Yes many people who ride like crazy on road agree that there is big possibility that they day one day. I used to do that and accepted that i might die one die. But now i ride only tracks and chill on streets.
I think the thing that has kept me riding in one piece with no accidents for 20 years is shedding the ego and don't let others push you past your comfort zone. My old neighbor got inspired to ride and within a year he totaled his Ninja 650. This guy was straight laced, good job, years long marriage and two kids. The group he rode with were all seasoned, multiyear riders, with much faster bikes. One day they were on the interstate and got the attention of the law, they all ran, my neighbor who probably would have gotten a small ticket sent himself into a guard rail and ended us in the woods. His buddies, one of which was a convicted felon with a handgun which is why he ran, ended up paralyzed from the waist down. Another one wrecked into a grassy patch, totaled the bike but at least he could still walk. One got away but was caught later and when he was pulled over they found cocaine on him. So my nice neighbor, decided to ride past his comfort zone, with a bunch of people who were ticking timebombs, and almost ruined his entire life for nothing. He was in the hospital with multiple broken bones, he couldn't work for almost a year, the bike he totaled had 4 years of payments left, fines were in the thousands of dollars and his wife and kids almost lost him. He didn't ride after that, he got his job back but still hurts every day from one bad decision when he let his ego get the best of him.
My MSF instructor was a retired bike cop. He told us every motorcycle fatality to which he responded could have been prevented by the motorcycle rider.
It must be very risky for motorcycle cops to be in pursuit of someone as well. Do you know if motorcycle cops wear any protective gear besides the helmet?
What many don’t appreciate is that when things do go wrong, they go wrong very, *very* quickly. One moment things are totally fine and you’re having a blast, the next moment you’re airborne or sliding across the ground wondering wtf happened. So you are transitioning from “OK” to “Not OK” quicker than you can think “Oh crap”.
You'd be surprised at all the fools who ride under the influence. And at night, so many DUI car drivers. I nearly got nailed by a drunk driver at night on that Chinese scooter I had. So many riders falsely think riding at night is safer because of less traffic.
Yep in a split second, that why you have to avoid excessive speed and ride defensively, see danger BEFORE it happens. The faster you go the less reaction time you.
@@jessiemartinez3056Drunk people say the same thing. I rode high once. I was doing like 15 mph feeling like I was doing 60 mph. That is not a recipe for success.
There's a fella in Houston who posts videos of him flyin' on the highway through traffic and even passing cops, they don't even bother chasing him. I mean he's doing 165mph +. Down here you can be doing 85 and go to 0 in a blink of a eye and for no reason, today's driver and traffic in general AINT like it was in the 80's
There should be a federal no chase law, bikers should not be chased by cops, it ends up in far too many deaths and puts the public at risk. If the cops really want the bikers then call out the chopper, no biker can escape a helicopter and the bike will eventually run out of gas.
Re: people having no clue how "big" or "fast" your bike is - I had just started riding and had a white Ninja 300. Pulled into a parking lot and before I had even taken my helmet off, some guy came over and said "Nice bike! Is that the new H2?" I had no idea what he was talking about but told him it was just a 300. He was still impressed!
i been tuning in and out for 7+ years now. i’m glad to see you still uploading! I just bought a R7 in mid October thanks to you and the other OG motovloggers ride safe man!
Nice, I went from Mt07 to R7. I don't know why R7 gets so much hate. It's perfect steet bike for me. Plenty of torque and nice aggressive seating position.
I've been riding for 15 years, going on 16 and I've been down 3 times. I can honestly say 2 out of the 3 were completely my fault when I was young and dumb. My 3rd time was a complete accident. Bottom line, most accidents are caused by the Rider.
The real problem is idiots buying supersports with near 200+ hp as a beginner. It's never the supersport that kills them, it's them making dumb choices while riding. Yet I've seen noobs flying around on a Ninja 400 and doing the typical fast boi shit. So it all comes down to the idiot on the seat.
eyo cyclecruza, i've been riding for just over 2 years now and started on a 400 Kawasaki. that's literally my first motorcycle, no scooter, nothing, just a bicycle. i'm not looking to upgrade soon, because a freaking kawasaki zx6r is too fast on the streets and i don't want to die yet. but i've been watching your videos for over a year now, sometimes even on my intercom while riding through 30mph traffic. i start to appreciate driving slow and safe, and i remember when you said you were driving in cemeteries and you were a cemetery enthusiast, because you appreciate how much you're still here. i'll keep watching your videos, cyclecruza. you and me, we stay safe on the road.
I will admit that I have been over 100 miles per hours in the last ten years. I was the only bike and there was minimal traffic. I was trying to catch up with someone who I was supposed to escort this person to a place where they could spend the night. He was traveling about 85 in a motorhome, so I had to really get going to catch up with him. When I caught up with him, I had to explain the the state that he was traveling in was very happy to give massive tickets for speeding, especially when it is a motorhome that they are ticketing.
I see bikers with death wishes as a truck driver. Had 2 riders in hwy traffic change lanes in front of my semi so close i couldn't see them from my seat. I saw them cut in front of me, and i immediately slowed down. They were on HDs or something, and they were older riders. Another time at night on a hwy ramp in traffic, a motorcycle rider came up next to me and flipped me off and gave the praying hands. I think he likely was doing something dumb at the time. Another time, i was in NY state, and i pulled up behind a car at a red light. I started changing my podcast or something on my phone at the red light. The light turned green, but i didnt take off immediately after the car, i was finishing up on my phone, when i saw a helmet slowly inch away from in front of the nose of my semi after i was sitting there for 5-10 seconds. I was empty at the time and normally take off fast at lights. When empty, i can keep up with passenger vehicles because im a dast shifter(float gears). I believe that the rider had a death wish that day, and of course, had i killed him/her, their family would have sued the company and got a payday for the suicidal rider. Tho, i believe the truck had cameras and would have shown the rider wedging in between my truck and the vehicle i stopped behind. Because in the moment, i never saw the rider get in front of my truck. I want a bike, but i will likely get a slow cruiser like an Indian Sport Scout or HD Street Glide Special if i find a deal. I have/had a need for speed when im in a fast car, but i wouldn't do that on a bike. My acquaintance from work loved his hyaboosa(however its spelled), and he went down and didn't get up, a few years back.
