I've owned a few different 600cc and 1000cc motorcycles in my time riding. In a previous video, I talked about the reasons why a 600cc motorcycle is better than a 1000cc (or at least which one you should get. We all know which one is faster!). But what about the other way around? In this video, let's look at why you should pass up that 600 and buy a liter bike.

The 5 reasons I heard: It is faster, it moves quicker, velocity is greater, it gets faster from point A to point B, It takes less time at the same distance.
The most reasonable reason is the torque which is available across all the rev range. Another reason is that if you travel two up, the torque is way better.

I'd love for BMW to make a 600!
G610R , inline 3. I WANT
S600rr would be nice
I’d buy it immediately.
Been saying this for awhile now
@@al3xdak1dd34 I´ve been talking about that for quite some time too. But all my friends that own CBR1000s and S1000RRs etc. say that a liter bike is the new 600cc. BMW simply won't make one because apparently there's no market. That´s the most common argument. I´d love a S600RR or actually a S600R because I´m not a full-time race driver.
Damn, I only just upgraded from a bicycle to a 250.
Better be a CBR!!!! MC19, MC22, MC41 either way better be the Honda 🏍️😁
I feel you from a Honda Accord coupe to Schwinn bicycle to CBR1000RR
Well let’s be completely honest here, anyone can go fast in a straight line... You really don’t need a 1000cc
90% of the rider population that buy a 1000cc supersport can't get half a decent time on the track with one
Not 600s though lol
Don’t need one but they ride sooo smooth.
@just a bi pedo asian swedish giant trap bike lover nope, plenty of riders on smaller bikes that ride quicker through the hinterlands.
@@AdrenalinePvP doesnt have fo be on the track 😉
My Zx6r is fast enough for me to have fun and gap the local boosted cars so I’m good
Rather have a 636 than most 1000’s to be honest
biiiig facts bruh 😂😂😂
you must have some slow boosted cars in your area lmfao, a racing group im in shits in 600s and 1000s struggle with some members
Drizzy570 there’s not very many cars around the area over 500 maybe pushing 600
90% of them are more looks than they are power
@@easetres8664 damn, thats lame, we have numerous 1000+hp cars and even trucks. my group alone has at least 2 of them, the one guy has a 1000hp supercharged huracan lmao. my buddy greg and his little group all have high 800hp -1000hp vettes, mustangs and and old datsun with a LS swap making over 800 to the wheels.
I started on a dirt bike. Best training tool out there. Progressed to a litre now
My 2019 zx-6r does just fine as far as speed goes. I'd like to have a 1000cc exotic bike like a Ducati or s1000rr but more for looks and tech than top speed. I don't really race people on public highways. I've got too much to live for. I just like the sounds and doing quick pulls on straights. the 636 is perfect for the way I ride. I tested the 636 and the zx10 and the 636 sits higher. zx10 was lower to the ground. I really went with the 636 because they sold it to me for $8500 whereas the zx10r was 12000 for the 2019
12000??? You are so lucky. 22000 here in Spain
yeah where tf did someone offer u 12000 for a zx10r
@@seven-tq7jr lol not in the US, there like 17k
Zx 6r is a banger of a bike
When he said “It’s your own life be careful, your choice” that’s when I knew a 600 would be better.
My progression was 400, 636 and 1000cc's I don't think it's a good idea to skip the middle tier 600 bikes. They are fast but not suicide fast and serve as a great learning tool before getting that liter bike.
a lot of us started on the mt07 during driving school in europe.
I don’t understand people that say a 600 doesn’t have suicide speed and speed can kill and I don’t understand people that say start out on a 1000 ur asking to die if u don’t know what ur doing
600 isn't suicide fast? You need to drop back down to 400 for awhile, you're not taking it serious enough.
@@Dredster747 They are docile down low in the RPM's.
Idk i am tired of the 600 vs 1000 debate... its all the same stuff.if.youran idiot you will die on any bike
Wind the tension out a little on your clutch lever. You will find neutral easier. My friend had a RSV4 and always complained about a tricky neutral. Literally just took some tension off the lever. Fixed it.
Just sit back, grab some snacks and watch Motonosity cruise around ans say what I want to do with my money.
LOVE IT!
Whoa! I didn't know it was you until I heard ur voice! Hope u & family are all doing great!
To sum it up 400s are good to learn the basics
600s are good for extra power once you learn the basics
1000s will break every speed limit in the us in 1st gear in a matter of seconds
Thanks for the info! I've been looking for a few weeks not knowing which one to go with and since I do have a decent commute to work I think the 1000cc is my best bet.
