Yammie Noob I started on a CBR900RR and I’m still alive. Guess who inspired me? ;)
Started on a Honda cbr1000rr...practiced first 300 miles in a school parking lot - now at 2700miles.
I am thinking about getting a Turbo Bussssssa. 190hp isint enough.
My first motorcycle was a 2016 zx6r, at age 19, insurance was quoted at 350$ a month
My dad is riding for 1.5 years and is looking to buy a s1000 rr (BMW)
Should he do it?
hello, I would like to "challenge" you to try a Honda Nc750x or Nc750s WITH DCT, would be a somewhat but weird video for you
Instructions not clear, bought a turbo busa
made me laugh hard! ride safe dude
😂
🤣👌
Lol, if you survived, maybe it wasnt a bad choise after all, right?
ghost500e ja det kan ju hjälpa.. Men att första gången man någonsin kör mc köra en hayabusa är ju kanske en mindre bra idé
I just bought a bicycle as my first bike. God damn fast like hell going down the hill!
OH BETTER NOT BUY A MOTORCYCLE THEN !!!!!
Think your about ready for a busa
Ride bicycle live longer, ride motorcycle die faster
@@Johncena-od8gu yep
nothing more satisfying then passing a bicyclist up a hill on a motorcycle
I'm glad ktm superduke 1290r isn't on the list. I feel safe now
The real first _ lol same but I’m still gonna play it safe with a Duke 390 😂
ME TOOO HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
Im thinking about it. Well, i love it. And i also thought ,like would that be a good choice, for a first bike. But i love it maaan.
Same here with the fz09
You’re gonna send that through a fence if ur not experienced and on the back wheel not knowing wtf to do ahahahaha
" A regular busa is not a beginner bike, you got to turbo it, so it can be a good beginner bike " 😂😂
Yeahs for more easy power
If you drive within the boost lag you good
well to be honest gen 2 busa is a beginner bike i have it , it has 3 modes ABC,A is 1200 cc , B is 1000 , C is 600 so when i started on it i built up my confidence in mode C then i slowly advanced so i guess busa really is coz lets face it busa is the most reliable bike ever built 🥹
I actually started on a Ninja 650 last month, and the scariest thing is that I picked that bike 150miles away (craiglist), and rode it back (as my first ride) through freeways, but man, that was AWESOME.

@@HuffleMusket that was an H2 not an H2R
I know you're joking but still H2R is track only bike. Also it's limited edition from 2015 they don't sell them right now. Even if you get one you can't ride it on the street so it's a useless bike unless you're going to the track. Also he shown h2 and h2r photo as well.
This guy is funnier than most youtubers and he's talking about bikes. take my money dude.
As someone who at 35 just started to learn how to ride, I can say that not only would I dropped a bigger bike, but I'd probably have snapped my ankles doing so. Learning on a light, 125cc machine meant not only were my mistakes easier to control but, I could actually hold the bike from dropping.
I don’t think anyone has ever used or even considered an Mv Augusta f3 as a starter bike cause they don’t even know what it is or where to find one
What's My gusta?
Lol so true thank god
I literally know someone who did it and crashed into a guard rail. No ABS. No TC.
True lol 😂😂 😂
i dont think anyone knows what an mv augusta is
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).
Like this should only be a one time occurrence, but I know 3 people who did this. The fact that it's in this video means Yams has also seen people do this.
The things people do for Status Symbols man...
Would have saved a lot of time and money to just pass around the same one for them to embarrass themselves on in a parking lot for half an hour 😂
Who's watching this video but don't even own a motorcycle 😂😂.....anyone guess it's just me.
listening carefully don't even have a license.
I don’t either. I am learning on a dirt bike but looking to get one eventually.
We are squids in training
I'm not even old enough to get one
I got a moped😂
zx6 was my very first bike, 3 months in I bought a zx14. I can ride just fine. it doesn't matter what bike you buy, its all about your mentality and respect towards it, if u don't respect it than you will fall or die. my 2 cents.
I agree, my first bike is a KTM 1290 R. Drives just fine and controls like a dream :)
Nice man! My first was 2000 R6 it had a charging issue lol I got bored at work the other day and put it up for sale and got a lot of hits for it. Sold it then bought a ZX10R cause the deal was nice for it from this guy. Now my ZX10R will be my true bike I learn on since I didn’t really get to experience the R6
I just got a zx9r and i agree with you its all about respecting it
I agree, I used to ride trials bikes when I was younger. My firstbroadbike was a hornet 600 had that for 6 months and bought a zx9r. Point being, the person thats riding the bike is in control not the other way round. Literally the only thing is weight difference when it comes to beginners.
Same here bro my very first was a zx6 too
Hey Yammie. Been watching your videos for a year or two now. Just got my Class M! Thanks for teaching about motorcycles in an entertaining fashion, and growing the interest to ride on two wheels in me and many others!

