a lot of my initial learning was on a ninja 600, it was great to pass my test because of the tighter wheel base and is waaaaay better in the curves/turns
That's cool! I didn't know that. I got my endorsement through the MSF course on a DR200 duel sport.
All your points are spot on bro. Learn on a smaller bike for sure. I started on a 750 shadow, and after 37,000 miles, I was ready for something bigger, so I traded it in for my bagger. When you get my age, comfort is important. Good video Kode, always enjoy watching you.
37,000 miles!!! Wow! You definitely got your money's worth out of that bike!!
I appreciate the compliment man!!
I learned on a 2005 R6. I stopped riding for about 12 years and went with a 2017 Harley Forty Eight. I just installed my stage 1 with tune about 30 minutes ago.
I love it.
That's cool man! I'm going to have to get me a cruiser someday!
I agree, lighter and smaller bikes to start out. I've seen some guys not be able to lean their giant ass cruisers and end up in trouble.
I think people underestimate the weight of bikes.
I feel seen! :D
Some good advice there Kode. We (Australia) also have cc limitations on our learner riders
I thought you guys did. I wasn't sure if it is the same as the UK or not so I didn't want to get it wrong.
Some good points. Most styles of bikes have their pros and cons for learners. Here in australia, I reccomend a short wheel base and upright riding position style bike as it will help learners get through the licencing course.
I would recommend those kind of bikes myself. But there are people who are just going to skip what's best to learn on and go for the style they want. This video was kinda geared towards them.
Thanks Matt!!
Did like how you clarify that sport bikes aren't going to be what you and eventually want to be riding on don't start on one and I like how you clarified don't go out and get 1,000 or 600cc sportbike good advice all around
Should have started the video with ( Don't buy a 1000cc bike ) 😂.
@@KODEGREY 🤣🤣
When I was just starting out on motorcycles my grandad used to always say to me "you're not a proper biker until you've come off"🤣 so I know he loves that saying.
If you're scraping pegs on a sports bike, chances are you're crashing 🤣
Do we do it the smart way?🤣 the 125cc are so slow though😉
Great point mate, I'll tell you what is another good reason, most sport bikes use an in-line 4 stroke engine (especially if it is Japanese) they are all silky smooth which in my opinion can only help new riders when trying to get some confidence on two wheel rather than a thump v-twin.
Great video mate, keep up the good work
😂😂. Yes, scraping pegs on a sport bike usually means you're crashing! Or taking a sharp corner at 200 mph! 😂.
Yeah, people complain that inline fours are boring. But I love that silky smooth performance!
there's two types of riders in this world. Riders that have dropped their bike and Riders are that lying
😂😂. I see now that I have made a mistake by telling everyone I hate that phrase! I have a feeling I will be only getting these type of comments! 😂
I never dropped my bike. Not for the month I had it before someone pulled out in front of me on the highway and tried to lie to the cop.😢 I even stayed on the bike by stomping the ground and fell off after putting the kickstand down cause I couldn’t feel my leg
As someone who started on a cruiser I agree, I love my Harley to death but sportier bikes would have definitely helped the learning curve!!
I think starting out on my CB300 really helped me. Granted I didn't keep it very long, but I'm still glad I started on it.
@@KODEGREY I still ride the Harley I started out on but I feel like I would've appreciated it more if I had gotten the Suzuki GSX I was looking at (I don't remember exactly the model but it was like a 600 or 750 and it wasn't a gsxr but it had full fairings and was labeled as a good starter bike)
I started out on a Kawasaki 600 Ninja 🇺🇸👍👍👍 Nice video
That's cool! I started on a Honda CB300F.
Caveit to the UK laws.
I'm from here.
We have two ways to a full license:
1. get the restricted license and have it for 2 years - at which point you can do the full license.
2. direct access at 24.
Full license requires a road test and skills course and theory test.
All of the training material is on a 650cc bike. It forces a level of competence that many countries does not have, but I did want to comment just to say that we can get start on whatever, provided we are in the direct access route at 24 years of age + test.
That's right! I completely forgot about being able to buy anything once you're old enough.
I didn't know that you are required to test on a 650 though. That's a good idea!
Thanks for stopping by the channel man! Appreciate it!
@@KODEGREY it tends to just be what the test centers use a lot. SV650's is a very common choice.
No problem I wasn't sure what to expect from a small channel when it came into my recommended, but I have to say had I not seen the subscriber count I'd be convinced you did this for a living. Really good content mate!
@@mark-zr6ny Wow man!! That's a very nice compliment! Thanks you!! My sub count grows slowly cause my channel is in kind of a weird spot. I ride a sport bike but don't do crazy things on the road. So I don't appeal to the sport bike crowd much. I talk and cruise in my videos, but don't ride a cruiser, so I don't appeal to the Cruiser crowd much either! 😂.
