DO A 125CC VIDEO PLESSE DADDY YAMMIE
Is the ktm rc390 the Daytona of 300cc.
Yammie do a movie review on the movie torque that's on Netflix right now it's like bikerboyz but worse please do a vid on it man
Also at the beginning the main character pulls in the right hand lever and the rear wheel brakes😂😂 I died when I saw how stupid movies were back in 2004
Papa Yam could you do a tier list of the best bikes to level up? Best second bike to own? Love you
I was surprised to see that the Honda Shadow 750 didn't find a place on this list. It's a great bike, extremely reliable, affordable, easy to work on, the shaft drive variants make for the least amount of maintenance, and 750cc is certainly something with enough power to keep even a full grown man happy on long distance highway road trips. Not to mention, if you pull the baffles, even the stock exhaust sounds great! Just my two cents.
Amen! It's what I learned on
Jon Paul I’m on a 600 but same
@@loganrose4316 I'm on a 1999 vlx 600
I love riding them, but honda cruisers sound like ass.
Glad to hear good things about the shadow 750, that’s the bike I’m planning on getting as my first to ride to work with a 2 hour commute.
If anyone else is looking for a beginner Cruiser, the Honda Shadow Phantom 750 is a great start
What about any Shadow VT750... Aero is my first bike, and I'm keeping that one until it is ready for a pension...
The Ace is a great choice... Literally 17 years. From 02 and still counting
@@seanohutton3185 it's my first bike too. It just feels great to run this bike
I love my Shadow 750.
Yo! I was looking for someone to say something about the Honda Shadow 750!!. Its an amazing bike!!! Reliable and quality and classy. 😍 I can't believe he didn't mention it.
Turbobusa is the best beginner cruiser tho
xD
@@Texas240 what's the optimal length for busas stretched rear tire? 3 meters? 6 meters?
It's not a cruiser dork .... it's a "sport touring" bike >.>
@@bimbim18ok r/woooosh
@@bimbim18ok you don't saaaaaaay
Crammy Pube finally mentions the Rebel 500. Good stuff!
My perception of reality has been flipped on it's head by this oddity
Edit: If they fixed the nightmarishly short and close gearing (it has torque to spare), pushed the peg positioning forward, and ditched that excremental turn signal switch, I would totally have one in my garage for goofing off around town. I mean, FFS, it's $6k off the lot. That's Food Stamps level cheap, and would be right at home next to anyone's single wide at the trailer park.
Finally a cruiser video.
Variation is life yamster
Started on a bolt r spec, about 3 months ago and I’m in love. Don’t see myself getting bored of it anytime soon highly recommend it for anyone looking to start riding
This could easily have been a podcast, since you barely showed the bikes you were talking about.
Agreed
And the weird obsession to add an extremely unfunny meme or joke every 3 seconds, its so annoying
I am SO glad to hear about Yammie's appreciation for the Bolt: I own a Bolt R Spec, and it really is a nice, beautiful bike. It's just got that all-around, everything to it (and I prefer it stock to boot).
I have a 2015 bolt with several mods, and I'm in love with it. I've wanted a Harley for years, but every time I take my bolt out, I get a little more cured of that particular affliction.
My first bike was the Vulcan s just bought it last month and took my test on it at the dmv. Love it passed no problem and the bike rides like a dream.
Welcome to the club. Glad you are enjoying it.
WAR SKUNK : By Run : Vulcan S is the latest of my 4 bikes (100cc, 223cc, 350cc and 650cc) !
I'm preparing, I'm gonna be a motorcyclist.
The Japanese are pretty reliable.
WAR SKUNK Idk what I'm going to get I've been looking at CBR500Rs or R3s
Absolutely love my 2014 bolt r-spec. Amazing value for the money. Tons of fun! Happy to see it made the list.
Thank you for your unbiased opinion and review. I agree. HD does have inflated price. I'm leaning toward the Vulcan for my 1st bike.
I actually started with a Sportster due to me finding a great deal on one with low mileage. Loving it, but I left my house looking for a bolt and just ended up with the Sportster.
Exact same thing I did almost. Went out looking for a vstar 250 and wound up with a sportster
Well, on the day I bought my Bolt, I test rode a Harley 1200. To be honest, I really would like the Harley because I grew up around them, but hey, the Bolt just rocks. But....!)
I've been waiting for this all my yam life! Thank you!!
I just bought my first bike last week. Honda Shadow Spirit 1100. And I have found many of your videos to be very informative. Your videos have blessed me with plenty of knowledge that I know Ill be thinking about in the years to come.
So glad you mentioned the yamaha bolt! I'm picky and I wanna get the bolt and you just enforced me to get it more in the future! Thanks
Thank you! I’ve been waiting for this video :)
How people are different. Love it.
