Twisted86 Shot I wish I had friends to watch my girlfriend. I never know what's going on. I've messed up a few times but I did a lot for her and sacrificed before I got fed up with a few things. Either way it's good to have some good cronies in your corner.
The people giving you crap for this, seriously, don't mind them. It's true, liter bikes are not good for new riders. However, if you continue to ride like you have been, checking yourself constantly, you'll be alright. Be safe bro.
He's a braver man than me. I picked up an R1 a month ago after not riding since 07'. A month of crack of dawn Saturday and Sunday riding before I rode midday traffic. Rode all my normal routes with minimal traffic to get used to the bike. Previous bike was a old 90 something gxr600. Big leap to the 05' R1. Respect the power.
True respect the power, I still have my old 1999 R1 and still respect the power. Exiting a corner leaned over; hard on the throttle in 2nd or 3 rd gear still takes some restraint just in case I hit some slippery pavement. 17 years and counting and this old R1 . Better to be safe to some degree than sorry and high side. I remember back in the day many guys crashing them because they were so powerful and light compared to previous bikes.
I just got my license back in January 2018. first bike was a honda shadow spirit 750, five months later a cbr 250, and then 2 months later.. I’m on a 97 Suzuki TL1000S liter bike... and I love it:)
I did the same thing. Wife finally said I could get a bike again, didn't think twice and bought a 1000 because I had a 600 before that I loved and who knows when the wife would change her mind. Of course I didn't expect I'd lose all my skills from before and that ride home from the dealership was tense!
Same here. 10 years of not riding, then I bought a CBR 600rr. Scary as hell for a while but now I wish I could go up to the liter. The best thing to learn in my opinion is engine breaking. It saved me a couple of times.
A Gilles shift support bracket will help with shifting also. It stabilizes the gear shaft and reduces missed gear changes. If you can find one it'll run you $50-$100. The sc57 is a great machine.
Good for you Bro...I am 3 month in on my 1st bike every, 2009 R1, and I am so happy with my purchase. I am not a street Rossi and I ride her like she is a 300. I didn't buy the bike to race folks or do wheelies. I bought it to vlog. I hope your bike is everything you hoped it would be and that all your rides are safe.
no...I have wanted a motorcycle for a very long time but couldn't get one because of what I was doing athletically (it was looked down on) and because I had a very aggressive mindset and probably would have killed myself pushing the limits. I am older, wiser and a lot more mature now and so it was the right time.
I am La Oh I was about to say. I've seen you comment that somewhere else. That would be a dumb ass reason to get a bike. That being said R1 is probably not the best beginner bike lol
Ogre Doug ...u r right, the R1 is certainly not the best beginner bike, especially for someone who wants to keep up with the other guys that r fast. Me, I know who I am and what I am risking everytime I start my bike, and that makes me a very aware rider that doesn't push my limits (which are pretty big right now).
It wasn’t until I got my motorcycle a couple days ago and have been riding that I realized why people say don’t buy a big bike as your first one. Sure, if you don’t screw up, you’ll be fine. If you never accidentally drop the clutch too fast, or accidentally give too much throttle in a turn, and never accidentally do anything wrong, you’ll never have a problem. But I’ve come to realize that in certain situations when there’s a lot going on around you, I tend to sometimes accidentally give a little too much throttle, or Mis judge my clutches friction zone, and I’m safe when I do that because I picked a slower bike. But in a liter bike? I imagine I wouldve dropped it already because it’s not forgiving like mine is.
@@RUclipsSupportTeams His advice is very true and completely logical. Liter bikes are way less forgiving when mistakes are made, and beginners happen to make a lot of little mistakes, and sometimes big ones.
@@Valkyrie11b any beginner getting on a litre bike is brain dead anyway. You don't just start from day 1 on a litre bike because you have the licence, but someone experienced on powerful dirt bikes or even a 125 and has been riding for a long time and has the maturity and respect for a powerful machine can certainly ride a litre bike in low performance mode if available. I'm not even bringing a complete novice into the equation, thats just mental. But MANY people have started on a litre bike, not that i recommend it at all, especially if they are under 25.
8-9 years since the last time hes rode, gets on a 1000rr EDIT: I didn't comment this in a negative tone, I'm just stating a fact that I thought was a little funny. Obviously, if you can respect the power you'll ride just fine.
HEY guys. ive never even ridden a motorcycle.. Is it good idea for me to get a 1000cc bored out to 1934cc and have a 100 shot of nitrous for my first bike? I heard once you get it rolling its easy. also, I'm going to remove the brakes bc I only care about going fast on one wheel while having a bitch on the back. i figure its just like midnight club :)
you all good bro, just dont forget your safety flip flops and shorts for those hot days. That heat is dangerous you know, full suits will kill ya! ride safe xD
nothing wrong with him doing this ... this bike would be easier then most guys i see after the safety course 26,000 road king full dress how is that not anymore hard to do.. hes a,grown man if he can handel it and has confidence hell do just fine... thats a beauty keep her clean
I know the feeling. A few years back I bought a used Yamaha FJR1300 Sport touring bike, and I had not ridden in over forty years. They had to deliver it because I had not gotten my license yet. I took the Harley Davidson motorcycle course over three or four days, but it still did not prepare me what the power of that kind of engine could do. I really didn't get comfortable with it for at least six months riding a couple times a week. BUT, after I got used to it wow what a ride. Just to test my skills I took it up to 130 one day on the freeway to see if I could handle it. Yeah what a rush !!!
