My fist bike was a zx7r. No problem whatsoever. Thing is whatever bike you get, go practice slow maneuvering a bunch. Don’t just get on the road and go at it. Make sure you are comfortable and understand that even a 600 is very powerful and not respecting that can get you in a bad situation
@@arnavmagesh7838I wanted that as my first bike but the unfortunate truth is that your first bike has a high chance of falling down (can happen to anyone) or you might be driving and fall as well and I didn’t want my Ninja to get scratches but when it comes to the driving of course, go for it.
Just got a xsr700 and limit myself to my neighborhood and the parks parking lot. I'm not a speed demon so I'm in no rush to go fast. Practice makes the master!

I honestly can't thank you enough man. I'm going to pick up my first 600 CC street bike. It's a 04 GSXR. And I'm definitely a first-time writer when it comes to Street bikes.

This is exactly what I was trying to find I just needed a quick breakdown of a riding option for slowly becoming comfortable.

Right outside of Nottingham. Thanks again.

got a 600 as my first bike and did my driving test on it, put 1000 miles on it my first month, dont regret it. its doable it just depends on how much you want it.
Cool advice man love your GSXR dude.Throttle control, situational awareness, turning and braking are the most important components in my opinion if you don't want to get hurt out there.

Love how you laugh when you’re telling someone not to make a certain mistake, its funny. Great video. Needed a nice little refresher before hopping back on mine, thanks!
As long as you know what youre doing and understand the power of the bike, u definitely can. I went from a XR100r dirtbike that ive had since I was 10 (im 23 now), to a 07 gsxr600. Im still trying to improve on the little things but overall, I got it. Confidence is also a big part
I think the argument most people make about starting on a smaller bike is that you usually won't know what yojte doing at first. But my perspective is a 600 is perfectly manageable as long as you keep the rpms down. Theu don't make a lot down low.
dirt rider as kid- A OK to start on a 600. but not more. all others - no u cant start on a 600. 3-400 tops. dirt is the best teacher for bike body control and handling.
Dirt bike riding doesn't mean anything when going on the street. It two different things. I started on a 600 and been riding for 5 years no problems 🤷♂️
Thanks bro! This is great advice. Getting my first bike here it’s a GSX-R 600 07. I’ve had nothing but mustangs my entire life. Got a turbo one 04 and a 2011 gtcs rn. Now I’m going towards the bikes. I travel a lot to work so it’s going to be more convenient on gas for sure
I've been riding a very long time. I think this is a good video. If anything, I would say to tell newbies More to check their mirrors. Know what's around you at all times.
Appreciate the tutorial bro. I am new to the riding scene. Looking forward to the day I get one of those GSXR 600. Riding in the Bay Area is stupid dangerous with these Distracted Drivers on their phones and narrow lanes. Definitely recommend taking the two day riding course. It will help with reduce your insurance cost and excuse you from taking the DMV riding test. I totally agree with more practices. It will keep you safer on the road and less chance of laying down your bike.
I started on a ZX6R. Watch out for cars pulling out in front of you, some drivers aren’t paying attention and they don’t see you. I’ve had a few incidents where I had to emergency brake or swerve to avoid crashing. Good advice on don’t try to be Rossi out there at first because there will be times vehicles don’t see you.
Yeah man I'm actually thinking about selling my bike because of all the bad drivers out there.. which is sad but I have babies at home to worry about. Sucks because riding is a something I love
@@jacobmontes5000 haha it went well except one piece of advice ride for 1-2 months as much as you can before riding with a group. I put 1k miles on my 600 in one month. Take it slow for 1-2 weeks ride as much as you can before hoping on a highway master your downshifts.
im a lil late to this. but i enjoyed this, about to buy me a 600 (first bike) just bc ill be using it on highway. But i love how you urgently say how cautious to be. the deer part got me crying as i can relate living in KY.
Appreciate it! Yeah man been riding for about 4 years now had 2 bikes, no accidents. Just have to be a really defensive rider and you'll be good. Ride safe out there man!
Just picked up a 98 cbr 600 f3 this video really helped alot I started riding on 2 stroke dirt bikes converted to street rideable but never happend to sit on a street bike till I bought my cbr
If you ever park on a hill remember to put your bike into first gear not neutral also keep a can or flat rock bigger than your kickstand like a piece of tile to go under your kickstand if you park on graven or dirt
I recommend any CBR650/GSX650. More down low torque, more upright, more stable, cheaper to buy/insure and just as good looking. 2008 GSX650 specifically being a fantastic option.
what about R6? everyone sais zero torque down low ( not too much), wouldnt it be better for a first bike. The bike that has not much torque/power untill 8k rpm, sounds easier to ride for a begginer in the town. more civilized no?
