im 17, have lots of driving expeirence and an overall good driver, I want to get into motorcycles and really drive any motor vehicle within my limits, would an r6 be a bad first buy for me?

[@brennick7647]

@@zachv1035 As long as you’re responsible with it, and exercise some caution ( especially when first starting) it’s not a bad idea. It has a lot of power to give so treat the throttle with respect and show some restraint. it should all go well. Now as far as a “first bike” it’s great in the sense you won’t grow out of it. Some people ride a 600cc bike and never upgrade, and tbh that’s completely rational. The R6 will handle whatever the road throws at you, and then some. But if you have never ridden a motorcycle in general or a sport bike more specifically, I would not make the R6 the first bike you ever ride. It is relatively light in terms of super sports. But the R6 particularly has a more aggressive riding position and a very reactive throttle. If your comfortable on bikes already, and have a Grasp on the basics of riding The R6 is great, and if your set on a 600 the R6 is the way to go.

Just do it. It will rapidly increase your reflexes and you'll be amazed because it really has excellent handling characteristics. 75 mph feels like 40 mph on it. I've only been up to 135 mph on mine and it was still pulling hard but I got scared and shut it down. It can get up there so fast you don't realize it. I knew I was travelling in excess of 100 mph but I was shocked to find I was doing 135 mph. Things were flying by me though pretty freakin fast when I think about it.

I've hit the top speed a good amount of times and have really given it the guts in the twisties, scrubbing off the remaining chicken strips my friend left behind and seriously pushing the bike to the limits. The fact I'm still alive is very likely a miracle in itself but I would hope to say that in this mere month I've owned this 600, I've progressed an impressive amount as a rider. The growth may not be as drastic as being a complete noobie on a 250, but I think I have what it takes to tame the beast

Lots of people track them so its easy to find information and parts. Its also just a great bike and lots of fun.

Scanning for gravel, oil slicks, inattentive drivers, cracks, potholes, corner radius changes constantly. It's about always knowing where the point of no return is and never crossing it. This isn't to say you can't own or use a truly fast vehicle, but you need to have the sensibility of Arnold in Terminator 2 scanning the road in his infrared vision to do it and come out alive. You need to understand tire grip, brake threshold, suspension travel, weight transfer, throttle control, and have all of your inputs trained to maximize each in any given scenario without conscious thought. Computers won't save you, either, those computers just allow you to go faster and faster before you run out of ability and it's too late for the computer to save you.

[@philithegamer8265]

And this is why high speed racing is a sport. The best drivers in the world are practically athletes.

[@noahpaez4266]

this is my 3rd bike, and i’m glad i waited. It’s truly great as a commuter and fun bike to putt around on, but i really did need a few thousand miles on a bike to build the discipline for this motorcycle. It’s painfully tempting with how smooth it gets above 8k rpm and the sound up there is just magical. Really amazing bike, but you need to be extremely honest with yourself about your limits. This bike *will* kill you, and i’ve had a friend die on an R6 when he pushed too far. Ride safe and enjoy this machine

[@efword1200]

Interesting that you emphasize the usable low end, when among supersports this bike has a reputation for having no torque but crazy top end power.

[@bbman10pwns]

I think it's because usable != wheelie power. It's got enough torque to be a pain in the ass to putt around in a city at sub 30mph speeds, but it won't wheelie in say, second gear, without dropping the clutch.

[@BigUriel]

I never quite got that argument. The R6 pulls like 500 if you keep the revs low, if you're buying it with the intent of keeping the revs low because it's too fast on the powerband, then why not just get the 500 in the first place?

[@verothacamaro]

It has the same acceleration as a Honda Civic at lower revs. That’s perfect for commuting.

@Morning Sun Sparkles Dew on fresh grass I flexed a few teens. It's kinda weird when you find out that you're older than their parents and it's a little embarrassing when those parents find out you've been flexing the shit out of their daughter for the past month. I live in a small town too. I figured out the key is to never look the parents in the eye if that happens. It's only happened once so far

[@QuakeGamerROTMG]

So did you buy an R6 or can you still walk and feed yourself?

[@hawaiinsurferx]

I never rode a bike in my life until At the end of 2016 I bought a 2008 Yamaha r6. Best decision of my life. Never been down *knock on wood*, and it's been my only vehicle for 2 years with about 15,000 miles of riding on it up to date. I rip that thing full throttle all the time too, it's just about when and where, and perceiving what can happen, and what to do if it does happen. I live in the Tampa Bay Area too which is about as populated as you can get. Ride Safe and choose the bike that you like and makes you feel comfortable. It's always ok to push the limits as long as it's not too much.

