I went out and got my first helmet and jacket today!!! The journey begins
@@SirSpinalColumn I got an awesome HJC IS-max2 helmet and I love it!! Can't wait to actually ride now lol
Good start! Better than buying the bike first.
Ride safe and enjoy
doin it right good job
@Paul Barrick What Jacket did you buy?
I'm gonna talk about my little experience here. I'm 26 now but at 8 i had an accident with my uncle in a dirt bike and i lost memory and conciousness. For so many years i always saw motorcycles on the road and thought about how awesome should be able to get one even after what happened when i was a kid. Fast forward to a few months ago, i just decided i wanted one, so i went to the dealership and got a brand new yamaha xsr700. And I can't express how happy i am now, how relaxed i feel, I'm not in a bad mood all the time. It changed the way i see life too. So, for all the guys in the channel waiting to get one, just be patient and get it when you can afford it, be smart about your decisions but don't give up on getting one, i hope it changes your life too as it did with me.
Same feeling with weightlifting. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
How are you doing? Is the XSR700 a good beginner bike? I want one but I'm scared it would be too much.
@@xav_crack yeah, as a beginner you have to respect the bike, it has a lot of torque, so you have to be gentle with the throttle if you're learning how to ride in that bike, I'll highly suggest if you've never driven a manual car or a motorcycle to go to a msf course, learn the basics first and then go to your xsr and practice before going into the streets. That's what i did, and it's been two years with the motorcycle and i don't regret my purchase or the decision to start riding. If you buy it keep in touch so we can share our mods 😊
Hello! I'm actually someone who is also aspiring to get a motorcycle one day. I started off with tiny power-wheels cars, all the way to little pocket mod that I have now. I've always loved to drive vehicles, and I hope that one day I can own a motorcycle of my own!
@@xav_crack yes it is
Yammie: only guy alive who has bought over 15 bikes, including a HAYABUSA and doesn't even count it. Madness
I've bought more than twenty, four of which I am currently riding.

@J G Busted. I learned everything I know about sentence composition from reading Donald Trump's tweets.
Sad.
If a paragraph explaining about me isn’t enough, maybe we should all write yammie pages and pages of back history on our lives to have him help decide which 2 wheeled death machine to buy!
Chris Breezy Could be a fun podcast! Lol
I’m glad you covered this topic. I was able to hold of on buying a motorcycle until I was in the Navy and handling my own finances. A teenager would definitely have to factor in insurance and available riding weather because it really sucks when you are making payments on something that is sitting in the garage for 4 months out of the year. Routine maintenance gets pricey also. It’s supposed to be 50 degrees in Chicago tomorrow, I am going to ride!!!!
when you're me, and 2 wheels is cheaper than public transport answer is yes. :-P
Bought my first motorcycle, I like the way the vibrations make my peepee feel, does that make me motosexual?
yes
Trust me, it's better than actual sexual.