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.
Tricycles are useless garbage
The one good thing about goldwings is that their center of gravity is so low. I rode an older one (early 90s) and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be
The GL1500 is an awesome bike. Though I disagree with Papa Yam, they are easy to pick up if you know the technique
Aahh i feel satisfied, I used to watch papa yamm videos wishing i had a bike, Now i have a CBR 600 rr

The thing I really appreciate about my Ktm 390 duke is how forgiving it is. Ive been riding in the january cold with cheap bulky gloves and mishandled the clutch/throttle a few times in low gear... if i was on the mt07 or cb650r i was eyeing i might have yeeted myself into pain.
Love the humor, bro. Great info for the noobs!
Oops yam. I broke the rules. Started on an old harley sportster chopper off craigslist that needed work. Stretched, harley, c-list special. Oh well.
Sportster is a great starter though. Enough power and nice and light. Cheap af parts too.
Love your content!!! I just subbed and am now a Tier 1 member of your beginner bike giveaway series!!
At 59, I just got my first bike, a beautiful Honda Rebel 300, matte black with a candy apple red gas tank. And it's been pouring rain all day ever since I got it!! Hubby is an experienced rider, and its getting a bigger bike, probably a Harley. I think the Rebel is the perfect starter bike for me. I can't wait to take my safety class and be able to hit the back roads and big parking lots and learn to ride.
Thanks for putting up so much material for baby bikers like myself; it is very much appreciated!!

keep waiting for those revs to build up...... thats all its got

@@dannya.2296 Hey, all bikes are different. I loved vee twin 1000's - mine could pull up the front wheel at 2700RPM easily. I swapped with some 600 guys (ZX6 and CBR600) and after getting over bottom end power deficiency, rang their necks out on the RPM and was surprised how fast they really were? I get pissed off at the track when little 600's nip inside me on tight turns and I cannot out turn them!!!!!!! But give me a thumping vee twin or V four anyday...... try one?
I started on a CBR919RR a year and a half ago, and I’m still here.
Anon Amouse i started on a 50cc and still alive 😎
3:14, shout out for that shot of a garage with an Aprilia RSV Mille R fornt and center!
You can start on any motorcycle, given that you have the correct attitude and time to learn.
in theory yes i’d agree with before i bought my first bike but after riding my ninja 300 the power is tame-able* it’s fun and not too scary at all
however
can i jump on my grandpas z1000?
fuck no
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.
Joseph DAgostino that’s awesome man i’m glad you got a sick bike and your sons sounds slick too!
but man just reading that is scary as hell to me haha
i’m sure there are people out there who do it but i can say for sure i genuinely love being able to bang through gears and just have fun without wanting to piss myself
Riding a 18 year old Harley Sportster 1200 as my first bike with no problems so far, loving it, enjoying it and having a blast. Been on it every single day for months now.
HighTensionWire understandably so nice comfortable bike that can haul if you kick into high gear
unlike a R1 with face melting speeds for a beginner again some people do it i know i couldn’t

Dude the only people that like Harleys are people that own them 🤣
Bud, if you’re gonna mention the beginner cruisers, can you do a video on them? The Vulcan S, Rebel 300/500, maybe some of the other smaller displacement cruisers?
Been hoping Yam would make a video like that for a while now.
Tbh Suzuki bandit is one of the best choices for begginers.
I just got my first bike early last summer. My starter is an 83 kz550 LTD with the shaft drive. She's been pretty solid and has some power that I can tell is there, but I'm 41 now and not looking to play around much. I think I've put about 5000 miles on her over this past year.
Good list and great video.
I started on a 600cc Honda cruiser many moons ago. Moved up to a 750cc Kawasaki cruiser years later. Was doing good.
Next was the Yamaha R6. Great bike and in the wilds of Utah, it was a blast.
Now I was ready for a liter bike. Bought a Z1000 and that's the first bike I did track days on near Tooele. Great experience.
Since have settled down because I was going WAY to fast on that bike.
Now it's a Harley Low Rider. 😁
Keep the rubber side down.
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.

