Originally, I thought the guy was an idiot but toward the end of the video, I changed my mind about him. The fact that he went on three track days tells me he's learning a lot.
Exactly. Willing to learn, talks to the experts and listens, plus 11K miles on that bike and it didn't look like there was much damage, so he must have kept his cool. And to be honest, I see 15+ year old bikes for sale with less miles, from guys that have only had that 1 bike. "I've been riding for 15 years", yeah, 5 sunny day rides a year and that's it. At least this guy bought a bike and actually rode it and got the experience. I put over 10K miles on in my first year of riding, rain or shine. It helps.
No way in the world should a liter bike be anyone's 1st bike... Nowadays with all the rider aids these bikes are 1 flip of the switch away from full on 200hp... The bike manufacturers can sell a liter bike that rides like a 600cc "click" it's now a 750cc "click" now it's a 1000cc all with traction control, abs, anti-wheelie, etc... Unfortunately a lot of riders have fooled themselves into thinking there is a shortcut in this sport... Sadly no such thing exist... Experience is everything in this sport.
@@gixxer750cc I do agree with you 110%, but once in a while you get a rider that might be lucky enough to not get killed riding a bike like this as his first bike. The sales guy who sold him this bike will pay for it in karma.
@@gixxer750cc I agree that it's well overpowered and for most folks it's overkill at first. I know I wouldn't be comfortable. But this guy seems to have it under control and he's put more than 10k miles on the bike, so it's not that he's without experience. Or willingness to learn, as the video showed. A saving grace for the modern ride by wire bikes is that many have a few different riding modes that allow one to "grow into the bike" a little more gently. But still, I do agree with not recommending starters to go out and buy a jacked up liter bike. :)
Bike goes as fast, as the electronics allow. Up to 80mph you don't need more than 120hp. Look at the 0-60 times from the first r1 and now the 200hp one. A friend chopped a r1250rs with his falco with luggage on it. The driver was really good, but 145nm does bring you nothing when you can't get them on the road or the ectronics block them.
Dude is humble and obviously all in with his new hobby. I see nothing wrong with a liter bike for a first bike, providing one is capable of self control and learning. It’s all about how much throttle. Take it easy and don’t outride your abilities on any bike. I’ve watched lots of 600 and smaller bikes go down while being “first bike”.
It is all about disposition and humility. This rider has both and is reaping the rewards and getting better via riding within his means and gaining more and more experience and along the way - the right information to broaden his knowledge.
To be fair he had 3k miles on it then put 11k miles in 3 months, he got some good mileage in for that bike for sure. I just started riding earlier this year and put in 5k miles into a 250 before going to a 600
maybe he got a good mind program. opens throttle up to where he feels safe . he seems the type of guy who plays safe uses his upper head instead of the lower one , like many here. so what if he got for fisrt bike with 200 hp? any poptard here thought he might be using just 30% of it and when he feels safe ads +5% every 5 months or when he feels it? "starter bike " lol. many people buy " starter bikes " crash after 5 months and die. other people go straight to 1000cc and dont get a scratch ever because they use their heads. lol.
atakan yabanci that’s not entirely true. He can learn much easier but faster depends on the person if they’re willing to listen and apply what they learn rather than self testing
You learn more of the fundamentals riding a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. The s1krr is the fastest road legal machine out there and makes zero sense as a starter bike. Sure he made it work, but that doesn’t mean it was the best way.
Ha, I thought I was taking a big leap when at about 14, I went from a 5hp mini-bike, to a 250cc dirt bike. At least he seems to have a level head on his shoulders, listens to Dave, and probably isn't doing 180mph midnight runs down the freeway!
He rides well within his experience and most importantly, is willing to listen. He is becoming a good rider with time and leveraging understanding via experience.
@@catalystreactionsbw Good points Dave, or Dave, (ha), he proves it can be done, (not recommended, of course), and most likely realizes the potential for a machine like this to fling you off into space. By listening, learning & riding; over & over, he may become a better rider than many in a fairly short time period.
