Thank you Bladed! I was hoping that you’d make a video like this. I had very little interest in bikes previously but now I find myself looking at them a lot more. I just need some help knowing what I'll need to get started and this video should help with that
recommend getting a MT-07. it's the nr1 most popular beginner bike and here you have to use your own bike to take your riders license. you also have to do a obstacle course while going crawl speed using the clutch and balancing before you are even allowed out for the street riding test so you know the MT is a good beginner bike that you can comfortably handle and grow in to :). most naked bikes in the 500-700cc range are good beginner bikes. just stay away from the high revving 10k+ ones because they are just annoying for a beginner to ride. other good bikes are the kawasaki Er-6N which is the nr1 most popular beginner bike on a budget. like 90% of the er6n that are for sale here come from people who used it as their first bike and used it for the driving test.
@@BladedAngel they've taught me so much as someone who grew up around cars and not bikes, especially explaining the differences between safety standards and what will keep you alive (now i just need to get the klr650 im saving for)
Really enjoying the motorcycle content there ! I'd like to give an advice to new riders : don't overthink your first bike's choice, you're not going to keep it very long, and your inexperience makes you unable to notice many of the flaws people report with some models anyways, so just go ahead and just get whatever you want IN THE BEGINNER BIKE CATERGORY, please don't go kill yourself on a 100+ hp bike because you think you can handle it : you can't.
yeah, I'm glad you use a HP clarification cuz when most ppl use CC It confuses most beginners. Since some 600s are slow, some are VERY FAST so I just say "Around 50HP area" is great starter. 100HP bikes start to get in 3-3.9 sec 0-60 already, wayyyy too much for most beginners.
@@BladedAngel Agreed, 100 is already way too much for a beginner, I just had to come up with a number without sounding like a stuck up "experienced" rider. Around 50 hp is neat but I think going up to 70 is fine, since that's where most beginner friendly parallel twin 600cc bikes are at. I live in Europe and honestly I would probably have ended up in multiple high speed accidents when I started, weren't it for the existence of the restrictive licence for new riders. And yeah people tend to get confused with CC, so I try to always speak in terms of HP to avoid any catastrophic confusion
Just got my 2nd Ninja 400, love little bikes, (definitely has nothing to do with the fact that I'm 5'7 and 130lbs) can't wait for more bike content from you!
Really glad to see some love for the Benellis! They are amazingly refined bikes. The Leoncino sounds fantastic due to their oddball 360 degree firing order, and their naked sportbike the Tornado 600i corners amazingly. Bladed, if you're ever in the PNW/Portland metro area, my riding group would love to have you! You're welcome to ride anything we got 😉 Love the moto vids my friend, cheers😁
I know it just came out, but the Kawasaki zx4rr looks insane! It has upgraded suspension, upgraded body positioning, and they upgraded it to an inline four, you get the high end power and that 600cc superbrike sound, but it's way more manageable. It's lightweight and flickable, and I think you can get them for around 10-11k after taxes/dealer fees.
well im just a guy with an age of 15,who somehow likes bike. There was a time when youtube just popped up a motorcycle video for me,i watched it,and i were so excited about bikes,i even said i will have one,and i will have a good time. Its good to see these bikes,like now i know what bike should i buy. Thank you Bladed,for this video,it helped me so much (sorry if my english is not that good tho,im from Hungary)😊
Had a 2015 Kawasaki Vulcan S in green from 2015 - 2022. Absolutely loved it. Thing is fast and a joy to ride. Unfortunately I had to sell it because my apartment doesn't allow motorcycles. My options were to keep it at my parents' (who live 8 hours away) and I ride it once or twice a year when I visit during riding season (they live in the north, so not a very long season), rent a storage unit which I'd then have to drive to if I wanted to ride it, or sell it and put those funds towards the new car I was getting soon. Unfortunately it was best to sell it. Got $6,200 when I paid $7,500. Not bad for a 7 year old vehicle.
