    3:55 I hate that within my friend circle, I know a few Silicon Valley Techbros who bought a 1299 as a starter sheerly to flex it as a luxury item then get scared of it going 15mph in a parking lot cause they can't figure out the transition between the friction zone and putting enough throttle into gear, but not too much where the bike lurches forward (Pretty easy to do when you start on a 1299...gotta learn the twist of the wrist on something slower).

    I started driving a motorcycle when I was 7. I learned from a motorcycle with sidecar just to not be worrying at my balance because I was too short during that time that I can't even touch the ground with one foot. The best thing when you start with a tricycle/(motorbike with sidecar) is you can focus on the clutch and gear operation without thinking or worrying about your balance. The first motorcycle that I used to drive when I was 7 years old was a Yamaha RX 135 4 speed(5 speeds are not available in the Philippines), that bike started my passion for 2 wheels and after a few years, my dad got a Tmx 155 /CG 155 Honda and I have also use that as a practice bike when I was able to touch the ground with both feet flat. See, i started with small bikes and it helped me to develop my balancing and basic fundamentals on riding a bike because the power of those bikes are managable and beginner friendly. In my own opinion, if you are planning to ride and buy a bike for the first time, choose a bike below 150 cc and has a friendly posture and power so that you can learn how to utilize the power of the bike properly, because if you will start with 400 cc and up, you would just give yourself a ticket going to the emergency room of the nearest hospital around.

      I've ridden my sons modified R6. You could, in theory, ride it timidly and keep the revs under 4k. It'll do 80mph in first gear and wheelie at 60 mph. Get 5000 miles before you buy the death rocket IMO. I have a cbr650r as my first real bike(after a 250 ninja). It's not fly by wire throttle. The clutch and brakes are excellent. That R6 was terrifying though IMO. It's very fast to 8k rpm after that HP doubles and it's in lose your lic territory. That fly by wire throttle has a tiny range of motion.

    I think a beginner bike should always be a 250-400 and then upwards. 1. More time to respond in situations. Forgiving throttle response. Small, light and nimble. The KTM RC390 / Duke 390 are the perfect motorcycles for beginners.

