I highly recommend not buying one of these for your first bike, but I can't stop you, so here's a real beginners basics guide to riding the twisties on a supersport for the first time.
#motorcycle #gsxr1000r #newrider #sportbike #1000cc #600cc
I like how you always promote a mature mindset when riding super sports.
Lots of very important info here dudes really doing a service for new riders🙌
I like butt stuff
My wife says I drive my motorcycle like a grandpa. Lol! I just like to ride.
@@allendawson5752 you know what that means right? It’s code for “I want you to have your way with me on the bike”. I’m a polyglot expert translator, trust me.
As a racer, my advice is if you ride a motorcycle on the road, listen to what this gentleman is telling you. His advice is excellent
I was about to say the same thing I’m a club racer and can 100% say going fast on the streets is totally different from going fast on a twisty track. I don’t go fast on streets/twisty roads once I came to that maturity level of riding
Let me offer up a little prayer: May the algorithm gods blow up this channel, for the content is pure and righteous. Amen.
its working
I believe your prayer is being answered. I have never heard of this channel until one video ago.
I never realized how little throttle it takes for these bike to gain so much speed. Thanks for making videos!
I barley twist mine on my zx6r and I’m already going 40
yepppp.. unless highways are what you mostly ride, 1000s are impractical
Watch his video "why the skill floor is so deceptive". It goes into this in great detail
Liter bikes will completely warp your perception of speed.
Having a good deal of riding time on my friend's S1000RR you can hit 80+mph in first gear with only 20% throttle faster than the majority of mid level sports cars can hit 60mph.
Makes my Street Triple feel like a toy and while my previous MT-09 had wicked acceleration you would feel it, the BMW isn't even trying.
@@KimmyR3 Sadly manufacturers love to put all the fancy goodies on the liter bikes, serious praise to Aprilia and CFMoto in this regard putting just as much tech in beginner and middle weights, but for the VAST majority of brands you are required to buy a 1000cc+ to get basic electronics like cruise control, heated grips, fully custom rider modes, blue tooth connectivity, Hell I noticed BMW even has heated seats as an option.
1:39 this guy didn’t want to hit you. He passed you aggressively because you were parked in the middle of his lane.
You are absolutely one of the best content creator for motorcycling. Hope you keep going. Thanks for the vids man much love!
♥️♥️♥️
You had me at "and their buddy jus kinda goes...weeeeeee".
Awesome video, thank you! TH-cam needs more content like this. The u-turn in a parking lot has kinda been done to death.
Started watching your videos last night. Good stuff all around. Your simple, to the point, and no ego approach are refreshing.
Thanks for your training lessons. Its helping with my new bike.
Too kind man, hope I've been able to help explain somethings in ways others may not have
KUDO'S! I found your channel and after just five minutes into this video I subscribed and liked it. I have been riding for 45+ years and teach new riders as well. I love that you address newbs and teach rather than making fun of them. Excellent presentation. Keep up the great work.
This is a very interesting topic, big bike on a small road like this.
I recently upgraded from 500cc p-twin to 600cc i4 Yamaha FZ6 and often feel very overwhelmed by throttle sensitivity and available power.
I feel the same way. I just upgraded to a 2011 zx6 from a Ninja 400, and the power delivery/turning are completely different.
same bike that I got bro! Best wishes on the fz6, stay safe, and enjoy the comfy seating!
Had to sell my bike today to pay bills 😢I’m super depressed as riding is the only thing that helps my PTSD, send me good vibes so I can once again return to the road, btw I enjoy your vids and think they’re filled with good advise for beginners, keep up the good work 😎
Sending good vibes. Get into a better situation and save up for a cheap bike when things are better and it is worth it. Good luck
@@ommanomnom Thx man
I hadn't a clue what riders meant when they said look through the turn. Then I began riding and my first turn I put my head through, pushed but my newbie eyes locked onto a mailbox. 😅 So as I'm closing into this box I'm thinking wtf is going on, turned my eyes onto a narrow escape spot and missed the mailbox, thankfully. After that it all clicked and my eyes never left my turning point from then on. Also taking the course was the best thing I could have done. I was young so I did everything backwards. I look back at myself and think how I even survived sometimes. 😅
Alot of really good advice here, good job! Trying to teach and show at the same time as riding is really demanding and talking coherently is really hard. If you ever decide to do a follow up video on this, maybe you could talk a bit about late turn ins and the momentum needed to pull that off vs earlier turn ins with less speed to compensate (did that make sense at all?), and how shedding even a tiny bit of speed can make all the difference? Alot of people get a shocker when they find out that one turn at 25 mph can be boring but the same turn at 30 makes you think you are gonna die.
