For real
Started on an MT-07, two years after taking the MSF and forgetting everything I learned. Putting around my residential area and avoiding major roadways and freeways for a few months was scary enough until I gained confidence and comfortability on the bike. I can't imagine starting on something like BMW M 1000 RR.
*starting and finishing* on a 1000 RR hah
It's not that hard. Practice and ride within your comfort and skill level.
Sure you can imagine it. Other than riding position, its the same. You think the S/M1000RR will launch you into the stratosphere at 1000rpm? No, you have to get into its powerband. Be smart and you can start on anything.
@@tayx2 but but muh power is gonna kill you! What if you don't know at all what you're doing and just wrong the throttle 100% open in first gear from a dead stop and then dump the clutch??? Why do we entertain protecting fools to begin with. In this say vein, I say we limit every new driver to a Fiat 500 for their first 2 years driving, then they can have wasted their money buying that then move up in "tiers" two or three times until they finally get the car they ACTUALLY wanted
do you still have the mt-07?
My biking history has been a Ninja 400, zx6r, Marauder 800 and an R1 in that order. Definitely glad I took the time to learn on the smaller bikes first, but also definitely glad I got my R1. So far, respecting the machine and keeping the cockiness in check have proven to be a pretty successful formula.
Thinking of boosting from 400 to a Honda super hawk any advice for something that a guy with 2 years on a starter bike might not expect when divebombing a liter?
@alabasteracolyte976 kinda what I said in my original comment, just respect the machine and go into each ride with humility and you'll be fine. If the superhawk is the bike I'm thinking of you should be okay, those didn't make nearly as much power as modern liter bikes. I'm not knocking it, just a fact that roughly 115hp will be more like a modern 600cc motorcycle.
@BrandoRando It does sound amazing. The sound and the styling were the main reasons I went with the R1 over any other liter bike.
may I ask why did you opt for R1 and not h2?
Started totally fresh on a 2012 Triumph Speed Triple ABS 1050cc. Didn't even realize how terrifying it was until I did a unintentional power wheelie passing farm equipment. Obviously still dumb, I traded it in after a year for a 2018 Triumph Tiger 1200, which was MUCH heavier, but still had more power and torque with it's 1215cc engine. Loved that bike and did a couple cross country motocamping/offroad trips, but the weight and heat eventually got to be too much, and I wanted something with less power that matched my back-road commuting route better. Fell in love with Moto Guzzi, and after two years traded the Tiger in for a 2016 Moto Guzzi V7ii Stornello that I ADORE. It's everything I've wanted in a motorcycle, minus the suspension which is a simple enough fix. Everything else is amazing though, and I see myself sticking with this bike forever, and focusing on adding more bikes to the stable.
I agree with the last part of your comment (never tried a Triumph). I started with a Guzzi 750 Stornello 2016 as well few months ago after 20 years of a break riding (Honda & Suzuki) and I don't regret it. Since, I've tried a Guzzi Griso 1100 (powerfull) and a Guzzi California (too heavy) both good bikes but not so fun for a beginner in my opinion. I also tried the VT85 great bike but not for beginner neither, I think the new V7 special or Bobber 850 would be a good fit for a beginner or 1st bike, I tried them as well and they are light, fun, and safe bikes to ride.
The Stornello procures the pleasure of riding with enhancing the skills at the same time; good compromise for a first bike with it city and country/dirt road capacities. I'll keep mine as well, with the addition of another one when an new opportunity will pop-up.
@@stephanh.6610 I really want to test the new V100 as a faster addition to the stable.
@@LHT-Casual Good option with comfort for longer rides; the downside with the Stornello, not meant for long cruising rides on highways.
I agree in most circumstances it is more wise to start on a lower displacement motorcycle. Coming from a zero motorcycle experience to going straight to a 1000 is a bit much. As soon as I completed the MSF I went to go to a dealership and purchased my first bike. I was looking at the zx6r however I just loved the body style of the new redesign of the zx10r. I did get the liter bike as my first bike however with all the riding assist it has I was able to work my way into the power this machine has. Safe to say if you know what you want I recommend to get what you want but to always ride within your limits and not the riders around you. Still love my bike and have no regrets but I respect the machine I ride. Good content as always
The gsxr 1000 is what I started on this year. I made it through the 1st summer. We'll see how things go.
Be safe Gixxer bro squid
I just started on a 22 gsxr 1000r. But i do have experience around dirt bikes and atv’s, so i know how to shift and control a two wheeler. For the first 1000Km i did not leave the area around the house avoiding high traffic areas and highways.
This video is on point 👍🏻👍🏻

