More bike reviews. It's obvious that you took the time to learn about the bike by thoroughly riding it as opposed to simply quoting what other bike reviewers have stated already. Great job guys.
More bike reviews, PLEASE! This is probably the first professionally-done review video that highlights, without bias, both the strong and weak points of a motorcycle. I also like the fact that you evaluated on a variety of roads, not just a racetrack or a flat stretch of highway. Awesome video, really like the bike (was considering it) but your comments on highway vibration have made me wonder........
Your review of the bike was absolutely spot-on. Vibes past 5000 rpm at high speed are annoying. However, apparently the solution is to put weighted bar ends on the handlebars. Despite being a simple solution they apparently drastically reduce the vibes allowing the rider to actually use their mirrors at highway speeds. I'm looking forward to trying this for next spring.
First time I've seen a review from you guys, primarily because I'm only interested in bike reviews right now and I have to say this is one of the better bike reviews I've seen - definitely do more please :)
More bikes! Very well done, I'd love to see more bike reviews. Especially since I'm in the market for one. Since I can't afford any of the cars you review (of course, that's not why I watch the show anyway), bike reviews would be cool.
I've been watching your vids since garage419. We are living an era where every successful thing is cloned or replicated (top gear for instance). It is amazing to see a guy like you that forges his own way of doing things. You are honest, humble, funny. It's a pleasure to watch your reviews. Congrats. (sorry for my english. Martin from Argentina, homeland of Juan Manuel Fangio, Alejandro de Tomaso y Horacio Pagani)
Yes please! More bike reviews! I love how you are so unbias towards anything on a bike. I can take your advise and know that your oppinion hasn't been compramised by anything. Keep it up guys.
Please do continue, I'm tired of half-assed reviews of supersports. Not everybody is into crotch rockets. Bikes like the F800R, Ducati Monster/Hypermotard/Multistrada, Honda XLV700 Transalp etc. DO need good, user friendly reviews, and as we all know, you can do some of the best reviews around here, Matt.
Please keep the bikes reviews aswell love them, try testing next tourers if u have back problems, Ktm and Ducati Diavele i beive also will not hurt your back
That was a great review, one of the better ones I've seen on youtube (and I look at quite a lot) and an interesting bike to review. So please keep them coming!
keep the bike reviews coming! i know the views might not be as high but the viewers you are pullling in are more committed. i know a guy who watched this video and then got hooked to TST. watched 50 or so of your 88 videos
Matt- Id keep up the bike reviews. You've already built up a strong fan base with the automotive review videos, and I think this is your/TST's chance to grow even bigger. I enjoyed this review of the F800R, great work buddy.-Robby
Another vote for continuing the motorcycle reviews. I enjoyed this and would continue to enjoy watching you ride and review many more bikes. You are great at what you do, Matt.
I would like to see some more motorcycle vids from you. Informative, entertainting, and at times humorous. Would have liked to have seen you carve some canyons. I think you guys will find your biker niche the more bikes you review.
nice vid matt! i wouldnt mind seeing some more motorcylce reviews, but not more than car reviews! haha keep up the good work and hope your back is healing well!
Long time rider here, 1st time viewing your Motorcycle reviews and I think you did good. The only low point I could give you is that you mentioned canyons multiple times, but never saw a shot or carving them. Give some shots from a little distance.
Keep riding! I'll go check out your other reviews.
Ah, my old stomping grounds! That road is loads of fun for drivers, not so much for passengers. There's a sign you went by that says "bump" for what was originally a 1-foot bump, now it's a 30+ foot hill.
And since as you mention it's populated largely by rich white folks, it's generally pronounced "palace vurdees."
Absolutely do more bike reviews. In fact this was one of the better bike reviews I've seen in a while. Its too bad you can't ride the s1000rr. I own one and ride it everyday; its an amazing machine.
Matt, I watched The Car Show the other night and I can understand why they got rid of Salley even though I like him, but they are making a huge mistake making the show only a half hour. It is pretty good now, but you guys are way too rushed and you can tell. They need to give you more time to do your road tests and to have your dialogues.
It is a better show than TG USA by far and they need to support it and promote it properly at Speed.
@The SmokingTire Sorry to hear of your surgeries .limiting your abilities to ride. I had a GS1150ES........I grew up riding the GS series. Have you ridden the Honda CB1000, circa 1995??? I think that ride would suit you just fine...it is rather big...that would perfectly suit a truly big guy...like you. I have the impression the so-called 'streetfighter' is really the results of crashing all the time...regular bikes with-out all the plastics. We have plenty of examples down here in Argentina!
YES, more bikes, they are fantastic. But you should test an S1000RR, you must be able to ride one even with back surgery! Or do a comparison between a $200,000 supercar and a $20,000 sports bike.
Matt you need to pick better bikes for review. If you are getting a bmw i would have picked s1000r or a gs1200. Bring some Jap bikes, Ducati, Triumph, etc. Bmw is adds ten years to any rider.
@gwalia4 Everyone starts somewhere. And I'm very limited physically by the kind of bikes I can ride anyway. Not only am I rather large, I've had spinal surgery twice. So any japanese/italian crotch rockets are totally out, because I can't ride them without being in excruciating pain after 5 minutes. So any bikes we test will have to have a more or less upright riding position.
@TheSmokingTire I also love naked bikes for street riding. How about Aprilia tuono, speed triple, street triple r, cb1000r, z1000, fz1, ducati monster 1100s, etc. BMW is just underpowered for its price. It is a german bike with no personality. I would also love a review of suzuki Bking. I like bking because its wild and crazy.
@TheSmokingTire Matt, I appreciate the review. There's a lot of older would-be riders out there with back problems of one sort or another. Most reviews tend to focus on the most extreme bikes, ignoring less exciting but still solid bikes like this one.

