Where are you from/where do you live?

Why don't you upload more?

• I prefer to have fewer 'well made' videos that I spend a while editing (sometimes up to 50 hours!) rather than many 'mediocre' videos.

 

• Also as I primarily make music edits/compilations which take a lot longer than vlogs to  get the actual footage.

What would you recommend as a first bike? (UK/EU)

• Sport Bike:

If you fancy a sportbike get yourself a Yamaha YZF R125 if you want a 4 stroke, or an Aprilia RS125 (2006+) if you love 2 stroke.

• Supermoto:

You can't go wrong with a Yamaha WR 125X. But if you need some 2 stroke in your life a Yamaha DT125X is an amazing bike.

Personally I would recommend a supermoto as they're more versatile, cheaper to drop/crash and they go just as fast as the 125cc sportbikes.  Whether you go 2 stroke or 4 stoke is up to you, but if you do go for a 2 stoke, make sure you're happy to get your hands dirty and know what you're getting into.

What would you recommend as a first bike?  (US)

• Sport Bike:

If you fancy a sportbike get yourself a KTM RC390 if you want something fun and sporty, or a Kawasaki Ninja 250/300 if you want something a bit more relaxed and still fun to ride.

• Supermoto:

You can't go wrong with a DRZ 400SM or a WR250R if you plan on spending a bit more time in the dirt.

Without the restrictions that the UK & EU have, there's a whole lot more choice. It's harder to recommend a specific bike as it depends what you like, how confident you are, how much riding experiance do you have etc etc. Personally I would recommend starting on a 250-500 (on the road) as you'll learn to be a better rider (faster) than if you jump on a 600cc+ and probably have more fun unless you just plan on going full throttle down the highway.

I'm just starting out, what gear should I get? 

I've made this list keeping cost in mind. Also remember although a higher price often means better protection, it is not always the case.              Also Check out: RiDE Recommended
