Only thing I don't agree with is saying that all beginners will fall. Saying that alone will turn off so many people because they think it is something inevitable. While it is more likely you will drop the bike or fall as a beginner, it's not guaranteed. Other than that, good video.
I started on a zx6r and fell 2 times my first month after that i haven't dropped it, my friend started on a cbr1000 and his bike is flawless we both ride around the same, i just happened to run into situations that were hard to avoid as long as you treat the bike with respect and don't full throttle it all the time you'll be good
Dude thanks soo much. I feel really confident in riding a motorcycle now. I have a yamaha r6 and it was scary at first but now its soo easy. Thanks lots man!!!
The first thing I would recommend is taking the MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) course. They provide the easy to learn on motorcycles an they are really good. Plus, you figure out if motorcycle riding is for you before you invest in a motorcycle.
+1satinwarrior I think, I can help u. When I am stopping at red light, I prefer to downshift the gear to 2nd or 1st gear(usually 1st gear, in case the light turn green before I fully stop). But u can also stop at any gear(1~6). Because when u are stall, u still can downshift the gear. quickly. Just step on the paddle until 1st gear or neutral.
Ahh bro you finally got around to doing this haha I remember we were talking about it loooooong ago!!! Nicely done man this is definitely a bit more than your first one, perfect remake/ updated video! Miss riding with you dude it's been toooooooooo long, next season man we didn't get out enough this year haha, next year for-sure!! We should ride to Van city on a roadtrip !
Stealing a bike "Not that I know anything about it..." Haha, I love your spirit and the way you express/illustrate things even though you may appear a bit anxious and quite nervous actually. I can tell since I'm that guy in my entire life.
400 is an excellent range to start off with. In Japan new riders train at the rider schools on Honda CB 400s. Of course, these schools last a couple weeks long if you take 2 classes a day. They teach you a LOT more than the rider schools in the States.
@TheVJProduction try explaining someone new to motorcycles how to ride under 5 minutes then, you life is on the risk here people need as much information as possible on how to ride, that's why there's riding courses that take hours to complete
The best thing to teach someone is explain to them in details and hands on experience riding the motorcycle; i believe that hands on driving is the crucial part of knowing how to drive a motorbike! Btw im 5’2 ; short and petite; do u recommend kawasaki 650 as a starter motorbike?!
honestly i want something that is on the cheaper end that is still has a good amount of power and something i could have fun with. Do you have any recommendations? and i would like it to be kinda fast.
I'm surprised you never mentioned counter steering to steer a moving bike. That should at least been demonstrated. Maybe next time mention you can be hurt or killed on any size bike, no matter it's engine size, and caution should always be used.
Well then obviously you're not looking to know how to ride a bike. People who *do* want to learn how to ride a motorbike would prefer to know how, and why everything works.
Gaming Central send me a link to your tutorial my guy.. I'd like to see your better one.. Oh wait you didn't make one oh... I see You're just talking shit.. like come on I know he did like ramble a little bit but I thought video was well done.. criticism is good don't get me wrong, but the video wasn't bad
did you realise that as you were in that parking lot all that other people would see is a motorcycle dude using hand gestures and acting like he was talking to an imaginary group of people
I have 15 years and 2 months and in about 6-7 months ill get my A1 licence. Do you think Aprilia Rs 125 is good for a beginner, because I love that bike.Thanks a lot, Max from Romania
I think Aprilia makes beautiful bikes :) I've never rode any Aprilias before but I've heard good things about it. 125cc would be good depending on how you will be using the bike for :) If you plan on doing lots of highway traveling, I highly recommend something bigger like 250 or 300 but if you are just riding to work or just around town, then 125 will be a fun bike and good beginner bike :)
What if i don't know if i want to ride a bike? I know i'll love the feeling, but i'm not sure if i want to ride a dangerous vehicle. Also, I don't have any friends with a bike (not even a scooter) so there is no way for me to try it. Any suggestions? PS. i really like riding a bicycle and actually everything with wheels. I just like to be on the road.
