honda: quality: true!
great video very informative and well done, thank you for putting out a quality no BS video , sound like a chill guy to ride with
He never said first time riders should start at 600…listen to what he says dude he says if uve ridden before on other bikes 600 is safe if ur new it will be too strong…
pPresstaggg Granadaaaaa
he’s doing a great job. so far i’m very impressed on what he discloses. very valueble info. thanks!
I think he is making a big mistake encouraging new riders to start on a 600cc supersport. He is going to get people killed with a comment like that, especially since he is expressing his qualifications as an “expert”. I ask Nicky Hayden and Valentino Rossi when I want an expert opinion.
true, true. I would love to have a suzuki gsxr 600 but if I have enough money I’ma get a piece of shit bike that doesn’t cost to much tu ensure too.
thx dude
basic things to look out for; do your wrists feel uncomfortable? if they do then its a no no for long trips. good quality brakes. weight – dont buy a granite bike for your first, you will regret it.
@KBWB5
buy a street bike that you want to ride and then get a cheap piece of crap to crash when you try stunting.
you have a few mistakes there. after the cbf before your test you are limited to 125cc (no bhp or kWh limit on 125) then after your test you are limited to 25kWh or 34bhp for 2 years, if you are 21+ before this period passes then you can do the DAS and ride unrestricted.
you could be an offroader or tracker.
your not going to listen to me but I have to say it anyway.. My first bike (took the MSF course) was a CBR 600rr. I wish i had started with an older CBR or maybe a Ninja 250.. Then I would be soo worried about hurting my 2007 baby… and I’d be able to “comfortably” learn riding in general.. other than that I’m just way way careful!!! it could easily kill you !!
I had a CBR 125 for a year and a half then got sick of it and bought a K6 GSXR-1000 And i am soooo happy i did! As long as you don’t go crazy off the hop, any size bike can be a good one to learn on. Obviously the smaller the cc the easier to learn but its all in respect to the throttle.
i want to get one of those sleek cool sport bike but maybe i should get a speed triple like every1 here is talking about
i think i got 3 more years to get my license
=D
cant wait to have a licence….but sadly i got 5 more years till i can take it lol
speed triple good choice. Dont kno about stunting tho.
“starting out on a one thousand isn’t a good idea unless you’ve been riding awhile”… because we all know you can ride for a while, and THEN be a starter. choad smoker, agreed
im 17 and want a bike liscence, in the UK you cant just get a speed triple or any bike over 125cc (33bhp) until youve passed your test with it and ridden it a couple of years. Then u can upgrade to anything up to a 250cc then pass another test- then at 21 you can take your full bike liscence- anything you want. A speed triple is a 600cc plus bike so no, not as your first. Unless u want to not ride it on the roads and kill uourself learning on it….
do you have any experince on bikes
better start with a street triple than..
more than enough power, and steering so smooth, it feels like you’re riding a bicycle
this guys a choad smoker
Don’t be a hater now, but I’m just a kid, and i have plans on getting a motorcycle license. Could someone give me some tips on streetbike that I eventually after a lot of practise also could use for stunting? is a speed triple an okay bike to start with? thx
my first bike ever was a lil ttr 125 four stroke trail bike. and then i hoped on my dad’s friend’s katana 600. and i would ride my friends 00′ gixxer 600 around town all the time. not too scary, but hey i have good throttle control . so with that being said. im going to buy a bike this dec or jan, and im really looking in on the cbr 600 f2 or f3s . i dont think i should have a prob.
what do you suggest?
