Don't listen to anyone claiming that you can't start on a liter bike!!! 1)Get a restricted power liter bike or restrict it 2)Respect her ( you don't wanna die do you?) 3)Take your time to know her better. Don't rush!!! 4)Learn to control her weight ( manoeuvres gonna be difficult...) 5)Don't drive like jerks!!! 6)Consider that others spent so much money to buy slower bikes till they get to liter bikes :) 7)NEVER let others influence you to go fast!!!! Do it when you are already familiar with the bike( or you'll find yourself miserable about the costs of crashes both in money and pain) 8)Focus when driving and don't get distracted! Liter bikes are no joke 9)If you don't feel much comfortable and are on tight budget, do yourself a favour and get crash cage or other protection measures (plastics cost a lot) 10)Get proper riding gear 11)Enjoy your bike and be careful for a happy and painless driving experience

Yuuup. All of this.

[@camarochris78]

Disagree. Stop telling folks what they should not do. Just because you started out on a lower cc. My first bike is a 2018 cbr1000rr ABS. Power bands.

[@Jambuc829]

Christopher G You are crazy starting out on a bike like that could get someone killed or scare the shit out of them so that they don’t want to ride anymore. I would tell people to start out on a 350 or even 400 . Twist that throttle too hard and launch yourself into the damn shadow realm if you don’t know what the hell you doing.

[@gsxr1189]

Zero chance a beginner is capable of handling 1000cc torque and power and I don't buy the BS line about restricting the power that would last all of 10 minutes. If you want to start on 1000 then go right ahead but arms and legs don't grow back. When I lived in Florida under 21 aged riders were required to have white plates with red letters/numbers with "under 21" written on the plate. I don't recall ever seeing under 21 plates on a 1000 that hadn't been down bad enough to jack up all the plastics and make the bike look like a rat bike.

[@gsxr1189]

*A slow guy on a fast bike is still slow.* Skill cannot be bought and unless you do your time on a smaller bike you'll probably never learn to ride as well as you should be able to. You'll be the guy that's always losing drag races because you can't launch and the guy the that everyone else has to wait for on twisty canyon rides because you can't keep up.

Started in 2015 on a sv1000 (was looking for a 600 but the SV fit my budget at the time more) and eventually upgraded to a 06 gsxr1000 in 2017. Only wrecked once last year in the sequia mountains. But bought new fairings. The old cbr 900 series are nasty though. Highly recommend if you can find a good one

I started on my 899 Panigale with literally 0 experience, wouldn't change a thing. Was actually really easy to learn on since didn't have to shift too much at first, was able to focus on handling and throttle control. Quickshifter and auto-blipper also helped me focus on getting used to the bike itself before adding shifting to it as well (0 experience on manual as well)

That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing this. I wouldn’t have started on any other bike but the r6 so i feel u man!

110% right, you have the option on a S1000rr to lower the power so when you get better you can up it, you can't up the power on a 300cc bike. That alone should make you want to buy a s1000rr, well at least if you're intelligent.

Same thing with some gsxr

I agree you can’t up the power but you won’t be as upset if you slam a 300 into the ground several times during your learning curve. I bought a used ninja 400 and that bike slide on the ground more than a baseball player. Low side wrecks whiskey throttle panic braking you name it I did it. Now that I have experience and confidence in my riding I bought a 1000cc but I got my mistakes out of the way on a much slower bike.

[@jessecarter5571]

[@barcelonaboy425]

