Top 5 Most Reliable High Performance Motorcycles

What's the point of reliability? You won't live long enough for it to matter.

KTM could use a little more dunking on

I used to work for a motorcycle wholesale dealer and we got in a turbocharged ZX14 with nitrous one time. Completely built engine as well. The thing is, you couldn't ride it across the parking lot hardly without fouling a plug. It was wide open or nothing.

There is only one answer to all these videos , ZX14R

All Japanese , Samurai tested

Ahhh, I was already daydreaming about a Streetfighter V4. 😅 Guess I can just jot that down as confirmed for my next bike. 😁

I have 2 K1200 GT BMW’s and it’s a good balance and over 40,000 miles and still rolling

Wait what, KTM lawsuit? Checks internet hmm feck

I bought my first big bike two years ago, a Ducati Monster 937cc and although the engine gets too hot too fast in Lisbon I just love the bike and can’t think about another brand anytime soon.

Can confirm everything you said about the gsxr1000.
I bought a used 2011 with 9k miles for 7k off a buddy.
Long story short a month later I had a $3,000 repair

Hey Yammie, love your videos. I would love to see a video with your opinion of the Aprilia RS 457

Do not get a 2008 and 2009 cbr1000rr as the plating on the walls did not hold up in those years and causes it to burn oil that, if left unchecked, can cause oil starvation and explode.

Be careful, guys

Speaking of reliable Yamahas.... the MT-09 and MT-07 get turbos in Australia and get beat on by a stunt rider, ripping off rear tires, doing dank noonies. They hold up fine. The -09 makes twice the stock horsepower and holds up fine.

Ok but they are only for small, short motorcycle jockeys.

If your tall (or fat) get a cruiser.

The Panigale / Streetfighter V4 engines have water pump seal failures every (avg.) 7000mi. Not Reliable, and too big of a cost to formally place a recall. I’m on my third water pump (under warranty) on my ‘22.

Really good. Excellent editing. Thanks!

Too bad Honda Blackbird never makes the list. Champagne bike at beer prices

make a video about ages before 2010

lol ducati and reliable should never be in the same sentence.

even in Turns the Busa is Great

Papa yams a papa 😱😮😮😮

What's true for cars, also holds the same for bikes.

H2? No warranty right?

Very nice video! However a rockform mount + case ruined the camera on my iphone due to vibrations from the handlebars. They sell vibration dampeners now but I’m not chancing my new phone on that. Apple is aware of the issue and they won’t fix it even if your phone is under warranty. Buyer beware

What about the zx14

So you put the new blade in here without actually knowing if it will prove to be reliable or not, so you're just guessing and then you voided the warranty? Also, did the GSXR1100 just not exist for you of something?

This a long winded ass video lol.

THE BEST RELIABLE M/C I'VE
EVER OWNED WAS & I REALLY BELIEVE IS THE BEST & THAT'S A KAWASAKI, NEVER BEEN LET DOWN NOR HAVE I BEEN STRANDED, SO DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY STUPIDITY
AMEN !

Desmo service on the Diavel comes in at 36,000 miles.
Also, the ZX-14 is VERY reliable, especially since it shares so much with the Kawasaki Concours.

BMW R 1250 gs

The Ducati scrambler was my least favorite bike I've ever ridden. So much vibration, awful in traffic, so much shuddering. I'm very happy with my honda, hope the other Ducatis ride better

Ducati and reliable 😂😂😂 is the best joke I heart

You left out BMW

ZX-14r should be on the list.

Define high performance….

ZX14

When you suggested Ducati, I wrote this. I will never buy a Ducati looking for reliability. You are going to sway someone into a very expensive mistake. Folks. Buy a bike from any of the "Big 4" and ignore any Bullshit that tells you otherwise. Ignore this at your wallet's peril.

Ducati reliable, yeah right😂

Good vid but I still wouldn't touch a Ducati with a shitty stick

I'm a Honda guy though and through, but the '08 and 09 CBR1000RR's are notorious for engine problems/failures. Especially the 08's. Just wanted to throw that out there. Also, stay away from the 2017 FZ/MT-10's. Horrible throttle response which made the bike super jerky even riding at slow speeds on a less than perfect road. They also have a hard time passing gas stations. I owned one. It was one of the worst bikes that I've ever had in the stable. That being said, the Ducati Diavel WAS the worst bike that I've owned. SUPER high maintenance, and the particular unit that I owned, had electrical issues that caused it to stall or die when rolling up to stop signs and red lights. It was in the shop 3 times in my only one year of ownership. I sold it for a loss because I didn't want its spaghetti dripping Italian cooties to make their way to my other bikes. Ducati left such a bad taste in my mouth that I swore off all European motorcycles and will only go with the Big 4 from Japan from here on out. Primarily Honda or Yamaha. I own both brands at the moment, 2002 CBR954RR, 2010 VFR1200F, 2014 FJR1300A

Both the Busa and zx14r are bullet proof, but zx14 more comfortable

Used to hate yammie noob cuz I've owned a yamaha mt07, z650, and ninja 500......I get it now

Yammie yaps too much

No one says Gixxer throw. So stop it

Did you just call me a honky bro?! Wtf
