Someone told me. If you're not scared of your bike you will become complacent. Complacency will kill you. Most solid advice I've heard
yes actually true. couldnt have said it better myself.
Why in the world would u be scared of your bike? Smh
@@slimfit767to respect that it will send you to the stairway to heaven, if you do not take it serious
@@slimfit767 because you need to humble yourself. A lot of people just full throttle everywhere without a care in the world. They are just different breads. U can ride safe simply by going fast at the right time and right place not just every time you get on it lmao
That is dumb, when you know and respect the power you are safest. That and yrs of experience riding. Been riding 40 plus yrs dirt then street, fear kills. Knowing your limits and not riding beyond them or even really pushing them except on track makes you safe. Best thing for newbies is track time where you can safely improve and find your limits and bikes. Streets are wrong place for pushing any limits. Unless you like dying. List to.many new riders to streets do to lack.of experience, many as new riders learning on streets not like many of us older survivors. Got skills in dirt whete it is safer. Had 8 yrs dirt bikes before the street. I reacted without even thinking on streets cause i was 100% comfortable riding before i faced traffic and cars. First panic stop or avoidance you better know what to do on instinct, no time to think just do. Good luck to all new riders be safe and live long so you can enjoy the ride.😊
I'm so proud of you! Look at you in 2nd at 50, full throttle, and shifting at 14k!!! LETS GOOOOOO!!!
bro let’s gooooooooooo!!!!!!
YEAH HE CAME A LONG WAY I REMEMBER HIM SCREAMING 1ST TIME ON FREEWAY!!!
#RESPECT
I started on my 600RR. I am terrified of this monster and respect it! Been learning way slower than I would like but I want to keep my legs
there is no such thing as learning slow. you are doing it correctly! so take your time and don’t feed into what social media shows. someone could be doing wheelies in one month of riding, doesn’t mean we all have to. keep practicing and dont forget to hit those parking lots! 🤙 you got this
is the cbr a good starting bike? looking into one of those or a zx6r. anything i should look for when purchasing?
@@julvy2521the cbr 600 looks more sexy than the zx6r 😏 so u should get whats in your budget ig but both are good bikes
What did you get? Did your instagram crush like it?
Did you know who most affected by motorcycle crashes? People returning from deployment in the military, why? Well because they go for so long off the bike when they get home they are not required to take a MSC “Moto safety course” this is sad because they give so much for this country to make it back in civilian life and sadly are so ready to get back on their bike something usually goes wrong…. I post this to bring attention and to ensure whoever is watching this video if you are a active or reservist please be careful on the road when you get back. We need you here 🙏 ride safe Yal!
oh wow i didnt know that. thank you for the info 🤙💚 i really appreciate you brining that to light
KNOWING THAR THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO TAKE THE MS COURSE ON THEY OWN!!!!
RESPECTFULLY
I know this is an old comment but I would like to point out that courses are required (at least for the Navy, I assume the other branches are the same) in order to ride on base. The Navy even provides the course for free as well as an advanced course and you have to get a refresher every few years. People do crash generally coming back from a deployment since it's just been a while.
Yo at 12:17 you turned wide because you pushed on the left handlebar (steered right) , which caused the bike to actually move to the left towards the line, just remember push LEFT to go LEFT and push RIGHT to go RIGHT except at low speeds, just wanted to let you know as a beginner myself. Ride safe man 👍
you know what i gotta work on a bit more?? my judgment when turning hahah. i still misjudge a curve sometimes and it leads to that. i appreciate the tip man!! gonna take more of these curves to practice 🤙🙏 you ride safe out there as well bro!
Is counter steering on heavy bike is same on a 125cc motorcycle?
