Top 7 DUMBEST Motorcycles to Own

so two weeks ago i posted a video on the cheapest motorcycles to buy and own with the subtext that you're being a real smartypants if you bought one of those kinds of motorcycles however like a coin there's always another side a yin to the yang so that all things may be perfectly balanced as they should be so today we're going to take a look at the dumbest motorcycles that you can spend human currency on these are the kind of bikes that'll have you scratching your head wondering why you even decided to pull the trigger on it in the first place and in some rarer cases might have you looking for the sweet release of death in general though it's the kind of bike that you're going to be pulling out your wallet constantly or spending more time wrenching than riding or just plain dumb to ride on the street now as with any of my roast style lists it's important to remember that if your bike ends up on this list and you like it that's awesome hell it's why i own two stupid super motos to commute on which is up there in the world of dumb motorcycle choices but remember we're just having fun and i'm not calling you a big dum-dum unless you own a grom and you aren't scrambling it in which case what are you even doing with your life but you know what's not dumb put your phone in a rock form case i've been using a rokform case that i bought with my own hard-earned doubloons and so far it's been one of the best phone cases i've ever used forget your otterbox's or your discount amazon cases this thing's awesome it protected my note 10 from a whole bunch of drops because i'm a giant butterfingered klutz apparently and the big ass magnet means that i can stick it to my bike while i'm working on it and i can actually see what i'm supposed to be doing the best part though is the phone mount i use it all the time when i lead my weekend rides and i can't tell you how nice it is not to have to memorize my route ahead of time it's solid enough to hold the phone snug for an all-day cruise and it's adjustable so you can get just that right angle click the link below and use the code yn25 for 25 off your order and free shipping on the best motorcycle phone mount you can buy number seven carbureted motorcycles yep this applies to literally any motorcycle with a carb they're all outdated maintenance heavy overly complicated relics of a bygone era now i know that the comment section is filled with people who are busy typing a message that looks something like i've got a carved bike and i get more power than a modern leader bike and have better throttle response and if my bike breaks down i can fix it because fi is for girls and you know what if you're in the middle of typing that comment i urge you to stop for a moment and ask yourself why just why sure tinkering with your bike is all well and good but pulling out somewhere between one and four carburetors every few months just to clean them only to have to re-sync them and make sure that nothing is leaking sounds like a giant pain in the ass and maybe if your bike breaks down you can fix it on the side of the road in theory but do you carry a bunch of spare jets carb cleaner a full set of tools carb synchronizer every time you go out for a ride if the answer is yes then it sounds like you've got an awful bad case of stockholm syndrome right there trust me i have a carbed bike myself and i both love and loathe it with every fiber of my being i've been tweaking air fuel mixtures for months and just when i thought i had it right the weather changes and i have to start from scratch do yourself a favor and switch to fi sure in the nuclear armageddon when all computers fail the carved bikes might run better but we aren't living in the post-apocalypse right now are we actually don't answer that moving on to number six ducatis yup sorry yams i gotta do it to you but ducatis make no sense to me and i say that as a recent convert to eurobike life okay i get that they look pretty and have a hand-built quality to them which is neat but when your business model is the exact same as harley davidson i gotta question your life choices i mean both ducati and harley davidson are names that even normies would recognize they sell overpriced motorcycles that are underpowered compared to the competition and you have to treat it just right or it'll void the warranty also need i mentioned desmo valves i mean are they better than normal valves yes sure it's basically impossible to get valve float thanks to the mechanically driven nature of the desmo valve train but the fact that you need a whole bunch of specialized tools and a mechanic trained in the biscotti fields of bologna and anointed in the finest espressos to get the job done is just plain silly have ducati's gotten better in terms of desmo valve intervals and maintenance cost sure but riddle me this how do you find neutral hmm oh and before a bunch of people in the comments say this yes i know the multistrada v4 is getting spring-driven valves no it doesn't make it better it's not going to work because it's the first time they've used springs in a bazillion years number five special edition motorcycles owning a special edition motorcycle is a lot like dating a supermodel it looks pretty and makes everyone around you jealous for your taste and the depth of your pocketbook but you don't get to touch it and you know deep down it's more for everyone else to enjoy special edition motorcycles like your ducati superleggeras your 2006 r1les or hell even the daytona 675 moto 2 or mv agusta f3 800 reparto corsa like we have in the shop right now are not really meant to be ridden sure it's a motorcycle with two wheels and an engine but their insane up charge over the base model for some carbon fiber and other farkles make them for a very unique kind of buyer they're for the kind of person who rides a street fighter v4 on the daily and lives in a penthouse apartment in manhattan those special editions are designed to be ornaments in those multi-million dollar apartments don't believe me try and find a replacement fairing for the daytona 675. i know they look like a dream motorcycle but basically any bike that costs more than 40 grand is just a waste and yes that includes my beloved kr gt1 