I'm riding a Suzuki GSR600 and here in Austria 🇦🇹, Bikers greet other Bikers. Even Harleys! And for me it's no difference if you are on a 50cc or on a 1290cc! I also greet moped riders and even the 3-wheel riders get greetings! As you said it. It's not important what you ride, its important that you ride! So, greetings to all from Austria 🇦🇹! Ride save!
I own 650 cc and 250 cc bikes. I ride my 250 proudly almost every day (also during snowy winter) and I find buying him the best decision EVER. If anyone thinks it's childish or underpowered - try and catch me in city traffic. Or offroad. ;)
Most people who say that 300cc bikes suck or that they are for noobs often don't even have the skills to ride a 300 properly let alone a big bike. I see that a lot In enduro riders every one of them wants a 500cc and yet I'm faster than them on my 250cc
In the UK,you can only ride 50cc until 17,when you're 17,you're allowed up to 125cc At 24,once you have the license you can get whatever cc you want If you're riding from 16,I think you'll be allowed any cc at 21 or 22 I'd you woke your way up from 50cc
@@Ibrahim-vx5kq wait at 24 you can get whatever CC you want if you have the license? What if you get the license AT 24? Do you still need X many years on a 125cc before riding say a 300cc or can you go straight to a larger cc if you're comfortable?
o disagree though... maybe not in the US but gas prices are getting really steep in most countries, and having a gas guzzler, often means you can't even ride the thing without worrying about how much you're spending on gas... there is definitely a charm in having a bike that will take anywhere, without you even thinking about gas...
I will say, the part about learning more how to ride is partly true, on a larger cc bike, you don't have to downshift or upshift as much riding through corners and slower roads. On an r6, you can stay in 2nd or 3rd gear, while when I was riding my r3, i would be going from 5th, to 3rd, up to 4th, and back down again. It allows you to learn the functionality of the entire bike.
I'm India, here 150-400 cc bikes are seen as normal, like others see a 600-1000 cc bikes, anything more than single cylinder is so rare. owning a family car is more cheaper than a higher cc bike. Even i ride a 220 cc air cooled bike☹️ even 200 cc bike is more than necessary for the crowded indian roads
It's a misconception. Owning a 600-1000cc bike is more expensive than a low end family car wherever in the world you look, if you use them roughly the same amount. No real point in having a high hp/displacement bike in very crowded countries. It's really good fun though :)
i really think the biggest charm to a bike, os the sense of freedom, and being able to travel anywhere without worrying about money, is the best feeling i ever got from a bike.. so i do rather have a small cc over a 1000 anyday..... is just that reality in the us and spme.countries are they dont care about gas, cause its cheap.. most other places tho, story os completely different
@@marcofelipelopes3081 here gas prices are touching the sky, lowest octane gas is around 100inr which is equal to 1.38dollars.. The prices are still going high.
@@rihansaini636 In south germany you pay 1.76 USD per litre at the moment. It has been as high as 2.06 USD at times. This price includes a tax of 0.8 USD.
That also has nothing to do with ccs... I'm like that too but if you live in a nanny state where u can get a 250 euro fine for switching lanes... Not so great
@@JohnnyQPublic001 I have some #2 metric tweaker kits here left over from 2020. Now it's old packaging. I will make a video and take some pics and give them away for my subscriber video (i have been working on for three years)
I find a 300 great to learn to ride because if you want to keep up with your fast friends, the only way you can do is by going faster through the corners. The day i upgraded, is the day i left them in the dust! :)
i really dont get this.. in the highway, even a 30hp bike can keep up with traffic, do overtakes without much effort, simply understand that you dont need to be faster than every other vehicle on the road, if they're are going over the limit all the time, let them pass, then get back on your lane and keep cruising...
I started with a 125cc and I can’t say I ever felt embarrassed, logic has has not to be absent, you learn as you go, moved up to a 390cc and I felt it was a huge leap and unexpected, pay credit where credit is due ride safe!!
Hey Chaos, I've never commented, but I do watch just about everything you make. I just want to take a moment to say how great your videos are and how much I appreciate your content. "Criminally underrated channel" doesn't even remotely start to cover an accurate description of what you have going here. I'm actually very excited to see you back in South Africa where you clearly feel at home and I can safely say we are all looking forward to the next chapters of Chaos Causes! Ride safe and stay safe man! Rubber on the floor and keep the camera rolling 😉
I've been riding my 50cc moped for a year now, I'm still not bored of riding such a small bike. I'm not saying I dont want to upgrade to a bigger bike, Im saying that a small bike can be fun for longer than a month. A 50cc manual transmission moped is really fun for sight seeing, since you're going slower and have more time to see stuff.
Feel the same with every ride on my 150 scooter. Enough to get me where i need to be and fun enough to feel freedom.. bigger soon.. only riding 2 months now
Yea then they feel racers because they have 170hp to show u how fast they ho on straightaways lol, which takes 0 skill, most of arrogant 1000cc riders think they are racers until they get outplayed by a 300cc rider Who can REALLY ride it to the limit on a techincal twisty road.
If you can't enjoy a ride because of your engine's displacement number you have no business riding bikes in the first place... Fuck it I'll enjoy a ride on a BMX if I have the proper terrain
I have a 125cc and a 200cc. My average speeds when commuting or for a nice Sunday ride average to 80-90km/h when I had my 500cc I basically did the same speeds, yes there were occasions when I speeded up with the 500 but with all the cagers out there trying to kill I sad it’s not worth it. I would be very happy with a 300cc right know.
Needless to say, I got very small cheap little car perodua myvi for daily purposes like going to the market, work etc. I also got golf gti for my weekend ride or for any thrilling occasion which is for myself only and also I got family car, honda odyssey for everyone. I am so proud to have all those even it is not related to bikes at all. What pisses me off sometimes people who had very entry car but acts like they own the road. Chill out man ahah. Anyway such good quality content! 🍻
Exactly! And with the growing numbers of both 2 & 4 wheelers on the road, traffic is going from bad/worst to apocalyptic! Rarely people touch 50-60 km/h on regular basis.
In india Considering the pertol prize now, Anything more than 200cc is overpowered.. I mean unlike western contries almost every one above 18 years owns a bike. Contry full of riders☺️
I have a Duke 390. I got it so my riding partners could have some chance of keeping up with me, and so that I could feel challenged and entertained to try to leave them behind. Side benefit is you save a lot of $ on tires, my R1s, MT10s, and SuperDuke all shredded them. Actually all my bikes 600cc and above did. I wouldn't pick a 390 for highway duty in SoCal, but in a rural area of twisty roads, it is pretty nice.
Chaos, this is so true !!!!! Cubic capacity means nothing!!! It's how you ride it that matters!!!! I'm 64, been riding 48 years without a break, live in Australia and started in the UK riding a BSA Bantam D7. I've ridden everything just about and you just don't need more than 44PS here in OZ. Fines are massive and bans just waiting around the corner. I'd much rather have something I can thrash and not go to jail. Great vid.
Dude, where I'm from riding a litre class or even a 600 cc supersport on the daily is just not smart, traffic conditions don't allow for it, hell my 390 gets annoyed when stuck in traffic sometimes! And good luck using the full potential of your 1000cc motorcycle here, also I'm poor!😂
@@funkyfedaykinTrue, but that's a one time efficiency cost t make the panels, then your good to go (for at least 10 years or so). There is always a cost for building or doing something. But if you are going to use emissions, might as well use emissions to do something more efficient like building panels to power your house and ebike than to pull power from a natural gas plant that is 50 miles away.
@@YBGuy What about the emissions from mining toxic materials from the earth, and the pollution of ppl not properly disposing of the batteries when they go bad.
I ride an RSV4 with 200hp. Not too long ago I got myself a 200cc 2 stroke ktm as a second bike and have been having tons of fun on it, turned it into a supermoto. Perfect to shoot around some small corners, enough power to be quick and fun but no too much to always be in jail with half a leg already and if I want to go fast I still got the big boy for when the weather turns better like the past few days
Honestly, I absolutely adore my 125cc and I never have to explain myself to people. But I will, just because I live it so much I want people to experience it too! Because when I ride up to the shops on my nearly silent bike, on 17in wheels with crazy ground clearance but a low seat height I can just jump the curb, ride through the ditch, jump the sidewalk and cut through to the backstreet to avoid traffic when I leave. At ANY point while I'm riding I can go "oh, that looks fun." and immediately go ride up or down a set of stairs, through a closed school campus and cut between houses at 3am as a shortcut. When I'm done having hooligan fun I can easily do 60mph to keep up with traffic safely on my way home on all 45mph streets. It costs me 1$ per week on gas if I'm really shredding and riding 24/7. My particular bike has a semi automatic first gear, so I can leave it in 1st at a light and take my hands off the clutch to adjust myself, stretch or whatever and then just twist and go when the light turns and shift into second without having to "tippy tap" back and forth to shift in an out of first any time my balls itch at a stop. This is honestly worth everything else. I wish every single bike had a semi auto 1st gear. No stalling, it's easy to teach and learn on, and it's incredibly convenient. My bike is seriously lightweight and maneuverable and I can just pick it up and move it over in the garage, hop up a curb and park on the side of the shop, or easily maneuver and park on uneven ground. I'll say that daily life with my small bike is absolutely amazing. The convenience, fun, and affordability are above any other bike I've ridden, owned or seen. You just can't beat it. I'll also go into negatives. On occasion I do wish I had some wind protection, but naked bikes be like that tho. I've had about 3 occasions where I really wished I had more power, but I I don't risk situations like I would on a 1000cc bike. I'm not dumb, I know I can't jump on the highway, but I never do anyway... I live in deep suburbs where 45mph streets are it. Our biggest road has a 55mph limit. I'm good. I can't load up for camping or take passengers because I lack power and wind protection. That honestly sucks, but my Versys 300 works for that. Basically, don't hate on small bikes! They definitely shine in the right situations! If you like big bikes, that's cool too! We like what we like. Just don't insult someone for liking something else or not being able to afford something. We all ride for our own reasons, and every bike is someone's favorite. Don't be rude. Your bike is trash to someone else too, just like mine. Just remember were al riders and family! Kids on trainers, old guys on trikes and chicks on pink bikes. Everyone deserves respect! If you ride something that's typically picked on, shout it out! Mine is a modified Kymco K-Pipe 125, I've got light engine work, handguards and 70/30s on it, and I've crashed it 20 times and she's indestructible and reliable! I LOVE my bike. Kymmy gets more ass time than my Suzuki, my Versys and my scooters combined!
