Seem'd to have made a small mistake. The R3 makes 42hp, not 30hp. Whoops.

You did awesome on this review video. Seemed to flow a lot better than the FZ/MT video. Keep up the good work.

Literally the video I was hoping you would make

Yeah well you can set an R3 on fire and make it rideable again....

I really love how stylish the 250/300s are

0:47 but you can't legally drink a can of beer

Even though I’ve been riding for almost 20 years I really enjoyed this video, good job Dan, keep up the good work

I love when u do these videos. Your actually really knowledgable when it comes to discussing bikes.

I’m passing up a cheap R3 that isn’t too well looked after and getting a nice CBR300R tomorrow. I feel a lot better about it after watching your video

This will help so many new bikers👍 Get the R3😎

Bought my first bike last year, FZ 07, couldn’t be happier so glad I went for the mid range instead of low for power.

Great video Dan. I like these higher production videos. Thanks for putting in the extra work.

Thanks for the video, I’m 14 and want to get my motorcycle license once I can. I really like the r3 but I’m probably going to get a used ninja 250 just because it’s so cheap, and it’s the tried and true beginner bike.

Next time people ask me what beginner bike I recommend I'll just point them to this video. I've ridden three of these bikes and I pretty much agree 1:1 with your conclusion. I will say though that I personally prefer the sound of the two-cylinder bikes over the boring one-cylinder Honda sound.

This was an excellent video to help me choose which bike to return to riding on. I have been riding bikes for over 15 years and have had more "advanced" bikes. Took a break for a while and kinda wanna slide back into things. This was unbiased and as informative as they come. Well done.

I can't wait to start riding, I'm looking for a bike at the moment. And this video helped with bike to look for to start on. Thanks for the informational video.

parallel and in-line are the same. the r3 does have 180 crankshaft or cross plane witch gives it a different firing order. it also gives it more torque.

DAN i think you forgot to add a link in the description lol. you ended the vid referring people to a link to another how to ride video but then never put the link in

Your comparison bikes are the best I've seen on youtube. Please keep making them.

This helps a lot, I am looking into getting a bike once I move down to Florida at the end of the month! Thanks for the video!

R3has 42hp not around 30 dan. Really like your videos Dan.

Out of the 4 bikes, I've ridden 2 and owned one and honestly any are good starters or commuter bikes. Personally, the R3 is my choice and babying it, i was getting 63-65 mpg's city/hwy and im 5'8" 150 lbs. All n all what's a good starter bike?? Its all up to you. It's preference and what's comfortable and practical and purpose is up to the rider. Peace everybody!! 👍😁❤🏍

Lol. “There’s no escaping the Honda.” I love it. Nice vid btw.

Bro I literally wrote a paragraph comment on yesterday's video asking what first bike I should get. Thanks Dan. BTW I used to watch your channel when you had about 9k subs, but glad to say I'm back :) ride safe.

In the Netherlands you need to start on a 125cc when you’re 18.... :(

I just bought a Cbr 600 for my first bike and honestly it’s perfect

Great video! Loved it! You being one of the few motovloggers that appreciates all types of bike should do a cruiser starter bike video.

One of the best bike comparisons ive seen for a while. I love chases cinematics but the moto vlog style isnt the best for this kind of thing. Great dan humour and infomation i can listen to without wind and road noise taking away from it. 👍🏻

Can you make a naked bike version for beginners

I started on a zx6r but damn are the 250s fun

haha! I was just here last week. Great shop with knowledgable staff. James is hilarious!!

