Just so everyone knows, when this guy says "dual sports", he actually means a 12 k$ Ducati Desert Sled, you know, the typical beginner's bike for biscotti lovers.
I've been riding a KLX250 as my daily commute and weekend hooligan for over 4 yrs and you can't wipe the smile off my face every time I swing my leg over the seat.
Chase without downgrading any of your other videos, this is one of the best one you've made (quality, information, entertainment, ect.). I'm looking into getting another bite since I sold my super sport and I think you just pulled the trigger on the decision that I need to make. Keep up the good work homie. Everyone RIDE Safe
Coming at you guys with another Here's Why episode! Let us know what you think. Are Dualsports the best bikes to start on? Also, let's play find the J.
Bigrst Beast can’t go wrong with an MT-03. It’s basically the naked version of an R3. Rock solid design, reliable & fun. I’ve had an R3 for about a month now and I love it. I feel the MT-03 would be just a little more comfortable... Good luck!!! 😊
I’m 5’7 with 31 inch seam and beginner rider looking to buy dualsports bike all of dualsports bike seat are height what you would recommend this video is awesome.
I used to own a drz400sm, been throw around the corner and learned wheelies on this machine. I swear dual sport is the best to start with, you don't need to worry about frame damage and easy to pick up even when dropped. It is the best bike to learn the basic/advanced control of the bike.
Wow I can't believe the timing of this video! I am just about to buy a DR200... been trying to decide between it and a DR650 but I think I like the DR200 more. Great video man I love this. I am a new rider and I learned on a DR200 in my MSF class. I always thought of myself as more of a sport bike rider and maybe I still am but I was surprised how much fun I had on the DR200. I just bought a brand new Ninja 650 ABS and now I think I'll buy a new DR200 this week. Thanks for the content I really enjoyed it.
To be totally honest, If you are looking for a DR200 or a DR650 don't waste your time and money. Get a DRZ 400S. You'll thank me later. Edit...I just saw that this post was from a year ago. Nevermind.
DR650's make great first bikes. It is what i ended up with as a first bike (quite by accident actually). Excellent on road characteristics. Excellent capabilities offroad. Amazing fun to tinker on. I dropped my 650 now 4 times, no damage. A bit on the heavy side for a first bike maybe... but, has longevity in any direction you want to go. A few upgrades and its fast and responsive. A few more and you have an excellent suspension for on /off road. Throw on some trailmax missions and you are just one happy camper. Throw on a wind screen and you have a tourer. Yea, DR650 is the ultimate Unicorn bike.
Yeah, I bought a dual sport second bike for guests, maybe my grand son. Looks like a first bike perfect choice. Yes you can drop it without damage (Very Important for beginners!) but clearly sub standard for parking lot SloMo maneuvering and counter steering practice. DSport Tires are unstable in a lean, and the compound doesn't grip pavement well. All over the place. Constantly correcting during a long curve. I had to switch to street tires (Keeping stock wheel sizes) for stability. Turns out Warning Signs and threats of prosecution have curtailed my exploration of the Power Line right of way around here.
I’ve been watching you and yummi back then and it looks like a sht ton of fun! Just got my WR today and im loving it! Thanks chase! Love the quality of your videos! Its great to see you grow over the years
Agreed, I started with 0 experience, picked up a 200cc dual sport and have been beating it into the ground ever since, lost track of how many drops it's had, but I remember it took me 58 miles to drop it the first time, absolutely zero regrets with going with a dual sport as a first bike
I've got back on two wheels on a small 125, but I'm not sure if whant to step up further... The bike already seems like a dual sport, with more street mods, to make it look like a naked, but i really don't enjoy riding on the streets. I always pick the most broken street and even go off-road with those street plastic tires! I've already risen it up a couple of inches because I've found out that the rear shock have a much longer travel, with absurdly preloaded springs, so I've modded everything. All is missing is a front fender, dual sport type and good tires. This video really opened my eyes!
I'm taking my beginner classes next week, so my buddy thought it was a good idea to have me try out his brother's 500cc ktm dual sport. It was fun, but I don't have very good throttle control, I accidently lifted the front end a few inches XD
I said it once and I'd say it again. Been a subscriber ever since your first videos. And let me tell ya, The quality of the vids look so top notch, I don't even realize that im just watching a youtube video, and not actually in the scene itself 🤣😎
My MSF course put me on a TW200 and I fell in love, but dealers didn’t have any TWs (and used prices are ridiculous) so I ended up with a KLX230. Definitely recommend for a new rider. Mine is the S model with the factory lowered suspension.
Why do people keep skipping over the Yamaha xt250. Lighter, lower, super reliable, more fuel capacity, trials like turning radius and tough as nails. We love them.
People think their slow and unstable, but actually when you get used to them their pretty quick and agile. Just not fast, but i let it ripped on the trail and its always fun pinning it without fear
