You need to learn throttle control anyway you might as well learn on a real bike that you wont be replacing after a year of riding.

All bike are real if it involves paperwork and isn't imaginary. Had my bike for almost a year (2020 Ninja 400) and put 8k miles on it but haven't maximized it's potential on the track. Going straight is 1 thing. But taking corners is another.

If you do much riding up here you will also realize that 300-500cc 'beginner bikes' wont cut it at 11000ft. Not disparaging smaller bikes, just saying don't buy a bike with intentions of moving up later, just buy the bike you want and learn to control it. If the 400 is the bike you wanted because you want a light bike for the twisties, that's cool. I just bought a smaller bike (Zero Fxs) and I love it. Have fun and ride safe.

600 is all perspective from person to person on how it rides in the streets or low end, I'm enjoying both the low and high ends on my zx-6r sure it's annoying waiting for the red light to turn green to rip it, the heat baking up my crotch, and the seating position making me scoot right up the tank to be able to sit up but sure as hell keeps a grin on my face throughout the whole ride

[@kleinbottled79]

I agree about perspective on the powerband of a 600. I really enjoy the Jeckle and Hyde nature of those engines. Really easy to ride them smooth at lower RPM's and so fun to make them scream up top. It's kinda like having infinitely variable power modes depending on where in the rev range you choose to ride. 'Gutless under 10k' is as much a feature as a bug. If you want the guts, be in the right gear.

[@Stratocasterhead51]

@@kleinbottled79 Gutless below 10k is a blatant lie on the 636. Just for a laugh, compare the power dynos for a RS660 and a 636. They are near as makes no difference identical up to about 10k where the RS peaks. The 636 keeps on pulling till about 14k. 100% agree that having a bike with a "dual personality" is more of a perk than a drawback. So docile and easy at low revs. Sure a MT09 or KTM 890 will pop wheelies with a lot more ease but hey, 636 leaves them for dead in terms of sheer performance.

[@kleinbottled79]

@@Stratocasterhead51 Comparing dyno charts can be very telling. I've noticed that trend before. If a bike has a top end rush it makes the mid-range/low-end 'feel' weak in comparison.

I've been riding street bikes since 1976. The Yamaha RD400F is 2-stroke fun. Great at humiliating cars. Older bikes can be a lot of fun. But they weren't as good as my memories of them are. I loved my 1977 Triumph 750 Bonneville. After I got rid of of the Lucas electrics. They called Lucas the Prince of Darkness. It is a lot lighter and trimmer than the new Bonnies. Compared to today the Brakes aren't as powerful but at least the '77 disc brakes. I had a lot of fun. I had a 1993 Yamaha V-Max with the wonderful V-4 engine. Not good for going around corners fast. But with a little tuning it had tons of torque and 140 rear wheel HP. Street rear tires lasted 1,500. Called a Power Cruiser. Or a street legal dragster. Going to the track ment going to the Drag Strip for 1/4 mile. One on one competition. Acceleration is Great fun! So it turned out I needed 2 V-Maxs one for street, one tuned and set up for the strip. The Yamaha RZ350 liquid cooled 2 stroke twins are fantastic fun. But collectors keep the prices high. A good simple cool single cylinder bike is the Yamaha SR500. It was Yamaha's modern version of the BSA Gold Star. Unlike the beautiful Gold Star the Yamaha was reliable as a rock. You just had to learn the ritual of how to kick start a big single. Cheers

2nd bike can be a tricky choice. I had a Ninja 650. in terms of learning how to handle more power it was a natural progression from a Ninja 250, however, as fast as it felt at first, within a few months it felt blah. This isn't a problem if you have money to buy and sell bikes often, but if you're stuck financing it can feel depressing having a four year loan on something that gets boring after 6 months. but I know the ZX-6R would have been too big of a jump from a 250. If you're an aspiring squid, I would say start on something like the R7 or Ninja 650 as the FIRST bike (which I think could be a little daunting for a brand new rider, but doable) then get the 600 supersport as the second bike so you don't get stuck on a slow bike or get on a fast one too quickly. But knowing what I know now, if I had to hold onto my second bike for 3-4 years and was coming from a 250 or 400, I would say a Ducati Scrambler wouldn't be a bad second bike to get "stuck with". It's approachable power, easy to cruise on, but has enough get up and go to be exciting. Also the aesthetics and exhaust note give it more character than something like a Ninja 650 which feels like a sport touring dad bike trapped in a sportbike body after a while. Yeah, the 650 is not a bad looking bike and has reasonable power and handling, but there's something so generic and uninspiring about it too --the exhaust sounds like a blender. Thankfully my 650 was stolen and insurance paid off the loan :p

@@lethalvenomx1095 I'm not sure honestly, I learned so much on the 400, I suppose you could ride around in Low power mode vs Full power, its just a toggle switch. In low power still more than the 400, it brings the motor to like 70-80% max power. Big difference too is the ride stance, you're leaned over and tucked more. On the 400 was more comfortable and upright and nimble. I'd feel uneasy learning on a new $10k bike it wasn't too bad mentally learning on a $5k bike. I mean if and when it gets damaged.