I saw that suzuki boulevard s40 and I AM IN LOVE. I absolutly love that look. Im gonna buy it!
You never seize to make me laugh as I talk of you as a motorcycle legend ...I'm riding confidently 5 years now on some of the Info's you dash out ...good stuff
Yay Yamaha Vstar. I started with the Vstar 650cc. It's awesome.
Got one too! It's pretty fun and you get a ton of power from cleaning the carbs and doing a sync (all which you can diy)
Thanks for the perspective! Excellent taste in music, too.
Thank u this helps alot I'm looking at getting into getting a cruiser and i like all these
Thank you this video helped out a lot! I have too many Harley fan boys in my circle of friends that don’t understand why I’m not just jumping to buy a Harley.
I was hoping to get a Rebel 500 last month when I bought my first bike but my financing options wouldn't allow it so I had to settle for the Rebel 300. I took it for a spin around the block a few times and it's incredibly easy to handle. This is coming from someone whose only experience on a bike is riding a 90cc dirt bike over a decade ago. Haven't managed to get out of first yet since the main road leading out of my little community has 23 speed bumps to cross before I make it to an actual road but I figured I'd wait to really put it through it's paces once I complete the safety courses I have scheduled throughout the summer anyway. Still, it's comfortable and feels good sitting on it. Just have to get the basic mechanics drilled back into memory and get over my fear of riding, which the safety courses should be able to do well enough. :D
My first bike was a Virago 250 (V-Star 250 before the rename), very happy to see it on here.
Excellent professional presentation, very clear and no waste educational words.!
Best of pretty well so far compare to other speakers! Good work.
I got the s40 recently and I love it it rides good but is also easy to learn on and it can still go fast
Thanks ,the video i never knew i was waiting for
I started on a Yamaha bolt and I love it!
I just took my MSF course on a Boulevard S40 and it made for a seamless transition onto my first bike, a HD 883 custom!
Most people won't appreciate the Kawasaki Vulcan S. It is the best beginner cruiser it has power, good handling, good mileage, fun to ride, and more importantly the Ergo Fit system
Just got my Vulcan S 3 weeks ago. My first bike and I love it. Decently light, and easier to handle.
I’m 6,000 miles onto my Vulcan S and I think it’s an awesome bike!
I love mine. No way I'm getting tired of it any time soon
Brand new rider, bought my 2018 Iron 883 last year, and I gotta say, absolutely in love with it. Haven't had any issues yet (admittedly only a couple thousand miles in since I live overseas), but the main thing is the feel. It feels so good to be on it, like a true spirited V-Twin, that I wouldn't completely discount it as a beginner bike. I probably won't follow the Harley fan club and start getting CVO's and the like for my next bike, but damn if it isn't an amazing bike to start my motorcycle life on.
The real fun of a Sportster is customizing it
I love my 99 sportster she's a beast and hasn't ever failed me
@@deathbat61591 That Revo engine just doesn't give up!
Did you really not have any problems??, because I want a bike but I'm from another country and buying parts for it will become expensive so I need a beginner bike but also one that goes need to be repaired often
@@joebakboord6861 I would recommend something else, then. Consumer reports have statistically proven that other brands are more reliable, so while I've loved mine, it's still more likely to break than other brands.
Riding my stock Vulcan S next to my dads V star is a night and day difference in terms of sound. I love the sound of his bike but I couldn’t deal with it every single time lol.
Will you do a best for beginners category like this for dualsport and supermoto?
Spoiler no 1 is turbobusa
The generic 250 dual sports. Hard to go wrong. Just don’t risk it and get a 1000 crate bike from China
I built a doodlebug motorcycle with a Honda GC160 and it had 5 hp and 30 mph. Loved it.
Yay another upload this is like the highlight of my day sometimes
Thanks for the likes, pathetically this is the most liked comment I’ve had.
Vulcan S. I put about 6k miles on one while waiting for parts after I low - sided my shadow. SUPER fun cruiser!
"#1 the Yamaha vstar 250" yep, thats what I learned on. Pretty bike too. Wouldnt mind keeping one
Def considering the vulcan s or the rebel 500 for my first bike in the future. 🤞🏾
Vulcan s 100% especially with aftermarket exhaust
S M thanks for the tip! 👍🏽👍🏽
By Run : Vulcan S is the latest of my 4 bikes (100cc, 223cc, 350cc and 650cc) !
By Run Yamaha Bolt is fantastic....I rode both the Bolt and Vulcan and Bolt is better overall, especially with a new slip on exhaust
The Vulcan was my first bike. Such a great bike! Feels sporty but also great for cruising. It is pretty light too which is great for your first bike
I have a Bolt R Spec and it was my first bike. $8,000 out the door, super easy to maintain, and tons of fun. It’s been great for commuting and it’s been great on trips. Gotta recommend it.
