      Guy told me to buy a black jacket because it looks better and i'd look "retarded".

  • @timothycoyne5874

    One of the best things the Big 4 ever did, both for themselves and for the motorcycling community, was to start making lower powered bikes which still resembled supersports. I think too many beginners shied away from better beginner bikes because they looked dorky. Once 250-350cc bikes that looked like a 600cc sportbike became available, more people were successfully introduced to the sport without breaking the bank for the bike and insurance, without scaring themselves to death, and without needlessly dying.
    There will be tons of people who say they started on a liter bike or a full dresser and they were fine, but if we’re being honest, no one in their right mind would recommend those bikes to a new rider. Thankfully, better options are available, and they’re even fashionable enough for beginners to opt for them.

      Yea in 89-95 a 600cc sport bike was a decent choice but not much after that the average 600cc sport bike was no longer a decent beginner bike. One of the issues is that they are so well handling and easy to ride new rider's get a false sense of confidence on them, in my opinion of course for what that is worth.

Unfortunately, some of the dealers just saw $$$. One of those guys bought a Busa. He's fine, don't know if he ever crashed it, but I don't really think that he enjoyed it all that much because it was just stupid fast and twitchy.

    When I was stationed in Arizona in the day a salesman sold the brand new ZX11 to a private who had never rode a bike. Convinced them to put pipes, rims and a aftermarket windshield on it. They had to show he could ride a bike for him to pick it up from dealer. He rode a circle around the parking lot on my KZ900. The bike ZX11 was totaled leaving the parking lot. He twisted the throttle turning out did a wheelie jumped off, the bike hit the curb on the other side of street flipped and self destructed. Good times.

He said he was on a 600 Ninja,flying up an on-ramp and there was a semi in the nearest lane, so he ended up laying it down on the shoulder at 80 mph. We asked him why he was in the shop. "To get a Ninja 1000!" he answered. I wanted to get some life insurance on that dude SO bad. My buddy and I still talk about that guy and that was 30 years ago.

    I started on a 2015 cbr300r. I moved up to a 2017 zx6r and then just recently moved up to a 2019 hayabusa. In a time span of 5 years. I’m glad I did. It was a learning curve. It made me respect the bigger bikes more. I definitely recommend starting out smaller and working your way up!

    I got excited about riding after seeing a review on a Hyabusa, so I had a dealer try hard to sell me one before I even took the MSF. I decided not to buy anything until after the MSF and getting my motorcycle endorsement. After MSF, I had another dealer try to sell me an R6, but by then I've watched a bunch of TH-cam vids on the subject. I ended up with a Versys 650 and had it for a year, before trading it for an FJ09 that I still have. Videos like this could potential save lives, so thank you for doing what you do.

    This was a great “feel good” video. I really believe our motorcycle community has some great people out there and this kinda proves that. Not saying there’ aren’t some bad apples out there, but for the most part, well you know what I mean. We’ve all heard the stories, even I have quite a few. Honesty of the rider or new motorcyclist is a big one here. You were more honest than the, sorry but going to say this, the typical beginner motorcyclist. Like being a beginner is something less than adequate or something, man gotta get over that. Everybody starts some time, and I think we all want everyone to have success and the same joy we have when riding. So to all those new riders or riders riding for a long time but with little experience, just be honest with yourself and other motorcyclists. After renting motorcycles and being a tour guide for several years I can’t tell you how many people signed up for rentals or even tours and embellished or flat out lied about their experience levels. I know you’ve heard this too (daily). Most of them you can weed out, but some do slip through the cracks and end up on a bike (or ride) they shouldn’t be on. BTW - It never ends well. MSF, HD and several other safety and skill advancement classes are out there and all of them share the same goal. To make you a better rider and to help you bring the maximum enjoyment to your riding. Think of it this way, if your going to try skydiving........ Be honest.
    Great vid, stay well and ride safe. 🤙🏼

    When I was looking at bikes I had no experience, the only place that was dishonest was the local car dealership that decided to open a bike sales shop. I was looking for a z650. They tried selling me a z900 with aftermarket parts. Salesman claimed that it's all throttle control you'll be fine. While some of that's true, you can't expect a new rider to know how to control the throttle smoothly when he/she has never done it. New riders are prone to panic grabs and making mistakes. Big bikes are not forgiving in that aspect. Also there is something to be said about starting on a lighter bike. Ended up buying a z400 from a different dealer. I was laughing internally when they suggested the z900 after had been doing research and sitting on multiple bikes I knew it was about the sale not the customer. Still wish I got the z650 as the 400 has served it's purpose but maybe I'll be ready to move up to the 900 now I have my riding skills down and experience.
    So new riders do yourself a favor. Get a smaller bike first and and ride for a few years. That way you're not spending a lot of money on something you don't know you'll like, you have time to develop skills needed to operate a bigger bike and when you do drop the bike it doesn't cost so much to repair. Also you're less like to get killed if you're going slower. Ride within your limits/skill.

