Go for it CycleCruza! You are definitely an experienced rider and always riding safe. Plus you're getting it for all the right reasons. CycleCruza, go complete the CBR family!
In the end either of those bikes should be pretty stellar, so go with what you want. I think anyone who doesn't want you to get a 1000cc is jelly. Out if all the riders I see, you seem to be one of the more safety oriented / less speeding everywhere. If I was in your position I'd do the same thing too. Especially now that you're feeling ready for it as opposed to the first time you sold your bike. Looking forward to the comparisons to come though, should be great!
You are awesome to get a liter bike even after the fact you feel you didn't need one. Got to admit I couldn't believe it when you said it and made me laugh lol, but I'm looking forward to your new vids with the CBR 1000 DOUBLE RR!
jetfuel545 less time exposed in the wrong lane passing a row of semis is always good, more rotating mass and low end torque reduces your chances of stalling with a cage behind you the power a liter bike won't bite you in the ass unless you are a moron, in 6th gear at 65 on dry roads you can hammer the throttle with no wheelspin, no wheelie, no drama i hate bikes without sight glasses. if the suspension is dialed in and the geometry is designed right no bike needs a steering damper.
i started on a 08 zx10, been riding it since this April. it is NOT to much for the streets, i can push it more than what it wants to give, and i got 8000 miles on it so far !
Sounds exciting bro hope you go for it, it will be interesting. A liter bike can be enjoyed just as much as a 600 it's not always about using all of your power. It's about the rider and what makes you feel good when you ride and a new ride always puts a smile on your face.
I feel like whenever anyone is talking about something they're going to do they wind up sounding like they're trying to convince everyone including themselves that its a good idea. To me it boils down to a few simple questions: 1) Do you want to? 2) Can you? 3) Can you live with the responsibilities that that decision entails? Sounds to me like you got check marks on all of those! Go be you! No need for reasons. Have fun on your new bike! I look forward to your thoughts on it. Ride safe.
I'm sure you'll agree now the new Blade is simply exquisite! I remember a quote from a review. "liter bike for dummies" It'll be hard to explain how magnificent it is. It's not violent, intimidating, or overwhelming like other liter bikes. You'll have your hands full getting those points across to your viewers, and manufacturer specific fanboys will never understand! The Honda isn't the best, but there is no substitute!
When it comes to the total package for the street riding I say Honda is the best. Who makes a better supersport for street riding? kawi no, yamaha no, suzuki no, ducati no, bmw no, etc etc. This 12 fireblade I have handles like a 250 on the twisties which is astonishing for a liter bike. The blade even handles better than my 600rr on the twisties which I did not think was even possible. You don't need bs electronic rider aides with this bike either, the fueling is so perfect anyone can ride it.
Cool video man. My coworker has the zx10 and he offered me to take it out for a spin but i said not yet cause i only rode a cbr600 once for a short while. Im gonna give it a shot next time, ive only got a 250 cruiser not fast by any means but fun as hell to me. I really like cruisers for long rides.
It is totally worth it bro, a 1000cc is awesome, the only thing you will regret on the 600cc knowing you is the fuel mileage, but other than that you will have a blast. I didn't regret upgrading to a 1000cc one second. Plus, don't listen to that "it's power you will never use on the street bull shit" it's totally usable. Only people that never rode a liter bike say that. It's more stable on the highway and more confidence inspiring in corners due to the better geometry.
I'm not going to front, I liked the CBR 600RR, and the thought of you changing bikes is something else, so I hope this Fire-blade is going to hold up the CBR family name as well as "Cycle-Cruza's" trilogy.
Yeah Cruza! It will be a nite and day xperience for you. I used to think there was no difference. But as a seasoned rider, you will enjoy the full spectrum of the 1000. There is nothing wrong with the 600, yet when you ride the 1000 you will see the change. Its a good change!! It makes you fall in love even harder than before.
I have a cbr600rr 2007 man just get the fire blade n let us know your reaction to the power of the new bike. Bro keep making videos I love them all. Hope you get your 1000cc soon. And yoy should p like plasty dip your bike.
