So he has experience with dirt bikes. Why did the dude say it's his first time on a bike. Of course he learned to ride in 15 mins. Just the differences between a bike and a dirt bike.
rex1030 He has ridden a 50cc dirt bike when he was 14 years old.
PwnsJones You are a good teacher. I am thinking of buying a bike here in china, not many teachers around. Thanks for the video.
+rex1030 If you have ridden a dirt bike you have never been on an actual bike since bikes are more known for Sports bikes and if you go on that with dirt bike knowledge then you will crash first time riding it
+PwnsJones I think that makes it easier to ride a bike but by no means is it exactly the same. He was immediately able to turn and looked more confident than most I have ever seen at a course, except those that rode dirt bikes. You are a good teacher. Would be great to see a total beginner who has never ridden a bike of any kind.
+lcicenine In countries like China, most of those videos you see are from user error since as she/he stated there are not many teachers around.
Lots of uneducated vehicle operators + not great road signage/safety = lots of crashes.
newbies have got to stop looking at their hands and feet when they get going after a stop, get those eyes up and look ahead and where your going, you don't have to look down to watch your foot shift. keep riding
I just bought a Ninja 300 today and already, after 10 minutes of riding around my neighborhood, I'm getting so good at it. First time on a motorcycle. Never rode a dirtbike. It is way easier than I thought it would be. The only thing I'm making mistakes at is rev matching on the downshifts but I will get the hang of it by tomorrow lol.
R u still alive buddy? :(
Emre damn... rip
@@u-l-t-i is he die 4real?
@RedEyeOfJupiter 2121 yes he long gone, truck drifted into his lane and crushed him
@@sifisomasina1164 no he is not he is subscribed to a channel that was made only a year ago
can't wait to get a bike
Mad Damsel I'm taking the msf course next month, can't wait
what happened man
did you get it yet ?
I got the same 250 as he got, i think.
I got the 2012 ninja 250r.
Its very good.
Never went to fifth and sixth gear because the road arent long and gear 2 is 100 kmh, heh.
Can't wait either
I'm 43 and I just got my first bike! it's an 03 ninja 250...💯😊✊👍
Awesome teacher.
Dude is a gr8 teacher. He doesn't discourage him when he screws up. Pushes him to do better. Gr8 stuff.
Great video perfect teaching
thank you
+Michael Murphy Perfect teaching? MAN my grandma does a wheelie on her first day. riding a motorcycle for the first time is not rocket science BRO I'm serious.
John Deer lol...i been riding
Firstchoice Lastchoice i took the course already bee riding for years lol
This gives me inspiration🙏🏾. Mom won't endorse my basic riding course, but I turn 18 in April and spring term ends April 28th so I'm going to get my motorcycle license in May and I cannot wait!!!
_ Ramz what did you get
hey did you end up getting the bike? do you still ride?
I'm curious about that too.
Yo did you ever get the license?
Did you get a bike?
Did you ride?
Did your mother tell you no again
@@duanerackham9567 I'm 53 and my mother still tells me No. LOL It's just a mom thing. I have ridden a 38 mph ebike for 11 years and am just now about to get a Ninja 250 Or a scooter with automatic transmission.. haven't decided yet.
Nice u-turns in the first 10 minutes of riding! Also, he's got a great sense of where he should be looking when doing his faster turns. Usually those are the two biggest issues with my new riders in class, so he's a natural!
I learned to ride for the first time on an 04 ninja 250 named Tsubaki that i bought from a shady craiglist guy i met in a walmart parkinglot. I bought the bike and learned to ride while i drove it home an hour away on the interstate. Was completely terrifying and exilerating at the same time. It was instant love. Now i ride Tsubaki every day for the past 5 weeks even though it's barely above freezing here right now in the day. LIVE TO RIDE-RIDE TO LIVE!
