Ban thing? I thought we were living in America.

[@2WheelsGood.01]

Many things are banned and illegal in America.....

[@X-7-JAMES]

This argument is NOT far fetched. America has a history of banning vehicles that were found to be unsafe. If America has banned vehicles because of poor safety ratings and design flaws, why is it out of the question to ban a machine that has so much speed and power, and no protection? It’s a reasonable argument for certain high powered bikes for new riders. Cigarettes were banned because of their proven carcinogenic properties. If a cigarette can be found to be hazardous to one’s health, why can’t a motorcycle? I actually believe cars should be limited to certain power outputs, or power to weight ratios. Sometimes people need to be protected from themselves, but they don’t realize it until they or an innocent person is dead. Certain automobiles or specific features within automobiles have been banned or recalled in the U.S. due to safety hazards. Some examples include: 1. Ford Pinto (1970s) - The Ford Pinto became infamous for its fuel tank design, which was prone to exploding in rear-end collisions. While not officially banned, it faced numerous lawsuits, and Ford eventually recalled the vehicle after public outcry. 2. General Motors X-Cars (Chevrolet Citation, Pontiac Phoenix, etc.) - In the early 1980s, these cars were recalled due to problems with the rear brakes locking up, leading to potential accidents. 3. Suzuki Samurai (1980s-1990s) - This small SUV was not officially banned, but its reputation was damaged due to a Consumer Reports finding that it was highly prone to rollovers. Sales plummeted, and the model was eventually discontinued in the U.S. 4. Yugo GV (1980s) - Known for being one of the cheapest cars sold in America, the Yugo had numerous safety and reliability issues, including a tendency for its engine to fail and its poor crash safety rating. It was discontinued and became a symbol of poor car design.

[@DonJ.]

@CycleCruza This part I agree with, that's why some dealerships refused selling new riders high power bikes. They can't handle it. That's why there's so many fatalities and high insurance rates.

[@instant41]

I am from Europe, just recently finished my license and bought my first bike. Here is how it works: You get your scooter license up to 50cc with your car license automatically no need to even sit on the bike. A1 is the license for the bikes up to 125cc and you can do it from 16 y.o. but you have to go thru 8x 1.5hour rides with the instructor and do the theory and tests. A2 is up to 500cc (same cc is used at the driving school) and again tests and the last one is A which is unlimited, but the school rides have to be on 650cc minimum. There are some special rules: You can upgrade your license without doing theory and rides again when you have 2 years of experience with the "below tier". You can also do whichever "license tier" you want if you meet the age requirements i.e. if you have 18 you can do A2 without having A1 and if you are 24 you can do A without having A2. Since I am past 24 I went straight for A license. Started on MT07 and I don't regret it. I was really decided to go for Duke 390 but with the camshaft failures and hearing that it's pretty much shitty company I've decided for MT07. It's really fun bike and I am glad that i went for it. I can tell that I would be already bored on the 390. The bikes are just "tools" if you are dum dum and you buy yourself a S1kRR as your first bike well ... good luck.

[@CycleCruza]

Thank you for explaining the way the licensing tier system works in Europe. It is an effective system compared to how we do here in the US and as a result Europe has far fewer motorcycle related deaths. It is the young noobs you need to worry more about.

[@tomrodgers6629]

This is not socialist Europe and never will be. The exact opposite of what motorcycle culture stands for. We do not need to ask the states permission to ride what we want to ride. I grew up on all types of bikes. My first street bike was a Ninja !000 and I have rode ninjas from then on as a matter of fact my next bike ( As long as things go as planned.) will be a H2. I spent a number of Saturdays hanging out at the dealer drooling over that bike.

[@tutifrutinumber19]

Yes, cycle cruza has all the safety tips.

[@MrSilverfish12]

I think what Cruza is getting at is, there are too many crazy mofos newbies out there that WILL kill themselves if they get on these bikes. If people really enjoy riding bikes a 450 - 600 is plenty to have fun on. Also just because you survived on your 1000cc does not mean the majority of noobs can do it too. My only gripe against Cruza is an all out ban on superbikes, I disagree with that.

