This Beginner Rider made a HUGE mistake... (It Came From Facebook - Phoenix, AZ)

[@Gofr5]

I once saw a local ad for a WHEELCHAIR compatible Hayabusa. It was quite the amazing thing to behold. The entire thing was modded out to accommodate a wheelchair user. No idea how they actually operated it as I'm assuming their legs weren't working???, but it was impressive AF. Once a busa boy, always a busa boy, no matter what. lol

[@LtJackboot]

I don't think it would be fun to do Busa speeds in a wheelchair rig.

[@georgeperkins4171]

​@@LtJackbootthe busa might be the reason for the wheelchair. Talk about getting back on the horse. good heart.

[@redddo1]

Dropped my new Triumph T120 after 2 weeks of ownership. Was on a dirt road and did a u-turn on a steep hill. Luckily the engine guards and my boots and gear handled it. Right time, wrong place, weight distribution not yet figured out. It happens and can happen again.

[@racing_mntage1584]

Ahh man, shit like this on the indian roads can be really dangerous. Kinda why im a bit afraid of riding and i just take it slow.

[@georgelemmon4851]

Dropped my Triumph Thunderbird right before testing for my license. I looked down at the box I needed to put my front wheel in and didn't get my feet down in time. One clutch lever and some ego later...

[@costasgeorgiou5015]

Wow that kawi (shit BTW) looks like the 1990 kawi zx6r I used to have for my ex chic( both shit)... 😂 😂 😂 They didnt change much over the years. 11:20

[@kish4ri]

Reject amazon bike in a box. Embrace clapped marketplace ninja 300.

[@JohnDoe-zo5tu]

That guy's not going to get $15k for that Busa. But if he lists it for $10k, his phone is going to be ringing off the hook with people offering him $7k.

[@gary_payton]

"Take responsibility for your actions!" rant had me rolling. Maybe next episode you could find an ad where someone says "had to lay'er down". We should invent a drinking game for this or bingo.

[@jeremysigars4812]

The rant on the Venom made my day. Thanks Yam needed that laugh for sure.

[@viktoras.buivydas]

Got my motorcycle license on September, rode for almost a month with my brother's suzuki bandit, after that bought my own kawasaki z750 2007 for only 2200 euros at the end of motorcycle season. You can buy really good motorcycle for cheap if you are looking to buy before winter

[@juanmejiagomez5514]

Bro, 2200 euros is crazy, how many kilometres did the bike have?

[@elcookiemonsteru]

Wut, where you got that? Here in Finland it's easy 4k

I often see the thing where people ask MSRP or more for low-mile, recent-model-year bikes. Maybe this worked during the pandemic, but dealers have inventory now.

[@justsomeguy6817]

Just passed my MSF course!!! Super hype man, thanks for all your videos!

[@adam346]

just buy w/e you want but make sure it's a reputable bike, also not too powerful... no Chinese bike in a box shenanigan, k?

[@timothymitchell2831]

those venom x22r max's are rough. great to spend a week on to learn how to not fall but get rid of it before stuff starts falling off or in my case the piston becomes... not that

[@dallasdandigitalproduction393]

Great series Yammie. I envy your bike insights. I always learn something new.👏👏

[@IamProvocateur]

CF Moto has some pretty amazing incentives and dealer prices brand new right now. You can get that bike for 2999 in Ohio right this minute. I just bought a 650NK for 3500. Fyi for people in the market lol

[@goktug123123]

they're pretty popular in my country as euro and japanese bikes are almost out of reach price and stock wise, so most people are buying 250NK's, 450SR's etc.

[@goktug123123]

also interestingly, shit like equivalents of that venom are actually sellable here in turkey because they become good options compared to bloated pricing of real bikes

[@dabears22]

this is a great and helpful series

[@Ninja-400-girl]

Venom x22 rider, Dont quit ...take some lessons!

[@synissilent9235]

Cars and Cameras reviewed some Venom cruisers and actually loved them after driving them through multiple states. It would be cool to see you test them out and see if you change your mind (but I doubt it) lol

[@racerXsocal]

I love my Chinese POS and I plan on never selling it. My kids will probably learn to ride on it. I paid $2000 for it new, they cost less but I got mine fully assembled by a shop and title paperwork done.

[@breadgarlichouse2265]

Chyyyyynnnnaaaahhhh

[@donbarcomb5913]

U could buy that venom brand new for that price! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@levishelley8018]

I bought a kpm lifan on amazon and yep now that I ride my mt07 I can't resell the Chinese one.

[@TheTruth175644]

I also have an MT-07. I feel SO lucky I sold the Lifan KPM200. I took care of it, but my god I never thought it would sell. I got $2K out it, and 6200 miles in the first year. Again, I feel so lucky it sold. I didn’t think it would. You sell yours yet?