As a Grom rider I'm pretty sure I have said most of these things. Then I got an ADV150 scooter and I added a mention of the under seat storage to my list of reasons.
Not sure why anyone even needs "excuses" for a Grom, those things are cool AF. I cross country tour on a Kawasaki Concours 1400, and I still want a Grom just for shits and giggles. The customization market alone makes them worth owning for any rider.
True story time. I pulled up to a fuel station and parked next to a guy on a tricked 650 on my 125. I parked at the pump just cuz and when I came out we talked and he kept making jokes and I told him the truth, I love my bike because it's way more fun for me than anything a big bike offers. Then while he was filling his tank, I started my silent bike and he said "no gas?" I said, "nope. Haven't needed it since last week and won't for another 50 miles or so. I'm good! Haha" (in my best sarcastic fuel nerd voice) and he laughed and said "Well, mine is worth the cost of fuel and can do anything that bike can but better! lol" and I just went, "We'll see about that. Ride safe! Seeya." and proceed to drive perfectly straight from the store, ride up the curb, weave around the poles protecting the propane tank, turned down the side of the storeline where he could still see, dropped down the curb into the ditch rode through and up the other side, jumped that curb, then a median, crossed the street, up that curb, across the field, down the next curb and onto the street. I went from the shop, strait in a B line for the back street across the main road all without breaking stride or slowing down. I turned to face him and he was laughing hysterically waving and yelling and doing that finger whistle I wish I could do and walked back to his bike and we flashed our brights at eachother in mutual respect as he pulled out and lifted the front tire and hit 100mph in no time flat down the empty road, his bike screaming for victory the whole way! (It was a beautiful sounding bike.. a damn nice exhaust kit, whatever it was.. worth the $$) I earned his respect, he earned mine, and we both made a friend at a fuel station at 2am. I see him around occasionally and we wave and honk or flash and about a month ago I saw him at home depot in the parking lot at his truck and he told me he bought a Honda Monkey because of me and he's having a blast customizing it. Nice! I got another one! Lmao If you see this, I love ya Douglas! Ride safe bro! Have fun monkeying around town. Small bikes ftwwwwwww!
I ride an electric, and saw a CBR 125 the other day. Thing was adorable, but the rider was so damned happy to be on it. I think that's what really counts.
I have a Kawasaki z400 and I absolutely love it! Because I'm a learner I'm restricted to no greater than 650cc until I am off my L's (and then after my restricted licence for 3 years) BUT I absolutely love my 400cc bike and I can see myself riding it even on my full unrestricted licence! It goes quick enough to avoid traffic and it also looks amazing!
oh i waited for a year for updated euro5 R3 in my country, sadly Yamaha has no news of it yet, in frustration bought the only competitor R3 has in our market, Ninja300 xD
I just bought a 2021 Yamaha R3 and I am loving it. It has plenty of power and if I need to I can go 100 MPH no issue. In a couple years yah i'm gonna want to switch up to the next level but im content right now with a 300.
I'm in Canada, fully licensed. Insurance on my ninja 300 is 125$/month. Insurance on a zx6r is 1200$/month. You'd have to be stupid to buy the 600 until you're over 25 and the rates are only "outrageous" instead of "down-right theft".
For me, choosing a motorbike stays an emotional decision. Trying to rationalise your choice doesn't work, because you are actually buying a feeling. (Except of course if you use it as a tool)
Many of my neighbors ride a 125-250 cc scooter for commuting or delivering, always with a big smile on their faces, nothing to be ashamed, those bikes are perfect for the traffic here in Mexico City (those riders are fearless an fast on heavy traffic, no matter the weather). Also, a Friend of mine rides a 1650 cc H-D Fat Boy mostly for long straight rides at the north of the country, perfect machine for the job. By the way, that guy is 5'4". I ride my 800 cc for country/secondary roads mainly, short weekend trips and city rides occasionally and no complains at all, I´m enjoying every second on it. So, I believe most important thing to consider (besides that you can afford it of course) is in what type of roads or situations you are going to use your bike and just enjoying the rides, no matter the fuckin cc´s. Edit: The Duke 390 is a very popular motorcycle in Mexico City. Unfortunately it is also one of the most beloved by thieves.
I recently sold my 1800cc Indian Springfield and bought a 900cc Triumph Tiger but am adding a Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 (same inside as the 390 Duke) as a city bike - the deposit was paid last week. Now you've got me questioning my life choices. 🤩
I have a R3. I am literally an newb on riding and I am learning. Once this bike is paid off, then I will get a bigger bike but that is still 5 years from now. I am not sorry for 1 minute as I do not intend on keeping up with anyone. Having recovered from a severe pelvic break from a bike accident, I do not intend on pushing myself....yet.
It's all about proportions, my friend. Someone who's used to 150 bhp will call anything slow, while most of us are just happy to be riding. If you always ride your bike at 70% power, there's always room for excitement :)
@@theroadtripraven6694 our road network and their infrastructure plays a big part. In my area owning a 250cc or above motorcycle can be anything but useful. Riding my motorcycle for 5 months straight and I only reached its Maximum potential just a couple of times and earned a speeding ticket too 🤣
I ride a 220 CC bike, and honestly, never felt that it lacks power, or is a small bike. It's a Cruiser, and kinda bulky. Also, I can take it for long rides, without feeling bored, or tired. Of course, varies from country to country, 220 CC is considered a rather decently powered bike here. Plan is to move to a 350 or a 650 soon. Will depend on comfort and most importantly, budget. Always great to watch your videos. Thanks.
Hilarious and brilliant! I've never owned a 328.26 cc motorcycle but I'll come back to this vid once I do and want to properly explain myself. 😂 I love your signature style of color grading as well!
I have had a Versys-x 300 for over 2 years, and still love it! That said, at this point I don't have the budget to upgrade to a bigger bike. Though, the thrill of revving the bike on every gear is amazing😜
@@Thirsty_Fox I get almost 400km per tank. I love the engine, which works well for commuting on low to mid range (revs), and if you want to get things interesting, It goes up the rev range really quickly. I've managed to get up to 161km/h (on track). For off-roading it can take you almost anywhere as long as you are not racing it. I've done some really technical off-roading, and it's very manageable. You should ask for a test ride!
@@simemo75 I'll probably pick one up next year! I've seen a few new-old-stock for about CAD $5500... super tempting... they're so versatile and would be great for our many unpaved backcountry Ontario roads here, while still being fun on the paved roads getting there, as well as commuting in town.
Just bought a ktm rc390, for that price I could easily buy a second hand r6 in pretty good shape. But I just LOVE how the 390 feels, it’s just right to me, I’m not strong (at all), I’m featherweight, and I just freakin’ love how it looks. Dudes, just love your bikes and enjoy the hell out of them. Anyone who harasses lower cc riders isn’t as happy as you when you twist the throttle, I promise.
. There many other disadvantages in riding powerful bikes. 1. Maintenance costs 2. Chances of getting accident gets higher. 3. Daily commute becomes headache 4. Many cases parking becomes a problem. 5. Unwanted attention you may get. 6. Fear of theft cause thieves will put you on their list. 7. Mileage issue where your bike eats much gasoline/ petrol than you yourself eat food. 8. They are heavy. Initially it won't be problem but later when you are aging you will feel the weight.
6-months ago I rode with a tour group from Pretoria South Africa to Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania. 13-days. 7- of us. 2,200 miles. I rode a brand new BMW R1250GS - a rental. My cohorts all rode Suzuki V-Strom 650's. We are all older expert dirt riders with many years experience riding dirt in the Pacific Northwest for many years. This was our fourth year riding Africa. I can tell you that at the end of each long day I was so glad to get off that ungainly, porky, top heavy understeering monster. My colleagues on their Suzuki's had much more pleasurable days. Swapping bikes they were all glad to be able to get back onto their smaller Suzuki's. I dumped the bike 4-times in really rough going. Really rough. In turning in our bikes, 2-weeks later I was billed US$1,100 to repair the damage I had done to the bike.
I have done about 40,000 k's on my Honda CD70 during my school, high-school and bachelor's time. Now it time to move on 300cc finally. One more.....its a true story. I had a friend who has 70cc Honda inherited from his great grand father to his grand father, to his father and to him. Ohhh man that bike still runs like dream.
I ride a gsxr1000 and I get 300 riders trying to race me all the time. The funnest part of it is that I wait until they are in a full tuck and tapped out at 90mph and while I’m still in second gear pull a wheelie and leave them in the dust.
Since I live in Germany I don't really see 300cc bike as a beginner bike because we can ride a moped with 15 and a 125cc bike with 16 so a 300cc bike is higher up in the bike hierarchy. You got to wait until you're at least 20 (you'll have to have owned the 300cc license for at least 2 years) or 24 (if you haven't got 300cc license) to get your big motorcycle license.

