- In today's video, we take our new Daytona 660 for its inaugural ride. It's been an incredible experience with this amazing bike. I discuss the safety classes I completed and how they've helped me handle riding so effectively. This marks my very first time riding a motorcycle, which has definitely been daunting, but it's a common challenge for every new rider.

Congratulations, cool bike you own. I started on an MT09SP, you will like the 3 cylinder. All the best to you!
I remember just starting to ride two and a half years ago. I stayed in my neighborhood and I didn’t get on the main roads for 2 weeks. Honestly, that’s a good way to practice. It’s nice that you have that parking lot there. It’ll definitely help to practice slow speed there.
Oh yeah, we use a couple lots around us to practice slow speed stuff. Slow speed cornering was my biggest struggle when I was taking the msf training.
Love your first ride. Most people would never share their first ride lmao. "We were here first" lol
My first ride I almost hit a giant bird.
My first bike was a Ninja ZX6R and I survived. Depends on the person and throttle control. You can always keep your 660 in rain mode for a few rides or until your first service. Check ego at the door and avoid large group rides. Someone always seems to go down on large group rides going outside their comfort level. Have fun and be safe.
lol i agree most wouldn’t but hey, we all start somewhere. Just wanted to show the passion and how it went for anyone thinking about riding as well. Oh yeah I plan on leaving it rain mode for a long while’s the bike as is in rain mode is WAY more then enough bike for me. Yooo those are some Nice bikes!!! Yeah for the moment just riding in my small group with friends! Thanks!
Got the Trident just last summer. Great bike to start on. I got the quick shifter installed after the first service and to be honest I wish I didn't. It takes away from learning how to shift properly. It had an issue with a sensor and stopped working this year so I went a couple months with it not working. I really enjoyed learning how to blip the throttle during a downshift. I also have had issues getting into neutral since getting it. Before it just clicked into place and now I need to fish around and move the bike a bit to get it to find neutral.
Outside of that the bike has been fantastic to learn on. Came off of a Ninja 400 which I did not find comfy at 6'3 so I switched. The Trident is way easier to ride, especially during slow speed stuff.
Good luck in your journey and ride safe!
well thanks for the comment! I’ve been considering getting the quick shifter but if it doesn’t even last a year i don’t know if i want it then. It’s a lot of money to not have it work. You go man be safe!
A fellow razorback I see! That’s definitely Springdale area we are close to each other. Like 1 town away
I see daytona 660, I subscribe! ride safe bro
Awesome first bike man, glad you didn't get a cheap POS bike like most people recommend. There are so many options now compared to the 2000's. Back then the only options were a shitty ninja 250 or a supersport if you wanted a sports bike. We work hard for our money and earned a nice toy 👍
Absolutely! The 660cc bike, while yes, is more significant. From my personal experience as long as you have some self control and don’t rip it while still inexperienced. It’s a fantastic bike to get into! I couldn’t agree more!
It would be best if you were using engine braking while coming to a stop, when you get to 1st gear and about to stop release the clutch so you get that engine breaking, and when you are almost at a stop pull the clutch in. and my instructor has told me to always use rear break when in 1st gear cause it will better your control in slow speeds
Really! I’ll give it go next time on the road! Thanks for the advice! Be safe and have fun out there!
@@Spartan_660 im gonna 2nd the usage of the rear brake in slow speeds, it helps immensely
Which Cardo did you buy?
I bought the Cardo pack talk edge. 100% worth it!
have you noticed that the bike wants to shift around 4k rpm seems a bit odd i hope its just break in period shenanigins
Currently yes, the bike 100% wants to be shifted very early. I did speak to my local dealership and it’s 100% due to the break in period. Once I hit 600 miles the bike will open up!
I’ve got the same bike I picked it up this week I also called the dealership after my first ride 😂
Make a video after the 600 miles cuz that’s the bike I want to get and want to know your thoughts on it
Sure can, at 600 miles I’ll be at break in and having to take the bike to get its first service.
@@Spartan_660 and was it hard finding the Daytona 660?
@@alexalvarez7243kinda of, so my dealership had 3 of them. One that got sold 4 hours before I made it to the dealership and one that a guy bought the next day. So all 3 they had sold within 2 days of each other. That being said they were also running a promotion that would discount $500 so I think that also helped. The other two were white and thankfully the red one wasn’t sold
@@Spartan_660 I’d appreciate it because like I said I really like that bike. I’m trying to find one around my area.
Only in MERICA. wow cant believe they let you do this.
Huh? I'm not sure I understand what you mean?
@@Spartan_660 in europe they have to graduate to a bigger bike. their license system makes them start on a much smaller, lower powered bike. the new daytona isnt a true supersport though, so its not quite like starting on a r6 or zx6r or something. im sure yammie noob wouldnt recomend you starting on a daytona 660, but its not quite as bad as starting on a true supersport.
This is not considered a supersport nor is it advertised as such. It is a sports bike but not on the same level as a supersport. While I appreciate Yammie as a RUclipsr, I strongly disagree with his belief that a 600cc bike is too big for a beginner. I understand that this varies by country, but I think it mostly depends on the individual. In my opinion, you can get injured or die on a 300cc just as easily as on a 600cc. It all comes down to how the rider handles and drives the bike. Personally, I want to live a long time, so I don't do anything reckless. I follow the rules and laws. I believe that a 600cc bike can be beneficial in sticky situations where you might need that extra horsepower. Everyone is able to have there own opinion but my stand is different.
@@paradiddlesixix7530 i'd just like to point out that there are LAMS versions of the daytona 660
11:03 fun fact, most motorcycles DON'T need to use the clutch when shifting gears, up or down!
Let's say you're accelerating, and coming up to the rpm limit for what ever gear you're in. Apply slight pressure to the gear lever, drop throttle to 0% for a split second, and go wide open again. In that split second, it'll change into the next gear.
Now let's say you're coming up to a red light and you're in 4th. Roll off the throttle and let the engine braking slow you down. Once rpm's are low enough, apply slight pressure to the gear lever and blip the throttle, it'll rev match itself and drop into 3rd. Now do it again for 2nd, and 1st. Use clutch when actually stopping.
Mhm thanks for that information!! I’ll make sure to give it a go my next drive!
stop recording and start riding.
