"Gynecological position found on many cruisers" LOL

[@SierraOperator]

I'm about to start riding here once my gear comes in, but I spoke with a guy riding an R1 at my local Publix and I asked him what he could give as far as tips to a new rider. He stated don't buy a 1000 and watch A Twist Of The Wrist 2. He said every year he watches it as a refresher and it keeps him sharp. I got halfway through and man the knowledge that is there is priceless. The acting is B-Roll all day, but it's definitely a great start.

“Once the throttle is cracked open, it is rolled on smoothly, evenly, and constantly throughout the remainder of the turn.”

[@pitchforkpeasant6219]

You go where u look. Most important thing I was ever told. Ever.

[@TylerG7777]

Great comment! I watch that video at the start of every new riding season! I own it on DVD. Can’t recommend it enough.

[@RobertMorgan]

I've always seen that as how driving works as well. @@pitchforkpeasant6219

[@techroma1984]

​@@charliebrewer1668Literally the keys to the universe when it comes to wet riding. Makes any slide controllable

[@AnthosKlox]

I was laughing so much when I heard the term "gynecological position found on many Cruisers...." that I had to pause play for a couple of minutes. Thank you Yammie Noob you made my day!

[@samanthagregoryurich4167]

I'm a sport bike noob and planning to do some track days once the weather permits. I've been watching Simon Crafar's Motovudu - The Dark Art of Performance which is helping a lot! The challenge is finding places to practice where road hazards and cars aren't an issue. It took me a while but I found a new road which is just a loop but where nothing is built, so no traffic yet, and with smooth run-off and no roadside hazards.

[@ahahhaahahah7505]

Why I love rideing so much is that fact that you have to have a clear head or it could mean death, I can hop on my bike a my head clears from all the stress because I’m focused on rideing

[@604-enduro-Vancouver]

another good tip with the throttle I was taught when learning is don't use a high grip on it greatly increase risk of whisky throttle for new riders keep your wrist lower down so it will close the throttle if your twitchy on it and throws you back

[@nesta8273]

Tip 1. Buy a Liter bike as your first bike. Tip 2. Full throttle at all times. Period. Tip 3. Dont wear any gear, t-shirt works just fine. Tip 4. Always run from the cops Tip 5. Dont listen to any of these goofy tips and you will be fine.

[@Sumire.1]

Thanks i ran outta gas running from cops

[@HeldIntegral]

Your bike can run on monster energy in a pinch. Try that next time

[@ayowser01]

I agree with 1 and 4 only 😁

[@zaf_221]

literally got my r3 today! talk about perfect timing

[@GixxerRider1000]

I've always said, "Wheelies are cool but a stoppie can save your life." Knowing your braking limits are FAR more important then knowing how hard you can yank the throttle.

[@AdeptusAmogus]

It may not necessarily be the "correct" thing to do, but when I got my first sport bike, to teach myself proper throttle control and prevent whiskey throttling, I only kept two fingers wrapped around the throttle, and my other two fingers gripped the bar end weight.

[@umariqbal4961]

just bought my first bike (2015 yamaha r3) two days ago. great timing

[@pitchforkpeasant6219]

[@777Brad]

You had an old Honda 500 Interceptor in here. How cool. I think it was an 86.

[@NekoWinters]

I had a 1984 1000cc

[@IGameAsShiva]

Yep, it’s that time of year. I remember back in 2021 when I bought my very first bike brand new and here I was watching all the noob Yammie Noob videos 😂 good luck to all the new riders this season!

[@pl3a5enophotoz]

Yes my guy I’ve been wanting exclusive sport bike content for years!

[@ogstarboy]

Grew up on 2 stroke dirtbikes got a honda nsr125r and the handeling is completely different came here for help thanks yam!

[@actudoran]

had a TL1000R .... back in 2004-2005 ... that was the only bike that had me focused instantly when swinging a leg over ... scary stuff mate !!! everything and anything else felt mushy... that was sharp and focused ... a blip of the throttle would wake you up ... it felt like it could kill you even when you're cruising.... don't ask for figures ... you know they were high 😂😂😂

[@Racha0900]

Very comprehensive and accurate. Investing in riding or track schools yields much higher dividends than an aftermarket exhaust!

[@bananaboyval]

also remember that it is better to practice the correct technique from the start than to do whats comfortable and then try to relearn. correct technique will be comfortable technique given some time

[@AxShade94]

My advice for group riding is to let the "noob" lead so he can drive at his own pace, don't forget to ride in formation "The staggered riding formation allows a proper space cushion between motorcycles so that each rider has enough time and space to maneuver and to react to hazards. The leader rides in the left third of the lane, while the next rider stays at least one second behind in the right third of the lane; the rest of the group follows the same pattern. A single-file formation with a minimum 2-second following distance is preferred on a curvy road, under conditions of poor visibility or poor road surfaces, entering/leaving highways, or other situations where an increased space cushion or maneuvering room is needed". I think it can be a great experience for newest riders to ride with more advanced riders and enjoy riding with his/her friends.

[@3GingerCats]

I think the biggest problem with "Counter steering" is the term... counter steering for bikes is the same as the Scandanavian flick, where you turn away in order to turn in quicker and rotate the vehicle, using forward drive to push you around the corner rather than relying on lateral grip! where counter steering is the act of pointing the wheels in the direction you want to go during a slide... also known as opposite lock!

[@jeromeadams5692]

Just got my 2nd bike (2022 gsxs750) after a 30yr break… needed this!