Hard to grow this way I know, but it is what it is I guess! 🤷.
You’re making me want to jump on a Sport bike again
Try and see if you can find some test rides. ( Very difficult on a sport bike I know ) but you might be able to scratch that itch.
Or, and hear me out... you can be like me and ride slow enough that you don't ever scrape anything, and have plenty of lean angle left over for evasive maneuvers. :D Great points though, I dig it!
That's the most safety minded answer I've heard so far!! 😂
@@KODEGREY Well... it's half safety and half a lack of riding skill. To be fair, I rode the Back of the Dragon this past weekend, and in the pics... I am more upright than the trikes. LOTS of room for error, of which I make many.
I think a new rider should start on a small dirt bike to get the hang of it. In Aus there are power limitation for the learner rider, know as LAMS bike, Learner Approved MotorcycleS. I also this a rider should not get a bike that they can not lift back up off the ground. Good advise from your vid there, Kode. Ride well. Cheers
A small dirt bike is definitely the safest option. Unfortunately not a lot of public places to ride them around here.
Strange idea in these parts to be learning on a cruiser. Generally it's 600cc nakeds that you see here. I think they'r a great choice because you've got all those things you say, weight, lean angle, agility plus the benefit of fewer plastics to break. In the UK 600cc is chosen because you have to pass on one if you want to ride anything with more than 46hp.
The 125cc thing isn't quite right. You can do basic training (CBT) for a few hours then ride one on the road. Once you have a CBT, if you are aged at least 24, you can then start your lessons on that 600.
Learning on a cruiser over here is a VERY common thing. Actually most of the bikes in our MSF courses are cruisers.
I completely forgot about the age thing when I made this video! But I didn't know about the 600cc part at all. That's actually a good way to get a real idea of someone's skill if they are just going to test at 24.
You were on same time as the pro Monkeys 👍👍🤙
Oops!! Maybe change my time a bit next week.
@@KODEGREY 19:30 730pm better
You have nailed it buddy, weight, agility, ground clearance. Too heavy can’t turn and no lean angle are the main problems for new riders. Totally on the money. You can’t fly a passenger jet until you start out on a signal prop piston plane eh!
Something like a Ninja 400 is a top place to start on a first bike I feel. I a new rider is sitting on one of them as a first bike I would consider them to be wise in choice and bike around that size and capacity are ideal for new riders, enough power plenty of height from the ground and turn like a UFO.
Ahh yes!! The Ninja 400 is a perfect beginner bike! Everyone seems to love them. And it would be fun for a long time as well.
I wrecked my cruiser 2 months after getting it as a new rider. Getting a sport bike next. It was an 1100 Honda shadow too big too heavy and I went around a corner too fast and wrecked
Oh man that sucks!! Hopefully you didn't get too hurt from it!
Sport Bikes turn on a dime. I know it has saved me a few times!!
I appreciate you stopping by the channel man!! And sorry for the really late reply, RUclips notifications suck!
I would love to learn to ride. The only thing is I'm not sure where to even start because I'm only 5'3". I see a lot of bikes that I can't ride because I'm so short. I don't really have a preference of bikes because I like both sports and cruisers. What would you suggest for short people? lol
It's true that sport bikes usually have higher seats than standard bikes. Cruisers usually have the lowest. The Honda Rebel my wife rides has a very low seat height. She's barely 5' 1" and she can easily put both feet down.
So what about option number 3 for bike types... Just throw us adv bikers out the window why don't you... LOL... J/P It wasn't until I got my 93 non-american Africa Twin and reading about problems, maintenance, etc on that bike that I learned about the rules of learning to ride over in europe. It is interesting that on my bike to get them to the "lower" standard they put a piece of rubber in the intake to restrict it from full power. Anyways all are definitely valid points. There are times I wish I had a sport bike to ride so I could get better at leaning the bike in turns.
Haha. Sorry, didn't mean to leave anyone out! This video was more for those people that are going to pick a bike they like no matter what. Not necessarily the best bike to learn on.
👋👋👋👍🍺
I honestly think every motorcyclist who is physically capable should start riding a dirt bike off road before riding on the road at all. I don't agree riding a Sports bike is the best choice for a first bike. I don't think a cruiser is either. Just a normal bike.
I agree about the dirt bike thing. In a way I wish I started that way. But unfortunately where I live, if I want to get a dirt bike, I would have to get a trailer along with the bike. And hope I could find some place to ride it. Riding on someone's property over here without permission is a really bad idea!!
Also agree about the normal bike too. But this is more for those people dead set on getting either a sport bike or a cruiser.
Thanks Chewie!!
@@KODEGREY you might get shot if you rode on private property
There are only two kinds of motorcyclists. Those that have been down and those that are going down.
Yep! I've heard that one a lot too!!
