So I agree with some of your points my first bike was actually an Enduro but only used it for about 4 months and didn't wride it that often but my V-Star 650 on the other hand I would consider a much better beginner ride and yes it's heavier but usually much lower to the ground than any of your other bikes so dropping it at slow speeds in my opinion is less than a taller bike especially for shorter people 😉

Yammie Noob is from the U.K. and I ride a 125 cruiser that’s efi it can keep up with a larger cc off the line with a max speed of 70 mph and is about the same weight as a Honda CBR 125

I’m a senior in high school, female, who weighs 90 pounds, and is 5’1, I happened to also ride motorcycles. It was incredibly hard to get where I’m at, everyone in my family said I couldn’t and even in the motorcycle class they recommended me a scooter. I love sport bikes, but because of my height and age I don’t have the money to adjust a sport bike to my height. I ended up buying a cruiser and I love her a lot. Every time I go out on a ride I can’t stop smiling, I have dropped her a few times however I was able to pick her up myself on an incline. Again no one believed in me, they still don’t. If your wondering what bike I got exactly she is a Honda Rebel 300.

Cruisers are hands down the best beginner bikes. Low center of gravity, way easier to control, far more forgiving on the clutch, you can put your feet flat on the ground, very comfortable riding position, more torque down low, louder (and with a throaty thump rather than a scream), easier to work on, and get a lot more respect than other bikes. Plus, you won't develop a rossi fetish. For cruisers, it's all about the journey. Not the destination.

@1SnarfyDude

Yeah I think it's clear he's never ridden a decent Cruiser. A lot of the sport bikes are very top-heavy which makes low-speed maneuvering harder to learn. If you want the absolute best bike to learn on it's probably the Honda ctx700. You've got super low-speed handling because of a very low center of gravity. It's got a very friendly clutch, or you can even go with the clutchless although I'm not sure why you'd want to. The stylings unique oh, okay maybe a little ugly. But you've got the reliability of that motor which was in several previous generation Hondas. And I've seen several of those close to 300,000 miles. Plus you can buy New Old Stock, for around $5,000 with a warranty.

3:17 I disagree. Best to buy your first motorbike 2nd hand from a dealer. - Where I live you still have the obligated warranty the dealer HAS to provide. - It’s a lot cheaper than a new one. - You’ll probably drop it anyway so at least you won’t be dropping a new bike. - It’s your first bike, you don’t know yet what suits you best. It’s financially easyer when you want to change motorcycles when the prices are lower. - When you find out the whole motorcycles wasn’t your thing, there’s less of a financial hangover when you sell a 2nd hand bike as opposed to a new one. - The market is flooded with 2nd hand motorcycles from people who bought a new bike as their first one and now want to get rid of it … don’t join the statistics 😉

Proud cruiser rider here but anything on 2 wheels is great!

as a new rider on a heavy vstar these are some good points. being in my late 30's i focused heavily on safety as i have a family and kids to support. Full gear (full face mask and padded jacket etc), and my rides are about 30-45 min each time, taking the same area just increasing it a bit more each time. I noticed a large difficulty in the turning slow. also very intimated by the crotch rocket style of bike i don't mind that my vstar weighs more than my car i find it super well balanced.

My very first bike was a V Star 1100. May be a little bigger than what is recommended but I love it.

My Vulcan S650 is doing me just fine as a new bike. I am a big guy, so the weight has not been an issue. Only downside to the Vulcan S650 for noobies is the snatchy throttle, it can be intimidating to new riders and frustrating (stalling out or applying to much power) and yup, it was to me at first, but that is what empty parking lots or very quiet side streets are made for. Practice! Practice! Practice! Read the MSF manual over and over and over, your owners manual the same and take a damn MSF course! Also watching good KZread videos teaching you tips and techniques helps too -- the MSF instructors are REALLY good at ironing out bad habits you've picked up!