Hey I hope you get bike soon. Skip a R1 tho unless you want to ride track. These days there are many great naked bikes better tuned for the street with better low end grunt than the track bikes like the R1.
@ I would be interested to trade rides to compare your fz07 and my r1 . I have gone -1 +2 sprockets. Cat delete, full system exhaust , and flash tune on a 06 r1. I have a lot of low end power now. Like it’s hard to keep my front wheel down
I here you cyclecruz I was one of those knucle heads, startrd on mopeds then dirt bikes to street bikes been riding over 35 years had 250r ninja 636 zx9r and many more. Was very lucky had 2 really bad accidents which were my fault at 21 and 35 lucky to be alive then took a break, then a couple a years ago I came across a 2015 yamaha r3 with only 50 miles on it I couldn't pass it up got for $3900 and I have had more fun on that then all the big fast bikes I have ever owned.
The kids that are just starting to ride believe that they won't be the next statistic. Talked to a couple riders while out riding while out one night, they all had helmets but shorts, a T-shirt and some vans nothing else. Im getting tired of showoffs that just want attention
I am now 47 I still ride a ducati 1299 I don't ride my bike to look sexy I'm not trying to look cool. And the last thing I want is government banning any bike for road use on that note some people ride for a rush and for fun not everyone can afford tracks every weekend or close enough to one so we hit the curves in the mountains every one need to lean to control how to ride there's a time and a place for these bikes to be ridden fast I'm not into wheelies or stunt riding so in city's keep it cool.
Yep, I've noticed it around my area as well. There are guys who ride responsibly, there are the guys who like to show off, but there are guys who ride as if they used a no damage cheat code.
Quit riding when I got married and had kids,now that’s over I’m back! Mom dad out riding Harley’s with no helmets is still a thing I see,it’s not a tragedy if they get hurt or killed.its pure stupidity
Brotha CycleCruza; I may have already told you, but I'll say it again, just to make sure; that me and my wife decided to get rid of ALL our high end motorcycles(my wife's MV Assen Edition, my MV serie Oro edition, and Ducati V4R and the 2023 Suzuki Hayabusa. Actually, they were all already bought and we got the new 2025 Triumph Rocket 3R Storm. We both got the R versions and not the GT; but got customized seats from Corbin and got all the carbon parts fitted onto our bikes. We wanted something fast, resembled the triumph triple R in it's agility, with cruise control and can go at least 150 miles before a fill up per tank. But, also, we wanted to be able to ride bikes that can easily go 100,000 miles without engine failure. We'll also be bring our bikes to Carpenter Racing in New Jersey for an 'in and out' service to get our bikes remapped with new motor parts that will boost power to over 210 horses AFTER the Dyno is completed. We wanted something that can be our daily rider, relaxable, but still powerful enough to overtake anything on the road and even keep up with superbikes from 0-60 up to 170 mph(responsibly ONLY going that fast when no other cars are around). And, with the new Rocket 3R Storm, we are able to raise the footpegs .59 inches higher for better clearance when we are riding around mountains...Also, the bikes are so intimadative looking and so heavy is truly discourages people from wanting to actually steal them and the attention we get is actually more attention than what we got when we were riding the ducati and MV Agusta's...lol..
Get a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y. They accelerate like motorcycles, and you'll be protected by a 4000 lbs plus car. Too expensive? Get a used one. Especially if you can charge it up where you live.
I’ve never owned a fast bike all under 650cc Kawasaki KLR 650 is my current ride I always wear all my riding gear cover the brakes and clutch when arriving at intersections I’ve been riding for 50 years
I used to do that. I have my ktm exc 525 supermoto with 612cc big bore engine that makes 70hp. I used to ride 180kmh on really bad roads here in Finland. I quit after crashing 150kmh. Supermoto going that fast is dangerous because it’s so light and wobble is deadly.
Dude! I'm 6.3 49 years old Brazilian. Unfortunately Honda doesn't sell the Grom here. I would do a shit ton of shenanigans with a a Grom! Like those circus clowns... 😂
All are guilty here. I live and ride in Asia on 25hp. My big European bike is the new CFMOTO 450MT, that's 40hp. Man it's all the power one ever needs.
I have been riding motorcycles for 43 years. I have a roadglide, a Sportster 1200 and a Kawa Z750 and have many friends who have lost their lives because of the speed. Do I still ride fast? Hell yeah. When it is safe and not endangering others. Never fly faster than your wing and it will be fine. So far I have not had a serious accident. Ride safe and think of your grandchildren, you want grandpa to remain unharmed. Bye 😊🏍🏍👌
I'm all about the torque cruzer bikes last night I stopped at a traffic light that was out was nearly rear ended and then the driver tried to run me down 😂 Staying Alive man
The problem is that a lot of people dont understand how trafic works , i got my first bike in my 40's i bought it because i could finally afford one , i wanna ride for as long as possible so even tho i dont even speed i STILL chose to go on long rides out of town over mountain passes and panoramic routes because i was a taxi driver for a LOOOONG time and i know how trafic works and when im on two wheels i get out of that shit ASAP !!