When I registered mine, they asked how much I paid for it because they didn't have anything to go by. They took a thousand off of what I told them because all I had was $200 cash. 06 Gsxr 750.
It was funny hearing you talk while your turning, THAT'S SO ME for most of my turns I make. The more I ride the better I'm getting at turning, but thought it was funny on how you do the same thing I do on my 675.
First time I rode a bike was an 1100. Never touched a bike in my. That was terrifying. But I just took babysteps Until I felt completely comfortable a few months later. Don't understand what the big deal is, if someone has already ridden other types of bikes before.
I went from one month of weekend dirt biking to a gsxr750 as my first road bike. It did feel like a risky proposition at the time. I was very nervous at first, but after a couple of hours it felt like second nature and I just improved my skills from there.
I’ve only riden one season but it was a 759 cruiser . I wanted a 600 but it’s hard to find one around me in my budget . I found a cbr that hitting the sweet spot I might just do it😊
Just focus on controlling the h h now, then worry about speed later. Dont ride scared just zone out, and tune in to your surroundings and tap into that intuition. Read Traffic, stay safe. only been riding for a month its intense
Get over it ladies. Did some MX when I was younger (a kid), but when it was time for me to get a bike, I did the same thing (only I got a 2008 CBR 1000RR. Was going to get a 600 but I'm 6'3" and 235, so a little extra oomph was really appreciated.
You're doing good. Starting off slowly and sensibly. I just bought a zx11 and haven't ridden in 27 yrs. It's second nature. Focus on safety and skill. Learning to ride fast and take corners hard etc should not be on your mind yet.
Just got my first bike.Its a Sportster 883.was kinda wanting something a bit smaller but it's not band.its actually a nice bike to learn on and she's very beautiful!!I always wanted a crotch rocket my whole life until about a year ago when I actually started looking for one and for some reason my mind just changed and went to a cruiser and I just dedicated myself to getting a cruiser LOL.Stay safe and upright man!!🙏🙏
I just bought an early fireblade for my first bike. It's a project so it'll take some time before I can get on it. I've got the discipline to learn it safely but it still worries me. I bought my wife a decent early sv650, I'll probably get experience on it first.
Just a comment about one other guy I knew some time back, so don't take this as a comment on you or what lays ahead. This guy had ridden a little when young, some 90cc bike mostly off road. 12 years later after no riding he purchased a liter bike and rode much as you have in this video. After riding about 8000 miles with no accidents, he went for one of those great morning rides with the cool but not cold temps. About two miles from home, he was feeling really good and comfortable on the bike and confident he had dodged the problems coming up the learning curve. At a stop sign, he had something less than a 90 degree turn to make and decided to accelerate quickly (not really hard as he tells it). As you can guess an accident insued, the liter bike first broke traction at the rear tire and started sliding, then lifted the front wheel, the now experience rider naturally closed the throttle as quickly as possible and when the front wheel touched down, the bike tossed him as he also said 10 feet in the air in a high-side. Now if you can explain all the issue and conditions that led to the accident, you are ahead of the curve, but regardless you still are riding a machine that can kill and cripple the best riders on the planet so NEVER lose the respect it is due. Good luck and ride safe.
I live in Cobb County the charge is the book value. You're also required to have minimal insurance. QT is second to Chevron in quality of additives. Most sportbikes have sorry extension on the mirrors, and you can buy extenders on EBAY. Work on your counter steering so the twisties will be much easier. Your bike is a street legal racing bike, so that's what you will be riding.
The uk has a very intensive motorcycle progression system CBT-Theory-A1-A2-A with each A section having 2 modules. Specifically to stop this, very inexperienced riders going straight on the top most powerful motorcycles. Not being negative saying keep the speed right down (which I know you won’t haha) for a year to get used to it and not get over confident
Nice bike fella, yeah that 1000cc takes a bit to use after a hiatus of years, but You are handling just fine from where is sit. Just a quick note, I started riding my K100krs 1987 vintage last spring and I had a ball and still do. I am 75 and havent riden a bike since 1963 in Austria. Even then it was a 126cc puch scooter... Fast forward, bought this beast and dropped it a few times twice on low side and three other times by getting too enthusiastic with the front brake on gravel. Attached the mirrors back on fairing and off we go. It goes well over 2,, and it wants to rip my arms from shoulders, but it a whole lot of fun for a old crazy geezer like mw. Ps, your comment on lousy back mirrors, I got same issue, just dont bother with the back view so much hahahha
Damn right buddy, I'm 70 and I ride a 02 R1 and it's my third liter bike and I'm glad to someone enjoying a sportbike like I do.. Aren't they awesome?. Power, handling and braking beyond most anything. I just want to twist the throttle until it hits the 180 mark but I have to remember that I'm just over a serious accident 19 months ago. So enough blabbering I'm gone for a ride,later. Ride safe buddy.
