- Here's a list of some cheap used sport bikes you should avoid as a new rider. I like all of these Sport Bikes, but not for new riders.

My channel is about motorcycles. Specifically sport bikes, but I love any and all motorcycles. If you're into motorcycles too, welcome to my unique take on motorcycles and the motorcycle lifestyle.

Just sharing, I passed my motorcycle license.
congrats man
How was it? Like fr what is some of the things they have you do?
@@bruddamanlo9036 computerized exam (about traffic rules and regulations)
Practical exam (ride the bike in obstacle course).
@@bruddamanlo9036 If you take the MSF class, you can pretty much pass if you can
1. emergency brake
2. make a u-turn
3.shift to second and then turn.
That's the majority of it, you have two days to practice with instructors, it's really not bad if you've ridden a bicycle before.
@@Ha-fy6zv thanks to you and bro for the advice but yea just wanted to get to know more on it from other people cause yea i started getting into bikes last year and getting more info on stuff as much as i can 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
I am a new rider at age 71. I just bought a Honda Rebel 500 and I love it. The Rebel doesn't seem to be the kind of bike you feature on your channel but I really love your presentation style and great knowledge of motorcycles. Your enthusiasm is very contagious. Congratulations on your great channel you deserve the growth you are seeing. PS: I really enjoyed seeing some videos featuring your mother. She is a great sport. God bless, ride safe.
That's so cool sir
Legendary mate, love how you put together your clips, especially how honest it comes through. Speaking of watching older content... Loved the short clip when you were roasting anyone driving an auto, was a great laugh. Keep up the great work Adobonosity👍🏍️
You should make a video on how to shop for a bike mainly used bikes to start on and kinda like buyers beware and what to look out for when shopping for a used bike
awesome video man. I have already decided my first bike is going to be a 2007 GSXR 600, but this video solidified my choice! Thanks
Nice and concise. The more I watch your videos, the more I realize how underrated the RSV4 is. I think the only reason they're not more ubiquitous is the spotty dealer network.
they're also just too cramped for anyone taller than the lovable manlet making this video
And the reliability.
Love it! You speak the Truth! I loved Washington on my RC51, Hwy 20 from Burlington to Winthrop w a Lil pit stop at Lake Diablo! Fugettaboutit! Awesome content bro, keep it up!!
Love these informational videos.
I agree the Gsxrs are super rider friendly. Makes me feel super confident. That was my third 600 and had a R6 and CBR 600 now ride a current gen CBR1000rr.
Got my first road bike on the weekend cbr 600f4, i love it. Also your video's have been really helpful. Your a likeable dude. Cheers from australia 🇦🇺
Loved my zx7r. Very confidence inspiring. But getting slightly older, just became a bit to unenjoyable going at low speeds. Got a z1000 atm, still sports focused but much more usable for everyday riding. Would be hard for me to go back to a super sports now.
Some good insight in this vid, I bought a 95 speed triple 900 for my first road bike and looking at the more sport style 600s for my next one. Also I just moved away from Tacoma so I'm looking out for that next moto vlog!
I started on my Daytona 675 😅
And got my 848 2 months later.
That was 3 years ago.
I want an RSV4 Factory.
Adobo always putting some great content
Adobo… you rock… plain and simple, and even if it for me solely, you’re an ol’ Homy! I love your style and of course your content! Keep rocking, oh and I owned a Gixxer 750…. The sweetest ride I could’ve ever owned!
Great video man. I'd be keen to get your take on small displacement bikes. We tend to get hung up on the big bad bikes out there and forget the fun little dinky bikes that got us to where we are.
Well I guess I’ll be subscribing and becoming a member. Have you done a video on riding suits? I remember a short on cleaning them but not how to pick one.
Good stuff, agree the interceptor is a great bike and worth it if you want it. One of the best looking bikes with oem color matched storage. I’d add every MV Agusta that exists in the avoid category.
Love the video man !