I live in san Diego. I've seen sooooo many bikers lane splitting at high rates of speed while the surrounding traffic is going around 50mph. One time i saw a motorcyclist body being covered by body bag by ems on side of the interstate. It's depressing. Maybe it's a sense of invulnerability and maybe feeling special that leads to them taking high risk actions. Idk. I was just in India a few months ago and riders there have very good skills because of the poor road conditions, constantly overtaking traffic, etc.
Good catch. I went back watching numerous older videos and see the trip lanyard all neatly bundled up and dangling in the wind every now and then. Is wearing this overpriced vest about Safety or something else primarily CC ? IF it's really about safety, maybe have Helite send you an inertia triggered model huh? Then you can box up that lanyard model and sell it to me for a really nice price (or donate) for coming up with the idea. I would wear it often. Even on my e-bike...that's where I have had several crashes with injuries, and need it most.
Personally, I think that someone that just got their new "M" endorsement should be limited for the first year to nothing above a 300cc. It's still too much for some people and will be just as deadly in the wrong hands of course but, at least there will be something left of the person doing 150mph to identify. This will ill some people out but, maybe it can save at least 1 person by enforcing engine size limits. I've had a hyper scooter too and it's fast but, they are stupid dangerous to people new to riding. Same goes with the bikes
I agree. Many of these bikers deaths are noobs with no skills on fast bikes acting a fool. I saw a Craigslist ad once that had a ZX10R with crashed fairings for sale, he said he realized the bike was too much for a noob and he was looking to get a Ninja 300. lol
You need to get yourself a real cruiser with bags and everything and just take weekend trips and explore the area around you get away from where you're at I think you would really enjoy it a nice comfortable cruiser. A real cruiser. Doesn't matter what brand as long as it's the cruiser.
I had a muscle cruiser, I used to own a 2016 Ducati XDiavel S. Awesome bike but I hated the forward pegs. I prefer mid pegs. You can put bags on the MT-07, it feels like a cruiser with mid pegs and sounds like one. I've seen riders tour on their MT-07, even make one into a ADV bike. The MT-07 is such a versatile bike and without the hefty weight of a cruiser. My former Ducati XDiavel S: th-cam.com/video/ne0LJ4unDEk/w-d-xo.html
2023 I bought a Tiger 1200, and took it for a 10 days road trip. Best time ever.. and this year I went on 12 day road trip.. even better times. And made a lot of new friends.. even fell in love. And not one time I felt uneasy on the road, even though it pouring down some days.. just because I was as safe as I could be.. why, I wanted to be able to go back next summer ☀️ Sure, I can ride fast, and it's fun.. but not when I don't know the roads and can enjoy the speed limits too 🫶🏍
Its really all about skill and ability. You can safely speed and go fast, you just need to practice and learn yours and your bike's abilities. Also knowing when and where.
If you ride without a helmet or jacket here and pants you will get booked, you can’t purchase a sports bike over certain power on your L or P cops may take away your bike. A guy got caught riding a 200 HP Ducati on L plates not displayed was arrested
See Simon's comment here CC? THIS is the F'd up socialist authoritarian sh!t people in the EU, AUS/NZ, and other globalist controlled countries do TO their *subjects.* We The People are not subjects. Citizens in the USA don't want that commie bullsh!t here. NO gear mandates, including the overpriced (ad$generating) air bag vest.
I've changed colors on my former cbr1000rr many times. lol The last color before I sold it was repsol, the bike started out as red and then I changed it to Yellow, then Yellow and black, then white with orange Repsol wheels and lastly to total Repsol. lol
I mean 1ks is nice and all but i really dont want one. Im happy with my 24 zx6r. i dont wanna go 180 in a straight line. The 636 is just a dream bike. Now if i ever get a 1k its gonna be a ZH2 just because i like the frame and supercharger sound. I like the Indian FTR too.
Preach on brother speed definitely kills I'm 51 been riding since I was 8 start it on the dirt track superbikes now cruises Havana crash because of a Winnebago pulled out in front of me took up both lanes had nowhere to go but slide several close calls hell I had cowboy boots on one time stopped at a red light put my left foot down hit that sand just slid right out from underneath me I don't wear gear like you do but I stay under the speed limit back roads only but I ain't going to lie some of them TH-cam chicks that ride these superbikes half naked damn it's sexy as hell but I'm a firm believer in pants jacket or vest gloves helmet always
Great to hear from an OG rider. The longer you ride the more wisdom you gain. A lot of us started out doing stupid shiz but grateful to have made it out of that phase alive. lol You should consider getting an airbag vest or a jacket with an airbag, they are worth their weight in gold. there are many testimonials on youtube with riders that walked away from major motorcycle accidents because of the airbag gear. They even have airbag pants now. Airbag gear can help keep riders from ending up in a wheelchair for life because of an accident. Keep on staying safe brother!
I agree bro, 😢 👍 i wish i watched this video Before i got a 2019 CB1000-R as my first ! I am 44 now. By the grace of God i rode it safely to NYC & Boston. I just Pray and ride no more than 100MPH when conditions allow it. No fool i am. I just git it for the looks and sexiness
Could be but the other accidents I listed were likely because of excessive speed. There is no reason a biker should hit the back of another vehicle unless they are speeding.
@CycleCruza I completely agree. However, the lady was intentionally killed by a psycho in a Cyber truck. Situational awareness is also important when riding. Although, I'm not sure it would have helped her.
I met a guy once that grew up in foster care, never had parents or anybody that gave a shiz about him. He rented a room and had nothing but an hoopty. There are people out there who were dealt a bad hand and don't care whether they live or die. Appreciate what you have! Appreciate those who love you.
Cyclecruza you just contradicted yourself. You said younger riders shouldnt be getting super sports because they are too fast and also said it is old guys dying on bikes just as much as young guys. It isnt the bike that is the issue. Its the individual. Bottom line, dont ride or drive like an idiot you will get got.