Im not picking on the video btw, I genuinly would like to hear your thoughts on it
Always thought about getting a Hayabusa but this channel really opened my eyes. Its not for me in cars u can be nonchalant or have fun but u dont risk dying if u loose focus for second.
earned a sub for this, very good explanations and thank you for trying to keep new riders alive
You’re getting better at speaking. Stay concise and try not to get off topic. Looking forward to more content 👍
Coming from a passionate lifelong rider who’s obsession began with a brand new yellow 1984
Yamaha tri zinger 60 atc that santa had left In the kitchen for my third Christmas . (Dang how time flys when we’re having fun) and currently enjoying my first triumph speed triple
Keep up the good work brother.
Trying to convey how rapidly life comes at you on most any high spirited sport bike especially liter and liter+ machines is all but impossible if you haven’t experienced it personally but I think you did a great job. I guess I understand the urge to fly off of the handle and go big right off the bat with a fire breathing monster for a first bike and some people will do ok but if had to bet that number is low. The first time the unlucky ones have a slip up on 160-190hp machine there’s a good chance
even if they walk away unscathed that it will scare them half to death and be their last ride and will miss out on a lifetime of fun. Experiencing a bunch of buck wild horses due to a panic pin will rob a new rider of every ounce of confidence in their body and leave em heartbroken never to ride again. That’s a a sad reality that doesn’t have to happen so again great video touching on areas that are often overlooked and hard to explain. Safe travels everyone! Hope this video is seen by everybody who has a severe case of first bike fever!
When you’re just starting out an over abundance of power is only good for reducing confidence and causing massive amounts of fun destroying anxiety.
I only made it 6 min in, and im subbing because the way you're explaining things has my full attention, and sometimes i get distracted easily, lol
do you need some of my adderall
I didn't realize how much different turning, cornering and swerving is on literbike until I bought one. Especially at higher speeds. They will corner so smooth and stable, it's almost effortless, but once you set a line, they do not want to stray from it. They really don't want to change directions. Quick evasive maneuvers are definitely not their thing. I can whip around a 600 but a 1000 will fight me the whole time.
You're the one who controls the bike. The bike can do pretty much anything. U just need practice and proper technique.
@@Adrenalean767 gee thx for the advice I don't need or asked for. Doesn't change the fact that different bikes handle different, which is what I was saying. You feel better now?
@@jvillain9946 well u basically said that u couldn't handle your bike so clearly u needed the advice dude.go practice ✌
@@Adrenalean767 no that's not at all what I said, but to make yourself feel special that's how you read it. I also said, when I got my FIRST literbike, or did you miss that part. I'm on my third now. I don't need practice. I'm talking to people that are starting to ride or thinking about moving up. Wtf are you riding in your videos? A vespa? Also also, everyone that rides sportbikes knows you can fling around 600s, but you have to muscle literbikes more. It's literally common knowledge.
I'm not even looking to buy a super sport bike. I just like to watch the guy with cool gloves and a fine voice to explain things in POV lol.
sitting in the middle of the road for 8 minutes ain't smart. Otherwise good tips for beginners
It’s not like he’s on the interstate my guy
@@julianvw3203he was on a public road. what you mean? Some guy literally swerved
Around
I’m upgrading to a 600 in a few days after spending a year with my ninja 650 and I’ve been watching your videos about super sports which have been super helpful with educating on the difference between most bikes and super sports. Some people have warned me not to upgrade but I respect the machine and try to educate myself as best I can
Congrats man you'll be very happy with the upgrade I'm sure. People online don't give the n650's the credit they deserve they turn in so well given their standard forks and soft suspension and kawi doesn't make bad brakes on anything. Engines have way more oomph than people like to admit as well. I'll wager you feel shockingly at home on that 600 with its sharpness on the road and responsiveness being the most impressive difference rather than the raw power like most assume 🙂
@@skyoom1 That's exactly what I experienced going from an mt07 to a zx6r, the power is fun for sure, especially the top end, but what really had me happy was how amazingly locked in and stable the bike is in a straight line and of course cornering. It seems obvious but what you sacrifice in low speed agility you gain high speed stability.
