Sell the kid, buy a bike. Sell the wife, buy a second bike.

Being a broke ass teenage, i bought a used suzuki gs500, i love the bike, i didn't care that is has 13,000 miles on it, i love my bike, i like that the 500cc was big enough to carry me at all the necessary speeds and i still had a little extra power (i am kind of a big dude after all) and it was small enough its easy to control, i still haven't dropped it, so I'm happy as can be

Thanks for the info dad.

I thought he said, "wassup black kids" at the start😂

I cant figure out why you don't have more subscribers... Your videos are very helpful, you're very entertaining and very good at explaning things. Very much appreciated from a young, beginner rider like me.

Just finished the MSF course through the Harley dealership where I bought my iron. It consisted of, 3hrs of online training with testing, a 2 hr zoom call with several instructors and students, a 3 hr class at the dealership and 2 full days of in the saddle riding exercises and an evaluation. It cost $300, but if you pass you get to take your certificate to the DPS and forgo all testing for your motorcycle endorsement. Easier to just go test, but worth the learning. 9 students in my group and only one crashed, the most experienced rider in the class! The guy who rode his Harley bagger to class everyday. He had a low side on the peanut course. Bike went right out from under him. He’s fine, just hurt his pride. I almost did the same thing just getting too confident on those turns.

Just a young teen saving for a bike instead of a car for a first vehicle

I saw my first bike in the morning, bought it with cash at noon, got my permit that afternoon, then insurance and tags that evening. It was a Kawasaki Eliminator 125. I already had gear from riding a 49cc scooter.

Credit? No. Save up money and buy cash.

I'm buying my first bike next week I'm getting a 1985 Yamaha Virago 700cc for $300

i know this is an old video but i noticed you rode through john young, i live on oakridge. its kinda funny running into a Floridian on youtube

Anyone else admire that GTR??

if you have to take a loan to buy a 4-5 grand bike... you probably cannot afford it or have other more important expenses

Subscribed. Been on the fence to make my mind about buying a motorcycle. 🔥🙌🏻

Thank you I'm in Jacksonville Florida be safe during the storm

Great Advice,Thanks!

I'm practicing on my brothers old Kawasaki rowzer and this was my first day trying it after watching all ur tutorials. let's just say it's a very humbling experience to try and ride a bike for the first time

enjoyed the vid. thanks for all the info

I think the most important thing is renting a motorcycle for a day and learning how to ride those things. Also, I hope you talked about maintenance in one of your vids because that's also crucial.

I wanna say thank u for the tips I got my bike a sportster 2019 Harley and I love it all ur tips have been helping thank u for the content...

Good talk 👍🏽. Lot of Information and Piece of mind!

The quality of this video is by far the best I've ever seen on KZfaq.....or the internet for that matter. The bike sounds fucking awesome, perfect tone, perfect amount of loud not too quite or loud either. Good looking bike.

I'm buying a used bike on a loan because I need one asap to *get* a job. Honestly, I live in the middle of nowhere with no jobs around. I don't care if it's the shittest bike as long as it runs and gets me to work. Edit: Thanks for the video!

Just finished my msc today. Did very well. Was very amazed with my growth seeing that I've never ridden. It was great! He's right sign up!

Good video actually in a situation where this video helped me out. Thanks!

Great video. You pointed out all the important issues to consider.

I'm cool with used. I'm cool with old. I'm extremely interested in riding, but my first bike will be a beater. I expect to lay it down. I don't want that to hurt financially. After experience, even still I'm going for something nifty but not flashy. Seems excessive.

Thanks for great advice bro!!!

I spent over $500 on a Arai helmet and lots of expensive gear, they will save your sKin one day.

I liked the "2000 years later" segway

Enjoying your posts mate... big hello from the UK.

Ayy this man got a video for every question I'm asking myself that's kinda wild

Great vid brother. Thanks

I enjoy watching your videos all the time. keep it up, sir. :)

Interesting ... I will hold off on getting a bike. Great post, need to get other things sorted out first.