Bikes, cars, motorized fishing poles, it doesn't matter as long as you do it. Imagine a custom Hayabusa with fat tire conversion. Cool. Pencil sharpeners and gadgets are no-nos.
What kind of faggot would say "absolutely no bike reviews?" Let the man review bikes for even the smallest minority that care to watch it and the rest of you tools just don't click on the video link you dumb fucking twits. Also I noticed that all the fenders on the wrangler he passed by were identical.
This bike looks awful, sounds terrible, the engine (as reviewed by Matt) doesn't sound very good performance wise and it's a BMW so I doubt it's "reasonably priced" meaning that for the price of this thing, I'm pretty sure there's probably something out there that's at least twice as good.
My verdict, hate it. I don't like these "streetfighters." I'd either go sport bike or cruiser, I don't want some Frakenstein-ish mash up of the two.
@Sigrafix I like the Triumph Speed 4 and Speed Triple. Those are cool... but I think Matt did new riders a disservice when he said that anyone could handle this because the power delivery is pretty smooth (I'm paraphrasing here)... no new rider has any business on an 800.
@wordlyfe You know I respect all bikes but honestly I think "streetfighters" are more purist bikes. Like you really got to love riding to want one of those so you can ride it everywhere Lol. Me, I'm more of a weekender on a screaming 600 doing 140 on the freeway kinda guy. Also about new riders, I believe it depends more on the person than it does the machine. You can ride a liter bike reasonably, the problem is the temptation is always there to let it rip.
@wordlyfe As an example, the day after I got my bike license I went out and bought a bike, a Suzuki SV650. Everyone said it was a great beginner bike, and they were right. It had plenty of power, but it came on easy so I never felt overwhelmed. But don't let the numbers fool you, that 650 made more power than this 800 does. It was also 50 lbs lighter and felt quite a bit quicker. It also has to do with whether or not the rider fears the bike. If not, he's dead.

Not sure about motorcycle reviews here (I mean this as in neutral, not negative opinion). I know it's your first bike review, but it still had everything TST is known for. I'm not really into motorcycles tbh, but I've always wanted to try it out but also kind of scared too.
Well I would say buy a BMW, because I am an enthusiast. Although I have heard the 335 has little problems that could cost some cash to fix, unless it is under warranty. I have not looked into the A5 because I can't stand Audis. I can tell you she will have more fun driving the 335 and you will want to drive it as well. The 335 performs better than Audi's S5 so there is no doubt it will out perform its A5. Ultimately the decision is up to her. Take her to test drive both.
Matt all I have to say is that parallel twin engine is not representative of the majority if parallel twin bikes as far as sound and engine characteristics are concerned, I implore you to check out well the only video I have posted to youtube: jardine rt-1. It's a jardine 2-1 system for the old kawasaki ninja 500. That bike is also a blast for beginners, please check the video out and let me know what you think about the sound.

@boarderboi7 I've heard several parallel twin bikes, they sound OK from a flyby at high RPM, but when riding the bike they don't sound very good at all. V Twins sound much more aggressive and make their torque lower than the parallels.

