nice MT-03

Bend your elbows a bit.

Some of us can't afford a 1000cc at 16 years old mate

Disliked. Stop being a lunatic

My "first" bike was a 1979 Suzuki GS1000L. It goes 55 in first gear. That is an insane amount of power for a brand new rider. No traction control. No ABS. No fuel injection. None of that stuff. I learned to not be stupid, because doing so would probably kill me.

I have a 1000 cc bike. No its not a rocket but it is smooth and secure feeling because of the weight, 550 lbs. However I do also love my 100cc XR for goofing off in the woods!! Its so light and nimble its just plane fun! There is a bike for all occasions. Why just have one?

Despite racing 50cc dirt when i was young, i started riding on my Honda XL750 beginning of this year. Has tons of low end power. Tops out around 120. But im also not stupid. I knew what i was starting out on. You gotta know your skill level and what you can and can't handle, and slowly push your limit as you learn the bike, in my experience, anyway. Been riding for 7 months daily commute and the biggest issue no matter what size bike you get is people on their phones.

Simply bad advice on so many levels.

Okay, listen, this is the order in which you choose your first bike: 1. Ergo, does the bike fit you? Go try different styles and sizes. 2. Safety equipment. ABS is a good idea, anti-wheelie, rain-mode. 3. Doesn't matter. 4. Enjoy.

U deleted my comment because it was critical? Lameass guy 💀

Of course it's a gixxer rider giving advice on novice riders to get a 1000cc superbikes as a first ride...

I disagree, a new rider shouldnt rely on technology to keep themself safe when they havent learned technique yet.

Started on an 2007 Fireblade, still here and alive. It's all about your mindset. That said, I'm not out here trying to learn stunting on that thing - too dangerous to learn on with all that power and no electronic aids. So with that in mind I think the ideal first bike is one that doesn't have too much power or costs too much - to the point that these factors are stopping you from learning and pushing limits.

nah, even though most litre-bikes are safer than the 600s from the 90s and 2000s with tc, throttle modes, cornering abs and what not, the sheer power will be overwhelming. if you're sensible then sure, any bike will do as a beginner as long as it is not too heavy. but that requires the rider to be sensible in the first place. i've just ridden an s1000r after 4 years of owning a 701 and that thing will scare you when you push it. god forbid you start on a super duke :> how are you going to gradually learn to use the power? you're gonna end up in the next ditch before you know it if you're a little hot headed.

I'm 28, I've been riding a motorcycle for over 12 years and motocross even longer. My opinion on this take is that any bike will do for a first bike for most common sense riders who have patience and will take time to learn their bike. at 18 I had a used 08 Yamaha r1, and that bike was at the time mental. But i was responsible at that age and didn't try going 160 down I-81, didn't try scrapping knees on the twisties nor was I popping wheelies in empty backlots. I had friends with more experience than me and professionals at tracks show me the more advanced tips and tricks for riding that helped me mature into where I'm at now. back in 17 I sold my r1 and got the new model r6 at the time to have more fun on twisty roads I knew and the track because by then I was very confident in my bikes and the roads I rode on. Now I have a Yamaha xsr900, I like still like popping wheelies which is nothing for that bike but I also find myself not needing to go mental on the backroads like I used to and don't go to the track as much now that I have two children. I enjoy longer rides and being more comfortable. Now with all that being said just to build some credibility here I don't think a 1000cc with all the bells and whistles is gonna be appropriate for everyone because a lot of younger people will not respect their bike and will wanna impress people which is a quick trip to the er and your bike on the back of a tow truck. It all depends on the person and how responsible and mature they are. I've helped many friends dial it back a few notches because they were getting ahead of themselves and some even had liter bikes as well. Would I recommend anything under 600cc to anyone with today's tech? Probably not because most people will get bored and with todays tech you can change how your bike preforms which is amazing. But it never hurts to get a cheap bike which you can learn on and let it get dropped without worrying about dents or scratches. My wife learned on a Honda rebel 250 my family had sitting around and that thing has more dents than a golf ball XD

I weigh roughly 155-160lb, on a 400cc that shit be going 118mph tucked the fk up. I don't see a reason to have such higher speeds imo. KS-1 a 250 be doing laps on us all...

Do people not understand what motorcycles are ? Let me explain : A power to weight ratio of a 689 CC MT07 is : 0.184 HP per lb A power to weight ratio of a Porsche 911 is : 0.115 HP per lb So you're telling me as a beginner, you would start on a liter bike which is perhaps more than the power to weight of a Lambo ? It ain't even about the safety, its like what the fuck are you even going to do with all that performance ? To be humbled by a bunch of 400cc on a track day ? That's just dumb as hell IMO but hey, most motorcyclist only knows how to ride in a straight line.

I wouldn't agree with this take. As much as your argument relies on the rider being sensible, it will likely put them in a position where they will struggle to build confidence. I started riding on a 600cc (4 cyclinder with a weak low end) and I don't regret it. If it were a 1000cc I would have been terrified of the throttle the whole time. There is a video on the skyoom YT channel illustrating this. Ironically he sold his bike after a crash because the loss of confidence was dangerous.

