"Is it to impress girls?"
Me, a girl: Fuck yeah-
You made me spit out my drink
SAME
🤷🏾♀️ maybe who knows 😉🏍️
Lmao same
so true girls on bikes are hot as fuck
- a girl
I wanna ride a motorcycle because it’s an upgrade over my bicycle
Its like upgraded bicycle and much cooler
Facts bro
Well that and I also don't see myself in a car, feel like a caged animal. I NEED TO BE FREE!!!
Buy a small bicycle engine kit lol
Yeah pretty much
Coming from the car world, i can honestly tell you that getting into bikes is WAY cheaper than cars..
Truer words have never been spoken. I bought a '19 gti last March. With all the mods I bought for this, I could've had a brand new bike
LMAO thats why I’m getting into bikes instead of cars
One fully greddy turbo kit costs as much as 1 400-600cc bike 🤦🏻♂️😂
How do I get into cars?
Yup
"Is it to impress girls? Is it to show your dad how tough you really are?"
Me: ....
Me: BOTH
Exact same here
What r u fucking gay?!
@@fletcherhi131 Girls always need to be better than other girls, it has nothing to do with being gay. In fact they even groom themselves more to beat other girls than for their boyfriend.
@@fletcherhi131 flecther nooooo
Fletcher Hi who cares if she’s gay?
License in USA IS SOOOO EASYYY No wonder there are a bit more idiots on motorcycles... Yes I'm looking at you Tank top, shorts flip flops Busa rider...
***** Yeah, in Europe its like AM,A1,A2,A which is respectively, 50cc, 125cc (15KW),35KW,any size. I think the 50cc should be dropped cos its fairly useless maybe even the 125cc 15 kw increased to like 250cc 22kw or 300 cc 25 kw or something like that and the A2 to like 50-60 KW cos right now they are kinda pointless, but yea simply i just want them to shift the limit upwards, tho it definitely is helpful to those newer riders
[HUN]AntaresSQ01 i feel sorry for all of you guys in Europe. Your license requirements are ridiculous
Finding_Xeno Ye well numbers say different things, not to mention it feels better to get a license xd
***** Motorcycle deaths/accidents, an example of this: USA motorcycle accidents were around 90000 for 320 million people (about 1 accident every 3500 people) while in the UK it was 6000 accidents for 64 million people (1 accident every 10600 people) (tho this is a very trivial comparison, the number of accidents/deaths in the first year of riding are dramatically lower too)
Well our requirements in Europe are harder, but hardly ridiculous. You learn all the basics and you feel safe from day one riding your bike. I took my license over the course of 1 and a half month, paid its cost, and never have to worry about that again. Got safety instructions, know how my bike will handle near its limits, all that good stuff that you otherwise have 50% chance at learning, and 50% chance at it causing you to crash before you get to learn it :)
full motorcycle license in US? 15 hours over 2 days
full motorcycle license in AUS? 2 years at least 100 hours of riding
Don't forget the $700 you need to pay just for your learners course in Tas. Add another $250 for the check ride.
:'(
Sucks to have other people dictate your life huh. Kinda like then telling you that you can only have a bolt action rifle with the bolt locked in a separate locker. Australia sucks.
And I will bet that in Australia, you lose many fewer new riders. In the US, the first six months of street riding is VERY dangerous.
@@johnc8910 most likely considering America had 8 times the riders and 20 times the 4 wheel vehicle driver. So math would dictate that the likelihood of an accident is way higher in the us as in Australia.
@@johnc8910 also the majority of accidents aren't cause by the motorcycle riders. It's by other riders.
So, the taking longer to get a motorcycle permit really will make no difference.
I live in Canada. Here are the months I can ride my motorcycle this year.
July 1st 2k18 - July 1st 2k18.
lol
I’m not sure what part of Canada you live in but where I live there’s lots of time where I live in Nova Scotia to ride from around the first of may TIL the end of October-middle of November
Just bundle up and ur good to go
I live in Texas. Here are the months I can ride my motorcycle this year:
January - December. If I lived farther north, I would have electrical undergarments and I could ride . . . January - December as long as there was no snow or ice on the roads.
