Thank you for this Yammie. My daughter has picked this particular bike as her first. She will be taking her MSF at the end of this year. I have shared this video with her to keep her excited. And yes, I am entering the contest in hopes of winning the bike for her.

I just turned 14 years old and I've been wanting a motorcycle (a Kawasaki Ninja 400) for probably over a year now. This was extremely helpful and helped me have a better understanding of everything on a motorcycle. It was very straight forward and easy to understand. I'd definitely recommend this video for the people who have no idea how to operate and drive a motorcycle, such as myself.

Yammie I just wanna say you inspired me to get my first bike.

At 54 years old, I'm getting my first bike tomorrow!! On paper, I know how to ride but I don't have ANY experience actually doing it. I can ride a bicycle (LOL) and I've driven many stick-shift cars and trucks so I know the basic mechanics of the whole process. Seems to me that finding (and using) the sweet spot on the clutch is very important. I've watched several of your videos and found them very useful and informative. Now, I'm a subscriber. Thanks!!

Who else is watching this a hundred million times in a row? 😂

[JJBT]

I swear this is the perfect timing. I just got my first bike yesterday and will soon be riding it, I've been binging just about everything and this is just the video I needed! Thanks Yam 👍

Just picked up a cbr600rr for my first bike... it's between me and jesus now...

Just went through all that 2-3 weeks ago. The main thing the class told me was that I need to practice, particularly tight u-turns. I have a deposit down on a motorcycle that after I have a couple of parts installed, I'll have delivered to me so I don't go on the highway/interstate right away. I'll be practicing in my neighborhood and local park parking lot and then advance to commuting to work once I feel comfortable enough. That Ninja 400 would be a great complimentary bike to the one I have on hold.

As someone who wants a sick bike some day, I found this video EXTREMELY helpful and simple to understand. Def gonna be rewatching to make sure I remember all the bike controls and the tips to get used to these badass machines 💯🙏🏽

[AceGoodheart]

As someone who's never drove a motorcycle this has been the best intro video I've seen so far.

Started learning a month ago on my friends bike, two weeks later I bought a 2013 Ninja 300 for 2500, new tires, sprocket, chain, and a lot of other things later. I am riding and “chilling”. I haven’t taken my msf course mostly because they don’t have any classes, but I have great friends letting me use there bikes and teaching me all the good habits of a safe rider!!!

[brandonramirez]

Perfect video for beginners, all basic steps included and simple. Thank you for the awesome content!

[abelmore]

Thank you so much for this tutorial breakdown for beginners like me. I just bought my first bike. (‘07 Yamaha 650) and learning to ride. This was much needed for me.😌

[franciscogalvez]

Buying an r7 for my first bike if I don’t reply in the next 3 weeks I’m at a 2pac concert

[mandelaturner]

I've been watching you for years. I've been thinking of getting a bike soon but most likely next year and you were the first stop to really learn how to legitimately ride.

[blueprintxx]

BEST instructional video yet ! you guys did such a great job explaining exactly what you guys where doing. 💯

[kellygprofessional]

So grateful for this video!!! I've been wanting to get a bike but overwhelmed with how much there is to learn. This makes every step easier to digest! I'm so happy to jump in 💖

[CantTreadOnMe]

I'm having such a blast with my Iron 883. Setup perfectly for me and has perfectly balanced power and is such a raw ride and you can feel everything you're doing. I appreciate that alot more than I thought I would. At the same time it's not rough at all or too buzzy and vibratey it's just right and super enjoyable. I'm alot better than I was when I started a month ago but still have weaknesses I need to practice more on and other skills I wanna really hone. I will be practicing in the parking lot every weekend on my slow speed skills.

[laurenjeanvp]

Thank you for this!! I started my new rider course and experience the ride yesterday and have my classes in a couple weeks! This is literally my dream!!

[melitinabasargin]
