Having owned both the Yamaha R1 and R6 now, I wanted to talk about reasons why a 600cc is better than a 1000cc. Especially now that I plan on selling my R6 to get another liter bike. Should you get a 600cc bike motorcycle instead?

lol. Well he also explained that even though a 600 makes more rational sense than a 1000, bikes are about more than just rational sense, they're (for a lot of people, perhaps not everyone) even more about joy and desire and sense be damned. And joy and desire change over time, it fluctuates. Might as well just go with it and enjoy whatever makes you happy at any given time, as long as you can afford it. I wish I could have more bikes and swap bikes more often, but my wallet won't let me right now.

12 reasons why I need four 600cc bikes and four 1000cc bikes. Let's make that video okay.

[@Photogromer]

My first bike was a 2002 GSXR 600 followed by a GSXR1000 some years later. Loved the 600 so much more, so nimble, you can rip it without feeling totally out of control, throw it side to side in turns, just a fun bike to ride.

[@thomassykes8973]

The GSXR 1000 is on the same chassis as a 600

[@Stratocasterhead51]

@@thomassykes8973 Yes, but the mass difference is very noticeable. Also engine inertia is very noticeable the bigger your engine

[@cosmicsealgaming]

“You don’t need a 1000 in the street” is like telling a Harley rider “you don’t need a 114 ci bike”

[@AzeveidoMateus]

It’s nothing like that at all. A 114 is not nearly powerful enough to be too much for public roads. It was designed for public roads. A literbike breaks every speed limit in the US in first gear.

[@foundryx6697]

I've had my 600 for over a year and I still love it. Its still just as satisfying as it ever was, but I could see myself getting a 1000 at some point down the line.

[@ricersexposed1122]

Yessss!! I miss the days of the r1 daily 100 ! Haha keep it up man im here even if you were on a 125cc bike lol

[@eliastaindl8924]

U doing this vid to sell the r6 easier?😂

[@duledule4633]

Haha

[@brendon080909]

It's not hard to sell the R6.. nice call though 🤣

[@equalizer4633]

Still think a GSXR750 with power mods is the way to go:) Handling of a 600 and power of a 1000

[@Motosthetic]

Equalizer very true brother that bike is the best daily rider super sport in my opinion as well as the Triumph Daytona 675r

[@antoine9283]

That's what I have its perfect a 1000 still starts pulling away a little at the top of its 3rd gear

[@LEPLA13]

That's why I got my Triumph Daytona 675

[@mitchregal]

If your planning on hanging onto that S1000RR for a long time. M version. Can always keep stock parts aside, and customise still. If the bike does turn into a collectable or hold good value. Drop stock parts back in.

[@xbassxbassow4881]

Yamaha R1M 2018 is my dream motorcycle

[@Turbotuberx3]

I prefer my power band to be more forgiving of my lack of rider skill.. an R1 makes me look like a pro.

[@88SpeedJunkie]

Just picked up an 18 R1 a few months ago so happy

[@88SpeedJunkie]

@JayStaxks really depends on your riding experience and self control it's really easy to get stupid on a 1000

[@88SpeedJunkie]

No easiest way to describe it is VIOLENT definitely fun but very easy to go to far a 600 would be better to start on than a 1000 but still know first and foremost respect it even a 600 supersport is very fast for a first bike bit it's manageable just take your time and don't push your limits to far

[@88SpeedJunkie]

My R1 goes 0 to 180 mph in under 30 seconds and go do over 80 in first gear when I say violent I'm talking about the acceleration and torque I can get well over 120mph in the short distance of a highway on ramp

[@benjaminjensen3196]

@JayStaxks You're definitely brave (arguably stupid) to even start on a 600.

[@kpeacock300]

I'm also a new owner of an 18 R1 and it's my first bike I've owned.. not the first I've ridden but that's not the point. If you respect your machine and gain knowledge and skill and ride accordingly you will be fine. My bike is totally streetable but at the same time I pull over and put it into mode A with launch control on and I'm going 100+ in sub 4 seconds. So take it as you wish, I think my bike sounds insane and feels so much like a 600 as far as being able to flick it around but at the end of the day just dont ride over your head. Not many of us (myself included) get paid to ride fast. So just ride safe and grow with your bike

[@zellnix8456]

Getting my first 600cc tomorrow. 2005 cbr600rr :D

[@michlep258]

how are u finding it

[@timothykeys9597]

Yooo my first bike was a 2005 SV650s and my second (and current) bike is an R6!!! Crazy!!!

[@RevBomb600]

I ride with a bunch of Harley guys and im currently on a CBR500R and soon will be selling it and upgrading to the 600RR. Everyone keeps telling me to just go up to the 1000RR but they dont realize the power difference. They just hear im going from 500cc to 600cc not realizing im going from 47hp to 100hp vs their 87 hp Harleys

[@miniknights]

I really enjoyed all your R6 videos. Your mods videos helped me decide what mods I want for my 2019 R6. Glad you're moving up to something you really want, and I'm glad you enjoyed the R6 so much over the past couple years. Cheers!