CycleCruza, go luck on your next bike. The CBR1000RR is a great looking bike, I might test ride one soon. I started on a liter bike...an 04 ZX10R and have loved it from the start.
We're all human and we often tire with what we've got. Go get that liter bike even if you've said before that, "This 600s got all the power I need!" Hey, we all change tastes and preferences. And it's OK to say, "You know...I've changed my mind." Ain't nothin' wrong with that. Good luck and ride safe.
I'm not telling you what to do, but with summer time mid way through, I would hold off on getting another bike till next spring. See if there are any bike rallies in your area that stuff is always fun to watch.
Actually what I remember from that previous video about liter bikes is that you thought that it was overkill for street riding. Personally I think it's good to step it up when the time is right. If you can have a new challange and more fun then why should you pass up on it? If you are in doubt about a certain bike why not just go rent it for a day or two? Or maybe just go to a dealer and take it for a spin?
You will not regret buying a blade. It's the most forgiving liter bike out period. As much as I want to see you get one ASAP, you should probably wait until the end of the season and but used on craigslist. My 2 cents.
CycleCruza Please keep your 600. I think it would be good to have two bikes to choose from. As for 1000cc bikes; i just want to know the power difference and mpg from an.unbiased standpoint.
"YES GET THE 1000 and enjoy your life " and keep the 600 for the track. Make a vlog at the dealer buying it and test riding etc will you get the tri color or a white one ?
I never lost hope i knew you were gonna complete that trilogy lol looking forward to see your reviews on the fireblade also wanted to ask your opinion about the R1 you mentioned kawi bwmer and of course honda but yamaha was left out considered a little request so you can make a little mention about it in your next video
I have a 2013 cbr1k repsol ,, i already put 9000 miles ,,, bike is bulletproof you won't look back,,, It has the best midrange of all the other liter bikes ,,,ill say its one of the fastest bikes too IMO Just get it and stop thinking about it so much I really like the new aprilia rsv4 ,,, you should look Into one of those aswell
I went from cruiser to adventurer to the CBR 1000rr and its the funniest bike I've owned and ridden, I don't believe its gets much better than a 1000rr for public roads. Of course please drive responsively......an take it eeeeeasyyyy!
congrats for any liter super bike. never rode one of those, but heard that the cockpit one the cbr is shorter than on the zx 10r. either way, any of those is a great choice. deuces.
CC Im a huge fan just curious how you negotiated $9300 otd? Was the fireblade a leftover 2012 or 13? And what was the dealer price ? Just curious im thinking of picking up a fiteblade next year and will comply w a leftover model . Currently left over 13 are at $11500. And 12 at 10999. + fees taxes etc. ( Chicago, Illinois as a refrence)
Thanks ! I didn't even have to negotiate. lol It was their advertised price. I did a video on how I'm able to buy a motorcycle fro so cheap. here is the video: Motorcycle Buying Tips
Why not try a 899 panigale?i know you stated in a prev vid that you don't like Ducatis but I definitely recommend testing one. I ride one and love the power 148 hp and torque. I test rode the bmw s1000rr before I bought the panigale and it was amazing but I knew that it had a lot more power that I would ever use. After that I tried the 899 and boy it's just awesome. Just the right set of hp and torque not only that but it feels extremely light and easy to ride. Also extremely comfortable for a sport I never had wrist or back probs. could ride it all day and just be fine.
CycleCruza Nice video man, I just recently started watching your channel and I like what I see so far. I'm curious as to why you didn't touch on the R1 when talking about the liter bikes you considered. I just recently bought a 2008 R1 and love it! :)
R1 is heavier, people complain about heat at the seat, has electronic rider aides and not is flickable as the fireblade nor does it have as much power down low as the fireblade. I'm sure it's a great bike but just not my cup of tea.
