6 Reasons You Should Buy a 1000cc Motorcycle, NOT 600cc 

The 5 reasons I heard: It is faster, it moves quicker, velocity is greater, it gets faster from point A to point B, It takes less time at the same distance.

just need two reasons: SPEED AND POWER (speed and power solves many things) - Jeremy Clarkson

Just an f.y.i. Some police cruisers have a rear facing radar.

Next motonosity video : 5 reasons you should get an H2R, NOT a bmw s1krr

Damn, I only just upgraded from a bicycle to a 250.

I'd love for BMW to make a 600!

Well let’s be completely honest here, anyone can go fast in a straight line... You really don’t need a 1000cc

My Zx6r is fast enough for me to have fun and gap the local boosted cars so I’m good

To sum it up 400s are good to learn the basics 600s are good for extra power once you learn the basics 1000s will break every speed limit in the us in 1st gear in a matter of seconds

I started on a dirt bike. Best training tool out there. Progressed to a litre now

My progression was 400, 636 and 1000cc's I don't think it's a good idea to skip the middle tier 600 bikes. They are fast but not suicide fast and serve as a great learning tool before getting that liter bike.

My 2019 zx-6r does just fine as far as speed goes. I'd like to have a 1000cc exotic bike like a Ducati or s1000rr but more for looks and tech than top speed. I don't really race people on public highways. I've got too much to live for. I just like the sounds and doing quick pulls on straights. the 636 is perfect for the way I ride. I tested the 636 and the zx10 and the 636 sits higher. zx10 was lower to the ground. I really went with the 636 because they sold it to me for $8500 whereas the zx10r was 12000 for the 2019

When he said “It’s your own life be careful, your choice” that’s when I knew a 600 would be better.

Dude, make up your mind what you're trying to say....You start your thought then you talking about sth. else. Wth!

Wind the tension out a little on your clutch lever. You will find neutral easier. My friend had a RSV4 and always complained about a tricky neutral. Literally just took some tension off the lever. Fixed it.

this didnt really convince me to get a 1000 tbh

Meanwhile here i'm totally satisfied by my 300cc

IDK man, I feel like the power on my ruckus is pretty insane as it is 🤣😂🤣🛵💨💨💨

I get triggered everytime when people say hayabusa or zx14 is a climp up from 1000cc superbike. They're not! They was 10 years ago but now they slower than any modern superbike. I own 2014 zx14 and 2017 r1 and my r1 is straight up faster and got snappier throttle and overall much more radical in everyway. Yes zx14 is still very fast bike and it's good all around bike but as far as only performance goes it's just obsolete, it got 200HP which all modern superbikes got 200+ and weight much lasser and higher and faster reving engines.

Just sit back, grab some snacks and watch Motonosity cruise around ans say what I want to do with my money. LOVE IT!

I’m gonna say it 1000cc is over rated, the difference is only noticeable on the highway. Also you don’t need to be going over 100mph on a daily basis.

Keep up the awesome vids👍

Whoa! I didn't know it was you until I heard ur voice! Hope u & family are all doing great!

Thanks for the info! I've been looking for a few weeks not knowing which one to go with and since I do have a decent commute to work I think the 1000cc is my best bet.

@Motonosity going 125mph “Woo hoo! Why is this legal?” Cop “It’s not.”

I bought my 1st bike, a 2018 R6 based off ur channel. But after a year of owning it, I totally agree that a 1000 is definitely the way to go.

Luckily we gsxr boys got the 750. Got my k7-600 and thats fast enough for me :)

I’m happy with my 2018 R6 :) But one day I’ll get a S1000RR 😭

But you ride straight city roads and hwy all the time 🤔

Me personally ive rode 4 600cc sportsbikes since 2011.... a CBR 600RR two Kawasaki Zx6r’s and a Triumph Daytona 675R until April this year i brought my first litre bike my current ride a 2016 Kawasaki Zx10r winter ❄️ Edition. I absolutely love the 600cc class fantastic fun on the streets 👌. Everyone’s different and should ride whatever they want as long as they are having fun that’s all its about!! Adam 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I saw you turning into the outlet mall the other day, damn good looking bike from a little further away.

