@@MasterOfPace torque and acceleration doesn't even last two seconds and you're already way over the speed limits anywhere. It's more an exercise on restraint and self limitation than anything else, which can easily turn into frustration. Unless you have a track nearby to go and play with the bike it's basically pointless.
Beautiful bike, it must be quite a thrill to ride. I just came across your channel and am enjoying your videos. As a beginner and in my early fifties, I’m good with my little KTM 390 Adventure. Fun enough in the twisties, enough highway power (for me), and I’ll be able to explore unpaved roads to grow that skillset too. I chose to ignore my buddies who insisted I get a 1,000+cc bike “to grow into.” Being able to focus on fundamentals and developing good habits and skills without having to be constantly afraid of making the slightest wrong twitch of the throttle makes riding and learning more enjoyable and safer for me.
Great bike, i rode the same with the usual upgrades and absolutely loved it. Litre bikes have thrilling acceleration but I sold my R1 because I rarely got to the track and whenever I used it as it's supposed to be ridden on road it was too much risk to life and license and riding that fast bike slower frustrated me to no end whereas I had so much fun redlining the 390 out on the green lanes with way less risk to life and licence, i mean really wringing its neck which for me is so much fun and just impossible on litre bike without risking serious trouble. For me it's more fun riding a slower bike fast than a fast bike slowly but each to their own, I really enjoyed watching Dr Michael enjoy his litre bike too. I now ride the 690 enduro which for me is the absolute sweet spot in power for adventure riding, super light on the road and not a too heavy adv pig off road. Have you tried thrashing a smaller and lighter enduro/supermoto out in the countryside yet Doc?
Be careful, 390 (45 hp if my memory is good) is way above what you need to drive normally on road !! The principles that are detailed in this video are true for you too ! I drive SV650 and it's more than necessary to drive normally. Don't care about others and marketing and world globalisation... Minimum 150 cc (like in India Thailand etc) and here you go. !!
When you can break every single speed limit in the country in first gear you have reached the level of unnecessary power. For funsies I decided that I was gonna ride my GTR 1400 in first gear for a week, basically treating it like a DCT. Yes, I got 22 miles to the gallon across about 500 miles of riding. But at no point including the interstate, did I actually need to leave first gear. Sold that bike a month later. It didn’t have cruise control and I was gonna get a ticket on that goddamn thing.
Lots of great and accurate points. After 2 and a half years of riding I decided to buy a 2008 FZ1. Ive been riding a bonneville with about half the power. I knew exactly what I was getting into and all of the things I should be aware about. Initially I was just a little scared, in a respectful way, but learned very quickly that below 6-7000 rpm it really is an extremely tame bike. Ive put maybe 200 miles on it and still havent taken it above 7k as im trying to take it very patiently. I did hit a bump on the highway and it jolted me forward a bit, my back swung rearward just a bit but I quickly leaned forward😅. Lots of people argue whether or not a new rider should start on a 1000cc. Though its been done before personally I would never recommend it. They lack clutch and throttle control. And an accident is likely to happen 10 fold.
Well they are better for street than a 600. At least you have power everywhere and don’t have rev the piss out of them to get going. In-line twins make the best street bikes idc what anyone says.
Personally, I just dont see the point of a liter bike for a pure street bike. Hell, at the racetracks I go to, liter bikes only have an advantage on long straights- on short straights, esp in novice class, a lot of liter bike riders are too timid to open up the throttle, so if you plan ahead you can gap them at the opening of the corner and they won't be able to catch up. To a degree I guess once you've got used to something like a 600-750 sport bike you want more, but for where I am as a rider I like that my 765cc bike doesn't ever feel like it's getting away from me. You have to really commit to do something dumb on a ~600 whereas a ~1000 can get out of control in a heartbeat. And there are less powerful bikes with good low end response on the street. My old 650 twin seems to have more low end grunt than my new 765 triple for example. So a lot of it is gearing and tuning.
