STOP DYING PLEASE.

[@ognen5658]

A lot of what you said about people skipping steps is also because of the America motorcycle system, everywhere else in the world there's progressive licenses where you are literally forced to start on a 125. I think crashing on a 125 is less devastating and gives you that reality check where you get to see you're not invincible without straight up throwing your life away.

[@2JZDestroyer]

same with cars, a good buddy of mine started out with a v6 charger(powerful enough to get in trouble, but nowhere near as dangerous as some of the other chargers). after a promotion at work and some training on AC(god has he improved), he decided to get a Scat pack, having started with an X308 XJ(V8, plenty of power for a noob with a world beating suspension setup) and currently driving an SL500(decent power, but aggressive traction control; it won't let you lose traction in the rain; aggressively cuts engine power). My first warning to him was about tire specs , as in do not ignore tire speed ratings(I.E Y rated tires are capable of 186+mph , so they're even better at keeping you shiny side up at 60mph in the rain than anything of a lower rating). He learned the hard way by spinning in the rain, no damage to the car or himself; but the next week he had purchased Y rated tires and booked a autox event. I can't stress the value of training enough.

If you need the law to babysit you then you're part of the problem. Start on a 300 if you can't ride. It doesn't take a genius to know a litre bike is a bad idea for a beginner

[@ommanomnom]

heavily agree. Im in the UK and I had to start on a 125, i passed my full test and car test, but i wanted a big bike instead of a car, so I was broke and stuck on a 125 for 3 years. Now I have a 600 and I am so glad I had lessons on a large bike and years on a 125 so I have already made all the mistakes before in a forgiving way. I have had so many near misses, near slips, and random breakdowns on my beater 125, I am pretty prepared on my 600 and I respect the power I've now got.

[@Schemingdemon]

Youre speaking the truth. Take the steps or respect the power of a motorcycle. Social media has for sure made the most impact on doing crazy stuff. If you are riding on the street you should be riding less than 50% of your ability, so there is room for when something unexpected happens. Those things still happen and people riding beyond their skill get killed.

[@wishesm3]

Nailed it

[@asdfomfglol]

Forced to start isn't true. It's just that in most places, you can get a 125 bike with a normal driver's license where as you need a special permit for bike higher than 45cv.

[@jessicaturner2890]

I agree 1000% percent. Been riding a long time, longer than these kids have been alive. It's truly sad. Not to say I wasn't an idiot at one point but I still had common sense and respected the bike. I knew better. I don't want to see anymore people die either. Even though I don't know them it still hurts.

When I was in my teens back in the 90s, I rode 50cc bikes/scooters. They didn't require a license. I didn't care that they couldn't go fast, it was still fast enough for riding around town. And I got myself in trouble a couple of times. To me even 125cc and 250cc bikes seemed too powerful when I was first starting out lol. And technology has improved a lot since then too. Today's 300cc and 400cc which are commonly recommended as beginner bikes are so much more powerful than what we had back then.

[@itsGuroo]

i found out about all the biker youtubers (other than DoItWithDan era bikers) after i bought a bike, bought it bc my dad had a CBR and i was allll about bikes since. unfortunately... getting into the bike scene, making friends with bikes and whatnot showed me the dark side of things. People lose their life, lose limbs, lose the ability to think for themselves. Its a machine of chaos, if a fire fighter doesnt do hours of rigorous fire training what do you think will happen in a real fire?? Seat time is huge, understanding the commonalities of cars and other things on the road.

And this is why i changed my mind on getting a ninja 500 and went for an mt-03 instead. I finished my class 4 days ago, had time to think, asked my instructor what bike i learned on and its CC. I figured going from learning on a 250cc bike to a 351cc bike is mich safer than going with the ninja. Did some research, saw that it can run 75-80 mph just fine and that's all i need while im learning. Maybe one day ill get a bigger engine bike but i dont need it, especially right now

I started on a Honda Shadow (SSLLOOOOOOWWW) but it was SOOOO FUN out-growing that bike and learning to stop quickly, lean it hard, do little wheelies, ride in the rain, do burnouts, slides, etc...Slow bikes a super fun to learn in, and you can't really hurt yourself too bad in them. I think about this experience everyday, "if i didn't start in that bike, I would not be ready for my ZX9R"...AT ALL! The ZX9R is heavy with a longer wheel-base than most crotch-rockets. No ABS, No Traction Control, nothing. Carbureted engine (not smooth, very touchy throttle)...Took me a full year to stop feeling the butterflies with that thing...