Maxi Scooters need to come to US! I'm shocked Kymco came to US in 2018 onwards! Super bold! BMW, Burgman 650, and other Maxi Scooter WITHDREW from the the US unfortunately. So Kymco funnily enough, now has a monopoly....in a market no one wants, but hopefully soon will! I want other Maxi Scooters to return to US! Especially APrilia 850!!!!
Vespas are Fiat 500s on two wheels. Honorable mentions for me are: 1. Husqvarna Svartpilen 200/401 2. Suzuki SV650 3. Suzuki TU250 4. Kawasaki W250 5. Yamaha SR400
For dual sports if you’re a little more vertically challenged I recommend the Royal Enfield Himalayan I’m 5,3 and struggle with the height of a lot of bikes so when my dad got his I got the chance to ride it and was surprised when I could ride it and flat foot it
For those beginners who are still willing to buy a sport bikes because of their cool and sleek looking design, I’d personally recommend a Yamaha R15 V3/V4 It’s cheap, reliable and it’s the ideal starter bike for the beginners, best way to start from to get into high cc sport bikes
i love the motorcycle vids bladed, ive been thinking of maybe getting one and this has helped out a lot, however i am highly interested in electric motorcycles and really all I'm seeing is they are pretty much all the same just with different names. a tier list or a video with the basics and important info would be amazing. the only reason i haven't actually gone out and test ride any yet is cause I'm still recovering from an injury, and want one of these to be my town commuter
That's a very good, comprehensive list! This video deserves a lot more views. It's lot of work when I compare 7-8 bikes in my videos, you've 25! Phew! Hats off man!
the biike that I started with (with around 12 or 13 idk) was a Honda XRE300Rally it´s fast, reliable, relatively cheap (i bought it for $3800), really good for dirt and TORQUEY AF and has a super moddable engine too edit: please continue making motorcycle videos, I love them
I really recommend a 125 2 stroke dirt bike to anyone who live in a rural area. Easy to wrench on , easy to learn on and u get to stay away from traffic for a bit fully focusing on balancing , clutch work and cornering
yeah 125cc proper dirt bike or even a 250cc chinese supermoto/dirt bike as they are just perfect enough to play around on. my 2nd bike after my 50cc scooter was a 250cc supermoto from china i got for 500$. sold it when i got my fz6n. some farm kid and her mom came and bought it. 18hp and top speed of 110km/h is plenty enough for some fun
Noticed the Persona 5 music... But, anyway, my first bike, which I still have (this will be my 3rd season) is a 2005 Honda VTX 1300 C. Sure, there is something to be said for the beginner bikes here, and I still definitely want to try the Vulcan S/GV 650, but depending on your wallet, your size, and availability, it's perfectly fine to go above 1000 cc, so long as you're mature and responsible.
I have a CBR250R that I picked up for $2000CAD. Gets 80+MPG, It saved my ass with gas prices in 2022 redlining at almost $2/L. Still ride it almost everyday in the summer, its an amazing city commuter. I want to get a ZX4R pretty much just for the I4 sound, but I can't really justify it seeing as the 250 does everything I want it to do.
So I just wanted to let you know that this video and one of the other videos you made is the reason why I currently have a Honda super cub and it’s all your fault so I got it in October of last year and I now almost have 4000 miles on it over this past winter And it’s super awesome and super economical love it I went out and tried to figure out what would be the cheapest most economical, most reliable motorcycle that I could possibly get my hands on, and it turned out that pond. Super cub was what I decided was the best option for me and I have not been disappointed, so thank you for letting me know about this piece of motorcycle equipment. I was going to wait a bit to buy it but then I watched the anime and then it was completely over and then probably within a week or two I had one.
as a noobie rider i have to say the biggest thing to me between a begginer bike and a standard bike is the torque. 40hp and 10lb ft is a ton o fun and easy to ride. 40hp and 60 lb ft is terrifying and frankly dangerous for me
Quick question as someone who’s looking to get into motorcycles, what would you recommend in terms of gear and security/safety? I’m thinking about a Scram 411 but considering that I live in Canada and 400 series highways are quite common, I want to know what’s safe for things like highways while still being relatively affordable and dependable, and you seem like a good person to ask since you also have a lot of experience with similar American highways.
