They can be light and torquey as hell with a high compression 2cyl or surprisingly high-reving, fast and flickable as a 4 or 3 cylinder. They can be made into off-road, street, naked, sport, or whatever. I love getting on my smaller bikes because they are just fun!

[@alexo9jm]

Just so people know if you want an RS660 but only have an A2 license they sell an A2 version with a 94HP engine rather than the 100HP engine. This way you can legally have it restricted. If you live in the UK / EU just ask your local Aprilia dealer and they will get one shipped out to you for no extra cost. It will be restricted already from the factory and with most other bikes you have to pay to have it restricted with a kit afterwards.

I started on an Cbr600rr last year. I put around 6,000 miles on it in one season & fell in love. I was able to get away with starting on a super sport bc I have self control & you are really only breaking the law if you are revving the hell out of the thing. I’m so glad I didn’t settle for a v twin or a Cbr 650r because the fully faired in-line 4 has been something I have always wanted. I personally wouldn’t say settle for something you don’t 100% want. I think as long as you have self control than you can easily get away with starting on a Cbr 600rr. I can’t say the same about the other 600cc class bikes though bc I haven’t ridden them. I hopped right on the Cbr for a test drive right out of the msf class & had no problems at all. I ride a 2008 Cbr 600rr btw.

The Cbr 650r is a great choice too man & I’m sure the riding position is better on it at least.

[@Beastius24]

For cruiser boys, I would recommend the Indian Scout 60. Awesome looks, easy to handle and instead of growing out, you can add a new exhaust system, air filter and dyno command that will bring the power up big time. It holds its value well too

[@MrBiggles53]

After riding a Honda moped for a couple years in southern Italy, I moved to Las Vegas (because even I thought a moped was unsafe in that town - dangerous drivers) and bought a used Honda CM-450. Saw its twin in a shop a couple years ago and wanted to walk over and pet it. 10,000 miles a year on that bike for 3 years, ranging from San Diego to Dixie National Forest in Utah, from Death Valley to North Pole AZ. Rode back up to the Nevada Sierras last September and it was more beautiful than I remembered. A bike is what you make of it. The only time it lacked power was when I turned a corner on I-15 diectly into a 70 MPH sand storm. Keep up the good work, Yammie!

[@shaharwaserman2513]

at 46 decided to buy a motorcycle, started with the Ninja650 , for starters I think it looks really great, better than the other presented bikes, cheaper than the CBR or the R7, still providing enough HP and torque to be fun and can get you to 200KMH without a problem (we are talking about bikes for new riders) , it is light enough to be easily maneuvered in tight traffic, easy and cheap to maintain. and even with the basic suspension it still provide a very good platform for beginners, at least it was like that for me

[@davidpeacock8603]

Well put

[@entitykeeper8869]

I have 2 sons, one that lacks finesse and I recommended an FZ07 for him. He's had it since launch and it's been perfect for him. My other son is lean and extremely agile, I found a broke FZ8 for him and it's going to be a track bike. Bikes should be suited to ones skill level. A twin cylinder 3/4 liter has a nice torque curve and is a bike that one doesn't immediately outgrow. A 3/4 liter 4 cylinder is a high revving monster and can't be compared to a twin. Choose a bike that suits your skill level and try to buy your first bike used.

[@Biggunz249]

As a owner of the older CBR650f the platform is good as a commuter and can be fun in the twisties if you don’t mind throwing around that pig, I’ve owned mine for 5 years and I’d keep it and get a second motorcycle for off road riding.

[@dr.rupture8467]

I think the Ninja 400 is probably the best on this list, simply because of its price and the reliability you get with Kawasaki. Yeah it’s not the fastest but you can abuse the hell out of it and it’ll keep going. You can wind it out pretty good and learn some techniques or take it to the track and push it to the limit. You can rip the fairings off if you want, through some 30/70 tires on it and see how you do off-road. It’s engine is a masochist for punishment and the bike just asks for more.

[@stefaandeswert377]

Though i believe you'd outgrow the ninja 400 too fast. It is actually pretty fun to ride. I've ridden an older model once and it was surprisingly fun. Weird clutch, kinda aggressive seated position (at least more that you'd imagine it to be), and not the best suspension but pretty fun though. It's a real weekend toy.

