      Just chimming into what yammie said... you probably will say... I'll never drop my bike! trust me bro.... you will. you will forget about that corner on the dirt or have a oh shit moment. we have all been there, pick your baby up, appologise to what you have done to her and how you have ashamed her and her beautiful looks, grab all the peices you can and ride on home. learn to plastic weld, get her to looking frankinstien and questionable to cops while you wait for thoose sweet funds to come back into your wallet to renew and restore your baby girl.
      not a case of if, it's a when. just gunna happen.
      also if anyone sells you a beginner bike from 2015+ and states it's never been dropped... they are most likely bullshitting you.

    A 30 year old colleague, wearing street clothes and only boots and a helmet tried to do a wheelie at 160 kph yesterday, and he fell. He broke his collar bone, pelvis, 4 ribs, scraped the skin from his back, and is currently in intensive care. I watched how he rode and warned him that at some point he was going to come off hard if he continued to ride his bike like he stole it. He was an accident looking for a place to happen. I'm just happy that he is still alive to hopefully be able to learn from his mistake.

    That "you will drop your bike" is definitely true. I low sided my first bike (R3) just under a year after I bought it, it was at like 28mph riding super early in the season. I picked up an Indian Challenger last year, and wouldn't you know it three days after that, I stopped on an odd hill, and it decided it wanted to lay down and take a nap until I was able to muscle it upright.

    I am 17 and I work 70 hours a week making 15.50 an hour and I decided I wanted a small bike, nothing crazy. When I talked to my parents about it they kinda went ballistic! When I was a kid my father had a friend that was around me for most of my life and was kinda grandfathered in. He was very outgoing and funny, good guy. About a year ago someone ran a red light and hit him on his ninja 400. After months of not talking or moving in the hospital he “recovered”. He now has the mentality of a child and can’t comprehend simple situations. He doesn’t remember me or a lot of other people. It’s quite sad

Don't stick near them because the speed limit.. If they are doing the speed limit when u have a safe situation change lanes and pass. Everytime they are like semi's if ur on a bike literally avoid being in sketchy situations dont ride at night unless u have LED headlights & some glow lights around the frame helps u stand out and get peoples attention. Its what i do and i ride in ohio on the highway everyday.

    Idk about number 4, two years ago (roughly) some guys bike got stolen and he posted on the biker pages on Facebook from my town and I swear I’ve never seen a community or together so fast, people were sending photos from everywhere, eventually found the guy riding to another city on the bike, then the police got him in that city. I was super impressed, maybe nobody cares what make and model you have but if someone steels your bike I feel like you can rely on most other biker to genuinely keep on eye out and maybe even go out of their way to help look.

      NO Honda did not make the "worst bike ever"... Anyone who thinks so should get stuck on one. It's an unreliable, badly aged little thing out of Russia from back in the day. Other than it's 200cc's I couldn't read a damn thing about it, including that name... AND it was never really "right"... even though I'm not bad at improvising and I have a few machinists as friends, so parts can be manufactured to spec' on the spot... for a price.
      After a year, at a loss I'm not proud of, I finally gave up on it ever being "in tune" more than "to the greater degree" and sold it to the first person who squealed delightedly and offered me money for the 'curio'...
      The brakes were drums, front and rear, and from Russia, they had all the stopping power of a soft cheese... The carburetor was over-complicated, and even with THE BEST filters on the planet, found new and mind-boggling ways to jam or clog. In spite of a new dynamo install by a certified electronics engineer, the spark was dull orange at best, and it took three of us tinkering for two days to even get it in time enough to start and run reliably... AND to top it all, the god damn kick-start could ONLY fit on the shaft one way and was about 10 degrees WRONG for actually being able to kick the son of a bitch... When you suffer about a 40% misfire (no start, but backfires) rate, do you have ANY idea how rough it gets trying to start a 200 cc motorcycle with your HAND in the 90 degree summers in Virginia Beach (so about 110% humidity)??? Hmmm???
      THAT was THE worst motorcycle ever built... unless the Russians found a new genius method to make something even worse... I have a thing for "curiosities", even today... BUT I will never own another one of THOSE... AND I still kinda feel bad about selling it instead of just crushing or grinding it into little bitty pieces...
      Honda's RELIABLE... AND frankly, other than that detail, as long as you're on two wheels, I think you'e got a cool bike. The 84 or 85 Rebel 250 was MY first bike, so I admit a soft spot for them... haha... I even talked my brother into one as HIS first bike, though a different year and NOT carried home in buckets, the way mine was... AND he loves her, too. ;o)