I just bought a 13 gsxr 600 as my first sports bike after watching your videos for quite a while now. Hoping to build awesome memories with it. I really like your content, keep it up brother. 🖤
You really need to tone down your opinion on if a bike looks good or not. Like your videos and watch all of them. Just gives me bad vibes with the negativity. Great production and all your points are valid. I’m sure you are going to build a big following. Best regards, Jesper from Denmark :-)
Thanks. Looks is a make it or break it for a lot of enthusiasts. If the bike you ride doesn’t make you turn around and stare, it’s the wrong bike. Don’t let my subjective opinions sway you..if you like it, that’s all that matters
Awesome input bro! Been riding a motorcycle back home(PI) when I was younger. And I've been thinking about getting a GSX-R 600 since I moved here in the US. Salamat!
I agree on the RC51 comment 100% it's super reliable and a blast to ride. I have a 06 with all the upgrades and it's a ton a fun. A pro and a con is that it's under powered. So you really gotta be on it but it sound glorious. They say it's a "riders bike"
The main reason I subscribed and the main reason I am currently commenting is because you speak unbiased facts. I have had all type of bikes but I started on 2017gsxr 600cc. I have never gotten a ticket. I never had an accident, nothing!!!! I accredited it to Yahawah and starting on that Gsxr 600cc. I'm on haybusa now and I'll never ride anything else.
Great info 💪🏻
Let me tell you, I bought the ZX12R brand new and still have it! It's reliable as all get out! Its fast, great power and stable! Those who had had a ZX12R will know! The reason it a bit heavy, is for the stability at very high speed. It ain't no touring bike either! I have a GTR1400 for that. Ive done some high miles when it was my only bike, my wrist and back side was barking a bit. But it was still awesome!
100% i also had a a1 galaxy silver 12r, bought it from a ex police officer lol
Amazing bike, i did the works to it and is still a empty spot nothing else will fill.
I searched for about 8 months trying to be patient but never found what i was aftef. I ended up on a 09 zx14. Yes the 14 is noticeably heavier than a 12r, imo the 12 feels light to me and always has but the 14's low speed maners are heavier. I'll also add that i thought the 12r had amazing torque down low but the 14 stomps harder than my old 12r. The extra cubes are noticeable, I'll also say that the topend pull feels stronger and i didn't think that was possible especially with what i had done to it, I'll say that although the 14 can handle really well, i had my old bike setup to be a very quick streetbike and it handled like a dream although suspension was oem/modified.
Keep the 12r foreverrrrr, i wish i did lol
@@hollowsesh90 no doubt! Im just had the quick shifter installed and the head gasket replaced. Just bought new tires and front and rear wheel bearings. I also bought the PC V . The brakes are getting done as well. Yeah, it just one of those bike imo. It just does it! I had it since brand new.
Not sure how you can recommend against bikes that you know very little about. My ZX7R is 27 years old and I have it in my possession for 23 years. Very reliable. Still absolutely love it. And with the right tyres, it handles extremely well and can still compete with modern bikes, despite its weight of around 230kg. For fast road use, or on a track. I'll admit that it might not be the best bike for new riders, because of the furiousness of the carbureted engine. It packs a mean punch.
Love this video. My first bike was a ZX7R 1996. It was a great bike and very reliable as long as you keep up the maintenance. I had it up until 2011. And you're right, it was heavy ASF 🤣🤣🤣. Btw, that music in the background is 🔥
Did you ever carry passengers on this? I’ve had cbr600 1200 bandit and 1400 gsxf but I’m craving the zx7r I just wanna know how they are carrying pillions as I mainly ride with my gf
@@ianwilson8264 no, I never rode with a passenger but I'm it will ride well with a backpax
Great video and reasons for mentioning those bikes. Any recommended Naked bikes ? Thank you. Just got my license last Oct. 22 as well.
If you host a meet I’ll trailer my bike from Wisconsin to come ride with you! You are honestly the first Moto blog channel I have connected to sence the yummy r6/ chase on two wheels dual adventure Moto blog series!
Appreciate that. My goal is to grow this channel big enough for me to travel the US riding my bike around different tracks!