My beginner bike was a 15 sportster 1200c and it was a very good bike to learn on. Got bored in a year and got a 16 road glide special
Ty definitely goona get the yamma 250 for my first mother cycle!
Completely agree with the vstar 250 as it was my first bike although I moved up in license class and now own an 1199 panigale S and ninja 650
Yamaha Bolt for the win baby. I love my Bolt. Especially after upgrading intake, exhaust, reflash, she screams and is fast! 1st bike was a Honda 05 cbr600rr till it got stolen, and I’m very impressed with the Bolt, handles like a boss too.
I just started riding two weeks ago. My husband got me a rebel 250. I’m already feeling like I need more power. It’s like I have to try to get in 3rd gear ASAP just to get going fast enough from a stop to not get rear ended. Lots of hills where I live. It’s so much fun, though.
I started on a Virago 250 (V Star) and after 4 months I was bored with it. I moved up to a 650 V Star and I'm very happy with it. The extra power is great, the comfort is amazing in comparison, I'm not pushed by the wind as much, it's effortless in comparison and the 650 is still LAMS (learner approved motorcycle scheme, thanks Australia).
I always liked the Vulcan and I wanted one for years leading up to getting my licence but it just didn't have the sound.
Another benefit to the 650 V Star is it's air cooled a downside though is that it's running carburetors in an age where they should be fuel injected.
Yamaha make great bikes but they are behind the game with a few of their bikes.
Why do you think being air cooled is a benefit? Just curious.
Learned to ride on the streets of Garland Tx, on a Honda VTX1300C. Never looked back, After I learned countersteering!
Just started riding and managed to pick up a Boulevard C50 for less than 3k! Was cool to see it in this list! :)
The Honda Shadow 750 my dude the looks and feel of a beast but actually it’s a gentle giant
Bet. I have one. Very relaxed.
I have had a Vulcan S for 3 years now as my first bike. I love it! It is easy to ride and I have done some long rides at high speeds without any trouble.
love the intro man!
The Indian is still my favorite. Especially with the freedom 2-1 combat exhaust
I got an s40 a month ago as my first bike and I love it, great bike
Way to represent Frisco, I appreciate your videos as much as your FlyBys Yammie Noob. 👍
My first bike was one of the old school 80's 450 rebel and I thought I was soooooo cool....
I swear Papa you surprise us sometimes with these cruiser videos
Hey Yammie. I got my Kawasaki Vulcan S just over a month ago. It's agile for something that's long and weighs 235kgs. It gives pretty good mileage 20-25kmpl. And it's quick, quite quick.
I went with a cruiser feel without the cruiser look, Honda CTX700N.
Great choice! It's on my short list for Mrs. Gamer.
Beautiful bike. How do like it? Tell us more!
I like your video and I was expecting you had the Harley 883. I never rode a motorcycle and learned on a Sportster 883 2 months ago, I can really recommend it as a beginner motorcycle 100%.
Thanks for the vid, bro.
Started out on a Harley 2000 Buell Blast and it was great for learning on. Even better cause I got it for 1800 and if I happened to drop it I wouldn't cry about scuffing it up. I now have a Vulcan Drifter and I love him
Going to go buy my first bike tomorrow so hyped. Getting a Ducati Monster
My first, only and current bike is the Rebel 250. Had it for years and love it, even if its drastically too small for me being 6'2
I'm a new rider and on a Honda rebel 500. Had it for 3 days, had insurance for 2 days and I've put 100 miles on it since the moment I got insurance
574 in three weeks and never left the city
@@reggienash7836 I bought it new and the guy said to bring it back in at 500 miles. I jokingly said I'll be back in a week or two, but it looks like I seriously might
Just sitting on a cruiser makes you feel totally different, relaxed and in charge. Getting a vitpilen 401 for when I feel like hipster street Rossi then ride the shadow to wind down after.
Bought a 1998 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 with 16k miles. Loving it! Plan on keeping it for about a year then giving it to my dad since I know he’s been wanting to ride a bike!
I've been riding since February and I started out on a Suzuki VS 800 and I can not stress how much fun it is!! I am so glad I started on a cruiser! The low seat and centre of gravity is a perfect recipe for getting your bearings, a definite Yes from me to start on a cruiser!
P.S Pappa yam... an idea for future reference... how's about a video on how to convert your bike to a track bike for those that want to go through it for the knowledge? Love the vids and love ya Pappa Yam!
2007 dyna lowrider, only had it a month but I love my bike. The feel of roaring down the road is too damn good
@@thomaswilson2006 Not to mention that Dyna Lowrider is a real eye catching bike!!😎😎
I'm a new rider that's been rocking a Yamaha V-Star 650 Custom for 3 months now. Best life decision ever!
