Also don’t go out on public road too, you are being very deadly and reckless, it’s easy to get killed on a motorcycle remember this. I drive a motorcycle myself , I learned turning , stopping , controlling throttle for 7 days on a nonbusy road. Be safe, don’t want you on a tombstone on your first riding
25 years into riding I just went down on the road for my first time😂😂😂 I finally got my stitches out next Wednesday sitting here with road rash from head to toe..... Well I should say shins to shoulders.... I literally just went to meet up with my friends a mile from my house the day before my birthday to show them my new bike on the way home a box of freaking nails fell off one of those ghetto ass Mexican work trucks this is what police assumed anyways my bike slipped out and I went for the slide of my life in shorts and a t-shirt. I can't even say how far the bike when I can't believe it it had extremely expensive sliders. And it saves the bike completely... Yes I have to replace a few minor things and I do not like not having a windshield higher speeds sell windshield Plus whatever else I can find to make this bike my own is a cafe racer with the mt09 motor full exhaust and power Commander..... Xsr 900 if anybody knows but then when you put a full exhaust and a whole bunch of other s***on these things they are freaking sleepers.. it looks kind of slow and then it's faster than almost everything
Respect for jumping off the deep end to learn and respect for posting this knowing damn well all the internet gremlins are gonna be in these comments with pitchforks about every and anything. From someone who’s about to get on my first sport bike I appreciate this video. Ride safe out there champ. 🤙🏽
It's definitely smarter to learn and get everything situated before buying a bike and riding off the lot, I wouldn't want to be the reason you're dead because you THOUGHT you could handle a bike but fell off and slid infront of my truck. make sure you at least understand how a bike works and the other fundamentals before you get the idea to go buy a bike and ride it from the dealership 💀
Reminds me of getting my GSX-R 600 over 20 years ago. No license. No experience whatsoever. Never even sat in the pilot's seat before. Looked up the controls online, took it around the block once to make sure I didn't need to trailer it home, then hopped on the freeway for the hour ride back to base. For the people wishing pain and injury on the rider for not having gear, I still don't wear gear unless I'm either planning on going extra hard on the back roads or am headed to the track. And I'm still alive. We all have different experiences. We're not all built the same. But I do hope everybody stays safe out there regardless.
The classic "hasn't happened to me personally, so it's fine" Both you and this guy in the video should be wearing gear, even though I hope you never need it.
Well done mate. I started on a 125 so I can't imagine how scared you are. You are clearly being very careful in this video. I dropped my trainers 125 once, almost crashed, and then dropped the training 600 twice. Since passing, I've never had any incident on any bike. Glad you went so far into the deep end and actually didn't mega bail. Well done. Just keep that carefulness of the first time forever. Don't listen to the squid demon unless you know 100% the conditions are fully controlled (almost never). Get gear, license and training and you will be in pure freedom.
Hey man I was wondering what is required for you to leave the dealership with the motorcycle?, Did you need to register the bike or is that handled during the process of purchasing?, Do you need insurance going into the dealership and being allowed to get the bike and leave with it?
They told me i needed to have insurance to leave with it since i was riding it off the lot. not sure about what you need if you're putting it on a truck or something. i think even if you're putting it on a truck you still need insurance because its brand new (if you're getting a brand new one)
You are a really smart and brave guy for learning to ride in 5 minutes and then going straight to the streets. Congrats on your beautiful bike, enjoy it tons and be very alert and careful out there. Cheers.
He’s not brave , he’s stupid to go out on the street on the first day. I practiced 7 days on my non busy neighborhood road before going to the busy places , that was smart. Riding a motorcycle is dangerous and doing his behavior is reckless and could get killed. Don’t do this.