All im gonna say is, trust me, i know how it feels when you really want something and cant get it right away, i mean i was thrilled at just the idea of getting a motorcycle, so i got a ninja 300, and like for the first month i felt amazing, something new right but then i got bored of it, i knew that i wanted a zx6r, but then i started realizing the lengths id have to go through just to get it, insurance rates being stupidly high, the cost of the bike, so i took it for what it was worth maybe its just not the right time for me to get that bike, so i kept the 300 for like two years until i finally got a z1000, gotta im super thrilled but I completely understand why i did that now, it was almost like the universe was trying to tell me don’t get something out of your limits just yet, doesnt mean you can get something similar, play within the limits an be humble, cause dont forget, you can very well kill yourself riding these, so i waited patiently and did just that. The shit i learned just from the 300, like all that time i spent learning how to knee down and distribute weight, mechanics of a motorcycle, my own oil changes, spark plug changes, learning to just appreciate a machine right? its so much worth your while doing once you finally learn all of that in easier smaller bikes, and then when you finally get a bigger bike after waiting for a while because you can learn to appreciate a bigger motorcycle for what it is, i just dont understand how someone could completely feel hung on riding when theyve never done it, put the time into even knowing if something theyd be willing to get into, and end up like it for superficial reasons, everyone likes riding for their own reasons, but for me its way less fulfilling to want to ride just cause you wanna go fast, dont get me wrong i fucking love it too but you gotta know when to do things and when not to, starting to early on a bike like that is doable, but hard for even some of the most experienced, you cant even tap into the potential of that bike because the riding level youd be at, it wouldnt be enjoyable on the streets with a low riding level, it would just be a death machine tbh, at that point youre better off starting small, its not that no one thinks you cant, if anything we wanna see more riders, but we also dont wanna have our rates constantly because we get more guys getting litre bikes or even just super sports and crashing, its just the smartest thing to do and start small. yeah you can crash whenever and however using whatever bike, but why add an extra variable of instability to the riding/ learning experience, be it the weight difference of the bike, the power band, the steering, suspension, all of that shit matters when youre learning properly, you can still learn how to ride a bike, but to ride it like you know what youre doing and can be confident using something like that is a whole other ball game, just saying, especially when you’re flying on the highway, just saying 🤷🏽‍♂️ But hes not wrong saying you could start on something like that, but dont you think youd learn more starting small than you would jumping right into what exactly you want with no prior mechanical knowledge or appreciation for it? You can’t learn to run if you don’t know how to walk, just because you start with a 250/300 doesnt make you less of rider, if anything, id go to the track and see people shred on 300-500 ninjas and be proper riders, knee down, instead of these gixer goons who learned how to ride last week, its the player not the controller. I dont give a shit about tryna show what i know, i just give a shit about someone learning properly, so they not only raise my rates, but ultimately/most importantly dont seriously injury themselves to early on! 🙏🏽

Long but cool story. Good points man. I once got passed at the track like i was standing still on my r1m by an ex racer on an rc390 😂. She must’ve been in her late 40’s 😂😂😂. I’d still start on a 600 today though. But 300’s are great bikes.

While I love the R3 something fierce, I definitely should have held out a bit for a bigger bike! I agree with the maturity thing though too! If you know you aren't ready, start smaller but if you have some self control and learn quickly then yeah go for it! I do feel like I definitely learned a sportbike a little faster on the R3 than I would have on a bigger bike but still... I.... WANT.... MORE.... POWER!!! :)

[@adobomoto]

That’s the reason i didn’t start on a 250 back in the day. The r3 is a great bike though, but it’s nice to have that extra get up and go from a 600. If they had the options back then that they have now, i’d likely get the bike i want regardless lol

[@haileysxcomet]

@@adobomoto Yeah for sure! It really is and it is a ton of fun in the twisties but I feel like you can do just as well with a higher powered bike as long as you know how to ride properly :) I would definitely tell people who are looking to start to highly consider going bigger bike if they feel comfortable with it :) Like you said, with all the electronics (ABS, TC, launch control, power modes, etc), it really is a better value to start higher as to avoid buying bikes that will just depreciate in value losing you money in the long run, just one and done if you can :)

[@user-bg3ih6ci8l]

I started on a 95' Kawasaki Ninja ZX-11, and I'm finishing the restoration of the motorcycle on my own, it took me like 2 months of going to the empty streets nearby to get used to the throttle response and the weight. I would not recommend it, I haven't crashed or dumped the bike YET, but it's obvious that the danger is there (been almost a year now). I'm tall and can handle the weight, but it's not like it is easy. Now it is very rewarding to ride that bike but I acknowledge that I would be a better rider by now if I started smaller. It ain't impossible, but you gotta respect the machine, I use it to cruise like a HD owner would do, but if someone with a speed addiction gets a hold of a bike like that it will probably end up bad.

