The most important thing to consider is your wallet.
My wallet: you can't even afford a scooter and you're thinking about getting a bike? What is wrong with you?!
@@TheDennys21 real
True😂
Agree but most people will finance it anyway so… most people don’t have the money to buy a motorcycle
Stock footage of “man thinking in window” was great
Why did I open the comment section as soon as he came up 😂
I think a riding course should also be included in the safety spending budget.
Riding for over 10 years, and after owning 2 Ninjas (250 and 636) and an SV650, I found that I prefer a middleweight naked bike. My current bike is a Ducati Monster 696, and I'm perfectly content. Even tho some would consider it a "beginner bike" as a current husband and father, I'm just lucky enough to even still have a bike, lol. I just love the old-school Ducati air-cooled v-twins. Their engine sound is so unique. It touches my soul every time I ride it.
Most of the world rides a 125cc, we have a weird skewed version of what things really are in the western world
@chrispekel5709 Your right. Here in Texas it's pretty bad cus there's a severe false connotation that if your not riding a 600 or liter bike, your riding a beginner bike. It's annoying.
@@evilminion8825
Hey sir,
I've been holding the trigger for 4 months now, I'm 22, got the money, but I'm terrified of getting paralyzed..
(Between the Husqvarna Svartipilen 250cc, and the KTM Duke 250)
@jad2290 Those are both great options that you can't go wrong with either. Personally I'd go with the KTM just cus I like KTM more but the Husqvarna will be just as good. Comes down to which one do you like looking at more.
@@evilminion8825
Thank you!
But are you aware that I'm not talking about the Duke390, nor Husqvarna 401 ..
Sadly they're not available where I live..
I'm talking about the Duke250cc and the Husqvarna 250cc, which comes at 30 horse Power ..
My bike is a DL650. (Suzuki V-Strom) Same exact power plant and reliability as the SV650, but in a slightly more adventure bike configuration. Great for riders over 6ft, like me. I love it.
How do you find the V-Storm on long trips and the freeway? Keen on upgrading to the V-Storm as a second bike soon 😁
You should also do a vid on second motorcycles to buy. Dont see to many of those. Love the content ❤
He has made a few. My fave is 9 intermediate bikes you can grab used and cheap
My first was a 1982 Yamaha vision. 550 V twin. Rode the wheels off that bike and fell in love with the freedom of rushing through the wind.
My first bike was a 1991 xt 350, my second was a 1996 dr 650, same specs except the extra 300cc, both were great bikes to start on for street. I’d ridden for years on dirt, but never owned a bike until the xt.
I honestly seriously love the way you describe things short and clear.
Funny story about my first bike. I wanted something cheap to learn on but a little bit more powerfull than the usual 100-150ccs so decided on getting an old CB250. Found one and guy is down to sell it for 2000AUD. Now the funny part is that he didnt specify that its a 4cyl CB250F hornet. Thing sounds like a F1 Car even when only going 50kmh i love it!! And being a naked its quite relaxed ergo aswell. 5000km later and it still runs like a dream, looking to upgrade to a 400cc soon though and im looking to stay in theme and find a CB400 Super Four!. And in the future a CB650F. Cant get enough of the sound and smoothness of the engines.
My first bike was a 90s inline four 250 Kawasaki screamer. Never had more fun on a bike since, although the Street Triple pushed it all the way in the fun stakes.
Hey guys, huge thanks for all the beginner-related videos. Those gave a lot of perspective on idea of starting to ride.
At first, I was very impressed with svartpilen 401, then I realised that it will be quite hard to sell because of it's exotic design and smaller engine. Then I went for 500-700cc idea and remembered that I love how cross-plane engines sound - MT07. Watched a lot of videos and pretty much understood that it is not as well equipped with nice stuff as PILENS -missing nice suspension, brakes, quick shifter. Then I remembered that in high-school years there was a really badass ktm duke on the streets and it sounded god like doing wheelies and hooning. Also it looks quite nice in my eyes (blacker versions) I'm kinda in between MT07 and duke 690/790.
