  • We review a horrible first bike: the Yamaha R6. Gugh! If you get this as a first bike you are a Dumb-Dumb.
    Dummy, dum dum dum bro-dum. Ugh, you're the type of dumb that buys a motorcycle without a title and buys a helmet from the Dirt Mall.

    I rode an R6 once. Within 10 seconds I was doing 3 times the speed limit and honestly, I swear I thought I hadn’t broken the limit at all. Smooth like a glass dildo, sexy like a bald badger. The R6 is a capable machine for sure.

      @brennick7647 Před 2 lety +14

      @@zachv1035 As long as you’re responsible with it, and exercise some caution ( especially when first starting) it’s not a bad idea. It has a lot of power to give so treat the throttle with respect and show some restraint. it should all go well. Now as far as a “first bike” it’s great in the sense you won’t grow out of it. Some people ride a 600cc bike and never upgrade, and tbh that’s completely rational. The R6 will handle whatever the road throws at you, and then some. But if you have never ridden a motorcycle in general or a sport bike more specifically, I would not make the R6 the first bike you ever ride. It is relatively light in terms of super sports. But the R6 particularly has a more aggressive riding position and a very reactive throttle. If your comfortable on bikes already, and have a Grasp on the basics of riding The R6 is great, and if your set on a 600 the R6 is the way to go.

      Just do it. It will rapidly increase your reflexes and you'll be amazed because it really has excellent handling characteristics. 75 mph feels like 40 mph on it. I've only been up to 135 mph on mine and it was still pulling hard but I got scared and shut it down. It can get up there so fast you don't realize it. I knew I was travelling in excess of 100 mph but I was shocked to find I was doing 135 mph. Things were flying by me though pretty freakin fast when I think about it.

I've hit the top speed a good amount of times and have really given it the guts in the twisties, scrubbing off the remaining chicken strips my friend left behind and seriously pushing the bike to the limits. The fact I'm still alive is very likely a miracle in itself but I would hope to say that in this mere month I've owned this 600, I've progressed an impressive amount as a rider. The growth may not be as drastic as being a complete noobie on a 250, but I think I have what it takes to tame the beast

    I had a SV 650s as my first bike years ago. Its what I always recommend to people for their first bike. It has a very linear power band. No surprises when you are accelerating hard. It has enough power to keep up with faster bikes anywhere but the interstate. You can also turn it into a track bike when you finally buy a faster bike. Lots of people track them so its easy to find information and parts. Its also just a great bike and lots of fun.

      Legendary Loso both times I went down were in my driveway. The bottom of my driveway is gravel and when I pulled in at a slight lean, the bike just slipped out from under me. The second time I crashed I was coming down my driveway, it’s like 1/4 mile long, and hit a big rock, about the size of a softball as I was rounding a curve. Same thing happened, the bikes front tire washed out from under me and I ate shit.
      The r6 is super tame at low rpm so if you’re smart it can actually be a decent beginner bike. Now mine feels slow af and it’s only been a year

      I'm no bike guy, but my personal reasoning is that if you want to learn how something works, you need to be able to learn on all its limits, lower and upper. If you can't handle a high revving engine that is not crazy powerful, starting on this is a stupid idea. Because you will learn how the bike handles at low rpm, but then once you reach the powerband you just die because you've never been on the powerband of a reasonable bike to understand what it means.

    The most important lesson you learn about driving fast vehicles is that it's not about bravery or raw skill or reckless abandon, it's about restraint. You have to be able to predict the future like a fortune teller as though they weren't scam artists. Scanning for gravel, oil slicks, inattentive drivers, cracks, potholes, corner radius changes constantly. It's about always knowing where the point of no return is and never crossing it. This isn't to say you can't own or use a truly fast vehicle, but you need to have the sensibility of Arnold in Terminator 2 scanning the road in his infrared vision to do it and come out alive. You need to understand tire grip, brake threshold, suspension travel, weight transfer, throttle control, and have all of your inputs trained to maximize each in any given scenario without conscious thought. Computers won't save you, either, those computers just allow you to go faster and faster before you run out of ability and it's too late for the computer to save you.

      No, he's right, that's horseshit, sit on a touring bike or an adventure bike it's way more confortable than any sports/sports touring bike.

      BrianShaggy074 bikes like the gsxr 600/Honda 600rr 2006-2008 still sell round 3-5.2k max r6 r semi cheap, but it all depends on miles, 10k and the drop pretty well (from what I’ve been seeing in my area, in Cali it’s another story.)

    What’s wrong with the rear ended on this bike? It looks like they lowered only the rear. Or is it the suspension is too soft for the weight of the rider?

    this is my 3rd bike, and i’m glad i waited. It’s truly great as a commuter and fun bike to putt around on, but i really did need a few thousand miles on a bike to build the discipline for this motorcycle. It’s painfully tempting with how smooth it gets above 8k rpm and the sound up there is just magical. Really amazing bike, but you need to be extremely honest with yourself about your limits. This bike *will* kill you, and i’ve had a friend die on an R6 when he pushed too far. Ride safe and enjoy this machine

    I never rode a bike in my life until At the end of 2016 I bought a 2008 Yamaha r6. Best decision of my life. Never been down *knock on wood*, and it's been my only vehicle for 2 years with about 15,000 miles of riding on it up to date. I rip that thing full throttle all the time too, it's just about when and where, and perceiving what can happen, and what to do if it does happen. I live in the Tampa Bay Area too which is about as populated as you can get. Ride Safe and choose the bike that you like and makes you feel comfortable. It's always ok to push the limits as long as it's not too much.

    Interesting that you emphasize the usable low end, when among supersports this bike has a reputation for having no torque but crazy top end power.

    • @bbman10pwns
      @bbman10pwns Před 5 lety

      I think it's because usable != wheelie power.
      It's got enough torque to be a pain in the ass to putt around in a city at sub 30mph speeds, but it won't wheelie in say, second gear, without dropping the clutch.

    • @BigUriel
      @BigUriel Před 5 lety +8

      I never quite got that argument. The R6 pulls like 500 if you keep the revs low, if you're buying it with the intent of keeping the revs low because it's too fast on the powerband, then why not just get the 500 in the first place?
