@@nonyabusiness4151because most of you are parroting what he said in a video that was factually wrong. He continued to show nbts non Kevlar pants vs the other brands Kevlar pants. He contradicted himself. Stated nbt didn’t have ce level armor in it while showing the ce rating. Are the jeans the most protective form of gear? Absolutely not, but they serve a purpose and fill a gap for casual riding.
I love long videos like these!!! It feels like a podcast so I can take care of my dumb “responsibilities” while listening to one of the best channels on YT
I had a friend a year and a half ago that had been riding six months or so. We came upon a decreasing radius corner we weren’t ready for, riding fairly aggressively on the street. I was in front, realized while I was trailing off the front brakes that it was a decreasing radius corner, so I added a little brake pressure, and leaned over a little more. I went through just fine, but as soon as I made my corrections, I thought “oh shit. Jeff doesn’t know what to do.” I looked in my right mirror as he and his bike were sliding into the guard rail. When I talked to him about it, and corroborated what I thought I heard, he panicked, downshifted, and high sided when the back wheel locked up. It was a ‘21 gsxr1000. I was on my ‘21 cbr1000rr.
I've been watching this dude for like almost a decade, I swear to good and Holy things that Yam was balding af back when I first started watching. That's why he lives in hats. The fake hair looks weird on him. Heck, I remember when he was almost gonna quit bikes and become a car guy.
To the person with the R3 going for an upgrade, if you're upgrading anyway, just personalise that next bike when you have the money, especially if you're only going to sell the R3. Having the bike you're actually going to use be modified would just feel so much better
I went from a MT-07 tyo a super deal on a R1M. Just a couple of months later i sold that R1M, made a profit, and went back to another MT-07. Too big of a jump and I was certain i would have died on that bike if i kept pushing it. Waaaaay too big gap in power, you cant comprehend the difference until you've been there.
You made a mistake, realized it and fixed it. That’s something many people won’t do because their ego tells them to keep the big boy bike for bragging rights. You did the right thing and made a profit, can’t ask for a better outcome in my opinion. Take a smaller step up when you feel like it in the future!
I disagree with the statement of, paraphrasing, "it doesn't do any good to live around beautiful mountain roads if you only get to ride them six months out of the year". I live in the highest elevation "city" in the USA. 10,152 feet above sea level in the central Rocky's of Colorado, and yes, I ride about eight months out of the year but they are GLORIOUS months all of the most amazing roads in my state. PLUS . . . I SKI ! ! ! And I get to do that on some of the most INCREDIBLE slopes on this entire planet. Steep and FAST on two planks in the winter and beautiful and TWISTY roads on two wheels in the warmer (for me) months. But yes, I get it . . . this is a motorcycle channel. LOVE your content Yammy!!!! And thats coming from a guy that been riding for over four decades. Also, really dig the 'FACTS' at the end!!! Keep those comin' too .
Good answers, especially recommending the Fazer. With the beginner downshifting question.. In the rain, BE SMOOTH, BE SMOOTH. You do not want to engine brake in the rain/snow.
@@nonyabusiness4151 you want a smooth engine braking, you don't want to brake with the engine disengaged. I don't ride on snow tho :)) but rain was fine so far
@mightyakkylex Let me clarify. BE SMOOTH. Rev matching becomes vital in slippery conditions. If you don't rev match and do a HARD engine brake, the difference in rear wheel rotation amounts to stepping on the rear brake. This will cause your back tire to slide like an anchor. I ride in the rain every week, and I still don't have enough confidence in the tires and road conditions... I've been caught in the snow on 4 occasions. It's not fun. Going straight, you manage ok, but on all turns with street tires, you slide. Also, the snow sticks to the visor..
@@nonyabusiness4151 sounds like you need better tires then :)) Michelin road are notoriously good for rain, the 6 is what I would get if the ones I have now on the bike weren't so awesome
Bro, when i started riding not long ago my rear locked from third to second gear.. i lost traction mid turn and almost high sided badly. So i wouldnt say that its nothing to worry about. for someone without advanced training or experience it may happen..
I am also a new rider and had almost the same thing happen from 3rd to 2nd. I was trying to slow down for a turn when the rear tire started to wash out all over the place. Scared the crap out of me. 😂 rev match downshift is a must. Live and learn.
I do it almost evry time I shoot for a yellow light. I have actually gotten kinda used to it lol Dropping 2 3 gears whilst gauging if you can make the light.. it happens so fast its hard to tell where you went wrong and to what extent. I have been on a bike for 15 months or so, so its not only a "beginner" thing. It's a "habit" I hope to break one day.
What up, Squids?!? I’ve been watching more MOTOGP and watching how they shift their weight in turns and I’m working on being more “fluid” in my actions.
I currently have a Ninja 1000SX, but I want something slightly more aggressive and a bit more committed riding position, but not full supersport. Should I go sit on a S1000XR?
