Put your all into it. I wanted one and wanted one so bad for 4 years. On and off would want one and try to figure out a plan on how to get one and shortly after just put it off. Although I knew it was coming no matter what. Just didn't know when. If you really truly want the experience of owning and riding a motorcycle you will find it eventually. Just got a MEAN 04 GSXR 1000 (I know I know kinda crazy for a first bike) but am currently obsessed. I finally found the nerve to pull the trigger and buy a bike after years of bullshitting and saving and being really smart about research and the passion to pursue. I can say I am having the time of my life learning and thoroughly respecting the ABSOLUTE POWER of owning a bike I've been interested in obtaining!!! Keep at it man your times coming!!

[@ericsmith116]

If you can't do a proper U-turn the greatest piece of advice I was given was use your rear brake and clutch WHILE accelerating at the same time. Near perfect U-turns since I started doing it. Been riding for about a year now.

[@0xsergy]

ye, thats what I did at the MSF but haven't really done a whole lot of it since then. definitely helps while learning tho.

[@Redmenace96]

I learned/practiced it at MSF Intermediate (#2?) But I bang a U-ee so rarely. Might do it once a year. Then I gotta concentrate and think a lot. But you nailed it- rev it up, and use the clutch. Rear brake is to make it tighter and tighter, or correct your line.

Good list though I might take exception with the cc displacement cut-off for "Too Much Bike for a Noob." I was looking at a 300 cc bike for my first motorcycle precisely because I was afraid of getting myself hurt on my first bike. A good Samaritan recommended I consider a 600 cc bike instead. He told me the 300 cc bike would be satisfying for about 6 months, but then I would quickly outgrow it and want something with more muscle. He said the sweet spot for a new rider was 600cc because the bike was still light and tame enough to be forgiving to a new rider, but powerful enough to keep you interested for years. He was right so I bought the Yamaha FZ6R instead of the smallest Ninja and I never regretted the decision. No disrespect to Yammie because I love his content, but thought I would offer a slightly different perspective on the best size for a starter bike. His general point was correct however - that many noobs do buy too much bike (900 cc or higher).

[@b.p.rwebber8098]

yup a starter bike is a bike that can keep up with traffic. here in New Zealand if your riding on the open ride the last thing you'll want to experience is being passed by a 23 metre 58 tonne truck and trailer doing 90 kph because yr little bike is slow.

If you or a loved one has contracted the horrible disease known as wheelie dysfunction syndrome ask your physician about a new treatment option known as Turbo Busa. Turbo busa is different from traditional wheelie correctional treatments because it goes right to the source, namely your week ass bikes' lack of power. By focusing on giving you over 280 horsepower to the rear wheel Turbo Busa can address all of your wheelie problems ask a doctor today about Turbo Busa. Disclaimer* Turbo Busa is not a supplement to healthy diet of practice, patience and understanding when it comes to motorcycling. Turbo Busa cannot guarantee you won't still suck at wheelies. Turbo Busa is not liable for any damage to your sleep, suicidal thoughts, loss of friendships,binge watching disorder on KZbin or addiction to chrome and stretch. Turbo Busa should not be taken in conjunction with Gooch Juice as this could cause a range of issue such as Diarrhoea Vomiting Insomnia Manic thoughts Listless dreams about Valentino Rossi And complete lack of controll over your finances.

“Conventional wisdom on the subject is to start off with something smaller and go up from there but bikes are so good these days, I really believe buying the bike that is your heartthrob is the best way to go. I don't believe the size and power of a bike is responsible for rider safety. Rider training is the way to achieve that end.”- Keith Code ( the guy who wrote Twist Of the wrist and owner of California superbike school )

[@seancooper779]

I'm currently going through Direct Access training here in the UK to get my full license at the age of 52. I've ordered a Kawasaki Z900 as my first bike because I have no intention of doing wheelies or riding like a dick. The level of training we have to go through here in the UK is pretty extensive. I even had to do a two-hour accompanied road ride with an instructor on a 125 as part of my CBT before I could even do my theory test to be allowed to start the Direct Access course! I know that if I'd bought a Z650 or something similar I would have wished I'd bought the Z900 about a week later. I've been driving a car for 35 years and I drive them as if I'm invisible and never give any other road user the "benefit of the doubt."

