This is my first vlog on the GSXR, and I'm getting things ready for when I get my R1 back on the road. The wind noise is a bit much, and the microphone needs sorting out, but I will work on it.

    Not sure about the cost saving aspect ;-) Maybe if you buy a bike to commute on and not have a car. As a family Dad I need a few cars for basic family movement. The bikes are toys that I cannot live without and ride as often as I get a chance, but it certainly is not a cheap affair. Add to that the gear required, and my recent obsession with also filming rides... At the end of the day it's all worth if in my case and provides spiritual satisfaction that cannot be valued. Agree with all of the points of a sense of freedom and connection to the bike.

It looks and sounds like one and tbf they are probably one of the worst 1000cc bikes for a newbie , I had a ex iom TT trackbike one and they are like a 2 stroke flat as a fart like a 600 until they get to 8-9k then they try to murder u to death 😂 amazing chassis tho , probably one of the best handling bikes I’ve ridden . Most modern 1000cc bikes are pussy cats in comparison, just turn all the electronics on and put it in a soft map and they are easy to ride . Old school stuff is far more challenging

    Even though I think the Akras on mine are a tad too quiet, even with a decat, given my sensitive hearing after 20 years of riding, I'd find the exhaust a bit too much and all too easy for plod in Wales to pick fault with everything on the bike. How much did you lose low down or in the midrange with that on, since you're effectively shortening the exhaust pulses for scavenging.

  • @Titot182
    @Titot182 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I cut my teeth with IL4 sportsbikes back in 2005 when I had that 18500Rpm screamer of a ZXR250. It taught you to expect the top end rush of an IL4 powerband. Going onto a 1997 ZX6R 2 years after that, it felt like there was more of everything. You had the quick acceleration, the powerband, the first time the clocks saw 150mph. Following that, I had a 929 FireBlade which just felt like a torquier 600. The step change came when I went onto my 4C8 R1, as per your vid. It was like an R6 with more meatier power delivery, power band included. Despite the fact that you can use it as a 6th gear twist and go or launch it in first everywhere until the shift light comes on past 80mph, it just felt at home on track. The point is, if you know how to react to the power delivery and respect that the laws of physics and energy conservation are still applicable and are more consequential on something that capable, then you'll enjoy it. Sadly, UK track days are getting more expensive with more prohibitive noise restrictions, and the roads are full of self entitled non-attentive road users, it's not worth the risk to go out for a moment of frenzy. Still have the R1 and still have my Gen 1 Fazer Thou. Would rather ride the Fazer on the road since the chassis is more suited to poor surfaces compared to my R1, with suspension set up for track. Still somewhat prefer the riding position and mad power delivery of the R1, only if it wasn't illegal to do the latter.

That was the only way I could make up for lack of top speed in the straights and anyone can go fast in slow corners. However, when I got on his 750 not even on the track I thought the bike was going to rip my arms off trying to stay on it.

Just a little below 6000 rpm and it was already doing 160km/h (~99mph), and it still had another 8000 rpm left until the redline! Not to mention being capable of doing 165km/h (~103mph) in 1st gear! Out of the six, it was the best litre bike I've ever owned, closely followed by the Thunderace. 🙂