  • @evongreiff1
    @evongreiff1 Před 4 lety +26

    Came across this video and wanted to bring my two cents to the table. Having wanted a motorcycle all my life but never really got around to take the plunge, partly because of the likelihood of getting disowned by my family due to its inherent danger, I decided to finally buy one little over 10 years ago at the age of 44. The bike I decided to get my feet wet with was a new Kawasaki ninja 250. I felt it was the right choice to gain some experience and see how I’d like the feeling of being out in traffic surrounded by vehicles, and nothing around me for protection from them. My very first ride home from the dealer I was glad I was wearing a shaded face shield helmet so other motorists wouldn’t see the fear in my eyes lol. Determined to grow into the experience I pushed myself to ride it as often as I could taking longer and longer trips. I soon gained great confidence on it but at the same time I quickly realized that I couldn’t zoom by cars like I saw the other sport bikes do. I decided to purchase a performance exhaust after 6 months of owning my bike to see if I could get a few more horses out of my little engine. Excited i had the exhaust shipped to the motor sports dealer for installation. While there waiting for my exhaust installation, I was checking out the new bikes for sale and of course while at it I was approached by a salesman asking me if I was interested in a new bike. I said no, not really, I’m just getting a new exhaust for my bike because I can’t really make the performance moves I see on the bigger bikes, and quite frankly the bike experience had begun to fade. Not to mention my bike used a carburetor and had to be warmed up to avoid engine shut off, a pain in the ass. The salesman stated, “have u considered upgrading to a bigger bike instead? I thought to myself, hum, not really, but I’m certainly open to suggestions. There I was at a crossroads; wait to see the performance gained from my new exhaust, or just trade in my little bike and go bigger. Well I’m sure you all know which route I took....I went for the bigger bike!!! That day I rode out of there with a Honda CBR1000RR !!! Let me try to relate to you what the experience was like. The first thing I noticed was I had to re-learn the throttle cause the slightest motion of it was this overwhelming rush of POWER!! The whole ride home was a frightening experience, but I remembered I felt the same way when I purchased the little 250, so I figured I’d just grow into it. I really had to force myself to ride this bike and stop fearing it. The first day I took it out for a night ride after bringing it home I had my first mishap! I reached a corner and stopped at the stop sign to make a right turn, this was a taller bike so I had to stand on the tip of my toes, however, the road slanted heavily to my right so when I went to put my right foot down I kept feeling for the pavement and there was none to set my foot on! The weight of the bike overtook me and I fell over. There I was laying on the corner like a dumbass with the heavy bike on me! Fortunately the guy behind me got out of his car and came out to help me lift the bike back up. To this day I’m surprised I didn’t break my right wrist which took the full force breaking my fall with my own weight and that of the bike. That night I rode it with even more fear and seriously thought I had made the wrong choice. I wanted my little 250 back. Determined to master my fear I accepted there was no turning back and I was going to become proficient in conquering this beast. To make a long story short I did manage to grow into it and fell in love with this bike. Unfortunately I began riding doing all the stupid things I promised myself never to do, including speeds well approaching the 200 mark!!! To make matters even worse the night I rode that fast I was coming home from a friends house after a bit a liquid courage (Captain Morgan) , that’s insane!!! After owning my 250 for six months and upgrading to my 1000 , my CBR got stolen after only six months of owning it. I lived on the 3rd floor of an apt building so my bike stayed outside. I kept it with a motorcycle cover and a 110 decibel disk brake clip on alarm but someone had cut through that with a blow torch! So even if I had it chained to a pole if they’re using blow torches to cut through metal, they’ll get what they want. I knew they used a blow torch cause there was molten metal on the asphalt. I never replaced my bike cause I realized it would be a matter of time before it got stolen again, and quite frankly maybe it was for the better, as I was getting way too dangerous on that bike. I’ve put in this long post to give a little history on my brief ONE YEAR bike ownership, but the real reason I put in this post is because in the 10 years since I last owned a bike I’ve done extensive research into the motorcycle fatality rate over the years and I was shocked that on average more than 4000 lives end EVERY YEAR, in motorcycle fatalities.This got me thinking there is this DEATH QUOTA REQUIRED every year off motorcycle drivers that is somehow met WITHOUT FAIL. This strongly made me reconsider that I’m lucky that my bike was stolen, cause it seems based on those numbers that it’s really not a matter of if you will be killed on the bike, it’s of matter of what year YOUR NUMBER IS UP!!! Like I said every year there are going to be at least 4000 killed, and those numbers are only growing. Anyone considering buying a motorcycle should consider this objectively, and make an informed decision before taking the plunge. You’ll never see those numbers displayed on the wall of your local motorsports dealer!!! Food for thought.

Started with a kawasaki H2 3 cyl 2 stroke bat out of hell, moved up to a GS850E then got a Liter bike. I have owned a CBR1000RR REPSOL and loved that thing. Adrenaline Rush every time you take it out. Now I don't do nearly 200 every single time I take it out, but, I never fail to exceed the century mark, usually while shifting into 2nd gear. But I only been riding for 43 years now. Yea sold off the crotch rocket and ride a Sport Tourer now, but, still like to hit them high numbers !!

      Going by the UK stats, the majority of fatal incidents include alcohol, drugs & 125cc's
      The OP's small novel, reeks of personal rationalisation and justification.
      As for the hitting 200mph on a older honda CBR1000cc, ...the fireblade (honda CBR 1000RR) has a max claimed top speed of 178mph if a 6stone girl was ridding it.
      & that's without looking at the storyline of went to change tail pipe which would have minimal gains (not including de-cat'ing it) and instead purchased a 20k bike?

