At the end of October I will be riding for 2 years. My first bike ever I bought a Suzuki Boulevard M109R. Put aftermarket exhaust and air intakes. Had the ecu flashed. It’s a beast. Then in March I bought me a 2022 S1000RR. At the first service I had complete M4 exhaust, Brentune Stage 2, and the Sprint air filter put on. All done by me.

Wow. I'm on stock battlax s22's 190 I think, and at 8,000 miles this thing is toast. So squared off it's not even funny. I've never intentionally burned out on this bike but the engine brake is like slamming the brake in my opinion. So even just backing off the throttle quick is dragging tire and rubbing away.

Imo any bike can be a beginner bike depending the rider. I grew up having dirt bikes. So when I was ready to roll around 17. I learned on my dad's busa. And loved it. Now I have a liter bike. Zx10r kaw actually. But I think someone who's familiar with riding something like a dirtbike 4 wheeler etc? Then you could start on any bike imo. Some say 600cc but in time you will probably want something bigger? And with bikes being expensive asf now. It might be easier to get you a liter bike from start?
@@Mke-dh8go essentially yeah. Decat, filter, velocity stacks, flapper delete, IAT relocate. Emissions delete, Tune. From the factory all new 1000cc bikes are heavily restricted.
Love the s1k. Regardless of modes maneuverability on the street any bike that has the ability to go from 0-100 mph in mere seconds probably isnt a good first choice. From experience Even on a ninja 400 one wrong throttle pull on the wrong street can end badly
I disagree. Power gives you options. If you need to get out of a sticky situation quick then the liter will get you there. A 300cc not so much. It’s all mental. You can kill yourself just as quick on a smaller cc bike if you ride like a tool.
If you know you want to end up on a liter bike, get a liter bike to start. As a new rider who never rode anything, I listened to all the noise and got a SV650... great bike... and I outgrew it and got bored in one month. I did dozens of hours of research, watched dozens of YT videos, read many forum posts and literally everyone was saying the same thing, so I figured they must be right. For me, THEY WERE ALL WRONG! I now regret it every time I ride. I have to save up for my next bike, which is a BMW S1000rr, and I'm stuck with this slow bike. I listened to all the people who said, "a liter bike is way too much bike for a beginner", "you can have just as much fun on a 650". This is absolute garbage. It's like saying you can have just as much fun in a V6 Honda Accord, as you can in a Ferrari. Total nonsense. Everyone's different though. If fun to you is moderate acceleration, you have no interest in going faster than 120mph, and/or you know you are reckless and have no inherent coordination and skills... then YES get a starter bike 100%. If you know you want to end up on a liter bike, you want to go 140mph, and have even a fair amount of confidence in your maturity and composure; then get the liter bike. I never rode and was entirely dependent on other's experiences and was totally unsure and apprehensive; if you're on the fence and unsure if you can handle a liter bike, but have a good feeling you can, YOU CAN! Most all modern super sports have low speed modes to learn on. Even if its an older 1000, just take it easy and start slow... you'll be up to speed in literally 2 weeks. Even though 95% of riders will tell you different, 95% (probably much less) of riders aren't interested in super sports, and they're NOT talking about riders like me, and potentially you. Don't let anyone scare you off your path. For someone like me, a "beginner bike" was a complete waste of time, and NO, it's nowhere near as fun. I rode my friends GSXR1000R and my 650 is nowhere in the same universe of fun.
I think the same. I want a liter bike as first bike. But My Friends keep telling the same. I don't want to lose money buying one bike the another. I am 40, wife and a kid. I know My responsabilities. I Will Buy My liter bike.
Seriously thanks for the info man I’ve never rode got on my brothers 600 within a week of riding his bike I knew I would outgrow it really fast and with my confidence and maturity I truly do believe I could start on a 1000 went to go look at them and sat on one it was extremely comfortable starting to save up for a 1000 instead of 600
I have a ducati 796 as my first bike falled whit her 3times, almost broke my hand . Than i decides to buy sk1rr my friend say you gonna die you already fall 3times . I don't care what they said so i buy a sk1rr 2017 i found this bike so easy and confortable for me 6'3' already did 15kmiles never fall once whit the bmw the first 2k mile i stuck in rain/road mode to learn the bike.... Best bike I ever had
The warning 8 times out of 10 seems to be true, at least for me. Been pulled over twice, and I was honest and cordial and got verbal warnings both times. Catch me on a 1000 though, I ain't pulling over 😈
is there any way to buy the s1000rr (base package) and order some parts to make it look like the futuristic design of the Mpackage? I just need the look not the extra power/lower weight.
Flash it anytime after the dealer removed your limiter after the 600 mile service! Make sure to flash back to stock anytime you bring it in to the dealer.