Shadow NinjaRider should I buy a 250 and ride it home 1.5 hours if I've never ridden? 😂😂
I rode my first motorcycle almost 20 minutes after watching this video, I thought it would be alot Harder. Sharp turn still get me. But I purchased a '14 ninja 300
Cherryhitman my first will be a bandit, bcs fuck you :p edit! already have my bandit 600S @ 80whp xD
Wub-0-Tronic Oil or watercooled? (Or if you don't know: what year?)
Atl essa 2003 tuned xD
Atl essa Your mom is oil cooled!!!
onhawaii
You mixed something up. As much as I love my Bandit, she's not my mother.
some people wouldnt mind the constant stream of info hes trying to impart on him, but that approach isnt th ebest generally. Let the dude get a feel for the bike first. Dont immediately start asking him to do small trivial maneuvers. The guy handled it well but next time id let the person get comfortable with learning and riding for a few minutes.
i feel like alot of the learning curve on bikes is just operating a manual gearbox. if you already know how to do that its just learning how to do it with a hand lever and foot gear selector. I want to learn how to ride and the other day went to a motorsport dealership to sit on some bikes and the first thing i noticed, which I didnt expect was the sheer size of these 'little' sportbikes. I could touch the ground just fine but was just surprised by how big of vehicles they are to actually sit on
John Doe As counter-intuitive as it sounds, operating a manual gearbox is one of the easiest parts of operating a motorcycle, especially (as you mentioned) if you've already driven a manual car. Slow speed maneuvers (tight u-turns, turns from a standstill, etc) constitute the bulk of the learning curve for new (and some older) riders. Once you've mastered the basics, proper throttle control and good leaning technique (counter-steering + weight shifting) become the main challenges.
dsp4 I agree. Where I live in Denmark we all drive manual gearboxes, both on bikes as well as in cars, there is really no huge market for automatic gearboxes. Learning how to shift on a bike is easy, you get it within the first hour of driving - it all comes down to cludge-controll and throttle at the beginning. As soon as your master the cludge you can make those small turns much easier and then - as you say - from there, it's all about leaning techniques. A lot of people I talk to think your steer a bike with the handlebar ;-)
I remember my first motorcycle lesson on such light bike. I thought it was so easy. Then on a second lesson i got normal motorcycle that weights a lot more. Dropped it in 10 minutes 😁. Weight matters a lot.
I gotta say, driving a manual trans car helped me a lot. I never sat on a bike in my life. But with a few hours of practice per day, by day 3 I felt good enough to go on the main streets at 35-40mph in traffic. Without any manual transmission experience it would take longer for sure. The shifting is what gets people, especially feathering the clutch.
Same here! I've always had sports cars, and manual shifting really helps your brain adjusts to the shifting on motorcycle bike. When I first took my lessons on a Honda Rebel, I thought the shifting would be a nightmare, but actually was easier than I thought. I'm hoping to get this Ninja next though.
I agree. I learning how to drive a car on a manual and it really is the same feel while on a bike. You are already keen to listening to the motor and transmission and how they are working together. Any bogging down or stuttering and you know something has to change. Glad my mom made me learn on a manual transmission. Thought it was a lost art until i got a bike and realized "hey this is still a thing!"
I felt like I was learning through the riders' mistakes. The instructor did a very nice job
i guess that guy was born to ride a bike.. he is the chosen one
The first time I rode my bike I rode around my block for like 30 minutes. There is no way you will feel comfortable riding in traffic with 30 minutes of riding. I rode around my neighborhood for a week before I rode in the city. Takes about 1-2 months to get it good, after that you slowly pick up something new. Takes about five minutes to learn how to ride it and get it moving but takes at least a month to feel comfortable.
Took me literally about 1-5 minutes to learn on GSXR 600 back in 07. Got it off the truck friends said this is off you shift, and I got on and went off on my way. Super easy to ride, and everyone should do it, picking up new pre-owned Harley today actually in just a few hours. Only a Sportster but it's my first Harley so not bad.
