Bad, Bad advice for so many young riders starting out, Do "NOT" go and buy a 1000cc Super bike! Your probably under 25 yourself if I had to guess, with you giving such good advice and all..😂 Yeah get a 180-200HP 1000cc bike instead of a 120+HP 600cc bike, Which is still NOT a good beginner bike choice either and still very fast and can get you into plenty of trouble, even if your an experienced rider.. Do you really think most 18-21 year old novice riders would have the self control to keep the power mode set to "low" power, Hell after like a week or so, and perhaps some might hold out for a month or so before becoming over confident in their abilities and thus likely becoming reckless, even on 600cc super sport, much less a 1000cc 200HP machine.. Hell when I bought my first 600cc(637cc) CBR at the age of 20, it was set up as a track bike with a 2.2mm overbore Wiseco piston kit and cams, Well I drove about 500 miles to buy it and rode it back and within 2 hours I was on the highway doing like 160.. Again I had ridden dirt bikes and smaller street bikes since I was about 7 years old, but this was my first truly fast bike.. Point is I was 20 and within just a couple hours of owning the bike I was doing 160MPH, like so many at that age you think your almost invincible in a way and can be careless.. Lets not even get into the cost of buying a new or newish 1000cc bike that actually comes with power modes, anti Wheelie modes and traction control, then the freaking outrageous insurance cost for those bikes in a state that requires it.. Even a 600cc super sport is not a good starter bike, and if one chooses to buy one anyways, you should buy a used one, as there will be a good chance it's going to be laid down at some point, so better to spend like $3-4k on a used 600, than $12k on a new one and then end up laying it down, or worse yet total it..

They need the "revs to get going" due to the gearing not the lack if torque. 👍

[@HotWheels93]

You can daily just about every kind of bike but a 2 stroke. Proper maintenance & TLC it will last u a lifetime

[@fatrat137]

Your crazy 600 is a great mid level for being in traffic

[@maxreapers375]

This video should be how to improve your 600cc motorcycle for daily

[@hagsch]

Understood. Going to buy an cbr600rr as an upgrade to my yzf r125 as my only bikes 🫡 And I won’t be using any gear outside of the cheapest textile stuff I could find to just pass the license test, just as you taught me Mr Yammie

[@percio6802]

cbr600rr is actually pretty comfortable

[@xdgg4433]

I got a 1992 XJ600 with 50hp, slow, crappy powerband but reliable and can be daily driven

[@deadgoldenheart9560]

Well they look amazing, I know that's why I would get one

[@Phuq_it]

I’ve got a Harley… I would definitely daily this 600. It’s quick but not your getting your license suspended quick

[@alpha1k-]

Reality... they are awesome as a daily... as long as your back and knees are still young enough to endure the ergonomics. If your a new rider and can only get 1 bike there is no better option than a 600 when it comes to fun per dollar.

[@scottcook8061]

I can't wait for the snow to go here in Canada, mostly because I purchased a 2022 Kawasaki Ninja 400. I stopped being a squid in the late 90's

[@Darbymitch101]

The 400 is underrated. Seeet streer bikes and fast on rhe track.

[@ganuvien]

I definitely preferred my XSR700 for around town and general below 70mph riding. Fast off the line and torque feels great and took effort to break speed limits, easier to throw around for evasive maneuvers riding it like a supermoto. But it's a boring backroad high speed twisties and highway bike. If I solely used the bike for commuting to work it'd be perfect in that aspect and most of us don't have room for multiple bikes with the insane cost of living right now and add on cost of maintenance/tires they get expensive quick if you rack on miles.

[@MrGhoulie]

Yammie has a vendetta out against 600s, seriously every video he bashes on them. With any amount of research people KNOW that super sports are fast and aggressive and uncomfortable. I’ve always wanted an r6 growing up, so when I was old enough I got one as my first bike. And I’m 5’4! It was intimidating at first mostly because of my height. Speed isn’t so much of an issue if you have throttle control and mental control over wanting to go fast. Yeah it’s not as comfortable as a more upright bike, yeah it was a little more difficult to learn on than a 300. But I don’t regret a thing. It sounded great, looked great, and I grew into the bike and was fully comfortable after a couple riding seasonings. I dailyed it to work and went for cruises for fun on the weekends. If you’re a new rider, get the bike you want. Trust me. Just do the research and know what to the getting into and control yourself. It will pay off when you can keep the same bike for years and never get tired of it after a few months. Any new driver could get a Ferrari as their first car and never take it above 65. It’s all about self control same with bikes.

[@cruze86]

Yes, 600-700cc are not really good for cityride or dailydrive because it’s a bit OP for the streets. 300-400cc are the better alternatives

[@ΑλεξανδροςΑμανατιδης-ι7ε]

Its not about CCS. Just dont ride a supersport for a daily no matter the displacement.

[@carsondees7175]

Lol 😂 why ?? Just say y’all are squids 😂 or fat 😂😂

[@raphy_tt]

@@carsondees7175what does being a squid or being fat have to do with anything? a squid would want to get a 1000cc ffs

[@johntheaccountant5594]

Honda CB300R Neo Cafe Racer is well adequate for commuting, especially filtering city traffic.

[@efrey614]

@@ΑλεξανδροςΑμανατιδης-ι7ε the smaller ones are much more like a naked bike in body position. Not aggressive serious race bikes stock. 600 on up was made with racing first in mind. The gearing and can really ride it for all it’s worth and too me I like to reach close to a bikes limits. I raced so Depending on conditions I’d take a 600 over a 1000 on track. Motocross I take a 250 over 450 every time for most conditions it’s just more fun to use gears and wring a bike out. I love naked bikes, sumo/dual sport /adventure daily though.