Luckily I stopped in time and she was just sitting there in her car screaming "IM SORRY" still blocking my path. Glad you're ok and going to keep riding, just assume everybody is going to pull out in front of you all the time. I'm 37 and have 4 kids at home so when I ride my brain is constantly analyzing every car and what the driver is seeing/thinking.

Then it got totaled because another guy on a GSXR decided to run into the back of me in the twisties. Anyways I upgraded and I got an MT-09 SP. Your right there are levels to this riding shit. The 400 is nothing compared to an MT-09. I think trackdays have helped with the transition from the 400. Its all helped with controlling the bike as well as controlling your throttle. Its made me be smoother overall. Im right there with you there been too many rider deaths, whether it be them at fault or some dubass driver.

People watch these guys and want to do the same “because its cool” Most people with bikes have grown up riding bikes their entire lives because they genuinely enjoy it. Others buy one “because its cool”, thats what gets people killed. These new riders dont want to put work in and cant understand the right moments or places to go fast. Especially running from police, speed is not the way to run. Again its all about experience and new riders dont feel the need to learn. Its pretty ironic most of these people dying have no license, no insurance, and a clean record, its honestly Natural Selection at this point.

Hot take, I think raw skill and natural talent play a huge part in whether or not you can safely buy a 1000cc bike. You also need a lot of discipline. There is only so much that experience can get you. The average American driver has been on the road for 17-20 years, and most of them suck at driving. If you've ever gotten in an accident that is your fault, you should probably never buy an 1000cc, regardless of how much experience you obtain. Raw skill + discipline >>>> experience

Last year November i was in a big accident, it wasnt my fault (a car suddenly pulled out infront of me and i tboned them) and it really puts into perspective how dangerous bikes are and if you even want to continue riding. My dad has had bikes his whole life and i use to backpack him from a very young age, but even that couldnt prepare me for riding my own bike.

Hell, I'll probably miss the nimble little thing. But I'm aware of what I'm getting into and It's just a bike I want to grow in and be able to tour with. Acting like a maniac is not the point. Giving heart attacks to people doing their grocery is not the point. Losing the bike and a leg to a pothole is not the point. Getting girls is not the point... and let's be real, bikes only work on guys. There's actually a "scooter group" in my town. Kids with very recent and capable machines. They ride as if they had scooters (all packed up, no muffler and just revving through town). It's sad, because while they aren't killing themselves they're out being nuisance. I assume what they crave is attention, because they don't seem to go out in the country much. Other than that, I don't hear about that many sport bike crashes where I live so that's a good thing. Most riders are older dudes with cruisers / Harleys. Plates are still 2K tho

[@aaronferguson9328]

thats a big jump, i mean a gigantic leap. i would strongly rec. going with a r6, only a 20mph difference and the r6 wont accidentally stand up when you slip on throttle a millesec.

​@@aaronferguson9328 All of the skills he needs to grow into the R1, he should have after riding the R3 for 4 years. Just dont go mach stupid or push yourself into situations you arent used to, all stuff youd learn after riding for a while

Be safe mate make sure you get used to not having abs

[@Soliye.]

@@aaronferguson9328 Update: had to ride the R1 500km to get it home. No words can describe it, was laughing for the first hour at the cheer insanity this bike is. The riding is however incredibly smooth and responsive. I actually think the throttle is very friendly in how it delivers power. You won’t “accidentally” get too much, only what you ask for. What I need to get used to however is the low speed handling. It feels strange, not just because of the weight but the way you push on the bar isn’t like the R3 or other bikes I’ve used. Must be the angle. Otherwise incredible bike, no regret!

[@Black_Heart_Defense]

I rode dirt bikes for about 6-7 years as a kid. I’m looking to get into a 600-750 street bike because I know I can respect the power of it. If I try to start on something like a 300-400 I just wouldn’t respect it and would get way too bold. Idk if I’m looking for opinions on if it’s a good idea but yeah, feel free to give them.

[@Black_Heart_Defense]

Also I’m 27 so I guess I’m a little more responsible than a 17-18 year old and got some responsibilities and things in my life that would keep me from being overly reckless

Speaking facts bro I already ride dirt bike and haul ass on roads so I’m good to have fun still gonna take it step by step but people who have no experience need to see this video and it’s good not too rush even tho I’m excited to run from cops go triple digits but I needa make it back home to my mom still🤙

[@KTT1985]

Bigger does not mean better man. Kids these days think they need the biggest and fastest bike. Start out low and slow. Low meaning a low cc bike. Take it easy learn how it feels moves and the weight. Best of luck to all you beginners out there.

