For production value Fortnine is hard to beat. Great bike review videos, somewhat "high concept" at times, but a really good watch. The presenter is professional, engaging and easy to watch.

44Teeth is great; entertaining, professional, slick production quality and the presenters have some credibility (imo).

I've gotten really bored of the traditional motovloggers, but crumble has recently come back from an 8mth hiatus and is entertaining enough.

Motogeo is visually impressive but the presenter is a little bit annoying.

Icon motorsport's "Lord of the Atlas" series is impressive in its scale and production value.

Lastly "Stories of Bike" is EXCELLENT. Real people and their bike experiences. Well worth a watch.

Didn't know that, it seems he can be a bit of a bell. To be fair on him he has done a lot of other helpful videos I've come across. Think the fighter bikes are awful imo.

On TheMissendenFlyer I do like him and watch a few of his videos but my issue with him is that there's never anything wrong with a product. He seems to have a huge list of Pros and may occasionally throw in 1 or 2 minor cons, almost as if he doesn't want to upset the manufacturer.

He doesn't post anywhere near as regular as those already mentioned, but "c90adventures" is great.

I like 44teeth. BvG is a bit Alan Partdridge, but I quite like that. Jaret Campisi on youtube is good too, does some cool custom sports bike builds. 650ib is good also.

44 Teeth and BvG are still my favourites - although RidingwithTom is quite good too.

I don’t understand the Missenden Flyer’s popularity - every time he calls a bike ‘she’ or ‘her’ I want to hack my eyes out with a spoon. Also he takes far long to get to the point and repeats himself lots... his reviews could be half the length.

I hate Jaret Campisi. st 'custom' bikes, horrendous usage of clickbait (Christina) and relentless self-promotion.

Missenden Flyer is really good, great reviews and I like the tech stuff he does in his garage. He's not exactly critical, but his professionalism, dedication to producing good content and overall persona is excellent.

BvG was really good but as someone else said, less so now. Videos are fairly few and far between, and they got a bit preachy and heavy going for a while. I get he was going through a tough time though.

44teeth. Probably my favourite of the lot. Al is hilarious and definitely brings out the best in BvG. Some proper biking credibility as well.

Jojo (already discussed extensively on BB 😂).

As for the rest... MCN, Visordown, Fortnine, Motorcylist Magazine, Motorcycle.com, Bennetts, and Harry Metcalfe occasionally does bike content.

Can't understand the love for the crumble, riding with Tom, Royal Jordanian though.

For the French speakers amongst us I can recommend this utter lunatic ....

Some of his videos are subtitled into English. Look out for the Multistrada ride across Russia, that's a good one.

Wa hey cheers John

Might are about as amateur as they come though. No vlogging... That's not something I'm confident enough to do

I just bung a camera on and ride or track over Europe and the UK

Let me know John when you're next doing a Doni or similar and I'll get up the night before like last time for a beer (I only need one haha)
Will do Dean lad.

Superbike Racer is quite good. Basically some bloke wanging various superbikes around Cyprus on group rides. Decent footage with gyro cam and mikes.

BvG - watched him from the early days. Still enjoy it other than his GS fascination.

44teeth - great channel really. Both are clueless technically, which made for a particularly entertaining Fireblade shock removal video.

C90adventures - light hearted proper budget adventures. Doesn't really post much any more though.

Harry's Garage - mainly car stuff, but generally ace and he has a growing bike collection. The bike videos are informative and nice.

RNickeyMouse - Mainly Mulholland Drive hoonage and crashes, but production is getting better and some great videos.

Fooligan - US based Grom and Enduro bike stunt squad. Entertaining and good production. Basically a bunch of guys doing what most of us did or wanted to do in late teens, but better and in their 20s. Most will condemn as idiocy but I revel in the freedom and zero fks.

Patrick Salamon - Fast club racer who likes his Ducatis to move around a lot whilst racing. Just mesmerising to watch. Example race https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZSUKRe35Gs

Just watched him. People getting all excited in the comments for what I saw was a pretty regular ride out

Maybe I should start uploading a few...

Been watching a few Psyco Paul videos over the last week or so. Pretty good videos but when he kicks off at people, to me his voice just doesn't sound aggressive and makes me laugh.

I think Powerdrift is a worthwhile channel to watch:

Watch this, very good review and amazing roads!

This is from the track:

And this is review of 1299 Superleggera:

44 teeth is the only one that i will watch religiously. Fagan makes it for me.

BvG posts every now and then, appears that he has been busy with projects at work and investing in 44T.

MissedenFlyer, the odd video depending on it's content around specific bikes or activities. The hello kids thing f**king grinds my gears - all that effort on production value to ruin it for for a sh*t one liner. Usually forget about it until i play the next video.

EndurofilmsUK - good coverage.

Dirtbike channel - good content on occasion.

Twowheelreview - good content, and raw enthusiasm.

LyndonPosktitt racing - good coverage of Dakar and a few other things.

Graham Jarvis - unbelievably talented.

ShimmyTV - good content on occasion.

Maxwrist - just waiting for the day he dies.

hard enduro - obvious..

teapotone - good content on occasion. round the world stuff was great.

EnduroKex - brillant.

I really enjoy his stuff but now you mention it you're right. Give him a group test and make him choose he'd explode!
