- This is my first Legal Ride on my recently purchased 2015 GSXR 600.
I have a few hours in a parking lot and recently completed the MSF course ( in the rain). I have limited to no riding Experience, but i have always had an interest in motorcycles. Wanted one from a young age and had a dirt bike when I was 15. This is different. This is my first legal ride. - Zábava
. I've been riding 20 years, and I still watched your video. Really liked it. 👍
I can tell you are still new, but you are doing everything right. All the gear, all the time. Riding within your capabilities. Talking through your situations. Learning properly. You have it right. Go slow, slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Keep safe and remember. There are old bikers and there are bold bikers, but there aren't many old, bold bikers. 👍🏴
I absolutely love that saying! All the gear all the time. I’ve been riding all my life and my young boss taking lessons and I always tell him that
Fair play!
I also started on a gsxr 600 but wish i started on a smaller bike. Not for the safety, but the learning. I've learned much more about riding because of a slow bike fast vs a fast bike slow. U got balls to film and upload your first ride, I'd rather no one was even outside to see me 😂
hope you’re still having fun i plan on getting one once in able to work again and i’ve been kinda jealous seeing people on theirs 😭
Started on a old cruiser went to a 22 mt 07 and getting a used 17 gixer 600, gonna track tf out of it. Mt was fun to use even on a track but looking to upgrade for better suspension and something more suited for track use
Is it heavy compared to a 400?
I just subscribed! I know the feeling, I passed my road test a couple of weeks ago. I bought a Kawasaki Z900RS Cafe, and though I had to ride it 3x without a license...man, when I finally passed the road test, riding my bike legit was a breathe of fresh air! So exhilarating!!
Congrats man, nice bike choice. Stay safe out there!
same shit happened to me with my car and bike, bought them before passing the test always shitting bricks for many reasons while learning to ride/drive by myself without a license xD
How is the z900rs for a new rider? Do you wish you started on something smaller at all?
I'm quite happy with my Z900RS as my first bike. Honestly, as long as you respect the bike and ride within your limits you should be fine. I'm 59, those hooligan days are way past me. But I'll admit, there are times I'll give it a li'l push. But just a li'l!! LOL@@andy253
That place looks so peaceful to live in
Congrats on the new wheels! Stay safe and ride your ride, and you’ll be hitting the rev limiter in no time
theres a video online showing how to SET REV LIMITER for the GSX-R's
Good luck on your future motorcycle adventures stay safe
Bro big ups to u man I love your vid, many have told me starting on a 600 is not bad seeing u ride so smoothly makes me confident that I should also start there, plus I’ve got the discipline too I think your video just boosted my confidence ❤
My first road bike is my 17' gsxr 600 and I love it to death, dont get too confident too fast though , sport bikes put you in your place quick if you get reckless. Super fun and nimble bike though. Ride safe and have fun!
Loving the first ride! I'm about to get the MT-09 as my first bike here in just a few weeks. Can't friggin wait!!!
Congrats, hopefully your still takin it easy on that thing. I notice you looking down a lot. Been a month so hopefully you got that one cured, if not , keep your head and eyes up. The bike goes where you look.
I was so nervous at the start of my first street rides. Still remember it lol. Be safe out there. 👍🏾
Started on a 09 GSXR 4 years ago, loved it! Now I’m on a FZ-09 and I miss the GSXR a little bit 😢
Nice! I started on my 2015 gsxr600 as well same color as yours too bike is a lot of fun for sure ride safe 🤙🏽
Sounds so good I can’t wait to get my first bike
Bro I could tell u respect the power of the bike and your safe
I too am a new rider and looking at purchasing my first bike. This is awesome keep it up man! Still trying to figure out a bike to actually look for into getting into when I do decide to purchase it
hey men, congrats on everything and stay safe out there, i know the feeling of going out for the first time by yourself on a bike, wish i had a bike like yours but unfortunately i had to stick with my dads bike (honda XL 185s, im from colombia and its not that common to see bikes with more than 250cc, still i enjoy riding that piece of history haha, also i can take it offroad wich is what i like to do).
