The bike YOU want! They all operate the same. Do dumb things, dumn things happen. Take your time and be safe. Lane splitting and group rides are when ishhh gets out of hand. Share the road, you dont own it. Remember you are faster than the traffic around you but are the most vulnerable. Ride safe!

As a complete noob, I started on a Ninja 250, then moved up to a Sportster before getting my Ninja 636. I can tell you as a Yamaha 600 0wner if I started on a 600 I would not be alive typing this message today! 😊 I would not have been ready! 😅

I start off on a 300 cc bike. It was comfortable for me and I enjoy riding it. I had it for three years now I moved up to a 600.

Your R6 is nice, I love that white on white. It sounds really good. Your video is on point and I totally agree with your point of view. I was a young Marine in 1981, and a total car guy with no interest in bikes. My first duty station was 29 Palms in the Mohave Desert, Southern California. I couldn't get financed for a car so I got a bike. I'm 5'4" so I bought 250 Yamaha Exciter. It was a cruiser with a low seat so I could flat foot it. My first 2 cars had sticks I just asked the salesman what levers did what and rode it around the parking lot. It came natural to me. I was nervous on the highway for the first half hour, after that, I was fine. In 3 weeks I wanted something bigger. I had the 250 for 3 months before I got something bigger and if I had started on a 600 like yours, which is as fast as a 1000 back then, I'm sure I would not have ran it into something 😂. Great video. I subscribed and liked. Be safe Bro!

I started on a grom clone for a year and got to learn how to work on that damn thing alot and then jump into a 99 suzuki katana 600 project bike and we'll im still riding the riding it till today I didn't know anything about carbs and now I can balance and rejet carbs and rebuild all the brakes on alot of motorcycle so I kinda took it as a learning experience

I wanted to ride a motorcycle in the 90's when i was in my early 20's. I think i would've killed myself because I was immature and reckless. I was simply wasn't ready. I'm in my 50's now and have my M1 endorsement but ive been riding a 2021 Can Am Ryker 900cc for about a year now. It's a 3 wheeler but it improved my situational awareness as a rider and got over my anxiety riding a motorcycle. Now, im ready for a 2 wheeler. I'm 5'6" and 170 lbs and looking to get a Ninja 400 or an R3. Love your R6 and thanks for the advice, ride safe bro! ✌️😊

that's my thing bro! I dont have bike experience but I'm also 6'3. I don't wanna be crammed i wanna be comfortable. great content brodie

i recently turned 20, it’s been my absolute dream to get a motorcycle ever since i was little, i’ve watched countless videos since i was a child about motorcycle and motorcycle safety and i think im just gonna bite the bullet on a ninja 636 and respect the engine and not be a dumbass because i’m well aware how much a single mistake can cost you your life on them. once i complete the msf im gonna look for an somewhat used ninja 636 so i can finally have my dream bike and join the community. also nice r6 it looks nice!

I started on a 2004 cbr600 f4i. Granted I’ve been on bikes since I was 4 years old but I don’t regret starting on a 600 at all.

Thanks for the advice! I have wanted to ride for awhile and have been slowly saving up money and buying gear! I finally have all the gear and almost have enough saved for a starter bike and can’t wait to ride this spring

Started on dirt 4 wheelers, dirt bikes my first street bike was a 600 tho i fine has my share of crashes so i respect the bike especially on the street

I’m 6’1/6’2 250lbs not a fat 250 just a solid athletic built guy and my issue with a 400 is being bigger than a lot of ppl and being uncomfortable. I plan to go sit on a few bikes BUT I feel a 600 will be best for me to start on as I’m in my 30s don’t have a need for speed just wanna ride I have for along long time but our other priority’s ahead of riding. Also I don’t wanna suffer the pains of buying a 4/500cc bike and have difficulty selling it to upgrade. I checked my market place here around my city and it’s flooded with those sized bikes and smaller many ppl desperate to get rid of theirs and I see that as both good but also a very bad thing. Budget wise I’d rather take the money I’d spend on a smaller bike then upgrading to a larger bike and simply use it to get a 600 and take the remainder to invest in track days and any other riding courses. Our city streets are kinda trash and it illegal to lane split here and obviously stunt riding I.e wheelies spinnig tires as well so it’s gonna b cruising around just enjoying the vibes an exploring cause I’m not originally from here so it would be great to have to burna cpl hours on here n there

