Nice vid yammy, but you missed the obvious. I think the R1 is the best first bike... I mean, it has the number „1“ in its name.. duh! If it‘s to wild you can opt for the milder version, the R1M.
Lmbo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 inleterally just bursted out in a fit of laughter!
that M smooth power delivery will bring fun learning experience
Or superior version, R1S
@@yammienoob There's also an R15. A 150cc R series bike for emerging markets. Yammy just launched their R15 V3.0. Take a look!
nah turbo busa and ninja h2 are the only reasonable options
My first bike was a Ninja 250. I rode it almost everyday for 2 years before I sold it and bought an R6. The Yamaha is fun, but I honestly wish I still had the Ninja because it was honestly the perfect commuter bike due to it’s weight, comfort, reliability, and rideability . I put it through absolute hell, but I still ended up selling it for a lot more than I bought it for.
Comfort???
I love when you tell me I can get a turbo Busa

Don't knock the ninja 250's till you've owned one. Since theres very little hp you have to become a good rider by necessity just to keep up with 500's and 650's in the twisties
Had my 250 Ninja for 10 years so far, nothing overrated about it, fun, cheap, reliable, beautiful & easy to operate. Naturally if I had the money I'd go the 600 now but the 250 has been stellar.
Finally the mention of a cruiser, and NOT with a negative connotation. There are cruiser riders that love your content Yammie Noob
I started on a Rebel 250. Guys who start on bigger bikes will make fun of you, but if you put in the seat time, you'll probably out ride a lot of them when you upgrade, possibly before. If you're just wanting to floss, go ahead and get whatever you want, but I'm not going to be as impressed as you might think by how much you spent or how fast your bike is if you can't ride worth a shit. You can draw a crowd of spectators on a little 250 practicing in a parking lot if you ride the shit out of it, and those skills translate quite naturally to bigger bikes. I gave up cruisers because I hate scrubbing pegs on pavement, but starting an a small cruiser was a great decision, and I have no regrets.
@@michaellovell2518 I started on a VT 1100c But I'm a big boy
@@notsteve1475
LOL, yeah, I get it. I'm 5'7" and around a buck and a half. The Rebel is too cramped even for me for more than an hour or so. I can totally understand why big guys wouldn't ride one, even to start on, but a 6' 200 lb. guy is going to find it easier to handle a bigger bike than us midgets. We have seat height issues that loom more heavily on our decisions, and bigger often equates to stronger, so the weight of a starter bike could be less of an issue for a bigger guy as well. I was really intimidated by big bikes at first, but after riding the 250 for a while, I put my fears aside and attended a HD demo event. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the weight was not an issue. HDs are low and I found them very easy to manage, but I was tired of grinding the pegs off cruisers. I rode to Daytona in October and started sitting on bikes. I really liked the FJR1300, but it felt really tall and top heavy to me. I didn't have any trouble riding it, but I had to hang off one side to firmly plant one foot. I was torn, but I wanted a little more than the Rebel had to offer, so I pulled the trigger when Kawi offered huge incentives on left over Ninja 650s. I rode it for a year, then revisited the FJR, and it feels completely different now. With the seat in the lower position, I feel really comfortable on it now.
When I talk about "bigger bikes" in this context, It should certainly be understood to be a relative term. I think it's important to be able to flatfoot your first bike, and the bigger you are, the bigger bike you can flatfoot. I think lighter is probably better for anybody to learn on, but it's less important than being able to plant both feet firmly starting out. I don't think really powerful bikes are a good idea for beginners, but I also understand that a 300 lb. guy on a 250 would be like me riding a 5hp minibike. The size of the rider is definitely a relevant variable!
@@michaellovell2518 Did you see my morning weigh in LOL
That CTX is one of the ugliest bikes i've ever seen.. Pretty sure It'll haunt me in my dreams from now on, thanks Yam!

