- Hello all!
Welcome to my channel and my first ever motovlog!
I'll be going by the name of EMTOH for the near future. If I feel comfortable revealing some more details, then I might. But we shall roll with that for now :)
I am a new rider that only just got his license a few weeks back out of a random desire to start riding a motorbike. I think the want came up about 4-5 weeks ago. From there it has been day and night motorcycle content injected into my veins. Probably hundreds of hours of videos watched about everything motorbikes. From Educational videos to reviews and other motovlogs. I have watched A LOT.
My favorite video style to this date has been the "Beginner rider gets their first bike" type of content. I love watching people get into the culture and enjoy seeing how they ride for the first time. I wanted to do that and give you guys my rendition of that experience. I spent a lot of time setting up my recording set up and (despite the mistake on this video) its quite solid!
I apologize for this first video being overexposed and for my breathing. I forgot to attach my GoPro's lens filter and had it set up around that filter. My breathing is also just some bad settings on my microphone which I will try and rectify in the next upload. I also have a chin-mount coming for my GoPro in a few days which will help fix camera placement. At the moment its on top of my XL helmet. The updated view should show my bike, hands and the road in one shot.
I really hope you guys enjoy the video and smile as much as I did!

Pardon the horrible filming quality, it improves after this vid 😎
I'm on Instagram by the way! instagram.com/emtohyt/
I literally did exact same thing on my first ever ride. Stalled it like 4 times trying to get it into my garage.
The slow speeds at the start 😂. It was a solid learning experience
you should just use your clutch and it should start smoothly :)
I fuckin love seeing all these new riders that CZcams is recommending me the ones that just started this summer makes my day I’m only 14 but have around 2 years of experience on clutch and 11 years of riding total I’ve been binge watching tf out of these new riders vids
@@BlehVR._. I’m glad you enjoyed brother! You’re almost there too! 4 more years. Focus on school, get a good paying job and then you can buy whatever you want 💪.
Unfortunately I’m in Australia and it’s winter hahahah. It’s cold as shit right now. You also have way more experience than me! I’ve got like 2-3 months of clutch experience and I’m way older than you hahaha
Stay safe!
Congratulations! I would be scared to death if I had to deal with roundabouts like that while getting used to a new bike for the first time. Hope you've had a chance to enjoy plenty more rides since then.
Pleeeeeenty more. I've got 2,500ks on the bike now ;)
Yeah there is 2 roundabouts in my area that got me nervous at the start. Stalled on both of them LMAO
I just added a MT07 to my collection. I started on a Sportster. I have not had a chance to take it out, got delivered today, but really looking forward to it. Also, you’re doing great for beginning! That’s a maze of streets and traffic you’re dealing with so that’s good experience-always keep your eyes open and aware! This video made me smile. Thanks for sharing your experience!
@@HandOvDoom2112 you hop on that bike right now! Hahaha no but for real, thank you! I love riding and I’m trying to learn as much as I can. I hope you enjoy yours!
congrats on your new bike had mine for 4 days now its a 2024 honda shadow phantom 750 in the metallic orange color and i love it. I've been practicing at my grandmas 5 acre farm so i can get a little expierence and feel for motorcycles so hopefully i can pass the class with a good score.
Congrats bro for your new bike, in my country I had MT25, smaller version bike of yours. Stalled just like you do on early rides 😁, enjoy the process and moment. Time for a new adventure 👏🎉
@@geffenrahardjo3886 thanks brother! ❤️ I still do every once in a while, but it’s a lot better!
Great video man, congrats on the bike! You’re literally living my dream 😂I want the MT-07 so badly but I’m too young 😔
@@2TireTaylor Thank you! You’ll be next soon! The model you get will be way better when you can get one, think of it that way!
I just brought an MT07 yesterday and I kept stalling it too. I was at the lights with a large line of cars behind me, 1st stall,2nd stall. In my head I was like don’t panic, don’t panic.
Hell yeah man! Welcome to the torque-y boi club! I love mine so much.
