How are you so early?
I have tryed to participate to yours contest but because im an european guy i cant
One of the check TVS apache 310rr
If you havent can you make a video on the absolute strangest looking bikes ever
more of this please but short dudes like 5'2 short. more power to you uncle Yam
Busa is a great choice. Goes just fast enough that you don't feel the skin ripping off. AND you can tell everybody you got in a bar fight, because we all know chick's dig scars.
Busa is a bad choice. Goes just fast ... and can do nothing else
@@adrianbr4585 😐
@@Henrik_Hammar don't tell him. Let's just wait and see
@@adrianbr4585 that's not true! You can sometimes go slow! And crashing is just as valid on that bike as any other bike! Stop being so negative!
Its an excellent first and last bike.
@@ThePicasoBlack haha u right
As my first bike was a turbo busa i can tell you being recussitated is a wonderful exhilarating experinece. Plus the feel of the wind ripping by is great when you highside but the busa can be slow when you need it.
The G310 R has been the perfect bike for me, a small beginner, and having the 24/7 road assistant in Europe plus the 3 years guarantee included sure was a bonus. When you live less than one hour away from 3 different European countries, the road assistance sure is a bonus.
I am looking at the GS if I can save enough between now and next spring.
@@adam346 you won’t regret it. I got the 310 GS as my first bike about 3 months ago and I’m absolutely LOVING it. I’m a short rider at 5’5” and it’s not at all too much to handle. Have taken it off-road a few times and even though I’ve come close, have not dropped it as yet(touch-wood). I still have A LOT to learn though.
@@johnnylima9632 neat, thanks for the info
@@johnnylima9632 are u on the default seat or the lower height seat?
@@skarrin6207 stock seat bud. But I think I might have slightly long legs for my height, not sure…
I have sold the bike in the meantime, though to admit. Just wasn’t as off-road capable as I liked. So I got a Honda CRF300L to replace the 310GS. So much lighter and more manageable, even though slightly higher, but it squats down a lot, so it’s lower or at least the same height than the GS while riding it! Much MUCH more fun bike overall for my uses, which was mostly unpaved roads and dirt. I don’t feel too safe on a bike on the public roads so I try to avoid them when I can.
It will be nice to see what next year's lists look like. Happy New Year's eve everyone and thank you to YammieNoob for getting me through all 3 lockdowns in the UK.
You ready for number 4 lad?
Not yet, Special K
Y'all outta be on like #7 by now yeah?
Yep😅Those coo* Dread'ds, i' opp'd Out Of Another FooLish😮😮 Game PLays to Ruin EveryThings@ Common FoLks.
The BMW G310 is not a rebranded TVS Bike! Its a BMW that‘s produced in India, just like most of your precious KTM´s.
One normal bike on this list for a beginner is the Hayabusa.
Now I will tell you what bikes really cool newbies ride in ukraine:
1. Legendary CB 400 SF (carburetor)
2. SV 650
3. Lifan kp 250
4. Drag star 400 (for Harley fans)
5. BOSS HOSS - V8
If you can get a 2008 or newer CB400SF, it'll be fi
I have a g310gs. I really like it. Pretty comfortable. Not over powered at all. Handles great. Amazing mpg. Good for riding around in the hills and stuff. Not for 80 mph stuff.
I almost got myself one, only thing that stopped me was that insurance was similar to the next class up in other brands where I am. I’d love if they brought out a 400-650 too, it’s a large jump from the 310 up!
So this was my beginner bike as well… probably wouldn’t have repeated buying this bike but it will do til I can afford something bigger to trade it for. It’s an amazing city bike and back road 55 mph but GOD does it suck for anything faster than 75 lol
very well described thank you
@@frankforster2868 if you buy one consider getting a front sprocket with an extra tooth if you are planning 70 mph+ trips. The clutch is a little tricky to get used to at first. First gear is honestly a little too tall for the small engine size IMO. Or six the gear could be taller depending how you look at it. I’m 5’ 10” and could flat foot this bike with a good boot. Rode this all summer in the Black Hills and had a lot of fun.
My first bike in 1990 was a Honda VTR250 Interceptor. I loved that bike and wish I still had it. You will always have a special place in your heart for your first bike so my advice is don’t sell it when you upgrade, you’ll regret it later on.