On point. Best i think is the CBR600RR but.... Haaaas to have previous experience on bikes cause that thing is a rocketship.
More videos bro , excellent posts 👍👏
Avoid anything with carburetors unless you want to become very intimate with carburetors. You mentioned a Honda F4i is a good beginner sport bike. That would be an excellent choice! An F3 on the other hand… not so much. You will have 4 individual carbs to work with when the needle and seats and/ or O-rings go bad. And believe me, they WILL go bad. I owned one of those bikes, ask me how I know. Great video! Keep up the good work.
Bro my dads got a Honda sp2 bit like the RC51 probably one of the best sounding bikes I’ve ever heard.
Great vit
Any fast liter bike is not a great idea for a new rider. There are some exceptions, but for most new riders you’re dancing with disaster. Build your skills before you jump on a 150+ mph rocket. Plus, younger riders pay a premium for insurance. Your 600 cc recommendation is spot on.
Will you be doing other kinds of motorcycles like scooters, dual sports, adventure bikes, etc? Given theres a grom already
The GSXR 600 was my first bike. In 1999 I was in the Marine Corps in Pensacola, Florida. My parents gave me $3,000 to put down on a car. I went straight to nearest motorcycle store and bought a 99 Gixxer 600! Blue and black
That's funny I owned a vfr but it was a 750 i think a '93 loved that v4 and single side swing arm. My vfr didn't look all dorky like a touring bike though. Got rid of that and bought a superhawk 996 .... pretty close to the rc51 in general concept. A big bore vtwin sounds awesome and endless wheelie torque.
Eyy tnx for that the 600s are the best beginner bikes. (got myself a 2021 cb600rr but sold it later on because it doesnt suit my riding style, i prefer tourings)
Ayoooo!!! Damn u take ur job seriously bc ur posting late at night so good for U man loves ya!
I’d like to add the 16 Suzuki Bandit 1250s abs as an honorable mention. Discontinued completely, parts are limited to OEM so yes the Suzuki tax. Aftermarket parts are extremely limited, most are only for the 07-11 models not the 16 model. It’s 550lbs wet and sits pretty tall so not ideal for anyone 5’6” or under. It has no gear indicator, the turning signals crush the fairings if they get pushed in (horrible design). It’s heaps fast which will get the blue boys on you and has very soft suspension making turning much more sluggish at speed. And yes this is the bike I learned to ride on, should have bought an R6 instead but I didn’t have another 4k.
My first bike is a gsxr 1000 k6 and im still riding that bike 35.000km so far in 3 years
What are your thoughts on the RS 660 as a new rider. Looking into getting one.
I would love to see you get out the 1198. I picked up a 2010 1198s last year with 700 miles on it. Love the bike. It's a very unique riding experience when comparing it to jap bikes. Definitely has its quirks and 100% agree that it's not a bike for new riders.
I started on a 1994 ZX7R that my buddy lent to me long term. That thing was a PIG! Long reach to the bars, top heavy, unpredictable counter steering; but man was it fun when you got into a groove.
Also my first purchase was a 2004 VFR800. Great bike, and you forgot that it had VTEC in the later models which was awesome.
Don't even have my motorcycle license, but just bought my first bike. 2022 Ducati 950s couldn't pass on the price. Friend was moving had to sell one of his bikes and I picked it up for 5k usd. Never wrecked or dropped 859 miles. He knew I was getting ready to buy one and threw me one hell of a deal.
675r is a GREAT bike, 2013+ model. But I also didn’t have any issues with it, so I can’t recommend it either.
Could you make a video on how to ride a bike at the limit of grip. I've been driving cars for a few years now I've gotten really good at dealing with understeer and over steer or even provoking it at thr limit on a car but honestly what scares me is dealing with the limit of grip on a motorcycle thank you!
I have a zx12r. The main problem is the monoframe. Makes it hard to work on it
The zx12r is the dad to the zx14r. It is heavy but they were efi which was good.
The thing you missed which should be on this list was the Honda 954rr. Great bike bit expensive for parts at this point and has entered that collectable position along with the 929rr.
