I'm about to start riding here once my gear comes in, but I spoke with a guy riding an R1 at my local Publix and I asked him what he could give as far as tips to a new rider. He stated don't buy a 1000 and watch A Twist Of The Wrist 2. He said every year he watches it as a refresher and it keeps him sharp. I got halfway through and man the knowledge that is there is priceless. The acting is B-Roll all day, but it's definitely a great start.
Why I love rideing so much is that fact that you have to have a clear head or it could mean death, I can hop on my bike a my head clears from all the stress because I’m focused on rideing
I was laughing so much when I heard the term "gynecological position found on many Cruisers...." that I had to pause play for a couple of minutes. Thank you Yammie Noob you made my day!
I've always said, "Wheelies are cool but a stoppie can save your life." Knowing your braking limits are FAR more important then knowing how hard you can yank the throttle.
Tip 1. Buy a Liter bike as your first bike. Tip 2. Full throttle at all times. Period. Tip 3. Dont wear any gear, t-shirt works just fine. Tip 4. Always run from the cops Tip 5. Dont listen to any of these goofy tips and you will be fine.
I'm a sport bike noob and planning to do some track days once the weather permits. I've been watching Simon Crafar's Motovudu - The Dark Art of Performance which is helping a lot! The challenge is finding places to practice where road hazards and cars aren't an issue. It took me a while but I found a new road which is just a loop but where nothing is built, so no traffic yet, and with smooth run-off and no roadside hazards.
another good tip with the throttle I was taught when learning is don't use a high grip on it greatly increase risk of whisky throttle for new riders keep your wrist lower down so it will close the throttle if your twitchy on it and throws you back
Yep, it’s that time of year. I remember back in 2021 when I bought my very first bike brand new and here I was watching all the noob Yammie Noob videos 😂 good luck to all the new riders this season!
It may not necessarily be the "correct" thing to do, but when I got my first sport bike, to teach myself proper throttle control and prevent whiskey throttling, I only kept two fingers wrapped around the throttle, and my other two fingers gripped the bar end weight.
I think the biggest problem with "Counter steering" is the term... counter steering for bikes is the same as the Scandanavian flick, where you turn away in order to turn in quicker and rotate the vehicle, using forward drive to push you around the corner rather than relying on lateral grip! where counter steering is the act of pointing the wheels in the direction you want to go during a slide... also known as opposite lock!
My advice for group riding is to let the "noob" lead so he can drive at his own pace, don't forget to ride in formation "The staggered riding formation allows a proper space cushion between motorcycles so that each rider has enough time and space to maneuver and to react to hazards. The leader rides in the left third of the lane, while the next rider stays at least one second behind in the right third of the lane; the rest of the group follows the same pattern. A single-file formation with a minimum 2-second following distance is preferred on a curvy road, under conditions of poor visibility or poor road surfaces, entering/leaving highways, or other situations where an increased space cushion or maneuvering room is needed". I think it can be a great experience for newest riders to ride with more advanced riders and enjoy riding with his/her friends.
also remember that it is better to practice the correct technique from the start than to do whats comfortable and then try to relearn. correct technique will be comfortable technique given some time
had a TL1000R .... back in 2004-2005 ... that was the only bike that had me focused instantly when swinging a leg over ... scary stuff mate !!! everything and anything else felt mushy... that was sharp and focused ... a blip of the throttle would wake you up ... it felt like it could kill you even when you're cruising.... don't ask for figures ... you know they were high 😂😂😂
Yammie, I ride here in the same city as you. I’ve been riding for about 7 years now but off and on. Meaning not always. Now I ride like everyday. I recently discovered the road near Volente. I would recommend that to a new rider or someone who is here in this city who just wants to learn their bike
I ride a naked bike, and took lessons on a naked bike and we learn to grab the tank from day 1. Never rode a sportbike who has hunched over ergo's or a supersport even. It seems so uncomfortable and somewhat more of a hassle due to the limited steering lock distance in comparison. Even though you corner by leaning and flicking the bike over but somehow in my brain that seems less doable 😆
Thanks for the video not a new rider been riding for 11years but haven't rode in 2 years so this was a good refresher as I'm going to get the triumph "Daytona"660 when it comes out to get back into it
My guy! Countersteering has feck all to do with "gyroscopic" anything. It works exactly the same as body roll in a car. For the same reasons too. Nothing mythical or weird about it.
love all your videos and they are all very helpful but there is very often little jabs at the ninja 400 hahaha i have seen your praise this bike many times as well i just think its funny how they always get a little dart thrown at em from time to time
Hey Yam! Can you make a video for affordable sport bikes anywhere from 125cc-1000cc anywhere from the 80’s-early 2000’s. I would love to have a I4 250cc from the 90’s screaming at 18,000rpm or even a 2 stroke.
Avoiding group rides is a cannon event- you have to see the stupidity first hand to comprehend why it’s not a good idea 😂 ride with people that you know/ trust
been riding now for many years, on and off. after watching an earlier video and paying a bit more attention to it, i realised i have been counter steering into corners without even realising it. is that good or bad habit that i should take more notice of????
The body position stuff is huge. I currently ride a Suzuki GZ250 (cruiser bike), but I want something faster so I test rode an old Ninja 500. I felt like a complete noob again, even though I have 2000 miles of experience.
Yammie please i need a bike to ride tours whit my partner in the alps but want to drag my knee if she aint on the bike whit me or when i hit the track what would you suggest and no two bikes arent possible
Do you want a new bike or a used one ? You could get a hayabusa , a concours 14, an fjr, a bmw k 1300 gt basically big bikes semi aggressive yet comfortable with great handling that can lean a lot . Dragging knee is doable on all of this but the geometry will be slower from a 600 or a 1000 puse supersport .

