Can feel the nervousness - but that's a good thing. Not the best road conditions for a first ride but you were sensible and circumspect. Normally when you see GSXR in a YT video title, reckless stupidity is frequently what you find nowadays when you click on it. Glad to see the opposite here, well done. You'll grow in confidence as the miles and experience accumulate - when they do, and you feel ready, never discount some further enhanced or advanced training to keep you sharp and hone your skills. It's well worth the time and small financial investments in order to get the best from yourself and your pride and joy. Anyway, In the meantime, keep it sane and enjoy your new ride to the full 😀
@@Old_Geezer Thank you appreciate the comment 👍🏽 Yeah like you say being nervous is not a bad thing keeps me more alert, but hopefully I'll improve and start enjoying it as the weather gets better but been out on it few times and nerves are still attacking me 😂. Thanks geezer
@@Down-2-Ride You're welcome - and yeah, don't worry, it will come - ride at your own pace and the enjoyment will soon begin to outweigh the trepidation 👍
@@FranciscoSchwartz9 cheers man, definitely scared/nervous just need to spend some time getting used to it but at the same time keep the right mindset. 👊🏽
That's some bike to start on just take it easy and you'll be fine which i think you are anyway just a bit of advice is when the weather is shite like it is now keep on top of the cleaning or else the bike turns to cheese pretty quickly.
@@zedddddful Loving it so far just need the nicer months to arrive.... Yeah i was thinking i need to give it a wipe down so its a must now. Nice one 👊🏽
So, as you know. Most experienced riders would probably agree that a GSXR 750 is too much bike for lesser experienced rider. I try to recommend a new rider get a bike with decent power; suspension, and breaks. I am not big on newbies riding around on some 250cc bike, which is basically a moped covered up as a "real" bike either. That said, what's done is done. You have a bike with great components. I recommend finding a place to practice panic stops and such. I recommend this because the biggest problem with too much bike vs. experience is this. Inexperienced riders almost ALWAYS get into their first "big" situation and panic. That panic leads to grabbing MORE throttle almost every time. That is what gets you hurt. Hence the reason, don't start on something that has 140-hp, because when that panic situation comes, and it will. Grabbing that throttle instead of braking makes bad things happens in about 1.2 seconds. So find a place and practice! Enlist some of your mates to place "live" obstacles in your routine vs stationary ones. All of that preaching aside, i do congratulate you on your current ability and self-control displayed in the video.
@@cg1288 Nice comment mate appreciate you looking out for me but yeah i definitely will practice emergency stops thats a good shout I'll even make a vid from it 👍🏽 cheers
How long have you been riding, you don't seem to be a begginer.. Your stops are so controlled compared to mine, Mine's like sometimes I land on my right foot but most on my left😅

First ride? How did you get it home from the dealership? Have you been riding someone elses bike previously? Doesn’t seem like a restricted license bike.
@@GhostRider020 dealership delivered to my house, no experience apart from lessons and no need for the bike to be restricted as i am above the age of 24 and completed full licence. Thanks for all your questions
@@Down-2-Ride Number 1 problem to be aware of with the 750: you're idea of what slow is will get distorted and end up being not slow enough. Good luck with that. GSX-R750 is best bike ever. I'm replacing mine with a 2025 model this spring.
@@GhostRider020 I hear that man and thanks 👍🏽... 2025 gsxr nice dont do them hear not that i could afford one anyway.... what model do you have now then
I bought an 03 600 gsxr. My mechanic told me not to rev it too much as the engine may blow because he said it has problems but doesn’t know what is it exactly till he open it. Should I go to a different mechanic? I paid 1.7k for it 😢
Bruda one word get a 125cc if your gonna buy a big bike like this and be scared of using the power it ain’t for you clearly…. Get yourself a 125 and be happy at least you can pin the throttle don’t understand people like this buy a big cc bike and scared to use the power and riding on edge
@@BMWDoctor id be scared/nervous on a 125cc aswell just because im sitting on all that power doesn't mean i have to use it im slowly learning the bike the vid is my first ride stated in the title did you expect to see me weaving in and out of traffic and reaching mad speeds... i know what your trying to say but i will keep the right mindset try my hardest not to get cocky and dont worry about impressing people. Cheers man
@ ain’t about impressing people just I never understand the mentality if your a new rider and scared and nervous then I wouldn’t have gone for a GSXR as that bike will kill you later on as the power is too much. For someone like yourself like that a SV650 would of been more suitable for starting out but then i been riding years even before I got a license I’m all on 1000cc and 1400cc bikes and fly around like a mad man through traffic. I’m just saying if I was you get used to the bike or sell it man as if your nervous already that’s when it ends up killing you Being nervous on the road even in MOD 2 they tell you that being hesitant undue hesitation is what I’m seeing in this video as a car driver and bike rider you can see you are scared which is not a good thing most like yourself end up dead within a year.. I’m just warning you you need to dominate on the bike and protect yourself on the road and show confidence showing fear and worry is when car drivers will have you
@@BMWDoctor i hear you man i understand that your warning me aswell, with abit of time onit i will be fine i admit the weather/conditions are not the best aswell so playing on my mind but thats what you get for wanting to ride in the winter i guess..... I'll be alright 👊🏽 thanks man
@ yeah that’s one thing I don’t do is ride in winter only summer time I have 4 bikes myself but won’t use them in winter I’m too ocd but yeah be careful out on these roads the salt they been using has oil init and people are coming off left right and center just be cautious of car drivers as when your on a bike they are expecting you to move fast and quick especially approaching junctions
@@sham27007 yeah i know i have a mic but wanted to concentrate on riding plus this cold weather has me sniffing alot 😂 and im sure you wouldn't want to hear that... but i will be talking in future vids 👍🏽
That’s one hell of a bike for a new rider. But I’m intrigued to see where this goes. Enjoy !
