I like this style of video a lot more. We can actually see the bike you are talking about (in the picture frame) rather than being shown a random clip.
Royal Enfield 650 twins should be on this list. Great retro bike at a phenomenal price. They've become one of the top selling bikes worldwide for good reason.
Really happy that you made this list! Both me and my brother are beginner riders. He wants a Ducati Scrambler, I’ve wanted a Triumph Bonneville since I was 14. Now I know which Scrambler to recommend to him 👍🏼 thanks papa yam
Yammie, there’s also the royal enfield’s, or Moto Guzzi V7. I have a Moto Guzzi V7 Stone so biased but they’re awesome. Quirky, stylish, but still reliable. Love it.
He’ll never get on a Royal Excrement, but I think if enough people remind him that Moto Guzzi exists and that the V7 III is better than every single bike on this list, maybe, MAYBE, MAAAAYYYYBE a Moto Guzzi will get into a video someday.
The Moto Guzzi V7 III has 54HP, 49 lbft torque, weighs 50lb less than the Bonneville, costs $3,000 less, is cheaper and easier to maintain, and has Brembo front and rear calipers and rotors and a Marzocchi fork standard. It’s better than any Bonneville in every way.
@@stargazer8916 Agostini Mandello already has pipes out for the new V7 850, and having put Agostini pipes on all three of my Guzzis, they improve the sound from “Italian V-twin but quiet” to “proper Italian V-twin”. Plus, at under $1000 for just about any pair of Agostini silencers, their pipes are way cheaper than Arrow or Akropovic or Yoshimura. Added bonus; Agostini Mandello is about a 15 minute walk from the Moto Guzzi factory in Mandello del Lario, and their pipes are engineered with direct input from Moto Guzzi themselves. Same goes for Mistral, if you prefer their sound or style.
As mentioned before, you really need to throw a leg over a Royal Enfield INT 650. Great bike for the money and a modern classic that provides stylish, reliable performance for under $6 grand!
As a 2015 Bolt C Spec owner, it's pretty great! I'm 6'2" and 290lbs and it fits alright for me and still pulls when I need it to. I got it "brand new" in March and love every moment of my last 1200 miles! Still waiting to finish restoring my 77 Wing before doing mods to it though.
I just want to thank you for convincing me to buy a naked 2nd gen Sv650 w a gxr750 front end swap. I’m totally in love, and it’s changing my life. You’re the man. Thank you.
Have a W800 Cafe here in the UK, absolutely great bike, both in handling and style, and also A2 license ready. I would choose it over a Triumph Bonnie or Thruxton anytime of the day...
@@klaasbloem I had a serious time (including many hours of test rides) choosing between Continental GT, R7 and W800 Cafe, gotta say, most people choose it just because: It is cheap. And quite honestly, you can feel the cheaper quality when you ride them.
I think he means that both are bad as a first bike as you’ll outgrow them super fast. However, both would be an amazing bike to let someone learn the basics on first (such as a friend, kid, wife, etc.) and then buy a larger bike of their own. You can also just buy one because they’re super fun if you’ve been into biking for a while.
Agreed, Moto Guzzi V7 is an exemplary first bike in general, and is far and away the bike to beat for being a classic styled bike. It wipes the floor with every bike on here save the Ducati when it comes to build quality, handling, and performance, and it whips the Ducati back and forth when it comes to the lack of repairs, high reliability, and ease and cheapness of maintenance that all Guzzis have.
For someone who's looking for a lighter/cheaper beginner motorcycle with classic styling, the suzuki tu250x is a thing. Just picked up one myself as my first motorcycle. The ride home was...interesting to say the least(first time riding a long distance on unfamiliar roads), but the smaller engine and lighter weight keeps me in control
Nice list. I also would like to add the Royal Enfield Interceptor. Driving that one for a while now and really liking it. Smooth ride, wonderful low vibration engine. Fun bike. 🙂
I'm glad you have the TW200. I have wanted one for years...but never pulled the trigger. You're an "Influencer," bro! Limousines full of starlets are in your future!
@@ABCABC-sq5db I agree completely. My bike's a vintage Suzuki ('88 Katana 1100) and I wouldn't even attempt to do any sort of tuneup work on it myself.
Yammie nailing the upload ritual here, placement, colors, substance. I will see motovloggers show a bike ride without having read the literature, so they talk while riding without knowing what to talk about. Not that the literature isn't often rubbish but still.