forever may it be my desktop wallpaper because i sure as hell am not gonna get to own one number four super sports now before you get all butt hurt let me qualify that a super sport for the street is the small brain choice but a super sport is a track day toy now that's a big brain move don't believe me let's take a quick little look-see at a pair of dino charts shall we on the left you've got your r6 man doesn't that chart look pretty sweet look at how much power it's got i mean up to 121 horsepower that's pretty darn sweet right wrong look at how far into the rev range that is the party doesn't even start until 10 000 rpm and from there you have to wait another 5 000 rpm for peak power also look at that torque curve it maxes out at 47 foot pounds at like 11 000 rpm can you imagine how gutless an r6 would feel from stoplight to stoplight i mean seriously 600 class super sports feel slower than beginner bikes down low also if you wind out a super sport all the way you're going go to jail fast before you know it and now on the right we have the most patrician mt07 sure it doesn't have that screaming top end rush of a super sport but it makes peak power just under 9000 rpm and makes 40 foot pounds of torque right away as a street bike it's also way easier to maintain with two less cylinders way less plastic it's cheaper more usable and chiefly more comfortable to ride than a super sport admittedly it will fall apart when pushed but you can't even push a super sport on the street anyway so it doesn't really matter remember kitties it's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow number three project motorcycles let me set a scene for you you just low sided your ninja 650 hitting a gravel patch on your favorite back road you're fine but the bike is completely ganked up the forks the engine and the frame are okay but the levers are screwed plastics are spent and your lights are smashed to bits you decided it's better to keep the bike than total it out but you looked into the price to fix it and damn near had a heart attack after a few days lost in deep thought you figured you could turn it into a street fighter and do right instead of just rattle canning the whole thing black and putting handlebars on it after a few months of work and countless thousands of dollars you just want the bike gone so you decide to flip it on craigslist for a few grand with the caption runs great needs some tlc don't have time to finish it let me rip this band-aid off right now if you own a project bike it will never ever be done there's always something that needs fixing or replacing they're just deep dark voids into which you pour money in time and it never returns trust me on this one i bought my drz for twenty three hundred dollars and have dumped like fifteen hundred dollars into it between parts in my time and it does run better but it still looks like a steaming pile of crap i can clock another fifteen hundred dollars worth of mods that i need to do to that motorcycle just to make it tip top again but i could also just crush it into soda cans and put the money towards a bike that actually works every time never buy someone else's project and never keep your own project just get yourself a motorcycle that works number two chinese motorcycles you know the kind of bike i'm talking about the motorcycles that appear in youtube videos with the title i bought the cheapest motorcycle from blank with some cheap looking bike and a crate in the thumbnail yeah all those motorcycles they're basically all garbage but why spike my buddy's friend's uncle's cousin just bought one and it runs great heck he only spent like two thousand dollars on it because he bought it on prime day for a nice discount well the problem with those motorcycles is you can't sell a vehicle that cheap and make money doing it if it's got any sort of quality behind it as a result they have super old school dashes that work like 50 of the time they're all carbureted and you know that's big dumb right there and they just don't have the fit and finish of a proper motorcycle plus they're all basically one two fives or 250s if you want something cheap and disposable but you have a crippling fear of going fast just buy a scooter plus there's basically no support system for your little chinese bike so you better know what you're doing when it comes to maintenance or at least know someone who does because if you take that crappy little one two five to a local shop they're probably gonna go tell you to pound sand i will caveat this one by saying that if you already own a real motorcycle and you want something that you can just goof around on this makes for a better beater bike than any project motorcycle since at least you know it's brand new just maybe don't expect any of the fancy features they claim to have to work number one no title bikes this is absolutely the dumbest kind of motorcycle you could possibly buy now i know what you're thinking that no title bikes make sense as an off-road or track only motorcycle but no they don't if you do not have the title to your motorcycle you do not own that motorcycle doesn't matter if you have some handwritten bill or sale or whatever kind of other backwoods handshake deal making went down if you do not have the paper it's not your motorcycle plus without the title you do not know that motorcycle's history was it stolen was it totaled was it formerly a race bike or maybe someone took the engine out of the frame and used it as a go-kart engine for a season and then slapped it into some random frame you had lying around i cannot urge you enough not to buy these kinds of motorcycles and i see it happen all the time hell bringing it back to my drz again it had a titling error on it and i had to go through the whole title bonding process to ensure that someone couldn't come after me and say that i stole the motorcycle if the seller is at all iffy about the title pass it's just not worth the hassle trust me on this one i had a partner how's it going now this video is over but i tell you what you click on this one right over here you can keep watching yourselves from yam and noob now if y'all didn't know we're based out of austin texas so click on that video you might check out something cool
