i’ll be buying a 23’ S1000RR this year.. first time ever on a bike 🤫

moral of the story dont stop

If you know you want to end up on a liter bike, get a liter bike to start. As a new rider who never rode anything, I listened to all the noise and got a SV650... great bike... and I outgrew it and got bored in one month. I did dozens of hours of research, watched dozens of YT videos, read many forum posts and literally everyone was saying the same thing, so I figured they must be right. For me, THEY WERE ALL WRONG! I now regret it every time I ride. I have to save up for my next bike, which is a BMW S1000rr, and I'm stuck with this slow bike. I listened to all the people who said, "a liter bike is way too much bike for a beginner", "you can have just as much fun on a 650". This is absolute garbage. It's like saying you can have just as much fun in a V6 Honda Accord, as you can in a Ferrari. Total nonsense. Everyone's different though. If fun to you is moderate acceleration, you have no interest in going faster than 120mph, and/or you know you are reckless and have no inherent coordination and skills... then YES get a starter bike 100%. If you know you want to end up on a liter bike, you want to go 140mph, and have even a fair amount of confidence in your maturity and composure; then get the liter bike. I never rode and was entirely dependent on other's experiences and was totally unsure and apprehensive; if you're on the fence and unsure if you can handle a liter bike, but have a good feeling you can, YOU CAN! Most all modern super sports have low speed modes to learn on. Even if its an older 1000, just take it easy and start slow... you'll be up to speed in literally 2 weeks. Even though 95% of riders will tell you different, 95% (probably much less) of riders aren't interested in super sports, and they're NOT talking about riders like me, and potentially you. Don't let anyone scare you off your path. For someone like me, a "beginner bike" was a complete waste of time, and NO, it's nowhere near as fun. I rode my friends GSXR1000R and my 650 is nowhere in the same universe of fun.

Definitely can’t deny how easy the S1KRR is to ride on the street and crazy comfortable.. and after tuned it’s so much more fun. Keep up the vids!

Yes definitely a beginner bike if you stay below 6000 RPM

At the end of October I will be riding for 2 years. My first bike ever I bought a Suzuki Boulevard M109R. Put aftermarket exhaust and air intakes. Had the ecu flashed. It’s a beast. Then in March I bought me a 2022 S1000RR. At the first service I had complete M4 exhaust, Brentune Stage 2, and the Sprint air filter put on. All done by me. Since I have put LighTech chain adjusters, Vortex 44T aluminum Sprocket, and the lighter rear brake rotor. Very easy bike to ride. It all depends on the rider.

Love the s1k. Regardless of modes maneuverability on the street any bike that has the ability to go from 0-100 mph in mere seconds probably isnt a good first choice. From experience Even on a ninja 400 one wrong throttle pull on the wrong street can end badly

3 times pulled over all for speeding and the worst one was 110mph on a 65mph and I always respect the officer. Don’t argue and accept my fault. Believe it or not, I have never gotten an actual ticket. Just a nice short talk and warning and I was let go!

I think in stock form it could be handled by a beginner. After stage 2 BTmoto set up, the bike is insane.

Rain mode doesn't feel like a 400cc. It's even more powerful than a 650cc parallel twin.

Ur video on the V4s vs S1k made my mind, I’m 19 and finna get my first bike so thanks again on the advice on the comfort for a daily.

Wow. I'm on stock battlax s22's 190 I think, and at 8,000 miles this thing is toast. So squared off it's not even funny. I've never intentionally burned out on this bike but the engine brake is like slamming the brake in my opinion. So even just backing off the throttle quick is dragging tire and rubbing away. Maybe I should try that Dunlop. I'm definitely getting something different this time around seriously. Good vid. Keep vibing.

Imo any bike can be a beginner bike depending the rider. I grew up having dirt bikes. So when I was ready to roll around 17. I learned on my dad's busa. And loved it. Now I have a liter bike. Zx10r kaw actually. But I think someone who's familiar with riding something like a dirtbike 4 wheeler etc? Then you could start on any bike imo. Some say 600cc but in time you will probably want something bigger? And with bikes being expensive asf now. It might be easier to get you a liter bike from start?

I have a ducati 796 as my first bike falled whit her 3times, almost broke my hand . Than i decides to buy sk1rr my friend say you gonna die you already fall 3times . I don't care what they said so i buy a sk1rr 2017 i found this bike so easy and confortable for me 6'3' already did 15kmiles never fall once whit the bmw the first 2k mile i stuck in rain/road mode to learn the bike.... Best bike I ever had

Nice vid!

I cant wait to get a bike😭

Ape Rider, do you think a person who is 6'3' tall can go touring on the s1000RR for long distances in good comfort?

What GoPro settings are you running it looks awesome

Yeap, I couldn't agree more on the s1000rr since it has a lot of tech and comfortable to get acclimated to as a new rider even if it is a super sports with a lot of power. I also didn't know that rain mode feels like a 400cc, that's crazy.

I want the 2012 s1k as the first
