Haha thanks man wouldnt say its a bad bike to start on but wouldnt recommend anyone with no previous experience to pick it u from 4 hours away and ride it home alone hahah thanks man
@@ThePottingmachine bad idea but can be done, check out some of my other vids, the mt07 i got after owning this bike was the best thing i could do, would highly reccomend and naked bike, duke 790, mt07, something with accessable power where you want it on the streets and comfortable riding position to inspire confidence, sport bikes are cool but there hard work in the long run, need to wind them up and cant touch the real power unless you go track, i would only reccomedn super sport if its a dream bike, track bike, weekend fun or to look cool (after riding 3 years i realised that the 'il grow into it' approach is not smart and will only slow down your learning, the more you get out of a bike means the more fun you will have
“If I die then I die” I literally felt this exact same way yesterday, picked up my 2021 MT07 from a dealer 2 hours away and rode it home in the pouring rain. My last bike had about half the torque and hp
Great video definitely had me worried in the beginning but at least you had the confidence to get the bike in the first place especially a zx6r keep riding man wish you the best of luck
Loved the video, as someone contemplating a 636 as well for a first bike was nice to see you struggling and learning as you go on those roads. Luckily I live in a sunny desert haha. Clean bike and ride safe! Cheers from across the pond in the U.S.
thank you man! Just take it easy and dont stop learning, its very easy to think oh i can ride good now but you have to keep pushing and learninig, read twist of the wrist 2 and total control by lee parks or i will never reply to your comment again HAHA
Bought my 2019 ZX6-R three weeks ago. She’s my first street machine, and I have no regrets. I’ve ridden dirt bikes my whole life (sometimes on paved highway) so I know how to handle a bike, but talk bout MAD! I love it. It’s a proper bike to learn on, but it’s stupid fast for a first bike. I’ll never get rid of her! Enjoy Mate!!! Be careful on those wet roads though!
oiiiiiiii that must be naughty! 19 model yeh you must be loving it lol yeh man too fast I only really just starteed fucking around with the power bad recently and its a madness lol and yeh trust me I am now, flew off it couple months back in the wet lol was a learning curve that one thanks for watching man... Doing a subscriber meet up for 1k subs with all my ogs who been supportive stay active and were link up!
These new rider videos are refreshing,i think maybe u guys are having the most fun.a surfing phrase comes to mind,the best surfer is the one with the biggest grin on his face !
You've got bigger balls than me, my friend, I passed my A2 about three months ago and picked up my first bike the week after I passed. Nothing but respect for you jumping on such a powerful machine as a new rider. I ended up buying the Royal Enfield Meteor 350. I'm not a speed demon and am happy crusing along, taking in the views. Either way, mad respect brother, stay safe 🙏
Haha 💀 bravery and stupidity fall close together lol but yeh this is a day I won’t forget ever I don’t think haha I still remember this day very clearly Thanks for watching man and yeh same way I’m not a speed demon either I found that out after owning this bike, I ended up going to a mt07, then a 701, then a Crf450r sm then to another 07 haha Right now I’m out in Brazil on a cg160 💀 currently looking at another MT07 🇧🇷 haha I love the 07s That 350 will allow you to learn way more at a faster rate, and you will be able to use all of the bike, This 600 I couldn’t even scratch the surface, it leaves it a frustrating ride cause you have to do 60+ for the bike to even wake up then you got to slow down cause police, traffic etc feel unsafe doing 70+ on street The 07 and the 701 allow me to get way more out of the bike it’s so much more usable in a lot more situations which makes it so much more fun to ride The MT07 is near half the price of the 07 and easier to live with which is why it’s one of my favourite bikes I would love to get to a f850gs or something next year tho try out the adventure bikes
@TARZANMotoVlogs totally get you, bro. I've never been into the sports bikes myself. I enjoy watching BSB a fair bit, but that's it. The RE meteor 350 has been a great way to build my confidence. It's also great for commuting and Sunday riding to a nice country pub with my mrs on the back. I'm gonna keep it for a fair few more years, then I'll probably upgrade and get the RE Meteor 650. It's a heavier, more powerful machine and better for touring. I'm a bit of a Royal Enfield nut if you haven't noticed 😂. If you want to get into the adventure style of bikes, I can highly recommend the Royal Enfield Himelayan 450. My best mate rides one, and I've ridden it a few times it's a fantastic machine. Me and him are planning to do the NC500 in Scotland this summer using our bikes.
This is an excellent video, I really felt nervous for you to be honest, as if it was my own bike. Very immersive for the first time collecting your bike. Ride safe. You have a new subscriber.
Haha thank you man! Doing a lot better now on my mt-07 and hopefully adding a r6 to the family aswell in a month or two so be able to bring some good content switching between bikes etc thanks for leaving a comment👊👊
So funny 🤣. That was exactly how I felt about six weeks ago. Not nearly as scary for me since I bought a Ninja 400. I will hopefully move up to the ZX-6R when I build up my riding skills. Good luck, ride safe 👍
haha good to know people can relate haha yeh probably a bit more of a sensible choice there these are very aggressive foot pegs are high and seat and the handle bars are low so its very unatural! thanks for watching!!
For your first time riding the bike I must say you did pretty good man good luck and wish you the best with you’re new baby lol that highway pull at the end remainded me of when I first started riding. Just be careful and don’t get too confident on the bike to quickly because you’ll end up in a situation that you have no idea how to get out of. Be safe bro
Thanks man listen I appreciate you watching and commenting it means a lot and yehhhh man never felt nothing like it lol had to dare myself but yeh you right you gotta be careful on these things I wouldnt recommend them to anyone who doesnt have good self control
Very raw video man loved it! Reminds me of my first ride with my ninja 250 couple of days after my test, I was stuck at some lights trying to take off in second hahaha 😅 (many years ago now) I'm Picking up my zx6r tomorrow have a 400km ride home with it should give me some one on one time with bike. Keep up with videos and ride safe TWO WHEELS ONE LOVE!!
thanks man fully appreciate you taking time to comment 👊👊 yeh jokes haha you should be exited lol your in for a different experience to that 250 when that powerband kicks in its like you enter a different dimension lool yeh stay safe man and will do!
Credit to you man, It takes a lot of courage to do what you did. Thanks for posting your first ride; only some people will post their first ride on a new bike. I am nervous because ill be picking up a new bike next month. Undecided if I want to go with a 600cc.
thank you, with what I know now I will always advise against starting on a 600 haha you literally miss out on so much learning / fun Be better to start on something more practical, useable power like a parallel twin, comfy so can ride all day get triple the seat time and learn 3x faster, then you will find out what style of riding you like / want to push for and can take your next step from there... Sport bikes are very good and fun, but the most fun you will get out of riding will be down to how much you can get out of the bike your ride Let me know how you get on!
Thank you 👊 good times haha thinking of getting a 17 636 for 2024 around March time get back on a sport bike it’s been a while lol good luck with the vlogs 👊👊
@@TARZANMotoVlogs 05-09 GSXR 600. Something old just in case i drop it. But i have to get all my own gear and go through the course again so it may be a while before im riding
@Not bad! Good choice on the chosen bike as well. As I watched your video, it brought me back to my first purchase and that ride home. My stomach was in a knot when you pulled away and my pulse was rising knowing the feeling you were experiencing are intense and intimidating. At the same time, hoping your maiden voyage was a safe one. Played it safe... well, for a moment it seemed! Hahaha good show cracking that throttle open. These bikes like to breathe. Hope all is well and thanks for uploading that video. Really enjoyed it. Take care and WHAT UP from California! Late!
you explained the way i felt better than i could explain haha you definatly talk from experience! its good to hear everyones first stories on here haha yeh you know had to see what it was really like! and yehhh out there in Cali! mad! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment man means a lot👊👊
Haha gpod stuff bro. You have balls. Well done. I remember picking up my first bike after never riding before and taking it straight down the freeway in peak hour. I shat myself!