@@kerstas10 Good point, low end torque is exactly the reason why the old 1000cc superbikes were so bloody dangerous for the inexperienced riders and why most sportsbikes today have selectable powermappings//TC
@@kerstas10 nah, r6 is an aggressive bike. If you wanna learn to be a good rider, then do just that… become a beast on a normal bike and when you get on the r6 you will be way better than if you started on it.
You seem to have a lot of common sense! That's why starting on the 600 is ok for you. Don't be a hero, get comfortable with everything because if there's a surprise on the road, it will be more second nature how to react. You want to live to ride another day! also.... I love the colour! Great vid!!
I'm 5'2 115 lbs. My new 150cc Chinese scooter with Low 28 inch seat height is a Beast for me. It's my first gas motorized bike. At 200 lbs it's Huge and Heavy compared to my 38 mph 48v 1000watt hub motor Ebike (26 inch mountain bike) which was around 120 lbs. Everyone says it's a small bike and I know people smaller than I ride those and much larger bikes. I just have to learn the proper techniques that work for me.
Just bough my very first bike last week, its a 2021 Gsxr 600 and its been chilling in my home waiting for the crash bars I bough online, hopefully by next week ill be able to ride it.
Smart move with those crash bars I got the bike in one of my videos but a guy I rode with us and as we were getting gas in the parking not he dropped and it had like 300 miles on it a 2021 gsxr all white metallic paint with baby blue specks. Lets just say it ruined his mood for the whole day lol, ride safe man!
@@patrickmba7638 well I know if I have power modes I will just leave it in the lowest mode for the 1st year and I am overweight from all my surgeries so this will slow the bike down till I get back down to my goal weight. Cheers🙂
@@stormyweather2837: I guess being able to put the bike in a low power mode will help. But if u will ever use even a third of the capacity of the bike, with speed limit restrictions everywhere, is another thing to look at. Even on tracks, most people seem to use lower cc bikes.
Thank you bro! im glad I could help! As a rider of a few years I kinda remember what it was like to stress about something I wanted to do so I wanted to make it as simple as possible. Let me know if there is anything that will help you out I will definitely make a video about it 👌
@@1Down5UpOfficial I appreciate your time and engagement with the community you're building and for sure if I have any doubts or questions as the day of getting the bike get closer I'll be sure to hit you up here to ask thanks!
same here started on a 09 zx6r, 3k miles paid 6250$, can u start on a 600 yeah should you na. Especially if you’re brand new with no manual car experience / dirt bike / pit bike etc
You'll be surprised how fast a bike can get up to 100 mph without you even noticing though haha ride safe bro 👌and congrats on the bike always the coolest feeling when you get your own bike 💪
I started on a 600 and practiced in the parking lot of a church across the street from my house for 2 WEEKS, just to become friendly with the throttle response, shifting and braking at my own pace.. After the 2 weeks i felt confident enough to make that right turn out of the church lot onto the actual street into the actual traffic pattern.. I stalled at the first 2 lights, but i rode in my city, NOT THE INTERSTATE for about an hour and i had a good time , got home with no problems… 3 years later ive been riding NO accidents, but i never get on the highway! Lol its just for fun and i only ride city, YOUR mileage may vary, and everyone has their own reasons for wanting to ride a motorcycle! Like this guy said, a 600 gsxr is not a toy, and you will get killed or hurt bad if you dont respect it.. Just dont act like a fucking nut, wear ALL protective gear, ride within your limits and you wont get hurt! liked and subscribed by the way!.. Safe riding folks.. Cheers✌️
Thanks for sharing man! that's awesome that's pretty much how I was but I also love riding on the highway, especially with the bros lol. Yeah you can definitely ride safe for years if you're smart and pay attention 💪
@@1Down5UpOfficial True that! Once the weather breaks ( i live in Maryland) , i may gather the confidence to hit the highway for the first time. Watching your tutorials, i think i will go ahead and ease on to the highway next spring/Summer.. By the way you have a nice channel man, i will continue to follow. 👍
No problem bro these comments are the best, glad I could help. If there's anything else you want to know just leave a comment 💪 ride safe out there bro! Subscribe lol
hoping to get an 06 gsxr 600 before the year ends and ive never even been on a bike yet but this video has helped a lot, i know how to drive manual cars so that might help a bit with the clutch/gear changing
@@1Down5UpOfficialyessir always, i plan to just daily it to work/gym and use my car whenever it rains or whatever. had a friend that died on a bike cuz he was drunk tryna show off so i def dont want to do that to myself and others,always be safe🫡🫶🏼
I got a 21 cbr 500 for my first bike .. I’m a gsxr girll all the way . When I sat in gxsr it just felt heavier than what I was comfortable with so after much debate I got the cbr500 . Then I realize my bike is just as heavier lil heavier than gsxr so I will be getting some practice in and then get a 21 600 gxsr the pearl white and red !!!
