shit my first bike was an r6s 08' great bike dont listen to the assholes who say a 600 is to big! if your not gonna go be stupid or showoff its perfect
Agreed.....so glad she and I don't fall into that catagory.
Off topic......some people shouldn't assume/comment on without knowing what they are talking about (watching other vids of that person on their channel). So glad you and I know better than to watch a 1 minute vid and assume someone shouldn't ride ;)
I've never ridden a bike before in my life until this summer, and started off with a 250cc. Worst mistake ever. I ended up trading it in for a 2007 R6 within a month. Good choice on her first bike.
I hear you...that's why I didn't get her a 250. I've heard others say the smae thing.....after a few months they get bored and trade up. Congrats on the R6.
C'mon gents....support the ladies. Or you don't think chicks that ride are hot? Trust me she can ride better than most. Check our her canyon riding vids.
@TheNigger12@thatdumbassnigger12 I never said anything about races, I said best bike. Lookup 600's shoot outs and u will see who is king u dumbass I bet u like Suzuki
Except that they throw more rod bearings than honda, Kawasaki, and Suzuki combined from 06-07. Yamaha went to a wider bearing in 08. Don't get me wrong, every company has some flukes. The 08 CBR1k consumed oil, the 05 GSXR1k snapped frames, and the new ZX10R had a recall for the intake springs.
@dbsshadow Thanks. Sorry to hear about your buddies R6. Hope he was ok. Nah...probably not the color. Thing is when you ride agressively you increase the chance of something bad happening. But then again you could be just cruising and something bad could happen to. Just gotta be as careful as possible.
@vqd0212 she is also 5'4...excuse me, she is 5'4 1/2. Yes, she gives me crap for robbing her of the half an inch, LOL! But 1/2 an inch isn't really a deal breaker. You can get an R6, you just have to learn to deal with the trade offs. You can also do a few things to lower the bike a little. But as she always reminds me, she spends more time moving than parked.....biker chicks rock!
Its true I think some riders to become better drivers. I've always been a safe driver, and Im a girl :) but since Ive started riding motorcycles I am a lot more cautious about my surroundings. I pay attention and notice everything now when I drive. Kinda funny.
@Shogun09R1 if their on your channel i'll go look, but from my experience their hasn't been very many women that i met that can drive well, on anything that is....ahaha
@AllMightyMac hahaha...funny thing is she became a better driver (of cars) after she started riding the R6. Not 100% sure how that works, but it's true. I sent you a few of her vids in a pm. Just check your inbox and you should see them. Let me know what you think.
Btw: I checked out your channel...pretty cool gamer channel. Gonna tell my son about it it. He loves Black Ops and MW.
ohhh so it was her on the other video where she had this white and red leather with skull. she surely is tall enough to ride the bike. I'm 5'5 and still confused if I should get this R6 as my first bike =[
@bhooowan3 yeah that's her. She's 5'5" also. She never really had a problem with not being able to completely touch the ground flat footed. She touches with the tips of her feet. Or leans the bike left and flat foots it that way on one foot. I gave her crap about that one day and she told me: "How much time do you really think I'm going to spend stationary?" Nuff said. Dunno about it as a first bike for you. Only you can answer that for yourself. But weigh all the pros and cons. Good luck.
@torontothegood hahaha....yeah the bike is sweet. But let me hit you with this: When it is snowing and cold as hell, you can't ride the bike. See where I'm going with this? Now if you can have both the bike and the girl, best of both worlds, even when it's snowing ;)
Just goofin' off man. Take care and thanks for watching and commenting.
@OkiHondaGirl I believe you. That's why I would never, ever....ride your new bike the day after you got it. I would wait two days...and if I did wreck it....I would run for the hills
Ride safe and thanks for telling me you would kill me :P
Haha... SURE it as bought for HER. "Here honey, I'm going to buy YOU and Bike that I'M going to ride" Thats something I would pull. Just not the highside thing. Thanks for commenting on my video