@thaddeusbrown i have, but that was months ago... but ever since The Car Show hes been lookn to clown/badger on any caddy that has come along... btw im sure im a bigger fan of TST than you... WHERES YOUR TST TSHIRT? mine is faded and i have even been followed/profiled by cops just for wearing it
@houser4201 I don't remember hating on any Cadillac in recent history? I mean the 80's through mid 2000's are total shit but the new V series is awesome.
@houser4201 did you look at the picture? That car had a fuckin Landau roof and a fake continental spare tire on the back. A Cadillac CTS is a very nice car, but that doesn't mean owners can't fuck them up.

Let the man review bikes for even the smallest minority that care to watch it and the rest of you tools just don't click on the video link you dumb fucking twits. Also I noticed that all the fenders on the wrangler he passed by were identical.
More bike reviews please.

This bike looks awful, sounds terrible, the engine (as reviewed by Matt) doesn't sound very good performance wise and it's a BMW so I doubt it's "reasonably priced" meaning that for the price of this thing, I'm pretty sure there's probably something out there that's at least twice as good.
My verdict, hate it. I don't like these "streetfighters." I'd either go sport bike or cruiser, I don't want some Frakenstein-ish mash up of the two.

@Sigrafix I like the Triumph Speed 4 and Speed Triple. Those are cool... but I think Matt did new riders a disservice when he said that anyone could handle this because the power delivery is pretty smooth (I'm paraphrasing here)... no new rider has any business on an 800.

@wordlyfe You know I respect all bikes but honestly I think "streetfighters" are more purist bikes. Like you really got to love riding to want one of those so you can ride it everywhere Lol. Me, I'm more of a weekender on a screaming 600 doing 140 on the freeway kinda guy. Also about new riders, I believe it depends more on the person than it does the machine. You can ride a liter bike reasonably, the problem is the temptation is always there to let it rip.

@wordlyfe As an example, the day after I got my bike license I went out and bought a bike, a Suzuki SV650. Everyone said it was a great beginner bike, and they were right. It had plenty of power, but it came on easy so I never felt overwhelmed. But don't let the numbers fool you, that 650 made more power than this 800 does. It was also 50 lbs lighter and felt quite a bit quicker. It also has to do with whether or not the rider fears the bike. If not, he's dead.

I really don't know a thing about motorcycles, but that seems like a good beginner bike. How much does a bike like that cost?

Ninja 250R, best selling most acclaimed "beginner" bike ever.. go for that, most people don't regret it, unless they wanted a 600 to begin with.

Not sure about motorcycle reviews here (I mean this as in neutral, not negative opinion). I know it's your first bike review, but it still had everything TST is known for. I'm not really into motorcycles tbh, but I've always wanted to try it out but also kind of scared too.

Matt, very soon I am buying a car for "My girl". Does "She" want an A5 or a 335 2 door?
ChiefSpooshme 5 months ago
@ChiefSpooshme you should ask her, I'm sure she knows what she wants better than I do.
TheSmokingTire 5 months ago 8
@ChiefSpooshme
Well I would say buy a BMW, because I am an enthusiast. Although I have heard the 335 has little problems that could cost some cash to fix, unless it is under warranty. I have not looked into the A5 because I can't stand Audis. I can tell you she will have more fun driving the 335 and you will want to drive it as well. The 335 performs better than Audi's S5 so there is no doubt it will out perform its A5. Ultimately the decision is up to her. Take her to test drive both.

@ChiefSpooshme Time to find a new girl... it will cost less than the car.

@ChiefSpooshme I'd say wait till next year when the new 3-series will be introduced and the A5 will receiving a facelift, both as 2013 models.

What i like about the bike is that it doesn't have a typical BMW price tag. At less then 10 grand, your getting a lot of bike for the money.

Matt all I have to say is that parallel twin engine is not representative of the majority if parallel twin bikes as far as sound and engine characteristics are concerned, I implore you to check out well the only video I have posted to youtube: jardine rt-1. It's a jardine 2-1 system for the old kawasaki ninja 500. That bike is also a blast for beginners, please check the video out and let me know what you think about the sound.

@boarderboi7 I've heard several parallel twin bikes, they sound OK from a flyby at high RPM, but when riding the bike they don't sound very good at all. V Twins sound much more aggressive and make their torque lower than the parallels.

@houser4201 did you look at the picture? That car had a fuckin Landau roof and a fake continental spare tire on the back. A Cadillac CTS is a very nice car, but that doesn't mean owners can't fuck them up.