Yeap, I couldn't agree more on the s1000rr since it has a lot of tech and comfortable to get acclimated to as a new rider even if it is a super sports with a lot of power. I also didn't know that rain mode feels like a 400cc, that's crazy. What do you think of the V4 streetfighter anyway?
@@primitiveflier have you ever ridden one or had any interest in riding one? Now it makes sense why my neighbor started on an s1000rr years ago, rain mode helped a lot I guess.
Can I jump from a 300cc single cylinder to a liter class bike especially S1000RR and CBR (since they are easy to ride)? I can easily handle 650cc bikes and have a little experience on 600cc bikes...
@@Luckyyyy12 most modern liter bikes will have an autoblipper and quick shifter . Pretty much clutch less shifting. The 600cc bikes also have this feature but not all of them.
I ordered a full track suit from alpine star online It arrived but it doesn’t fit so I have to get another one My friend is a beginner he’s been riding for 2 months I think He wants a Ducati v4 . What is your opinion on it ?
I started on a 636 Kawasaki ninja and I’m 6’2 230 lbs so I’m a bit of a bigger guy. When I started I definitely was nervous even after taking basic riders course. I made sure to get the ABS when I bought the KAWI. First liter I was pretty much scared shitless for about a week. Buuuut the good things about these newer liter bikes is that it’s got loads of electronics and rider aids and you can tune down the rider mode so it will not give you instant power all at once. I’d say yes get the V4… Just don’t drop it. And highly recommend taking a riders course before buying the motorbike
@@primitiveflier Yeh that’s what I thought as well It’s not that it has too much power it’s just depends on the person I have a Ducati v4s It might actually be safer to get a liter bike It has more options and superior technology More high end stable suspension , and stability control You can’t go wrong with it
@@rexlapis1075 yes exactly. Though it is tempting at first to full send it; you just have to have the proper mindset in any bike - big or small. I’d say have a chat with your friend and express the severity of the consequences if you let the bike control you. I’ve had a few moments but you just have to realize the consequences to every action…
3 times pulled over all for speeding and the worst one was 110mph on a 65mph and I always respect the officer. Don’t argue and accept my fault. Believe it or not, I have never gotten an actual ticket. Just a nice short talk and warning and I was let go!
Bro me and my friend usually have bike talks in general but we always are stuck on this topic of ducati Or any inline 4 bike, cause ducati has no sound and dont have smooth noise were as any inline 4 gives a very furious, soul and head turning symphony, but then again ducati looks are over the symphony and the power as well so can you make a video on which u can give this topic a clear answer Ducati is good or any inline 4 bike is the best ! -India🇮🇳
It all boils down to preference. The Ducati’s sound is very distinct and so is the Aprilia and R1 (inline cross plane motor). The inline 4s are generally much smoother engines and sounds like an F1 car. The only thing is you can’t really tell which bike it is just from hearing it. All the bikes sound good; it’s just a matter of which you prefer the most. For me the bikes I have is the best of both worlds. The S1K sounds amazing and is the best for street riding and commuting. The Ducati feels great and makes you feel very special when you’re in one. Everyone looks at you and it’s stupid powerful top end makes you hold on for dear life.
I don’t really notice it anymore. I probably am used to it but I did take it into the shop to have it looked at. Vibrations started when I took off the steering stem nut and replaced it with an aftermarket. They said it wasn’t torqued down to spec so they fixed it for me free of charge and it’s not bothered me since… So to answer your question - no I don’t notice the vibrations any longer since taking it in.
Cool, really considering this bike, I have a panigale 959 right now and im not sure wether I go for the s1000rr or the Aprilia rsv4 factory. Your thoughts? Since you’ve had both?
@@sepomah Aprilia is nice; but if you don’t have a dealer near you to do the valve checks then don’t get it - unless you know what you’re doing; aprilia was a pain in my ass tbh. It constantly leaks oil even after taking it to the dealer two times which I had to drive 2 hours one way. And the valve checks on the aprilia is 12k miles. The best bang for your buck street liter is the s1k; get forged wheels if you can. I was in a rush cus these bikes sell so damn fast because they’re that good. The s1k had a water pump recall but that’s the only thing I had an issue with - all covered under warranty. It’s three years 36K miles so it’s unbeatable. Aprilia sounds nice but like I said; it’s a pain in the ass to own quite frankly. My friend has an Aprilia same as mine and he had a ton of issues but he fixed it himself because he knows his way around the motor… Finally S1K is such a smooth bike and the power is insane man. The only thing that will probably keep up is a zx10. The s1K will walk my Panigale; but top end Panigale will reel it in; but at that point the s1k is already so damn far away and it’s all over… Good luck bro; but I wouldn’t get an aprilia ever again. You should consider the Panigale as well it’s a sick bike
Thanks for the info man, really appreciate it. I live in Moore Oklahoma, so no aprilia dealer near me, I would consider the panigale v4s but it’s just a little over my price range. You pretty much sum it up for me! Eurotek are always sold out of the s1k and they said it will take 6 months to get one because it will be the 2023 model.
