    @@tammyforbes2101 Okay, since you didn't get the Joke. (turbobusa best bike) You can hang with most bikes in the twisties, even if your mad underpowered. As long as you somewhat respect the speed limit, you'll be okay with about 50-80HP, depending on how high the terrain is where you ride. It mostly comes down on how well your line is in the corner and how well you know your bike and it's limits. A big factor is the ability the "read the road" or just outright know where you'll be riding. When you know how tight the corner will be, you'll know with how much speed to approch, how far leaning over and all that jazz. I'm pretty happy with my XF650 (that has 48Horsepower) that i got because regulation (EU laws suck sometimes) and i ride up to about 6000 fett above sealevel pretty comfy and i can hang around with naked bikes that have 100+Hp easily. You may not have the best acceleration, but if you can handle cornering, you'll be fine.

    Seeing as the comment is 3yo I assume you already made the path choice. Just for readers on the comments. Both mindsets have their advantages. On the former, starting with a cheap 250 for less than $1000 will get you experienced on the handling of motorcycles. You will be able to make mistakes like hitting the brake too hard, pulling the throttle too fast, or doing something on accident while turning. With less powerful bikes the forgiveness is there if you tense up and act like a human(ie: do something the incorrect on accident when in a state of panic). my street triple and most street fighter bikes are designed for low end torque. Meaning if you hop on and pull the throttle too much or release the clutch too fast. It will shoot you to 50 in 1st gear within 2 seconds. That can cause panic and probably a crash for a new rider. However, for the latter. Starting with a higher tier bike means you don't have to waste money. In this economy I can understand. There is a lot of hassle upgrading every 6 mo, new tags, registration, insurance. So if you start with a mid tier, you have to go in it with the mindset that bikes can kill you, if you don't respect them. Starting with a mid tier means practicing for a lot in parking lots and seeing how it will respond to your inputs. Every persons journey is different. This I hope will help give answers to those who seek it.

Then it won't be that much slower i'd imagine. But i wouldn't know why anyone would pick the S version over the R/RS unless they were limited by an A2 license.

The one thing I will say though is DO NOT FINANCE your first bike if you plan to upgrade later. I think OTD with everything said and done a ninja 400 is like 5.5 or 6k? Nothing sucks worse than growing out of a bike but still having to make payments. Just save and buy a used one straight up.

    What you didn't mention is the quality of the feedback, which will definitely help you learn to understand how the bike is responding to your inputs. The chassis of the Street Triple RS is very responsive to small inputs to f.i. change your line mid-corner. Which is good if you misjudged how tight it is. Also, power delivery and throttle response are very good so you can adjust precisely if you get a bit of wheelspin in the wet f.i. Then there's the feedback from the brakes. Not the very best in the world but pretty damn good. And it's got ABS, so who's going to lock the wheels up? Nah, perfect beginners bike that you won't get bored with. Go get one folks.

    I agree on the performance argument and I own 2016 675rs as my first bike. I took it just before yesterday to mountain roads the.firdt time, having ridden the str for around 5 months mainly on intercity trips. I mean 200-550km, so it accumulated to 5000km total just last year. I felt uncomfortable in the mountains, I was slower than experienced colleague and the cars and I wished for something smaller like ~400cc. I could have crashed several times in tricky situations, but I managed it. I had no motorcycle experience before the purchase and the license course, I just had drove cars for 4 years. I got the str just because all dl650 bikes were up to your Craigslist's standards and the deal was extremely good. I dropped the bike once in the traffic not seeing a kerb between lanes, almost without any damage. At any given time I haven't opened the throttle fully below 5th gear and above it just 2 times on a highway. I'm extremely delicate at 1st gear and till today the ABS was of no use for me, I needed it not even once. I got it the fastest just to 200kph once or twice shortly, the bike can do safely more. I love my bike and I'd make the same decision. It maybe too much for me and I could far better during the course at low speeds than now for some reason, but I wouldn't change it really soon, which saves me money I don't have, albeit the bike isn't perfect for touring I usually do. The quality, the luxuries, the performance are what I like about it.

    I went from a 2004 Yamaha XT225 dual sport bike that I rode for about a year to a 2013 Triumph Street Triple, and that transition was amazing and gave me so much more respect for what the street triple can offer, even if it is a 2013. I totally agree though, starting out with a street triple is a bad idea because learning the fundamentals of riding on something with that much power would've definitely left me in a ditch on multiple occasions. Nevertheless, the street triple is a fantastic bike that will cost you an arm and a leg for maintenance, and both arms and legs when you try to fix it yourself and inevitably screw it up.

    The Street Triple RS was my 3rd bike (EU motorcycle rider), I know I couldn't have comfortably rode it as my second, and especially not if it were my first bike. I'm glad I went 125>310>675.

    I got the 2016 Street Triple 675R as my first proper bike (rode a Yamaha TZR50 in my teens). I feel it's a happy medium if you're looking for a Street Triple for your first proper bike. 105bhp with ABS, no rider modes or traction control. The 675's not quite as rapid as the 2017+ RS (I had one as a courtesy bike), but fast enough to get yourself into bother. I feel on the 675, most people with a little self preservation will get on just fine. I'll add a caveat to this, I got this aged 30, If I had the Street Triple as a 19 year old, I most likely would have hurt myself...