“Once the throttle is cracked open, it is rolled on smoothly, evenly, and constantly throughout the remainder of the turn.”
You go where u look. Most important thing I was ever told. Ever.
Great comment! I watch that video at the start of every new riding season! I own it on DVD. Can’t recommend it enough.
I've always seen that as how driving works as well. @@pitchforkpeasant6219

Your bike can run on monster energy in a pinch. Try that next time
I agree with 1 and 4 only 😁

Yes my guy I’ve been wanting exclusive sport bike content for years!
Very comprehensive and accurate. Investing in riding or track schools yields much higher dividends than an aftermarket exhaust!

that was sharp and focused ... a blip of the throttle would wake you up ...
it felt like it could kill you even when you're cruising.... don't ask for figures ... you know they were high 😂😂😂
Honestly I think this would be useful to more than just the new riders
You had an old Honda 500 Interceptor in here. How cool. I think it was an 86.
I had a 1984 1000cc
Grew up on 2 stroke dirtbikes got a honda nsr125r and the handeling is completely different came here for help thanks yam!

Tip for group rides. Least experienced rider always leads the pack.
I think the first thing I noticed was how light the sport bike was , it made turning feel so weird for sure
Agreed. Just switched from dual sport to sports bike and noticed that.
Just got my 2nd bike (2022 gsxs750) after a 30yr break… needed this!
Why wasn’t tip one buying a turbo hyabusa??
Well that one's just common sense
I ride a naked bike, and took lessons on a naked bike and we learn to grab the tank from day 1. Never rode a sportbike who has hunched over ergo's or a supersport even.

Thoughtful and well planned out video. Really great advice!
Great tips Yammie, love the content, Love from Brazil 🇧🇷 ❤
Props for working in the word “gynecological”
Very helpful info.
This post is actually helpful. Thanks! 👍🏻
i love yam but watching the videos on 1.5/75 speed is so much better, the videos are so slow paced

Crash was so bad I feel like a new rider again.
Sport bikes are the safest bike to ride. You have the most control and ability’s of any motorcycle. Stop faster dodge objects better and your faster
Perfect timing. Just switched from dual sport to sports bike. 🦑
Now do one for naked bikes
This was great. More of this
love all your videos and they are all very helpful but there is very often little jabs at the ninja 400 hahaha i have seen your praise this bike many times as well i just think its funny how they always get a little dart thrown at em from time to time

Can you do a video on naked bikes next? :)

The duck scared tf out of me lol
Thinking about starting on a CBR650R; will have dirt bike experience prior to this. What do you recon?
Do it. A 650r will be easier to grow into than a full super sport, but still treat it with due respect; it's still a quick bike.
@@ayowser01 I’m also going to get some Grom Experoence too?
Why’s the guy at the MSF have in helmet on and one on the bike?
Throttle may be everything, but then so are the brakes.
okay yammie didnt ask
Never speak to the great yammie noob in that tone of voice ever again sir
@@DiamondSquidytechnically he isn’t speaking
Hey, that's not nice, be kind to the wise Papa Yams
@@alazar9612 listen here sir 😭
Ok
keep watching yammie noob i mean it now !
Should I get a xsr900 or a gsxr 750
I saw that the magnets were too strong in the Rokform and were interfering with the wireless charging. Any experience with this.
Ok so you rear brake in corner while using little throtle ?
Gynecological riding position of cruisers. May as well call them stirrups instead of foot pegs
The outro seems legit 😂😂
It would be interesting to see a comparison video on the Ninja 400 and 500 similar to what you did for the 400 and CFMOTO 450ss
I'm sure it'll come when the 500 comes out in the US.
They are same HP and Torque specs despite one being 399cc and one 451cc.
How many years can MotoGp use the same set of tires?
A @motojitsu clip. Love it.
Bro make a video on best bikes for world tour
Ok fine ig I do need a Rockform phone mount 🤷🏾♂️
been riding now for many years, on and off. after watching an earlier video and paying a bit more attention to it, i realised i have been counter steering into corners without even realising it. is that good or bad habit that i should take more notice of????