@@sepomah they’ve got an aprilia dealer in Tulsa; but trust me dude you don’t want the aprilia rsv4 if you’re looking for reliability. I was sad to let it go because it is definitely a badass bike. It’s an awesome track bike and sounds good but like I said I was just so disappointed because it just kept leaking oil over and over again. Maintenance was also expensive; easy $800 just for valves every 12K miles…. Keep in mind logistics cost time and money going to the shop to Tulsa… Shop in Texas that’s where I got the Panigale $2K below sticker out the door. I shopped in Dallas area! European cycle sports; ask for Cliff he will hook you up.
@Jalen King The Panigale is a taller bike and it’s a very aggressive riding position. The s1K is less tall but not by much. I would sit on both and see what fits you best. 5’9 is a good height man you’ll be fine. I think you’ll only have issues if you’re about 5’0 and below.
Hey buddy i really like watching your video's you don't ride like an idiot like so many other guy's on Crotch Rockets. I can't believe a cop pull you over for 8mph over the speed limit how ridiculous he need to do some resl police work my brother is a Cheif of police and i know he would never do that i can understand if your doing 18 or 20 over mabe then but 8 is just stupid and a waste of his and your time.

The s1k had a water pump recall but that’s the only thing I had an issue with - all covered under warranty. It’s three years 36K miles so it’s unbeatable.
Aprilia sounds nice but like I said; it’s a pain in the ass to own quite frankly. My friend has an Aprilia same as mine and he had a ton of issues but he fixed it himself because he knows his way around the motor…
Finally S1K is such a smooth bike and the power is insane man. The only thing that will probably keep up is a zx10. The s1K will walk my Panigale; but top end Panigale will reel it in; but at that point the s1k is already so damn far away and it’s all over… Good luck bro; but I wouldn’t get an aprilia ever again. You should consider the Panigale as well it’s a sick bike
Thanks for the info man, really appreciate it. I live in Moore Oklahoma, so no aprilia dealer near me, I would consider the panigale v4s but it’s just a little over my price range. You pretty much sum it up for me! Eurotek are always sold out of the s1k and they said it will take 6 months to get one because it will be the 2023 model.
@@sepomah they’ve got an aprilia dealer in Tulsa; but trust me dude you don’t want the aprilia rsv4 if you’re looking for reliability. I was sad to let it go because it is definitely a badass bike. It’s an awesome track bike and sounds good but like I said I was just so disappointed because it just kept leaking oil over and over again. Maintenance was also expensive; easy $800 just for valves every 12K miles…. Keep in mind logistics cost time and money going to the shop to Tulsa…
Shop in Texas that’s where I got the Panigale $2K below sticker out the door. I shopped in Dallas area! European cycle sports; ask for Cliff he will hook you up.
Cbr 1000 Vs s1000? Which one is better for a beginner
I recommend you start on a 600cc .. you can start on a 1000cc but you are more likely to make errors that are unforgiving.
@@primitiveflier Oh okay alright 💪
@@omgupta5090better yet start on a 125 or 150. Be safe!
My dad said if i get my license he will get me the s1000rr
Gas price are 4$per gallon ? 2.6 gallon is 10dollars
It just under $4 per gallon. It’s gone down to about $3.9/gal. It used to be over $5…. This is for 93 octane which is the premium gas.
@Jalen King The Panigale is a taller bike and it’s a very aggressive riding position. The s1K is less tall but not by much. I would sit on both and see what fits you best. 5’9 is a good height man you’ll be fine. I think you’ll only have issues if you’re about 5’0 and below.
@@primitiveflier here in india standard 89/91 fuel is 1.5$ 97 octane is 2$ 100octane is 2.5$
@@parthasarathy5222 ohh wow that’s some cheap gas probably Russian..
@Jalen King V4R is more of a race homologated machine is it not?
I'd take the s1000rr all day honestly for what it does on the street.
Yes definitely a beginner bike if you stay below 6000 RPM
Hey buddy i really like watching your video's you don't ride like an idiot like so many other guy's on Crotch Rockets. I can't believe a cop pull you over for 8mph over the speed limit how ridiculous he need to do some resl police work my brother is a Cheif of police and i know he would never do that i can understand if your doing 18 or 20 over mabe then but 8 is just stupid and a waste of his and your time.
Hahahaha radio will catch up to you wow bro 😂😂😂😂funniest shit I heard in my 20 years I never had a radio catch up to me or the chopper if you have no skill in handling the bike definitely don’t take off
Some of us have a lot more to lose than running from the law. You do you kid.