theodoro89 that's definitely a predicament. I recommend taking a motorcycle safety course. That way you'll get to ride it for a few days in a safe environment and learn about it. Lots of people take it to see if it's for them :)
Here's some great starter bikes. Once you buy it try to get it at least 15-20psi of boost from a high quality turbo and 5-7psi of NOS on top of that, try for a minimum of 300-500hp @5500+rpm to peak. Trailer the bike to Santiago Canyon Road in California line up the bike then just turn it on yank the throttle and bomb the fuck out of it. Ducati 1098 Series BMW K1200 S Aprilia RSV 1000R Mille MV Agusta F4 Kawasaki H2 Yamaha YZF R1 Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird MTT Turbine Superbike Y2K Suzuki Hayabusa
K1200? why not the bmw S1000RR? most bikes you cant even really harness the full power of the bike over 205 HP. the K1200 actually isn't that bad of a bike to start on though. It has a lot of power, but its definitely a smooth ride on the highway. my dad has a K1200RS
Shut the fuck up you donkey are you trying to get people killed, not sensible at all. 600 is the highest anyone should go for their first bike. Most suitable options are Yamaha R3, Ninja 300, CBR300. R6 is okay for confident riders.
Im 13 turning 14 i want a bike and just asking is it just like riding a bike a little ? Another question is there such thing. As a. Atomatic motorcycle not manual with 6 gears or 5
Mike Spano If you know how to ride a bicycle, riding a motorcycle should feel very familiar. It's not the same but balancing is the same :) Also there are automatic motorcycles but it's very expensive and hard to find. Almost every bike right now is made manual.
Mike Spano all 50cc scooters and bikes are automatic as they only have the one gear and no clutch, it sounds shit but its a good place to start, there's a honda 50cc dirtbike with three gears which is semi-automatic (has gears and neutral but no clutch) if you want something bigger you may as well learn to ride a geared bike
+AriV Zz I'm sharing my experience in crashes and learned a lot from them. I'm considered by many in my city as a safe rider and is referred to for new riders. Take what you want from the video. There's lots of other instructional videos out there.
+MyLifeOnEarth 365 wow that's a fast response dude! but it was more like the resivour itself at not the cover. sorry if I did not put it clear enough. But anyways great vid dude.
This video was so well done!!! I’m a complete beginner!! Saying that all beginners will fall to putting that out there will knock the nerves off ahead of time and I liked that. Think of it like a bicycle you fall you get back up. If you don’t accept that you MIGHT fall don’t get a bike
I couldn't imagine working 6 jobs... I worked 2 jobs (1 full time, 1 part time - 13-14 hour days) and I was dying myself...Good on you! Some questions: What's the financial burden with motorcycling(Motorcycle, mods, gear, lessons) for you in Calgary? How much does a 300cc cost for you brand new? Its ~ $5,000 here from a BC dealer before tax. Would you pay extra for ABS? If you had a choice between only a car or motorcycle which would you get. I know the weather over there has insane winters, but what would you consider if you were in a city like Vancouver where it rains 7 months in a year. What's your opinion on jackets with airbags that deploy during an accident? Would you buy it? www.dainese.com/ca_en/d-air/street/ www.safermoto.com/products/index.html Stay safe.
Hey I really enjoyed this video. I'm looking to buy a bike sometime soon. My best friend has a yamaha R6. And he loves it. And now I want to start riding. Is it possible to make a video that involves you doing more up shifting and down shifting. Like on a regular road. So I can get an idea on how to shift up and down riding on main roads. Also what do you do when you need to make a quick stop.
What always confused me is why are the gears 1 down 4-5 up? why not just 5 up like a sequential gearbox in cars? assuming you in a car park or in traffic, how do you go from 2nd to first? is 2nd to first a push down past neutral into first?
I assume before your shift up the next gear upward, that you don't have to necessarily flip the throttle, but maybe more so if your going down a gear therefore rev matching?
So basically its the same exact thing as a manual car just different locations obviously. Its ganna take some time for me to learn but im sure ill get the hang of it. Does help that i know how to drive a stick shift car too
Always been learning towards honda because 1 i work at a honda dealership and 2 i just know how damn good they make their engines. I wont be doing much track, more mountain cruising than anything :)
Daniel Gonzalez It's just a matter of coordinating "right hand throttle off, left hand clutch in, foot up/down" instead of "foot push and right hand gear change". The basic principle is the exact same one as in "shift up by ear and shift down by feel"
I want to thank you for your videos it has helped me alot as a beginning rider, you provide excellent details as well as having a clear voice to understand your tips in all the videos you have up loaded thank you .
