@user-sj2zy3rp2p “How long” you’ve ridden is determined by how much you ride each day, how diverse your riding is, etc. Has very little to do with how many years you’ve ridden. I know a lot of guys that have ridden for 25 years and probably have ridden around 10,000 miles. I do that easily in under a year. Not much question which of us has more “motorcycle experience”.

Liter bikes are somewhat like a Hellcat engine compared to a BMW M3 engine. I personally like how most liter bikes tend to be not as “high strung” compared to 750’s and 600’s. My Bimota YB6 EXUP (has a FZR1000 engine) cruises at only 3000 rpm at typical highway speeds.

@adamsjoberrg 11 месяцев назад

I tried an Aprilia Tuono V4 a few weeks ago and I was left in absolute awe of the machine. It lifted my front wheel in 230 kph in 5th... I immediately wanted one, but honestly, riding my KTM 790 Duke lets me use all the gears and is super quick and agile, it's absolutely made for twisties. I love going into a curve and quick-shifting down 2 gears to stay in the proper revs, feeling the rear wheel move a little, etc. I feel like the Tuono would just feel too much of a bike for the twisty roads I love to do. Like I wouldn't need another gear, wouldn't matter what riding mode I'm in, whatever. It's just too refined. But I absolutely get why people have them. And this is not even a proper sports bike.

How long did it take you to get confident riding your 1000RR? I have a 4RR I’ve been riding for two months. My plan is to learn how to ride for one riding season, then upgrade to a S1K. Only reason I’m debating is because I heard if you put it in rain mode, it’ll bump it down to 130HP which is similar to a 600cc

@gabrielpsaila7102 11 месяцев назад

@@tiger2q a 4rr is a great bike to get used to sports bikes on. Going from anything less than a 600 to a 1000cc is always going to be a big jump, there’s guys on 600s who get scared on 1000s but it really depends what you are like. If you gradually get used to revving a 1000 out and learn bit by bit you’ll be okay, if you have no self control you’ll potentially die. If you’re unsure at all - I would go to a 600 first as it wouldn’t disappoint and is more realistic to get used to.

I just got my first litre bike after a decade on two different ZX636R´s. I bought a KTM super duke 990. which is a 999cc V Twin. I gotta say, Im in freaking love with this bike. I bought a 2005 model which has no bells and whistles, no fancy ride modes or ABS, just pure raw old school biking goodness. Its just as nimble in the twisties as the 636's Ive owned but at high speeds is somewhat terrifying. 100mph really feels like 100mph as the wind drag is something that you dont get with the aerodynamics of the sport bikes. Also it purrs like a kitten at 70mph on the highway. Im in freaking love.

I miss her though... going weird places, up down curbs and stairs and it would always do little mini wheelies when leaving red lights,,, it way sicker than Yammie makes them out to be.

I got myself an RSV4 recently and changed the sprocket for a lower gearing. Still, I'm looking forward to spending some days at the track next year.

Sport touring bikes are all fun and games but you’ll always lust after the liter bike. My first bike was an r1 I’ve owned 5 other bikes since, and still find myself missing the rush of speed but married life has made it so it’s not with the fight to have one lol

My dad wanted to upgrade. He sold me his 2012 ZX14 with full bolt ons for $3000. first time on a motorcycle outside of the Honda 300R I rode when I took my motorcycle class. Personally, I don't think 1000cc or 1400s are too much for a beginner. You can easily start on these types of bikes with self control. My dad always told me growing up, "1000s are like guns". IMHO, 1000s, big liter sport bikes are bragging rights more than anything. You can never really use this kind of power on the street, without getting in huge trouble.

I bought a liter bike for my first bike back in 1983. I respected the bike and got lucky to not ever have an accident. I wouldn't rec 3:59 ommend a 1000 cc bike for a beginner though... Suzuki GS 1000S.

@lgmediapcsalon9440 10 месяцев назад

I don't understand people who say liters are fine for beginners... like wtf? That's like getting an indycar without the cage for a a first car.

@espltdm155 8 месяцев назад

Have a Streetfighter 848 and Street Triple 765 R. Also have a Vespa GTS. Love em all. I don't feel any need or desire for a liter bike. Would like to try one out one day though.

I had a 21 fireblade and went to an R7. Love liter bikes but I guess I’ve done some maturing a realized going fast isn’t everything and I’ve had so much fun on my R7. It’s lighter and a lot more fun in twistes and the track. Yeah the straight line isn’t there but it does everything else better imo.

I had an '08 CBR1000rr, and unexpectedly traded it in for a '19 Ninja 1000sx during covid, and I gotta say I'm a lot happier. 85% of the performance, and I can ride it all day.

Just got my Kawasaki ninja 1000 sx. Its a 2018. I jumped from a ktm duke 390. I was suprised how nervious I am on this bike. I think its just the size. My duke was so small. . Love the bike. Just waiting to be comfortable on it like I was on my previous bike.

@jamieknight2139 11 месяцев назад

@lgmediapcsalon9440 10 месяцев назад

i went from a ss to a st back to a ss. Make sure you try it out for a bit before dumping the money on one. Don't waste your money like i did.

@EvilTerry35 11 месяцев назад

My ZX14R is perfect for the streets and has 113 ft lbs of torque. It's comfortable, to me it looks good, and on the highway, it makes you feel like a king. I wouldn't mind an MT-10, maybe next year. Most of the people who ride 600cc Supersport motorcycles in my area, plan on moving up to liters, one person who I rode with promptly was nearly killed after getting a used R1, the power is definitely a rush, I could ride my ZX14R just on the freeway and be content although I take it out into the twisties where it doesn't do too bad.

@crash5811 11 месяцев назад

Add handlebar risers and a 190/55 for the rear tire. Only good things will ensue

@crash5811 11 месяцев назад

Then swap out the footpegs. Ive got Puig racing pegs and i drag my boots thru the curves and they dont slip/squish in the least

As a humble superduke rider I support it as a starting bike

@-mystical-16 10 месяцев назад

I ride a Street Triple and it’s fun as hell reving out and going through twisties. But I still plan to upgrade to a liter bike before I get too old and we can no longer bout them in 5-10 years because of all of these new restrictions. I wish I could 2-3 bikes at once. Lol

@TheGingerBread827 8 месяцев назад

I loved my 04 R1, But it was so impractical. It was only comfortable to ride at 100 plus mph and it didn’t really start making power until you got closer to that number. Coming from the dirt bike world, supermotos have been way more fun

@Richaag 11 месяцев назад

I’m on a 2022 Versys 1000. Most comfortable liter bike I’ve ever owned.

@ihatetechnomusic5232 11 месяцев назад

I test rode the Versys 1000 and i almost bought it, that engine felt awesome! imo 100-120hp and 100Nm of torque is the sweet spot for touring and everyday riding. In the end i went for NT1100 from Honda, because i got a really good deal on it brand new also it has better wind protection (i'm a tall dude), i'm very happy with it. I miss the 4 cylinder engine that Versys had... but maybe i'll trade in my honda and get the 1000SX in a year or two? who knows :D