@silence6210 Got lucky...the original estimate was something like $5100.00. They approved it, paid the dealer, dealer ordered parts. Parts came in, they started repairs and found another $2300.00 worth of damage (not exact figures, but close). Insurance was in too deep, so they approved and paid the second estimate. Bike came out of the shop like new : )
Had they found everything at once, it would have been totaled for sure.
@92guzman1 based purely on looks, we like the R6. Neither my Lady or myself will ever get ever bit of performance out of our bikes that a Rossi, Stoner, Crutchlow, Pedrosa, etc, etc could. So we chose to get a bike that looks great and we like overall. I don't buy into the hype of magazines or those guys who claim they know bikes (you know who they are). Just get what you like and what makes you happy...screw what is popular opinion, your opinion is the one that matters. Thanks for watching : )
@Shogun09R1 Thats exactley it mate I love R6`s and Yamaha but everyone to there own.I think about 95% of us cant ride these machines to there full potential so go for the machine/brand that suites you.....Ive just got a 2008 R6 in graphite love it will post a vid soon...peace
I cant help but shake my head at this video, getting a very unforgiving, track orientated bike for someone who clearly doesn't even have a clue how to start it up, much less ride it.
What is it with yanks wanting to run before they can walk? (and even my American mates point this out to me before you call me a hater)
@wolfyys you have every right to do whatever you want with your head. Same reason we chose an R6 for her, we have the right.
I would not call you a hater...that would be rude. Uninformed, closed minded, unimaginative, among a few other similiar descriptions, maybe...but not a hater. I will send you a link to a recent ride she went on, please watch it. Maybe then you will realize we are all different. Some of us can run before we can walk. I am a shinning example of that handicap. Peace : )
"Uninformed, closed minded, unimaginative, among a few other similiar descriptions"
I'm sorry, but I find this situation all too common, buy what ever machine you wish, I just do not agree with people buying crotch-rockets for a first machine when there are plenty of other beginner friendly machines to choose from like the FZ6, GSR600, Monster 696
@wolfyys the fact that you do not agree with me lends weight to my stance that everyone is different. That diffenence is what makes some able to start on a "beginner freindly" R6 or a "beginner freindly" FZ6. Man if you can't see that some can't handle an old school moped and others, albeit rare, can start on a busa, than you are as I said in my previous comment, uninformed, closed minded, etc, etc.
I'm in no way trying to start a pissin' match on youtube...so relax. It's only a bike ; )
@mackychris24 Thanks...she loves the color. Most of the world would say a any 600cc bike is too much. We the few say....only you can decide where you should start. Please read a few of the comments on this video so you can see the many different opinions that sre out there. The fact is only you know what you can handle. Good luck in your choice, we wish you the best of luck :)
How tall is she? In cm if possible..dumb question i know but i'm about to buy my first 600 sportive bike and i'm deciding between the CBR, the GSX-R and the R6.
I had the luck to try a 2004 R1 and i love the Yamaha look, deep sound etc. but the R6 seemed to small to me..don't want one that looks too big but not a 125-like one too.
@Shogun09R1 yeah the R6 is the only one i like totally(sound, design etc.) . The only thing i'm not sure about is its "bigness" (not english sorry for the lame word xD ) ..the gixxer seems to much of a Gundam to me(front and behind) even though i liked it at first and the CBR's..well never found one to try but i still like Yamaha more overall. I'll hit you back when i'll have my bike, thanks for the infos dude :)
@Maurbel in reality, due to the time of the "incident" it wasn't even a day old. As far as beating the shit outta of me.....nah......I'm still full of it. Take care, thanks for watching and commenting ; )
@Kurisusan89 C'mon man...not everyone needs to start on a 250 or a scooter or a video game. Check out some of her latest riding videos and you will see her progress. As far as safe...that's why I don't go outside anymore...just to darn dangerous : (