I’m glad I learn at the age of 12 on a full size bike weighing probably 3x my own weight. I didn’t have to worry about cars and traffic while learning in field. Seriously my brother explained the friction point of the clutch and from there I was off and going. The up shifts and down shifts weren’t hard compared to taking off the first few times. By the way you got exact year and model as my present ride, triple black and all. Here in the states I began driving a car at 15. Unlike my oldest brother who always had a book in his face, I at least watched as my parents drove observing street names and signage. He on the other hand was completely lost and had to have everything mapped out for him, street by street, turn by turn. Some of us are born ready to drive and ride. 😎
good comment man thank you and yeh exactly were born for this haha check the latest content its a bit different but im still active! i live for this bike life
I laughed watching this while smoking a spliff today. Been looking to buy a ninja 650 or 636 as a returning rider. When he said - this is fucking sick 🤣🤣🤣
haha! check the latest content to see where were at these days... LOL just waiting for the warm weather! I love the 636 and have plans to get one in the future for stock stunt bike, but the 650 will be a lot better welcome back to bikes get you comfier much faster as you probably already know or maybe check out the mt09 or something, check my aprilla tuono 660 factory review, BEST street bike i have ever ridden hands down its such a perfect bike
Sport bikes are all leaning during turns. Totally different then my cruisers. The sport bike is so much fun, im so hooked. Im 43yr old. There is nothing more exhilarating then cracking open a inline 4!! The high revs and speed makes me smile ear to ear just thing about it!
Yeh its defiantly one of the best things I've ever done I can't stay off of it lol Yeh nothing I've ever done compares to the feeling, that inks for watching man and thanks for taking time to drop a comment I appreciate it!
Thanks for watching man! Any questions just ask! Rememebr this day like it was yday haha check my latest videos I’m on a MT07 right now such good fun would’ve been a much better option than this for a first bike haha👊
haha thanks man I felt the same when I was riding it lol I appreciate you checking the video and dropping a comment! New videos every Monday and Friday atm
This video took so much confidence, for real... Not that he has any riding defense, but he took his time, and didn't ride like an asshole. Enjoy your new lifestyle man!
I appreciate that man nothin but the truth on this channel! Thanks for taking the time to comment it means a lot, and yeh been riding for l7/8 months now and loved every bit of it... even falling off was a good experience lool Im doing a giveaway atm for when I reach 1000 subs so look out for that! Im promoting it on my live streams where the winner gets the choice of a brand new pair of RST Track Tech Evo 3 Boots in a colour of their choice or a Scuf Controller, depends if the person watches me for riding or for gaming👊👊
You done the right thing there mate, practice practice practice - even now im still spending time just on a car park buzzing in and around cones, emergency stops etc - you gotta keep your tools sharp!
I started on a 2017 zx-6r in similar fashion. But being from the U.S. those roads would have made me shit my self with out the motorcycle lol. Hope your still doing well.
yooo thanks for checking in! Yeh love that real nice bike man and was definatly an experience il always remember haha still going strong thanks! Just sold my zx6r for a new bike that il be buying in a week or 2 and hopefully get few more bikes added to the collection over the winter ready for track next year time to level up haha If you get a minute check out the brand I just launched www.fxckaverage.com and on instragram its instagram.com/fxckaverageofficial/ let me know what you think!
I have never had a sport bike. Enduros and my 2012 harley heritage softail classic. I plan to teach motorcycle safety for my retirement job. Stay safe, keep your head up and turn your head and look where you want to go. Always remind yourself to turn your head.
Man this is as real as it gets, raw no nonsense footage, lot's of respect to you for doing that. I want to start on a 600 too (GSXR) but i would of paid superbike factory to deliver the bike to me at my home lol, I've seen that dealer pop up all the time online while looking at bikes, nice to see actual footage of the place. You did well getting that bike home though, good stuff bro.
Thanks man I appreciate that👊 Didnt know what I had got myself into on this day lool yeh definatly recommend getting it delivered if you new to riding! Let me know what bike you end up getting aswell thanks for watching and dropping a comment means a lot👊👊
This video is awesome, I was giggling my arse off. So candid and relatable to everyone who has ridden bikes on the road. Nothing like hyping yourself up when you're crapping your pants hahah. Awesome stuff, really entertaining 😂 The fear but simultaneous joy is palpable! But yes, its not quite recommended for people to learn on a sport bike like that for this reason heh, the positioning is quite awkward for a new rider. Naked squad rise up 🤙
haha thank you man! Yeh im on a mt-07 right now if I was going to keep one bike i would get the mt-10! but im getting an r6 in may to keep the mt company long as everything goes to plan! thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks lol cant even watch this video back makes me feel mad nervous haha appreciate you checking the video and dropping a comment! new video dropping in a hour!
haha mad experience!! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment man i appreciate it everyone showing mad support atm without people commenting and interacting with me and the video the channel wouldnt be growing so I appreciate you man👊👊
Had my '08' ZX6-R about 10months now, it was also my 1st big bike. Your video had me laughing as it was pretty similar to my 1st ride on it.haha I've changed the downpipes (cat converter removed) and just about to get a deeptone end can fitted. Traffic get out the way right quick!! 🤣👌
I bought my suzuki gsxr 600 as my first bike ever I ve never used any motorbike before so I hope I wont die (I am a great biker tho) your video gave me courage.
Only just saw this comment it didnt pop up! Yeh nice man all I can say is be exited! haha Are you getting it tomrrow?? + thanks for watchoing and dropping a comment👊👊
4k rpm, *this is mad* Being a new ZX6R owner myself, yeah .. I agree this thing feels mad even down low when coming from nothing or in my case a GS500 and I thought that bike was fast Seeing you struggle to get it up off of the kickstand did get me worried, I had that issue on my first motorcycle and kept having it the first few days at stop lights and generally anytime I had to balance but it didn't have 127 horses and a screamer inline 4 Hope you're still riding & having fun though!
Thanks for watching and commenting man! Yeh still riding! Got rid of this bike in September and got a MT07 end of October having so much fun on it haha miss the Zx6r! Hopefully add another bike in the summer! How you finding the zx6r??? Things naughty when you hit around 9-11k!
@@TARZANMotoVlogs No worries my dude! Lots of fun seeing someone's first experience like that! Scrolled through your channel and I noticed you did get rid of it, out of curiosity: why? :) I'm lovin' mine! My GS500 failed unexpectedly and saw my 2006 ZX6R pop-up a day after; that's no luck, that's destiny! Came with an amazing MIVV exhaust, custom fairings (matt black) and Full led blinkers + HID "angel eyes" My GS got attention for being a cute café racer, this gets attention for being a monster and it being a Kawi it has monster energy decals .. everywhere lol Got some fresh tires on it last week (Pirelli Diablo Rosso 3's) and even in the winter it sticks pretty well! Need to have the brakes, discs & fluids fully replaced & serviced but on a private road in Botswana I did full-send it up to 15 500rpm and it's mad Power starts at 8k and just builds, I was on coms with my brother and he can confirm I screamed like a baby all the way to redline! His little Hyundai i20 couldn't keep up .. I wonder why x) Seating position is aggressive but as I ride motorcycles for fun & not transport I can get away with some mildly crampy wrists after a long ride Also looking at the bikes reflection while riding makes me drool, so it's all worth it :p Anywaayyys hope you get many more safe miles! If you every happen to be around Belgium/France/Germany or the Netherlands, let me know I'd love to go for spirited ride! (svenmissorten on insta ;) ) Enjoy the MT07, it's akra sounds mint btw!