How many times have you used this chick in your thumbnails g? Rest in peace to the girl, glad she lived how she wanted, wore what she wanted, rode how she wanted. Even after passing, when she ain't here to defend herself, she still out here feeding critics with content.
You are arguing against natural selection. Sadly elemination due to high risk behaviour is the norm in all species. When a lion cub wanders away, hyenas. When an ape challenges the wrong alpha... It has always been the survival of the smartest, even for us.
very few places and times have I ever topped out any of my vehicles, from car, to truck, to motorcycles.... each time was only for a moment, away from people and with at least a 3 lane view. this isn't something I boast about but it is something I have done. I try to take the precautions to only harm myself if something happens. I really wish that people will do more on a track with that stuff but I understand the reason for not. I know you too have done the same with speeding and we all look back going damn I was lucky... Anyway, I do wish there to be a law to get to lane filter (going no faster than 30) while traffic is stopped or at a stop light. Then make everyone take classes the safety courses and have the different CC/HP restriction for their licenses, especially with the new electric bikes and how powerful they are. Then allow people to get on the track once a year for free to get some more training,. When passing that course, they would then be able to get a cheaper cost of admission onto that track to allow for those that feel the need, the need for speed, to have a place to do it in a more controlled environment. keep up the great vids.
I'm sure there a few different causes for such behavior such as; like you had said, ego. there's the adrenalin rush, and there's a few hours of riding under your belt and now must push for that rush thinking your superman because you haven't had that wake up call. All that is combined into a speeding traffic torpedo. Next day you're on the news in a bad way brother! ATGATT!
I think it's mostly people who have little forethought. Men under thirty generally have very little. Look at gixxer brah and ghost rider. They are thinking 2 or 3 steps ahead while going at high rates of speed. They are anticipating any scenario and ready to react accordingly. Also they are just lucky they didn't die in their beginning phase.😂
You really can't do much when traveling at triple digit speeds, it is really a matter of playing Russian roulette. The faster you go the less reaction time you have. Those four motorcycle deaths I pulled up in this video had just happened within 24 hours of my search, all were speeding at excessive speeds and nailed the back of a car or truck. Speeding bikers are getting killed at an all time high right now. Many motovloggers are speeding for a paycheck but it ain't worth if you die or become a quadriplegic.
Alot of people dont have the means to or dont even have a track close enough. They just need to exercise some self control and atleast be reasonable about it. But these squids just send it, no F's given.
Is "Death Wish" a real thing? Where does it exist? Is there a place to go and see it in action? Can we get independent confirmation that someone has it?
Lane splitting always is scary to me, all it takes it somebody opening the door unexpectedly or changing lanes quickly without signaling to take out a rider like I mentioned in this video.

I firmly believe probably 9 out of 10 motorcycle deaths are self induced. Speeding and acting a fool.
They are dropping like flies in my county. It is seriously everyday. Surprisingly it is equally baggers and sport bikes. Couldn't agree more.
👍 yeah like I said, many riders who speed have a death wish.
Perhaps not that many and IIRC according to the statistics it's not true.
HOWEVER, every motorcyclist riding with a death wish is one too many.
Yes many people who ride like crazy on road agree that there is big possibility that they day one day. I used to do that and accepted that i might die one die. But now i ride only tracks and chill on streets.
I've been riding for 30 years on the street, and all the crashes I've witnessed were from people riding way above their skill level. 💯
"The faster you go on a motorcycle the closer the grim reaper is" Put that on a shirt .
or a bumper sticker!
I think the thing that has kept me riding in one piece with no accidents for 20 years is shedding the ego and don't let others push you past your comfort zone. My old neighbor got inspired to ride and within a year he totaled his Ninja 650. This guy was straight laced, good job, years long marriage and two kids. The group he rode with were all seasoned, multiyear riders, with much faster bikes. One day they were on the interstate and got the attention of the law, they all ran, my neighbor who probably would have gotten a small ticket sent himself into a guard rail and ended us in the woods. His buddies, one of which was a convicted felon with a handgun which is why he ran, ended up paralyzed from the waist down. Another one wrecked into a grassy patch, totaled the bike but at least he could still walk. One got away but was caught later and when he was pulled over they found cocaine on him. So my nice neighbor, decided to ride past his comfort zone, with a bunch of people who were ticking timebombs, and almost ruined his entire life for nothing. He was in the hospital with multiple broken bones, he couldn't work for almost a year, the bike he totaled had 4 years of payments left, fines were in the thousands of dollars and his wife and kids almost lost him. He didn't ride after that, he got his job back but still hurts every day from one bad decision when he let his ego get the best of him.
Ah man they had a real f'kd up day! You are right. My late grandmother used to say you are as good as the company you keep. Stay away from fools!
@CycleCruza Wise words brother!
My MSF instructor was a retired bike cop. He told us every motorcycle fatality to which he responded could have been prevented by the motorcycle rider.
It must be very risky for motorcycle cops to be in pursuit of someone as well. Do you know if motorcycle cops wear any protective gear besides the helmet?
Yep, sadly, that is usually the case.
What many don’t appreciate is that when things do go wrong, they go wrong very, *very* quickly. One moment things are totally fine and you’re having a blast, the next moment you’re airborne or sliding across the ground wondering wtf happened. So you are transitioning from “OK” to “Not OK” quicker than you can think “Oh crap”.
That is so true, it can happened in the blink of an eye. The faster you go the faster you can have a real f**ked up day!
Risk are…alcohol/drugs, riding at nite, speeding, lack of protective gear
You'd be surprised at all the fools who ride under the influence. And at night, so many DUI car drivers. I nearly got nailed by a drunk driver at night on that Chinese scooter I had. So many riders falsely think riding at night is safer because of less traffic.
