My friend passed away two weeks ago after being rear ended while on his motorcycle. He was someone who always wore padding and never drove recklessly. Just mentioning this to let everyone know that you MUST drive as if you’re invisible because most of the time you really are, and that most motorcycle crashes are often the fault of the person in a car, so safety is not always guaranteed. Stay safe out there everyone

Hey Jeremiah and Donut! The motorcycle content on Donut is something that I have been itching for and hope it continues. I work at a motorcycle dealership in San Francisco called Scuderia West. Would love to get you guys to come up and make a video about getting into a dealership and shopping for a new or used bike or scooter. We sell new Aprilia, KTM, Royal Enfield, and Vespas! And a ton of used bikes as well. Some of the best beginner bikes in the game along with top of the line track bikes litter our showroom. I am the apparel specialist and would love to talk about that and then show you the service department and the work they do back there. I own a KTM 790 Duke I'd be happy to let you rip around SF and some of the best motorcycle roads in the world just outside of SF. Please reach out and we can talk! Thanks Joey

Great job creating an overview of how to get into motorcycles for people who might be considering one, you made time to talk about safety gear, and covered how to thoroughly check a used bike before you buy it, as well as how to select the right bike for you.

Safety gear priorities were a bit out of order, frankly. Wrists and ankles come way before chest and legs for most new riders (Substantially more likely to drop your bike or check a curb than you are to go sliding at 130.) DR-Z is an odd choice for a new rider as well, most new riders hate bikes with high saddles. KLX would've been a better dual sport option (Rather than a fairly bloated ADV bike)

Grab a budget honda Rebel 500, beat the shit out of it, drop it a bunch like most new riders and not feel bad when you turn around and sell it a couple years later. Been riding 17 years, more than half my life now, I started on a 2007 125 at 16 and increased cc's incrementally, 400 klx, 500 buell, 600f4i. Once you know the style and what ergonomically suits you depending on your size then spend 10-20g on an Indian. Inevitably it's up to you just be careful, get the training and wear the proper gear.

Just a heads up for those looking into riding. Softer tires last about 3000 miles and cost around $400 a set. Also bikes need a lot of upkeep as far as simple maintenance. Think chain maintenance, proper pressure in tires, close attention to the brakes, clutch cable, etc. With all that being said, it is an amazing experience.

Those are all potential issues by choice. Unless you're going to the track you don't need $400 tires. I can put a good set of tires on any of my bikes for $200 that will last over 10k miles. Belt drive has no maintenance other than making sure it's tracking properly. Motorcycle's can be as cheap or as expensive as you want them to be.

Maybe like a "what do you actually need" regarding mods, which I guess is the concept of Hi/Low. For me personally, I'm trying to get into dual sport, light adventure riding. What mods are absolutely necessary, and which can you live without? Is it better to go light or go big depending on the trip? There are quite a few dual sport channels on KZbin already, but most don't ever talk about cost. Maybe donut could tackle more universal riding topics, but actually go in-depth on them.

Ton of valuable information. 1 very useful piece you omitted was when you are going to check it out ask the seller to make sure it’s cold when you get there. A cold start up shows problems that a warm start up can often mask. I know this 1st hand from my 1st bike. If the temperature on the bike is already reading or above 120 degree when you initially start it it means the bike was not fully cooled down and the owner could have tried to warm it up to mask issues.

Important note: DOT doesn't actually certify helmets, they just write the standard. A DOT sticker just means the manufacturer self-certifies the helmet meets the standard. There is enforcement however, DOT does random sample testing to verify compliance. If you want greater assurance of the safety level of a helmet, look for a Snell certification sticker. The Snell foundation DOES test helmets themselves before issuing a certification, and these standards are significantly higher than DOT standards(for example, DOT will certify a skullcap type helmet, but Snell will only certify one with full face coverage)

DOT and Snell aren't as focused on Motorcycles. An ECE helmet is rated for multiple impacts and specifically written with motorcycle helmets in mind. However, if you can't get ECE, Snell is still a little better than DOT using two impacts to test test the helmet. Verify the manufacturer, there are some knockoffs out there with fake rating stickers as well.

