I Bought the cheapest under $1,000 Motorcycle: Challenge

I like this kinda "Top Gear" format. Get 3 bikes, talk smack about the other guys bikes. See whats wrong with em. Funny stuff. Do more like this! 👍

Craig's bike was my favorite pick. Sounded pretty sweet, too.

This is funny and entertaining, top gear used to do these sorta things and people loved it. I love the sound of Craigs Kawasaki

I've said this before, but this is the direction you guys need to go with the videos. Everyone loves the "Top Gear/ Grand Tour" style format. When the weather warms up, plan some road trips with the guys. Love the videos, keep em coming.

3:52 Sean: "It's covered in rust." Craig, in a pleased tune: "mhm"

That Victory is a sweet looking ride for a screaming deal. Seems like it wouldn't take a whole lot to get it in good shape. You should do a followup challenge after getting the recommended fixes done, and see which bike wins overall cost to performance. That would be a good episode!!!

This is awesome this needs to be a series. Top gear for bikes has been tried before and failed. Because the hosts have no real connection. You guys have real connection and can make it work. Please keep doing these !!!

Hey guys...just gotta say, the 550 is the exact bike I owned in the early 90's. Funny story...I drove that thing for weeks with not so good gas millage...and realize by accident....that it was a six speed. First thing I thought of when Craig mentioned the rpm's at 60 or so, just thought I'd throw that out there......great little bike.

Sean: It's covered in rust..... Craig: mm hmmm

Craigs got the best eye, that's a baby version of a true classic in disguise, the none americanised version is nicer on the eye.

I'm impressed by the difference in economies between the US and, my country, Colombia (South America), one of those bikes could easily be worth 3000-5000 dollars as is, and considering the average salary in Colombia is around 300 dollars a month for a minimum wage job it's really crazy to me how easy it is, compared to Colombia, for someone to buy any bike or car there. I recently bought a 2002 yamaha xt600 and have been saving for over 3 years and it cost me about 3500 bucks and it's a bike that is expensive to maintain for the average person here and is considered a "big bike" considering the average bike here is between 100 and 200cc and pretty much everyone has a bike, because it's cheaper than a car, and it's a necessity, not because it's a toy.

Craigs bike needs a clutch too lol. He just forgot to mention it. Listen to it in the 0-60 test. More vids like this please!

This is what we need! Old Top Gear for bikes! Love this, Sean! More please...

Congrats on 1m! Easily worth even more subscribers

Craig also won the extra challenge of standing the bike up off the floor. "Kickstands down" seemed to be a very late addition to the rules.

When pop starting a bike, I’ve found that it’s easier to do it in 2nd gear instead of 1st because the wheel doesn’t have to spin the engine as fast, so technically you have more of a mechanical advantage that way.

I'd like to find a victory. They are actually very dependable bikes in relation to their competitors. Too bad they don't make em anymore. Congrats on 1 million!!

Maybe I missed it, but one of the challenges should’ve been how many likes each bike receives from the fan base. After one week (include a start and end date), post the results in the final video. NOTE: Sean, you and your crew are truly blessed with a skill to make these videos. It warms my soul to watch the pure enjoyment you guys have with motorcycles. The rivalry is priceless. But the friendships are solid gold. Thanks for sharing!

I always liked the Kawasaki Eliminator and the Vulcan for styling but I have to admit that the Victory looks pretty bad ass too!.

My first bike was a 1986 Vulcan 750. Great bike! From 1986 to 2006, virtually no changes.