[@jenniferrogers2397]

I started with an xv250, and just a month in I find myself pushing it's limits. That said, I think it's the best bike for me right now.

I can focus on riding technique from now till spring of 2013, when I get my full M license, and upgrade to something more substantial, like a turbo 'Busa.

Even with Suzuki clutch assist on last two bikes i stalled them. It still happens but is now not common. True and entertaining video, thanx. Oh yea i dropped both of them, not surprisingly at take off\stall. Sliders saved the paint work.True and entertaining video, thanx.

[@wemel007]

the "not going to 2nd but revving the crap out of it" - part got me spilling my drink because I had that specific situation a couple of months ago. I had my (first) bike for a few weeks back then and wanted to get onto the highway from a stop. And so I gave it some throttle in first, then quickly to "2nd gear" and made everyone around look at me like I was the biggest, noisiest show off noob ever. great memories

Twist of the wrist in book form is good as well. Kieth code trained me a bit when I first started racing at Willow Springs in 1988. He really has a talent for explaining what is going on with the bike and how to ride/race. I highly recommend twist of the wrist.

It’s so surreal watching these videos now that I have a bike. One year on the road now and I can do more than I thought I’d be able to: Went up Geiger mountain a couple times. I ride in my high heel boots everyday. Never thought I’d have the guts to go up that mountain but I made myself. Filmed it and uploaded it to my channel so I can see my progress in lines(I have terrible lines still) and got to see on my friends GoPro how I looked like a cardboard cutout of myself during turns I was so stiff, lol. The fear is still there, I’m Working on it. I had a HUGE fear of turns after I dropped my bike. It was to the point it almost ended my riding career before it even started. the first time I ever got on it, first time I had ever ridden a manual anything, I got going without stalling and then got too confident. I attempted to do a u turn and looked at the ground, boop fell off and rolled like a turtle on its back while my dad ran up and laughed in my face after he saw I was ok” 🐢 Holy shit the fear of turns that I got after that was *intense* for some reason. But I pushed myself because I’ve wanted this basically all my life and I eventually got over it, now I’m pulling u turns in the parking lot and best of all, now I am almost comfortable riding standing on the pegs. OOoOoOo Next step? DANK NOONER(haven’t gotten over the wheelie obsession yet so I guess I’m still a big time noob) If you made it to the end of my babble Congrats I guess

Buying too much bike ... I have been thinking about R6 for a starter bike last year when I knew nothing about bikes. It just looked cool, you know.

The bike is way more comfortable and when you don't have to be extra careful and mildly scared of it you can have way more fun while learning. :)

One thing I've noticed while riding a bike is if you accidentally stall in the middle of traffic "Which you shouldn't", press the couch as quickly as possible to stop locking the wheels so that the bike is still rolling. Then start the engine and start moving slowly from first gear.

“Twist of the wrist” is a must if you’re a new rider or thinking of buying a bike. My first bike was an 06 Zx10r and I’m still alive lol. It was just a really great deal I couldn’t resist. 3 years later I’m getting airborne at 300kph 😍

[@truthhurts5379]

I’ve been riding for 3 years not enough I think, but I honestly don’t think I want to do wheelies. I think not everyone with a lot of experience can do wheelies. For me just the feeling of riding is fun enough plus no tickets, crashing my expensive bike or death.

[@joemann7971]

I think wheelies are a bit too childish, IMO. It's already dangerous enough being on two wheels. There is no reason to make it more dangerous going down to one, but that's just my opinion.

[@vespirbelmont3131]

I've been riding for about 2 weeks now and I occasionally stall. A few days ago some high school kids laughed at me for stalling. But while people basically tell me to feel bad. I'm the one on the bike riding around while they're too scared to or can't afford it. So I have the mentality of "If I'm a loser then what does that make you?" and that lets me sleep a little better at night. Every time I have to shift down and stop at a light or stop sign I only get a minor heart attack about it. But one day at a time and it's better. I also bought a 125cc bike because while other bikers in the area that ride Harley's laugh at me. The local sports bike riders let me know they respect my decision to not die in 1st gear. And as long as the sports bike riders throw me the sign; that makes my little noob heart happy.

Seeing number 5 reminds me of a time when I wasn't paying enough attention to see the obvious brick in the center of the road. Saw it way too late and just kinda committed to it and let the bike do it's thing.
