I also purchased the 2023 GSX-R1000R as my first bike, just respect the bike while you learn,don't be stupid.

For me a guy who never ride a motorcycle I started on 300CC it was so fun i learned a lot Now I'm planning to get 600CC Don't let your ego control you even if you think you are a good driver Stay safe you all

I started on a Kawasaki Z1000, never had an issue. Be mature. Be responsible. The power is there if you need it, but you don't have to use it. Stay in control.

Starting on a liter is definitely possible. My first bike is a 2010 R1. I wanted to get a 600 or 750 because I've never rode before but came across this for a steal so couldn't pass it up. I probably didn't leave the drive way for the first week or so just getting used to clutch control then eventually went to a parking lot. You gotta be mature minded and definitely respect your machine. Regardless of what anyone says you can never get enough practice, Ride Safe ✌🏾✌🏾

I love this, I started on a 2000 Cali smog delete 4 to one yosh Busa! Loved every second of it. MORE POWER! I fly an AT-602 for a living now. Don't live in fear. Live with RESPECT.

I basically started on a 1000 as well. This is my second year having it. If you're mature enough and can control yourself you will be fine. Also spending time riding by yourself helps a lot as well.

My first bike was a brand new GSX-R1000 and like others say, just respect the bike. Plus I chose it because of the modes starting at C and when I became more comfortable I eventually went to A

You’re simply amazing man!🔥.. you remind me how it feels to be free!

Started on a 1000cc. Definitely don't recommend for young beginners but if you are mature enough to take your time to learn it before going ham, take a couple courses, and practice practice practice your technique its no problem at all. The power band restriction is also an added bonus. I put it one tick down while learning for awhile and then took it up when I was ready.

Dope video, I also started off on a GSXR 1000R as my first bike and I’ve loved every second of it

Good shit, just subscribed. I live near you. I hear all the crazy revs at night and wonder who is ripping at 2 am in the morning. Now I know. 😂. I’ve Only been riding for a year . Looking forward to your videos.

Great video. Gixxers have always been my favorite bikes. Started on dirt bikes and my first street bike was an 87’ GSX-R 750. Several bikes later and I’m actually enjoying the hell out of a 21’ MT-09.

Of course you know it's possible and so do I. It really is about the rider. I keep my lust for speed in check because I don't want to lose my Fz1/R1. It's too easy to get wrecked. Starting on lower rider modes makes literbikes a feasible 2nd bike at least. If I could get a current gen R1 for a first bike, I would ride it at mode C, working my way up from there when I build more skill.

Beautiful bike brother! Congratulations man 🙌

Best video of the day, you just got a new subscriber

I’m 1 min into the video and I just want to say that I’m going to continue watching this channel. 👍

On these new bikes with all those modes it actually allows you to start on the 1000cc... But like most guys have been saying in the comment section,start with whatever feels comfortable to you. Just be careful y'all, we've lost alot of good riders on the roads

I started on Gen 3 busa , I’ve been doing fine , too speed so far 150mph , and in my city they drive like crap . But it’s takes good mentally not to push the limits of the bike because you will never master the big power bikes , my take was not wasting money buying slow bike I would out grow in no time . Plus I drove my first few rides with the power band on 3 so way less power . Just now getting to power band 1 mode . Great video he hit nail on the head ! Suzuki nation!!

When I was younger, I've never rode a motorcycle and didn't ride alot of bicycles neither. As I grew up into my early 20s, my 1st motorcycle was a 1300cc Suzuki Hayabusa. I've never thought about getting something smaller because I knew it wasn't my high. Loved the decision I made and went up to 170mph on the bike but at the same time I really respected the machine. Now 20 years later, I'm riding on my GSXR 1000. I would say, it really depends on how you are as a person Its a feeling...can't described it. But I would say to a newbie to start small because they are not me.

Yes, it is. My first bike 12 years ago was an 07 R1, and it was a blast.

I grew up riding sport atvs which had similar clutch control to actual street bikes, I had been told dirt bikes are quite the same however I had only ridden them maybe twice in my life, fast forward to a few months ago when I decided to purchase an Indian scout bobber, no lie within a month of having it I wanted to sell it as that 1100cc engine scared the crap out of me. Seemed too much to handle. But then I decided to backtrack a little bit and take the proper time to learn riding step by step. Binge watched a bunch of KZfaq videos and wrote down every detail that made me nervous or was uncertain about and I asked a lot questions to fellow riders. Fast forward to now and I can’t imagine being without it. You really got to want it! There’s nothing else like riding a motorcycle out there. All the looks you get when riding in town to all the fellow bike riders flashing you the ✌🏼 as you ride past each other. So yes it’s possible to start on a large engine bike, just respect its power and understand what it can do to you if you don’t.