@@alexgunn1211 same here is ontario lol
"moneypit of a hobby", well i'm switching to motorcycles because owning, maintaining and driving more than one sportscar would make me homeless.
I've only made money riding bikes haha
Sterling Forsyth what do you for work then if your making money
@@atvthings6887 I have a job too, but I only buy bikes and mopeds in the off season, and I fix any issues they have and sell them for more. Bikes have really paid off for me
If your still doing it in a couple years can I buy one or two from you?
@@atvthings6887 sure! I'm in Missouri though
Step 1, buy a turbo busa. The end.
88gt306 lmfao
Go big or gtfo
88gt306 Buy an H2R as a first bike 😂😂😂
Now you can smoke some underground racing lambos at tx2k16
88gt306 😂😂
Buying gear before you buy a bike is excellent advice that way you don't blow your entire budget on the bike and then end up skimping on the proper gear.
$150-$250 good lord. I paid almost $2000 for my bike license in Germany. What a rip off.
Dafür haben wir auch mehrere Theorie- und Praxisstunden. In der USA läuft das alles deutlich unprofessioneller ab.
Enrique David was gelernt hab ich bei der ganzen Sache nicht. Fahre mein Leben lang schon Motocross und seit 18 Jahren unfallfrei Auto. Aber naja. Ist ja vorbei :)
@@evilsideracing gut, das stimmt, unter den Umständen ist es natürlich echt Abzocke 😂
Omg paying 200 for something that give you freedom wtf
Well I live in Virginia and I paid $350 so I think the price
Depends on the state
Why i wanna ride because i hate traffic jams and love the sound of reving
Wats Upyall ah a fellow rev bomber
i just love the feeling of a harley and that low growl man get one would e amazing
is an s1000rr a good starter bike? Ive ridden a tricycle all my life so i have some experience
yes it is. but only if fit a super charger!
No
You will have thick chicken strips can feed a family of 3
Yeah man go ahead!
yeah of course, also, no need for jacket and healmet. lol
"Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one" this definitely made my day
Honestly I’ve just always wanted to ride since I was a little kid and I’ve dreamed of owning my own bike
Same here
Same here as well
I wanna get into motorcycles because they're cool, I wanna be able to drive myself places, and honestly, I've always loved the look of them and the attitude, bravery, and courage of cyclists. I just wanna live on the edge like they do, adrenaline goes hard
I'm getting a feeling you're within the 24< crowd XD. Fr tho, me too.
I really wish you made this video before I started riding. I know I wouldn't have listened, but it's nice to dream!
Must not watch, I do not need a motorcycle.....I keep telling myself
Just watch this now and again on You Tube THE ROAD WARRIORS IRISH
ROAD RACING SOUTHERN 100 to remind what a sport bike can do and that
taking one to the "max" is best left to the boys n girls who have it in the blood
Yes... Yes you do!
I watched this video 3 years ago "biking will be the best thing you will ever do" I watched my bestfriend die to a drunk driver a week ago rip
may his soul rest in peace
U should make a shirt that says “dank whoolies”
TheDukeOfDirt or mega dank nooners
well you missed the fact about convincing smart parents😂😂
Max Violin he did make a video about that. Although I have that problem...
If you get/have a job, just buy it yourself.
To beat the 'smart parents' ordeal, just buy the bike on your own and bring it home. If they kick you out of the house, time to become an adult. :)
CheezyGeez well they'd more likely do that AND light my ninja 300 on fire...😂😂
CheezyGeez agreed. it's easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. haha
MSF was the smartest thing I did. I went in cocky, and got my ass handed to me that first day on the track. On the last day, I had the best track score of only 1 point. So glad you mentioned this in the video. More people need to take MSF!
Uhh they were doing track riding at msf?
