Not stupid lol 😂 your wife probably told you that I’m guessing 😅 enjoy brother

I'm 68 n have been riding a Zx1400 since 2006. I have 2015 bought new that year. Bought my first 900 in 1974. 😎

Haha im 53 about to buy new litre bike. Enjoy brother

I was eager for you to get on the freeway. I wanted to see you really rev it, but then remembered you re doing break-in miles, so good you did not. I love this bike and always wanted one since they came out. I rode my CBR1100XX on the Tail of the Dragon: def a great life experience for anyone who loves sport riding

Your age has nothing to do with anything. Just keep good maintenance going, and that thing will keep you happy. It's between that KAW and the Suzuki, the only really good choices. Yeah, for break-in, just don't lug the engine, vary your RPMs for about 200 miles. Dump the oil and filter at about 200 miles, refill with good oil and stock filter, you're ready to enjoy. By the way, I'm going on 67 years old and ride a sportbike.

I’m 52 and I just bought one

love your honesty ngl

I turned 60 and went from a Harley to a Busa 🤭 No regrets

I am 64 and currently looking for a super sport myself. riding a HD Electra glide now. Love it for touring. I need a bike for fun as you've suggested. glad to see older guys rocking the Super Sports. Inspirational.

I ride a 2016,im so tired of these videos showing some goof going straight and flapping his gums..why don't you take this bike on a really twisty road at speed and show how this bike carves corners. I've worn out sets of foot pegs and chase sport bikes through the twisty! For a medium size bike it handles very well!

I thought Dragon's Tail is in Tennessee??

Right on! I rode GSXR's, Ninja's, TL1000R back in my late 20's / early 30's in the late '90s/early '00s and did all that stupid stuff, wheelies, riding too fast etc. it was fun back then but glad I survived and moved onto Harley's to slow down a bit and ride safer/slower. Currently 54 years old and still have a couple Harleys (StreetGlide & Fatboy) but just picked up a Suzuki GSX-8R to have some fun and change it up a little bit. I guess it never really leaves your blood... LOL. Now I'm looking to get a ZX10R like yours or a CBR1000RR to enjoy. I want a garage full of bikes too, much to my wife's chagrin hahaha. Like you, I like to watch the young guys on KZbin and leave that stuff crazy stuff to them... I'm too old for that stuff now. Subbed!! Keep the rubber side down my friend.

Goofy menus? …. Had a 2023 Africa Twin …. That had goofy menus. lol.

Any new upgrades?

Enjoyed the video immensely! I’m almost 60 and am currently riding a Ninja 1000SX. Had been almost embarrassed to admit this grandfather still enjoys riding the crotch-rockets,so was happy to find other like minded enthusiasts! Subscribed!!

Hi I have question for you: when the engine is hot (normal driving temp), did you hear any difference in its engine sound when squeezing the clutch lever? For some reason, mine does give the strange sound, when squeezing it, the engine sounds smooth but when release it fully (in neutral), I can hear the engine sounds a little rough and vibrates. Is yours like that too? Mine is 2023 ES just like yours, we bought almost at the same time :) I took it to the dealer where I bought it from, they said it is normal which I do not think so. I called Yamaha, and they made a notation about my report. If yours sounds the same, then perhaps it is normal, although I do not like to hear/feel it when the engine runs. From cold to warm, no issues. Only when it is hot . Thank's.

Ill be gettojg my first sportbike next year after im released after quad tendon repair surgery

Hope all is well and please MORE VIDEOS! 😁

hope you keep making videos.

I’m 61 years old and i love ride my zx10r

Are you kidding? By 55 I'll probably be getting an Aprilia or a Ducati after the SV650 I just bought. Riding is awesome. Do it while you can and enjoy it.

The answer is no. At six foot and two hundred and sixty pounds, the answer is no. I bought the twenty twenty one when the new generation came out, and I returned it back to the dealership for something else in about five days. The answer is no

Amazing ride. I am currently looking at purchasing one.

