I’m 66 years old with nothing to prove and am putting a LOT of miles on my Honda NC750X; riding way more than I ever did back when I was in my 30’s but usually a lot slower and more relaxed. It just might wear out before I do. Have fitted it for comfort and for touring.

@shaneparfitt77 Год назад

60 yo Aussie, bought my first bike in 40 years. A city commuter, walked in with my heart set on a KTM 790 Duke, test ride done. Mrs spent a fortune in the shop on my gear, that was her part of the deal, ATGATT when the sales dude looked at me, told me not to ask and threw me a set of keys and pointed to a 390 Duke and just said 5 minutes. I shrugged my shoulders and jumped on. 5 minutes later, I bought a KTM 390 Duke. That was 2 years ago and I have 0 regrets. If anyone can find a better bike to dash from 1 side of a city to the other twice a day in peak hour traffic, let me know lol

@jakegarrett8109 Год назад

Adventurous me probably would have taken my grandfathers 90cc up to that kind of speed as a kid though, lol (stock it would do 70 mph with a full sized adult). You can call it getting slow and timid, or you can just say you've seen enough splattered bugs on the windshield to know its not a good idea and that its just not your time to splat yet. As for me, as long as I don't go splat I know my bones are only going to heal slower when I get older, so now would be the time to fly (though I'm already getting pretty old for a sportbike at 27, I figure I have until 30'ish and then trade out for a more sporty Harley like their Sportster S which is fun but extremely limited at 35 degree lean angle). Getting old doesn't have to be terrible, but my grandfather's advice was "never get old", so try to keep feeling young and doing what you love!

Just turned 39 and bought a base model 750GS last month. Already put 600+ miles on it. Perfect first bike. $12k(ish) out the door. Plenty of bells and whistles I can buy for it later. Upright riding position. 500 or so lbs. Plenty of power but not excessive. Plus, unlike some of the shady Japanese bike dealers here in SoCal, BMW dealerships are renowned for being a pleasure to work with. Best dealership experience of my life. No joke.

Keeping the cat on doesn’t matter. It still sounds like shit, runs rich, and destroys power and gas mileage. Saying the weight loss offsets the power loss is asinine. You have no idea what power loss you have. Your entire torque curve is affected when you change exit velocities of your exhaust. Just buy an exhaust that’s been tested for it.

@Konastang18 Год назад

Well. I literally started two months ago. I am 50. Never once rode a motorcycle in my life. I have been an avid cyclist for 30 years and that transitioned perfectly into motorcycle riding. I also apply the situational awareness and threat and error management I use in flying to riding the motorcycle. I bought a used Kawasaki Versys 650 which fits my 6 foot 5 frame very well. So yes, even at 50, you too can start fresh. Maturity and restraint definitely help.

@yammienoob Год назад

Lots of cross discipline with cycling, especially road awareness

@Konastang18 Год назад

@@yammienoob Yes it does. And I think the experience from flying for 20 years helps a lot as far as the psychological aspect of always evaluating and analyzing your current and future situation as you ride in an always dynamic environment. The mental game is as or I would argue more important than the actual physical aspect of motorcycle riding. Especially in the DFW area!!!

I'm 68, and an important consideration for me (and many other older riders, I'm sure) is riding position. My legs don't bend into the shape needed for a sports bike, or even what's considered a normal position in a modern bike. That's one reason why my bikes are both conventional style from the 70s, a Triumph Bonneville 750 and a Suzuki GS550. They are also mechanically simple, with low running costs, and fun to ride. I must confess, I'm not a new rider, I've had my licence here in the UK for 52 years, and have had a bike for most of that time, but I am old and have had a long time to decide what bike I want to ride.

Passed the infamously brutal license tests and did the sensible thing and started on a CBR250RR for a year and I'm now in the market for a upgrade to middle class naked because I do a little bit of everything (short trips, long touring, mountain twisties etc). Test rode a Street Triple RS the other day and it's on my shortlist.