@chaseontwowheels I've been through few Sport bikes and tried a lot too in demo rides, because it's just my flavor. I own a Zx10RR 2018 right now and I'm considering switching it for a Supermoto next. Probably a KTM 690 or a Husqvarna 701 due to my flavor of speeding lol. I think not only beginners, but every riders out there should consider at least giving it a try. Motorcycle isn't only about speeding and being cool... It's about having fun ! CHEAH ! 👌
# 2019 Suzuki dr650. Trying to Keep the best bang for buck 650 dualsport alive. I recommend every man, woman, and child own a light, non expensive dualsport motorbike with long maintenance intervals.
Get a moped... you would be surprised how much fun you can have going 25-30 mph on a moped! A real moped can do light off road too. I drove my dad's 1977 Puch Maxi moped when I was 15 and man it was a blast
I was thinking of getting the Suzy 400 SM (maybe a Kawa KLR 650) for communiting and occassional 100-120 miles trip ... But I afraid of their older tech (keep in mind it will be stored for 5 months of winter)
Eric D. I love my klr650 Just run ethanol free gas and she will run til the end of time. No matter how long she sits. That or just run it out of gas completely before storing for the winter
Oh my, the talk I say to any beginner... In the beginning anything you really need to learn, you can learn in the soft dirt on a cheap Chinese pitbike with knobbies. Then I think my wife will step up to our Zero.
Alright guys, I need some advice from both experience and short motorcycle riders. I've been watching Chase for 6 months even though I was subscribed to him for 3 years. Anyways, I've become interested in riding, but I fear that there aren't any good bikes for me to use. I'm 5'4" ( very short, I know) and most likely done growing, so I want to know what bikes would be great for short, new riders?
yeah these bikes are bad on the highway until there's construction or traffic jam lane spliting and shoulder riding or just doubling slow drivers on bad road is soo rewarding
Reasons I'll probably get a dual sport as my first bike: More forgiving,droppable, getting used to the feeling of losing traction, and lighter, It's gonna be my first vehicle so as a commuter it's a good option. Pricing is important: while already gonna spend 1k on gear getting a cheaper few k beginner dual sport is a good option, I can get into motorcycle sooner, learn and grow, gain confidence and experience riding without waiting longer to save up bc the bike I want that re 6-9k, insurance tends to me cheaper to and in a year or two I can get the bike I want- I probably won't sell my dual either bc ik I'm gonna have fun on it, considering I love nature and I bicycle almost daily and love off trail courses so the off road capability is one of multiple reasons I think picking a dual sport is gonna be my go to
I’m a beginner street rider, with a little dirt experience. I ride with my dad on a Sporty 1200 and I love it, but I really want a DR650 for my first bike. I’m just a little intimidated by the height. I’m sitting at 5’10
I’m the same height. They are a little tall but once you get your weight on them then sink down. Find one and sit in it at a dealership and you’ll see what I mean.
3:18 I WISH I could pick up my CRF250L like that. I’ve had several friends try and no one can even get it neatly on a stand. 320lbs is heavy af to do dirt bike things. Doable for sure, but heavy
I take it that a 250cc is the best general purpose dual sport? My cousin used to have a Suzuki DR650. I was about 16, and I remember thinking it was awfully big for a "dirt bike" (that's what it looked like to me) Anyway, here I am and I wanna start riding. I don't wanna give my age, but I'm neither old nor young at this point. This will be the 1st time I've ridden a motorcycle since I was a teenager. I am 6'0 and about 225. What displacement would y'all recommend for me? Not worried about super speed. 70ish is fine. Actually don't want too powerful a bike. I might take a 5-6 hour trip once I gain some experience, but that'll be as far as I'll ever go. I am blessed that I live within 2-3 hours of a lot of good riding.
Here watching 8 months later bc I’m wanting to get CRF250L bc it’s now 2021 gas prices and almost $3 and I’ve always wanted bike other than the 90 I had as a kid, plus my truck gets 13mpg so I’m spend abt $100 a week in gas
In the vein of 250cc dual sports, would be interested in your opinion (and Brian’s) of the cheaper Chinese 250’s such as the CSC TT250 or those available on Amazon.
Deciding to get a dual sport was the easy part now it’s time to figure out which one to get I’m deciding between a WR250 CRF 450 and a klx 250 any suggestions??
I think everyone needs a dual sport regardless of skill level. They're a world of their own.
Goddamit
Other than seat height, I firmly agree. Drop em, slide em, jump em: Dual Sports are rad.
Papa Yam's comment on a Chase video
Nobody:
Me : that's so wholesome
Stfu you don't know shit turbo busa for life bitch
Just so everyone knows, when this guy says "dual sports", he actually means a 12 k$ Ducati Desert Sled, you know, the typical beginner's bike for biscotti lovers.
Then put supermoto wheels and tires on it and that lowers the seat height quite a bit
Why not just cut out the middle man and find a supermoto bike? Are they hard to find or expensive?
I've been riding a KLX250 as my daily commute and weekend hooligan for over 4 yrs and you can't wipe the smile off my face every time I swing my leg over the seat.