CycleCruza You're definitely right about the heat under the seat, man it gets hot! Thanks for the response, can't wait to see an updated video when you get your CBR1000rr
Get a EBR 1190rx it has consistent torque throughout the power curve, it's a total wheelie machine AND it's American muscle. People in the know usually are EBR fanatics
cyclecruza is it fair to say to an experienced rider with good throttle control a 1000cc bike simply feels smoother and not crazy like a lot of people describe? you get horsepower and torque, right? you can go fast if you want to, but when not it is a nice, smooth ride with effortless acceleration? i ride a 600cc atm and someone told me to ride it a couple years before i jump to a 1000cc, being i am a newer rider of just 3 years. like you i rode a scooter first, but for a longer time because i did not buy a POS chinascoot such as your own! lol. but do you agree i should wait a bit before considering a 1000cc of any kind? what do you think of street bikes such as the CB1000R?
Don't trade in Mary Jane, keep her and have the Fireblade as a 2nd bike or 1st lol trust me I've had the cbr 250 (traded in for 600), 600 (got stolen), and now the 1000cc you are going to feel the difference between the two, looking forward to the trilogy!
Have you considered the 2009+ Yamaha r1?? Great crossplane engine with lots of torque and sounds like a V2/4. Also last of the bikes with underseat exhausts which I will miss greatly especially hearing rumours that the 2015 r1 will have a low-slung exhaust... Can't deny those two evil eyes looking at you too - I reckon they're one of the most beautiful bikes. Ergonomically, I hear the r1 triumphs over the r6. That said, how about Suzuki gsxr 1000, which is quite similar to the fireblade?
jovial lol...be honest you used to put them down and now you know better....just man up...i have always enjoyed your straight up honest way...so don't let us down by covering up
im honda all the way and i feel 600's are the perfect bike for the street you can use the whole bike but honestly i think if u get a 1000 u should really think about getting the gixxer1000 or the r1.
awsome matie . ive noticed, and now since ive been riding (and you loveeee it) sooner or later we all just have to go the big ccs. we still love our smaller cced bikes buttttt its like hmmmmm i want that one =). any ways great vlog cheers matie.
Hey #cyclecrazy if I can remember you said in one of your videos 1000cc bike was unnecessary for the streets, but hey man if you want to get a leader bike that's your chance at the end of the day bro
and I still stand by that statement! I now own the fireblade and can honestly say that the 600 is all you need for the streets. I speak from experience now.
I have 3 motorcycles and I'm 19. My 01 CBR929rr, my 03 CRF450 for motorcross, and a 2007 TTR 230 I use for trails and I'm planning to add a supermoto soon. I rode my buddys r6, and it felt slow as fuck.... Like, it felt like a 125 two stroke dirtbike. You had to ring that bike out to get it anyhwere.
Because I have 0 offenses in my driving record. If you pay any more then I do and you're older with 0 points and you pay more then that then you need to switch to progressive.
I'm surprised that BMW would behave such re: warranty coverage. I drive a '04 MINI Cooper S which I bought new. Not only did it come with a 5 year service warranty but in that 5 yrs they fixed many issues for me that were not specifically covered. Im talking a few thousnad dollars work! BMW Corp. Requires their dealers to have the customers rate every service appointment on a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being best. The dealership/service dept is so desperate for 5's that they'll do anything for you. Maybe it's different w/ BMW's bike department...?
After watching your video I felt you were a bit bias in your selection of choices. Honda makes a great bike hence current moto gp standings. I ride an R1 and I'm definitely team Yamaha. But to say you want a Honda and and considered a kawi that's like comparing steak to hamburger helper. A liter bike takes time to master and control. It will wear you out if you let it. I wish you the best on getting and taming the beast that is a liter bike they are not for everyone ..
so in other videos you claim that the looks of the bike dont matter you are only out there for your own experience but the first thing you list off as a reason for getting it is because of the looks
I used to wish. lol If they did I would have ridden this bike a long time ago. Some places do have rentals but very few places. In Europe they have more supersport rental places.