Important things to note about safety gear: DOT ratings are certified by the manufacturer rather than a third party, and they're not even required to actually do the tests, just certify that the helmet could pass the rather low standard. A DOT sticker doesn't say much more than that it is legally a helmet. You're best off looking for an ECE or Snell rated helmet, since they actually require third party verification, and have more modern standards for protection, best of the best are FIM homologated helmets, which are rated for racing use. Also, gear does deteriorate over time. Sun exposure, general wear and tear, and just plain age will degrade protection over time. It's generally recommended to replace your gear every 5 years or so, more often if it sees heavy use.

Great guideline though, Jerry!

Tire pressures are important too. Cupping is super common and low pressures in the front will actually make the front end feel stiff at low speeds. Always check tire pressures before you ride any bike making sure the pressure matches the frame spec for whatever rider weight category you fall under most sport bikes have a sticker on the rear swing arm, same goes for street and cruisers for the most part.

Bruh, those home wire connectors are aids. The worst thing Ive ever come across was a Triumph Speed Triple (mid 2000s model) with the wires held together by, and Im being completely serious, RTV silicone sealant. The guy came in acting beyond confused why he was having electrical issues and tried to argue with us that he did the work himself so it HAD to be good. Also, as @ThatBoiJahred said, you can definitely jump a bike with a car battery; but the car should be OFF. We use to have a large lithium car battery at our shop to use as a reserve/backup/jumper on a daily basis because the thing was a tank and would never lose power on a bike. The issue with jumping from a car isn't the battery itself, it is the alternator which puts out too much power for a bike to safely take.

Yes! Congrats for being able to talk about bikes, Jeremiah. Project bikes tend to be a bit more intimidating than cars because the margin for error is smaller (higher chance to get hurt if you make some mistake), but so cool either way. Just over a year ago I've gotten myself a crashed 03 Honda Hornet (599) as my second bike and first with "high" displacement. Working on her has been so rewarding and my expenses are just near the market price for that model while already having her modified to my taste and all painted and nice. Just can't wait to have her all ready so I can take her for a ride.

This reminds me of someone (call him Bob) who wanted to get a good budget sports car for racing, but a friend recommended that he could find plenty of affordable racing motorcycles that can beat most cars on the road. Bob found a slightly used Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa that was modified for racing (speed governor removed, high-compression pistons, improved porting, hotter cams, lighter weight mods, etc.) that was less than the stock cost of $17,000. Bob bought it, passed his motorcycle license test easily because at low speed, the Hayabusa is rather docile. Its massive 1340cc engine has so much torque that simply letting off the clutch on first gear smoothly propels you forward without incident. On top of that, it carries its weight pretty well. It doesn’t feel like you’re waddling around on a 600-pound, 197 horsepower behemoth. Bob drove around town for the first few days to wisely get acclimated to the bike and he found it very pleasant. Then Bob took the Hayabusa on the freeway to see how fast it could go. There he felt the yellow corkscrew of terror rising up his spine after he pulled back on the throttle and was thrown into a world of speed the likes of which he had never experienced before. When you twist the throttle-at any gear, at that, a sudden rush of acceleration overcomes you, similar to how a strong wave just washes you away at the beach. It feels like the ground is being pulled away beneath you. In other words, its power delivery is unlike most other bikes out there. So yeah, as a beginner, you’re most likely to be taken off guard by that much grunt, and before you know it you’re going at speeds that could land you in jail, or the morgue. Bob took his 'Busa on a racetrack, but could not shake the horror that that 220 mph modified widow-maker was going to kill him, so he sold it. Bob wanted to live.

Shame on u Bob! Loved the story tho. I was hopin Bob tames it n goes on to add a lil spooly snail to it. Somewhere down the line he takes it to a drag meet. There he's paired opposite someone on a sparkling green ZX14R, also with a spooly snail attached. They blast off the line.. But Bob loses by half a bike length. He's back at the pits n glances over at his opponent n the machine who stole the win from him. Bob is utterly mesmerized by the rider piloting it. There she is; *Bertha*. The "one" Bob's been looking for all these years. Bertha too glances back at Bob..her eyes twinkling. They lock eyes. Bob walks over and asks her out for a coffee. Bob n Bertha ride off into the sunset to live happily ever after. The End. 🏍️ ❤️

