Really you’re not that wrong. If you can’t balance on a bike, you probably shouldn’t buy a motorcycle yet!

I cannot disagree. Aside from balancing, they will countersteer without ever realizing it unless somebody told them about countersteering.

That was my first bike also!! Picked it up for $1300. After tires and new chain/sprockets it was ready to ride. I did enjoy it while I had it. I taught my wife to ride on it also. As u said, not the top choice, but can be had for a good price. Sold it last year for 1700$.

Picked up a 2005 BMWF650GS with high mileage for $2500 in 2020. Awesome bike. The thumper engine is solid, and seat height was not an issue. I’m only 5’7” and flat foot it all day. Had to replace the fork seals, which was not too bad. And yes, I took it off road. Nothing too hard core, but I was impressed up until I bottomed the front end out on a pretty big ditch. Best news is I sold it for profit last month and put down a deposit on a new KLX so I can off road with my son.

[@debapriyo2727]

@yammie : I used to ride a friend's Yamaha FZ 16 during my college in 2012.. Loved it, modded it, crashed it, rebuilt it. Now, 9 years later the bug bit hard and I got myself a used 2015 Triumph Street Triple 675 with 22,000 kms on the clock for 4,50,000 INR (~6000 USD). The initial days were nervous, cautious, the bike needed work as it sat on the showroom floor for over a year. Changed oil, coolant, cleaned throttle body, changed front tyres as they were almost "V" shaped and handling was horrible, washed, clayed, detailed, . Previous owner had done some very useful and tasteful mods to it including sliders for fork, swingarm, chassis, cover for engine, gearbox, radiator, tail tidy, 1" bar risers, manual idle adjustment and an SC slip on. There is still more to do like brake fluid change and bleed, coolant flush, throttle calibration, factory Arrow remap, etc but it's been so satisfying to get out on 2 wheels again after so long. Thanks Yam for inspiring me and giving me confidence as a returning rider.

[@red_jeep4.0]

I grew up riding dirt bike and when I turned 16 my dad gave me his old (not really 2017)Honda Crf250 dual sport he never rode put some street tire and wheels on it and rode it everywhere I still have it and love riding it to work everyday

[@Cosmosnav]

My first (and at this point, only) bike was a (2004?) KTM LC4 640 Enduro. It was my Dad's bike but i'm a few inches taller at 6'4 so it became mine as soon as i hit 17. The thing is an absolute dream for farm county hick i truly am. Took the thing on camping trips, daily commutes, casual rides around the area and on a few trail i probably wasn't suppose to be riding on. I will say that i never feel like that bike could tip on me like the few others i've ridden. Seriously, duel sports are amazing beginner bikes if you have some access to land to get you over the fear of dumping it.

[@pleasediexo]

Great list, everything makes perfectly sense, no bullshitting at all. Although I usually come here for the memes haha. Only thing to note, maybe you could‘ve talked about the upright shaft in the Kawasaki W650/800, which makes this bike kinda special. And that it‘s been around before the Bonneville. Still great researching the used market only, this definitely can help a lot more people than a beginnerbike list with new bikes only, which noone in their early 20s can afford anyway.

[@MatadorCE]

My first bike was a Hawk GT. It was slow, the tank was small, the carbs were finicky but it very well balanced and good mannered for a beginner. Now would be the perfect time for Honda to bring back an up-to-date Hawk GT and the single sided swing arm is a must.

What’s the #1 best starter bike for a complete novice rider with these parameters: age 57; height 6’1”; weight 230 lbs.; to use for on road touring (& camping trips) with occasional dirt roads and suburban general fun riding; price not an issue; aesthetically flexible but love the Triumph Bonneville line and the adventure bikes like the BMW GS series; prefer upright seating position; safety and ease of use are paramount criteria.

My first bike was a Honda Hawk GT. They are an AWESOME first bike. So light and nimble. The nightmare is dealing with the carbs if they need to be rebuilt. Hordpower has the rebuild kits but yanking them out of the vee is a major PITA.

It has a 6 speed transmission, electronic fuel injection, slipper Clutch with dual disc brake, which is more than what I need to cruise on the streets of New Delhi. I love it!

[@T3CHNOskillz]

The Honda shadow phantom is a pretty great bike. And I would say it’s a great beginner bike but maybe a more advanced beginner? Only Becuase of the weight I’d say. It is a little heavy but not to bad. However there is very little aftermarket options for the shadow phantom. You’re stuck with maybe same pipes as everyone else and maybe some saddle bags if you’d like that. Headlight is terrible and the only option is aftermarket with a little fab work. I’ve been able to get mine to 96 mph so it’s got some power but I agree it’s not gonna dust that Harley when you see it. Now that the new rebel 1100 is out I think once the hype of a brand new bike is out it might replace the shadow for power and weight. Just not the big bulky cruiser look

I would love to hear your opinions on the Hyosung GTR, no matter if it is the 250cc or the 650cc. I bought a GTR 250 as my first bike and I love it. It would be nice to hear your thoughts on it, since you seem to despise the GSX 250 R... 😅

[@kev7355]

I started on a 2014 GT250R. That bike is seriously under-rated IMO. 250cc V-Twin air cooled fully faired bike. Don't get very many of those I'd imagine. The engine is very tractable at low RPMs and sounds amazing. It is quite common where I live, so getting parts is not a problem and there are enough folks around who know how to work on it. Being air cooled and fully faired, it gets pretty warm in traffic. Other than that, I'm quite happy with it. I still keep the Hyo in my garage.

Years ago I owned a Honda Hawk NT 650 GT. Loved that bike. It was the easiest bike I ever rode. It was very light, could lay it into a corner like no other and was a damn good looking bike. It topped out at 131 mph, without a jacket or helmet because they added wind resistance & slowed me down about 5 mph. I sold it after I bought my Vmax, and then I heard the lady who bought it from me dumped it and it got run over by a truck. RIP my beloved Hawk... you were a great bike!

I had a honda NTV650 it's the brother to the hawk... paid for it cheap but with it being so old I couldn't get parts for it

Good luck finding a van van lol, I had to settle for a tw.

I own a xt250 Yes it's slow, and wont teach you everything but shes super fun. Really lightweight in the dirt and other than highway speed she do just about anything. Something satisfying about dumping this bike picking it back up and she still ready to roll.
