I’m 41 years old, learned to ride motorcycles when I was a kid then went a while without riding. I’ve gotten back into riding a little over a year ago and haven’t looked back. My current bike is a KLR 650 but I really want to get the CBR1000RR. I can say I’m a very safe and cautious rider. I know the CBR will be quite a bit faster than what I’m used to but will it be too much? I don’t have the luxury of buying smaller bikes to move my way up to the liter bike so whatever I decide on is basically what I’ll have to make due with. I feel like I’d rather have more than I need than to have less than I want. It seems everywhere I read folks online attempt to scare those wanting a liter bike off the idea. I see others saying their first bike was a liter bike and it’s nothing to worry about as long as you take your time. My other concern is the fact I’m 6’4″ and don’t want to feel cramped on a bike that may be too small.
Cycle Cruza I’ve been watching your videos and feel like you have a good grasp on my situation since you ride a dual sport and the supersport. Maybe you could even make a video talking about the differences between the two bikes and what I might be in store for. Personally I don’t think I’ll have an issue as long as I take it easy on the throttle and brakes until I’ve gotten used to the bike. Am I missing something?