Bought my r1 the day after I turned 19. BUT I have 15 years of riding experience. Been riding/racing dirt bikes since the age of 3. Came pretty naturally to me on my r1…
This was me I was riding a yz450f I felt like I would be disappointed in a 600. I bought my first road bike in July this year it’s a 22 cbr1000rr. Put 3200 miles on it so far and I love every sec.
I bought an mt09 in march as my first bike. I knew it was a bad decision but i justified it because i had ridden quads and dirtbikes in the past. The first time i got on it and the front wheel came up was my "oh shit" moment, this thing could kill me. I rode it around in b mode for a month or two and slowly got the hang of everything and learned how the bike would react to inputs. If you take your time and don't get over confident you can start on anything, but I would not suggest to anyone to do that. If you want to start on something "fast" just get an mt07, it wont kill you but its plenty fast for the street.
My first bike was actually a 2004 yamaha R1. It was my first bike because my father had passed away, and I inherited his bike.
The FZ6 and SV 650 are great "starter" bikes that will leave your internal squid satisfied without threatening your life right off the bat. I'm cruising @ 70mph today On my FZ and a gang of 8-10 liter bikes passes me on the left doing well over 100. I'm like "nope, not today Satan". I'm two months in and still learning. I'm just having fin downshifting and rev matching which I learned from the Yam last week. Thanks Yammie.
Let's talk
What’s fun to do on an empty highway is to speed up and try learning how hard you can actually “slam” on your brakes. Doing that has undoubtedly saved me, especially if you typically Ride at a faster pace than traffic!
FZ6 S2 my first road bike as well. 100hp is more than enough to get started I figure 🤟
Started on a 1976 Honda CB750F Super Sport ... that was more than a handful to start out on.
.Let's talk
When I was younger, I remember the first-time riders that wanted to wheelie, burn out and go really fast the very first time on a bike. They didn't really know where the brakes or gear change stuff was, but that wasn't important. Looking cool in front of their friends was important. A few weeks later they would be telling everyone how dangerous motorcycles are and you are bound to die almost immediately.
Let's talk
Huh?
I was on a rebel 250 for 3 weeks, a ninja 500 for 8 months and then the CBR1100 from there on. But let me say, the CBR1100 felt SO EASY.. low center of gravity and easy to flatfoot..and incredibly smooth. But it was good that I had the time on the other bikes.. I've ridden for over a decade and have never dropped a bike or been down (although had one tip over on sidestand). It's a good idea to start on something lightweight and cheap. And don't knock the little rebel 250.. I've often picked those up just to fix and flip and I've had fun on them.. even after riding superbikes..yes, I can hop on the rebel and enjoy the day. The rebel had a hp flaw most don't know about. The crankcase dump tube needs to be emptied frequently so the air filter doesn't get coated in oil but also relocated to the carb boot instead of the air filter. Honda put a nipple on the air filter and it ends up coating the air filter and it will steal power..more than you think.

@@WillBaileyHoldfastNetworks yeah man I got a steal on a flawless ninja 500r and it was a big difference compared to the 18hp rebel. Ninja 500r had 60hp. Had like 6k miles and was actually a quick lightweight bike.. had a lot of fun on that one. I probably should've started on that one
Started on a 2008 R1 at 15 in Kentucky never touched anything else before still have the same bike 17k miles later never laid over. Alot of close calls and scares but it can be done. If you want to go fast then get a car with a full cage if you respect the bike and don't push it it will go a long way at keeping you alive. Selfcontrol and don't get complacent is key. I'm 30 and still afraid of it, and that's a good thing. Stay safe!