@@skyoom1 update: the guy with the 600 already sold it without telling me but I found a ‘96 zx11 posted today and bought it😅. Call me crazy but it feels amazing, sounds like heaven, and doesn’t scare me too much riding it. It looks beautiful and I was shaking riding it from the excitement haha. Gonna have to take it slow but I’m beyond happy with my purchase
@@owenbishop6544 Please be very careful on the ZX11. It is an extremely fast bike with a lot of history behind it. That bike has changed/influenced many things in motorcycling world. That bike is a legend. Ride safe.
I've been watching your videos and others like MotoJitsu to learn more about how to ride my first bike, the Rc390. Really quality info here! I really appreciate your explanations behind technique, front brake, and ergo/body positioning. This stuff makes me less fearful and more aware of the factors at play and the reasons behind them- and this is coming from someone who wiped out going wide thru an increasing-elevation hairpin going left... Thank you and stay cool!
Those hairpins up mountains are killer 😂 but glad you're here to tell the tale. Thanks man motojitsu is someone I've looked up to in instructional videos so that means a lot. Rc390 is an awesome bike easily my favorite small cc sport bike looks wise
Im 50, im taking my cycle endorsement class in July. I do not want no plant on getting a super sport, probably a cruiser like a Honda rebel 500. BUT, I really enjoy your videos as a beginner and learn a lot from you. Thanks for doing these
"probably a cruiser" need not become *actually* a cruiser.
Great video. I'm about to get my first bike and all of your videos have been pretty helpful. Not considering getting a 600 anymore, that's for sure.
This is a great shout - I have a cbr1000rr right now but I do miss my cbr650r at times, I was way more confident and quicker through corners on it and I learnt so much I'd never have learned on a 1000 or a 600. A 1000 feels bigger and no way near as nimble, despite how laser focused it is when turning in. I also made loads of mistakes on the 650 like accelerating way too hard from stop or in a corner that the TC saved me on and that with the super light throttle on a 1000 I probably would have washed out. learning to cool it on the throttle and finding a set of street tyres that offered better grip than the usually crap for the street stock tyres was a huge takeaway from riding on a smaller bike before jumping up the bores.
Been riding a 900 for a while, buts it's in a standard body position, want to get into more handling oriented bikes, this info is really helpful, I really like your old man brain in a young man body stlye of riding.
I feel like they aren't fun because you can never legally get them over second gear
It’s better to drive a slow bike fast
Yeah exactly, on a road like this there is no point to have that much power.
Well then why does anyone buy anything other than a camry or a ninja 300? Fast cars and bikes are still fun to drive
I have not ridden any supersport bike; my quickest ride is a Kawasaki Z900 SE. So, 125hp naked sport bike: great ergonomics and lots of power. The inability to often use all that power is a negative. But it is a thrill to run it wide open. Can't have it all. More power is not more fun except when you can use it. For my regular use, the easy acceleration on the freeway at quasi legal speeds is where the power is enjoyable in a low stress kind of way.
You ghay like? 😂
I need those gloves so badly 🤤
Love the video. I'm hooked. Calmly explaining everything. No rush. All the other bike video's are: fast, loud, annoying, irritating. So thanks for this. By the way I'm watching thus on a biiiig screen television.
