    Liter bikes will completely warp your perception of speed. Having a good deal of riding time on my friend's S1000RR you can hit 80+mph in first gear with only 20% throttle faster than the majority of mid level sports cars can hit 60mph. Makes my Street Triple feel like a toy and while my previous MT-09 had wicked acceleration you would feel it, the BMW isn't even trying.

    ​@@KimmyR3 Sadly manufacturers love to put all the fancy goodies on the liter bikes, serious praise to Aprilia and CFMoto in this regard putting just as much tech in beginner and middle weights, but for the VAST majority of brands you are required to buy a 1000cc+ to get basic electronics like cruise control, heated grips, fully custom rider modes, blue tooth connectivity, Hell I noticed BMW even has heated seats as an option.

    This is a great shout - I have a cbr1000rr right now but I do miss my cbr650r at times, I was way more confident and quicker through corners on it and I learnt so much I'd never have learned on a 1000 or a 600. A 1000 feels bigger and no way near as nimble, despite how laser focused it is when turning in. I also made loads of mistakes on the 650 like accelerating way too hard from stop or in a corner that the TC saved me on and that with the super light throttle on a 1000 I probably would have washed out. learning to cool it on the throttle and finding a set of street tyres that offered better grip than the usually crap for the street stock tyres was a huge takeaway from riding on a smaller bike before jumping up the bores.

    I've had my Honda Firestorm (not even supersports per se but still has clip-ons and a fairly sporty riding position) since 2016 but literally since watching this video my enjoyment and cornering ability has been transformed, mainly by your clear instructions about arm position. Before this bike I only had standard/upright bikes with handlebars not clip-ons. I was already doing most of the other stuff but your clear advice to tuck in the elbows has made it feel like a different bike. It's provided the 'missing link' in improving my riding on this bike. Thank you very much and kudos to you for the great video.

    Coming from a passionate lifelong rider who’s obsession began with a brand new yellow 1984 Yamaha tri zinger 60 atc that santa had left In the kitchen for my third Christmas . (Dang how time flys when we’re having fun) and currently enjoying my first triumph speed triple Keep up the good work brother. Trying to convey how rapidly life comes at you on most any high spirited sport bike especially liter and liter+ machines is all but impossible if you haven’t experienced it personally but I think you did a great job. I guess I understand the urge to fly off of the handle and go big right off the bat with a fire breathing monster for a first bike and some people will do ok but if had to bet that number is low. The first time the unlucky ones have a slip up on 160-190hp machine there’s a good chance even if they walk away unscathed that it will scare them half to death and be their last ride and will miss out on a lifetime of fun. Experiencing a bunch of buck wild horses due to a panic pin will rob a new rider of every ounce of confidence in their body and leave em heartbroken never to ride again. That’s a a sad reality that doesn’t have to happen so again great video touching on areas that are often overlooked and hard to explain. Safe travels everyone! Hope this video is seen by everybody who has a severe case of first bike fever! When you’re just starting out an over abundance of power is only good for reducing confidence and causing massive amounts of fun destroying anxiety.

    I started over a year ago on a 150cc kp mini (Kawasaki z125 clone) and I thoroughly enjoyed it, I built confidence on it quick because I was so limited to speed, and the weight and size made it super easy to throw into a corner. Here recently, I got a cbr 250r as an upgrade, and I’m not just completely struggling with it, but I definitely need a lot more time riding to get more confident taking corners and I think some of these tips are spot on about some problems I have been causing like cutting a corner early or hitting a corner a little faster than I’m comfortable, heck I think it’s a combination of both and it scares me a little bit when I come around a corner a little too fast and on top of that I cut early so I end up on the edge of the lines. None the less, thank you for this video as well as your others, I really enjoy them and they open my eyes on ways I can ride better and safer, keep it up 👍

    You're definitely not alone turning in early when you're scared it just makes logical sense, its a hard mental hurdle to start tipping later cause it feels like you're running red hot off the road. If you have a road or big parking lot you can setup some cones I definitely recommend going and just running it over and over and playing with nothing but tip in timing. ~25-30mph will be fast enough to get you good feedback from your bike at the different tip in points while hopefully being slow enough to allow a proper "late" turn in

    I didn't realize how much different turning, cornering and swerving is on literbike until I bought one. Especially at higher speeds. They will corner so smooth and stable, it's almost effortless, but once you set a line, they do not want to stray from it. They really don't want to change directions. Quick evasive maneuvers are definitely not their thing. I can whip around a 600 but a 1000 will fight me the whole time.

It was a 90 degree turn that was downhill and had pot holes and stuff. I turned, bottomed out my forks and slipped the front wheel, I was able to keep the bike up but ended up exiting the turn wide and went off the road, was slightly breaking and the bike went down as soon as I was off pavement. I broke my femur and lost the bike to the tow yard. Was a sad day lol. Excellent video and explanation! Enjoyed the video very much!