Thus is a great video! Thank you dude

I am planning to get my first Harley, and I was considering the finance first. I am glad that I am on the same page with you. I decided to get the motorcycle next year instead, so I can put more money on the down payment. Plus, during the year, I will get the gears first. Awesome video!

For some reason I always come back to this video when I've got the itch for a new bike

Great stuff, about how to position yourself behind a car when stopped, just in case you get rear-ended. Also, yes it is wise to buy a used bike because the only difference is the cost. It never made sense to me to buy the same year model car when I can buy that same car two/three years later and save several thousand dollars. Really enjoying your Channel.

New subscriber, I appreciate your videos. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the advice.

1st time I visit a channel, I was like 😯😮🤔 Nice Intro huh, this channel deserves more subs.!

Here's a tip on buying your first bike from a dealer. Get the tire road hazard warranty if they have one available. It shouldn't cost much at all. I only had less than 200 miles on my 2016 883 before I found a 4" deck screw lodged into the sidewall of the rear tire. No clue how it got there. Had to call the dealership and have them come pick it up and put a new tire on. $300 later...

Me discovering his channel for the first time *first five seconds of intro play* i already like this guy

Love your vids, I purchased a 48 and couldn’t agree more about the Bell Rogue, such a good looking helmet, fit not so much!!!

Helped alot. Thanks bro appreciate you

I love how he gets off topic for a bit and gets back on topic ( I’m also the same ) 😂🤣

Excellent video man!

Love the content. Keep it up *ps, i subbed*

you help a lot bro, thanks!

Same way I bought a manual car. Didn't know how to drive one... so I bought a manual C5 Corvette and forced myself to learn. Just buy one they are cheap.

Thanks for promoting the riders course Jss

5.01 the stealership. A good "lapsus calami". Great post bro

Hey man! Great video, would you mind (if you have them) posting the links for the gloves and two helmets you own?

Why not just be smart and split your paycheck up weekly 50$ emergency 50$ savings 160$ groceries 550$ bills Save up for long enough buy yourself a motorcycle with cash and you won’t have to get a loan or have to make payments on a motorcycle This is just a basic plan...

Definitely agree, beginners should start off with a used motorcycle.

Nice video, your information is extremely helpful 👍👍👍👍

You know how the tell you that kids are expensive and that you're not going to sleep? Yeah. It's worse than they tell you. I'm fucking serious.

Thinking of taking a loan for a KTM RC 200, I'm a college student that works part time earning minimum wage at a cafe and part time studying. In order for me to get to my college, I have to go through a series of public transportation that takes roughly 2 hours back and forth, so 4 hours in total. And taking more than one public transport everyday is not cheap, I can't afford to pay for the whole bike. Thoughts?

I’m getting an iron 883 for my first bike it was recommended by my friend, by the way I love your videos !!

To be honest with you the vedio is soooo useful it delivers so much amazing info from A to Z.. Bro, if the vedio have a thousand thumbs up I would press all of them, thanks a lot bro.

Was planning to right away earn go to motorcycle school....but, timing (start credit) thank you for clearing my stubborn fog of jumping to the decision. Looks cool, just need to be aware of all that comes with it.🦅🚃🛣🌟🥤🥘

lol nice, not sure if I'ma get a bike yet, but I'ma invest in the gear first. Great idea. Maybe starting off with the attire, then, gloves, boots, and lastly, helmet before, if, I get the motorcycle. Great video.

I don't live in the USA, everything you said about the finance did not apply to me. I just stayed because the sound of your bike is fucking amazing.

I've found that Harley Davidson has a great financing department. I was able to do a loan on my own without a cosigner and got my second Harley, a 2009 Heritage Softtail.

Hello. Great video..what are you using as a camera?

could u make a video about what permits and licenses you would need? training needing? California?

Great commentary on things riders need to concider. Few questions. 1. Ball park cost of insurance I know insurance companys look at your credit score and charge you acodanly. 2. Will taking a certified motorcycle safty course lower your insurance? Again thanks for this important vlog .

That intro was hilarious. "woosh woosh dink-click woosh bing VttttBRRRRNG!"

Wow!! I really learned a lot about....financing !!!