Keep up the awesome vids👍
I saw you turning into the outlet mall the other day, damn good looking bike from a little further away.
this didnt really convince me to get a 1000 tbh
This just made me like my 600 more 😂
@@DEATHWINGS5000 i like motonosity but this video was just of him rambling.
more insurance is what I think of when I hear "get a 1000 bro". my k7 600 will run the exact same per month as a gsxr 750 and I love that.
IDK man, I feel like the power on my ruckus is pretty insane as it is 🤣😂🤣🛵💨💨💨
Chillllll💀💀💀
he's too dangerous for the streets
I get triggered everytime when people say hayabusa or zx14 is a climp up from 1000cc superbike. They're not! They was 10 years ago but now they slower than any modern superbike. I own 2014 zx14 and 2017 r1 and my r1 is straight up faster and got snappier throttle and overall much more radical in everyway. Yes zx14 is still very fast bike and it's good all around bike but as far as only performance goes it's just obsolete, it got 200HP which all modern superbikes got 200+ and weight much lasser and higher and faster reving engines.
Buddy you cant compare a 1400cc with 1000cc!
But the bikes more snappier on the throtle is the yamaha and more fun to ride because of the throtle response is very fast and fun.
@@sirvieira zx14s are so comfy, pretty much an insane sports tourer
I’m happy with my 2018 R6 :) But one day I’ll get a S1000RR 😭
Tay & Lala would you offer your girl for it 😋
Same bike and same goals 😂😂
don't
The biggest thing that surprised me, stepping off a Suzuki GSX-R *750* K6 on a Suzuki GSX-R 1000 K5 (which ergonomically are pretty similar)
is the fact that, on the 750, I could ride for about 3 hours straight and was DONE! Tired, numb, sore, I had enough for the day
On the 1000, I went for a ride, and ended up home *7 hours later* _and only because sun was setting and I had my dark visor mounted_
I could probably have continued a few hours more if it wasn't for that, even saddle soreness was a matter of simply changing position a little
And it's a constant, I can simply ride longer, more comfortably on the 1K
Now the 1K is a tad wider, and the tank a bit higher, about 10lbs heavier(some of it is higher fuel capacity), 190 instead of 180 tire, but that's about it
Seating position, stretch over the clipons is pretty much the same
But what factors in a lot, is the low end torque, it isn't as exhausting as that of the 750, which you have to rev at least 2K rpm higher (and more when overtaking)
It numbs the limbs less, you got more initial grunt helping you through the curves, so you're pulling the bars less and there's less need to change gears
...and that's not even discussing the power,... TEH POWAH!!1!!
I swear this thing is trying to kill me and I don't even MIND 🤣
Sounds kinda like cap
@@KG-qw4fvbro cooking
you really complaining about a 750, when I literally go everywhere with my 50? xd
100% agree with your rebuttal to the argument that you'll never be able to use 1000cc bikes power on the street. As someone who has to commute on highways frequently, it's a night and day difference between fighting with my Ninja 650 to cruise at 70 mph vs comfortably cruising along on my GSX-R1000.
Dude, make up your mind what you're trying to say....You start your thought then you talking about sth. else.
Wth!
@Motonosity going 125mph “Woo hoo! Why is this legal?” Cop “It’s not.”
Someone had to say it
I bought my 1st bike, a 2018 R6 based off ur channel. But after a year of owning it, I totally agree that a 1000 is definitely the way to go.
No
Yes
Me personally ive rode 4 600cc sportsbikes since 2011.... a CBR 600RR two Kawasaki Zx6r’s and a Triumph Daytona 675R until April this year i brought my first litre bike my current ride a 2016 Kawasaki Zx10r winter ❄️ Edition. I absolutely love the 600cc class fantastic fun on the streets 👌. Everyone’s different and should ride whatever they want as long as they are having fun that’s all its about!! Adam 🏴
enjoyed the video!
Meanwhile here i'm totally satisfied by my 300cc
I'm not on mine. It sucks on the highway
@@dulex08 Why ?
Swisside cuz it’s slow and passing faster would b nice and you get blown around
@@shoup15u27 Slow ? It can go way over the highway speed limit...