Would like to share something, if you want to improve faster do things that feel uncomfortable or that you're maybe doing wrong, and go to the twisties... and last but not least to shift properly and smoothly.
stay safe and dont be afraid to take your time to learn step by step!
i started with a 06 gsxr600 and continued to ride it till now. it doesn't get boring. enjoy buddy :-)
Well done on your first ride good choice of bike
Bro i started on a cbr 929 bc im a lil hefty lol. Not usually a starter bike bc of the power. But starting out i rode at 3am with nobody on the road until i was confident enough to ride in traffic. Stay safe watch your back and congrats my guys
Hey boss, I wanted to ask you, since you said you started on a more potent bike because of body mass/size... I plan on getting into riding within the next few months, and one of my biggest concerns is the right bike for my size. I'm 5"10 and I weigh 260 lbs. Would a 400 or a 650 be a reasonable bike for me to be able to commute on highways comfortably, as a first bike?
I love how easy is to learn how to drive a motorcycle on your city, everything is almost clean and empty. So happy about you bro! That's my favorite motorcycle Suzuki GSX-R 600cc, here is difficult as hell as there are so many cars in my city... the first week I was trying to learn I literally was shaking because of the danger. After 1 month I am still staling one or two times because of the nervous I get because of the cars around me. And I love my bike bro but I swear I don't know when I will being good at this
bikes are so sick man... congrats on the ride and enjoy it
Looking at getting a gsxr600. Great video. Love that M4 exhaust too. Sounds great!
It sounds so good !
I started on a 06 cbr 600 they’re amazing machines
Mate got my dream gxr colors man I'm jealous beautiful bike man ride safe.
Wonderfull bike, I love it!!! I have a 2005, so, my goal is to get one like that!
Sounds like an absolute dream! ride safe my brother!
I love it! And miss it so much right now. Currently winter here. It’s been in storage for 3 and a half months 😫
@@Jefe-R waiting I am sure! Stay fit brother. Cheers!
Beautiful bike - Congrats
Thank you !! I got really lucky finding this one
Best color out of all them
Looks like some good patience. Keep it up and you'll be around to see yourself hit zesty lap times
Keep it up on your content buddy🎉
Good luck brother. I started ona k5 gsxr 750 you’ll be alright, respect your machine and you’ll be fine!
I’ve just got myself a gixxer 600 too. Giving me some real inspiration £
Best choice I ever made was starting on a 600. Be safe. It’s a lot of fun. Can’t wait to get back in the bike. It’s currently winter here. Bikes been in storage since October.
As long as you know your limits and realize you're not Valentino Rossi, you should be fine. I had a 2007 GSXR600 when i had only a year or 2 of riding experience under my belt. It's a very nimble bike, although i found it very uncomfortable to ride. Just remember the stuff from the MSF course. I'm old(er) now, so i ride a rather upright adventure bike 2013 KLR650
I got a 2002 Kawasaki concours zg1000 sport/tour though it really should be more adventure/tour with how comfortable the seat and upright riding position is! Though I need to find some aftermarket handlebars to raise them a bit, the handlebars on my bike make me have my hands in front of my waist dam-near.
I just started on a GSXR 1998 600, just taking it easy for a year or two :)
The houses are so nice there.
They really are! I go on walks through out the neighborhood and I’m in awe of some of the properties
I'm about to go look at my first bike in a few days. I've been looking into getting one. I have a few friends I want to go out with, but Ima be in a parking lot for a while XD.
Ah that first time feeling driving on the street, I’ve only been riding for a year and started on an R6, but decided to drop down to a 400 to gain more experience without having to worry about getting overly confident. I plan on getting the new zx6r 2024 in the future as my next 600.
See this is why I got the gsxr- not a r6 not a cbr. From my understanding the gsxr doesn’t have as much low end torque as the other bikes. But what made you drop down in bike?
@@Jefe-R because u can learn more on a smaller cc, without having to worry about getting yourself in trouble. you won’t be able to push a 600 to it’s limit in the street where as a smaller cc 400 an below is perfect for street riding. unless ur a squid an just want to go straight 24/7.
