You guys are right. Polaris is fully American, and headquartered in America. My information source was incorrect. Thanks for the heads up guys.

The coolest bike is the one you're riding. Or the one you wanna ride. Just ride.

As someone who doesn't ride a motorcycle, my favorite bike is whichever is quietest and will not wake me up when they drive by my house.

As a Minnesotan, I have to bring up that Polaris was started (and still headquartered) in Minnesota. You might be thinking of Ski-Doo which is most definitely a Canadian brand and company.

a few years ago, it was pointed out that a large percentage of the cars assembled in America with the most American made parts are Toyota.

Thank you for your service brother.

Worst part is, the tags and stickers that says "MADE IN USA" were printed in China.

The rear wheel on that Harley Davidson was probably made in South Australia.

Thank you for your service Mr. Wizard.

YES YES YES!!! please make more of these videos!!!!! I love this segment, especially the motorcycle aspect!

Excellent - I love your videos and your diversity of all things motor propelled that you present to us in all of your different videos. Excellent content my friend, and it's always a pleasure seeing your channel pop up in my notifications, it means we are all in for a treat that day! Thanks again Wizard. (2005 Merc Gr Marquis 4.6 luxoboat owner and I LOVE it too!)

I dig the Wizard. One of the great things about KZfaq. Keep rocking bro.

Most "Harley guys" I know say the best-sounding Harley is the Shovelhead, hands-down. A quick search of the forums confirms this (not sure what forums Wiz was talking about).

Great videos great content keep up the work

That sounds like an antique agricultural cultivator engine.

Wizard, the Ram truck needs to be your next example in this segment. Italian and French owned, partially built in Mexico, and always driven by a tough guy with American flag stickers on the back.

Thanks for your service Mr. Wizard!

Now you've done it. It's recorded. "Mrs. Wizard was right"

Cadillac & GMC trying to blend in with the Europeans in the back

I personally love the small motorcycles. The low weight, allows me to explore the are more, without worrying about a tow truck if I get stuck

Yay! My Sunday entertainment

My first bike was an 883 sportster, did the 1200 conversion myself and it got me hooked on wrenching and bikes. I love sportsters, they are fun. At the time I owned it we had the sportster.org website and mailing list and that was a big BIG help for just about anything Sportster related. Sad it doesn’t exist anymore.

I like your sporty. I have a 2000 model 883 H myself. I have v&h straight shots on mine but I agree the sportsters do have that really identifiable Harley sound no doubt, plus the Evo is a great reliable and proven engine. Great bikes. 👍🏻

Loved the episode

You had me at merica! 🇺🇸

Love you content on your channel Wizard, I operate a one man Automotive Repair Shop in state of Delaware...I love seeing how other shop owners relate to the business! God Bless Happy Thanksgiving!

My 2015 Silverado was built in Mexico, my Toyota Avalon was built in the USA

Sounds really wicked on my new Chinese Bluetooth speaker

There's a bit of irony in the Indian having some immigrant DNA in it

Now you've gone and got that song in team American stuck in my head.

Thank you for your service

Love the Sportster. Just a classic look.

I’m a subscribe and love your channel. I think your doing an awesome job. I really enjoy informative video. Get this guy to 200k subscribe. Let’s go Merica! Thank you for your service Wizard !

nice vid man!!

Thanks for your service Wizard! Please keep making more great videos. That Indian is gorgeous.

Thank you. Wizard I enjoyed the video and also learned some thing

I like your concept!

Parts of my made in Japan JDM Honda, imported into New Zealand has bits made in the USA.

I'm not really a motorcycle guy but even I can agree that those are two beautiful bikes.

Worked at ROH Wheels in Adelaide for a time. They did Harley Davidson wheels there. Was always funny seeing the American reps from Harley come over, they'd see the rejected rim pallet and go, "Why are you ditching that for?" The smallest imperfections got rims tossed, and the Honchos from Harley weren't happy with our quality control being so strict. Mere dots that were hard to see got the wheels thrown out. They said that back then in the US, they'd pass some of that stuff...

Loved it buddy

Well Done!!! Greetings from Greece

That is an awesome hat Mr. Wizard

I had a Harley 883 for awhile, it's was a fun bike for around town. I'd get a Dyna for longer cruises, way smoother ride. Those Western Turbine wheels on the 'Vette sure brings back memories of the '70's.

Like the lid, and that motorcycle!

Plz make more of these

Great title for this bit!

Good one. Thanks.

Great video

Veteran here also served in the USMC honorably discharged! I own a German Mercedes Benz 300SD 1983, same year I had enlisted! I have learned a long time ago, many American products are good, but there are so many that are actually no longer completely made in our country! I like the German concept of a turbo diesel four door that is built like a tank.

Most American Harley is easily the old knucklehead ones. Timeless looks and sound

Sportser is nice , I like the look and setup of the 2019 1200 sportster

the 883 Harley is the best Harley, so much more fun and cheaper than other Harleys

Sold my 1200C last year after many enjoyable years. Sporty's are great bikes. The 883 is smoother and has plenty of power. Back on a Honda for now (PC800) because of the body-work and trunk that will hold three bags of groceries completely enclosed. But the Sporty was a great deal of fun. Did a lot of suspension tweaking. The rear Showa shocks can be exchanged to change the ride height and comfort level. I liked the shocks off an S model with adjustable dampening. You can also run Honda CB900 Air Shocks (similar to Road King, but w/o the hard spring) so you can have a super comfy solo ride, then air up for two up :)

Also it’s interesting that the Honda models made at the Lincoln Alabama plant are all in the top 10 list of most American made cars.

