Can we please get a how to sell your first bike too?
Short story time. It’s decent, promise. I’m from New Jersey, and took an MSF course in September with no motorcycle experience prior. A week ago I flew to Australia for work, I’ll be here until February (3 months). I took one look at rental car, used car, and public transport prices and realized it’d be cheaper (and more fun) to buy a bike and sell it before I leave. 4 days ago I bought a Ninja 400, in a new country, with opposite driving lanes, with 0 hours of real world riding experience, 2 hours highway riding away from my Airbnb.
I picked up the bike, all my new gear, and immediately.. Did slow speed maneuvers in their parking lot for 5 hours until I was confident enough to get onto the road.
That first ride will be with me forever. My first pull onto that foreign highway was as memorable as it was terrifying. The road construction made it extra, interesting..
Well it’s been 4 days of daily riding and I’m alive to watch more Yammie, so I guess I’m doing something right. Cheers mates!
Still alive?
@@FaithAcrosstheWorldyago For now
Amazed you haven’t been picked up yet by the police
Still alive?
@@e2k220Somehow. Got a ZX4-RR in June back in NJ, miss Australia though, NJ sucks for riding in comparison.
First guy I bought a bike from lured me into a 4 hour long conversation about his prison time. Got the bike “running” while I was there then. It was a 1980 Yamaha xj650. Great learner bike! Sad I sold it those years ago
Beats a 4 hour reenactment of prison time any day 😂
I just bought my second motorcycle for the first time😊
Just getting into bikes, what do you recommend to learn and buy?
@gbkchad. Hi brother, well it's like anything, what do you want to ride? Street or off road or both but one more than the other. My 1st bike I wanted to ride all street so I went for cbr600 f4i. It was great! Used, lots of miles on it, and so it didn't matter as much when I dropped it. Then I started to wonder when I drove past some dirt trails as I was riding the twisty's, so I went with another Honda, a 300L. I wanted to ride to the trails because I didn't have a truck to haul a dirt bike. And I wasn't about to buy a truck...to buy a bike. Yammie put a video out on the Husqvarna Svartpilen which is a dual sport also but for someone who would spend the majority of the time on the road with the occasional trail. He really likes it. And I almost bought one, but it's not as off-roady as I would like so I went for the 300l. Either way you go, more power is not more better. Just enjoy the ride. Rent as many bikes as you can and test ride as much as you want before making the purchase. You can always sell your bike but you'll lose some money on it 90% of the time. Enjoy!
Ahh yes, no bike within 400 mile radius of me.
6:16 why does yam have stock FOOTage of someone rubbing there feet 😂
Bought a 2000 sv650 last year for my first bike at 32yrs old. Absolutely love it and have converted it to a cafe/scrambler build.
How is this going, similar to me...?
my first bike was a used 1984 Honda CM 450. I paid $300 for it; then I put 300 more into it for new tires chains sprockets insurance registration and a tuneup. I put 10,000 miles a year on that beast for 3 years, then sold it for $300 when I moved overseas when I left Las Vegas.
I'm a disabled rider who thinks the Can-Am Ryker 900 is freaking awesome, regardless of people who think they are 3 wheeled freak-shows.
I always wave back to someone on a Can-Am or a Harley trike, we’re all on different machines and aspirations but our spirit is one and the same.
$1700 X-Pro Templar 250M, put it together myself, got 400 miles on it so far, my Dad and I still hate each other 🛠️
My recommendation as a starter bike.. one that can last you a long time, getting you what any beginner would want. The Suzuki Boulevard S40.
Also, ive been watching your channel for a little over a year now.. earlier this year I ended up buying a 150cc moped to get to and from work to find out if I really want to ride bike... Turns out I'm buying my first real motorcycle after this winter. Thanks for the confidence sir Yammie. Squid out.
How is it going?