@@lenkagamine6121 hmm that’s a good question! i think generally yes it is easier on a small bike just for the fact that it’s lighter. with a heavier bike, there’s more weight there. but i wouldn’t say it’s difficult. just need to be mindful of the weight difference
Bad counter steering. Look it up and practice till it is muscle memory. Love the bike
just for the record: counter-steering works at low speeds too (even on bicycles) you just don't notice. Veritasium has a video about the bicycles, and motojitsu has vids of going slow in a lot and counter-steering on a motorcycle
Watching this video is super enjoyable to see different perspectives, my first bike was 2007 R1. I do motocross, so riding 450cc dirtbikes for pretty much 4+ years gave me the confidence to get on a litre bike. I of course DO NOT recommend doing that because no one has the same personal experience, amazing video to give advice to any new riders.
appreciate you!! i have a question actually. how was it starting on an R1 on the road coming from motocross? ive been asking a lot of ppl and wanted to hear your thoughts since you went from dirt to a liter lol
@@MedusaMoto The dirt to road change definitely threw me off as I expected it to be relatively the same and it wasn't very similar, but what gave me so much confidence in my riding is that I had that prior experience riding powerful bikes, that my turning, handling, and just overall comfortability on the bike was above average. The power was the first thing I noticed though when stepping on the street for the first time. The position as well really threw me a curveball as going from the upright seated position to the bent over position was difficult. I've been riding street now for probably 9 months and have only dropped the bike 3 times. I think what really sets the dirt and road experience apart is the other people on the road, on the track you are with other people who know what is around them and know how to avoid you to get by, but the people on the road are either oblivious or like you said: simply don't care enough to pay attention to us. And the power difference honestly was not as severe as I was expecting, I limit myself of course but knowing I rode 450cc bikes, I knew a 600cc wouldn't satisfy me but with that being said I ride my 1k like its a 600, not using all the power (most of the time anyway) and staying safe to allow myself to enjoy the bike and its entirety. Hope this helped, I can answer any more questions you may have as well !!
@@bones1631 ooo cool! thanks for that! it’s always interesting to hear ppl’s experiences and everything you said deff makes sense. appreciate you! and deff will come back with more questions if i can think of any 🤙
Hey man just wanting to say I love the videos you are apart of the new motovloggers I never thought that I would see the OGs go away either changing the focus of their channels or retiring from TH-cam thank you for keeping the art of motovlogging going!!
ayyyy lets goooo!!! i never really planned for this channel to do as well as it’s doing tbh. ive watched a few motovloggers but never really thought about being one myself. im really shocked at how well the channel is doing and am also really really glad that everyone can be a part of this journey, of me as a beginner on a motorcycle. appreciate your support man!!! it means a lot 🤘🤙💚
Nice video bro!!!! There's a lot of truth in everything u spoke about. I went from riding alone initially to now got about 30 friends that I met & ride with. The pencil has some great straight-aways, can really get up to speed there I love it. Keep riding safe brotha.
thank you for the support as always man i f***in appreciate it truly!! and yes you meet so many ppl it’s awesome! im gna rip up those straightaways soon deff 😈🤙🤙
I started on a 2015 gsxr 750 for my first bike ride and I feel in love with it
Glad I came across this channel. I’m in the process of purchasing my first bike and it’s a ZX-6R. So excited but It’s always good to get a reality check for your reality check.
So, you’re at the dealer filling out paperwork? Weird comment.
Love the Long Island riding keep it up brother 🤟
thank you man!! appreciate that and will do 🦾🤙
From one new rider another. Keep doing what you’re doing. Love the videos. Stay up
thank you man that means a lot! what’d you start on? always love hearing other ppl’s stories. ride safe out there 🤙💪
March 2021 I started on an 2015 r3. By November I sold and got 2007 gsxr 600. I love my gsxr. Will most likely get a naked bike as my next one lol. I wouldn’t pass up on a 636 though. Those are pretty sweet
@@macballs201359 ooo i love a good gixxer. and yeah those naked bikes are so nice, im looking at some as well
Wooooooooooooo getting those numbers!!!!!! Congrats ma boooiiiiii!!!
thanks man!! it gets me hyped to see yall enjoying this journey. appreciate the support broooo 🤙💚
thanks for this man been watching you for awhile now and it really helps since I'm also gonna start on a 600 cc :>
LFGGG!!! anytime man and keep me updated on what you end up getting! i appreciate your support as always 🤙💚
I just bought a zx6r as my first bike. It’s tuned. It’s very fast. Haven’t rode it yet but I am scared shitless.
broooo you got this
This is a bit old but as long as you don't hammer it north of like 7k rpm it shouldn't be much of a handful. The one nice thing about 600s is you dont hit their peak power until like 14-15k rpm which gives a lot of wiggle room. Liter bikes you're just fucked all around 😂
That name prompts a Versace Medusa head decal on the windscreen, I dig it!