Yeh mate if I am ever over them ways any time soon il be sure to post it on my socials cause I’d be looking to meet people! Haha And I made a video on why I chose the mt-07 have a look at that it should answer your question haha It would be perfect to have a super a long side this MT07! Maybe in the summer I will make that happen👊
thats my fav model i think if its the same as the 2014? thats the one i want next i cant wait! ohhhh my that was your first time on a bike! haha you nutter good work! welcome to the bike life and welcome to the family! channel name stands for 'The World is Yours'
OMG I'm following the same path last time I drove a bike was an awesome RD350, thinking how slow she is...I was only 22... now nearly 3 decades later I'm dreaming of buying my second first bike and I'm so bloody scared of those street rippers. :))
Wouldn't have recommended a supersport as a first bike. The power, the ergonomics, the weight...for a new rider it's a lot to take in, and while people do it often, the added distraction of the more difficult ride takes attention away from all the other things riders need to be watching out for. Definitely seem like a great guy, but moderate that confidence. You need it to ride, but too much can be trouble. It isn't the failure to grasp riding that gets people, it's stupid mistakes that we all know better than to make.
yeh thats a good point about not being able to fully focus on hat going on around you on the road, thanks for watching and dropping some useful knowledge bombs appreciate you checking in man👊👊
Well done on getting your first big bike... i found it quite an intense watch 😳 I've had bikes since i was 16 and im 44 now and i still hate doing slow right turns so you had me nervous when you set off. Ride safe
thats why i would recommend a smaller CC bike like a 400. Its lighter and easier to drive, the speed and acceleration is enough for the first 2 years imo and you learn a lot on these bikes, you can also make more mistakes without instantly crashing ;) think its just more fun to ride if you dont shit your pants every time you go 1/2 throttle :D Ride safe!
yeh man agree with you on this but people guna do what they want no matter what theyre told, like me lol Ive only just started messing round with the powerband lol its a different world in them rev ranges its a madness haha thanks for watching man!
@@TARZANMotoVlogs yea ofc, everyone should get what he wants :) as i wrote, its just a recommendation and personal opinion :D i know people who startet on a S1000RR without any problems. But i wanted to say that even a 400CC bike is faster than most cars on the street but you can mess around more and give it full throttle without going 100mph after 3 seconds LOL
ik this vid is a year old but thanks for uploading it! im 16 rn and I plan on buying this bike when I'm 19 (bc I heard ninjas r a little smaller so its a good choice for women) but I'm a little nervous that it'll still be too big/heavy for me bc I'm like 5'3 but ig ill find out🙈your bike is sick!!
thanks for watching and leaving a comment! yeh the zx6r does sit tall as its a super so the seat it high i recommend checking some of my recent videos out as i sold this bike and got a yamaha mt-07 which i love! lol keep me updated tho would love to know how you get on and any questions just ask!
The zx6r is not short , it is tall ! I'm 5'6.,and at the light,I have to slide off to the side.but maybe....you can make it work,and in stop n go traffic,its a bitch. I also have a softail slim-especially with le pera seat,real low.of course,if you want zx6r,don't get that.be safe !
Hahah when I look back at this it definikty wasn’t the smartest thing to do 💀 but it looks like it’s a pretty common thing lol winter, snow, rush hour, dark, recipe for a bad outcome Day I won’t forget 💯 thanks for watching 👊 thinking of getting a 636 for 2024 but riding it properly lol
This video is so good man! Just subbed so I can follow the rest of the journey. I imagine I'll have the same sort of reaction when buying my first bike
Thanks man!!! Yeh the whole journey is on the channel LOL come a longggggg way since this day… check the latest short upload 😎 also any questions just ask! Comment on a different video tho so I’m notified, TH-cam doesn’t notify for comment replies really
Thank you and yeh good work!!! Let me know which one your going for! I got a mt-07 currently but a new super is getting added to the family summer as well haha
@@TARZANMotoVlogs I want to get the ZX6R or the GSXR600 but they have to be restricted to 35kw cuz my licence doesnt allow me to ride a faster bike. If I cant find a restricted 600cc I'll have to go for the ninja 250
"ahh shit this is mad" i felt that so much - ive said that so many times when ive been totally fucking shitting my self lmfao, dude courage for that! im picking mine up next year, will have to record it hahahaha safe riding bro! 💙
Nice, be sure to get that exhaust checked out if you haven't already, that's a lot of smoke. Also, be careful with the speeding man. Allow yourself to get used to the bike a bit before going so fast. Ride safe bro!
Yeh i had the whole bike checked after i brought it to make sure its all good and it was this was in january in the cold weather so think it was just condensation thanks for watching man i appreciate you watching and commenting
Wow what a sick video. Just booked my test and going straight for a 600 like yours... absolutely 💯 shitting my pants but can not wait either. Do you have any regrets looking back at jumping straight on a 600???
Thank you man 👊 yes and no, No because i enjoyed it and it also made me want to come away from supers to learn more And yes because of where I’m at now and I wish I started with a grom stunt build hahaha but if I had to go back and choose at that stage of my life I would’ve started on a MT07 as I would’ve learned more and faster
@TARZAN MotoVlogs OK thanks a lot for opinion and update... Iv done a lot of thinking and still gonna go for a super.. but definitely going with the ninja rather than a r6. Hopefully maybe run into you at some point in my bikelife
@@chrishatton865 go for it man! if i was to get a super rn id definitly get a 13 - current 636! If i had the choice of any super i would get the s1k just because of the reviews of comfort and street riding feel haha one dya il be back on one, and yeh man i hope so too
@@TARZANMotoVlogs thanks man. That’s from experience. I’ve seen too many cars pull out of side streets in front of bikes. That’s proof. I think all bikers should sound their horn when approaching vehicles stopped at adjoining side roads. To alert the driver of your presence. Less accidents would occur. Stay safe man!
@@Robert-cg4fp yeh theres only so much that can be done just ride defensive, il give a little rev or two if i reel like someone hasnt seen me when i ride street, better to be safe than sorry just couple blips and good to go dont need to rev bomb them hahaha
@@dereksmith5551 yeh this bike is not for beginners and after years of experience i wouldnt reccomend it to anyone as it really limits your learning while also creating more oppertunity for something to go wrong, but cant it be done... yes haha but by far not the smartest choice

Yeh I’m currently on a mt-07 and personally I’d take the mt-09 but it’s all personal preference and depends what your guna be using it for ESPECIALLY if it’s the 2017+ model woooo they’re too nice! Haha Keep in touch man tell me what you go for

Sh*t. Thats like me when I hop on zx6r. Almost sh*t in my pant. Anyhows, am not brave as you to go out to public road. Still learning to manage this beast in neighbourhood. 😅
Haha this was a funny day! The beginning of it all… check the latest videos to see where I am now in my journey👊 My advice is keep the exactly mind set you got, just build confidence but always keep a beginners mind and keep learning! Any questions just ask il do my best to help 🚀
thanks for checking the videoman and im not sure how it works when your under the age of 24... think you just have to have it restricted, I done my direct access when it turned 24 that how i got mine Have a look into it and keep me updatd man, if you get riding soon then come to the link up in London if you can
👊👊 haha still going strong just got a MT 07 for winter R6 coming in Feb check the latest vids just waiting for new mic to come through aswell cause other broke Thanks for checking the channel
Hey! So I'm pretty much dead set on making the zx6r my first bike. I'm a bigger dude so this bike fits me well. How long did it take you to get used to its power and handling?
