  I say go with your usual in-depth format reviews. It&apos;s what gives them value (that and your honesty) and makes them stand out. This kind of short quick reviews is what you can get anywhere else, and youtube is already full of them. I understand why it might be appealing to some people with too short attention span, but I think you ain&apos;t gonna win with those anyway.

  My vote is longer! The first part feels very scripted, I prefer the seats of the pants thoughts. I’ll watch either though because I think you’re the best motorcycle reviewer currently on YouTube.

  I&apos;ve owned a 2025 NT for about a month now and coming off a 2012 Goldwing, I really appreciate the much lighter weight. I purchased the comfort seat (big improvement) and top box with backrest so have approx. 123 liters of storage. It&apos;s not quite as easy for Mama to mount vs the Wing but she&apos;s figured out how to do it. I also purchased a 3l Honda tank bag so my phone can easily connect /disconnect. I&apos;m sure that wireless is an improvement but a wired connection to Carplay also keeps my phone fully charged at all times (no one ever mentions that). The DCT is amazing and makes riding effortless although most riders (and myself) run in S1 or S2 and ignore D. For &quot;older&quot; riders wanting to down size but still have 2 up touring capability with good performance and tech at half the price of a new Wing...............you will not be disappointed. Good video. Thx Ian !

  The problem is not the length of the video but the style. The entire overview part feels like made by AI. We don’t want a marketing text about the bike. We just want your own personal feelings about the bike. You were always very personal. This video feels different. As you just read a text someone handed to you. Don’t get discouraged it’s just that your precious content was top class and this is not at that level. Cheers.

  Man. Always my go to reviewer for all bikes. Great job. But yes, i love the in depth reviews, with the longer format.

  Your shorter reviews are nice if us viewers are not considering that bike as a purchase, but for the bikes we do consider the more in-depth review is more informative. &nbsp;I like both because even with the longer review you have it set up we can skip to the next portion easily. I realley enjoy your in-depth vidios including riding accessories and riding gear. Please keep up the good work.

  I prefer your &quot;normal&quot; format. There&apos;s nothing particularly wrong with this style of video (voice-over), but it feels less personal. A big part of your attraction is how you present yourself on camera, and of course, your in-depth content. As far as the NT, I&apos;m glad Honda finally brought it to the US although it feels like an afterthought. If the NT had been available in the US several years ago, I probably would&apos;ve traded my Africa Twin for one, but not now since I&apos;ve become very spoiled by my 24&apos; R1250 RT. Perhaps Honda&apos;s marketing estimates for the US are correct, but it&apos;s a real shame they don&apos;t give us more configuration options for this machine.

  I come to you for the in depth reviews. Well done for short form, but I much prefer the longer videos.

  I owned a new BMW GS. Then I bought a used Honda NC750X for commuting. I ended up selling the BMW at a huge loss, and keeping the old Honda because I fell for that DCT. It’s just been a dream to own. This NT1100 is my next bike for sure.

  You are absolutely the best bike reviewer in the US. I appreciate your work.

  Longer the better! If I’m considering buying a bike I want ALL the details so I can evaluate it as I cross shop its competitors. I’m currently doing this now for a sport tourer and have been watching all your reviews in that space. Love your work Ian! Thank you for making these amazing videos for us moto enthusiasts!
