How To Ride a Motorcycle for Beginners

If a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, then a great motorcycle ride gets rolling by kicking up the sidestand and flipping the ignition. Needless to say, there are quite a few more steps that follow thereafter as well. Here at RevZilla we are obviously very passionate about motorcycles. If you’re the kind of person who digs really cool things, then perhaps they’re something that you might be passionate about too. While no single video can teach everything there is to know about riding a motorcycle, in this How to Ride a Motorcycle video for beginners, Lemmy walks through basic motorcycle controls, firing it up, putting it in gear, and getting it in motion.

4/5 stars - Wanted Lem to show me how to do some dank grom wheelies then it'd be 5/5.

I like how quick you talk in your videos. It makes it far easier and more enjoyable to watch. So many motorcycle videos and people talking kinda slow because they are distracted while riding their bikes.

If you can't ride it without killing it then you can't ride it. What he was teaching from around 9 Minutes on is so very important practice easing into your throttle and letting off on the clutch before ever taking it out on the road. This is a great video! I was very intimidated when I first started riding by the gears it always helped me to remember one-down four-up when you're in neutral to get into first gear you press the shifting foot lever down to get in the first then you pull your shifting foot lever up to get in the 2nd through 5th or 6th depending on your bike.

I've been riding for 13 years and racing competitively for 4. Why am I watching this? BECAUSE YOU GUYS KICK ASS, that's why.

A great practice is to slowly let the clutch out without throttle and just allow the bike to die. This gives a sense of how the clutch feels and works and moves the bike a little, without having to take off the very first release. :)

Honda MSX125.
I've owned a Yamaha YBR125, this video brought me back, I remember the feelings of first riding a motorcycle.
My first try alone, I almost hit the wall.
Steered at the last second, just the handle hit the wall, turning my wheel and making my bike fall (I had the agility to stand up from the saddle before going down with the bike).
Nice memories ahah!

I thought this was how to ride a Grom on a skatepark.

Great video, I would say however that the best way to start is on a scooter. You can get used to everything without worrying about shifting. Then, when you are comfortable with going around on two wheels in the traffic, you can try going on an actual motorcycle.

[jackmoore]

Any rookie will quickly find where neutral is, every time they try and pull away from a traffic light. 😠

In Holland, you have to pay around $600 to get your license when you are 18. You will then be allowed to ride 125cc bikes. When you are 20 you can pay another 400 to be able to ride 35 kW bikes. When you are 23 you will spend another 400 for an unlimited license.

And in America you watch youtube😂

You could've played Bobby Munson in Sons of Anarchy without any problem.

Thanks for this video. I'm currently thinking about getting a Honda Grom for commute since I'm in my first year of college. This bike is absolutely gorgeous. It'll be my first ever vehicle.

Been riding a motorcycle for 17 years. .Still watched this till the end. .that's how good you guys are

[GoneKiffen]

Im really glad I learned how do drive with a stick shift. If I hadn't then all this shifting business would sound like french to me and kill the appeal of a motorcycle. Thanks Dad...

[Anandroid]

Man...your instructorship and presentation/speaking is flawless!

[davouchi]

Ive been riding for 15 years but i still watched this. Love the channel guys!