KewlJewlz yo thanks for checking in! Yeh I wouldn’t have chose any other bike your like it man, and the power takes a bit of getting used to... when you feel what it’s like in the powerband you will see how dangerous it really can be if you don’t respect the bike. Even now over a year later it surprises me how much power it has its more than enough for the street, but for my first 2 months I didn’t go over 7k revs, anywhere below that it’s kind of sluggish but there’s still some pull, I would just shift early more time I’d be around 4/5k revs. The handling on the bike is good it felt natural to just counter steer and lean it over a bit but never pushing it. The hardest thing was the slow manoeuvres cause there is no ROM in the steering, so I practiced that a lot in car parks and also dragging the rear brake on the slow manoeuvres like U turns helps a lot. I’m still active and uploading so check out some of the recent videos you like the sound of, you will see how I’m riding atm
Wat about getting a yamaha r7 to begin with?? Been advised to start with that. And I want a superbike for the weekend at some point. So I want a sexy bike to begin with yamaha r7 or r6?? Wat u think?
r7 would be pretty cool i recon, useable power, ive never riden one but they look smart, my personal choice would be mt07 cause it feels like a chunky dirt bike, and r7 is kind of i dont know how to explain but i feel like you would get on it and expect it to perform like a race bike but instead get street bike performance, riding is all personal preference so its hard to advise you on what id reccomend haha it depends what you want out of the bike - r7 will be expesive for what it is thats the only thing but if price dont matter then send it I feel like if i wanted a super sport, i would buy one, not a naked bike in a super sport body but i really have no idea im just thinking out loud rn lol

@@ThePottingmachine bad idea but can be done, check out some of my other vids, the mt07 i got after owning this bike was the best thing i could do, would highly reccomend and naked bike, duke 790, mt07, something with accessable power where you want it on the streets and comfortable riding position to inspire confidence, sport bikes are cool but there hard work in the long run, need to wind them up and cant touch the real power unless you go track,
i would only reccomedn super sport if its a dream bike, track bike, weekend fun or to look cool
(after riding 3 years i realised that the 'il grow into it' approach is not smart and will only slow down your learning, the more you get out of a bike means the more fun you will have
I remember when I took my baby home for the first time I was shaking when I got off, from excitement and fear. Best feeling ever!
Haha so cool knowing how many people can relate to this video, thanks for watching 👊👊 new upload today!
“If I die then I die” I literally felt this exact same way yesterday, picked up my 2021 MT07 from a dealer 2 hours away and rode it home in the pouring rain. My last bike had about half the torque and hp
hahaha thanks for watching and leaving this comment! good work on gettting the new bike! where you from??
@@TARZANMotoVlogs I live out near Boston, Massachusetts
Great video definitely had me worried in the beginning but at least you had the confidence to get the bike in the first place especially a zx6r keep riding man wish you the best of luck
thanks man yeh i had myself worried when i first got on it haha thanks for watching and dropping a comment man appreciate it!
The next day - I see smoke coming up from the exhaust XD - took me a second to realize it was warming up in cold weather
Haha yeh it snowed that night thanks for watching👊
Love the vid.. I remember my first bike! This took me way back. Genuine and honest video mate well done and enjoy!!!
Thanks man means a lot!! 👊👊 thanks for taking the time to comment appreciate it!
Loved the video, as someone contemplating a 636 as well for a first bike was nice to see you struggling and learning as you go on those roads. Luckily I live in a sunny desert haha. Clean bike and ride safe! Cheers from across the pond in the U.S.
thank you man! Just take it easy and dont stop learning, its very easy to think oh i can ride good now but you have to keep pushing and learninig, read twist of the wrist 2 and total control by lee parks or i will never reply to your comment again HAHA
Bought my 2019 ZX6-R three weeks ago. She’s my first street machine, and I have no regrets. I’ve ridden dirt bikes my whole life (sometimes on paved highway) so I know how to handle a bike, but talk bout MAD! I love it. It’s a proper bike to learn on, but it’s stupid fast for a first bike. I’ll never get rid of her!
Enjoy Mate!!!
Be careful on those wet roads though!
oiiiiiiii that must be naughty! 19 model yeh you must be loving it lol yeh man too fast I only really just starteed fucking around with the power bad recently and its a madness lol and yeh trust me I am now, flew off it couple months back in the wet lol was a learning curve that one thanks for watching man... Doing a subscriber meet up for 1k subs with all my ogs who been supportive stay active and were link up!
These new rider videos are refreshing,i think maybe u guys are having the most fun.a surfing phrase comes to mind,the best surfer is the one with the biggest grin on his face !
WHAT A GREAT COMMENT! HAHA THANKS FOR LEAVING THIS!! WELCOME TO THE CHANNEL!
You've got bigger balls than me, my friend, I passed my A2 about three months ago and picked up my first bike the week after I passed. Nothing but respect for you jumping on such a powerful machine as a new rider. I ended up buying the Royal Enfield Meteor 350. I'm not a speed demon and am happy crusing along, taking in the views. Either way, mad respect brother, stay safe 🙏
Haha 💀 bravery and stupidity fall close together lol but yeh this is a day I won’t forget ever I don’t think haha I still remember this day very clearly
Thanks for watching man and yeh same way I’m not a speed demon either I found that out after owning this bike, I ended up going to a mt07, then a 701, then a Crf450r sm then to another 07 haha
Right now I’m out in Brazil on a cg160 💀 currently looking at another MT07 🇧🇷 haha I love the 07s
That 350 will allow you to learn way more at a faster rate, and you will be able to use all of the bike,
This 600 I couldn’t even scratch the surface, it leaves it a frustrating ride cause you have to do 60+ for the bike to even wake up then you got to slow down cause police, traffic etc feel unsafe doing 70+ on street
The 07 and the 701 allow me to get way more out of the bike it’s so much more usable in a lot more situations which makes it so much more fun to ride
The MT07 is near half the price of the 07 and easier to live with which is why it’s one of my favourite bikes
I would love to get to a f850gs or something next year tho try out the adventure bikes
@TARZANMotoVlogs totally get you, bro. I've never been into the sports bikes myself. I enjoy watching BSB a fair bit, but that's it. The RE meteor 350 has been a great way to build my confidence. It's also great for commuting and Sunday riding to a nice country pub with my mrs on the back. I'm gonna keep it for a fair few more years, then I'll probably upgrade and get the RE Meteor 650. It's a heavier, more powerful machine and better for touring. I'm a bit of a Royal Enfield nut if you haven't noticed 😂. If you want to get into the adventure style of bikes, I can highly recommend the Royal Enfield Himelayan 450. My best mate rides one, and I've ridden it a few times it's a fantastic machine. Me and him are planning to do the NC500 in Scotland this summer using our bikes.
This is an excellent video, I really felt nervous for you to be honest, as if it was my own bike. Very immersive for the first time collecting your bike. Ride safe. You have a new subscriber.
Thank you 👊 check the latest uploads I put up a new video today, welcome to the channel!
This is honestly my dream bike and I come back to your channel at least once a month to watch your zx6r videos 😂😂😂
Haha one day il get back on sport bikes and ride them properly
Loved to watch this "If I die then I die" That was hilarious but true. Ride and live it's the best feeling.
Haha thank you man! Doing a lot better now on my mt-07 and hopefully adding a r6 to the family aswell in a month or two so be able to bring some good content switching between bikes etc thanks for leaving a comment👊👊
Signal finally letting me watch the whole vid, I like how you were scared af and like a little bit later your like "this is fukin sick!"
yeh man was so scary was such a f**k it momoent pulling away from the bike shop haha I remember this day so well lol thanks for commenting👊
So funny 🤣. That was exactly how I felt about six weeks ago. Not nearly as scary for me since I bought a Ninja 400. I will hopefully move up to the ZX-6R when I build up my riding skills. Good luck, ride safe 👍
haha good to know people can relate haha yeh probably a bit more of a sensible choice there these are very aggressive foot pegs are high and seat and the handle bars are low so its very unatural! thanks for watching!!