@Shogun09R1 no one NEEDS to start on a 250, but It's a lot more comfortable than starting on a 600 hahaha. If she pulled it off, more power to her and congrats. Has she crashed yet? Most people back out once they crash.
@Kurisusan89 nope...no crash yet. At least nothing worth mentioning. I hope she is the exception to the rule. IMO..."riders" do not back out when they crash...those that back out once they crash, maybe shouldn't have been there in the first place. Big difference between a rider and a person who rides. And so no one gets bent with me...being a rider does not have anything to do with skill level, again, just my opinion.
@Kurisusan89 what a dumbass comment.... i've had a couple of mates who have riden for yrs get on my bike and tried to start it and fail, not because they're idiots but because neither of them had owned or riden a suzuki before and didn't know that on them you have to hold in the clutch to start it.
@bluewinegum how is that relevant to my comment? I'm saying she has no idea how to ride and she's getting on one of the fastest 600s out there. IE not smart.
Hey bro....you are rite she has no idea how to ride when I bought her this bike. But, I was smart enough to not let her ride it home ;)
Seriously, she learned just fine and today is a kick @ss rider. Check her vids out and see for yourself. Don't get me wrong, not everyone can be taught to start on an R6. But she did and did well.
@Kurisusan89 it's relevant because you said, and i quote "she's on an R6 and she doesn't even know how to start a bike" so i was pointing out that even experienced riders sometimes dont know how to start a bike e.g pulling clutch in on suzuki's. Also whats wrong with starting on a 600? i did and i know plenty of people that did and was no big deal, everyone is different and whats right for you isn't always right for someone else.
@SaftAusKeine conradulations!!!.....I think this is the first purely negative comment I have ever had. Not positive....but I think it is. No worries though...it is after all a cell phone video. Also, most videos don't do the real thing justice, much less audio from a cell phone. If you've ever heard a stock '09 R6 rev then you'd know they don't sound that bad for stock. But you aare correct in that the video does sound horrible. Thanks for watching and commenting ; )
Sorry, it wasn't meant as negative - just my observation. heard/seen quite a few videos like this (motorcycle engines starting, being revved etc) and most of them have a higher sound along with the lower sound too.
didn't know it was a camera phone btw, thought it was a comcorder/digital camera.
@SaftAusKeine No worries...hope I didn't come off like a jerk, not my intention. Hope to have a better exhaust on her bike soon. Will post a better vid with better sound a.s.a.p. Check out the new exhaust on my R1, let me know what you think. Vid name is "Yamaha R1 - This is Shogun". Thanks for commenting, hope you like the R1 sound : )
I really like the bike. I almost bought the same bike, but went with the gsxr 600 instead...hopefully get some videos up soon. I like the video, congratulations on the new bike!
@crimedizzyinyourface Thanks....she really enjoys it. Congradulations on the Gixxer. Been taking a closer look at them and am noticing how much adjustability they have in the foot pegs. Wish both my Yamaha's where that user friendly. Enjoy the new bike and stay safe.
@westeh Absolutely sure.....when I see her pass other riders on Ortega...I know...when she talks about her bike...I know...when she has to drive our truck and she complains about traffic...I know. I could go on and on. As soon as she breaks in her new tires I'll post a video of her getting her lean on. Hope you check it out. Thanks for watching and commenting.
if i've never rode a motorcycle, but am willing and psyched to start taking MSF course and to ride a motorcycle, what bike do you think will be appropriate. i want one with sick sound and a fast one.
note, i want a really good one to begin with because i can get used to the speed more. i do not intend to speed like a maddog with the bike, but to improve and get better faster.
i was considering kawasaki 250r ninja but its like 250cc. i may sound arrogant but i want to own* a fast motorcycle