[@clifftayliam8030]

Yammie, I ride here in the same city as you. I’ve been riding for about 7 years now but off and on. Meaning not always. Now I ride like everyday. I recently discovered the road near Volente. I would recommend that to a new rider or someone who is here in this city who just wants to learn their bike

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

I ride a naked bike, and took lessons on a naked bike and we learn to grab the tank from day 1. Never rode a sportbike who has hunched over ergo's or a supersport even. It seems so uncomfortable and somewhat more of a hassle due to the limited steering lock distance in comparison. Even though you corner by leaning and flicking the bike over but somehow in my brain that seems less doable 😆

[@DTSmotors]

Honestly I think this would be useful to more than just the new riders

[@drbtr3v893]

I think the first thing I noticed was how light the sport bike was , it made turning feel so weird for sure

[@Mr2muchscifi]

Agreed. Just switched from dual sport to sports bike and noticed that.

[@ashleylecompte4358]

Very helpful info.

[@Slayer66037]

Thanks for the video not a new rider been riding for 11years but haven't rode in 2 years so this was a good refresher as I'm going to get the triumph "Daytona"660 when it comes out to get back into it

[@andersonf630]

Great tips Yammie, love the content, Love from Brazil 🇧🇷 ❤

[@JEP1993X]

Thoughtful and well planned out video. Really great advice!

[@non-wx8qm]

This post is actually helpful. Thanks! 👍🏻

[@Keep_on_Dreaming]

Thinking about starting on a CBR650R; will have dirt bike experience prior to this. What do you recon?

[@ayowser01]

Do it. A 650r will be easier to grow into than a full super sport, but still treat it with due respect; it's still a quick bike.

[@Keep_on_Dreaming]

@@ayowser01 I’m also going to get some Grom Experoence too?

[@danboyd6180]

Why’s the guy at the MSF have in helmet on and one on the bike?

[@233kosta]

My guy! Countersteering has feck all to do with "gyroscopic" anything. It works exactly the same as body roll in a car. For the same reasons too. Nothing mythical or weird about it.

[@TheTunerGuy]

Hey Yam! Can you make a video for affordable sport bikes anywhere from 125cc-1000cc anywhere from the 80’s-early 2000’s. I would love to have a I4 250cc from the 90’s screaming at 18,000rpm or even a 2 stroke.

[@arythmian]

This was great. More of this

[@mrtoast4230]

i love yam but watching the videos on 1.5/75 speed is so much better, the videos are so slow paced

[@Karnol428]

Tip for group rides. Least experienced rider always leads the pack.

[@Tampa_tom]

Sport bikes are the safest bike to ride. You have the most control and ability’s of any motorcycle. Stop faster dodge objects better and your faster

[@steelas481]

love all your videos and they are all very helpful but there is very often little jabs at the ninja 400 hahaha i have seen your praise this bike many times as well i just think its funny how they always get a little dart thrown at em from time to time

[@Cuban_Papi]

Love the video bro!

[@jonlee3081]

Good advice... really good advice!

[@Drifthaze]

I saw that the magnets were too strong in the Rokform and were interfering with the wireless charging. Any experience with this.

[@damndaniel2855]

Ok so you rear brake in corner while using little throtle ?

[@lucidwayfarer7469]

It would be interesting to see a comparison video on the Ninja 400 and 500 similar to what you did for the 400 and CFMOTO 450ss

[@Next2Null]

I'm sure it'll come when the 500 comes out in the US.

[@JessicaSimonson1976]

They are same HP and Torque specs despite one being 399cc and one 451cc.

Can we get yammie on a 3rd gen Honda magna please

[@williamhardes8081]

been riding now for many years, on and off. after watching an earlier video and paying a bit more attention to it, i realised i have been counter steering into corners without even realising it. is that good or bad habit that i should take more notice of????

Yammie please i need a bike to ride tours whit my partner in the alps but want to drag my knee if she aint on the bike whit me or when i hit the track what would you suggest and no two bikes arent possible

[@rosualexandru2545]

M1000RR

[@ΑλεξανδροςΑμανατιδης-ι7ε]

Do you want a new bike or a used one ? You could get a hayabusa , a concours 14, an fjr, a bmw k 1300 gt basically big bikes semi aggressive yet comfortable with great handling that can lean a lot . Dragging knee is doable on all of this but the geometry will be slower from a 600 or a 1000 puse supersport .

[@mark_mackaravitz]

Crash was so bad I feel like a new rider again.

[@ayushthimmaiaha.p1221]

The outro seems legit 😂😂

[@bobbyjoesugar]

Avoiding group rides is a cannon event- you have to see the stupidity first hand to comprehend why it’s not a good idea 😂 ride with people that you know/ trust

Throttle may be everything, but then so are the brakes.

The body position stuff is huge. I currently ride a Suzuki GZ250 (cruiser bike), but I want something faster so I test rode an old Ninja 500. I felt like a complete noob again, even though I have 2000 miles of experience.

[@JessicaSimonson1976]

2000 miles is still a Noob you get to 10-12,000. You start gaining experience.

[@mr1bienvenu1]

Most motorcycle riders don't ride sport bikes😮 Most motorcycle riders are over age 50. For the most part in the past this channel has dogged everything except sport bikes. That is why most of your viewers are interested in sport bikes. You alienated everyone else for so long with your narrow minded view of on motorcycles. Just as soon stick to the world you created for yourself and be happy. 😅

[@JessicaSimonson1976]

I am older and can't ride cruisers, they are just to uncomfortable for me. I love sport bikes though, love how controls are below me not out front.
