Keep it up and please make more of the funny clips ones too

Definitely will continue making shorts clips and clip compilations! As of right now things are slow due to the winter but should pick back up in a couple months

Looking to get an r6 as my first bike as a 5’7 dude kinda intimidated tbh but it’s videos like this that help me a lil thanks bro

I’m 5’5” and was amazed at how well it fit me for being taller than the gsxr 750 I had previously. Was a phenomenal bike with great balance of weight, power, and honestly comfortable too compared to the others I’ve ridden. Not too crazy to start on either, but not so little power that you’ll get bored in just a couple months like I did with my 250. I can’t speak on the newer stuff but that 04-05 is great to ride and easy to work on

I'm also 5'5" and started off on an 05 r6 back in September. Not a big fan of the riding position compared to my friends '13 zx6r but you get used to it. If you're worried about being too short, you'll learn to hang ya cheek off and put one leg down pretty quick. To echo what mr Uppies has also said, its not that bad to start on, under 7-8k its not much more powerful than a 400, you really have to rev these things out to feel the power and you'll feel more comfortable opening it up over time, just remember time and place!

How’s that zx6r? I’m thinking of giving one a try this upcoming season since it’s one I’ve not tried. Sport bikes I’ve had a 2000, 2004, 2007 gsxr 750, the 04 r6, and rode a buddies 03 cbr 600rr. CBR was stupidly uncomfortable imo. Been thinking about a newer gen zx6r though recently

if your 5/7 youll prolly be tiptoing a bit but youll be fine.

ur handel is damaged if u go straight it lens to left

So I actually noticed this and changed it out. I originally had gotten an 07 r6s clip on, which was slightly in more than the original r6 clip on. This bike was a rebuild that the original was snapped and it was $100 more for the proper one which was why I originally went with the r6s one. Forks and triple tree were all straight it was just the clip on being wrong