[@TheOnlyRaichuu]

I have the previous model, the Ninja 300. Still riding it even after about 45.000km and it's still going strong as day one, no issues every. Of course properly maintained. I'm getting a new RS660 currently as second bike but honestly, the Ninja 300 is so much fun, incredibly smooth and so sick with all the exhaust pops (Akrapovic slip on, no dB eater), I'll never sell the bike. I've test driven the Ninja 400 when it came out, too. It's just like the 300 with a bit more torque, I imagine it will last just as good if not even longer. If anyone thinks such a bike is quickly out of fun, they have never tried one of the little ones properly. I'm still quite away from truly pushing the bike to its real limits (not my personal limits)

If you pick the CBR650R like me, you must think of its weight~ 210kg, made it the most heaviest beginner bike. I bough mine in March this year, got my full license in 3 months from Learner. Dropped my bikes 5 times when turning right. Low speed turning on CBR650R is really not comfortable at all. A ninja 400 would be the most comfortable for beginners, but the bike gave me a Plastic feeling. I ordered it and I canceled it in 3 days, then changing my mind buying the CBR650R because of the Look. Look sick!

Of the bikes you listed, assuming we are talking only beginners for who more powerful bikes are appropriate, I would have to say the SV would make the most sense for most people to start on.

You don’t think it’s heavy on turns from the getgo or for a beginner that is still learning ?!?! I can’t decide between ninja 650 or cbr 650r, I love the 4 cylinder sound but not a fan of the 30lb more weight than the ninja

[@mattlopez7586]

@@embo_fk8396 I would say if you're going from a dirt bike to street bike, youll feel the difference, but it was not an issue for me. I never had issues with turns or anything like that. Sure I've dropped it a few times, but that was simply not knowing how to manuver a bike. I know how to now, and I would say the cbr650r is an absolute beauty, especially how nice it sounds with my motified pipe.

That mk2 mr2 at 4:18 is looking good!

[@pete6705]

I was lucky to have a family member with a Ninja 250 laying around that I could learn on. I would have a hard time recommending for someone to spend money on a beginner bike though. After about 1 month of riding and learning you are going to be totally done with a beginner bike and ready for the normal power bike

[@dhowting]

Seriously considering pulling the trigger on an RS660 so I can take a rider course and be ride ready when it gets delivered close to the beginning of spring......and leave all the nannies maxed out for a few months of course. I live in a quiet neighborhood (well until I put an Miiv exhaust on it 🤣🤣🤣) with a cul-de-sac so some slow speed practicing will be what I do for the first few days

[@petervautmans199]

agree on the inline four story, started in may 2020, now have 30 000 miles on it: the impeccable S1000XR

[@yonniboy1]

You're right about the Ninja 400 being a great little bike but that's relative as when compared to the thirty year old ZXR400L it's crap, the ZXR had a tested 62bhp at the rear wheel and ran the standing quarter in 12 seconds dead.

[@vonklizzykloudz1303]

bought a used CBR650F with less than 300 miles for my first bike. Absolute sweet bike and treats me good.

[@Dreddingbath]

Nice to see @motobob demonstrating his Street Twin here.

[@jimdog]

I've never heard of this channel and as a long time CBR500R rider (bought in 2013), I felt slapped in the face right off the bat. However, he's right. Love my 500 but had the Ninja 400 been available back in 2013 I would have gotten it instead. Meanwhile, I'm looking to upgrade and one of the bikes I'm considering is #1 on his list. So I feel redeemed. I think I might have to sub to this channel. Great video 👍

[@chrissmith7669]

Lol. I started on a M8 powered Softail. A bit heavy for a beginner according to the experts, unpowered can’t corner according to the sport bike crowd. I absolutely love it. If I found an envelope stuffed with small unmarked bills I’d upgrade to 145hp/145 ftlb or so and widen my grin.

[@themimsy]

I'm looking at the ninja 650 for my first bike. More affordable than an R7, good ergonomics for me, good speeds to learn at and grow with, etc.