[@CycleCruza]

Now noobs see your comment and are saying Tom started on a superbike so can I. Then they get a superbike and die on it. 😔 I'm not for socialism but I am for helping riders to stay safer. And if it takes a licensing system to help save biker lives I'm all for it. I don't think you realize just how many riders are getting killed everyday. I just personally witnessed biker that got killed from excessive speeding on a superbike on the highway while in my car. It was horrific and motivated me to do this video.

It is all about the mentality and certain bikes bring out that mentality. Too many riders stop thinking when they twist the throttle.

This thing will hit 80+ on the highway, 80+ mpg, and go around corners so well, I just laugh in my helmet...😂 It really is a great bike on those 45 mph back roads.

In New Zealand and Australia it´s illegal to get a lightweight bike or a bike over 600cc with too much power to weight ratio on a learner licence. It´s so strictly enforced that bike companies have resorted to creating specific leaner approved models so they can keep sales up. I think it´s a good law that would save a lot of lives, a lot of kids out there really shouldn´t be buying or be sold a litre bike PERIOD.

[@komanguy]

The first motorbike I ever rode was a Yam Tracer 7. As a beginner, it sounds that it was too powerful for my skills, but it was perfect for my height and it felt very comfortable. I never crashed because I took the time to practice and I was very aware of the dangers of the road. I learned to roll the throttle gently, switch gears, brake, ‘counter steering’… Trust on my tyres came progressively. Later, I tried a bmw r1250gs and I was blown away by how it was easy to handle. Superbike are very nervous and I agree they aren’t for noobs. The riding position isn’t great too! But a newbie can learn with a big bike like an AT, depending on his height, maturity and self-control. The key is practice, practice and practice

In the UK we can do our full license at 24 years old. But you do your training and tests on a middle weight bike. Below 24 years old you have to do a series of tests to work your way up the cc's.

bought a monster 797 for my first bike. It's not boring and it's not super fast. Similar to the MT-07...torquey , quick and still good on the highway. I would have been mad if the government put me in the position to spend money on something I don't want. Middleweight naked or lower is the way to go for a starter bike. But with the middleweight I see more potential to hang onto the bike for longer.

I don't think we should have a ban, but we definitely need restrictions and mandatory courses or license to operate certain vehicles for new riders... Rule #1: Respect your bike. Rule #2: If you show off, you'll get tossed off. Rule # 3 Learn the basics to perfection. 💯

Started with a Ninja 250 10yrs ago and now I have a 23 Ducati Panigale V4S as a Street bike but need a track to stretch her legs. Love every minute of it. My Duke 390 is just collecting dust in the corner.

[@CycleCruza]

Hey at least you ride track tho. Do a 450 supermoto build and your Ducati will be sitting collecting dust in the garage too.

[@oo7Grexx]

​@@CycleCruzatried my friends Supermoto and not my cup of tea tbh.I rode dirt for a couple of years but sold my Yamaha YZ250FX. I could of converted to a Supermoto but didn't care for it.

[@ukaszKokoszkiewicz]

I started od 125cc as in EU we can ride 125ccs on car license, one year later I passed motorcycle license and jumped to Yamaha XSR 900. Glad that I had a change to get familiar with controls on low power machine.

[@kirk563]

Hey CC, this morning I had to make a run to my convenience store on my scoot and the temperature was 36 degrees. on my way to the store I didn't see any of those poser Macho Men anywhere to be found 😂

[@markettradinggenius]

Once again, as I said in the previous last comment on the previous video. My wife and I got rid of ALL our bikes to get the new 2025 Rocket 3R Storm. What bikes? Ducati V4R, 2022 MV Agusta Brutal Serie Oro, 2024 MV Agusta Brutale 1000RR & my wife's MV Agusta Brutale Assen Edition. We are buying the new 2025 Triumph Rocket 3R Storm. She wants the Blue and black and I want the all black. We'll wait until Brentune comes out with the 2025 Rocket 3R Storm ECU flash, while we'll be buying all the carbon pieces for the motorcycle. This is coming from someone who, in 32 years of riding have NEVER had an accident(but have seen well over 100 accidents happening in real time...including seeing one guy have his spinal cord literally ejected from his body by an 18 wheeler on the highway and it was totally his fault for not being aware of the 18 wheeler and his distance from the truck...). Our days of going 192 mph and 200 mph are done. Going up to 150 mph is pretty much the max we'll go and that is if NOBODY is around us for miles !!