Heck ya man! Congrats personally imo I would recommend taking the MSF course. I learned a lot from it and when you get back on your bike, you feel more at home. More confident and it feels super easy to ride. Anyways congrats and good luck🎉🙏
Nah just do dmv test ig if your rich then yeah spend the 350 dollars to get the class but even then 3 hours two days a week for 3 weeks who tf has time for that
@@babytronjr2178I took the class this weekend and watching a youtube wouldn't have given me an ounce of confidence compared to the course. I spend 150 bucks and learned so much and as a novice rider could point out things I would've done differently in the video. Getting a bike and learning on the road is not ideal, make mistakes in a controlled environment and then continuing that growth on the road is so much better and sosososo much safer

New rider and not even wearing proper gear, scratched jeans... man please dress for the slide.. be safe
Congrats on the bike! Of course, be careful and don't get overconfident, from your riding it certainly didn't seem like you were. I remember, even though I took the msf, I hadn't gotten any practice before or after, bought my cbr250r, and took it home in bumper to bumper traffic on the interstate/a gravel road first thing. terrifying first ride, but hey, after that, everything's easy haha
I did the same with my ‘25 ninja 650. Quick ride around the parking lot and jumped on the highway . A lot easier than I thought. Should’ve just gotten the Zx6r honestly. All the msf course really teaches you is how to ride safely in an empty parking lot under 15 mph.
I got my first bike last October 25 I think and didn’t have any experience prior to buying it and drove it an hour back home don’t sweat it your doing good bro!!
Beautiful bike congratulations! I'll say I enjoyed watching your video although I was probably just as nervous as you were, the entire time. You are a quick learner it seems, which is good. Remember, proper gear always. I read that you'll 'get a jacket soon', even until that point please don't leave any skin exposed - wear something: double layers and full denim shirt, jeans without holes etc. And the MSF course is recommended, the $50 versions offered thru local schools will teach you a lot, so book now before the seats run out. They are as good (often better) as the private shop courses offered by say Harley etc. which typically charge $350, and you'll learn a lot. Remember to look up, but the video was understandable as you're taking time to look down and learn the controls of your new bike too - perfectly ok. And lots of backroads/parking lot time as you learn the bike. All the best, ride safe;
My first bike was a Ninja 250 back in 2013. Practiced looked just like this. But I was in my neighborhood. Keep it up. You'll do fine. Confidence is key. Just not too much confidence haha
I took the MSF. It lasted 8h total. I learned more about riding in my first 7 minute drive to work. Almost the entire course is slow speed stuff which is important and necessary. But it left me woefully unprepared for actually riding in the streets.
Why not just take the $50 MSF course? They prepare you for at least a safe and efficient ride off the lot. Figuring it out on the road isn’t really the greatest idea when you can burn through gears and over rev your motor.
The only MSF course within 100 miles of me is $350, but I am still going to take that over having to take a driving test with no practice to get a motorcycle endorsement. Some people really make it seem like winding roads and throttle control throughout the turns are hard on a motorcycle so I'm kind of dreading that, but I feel like once I get it down it will be the most fun part about riding.
@@meerbee2910just get a little Chinese pit bike or a used dirtbike on marketplace, and learn how to ride on that. I never took the msf, and learning how to ride before going on the street allows you to start on whatever bike you want. I personally started on an mt-07, and 2 weeks later sold it for an mt-09sp 😂
@@meerbee2910 In my state if you take the course you don't even have to take the test. They just give you a license. That was the reason I took the class. It's a nice incentive. I did learn some things that I didn't know though. So I don't regret it.
@@ohsam5954 yeah, here you don't have to take the driving test with a MSF course, but it's either MSF or driving course, you cant get a motorcycle endorsement without one of them
Congratulations, you're already doing really well! It's amazing how well these things can balance at such slow speeds, the center of gravity is obviously lower than my lard butt on a Schwinn, but everything I've read says I have to get good with that Schwinn before I take the MSF. Best wishes and stay safe!
As someone who wants to buy a bike with 0 experience as well, do you recommend me doing this? I am 22 and I have a dealership nowhere near me. But there is one out in the country a bit so I could easily avoid traffic.
