Thanks you for your comments! I do my best to keep up with them for the first few days after a video comes out, but due to the volume of comments on all of my videos, and to the general hustle and bustle of life, I must give up the fight after a while. If you are leaving a question four or more days after a video comes out I can't guarantee I'll see it, but perhaps one of my other viewers knows the answer and can help out. Thanks in advance to those who contribute and share their knowledge. Cheers and stay safe everyone!

I bought a new Honda Shadow VT1100 in the spring of 86, I still have it! It's still showroom clean and 100% reliable.

[Jupiterider]

Great video! I agree 100% about purchasing used bikes. I own four bikes and all have been purchased used. I just purchased a 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere' from an older gentleman who was the original owner. It features many aftermarket extras, 38k miles, was well maintained with all the service records. I paid $6000 US. i couldn't be any happier with it.

The VFR 800 and the FJR1300 where the two bikes I always wanted hut never owned.

The CBR1100 Blackbird is a bike I've owned twice and they are an awsome bike, you can get these for a great price too.

[RogueCheddar]

Vstar 1300, great all around cruiser, had one for 12 years, gas, oil, tires, one new set of brakes. Never let me down.

An exceptionally cheap "all-arounder" that often gets overlooked is the Katana 750. I bought one a couple years ago after I sold my KTM EXC500 . My high school friend suddenly decided to get into motorcycles after 30 years of me trying to convince him. Not wanting to spend much money I found a safetied 2006 Kat with 10k km and 2 brand new tires for 2100$ CDN. At the time I felt like I was making a huge compromise compared to the bikes I've owned in the past but I've come to realize that although this bike isn't exceptional in any particular aspect it does everything well enough to suit all my on-road needs.

[johnelaschat]

I've owned numerous bikes so far, but nothin can top the deal I just bought. Off of someone I know, a 2007 xr650l with an original 73 miles! Was kept in storage and is basically new. They are good legendary bikes.

[madmangaud]

Japanese bikes, "especially" the OLD ones, are what I like, like 70's to '80's! I love JapBikes!

[martinbaer]

Just bought a 2007 Suzuki C90T, no original sissy bar, 21, 018 miles, Cobra pipes and crash bars, and recent new black wall tires for $2200. Rides like a parade float..smooth and comfortable..changed plugs, oil and filter, and it even runs better.

[frankmcgachy]

Loved seeing that old Valkyrie commercial! Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work 👍

[philipcaseyacalloway]

I picked up a cb550sc nighthawk for $500 in 2020. My first bike. Kid I got it from didn't understand how carbs worked and for another $300 in fees and elbow grease I had a pretty nice cruiser. Fun bike that I regret selling.

[patmays]

I have a Kawasaki er500. It goes really well, & is totally reliable. It handles very well. I have spent very little money on it. I would recommend this model to anyone.

[PapaP]

I have a 2002 Honda 919 I've had for 10 years now that's still going strong. The FJR1300's are known to go over 100k miles well maintained. Personally met an older guy that put over 100k on his in a pretty short period of time.

[HarbingerOfDeath-]

I have several bikes, and they're all older Japanese models. Two of my favorites are my 1999 Concours 1000 and my 2005 ZZ-R1200. I also have a 1983 Yamaha 750 Midnight Maxim in perfect original condition.

Great overview Thx.
Back on a street bike, after 40 years off (crazy long, eh ?).
I chose a Suzuki Maxi-Scooter, 2006 Burgman 400.
Won't kill myself or meet every cop in East Texas on her.
But sporty fun @ 67 avg mpg.
Cruises 75-80
TONS of storage onboard.
Installed a larger Givi Windscreen & toured to San Diego - (2/3 a continent) and back, comfortably.
I'm def considering a nice ADV.
Probably one of:
- DR 400/650 or KLR
- KTM ADV390
- BMW - sub 1000cc ADV
Not to replace the Maxi-Scoot, but augment it.
Just like I have a hardtail Mountain Bike, and a Road Bike, for the Trails & Asphalt too.
Just some perspective, I'm 58 & had from age 14-20 about 7 Enduro & Street bikes, buying used hasn't changed.
In fact, it's near identical,
buy with season in your favor, have cash, negotiate & (hidden key) be willing to walk away !

My best buy "back in the day" was a showroom perfect 1980 Yamaha DT250 (silver) with 2500 miles, in 1981 from a departing Navy Sailor who sailed away the next day !
He'd paid like $1400 new from El Cajon Yamaha the year before, and though his ad asked $750, I was a broke high school sophomore with only $600.
He TOOK IT.
I was elated for quite some time.
Dude was almost crying over it.
I said "you're desperate, but so am I, the Navy pays you a paycheck, I mow lawns for $5 a wack. So who's more broke ? It's like you're helping a little brother out".
He left our transaction a little less depressed 😔 !

[joshunruh]

As much as I like the Shadow, the Best deal in the cruiser world is the Honda VTX 1300 line. You can find them all day long for pennies. Shaft drive means hardly any maintenance, single carb can be rebuilt in an hour if needed. Single pin crank like a Harley so it sounds great. And it’s a Honda, so it’ll run for approximately 400 years.

[oknevals]

The price of used bikes is crazy though. I see two of my bikes being listed at higher price than I put them on the road 4-5 years ago. It is better buying pretty much anything new than used. Saving $1k-$2k to get something five year old will even out in price very quickly. Tires, chain, sprockets, brake pads, clutch, fluids will add up quickly and probably cost way more if you pay for service. Not to mention all those pipes and crap that mechanically clueless are trying to play with because somebody told them that it is cool or they pretend like 5-10lbs makes difference to them even though they maybe put few hundred miles a year.

[kevincraig]

if you already have a bike keep riding it and wait for the market to settle down it might be a few years but by then alot of models will be under revision anyway

[Geshmaal]

A sweet list! The UK market is a little different but a commonality is that you can get a pre-VTEC VFR800 or an ST1100 for under £2k pretty handily. I'm currently on a V-Strom 650 but I'm pretty tempted to give a V4 a go whilst they're still available so cheap. Sure, servicing can be expensive but I don't think prices can really go any lower on these things.

[stevewalther]

I just bought a 2006 Suzuki C50 BLVD. Mint condition with bags and Cobra pipes....6, 000 miles.
All for $4, 000....love it.

[taylormahan]

Recently purchased a 2003 vtx1800.
12k mi, accessorized, mint condition. 100hp 115ft/lb torque.
Big block power, big block thirst.
Honda quality and reliability.
Best bike ever (cruiser).