Learning to be smooth on the brakes, and being able to slowdown or stop no matter the conditions, is a super power. Tons of videos of people who are either off brakes or worse on throttle, then realizing the turn was much more than they expected. Know how to use the brakes, you'll never run wide. Another thing is throttle, I would also have mentioned how important it is to not go to the throttle until you are exiting the turn (past your apex) especially with 600s, 1000s, high horsies. Too early and too much, you WILL spin the rears even in the most perfect of conditions.

    I'm a big learn maintenance at safe speeds and get comfortable leaning over before adding anything extra just because learning to really lean is a big mental hurdle for many. But you're right, the second you feel confident leaning and keeping your line at safe speeds its time to slow it back down and learn trail braking in up to the apex. I decided to leave it off this video just because I think its so easy for new guys to run heavy hands into corners and break traction

    I've been watching your videos and others like MotoJitsu to learn more about how to ride my first bike, the Rc390. Really quality info here! I really appreciate your explanations behind technique, front brake, and ergo/body positioning. This stuff makes me less fearful and more aware of the factors at play and the reasons behind them- and this is coming from someone who wiped out going wide thru an increasing-elevation hairpin going left... Thank you and stay cool!

    I was in the market for an RS660 or Tuono 660 as a first bike. Ended up stumbling onto an older super clean RSV Mille for a ridiculously good price. Not a modern 1000, but the torque and usable power makes it pretty manageable. As an older beginner i appreciate these videos and the way you stress riding on the road as fun, but not the place for trying to push track day speeds.

Even though i’ve done 3 seasons i’m still looking for new input and your videos are nice, informative and helpful. New to me was the throttle of the 1000, that they are so ”sensitive”. I drive the gsxs 750 so abit more forgiving! Also enjoy your calm presentation style, with some humor to things! 👌 from Sweden!

    Nice video, hope new riders see this kind of videos more often even before buying a bike, and yea definitely start on a 125~150 cc if possible (I would avoid mini bikes like grom if you want to ride big bikes later), heck I even think a 250cc is way too fast for a beginner, a 250cc can do 160 km/h and I imagine most beginners also don’t have good protection gear, any accident above 60 km/h will be very serious without gear.

    Turning in late is not only a better line which gets you closer the the apex and keeps you from running too wide but its a faster and straighter line which allows you to see the exit quicker and corner faster. Country roads can be narrow and uneven so stick to the speed limits and ride safely.

    I considered starting with 300cc or 450cc bike even though I'm a fresh beginner rider.. I know it's not much for westenees but here in Ph where traffic is bumper to bumper, road condition sucks, and intersections are everywhere, that is quite enough.. What I consider is, if I'm going to buy a very expensive machine and just drop or wreck it, might just consider starting small at least it's cheaper to maintain and replace the parts.. I suggest to jave the same reason.

    One thing that's different with dirt bikes is, elbows should be out. Probably because of how much higher the handlebars are. And should usually grip with ankles more than knees. But should still be loose on the handlebars, and late turn in is usually better too.

    What lens are you using? Narrow? Wild+ strong stabilization? It crops your bars right out. Also you don’t have issues holding your clip ons so close to the controls? Never had any tank clappers doing that? Aside from the reasons I was taught to grip on the opposite end, I find it just much harder to turn when you’re pushing with your grip so far inwards like that (obv do whatever works for you)

    Thanks for sharing your knowledge. That road looks amazing, apart from the pot holes! I'm a new rider on a KLX230s. Can you do a video on coming to a stop from a higher gear (e.g. a traffic light)? The MSF only taught slow speed in 1st or 2nd; pull in the clutch, brake and tap down to 1st gear. I've tried to do some research and some people recommend pulling the clutch, braking and dropping down gears to the appropriate gear as speed is reduced. Others recommend engine braking with rev matching. If you could cover the pros and cons and maybe some exercises to practice I'd appreciate it. Anyway, hope that makes sense. Thank you.

    I get a lot of satisfaction from rev matching my down shifts for engine braking on the highway. The glaringly obvious con to that is you're not using your actual brakes to signal to the driver behind you that you are slowing down, so the best advice is probably pick your time and place accordingly.

    I think it’s personal preference, some people come to a complete stop before shifting all of the way down to 1st, and then people like me, I like to rev match and down shift a couple of gears atleast down to 2nd or 3rd and then make my stop and finally shift down to 1st. If I come up on a turn a little faster than I need to, I’ll down shift and rev match twice super quickly, (usually puts me in 3rd or 4th) and then as I make my turn I clutch in and shift down one more time to end up in 2nd gear. My bike is a cbr 250r so 1st is steep and my 2nd gear runs around 13-35mph so that’s my go to gear for just about every turn

    just blip the throttle for finding neutral with slightly more revs i find it easier, and also finding neutral just before you are at a standstill is also easier, ie slowing down just before you are stationary select neutral hence why people find neutral easier between 1/2 when they don't want it riding (more revs and moving) vs when they do standing still

    I have a question brother , when turning/cornering, are we supposed to be pushing down on the handlebars to slightly lean into turns/corners or push forward? I can't imagine how pushing forward makes sense but if it's the right way to do it I know I should invest in practicing that, but my main question is are we supposed to push down or push forward to turn? I'm very confused 😂
