Superbike of London so it is still SOL.

I have heard that the Kawasaki h2r is a good beginner bike!

You should do pov vlogs chasing supercars in london

What happened to you becoming drift king?

An automatic is like cheating on your gf with her enemy!!! 🏍🙅‍♀️

Please add subtitles when riding or step up the helmet mic quality pls

for your first bike you really need to stick to a geared bike just to build up your experience using gears

i would take Africa Twin no questions asked.

My first bike was a CBR 600 F good bike to start off with

Love that you are starting to make motorcycle content! Cant Wait for more

For a beginner perfect bike to start with and the colour is awesome next step in 12 months fireblade 👌🏼

It has to be a CB/R650R. Or if not CBR500R because of A2.

Just a thought - if you want to consider off-road riding, you need to understand that learning and gaining those specific skills/techniques is nearly as much of a task and as time consuming as just learning to ride on the road! BOTH require significant investment of time, effort and energy.

Hell yeah! Bike life!

The Africa twin is such a cool bike with a lot of history!

Maybe chat with snowcat for helmet mic advice :)

Welcome to the biker family Paul! Life on two wheels is the best life!

My first street bike was a Norton 850 bought in Md...had 4 eventually... but my first dirtbike was a honda sl70 !

Now I shall wait for the day when you buy a Ducati! 🤪

Awesome seeing some new and different stuff

Congratulations lad the CBR would be great. 💪💪💪💪💪💪. Just need better audio quality while riding. Satin black 650 looks 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Loving the transition to 2 wheelers

The fireblade is the only bike in there you should buy. It has power modes so you wont be killing yourself and you can grow into it. And when your feeling more comfortable you can simply change the power mode.

If you need a superbike reference - for future- fitting w/ your lambo era- go to MV Agusta F4 - it’s art 2012 a piece indeed

Great series man! Keep 'em coming

The constant fawning over the automatic gearbox makes me wonder why ride a motorcycle at all, if you just want it to slowly become a self-driving Tesla. Using the clutch and shifting gears is part of the experience, part of the endless curve of personal improvement as a rider, same as when driving a car with a manual. Choosing an automatic is like saying "i dont want to learn to feel the full experience of the machine, i want the half experience because its easier".

Congrats welcome to the motorcycle community 🏍

Do more motorbike videos I’m just starting lessons good watch cheers

Track day! Did full silverstone circuit yesterday, awesome experience!

Good choice ; ultimately the throttle is under your control A fireblade doesn't need dct or a quickshifter in the road 1st gear will do 80mph , 2nd 110mph & 3rd.....well you don't need to leave 2bd or 3rd on the fireblade people told me to get a 1 litre 1st , i got a 650 , 6 weeks in I got bored & fed up of shifting through gears, then got a 900 , same crap in 3 months I've now got a 1 litre & lost a bit of cash You'll get bored of the 650 even though it's a stellar machine

Maybe leave the Fireblade for the moment.... It won't be trifled with. The 650R is a great choice.

I've had my bike for just on 2 years now and I'm loving it. Looking forward to seeing your progress

650r looks is more agressive than the 1000 rr, to me. It looks more compact & solid

Would be cool to see you on the cbr 650r!

Glad you're enjoying riding. Good luck with the audio next time 😉

Well done, enjoy yourself, have fun and stay safe on the roads Paul.

The new Africa Twin and then go for tours. You'll love it!

Don’t bother w/ BMW- they have too many new bikes of all sizes and don’t admit to recalls- or faults- my exp. i have an 1150 GS-

Great new content lad. Been here since the R8 days

wear shorts and t shirts bro, its easier to manoeuvre

pro tip, hold your clutch with 2 fingers, because if you hold it with all your fingers you arent holding the stearing bar in case of an accident

I love your channel and I absolutely love how you use youtube and cars to make people's day

Would you ever consider bike meets ?!?!?!?🤔🔥💪

I had a CBR600FX which was the older gen bike of what you picked. I used to do clutch-less up-shifts without a problem for maximum acceleration. The handling was great and that made it safe to ride fast IMHO. Speed plenty fast enough, but had to get the revs up which could require a lot of down shifting for say overtaking. And this kind of bike makes you want to ride at high speed to get the thrills. The more upright bikes likely have more low down torque and wind pressure to give a good acceleration and sensation of speed at legal road speeds. My favourite bike out of the many that I owned.

Great to see content you passionate about Paul....looking forward to some cool adventures.

Awwwww!!!! You missed! The CB1000R was the sweet spot. Power you can grow into, sharp looks, great seating position, wide bars. Throw a fly screen on it and some bags and it’s a tourer! Change your mind! CHANGE YOUR MIND!!!!

Lovely looking bike 👌 you'll want the fireblade next year 👀

Slipper clutch... A great invention

YES!! PAUL ON TWO WHEELS! Welcome to the riding community Paul! I can’t wait to see your adventures and experiences with your bike!

"Choosing my first Honda Motorbike" - unfortunately this is just a Honda advert.

Welcome to the family, I’ll come out for a ride with you anytime.

Paul once you get some miles under your belt and move up to a true sportsbike then you will realise the true meaning of power to weight.