Top video bro! Picked up my k7 600 few weeks back. UK weather so been even worse getting used to it, rode it too work before Xmas bad idea when you work on a quarry😂.. 2 big questions! 1 is where did you get the headlight covers and can it fit to 07? And 2. How do you (do you have a vid?) adjust the foot pegs.. I’m 5’11 and too big for it, knees to high when riding almost got to lift the knee to shift
In few days I'm getting myself a GSXR600 as my first street bike, I've riding quads for +20 years (sand dunes mainly) as well as scooters and recently I got a dirt bike and I'm still learning, now street driving is different than off road driving but I'm so excited 🤩 any tips ? I'm from Dubai.
I got a 2015 FZ6R as my first bike back in June! Just crossed 10,000 miles on odometer 👌 I had never rode a motorcycle even up until I purchased it. It's been a blast so far, definitely enough power to have some fun.
Learned on a 02 gsxr 750 then upgraded to a 07 k7 gsxr 1000 orange and black. Never drove a 600. My k7 has almost 8k miles. You can get any cc bike to start, just remember you can't go ham on the throttle.
@@1Down5UpOfficial I was told the same thing, just got a ZX10R for my first bike nearly a month ago and it’s turned out great for me, even tested my friends R1 it’s all about clutch control and throttle control, once u have that u can ride any bike 💯
Thanks for the info Will be getting a 600 for my first bike here soon. And definitely as excited as I am and all the videos that I watch I'm also terrified😂
@@1Down5UpOfficial I totally get it I ride bicycles down here in Florida and every day I feel like I'm getting ready to be a cheeseburger on somebody's grill 😬 there's a lot of tech I've noticed too now on bikes. A lot of which I think can be good for new riders but then I also want to keep it simple too. I know there probably is no difference between the 600s as a first bike but I am at the moment leaning between the GSXR or the ZX6R... If you have an opinion let me know, it being my first bike I tend to keep those kind of things!
I've had a 2008 zx6r and currently a 2008 gsxr 600 both are great bikes IMO. Zx6rs tend to have more of an aggressive seating position than gsxrs, so gsxrs are probably more comfortable for newer riders since they sit a bit lower. At the end of the day they are both japanese bikes, so they are both reliable as long as they weren't beat up by the previous owner. It's more of a person preference at that point. If you buy a gsxr get ready for the gay jokes 💀😭
@@1Down5UpOfficial yeah Gixxer squids take it up the butt 😆 I get the stigma...I don't give a s*** thank you for your opinion and your help brother! I'll keep you posted on my journey and I'll keep watching yours!
How come you say let the clutch slowly but when your changing gears form 2 to 3rd and so on your Doing it fast( your just press the clutch and release it quick)
When you're going fast and pull the clutch in to change gears, you don't need to let it out slowly. When you're first pulling out, if you dump the clutch and your giving too little throttle it will stall. If you are giving too much you will pop a wheelie
my first bike (just bought it less than 3 months ago) is a Triumph Street Twin 900cc. It's DEFINITELY no sportbike but it's quick enough that it'll get you if you're not paying attention. I agree that sure, people can do it on a 600cc sportbike but it really depends on the person. Low speed practice in parking lots daily goes a long way. 15mintes a day in a parking lot will go far.
That's how I started bro 👌 riding around at 1 am. when no cars where around 😂 it's been 5 years since then and no accidents yet thank God 🙏 be safe bro
I’m a young adult and looking for a bike for my first and I have Been told by at least 6 of my friends that this would be a perfect starter bike for me
I honestly thought that was a 1000 cause of the Cyclops headlight. I could’ve sworn only 1000s had that. We learn something new everyday mayne 😂. Love the bike I plan on getting a 20-23 GSXR 600
I started on dirt bikes, but my first street bike was 2001 gsxr 600, it was a fun bike thinking about getting another.. things that will fuck you up, going into turns too fast, giving too much gas while turning, big egos riding while mad and not focusing on the road.
@1Down5UpOfficial any tips for riding my bike home safely with a friend for the first time? It's a 2 hour ride, but I want to make it fun and not stupid
If it's your first time you need to take it slow bro, if your friend knows it's your first time they should understand. About an hour in you should get the hang of it but learning the clutch is the hardest part when you come to a stop so you might stall alot lol
@1Down5UpOfficial I know how to operate the clutch, I've ridden dirt bikes before but it's been awhile. I do know how to use the clutch and know what I'm doing as far as using the clutch. But I've never ridden a crotch rocket.
