How to buy Your First Motorcycle (beginner's guide)

Today I give you tips on how to buy your first motorcycle as a beginner.

Start with your budget, ask yourself how much confidence you have to ride a motorcycle, and finally make sure it's a motorcycle you'll love. It's your first motorcycle, make sure you love it.

Anyone else here, wake up one day and suddenly have an insanely strong urge to own a motorcycle?

im 16 but already get that happiness feeling when i think about getting a 2006 cheap r6 and it makes me so happy

I'm looking to start on a 300-500cc sport bike. I have zero experience prior so I feel like it's the most reasonable option. Even if I got to upgrade after one year I don't mind. At least I'll have the basics dialed in on something I won't kill myself on. Plus starting smaller really helps with the insurance cost lol.

Got my motorcycle permit in Mar 2021.
Finally saved enough money to purchase an 09 Honda Cbr600rr
with 22, 000 miles in jun. 2022
Took me a while but I got me my first bike 😊 never rode in my life.

Going for my learners permit in a couple weeks I'm glad I found your channel. Appreciate the advice you gave, made the whole process of motorcycle shopping easier to understand.👍👌

Get something you feel comfortable experimenting with. Experiement with how much clutch and throttle to use while taking off, different engine speeds while shifting gears, try taking corners in different areas of the powerband. Imo that's how you learn. What this means will be different for everyone - maybe a 1000cc, maybe a 150

R3 owner here 😆. Definitely regretting not starting on a bigger bike...6 months of riding and I found myself wanting more

Dude, the old school ninja 250 was gorgeous. Always got love for the 80s-90s style bikes here

I started on a ninja 300 and I love it. I'm also in Australia so I'm limited for the first 2 years on what bike I can ride. I could of went for a 650 but didn't have the funds at the time. I'm still riding the 300 and I still love it. As soon as I can I'm getting a zx6r. I don't trust myself with a 1000cc bike and prefer to make small steps up

First street bike I got about a year ago now is an 04 R1 in that beautiful blue color…love the bike to bits (I’ve been riding dirtbikes for 10years) but I’d say that 180hp is just a little too much for the street. But for someone looking for a first bike something in the 400-650 twin is a pretty decent place to start.

I learned on a wet dirt road on street tires 😂 almost fell in a lil ravine next to the road but was good practice 😅

[Michie]

Passed 2 months ago, got a 2002 zx6r 636. So far i love it. Just waiting on some better weather 🤣 scotland aint the greatest in winter season.

It is true, what Adobo said. I started on a 650 bristol bobber without test driving it and it was not my ride to begin with. Test drive other bikes and found out that z900 existed and oh boy, Im livin a squid's life.

[motojoe]

I got an 2009 r6 as well here in the PH for my first big bike, I never felt the urge to upgrade to a liter bike, instead I added a 750gs literally the best of both worlds.

[umynugnugzyt]

I started on a ninja 250 09' and I'm glad I did. I got into a crash 6 months in, and wrecked the bike. I didn't lose money and now I had a project which if I didn't finish it, I wouldn't have been upset.

[troypower]

I think the CB650R is dope! I want to start riding in the new year.

[squidishtendencies]

Currently on a 2016 GSXR 600 but started on a Honda rebel back in 96.

[joshknight]