Have fun be safe bro! Don't sweat the comments. They ain't invited to the cookout anyways 😂 Half these ppl don't even ride. Carry on & enjoy your moto journey 🤘
❤ From Australia Victoria brother. You are doing very well and continue down the path you're on. Working hard gets you somewhere happy and gives purpose, instead of being envious, angry, jealous etc in life. Yes it can take time but you'll get there. We all have mishaps so 👍💯
I absolutely love myn got it 5 months ago and put 6,300 already on her this season! Love it. I grew up riding dirtbikes. I could’ve went with a 600 and been fine but I just wanted to be safe.
love the vid bro you can see your nervousness witch is very helpful as i plan on getting my first bike soon im literally in the same exact situation never even sat on a motorcycle before and i plan on getting a ninja 500 to start as well
congrats Bud. I've been riding 35+ years and would spend $200 on great set of gloves before spending $1000+ on a helmet. But please at least get those for sure. Ride your own ride buddy
I never said i wasn’t getting a jacket, i planned on it. Yall are negative as shit in the comments. Every time someone doesn’t wear gear it’s like yall want them to crash. take that negative shit somewhere else.
Hey man, rider of 25 years here. Let me tell you some of the shit I've seen because people thought riding without gear is fine. A friend of mine turned into a literal flesh crayon. No Jacket, no proper pants, no gloves. He fell at like 45mph because of an oily patch on the street, so no big crash by any means but he slid quite a long distance on the tarmac. He left almost all the skin of his hands and his right arm on the street. Also his right hip and right knee. Needless to say his tattoo on the arm was gone. Wasn't able to wipe his own ass for 5 weeks. The skin graft from his butt to his right arm went well, but he now has ass hair growing on his arm and I wish I was kidding. With proper gear he maybe would've had some minor burns because of the heat transfer. Another rider I know had his chain rip at high speed. A piece went straight through his sneaker into the back of his foot. Almost completely tore his achilles tendon. Had multiple surgeries and couldn't walk right for almost 2 years. He stopped riding because of that even tho it was avoidable with proper boots. Yes, some people are negative and some want to see people without gear crash. But so far the majority of the commenters were concerned about your well being. You only have one body and you don't want to mess that up. Having a crash isn't always your fault, but riding without gear is. Please know that I don't want to discourage you from riding a bike. To me it's one of the best hobbies out there and I wish more people could experience it. I want you to have fun with your bike for as long as possible. Please be reasonable.
Listen, I want to add something to what @FlawlessFailer said. I don't always wear the full kit. It was very hot today, I was late for work and my motorcycle jeans were in the wash so I opted for a normal pair of jeans. It felt nice, not being cooked for once. The thing is, I know how to ride a bike. I had to get taught and then do a written and practical exam to prove I know how to ride a bike. I went on multi thousand km motorcycle tours. And yet... I usually always wear full gear. You want to know how fast shit happens? I'm not even talking about big injuries or crashes... About 1.5 or 2 months ago I went to a friends birthday party on his property, about 2 km from where I live. It was really freaking hot that day, so I decided to go in shorts. Nothing will happen, I thought... So I arrive at the party and one of my best friends walks towards me. I scootch over a bit on my seat to get the bike balanced to on uneven terrain and secure it with the side stand so it can't fall over. While doing that my right calve just for a few milliseconds touched the exhaust pipe... 2nd degree burns, leaked to no end for weeks and is still a bit crusty. Long story short. If you want to ride without gear, that's on you, but we were irresponsible not telling you to at the very least get some training in with a coach before you end up killing yourself. I am a risky driver, lane split at 150 km and shit like that. Other bikers hate people like me, because we ruining the name of bikers apparently but even I am convinced you'll end up killing yourself or at the very least hurt yourself really bad.