Oh ok you should be good then bro just take it slow fr and always watch the cars around you. Some tips, always look where you want to go it makes it easier to turn. Never brake in a turn, always brake before the turn. And change gears don't stay in first gear the whole time. That was my mistake riding my first bike for an hour for the first time lol it over heated and didn't turn on for a second, but then I was good 👌
Bruh...do still have the bike? That color is sick... What's the color name? A gsxr 600 is on my bucket list 😁 Safe riding brother Much blessings 🙌 🏍🏍🏍😎😎😎
Yeah I still have it and I'm not even sure what it's called the first owner painted over the original fairings. It used to be yellow, silver, and black lol. Appreciate you bro, hopefully you get a bike soon 🙏
@1Down5UpOfficial I see... Love the yellow color combo...something different, but yours was painted over the fairings...interesting color. Ty for the response. Safe riding Much blessings 🙌 🏍🏍🏍😎😎😎💪💪💪💪
A state trooper will come out of the trees lol 😂 I’m trying to pay attention cause I never driven a bike ever I hate manual cars but I found a gsxr 600 for cheap so I’m really interested in this video u are teaching me bro
gonna be a while, im 15 and my grandparents DEFINITELY dont want me on a bike, may have ot wait until im 18 which is okay. im just so anxious it looks so fun
I’m 15 too lucky my parents don’t care about me said I could get it been saving luckily they aren’t that expensive (2007 models of the 600) so I’ll hopefully have enough this next summer when I turn 16 said they would help me buy it so I can’t wait
I just got my motorcycle temps on Monday! I'm in my late 30's and always wanted to try it. I've been driving a Mazda Miata for the last 7ish years and I had a Toyota MR2 Turbo before that, so I'm used to light weight, rear wheel drive vehicles with manual transmissions. I did panic in my Miata, and stomped the gas, and spun around and broke the wheel and ended up in the grass. I know that I need to not do that on a motorcycle. I rode my dad's old Honda Trail 70 when I was a kid, and that had gears and a clutch and everything, so I know how to do it. What all should I get to test drive a bike? Is a helmet and gloves enough? Should I wear long pants?
I would wear full gear if you're just starting out. It's tricky getting used to it at first especially if you've never ride before. Always wear gear bro 🤙 be safe out there
The motor blew because the previous owner rebuilt the engine and never told me. I actually really like both of them. But they are both 2008 bikes and I love the way the gsxr looks compared to the zx
My first bike is a Kawasaki zx6r I never ridden a bike before and I been riding a year now and ready to upgrade to a zx10r so yes it can be done as long as you respect the bike and don’t ride outside of your skill level
Bought an 2001 SV650 for my first bike I still have it and still ride it bought my wife a ninja 250 but she won't ride it so I guess I have another bike 😂 250-400 are usually ideal starter bikes but nothing wrong with starting on a 600 just be careful and don't do stupid shit and you'll be ok
I noticed you released the clutch pretty fast at higher speeds, is that due to being in higher gears or is it just a controlled quick release due to your experience?
Assuming you mean as opposed to when you first pull out, at like a stopsign or a redlight. Yeah, when you are going normal speeds always do it quickly when you shift gears, you don't have to let the clutch out slowly. Just be careful when you release the clutch always make sure you're not still twisting the throttle. That's called a clutch up and how you do a wheelie. So 1.) let off the throttle, 2.) pull in the clutch, 3.)shift, 4.) let the clutch go,5.) then back on the throttle again.
@zacharyacker6664 No problem bro be safe out there, congrats man! 1 tip huge tip I would give you, is to be a very defensive rider, always watching people around you and anticipate their moves, and you'll be good 👌
Im 19 Bought one yesterday never rode 2 wheelers in my life my boy taught me how to ride, with in 20 minutes I was on the streets today I hoped on the highway
I'm was planning to buy this bike but i changed my mind, I'm going for zx6r because I like the 2019 and latest design....I'm not a beginner tho but not super expert too, right in the middle
Subscribed. Great video bro u explained it well for a mf who never rode. I know how but defiantly good video not many like this. Bouta grab my first bike real soon here
Btw ... I like your red paint , looks like candy apple red in a way ... Yes rear brakes are my best friend , it keeps me out of trouble more than front brake.
I know that this video was posted 2 years ago, but I'm curious about one thing, I've never ridden a bike. and im planning to buy Honda CBR 600 RR 2005 as my first bike, do you think I can handle it? (I am 16 years old btw)
I would get something a little slower, smaller bikes are cheaper to buy, cheaper on insurance, and cheaper to maintain. Hope you get a bike soon man 🙏 ride safe!
My fist bike was a zx7r. No problem whatsoever. Thing is whatever bike you get, go practice slow maneuvering a bunch. Don’t just get on the road and go at it. Make sure you are comfortable and understand that even a 600 is very powerful and not respecting that can get you in a bad situation

@@nicholastoufos9178 thanks for the advice man deff will keep that in mind for sure!
Eye-catchy custom paint job. Nice video. keep up the good work.
Thank you seriously appreciate it 💪
im a lil late to this. but i enjoyed this, about to buy me a 600 (first bike) just bc ill be using it on highway. But i love how you urgently say how cautious to be. the deer part got me crying as i can relate living in KY.