I've driven cruisers Cafe racers and naked bikes and sports I decided I'm a sports kind of guy and I decided on the kawasaki ninja 400 great bike beginner friendly and fun af
Dont take my advice guys the first ever bike k drove was the ducati panigale v4s
@@pintuklagaming7491 wtf I’m so confused 😂😂
For my first bike, I picked was a 2 year old Kawai 250. I bought it for $1,700 and sold it, 2 years later for $1,700. It was not scary but it could manage NJ Turnpike speeds.. I definatly took the NJ motorcycle safety classes first. Relatively upright seating, good tires, safe and simple as a bike can be. I was 50 at the time
just dont do what i did.
went into a dealership with no expectation of buying anything just wanted to check some bikes out, looking for my first bike so i was just doing some looking around.
then i turned a corner and there she was.
the most beautiful bike my sorry ass had ever encountered.
the black and blue 2020 triumph bonneville speedmaster.
i sat on her and after that literally no other bike would do.
for a first bike she was A LOT to handle as i had zero experience but the feeling i got when i sat down i just knew she was the one.
i bought her and had my dad ride her home for me and i basically didnt sleep until i tamed the beast that was my beauty.
it took a lot out of me and it was not easy but i do not regret one single thing.
so like i said do exactly what i did.
Good advise to NOT buy a super expensive bike with tons of power. Luckily most beginner riders don’t have that huge a budget for their first bike lol
@@danieldoyle253 lol i know it was stupid and truthfully speaking i didnt really "have the budget" either i just did it anyway and it has worked out.. took a giant gamble like an idiot but it worked out so im not complaining lol
@@hshelly886 Nice bike Man! I’m jealous but would still be paying for it another year or two ugh
How much does dirtbike riding translate to road? Very interesting question. I feel like learning on dirt is pretty valuable for learning motorcycle mechanics as far as clutch manipulation, shifting, and throttle control. However, you won't be prepared for dealing with other drivers, which is arguably more important.
Yes, learning to deal with other drivers is very important, however you do pick up and learn incredible bike control from riding on dirt, being able to handle a bike dancing and sliding around under you at speed will give you all the necessary tools to deal with it if/when it happens on the road (wet weather - wet drain covers & paint, oil patches etc).
It also massively helps in slow speed manoeuvres if you feel the bike starting to go from under you, knowing when and where to put your foot down just at the right time to keep you from tipping over.
Riding on dirt gives you way more skills to use on the road than the other way round.
Dirt is prolly 3/4 if you've driven a car before and understand idiots
The biggest advantage that a dirt rider has is that they don’t freak out and dump their bike when they run over a slippery spot in a curve.
Yes i started out on a lil 80cc and jumped straight into a 600 biggest thing that helped me was learning the basics on a smaller bike then transferring those skills to something bigger
@@nkass3887 Yeah. Those are all great points. Practicing on a dirtbike before road riding is like being in a simulator beforehand.
All us euro boys sad when you're saying 400s are beginners, we have to start on 125s or 50s
Which tribe ?
Hyosung makes/used to make decent full size learner bikes. Personally, the only Hyosung bikes that I've owned/ridden is the GT250R sports bike. 250cc 90* V-twin making around 35hp, wet weight of around 395lbs, and a fuel range of around 200 miles before looking for fuel.
The last one I owned had just over 40k miles. With regular maintenance, they are very reliable bikes
Thanks, learned a lot. Amazing video as always. I am currently riding a yamaha Tzr 50cc but I would like more power, maybe a R1M haha. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Edit: not so good at English so maybe some bad spelling.
Are your motorcycle laws dictated by the EU? or is it dictated by Swedish law?
@@noze_yt it’s kinda both the EU and Sweden. I have an EU moped that’s restricted to 45 km/h which is 25 maybe 30 miles per hour. But I have derestricted it so it can go up to 108 km/h. Maybe 60/65 miles per hour.
So what you're saying is that I should buy the SECOND Turbo 'Busa I see.
i’m about to get an mt07 for my first bike hopefully
I keep going back to this bike in my research. Seems like the bike I want for my first bike.
Good first bike jus get ur sliders. Frame, axles, both side engine case guards, and brush guards or just buy extra bar ends. I prefer brush guards from Amazon. Keep your hands warm too.good luck
Could be a bit of a handful. It’s a wheelie machine. You’ll be surprised to see how powerful it is. But on the positive side, it’s lightweight and that can be helpful.