Other options as bad first bikes for similar reasons as listed here...
Suzuki SV1000
Honda Superhawk
Suzuki TL/TLR
Kawasaki ZRX1100/1200
Honda CBR1100XX
Kawasaki ZX11/ZZ-R1100
All of these bikes are great, many of theme are getting to the collector level, most of them are going to have part sourcing tax put on them, but all are also awesome bikes.
It is getting sad going to bike events and never seeing any of these or any in recognizable condition.
I'm a newish rider LOVING my st1300's. Honda v4. It's heavy but I'm 6'2" 220lbs and not weak. It's comfortable.
The rc51 is a Sp1 and upgraded Sp2 in Europe as we used the WSB designation of the bike. Rvt I think is an US market. But these bikes didn't sell well over here due to the price and are now sought after and bringing good money (the sp2 more so than the Sp1) especially if you can find sn Sp2 in Colin Edwards castrol WSB colour scheme.
Lol I have 2 bikes on this list... VFR800 was my second bike (still have as my commuter) heavy but v-tech and that v4 sound... ZX7r was my third bike (still have but is a track bike) heavy but the most solid bike in the corners I have ridden, even on shitty contimotions! Parts for both are very very easy to come by, even up here in Canada!
I got a 99 gsxr 750 and its hard to find parts. Been rebuilding it. 97 and older was carburetors and the 98 started the fuel injected era
You can't go wrong with the old cbr250rr's aswell. All the boys had one in my younger days 🤣
I’ve had many many 675’s amazing bike very bullet proof and lots of fun
There is actually an oddly decent aftermarket for parts for the RSV Mille. The Rotax engine is really reliable.
Would love a meet up but live in cali, wonder if any bike groups take the ride up to washington.
Great list. I've owned most of them...and sold all of then, lol. That zx7r is a great ride, cult following....but carbs be my reasoning to push away from new riders as half the fools these days ride with damn choke open and foul it out in 3 minutes, lol.
This past week I bought my first motorcycle. 2007 kawasaki ZZR600. Best purchase I've ever made. Love this bike to death. Riding it makes me feel like I'm flying. It's got good power, but still manageable for someone that hasn't ridden outside of the MSF course lmao
Good choice! I have a 05 ZZR600 they’re great bikes, the only thing you have to keep an eye on is the fuel delivery system. The fuel pump relay can need replacing, symptoms including the engine bogging down while acceleration, and engine stalling while riding… learned the hard way. Also.. Carburetors. If you let the bike sit for a while, add fuel stabilizer. Otherwise the carbs will become moody… Apart from that, cheers! Enjoy one of the last carbureted 600cc middleweight Japanese sport bikes of the 2000s!
As an F4i owner i approve this message. For new f4i owners... > get the banana seat. Upgrade to 1000rr or other big bike later if u want to but keep the f4i. (U will eventually find yourself taking the f4i out more than liter bike...)
Been riding only for a year now.. riding a 22 rebel 500 abs. Im ready for a sports bike but Im short. 5’5. What are some of my options. Thanks
Thank you, saved me so much money! Was looking at a few different bikes, but all only have ONE spark plug per cylinder. Then I started looking at what models use 2+ plugs per cylinder and I ended up just buying a car.
How about SuzukiSV 650?... is it good for a begginer?
Whats your opion on a 1995 CBR 900rr weighting in at a little over 400lbs
I'm looking for a 2023 rs 660 extrema. Where are they in stock? Ordering takes 6-8 weeks... why so long? If it's a good bike, why isn't someone stocking them?
The 07 08 zx6r is my favorite bike for looks lmao the years they did the 2 small headlights🤣
Triumph 675 daytona is a super bike . Very reliable. Recall done on reg rec and stator . Other than that, there fantastic bike . Had one as my first bike . Engine is bulletproof .

Don't you talk bad about that ZX-7R you gixxer broke back mountain!!!
Love your content man
Only bike I would disagree on is a ZX7R, it is deffo very heavy, being well over 200kgs, but man, that Kayaba suspension is super precise and forgiving, with significant weight comes significant stability, but yeah, it’s not the prettiest.