[@treeguyable]

My beginner bike, was Rupp Sprint, mini bike, in 71. Start small, or not. It was all I could afford. Went to a superbike 2 yrs later.

[@joshgolby5593]

If you’re looking for a first bike and are looking at Mt07’s but are worried about suspension, don’t. I have one and it’s my first bike, and I think it’s fine. But I haven’t ridden anything else to compare it to. I can still keep up with dudes on 600 and 1000cc bikes around the twistys so I don’t see a problem.

[@RandySoWavvy]

I started on a ninja 650 extremely forgiving easy to ride and can grow into and tune once you master it

[@montagsmensch355]

My first bike was a Kawasaki ZX6R - 636, could not be happier with it. 110ish HP is plenty & if you respect it - you'll be fine. :D (Its a 636a, & in a few months it'll be 20 Years old, im not stupid enaugh to buy a brand new bike as a beginner. :b)

[@xinyuxue868]

Cbr650r actually makes 84hp at wheel. It's still a great bike I own!

[@sweetdrahthaar7951]

I find it odd how people want to classify certain motorcycles as beginner bikes. One of the funniest things I ever saw was when I went through the test to get a motorcycle designation on my drivers license in order to test ride some bikes. It was the basic ride around some cones type situation and guys were showing up on Harleys and big bore sport bikes that couldn’t make it through the course. They were falling all over the place. People were offering me 50 bucks to ride my step through Honda 90. I didn’t need the money and had irrigating to do so I left and let them flounder on bikes they couldn’t ride😂

[@musamusa2961]

"nothing like going a hundred percent, 100% of the time" -every 400 owner ever 😂 Jokes aside I still have quite a bit of fun on my 2020 z400 it's not blistering fast but it's still a fun bike to ride

[@belledejour2998]

Im learning on a 84 Honda VF1100S and just like the CBR 650R mine makes all the power in the uper rpm band and so i comfortably am learning the bike without killing myself and at 125hp&75ftlb no less.

[@iamzifoe826]

My first bike was a 2021 MT-07, about 2 months later, boom I'm hopping on a Hayabusa (no turbo). It's the ultimate beginner bike, you just have to watch the throttle, the weight, turn radius, insurance, and gas mileage. Also be prepared to spend a fortune on tires and tickets. But those aren't negatives, they're just spicy positives. The only bike that's better is a TW200!

[@GrimGamingTTV]

Why would you even stop for the police on a busa?

[@basmca1]

@@GrimGamingTTV Yea realize that in most countries you just get a ticket in the mail when they scan your plate? Also running from the police is how you die.

[@iamzifoe826]

@@GrimGamingTTV I have gotten a ticket in the mail before from running on the 07. Was doing wheelies then I ran, though I got away just to get a ticket a few days later in the mailbox, so much fun lol. Plus it's so much easier to get out of a ticket. Tell the officer to rev the bike, some don't want to but some do it for shits and giggles. Once they do it, tell them "see how easily it revs, this bike has alot of power, I wasn't trying to speed" (or something similar but make it sound genuine). You'll most likely get a verbal/written warning.

[@xinazhong7771]

Bought a 2022 ZX25R last month and I think it is a great starter bike for someone who loves tracks. 250cc but 4 cylinders so it ditches out more HP than the 400 and has a slightly higher max speed than the 400. Basically a 250cc version of the ZX10R

[@wendellnovais]

The ZX25R would definitely be my choice if it was sold where I live,it's by far the most fun little bike.

[@johnnyhun1]

thats only for the asian market, in the USA and Europe there is no such bike. Maybe the new ZX4RR is a good alternative

[@bhargavpratimsharma2024]

The definition of beginner motorcycle varies from country to country. Here in India beginner bike simply means 125cc, 150cc or 200cc. You have tons of good options from great brands like Indigenous brand such as Hero, TVS, Bajaj.. Japanese Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, Austrian KTM. And of course 600-800cc is not beginner level. That's mid range. If you really want to know your bike from every angle then start from a low cc and low bhp bike.

[@shivagoundan8886]

Fun fact - MV Agusta once made an entry level Brutale.. it had a 130 hp and 71 ftlb
