Please note that I haven't ridden a bike in 12 years and I had to learn the ropes again as well as get used to handling the bike itself. I'm riding with much more confidence now, after 2500km on the bike and I learned a lot, so you can expect much better riding in my upcoming videos. I wanted to capture the moment with this video and I hope you like it. Thank you! :)
Congratulations on your new bike , she's a beauty. I'm looking at getting the same bike. One tip I always follow. Always make sure the tires are up to temperature to ensure good grip. Especially in the rain. :)
@@StanielBG I hope you got my point that you need to warm up the tires before any aggressive riding. The TPMS monitors tire pressure but I would still check tire pressure with a good gauge every week at a minimum. I do it so often that I can actually feel a difference with my fingers on a cold tire. Trie pressure and getting the rubber to the right temperature is SUPER IMPORTANT. Best H.
@@howardpollack6485 Yes I've been introduced to that information, that's why I went that far as to buy and install a TPMS so I can have a more precise monitoring of tire condition. :)
Congratulations on your new toy 👏🏾👍🏾👌🏾. This video reminded me of a friend. Three of us went to a motorcycle training school, got the license, and one friend on the same week bought a brand new Yamaha R6 here in Massachusetts USA. We were laughing because he told the story of how he kept stalling the motorcycle in the middle of rush hour traffic. People kept beeping the horn, this was back in 2009 he has since upgraded to 1000CC.
@@abt1337 Yeah I waited around 6 months as well for mine. Purchased it August 2023, got it in the end of February 2024. At this point I can say for sure, it was a great choice! I'm very happy with it! Its awesome to ride and I ride it as much as possible! Since I uploaded this video I've ridden more than 600km. :)
I'm still no rider (want to get a license) so I don't understand one thing I always see in Pov riding videos. Why does the handlebar look perfectly straight when doing a "zigzag"? Is it a illusion of the video?
@@PolPingo On sport bikes you turn more using leaning rather than turning the handlebars. It's because the bike is heavier and the turn radius is bigger. If you check other bikes for example nakeds or adventure bikes you can see the difference. They have much smaller turn radius with wider handlebars and you can make sharper turns with them. Also the front fork has smaller angle towards the road. When you ride fast you can't turn a lot on any bike, the difference is more visible when you ride slow. For zigzag motion you don't need much movement from the handlebars, you need just enough to throw the bike off balance and then return it straight or throw it in the other side, the movements are quick. You'll get it as soon as you start riding. :)
@@StanielBG Ngl it seems hard but I've never tried it. Considering that my plan is to get a sport-looking bike as first bike (I know, isn't the best, but I follow my heart), I hope to learn fast. I watched your video just because CBR650R and the Ninja 650 are on my list. I know that this bike might be too powerful for a newbie, but my plan is to get one and keep it for a long time
@@PolPingo it's actually perfect for new riders. It will move as fast as you push it to move. It's a bit on the heavy side, but it's surprisingly easy to get used to it. I suggest, start like me, first 500-1000km ride it slow, ride it progressively, get used to it. It's not that scary or that difficult to get the feeling of it. The most important part in my opinion is never to panic when something happens and to learn all the safety tips for the road and in the traffic. When you get used to it you will relax naturally and ride it however you like. I've had only one scary situation for all the 8000km I have currently, and I handled it perfectly because I was prepared for it. The bike also has safety features like ABS and Traction Control which gives you additional protection. :)
@@StanielBG No yeah I'll definitely take it slow, for 1 year or 2 at least. Idk if I'll get this bike or the ninja 650 (or another bike), but safety features are surely my number 1 priority, especially where I live. In sicily the volcano Etna sometimes erupt and the ashes come all the way to the city, covering the street and making it slightly slippery and dangerous, even if you walk. So at least Abs is a must
What made you choose this bike over something like the Aprilia RS660 for example? Im on the fence about getting this bike with the new E clutch, or the RS660 or a 2nd hand 1100cc Aprilia $v Tuono, they all cost roughly the same here where I live. I just cant choose.
