Come on man, this list is lacking the MV Agusta Super Veloce 1000 Serie Oro though.
The Aprilia came in at 6900 (vs your estimated 8200)
It also has slightly better power:weight than the Ninja 500 se (6400)
So you were wrong on both counts there. Is the quickshifter and suspension worth 500? It's a pretty compelling argument.
Im 51 and have been riding street since my 16th birthday and love seeing these great entry level bikes.
yeah we've come along way from the 1st gen 250 ninja and rebel 250!!
@@geraldburmeister9637 ironically, I had a white 1987 250 Ninja.
Which is your fav bike? And also what's best beginner-intermediate bike according to you?
@@hrishikeshjadhav7010 that's a tough question as there are so many variables. How tall are you? What style of bikes appeal to you? Do you have any experience riding dirt? There are so many great entry level bikes.
@@hrishikeshjadhav7010Soon, there is going to be the rapture. It's when there will be trumpet sounds, and after the trumpet sounds, God will lift his people from here. Also, God said people should be living by the Bible. Amen, and God bless you.
Got back into riding this year and bought a new Ninja 400. Truly a special bike and perfect for beginners.
I would get one as my second bike but It looks kinda childish for me.
@@KleadsySame issue I have with it despite the many recommendations.
Just bought my first bike. 2018 KTM 390 Duke with 2k miles on it. I'm 40, always wanted a bike and decided its time to ride before its too late.
How's it been? I'm looking at one for my first bike too, but I've seen some people advising against it. I would appreciate if you could share your experience with it so far
Papa Yammie please do intermediate bikes for 2024 next!!! I need my second bike. Great video as always !
Amennnnm
I think options are pretty limited. I'll only focus on super sport bikes, and that would ultimately be ZX4RR, CBR650R, RS660 and 2024 CFMoto 500SR (I reckon 675SR is going to be a competitor to R6 and ZX6R which are a step above).
*2008 YAMAHA YZF R-1 HAS ENTERED THE CHAT*
@@freefy_ It has not.
Should mention that the CFMOTO bikes can be bought online and shipped to your front door for free or 20$ shipping. No hidden fees no financing no dealer twisties. Kinda nuts but sadly the 450SR-S is not available in the US yet!
how?
What do you mean how? How do you think Amazon works?
@@BIGBigBoiNICKgot em
Really excited for those new triumphs and the 450nk. Might still go with the t100 or the Enfield interceptor though but I'm going to play with all of them
1:38 rides on 17” castlrlrlrlrnum wheels 🤣 love it !
I'm going to be getting my motorcycle license when I turn 18 in spring and I'm really excited so far.
Rode suzis n kawis for 20 yrs. Faves were kawi 650 and 1600. Never a problem.
I just recently bought the 2024 CFMOTO 450SRS (here in Australia) and I’m loving learning how to ride on this bike! So smooth, nimble and light! I’ll be keeping this for a while. Plenty of power for commuting in the Metro area and even on the FWY! I love it! 👍🏼
It IS a good bike indeed, but for a chinese not established brand, let alone with no racing triumphs history it waaaaay tpp expensive. I mean, with less you can get an r3.
I want a CFMoto 450 SS so bad! I had no idea there was an SR-S though so now I want that one. Lol or, if they ever come out with the 650SS that's rumored (currently on a Katana 600).
I just sat on an Eliminator the other day. Very tempted to get it. I just wish more people would review it so I could hear a few more opinions.
Do a test drive you'll learn more on that than 100 videos
@@lifed3ath Most places I've visited won't let you test drive.
@@Briansgate😳
Really liking that Kawasaki Eliminator myself, though in part because it seems to actually be in stock. I only see base trim Rebel 500s near me, and only sporadically at that.
I have a Ninja 400 and if I were to choose another begginer, it would be the Eliminator
Seems like a fun, relaxed ride
Why not a Vulcan S?
@@Geno20916 vulcan S is a step more powerful
Might have to keep the CFMoto in mind if I ever get the chance to start track-riding. Cheap enough to not feel bad about binning it.
But not enough parts, mods and kits available when you do really want to improve, especially considering you can get kawasakis and old super bikes for cheaper and actually work on them
I will say.. I have a 450ss and it is by far the best beginner bike on market from factory.. I daily it and have put just over 3.5k on it already. I freaking love dawging this bike to the 12,000 rpms. Handles amazing as well. I have ridden a Ninja 400 and it just felt like i was sitting on a bike and not really riding it compared to the sportier ergonomics on the 450ss.
Zontes just launched a 350cc 4 -bike range (GK350,350X, 350R and 350V) and they all look awesome.....
I want the 450nk it looks dope
Hells to the yeah for the Triumph Scrambler.