I'm 36 yo, 179cm, 88-90kg guy, my riding would probably be city cruising, back roads exploring, maybe just slightly maybe some gravel path to some forest rest parking. I definitely want a comfortable seating position and some safety systems as ABS, and traction control would be lovely. My wife would gladly hop on the back from time to time. Living in Lithuania, bike season is april-late September.
Any smart and experienced opinions are very welcome.
Thanks 🤙
I bought a 77 Suzuki gt185 like a week ago best thing I think I could’ve bought has some problems but hopefully not to hard to work out light easy to learn on and something I will truly love forever
Are there any recommendations on a first hoverbike? Great videos! I really appreciate you sharing so much time and knowledge (especially with a large sense of humor). You probably have save a life or two by all of these tips.
This is really really helpful , I'm gonna get one soon and i was actually watching one of ur "beginner's motorcycles" vdo from 3 mnths ago , while this came in noti

Hey yam what do you think of a ninja 650 as a beginner bike.
@@othukeudokwe893yo I just brought the cbr 650r and looked at the ninja aswell but honda was better
Hey Yammie, what do you think of Benelli 502c as a bike for beginner? Its really affordable and looks good to me. I have heard of the rust issues but not sure if thats true.
I learned on a 4 cylinder and that worked out great. The torque from a twin might make your starts easier, but the 4 will be more docile in the low revs. The power will be waiting for you in the high revs when you're ready.
I started on 2022 Triumph Trident 660, 3 cylinder 80 bhp, I love it. Still riding it.
I'm starting on this, it's calling to me
Really interesting video. I’m about to do my full licence course and test and after much deliberation had settled on a used Honda CB500X nice to see it in your round up. BTW I’m 68 years old and returning to motorbikes after 40 years. Happy days ahead.😊😊
My mom just got the Honda rebel 500 and I have a 76 iron head chopper I built and a 75 cb 750 in the build process. Love the vids
Problem with the Rebel 500 us that it's not economic..
Wish this content was out there when I started riding, this is stuff I learned the hard way starting on a 600+lb 1200cc Harley for my first bike.
Man, just by reading this numbers feel too much for a first bike... I can't imagine how it felt do ride. Was it at that time new or used?
@@igork9691 it was a used bike. 2006 Sportster 1200C and that was 2011 when I got it and started riding.
Loved the hornet you showed at the end.. my first bike cb600f - awesome looking naked very beginner friendly
I just got my R3 in early October, and I love her.
I’m deciding whether or not to buy her. Is it good? I mean apparently ninja is better but I just like the looks of R3 much much much better. Thanks for replying
I think you're close for the majority of new riders.
At 50 years old, I went with a brand spanking new GSX 8S.
Age, many years of high-speed descending on mountain bikes, driving a manual transmission even before I had a license, all seemed to play into me taking right to the bike with its power and torque.
For others, you have to know what's safe for you and make a good choice, not based on your ego.
At 50 you're fine to jump on anything. You've got enough experience to know when things aren't right and slow down. Younger guys really don't, and they'll keep pushing it until they crash. Their ability to read traffic also isn't as good as yours is, and when you get speed + that lack of ability into the mix it's never good.
At 58 purchasing my 1st bike this spring. I've narrowed it down to the GSX 8S and the Duke 790. I don't want to by a 400-500cc then sell it and by another bike. At my age probably the only chance I have at buying a long term bike.
Tons of experience mountain biking and riding bmx led me to having literally zero fear my first time going on the highway. Not trying to sound like a badass I’m just grateful that experience helped and I was grateful!
My first bike is a 2023 Suzuki GSX 8S. 800cc class, 776cc engine and a 31 inch seat height. I got it brand new and financed it. Yes I have dropped it a few times but I also hadn't watched very many videos like this one before i made my purchase so I didnt have the knowledge then that i have now. At 5 ft 6 in tall I do very well on the bike I just have to lean it over on one foot when I stop but that works just fine for me. I used to ride dirt bikes when I was younger so I've got a bit of experience with motorcycles. A piece of advice that I can give, if you're coming from a dirt bike to a street bike don't do like I did and think you know what you're doing, going from dirt to street is like going from day to night. Don't let your dirt bike experience give you overconfidence on a street bike.