Enjoyed your video -- all good points and info, important for new/beginning riders. Currently, I ride a cruiser, a Kawasaki Vulcan VN750. It's the 4th bike I've owned, over a period of about 13 years. I started with a standard bike in 2006, a Kawasaki KZ650, which I soon replaced with a naked bike, a Yamaha Radian 600. The naked bike, the YZ600, was the bike on which I did most of my learning, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. It afforded me all the advantages that you describe in this video, and I continue to recommend a bike of that style to any prospective new riders that I encounter. Following the Yamaha, I rode a Suzuki GS400 for a while, which was a fun little standard bike, and another that I'd heartily recommend to a new rider, for its nimble handling and upright riding posture, and its very manageable size & weight. The Vulcan that I currently ride is my first real "cruiser" bike, and I'm really enjoying the feel of this style of bike. As I've grown a little older, my personal priorities have shifted more toward comfort than sporty handling and fast corners, and I find that my enjoyment of motorcycling has evolved into getting a different type of kick out of it than I did in my early- to mid-20s. At this stage in my riding life, I think I might again enjoy another standard bike, but I have little desire to veer back toward the sportbike riding style, and so a cruiser is what I've "grown into," you could say. Thanks for making this video, and for making your knowledge and experience available to those who are thinking of starting out on their own two-wheeled adventure.

I also recommend new or near new bikes for your first one. I owned an older Kawasaki, the only reason I knew anything was wrong with it was from riding my much newer Honda and realized motorcycles aren’t supposed to feel like that (which my Honda was a sportbike and my Kawasaki was a cruiser). Turns out the tires were so old, they had hardened and the previous owner left it on the kickstand so long the bike kept trying to lean over towards that side (even on the highway when the rubber warmed up). Later, the carbs needed love. Knowing how it was supposed to respond meant I realized it needed to be rebalanced as the carbs were out of sync. Not something I would have ever realized day one. Anyway, my two cents.

Great video and from my experience of starting on cruisers, I would totally agree with all your points.

I just bought a Honda shadow 750 😀 did I make a good choice

IMHO I would say yes. Hondas are highly reliable, have a comfortable ride and are fairly quick. Do you feel comfortable on the bike, can you reach everything without any problems? If yes great. Take the MSF course and then another in about 6 months. Be sure to check the age of the tires - they might need to be changed along with the coolant and oil - just to be safe. I started a little larger with the 2010 Sabre against all advice but have had no problems. The only mod I have done was to have the front suspension (springs) changed out and that made a huge difference in ridability. Ride safe - ATTGATT.

True. They get more respect on the road too...for example how many crotch rocket accident occur yearly vs cruisers. People see a cruiser and give them space and consideration whereas sport bikes are too busy weaving through traffic to allow for it.

I love the boulevard S40 mention with the photo of the M109

1st bike was the rebel 1100. Some part due to your vids. Have rode some 20 years ago. Bike just goes soo good!

Yam, by the beginning of this week the last factory new 0 kilometer Busa in Brazil was sold. Right in my town.

Cruisers often have feet forward footpegs, making it more difficult to move your feet from the pavement to the pegs, or pegs to pavement, especially for a beginner. The low seat helps with shorter riders putting their feet down at a stop. They vary a lot for weight, power and price.

Really enjoy the content will be getting my first bike soon

Good info for beginners.

Hey Yam, got my Shadow in may and I love it because although it is big, it has a really low cg and is surprisingly flickable, especially for a cruiser.

Yammie sounds like you’ve never ridden a cruiser or something

I was going to get a modular last fall but got a rocking deal on a full face... I already had a 3/4 with drop down sunvisor... Hit a deer doing almost 60 mph a couple months ago in my full face... Only mark on the helmet was a small scratch on the visor where it hooks into the helmet at my right ear... You couldn't tell it was hit, but my boots, jacket, gloves and jeans sure tell the tale...

Agreed,I ride with a flip up helmet,and it's really the best of both worlds.It's easier to put on and take off than a full face helmet (I don't know why,but I'd always twist my ears trying to put on a full face),and it offers more protection than an open face helmet or a half helmet.

