So I bought a brand new 07 600rr about 3 months ago. First bike ever. Ive never realy road befor axept like a dirt bike here and there. Well ive been riding with my uncle and some friends, some gsxrs, 636's and r6's but any ways ever one says im too sure omy self im to comfterable. Now i Just feel good, i feel right on my bike when i ride. what is wrong with this ? [IMG]

They're telling you to tone it down a notch before you hurt yourself. Just because you think you're riding well doesn't mean you actually are.

 

I hear ya But I dont really ride that crazy like i dont go that fast i dont get that low and i dont bugg out with my bike. unless im by my self in a safe area with no cars people or bikes.

 

i learned on a 636 and i they said the same stuff to me, kill joys... keep it safe, but stay confident in your riding

 

thats what i always thought (be confidant in your riding) Right ?

 

It is just that the most accidents occur within the first 6 months of owning a motorcycle. The new 600RR is what I want but I don't think I could confidently learn on a bike that powerful. The 600's these days are as fast as 1000's 7 years ago. It takes about a year to get your reflexes to react in the way you want them to. Just remember, slow in, fast out.

 

There is a very thin line between confident and over-confident.

Just make sure you ride at your own pace, never go in above your head.

No need to try and keep up with Rossi just yet. Slow is steady, steady is fast.

 

there is a fine line between being confident and knowing ones limits.

The most dangeous time in a riders timeline is not when he first begins riding but when he becomes comfortable, confident... this idea always kept me inline.

 

I've been riding for a little over 2 years now and I'm confident in my riding, but never completely comforable. I always assume the drivers around me can't/doesn't/haven't seen me. Over 50% of motorcycle accidents happen within 5 miles of riders homes when they are the most comfortable to their surroundings.

 

All I can say is that the second you stop respecting the bike, it will stop respecting you.

 

To tell you the truth learining on my 600 is going really good for me respecting my bike is deffently #1 for for me and as far as everyone else on the road I look at them as if they are aiming to kill me.

 

i hope you ride better than you spell

 

Goe taalk too you're mami aboot here missin you're lass bicke peymant.

 

dont been to relaxed or stiff same time just be aware of the stuff beside you like traffic, gravel, oil, pothole etc its the little thing that gets you

 

YEAH!!!

 

I would just take an MSF course... they teach you alot of good stuff

 

My first bike was an 07 600RR too. I never felt like the bike was too much for me. I respected its power and never even redlined it the whole time I had it. I never had any interest in stunting, I never leaned too low. Just know your limits. And regardless of how many times a driver looks at you they still cant see you or dont remember you are there. Both times I was run out of my lane I had made eye contact with the drivers of the other cars or were slightly ahead of them within a minute of them pushing me out of my lane. Thank god there was space enough for me in other lanes or I would have been toast.

You
Other Drivers

How about you lose the attitude because remember YOU are the one with 6 posts, YOU are the one asking for help, and YOU are the one who can't spell. Lose the attitude and you will get a lot more respect in the /26.

Nevermind, I have to go whine to my mommy about missing my last bike payment, noob.

It's no wonder the more experienced tell you you're "too sure of yourself".

exactly my thoughts. You come in here asking if you're too confident, and then you cop an attitude to people, probably the same way you cop an attitude to people telling you to be safe.

Just wear your gear, think smart, and don't do anything reckless. If you haven't taken MSF i'd recommend it as they'll teach you a lot of good habits.
I started on a 600 too against everything i read on the internet, and MSF gave me a lot of good habits and was just generally a big help.

 

LOL FIRST BIKE 07 600RR YOUR DUMB

GO....DRINK A BEER AND ****.

 

I love honda-tech justice

but seriously... what are you trying to accomplish by coming in here and telling us all this? -___-

 

Alot of people say that you learn on something less powerful and work your way up. I've known people that learned on liter bikes. I think that if you RESPECT the bike you can learn on anything, its just a matter of how disciplined you are. With this being said, is learning on a smaller bike just a comfortable safety margin?

I am new to bikes and will be getting my license in a couple months.