In two minds over this. He is seeking the right advice, has the right gear and seems to be an intelligent and controlled person. The RR can be docile if you are careful and has to shelf electronic aids. While I thought my sv650 was too much as a first bike, for the first month, jumping to an s1000r after 14 months and about 16000km incl a few track days was not intimidating - but just applied the caution I applied when learning to fly light aircraft. I think the s1000 is too much for a “never ridden a bike before” novice but would be doable if and only if you have some control and self restraint. Ride it above your skill level and it get you to lethal speeds stupidly quick. Depends on attitude at the end of the day
Same in the UK... the point I suppose is not that you can't get a 1000 as your first bike in any particular country, the point is why would you want to? it's a bit like wearing your underpants on your head... yes, you can go out of the house like that, but people are going to treat you like a nutjob... and not in a good way
Good on him, putting in the work on the track, getting good advice. Would i have started on a s1k hell no. His money his choice :). Excellent video again
I've been ridding for over 40 years now. I've had about 20 bikes to day, every thing for a 500 Triple 2 Stroke to a S1000RR. I've been a been MotoRef ATOC, knee dragger up on Hwy 9 etc. I went and did a track day for my newb friend. He was faster then me on the track. Overweight, He had a IQ over 150. Go figure. Triple
@CraZy Jay you make to many assumptions. I ride my bike with plessure and learning every year more and pushing my limits. But i also know im not Rossi. One thing i agree is that you shouldnt buy a sportbike to ride like a cruiser. Made nearly 45000 km with it and ride about 250 days a year.
@CraZy Jay lol man is dragging the knee so important for you?does it make you feel special and cool ??? drifting ? so anyone with a sportbike MUST drift and drag a knee at corners? lol. i see a lot of ''fast riders'' on my track days that drag a knee . they come out all swetty and tired to death. you know what the final outcome is ? me faster than them by a hole second in every lap without dragging a knee im guessing you are over 55 degrees lean so dragging a knee is a must? lol . unbelievable
@CraZy Jay lmao "100% within one month it will have hit the ground" Then proceeds to say "OH YEAH You aren't riding it correctly if it hasnt hit the ground" OLOLOLOL!!!
1:10 Dave's like "ya yaa c'mon with it, stop beating around the bush". "This your 1st bike??? "Lol 2:50 now he's prob like "You're riding without knowing that stuff??" haha. I bet Dave sees n hears some weird stuff dealing with so many people. 3:40 he's like me, not sure what we're supposed to be feeling. 3:55 "much better" with Dave gloating a lil bit hahahaha. I bet it's great getting so much positive feedback and kudos for a man's knowledge and skill. Great many accolades to Dave.
I'm glad the new rider didn't succumb to the allure of power and speed, as is so easy to do. There is, however, something to be said for a new rider to start small and learn the zen of riding, rather than learn the zen of power initially. Props to Dave for his caring professionalism, and not talking to someone as though he was an idiot.
When is next time your coming to the bay area. Mountain View is about 15 drive where I live in redwood city. Also which track are you on. I'm a new rider trying to get some track time!!!!
I wonder what his tire pressure were before he started? As I still haven’t wrapped my head around tire pressure and why it’s important on Track days I put in 36F & 34R before I ride out on weekends. I can’t wait to do a track day but I want to understand as much as possible before I do go.
My first bike is a CBR 1000 with nitrous a power commander and a full Yoshi exhaust but I have respect for the machine my ride within my limits I’m also 37 with kids I just like to cruse 80 I’m not acting a fool on the roads but would also like to say it’s more fun to ride a slow bike fast rather than a fast bike slow
You can also die on a bicycle...the availability of power does not dictate the way you use the power..Having said that somehow I feel this is safer than a middleweight without all the safety gizmos. Respect to this person though because he takes all the necessary steps to become a better rider, most of us can learn from this.
Dave, I have a brand new (500 Miles at the time of posting this) 2018 GSX-R 1000R. I only ride street now, but am looking to get in to track days next year. I live in ILLINOIS. Can you help me to setup my bike over the phone? It feels a bit stiff in the front. No wheelies, I'm almost 40 so I ride fairly conservatively.
Yes, that is why I developed Remote Tuning. Please email me dave@davemosstuning.com for more information using remote tuning in th subject line. Thanks!
The BMW dealership salesman who sold him the bike wants to thank their conscience(sorry they obviously dont have one) that the guys a mature enough person not to go nuts on the road with all that power and kill himself..Well done to the rider for doing track days to gain experience and confidence and for seeking out DM as a guide to help set the bike up for him. First bike????Jeeez....Just because you can...doesnt mean you should. Hope he continues to gain experience and stays safe.
This is my first bike, lol... Hopefully he won't be eliminated through the law of natural selection, wow, lived through 3 track days, maybe there is hope.