Papa Yam, I'm doing it. I finish my MSF course tomorrow and I bought my first bike. Thank you for giving me the content to create and feed an obsession
2:15 Yammie: *Lives in texas*
Also Yammie: *doesnt draw texas*
Texas is too big for A4. you can fit around 3 USAs in it
Lol
Great video! I'm 26 and just started on a 600cc. It's amazing, but it's a lot heavier than most people expect and finding hidden sand and gravel is a harrowing experience. I love my 600 and wouldn't have started on anything smaller at my age and driving experience, but for now it's still plenty of power! I almost never leave 2nd gear unless I'm on the interstate. If you commute in traffic, you might not even leave first on some days.
Another big deal is, having a dark visor on your helmet is so freaking sexy! But if you take it out at night with a dark visor instead of a clear visor, it's terrifying! Especially if you're on the highway and there're divots in the road from construction or uneven lanes. Remember to swap visors if you go out anytime near dark.
Great video! I was thinking about making one similar to this one for years. Now it looks like I don't have to! :)
One suggestion though, although it's advantageous to know a manual transmission before hand, it's not even close to being necessary. I learned manual on a bike and without any help from anyone. I just practiced in my back yard and got it within an hour. At my MSF course there were some people who had never used a manual anything and they picked it up pretty quickly, well within the first day. The MSF course is designed to teach people who have limited-no knowledge in all areas of the bike.
Still do your own, its neat to see what each rider has to say :)
Blayne Maybe over the winter I'll make something, we'll see. I think Yammie's is really good and not sure what I could add! :)
Should you buy a second hand bike for your first bike? I live in the UK, so i cant ride 600-1000's until i'm 24 but i can ride 300's at 18 i was going to buy the ninja 300
"Is it to show your dad how tough you are?" My Dad bought a Ninja 650 and I ride on the back of it. Is that showing my dad I'm tough?
Me: I aM A mOtOrCyCle rIdER
Also me: **cires in 49cc**
ONE question, is your skin worth $1000? if yes pony up.
I know for dam sure a skin graff is more thank 1k.
And not just your asking either.
$10/inch
hahaha Here in Germany we pay about 1500-2000€ for a licence that only lets you Drive a 125ccm and you need Like 20-30 hours of driving and also 12 hours theory -.- xD
Around 460 euros for 35 theory lessons and 10X10KM practical lessons in Portugal for category A
Sad... Come to South Dakota if someone shits in the middle of the road people just keep walking.
Holy shit lol in the UK it’s £100 to get a license for a 125cc and it only takes 1 day.
@@Da5hed That doesn't sound right. Are you talking about your CBT?
Here in America they pretty much give out drivers license in your 16th birthday cake. It's terrifying. Also want a motorcycle? Sure why not - statistically it's only yourself you'll kill. We are crazy here
One of the best channels on RUclips, guy's actually adding value.
I just stumbled across your content this week. I’ve been riding for about 10 years now. And I still love watching all your videos. Well done!
Having 40 years and 3/4 million miles under my belt I agree with your recommendations to the neophytes. Hope your healing well since your header; Noob.
$920 FOR GEAR???!!!! Damn i dont love my life that much holy shit.
I bought a 2piece leathersuit for 100€ . That's how much i love my life.
I KNOWWWWW RIGGGGHHTT?
😂
if i cared that much id drive a car
I’ve been riding for 5 years now and I think everything you said in your video was on point. I’ll recommend this to anyone who wants to get into riding.
Just wanted to throw this out there for all the newbs and taller folks. I’m 6”4’ 180lbs and I have been riding my 2017 Ninja 300 for 3 months now and it’s fucking perfect. It fits me well. I never get sore while riding it. I don’t feel like I’m gonna die every time I ride it. I get to use all the bike’s power whenever I want to. It looks sick and it has an after market carbon fiber exhaust with a mean sound to it. This is my first bike I’ve ever owned and it’s been nothing but fun. When I told experienced riders that I bought a 300 as my first bike all of them were happy for me but I also heard a lotta them say one of two things (usually both):
you’re way too big for that.