[@MHLivestreams]

Being a penniless teenager in the 80s did that as standard. Natural progression.

[@stuka7907]

I will be honest im a young dumb guy who bought a rlly fast bike for my first a Ducati 749s.THIS WAS ALSO MY FIRST TIME RIDING OR BEING AROUND BIKES I AM STUPID and i will admit that pls to the other young dumb person like me get something like an r3 you will be able to gain infinitely more experience and wisdom with on of those then a r6 or a r1. i still to this day think about buying an r3 there fun. all bikes are fun. what i think people misunderstand about bike culture is the best part about it isn't flying 200 down the interstate or out running cops. Its just the feeling of being on a bike and riding with other like minded people. Don't listen to the people who sham you or say your to slow for owning a 300. whoever tf says shit like that needs to stop cause they could damn well be the reason some young dumb 17y old like myself kills himself

[@deleteduser3455]

I really hate the regulations on motorcycles when it comes to taxes and licensed and not getting to ride something like a surron everywhere or the aggressive police. But obviously I want people to be safer on them

[@wishesm3]

Yep

[@NanjoooL]

where i live there is age restriction for the licenses to get higher powered bikes. Where i am you need to be 24 to get basically anything over 400 OR you need to have had an A2 for 2 years. And you can only get an A2 license at 18. (A2 is the license 1 step below A which is the above 400 class you could say). l

rode a 125 dirtbike when i was 13/14.. 29 now just bought a 700cc bike about a month ago, finally decided to take it up to 100mph last night after putting 500 miles on it, be safe out there and take your time getting comfortable bros. edit after watching more of the video: leave your fkin mirrors on your bike too holy shit man...

[@alphaHero100]

If you're young, start on a small bike. If you're a more mature rider, it's fine hopping right on a 600.

About a month and 1 week almost my friend died on a ride with me, look up “ motorcycle dies Tacoma Washington “ you will see my gsxr black with white rims.

I’m 6 food and I don’t have any crazy issues. Sometimes my knees get annoyed but that’s after HOURS of riding

For my first bike i got a 50cc im new to riding and still got it still rlly fun and i love riding it ill take it easy until i buy a bigger bike 😅

Within the first minute he's riding aggressively on the freeway with short sleeves. He should take his own advice. Dudes gonna need someone elses skin if he crashes.

[@MHLivestreams]

The whole video is jacketless, probably just normal sneakers too and not boots. We see gloves though, so that's something.

[@kendalllowe7527]

But also, he’s experienced. It’s not his first month on a bike trying that. That’s what he’s literally saying. People jumping steps and ripping the throttle cutting traffic month one versus being experienced.

[@DRTAPER]

Thing is he said himself “ive been that guy” admitting to it. Second he was giving advice to new riders that think they’re an invincible god on their first bike

[@nickwilliams2415]

@@DRTAPER One of my sisters close friends had been riding for years. He now has shark skin in the places the road took his. Many months of recovery. There's countless stories like this. Riding experience doesn't mean you shouldn't wear appropriate gear. Why would anyone take advice from someone that's clearly an idiot? "Hey, I'm gonna give new riders advice on how to be safe, while being an example that once you feel "comfortable" you no longer need to wear gear." That's some 80 IQ reasoning right there. Seeing as you're defending him, you're likely in that 75-85 IQ range as well. This means your opinion is irrelevant. Have a good one.

@@garlandtx10 I'm just playing man. I do think that 600 is the limit for a beginner. There's too many learning curves. MSF course will get you on your feet but they don't teach all that much. I know some people start on 600s and 1000s but I wouldn't condone it myself

[@garlandtx10]

@@liminality8791 I didn't take offense bro, no need to apologize. I still believe that should someone have the desire and fearful respect for a bike they make no mistake mounting up with helmet and proper gear. The key is they have thought of the consequences thoroughly and understand the task at hand in working with that powerful of a machine. We like to think we control the bike but that's a mistake as well we work with the bike and physics to address course and carve up that road. Stay safe my friend.

[@silver_surfer88]

Still see people brag all over than in the usa you should start with a 1000cc, probably the sames that have not much brains to say a thing like that. Those few that really can start with a 1000cc, are careful by nature and know that the majority of others are risking their lives so they will never recomend that to a newbie. People dont understand one little mistake on the throttle, you are gone, the weight, the speed that you get ahead is too much for the brain compreend its possible, thats a kind of bike that its made to bite you back to put you on the edge, and then you are still learning with a rocket under you, you will learn nothing out of fear

Good starter bikes?
