    I chose a 2021 MT-03 as my first bike and couldn't be happier. What makes a beginner bike is definitely personal and varies person to person, however buying one that is smaller and upgrading when you are ready is a lot safer and cheaper, and less fearful lol than starting off in something that is too heavy and powerful.

    • @rampage3337
      @rampage3337 2 ปีที่แล้ว +30

      not really safer and allot more expensive. everyone here starts on 600cc+ naked bikes when they take their license. and here you have to take the license on your own bike (wich is why they are mostly nakeds becaus the test is 99% impossible if you got something like a sport bike simply because of the level of control needed to pass the crawl speed obsticle course. i know you are happy on that mt03 like it don't take allot of power to be happy. but what i am saying is that the bigger bikes are not realy that mutch more uncontrollable for new riders. + they can be detuned down to A2 level wich is what the 300cc bikes are for (a2 is the midd level of mc licenses in Europe and is limited to 35kw) but congratulations to your bike man :) hope weather is on your side and you get to ride it allot.

      I got one as well and I have grown and learned so much with it and developed way more as a rider than I would have by this time than if I started on something bigger - it is so approachable and unintimidating that you can experiment with it, try new things and get out of your comfort zone without scaring yourself. Plus, once you do get comfortable with riding there is still plenty enough power to have a ton of fun with, plus it is light and flickable, and handles very well

      I started on an MT-03 and rode it for two years. It was a great bike. I do agree that lower-powered bikes are safer for beginners because power is a mistake amplifier, and as a beginner you will probably make a lot of mistakes. I certainly did. You can learn to ride well on that bike.

      Ride what you are comfortable with. If you wanna start on a mt03 rather than a mt07 do it. Better to be safe than sorry. Bigger bikes are less forgiving when you make mistakes. They are heavier and will go down a little easier. What you don’t want to do is get a bike too powerful that sits in your garage because you’re too scared to ride it. The throttle is much more sensitive than a 125cc so if your starting from nothing with no prev experience I’d go for a 125 or 300-400.

    I’ve had mine for almost a year, with almost 9k miles. I love this bike. Often times I feel like I need more power, but then I give it a little throttle and I’m reminded why I love this bike so much. I get a lot of compliments on it and when people sit on it they are like Woah. Usually something along the lines of, “this thing is so light and I like the body position”. This bike can take corners very well although I haven’t truly tested it. But I’ve leaned into corners I initially thought I wouldn’t be able to (beginners fear). But as I grow more confident in my abilities, the bike has been able to adapt with me and handle anything I throw at it. I can’t say enough good things about this bike. If you want a faster beginner bike, get the Ninja 400. If you want something that’s a blast to ride and won’t eat your face off, this is the one 👍

      Are you a giant or something? Or is it because you ride with 600's and feel left out? I don't ride with people and even if I did I'm not a follower. Regardless, my R3 keeps up anyway.
      I'm just trying to understand your logic. You may want more power, I don't think you need it though, unless you're 300lbs.

    I wish there was this much variety 25 years ago when I was first starting out. The truth is with the amount of congestion on today's roads (if you happen to live in a large city), the MT-03 may be all you really need. Cheap to buy, cheap to insure, cheap to own, and if you crash it, drop it or it gets stolen, it's not a big hit to your pocket book.

      For commuting, you might actually want to go for a 300cc or 125cc scooter, though. More weather protection, more storage (under seat, in front of your legs, top case), the top case you really want for commuting won't destroy the looks, because it just looks natural on a scooter. Also, less likely to get stolen if you're in the US (as people there all seem to think scooters are lesser somehow).
      Now, if you want to ride for fun, that's another story, but for pure commuting, a scooter will beat a bike hands down in practicality.

Only 49hp but coming for a 125cc with 15hp it’s like night and day when it comes too power and speed, but not stupidly fast that I would kill myself. I knew a guy who passed when out and brought himself a R1. Even the guy at the bike shop warned him not too buy one unless he was well experienced. He lied told the sales guy he’d been riding bike for over a decade. Unfortunately two weeks after having the bikes he crashed came off, hit another car and he was killed. Simply because he was riding a bike that was far beyond his experience.

    I bought a Yamaha MT-03 this past September. It's a very comfortable bike and it is an absolute blast on back roads. I almost went with a Kawasaki Z400 as it does have a bigger engine for not a lot more money, but the well documented clutch and transmission issues of the Ninja/Z400 held me back, but for sure the Z400 is significantly faster. For me reliability won out over performance. My only issue with my MT-03 is I wish it had a 7th gear. I find it revs to high at anything over 65 MPH, especially when you have to slog it out on the interstate. For sure I could do I sprocket change to lower the RPMs but I would be sacrificing precious acceleration, which I'm not willing to do. Otherwise this is a perfect urban commuter/back road burner that is easy on the pocket book and looks good doing it. I highly recommend this motorcycle for any first time rider.

    • @grumpysquid
      @grumpysquid 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I agree with you on all points and also considered the ninja 400 but backed out for the same reasons. You have to just accept that like the R3 this MT loves to live at higher rpm. If feasible look into better breathing like air filter and exhaust. Best performance mod on mine is the ECU flash by 2 wheel dyno works. Removed the throttle jitters and made engine all around smoother!

    Getting onto a highway on ramp in 3rd gear & letting it rip full throttle & shifting at 8k RPM - the harmonics from the engine & tranny & shifting are so clean & precise - not too loud but enough to give an audio experience - not super buzzy but enough to feel the engine making rotational torque from fuel injected gasoline mixed with air //

Also, the z400 has a wider front wheel when compared to the MT-03, which was noticeable when leaning the bike over in turns.

