It's nothing new, new motorcyclists have been dying for decades. Too big of a bike, little experience, arrogance, the list goes on. Stay humble and never quit learning.
@@bethwelbright4199 i mean, look at the people who did start onna 600 or 1000 for example, they all say its a big bike but you see the self control and knowledge they had before riding and still riding to this day, its just the fucking retards who just wanna go fast well fast lmao, rider and other drivers are probably your main cause most of the time. I also agree though some people just are plain stupid and start on something they shouldn't but everyones different some people will be good some wont no matter what it is bike, car, anything. Anything can happen.
I'm just getting my first bike planning on getting a 600 everyone says I'm stupid cuz they r fast. Just cuz it fast doesn't mean I gotta use all of it I'm not a speed demon I just wanna do the speed limits n enjoy the ride I mean I just a 6 inch lifted 2 door jeep..... speed isn't my deal I like seeing the world up close
MSF course teaches good safe habits. One that's saved me a few times already without even thinking was pulling in the clutch when I unintentionally rip on the throttle at low speeds that could've resulted in me launching myself into traffic or possibly hurting people. Second thing that saved me a lot was using both brakes at once. I've skidded both tires a couple times already while keeping the bike upright and straight. Again, without even thinking my brain just did it, and that's a result of proper training. I got a bike with over 100 hp as a first bike and also weighs 400 pounds. Add the constant torque of the engine and it's a recipe for something happening really fast without a chance to think. Like he said in the video, DISCIPLINE. Keep yourself in check and remember the most important part is not your safety, its your bike's safety 😉 not to mention how fuckin embarrassing it's gonna be when you fuck your shit up trying to do something you're not ready for. Take it at your own pace.
Things can go bad on a 600cc fast and go terribly badly with a 1000cc immediately. I'm super experienced and ride a liter bike. And I have to be super careful not to give it a handful of throttling in the wrong place. The bike can come immediately up from under you and throw you off like you're riding a bull. Also you need to see everything around you and remember that almost nobody will see you. You need to be able to fully focused at all times. That's why I don't rude to work. I'm tired when I get up and I'm tired when I leave work.
My first bike was a 1000 it’s all about discipline and safety I watched so many videos on safety and took the msf course. If you’re a higher guy please don’t start on a 250. If you’re that concerned about safety get a scooter or don’t get a motorcycle at all.
Thanks for the video spunky. New riders really need to watch your videos. I learned on an '08 600 brand new off the floor, the power modes did make things easier the first time i threw a leg over, but it wasnt long before she was back in a-mode. It was a scary learning experience for sure.
Thanks! That’s a great bike one of my friends had the 2009 white/grey 600 beautiful bike. I believe they had 3 modes back then, now they only have two. Thanks for watching!
I'm most likely get a 600cc bike so I don't have to buy more than 1 bike, but I needed to see this video on what not to do, safety always comes first folks
Size of the bike doesn’t matter. It’s all the rider. My first street bike was a ZX10R. Respect the power. Ride within your means. Wear all your gear and you’ll be fine.
Hey Spunks! Great video really enjoyed this one. I do feel you explained things very well but there is 1 topic I wish youtubers would add to these kind of Video's. Everyone overlooks this one but talking to all my rider buddies they have all had this experience. Second Nature and instincts! Motorcycles are not like cars you ride using your body, You lean, you pull, you tug, you shift your weight and after a while It becomes so natural you forget it exists. New riders are not used to that kind of movement, riding can get tiring and stressful on the body and a wrong move can end badly. I was told to go play on Dirt bikes or go cycle. Dirt bikes don't translate 100% but its more about getting a feel for riding, Plus less likely to die on a dirt track then you are on open road. Not only keeps your brain sharp because you are no longer focusing on when to shift gears or when to lean, how hard to lean, how much weight you are moving because all of that becomes second nature. Your brain is now focused on surroundings like Oh snap I'm flying towards a tree way too fast. When cycling you are always paying attention to what exactly is Infront of your tires because something as small as a pebble can throw you off. As an experienced Rider you don't need to look down at your tires to know what's Infront of them because its Second nature. On a bicycle you learn to focus on your spatial awareness. On a dirt bikes for one don't need a license but are great for practicing your instincts for example you are always sliding around, but your body becomes accustom to the feeling and you shift your weight accordingly as to not fall, Control the slide and counter lean on traction loss is the aim of the game. New riders either learn that by falling or close calls but its better to experience it off-road where crashing or falling over isn't a big deal.
My best friend lost control of his bike one morning on his way home from work. Only doing about 45 or 50 mph. Not sure why he lost control, but swerved, came off the bike and hit an elevated concrete post. To every single one of you, enjoy yourself, but please be careful.
I'm 32. And 6 months ago I finally took my A unrestricted license. I have no experience what so ever. But I'm not scared. It's because I've waited years for this and kept telling my self that it's not the time yet. I'm driving a car from 2011 and in my 10 years on the roads I've seen a lot of stupid things done by others. I switched to a conservative driving and let the others do what they want. But hang on. You gonna ask why driving a car has anything to do with riding a bike. It does more than you think. It teaches you how to drive safely and mature your mind when on the road. So at 32 I don't want a fast bike. I want a low powered one that does the job of teaching me. The CB500f the one that I'm after.