I feel that truly, this is one of the best episodes that I have seen that best illustrates how to drive a bike at first. I will start that at first I was hesitant of this channel. However, I have come to realize that this channel best illustrates how to start on a beginner bike and then some, without the confusion of not seeing what you are believing.
I'm still only 14 so I don't even have my license yet(have to be 15 and half to take the paper test and 16 to take the drivers test [not sure what you law is]) so I'm new getting into this stuff. I've always wanted to ride a motorcycle but didn't know anything about it. But thanks to u I've learn about the motorcycle and what not (I'm totally not commenting this before I finish the video....). So thank you for making this video and I'm saying this for all the beginners that came here like me :3. Ps- my sister is 15 so I'm actually learning along with her on how to drive and stuff but nothing advanced. Okay now I finished so thank you very much!
I'm glad you found my video helpful. I have other videos for riding that you should definitely check out :) If you have any questions, please ask away!
nice video i just got a yamaha r6 my 1st bike and i never ride before the first time i ride it was yesterday after i watch your video and i did good didnt fall and did change it to 2nd lol thats it ima try a lil faster today
+Matti Schmolo I am so glad I could help! What do you mean by pushing the brakes? If you mean by coming to a complete stop, then yes. If you are just slowing down then you don't have to. Although I'd recommend downshifting :)
most used bikes are anywhere between 5,000 to 15,000 km. I'm not sure what that is in miles. as long as the bike is well maintained and taken care of, it should be okay :)
+sameer ahamed a 600 is not bad, well for me I rode dirt bikes farely often so it was easy for me just a little more power then I was used too, but my friend started on a 300 and he said after 2 months he hated it he soon after got a 600 and he loves it because its fast enough he was a 1000 just to be louder and faster but all in all i highly recommend honda because their fairings are plastic and easy to replace especially the gas tank you can take the cover off unlike all the other ones which you have to replace the whole tank and i personally think the way you sit is more comfortable ive rode it at most for 6 hours and didnt really feel uncomfortable and i fell they pull better than other bikes
Helmet yes, jacket yes lol and gloves are yes. You do everything with your hands! and road rash wont be good on them. even if I am not wearing my jacket, i wear my gloves and helmet.
Ryan Hong If your choice is between the cbr 250 or cbr 300, DEFINITELY cbr 300. The extra 50 cc will come in handy and the bike won't rev as high on high ways. You can easily give passengers a ride too although the 250 can do that too but 300 is easier. I personally think the 300 has much better styling/looks. They both hold resale value pretty good :) You may find both of them to be a little bit small on you if you are 6ft tall. Try sitting on them and see how you feel. If you are tight on cash, go with which ever one is cheaper which will probably be 250 but if you can get a 300, I say get the 300.
Yo dude thanks for the tutorials on you're channel, and hopefully when I get 18 I'm probably going to get a ninja 300, just like yours in white thanks bro and your channel is great and keep up with the good work👍🏻
So I have a '14 GT500 (Manual) and I learned that very easy blah blah. Thinking about getting an R6 or R1. So my gears in the shelby are extremely short so I always start in 2nd. Is that possible on a bike? I don't know why but that seems more comfortable to me both in the car and on the bike. I'm also kind of nervous about making turns on a bike. Does it just turn "naturally" (as in when I turn the bike will lean itself and such)
turning on a bike is more difficult when you are moving extremely slow. Turning on a bike will come to you naturally :) As for starting in 2nd gear, I'm not too sure but I think you can as long as the clutch is pulled in.
What if you're 1st bike is a rebuilt 97Kawasaki GSX60 1000? Never had a bike b4 just got it bcause every1 said dat if u cld drive a standard shift car/truck u can drive a motorcycle! But dis is a 1000 not a start bike 4 a beginner, lots of powr I'm scared of it but I wnt2 keep it!
Mak!zZz haha well as long as you think you can control it and keep cool then go for it! I have a buddy who started on a hayabusa and he's been doing fine :) It's all self control!