I drove many bikes...from my first Benelli 125 cc to Harley Panhead 1200..all the Japanese marques, Moto Guzzi, Ducati...much Oldtimers..many 2 Strokes. Now this year I bought my first brand new bike : A "Kawasaki Z900 RS SE" - for my 60th birthday. This was - may be - my last dream to ride. And it's so much fun to ride, I`ll never regret it. So I`m with you.....try to ride, you will never regret - you are never too old. Regards from germany to all the older bikers and the truth speaking, Mr. Yammi Noob

I started riding this year at 35. I got a Yamaha SCR950 and love it! I really like that it is low maintenance with a belt drive and air cooled motor. It has more than enough power to ride with a passenger. However, after over 5000 miles of riding I’m starting to want something with more power. I’m am still very happy with the bike and probably won’t sell it when I get a more powerful machine in the future.

@PatrikMT07 Год назад

@ZeroKitsunei Год назад

I started riding at 29. I wanted a MT-07 but this was the height of covid. Finding one was impossible. So I ended up getting a new MT-03. Honestly I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand I am sure that starting on a 300 has made me a way better rider. I have never gotten into a wreck or dropped it. You have to think about your positioning in traffic, and be a little more conscious of people. Cause while it has a 5sec 0-60 time and I can get it up to 110 (which isn't bad, and only 17mph less than a 07). After 90 it starts to pieter out in rapid acceleration. You pissoff someone in a Toyota Corolla. There is a very real chance you aren't gonna easily get away from them. I want more power, but having less has definitely made me less of an asshole. Also the bike is so light it feels super good to take it through a twisty road.

I started riding in my early to mid 30's. Started on a Honda Shadow 750 for one full season. Next season jumped up to a Harley Fat Bob for a few months then completely switched over to sport / naked bikes. Starting a little later in life really helped me figure out the type of riding I wanted to do, and as much as Harley tried cramming "the biker lifestyle" down my throat, I don't think I'll ever be happy going back to a cruiser again.

As a no more young biker my advices are: upoer zone fairings for cold season, or rain, debris protection or even just dress protection from dirt if one is wearing a business suite; single surface seat to travel with another person, central standing for long parking days in the garage and easy access to the engine for basic maintenace, something we old men really like to do on our own. Something like a Triumph Thruxton with fairings but a 500 to 850cc engine. I wish many km and many more smiles.

@lazzygnome4060 Год назад

Got my first bike earlier this year at 35 years old. After a lot of thought and shopping around, I finally decided on a Triumph Street Triple RX. It's comfortable with a riding position similar to a mountain bike, handles like a dream, and has enough power that I don't feel I'll ever need to upgrade to something more powerful. While I'm sure there are those who would argue that 105 horse power is a bit much, even for an "older" new rider, I don't ride hard enough for that to be an issue.

@johnlebeau5471 Год назад

I took the MSF course at 55, having never ridden before. Then I didn't buy a bike. Took it again 5 years later with my 16 year old son (yes, I'm a geriatric dad). Again, didn't buy a bike. Finally, I decided I would be too old to ride if I didn't get something. At 62 I bought a Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber. Why a Guzzi? Air cooled, cylinders out in the breeze instead of one in front of the other, shaft drive, and a manageable weight of 465lbs full of fuel. It's "only" 55 horsepower and 45.7 ft-lb --enough to get on the highway, not enough to get into too much trouble. My son, by the way, had a Honda CFR 125 until he outgrew it, then a Grom, followed by a GXS-R600, and now a Harley Road Glide. He's been riding for half his life. Why buy a big Harley at 22? Lets just say there's a girl involved and she likes to go riding with him.

@timaurus Год назад

I started riding again after a 17 year hiatus due to an accident. I returned on a BMW F800S and it was perfect, though getting a bit old now. I'd say an MT07 or SV650 would be great choices for anyone learning. And good advice on multiple cheaper bikes.

I'm 43 but at 32 my first bike was a ct110. Wish I didn't sell it now. But I quickly moved onto a xvs650. I wish I didn't sell that either. It was a great cruiser for beginner. Since i didn't ride for 5yrs after that I recently got myself a klr650. And loving being back on two wheels.

A nice older man bought my 1971 ct90 with an atc110 engine swapped in... man I miss that bike. I hope he loves it as much as did

Hi thanks for the fun video. I am 62 and have been riding street bikes for 45 years. I was a riding instructor fot 30 years and we had many students that were in their 50s and 60s just stsrting. I had a guy once who was 82. Glad they were taking a course but so many of the older guys wanted to buy an HD because people told them they were great. I was like no they are too heavy and high insurance. Turbo Busa is where its at.