The only reason i stay away from a bigger bike is here in canada the insurance go by 0-500, 500-1000cc’s anything under the 500 cc you’re looking at $300 a month, and the 1000cc bikes would run you $800 a month. If our insurance wasn’t so expensive i would go over that 500cc.

[@AMomcilo1]

I would get the M S1000RR, I always wanted carbon fiber rims on my bike.

[@RiderZer0]

If you’re doing track riding a 600 will save you a ton of money on tires. I’m not talking about the price difference on the size. That low end torque is awesome but you’ll use up more rubber. My 600 tires last twice as long as a 1000

I'd be buying the 'M' just for the carbon wheels. That much weight loss down low makes one hell of a difference in the handling dynamics of the bike. If you track, you'll appreciate it.

[@deseandudley281]

It’s good to see you staying active with the video content lately.. keep em coming! I just sold my 2015 superduke 1290r and my 2016 zx10r krt edition both to woods fun center and put my deposit on a M model Bmw s1000rr (can’t wait!).

DeSean Dudley damn man. You had the best of both worlds. I would not have made that deal for the s1000rr. Nonetheless, i appreciate all types of bikes. Hope you enjoy the new bike!

[@deseandudley281]

Rence Fabian thanks man! It’s nice having multiple bikes, but at the end of the day (you can only ride one)... my duke actually sat around more then my zx10r did.. I noticed I was riding my sport bike more.. no point in the payment or insurance on a bike sitting in the garage... we shall see.. if I decide to go a different route, the deposit is refundable and I could also look into a cruiser to be more comfortable and bring my girlfriend along with me.. choices! Lol

[@Rncfbnx]

DeSean Dudley you’re right man. Choices choices ! I do agree with your point. You can only ride one at a time. Whatever you buy/ride, I hope you enjoy it more than the last time haha. As long as we’re riding we’ll be good brother

[@deseandudley281]

Rence Fabian agreed! Thx bro! The duke raised a lot of attention and was always a conversation starter (didn’t get that vibe with the zx10r as it looks like any other sport bike, lol!)... the duke was unique for sure..

[@prestonlyle]

good vid, I managed to scoop up an 04 cbr 1k for $2300 as my first bike and honestly I'm glad I didn't get a 600, yeah with a full tank it weighs like 460lbs but the bike feels planted at 120+ and I'm not too interested in tracking the bike or twisties but for me it's not hard to throw the weight around and I'm only 6ft 140lbs. overall it's a great bike for what I'm into, straight-line speed.

[@andyjackson5]

i rode a 2006 zx6r for around 7 years (it was my first bike), i now have a 2011 zx10r and it’s alot more confidence inspiring as it feels a bit heavier and that makes it feel a bit more planted on the road, you don’t really feel like the wheels are gonna slide out from underneath you. plus it’ll do everything the zx6r will do and more and has ktrc and power modes. it’s all down to personal choice at the end of the day. there is no right and wrong answer. stay safe 👍🏻 love your videos

[@FCVictorio]

I had a GSXR 750, lost it in a wreck. Bought a S1000rr and never looked back. Crazy how it weights near the same as my 750 yet has more power. To be honest I tell people when they buy their first bike it's not gonna be pretty. You're going to drop it, it's a learning bike. Once you feel comfortable riding then go up.

[@FreDCBelgium]

point 2 : is really on the bike , kawasaki zx10r and honda cbr1000rr have higher steering so its more comfortable to than the r1& even the r6 for comparison. point 3 , live in europe insurance is cheaper since you can write down the big bikes on 100hp on paper. point 5 : power is your right hand and they all have power modes now . I would never say to start on a 1000 because the power will blow you away , but after years of exp and once you get that 1st liter bike the power is so addictive .

I never rode a 1000cc, but I've had a ZX-6R for two weeks and still in low power mode, I think it's pleeenty enough for the street hahah. Had a Ninja 300 for 4 seasons prior to that. One thing I've heard though is that it's easier to tap into the fun zone of the rev range of a 600 and really push it (mostly due to the shorter gearing) and that's a lot of fun on its own. I'd love to try a liter bike, but I feel like it's sort of a lazy powerhouse on which you can just roll on hard from any gear at like 5000 rpm, which, granted, some people may like!

[@T0bimaru]

I can see your point. I have a Bandit 1250S that's roughly 540lbs. The torque and speed are nice, but I can absolutely see the advantage of hopping on a 380-450lb 600cc instead. It would feel like a feather, and still a lot of speed. Maybe something in-between, a 750 or 900 of some variety as long as it's LIGHT!