The stalls in traffic is scary ahahah, was the rest of the ride chill?
Great channel 👍👍
Heart was with you man - just about to take my DAS (UK) then get on my MT - felt everytthing you did fella !
@@mosschops-ok3bq it’s the best experience getting out on the road the first time. I was shitting myself but also amazed at how fun it was
got my A2 DAS next month, already bought an mt 07 lol
Lmao when I took my msf they told us the easiest way to not stall when starting in first from a stop is to let out the clutch slowly to where you begin to roll. When rolling give it some gas then let off the clutch.
Yep! That's how I was taught too, but you start to push into the realm of doing them together quickly in a lot of scenarios on busy road. So sometimes I just mess up the muscle memory 😩. Dropping clutch out too fast or not giving it enough beans. It happens like 1 in every 100 take offs I'd say hahahah
I stalled 3 times from the dealer to my house ....ess embarrassed for sure but thank God everyone behind was patient, nobody honked at me and i got home safe..Now I'm pretty good with my takeoffs ..
My experience taking my brand new MT-07 home was raining the whole way. Luckily I only live 2 miles from dealership lol
@@TheKablount06 ooooft, that would’ve been scary. I owned my bike for a total of 3 days before I took it on the freeway for an hour to work in the morning and I caught rain on the last 5 minutes. I was steering without leaning as much as I could 😂
Loose the clutch and accelerated in same time it will help from sudden jump stop
over there do you not have any training? like in UK we do CBT, then DAS, and its all on bike on the road training before our big test
@@ItsJustDrama yeah we have a LAMS process (Leaner Approved Motorcycle Scheme) to go through. 2 day course where you learn everything basic, check ride (gives tips to improve after you have been riding solo for a bit), then your test for your provisional license.
you did well starting, about 2k revs and slowly release the clutch bro, will help u alot.
what u can to is sit stationary on the bike in the driveway and put it in gear, dont give it any gas and u can slowly release the clutch to find the bite point of the clutch, that can help u aswell.
Yeah, the first 2 days was a slow one, but I spent a lot of time practicing! Now my biggest issue is 1st-2nd hahahah
I have a feeling this is how I’m gonna feel today. Im picking up my first bike in two years from the dealership today and I’m getting nervous even though I have experience lmao
@@LandoB ooooh have fun bro! Excited for you!
This is me 😂
@@dernyul1872 you get ur bike today? Congrats bro! Welcome to the crew 😎
what made you want an MT07? I have one and I'm always curious why other people get one.. I LOVE MINE so much! Its the same color but is a 2018 and when i bought it used last year it had 4400 miles on it lol
@@MacAttck714 yoooo, good choice bro 😉
Reputation is very good for it, I kept reading about it being an amazing bike to learn on.
Looks, I was a super sport fan at the start but then loved street fighter looks like the SV650 and such, but the MT-07 fit the bill better.
Usage, I’ll be using it for commutes a lot and I don’t touch freeway a whole lot.
Akrapovic exhaust, needs no further explanation hehe
Those are the main ones. I just overall really love the bike! Wouldn’t change it at all
Your breathing says it all.
SWEATING 😂
When i get another bike soon ima try to learn how to wheelie, i had an r3 for around 2 months then i got hit by a car and broke my femur, so when i get another bike ima try to practice stuns on it
@@LostNub06 Ouuuuch man, that’s a nasty one to break. Hope you recovered well brother.
Take your time recovering so you avoid any long standing issues! Stay safe when you get back out there!
@@EMTOHyt Appreciate it man, you too, im prob only gonna practice stunts and go very local so not a lot of street riding from me anymore
Hey just realised this is melbourne.
MT07 was my first road bike too.
How many fingers are you using on the clutch?
@@IN_ZANE_ yep!
I started with all 4, now I only use 2
@@EMTOHyt Nice, yeah I do 2 fingers on the clutch, 2 on the bar. Even at a stop. Clutch lever squishes bar fingers slightly and limits the total lever travel. First bit of lever travel is dead space so makes everything easier/more control because the bite point is less delayed, It helps with take off, stalling and smoother gear changes too.