My father gave me his 1997 Bandit 600N as my first motorcycle when I passed my license a year ago
I certainly am planning to not sell it. I want to keep it in case my hypothetical children pass their own motorcycle license
Cb300r was my first choice and it's currently serving me very well
@@pleasedontwatchthese9593 it really is an amazing machine
Nice choice dude! I have mine for 2 moths and i love it :)
Stay safe!
I bought a 2019 CB300R a few weeks back, it's one sweet little bike!
My G310R has been a loyal traveling companion for 2 years now, I mainly picked it over other bikes in the class for the comfort and it's fit and finish, sure it's one of the slower bikes in it's class but I love riding it and I get nonstop compliments on it's looks! Also having a CDL-A to protect means speed isn't something I'm looking for in a street bike.
Yeah Rob, I rode a 2008 Yamaha WR250X for 12 years, for the same reason. Protect that CDL. 👍
@@garyh7188 I can't be trusted to act like a grown up on my bike as it is lmao as if I need something even faster 🤣
Just got my G310R I'm new to riding and I love it. I'm 53 yrs old it is the perfect beginner's bike for as style and ergonomics, smooth gear box when shifting makes learning so easy
Thank you for those words of wisdom and encouragement at the start, gonna be hopping on a new xr650 come spring, fingers crossed.
To me the best beginner bike only meets 3 conditions.
1 low cost to own and operate.
2 Retains its value for trade up.
3 won't get yourself killed making the first 2 conditions irrelevant.
All my conditions revolve around money since I'm poor lol.
Honda
@@jamesballard6564which?
@@jamesballard6564
What kind of Honda?
@@jad2290 Honda CB300, or even Yamaha MT-03, however I'm personally aiming at the BMW G310 which is surprisingly cheap 😂💪🏼💯...
Kawasaki Ninja 400 meets those specs for sure lol
I started on a DRZ SM and if I had to do it again I'd start on a DRZ SM (and keep it this time). I wanted a Ninja 650, but my moto mentor said, "You'll thank me the first time you drop it, it isn't a mangled mess and you're able to ride it home." I did exactly that three months later. It was also a lot of fun in big city traffic and I could actually flick through all the gears without blatantly breaking the law (unlike my next bike, a GSXR 750).
My gsxr750 was alright but no torque so less fun than a fz09 or fz07
I wasn't mature enough for my 750, so it was probably a good thing it was down on torque. lol
As an eurobro, I started on a 125 in september '21, and am already looking to get an A2 licence and an SV650 (which was my heartthrob for years).
Great way to end the year. I’m finally ready. Will get my license in january and my busa right after.
Thanks Yammie Noob and an happy new year.
Recently bought a 2021 drz400sm and absolutely love it! Did spring upgrades and some grippy tires and it kicks ass in the canyons!
@@pleasedontwatchthese9593 Yep mine came from the dealer with a full yoshi exhaust also!
Nice work. 1st Yammienoob video of 2022 (in Asia) and doesn't disappoint.
I started riding a couple months ago and my first bike is a Buell Xb9r.. fantastic learning experience
I started riding last year and I have a 23 BMW G310R and a 23 Ducati Nightshift Scrambler. I got the G310R first and it was amazing to learn on. It is very forgiving and everything just works. I picked up the Ducati last week as a step up and it’s pretty perfect. Vey happy with both bikes. Both may be beginner or semi beginner bikes but I don’t think I’ll want more. And thy look gorgeous!
So either way the top 2 are going to show you how to really getting into motorcycles since we never stop spending on our babies lol great video and congrats on 1 million subscribers happy new year
Great video Yam keep it up👍
Just bought my first bike 01 Suzuki SV 650s and man can't tell you how good it is all around. Only dirtbike before and got this bike and just love it!
Just got my 04 Suzuki katana 600 and ready for warm weather 🙏🏻
I started out on a Kawasaki Ninja 400 and loved everything about the bike. Just put it up for the winter but have been looking to upgrade to either a RS660 or a yamaha R7. Either way i pan on keeping the 400 because even now it's still had so much to teach me.