That question is really vague - Do you mean safety gear jn terns of clothing? Security in terms of locking up your bike for the night? In terms of motorways, as long as it can go the speed limit (+ a little bit so youre not redlining the whole time) then youre fine.
Actually I totally forgot about Vespas. I'm not a fan by any means but I'm looking for a short comuter and everything you said about it might be true in US but in Europe this fits like a glove. Not having to shift might be actually very benefic. How did I forgot about it. Thx ❤️
Bladed, you really made me liking them bikes, so take responsibility for that! Give us an explanatory video on the types, so everybody could choose the one that will be to their liking!
Vespa's might be overpriced, but if you buy an old rusty vespa from 1980 with a manual clutch adn hand gears. its also cheap and still runs, it just neads some welding and parts.
I want to get my license and a bike, but my parents are strongly opposed, so i will when i move out. This hopefully will help with my first inevitable purchase though
This is such a dope vid, I now also know what kind of bike I want whenever I get my license! Thanks bladed! Looking forward to more motorcycle content in the future!
I got a brand-new '22 Honda CB300R as my first ever motorcycle, in the blue and gold; I love the thing, it's peppy and handles incredibly well. It also looks amazing in that color combo. Gets closer to 65-70mpg and doesn't like going over 85mph. Unfortunately, it's starting to cough only 8 months after I got it, but fortunately the work is under warranty... hopefully just a one-time problem, waiting to hear back from the garage to see what's up with it (the original dealer I bought it from has a shoddy reputation locally, so maybe they did something stupid... they also scratched the exhaust, which they replaced). I do a lot of highway miles since it's my commuter, so I'm often running it up pretty high in the RPMs. Amazing between 20-60mph, and pops and burbles upon deceleration. Also only 317lbs, which is great for a beginner/woman rider :)
Went to my local Honda dealership they quoted me 4k something out the door taxes and all for a brand new grom, not the grom abs the regular grom, they didn’t run my details, I just asked hey I’m thinking about getting into a grom cause I was told it was a good starter bike, they didn’t try to sell me on anything told me yes you can pay in cash upfront and here is a pamphlet for a bike course if you need to get your license in my opinion it was a very nice experience
cafe racer category where also, ngl as a KTM fanboy in denial, the first generation of RC just looks much better than what we have now. i will never understand why KTM just conpletely killed the soul (aesthetics wise) on the RC and i am always gonna be angry also, funny you recommended the Himalayan because idk how US is like, but even here in India where the cruising speeds are either 37 mph or 50 mph, it already takes forever to overtake unless i drop down to 3rd or even 2nd lol there's a 450 liquid cooled in the works, so theres that to be excited about ig
The trail isnt as close to the supercub as you'd think. The gearing is lower, the engine is tuned for torque (it got a new bore/stroke for 2023 too), and the frame is a bit beefier. It also gets a center stand, snorkel, kickstarter, and that comically large rear rack. It's basically the cooler Daniel of minimotos.
i just started riding last sept. and I have a 2023 ninja 400 and I absolutely LOVE IT, I mod the hell out of it for the track, its sporty, looks beautiful and the aftermarket is endless, and the top speed is 126 from personal experience if anyone cares. you can flick it so easily, I have nothing bad to say about the ninja 400. Its like your moms signature fettuccini alfredo dish at family dinner
@@matthewhayes4629 nope. its not super toque-y so you can open her up in first and not get sent back into the car behind you, obviously you take it super easy until you learn the bike, then the rest follows. I started out on my moms old rebel 250 for a month just learning the basics, but the 400 is so beginner friendly, if you you are more scared, it wont jerk you around, but if your confident you can really flick it and it will keep you going for a while
I’ve been riding a zx650 kawi and the v twin is definitely forgiving but has enough power to get around cars on the interstate, was looking for a ninja 400 but there pricey compared to the deal I got
Crazy to think that in some places people start with a 300cc In the country i live, most people start with a 100cc - 150cc and these stronger bikes (over 300cc), are dream bikes for most people. My father always says that these bikes (up to 160cc) are basically bycicles 😅.