Hey I love you're videos and even though I'm only twelve I want to ride a bike instead of a car when I'm older my grandparents won't let me get a bike until I'm 18 (which is probably a good idea honestly) but I want to know what bike would be a good one I'm thinking about getting a 300 because I'm a beginner thanks for the help!
I'm glad your grandparents will let you get a bike at 18 :) I recommend a 300 but I have a few friends who started on a 600 and they are doing okay as well. As a beginner you will find a 300 much easier to ride and learn on. It is much more forgiving when you make mistakes. I recommend the ninja 300 but honda just released a 300 as well :)
Only thing I don't agree with is saying that all beginners will fall. Saying that alone will turn off so many people because they think it is something inevitable. While it is more likely you will drop the bike or fall as a beginner, it's not guaranteed. Other than that, good video.

100 percent hes tried to steal a bike
+Michael Cook not that i know anything about that u know haha lol
I would try to steal my own bike... To improve its security lol😂😂
100 percent he tried to steal a real bike like a Ninja liter bike to replace his tiny one
Altough i didn't need this video, i still found it well done and somewhat entertaining.
You earned a sub!
Kid574 Thank you! haha I'm glad it was entertaining enough for someone who already knows how to ride to watch it haha cheers!
Kid574 I did the same
When i started to learn to drive i just wore my iron man suit.
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 good one

3:18 He fucked himself over when he said that lol Imao
+Hritik Ronvelia hahahahahahahahaha
This is the best video for beginners, thanks!!
my question is, when stopping a bike at a red light can you stop at any gear or do you have to downshift to first gear and then stop?
+1satinwarrior i think u need to go to neutral and when the light goes green then u go to first and so on... I'm not sure tho D:
+1satinwarrior I think, I can help u. When I am stopping at red light, I prefer to downshift the gear to 2nd or 1st gear(usually 1st gear, in case the light turn green before I fully stop). But u can also stop at any gear(1~6). Because when u are stall, u still can downshift the gear. quickly. Just step on the paddle until 1st gear or neutral.
Mamat Sapik wwo thank you. yup that def helped
You could stop in any gear as long as u have the clutch engaged. Once ur at a stop u could shift it down to first and just hold the clutch in.
i was about to ask that haha
that was awesome and ım glad you changed your camera or mic,and know ım ready to ride a bike,thanks a lot dude!!!
I'm so glad I could help!!!! I'm really excited for you to get a bike :D
Ahh bro you finally got around to doing this haha I remember we were talking about it loooooong ago!!! Nicely done man this is definitely a bit more than your first one, perfect remake/ updated video! Miss riding with you dude it's been toooooooooo long, next season man we didn't get out enough this year haha, next year for-sure!! We should ride to Van city on a roadtrip !
hahaha hell yes! let's do a nice long road trip dude and party a bit :D
in my opinion the best way to learn how to ride a motorcycle is ask ur biker friend to teach u how to ride motorcycle haha xD
holy fuck. a tree at 130. Hope all is well bro. thanks for the video
thanks :) it was km/hr so not as fast as people think but it hurt.
Awesome video, just an heads up, the slopey parking lot is to manage rain water to specific drains.
***** makes sense!
Nice! I was wondering
Look at the shadow of the bike !!! 1:57 - 0:00

this could be a 5 min video done properly
why don't you make one then ?
+IINoisyBoyII He can't make one about bikes because he only rides a 50cc vespa

Btw im 5’2 ; short and petite; do u recommend kawasaki 650 as a starter motorbike?!
what about a 2006 Suzuki GSX-R 600 for a first bike?
Ian Black If you think you can control the throttle and the power the bike has to offer, go for it :) It's a fun bike!
honestly i want something that is on the cheaper end that is still has a good amount of power and something i could have fun with. Do you have any recommendations? and i would like it to be kinda fast.
then go with the GSXR 600 :) It's priced nicely and it's FAST.
thank you for helping me out
no problem!
I'm surprised you never mentioned counter steering to steer a moving bike. That should at least been demonstrated. Maybe next time mention you can be hurt or killed on any size bike, no matter it's engine size, and caution should always be used.