I started out on a 1993 Honda cbr600f2 back in 2001. I loved the power band of that bike. Sounded amazing in the Vance and Hines exhaust. I now have a 2005 Harley sportster 883 just to cruise around on. I love it. I don't want anything fast or big or heavy. Get a bike that suits you. Don't buy something because everyone else likes it. You do you.
I'm just going to start on an MT-07. I see myself riding it for a while, and from what I hear, it's a solid first bike option.
I started on borrowed bikes. A ton of different ones, from a Suzuki thumper to a Gixxer. I've also been riding electric ones (Zero, Livewire). When I tried a lightweight electric bike, it was so controllable and fun, it convinced me to buy my first bike, a Yamaha R3. I couldn't be happier. This video is perfect for all beginners/less experienced riders. Thank you!
Pretty much everything you said rings true with one glaring exception. LIFE IS NOT LONG!! It is short, very short, especially if you are having fun. No you don't have all the time in the world, so don't procrastinate, get the smaller bike, learn to ride then step up, but don't take too long. IMHO.
And life certainly won't be long when you start on a liter bike lmao
@@yeetusweebus5067 cant wait to die :) idk what to start w i prolly will get a r6

Bought a 22 MT-07 as a starter bike. Had it for about an month and a half until I rode my friends R6, and realized that was the riding experience I wanted. Sold it, and bought a 14 Hayabusa. Been riding it for the past few months. Awesome, and terrifying bike all in one 😅
Your taste of an r6 led you to a Busa? Those are nothing alike. Weight, handling, riding position, power delivery, all so different.
@@chuck1622 I wanted the sport bike feel, instead of the naked bike. I liked the lower riding position, and sound of 4cyl more than the MT.
I have been riding for 6 years now and i started on a 750 ninja from 95.
then i went to a 400 and now i ride a 2003 Fireblade.
It worked out fine but i wish i had known this chanel back then.
Would have made for easier and faster progress.
ı started with 250 cc kawasaki bike and Im just happy. it is not all about speed and power. Riding experience is great even if you don't have 1000cc rrr bikes.
My first bike was a 2006 YZFR1. I paid cash for it in 2009. I still own it today...along with five other motorcycles. It's still my favorite bike.
I started on a 890 duke R last year, no regrets. Rider aids helped me grow into it. Handles great and is fast enough that I have no desire for a bigger bike.

I just got my very first bike a week ago and went for a Ninja 400. A lot of people say that you’ll get bored of it fast but i wouldn’t feel comfortable learning on a 600cc and higher. Maybe i could learn on a 600cc but I’m actually fine with my 400.
I started on a 250cc which had been dropped several times before and had a dash held on by gaffa tape. Of course I dropped it several more times learning to ride. I bought the bike from a guy I was training martials with and didn't have a license at the time. Riding home that night on wet roads I was pretty nervous and super careful. Still I managed to wheelie it across the intersection when I accidently let the clutch out too quick from a stop sign. I don't know if I would have even made it home had I been on liter bike.
i was that dumbass who started on a 04 cbr 1000rr. do not recommend it. start on something you can learn the basics the right way.
yep, same here 2002 GSX-R 1000 here, I learned SO much more on my VFR as second bike :)
I feel like a rocket 3 is a good start. If starting on a liter bike is good than a 2 liter bike is better!
I started on a drz400, learned a ton
I started on a CBR1000rr, definitely a bit nerve wracking at first, but after a month, and over a year now of riding, i have gotten more comfortable, even installed a quickshifter for some semi spirited riding.
There is a section in the video for y'all. Check it out

I had been riding old CB's for 30 years before getting my Ninja 1000. I didn't have a problem until I grabbed the brake to stop in the parking lot. Luckily the wind screen stopped me from going all the way over. On my 81 CB 900, you grab the front brake and squeeze hard. You do NOT do that on the Ninja. Accelerating on a 1000 is better than a drug.
It IS a drug. It's called adrenaline, and I love it!
Started on an 800+ lb 1560cc. No wrecks. Still riding. You guys have a throttle right? No, it’s not for everyone. Be safe.