good camera, you actually talk ( without being a weirdo while doing it ) and you're starting on a 636, so yeah your gonna get a quick following. I can easily see you growing and growing in no time. i'm excited for you bro.
yooo thanks for the kind words man i really appreciate that! i actually love doing this. i wouldve never thought that it would get to where it is today. tbh i really only was expecting my family to watch and a couple of friends. im glad ya’ll enjoy it man 🙏🤙 thanks again for the support
Really great vid man!
thank you. appreciate that truly! 🫡🙏
Congratulations on almost 400 subs! Keep up the amazing content. 🔥
thank you for the support man!! ill keep pushing them videos out! 💪🤙
@@MedusaMoto np man! 💪🏻🤙🏻
I’m always STIFF AF when you post videos. Keep up the great work, brother!!
LMFAOOOOO thanks for the support man. i appreciate it truly 🤙🤙
👉 CELMAR 😳👍
Hi 👋 from Florida! It’s like 98-100 here right now. I wish it was 75 😆 Awesome vid! Love your commentary on your vids! It’s really fun to hear what your thinking and to watch your journey! I can’t wait to get my ZX6R too!! Stay safe out there bro 🏍💨
haha oh yah florida is HOTTTTT!! i was there last month and i was just constantly sweating. and thank you so much for the support it means a lot 🙏🤙 go get that 636!!! you’re not gna regret it
Bikes don't have a big enough magnetic signature to make the traffic lights change. If you roll your back tire to the line, it leaves plenty of room for a car to get close enough to trigger it. Coax them if you have to. It might surprise you how many people are hesitant to get too close at a light. We bikers can be somewhat touchy about being crowded.
As someone who grew up on dirtbikes and quads, i feel pretty confident in starting on a 600, i know it will be a huge change, more power, itll weigh a lot more but i think having that background should aid quite a bit in the feeling for a motorcycle, if any of this makes sense, but i am so ready for the scared, adrenaline and excitement from starting on a 600 pretty soon!
For a new youtuber, your editing is good man! Been watching all your vids will be cool to see your channel grow!
yoo i LOVE editing. even growing up i was editing the shit out out of every video i can get my hands on haha. and thank you for the support and kind words i appreciate you 🙏🤙
@@MedusaMoto would be a cool video to show you editing one of your videos. Would be interesting to see the hard work behind the scenes
@@ViolentTacticsNP haha trueee!! great idea. will get on that one day! im deff not an expert yet haha but i love doing it
You just got a new subscriber. I can’t get a bike right now because I’m deployed but it’s fun watching your journey and these tips help. Keep it up 👍🏽
hell yeahh! thank you for your service 🙏 it will honestly be that much better when you get your hands on the bike for the first time. can’t wait for you to start that journey! thank you for the support i really really really appreciate it 🙏🤙 stay safe and keep me updated
@@MedusaMoto appreciate bro and I’m most likely leaning towards the zx6r the more I watch
@@rhyvy8923 let’s gooo
ZX6R 😳👍♥️
Ocean Parkway, I ride it all the time, so nice especially in the morning
well u got a new sub!!! love the content hopefully soon i get to where i can ride and just record everything
thanks for the support man!! i appreciate it. and yes, ill be looking forward to your content as well 🤙💚
Love the videos bro. Keep bringing that good content. One thing to consider though is when your waking her up try and use a blur feature when you edit.
agree man. thanks for that
A green kawa?? Subscribed😆😂😂
hahaha appreciate the support 🤙🙏 and if it’s not green, is it even a kawa?? 😂😂
as someone who has rode dirtbikes like kx250fs and kx450fs. i really want a zx6r as my first bike but i know it will be learning curve.
Idk.. i give u my abo.. just because you are so happy with your bike. i like that positivity
thank you! i really appreciate the kind words and support 🙏 i absolutely love the 636 💚🤙
I just bought a 2015 zxr 636 30th anniversary. So this is the exact video I needed
hell yah! congrats that bike is 👌
@@MedusaMoto picking her up Saturday. I can’t wait!