When things go bad on a bike it goes fast.
Yep in a split second, that why you have to avoid excessive speed and ride defensively, see danger BEFORE it happens. The faster you go the less reaction time you.
It's not just the speeding. It's the 3 beers and a joint before the ride that adds to stupidy.
Hey don't hate on the weed .it' makes me ride way better and plus it's legal
Can't ride carefully without the two beers and a joint cmon man
@@jessiemartinez3056Drunk people say the same thing. I rode high once. I was doing like 15 mph feeling like I was doing 60 mph. That is not a recipe for success.
Drinking down at the Drunken Clam lol
Jokes aside I do agree with you NOBODY should be drinking before a ride
@2wheelVengeance2065 FACTS but smoking isn't that bad
There's a fella in Houston who posts videos of him flyin' on the highway through traffic and even passing cops, they don't even bother chasing him.
I mean he's doing 165mph +.
Down here you can be doing 85 and go to 0 in a blink of a eye and for no reason, today's driver and traffic in general AINT like it was in the 80's
There should be a federal no chase law, bikers should not be chased by cops, it ends up in far too many deaths and puts the public at risk. If the cops really want the bikers then call out the chopper, no biker can escape a helicopter and the bike will eventually run out of gas.
I've watched his videos alot it's crazy ,he's riding in Houston, even has a video on how to escape 🚁
What's his name I can't remember it but I watched his crazy videos, thanks
@skatman3872 is he still on this earth? I haven't checked it out in awhile
@c0uchsl0uch Crash test goat ,that's it,videos insane
Re: people having no clue how "big" or "fast" your bike is - I had just started riding and had a white Ninja 300. Pulled into a parking lot and before I had even taken my helmet off, some guy came over and said "Nice bike! Is that the new H2?" I had no idea what he was talking about but told him it was just a 300. He was still impressed!
🤣 Yeah most non-riders have no idea what you are riding and think any sport bike is a fast bike.
i been tuning in and out for 7+ years now. i’m glad to see you still uploading! I just bought a R7 in mid October thanks to you and the other OG motovloggers ride safe man!
Nice, I went from Mt07 to R7. I don't know why R7 gets so much hate. It's perfect steet bike for me. Plenty of torque and nice aggressive seating position.
I've been riding for 15 years, going on 16 and I've been down 3 times. I can honestly say 2 out of the 3 were completely my fault when I was young and dumb. My 3rd time was a complete accident. Bottom line, most accidents are caused by the Rider.
The real problem is idiots buying supersports with near 200+ hp as a beginner. It's never the supersport that kills them, it's them making dumb choices while riding. Yet I've seen noobs flying around on a Ninja 400 and doing the typical fast boi shit. So it all comes down to the idiot on the seat.
eyo cyclecruza, i've been riding for just over 2 years now and started on a 400 Kawasaki. that's literally my first motorcycle, no scooter, nothing, just a bicycle. i'm not looking to upgrade soon, because a freaking kawasaki zx6r is too fast on the streets and i don't want to die yet.
but i've been watching your videos for over a year now, sometimes even on my intercom while riding through 30mph traffic. i start to appreciate driving slow and safe, and i remember when you said you were driving in cemeteries and you were a cemetery enthusiast, because you appreciate how much you're still here.
i'll keep watching your videos, cyclecruza. you and me, we stay safe on the road.
I appreciate your comment that “You have people that love you” this is so true. The people that Will mourn the loss of you if you’re suddenly gone.
I will admit that I have been over 100 miles per hours in the last ten years. I was the only bike and there was minimal traffic. I was trying to catch up with someone who I was supposed to escort this person to a place where they could spend the night. He was traveling about 85 in a motorhome, so I had to really get going to catch up with him. When I caught up with him, I had to explain the the state that he was traveling in was very happy to give massive tickets for speeding, especially when it is a motorhome that they are ticketing.
I see bikers with death wishes as a truck driver. Had 2 riders in hwy traffic change lanes in front of my semi so close i couldn't see them from my seat. I saw them cut in front of me, and i immediately slowed down. They were on HDs or something, and they were older riders. Another time at night on a hwy ramp in traffic, a motorcycle rider came up next to me and flipped me off and gave the praying hands. I think he likely was doing something dumb at the time. Another time, i was in NY state, and i pulled up behind a car at a red light. I started changing my podcast or something on my phone at the red light. The light turned green, but i didnt take off immediately after the car, i was finishing up on my phone, when i saw a helmet slowly inch away from in front of the nose of my semi after i was sitting there for 5-10 seconds. I was empty at the time and normally take off fast at lights. When empty, i can keep up with passenger vehicles because im a dast shifter(float gears). I believe that the rider had a death wish that day, and of course, had i killed him/her, their family would have sued the company and got a payday for the suicidal rider. Tho, i believe the truck had cameras and would have shown the rider wedging in between my truck and the vehicle i stopped behind. Because in the moment, i never saw the rider get in front of my truck. I want a bike, but i will likely get a slow cruiser like an Indian Sport Scout or HD Street Glide Special if i find a deal. I have/had a need for speed when im in a fast car, but i wouldn't do that on a bike. My acquaintance from work loved his hyaboosa(however its spelled), and he went down and didn't get up, a few years back.
First time yall try to ride with sportbikes, you gonna want to sell your mt07
There's someone called the GHOSTRIDER.... Never died
In 2002, i wanted an R1 but was too broke to swing one. In 2024 i'm just happy watching others ride.
A nice low mile 02 r1 might run you like 5,000
@@Tampa_tom No thanks. I'm happy mucking around on TH-cam nowadays.
Hey I hope you get bike soon. Skip a R1 tho unless you want to ride track. These days there are many great naked bikes better tuned for the street with better low end grunt than the track bikes like the R1.