Ims glad you chose the CBR to be the best. I'm going to be choosing my first bike later this year and was going back and forth between the CBR or the R3. The ONLY reason I'm even considering the R3 is because its blue instead of the red model my local Honda dealer has, but the Honda dealers have been very nice and helpful where as the Yamaha dealer wants me to ride the bikes they like (cruisers) instead of what I want

I’ve been watching your videos for a long time, but This bothered me a lot. Dan, please take a day to learn about the motorcycle engines! 1. A parallel twin is the same as an inline 2-cylinder engine. 2. A beginner sport(or otherwise) bike, by definition should NOT be razor sharp or ultra-responsive, be that in throttle, brakes, steering or otherwise. 3. Peak Horsepower and Peak Torque are not useful figures to really anyone, especially when it comes to relatively low power starter bikes. 4. Link dyno graphs and promote those if you’re going to talk about power figures, because those actually tell you how the bike delivers power. If you can’t find charts, describe the power delivery through the rev-range with detail. 5. Excellent recommendation on the ABS.

First bike was and is an 2017 Yamaha fz07

which one would you recommend? My husband is 6' 4" approx 220 pounds, and I am 5' 10" and approx 190/200 pounds. We are new riders so would appreciate your recommendation

I’m subbed since you had several thousands of subscribers. Now you’ve got over a million people. Keep growing, have a nice day! :)

in England we start on 50 cc and build our way up

Oh so the hyasung makes about -170 horsepower got it...lol

you're reviews are getting way better (and more mature wtf), keep it coming.

I’ve been waiting 2 years of watching you for this video. Ily 😂💕

My first bike was a 2017 r6. It has treated me well. I see the danger with starting on a 600 is when you get comfortable with the bike you start pushing your limits and can find yourself in situations that you may not be able to get out of. There are times where I wonder how I'm still alive. Aside from that 2017 r6 is a great starter bike with proper throttle control. (I still have the R6 by the way)

Responsible decisions? Hell nah BROTHER

Currently on a 1981 Suzuki GS450S for my first bike. Absolutely love it.

Fantastic video like always! You should do a video about shifting without the clutch and the pros and cons on it as well as if different makes and models are different

please do a review of the KTM 390 DUKE please please

In my opinion I wouldn't start on any of those. I would recommend a dual sport like yamahas wr250R or hondas crf250L. I think those would be funner bikes in the long run. Because 300 one would grow out of pretty fast or might get boring within months of riding while the dual sports can be blast to ride for years even. Now this just a opinion and I'm literally just some dickhead. Granted all the bike you mentioned are solid for beginners who know zip bout two wheels. Good line up doitwithManlet

Just bought my 2017 Hyosung GD250R today! Hyosung is a Korean company, yet their North American branch has been extremely easy to contact for assistance, parts, etc. It feels great to support one of the smaller name brands. It's completely different than what anyone else has. It looks freaking awesome too with the whole Daytona in front and Ducati thing going on in the back. The head lights make it look like an owl or some kind of predator ☉v☉ I'm gonna take as much time as I need to get really good at riding on this thing (my commute is 45 minutes each way through the twisties up here in the Cali foothills)!

That helped a lot! I am actually thinking of that Yamaha now! Once I get my liscense I’m gonna try to get my motorcycle permit 🙌🏼

meanwhile i am 16 and riding a 50 moped. im not even mad bcz when i get a bigger bike i will respect every bit of power it offers....to me even a 300 as a starter seems to much ... altho i would prefer to have myself a 125 as a starter. i dont even know how some people start on 1000's , then whats the point?

dan can you do naked/standard bike for beginners?

When the crf 450L comes out would you compare it to the wr450 and drz400?

My first bike (and only because I sold it before joining the Marines) was a F4i, I loved it. Not slow and still extremely forgiving. As you had one you can probably agree!

How about new Ninja 400 and KTM RC ??

I’ve been riding 250 and 450 dirt bikes since I was 14 so should I just start with a 600?

Dan DeMuro is my favorite KZfaqr.....(this video actually helped alot thanks alot danny boi)

Its like youve been doing this your whole youtube career. That was great. Another vid like this on 500 to 650 cc bikes would sweet

my first one is an electric Zero S :D love it !

eehhm the r3 and the ninja 300 doesnt produce around 30hp, the ninja 300 has 39hp, the r3 has 42hp. And the ninja is not the fastest one, the r3 is ;)

I got my cycle permit yesterday and this helped me a bunch

Ive been in love with cbrs since you got your 1k

Dan......an inline twin and a parallel twin are the same thing. Love the vid man

I love the cbr300r never selling it(:

Dan. Please make more of these videos. I love them.