That's what people say that haven't rode and don't own a 1000cc... they are much better overall
I had a choice between the new 2019 636 for 13,500 cad or a new 2017 gsxr1000 for 15,800 that was sitting for two years. The power and electronics made me get the gsxr alone even though I am not a pro on the 600cc. I just keep the settings on high and lower it when get more skills on the road and track
Luckily we gsxr boys got the 750. Got my k7-600 and thats fast enough for me :)
Street triple 765 all day long
I want a GSXR600R or a 750 but it is so ugly, I hope Suzuki updates it. Suzuki and Honda need to update their 600cc Supersport
You don’t need a 1000 anyways, you will never be able to explore it’s actual potential and if you do, you will be doing 150mph risking your life/jailtime
@@mooiboyace you Rick jail and death on a grom. Or 400cc or 650cc.
@@mavricxx 2006-2010's 600/750 are the best models designs in my opinion. The newest ones are so......idk what they were thinking. But some people like it, doesn't fit my taste.
Whens the Exhaust coming dude?? Thats the finishing touch on this beauty
Most prefer the sound of an Aprilia V4 literbike, then the R1, then other inline 4s. The V-twins sound very good when engine braking at 20 mph. It is mostly about costs and reliability, and what you like the looks of and how sitting on it feels to you. I have a 600cc inline 4 and a 600cc V-twin. The V-twin is better from 0 to 60 mph, and the inline 4 is better above 60 mph and for longer trips.
that rode in the beginning is my old apartment complex. small world! actuallt left austin bc my bike was stolen and other BS that was happening at the time.. its crazy seeing those streets
Just rolled over on 6000kms In the first three months I have Owned my bike
Try changing to 2nd gear and tap tap tap it down into neutral or before you stop change to Neutral while rolling. Same issue on my Aprilia Tuono...
Parmer out to Manor used to be WAY worse, I caught air doing the speed limit on my BMW R1100S regularly...
Neutral hint (from the other guy in Austin with a Brentuned 2020 RR): Don't wait until you get to a full stop; rather when coming to a stop shift down from 2 (or up from 1) into N when doing 5-10 mph. This is the easiest and most reliable way.
Another trick when you find yourself fully stopped and fail to find neutral after a try or two: Give the transmission a bit of load for half a second by letting out the clutch a little bit (use brake and a hair of throttle), and then try neutral again. You'll now likely get it within a try or two (from either 1 or 2).
Finding N is tricky. I have the BMWS1000R and it’s easier to find N by going to 2nd gear and then clicking down. Comes in handy at long lights😉
It also helps to give the throttle a little blip
I’m gonna say it 1000cc is over rated, the difference is only noticeable on the highway. Also you don’t need to be going over 100mph on a daily basis.
I have my r6 2010 with a akrapovic full with ecu flash with my ftecu kit and I love it.
But I want to get the bmw s1000rr next year and is my favorite bike from the 1000cc supersport.
In 1998 I had the first yamaha r1 with just 5 gears and that was a beast at time... But I had a crash with it because I jump from a suzuki bandit 400cc to the r1!
And is like he talk in the vid the 1000cc is another league... We have to be very careful and don't let the bike ride you but you ride the bike!
The fit is the best reason for me; I'm also tall and a lot of bikes feel really small. I wish they made 600s as big as the 1000s.
I’ve rode four wheelers and dirt bikes all my life. I’m going to get an r6. I live out in the country and I’m 5”5 145 pounds the r6 fits me better. Plus there’s no highways to really open up a 1000. Also my friend past away on his 1000 recently so 600 is plenty for me. Awesome video big fan of the channel been watching a full year now. Every new video I get an itch to get a bike.
Also check the new 636. R6 has it's seat quite high for 5'5
pravesh736 oh dang. I’ll have to look into it. I’m a Yamaha person though
Congrats on da baby even tho a visor year old always a blessing💯💪🏽
if you want to see your speedometer go up smoothly get a 600. If you wanna see it start skipping numbers go 1000.
Usually adjusting slack on the chain will help find neutral
I'll be keeping an eye on the Austin American-Statesman for your obituary. Good luck.
Just cause he rides a liter bike? If you crash at those speeds you're nearly just as likely to die in a cage
But you ride straight city roads and hwy all the time 🤔
Brydon M yea even when he was in Georgia he didnt do any mountains...
Any monkey can twist a throttle in a straight line
Exactly. All that extra hp would be a waste here in WV where the roads are anything but. My 660cc single MZ Baghira is plenty of bike for me here.
That's why he's still alive today. Not playing tough
More than once he reminds us he's a big guy, 6'2" with long legs. In another video he reminds us he's got wide shoulders. I guess you've got to play it safe if you've won the genetic lottery, LOL
Finding neutral is easy. Clutch in, bleep throttle and push gear into neutral at the same time. Works everytime for me.