Good vid. Lots to consider. Evrytime i watch i kno exactly where he rides. Orlando bro! Lol

everytime i see your videos i want your bike even more 😍😂😂

Great video man! I’ve been learning everything to know about bikes and I have my permit test in a week. BUT I live in an area in NY that has shit roads and dumb drivers so I constantly hear all the backlash about getting a bike. That being said...Vulcan S 650 / Indian scout 60 / triumph bonnerville as a first bike ?

Im 16 and planning on getting a bike, but when you were talking about the sport ones, im 16 and have back problems already. So thanks for the tips😂🖖

missed a few pointers that many miss as well. 10 TIPS THAT I LEARNED IN JUST THE FIRST WEEK of being a motorcycle owner/shopper 1: take a friend that knows you and bikes, one that knows how to check for mechanical red flags preferably. have them test drive it, ride along if possible. 2: go to a dealership and throw your leg over as many bikes as possible (including a few in different styles) 3: if you are working within a budget (bad credit ain't always from current bills) try metrics as well, nothing wrong with a good used metric at 1/3 or less of the cost for a Harley (NOT BASHING HD THO! Id rather have one myself) 4: keep in mind the differences between new and used bikes is a matter of driving it off the lot 5: about half of the accidents are within the first 5-6 months of being a motorcycle operator (luckily half of all accidents are under 35mpg) the odds of a person new to bikes laying it down at any speed (even at 2mph practicing for your stopping test and hitting a small clump of grass) you can easily deduct thousands off that "new" bike. 6: insurance on a NEW bike will be much much higher and odds are you will have to have full coverage so even higher 7: Is buying partially on appearance look for older models, often there is little or no visual difference between years or often decades of models, even times lower miles than newer used models. In the case of Honda Magna 14 years does mean a lot, but not so much on a Yamaha Virago 750 even after 3-4 decades. the more you save the more accessories you can add :) 8: if there are small (aka cheap) modifications you don't like about a bike (specially a lower end bike) you can easily switch them out. ie. handle bars range from 35 bucks on sale for aluminum ones to 150 bucks for steel ones and soooo many styles to choose from! If going ape (pun intended) or you've evolved (dropping them) make sure you figure cost of cables if a large length difference. depending on make model and brand you can get some nice fairings/windshields from 68 and up up up. 9: full custom paint jobs most often (99%) DROP the value of the bike. Not everyone wants orange with green flames. dealers will give you LESS for your bike as a trade in if its not an original paint scheme/pattern. This includes decals added or removed. 10: check Kelly Blue Book and NADA values for a bike you are interested in before over paying. if you buy one outright have the option of trading it or selling it to try a different one with little or no loss of invested capitol to get one you find more you. and you will have gotten some experience along the way which will help you figure out what would be more you and your skill is quickly increased the first week or two as well. these are things I learned in the last week bought the bike for 1100 (talked them down from 1500 cause it had some flaws) spent 200 over the week I had it to smooth out its rough edges, trading it for one that needs minor wrench time (nephew is a mechanic which helped me and I am learning myself) and I got 400 with the deal so after battery and cleaning the fuel system from sitting this season I can get accessories for one that fits me much better. if going dealer route, ask them what they might have with some cosmetic issues that was a recent trade in. you could save hundreds or even thousands. nephew found a 200X (Im almost positive) dynaglide he is trying to get for 6500 cause of 9 or 10 small paint nicks (that almost couldn't be seen), if it were painted it'd be 9000. when a dealer gets them they do a lot of things to "refurbish" them and not all of it is necessary, if it don't look new its replaced at wholesale cost and bumped to retail price before it goes to the showroom. all in all you MUST be happy with the purchase, if you are riding with bugs in your teeth (happy biker) its money well spent, if you are feeling like you are just going from point A to point B and grumbling about it you might have the wrong bike.

As for jacket and boots, check local thrift and good wills. I got a full leather jacket new for 25 bucks when I was in cali.

Great video

The best intro

I love your iron 883 motorcycle man Gotta wait 6 years till i can get the lisence i need....

Picking up my first bike today a 2012 650 ninja it’s gonna be my daily driver

Yeah, kids DO cost a TON of money! But the intangible pay-off is well worth it.