    I've been riding on and off for 8 years now, got around 6000 miles on the saddle (which is child's play, I know - I do that in two weeks in my semi tanker) - but I have genuinely never dropped or came off my bikes yet. I've had a few close calls from locking the rear brake up in traffic, but I've somehow kept it upright.
    This fact is not something I'm proud of so much as terrified about. I know it's eventually going to happen and that scares the hell out of me.

    Everything you listed was accurate for me except for number 1 about mods/gear. In fact the opposite was true as I was a broke ass college kid at the time. The bike was a thrashed 80's Honda that I just put new oil in, duct taped the turn signals back on and ran it. For gear I bought the cheapest Full-face helmet the local Canadian Tire had, Used leather jacket, gardener gloves and steel-toe work boots from my dad. Not saying this is at all how you should start riding but that is how I started.

    bought my G310R in August and just started riding again last month. About 5000 miles in and some of these I've experienced. I've met a lot of people and have had a lot of great conversations. Haven't dropped it and I've been getting it back to stock because the original owner wanted it to be a dirt bike ikd. BTW, you can get a lightly used stock exhaust at the dealer for cheap. Best decision I've ever made.

    I rode a bunch as a kid on dirt bikes, though stopped for almost 20-25 years. Just picked up riding again 2 years ago and sofa king happy I did! Not too embarrassed to say but for the first couple weeks I found speeds over 55mph a bit jarring at first and Im on a CB250. Super glad I went with such a slow bike at first. I didnt outgrow it right away either, I accept the bike for what it is and what it isnt and intend to keep it forever despite planning to get a bigger bike soon.

    I bought a beautiful new 2022 Ninja 400 as a first bike the other week. Passed the MSF that day, and rode the bike 20 miles home on a freeway.
    It felt great. Then later that day I biffed it when I hit some gravel in the road during a left turn from a stop and scratched the hell out of the right fairing when I dropped it into the curb.
    I was heartbroken, but realized I was entirely unharmed and the bike still runs. Those little mistakes when you first ride hurt your soul but you feel so much better when you don't let it stop you and keep going.
    I look forward to the rest of my first year riding, thanks Yammie and other biketubers for helping me get into and finally pull the trigger on a bike, and realize that mistakes happen and they're no big deal.
    Ride safe, fellas.

    1 month into riding, I was learning on my dad's big harley, I had dirtbiked since I was young and after some good parking lot practice on my dad's bike, I decided to hit the road. First sharp corner, I lowsided at 80 mph with a helmet being my only gear. I broke two ribs and dislocated my shoulder. The helmet was cracked in half. Two months of recovery, I bought my own Indian Scout. It's an experience I learned from and haven't dropped a bike since. ATGAT and two wheels down my friends.

      @@maxd8487 I mean if you ride safe enough. You can almost guarantee safety. There is always gonna be that one idiot who doesn't check their mirror or that one gravel patch etc. You can further protect yourself by wearing proper gear. As for the bikes displacement however. You could be completely safe with a literbike as a beginner given you have enough maturity and patience to ride it correctly. Or you could be completely wreckless and die on a 300. It all depends on you and how much you trust yourself to handle. I personally recommend taking a hard look at yourself and asking yourself if you're ready for a 600. If you think thats the case, get a helmet, take a couple msf courses and start looking for bikes. I always like to say its alot more fun to go fast on a slow bike, than go slow on a fast bike. My new R1 is great on the track and highway, but it is a terrible commuter, it gets to about 230⁰ at stoplight and here I am just trying not to melt. Get whatever your comfortable with and don't let your ego convince you to get a bigger bike for reasons other than your own enjoyment. Whatever the case, stay safe out there and use ur noggin.✌️

Didn't know how to ride so I took that msf course and now I'm doing my thing. So glad I did!!