The Triumph Scrambler and Kawasaki Eliminator look really nice. I may go for one of those for my beginner bike. Plus it seems like I could resale it without much difficulty once I'm ready to upgrade.
CFMoto all the way use to have a 2009 250 Automatic from them and loved it
The Eliminator is beautiful!
Triumph and 450nk are bikes i’m waiting for 😁 glad to see them there
I'm over here with my z400 just squiding out on my way to work happy as can be.
I’ve been eyeing the Ducati Nightshift as my first!
I have a cfmoto 450ss. Didn't know it stalls in 1st gear when the kickstand is down. It comes with an app that tracks the bike and how you ride.
Yup, safety feature! It also displays it on the homepage if you look closely, I like that feature as a new rider!
And sends those informations directly to china 😂 I actually bought a Kawasaki Ninja ZX 6R as my first bike. If I would have started at a younger age than 22, I would have probably bought an ZX 4 RR. Definitely a Japanese bike.
Speed 400 is really enticing. I've sat on the speed 900 and love it. Can't decide which one to go with. I'd rather not have to upgrade a few seasons down the road, so I'm thinking of going with the 900 from the start.
i would not go for the 900, harder to learn the fundamentals and is going to take you twice as long to learn how to ride. Its better to just go for the 400 even if you'll upgrade to the 900 later
@@Mongla48agreed
People think having a 400 bike will be one you'll need to discard soon as someone who has had a few bikes having a 400 is good for 2 to 3 years of being a beginner and definitely what I would recommend especially since they are cheaper and a lot of people never buy a second motorcycle , unfortunately
Just got a KTM RC 390 GP edition. Absolutely loving it ❤
Made in China.
@@lelouchabrilvelda1794made in India actually. Still a great bike. Shit for brains
I have the 450NK and SS, been buying bikes for over 30 yrs, road raced for yrs, worked in the industry for many yrs, I'm not trying to be a cheerleader for CFMoto nor am I saying that I know more than anyone else but do know a little something, mine seem to be very solid/capable motorcycles, so far...
2023 Honda CBR500R is great as a beginner bike.handling balance weight speed zero vibration looks great and about 70mpg. Plus only $7500
Hey Yammie! New to your channel, just getting into bikes and researching what to look for my first bike. Biggest question i have tho is what bike would be best for a tall rider? I’m 6’7” and worry about fitting on a bike. I really like sport bikes but don’t know if any would fit my size. I also was liking the more sporty looking cruiser bikes. Thanks!
On European Kawasaki websites the eliminator is stated to have 45hp and 43 Nm (which translates to about 32 ft-lb)
Huh? That's a nice looking seating position on the Eliminator, not the typical feet forward Lay Z Boy cruiser ergos. Would be awesome with some locking side cases!
Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see mention of the 2024 CFMOTO 450 CL-C. I understand it will be a cruiser designed to complete with the Honda Rebel 500 and the Kawasaki Eliminator 450, although it will be somewhat lower horsepower (and likely lower price) than either.
i have recently discovered your videos and quite like them. Not crazy about your track days comparison, not because of what you do, but mostly because when you 2 have a discussion, the audio is via your helmet coms, which is no where near as nice and clear as your usual audio. but still love ALL your content.
One thing I am curious about though, I often hear you say "upside down fork" I always thought the manufacturers call it an "Inverted" fork or am I wrong?
You're correct - Inverted and upside-down forks are synonymous
😯 CFMoto 450nk! Had to take a second to pause and add this bike to my "want" list 😁.
Well I went against this video a bit, I bought my first motorcycle today, it’s a 1400 Suzuki intruder.
I’m really excited the bike runs great
The 450SR also sounds really good stock and with an Arrow slip on - it sounds amazing, almost like a baby Panigale.
Squid here doing bike research currently. Was looking at the rebel 500, guess I'll have to add the eliminator to my list. Very little actually riding experience so far though 😅
Just bought a Duke 390 last week. Only thing I wish it had was a better seat. KTM seats and 2x4s have a lot in common.
Could you aftermarket it?
No mention of the new Duke 390? The new generation looks wicked, heaps of tech, slightly bigger engine, new design, adjustable suspension…. So muchhhh
I hope they bring all those upgrades over to the 401. I still don't like the looks of the duke
Don't like the looks, will buy current one next year as my first bike or let's see if they show the new 790 and or RC 390 at EICMA. It'll most likely be one of those 3.
YES! I'm super excited to see it come to the US.
I love the rs457 design i might buy one
I’d like to see some info on the Honda CL500. That’s a new model to my area.