2013 Honda Shadow phantom for 2k with 20k miles on it? Looking too buy my first bike

I’m endorsed but don’t have a bike and it’s heartbreaking

that intro though....awesome

You’d be surprised what people don’t hear, I was cruising down the road in my S10 and some woman decided to cut across two lanes and tried to come into my lane, mind you my truck isn’t exactly quiet. It is a four cylinder but it has a gutted cat and a forty series flowmaster with no pipes coming from the “muffler” and I was pulling in fourth gear rolling about 65ish, so my truck wasn’t exactly quiet during that whole interaction but thankfully she looked over and saw me when was over the line but she pulled it back into the middle lane

Your bike sounds great, what's your exhaust ?

I want to get a bike . but i have no credit built im going to be 20. Im going to get a used bike but im afraid they wont take me because i have no cred history

Sweet video.

I crashed one day in a bunch of expensive gear, nothing was wrong with me, helmet beat up a little and same for jacket. Cycle was torn all to hell but this guide is correct.

This is exactly what i needed to hear ! You nailed it !! I have a kid on the way and wanted to get a bike 😔

what if I can buy the bike in full?

Hey all I'm hoping to get into riding soon (I've been around bikes all my life, my dad used to ride all the time) and I rode my buddy's ninja the other day. I've done a lot of cycling (non motor) and I think that may be part of why the ninja felt so comfortable. But here's my question, do you think I will still be comfortable on a Harley? I know the best way is I need to go in and sit on them and just kind of see I guess. Primarily I'm worried having my feet sit a bit in front of me will feel uncomfortable or I won't be able to maneuver it as well. Thoughts and suggestions?

I am considering buying a cruiser, can you explain the pros and cons of mirrors below the handle bars? Sorry if it is a self explanatory question, just looking to gain as much knowledge as possible

I happy I found an Florida guy doing motovlog

I took my MSF at Scottsdale Harley !!! loved it !!! ended up with ZERO points haha only one in the class !! plus i had ZERO riding hours before that class. its worth the 150$

The main focus of this video is money and that was mainly what I was thinking about too when I decided to start looking at getting a motorcycle. Problem is that now my dad is telling me that now is not the right time and that I will either get crippled or die. I can understand why he's afraid of me getting hurt but I've been driving my cars for 2 years without an accident and I've avoided many that could have left me dead or crippled. Also, right now I am still living with my parents but I am studying while also working and hope to finish in 2 years. I plan on starting to go to a trade school so I'm not going to be getting stuck with huge loans. I am really young and don't have kids to worry about so I think now is a more preferable time for me start riding. My main reasons for wanting a motorcycle is that I enjoyed riding it during the MSF course, I want to save money (mostly on gas), and I want a hobby that I could do more frequently that also doesn't break the bank. I absolutely loved giving a bit more throttle during the MSF course and I really don't love putting in so much money at the pump despite my best efforts to drive efficiently. I already have the gear to protect myself so now my only expenses I have to worry about are the motorcycle and insurance. I'm looking at the Honda Rebel 300 or 500 with ABS. I really was afraid of buying a used bike because I've seen so many articles and videos saying that I might get a bike that's messed up. After this video, I might look at getting one with maybe a few hundred miles on it or less because dealer fees do raise the price up more than I feel comfortable with.

I’ve been wanting to learn how to ride a motorcycle for years now but I don’t even know how to ride a bicycle (ik sad) but I fell in love with the Harley iron 883 when I first saw it years ago and I’m set on getting that one

I really like the Harley but I have just been swooned by the triumph scrambler. it will be my first bike and I am having one hell of a time finding a decent used one in my area that isn't beat to hell or only a grand less than retail. I have had the bug to ride for years and am finally in a position financially where I can pull the trigger. I'm a big guy, 6'2 320 lbs. wondering if the 883 would be a better option for me. I love the way the triumph looks and feels and having the ability on going on some fire roads without bottoming out.

just subbed to your channel...quick question...is that the way the bike sounds stock or do you have some exhaust mods? thanks!