I had a choice between the new 2019 636 for 13,500 cad or a new 2017 gsxr1000 for 15,800 that was sitting for two years. The power and electronics made me get the gsxr alone even though I am not a pro on the 600cc. I just keep the settings on high and lower it when get more skills on the road and track

Most prefer the sound of an Aprilia V4 literbike, then the R1, then other inline 4s. The V-twins sound very good when engine braking at 20 mph. It is mostly about costs and reliability, and what you like the looks of and how sitting on it feels to you. I have a 600cc inline 4 and a 600cc V-twin. The V-twin is better from 0 to 60 mph, and the inline 4 is better above 60 mph and for longer trips.

3:54 Did not see anything my ZX6-R cannot do.

I don't have a problem finding neutral on that bike.

The biggest thing that surprised me, stepping off a Suzuki GSX-R *750* K6 on a Suzuki GSX-R 1000 K5 (which ergonomically are pretty similar) is the fact that, on the 750, I could ride for about 3 hours straight and was DONE! Tired, numb, sore, I had enough for the day On the 1000, I went for a ride, and ended up home *7 hours later* _and only because sun was setting and I had my dark visor mounted_ I could probably have continued a few hours more if it wasn't for that, even saddle soreness was a matter of simply changing position a little And it's a constant, I can simply ride longer, more comfortably on the 1K Now the 1K is a tad wider, and the tank a bit higher, about 10lbs heavier(some of it is higher fuel capacity), 190 instead of 180 tire, but that's about it Seating position, stretch over the clipons is pretty much the same But what factors in a lot, is the low end torque, it isn't as exhausting as that of the 750, which you have to rev at least 2K rpm higher (and more when overtaking) It numbs the limbs less, you got more initial grunt helping you through the curves, so you're pulling the bars less and there's less need to change gears ...and that's not even discussing the power,... TEH POWAH!!1!! I swear this thing is trying to kill me and I don't even MIND 🤣

Just rolled over on 6000kms In the first three months I have Owned my bike

The fit is the best reason for me; I'm also tall and a lot of bikes feel really small. I wish they made 600s as big as the 1000s.

enjoyed the video!

Finding neutral is easy. Clutch in, bleep throttle and push gear into neutral at the same time. Works everytime for me.

Whens the Exhaust coming dude?? Thats the finishing touch on this beauty

100% agree with your rebuttal to the argument that you'll never be able to use 1000cc bikes power on the street. As someone who has to commute on highways frequently, it's a night and day difference between fighting with my Ninja 650 to cruise at 70 mph vs comfortably cruising along on my GSX-R1000.

Try changing to 2nd gear and tap tap tap it down into neutral or before you stop change to Neutral while rolling. Same issue on my Aprilia Tuono...

i own bikes from 125cc to 1200cc, and the smaller ones, 600cc or less are best for city and small comutes type of situation, for raging and longer trips the 600cc plus is a must.

So this is a video of why 600cc or slower bikes are far more engaging to ride than 1000cc sports bikes.

Im happy with my yamaha 150cc it saves life......tnx man

I’ve rode four wheelers and dirt bikes all my life. I’m going to get an r6. I live out in the country and I’m 5”5 145 pounds the r6 fits me better. Plus there’s no highways to really open up a 1000. Also my friend past away on his 1000 recently so 600 is plenty for me. Awesome video big fan of the channel been watching a full year now. Every new video I get an itch to get a bike.

I have my r6 2010 with a akrapovic full with ecu flash with my ftecu kit and I love it. But I want to get the bmw s1000rr next year and is my favorite bike from the 1000cc supersport. In 1998 I had the first yamaha r1 with just 5 gears and that was a beast at time... But I had a crash with it because I jump from a suzuki bandit 400cc to the r1! And is like he talk in the vid the 1000cc is another league... We have to be very careful and don't let the bike ride you but you ride the bike!

I have never had a sport bike until now and I’m glad I went with a 1000 no matter what gear you are in she goes

Parmer out to Manor used to be WAY worse, I caught air doing the speed limit on my BMW R1100S regularly...

Went from a older gsxr6 to a newer ninja 300 and I have more fun on the little bike. Running the gears Is part of it.

Neutral hint (from the other guy in Austin with a Brentuned 2020 RR): Don't wait until you get to a full stop; rather when coming to a stop shift down from 2 (or up from 1) into N when doing 5-10 mph. This is the easiest and most reliable way. Another trick when you find yourself fully stopped and fail to find neutral after a try or two: Give the transmission a bit of load for half a second by letting out the clutch a little bit (use brake and a hair of throttle), and then try neutral again. You'll now likely get it within a try or two (from either 1 or 2).

