2 Clicks Out: 200 Horsepower Street to Track Suspension Setup ft. S1000RR Intro 

Exactly. Willing to learn, talks to the experts and listens, plus 11K miles on that bike and it didn't look like there was much damage, so he must have kept his cool. And to be honest, I see 15+ year old bikes for sale with less miles, from guys that have only had that 1 bike. "I've been riding for 15 years", yeah, 5 sunny day rides a year and that's it. At least this guy bought a bike and actually rode it and got the experience. I put over 10K miles on in my first year of riding, rain or shine. It helps.

No way in the world should a liter bike be anyone's 1st bike... Nowadays with all the rider aids these bikes are 1 flip of the switch away from full on 200hp... The bike manufacturers can sell a liter bike that rides like a 600cc "click" it's now a 750cc "click" now it's a 1000cc all with traction control, abs, anti-wheelie, etc... Unfortunately a lot of riders have fooled themselves into thinking there is a shortcut in this sport... Sadly no such thing exist... Experience is everything in this sport.

@@gixxer750cc I do agree with you 110%, but once in a while you get a rider that might be lucky enough to not get killed riding a bike like this as his first bike. The sales guy who sold him this bike will pay for it in karma.

@@gixxer750cc I agree that it's well overpowered and for most folks it's overkill at first. I know I wouldn't be comfortable. But this guy seems to have it under control and he's put more than 10k miles on the bike, so it's not that he's without experience. Or willingness to learn, as the video showed. A saving grace for the modern ride by wire bikes is that many have a few different riding modes that allow one to "grow into the bike" a little more gently. But still, I do agree with not recommending starters to go out and buy a jacked up liter bike. :)

Bike goes as fast, as the electronics allow. Up to 80mph you don't need more than 120hp. Look at the 0-60 times from the first r1 and now the 200hp one. A friend chopped a r1250rs with his falco with luggage on it. The driver was really good, but 145nm does bring you nothing when you can't get them on the road or the ectronics block them.

It is all about disposition and humility. This rider has both and is reaping the rewards and getting better via riding within his means and gaining more and more experience and along the way - the right information to broaden his knowledge.

Very well said and yes - he uses intelligence and experience first. Hence doing to so well with his bike so far.

I believe, if he were start from much slower bike with the mindset you mention, he could learn much faster.

atakan yabanci that’s not entirely true. He can learn much easier but faster depends on the person if they’re willing to listen and apply what they learn rather than self testing

@@DPloiDEBT exactly. patience is a virtue. and filtering good/ bad advise is wiseness

You learn more of the fundamentals riding a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. The s1krr is the fastest road legal machine out there and makes zero sense as a starter bike. Sure he made it work, but that doesn’t mean it was the best way.

He rides well within his experience and most importantly, is willing to listen. He is becoming a good rider with time and leveraging understanding via experience.

@@catalystreactionsbw Good points Dave, or Dave, (ha), he proves it can be done, (not recommended, of course), and most likely realizes the potential for a machine like this to fling you off into space. By listening, learning & riding; over & over, he may become a better rider than many in a fairly short time period.

Same here in Turkey

PuNcHiE thanks to you and @bandera90. People in the US also think that they are the only ones that does stuffs either good or crazy.

Same in the UK... the point I suppose is not that you can't get a 1000 as your first bike in any particular country, the point is why would you want to? it's a bit like wearing your underpants on your head... yes, you can go out of the house like that, but people are going to treat you like a nutjob... and not in a good way

@CraZy Jay you make to many assumptions. I ride my bike with plessure and learning every year more and pushing my limits. But i also know im not Rossi. One thing i agree is that you shouldnt buy a sportbike to ride like a cruiser. Made nearly 45000 km with it and ride about 250 days a year.

@CraZy Jay lol man is dragging the knee so important for you?does it make you feel special and cool ??? drifting ? so anyone with a sportbike MUST drift and drag a knee at corners? lol. i see a lot of ''fast riders'' on my track days that drag a knee . they come out all swetty and tired to death. you know what the final outcome is ? me faster than them by a hole second in every lap without dragging a knee im guessing you are over 55 degrees lean so dragging a knee is a must? lol . unbelievable

@CraZy Jay lmao "100% within one month it will have hit the ground" Then proceeds to say "OH YEAH You aren't riding it correctly if it hasnt hit the ground" OLOLOLOL!!!