Sick. Also started on this bike at age 50. ~5' 6" tall as well but have not dropped mine in my 1st 5 months of ownership.
I have been a pretty ballsy mountain biker most of my life and driven mostly manual transmission cars.
I believe those things have carried over to riding the motorcycle for me. I took right to it without any issues and no real dirt bike experience
@@PedalingDave im 37 this year. I have to correct myself I am 5 ft 7 1/2 in tall, idk why I said 5 ft 6 in tall. I took to it pretty well myself but haven't ridden a dirt bike in many years in fact when I started riding my motorcycle this is the first motorized bike I had been on since... 2007... damn had it really been that long?? Needless to say I was a bit rusty, the first time i dropped my bike was when I was putting it on the trailer so I could take it and take my motorcycle license test, I tightened one side of the ratchet straps too tight and I thought the bike was balanced but it wasn't so it fell over and hit the side of the trailer, the second time was when I was getting on it my kickstand sank into my gravel driveway after we had just had new rocks put down so I don't know if you'd really consider that my fault per say. Mishaps an accidents are going to happen but how do you get more experience you learn how to better avoid them.
10/10, this was 100% no nonsense, no bullshit beginners guide that I DESPERATELY needed!!!
I'm taking my Motorcycle Safety Course on Monday, looking to get a Yamaha MT-07! Very excited about this :))
Got my first bike (mt-07) in 2022, no regrets. Might get mt-10 eventually perhaps in 2025
Bought a '21 CB300R as my first bike. I dropped it twice at slow speeds but I don't regret buying it new. It checks a lot of boxes for me. '23 XR150L is next on the list and then either a mid weight ADV or scrambler for touring/camping.
Dude look at the 300l
Depends on the country, but sometimes used bike is so expensive, people buy a new one instead with warranty.
I just picked up a 21 cbr650r used. I really like it. Getting like 65mpg
I just got a cheap 2022 KPR 200with 100 miles on it, I figure if I drop it scratch it I didn’t spend $6,000+ on my first bike. I’m having a good time learning to ride it! I just wish I had a good parking lot close to me to practice! but no I’m on a back country road that has a bit of traffic. To all you new riders like myself out there be safe and have a blast!!!🤘
When I first started riding a motorcycle I had both a sport bike and cruiser motorcycle however I gravitated towards more the cruiser because I felt more comfortable
grabbed an mt03 for a real good price in austin just recently . great little machine
Fantastic video, exactly what I needed! Thanks!
Even though I find SOME of your advice is heavily biased, but this it the best advice I have seen.
Too motorcycle gurus neglect to include the height and weight of a motorcycle. I have seen riders with over a decade of riding experience get owned by a motorcycle that is too height or too heavy for them.
The 600cc limit is vital because too much power is worse than too little. When I bought my first motorcycle I left the dealership on 1 wheel (by accident). As I entered traffic I wanted to get up to speed and dumped the clutch. Luckily I was smart enough to grab the clutch and put it back on two wheels before I crashed. Sadly my underwear didn't make it out unscathed.
I do not agree with all your opinions in all of your videos, BUT this video is spot on. Great work.
Ride safe
I started street riding on a Fz-07 (MT-07). Very controllable power and good for doing just about anything on the street. I honestly don't plan to get a bigger bike because the fz07 has plenty of power for the street and gets good gas mileage (50ish). I wouldn't want to be slower or using more gas XD.
If you are looking into bikes for commuting, a smaller engine will be more economical yet still much faster than an economical car in practical use.
Good straight forward advice
Main thing I’d say ( from experience) is keep away from bikes with Clip-ons, you’ll learn a lot more about handling with higher bars
Got a z400 in October and so far I love it. I just need this snow to go away.