Have the w800 and it’s awesome. It’s probably the most authentic of them all. I have the icon full throttle and that’s a modern bike in an old coat. Same with most of these imho.
MY Classic Bike Faves on this this: The Kawasaki W has been a long time favorite for the CLASSIC looks, and the newer versions of the Triumph Bonneville's are looking much better these days now too.
Oh man.... I feel you missed a Royal Enfield interceptor 650 on your list. Good power for beginners, twin engine, cheap price, 3 year unlimited millage warranty, easy to mod and make it your own. I think you should give it a try and ride one, I'm sure you'll love it. It sure has it flaws but it really looks amazing and like a vintage bike. I really like your videos By the way!
@@yammienoob most people cant jump on a Bonneville or the W800 for their first bike as its above 650cc... this is the case for alot of European countries as well as Australia and New Zealand etc.
I bought a Vulcan 900 Classic for my first bike (new) and I get what you're saying about weight. Power is very manageable, BUT, man that bike is heavy standing still.
@@yammienoob you say the Kawasaki is popular in the UK but the Royal Enfield Interceptor is currently the best-selling bike over here and so it seems like an oversight not to even consider it, especially with your international audience. For what it's worth, I've never seen the Kawasaki out on the road.
@@yammienoob not sure a motorbike purchase is quite as throwaway as a hamburger, but I take your point. I haven't seen a bad review yet though, especially given the price point and I was curious to see what you thought.
Had the TW200 and it is a fabulous bike. But I'd recommend the Suzuki VanVan 200 for the sake of classic-ness. Essentially the same bike as the TW200 but, sadly, Suzuki stop producing them :(
Answer: cheap dual sports. I'm only 6'1 so I can fit semi-comfortably on "normal' bikes but if I had another 3 inches of leg I think moooost of my beginner options would be dual sports. Not %100, only been riding a few years, but it seems even small displacement ADV bikes seem to have a realatively tall seat height. Depending on the bike aftermarket seats might be an option, but if you want something to fit you out of the box I'd look into dual sports.
T-DUB for life son! since it's a normal framed bike, it's EXCEPTIONALLY good for chopping up. you can make some fire bombers, scramblers, cafe racers, etc... out of those things with very little work
Uhm small correction Yammie. The TW200 was updated in the 90s (I don't remember what exact year) to have fuel injection instead of a carburetor, and was given electric start around 2000.
Hey Yammie, want to give us your opinion on the Honda CB1100 EX? Best looking retro bike in my opinion. And probably the last air-cooled 4-cylinder engine we will ever see.
Honda quality goes a long way too. It's about the closest thing to my CB1100F from 1983 I'll ever see again, but HP numbers are far less than I'd hope for in a modern bike of that size.
Tim's Retirement Journey Yes HP isn’t phenomenal, but 90 HP is plenty for a bike that is not exactly meant to be ridden sporty. Although it would be interesting to see how much power you can squeeze out of this engine without running into heat problems or fail emission regulations.
@@cmdrratzass7305 it looks a lot like a very similar engine to what my CB1100F had and if I remember correctly our Canadian version had 112 HP. My current bike's a old GSX1100F and they made 136 so my guess is that Honda detuned the engine a bit for added reliability as well as the realization that most that buy it aren't going to be buying it to win races. 😎
Tim's Retirement Journey And the torque comes on earlier. 91 Nm at 5.500 rpm sounds pretty great, especially for a 4-cylinder. Paired with an extremely long 6th gear, that must be an awesome machine for cruising.
Papa Yam, how do you feel about the triumph scrambler? I saw you test rode one a while back, but with the rain and all the traffic it didn’t look like much fun. Did you ever get a chance to ride one again?
Window shopping/looking at getting my first bike & am definitely liking what I see/read about Triumph Street Twin. I know it’s a good city/highway bike. But when it comes to interstate travel/3-4 hour rides for day trips what are your thoughts? Still a good recommendation?
Hello from South Africa. Been watching your videos for a while now, finally ready to look for a bike. Have you got any advice on what to look for when buying a secondhand bike?
