I hope he means power delivery. An inline four R6 delivers it's power and torque in almost the same spots throughout the rev range as an inline four R1, however with the R1 there is just more power and torque in those same spots. If that makes sense.
I would have to disagree. 1. I started on a 600. 2010 Yamaha R6 was my first bike. It's been a delight. Though it is true that I am a speed junkie, I have been responsible in my preparations towards becoming a Supersport rider. About a year before i bought a bike I watched many youtube videos on "HOW TOO"s and "TIPS". Watching so many people helped make up my mind on exactly what i wanted. There were so many people saying different things. So, i came up with my own conclusion. Its all about your mindset. If you want to prepare and be able to take on the responsibility of a 600 or 1000 then you have to start wayy before you even buy one. But knowing what you want first and preparing for it is much smarter than going out and getting something thats too "much" for you. don't be dumb. Make smart decisions. go full throttle when there's little to no traffic. remember, you aren't the only one on the road all the time.
I think 600’s are ok to start off. But 1,000cc oh hell no. Even experienced riders who race on the track still put their 100% effort and skill when riding 1,000cc bike. I cant imagine a complete noob on a 1,000. Just my opinion. Good luck and Ride safe all!!
What about someone who's ridden around on a harley 1200 for a while. I would like to hop on a yammie but I feel like I'd want more speed after a little while if I got the r6. I know it's a whole another realm of bikes but I started out on the sporty and people told me I should go smaller.
Ass Butt trust me. A 600cc is way faster than any Harley and has a scary amount of speed/power. You will never need to get a 1000 or prob even want one
@@assbutt2931 Are you planning to do track days? Because unless you have no fear or losing your license or your life then it is imo very hard to have fun on a liter bike on public roads unless you just want to do top speed runs in the desert. You can use more of a 600 on the road, I find that more fun. I owned a CBR1000RR for a bit at no point could I redline that bike near where I live ever. I found my old ninja 636 to be much more fun on the road but even that was quite a lot.
I think the Kawasaki Ninja 1000 (Z1000sx) is a contender for the 300/400/650 starters if they want 600-1000 level performance with an upright riding position and a tune that is more gentle to people with less skill but will open up their performance ceilings tremendously. Great video man, keep em coming!
Exactly!!!! Nobody understands this!!! It's all about throttle control!! I was riding an Intruder cruiser from 2005. Nice bike. And this year I bought an R1. It's all about throttle control. How to put this in riders' head?? I keep saying it. Either you drive a 60hp bike or a 200hp. It's all about throttle control!!! Love the way you explained it. Going to use it in other videos as well. IT'S ALL ABOUT THROTTLE CONTROL!!
I had an ‘06 gsxr600 and recently got an ‘06 gsxr1000... The 1000 has noticeably more midrange yet doesn’t feel as light through corners. I don’t have a preference since each bike requires different riding styles. I enjoy the 600 in the streets. The 1000 feels better on long highway rides since rpm’s sit lower and bike feels less vibrant. The 600 felt a lot safer for sure altogether.
UA-cam vids make money the longer a viewer watches the video. That's why most UA-cam vids start off like "hey thanks for tuning in to learn about how your cats puke is actually healthy for your skin! But first!...." it's the new age "as seen on tv"
exactly what i was thinking, holy shit i thought what a nice topic to talk about and within the first min i have lost any interest wanting to punch the screen by his pointless rumbling.
I don't want to be that Guy, but riding a motorcycle and wearing a t-shirt is just stupid,aspalth and bare skin is not a good combination.Stay safe man,and use proper riding gear👍🏻
Redshiftit True,but mabye he will think different when he become a father,l know i did.And laying in the hospital bed and growing skin is no picnic.Just My 2 cents,have a good day, and ride safe🏍
^^^ R6 the size just refers to the displacement (ie size) of the engine-600cc. The 600 cc class is produced by most of the main manufacturerers. The gzxr 600, the R6, the cbr-600, and the Ninja 600 all fall into the category. Those bikes all come in 1000cc variants as well, which would be larger, heavier, and more powerful than their 600cc counterparts
I am 192cm and I've never ridden a bike that was "too small". and I've ridden 50cc, 125cc, 650cc, 700cc. The ONLY time when size might put you off is if you are very short.