While i had my driving lessons i got my backwheel to slide once while downshifting when i shifted down to 2nd gear at like 75kph (was a cb600 hornet form 2004 or smth without slipper clutch or any assistance systems) after that i knew the limit and didnt do it again. Got it to pull the front wheel up aswell after letting the clutch slip in 2nd, didnt happen again after that time. As a beginner (which i assume i am still am after like 1.5 year and 7000ish km) you do mistakes but most important is to learn from them and not do these mistakes again
South of France, perfect for motorcyclists, 3 mountain range (Pyrénées, cevennes and Alps) costal road on the riviera, heritage site and vineyards obviously and several world class racetrack (ales, paul ricard, nogaro, perpignan) Easy to go in italy swiss or spain (dolomites, meteore, lakes ...) And all of this in area where you can go and back in a weekend Sunny days all year rounds and french restaurants
I'm a cruiser guy and whole heartedly agree with you on Harley Davidson, Besides, Everybody owns one... I like Yamaha's but have been considering Indian, or a Victory, or BMW even, love Honda's Goldwing as well. I'm just just not a Harley guy...and I don't want to be one either
I've been riding Kawasakis since I was 15, with my 2 year old '76 KZ400. I got a '77 KZ1000 when I was 16, and a new '81 GPz1100 when I was 17. My buddies and I would hit the rest stops and laugh about the H-D bikers on the side of the road that we passed. They needed to be followed by a mobile mechanic rescue van. They were most unfriendly to us new 'rice-burner' riders, too. After riding Kawasakis for 45 years, I naturally bought a great low mileage, loaded, single owner '07 BMW K1200S. Showroom clean. Never seen a wet road. My favorite color scheme. Of course I expect to work on the clutch eventually. As noobs, we all drooled over the unobtainable R90S. Finding a great BMW makes perfect sense.
sashimii here! that was INVALUABLE information and i cant than you enough! ill be studying lines on the track near me in videos and ill work on my braking and throttle control more deliberately on my daily rides ^^ if anyone is near joliet speedway in IL hit me up for some rides or track days!! would love to meet more people, new riders to pros
1:18 - okay, speaking for Milwaukee, I actually have one of their Modular Helmets. The MPH9814DOT 'Breeze' in the flat black color that I am using for the time being until I can get into a more higher quality brand, in which this current one will be a Passenger Helmet. So far, I like the Milwaukee Helmet. It's not as full featured as other more quality and more expensive offerings, but it's much better than any of the helmets I've used before. It'll be a good transition helmet for the time being. Any Modular Helmet Recommendations for the next good quality upgrade are welcomed. :)
Surprised at California pick as a top motorcycle living destination with their laws targeting modifications and police state antics. It sounds crazy but every time I’m out in Cal for a car rally or motorcycle trip i I can’t wait to head east!
@18:00 you're dead wrong dude, weather and location is great, but the police are insane, you can't mod anything, a fender delete will get your bike impounded, no right to carry for self defense without knowing someone politically and drivers are insane and entitled enough to say a pulling a "bump" into a bike on the highway isn't an attempt to hurt someone, DO NOT MOVE TO CALI, leaving for st louis (aka the southern motor city) was the best hail Mary choice if my entire life
You forced me to buy a pair of kevlar jeans, Yam. I had two of those knock-offs which although they actually fit good and look decent would probably melt into my skin with a good long asphalt drag.
I have wearing their gloves, hoodie, and pants. Kevlar lined gloves and pants . Good products worth the money. Just a guy who rides no money on the line for me.
I have had a tire lock-up 2 times in the first 2 weeks of riding, the problem is that on a sportbike you feel like you go at walking speed when you actually go 20-25 mph. Putting the bike in 1st gear and dumping the clutch on a 600cc will definitly lock the rear wheel up for a short time!
Talking about CBR600RR, it was my dream bike that I planed to get it next year B'day. Sadly due to my family financial problem, I have to cancelled the plan and focus more in my family financial. But I still hope one day when my financial is stable enough I'll get it.
Patience and dogged determination in your quest will pay off. After being without a running bike for four years, this Kawasaki loyalist slogged through Cycle Trader and Craigslist for over four months. I cast an ever wider net, considering bikes that I normally wouldn't have looked at once, never mind twice, when every bike that checked my boxes was invariably 3000 miles away, in the middle of nowhere. The bike that fits me like a fine kid glove, the 2024 ZX14R in 40th Anniversary livery, is too much. Superb first-gen ZX14s were at the top of my fiscal-prudence limit. After looking at 10,000+ bike ads, some many, many times, I had almost given up hope of finding a fabulous bike at a great price that was nearby. Two weeks ago, when I was ready to despair, my wife said, "I know you'll find the right bike." to which I replied, "Yeah, yeah..." The next day, a fabulous, fully loaded, single owner '07 BMW K1200S (in my favorite paint scheme) appeared on Cycle Trader, only 50 miles from me. It had already been seen by 10+ people, and faved by one. Was I fast enough? I emailed, stating I would show up via Lyft, with my helmet and the firm ask, at his convenience. I wrote, "Let's do this!" Three days later, I rode the beast home. Showroom clean. Crazy fast. It follows a line like a Superpower locomotive. The K1200S is a "motorcycle enthusiast's" dream ride. It demands 100% attention to the ride. It's a gym membership on two wheels. It's just what I needed. When I asked the now former owner if he had ever topped it out, he vaguely mentioned "triple digits", but I doubt he rode it like it needed to be. After ten days, with a few early AM interstate highway shake-out runs, this great running bike now runs even better. I have not revved it on the red-line even once. This may be the first bike I've ever owned that won't see at least one flat-out, all-its-got run. That's OK. It will take me and my wife wherever we want to go, posthaste. Don't give up your dreams!
