“When people succeed in life, it makes me smile”. That’s a quality and extremely rare trait right there. No jealousy and simply wishing good for everyone is something we don’t find in most people. Great content man.
I must say I'm happy I didn't start on a liter bike. Not like a zx6 is any more recommended for the first bike also, but I'm grateful for the experience I accumulated, the mistakes I made and lessons I learned that I can successfully apply to a liter bike in the future. I tried my buddys panigale V2 and that thing was not as forgiving, and I found it less comfortable, more aggressive, it made me appreciate my zx6 even more. I think the 600's is a great sweet spot particularly in terms of sport bikes, but again, I hope to add my dream R1 bike one day to the stable.
Lmao 😂 new relationship when your texting each other.. I’m dead.. congratulations on the R1M brotha. Looks killer. Makes me miss the R1 I had with that crossplane sound.
It's weird how everyone has such a different experience with the s1000rr. For me the bike is absolutely brutal. I feel every tiny imperfection in the road and feel absolutely connected. It's also just power everywhere with an incredible sound when you are on it. Bought mine used so I was kinda lucky to have all the little ussues already sorted on it. Got it with 3k miles and have 11k now in half a season. Crazy machine with stage 2
Very odd. Im 6’3” 235lbs, and I felt it was the most comfortable sport bike I’ve ever owned/ridden. And I came from a 600cc prior. Never had any issues with vibration, and not a single mechanical issue where I had to take the bike in. Maybe I just got a really good one. I’ve pondered trading for a V4S, but maybe I should keep it if I got lucky
Well each body type is different. Some people have really long legs and short torso and vice versa… There’s so many to take into account when seeing if the bike is indeed comfortable. Yeah it’s hit and miss with the K67 models. I had issues from the start.
@@ape_rider understandable. Its the same way with cars too. Some people my height can fit into certain cars while I can’t. R1M is a bitchin bike too though. Enjoy it!
@@ChokolateSushi23 yessir thank you! Not discrediting the s1000rr; like I’ve said it’s then quickest bike I’ve had just got old for me real quick lol. It was just way too easy to ride and stupid fast ahah 🤣
@@ape_rider I want something I can look at and still not feel like i need more power but also enjoy for a while. I wish there was a BMW S700RR or something.
RS660 even is too much for a total noobie and a very capable bike--- it's not far from a 600cc supersport. Ask yourself... do you actually want to develop motorcycle skill? If so you don't start on a supersport you develop fundamentals on a forgiving bike and then get a powerful bike and can actually enjoy the bike and it's capability. A rider on a Superbike with 3 inch chicken strips is lame in the moto world lol
@@ape_rider yeah im in CA / Bay Area. I really appreciate the replies & advice man! Im really torn between the r1m and rsv4 factory. the closest aprilia dealership to me is 30 mins away (which sucks), while I have a Yamaha dealer 5-10 minutes away from me. Im pulling the trigger on one of them in the next few weeks or less 😅
@@jamesaranda1451 I love the aprilia don’t get me wrong but the lack of reliability was a turn off since I ride a ton. I have 3500 miles on the r1m now just got it a month ago.
You can it’s not impossible; but it is very unforgiving in A mode. You can ride in D mode which de tuned the bike and feels like a 600CC. It’s all mental and maturity level. If you ride responsibly then you should be fine.
@@ape_rider That's interesting. If I had the cash, I might actually try that. I think I will end up on an older 600, though. If you were to graph price and features, the line would cross around a 2006 600 super sport. In other words, they cost about as much as a beginner bike but have a lot more upgrades from the factory. So it seems.
The newer liter bikes have a lot of safety modes and the ECU can be de-tuned. If you watch the entire video I discuss how the R1 is very unforgiving in A mode. For a beginner, though its not advisable to start on a 1000cc, it is doable if you have the proper mindset and maturity. You can kill yourself just as easily on a 300cc bike if you're riding like a twat.

You can definitely start on a liter bike as long as you are disciplined. Most people lack said discipline so id advise against doing so 😂
Facts.
On top end the s1k is stable or shaking compared to V4s?
S1k is incredibly unstable top end . V4s is very stable.
360 gang, nice bike buddy
Thanks Bon !
Can you make a helmet setup video?
Sure but I run the hero 8 black with a GoPro mic adapter with ND filters !

That's crazy 26 000 for the r1 and my 2020 zx10r was 15,000 and a 300 dollar flash and it whoops every r1 I've came across
Yeah the ZX10s are real quick bikes really good as well in terms of price to performance
I hear you but what about bikes like the Aprilia RS660 and Panigale V2
I haven’t ridden those. I’m sure they’re nice bikes as well; just depends what you’re looking for as a rider.
@@ape_rider I want something I can look at and still not feel like i need more power but also enjoy for a while.

If you’re not a beginner rider then get the r1. Plenty of power.
u got your 2022 r1m for 26,500 out the door? if not, how much was it out the door with tax and all?
Do the math. Depends on your state.
@@ape_rider i have a dealer offering me $24,800 for a brand new 2022 r1m but thats not including tax/fees. think its a good deal?
@@jamesaranda1451 Oh you’re in CA; yes that’s a good deal. Find out the OTD before tax. If it’s close to $26K then yes get it!

I almost want to start on one of these just because of the sound. I know that's a bad idea, though.

@@mrmcbeth really depends what your budget is and what you’re looking to do as a rider.
I live there dude
You should of got a 2020 zx10r I got mine and won't ever ever ride anything else best bike ever
Zx10r is a badass bike, but the R1 I prefer the sound of the Crossplane!
I am 5.9
amazon music??!💀
You know it :)
200 horsepower bike for beginners. What will yall think of next? 😂