@@KingnaborI got a z400 and love it, can flat out and spin tires in 1st or lift front wheels in second.
But I'm not going to backflip or accidentally go 100 if I throttle too hard. Such a fun bike. Will def upgrade to a 4cyl in a couple years :D
Just remember this when it starts feeling extra comfortable- watch how slow you go went in this video. This speed will keep you ALIVE… speeding in general is always the killer 99% of the time wirh bikes like these. Speed of your own bike that is… others around you will come to you a lot faster if you yourself is going fast just remember that
Great you are taking it easy/slow. Dont push the skills to soon
Congras on 500 I was the 500th one🥳
Thank you ! I have a new video going up shortly 🙌
Congrats for you new bike. It is a really good bike, but not a good bike to start. It could be really scary for a beginner. I think it would have been a better idea to start with a used ninja 400 for 3 to 6 months then you could switch to a 600cc. Not saying you can not start with a 600cc, but it will be a lot a pressure on you. Anyway, it seems you already decided :-). Wish you the best. Have fun with you new bike. Stay safe
Nice.
Next month i will start the motorcycle course and i hope I'll get my licence soon. I'm driving cars for 13 years. Never driven a motorcycle before. I'm thinking of getting a suzuki SFV 650 gladius as my first bike. GSX-R would be too expensive.
Which ever bike you get just be safe!
NEVER PUT YOUR KEY IN THE BIKE UNTIL YOU ARE SITTING ON IT, gloves and helmet on strapped ready to ride,
so you dont get pushed out the way and bike is gone.
have you ever tried to get a key out of a pocket with gloves on? someone tries to push me out of the way they aint goin far, not far at all
@@dogdaze3689you’d be surprised. It happens all the time. I put mine in right before gloves, sitting on the bike.
That is a good practice bro but seeing this dudes city and neighborhood I doubt there's much crime
Brutal SUZUKI saund 😀💪
I cant wait to get my first bike
I’m so happy I finally did it!
Beautiful bike
I love it
can you ride figure 8's in a parking lot? that will help you not drop the bike or you might drop it practicing.
Yo thats point beach!!
Its ride top g 🤝
I started on a Suzuki gsx R-1000….
Everyone had an opinion 99% said it was a dumb decision.
But, I waited until I was mature enough to respect, I think you can start in anything it’s mainly a mind set.
I wasn’t ready for a motorcycle until after I turned 30…
And always wear full gear, I started riding with the best gear available, basically full Gp RSV-4 leather jacket level 3/ alpine Gp gauntlet gloves/ AGV Gp helmet/ Alpine Gp boots/ Kevlar pants with pads.
Is the best gear on the market import no but whatever gets you in the mindset needed.
I did the same thing! I waited till I was 31 (this past April). I made sure all my gear was track rated when I bought it. It was definitely worth waiting.
Starting on a 1000 is a dumb idea,thats a fact not an opinion.
nice stuff
Thanks! I appreciate it.
A GSX-R 600 as your first motorcycle? - The things we do for CZcams!! At least you have youth and hopefully fast reactions on your side. 😂😂
I actually didn’t do it for CZcams. For as long as I could remember I’ve wanted a sport bike. Tried getting one at 18, didn’t happen. Then tried again at 21, 23, 25, and 28. All of which failed at obtaining a bike. I’m now 31 starting this. But I like making videos and I want to create content. So I figured this would be something cool to try. Just documenting what it’s like as a 600 as a first bike. Taking it seriously and doing the right things. Just trying to promote an acceptable way of doing this.
@@Jefe-R Well you're obviously a sensible young chap, I'd have probably wrapped it round a lamp post by now. Have you tried the upper powerband yet, where the front wheel gets light?
Ohh yes, and it definitely gets light 😂. Very addictive feeling 😅
@@Jefe-R 😂 👍
Is that Spring Lake / Belmar NJ area?
