When a bike is easy to control, you have more confidence to push harder. Its not really about being able to “ride” but being able to have total control.
Couldn’t agree more! Starting on a big cc motorcycle can be risky. Respect to CycleCruza for spreading awareness, and gotta love that Busa thumbnail! Sending love and admiration from Miami, Florida! 🏍️💨
People need to stop spreading info making it seem as if that you can only get injured or die on liter bikes or big cruisers. You can get hurt on any bike if you don't know what you're doing or respecting it. You have to buy the bike that's best for you. You know your maturity level and experience best. I know several people, male and female, whose first bikes were large cruisers or 600CC+ sports bikes and they had no issues. I've also seen people get seriously injured on scooters and low CC bikes. Buy the bike YOU want.
@@rich075 no they absolutely do. A lot of it can be mitigated by getting the right bike for your individual self. I'm talking about when I first started learning to ride.
I remember the salesman that sold me my ‘next’ bike after my starter bike. He told me about three different people that bought superbikes and crashed pulling out of the dealership right after they bought them.
Started last yr on a dr650 and gotta say it truly is confidence inspiring. Lighweight but enough power to learn on. I initially wanted a cruiser but after riding this am now leaning towards a naked sport bike next so it's a good place to start to find out what style of bike you really want. At the end of the day just commit and buy a bike cuz you'll end up wanting another in the future anyways
I like the way you can get your motorcycles in Europe, when you are 16 you can get up to 50cc or 125cc, then when you are 18 you will be able to drive up to 48hp and then when you reach 21 you get the unlimited cc
"You will want to try something different than your first bike even if it's a supersport" - HEAR, PEOPLE! These are some real words of wisdom. Don't get obsessed with a demanding bike as your first bike. You will get there.
I own a new MT-07 and I agree that it can be a slightly dangerous bike for a new rider (especially if young). I come from a 2-stoke enduro with 3 years experience and that has helped me not be surprised by the power.
Its mad you can get any bike without any testing etc, I`m in UK, have a full licence now, but still made the mistake when I got my full licence, I got a Suzuki SV650 - still too much power, wrote it off within a month & boke 4 bones, then got a Yamaha R3 = the best thing ever - had that for a couple of years & got my skills up (but it was stolen) now have a Suzuki SFV650 Gladius (def not a girls bike, lol). You are so right GRUNT much better than HP. Love the channel - keep it up - No F`ed up days!
On the flip side, I feel like starting on mini bikes like a Grom or Z125 are good to learn the basics on but they can teach bad habits because they're a little too forgiving. They make a great second bike in the garage but I wouldn't recommend one as a first bike.
You can't point people to these tiny add 250/300's that have like umpteen/20 horsepower. They'll be ready for a bigger bike before they pay it off. start with off road riding. That makes you the best you can be. Everyone including myself started on dirt bikes. All of us still here here.
I ride my 50th anniversary Busa: As an 50 year old. If I were young I would’ve gotten the Yammie R1 to impress To cruise around on primarily. Not to commute. I would’ve bought a Yammie R7 or MT-07 for that. Only on nice weather days. Never highway roads. You wanna ruin that new finish on your bikes fairings. Highway debris at 70 mph is a good way to do it. OEM fairings on all current bikes now are EXPENSIVE. 50th Anniversary Busa fairings are FERRARI expensive. Through backcountry roads and neighborhoods. Neighborhoods are good for practicing maneuver skills that I take for granted in a car. Especially with a heavier bike. I can imagine different scenarios. Including emergency braking in puddles of water, engine braking down steep hills instead of the front brakes. Never downtown city streets, only on weekend mornings before 9 am. It’s too risky. Birmingham, AL like L.A. freeways is full of stupid drivers in a hurry to get anywhere. I park my Busa in the house as a showcase. When people see it, Orange and Black with the 50th anniversary emblem on it they understand. Can’t stop smiling about it. My future plan is riding this bike on the track of the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum.
I friend of mine thought it would be a good idea after passing his msf course at the age of 60. To buy a brand new Harley Electra fully dressed as his first bike
Cycle cruza is a good role model. He always wears his gear. He’s rarely wreckless and when he is it’s within reason. Beginners should listen to Cycle cruza
Mostly I started out riding on a Harley Davidson Sprint in 1976 and now I am riding a 2007 Piaggio mp3 250 IE with driving license and now Texas law changes they saying need M license to a scooter! Cycle Cruza 💯
Down here (Brazil) I was planning to move into another state, here, any bike will get you killed. Besides the bad drivers, and the awful smooth Mars surface asphalt, really, they will simply kill you to steal your bike. But yesterday I saw a video explaining that an MT03 could be even worst then the MT07! 07 is a true Master of Torque - 03 it wold be a master of Power. The engine derives more the racing bikes then the torque ones. It has a little more power in a small engine, matching the MT07!