Your videos are great

Got my first bike this year. Yamaha Vstar 1100. Sadly dropped once (forgot the kickstand). Just under 700lbs it was heavy to get up by myself but i did it. Coming from dirt bikes it’s definitely a different ball game. Love your videos papa yam

650 vstar doesn't do too bad on the highway

Great vid. I had a GXR1000, but my knees and back just could not deal with it. I am buying a Suzuki Intruder 1500 next week and look forward to no back pain.

... went from a 2014 bolt R-Spec to a 2006 R1, love the higher maneuverability of sport bikes, especially swerving/ emergency braking due to other people in traffic

Got my first bike at 15 years old. 2000 Honda Shadow Aero. Love her and she’s perfect for me. Real heavy and 1100cc but somehow it was right for me and worked great.

Very good points

I started out with an 800cc cruiser. It was a great bike. The Suzuki C50T is a great buy for new riders.

Loving my Vstar 650. My first bike love it. Great comfort.

I just started riding like a couple days ago i bought and rode my 1100 honda shadow just recently and just love it to death never rode bikes before this except a small dirt bike when i was younger! I love riding my honda tho its great!

I ride them. Have two, 2015 HD Vrod Muscle and 2007 Suzuki m109r. Love both. Yes heavy bikes but so much fun to ride them.

I bought a brand new Shadow Phantom as my first bike few months ago and I love it! But I do wear full gear!

I started on a cruiser, Yamaha XVS650 Classic. It was ok at the time, but definitely not what I wanted. The owner of it was the only one that got ahold of me that actually had an assembled and working bike. I decided to take it and learn on that for the next few years. At the end, I found that it was rather maneuverable for what it was, but I also learned that I am too tall for it to comfortably use it safely. I sold it in favor of a Triumph Speed Triple and I am in love. My triple is in a Street Fighter configuration and it's basically what I have wanted this whole time.

Started on my pops vtx 1300(710lbs.). I love that thing! I've ridden over 2,000 miles in the last couple months.

A bike for every season. My first bike was a 500 Interceptor, but every bike since has been a cruiser and they have gotten progressively larger until I landed on the 1600 Nomad I ride now. I learned to ride on that Interceptor, did my safety course on it, passed my license test on it, and ultimately ended up commuting on it through all kinds of weather. I am glad I started on that platform because I think the higher center of gravity and nimble handling was important for learning, but now as a middle-aged man with no desire to get deep into any twisty roads, I am happy to be on my big fat two-wheeled recliner and just feel the wind on the highway. I wouldn't trade that sport bike experience from my 20's, but now in my 40's I wouldn't go back either.

My first bike was a 2000 Vulcan 1500 Classic... Was never into the street bike life... Just enjoy cruising... I still own that one and just picked up a 2003 Mean Streak 1600...

I’m a short skinny 15 almost 16 year old and I like the Honda rebel because it fits me really well. My tip is to get one that fits you the best sport or cruiser. Who else agrees? God bless.

"Have you switched to Sprint yet?" Coffee came out of my nose. Damn you Yammie!!! 🤣

Have been watching you for 3 moths now Today I got my big cube licence 🤤🏍😌 #France

Been a subscriber for a while but I’ve just started riding over the last couple of weeks, and I’m 100% a cruiser man, nothing against sport bikes, cruisers are just more my style, I’m just shy of 6’5 tall and weigh around 135-140kgs (297-308LBS) and I love my cruiser. I’m early 30’s and my only regret is not getting a bike earlier in life. I’ve got a vstar 650, or as a guy at work calls it, a Yamaharley, as I live in Australia and for the first few years when you get your bike license you’re restricted to a maximum of 650cc, and I rock the full face helmet. ‘Dress for the side, not the ride’

I got my bike license when I was 53 years old. The first bike I rode after I passed my test was a 1999 Suzuki Intruder VL1500 and I never looked back since. I now have a 2007 Suzuki Boulevard 1500.

I started out on Suzuki s40 great bike very nimble and forgiving. Cheap to service reliable and go forever just about.