Started on a sportster 1200 regret it so much too expensive and no return on sale but I wish I knew about the Daytona line of bikes considering that’s the style of bike I like
My first was a Harley iron 883 and I loved it 😊
They called my Sportster a girl's bike. I called them an ambulance.
i began my journey on a tuned ZX10R with 195 hp, absolute monster, still amazed i lived through that one as a first xD
Please get the scrambler 400x it looks awesome and I wanna see your opinion on it
rs 457 seems sweet, actual racebike, probably gonna be too expensive though, I might aim for the 450 sr-s instead
It’s gunna be $6,700
Yammie. I am brazilian, can you do one with a more mainstream companies? Like Honda, Kawasaki, BMW, Yamaha, Suzuki. Those in the video haven't any facility here in my country.
Nice vid and thanks for the beginner content
Lowkey want to get that Aprillia 457 😅 I currently have a ninja 300 and I’ve been wanting to upgrade. I’ve had it since I started riding last year & I just want something different.
I wanted an eliminator as a first bike but its way too small for a 6'4 guy. Just starting off with a Vulcan
I have a 2022 Vulcan 900 Classic. Too big for a beginner. I dumped it once and destroyed my foot in the process. I still have the bike and I do ride it still but it buzzes way too much on the freeway. If it had a 6th gear it would be a lot better. I love the bike but I'll be selling this one and getting one that's a bit more nimble and a bit better on the freeway.
Which bike would I like to see? A Suzuki DRZ400 with efi, and 6 speeds. Versions: dual sport, super moto, naked street,....
I plan on getting a RE Hunter 350 only $4000 and it has great reviews
Check out QuasiMotard if you want to see good content on the HNTR 350. He's already started modding it and with around 30 years of riding experience, he's really knowledgeable and doesn't do cheapo half-arse mods or work.
the best beginner motorcycle is and has always been a 125cc 2t. Be it a street bike or an enduro.. I preferred enduro, because of the forest trails.. Yamaha 4life ofc.
Aprilia rs 125 - 250. Best two strokes racing bikes ever realized. A dream.
Speed 400 pricing has been announced, and it's even better than expected. $4995 MSRP before shipping and whatnot. So probably sub $6k OTD depending on where you live.
Yammy, it would be cool to see a "best beginner track day bike" video. I've been looking, and I can't seem to find any videos on it.
Nevermind! Just saw that you did one 3 years ago.
Good review!
Being as I’ve owned the cf moto and the ninja 400 and now the Ktm duke 390 I can happily say the duke390 is more reliable and more nimble and quiet a lot more torque when you whack the revs back.🤘🤘
And yeah I know on paper the cf moto has 50bhp and the Ktm has 44.6bhp but the ktm just feels a whole lot faster and a joy to ride.🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
No way KTM is more reliable than a Kawasaki lol
I want to learn riding motorcycles, are these suggested for that or should I get a lower cc like 200-250
Im all for the triumph scrambler 400x
I wish I had started on the 450ss or NK.
I don't know how I feel about recommending more Maintenance Heavy European and Chinese Motos for Beginners. Not all but most Beginner Riders are usually younger and usually don't really have a lot of finances set aside for Proper Maintenance with Parts and Labor and usually more times than not, these Beginner Riders aren't exactly fully mechanically inclined to properly maintain these Motos themselves and regarding the Chinese Brands, the main issue here in USA is not a lot of Dealership Network to access for Proper Maintenance and usually Chinese Bikes while affordable, they break down a lot more often compared to other brands. Assuming these are recommendations that are intended to be kept for a long time, I would recommend Beginner Riders stay away from the Chinese and the European brands due to either their high amounts of wrenching needed as seen with Chinese brands or higher costs for Parts and Labor as commonly seen with the more complex built European brands. Beginner Riders will be a lot better off with a machine that 99% of the time they can just swing their leg over and hit the starter and it ALWAYS just works and gives them very little worry of ever being stranded.
Would you recommend the Yamaha yzf r125 as a first bike for a 16 yr old? Bc i'm in Europe i'm restricted to 125's at 16.
My prebooked Scrambler 400X is getting delivered later this month.
Selling my Trident 660
i Liked the Eliminator 450 & Aprilia RS 457 & CF Moto 450SS & 2024 KTM 390 Duke & CB500X
Currently deciding between a ninja 400 and cfmoto 450sr (Australian model) both awesome to ride and its not an easy decision 😂
same or the 300 ss too it has such a enticing price lol
Handsdown cfmoto 450 sr imo, which one did you choose?
