    I had a CBR600FX which was the older gen bike of what you picked. I used to do clutch-less up-shifts without a problem for maximum acceleration. The handling was great and that made it safe to ride fast IMHO. Speed plenty fast enough, but had to get the revs up which could require a lot of down shifting for say overtaking. And this kind of bike makes you want to ride at high speed to get the thrills. The more upright bikes likely have more low down torque and wind pressure to give a good acceleration and sensation of speed at legal road speeds. My favourite bike out of the many that I owned.

  • @andyfairchild2383
    @andyfairchild2383 5 років тому +1

    Good choice Paul! I’d have gone for the Blade or Africa Twin, but I’ve been riding for 30 years. As a new rider the 650 is spot on.
    I’m still not sure about DCT on a bike though. My last two cars have been dual clutch and I love it, but I remain to be convinced of its value on a bike. I don’t use a bike to commute, just a weekend toy so perhaps it’s of less value to me.

  • @Baleur
    @Baleur 2 роки тому +1

    The constant fawning over the automatic gearbox makes me wonder why ride a motorcycle at all, if you just want it to slowly become a self-driving Tesla. Using the clutch and shifting gears is part of the experience, part of the endless curve of personal improvement as a rider, same as when driving a car with a manual.
    Choosing an automatic is like saying "i dont want to learn to feel the full experience of the machine, i want the half experience because its easier".

    My first bike was a GSXR 750. I say go for one of those. 750 is the best of both worlds. It has more power than the 600s, but it's not as powerful as the liter bikes. So you're less likely to kill yourself while being new.
    I did ride dirt bikes my whole life before buying that bike though. So i wasn't some fresh fish going straight to the GSXR 750.