Yammie giving motorcycle buying tips around tax time, I see what you’re doing
Guys. Buy a bike cheap, you can do it in college but it has to be cheap. You can find nice bikes for under 2 grand. My 99 Honda Magna 750 (second bike) was $1,750. Fun, good condition, powerful, and handles very well. You don’t have to get brand new whatsoever. You just have to be smart about it all. I just bought my third bike, an ‘01 R6 with 9,900 miles on it for $4,000. I got my first bike at 19, second at 20, third at 22. You can do it. Just be smart and everyone can get into the saddle!
Hey Yammie, I found your channel a couple weeks ago and it definitely got me back in my feels for being on two wheels again. Found a 07 GSXR600 , 14k miles , never been dropped, bunch of replaced stuff for $4,000. Your channel has become my go to for two reasons, you have a great sense of humor and you’re down to earth with wise information for riders of all experience levels. Keep up the great work. 👍
I'm currently still on my first bike, I bought a 2006 HD Dyna that had a couple nice ergonomic mods and I'm loving every mile!
Tons of great advice here. Figured I would share my story. I got the itch to learn to ride in June and bought a 1992 Kawi 250 to learn on for $1300 after watching every video on CZcams about beginner bikes. It served me well but more importantly it taught me to ride. I just sold it in December and picked up a new 2019 Z400 for $5k. I put 1k down and got a 4k loan @ 7% interest. My monthly payments are $87
I’m a 19 year old college student and I bought a CB300R and it’s amazing I graduate in a year and I just couldn’t wait
Been watching your channel for a couple of years while dreaming about having a bike and now finally talked my fiancée into letting me get a bike. Just got a 14’ Honda CTX700n today. Thanks for your content and wisdom!
I like these unscripted videos of you more. More personal I feel like.
i do too but hes said that he prefers to list his thoughts, to avoid moments like 0:31 i assume lol
If only they did as well as our lists! Lol
@@yammienoob its people's attention span these days, got to grab that attention fast or rapid fire facts. kinda sucks. Although i love these videos personally
I use a bike as my only vehicle and it saves me tons of money.. insurance costs less than any car I've had, gas mileage is great and most importantly, I can work on it myself. Simplicity was king and the rebel250 seemed like it would suite my needs well. Found a good as new 09 with 1500 miles for 1400. Great bike! I don't really care to speed but it's still fun and fast enough for me.
bought my first motorcycle at 18, was a waiter and lifeguard on and off through highschool. bought a new 2017 crf250l, modded it a bit since then. I absolutely love it, ride it all winter. If you save up some cash and get an affordable bike its not too hard. Wouldnt trade my motorcycle for anything!!
I passed my MSF and got my endorsement yesterday. Got my helmet, jacket and gloves as well. I’ve been hella set on the Yamaha MT-03. I haven’t rode in 15+ years. So I figured I’d start small first then move up. Sadly I work a cash job so no way to finance the bike. So I am having to save cash up. I’m up to $3200 now! Local dealer says drive out is $5700ish. So I’m not to far off! So I can’t wait to get back on 2 wheels man! Thanks for all the rad content you put out man!
How’s it been for you since you got back to riding? I’m saving up money to get my first bike and am very excited
I'm 42 working in the IT industry, so I'm at that place where I can shop for pretty much anything I want but it doesn't mean I would just buy anything. For my first bike I'm thinking of staying within 10k
Tips unclear, bought a BUSA!
ALWAYS buy private sale. Butt make sure to take it to trustworthy mechanic for full check! 10 out of 11 times your saving half of whatever your paying on dealer comission Ex: bike cost 5k private, dealer would sell 7.500 -10k.
Also, 6/10 new bikes (1st gen) are mainly experimental and will have some issue.
- just a mechanics perspective
Been watching for a while.... Just got my own bike today! It's a 2014 Honda cb500f with 11000miles on it. Loving it! Thanks for sharing the knowledge yammie!
....can you give us an update... cheers.
I feel like all these people who keep asking what to buy haven't stepped into a shop and sat on them sitting on them getting an overall feel is the way to go pick a top 3 and pull the trigger on one yammie has already said go in and sit on bikes that's usually the best way to see which bike speaks to you along with that keep to a smaller engine dont go 1000 if you're no not that it's not possible it's just a larger engine is less forgiving stay safe out there bros and ride on
Black Lavender yeah tbh best thing you can do is go see em in person, see what you think. Sit on them, look at them, score a test ride if possible.
I would also let them know about the initial costs like helmets, gloves, leathers etc... That stuff gets expensive
Jeeez 16-17? I am freaking 30, not living at home and my mom still wont allow me to have a bike. I own one anyway tho :D
That was a good chat...Im not a new rider, obviously, but that was the best ride! THANK YOU SO MUCH Yammie. A perfect loop thru my old stomping grounds and the best part of the capital city- West Austin. Im so glad you're there, enjoying the beautiful weather on two wheels. Im currently in a tropical destination, riding out the pandemic. Im subscribing as we speak. Hook'em Horns buddy 🏍🤘🏻
Hey ya'll, yammie gave good advice in this video (like usual). I'm actually in graduate school (5th year in college in a row) and what I did was buy an old but reliable dirt bike for like 900 dollars and I ride that around when I'm home from school. And bc I get the itch to ride like once a week bc Im busy working like a made man when I'm home from school it works out. However, I plan on using college graduation money to get an older used bike from craigslist. I am a bit mechanically inclined, so I can do most simply maintence stuff my self.
Thanks yammie!
Recently discovered you...love the vids and YOU'RE IN MY HOMETOWN. I recognize ATX! Very cool. Took that bridge home over Barton Creek many times. Thanks for the memories and the awesome moto vids 🏍✌🏼🤘🏻
Great video. You were riding my commute home from work. Definitely a great ride around golden hour.
Man ... i love this guy 😌..thanks again for the good video
Ohhhh the 360 bridge. Looks really cool from underneath too, from a boat on Lake Austin. Great place to waterski in the mornings before anyone's up. Grew up in a lakehouse just south of the bridge, across the lake from Ski-Shores. Dude, youre taking me back!
Oh I miss Texas Hill County! Blue sky, warm weather. It's 33 and raining here is Seattle.
I totally agree with this being a very personal matter. It very much like your style of clothing you prefer. Nobody else can tell you. You just have to figure it out for yourself.
This is also relevant to bicycle, help me a lot on my thinking and decision on my next mtb! Thanks
Yammie: Love getting to watch the best bike channel on CZcams! Haha. I am in a unique situation
I am 21 years old, living on my own and pretty much fully paying for every aspect of myself (rent, bills, insurance, etc) I got immensely lucky with a sales job making just shy of $60k annually, which is absurd for my age.
Although I recognize that even in my position I cannot escape the grasp of insurance rates for guys my age, even with a completely clean record.
My pure passion is cars, but seeing as that market is fucked I’m looking into my secondary passion of bikes! I still have a long way to go, haven’t purchased a single bit of gear much less done my riding course, but I’ll get there :)
I’m thinking of a budget of around 8k, and just buying outright, to soften the insurance blow as much as possible, but past that… unsure what I want!
I live in a tiny mountain town in northern NM, with a significant number of unpaved roads, and the ones that are paved aren’t smooth by any means. I’m not saying i need a duel sport, but it’s worth noting. It also gets quite snowy in the winter months. I’ve looked into mostly naked and cafe style bikes, in the 400-500cc range, but maybe I’m getting ahead of myself with that level of power
I had a little 90cc Yamaha dirt bike when I was much younger but that’s the extent of my riding experience. What naked bikes would you recommend? I know you had an Mt-07, and I quite like the look of that one, what do you think?
PS: It’s awesome to see you in Austin, I lived there 12 years and loved it so much, I used to work at Barton springs. I used to ride on the back of my dads first year Triumph Thruxton and we would park at that spot at 13:25. Good memories :)
Bought my first bike('85 Nighthawk 450) a few months ago and absolutely love it! If it wasn't in the shop currently I'd be joining y'all down in Tuscon. Feel free to swing up to Phoenix while you're in the area!
I'm starting on the same 450 nighthawk, '83. Fantastic riding machine. What's getting fixed? I need a tachometer, waiting to break in new Dunlops in a couple months, cuz Canada. Hello from the frozen few.
I just picked up a helmet , gloves, jacket and boots. MSF course is next month. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it all works out!
This video is perfect, thanks so much!
My Yamaha TZR 50 (50cc) actually thaught me a LOT about riding and in my country I could ride it while only 15 years old.
You were worried bout the cops cuz you are a certified BUSA BOI now!😜