Beautiful bike! I’m still on the fence on if I should start on the ninja 400 or just get one of these babies. I’ve never ridden a day in my life lol
There are lots of factors to consider. I will be posting a new video soon on this. And why I chose to go straight to a 600 with very limited exp on a motorcycle. It’s almost riding weather here. The gsxr has been in storage since October. Can’t wait to go pick it up !
Love r 600
Thank you!
@@Jefe-R thank pro
Looks like Spring Lake, New Jersey?
Jersey shore?
you need to test this bad boy on some proper curvy roads not just on straight city roads. Hope you have some around your area. Good Luck from Europe!
I do! Has been raining here for the past 10days so has been difficult to even ride. :/
This is a beautiful area, is this next to the ocean? Where is this?
First time riding a motorcycle was a 2008 1300cc Busa.......never ridden a rocket in my life, only a 4 wheeler for 3 months.😂 Greatest feeling in the world..if I knew them what I know now... probably would have never even sat on the bike
Why
😂 insane
Where do you live, the houses look like castles lol
Congrats on the new bike.
Love that color. How much did you pay for it?
$7500
@@Jefe-R Nice bike.And also ballsy for a first bike. Safe travels.
what mic are you using for the go pro audio
The mic is a $10 mic I purchased from staples. In this video I’m using a hero 6 with the mic adapter
Curious what gloves do you have on there?
The gloves are alpinestars gp pro R3
im the 136 sub
Bruh I have the same exact bike 😂 dope
Love the vid but you make me nervous hugging the yellow line, it's very easy for a car to cross left of center and clip you
been looking at buying or financing a bike , how much more is full coverage? I’ve had a couple different quotes and some are insane
Full coverage in nj. Was $116 a month
@@Jefe-R thanks found a company that is 115 a month, thanks
@@Slow_Gixxerwhere at?
Geico gave me the best deal.
good bike but they have a few demons just respect it and stay in your skill level who gives a shit what anyone else thinks about how you ride just be safe man bike is clean man you did good which gopro are you using? it will also make a huge difference if you invest in someone to set your suspension up for you as far as normal riding if to tight its bad and to loose is bad plus it will help you from getting tired and sore set up the sag preload and compression and damping
This looks like Long Branch\Asbury Park vibe. Jersey?
Close lol little more south Manasquan, point pleasant area
Love it lol just earned a subscriber@@Jefe-R. Hopefully I see you on the road once I finally do get a bike
did you start in the low power mode?
So I found out on the gsxr 600 there’s no low power mode. There’s two different a and b modes but honestly no idea what they do. Apparently it’s two different track modes. But no noticeable difference (I’m not going fast enough to notice ) but yeah now I don’t switch a or b I just leave it.
@@Jefe-R I heard b mode was slower like only 60% and i wanted to start on one bc of that
The difference between A and B mode is reduce in power. A Mode is full power and B Mode is Rain Mode and it reduces about 40 hp.
damn what state is this? looks nice
This is New Jersey
Yo bro where did u get ur license?
Raceway park
Got any recommendations for new beginners
I can give you insights from another new riders point of view. I listen to myself and ride to my potential. Do the research. Watch the CZcams videos on how to ride. Invest in good gear. Understand that when you mention motorcycles to most ppl you’ll get a horror story they have of one and how dangerous they are. Just prepare yourself correctly. Learn your bike. Know how to use the brakes, and be able to slow the bike down as fast as possible with out losing control of it. It’s an amazing experience and one I’m happy I finally did.
@@Jefe-R thank you I’m still getting comfortable on my bike only parking lots and back roads mainly until I get ready for the traffic and highway
Look up Ride Like A Champion and sign up for their courses. It will greatly improve your riding skills. It's like adding years to your ability in a short amount of time.
LAMS approve?
Was this the very first time???
This was the first time for me on the road in traffic yes. But to clarify, I spent a few days riding in a parking lot, And then did the msf course. So I did have some time on the bike but not much.
