Rev matching is much easier on your gear box. However, I think the question still remains why people do it while stationary, or think it's more efficient or attention grabbing than their horn. lol
Revving while you're setting still is a total different thing! And that is annoying!! Unless NooBiker is right, and it I'd an idle thing....... which I doubt!
@@NooBiker ........Then there's about 300 riders in this town around drastically needing tune ups. It's like a real life version of South Park. hahaha !!
I think a large part of the things you mention - are what makes me wonder if I will continue to talk to said biker, or just ignore them. It speaks to credibility. Most people don't understand rev matching - I rode a long ways on a broken clutch cable last fall (video on my my channel) by shifting through revs - just like rigs - which I can do as well.
Luckily I've only had one guy say that ( sport bikes don't belong on the road ) in person! But I see that in videos all of the time. That's true about Rev matching, I actually didn't try to learn how to do it till my second year of riding. Thanks for stopping by man!!
I've never heard that about sports bikes. There are a ton of them in my city. I think laying it down was an option way back in the day. But there's no need to do it now with modern bikes. Bikes are just louder, so people actually here the downshifting. Where I live I can always hear the sound of my people lol.
I tend to watch a bit of sport bike content, so I hear that fairly often! That is true, it's usually the older generation that had to ( lay it down ) 😂. Thanks BPE!!
Great video KG! I would have to agree with all 3 points. I most likely number 3 and getting away from red lights to avoid non-stopping vehicles behind you. Be safe man👍
I’ve not really heard people argue these topics, only in RUclips videos. Sports bikes are sexy. Every set of lights is a practise at launching the bike for drag racing.
Yes, mainly in RUclips videos. But I have had one guy say that to my face. I pulled into a store parking lot and this guy says..." I don't see why you young guys like to ride around on those Sport Bikes, their uncomfortable. And their just a race bike anyway." He was surprised to see the grey in my hair when I took my helmet off! 😂. All I replied was.." Not as uncomfortable as you'd think. And as long as you're responsible, the bike doesn't really matter." He shrugged and walked off.
I have said that some bikes should be taken on a track so the rider can test their potential. I've never heard anyone say they have to lie it down. It's not illegal to get to the speed limit fast & revving is fun. Smaller vehicles also look like they are going faster than larger vehicles.
Completely agree Adam!! Some bikes should be tested on the track and not the road. You just have to remember to be responsible while you're on the road. I've heard the ( lay it down ) remark in quite a few videos, and actually had a few people say it too me in person!
When I come to a stop at lights, I use brakes only, then block change at the end with only one release of the clutch at the end. "Brakes are for slow, gears are for go" What really annoys me are "w-anchors" rev bombing
I used to do the same for my first 2 years of riding. Then I decided to try and learn Rev matching. Found out I liked it. Only thing is when you do it, you have to remember to tap your rear brake to make sure the people behind you can see your brake light. Otherwise the won't realize you're slowing down. W-anchors that Rev at a complete stop are very annoying!!
1:11 1) I’ve never even thought of saying that. Some sport bike riding belongs on a track, but most sport bikers are responsible riders when on the street….
I found A Lot of those type of videos when I first started riding. I was still deciding between a sport bike and a cruiser. I still see those comments in videos at least once every couple of months.
Green light definitely = Launch!! 😂. I think I'm spoiled by my liter bike. When I want to go fast, I can. But I can't go fast on a slow bike when I want to and I get.... aggravated! 😂.
I don't think think the Rev matching bothers people as much as the guys that Rev while already stopped at a red light does. But I have been asked why we do it. Thanks Sis!!
Engine braking, which I do often. I do not see any issue with reaching the designated speed limit in the shortest amount of time. I may look like I am speeding, but I do not exceed the limit, but get there quickly.
Yep, it is pretty aggravating when people say that about bikes. I saw a guy lay down a bike because he had zero maneuvering skills🙄. Yep, rev matching is best when downshifting. Yes, speeding off from a stop is fun and it gives you distances from possible idiots lol.
The laying it down line is an excuse people make when they crash, just to save face. Actually intentionally putting a bike down is not so easy. I have never once been asked about rev matching, even when I rode a loud bike. I think people asking you are asking about the annoying habit some riders have of revving the throttle while stopped and sitting at a light.
I thought the same thing!! It can't be easy to just let the bike fall over at speed! People are crazy! 😂. I actually had a family member ask me about Rev matching. They have neighbor that Rev matches when he is slowing down to pull in his driveway. She didn't understand why. Thanks Dewey!
The funny thing about about the racing off a stoplight is its always a Honda or Camry that's wants a piece of me, lol.....by 2nd gear he is a fart I let out on Sunday and today is tuesday he is so far back, lol......how in the world you think a civic has a chance I'll never know
😂😂😂. That is funny!! For me it's usually one of three types... A young guy in his parents car, any blonde lady in a pick up truck, or some type of Mustang! For some reason it always seems to be one of those three! 🤷. Thanks for stopping by the channel man!! Appreciate it! And the comment too!
"because its fun" HI 5 TO THAT 🖐. yeah im with you on all those especially allowing the squirrel to cross the road in safety 😂. and yes sportsbikes should be on the road (officially) the only reason manufacturers enter sports competitions is to make their bikes more appealing to the consumer and sell more of them. great vid buddy, stay safe 👍👍
Absolutely cannot forget about the FUN factor!! Well he was kind enough to use the crosswalk! 😂. Very very true!! Just because a bike started in a competition, doesn't mean it should remain there!!
Great video. Mrs Kazo has one to add. LOL. Can I add that what is that motorbike riders see another bike wAY WAY in the distance but have this strong desire/urge to HAVE to catch it. I always say Pottsy is like a dog on heat when he see's another bike. Has to catch it - pass it. LOL. Thats just another thought ! You know we are huge fans of KoDE GreY.
Hahaha!! That's SO funny! Cause I actually do that all of the time! Though for me I don't pass. I stay right behind. Since I'm on a sport bike I'll just look like some douchebag trying to race! 😂. Thanks Kazo!! I appreciate it man!
I say get your car off my track😂😂😂😂. How about guys on Harley’s that have to rev the engine while sitting at a light? Bro, it’s a fuel injected bike…not a carbureted pan head…I say, it’s a nod to the past😂 great vlog Kode!
I've never heard the sports bikes don't belong on the freeway before, but I don't think I could resist not twisting the throttle on one of them. Ha So, I'd most likely ride like the pictures you showed if I owned one. I'm with you on taking off at redlights. If another bike pulls up next to me I will ask if they want to run 'em. If not it's cool, if so it makes it more interesting. Good one man! The audio is on point.
When I first started riding ( almost 7 years ago ) I wasn't sure if I would pick a sport bike or a cruiser. So I started doing research and watching videos. You would be shocked at how many people said that about sport bikes on those videos! And to this day I will hear someone say that in a video at least every couple months. Even had a guy say that to me in person! Thanks Miles!! Appreciate you stopping by!
"Some people may be trying to race you" It's me, I'm some people 🤣 Totally agree with #2, laying it down is like the last thing you wanna do but everyone thinks it's standard motorcycle ettiqute when things get fubar 🙄. Haven't heard #1 yet tho lol
😂😂😂. Squid...... you are the EXACT person I had in mind when I said that!! 😂. Dude...do a search, ( Do Sport Bikes belong on the road? ) You will be shocked at how many videos you will find!
@@KODEGREY I'm definitley gonna do that as soon as I'm off work, I'm curious to see what people say! Glad I'm known for that, better than other things I could be known for 🤣
4:21 2) I can’t imagine ever laying a bike down on purpose. To me, when someone says that, I think they crashed, and are making excuses for dumping the bike. I spun out on black ice, should I say I had to lay her down?😂😂😂
People who say Sportbikes don’t belong on the road are honestly so boring, bet they are the kind of people who complain about the volume of the music as a nightclub😂 Ahah I’ve never “had to lay it down” and to be honest I don’t really get that either but in all honesty I just walk away, I can’t be bothered to even discuss it 😂 People find Rev-matching annoying? Since when? It’s so awesome 😂 Great video mate, very well spoken. Hope you’re doing well buddy 🤘
🤣🤣. " The music is too loud and the drinks are too strong!! 😭 ". 😂. I've had a couple people give me the ( I had to lay it down) story. I think I only replied.." At least you made it.