For your first time riding the bike I must say you did pretty good man good luck and wish you the best with you’re new baby lol that highway pull at the end remainded me of when I first started riding. Just be careful and don’t get too confident on the bike to quickly because you’ll end up in a situation that you have no idea how to get out of. Be safe bro
Thanks man listen I appreciate you watching and commenting it means a lot and yehhhh man never felt nothing like it lol had to dare myself but yeh you right you gotta be careful on these things I wouldnt recommend them to anyone who doesnt have good self control
Very raw video man loved it! Reminds me of my first ride with my ninja 250 couple of days after my test, I was stuck at some lights trying to take off in second hahaha 😅 (many years ago now) I'm Picking up my zx6r tomorrow have a 400km ride home with it should give me some one on one time with bike. Keep up with videos and ride safe TWO WHEELS ONE LOVE!!
thanks man fully appreciate you taking time to comment 👊👊 yeh jokes haha you should be exited lol your in for a different experience to that 250 when that powerband kicks in its like you enter a different dimension lool yeh stay safe man and will do!
1k views! Thanks for watching everyone
Credit to you man, It takes a lot of courage to do what you did. Thanks for posting your first ride; only some people will post their first ride on a new bike. I am nervous because ill be picking up a new bike next month. Undecided if I want to go with a 600cc.
thank you, with what I know now I will always advise against starting on a 600 haha you literally miss out on so much learning / fun
Be better to start on something more practical, useable power like a parallel twin, comfy so can ride all day get triple the seat time and learn 3x faster, then you will find out what style of riding you like / want to push for and can take your next step from there...
Sport bikes are very good and fun, but the most fun you will get out of riding will be down to how much you can get out of the bike your ride
Let me know how you get on!
I want to start on a 600 and I'm shitting it watching this man. Quality raw footage. 🙏🏼
Haha good luck! Take your time 👊 check the latest videos, come a long way - hopefully helps you feel more confident
“Right, let’s go for a nice slow cruise then” cuts to gunning 120mph on the motorway 😂 class vid mate
haha i remembeer every second of this day!
Great vlog mate, takes me back a long long time ago. Great first big bike man. Ride safe from a fellow motovlogger
Thank you 👊 good times haha thinking of getting a 17 636 for 2024 around March time get back on a sport bike it’s been a while lol good luck with the vlogs 👊👊
@TARZANMotoVlogs thank you mate you too and ride safe 👍
Lol doing the same thing today bought a Kawasaki ZX-6R as my first bike wish me luck
GOOD LUCK MAN! Take it easy your be good! Any questions just ask
Amazing to see so many concerned for your safety...safe miles from india..big congrats.
thanks for watching and dropping a comment! appreciate the support man
I love the genuine excitement of the first ride. Cant wait to experirence it first hand
thanks for watching man yeh let me know how it goes! What bike you getting?
@@TARZANMotoVlogs 05-09 GSXR 600. Something old just in case i drop it. But i have to get all my own gear and go through the course again so it may be a while before im riding
This is 😂😂😂. I watched your last 3 videos on the crf and another crf one. Then came back to see where it all began. Awesome stuff. 😎👍🏼
Hahah came a longgggg way 👊 thanks man!
@Not bad! Good choice on the chosen bike as well. As I watched your video, it brought me back to my first purchase and that ride home.
My stomach was in a knot when you pulled away and my pulse was rising knowing the feeling you were experiencing are intense and intimidating. At the same time, hoping your maiden voyage was a safe one. Played it safe... well, for a moment it seemed! Hahaha good show cracking that throttle open. These bikes like to breathe. Hope all is well and thanks for uploading that video. Really enjoyed it. Take care and WHAT UP from California! Late!
you explained the way i felt better than i could explain haha you definatly talk from experience! its good to hear everyones first stories on here haha yeh you know had to see what it was really like! and yehhh out there in Cali! mad! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment man means a lot👊👊
Haha gpod stuff bro. You have balls. Well done. I remember picking up my first bike after never riding before and taking it straight down the freeway in peak hour. I shat myself!
thanks man i appreciate you dropping a comment and watching the video👊 haha yehhh mad experience I can relate!!
I’m glad I learn at the age of 12 on a full size bike weighing probably 3x my own weight. I didn’t have to worry about cars and traffic while learning in field. Seriously my brother explained the friction point of the clutch and from there I was off and going. The up shifts and down shifts weren’t hard compared to taking off the first few times. By the way you got exact year and model as my present ride, triple black and all.
Here in the states I began driving a car at 15. Unlike my oldest brother who always had a book in his face, I at least watched as my parents drove observing street names and signage. He on the other hand was completely lost and had to have everything mapped out for him, street by street, turn by turn. Some of us are born ready to drive and ride. 😎
good comment man thank you and yeh exactly were born for this haha check the latest content its a bit different but im still active! i live for this bike life
I laughed watching this while smoking a spliff today. Been looking to buy a ninja 650 or 636 as a returning rider. When he said - this is fucking sick 🤣🤣🤣
haha! check the latest content to see where were at these days... LOL just waiting for the warm weather! I love the 636 and have plans to get one in the future for stock stunt bike, but the 650 will be a lot better welcome back to bikes get you comfier much faster as you probably already know or maybe check out the mt09 or something, check my aprilla tuono 660 factory review, BEST street bike i have ever ridden hands down its such a perfect bike
Sport bikes are all leaning during turns. Totally different then my cruisers. The sport bike is so much fun, im so hooked. Im 43yr old. There is nothing more exhilarating then cracking open a inline 4!! The high revs and speed makes me smile ear to ear just thing about it!
Yeh its defiantly one of the best things I've ever done I can't stay off of it lol Yeh nothing I've ever done compares to the feeling, that inks for watching man and thanks for taking time to drop a comment I appreciate it!
Funnily enough, sports bikes are best in straight lines, supermotos are king in the corners.
@@PantsuGod thanks for watching appreciate you getting involved!! 1 day I will own a supermoto!! Enduro is next on the list tho haha
Hell yeah man ! Ima feel the same way next couple weeks 😂
hahah yeh good for you man you will have such a good day! thanks for watching and taking time to comment👊 it means a lot!
after watching this, I may start on a 400. Thank for video/honesty Bro
Thanks for watching man! Any questions just ask! Rememebr this day like it was yday haha check my latest videos I’m on a MT07 right now such good fun would’ve been a much better option than this for a first bike haha👊
Damn SON! Felt like you were going to drop it any minute! Good holding on, haha.
haha thanks man I felt the same when I was riding it lol I appreciate you checking the video and dropping a comment! New videos every Monday and Friday atm
I’m in this exact position with the exact same thoughts of dying, realest shit I’ve ever watched 😂
haha a day you won't forget
This video took so much confidence, for real...
Not that he has any riding defense, but he took his time, and didn't ride like an asshole. Enjoy your new lifestyle man!
I appreciate that man nothin but the truth on this channel! Thanks for taking the time to comment it means a lot, and yeh been riding for l7/8 months now and loved every bit of it... even falling off was a good experience lool Im doing a giveaway atm for when I reach 1000 subs so look out for that! Im promoting it on my live streams where the winner gets the choice of a brand new pair of RST Track Tech Evo 3 Boots in a colour of their choice or a Scuf Controller, depends if the person watches me for riding or for gaming👊👊
You done the right thing there mate, practice practice practice - even now im still spending time just on a car park buzzing in and around cones, emergency stops etc - you gotta keep your tools sharp!
Thanks man yeh took a lot of getting used to but learnt a lot faster than I thought 👊 buzzin for this new bike I’m about to get!