I got a 300 today....and im not ashamed to say this is what im starting on

i started on the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R and still riding it still learning

12:03 That stall caught me off guard. I laughed so hard bro, lmao... Anyway. Thanks for the advice, reassurance and bit of encouragement. I'm 6'4ft around 225lbs so starting on a 300-400cc would just look goofy. So I'm looking at the ZX6R atm. That ting just top beautiful and nice sounding.

Man you have the cleanest R6 on youtube right now.

I'm from Europe, so I have to start with something less than 48hp so 600,650cc is perfect. I can get a detune to 48hp and when I'm old enough I can just get it back to stock and can drive a bike I already know well and learn to ride more power

The first bike i bought was a Honda Goldwing gl1500 1989. I only bought it because the price was to good not to. But the one i drive now while taking the license is a Yamaha fzr 600 1990. I really dont care what other thinks about driving a 600, it was my dream bike and i love it :)

Ive been conflicted on what to get and recently fell in love with the Cbr600rr. Im 6'1 "and have been driving manual since i got my license almost 4 years ago, so i have a really good concept on how a clutch and shifting work. I think i might just go for it, honestly. Im gonna keep it below 10 or even 8k rpm for a decent bit

Automatic sub cus I saw you’re from sj 🔥 I’m trying to get a 600cc for my first bike I’m pretty big so I think I’ll be better on one of those I would just have to really control myself 😂 can’t wait to run into you one day bro ride safe

when looking for my first motorcycle, i was open to a lot of things, highly preferred a trike that can hold a lot of weight, cause i haul things a lot, i was selling my SUV i couldnt afford or need. but them trikes were too high for my budget, and most 600s have the desired weight to carry a lot, but its my first and I just couldnt. I did get my navi though c: 2023, 109cc.. not the fastest but it's very fun, it can carry enough for moderate grocery shopping (around $100 worth of random stuff that isnt watermelon huge) .. it's a great first experience to get enough before riding on something larger. I dunno how long itd take me to be comfortable on 1000cc+, but i was crazy to consider a honda goldwing xd silverwing is cool too though but don't see many of those. that white bike is really cool, I think my next bike will be a rebel 500 or something 600+ I'll save up eventually :)

Any bike other than turbo busa is a waste of money. I start on r6 and is definitely a waste of money. Everyone just be confident and go for busa the one and only bike everyone needed and deserved

3:05 i know the area, the only reason why i dont want to get a bike tbh, this video helped tho, been thinking about getting between a r3 and r6, hopefully run into you someday, be safe brother!

Great video. I'm getting a ducati scrambler as a newbie but with the restrictor kit, just to save on costs and hassle of buying a 250cc bike.

Ok so first I am 37 yrs old and 6ft 275 lbs. I have road my roomate's bike like 10+ years ago a few times. He taught me the basics and how to shift and stop. I come from a background of craigslist civics and few other cars. Did small mods and worked on them myself. I do love to go fast and I have been told I take corners fast. How ever I only do things in my car that I know how it works and will act. I was going to get a Ninja 400 non abs as my first so after a year or so I could make the 400 my track bike and then get a 600 or something. However with the Ninja 500 coming and all these other 400 ish bikes coming I have no idea what to get. I also kind of want to just save up for my dream bike Ninja 2024 Zx6r 636. Side note when I road his bike and learned I was terrified and always thought we were going faster than we were at first, so I defiantly have a respect for the bike and its ability to be bad quickly. Also since I am a bigger guy I don't know how a Ninja 500, Aprilia rs 457 or something like that would do with my weight. I don't need super 1000 speed but I want the safety of being able to get out of a bad spot.

I been riding my whole life I just never had a sports bike, but I’m gonna get a 3 or 400 for my dummy bike.