My first bike was a DT lc 50cc with a polini kit at 14, 18 and I didn't care about bikes at 23 a friend was selling a gsxr 750 k7 I asked to take it for a spin before he sold it and then I ended up buying it...

I'm getting cbr650r as my first bike, it's comfy for city riding and even has a good passenger seat. Can do twisties and has enough power to keep you happy for a long time. Sure I don't have the experience but if you are responsible and don't go crazy you can learn on it.... or die trying.

Finally, after 1,5 year of preparation "on paper", around month ago, i've got myself KTM RC125 (license stuff). Its enough for the start. Then i want to go for R3 and then R7. More than enough for my needs. Thanks papa Yam for all the preparation vids ;)

[@musguelha14]

Go straight for the R7.

[@DarVienasAs]

@@musguelha14 I cant. 125 i can drive with my car license. And they are putting law that after 5 years on 125 i can go for R3 without any license. And for R7 i would need full license now and I really really dont want to go on full courses with all the exams again. Its Europe, its complicated... But yeah, in US i would go for R7 like today.

Having problems choosing between the Honda rebel 1100 and a xsr 700 for a second bike. Started on svartpilen 401 so the xsr feels natural but the cruise control and extra stability on the Honda seem really tempting for the highway. I don't really enjoyed riding a naked bike on the highway for more than a couple exits

[@Jagknorr]

Try the Honda out. Maybe it will put you down the cruiser path. Or maybe it wont! You wont know until you dip a toe in. I went from a cbr500r to a versys 650 LT outta nowhere and i couldn’t be happier. Going the ADV path now 100%. I never would have expected that 🤷‍♂️

[@SuperSpruce]

I have a Suzuki GZ250, and I found this beautiful example of a Suzuki Marauder 800 for not too much more. If the GZ250 was a first form pokemon, the Marauder 800 would be its evolution (and the Boulevard C90 would be the final form). It's so incredibly tempting but I don't have the money for it. I think my 2nd motorcycle will be a middleweight metric cruiser because of how cheap and plentiful they are in my area.

Bro! I started on a cbr 500 and I want a Daytona 675r SO bad! Please tell me what you thought of the bike!!

[@FdJ96]

First bike is a KTM Duke II 640. Love it to bits but it's a bit intense for the kind of riding I do. (usually 100+ miles at once, in a group where the pace is not too high.) Everyone's having a great time and I keep on changing gear to somewhat dampen the vibrations. It's a fantastic bike, but I didn't expect to go on trips this long when I started out. Did around 3500 km this season. Really trying to figure out what should be my next bike. I did try a Royal Enfield Interceptor, which would theoretically suit my driving style a lot better, but I found it a bit underwhelming. I do like retro looking bikes, I was thinking Triumph Street Triple but I think the bump in power is a bit too much. Would be fun to read some suggestions here!

You forgot the awesome Versys 650! Super comfy, reliable and reasonably priced.

[@kleinbottled79]

Pretty sure they would hate that bike. They seem to hate Kawi's 650 motor first off. Being reliable and a budget do-it-all bike won't cut much mustard with them either. When I rode one on a demo day it seemed 95% as good at being a tourer as my brothers older GS1100, while being much lighter. Not a lot of passion though, and that's a huge no-no for some.

[@SKIDOOSH]

@@kleinbottled79 I've ridden mine 1000's of miles thru the mountains in China, love it. One of the best bikes I ever owned. Never even had a hiccup. 250+ miles on a tank! ... ECU flash, aftermarket air filter and exhaust makes it quite peppy!

[@AnderzowskiOutdoors]

I really want to see a new video with opinions on the MT-10. I'm looking to upgrade my bike, I'm currently on a KTM 390 Adventure. At 6'3" and 230lbs I'm looking for a robust bike that will likely be my last upgrade. Currently I'm weighing between the MT-09, Z900, F900R, Duke 890, and the MT-10. The MT-10 being the outlier, but having all of the juicy options and enough power to grow into and keep me satisfied years down the line. With all of the electronics and rider modes, it seems like a doable bike despite being a liter bike.