In the UK if you are 24+ you can ride any cc after passing your test. Younger riders can hold a full licence (21) but you need to have held a lower class licence restricting you to 47 BHP for 2 years. The aim is to restrict power until you are mature enough to control it. Ironically, a 19 year can ride a Busa, but it has to be restricted to 47 BHP. Not many youngsters are going to ride a restricted Sportsbike. I passed my test in my 40s I rode a CBR1000RR and then onto a ZZR1400 I respected their power and restricted the use of the throttle whilst getting used to riding larger machines. Incidentally, the Hayabusa and ZZR1400 are very safe motorcycles. Personally, i find larger bikes are easier to ride due to their longer wheelbase.
Meow I know the message is not for me, but the only reason why I started small is because of my financial position, being poor! I started on a KYMCO 150 scoot scoot for a year and half, than I got a Honda cb300f for the next couple of years, and meow I'm on my Honda cb500f. I wanted a Yamaha MT09 at the start all because the power to carry my 380Ib butt around and to be quick aboot at the lights. People told me to get a Harley to fit my body profile. I don't like a heavy wide bike. I like sporty slim naked bikes that I can park anywhere I want. Someday I will get it, but for meow my little cb500f is holding me down till I can get my dream bike. I love riding. I love motorsickles.
Best motorcycle 🏍 to start on is hands down the Kawasaki Ninja 400 or Z400. It has enough power you won't get bored riding it after just a few months and you'll be able to stick with it longer. You'll build a solid foundation for riding and be well capable of handling a more powerful bike. Bonus is the Ninja 400 or Z400 will hold it's resale value.
The Ninja 400 or Z400 is the gold standard for noobs. They are great for everybody, even seasoned riders. The MT-03 is a cool little bike too. There are a lot of cool small bikes to choose from these days. When I started I they all they really had was the Honda rebel 250, ninja 250 and cbr250r. lol The small bikes they have now are so much better.
No such thing as a "beginers bike" CycleCruza started on a 750 cc. Self taught. Got my endorsement years later to be legal. But those classes are a joke. Self taught baby 😂😂😂
I’d say older 600’s like the bandit 600, fz6, or even the Honda hornet 919 make pretty good beginner bikes, they don’t make that much power and all of those bikes don’t rev crazy high like a modern 600
I started on a mt07 after the msf but honestly it’s just because of the price. Paid less than if i went with a ninja 400. My experience has been great though, I started off just short shifting and riding around the neighborhood for days. I also think it’s important to mention i passed the msf with a perfect score and the mt-07 still scared the absolute horse💩 out of me for a long time 😂. If I could do it again I’d probably just get an r3, there’s no reason for a beginner to have the low end torque.
650 class bikes are decent beginner bikes for older more mature riders. 800-1200cc for beginner cruisers. That way you can grow into it without it getting away from you. People dont want a $6000 beginner bike when they can get an intermediate one for $9000.
I think this question is a joke but in case it's not here is the answer: There is no such a bike. A beginner should NOT be riding two up. After a few years? That's a different story.
It's your self control (1-10) times throttle input (max CC of the bike) plus group riders divided by years riding equals X. If X is higher than your IQ (anomaly's added or multiplied for road hazards) your probability in for an F'd up day is imminent. 😅
With riding modes on quite a few bikes, ur thumbnail being one of them, ppl these days may begin on any bike they wish. I started on a CBR 600F3. I passed my MSF course the first time, as many do. I truly believe God has a way of letting u know if riding a motorcycle was in his vision, of ur life. I wanted a motorcycle from the time I was 8 yrs old. A couple of friends, who r brothers, had mini bikes and I wanted one desperately. Didn’t happen until I was 34 yrs old. Purchase whatever motorcycle u want, God will let u know - make sure ur listening.
No such thing as a "beginners bike" I started on a 750 cc and I didn't get my endorsement until years later- self taught. I just got it to be legal. The rest I learned on my own 😂😂😂 those classes are a joke 😂😂

Eveyones knows a turbo Hayabusa is the best beginner bike or a chopper 😅
🤣
@@CycleCruzaI ridden dirt bikes for 24 years what’s a good first bike to start on?
It can also serve as your LAST bike.
My 2024 Busa is my first and only bike since graduating from the MSF class.
If you've never ridden any bike ever,then whiskey throttle time is a happenin!🤣🤣🤣😱😱😱

I passed my test in my 40s I rode a CBR1000RR and then onto a ZZR1400 I respected their power and restricted the use of the throttle whilst getting used to riding larger machines. Incidentally, the Hayabusa and ZZR1400 are very safe motorcycles. Personally, i find larger bikes are easier to ride due to their longer wheelbase.
Awesome video. New riders head this advice!
I started on a HD 883. Perfect bike to learn on or keep forever
ALWAYS GOOD ADVICE, MY MOTORCYCLE IS 125 CC WITH 8.5 HP I NICKNAME IT THE BEAST GRRR!!! TOO MUCH POWER
You can throw around and rip those little bikes around town. Fun lil bikes. I love them.