U take to long to get to the actual explanation. And u talk a out stuff thats not important in riding a bike
He probably felt what he said was important. You are not the one to determine what someone values as important.
Well then obviously you're not looking to know how to ride a bike. People who *do* want to learn how to ride a motorbike would prefer to know how, and why everything works.

This is a big help as I am getting a bike in about 6-7 years
glad I could help :)
What are you, 12?
Im big fucker I need a atleast a 600...lol
did you realise that as you were in that parking lot all that other people would see is a motorcycle dude using hand gestures and acting like he was talking to an imaginary group of people
hahahahaha some of the kids playing football came by and asked if everything was okay LOL
my only problem in riding is turning on corners. How can.i get in a better balance or turning better in corners?
do you mean during slow speed?
I have 15 years and 2 months and in about 6-7 months ill get my A1 licence. Do you think Aprilia Rs 125 is good for a beginner, because I love that bike.Thanks a lot,

I think Aprilia makes beautiful bikes :) I've never rode any Aprilias before but I've heard good things about it. 125cc would be good depending on how you will be using the bike for :) If you plan on doing lots of highway traveling, I highly recommend something bigger like 250 or 300 but if you are just riding to work or just around town, then 125 will be a fun bike and good beginner bike :)

Funny you said that 300s don't have gear indicators. Ever ridden an R3?
I think you misunderstood. my 300 had a gear indicator.
Nice man, Very informative! Nice bike too.
Glad I could help!
What if i don't know if i want to ride a bike? I know i'll love the feeling, but i'm not sure if i want to ride a dangerous vehicle.

Sure glad I learned how to drive on a stick shift. Learning to ride a motorcycle should be a piece of cake. Sweet windy rumbling cake.
haha ya you already know the concept so it should be a breeze haha
At 10:05 did anyone else pause and tried to work out what do do and picture yourself on an bike
hahaha I did it when I was learning XD
Here's some great starter bikes. Once you buy it try to get it at least 15-20psi of boost from a high quality turbo and 5-7psi of NOS on top of that, try for a minimum of 300-500hp @5500+rpm to peak.

Thanks for sharing this man! I'm gonna be getting a Honda cbr250r soon! I'm also gonna be taking a course for this at my college! :-)
Sinuate NICE! You're gonna love that bike :) And good! You're taking a course. Not a lot of people seem to take it but it's definitely worth it.
MyLifeOnEarth 365 :DD
Well that was long, informative and helpfull. Wish I had some tutorial options when I started riding.
Glad I could help :)
so what's the difference between a normal shift and a downshift? how does it work
+Luis R there's up shift or down shift. down shift to go down in gear and up shift to go up in gear :)
Im 13 turning 14 i want a bike and just asking is it just like riding a bike a little ? Another question is there such thing. As a. Atomatic motorcycle not manual with 6 gears or 5

you hit a tree at 130 and your going to teach us how to ride a bike? ok im watching

u crashed a bike into a tree doin 130?! shhhhhiiiiit good vid though
+dnfrd2 130+ is what the police report says. I don't exactly remember what I was going except it was fast. I'm definitely lucky. and thank you :)
I GOT 6 JOBS, I DONT GET TIRED!
you forgot to say if you use only the front or the back break or use both
Vader9568 whatever makes you comfortable. Don't use front brake on corners it will make your bike stand up straight when you are leaning
This is not helpful at all
Dude this video is a great help!!!!!!! Thanks
+Derrico White I'm glad I could help!!!
+MyLifeOnEarth 365 what is the resivour for? A lot of people ride with resivour covers and I have no idea what it is for
+Tobias Sig Sonne it's just cosmetic. some say it keeps the reservoir clean but I haven't noticed any difference haha
+MyLifeOnEarth 365 wow that's a fast response dude! but it was more like the resivour itself at not the cover. sorry if I did not put it clear enough. But anyways great vid dude.
+Tobias Sig Sonne oh that's just the brake fluid haha :) and I try my best to reply fast. thanks man :)
Holy shit bro u hit a tree going 130? That's insane your lucky to be alive man
This video was so well done!!! I’m a complete beginner!! Saying that all beginners will fall to putting that out there will knock the nerves off ahead of time and I liked that. Think of it like a bicycle you fall you get back up. If you don’t accept that you MIGHT fall don’t get a bike
I appreciate your compliments!!!! Glad you liked it
I see you with that timeflies intro ;)
What's the song called at the start of the video?
