How Much Does a Motorcycle REALLY Cost? (The HIDDEN Entry Price)

[@yaya5tim]

the most important thing is the insurance, that's what a lot of people care about

[@anthonymontes8476]

Great job really enjoy ur vids. I have a Honda 500 VFR Intecptor and a Honda 700 VFR Interceptor. Please be careful people don't see motorcycles and turn in front of you or run you off the road. Couple of things I have learned #1 have a loud exhaust people will hear you even if they don't see you. #2 Assume people don't see you that are turning in front of you, flash your lights if you see someone attempting a turn in front of you #3 always ride in front of traffic so that cars can't cut you off when the don't see you, drive defensivly and always wear a helmet and gloves and invest in some knee protection. Motorcycles are great for your mind because you have to keep your mind on the task at hand.

So it's affordable to get a 6k bike but it's expensive to get 1k decent protection...

[@InsomniacNaz]

Value for money. That’s why it feels more expensive.

[@YayaTia_II]

​@@InsomniacNaz@andreisir yeah but if you crash you will thank the 1k protection gear and also the bike insurance.

[@not1au]

I didn't have to take any course. Already had my driver's license then I took the exam for my motorcycle endorsement. If I wanted to save money on my motorcycle insurance the course would've helped but $30 a month for fully coverage, roadside assistance, etc,ect it would've taken years to see the "savings".

[@thilomuller1093]

Here in Germany the license is around 2k

[@YAHlando]

Zzzzzxxx..7,cause xxxoxico ox gu9,,

[@matthewclark6239]

Wow. It would be under $100 here in East Tennessee, but I'm going to take all the safety courses. 6 courses, $325 each course.

[@nameless_channel5070]

No insurance? here in NY the MSF course is $400-$500

[@jony891]

Is that a lot? And if so what’s average

[@kpopmonhee5311]

Woah. The one in my city is 150, yours is so expensive

[@YayaTia_II]

Lessons I already spent like $300 AUD and gear I have bought in advance the full set minus boots which were donated to me by a friend. around $500 AUD then bike phone mounting about $150 AUD still haven't gotten my license yet but will do some more bicycling as per the instructions of my instructor before I go for another lesson/the test after that hopefully. Then need to get my license updated and get the bike and then get insurance so will be very costly but I think it will be worth it. Also, looking at Yamaha R3 or Kawasaki Ninja 300/400.

[@jurgenvanrosmalen5946]

Omg man, in my country it costs somewhere between 800 to 1400 euro's to get your motorcycle license (depending on how quick of a learner you are and if you pass every exam in one time)...😅😥 and you found a little over 200 dollars a lot???😅 Ps: In my country you have to do 3 exams, one theoretic, one for handling and one for on the public road. Only to do those three exams once, you have to pay at least €215,50 (these costs can climb up in price if you for example want more extra time in the theoretic exam or if you have to borrow the gear and/or the motorcycle from your driving school, which you almost always have to do)... Also you need to have a health declaration which costs at least €37,80 and if you don't have that, you can't participate in the handling and public road exam (also if you want to get that declaration on paper send to your home adress, you pay €10,- more!). And to get your license (re)printed, it will cost you another €39,75 (if you don't want to wait too long for your license to get (re)printed, you have to pay over €30,-). So all sumed up, without any lessons, without a theory book, without a motorcycle and gear for your exams and if you would pass every test in one time, you have to pay at least €293,05 in my country...

[@jurgenvanrosmalen5946]

By the way, after watching the whole video, I found out that everything is a lot more expensive in my country😓😔 for a helmet for example is the least expensive I can het it €100,-. Also the motorcycle itself costs at least more than double the price of yours. To get a high milage Yamaha R3 with scuffs and such, I would have to pay like €4500,-. In my the country (which is the Netherlands by the way) there is just one thing where a motorcycle is cheaper than a car and that is the monthly costs (if you are young at least). And you've probably also heard about the A1, A2 and A licenses we have in Europe. So if you want to begin riding when you're young, you have to pay even more🥴

[@QuickshiftCars]

Thats crazy! I'm glad things are so much easier in the US, although it probably makes our roads a little less safe since anyone can ride. 😅 Good luck 🤘🤘

[@jurgenvanrosmalen5946]

@@QuickshiftCars Yeahh that's probably true😅 Thankss!!🤟🏻🤙🏼

[@jammytea4117]

