! Test road one during their test ride events here in Austin, wouldn't let me put it in the max power mode tho, and even then it was scary fast. Good to see Harley branch out. Hopefully it isn't to late to save the company lol
$30000 though, which is waaaay over priced.
It must be a rocket
I doubt anyone will want to buy it though.
Awesome !! I just came across your channel in my feed actually and I'm happy to support your efforts and those of other fellow moto content creators. I look forward to seeing and hearing more from you in the future, keep up the great work and ride safe out there.

Do more Motorcycle Up to Speeds....(all motorcycle types)
Yasss up to speed on adv bikes!!
@@excaliburgt4537 I'd love to see an up to speed on the hayabusa, super blackbird, and zx-14
start with Honda, the greatest bike company
You got the Yamaha R series, Kawasaki Ninja series, GSXR series, Honda CBR series, Triumph Daytona series, Ducati Panigale series. That's just super sports. Then you have naked bikes, dirt bikes, dual sports, adventure bikes, Bonneville style bikes and more
@@isaiahl7727 lovely, adventure bikes
My old man has a 1979 sportster XLCH. It was nothing more than a gram on wheels with the engine scattered around the garage. When I was 14 he started working on it and almost ten years later it’s still running hard. It’s probably my favorite bike ever.
Perfect video. The pacing is incredible and the material is made impressive.
Yes, do more bikes. Make a video about rise and fall of Buell.
Awesome suggestion!!
The illestrator did that and i feel like it was perfect. Check it out. Its called The rise and fall of buell motorcycles
This!!This!! This!!
First footage: motorcycle doing a donut.Donut Media: approved lets make motorcycle videos.
I’m glad I found this video!! I’m thinking about purchasing a Iron 1200 for my first motorcycle.
I'm 22 and got my first bike last year. I got a 2015 softtail heritige it reliably got me to work (50 min commute one way) year round and still going strong only do the mantince tbh and have 112k miles on it now
I liked it. Motorcycles has the word "motor" in it so we're cool.
I'd love to see one on Ducati.
They missed some cool and uncool shit from H-D's history:
· They once bought an Italian company for like 4 years. The Italians knew how to do MotoGp-style bikes so H-D gave them money and ended up becoming effectively a two-time 250GP champion.
· Many years later, mainly due to Erik Buell, H-D tried to make a pure sportbike out of their XR750. The result? The more than questionable VR1000. It never won an AMA Superbike race.
· Erik Buell ended up making its own company (Buell), making sports and naked bikes with H-D engines, it failed but had some cool-looking bikes.
· H-D used to have a single-brand cup as a sideshow to AMA Superbike with their XR1200 muscle bike. They delivered some nice racing.
look dont get me wrong, the others are good too , but half of the 2.1 million donut media followers are because of THIS guy
If we're honest with ourselves that's true
I like the guy with a broken arm too
Nolan is honestly boring as fuck I can’t stand his videos
I actually found this channel because I watched all of Bart’s videos
I'm here for the herse-purrs, turks and to get. ... MO POWA BABY!
I wish you could've talked more about the iconic shovel head.. the evolution came after and then the twin cam. In 2017 they introduced the M8 (Milwaukee-8) the 8 stands for the number of valves, MO POWA. Nice video, the history was on point!
I had a 1975 Honda 50 Stepthru in the 90s, loved it so much, and it just kept on going. You can drive on a car license with 50cc in New Zealand unsure about the US
By doing a motorcycle manufacturer you guys just opened a content floodgate, up to speed on the Honda Goldwing.
Yooooo I'm into it.
@@giorap2625 OK what is an American bike? Harley is assembled in the US with a lot of the parts coming from outside the US.
@@giorap2625 So, Indian, Buell which is heavily based on Harleys and what else? I'm sorry but the US hasn't got that much history with local motorcycle brands when compared to Japan, England or Italy. Even New Zealand with its Britten V1000 has more interesting content.
YES!
I have a classic Goldwing, I'm turning into a cafe-racer. The modern ones are not really for me. They're too heavy. I prefer more sporty Sport-touring bikes, like the VFR800. But modern Goldwings are nice, especially the recent generation.
@@giorap2625 Marlon Brando and Steve McQueen were riding Triumphs. Honda and Suzuki were building indestructible engines in the 70s that are looking like they'll make it to their 50th birthdays (mine are about to hit 40). Those bikes are beautiful in their mechanical simplicity. None of the American brands seem to be making the entry level motorcycles at an affordable price point to bring in new riders. You can't tell most of the story of American motorcycles without foreign brands.
I'm all in favor of hyping the American brands, but most of them don't return the patriotism that I want to see to be an enthusiast on that basis. Even if they do, they don't have the market share that would make their biography relevant.
"Woodstock happened! *_Supposedly..."_*
That made me laugh harder than I should.
RonanNotRyan Yeah, that was the best joke of this episode.
Over 50 vids and the mo powa keeps me coming back. Keep it up :)
wow hats off!!! hell off a mini documentary. I've seen many but usually fall asleep. this was really informative and entertaining.
Board racing was insane, no brakes just a kill switch, winners would get up to 25k. The crowds that would gather were insane, 100,000 spectators. What a sport.
i would have competed if on a honda
Hell yeah. What a time.
Goes to show you dudes been after “Mo power!” for a long long time...
I’m guessing you were at one judging by this explanation. So if that’s the case how does a person over 100 years old know how to use UA-cam?
After inflation thats about 750k today
Noot a caaaar.
Wait, wrong channel.
Joking aside. Hell yeah more motorcycle videos.
But but but..