@@bubbleacids i understand them looking out but there’s a fine line between looking out and wanting someone to crash just to say “i told you so”. and im not saying they’re being negative for telling me to get gear, i never said that. i said for them to leave it at that, being negative and saying im gona have dirt in my road rash is completely different from “looking out” and telling me to get gear.
we are worried because we can tell you have no experience. we don't want you to be injured but we know that an incident WILL eventually happen. this is how we learn and become better riders. be prepared for it, and the gear exists for a reason.
I also recently just bought my first motorcycle which is ALSO a ninja 500 with absolutely 0 experience and I had to drive it home from the dealership straightaway.. im glad im not the only one who had to go through this experience since every other new rider TH-camr I've watched mentioned that theyve did the msf course when they got their bike
@@yoo912 i live in switzerland so its a lil different u need to do the course in the first like 4 months of getting ur learners license and most courses actually want u to alrd be able to control the bike a bit and not be completely new. I didnt really have much of a choice but to just freeball it
good to see videos like this, this will probably and hopefully be me in the future lol. But you gotta start learning somewhere and somehow. I have watch so many videos of motorbikes i feel i can ride one already, 1 or 2 days of practice and ill be rdy.
If I got any advice for the new people thinking of getting into motorcycles and have never rode a bike get a dirt bike you can learn the basic mechanics and fundamentals on something that’s way cheaper in price and maintenance then full sending a 6-8k+ bike worth a lot in price and more in maintenance get a 125cc manual bike 4 stroke cause most you would destroy the bike just letting the clutch out and run that for a few months learn the basics and then sell it and get a street bike and you’ll understand everything way better how the clutch feels and works how to shift and how to maintain the bike it will 100% save you and don’t get a big ego thinking you can handle a 1000cc cause you won’t i promise you I did it once and ended up with a broken ankle (luckily) and a totaled bike riding a dirtbike 100% helped me with everything I needed to know so when I did get a 400 i understand all of it just had to get pass the nerves being on road with other people but that last a few days and your good
Did you know how to drive manual in a car before you rode this? I'm not putting you down, I was just wondering. I have yet to ride a motorcycle, I know it's a different feel, I will probably be worse than you are.
Idk if you are or not but dont look at the ground look far ahead and look where you want to go. You should take the msf i didnt believe it but there is way more to riding than i thought.if theres a object it the way to look at it keep looking straight and use ur peripheral view to avoid it.
I live in Georgia, and it gets hot as hell here, but it's no excuse for not wearing gear. You're gonna drop the bike it happens to 95% of riders. Even at 10mph, you will get road rash that you'll never forget. Congratulations on getting a bike, but get proper gear.
Loved it ❤ im gonna start with an aprilia 457 rs ( and im like you clueless ) good thing they send the bike for 200fr to my house 🎉 that way i dont embarrase myself 😢
I will give you this, you have a big set. I guess you had a reason for doing this but seriously, I would have found someone to bring the bike to your house and practiced near your home. If I had been the salesman at the dealer I would have tried to talk you into let the dealer deliver your bike.. I hope you made it home okay. Take the MSF course it will help and make getting your license a lot easier. Take care.
This is exactly what I’m gonna do but I’m gonna wear gear cause apparently if you just don’t understand the concepts and stuff in the msg course they can kick you out and I ain’t paying for a class to get kicked out I’m gonna learn the basics 1st then take the class
Don't take the gear comments personally. Manage your own risks. Get the best gear you can comfortably afford as you go. That's what my instructor told me, and that's what I will tell you. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend a motorcycle safety course. Even as someone who was very experienced with dirt bikes at a young age I still learned some things. Ride at your own skill level. You need to learn how to lean. Go to a parking lot and practice leaning. If you can't turn your bike around within two parking spots comfortably without putting your foot down, you aren't ready for the road. At least you're wearing a helmet. I was riding today in blue jeans and a t shirt (always a helmet) today because I'm a rebel. I am fully aware that if I screw up and hit the pavement, that's on me. I know better, but life isn't meant to be lived in fear either. I only fear God. Have fun and be safe.