I started on a 600rr & got used to it pretty quickly. Last summer was my first year riding, i’m so tempted to get a 1000rr since the 600 just seemed too easy, but everyone tells me i’m crazy. But they also said i was crazy for starting on a 600
Ooooo I'm sorry
The one thing I'd say I underestimated was how much more difficult it is to drive a bike than a car safely. Too much throttle, dead, grab too much brake, dead, signal error, maintenance error, and most dangerous, the environment your in that you have 0 control over.
My first bike was a 2000 Kawasaki ZX-12R with the 220 mph speedometer! I had it up to about 170mph within my first week of ever riding a motorcycle! Lucky to be alive!✌
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.
You pussy. I been riding since the day after I turned 18. Yea my pa wouldn't let me have a motorcycle when I was growing up so soon as I could I BOUGHT one and mastered the ever lovin shit outta it. 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 !!
I didn't even read it
I feel safer and more comfortable on my vtx1800c then I do my Fordf150, go figure. Different strokes for different folks.
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?
Damn here’s some food for though for you… you should of just kept the 250. You wouldn’t be so scared and your bike would still be in your parking space. 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

U can start on any bike but like yamm said try to keep it on the lighter side me personally anything under 500 pounds and u should be good as long as u feel comfortable. Respect the bike be mature and treat the throttle like a newborn baby. Don’t be mr show off or you’ll get thrown off. Safe riding peeps!
Z900 is one of the worst bikes to start on. It's very torquey down low(Very hard to control for inexperienced rider) with a lot of top end power and it's heavy for mid naked category. 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.
Cody Grant Just be careful, man. It ain’t a joke. Like you said, the throttle needs to be treated carefully.
Yeah I kno a bit crazy but I don’t have extra money to waste on anything. Always wanted one since they came out in 2017. Slow n steady short shifts. Riding on roads with not much traffic for awhile to start. And it’s weight is not bad I sat on Z650 I felt 10x bigger than the bike and cramped. Not to mention I hate twin engines always wanted a inline 4. And I don’t like being leaned over like a supersport.
I just bought a 2017 monster 821 as my first bike and i enjoy it a lot! Always respecting the machine
I started on a cbr 600 f4i 3 years later a cbr600rr. But then again I learn better than most people.
*Bought an XSR900 as first bike
*watches Yammie's new video
Phew I'm gonna live
You still alive?
@@azra7874 uh oh
@@tyson6762 i think hes dead
@@azra7874 I suppose all we can do is hope for the best
@@azra7874 Americans see XSR 700 as a beginner bike, Europeans say start with a 250 cc. I'm confused.
I love being a 17 year old who wants a motorcycle so bad but can’t buy one because he gets paid minimum wage
You can pick up good bikes for under 1000$
Peperonsski such as? How about supermotos?
I love being a 17 yr old making minimal money and can’t own a bike anyways until I’m completely financially independent Bc my parents won’t support me even tho they both rode
@@tyler5739 it depends, where you live and what engine size you prefer
Peperonsski I live in northeast US and want something that can go like 90 mph at least but is under 400 pounds
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. Love the videos Yam always interesting and your delivery it what makes them the most watchable informative videos! Keep up bud
Hilarious video 😂 Great inFo for those in the beginners..
In foreign countries people buy 300 to 600cc bikes as their first bike.
But in India 100 to 150 cc bikes are called beginner bikes..
Eg:
Yamaha fzs( 150cc)
Honda CB unicorn(150cc)
same as in singapore...150cc to 200cc for beginners.
250cc to 400cc for intermediates.
600 and above is for experienced riders.
Here in italy it's 50cc for beginners, 125cc for intermediate and all the rest is for advanced
@@Amircapturedmemories ✌✌
@@Amircapturedmemories but in india 200 cc is not for beginners.. in 2012 KTM introduced the Duke 200 to the market. Many beginners bought it and most of them died in accidents.. afterthat onwards KTM is known as devil's bike in india.. But accidents in KTM's are lower than before now.