Those things are slow as fuck. You’re gonna be bored with it and you won’t be able to ride on highways.
Wrong and wrong.
I once rode my Ninja for three hours and I didn’t feel sore (I do yoga so maybe my flexibility helps me 🤷♂️) Also, I can easily ride on highways. I’ve never felt like it was too slow. Sometimes I need to downshift to pass but I’ve always felt like I’ve had ample power.
Buying a bike was seriously one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and it’s my new passion in life. It’s the first thing I think about doing after work on a sunny day. I’m only at the beginning of my journey but I’m so happy to have tapped into the unexplored realm of bikes. Can’t wait to see where this journey takes me.
Stay safe and have fun out there ✌️
You're right on par with this vid! haha, I was 19 when I did my msf, and bought my new CBR250 with the ABS June of 2014. Got all my gear, rode at night the first hundred miles to get away from traffic, and took off commuting for 2 years :) I did 6000 miles the first 3 months on the little guy, rode all around AZ going to college and doing a bit of touring Tucson and surrounding areas of Phoenix (college was up there) Bought a 2009 R1200GS in late October and put down 21,000 miles in a year and a half. Fantastic bike for any weather and commute style. 12hr days going to Colorado Springs, riding in snow, 117F summers, off road camping for my 21st birthday... had a great time. Had one or 2 close calls all in all. Never a crash or accident but I looked like an ATGATT Power Ranger with reflective tape all over my bikes and hi-viz gear. Always helped.
Still shiny side up?
Yes, and thankful to be so :)
@@RCFlyBoy314 nice man, what state?
Good ol' 110F summers Arizona :)
Money pit??? You don't own a boat apparently
adam hood true though
adam hood dam I forgot about boats
B.O.A.T. Break Out Another Thousand. My bass boat has paid for itself though. Won many tournaments in a 1999 G3 Pro 185
Or fly racing drones.
Yea especially if you have it parked in your driveway. Just sell it at that point.
Love how informative and helpful you are to the new rider and to people who are considering riding
As a noobie interested in switching to a 2 wheeler, I thought this video really helped answer a lot of questions. Subscribed.
i love your videos man. appreciate the hard work
I've always wanted an R6, but you're right. It makes more sense to start out on an R3 or a ninja 300. Much cheaper to own, and you can really explore the limits before moving up to the 600. I agree that riding a slow machine fast is way more fun than riding a fast machine slow. I don't ride yet, but it's unbelievable fun pushing my First car the Ford Focus and its 130 horses to the limit, so I can relate. I don't know what I'd do if I started with something like the 400 horsepower mustangs. Beginner's skills are much less accessible to learn starting from the top. Thanks for the tips Yams! And here's some pasta ~~~~~
And we are gonna ignore the fact that he draws incredibly
My buddy picked up a ninja 650 a few months ago and tried convincing me to jump straight to a 650 or higher as a started bike. He wrecked it a few weeks after, thankfully he was ok, but needless to say I bought a R3 for my first bike. I pick it up next Friday and i'm super excited
You know I've been riding motorcycles for over 3 years now, and I STILL found this video heavily entertaining to watch.
Thank you for making this video! I was seriously considering getting a 600CC but you brought up the fact that I'll do something stupid which is true
A twist of the wrist taught me so many valuable riding techniques. That book helped teach me how to ride my 97 katana 750 so fast that i was easily riding local back roads faster than every single honda shadow 750 in no time. Seriously, they didnt stand a chance.
Advice for new riders, I feel like glove choice is really important item that can be easy to overlook. Throttle control can be tricky enough to get right at first, and its a good idea to make sure the gloves feel right to you. The right glove can be the difference between feeling the throttle and being comfortable, or jerking the throttle worse than a 2006 fz1 with the factory fuel map. Personally i prefer a nice thin race style glove that gives me really good feel, but everyone is different! Be safe out there!