I've also bought an R3 recently. Not entirely finished with getting the full license but I've invested quite a bit already. In England we have a different route to get a license but so far it is CBT: (£130), Theory test (£25), 6h extra training on road (£59, optional training), HJC i70 Helmet (£130), IXS Eagle 2 Jacket (£180), BKS urban brown boots (£80), Gloves not purchased yet. The rest of my license will cost a couple of hundred 😔 The bike itself I bought for £2920, only 20 miles clocked on it from previous owner who bought it brand new from dealer and had already done MOT and changed oils. An absolute bargain. Extra costs include security, my Oxford Hardcore XL lock and chain was £50 whilst a spare bike battery for future use was £20. Last couple of things include cleaning equipment and lube for chain. That would be roughly £20 for the rest I assume. Total cost is about £1k of extra costs after buying the bike 😭 so much more than I thought

[@jammytea4117]

I didn't even include future insurance of MOT costs ☠️ it's expensive to ride in England

[@aroldoescobar4946]

Thanks for the info rilly helps I want a bike but my first step is getting my license

[@crenmao]

Oh my sweet summer child... 2k in Germany, 1.6k if you own a driver's license for cars already for a few years with driving experience. Nowadays you have to fully gear up before you get to sit on a school bike. 1.3k for gear. Bought full leather for best protection. And with the security of good gear you gain confidence. I was allowed to do unecessary things like knee downs during practice. And most people buy small/midrange cc's as a first or a used bike, because everyone knows: you will drop your first bike. So we are sitting around 3k before you get to ride legally here. And if the instructor deems you unworthy for taking the test- you need to book more hours. Usually 45-65€ ea. And practicing on public parking lots is illegal here. All in all please don't cry about 300 squids for your license and please get yourself more gear for the times you are not just cruising. Because with that gear you WILL hurt yourself with a R3.

$10,200 For my 2024 Kawasaki Ninja 500 40th anniversary edition. $1000 for my Shoei GT-Air 3 on sale. $610 for my Alpinestars Supertech r v2 vented boots on sale. $310 for my Alpinestars GP Pro R3. $500 for a pre owned leather suit.

[@callumsmith338]

You did your gear and bike purchasing wrong. You bought a bike, and then with whatever money you had left bought gear. It should be the other way.

[@mcmaleny]

It’s over $300 in NYS to take the MSF course

[@timothybooker5168]

Bro., non of your numbers are bad at all. This is much more cost effective than owning a car.

[@LTPizza4541]

Thx for ur opinion on it and where should I go to buy that bike it looks like it could be for me

Is insurance not required in Florida?

[@dmitriyk1857]

@@QuickshiftCars Washington State does require it.

[@Julietmateus]

It’s a grey area because motorcycle insurance in FL is not required unless you get in an accident… Kinda abnormal when a lapse in car insurance for a week in FL will automatically suspend your DL.

[@Redbird281]

I wanna take the permit test after quarantine what should I study to prepare

[@lucyferina]

look at videos on how to shift gears on a motorcycle, there are a few slow turns you have to perform during the test, don't use the front brake on those, maybe if allowed, lightly feather the back brake, make sure you get used to where all the controls are so that you don't have to look when you need to use them, don't (and this is for the rest of your time riding) don't ever forget to turn off your turn signal. Have fun most of all don't let others tell you how dangerous motorcycles are and instill fear into you. Everything you do has some negatives, but we do it anyway so focus on the positives like great parking spots, super cheap on gas, don't have to be stuck in traffic....

[@LamaKING21]

Just got my permit today. Go on google and search "(insert state here) Motorcycle permit test questions"

I'm looking at getting into the hobby. How hard is it to qualify insurance if you're under 25?

[@emilianohuerta4817]

Not hard I am 18 and was pretty easy

[@alirizvi5508]

Wb insurance?

[@martinsevaldson2583]

Hahaha you only pay 195$ to get your motorcycle license!! In Norway I had to spend about 2500$ in total for all the obligatory courses!

My name is Stoney Granville and I live in Austin I need a motorcycle

[@ramzinasser5387]

Do you need motorcycle boots or would any pair of boots work?

[@N3Garage]

motorcycle boots are better, because they have something that protects you better than the usual boots you wear for fashion if you are riding fast it's better to get high cut boots that protects your shin and you also need padded pants for knee protection and padded jackets to protect your elbows etc