Starting my new year with this vid
Happy New Year Yammie and Everyone
Awesome video. Thanks 🤙🏻
As someone who was lucky to have the first sport bike to ride as an 09’ Busa. Had no clue it was what it was when I hopped on it. Made me want one. Ended up buying a 600cc, it was fun for a bit, learned wheelies and played around but was always longing for more. Now I’m at a 2021 R1 and it doesn’t disappoint. Have friends who are new, and aren’t comfortable riding on a 650cc because it’s too much bike for them. Everyone’s different. Def go with a Turbo Busa tho. Leave it in C mode 🤣
What is C mode?
Great vidz. Learning to ride here on a TW200 in Australia. These old bones were shit scared initially, now I realise just how slow this bike really really is:) Still heaps of fun....
Yammie man I love uu, What a role model to so many people, guys give it up to the legend
5:21 lol, it's Linus from Linus tech tips! Never thought I'd see him in a motorbike video!
I can't wait to get on the road. I just bought my first bike 2013 Ninja 300, still waiting for my MSF course in March and I am so excited.
Happy new year from Costa Rica. Ride safe!
Happy New Year Yammie Noob. .
Funny I’m watching this six months later. Picked up my first bike a month ago. MT-07 and I couldn’t be happier.
My first bike was a 50cc Honda moped in southern Italy for 2-1/2 years, but wildly unsafe for Las Vegas where i bought - in ‘88 - an 84 Honda CM450. The evening I got my permit I hightailed it down to San Diego. Bad idea with the stock seat; but I did it repeatedly.Rode that beast 10,0o0 miles a year for 3 years from Death Valley to 9,000 feetno problem - it was jetted for altitude -. Don’t discount old, but serviceable bikes. picked up an ‘83 Suzuki GS650 GL that’s still a joy to ride a few years ago for just $1500.
Happy new year noob
Got my first bike in the fall, found a great condition 2006 Kawi ER 6N. It's super confortable to ride, both in the city and out of it. Not the fastest thing out there but not a sloth either. I was only able to ride it for about 200 miles before winter came but cant wait for the weather to warm up a bit so I can get back on it.
another nice beginner bike is the yamaha xj6, its an inline 4 with low enough power (79hp) to not kill a beginner but it has that typical I4 sound and 13k rpm.
Thanks for this vid Yami, I was able to find a gen 2 hayabusa at a local Yamaha dealership.
Already settled the deal, going to pay $6359 cash for it, I should be out on it next week!
It’s going to be a great first ride
Bought a 2021 Tracer 7 GT as my first...... best choice I've made in my life. 🙌
I have watched dozens of your videos and clearly what passes for a 'good bike', 'beginner bike', 'city bike', 'highway bike' or 'dirt bike' in Texas (and obviously the rest of the US) is not always the best choice for other countries. Beginners where I live (and most of the rest of the world) are restricted to much lower powered bikes and most litre+ bikes are simply too fast to be of any practical use where speed limits are actively policed and are often around the 100 km/h (60 MPH for those who can't do the maths) and that's on the highway, city and town riding is often 50 km/h or less. I understand your audience is mostly US based, but bikes like to Enfield are solid choices as a fun, easy to ride multi purpose bike in many countries. PS, big capacity dirt bikes have always done it for me as a road bike, I have had a road kitted YZ490, and both an XR 500 and 650, you can't have more fun with your pants on!.
That must be a Europe thing? Here in Canada we also don't have stupid beginner bike rules thankfully! I like to have enough torque to move from a dangerous situation not get crushed while screaming redline on a cool looking scooter myself.
We don't have beginner bike rules or laws or anything. The motorcycle community took notice to beginners killing themselves on bikes because they have no throttle control and yank the throttle when doing almost everything. Lower powered bikes are more forgiving as they aren't as powerful and take off relatively slow and don't have a very high speed they can reach. So for others safety they make lists for learner bikes for new riders because Americans love learning on CZcams which isn't a bad thing. Instead of asking a random who rides a BMW s1000rr and he guides you to a bike not so beginner friendly as he was being sarcastic now you have no legs.. lol its just something we do to look out for eachother :)
In Europe, at least in many countries, that's just "young beginners". 24 or older can get the full spec license immediately.
In Finland we also had this notorious "gifted A", the motorcycle license given with the car license despite the driving training containing no motorcycle training. This practice ended in 1990(ish) but the old licenses are of course still valid. Fast forward to the late 90s, early 00s, import regulations change and a flow of affordable bikes (from mainly Germany starts). And then we had a bunch of boomers who absolutely they had magically mastered the art of motorcycling, needed no training and started on a VS1400.