I had an eye opening moment when I drove a 50cc aprilia last week with slick street tyres on a loose surface. I had never felt so free from all the stress and worries of the world. When I start I'll ride for the feeling of riding.
Buy a Supermoto... lol. I will say that my first bike was my first manual transmission. I was fine. Also my fist bike was an R6 and I was fine. Just use your head. With the 600 power band if you keep it under 10k rpms it's pretty tame.
When a good rider speaks to a squid
J j j. J. Just ummmmmm C n CNN 😦💤😥😥😦😥😧🇹🇷🇨🇮🇨🇮🇭🇷🇰🇲🇧🇮🇮🇴🇨🇲 🇨🇻🇨🇻🇧🇮🇧🇬🇨🇺🇨🇺
I learned how to ride a bike before I learned how to drive stick. Manual cars are weeeeeeird, man. It makes so much sense to have your big clumsy foot control the shifter and your sensitive hand control the throttle.
Solid suggestions and well done video, hope you're recovering quickly Yammie. For folks who really want to get into sportbikes, I'd suggest not just the Keith Code videos (find them all and watch them) but also the California Superbike School. I'd also recommend a track bike, something you can thrash and crash and not be out more money than you can afford to lose (because you will crash)... and expect gear to cost at a minimum twice as much.
Im 40 years old and rode dirt bikes around 15 years ago. I just purchased a 2018 klr 650 and will be taking my time before hitting the streets. Short stints on back roads and parking lot practice is in my future for the next couple weeks. Its crazy how new it feels after such a long hiatus.
I have been wanting a bike. Nothing I love more than freedom. Bikes just radiate endless freedom. The wind, the smell, two wheels, the ability to go anywhere and go around people. Its all about the road not the things you bring with you. Love it.
This is your best video yet!
Small update brother.
MSF no longer provide gloves (at least here in Colorado)
So, boots, gloves, long sleeves, jeans and you're set.
ATGATT!
Ride safe bruh and i hope you can enjoy the FZ soon!
I'll add that MSF in South Dakota does not provide gloves, but will generally have some on hand to loan out in case somebody forgets them for the day....but definitely not provided.
MtnMoto Same in Florida. You have to bring everything yourself except the bike.
MSF in Cali doesn't provide gloves either. But military can take the MSF course for free.
agreed, I was required to bring all gear myself, so check first
MtnMoto same in illinois bring your own gloves
It’s simple, I love the wind, a windshields a and b pillars block the views, and it feels good like a self esteem boost
Just finished my endorsement classes and waiting on my license. I'm hooked... lord save me now. Shopping for a decent beginner bike now
4 wheels move the body, 2 wheels move the soul. Nuff said.
On Mexico, when I bought my motorcycle I went to get the permision to have a motorcycle license, when I got there, on the bike, the officer told me "did you ride the bike to get here?" "I said yes" then the guy told me "then I guess you know how to do it whitout killing yourself" and gived me the license that same day, whitout making any exam or test.
This is a great video! Very detailed and helped me ALOT! Thank you so much Yammie!!!
I'm a 28yo Vietnamese dude who's been riding around in a 125cc moped for 11 years at this point, and i'm seriously thinking of getting the MT03 as my starter bike. This vid has got me thinking about much more: gear, insurance, rider skill. Thanks, Yammi!
When i grow up i'll have ridden motocross for years, this is my first motocross season at age 11! It's the dream.
Vicatoren hows that motocross going bud? Still going at it?
Hey 13 year old. How you doing with motorcrossing?
Rule #1: "Once the throttle is cracked open. It is rolled on evenly, smoothly, and consistently throughout the remainder of the turn."

My wife and I are looking at buying brand mew bikes for our first time. We been doing so much research and planning over the last year and it’s finally getting down to the wire!
We are both looking at a YZF R3 and I feel like we are going to have the time of our lives!