Hey yamm love your content. I have one of the most classic motorcycle from 🇵🇹 (camel Zundapp z3) and it's a lot of fun riding around in a motorcycle that doesn't have an electric starter. 😂
4:20 personal opinion, for your first bike don't get anything with chrome, and definitely nothing too heavy. A new rider WILL drop and scrape his (or hers. But let's be real it's his) bike, if it's heavy it's a pain to pick, if it's chrome it's a pain to see your expensive parts get demaged and never replaced to not scrape and dent new shiny expensive parts
800cc, 900cc engined bikes? Maybe it's the British sensibility (damn A2,A1 licenses) but those are far higher displacement than I'd recommend for beginners. Most of those (not the Monkey) would be perfect for a "I've learned my trade on my beginners bike... What's next"
I know, im from australia where you have to have a licence for a few years before you're allowed to ride anything over 650cc. All these bikes are pro level bikes
Yammie overlooks the fact that novices in England were not allowed to ride bikes with 40 hp, e.g. the Triumph Bonneville. One must presume that the genetic stock of today's beginners has somehow improved, so they can start with very high performance bikes. Good luck to them.
Im considering the XSR700 & the Scrambler Full Throttle/Cafe Racer amongst others, as my first street bike (I have some experience with Dirtbikes, I ride a YZ250). With the other scramblers sharing the same 803cc engine, why an ICON over the Full throttle/Cafe Racer? Just curious on your thoughts. Great Video BTW! Thank you.
Yam i got mu licence today i would not made it whithout all these funny videos to keep me in the moto comunity and for the people ho wondering i got a1 so only 125cc but its verry fun
The honda monkey is not a dressed up grom. The monkey was first produced in 1964, lt was a fairly populair moped. The honda dax is a better looking classic mini moped from honda, and available as new remake (50cc-125cc) from skyteam.
Ive been watching your vids for a while now and ive got to ask, what is your opinion on a 1983 honda nighthawk 650? I love mine, especially since i only paid 600 bucks for it

How's the maintenance?
Does maintenance really cost as much as they say?
Hey since noone else has asked, how are the maintenance costs?
What do the maintenance costs on this bike look like?
Clinton Atkins i have done the 1000 km maintenance it esa around 130 usddl. I have not had any issues so far

TW “200” is the absolute unimog of Motorcycle’s.
I got to ride one of these when I took my motorcycle safety course.... it was definitely fun....
You can go anywhere on a tw200.
Those tires give Hella good traction on any surface or angle.
Wouldn't the Rokon bikes be the Unimog? This is more along the lines of Jeep of Motorcycles.
As a car guy I know EXACTLY what you mean by this and that’s awesome
The Moto Guzzi V7 III has 54HP, 49 lbft torque, weighs 50lb less than the Bonneville, costs $3,000 less, is cheaper and easier to maintain, and has Brembo front and rear calipers and rotors and a Marzocchi fork standard. It’s better than any Bonneville in every way.
2021 Moto Guzzi V7 is now 853cc. 65hp , 53.8 ft lb. Other improvements. More better. (needs pipes)

Isn't the Bolt discontinued because Yamaha weren't inclined to make it meet euro 5?
What do u think of monster 800 2017 model as ur first bike??.......im thinking of getting one used !!
Dude!!! Moto Guzzi V7!
W800 is cool looking but I prefer the Ducati or Triumph
W800 is hugely overshadowed by the interceptor 650
I got my first bike , a Honda 1989 vt spada 250 it’s old but cheap insurance in Ireland
Ive been watching your vids for a while now and ive got to ask, what is your opinion on a 1983 honda nighthawk 650?
I love mine, especially since i only paid 600 bucks for it
Guys, don't hate me for what I am about to say, but am I alone with the thought that 90's Sportbikes look and feel the best?
What a brave and controversial opinion
@@yammienoob Probably I am a but biased because my dad owns a '91 Honda VFR 750F RC36. Rare bike over here in Germany. Don't know if it's the same in the states.
Kawasaki’s plastics were best in the late 80s- early 90s.
You think the xsr700 is a beginner bike??
Cb1100 ex might be a hard push for what is considered 'behinner' but I think it fits nicely next to the bonneville t100
Woaw, the man forgot Royal enfield 😳
Which are the most budget friendly bikes here? I want to buy my first 11:43 one and not make payments
Great video!!
How do these motorcycles manage to look so bare bones and yet weigh so much
Unpopular opinion: I don't think Yammie understands what "beginner" means.
Thoughts on Z900RS (as a second bike)???
I have it as my first bike and it is great. I'd say go for it