I don't understand how ppl are modding the bike before then can even ride it
This guy is probably doing high speed runs with the boys now I bet 😄
3 Gire🙄
Sounds like hog , instant additional xtra 5 horses with this muffler
gsxr 600 is a beginner bike a 636 is not
honestly i think starting on this is stupid. You seem super timid, scared to even go in the power band, aka the fun zone.
Rightfully so, i might add. These are not beginner bikes. With ridermodes they can be easier to learn on but without they are unforgiving.
And I can't imagine the seating position to be too comfy either, it's a race bike which you are riding like a 125 cc scooter.
You are going to be learning your bike physics on that bike which means that you'll be dropping that bike likely more than your next bikes.
and dropping that thing with fairings even from low speeds means a fairing makeover which is costly.
But of course, if you have money then nothing's a biggie. But not even with money can you undo some critical injuries which you'll likely get with that bike.
Not because it's a dangerous bike, no no, I ride an -01 zzr 1100 which has 150 hp that's my 5th bike.
Started on a 50cc 2t moped, then had a second one of those, then bought a 500cc ER-5, then a 125 cc scooter, and now the zzr 1100.
It was not a problem for me to maneuver my first big bike, the er-5, since I was already very familiar with how friction works, even though the power was a handful back then.
also on that kind of standard bike the riding position is also much more comfortable and actually meant for the street, unlike that bike, which belongs to the track.
Off topic but why u live in a fantasy neighborhood lol shit looks like some creepy ass shit
🤣🤣🤣 I love where I live
Not trying to be the buzzkill guy but I'm gonna kill your buzz, way too fast for a starter bike,I think you honestly cheaped out, you cheaped out because faster bikes(USED) usually aren't all that expensive, because the current rider doesn't want anymore (probably almost died and pooed his pants for the last time) or because the current rider beat the absolute piss out of the bike. Too many people are too scared to say anything "perceived negative" there's nothing negative about wanting to see people not die and seeing people learning how to properly ride instead, IMO, starting on a bike with over a hundred fucking horsepower isn't a starter bike, that's an intermediate to expert level bike, a gsx 250 or something would have been better and you could actually pin the throttle on a 250 in the corner where as your 600 you'd be stupid af to pin the throttle on that bike without the proper know how. not everyone is the same, everyone has different abilities riding, true, but every noob is a noob for a reason and that's why 600cc class bikes aren't noob bikes, they're closer to expert level bikes. Be super careful, ride safe, have fun, and don't tell your friends 600cc bikes are starter bikes because they are not sir LOL
Sidenote, just because every squid and fuckboy who drives a sport bike will likely say "hahah its fine bro" It's not, 600cc bikes are dangerous af when you dont know what you're doing
I’m gonna make a video soon addressing this. I agree with you, but I also disagree to a point.
Its really not a big problem to start on a 600😕, you know how many people that ik started out on a cbr1000r or a r1 and they never crashed nor had any issues with anything. Its all what u can afford and nothing is wrong to buy any bike once u can afford it buy it rmr a bike wont go faster than u want it too plus with all the technology today on bikes u can make a 1000 feel like a 600 or even a 400 , and its the same for the 600s u can make them feel like a 300cc bike. So just buy what u like thats my advice cuz it doesnt make sense to waste money to buy a 600 over a 1000 if u have the money when u can just switch modes and make the 1000 feel like a 600, and for the weight difference it isnt much to feel lol i said what i said
@@Jefe-Rbro just enjoy the 600 anyone can buy what they like, ppl actually want ppl to buy a 250 that doesnt even sound good plus some persons would buy a bike just cuz they love the sound of it, my theory is any speed can kill and any bike doesnt matter can kill, just buy what u like and practice, be careful rmr a bike wont go faster than u want it too
You are going to hurt yourself, and your motorcycle
why you say?? from what I watched, I seen a very green rider in full gear who knows he dont really know what hes doing, thats 1000% better than most noobs who think they got it dialed in. this guy has a lot to learn but he has a better chance than the "super noob" who is destined for the pavement from the rip.
Big first bike hell yea be safe
You will be hoonin in no time…
buy one gsxr and look like every gsxr unless u paint it
