8:49 This is of course completely subjective, but I think the CB650R is a great beginner bike. I got my driver license last year at 36 years of age (which is pretty late I guess), so it was not too long ago that I had to look for a beginner bike. After first having driven the Z650, ER-6N, SV650 and a MT07, I chose the CB650R as my first motorcycle. If you stay below ~7000 rpm, it does not overwhelm a beginner and you can't really do anything wrong (unless you drive like a complete idiot). As soon as you go above ~7000 rpm though, it feels like someone swapped the bike while you are riding. The engine screams and the whole bike starts to pull, the character of the bike really changes. So: If you want to drive carefully and get to know the bike first, ride the CB650R up to like 7000 rpm. If you feel more comfortable and want to feel it pull and hear it scream, just ride it to the redline. A screaming 4-zylinder is a feeling, I don't want to miss from now on.

Yamaha for sure. I’ve had a YZ250, FZ8, and MT07. The MT line is enough to win it for me. All of their cross plane engines are fantastic. They’re the only Japanese manufacturer still making full size 2 stroke dirt bikes. Yamaha is easily ahead of Honda. With all that being said, I bought a Triumph last year and I am now an official Triumph simp

It’s easily Honda for me. Cars. Bikes. Atv’s. Lawnmowers. You name it. There isn’t a single manufacturer that has done more for motor sports, as a whole, than Honda. I was never a fan of the r6 or r1. Riding position is uncomfortable for me. It was the same for the ninjas up until the 2010’s. Gixxers and cbr’s have just always fit me better. The triple r is a better bike than the r1m. I like the way my 2021 cbr1000rr looks, as compared to the r1. It’s slightly less powerful than the r1, but the majority of us will never capture the true potential of any of them, so being a couple percent more capable on a track is irrelevant. I’m eager to see how the hornet compares, and the word is that they are completely redoing the cb1000r, so it competes more with the naked bikes being produced right now. Pretty stoked to see what they come up with.

After so many years of riding motorcycles, I believe that Yamaha is the most European, Japanese company out of the big 4 (Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki), with the reliability of Japan. Honda makes good bikes that are human-centric, Suzuki unbreakable engines and Yamaha bikes that excite the real rider with the way it handles and performs. I hope that in the future the European manufacturers will produce even more reliable motorcycles and the Japanese more European ones... Sorry for my bad English

Honda sold that many two-wheelers partly due to them being extremely successful in India and other South Asian and South East Asian countries. Honda sells a shit ton on Activa scooters and small capacity motorcycles like the Unicorn, the SP Shine, and the CD110 here in India. Their CB160R was one of the best selling bikes here in India and their original 150cc Unicorn, which brought the concept of a rear monoshock in Indian motorcycles way back in 2003, is considered a legendary bike with many of the original models (with spoke wheels, a front disc brake, and a rear drum brake) still running around in either beaten up or in pristine conditions. They are so big, that they come very close to the volume that Hero Motocorp sells. Almost every India motorcyclist has sat on an Activa or Unicorn or Shine or CD110 at one point in their lives. When it comes to two-wheelers for the everyman, Honda is too big to fail.