Well said my friend! I agree on all points
I started on a 1000 it was an 04 gsxr 1000 she was all stock for the most part and I put on 7000 miles that summer I finally upgraded to a 06 gsxr 1000 and i absolutely love this monster the torque
Went from a older gsxr6 to a newer ninja 300 and I have more fun on the little bike. Running the gears Is part of it.
i own bikes from 125cc to 1200cc, and the smaller ones, 600cc or less are best for city and small comutes type of situation, for raging and longer trips the 600cc plus is a must.
I agree liter bikes generally have more features better quality parts better suspension more technology and for people scared of the power there are power modes so you can turn down the power and ride comfortably
My 16 Daytona 675 has no issues with power even at interstate speed, never had to downshift. As far as weight, ofcourse yout R1 had no issues with being blown around on the interstste( that bike particularly was heavy as hell) most newer 1000cc bikes are hitting the weight of the 600 bikes so there's that. It all boils down to preference. And most will never outride the potential a 600cc bike.
@Adams CZcams actually it comes from them being heavier than the other Japanese manufacturers, but I get what you're trying to say
My very first road bike I ever had was a 2004 Suzuki GSXR 1000 with 13,000 miles on it truly amazing you have to have alot of responsibility and really know your surroundings however my experience on really fast machines started early and I've always been confident in my ridding abilities that being said I always always ALWAYS road with all my gear ridding boots, ridding gloves, ridding pants, and sport bike Jacket I was 30 when I got the bike and to this day I've never had as much fun in a summer on that bike then any other 600 or 750 they ride so smooth compared to the smaller CC bikes also you don't have to work the bike as hard you just go I rode everywhere on that bike by the end of the summer into fall season when I sold it the bike had 19,000 miles one very important view I never ever put my self in a situation where someone could run me off the road and always respected the machine for what it was and it's capabilities! Someone once told me this the 600cc sport bike sound fast but the 1000cc inline 4 cylinder's are fast really fast. Oh and I didn't sell the bike cause I didn't like it anymore or that I had a close call I sold it cause my wife and I have 6 children and me having a sport bike of any cc was a variable and I wanted to be somewhat responsible. Ride safe God bless and try to make wise decisions when ridding these exhilarating monsters! It only takes 1 mess up and your done or badly injured stay safe dudes!
The biggest reason to get a 1000 is the new technology and improvements they put into them. The 600 market is dead and manufacturers know it. That's why every year the 600s only get a minor refresh; no new chassis, engine ect. Same reason why you'll never see a 600 supersport from BMW, no point in spending all that development money for a bike that wont sell.
Make a video bout this please
Im happy with my yamaha 150cc it saves life......tnx man
So this is a video of why 600cc or slower bikes are far more engaging to ride than 1000cc sports bikes.
For the screen part, get a KTM and your going to get amazing screen from the 390 range all the way to the super Duke.
Weirdly enough I catch more wind on my faired 1000 than my naked 650. Size does indeed fit me better though. Power... I mean sure it's a lot faster, but both were fast, they facilitate laziness though, overtaking in 6th and all that...
3:54 Did not see anything my ZX6-R cannot do.
I have never had a sport bike until now and I’m glad I went with a 1000 no matter what gear you are in she goes
Bro where have you been? It's been over two weeks with no Motonosity
Hey Moto, quick question for ya, brother. Did you recently change anything in post production/video editing, or add a polarized lens or such to your GoPro? Reason I'm asking is that I keep seeing slightly odd/unnatural colors at times in your videos. Like sometimes the ground looks almost green/turquoise in some areas (like at 8:57 when you're overtaking the dark gray truck) and at other times the sky looks green'ish into purple'ish (like at 1:32).
Let me just point out that I am by no means complaining - I think it looks cool as hell, sort of like how they use different filters and shit for Top Gear segments. I'm just curious if you changed something recently, because I don't recall seeing it a few months ago.
Looks like a combination of polarization / ND filter + LUT in post on the video that is a bit sensitive or overdone. Although I think that Moto gets an amazing quality out of the gopro, almost unseen anywhere else in the motovlog scene.
InsanitySep Agreed completely, his videos look great. And his videos do not have the dreaded CZcams macroblocking every five seconds that many uploaders deal with in their eagerness to upload in too high resolution, too high bitrate of too high framerate. Every five seconds, exactly five seconds, the video will get significantly pixelated for half a second before going back to normal. None of that in moto's videos.