5:15 Those stiles of bikes are my favorite,and as you sad it i don't need a bike that can go 0-100km/h in 2 sec i just want a bike that can look like that.
Honestly, with today's market ( showing how the future market is going to be) , is to get a motorcycle for a commuter and a sports car as a weekend car.
Really surprised you went with the Rebel 300/500 instead of the older but still reliable Rebel 250. Super cheap but a great beginner bike. I had a 1985 Rebel 250 (first model year), and am looking at a Harley Davidson Dyna Street Bob next.
I remember those. I was only fifteen and there's a 150cc max where I live and my dad didn't want me on something that couldn't get out of its own way, so we looked at bigger bikes that didn't overtly say how big they were, like the Kawasaki Ninja 250 that I really wanted. Ended up coming down to that or the Honda Reflex. I took the Reflex; the Rebel was too short for me because I have long legs. My friend had a Rebel, though.
I'm new to bikes and i have my eye on a BMW G650GS (old model) so i was expecting to see the G310GS in the video since i have seen it recommended a bit on the AVT bike segments.
Thank you Bladed! I was hoping that you’d make a video like this.

Went to my local Honda dealership they quoted me 4k something out the door taxes and all for a brand new grom, not the grom abs the regular grom, they didn’t run my details, I just asked hey I’m thinking about getting into a grom cause I was told it was a good starter bike, they didn’t try to sell me on anything told me yes you can pay in cash upfront and here is a pamphlet for a bike course if you need to get your license in my opinion it was a very nice experience
That anime manual looks cool tbh !
cafe racer category where
also, ngl as a KTM fanboy in denial, the first generation of RC just looks much better than what we have now. i will never understand why KTM just conpletely killed the soul (aesthetics wise) on the RC and i am always gonna be angry
also, funny you recommended the Himalayan because idk how US is like, but even here in India where the cruising speeds are either 37 mph or 50 mph, it already takes forever to overtake unless i drop down to 3rd or even 2nd lol
there's a 450 liquid cooled in the works, so theres that to be excited about ig
I am getting my license for a moped I am so exited to ride it this summer.
I’m 35 and rode as a kid but not since my teens . Saving for my first street bike now any suggestions guys ? Thanks btw I cannot wait to ride !!!
Glad I came on this cause Im actually looking into getting one. Leaning to the Meteor 650
The trail isnt as close to the supercub as you'd think. The gearing is lower, the engine is tuned for torque (it got a new bore/stroke for 2023 too), and the frame is a bit beefier. It also gets a center stand, snorkel, kickstarter, and that comically large rear rack. It's basically the cooler Daniel of minimotos.
I dont have a bike license but i see the royal enfield lyghtning in the chrome and its just damn
i just started riding last sept. and I have a 2023 ninja 400 and I absolutely LOVE IT, I mod the hell out of it for the track, its sporty, looks beautiful and the aftermarket is endless, and the top speed is 126 from personal experience if anyone cares. you can flick it so easily, I have nothing bad to say about the ninja 400. Its like your moms signature fettuccini alfredo dish at family dinner
So 400 was not too powerful for you staring out? I was looking into getting the same bike
@@matthewhayes4629 nope. its not super toque-y so you can open her up in first and not get sent back into the car behind you, obviously you take it super easy until you learn the bike, then the rest follows. I started out on my moms old rebel 250 for a month just learning the basics, but the 400 is so beginner friendly, if you you are more scared, it wont jerk you around, but if your confident you can really flick it and it will keep you going for a while
Been a minute pal, it’s weird how I’ve been thinking about this a lot

Meming aside, Good to have you here!