I've gained alot from your video's, appreciate it, cheers from Australia (on my 650 er6f L plate)
I started over a year ago on a 150cc kp mini (Kawasaki z125 clone) and I thoroughly enjoyed it, I built confidence on it quick because I was so limited to speed, and the weight and size made it super easy to throw into a corner. Here recently, I got a cbr 250r as an upgrade, and I’m not just completely struggling with it, but I definitely need a lot more time riding to get more confident taking corners and I think some of these tips are spot on about some problems I have been causing like cutting a corner early or hitting a corner a little faster than I’m comfortable, heck I think it’s a combination of both and it scares me a little bit when I come around a corner a little too fast and on top of that I cut early so I end up on the edge of the lines. None the less, thank you for this video as well as your others, I really enjoy them and they open my eyes on ways I can ride better and safer, keep it up 👍
You're definitely not alone turning in early when you're scared it just makes logical sense, its a hard mental hurdle to start tipping later cause it feels like you're running red hot off the road.
If you have a road or big parking lot you can setup some cones I definitely recommend going and just running it over and over and playing with nothing but tip in timing. ~25-30mph will be fast enough to get you good feedback from your bike at the different tip in points while hopefully being slow enough to allow a proper "late" turn in
The "turn in early" is also direct linked to the bike being more slow/hevier to turn in for the biginners.
Great video
I always wanted to start on a 250 or 300, but i made an impulse buy on a cheap 97 katana 600 and 500 pounds can be hard so this is helpful
congrats on the success of your channel. your videos are really interesting to watch and its refreshing to watch people trying to teach others to be safe instead of squidding. Youve been posting so frequently you are a stud. Pretty soon it would be cool to see a video more about yourself and maybe the story about your motorcycle journey and how to came into processing the gsxr lol
09:55 100% true that statement made me laugh, great video!
What do u mean by “California west coast clean type of hairpin”? I’m from Northern California and we have a lot of gnarly goaty roads.
The famous channels and canyon rider videos/photo shoots in Southern Cali that are super popular where everyone and their mother who buys a sportbike goes out to take a picture of them leaning as hard as they can for the camera haha. New guys watch those videos and then try to replicate them on their local mountain and end up feeling terrible about themselves, running wide or washing out not knowing that those cali sweepers have barely any elevation change, are 4-6x as wide, were designed with cars in mind not rain/water, and are just overall much bigger turns.
I believe a bike can be too capable at legal speeds which makes it boring in the sense that there is no thrill involved with riding it compared with other bikes.
In the car world it is the reason why the Mazda Miata is rated so highly. It is one of the most engaging sports cars at real world speeds.
Love the advice and the gloves
Every video I've watched I'm always thinking how cool his gloves are and that I must get a pair.
Upcoming youtuber alert!!🗣🗣
I had the same experience on my modified Goxxer K1. I am not a beginner but was new to spots bikes. The first few weeks and months were very much of a discovery mission. I would strongly recommend taking it to a few track days. This completely transformed my feeling, confidence and experience on the street. It mostly made me slow down on the street. It made me much more relaxed. I used the acceleration more than top speed with -1/+2 gearing. The quick shifter also transformed the riding experience.
I just discovered your channel, newish to sportbikes, (04 cbr600rr) and man i am so grateful of your help!!! You really do explain shit in the way i need to hear it! Lets go!
Amazing video, I have just come from a ninja400 to a zx6r and it’s a bigger step than I expected, your video was amazing. I loved how you explained everything slowly and calmly
Keep up the great work
I’m starting on a zx10r 🥲
You learn about racing lines if you take a performance driving class and the vasic premise is, a lare aprx is generally going to be the objective best line possible because you have the best ability to change trajectory coming out of the turn(if youre already aimed at the place you need the most traction to get to, avoiding anything that on the track infront of you cannot possibly use too much traction). The traditional line is technically the fastest, but only under ideal conditions, otherwise it can quite easily turn into a deathtrap if you run even a little wide. It's all the exact same for cars as motorcycles. Turn in late, ease off brakes, lead throttle, smooth steering on exit, roll into throttle.
Thank you VERY MUCH for your videos!!! Coming from a street glide, wanting to get a zx4rr. These ss bikes are a totally different animal. SUBBED
Nice video, hope new riders see this kind of videos more often even before buying a bike, and yea definitely start on a 125~150 cc if possible (I would avoid mini bikes like grom if you want to ride big bikes later), heck I even think a 250cc is way too fast for a beginner, a 250cc can do 160 km/h and I imagine most beginners also don’t have good protection gear, any accident above 60 km/h will be very serious without gear.