That shifting triggers me harder than the blinker

[@fractal4284]

I love my mt09 it is the perfect balance of sport and cruising the riding position is great for longer rides

[@mooiboyace]

And it’s a load of fun

[@adyefect]

it's just an amazing bike

[@grachoderunwiderstehlichen]

1000cc ,sometimes it is not for need to downshift only move the hand and people are in leading position

[@json216]

#1 has to be insurance..people grow up and check your finances before your engine size...200 a month for ins...and 200 month for pymt..o dont get 1 ticket

[@joeyfettuccini6509]

Alright so don’t Yeet on me but why do you only use the clutch part of the time?

[@jamesgarrett2568]

Joey, the bike has a quick shifter so you don’t need to use the clutch

[@joshOfive]

i was one of those riders who wanted a 1000 as a first bike, and let me just say no matter how good you thing you are growing up on dirt bikes and such YOU CANT HANDLE 1000CC 3 of my friends and i all rode dirt bike growing up and where comfortable on bikes and a 600 is plenty! and cheaper so do your self a favor and get a 600 max as your first bike

[@t-train6534]

Yeah the thing about 600cc for me is that in a year I’m going to want to go faster by adding exhaust and tune the whole shabang but with a 1000 I won’t get bored in a year I know when I twist the throttle it will be a warp hole to another universe

[@paintslinger1045]

I've only rode a 600 & 750, but a 600 is more than enough bike. Go with the M.

[@mooiboyace]

My favorite bike is the 1199 Panigale but I totally agree, lower CC bikes are so much more fun, and to me fun is all what motorcycles are about.

[@take2wheels556]

I am 50 years old and have 3 different motorcycles.I have a 2016 Yamaha R1,a 2009 Ducati Monster 1100,and a 2015 Triumph Speed Triple 1050.600s are great my first bike was a 600 back in 93 that's what I took my road test on.A 1000 allows you to be in any RPM with tons of power and Torque to get you safely and quickly accelerating anytime anywhere.600s you really have to work nothing drives me more crazy when hearing someone on the expressway riding at 10 thousand RPMs.I could never use all the power on a 1000 but it sure is fun.My insurance is cheap as shit 26 years riding with no accidents or tickets.The 1000s these days have so many power modes.I let a friend who rode 600s only I started him on my weakest mode then gave him my aggressive setting.My ECU is flashed.Guess who sold his 600 to buy an R1.

[@mooiboyace]

Christopher TheBigKid Sure it’s more usable, and power always is good. But riding a motorcycle to the full potential on a good mountain road is what really brings a smile to your face. If you started on a 600 you already missed the 250’s, 400/450’s etc. But well riding in America I can see a liter bike makes more sense than over here on the other side of the pond.

@@mooiboyace I use the monster in the Mountains here.We have a lot of technical roads.I live in North GA.I'll send you a video of my last ride.My friend was chasing on his Harley.Fast forward to 9:00 more spirited riding starts.I never pass cars on double solids We got stuck behind some cars when the roads open to passing then I take advantage.

Christopher TheBigKid Cool video ! That is the straighest mountain road I have ever seen though, no doubt the Monster is in it’s natural habitat. Mountain roads over here are just tiny (sometimes one way) roads with hundreds of hairpins where even a 600 would be on the heavy side.

[@Kilicantplay]

100% worth it to pick up the s1000rr "m" while the diferrences don't seem that much they definitely add up over the base model. Unless you're buying it with cash as well it'll be cheaper than buying the parts seperately since you can get a nice deal on the finance :D from looking at a few videos people have done it seems pretty competative to the HP4 Race except 1/3 the price. Definitely the best sports bike to buy right now

[@captaina4458]

If it’s your first superbike then start off with a 600cc. I’d say 50k riding miles is good enough to then upgrade to a bigger bike. If you can handle the 1000, then get it. You’ll be thankful you did.

[@Keyboardbeatz]

I went from a 125cc to R1 lol. Kinda wish I got a 400 then 600 first to explore the limits

[@walther89]

z1000 is fine i dont know why for beginner but i love it :D

[@nickn8564]

i mean the too powerful for the street is a bit of an ambiguous argument ... its completely environmentally based. if you live in small town Canada where the speed limits are 40km/hr, highways are 80km/hr, not many twisty roads and the insurance companies discriminate against motorcycles because of the climate and displacement... its a complete waste ... at that point you either have one for vanity or go somewhere else in the summer to use it.

[@Snow0255]

I ride a k6 gsxr 750 and love it, I mean yeah there's no class for 750 but I can hang with liter bikes and the same weight as a 600cc

[@jg7171]

reason why should you buy a 600 over 1000 is only one reason thats because 1000 is very much power to control specially in streets. and reason r1 doesn't make sound like any other inline four is because of its engine formation. otherwise all 1000 inline four cylinders makes awesome sound like any other 600 inline.