It's called Turn it up by timeflies
What's the bike you used in this videi please?
it's a 2014 Kawasaki zx6r
Thanks for sharing this is a good way to go
Marvin Smith no problem :)
I just got my Motorcycle license today, and when I started riding this video helped me so much
I'm so glad I could help :) Thanks for the comment!
I couldn't imagine working 6 jobs... I worked 2 jobs (1 full time, 1 part time - 13-14 hour days) and I was dying myself...Good on you!
Some questions:
What's the financial burden with motorcycling(Motorcycle, mods, gear, lessons) for you in Calgary? How much does a 300cc cost for you brand new? Its ~ $5,000 here from a BC dealer before tax. Would you pay extra for ABS?
If you had a choice between only a car or motorcycle which would you get. I know the weather over there has insane winters, but what would you consider if you were in a city like Vancouver where it rains 7 months in a year.

Hey I really enjoyed this video. I'm looking to buy a bike sometime soon. My best friend has a yamaha R6. And he loves it. And now I want to start riding. Is it possible to make a video that involves you doing more up shifting and down shifting. Like on a regular road. So I can get an idea on how to shift up and down riding on main roads. Also what do you do when you need to make a quick stop.
Once the weather gets nice, I'll definitely make a vid of that for you :)
What always confused me is why are the gears 1 down 4-5 up?
why not just 5 up like a sequential gearbox in cars?
assuming you in a car park or in traffic, how do you go from 2nd to first? is 2nd to first a push down past neutral into first?
I already know how to ride but I found this entertaining and some other people did too
I assume before your shift up the next gear upward, that you don't have to necessarily flip the throttle, but maybe more so if your going down a gear therefore rev matching?
Dam nice. Where did you get those decals for your ninja 300???
legokingiscool It actually came with the fairing. It's clear coated on.
MyLifeOnEarth 365 oh thats cool m8.
thanks bro ima get a Suzuki gsxr 2007 600cc
So basically its the same exact thing as a manual car just different locations obviously. Its ganna take some time for me to learn but im sure ill get the hang of it. Does help that i know how to drive a stick shift car too
Daniel Gonzalez pretty much :) you just have to get the hang of using different controls to do the same thing
MyLifeOnEarth 365 Seems like it, damn i cant wait! I think ive decided on a Honda CBR 600 to start off with
You can't go wrong with Honda man haha they are just really good. Amazing track bike :)
Always been learning towards honda because 1 i work at a honda dealership and 2 i just know how damn good they make their engines. I wont be doing much track, more mountain cruising than anything :)
Daniel Gonzalez It's just a matter of coordinating "right hand throttle off, left hand clutch in, foot up/down" instead of "foot push and right hand gear change". The basic principle is the exact same one as in "shift up by ear and shift down by feel"
So if ur in 4th & let's say u wanna roll it off u can't just go from 4th to neutral & coast right? U have to downshift from 4th to 1st then Neutral?
yup! I mean you can disengage the clutch and coast but you'll have to kick down to neutral
Hey bro how much slack
(free play) should your clutch have? Should it engage right at the end like yours or does it change from bike to bike ?
the clutch lever generally has some free play :) it definitely changes from bike to bike :)
A 300 dosent have a gear indicator... the grom has one!
thank you bro i like and sub i learn using a grom now iknow hpw to ride now i got to start saving money for a cbr 600rr
I'm glad you liked it!
I want to thank you for your videos it has helped me alot as a beginning rider, you provide excellent details as well as having a clear voice to understand your tips in all the videos you have up loaded thank you .
Julio Letona I'm so happy that my video could help you out!!! Thank you for watching my videos :)
If you're in 3rd or 4th gear, can you downshift from 3rd or 4th to 1st or do you have to go down on each one?
One each time, if you go down to many at a time you will lock your back wheel up and potentially skid
I'm 6'2 so I was way too big for the smaller sized bike. Had to get a CBR600 to start and don't regret a bit of it
that's the same with my buddy whytetigerrides! He's like 6Foot4Honda and super tall. He bought a cbr600 and loved it. Now he rides a cruiser lol
Thank you this video looks really helpful I'm getting a bike soon and can't wait to try it out!