@ I would be interested to trade rides to compare your fz07 and my r1 . I have gone -1 +2 sprockets. Cat delete, full system exhaust , and flash tune on a 06 r1. I have a lot of low end power now. Like it’s hard to keep my front wheel down
@@Tampa_tom There is no comparison at all. You would think you are sitting on a little toy bike.
I here you cyclecruz I was one of those knucle heads, startrd on mopeds then dirt bikes to street bikes been riding over 35 years had 250r ninja 636 zx9r and many more. Was very lucky had 2 really bad accidents which were my fault at 21 and 35 lucky to be alive then took a break, then a couple a years ago I came across a 2015 yamaha r3 with only 50 miles on it I couldn't pass it up got for $3900 and I have had more fun on that then all the big fast bikes I have ever owned.
Webster said he was going 140 mph.
I know some accidents can't be avoided but 90 percent of accidents wouldn't happen if people didn't ride so crazy
didnt see him because hes like a flash of lightning LOL. perfect analogy
Cycle cruiser you always talk facts we love you man keep riding safe and pop those wheelies when you can
The kids that are just starting to ride believe that they won't be the next statistic. Talked to a couple riders while out riding while out one night, they all had helmets but shorts, a T-shirt and some vans nothing else. Im getting tired of showoffs that just want attention
Nice vid yo! I died once on my motorcycle. I learned my lesson, now I wear full gear every time I ride. I don't want to die again. 👍🏼😊
I'm opposite, once they put the helmet law in place in my state, it wasn't that fun anymore. : l
I am now 47 I still ride a ducati 1299 I don't ride my bike to look sexy I'm not trying to look cool. And the last thing I want is government banning any bike for road use on that note some people ride for a rush and for fun not everyone can afford tracks every weekend or close enough to one so we hit the curves in the mountains every one need to lean to control how to ride there's a time and a place for these bikes to be ridden fast I'm not into wheelies or stunt riding so in city's keep it cool.
Speed isn’t my thing. I love the Stunts. Wheelies, stoppies, drifts etc
Yep, I've noticed it around my area as well. There are guys who ride responsibly, there are the guys who like to show off, but there are guys who ride as if they used a no damage cheat code.
Quit riding when I got married and had kids,now that’s over I’m back! Mom dad out riding Harley’s with no helmets is still a thing I see,it’s not a tragedy if they get hurt or killed.its pure stupidity
Brotha CycleCruza; I may have already told you, but I'll say it again, just to make sure; that me and my wife decided to get rid of ALL our high end motorcycles(my wife's MV Assen Edition, my MV serie Oro edition, and Ducati V4R and the 2023 Suzuki Hayabusa. Actually, they were all already bought and we got the new 2025 Triumph Rocket 3R Storm. We both got the R versions and not the GT; but got customized seats from Corbin and got all the carbon parts fitted onto our bikes. We wanted something fast, resembled the triumph triple R in it's agility, with cruise control and can go at least 150 miles before a fill up per tank. But, also, we wanted to be able to ride bikes that can easily go 100,000 miles without engine failure. We'll also be bring our bikes to Carpenter Racing in New Jersey for an 'in and out' service to get our bikes remapped with new motor parts that will boost power to over 210 horses AFTER the Dyno is completed. We wanted something that can be our daily rider, relaxable, but still powerful enough to overtake anything on the road and even keep up with superbikes from 0-60 up to 170 mph(responsibly ONLY going that fast when no other cars are around). And, with the new Rocket 3R Storm, we are able to raise the footpegs .59 inches higher for better clearance when we are riding around mountains...Also, the bikes are so intimadative looking and so heavy is truly discourages people from wanting to actually steal them and the attention we get is actually more attention than what we got when we were riding the ducati and MV Agusta's...lol..
Get a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y. They accelerate like motorcycles, and you'll be protected by a 4000 lbs plus car. Too expensive? Get a used one. Especially if you can charge it up where you live.
Will that make your electric bill sky high?
I’ve never owned a fast bike all under 650cc Kawasaki KLR 650 is my current ride I always wear all my riding gear cover the brakes and clutch when arriving at intersections I’ve been riding for 50 years
Thank You Very Much For Sharing 👍

Thank you for the video ❤
Can you do a video on top 5 dirt bikes to get for a pre teen i want to get one for my son for Xmas this year.
I used to do that. I have my ktm exc 525 supermoto with 612cc big bore engine that makes 70hp. I used to ride 180kmh on really bad roads here in Finland. I quit after crashing 150kmh. Supermoto going that fast is dangerous because it’s so light and wobble is deadly.
Cycle Cruza tells you, you will die riding a bike while reping to his safety gear sponsers he never tells you he is a paid promotion from.
But he just cares about you, right?
Just saying, you're not going to be able to do much speeding on a Grom
Dude! I'm 6.3 49 years old Brazilian. Unfortunately Honda doesn't sell the Grom here.
I would do a shit ton of shenanigans with a a Grom! Like those circus clowns... 😂
But yet you can still have fun, bust wheelies and even ride off-road. Slow speed fun is real, supermoto life is more fun than speeding on a superbike.
All are guilty here. I live and ride in Asia on 25hp. My big European bike is the new CFMOTO 450MT, that's 40hp. Man it's all the power one ever needs.
Don't ride above your skill level. Speed kills.
Get a new DRZ4
I have been riding motorcycles for 43 years. I have a roadglide, a Sportster 1200 and a Kawa Z750 and have many friends who have lost their lives because of the speed. Do I still ride fast? Hell yeah. When it is safe and not endangering others. Never fly faster than your wing and it will be fine. So far I have not had a serious accident. Ride safe and think of your grandchildren, you want grandpa to remain unharmed. Bye 😊🏍🏍👌

The problem is that a lot of people dont understand how trafic works , i got my first bike in my 40's i bought it because i could finally afford one , i wanna ride for as long as possible so even tho i dont even speed i STILL chose to go on long rides out of town over mountain passes and panoramic routes because i was a taxi driver for a LOOOONG time and i know how trafic works and when im on two wheels i get out of that shit ASAP !!