[@pixel279]

I'm probably one of the few chill ZX-6R owners where I live. No tickets, never pull anything dangerous on the highways etc. 100% new riders should not have anything close to 100hp starting though. A CC system could possibly help with that. But a lot of people forget we have super cars, muscle cars and hyper cars out there on the streets too. You don't need any of those either. Who really needs more than a v6 engine? It's the same with bikes, do you really need something more than a ninja 250? I respect my ZX6R and Ninja 400 for what they are and enjoy both safely.

[@chris-b9k]

I agree, they don’t need to be that fast because idiots like me want to use all the speed and power that’s available. I love that even Motogp is reducing from 1000cc to 850cc for the 2027 season for it to be safer and more competitive. Can’t wait.

[@zebludlow9392]

Bane super bikes, that’s crazy 😂

[@CycleCruza]

Ban for noobs, not ban for everybody.

[@jermaineogarro2124]

My question Lamborghini or Ferrari should be ban bc they fast wat are u talking about

[@oldcars46]

In the '70s Washington State used to have a three-tier motorcycle license but they ended up getting rid of it. You do have to go through riding school to get your license but a lot of the guys still get too big of bikes for them and they're still and end up dead.

[@LouisianaNative13]

I kinda agree. I started on dirt so when I went street I got a 600 Ninja, It was a bit of a learning curb and I had a few close calls. But yes, you need skills to ride any bike, especially a superbike.

[@tutifrutinumber19]

Tracks man, yeah.

[@magicdragon3597]

I'm all in. Just make sure we get the 4 day work week and 4 weeks (plus) paid vacation first.

[@Rev251]

Foreign countries have this right with a system of acquiring tiered licenses through formal training and tests.

[@AlmightyRodga]

I couldn’t agree more with this, we need some kind of skill check for bikes. Especially if you’re only riding in the streets. We need to adopt that europe system ASAP

[@Luiz.Henrique.qp3nj]

7:24 You guys in US had the Fz8 which was a really cool bike in 2011 I guess (This is the year I started riding) Also the CB 1000R was really cool.

[@tutifrutinumber19]

No f'd up days every one and get your cycle cruza merch soon.

[@moifreestylelyfe]

Most riders are not ready for this conversation but you are actually correct. And every rider should take the Moto Safety course in general. Love your videos man and I am def going to check out those airbag jackets.

[@CycleCruza]

Thanks for viewing and your comment. Definitely get an airbag vest, it is worth its weight in gold. We need to care more about our bikers here in the U.S.

[@michaelsloane1034]

0:17 This is why America is a great country we have freedoms that no other country have you can't legislate behavior so what about cars now we gonna tell ppl you can only buy a car with 120hp a lot of ppl like myself grew up riding dirt bikes for yrs before I was licensed so my skill level was already way above the average rider also I lived in the country worked on a farm all the 12 yr Olds learned how to drive the big flatbed trucks that carried hey and drove that truck on public roads so my skill level of driving was above the average auto driver I drove pickups trucks and many others well before I was licensed it was a normal thi g back in those days but i get what you saying about skill level for new riders maybe having riding lessons before allowed to ride on the roads like with cars have courses that you have to take 10:31

[@monikapecek7317]

the longer i ride the more i am drawm to either go riding on a track or start riding enduro. i think BOTH is the right answer :) streets are getting boring always that i find a nice corner there is always someone getting in the way of my speeding :D hate that :D

[@Mike_Sherlock]

I guess they should ban the Corvette ZO6, Mustangs McLarens etc. for newbs if people are used driving a Prius. Gotta disagree: this is the USA and we need the government to stay the hell out of our business, except criminal activity of course. If someone wants to buy something, and it makes them happy, it’s their choice, their life to take risks and as long as others aren’t at risk. You be safe Cruza!