My first bike was a left side low side crashed GSXR 600 SRAD. Tastelessly modified. Very unreliable. But once I saw that blue/white colourway, my heart was set. Would I recommend this to people. No. Is this what people will do. Yes. Long time ago I changed it to a Suzuki Bandit 1200. It's heavier, but it's so much easier going. Low end torque. More comfortable position. You can still drive it hard. I do miss the sport bike sometimes, there's nothing like it...
Fucking jealous of your roads man wtf
13:00. I ride year long in southern delaware. There isn't a road like that ANYWHERE over here. Damn it!!! Looks awesome.. to have a sharp turn but also a hill.. I'll be damned. We have completely flat land with straight and angled turns.
I like your content. I like your way of explaining. But I disagree with two things: You don't run necessarily wide when turning in too early. But you end up in oncoming traffic. We don't want that. It's unhealthy. Although people turn in too early because they're afraid to run wide. Second point is you showing yourself riding without gear. Lead by example. New riders looking up to you for information and orientation. That doesn't stop with bike handling.
Not “look where you’re going”. Look where you WANT to go. There’s a difference.
I have a question brother , when turning/cornering, are we supposed to be pushing down on the handlebars to slightly lean into turns/corners or push forward? I can't imagine how pushing forward makes sense but if it's the right way to do it I know I should invest in practicing that, but my main question is are we supposed to push down or push forward to turn? I'm very confused 😂
Everyone reacts differently and has different body movements. Case in point in 2020 when I went through the riding class I got a perfect riding score, I wasn’t scared of the bike and it was a 600. Some things come to people naturally. Some don’t. A father and son were in my class, the son passed, while the dad did not. The dad was so scared of the bike that he freaked out and looped the training bike and launched it at the instructor. As funny as it was for the split second, reality set in. He was immediately failed. This was his last mistake as he had many before that. My point is everyone reacts differently and has different natural skills. I picked up on riding very quickly and bought my first bike. 2020 ninja 650. Wasn’t enough for me, so 3 months later I bought a 2020 636. Amazing bike, fast, wicked, now I’m just waiting for my 2025 zx10r to get delivered to the dealer so I can pick it up. I feel I’ll be able to handle the bike. I don’t care about comfort, I was aware of my 636 and what it was doing and always on alert while on the road and all that. I’m waiting for the challenge and want to see what the zx10r has in store.
If you wanna steer people away going that direction how about not making this video to begin with? Or if you’re just doing it for the clicks, why don’t you just film yourself doing proper track day to teach people? If you were on a track, you’d miss every single apex , you’re turning in way too late and running wide. Learn how to ride yourself before trying to teach others. You’re gonna be the reason someone gets killed 🤦🏻♂️
Did you upload these videos in the past or on another channel or something? I swear I have strong Deja vu seeing you talk while stopped in that hairpin corner. I know that’s a popular turn but just felt like I’d maybe seen this and had to ask. Also what’s with Georgia roads, and Tennessee too to a degree…first time I saw a “caution this road can murder motorcyclists” sign was out there ON THE INTERSTATE. LIKE WTF. I was scared to death if the interstate is deadly wtf are the regular roads like
Why wouldn’t you be able to change your line???? I’ve never heard anyone say that. What “advanced stuff” are you referring to ? I mean no disrespect I’m just curious
Edit: you say wants you pick a line you’re on it you can only widen or shorten from there. This has me even more lost. How’s that not changing your line. Seems like this is more about speed than bike no?
What lens are you using? Narrow? Wild+ strong stabilization? It crops your bars right out. Also you don’t have issues holding your clip ons so close to the controls? Never had any tank clappers doing that? Aside from the reasons I was taught to grip on the opposite end, I find it just much harder to turn when you’re pushing with your grip so far inwards like that (obv do whatever works for you)
Nice. I'm surprised you didn't talk address people trying to clutch through a corner.
But still nice to see how a supersport is different than my little bike that can easily change lines 3 times in a corner.
