This week is my first Dlog where I take the dog for a walk and talk about my riding experiences and concepts. The first one is going to be about owning and living with a 1000CC Supersport motorcycle aka my R1. Key points: - Cost to buy - Maintenance - Stereotypes - Comfort *note I said 10L but I meant 18L - bike is 6L per 100KM* Get my APStars SP2 Gloves: https://goo.gl/yYmLu5 Get my APStars Leather Jacket: https://goo.gl/Plzz5V Get my APStars Leather Pants: https://goo.gl/sqh6ND Get my Bell Carbon Helmet: https://goo.gl/islJrR Get my APStars SMX Plus Boots: https://goo.gl/jMoSFC Get my GoPro: https://goo.gl/A3fbhJ Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/Realistridertv Google Plus: http://gplus.to/RealistRider Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RealistRiderAU Twitter: https://twitter.com/RealistRider Instagram: https://instagram.com/realistridertv/ Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/c/RealistriderTv Riding: 2013 Yamaha R1 Setup: Bell Star Carbon, GoPro Hero 4, Drift Ghost HD, Sena 20S Gear: Alphinestars Jawbone/Dririder Airflow jackets, Alpinestars SP1, Alpinestars SMX Plus, Alpinestars Racing Leather/Draggin Jeans/Dririder Airflow pants Editing Software: Sony Vegas Movie Studio 11 HD All rights reserved.

I've an 08 (4C8) and it only gets more expensive with age :-/ Still worth it, though, just about. Never browse pro-bolt website mate, it'll take all your money. Safe riding :-)

Also tires, they are more expensive and the hard acceleration eats them faster.

A Dlog! Interesting concept mate! I like it!
But next time take the dog for a walk down the beach where all the bikini girls are.
You'll get twice as many subs that way!
Having the bike in the background riding around was a good idea.

Nice insight and video angle too with the scenic views ^^

Great video now. I'm now a little more prepared for when I get a litre bike :D

I'm seriously thinking about getting a 1000cc supersport for my next bike just having self doubt can I trust myself on riding on the street

I'd love to have a cross plane R1 like yours, one day maybe.

How do find it riding in traffic and filtering with a big bike?

Big thing I got was the thing will try and do loops and kill you

Great vid mate very helpful 🐨👍🏻

I can finally watch this! Had it saved for days.. Just been so busy haha.

Quite like the POV aspect. I expect you'll have a new bike this tax year ;) Just like last year hahaha.

Think you might have the worlds most fuel efficient r1 if it's doing 300km to 10 lt.
That's 84 mpg or 3.33 l/100.
I get about 1/4 of that out of my fz1

300 km from 10 litres? i get that from the 21 litre tank on my xjr1300. also you did not mention tyre costs. i am a big guy on a big motorcycle, and tyres cost me roughly 10-12 cents per k.

many people have the misconception that motorcycles in general are cheap transport. acb125 is cheap transport, a litre motorcycle is a stylish way to get where you are going with a smile on your face

Nice vid mate. Pretty informative and I will be using this for future reference :) Will hopefully give me an insight when I consider a 1000cc motorcycle myself!

My liter bike lives with me.

Very cool and great information man! Thinking between gsxr600, ninja636 or the R1...

If anyone is interested in realistic fuel consumption data check out http://www.fuelly.com/motorcycle. It's not comprehensive as I don't think the site is widely known, but it can give you a good idea as to what a bike's running fuel costs can be under real-world situations. I track all my data there for the bikes I've owned, and there's an app you can use to easily add in any fuel-ups.

10 litres to fuel up and you get 300km's out of that , I would say that's good mileage

Cheers mate, I know you mentioned CTP, but did your insurance go up for it as well. I know that when I first bought my bike and insured it the company put it down as a DR650 instead of a DL650....... difference in costs is about $250 for full comprehensive, just makes me want a DR even more lol

I feel I have the same issue with the throttle on my bike.

Interesting insights. Like the vid style, that road and scenery was stunning.

The $$$ associated with a bigger bike; so damn true! Worth it for the extra amount of fun you can have though
