      That is dumb, when you know and respect the power you are safest. That and yrs of experience riding. Been riding 40 plus yrs dirt then street, fear kills. Knowing your limits and not riding beyond them or even really pushing them except on track makes you safe. Best thing for newbies is track time where you can safely improve and find your limits and bikes. Streets are wrong place for pushing any limits. Unless you like dying. List to.many new riders to streets do to lack.of experience, many as new riders learning on streets not like many of us older survivors. Got skills in dirt whete it is safer. Had 8 yrs dirt bikes before the street. I reacted without even thinking on streets cause i was 100% comfortable riding before i faced traffic and cars. First panic stop or avoidance you better know what to do on instinct, no time to think just do. Good luck to all new riders be safe and live long so you can enjoy the ride.😊

    Watching this video is super enjoyable to see different perspectives, my first bike was 2007 R1. I do motocross, so riding 450cc dirtbikes for pretty much 4+ years gave me the confidence to get on a litre bike. I of course DO NOT recommend doing that because no one has the same personal experience, amazing video to give advice to any new riders.

    • @MedusaMoto
      @MedusaMoto  Рік тому +2

      @camdenp0924 Рік тому +5

      @@MedusaMoto The dirt to road change definitely threw me off as I expected it to be relatively the same and it wasn't very similar, but what gave me so much confidence in my riding is that I had that prior experience riding powerful bikes, that my turning, handling, and just overall comfortability on the bike was above average. The power was the first thing I noticed though when stepping on the street for the first time. The position as well really threw me a curveball as going from the upright seated position to the bent over position was difficult. I've been riding street now for probably 9 months and have only dropped the bike 3 times. I think what really sets the dirt and road experience apart is the other people on the road, on the track you are with other people who know what is around them and know how to avoid you to get by, but the people on the road are either oblivious or like you said: simply don't care enough to pay attention to us. And the power difference honestly was not as severe as I was expecting, I limit myself of course but knowing I rode 450cc bikes, I knew a 600cc wouldn't satisfy me but with that being said I ride my 1k like its a 600, not using all the power (most of the time anyway) and staying safe to allow myself to enjoy the bike and its entirety. Hope this helped, I can answer any more questions you may have as well !!

      This is a bit old but as long as you don't hammer it north of like 7k rpm it shouldn't be much of a handful. The one nice thing about 600s is you dont hit their peak power until like 14-15k rpm which gives a lot of wiggle room. Liter bikes you're just fucked all around 😂

    Bikes don't have a big enough magnetic signature to make the traffic lights change. If you roll your back tire to the line, it leaves plenty of room for a car to get close enough to trigger it. Coax them if you have to. It might surprise you how many people are hesitant to get too close at a light. We bikers can be somewhat touchy about being crowded.

The Navy even provides the course for free as well as an advanced course and you have to get a refresher every few years. People do crash generally coming back from a deployment since it's just been a while.

    I was out a few days ago. One of our new rider's friends just got a 2017 ZX636 KTR in ghost white with reflective green trim. We raced across the Gandy bridge He got the jump on me, fortunately, the bridge is 3 miles long or so. I barely ran him down. When we got onto I-75 My extra cc's paid for themselves. we had to ditch FHP, and darted onto my garage. 10 min later the chopper flew by. I live backed up to the interstate. they were not happy with the 5 of us blasting 150mph. To be fair the road was almost empty at 2am

I can’t even imagine the power difference 😅 Since I left there I’ve been watching videos like yours and realize I’m not the only one who felt like this lol I’m just gonna have to pull the trigger and get one!

      ooo i see! yah i agree it is extremely manageable if you really trust and respect it. but that fast traffic is such a dream haha. here in the US, esp in NY you can’t open it up like that. you can but just short stretches

    I'm thinking about getting one of these should be interesting considering the fact that I've never ridden a motorcycle a day in my life unless of course you were counting a four-wheeler which I doubt.

    truly takes some balls to start on a 130 hp bike. The Ninja 650 and Yamaha MT07 are considered beginner friendly and they're roughly 70 hp lol.
