    i've got my first two years riding under my belt. on my RE Himalayan, excellent city bike. thing is a mule, it's not fast, never will be. but it's a capable bike. relatively cheap... and has ABS. dirt easy to work on/perform maint or mod. to me, looks cool. I get asked about it fairly often, and the small community of RE himi riders is extremely helpful and enthusiastic. I'll prob put another year or two on it... upgrade to a Ten700 but can't recommend it enough as a beginner bike

    • @Kingofthepnwdorks
      @Kingofthepnwdorks Před 2 lety +2

      I own three bikes, my Himalayan was the second I bought most recently (I’ve owned probably 9-10) I keep it because I don’t need my off-road bike to be fast. It gets 65-70mpg and is great for off-road or short grocery runs. I use it as a commuter mostly and it’s awesome for it. Plus as you probably know, parts are so cheap and easy to fix. My sportster and softtail are way more expensive to maintain and while much higher quality built wise, are an entirely different experience.

    I have a Versys X 300 as my first bike. I love it. Pros: great mpg, nimble, but feels planted while you are riding. Cons: it's light enough and has a large enough profile, any sort of crosswind will definitely send you into a different lane. I also weigh 250lbs so it'll do highway speeds but I have to drag it kicking and screaming the entire way.

    • @victoriazero8869

    Well, I have the benelli302s in which I have already racked like 7000kms. It has great power for a 300 bike but, most notably, it is very very comfortable (the seat).
    If you are planning to get it, I would recommend buying some type of wind-shield because cruising at more than 60mph might not be the greatest experience for some new riders.

    I mean depends on where you live, I always said best beginner is a 250 dual sport. And then you move on up to a 450. In the northeast and living in the Appalachian mountains, having something to ride backroads and still go where dirt bikes will go is a plus. My XT250 does need to be almost wide open to run the 70mph speed limits, but my dr650 does it just fine. Only thing is the dr is a little heavy when you drop it down a hill side or into a deep mud hole. But I think something like a wr450 would be perfect to do both

Not knowing any of the other bikes, I can't comment other than to say you've the Interceptor fairly rated as one of the top bikes. For me, the riding position was a deciding factor when looking at quality motorcycles in the same class. That it is a constant head-turner and compliment eliciting machine has been a surprising bonus. Know the RE Continental GT 650 is much the same bike but in a cafe racer style.
    Embrace the pain, Yammie. You added credibility when you and your sidekick admitted you were wrong about the Royal Enfields. Many compliments to both of you.

    Started on a Royal Enfield - nice bike. Gearbox is great, smooth shifting no matter how hard you beat on it (Fortnine did a nice piece on the whole segment on how they have "stupidly over engineered the thing," makes sense.) Major complaints: 1. seat is uncomfortable for long rides (it's angle slides you forward, crotch first into the tank, HARD) 2. Electrical is a known issue. My speedometer just up and died randomly. on the way to the shop for a fix, it came back to life. New Enfields come with Brembos and they had a recall on all break systems, so that was reworked (mine had a swap after I bought it) - they tended to stick when cold, apparently.

I owned a 2019 302s here in China it was pretty good and I was pretty happy with it but wished for a bit more power and a bit lighter weight. In the begging of 2022 I test rode the SRK 350 and found out it’s lighter and has more power - a much better, more complete bike. But I am not sure you can get QJMOTOR models in US.

Low grip on pavement and no grip on off road. If you do get this bike I highly recommend getting good rubber.

    I think the Ducati scrambler is also a pretty good but odd beginner bike. The price is not quite beginner friendly but if the budget is right then i think it's not too bad. I had my first tank slapper, lowside, drops, and other "oh crap" moments on it and I feel like it was a pretty easy bike to ride considering the sitting position is pretty comfy and it's not a tall ride. The only downside I had with mine was that sometimes the throttle was not responsive when I was blipping the throttle but other than that it was a great bike to learn imo.

      I have a Ninja 125 and Ninja 400. Been tightening the belt and saving as much as I can to buy me a used H2 for my next bike hopefully by the end of the next year. I've been really using my current bikes to really learn how to ride around as many different traffic and road conditions as I can. The only thing I haven't done is any sort of off road.
      Honestly the best anyone can do is enjoy the most out of any bike you own. I've had tremendous experiences just practicing and being a little squid with my 125 and 400.
      I know nothing can prepare me for the jump to a H2 but bikes in my country ain't cheap and I can't afford to go through 600s or litre bikes before my dream H2.