Ok, so I never took the motorcycle safety course. First bike was a gen 2 mt-07, HOWEVER, I already had years of riding experience on p it bikes and dirt bikes, before I got my mt-07. I didn’t stall it once, and it allowed me to focus solely on learning how to position myself in traffic, how to build judgment on how close to be to cars in diffrwnt situations, when it’s ok to filter, all that. You should already know how to cojntersteer, use clutch, throttle, footbrake, and front brake, before you even consider getting motorcycle.
If you truly have zero experience, and your bike is a 500, that's not good. I understand that you don't want to be stuck with a 300, and have a bike that is boring, but there is multiple really good reasons to start out on a 300 or less. I really wish you the best, and hope that you learn, without "learning." I highly suggest you watch this video many times. I watched it countless times, and watch it occasionally. I found this video by scouring motorcycle channels, and some of the channels recommended it. It's really good, with cheesy acting. th-cam.com/video/d_DyKJtrZ6w/w-d-xo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
They did a study in Wisconsin 54% of motorcycle accidents are no MSF course self taught riders, 34 % are due to speed 31% never get insurance, no license, rest are intoxicated alcohol or other drugs. Take the course don't be an idiot . You can learn more taking the course than you can on your own.
new videos have been posted since this go check them out
Please don’t ride with ripped jeans on your first day 🤦♂️
Also don’t go out on public road too, you are being very deadly and reckless, it’s easy to get killed on a motorcycle remember this. I drive a motorcycle myself , I learned turning , stopping , controlling throttle for 7 days on a nonbusy road. Be safe, don’t want you on a tombstone on your first riding

Medics: "His whole body is mangled, but at least his hands are in perfect condition"
he has boots on too bro. get your facts straight, you don't wanna mess with the likes of me 😡
To be fair I’d say priority of gear should be: Helmet, boots, gloves, jacket, pants.
@@CramcrumBrewbringer No way I'm prioritizing boots over gloves.

No disrespect, but you'll thank your gear when (not if, its a matter of when) you get in an accident
I don't wish you harm but pray you don't ever find out exactly how you are built.
The difference is someone with gear won't be dead after a fall. Even a small fall can cook you going 20mph.
The classic "hasn't happened to me personally, so it's fine"
Both you and this guy in the video should be wearing gear, even though I hope you never need it.
we’re all built the same when we slide 💀
I find these fun to watch, because it's easy to take for granted all the experience we gain when we've been riding for years.
horrible to watch
About to get my first sports bike in a few days, Moving up from a 125cc moped. It's gonna make me see the world of biking so much more diffrently
They say you should get safety gear first and then buy a bike with what’s left.

Have fun be safe bro! Don't sweat the comments. They ain't invited to the cookout anyways 😂 Half these ppl don't even ride. Carry on & enjoy your moto journey 🤘
How do u even get a bike without taking the msf course class first??
My anxiety was def up watchin this!! Stay safe bruh!!
❤ From Australia Victoria brother. You are doing very well and continue down the path you're on. Working hard gets you somewhere happy and gives purpose, instead of being envious, angry, jealous etc in life. Yes it can take time but you'll get there. We all have mishaps so 👍💯
ATGATT
yep, always;
I absolutely love myn got it 5 months ago and put 6,300 already on her this season! Love it. I grew up riding dirtbikes. I could’ve went with a 600 and been fine but I just wanted to be safe.
Shoutout to Purcellville MotoMember
how shifting gears was that easy to get use to or it takes some time ?
Be safe out there...welcome to the bike world my friend ..
i love stalling twice at the same stop light in front of a lot of people!
love the vid bro you can see your nervousness witch is very helpful as i plan on getting my first bike soon im literally in the same exact situation never even sat on a motorcycle before and i plan on getting a ninja 500 to start as well
It looks like you have good balance. Just relax and enjoy the ride. I bet you are doing fine by now.
congrats Bud. I've been riding 35+ years and would spend $200 on great set of gloves before spending $1000+ on a helmet. But please at least get those for sure. Ride your own ride buddy
Its always fun to see new riders
Good shit dude. I bet it’s scary the first time.