I am so happy I found this account. I've been meaning to get a 250 as well, even though I'm a complete beginner. And I'm already learning so much from you. XD
Thank you so much!!!
I really want a starter bike. Cant seem to get myself to commit to buying one as of yet. Ive been self teaching myself through informative videos as such this one. You do a very good job on teaching without being a dick. You never pushed the rider past his comfort zone and for that i commend you. Great job.
07slowbalt
So did you get your bike?
unfortunately a series of events changed that aspect of my life. i suffered a shoulder injury that required me going under the knife. nearly a year later and ive yet to get all my range of motion back. oh and then i had a kid....their went those extra funds lol. one day i plan on getting a bike but life throws you curve balls so we'll see what happens.
Making friends with bikers and telling them to teach you how to control a cageless form of transportation is key here, otherwise cheers for your Kid and your life decisions
Got my lesson today wish me luck 😅
Urban-Street-Elite good luck
How did it go? Lol
Alex Kay just a little late lol
@@Thicbladi haha
The way you explain things is excellent, loved this video, great job. Thanks!
For a first time rider, did a very well done job for comfort on the bike. Not to mention a good first time save without the bike damaged.
@13:00 I swore you were teaching him how to ride a horse telling him to use his legs lol, maybe I should stick to horses and forget the bike haha.
This guy should open a motorcycle safety school..
argeni argeni bruv a dmv provides all of the essentials
You seem like a good big brother.. Keep it up... Family is everything...
AWESOME VIDEO!!! Watched so many capable riders explaining how to ride while they ride and make it look so easy. Such a great idea to see a learner do it. So much more to consider. Thanks heaps for posting this!
This guy is an excellent teacher. I'm taking mental notes for when I teach my friends.
i assume the woman in the car was his wive.. Thumbs up for her, i wish my wive were more supportive like her hheehe
I hope I can find a person can teach me to ride. Like you're teaching this person
Cheers for the pointers, will help me greatly. Many thanks.
The moment he said 'eh?' I knew he was Canadian. I've been living in british columbia now for 6yrs and Canadians say "eh" at the end of their sentences from time to time
Seen these 250's and 300's around .. makes me miss my old mc22 cbr250rr 1993 model . It sounded far better than modern 250's and handled amazing
When he almost dropped the bike, my heart just dropped.
just got my first bike ninja 1000 rode it a 5 times around the neighborhood. I think i did good my first time ever riding a motorcycle
+TheMangoAssassin thank you i will.
dam im tryna get me one everybody saying get a 250 because ive never rode a bike and you started with a 1000?
+first last A smart man gets a 250 to learn on. Get a 250.
Thanks i just bought my first bike yesterday a suzuski 500 black and grey like new had too drive it 80miles back home id say i did pretty good for it being my first time ever riding got up too about 75....im loving it...#bike life
+first last bro it's all in the wrist
Your a great instructor! I love how you asked him “let know if you feel like I’m pushing you.” 👍
great video for beginners.....great instructor...keep your eyes up, look into turn
This is a very helpful video, I will be riding my bike on Saturday so I'm a bit nervous but I think I will do good.
how it went man? Im buying tomorrow my first bike ever, a 2nd hand Beta M4. Never rode a bike before. Damn!
Sorry for the late response, it went well and given the fact I've never taken lessons its been good but I gotta thank RUclips for that.
+Asanda Mbali same here bro. Just fell once but fortunately my bike can take a hit properly. Ride safe man!
Thanks, you to man.
Nothing sucks more than when you want to go riding and it's -25 outside and everything is covered in an ass load of snow. I really hate winter now since I started riding.
You had a great instructor, thanks for sharing this with us.
i recently got a ninja 250 as my 1st bike super easy to ride! thanks for the video!!
I'm getting a Honda 700CTX tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous been riding a 150cc scooter to get use to traffic but now i'm going to have the shifting component added in. Thanks for doing this video. I appreciate the tips.