Just wanted to say thanks. With the advice you gave on your channel last year I had the interest of riding from when I was a young kid back. I found a bike that fit me, a YAMAHA Bolt new but old stock. 2018 $6100 total and with renewed warranty. Thanks to MOTO tubers like you I’m having the most fun I’ve had in years and to submit my idea for a beginner rider topic.

That's a sweet deal on a sweet cruiser. Nice man, i thought about that for my first bike as well.

Not bad man! I'm 65, still ride and on my 5th bike. Really impressed with the mature advice given 👍👍 Oh, by the way, rode with some young dudes this past summer and they got me into ATGATT.

Bought my first bike 1 yr ago. I'm 54 and a cruiser guy. My mistake was buying a new bike and paying too much overall. I had a good down payment and should have paid outright for a good used bike. My advice to a new rider is get a well cared for, not too heavy used bike that you can pay cash for/buy outright. After a year of riding I am ready to move up in size and weight for highway travel but still have that pesky bike note to pay off first.
Love the sound of your sled
massimo Bargagna Thanks my dude, it’s a lovely ride
Just bought a triumph street triple 675 as my first bike. Love it.
My first bike was an 02 Kawasaki Ninja 250 in 2008. Cost me 1200 bucks and I rode the crap out of it. It went 100mph and was faster than most cars. Still like the little bikes.
Had it right the first time yammie, going to be hard to continue living there without a motorcycle. Lol
Check with banks about their apr rates too. See about getting preapprovel on a bike you’re considering buying. Make sure you’re able to make the payments.
Did mine through a credit union bank, they had an 3.4 apr rate that I got on my bike. Paying $300 total a year on insurance. $200ish on maintenance that I do myself.

Mr.Yam... you should do more videos like this. No one ever really talks about the financial aspects of the Motorcycle lifestyle. You have the knowledge lol.