I won't lie that scooter looking bike looks way comfortable. Mounting and dismounting a loaded bike in full protective gear is kind of a bugger, that bike looks like an easier step through than mounting even the shortest cruisers. Also the dct is really nice, even off road. It takes some getting used to but it frees your mind and body from a lot of thoughts and motions that would otherwise distract you from the road. I would have taken the Africa Twin :)

That PR manager was hoping you weren't going to pick the 650r or the fireblade. One of the naked bikes would've been the best bet personally I'd have gone for the Africa twin. Best of luck with the new ride it does look stunning.

How is your drifting carreer going???

I love that you are getting in to motorcycles, I don’t know how many KZfaq CarsSpoters I have told to do Bikes, it’s Beautiful thing❤️ And I’m more for BMW ❤️

You can go straight from a 125 to a 500 after passing?

I heard that the suzuki hyabusa is good but you really need to add a turbo to grt the most out of it for your first bike

Dude, test your GoPro image guidance with your phone. That angle is just off!

Great choice and Ian from Honda PR a good sport assisting you to choose the best bike for now - enjoy :)

Loving the bike content Paul keep it up amazing

I've got a cb500x which i just took from the UK to Italy in June, amazing little first bike! You may want more power down the line tho, but it's a great starter.

At last welcome to the club 👍

Nice choice. I started out on a Honda VFR800 over 15 years ago and have never looked back since.

That should also be my first bike too. Can’t wait to get it.

I like the sales guy. He knows his products.

Always better to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. The Blade will rip your face off with your experience level. Stick with the faired 650 for the best of both worlds. Throw a few mods at it re suspension and job done.

'Why would I want to change gears manually all the time'? Ah, bless. Congrats all the same!

I can ride whatever bike I want 👊👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Good choice with the 650. It has more of an upright seating position compared to the supersports which in the beginning will be more controllable. As someone with over 40 years of motorcycle experience, the one suggestion I will give you is to never, never ever stay in someones blind spot.

Just learn how to clutchless shift.

Please move that gopro to the helmet chin part. Much better view from there. Now we can only see the road two meters in front of the bike

Really like this series as bikes are so cool, but most car fans don't really know much about them. Good to see someone literally from the start learn about them as we can all learn with you. However, if you are actually gonna get into bikes please step up the audio quality. It was all over the place. Sometimes low, sometimes real loud, sometimes muffled. It is hard to watch because of that.

Good bike selection. Suggestion now is to take a light dirt bike for a few months and develop reasonable bike skills: handling, sliding, riding over rocks, logs etc. Then go back to bigger bikes in a year with those necessary skills.

No body wants a twist and go superbike. The great thing about riding is being connected to the bike and changing gear is all about that.

Last week: I'm going to be a pro drifter! This week: Choosing my first motorbike. 🙄🙄

I went from a BMW g650 gs to Aprilia Tuono V4 1100. Its all in the wrist is to how fast you go. Also Most sports bikes come with Quickshifter and auto blipper so it negates the DCT gearbox.

Not true the BMW adventure also have semi automatic only need to up and down shift

Hey Paul, great choice of motorbike, that's the one I'd of chosen. I was just as excited watching you choose your bike as you were.

No rider wants any kind of automatic bike, so nice to see a car guy so far out of his comfort range...

Good choice Paul! I’d have gone for the Blade or Africa Twin, but I’ve been riding for 30 years. As a new rider the 650 is spot on. I’m still not sure about DCT on a bike though. My last two cars have been dual clutch and I love it, but I remain to be convinced of its value on a bike. I don’t use a bike to commute, just a weekend toy so perhaps it’s of less value to me.

Good choice. Look forward to seeing the future vids on it. What riding jeans and boots do you have?

DCT sounds like a great thing and if you were commuting it would be good but it takes out part of the major enjoyment of riding a motorcycle.

It looks really cool. Great choice

Definitely the right choice! I have a 2003 CBR 600 F and even after 4 years of riding motorbikes it's still really exciting and fun to ride. And it also offers everything: it's quite comfortable, sporty and super reliable all at the same time!

You can do clutchless up shifts easily on any bike, especially after you take off in first gear, you can go clutchless. You don't have to pull the clutch lever in every time, motorcycles have transmissions/gears that allow for this unlike cars with syncros.

I have no idea what I'm looking at, clueless 😂😂😂. Hopefully I'll learn a little

Noooo you should’ve gone for the CB1000R!

You ignored what was one of the easiest and fastest bikes to ride in the room, the CB1000R, faster to 80mph than the new Fireblade but super comfy and as easy to ride as a 125cc! Just because it’s a 1000cc doesn’t mean it’s not for beginners as you can start off in a lower power mode and go from there 👍

Amazing looking bike! Great super sports bike to start off the journey!

congrats !!!!!! will you shoot a video about your bike clothing, helmets and such?

I’m a car guy first but I love going out on a Saturday and just ride. Currently have a Triumph 675R.

I love your Alpinestar jacket. How much are they?

I was so fucking happy to see you made the right decision with the 650R you won't regret it.

My first bike and current bike is a 2009 CB1000R. Love it and it's still awesome!

Good choice on the cbr 650r. As a new rider the fire blade is too much. Get some miles under your belt.

Congratulations! The 650r has got to be the best choice for yourself there, nice and tame in the low rpms but exciting when you give it some! Looking forward to the vids after you really get to know bikes

Personally i'd go for an NC750X DCT. Perfect all rounder. Happy biking fella.

You made the right desition

So what exactly happened to your goal of becoming a drifter????🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️😅