If you really want to learn about bikes and riding in general this is the kinda shit you should avoid but at the end of the day to each his own and I'm not about forcing my views on anyone or anything... Just my humble opinion
I have a RC390 with a Duke handlebar conversion and love my bike. Friends from India helped me deal with any quarks or questions I have. I happy with this bike and styling is great as its different and unique. Everyone has their own opinions and what they like. Ride what you want and enjoy it!!
meanwhile India: you can get a licence for a 50cc moped at 16.... also India: doesn't sell a single road legal bike under 50cc (even eBay engine kits for cycles are 66cc) and they wonder why people ride scooters without a licence
There are people who compares 300-400 cc motorcycles with 40 horsepower as a beginner bike and complains that it's slow, and then there's people who are scared to buy a 40 something horsepower motorcycle because they are too powerful to start on and scared that they may not be able to handle such a powerful bike due to the lack of training in training schools and such. When you're living in a country where you'll get a licence if you can drive in an 8 pattern on a 50cc moped, even a 30hp bike is scary. I am 21 years old rn, and was thinking of getting a license and buying a nice bike like the Royal Enfield interceptor 650, but then I'm super scared to buy one cus it makes near to 50 horsepower and the riding school training is basically done on a slow 50cc moped. I was even considering to get a second hand 200-250cc bike with 25 ish HP so I can atleast learn to handle half of the horse power that I have to control on an interceptor. Is there any guidance that anyone can give on riding a 50hp bike?
I ride a 125cc bike and I really don't get why smaller capacity bikes get this amount of hate: they're lighter, more economical both in fuel consumption and taxes and you can thrash them without going over the limit. I've travelled for 1200km last summer on my bike and yes, it was tough, but I had a hell of a solo trip.
And in Bangladesh. We are not allowed to have more than 160 cc bike due to CC limit. 300 cc is like a dream for us 🤣. It’s considered superbike in Bangladesh
It doesn't matter how many cc your bike is , If someone owns a super bike it doesn't make them any better than the person who is riding any lower cc bike , because eventhough you have a super bike when you see a turn or a speed breaker you should slow your bike ....I personally own a 180 cc bike that doesn't mean i don't like my ride and i don't enjoy riding , as a matter fact i love every moment with baby ride .The thing is if love riding it doesn't matter how many cc your bike is, you cherish every moment with it and will feel badass with it.
I'm riding a Vitpelin 401 which is a Duke 390 with clip-ons, adjustable suspension and very different styling. It's my first bike and I love it. It's beautiful, damn fun, and realistically as fast as anything driving close to legal limits... but who doesn't also want something that can keep up with a hyper car. I just know if I got something crazier, I'd do crazier things... I don't know if I'll sell my Vitpelin, if I have the choice I'll keep it and get something that should only be on the track.... and then an ADV bike.... and then....
I heard this all the time from litre bike riders that you don’t need to change gear that often and the engine does not explode if you keep the revs low. Isn’t changing gears and redlining the fun part of riding (and driving)? I do agree it’s very annoying in traffic. But 300cc is really what everyone needs in terms of power output.
Learned to ride on THE 650 on/off BMW. It made want to be a rider..I took my first REAL fall on that bike, the first time I picked a bike up was that heavy ass thing, I could barely touch the ground with the tips of my shoes to keep it standing because I was 15 years old. Rode in dirt for hundreds of kilometers, rode in country roads and learned how to trail brake before I knew what "trail braking" meant, learned to drag the rear brakes for u-turns and shit before there was a youtube tutorial about everything etc.. Now my first bike will be a vintage srx400...that is awesome to ride, so simple and elegant mechanically that I can take it apart myself, was recently restored to practically near mint condition and is really REALLY good lookin.. So yeah whatever...