Started riding in March of last year, bought a 300, totaled it in July, haven’t been on a bike since. Buying my r1m within the next two weeks lol, not going to lie I’m nervous but I’m definitely babying it for a while
i just bought mine a week ago [2014 model]. have to say that the cbr is a little bit scary while turning. had drove gsxr and yamaha i felt safer but anyways the cbr impresses me all the way arround and it looks really nice.
Amazing not riding in 8 years and unfamiliar with a liter bike and you just ride right into heavy traffic, well props to you, when i was new practised on side streets in low traffic areas before i hit main roads
you shift like I did. I only had my bike 2 weeks now. I've improve a lot. practice your hill starts too, and throttle blipping on downshifts. that's a nice bike you got way to start out man! Lol. 1000rr impressive . I got a 700 thought I was pushing it.
Dude, that must mean you are in the ATL area and I see them out all the time. I do think there is a big meet up here. Not my cup of tea but it would be nice to meet some others as well.
+Gimmeyo not sure who's holding those meets but i know chaseontwowheels had his already you can go to his say hi and then leave pretty cool though, you still gonna keep vlogging or that's over with?
Hey man, you probably won't see this comment, but props to you. I'm looking to get a bike as well and I'm thinking of starting on an R6. Good luck on the roads 😊
first ride? how do you have your ram mount and micro usb hooked up on it? when you hooked it up it looked like you did it a hundred times. I just got my first ram mount and I fumble with it a bit to get it lined up right and stuff. I'm not buying that this is your first ride on it.
Buying?? Not trying to sell it. Not sure if you noticed but the bike was already customized. That is not the factory color, lights, pegs, and a few other goodies. First ride but not first time using a ram mount. Use them everyday in my work trucks. Simple butterfly open/close.
Now that's it's been some tie, do you think starting off on a liter bike was smart? I ask because I'm looking to get my first bike, and I've had some tell me that because I'm 6'2 600 is too small, and I'll probably get bored.
I would not recommend some who does not have experience riding a bike to start on a 600 let a lone a 1000. Take a course and go from there. That is my opinion. People have started on 1000s or higher, it just depends on how smart you are.
its the actual bike not the engine size, just find a good tall person bike. i'm 6'3 and i fit fine on a ninja 250, but cbr250 is too short for me, dual sports are always tall, i fit on a 200cc dual sport very well, my everyday is a kawaski zr7, but i also ride a suzuki bandit 600 and a 1965 honda s90, i fit fine on all of them
Agreed, and even people of similar height fit differently on bikes. I am 6ft3 as well, and I fit fine on bikes that other 6ft people complain about. Best thing to do is go to dealers and simply try sitting on bikes, and potentially take some for test rides etc. It is free, and a must if you aren't sure what kind of bike size suits you :) And no, power wise a 600 won't be too small, and size is highly depending of what 600 bike you look at.
My dad will be picking up an R1 in 2 hours, the only thing he ever rode was my 125cc enduro bike. This video gives me hope that he will not crash it the first day.
I normally tell people don't ride a liter bike if your new, because most people don't know how to reframe from going fast and staying below their skill set. But it is not impossible.
this was my first bike!!!!lol rode it like a scooter the first 4 weeks ..after that I rode it like a savage..ggggreeeeat bike..back then there was no traction control , abs, or ride modes!!!! you had to have it...skillssss
Did 50000 miles on this CBR RR yes 50 thou! Best Bike bar noe the only other bike near this was my CBR900RRN wwo that was some bike....the RR5 is so forgiving, it wheelies whilst running in! Corners at 140mph are easy de to the steering damper....had brakes stripped and rebuilt at 40 Thou, only problem was the Honda supplier at build stage supply the wrong alternator which blew crakacse gasket and burnt out...twice! Had a professional alternator rebuil which solved it. In the wet on new tyres you could go as fast as you liked! Stopped on a dime and accelarated hard when neded....in side by side encounter kep ahead Nissan GTR and DESTROYED a caterham who thought he was fast! Geared for 186MPH if you wanna go that quick....on a track of course! Standing start 0-100 just over 5secs...insane lean angles if you are good enough...ripped off my right side footrest cornering at 70mph once and didnt crash either! Great bike..sound ed awesome with standard pipe!
I just got my license and first bike, ninja 650. I haven't rode a bike in like 10 years and at that I had only rode a couple of times. So yeah I have that newbie feeling myself. I live in central Florida where there's a lot of traffic and people who can't drive for shit so it can be a little overwhelming at first but I'm trying to master this shit. You look like you were doing just fine though. I guess like with anything else, the confidence and knowledge will come with time.
@@tonytone5462 well the newness may have worn off for you but I’m always looking for an excuse to ride. I usually ride weekend mornings, so it you’re looking for company let me know.
@@codysnell i will most definitely hit you up. I'm a little under the weather right now but when it gets a little cooler out in the next month or so maybe we could meet up for a little ride or something. I havent really done long distances and i really don't know many places to go but we can figure it out.
@@tonytone5462 sounds good. I rode today with Volusia County Motorcycle Riders. It was fun, but those guys are a bit more intense than what I look for. I’ve found some decent areas around us. Just let me know when you are ready.
You should not be on a bike like that when your have that much lack of confidence. Riders like you that get into accidents due to in experience is why insurance is so high. You should have started on at most a 600, and that even pushing it. Just keep safe, respect the power and stay alive. Peace buddy.