So glad I got one as my first bike. Yeh, I was nervous about riding it. But, the difference between this and the riding school 500cc bike was like going from a 747 passenger airliner to a fighter jet. It was the thought of riding it and what might happen that scared me. It’s not scary when you get going and you control the throttle.
i got a ZX6-R 2001 and i gotta say, i absolutely love it, and like you, it scares the shit out of me
ayyy congrats!! love those 2001s
Insightful things to us new riders bro. A 600 ( especially 636) is no toy. All that power for a 405lb bike is no joke. I tell other new riders, to gear up! Dress for the fall not the ride!💯💯
yessirrrr those are some wise words to live by. lowkey that’s something i need to tell myself every time. 100 percent agree with you 🤙🤙
Mmmh, i started on a zx6r 06 636. I just had the owner drop it off at my brothers house. I payed him, and I learned how to control the throttle on neutral (i already knew standard), and I also just watched a bunch of TH-cam videos. Then I took off on a 40minute drive to my house.
@@goodafternoonworld4456 niceee haha! it’s all about getting that thing home that first day. glad everything went well tho! 🤙🤙
@@MedusaMoto 🤣 yes, pretty stupid but confidence is key
@@goodafternoonworld4456 Well not too stupid if you practiced throttle controls and other vital things. At least you made it home safe. There's a guy on TH-cam who brought a cbr1000 for his first bike, and low sided after buying it smh. Now that was stupid lol
Still waiting to get a bike plan to by end of this year. Your videos deffanitly help and inspire
thank you man for the kind words!! dnt worry once you finally get your bike, the moment will be that much sweeter. keep us updated! 🤙
Same Bro
@@TbTheGreat_ dnt worry man that throttle is gna be in ur hands in no time 🔥🤙
Bro here in Fort Lauderdale south Florida I have wet dreams about the roads you’re driving on with a lack of bumper to bumper traffic it looks beautiful
lmfaooo but also, we get demolished by cold weather and salt. you can deff get some air on some of these potholes 😂😂
Aug 5 🥺 Nice
Hey bro good video as always! Still trying to get my first bike (R6) but hasn’t worked out so far as all these dealers been charging an arm and a leg for them or good deals get bought right away. Keep up the good work.
yeah mann the R6 is hard to come by nowadays. even the 636 it was tough to get one used or new. so i just picked up any one i could find near me lolol. thanks for the support as always 🤙🙏
@@MedusaMoto you know it gotta make sure I support my guy💪 keep it up.
@@raphaels9103 lfg!!! keep me updated with that R6! hoping you get her soon so you can finally tear these streets upp!!! 🦾
cos they stopped making that track day missile. the r7 is only 2 cylinders. r6's r killer. so take it easy not a first bike
I'm saving up for a motorcycle rn, hopefully get one asap
You definitely dont need to be on the track to enjoy it but to really enjoy the full potential of the bike SAFELY, the track is the best place.
yepp agreed!
Been going back and forth to start on a 400 vs 600. Leaning towards the 600
600 is deff doable. you’ll deff learn slower than if you start on a 400
@MedusaMoto thing is I was told on a 400 you outgrown it so fast. You'll never really outgrow a 600
@@skyking6989600 n be careful. That is exactly true
@@skyking6989 there is much more to learn than you think. A 400 will still do 120mph and do a 0-60 in under 5s. Also I wouldnt recommend buying an expensive bike as your first bike, bc you are gonna drop it.
I had my 400 5 months before I got a r6. It definitely made me a better rider and respect the bikes power more. I definitely could have started on a 600 but I’m glad I didn’t. I miss my 400 for corners and the riding position was wayyyy more comfortable. I’ll probably get another 400 eventually.
It was the expressway that got me when I first start riding
yeppp lmao
Drawbridge grates is what gets me. Especially wet from rain😮. First drawbridge i did on my first motorcycle was during rain. Was more brave skydiving from 13,500 feet. Seriously
i started on r6, and my arms where killing me till i have learned how to sit and not hold tide on those bars, i did drive from buddy kawa and i can tell you r6 is ALOT more aggresive sit position
You should ride on the left or right hand side of the lane, the middle is where most of the oil spills go 🫡
Just got my MSF the other day riding them damn Harley Davison street500cc was amazing ngl.. there about 500lbs … I can’t wait to get a 636 I wanna feel the lightness 😂😂 keep riding safe bro 🤙
ayyy let’s gooooooo! congrats man, let the fun begin! keep us updated on that 636 🤙💚
@@MedusaMoto I got you my boy !! 💯
now your at 2k subs, nice!
ayyyy!