[@ldorman]

I bought myself a 2004 Suzuki SV1000 K3 as my first motorbike. I like sport cruisers, my fav. bike is the first gen Yamaha V-max but they relative expensive here, however I got the Suzi for £2k and it is in mint condition. She's naked with some mods like handlebar and rear suspension and due that feels a bit more like a cruiser (weird I know). The interesting thing for me, all my British friends telling me that I'm nuts, starting on a 1000cc Sports Tourer, all my continental European friends say, it depends on the bike. I looked up the stats for a newer 650s from Suzuki, it's only 0.3sec slower than the 2004 SV1000 if it comes to acceleration. Granted, it does have less torque, but I did watched a few videos and even the guy selling me the 1000 had a 650 as well and said the difference is more in weight and the wider frame. Let's see if the bike is a widow maker or not.

I tried riding a from after already having experience with my fz6... if i'm being honest the from felt extremely unsafe for some reason.

It's 1000cc and while i'm one of the safest riders and i'd never do anything stupid, im wondering if it'll be too heavy and powerful to safely handle with little experience. Im 6 foot and 190lb so I can probably handle the weight. I really feel like I wont find a deal like this on my dream bike and any decent sv650 or ninja is easily over 3k in my area.

R6-R1 the major differences are the weights in between them and also the speed limit on them after 80mph and up, the 1000cc will keep going harder. Just 2 things; don’t drop the clutch and don’t crank on the throttle. Bend your wrist back before grabbing the throttle at a comfortable position to prevent using it as a pull bar and you’ll learn it’s control. That’s all.

This is currently me. 0 experience with a bike, but I just bought my dream bike. A 2018 Yamaha MT-10. I pick it up in a week and I’m gonna be spending a lot of time in the parking lot practicing everything possible

[@niftyhacker]

So how's it goin'?

[@huh0123]

It’s been almost 2 weeks homie how’s it going?

[@ghostman52621]

I started on a gixxer 750 and at first it was scary but you have to learn how to control yourself and now move your wrist to much but is it possible to start on a bigger bike yes all you have to do is learn how the bike is first so go to parking lots and practice before you go on roads

[@SylasWojciechowski]

Only real issue is that they are heavy. Its harder to corner slowly on a heavy bike. Practice in a parking lot a lot if you decide to state on a 1000. I still think its not smart to start from scratch on a 1000. Start with a 250, then if you really want, get a 1000. You need to know the basics before you make it hard on yourself. Also know that there is nothing wrong with a smaller bike. My 250 ninja is just as fun as my BMW 1100. BMW is faster at accelerating, but the ninja is more nimble, it just depends on what you want.

[@jayjayxpxd]

Quick question, in first gear once I get the bike moving just by using the clutch and no throttle. Can I let go off the clutch fully then give it throttle? Or do I throttle and then let go off the clutch fully?

[@adobomoto]

jay jay depends. Some bikes work that way. I can cruise in traffic by feathering the clutch in 1st on my 1299.

[@jayjayxpxd]

Adobo Moto yeah Caz I experienced the whiskey throttle, now I’m just holding onto the clutch trying not to lock and up grab the throttle send the bike flying.

[@jayjayxpxd]

Adobo Moto so if the bike is already going 4-5 mph off the clutch I can stop feathering the clutch and let go fully without throttle and the bike won’t shut off or jump forward?

[@adobomoto]

jay jay yeah man, i can do it from a stop too, long as i don’t completely drop the clutch all at once, i can feather it til it starts rolling and let it go and keep rolling

[@nickjones9255]

Thank you so so much, I’m looking at getting started on a 18’ CBR1000RR right now and this really really helped. I love how the newer bikes have the power restrictions and electronic aids for learning and being 6’5” I really don’t fit on a 300 and a 600 is a bit of a squeeze. Always been a Honda guy and love how these newer bikes make it easier for someone to get started and go from motocross to a street bike

[@adobomoto]

yeah fam. as long as you're a responsible adult and are mature enough, you can't go wrong starting big! congrats in advance!