I mean, you should mention that DOT certification for a helmet is not enough for personal safety. SNELL won't kill you, but it could cause a concussion. ECE is a little better because they are tested for rotational impact, and thus probably won't give you a concussion, but they have less force impact requirements. FIM is the absolute best standard, they are leading the pack in both Impact and Rotational safety, but are obviously more expensive buckets

The best thing I bought was a 4x8 trailer with a auto locking wheel chock with tie-down points. ALWAYS put the bike into gear so if you break hard, the wheels stay planted and not roll. Also turn of the gas and wrap your loose ratchet ties to prevent super nasty scratches from it whipping against your plastics

To any potential buyers of cars/motorcycles if you plan to daily something with longevity make sure it shares multiple parts from other models or is a cult classic with a substantial userbase that won't be irrelevant for a long time.

Going with a 650 or 750 is the way to go since you can make a mistake and not die, a 250 doesn't give a good enough experience of what it is like to ride a fast bike, and a liter bike is just insanity, at least I thought so when I hoped on one for the first time. Ended up selling my 250 within a month and rode a 650 for a few years before I felt comfortable enough for a bigger bike. Of course experiences will vary, and it really, really helps to do a motorcycle safety course, seems lame but the better ones will definitely give good pointers and automatically give you your M license rating upon graduation.

This was a great one shot overview primer to motorcycle ownership. Before jumping into a bike for the first time I definitely recommend getting a little deeper on all the points mentioned in this video (especially helmet certs DOT covers a huge spectrum from basically garbage to track ready). Places like Revzilla and FortNine are great resources. The one area that I think Jerry glossed over too quickly though is on motorcycle boots. There are some motorcycle specific safety tech baked into nearly every moto boot that aren't common on standard shoes. The biggest one is crush protection, moto footwear will reinforce the sole so that if you dump your bike and trap your foot it wont taco and let your foot get crushed. Other big ones are malleolus protectors (the knobby bones on your ankle) inside and out, heel and toe reinforcements for crush and drag, shift pads so you don't wear a hole in the top of your boot as quickly, and either zippers or lace retainers because the last thing you want is your laces getting sucked into your chain at 70mph. If you can't afford motorcycle specific boots that's okay out the gate but it should be a priority. Just like you only have one noggin and one skin, you've only got one set of feet and fucking them up to save a buck is no bueno.

I've seen videos of people in tennis shoes wrecking their motorcycle. They literally fly off the first time they touch the ground. At minimum I wear work boots. Even then, they aren't made for extreme abrasions or impacts.

This video is awesome! As a motorcycle rider, everything here is great! Especially with the concept of graduating to faster bikes after starting small! I started on a Honda Rebel 250. Amazing beginner's platform! After a year, I switched to a Suzuki Bandit 600S and its been my baby ever since :) Looking forward to getting an electric sport bike in the near future!

My bigger younger brother (trust me it makes sense) bought the same body bike i started on in 2006 just about 6 months ago! My first real bike was a new fresh 2006 Yamaha YZF-R6s. My Brother Bought 2003 Yami R6 and he is a far better rider than i ever was even tho i can ride! Im 37 now and hes 24 and i have no need to worry about his skills as a rider! But yes as a 10 plus year GM dealer tech, bikes are easy to work on and even my brother (while not his field) has learned SO MUCH about working on cars/bikes and is often even help to me in the gurage!

This video might be a bit older but I just found it, and his point about a bike being easier to work on than a car is so accurate, I've been working on my project truck for a couple years and it's not running, took 2 days to get my project bike running

Loving more motorcycle stuff coming out. Your point on miles < maintenance is a huge thing I stress to friends and clients. I've personally owned two Honda RC51 with over 100,000 miles (with a handful of track days), an Aprilia RSV4rr with 43,000 miles (and a LOT of track days), and worked on a Ducati 749 with 96,000 miles (before the poor thing was burnt down in the owners garage). Its pretty common to think that 20,000 miles on a bike is a lot, but it really *shouldn't* be. The issue is more often than not that the owner didn't take care of the bike during those 20,000 miles; so a bike that should be fine is thrashed now. In my experience, especially with my RSV4rr, a bike that is ridden hard but well taken care of will outlast a bike that is babied and questionably taken care of.