Yammie. the editing on this is stunning. This may be one of the best edited videos I have ever seen anywhere. From the old guy in the Harley gear, showing his Colors at the start, that I'd like to walk up to, shake his hand and say, how's it going brother, to the ancient vaudeville silent to the smoking doll with the vacant stare and the rolling back shot of the bike that is just smooth cruising like they own the road, this video is amazing. Your words seen in perfect time, right on screen. This is some great Yammie content right here.
Well said Yam. There is a thing that pilots call "seat time", and well worth obtaining some while the stakes are low (i.e. with a lighter, lower HP bike).
Fighter pilots start their training in slow prop planes for a good reason - you get seat time on the slow, cheap, stable, predictable, low power machine before you get trusted with the twitchy, unpredictable, expensive fast jet. Same principle applies to bikes, unless you have cash to burn totalling several sports bikes and sets of gear. Not to mention medical bills...
Sell it while it is still intact. Is probably the best advice. Unless you can respect this machine, have self control and skill to not only ride it but avoid danger sell it. Wish someone told me that when I was 18. Too late I'm addicted to bikes now but I learned the hard way.
Life won’t be as long for me as for most. Been retired for a while. Last rode a very built 600cc Norton Dominator. That after six months and two bottom ends on a 250 Yam scrambler. A half a dozen years of being the man on the street in a large university town.
The love of my life recently overcame her lifelong fear of motorcycles, and agreed to a budget for a project bike.
Six months later a Matt Capri built 02 Daytona 955i. 15+% increase across the entire range.
Don’t want an electronic semi self driving bike. I want that consistent higher than stock performance. for your information my doctor says I have what it takes to ride. And getting from surprised to where I am now. Happyfrom my wife’s encouragement. And my new street drag sort of sleeperliter bike.
I’ll be a mostly hood boy and stay off the throttle except at the strip. Think I can get into the mid tens. Beats rocking chairs and golf carts.
My wife still swears she will never ride it. But she keeps asking what will keep her from falling off. So I will be cautious but not timid. It will be spring before I’m ready to roll. But having my project has helped me in multiple ways.
Mine may not be a good choice for everyone but it has taken fifteen or twenty years of aging off.
Don Garlits is building and racing open class e-bikes in his 90s. I rest my case. But I need a better pillion and tail solution. All part of the fun.
Always drove with tricked out scooters when i was younger. Started on a cb600f model 2003 and started to build my skills and i have no regrets. Not even gonna buy a liter. I don't need that. Honda Cbr 650rr is my dream tho 🤩✨
How could a cbr650 be your dream🤣
I "started" on a liter bike. It wasn't a great experience. It was also a death machine that I managed to put back together after I got it from Copart for $1000. I only wanted the engine, but fixing it to "ride" on felt like an option. It was fine around the neighborhood but I never got it licensed to put onto the road.
I did it backwards my first bike was a 2005 zx10 now I have a 2022 mt07 and a have no regrets I love it
started on a ´88 SR500, it was so much fun in ´92. Now going to a Svartpilen 401 - enough fun for me. This whole 4 cylinder 100 hp was never interesting for me.
I got mi license 2 months ago, and I started on a R7, and I think it’s a good bike to start in since u get the feeling of a liter bike. And it’s a good bike to grow in, if u feel comfortable with such a bike
Started on a fazer 600 it really grounded me. Wheeled of lights outside the dealership sacred the shit out me but I'm alive after a couple of years had learned enough to buy a busa and love it.
From central Europe or as Yam would say...EURObro 😁 Got my A license then started on VFR1200F as a 29y/o,then shit myself to death at the beginnings..but choose to ignore the devil on my sholuder. Go slow. Go safe. Full geared on. Follow my own pace in a group ride though I was always last I choose to enjoy the ride rather than try to keep it up with the pace. Done my first two track days..learned a lot to be honest. About 15.000ish mls later..no incidents whatsoever.
I’m on the slower path, Kawasaki kd80 in my youth then nothing for years. A 125 at age 55 - then a few years later (no riding) another 125; recently acquired a Suzuki GW250 (2019 with ABS) while living in China. I do really enjoy the 250 - it’s a bit heavy but really stable and smooth. I love getting out into the countryside and cruising - it’s enough for me (for now😉).
Been riding for years. Tooting around town on a new cbr500r. I've had allot of bikes. And keep em forever ... If I have over 100 mph headroom , I'm good. I'm sorry I forgot what yammie classifies me as but. I don't need to go 200 mph at 60 yrs old. I like smaller displacement. more fun in the city. I can get out of first gear.
I actually just bought my bike before even getting my endorsement lol (got it a couple days later). But you'll be happy to know I didn't get a liter bike, actually went with a 2020 Grom! So far it's pretty fun and learning on it. Glad I started out on this instead of something that has 10-20x the horsepower
That price tag of my 2021 harley davidson fat boy at harley in NY gave me the same feeling and my hairs stood up but man I love it
Yes I started on a 250 Gixxer for 3 weeks wrote it everyday twice to downieville from Nevada City where I live and the third week that day ending day I went and got me a 2017 Yamaha FZ 10 and it is a beast like they call it I fear it every time I get on it and it's louder than hell I love it to death I will never get rid of it it will go to 2 the grave with me