o disagree though... maybe not in the US but gas prices are getting really steep in most countries, and having a gas guzzler, often means you can't even ride the thing without worrying about how much you're spending on gas... there is definitely a charm in having a bike that will take anywhere, without you even thinking about gas...
My motorcycle consumes as much as my car. Sometimes more.
Actually that's for a superbike
@@sridharroman958 just a joke
I will say, the part about learning more how to ride is partly true, on a larger cc bike, you don't have to downshift or upshift as much riding through corners and slower roads. On an r6, you can stay in 2nd or 3rd gear, while when I was riding my r3, i would be going from 5th, to 3rd, up to 4th, and back down again. It allows you to learn the functionality of the entire bike.
I'm India, here 150-400 cc bikes are seen as normal, like others see a 600-1000 cc bikes, anything more than single cylinder is so rare. owning a family car is more cheaper than a higher cc bike. Even i ride a 220 cc air cooled bike☹️ even 200 cc bike is more than necessary for the crowded indian roads
It's a misconception. Owning a 600-1000cc bike is more expensive than a low end family car wherever in the world you look, if you use them roughly the same amount.
No real point in having a high hp/displacement bike in very crowded countries.
It's really good fun though :)
i really think the biggest charm to a bike, os the sense of freedom, and being able to travel anywhere without worrying about money, is the best feeling i ever got from a bike.. so i do rather have a small cc over a 1000 anyday..... is just that reality in the us and spme.countries are they dont care about gas, cause its cheap.. most other places tho, story os completely different