Dan that was very professional like good job keep up your amazing work

My ninja 300 has done an indicated 123 mph with mods. I weigh about 170 with gear and backpack. 👍🏻

You can buy a 1,000hp car with almost no regulations so why should a fast bike be any different. As long as you know the risk/dangers of riding no different than a fast car

Great to see someone pushing away from the "You gotta start riding on a busa bro!".I Got a ninja 300 as my first bike. Put ~5000 miles on it so far and loved every minute of it.

Awesome video! My girly is looking to get a bike and she really likes the CBR so far. Totally showing her this!

The R3 is the sexiest here

Start on a used bike

great video Dan, very well done!

Nice review danno. Did it professionally and was awesome!🏍🏍🏍🏍🥇🇺🇸

At 18 you can ride your h2 and go buy an ak47, and be too young to have a drink, Murica

You could’ve just made a three second video saying “buy a Kawasaki Ninja 400” and saved everyone a bunch of time.

I'm getting a Yamaha 2017 r3 abs, I really fell in love with that bike and my I eyes set on it.

How do I get started out for learning to ride a bike? I'm 16 and getting a job soon and interested in getting a motorcycle. Am I suppose to attend Motorcycle school without owning a motorcycle and then after I get my endorsment buy a motorcycle?

no you can not buy an ak47 anywhere in the US wtf...

No RC390? Boooo

My first bike is a 2009 Suzuki S40 650cc. The thing is so damn light, modded, and moves like hell. It's a blast.

Great Video and thanks for the Tips. Look's like I will be going with the CBR 300 or Yamaha as my 1st choice. Thanks again.

Dude Ktm duke 390!!! Best starter bike ever

None just get a 600

This video is awesome you should do more of these

Just out of curiosity, how do you think a 6’2 person would fit on the gd250… I’m super ultra beginner and it looks like a good option for me.

ok question for you. I have my lic and and looking for a good starter bike but i am a bigger guy 300+ LBS will a 300 be the best for me??

You forgot to put the bold white text enhancements in the 'blackout' spots for the first 2/3 of the video. Granted, the 'blackout' helps emphasize the words of your narration, but I was sitting here thinking it would be so sick to have text matched up with your cadence .... then near the end it finally happened. Still a great video none-the-less!!! 🤟🖖🤘👍👊🤩

Good video i like these kinds bit do you know what i like even more cooking with dan videos.

I have no need for a beginner bike, but I watched the video anyway simply because I’ve enjoyed your execution of these types of videos so far.

Am saving for my first bike, The CBR300r. It's comfy it's perfect for what I need to do. and most of all. It's the cheapest at $4000 (AUD) I know this was made a year ago but thanks Dan. This helped me make my choice!

but what if i found a 2006 650cc that's cheaper then a 250 or 300. Do i buy it? yes it was dropped a few times.

Dan, you might have already discussed this but do you prefer the U.K regulation or do you prefer how open the states have it?

Would your DRZ be a good beginner bike? I would like a DS, that is why I am asking about your DRZ. If not can you make a video on beginner DS bike? Thanks

Awesome video Dan

what are your thoughts on starting on a restricted 600? people said I was irresponsible. but I did pretty well actually even though it was tricky at some points/

do a 400-500 i live around nothing but highways and having to be in the very last gear to keep up with traffic doesnt sound very fun

I'm like 5'3.. which bike is good for me to stand with both feet on the ground?

Fuckin love these videos man. Keep up the good work.

Im 17 and in 2 years im planing of getting my first bike...i know the bike that im planing to get is not on the list but still what do you think R6 600cc?

Need to do more of these types of videos. I’ve just picked up my A2 licence.... the UK is tricky with the licensing steps have a look!

Was just thinking where these bike review videos were at. Dad delivered 4!