I started on a 2013 r6, been riding for 2 years

Here in the uk,to get your full licence you train and test on 600. But you need to be 24 years old for a full licence. I already want to upgrade my 650 to something bigger after just 2 months of riding.

Started on a 50cc Vespa tuned to 102cc and with some other mods, just now I'm about to buy a zx6r 636 from 2006 and I know it's all about respecting the machine otherwise I know i won't live much longer

Currently I have a 21 GSXR1000R and a 17 CB500F.

Just started on a Yamaha yzf 600 I would say still learning how to go in traffic and I definitely felt u when u said weight cuz being shorter always have to make sure the bike doesn’t fall 😂

Went from 50cc to cbr600cc 2007 no problemo

That’s what I did started on a thundercat had it 4 years now I’m with a 200cc Honda lol

Your bike is mad beautiful!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm 19 and have very little experience and have A 2025 ZX6R on the way

alright you sold me im getting a 1000cc bike 😁

I started on r15 last January and planning to buy r6 soon

try riding a 1000 or 600 on a european road, anyone can ride a bike on a big flat highway american road

looks like in america you only go in a straight line or around extraordinary huge crossroads for a slight turn. guess its not that hard to ride a 600cc+ bike there to be honest. :D

5:40 I'm confused... you learned to ride a bike on the road and switching gear but it sounds like you are talking about riding a bike without a licence? I'm so confused. How does that experience even compare to mine where i have 30+ hours of training to get my licence. And also you say you try to ride your bike safely but it does not even have mirrors because its a show model 😅.. how can you even ride safely if you have no idea what is behind you? What am i missing here. That bike is stupidly beautiful btw.

1000cc only

bought a hornet 600 after I took lessons and exams on a cb650

Yea I had a fast car a 2007 Nissan Altima

Great video. I'm a shorter guy. But I ain't no bitch. I'm from alaska. I have leg strength. However I'd like a cbr 600. I have ridden lots of dirt bikes. Snowmachines. And my buddies bobber once.

i dont have a ' need for speed ' i have a need for speed as in i live on the countryside and will have to go on highways up to 80mph

so what you are saying is get a s1000rr for my first bike got it😁👍🏽

I started on the FZ6 and it was great. I don’t know that I would recommend the r6 tho. That’s what I have now. It’s not exactly a starter bike

Thank you I'm 15 trying to decide what kind of bike I wanna get as my first bike and this was very helpful thank you

Does having a manual car as a daily mean anything when learning how to ride? I know that the operation is different in comparison to a motorcycle but the understanding of how a clutch work should be an advantage. I'm curious if that could theoretically allow me to start on a 600 without any other 2-wheel experience besides mountain biking.

no experience but i dont want to buy an r3 then have to buy an r6 3 months later. or an r7. suggestions ?

I’m 5’8 1/2 and looking to get a 600cc I’m guessing I should be tall enough? Don’t really have a need for speed & plan on taking a bikers course

The first sport bike I’ve rode was a r1 and I’m 17 but I plan on atleast getting something 600cc plus I have like 12 years of motocross experience is this a bad idea?

Great Channel 👍🙂

Did you ever crash on your first R6?

Is it a good choice to go from 2 years on a 125ccm to 600cc?

Question about the R6. I have heard a lot about the heat from the engine blowing towards your legs, is it a serious issue?

what year is your r6 ive been trying to figure this out for so long 😭😭

you're either competent or not , no difference between 600 , 300 , 1000 crash , if you don't understand physics you're going to die , on 600 at least you'll be more focused and aware so I'd argue you're going to be a safer driver besides skill ceiling is much more pronounced so you will be more aware of how physics work since you have more engine to experience physics , if you roll throttle 100% on 300cc you won't learn much , if you roll throttle 100% on 600cc you might slide rear tyre or you might not , and you will get a lot more information on how motorcycles work thats the main difference. you can learn a lot more.

I am 19 5,7 close to 200 would the 600 fit me or should I go with the r7

@MrHeadShotkiller here 🤔

First!!!

No

👍

Why did you choose to make your wheels look so stupid?

R6 so clean😍👑

Height Doesn’t mean anything