"Criminally underrated channel" doesn't even remotely start to cover an accurate description of what you have going here. I'm actually very excited to see you back in South Africa where you clearly feel at home and I can safely say we are all looking forward to the next chapters of Chaos Causes! Ride safe and stay safe man! Rubber on the floor and keep the camera rolling 😉
I've been riding my 50cc moped for a year now, I'm still not bored of riding such a small bike. I'm not saying I dont want to upgrade to a bigger bike, Im saying that a small bike can be fun for longer than a month. A 50cc manual transmission moped is really fun for sight seeing, since you're going slower and have more time to see stuff.
Feel the same with every ride on my 150 scooter. Enough to get me where i need to be and fun enough to feel freedom.. bigger soon.. only riding 2 months now
As a guy who was riding a 300 just be honest and say you're learning. Literally no one who actually knows what their talking about will roast you. 😂
Yea then they feel racers because they have 170hp to show u how fast they ho on straightaways lol, which takes 0 skill, most of arrogant 1000cc riders think they are racers until they get outplayed by a 300cc rider Who can REALLY ride it to the limit on a techincal twisty road.

I have a 125cc and a 200cc. My average speeds when commuting or for a nice Sunday ride average to 80-90km/h when I had my 500cc I basically did the same speeds, yes there were occasions when I speeded up with the 500 but with all the cagers out there trying to kill I sad it’s not worth it. I would be very happy with a 300cc right know.
He’s gonna get an r6 just watch, I’ve called it!
Needless to say, I got very small cheap little car perodua myvi for daily purposes like going to the market, work etc. I also got golf gti for my weekend ride or for any thrilling occasion which is for myself only and also I got family car, honda odyssey for everyone.
I am so proud to have all those even it is not related to bikes at all. What pisses me off sometimes people who had very entry car but acts like they own the road. Chill out man ahah. Anyway such good quality content!