I love the sound of that bike! MAN! 💪🏾. But yeah that is important. Comfortability and Respect.

New rider and my first was an 2nd Gen Hayabusa. A year later and now it’s getting built into an 300+ war machine. Anything is possible.

Cool vibe , stay safe brother 💯🤙🏽

I got a ZX14 as my 1st bike but I've rode other people's 1000cc bikes. Like w anythg else u have to respect the power. I've had mine 5yrs n haven't went down,by the Grace of God of course. Good luck n enjoy ur bike

Happy birthday buddy an congratulations on the bike it's a nice one💪🏿🙏🏿

Awesome content keep it coming 😊

My god warm weather can’t get here fast enough 😂 great video.

my own opinion a new rider can definetly start with a 1000cc.. but there are very good reasons why we recommend begginers to start small cc. A.So they don't kill themselves B. They can actually learn the basics with ease, therefore much safer. I know too many new 1kcc riders that couldn't do a u-turn to save themselves in a pinch. C. Self discipline, new riders will tend to have that "high" which makes themselves seems invinsible. They are fast and they feel fast, nothing can stop them. Until they get a felony or... D.they kill themselves

Things sick bud. Love the color too

Damn thats a sick bike bro 🔥 that colours dope as well

If You used to ride dirt bikes then thats what You started on. You already had experience, alot of people would not have been able to jump right to a 1000cc like You. Beautiful bike by the way!

Looks like the backroads of Ontario. Great video, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Sheesh be safe fam! That shit must be exhilarating

Starting off on dirt bikes is a big advantage. You learn throttle control. I started off on a mini bike when i was a kid then got dirt bikes in the early 70's and raced motocross all through high school. I was a big kid 6'2" 245lbs. Last race bike was a 1979 YZ 250 two stroke and i could man handle it. Right after high school i went to the dealership to buy my first street bike. I was looking at the 1000cc's and let the sales guy talk me into buying a 550cc bike. Knew it was a mistake because it was lacking in power for me. Kept it less than a year and bought the 1000 i wanted and sold the 550 to a friend of mine that wanted it.

my first bike after passing my test 2 months ago was Suzuki sv1000s street fighter convert and i love it

Nice bike!❤ be safe bro!

Thanks for the vid. Im going for it.

Nice wheels champ✊🏻💯, my first dirtbike was also a 125cr. Now i want to put my big boy pants and was thinking i needed to start with a 750 (GSXR is one of my favorites), but now I'mma consider a 1k. Thanks, and i just subscribed🤙🏼.

this made me smile :)

It’s definitely possible you just need to ride within your limits and be responsible and mature I started with and currently still ride my 03 R1

I'm planning on getting a 04/05/06 cbr 1000rr. Never rode a bike in my life but I think I'm mature enough to take a very measured approach while learning. I've had my fair share of close calls as a result of pushing the envelope just being young and dumb

Im a Kawasaki fan, but your bike is so freaking sick. I love the color scheme.

Great content brother

My first street bike was an 02 R1, straight out the crate. Back in the day (early 2000’s) a large majority of riders in Atlanta started out with 1000’s, and even 1300’s and we never had a issue and were glad we got what we wanted the first time. Think about this also, lot of people don’t have the financial resources to switch out bikes after 1 or two years, so whatever they buy they are stuck with that financial commitment for no less than 5 years. Be safe and no matter what you ride, or how you start out take some advanced rider course and gear up, but most of all don’t push beyond your limits and have fun 👍🏽

therealdealoneill tappin in at 77.8k subscribers bro lets see the climb

3 days after my MSF course, I bought a 2014 gen 2 busa lol. 3 months later, traded it in for my current 22 gen 3 busa

start on whatever bike you feel comfortable with the most important thing is to respect the power !!!

Ofc it is, my first bike was a gsxr 1000 k2. Had it for 1 summer, now im riding a flashed Z H2 with a full exhuast. its such a beast, but its 100% controllable.