The whole, should I get a small bike to start with or the one I really want, question is fueled by people thinking that they're going to marry their first bike. Get a small used bike off of craigslist for less than $2000, ride it for 500 miles and then sell it for just about as much as you paid for it. Those small bikes sell fast and after a certain point depreciate in value very slowly. Think of it as an extended rental. Then get the one you really want.
Buying a 2015 ninja 300 abs tomorrow actually as my first bike 2500 and it's only got 400 miles lol the guy is scared to ride being 40 something with 3 kids and wants it paid off
U awesome sir. I've watched this video many times as its my first time riding. I just bought a 09 ninja 250r an I love it..still learning tho but limited to my parking lot as I haven't gotten my license yet..hopefully this week or next..keep up the good work as u have the only dedicated channel on ninja 250r I've found so far
Hey buddy these vids are the best and the closest to actually learning the bike. So cool. Very excellent video. Gjg. Wtg.
Guy's a natural! Great coaching.
Nice gear except for tennis shoes and no socks. You need boots to protect your feet not worthless tennis shoes even at these low speeds.
+Creme De La Creme You must be one of those clowns I see riding without a helmet , wearing shorts and sandals.
+Barack Blows IKR those are clowns.
+Barack Blows one thing about clowns is that they are obvious. Can't miss the bright colours. :)
I gree 100%
+Barack Blows I wouldn't want to ride with jeans either, depends.
Heck, I have/had a dirt bike and drive/drove a manual truck, why not when starting while going up a hill obviously be in first but find where the clutch grabs and that'll put tension on the engine which you can then release the break and just ease out the clutch when you wanna go... that's how I do it at stops in the truck (on slants).
Sure you wanna use your breaks commonly and not wear the clutch but it's still something that's good to know, and depending on where you don't always wanna have to focus on both the brake and clutch. In my opinion.
Yeah man, I just bought my 250r and it’s such an amazing bike!
03 ninja 250. great learning bike. there is one thing a small bike cannot teach you. weight. wind sucks if you're on a lighter bike
Very nice video. I like that you taught us how to ride and showed us first-person view of a beginner.
good job teaching and riding. I cannot wait to try it myself.
Tried learning on a 750 Shadow ACE yesterday. Stalled a few times but finally got going then promptly wiped out in spectacular fashion.
Haha, hope your ok. Keep practicing, you'll learn soon enough.
That's what happened to me on my 250 Ninja. I'm still kicking myself for not having figured out how to install the camera mounts beforehand. Grr! Of course, now I'm kicking myself because it would have been so easy. Double Grr!
FrostyFooy is right. I upgraded to an R6S and I'm doing fine now. After I failed the MSF skills test, I went on Craigslist and hired a personal tutor. That was the third-best $100 I've ever spent.
First bike I ever drove was a 400cc dirtbike when I was 15 (in 1995). I didn't even drive a 50cc moped before, just straight to a 400cc. It was from a friends dad. Al I knew was how to get into 1st gear, twist the throttle and release the clutch. I almost crashed seconds in lol.
Awesome video guys. Big props to your brother for asking excellent questions.
correction. I once turned too slowly and almost hit a curb, motorcycle was going to go down but i kicked my leg to the ground and re balanced. It did hurt my knee but I was extremely slow, the weight is what probably hurt. STILL. I stopped my bike from dropping mid turn and continued down the road. I did turn wrong which means i shouldnt have had to put my foot down, but it did save me.
there ar erare situations where you put your foot down if you cant figure out another way out of things
Wow, this made me really happy for some reason. Awesome video.
pwnsjones=good teacher
I had never ridden a bike before. The first lesson the teacher thought me how to shift and work the clutch, within 10 mins i was riding on the road behind the instructor for 45 mins.