Appreciate the concern. Not sure what the idea weight is for a cbr600 but I am 240lbs. I recently rode a friends zx6 and it seemed to struggle a bit with my weight. Maybe I have just gotten use to the 1000cc. I will continue to ride safe and you do the same man!
8-9 years without riding isn't a big deal if the person's got 20 years experience riding bikes. He just took a break for a while (probably into fast cars - like many of us). Then he decided to get back into riding a bike. BUT if you have NO experience riding a motorcycle I think it's STUPID to get a Liter Bike. You really need to get a solid 5 years experience riding smaller bikes first. I had about 7 years experience (on and off road) before I moved to a really fast bike, and I still had to be careful and take my time.
Just picked up a 06 cbr 1000rr for $300 in OKC with only 6250miles on it haven't rode it yet never rode a bike before other than a clutchless dirt bike as a kid tbh kinda nervous every video I watch all i see is a monster of a bike
+Orlando Barker 7 grand for an S1000...jesus fucking christ, mate. a 2010 s1000 with 40k on it will cost you $15k in Australia... $18k with reasonable miles.
You a responsible rider mate so i don't see any issues.I started on an R1 many many years ago but i ride responsibly so it all comes down to the rider.I have seen many a rider on a 300 mess up badly because they just have no sense of responsibility and think they are motogp or tt riders.Enjoy man and stay safe ✌
I see so much going on in georgia. Specifally northwest ga in this lithia springs area where I used to live. I used to love going to that store and looking at bikes but was too young to get a bike. Hate I moved
is it alright to get z1000? I’m currently using my first and only bike Nmax 155. I do have sa little bit background on manual motocycle but it’s very little like really 5%?
Jesse Poelemeijer because they are introverts who dont like people looking at them. I make a point to stop right next to them when i pull up to people like that haha
Sounds like me getting on a 1000 for the 1st time. After I totaled my 636 (the only accident I’ve been in the 11 years I’ve been riding) my buddy let me take his 2010 fireblade for a spin. I was scared to death. Been on liter bikes since😂
Ok so here me out here. I'm 20 and I just completed my endorsement and my manager has offered me his 2014 r1 ( which is my dream bike) at low mileage for only $2500. It's 1000cc and while i'm one of the safest riders and i'd never do anything stupid, im wondering if it'll be too heavy and powerful to safely handle with little experience. Im 6 foot and 190lb so I can probably handle the weight. I really feel like I wont find a deal like this on my dream bike and any decent sv650 or ninja is easily over 3k in my area. So what im wondering is should I go for it, its the best deal I can find and its my dream bike. Thanks!
Small bikes can do more harm than good. Ride a little bicycle compared to a big bicycle. Little bike is more nimble, lighter and has less room for body movement. Big bike is heavy, has more power and movement is not restricted.
@Brandon Silas, huh? I gave you a thumbs up initially. But a bicycle is ALOT easier to learn to ride than a motorcycle. This is also why all motorcycles in the MSF course in the United States make you learn on like bandit 250. Big bikes are more restricted, not less. But it depends also on the bike. A supersport will have a wider U-Turn radius than a sport-touring. I certainly agree that getting the right motorcycle for the type of riding (and rider) is important. This guy sounds older too. Maturity and knowing limits can really help new riders like myself know boundries. For example when I first bought my ninja I was super gentle on it. "Chicken Scratches" ya know. And every day I went out riding and leaned it more and more. I worked on the maintenance and learned the bike. And now I can ride out a wheelie and need to upgrade to a larger bike. Fun stuff. #bikeLife
regardless of size.... motorcycles only go as fast as you turn the throttle!!
makes sense to me....
So much... stupid... in...one...sentence....
be that as it may, throttle control isn't something you're born with, and mistakes are amplified on a litre bike.
Weight would be a factor as well for new riders. I think a liter bike is safer than a 1300 Harley that ways 600 or 700lbs.
full throttle on a liter bike vs full throttle on a chinese scoootah
im riding 16yrs non stop. respect man for getting on honda's dragon

Fantastic bike, you did a good job riding it, imo. Cbr 1000rr, the 'blade!
8-9 years since the last time hes rode, gets on a 1000rr
EDIT: I didn't comment this in a negative tone, I'm just stating a fact that I thought was a little funny. Obviously, if you can respect the power you'll ride just fine.
They're not hard to ride
I haven't rode in 8 years got a 1299 for summer i am in the same position as u nice going
Still loving it too :-)
Its all in how you respect the bike and how much control you have in that right hand. Ride safe!
All you have to do is respect the power.
HEY guys. ive never even ridden a motorcycle.. Is it good idea for me to get a 1000cc bored out to 1934cc and have a 100 shot of nitrous for my first bike? I heard once you get it rolling its easy. also, I'm going to remove the brakes bc I only care about going fast on one wheel while having a bitch on the back.
i figure its just like midnight club :)
Fucking great comment 😂😂😂
you all good bro, just dont forget your safety flip flops and shorts for those hot days. That heat is dangerous you know, full suits will kill ya! ride safe xD
lol good one
David Madison yeah it's exactly like midnight club 😂👌
David Madison only if you wear a T-shirt And shorts... also don't forget the backwards ball cap....for safety...and aerodynamics!
