I'm technically a beginner bro. Went from a 600 to a 1300 hayabusa in 6 months I respect my bikes. And don't drive over 70 in traffic 💯💪🏽

That’s a hell of a upgrade man! I see you ain’t playin 💪🏾💯💯

Beautiful bike. I wish I fit on one. I sat on one before buying my ZX4RR. I have short legs and short arms. I even lowered my ninja by about an inch to be more confident on. No regrets though. I'm getting that sport bike feel and can use all the power most of the time. The GSX-R 750 still was what I really wanted but I'm happy.

[@ryxncb]

Nice bike man, I got a ‘21 ZX6R this past November for my first bike and I love it. Learned a lot and I’m a very confident rider now but still respecting the bike is key

[@chillwithkea]

Thanks man. The 21 ZX6R is really nice. It’s great that you’re still respecting the bike. That’s definitely important

[@pleasedontwatchthese9593]

I always tell people to go smaller. It's just safer advice. Like if someone is ready for a bigger bike the worst that happens is they switch bikes to a bigger one. But if someone not ready for a big bike gets one the worst that can happen is they lose a lot of money or get hurt or worse. I just hate to be the person who tells someone something that gets them hurt

[@jackboi2saucy408]

I think u forget these mfs aren’t free most ppl don’t have 4-10k to toss around for bikes

[@pleasedontwatchthese9593]

@jackboi2saucy408 you buy a bike to learn on first then sell it to recupe the cost. If you buy used you can often get your money back. I know like 5 people who have done exactly this. Some who have even made money.

[@c1fi364]

its not safer, you cant learn throttle control or disiplin on a 400, you need to learn on something big to be safe, you need smaller bikes to learn the foundation of slow speed manuevers.

[@offthewallsurfer1]

Here’s my take on this subject, I’m a Harley Rider, but I have a soft spot for Sport bikes. My old man taught me how to ride on his R1 back in the day when I was 14, grant it, it was in a big stadium parking lot, and then we rode through side streets. Honestly you can be a beginner on any bike, whether it’s a scooter or a Hayabusa, the point is, you have to respect the machine and know your limitations. We don’t get paid like professional motorcyclists, so why ride like one? At the end of the day, you can get bit on a Harley just as much as you can on a sport bike, do what makes you happy, just be careful. I hope that helps. Nice GXSR-750 btw, that sounds sweet!

theres only A and B mode. A mode is 100 % of power all the time. B mode just slows the throttle input when opening throttle. the top end speed is the same.

I don't know man, I'm a true beginner(never rode anything other than a 50cc scooter before) and decided to start on a Suzuki GSR600 which is like a naked detuned GSXR600 and the thing scares the shit out of me, GSXR750 is a very serious bike. Depends from person to person I guess.

[@jatollar]

Contrary to popular opinion beginners should probably not ride a race bike. Buy a used 250, get all your beginner mistakes out of the way like accidental throttle over bumps and dropping your bike, then get a race bike.

[@chillwithkea]

Can’t disagree with that 💯

[@justobserving4862]

my first bike was a 650, not crazy high in the revs like a 600 but powerful enough. i think just respect the bike, don't be careless. i went full throttle trying to pass this car while i was more inexperienced and almost got thrown off the road. even now i haven't tested the limits of my bike. i think whatever bike you get just slowly learn its limits

[@chillwithkea]

@@justobserving4862 agreed 💯

[@misero6130]

Then you upgrade to a bigger bike and think it will handle like a 250

[@jatollar]

@@misero6130 I didn't have any trouble switching at all. I think once you have enough experience riding is riding. It's the same principle as every kid who races, they start with a motorcycle that suits their capabilities and upgrade when they have the skill to do so.

first ever comment but genuinely curious i’m 6’9 260 ish and wanting to get a motorcycle soon is there anything you could recommend that would be a good beginner bike i’m going for my permit the day i can much appreciated.

[@chillwithkea]

I appreciate your comment! With your height and weight, you’ll definitely need something bigger. Any 1000cc sportbike and cruiser for sure. When you take your motorcycle road test, you’ll want something smaller for the turns but after that, you may want a Kawasaki ZX-14 or a Suzuki Hayabusa. You’ll feel really comfortable on those bikes for sure 💯

[@glowingscreens5848]

MT07 is the answer. im 6’6 240 and have room on the seat left. you dont want a 1000cc sport bike as your first bike for the same reason you dont want a new luxury car for your first car.

Hey do you think a Gsx 750 ( If ridden in C mode ) Is a good beginner bike for a college kid ( denver ) ?

So pretty, what state are you in, I bought one and learned, as long as you learn how to brake, you’ll be ok.

@@julieherbst4445 this is awesome Julie! And I’m in South Carolina. Yeah, it’s that good weather (for the time being) lol but ultimately, as long as you can control your throttle and learn as much as possible in a parking lot and preferably learn with someone. You should be fine

@@israellarranaga8392 not a problem! The 750 is plenty of power for the street. It’s gonna depend on what you want to do. If you’re gonna be roll racing definitely go 1000. But most people will get the 1000 to hold onto for years. That way, they don’t have to keep upgrading. Lastly, it will strongly depend on your experience level.

Hey quick question. You got any tips on buying used gsxr 750? Is there any things i should watch out for?

[@chillwithkea]

Just your normal things like brake pads, see if she’s been dropped, and how the tires look. If the bike has the cat deleted but feels sluggish, the previous owner never got the ECU flashed. That’s the main thing to look for. Make sure the oil isn’t too dark as well

​@@chillwithkea Something with far less power and more relaxed geometry. An SV650 is a good starter bike that you can grow into a bit. Want more aggression? Convert to clip-ons or throw on other aftermarket bars. Other similar bikes like the Ninja 650 and CB500 are also good for beginners and give a little more sportiness out of the box.
