what motorcycle are you riding ?

0:35 RED LIGHT !!

That's the biggest hill you can find?

Can you use your front brake to pull off on a hill???? Or is it dangerous??

Why does no one talk about riding up a steep hill around a corner on a motorcycle??? do you just slow down for the curve and keep the speed through it? Bc you can't brake throughout the whole turn when your going up hill

Thanks. #OneMessageFoundation

I appreciate the honesty. Seems like a well rounded opinion. I rode dirtbikes and quads as a kid so my ego tells me I can handle a 600 but my ego also tells me I will pin the throttle and get myself hurt. It only takes one minor mistake. I'm going to either look for a 300 or 650 depending on the price. I'm also curious which gets the best gas mileage. 300 or 650?

What's the best gear to go uphill on a bike

RIP motomikey

I love my SV650. Gets about 75 hp. It toasts most cars on the streets up to 100-115 mph ish. After that the quick cars are faster.

That's fine with a lighter bike like the one in the video but with a very heavy bike it's often not practical or safe to only have your left foot on the ground at a stop - especially on a hill. I ride a huge Triumph Rocket 3 Touring (2300 CCs) that, as setup can weigh 1,000 lbs. It makes a HD seem tiny in comparison. With my wife and I on the bike the total weight can be over 1300 pounds. I always put both feet down at a stop but I easily make perfect stops and starts even on very steep hills. I hold the bike in place with just the front brake. It's an easy matter to give it a little gas while still holding the front brake. Then I ease of the front brake while feathering the clutch until the bike won't roll back when releasing the brake and then I take off as usual. So saying you have to hold the bike with the rear brake isn't really true. A really big, heavy bike often requires both feet on the ground at stops and using only the front brake is really quite easy after just a little practice.

9 minute video?! make sure the bike is in first gear hold the rear brake with your right foot, with your left foot down friction zone the clutch till the nose of the bike starts to dive down a bit, give it just a bit of gas take your right foot off the brake - off you go!

I live on one so I’m nervous going up it i think I may stall now down just a lil nervous

Great video, I recently encountered a wild steep hill that had a stop sign on top and it humbled me, appreciate the break down 🙏

Thanks brother!

Thank you, mate! This is very very helpful. I was so scared to death of a stall hapoening mid hill until I stumbled upon your very educational video. You are a life saver. I'm just starting to learn how to operate a manual motorcycle and this video helped me a lot. Cheers to you, mate! 🍻

Thanks for the viedeo mate! What bike is it?

thanks. I will practice this 🎉 pov is the best tutorial. been watching a lot of uphill vids and not enough. really need POV!

Thank you 🥹

Thanks Mikey, very underrated video. This helped a ton. I live next to a very steep hill with busy traffic, so I can’t sleep unless I know what to do if it’s a stop and go type of thing…

you just earned a sub I was really scared of how to ride a flyover in heavy traffic, avoiding the bike to roll back down thanks a lot man

thanks a lot sir.

It helps a lot

hi Mike, i live in spain where we have the european licences (A1, A2 and A), a1 u can get it at 16yo and its up to a 125cc at 18 if u get the A2 license u can drive bikes up to 48hp and at 20 u can get the A license (no restrictions) , next year im gonna be 18 and i want to get my a2 license, but i dont know if i should start on a 125 or a 300, cuz i personally think a 125 is underpowered , but my familiy told me a 300 is way too much.... what do u thik i should do?

Thank you

How does it feel like driving it, like is it heavy ? and how long does it take to find your balance ?