As we speak I’m on the way to the dmv for my first bike - FZ09 😍
It's always fun learning from you 🙂
I made the rookie mistake of saying "I like the bike" and now they aren't willing to negotiate the price :]
I bought a 22 sv650 from the dealer around my area in May. I’m happy with it as my first bike, I’ve been able to practice and get comfortable with riding. I am 26 yrs. Old, 6 feet tall and about 270lbs so it does feel a bit slow when trying to accelerate up on the highway. So I will definitely be looking at something a bit bigger in the next season or two. (Or I’ll loose some weight) 😂
I was very tempted to buy a Sv650, I think I'll be getting a MT-07 after all. The dealer always try to upsell me the MT-09 multiple times because of my size (6 foot 5, 198lbs or 196cm, 90kg) but nope, I don't care I look very tall on it
@@renevp2 I look huge on the SV650, so I might look either at the MT09 or super sport. Just so I look more proportional and fit better
Hey man I’m 28 and 5’10, about 200 lbs (trying to lose some weight too)-do you actually think the bike feels slow pulling on the highway? I’m new into riding, only rode dirt bikes in the past, but I’ve been told by a decent amount of people that even smaller cc bikes feel super fast to new riders
@@soccernoodle17x I would have to agree on that point, my SV650 Around town it’s plenty fast even at my weigh it feels like a rocket. At highway speeds you’ll definitely not be winning any races, but it’s plenty fast from 30-75/80…

My ancestors: You heard that?
Other ancestors: Heard what?...⚰️
Getting another bike is all I think about nowadays but making payments for one with the way the economy is going just doesn't make sense. Better to be sad boy with no bike and not worrying about money then to be happy boy having to work more to get more money
i dont have motorcycle but still watch your vids :)
One of the best video. Wow I loved it
What type of bike would work for someone 6'7" that can go on potholed limerock roads, sugar sand roads, and still be good on paved roads?
i had a dealer calling me every single day asking for the next digit of my credit card, i was going to buy the bike so i played along.
I want a cruiser as my first bike!!
I’m really considering a Royal enfield, but a naked bike would be cool🤦♂️🤷♂️
The Scram 411 is what I'm leaning towards
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! Just what I needed. Thanks

If you go to the dealer can u buy the bike if you don’t have a motorcycle license ?
Yes
@@jason401. are u serious
@@MrTheManWeeD Yes
So. About the street triple…. Yeah well now my first will be a 02 tiger 955i, in mint condition. Working 12h daily for a month and weekends when available
I'm a vintage bike guy so if I'm going to look at a certain motorcycle I'll do some research on it. I wanna be able to tell if that's the stock carb or front brake, etc. I also want to know if there's common problems with that model and what are the upgrades. Plus you wanna sound like you know a little about the bike/brand when talking to the owner. When looking at a bike, I always bring a flashlight. You can't look into the gas tank and up under the bike without a good flashlight.
I'm thinking of Kawasaki er6n, Kawasaki Z650, Yamaha mt07 or suzuki GSR 600... Can't wait to get my license and so I can go for many test rides and make my decision
I am about to start watching the video but from the title I can only say: wished you posted this a few days back
"Thumb to the wind" that's different for me, usually hear people say "finger to the air"
Man I could use all the tips I’ve never rode or own but I really want to get a bike I’m thinking cbr600 I know it’s a lot of bike but I wanna learn on it
Kp mini 150 from Amazon, wanted to learn on something new without the fear of dropping it frequently 😂
Informative
Can admit the Ktm rc 390 2022 has been an amazing first bike for approaching the hobby. Whatsup yammie
Bought a r6 as my first bike. Best decision ever.
Which bike is best for a tall rider (6"2'): Honda CB500F, Honda Rebel 500, or Honda CBR500R??
It's the Yam I knew. The Yam I missed ❤
My first bike was a new 1981 Yamaha 550 Seca. I loved it back then.
0:11 hit too close to home
As someone with a 28" inseam I'm going to be tiptoeing anything that's not a cruiser if I went for another genre
I feel your pain. After getting shorter as I got older, I sorely miss my '81 yamaha 650 midnight maxim. No one makes 'em like they used to. Powerful and low enough for a short shit like me to flatfoot
@@northcee9412 you might like the Harley Sportster S, it's made for very short people (or females), and it's decently powerful with 121 HP (but it's got all the tech to keep it tame enough for a beginner, though rather pricey since a beginner is going to drop it...). My biggest complaint with it is that it's made for short people (a benefit for you), and it's max lean angle is 34.5 degreed, which is nowhere enough for me when I'm taking turns quickly in parking lots or just turns in general because scraping is the last thing I want to happen limiting me on a turn.