When Tarzan said " This is f*ckin sick"...
I felt that
Haha where it all started!!!🔥
I started on a 2017 zx-6r in similar fashion. But being from the U.S. those roads would have made me shit my self with out the motorcycle lol. Hope your still doing well.
yooo thanks for checking in! Yeh love that real nice bike man and was definatly an experience il always remember haha still going strong thanks! Just sold my zx6r for a new bike that il be buying in a week or 2 and hopefully get few more bikes added to the collection over the winter ready for track next year time to level up haha
If you get a minute check out the brand I just launched www.fxckaverage.com
and on instragram its instagram.com/fxckaverageofficial/

Im just gonna say that im traumatized after witnessing that shifting XD
haha this video makes me nervous when I watch it back!! lol thanks for watching and commenting man👊
Lol this video's adorable 🤣🤣👍🏾
haha thanks
I came here from your year later video and the difference is mad I can’t wait to get my 600
Thanks for watching 👊 take it easy and enjoy the ride 💯
Just passed my DAS 2 weeks ago and pick up my cbr600rr next week. I have to ride it home like this and im feeling the same way 😂 cool video
Yesssssss it will be a day you won’t forget! Haha just take it easy no rush you will be fine 👊 let me know how it goesb
Goes*
I have never had a sport bike. Enduros and my 2012 harley heritage softail classic. I plan to teach motorcycle safety for my retirement job. Stay safe, keep your head up and turn your head and look where you want to go. Always remind yourself to turn your head.
yeh man if you want to do it then do it that will be a real good thing to do, i appreciate you watching and commenting and thanks for the tips
@@TARZANMotoVlogs keep the rubber side down.
Hahah this was mad to watch!
Brave guy 😆
haha thank you! what a day, the beginning of it all
Man this is as real as it gets, raw no nonsense footage, lot's of respect to you for doing that. I want to start on a 600 too (GSXR) but i would of paid superbike factory to deliver the bike to me at my home lol, I've seen that dealer pop up all the time online while looking at bikes, nice to see actual footage of the place. You did well getting that bike home though, good stuff bro.
Thanks man I appreciate that👊 Didnt know what I had got myself into on this day lool yeh definatly recommend getting it delivered if you new to riding! Let me know what bike you end up getting aswell thanks for watching and dropping a comment means a lot👊👊
This video is awesome, I was giggling my arse off. So candid and relatable to everyone who has ridden bikes on the road. Nothing like hyping yourself up when you're crapping your pants hahah. Awesome stuff, really entertaining 😂 The fear but simultaneous joy is palpable! But yes, its not quite recommended for people to learn on a sport bike like that for this reason heh, the positioning is quite awkward for a new rider. Naked squad rise up 🤙
haha thank you man! Yeh im on a mt-07 right now if I was going to keep one bike i would get the mt-10! but im getting an r6 in may to keep the mt company long as everything goes to plan! thanks for watching and commenting!
@@TARZANMotoVlogs no worries brother, ride safe!
How wet were your gloves from the sweat off your palms? This is going to be me soon and I shat myself watching the video.
mateeeee haha good luck! just have confidence in your own ability your be fine man 👊 thanks for watching and commenting
Wow man starting with a zx6r... You got balls, respect.
Thanks lol cant even watch this video back makes me feel mad nervous haha appreciate you checking the video and dropping a comment! new video dropping in a hour!
Not going to lie, your doing really fucking good for a beginner.
thanks man really appreciate that thanks for watching!!
I was exactly the same when I got my 1st sports bike. Great video
haha mad experience!! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment man i appreciate it everyone showing mad support atm without people commenting and interacting with me and the video the channel wouldnt be growing so I appreciate you man👊👊
Had my '08' ZX6-R about 10months now, it was also my 1st big bike. Your video had me laughing as it was pretty similar to my 1st ride on it.haha I've changed the downpipes (cat converter removed) and just about to get a deeptone end can fitted. Traffic get out the way right quick!! 🤣👌
Yeh I bet that sounds crazy haha
I bought my suzuki gsxr 600 as my first bike ever I ve never used any motorbike before so I hope I wont die
(I am a great biker tho) your video gave me courage.
nice man im happy for you thanks for watching the video!
2:27 that shit was funny haha
hahah i was a NOOOOOB
Zx6r 2009 is my first big bike after riding 125s. Pick it up next Friday
Only just saw this comment it didnt pop up! Yeh nice man all I can say is be exited! haha Are you getting it tomrrow?? + thanks for watchoing and dropping a comment👊👊
4k rpm, *this is mad*
Being a new ZX6R owner myself, yeah .. I agree this thing feels mad even down low when coming from nothing or in my case a GS500 and I thought that bike was fast
Seeing you struggle to get it up off of the kickstand did get me worried, I had that issue on my first motorcycle and kept having it the first few days at stop lights and generally anytime I had to balance but it didn't have 127 horses and a screamer inline 4
Hope you're still riding & having fun though!
Thanks for watching and commenting man! Yeh still riding! Got rid of this bike in September and got a MT07 end of October having so much fun on it haha miss the Zx6r! Hopefully add another bike in the summer! How you finding the zx6r??? Things naughty when you hit around 9-11k!
@@TARZANMotoVlogs No worries my dude! Lots of fun seeing someone's first experience like that!
Scrolled through your channel and I noticed you did get rid of it, out of curiosity: why? :)
I'm lovin' mine! My GS500 failed unexpectedly and saw my 2006 ZX6R pop-up a day after; that's no luck, that's destiny!
Came with an amazing MIVV exhaust, custom fairings (matt black) and Full led blinkers + HID "angel eyes"
My GS got attention for being a cute café racer, this gets attention for being a monster and it being a Kawi it has monster energy decals .. everywhere lol
Got some fresh tires on it last week (Pirelli Diablo Rosso 3's) and even in the winter it sticks pretty well!
Need to have the brakes, discs & fluids fully replaced & serviced but on a private road in Botswana I did full-send it up to 15 500rpm and it's mad
Power starts at 8k and just builds, I was on coms with my brother and he can confirm I screamed like a baby all the way to redline!
His little Hyundai i20 couldn't keep up .. I wonder why x)
Seating position is aggressive but as I ride motorcycles for fun & not transport I can get away with some mildly crampy wrists after a long ride
Also looking at the bikes reflection while riding makes me drool, so it's all worth it :p
Anywaayyys hope you get many more safe miles!
If you every happen to be around Belgium/France/Germany or the Netherlands, let me know I'd love to go for spirited ride! (svenmissorten on insta ;) )
Enjoy the MT07, it's akra sounds mint btw!
Yeh mate if I am ever over them ways any time soon il be sure to post it on my socials cause I’d be looking to meet people! Haha
And I made a video on why I chose the mt-07 have a look at that it should answer your question haha
It would be perfect to have a super a long side this MT07! Maybe in the summer I will make that happen👊
man’s drove all the way home in first gear
Hahahahah 💀
I was gonna say bro turn the bike around n take it back.....until I heard you say if I die I die....ride safe bro
Haha what a day! Check latest videos 👊 thanks for watching and commenting man
Just rode a 2013 ZX6R for first time today (first time riding a motorcycle as well😬) and this is the most relatable fucking content
thats my fav model i think if its the same as the 2014? thats the one i want next i cant wait! ohhhh my that was your first time on a bike! haha you nutter good work! welcome to the bike life and welcome to the family! channel name stands for 'The World is Yours'
OMG I'm following the same path last time I drove a bike was an awesome RD350, thinking how slow she is...I was only 22... now nearly 3 decades later I'm dreaming of buying my second first bike and I'm so bloody scared of those street rippers. :))
do itttttt!!!!! HAHA thanks for watching and commenting man let me know how you get on!!
