If you like being talked down to and taken for a mug go to superbike factory. If not look elsewhere as they really don't like savvy buyers that do their due diligence ask the right questions.

My pick was the cb300r, absolutely love this bike and don't ever want to get rid of it

[jonathandavies]

I was really similar to this. Started out on a cbf600N from Honda. Super reliable put 20k miles on it in 3 yrs did everything from touring, commuting and Sunday scratching and gave me the confidence and skills to move up to a bigger bike. The budget wasn't broken either and when you're just starting out you need to use some of your budget on more things than just the bike like buying gear and insurance for the first time. Great video mate keep them coming!

I would have definitely thrown some KTM’s in the mix the 390cc is a peach in all guises it’s right up there on power to weight with most 500’s. I’m an experienced rider and have had many different bikes but I ride 390 Adventure and it’s very much underrated, light fun to ride capable on and off the road and looks great. Also managed to get it brand new for exactly £5000.

I’m currently doing my dad course, so I’m looking at all the options available to me for when I get my full license. The sv650 is every motorcycle school’s favourite training bike and I don’t want to feel that an instructor is following me around 😂

My Ninja 400 was £4250.00 for 2018 low mileage in perfect condition, and preppy enough for a returning rider who has been away from riding for around 25 years. For my new to the sport girlfriend we got a 2021 CFMOTO 300SR older stock from the showroom floor, £3300 for a brand new starter bike!

The CB500F is physically a bit bigger than basically all the MT’s.
I’ve sat on several bigger capacity bikes that don’t feel any bigger physically than the CB500F, which is great bike that would suit a large majority of riders

[colindeans]

CBR600F 97-2007, fantastic and cheap as chips. SV650 or a V Strom are cracking too.

Im 15 and I’ve actually worked on a Kawasaki ninja 600 engine before taking it from a bike and into a go-cart for my mechanic extra learning at school a while back it was a amazing experience im sad my school cancelled all the extra learning but it truly does have quite the power so id personally have to go with the Kawasaki ninja

[stuartharvey]

I love how it said beginner and is on about 650cc up lol should of started with 125cc up just pushing whats in the shop

[Thegeordiemonkey]

Everybody should have a honda minkey/grom/dax in their stable, i guarantee you will ride it more often.

[graemetaylor]

No mention of any royal enfield ? Strange but then it does just seem like an advert for the superbike outlet

[destickert]

I also started on a er6-N in 2008, bought it new from the dealer with a 1000 EUR discount because it was the model from a year before (paid 6500)
This bike is just perfect for beginners as it is easy to handle and still powerfull and fast enough to get your heart beating high.

[Theandi]

Went there a few weeks ago to sit on a few bikes, best thing I did as a few of the bikes surprised me of how big and heavy they are, I've ended up with a cb300r.

[andrewgovan]

Really considering getting my first bike always loved the look of the Ducati monster

[vilmos_csehi]

Great summ up as usual.
...but I find it hard pick against a good old affordable reliable practical and rider friendly NC750 (any gen, any model) as a first bike.

So happy to see an SV650 in this video 😊

[abhidhoundiyal]

I love Classics and nakeds, they are so fun to ride. I own a CB350rs but really hoping for Honda to launch cb500f here in india. Cb500f and Street Twin are the two bikes that i really like to have

[houjous]

If I was buying a 5000‐ish £ bike... the 390 duke or the husky 401 versions is probably the right way.

[samuelvalentine]

Could you do this video but at normal shops that are cheaper or gumtree?