[@orangelion03]

Regards the 999...the items you noted are well within the capabilities of most DIY motorbike owners. IIRC, the fuel pump assembly was used by several other companies making FI bikes at the time, and not expensive to source a new one. What would concern me, is that at 33K, it may be due for a valve check/adjust and belts. Depending on who you get to do the work, it's an easy $1000. I owned a 2007 S4R Monster and my mechanic (for the valve stuff) said he made his rent working on Ducatis people bought "cheap". Still, that 999 could be a fantastic track bike. Get the price down to $3K, budget $1500 for the rest, still a good deal (assuming there is noting else major wrong with it). Critical would be service records.

[@richardsewell8657]

Dude scared himself outta motorcycles with 8hp.

[@Kaarlo]

Yammie boi, you had 1098, so now get that 999. Fix it, review it, enjoy it and make us some videos about it.

[@ronnoc999]

These are some of my favourite videos, keep em coming YamBamThankYaMaam

[@Anti-Rizz585]

Oh shit, that's my city💀

[@johneverett3947]

In my opinion the reason you see so many bikes over priced is wife demands the bikes got to go. So hubby puts the bike on the street and advertises it way overpriced for a couple of months, then puts it back in the garage and says “ well I tried “. 😊

[@ramcharger154]

I had like 3 lowsides with my first bike, you get scared for some time but after a while you feel good riding again.

[@JessicaSimonson1976]

I low sided a Harley drift bike learning to drift twice when buried the pegs in pavement.....not scary at all.

[@diggy-d8w]

I'm LQQKin' at those scratches and they tell of more than a "Drop".... like WHooPs, he laid the bike down & surfed it down the street. Drops don't typically leave long gouges but then again after only 20 miles & almost the full tank of gas this boy was scared of "dropping" it again or as I suspect, Mom said sell it before you get killed? Wanna bet I'm right? peace

Yeah, I hate all those nicks and shit. I’m just gonna put a red wrap on my bike and then order a factory decal kit to stick on the wrap. I’m sick of looking at little red dots of pain all over the place not avoiding it unless you rap it or something, but I am rapid so that it looks factory still

Hi guys, here in france, you can have a yamaha xj 600 for less than 1k euros...i learn to drive on it 20 years ago and it was a decent and safe bike. All driving school had it in the past. Yammie, i would like to thank you for your work, you are not only entertaining us, you make beginer bikes attractive. By doing so, you are litteraly saving lives. I lost many friends when i was 20...these guys were like having the driving license on monday and drive an R1 on tuesday...and the biker story don't last long. You told in US bike drivers are old, here the start really young, as i did...young man testosterone is as much dangerous as alcool consumtion...continue you work. It's perfect...an old french squid😂😂😂

Ok funny enough I actually went and test rode that 2006 Kawasaki ex250. And instead I spent 1600$ on a 98 Suzuki bandit 600 from the same person. I’ve replaced the starter solenoid and starter and rebuilt the carbs. So for 1700$ I have a 600 that runs beautifully!!! ❤

Yeah, for real how many times do you drop your bicycle? You know I mean it’s on two wheels shit happens sometimes they fall over but yeah, like you’re saying he could spend a season on that and then turn it into a track bike and start working on his fundamentals and then move on from there.

It really annoys me when I see videos like this one, where bikes in USA/Europe costs less than 10k. A brand new Yamaha MT07 (FZ07) here in Brazil costs 50k. Fifty fucking K. Can you believe it?

[@nonyabusiness4151]

No, I can't, I know some people make like $2 p/day, and to import a motorcycle would cost them like $20,000. Countries need to manufacture their own.

[@6AlphaMikeCharlie9]

It's hilarious how people think a buyer should pay for the TLC the owner has put into it. I'm looking for a bike and what a lot of sellers have for Preis ideas is hilarious. Similar to the 5k bike in the video. I dove to look at a bike he'd sent me photos it's looked great and when I got there it was in pieces FFS 😂

What do you think about a heftier (5ft 9, 280lbs) rider first time bike as a rebel 1100 using the rain mode for reduced power? Or do I need to stick with a rebel 500 for now?

[@rustypotatos]

get the 500 at the beginning, the 1100 is 100 pounds heavier. Obviously the 1100 is two times as big but they probably drive the same speed. Always get the smaller one at the start so you are not stuck with it if you do not like it or if something happens to it you don’t really want it being heavier and more expensive. Rely on your skills rather then the bike having reduced power settings. Honestly you will not hit full power on the 500 for a while until you are realy comfy

[@ShxdowV2]

Really off topic for this video but does anybody have some recommendations for a beginner bike that’s a sports bike, can handle the highway, and would be able to handle another passenger with decent comfort? I’m also really looking for that sporty kind of look but I don’t know if that’s being a little bit picky. Any recommendations help.