Many motorcyclists always trash talk the Sportster, but like it or not, the Harley Davidson Sportster is a freaking LEGEND. Even Elvis Presley had Sportsters. So I don’t want to hear all this bullshit talk about the legendary Sportster because bigger isn’t always better and sometimes a smaller bike is just want some people want. CASE CLOSED. Thanks Wizard for your service and thanks for another great video! I hope to meet you one day!

I was amazed to find my 2013 C6Z Corvette has nearly as many German vendors associated with it as a lot of German cars. Robert Bosch, Clevite, Mahle, Pierburg, Siemens, Sach, Getrag (Actually, based out of Switzerland). And the rims are from Speedline of Italy. Nice.

Related to what jack turtle said below, the old John Deere 630 tractor, which had a really big(302 cid/5.0 liter)2-cylinder engine, had a very similar, cool "popper" "potato-potato" engine sound to the Harley v-twin.

Best vehicle I ever owned was my 'Murican made SUV. The Toyota Sequoia, built in Indiana with American made parts from American suppliers. The non-union part was just a bonus!

A John Deere 2 banger would have been way cool.

Got that sporty sounding like your King of the Highway FLT

That is my favorite newer sportster. They ride nice. forward controls and nice handlebars

Merica!! Fuck yeah! Do you ever get any Pontiacs in the shop wizard? Would love to see a video on a Bonneville, GTO or Grand Prix. Love the vids wizard

I passed my drivning test on a Sportster, which I found very easy to ride, but I have never owned a HD myself. Rode an Indian with a foot clutch and hand gear lever once though, that was a different experience...

lovin that hat wizard

Wizard, so glad you mentioned the Cadillac Eldorado Coupe. Yes it’s very true, many things we consider to be American through and through sadly these days are not. On vacation in Kissimmee Orlando Florida some time back, I decided to buy a new pair of jeans, all the Levi and Wrangler jeans were made in Mexico, I couldn’t find a single pair that were made in the United States....also I had a 1982 Lincoln Continental Mark VI (6) Coupe, it needed a new piece of glass, for the power vent window, and to my surprise, the new replacement window glass was made by Porsche.

Thanks!

On point!

Did anyone else think he was driving in an old John Deere tractor?

You admitted Mrs Wizard was right??? You never do that you will never hear the end of it LOLOLOL

i sometimes miss my little Yamaha virago 250. Everyone laughed at it but the v-twin it had, had a real nice note to it, that many were surprised it could sound so large for such a small engine. Was also awesome for around town, not so much for anything 55 or over since top speed was 72mph 75 doing down hill with a tail wind. Then it sounded like you were a heart beat from losing a leg to a piston coming through the block. Then i see some idiot cut me off or blow a red because they were on their phone. Maybe once my kids are grown i'll get another motorcycle but for now risk/reward isn't there for me to really enjoy.

I have absolutely nothing to do with motorcycles, but this Indian is beautiful. Masterpiece. Cool hat btw.

Im in Canada. I am pretty certain that Polaris is American and not Canadian. Bombardier/Ski-doo/Can-Am is Canadian

I am Subscribed!!!!!!!

just wondering what about the metal was it mined here or over seas steel, aluminum......?

My dad used to ride a '71 Sportster. It was the perfect size bike for a guy who was pretty average size. On a good day you could get it up to 80 and on that bike, it was enough to scare the crap out of you. Smaller bikes can be a lot of fun. I prefer dirt bikes in the 350cc range myself.

My favorite bike ever was a Kawasaki Z1 900 . The fastest bike at the time when it was built.

Indian went out of business in 1953. That bike is actually a Polaris with a nameplate that says Indian.

Wizard could you do a video on tuning and cams?

Had an 06 xl883c but it kept blowing oil into the air filter housing and then leaking out. Did research on this and it's a design flaw in the PCV system. Sold it.

Indian used to be built in Gilroy California from 1998 to 2004. there was plenty of miss management thru out the company..I applied for a Production Manager position and was never interviewed...............

Polaris is an American Company. Founded in Minnesota and still headquartered in Minnesota.

God bless you sir, and thank you for your service. Thank you for doing this. That's some heavy metal you've got there.

Do you use seafoam? When and how often?

Corvette..absolutely gorgeous 10/10

Nothing sounds better than an evo in today's market, after all they're just an evolution of the shovelhead!

I owned a Sportser way back in my years and I loved it. Of course I had endless teasing from my buddies with the big Harlys all the time calling it a Honda

I liked my Honda CT90 hunting/trail bike. It was quiet and you could climb steep hills and explore.

I prefer the Sportster for the same reason. The buffalo as you called it just doesn't inspire any confidence in turns it's just too big and heavy and almost feels sloppy on the road compared to a Sportster

"Polaris is Canadian but the bike itself is made in America" Well I'm European but last time I checked, Canada was also in America.

God bless you for your service. Back in '79 you could get a new Sportster for about $3,000.00. I bought one back then. I was a young man and a dentist wanted to fix my teeth. He wanted about $3,000. I tried to put that kind of money in perspective. I told him that I could likely buy a new Harley for that much. Well, he told me to think about it. So I did. I bought the Harley.

I was totally expecting you to turn the camera to show the noise was actually someone banging a lid with a couple of wooden spoons.

You should compare the old Eldorado versus new cadillacs

A HD out of factory has a very quiet exhaust. The dealers install more open exhaust.

Do a Canadian episode that would be a challenge for ya haha

Years ago I was in the presence of a snobby BMW biker. After pointing out a couple Japanese made switches on his machine he didn't talk so proud,haha