I'd never get another bike with a 'split' type seat, I'm always uncomfortable when I want to move my ass around on a long ride. Was looking at the Z400 but then realised I need a bench seat for touring
I think dual sports are great even if you know you'll never go off road. They're light, easy to work on, fun on potholes and pretty forgiving of being dropped off the kick stand.
They're great but most of them are terrible for a long trip stock. That's their only downside (excluding the KLR650 and a DR650 with a screen, then you're ok)
Thanks man! Always wanted the ninja and I’m hopeful to get the 400
Can't go wrong but if you're really big and / or tall I'd get a 650
This is the video most people need 🥳
I've had many motorcycles over many years. To me, a beginner bike is a Ruckus or Honda Super Cub. A Yamaha R3, Ninja 400, Husqvarna 401, and so on are excellent motorcycles, and bigger bikes are for long distances.
My first bike I still have is a 2021 Honda CB300R. Got it new a few years ago.
Just bought my first bike 🎉, got a 2nd hand BMW R1150R as a commuter and allround bike
Started on a 2021 CB650R, then went to a 2016 Tiger Sport 1050 after 6 months, has that for 18 months and just bought a 2016 ZX10R
Itll only go as fast as you twist that handle
Goated with the swaws
I'm curious about that husky 401, but you did mention not to make some esoteric euro bike my first. BUT ITS SO COOL DUDE
I'm taking my beginner riding class next month, still don't know if I want a street bike or a cruiser. winning a bike would be insane!
A yamaha fz6 s2 is surprisingly beginner friendly. Its 4 cylinder, 98 bhp but forgiving.
Its light, comfy and I've seen them with over 70k miles and still going strong. Ticks a lot of boxes a new rider might need
This was my first bike, lots of room to grow into and put 35,000mi on it before selling with 78,000mi. Great first bike for more mature first riders because no traction control can be problematic though given the horsepower.
Mt-09 is also a good option
Given the mt09s short wheelbase and low end torque not a great bike for beginners given it is very wheelie happy and accelerates far harder than a fz6.
@@matthewchinn179 it’s got tcs and abs and ride modes and the throttle is controlled using the rider’s right wrist, which is common amongst most conventional motorcycles.
@@SludgedB Mate, an Mt09 is NOT a good beginner bike. What are you smoking?
Imo starting on an i4 can be quite a good thing, as long as it doesnt make too much power, something like a bandit 600 for examble, because the throttle isnt as lurchy on i4s as it is on singles+twins.
Great video! Exactly what I was looking for!
Can I ask about which one would you recommend between liquid and air cooled?
My first bike was a 98 cbr 1000 hurricane. My permanent bike now is a 03 Valkyrie. I gotta get me a rune though.
First bike was a CBR650R. no Regrets handles highway speeds great.
Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 for my first bike. Spent about 5k on it, paid the note off in 3 months, and spent about 1k on gear, classes, and of course ... taxes.
Ready to move on - the GT is smooth and easy to learn how to ride on, but it is way too compact for longer rides, which I want to do.
I seem to have cooperated with all this advice, except for engine size. I have an 1100cc V-Twin that is around the mid 500 range for weight.
100% important video. i bought a honda rebel 500 for my first bike and while i think its an amazing bike to learn on i realize now i shouldve bought a sportbike. I always knewi wanted a sportbike/naked/advnentue but i thought screw it honda rebel is a good starter and ill learn a lot which is true but now im facing the problem of learning how to ride a sportbike cooming off a cruiser. Not a big deal though
The new Triumph Speed 400 looks sick 👌
my first bike will be a 80's v4.. super magna. i don't want to keep it for 1-2 years and sell it for a bigger one. buy one and keep it for as long as i can. one other bike i tried after getting my licence is a shadow 1100, kinda heavy coming from a hornet 600 but it's so damn comfortable even at low speeds.. that's also on my shortlist
My first bike was a 2023 CF Moto 450SS.....perfect bike.
I'll be curious to see if the used market for these is strong like it is for the Ninja
Great advice!