Nice bike bro. I started on an 04 R1 then stopped riding for a bit but now I'm back in the market for the Zx14r.
nothing wrong with him doing this ... this bike would be easier then most guys i see after the safety course 26,000 road king full dress how is that not anymore hard to do.. hes a,grown man if he can handel it and has confidence hell do just fine... thats a beauty keep her clean
Appreciate it! There was actually a guy who purchased a Road King 2 days after the course. Reminds me I need to check up on him lol.
I know the feeling. A few years back I bought a used Yamaha FJR1300 Sport touring bike, and I had not ridden in over forty years. They had to deliver it because I had not gotten my license yet. I took the Harley Davidson motorcycle course over three or four days, but it still did not prepare me what the power of that kind of engine could do. I really didn't get comfortable with it for at least six months riding a couple times a week. BUT, after I got used to it wow what a ride. Just to test my skills I took it up to 130 one day on the freeway to see if I could handle it. Yeah what a rush !!!
When I registered mine, they asked how much I paid for it because they didn't have anything to go by. They took a thousand off of what I told them because all I had was $200 cash. 06 Gsxr 750.
starguy821 he's in atlanta.. different story down here in ga
It was funny hearing you talk while your turning, THAT'S SO ME for most of my turns I make. The more I ride the better I'm getting at turning, but thought it was funny on how you do the same thing I do on my 675.
11:13 That was the most cutting of cuts I have ever seen.
Charles S. --> Yup... Complacency will set in and eventually he'll have a Real Fucked Up Day... 🤕
It’s not exactly like he couldn’t see what was coming

Beautiful bike enjoy it man. Hope after all these years you still have it and enjoy her
Nice bike bro
+SnewJ Thanks
wheres the new videos man???
Gopro issues and I have made some changes and additions. Ordered a new Gopro just today.
+Gimmeyo great man. I'm dying to see some new videos!
First time I rode a bike was an 1100. Never touched a bike in my. That was terrifying. But I just took babysteps Until I felt completely comfortable a few months later. Don't understand what the big deal is, if someone has already ridden other types of bikes before.
Exactly
I'm about to do the same. I've ridden dirt bikes before, but nothing as powerful as a 1000. I know I have throttle control so I shouldn't die too fast
I went from one month of weekend dirt biking to a gsxr750 as my first road bike. It did feel like a risky proposition at the time. I was very nervous at first, but after a couple of hours it felt like second nature and I just improved my skills from there.
1100 what?
I’ve only riden one season but it was a 759 cruiser . I wanted a 600 but it’s hard to find one around me in my budget . I found a cbr that hitting the sweet spot I might just do it😊
dude you sound so nervous!..great video man!
Just focus on controlling the h h now, then worry about speed later. Dont ride scared just zone out, and tune in to your surroundings and tap into that intuition. Read Traffic, stay safe. only been riding for a month its intense
btw h h was a typo, I meant bike
Definitely lock into mamba mentality when I'm riding
Get over it ladies. Did some MX when I was younger (a kid), but when it was time for me to get a bike, I did the same thing (only I got a 2008 CBR 1000RR. Was going to get a 600 but I'm 6'3" and 235, so a little extra oomph was really appreciated.
Stop signs in the US is only suggestions? cause you seem to drive by them all the time :)
Do I? I haven't noticed but will try to pay more attention to this.
especially in California no one stops haha
+Ragsdale Growden California roll?
Berth Ljunggren Turn signals are also optional.
Berth Ljunggren Hmmm...rip lol. Use those stop signs bc US drivers a fucking insane.
I just bought a 2001 Yamaha FZR1 as my first bike......ever. Did I fuck up?I've rode as a passenger on a 1000 but now i'm the owner
You're doing good. Starting off slowly and sensibly. I just bought a zx11 and haven't ridden in 27 yrs. It's second nature. Focus on safety and skill. Learning to ride fast and take corners hard etc should not be on your mind yet.
A don't know of another person crazy enough to have got a litre bike straight after passing their test. Respect bro. Hope it all went well.
Just got my first bike.Its a Sportster 883.was kinda wanting something a bit smaller but it's not band.its actually a nice bike to learn on and she's very beautiful!!I always wanted a crotch rocket my whole life until about a year ago when I actually started looking for one and for some reason my mind just changed and went to a cruiser and I just dedicated myself to getting a cruiser LOL.Stay safe and upright man!!🙏🙏
The 883 is like a liter bike minus 150hp.....
I just bought an early fireblade for my first bike. It's a project so it'll take some time before I can get on it. I've got the discipline to learn it safely but it still worries me. I bought my wife a decent early sv650, I'll probably get experience on it first.
Just a comment about one other guy I knew some time back, so don't take this as a comment on you or what lays ahead. This guy had ridden a little when young, some 90cc bike mostly off road. 12 years later after no riding he purchased a liter bike and rode much as you have in this video. After riding about 8000 miles with no accidents, he went for one of those great morning rides with the cool but not cold temps. About two miles from home, he was feeling really good and comfortable on the bike and confident he had dodged the problems coming up the learning curve. At a stop sign, he had something less than a 90 degree turn to make and decided to accelerate quickly (not really hard as he tells it). As you can guess an accident insued, the liter bike first broke traction at the rear tire and started sliding, then lifted the front wheel, the now experience rider naturally closed the throttle as quickly as possible and when the front wheel touched down, the bike tossed him as he also said 10 feet in the air in a high-side. Now if you can explain all the issue and conditions that led to the accident, you are ahead of the curve, but regardless you still are riding a machine that can kill and cripple the best riders on the planet so NEVER lose the respect it is due. Good luck and ride safe.
