- Some talk about buying your first bike. mainly regarding bike size and power. This is my first bike and it is a GSXR 750. I could have started on a 1000 If I wanted to but I couldn't walk away from this deal.

Im the same. I bought a 1000 gsxr. People said im mad. Miles under my belt. No issues. Respecting the bike is the biggest the thing
Let's say I have a friend that didn't respect the power of her bike (600cc) and ended up braking bones and wasted her summer. However I thank God it wasn't worse 🙏🏽
Same bro I got a Gsxr 750 I ain’t gonna lie bro a lot these channels said get rc390 and I was way more comfortable and could flat foot the Gsxr 750 and not the rc390 lol and also the weight difference is like 60 pounds lol and I did the exhaust on my Gsxr 750 and brought it down to about 409 pounds so now it’s like maybe about 55 pounds difference. So in my mind I was like there is no different when they said get a smaller bike because the weight 😂😂😂😂 I’m like 220 pounds that rc390 didn’t carry me well and was all wonky and had to shift way more then on my Gsxr 750
I bought a 2024 gsxr 750 for my first bike a few weeks ago and I love it. I ride it in B mode and practice almost daily. The bike does what you tell it todo. Just be smooth with throttle and your good. Never ever rode before. Love this video. Its truth!
Do u recomend it bro i wanna do the same thing but i need a opinion of somone that already did it
Congrats bro have fun practice practice practice forget the naysayers
got that brand new gsxr fuck yeah 👌
It’s all about respecting the machine. Never rode on 2 wheels before. But have done plenty of track days with cars. So once I found the friction zone. And understood throttle control. I was good. And the 1st bike I ever got on was a hayabusa. So it can be done. But u gotta take your time! And don’t let anyone make u ride outside your comfort zone.
Man, how did you even get use to the weight of the Hayabusa?
Yeah the fastest way to crash is to ride with people who are above your skill level because you'll be struggling to keep up with a pace they are use to.
@@thedragonofechigo7878 A hayabusa isn't even that heavy. I learned to ride on a Vstrom 650 XT, rode a friends hayabusa and was surprised how light it felt by comparison. Unless you're a very small guy, it shouldnt feel that heavy.
SAME HERE. MY FIRST BIKE WAS A 750. I AINT NEVER LETTIN IT GO. I’LL BUY OTHER BIKES, BUT SHE STAYIN.
RESPECT THE BIKE, AND YOU’LL BE FINE.
I just got my brothers 750 and it’s my first bike, but I realized the first time riding it, respect it.
Bro you are so right! I’ve been riding about 10 years now. My homeboy first bike was a busa he been riding 10 plus years now and never dropped it once. You can start on whatever you want with the right mind set of course. You just got a sub from me for sure!
Pretty much.
Big ups to yo homie
Scrape I agree 100% my first bike back in the day(I naturally knew how to operate a clutch from dirt bikes & cars etc) but my first bike was a brand new black & purple 1992 katana 600 & 11 yrs later I traded it in for the 2003 Gsx R750 that I’m still in ❤with today & I really have enjoyed the last 20 years on my bike & many more to come 👍🏼
Thank you man. UA-cam Vloggers are talking us down so much it makes me not even want to get a bike or if anything just get the weakest possible bike. But in person everyone here in Houston are like naw man you good to start on whatever just respect the bike. I watch youtubers a lot because I want to study before getting into it but it's been quite discouraging to think that I have to purchases 4 bikes over years of experience before getting something I really want to keep.
💯 they a make it seem like u should start on a 150cc or u shoulda started in the 80’s to be able to ride a 750cc or up. If u don’t mind me asking what did u decided to go with?
The funny part about my motorcycle journey is that I learned to ride on my older brother’s R1M but ended up getting a R6 as a first bike.
Getting a gsxr750 tomorrow dawg. Thanks for this confidence booster
How’s it treating u ?
@@seensatandeathdealer got a few things to fix up from previous owner but it runs strong
You are talking straight to me bro. Thanks you spoke to me before I buy the 600. I'm going for a 1000 next month❤
Thank you bro im tired of certain ones telling ppl what bike to start on you touched on it perfectly
My boy. Mines should be out the shop this coming weekend. And next weekend when I’m up there I want to see what the 750 do. Good look, loving the countryside vibe.
Bless up.
I agree with all u said. A smart cool headed rider will ride smart regardless of engine displacement.
Same thing I was telling people! Great video bro 👍🏽 make more
My guy thanks! More videos coming soon!!
My first bike was a Ninja 600r, second was a Honda shadow 600 and my third was a Gsxr1100w that was set up for 1/4 mile drag even though I drove it daily on the streets.