Turning in late is not only a better line which gets you closer the the apex and keeps you from running too wide but its a faster and straighter line which allows you to see the exit quicker and corner faster. Country roads can be narrow and uneven so stick to the speed limits and ride safely.
I push friends who are new to come out to a track day. Learn what you bought and you will really see more of what it can do. I'm a 'granny' on my 1000 on the street. The teasing doesn't bother me, living to ride another day is worth it.
I would just look for the exit in the turn, just like on track, then couter steer a little, lean into the turn, stick your inboard knee out. Feels great! I love that sound
I don't understand if you turn late for example to the left, won't you tend to overshoot the road? As opposed to turning early? And why do you say push the handlebar to the right if you want to turn left? Been wanting a Hayabusa for a long time. Thank you!
Recognizing the area, you should come up and do a video on the W Road going up the side of Signal Mtn.....if it's open again that is.
Few things so far, good effort good job on the video.
First what a crappy road to show what you are trying to put forth, gravel, leaves, narrow as hell, if anyone is ripping this road it won’t be long before they won’t be. Better road would have been a better video.
I’m a longtime rider, now for the last 3 years primarily track rider, I would humbly say I’m a top third in our intermediate group, still learning as we all should be. One of the first things you spoke about was turn in late; they best advice I received on track was tell yourself wait wait wait, turn in. It helped so much, I was always turning in early. Not anymore and now I’m so much of a better smoother rider.
Even though this is beginner information, for me it was helpful just to hear things again. Thanks
New subscriber here👍
LOL... BUT... having said that, this road has less traffic and he can concentrate on his delivery and was also able to stop and point things out. He was educating about turns less than road hazards. He did indeed choose the right road. It would have also been a good choice for a video on road hazards. Now if there is a video on managing twisties on a road WITH traffic... that is the next video and yes... a different road.
What??This road is perfect .
Been looking for content like this. I’m a dirt biker newly transitioned to my first street bike. Despite ripping through the woods for years, I feel like a novice on the twisties and this is very helpful. I’m on a ninja 400 so not quite the same as their big brothers, but it’s definitely not a dirt bike either. Please make more of these. I need all the help I can get. I really want to be able to grab my wife and hit our beautiful back country, but I’m not yet comfortable enough to ride solo, let alone have a passenger. I have miles of great roads here in MO, but any mistake could have dire consequences, as the terrain can be very steep and rocky. Thanks for the tips!
It’s great you feel like a novice, that means you’re somewhat intelligent and have some degree of a survival instinct. Way too many people think j they can just hop onto a new type of bike and ride like they stole it. Just trust your instincts. You’ll know when your skill is where it needs to be. Nothing can take the place of time in the seat. Nothing. Dont try to make it. Just give yourself the time for gaining experience and don’t rush it.
@@MarissaTheMuse thanks for the input. I completely agree. The more time I spend on the bike, the better I feel. I got pretty good at riding my 450 on the trails. I definitely pushed my limits on that bike, but that’s how you get better. I don’t treat my street bike the same way. I’m way more cautious and unsure of myself. Almost to the point of overthinking. I just need to ride more I guess.
I’m a little skeptical about the whole turning late thing because yes, it keeps you from the white line out of the turn but a lot of beginners are going to fast into curves and and if the have a turn late mindset they’ll abandoned their line not look through the curve and go straight off into the ditch or wall… so take all this advice with a grain of salt, and simply go practice nice and slow
You a hero for making the content you do!
Thanks for the tips. That hairpin looks more like something I would see offroad with a mud hole and no berm. Meaning no grip or traction. I would like the video on counter balance lean turns. I am on taller bike so do the counter balance lean.
That is the worst road to learn on. My God what a POS. The most important thing is being smooth and flowing. Don't know what your reason is about turning in late. U should start your turn to get the best line to hit the apex whenever that might be. It's on camber vs off camber btw.
You got the right idea here brother. One thing you can do is in editing, you can check the footage, pause and record commentary over it if you think you forgot or missed or even want to emphasis a point with something on the screen or upcoming to draw attention to it.
