I‘m 16 years old and am going to get my car and motorcycle license in about half a year. Although I don‘t have experience on the road by myself. I feel confident in my abilities and am eager to start on a 2008 Honda CBR600rr. I‘m not looking for people to tell me Oh you shouldn‘t start on a 600cc bike. Rather I‘m looking for tips and advice to improve my knowledge of what and what not to do. I have never driven a motorcycle yet but will definitely take the safety courses and be responsible in learning to ride the CBR600rr. Any advice from starting up the bike, to riding it on a main highway wIll be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
In crowded areas do not split traffic, make shure the cars around you know where you are. If you have a manual#x2F;clutch bike then practice not stalling it, you will look stupid stalling your bike on a public road. I learned on a dirtbike, thats the best place to learn if you have a friend that has one or something.
Are you F*cking insane? A CBR600RR is a high-powered sportsbike intended for experienced riders on tracks, not newbies on the road. You may take as many courses as you like, but without practical experience and several years building your skills YOU WILL PROBABLY KILL YOURSELF. To put it in perspective, it will out-accelerate a Dodge Viper to 100mph with about a quarter-inch throttle movement between off and full-on batsh1t acceleration. Read up on the number of New riders, say the first year, who kill themselves on sportsbike and think again before you hand more.ammo to the #x27;ban deadly motorcycles#x27; lobbyists. Start with something forgiving, e.g. a 250, there are reasons why most of the world limits New riders to 125cc and newly tested riders to low hp (33 vs the CBR#x27;s 100+) for a few years after they pass the test.
Great choice! As for a motorcycle, ride like a normal person. Don't try to impress others by doing wheelies or burnouts. People don't really care if your bike can do a burnout or wheelie. You need to be very experianced when doing a wheelie. Sure it looks easy, but if you land down at the slightest angle, your done. Don't tailgate, wear your gear, don't mess around with cars(brake check etc.), don't speed, and don't race. Take a MSF course so you know how to handle situations if they appear. When riding on the main highway stay to the right of the lane you are in. That way anybody who is merging will be more likely to see you. Don't ride in the center, as there could be oil slicks or debris. Also, always be aware of your surroundings, if you find yourself boxed in by cars, get out of there ASAP. The less cars around you, the more space you have to move around if anything does happen(for example, somebody moves into your lane). Also, get a visible helmet along with gear. Get a visible color on your bike too(get any color but black). The helmet is the first thing a person focuses on because it is the highest point of the bike.