@@sarthakkokane5776 So proud of you!
you mean crappy lube?
Me too wait isn’t that a thing #me too... wait what pound me too, seriously no homo though....
I only watch for the Yammie Facts tbh
My first bike was an 09’ 250r... hell of a bike. It was actually kinda cool to learn on a carbureted motorcycle due to the sometimes finicky power delivery. Overall it was a beastly little bike that could carry me at 85-90 on NJ highways for 2-3 hours at a time!! They’re built tough
5:22 definitely a brown pants moment
I agree
Yammie you’re on fire 🔥 with all these videos lately. Thanks for another great one
You're absolutely killing it dude! Love the new content!!!
If by killing it you mean his bikes and image yea he killed that! 😂 I kid I kid we all wreck shit happens but he does seem to jump without looking gotta stop that and he will be alright!
I love my ninja 250, was a great beginner bike and ill probably continue using it for the rest of this year or summer at the earliest. I agree with the rpm thing though, highways im sitting at 8-9k rpms. So it is running high, but you also gotta realize that bike can go up to 13k before hitting redline, they are designed based off running high rpms so it will be fine for awhile going those speeds, Id like to upgrade in the future when money isnt an issue but I dont plan on going past a 600cc. I just ride for fun, no track days so I dont want anything faster then that!
I owned 3, ran each on the freeway almost daily for an hour or longer each day at 9k+. Never had a single issue after thousands of miles on each machine. They're literally built for it.
@@bryanharrison3889 Ya they are solid machines, I did upgrade to a 600 shortly after this comment. And no longer ride anymore unfortunately. But the 250/300s are plenty capable machines!
Ive got a ninja 250 and did a 500km ride in my first week. Couldnt feel my ass at the end of it lol
💚 Ninja 250
Sadly I also got bitten by the motorcycle bug
me too even after breaking my leg i wanna keep riding
Sad on the wallet, but not on the mind.
Congratulations!
Kris Same my man. I also have the aviation and automotive bug. Basically if it cost a ton of money and can kill me... I probably want it. 😂😂
Oh man, me too. Got bit and dragged a ways. Took a riding course, bought a bike, saving for a track bike, quit my job in healthcare and now I sell motorbikes. I went a bit mental. Didn't see that comin 😂
I got the ninja 250 as my first. I definitely don’t see myself dying on this. It’s light and reliable. I can pick it up easily if it falls over and the throttle control feels balanced.
Really lovin all this content, good stuff
I love getting home from work and having some sweet Yammie content waiting in the feed!
Instead of the rebel 300, get the rebel 500. It's got plenty of power for interstate riding and is perfect for beginners and experienced riders.
I was waiting for someone to say something. Saves you a nice chunk of change when compared to the Phantom as well.
And good luck finding a Shadow with ABS, while i've seen plenty of Rebel 500 with ABS both new and used.
Although for my money the CB500F all day
This! I got a 15 rebel 300 abs for a good price and as a tubby guy I should have gotten the 500. The 300 is amazing but you can tell it lacks highway power.
@@anthonysilvestri4946 lol working on it.
I've been riding my 2017 Rebel 500 for a year now and I'm glad I chose it over the 300. Especially since I commute daily on the highway. So far I've topped out at 106 mph and even though I wish I could go faster I probably shouldn't for my life expectancies sake
Get Versys 650, it's the right kind of balance for everything. Jack of all trades. Love it.
Video Information it may the “jack of all trades” but as for how it looks sorry I’m not a fan ...
Love you man
I like the out takes dude, keep up the great vids
Got a ninja 500 as my first bike 2 years ago and still ride it. It's a forgiving bike that's easy for a beginners but has top end power that's pretty fun once you get comfortable with it. Not bad on road trips either. definitely recommend.
Papa Yam the FZ 07 is the fastest LAMS approved bike (Learbers approved motorcycles) in Australia (and other countries with restrictions for learners)
Love your work Yammie, major kudos for your classical backing music.

2:24 That's JS Films. He's a moto vlogger too!
Well after almost 30 countries and regions (Europe, Alps, Central Asia, Scandinavia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Russia etc.) with my NC750X I have to say it’s a great adventure bike. Certainly as good as the V-Strom if not better :) the older stroms are fine but the new once tend to brake under pressure and heavy luggage (especially the frame).
Glad you have made good use of your NC750X, you've been to some varied countries with it, sounds fun. I had a look at the NC750 naked platform as a commuter bike for a daily 90 mile round trip. Decided to stick with the bikes I currently have but should I change in future I'd happily hop on a NC. I loved that there are lots of places for putting you gear into the bike away from prying eyes. Getting you helmet safely under the tank is genius.

For a beginner adv bike I think the Versys X300 would be a good place to start. A lot of people have been surprised that it can actually do off road rather well and I've seen them new for under 5K.

Any recommendations for an old fart getting back into the game after around a 15-year hiatus. Started riding at around 10 and had my motorcycle permit at 15; before I got my car permit. Rode until the ripe old age of around 30. Life took me out of the game for 15 years or so, but I’m at a point where I can get back into it. That said, I’ve been out of it so long l, I don’t know where to begin. Was always a crotch rocket guy, but these days I think I’d like a hybrid. These bikes look pretty good (well, other than the Rebel), but I’m wondering if I’d outgrow them too fast.
Similar to you - but 6, not 15. Love the 2020 Honda Rebel 500 with ABS. Really well done, lots of upgrades, and my body enjoys it a lot more for longer rides than the sports bikes.

Hey yammy sweet video. I was just wondering what kind of bike is the white triumph in the starting of the video
What do you think of the ktm duke 390? Any thoughts for beginners on that sexy beast?
Ian Baker great looking bike and a lot of fun but I worked at a service shop and saw a few of the 390’s and 690’s come in with top end issues. I’m on my 3rd Asian bike and love them because parts are cheaper and easier to install than on euro bikes
Gaming Badass I am aware of their popularity there but I’m not sure why. I’m not a hater of ktm’s I think they’re awesome (especially the duke 690 that torque will put your eyes in the back of your skull) but euro bikes are too finicky for me me in my opinion same as like a bmw or Audi great machines but could have expensive issues
chris doheny he was just explaining the differences in popular bikes depending on where he lives. I think the important thing is that people are riding it’s dying off with younger generations like mine and it sickens me so as long as people are riding doesn’t matter to me what it is lol
I've owned both an RC390 and a Duke 390. They are both fantastic to ride. I can definitely recommend them, just be ready to take it to the shop when you need a valve adjustment because doing it yourself is a pain in the ass. Performance is good, too. Check my channel, I have a video of me tearing it up on my RC390.
chris doheny no I get that I’m just not exposed to it as much. I live in the Midwest so only riders are really Harley guys I was the only one at my 3000 person high school who rode

