What's the bike at 0:03

I’m 6’4” tall about 250 bodybuilder...I’m getting a scooter, dat mpg fam 🔥

I like how the video's very formal and polite, and then the guy on the motorcycle insists on saying "ass" every 30 seconds XD

Here is the time stamps for every bike type mentioned in the video 3:08 - Standard\Naked Bikes 4:21 - Sport Bikes 6:20 - Cruiser Bikes 9:00 - Scooters 11:57 - Touring Bikes 14:31 - Sport Touring Bikes 16:02 - Dirt Bikes 19:04 - Adventure Bikes 20:50 - Dual Sport Bikes

I’ve found that sometimes a very beginner being able to reach the ground very easy isn’t always a good thing. I’ve seen some buddy’s try to flinstone the bike to a stop at highway-speeds.

no one: that guy: my A S S

Why am I watching this without any driving license? lol

Im 15 and my dad came to my room one day and asked if i want to try and ride a motorcycle, 3 months later im about to get my permit and trying to find a new bike since the one i got now is an older model and kinda broken, my dad just wanted to see if i can get in a new hobby so he didn’t buy anything expensive

Time stamp 3:08 standard/naked bike 4:20 sport bike 6:18 cruiser bike 9:00 scooter 11:57 touring bike 14:31 sport touring bike 16:02 dirt bike 19:05 adv bike 20:50 dual sport

Q: How to choose a motorcycle? A: Depends on how much you make.

I recommend a stretched hayabusa as a first bike.

10:29 Notice that motorscooters are also automatic transmission(for what I know) and are VERY comfy and easy to drive. I have driven an N-max as a 15 year old and it was easy as hell. You basically only need to know what-what does.

The way i started was really great to me and I'd definitely recommend it. Bought an old 2stroke 150cc bike to get used to riding on the road. Then a year or 2 later moved to a 400. Then after almost 4 years, moved to a litre bike. I felt confident and proficient at every step, as well as financially didnt get a hit at all

I can't tell you how much I appreciate the lack of pretentiousness with which you approach this topic. A lot of us rookies don't know how to act, especially around our more experienced rider friends. For some of them, riding is a lifestyle, an extension of their childhood, sometimes almost a cult. The most intimidating hurdle to clear is feeling comfortable asking questions and just letting yourself be a noob. It's all about learning and growing. Well done. You guys rock!

when he was on the scooter, you could feel how hard he tried not to smile.

For newbies and returners, I really think a scooter is the way to get the feel of the road, especially if you are not doing to many miles at first. A year on something like a Honda PCX is a great way of getting your brain in shape for the road, plus it's practical too. In Europe the scooter is the default choice. Sure they are not as cool as a motorbike but: they are cheap to buy and run; simple to operate; nippy; practical; and fun. Oh yes and you can usually park them anywhere.

Really like those body position diagrams. I’m a complete four wheel petrolhead who is becoming majorly bike curious. I described the riding I want to do to an experienced friend who instantly said “SV650 is your first bike”. I’m starting to understand...

loving the rider position graphic! Production values!

So professional explaining but then when he says ASS🤣🤣🤣🤣 I laugh like a 5 year old. Great Video guys

My first bike at 19 was a ZX-6R. Full on forward leaning sports bike position. But... I was 19. I had the body and the fitness to handle it. Now I'm in my 30s, I like nice bolt upright comfy bikes. So I'm glad I got a sports bike while I could :)

"Spurge, you look like you're ready for a day shopping at the Italian market!" ahah I couldn't have said it better myself. I remember family vacations in Italy when I was about 10 and my gosh I have never seen more human beings riding scooters in any other country my whole life!

*didn't know volume was loud* "WE'RE GONNA SHOW YOU HOW TO CHOOSE A MOTORCYCLE" Parents: "...What are you watching???"

Love this video. Getting people into motorcycling is the hardest step.

Been riding 14 years, done some track days, still watching beginner videos. Always something worthwhile.

I am a firm supporter of the idea that new riders should buy something slow and under powered, ride it until they can ring every last ounce of performance out of it and THEN they are ready for a real bike.

As someone who is just starting their research to becoming a rider and a 5ft 5in women, I found this video to be SUPER helpful. Keep up the amazing work! You both have great presentation/presenter presence

"You don't want an adventure bike as your first bike." ".......mom, I want an adventure bike."

So happy to see scooters included in this list. Scooters need love too!

Awesome. This is one of the best 'For Beginner' videos I have ever seen. Either these guys are amazing speakers or they rehearsed like crazy. Really impressive.

Supermoto is a fun starter

The motion tracking is on point for the ergo graphics! Whoever’s doing that deserves an award! 🥇

I love the body position diagrams used in this vid- they do a fantastic job at visualizing the ergonomics of each job

This was actually extremely helpful, other videos are so technical and I know nothing about motorcycles so this was easy to understand, thank you for making this

I'll get uhh... one with a ... training wheels

dayumn.. what an extremely high quality video... impressed!

I started with a dirt bike, now I have a dual sport and then I'll graduate to a adventure bike, cruiser and then sport! That's my life plan!