@o0jun0o you sound like you already know what you want. Go for what makes you happy. You can't go wrong with any of the 600's that are out there. Best thing to do is go to several dealerships and sit on several of the 6's and see what feels rite to you. Ask yourself what is important, comfort, looks, reputation, how and where you plan on riding, etc. Then decide what suits you best. Good luck and let me know what you decide. Stay safe and take it at your own pace.
@UnderFireGaming I can't really answer that.....I would have to know the person wanting to ride.....and even then, it would only be an opinion. Fact of the matter is it depends on the individual learning. Many factors to consider, such as, maturity, physical apptitude, financial ability, what you plan on using the bike for, how long you plan on keeping it, taste in bikes or brands, etc. I can tell you the smaller the bike the easier to control and not be intimidated. Fear is not helpful.
@UnderFireGaming Part 2: respect for the power of the bike chosen and maturity to me are the most important factors. Patience and knowing your limits are also important. Bottom line is research it and make sure you belong on a bike before taking the leap. If a person is not a "rider" they should not be on a bike. Good luck in your decision and I wish you many safe miles of riding.
Thanks for the advice. And yea. Im 17 and ill be 18 in 3 months, so once i turn 18 my rents are gonna help me buy 1. but im thiking about getting a Honda Cbr now. Which i think is my final chice, and i had a dirt bikebefore. I quit riding about 2 years ago. But im planning on taking the class and everything. Thanks for the help, and let me know if u have any more tips.
@UnderFireGaming Your welcome.....one last piece of advice....ride your ride....never let anyone pressure you into riding unsafely beyond your limits. You can go to the edge, but don't go too far past that point. Your edge will increase with every ride and every mile. You will get better.....the only question is how fast and how much of a risk you are willing to take. Upload a vid of your new bike when you get it, Honda CBR is a great bike! Good luck and stay safe.
@antonyM2007 so can a bar of soap in the shower. I guess I don't believe bikes kill people, I believe people kill bikes and unfortunetly sometimes themselves. That is only my opinion. I do appreciate your honesty and I respect your point of view. Thanks for watching and commenting.
wow she seemed so new to bikes at that point of time. Just my opinion but it would have been better if she started off with kawasaki 250 or hysung. Man what a lucky girl, nice bike by the way.
@southstar0511 Thanks......she was brand new.....but know she's really comfortable with her R6. We are both happy her first bike is an R6. Thanks for watching and commenting : )
Don't start with a bike that you care if you drop it once or twice. I started off with a yamy tw 200 and I'm not afraid to drop it. Just don't ever get "too comphortable" that's when shit hits the fan
Thanks for the good advice. Yeah man, not like driving a car, take your eyes of the ball on a bike and your in trouble. Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care and ride safe : )
I think it really depends on the person learning. Some say you have to start with a 250. I disagree, if your scared or stupid, you can kill yourself on a scooter. I spent an hour pushing the bike down a slight hill and showing her what the bike will do. She would almost drop it, but I would make sure it didn't fall. Then I had her start it and cruise around in first gear. She started shifting on her own and got better little by little. She has dropped it since, but nothing major. Good luck.
@M1GHTiETURK thanks for the advice, but i've already bought an r6 , it's very fast and not everybody can ride it for a first bike , but luckily i learned on it without dropping it and now i ride it easily.
@Shogun09R1 thanks very much , i got it new , same color as your wife's bike , it's a 2009 , because the 010 version is all white , luckily i found a new 09 , i've really enjoyed having it , i didnt expect that it's so funny and enjoyable to ride a bike , also , i met alot of bikers and now i ride in group and i travel with it , i strongly believe that i'm living the best days of my life right now.
@mimito92 That is so cool! I can feel the happiness in your words. I am happy for you and wish you many years of joyful riding. Ride safe and keep the rubber side down : )

