Believe me I didn't watch it either. It just popped up in my feed so I went to see what comments were being made. He's trying to win the subscribers back. lol To Late, He done burn that bridge. "YamYam Lube"

My point for posting here was to show how he works. As you can see my post had nothing negative to say about him. Just an honest opinion and i get blocked from posting.

Also notice how he wanted Herbie to contact him. Probably wants to find out if Venom has him under contract for making honest review in there favor.

Just so everyone knows, I didn’t contact yammie so I don’t know what he wanted, actually I don’t even know how to get on telegram, YouTube is the extent of my social media. And as far as Venom is concerned, no I’m not under contract to give positive reviews, I give what I feel is a honest review. I know I usually have a lot of praise on the bikes but that’s because I’m a positive person and don’t go out of my way looking to find the negatives. But I do believe Venom to be a good company and I do support their business, I have purchased 2 bikes from them and plan on buying more in the future.

It's not really him trying to get you on telegram. Its scammer spam. They do that on all popular youtube channels.

Started watching and quickly gave up. When he made it clear that he bought the bike for the sole purpose of being free to express every bias he holds I knew nothing in the box was going to be rated higher than "adequate". He's going on and on about Chingresh warning labels that nobody reads anyway? The shop manual for my first '60's vintage Yamaha seemed to have been translated from Japanese to American by somebody who's native language was Inuit.

I pretty much gave up on Yammie Noob several years ago when he reviewed a Ural sidecar rig with the 2WD feature, and he did his "test" entirely on city streets - complaining about it being such a bad city bike.

But I never saw him test his Turbocharged Hayabusa on a muddy and steep mountain trail either.

Actually I've been doing a lot of China bike bashing of late. I've been bashing the engine of my Lifan KPR200 against the redline through the curves and grinning from ear to ear!!!!!

IMO it all comes down to perspective. You can't fault someone for having a different perspective.

I would honestly agree with alot of what Yammie said. I wouldn't suggest others get a china bike unless they are a weirdo like me. I don't regret getting mine, though I got it used with low miles. I fully accept the downsides and have worked to try to minimize what I can. Though you can't fix the difficulty in finding parts and information with 100% certainty it is accurate..

I can tell I'm on a lower quality motorcycle every time I ride it. But I try to enjoy it for what it is rather than disliking it for what it isn't.

For the record I've got a vstrom 1000 that is still in mothballs. I pulled out the qlink since another buddy got a small bore bike and I figured this would be simpler to get back on the road.

Yammie BOOHOOb

Into my garage. INTO Thanks RL driver Randy

Fit my budget, Retired Vet US Army, decent pension and my Ghost is exactly what all you other Ghostriders said she was. 1st start out of the incredibly well packaged steel crate.

250 miles on her. Performs exactly as expected and desired.

Thanks to all of you guys for the great videos on YT.

So to Yammie, boohoo for not thinking people who aren't young Rich kids don't have the right or cool enough bike to Roll.

I earned my right to Roll on these American roads.

Been at this riding thing for enough decades that it's no longer impressive more like sad so I've had a few bikes. As stated above it's all about perspective, you can enjoy it for what it is or hate it for what it isn't. I rode a Buell for a decade so internet hate and bashing is nothing new, that poor company was abused from every angle and still managed to produce what I consider to be the greatest motorcycle (in the right circumstances!) that I've ever "experienced". Last year I picked up a Templar X on a whim, the experience has again been truly surprising. A rare bargain is this screwy world.

I think that the motivation for China bashing goes beyond outing the variable build quality and generic parts bin approach that makes these bikes affordable. No reason to go into the politics of it all, but the reality is that our homes and garages are filled with all sorts of things that are made 100% in, or from a high percentage of components that are made in China.

A few months ago I found a nice used Samsung dryer on Craigslist. Lots of features including steam (needs water connnection on the back) and it has a huge 7.5 cubic foot capacity. I totally cleaned out the lint, replaced the rollers, belt and idler pulley since it was sitting in the garage. It's like a new dryer. $150 and the guy GAVE me the companion washer! That needed some work, but... both are made in China.

Toasters, ranges, water heaters, plates, glasses, sheets, towels, toilet valves, high speed internet gear, rugs and carpet, furniture, tables/chairs... the list goes on. Some of it actually has an American brand name on it. The global economy is why we can buy all of this stuff. It is made by people that are willing to work for lower wages. There is some regulation but no law against it!

I would really like to know the true list of items that come on freighters in those containers. Even Harley Davidson is making and selling motorcycles in China. Also Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac. They stay there in the Chinese market, but made in China.