You let that salesman talk you into that bike for performance reasons when really the question is, why would you get a 1000 in an apartment complex and not park it in your living room or sleep with it ? You messed up truly when you listened to that salesman’s sweet talk, now you’re beyond scared of even getting back on your little 250. So sad to hear man

Let's not mention that it lacks any rider modes or aids. This bike is a wheelie machine. You should've done some more research before.

    The street 500 by HD is pretty light low powered and forgiving. But price is too high for a first bike unless you get a used one. In 2004 I bought a 2000 Kwai eliminator 125 and learned on. Low slid in 17Aug2005 in the rain (wasn’t my first rainy ride) because I got stupid and raced my buddy on his 125 enduro. Next bike was a YZF 750R circa 1996. These days I ride a custom 750 shadow around town and longer trips I’m on a 2013 StreetGlide. After 15 years of riding I’ll say the size of the bike doesn’t matter nor does the speed, it’s the freedom, wind in your face, and enjoying riding with the other bike that count.

      The S1000RR is very forgiving, where it can kill riders is in the turns, as no bike can ride the bike trou turns for ya.

    Started riding in 74 on a Suzuki 380GT. 30 years later bought a Honda 1,300. Ugggg! Back breaker! Last bike GoldWing! Loved it! Rides like a 600cc sport bike...but at 800 lbs, my 66 year old back doesn’t want to ever pick it up again...because...kickstand was not down!! Now looking for a 400 pound something! No sport bikes! My wrists will break off! Love our Noob reviews!

    I just bought an S1000R 20 model as my first bike, but I am 43yo this year, I race aero race cars and was raised on push bikes and dirt bikes, does it make me any better on a road bike, no and yes.
    My car racing has taught me a lot, patience, inching up the progression scale and learning that the road is not a safe place compared to the track.
    I have only just power wheelied in 3rd on the R, but nothing more than that. I am learning all about feet positions, upper body movement and trying to be smooth everywhere. One thing I do find hard that I am working on, braking early, you just can't brake late on a bike, so that is my biggest area of learning atm. The power is great, but I have had 500kw GTR's etc, so I don't get all crazy for feeling the power every 10 seconds, although it def pulls like a freight train.
    I have never been that good at wheelies, so i am quite happy just to power wheelie if it the bike needs to, but other than that, I will keep the front wheel on the road.
    Last but not least, i am over 40 now and boy it feels so good to be too, I feel more in control of my life that ever, there is so much fun to be had when you don't lose your head to the fast bug all the time, sure going fast is great and I do, but knowing when to do it makes the world of difference.
    Anyway, just thought I'd share my experience about having a 1000cc for my first road bike.

    Ive riden dirt bikes pretty much all my life. The first road bike I ever tried was my bosses BMW K1200RS. I weigh 140 pounds soaking wet that bike weighs over 600, I could make it go down the road but I wouldn't want to own it. It's sick fast certainly too much for a beginner, but my biggest issue with it by far was the weight, I could easily see myself dropping it going slow in a parking lot or something. The dirtbike experience taught me how to use the clutch and shift properly but that is where the similarities end, to all the guys who think you can handle a liter bike because you rode dirt bikes havn't a clue what you're in for. Whole different animal.

  • @rokat_titan
    @rokat_titan Před 4 lety +3

    My Harley Sportster was my first bike, that was 10 years ago, and I don't think i'd have chosen anything else. I dropped it, sure, but I could pick it up easily (And I'm not a large or strong guy) And the $20,000 price tag mention is just plain misinformation. I'm not saying they're cheap, they definitely fetch a premium because of the badge, but out of the 31 Bikes they sell, 16 are below the 20k mark, and all of those are the smaller bikes that a beginner would be looking at anyway.
    All that being said, I'm not even looking at Harley for my next bike, because I just can't justify the cost. So many other manufactures are doing much better things for the same, or less.
    I'm actually looking at a nice Triumph Thruxton or Bobber myself :P