Look where you are now mate! 🔥🔥🔥
Came a longgggg way from this day hahah
My advice, make sure your confident squeezing that front brake before you start twisting that throttle. Enjoy 😈
good advice thanks man been like 7/8 weeks now and loving it thanks for watching
@DVJFan haha if that was the plan it still hasn't work were doing all good! lol thanks for watching man
TWisY you acted just like me when I bought an R6😂 hope you’re still alive
Wouldn't have recommended a supersport as a first bike. The power, the ergonomics, the weight...for a new rider it's a lot to take in, and while people do it often, the added distraction of the more difficult ride takes attention away from all the other things riders need to be watching out for.
Definitely seem like a great guy, but moderate that confidence. You need it to ride, but too much can be trouble.
It isn't the failure to grasp riding that gets people, it's stupid mistakes that we all know better than to make.
yeh thats a good point about not being able to fully focus on hat going on around you on the road, thanks for watching and dropping some useful knowledge bombs appreciate you checking in man👊👊
Well done on getting your first big bike... i found it quite an intense watch 😳 I've had bikes since i was 16 and im 44 now and i still hate doing slow right turns so you had me nervous when you set off. Ride safe
Thanks man and thanks for watching wait till you see the next bike video i upload will be up by monday lol
thats why i would recommend a smaller CC bike like a 400. Its lighter and easier to drive, the speed and acceleration is enough for the first 2 years imo and you learn a lot on these bikes, you can also make more mistakes without instantly crashing ;) think its just more fun to ride if you dont shit your pants every time you go 1/2 throttle :D
Ride safe!
yeh man agree with you on this but people guna do what they want no matter what theyre told, like me lol Ive only just started messing round with the powerband lol its a different world in them rev ranges its a madness haha thanks for watching man!
@@TARZANMotoVlogs yea ofc, everyone should get what he wants :) as i wrote, its just a recommendation and personal opinion :D i know people who startet on a S1000RR without any problems. But i wanted to say that even a 400CC bike is faster than most cars on the street but you can mess around more and give it full throttle without going 100mph after 3 seconds LOL
ik this vid is a year old but thanks for uploading it! im 16 rn and I plan on buying this bike when I'm 19 (bc I heard ninjas r a little smaller so its a good choice for women) but I'm a little nervous that it'll still be too big/heavy for me bc I'm like 5'3 but ig ill find out🙈your bike is sick!!
thanks for watching and leaving a comment! yeh the zx6r does sit tall as its a super so the seat it high i recommend checking some of my recent videos out as i sold this bike and got a yamaha mt-07 which i love! lol keep me updated tho would love to know how you get on and any questions just ask!
The zx6r is not short , it is tall ! I'm 5'6.,and at the light,I have to slide off to the side.but maybe....you can make it work,and in stop n go traffic,its a bitch. I also have a softail slim-especially with le pera seat,real low.of course,if you want zx6r,don't get that.be safe !
Wow you’re brave buying that during snow season. Were your wrists killing on that first ride?
haha i was finished when i was back from this ride! had to go straight to work as well!
I was worried for you bro,we've all been there lol
Hahah when I look back at this it definikty wasn’t the smartest thing to do 💀 but it looks like it’s a pretty common thing lol winter, snow, rush hour, dark, recipe for a bad outcome
Day I won’t forget 💯 thanks for watching 👊 thinking of getting a 636 for 2024 but riding it properly lol
hahahhaa bro this is one of the best videos of a reaction. Reminds me of when i rented a scooter in india and thought i was done with life
Hah thanks man come a long way since then still a long way to go! So exited for the warm weather this year👊 thanks for watching and commenting 👊👊
This video is so good man! Just subbed so I can follow the rest of the journey. I imagine I'll have the same sort of reaction when buying my first bike
Thanks man!!! Yeh the whole journey is on the channel LOL come a longggggg way since this day… check the latest short upload 😎 also any questions just ask! Comment on a different video tho so I’m notified, TH-cam doesn’t notify for comment replies really
Support for you my man! Im about to get myself on a supersport this summer too. Wish me luck!
Thank you and yeh good work!!! Let me know which one your going for!
I got a mt-07 currently but a new super is getting added to the family summer as well haha
@@TARZANMotoVlogs I want to get the ZX6R or the GSXR600 but they have to be restricted to 35kw cuz my licence doesnt allow me to ride a faster bike. If I cant find a restricted 600cc I'll have to go for the ninja 250
"ahh shit this is mad" i felt that so much - ive said that so many times when ive been totally fucking shitting my self lmfao, dude courage for that! im picking mine up next year, will have to record it hahahaha safe riding bro! 💙
thanks man! yeh was a day i wont forget hahah check the latest videos still uploading and new one tonight and definitly film your ride!
Nice, be sure to get that exhaust checked out if you haven't already, that's a lot of smoke. Also, be careful with the speeding man. Allow yourself to get used to the bike a bit before going so fast. Ride safe bro!
Yeh i had the whole bike checked after i brought it to make sure its all good and it was this was in january in the cold weather so think it was just condensation thanks for watching man i appreciate you watching and commenting
TWisY for sure man. Just want to make sure we all enjoy ourselves but also stay safe. Take care!
Wow what a sick video. Just booked my test and going straight for a 600 like yours... absolutely 💯 shitting my pants but can not wait either. Do you have any regrets looking back at jumping straight on a 600???
Thank you man 👊 yes and no,
No because i enjoyed it and it also made me want to come away from supers to learn more
And yes because of where I’m at now and I wish I started with a grom stunt build hahaha but if I had to go back and choose at that stage of my life I would’ve started on a MT07 as I would’ve learned more and faster
@TARZAN MotoVlogs OK thanks a lot for opinion and update...
Iv done a lot of thinking and still gonna go for a super.. but definitely going with the ninja rather than a r6.
Hopefully maybe run into you at some point in my bikelife
@@chrishatton865 go for it man! if i was to get a super rn id definitly get a 13 - current 636! If i had the choice of any super i would get the s1k just because of the reviews of comfort and street riding feel haha one dya il be back on one, and yeh man i hope so too
A tip for all bike beginners ~ Always assume every vehicle may pull out in front of you and you will be safer.
Good tip 👊
@@TARZANMotoVlogs thanks man. That’s from experience. I’ve seen too many cars pull out of side streets in front of bikes. That’s proof. I think all bikers should sound their horn when approaching vehicles stopped at adjoining side roads. To alert the driver of your presence. Less accidents would occur. Stay safe man!
@@Robert-cg4fp yeh theres only so much that can be done just ride defensive, il give a little rev or two if i reel like someone hasnt seen me when i ride street, better to be safe than sorry just couple blips and good to go dont need to rev bomb them hahaha
@@TARZANMotoVlogs You are spot on with defensive driving technique. It's the only way to avoid all accidents. Have a great day mate, cheers.
This is going to be me in a couple months after upgrading from a 150cc 😂
haha it was a good day past all of the struggle lol i still rmember this day like it was yday, good luck with yours take it easy
You’ve come along way bro💯

@@TARZANMotoVlogs watched it time ago bro thought I’d throw it back😉
We’ve all been there my friend!!!
This was the beginning of it all haha 👊
@@TARZANMotoVlogs And the great thing about it you’re being brutally honest anyone else would say oh l I jumped on that bike it was nothing lol
@@dereksmith5551 yeh this bike is not for beginners and after years of experience i wouldnt reccomend it to anyone as it really limits your learning while also creating more oppertunity for something to go wrong, but cant it be done... yes haha but by far not the smartest choice
lol - Just like me 36 yrs ago. Great video!
Haha thank you! Check the latest videos we’re still going!