Appreciate it! Yeah man been riding for about 4 years now had 2 bikes, no accidents. Just have to be a really defensive rider and you'll be good. Ride safe out there man!
@@1Down5UpOfficial exactly, getting comfortable with the bike will be the first thing i do, no need to do anything crazy
Just picked up a 98 cbr 600 f3 this video really helped alot I started riding on 2 stroke dirt bikes converted to street rideable but never happend to sit on a street bike till I bought my cbr
Glad I could help 💪 ride safe man! Lots of idiot drivers out there lol
@1Down5UpOfficial yea lots especially here in Ontario Canada
I have never seen such a beautiful color on a bike.
Crazy right 🔥
@@1Down5UpOfficial Is this repainted cuz i don't see such color on youtube?
Yeah the previous owner repainted it metallic red
@@1Down5UpOfficial that color is way better than what companies choose for their motorbikes. What an eye catching color combination man.
I know it's crazy lol
My first bike was a ZX9-R. Easy to ride or drive anything. Learned the. Took a riding course. No ego here, just skill.
Yeah as long as you take it slow I feel like anybody can learn on any size bike 💪 ride safe man
Just got this as my first bike, honestly it feels quite easy in every way as long as you are under 8k rpm in B mode lol.
I forgot this thing has modes lmfao. Congrats bro 🤙 ride safe
I just picked up a gsxr 1000 this bike is fast as f but love it ride safe bro good video
Thank you! You too man 💪
If you ever park on a hill remember to put your bike into first gear not neutral also keep a can or flat rock bigger than your kickstand like a piece of tile to go under your kickstand if you park on graven or dirt
I recommend any CBR650/GSX650.
More down low torque, more upright, more stable, cheaper to buy/insure and just as good looking. 2008 GSX650 specifically being a fantastic option.
what about R6? everyone sais zero torque down low ( not too much), wouldnt it be better for a first bike. The bike that has not much torque/power untill 8k rpm, sounds easier to ride for a begginer in the town. more civilized no?
@@kerstas10
Good point, low end torque is exactly the reason why the old 1000cc superbikes were so bloody dangerous for the inexperienced riders and why most sportsbikes today have selectable powermappings//TC
@@kerstas10 nah, r6 is an aggressive bike. If you wanna learn to be a good rider, then do just that… become a beast on a normal bike and when you get on the r6 you will be way better than if you started on it.
You seem to have a lot of common sense! That's why starting on the 600 is ok for you. Don't be a hero, get comfortable with everything because if there's a surprise on the road, it will be more second nature how to react. You want to live to ride another day! also.... I love the colour! Great vid!!
Thank you!!
i love this vid😭 it just feels like not to stressful or serious, just little laughs every once im awhile
Thanks! I appreciate it!
I'm 5'2 115 lbs. My new 150cc Chinese scooter with Low 28 inch seat height is a Beast for me. It's my first gas motorized bike. At 200 lbs it's Huge and Heavy compared to my 38 mph 48v 1000watt hub motor Ebike (26 inch mountain bike) which was around 120 lbs. Everyone says it's a small bike and I know people smaller than I ride those and much larger bikes. I just have to learn the proper techniques that work for me.
Just bough my very first bike last week, its a 2021 Gsxr 600 and its been chilling in my home waiting for the crash bars I bough online, hopefully by next week ill be able to ride it.
Smart move with those crash bars I got the bike in one of my videos but a guy I rode with us and as we were getting gas in the parking not he dropped and it had like 300 miles on it a 2021 gsxr all white metallic paint with baby blue specks. Lets just say it ruined his mood for the whole day lol, ride safe man!
Just got me a 06 gsxr 600 with an M4 exhaust literally yesterday. Things filthy.
Congrats bro 💪 be safe out there
Your video helps a lot I’m about to get my first bike Suzuki 600 I’m going to keep following you for more tips
Thanks bro that means alot! hoping to post soon, it's been pretty cold in PA
I loved the way you explained everything. You are awesome bro. U got a new subscriber.

Awesome video!! After watching this I feel safe to buy a Gsxr 1000 for my first bike. Thanks for the lesson 🙂 also I subscribe for more good video !
Thank you!
For a first bike? That is very.....brave?
@@patrickmba7638 well I know if I have power modes I will just leave it in the lowest mode for the 1st year and I am overweight from all my surgeries so this will slow the bike down till I get back down to my goal weight. Cheers🙂
@@stormyweather2837: I guess being able to put the bike in a low power mode will help. But if u will ever use even a third of the capacity of the bike, with speed limit restrictions everywhere, is another thing to look at. Even on tracks, most people seem to use lower cc bikes.
picking up my 2014 GSXR 600 today, very excited to say the least but nice video!