I got my endorsement 2 weeks ago (perfect score) and tomorrow I'm looking at a Suzuki Bandit 1200. I do have a deathwish
I live in Cobb County the charge is the book value. You're also required to have minimal insurance. QT is second to Chevron in quality of additives. Most sportbikes have sorry extension on the mirrors, and you can buy extenders on EBAY. Work on your counter steering so the twisties will be much easier. Your bike is a street legal racing bike, so that's what you will be riding.
The uk has a very intensive motorcycle progression system CBT-Theory-A1-A2-A with each A section having 2 modules. Specifically to stop this, very inexperienced riders going straight on the top most powerful motorcycles. Not being negative saying keep the speed right down (which I know you won’t haha) for a year to get used to it and not get over confident
Nick Puttock most people would prefer freedom over safety in the US.
Nice bike fella, yeah that 1000cc takes a bit to use after a hiatus of years, but You are handling just fine from where is sit. Just a quick note, I started riding my K100krs 1987 vintage last spring and I had a ball and still do. I am 75 and havent riden a bike since 1963 in Austria. Even then it was a 126cc puch scooter... Fast forward, bought this beast and dropped it a few times twice on low side and three other times by getting too enthusiastic with the front brake on gravel. Attached the mirrors back on fairing and off we go. It goes well over 2,, and it wants to rip my arms from shoulders, but it a whole lot of fun for a old crazy geezer like mw. Ps, your comment on lousy back mirrors, I got same issue, just dont bother with the back view so much hahahha
Damn right buddy, I'm 70 and I ride a 02 R1 and it's my third liter bike and I'm glad to someone enjoying a sportbike like I do.. Aren't they awesome?. Power, handling and braking beyond most anything. I just want to twist the throttle until it hits the 180 mark but I have to remember that I'm just over a serious accident 19 months ago. So enough blabbering I'm gone for a ride,later. Ride safe buddy.
Excellent video quality, amazing bike, smart mature rider, beautiful day. Great job.
Cool bike. Congrats on the MSF. Go easy bro
Started riding in March of last year, bought a 300, totaled it in July, haven’t been on a bike since. Buying my r1m within the next two weeks lol, not going to lie I’m nervous but I’m definitely babying it for a while
i just bought mine a week ago [2014 model]. have to say that the cbr is a little bit scary while turning. had drove gsxr and yamaha i felt safer but anyways the cbr impresses me all the way arround and it looks really nice.
Yes, I love the CBR. Honda makes nice bikes.
Amazing not riding in 8 years and unfamiliar with a liter bike and you just ride right into heavy traffic, well props to you, when i was new practised on side streets in low traffic areas before i hit main roads
you shift like I did. I only had my bike 2 weeks now. I've improve a lot. practice your hill starts too, and throttle blipping on downshifts. that's a nice bike you got way to start out man! Lol. 1000rr impressive . I got a 700 thought I was pushing it.
holy shit dude a year ago you went right by the street i live on!!! i wish i knew more atl vloggers
Dude, that must mean you are in the ATL area and I see them out all the time. I do think there is a big meet up here. Not my cup of tea but it would be nice to meet some others as well.
+Gimmeyo not sure who's holding those meets but i know chaseontwowheels had his already you can go to his say hi and then leave pretty cool though, you still gonna keep vlogging or that's over with?
Hey man, you probably won't see this comment, but props to you. I'm looking to get a bike as well and I'm thinking of starting on an R6. Good luck on the roads 😊
Love the sound of a bike starting up and warming up. Don't got a motorbike, just a bicycle (mountain bike). :( Hope you're still kickin around mang.
Don't we just love it when it's a chin mount camera 😁👌🏼
Did he die? No new videos and he said he just got a camera...
Yeah I'm thinking the same. Dude seemed serious. And after 2 vids, no more. Hope he is ok. 🙏
i havent seen the weather this nice in over 3 months
We get some good riding weather. That is if its not too darn hot or raining lol
first ride? how do you have your ram mount and micro usb hooked up on it? when you hooked it up it looked like you did it a hundred times. I just got my first ram mount and I fumble with it a bit to get it lined up right and stuff. I'm not buying that this is your first ride on it.
Buying?? Not trying to sell it. Not sure if you noticed but the bike was already customized. That is not the factory color, lights, pegs, and a few other goodies. First ride but not first time using a ram mount. Use them everyday in my work trucks. Simple butterfly open/close.
ok. cool.
Big Bee Who Are you the ram mount police.....wtf
Yes. Wee ooo wee ooo weee ooo!!
Big Bee tbh, i was thinking the same thing as you bro
Now that's it's been some tie, do you think starting off on a liter bike was smart? I ask because I'm looking to get my first bike, and I've had some tell me that because I'm 6'2 600 is too small, and I'll probably get bored.
a 600 won't be to small for you, swing by a dealership and sit on one.