Just got mine today... Shitting a brick lol so different
haha yeh sweet where you from? better to be scared of it and drive careful than get on it like a mad man with no control lol about to drop a vid tomrrow that i filmed exactly a week later check it out might make you a bit more confident with it
@@TARZANMotoVlogs live in London bro. I'll have to behave myself on this thing! I'll watch out for your vid..
@@tu5149 yeh im in london most weekends east maybe link up in the summer for a vid or sumin man when got few more viewrs and experience riding lol

@@TARZANMotoVlogs for sure kinda looking at a MT 09 now lol gonna sit on them and pick one tomorrow
Yeh I’m currently on a mt-07 and personally I’d take the mt-09 but it’s all personal preference and depends what your guna be using it for
ESPECIALLY if it’s the 2017+ model woooo they’re too nice! Haha
Keep in touch man tell me what you go for
@@TARZANMotoVlogs well walked in sat on the mt-07 it felt really nice I liked it then I sat on a 2020 gsx r600 and yea I’m in the poor house now lmao the gsx was just way to cool to pass up
This was so funny bro
Haha il never forget this day!! Thanks for watching
Absolutely Great video
Thanks 👊
That looks sick bro
thanks man appretiate you watching next one coming is my take on starting on 600 supersport from my experience and some better riding + mics coming on the 19th so will have good audio and a lot more videos covering gym topics and some random vlogs if you interested in that stuff keep a eye out
Don’t y’all have the laws that make it so you can’t buy a big bike for your first bike?
CJR yeh but if your 24 or older you can do a direct access which is a CBT on a 125 then Mod 1&2 training and tests on a 650 then you can ride any bike you want, it’s basically like an intensive driving course... thanks for watching and commenting man I’m still active dropping 4 videos a week!
TWisY ok, that’s interesting, that explains why you knew how to counter steer as well 😂
@@NoHope_ haha yeh not very well tho lol!
@@TARZANMotoVlogs first time taking a bike out on the street, i didnt know that was a thing (it was a little like 60cc scooter thing that looked like a mini sport bike, it was weird) i was maxed at 30 mph went to swerve a pot hole and i went the opposite way, scared the absolute shit out of me.
@@NoHope_ yeh counter steering used to throw me off when I would think about it I just had to let it happen naturally at first cause I would over think and was scared if i needed to go right and turned the bars left i would go left lol thanks for interacting with the channel so much I appreciate you welcome to the family
Huge respect man! First ride on a strange bike in such shit weather so soon after your das 👊🏻
thanks man and yeh was hard work! lol had no idea what I was in for haha
Gotta say I’m very envious, I’ve watched most of your vids now and love em, actually you have given me the shove I needed to dip my toe into the two wheeled world👌🏻, I’m only going for the cbt first though and spend a year on a 125 to see if I like it, I’m going for a new lexmoto LXR 125. Thanks for the shove and the first class honest videos👊🏻 stay safe man.
@@adfro76 Thanks man means a lot and yeh your are doing it with the best approach you could, you sound cool! keep me posted any questions you got just ask my instagram link is in description on my latest videos
Congrats on the bike man! I'm amazed at how horrible were the conditions for your first steps as a rider, England it's definitely not the best place to ride
yes! thanks man i love it except its in the shop atm cause i crashed it the other day hahah having mad withdrawal symptoms feel like i need to be checked into motorbike rehab or sumin lol should be ready today for me to collect tho but thanks for watching and dropping a comment means a lot 👊👊
TWisY Jesus what happened? Did you get hurt?
@@lukeskywalker6985 it was like 12:30 am and it had been raining, opened the throttle going round a roundabout in gear two a bit to soon and as i was crossing over a white line and that was that haha didnt get hurt at all got up rode it home got it fixed up quick lol
th-cam.com/video/HqT2B8zzXAk/w-d-xo.html
thats the video of me explaining what happened
appreciate your comments and your concern! thanks for watching
TWisY oh it’s a pity but fortunately nothing bad happened to you. Didn’t traction control work?
TWisY ok i’ll watch it!
Sh*t. Thats like me when I hop on zx6r. Almost sh*t in my pant. Anyhows, am not brave as you to go out to public road. Still learning to manage this beast in neighbourhood. 😅
Haha this was a funny day! The beginning of it all… check the latest videos to see where I am now in my journey👊
My advice is keep the exactly mind set you got, just build confidence but always keep a beginners mind and keep learning! Any questions just ask il do my best to help 🚀
Man I can feel your nervousness. Damn, that was scary as hell.
haha I get nervous watching this myself lol thanks for watching and commenting!
How old do you have to be to get a ZX6r cuz I really want one when I am 19 but can it not be ristriked to a A2 licence
thanks for checking the videoman and im not sure how it works when your under the age of 24... think you just have to have it restricted, I done my direct access when it turned 24 that how i got mine
Have a look into it and keep me updatd man, if you get riding soon then come to the link up in London if you can
@@TARZANMotoVlogs bro where abouts in London did you buy this bike, if in London at all?
@@billmurray7721 I got it from super bike factory near Manchester
This video is gassing me up I can’t wait till this is me 😎
Haha good times 💀 your be making that sketchy ride home soon enough lol think I might have to bring a new 636 to the channel…
@@TARZANMotoVlogs Sooooon 🤣⌛️, yeah bro we need that for sure !!!
I'm going to do my DAS in September can't wait to get a bike
Good work man! Let me know how it all goes good luck!!!
TWisY helped me buy my ZX6R ❤ Thx!!!
thanks man! good work!
20 mph, this is mad. LoL
ThIs WaS MaD HAHA
Just came across your youtube channel. I'm thinking of getting Kawasaki ZX6R 2010 in black color. Do you think it's a nice bike?
thanks for watching! i like the 2013+ zx6rs the best! but its all personal preference
You’re a G for this tbf
👊👊 haha still going strong just got a MT 07 for winter R6 coming in Feb check the latest vids just waiting for new mic to come through aswell cause other broke
Thanks for checking the channel
Hey! So I'm pretty much dead set on making the zx6r my first bike. I'm a bigger dude so this bike fits me well. How long did it take you to get used to its power and handling?
KewlJewlz yo thanks for checking in! Yeh I wouldn’t have chose any other bike your like it man, and the power takes a bit of getting used to... when you feel what it’s like in the powerband you will see how dangerous it really can be if you don’t respect the bike. Even now over a year later it surprises me how much power it has its more than enough for the street, but for my first 2 months I didn’t go over 7k revs, anywhere below that it’s kind of sluggish but there’s still some pull, I would just shift early more time I’d be around 4/5k revs. The handling on the bike is good it felt natural to just counter steer and lean it over a bit but never pushing it. The hardest thing was the slow manoeuvres cause there is no ROM in the steering, so I practiced that a lot in car parks and also dragging the rear brake on the slow manoeuvres like U turns helps a lot. I’m still active and uploading so check out some of the recent videos you like the sound of, you will see how I’m riding atm
@@TARZANMotoVlogs lol my comment didn't age well
@@KJcinemas hahaha!!
Wat about getting a yamaha r7 to begin with?? Been advised to start with that. And I want a superbike for the weekend at some point. So I want a sexy bike to begin with yamaha r7 or r6?? Wat u think?
r7 would be pretty cool i recon, useable power, ive never riden one but they look smart, my personal choice would be mt07 cause it feels like a chunky dirt bike, and r7 is kind of i dont know how to explain but i feel like you would get on it and expect it to perform like a race bike but instead get street bike performance, riding is all personal preference so its hard to advise you on what id reccomend haha it depends what you want out of the bike - r7 will be expesive for what it is thats the only thing but if price dont matter then send it
I feel like if i wanted a super sport, i would buy one, not a naked bike in a super sport body but i really have no idea im just thinking out loud rn lol