I think you are totally on the right track! The CBR1000rr is a fantastic bike all around. I had a 2012 and it was and always will be my favorite bike. The lack of cluster info is kind of annoying, but you can buy the aftermarket cluster that will tell you everything. It's like a laptop on your bike. I'll share the link to the one I got. www.bikebandit.com/koso-rx-1n-gp-style-speedometer-and-tachometer
I would keep the 600rr and buy the 1000rr. If for some reason you do not like the 1000rr then keep the 600rr and sell the 1000rr. If you sell the 600rr and do not like the 1000rr, then you will be double screwed. I do think though you will fall in love with the 1000rr. The felling of a 1000 is like no other. Once I got my 1000 I could not go back....Just a thought
"The CBR1000RR is overkill for the streets, It's just unnecessary." Now you want one just because you want to "Add more content to your channel"?? If your getting it just to review it why don't you just go test drive one?
ZachLacyHD Test drive wonn't do shiz, you need to OWN one so you can REALLY test it. I'm glad I bought it b/c the handling and slipper clutch is awesome.
CycleCruza What are talking about?? I got to fully test drive it man. I got it to 150mph in 3rd gear. I know what that bike can do. I don't have to own it to understand it.
ZachLacyHD Riding in a straight line ? lol You have to own it to really know a bike. It's like a having a one night stand with a chick, you have to live with a chick to really get to know a chick. Same with a bike.
I want a liter bike for 2 reasons. I'm 6'2 so I need a bigger bike for more leg room. And 2, I got big bitches. They gotta be comfortable ride on the bike to accommodate those fat assess. Those are my reasons for needing a liter bike. My 600 is fun but too small.
You should get a gsxr 1000 its a good bike and the older model is fast as fuck an 07 I'm 13 but my dads bike is stock and he has been 180mph max .140 on a quarter mile so just telling you that a 07 gsxr 1000 is the best choice
If you don't get the R1 you'll be making a big mistake man. It's the best in every single way. Faster than every other liter bike in production especially with the 2015 first ever 200+ bhp coming out. You will regret it. BTW. You can't be comparing bikes without riding them. All bikes on paper don't match them in life. R1 is cheap to modify and make your own. The whole fun owning a bike is making it your own. I have over 25 modifications in my bikes. Dude get a R1 best choice. Hands down. Wait for the first ever world production 2015 R1. You will not regret it man.
The 2015 Yamaha R1 will be the sexiest and best motorcycle in the world. You forgot to mention Yamaha and it's the best for a reason. If I were you I'd save my money son and wait. She's gonna have 200+ bhp, that sexy under tail exhaust, and beautiful sexy eyes. Not only the fastest, and sexiest, but also better than exotic liter bikes in every way but way cheaper. Dude R1 is and always will be the best. It's an acquired taste. Once you ride one and get the feel for it there's no bike in comparison. Especially this 2015 coming out. You will regret not getting the best bike for your money. Why settle for second? GO BIG OR GO HOME. son.
Go for it CycleCruza! You are definitely an experienced rider and always riding safe. Plus you're getting it for all the right reasons. CycleCruza, go complete the CBR family!
In the end either of those bikes should be pretty stellar, so go with what you want. I think anyone who doesn't want you to get a 1000cc is jelly.

Especially now that you're feeling ready for it as opposed to the first time you sold your bike.
Looking forward to the comparisons to come though, should be great!
Thanks! I look froward to getting to know the fireblade. I may even keep my 600rr. It's nice to have two bike for back-up.
Do what makes you happy. I'd love to see a new bike on your channel. Screw the haters.
You are awesome to get a liter bike even after the fact you feel you didn't need one. Got to admit I couldn't believe it when you said it and made me laugh lol, but I'm looking forward to your new vids with the CBR 1000 DOUBLE RR!
1000cc Pros Cons - Why I am choosing the cbr1000rr
I hope you get a fireblade and do a review, you have the best reviews.
superXgaming Thanks! The fireblade will be scrutinized from top to bottom.
Please make sure you include the year models that burn oil.