Thanks for your honest non pretentious opinion. Too many people give you the numbers and then presume to know that these bikes are obsolete for the street. The reality is there is huge variation in people's preferences and the only way to decide is, like you say, get on the damn bike and ride it.
A scooter!!! That ain't even a motorbike is it? A lawn mower on wheelbarrow wheels. Twist'n go don't compare to 1 down and 5 up. I would get an R125 before an R6 if I were you. Really!
I went from a scooter to r6, while the road and traffic awareness I learned from the scooter helped a lot, learning to ride the 600 was a whole new thing. But I dove right in and started riding in the mountains every weekend and picked it up fairly quick. Although I will admit more than a few times I've scared the shit out of myself while out-riding my skill level which is very easy to do. I don't see a problem in going to a 600, just know your limits, and always be willing to learn
Khuan Cam i live in arizona. most of the year its probably more lethal to wear a jacket than not lol. i bought an r1 and brought it home. had to take 2 breaks on the way. it was like 115 degrees. and yeah it was a bit later in the day when the sun was not high.
The hottest I've been in is about 100f with humidity in full race perf leather is just bearable for me. I do have a short 30min commute, but a lot of lights. I'd rather drive or sweat than ride without gear.
I got the all black R6 4 days ago, loving it. I am installing a toce exhaust next week and got the graves fender eliminator installed last night XD. I'll get a quick shifter eventually... Glad you like yours man
Good advice...if you have no experience, don't start out on 600cc or 1000cc...how about you suggest that you wear some gear no matter what you start riding on... AKA don't be a squid no matter how much experience riding you have. What is point of wearing gloves if you are sporting a t-shirt and some tennis shoes?
Great video, I'm looking to upgrade to a litre bike in the next year and a half, all your points are ones I've been trying to make to people with the same arguments. I'll be passing along this video. Finally someone with a similar mind set!
Motonosity, I like the last statement...."I like the R-..." cliff hanger. Both good bikes. I would like them for different reasons too. My R6 gets me all giddy too, no Monster drinks needed. Good job on the video.
So the term Liter and CC, is that how much milk the engine will hold? By the way, you're wrong Motonosity. You can start off on a 600 or 1000, I started on the Enterprise.
I got a 250 dirt bike for a week on the road and then went to 1998 750 gsxr srad... .-. it's not difficult as long as you respect the throttle. i see where you are coming from and I respect it! love the vids!!!
From an experienced riders perspective, Surly the 2012 R1 over the 2017 R6 is a literal no brainer - Bigger engine, same technology as a 2017 spec 600... Granted the R6 is lighter etc but I'd take same tech and bigger engine for a lot less money anyday
were is the white Light for I really wonder why it is but if you ask me I think it means two thinks one you are probebly are doing something illigal and two you are having probebly wayy to mutch fun
Is 1000 or 4 in line? Size matters better handling? 4x50cc are equal to 250cc? Do you care? Have you tried dry clutches? Is it oil or the last litre? Taxes? It's steel, it's steril.
i started on a gsxr600, no problem at all, first day i took it out downtown and the 2nd day into the highway. people make such a big deal to convince new riders that smaller bikes are the onlyway.
I was taught to ride on my buddies GSXR 1000, learned to street ride as I'll call it on a 600 then bought a old Honda CBR929RR. But still rode with both of those two buddies on my bike to practice until I was good by myself. And we'll until the until with the 1000 deployed and I moved away from the busy with the 600. Moved away meaning moved to a different state.
That yellow light is the low fuel level...and that gives me anxiety. He just keeps riding around. I start searching for a petrol station as soon as it comes ip
My R1 got going so fast so quick that before I realized it, I was going 100+ mph. The R6 made me work harder to go fast and gave me time to think about the danger of going triple digit speeds.
I just got a yamaha and I am having the cold start issue. Now when I turn the gas a lil while turning the bike over the engine lights come on is that normal? One more thing, does your honda have the cold start tick a slight tick tell.its warm?
that gas light!! i kept looking at the gas stations you were passing. I wouldn't mind having a 1000 but i do love my R6. I'm really thinking about up grading to the new one.. decisions decisions hmm.