Finding N is tricky. I have the BMWS1000R and it’s easier to find N by going to 2nd gear and then clicking down. Comes in handy at long lights😉

that rode in the beginning is my old apartment complex. small world! actuallt left austin bc my bike was stolen and other BS that was happening at the time.. its crazy seeing those streets

The biggest reason to get a 1000 is the new technology and improvements they put into them. The 600 market is dead and manufacturers know it. That's why every year the 600s only get a minor refresh; no new chassis, engine ect. Same reason why you'll never see a 600 supersport from BMW, no point in spending all that development money for a bike that wont sell.

Usually adjusting slack on the chain will help find neutral

Well said my friend! I agree on all points

I started on a 1000 it was an 04 gsxr 1000 she was all stock for the most part and I put on 7000 miles that summer I finally upgraded to a 06 gsxr 1000 and i absolutely love this monster the torque

I agree liter bikes generally have more features better quality parts better suspension more technology and for people scared of the power there are power modes so you can turn down the power and ride comfortably

Congrats on da baby even tho a visor year old always a blessing💯💪🏽

Weirdly enough I catch more wind on my faired 1000 than my naked 650. Size does indeed fit me better though. Power... I mean sure it's a lot faster, but both were fast, they facilitate laziness though, overtaking in 6th and all that...

My very first road bike I ever had was a 2004 Suzuki GSXR 1000 with 13,000 miles on it truly amazing you have to have alot of responsibility and really know your surroundings however my experience on really fast machines started early and I've always been confident in my ridding abilities that being said I always always ALWAYS road with all my gear ridding boots, ridding gloves, ridding pants, and sport bike Jacket I was 30 when I got the bike and to this day I've never had as much fun in a summer on that bike then any other 600 or 750 they ride so smooth compared to the smaller CC bikes also you don't have to work the bike as hard you just go I rode everywhere on that bike by the end of the summer into fall season when I sold it the bike had 19,000 miles one very important view I never ever put my self in a situation where someone could run me off the road and always respected the machine for what it was and it's capabilities! Someone once told me this the 600cc sport bike sound fast but the 1000cc inline 4 cylinder's are fast really fast. Oh and I didn't sell the bike cause I didn't like it anymore or that I had a close call I sold it cause my wife and I have 6 children and me having a sport bike of any cc was a variable and I wanted to be somewhat responsible. Ride safe God bless and try to make wise decisions when ridding these exhilarating monsters! It only takes 1 mess up and your done or badly injured stay safe dudes!

if you want to see your speedometer go up smoothly get a 600. If you wanna see it start skipping numbers go 1000.

For the screen part, get a KTM and your going to get amazing screen from the 390 range all the way to the super Duke.

i had a zx6r and a zx10r, 1000cc is like double the torque, but in curves a 600cc does more fun

So what is your thoughts on going from an 1133 scout to a liter bike?

Grats on your baby 🤍

My 16 Daytona 675 has no issues with power even at interstate speed, never had to downshift. As far as weight, ofcourse yout R1 had no issues with being blown around on the interstste( that bike particularly was heavy as hell) most newer 1000cc bikes are hitting the weight of the 600 bikes so there's that. It all boils down to preference. And most will never outride the potential a 600cc bike.

A speedometer that wasn't all fuzzy looking..finally!

I agree with everything you just said lol.. I’ve only been riding 2yrs. Started on my K8 GSXR 600.. I finally rode my first liter bike a month ago. A 12’ CBR 1000RR & a 15’ BMW S1K & lets just say that’s why I agree with everything you just said lol.. I’ll hopefully be getting my first liter bike next year if not the year after 🤙🏼💨

I'll be keeping an eye on the Austin American-Statesman for your obituary. Good luck.

I think that if your country has the road infrastructure so you can enjoy your motorcycle up to the limit, you can buy either a 600 CC or 1000cc motorcycle. At least on my third world country Costa Rica a 300 cc is enough and I am very happy with my YZF-R3 2019. Thank you for the video and I love tthe new look of the S 1000 RR.

My 08 gixxer 600 would walk this bike on a 60 pull lmao but then again I've got over $12k into my motor and she dyno'd 182rwhp and is still stupid light with all that power!!! Lol, it definitely is a wild ride and still after 4yrs I still shake a bit every single time I get off of it after I get any kind of into the throttle, it's still fairly tame up to around 9.5k rpms and then after 10k hold da-fuq onnn! 🏍🏍🏍

I rode a 2020 S1000RR for the first time yesterday, and have pretty much convinced a buddy of mine to get one for his first bike. Yes it's fast, and you can really hurt yourself on it, but if you can control your throttle hand and speed devil, it'll save a lot of money from starting on a lower bike that you probably won't want long term.

