The new 400rr is a fast as 600cc sport bikes used to be.. The 400rr is still super fast for a new rider. Honestly I suggest getting a street legal Enduro bike for your first bike . Almost everyone drops their first bike multiple times and you can practice in a field with it also. Also, when you drop it, it won't damage it near as much and a set of plastics you can get for 150 bucks. I suggest taking the new plastics off right away and install cheap aftermarket plastics and then you can change it back to the new ones , sell it and then go get a 400.

Bruh. Where tf are all these clowns coming from pretending you can't slow ride a liter bike...yall obviously have never ridden one before. Take that big lever on the left handlebar, pull it, put it in 1st, let go of said lever and do nothing else. There you go, perfectly idling on balance at 5mph, arguably better balance than a mountain bike, and definitely better than any vespa. My 06' fz1 was the first bike I could physically balance at a standstill. Not cuz "I'm that good", just cuz it really just is "that easy" with a proper balanced bike. I physically can't do it with my MX, and near impossible with a scooter since you have practically zero front rake angle. And on a vespa its even worse due to the single front stay and that stupid inverted little swingarm on the front. No sir, you have no fkn clue what you are talking about. Learning on a vespa is in my opinion the worst thing you can do if your aspirations are for a 1L bike eventually...if that's not your goal, why tf you commenting on this video mate?

My friend died on a 1000 in October. He had a 650 for a few months and switched to a cbr1000rr. He died shortly after. He was a natural athlete/rider. The problem with these superbikes, they can make you feel way more comfortable and in control than you actually are. It can and will be lethal or permanently life changing if you make a mistake. I wont say dont buy one as your first bike, some people truly are capable and mature enough, but all it takes is one impulsive move and its over for you and life is forver changed for your loved ones. A saying I heard when I was a teenager holds a lot of weight... When you start riding, you have two sacks, one is empty and one is full, the empty one is experience, and the full one is luck. If you dont fill your experience sack before you empty your luck sack, you won't make it home. If you start on a liter bike, you are starting with two empty sacks. Ride safe and think of your family/friends when you make your decision.

S1000 double R was my first. No crashes, tickets, or losses racing. It’s the maturity level of the rider that dictates the amount of discipline and respect you give the bike and yourself. There are plenty of electronics on modern bikes to make it safer to ride and tone down the performance, but it still comes down to the nut between your ears, not your legs. Learn, grow, then unleash the beast.

i disagree, you may be more talented but not everyone have good grip of control. i remember my first 3 months on my MT-03 i have few almost accident but lucky my bike wasn't fast enough. there were one time i try to practice turning in parking lot but i accidentally put throttle while try to use the brake and almost crash into the car infront of me, a good thing my bike's acceleration wasn't that fast so i have time to react to stop (about less than like 10cm to hit something). and also turning corner, the control is new to me too and when i first start riding i also have issue to coordinate between using clutch and brake and throttle. as i never drove a manual before so the whole concept is new. my point is for new beginner, those small precise control if do anything slightly wrong you may accidentally speed into the road and crash. i have biked for 2 years now and I now ride a 950cc (Streetfighter v2). but i can't imagine how my early beginning mistake will cost me if i have my SFv2 right at the start instead of having small bike like MT-03. i learned a lot from riding a small bike which i also recommand all beginner should as well

If you use throttle instead of brakes you should not be on any bike peroid. Not trying to be an ass but not handling that, and the basics of shifting you are a danger on the road. How you got a license is beyond me. Thats why in the EU you need to take lessons, and then with time and practice youll master the basics and you get your license so you wont kill anyone. About an hour, 25 to 40 lessons is the average. Then you need to pass the written test, and the practial test. Also under 27 you cant buy a high horse power bike. Wich also forces a more mature on high power bikes. The law is pretty helpfull sometimes. Lowers deaths on bikes compared to other counties/continents. Stats dont lie. Also just like with cars, driving a manual gives you much more control and skill. Shifting learns you alot. Multi tasking is one of them. Pressing gas and brakes only is very easy, and makes most people to confident to speed a corner etc. Be safe out there, and take your time. Set ego aside and enjoy the twisties.
@jk2l6 ай бұрын
@indospartan yes I know but as beginner those precise control is something need lot of practice. It is not I plan to use throttle but when I squeeze the brake I accidentally pushed the trotter too (both on right hand). I dont have that issue anymore. But my point is I don't think encouraging beginner for high power bike is good idea. As the higher the output the less margin of error. And anyone inexperienced may cause accidents.

Absolutely. I had a dirtbike 125cc when i was 14-16. Got my first road bike a 1979 cx500 honda lmao at age 31, but after a week or two refreshing myself i can ride it like a pro. Rain or shine, no traction and terrible brakes etc. no matter what happens i know how to regain control of the bike. Anyone can ride a bike that still in control. It takes a real rider to save their skin when its out of control, or when a car pulls out in front of you. You need to be able to brake hard and fast and not lock up, chances are you will. And a good rider can recover from that and regain stability. Too many street riders have no idea how a bike handles ones those sticky rubbers DO break free. Riding dirt gives you those skills. This is the absolute best advice i could give a new rider, along with check your ego and dont go fast until you can stop even faster and turn hard at a quick notice. Too many riders turn towards their turn instead of doing a brief countersteer to get the bike leaning and it causes them to overshoot the turn. See it dozens of times

Just go ride a liter bike pls. You're embarrassing yourself right now. They are SOOO much more docile than any zx6r of any year model. Don't get me wrong, fk around and you'll find out. But street riding is infinitely safer with a thou if you are mature enough in my opinion. It's realy only like mid 2000 GSXR 1000s that edge into the 600's realm of extreme ergo. I'll be more comfortable arguing the exact opposite as you just did...For a beginner and an advanced rider the skill gap is much smaller on a thou than on a 400. You can go to a track as a complete newbie and have your world shaken by a thou, and would need 10+ years experience to have the same feeling on a 400 on track. There's no reason to go full throttle on a thou on the streets, this much I'll grant you, but in the same breath I guarantee you way more thou's are riding around partial throttle than 600s.