How about the Yamaha r1?
jetfuel545
less time exposed in the wrong lane passing a row of semis is always good, more rotating mass and low end torque reduces your chances of stalling with a cage behind you
the power a liter bike won't bite you in the ass unless you are a moron, in 6th gear at 65 on dry roads you can hammer the throttle with no wheelspin, no wheelie, no drama
i hate bikes without sight glasses.
if the suspension is dialed in and the geometry is designed right no bike needs a steering damper.

2) Can you?
3) Can you live with the responsibilities that that decision entails?
Sounds to me like you got check marks on all of those! Go be you! No need for reasons. Have fun on your new bike! I look forward to your thoughts on it. Ride safe.
Just letting you viewers know what's up, keeping you all updated.
Congrats on the new bike! Enjoy it!
I'm sure you'll agree now the new Blade is simply exquisite! I remember a quote from a review. "liter bike for dummies" It'll be hard to explain how magnificent it is.

Don't fight the urge man. Just let it be. You'll be much happier:)
Sweet the 1000cc is such an awesome change, like you I had a cbr 600rr, but the 1199 is in its own league. As are pretty much any liter bike!
I'm not going to front, I liked the CBR 600RR, and the thought of you changing bikes is something else, so I hope this Fire-blade is going to hold up the CBR family name as well as "Cycle-Cruza's" trilogy.
I love this bike just like the 600rr. It's a dream bike and I can't wait to mod it up. Pipe coming next week!
Great I'm looking forward to it.
Yeah Cruza! It will be a nite and day xperience for you. I used to think there was no difference. But as a seasoned rider, you will enjoy the full spectrum of the 1000. There is nothing wrong with the 600, yet when you ride the 1000 you will see the change. Its a good change!! It makes you fall in love even harder than before.
its your money, do what you want with it! cant wait for the review!
The 13 and 14 zx10r have electronic dampers. Also you should wait for the 15 R1...it looks insane
I have a cbr600rr 2007 man just get the fire blade n let us know your reaction to the power of the new bike. Bro keep making videos I love them all. Hope you get your 1000cc soon. And yoy should p like plasty dip your bike.
CycleCruza, go luck on your next bike. The CBR1000RR is a great looking bike, I might test ride one soon. I started on a liter bike...an 04 ZX10R and have loved it from the start.

I'm not telling you what to do, but with summer time mid way through, I would hold off on getting another bike till next spring. See if there are any bike rallies in your area that stuff is always fun to watch.
I bought a 2012 honda cbr1000rr $9322 OTD BRAND NEW! You will not find a brand new 2012 fireblade any cheaper.
My newer video: Honda CBR1000rr vs CBR600rr 0-100 mph 0-60 mph Hyperflo vs Two Bros Exhaust
Actually what I remember from that previous video about liter bikes is that you thought that it was overkill for street riding. Personally I think it's good to step it up when the time is right. If you can have a new challange and more fun then why should you pass up on it?
If you are in doubt about a certain bike why not just go rent it for a day or two? Or maybe just go to a dealer and take it for a spin?
I have loved every bike I have ever owned or ridden. I think no matter what you decide, you will enjoy the new machine.
You will not regret buying a blade. It's the most forgiving liter bike out period. As much as I want to see you get one ASAP, you should probably wait until the end of the season and but used on craigslist. My 2 cents.
I already got one lined up brand new for $9300 OTD CASH. lol Picking it up soon. Bike reveal coming soon.
CycleCruza sick man. You better have your camera rolling the first time to twist that throttle!
Buy it! I look forward to your comparison reviews.
I remember you ranting about a litre bikes (didn't mean it though). Im with you and your decision bro, looking forward to it.
I still say you don't need a liter bike, however, I do love the upgrades on this new fireblade. The extra torque is nice but not needed like many say.
CycleCruza Ya man not necessarily bored, but we all do that. We all want to upgrade; glad you have still kept that 600rr baby. Peace bro.
I thought you said "600 is all I NEED!".... Lol
Hopefully everything works out and you get it. Looking forward for a review.