Without a doubt... if you start off on a smaller manageable bike, your skills will be so much better. If you start off on a liter bike or other powerful bike, then you will never ever never be able to have the same skill that you would have had...had you have started on a smaller bike.

first ever street legal motorcycle was an electra glide (im currently 24 was 22 when i got it) was not impressed at all (still not impressed by the handling or power) but it makes cool noises and looks cool. i still own it but have recently added a superduke to the roster and holy fricking moly i love that bike. ive had it since start of september and have put 2300 miles on it. 650 mile day one day (tail of the dragon in a day trip) with the amount of tech it has (22 evo r has all the techy tech) you can literaly throw a day one rider that knows clutch control on it and let em rip. abs is phenomenal. if you downshift too hard it still regulates rear wheel slip to maintain control. the anti wheelie only lets the front wheel off the ground a 1/4 inch (only notice when you try to turn and the bars just float left and right lol) traction control does not let that wheel spin a bit. so basically rain mode and normal abs mode and if they know how to ride a bicycle with a clutch off they go and they will be back with no worries because the bike handles itself. it is so tame compared to others in its class. but dont forget turn all that off and you have the beast back and its not afraid to murder you just for breathing on the throttle . its like a very mean dog thats nice to kids only way to explain it.

I started out on a Suzuki 1000 No front brakes bald tires and watching this video made me sick to my stomach when I realized some of the crazy crap that I was doing don't ride anymore. Flying planes now it's safer.
My riding history is as follows: Aprilia RS50, Yamaha TZR80, Kawasaki ZX400R and Kymco MovieXL125 as bikes that I could borrow from time to time. My first bike purchase was a CL Suzuki Vstrom 1000, so techincally I did start in a 1000cc bike. But then I was already 25 years old, and it still was a terrible idea. I did love the bike, but it was a terrible idea. Sold it because of work moves and what-not. Bought a 2009 FZ6 S2 in 2020, and now I have a 2009 R6r that I take to the twisties and the track. Now being a much much much better rider (taking advanced courses) I see that I should've started with something much smaller =)
Monkey, MT-09, ZX-10r and now an S1000rr. The jump from Monkey to MT was kind of stupid, but the liter bikes felt really solid after to torque monster MT. I agree completely that starting smaller is much safer and you’ll enjoy the liter bike more when you are not terrified and a danger to everyone else.
Took the MSF course had a month back, and I’m about to purchase my first bike which is an SV 650, it needs a little work, but I’m aware of what it needs, and then after that I hope you get some thing like a 636, or an R6

Tested on a 50cc. Started on a 500. Went to a 600 next year, was too weak, so went to litre 2 months later. Been riding 15 years now, been fine. Its not advisable to jump to one quickly. But everything depends on the person.
i ride a mt125 and have no regrets .. sure the power is very low but i have had many encounters wheire i was happy i was riding a lightweight low cc bike . it covers up a lot of mistakes bc it stops quick and doesnt accelerate quickly . so dont sleep on low cc for the first year of road riding
I got an sv650s as a first bike, loved it and sold it for another sv650s. I have my forever bike.
It's not just sport bikes. The same advice can be given for any of the other segments. I really wanted, and still do, an Africa Twin when I decided to buy a bike, but common sense placed a gentle hand on my shoulder and said "My dude, that's 1,100 cc's and very expensive. That's not wise." and convinced me to buy the beginner version, the CB500X. I'm sure if I had bought the bigger bike first I wouldn't have enjoyed my time so far nearly as much, and my next bike may be a completely different segment based on how I actually ride. Might get CB650R, or the new Hornet.