In the netherlands you have 2 exams and 1 theorie. one for learning to master the bike and one for on the road. got both in 5 lessons each. got my license with one lesson a week within 2.5 months. first bike was a 600 supersport lol no probs with it whatsoever. am looking for a liter bike now instead of my 600R and next to my 1100 shadow ace
I had no instructor...was driving in ten minutes on my 200cc..
You really need to change that muffler it sounds like a damn scooter... lol
i was so young when i started riding bikes i dont remember learning how i do remember my first bike tho yamaha 50 was given to me as a todler lol
Your a nice teacher and he's a good learner.
Firstchoice Lastchoice if you cant afford a safety school, mr.jones here is the best next thing
Firstchoice Lastchoice fuck off m8. ive seen much worse
This is a smart student.
Understands his limitations, doesn't push it, doesn't care how it looks, just wants to learn.
I drive a manual transmission car and its completely second nature now. But on a car you can slap it right into neutral. When riding a bike can you just hold in the clutch and shift from say 5 to 1 or do you have to let out for each individual gear?!?!
yes, you don't need to let out the clutch every time, just hold it and go to any gear
Oscar Felipe Lozano López okay great thanks man
William Jeffrey Sometimes the gears will jam and you won't be able to go either up or down, especially if you have just stalled your bike. It is always better to do gear changes in a step wise fashion.
Oscar Felipe Lozano López not necessarily. Depends on the bike. Bc on the 94 gs 250 you have to do it individually
at slow sped it's not gas to stabilize you chipping the throttle is what causes problems but when you go really slow but you pull in your clutch and push the back break ever so slightly that will stabilize the bike
Love this video, Amazing help
2:30 so basically just like a manual car
Why didnt you make your brother wear boots? Foot injuries are the most common for beginners.
Tell em ric
Haha, first and only injury was going wide on a turn and wedging my foot between a street sign and my pegs, and it was within my first month of riding for sure.
When in doubt throttle out. Tell him 70 percent of brake power is in front brake lever side. Also how to pull clutch n cut all power to wheel when stopping or parking then throw neutral until u get it down straight.
You seem like a very good teacher :) will be going for my safety course soon
When you sit a basic skills test before applying for a learners license the assessor points these things out to you,I never saw any emergency hard braking using front and back brakes at the same time.
My first time on a manual bike was when I bought it and had no choice but to ride it home but I did ride a scooter and watched some vids on youtube how to change gears. :D
"no choice" 😜
Is this in Canada? so many bikers in Canada. he said aye a lot.
Simply Tuned I was wondering that too. aye
Alberta plates so yes
I’m Canadian and I don’t say eh a lot
Eh*
It eh.... eh. ..aye is aussie...
It helps a lot if you know how to drive standard transmission cars.
Thx for teaching us professor
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but in low speed tight turns, you lean "away" from the turn, not into it. The figure 8 box for the MSF is way to tight to turn a bike like that.
well bloody done mate! really, really well on the explanation on everything. im going for a ride for the first time tomorrow, im kinda worried haha
About to finish my first season of riding. I took some riding courses before i got my license but sadly my teacher wasnt nearly as good as yours. He almost came off as it was just another day at the office. I'd ask him about things I was doing wrong and he'd just go "I'll let you know if you make some" but I would sometimes fail to shift to second gear and hit neutral before going to 2nd, I mean even I noticed it and he didnt mention it until I asked him about it. Luckily the last two sessions was with another guy who was really really good.
For people watching this who want to start riding. I was in your shoes earlier during the summer when I just got my license and work on getting comfortable at slow speeds. That's whats really hard about riding imo. Sharp turns at slow speed makes balancing a bigger factor. Main two things is shifting and slow speeds. At faster speeds its easier to turn since you just counter steer.
ride or die Oh no i'm so offended...cry me a river buddy boy.
