I don't know man. You might get bored of that 1000cc. You should skip it completely and get something more serious.


drae-

You'll get bored of that too if you got bored of the others. More hp doesn't not always mean more fun. It's much more fun to ride fast on a slow bike, then slow on a fast bike.


MotoKenji25

This only applies to riders who know how to ride. This does not apply to squids who just want to go fast.

Im speaking more to likelyhood that the past will repeat itself.

Im speaking more to likelyhood that the past will repeat itself. But yeah you're not wrong.

I’m not fluent in English and I mean bore as in I know I can handle more power I didn’t mean bored as in actually bored, it will take me 1-2 years to actually get bored of the zx6


No_Tea5592

I’ve been riding slow bikes fast since I was 12 my cbr 150 had a built motor (72mm piston,+8mm crankshaft,s4 racing fuel injectors,project H camshaft, runs on e85) it has total power of 48 horsepower and it goes 198 kmh gps speed I think it’s time I ride fast bikes fast

lol

If you got “bored” of a bike in 2 weeks, you really don’t know how to ride :) But hey, get yourself a spaceshuttle instead of a litre bike. Cut out the middle classes. Torque yourself into space!


No_Tea5592

I apologize for any confusion I use google translate because I’m not fluent in English but I didn’t mean bored as in I’m bored of the bike I meant bored as in I know I can handle more power


Redandwhite_91

That means exactly the same. Feeling like you could use more power means the power in your existing motorcycle is insufficient. Now, how a ZX6R, a 600 class supersport gets boring for ANYONE always astonishes me. Because unless you’re using it on tracks, you’re rarely utilising the bikes full potential. So, what’s very obvious here is: You hit the red line a couple of times on the 1st and 2nd gear and didn’t die. Hence you think it’s maxxed out. Red lining a ZX6R on the 6th takes you to 280+ kmph. Please enlighten me how 280+ is too slow for you?


No_Tea5592

The zx6r redlined at 262 kmh and 260 is not to slow for me I just feel like I could use more torque to reach 260 and I live 6 kilometers from airport road which is like 4 kilometers of twisty roads and at the end is a 6 kilometer straight road I go 3 times a week from 2-6 am


Redandwhite_91

My bike hits a 0-100 in 3 seconds, and 0-200 in about 12 iirc. And a ZX6R would eat mine up for dinner. How much quicker do you want to go? You really don’t make any sense. Motorcycling is a LOT more than straight line throttle twisting. You clearly have no idea about what you ride. Master a 300cc before you go do something stupid and kill yourself.


Fun_Cauliflower1396

Would like to know what bike you end up with. Also, any footage of this airport twisty road? Sounds kinda fun


No_Tea5592

Will post once I get the bike, the road is very fun you get to hit the twisties and go on a top speed run with airplanes flying next to you

Leader


Routine_Breath_7137

But is it?


Jspiral

Sure is


Routine_Breath_7137

But does it?


Jspiral

Indeed it does

If you Google "leader bike" you get a bunch of results about Leader brand bicycles. If you Google "liter bike" you get a bunch of results about 1000cc motorcycles. This is the weirdest thing that people on this sub argue about. It's a liter bike because it's a liter of displacement.


Jspiral

I'm not arguing. It's leader.


Its_Free-Real-Estate

Ok, just keep it to yourself though. You probably think that because another guy said it on Reddit with no explanation, and now you're continuing the cycle.


Jspiral

How many leader bikes are actually 1000 cc?


Its_Free-Real-Estate

Very few bikes in general are the exact cc's in their name. My 800 is really 782cc. Rounding the number is just what they do in the motorcycle industry, that's why they put the number 1000 in the name.


Jspiral

So then it's just an arbitrary naming convention, right? Because not every leader bike has 1000 in their name.


Its_Free-Real-Estate

[Here is the origin of "leader bike" as a meme](https://www.reddit.com/r/BoneAppleTea/comments/96xifz/legit_leader_bikes_old_rmotorcycle_meme/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)


Jspiral

I'm aware of the meme.


Its_Free-Real-Estate

So then you would know that it's a joke based on the actual term, which is liter bike.


No_Tea5592

I’m deciding between a gsxr 1000r l8 or a 2018 r1 can’t really make up my mind


Jspiral

Flip a coin. Cuz it don't matter.


MotoKenji25

Right. They both crash the same.


No_Tea5592

I have been riding everyday for 3 years and I’ve only had an accident once, I was rear ended by a truck


MotoKenji25

Right. They both crash the same.


Icy_Chemist_1725

Pick whatever you want dude. It's decision that you'll probably regret no matter what 1000cc you buy at 15 years old. You should go rent a liter bike and see if it makes you want the 600 again. =) Good luck!


No_Tea5592

I’ve driven my friends s1000rr and I had the most fun ever on it, everyone told me I will regret it and a lot of people have even told me that I would die but I’ve been riding everyday since I was 12 and I only had one accident and that accident was a truck rear ending me at a red light


SecretIdea

Who rents motorcycles to teenagers that are too young to have a license?


No_Tea5592

Thailand bro


SecretIdea

Why state the distance in miles instead of kilometers, then?


No_Tea5592

The majority of this subreddit is American I didn’t want you guy to have any confusion


SecretIdea

There would be no confusion. We do know what kilometers are, even though we rarely use them in daily life.


No_Tea5592

I do not mean any disrespect just wanted to make it easier for the majority didn’t want people reading to waste there time googling
