FIRST MOTORCYCLE RIDE | POV | 2023 HONDA XR150L
Riding the Honda Xr150L to the beach for the first time. This is my first motorcycle purchase. I got my license two years ago and finally decided to pull the trigger on this baby
Enjoy! More vids to come

FIRST Month Review of the Honda XR150L: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g4SZy5Onm9OuocY.html
Honestly, the bike you're riding is just a street legal dirt bike. No fuel indicator and no gear indicator! Fun! No but in all seriousness, stay safe man.

thats all u need...
Keep sharing your experience. I'm new too. Watching you feel like I'm on the road. Please keep uploading video like this. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Your reasons for choosing this bike are great. The 300l isn’t too fast but the added power and seat height would definitely make it harder to learn on.
Some honest / good tips.. 1. When reaching for your brake/clutch the right way is to use all your fingers, not just two. 2. Learn + practice defensive lane positioning. If on the right lane, stay in the left tire track. Left lane, right tire track. 3. Similar to 2.. stay out of the middle of a lane. 4. When behind a car at a light, always angle the bike slightly as if youre going to go around the car. In case of a “situation” you want to make sure you can get out of the way of a car sandwich. 5 when turning right, theres no reason to get to the curb before the turn. Stay in the left side of the lane and turn from there..

you definitely should NOT put four finger either on your clutch or front brake. Two fingers gives more feel and is more pratical

You're doing great, dude! This was a fun watch. I hope you make more videos 💖✨
Love my xr150. It’s my second bike, had a Navi but this was quite the upgrade. I fill my fuel every 120 miles or before. Wish there were more small displacement fans in my area.

Excellent first bike and second bike to hop on a trail. Mine gets 105 mpg.
When I first started I always counted the gears as I shifted out loud. Helped me keep track of what gear I was in and helped me figure out when to up/down shift.

Lol im always counting aloud but then i get to caught up in riding and i forget 😭
Also, forgot to mention. If you're struggling to get up a hill, shift to a lower gear. Just like you do in a car. Ie. If you're struggling in third, shift to second. Or attempt to give it a bit more acceleration/gas/throttle.

Thanks dude! Very helpful!
In a bike like that the best method to know if you are in first gear is trying to down shift, if it goes down you weren't in first if it doesn't go down it means you are in first, at the end of the day the only gear you really need to know if you are in it or not is first, stay safe
I'm just starting to ride my motorcycle tio. Its so much fun. Stay aware and safe at all times :)

Also about to make the license and get a 125cc. The thoughts you speak out loud are exactly what I imagine my thoughs on the first few rides will be like :D Have fun and stay safe! I very much enjoyed watching

Thanks man! I am glad you enjoyed it! Good luck with your 125cc I am sure you wont regret it
You can give it a little more gas when warming it up. Make sure to shut off the choke before you take off and have fun. Congrats on the bike ! I think the best advice i can think of to give as a vet rider and ill bet the majority of riders will agree with me is watch for and be aware of morons that will take a left turn in front of you. If you ride like everyone on the road in a car is out to kill you , you will have a long healthy riding career. 😊
Nice bike, mate! You probably don't need the choke every time you start it, usually only when it's cold outside. Also don't worry about bigger bikes for now, here in Europe, everyone startes on a 125 at age 16, and the fun thing about these little bikes is they are easy to master, you quickly learn your bikes limits and how to hold it there, and many people say the time on their 125s was the best they ever had with motorcycles, so don't stress yourself, take it easy and master your bike before sizing up! Keep it up!
I start it and let it warm up for about 5 minutes prior to riding.
Thanks for sharing! I’m pretty new too and I still get nervous as well. I’m sure it will fade over time though.

Man what a fun bike to ride you be is indecisive and go down any and every little road you want to see if it runs into a dead end you just turn around 👍👍 I personally say the direction you want to go doesn't matter when you got your motorcycle helmet on it's just an obligation to explore😊 take a few dirt roads and a few Sandy trails because it is a blast❤🇨🇱
watching this series of you learning backwards 😆 but loving it so far to see people learning to ride in the city, compared to me who was lucky and learned in the county and small towns

@@tairamosmoto oo I believe that! Backroads and off roading can be a lot of fun!
There is a reserve of .9 gallons, so when your petcock is "on" and runs out you twist to reserve and have .9 gallons so dont worry about running out! As for the gear indicator it just takes a bit to hear the rpm and at certain speeds you'll know what gear your in. I repeat the # of gear im in in my head sometimes haha. I started with a grom in 2018 and added an xr150 last year and love it! Looking forward to future videos

Thanks dude! Haha yeah I know about the reserve i just never want to be caught on the road running out of gas because that would totally happen to me
Downshift when it bogs down, or to help up the hill.

Haha i am not far from your situation! I just got this bike and im already looking at more powerful bikes lol
I have 125 cc and did license on 700cc (mt-07)... honestly low speed manoeuvrers are much easier on 700cc because it holds constant speed on 1st gear, meanwhile on 125 you need to use throttle because it will slow down to almost stop
Hey mate! Great video. I'm a bit young, but I've got some experience in riding motorcross bikes and stuff. I recommend you maybe shift up a bit earlier, as it seems like you are revving it's engine just a bit too high. Just some feedback, but other than that, you're fine!
@tairamosmoto

Thanks for the tips dude! I appreciate it!
Never ever start any engine at open throttle. There is no lubrication at startup. Open throttle is the surest way to do permanent damage to bearings and rings.
I can hear the adrenaline running thru ya.