I'm on the fence man..i don't know if i should or shouldn't. mine is a 2015 with about 3700 miles on it. its paid off it still looks good lol i like both body style. i want to ride one before i really make my decision if i can. what is keeps me from going to the dealership tomorrow for one is that its pretty much the same bike with a new fairing design and yes some upgrade here and there. i just don't know if i should.
R6_Brodie i just love the design of the bike and the small tweaks make a suprisingly big difference. Also love all the electronic/abs but honestly if you already have a prev r6 id only get this if you love the design.
i may just flip a coin haha but really i might end up getting it. i want two bikes. i was thinking of getting a grom to just cruise around on. and of course have the R6 for more faster, twisties, long group ride days. I'm going to go check them out this weekend.
You’re killing me smalls!!!!! You cut off just as you’re saying which is your favorite. I’m in that dilemma....the BMW S1000RR is the all around bike with Comfort while the R6 and R1S are better in regards to bang for my buck! Plus insurance is killer in Michigan so that’s a factor. Great vids!
I agree, kinda. If your younger I wound't start on a liter. My first bike was a CBR1000RR but I started riding at 26. im 30 now and ride a Aprillia Rsv4 RR. And I think a lot of my success is from being older/more mature.
ap1986 started on a R6 at 19 years old my first set of tires had the biggest chicken strips you probably would have ever seen on a bike lol. I got into going to the track and riding with a group of guys I met there my 2nd year owning the bike and got more comfortable and learned how to REALLY ride. I'm 26 now and only upgraded to riding an R1 2 years ago , the biggest thing about starting on a supersport is respect and knowing your limits and resisting the urge of all that power that's there at just a small turn of your wrist. My advice to anyone starting on a supersport is take it slow and if you want to push it do it on the track in full gear instead of on the street. It's all about the risers mindset , a idiot on a 600 is going to be an idiot on a 250 - 300 the only difference will just be the speed he wipes out or crashes at.

Just casually doing 120mph to get onto the highway. If I did that here in Australia they'd throw me in jail and suspend me from driving for like 5 years. It's crazy how different speed laws are
Paused at 3:06 you summed up the excitement of the video right there. Reason being that outside of the new design and a few new parts that bike has the same exact motor at the previous models. So, to the viewers, if you cant afford the 2017 model get an older one they are exactly the same as far as power. Also, a lot of the points made could be negated if you just get a 636.
why are you not wearing full gear ? Like the jacket. You never know when things go wrong and I hope it never happen to you but you have to be cautious just in case.
Definitely an interesting comparison. If I had a trailer I'd love to collab on a "Decade of difference video" comparing my 06 FZ6/FZ1 to your R6/R1... I haven't tried a 'newer' bike with all the fancy tech but have often considered trading those two in for something new.
i bought a R1 without knowing to ride a motorcycle, my boy took it to my house from the dealer and that same day learned to ride it all morning and afternoon. same night took it to the gym and everyday since there ive learned how to lean and have throttle control. anyone can do it, you just cant be scared nor stupid
So the lack of low end torque isn't an issue in commuter traffic? I love the new R6 and want one badly. Just afraid that I will be disappointed. Almost half my commute is in the canyon. We do not get to ride very far on test rides here
idk. a sportbikes power is way high in the rev range , therefore if Ur carefull with the throttle i think u can start on a 600. i personnally am on a gsxr 750 as my first bike.(im 17) But i had ridden a 450 rmz for 2 years before. The 450 was more punishing if u fked up just cause the power was all down low.
I started on a 600 an I agree it was harder to learn an exactly like he said I got my self in trouble a few times with cracking the gas on roads I wasn’t familiar an then would smoke a pot hole
That would be terrible. It would be worse if he crashed and didn't die. The mutilation at that speed with no gear would be beyond messed up. Fortunately he isn't riding that crazy. Just a little hooning around.
My experience? I grew up riding every day and i owned the rockstore in the 80s on my gpz550 racing with my childhood friend chuck graves ...yeah..THAT Graves.
Riding small bikes fast is fun, but freaking sketchy haha. I had a 150cc scooter before my r6, and hands down my most frightening moment on a bike was taking a corner at only like 55 on the scooter with my suspension wallowing and bouncing, tires skipping, with a bus and a line of cars coming in the opposite lane :) nearly shat myself
never understood that statement... fast or slow bike at the same speed is equally fun, you can have more speed on a fast bike, and most of the time is more stable than a slow bike fast.