From a re-sell perspective, you will never get good return value from those smaller bikes. I see people trying to sell those things for $3-4k, when you could get a 600, 750, or bigger for the same or not much more.
RIDE your RIDE no matter what the bike your on I’ve been on the street for 31 years I started on a zx1100 in 1992
this is going to be my second bike, i’m so excited to go pick it up
The gsxr 750 is a light bike put it in B mode.take a motorcycle course,use your brain.beware of your environment and you will be just fine.
Totally agree with you nice vid
A lot of people start on 600 and 750s now. The Suzuki GSXR750 is a really cool bike.
What makes the 750 cool? Just curious
@@JimyOfficial its just a good mixture in between a 600 and 1000. Theres not many 750 Sports Bikes that delivered so good like the 750gsxr, in fact there are not many 750 Sports Bikes like the GSXR
@@JimyOfficial Looks, the performance. It is more flickable like a 600 but faster and more powerful than one. Perfect compromise between a 1000 and 600 Supersport. They look good, sound good, perform good, and are a blast to ride. It will be my next bike, I just sold my 2021 Ninja 400 ABS and I miss it already .
GSXR750 GANG 💪🏽
I been riding bikes since kindergarten. On the street, I started on an 80s XJ650 and have absolutely no regrets about it. In high school, by far I had the fastest thing in the parking lot, but if ya'll know old bikes, you know those old Yamaha's weren't speed demons. Stayed with that bike for 4 years before upgrading to a lightly built K6 Gsxr750.
I always tell people, starting on fast bikes can be OK but it just ain't as fun. The joy you get from riding an old or slow bike fast is so much more than what you get riding a missile slow and being afraid of the power between your legs. Regardless of maturity or mindset, I always recommend starting on something 90hp or less for that reason. Learn your fundamentals and get that rider mod before you try stepping up to the 100-180hp ranges. You'll have way more fun and get into far less trouble while you're learning.
I can definitely respect that.
My guy 💪🏿
Love this video brother
I started on a 125cc at 48 as my first bike.
I still ride that bike a year and a half later and looikng to upgrade to a CBR500r sometime in the future, nothing more powerful than that.
At my age I still don't trust myself, especially when I drink and get the urge to ride, which I've learned to try hard to resist, thankfully not through any mishaps.
So yeah, I'm sure one can start on a Busa, just not me.
But dreaming is free I guess so I still drool over bike videos.
Stay safe.
Ride safe brother 👌💪🙏
that thing so clean... i got one just as clean as that one. sadly had a little accident in miami. gotta find another one just as clean :(
great video brotha
Good advice bro
New subscriber👌 I’ll be getting a bike soon as well and starting my channel yeeee
I think being scared is a very important part to riding. And you can start on any bike but a better rider will start on a smaller bike as they will understand the basics.
Not true at all, you only need to be scared of the bike if youre some stupid kid whos probably gonna get himself killed, if you have an ounce of self control the bike doesnt matter
@@jessem9880I don’t even know why these people act like it’s some natural thing to rip the throttle driving through neighborhoods. “You can’t get a 1000” says the person who does 100 mph wheelies on the highway.
I started with a 750 like anything in life it takes time..
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yo 10 ain’t gone overheat the wind hitting that bad boy ! 😂
6’7 285 my first bike was a 750. Taught myself how to ride in about 20 minutes. Just don’t be an idiot. I’m getting a busa soon as possible tho merely for the size of the bike to fit my frame now that ik how to ride .
CORRECT!
w video
First bike cbr1000rr no problem now on a gsxr750 2011 (not stock)and I actually prefer it.
It hangs with my 1000 up to about 230kph.
If your not a peanut ride what you like
What made you go from 1000 to 750?
@@JimyOfficial did a few track days and after daily riding the 1000 for a few years got on mates 750 and could ride it closer to it's potential and I'm actually faster at the track on the 750 however if you only do roll racing the 1000 is the go if you want a perfect balanced bike 750 all day
Honestly i would've bought a Supersport for my first bike but insurance here is stupid expensive for that kind of bike and especially for new riders
👍👍
R.i.p. bro
im similar height and weight and wana know if the 750 is uncomfortable on the back and legs.
Same thing my big bro(600 & 750 owner) said get a 600 don’t start on no 250 cc
My 1st is 2019 1000x. I don't want any beginner motorcycle. Either you go big or go home. I called my motorcycle a black horse 🐎. Because all gloss black.
You learn and grow on a smaller bike vs a larger cc bike. Better to mess up on a smaller bike vs a larger cc bike.
You live in the sticks my guy.....