A 300cc for daily drive is even somewhat overpowered, specially in huge cities
Exactly! And with the growing numbers of both 2 & 4 wheelers on the road, traffic is going from bad/worst to apocalyptic! Rarely people touch 50-60 km/h on regular basis.
In india Considering the pertol prize now, Anything more than 200cc is overpowered.. I mean unlike western contries almost every one above 18 years owns a bike. Contry full of riders☺️
I have a Duke 390. I got it so my riding partners could have some chance of keeping up with me, and so that I could feel challenged and entertained to try to leave them behind. Side benefit is you save a lot of $ on tires, my R1s, MT10s, and SuperDuke all shredded them. Actually all my bikes 600cc and above did.
I wouldn't pick a 390 for highway duty in SoCal, but in a rural area of twisty roads, it is pretty nice.

Honestly, I absolutely adore my 125cc and I never have to explain myself to people. But I will, just because I live it so much I want people to experience it too!
Because when I ride up to the shops on my nearly silent bike, on 17in wheels with crazy ground clearance but a low seat height I can just jump the curb, ride through the ditch, jump the sidewalk and cut through to the backstreet to avoid traffic when I leave.
At ANY point while I'm riding I can go "oh, that looks fun." and immediately go ride up or down a set of stairs, through a closed school campus and cut between houses at 3am as a shortcut.
When I'm done having hooligan fun I can easily do 60mph to keep up with traffic safely on my way home on all 45mph streets.
It costs me 1$ per week on gas if I'm really shredding and riding 24/7.
My particular bike has a semi automatic first gear, so I can leave it in 1st at a light and take my hands off the clutch to adjust myself, stretch or whatever and then just twist and go when the light turns and shift into second without having to "tippy tap" back and forth to shift in an out of first any time my balls itch at a stop. This is honestly worth everything else. I wish every single bike had a semi auto 1st gear. No stalling, it's easy to teach and learn on, and it's incredibly convenient.
My bike is seriously lightweight and maneuverable and I can just pick it up and move it over in the garage, hop up a curb and park on the side of the shop, or easily maneuver and park on uneven ground.
I'll say that daily life with my small bike is absolutely amazing. The convenience, fun, and affordability are above any other bike I've ridden, owned or seen. You just can't beat it.
I'll also go into negatives.
On occasion I do wish I had some wind protection, but naked bikes be like that tho.
I've had about 3 occasions where I really wished I had more power, but I I don't risk situations like I would on a 1000cc bike. I'm not dumb, I know I can't jump on the highway, but I never do anyway... I live in deep suburbs where 45mph streets are it. Our biggest road has a 55mph limit. I'm good.
I can't load up for camping or take passengers because I lack power and wind protection. That honestly sucks, but my Versys 300 works for that.
Basically, don't hate on small bikes! They definitely shine in the right situations!
If you like big bikes, that's cool too! We like what we like. Just don't insult someone for liking something else or not being able to afford something.
We all ride for our own reasons, and every bike is someone's favorite. Don't be rude. Your bike is trash to someone else too, just like mine. Just remember were al riders and family! Kids on trainers, old guys on trikes and chicks on pink bikes. Everyone deserves respect!
If you ride something that's typically picked on, shout it out! Mine is a modified Kymco K-Pipe 125, I've got light engine work, handguards and 70/30s on it, and I've crashed it 20 times and she's indestructible and reliable! I LOVE my bike. Kymmy gets more ass time than my Suzuki, my Versys and my scooters combined!
As a Grom rider I'm pretty sure I have said most of these things. Then I got an ADV150 scooter and I added a mention of the under seat storage to my list of reasons.
Not sure why anyone even needs "excuses" for a Grom, those things are cool AF. I cross country tour on a Kawasaki Concours 1400, and I still want a Grom just for shits and giggles. The customization market alone makes them worth owning for any rider.