I did the same thing, but on a old ninja 250r i bought from marketplace. Best way to learn really is to get on and do it yourself imo.
Unable to watch the rest of the video due to the massive balls of this guy.. 😂
Hats off to you sir for doing what we wish we all had the courage to do
Shii I’m boutta do this shit soon 😭💯
I'd take the MSF course just for the break on insurance rates. Ride on brother 👍
I never said i wasn’t getting a jacket, i planned on it. Yall are negative as shit in the comments. Every time someone doesn’t wear gear it’s like yall want them to crash. take that negative shit somewhere else.
Hey man, rider of 25 years here. Let me tell you some of the shit I've seen because people thought riding without gear is fine.
A friend of mine turned into a literal flesh crayon. No Jacket, no proper pants, no gloves. He fell at like 45mph because of an oily patch on the street, so no big crash by any means but he slid quite a long distance on the tarmac.
He left almost all the skin of his hands and his right arm on the street. Also his right hip and right knee. Needless to say his tattoo on the arm was gone. Wasn't able to wipe his own ass for 5 weeks. The skin graft from his butt to his right arm went well, but he now has ass hair growing on his arm and I wish I was kidding. With proper gear he maybe would've had some minor burns because of the heat transfer.
Another rider I know had his chain rip at high speed. A piece went straight through his sneaker into the back of his foot. Almost completely tore his achilles tendon. Had multiple surgeries and couldn't walk right for almost 2 years. He stopped riding because of that even tho it was avoidable with proper boots.
Yes, some people are negative and some want to see people without gear crash. But so far the majority of the commenters were concerned about your well being. You only have one body and you don't want to mess that up. Having a crash isn't always your fault, but riding without gear is.
Please know that I don't want to discourage you from riding a bike. To me it's one of the best hobbies out there and I wish more people could experience it. I want you to have fun with your bike for as long as possible. Please be reasonable.
Listen, I want to add something to what @FlawlessFailer said.
I don't always wear the full kit. It was very hot today, I was late for work and my motorcycle jeans were in the wash so I opted for a normal pair of jeans.
It felt nice, not being cooked for once.
The thing is, I know how to ride a bike.
I had to get taught and then do a written and practical exam to prove I know how to ride a bike.
I went on multi thousand km motorcycle tours.
And yet... I usually always wear full gear.
You want to know how fast shit happens?
I'm not even talking about big injuries or crashes... About 1.5 or 2 months ago I went to a friends birthday party on his property, about 2 km from where I live.
It was really freaking hot that day, so I decided to go in shorts.
Nothing will happen, I thought...
So I arrive at the party and one of my best friends walks towards me.
I scootch over a bit on my seat to get the bike balanced to on uneven terrain and secure it with the side stand so it can't fall over.
While doing that my right calve just for a few milliseconds touched the exhaust pipe...
2nd degree burns, leaked to no end for weeks and is still a bit crusty.
Long story short. If you want to ride without gear, that's on you, but we were irresponsible not telling you to at the very least get some training in with a coach before you end up killing yourself. I am a risky driver, lane split at 150 km and shit like that. Other bikers hate people like me, because we ruining the name of bikers apparently but even I am convinced you'll end up killing yourself or at the very least hurt yourself really bad.
bro grow tf up respectfully. they jus don't want to see hurt or dead. if u think randoms online is being negative for recommendin gear u n the wrong
@@bubbleacids i understand them looking out but there’s a fine line between looking out and wanting someone to crash just to say “i told you so”. and im not saying they’re being negative for telling me to get gear, i never said that. i said for them to leave it at that, being negative and saying im gona have dirt in my road rash is completely different from “looking out” and telling me to get gear.
we are worried because we can tell you have no experience. we don't want you to be injured but we know that an incident WILL eventually happen. this is how we learn and become better riders. be prepared for it, and the gear exists for a reason.