I live in san Diego. I've seen sooooo many bikers lane splitting at high rates of speed while the surrounding traffic is going around 50mph. One time i saw a motorcyclist body being covered by body bag by ems on side of the interstate. It's depressing. Maybe it's a sense of invulnerability and maybe feeling special that leads to them taking high risk actions. Idk. I was just in India a few months ago and riders there have very good skills because of the poor road conditions, constantly overtaking traffic, etc.

I've been down on a lowside many years ago. Totally my fault. Sand on a tight corner. I was not even looking. It definitely tightened me up. 😊😊😊
1:02 why wear the airbag vest if its not plugged in. lol
Good catch. I went back watching numerous older videos and see the trip lanyard all neatly bundled up and dangling in the wind every now and then. Is wearing this overpriced vest about Safety or something else primarily CC ?
IF it's really about safety, maybe have Helite send you an inertia triggered model huh?
Then you can box up that lanyard model and sell it to me for a really nice price (or donate) for coming up with the idea. I would wear it often. Even on my e-bike...that's where I have had several crashes with injuries, and need it most.
Personally, I think that someone that just got their new "M" endorsement should be limited for the first year to nothing above a 300cc. It's still too much for some people and will be just as deadly in the wrong hands of course but, at least there will be something left of the person doing 150mph to identify. This will ill some people out but, maybe it can save at least 1 person by enforcing engine size limits. I've had a hyper scooter too and it's fast but, they are stupid dangerous to people new to riding. Same goes with the bikes
I agree. Many of these bikers deaths are noobs with no skills on fast bikes acting a fool. I saw a Craigslist ad once that had a ZX10R with crashed fairings for sale, he said he realized the bike was too much for a noob and he was looking to get a Ninja 300. lol
You need to get yourself a real cruiser with bags and everything and just take weekend trips and explore the area around you get away from where you're at I think you would really enjoy it a nice comfortable cruiser. A real cruiser. Doesn't matter what brand as long as it's the cruiser.
I had a muscle cruiser, I used to own a 2016 Ducati XDiavel S. Awesome bike but I hated the forward pegs. I prefer mid pegs. You can put bags on the MT-07, it feels like a cruiser with mid pegs and sounds like one. I've seen riders tour on their MT-07, even make one into a ADV bike. The MT-07 is such a versatile bike and without the hefty weight of a cruiser.
My former Ducati XDiavel S: th-cam.com/video/ne0LJ4unDEk/w-d-xo.html
@CycleCruza yeah you had those bikes but you never took a real trip on them you didn't get out of Ohio.
@@CycleCruzalol that thing doesn’t really count get an Indian sport chief or sport scout . They got mid controls too.
Who is that at 2:56 doing triple digit speeds? Ahem, ahem....
*Going through a life crisis or something* 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
2023 I bought a Tiger 1200, and took it for a 10 days road trip. Best time ever.. and this year I went on 12 day road trip.. even better times. And made a lot of new friends.. even fell in love.
And not one time I felt uneasy on the road, even though it pouring down some days.. just because I was as safe as I could be.. why, I wanted to be able to go back next summer ☀️
Sure, I can ride fast, and it's fun.. but not when I don't know the roads and can enjoy the speed limits too 🫶🏍
Its really all about skill and ability. You can safely speed and go fast, you just need to practice and learn yours and your bike's abilities. Also knowing when and where.
Exactly. We can speed where I live, because it’s very remote with very little traffic, and we can all ride … 😎
i dont ride with cardo or phone mount for these reasons
dont EVER stop scanning the road, not even for a second
If you ride without a helmet or jacket here and pants you will get booked, you can’t purchase a sports bike over certain power on your L or P cops may take away your bike. A guy got caught riding a 200 HP Ducati on L plates not displayed was arrested
See Simon's comment here CC? THIS is the F'd up socialist authoritarian sh!t people in the EU, AUS/NZ, and other globalist controlled countries do TO their *subjects.* We The People are not subjects. Citizens in the USA don't want that commie bullsh!t here. NO gear mandates, including the overpriced (ad$generating) air bag vest.
Hey, that white haired dude looking at the Ducati has probably been into Ducatis since they had bevel heads.
True that. But many are out here trying get sexy back. 🤣
White CBR1000RR? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've changed colors on my former cbr1000rr many times. lol The last color before I sold it was repsol, the bike started out as red and then I changed it to Yellow, then Yellow and black, then white with orange Repsol wheels and lastly to total Repsol. lol
I mean 1ks is nice and all but i really dont want one. Im happy with my 24 zx6r. i dont wanna go 180 in a straight line. The 636 is just a dream bike. Now if i ever get a 1k its gonna be a ZH2 just because i like the frame and supercharger sound. I like the Indian FTR too.
You realize you say the word man about once every 45 seconds?

Preach on brother speed definitely kills I'm 51 been riding since I was 8 start it on the dirt track superbikes now cruises Havana crash because of a Winnebago pulled out in front of me took up both lanes had nowhere to go but slide several close calls hell I had cowboy boots on one time stopped at a red light put my left foot down hit that sand just slid right out from underneath me I don't wear gear like you do but I stay under the speed limit back roads only but I ain't going to lie some of them TH-cam chicks that ride these superbikes half naked damn it's sexy as hell but I'm a firm believer in pants jacket or vest gloves helmet always
Great to hear from an OG rider. The longer you ride the more wisdom you gain. A lot of us started out doing stupid shiz but grateful to have made it out of that phase alive. lol You should consider getting an airbag vest or a jacket with an airbag, they are worth their weight in gold. there are many testimonials on youtube with riders that walked away from major motorcycle accidents because of the airbag gear. They even have airbag pants now. Airbag gear can help keep riders from ending up in a wheelchair for life because of an accident. Keep on staying safe brother!
