      @SkadooHusky 5 років тому

      Lakefern hey 2 drops isn't bad. I've dropped my bike twice already in the last month. I'm not a new rider either just had an 8 year hiatus. one was from stalling out off-road.
      also some 250s have more power locked away. a stage 1 intake and exhaust along with a fuel mapping adjustment can increase power by %50 on Honda's little bikes.
      it's not even about the power but engine behavior. it'll make it a bit sharper an aggressive.
      I don't suggest doing that right away, it won't be as forgiving.

    Beginner on a 1976 Honda CB500T. Most accurate thing I've heard. I will say though, learning to rebuild carbs, bleed brakes, replacing a throttle, cleaning out a petcock, rebuilding a clutch, and replacing the switches has taught me a lot about these beautiful machines. I will eventually buy another bike to ride consistently, but I will always keep my current bike around.

      1st bike 650cc honda nighthawk used. (Lived in western Colorado, I was going to start with a 250cc, but my class/instructor reccomended I start with at least a 500cc due to my size (5'8"/tall/long enough legs/strong enough for 500/650cc, his opinion ) and in several places the 70mph I-10 interstate, is the only choice through the canyons) I loved that bike. Then the 750cc honda shadow, used, then the Yamaha v-star, used, now my Harley Road King, February 2019, used/looked almost new,
      I tried so hard not to show how much I wanted that bike, permagrin! I tried to ask intelligent questions, it was my happy valentine's gift (February purchase), happy birthday, merry Christmas all rolled in one to me!
      I think I started riding in 2004. My Honda's only usually needed tires and oil changes, I actually worked on my vstar, and we will see if my current (dream) bike talks me into an Indian or back into a Honda

      @rethguals 2 роки тому +2

      I started on a second-hand 250cc cruiser that could barely hit 90, got sick of that after a few months and bought a brand new 650 because it's the biggest thing learner riders are limited to in Australia.
      I've come to the conclusion it's the perfect learner's bike, and there's no serious need to "upgrade" beyond it unless you're after a particular look/style (i.e., heavy cruisers or stylish naked bikes). On a learner-restricted 650, you can already filter to the front of traffic and leave everything in your dust as soon as the lights go green, hit 100km/h in a matter of seconds and maintain it for hours, and do quick bursts far beyond that to overtake trucks or whatever. If you can't even come close to making full use of a 650cc learner bike's full power without Vicpol impounding your bike, why buy the 1000cc version?

    I'm a semi scooter dude. I also have a 300cc cruiser that I share with my dad, but scooters are the best.
    I can drive it maxed out all day, carry a dead dog in the storage under the seat, have my 5 friends on the back and get 140 mpg.
    It also leans well enough before any parts start to scrape as scooters have better ground clearance.
    Scooters are the answer for practicality, budget and daily usability. You can buy one for the fraction of the cost of a bike and they normally weigh close to 200 pounds. You can also max it out in a month of use and do all sorts of speedy stuff without putting yourself in too much risk.
    Bikes may be fun to ride but the lightness (predominantly) of the scooters make them the most some of the most brilliant two wheeled motor cycles that you can get. And you'll have just as much fun on them as you would in a full blown liter bike.

You have your whole life to ride, why potential cut that riding life short just because you are too proud to get a smaller CC bike. Not to mention most people that say that couldn't ride that 300 worth shit and only ever went on long straight roads. Its always funny to see guys on 600 or 1000cc bikes get passed by little bikes cause they don't know how to ride windy roads.

      Yammie Noob you don’t exactly make new riders sound cool and could definitely discourage new riders ( research biker ) that are coming to the channel just because of the title of the video. 350cc scrub, something like that can definitely shift people into another direction and make them buy something they can’t handle. 600cc may be good but most bikes are at 600cc and ( this is my opinion ) 350cc is perfect for beginners. It’s not too fast nor slow. As long as you know how to work the bike, it shouldn’t matter what “cc” you have. I know you love making jokes about new riders but try and keep it a little more conservative when it comes to the guys who did their research.