Potential new rider hopefully fingers crossed here, your vid was a godsent bro so informative and helpful. Appreciate it a lot stay safe!
Thank you bro! im glad I could help! As a rider of a few years I kinda remember what it was like to stress about something I wanted to do so I wanted to make it as simple as possible. Let me know if there is anything that will help you out I will definitely make a video about it 👌

Thats awesome, I just got me my first bike 600cc. Thanks for the video
No problem man!
Just picked up a gsxr 609 yesterday, can’t wait
Congrats bro! Ride safe man fr 💪
Love this vid man, I’m going to try to get a bike for my birthday next year. I wanna start on a 600cc and have no experience on a bike before
I started on a 600 and practiced in the parking lot of a church across the street from my house for 2 WEEKS, just to become friendly with the throttle response, shifting and braking at my own pace.. After the 2 weeks i felt confident enough to make that right turn out of the church lot onto the actual street into the actual traffic pattern.. I stalled at the first 2 lights, but i rode in my city, NOT THE INTERSTATE for about an hour and i had a good time , got home with no problems… 3 years later ive been riding NO accidents, but i never get on the highway! Lol its just for fun and i only ride city, YOUR mileage may vary, and everyone has their own reasons for wanting to ride a motorcycle! Like this guy said, a 600 gsxr is not a toy, and you will get killed or hurt bad if you dont respect it.. Just dont act like a fucking nut, wear ALL protective gear, ride within your limits and you wont get hurt! liked and subscribed by the way!.. Safe riding folks.. Cheers✌️
Thanks for sharing man! that's awesome that's pretty much how I was but I also love riding on the highway, especially with the bros lol. Yeah you can definitely ride safe for years if you're smart and pay attention 💪
@@1Down5UpOfficial True that! Once the weather breaks ( i live in Maryland) , i may gather the confidence to hit the highway for the first time. Watching your tutorials, i think i will go ahead and ease on to the highway next spring/Summer.. By the way you have a nice channel man, i will continue to follow. 👍
thanks broo this was so helpful for me, getting my bike license soon, your humour got me dying too hahah
No problem bro these comments are the best, glad I could help. If there's anything else you want to know just leave a comment 💪 ride safe out there bro! Subscribe lol
hoping to get an 06 gsxr 600 before the year ends and ive never even been on a bike yet but this video has helped a lot, i know how to drive manual cars so that might help a bit with the clutch/gear changing
If you know how to drive stick, you'll catch on alot faster bro 👌 be safe out there
@@1Down5UpOfficialyessir always, i plan to just daily it to work/gym and use my car whenever it rains or whatever. had a friend that died on a bike cuz he was drunk tryna show off so i def dont want to do that to myself and others,always be safe🫡🫶🏼
great video. funny as hell made me laugh several times. very informative and honest. no bullshit and helpful. thanks bro
Appreciate it bro! 🙏
Thanks bro. Just bought one today and this helped ❤️
I'm glad bro 🙏 come spring time I'm gonna be uploading alot more, ride safe out there 💪
I got a 21 cbr 500 for my first bike .. I’m a gsxr girll all the way . When I sat in gxsr it just felt heavier than what I was comfortable with so after much debate I got the cbr500 . Then I realize my bike is just as heavier lil heavier than gsxr so I will be getting some practice in and then get a 21 600 gxsr the pearl white and red !!!
That's awesome! At Least you'll have it down before you jump on a bigger bike you'll definitely feel the power difference. Ride safe!
Top video bro! Picked up my k7 600 few weeks back. UK weather so been even worse getting used to it, rode it too work before Xmas bad idea when you work on a quarry😂.. 2 big questions! 1 is where did you get the headlight covers and can it fit to 07? And 2. How do you (do you have a vid?) adjust the foot pegs.. I’m 5’11 and too big for it, knees to high when riding almost got to lift the knee to shift
In few days I'm getting myself a GSXR600 as my first street bike, I've riding quads for +20 years (sand dunes mainly) as well as scooters and recently I got a dirt bike and I'm still learning, now street driving is different than off road driving but I'm so excited 🤩 any tips ? I'm from Dubai.
Congrats bro 👏👏 biggest tips. Never stop while you're turning, always look where you want to go, always be a defensive rider. Be safe out there man! 🙏
Great video brotha!
Thank you 🙏
Just bought my first bike and it's a 2013 FZ6R, and i fucking love it
Ride safe man! 💪
I got a 2015 FZ6R as my first bike back in June! Just crossed 10,000 miles on odometer 👌 I had never rode a motorcycle even up until I purchased it. It's been a blast so far, definitely enough power to have some fun.
Learned on a 02 gsxr 750 then upgraded to a 07 k7 gsxr 1000 orange and black. Never drove a 600. My k7 has almost 8k miles. You can get any cc bike to start, just remember you can't go ham on the throttle.
