Yeah the first time you move up its scary, but it puts a nice big smile on your face at the sametime.

I cannot wait to experience that.

I'm going to test ride a dozen of bikes before I jump on the one I really want

[Villers]

Imagine being in 4th gear as the speedo is going up as fast as the rev counter and youre doing something like 140 with no drama at all!

Miss it a bit to be honest!

I loved it! Bit scary at the start (and when pulling up, having to stop such a big bike an all) but friggin loved it!

[Devans]

Ahh the 1st day i hit V-tec

My first ride of a big bike was an XJR1300. It involved me redlining it in 1st gear. It felt pretty rapid but not really insane.

Funnily enough I only realised how torquey the XJR1300 was after I had owned the zzr600 for a while. I guess when I had the CG125 I expected all big bikes to have that torque. Tbh the brakes and weight scared me more and I kept locking up the rear wheel by accident because it was so sensitive compared to the CG's rear drum and 6 inches of pedal travel.

Big bikes don't feel so powerful once you get up the gears so just short shift to try and get used to it first.

[Alexio]

I know the feeling. I think a bit more than a year in from riding around on my Honda CG I jumped on a friends' big bike and gave it some.

Looking down and seeing 80 or 90mph for the first time is incredibly scary. On a small bike 65MPH takes absolutely forever to reach and is full of awful wind and vibrations. Those fast speeds are a sudden surprise to see and feel like nothing, that's what's so scary.

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

[SnowTigeress]

the first bike i ever rode was a cbr600 which was my bfs at the time i also had him on the back going down country dirt tracks that was scary....thn i went for my cbt and have had a few different 125`s but had not much lucky with them with 1 thing and another....but hoping to get my test this year and either get myself a cbr6 or maybe a motoguzzi v50

i remember when i was 15 and first got my licence,
i was finally allowed to ride my rgv250. i shat myself (all balls no brains)
even with 10 years riding moto-x it was a frightening experience
going from a 125 to a 600sports you must have been laying eggs

I remember when my mate let me use his ZXR400 on an ehem... closed track, the minute i got it out of the carpark i pinned the throttle exactly as i would my 125 and instantly had a grin from ear to ear.

Rode it like a complete cock for about 15 minutes overtaking 30mph traffic at 120 and realised i had to hand it back before i either killed myself or got into trouble.

I think its that experience thats holding me back from getting a bigger bike.

[DrDonnyBrago]

I went to a 600 CBR from DAS. My first ride on my CBR was one of my best moments ever, scared the arse off me when I cracked the throttle open, the speed just kept on coming and the sound was epic.

I'm hoping there is a similar rush if I ever move up to a litre bike.

[Blau Zedong]

First "big" bike I rode was a GSXR1100 Slabby when I was 17 and yet to pass my test (Usual transport was a Suzuki gAy100). Couldn't tell you much about what it was like as I was nervous as hell and worried about the plod turning up.

I went from the SC125 --> YZF600R.

Not really scary at all, the bit I had to get used to was not countersteering at low speeds like I did on the 125.

Jumped on Itchy CBR600 at the BCF BBQ. But his wasn't the first larger bike than a 125 I had ridden so I was kinda expecting the power.

Practically opened her up.

Bigger bikes = fun.



EDIT* I'm jumping onto a 750 from my 125.

Riding around on a 50 restricted to 30 and then hopping onto someones C1H ZX6R for a little ride up and down the road.. now that is what I call scary.. but incredible exciting.

I jumped on an R1 from a YBR125, just took it easy, pulled off using the clutch most of the time :p

did give it some in first though, it's not as simple as you'd think to lift the front, think i may have managed it up an inch or two at most. 6th gear at 30mph pulled pretty damn quick, even compared to the YBR in 2nd/3rd lol