But both of us were also car people and have pretty good driving skills driving fast cars. Neither one of us has ever had a car accident either. If you have that mechanic intuition, it doesn’t matter what you start on.

There's one guy I know he started on zx10r now he change to s1000rr. So asked him which one is better R6 or s1000rr he says better get s1k he also ask me do you know how to ride 250cc right.i said yes.

Yup. Absolutely agree. Just to add to this, as you're learning to ride you'll be thinking a lot about what you're doing and will not have developed the instinctive reactions necessary to get yourself out of trouble as quickly as a 1000cc+ bike can get you there. Things just happen a lot quicker than you realize when you step up to that power level.
@britrider3 ай бұрын
It's great advice. I'll also add that if you're just starting out, you shouldn't be riding in a stressed position. Basically means that being on a sport bike is uncomfortable, you can't truly relax and it hinders your ability to observe the world around you. Sitting up comfortably relatively straight on a motorcycle is an advantage. Then once you have experience seeing how traffic/people behave on the road unhindered, get that litre bike or whatever you desire next.

Not even two weeks in I participated in a group ride of at least 50 riders. I was the 5th to go down that day at 120 on a one way. I was so close to smacking into another rider that i took some clothing off from his trousers, and oncoming SUV that nearly hit me a foot away while i was essentially lane splitting. As a new rider I panicked, and hit both brakes hard making the busa lock up, and threw me off. I rolled about 20 times, and got some light road rashes, but i was able to get up, and live another day...

As a former AMA Expert/Pro license holder in both 125cc Motocross and 250cc/350cc Road Race, I always counsel new riders that they shouldn't even start with a street bike, let alone a sport bike. Start with a dirt bike/dual sport. If you can progress to motocross racing even better! The lessons you learn trying to go fast off road, where the get off's are usually less dangerous, will make you a much safer and faster rider on the street.

Look, In 2012 I started out on a 1000cc (2002 Yamaha R1) with a graves 1056cc big bore motor in it that came out of a homoligated road race bike. I never went down on it and haven't been down once since I started riding. Not saying it won't ever happen because it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. The key is to respect the power the motorcycle has, dont ride like an idiot, be aware of your surroundings, dont ride outside of your comfort zone or experience level, dont push yourself to keep up with reckless or more experienced riders, and always wear proper gear (helmet, jacket. Gloves, pants, boots). Staying fit and keeping your reflexes in top shape does help a lot with reaction times well. Sure you can open the throttle up here and there but don't do it when you shouldn't. Starting on a 1000cc isn't a bad thing, but it isn't for every rider.

These things make more speed that we know what to do with. Also do not skimp on tyres, like at all. Get the best thing you can put your hands on. It will save you on brakes, swerves and whatever there is. If you got no money to do a set of tyres a season, dont get a 1000. Your life is more important.

I wish I’d never seen a 600, the 1,000 is so much more smooth and comfortable, it handles so much better and the throttle response is literally scary, I can understand how ppl say to buy the small bikes first, but if u really want a bike u will want to keep and ride for a few years, go against the opinions and get the litre bike and just take it easy the first 5,000 miles and you’ll get used to the power.

As a german, this isnt even a question. You could do a litre bike, but only at 22. The option most people do is 125cc at 16, then a 400-500cc at 18 and then unlimited at 20. Youre also allowed to do bigger bikes earlier if you have the previous license. E.g.: you did a1 (125cc) at 16, then you can do a2 (400-500 or regulated 600) at 18. If you do a2 as your first license, you habe to start at 20 yo

I work at a bike shop that sells Chinese imports. Whenever a guy or girl comes in to buy their first bike, and they have little to zero experience on two wheels, I always point them to our Vader. Yeah, it's a tiny 125cc, and yeah, we have 250cc bikes (and scooters), but I tell them it's best to start off slow and learn on a small/slow bike for the exact reasons you just described in the video. Plus, learning on a smaller bike makes it easier to recover if/when you eventually have your first layover/crash. It's easier to wrestle a small 250-500 lbs bike out of the road than a 600+ lbs sport or touring bike by yourself. Like I have always heard: you need to learn to walk before you run. As for my personal experience with bikes, I got some time in on a small 80cc Honda 80 XR dirt bike. I rode it for around the backroads near my home for a year before the stator went out, but I had a blast. I'm currently looking to get my first "real" riding bike, which is a 1980s 400cc Honda Rebel. I'm still hoping the motor won't be too much of a jump in power, but know well enough how much respect bikes demand when learning their quirks and behavior. Either way, I plan on going to a motorcycle safety course, just to learn and practice with it.

My first bike was actually 2008 R1, now it's been 9 years and I'm still riding it. Had some small slides, but gear kept me injury-free. No big crashes. My reasoning back then was that liter bike engines last significantly longer than even of 600cc, and yes it still runs as good as new, apart from replacing some minor parts like clutch discs. Usually riding 8k-11k RPM, in city, track, everywhere. So it depends (on person). Also, starting on underpowered small bikes may give you bad throttle habits so you'll run into issues if you upgrade later.