Got a 2024 Hayabusa as my first bike. But then again I'm 31, got loads of traffic experience, don't care about going fast. I just like the bike and it fits me great, 6 ft 225 lbs

In "02" my first streetbike was a gsxr1000. I started on dirtbikes too when I was 11yrs old. There was no rider aids or electronic rider modes or even abs. It was so easy to get extra hp with just a pipe and air filter. I had it for 7 mos and had a tank slap into a violent wobble at over 100mph. Until that day it was all or nothing on that bike. I was young and dumb. I knew I was addicted to the adrenaline and would be dead soon. I kept it for a few yrs and got 600RR. Best decision I ever made. For me, it made such a better rider. I rode the bike it didn't ride me. I laid it down more times then I can count but I'm alive to tell the stories. 17 bikes later I have s1000RR and an old Bandit. I'm 43yrs old and I ride until my dieing day. Like you said in the video everyone has their limits, they need to respect them. BEAUTIFUL BIKE U GOT THERE. Your a brave man, about the age I got my 1st bike. I wanna hear your stories in 20yrs and see what the kids are working with by then. Ride shiny side up bro. Thanks for the vid

Finally a legit video in this case. Lot of them tell that's a "suicide" no, that's not. I started with Panigale V2, of course I ride lot of bikes before but none of them wasn't my own bike so, it's not a big deal as everyone talking about. It's just more powerful and you have think twice everything on road till you feel confident on bike. Also respect to power is something, try to understand what's your bike telling you, you'll get it one day just not in day one. Peace

I am starting on a 2007 zx10 just take it easy on the bike it can always go fast don’t rush the progress. Don’t lesson to these people believe in yourself is better then buying one every time you feel like is not fast enough.

I started on a CBR/Fireblade 900RR. It’s all about proper training, maturity and respect for the bikes power.

My brother recently started on a 1000cc. As long as you’re responsible it’s not a problem.

you can absolutely 'start' on anything you want really. i just started on a 600 3 months ago...but i understood the power of it, understood the twitchy throttle, etc. etc. etc...i honestly think it depends 99% on the individual themself, and their aptitude.

I can’t even hate on you for your choice. I started on a Suzuki TL1000R V-Twin. Just take it easy and be safe.

🎉 happy birthday 🎈

First bike ever was a cbr1000 no dirt bike experience either the 1000 was just a better buy at the time so I went for it when I got it I took it around the block a couple times everyday for a week then started riding to work I did ok never dropped the bike I respected it and stayed within my skill level so it’s definitely possible

Started on a 2005 1300cc Hayabusa. Had it for 5 years, and got to the point where i could drag knee if I wanted too(obviously not the bike for it). I just had patience and took some classes.

Colors on that are 🔥🔥🔥🔥

My first bike.. Ducati Multistrada 1200S from 2014.. It doesnt matther if its a 300c or a 1200cc.. all is in you throttle.. and I love the Multistrada and would recommend it to anyone who is looking into i bigger bike.

depends on age and maturity, smallest cc bike ive ever had is my current mt 09, as long as you respect (and fear) it a little at least, you should be okay, you can just get a beefy adv bike if, those have pretty linear acceleration, super easy to handle

I started on a gsxr1100h back in the day, as long as you understand you dont turn that throttle until you get the experience to handle it

Sounds soooo good HHHAAWWWWWWWW

Once I heard 6’7 my brain said you right you got it 😂 start on whatever you want. I’m 6’3 I started on a MT-07 the first year then moved to a 2020 MT-10

My first bike i learned on was a 20th anniversary 2005 gsx-r600. Then went to a yamaha fz-07 and then moved to a indian scout bobber. Recently sold the indian. Next bike Gsx-r1000 these bikes are so comfortable compared to the others. Thanks for the video but you crazy 🤣

holy wish my K6 1k had modes when i first started. Have to respect the bike till got better. Now i can wheelie and knee down on turns. 10 years of riding here now.

ive grown up with dirtbikes and then started on a ninja 250 for 3 years and now looking at an 07 gsxr 1000r. its one of my favorite looking bike. im 5'11, 140lbs btw. ive seen reviews of 600s and having not have a low range power band and really have to get the bike screaming. I also have a long time girlfriend and hope that the drivability will be a lot more responsive compared to a 600. the only reason im deciding to go with a litre bike is because i know i have self control and not try to be a faster rider until i am experienced

Oh snap you tall 6’7 sheeesssshhhh 🙌🏼

You can start on anything, what matters more is what you will progress the most on.

Yes it i. The first bike i bought was cbr1000rr. As long as you respect the bike and its power and not try to ride above your comfortable limit you’ll be good. Having the tourque of a 1k in traffic is awesome for passing. Plus a 1k feels a little more planted and a little less twitchy then a 600 feels.

"Im trying to chill out..." -proceeds to go over 150mph-😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤

True story! I walked into Del Amo motor sports in Redondo Beach and bought Gsxr1000 and when they bought it to the back I ask if they could show me how to ride it. The look on everyone’s face 😮. They was like “you don’t know how to ride? And you bought this bike?” Lol how about some guys waiting in the service area showed me how to get it in gear and a little tutorial. Been riding every since. Every time I went for service they were surprised the bike didn’t come in on a tow truck. They actually had a bet how long it be before I totaled it lol

personally i feel like if youre used to riding dirtbikes or anything with a twist throttle/clutch you can hop on any size motorcycle and be relatively safe until youre comfortable with the power.