I started riding 5 months ago and I went with a V-Star 650 Classic and I agree 100%. I stare at it when I leave it in the car park, when I walk up to it and anytime I can see it from where ever I may be. It's such perfection for my soul.
I'm in the exact situation! Love my xvs650 custom
Have to give the nod to the Scout. Just an awesome all around bike in the cruiser class. Thanks for the video.
My starter/current bike is a Honda Shadow 750. It's nice because it fits most of what you already mentioned but can also get zippy if you know what you're doing. It's a step up from the Rebel 500 and it's still forgiving. I love it and think I'm gonna keep it even if I get a new bike.
Started on a Honda shadow750 and I am very happy with my new 500 rebel which I've chopped up to look like a scrambler, the price point and weight alone make the rebel a fun reliable and customizable choice
Thank you Yammi finally
You forgot the Honda Magna. Yeah it’s a v4 but with an exhaust it sounds great and get get you into so trouble
I opted for a Honda Shadow. The older models (mine is an 87 vt700) are bullet proof and have lots of power, but are really comfortable for the shorter rider. I'm 5'6 with and can flat foot mine with room to spare. I bought mine for $200, and with about $600 in repair its almost brand new. Though I've seen them in running condition for as low as $1400.
I know less than I knew before 🙏🏽 thank you 🙏🏽
I ended up getting a scout bobber as my first bike and damn I love that thing
Thinking of the same thing man, how do you think it is compared to the full scout of the sixty?
I don’t watch your vids for a while then i just start watching non stop 😆
As a vulcan s owner.. trust me this bike got a lot to offer
Finally the rebel gets love, I was waiting.
Picked up a no run honda sabre 1100 for $250. Pulled/cleaned carbs, changed fluids and rebuilt calipers. Bike runs like a champ, not bad for a first cruiser.
Nice. Shadows are reliable as hell and great bikes all together
Sat down on a cruiser for the first time a few days ago. Boy they are comfortable
Highly recommend Vulcan s it's an amazing bike.
Papa Yam finally mentioned my Vulcan S!
I actually like the way the Boulevard s40 looks so I think that it might be a strong contender for a potential first for me lmao
I love the look of it too... I guess I'm basic 💁♂️?
One of the best learner bikes for shorter legs.
A list within a list, Yammception!
The street rod isn't a cruiser, but a good starter bike .
great video!
I have a Vulcan S 650. Slapped a two brother exhaust system on it. Sound DOES NOT disappoint.
Got my Vulcan S for under 4g brand new 😁. Great bike!
2015
My first bike and current bike is a 2015 Kawasaki Vulcan 650 S. Its got a Delkevic exhaust and actually sounds good. The Vulcan is great. Super light, quick, and more nimble than most cruisers. Not surprised to see it on this list.
I just bought a 1985 Honda nighthawk 450 as my first bike. It was a thousand dollars and trust me, 15 minutes in the parking lot and it is easy to learn.
Got my first bike last summer - 2000 Yamaha Roadstar. Heavy ass bike with a good amount of power. It’s super smooth, though. Couldn’t ask for a better bike
I have a 03 Honda rebel 250 as my starter bike. Been riding for a month, I’m ready to upgrade.
Man S40 sounds and looks so AWESOME. It's so clean and simple it kinda looks like pre-vtwin cruiser. And the sound is also kind of awesome, actually better than the tiny 125 and 250cc V-twins with their high pitch while s40 goes deep thump-thump-thump. But most importantly they are so much fun to ride because nothing beats torque and engine breaking of single cylinder. When you are learning its really easy to handle but when you get into it instead of getting bored you can pull lots of fun out of it. If you want to see what you can do with S40 just search youtube for helen cruiser video. Just... they are tiny so if you're taller than 5'7" / 175cm you'll need either to get forward controls kit or turn it into single seat with long seat so you can sit further back which is what I did and it's super comfy then.
vstar 650, shaft drive low maintenance
You should include the Honda CTX700. The automatic transmission makes it really easy to learn on.
Yo yammie 2018 triumph Bonneville speedmaster 1200 cc loving it everyday
Was hoping the average prices would be listed
Same
Hello papa yam, what do you think of the triumph bobber? Love your vids.

I just started last month with a big fat dirt bike :P. I started with dirt a little late (I'm 13) but it's fun!
I just got a Honda VTX 1300 as my first bike. I'm 6'4" with a bad back from the Marines and had only been riding for two weeks by the time of writing this comment. It's super comfortable and easy to ride. I would highly recommend it if someone out there is looking for something a little beefier but is still a noob.