Meow I know the message is not for me, but the only reason why I started small is because of my financial position, being poor! I started on a KYMCO 150 scoot scoot for a year and half, than I got a Honda cb300f for the next couple of years, and meow I'm on my Honda cb500f. I wanted a Yamaha MT09 at the start all because the power to carry my 380Ib butt around and to be quick aboot at the lights. People told me to get a Harley to fit my body profile. I don't like a heavy wide bike. I like sporty slim naked bikes that I can park anywhere I want. Someday I will get it, but for meow my little cb500f is holding me down till I can get my dream bike. I love riding. I love motorsickles.
What about a Suzuki Drz400 sm??? And whats your thoughts on yz250s and 450s???
Mt07 is kind of a beginner bike. I started on a Ktm smcr 690, quickly moved up
To a street fighter v4
You know what it really is? People don’t want to catch heat, and be ball busted by their friends. Pride
Best motorcycle 🏍 to start on is hands down the Kawasaki Ninja 400 or Z400. It has enough power you won't get bored riding it after just a few months and you'll be able to stick with it longer. You'll build a solid foundation for riding and be well capable of handling a more powerful bike. Bonus is the Ninja 400 or Z400 will hold it's resale value.
The Ninja 400 or Z400 is the gold standard for noobs. They are great for everybody, even seasoned riders. The MT-03 is a cool little bike too. There are a lot of cool small bikes to choose from these days. When I started I they all they really had was the Honda rebel 250, ninja 250 and cbr250r. lol The small bikes they have now are so much better.
No such thing as a "beginers bike" CycleCruza started on a 750 cc. Self taught. Got my endorsement years later to be legal. But those classes are a joke. Self taught baby 😂😂😂
Would the Husky 701 be a good first bike if I took the MSF class?
The 701 is a beast
I’d say older 600’s like the bandit 600, fz6, or even the Honda hornet 919 make pretty good beginner bikes, they don’t make that much power and all of those bikes don’t rev crazy high like a modern 600
I started on a mt07 after the msf but honestly it’s just because of the price. Paid less than if i went with a ninja 400. My experience has been great though, I started off just short shifting and riding around the neighborhood for days. I also think it’s important to mention i passed the msf with a perfect score and the mt-07 still scared the absolute horse💩 out of me for a long time 😂. If I could do it again I’d probably just get an r3, there’s no reason for a beginner to have the low end torque.
I passed it with and started on a MT-07 as well
650 class bikes are decent beginner bikes for older more mature riders. 800-1200cc for beginner cruisers. That way you can grow into it without it getting away from you. People dont want a $6000 beginner bike when they can get an intermediate one for $9000.
A descent choice is a chopper with monkey bar handle obviously 😂
My first bike Yamaha midnight maximum 650 great bike I respected it's power bought it 1985 Euclid OH good in the city
What's a good beginner bike for 2 up?
I think this question is a joke but in case it's not here is the answer:
There is no such a bike. A beginner should NOT be riding two up.
After a few years? That's a different story.
😂😂😂
What about a Daytona 660 or 675
It's your self control (1-10) times throttle input (max CC of the bike) plus group riders divided by years riding equals X. If X is higher than your IQ (anomaly's added or multiplied for road hazards) your probability in for an F'd up day is imminent. 😅
if you are tall sometimes a adv is all you can look at getting like a g310gs is a good starter for a tall person
The best beginner bike is sv650 hands down
Which is very similar to the original H2.
Squids gonna squid.
Z650 is a more mild mannered, less powerful 650 class in my opinion. However, I think people need to start on a 400 or thereabouts.
A dual sport is the best to learn on,125 to 400cc
I started on a Harley iron 883
Pretty much any 300 would be ok, TW200 is nice, start off-road with it.
❤
Cc hurry up and go get that new chooojuki de800
Also go take the msf. You keep telling but u have not partooken
I'll take my chances on hot bike
With riding modes on quite a few bikes, ur thumbnail being one of them, ppl these days may begin on any bike they wish.
I started on a CBR 600F3.
I passed my MSF course the first time, as many do.
I truly believe God has a way of letting u know if riding a motorcycle was in his vision, of ur life.
I wanted a motorcycle from the time I was 8 yrs old.
A couple of friends, who r brothers, had mini bikes and I wanted one desperately.
Didn’t happen until I was 34 yrs old.
Purchase whatever motorcycle u want, God will let u know - make sure ur listening.
Any full dresser HD is a great beginner bike because they are under powered and won't get you in trouble.
No such thing as a "beginners bike" I started on a 750 cc and I didn't get my endorsement until years later- self taught. I just got it to be legal. The rest I learned on my own 😂😂😂 those classes are a joke 😂😂
A Gixxer 750 is a horrible beginner bike your too busy trying to understand how to ride than underderstanding the powerband.