I started on an 03 Honda CBR 954rr against the recommendations of my friends but I was responsible, safe, and took my time knowing the limitations of the bike

I "started" on a 150cc scooter at 19. Only had it for a week. I let the little head take control of the situation instead of the big head when she said she know how to ride. She jumped on it hit the throttle and shot out the driveway, across the street into a parked car and bent the frame. Brand new scooter, I put 45 miles on it. Ain't been on one since kids came and didn't have time or money to buy another. Now I'm 40 and bought a '96 Kawasaki ZX9R and after 2 years of working on it I'm almost done. So theoretically my 1st and 2nd bike will be a 900cc

your bike is gorgeous brother

You always decide for yourself how fast you want to drive, regardless of the type of vehicle you drive.

The first 1000cc bike I rode was a 2008 KTM 990 Super Duke, me and my buddy were huge Ktm fans and he handed me the keys and said “go try it!”

Idk I disagree to an extent. My first bike was a 05 GSXR 600 and I'm glad I didn't go with a 1000 like I wanted to initially. It's definitely plenty of bike for a brand new rider to learn on and grow into. Since most 600's don't come alive until the upper rpm's the throttle is more forgiving compared to 1000's unless it's a new bike with riding modes and traction control like the one in this video. They're also lighter and somewhat smaller than 1000's so smaller built people can benefit from that. Also being able to rev a bike out to 16K rpm is an awesome experience lol.

Not being stupid and selfish is a good explanation to alot of things..

I started on a ZX-9R when I was 20, it's definitely possible but you need to go into it with respect, because if you don't respect how fast you can loop, you'll wreck within the first month or close to it.

Man i got a 750cc honda x-adv for a first bike. I can’t wait to learn and enjoy the bike.

You live right next to me bro i recognize all the streets i just got my first bike!

Yes lawd!

Wow this is exactly the video I needed. Getting this bike as my first one. I will respect the bike, not gonna go crazy in it. Gonna take it slow. I’m 35 so I’m not a hot head on the road.

My mans said 6'7" lol As a fellow over-tall person (I'm 6'8" lol) looking to start riding/getting my 1st bike, I've been getting so many different perspectives from people that are nowhere near my height.... Hopefully, I'll learn about motorcycles from a Big n Tall person's pov. Glad I found your channel. *Hits follow button*

I started on a 07 r1 just ride ur own ride you will I repeat you are bound to mess up one day ride safe only reason I started on a litter bc they were running the Same price as the 600s and got a killer deal on it with low miles

Im currently starting on an R3 at the moment, getting myself comfortable before going for the R1

I started on a 06 R1, had it for 6 years before I upgraded to another newer series R1, and in 2019 got a zx14, people argue that you can’t start on a liter bike because of blah blah blah. You 100% can start on anything you want, just respect the bike, plain and simple. While other idiots are popping wheelies as soon as they got their liter bikes, I spent my time learning what my bike wanted to give me on corners, turns, and straights.

My dad started me on dirt bikes and four wheelers when I was two and I’ve been riding ever since. I never had a motorcycle yet but I’ve rode his 1000 a time or two and just rode a 600 once I hopped on the 600 it was ok but it felt slow to me but I also didn’t rev it all the way out but yea I’m definitely getting a 1000 soon

Started on a 2001 RC51, but I had a kx125 growing up

Ride like u ride just be safe. Everyone learns different

Just got this bike I love it and most definitely worth it

I never rode nothing starting on a 2005 gsxr 600 im loving it i fit the bike perfectly stock height can easily touch the ground with both feet if needed been riding about a month

💯 nothing less

Only reason I wouldn't is because most people will drop their first bike be it some kind of way be it a loose gravel patch or a kickstand mistake. You want to be able to comfortably feel it's somewhat disposable when riding it to have the confidence you need to learn the small things you'll inevitably encounter. With that all being said I believe it's plenty possible to learn on a 1000cc but older 600cc fuel injected sport bike in the 2000s are CHEAP FUN and great learning tools!!! plus why spoil the grand finale, you won't forget that first 1000cc pull 😉

Cbr 929rr was my first bike 14 years ago, no regrets

yes it is I started on a Ducati 1199 and also a Gsxr 1000k7 and I don't even have a year of riding yet but going on group rides racing in canyons at nigh and day and I got it really fast I don't know why but it felt like I already knew how to ride and I love it so much I had people tell me I ride amazing for a ki that started on a 1k and doing wheelies