I think Yamaha wins for exhaust sound, makes sense since they also make musical instruments. Especially for their 3 cylinder engines they borrowed from old Triumphs, the Rocket 3 is more about huge torque from huge pistons for a motorcycle to quickly wear out the back tire, with the engine looking like an old 4 cylinder Indian from the 40s.
@KeViNMCMXXCIX Жыл бұрын
I think you did a fine job explaining if someone was cross shopping these brands for motorcycles. There ain't no bad bikes, else they wouldn't be sold. It's true some manufacturers motorcycles do require more maintenance or more frequent maintenance. And the Japanese will always have high reliability since they built them like that and they sold heaps throughout the years. As for newer naked bikes of just these 2 manufacturers, I agree that Yamaha has more to offer in way or torque and more daring looks with the MT line. However due to being really common in Europe as well, I choose not to go that route. They sound awesome, ride better then ever as I heard then the earlier ones. Hence I agree with Yam with the popularity of the MT line for a decent price as well. I took all my lessons on a CB650R from 2020. And the 4 cylinder was such a joy to learn on and a fun peppy motorcycle as well. Aesthetic wise also hit the nail on the head for me. Easy to adept to as well. Rode a Z650 a several times as well, and it was definitely more vibraty compared to the Honda's, but a little more pep down in rpms, as it is a P-Twin. Pricewise MT's are still quite high in price compared to other mid sized bikes here in The Netherlands (all brands used market) But I will definitely ride an MT to try out and more brands as well. Looking back to all years I think they both did a fair share of nakeds which are still a common sight. E.g. Hornets/ Fazers and FZ's for just these 2 brands. Include other brands and there's a shit ton to choose from. So much fun! Can't wait to see other comparison vids. See if I can guess correct whichever "wins" since there ain't no bad bikes.

Honda for me. I love Yamaha and my old R6. But Honda makes smooth motorcycles that have a more “solid” and “premium” feel. They just have this “do everything right” feel that is the reason most people find them boring. They make models for every category of bike, and Honda has one of the most complete and diverse portfolio of any automaker in existence. Like they build everything from lawn mowers to a private Jet (HondaJet). Also, Honda really puts money into tech that matters (and is reliable), and the Goldwings are one hell of an achievement, along with the CBR1000RR-R

Have been waiting for the 2023 models to come out, I really like the CB650R and put my order on Jan. 11 at 6:30AM about 5 hours after the Powersport web page was updated. I took the Idaho Star Motorcycle class and will take it again when scooter is delivered. I need lots of refreshers, in I 1965 bought a new Honda CB100, had it for 3 years. Hope it is delivered before the end of February that is when I turn 80, wish me luck.

Honda for looks, Yamaha for performance. Either or is good. The closest to a minimoto from Yamaha is the Tdubs, so Honda still edges them out for me, but the TW200 is still fantastic.

My first bike that wasn't a Briggs and Stratton was a 68 Honda Mini Trail, followed by a 79 CM180 with knobby tires, followed by riding my dad's 74 XT500 around the streets at 15 years old. I would have trouble picking one over the other. Yamaha really needs to make another XT with a decent amount of displacement though.

You totaly left out Eddie Lawson who rode for both Team yamaha with Roberts and later Rothmans Honda. Valentino Rossi also did a swap from Honda to Yamaha.

T7 is a game changing bike based on cost vs utility. Generally agree as owner of 2022 Tracer 9GT (no mention? more than one nod for bike of the year in 2021) and a T7. Yamaha kicks ass. Thanks.

Yamaha definitely wins the cruiser category with the V-Max hands down. Middleweight class goes to Honda only because Yamaha stopped making the R6. Liter bike category is kind of a toss up between the Fireblade and the R1, ultimately I think Yamaha wins though because the Fireblade is so expensive. Naked category goes to Yamaha with the MT-10 and it’s beautiful cross plane engine. I man who doesn’t want a naked version of the R1? If Honda would just get its performance up just a little bit on some of their models they would dominate in every category hands down. Not sure why they choose not to

For me it's Yamaha 2 stroke in the dirt and Honda 4 stroke on the road.

Realistically people just buy whatever model they feel like for their next bike even if it goes across brands like if you’re just done with your CBR and decide to go to the Street Triple then when you’re done with that decide you want something more comfortable so you go to cruiser and get an Indian Scout etc I haven’t met very many real people that are obsessed with one brand and are obsessed with only buying that brand.

I worked at a multi line dealership for years. The order goes Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, Kawasaki and then the euros. Honda was the biggest headache for my service writers to get them to warranty anything. Suzuki was the fastest to pay(submit/approve) for my customers work and get the customers bike back on the road.

Depends on the bike. Cbr600rr>r6, cb650r> mt07, mt09/mt10> cb1000r, r1> cbr1000rr. Both brands make great bikes. It's all up to ones opinion.