Well, I started on a CBR600RR and I wrecked it. It was very scary to deal with being my first bike and basically my first experience with a bike outside of the MSF course. I cannot even imagine starting on a 1000cc rocket ship. Definitely smarter in my opinion to start small and work up

My first bike at 18 when I joined the navy. 06 gxsr1000 and it was awesome definitely almost killed me but it was awesome. It wasn't bad because I grow out of things quickly so this I never regretted.
cbr 1100xx first bike £1700 had it 2 years love it had 190mph out of it :) But I've rode a lot off road bikes and I'm well over 40 years old. It only goes as fast as you twist the wrist.
rode dirt for 8 years as a kid, started street on a cbr 500 for 2 years, cbr600rr for 5 years and now mt10 for one year and I love wringing it the fuck out lol
Yeah agreed, I got a Ninja 650 KRT with only ABS as the only electronic aid. Gotta say, it is a good transition from a 150cc bike. I've ridden it over a year, and still get a lot of kick and fun with the power and torque it has.
Best thing about it is I'm learning to handle situations like losing rear wheel traction, controlling the small wheelies when launching it to a sprint from a red signal, etc. And I also tour on it! 2-3 hours of continuous riding? It's plenty comfortable and it's got good power for the highway, so why not?
If you plan on hitting twistys do not start on a 1k 😂 you’ll spend more time worried about throttle than leaning

The best place to start is off road but don't think you know anything about road riding afterwards, it just helps you handle the pucker moments better.
I started on an r3 as per yammies recommendation, i then got an r7 did 4 track days and got bored of it, i then purchased a 2012 rsv4 APRC model, and it is amazing. i have never found myself unable to control it and it is fantastic on track. i am not an advanced rider by any means with only 2 years of experience on motorcycles but if you respect the bike and use the throttle sparingly i find it quite manageble. though i am thinking of getting a brand new zx6 as i feel like with the tyle of riding i do (mountain twisties almost exclusively) that it would be more suited to my riding style. I love the aprilia though there is some part of its power that almsot leaves me with a hesitence when riding it, where if i feel if i went to a 600 i would be more condident with using what it is capable of. either way i have never found myself in danger riding the aprilia as long as your sensible and when you are going to give it the beans you are on an open road with no obstacles. It is fun in the mountains i feel that however i have to be super focused on my throttle control to make sure i dont highside. (probably an indication i need to be on a lower class bike hence why i am selling it)

In 2018 my brother started on a 2001 silver,R1 with a cam, tune, and of course spiked bolts on the nose fairing. Somehow survived. Was really fun and doesn't regret it? Now he wants a Hayabusa of course. The normal progression.
I started on a Qlink AV250 a few moons ago then went to CBR 650. I just got my first Harley this summer and love your content and tips!!
I had to pick up and teach my buddy how to ride his first bike...a busa. Also did the same for my brother and his Gsxr750.
I started on a 135cc bike, now I'm on a 400cc light adv bike.

The strong will weed out the week
I watch this as I literally just bought a crossplane Yamaha r1 last night. Definitely not my first bike though.
I really want to start on one of those new Ducati supersport s bikes. They feel amazing!
Started on a 2009 CBR1000…. No traction control, wheelie control, rider modes, etc.
I had an amazing time but I wouldn’t recommend it. I always tell people to start on a 400, 650, or even a 600 if they have dirt bike experience.
A liter bike is ridiculously fast. Put it to you like this, at 7k rpm’s, your making the max horsepower of a 600 and you still have 5k more rpm’s to go (haven’t even touched the power band). On a liter bike, you don’t accelerate, you teleport….
I recently got my motorcycle license by going through the Harley Davidson Academy motorcycle training here in Las Vegas, Nv. I always liked sports bikes . I would get the Yamaha Fjr1300 ES which I can still get if decide to change my mind but I put a deposit down on a Honda Goldwing. Ride safe everyone 🏍
I just started on a 2023 Ducati Streetfighter V2. You can put it on WET though and make it safe.
OMG! Yammie finally got a 4k camera. Thank you!
Just recently got a 1980 xs1100 and just got my endorsement and I love it I have no problems so far although It is quite heavy lol
Great video as always.
Started on a 1999 Suzuki Intruder 800 about a month ago. As of now bike seems more than enough for local riding still getting used to dealing with cars on the road.
I'm starting out on a new Z650/ER650. Already made a basic mistake, damaged the front fender. Lesson learned, and will take things slower to get a feel for it as I go.
Lol. Bought a 250. Practiced for a couple of months before getting my sweet 1098R. Be responsible people!