Ironically I'm fairly tall (6'2") but I have the legs of a short person
I got myself as my first bike a street legal 2 stroke supermoto
It does... 2 and a half horsepower...
6:18 Instructions unclear, feet are above me
That's the most comfortable, I like to drive with my feet over the handlebars, and thanks to countersteering I can whip it around in parking lots doing figure 8's or at high speeds and it's super controllable and comfy. As a bonus the feet act almost like a windshield diverting air that otherwise presses on my helmet, and you get lots of air up your pants keeping you cool.
Ninja 650 is my first bike and I love it.
I bought a beta rr 50 enduro 2021 in red and it‘s Sweet
I just don't understand how to get a motorcycle when none of the shops have them in store. Like do I just ask them to get the bike here so I can ride it or just buy it
Yamaha r7, good starter or good dirt bike starter
I'm disappointed that you didn't say something like go and buy the first TURBO BUSA you can find.
As an Indian 300+ cc motorcycle is considered fancy and powerful bikes.
Stuck between buying either Honda cb500f or mt-07
I started on a Ducati with 160hp
am I the only one who have bought the 1st bike just by reviews, without riding it first? :)
buying a new bike is always a dumb idea. also buying from a dealer and bike sites like cycletrader. everything is overpriced.
I have a question. I just bought gsxr 600, no abs. at what speed can i brake hard in an emergency without slipping and falling? 20 kmh? 40 kmh?
I’m looking for my very first bike right now. Have 0 experience but Ima get a 600. Looking at the R7 right now but would like yalls opinion
First make sure you buy a casket, then get the bike with the spare money. For reference, most cars are over 4,000 pounds, and a below 400 bike with 120-130 HP is going to be like starting with a 1200 HP car, except that car can tip over, and it can tip over the front when braking hard, and it can slam you on your back on a hard launch, and it has no seat belt or air bag or crumple zone (YOU are the crumple zone). It also has only 1 line of tire patch, so if you hit the tiniest of oil or sand spots (which a car would still have grip with it's other wheels), you'll be enjoying a free skin sanding courtesy of Mr pavement.
You really want a 1200 HP belt sander, go ahead, but buy the casket first. For reference a car Im looking at is a McLaren 570S, which doesn't even have half that power (yet it's still a 200+ mph supercar). Is that really something you need? I mean you can go for it, but please give me your full name and social so I can take out a life insurance policy on you and just go ahead and put the title in my name so I can get a cheap barely used partly in tact project bike in a few months, thanks.
Video on selling your motorcycle?
Yayyy im first (what do you think about Yamaha yzf r125?)
moped
Ignore the guy who said it was a moped. It’s a perfectly fine bike for someone on an A1 license. You can develop your skills on a smaller bike with less fear and less of a chance of doing harm to yourself. Like he says in the video, it’s your first bike, not your last.
European market and road needs are way different then USA
We can ride turbo Hayabusas for a first bike NOT because it’s intelligent…but because Gd Damn freedom that’s why! 🦅🇺🇸🍔🤠
But yeah great beginner bike lol
I want a Honda Rebel 500, it's too much for a beginner?
excellent motorbike for a beginner.
I think most channels have indicated that the rebel 500 is a good beginner bike.
Watch his videos on the rebel but it’s a great beginner bike
It might seem intimidating at first but I think that would be a good beginner bike.
Perfect timing about to buy my first bike any suggestions guys (I like cruisers) I’m 17
If you really like cruisers look at a lot of different brands. They aren't my cup of tea so I can't say which is truly better than the others. What I can say is that cruisers tend to be heavier bikes, so if it's your 1st one, look for something lighter weight with at least 35-45 lbft on the torque specs. Also try to go modern with fuel injection, unless you can wrench and fix your bike yourself. Avoid carburetors! Hope that helps!
Im 16 and I just bought a new Crf250l for a first bike !
can you let me know how you did it? i'm looking forward to buying a bike soonn but don't know where to start
@@juceimiliano5150 hey! As a starter you may be looking for something affordable to buy, maintain, repair (or replace parts) comfortable to ride, highway capable and great for Gas and Mileage. I recommend looking at a Suzuki Boulevard S40. I advise you and any new rider from jumping into an 800 Ib Touring bike, tho they look nice.. it requires alot of experience to operate and alot of money to buy and maintain.