@@mannydcbianco Correct, he just does an amazing work at editing, not sure how this happened, but he will probably fix it sooner than later :)
I agree with everything you just said lol.. I’ve only been riding 2yrs. Started on my K8 GSXR 600.. I finally rode my first liter bike a month ago. A 12’ CBR 1000RR & a 15’ BMW S1K & lets just say that’s why I agree with everything you just said lol.. I’ll hopefully be getting my first liter bike next year if not the year after 🤙🏼💨
Does that K8 600 have rider modes on it? A GSXR 600 is what i want to start on too. Did you have any major problems starting on a 600?
sabermaster80 it does have “rider modes” being A,B,C .. A being fast.. B being “street friendly” & C being wet mode. But honestly you don’t feel much difference between the modes, it’s mainly for throttle control.. but no I had ZERO issues starting on a 600. The bike will only go as fast as you let it. If you have self control & are mature enough to know your limits you won’t have any issues starting on a 600 🤙🏼
@@chrisyuhas1371 Ok very nice. Having the modes will make me feel more at ease starting on a 600. I was looking to getting a 2015 model or slightly older so they definitely must have modes on it if a 08 has them. I was going to do the whole 300cc for my first bike then slowly more on up the ladder, which is good cos the smaller bikes i hear are more forgiving & lighter and such. But i'm not a rich man so to buy a small bike then grow out of it in less than a year worrys me, i'm a bit on the big size too body weight wise. I'm pretty curtain i would be mature enough to take my time on these bikes, i turn 40 next year & drive a sports car now that can break the speed limit quite quickly but i drive it 80% normally most of the time, i like the look & sound of it more than the speed to be honest & i think it would be the same with bikes. Thank you for your response though, much appreciated sir 😉
sabermaster80 np man I bought my 600 for the same reason.. didn’t have the money to do the whole 300 then 600.. just ride the bike slow until your comfortable with it!
I think that if your country has the road infrastructure so you can enjoy your motorcycle up to the limit, you can buy either a 600 CC or 1000cc motorcycle. At least on my third world country Costa Rica a 300 cc is enough and I am very happy with my YZF-R3 2019. Thank you for the video and I love tthe new look of the S 1000 RR.
100% agreed, and lower cc bikes are still more fun lol
@@mooiboyace You're right and thank you for the reply. 👌🏻
This is going to sound weird but I have a 300cc and a 1000cc in my garage and I feel those are the two bikes to have for all around uses.
And when do you get on the 300?
xpusostomos I use the 300 for quick local erans and around the town stuff also use it when I ride with friends that have low cc bikes too and thinking about using it for a track bike.
If you could only keep one?
Omero juniorv hmmmmmm...... probably the 1000cc just bc of the tech and I need the power for the highway bc I ride far to work.
@@jcastillo9596 I own 300cc, have been riding for about 2years, commuting to work daily, very short commute mostly in the city limits though... Only feel the need for more power when I get on the highway with friends. Looking to purchase my next bike this year and sell 300 because of a limited space in my garage. So I need one bike that does it all. CBR600 seem like a logical choice but I am afraid I will want upgrade to 1000 just because I will feel like I am missing something. Have you ridden 600cc? Would you suggest 600cc or 1000?
I want better sound and low end torque and don't really care about the speed and screaming high revs.
My 08 gixxer 600 would walk this bike on a 60 pull lmao but then again I've got over $12k into my motor and she dyno'd 182rwhp and is still stupid light with all that power!!! Lol, it definitely is a wild ride and still after 4yrs I still shake a bit every single time I get off of it after I get any kind of into the throttle, it's still fairly tame up to around 9.5k rpms and then after 10k hold da-fuq onnn! 🏍🏍🏍
i had a zx6r and a zx10r, 1000cc is like double the torque, but in curves a 600cc does more fun
Great video.
Good points.
I find the extra power as a safety measure in case u want to accelerate to dodge something!
1k ftw
So what is your thoughts on going from an 1133 scout to a liter bike?
I really wanted a 1000cc but I decided to Port and polish my head on my gsxr 600 because it just fits me like a glove and now I'm up there with zx10rr's and r1's
Don’t be delusional. A port and polish does NOT get you anywhere near those other bikes. Not even remotely close.
I rode a 2020 S1000RR for the first time yesterday, and have pretty much convinced a buddy of mine to get one for his first bike. Yes it's fast, and you can really hurt yourself on it, but if you can control your throttle hand and speed devil, it'll save a lot of money from starting on a lower bike that you probably won't want long term.