We need your reviews about that 1000 cc bike. As soonest as possible. Thanks.
Next thursday! Until then I will be doing a couple review videos on some new gear I bought.
CycleCruza Please keep your 600. I think it would be good to have two bikes to choose from. As for 1000cc bikes; i just want to know the power difference and mpg from an.unbiased standpoint.
At least the 2015 ZX-10R is listed to have an electronic steering damper on the kawasaki website.
Congrads man on your new bike! Don't listen to those haters lol
"YES GET THE 1000 and enjoy your life " and keep the 600 for the track. Make a vlog at the dealer buying it and test riding etc will you get the tri color or a white one ?
I'm workin on getting a cbr 600 double r soon
I never lost hope i knew you were gonna complete that trilogy lol looking forward to see your reviews on the fireblade also wanted to ask your opinion about the R1 you mentioned kawi bwmer and of course honda but yamaha was left out considered a little request so you can make a little mention about it in your next video
I have a 2013 cbr1k repsol ,, i already put 9000 miles ,,, bike is bulletproof you won't look back,,, It has the best midrange of all the other liter bikes ,,,ill say its one of the fastest bikes too IMO
Just get it and stop thinking about it so much
I really like the new aprilia rsv4 ,,, you should look Into one of those aswell
I went from cruiser to adventurer to the CBR 1000rr and its the funniest bike I've owned and ridden, I don't believe its gets much better than a 1000rr for public roads. Of course please drive responsively......an take it eeeeeasyyyy!

Why do I want an extra 20 HP? I am quite happy with my 636 lol
What do you think about the ktm rc8 and the ducati panigale?
It'll be awesome if you could do some test ride videos or the different litre bikes!
Get a EBR 1190rx it has consistent torque throughout the power curve, it's a total wheelie machine AND it's American muscle. People in the know usually are EBR fanatics
cyclecruza is it fair to say to an experienced rider with good throttle control a 1000cc bike simply feels smoother and not crazy like a lot of people describe? you get horsepower and torque, right? you can go fast if you want to, but when not it is a nice, smooth ride with effortless acceleration? i ride a 600cc atm and someone told me to ride it a couple years before i jump to a 1000cc, being i am a newer rider of just 3 years. like you i rode a scooter first, but for a longer time because i did not buy a POS chinascoot such as your own! lol. but do you agree i should wait a bit before considering a 1000cc of any kind? what do you think of street bikes such as the CB1000R?
Don't trade in Mary Jane, keep her and have the Fireblade as a 2nd bike or 1st lol trust me I've had the cbr 250 (traded in for 600), 600 (got stolen), and now the 1000cc you are going to feel the difference between the two, looking forward to the trilogy!
Hey CC if you want the power of the blade and comfy ergos just get the cb1000r!
Why get the fire blade when you can go for the BMW HP4?
So why were the GSXR and R1 not on the options list?
Have you considered the 2009+ Yamaha r1?? Great crossplane engine with lots of torque and sounds like a V2/4. Also last of the bikes with underseat exhausts which I will miss greatly especially hearing rumours that the 2015 r1 will have a low-slung exhaust... Can't deny those two evil eyes looking at you too - I reckon they're one of the most beautiful bikes. Ergonomically, I hear the r1 triumphs over the r6. That said, how about Suzuki gsxr 1000, which is quite similar to the fireblade?
jovial lol...be honest you used to put them down and now you know better....just man up...i have always enjoyed your straight up honest way...so don't let us down by covering up
Dude, buy the zx10r i looove that bike and it would be awesome if cycle cruza makes a review about it
I love it man, hell yes get the 1000, but keep your 600. More bikes is always better, and you will want the lighter, smaller bike for daily use.
Both are great fro commuter use, I now own a 2012 cbr1000rr AND still own my 2008 honda cbr600rr.. Video coming soon!
CycleCruza Good for you mate! Looking forward to hearing all about it.