    I live in the Netherlands, where motorcycle exams are pretty strict (about 15 lesson hours spread over multiple weeks), and rightfully so, it’s potentially a dangerous hobby. My first bike was a street triple R 675 and I can honestly say it was the perfect bike for me to start on. It might be different in the USA where, as I understand, demands for getting your license are perhaps a bit more loose. Driving this bike is so much fun, it has A LOT of power, it pretty much feels like a rocket ship, especially if you’re used to a slow “basic” Toyota, although just about any motorcycle would do that ;) but as long as you’re responsible I think you'll be okay. The upside is it’s very light and responsive, and it's nice to be able to pass cars quickly even in 6th gear, perhaps making it safer than less powerful bikes. And oh my god, that sound is absolutely amazing, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Having said all that, you have to know what kind of rider you are. If you know you’re gonna push it to the limit, starting on a slightly less powerful bike is a good idea. Ride safe my homies, respect the power, be responsible, and you’ll be alright :)

    Well...I bought the exact same bike, and year model, as my first bike (in black though). I never felt that the bike was tossing me around. In the first 1000km, I had it in the rain-mode until I got used to the throttle, which has the traction control, anti-wheelie, and ABS at the highest settings. It also takes 20hp of from the top end. It's almost impossible to mess up using then rain-mode even if you want to. After that, I put it to street-mode. Now I have 2.500 kilometers on it and feel very comfortable riding it, slow-speed maneuvers, highway, twisties, traffic, etc. Later on, I will put it to sport-mode. If you go through the modes and grow on it, it's very manageable, which is how you are supposed to start on it. Obviously if Ymmie would read the manual he would know that. For example, the R doesn't have a race mode, but only sport. It does have day-running lights which these diamond looking things, visible inside the headlights. You should certainly test a bike before you make a decision and not decide based on some else's opinion. Don't take me wrong, it's a great fun-channel that I have a hoot watching, but it's still an opinion. Plus, in the future when reviewing a bike please read the manual. To be honest I am not even convinced that the R1 doesn't have a fuel gauge. Who knows maybe he skipped the manual again. Just some (rather blunt) criticism, so he can further improve the content: Don't get lazy on the manual! :P

    YN, thank you for a dose of good advice. Your monologue about leaving the ego at the door and starting off on a lower performance machine is a great point! I have seen that argument made in the aviation world, too. Many newer pilots buy high-performance, complex airplanes. Sure, they fly higher, faster and farther. But, like motorcycles that don't leave the garage, many of those powerful machines sit imprisoned in their hangars, almost never taking off. Their owners don't feel comfortable. By the time the pilot finally builds up the courage to fly, they feel like a student pilot again, needing instruction. Their machines scare the crap out of them. Better to start with a simpler machine. Motorcycling and aviation are similar. I rode a motorcycle before learning to fly. Now, I'm getting back into riding. I'll take your advice and start small. Should be fun. By the way, I hate the sound of the Triumph Triple--grating. All treble, no bass.

    Depends on the definition of “beginner”. Is that the skill level and knowledge to ride responsibly until you get use to the power? Anyone going from a 300cc 40hp to a 800cc (ish) 100+ will not be prepared for the power increase. You ride it and ease into it by managing the safety device between your head and your wrist.

(Compared to my R3s 45hp) I’m still on learners. Once you have a full bike license the dealership will de restrict the bike. Which ends up with 95-98hp. Still less than the 675 108hp obviously. But it’s a massive incentive to buy, Being able to have your forever bike early in our licensing journey, to then be unleashed once you are a better rider.

    I think one thing that he consistently forgets when he mentions that you should always start on a smaller displacement bike, is that.....not everybody is rolling in cash. A typical person.....has to save a long time to buy 1 bike. If he does buy this "beginner bike", it's going to take him EVEN LONGER to save for the next step up, then the next step up, then what, a bike he really wants? Not everybody and i should say, 99.99% of the world that owns a motorcycle, doesn't own 15 motorcycles. We live within our means for the most part, and for most of us, its 1 bike, maybe 2 TOPS. After watching his videos for a long time, I sorta got bored of the whole.....small displacement bikes are the best, and instead started to think.....would I ever be able to get the bike I want? I'm a normal guy, can I afford to replace a bike every year or two? Of course not. I sort of feel like things need to go in the direction of staying safe, but riding the bike you want, instead of being someone that has all this money to buy bike after bike after bike to slowly progress.

    I would like to have anyones thoughts about the Street Triple, I've seen some reviews and Yammie's does help. But I would like to know from someone who has had it for some time now and knows my experience that I'm going to share. Because I'm getting to know some 600 bikes. I'm planning on upgrading to one after I do 10,000 km (roughly 6,000 miles) on my Honda 160 cc, also so it doesn't loose that much of it's value when I sell it. I really just want to have something more technological, my Honda is actually a 2020 bike and it's carburated (didn't know that well when I first started). It has a disc on the front wheel and a drum brake on the rear wheel. It's a nice bike, it was my dream and I made it true (I'm happy). But I don't want it forever and I do want to upgrade to a 600, I think they have enough power and will have what I want. Which is fuel injection, enough power so I'm not left behind anymore 😅 and still get anywhere with all safety included. Now that you know my experience and that I've only owned that one bike, share your thoughts with me. I do appreciate it! 🤗

    I’ve just bought one from learning on a 650 SV Suzuki and owning a Honda cb125r and without doubt it’s the best decision I’ve ever made..... you’re going to get bored with a lesser cc bike and want to upgrade. Street mode or rain mode is perfect for getting to grips with it for a day or two but it’s an awesome machine and worth every penny. Don’t listen to this Yammie guy he’s a bit of a pussy.

    I got my bike licence 5 months ago and ride a 660cc triple and have put a foot down twice because the back slipped out. I did think I need less power at first but if my goal is to get a 1000cc I best stick with it 😊