The M1000R, in comparison to the Streetfighter, is absolutely possible to go on a chilled ride. Remove direct throttle response, and it is benign and a great daily. In the rain I put it in rain mode and relax. Anything above 8k rpm, shiftcam kicks in, and it is insane and fun. Is a 1000cc needed or not? Absolutely not. By the same logic, no one ever needs greater than 125cc.
I'm thinking about buying xsr 900 for my first bike. Did my course and 20hours on mt07(I'm from EU) Triumph trident 660 is my second option, but Yamaha is only 2k usd more expensive in my country, which makes me want to get Yamaha more 😩
@ its a big bike for your first. But with that being said it was my first. I rode in driver mode 3 for 500 miles. If you can calm your right hand it is possible. It is such a fun bike. But it can goooooo. It wants to go fast.
@@q4rty the problem with more powerful bikes is not being able to control them while riding normally, but what happens when things turn weird. Imagine a very likely bad body position causing you to lean back during acceleration causing whiskey throttle, or unexpected need to do whatever. 20 hours, or even 100, don't prepare you to react properly. That takes time. And on any bike that's on the powerful side of things that's game over really easily. I can't say nobody can start on a powerful bike, because effectively many people did, and in most cases survived and became good riders. But I can say that if those same riders had started on a smaller bike they'd be even better today. Honestly, even a Trident 660 is probably more than you need right now, and having that as a first bike will 100% make your progress and potential skill development much slower. You can get intro trouble with a Duke 390 at this stage of your riding career. Why rush it? Why not get a smaller bike to play around with, get used to things, and then switch a few months later? Nobody is watching and nobody cares what you ride.
I have a Z1000 and it’s easy to ride on the street. I also have a Mt07 and it’s better as more agile and although it has significantly less power is more useable and fun. The zed I ride out of town. The mt07 is my commute bike. The zed is my entertainment. Both are easy to ride but the mt is much better in the streets
i can putt around on highways in 2nd on my 1199 i do find it to be too much power sometimes yes but once you get a lick of that power it’s hard to go back.
I have a SFV4 & a Hyper 950.The SF is not that fun below 40mph on local roads. It's acceptable, but not it's ideal environment. A smaller engine where you are in the meat of the powerband is a bit more fun. I did 140 miles yesterday on the SF, most of which was highway or twisty, open roads where you could go 45mph+, and it really shines at that point.
Maybe I am the exception… got my license 3 mos ago. My first bike was a new Monster 937, rode the heck out of it and put 3000 miles on it in the first 3 weeks, ultimately hitting 4000 after two months. Decided to rent a SF V4S for a weekend and was immediately sold. Sold the monster for the SF V4S, I'm 6 weeks in and just hit 3300 miles, best bike ever. I rode dirtbikes as a kid so my brain is wired for 2-wheelers which helps. Ultimately I think the safety factor boils down to: - Don't be dumb and speed wrecklessly, choose your moments. - Learn how to predict the behavior of traffic, super important! - Maintain awareness of what's in front, to the sides, the rear, and constantly predict possible moves and how you'll react (escape paths) if those moves happen. - When engine braking be sure to tap on your rear brake to trigger rear tail lamp so drivers behind know you're slowing - Try not to ride in non-ideal conditions until you reach expert level: - wet, sunrise/sunset when sun is in driver's eyes, peak traffic on complex roadways - Always recognize the possibility of debris being on public roads. Keep extreme riding to the track where surfaces are inspected and carefully prepped for high-pace riding. - Learn and PRACTICE safety maneuvers on your bike before you go on public roads. - Get comfortable with swerve avoidance, and emergency braking. The time to learn is not when you need to do an e-stop. And you will be lightyears ahead of the average rider.
Makes perfect sense. Almost all of what this guy is talking about in the video boils down to twitchy throttle which can be made to be a very slow response throttle with a different ride mode which all modern bikes have. His statement that it's made to be ridden in "sport" mode is just nonsense. From what I see of motorcycle accidents, very few have to do with how much power a bike has especially now that traction control and wheelie control are so common. It's almost always about poor judgement which can occur on any motorcycle regardless of power.
