@@chrisandrews610 As a High Schooler who has been riding for almost a year now, it’s as safe as you make it. I ride a Triumph Speed Twin 900, my starter bike was a Kawasaki KLX300SM. The only time I crashed was when I was trying to look like Rossi at 5mph in a church parking lot. I used to save aside $200 a month for my KLX payment and insurance, it was very cheap and very fun, and ngl I’m actually looking into a Royal Enfield when I get the Speed Twin paid off. You can be safe and dangerous with a motorcycle, that line gets very blurry sometimes; Take it slow, practice, have fun, don’t die. I would recommend the KLX, however it didn’t get good fuel mileage(~60-75mpg). It was fun, and I could ride forever between fill ups, but it was kinda slow and tall. The KLXs strong point is the suspension, everything else is not the best.

They're getting really popular. Good on them.

Bladed sir, please continue the motorcycle videos, here in India bikes don't have the fun toy status as in the US of A, here they are for many the primary source of transportation, also people will laugh at you or think you are useless if you don't know how to ride even a scooter That said people here have a lot of passion for bikes as you get to see superbikes much *much* often then supercars, also owning a car in India is still a luxury for many and the thought of getting another car just for fun is unheard of for the masses, so bikes provide a great alternative to that. That said please continue making motorcycle videos it feels good to watch content that is atleast somewhat relatable

@@BladedAngel I started on an '09 Yamaha V-Star 250. Average of 80 mpg, current value if you find one is about 1700 dollars average as of now. Currently, my commuter is a 1981 Suzuki Gs-650L, the L model being tuned more for distance riding. Need to tune up the carbs on it, one cylinder is taking extra fuel and tanking my gas economy, they can normally make 60+ mpg but mine is around 40-45 at the moment. And yes, I take it real easy when riding for distance, average 55-60 mph on the highway for my 70 mile daily commute. But she can be a real beast if you let her loose. She will break loose without popping the clutch on pavement while moving in 1'st gear. Found that out by accident on a test run after getting her woke up, almost needed a new pair of pants. Bought for 1000 dollars, runs real smooth, fires right up almost instantly when you press the starter button. Love her to death, not the loudest or prettiest of bikes, but I love her for what she is. However I almost instead bought me a '96 Yamaha Virago 750, it was a damn comfortable bike, like holy carp that seat those Viragos have is godly comfort level. But the Gs-650 I found not only was more powerful, but also more fuel efficient, and I just couldn't pass it up. And since I've added a windscreen to my 650, as well as a crash bar with foot pegs for my legs. It's a fairly comfy bike too (probably just because I'm a shorter fellow,) just not quite Virago level.

Interesting you should mention the Honda 350. My first MC was a CL350 Scrambler. It was a twin that, as best I recall, weighed about 350 lbs, maxed at around 100 mph, had about 33hp at 10,500 rpm, and I distinctly remember getting close to 100 mpg at times. It also had much safer 18/19 inch wheels so potholes and dirt roads were not an issue. Seems like Honda nailed it way back in the 1970s.

The yamaha mt15 is also very good. It gets like 55 kmpl (129 mpg) if you dont let the vva kick in (yamaha's vtec). Once the vva kicks in it gets like around 45kmpl (105 mpg). Its super light weight and the way everything is set with the handlebars and seating position, it makes you feel like youre riding a bicycle, you can just weave through the traffic. Looks pretty decent as well. I think it's the best 155cc engine. Super sporty but very fuel efficient.

The Honda CB350 looked like the best motorcyle. The Honda SuperCub looked like the best alternative for commuting and short trips. But, Royal Enfield is introducing the Meteor 650. Which will address the lack of power that the Meteor 350 is struggling with.

I bought a CB300R and I am getting a real-world MPG of around 65-70 (I think my life-time avg is 68) and I don't exactly take it easy on the thing.. and while it's still not crazy fast (I get left by anything over 180hp) it can comfortably do any road you stick it on, is lighter than hell and will put a smile on your face whenever you hit some twisty bits.

@@BladedAngel in my country, Honda Wave is around $1000 to $1500 and Super Cub is more than that. Since Honda stopped selling Super Cub in US for a long time, if American want to have it, they have to import it which increase the price I guess.

Speaking about the Super Cub, there's another bike by Honda with the same body type but is the replacement for the Cub and could go below 2000 USD (the 2013 model was 1,070 bucks brand new while the 2022 model is 1,405 bucks). Some might know it as Honda Wave, but in my place it shared a name with a certain Toyota sports car famous in the JDM community.

I'm an Aussie retired in the Philippines. Here some of the most popular bikes are the Honda XRM 125 and you will get 50to60 KPL. A FULL size with 19" wheels . The BAJA 100cc will do 80 KPH and 60 to 70 KPL and in the provinces you will see them with a top down (an open boxy sidecar) with 8+ adults in it or fully loaded with hollow blocks.

They are a very high-quality Chinese brand, I'd say almost as good as Honda. My dealer sometimes undercuts even the online sellers on some models.

I will have to check these out as they seem like a nice option. I currently drive a 2012 Prius PlugIn for my commute to work. Before anyone laughs or makes funny comments be advised I bought this car at a city 235 miles from my home! They had it fully gassed and battery charged and I drove it home going at least 74mph the entire way home. Once getting to my town I filled the tank and it only took 2.2 gallons!! 2.2 gallons for 235 miles!!! My trip meter is currently on 18,500 miles and my average listed mpg is 95.5. Yes this is a car but you just can’t beat the protection it gives when riding around idiot drivers! I long for the day when i can afford a Tesla or some other all electric or plugin hybrid (I’m looking for a van style). The only way we will be moderately safe on the roads is when all vehicles are self driving and communicate with each other. Great list of bikes to try now, can you do a video on which ones have the best towing capacity? If I can buy two bikes and connect them to a trailer it would be great to haul items around or go nomad across US.