@@handgunpro3195 Guy has good logical consistency looool

India tooo

Dubai and India as well.

@@ITGuruTutorials Although that 100% tariff on >800cc bikes is a bit tough, right?

Leave my h2 at 13 months and 12000 miles experience alone lol

My first bike in Germany was a KTM 1290 Super Duke R from 2015, and I am still riding it and there wasn‘t any accident 🤗

😂

It will be time and money well spent! Look at the reviews: davemosstuning.com/testimonials/

Although I must say that the electronics on it do form a nice safety net.

Amen - a slow bike fast is all kinds of smiles per mile! Thanks for your comment.

As with this rider, open mind, ability to listen and training & more training

He has to, its a track lmao

I did a track day and this sub-20 year old turned up on a brand spanking new R6. Nice kid and very eager to learn. Had every trick option/accessory. Put the bike down every session, and had to be shown how to wheel it. Scariest bit was he would hammer it on the very short straight (for those that have ridden Sydney Motorsport Park’s South Circuit, they will know it as the straight after the climbing left in front of the pits) and even the quicker litre bikes were reluctant to punch past out concern he would go quicker and mess the braking for the slow left up. A few older people chatted to him and suggested he needed to start on an R3, and the school threw some 1:1 coaching resources at him. He was not a dick of a kid - quiet respectful kid very eager to learn but I am guessing had little experience driving or riding. Lucky he suffered no injuries but the bike sustained damage - I am guessing money as not an issue for him.

I don’t know why people get so up in arms and triggered by big first time bikes. I know I could handle it and plenty of people could. It’s kinda dumb, my opinion is they are just jealous.

My first was also this S1KRR, exactly the same color. Never had a problem with it. All the safety settings were on MAX. I did 14000 km on it. Mostly ride by the rules. Max. Speed i did was 180 km/h on highway. Everyone can start on litre bikes if they follow the speed limit.

Lots for you to work through here: ru-vid.comsearch?query=track+tire+pressures

And that jacket heh

The electronics handle it. The bike drives with only 100hp up to 60mph

So 100bhp is good for a new riders first bike!

@@bryansuperduke1290r well actually no. Even my suzuki with 80hp is to much for 3m wide backroads. Good beginner would be 30-40hp

That was what I was implying Max.

He will indeed become an excellent rider as he listens and learns at all times to create better understanding. A very rare disposition for a new rider

Dealers really aren't supposed to question your purchases. They can persuade you into something else. Look at the Bikes and Beards go. I'm sure he walked in confidentially and said this one with cash in hand.

Yes, that is why I developed Remote Tuning. Please email me dave@davemosstuning.com for more information using remote tuning in th subject line. Thanks!

Dave Williams, editor, replying here. We will post 2 Clicks Out: Ducati V2 on Thursday

VERY few riders ask about how long knee pucks last. They just burn them up and take pride in that. I test brands for longevity and feel yo get the best value I can.

Or 300cc up tier(if suitable on his height).

Exactly!

Look at his tires. Its his first bike and it sounds like he's been riding for less then a year but he's using his entire rear tire, and he's put over 11k miles on it. I don't know this guy, but it seems like he's done more in his first year then some people learn in 5+ years of riding. You can tell he's not getting on the gas hard, but good for him. I'm sure there are people passing him on 600's and its a handful of a bike for a first bike, but I guarantee he's faster on that s1000 right now then a lot of lifetime riders are that only ride on the street.

@@cody9919 great observation and point you made. I agree. 11,000 miles is a good amount of riding in less than 1 year. Some people just got it and some people dont. All the best to him

@@PeteyPipes32 word! Yeah i'd say he's the 1% exception to this common scenario :p

@@cody9919 Yup, good catch and he had enough brains to go to Dave and get professional help instead of relying on ego to get him through. Like you said lots of mile and this is his 3rd track day in as many months - ahh to have that moola 🤑

PeteyPipes32 exactly!