She got a bike and you crashed it the next day? I would have killed you!!!!! Literally KILLED you!!!
OkiHondaGirl 1 year ago
@OkiHondaGirl I believe you. That's why I would never, ever....ride your new bike the day after you got it. I would wait two days...and if I did wreck it....I would run for the hills
Ride safe and thanks for telling me you would kill me :P

@YoGuy121 yep....makes a huge difference. Hopefully if I can talk her into an exhaust I can do an updated walk around.
Take care and thanks for commenting : )

Haha... SURE it as bought for HER. "Here honey, I'm going to buy YOU and Bike that I'M going to ride" Thats something I would pull. Just not the highside thing. Thanks for commenting on my video

@silence6210 you see rite thru my evil plot. Which BTW, backfired....she loves to ride her (my spare) bike :(
Just kidding. It was solely for her. I'll stick to my R1.
Your welcome...your vid was really cool.

@Shogun09R1 So did the insurance replace it or pay for it?
silence6210 1 year ago
@silence6210 Got lucky...the original estimate was something like $5100.00. They approved it, paid the dealer, dealer ordered parts. Parts came in, they started repairs and found another $2300.00 worth of damage (not exact figures, but close). Insurance was in too deep, so they approved and paid the second estimate. Bike came out of the shop like new : )
Had they found everything at once, it would have been totaled for sure.
Shogun09R1 1 year ago
@Shogun09R1 So basically its a R6 with about $14000+ invested in it. Well does she at least like it?
silence6210 1 year ago
@silence6210 Like it??? She loves that bike. If you get a chance check out some of my vids of her riding. She's getting pretty good.

That is definantly one of the sexier paint schemes that Yamaha made, need to get rid of that horrible license plate thingy though.

@Saint305616 my Lady agrees about the paint scheme....I was leaning towards the orange/black...but she pulled rank being that it was for her, LOL!!!
Oh yeah...that license plate bracket is horrible. It was one of the first things to go.

2009 cbr600 or r6, what bike do you like more ?
92guzman1 1 year ago
@92guzman1 based purely on looks, we like the R6. Neither my Lady or myself will ever get ever bit of performance out of our bikes that a Rossi, Stoner, Crutchlow, Pedrosa, etc, etc could. So we chose to get a bike that looks great and we like overall. I don't buy into the hype of magazines or those guys who claim they know bikes (you know who they are). Just get what you like and what makes you happy...screw what is popular opinion, your opinion is the one that matters. Thanks for watching : )
Shogun09R1 1 year ago
@Shogun09R1 Thats exactley it mate I love R6`s and Yamaha but everyone to there own.I think about 95% of us cant ride these machines to there full potential so go for the machine/brand that suites you.....Ive just got a 2008 R6 in graphite love it will post a vid soon...peace

I cant help but shake my head at this video, getting a very unforgiving, track orientated bike for someone who clearly doesn't even have a clue how to start it up, much less ride it.
What is it with yanks wanting to run before they can walk? (and even my American mates point this out to me before you call me a hater)
wolfyys 1 year ago
@wolfyys you have every right to do whatever you want with your head. Same reason we chose an R6 for her, we have the right.
I would not call you a hater...that would be rude. Uninformed, closed minded, unimaginative, among a few other similiar descriptions, maybe...but not a hater. I will send you a link to a recent ride she went on, please watch it. Maybe then you will realize we are all different. Some of us can run before we can walk. I am a shinning example of that handicap. Peace : )
Shogun09R1 1 year ago
@Shogun09R1
"Uninformed, closed minded, unimaginative, among a few other similiar descriptions"
I'm sorry, but I find this situation all too common, buy what ever machine you wish, I just do not agree with people buying crotch-rockets for a first machine when there are plenty of other beginner friendly machines to choose from like the FZ6, GSR600, Monster 696
wolfyys 1 year ago
@wolfyys the fact that you do not agree with me lends weight to my stance that everyone is different. That diffenence is what makes some able to start on a "beginner freindly" R6 or a "beginner freindly" FZ6. Man if you can't see that some can't handle an old school moped and others, albeit rare, can start on a busa, than you are as I said in my previous comment, uninformed, closed minded, etc, etc.
I'm in no way trying to start a pissin' match on youtube...so relax. It's only a bike ; )

is the r6 a good starting bike? nice color too by the way
mackychris24 1 year ago
@mackychris24 Thanks...she loves the color. Most of the world would say a any 600cc bike is too much. We the few say....only you can decide where you should start. Please read a few of the comments on this video so you can see the many different opinions that sre out there. The fact is only you know what you can handle. Good luck in your choice, we wish you the best of luck :)
Stay safe.

