I think TMF is more relevant to the average rider, middle to old aged with limited riding skills. He never pretends to be something he isn't , he hasn't the skill to rinse a 200bhp machine, he doesn't do track days, a bit like most of us I suspect if we were being totally honest.
So do I, I have no trouble sleeping when I’ve watched him for ten seconds. “What’s up kids, missenden flyer here, stick around and stay tuned” zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Ironically he lives not too far from me and I end up looking at where he is riding. At the end of his videos I’ve no idea about the bike but have recognised 4 or 5 local landmarks .
I wonder if it just a hobby for this ‘flyer chap’ ? He reviews an awful lot of bikes so how’s it all one about I wonder?
I turn off now as soon as he says Hi Kids... Used to watch him but got annoyed with him very quickly. I dont want to knock him too much as some of these reviews are useful and appreciate that people out there are doing them. Seen him try to launch a superduke and the twat didnt bring the bike to a standstill before trying it then wondered why it wasnt working
And I’m thinking his subscribers help out as well. To be fair there are a lot worse out there and since he’s introduced Mrs Flyer to assess pillion comfort it’s a bit more watchable
I think that in a review called 'living with the speed Triple RS', more could be said about the suspension than just that it's plush. It's certainly high quality, but the compression damping is also really really hard, and in the end, was the reason why I couldn't live with mine. Why have 30 odd clicks of adjustment, starting at far too much, and increasing from there. On the other hand, he gives the electronics a negative because it has no independently adjustable wheelie control. But it does control wheelies, and the level of wheel lift is pretty well paired with the level of traction control exercised in each riding mode. And the traction contrrol could be completely trusted, which I wouldn't quite say of my current Tuono. He's right about the quality of finish though, which is much better than the Tuono.
The budget bike battle series is the best imho,can’t go all the top end sports bike stuff that most can’t afford,so only watch the more down to earth average stuff
I've got a little YouTube channel, nowhere near the size of his. My channel has only resently become 'monetised', but going on his numbers. I would think he's making at least £30,000 from channel advertising alone. Probably a lot more, not bad for a hobby. Personally I was a subscriber, but found he deletes post he doesn't like (nothing abusive or nasty) Also he does a lot of tours now, I'm not interested in watch someone else ride there bike, I'll just ride my own