The Monster 1200 is one of my favorite bikes Ducati has recently made. Great power and torque in a usable range. The V2 Streetfighter is a perfect power for the street in my opinion, but a lot of that comes at higher RPMs. Try out the Monster 937 as well if you have a chance. That was my previous bike and I loved it.
@@Dr.MichaelsMotorcycles Ah yes the Monster 937 is on my list as well. The 937 seems like the most logical step in progression since I'll be coming off a 797 as my first bike. To be honest I don't have much seat time but I'm getting the itch just looking at these awesome bikes.
Could you imagine going that slow on a Monster,??, I had a Monster , and trying to lug it that low, it would Buck like a rodeo Horse 🤣 Your channel will come in Handy, I’m about to pull the Trigger on a 2024 Street Fighter, but not the S, I’m not feeling the Electronic Suspension, don’t really need it. The way that you Hit over 80 MPH with that little throttle, was amazing. I been riding over 40 yrs, so this will be a Sunday Rider, and a Poser of course. What Mirrors are those BTW?? 👌
Yeah, my Monster really hated low RPM - the Streetfighter actually feels smoother at the lower RPM. You should really consider doing the S if funds allow. The electronic suspension is really nice for road riding, especially in Road mode. The roads around me aren't perfect so this smooths things out. The aluminum rims, electronic steering damper, and lithium battery are also really nice upgrades on the S. The mirrors are Rizoma Veloce - so much better than stock. Install video here: ruclips.net/video/lWuWmVFeTGA/видео.html
I bought a f900r 5 weeks ago as my first bike after passing my test. Rode 700 miles already and the confidence I've gained is crazy. Took it for its first service and the dealer let me take out a s1000rr for an hour, it was very very easy to ride 😂 😂 😂 I think some people are just born with more common sense. Like there are people (like my mum) who have been driving cars for 30+ years and yet ain't got a scooby. It's all about common sense, come off the throttle sooner / get on it later and any bike is manageable
1000cc it’s nothing special really for the streets and especially if it’s naked because we ride them easier. Litre supernakeds are comfy and you can cruise on 5-6th gear even while at 30mph. I tour on my s1000r 22 with my gf on it and panniers. Downside is that all litre bikes are heavy unless it’s 50k bmw or Ducati. If you want to learn to ride it’s best to do so on a lighter bike that you don’t care about and can go down with it while learning! If you are European and not American you know higher cc bikes are slower in the twisties. Meanwhile Americans have mostly straight roads I guess and want something that’s fast on a straight line😅 Ofc I know there’s people doing track days all around the world and there’s also good to start light instead of pushing them bars like crazy to turn in
I have a small 300cc chinese bike(a zontes 310R small naked and I think is pretty nice looking for the price I paid) and I enjoy it anyway...just 4 years of riding(but I have ridden for nearly 40000 km) and I don't feel like I need more power...I couldn't even afford a bike like yours it would cost a lot more in fuel consuption and running costs(dealership costs for maintenance in ducati are a lot expensive)
Pointless, except for racing. Monster is more than anyone will ever need on the road. All those 1k spots bikes riding around are for show off purposes nothing else. It is like driving Mclaren 765LT on Monaco streets, same deal.
I have one the 2023 SF V4 and it is really restricted in 1,2,3,4 gear. I added an Arrow exhaust that is nice and loud and wonderful and noisy as hell! Not for your fait of heart ears. I am getting a BT Moto Tune done soon to take off all of the restrictions. It raises the idle and gives you a richer fuel mix so it is more usable at lower speeds without having to ring it out as much. It also turns on the cooling fans earlier. You also need throttle spacers it makes it easier to modulate i got mine from Ducati Spacers.
@@Dr.MichaelsMotorcycles They are off the pace from the Streetfighter you are better off looking at a BMW M1000RR and don't mod it for a while becasue BMW warranty's nothing if you mess with it
Aprilia tried to mix a bike as easy to ride as a GSX R1000 with a Ducati italian character but gives you a more cramped riding position from a Kawasaki ninja 600 lol
I ride a 1k cc bike on the streets. Once you've had a taste of the power, it's near impossible to go back.
I think that's true, and as you get experience you get more comfortable with managing the power.
Agree a 100 %.