I prefer the sound of a modded 600 personally. But Purdy much all your other points I agree with.

This is going to sound weird but I have a 300cc and a 1000cc in my garage and I feel those are the two bikes to have for all around uses.

Started on an Sv 650 and looking to get a fz1

I have ridden a r3 since it's been produced. Sold it 2 weeks ago and bought a 07 Hayabusa. Never going back! A new member in the liter bike family 😁

for your ECU flash why didnt you just wait to get the stage 1 done at the same time as your other? which leads me to could they have given you a combo deal for both saving some money?

Hey Moto, quick question for ya, brother. Did you recently change anything in post production/video editing, or add a polarized lens or such to your GoPro? Reason I'm asking is that I keep seeing slightly odd/unnatural colors at times in your videos. Like sometimes the ground looks almost green/turquoise in some areas (like at 8:57 when you're overtaking the dark gray truck) and at other times the sky looks green'ish into purple'ish (like at 1:32). Let me just point out that I am by no means complaining - I think it looks cool as hell, sort of like how they use different filters and shit for Top Gear segments. I'm just curious if you changed something recently, because I don't recall seeing it a few months ago.

Captions, cc, English please, some of your viewers need it because of hearing loss from riding 1000cc bikes with no mufflers come on man!

I really wanted a 1000cc but I decided to Port and polish my head on my gsxr 600 because it just fits me like a glove and now I'm up there with zx10rr's and r1's

6’6” 250+ I wanted a ktm 360 duke but it looked like a grom next to me. I got a 1100 mts and love it.

Newish rider here. I’m only 6ft. 190lbs. First bike is newer gsxr600. It’s great and all but that wind gets brutal. I get blown around a lot. After this year i plan to get a 1000. No i don’t have a need for one. But it’s just a nice to have thing. Nothing bad to say about 600 besides the wind can be challenging. But end of the day. Money talks and i walked away with hell of a deal on 2015 600 or i would have got a 1000.

Try adjusting your clutch lever, if you haven’t

I jumped from a 400 to a 600 and thought it was some what Subtle, I Then bought a VTR 1000F and IT gave me my BUTTERFLIES :) PS the faster I rode the steady it was lol

Bro where have you been? It's been over two weeks with no Motonosity

I’ve been riding a ninja 300 for almost a year now. My friend is about to give me his GSXR-1000. Should I ride it right away or should I wait until I’m more experienced? Just asking for opinions.

Ride the ruckus more,I need my fix -the guy that said on twitter that I need my fix of motonosity ruckus

the quick shifter comes with the bike ?

Whats the filter that you use on your videos?

Went from 250cc to 500cc and now s1000rr😍😍

My first bike was a 650cc Yamaha. Is it safe for my next bike to be a 1,000cc bike?

I live in the UK and took a wrong turn on a roundabout, i was riding a CBR125R.......ended up on the motorway......what you say about the wind omg dude!!!!! I WAS SHITTING MYSELF!!!!! SEMI'S OR AS WE CALL THEM TRUCKS WERE EVERYWHERE!!!! STAY SAFE PEOPLE!

Good video, but not sure I can agree. It's probably situational. I bought my first motorcycle Aug 6th - 2019 Ninja 650 (Orange & Black ABS model). I love it! Great first bike. Ive been getting comfortable and more confident each time I ride it. However, if I were to jump to a 1000cc as my next bike, I think it would be too much for me. I'm only 5'7" and 170 lbs. I don't do much highway riding and it would be alot of bike for around town and cruising thru the twisties. I think a 600cc SS would suit me better after a couple of years on the Ninja 650, or perhaps a GSX-R 750? What are your thoughts on my reasoning? I don't buy used stuff, my next bike would also be brand spankin' new :)

Great video. Good points. I find the extra power as a safety measure in case u want to accelerate to dodge something! 1k ftw

Yes motonosity is right me my self from 300. Ninja Weight in 215 pounds to a Yamaha fz1 makes a difference I cut true winds satisfying

Okay if I’m on a 300 and will ride it for a year should I skip a 600 and go to 1000 or is that too big of a jump

Where do you guys buy these bikes from Looking to get one at a good price

im 5'11" with shorter legs proportionally than most people and with my boots that I normally wear than have a 2" heal I am able to just exactly get my heals on the ground with my legs fully extended when sitting on my 1000cc