My 1st street bike is a 02 750 Gixxer 😂😂😂 at first I shifted like a car shift at 3.5 rpm😅 it's not a Car 😂 Wow Man when I started shift at 6 or 8 RPM 🥰😍😨 now I can't keep from going 80 or 90 mph😁 ❤️🔥🤣
My first bike was an Indian Scout Bobber, was totally fine with it. 5 Months later I picked up a 750, totally fine with it. Just don't be a dumbass and you will be fine as well.
This is his last posted blog 😱❗
First bike was a 600. Like everybody else said as long as you have common sense and respect the power youll be good. I get so tired of these "beginner" rider videos basically telling ppl to waste money on 250s that they sell in a few months
Are you using a chin mount?
Earned my sub, great video
I started off with same bike but you start with small bike you will get bored quick
do you still have it
Is it K8? Was my first bike with same colors. And still is.
Yup K8 750. Love the color to death!
@@DjSkrape198 my opinion is that k8 750 gsxr black/orange is the most beautiful bike ever made.
Any bike is dangerous even a 50cc it's all about being a responsible rider and not doing no hooligan type riding on the streets..
my logic is why buy a small bike to then sell it after 5 months when you can just buy a 600 or a 1000 cc and just take it easy!! anyway you have to learn all over again after you switch from small bike to big one.. instead of riding an r3 for half a year spend that time learning to ride a big a big bike! take it to the mountains take it easy learn how to lean with it and dont go above 100 mph on the highways just use your brain and you can start on whatever bike you want..
Slow down sir
Bon soir motard 🏍 ta elle 😊 le paysage et trop 😊 ❤avec le 🍤 avec Kévin ☀ avec tes amies qui font de la 🏍 avec toi françaises handicapée merci beaucoup de me faire voir votre 📼 sur ta 🏍
Best thing to do when you've only ever ridden a bike for 500 miles is not to start handing out (bad) advice to other noob riders. Sure you've gotten away with it so far but who's to say that you wont be posting your very own "Well I just had my first crash" video in another week or two? I've been riding since 1997 and can say for sure that for the majority of new riders, starting on a 750 is a bad idea. But at the end of the day do what you want. It's your life.
Your either made to ride or your not. If you have a "natural" affinity towards motorcycles, then sure, start on a 1000 even. Your not just gonna whisky goose the throttle. All that stuff is 1000% fake, like he said. The problem is, like most activities, most people are not naturally gifted on bikes. If your one of those people, then yeah, you CANT start on an 600/100. You WILL have an accident. However, you must acknowledge that for some people, starting on an r3 or a similar small bike just ain't it. I got a perfect score on my MSF, never rode a motorized bike before, and bought a sportster 1200. Within 20 minutes of ownership, I had it at max speed on the highway. 3 months later I had a gsxr 600. Have I crashed? Yeah, but its not from my lack of skill, its from my lack of smart judgement, just like any 21 year old.
@@thebudking5354 lack of judgment is a lack of skill 🤔 I'm on a 300cc and crafting my skill first and love every moment of it before i upgrade. I have friends that track all the time and they recommended I start on a 300 before upgrading best advice I ever got
@@stevensingleton6557 ok well that just means your a slow leaner and are not a natural rider, and thats ok. Most people aren't. Thats why the 300cc recommendation is good, unless you are a natural, and a fast learner, in which case you will be bored with a 300cc.
@@thebudking5354 There is no such thing as a natural rider. You never just jump on a motorcycle without learning how to ride now I agree it’s either for you or not I don’t get bored of my 300 because how much of that 750 are you using on the streets or on the highway. I do everything with my 300 that you can do with the 750 but I can go through every gear having fun and learning at the same time 90 mph on a 750 is the same 90mph on a 300 it’s not the bike but the rider it’s all about learning and progressing. I plan on getting a 750 in the future but I will still keep my 300 . If your a rider I still have respect for you no matter what you ride it’s all about your preference and your ride or skill set be safe out there Bud 🤴 I mean that.
@@stevensingleton6557 theres definitely something that makes some riders learn far faster than others. I bought a zx6r as my first bike, went so crazy on it, 150+ mph runs all day. Put over 15k miles on it in a season, and never crashed once. The only way id ever get a 300 is if I lived in europe AND I was a far worse rider than I ever was before.
I’m getting a Suzuki gsxr 2017 750 motorcycle for my birthday I’m turning 14
see you on the news
@@gabriellwin7882 lol ;DDD
take your time! and respect the bike! never ride outside of your comfort zone.
14 year old on a 750.. I hope you’re joking bud
Waste of money and time imo a big bike will drive way different than groms or lower cc bikes i have friends that started on groms and they cant get used to driving a big bike i too started on a 750 got 1300 miles experience 😂
This guys rocks 🪨