Whichever one you feel you wont regret
I am deciding whether to start on Scrambler 400x or zx4r, really love both machines. But soft spot for zx4r though. (Triumph Speed 400 prices are released here and it's $2800 here, it will definitely cost more there since it's made here in our country) However, the Zx4r costs $10200 here (The Zx4RR isn't available, only the Zx4R with black paint and no shock adjustability)
Zx4 rr. Inline 4 cylinder is the best engine
Starting on a 400 is already a bad idea, don't listen to this guy, he will get you killed, start on a 250 and go on from that. Starting on a zx4rr is mental
Depends on what you want a bike for. If u wont go for tracks and u wil use to commute, you wont like zx4r. Sportbikes are for enthusiastic bikers, the riding style aint that comfortable and take a pillion is not as good. If you want to ride solo and have ground to speed, go for it, but its better start with Ninja 400, cause it will be less money spend on it. 4pipes are juicy but they will also suck your pockets and, if you are learning, go for one you wont scratch so much 😅 peace
@@rocka07 oh yeah I am somewhat of an enthusiast, love bikes all the way. I know the production for Zx4R will also stop soon eventually. I am gonna own this and probably will keep this forever with me. It's more of a novelty product, and yeah track days are also in mind. This won't be a commuter but rather just a fun ride bike
I started on a ninja 650 and honestly its the best decision I’ve ever made
THank you for the video. can you or anyone else tell me what is the exact bike in the thumbnail?
I wish I started on the rs660 with commute/ rain mode
Yes get the triumph
now now, what is better, the rs457 or cf450ss?
Triumph for beginners papa Yam
Zx25r baby!
@yammienoob I hear Yamaha R4 might come as well
Will there be. 2024 Ninja 400. Can’t find any info at all about it. Can only find the zx- 4r
The Chinese made Harleys are being released in Japan this October. Strongly suspect that we'll see a, rest of the world release by the middle of next year.
@Yammie Noob is there a good sport touring bike for beginners?
I was about to buy a Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled or a Triumph Scrambler 1200 xe as a first street bike. But that Scrambler 400x might just be the perfect jump towards bikes like that in the future. Looking forward to getting to sit on one and test drive it.
For reference, I am 30 years old, with a ton of atv experience and moderate dirt bike experience. I'm also 6'5" with the outrageous inseam of 37", so there aren't a ton of beginner bikes out there for me unless I wanted an ugly adventure bike 🤮.
TL;DR I'm super excited for the Triumph Scrambler 400x as a good looking and fit for a taller riders beginner bike.
thanks for the fact. I did not know that
Does the "SS" in 450SS stand for "skurp skurp" cause thats the sound it makes when you corner? :P
Any opinions on the cf moto 300sr ?
Ik planning to buy my first motorbike next week . Which one should i start woth ? Triumph rocket 3 or yamaha r1 m ? Are they good beginner bikes ?
Get the Yamaha r1. Great beginner bike
I STILL DONT REGRET MY DECISION OF THE 450SS!!
As someone who just bought a CFMOTO 450SS a few months ago, I'm a little annoyed about the Aprilia 457 😂
Not that I'm upset with my 450SS, I just wanted something Italian 🤷🏻♂️
If it makes you feel any better, 450SS was designed by Italians lol. Im waiting on the 450SR-S variant, but the RS 457 is under my radar if it fits my budget.
@@hexadecimal1517450SR-S good choice
8:05 that is not Aprilia RS457, that is V3 2stroke beast (best beginner motorcycle ;D)
Where is Duke 400? Excellent first byke!
Hey @Yammienoob, what if Aprillia RS457 is way cheaper than Ninja400. Like a 1000$ cheaper (In India, it is). Would that make it a better proposition than a Ninja400.
I always wait for the outro haha
Triumph has announced the pricing for the Speed 400 and Scrambler X 400. The Speed 400 will go for $4995 USD and the Scrambler X 400 for $5595 USD.
I just wanted to make sure the Ninja 400 was gonna be the best choice for me still glad I'm right
I want a gsxr 750 so clean.
I recommend the ducati v4s superleggera😁
Very Easy to ride and not expensive at all 💀
Honda just need to bring back the vfr400 nc30, withholding no modern changes
I’m 23. I believe I’m ready to start my journey
We have an eliminator in our show room already, two wheel Motorsport Guelph ON. Come check it out
So if someone was a beginner rider and wants to do track days with their first bike would the Aprilia 457 be the best bet?
Personal opinion, if you are going to Focus and Mainly do track riding and If money and the extra cost of the Aprilia is not a problem then yes. It make a lot more torque than then the rc390, 450ss, and ninja 400, and almost as much power as the 450ss. It is built for the track, it has fully adjustable suspension, traction control, and many other things. However if you are not planning on a lot of track riding than I would say the cfmoto or ninja are the best of street and track
450srs has been leaked? There is literally a review in English on it) And it looks so good, hope it comes to the US
So I was riding a 400 and crashed at 100mph after a week cuz someone cut me off I broke my leg and arm but I think it’s time for an upgrade to a zx6r
How did the RS457 MSRP prediction of $8199 hold up? Bombshell... $6,799
