Beginner's Guide to Motorcycle Types
www.revzilla.com/common-tread...
For beginners, finding the right motorcycle to fit their needs can be a daunting task. The selection is vast, and the expense is not insignificant. Various types of motorcycles have equally varied strengths. They also have their own set of weaknesses. Just as you wouldn’t use a sledgehammer to polish your best dress shoes, you wouldn’t want to choose a track bike if the type of riding you wanted to do was all off-road. Regardless of if you are looking for a beginner motorcycle, or are merely seeking to take a dip into another riding style that you might not be as experienced in, this video is all about providing some insight into the types of motorcycles available, and how they can improve your desired riding experience.

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!

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.

No I’m afraid not. I’m in the UK and 2 years ago, as covid raged, the best I could do was get a CBT (compulsory basic training) certificate, allowing me to ride 125cc/15hp motorcycles on “L” (for learner) plates. Although I’m plenty old enough, getting a licence was utterly impossible. Test centres focussed on the backlog of car drivers and bike tests were almost impossible to get. So I bought a CBR125R, and although I loved it, I quickly got interested in off-road, to which it clearly wasn’t suited. A year after, a white van did a janky u-turn from the wrong side of the road. I went over his bonnet and the bike stayed where it was, totalled. So was the van. But I got away with soft tissue injuries, and as I picked myself up off the tarmac, ready to lay into the chump in the van, I heard myself telling no one in particular, “on the plus side, I can get a dual sport now”. I still have that bike, a WR125R, and it does an admirable job on dirt. Less wonderful on tarmac. But having finally got my full licence, and agonised endlessly over whether to get a 200kg dirt friendly adv bike or a bigger dual sport. Then someone showed my the specs of a Kove 450 Rally, and on faith and hope alone, I ordered one. In June, I will hopefully be among the first dozen owners in England. A huge risk, buying something sight unseen, but it’s not my first time doing this. I reckon if you do enough research and follow your intuition, do and don’t look back, you rarely regret it.

Don’t get caught up in that and ignore when they try and tell you that you need at least a 1000cc bike with 150 or more horsepower... for someone your size, a 300 to 500cc bike is good for highway riding.... if you don’t ever plan on staying on a highway more than 5 miles at a time, than a 250 (or even a 125cc Grom or Z125) might work for you... and don’t worry about getting a “motorcycle for life” most people’s first motorcycles get sold or traded within eighteen months as they learn their likes and dislikes... that said, if you get something like a Grom, 250 dual sport, or even a Himalayan; then adding a second bike and not trading in for one might be more fitting later on.... you’ll know why.....

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.

Well, even if you're just gonna be a regular rider with no interests of really getting into bikes, you'd still hafta fork quite a decent amount of $$ getting both the license & a decent bike after all. & i'm speaking as a guy who'd been interested in bikes for over 10 years, & still don't have a bike license & not getting one any time soon.

Is the Indian 2 or 4 stroke and how many cc is it?
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.
I cant believe these videos are free. Thanks for doing what you guys do!
Dirt bikes have a special place in my heart. I have one and I love it

My first bike was a 110cc 83 honda trike, I used to spend all weekend on it.
This video is so well made. Perfectly concise and very informative at the same time. Kudos
Thanks you guys! You guys are awesome thank you as well to Steve for helping me choose a pair of lights 🤙
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.
This video helped me more than any forums on the internet! Thank you RevZilla!
Thank you for this video, u got me to subscribe. I like that you go into detail and dont ramble. Great info
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you for putting this together!
Impressive and helpful video. I really appreciate how politely you are trying to give advice and yet not force any choices for the motorcyclist. These approach trully shows how good-hearted people you are. Bravo!
It seems with every video the quality improves but you all have reached a new level of production with this series. Excellent work.
Y'all are so wholesome🤗thank you for the super content👌🏾
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!
This is one of the top videos that explain what the different types of motorcycles are. really informative.
Great detailed explanation on the sitting postures and comfort on variety of bikes. Kudos to the professional review! 👍🏼
Great content guys, just getting into biking and this vid really helped me form general knowledge and understanding of bikes. Respect❤️
Amazing production quality, analysis, speaking tempo, and handing off to both guys. High level production channel!
I’m leaning entirely on this video for my first bike choice for next year! ( taking classes now!) . Very well done by the way ! You guys know what you’re talking about
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!

@MadCuzUBroke Ease of use is a big one-most if not all of them you just power on and go. There's no warming to be done or worry about stalling like gas powered bikes. They aren't the fastest things but they get you around very nifty. There's also the heavily reduced amount of maintenance, but that's electric powered vehicles in general. If you were primarily going to be riding in a busy city, 100% electric bikes are a contender

Four months on a Honda Navi for me learning the basics. Now I have a Speed 400 on order.
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.
thanks a lot man! I'm looking for a bike and i've been looking into looks and power only. now i have considered when shall I use it and this video helped me a lot and will surely save me a lot of money. thanks again!
Honestly, I really like that white scooter.

Thank you for this video I was thinking of getting a motorcycle and this video really helped me learn more about motorcycles
This was soooooo helpful. Ive been shuffling which bike i want to get (which i was definitely set on a Yamaha YZF-R3) and didnt really consider how many options i actually had.
Wow! I am impressed with how dense this video is with content. You both are great presenters and did a great job editing. Thanks for creating this great video.
Thank you for making this video. Got to know different types of bikes, their purpose, comfort, which is suitable for us etc.
Wow what a well done video! Super informative and easy to understand. Just got my M1 after my partner got his and a sport bike. Wish me luck!
Thanks for this video x I absolutely LOVE sport bikes, but I don't know much about them - this really helped
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.
Amazing gentlemen, extremely helpful. Thank you and God bless you both and your love ones.
Amazing video with loads of stats and information. Kudos guys .. keep creating such videos
I worked so hard for the past 30 yrs and looking to blow my money on different hobbies. MC is one of them
Thanks for including scooters, awesome video 👍
Absolutely the best video for choosing the right type of motorcycle, just for you. And, it’s important to get your ass in the seat to get a feel for what you prefer most, and for the reasons you’ll be riding a motorcycle. 👍🏼👏👏👏👏
Really well done video. Extremely helpful. Now I understand the difference between the different types of bikes.
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.
Whatever about the bikes... I'm just hugely impressed with the production quality of the video and how good those presenters were!!
This is super helpful. I love that you included a scooter. Thanks guys.
Holy geez, that scooter description. I ain't going anywhere far for a good amount of years, a pack mule is my spirit animal, I haven't ridden a manual before, and I haven't ridden a motorcycle before. I love suspension and the look of a dirt bike, but DANG that storage capability.
Wow! This is an excellent video! My biggest complaint with KZread 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!
