Great video! I have traction control set to 3 on my 8R. What is the benefit of having the traction control on 1? I don't intend to wheelie or perform burnouts on the back tire. Besides that, what am I missing out on by setting the traction control to 3? I'd appreciate any insight you can give.
@@halettebrennen8460 thanks! From what I was able to find, "Mode 1 has the lowest sensitivity and allows rear wheel spin best suited for good road conditions. In Mode 2, traction control engages sooner for average conditions, and Mode 3 eliminates wheel spin for riding on wet or slippery roads." That being said, you really don't need traction control with this bike in my opinion. It doesn't have a lot of power and riding with it off promotes good throttle control learning. Seems like 3 is best for rain and 1 is for just enough to work.
@@wmranson9311 it is, but since you already have one, I would go for an MT09 or the just announced R9. Something in that range for nicer upgrade. Bikes like that. Triumph Street Triple is a good one too
Why does this sounds like a moped? I was expecting something similar to the a GSXR750 and figured this was the next level up. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I remember the GSXR750 from the 80's and it was a rocket.
@@nicholash8021 it's a different engine type. This is a twin, not an inline 4 like the supersports are. Even though the engine is bigger, it makes about half the power of the 750 because of the two missing cylinders and it doesn't rev as high. It's in what they call the "650 class" of bikes where they are made for people who want a good value bike.
@@BlackRiverRider Ahh gotcha, I had no idea these were twins. They absolutely look menacing, and I just assumed it was a 4-burner with a name like GSX-8R and that look.
Best value around

@@BlackRiverRider Cool! Thank you for the information!
@@halettebrennen8460 no problem!
I love this bike! A lot of people crap on this bike but its a nice comfortable and fun ride especially for a daily.
It’s probably the best middle weight out right now regarding overall value for sure.
Like you, I have an MT-07. Is this an upgrade?

8s 도 LED 방향들 달자. 가격 좀 올리더라도. 옵션질 질린다. 그냥 중간 건너띄고 최종 모델로 가버릴까.
I believe this bike is only offered in one trim level

So which bike would win in a race the mt07 or the 8r?
@@Bmw_Z3R 8r for sure. More power and better aero
A used 600

@@keithquinn5624 lol! you're a used 600 😅
