Should already be there..

The amount of "if you're mature enough you'll be fine on a 1000 for your first bike" or "you'll get bored of a 600" comments I hear and read all the time is embarrasing.

That's why you need to go 1344cc busa. It only goes around 80mph in first gear.

if the training is the problem, just take a 1000cc and invest in proper training

Oh I got chewed out for doing this. I used to ride a dirtbike as a kid and learned about having the brakes covered the hard way (deer in forest jumped in front of me). Had to do the licence without covering the brakes, but hey it is controlled environment so that was not really stressing me out. Then once I got my licence, the two fingers came back. Also the instructor was really bad, wonder how many of students of his ended up injured or worse because of the bad advice he gave. E.g. he genuinely hated the idea of countersteering and was adamant that the only way to steer is to lean and lean as hard as you can, MotoGP style. We would have to lean to do fast slalom... (you can't do it without countersteering in general, especially on 1000cc bike at 35mph/50kmph so you'd countersteer still but like covertly and then he'd be like "see, told you leaning more would do it"). Oh and this was not like 20 years ago. I did my licence last year.

What about the engine warmup the engine before acceleration

I guess MotoJitsu does not realize that 600cc supersports are uncomfortable for taller/bigger people hence why they get 1000cc and stick it in C mode. Happens all the time. If they decide to put it in A mode and send it thats the rider, not the bike. 1000cc are fine if you got money $$$ to spend on a bike with superior handling and brakes. We all know a Ninja 400 has shit brakes compared to a stock super bike.

In addition, homeboy riding the brake through the turns... And imo...terrible lines. Too close ro the DY

GREAT Advice, wish More People would take / read this information 🤙

Why can't it have the 300 nk engine for us experienced fools.

I respect your choice in wearing a hat like that. that's all

Im buying the new 2024 CBR 500r with the Fireblade colors. Delivered next week, i can't wait it's my second bike after my 2023 Honda Grom i bought june last year (trading it) I want to build a solid foundation and gradually upgrade. Thanks for all your advice !!

How did this woman become the GM? She speaks as if she has never ridden a motorcycle and merely read a magazine article.

My first bike was r3 I put 30,000km on it now have the s1krr was terrified at the start now I’m confident on it after a few weeks would of died if I bought it as my first bike

I 💯 agree .. however, if there is someone who is very disciplined and respect what the 1000cc bike power can do and keep it in a low power mode, it can be tamed. Most aren't capable of discipline and self control... If that's the case, be humble and stay away from a 200 hp bike. I'm perfectly happy with my 2022 cf moto 650nk and really not interested in anything bigger than this. 65hp and 48 lbs of torque is enough for me. Seriously. Picked it up for 3999 and 5800 out the door. Love this bike and so far it's been perfectly fine. Don't need a 1000cc bike. Ive been 125mph on this bike and it's plenty enough unless someone is planning to run from cops... Lol

Honestly i love my ninja 400. Only reason I would want a bigger bike is because it feels so slow when I have my gf on the back and the preload is a pain. For riding alone, the 400 is so nice.

what about the Honda CBR 600 RR?¿

Depends on how heavy your clutch is

I live in New Zealand, you aren’t allowed to ride such bike as a beginner, we have 3 stages license system. Learner and restricted your capped at 45hp motorcycles. Only after your 3rd stage full license you are able to ride any motorcycle you want.

I´m glad I bought my ninja 400 a year ago, I was scared at first as a almost 40 new rider, and not tall too...maybe in the future I´ll make the upgrade with a more powerful bike, something good for touring and more comfortable. Recommandations are welcome!

Any fool can go FAST ... with a twist of acceleration ... !!!! Real skills comes in SLOW riding, Twisty cornering, hazardous Braking etc.etc. I believe great riding in Slow mid-speed riding, satisfying cornerings on Twistys with excellent control Brakings ( being able to avoid accidents ) and these all need one's SKILLS ... !!!!! 😎

See guys sports bike, nakeds are okay

When I was a new rider, the bike that scared me the most was the 350 Enduro BullTaco. I couldn't imagine a 1000cc sportbike... my GL1800 barely hits 120mph. Stay smart & safe peeps!

Here in uk new riders are limited,silly thing is i got my license over 30 years ago , ride for a few years but havent ridden since, i can now get on any bike i want if im feeling stupid lol.

