Fist bike a 900? Way to heavy

Just follow basic rules Never trust any other vehicle on the road Don’t accelerate hard mid or 2 thirds into a corner, only give it when you are on the exit straight line. Don’t brake suddenly , always gently squeeze the brakes then apply harder pressure , including emergency stops else you slide front wheel and or lock or buck the back wheel . Don’t learn to wheelie without traction control on . Learn to ride first . Go the pace you are comfortable with , don’t crash because you wanted to keep up with other bikes , or look slow in front of motorists , who cares your first crash could hurt you or kill you , better looking like a learner than end up in hospital ….the other riders /drivers couldn’t give a fig and won’t visit you . Practice for hours in a deserted parking lot , mastering your accelerator , brakes and clutch operation . Practice emergency braking . Read up watch , you tube videos on correct emergency braking , trail braking and normal braking procedures. Never take your eyes off an upcoming corner once you are near the corner , you can look through it towards the apex and exit point and to the next corner , don’t look in your rear mirror before a corner😮 Wear light colours , espescially in the rain , imagine black helmet , black jacket , black pants , the bitumen is black , the clouds are grey black …you can become invisible to all the distracted car drivers . Learn how to stop on hills and know how to use the front brake to hold your bike on a hill , if you can’t reach the rear brake due to camber of hill.Its tricky you have to give a fair measure of accelerator and clutch on a steep incline to get going again . Always concentrate 100 per cent on your ride, don’t ride if you are upset , angry , or intoxicated . Good luck there are heaps of other things to learn .

No more vlogs? Did u keep riding or hang it up?

How u got ur license then? Which country?

Great riding style brother. Loved the video. Great commentary too. Then you have the guy crossing the yellow to blindly going into a turn on the inside of a corner. Makes zero sense.

i just came back from big meadow and i could not do this hike (im new to hiking) so its nice to see how it is

Bro that looks like me when I started😅 hell, I was damn near hyperventilating in the first 2 weeks😅

Is it normal for the rev meter to be blinking just like that even when not speeding

How easy can you get a license in the U.S? They let you pass the test riding like this?

Is there no "test" there then?

Bro I feel so bad for you watching this. It must have been pure pain, but you fucking did it bro I'm so god damned proud of you! EDIT: This was a year ago, I hope your still riding and have gained alot of confidence since!

Why? No point taking a thing that intinidates you: you won't master it. Start from the bike you're comfortable with then learn from there. I would get z900 after 30-40k miles riding sub-600 bikes. It's just too powerful to make use of and no point getting a bike if you can't utilise it.

Drop the music!

I remember the first time I rode a motorcycle home from a dealer. Even with years of experience for some reason it’s still such a nerve racking experience. You did awesome, stalling is part of the learning curve and you learned fast! Enjoy 2 wheels!

the US should really enforce actual riding lessons before giving away free licenses. In Europe you wouldn't be allowed to drive like that

I went from a 125 to this, omg, I was just like you getting use to the bike when I picked it up. I got them to put it in 55% power mode and went Rain mode steadily home….two months later…my knees scraping on corners, I use full power mode and Sport most times now. Hope you still got the bike and enjoy it. 👍

Why arent you change the exhaust into the loud one, you know z900 is loud. Especially arrow. Its not that expensive

So privilege that my guys in colder-climate countries can idle the bike or ride the bike very slow in a tight parking lot, in where I say where the temperature is often reach more than 32 deg.cel. (89F), I have to immediately go to a bigger & longer road which is rarely used by other vehicles in order to reach at least 70km/h (43.4mph) to keep the engine cool. Have to be extra2 careful to be a beginner for a 600+ cc bikes.

2:35 its because you are shifting gears up when you don't have to . you can easily ride in 50-60kmph speed on second gear just like this shit the the gear when you are on the high speed of that particular gear, not the peak but atleast at average speed of that gear. practice will teach you this

Drop bike is not a big deal, that's how we started 😂 keep going man, can't wait to see you ride again

😂dude z900 is a beast, you ride it like a kitten

I feel better that i bought a z900 with 0 hours riding a motorcycle now LOL. Stuck it in low power mode with all the TCS for a while. I am thankful at least that my daily is manual so just learning the grab point was the biggest challenge, that and braking independently

I'm interested in an update, do you still ride?

