Unfortunately my Duke 200 isn’t as big as yours but I fit comfortably at 6.1” and it still has the power to launch to 20mph in a second.

[@steveaga4683]

I am returning to biking after 50 years....and how things have changed! In my day, a monster bike was something like a Norton Commando 750 or a Triumph Bonneville! 1000cc and above were unheard of! I find it hard to believe that what I regarded as superbikes are now associated with new riders!

I know you guys hate them but I'm getting a Royal Enfield Int650 for a beginner bike and feel like it's about perfect for that purpose.

[@alexeira6759]

Just out of curiosity how much extra was added to msrp of the bike I’m between z650 or ninja 650 but i don’t want to grab on a big Chung of change and buy it used off someone but if the out the door price is too much then maybe the better option is used..

[@chorseundgrd]

@@alexeira6759 In case Ryan doesn't get back to you, I got a quote for a brand new Ninja 650 OTD at about $9k and some change. The used one I got was about $2k less. Hope this helps.

[@ryanphillips2456]

@@alexeira6759 I dont remember the breakdown but I paid msrp, tax, title and licensing and all that jumbo and then maybe a $2-300 processing fee. (Which you may be able to haggle out of but didn't even think of it because of excitement/3rd shift worker doing the buying when I should be sleeping. Out the door for me was $8600 in Illinois. Different states may cost more or less. 1 year warranty, did not pay the $800 for 3 years added on top of that but some consider it worth it. I figure I'll be on a new bike within 2 years and 1 year extra was $400 so meh. Idk about your market but used bikes seem to be about $1000 cheaper than msrp for decent miles but likely no 1 year warranty. If its your first bike, I'd buy brand new at a $1000 price difference. I did consider used 2011ish of different models that sit around $4k. Anything over 7.5k miles and you better make sure the maintenance was done.
Edit: $2k price difference, not $1k. But most bikes i looked in my area are already at 7.5k miles. So I felt $2k was worth spending to know the bike was taken care of. Especially sport/sportlike bikes. Cause I already have a project car. I did not want to end up with a project bike with a premium price.

[@charlescraven6489]

Probably a bad idea but I just got the 2022 Indian Chief bobber with the 111ci and absolutely love it. Even made my Harley buddys a little jealous showing them the different riding modes. Fits me good and is easy to ride compared to the dirt bikes I’m used to

[@Xener09]

Best beginner dual sport bike, to me has got to be the Yamaha TW200. Great for cruising around on the streets, crazy off road capabilities, low power for the new rider but great performance. Low weight, low seat height, but still 11" ground clearance.

[@MrMethadrine]

Unfortunately most cruisers come out at high cc...I wouldnt consider 1100 cc a beginners bike.

[@mrcojocaru]

I just watched a video yesterday about why yammie hates sports bikes, now they're his favorite 😅

[@stalvar]

I started with my Yamaha YBR 125, and hell, this is one of the most universal bikes I could buy. Does nice in the city and roads, it's very handy off road (only mud and loose sand is too much), the ergonomics are on point and the handling is very easy. Only downfall is the transmission which likes to not go smooth into low gears and even stop in-between them, which can cause a unintended rev-up or engine stop, but hell, I'm giving that bike solid 5-/6 as a starter bike.
The best is, I would like to ride a scrambler, yet they are ugly or (when nice) expensive, so I'm about to buy GSR 600 next year, just cuz I love how it looks xDD.

[@brandonwirtz2308]

IMO, Spite keeping his preferences, and those preferences clashing with yammie's preferences, adds so much to each video.

In the UK, the cc is decided by your experience. (you'll have to check it out). Also, you actually have to have a licence (not an endorsement. An endorsement in the UK is a penalty on your licence). I believe you start on a 125cc or less. Again I believe you can only ride a 250cc for 2 years after you have passed your test. How ever! If you take a specialised test, you can ride larger bikes. I took my test 33 years ago. A lot has changed.