J at the very end... Wait for it!
I’m getting in to motorcycles and I want to know if you would recommend the MT-03 for a beginner or if you would recommend a different bike? Thanks!
Bigrst Beast can’t go wrong with an MT-03. It’s basically the naked version of an R3. Rock solid design, reliable & fun. I’ve had an R3 for about a month now and I love it. I feel the MT-03 would be just a little more comfortable... Good luck!!! 😊

Skills you learn playing in the dirt, will pay off on a street bike. I started on a dual-sport and I'm glad I did.
I used to own a drz400sm, been throw around the corner and learned wheelies on this machine. I swear dual sport is the best to start with, you don't need to worry about frame damage and easy to pick up even when dropped. It is the best bike to learn the basic/advanced control of the bike.
Once you dual sport, you always sport the dual. Subbed!
Yeahhh 🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💚

Been subbed to this channel for ages, ain't seen what you actually look like til tonight...almost exactly what I expected!
The trusty bulletproof Yamaha TW-200 was my first bike. Totally agree that dual-sports are a great starter bike
XT225 was mine! Had a blast on it (and my buddy’s TDub)!
Just recently picked up a 2020 Kawasaki KLX 230 dual sport. It was a good choice, having been out of riding for 6 years!
Been debating on a sport bike or a supermoto. This video honestly pulls me into the supermoto world.
Go supermoto, you won't regret it.
Cory right after this video I start seeking Facebook marketplace for different ones around me. There’s a ton, they’re all super clean as well👀
The transition was EPIC!
Really good photography here. Sound is solid and good points about DS bikes

That grey color though!
This video is sick. Solidified my choice to get a nice dual sport. Looking at used drz400, husqvarna te450, or klx in my area.

dual sport is the best AND bike , you have one AND another. i will never not have a dr650 in my stable even if they stop making em

Looks like Master Chief riding down the road.
Reasons I'll probably get a dual sport as my first bike:
More forgiving,droppable, getting used to the feeling of losing traction, and lighter,
It's gonna be my first vehicle so as a commuter it's a good option.
Pricing is important: while already gonna spend 1k on gear getting a cheaper few k beginner dual sport is a good option, I can get into motorcycle sooner, learn and grow, gain confidence and experience riding without waiting longer to save up bc the bike I want that re 6-9k, insurance tends to me cheaper to and in a year or two I can get the bike I want- I probably won't sell my dual either bc ik I'm gonna have fun on it, considering I love nature and I bicycle almost daily and love off trail courses so the off road capability is one of multiple reasons I think picking a dual sport is gonna be my go to

first bike was a drz400sm, still the only bike i havent sold
I agree. It wasn't my first but it will always be in the stables.
I absolutely love my xt250
Would you consider a DRZ400 to a beginner?
this production crazy
so if i put bigger wheels and knobby tire on a supermoto it becomes a dualsport?
You forgot KTM, the King and role model of dualsports
What qualities as a beginner bike??
11:42 thought it was a secret message... turns out it was a secret message from the matrix.
thats not text