True story time.
I pulled up to a fuel station and parked next to a guy on a tricked 650 on my 125. I parked at the pump just cuz and when I came out we talked and he kept making jokes and I told him the truth, I love my bike because it's way more fun for me than anything a big bike offers. Then while he was filling his tank, I started my silent bike and he said "no gas?" I said, "nope. Haven't needed it since last week and won't for another 50 miles or so. I'm good! Haha" (in my best sarcastic fuel nerd voice) and he laughed and said "Well, mine is worth the cost of fuel and can do anything that bike can but better! lol" and I just went, "We'll see about that. Ride safe! Seeya." and proceed to drive perfectly straight from the store, ride up the curb, weave around the poles protecting the propane tank, turned down the side of the storeline where he could still see, dropped down the curb into the ditch rode through and up the other side, jumped that curb, then a median, crossed the street, up that curb, across the field, down the next curb and onto the street. I went from the shop, strait in a B line for the back street across the main road all without breaking stride or slowing down. I turned to face him and he was laughing hysterically waving and yelling and doing that finger whistle I wish I could do and walked back to his bike and we flashed our brights at eachother in mutual respect as he pulled out and lifted the front tire and hit 100mph in no time flat down the empty road, his bike screaming for victory the whole way! (It was a beautiful sounding bike.. a damn nice exhaust kit, whatever it was.. worth the $$)
I earned his respect, he earned mine, and we both made a friend at a fuel station at 2am. I see him around occasionally and we wave and honk or flash and about a month ago I saw him at home depot in the parking lot at his truck and he told me he bought a Honda Monkey because of me and he's having a blast customizing it. Nice! I got another one! Lmao
If you see this, I love ya Douglas! Ride safe bro!

Trying to rationalise your choice doesn't work,
because you are actually buying a feeling.
(Except of course if you use it as a tool)
One of the most iconic bikes of the 1980's was a 350.
Many of my neighbors ride a 125-250 cc scooter for commuting or delivering, always with a big smile on their faces, nothing to be ashamed, those bikes are perfect for the traffic here in Mexico City (those riders are fearless an fast on heavy traffic, no matter the weather). Also, a Friend of mine rides a 1650 cc H-D Fat Boy mostly for long straight rides at the north of the country, perfect machine for the job. By the way, that guy is 5'4".
I ride my 800 cc for country/secondary roads mainly, short weekend trips and city rides occasionally and no complains at all, I´m enjoying every second on it.
So, I believe most important thing to consider (besides that you can afford it of course) is in what type of roads or situations you are going to use your bike and just enjoying the rides, no matter the fuckin cc´s.
Edit: The Duke 390 is a very popular motorcycle in Mexico City. Unfortunately it is also one of the most beloved by thieves.

You'll be happy with your R6 until you get that speeding ticket. I'll stick with my MT-07 and keep it under 100.

I ride a 220 CC bike, and honestly, never felt that it lacks power, or is a small bike. It's a Cruiser, and kinda bulky. Also, I can take it for long rides, without feeling bored, or tired. Of course, varies from country to country, 220 CC is considered a rather decently powered bike here.

@@Thirsty_Fox I get almost 400km per tank. I love the engine, which works well for commuting on low to mid range (revs), and if you want to get things interesting, It goes up the rev range really quickly.

A 600 is all the power you need
. There many other disadvantages in riding powerful bikes.
1. Maintenance costs
2. Chances of getting accident gets higher.
3. Daily commute becomes headache
4. Many cases parking becomes a problem.
5. Unwanted attention you may get.
6. Fear of theft cause thieves will put you on their list.
7. Mileage issue where your bike eats much gasoline/ petrol than you yourself eat food.
8. They are heavy. Initially it won't be problem but later when you are aging you will feel the weight.
6-months ago I rode with a tour group from Pretoria South Africa to Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania.
13-days. 7- of us. 2,200 miles.
I rode a brand new BMW R1250GS - a rental.
My cohorts all rode Suzuki V-Strom 650's.