    If you are looking for a beginner bike, try to also look for a bike with engine mode mapping. That way, you can get a much higher CC bike, but have a "rain mode" selected to allow you to ride it much easier. Then when you want to move up in power, just swap the mode to a higher one.
    This will help you hold on to your first bike for a much longer time, without possibly getting bored with a lower CC class.

    If you want something of the sport variety, I'm still of the opinion that the Ninja 400 (or the z400 if you don't want plastic) is really hard to beat. It's actually powerful enough to be a "real" motorcycle but it ain't gonna do a backflip under hard acceleration. 50hp @ 360 pounds will demolish any speed limit in the US if you need it to for some reason, and it'll do it quick enough to get out of its own way. Thanks for the video.

    • @BloodPlusPwn
      @BloodPlusPwn 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@SLOCLMBR Yeah, I said Ninja 400. Different bike. I ain't talking down on the mt-03 though, but it isn't comparable and it's not just about speed or acceleration. The bike is just straight up not trying as hard, which feels better at any speed.

    • @ws8080
      @ws8080 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, the shootouts with all these bikes always end up with the Z400 or Ninja 400 as the #1 choice due to all those factors of "real bike" that beginner can be comfortable on but you can keep forever as well. Duke 390 is close 2nd but as Revzilla guys said - it's just a matter of time until the Duke or RC390 engine explodes.
      I like the MT03 for its HP, but it lacks features in comparisons to the others.
      The CB300R is probably the actual 3rd place bike due to its light weight and more features.

    As an R3 owner, i can say that it's great for a daily commuter or for touring. Fuel mileage is great & low maintenance + insurance cost. The best part is it's handling, you'll definitely have fun going canyon carving or on track.
    So definitely a thumbs up for the MT03 👍🏼

      @Lassi Kinnunen 81 Well in America where motorcycles are pretty much only toys this bike is pretty much a starter bike and there's nothing wrong with that. If anything people get bored of bikes like this easily here. Also not a great forever bike as these bikes suck on highways they are very stressed at 70-80 mph. Oh and plenty of people drive 400hp cars every day...

    Started riding with a 2017 MT03. Fantastic bike with extreme reliability and a lot of punch for a small bike! I used my MT03 for daily commuting and weekend rides. She easily kept up with much bigger bikes, especially on the long winding curves. Im 6'2 and about 340lbs and it NEVER failed to get me away from traffic and it does Highway speeds easily. Sold it to my son recently so he had a good reliable bike and moved onto something different... still missing my little Yamaha though.

      My first bike was the 500 classic desert storm. Then i got hooked on 'itchy boots' and saw how amazing the Himalayan was. Ive since had a Carbi Himalayan for 2 years and do roughly 300-400km a week as my work vehicle (rain/hail riding). i still grin from ear to ear every time i ride it. Never had a problem with it, i ride on pretty shit Australian roads and its never net me down. I also owned a Moto Guzzi 1200 sport for a while which punched your entire stomach out your ass in 3rd gear when you opened the throttle. But out of what i've owned the Himalayan is the best.

      If you are looking for trails, you don't mean 390 Duke, you mean 390 Adventure. Take a look at the BMW G310GS and the Versys 300 X also. Personally, I'd go for the Versys 300 in that class as you get the Nnja 300 twin engine, but in an adventure package, so you get highway capability with some off road ability.
      But personally I'm thinking of buying two bikes rather than compromise - like a used Ninja 300 as well as a Yamaha XT250 dual sport. I can buy those two used for the new price of a 310GS etc.

    When I bought my first bike a year ago I was looking for a second hand A2 bike. I considered the Honda CB500F, Kawasaki Z400, Yamaha MT03 and KTM 390 Duke. I went with a 2017 390 Duke because I found a really good deal (also that was the one I thought looked best), but also because CB500F was out of budget and the Z400 and MT03 were too new to find them used at decent prices. I’m really happy with the KTM, it’s a lovely bike and it gets me smiling every time I ride it 😊

    I’m here bc I want my first bike and the fiancé of my cousin works at Yamaha and I told him I was looking into a r3. He told me to look into the mt-03 since it was the same just without the body work. The insurance would also be about 200 less so I’m glad he said that lol, but the part where you said Scriptures’s before riding made me follow instantly. Glad God is recommending videos with godly people. Praise on brother!

    I come from a different country and a different set of rules.In the UK, the maximum cc you can ride as a learner is 125cc. I bought my 125 kwacker trail bike and passed my test in the UK. until you're licensed, you have to have an L tag on your bike.
    After I passed my test, I bought a JDM import Kwacker KR 250. It was a two stroke triple and was a screamer. When the kickstarter shaft sheared off and I was told the part would take 4 months to arrive, I opted to part ex is for a Suzy RG250 Gamma. That was another screamer.I finally decided to go more sensible and ended up with a Honda VFR 750. Best bike I've ever ridden. Silky smooth. It was so smooth, half the time I'd the just change gear without using the clutch. It would just change gears. Fantastic bike.

At 76, I'm thinking that, if I'm still in good shape when I reach 80, I'll get a lower & lighter bike. The newer Yam MT03/321cc was high on my list 'till I came across the BMW G310R built in India where the average Indian man's "altitude" is 1m66. Also the BMW G310R is 28 Kg lighter than my MT03/660 & has a 2 cm lower seat 😀😀😀
