      I was wondering if it was me as well. I've been riding almost 50 years starting on RD250, then race prepped RD350 that wheelied the 1st 3 gears on the pipe, then road raced an FZ600 in the 80's. My last triple digit HP bike was Buell XB12 SCG. I rode some dirt bikes as in my teens but, never owned one and last year I bought an XR150 just because it was cheap and looked fun. So far I haven't been wrong as it is more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow at my age, lol.

    I'm on the downhill to 60, riding for decades so when the orthopedist told me I needed a hip replacement I put the near half ton HDs to rest. I picked up the 430lb CFMOTO 700 CL-X and have put 17,000 miles in less than 10 months of riding time. Less than $7k for a 74hp, adjustable suspension, 6 speed, slipper clutch, dual ABS, full LEDs, cruise control AND self cancelling turn signals isn't being budget conscious, it's called having fun. If I don't get killed on it, my body will wear out before the Kawasaki engine does so I'm not worried about resale value. Keep up the great work

    When I was a new rider, 54 years ago in England, we were all 16 and clueless, riding a selection of worn out, mostly British, small capacity (less than 250cc) bikes. No rider training in those days, you just made your mistakes as a learner, survived if you were lucky, then took your test and were allowed to ride anything.
    The system here has changed since then. New riders have to start on a 125cc and work their way through a series of tests, over several years, before getting an unlimited licence. No doubt safer, but it puts a lot of people off.
    At nearly 70, I'm still riding, but none of the other lads I knew back then are.

    2024 600 hundred squid starter here. Just got yesterday a Yamaha R6 2007. When i tried to brake for the first time time I stoped so hard that my balls got kicked by the bike, at first it hurt but after I couldn't help but laugh at myself. Didn't drop her not a single time though and I'm having lots of fun, getting a bike that you like (always dreamed of owning an 2006-2007 R6, they are kind of rare here in Brazil) is something that definetely changes your life, every time I wake up in the morning and see my R6 in the garage it brings me immense joy. Just go easy on the clutch and don't try to do any stupid stuff to impress people around you nor try to pretend be a MotoGP superstar and I think it is fine.

    China bikes are a perfect way to see if you like owning motorcycles. Got mine for 1800, used the heck out of it, learned all about carbs, doing your own maintenance and repairs. Got a DRZ after selling it for 1600. There's just not a lot of aftermarket or middle man money to be made so no love by CZcamsrs.

    Should have had an honorable mention: The Chicken Strip Heckler. Those squids that heckle other riders because "they don't use the whole tire", even though they live in a place like Arizona where there are more rain storms than curvy roads.
    Also, I ride a '22 Super Cub, call me the Midlife Crisis Minibike Squid. I just wanted something for fun, I don't live in an area that has tracks to race on or long winding roads to cruise.

    • @michaelmurdock4607
      @michaelmurdock4607 Před 12 dny

      To be fair, we have many, many curvy roads in Arizona. They are just out of the way, on the sides of mountains, often with a bit of rock fall, and looking out over valleys and washes filled with vehicles that didn’t make the turn because the terrain is too rough to haul them out.
      Edit: ...and the paving hasn't been refreshed since the Eisenhower administration. Very important detail, that....

  • @mattm7798

    I have to admit I was the 600 squid. I bought a Ninja 250 brand new and thought after my first night riding it, that I needed something more powerful instead of learning to ride properly. 2 months later, I bought a 10 year old I4 600 and promptly low sided it in the hills trying to keep up with a much better rider(wasn't hurt and the bike was fine). I have little excuse because even tho the Ninja 650 paralel twin level bikes were just starting to come out(around 2007/2008), I should not have been on an I4 600, even a 10 year old one.
    Luckily, beginner riders now have better options that won't feel underpowered once you get some riding experience.

Got use to it somewhat fairly easy before hopping on the R6.

    I kinda squeeze into multiple groups. 49, married, no kids. Wanted a dirt bike to ride with wife while she is horseback riding. Ended up getting a TW200 and I am on the road (back, side and in town roads) more than the trails. I do love the trails though. So I guess I’m close to the mini bike group lol, kinda on the adventure bike dad side as well.
    I’m already wanting to upgrade but I can’t imagine getting rid of my TW. Thinking of getting a Honda CB 500x next. Good for the streets but not afraid of the trails.
    We will see bc I have to save up. My truck just needed massive engine repairs. GMC owners with the V8’s that switch to 4 cylinder for fuel economy…..beware.

    Me, the 600 squid, who started on a modified R6 about 2 weeks ago. Knew it was stupid, but is one of my dream bikes so. Dont have any friends who ride that recommended a 600, just love high pitched exhaust tone. It really was either this or a 1988 CBR250 and driving a classic seemed stupider. Watched a lot of your videos, have done some MotoJitsu drills, feel like keeping in the low revs is pretty legit. Only really open it up in really open straight roads I know very well just to experience it a little. Definitely respect the machine though since I know it wasn’t the wisest starter bike. Just didn’t want to deal with selling an R3/RC390 after a year or two. This could just be an ignorant comment though.

  • @nikoladimitrov1534

    I''m like the Midlife Crisis Beginner, only that I'm 28 with no kids or anything. Had a 70cc two stroke supermoto 10 years before i got my current bike, which is a 2011 Yamaha R1 Big Bang. No ABS and TCS mind you. But it was my dream bike and I didn't want to buy a 600 hundred only to have to sell it after one season. It was scary at the beginning somewhat knowing what the bike is capable of, but if you take it very carefully and slowly and gradually try ride it faster, not directly from the get go - it's doable. But I wouldn't recommend it to anybody to do what I did. Also the first thing I did after I bought the bike was to spend a bit over 1000$ on a 2 part leather suit, boots, gloves and a full-face carbon fiber helmet. Whatever you do - DON'T CHEAP OUT ON GEAR!!!

    TOTALLY the Chinese squid 😆😆😆
    Both sides lol... Started on a X-Pro X-24 (you know it as the Boom BD-250-5! 😂) I sold it, and now I have a CFMoto 650 Adventura! I do not care at all about brand recognition, and time will tell if I am regretting it for reliability. All of this is within 7 months lol. I liked my little X-pro (Boom) lol. It just wasn't going to be enough bike for me in the long-term so it was time to move up.
    The thing with the cheap bikes straight to your door, is it makes riding more accessible to more people. I think that is something you are overlooking. I felt intimidated buying a bike from a dealership or an individual with no knowledge or experience riding. It was like a convenient and discreet training wheels bike. Guaranteed new, and guaranteed cheap. I bought on Amazon, so I had the additional layer of customer service if there was an issue. The bike ran just fine. I put 400 miles on it, and now I have put about 300 on the CFMoto.
    With CFMoto, I just really like the modern tech and it is a great value for the money. It really helps they are so good at DESIGN. If their bikes were not so easy on the eyes, I would not like them as much. I just think they are a tremendous value, especially if you can find NEW USED. I got mine with 1100 miles on it for $4000. For a 2022. A Japanese 650 10 years older with 10k more miles would be $1000 more. I am putting my money on them being good for the long-haul as well. As long as people trust KTM, I trust CFMoto. Sucks mine doesnt have cruise control like the 700clx, but I can live without it. I still have the sexy TFT and rider modes and stuff. Bike tracking and monitoring come standard with the CFMoto Ride app. I love it.