I also recently just bought my first motorcycle which is ALSO a ninja 500 with absolutely 0 experience and I had to drive it home from the dealership straightaway.. im glad im not the only one who had to go through this experience since every other new rider TH-camr I've watched mentioned that theyve did the msf course when they got their bike
Whatchu mean “Had to go through this experience” you literally chose not to take the course broksi
@@yoo912 i live in switzerland so its a lil different u need to do the course in the first like 4 months of getting ur learners license and most courses actually want u to alrd be able to control the bike a bit and not be completely new. I didnt really have much of a choice but to just freeball it
Hey man, about to buy my first bike. Funny enough it’s also the ninja 500. Thanks for making the video!
Im grabbing the z500 friday
@@dirtdawgz8326 how is it man?
@@dirtdawgz8326 What are you gonna do after grabbing it?
same for me trying to convince my mom even though im 18 and am using my money
Everyone so worried about gear , when 90 percent of riders I see on my city ride with only a helmet 😂” use full gear bro” nerds
Saving up for my first bike. I’ll be getting the same one. Good post bro 👍🏼
fully sqid attire and all, that's wild😂
good to see videos like this, this will probably and hopefully be me in the future lol. But you gotta start learning somewhere and somehow. I have watch so many videos of motorbikes i feel i can ride one already, 1 or 2 days of practice and ill be rdy.
If I got any advice for the new people thinking of getting into motorcycles and have never rode a bike get a dirt bike you can learn the basic mechanics and fundamentals on something that’s way cheaper in price and maintenance then full sending a 6-8k+ bike worth a lot in price and more in maintenance get a 125cc manual bike 4 stroke cause most you would destroy the bike just letting the clutch out and run that for a few months learn the basics and then sell it and get a street bike and you’ll understand everything way better how the clutch feels and works how to shift and how to maintain the bike it will 100% save you and don’t get a big ego thinking you can handle a 1000cc cause you won’t i promise you I did it once and ended up with a broken ankle (luckily) and a totaled bike riding a dirtbike 100% helped me with everything I needed to know so when I did get a 400 i understand all of it just had to get pass the nerves being on road with other people but that last a few days and your good
Getting my permit soon bro. Can’t take the course bc too far and busy so wish me luck 🤙Gonna learn on my own w a ninja 400 or 500 don’t know yet…
I just started on a Kawa 400 and the same thing happened to me haha
Practice that friction point on clutch before anything then you're golden
Did you know how to drive manual in a car before you rode this? I'm not putting you down, I was just wondering. I have yet to ride a motorcycle, I know it's a different feel, I will probably be worse than you are.
Idk if you are or not but dont look at the ground look far ahead and look where you want to go. You should take the msf i didnt believe it but there is way more to riding than i thought.if theres a object it the way to look at it keep looking straight and use ur peripheral view to avoid it.
Regardless have fun cant wait to get my permit😂. Just got a ninja 500 too but have to brake it in and be easy for the first 600 miles
FAke, who goes from zero experience to riding 50 mph on the street home like its no big deal, I call absolute bs
idk i have some nuts i guess? i rode bicycles as a kid but i dont think that has anything to do with this
You seem to be picking it up well, but please wear full gear.
i plan on getting a jacket soon
@@biills Good man.
the bike and helmet itself is expensive as it is. getting full gear adds even more to it.
as long he rides normal and safe. he should be alright
@@mrwolf2120 Definitely an expensive hobby.
@@petercarson9008 haha for sure. but an amazing one!
I live in Georgia, and it gets hot as hell here, but it's no excuse for not wearing gear. You're gonna drop the bike it happens to 95% of riders.
Even at 10mph, you will get road rash that you'll never forget.
Congratulations on getting a bike, but get proper gear.
Loved it ❤ im gonna start with an aprilia 457 rs ( and im like you clueless ) good thing they send the bike for 200fr to my house 🎉 that way i dont embarrase myself 😢
.... Hopefully most people just write it to their grocery store for the 1st 6 months...