Video suggestion, what are your thoughts on Harley Davidson/Indian cruisers? would you ever own or ride one? Alway's interested in other rider's opinion on them since I'm literally 25 miles from Harley HQ!!!!
I owned a dyna with an open primary and 103 stroker. And I’ve taken my bro’s road glide on a long ride before. I can do a video about this for sure
Hey what's your take on ktm adobo?
Tangina Bra Excellent Content as Always.
meron akong tanong, available ba ang Suzuki Raider 150 fi sa region nyo ???
There are a bunch of aprilia around me looking for the tuono ones the stupid 35kw restriction runs out
Those vfr are going for more than euro/ USD 5000 for a decent one around here.
I love gsxr's thinking about getting one but 1000 of course cause im not a beginner and i love the powe r they have.
funny, I was going to pick an RSV Mille next month (I'm still going to)
My first bike was a gsxr 750 , I bought it new in 1993 . What a heavy and slow pig , but it was bulletproof and dependable
Well if you ever have an interview in riding a TTS supercharged Hayabusa and then a Turbocharged Hayabusa back to back. Let me know and let’s get you down to Melbourne Australia
for my first bike im thinking about a yamaha mt-03? is that a good choice or should i look at other options
Its perfect
👆🏾 this
I know a guy with a RC51 in great condition if you want me to reach out. He loves it but although he always knew it wasn’t a proper liter bike being a v twin but when he rode his first Ducati 1199 & newest bike he was blown away at how much quicker it was and I think he kind of ruined the rc51 for him.
What is your opinion on 2002 yamaha r1?
Funny. I had a 97’ ZX7R I bought for 4K. I put 4K into it. Sold for 4K. Lost 4K. Fun nostalgic bike, yet uncomfortable and unreliable due to age! I took it to Biketoberfest in Daytona for Halloween 21’
Bro the triumph daytona 675 is the most beautiful 600cc class sport bike ( my opinion ) I heard that that bike is pretty reliable and quite easy to fix parts for it. Where did you hear it isnt reliable?
I bought a ninja 400 and I love it.
I love ding dong‘s for pulutan🍻 keep it up kabayan❤️
Can you research and review a legendary CBR954rr please.
I love the 954rr. It was my first bike and was totaled due to n00b crashing into me. It's light and fast.
How organize should one keep their motorcycle Keychain? What I am trying to say is can the vibration from the bike mess up my car keyfod?
I heard of phone cameras being messed up from motorcycle vibrations. I only have the moto key, not even a ring.
Got the vfr 800 as my first bike 😂🔥 amazing bike but it’s fucking heavy. I’m a shorter rider so I’m having troubles w/ that but other than that I love it
What about zx10rr 2008 is it good?
My advice is if you just want a bike buy one with a make that has the closest dealership to your residence just for the sake of making things easy for yourself, be it second hand or new.
I had a 97 ZX7R and it was a amazing for me as my 1st bike. But if you've never rode a bike before I wouldn't recommend it
The mille is a tank(reliable), parts are not abundant by any means, but you can get pretty much anything from UK, and apparently I can get some parts locally (EU-based). But yeah, I'm glad it wasn't my first bike, it's a bit harder to work on. And don't sleep on the ZX12-R, its a fucking missile 😅
A RC51 is a horrible first bike One won’t regret owning lol. Love that bike but the range is horrible, super uncomfortable and crazy low end easily putting you upwards, my first bike was a modded super chicken. What a horrible Bike to learn on I Miss sooooo much.
100% on gsxr!
Yea! Gixxer 600 nation in the house baby!!!!!
nice
Thanks
It's good to know what is trash
What about 2023 ninja 650 for first bike?
I had a 2001 Aprilia Mille R Factory, aluminum forged OZ wheels, Öhlins everything, brembo brakes, arrow titanium slip on, BMC air filter/modded air box, matching arrow ECU chip. Sellers regret for sure!!!😢😢😢
I would recommend honda grom