This moment when i knew i always wanted the cruiser and clicked the video to find out its not only wicked bike but it is actually perfect for beginners..awesome 😁

They so positive about the 50cc scooter

Man, as a total noob, this video rocks. You guys are real pros. Liked and subbed

Me: Watched all the video and know scooter is right for me because i am short and have long trip to my work *"yup, I'm gonna get a sportbike"*

I cant believe these videos are free. Thanks for doing what you guys do!

Well this is a huge coincidence. I decided today I'm buying a motorcycle and this series is probably gonna help me a lot. Videos seem to have great production value and an amazing, informative script. Thanks a lot guys

That scooter would look damn good in my garage next to my Prius ! 🤔

5ft and 2in women over here... I was really scared that my only good option was a scooter but thanks to all this information I see it’s not! Keep it up with this good editing quality!

This was really helpful! Good work guys.

Thanks for doing this beginner series. I really appreciate it

Why have I watched this 5 times in the past 2 years, and I still don't have my license :(

Awesome video, exactly what I am looking for after 20yrs returning to motorcycles. You both are amazing, to the point and clearly explained things and choices out there. Appreciate your content👍👏

He says “ass” like it’s a medical term. It makes me uncomfortable.

How I chose my bike, > I have been wanting to get a bike for a while > Go into Motorcycle shop and look around > I go onto the stage (it was on old auction house) and look around > One 'cycle sticks out due to nonchalant colours and framework > Sit down on it > Find out it's an Indian, not bad, not bad > Knows how much power is in it that's probably not good for beginners > Continue to look around and sit on a few more bikes > All have an odd feeling so I go back to the Indian > Indian has a nice feeling > I buy it > It works perfectly for me, despite me being a beginner _ Then I watched this and found out that it's fine for beginners. Lol

dual sport is good for city riding as well!!! You sit tall so people can see you and you can see more around you. You can go over pot holes, bad roads and escape accidents like jumping the curb etc The height is intimating but if you ride proper then you will be fine! They usually come low CC engines with especially the modern ones but you get good gas mileage and longer service intervals. Dont even have to be afraid of dropping the bike(just upgrade handle bar or/AND put on hand guards) + a skid plate and a seat upgrade if you plan to ride 2 + hours in single ride

This is an excellent video explaining a hobby that has a good amount of complexity that you’ve made more straightforward. Though scripted, your delivery and back and forth is one of the best I’ve seen - in any industry. I’m not even in the market, but thoroughly enjoyed your efforts. Keep it up!

Y'all are so wholesome🤗thank you for the super content👌🏾

Dirt bikes have a special place in my heart. I have one and I love it

The car equivalent for these bikes: · Standard / Naked = the affordable sportscar · Sportbike = the not-affordable sportscar · Cruiser = the clumsy old-school muscle car · Scooter = the Smart · Maxiscooter = the econobox · Touring = the roadtrip machine · Dirtbike = the hardcore offroader · Adventure = some are body-on-chassis SUVs (mostly KTM & BMW), some are crossover SUVs (almost all the rest) · Dual-sport/Enduro = a civilized hardcore offroader or a radical body-on-chassis SUV EXTRA · Sports-tourer = the sports sedan · Scrambler = that one tuned muscle car that looks like it could offroad... kinda · Trials = the rock crawler For me, offroad bikes are the most interesting. Back in the 70s and 80s they had a 4-wheel equivalent, manufacturers actually produced cars that could battle against the offroad bikes on the wider gravel roads. Once the late 80s hit, most car manufacturers just quit while the bike guys never stopped going crazier. A current dirtbike is stupidly capable to the point you don't have low-quality options, all dirtbikes are insanely good. Just imagine a SUV only being sold with a V8, a reinforced lightweight chassis and a $10k suspension, it's insane... but people love that on a motorbike, they enjoy them, buy them and race them.

I'm just entering the world of motorcycles, thanks for the great introduction!

Amazing production quality, analysis, speaking tempo, and handing off to both guys. High level production channel!

I started out with a 150cc scooter. I was that brand new beginner. I gained confidence and moved up to a 250cc and now I have a Honda 700 and a Can-Am Spyder. I can relate to your video! I love motorcycling and now have years in and look forward to years more!

And here i am, cruising around with my 105cc honda i got for 600 bucks..

The writing and execution on this video are great, both in content and dialogue. Thanks for the tips!

Very informative, thanks for the work and video.

Wow! This is an excellent video! My biggest complaint with KZfaq in general is there are too many people who ramble and don't know how to make a point. The guys who made this video are pros and drive home their point with authority. Fast moving, informative, with excellent visuals. Great Video, guys!

I live in Japan and started on an old, beat-up 2-stroke 49cc scooter that I wasn't afraid to dump or crash. Light, great handling, zippy, cheap. Once I learned how other drivers treat scooters (legally limited to 30kph and people regularly pass going 60kph) and got comfortable, I bought an older dual-purpose, on/off-road 2-stroke bike with some cargo room, longer legs, and a manual gearshift. I love being able to stand up and see over traffic to avoid potential dangers, or to just take in the scenery. I feel like this progression was very logical.