@@basil3913 ahh I see..it depends on the rider too. doesnt matter the power of the bike,as a rider we have to respect the bike.that way we will ride it safe.
Great video (again😃)
So, I made 2 mistakes;
1. I bought a S1000RR to start on
2. It’s a factory original HP4 Competition, so limited edition
Wouldn’t want to miss it for a second👌🏻.
You can let me have that when you grow tired of it lol
You’re kidding? Wow nice machine..may the force keep you safe
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.
Love how the goldwing is #2.. definitely wouldn't get one as a beginner but in a few years I definitely wanna own a sofa of a motorbike
My first bike was an Iron 883. It was the perfect first bike for me. It looked good and felt good to ride, which made me want to ride more, which made me get better at riding faster.
I ended up getting a Harley Davidson Sporster as my first bike. Needless to say, I don't need a gym membership anymore
I bought a ducati multistrada after watching this video, thanks yam.
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!
Awesome content, V4 Panigale is a beginner bike just have to take like 3 classes before you ride it 😜
Dude at my msf course was buying a hyabusa as his first bike. Sick
Legend
Yammie, there's no such thing like there's too much power in this bike. There's no such thing like that yammie
Omg so true the panigale 1299 was my first bike and I love it, the entire time I was learning to tame this beast.
Me: just wants a dirt bike to ride outside .
Also me: watching every yammie noob’s videos just because 😂
Damn I missed this channel after a year+ of viewing I haven’t been here for 3 months
I just bought a grom probably the most fun I’ve ever had riding it
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.
Yams gonna hit 1M subs soon baby!!!
Didnt find my h2r in the list, I feel better about it fiuf. Motorcycle lifeish, here we go!
Ugh. I was hoping to party with Jammie J, but then dad came home.
Uncle Jam is coming back next week don’t worry
@@yammienoob Still love ya, Papa, but there is something hypnotic about J's dulcet voice.
Great advice. Therefore I went & placed an order for a sensible, light and humble CBR1000RR-R.
I just bought a Yamaha XVS Dragstar 650 (Classic) 2006 and I never rode a bike before, about to start a new journey!
Everybody's homework: Approach any person you see on a Ducati Paniagale and tell him he's the worst type of Ducatista. Come back here write about their reaction.
I told myself I am the worst type of ducatista and hurt my own feelings
I got slapped :(
My friend slapped me 😕
My ears are still ringing from the burn out he did in my face😕
Didn't have the guts!
I was actually talking to a guy yesterday and he told me he has a stretched turbo busa and all I could think is damn
When Yammie said "maybe you live in Dubai" I looked around to make sure I wasn't being watched
My first bike was a CR 500 it taught me to respect what bike's can do.. pretty fast..
At 3.14 - Aprilia RSV Mille 😍. My first bike, 7 years ago and still have her although I got a Hayabusa. Love'em both. ❤💪
It's weird b/c I usually watch videos dreaming of these bikes and here I am watching yam do the opposite. What is my life even
I do like that he basically puts all of Kawasaki on the naughty list. VALIDATION
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.
Excellent advice.
I picked up a 2012 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 off CL for 3500 bucks with only 1500 miles. I was afraid it would be too heavy for a beginner but so far it is fun to ride.
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
I started on a kymco agility 50 it’s a 50cc Chinese scooter 😂😂
Taiwanese!
I am gonna start on a 50cc too, because I am 14 and live in Italy
Had a Kymco People S 50 for a while. Very economic and quite comfortable as well.
@@ajkooper yes, scooters are hated by motorcyclists, but they are comfortable, practical and kinda agile
They have a really awesome looking EV supersports that I am interested in.
Since I already had experience riding dirt bikes, I chose a KLR 650 as my first street bike. It’s seemed like the thing to do because it was a familiar feel in the seat.
Wow thanks yammie. I'm so a newbie.