I'm 34 and thinking of getting my first bike this year but i am torn on what to get. It would just be a weekend toy and maybe some couple hour road trips. I was always set on a sport bike but lately been looking at the nakeds aswell. Kawasaki or Yamaha would be the preferred brands. The ZX-4RR would be completely suitable, but a bit expensive.
Don't do yourself a disservice and right off Suzuki or Honda. Any of the "big four" will serve you well.
I wholeheartedly believe that if you’ve never ridden a bike before, your first one should be a 4-stroke 125cc road bike. it’s extremely forgiving, light, nimble, a breeze to learn to ride on, and the aftermath of your newb mistakes you’ll inevitably make before operating a bike becomes automatic will be “whoops that was close” instead of “shit I totaled my bike and almost killed myself.”
yes you’ll grow it out in a matter of months, but learning the muscle memory of riding while sitting on a twitchy-ass crotch rocket vs on some lazy ass baby bike is night and day. it’s enough having to learn a whole new form of traffic awareness and machine operation, if you throw “actively trying not to die due to a fat twist” in there as well, learning becomes a lot more difficult and dangerous.
learn on a 125cc, then go and upgrade in a couple of months. I did it like this, and it was the best decision ever.
Depends where you live. I'm in Australia and a 250cc is required at minimum unless you live in the inner city. You do make an excellent point but for someone living in the USA who needs to get on the motorway a beginner bike needs more power than that - unless it's training on back streets or an inner urban area. In a lot of Europe and asia 125cc is fine
4bangers is the high light but i wish manufactures figureout street tractable 4 bangers insted of twins and triples, if so its a win win. Nobody never miss leader bikes
YaaY, Himalayan. I am from India by the way. LOVE that you guys appreciate them.
love the m240 he showed on tripods as he said rapid fire list hehe
I’m going to buy an XSR900. Why? 1- it looks awesome 2- it has rain mode for beginner learning 3- it look sick af 4 - it has traction control and cruise 5- great looks again 6- it’s not built for off-roading but I saw a dude take an r6 into the desert so I’m sure it’ll be fine and 7- 🥵?! I’ll also look into engine cages. I’ll drop it. I don’t care. The only thing that might change my mind is if bmw gs has a retro headlight kit.
Great video.
A lot has been said about beginer bikes.
But what if youv'e just been out of the game for a few years?
Do I need to get a beginer bike? One that I know I'll be bored with soon?
Can I go straight to the 'Busa?
Or is there a prefered middle road option?
Can you please do a video on this subject for us.
As always, thank you for the great content.
I got a 2023 cbr650r. I know 4 cylinders as a begginer is scary but as long as you dont go close to red line, you won t have all the power.
Yes and with a 4 cylinder 650 If you stay low in the revs its very easy to control and you can ease into the higher revs 😄. Maybe for a slightly older beginner who won't pin it out the gate.
That's why i got CBR150R for daily uses,after this year i'll get CBR650F for weekend toys and a Hayabusa just for fun lol
Do you offer new rider training or work on bikes? I’m in the Texas Hill Country and wanting to dip my toe into the street scene. 53 and coming from dirtbikes, I’m interested in just chill scenic rides. Really digging the scramblers. Looking at a 2018 Ducati cafe racer and
desert sled. Easy to go down a rabbit hole of what to buy and this video was very useful.
I bought an 05 gsxr600…. I dropped it in the first week but didn’t even feel bad cause it was already beat 😂😂😂
I got an r7 😃👍 I love it
Honda CBR 650R or CBR 600RR 2024 or Aprilia RS 660, maybe? Aprilia factory is only 2000 km from my home and first dealer is on less than 200 km
KLR 650 S, my first bike.
i jump in on a cb600cc in line 4 and never looked back lol
Honda shadow 500 was my first
01 or 02 yzf 600 is the plan for my 1st bike.