Im 58 yrs old and started riding in 2003 i started on a Suzuki burgman 650 scooter rode that for 3 yrs and went to a yamaha fjr1300 today i am now on 2023 honda gold wing and just bought a 2024 kawasaki ninja 1000sx i am so glad i started small and worked my way up to a liter bike

I can’t agree with you on this point. The R3 is too small for someone 6 foot 7, besides the R3 is not a good learning bike. I know of many people that jumped on a liter bike as the first and they are perfectly fine. Granted they were not 18-25 which makes a big difference. Maturity is the real issue. Hell, it ain’t even how I started. I only ride an R1 because I know how fast it is. On a 600 I would probably be in county. As far as your requirements for buying a liter bike, Legally in the US you can not mandate or require this kind of gibberish. It violates the personal choice that exists in law. It also violates fair business practices. Yes the UK has it, different government and rights. By your standards I could not buy a Ferrari because I have not passed tests and corses. Yet it is my money. Nope, can’t agree or even understand a socialist way of determining who is allowed to buy what…..

Is it cold in your house you have a winter hat on lol lol

But new riders won’t have to learn how to grab gears up or downshift to first when emergency braking. And can go 95?!? Sold! Thx Greg!!!

Buy the most powerful bike you can afford. Learn to ride it with additional training.

The driving school i was at had a Rebel 300 and a MT-07. After just a few weeks i crossed over to the MT-07 and since i practised with this bike for weeks before i got my license, i felt at home on the bike so i bought one as my first bike. Then 6-8 months later my buddy was going overseas to work and i got to buy his R1M for a super cheap price. Took me a couple of months then i sold it because it scared the sh!t out of me and im sure that i would have died on that monster. Got a profit without doing anything to it but that was the only positive thing about it. I do have a speed demon inside of me so sticking to a MT-07 is only good, the speed demon cant come out like it did on the R1M. GOnna buy a MT-09 next year. Love the Yams

I’m fine on my tuned MT-10 that power wheelies in 3rd at 90+ 🤷‍♀️

Motojitsu, can you give me a suggestion? Best sport, upright position, 4cyl, for 10k or less.

If you wanna do it right start out small then grow. This is fundamental.

Quadriplegia. Enough said.

Get mt10 instead... but not as a first bike ofc 😂

I ride a comparatively slow Airhead. When I have slow traffic in front that I am not going to pass for whatever reason. Intentionally go slow in the straights. So I can have fun on the corners.

100cc is a beginner bike not 400cc, Americans are spoiled, but with 400cc you can get easily hit 100mph and most new people don't know to control that

my brotha your hats fallin off

Get RR as your first bike, ride in rain mode and all safety features to the max and evolve, there is so much tech to be you safe on the 1000cc bike 😉

Thank you for Sharing ☺️👍 Wisdom & Knowledge

Its like buying a 2 seat sports car . It’s fun depending on your lifestyle. Be practical .

The guy must’ve never rode 70s bike. The brakes were terrible. If you didn’t wanna shift a lot, you’d rev the shit out of the engine pull in the clutch before a corner, and slowly ease out the clutch in the corner. I always called it engine breaking.

hey your beanie is falling off

Going fast in the twisties on the street is dangerous and people would argue you shoulden't be doing that anyway on the street. You are putting yourself and other people in danger all because you want to hit that corner really fast just like your on the track. Going fast in the twisties is responsible for alot of motorcycle death's and crashes that include cars. If a motorcycle rider is " lazy, and super slow " in the corners I would argue they are being safer on the road and respecting other drivers. You wanna go fast in the twisties take it to the track. Also, if you cant pass another motorcycle rider in a corner while they are going that slow sounds like you need to brush up on your cornering skills, lol.

lol you weren’t an outlier - you crashed by going on a too powerful bike.

I'm a 34 year old new rider and I've been thoroughly enjoying my 2023 BMW S1000RR. Took the MSF course and I always knew I wanted a 1000cc. No regrets and I'd do it all over again. I'm going to California SuperBike School and I can't wait.

Wow, you were out cornering Panigales on your 300. Thats hilarious!!😂

My first bike is a 400. I've gained SO much confidence building my skills on it through repeated classes and practice. The only thing I don't like about it is . . . okay, nothing. I am finally figuring out the whole cornering thing, and although I'm not yet ready for my Big Girl Bike, I feel like I will be by next Spring. Thanks FE for your wisdom and continuing willingness to share it - I feel like I have an upper hand out there as a result of your channel.

There’s nothing in the motorcycle world that annoys me more than the ‘bro your going to get bored with that in a month get at least a 600 sport bike’ or the ‘sportsters are slow girls bikes do yourself a favor and get the 1200 right away’. In my opinion, a 600 sport bike or even an 883 are still WAY TOO MUCH bike for someone who’s never touched a motorcycle. I’ve seen so many first time riders eat it big time learning on a 50-125cc dirt bike, let alone a 600 pound cruiser or a sport bike that does 150mph effortlessly. START SMALL GUYS it’s not a competition to see who can wrap it around a tree first.
