Thanks for this
can you please make a video on top 10 hummers
My criticism is the same as with all "Top beginner bike" videos. They are All new bikes. Make a list of 2000- 2010 bikes. Because that's the bikes a beginner should ride (You open the video saying it, but then it's all new bikes after that). It's Too lazy to just pop up the newest models of 300's and say this is it. No it's Not great bikes for a beginner. There is no need for these videos. They are at best click bate and at worst puts the idea of these bikes being what a beginner should ride into the heads of unsure beginners. Be less lazy and research 10 used models that you can find on the used market with a minimal value loss after the 6 months of beginner bike riding is over and it's time for a bigger bike.
Awesome vid thanks for guide🤗