I get the track point that you made, my local track is Cadwell Park (Plenty of videos on here) and it is a tight and twisty circuit, I have only done a couple of track days in the novice group but the bike I had then was a STR (Street Triple R) and it was right on the tail of 1000cc bikes and had enough punch out of corners to keep them in sight on the short straights combined with the nimble handling to reel them in through the corners.... My MT-10 needs to go there and see what it can do.
My question to you is what dealerships would you recommend? All the dealership i have been to hear in San Antonio wont let you test ride supersports. The one and only I was able to test ride I had to go up to the Austin Triumph.
The R6 power band would be terrible for a new rider since it kicks like vtec up top, however I don't see a cbr 600rr being unmanageable for a new rider, thoughts ?
been riding since 1990's have just had a 10 year period without a bike and im back on a restricted 650 limited to about 50 horses and if anyone is considering riding a 600 sports bike as a first bike your nuts could i handle more sure but i also know it will take a good year before i should get up in the class bike i really want to be in so a cheep one to warm up for 12 months good thinking plenty of grunt on a smaller bike for the first year to warm up
video starts at 9:00
Thanks!
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks🤣
Thank you bro
Thx
Motonosity: "They have similar power"
Also Motonosity, in the very next breath: "Obviously a litre bike is going to have far, far more power"
😂
I hope he means power delivery. An inline four R6 delivers it's power and torque in almost the same spots throughout the rev range as an inline four R1, however with the R1 there is just more power and torque in those same spots. If that makes sense.
LOL.. my favorite one is obviously the R........ great way to end brother.. why choose when you can have both..
he was gonna say the r3 ;)
He means R.....XSG just reversed so he means The GSXR 1000 RRis best 🙂
Gotta respect Motonosity for not blurring out the speedo while going fast unlike other motovloggers.
I would have to disagree.

Oscar Goss big facts
I think the same way
Prior to buying your first bike did you have riding experience? Or did you buy it and teach yourself?
Monster Energy drinks are the best. I love the 2017 R6 too.
650ib I crash from monsters hard after an hour or two.
It's actually the man himself love you vids man....love them
I'm 16 and want to start riding as soon as I get a job I'm saying up to get a r3 for my first bike
650ib Dont drink f redbull you know thats in it?
I love me some the ultra sunrise baby

Because my uncle left me his Honda CBR1000rr when he died and I've maybe ridden a small bike once.

Base-Boosted Aleks that is the stupidest thing I've heard today. Congrats
I agree. MOTONOSITY, PUT ON A JACKET! I dont care if its leather or some vented textile aplinestar jacket... A shirt is not enough!
The r6 is fucking beautiful man ✌😉❤

Just bought myself the 05 R6 - loooooove it 😍
Am really liking the 2017 one man, glad you're enjoying it :)
I've ridden a scooter for 3 years do you think it would be appropiate to get an R6 now?
if you know how to ride a dirt bike or any bike with a clutch you should be fine
You should get a bus pass instead.
Don't touch the cocaïne again

MrSotko Gaming At those temperatures wearing a jacket will keep you cooler by keeping the sun and wind off your skin, but yeah, do mesh or textiles
The hottest I've been in is about 100f with humidity in full race perf leather is just bearable for me. I do have a short 30min commute, but a lot of lights. I'd rather drive or sweat than ride without gear.
Those leathers have hair.
I started on a Gsxr 600, perfectly fine took my time had no problem learning on it. You have to respect it and it’s power but never fear it.
I got the all black R6 4 days ago, loving it. I am installing a toce exhaust next week and got the graves fender eliminator installed last night XD. I'll get a quick shifter eventually... Glad you like yours man

Motonosity, I like the last statement...."I like the R-..." cliff hanger. Both good bikes. I would like them for different reasons too. My R6 gets me all giddy too, no Monster drinks needed. Good job on the video.
If Im not to start on a 600, is there a more than one cylinder 300cc bike. I hate the idea of one cylinder plus its bad sound.