@Shogun09R1 thank you!
mackychris24 10 months ago
How tall is she? In cm if possible..dumb question i know but i'm about to buy my first 600 sportive bike and i'm deciding between the CBR, the GSX-R and the R6.
I had the luck to try a 2004 R1 and i love the Yamaha look, deep sound etc. but the R6 seemed to small to me..don't want one that looks too big but not a 125-like one too.
Margalus89 1 year ago
@Margalus89 She is 5ft 5in, sorry not in cm. too beat to do the math.
Can't go wrong with any of the popular 600's. Each has it's ups and downs. Pick one that overall meets most of your needs and wants.
Nothing wrong with starting on a big bike as long as you have self control.
Good luck in your choice. Love to hear back from you with what you choose.
Take care.
Shogun09R1 1 year ago
@Shogun09R1 yeah the R6 is the only one i like totally(sound, design etc.) . The only thing i'm not sure about is its "bigness" (not english sorry for the lame word xD ) ..the gixxer seems to much of a Gundam to me(front and behind) even though i liked it at first and the CBR's..well never found one to try but i still like Yamaha more overall. I'll hit you back when i'll have my bike, thanks for the infos dude :)

she's on an R6 and she doesn't even know how to start a bike? That sounds safe =)
Kurisusan89 1 year ago
@Kurisusan89 C'mon man...not everyone needs to start on a 250 or a scooter or a video game. Check out some of her latest riding videos and you will see her progress. As far as safe...that's why I don't go outside anymore...just to darn dangerous : (
Take care and stay safe man.
Shogun09R1 1 year ago
@Shogun09R1 no one NEEDS to start on a 250, but It's a lot more comfortable than starting on a 600 hahaha. If she pulled it off, more power to her and congrats. Has she crashed yet? Most people back out once they crash.
Kurisusan89 1 year ago
@Kurisusan89 nope...no crash yet. At least nothing worth mentioning. I hope she is the exception to the rule. IMO..."riders" do not back out when they crash...those that back out once they crash, maybe shouldn't have been there in the first place. Big difference between a rider and a person who rides. And so no one gets bent with me...being a rider does not have anything to do with skill level, again, just my opinion.
Hopefully, she never crashes. Ride safe man : )
Shogun09R1 1 year ago
@Shogun09R1 good that she hasnt crashed. Good point about riders and people who ride too. You ride safe too

@Kurisusan89 what a dumbass comment.... i've had a couple of mates who have riden for yrs get on my bike and tried to start it and fail, not because they're idiots but because neither of them had owned or riden a suzuki before and didn't know that on them you have to hold in the clutch to start it.
bluewinegum 6 months ago
@bluewinegum how is that relevant to my comment? I'm saying she has no idea how to ride and she's getting on one of the fastest 600s out there. IE not smart.
Kurisusan89 6 months ago
@Kurisusan89
Hey bro....you are rite she has no idea how to ride when I bought her this bike. But, I was smart enough to not let her ride it home ;)
Seriously, she learned just fine and today is a kick @ss rider. Check her vids out and see for yourself. Don't get me wrong, not everyone can be taught to start on an R6. But she did and did well.
Thanks for commenting and watching.
Shogun09R1 6 months ago
@Kurisusan89 it's relevant because you said, and i quote "she's on an R6 and she doesn't even know how to start a bike" so i was pointing out that even experienced riders sometimes dont know how to start a bike e.g pulling clutch in on suzuki's. Also whats wrong with starting on a 600? i did and i know plenty of people that did and was no big deal, everyone is different and whats right for you isn't always right for someone else.