Tuono 660 perfect older riders beginner bike. Lots of safety features love mine

@briannarelle Год назад

Started riding in my 30s. Now cruising on a 650 Ninja in my mid-70s. Wound up writing training films for the MSF along the way.

My first bike (at 48 y/o) was a triumph bobber that I bought exactly 1 year ago today, two months later I upped to a triumph 1200xe, 2 months after that I grabbed a triumph Thruxton RS. 3 months later I bought a triumph speed triple RR. I've had this bike the longest (almost 4 months now I think) and I'm finally satisfied, lol.

@sg22r Год назад

love it when you talk about ppl in their 30's and show images of 70 years old

@scottgiblett6691 Год назад

Obtained my bike licence just over a year ago. I'm in my Early 40s and opted for a Triumph Trident 660. Covered 7500 miles in one year (No commuting to work). Absolutely loving it. Glad I did it a little later in life as I don't think I'd be here anymore if idve done it earlier 😅.

@tompoczos8312 Год назад

given your trident experience, do you think a street triple would've been overkill?

@drumsnbass Год назад

Started riding again mid/late 50’s. Bought a used BMW 650GS. Barely got 200 miles in it and stepped up to an R1200GS. The 650 felt physically too small and underpowered. The 1200 was perfect. I could have started on that bike. ~5 years later still riding a GS, a KTM1290SAT, and a Honda XR650L. Had a Harley Road Glide for a bit. Great long distance bike once you put better shocks & tires on it but it’s a really heavy beast. The 1200GS is the perfect “Swiss army knife” bike.

@erich.4305 Год назад

this is interesting. I am 55 hadn't ridden in about 23 years. Last bike was a Kawasaki GPZ750. This summer I got a BMW F650CS. I love it . More than enough power. It checked all the boxes for me. fuel injected, ABS, and belt drive (no chain to maintain)

@charliet.sanford2495 Год назад

I had a bike when I was 18. Sold it after a few months and have regretted it ever since. Got my second bike two weeks ago at 39 years old. I’m absolutely LOVING it even more than I did back then.

@alexpascal5403 Год назад

Same. Major accident at 25. Got a new bike at 32. No more gixxor for me. 3 friends have passed away since 25.

@FireBean8504 Год назад

Started riding at 32. Took my first real spill on my bike at 37. I don't bounce back like I used to when I was in my 20s. Had to sit there for a min to absorb the pain before I could stand back up.

@AjayKumar-hh6hx Год назад

I turned 30 a few months ago and purchased my first bike, a Svartipilen. I rip through the streets (responsibly) and am loving the experience. It is all matt black and disappears in the night. The metric I used was: get a bike that is affordable, good looking, and powerful enough to comfortably carry two people up a steep slope. Of course, I travel alone.

@kenbling910 Год назад

I'm 30 and am also looking to get a Svart as my first bike! Going in this Saturday to have a look. Ticks all the boxes for what I need for an affordable and fun starter bike.

@AjayKumar-hh6hx Год назад

@@kenbling910 Go for it! It has great cornering abilities and is a real crowd magnet

@barisax96 Год назад

as an older beginner (44), I ended up getting a Triumph T120, and probably spent about $1200 on gear (helmet, gloves, boots, jacket, leg protection), and most of that was the helmet. tried a Honda Rebel 300 first and feel that was a mistake. the T120 has been fantastic for commuting to work which is about 20 miles away for me.

@gingerdeadman6589 Год назад

I wouldn't say i'm an older rider, but i started late. Hit 30 and decided its now or never so got a little 125cc Chinese cruiser, been on that for almost 2 years now and ready for the big boys. Looking for something with a similar look just...bigger...haha.

@bladeh7734 Год назад

Got my license and started riding at 54. Wanted an adventure bike but... due to covid, supply was near nonexistent. MT-03, one of five on my short list, showed up at the dealer after a few weeksof looking so I grabbed it. I try to ride as weather and my skill level permits.

@brooksobrien5290 Год назад

Got back to bikes at 60 with an SV650S then took it to a performance bike school then track days. Now I run a Yamaha R6 on track and a Ducati 900SS on road trips like Sturgis S.D. in late September, no Harley's then!