It’s ok if it’s not a car.
He has to strive for “the better”.
This was very well done. Thanks so much for a very clear presentation.
The V-Rod, the only Harley that has actually decent power, brakes and handles the slightest, no wonder it wasn't popular amongst Harley riders, says a lot about the buyers tho
The Vrod handled like shit and was ugly as sin. I know lots of Harley riders that would like a fast, well handling and braking Harley. They were going to make the Bronx but of course, like Buell, they kill off anything that people might actually want lol
@@jonnymac8925 every Harley handles like an unergonomical bucket of rocks, the vrod was the best handling Harley ever made ever. And it actually was powerful/accelerated fast-ish unlike any Harley ever. Also Harleys are all rather ugly to be fair. The only Harley that would be kinda cool would be the new streetfighter if they actually pull it off without going bankrupt. I mean Harley is literally just a status symbol. In my mechanic life I had too ride too many of them to like any of them unfortunately
@@factoryrider9537 lol the vrod was not the best handling Harley, the FXR and XR1200 take that. The vrod has no lean angle and it sits too low and has horrible ergonomics for twisties. I also told you, they already killed off the Bronx, the Bronx was the Streetfighter. They are however still making the 1250 custom which will have the same 145hp liquid cooled vtwin that the Pan America will have (similar motors to the Vrods, these are the Revolution X models, the Vrod being the revolution). There is also a new liquid cooled vvt Sportster in the making since they don't pass emissions in most countries now. The best handling Harley is the XR1200, and almost any Sportster could outhandle the Vrod. Yes, they were quick in a straight line, but that's about it. Also, 99.9% of people like the customization options for Harleys,there are lots of Baggers, Dynas, Sportsters with some sweet suspension and brake setups.
I bought a Vrod and I love the thing! It’s everything I want in a bike!
@@jonnymac8925 i belive he is talking about sporty behavior and not ergonomics
I would definitely not mind motorcycle videos. I enjoyed this one a whole bunch!
Also get well soon Jeremiah!
Really did me a bamboozle...

@@zeke2095 so... science garage | how babies work?
Harley: We want to appeal to younger buyers!
Also Harley: Lets price our motorcycles so that only boomers can afford them.
For real. How many young people can buy a motorcycle the price of a car?
your kind of right i thought they were pretty expensive but it seems to only be the big twins that are really expensive went into the Harley shop to get oil and looked over a 2019 sportster 883 with about 5 delivery miles and sticker price was only 8k, and to me that does not seem to bad. however when i looked at the big twins i was like holy s**t. but to say all of them are the price of a car is inaccurate. the 1200 was just under 10k as well. i have no desire to buy a big twin as they are way to heavy for me. i own a 74 sportster 1000 xlch that has had a lot of motor work. bike weighs about 370lbs without me on it.
Harley Davidson will fail. Bankruptcy will become their friend
@@Rob_Nasty like they said harley davidson has been through worse they will pull through that is why they are making three new bikes.
Not really true, they do have some models that cost $7K at least but I do agree that they are not the Harleys that you are thinking about.
Bought a 2009 Softail night train edition absolutely love it. Guess I might be an exception then since I bought when I was 27 just turned 30 this year
New to the channel, love motorcycles and Up to Speed. Gimme more!
Definitely should do an up to speed on Indian motorcycle
I agree!
Heck ya

Absolutely, he did a great job about HD. I'd like to see his take on Indian.
Great Job, looking forward Triumph, BMW, Ducati, and the great big 4 of Japan.