Exactly! 👌 ride safe bro
@@1Down5UpOfficial I was told the same thing, just got a ZX10R for my first bike nearly a month ago and it’s turned out great for me, even tested my friends R1 it’s all about clutch control and throttle control, once u have that u can ride any bike 💯
Thanks for the info Will be getting a 600 for my first bike here soon. And definitely as excited as I am and all the videos that I watch I'm also terrified😂
Definitely an adrenaline rush lol I still remember the first time I rode a bike. Be safe out there bro people can't drive lol
@@1Down5UpOfficial I totally get it I ride bicycles down here in Florida and every day I feel like I'm getting ready to be a cheeseburger on somebody's grill 😬 there's a lot of tech I've noticed too now on bikes. A lot of which I think can be good for new riders but then I also want to keep it simple too. I know there probably is no difference between the 600s as a first bike but I am at the moment leaning between the GSXR or the ZX6R... If you have an opinion let me know, it being my first bike I tend to keep those kind of things!
I've had a 2008 zx6r and currently a 2008 gsxr 600 both are great bikes IMO. Zx6rs tend to have more of an aggressive seating position than gsxrs, so gsxrs are probably more comfortable for newer riders since they sit a bit lower. At the end of the day they are both japanese bikes, so they are both reliable as long as they weren't beat up by the previous owner. It's more of a person preference at that point. If you buy a gsxr get ready for the gay jokes 💀😭
@@1Down5UpOfficial yeah Gixxer squids take it up the butt 😆 I get the stigma...I don't give a s*** thank you for your opinion and your help brother! I'll keep you posted on my journey and I'll keep watching yours!
Appreciate you bro 🙏 be safe out there
How come you say let the clutch slowly but when your changing gears form 2 to 3rd and so on your Doing it fast( your just press the clutch and release it quick)
When you're going fast and pull the clutch in to change gears, you don't need to let it out slowly. When you're first pulling out, if you dump the clutch and your giving too little throttle it will stall. If you are giving too much you will pop a wheelie
getting ready to buy a bike finally, can you do a video on slowing down when you're in the higher gears, please and thank you.
👌 congrats bro and yeah ill work on it, ride safe out there bro
Man u make it look eeeeasy. Ty for the vid, it was great
No problem bro glad I could help 💪🔥
Appreciate this bro bout to watch all these now lol
Glad I could help bro fr. Be safe out there 🙏
my first bike (just bought it less than 3 months ago) is a Triumph Street Twin 900cc. It's DEFINITELY no sportbike but it's quick enough that it'll get you if you're not paying attention. I agree that sure, people can do it on a 600cc sportbike but it really depends on the person. Low speed practice in parking lots daily goes a long way. 15mintes a day in a parking lot will go far.
That's how I started bro 👌 riding around at 1 am. when no cars where around 😂 it's been 5 years since then and no accidents yet thank God 🙏 be safe bro
What brand/ type of frame sliders/ protectors are those or were did you order them????
I’m a young adult and looking for a bike for my first and I have Been told by at least 6 of my friends that this would be a perfect starter bike for me
I’m starting out in a 50cc nostalgia (idk shit bout bikes and wanted to learn) but definitely my dream is to own a 600cc with a shorty pipe 😈
Bro bikes are probably the best thing ever created lol stay safe out there bro 💪
@@1Down5UpOfficial BET! i even got my girl into riding my bike hahaha
Where you at in PA? Great video man. I’ve rode bikes before. My first was an ‘82 GS450. Monday I’m picking up a ‘03 GSXR. My first sport bike.

I honestly thought that was a 1000 cause of the Cyclops headlight. I could’ve sworn only 1000s had that. We learn something new everyday mayne 😂. Love the bike I plan on getting a 20-23 GSXR 600
Nice bro 👌 be safe out there
I started on dirt bikes, but my first street bike was 2001 gsxr 600, it was a fun bike thinking about getting another.. things that will fuck you up, going into turns too fast, giving too much gas while turning, big egos riding while mad and not focusing on the road.
Very informative thanks, my first bike is going to be a 2003 suzuki gsx R750
Awesome man ride safe out there 🤙
@1Down5UpOfficial any tips for riding my bike home safely with a friend for the first time? It's a 2 hour ride, but I want to make it fun and not stupid
If it's your first time you need to take it slow bro, if your friend knows it's your first time they should understand. About an hour in you should get the hang of it but learning the clutch is the hardest part when you come to a stop so you might stall alot lol
@1Down5UpOfficial I know how to operate the clutch, I've ridden dirt bikes before but it's been awhile. I do know how to use the clutch and know what I'm doing as far as using the clutch. But I've never ridden a crotch rocket.