@hoonigan123 Год назад

I'am 34 , got my motorcycle license this year and got an MT07 :) happy so far :)

@williewasahippie Год назад

I come from a motorcycle racing family (dad and uncle) and my dad was a Harley mechanic. I wanted to race growing up but never even got a motorcycle until the age of 55 almost 1 1/2 years ago! I Rode my S40 cruiser for a few months. It was cheap and good to learn on but I got bored and bought a new Ninja 400 a year ago. Now I want something faster but am just modding my Ninja in the meantime. Might flash the ECU next for more HP.

@heinekenczech Год назад

Stopped riding at 28. Bought Ducati Multistrada V4 at 59. With Full Acrapovic race exhaust. This bike wheelies in 4th gear at 77 mph in touring mode. Can’t stop smiling! Love it.

@DrSKMetz 25 дней назад

I resemble those remarks. My first bike was a BMW F800ST at age 52. With hindsight it was amazing that I lived through the first six months but now I have more than 200k under my belt.

@slavan96 Год назад

Never rode a bike in my life, got my first bike at 41yo in October of 2021 (2015 Yamaha R6). I love riding that bike. 8 months later I bought a 2005 Honda VTX 1800n. That as well is an AWESOME bike. I wish I would've got a bike at a younger age. My 15 yo son has rode my R6 around the yard and loves it. He wants one so bad that's all he talks about. Anyway ride safe and keep it shiny side up.

@davidung7785 Год назад

I’m 36 bro for my licence last month got aprillia 660 lams bike. Nearly lost it on 2nd day of riding. Went off the road (turned too late ) braked and skided for over 50m on dirt rocky gravel then somehow manage to balance and back onto the hwy at 60km. Glad to still be alive.

@BrotherPhilo1958 9 месяцев назад

I'm 65 just started riding one month ago. I got a Vulcan 900 Classic. It seems to be a good first bike.

@kpraz Год назад

at 34 Id go for a royal enfield continental GT chrome tank and exhaust mod... or a MOTO GUZZI or a triumph bobber next would be an XADV and tour the world.

@jeremyclutterbuck4665 Год назад

Started riding 8yrs ago in my late 30’s on a Used Harley road glide touring bike. 3yrs and 30,000km I realized I’m not that old yet and moved on to a KTM 1190 adventure to spice up my touring and I have logged another 35,000km on it. Many more to come.

@tohrmentrixabyss1713 Год назад

I'm 42 and took my M1 in June while the wife was away visiting her mother. She came back to an 08 GS500F on the driveway. Took the MSF at the end of July and have put 3k km on my bike so far. I really enjoy the bike but I'm already getting the itch for something bigger. I love the Aprilia RS660 but they are a bit pricey. I live in Canada but my company head office is in Austin TX so if I can convince them to send me there for "training" maybe I can stop by and see the Papa Yam for some tips and tricks

33 just got a 2022 xsr900. Rode it for 2 weeks before it got too cold.

@jackgonzales-alexander1104 Год назад

I started riding at 33, a little over a year ago now, and due to being in England, my bike is a 125cc Yamaha ys… I had no issues with it for the first 6 months, and in fact I still love the bike now, but have to admit, on the longer journeys it can be a slow, which I don’t personally mind… some things I do mind, though, as an all weather rider, is the tiny bicycle wheels, single disc upfront, drum brake at the rear, forks as thick as toothpicks and no ABS… I hope to have a new bike, with all of the above, by next winter…

@seminky5341 Год назад

My first bike at 22 was R1 then 12 years of working, studying and more working. I got a RSV4 Factory. So a Liter bike for a beginner. No issue.

@xxB34R1216xx Год назад

I'm 35yrs old. Took the HD Riders Academy in October and just bought my first bike in Nov. Got a banger deal on a used 22 Indian Scout Rogue w only 300mi on it. Gotta say the 100hp feels more than manageable after the initial shock of not being on a range with a safety coach lol. I spent the first 2 weeks in the safety of my neighborhood before taking it to the streets for my first gas fill up. Been riding every chance I get. Just passed 400mi on the street. Sweet and solid bike. I'd recommend as a first bike 100%.

@calebposey3196 Год назад

Got my first bike in June, a 21 Scout w/ 800 miles. I did basically the same thing, but I commute a lot and have already put 4,000 miles on it. Great bike!