I started on a 2006 636 about 6-7 years ago, I never once dropped it and I upgraded to a 2016 636 krt a few weeks ago. soon going to add a 1000 to the collection. But it was for sure a scary experience coming from dirtbikes to a 600cc sport bike.
oh yes ive talked to ppl about this. it is a VERY different experience
Nice bro 🎉🎉🎉
appreciate you stopping by bruhh!! 🤙
A guy who owns a car may not be a car guy, but a guy who owns a bike is definitely a car guy
Your so right with everything, I started off on a Cbr500r for a few months then jumped n got a the 2023 zx-6r and it’s such a (Huge) jump in power n aggressiveness, but nothing like that joy or the thrill. Currently still breaking in just got ECU flashed by Moore Mafia(if u haven’t gotten it flashed you def need it huge difference in the bike!! Ride safe Bruh! #NinjaLife
i gotta look at an ECU flash. been meaning to. and congrats on the 636 man! thing’s a monster, you’re gna love her. you ride safe as well 🤙🤙
I'm thinking about getting one of these should be interesting considering the fact that I've never ridden a motorcycle a day in my life unless of course you were counting a four-wheeler which I doubt.
crazy cause i started on a zx10 and it was the perfect scared straight program for me lol
lmaooo damn man kudos to you. the 636 alone is scary af. but mad props for starting on a liter sheeshh
started on a 636 last june, first time ever on a bike. 6 months later got a s1000rr LOL i fell inlove instantly
bro hahaha 6 months??? congrats man the s1ks are so fcking nice. dream bike of mine for sure
@@MedusaMoto 2023 looked to good not to get
I agree with everything you're saying, I'm doing more driving in city traffic and people don't pay attention.
yeah it’s quite annoying, but also not really their fault. if they’re not in a motorcycle household, they’re just not looking for us unfortunately
@@MedusaMoto yep, we are invisible unfortunately
Looks like Long Island ..let’s go for a ride lol
Enjoying your content from Vancouver Island, BC. Stay safe brother!
thank you man for the support!! appreciate you 🤙💚
Eee bro just saw your channel good videoes but you gotta work on your thumbnails mann try to create better thumbnails wnd and you'll definitely see way more growth KEEP IT UP MY MAN IM GETTING A ZX6R AS MU FIRST BIKE TOOOO
8 1/2 minutes into the video I realized you live on the island too 😭, ride safe
Actually, I noticed you pulled in 3rd, and you need to stay like that until you get a steering stabilizer. It may make you tank slap if your tire raises a little if you pull from 2nd at 50. You NEED that stabilizer.
yah that’s actually one thing im afraid of. i heard horror stories about those tank slappers. im looking into getting one soon. thanks for the insight 🤙🤙
I had one happen to me at 87 and it was underwhelming. I expected way more danger, but it was VIOLENT. I let my arms relax and let off the throttle and it straightened out. I probably got lucky. After that, I put a little more preload on the back spring and did not do hard pulls until I got a stabilizer
i got a excellent condition 2008 zx6r and im excited to start riding it next season but scared at the same time. it’s dyno tuned and everything.
ooo wow so it’s hooked up!!! lmk how it is when you get to ride it 🤙🤙
I bought a 03 636 a month or so ago as my second bike (first was a 05 gsxr 600). I feel like 600s can be great beginner bikes. They’re not heavy. Not tall and cumbersome. But they are quick. And agile. More quick and agile than most riders. It’s never the bikes fault.