    This is a well-conceived video. For my first bike (and first salesman) I bought a 1994 Honda CB750 nighthawk, right out of the box. I went in looking for power and speed, and had money to burn. The salesman sat me down before even looking at bikes, and we had a conversation about my lack of experience, my intentions for the bike (I was going to purchase then set out for San Diego from Chicago), and (oddly) my assessment of my sense of restraint. I wanted a fast sportbike. He flat out told me I didn't understand anything. He talked about the realities of a cross-country trip, the importance of ergonomics, and how I planned to use the bike once I got out west. He refused to sell me anything faster and more powerfull than the Nighthawk. Best salesman I have ever encountered.

    I don't often talk about this, but your video hit home for me. In 2001 I had finished my first tour with the Army. During that enlistment I had purchased a Suzuki Marauder. It was an 800cc bike and I absolutely loved it once I got used to the larger engine. Up to this point, I had only ever ridden way smaller in the 350-600cc range. So there I was, on terminal leave and thinking about what my 9 to 5 should be while I was in the National Guard. I was always hanging out at the shop where I purchased my bike and knew everyone, so I put in an application to be a sales rep. At the end of my first month, I got into an altercation with our sales manager. The boke shop was just off the base, and there were a lot of young soldiers that found themselves with a lot of extra money (you can laugh, but for many of us those regular paychecks left us with money to spend). So these young kids would come in and they would instantly eyeball the TLR 1000 or the Hayabusa or the Honda R1, and NO RIDING EXPERIANCE. They took the riders safety course and wanted to jump right in there with the big boys. I would talk them down to bellow a 650, but 9 times out of 10, I wouldn't make a sale. My sales manager was chewing me out one morning before we opened and told me, "I don't care about what happens to them when they take the bike out the door. If they ask for a bike, that is the bike you sell them. These {expletive deleted) are fodder as far as I am concerned." I stood up, walked around his desk and punched him out of his chair. I took my shirt off and turned it in and told the office I would have the rest of my shirts back to them by the end of the day. When the owner started digging into what happened (in an effort to see about pressing charges against me) the other sales reps told him what was said. As a veteran, he took offense to this and fired the sales manager and called to offer me my job back. I didn't accept, but he and I had a long conversation about how the sales practices would change. Riding is an experience that should be enjoyed. You want return customers. You want them to recommend your shop to their friends and get them ridding. You customer base is not an expendable commodity or simply a paycheck. I say expose the bad ones. I fully support what you have done. Maybe more of these shady shops would straighten up if they knew they were being policed by a knowledgeable customer base. And now I miss my Hayabusa. Stupid hurricanes.

    I’m an old grey beard that started riding on a 305 Honda Dream when I was 15. A year or so later I walked into a HD dealership inquiring about a new XLCH Sportster. The owner of the shop laughed at me and told me when I wear out the 305 come back and see him and maybe then he’ll talk to me about buying a bike from him. That guy no doubt saved me life. I ended up going back to him two years later and bought a brand new XLCH from him. But that was way before the HD dealership’s became boutiques and were run by real bike riders. Take me back to those good old days.

I always wanted the best of whatever I bought, not knowing the trouble I was headed for. First of all, I'm 5'6". I was on my tip toes to keep the bike balanced. I was scared, but to proud to show it, so I had them load it up unto the back of my pick up. I eventually ended up crashing twice in my garage, dropped it a few times and ran into the back of a van which sent me to the hospital for stitches. I continue to ride and am now in the market for bike. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your labor and concern for the beginner riders while keeping these motorcycle dealers honest.

He wanted an R1 or CBR 1000. I spent an hour and a half talking to him telling him all about all of the bike. And sold him on a brand new just released R3. Went and got my buddy from the back had to come clean that I didn't work there. But he still bought the bike and my buddy tried talking me into a job lol.