I'm glad I could help!
I feel that truly, this is one of the best episodes that I have seen that best illustrates how to drive a bike at first. I will start that at first I was hesitant of this channel. However, I have come to realize that this channel best illustrates how to start on a beginner bike and then some, without the confusion of not seeing what you are believing.
This means a lot to me. Thank you for the support
I started out on a 750cc and it was much harder and heavier vs when I first tried to ride a 250
when you are really good at cycling, is it easy? im only 15 and 2 metres long, does that make it more difficult?
U just gonna need a bike that's comfortable to u
I'm still only 14 so I don't even have my license yet(have to be 15 and half to take the paper test and 16 to take the drivers test [not sure what you law is]) so I'm new getting into this stuff. I've always wanted to ride a motorcycle but didn't know anything about it. But thanks to u I've learn about the motorcycle and what not (I'm totally not commenting this before I finish the video....). So thank you for making this video and I'm saying this for all the beginners that came here like me :3. Ps- my sister is 15 so I'm actually learning along with her on how to drive and stuff but nothing advanced. Okay now I finished so thank you very much!
I'm glad you found my video helpful. I have other videos for riding that you should definitely check out :) If you have any questions, please ask away!
MyLifeOnEarth 365
Awesome I'll definitely check them out! Thanks a lot!
I want to buy my first. what I want is it must be 250cc, good looking and exhaust sound like a Ferrari. any suggestions?
Dude I go to that school, Robert thirsk high school lol , can't wait for this summer Deerfoot mall meets xD
Paul The Rider hahah seriously?! that's awesome! dude keep an eye out on my channel. my bike is different now
3:15 😂😂😂 (busted) u spoke too much
LOL
nice video i just got a yamaha r6 my 1st bike and i never ride before the first time i ride it was yesterday after i watch your video and i did good didnt fall and did change it to 2nd lol thats it ima try a lil faster today
Congrats!!! R6 is an amazing bike haha I'm glad my videos helped you :)
im getting a bike soon and this helps so much!! and do u have to pull the clutch in when pushing the breaks?
+Matti Schmolo I am so glad I could help! What do you mean by pushing the brakes? If you mean by coming to a complete stop, then yes. If you are just slowing down then you don't have to. Although I'd recommend downshifting :)
anyway how make balance clause and excelerater ? i don't know bike start.
If I am buying a used r6, what miles am I looking for, and what is too high for a bike? (First bike)
most used bikes are anywhere between 5,000 to 15,000 km. I'm not sure what that is in miles. as long as the bike is well maintained and taken care of, it should be okay :)
Ihtiyor Hamraev so whats the best starters bike
+sameer ahamed a 600 is not bad, well for me I rode dirt bikes farely often so it was easy for me just a little more power then I was used too, but my friend started on a 300 and he said after 2 months he hated it he soon after got a 600 and he loves it because its fast enough he was a 1000 just to be louder and faster but all in all i highly recommend honda because their fairings are plastic and easy to replace especially the gas tank you can take the cover off unlike all the other ones which you have to replace the whole tank and i personally think the way you sit is more comfortable ive rode it at most for 6 hours and didnt really feel uncomfortable and i fell they pull better than other bikes
I did start riding my friends bike in a parking lot and look it on the road twice, I can ride it well but when I get on the streets, its a bit scary
if you looking for a beginner bike buy 250 or 300 and if you buy used bike you need to look at the mile under 10.000 (sorry for my bad english)
i tought i came how to ride video not to how to Combo in mortal combat X
Helmet yes, jacket yes lol and gloves are yes. You do everything with your hands! and road rash wont be good on them. even if I am not wearing my jacket, i wear my gloves and helmet.