[@EminentLine]

For an 18 year old, fresh outta high school? Hell no, this is a terrible first bike, doesn't matter if they road dirt bikes all their life. But for someone in their mid-twenties or older? Sure, they're mature enough by then. I'd still rather start on a R3 though.

[@adubs.]

Bought my R3 at age 27. Having had dirt bikes as a kid but no real street experience I'm glad I stuck with something small. Theres been a handful of times where if I was on anything faster I would have ATE SHIT.

[@andriyshevchenko6689]

It's as if an 18 year old got a Huracan as a first car, except even worse because bikes are way "harder" to drive safe and much more punishing if you don't.

[@Galf506]

I'm no bike guy, but my personal reasoning is that if you want to learn how something works, you need to be able to learn on all its limits, lower and upper. If you can't handle a high revving engine that is not crazy powerful, starting on this is a stupid idea. Because you will learn how the bike handles at low rpm, but then once you reach the powerband you just die because you've never been on the powerband of a reasonable bike to understand what it means.

[@BambiOnDayZ]

I am 16 and I own a 2005 R6. I know I am not responsible enough to ride something with that much power. But I still love it!

[@ProdPxwolf]

I mean my first bike was a 98 fzr600 that I bought when I was 16, I'm 18 now just upgraded to a 03 cbr600rr and haven't died or crashed yet. I think it just depends on your mentality and you have to make sure if you're gonna do dumb shit find a desolate road or area with no traffic or pedestrians.

Got a CBR600RR as a “first big bike” aged 19 in 2010. Only just replaced it, downsized to a Ninja 400 as was so tired of the torture of commuting into the city on the CBR. With less than 500miles on the Ninja I can already tell that if I’d initially got something like it as my first bike I’d definitely be a better rider than I am now.

[@Bartonovich52]

Why would it be heavier? The wheels are the gyroscopes for stability.. and for sensing there are solid state gyroscopes smaller than a tic tac---like those in your phone. A half a dozen servos for throttle, brakes, clutch, steering.. and a bit of movable ballast for cornering.. and there you go.

I started on a R3 for about 8 months. Would have been longer but a coworker of mine purchased a GSXR750 for his first bike and I talked him into letting me ride it from the dealer to his home for him (as it was about a 25 minute hwy ride with traffic and I didn't want him to hurt himself). So, I had a buddy with a R6 who wanted me to practice on his bike first before I rode the larger bike lol. Met him at a park one night where we switched bikes and eventually took it on the hwy. Was amazed at how much faster it was over my R3. Just took a few minutes to get used to the weight and more aggressive position. Next day after work, I'm on my buddies 750 riding it to his place while he trailed me. Didn't take much to be going 100mph plus but felt nice. Ride successful, made it to his place in one peace. Next day (Saturday) me, him, and another buddy (who had experience on a 450 dirtbike) went out to let my coworker practice in a parking lot near his home. Before meeting them though, I stopped at the dealership I got my R3 from - left with a 2012 CBR 600 with about 4k miles only $5500. Trade in value for my R3 was just about what I paid for it since it was the same dealer. But anyway, never turned back lol. Looking back, the R6 still seemed slightly more intimidating than the gsxr 750 and my CBR for some odd reason. CBR felt a lot more comfortable and tamed in a way.

This is awesome. That was me many years ago. Everyone had 600cc or 1000cc so I bought an 05 r6 in 2007. It had frame sliders, nice exhaust, steering stabilizer and cleaned up turn signals. I pretty much never rode a motorcycle before. I drove a manual car and rode a dirt bike once around a friends yard but that was about it. My friend brought it home for me. Then we went out riding. Tried to do a tight turn a little into the ride and fell over (day one) lmao. Oh well it had frame sliders so no damage. A summer or two later I discovered that the steering stabilizer was turned all the way up. I always thought the bike was hard to turn and never realized that was causing the issues. I drove it pretty easy most of the time. Never wrecked. Usually didn't ride with people because they got goofy doing stunts Or it was too hard to keep up in the corners and I didn't want to push it. It was a nice bike. A lot of fun.

But when its 1am and no one is on the freeway all you can see is a black vortex ahead of you begging to squeeze the throttle and sink into the double bubble of trouble. 130mph+ arrives in the blink of an eye on these things. There are very few products in life which give you the exact expectation you desire before purchasing it. Because you cannot explain to someone the feeling of ripping up to redline in 2nd and 3rd gear on one of these bikes it's something they have to experience for themselves.