The comfort, the power, the reliability and the looks, as well as the price. It's basically my dream bike, but I found out about it last year. Originally I was a huge fan of the 2012 CBR 600RR but since then I lost track of the models and wanted to buy a brand new bike so I went with this one. I'm more than happy with it, it surpassed all my expectations. PS: It also has a Traction Control and ABS, they have saved me twice already, in slippery situations.
Yes, if you have passed the courses successfully and you got the license recently, the experience and the knowledge should be fresh enough for this bike. You just need to get used to the weight and the handling, but overall it's pretty easy to ride and a very comfortable bike. Maybe if you get it, try doing some exercises in a parking lot with slow speed maneuvers to get comfortable with it. I'm also somewhat a beginner since I haven't ridden a bike in like 12 years and I have never before ridden a bike of this weight and engine power. :)
@@2LaftsonStudiosTM probably the weight and the factory tires. It's a bit heavier than other equivalent bikes and the tires aren't very good. I already did around 9000km with this tires and they are slippery and a bit hard. With full throttle in second gear the bike drifts and the traction control flashes on dry tarmac. Other than that, the bike is awesome, I love it! :)
@@bhargavkathiriya870 it's the stock exhaust for which there are a lot of videos already. But I'll upload some videos with my upgrades and a review at 10000km. :)
@@mist.5272 I'm 182cm and I can say that the only discomfort that I feel after a long ride is in my back. Compared to other sport bikes this one is very well balanced in sports feel and comfort. Yesterday I did 12 hours ride from Thessaloniki, Greece to Plovdiv, Bulgaria and I only have slight pain in the back. It depends on how you ride as well, if I push it in corners too much I tend to get tired much faster and my legs hurt as well after a couple of hours of riding.
i,m 168 and i can ride for hours witnout feeling any back pain, if i ride it for the second day in row i start feeling the backpain i hope it helps next summer i’l buy mine ❤️
@@motomc6962 "You're totally right. I apologize for the inconvenience my motorcycle causes you. I'll see if I can replace the engine with a hamster wheel for a smoother ride."
I've been told that the timing of the engine changes in high RPM so the vibrations are unavoidable. But if you speak about vibrations on the handles, it doesn't have those. The suspension does a good job, but still it depends a lot on what surface you are riding. For example here in Plovdiv we have a lot of paved road, so it is natural that on this type of road the motorcycle turns into a huge vibrator. :D

Здравей, поздравления за мотора, аз току що записах А категория и днес ми беше първото каране :D Клипът е със страхотно качество, с каква камера снимаш?
Успех на курса! Иначе камерата е GoPro 11, но това беше първото видео, което заснех и още нямах много опит. Сега съм надградил с външен микрофон в каската включен към media mod-а на GoPro и ND филтър за лек motion blur и подобрени цветове. Та новите видеа, които в момента обработвам и ще кача в бъдеще, ще са с още по-добро качество. :)
I'm trying to keep it under 6000 revolutions per minute. I even set the shift point to start blinking at that revolutions for now, so it helps. I need to get used to the sensitive throttle and I'm trying to be gentle with it. :)
Took me around 200km with it to get used to the weight and everything. I was really careful in the beginning and on this video it shows. On the next video I'm about to upload (having 900km on the bike), there is a huge difference on how I operate it. :)
That’s great I guess everyone starts the same but I am a firm believer that when people are new they should be limited to 300cc max. But every country has different laws I guess. As long as you are sensible and and taking your time then it’s fine
@@babinsloan5680 believe me, I feel the same after 9000km on the bike. But in the beginning I was very careful and wanted to learn the handling, that's why I was riding it on higher gear and slower.
Since I had no experience with the bike, I tried to mitigate some of its power by riding in higher gear. It's actually working pretty well if you are a beginner rider. :)
Thats not very wise. Why rev up the engine when you don’t need to? 3500 rpm is more than enough to change to 2nd, you are wearing the engine unnecessarily.

Mine doesn't have one, but in my opinion it is worth it only if you are complete beginner or have to do a long city commutes with a lot of stops.