Glad this is the first video i watched lol. Ive already got an expensive pc hobby, but ive always wanted to experience the road in a different way. There’s something more human about being on a bike and going to a taco bell than driving to one
*me watching this at 14 JUST in case* 😳
same
That was me 4 years ago man, now I ride a rebel 500.
13 lol
"Before you go apeshit and buy whatever bike you see" Lol I picture someone frothing at the mouth tossing cash about.
The streets of my town are a dream, big roads, no traffic and great roads
Been riding dirt bikes and mini sports since i was 3. Getting first street bike soon. Just love the road
0:50
i like the risk that comes with it
it makes it more fun
I started on a 2018 turbo Hayabusa 4 years ago. I would recommend everyone start out the same way.
Hey Yammie, thanks a lot for making these vids. They are awesome and informative!
Of all the many videos I've seen so far, this was super informative and helpful. Great fn job and animations 😎🤙
I highly recommend riding dirt before you get on the street. you don't have to worry about everyone else, just yourself. my son's first Street bike is a 72 honda cb500, $15 a month for full coverage insurance. it also looks like a beast after we turned into a cafe bike
Mike Mays I'm looking to get a bike and that's what I've been doing. I go out for the day and spend the morning playing with the clutch/gears, I'll stop and go, and ride some trails. Then, I have fun on the bike and play on the tracks and try some more aggressive riding. I've found it very helpful and you get to have fun (like you said you doubt have to worry about anyone else)! Win-win
15$ for insurance !? Damn, that cheap
SovetskyCCCP yea! Like what kind of insurance is that?
Yes!! Yes!!! Yes!!!
That is what I did!!! It's easy as after dirt and all of the skidding and the sand.
Awesome video, man! Last week I picked up my first bike, a Shadow 600, and I fucking love it.
mgpBLARG
And you ride?
Arthur Sperotto I had a shadow 600. the reason I traded up was the 4 speed. I loved that thing, it never broke down and sounded badass. dank woolies bruh!
The Shadow 600 is a nice first bike.
Arthur Sperotto The guy who made this video would call you an idiot for grabbing a 600 for your first bike. js
+Arthur sperotto. congrats on your first bike!!!! be safe ride on!
I just got a Honda c125 supercub. I live in Massachusetts, and bought it in New Hampshire. So my first time ever on a motorcycle, I rode it from NH to MA. About 57 miles. It was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. No riding experience, traffic everywhere, and was lost most of the time. That was two days ago. Today, I rode for about an hour. Got it up to 55mph, which is near top speed on my bike.
My best friend let me have my first ride on his bike and I just fell in love with riding a motorcycle in general its becoming a passion all i think is bikes, i also found that i loved the sport bike more than i thought i would
Since MSF courses are closed in CA right now, I went to the DMV and got my permit. Just cant ride at night or on freeways and im getting a lot of real world practice.
Dude, you just get there and they hand you the license? No classes, no tests? Crazy
@@jorelplay8738 You have to take a 30 question test for the permit. But it allows you to ride any type of motorcycle. So i can go buy a turbo busa and ride with only my permit.
@@nickhermo2936 wait so you didn’t need to do the skills test?
@@jagkailey4986 for a permit there is not a physical ride test required. No night time riding no passengers no freeway riding. You'll have to take the actual ride test or MSF course for the license. But the permit to ride during the day alone is just a multiple choice question test.
You can legally obtain your license without taking the safety class. Safe ridding is really something you learn on your own anyway. The only real benefit to the class is the cheaper insurance.
Disagree. The most important thing you'll learn from the class is defensive riding. Everyone in a cage is trying to kill you and you need to know how to avoid it.
Neat i also live in north texas, im about to be getting my first bike here soon, glad i found the video. Cheers bud
Watching the nighttime driving part gave off a really cool vibe and idk why
when i went to the msf course every single person had been riding dirty before they took the class.
how's your neck buddy? hope you recover well :)
Really enjoyed your video and found educating as i am 50 yrs old now and have done everything as you advised getting my CB500X next month have done the course got the gear and now the bike after eight months of research keep up the good work going to subscribe to your channel best of luck from Ireland.