[@rennrodriguez8909]

My condolences to that Motorcyclist Families. That stretch of Freeway is a 6six Lane for miles on end. It can be very Highly congested most of the time In that area. At night 🌙 you shouldn't be riding at that speed, especially in that Area!

[@Chrisdacowboy]

I agree with you cruza, most people need to ease into the faster bikes in my opinion.

[@christopherpeter4578]

Yes ,you are right UK 🇬🇧 There is a process . You must prove yourself. Training up to a full licence, in stages .

[@Frank_Torre]

The way it's done in the UK is how it should be stateside. Were you can't start on anything more than a 125. Then you can progress to a bigger bike as you become a better rider. I just can't imagine riding on anything other than a supersport as no matter what bike I get, I always gravitate back to something like a R6. It'll be the same with the new R9 as I'm getting the 1st White and Red R9 that hits my dealership's showroom.

[@ilive4d80s6]

I wouldn't know how the Superbikes are since I can't afford it and I'm still leveling up more on the ranks of CCs like 150cc to 300cc and meow 500cc. My next bike will either be 900cc or 1000cc. What ever comes first fir me.

[@rogerthat1553]

What C Cruza, no 9 second quarter mile street bikes. I've been riding for 50 years and have owned 25 bikes, but nothing quicker that a 11 second bike{and I still alive and ride}. A friend's son had a nice older CBR600F4, he bought a wrecked 'Busa after fixing it up and getting it rode worthy he didn't make it a month and was killed on it at 30 years old.

[@cj548]

We already have the safety checks in place for this. We don't let kids buy prawn magazines either

Its no diffrent than having a sports car or muscle car some people like to cat around in corvette vs a prius 😂

[@jamesmegill]

Most people come back around to a middle weight bike.. The reality is that most people would be crashing every day if not for the electronics. The computer is keeping a lot of people out of trees. Smaller bikes are more engaging and fun. I do understand if you ride interstate, you will need a little more power. 70hp with good torque and no nannies is all ya need. But. IMHO. You guys do you.

What is this dude smoking and he is for real with the fake black accent?

[@MC-im6cl]

liter bikes are great on big city freeways. You need to be able to go faster than the cars, and now a days even a nissan maxima is faster than that MT-07 in MPH and just a 1.5 sec slower on the 1/4. when you get a crazy road raging charger scat pack chasing you, believe me you want the litter bike. S1k is prob the best, comfy, cruise control, heated grips, GPS, TPMS. can drive slow, or fast and it does what you want.

[@kedwin79]

If you ban a certain type of bike you open Pandora’s Box. That’s like saying ban exotic cars.

[@AdminAdam-d6q]

Tough call on the ban, you gotta understand no one wants to be limited on their options. Might be better to put a ban on stupid people having kids. That's where it's gotta start.

[@tutifrutinumber19]

Those are big motorcycle.

[@Bailey-k2j]

As a BMW S1K owner, I can state for a fact, and prove it, that I use 100% of my bike on the streets. It actually just feels meh now. I wish it was faster. You obviously have never lived near any mountain roads.

😂you ain't using 100%of an sk1000 in the twisties. 😂

[@Bailey-k2j]

@@2twolow LOL. Ok. Thanks for the complement, i guess.

[@Sasquatch10499]

You might use 100% of the motor but probably not the bike. That is a sick bike though, I want a superbike one day. Screw the haters

[@everss02]

street is ghey

[@CycleCruza]

First off, no hate to superbike owners out there. Great to see you riding. However, there is no way you can get everything out of a superbike on the streets. I can train a monkey to pin the throttle in a straight line, that gets lame after years but maybe it doesn't for some riders. I guarantee you that I can probably smoke you on your S1000rr with my YZ450FX supermoto on tight twisty mountain roads and be safer. Superbikes are even overkill for most recreational track riders, most non-professional racers don't have the skills to get everything out of a superbike at the track let alone the street.