I kinda had an "oof" moment when I saw the MT-07 on this list as that's the bike I have my eyes set on, but I recovered when I saw that the SV650 is what you recommend over it as that's my second favorite naked bike (aesthetically speaking of course). Didn't know they could be acquired for that low either.
Yam. What do you think about Yamaha MT 03 or what do you think about the MT series?
Here in Europe we can get used previous gen MT-03 with 660cc single. Sweet, hooligan-ish, awesome looking, baarping beauty
@@ProjectExMachina Idk if u replyed to me or to Yammie but i'm from Europe too and the MT 03 looks SLICK. Tho i heard that has lots of vibrations bcs it's a single.
@@jagermeister4957 Sorry, I presumed that you are from US. I plan to purchase braap-mobile next year, I literally dream about it. If you use it for intended purposes - city and short twisties, I guess that vibrations are not such big deal but even maybe add to hooligan feeling. I think that bigger issue should be that it runs on lean mixture so you have occasionall stalling and cut-off but there are available controllers for fix.
@CalangoPI _ Does it feel any different?
I think if you're going to buy a 300 the only choice is a dirt bike, that's the only good 300 cc bikes
Almost 300K congrats

That's so nice refference :D
In 2011, I bought two new bikes for myself, as a beginner. The first, a 2003 Suzuki SV650S - a fun v-twin upright sportbike-style standard. I loved it, and still do. It wasn't the most comfortable or the fastest (of course), but it was seriously everything I needed or wanted. And yes, it had no problem meeting my needs as I grew as a rider.
The second bike was a 2005 Suzuki Boulevard C50. That Boulevard was flat-out amazing. A full bagger, with a windscreen (yes, many people hate the windscreen, but whatever), a comfortable seat, floorboards, and a reliable design. Once again, I love that bike.
Before I moved from SoCal to central Minnesota, I had to sell the bikes. I wish I never had. I miss them. Yeah, it's tougher to ride in Minnesota (and you can't ride for more than a few months), but I still miss the feeling of joy I had when it came time to drive to work or drive back home. I miss the ability to just take off for a few hours and center myself.
Anyway, I totally "second" the mention of the SV650. It's an amazing bike for beginners, and quite good for experienced riders.
Some of us can’t help if we are 5’5” so some of us need a 250 ninja 😢
The cbr1000 seems like a solid beginner bike to me. Not too fast, pretty comfy, and it's perfect for residential/suburban areas since it isn't too loud.
Or the 6 cylinder 24 valve cbx version, quite and tame.

I want a motorcycle. I’m basically brand new. I see you recommending all these 650cc bikes and it just seems to scare me as I am new. Would you really say that a 600-650 is okay for a pure newb?
Matthew Short if you don’t feel comfortable there’s nothing wrong with getting a lower cc bike being a pure newb you wanna be able to feel the bike out properly and be able to take corners with confidence. I say you get a lower cc bike and feel more comfortable. Nothing wrong with it😊
Imran Khan I appreciate that response
I've been riding an 08 ninja 250r that i found with 1.5k miles for $2.4k. I'm a short light weight dude (5'6" 135 lbs.) for about a couple of months in accumulated riding/ practice time. Obviously its definitely a fun bike for me. I have used my friends R6 and that thing is insane compared to mine but i like mine more. It is bias but i will say that its a more comfortable riding position and i feel that the r6 is too much to be on the streets (perfect for the freeways though).
I will say that i've never been an adrenaline junkie and that i wanted to ride a motorcycle for sheer convenience of getting through traffic and having a backup vehicle. Power like that can get you in some unnecessary trouble but specially as a beginner with nerves and all and not having the throttle control or downshifting down. The 250 does leave me desiring for a bit more on the freeways but it gets the job done albeit like yam said at high rpms. It's not a problem for me since I dont ride that long on the freeway anyway though . Max 10 minutes to my destination.
Still though I definitely believe everyone should own a small displacement bike they are just too much fun unless power and flexing your nuts is all you care about. Im only talking about sport bikes as those are the only ones i have ridden. This is not to say higher displacement bikes are a no go but as a sheer noob stand point you cant go wrong and you will want to keep your small cc bike if you can. Have i gotten the feeling of wanting more power? Yes. Would i trade my 250r for another higher power bike? No, i would like to have both lol.
Got a ninja 400 a few weeks ago. Perfect for beginners and I can tell I’ll be keeping it for a long time 👍🏼
Hey. First bikes i ever road was a Kawasaki 600 and 2005 HD supergilde. Im small. I felt more comfortable on the kawasaki but HD was also fun. Just weighed alot. Don't be scared. Have some self control and awareness when driving.