I like the energy he's got in this video, keep it up nosity!
So the term Liter and CC, is that how much milk the engine will hold? By the way, you're wrong Motonosity. You can start off on a 600 or 1000, I started on the Enterprise.

Here in south africa if you have your license you begin with a 125 cc and than when you are older you can use the 600 cc or 1000 cc
Speaks on safety, not wearing a jacket... Do as I say, not as I do.
Lol.

were is the white Light for I really wonder why it is but if you ask me I think it means two thinks one you are probebly are doing something illigal and two you are having probebly wayy to mutch fun
Is 1000 or 4 in line? Size matters better handling? 4x50cc are equal to 250cc? Do you care? Have you tried dry clutches? Is it oil or the last litre? Taxes? It's steel, it's steril.
Alright question here.. if im coming from a Harley Sportster 1200 making 60hp and 73lbs of trq, which bike should I get? 600 or 1000?
I love the cut off at the end, that's awesome 😂. Good vid man 👍
i started on a gsxr600, no problem at all, first day i took it out downtown and the 2nd day into the highway. people make such a big deal to convince new riders that smaller bikes are the onlyway.
How warm it have to be that you wear those summer gloves Alpinestars Smx 2 ? Is +10 celcius too cold ? Thinking of buying those :)
Motonosity can you compare triumph daytona 675 to r6??? Becuase triumph have more torque, and as I heard it is very a sharp bike.
It's probably already pretty warm in Texas but those gloves aren't going to do shit for how much pain a fall would put you in.
It's not the weight off the 1000cc, it's wheelbase and you're farther back from the front tire. Thats what makes it harder to flick around.
I was taught to ride on my buddies GSXR 1000, learned to street ride as I'll call it on a 600 then bought a old Honda CBR929RR. But still rode with both of those two buddies on my bike to practice until I was good by myself. And we'll until the until with the 1000 deployed and I moved away from the busy with the 600. Moved away meaning moved to a different state.
That yellow light is the low fuel level...and that gives me anxiety. He just keeps riding around. I start searching for a petrol station as soon as it comes ip
im happy for you man sound happy with the new bike:)
Am I crazy or is an R6 the same dry weight as an R1? Reading the Wiki they both average around 390 lbs, dry.
in minutes 12.52, your yellow indicator lamp is on, what is that? overheating indicator??
he needs gas
ouu low fuel indicator (y)
My R1 got going so fast so quick that before I realized it, I was going 100+ mph. The R6 made me work harder to go fast and gave me time to think about the danger of going triple digit speeds.
Hello i'm riding a 150cc bike for almost 2 years. is it enough for me to ride a 600cc bike?
did it have a manual clutch
nope, go down to 80cc now, then 50cc until you pedal a bike
I started on a 125cc
But now i buy a 1000cc R1
Im 24 & from germany
When i get my bike license i wanna get a ninja 250r as a starter
@@kekwnerd9464 waste of money
@@86250r true... Changed my mind
I just got a yamaha and I am having the cold start issue. Now when I turn the gas a lil while turning the bike over the engine lights come on is that normal? One more thing, does your honda have the cold start tick a slight tick tell.its warm?
Motonosity is on one in this vid! No energy drink necessary.
Are you ok down there? just seen a bunch of bad weather hit TX.
Thank you motonosity... great vid.... i've been waiting for this... also loved how you ended the vid! lol
I ride a supermoto on the road for 5 years now and thinking of upgrade. Should I go for 600 or 1000??
I started on a 750 but i dont recommend it lol had a couple 1000ccs and I fkng love them. picking up a R1 this weekend fingers crossed!
How'd it go?
WOOOH!!!! @1:07 !!! U R TEARING IT UP!!!! YAAASSSS!!! LOVE. IT!
LOL I LOVE UR VOICE AND EXCITEMENT! IM A HONDA RIDER THOUGH SO BOO YOU LOL HAHAHAA. LOL TO EACH HIS/HER OWN!
NOPE, I STARTED ON A 300cc CUZ I VALUE MY LIFE AND MY BIKE AND I DONT WANNA CRASH AND BUST UP EITHER ONE LOL
@12:51 -_-SMH WHAT THE WHAT DID HE JUST SAY!?!! **UNLIKES AND EXITS OUT OF VIDEO **
that gas light!! i kept looking at the gas stations you were passing. I wouldn't mind having a 1000 but i do love my R6. I'm really thinking about up grading to the new one.. decisions decisions hmm.