[@natecote1971]

When i was 15 i got a job doing roofing and siding on summer break when i was 16/sophomore year the 2006 r6 came out and i had saved $25k and wanted to build credit so they let me take out a loan with my own money to build my credit and i got my 06 r6 and i fkn loved it, i found it super comfortable, i would do 400 mile day rides no problem! i did have some insanely close calls due to being a young kid on a insane bike driving way fast

[@jasonclary206]

Can you make a video on what is a good dailey Bike? Especially for a 6'2" person like me.

[@HeliNomadic]

A 600 supersport.

[@andrewroberts6123]

A daily rider should have a comfortable seat, and it should have luggage space options. I’m 6’-2” and I ride a Kawasaki Versys 650. That’s what I recommend.

[@ThaCyNiQ]

Monkey bike

[@alvacole2372]

What's really interesting about this video is that you can see on the graph above the progress bar that tons of people are replaying part of the ad. That means voom actually has a product that interests people. lol

[@itzyaboybugz]

I’ve had several 600’s. Just bought another. But next time… I think it’s time for liter bike due to fact I live in city and need that low end torque. Also… Changing gears sucks!

[@Hi-Viz-Ricky]

absolutely agree with you!!

So a Goldwing it is, eh? haha

[@itzyaboybugz]

@@krasky no way lol

[@highplainsoutdoors7573]

I have daily rode my 03 R6 ever since I picked it up in 07. I’m getting older but still love the feeling I get every time I’m on it. Not a bolt on the bike I haven’t touched and I can’t imagine giving it up to some kid that wouldn’t appreciate it the way I do.

[@natvega1]

What horrible advice, men and weman in their 50's and 60's and older still love and ride their sport bikes daily, this guy makes it sound as if you outgrow a 600 as you get older, lies.....😅😢😂

[@AZNHELLCAT]

I love my Cbr600rr and I came from a Honda Grom of 8 months of riding and 1100 miles. 😊I love ‘‘em both..now have 300 miles on my Cbr on the second day ownership.

[@sirhorsechoker]

I put 1100 miles on a grom by the time I paid the first note 😅

[@zavoly9406]

i mean im boutta buy a 1000 for mainly daily rides and weekend rides

[@simonsmotocat2774]

I did commute on my 750. In winter. Wasn't a big deal, just 15 minutes commute. No mods were required

[@TheTriSec]

I dunno Yammie - I traded in my 300 for a 900 as my daily rider this season. I'll let you know how it turns out. 🙂

[@RandomGuyComments]

[@Ripfire777]

[@Auizy]

Bought to go buy a 600cc just for my daily commute now. Thanks Yammie

[@1981jakehamilton]

I ride my R6 everyday. Quick shifter, 2 teeth on the rear sprocket. New forks, fork seals, new tires. Power Commander, new clutch, clutch lever. Fresh coolant,and change your oil and filter alot. Coil packs and spark plugs every year. And I live in Colorado Denver. She's Been running 5 years strong.

[@Solinesn3p]

Im confused. While I get the idea of having an overpowered bike for street use, does this apply to 650 twins? Or only the racer style? (Has the Royal Enfield Int 650 in mind)

[@RAF238thCdr84]

The twins are great street bikes. Ninja 650, R7, etc (sport, sport touring)..., the 4cyl supersports are a bit edgy for the street for the average guy. Not that they are unmanageable but that they have a more aggressive riding position (uncomfortable on the street) and the power is in the wrong place for street riding.

[@Solinesn3p]

@Will thanks for the clarification!

[@Solinesn3p]

@@RAF238thCdr84 ooh ok. That makes more sense. Thanks!

I started riding on an R6 and eventually got me to the track, nature of the beast. 😄

[@cameron9292]

I've had my 600RR for 2 years, put 7k miles on it. I can ride for hours and not get tired, probably a combination of technique and tolerance, never going back to a cruiser style, I'll probably die on it or sell it when I'm 40

[@sparkthego]

Im 42 years old and ive daily 600s for the past 5 years, no mods plus backpack. But then again i live in Australia where the ZX10 is the most common allrounder for dirt, street and commute.

[@ChiAvacado]

Yammie: people can’t feel the bike all the way on the street Yammie when people go 160 on the street: that’s just unsafe

[@theuseless1386]

I drive a CBR600 as a daily and don't have any remarkable mods on, and it drives like a dream and is really comfortable on long and short drives.

[@gaigeoudekerk207]

i daily my 600 it’s doable but would rather have a 2nd bike for work trips when i ain’t actually riding

[@telefonmakinesi6467]

I think problem is not the 600cc it is the 4 cylinders engine. Something like aprilla rs660 is perfect for street riding. Although we all love 4 cylinders engine :) maybe something like zx4rr then? 😂

[@robertroyds1332]

Newsflash Not all motorcycles are crotch rockets, nor are all engines inline 2's which perform like this guy says. Try a V Strom 650 with the V2 that delivers grunt at low rpms.

[@6TWO1]

i used to daily ride a 04 cbr600rr but i was young and loved it. Then i got a dog, lost my hair, now drive a diesel x5 and just watch everyone else having fun on youtube. Soon ill be back on two wheels

600 is perfect for Minnesota, mostly freeway and highways.

Listening to this while perched on my 04 R6, just got my endorsement a momth ago. Repect the Machine! Safe riding all.

I daily drove/road my R6 for a while. I’m pretty short so I had to lean forward a little. I loved every single second…my back did not tho. You gotta be about it to commute on those things. ❤

My dad is still obsessed with super sport style motorcycle. He says he doesn't understand the concept of the naked bike as a daily rider

[@devonscroggins2480]

Not me daily driving my R6 for the past 2 years

[@arthurm.5952]

Daily riding is bad especially for the r6. Leaving the engine idling and driving on low rpm is bad because the oil pressure is low.