hell yeah congrats on the bike!! man as long as you know or are aware with what the 600 can do to you and you respect tf out of it. i feel like youll be fine on a 600. im on month 4 and honestly couldnt be happier with my decision 🤙🤙
@@MedusaMoto I had maxed out my 05 on the way home from picking it up. Aswell as almost looped wheelies at highway speeds. I’m more than aware of the dangers. Now I ride chill asf
@@dionmack2375 there we go man! sometimes you have to be humbled just a tad bit to keep you from doing some stupid shit. glad to hear you’re enjoying them chill rides 🤙🤙

I was out a few days ago. One of our new rider's friends just got a 2017 ZX636 KTR in ghost white with reflective green trim. We raced across the Gandy bridge He got the jump on me, fortunately, the bridge is 3 miles long or so. I barely ran him down. When we got onto I-75 My extra cc's paid for themselves. we had to ditch FHP, and darted onto my garage. 10 min later the chopper flew by. I live backed up to the interstate. they were not happy with the 5 of us blasting 150mph. To be fair the road was almost empty at 2am
wow holy shit lmao. be careful man, but also that sounds like a shit ton of fun!! that 750 is no joke
@@MedusaMoto I-75 is the perfect road. it is 4 to 6 lanes wide and all blacktop for 400 miles. Plus a super wide divider filled with water or woods. most of the exits are 8 miles apart near me. Can't get much better than that. We don't have any road courses near me. so be it lol
@@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263 haha wow that does actually sound perfect 👍👍
Nice video man! Quick question, where'd you get the keychain? Would like to get one for my zx6r as well
thanks man! i appreciate the support 🤙🤙. i actually dnt remember but i’m pretty sure it was from amazon. they have a bunch of these, just search for zx6r key tag 💚
I Remember getting on my 650 for the first time and shitting my pants LMAO. You're doing great man! Keep it up 🤟
yooo appreciate that man!! tryna be a legend like you on these LI streets lmao 💚. but yah man i feel like every single day i have to change my underwear. whether it’s going 120 for the first time or some mf turning left without looking 😒 it’s always something, but as you know starting on a 600 is fun af!!
@@MedusaMoto lmao be safe man! Don’t be like me 🤣 you’ll live longer👊🏻 but yea dude I agree people here can’t drive so you gotta be safe. Definitely practice a lot and the more you ride/get better the less someone pulling out in front of you will be a problem 💙 We’ll have to get a ride in when you’re more comfortable on the bike. 600s are too fun to not have bad bikes to start on though but you’re definitely built different 🤣Also do you have an Instagram or something? I got a question for you I don’t wanna ask in the comment section 👀
@@DoubtZK haha yessir im gna hit you up once i can get from hicks to sagtikos in fckin 15 seconds LMAOO. and yah bro hit me up on IG: medusa.moto
I'm that guy. I grew up building cars, racing cars, riding dirt bikes. But my fist Motorcycle is an R6 and i gotta say it's a different world. It's been a solid 12 year since i've ridden anything. Just have to take your time and get to know the machine & trust it. I knew i would be driving around cars, but i guess because i never have before that was the moment reality set in for me. Totally possible just be prepared to look like a noob and be scared. It's going to scare you.
I rode a ton when I was younger after 25 yrs off a bike I came back to the zx6r
yesssss!! welcome back man. you’re prob having a blast 🤙💪

Gonna start on 636 soon, never got a bike before by wish me luck and safety yall
I just went to my local dealership to look at the last 2023 zx6r they had. I sat on it and that alone scared me because my feet didn’t sit flat on the ground 😂 the bike just felt intimidating compared to a 250 from the course, even by the width and size. I can’t even imagine the power difference 😅 Since I left there I’ve been watching videos like yours and realize I’m not the only one who felt like this lol I’m just gonna have to pull the trigger and get one! I don’t want to get a 400 and end up selling it less than a year later
agree to your last point. you should see my first ride on the 636 from the dealership haha. it was scary but if i can do it, anyone can!! just be careful, traction control 3, and L power mode
@@MedusaMoto that is if he has rode anything before. If he's never been on a bike ever, the first time he twist the throttle and the bike jumps and he death grips the throttle shooting him into traffic or dumping it in the parking lot, it might be a different story.