60 on a highway??? Dude thats like mainroad through a city speed limit here in PA haha
I don't know what or where PA is, but TBH if you saw the roads in New Zealand, you would understand why the highway speed limit is 60.@@kadddddshad1424
Lol I was legit like I wonder what number one will be, and then you dropped the turbo busa and totally got me haha
I must day that was the best ad ever! I was watching this in the toilet and literally everyone heard me laughing out loud.... And no I wasn't doing the hanky oanky whilst looking at bikes... Or was I?
that has to be the best outro ever... tied with cowboy yam
Very informative 😂🙏❤️
As soon as the number 1 choice hit..i was like"yup,yammie has busa fever now.."
I wonder who gets their Beginner Bike brand new, i would simply grab some old Ninja 250 or so for a dirt cheap price and ride it as long as it serves me...
I did, but was 36 and wanted one since I was 8. Bought a Honda dirt bike once, but my friend took it apart in his garage faster then you can say with friends like you...?
@@godinminaar9024 your friend took your bike apart and never put it back together?
@@OtherDalfite It's 50/50 on whether it's put back together now, haven't lived there in 7 years. That's an example of why I'm anti-social af.
DRZ400 bikes are awesome. I didn’t get to try the SM, but any knobbies suck on the road. Being carb’d still kinda sucks, but they’re def a proven bike that rarely has any issues. I put my S in a pit of water deeper than the seat before (looked like a puddle when I approached it haha) and after just letting it dry a bit, it never hiccuped.
Coolest 'beginner' bike imo; MT03 660 (single cylinder) which can be picked up used in the UK for around £1,500 to £2,500. Bullet-proof engine, good torque, low seat height, light weight, very cool look and superb fun to ride. I owned one alongside a z1000sx for 5 years and I used to swing a leg over the MT more often than the Z.....it was just bloody great fun to ride.
Yeah i own a MT03 next to my VFR 1200
Dope little bike :)
I got the MT15 :3
Fuck it you sold me
Would that be because you can push the mt03 to its limits and not the z1000sx? I had a ninja 650 like 11 years ago? And my girlfriend at the time had a ninja 250 and honestly I think I had more care free fun on the 250.
For the SM or DRZ 400 you can get the Keihin carburetor and FMF exhaust kit. Turns it into a completely different bike. Also. I can't flatfoot a TW200. Hell I am on my toes on my HD Street Bob and one toe on my really lowered KTM 450EXC. I am seriously looking at getting ride of the KTM for 2 TW 200's. I don't ride it the way it needs to and the TW would be a great trail bike for us when we aren't riding our Harley's.
I sat on a Yamaha MT-03 after falling in love with it online and I did not feel that confident. The dealership guy suggested I sit on a Kawi z400 and I fell in LOVE. Bought it that same day
LOL I love how you always recommend the busa, that is a serious death machine for a beginner XD
LoL, Im on my 5th beginner bike. My first one was a 2stroke dirt bike (crashed and never got back on it again after the first pull away). My second one was a 125 BigBoy 4stroke. My third one was a 110cc Honda scooter. My forth one was a 150cc Honda Winner X. And now im with my Benelli BN302. Its big enough for daily use in the crowded streets of Vietnam and its big enough for a good road trip.
The ending is magic 😂
What a good way to start the morning
Wait both the BMW G300R and the Duke 390 are made in India does this mean that the Duke is a much better option? Happy new year Yam crew and thanks for a year of great videos.
This video was pretty interesting. But the Turbo ‘BUSA at the end chafed me. I was really looking for some subsistence YAMMIE! But u wounded me with ur humor & wit. So I’ll take this one on the chin. 😔😔
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
I learned on a TW200. They're pretty sweet.
Happy new year 🍾 🎇
Hell yeah I love my T-Dub! I jump on the highway plenty doing upwards of 70, though I try not to do that long and usually keep it around 60-65.
We just got a 2018 this year and it is the best!
Happy new years
Hahahahaha! I forgot how funny you are... Thanks for the list
The manscaped intro hahahhhahaha gets me everytime
Got to number 1… after seeing the other videos, I don’t know what I was expecting :)))))
I looked at the interceptor 650, and those service intervals are very, very short.