Bought my ninja 400 for $4,000 a few months ago. I’m 17 now I bought it when I was 16. I saved up all summer and it was worth it lol.
Good effort.
I just got told I need a REALLY good co signer to get one from this dealer I had 2k ready to put down. I am 20 years old with little to no credit so it’s understandable . But I got approved for a 17k Mercedes Benz alone last year. Wtf...
That is exactly what I want, a Ninja 400.
My issue is that they are impossible to find cause everybody wants one! I have the cash for one cause all I can do really is save since I literally don't have the option to buy one... 🙄
@@ShuffleMasta damn that sucks. Best of luck to you though.
I’m 40, U.K., put off buying a bike due to family and friends horror stories. I’ve finally decided I’m ready and not getting any younger. Done CBT and theory within last 3 weeks. Can’t get a test date or training in local area for 5+ weeks. So bought duke 125 to have fun for rest of summer, well when it finally comes in 2-4 weeks. I wanted 390 but can’t wait much longer so will see how year and 125 pans out. Credit to sales guy he told me not to waste money on the first bike and buy used... but done it anyway
Update: no sign of duke 125 I ordered so I switched it to 390. and I’ve gotten big bike lessons now. I’ve been riding a 2020 CB125R for a few weeks. Love it.
Still waiting for 390 to be delivered also zzz. That could soon be cancelled and I’ll reconsider a used one or something else...
Bought the ktm 390 adventure last week myself, how are you enjoying the new 390 Duke?
@@222wheelsdown congratulations! Sadly the 390 never came and I’m waiting for mod 2 in may before I can progress beyond my 125...should be a good summer when I finally get full license.
You’re not a true Yammie fan unless you watch the video only for Papa Yam’s sweet voice.
I searched and searched and research and... for two years before I bought my first bike. I purchased a Husqvarna TR650. Only after I created a spread sheet of all the BMW parts for cross reference. Because the bike was an orphan year I purchased for 2800 bike had 600 miles. I sold two years later for 8k with 10,000 miles on it; with spares wheels, tires and other parts that would be difficult to find. Today I wish I kept it.
My point is take the time, research, test ride, go to riding events and talk to riders. Your dream bike is out there. Good luck to all looking for euphoria in riding. So much fun.

I love 150 or 200 cc bikes, to be honest. They give impressive mileage. Yamaha r15 gives 45 kmpl. It's like 105 mpg. And they're powerful too, for a beginner. They can go like 120-140 kph, which is enough for daily commute and safe long distance riding. 400, 600 and 1000 ccs have got only power, and nothing else, may give you a lot of speeding tickets and may even take your life. On a racetrack, it's different, but on the streets they're not reliable.

Ya do it. I’m about to get mine next week and I’m 19 about to be 20. My parents never let me get one when I was in highschool so ya fuck that. It’s my time to shine
Buy used with cash is sound advice especially for a noobie. Great financial tips from yammie. I would never get into debt to finance a depreciating asset. Only if you have money burning a hole in your pocket and even then I rather invest it.
I got two bikes within a month or so as both first bikes. Grom for in town, driving to work (first). A drz400s for riding out to the trails. I'm 36, have all the important things in life taken care of first.

There isn't much that can beat getting your first bike and riding it home (or after it gets home and riding it for the first time if you don't have traffic experience). I'm really looking forward to getting my second bike after I recover from this injury. Maybe I'll luck out and win one in the give away. That would be awesome.
Awesome tips
Man i cant wait for the experience! my car decided to throw a rod, and i looked at my wife and said well i guess i can finally get a bike? and somehow she said yes, so in 3 months ill be all set!
J G her best friend died on one, so she’s been pretty upset about the idea
Just get one, PERIOD!
Still got my first bike (I'm aged 34) and started riding 4 years ago. If I can give any advice: buy a beater and mod the shit out of it. I've Chinapoviçed every single part of my 2001 SV650. I don't care if I drop it. I've carved every single curve in the Nijmegen area and had an awesome time owning the piece of crap. I'm saving up for a MT07 at the moment but I've never missed having more power. Fun is in corners for me, not in power or top speed.
Buy a beater and have fun!
Oh so it was a nice day in america too today, it was beautiful here in england.
Cheap & reliable. You will drop your 1st bike so don't get a new flashy one. I bought a used 2015 Z300 that a young fella (im 41) did not wash or cover but mechanically looked after. It cost me almost half what others are asking just because he left it outside too much. Gave it a quick spray job & looks mint now.
I still have yet to find a video that truly addresses all the things you have to handle at a dealer. Every single one I talk to is obviously out to scam me. Even with all the info they know we can see on YT they still play like all buyers are ignorant. That being said...bought gear, registered for MSF looking at a gently used Versys 300x as a 1st bike.
That jacket you're wearing looks amazing. What is it and where can I buy it?
My first bike was a 98 250cc hornet, unfortunately in the EU it's cc doesn't pass you for any licence, so I only got passed for A1 on my A2. I sold it and bought a 06 Honda CBR125 with a 150 body kit in great condition.