How do you man even get insured it must be loose over there, when I try get on a inline 4 600cc here with full license, man spent days phoning insurers just to be told there is no market for it. No matter how much I was willing to pay.

You can go over a hundred with a 300 too. Obviously a litre will be a lot smoother and you still have a bunch of torque over a buck. It is mostly if you wanna deal with the maintenance and insurance of a sport bike. I'd still recommend a cheap bike lower CC bike as your first, because it doesn't hurt your soul as much when you drop it. And you wanna get most of your drops on your learner and not on a super sport. I mean, do people actually buy super sports as their first bike and attempt to learn how to do full lock turns with them?

Seems reasonable

Such a vibe

2005 gsxr1000 for me dog‼️

I dont know what blud is yapping about, but I love the videos 🤎

If you have any tips for the GoPro audio or the sounds quality in general lemme know, appreciate yall❤.

Hey I was there lmao

Just cant do turquoise rims…..not bad on the R3 with white but black/black is the way to go. Still nice bike tho, just dont know what they were thinking.

so fiiiiiine

My last day was 82’ riding my Kawasaki H1 500 triple 🥳🔥🙌❤️

Congratulations l too started riding after graduation and still ride today 43 years later and still love the wind in my face but things happen fast on two wheels I've hit opossum's hit cats hit dogs hit birds and hit a bat once i hit bugs so big i thought some one was throwing rocks at me got stung between the by a hornet that bounced off sunglasses, i got hit with a lite cigarette butt someone tossed out the window it caught my helmet at the strap next to my ear i had gloves on went to get it out but pushe it up farther so i had to stop . A bro i ride with has hit 2 deer and rode away from the scene each time and it killed the deer. I have been hit from behind on interstate at 80 mph the man in the car panic and kept pushing me after i laid down from the beginning of the off ramp under the over pass and finally stopped about halfway down the length of the on ramp i got some road rash from that one . Things happen good leather and riding gear helps a lot for not if you go down but when you go down and check your bike regular wear and tear and stay away from traffic as much as possible. I have had some of the best times ever on 2 wheels the people and the place's live to ride ride to live

Be careful man last year a kid graduated the year after me and lost his life on a motorcycle crash heading to his graduation party

My last day was in 1985. I rode home on a 500 Honda interceptor and a 16-year-old that just got her drivers license went a red light and hit me broke my leg in a cast for 12 months and never went into the arm forces, be careful

Keep it real!

It's gonna be great!!!! The first step is to truly believe that, because life is what you make of it. Ride safe ✌️

hey man ive got an mt-03 too, a few things id suggest doing to it when you look into modding are the r6 throttle tube, bar end mirrors (cant stand the stock ones) and a cheap KO lightning ebay exhaust slip on (cost me 80$) All of those+ a Puig windscreen and it makes the bike so much more enjoyable

i just got midnight black two months ago. best beginner motorcycle imo.

what kinda mic and camera do you use?

small tip, don't death grip your throttle like that, you are asking for disaster, use more of a relaxed ice cream cone grip and roll on throttle with your fingers instead of your entire arm or wrist.

I feel like all POV riding motorcycle should be recording at 60 fps

You're recording in 4k but uploading in 1080p, If you're editing, render in 4K.

also from looking at 10:35 looks like your oils low :) not saying any of this as hate it’s obvious you’re a new rider and it’s awesome to see you out there! keep doing what you’re doing and ride safe!

Hey bro! sick to see a new ride out having fun! one recommendation i’d make is to be in a higher gear. you’ll have a lot more control at average speeds and it’ll help with the longevity of you’re engine (and gas mileage)

W vid

When downshifting, while you’re learning make sure to be smooth on the clutch. People really do over emphasize the job of the throttle when rev matching. When I first wanted to learn rev matching, I thought that because of the name I had to blip the throttle to match the exact same RPM that I’d go in that lower gear but that’s not the case, that would be MUCH harder. All you’re doing is giving it some gas, to rev up the engine so that when you clutch out the engine is already on its way to get to that high RPM and doesn’t need/take energy from the rear wheel. I without rev matching when you downshift your rear tire is pretty much pushing the gears and moving the engine, that’s why you feel that jerk forward. So tips: don’t overthinking the blip, focus on being smooth with the clutch and slowly feeling out the gas. Also IMO easier to rev match on higher RPM but maybe that’s just my bike. Also key word is smooth not slow. Doing the process slow just makes it harder , cause when you pull the clutch your engine will go down to idle and you have to blip a lot harder. So I try to not waste any time from when I pull in the clutch to downshift and blip it and then at first smoothly letting the clutch out, don’t dump it

I am looking to buy a mt03

how much is insurance bro?

Its nice to see you growing as a rider, stay safe

So beautiful