"KEEP WATCHING YAMMIE NOOOOOOB!" - Those last few seconds would have been terrifying on acid. :)
I had a 1980 Honda Cm 400 E, great bike cheap reliable got it used for $500 drove it 5 yrs sold it for $350. 58 MPG, had an after market sissy bar and luggage rack. cable Drum Brakes, tires with tubes, chain drive. the E model was the Economy model. they had a Hawk 400 more sporty mag wheels disc breaks and a Cm 400 Automatic which i heard was slow .
The Ninja EX 500 was a solid first bike. Loved it. Would love to own one again.
With gas prices these days I’m really thinking about getting a bike for work to home. Liking the Yamaha MT 03.
Did you purchase it yet?
2017 Drz400sm was my first bike. I miss her terribly.
Happy New Years! toooooot!
Could you do a review of the klx 300sm or crf 300L
I started last year with a Kawa er6n, (ninja 650 without fairings). Bought it from the driving school as they were updating their equipment to new Suzuki sv650's. The bike has a lot of scratches so it was great when i dropped it at the gas station :D Only thing i feel i'm missing out is that i haven't used full gas at all... AM I MISSING OUT or not learning something?
The heck is “full gas”?
The V-Strom 250 is another good option for a Beginner. A good Dadjeans Start ;-)
yep, 2 days ago i had my first motorcycle lesson
lets hope i have my license before summer :)
Got a Duke 390 few months back love it
I have the G310R its an awesome little bike!
Speaking of the rebadged TVS have you tried the RR310? I felt that the experience to ride that was better than the GS310 and G310R.
Nonsense
I am hoping 2022 is the year I get on a more powerful set of two wheels. I am considering upgrading from my Rebel 300 to a Honda Shadow.
hi guys ive been riding a 150cc scooter for the last 2 years and im planning to buy something bigger. should i go for a versys 650 or an MT-07 and just add boxes to make it be like an adventure bike. not gonna go offroad anyways. which one is more starter friendly?
15 seconds yes sir
@@bananalad4387 I'm 3rd
Love to see Linus there painted as Kyle XD
Off topic, but please could you do a review of a fireblade, that is not the brand new one, but rather maybe a 2006 fireblade. I just want to see my papa yam ride the bike I have, and see what you think of it....
Love you Yammie, thanks for the years of teachings.
I've no regrets about starting on my 690 Duke... other than the price.
Re: G310R - TVS is made in India but under BMW supervision, reqs, etc. I love it as a my first beginner bike! (Hilarious... I DO have an M5 but that is totally by coincidence hahaha) I feel a REAL BMW bike is like the 1250RS. I just came back from visiting the UK and those are EVERYWHERE as everyone just sport tours around the islands. the G310R is more rare, but it reminds me of riding with my cousins on standards in India village and backroads when I visit. I live in the DC area and no regrets so far. I also don't feel its boast-worthy to talk about a 300cc bike. haha
Had the pleasure of starting to ride last year on my honda rebel 500. I live that bike to death.
NC750X $8500, easy to ride 31.7 seat height, Low rpm high torque makes for good beginner bike that you can grow into. Also great all rounder for touring.
So happy to see that the trident is not on this list
Unfortunately, Ducati doesn't make the Sixty2 anymore and good luck finding one new somewhere out there
Hey yammie, im a 16yo german whos (10hrs from this comment) hopefully just got their A1 license, being 6'6 tall i had to settle on a 2001 Honda varadero 125, looking to upgrade in 2 years, whatd be some great bikes (regardless of engine size) for taller folks like me? Itd be nice to see a video on that
2022 will be my year
Yammie Boosa is the safest machine ever ... safely installed in a mechanics' shop!
You make a strong argument for the Turbo Busa as the best beginner bike. :-P
I zoned out for a second so the ad literally just slide out of no where I had to check to see if I skipped to another video
I'm looking for one bike that I can learn on as a beginner that can handle rides around town, rough roads, and the occasional light offroading in national parks
Is the CB500X a good choice?
Here for the T-Dub Love! Best farm bike ever.
Just put my deposit on my Busa, thanks Yammie
*gets offended in BMW* haha! Yammie, you need to test ride the S1000R/RR!! would be great to see your thoughts on them when on one.