Good call! It makes sense now that I think about it
THANKS for tip on bikes riding but get better at make another
I'm looking to ride bikes in the future, I'm 6 ft 120 lbs. Do you recommend a Honda CBR250 or Honda CBR300? Thanks for your input. Great vid btw
Ryan Hong If your choice is between the cbr 250 or cbr 300, DEFINITELY cbr 300. The extra 50 cc will come in handy and the bike won't rev as high on high ways. You can easily give passengers a ride too although the 250 can do that too but 300 is easier. I personally think the 300 has much better styling/looks. They both hold resale value pretty good :) You may find both of them to be a little bit small on you if you are 6ft tall. Try sitting on them and see how you feel. If you are tight on cash, go with which ever one is cheaper which will probably be 250 but if you can get a 300, I say get the 300.
Yo dude thanks for the tutorials on you're channel, and hopefully when I get 18 I'm probably going to get a ninja 300, just like yours in white thanks bro and your channel is great and keep up with the good work👍🏻
I'm so glad I could help. I'm really excited for you to get the 300! I loved mine. I wish I still had it.
MyLifeOnEarth 365 Thank you so much
Hit a tree going 130 mph and ur alive ?
kph. don't worry. so many people have said the same thing
Thanks helped a lot
Kalee Berry I'm glad I could help!
Im a beginner and i have a suzuki bandit 1100
Alberto Nunez that's a sick bike :D
MyLifeOnEarth 365 for a beginner? :D
haha Harsh Sharma well if Alberto Nunez can handle it, it'll be okay for him :)
So I have a '14 GT500 (Manual) and I learned that very easy blah blah. Thinking about getting an R6 or R1. So my gears in the shelby are extremely short so I always start in 2nd. Is that possible on a bike? I don't know why but that seems more comfortable to me both in the car and on the bike. I'm also kind of nervous about making turns on a bike. Does it just turn "naturally" (as in when I turn the bike will lean itself and such)
turning on a bike is more difficult when you are moving extremely slow. Turning on a bike will come to you naturally :) As for starting in 2nd gear, I'm not too sure but I think you can as long as the clutch is pulled in.
What if you're 1st bike is a rebuilt 97Kawasaki GSX60 1000? Never had a bike b4 just got it bcause every1 said dat if u cld drive a standard shift car/truck u can drive a motorcycle! But dis is a 1000 not a start bike 4 a beginner, lots of powr I'm scared of it but I wnt2 keep it!
I would keep it but buy a used cheap 250. practice on it then transition over when you're comfortable:)
How come you only stay in 1st gear
You don't switch
I was really confused about the gear shifting but after searching through so many vids, finally one that explains it really well! Thanks man :)
Liam Kane I'm glad I could help! I know it can be confusing when you are new to it. I definitely was haha
MyLifeOnEarth 365 i'm glad you follow traffic laws unlike some motorcyclists.
I'm thinking about getting a motorcycle, any suggestions
+ZimeLime what kind of riding are you looking to do?
Great video dude :)
But what if i want to start riding an R1 :D
Mak!zZz haha well as long as you think you can control it and keep cool then go for it! I have a buddy who started on a hayabusa and he's been doing fine :) It's all self control!
MyLifeOnEarth 365 tnx dude.
130 and hit a tree, you shouldn't have a bike kid haha
Hey I love you're videos and even though I'm only twelve I want to ride a bike instead of a car when I'm older my grandparents won't let me get a bike until I'm 18 (which is probably a good idea honestly) but I want to know what bike would be a good one I'm thinking about getting a 300 because I'm a beginner thanks for the help!
I'm glad your grandparents will let you get a bike at 18 :) I recommend a 300 but I have a few friends who started on a 600 and they are doing okay as well. As a beginner you will find a 300 much easier to ride and learn on. It is much more forgiving when you make mistakes. I recommend the ninja 300 but honda just released a 300 as well :)
Thanks for the help! I appreciate it and can't wait to get on a bike! Thanks again
no problem :) I'm glad I could help!
very cool thanks for show this how would use your morries on a motor way or free way
Hello i love your video but i got my A1 license yesterday and i want to get a "2003 kawasaki 636" can i drive it with A1 or i need A2 ?
I'm not familiar with your local law so I'm not sure :(
@@JPVisuals okay thanks for answering
Do you keep your hands on the clutch while pressing the gas
maurice lindsey depends on what I'm doing. When I'm gearing up or down then yes. But if I'm just riding then no.
Oh ok i get it now thanx man that really helped a lot awesome video!
glad I could help!