[@SilverEagle1st]

I agree with you for the most..powerful superbikes (R1, Panigale V4, RSV4, BMW S1000, CBR1000 etc)are pointless for the streets, but it depends where do you live and what kind of streets you ride...if you live in a sad flat land area with just highways and boring straights and suburban american streets you are right...but if you live near mountain and hill pass roads the sport bike is better than any cruiser or naked bike for the ride feeling...and for that purpose bikes like the RS660, or the yamaha R7 or R9 have replaced the old school sport bikes(the low torque 4 cylinders 600cc and the powerful 1000cc)...not much power but with a driving position of a sport bike(it is less confortable, but in my opinion the feeling is better)...and more torque in the low rpm range...the mt07 you ride is more than enough for the streets, and for who wants to drive confortable, but the R7, with its riding position it is a good compromise and it is a bike capable of introducing you to the track...

[@rollthers3157]

Would a beginner license be easier to get since it's restricted to slower bikes?

[@RidinDirty86]

You definitely know how this KZbin game works. lol. I don’t believe in bans, but a graduated licensing system would be ok for sport bike only. A 650 cc dual sport ≠ a 650 sport bike. New dual sport riders need that torque.

[@stankycrusthunk]

Looking forward to that R9 review.

[@jaredreese8639]

Talks about "A hunched over race position" shows video of him sitting upright, one handed, holding a selfie stick for his videos he was just talking crap about. 😂

[@therealrealshocker]

@CycleCruza have you wheelied your MT-07?

[@peterncox1963]

You're right, ripping around a race track doing 150mph when everyone else is doing the same is spot on, doing 150mph coming round a corner on a street to find a stationary rubbish truck 10 yards in front of you is a different matter.

[@emadreviews]

I’d trade my r1 for CC 450 supermoto build right now straight up

[@LEL_GUN]

I wanted an R1 so bad growing up and almost bought one in 2020 for 5k (like a squid). Fortunately, never did it and bought a drz400 as my first bike. I realized very quickly when riding the DRZ that the R1 would've ate me alive. I have alot of fun with the drz at all speeds, just wish it had another gear lol

[@moifreestylelyfe]

People I know always get made at me when I tell them certain bikes are too fast for a entry level beginners bike. It's kind of sad that safety is looked as not cool or corny. I am looking for my first serious motorcycle to be either the 401 vit or the Ducati scrambler that's 600 if I'm not mistaken.

[@LEL_GUN]

@@moifreestylelyfe it really is, the older we get the more we realize that looking cool is a child’s game. We want to have fun and enjoy our lives- not risk death or bodily harm for the flex. I still would like to get a bigger bike some day, just not until I can master riding

[@moifreestylelyfe]

@@LEL_GUN bingo exactly!

[@CycleCruza]

You were wise to avoid a R1 as a first bike, possibly saved your life. A dualsport and supermoto are the best bikes to start on and really the most fun bikes. I only have 5 gears on my YZ450FX supermoto and it is awesome, more fun than my 690 SMC R that has 6 gears and a bigger engine.

[@MC-im6cl]

self control is the key to not killing yourself at any level. never ride above your skill level. dont chase the other guys, ride your own ride. In fact, stay away from large group rides for the most part, some dummy always going down, even on the slow bikes.

[@chrisoliver2]

Well I believe if a salesman sells brand new Rider who's never written before a 1,000 anything should be held liable if that person wrecks that bite no dealership should be selling anyone a bike like that if they want to be them then they need to buy it out right off marketplace I think all these badass bikes they make like the 1000 hours and the hayabusas you know if they made that exact same bike same everything but just put like a 500 in it I think it would sale because everybody loves that wide tire look

[@thewiredfox2691]

Thumbs down.

[@2WheelsGood.01]

I love these hot takes lol. Much more fun to ride a small bike fast anyways. Unless you're highway brained and only go in a straight line. Americans (not all, obviously) just have this insane insecurity complex and feel the need to compensate with BIGGER FASTER MORE. I think banning is extreme, but better licensing, yes.

[@realBkay]

God has a way of telling someone they should discontinue riding motorcycles. But, u have to have the courage to listen.