[@LGR_LGR_LGR]

I think it's easy for an experience rider to think everyone can ride what they ride,but the truth is you are going to make mistakes as a learner ,do you want that mistake to be on a larger bike,or a smaller cc bike, i made a few mistakes, but I'm glad i started on a 250cc. (Ride safe 🏍)

[@adobomoto]

Lubear 21 absolutely. Absolutely man! It definitely is up to each person to decide..i know i couldn’t do it when i first started. But looking at the options we have now for 1000cc’s i think i would definitely choose a 1000 for myself.

[@MADLITS1K]

you nailed it. people think because they can do it everyone else could when it’s just not the case. Not everyone pays attention, learns as quick, will be comfortable in the same amount of time as you etc.. riding is different for everyone .. my first time on the freeway I wanted to sell my bike afterwards bc I was that shook meanwhile other guys buy their first bike get on the freeway and do 100+ on the way home

If the speed is gonna kill you, the 400cc difference isn't what did it. A 600 will kill you just as easy as a 1000cc and the liter bikes have hella safety technology on them

[@adobomoto]

Lol, i can crash a litre bike just as easy as any other bike. No technology will save me 😂

[@yaboifrostyyy871]

I was referring to wheelie control, traction control and all that stuff

[@adobomoto]

YaBoi Frostyyy i know what you meant. i turn off what i can and leave whatever i can’t turn off at the lowest setting. Im with the half that believes control is in the rider and not the bike. Although rear brake abs is the shit! From a 160+ straight into a 20mph turn, you can really mash the rear without locking! Love it. Late brake for days

[@Jambuc829]

I mean by that logic you could die in a Nissan Altima or a Lamborghini I still wouldn’t tell someone to learn how to drive on a Lamborghini. You twist that throttle too much on a 1000cc bike and it could be game over. Also the price as a newbie id rather get my laying the bike down leaning curve out the way on a used 400 and when I get my confidence and skills up then go out and buy a litter bike but I mean if you got deep pockets where you can afford to fuck up a $15k bike and not care then by all means go ahead.

I would never advise anyone to start on more than a 650 - I started on a hornet 600 and am alive by the skin of my teeth. My personality though is someone who will push the limits of whatever they are riding. So a modern 1000 would be a disaster as I would have high-sided. Some people really don’t know what’s good for them. I now ride an 1100 v4 like I stole it and that’s great as I have all the experience of other bikes under my belt... If you want to start on an 1100 v4 then do but I don’t think it’s the best way to become a great rider. And, no one can stop you doing what you want - my saying is ride hard - ride safe

Now i feel very confident in my bike and my abilities to handle this monster I have and I made it even faster than it was already.

[@stanza77]

You can start on a 1000cc bike in general because they’re not all the same thing like the guy in the Comments who started on a Suzuki VStrom 1000. Could be. Something tame like a cruiser. That’s not the same as a BMW S1000rr! Or ZX10r or a SuperDuke! The thing is you can start on a 1000cc superpsport ,and not die, but it doesn’t mean you are good at it. Something smaller is a better teacher because it’s more forgiving as it’s likely going to be lighter and lower with less torque it doesn’t need to be a 300cc with only 30hp but it should be light & Midwest power/torque so u can learn the fundamentals. If you don’t know them, you’re just going to drop your very expensive liter bike.

Ngl starting on a 1000cc isn't bad it's what you do on it that's bad. So many people tell me not to start on a 1000cc but they're so many electronic aids in these newer bikes to the point where you can restrict power (aka; traction control) to the point where it's impossible for that front end to raise and besides why not get a 1000cc because you're already get used to it just like every bike under 1000cc like a 250cc or a 600cc. Be responsible and take it easy for a few months. It's the rider not the bike 🤙

This is what I was thinking. Most of the people know if they're ready for 1000cc as a first bike. Except those very few 18-20 years old kids that just want to flex and think that bikes will get them pussy, which is absurd. They usually get scared and they sell the bike. But most of the people that get their license a bit later know well if liter bikes are for them or not. I think that the standard "don't get a liter bike because they're too fast" argument is laughable because if you don't have self control and cannot handle a liter bike, I highly suggest that you don't get ANY bike. Actually that applies for a car. Self control is very important in ANY vehicle no matter of the horsepower.