@@IN_ZANE_ That's wild, you've read my mind completely. This is exactly the same for me. Bite point is right before you squish your fingers.
My only issue is that my gloves hurt my ring finger cause of the plastic pushing on it. So, it's constantly sore. Getting some new gloves that will hopefully fix it.
@@EMTOHyt Ah your gloves got those chunky plastic sliders on the fingers yeah?
You could try adjusting the lever angle not sure if that would really help. The slim rubber or superfabric style sliders don't really hurt (what my gloves have), and some gloves actually have the sliders on the pointer/middle but not on the ring/pinky which would be ideal.
@@IN_ZANE_ Yeah I technically have gauntlets and they're just too much. I can't even use my phone without taking them off. So, it's a pain when I'm stopped and need to take a glove off to use my phone. Makes getting fuel and such a bit difficult. I'm going to get some summer gloves that are more low key and are snugger with less BS going on. Basically, dirt bike gloves but with actual protection and just up to the wrist.
what gloves are those?, they look mint
@@ptescort Argon Level 1 Stealth Black gloves! They feel a bit tight on your fingers when you make a fist, but they probably just aren’t fully broken in yet. Could also just be my hand size. They feel very secure though
btw cool gloves, what are those?
@@theslowdeathoftheuniverse thanks man! They are Argon Engage Stealths!
what bike should i buy as my first
Ultimately up to you bro! Depends on what you like, what you’ll use it for and where you’ll spend most your time riding.
I liked the MT-07 because it was a good commuting bike, I love the look and sound of it, and I don’t do much freeway riding.
CB500F or X
Hayabusa
you can buy ANY bike you want....ALWAYS RESPECT THE THROTTLE!
a 300cc bike can get you in the same trouble as a 1000cc ---> IT'S ALL HOW YOU RESPECT THE THROTTLE
@@knifetoucher youre right
I started on 125cc and that bike is stall crazy because of small engine... when I got XSR700 (retro mt-07) I was shocked how easy it just goes w/o throttle just friction zone of the clutch and bike launches \(￣︶￣*\))
@@theslowdeathoftheuniverse yeeeah I thought the same thing! Funny enough, when I test rode the bike, I didn’t stall once. But when I picked it up, it was a few weeks later and I was rusty again and this is where you see me stall a bunch. Nerves and lack of practice I guess? 😅
@@EMTOHyt tbh I stall mt-07 a lot while doing learning course and worst one was when I stalled at green light being first... it's just practice thing
mt 07 as a first bike? I wouldnt recommend to anybody but stay safe.
Thanks for caring bro! I will definitely be careful
fuck yeah bro, im tossing between buying an R7 or MT07 lams. Good luck brudda
Ay bro, good luck to you as well!
I was tossing up the same thing and I went for comfort. Tho if you are thinking of doing high speed riding, R7 probably better choice. The MT-07 is WINDY
@@EMTOHyt I can’t go over 80 on the mt 07, its too windy
@@Davnyonbike YEP.
@@Davnyonbikeit’s not too bad bro, I don’t ride an mt07 but I ride a supermoto with obviously no wind protection. It’s bad at first but u definitely get used to it, it’s worse on windy days too. It’s bareable upto like 140-150kph as long as it isn’t windy, for me atleast.
How do you like the mt 07 im between that one and the mt03. Just passed my msf and excited to get riding
It’s a beautiful bike. Plenty of power, not too heavy and it looooks gooooood.
It’s bloody quick compared to the MT03. If you think you’ll get sick of the 03 quickly, maybe just get the 07 and take ur time learning. I don’t think I’ll be selling my 07 ever unless I have to because I move or something. It’s perfect imo
Definitely the mt07. The only dealbreaker I’d say is if you’re really short and you need a really light bike to start with. But even then I’d still say go mt07. Much better option. As long as you take it slow while you’re learning. (Don’t have to ride around 20 under the limit, but just don’t do silly things)