Y2k as in the jet engine bike ?
Do one for Buell baby! I have some footage of mine I’d love to send! I have an 09 Buell XB12R
For those of y’all wondering:
Eric Buell partnered with Harley in the past for their motors. Buell had extremely interesting frame designs especially when it comes to their gas tank design. Built v-twin motors 1203cc higher compression and stronger internals, air cooled, sport bike. Badass bikes
"We've never done a motorcycle before so let us know if we fuckes up!" We all know you guys neeeever mess things up. Y'all are too great for that.
They missed some cool and uncool shit from H-D's history:
· They once bought an Italian company for like 4 years. The Italians knew how to do MotoGp-style bikes so H-D gave them money and ended up becoming effectively a two-time 250GP champion.
Only American company to ever do that.
· Many years later, mainly due to Erik Buell, H-D tried to make a pure sportbike out of their XR750. The result? The more than questionable VR1000. It never won an AMA Superbike race.
· Erik Buell ended up making its own company (Buell), making sports and naked bikes with H-D engines, it failed but had some cool-looking bikes.
· H-D used to have a single-brand cup as a sideshow to AMA Superbike with their XR1200 muscle bike. They delivered some nice racing.
I'm not a H-D fan, I don't like the brand and 90% of its products, and I still know some important stuff they didn't mention. Also, they never mentioned the XR1200 muscle bike, which is the most "normal" bike from them.
As someone who lives by Milwaukee, you won’t hear people talk like that until you get about 5 hours north into the nort’ woods 😂
Measuring distance with time. A classic wisconsinite. 😂
i felt the bubbler part tho
that's still true
It's just up nort. Out in the back forty.
The Wisconsin accent and references were spot on. Love it!
One model not talked about all too often is the XR1200 Eric Buell designed it. From experience not too much work needs to be done to it and it'll pace an R6 till they reach 3rd gear then zoom they're gone. Look it up beautiful bike.
As a Wisconsin resident that works at HD, this is a 100% accurate representation of Wisconsin culture
Mopowa?
Why do they sound like they speak with exaggerated Minnesota or North Dakota accents?
We don't
Oh yah, I put cheese in my coffee so i have a little melted toffee curd on the bottom, But i never heard anyone speak that way.
Brendon Herdt the accents are a little ridiculous tho. Us city folk don’t talk like that.

KTM! I had a 65cc KTM dirt bike
Mini Cooper Nation my first bike will be a 125cc KTM
yamaha is the best,
first to ever put 5 valves per cylinder
James P. Is at his best in this one. I had a 51 pan head , a 71 shovel head , a 100th anniversary 88 , now on a Street a glide each were ridden many miles… the only time any if my hogs leaked oil was after factory service ?
Should have kept them all lol
I like the way that Honda opened their Goldwing factory in the USA to beat the import tariffs as , for a very long time, that's where they were all made. Hardly Davidson has become the clothing company that makes motorcycles. Hardly Davidson the only company where you buy a motorcycle then spend just a much ,if not more, to get it to go properly. Also Marlon Brando rode a Triumph in that movie.
Up to speed on Kawasaki Ninja's would be pretty good
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!!!
Nah they haven't sponsored donut yet. Harley is trying so hard to save their asses that they sponsor everything they can from X Games to apparently UA-cam channels. Their company is really hurting because no one wants to own one.

Yet after 117 years, they still haven’t figured out how to make a gasket that doesn’t leak
Fargonian Productions and the heating prob
Vineet Kashyap yep
😂 LOL’ng!!! It’s Tradition! Dude. You just put a piece of cardboard under the bike when it’s in your garage. When you’re out - you allow it to mark it’s territory...
Good joke
Well I have a Sportster and a Softail and they've never leaked, just sayin'
if Harley would have embraced Buell - they would've been relevant to a younger crowd long ago.... but they didn't.
Yep I love the buells learned to ride on my dad's years ago. Gotta Suzuki SV now. Love the twins.
The xr750 could very easily be made to evolve into a street bike and dual sport, scramblr look is badass now
Glad someone else agrees with that. They wanted Eric Buell to make bikes their way. If they would have gave him full creative support Buell would still be Harley Davidson's super sport brand. I could only imagine what he would have done with the Livewire.
Always had the same opinion. They were badass when they first came out. I've always loved v twin sport bikes, I was in love with the rc-51, Ducati, Buell back in the day. You just can't beat their sound. Harley would have been unstoppable if they'd embraced Buell from the start. I still really want one, never had the chance to get one yet. I had a 96 fat boy when I was young, and when Buell came out with their bikes, I was like holy shit this is my dream bike. A fast harley.
If buell had put a conventional front brake on the XB12r race bike at the Daytona 200, McWilliams would have lapped the field and won handily, but as it was the crew couldn’t change the front wheel without a almost lap each time.
I venture that if they’d won that race Harley’s (and potential buyers) opinions of their sport bike would’ve been different
Buells are quick and torquey and had tons of innovationsthat got the center of gravity pretty low, like oil in the swing arm, fuel in the frame, exhaust and suspension completely under the bike.
Buell is an amazing thinker in terms of performance and function, his EBR bikes were pretty amazing too. But perception of American sport motorcycles is pretty narrow minded and short sighted.
I have a 1996 Harley Davidson sportster 1200 evolution. I'm currently repainting it while I wait for new throttle and idle cables.
Love the motorcycle content.
Would love to see a video like this about triumph, Norton, and royal Enfield.
Wasn't expecting this.... I like it.