600cc Motorcycle IS ALL I NEED - Liter Bike is Unnecessary
Can't wait to see it :)
Best mid range (street use) of any Litre bike
BigBitesR rite I haven't ridden any other liter bike besides this bike but this cbr1000rr is a great street bike just like the cbr600rr.
im honda all the way and i feel 600's are the perfect bike for the street you can use the whole bike but honestly i think if u get a 1000 u should really think about getting the gixxer1000 or the r1.
awsome matie . ive noticed, and now since ive been riding (and you loveeee it) sooner or later we all just have to go the big ccs. we still love our smaller cced bikes buttttt its like hmmmmm i want that one =). any ways great vlog cheers matie.
you didn't mention your thoughts on the Yam R1!
does anyone recommend a beginner bike fore me
Sport Bike - CBR250r
Cruiser - Honda Shadow 600
What's your opinion on 01 CBR 929?
Hey #cyclecrazy if I can remember you said in one of your videos 1000cc bike was unnecessary for the streets, but hey man if you want to get a leader bike that's your chance at the end of the day bro
and I still stand by that statement! I now own the fireblade and can honestly say that the 600 is all you need for the streets. I speak from experience now.
Ok sounds good, be safe bro can't wait to see the new ride #cyclecrazy
Looking forward to the videos ! might make me want one but still --
It's a 01 cbr 929rr that's why learn something new everyday
Can't wait for your reaction video. I know it'll be hilarious.
what about the Yamaha R1?
I have 3 motorcycles and I'm 19. My 01 CBR929rr, my 03 CRF450 for motorcross, and a 2007 TTR 230 I use for trails and I'm planning to add a supermoto soon. I rode my buddys r6, and it felt slow as fuck.... Like, it felt like a 125 two stroke dirtbike. You had to ring that bike out to get it anyhwere.
Because I have 0 offenses in my driving record. If you pay any more then I do and you're older with 0 points and you pay more then that then you need to switch to progressive.
***** He rides three old bikes that collectively aren't worth more than a couple grand as far as an insurance payout is concerned...
***** No, I think it has more to do with you just having extremely old or cheap bikes.
So what's your point. I can have 1987 Ninja 1000 like my dad did and make it one of the best looking bikes I've ever seen.
He's saying that I think that having alot of old bikes makes it seem like I have alot of motorcycles that are worth less then I value them.
I'm surprised that BMW would behave such re: warranty coverage. I drive a '04 MINI Cooper S which I bought new. Not only did it come with a 5 year service warranty but in that 5 yrs they fixed many issues for me that were not specifically covered. Im talking a few thousnad dollars work!
BMW Corp. Requires their dealers to have the customers rate every service appointment on a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being best. The dealership/service dept is so desperate for 5's that they'll do anything for you. Maybe it's different w/ BMW's bike department...?
Cruza hav you checked out yamaha s new fz09 triple ?
no fairings for wind protection, I talked about why I won't get a naked bike here in this video: NAKED or SUPERSPORT Motorcycle? NAKED BIKE CONS
No R1?
I'd get the liter bike bro... Fuck what other people think... But, KEEP your 600... I love your bike man...
check my newest video and you will see the bike I got! Yes, keeping the 600rr.
didn't you wanted it last year to? or is this a re-upload?
It's your money, you are the rider so in the words of the Digital Underground:
"DOOWUTCHYALIKE"
And enjoy the ride !!
After watching your video I felt you were a bit bias in your selection of choices. Honda makes a great bike hence current moto gp standings. I ride an R1 and I'm definitely team Yamaha. But to say you want a Honda and and considered a kawi that's like comparing steak to hamburger helper. A liter bike takes time to master and control. It will wear you out if you let it. I wish you the best on getting and taming the beast that is a liter bike they are not for everyone ..
Before you make any decision take the bike of your choice in your case the cbr 1000rr on,a test drive
so in other videos you claim that the looks of the bike dont matter you are only out there for your own experience but the first thing you list off as a reason for getting it is because of the looks
Can't you rent it for a week or something ?