My first bike was a 2004 Honda shadow sabre at 17 years old 5'9 140 lbs , so far I've put 9k miles on it (21 now) not the easiest starting off but I never dropped it on pavement only recently dropped it doing donuts in the dirt . I have no idea what I want but it isn't what I got . Maybe looking to get a klr or a naked bike
Honestly? I'm just looking for a commuter I can take to work, but also have fun with on my days off, for the occasional highway jaunt. I don't really go out of town much (maybe half hour to an hour at most). My truck is great, but I'd love a summer toy to save some gas money.
New rider here! I love the neo-retro vibe and have it narrowed down between 2 bikes for my first bike, the Royal Enfield INT650 and the Honda SCL-500. I was curious if anyone had some wisdom for me. BTW i'm 6'3 200lbs... idk if that changes anything
What's your take on a CFmoto 650 Adventure for a first bike after having a Z125 ?
I got the Honda transalp as my first 😬
Before I bought my first bike I thought I'd ride cruisers. Hopped on one and it was so strange with my legs out infront compared to the Honda CB125 I learnt on that I decided it was a no go.
Ninja 300 was the bike everyone said to get. To me, the tank felt too bulky and I didst feel comfortable.
Hoped in a Suzuki TU250X and everything just felt right. Bought it new and will never part. I have just bought a new XSR 700 and am so glad I bought a smaller bike to begin with. If I had started in my yamaha, I would of quit riding.
I respect my 700cc and ride accordingly and hoon on my 250cc 😂
The thing about doing the maintenance myself is that in my country we lose the bikes warranty if the changes are not stamped by the brand mechanics, so it makes me sad that I cant do most of the maintenance myself
I bought an RE classic chrome 500 😁
I think I broke all your rules, as my first bike was a Yamaha FJ1200, except for it was in full working condition.
Oh and I still have it 20ish years later.
I think those sort of bikes are fine if you're in suburban or a country area with wide roads and plenty of room to move. I learnt on a heavy bike in the city and it was a real pain in the arse. Hard to park, hard to lane split, more expensive on fuel with stop start traffic, more heat, less maneuverable around city obstacles like potholes and pedestrians. If I was in the countryside it would have great though, and good on the faster roads
I love super bike and cruiser bike,I want to have them both
Thinking about getting an monster 796 for my first , found some for sale for a good price and low mileage.
The bmw nineT scrambler, a bike with a real soul.
Probably getting a Honda Cb650r in the spring
Bro what do you think of the CBR 650r (35kw)?In my opinion it is excellent and complies with all the recommendations except for the cylinders and the cost. I love 4 cylinders and the CBR 650r 35kw seemed like the best combination
bought a brand new gsxr 600 dropped it twice and rode it straight out the msf. Rode 4000 miles in 2 months. Its worth it but be prepared to drop it.
I'm not used to yammie not talking non sense. 😂
I would like a Cafe Racer thats my dream bike. I also really really like the Scrambler type bikes too. Either way my wife needs to be able to ride with me once in a while.
Get a scrambler. Most cafe racers hunch you forward and suck after an hour or so of riding. The scrambler is way way more practical unless you just want a bike for sporty short jaunts
So is the KTM 390 duke and RC not on this due to the reliability concerns?
Also, why no r3 or mt03? Is it just cause the ninja 400 and z400 make it obsolete?
Those are all good bikes but I think the Ninja 400 is just the best 'all rounder' of the lot. It wouldn't matter which one you got so long as you ride it and enjoy it
Do you sleep? It's like new content all the time. Be sure to get some mental relaxation time in there too. Peaceful be.
@1:27 Is that from Road Rash?! HOLY CRAP!
I felt JEALOUSY to see foreigners riding and owning litres Superbikes..R1 , M1000RR, ZX10R, GXS-1000R, FIREBLADE RR-R, F4RC And middle weight too eg. SV650, ZX6R, F3RC, CB500 and etc etc.
And when i see them crashing i felt very PAIN ...😢
I really want a Ducati Streetfighter V2 but think it might be to fast 😭
Maybe settling for the Aprilia RS660 for the Quick shifter, blipper and tech
Thoughts?
