Watching the video while knowing i cant afford any of them

600-900cc is the best and sweetest spot for a single bike owner. It has great power and great fun, without all the downsides that come with liter bikes. Any good 600-900cc bike can very well be the endgame bike (or at least the endgame class) for most.

The suzuki 8s is an awesome bike. I've had mine for over a month and it's a big bag of smiles.

My dad just got the new Transalp a couple weeks ago - the first one to come into BC. It’s a really nice little bike. It looks alright, it’s very stable, and it’s got some zip.

[StrokeHanded]

I've been seriously considering buying a new Transalp with the touring package. Seems like a awesome bike, and Rider Magazine did a great article on it.

[mgs.]

I have a 2006 dr200 and the technology in these bikes blown my mind! I can’t imagine what those bikes rise like. (I’ve only owned a 1973 Kawasaki G5 and the dr200)

[MrDaneis]

Glad the transalp hit the US, just wish I liked the way it looked more. The v strom 800de is to perfect.

[richardwarsinske]

Sadly as you mentioned we still can't get my current most wanted European spec. Honda Hornet. Considering the US spec. Transalp has been detuned to 83hp a similar tuned Hornet would lose its main performance advantage over its competition (unless a flash would return the lost HP). Not sure I'm willing to wait another year to find out if Honda decides we're worthy of the Hornet so going to a dealer with all the GSX 8S color options today to take a look!

Bought the new Street Triple 765 R this summer and could not be happier!

(maybe if they offered it in the carnival red like RS, tho the crystal white looks sick in sunlight!)

[IndomieNL]

Im so happy with my Tracer 9Gt 2021!
Its quite comfortable, very reliable and lots of fun. But I still regret selling my 2002 Honda CB600S

[DdoneTTV]

I love the looks of the GSX-8S, but man I know I shouldn't start my motorcycle journey on that much power since I will be a first time rider

[somemediocreguitarist]

Always a good day when I can start off with a Yammie vid.

[almos-bendeguzarany]

Motor companies litereatly slap a round headlight on a bike and call it a retro/neo retro

[MvPDogZ]

looking forward to Yamaha R9. if it does come out if not will be getting MT09sp.

[davidleatherwood]

Interestingly, apart from the colorway, the Transalp looks very similar, albeit updated, to the 1986 model that Charlie Sheen's character rode in "Hot Shots"

[thelittledude]

As a ktm 500 traditional dirt/dual sport/super moto rider making his way over to street. This was helpful to see. And like everyone I’m going to go for a middleweight naked, mostly for the torque figure which will hopefully be closer to my dirt bike. Because I’m special, just like everyone else.

[dabthiirty]

Feel like the RS660 would've been perfect for this list

[paulconnell]

FAct check the GSX 8S has a displacement of 776cc.

[joshuaeverett]

So I’ve been watching all of you’re beginner bike content and made a decision on the r7. I get it next week and I’m so excited to hit the street!! I’ve done a whole lot of dirt riding since I was about 9. I have a 2002 rm 125 and ride the piss out of it. 😂. Please tell me papa yam, do you think as a super dirt nerd do you think I made a smart decision for my first street bike??

[boros]

Believe it or not the gsx8s is my 2nd current dream bike and the mt09 is the forst