I would not recommend some who does not have experience riding a bike to start on a 600 let a lone a 1000. Take a course and go from there. That is my opinion. People have started on 1000s or higher, it just depends on how smart you are.
It's like this. If you need to ask, you don't need it.
its the actual bike not the engine size, just find a good tall person bike. i'm 6'3 and i fit fine on a ninja 250, but cbr250 is too short for me, dual sports are always tall, i fit on a 200cc dual sport very well, my everyday is a kawaski zr7, but i also ride a suzuki bandit 600 and a 1965 honda s90, i fit fine on all of them
Agreed, and even people of similar height fit differently on bikes. I am 6ft3 as well, and I fit fine on bikes that other 6ft people complain about. Best thing to do is go to dealers and simply try sitting on bikes, and potentially take some for test rides etc. It is free, and a must if you aren't sure what kind of bike size suits you :) And no, power wise a 600 won't be too small, and size is highly depending of what 600 bike you look at.
My dad will be picking up an R1 in 2 hours, the only thing he ever rode was my 125cc enduro bike. This video gives me hope that he will not crash it the first day.
I hope he didn't! I think coming from another bike he should be ok. Gotta have a little control off that throttle lol.
Has he done okay? xDD
I don't know why people are angry at this guy. I just got my license last week and I'm shipping a ninja h2 carbon to me....
Yea, and you're the type of idiot who will crash it within weeks of owning it. Probably hitting someone in the process.
I hope that that was a joke
Goodluck
I normally tell people don't ride a liter bike if your new, because most people don't know how to reframe from going fast and staying below their skill set. But it is not impossible.
I also bought a cbr1000rr for my first bike. I ride just up the road from you in Douglasville.
They’re not that bad, I started on a 07 Yamaha fz1 but i also been riding dirt bikes my whole life
Nice vid - real genuine. 👍🏻👍🏻
Subbed
this was my first bike!!!!lol rode it like a scooter the first 4 weeks ..after that I rode it like a savage..ggggreeeeat bike..back then there was no traction control , abs, or ride modes!!!! you had to have it...skillssss
A 2005 bike still doesn't have abs..
That mustang thought he was fast dude would lose massively
Charlie Holmes i thought i was the only one to notice too 😂 that mustang slow af in comparison
Did 50000 miles on this CBR RR yes 50 thou! Best Bike bar noe the only other bike near this was my CBR900RRN wwo that was some bike....the RR5 is so forgiving, it wheelies whilst running in! Corners at 140mph are easy de to the steering damper....had brakes stripped and rebuilt at 40 Thou, only problem was the Honda supplier at build stage supply the wrong alternator which blew crakacse gasket and burnt out...twice! Had a professional alternator rebuil which solved it. In the wet on new tyres you could go as fast as you liked! Stopped on a dime and accelarated hard when neded....in side by side encounter kep ahead Nissan GTR and DESTROYED a caterham who thought he was fast! Geared for 186MPH if you wanna go that quick....on a track of course! Standing start 0-100 just over 5secs...insane lean angles if you are good enough...ripped off my right side footrest cornering at 70mph once and didnt crash either! Great bike..sound ed awesome with standard pipe!
I just got my license and first bike, ninja 650. I haven't rode a bike in like 10 years and at that I had only rode a couple of times. So yeah I have that newbie feeling myself. I live in central Florida where there's a lot of traffic and people who can't drive for shit so it can be a little overwhelming at first but I'm trying to master this shit. You look like you were doing just fine though. I guess like with anything else, the confidence and knowledge will come with time.
I know your comment is 3 years old…but…still got your ninja 650? I live in Oviedo and just picked one up.
@@codysnell yes i do still have it. I use it to commute to work.
@@tonytone5462 well the newness may have worn off for you but I’m always looking for an excuse to ride. I usually ride weekend mornings, so it you’re looking for company let me know.
@@codysnell i will most definitely hit you up. I'm a little under the weather right now but when it gets a little cooler out in the next month or so maybe we could meet up for a little ride or something. I havent really done long distances and i really don't know many places to go but we can figure it out.
@@tonytone5462 sounds good. I rode today with Volusia County Motorcycle Riders. It was fun, but those guys are a bit more intense than what I look for. I’ve found some decent areas around us. Just let me know when you are ready.
how you are with blue; is how I am with red lol :) loving the continuity !
@11:50 lol my fave part! the vocals lol
Ive never ridden before either. Just bought me a used 929 off of CL. its on.
Why does this area you are riding in look like Charlotte NC hmmmmmm nice bike though I do know predominately QT’s are down south
I’m looking at a 1000 rr for first bike, what’d you think? Oh I’m 6’4 250lbs
My first bike was a honda vtx 1800. Not a sport bike but after a year of riding I don't see the big deal
You should not be on a bike like that when your have that much lack of confidence. Riders like you that get into accidents due to in experience is why insurance is so high. You should have started on at most a 600, and that even pushing it. Just keep safe, respect the power and stay alive. Peace buddy.
Appreciate the concern. Not sure what the idea weight is for a cbr600 but I am 240lbs. I recently rode a friends zx6 and it seemed to struggle a bit with my weight. Maybe I have just gotten use to the 1000cc. I will continue to ride safe and you do the same man!