I have a zx10r and a z650. The z650 is the more fun more usable power. Save the 1000s sport bikes for the track
I agree bro, 😢 👍 i wish i watched this video Before i got a 2019 CB1000-R as my first ! I am 44 now. By the grace of God i rode it safely to NYC & Boston. I just Pray and ride no more than 100MPH when conditions allow it. No fool i am. I just git it for the looks and sexiness
I believe the lady killed in Utah was a victim of road rage.
Could be but the other accidents I listed were likely because of excessive speed. There is no reason a biker should hit the back of another vehicle unless they are speeding.
@CycleCruza I completely agree. However, the lady was intentionally killed by a psycho in a Cyber truck. Situational awareness is also important when riding. Although, I'm not sure it would have helped her.
@@FlapSmear78 They are out there. If you've ridden a few years you know this.
Cover the brake.
@timewa851 Oh, I know. I have knocked on a drivers window when he merged into my lane on the highway.
Maybe they don't a family that loves them.
I met a guy once that grew up in foster care, never had parents or anybody that gave a shiz about him. He rented a room and had nothing but an hoopty. There are people out there who were dealt a bad hand and don't care whether they live or die. Appreciate what you have! Appreciate those who love you.
Cyclecruza you just contradicted yourself. You said younger riders shouldnt be getting super sports because they are too fast and also said it is old guys dying on bikes just as much as young guys. It isnt the bike that is the issue. Its the individual. Bottom line, dont ride or drive like an idiot you will get got.
How many times have you used this chick in your thumbnails g?
Rest in peace to the girl, glad she lived how she wanted, wore what she wanted, rode how she wanted.
Even after passing, when she ain't here to defend herself, she still out here feeding critics with content.
You are arguing against natural selection. Sadly elemination due to high risk behaviour is the norm in all species. When a lion cub wanders away, hyenas. When an ape challenges the wrong alpha... It has always been the survival of the smartest, even for us.
very few places and times have I ever topped out any of my vehicles, from car, to truck, to motorcycles.... each time was only for a moment, away from people and with at least a 3 lane view. this isn't something I boast about but it is something I have done. I try to take the precautions to only harm myself if something happens. I really wish that people will do more on a track with that stuff but I understand the reason for not. I know you too have done the same with speeding and we all look back going damn I was lucky...
Anyway, I do wish there to be a law to get to lane filter (going no faster than 30) while traffic is stopped or at a stop light. Then make everyone take classes the safety courses and have the different CC/HP restriction for their licenses, especially with the new electric bikes and how powerful they are. Then allow people to get on the track once a year for free to get some more training,. When passing that course, they would then be able to get a cheaper cost of admission onto that track to allow for those that feel the need, the need for speed, to have a place to do it in a more controlled environment.
keep up the great vids.
I'm sure there a few different causes for such behavior such as; like you had said, ego. there's the adrenalin rush, and there's a few hours of riding under your belt and now must push for that rush thinking your superman because you haven't had that wake up call. All that is combined into a speeding traffic torpedo. Next day you're on the news in a bad way brother!
ATGATT!
I think it's mostly people who have little forethought. Men under thirty generally have very little. Look at gixxer brah and ghost rider. They are thinking 2 or 3 steps ahead while going at high rates of speed. They are anticipating any scenario and ready to react accordingly. Also they are just lucky they didn't die in their beginning phase.😂
You really can't do much when traveling at triple digit speeds, it is really a matter of playing Russian roulette. The faster you go the less reaction time you have. Those four motorcycle deaths I pulled up in this video had just happened within 24 hours of my search, all were speeding at excessive speeds and nailed the back of a car or truck. Speeding bikers are getting killed at an all time high right now. Many motovloggers are speeding for a paycheck but it ain't worth if you die or become a quadriplegic.
That’s why i deleted my ig years ago lol. I’m not gunna lie it can be tempting to act a fool for the ig likes.
Its best selling because all these kids wanna ride an wear those stupid helmet covers
Honda cub is the best selling bike of all time…. Just saying 🤭
If u travel by foot..
Or by Bus, train..
Chances are much lower u die...
while being in transit.
Life is a game of chances, some people like to live on the edge close to death.
They ride too fast, they should go to a track
Alot of people dont have the means to or dont even have a track close enough. They just need to exercise some self control and atleast be reasonable about it. But these squids just send it, no F's given.
And they'll have way more fun at the track. However, track riding is so expensive for most folks.
Get a moped Cruza it’s the only bike missing from your fleet!!
a good one though not chinese crap lol
Stay on topic. Don't need to see your bike and other useless shit
Is "Death Wish" a real thing? Where does it exist? Is there a place to go and see it in action? Can we get independent confirmation that someone has it?
I've been told i have a death wish by the cops but I was just having a good time.
Not a deathwish just addictive to thw speed. The freedom & feeling alive. I have no fear while splitting lanes at 100 + in CA.
Lane splitting always is scary to me, all it takes it somebody opening the door unexpectedly or changing lanes quickly without signaling to take out a rider like I mentioned in this video.
@CycleCruza I'm with ya, my wife made me get a high $ life insurance policy when I got my bike. Her friend calls me the organ donor.
I be been riding since 74.. now j rarely go over 45 mph.. the slower u go the faster u stop .. 2015 yamaha fz 07
I’ll stick to my Genuine Buddy 50cc scooter. 🛵
