TIPS FOR BUYING YOUR FIRST MOTORCYCLE! | Moto-Monday!

[@StrictlyPlinking]

With a grain of salt, I started on my Suzi DR200 back in 2007. I was 40 when I started; I definitely took the conservative route and am still here living to tell about it. 😝

[@SketchyUncleSal]

I just got my first motorcycle and am in the process of getting it on the road here in Lancaster, PA. I’m new to motorcycles, so please keep the content coming, and any helpful tips would be appreciated! Thanks Talon! Keep it up!

[@ggdonchoppa231]

I’m a big fan I’ve been watching you for a while now you got me wanting to start riding motorcycles I’m probably going to buy a Honda grom but as far as a daily driver you should get a Nissan Z maybe a older 1 I’m sure you can find 1 for a reasonable price

[@deltabravo1257]

I have a small fleet in my garage. 2002 DRZ400S that I've had since 2006, 2019 450 EXC-F that I bought new, Yamaha T7 (Tenere 700) that I bought new a 6 weeks ago. Another factor is "what type of riding does a person intend to do"... but that's hard to figure out if a person has never ridden before.

[@the_black_arts]

Been riding since 1979, have ridden nearly every make and type of moto, have probably 1/2 mil miles under my belt- best advice for a new rider buying a first bike is to buy used, buy inexpensive, buy relatively small displacement. You’ll almost certainly drop your first bike, so don’t get hungup on looks and don’t buy something with fairings or something you’ll be heartbroken over when you dump it on its side. You may also have a bad experience and decide riding isn’t for you. Pop your cherry on and get your learning done on an inexpensive disposable moto, and then spend the dough on something nicer. As for sportbikes, yep they are awesome and great bang for the buck and that can be very hard to resist, but they absolutely suck at everything except going super fast. They’re a vanity purchase unless you plan on track days- or if you can afford several motos, sure add a sportbike to your stable. They’re a terrible choice for daily driver or if you plan to own just one motorcycle.

[@JonnyBgooD007]

Yep, looking to purchasing my first as well. Keep this stuff going!

[@domslivin]

Yes for beginner tips, and maybe a little information on getting a motorcycle license, the test, what to know etc.

[@CampingRuss]

Great video you hit a lot of things I’ve been riding since I was three and I’m 54 this year between 5 different Dirtbike‘s and 4 different street bikes so I thought you hit a lot of great points. only one thing I would add if you’re looking at a Harley Davison which I’ve got a softail go to a Harley dealership sit on a lot of different Harley bikes they also offer a class to help you get your license highly recommend it also on Dirtbike so I have a 2022 KTM 250 XCW-tpi I absolutely love it, my uncle has the 2021 KTM 300 lotta guys will jump out there and get a 450 and they realize it’s too much of a bike for them I love how you hit on everything great video buddy ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out

[@J.Young808]

I’m looking at getting an MT03 as a first motorcycle. I live in Honolulu and don’t see a want for larger cc’s

[@thomasfx3190]

Mine was a Honda CB700SC Nighthawk, it was really fun!

[@blanquitodjj]

Nice man. I’ve been riding since I was in high school too. Perfect tips! I’m currently on a 2020 Yamaha MT07

[@TalonSei]

Good choice 👍🏻

[@ericbutler8183]

Thanks for the information Talon.

[@nikomoto6757]

Just got KLX300SM, I enjoy a lot.

[@AZNHELLCAT]

Just got brought me a 23 grom abs. I need tips on riding now sai!

[@Sam_of_Anarchy92]

@Talon Sei Could you do a video on carry gun holster options while riding on your motorcycles the way that works for you and other options you've tried

[@aal9207]

I love the husky more than the grom.

[@380357mag]

Can I get the details on what you did to the rear of your 701 as far as lights and plate etc

[@troysei8290]

I started on a 883 Sportster. Wear a helmet. Yup !

[@davidkay1386]

The best advice I could give is to take the motorcycle classes. There you will learn how to ride in most situations. Also buy a used bike as your first ride. Because just about everyone drops their bike once.

[@happiknife7716]

Awesome video. Love these videos. Always wanted a motorcycle 🏍 maybe when the kiddos are a bit older. All good ideas 💡 especially about fuel injection! ⛽️

[@tannertaylor5849]

Stoked u brought back the Moto Vlogg's, finally!!?!!?!?! Seemed too have been Yr's, since u'd last dropped a new Moto Vlog!!?!

[@TalonSei]

I motovlogged 3 days in a row on the Mexico trip back in April 🤘🏼

[@kracked6868]

Another good first bike might be the XT250 from Yamaha. It's similar to a trials bike, low center of gravity (nimble), cheap, fun.

[@marti_micfly7416]

Would you be willing to do a video specifically on gas, mileage, and far commuting? I drive 80 miles x3 a week for work and I’m specifically looking into this bike to see if it’s actually worth it to save on gas. Please and thanks

[@benjones8977]

Beginner tips for riding motorcycles would be good. I wonder if their classes to learn? 🖖

[@TalonSei]

Most states have motorcycle safety courses which are a good starting point and can end with you getting a license

[@jkn2k]

What's your model ?

[@dsolja]

I was looking into getting a grom but I live in the country so I need something that can it highway speeds... safely

[@benjamingorgoni5492]

06 F4i was my first bike.

[@alexthayn8690]

about choosing a motorcycle in Utah to get the motorcycle endorsement, it is based on cc after 690cc; there are no reactions on bikes; what would you recommend for a bike never really ridden a motorcycle except a little pit bike

[@MrJ8969]

i want to learn how to ride i been wanting a Honda Grom for good while now i might jump on it sooner or later! i want a motorcycle for most getting to work and back and riding around town mostly!

[@vitalyyuro]

Would you recommend a drz400sm?

[@CaptainCrunchZB]

Yes man you did it

[@Wklambert]

Damn, thanks fir this!! lol, I always have a hell of a time w gearing. "2-up, 3-down" I can't ever remember that, lol. Do they put gear indicators on bikes? (Stupid question, I know but...)

[@mookyDaFoo]

They do on some bikes! But it’s not a stupid question!! An don’t worry u will get use to it

[@youknowwithMartyKauffman]

Yeah that’s a cool bike

Husqvarna beautiful motorcycle 👍🏾

[@Frank7G]

everybody knows you go big or go home on your first bike that's what I did good old Hayabusa for my first bike also learned to ride on that bike. but all seriousness I just tell everyone to just keep a level head & don't be dumb on a bike.

[@jaredthompson8188]

Hoping gas gas brings their 700 to the US and ill definitely get that. Want a bike and I could fit my toolbelt and a pack out on the back for work

[@timfrancis6774]

@@TalonSei thank you very much. Any tips for buy a used 250x what to look out for?

[@TalonSei]

They will probably be difficult to find on the used market but just look for typical wear and tear points. I’d prefer something relatively unmodified.

[@mattyvapers8173]

@@TalonSei ok thank you so much so look for something preferably unmodified and check for usual wear and tear

You don't want an 883 buy a 1200 you'll get old of the 883 in 2 months