Sounds like to me starting on a 600cc Supersport is about as scary as starting on anything anybody else doesn't deem a good starter bike. But with more power 😂. I've been on my ninja 650 for about 2 weeks now. It ain't anything crazy but I was...cautious with the amount of throttle I used in my first week. I gradually got more and more ballsy with it until I felt what full throttle was like. It's actually incredibly manageable for me. I've driven some faster cars at speeds that are definitely not illegal before so I have an understanding what power is like. I hopefully want to upgrade later this summer if not maybe next riding season to a zx6r, or if I'm dumb enough and r1, because those kawasaki parallel twins sound so gutless lmao
Damn, only been riding 6 weeks and already hitting 100+ in Mexico! 👍
ahahhaa when in mexico! 😜
22:46 Forgot about bikes being too light to set off the sensors. Have been trapped in a hotel, once. 😓
Hey bro I see you ride the south shore a lot. With a 636 you need to go hit up Oyster Bay, Milneck, Bayville area go check out Center Island beach. The roads are made for that bike. Bayvilles history is a big biker destination. You won’t be disappointed. If you decide to go into center island DONT SPEED! You won’t make it out with out a ticket.
oooo aight noted. appreciate you!
That is not an on ramp, that's a death trap! Who the hell desined that!? Man you are over 400 subs bro!! It's the great, real content. Keep getting it man!!!!
thank you man!! bro that on ramp is no joke. you’ll literally run out of road before you even look behind you 😒😒. i appreciate the continued support. 🤙🤙
All the greenery on that freeway was so refreshing to see, over her its just a fucken concrete wall will some vines growing on it makes you feel like cattle lined up
lmfaoooo bro on long island same shit. walls of concrete and just shit on the side of the highway
2 weeks in on my bike and I’m struggling to follow the break in rules. Not gona lie I’ve hit 10k rpms once or twice 🫣 350 miles to go 😮💨. Still need to practice on rev match downshifting and slow speed stuff. Also idk if your bike came with a quick shifter but my 2023 Zx6r has it and now I’m spoiled.. I love it.
Since 2019 they have came with a quick shifter
yep it did come with a quickshifter!! i turned it on recently, it’s such a game changer. i didnt have it on for a while so that i get used to using the clutch. but now i turned it on and might just leave it on
sucks it doeesnt have autoblip
@@johncody2422 wow i didnt even know there was such a thing 😂😂
@@johncody2422 that would be awesome 😯
i watched a compilation video and i know that first stop sign, i just stumbled across your channel. were you the one who hit the van running? XD
nah lmao i aint hit anything
I’m looking at getting a ZX6R myself
lets goooo!
Hey what up brother just came across your video and noticed alot of familiar things around im from out east more suffolk stay safe bud have a great summer maybe we will run into each other at a bike meet or something stay safe bro.
ayyy what’s good man. im eastern LI now too. what you ridin?
"I'm scared as shit." should probably not be followed by a 130 mph pull... but you do you, bud. Id say to stay safe, but...
it was a slow pull to 130 tho lol
Ive had rebuild my first motorcycle(2003 GSXR600). Im still trying to learn the clucth control. My clutch has a short throw.
oo yah that is key. i love a good rebuild. you can really make the bike your own 🤙
I bought a ninja 650 ABS as my first bike, and it’s been great, and YES I have nightmares about dropping it. And did you downshift twice before yanking that throttle? I’m a new rider so I’m wondering if you dropped two gears before racing it.
niceee!! and yes haha you’ll always have nightmares about dropping your bike, it’s totally normal. i did drop 2 gears before getting on it just because i was going too slow for the gear right below. so i dropped 2 so that i can be in the powerband (higher RPMs) when i get on the throttle. it all just depends on how fast you’re going and where you are in your rpms 🤙🤙
@@MedusaMoto …. Cool thanks!
@@madarchermoto4955 no problem! ride safe out there. the 650 is an amazing bike 🤙💚
@MedusaMoto Once I saw the memorial I just went omg thats LI, Im out east just picked up a ninja 250r first bike
ayyy lets gooo! congrats!
“It’s a whoooolllleeeee experience guys, did you see me almost FUCK all of my shit up right there?” Ahahahah dude you’re the best
I didn't buy a brand new bike I got a 636 for $2000 in grate condition first time and doing good
LETS GO BRO!!! $2k for a 636 is 🔥 bro. im glad you likin it
Honestly, my first bike was an 06 636 and at first I was timid, because I had only ever taken the msf, after riding for even a few weeks I got way more comfortable with it, and the only time I really think damn this thing is fast is when I hit the power band, any other time and it’s incredibly managible. however I live in Sicily where everyone drives fast as fuck, and a small bike would be dangerous because there ain’t no way you are keeping up with 100 mile an hour highway traffic on a ninja 400 so it’s almost nessessary for a 600
ooo i see! yah i agree it is extremely manageable if you really trust and respect it. but that fast traffic is such a dream haha. here in the US, esp in NY you can’t open it up like that. you can but just short stretches
@@MedusaMoto oh I know, the state troopers were out in force before I left in 2022, I’m from buffalo btw
keep vlogging bro i just got my brand new zx6r and i am going to start vlogging any advice ?