Don’t feel bad I’m 47 and all I own is crotch rockets, 3 R1’s and I’m going to continue to ride till I can’t, I even got right hip surgery and I rode my R1 yesterday for the first time this summer, it felt uncomfortable but I was happy.

Im 57 got a 2004 zx10r the best year no Electronics. Just you and the bike. I

I'm 40 and haven't rode a sports bike in about 15 years. I wanted something more comfortable. Tried a Harley for awhile but like you said i also thought it was boring. I now have a MT09 which is a lot of fun and very comfortable but now im itching for more power. Im also over the wind when going fast on a naked bike. Maybe i will give the zx10 a try after watching this video.

60 y/o and looking to get on a zx6, zx10 too much bike for me personally.

Just bought mine 2 weeks ago, so far I love more each time I ride it. Just got 850 Kms on it, trying to decide on which pipe to get.

Man that highway run was awesome.

I love my FJR. One of my favorite things about it, is the sound it makes when it's sucking air in.

I am 74...I want one...!!!

Got mine a month ago ❤

I love my 2023 FJR!

In the pipelina

Un petit bonjour de France !🇫🇷 Depuis mes 20 ans (aujourd’hui 35), je ne roule que sur hypersport quasiment… J’ai possédé 2 zx10r, la 2004 et la 2012. Le modèle de 2023 est vraiment un rêve que j’attends de pouvoir me payer

I got you beat by a bit and I have my 2024 zx10 . Only 66 miles. Does hurt my neck a bit tho.

I still have my 04' FJR with 40,000 on the clock. I have kept it superbly maintained over the years, with no issues. I have completed many multi-state tours over the years; no other bike compares on the open road...And I have owned 8 other bikes over the years and getting ready to start looking for a newer model FJR, a 2016 or newer with electronic suspension, throttle-by-wire-, heated grips and cruise control. I will keep my 04' as a back-up bike and as a loaner for my oldest kid when we do road trips together! Cheers! ~ Jonesy ~

Has had lots of bikes, but wears no gear, smart. Removable "hardbacks"?

Congrats on your new FJR! I have a GEN I, 2004, with 40,000 on the clock. Absolutely the best bike I have ever owned (and I currently own four). I have done MANY multi-state tours on this beast. She is comfortable, carry's a lot of cargo for long trips, fuel efficient, extremely reliable and wicked fast. Great in the twisty's and comfortable on long straights. I am upgrading to a new FJR very soon and will keep this one as a back-up bike.

I am thinking this bike maybe too high on the seat for a guy like me at 5"9". I like to flat foot a bike. What do you say.

I just bought one 2 days ago a "17 with 14k miles, mint. I like the fact it uses regular gas. And yea its super fun bike. Cruise control is super nice too. Stay safe man.

They don’t have it in automatic being shaft drive

My scatpack would destroy you

Good video. What camera setup you using?

I'm also having a midlife crisis at 42. I'm very undecided between a 2024 ZX10R, S1000RR or GSXR (new one with digital display). I do agree that the ZX10R is very comfortable compared to the BMW. Never sat on the GSXR though and I don't like the 'GSXR gangster squid image'. I did notice that in my country, the insurance is cheaper for the BMW while the service is cheaper for the Kawa. Did you also compare these bikes in depth before purchase or did you simply gravitate to the Kawa? Happy after 9 months?

I'm 58 , still ride the ZX-10 R and do trackdays too...Congrats. on the new bike ...you made the right choice you are not too old, and that is a fine bike...it will be all you need...enjoy...!

And on the 7th day God created the FJR1300.

Like you said, I'm surprised this doesn't get more attention. I saw one parked for the first time a couple of weeks ago and had to swing back by to take a look at it and love the way it looks. Leading me to this video as a potential purchase in the future!

I’m only about 28. my opinion is, ride what makes you happy while you still can. There might come a day where your back or your knees go bad which takes that option away. Get the most out of riding while you can, I say.