I will give you this, you have a big set. I guess you had a reason for doing this but seriously, I would have found someone to bring the bike to your house and practiced near your home. If I had been the salesman at the dealer I would have tried to talk you into let the dealer deliver your bike.. I hope you made it home okay. Take the MSF course it will help and make getting your license a lot easier. Take care.
This is exactly what I’m gonna do but I’m gonna wear gear cause apparently if you just don’t understand the concepts and stuff in the msg course they can kick you out and I ain’t paying for a class to get kicked out I’m gonna learn the basics 1st then take the class
Don't take the gear comments personally. Manage your own risks. Get the best gear you can comfortably afford as you go. That's what my instructor told me, and that's what I will tell you. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend a motorcycle safety course. Even as someone who was very experienced with dirt bikes at a young age I still learned some things. Ride at your own skill level. You need to learn how to lean. Go to a parking lot and practice leaning. If you can't turn your bike around within two parking spots comfortably without putting your foot down, you aren't ready for the road. At least you're wearing a helmet. I was riding today in blue jeans and a t shirt (always a helmet) today because I'm a rebel. I am fully aware that if I screw up and hit the pavement, that's on me. I know better, but life isn't meant to be lived in fear either. I only fear God. Have fun and be safe.
Oh and congrats on the new bike. 👍
I give him two weeks before someone is using a Brillo pad to get the dirt out his road rash.
Yea I’ll buy one first but I won’t ride it til I have went through a course lol
Ninja 500? I didn't know that was a thing
Bro keep up the grind
Ok, so I never took the motorcycle safety course. First bike was a gen 2 mt-07, HOWEVER, I already had years of riding experience on p it bikes and dirt bikes, before I got my mt-07. I didn’t stall it once, and it allowed me to focus solely on learning how to position myself in traffic, how to build judgment on how close to be to cars in diffrwnt situations, when it’s ok to filter, all that. You should already know how to cojntersteer, use clutch, throttle, footbrake, and front brake, before you even consider getting motorcycle.
Gotta be honest bro, I would watch you struggle to ride for 17 hours straight if thats how long it was...
For a first go yeah man that was okayish get school up on riding though by pros as it is easy to feel like you know what you are doing.
I learned to drive stick taking my moms car at night learned on the way to my girls house when I was 15.
Bro get a jacket it's all fun and games till you fall
Easiest bike to ride and you struggling just make it home safe bud
this took nuts
So awesome that you got that experience on camera and were brave enough to share it with everyone. Best of luck bro!🤘🏼
Kinda pointless to buy a 500cc. But at least it's not a 250 lol. Power is in the wrist, regardless if your riding a 1000 or a 500.
How not to do it.
I have dead friends that were smarter than you. I pray for you.
If you truly have zero experience, and your bike is a 500, that's not good. I understand that you don't want to be stuck with a 300, and have a bike that is boring, but there is multiple really good reasons to start out on a 300 or less. I really wish you the best, and hope that you learn, without "learning." I highly suggest you watch this video many times. I watched it countless times, and watch it occasionally. I found this video by scouring motorcycle channels, and some of the channels recommended it. It's really good, with cheesy acting.

Dude whiskey throttle that moped
Whatchu ride brother?
@@yoo912 23 h2rr
Do the course and get gear, or at least wear a complete set of pants.
Painful to watch
They did a study in Wisconsin 54% of motorcycle accidents are no MSF course self taught riders, 34 % are due to speed 31% never get insurance, no license, rest are intoxicated alcohol or other drugs. Take the course don't be an idiot . You can learn more taking the course than you can on your own.
NO MSF 0 EXPERIENCE & NOT PROPER GEAR IS NOTHING TO BRAGG ABOUT….ONLY WATER HEADS DO THAT…SMH
this sucks
why wear a panmts like that when you have zero experience ?
Hy bro enjoy it and ride safe🤙
That dont seem right.