I have an AKT TT 250 Dragon... I've bought it 4 months ago and it's a Beauty. I'm taking good care of it and trying to keep it for a long time. Thanks for the video and keep up with the good work

Great content. Thanks, guys.

It seems with every video the quality improves but you all have reached a new level of production with this series. Excellent work.

Honestly, I really like that white scooter.

This whole video is me… I’m a very new rider. Two months. This was extremely helpful thank you so much. How cool would it be to hang out with these guys for a day ride. Probably learn a ton.

One of the best videos have watched on bikes

I've been driving a scooter for about a year (Genuine Buddy 125). I love to see how people smile when they see me. It's adorable. I've been thinking about getting a "real motorcycle" for a couple months. I always knew my scooter would be a gateway drug, just like these guys said.

I spent an hour at the dealership debating between the Iron 883 and the Forty-Eight because I am fairly short. The sales person swapped out seats so i could feel what different options/heights felt like in addition to comparing mid and forward controls.

This was very helpful. Thanks.

This video is so well made. Perfectly concise and very informative at the same time. Kudos

You forgot to mention that most cruisers weigh like a billion tones

“more smiles per gallon”...🤪

Great vid. Amazing explanations

Very good and informative video. Thank you!

11:07 man you have to have that akrapovic exhaust on a vespa

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you for putting this together!

I had a 2012 Harley Davidson Sportster with a 1200cc Iron883 motor and I was in love with that bike. It was the right size for me and the right style. It was light enough for me to be able to pick up. But I had to return it shortly after getting it. I was never big on bigger bikes but I have thought about them from time to time. But I miss that Sportster.

Ninja H2 is good for Beginners

Thanks for including scooters, awesome video 👍

HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS WAS AMAZING!!!

This channel is awesome! The graphics added blows my mind. Wow guys

I'm going to put a +1 for dual sport and supermoto for a first bike. Because these are designed for off road use, more or less, they can handle anything a new rider would be scared of. Potholes, speedbumps, changes in height from DOT doing shoddy work, fallen branches you just can't go around, road kill, etc. Bikes like the XT250, CRF250L, or DRZ400SM both make great bikes that are hard to get bored of. I ride my 9whp (14bph reported) XT225 just as much as I ride my 120whp (120bph stock) Sabre V65. I recently got a DRZ400SM to compliment my not-yet-dualsport-converted DRZ400E, and all of these would leave you hard pressed to be unbalanced by obstacles, and dual sports handle inclement weather like a dream. My XT has been ridden through over 2ft deep flood waters, hundreds of miles of gravel roads, up and down flights of stairs (Don't tell campus security), you never have to slow down for speedbumps because fuck it, and I intentionally take it when it snows because it handles the snow a million times better than my BMW E28. And after all that, I still take the XT to hare scramble tracks and do trail riding (It's the same bike as the TTR225, which was a trail bike), and it does pretty well in flat track riding, though the relatively short suspension travel doesn't let it do motocross style jumps and whoops all that easily, though I have done it. If you want a bike that'll inspire confidence in any situation, a dual sport is definitely something to consider. Just keep in mind if you go with a 400 class dualsport, that's a mid-sized street bike but a big ass dirt bike, and you will find a hard time finding traction off road when you get on it.

Thank you guys!!! You guys helped me get a new bike 2 years after I first watched. Watched again and broke out of my shell and committed to a new biking style.

I'm a rider returning after nearly 17 years not owning bike. My first liter bike was a 2003 Hyubusa. My first cruiser was a 96 fatboy. Than you guys because all the various style bikes I see at dealerships muddled my decision process.

This video helped me more than any forums on the internet! Thank you RevZilla!

I decided!!! I am buying car.

dude I love that “ass” is a professional and technical term for this

Great delivery of information

This is one of the top videos that explain what the different types of motorcycles are. really informative.

I think a great beginner bike is the street legal dual sport KLX 250. Bought the KLX (camo version) for mainly off road desert and minor street work. Turns out this bike is surprisingly good for city streets and in town commuting. Good for lane splitting too. 6 speeds and you will be doing lots of shifting but it is very smooth and easy to do. Power is adequate. Top speed maybe 85 mph but really not designed for freeways. I'm getting close to 70 mpg so very economical. Fun little bike. Electric start. Fuel injected. Disc brakes on front and back. Negatives are it's rather tall, but it does come down to earth when you sit on it. Pretty good seat and comfort for being a dual sport. Maybe 5 foot 10 inch or taller for rider height.

Fantastic and a very comprehensive explanation, great video!

Great video, thank you!

You guys hands down have the best videos on youtube. High quality in-depth reviews and you guys offer so much help

Advice that was left out: Cruisers are still really heavy & not ideal (if you actually want to learn how to lean). Single cylinder engines will throw a rod, if pushed for long distances (even at speed limit). Also, you want a liquid-cooled motorcycle. A cooler engine is a healthier engine. 👌🏍💨✌️Ride safe everyone

Excellent information. Thanks

Looking to be getting into the biking community, and this seems like a great introduction. No bias, and what each bike is meant for. Good video!

I worked so hard for the past 30 yrs and looking to blow my money on different hobbies. MC is one of them