Keep up the good work about educating people. 👍👍
I considered starting with 300cc or 450cc bike even though I'm a fresh beginner rider.. I know it's not much for westenees but here in Ph where traffic is bumper to bumper, road condition sucks, and intersections are everywhere, that is quite enough..
What I consider is, if I'm going to buy a very expensive machine and just drop or wreck it, might just consider starting small at least it's cheaper to maintain and replace the parts.. I suggest to jave the same reason.
I've been riding most my life. Even road raced in college. But, haven't owned a pure sportbike and in about 15 years. And I'm paying attention, because I'm about to re enter that arena with a zx6r. However, your nonchalant attitude to sit on a mountain road (that you don't own privately) is achingly hard to watch.
ER! Ride at the posted speed limit, slow down at bends well before they get to you, Um, It's not a blimmin race to the end, If you treat it as such you deserve what you get.
You need to be a track coach at a track . excellent..thankyou..go to sa track video A class and do a apex throttle brake description..your good at what you do .awesome
I first started to ride on an R6, never drove a car before (I am 35 years old). I really enjoyed riding this R6 because it seemed very precise, but I was and still am a little bit afraid of turns, because I don't know how fast I can enter them. And yes, you talking about leaning earlier in the corner is a mistake; this is exactly what I've been doing, but for my next ride, I will try to lean later in the corner. I also have a problem with target fixation, which seems a very bad habit because I almost got messed up a few times. So my question is if turning late into the corner is the solution ? If I die this is on you! (joking, of course)
I've had my Honda Firestorm (not even supersports per se but still has clip-ons and a fairly sporty riding position) since 2016 but literally since watching this video my enjoyment and cornering ability has been transformed, mainly by your clear instructions about arm position. Before this bike I only had standard/upright bikes with handlebars not clip-ons. I was already doing most of the other stuff but your clear advice to tuck in the elbows has made it feel like a different bike. It's provided the 'missing link' in improving my riding on this bike. Thank you very much and kudos to you for the great video.
🙂
Thats a supersport allright
You say you do not recommend these bikes. Which one do you actually recommend for a beginner, then? Is there a video about that?
Ha, step 1; Park on the side/off a travel lane to avoid near death experience with cagers (with or without collision).
Push left to go left. Push right to go right. It initiates natural lean. Only time you pull is slow speed maneuvers
Have you got any exercises to recommend for back and core abs to help reduce weight on the handlebars?
Ps, A 125cc bike is fast in the twisties, plenty fast enough to enjoy the ride.
Nuts to the tank. 😂 I really like the detailed explanations, really shows you care, and have seen a thing or two out there
The tutorial for riding like this should be professional training at a closed course, most riders nowadays can't even control their throttle at low speeds let alone when fractions of seconds are life and death decisions
I loved your but it made me watch 2, 10 second un skippable adds so I disliked it.
Them for sharing, those white marks on the throttle was a great way to track how much gas u was goin up or down.
Well f’n done in all respects. Especially acting like an adult. Several YT ‘stars’ need to follow your lead. 👍🏻
I was taught the acronym SWIFT. Start Wide Intend to Finish Tight.
Sorry if you went over this is in an earlier video, but what would a beginner be in your definition? Some people describe it as someone who hasn't taken their first bike to a few track days, some describe it as someone who hasn't hopped on a supersport, some define it as never being on bike before at all. What would be the threshold be for you?
What bike did you start on? When did you start riding? Do you have all the bikes in your videos?
me watching this with an 80s honda 450 cc cruiser that can't hit nowhere close to speeds as ur bike
I caught loose gravel and crap late turning on twisty . went down at 30.
It feels more comfortable when you push instead of turning on a turn or curve
I like this channel it’s like having an experienced mate giving some brotherly advice. Have picked up a few useful tips thanks.
Look where you want to go. In turns, look to the entry>apex>exit then throttle out. Great content bro.😉
When is suzuki gonna get with the times and update that crappy lcd display
Been at work binge watching your videos, keep up the good work man
Thanks for teaching and not just saying don’t do it you’ll die
Man I saw some of the mistakes I make. Applying this tomorrow, you got a new subscriber with me.
Don’t park around a corner. Always on a straight.