Dude you need to seriously start on a smaller bike more beginner friendly bike.

I remember this day like it was yesterday and so will you! Great ride man! Ride your own ride, dress for the crash not the ride. Congrats on the bike! Be safe out there!

Man wish lived around me, could of helped and had a riding partner, I bought the same bike last sat. Keep it up, you'll get it

Me having to start on a 125 and had to do 2 very strict tests to get my license... Dutch rules are way to strict, but that you can ride everything in america with a permit is just stupid. Nothing against you ofc, doing very good for such short experience.

well i am not alone.!! 😂

Fuck, I thought I was bad...

It's good that there was no traffic on the other side.

21:15 The rider in front showed you with his leg that there is danger in front.😅

Very nice bike. It is good that you started in Rain mode. You'll get used to it pretty soon, just build up the hours and munch up the kilometres.

You were afraid to lean it. I suggest you go to a big empty parking lot and practice leaning the bike. Practice uturns and leaning in. Once you lose that fear you would love riding your bike more and have even more fun.

Not bad for a first ride. Nothing wrong with riding on the parking lot for the first 10 minutes. Always good to get a feel for the bike first. Doesn't matter if that takes you 1 minute or 1 hour. Safety first.

Good vid, you've learned pretty good but a good advice from me as a advanced rider, never stop in the middle of lane so you can have an escape route in case a vehicle is not paying attention to the road ahead, always when at a stop you need to go to the left or right from the same lane. Also it'll be good if you take the mfs course, that'll help you a lot more on your riding skills even though you riding pretty good for just a few hours of riding. Have fun and ride safe brother and welcome to the riders family.

I been riding a 2023 Z900 SE for about a year. It is my fifth bike. So easy to ride, and I've often thought it would be OK for a beginner, because the seat is quite low and everything is smooth and easy. Looks to me that your clumsiness at first was just lack of familiarity wih bikes in general: not because of lots of power. Anyway, it was satisfying to see you get started on a bike you will not outgrow in 3 months, or ever. Thanks for posting this!

Hey rider, congrats on your new bike. I'm also getting the same exact 1 like yours. You did pretty good for just starting to ride, just take your time and lots of practice. Always remember to always look where you going in order the bike will go where you look. Also when stopping at a light or stop sign always stop on right or left side of lane so you can have a see an escape route. I started riding about 30 years ago but stopped about 5 or 6 years when my kids were babies and started again about 2 years ago. I rode mini bike to 600cc bikes back then and about 2 years ago I bought a '21 Z400 and now I'm looking at a bike that is exactly the same as yours. About the mfs course don't worry much that you didn't pass it, not everyone passes on the first try. I also took the course and failed it the first time and took again about 6 months after and passed it, and in those waiting months I rode my bike, I also rode it way before I got my permit. Anyway, ride safe and have fun and always dress for the slide and not for the ride.

It’s good to see someone riding normally and not full throttle 😂

This video gave me so much anxiety to watch 😬 Good for you though, just keep practicing. I've been riding my honda shadow 750 for 3 years. In july i bought this exact bike, same color delivered with 0 miles. Been loving it ever since. The shadow feels so slow now it's comical.

I love how you went from 3rd to 5th instead of 4th lol 😭 10:15

Did you ever ride in road or sport mode?

Nice, dude, I like your sense of humor, ride safe, this bike is awesome !

I'm hoping that you dust yourself off and get back on the horse.

Keep up the riding brother, just got a 2020 Z900, got a full Austin racing exhaust system. She’s a beast. Been watching your vids, your confidence is visibly growing from video to video. Just stay relaxed and trust the bike! 😊

“I didn’t stall the sound just turned off” 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 safe riding bro I want one of these for next summer my last bike was a 1200 sportster been looking at these nakeds for the past year

I just got mine last week. Same model with yours and same color. I don't have my full license yet and I only had my permit. My riding experience was in the Philippines, It's my first time to ride a motorcyle over here in the US but I made it I brought it home. So much fun riding this z900

Wow that is very dangerous man! You need to learn on a 125cc first. You need lots of practice before going into the streets! You have no control at all!

hello sire can yout tell me what gear you use ( camera and mic ) ( helmet gloves ) and tnx

keep going brother

care full men thats 900cc