    I never comment on videos but this was great. I’ve spent over 15 years pining over buying my first bike and convincing friends and family members how cautious and defensive I am when it comes to driving. I’ve spent countless hours, days, months, years doing research to find out what the best starter bike would be for someone like me (the researcher). I finally did it! I checked the web everyday for the MRSC classes to open up and booked one on March 20th, 2020. I made up my mind that a Ninja 400ABS would best suit me. I was so close I could taste it. I walked into the dealership on a rainy cold day in February to admire and price the bike I wanted. As I spoke with the salesman on my ZERO experience riding (aside from a 5 minute run on a Yamaha R6 that survived a garage fire...sketchy at best) He said well we have a great deal on this brand new 2019 Ninja 650ABS for $4500. I had him check the stock on both the 400 and 650 and guess what, only 2 of the 650 in stock. I told him there is no way I could get it home how much is delivery. “You buy it right now, I’ll deliver it for free”. How could I pass up this deal? Made some phone calls and pulled the trigger. I sat waiting for the bike and researching gear and mods for days! It finally arrived and now I’m supposed to sit here in 35 degree weather looking at it waiting for months for my safety course. I couldn’t wait. I took it out in the neighborhood until I could make it to the church parking lot to teach myself using knowledge of other riders and UA-cam videos! Needless to say I’ve put 200 miles on it and can’t wait until my course to really feel comfortable. This bike has tons of power (compared to the Chevy Cruze and Toyota Tacoma that I drive) and I love the feeling of riding. I guess I’m the Researcher and the 650 guy! Thanks for the video. Hope you all enjoyed my story and any advice for a new rider on a Ninja 650 would be greatly appreciated.

      @@mariomorales8187 if you don't mind me answering: I actually got myself the older version (ER6F from 2006, exact same engine, less features) 1.5 years ago.
      I really started out slow I would say. I enjoyed my bike, but for the first half a year where I would not ride it very often, never high RPM (just didn't feel right, when it got really loud I always put the next gear), and didn't use a lot of the potential of that bike.
      For the last 6 months I have been understanding more and more about bikes, what driving techniques there are, how to make some basic repairs, what to look out for etc etc and started riding a bit more with the idea of getting more comfortable with my bike. Also helps that I moved to Sardegna where the view from the roads is absolutely awesome.
      By now I'm not sure what my next type of bike is going to be. I don't feel like I really need more power, I rather want to experience a bike that isn't made for the street. But for my normal commutes and driving somewhere further away this bike is keeping me very happy and not so windy on the highway.
      I would buy it again (maybe with a TFT display this time).
      I hope you will be satisfied with whatever choice you make! 😊

    Thanks for the video. Good info. I’ve been building and riding restored vintage bikes for years. I bought my first modern bike last year. A Kawasaki Z900RS cafe. A fuel injected suicide machine. I gotta say, sometimes it scares the begeezus outta me. I give it a lot of respect. Even a punched out vintage bike has nothing on these modern bikes. Keep up the good work. 👍😁

For the past 6 months I have been doing nothing but watching moto youtube videos (your channel, motojitsu, dandanthefireman, fortnine, and 1,000,000 reviews of every retro bobber cafe racer scrambler type bike ever made from norton to ducati to triumph and royal enfield)...anyway I havent stopped smiling since I got my bike and threw on a yoshimura r77 full system exhaust...although I havent dropped it yet so well see, keep up the great work and super entertaining videos yammie!

    Been a biker for 30 years.

    Then I got a 1998 GSF600 Bandit.
    I t’s so much FUN and I love the street-fighter look.
    Yes, I know it’s slow & overweight. A modern 1L bike weights in under 200Kg, it weighs in at 400Kg.
    The gears are clunky, Round headlamp and no fairing, no fuel gauge, no gear indicator, no ABS...
    Oil cooled.
    Last time it was in for service I got lent a SV650. When I returned they asked me if I was interested in trading it in for something more modern, like the bike they lent me?
    NO. I want my Bandit back!

    Though underpowered, I really appreciate my 300cc bike. Teaches me so much and lets me slowly and safely hit higher levels before I move up. 5 months in and I'm starting to keep up with my liter bike buddies on the low speed twisties and my knee's getting really close to the asphalt. When I do get new or another bike (deciding if I wanna keep my 300 for city riding and new bike as weekend only) It'll be amazing and hopefully I won't wreck it. Already low sided my 300 once and though it hurts, it was only 2700 for basically brand new condition (previous owner rode it for less than 2 months and decided to trade it for something bigger).

    Im 21 years old, only really have experience riding groms and I just had one of my dream bikes gifted to me. its a 2007 triumph speed triple 1050 that has a blown motor. And its my first bike. Ive worked on and built cars my whole life, so I consider myself very mechanically inclined and respect any and every machine with with and engine. I feel like im doing this all wrong, and watching so many papa Yam videos over the years is solidifying it. Starting off with only experience on a 125cc, and soon to be jumping on a 1050 once I fix it. I dont have the budget unfortunately to buy another smaller bike to get more comfortable on. I've even thought about flipping the bike to then buy a more reasonable starter bike, but I cant bring myself to do that as its my dream bike and its a one owner bike owned by one of my best friends. plus apparently the bike has a lot of history in my area as it was a test bike while my friend worked for a local motorcycle parts manufacturer. I want to ride so badly, and this is my best option at the moment. the phrase, "riding to stay alive" really hits hard and is very discouraging at the moment though.
    I dont really expect to get any reaction out of this, its more of just a rant for myself to get my thoughts out...