"i ride 250😂” funny enough
I ride a gsxr1000 and I get 300 riders trying to race me all the time. The funnest part of it is that I wait until they are in a full tuck and tapped out at 90mph and while I’m still in second gear pull a wheelie and leave them in the dust.
The “big banger” in car park level c4
Since I live in Germany I don't really see 300cc bike as a beginner bike because we can ride a moped with 15 and a 125cc bike with 16 so a 300cc bike is higher up in the bike hierarchy. You got to wait until you're at least 20 (you'll have to have owned the 300cc license for at least 2 years) or 24 (if you haven't got 300cc license) to get your big motorcycle license.

except a bike that weighs under 180kg and redlines at 14000.
I think it's more fun to have variety than settle on one type of bike forever theres a lot out there
Amazing Video Man As Always You're Coming Up With Great Idea's!💜
Really? That was the lamest "video" about bikes I've ever had the misfortune of watching... Check out @yammienoob for proper motorcycle content... This is proper garbage
@@ramzityan7724 No Comparison Brother EveryOne Is Best In Their Feilds! NO HATE!✌
@@xantoshadhikari Na man no hate just calling bullshit is all...if I do something dumb I'd prefer to be called out on it + it's misinformation... If you really want to learn about bikes and riding in general this is the kinda shit you should avoid but at the end of the day to each his own and I'm not about forcing my views on anyone or anything... Just my humble opinion
@@ramzityan7724 Okay Then It Deffers Upon EveryOne Perspective!
@@xantoshadhikari agreed
I have a RC390 with a Duke handlebar conversion and love my bike. Friends from India helped me deal with any quarks or questions I have. I happy with this bike and styling is great as its different and unique. Everyone has their own opinions and what they like. Ride what you want and enjoy it!!
meanwhile India: you can get a licence for a 50cc moped at 16.... also India: doesn't sell a single road legal bike under 50cc (even eBay engine kits for cycles are 66cc) and they wonder why people ride scooters without a licence
There are people who compares 300-400 cc motorcycles with 40 horsepower as a beginner bike and complains that it's slow, and then there's people who are scared to buy a 40 something horsepower motorcycle because they are too powerful to start on and scared that they may not be able to handle such a powerful bike due to the lack of training in training schools and such.
When you're living in a country where you'll get a licence if you can drive in an 8 pattern on a 50cc moped, even a 30hp bike is scary. I am 21 years old rn, and was thinking of getting a license and buying a nice bike like the Royal Enfield interceptor 650, but then I'm super scared to buy one cus it makes near to 50 horsepower and the riding school training is basically done on a slow 50cc moped. I was even considering to get a second hand 200-250cc bike with 25 ish HP so I can atleast learn to handle half of the horse power that I have to control on an interceptor. Is there any guidance that anyone can give on riding a 50hp bike?
Any Bangladeshi riders here? Speak for the world 🇧🇩😂
bruh!!165 cc limit.
I ride a 125cc bike and I really don't get why smaller capacity bikes get this amount of hate: they're lighter, more economical both in fuel consumption and taxes and you can thrash them without going over the limit. I've travelled for 1200km last summer on my bike and yes, it was tough, but I had a hell of a solo trip.

And in Bangladesh.
We are not allowed to have more than 160 cc bike due to CC limit.
300 cc is like a dream for us 🤣.
It’s considered superbike in Bangladesh
It doesn't matter how many cc your bike is , If someone owns a super bike it doesn't make them any better than the person who is riding any lower cc bike , because eventhough you have a super bike when you see a turn or a speed breaker you should slow your bike ....I personally own a 180 cc bike that doesn't mean i don't like my ride and i don't enjoy riding , as a matter fact i love every moment with baby ride .The thing is if love riding it doesn't matter how many cc your bike is, you cherish every moment with it and will feel badass with it.
I'm riding a Vitpelin 401 which is a Duke 390 with clip-ons, adjustable suspension and very different styling. It's my first bike and I love it. It's beautiful, damn fun, and realistically as fast as anything driving close to legal limits... but who doesn't also want something that can keep up with a hyper car. I just know if I got something crazier, I'd do crazier things... I don't know if I'll sell my Vitpelin, if I have the choice I'll keep it and get something that should only be on the track.... and then an ADV bike.... and then....
Its not about the bike ..its about the ride your bike takes
I love my 390. Wouldn't trade it for the world. Might get to a bigger engine someday (who said 890?) but not gonna let it go.
I heard this all the time from litre bike riders that you don’t need to change gear that often and the engine does not explode if you keep the revs low. Isn’t changing gears and redlining the fun part of riding (and driving)? I do agree it’s very annoying in traffic. But 300cc is really what everyone needs in terms of power output.
Learned to ride on THE 650 on/off BMW. It made want to be a rider..I took my first REAL fall on that bike, the first time I picked a bike up was that heavy ass thing, I could barely touch the ground with the tips of my shoes to keep it standing because I was 15 years old. Rode in dirt for hundreds of kilometers, rode in country roads and learned how to trail brake before I knew what "trail braking" meant, learned to drag the rear brakes for u-turns and shit before there was a youtube tutorial about everything etc.. Now my first bike will be a vintage srx400...that is awesome to ride, so simple and elegant mechanically that I can take it apart myself, was recently restored to practically near mint condition and is really REALLY good lookin.. So yeah whatever...
