If you're nervous or a little scared, that's good, and keeping that little fear or scare keeps you alive. It's when you ride with no fear, you should be scared.

[@Dwayneff]

I can't like this enough, the fear is what keeps you alive. It's a good thing to be scared while riding, keeps you alert and focused.

I've watched a couple of these videos now, and all of them have this moment where the rider realizes how much fun riding is, despite being nervous about their first ride. It's incredible

[@brickson98m]

Dude. For your only experience being the MSF course, you’re riding smooth as hell. For a beginner rider, clutch control was good, rev matching was great, etc… honestly impressive. Have you rode dirt bikes before? Super smooth for a first time rider if not. Just don’t get too fearless on the bike and you’ll be perfectly fine. Just get some gear. It’s not if you go down, it’s when. The better rider your are, and the more gear you got, the less bad it will be when you go down. I got hit and got a dislocated shoulder and 6 months of P.T. My gf had some torn gloves and scratched plastics. Some people don’t go down as hard as others. Just watch out for the other idiots in the road and you’ll be good. I’d have thought you rode before with the way you ride. You’ll turn out to be a damn good rider. Been riding on the street for 8 years. Riding in general (dirt bikes) for 17 years. I’m excited for you, because you seem like you got a year ahead of most brand new riders in the way you control the bike.

[@antoenio]

hey man, I really appreciate all your advice. It means a lot coming from you. I’m sorry to hear about your crash man. Glad that you guys are OK though. ive ridden a few 50cc dirt bikes when i was little but thats about it

Its badass to see people go through the same feelings and emotions i went thru barely 8 months ago.

Save cash my friend (if possible)... No reason to pay high interest on a toy

[@Jose137894]

The difference between full converge and liability only may be substantial as well. Do your research before financing. Don’t want to end up with a huge monthly bills (note and insurance).

[@nkha23]

Seriously, try and save to avoid interest and higher insurance coverage. Keep an eye on fb marketplace. Someone reminded me to check it, and I legit picked up a 2024 R3 with only 115m for just $4600. Dude posted for 4750, but was OK taking an even 4600. I nearly soiled myself. At a dealer, MSRP is 5499 before all of the "fun" fees.

I've been thinking about getting a bike for a few years now. I didn't dare get one when I was younger because I love speed way to much and being on 2 wheels vs 4 is definitely a lot more dangerous.

[@Yerocco]

I highly suggest going and sitting on as many bikes as you can before ultimately making that decision. I had my eyes set on the white 24 R3. I was just at the dealership yesterday. To me it wasn’t even close to being one of the more comfortable things to sit on. I still have the R3 as my background on my phone though because it’s so dang pretty. It wasn’t a height issue. More so just the way the tank and seat met, my inner thighs didn’t like that. The ninja 500 was the most comfortable one I sat on. In that category of bike. I tried to convince myself I liked the R3. But I couldn’t. I sat on a dual sport and actually really liked it the most but wouldn’t use it the way it should be. So I decided my first bike is between a couple bikes. And neither is the R3. My buddy thought it sat great except for the mirrors. He didn’t have an issue with the tank so it could just be person to person lol.