R6_Brodie i had a 2008 r6 i traded in for this, best desicion i ever made.
I'm on the fence man..i don't know if i should or shouldn't. mine is a 2015 with about 3700 miles on it. its paid off it still looks good lol i like both body style. i want to ride one before i really make my decision if i can. what is keeps me from going to the dealership tomorrow for one is that its pretty much the same bike with a new fairing design and yes some upgrade here and there. i just don't know if i should.
R6_Brodie i just love the design of the bike and the small tweaks make a suprisingly big difference. Also love all the electronic/abs but honestly if you already have a prev r6 id only get this if you love the design.
i may just flip a coin haha but really i might end up getting it. i want two bikes. i was thinking of getting a grom to just cruise around on. and of course have the R6 for more faster, twisties, long group ride days. I'm going to go check them out this weekend.
You’re killing me smalls!!!!! You cut off just as you’re saying which is your favorite. I’m in that dilemma....the BMW S1000RR is the all around bike with Comfort while the R6 and R1S are better in regards to bang for my buck! Plus insurance is killer in Michigan so that’s a factor. Great vids!
Failed to mention insurance cost for the two. I upgraded to the Speed Triple from the Street Triple R and I pay double what I used to.
I agree, kinda. If your younger I wound't start on a liter. My first bike was a CBR1000RR but I started riding at 26. im 30 now and ride a Aprillia Rsv4 RR. And I think a lot of my success is from being older/more mature.
ap1986 started on a R6 at 19 years old my first set of tires had the biggest chicken strips you probably would have ever seen on a bike lol. I got into going to the track and riding with a group of guys I met there my 2nd year owning the bike and got more comfortable and learned how to REALLY ride. I'm 26 now and only upgraded to riding an R1 2 years ago , the biggest thing about starting on a supersport is respect and knowing your limits and resisting the urge of all that power that's there at just a small turn of your wrist. My advice to anyone starting on a supersport is take it slow and if you want to push it do it on the track in full gear instead of on the street. It's all about the risers mindset , a idiot on a 600 is going to be an idiot on a 250 - 300 the only difference will just be the speed he wipes out or crashes at.

If you start with a 125 at a age of 16 and you ride an r6 with 18 but with 48hp and with 20 the full power, that should be fine shouldnt it?
Just casually doing 120mph to get onto the highway. If I did that here in Australia they'd throw me in jail and suspend me from driving for like 5 years. It's crazy how different speed laws are
Paused at 3:06 you summed up the excitement of the video right there. Reason being that outside of the new design and a few new parts that bike has the same exact motor at the previous models.
So, to the viewers, if you cant afford the 2017 model get an older one they are exactly the same as far as power.
Also, a lot of the points made could be negated if you just get a 636.
Big fan man! Keep up the videos!👍🏼
Ire so sad being so in Love with a bike and not being able to afford one
Axel Garcia i feel you bro
There’s always next year lol but I’m in the same boat been about 8 years since I had a bike hopefully getting one in 2019 saving up haha
MV Augusta Brutale Dragster 800 R 🤤
Two years later. Did you finally get a bike?
very helpful, been looking to purchase, think I will go with the 600 now, Thanks a lot - cool Vid
If I'm not mistaking you can a adjust the suspension to fit your height and weight on a bike also. Just my thought.
The only reason I have to start on a 600cc or 1000cc is primarily based on necessity because I don't fit on a 250cc or a 300cc.
How do you get used to the riding position on super sport bikes? I feel like I'm laying down whenever I get on one.
why are you not wearing full gear ? Like the jacket. You never know when things go wrong and I hope it never happen to you but you have to be cautious just in case.
Definitely an interesting comparison. If I had a trailer I'd love to collab on a "Decade of difference video" comparing my 06 FZ6/FZ1 to your R6/R1... I haven't tried a 'newer' bike with all the fancy tech but have often considered trading those two in for something new.
Good vlog buddy..Glad you got the cold start issue fixed.
what is that orange light on the dash after 13 minutes?
