Starting On A 600cc Yamaha R6 As A First Bike?

I get what you're saying but I'm 6"6, most bikes don't fit me. The 600rr fit me okay and dual sports really fit me

What up bro ?
Shout out from redlands

I started on an R6, but I also was being trained to do Amateur MotoGP. So I actually learned how to race first (of course after the basics) and it's not a terrible thing to start on an R6 but the caveat to that is I was in a relatively controlled environment (a track).

When I moved to riding on the streets I WAS TERRIFIED. In this scenario, I would have preferred to have had a smaller bike. It's a lot of things that happen that just aren't prepared for and because you can whip the smaller bike around it'll save you a bunch (but the power of the R6 also saved me from a few idiots that i'm not confident a smaller bike would have)

I think a good midway bike would definitely be an R3, Ninja 250, Cbr 250. I now have an R6, Katana (for them long rides) and am in the middle of purchasing a 250.

One thing I will disagree with Spence about is the boredom aspect of starting big. I took a YZ250f for a spin on the roads the other day AND HOLY SHIT I HAD A TON MORE FUN THAN I EVER HAD ON MY R6. The key to not getting bike fatigue is definitely switching up the style. The supermotos have so much low end torque, that when I ride them around campus I get so much out of it versus the bigger bikes.

very fast, i started on a r6 and i havent had the need to change 10 years on.

Thank you for the info man I've been wondering if I should start on a R6 or a smaller bike but it's greatly appreciated man.

Thanx man for great video, i am fighting with myself, next year i wanna buy a bike and i don't wanna go over 600-700cc so am thinking GSXR or R6...btw u got a new sub,keep doing what u do,great vidz ;)

You are number 1 quoting spongbob ◾️ pants

Nice video, but pls talk slowly 😅

My first bike will be r6 year 2009+. I am not gonna try to sit on different 600cc bikes, i just have to like the sitting position on the r6.
R6 is the only 600cc i can look at every day and be like: ohhh, you are so beautiful and the love of my life! <3

What about going from a harley 883 to a sports bike, still start small and then 600 in terms of safety, appreciation, and all the elements you mentioned?

I had 3 r6s before my 15 r1, R6 was my first bike but a cheap one 2001 model . I got completely comfortable on an 600 before moving to a litre bike. I've never fallen off or dropped a bike, & rode motor cross when I was younger. It's all about the person and if your responsible enough to ride a bike capable off 170mph. My r6 was so much fun I miss it already

Lol i learned shifting on a 2005 R6 when i was 15. All My friends had R125 or KTM125 when i was 16 and i came to school with an R6 :D

I'm around 5'8 120lbs and new to riding, don't have much experience riding but I have gotten a feel for my friend's gsxr600 and ridden dirtbikes probably 4-5 times before. I'm good with manual cars and learned quickly on the dirtbikes and my friends gixxer, and I know how to control myself and be careful. Would you recommend this as a starter bike for me?

Turn your high beam off dick

Honestly choosing a R3 or R6 , I'm about 5'6 . Most likely will just get both in the future the smaller ones seem more fun though easier turns ect

are you on crack you are talking way to fast holy hell! calm down dude! made made my ass nervous.

CAN SOMEONE WHOS 5'7-5'8 RIDE A R6? didnt feeel like putting it in lower caps because it was too late by the time I noticed

I had a dream of owning an R6 as my first bike so 3 weeks later I write this comment with a fractured tibia, fishtailed the bike lost control

slooow the fuck down, its exhausting to listen to you

My hairdresser asked me how much cc i had, so i said 125.

Then he tells me he wants to get a hayabusa.

And i was looking at him like: wtf first bike? Are you sure?