I just bought a cheap used vfr that a good friend knows in and out. We restored it really nicely. I drove it for a summer, gave it to my dad and bought a Zero FX.
Naked bikes have more turn radio than sport bikes?
They're shorter
I love your channel. Great advice and info. But, damn, why you hate on cruiser bikes so much? I'm sure the sport bikes are nice, I just think they're ugly. Anyway, to each their own. Thanks for the content!
Tks. much.
Walk into a bike store, tell them you ain’t no bitch and ride out on a turbo busa. JK, for my first bike I didn’t know if I wanted a 400 or 650. So I sat on the 400 and it was WAY too physically small. I sat on the 650 and it was perfect. So 650 it was. I’m 5”11 without shoes on and about 175. And BTW I’m selling the 2022 650 because I got a ZX6R. Only 1,200 miles on it with the 600 mile service done, mint condition still, and NO ONE will buy it from me. Not one serious inquiry in 3 months now. And the sad thing is it’s actually in mint condition with zero issues and still brand new. I’m actually not scamming anyone, selling it for $2,000 less than a dealer and there’s no crap to deal with …… meanwhile people are buying used GSXRs and other 650’s from private parties and dealers that have rusted ass chains, worn out valves and hidden bent rims. And here I am
thanks
Mt09 cool option?
Jokes on you. My dads dead.
Squid respect!✊
I really want to get a desert sled for my first bike, but Im worried about the lack of maintenance access. Is there anything more user friendly you would suggest?
If you mean dirt bikes or duel sports, there isn't much that's more simple and easy to work on. Single cylinder (so 1/4 the engine of sport bikes, 1/4 to 1/8 the valves, spark plugs, ignition coils, and if it's carbureted syncing 4 carbs I'd just rather pull all my hair out). They also don't have lots of plastic body panels to remove each time, they are simple (no Desmo valves), and there's really nothing more simple besides a bicycle.
@Jake Garrett I mean in order to access the oil drip pan you have to remove the exhaust. Ease of regular maintenance
@Jake Garrett I like the off-road option for established dirt tracks and clearance. I've seen from the algorithm that Google knows I want a motorcycle. I'm just curious if someone who loves his desert sled and has attracted a significant following has any comparable bikes.
The sled looks good. I like the way it looks and its capabilities seem in line with what I'm looking for. Cruising and a possible light off road option.
@@berttorpson2592 For a first bike go with something light weight, off-road bikes you'll need to be able to whip around plus they are super tall so all that weight really makes them "feel" heavy (a 550 pound Harley feels almost light compared to my little 350 pound duel sport because the Harley all that weight is down low pivoting close to the tires). I think the flat out nicest options if you have lots of money are the Husqvarna 701 enduro (701 supermoto is what I'd want personally, I used to drift motorcycles a lot and that thing looks fun!). Those things are pretty elite in terms of light weight with absolutely mind blowing torque and wheelie machines! It would take you a very long time to outgrow one of them, and quite honestly would be a beast to tame for a while (probably outright dangerous for a while, you'd really want to take your time). Those are probably your best track option though, I'd love to own one.
My bike is a piece of garbage 250cc (had it since I was 14, because that was the largest engine my state would allow to license for the road at that age), but even its 15 HP of pitifulness is doing about 70-72 mph and it handles the curvy roads at those speeds (even when the speed limit is half that, but that's just arbitrary imaginary numbers on a sign anyways), and it can go much faster off-road than my skill by a good margin. Also seems to make about 60 mpg so its decent on fuel too. Its basically a Hawk 250cc if you want to see similar bikes, so its nothing even close to the Japanese bikes in terms of performance but its cheap and although mostly garbage it doesn't keep me from flying through town faster than anyone else dares to go.
@Jake Garrett I want something that looks more motorcycle less dirt bike. The scrambler is beautiful and I like the duality of going off road on established paths or dirt roads. I wouldn't be doing it often enough to warrant better off road ability.

Did his dog die? No, Yam realized he was spending too much time throwing the ball, and he really got into fetch to get the ball, so he had to let his dog go so he could take a more active role fetching the ball like he started out doing.
What a horrible analogy.
After long consideration…I am going with a 250cc scooter 😊, easy to ride, economic, spacious and most importantly comfortable for daily ride
yoooooooooooooooooooo ok mt 125?

Buy a 600cc bike or be considered a poser.
