and we are still stuck with 165 cc bikes 🙁
Hello, ive been riding a 150cc japanese for a year now and want to get into super sports. Looking at all of these entry levels, the only entry level that really excites me is the ninja 400, but i already have some experience and want a long term bike, not just a 5 month 300 just to get a 600 later on. do you think i would be fine to hop onto a 600, like a r6, which i am a big fan of? Thank you.
Rc 390
I have r25… brother off the r3 wkwkwk
R1M, CBR1000RR SP, Panigale V4S and KTM EXC-F 500 are the best starter bikes. Don’t listen to anyone else.
I got my first bike recently–a Yamaha Virago 250. I’ve read everything from “no one should ever start on more than a 250” to “anything under 750 you’ll get bored in a day”.
Well, I’m not bored yet but I have to admit sometimes I’m wishing I had a little more size and a little more power. BUT–here’s the thing. I’m still learning, and with that I am occasionally finding myself making mistakes. Just yesterday I (stupidly) tried to downshift while in a turn and I felt that back wheel slide for a bit. This mistake was a little bit scary, but ultimately I was fine and learned a cheap lesson. I mention this because this is the kind of beginner mistake that I’m sure could have had much worse consequences on a more powerful, heavier bike, and I was pretty glad to have my “boring” 250 for that.
It’s also nice that at a little over 300 lbs, it is almost impossible to drop it. And I’ll say this–it’s a pretty bike, and with its V-Twin it really looks like a bigger bike (until you see it with me on top of it…)
Anyway, for my next bike I’m not sure if I want to stick with the cruiser format (maybe a mid-range Vulcan?) or go with something more standard like the Suzuki SV650, which from what I’m reading is apparently an amazing bike.
Man I don´t want to sound rude, but we are talking about “beginner” motorcycles, you really think the average 18 year old rider is going to spend 5.000€ on his first bike? C´mon you need to be more realistic…
In Brazil we have the Duke 190cc it is better for your first ride, but I guess you don’t have this kind od shit in your market, hun?
Thomos apn
i just wanted to ask for your opinion which is better the ninja 400 or the yamaha r3???
These are all ugly as shit bikes
how about mt 03? i kinda wanna get it for a first bike
Would a Honda Grom be a good bike for beginners?
What about the Honda Rebel 500?
I think might be better for beginner bike, because you wont get tired of it.
How did you guys start riding bikes? I want to get one but don’t know where to start/practice. I just know I’ll need a motorcycle license.
I guess you guys dont have rxz
I don’t even have a licence…
None of these bikes catch my eye at all.
I mma gonna buy a 750 Phantom as my 1st bike,THAT catches my eye as my 1st bike.
Really no Busa, what about an RC51! Not even an R1 as an honorable mention
Where’s the h2 at
Gonna be a new rider just hate to start out with a 300
Guess i can ride the brakes off it then get something a lil better
6000 bucks omg in my County turkey 50.000 tl Shiit. 1 dolar =6tl also extra government taxes
You say very little of substance. Most of your comments I could have seen for myself from a spec sheet.
this video is for older people or people who dont mind spending over 4k on a bike they wont have for more than a year. absolutely stupid to buy a brand new low power bike as a starter. get a old pos cause youre gonna drop that shit a few times and dont spend more than 2k on your first bike. SECOND is a different story, then you can drop more like 5-10k
Great review
Too much cc for beginner…! why don’t go for a baby Grom or 125 Duke.
The KAWASAKI 400 should have placed above the R3. I don’t understand that at all. They are the same price but the Kwai will leave the R3 in its dust.
Ok, new rider plz have $5-8k to blow. Damn expensive for a toy.
I respect them, but like most of the other things motocycle experts are not really good at recommending biginner motorcycles really. they know and experienced too much.
that’s not a beginner bike. all of them. they’re all kinda after-beginner bikes. the aspects should beginner bikes have is just cheap price tag.
don’t need any serious reliability or anything. ‘beginner’ thing is used for ‘get to know what you want’, not to grow on. if you grow on your first bike, you are just lucky. it’s like car. your first car’s duty is let you know what do you want for your car. no need for doing anything good. too slow? try sports car next time. too small? try big car next time. not too charming? try nice packaged car next time. too unreliable? try reliable car. not fun at all? try enthusiasts’ car. like this.
yeah safety is good. but safety? just stay away from two-wheeler. if someone is not stupid enough that someone will drive anything too slowly at beginner level. and if beginner drives something too fast because not knowing enough, it’s because the machine is too well made to give a dangerous feelings, and all the safety functions will not help anybody in that cases. especially motorcycles.
750 is a starter bike? lmao
What about Suzuki bandit?
2 or 3 years I’m getting the Kawasaki ninja I’m 14 so ya like 2 years
MT-03? NO?
oh yea the kawasaki z650 .. i made my motorbike licence on one of those and it really rides easy and smooth.
even for a beginner it felt like a bicycle just faster and heavier
They are all imports…