I like riding since I was a kid in the Caribbean. when there's traffic I can easily get thru traffic when traffic is at a stand still and the great gas saver.
WTF! In germany u usually pay 1300€+ only for the license
1306$ for plates, 100+ for the licence and 250~ for the insurance in canada quebec for a super sport
Minimum! Then you have to pay 1300€+ per month for sportbike insurance!
max1manus jeez.. and i thought Germany is expensive.. but then again Minimum wage Here is 8.5€ so it all kinda equals out
And it takes waaaaay more time too. One weekend licence wtf?!
also , you could not just get a 1000cc bike as your first bike :D you need to be 24 or older AND have to had a 600cc license for at least 2 years :x
I have a recommendation for reading once you have some experience under your belt and want to get REALLY good at practical riding
Motorcycle Roadcraft: The Police Rider's Handbook
Cops ride their bikes day in and day out doing everything from high speed traffic stops and chases to responding down twisty roads to extreme low speed riding. It won't teach you how to do dank whoolies or how to shave a couple seconds off your time, but it will teach you what you need to able to become a safer rider where it counts. $15 new on amazon, $18 on kindle
Note, this book is UK oriented. Laws may differ, teachings do not.
My first bike was a Honda Interceptor 700. V-Twin. The nice thing about a v motor versus an inline motor is that it produces torque down low but not a high-end revline which can get New Riders into trouble. If you want to have a fast Supersport looking bike that's going to be safe for a new person the Interceptor is a great choice
When you said that life is to short to spend it impressing someone else . That really changed my way of seeing things
fr you just gotta do what satisfies you 😎
Is going fast a good motivation?
tzint56 Tha best.
This is my reasoning 😂
As an artist, im impressed woth the drawings lmao
i watched so many motorcycle vids where they be yours or others, idk why but when i stop i always feel like i need to know more, even if i keep hearing the same stuff over and over lmao
I’ve been riding for 6 years and never herd of “a twist of the wrist 2” until I was cruising your channel. I bought both 1&2 from amazon, and had a riding family movie night! That movie should be required viewing for the MSF class!!! Just moved from a HD softail to a Triumph street triple. This bike kicks sooo mush ass! I am now a Triumph fanboy 😍
Thanks for the recommendation papa Yamm
I started on a 600cc and I love it
Which 600 was it?
Same. Started on a f4 and am still loving it.
ChickenBrainOnAStick it was a 2001 honda f4i. fast light and not to twitchy though
Ramos do you still have it? I been riding for 4 months now thinking about buying the r1s
Damn dude you're already wanting more bike? I have also been riding for 4 months, about 4k miles so far and im still content with the power. 2nd gear at 13k feels like plenty to me. I'm 18 and plan on keeping it all throughout college.
as my first bike I bought a Kawasaki GPX 400R (EX400 Ninja)
Before I ever rode a motorcycle I picked up this crazy neon leather padded motorcycle jacket from the '80's at my local thrift store. It was by FAR the warmest jacket I ever owned, including a parka. I remembered that when I went out gear shopping. Leather is cool, but often it's not practical.
I just got a 83 cb1000c for my starter bike, it's got plenty of power and it's a bit heavy (so am i) but it feels great and it fits me perfectly and I'm pretty sure I got a good deal.
As for my motivation, I was born to ride.
I want to ride so I can escape everything an everyone may met another riding buddy in the future but just me an the open road on an R6 is what I want mostly, for fun but adventure on my own it's the goal
Dank woolies
Because my dad has rode about 30 types of motorcycles in his life and my first time riding one was on a dirt bike,i just fell in love with the adrenaline and “fear” so u want one
I bought an old JAWA 634, 2 stroke, 350cc..... it's clearly from another era... but I love theese basic old machines, and I understand them. So for me its the best motorcycle ever!