I am Italy and I have to agree with you witch is sad because vesba is part of my heritage
Great video, I was wondering what you felt about Moto Guzzi V7 series? Their a bit more expensive, but the exact style I enjoy.
I can’t even begin to tell you how jealous I am that you got that anime instruction manual on how to use the super cub so jealous I want it
I’ve been riding a zx650 kawi and the v twin is definitely forgiving but has enough power to get around cars on the interstate, was looking for a ninja 400 but there pricey compared to the deal I got
Learned on ninja 250. Rode it like 4 times, got my first bike after, vulcan 800
I'm going to become a biker at this rate, which isn't actually a bad thing. Keep it up with the bike videos, there great.
Hope you Outpace Yammi noob, if so it would be awesome to see you on the Dirt. Whether it’s ADV, Enduro, and or Motocross!! 😎
Best recommendations for me being 6’5 240 pounds and has never touched a motorcycle in my life
Do more of this motorcycle content big man or i will arrive at your house and take all of your 10mms
Bold of you to assume I don't already lose 10mm sockets
There will be none for you to take! MUHAHA
Had 50cc Chinese scooter full throttle all time it was nice and it held for about 3k miles and i sold ot
I was thinking more on Honda cub level, but go on😂
Crazy to think that in some places people start with a 300cc
In the country i live, most people start with a 100cc - 150cc and these stronger bikes (over 300cc), are dream bikes for most people.
My father always says that these bikes (up to 160cc) are basically bycicles 😅.
I've heard the Triumph Bonneville series is a fairly decent starter bike and I've heard good things about the Speedmaster cruiser bike
5:15 Those stiles of bikes are my favorite,and as you sad it i don't need a bike that can go 0-100km/h in 2 sec i just want a bike that can look like that.
I have the supercub110 and i 100 percent agree
I got the Honda NC750X. It's an amazing starter bike
Do a vid on every type of bike and please talk about the bussy bois and gsxr squids
Honestly, with today's market ( showing how the future market is going to be) , is to get a motorcycle for a commuter and a sports car as a weekend car.
I never really cared about bikes before, but this vid might change my mind before I get my driving license :v
Thanks. Attempting to get my license and this helps a lot!
Really surprised you went with the Rebel 300/500 instead of the older but still reliable Rebel 250. Super cheap but a great beginner bike.
I had a 1985 Rebel 250 (first model year), and am looking at a Harley Davidson Dyna Street Bob next.
I remember those. I was only fifteen and there's a 150cc max where I live and my dad didn't want me on something that couldn't get out of its own way, so we looked at bigger bikes that didn't overtly say how big they were, like the Kawasaki Ninja 250 that I really wanted. Ended up coming down to that or the Honda Reflex. I took the Reflex; the Rebel was too short for me because I have long legs. My friend had a Rebel, though.
this seems to be the place where I admit to have unironically enjoyed the super cub anime
I love the video man You really got me in to bikes
Thank you for making motorcycle videos i enjoy these
I’ve been riding bikes for over a year now and I hardly see Suzuki and when I bring it up people always hate them. I wonder why
I wish the Ninja ZX25R was available. That thing is awesome and sounds great.
Picked up a 1979 BMW R65 as a first bike, hope that's not too much of a fuckup 😂
More bike videos. I’m genuinely curious on what makes them appealing compared to cars.
I'm new to bikes and i have my eye on a BMW G650GS (old model) so i was expecting to see the G310GS in the video since i have seen it recommended a bit on the AVT bike segments.
If you're vertically challenged and want a sports bike or naked bike, Kawasaki's tend to have a lower seat height than others
The cbr150 is also a good choice