I did a track day and this sub-20 year old turned up on a brand spanking new R6. Nice kid and very eager to learn. Had every trick option/accessory. Put the bike down every session, and had to be shown how to wheel it. Scariest bit was he would hammer it on the very short straight (for those that have ridden Sydney Motorsport Park’s South Circuit, they will know it as the straight after the climbing left in front of the pits) and even the quicker litre bikes were reluctant to punch past out concern he would go quicker and mess the braking for the slow left up. A few older people chatted to him and suggested he needed to start on an R3, and the school threw some 1:1 coaching resources at him. He was not a dick of a kid - quiet respectful kid very eager to learn but I am guessing had little experience driving or riding. Lucky he suffered no injuries but the bike sustained damage - I am guessing money as not an issue for him.
I don’t know why people get so up in arms and triggered by big first time bikes. I know I could handle it and plenty of people could. It’s kinda dumb, my opinion is they are just jealous.
My first was also this S1KRR, exactly the same color. Never had a problem with it. All the safety settings were on MAX. I did 14000 km on it. Mostly ride by the rules. Max. Speed i did was 180 km/h on highway. Everyone can start on litre bikes if they follow the speed limit.
Shame on the dealer for selling him such a bike. Luckily it seems like this guy has a pretty good head on his shoulders, hopefully he can keep it that way as he progresses.
Dealers really aren't supposed to question your purchases. They can persuade you into something else. Look at the Bikes and Beards go. I'm sure he walked in confidentially and said this one with cash in hand.
VERY few riders ask about how long knee pucks last. They just burn them up and take pride in that. I test brands for longevity and feel yo get the best value I can.
Look at his tires. Its his first bike and it sounds like he's been riding for less then a year but he's using his entire rear tire, and he's put over 11k miles on it. I don't know this guy, but it seems like he's done more in his first year then some people learn in 5+ years of riding. You can tell he's not getting on the gas hard, but good for him. I'm sure there are people passing him on 600's and its a handful of a bike for a first bike, but I guarantee he's faster on that s1000 right now then a lot of lifetime riders are that only ride on the street.
@@cody9919 great observation and point you made. I agree. 11,000 miles is a good amount of riding in less than 1 year. Some people just got it and some people dont. All the best to him
@@cody9919 Yup, good catch and he had enough brains to go to Dave and get professional help instead of relying on ego to get him through. Like you said lots of mile and this is his 3rd track day in as many months - ahh to have that moola 🤑
hahhahah i will tell him sell the BMW and get a 400 or 650cc Kawasaki..and for the rest of money you can make a lot of track day's and even get in Holiday. after 3-4 year's try that 1000rr and if you like it ..buy it.

A rr is not a first bike, and he will learn far more and enjoy himself better if he'd got something like a 600/650.
Or 300cc up tier(if suitable on his height).
Lol my first bike had 26 horsepower
👍👀🇭🇷
It is not normal first bike🤣🤣
Look at all these experts here. U can start on any bike so long you have self control. Clearly not your guys strong points lmao
This guy is weird AF
It is a safe bike , the problem is only in the head of the rider.
Exactly!
No friggin way that guy handles that bike the way it should. I wouldn't be surprised if 600cc bikes are flying by him. Good luck
Look at his tires. Its his first bike and it sounds like he's been riding for less then a year but he's using his entire rear tire, and he's put over 11k miles on it. I don't know this guy, but it seems like he's done more in his first year then some people learn in 5+ years of riding. You can tell he's not getting on the gas hard, but good for him. I'm sure there are people passing him on 600's and its a handful of a bike for a first bike, but I guarantee he's faster on that s1000 right now then a lot of lifetime riders are that only ride on the street.
@@cody9919 great observation and point you made. I agree. 11,000 miles is a good amount of riding in less than 1 year. Some people just got it and some people dont. All the best to him
@@PeteyPipes32 word! Yeah i'd say he's the 1% exception to this common scenario :p
@@cody9919 Yup, good catch and he had enough brains to go to Dave and get professional help instead of relying on ego to get him through. Like you said lots of mile and this is his 3rd track day in as many months - ahh to have that moola 🤑
PeteyPipes32 exactly!
hahhahah i will tell him sell the BMW and get a 400 or 650cc Kawasaki..and for the rest of money you can make a lot of track day's and even get in Holiday.
after 3-4 year's try that 1000rr and if you like it ..buy it.