Fuel light
Can you go to a dealer and " just ride " whatever bike you want, or am I missing something here?
i bought a R1 without knowing to ride a motorcycle, my boy took it to my house from the dealer and that same day learned to ride it all morning and afternoon. same night took it to the gym and everyday since there ive learned how to lean and have throttle control. anyone can do it, you just cant be scared nor stupid
So the lack of low end torque isn't an issue in commuter traffic? I love the new R6 and want one badly. Just afraid that I will be disappointed. Almost half my commute is in the canyon. We do not get to ride very far on test rides here
I love those people who comment on every video that the video starts at **:** time
Would you recomend the r6 as a good bike from someone transferring from cruisers
idk. a sportbikes power is way high in the rev range , therefore if Ur carefull with the throttle i think u can start on a 600. i personnally am on a gsxr 750 as my first bike.(im 17) But i had ridden a 450 rmz for 2 years before. The 450 was more punishing if u fked up just cause the power was all down low.
I started on a 600 an I agree it was harder to learn an exactly like he said I got my self in trouble a few times with cracking the gas on roads I wasn’t familiar an then would smoke a pot hole
Should you be riding when you are so tired ....?
Yo! Squidding it huh? Especially going 100mph
If he crashed, odds are he is dead regardless of gear choice.
Aulric 27 I just want him to be safe! Also he has a kid coming soon too! That would really sucked if he died!
That would be terrible. It would be worse if he crashed and didn't die. The mutilation at that speed with no gear would be beyond messed up. Fortunately he isn't riding that crazy. Just a little hooning around.
Aulric 27, dress for the slide not for the ride.
In switzerland with 16 years i started with a 50cc an with 18 years im wondering if i shoud get a 600 or 1000
My experience? I grew up riding every day and i owned the rockstore in the 80s on my gpz550 racing with my childhood friend chuck graves ...yeah..THAT Graves.
'It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast that to ride a fast bike slow.'
Riding small bikes fast is fun, but freaking sketchy haha. I had a 150cc scooter before my r6, and hands down my most frightening moment on a bike was taking a corner at only like 55 on the scooter with my suspension wallowing and bouncing, tires skipping, with a bus and a line of cars coming in the opposite lane :) nearly shat myself
Jeremy Johnson best comment
never understood that statement... fast or slow bike at the same speed is equally fun, you can have more speed on a fast bike, and most of the time is more stable than a slow bike fast.
I can definitely hear the ENERGY DRINK in ur voice 😂😂😂
I'm sure road rash from a 120mph crash in a t-shirt would feel great. Or, should I say grate?
Motonosity is hyped asf😂😂
I get the track point that you made, my local track is Cadwell Park (Plenty of videos on here) and it is a tight and twisty circuit, I have only done a couple of track days in the novice group but the bike I had then was a STR (Street Triple R) and it was right on the tail of 1000cc bikes and had enough punch out of corners to keep them in sight on the short straights combined with the nimble handling to reel them in through the corners.... My MT-10 needs to go there and see what it can do.
why don't you use a race suit or similar in the road?
My question to you is what dealerships would you recommend? All the dealership i have been to hear in San Antonio wont let you test ride supersports. The one and only I was able to test ride I had to go up to the Austin Triumph.
I've got a cbr 125 and been riding for 2 years looking to get a bigger bike but unsure what cc to look at and what style bike to get
Go to a dealership if you can and ride different ones :)
From you thoughts zx10r or Ducati 959 which one should I get
The R6 power band would be terrible for a new rider since it kicks like vtec up top, however I don't see a cbr 600rr being unmanageable for a new rider, thoughts ?
Ontario... non stop construction... could t imagine riding along the QEW or 401/403 since leaving for BC
been riding since 1990's have just had a 10 year period without a bike and im back on a restricted 650 limited to about 50 horses and if anyone is considering riding a 600 sports bike as a first bike your nuts could i handle more sure but i also know it will take a good year before i should get up in the class bike i really want to be in so a cheep one to warm up for 12 months good thinking plenty of grunt on a smaller bike for the first year to warm up
i dont have a bike yet, but i would like to start on an r6. my reasons are I like speed lol, AND I dont have the money to upgrade eventually.
