This is amazing, good work!

i hope i will buy it in 2 years when i turn 16

[@george.scarlett]

nice :) . would highly recommend not getting a "sports bike" as your first bike though. can be a pain to learn on.

haha yeah. Its all i need

[@lethalityrush105]

im getting my 125 licence in march and im planning on buying a yzf r125, do you recommend older models? i could buy the 2022 but i will definitely drop it a few times and i dont even want to scrape it if its from a saloon

[@george.scarlett]

yo bro, i only recently got into riding (about 4 months ago) so i don't know to much. However i have already had a small crash and scrapped the side of mine which sucks but i bought it knowing i was going to drop it. so personally for your first bike i wouldn't buy it brand new as you should be okay with dropping it. i bought mine knowing i would drop it whilst learning so i bought a 2017. For your second bike though i would spend more and maybe even buy brand new.hope this helps :)

its cool man!

[@DontEatTacoBell]

What technique do you use for downshifts? I see you blip the throttle while doing that and its pretty smooth. A little help for me?? I have a GSXR 150 which i got this year so im a bit new

[@george.scarlett]

its called rev matching mate. when you shift down just blip the throttle to match the revs to a lower gear :) same as shifting up but instead of shutting the throttle off just blip it.

[@DontEatTacoBell]

@@george.scarlett so just clutch, downshift and immediately release clutch while blipping the throttle?

[@george.scarlett]

@@DontEatTacoBell yeah pretty much just as you would normally shift but instead of shutting the throttle, open it for a slit second. so clutch in, blip throttle while down shifting, release clutch. basically what you said. just practice and you will get a feel for it. it prob the best way to understand

[@IAmSwordless-]

is there anywhere else other than the window where i can put an L plate?

[@george.scarlett]

erm not really mate, i never really looked. i have full license now so dont have it.

[@AverageIraqEnjoyer]

Soon going to get my MC A2 driving license. I know a guy who has almost the exact motorcycle as the one you are driving for 42k Swedish KR. Got any tips on what i should get or do when i first buy it?

[@george.scarlett]

I don't know to much about bikes mate as just got into them this year. but get something cheap for first bike as you will probably drop it. :)

@@george.scarlett Good luck to you... I've had my car licence since 1992 .. Always been able to ride a motorcycle but never ever went for my test.. I'm so wanting to do it but just can't get round to doing it at the moment. It's one of those things I wish I done years ago.

[@khg8519]

Why are you reving it befor you change gear complete novice

[@george.scarlett]

im down shifting mate, you rev it to match the revs on the lower gear. look up rev matching :) just makes shifting down a gear smoother.