@SaftAusKeine conradulations!!!.....I think this is the first purely negative comment I have ever had. Not positive....but I think it is. No worries though...it is after all a cell phone video. Also, most videos don't do the real thing justice, much less audio from a cell phone. If you've ever heard a stock '09 R6 rev then you'd know they don't sound that bad for stock. But you aare correct in that the video does sound horrible. Thanks for watching and commenting ; )
Shogun09R1 1 year ago
@Shogun09R1
Sorry, it wasn't meant as negative - just my observation. heard/seen quite a few videos like this (motorcycle engines starting, being revved etc) and most of them have a higher sound along with the lower sound too.
didn't know it was a camera phone btw, thought it was a comcorder/digital camera.

@SaftAusKeine No worries...hope I didn't come off like a jerk, not my intention. Hope to have a better exhaust on her bike soon. Will post a better vid with better sound a.s.a.p.

Shogun09R1 1 year ago
if i've never rode a motorcycle, but am willing and psyched to start taking MSF course and to ride a motorcycle, what bike do you think will be appropriate. i want one with sick sound and a fast one.
note, i want a really good one to begin with because i can get used to the speed more. i do not intend to speed like a maddog with the bike, but to improve and get better faster.
i was considering kawasaki 250r ninja but its like 250cc. i may sound arrogant but i want to own* a fast motorcycle
o0jun0o 1 year ago
@o0jun0o you sound like you already know what you want. Go for what makes you happy. You can't go wrong with any of the 600's that are out there. Best thing to do is go to several dealerships and sit on several of the 6's and see what feels rite to you. Ask yourself what is important, comfort, looks, reputation, how and where you plan on riding, etc. Then decide what suits you best. Good luck and let me know what you decide. Stay safe and take it at your own pace.
Shogun09R1 1 year ago
In ur opinion what is better a r6. or a kawasaki 250?
UnderFireGaming 1 year ago
@UnderFireGaming I can't really answer that.....I would have to know the person wanting to ride.....and even then, it would only be an opinion. Fact of the matter is it depends on the individual learning. Many factors to consider, such as, maturity, physical apptitude, financial ability, what you plan on using the bike for, how long you plan on keeping it, taste in bikes or brands, etc. I can tell you the smaller the bike the easier to control and not be intimidated. Fear is not helpful.
Shogun09R1 1 year ago
@UnderFireGaming Part 2: respect for the power of the bike chosen and maturity to me are the most important factors. Patience and knowing your limits are also important. Bottom line is research it and make sure you belong on a bike before taking the leap. If a person is not a "rider" they should not be on a bike. Good luck in your decision and I wish you many safe miles of riding.
Thanks for watching and commenting ; )

Thanks for the advice. And yea. Im 17 and ill be 18 in 3 months, so once i turn 18 my rents are gonna help me buy 1. but im thiking about getting a Honda Cbr now. Which i think is my final chice, and i had a dirt bikebefore. I quit riding about 2 years ago. But im planning on taking the class and everything. Thanks for the help, and let me know if u have any more tips.
UnderFireGaming 1 year ago
@UnderFireGaming Your welcome.....one last piece of advice....ride your ride....never let anyone pressure you into riding unsafely beyond your limits. You can go to the edge, but don't go too far past that point. Your edge will increase with every ride and every mile. You will get better.....the only question is how fast and how much of a risk you are willing to take. Upload a vid of your new bike when you get it, Honda CBR is a great bike! Good luck and stay safe.

Don't start with a bike that you care if you drop it once or twice. I started off with a yamy tw 200 and I'm not afraid to drop it. Just don't ever get "too comphortable" that's when shit hits the fan

could you tell me please how is the bike for learning especially for a first time bike ?? and did ur wife drop it ??
thanks !!!!
mimito92 2 years ago
I think it really depends on the person learning. Some say you have to start with a 250. I disagree, if your scared or stupid, you can kill yourself on a scooter. I spent an hour pushing the bike down a slight hill and showing her what the bike will do. She would almost drop it, but I would make sure it didn't fall. Then I had her start it and cruise around in first gear. She started shifting on her own and got better little by little. She has dropped it since, but nothing major. Good luck.