8:00 “No we’re not trying to race you” 😂It’s surprising how many people assume your down to race because your on a sport bike. I’m a noob on a 300, I might as well be on rollerblades. 😂 Plus I ain’t trying to kill myself. I ride my ride. I know my skill.
It's funny how many people act like you're on a drag strip just because you stopped side by side with someone. 😂. You can hear them gun their engine as soon as the light turns green! 😂. Thanks for the comment man!!
Lol that squirrel was sizing you up KG! Great video as always
I was expecting him to start throwing hands at any moment!! 😂.

Thanks BD!! That's a great point too!! There are a lot of people who just don't pay attention!! Best to keep away from them as much as possible!
i think the more "Lay it Down!" is more go for the Lowside than highside it
Would definitely rather low side than high side. But I think I would rather brake or swerve first.
I’ve not really heard people argue these topics, only in RUclips videos. Sports bikes are sexy. Every set of lights is a practise at launching the bike for drag racing.
Yes, mainly in RUclips videos. But I have had one guy say that to my face.

It's not illegal to get to the speed limit fast & revving is fun. Smaller vehicles also look like they are going faster than larger vehicles.

There is definitely a FUN factor in number three huh!!
Thanks Coder!!
I don't think I've heard the sport bikes don't belong on the road one. Now the revving and quick take off from a stop, yep heard that one a few times.
I found A Lot of those type of videos when I first started riding. I was still deciding between a sport bike and a cruiser. I still see those comments in videos at least once every couple of months.
That's really cool and interesting issues to discuss bro. Keep it up and more vidz to come. RIDE SAFE ALWAYS brother 🙏☝️😊🤙💯❤️

Enjoyed the video - you covered all the points well and made it entertaining as well 🙂 Now if only the car drivers would watch the video!
Thanks man!! I appreciate that!! I would be nice to get a few car drivers to pay attention huh?
Green light = Race mode enabled! 🤣
Although I will say.. It’s fun to ride a slow bike fast, but not always fun to ride a fast bike slow..
Green light definitely = Launch!! 😂.
I think I'm spoiled by my liter bike. When I want to go fast, I can. But I can't go fast on a slow bike when I want to and I get.... aggravated! 😂.
Great video bro. Honestly, it doesn't bother me that bikers do that at green lights or stop signs. I think that some people just like to nit pick.
I don't think think the Rev matching bothers people as much as the guys that Rev while already stopped at a red light does.
But I have been asked why we do it.

Engine braking, which I do often.

My thoughts exactly Paul!! Zero to the speed limit as quickly as I can!! That's a blast!
Pulling away quickly at a green gives me more time until the car behind gets right up my exhaust because I choose to do the speed limit.
I do the same thing. And what's funny is...is that they really had to be moving fast to catch up to you.
Good topic, Kode. Ride well. Cheers
