Beginner - Learning how to ride on a Yamaha R1 - mastering the basics

An R1 is not an ideal starter bike, but the point of the video is that you can teach anyone to ride anything, as long as you follow the correct process and take it nice and slow. In this first part, we tackle the basic controls, use of the clutch and balancing. In the next video, we will take things a step further and work on improving riding skills such as leaning/turning, gearing, and emergency stops.
