Just a random discussion:

- I follow the following:

Schaaf - a guy from Europe, he mostly posts POV riding footage on winding roads - he is really skilled, rides his bikes quiet fast and loves leaning. His videos are fun to watch. He did lose a kidney in an accident while riding once, but he is still riding and producing videos. He does not ride now, the way he did say 4-5 years ago.

Royal Jordanian - I think most would know him. Fun videos, specially the compilations he makes pass up time when I am bored.

Fortnine - I like the company and they produce really informative videos, amazing video production and just fun to follow.

Katsuo racing and The wants needs - Producing POV footage, they focus on the scenery and exhaust noise ASMR stuff - They ride very well and abide all the laws and are very considerate. I like the stuff they produce because its all filmed in Japan, and the scenery or city rides they do are just stunning.

Ride POV - They produce stuff similar to the guys from Japan, but they will occasionally push the bike hard.

I don't care to follow people who make videos looking like they will kill themselves any minute now. Nothing impressive about going 200 km+ on the highways anyways.

Who do you guys follow?!

When I first started riding (5 years ago) I absolutely loved Schaaf's videos but I've lost interest over the years. If I think back to my mindset 5 years ago, I'm watching his videos thinking wow this guy is really skilled, he makes it look so easy, even on a basic bike - I need to keep working at it myself as a new rider until I can rev match, clutchless upshift, trail brake, late apex, lean, carry corner speed, drag knee like an expert street rider like Schaaf. And of course, the more you learn as a new rider, the better, but at some point there's a place to push your limits in a safe environment - the track. You see Niccolo Canepa's vids at the track and that is incredible skill. You see Michael Neeves on the street and that is skill, maturity, knowledge and experience. Schaaf's content is entertaining, but perhaps it sends the wrong message and perhaps some of those viewers have ended up on the ugly end of Moto Stars or Moto Madness (also entertaining + educational). He has toned it down significantly since his accident, for the best in my opinion.

Will def check out those Japanese channels you mentioned. I love watching those scenic rides through Japan.

For me: 44teeth (especially the Budget Bike Battle series), Fortnine, Revzilla, MCN (Neeves is brilliant), Chaos Causes, Royal Jordanian, Sylvain Guintoli, Niccolo Canepa.
 
DesmoWorx (technical ducati videos)
The Workshop (motorcycle engineering topics)
Dave Moss (suspension)
Allen Millyard - probably my favourite of the bunch (genius english engineer who combines multiple motors into one with a band saw and a welder, unreal stuff. Amongst a lot of other things too. )
Wherever Ari and Zach are working at that year.

Really anything mechanically related, not big on watching people ride and talk.

I've run across many others, some good, some bad ...

Most of the street-riding-based "vloggers" are scary, dangerous riders. I refuse to give the clowns who ride top speed weaving through traffic on motorways the benefit of a click. I'm sure people can think of a few of those. Many others are merely incompetent (and distracted).

I've run across The Workshop ... some good, some bad ... he's far too long-winded for me to put up with, and opinionated ... and sometimes he's wrong.
 
Almost forgot, the bike show, they're out of south africa

in addition to high quality moto journalism, they also review older used bikes as well as the new shiny stuff straight from the factory
 
I watch Masons ADV for Canadian long distance trail riding.
Itchy boots sometimes.
Fort Nine of course, but he seems to be running dry on material these days.

I generally try to stay clear of the commercial blogsters and salesmen.
 
A few that have not been mentioned

- Peter Anderson, does some rebuilds on old Japanese bikes. Very thorough and detailed
- Motogeo, good videography
- PedroMota, ADV rider chronicling his journeys around the world
- Racing and Adventure (formerly DriveMag Riders), some decent videos on the new channel. The old DriveMag channel had some amazing trip videos like Road of Bones in Russia
 
I don't watch a lot of YouTube, but I like Mototrek and their instructional videos.


They've got great riding tips and it keeps me coming back to the channel after each practice session, just to continue honing my skills.

Also, local rider Megs Braap has great instructional videos for dirt biking.


eveRide ADV has some great cinematic videos of their stomping grounds in Utah and Colorado. Hope to make it out there later on this year:

 
Delboy's Garage
 
I know something's up between those two, but whatever happened between them is about when I stopped paying attention to The Workshop due to the relationship between useful content and wasted time dropping too far.