I have ridden a r3 since it's been produced. Sold it 2 weeks ago and bought a 07 Hayabusa. Never going back! A new member in the liter bike family 😁
@Police Corruption it is a liter bike, 1300cc is liter with a bit more
Good video, but not sure I can agree. It's probably situational. I bought my first motorcycle Aug 6th - 2019 Ninja 650 (Orange & Black ABS model). I love it! Great first bike. Ive been getting comfortable and more confident each time I ride it. However, if I were to jump to a 1000cc as my next bike, I think it would be too much for me. I'm only 5'7" and 170 lbs. I don't do much highway riding and it would be alot of bike for around town and cruising thru the twisties.
I think a 600cc SS would suit me better after a couple of years on the Ninja 650, or perhaps a GSX-R 750?
What are your thoughts on my reasoning? I don't buy used stuff, my next bike would also be brand spankin' new :)
I started on a Yamaha FZ07 about 4 years ago. I now ride the BMW S1000R, (I’m a 5’9” female) and its the most amazing bike ever. I have no problem handling it. It’s a DREAM bike. Highly recommend. I also have the new Triumph st Triple RS. Also an amazing bike. But I love the power of the BMW!!!😏
You won't know without more time in the saddle, but get a bike based on how you like to ride (as well as where!). I had a '17 Ninja 650 and aspired to get a Supersport, but I ended up looking at naked bikes. I got a z900 and absolutely love it! It suits shorter riders as well with a very low seat height.
Captions, cc, English please, some of your viewers need it because of hearing loss from riding 1000cc bikes with no mufflers come on man!
Newish rider here. I’m only 6ft. 190lbs. First bike is newer gsxr600. It’s great and all but that wind gets brutal. I get blown around a lot. After this year i plan to get a 1000. No i don’t have a need for one. But it’s just a nice to have thing. Nothing bad to say about 600 besides the wind can be challenging. But end of the day. Money talks and i walked away with hell of a deal on 2015 600 or i would have got a 1000.
Started on an Sv 650 and looking to get a fz1
I prefer the sound of a modded 600 personally. But Purdy much all your other points I agree with.
6’6” 250+ I wanted a ktm 360 duke but it looked like a grom next to me. I got a 1100 mts and love it.
Okay big guy
390* Which is a tiny bike

Based from my experiences with the bikes and having ridden them from my friends, i went with the YAMAHA R1 because it feels a lot more better track wise and corners are just exquisite :)
You should do the iron butt challenge!
Fwiw: my last bike was a VFR800 and absolutely loved it! Looking for a new bike and want something sporty that's comfortable. Looking at a GSX-R 600, GSX-R 1000, and a CBR900RR. What is gonna be better for a fat old guy? 5'9" 230#.
Just curious, how many tickets have you gotten? I'm at zero but I dont drive 120 in "Mexico".
I don't have a problem finding neutral on that bike.
I’ve been riding a ninja 300 for almost a year now. My friend is about to give me his GSXR-1000. Should I ride it right away or should I wait until I’m more experienced? Just asking for opinions.
Grats on your baby 🤍
Try adjusting your clutch lever, if you haven’t
for your ECU flash why didnt you just wait to get the stage 1 done at the same time as your other? which leads me to could they have given you a combo deal for both saving some money?
I live in the UK and took a wrong turn on a roundabout, i was riding a CBR125R.......ended up on the motorway......what you say about the wind omg dude!!!!! I WAS SHITTING MYSELF!!!!! SEMI'S OR AS WE CALL THEM TRUCKS WERE EVERYWHERE!!!! STAY SAFE PEOPLE!
But just a good light titanium full which is expensive helps you way more in corners that power
A speedometer that wasn't all fuzzy looking..finally!
I jumped from a 400 to a 600 and thought it was some what Subtle, I Then bought a VTR 1000F and IT gave me my BUTTERFLIES :)
PS the faster I rode the steady it was lol
My first bike was a 650cc Yamaha. Is it safe for my next bike to be a 1,000cc bike?
im 5'11" with shorter legs proportionally than most people and with my boots that I normally wear than have a 2" heal I am able to just exactly get my heals on the ground with my legs fully extended when sitting on my 1000cc
I haven’t watched the video but based off the title I agree entirely
This is what every r6 owners say after getting a 1000
Funny thing is, my bike can't NOT find Neutral. Going from 1-2 no matter how you do it, you end up in neutral. Down shifting will skip neutral 6/10 times. I hate it.
going to look at a bmw s1000 tomorrow o. o its a little pricey but i just might pull the trigger on it.
