Thank you for your comment. Obviously the bike has more than 2 gears. I can idle down in 3rd, but you are not going to all the noises that comes in using first. And that was the intent. Hope that helps you sleep better tonight.

@@michealmotorcycle4209 i can always sleep very well . I have the same bike called zzr 1400 ( with gpr exhaust ) here in germany . Riding since 32 years especially kawasaki . Drove the Gpz 900 r for 20 years . Greetings from germany .

🤣🤣🤣 Thanks brotha 🤙

Geared up on a MTB, yet totally squided up on a motorcycle. Makes perfect sense. 😉

Thanks!! So in this video, I believe I was running the RS11 Bridgestone tires, 190/55 rear. Those tires hands down, one of the best tires I've ran on this bike. But it did go quick. I've also ran S22 and S23 several times. Only got about 2k miles. The side of the tire would disappear before the center. Opposite problem with the RS11s. I've also tried the Road 5's, which lasted much longer, but I wasn't as aggressive with them back then. I've never tried any Pirellis to compare, but I will say the Bridgestone seem to have a harder carcass, which compliments the bikes weight. I would recommend the S23s, if you have to travel far for the twisties. On the highway, you should get really good mileage out of them due to the hard center compound. The RS11's just felt like a cheat code, any money well spent, in my opinion. I've also enjoyed the Michelins GPs (GP2 out now). Super pricey, but they did give the best of both worlds with performance and longevity. If money, wasn't a factor, I'd probably would be running those GP2 right now. However, after running those RS11's, I don't wanna put on anything else, if I'm going to be cornering all day. Lastly, I recently took on a 2 day, 1K mile Hyper tour ride, full of twisties, and I went back to the S23, because I knew the RS11's would not have lasted. I hope this helps.

@@michealmotorcycle4209 that info helps a lot. Thank you very much for your response.

Right! Every day is a learning experience. Please enjoy some of my newer videos, where I've corrected my choppy throttle habits.

Right now, im on some S23's, but just bought some RS11's

Thanks. Google algorithm is crazy. Like the universe telling you something. Say hi if you see me out there.

Some long ass gears on that 14. 😅

@@michealmotorcycle4209 he got enough power to pull stong in 2nd , 3rd, even 4th from low as 20km/h (i weight 75 kg suited). it is better to use higher gears for stability and smooth throttle transit.

@@scorpionreptyle She sure does pull strong in just about any gear. On this road, 1st and 2nd going up hill, mainly for the engine braking enter corners. At a more moderate pace, 3rd and 4th would do just fine. Down hill, I'm more on the brakes and use 2nd and 3rd, less engine braking. 4th and 5th at a moderate pace. Really, to each there own. Whatever feels best is my opinion.

we saw nothing 🤫😂

Mine was. 2007 special edition. All around YS, Canada and Australia, 3 crashes and still goes like a missile.

Lil Wayne is a lyrical genius. Maybe you prefer Lil Nas X?

@@michealmotorcycle4209 Eminem is the GOAT and you know it. Now go waste someone else's time with your BS.

@@ZombifyApocoly LOL. Sure. Practice what you preach. Quit hating.

@@michealmotorcycle4209 Not wasting your time...Nobody asked you to weigh in on my comment. Plus, I can say whatever I want about anything I want. The song used in this video is trash and if you like it, then your taste in music is also trash. Don't like what I said? Tough.

@@ZombifyApocoly You are still commenting here. Like I said, practice what you preach, and don't waste peoples time with negative comments. Also, Eminem is not the GOAT. Lil Wayne is. LOL.

Yeah, its a tricky turn. Downhill, bumpy and cracks on the corner entry.

Literally, everyone commenting weren't there or know all the variables involved. They don't know who's behinds me or how close or what kind of vehicle or vehicles. They don't know the speed limit, they don't know how far the next corner is, they don't know the temps, conditions of the construction zone, and they don't know California motorcycle laws.

@@michealmotorcycle4209 we can see plenty, thanks to the video ;)

@@3030toby O, cant find a CVC violation still? 🤡

@@3030toby Sucks to be wrong. LMAO

@@3030toby LOL, People who see a one minute clip, single angle, and think they know everything. Lol. I got a bridge for sale hun.

Thank you 🤙

Yet, I've proven over and over that I'm not.

@@michealmotorcycle4209 Yet you haven’t. You quoted the law, not understanding it, which doesn’t even apply to your case. You didn’t even understand the difference between a divided and undivided road/highway. You’ve been proven wrong multiple times by multiple people. And yet you keep using the same defense that they proved wrong. Just own up to your mistakes like a responsible adult and move on. It’s not worth risking your life or other people’s lives just because you want to be ignorant of the law. Again, there’s a good reason you didn’t do this in the other video you posted when you were in front of CHP. And you know exactly why you didn’t do it in front of the CHP

I am smart. Did you miss the exceptions clause to crossing the double yellow? I put it in the video just for those who are uneducated about it.

@@michealmotorcycle4209 you can't claim lane splitting and then cross a double yellow for safety purposes. you're straight up driving into the oncoming lane to make a pass, which is 100% illegal. you really are not smart at all.

@@poopmcgee3826 Seems to be smarter then you. DId you not see the truck push him into the opposing lane? 🤡

@@poopmcgee3826 Yet, your okay with the truck swerving and pushing him onto on coming traffic? That's the only crime in this video.

@@Asskicker408123 where did i say i was ok with that???? you are not very smart either. and no, that was not the only crime. it is 100% illegal to cross the double yellow to pass. cheeeeeese.

Yea, go for it.

@@michealmotorcycle4209 Thanks a lot :)

@@michealmotorcycle4209 I speed past my local police all the time without getting pulled over (allegedly). Does that all the sudden make my speeding right or legal? Your argument is rather ridiculous and completely glosses over a simple truth, police tend to give motorcycles a bit more leeway. Here’s CHP acknowledging what you did in the video in the comments and the video we’re all commenting on is illegal. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4HblIqGh8h7q9Usi=wTHvgqoylE6yNQ4Z&t=1m19s

@@ClevelandBeemer You keep making assumptions. I didn't get pulled over because its legal. I passed CHP, lane sharing, because I know its legal. I continue to pass other cars in front of CHP, because its legal. I didn't get pulled over because their wasn't a CVC violation broken. Show me the CVC violation that made my lane share illegal. Show me. Lastly, if think YT comments from random people are facts, you sir, are Illy misinformed.

@@michealmotorcycle4209 yet in circles we go. You violated 21658.1 (a). “BETWEEN rows of stopped or moving vehicles in the same lane.”

@@michealmotorcycle4209​​⁠the video you shared is lane sharing. This video of the truck driver getting mad at you, was not lane sharing. You keep quoting the law, even though it shows you are wrong. In the video you linked here in the comments, you stayed in the lane or were right on the line. Being right on the line when there is oncoming traffic can get you pulled over and ticketed if the officer wants to. But that was also very different than this situation. In this situation, you clearly leave the lane entirely and go far beyond the line and into the lane for oncoming traffic. The video of you passing CHP is barely lane splitting, but pushing it. Do this same thing and go into the opposite lane in front of a CHP and then post that video. There’s a reason you didn’t go that far over the line in front of the cop like you did in this video

@@ClevelandBeemer "Or moving vehicles in the same lane, including on both divided and undivided streets, roads, or highways." Why do you keep neglecting that part?

Yes I did. In California, there are exception to crossing the double yellow. What's your point?

Yea go for it

@@michealmotorcycle4209 thank you!

@@RespecttheTraffic yea, go for it.