I used to wish. lol If they did I would have ridden this bike a long time ago. Some places do have rentals but very few places. In Europe they have more supersport rental places.
My fireblade has the oil sight glass
What year do you have? 08+ doesn't have one.
I think you are totally on the right track! The CBR1000rr is a fantastic bike all around. I had a 2012 and it was and always will be my favorite bike. The lack of cluster info is kind of annoying, but you can buy the aftermarket cluster that will tell you everything. It's like a laptop on your bike. I'll share the link to the one I got. www.bikebandit.com/koso-rx-1n-gp-style-speedometer-and-tachometer
I like this bike but stock pipe is too dang quiet. Speed without sound is boring to me. Thanks for the link.
Anytime
Hahaha Yeah that's why you get the 2 Brothers Shorty exhaust.
I would keep the 600rr and buy the 1000rr. If for some reason you do not like the 1000rr then keep the 600rr and sell the 1000rr. If you sell the 600rr and do not like the 1000rr, then you will be double screwed. I do think though you will fall in love with the 1000rr. The felling of a 1000 is like no other. Once I got my 1000 I could not go back....Just a thought
"The CBR1000RR is overkill for the streets, It's just unnecessary." Now you want one just because you want to "Add more content to your channel"?? If your getting it just to review it why don't you just go test drive one?
ZachLacyHD Test drive wonn't do shiz, you need to OWN one so you can REALLY test it. I'm glad I bought it b/c the handling and slipper clutch is awesome.
CycleCruza What are talking about?? I got to fully test drive it man. I got it to 150mph in 3rd gear. I know what that bike can do. I don't have to own it to understand it.
ZachLacyHD Riding in a straight line ? lol You have to own it to really know a bike. It's like a having a one night stand with a chick, you have to live with a chick to really get to know a chick. Same with a bike.
Once you get on the fireblade youll never look back !
lol i remember when you where talking shiet about 1000cc bikes but I'm glad you changed your mind
Talk with no experience is talk. lol Bottom line, I will have liter bike experience to back up what I say about the liter bike.
I want a liter bike for 2 reasons. I'm 6'2 so I need a bigger bike for more leg room. And 2, I got big bitches. They gotta be comfortable ride on the bike to accommodate those fat assess. Those are my reasons for needing a liter bike. My 600 is fun but too small.
I told you you would. After you go 1000, its going to be a wrap!
its ok to have 2 bikes baby, really, it is.....
Man IMO don't let your cbr600rr go.
You should get a gsxr 1000 its a good bike and the older model is fast as fuck an 07 I'm 13 but my dads bike is stock and he has been 180mph max .140 on a quarter mile so just telling you that a 07 gsxr 1000 is the best choice
wtf? zx-10r DOES have a steering damper, it comes standard, even $1000 dollors worth of electric steering damper
If you don't get the R1 you'll be making a big mistake man. It's the best in every single way. Faster than every other liter bike in production especially with the 2015 first ever 200+ bhp coming out. You will regret it. BTW. You can't be comparing bikes without riding them. All bikes on paper don't match them in life. R1 is cheap to modify and make your own. The whole fun owning a bike is making it your own. I have over 25 modifications in my bikes. Dude get a R1 best choice. Hands down. Wait for the first ever world production 2015 R1. You will not regret it man.
Ride what you want.
consider the ZX10R ,,,bad ass beast ,,get heli bars ,,and yo good to go yo
The 2015 Yamaha R1 will be the sexiest and best motorcycle in the world. You forgot to mention Yamaha and it's the best for a reason. If I were you I'd save my money son and wait. She's gonna have 200+ bhp, that sexy under tail exhaust, and beautiful sexy eyes. Not only the fastest, and sexiest, but also better than exotic liter bikes in every way but way cheaper. Dude R1 is and always will be the best. It's an acquired taste. Once you ride one and get the feel for it there's no bike in comparison. Especially this 2015 coming out. You will regret not getting the best bike for your money. Why settle for second? GO BIG OR GO HOME. son.