Oh ok you should be good then bro just take it slow fr and always watch the cars around you. Some tips, always look where you want to go it makes it easier to turn. Never brake in a turn, always brake before the turn. And change gears don't stay in first gear the whole time. That was my mistake riding my first bike for an hour for the first time lol it over heated and didn't turn on for a second, but then I was good 👌
Bruh...do still have the bike?
That color is sick...
What's the color name?
A gsxr 600 is on my bucket list 😁
Safe riding brother
Much blessings 🙌
🏍🏍🏍😎😎😎
Yeah I still have it and I'm not even sure what it's called the first owner painted over the original fairings. It used to be yellow, silver, and black lol. Appreciate you bro, hopefully you get a bike soon 🙏

Love the yellow color combo...something different, but yours was painted over the fairings...interesting color.
Ty for the response.
Safe riding

🏍🏍🏍😎😎😎💪💪💪💪
A state trooper will come out of the trees lol 😂 I’m trying to pay attention cause I never driven a bike ever I hate manual cars but I found a gsxr 600 for cheap so I’m really interested in this video u are teaching me bro
gonna be a while, im 15 and my grandparents DEFINITELY dont want me on a bike, may have ot wait until im 18 which is okay. im just so anxious it looks so fun
I’m 15 too lucky my parents don’t care about me said I could get it been saving luckily they aren’t that expensive (2007 models of the 600) so I’ll hopefully have enough this next summer when I turn 16 said they would help me buy it so I can’t wait
Can you do a video on turning on a bike I just got a 2016 Suzuki GSXR 600 I’m doing okay for my first bike just having trouble with the turning 😂
I gotchu bro I posted one not too long ago its called "How to Countersteer" 👌
I just jumped on a bike and went for it back in the day.Luckily it had a fraction of the power of modern bikes !
I just got my motorcycle temps on Monday! I'm in my late 30's and always wanted to try it. I've been driving a Mazda Miata for the last 7ish years and I had a Toyota MR2 Turbo before that, so I'm used to light weight, rear wheel drive vehicles with manual transmissions. I did panic in my Miata, and stomped the gas, and spun around and broke the wheel and ended up in the grass. I know that I need to not do that on a motorcycle. I rode my dad's old Honda Trail 70 when I was a kid, and that had gears and a clutch and everything, so I know how to do it.
What all should I get to test drive a bike? Is a helmet and gloves enough? Should I wear long pants?
I would wear full gear if you're just starting out. It's tricky getting used to it at first especially if you've never ride before. Always wear gear bro 🤙 be safe out there
what happened to your zx6r? and which do you like better? gsxr or zx?
The motor blew because the previous owner rebuilt the engine and never told me. I actually really like both of them. But they are both 2008 bikes and I love the way the gsxr looks compared to the zx
My first bike is a Kawasaki zx6r I never ridden a bike before and I been riding a year now and ready to upgrade to a zx10r so yes it can be done as long as you respect the bike and don’t ride outside of your skill level
%100 💪
absolutely gorgeous bike. im currently in a cbr300r and tryna decide between a cb650r and a cbr600rr
yes lol I like the big tire lol
does it get annoying not having abs or traction control or a fuel guage?
Bought an 2001 SV650 for my first bike I still have it and still ride it bought my wife a ninja 250 but she won't ride it so I guess I have another bike 😂 250-400 are usually ideal starter bikes but nothing wrong with starting on a 600 just be careful and don't do stupid shit and you'll be ok
I noticed you released the clutch pretty fast at higher speeds, is that due to being in higher gears or is it just a controlled quick release due to your experience?
Assuming you mean as opposed to when you first pull out, at like a stopsign or a redlight. Yeah, when you are going normal speeds always do it quickly when you shift gears, you don't have to let the clutch out slowly. Just be careful when you release the clutch always make sure you're not still twisting the throttle. That's called a clutch up and how you do a wheelie. So 1.) let off the throttle, 2.) pull in the clutch, 3.)shift, 4.) let the clutch go,5.) then back on the throttle again.
@@1Down5UpOfficial Perfect thank you so much for the response, going to pick up my 24 ZX6R in February super excited!
@zacharyacker6664 No problem bro be safe out there, congrats man! 1 tip huge tip I would give you, is to be a very defensive rider, always watching people around you and anticipate their moves, and you'll be good 👌
Hey thank you man. What about keeping it in “B” mode for the first while???
It'll definitely be harder bro, since it limits the power of the bike
Im 19 Bought one yesterday never rode 2 wheelers in my life my boy taught me how to ride, with in 20 minutes I was on the streets today I hoped on the highway
Be safe out there bro, congrats on the new bike 🤙
My dream bike is the Suzuki gsxr600 , can't wait. Student debt sucks lol

2005 as my first bike, do you think I can handle it? (I am 16 years old btw)
I would get something a little slower, smaller bikes are cheaper to buy, cheaper on insurance, and cheaper to maintain. Hope you get a bike soon man 🙏 ride safe!