Plague Doc i aint gonna cry shit but when u wanna talk bad about bikers dont fucking ride one
ride or die With that same logic you cant complainin about ISIS since they're also humans. Theres smart and mature bikers and then theres people who put their life in danger to look "cool"
Plague Doc dude you are stupidly stupid... killing the same isnt like doing a wheelie and having fun man....
ride or die Stupidly stupid lol.
If you wheelie and you fall off, your bike comes in to my lane.. I can get killed from it. So yes. you put others in danger.
First time I tried riding a bike was in a Ducati Xdiavel. With 1,200 cc. I dropped it on the turn. I’m 19 with no motorcycle experience
Ninjas are the best to learn on
Very awesome instructor good job jones
I recommend the 2nd gen Vmax as a first bike to anyone starting in this sport.
Great tips here, makes me happy to have been misled into this video.
You should teach him to have his body and bike in opposite position when turning, lean away in tight turns
Yea much tighter turns that way at low speeds
i wish i could just get the chance to ride a bike right now... my dad has one but he is extremely carefull with it so he doesn't let me ride it for a first time :(
start saving
He stated it was different than a dirt bike, so this is Not his first time on a motorcycle. He has way too much control from the start and thru turns. Hes also driving more quickly that someone who is not use to that bike or bikes in general. I call BS on this video.
I started on a 600 but I'm getting a 300 for insurance. Only 16. I'm scared that the 300 will be very boring since I already got to feel how fun the 600 is
I'm learning to ride on a monster 750 😂
I tried riding my brothers 300 the other day for the first time. Neither of us have our licenses and thought it would be a good idea to practice before taking the msf course so we could be more confident. We both dropped the bike on the grass. Too much brake and I lost balance and tipped it on its side. I've never ridden even a dirt bike so it's a foreign concept to me. I've ridden pedal bikes my whole life. Hopefully I can get the hang of it.
your in the grass that's why
+Adam Blackwell I was on a sidewalk and the bike tipped onto the grass
+Derek Butler Oh I see you'll get the hang of it
+Derek Butler That's why you should have taken the MSF course first. At least you were going slow and in the grass so the chance of injury and damage to the bike is minimized.
Great first timer
hi dude....im 5.6 foot/167 centimeters
can i handle the seat height of ninja 250 properly??
please i need your suggest about it.....thanks
Ya my gf is 5'6 and fits on a 250
Complete Boss!
the ninja 250 looks really good
This helped a lot! I have zero experience on a motorcycle, but I really wanna give it a try! My main concern is my lack of knowledge and experience on a manual, and my size. I'm super tiny. 5'3 and I weigh about 110lbs haha.
Just taught a friend of mine, she is 5'2 & 100 pounds. She can only touch tip toe on one side. She did surprisingly well. So it is very possible for you to learn. Just try to learn on a lighter bike. If u have any questions just ask.
Thanks! What kind of bike did she start on? I've been looking into either a Ninja 250 or a cbr 250. Lately I've been leaning towards the Honda. Although it really all depends on what I can find on the market lol.
im 5'7 165 so my motorcycle choices are limited so i stay with the 250 class since i prefer light flickable bikes
+Kayyvr she started on a honda 250. it was the perfect bike for her to start on it was very light the clutch was very easy to get used to. I think you will be fine. Just be very cautious, and continously scan in front and also all around you.
Brian Wilson Thanks! I plan on taking the MSF course sometime in July. Wish me luck!
man i am jealous, i have ride a bike ones in my life for 15mins, all i did was just go straight on a street and back for the 15mins, I hit up to 2nd shift probably up to 25mph at the most. Ones i got to the end of the street I completely stop put both feet on the ground and walk the bike for the turn and then go again straight on the street on first and then second and then stop completely using the clotch i walk again the bike on the turn and then put it back on first gear and straight again hahaha but it was awesome!!
I feel the guys that excellent teacher
this video is old but whatever, it's better to teach clutch friction zone control for 1st gear sharp and tight cornerning than it is to use throttle
I love your videos man, you seem like a good dude