Yammies advice is literally a Cat Stevens song, "take your time, think a lot"
Hi Yammie,
(Amazingly helpful content BTW) I am 15 but in several months will be the age(in UK)to take my Compulsory Basic Training and ride anything up to 50cc. I can get a dualsport bike seeing how it's light frame makes it easier to handle and makes a great transition from a broken chain bicycle to motorcycle, should I get an aprilia Sx/rx50.
I liked your epilogue on buying your first bike. I'm not looking for a first bike but I moved to the Philippines in my old age bought a Yamaha sniper 150 its like riding a mini bike. I rode a Honda shadow for 15 years in the states . need something above 400cc to be expressway legal lots of dirt muddy roads a lot of slow heavy traffic a cruiser is just to much now and here . I've been thinking a Honda CB 500 x but I saw a benelle 502c a Ducati diavo ripoff in miniature really like the look but can't make up my mind if I want to buy China made bike and I am concerned about parts. Guess eventually ill decide theirs always the mhm 390 adv to. Thanks for making some nice vids.
I hate commenting in the middle of a video, but I just wanted to add onto a really good point you made about taking out a loan to pay for a bike when you're young - it frees up your capital to invest into things like mutual funds, which you will not regret doing (and you should be doing), but it also gives you a great opportunity to build up your credit too. If you've got a decent credit score, you're at your first entry level job out of school, you're pretty disciplined and responsible, then taking out a loan for the bike instead of saving up and paying cash will really help you launch that credit score up into the high 700's by the time you're going to start thinking about, you know, taking out a mortgage for example. Okay, that's my two cents, back to the video xD
If you're in college just get a used low end bike. Used 250-500s going pretty cheap around where I live. I bought a 2014 CBR500r with 7000 kms on the clock for like $2800.
When i was 17 i had 3 older friends that bought motorcycles in 2011, two financed them and one bought an older cheaper bike. Ive ridden dirt bikes from 6-13 years old. I really wanted a bike and every spring since 2012 i went to shops, sat on bikes and wanted to buy. In November 2018 i finally bought my 08 CBR 600RR used in cash. 1 year later in so happy i waited and got the bike i wanted for less than i wud have spent on a bike that was what i thought i wanted. The 3 friends one enjoyed the cheap Honda Shadow sold it for similiar to what he bought it for, one still has a Ducati Evo 848 that he hasnt ridden in years, the third traded his Ninja 250 for a another bike he financed.
Bruh I didn’t know yammie noob lived here in Austin, I would watch their videos and keep thinking how familiar the scenery looked 😂
Yes watching your channel helped me make the decision to ride and I’ll never go back to a car lol

Hi. Great channel. Im a little confused about what you said regarding not paying cash for a bike. That it's _better to use someone else's cash._ Yet, if you finance a bike, then you still have to pay the principle and now you also have to pay the interest.
If you want to get a bike, you should think what you need the bike for. If you just need to get around town on your own on the cheap then look for a moped or a microcar(if you live in the EU). If you need a vehicle to get around in the countryside where distanses are long and speeds are high and you are not old enogh to drive a car then you should start looking for a bike to sute your needs.
If the roads are in good condition and you have nice wether all the time, then a regular street bike or a cruiser or a naked bike is fine, If you have a bunch of dirt and gravel roads and the wether is unstable then an enduro is probobly better suted for your situation.
But if you just want to have fun then get a new or a lightly used model of the bike that you like.
Maybe a used TW200 . If you like the hobby after riding for a while put ecotron EFI and turbo on it .
Have you reviewed or checked out the Royal Enfield interceptor 650? Curious about your thoughts about theses bikes.
I think people ask for your opinion is because, for ex: I never rode a bike before taking my motorcycle license. And considering that I spent 30 hours at the moto school, on different bikes, I was not aware of which is good or not. Even if I drive test, I still had some fear or little knowledge.
I chose my bike with no help. My first factor was the riding position. Second, I want this for commuting and drives to the mountain. Third, not so many hp, but not so few, so I chose a 650cm3 bike.
Fourth point: I didn't want to buy a bike now, and then another one in one year. I wanted a long ride bike, in years and kms. So I asked myself these 4 questions, logically speaking, and it was the best advice for me.
Awesome video. Question - Any particular reason you stop so close to vehicles in front of you? Honest curiosity. Once I got rear-ended and hit the car in front of me (luckily not a scratch on me), so I always make it a point to leave a good amount of space, also in case I need to get out of the way.
This helps. I have 4 different dealer bikes to try tues. & 2-3 from private owners that in my rider group they highly vouch for.
What did you end up getting?