Spunk I don't know to choose btw the same bike you have or the zx6r 2017 , what do you think ? thanks for this video it help me a lot , you are saving lives with your content !!
That’s a great question. I don’t think you could go wrong either way, I rode a 2019 zx6r and I really like that bike especially the quick shift feature. I’m gonna say the Gsxr but that’s just cause I own one and I know more about it. I think you’ll be happy with either bike tbh probably gonna come down to the price at that point. Good luck!
I’d definitely say nowadays with younger newer riders they have influences like max wrist and want to ride like him and his crew which also causes very careless and unsafe riding behaviors
Absolutely relevant video and tips. I see u have a newer iphone. Have u experienced the damaged OIS when taking photos? Apple itself stated that strong MC vibrations will definitely damage the system in the long run. I have heard even vibration dampeners are of no use against this but dont want to learn it the hard way so im cautious about it. For the love of God pls wear full gear. U create great content and u have to protect those assets. Would be very sad if u ended up in hospital coz a stupid driver didnt see u or whatever excuse they pull off :/ Godspeed!
I'm a new rider. I also have a white gsxr 600 like yours.😂 don't they just look nice. Hahaha. Great video, and thanks for the good info. I will be following you bro. Keep the videos coming.
I'm looking at a 2023 kawasaki zx6r for my first bike, I've riden dirt bikes before but never a actual motorcycle. I'm actually looking at it because it has the different power modes and stuff on it so I can regulate it and slowly move up from there
Just found your channel great content bro, what’s your opinion on someone buying a motorcycle for convenience, no kids, cheaper than a car, and likes bikes just to ride to work and small errands. I want a 600 because I like the look and always been interested in motorcycles. But people I know that ride say anything under a 600 is girl bikes 😅 what’s your opinion my guy.? Thanks for the excellent vids.!!! Keep pushin💯🫡
Nowadays, especially with the heavy influence of social media platforms like TikTok, there are people getting into the hobby with the wrong mentality: to look cool. It's a terrible vision to have for such a dangerous activity. The result is inexperienced riders on large bikes with little to no gear. Most Motorcycle Content Creators, on TikTok especially, are not very good role models for the community; they often post reckless lane-splitting, wheelies on busy roads, and cop encounters with promoting captions like "this is your sign to get a bike". It's the completely wrong mentality for this hobby, and it is definitely contributing to the statistics. You shouldn't get a bike to please others.
I lol @ bros who use high octane gas as a flex even when their bike just calls for 87 because they say it makes more power or is better for the bike or whatever, when actually all they're doing is wasting their $$ 😆 He was joking about that, but ironically the 93 he actually went with was the bad and dumb choice, 600s don't need that shit. Also, motovloggers who take their hands off the handlebars 75% of the time just to make stupid pointless gestures while talking to the camera are cringe AF. Don't talk to me about safety if you do that shit dude
Bro, I agree with you so much because people are honestly dying because they do not have a drivers license more second lesson actually because they do not drive correctly correctly I meant because it is Debbie try to go fast and what Tata do you stoop this price it was on the ground bleeding his order was off because he has been hit off the motorcycle and that’s how dangerous it is so were you on the bike please be safe because you won’t know because kids be running in the middle Road dry was being being being stupid as always so I’m just give me a bye this media so be safe.
bro whats your response to some riders mentality of YOLO. like we all agree that riding is dangerous and it might be our time some time no matter how careful we are. nice vid. true though been seeing a lot of crashes in toronto too. rough
Good question! I think you have to do what makes you happy. I don’t like to live in fear, but at the same time I try and do everything the right way to avoid getting injured out there. I think as long as you ride with some sense and don’t take too many risks out there you should be fine.
I was just a Scooter Guy for three years and decided to switch to a real Motorcycle. I’d bough a Kawasaki Z650RS and just following all safety tips and advises, like that, I feel like I’m doing good actually. But never, never do things that you never did before without safety training. In my opinion you can start with a 650 or similar since you go humble. The fear is a friend at all.
Hey spunky i've been looking to getting into purchasing a motorcycle. I've never ridden a motorcycle and would still need to get a motorcycle license. I'm also 5'5" so i was wondering if you think the Kawasaki Ninja 400 is a good beginner bike for short riders
All I had was R1s dude I’m still here. Any motorcycle can kill you slow or fast. It all depends on the rider. Don’t ride in groups and try to keep up when your new. Even you can die because of some random jack ass not paying attention on the road. A deer could pop up.
It's nothing new, new motorcyclists have been dying for decades. Too big of a bike, little experience, arrogance, the list goes on. Stay humble and never quit learning.
Size of the bike matters @Malicious X

Growing I rode in the dirt, but I took the MSF course and it was an eye opener for road riding. A must for everyone on the street

Im in new zealand whats an msf course
Motorcycle s are fun when riding slow solitary solo slowly
I fell in the second test bike was too small
600s aren’t fast below 8-10k rpm
You forgot riders being complacent and having their hands off the bars more often than they're om the bars lol!
Lol which he does all throughout the video
Im glad im not dead yet

Get a 125 ride that for a while until you're more experienced then think about getting a bigger one 125s are fast enough for beginners

Thank you❤
After all this I’m still gonna get a 600 lmao