Gimmeyo a 600 should have no struggle pulling you I weigh 250 and have pushed little 300 to their limits
Great video! I subbed 👍💪🏼👊
8-9 years without riding isn't a big deal if the person's got 20 years experience riding bikes. He just took a break for a while (probably into fast cars - like many of us). Then he decided to get back into riding a bike.
BUT if you have NO experience riding a motorcycle I think it's STUPID to get a Liter Bike. You really need to get a solid 5 years experience riding smaller bikes first.
I had about 7 years experience (on and off road) before I moved to a really fast bike, and I still had to be careful and take my time.
BLACK05GO1 my first bike I ever rode and owned was a 2000 R1. Never had an issue!
man that bike seems smoth on my honda crf450r is just go go go in every gear i barely give it any throttle throws the front wheel up.
How'd you get your phone mount on your bike brotha?
On my bike there were 2 screws I had to pop off and then screw down the mount. Guess its not the same on all bike. Look into the triple tree mount.
For sure, does your have the HESD by any chance?
Just picked up a 06 cbr 1000rr for $300 in OKC with only 6250miles on it haven't rode it yet never rode a bike before other than a clutchless dirt bike as a kid tbh kinda nervous every video I watch all i see is a monster of a bike
I'm just saying that he didn't upload anything for 4 years now
I WONDER WHY
What kind of helmet Camara and mic do you use to make your video. Im thinking about getting a liter bike too.
That bike sounds like 8 of my 2017 Honda Groms, only sexier...
Not a fan of the stock exhaust, at least at low rpm
Love the S10!! I've got one in the same color!
1000rr are a beast i know
Ride safe dude don't get hurt
I was contemplating about getting an R1
+Orlando Barker Got to ride one a few weeks back and those R1s are pretty nice as well. Grab one if you can.
+Gimmeyo I am, I'm searching high and low. Some guy offered me 7 grand for his 2010 s1000rr but I don't have that much saved 😅
+Orlando Barker 7 grand for an S1000...jesus fucking christ, mate.
a 2010 s1000 with 40k on it will cost you $15k in Australia...
$18k with reasonable miles.
Loving the CBR!! Sounds SOOO amazing! Maybe in the future i can buy my dad a dirt bike like he used to have! AND get sport bikes just for fun. :D
Watching this video and realizing....that's Thornton road and I live right around the corner 😂👌
You a responsible rider mate so i don't see any issues.I started on an R1 many many years ago but i ride responsibly so it all comes down to the rider.I have seen many a rider on a 300 mess up badly because they just have no sense of responsibility and think they are motogp or tt riders.Enjoy man and stay safe ✌
That bike is beautiful
I see so much going on in georgia. Specifally northwest ga in this lithia springs area where I used to live. I used to love going to that store and looking at bikes but was too young to get a bike. Hate I moved
is it alright to get z1000? I’m currently using my first and only bike Nmax 155. I do have sa little bit background on manual motocycle but it’s very little like really 5%?
What is your phone mount? I want to get the fork stem mount but cant because of the HESD
why are people always stopping a quartermile from the stoppingline?
Jesse Poelemeijer because they are introverts who dont like people looking at them. I make a point to stop right next to them when i pull up to people like that haha
Went from a 250cbr to a 1000cbr, crazy shit man
I'm laughing he's a nervous wreck lol and I ride one everyday
Sounds like me getting on a 1000 for the 1st time. After I totaled my 636 (the only accident I’ve been in the 11 years I’ve been riding) my buddy let me take his 2010 fireblade for a spin. I was scared to death. Been on liter bikes since😂
Ok so here me out here. I'm 20 and I just completed my endorsement and my manager has offered me his 2014 r1 ( which is my dream bike) at low mileage for only $2500. It's 1000cc and while i'm one of the safest riders and i'd never do anything stupid, im wondering if it'll be too heavy and powerful to safely handle with little experience. Im 6 foot and 190lb so I can probably handle the weight. I really feel like I wont find a deal like this on my dream bike and any decent sv650 or ninja is easily over 3k in my area. So what im wondering is should I go for it, its the best deal I can find and its my dream bike. Thanks!
Narley Goldfish get the R1 that’s a steal bc if you don’t like it or it’s too much you can sell it to someone else for soooo much more
You can learn on about anything. Getting the right motorcycle for the type of riding is more important....
+Brandon Silas Right, you can learn on anything but some bikes are less forgiving with your mistakes.
Small bikes can do more harm than good. Ride a little bicycle compared to a big bicycle. Little bike is more nimble, lighter and has less room for body movement. Big bike is heavy, has more power and movement is not restricted.
@Brandon Silas, huh? I gave you a thumbs up initially. But a bicycle is ALOT easier to learn to ride than a motorcycle. This is also why all motorcycles in the MSF course in the United States make you learn on like bandit 250. Big bikes are more restricted, not less. But it depends also on the bike. A supersport will have a wider U-Turn radius than a sport-touring. I certainly agree that getting the right motorcycle for the type of riding (and rider) is important. This guy sounds older too. Maturity and knowing limits can really help new riders like myself know boundries. For example when I first bought my ninja I was super gentle on it. "Chicken Scratches" ya know. And every day I went out riding and leaned it more and more. I worked on the maintenance and learned the bike. And now I can ride out a wheelie and need to upgrade to a larger bike. Fun stuff. #bikeLife