ayoo let’s gooo!! one thing i tell everyone is just to have fun with it. that’s all that’s really to it. lmk when your channel is up and runnin ill check it out 🤘🤘
@@MedusaMoto yesssir 🤝🏽🤘🏽and keep up the good work bro !
@@MPWandmore thanks man greatly appreciated!! 🤙
I’m looking at getting a ZX6R myself. I have friends and family that live in Hanover, Camp Hill and Mechanicsburg, are you anywhere near those places?
i am not unfortunately :(
I plan on starting out with a Suzuki GSX R 1000R
bro that’s awesome haha. be careful on it pls 🙏. you got this
@MedusaMoto I was just informed by my local dealer close to where we live to not start out with that size bike the owner lorie said she recommends me to start with a 600 so I was thinkin of either a gsx r 600 or a 2023 ninja zx 600
@MedusaMoto also thanks bro that's what's up man . Glad to be a new sub to your channel
@@Davids_United-Fam appreciate you! yah a litre to start on is crazy. but ive met ppl that have done it. you really will have very little room for error on it
@@MedusaMoto room for error on a 600 or 1000 ?
Our bikes looks fast…even when parked. An officer is inclined to issue speeding citation just for idling in a stop light! 😳 if you get into a traffic debacle with a driver, they’ll say they didn’t see you there a second ago. You were hauling ass. 😑
yeppp!! this hasnt happened to me yet but this is fully expected. all at the cost of having fun smhh
Is this Long Island? I just got my first bike if you see someone on a zx10 stalling out at an intersection you’ll know it’s me 😂😂
my klx 140rf was my begginer bike
ooo those are nice! 🤙
Hi there, no hate and I am probably a little to late, but you had to wait two green phases because u missed your first, have a great experience, I think I will Stick to your Account for a while, you are entertaining me pretty good
thanks for stopping by! appreciate you 🤙🤙
also. what does two green phases mean?
@MedusaMoto oh, I'm not a native speaker, I apologise :) I meant the traffic light, where u had to wait for soo long
@@icedealer4422 ooo i see! yah you’re probably right
75 degrees…..not too awful!!! Lmaoooooo it’s 96 feels like 110 in Florida rn
brooo lmao thas crazy. we finally hit 91 here and i thought i was bout to pass out LMAO
In texas here we're boiling which is nice😂😂
@@tgs_itekniquetgs_iteknique5612 at least you dnt gotta worry about warming up your tires lmaoo
@@MedusaMoto recently moved to texas bro was living in the caribbean (guyana) most of my life. planning on buying a 2018 r1 that im getting for 14k has 3k miles imo i think thats a good deal lmk tho. Im 18 and i got years of riding experience so imma be good. Always love the sound of the cp engine😌 so yea i would watch videos on bikes when im bored to hype me up more to finally buy myself a bike just here watching yall enjoy😭. And if i do buy the r1 it'll be year end might cant ride it until next year tho since it'll be winter😮💨
@@tgs_itekniquetgs_iteknique5612 yah true. i think that’s pretty good for an R1 imo. ive been looking too 😈 but yah once you finally get it, it’ll be that much sweeter.
Long Beach
hell yeahh
If you not scared of it don’t get on it 🤞🏾respect the bike and don’t die
Scared is dangerous. Respectful, is different. Regardless of a 125hp 636, or a 280hp H2, it's the respect you have for the machine. Don't be scared. A decent race school would benefit you.
yah agreed. gna try to hit the track soon 🫡
Can u a video on your camera set up I’m still currently trying to figure mine out.
Mine is slightly off
@@ace7391 hmm 🤔 ok i will try to include in the next video. what’s off about it?
@@MedusaMoto your field of view seems wider
Even though my camera settings is already set to wide
@@ace7391 ooo i see. im on a gopro hero10 2.7k 60fps Superview