I had my ninja 400 for 44 days, due to personal circumstances i got rid of it and got a ni ja 650 instead, this bike is honestly amazing for riders who are still fairly new to riding. At this point I've ridden for about 4~5 months and ive definitely gotten a lot better, theres still things i probbaly need to work on better but for now im just having fun and enjoying this machine, eventually i want to step to a 600 or a 1000 before eventually an h2r which is literally my dream sport bike, for now i have financed the ninja 650 (ikik bad idea but im a college atudent who is making a bit more than minimum payment my parents just really prefered i had a new bike with abs since my ninja 400 didnt have it, it did however teach me not to jam the back break so hey, its a win win yk?) And ill probably pay that bike off and keep it before i go getting another bike
The Southeast near the Appalachians is a great spot for motorcycling. Weather really isn’t that wet and crappy, Tail of The Dragon, as well as Road Atlanta, Atlanta Motorsports Park, Barber, and Charlotte are all nearby.
42:00 I feel like the XR650R is the best bike that could exist for this. Right around 300lbs, survives (and won) the Baja 1000, liquid cooled. You gotta learn to kick it, but it is so solid There doesn't seem to be any around. The horsepower isn't crazy, but it doesn't need to be.
I own a 23 cfmoto 450ss and while it looks good. It's not really worth it because in 3 month you gonna want a 600. A 600 just sound way smoother and ride much smoother than a 400. They hold value and you might never sell it. I want a 636 but I want to master the 450 on track and I'm saving for a track suit and trailer.
re Pants Review 3:02 -- Ruroc is a popular/controversial helmet brand with really strong marketing team. Would love to see a debunk honest review of their helmets
for Reverend Greed. Sydney, Australia. period! (as you yanks would say) as for AUAU_1K, probably one of the best questions for a lot of early/intermediate trackers. Buy something like a 650- 750 and still kick most peoples ass. BTW, when you were in OZ, did you get a chance to ride Eastern Creek/SMSP?
I have been leaning over to reduce lean angle of the bike. Am I stupid? Due to the cold weather in Norway I've tried to rely solely on the middle of my tires because they get warmer than the edges
I have a question! So of course I’m a beginner, I passed my MSF course. I can ride the bike with no problem & all the basic stuff etc. (I wanna add that I’m a calm rider & responsible) but my debate is to see if I really go the route of the beginner bike-ninja 400, or jump straight into a Mt-07 (I’m getting either or brand new) but of course I don’t wanna out grow the 400 & then selling it quick, to jump into a bigger cc bike. Cause of course I don’t wanna be spending money here & there. So what do yall recommend? Jump into that mid section cc bike? Or really start on a 400? Thank you in advance whoever helps me out🙌🏽🙏🏽
I won a r1. 2012 kenny roerts 60th i passed my bike test in 76 making me 66 yrs old i own a second gen busa special and vmax full power 1200 allthough many years and loads off bikes in my life the r1 just sat on the drive for 2 months the big bang cross plain amazin sound fast as loonies bike i sold the r1 kenny roberts new in my soul if fid ride ot i knew in my soul if irode it i end up hhrowing down the road end up on my butt and being rushed to hospital to be helped to keep breathing
R3 guy.... get the R1! You know you wanna. You want that zooming goodness. All you gotta do is not open that sucker up. That Discord guy is probably loving his Ducati and you can too. Middleweight bikes are there to soak up your money before you hit the 1000 class anyway. Just imagine it: going full tuck on the highway, sideway wind can't touch you and neither can tje coos when you eventually get pulled over. Who cares about gas mileage anyway? After burning a big hole in your pocket with the R1 and all the mods, you won't even mind the amount of time and money you spend at the pump. Do it now, before the R1 is no more! Then not only would you have just an R1, it'll be limited edition.
Hey there Papa-Yam, on the thought of doing gear videos I had a random idea I don't think I've seen anyone else talk about. Instead of bringing brands into the picture, what if you talked about the different materials used in motorcycle gear and touching on the pros and cons of each one? Like how some riding jeans are made with kevlar, but I've seen some pants that use covec instead.
3:42 changed my shift pattern to gp style… down shifted from 3rd to 2nd at 115 trying to shift up(muscle memory got me) and it did nothing except scream
