any bike will go at walking speed so why would people say a 600cc bike is any more dangerous than a 125?
Do you have a cat A licence?

Oh FFS you just made me click on a vlog

They're dangerous if you're in the habit of whacking the power on, or if your clutch control's a bit shit. The weight can be dangerous as well depending on your experience, if you f**k up on a bend you aren't going to be able to muscle your way out of the situation like you can on a 125. However in some situations they can be safer, better brakes and extra power to get you out of trouble (much better for overtaking etc.).

Any bike is only as safe, or as dangerous, as the bloke, or bird, riding it.

Get what you want, what you're comfortable with and don't get something just because some anonymous muppet in a video tells you it's want you should be on.

I passed a year ago. I'm not a good rider. I got a 500cc first. It was boring (more down to the bike than the engine capacity). I then got a 400cc scooter. Much more fun. Now I'm on a 650cc. This one is just right for me at the moment. It can blast past a lot of vehicles on crawler lanes or at traffic lights.
It's a piece of cake to ride. Much, much easier than any of the 125s that I've ridden and definitely the easiest of the big bikes that I've ridden (including the Gladius that I learned on) at any legal speed limit, including walking speeds.
I think it's down to the bike, rather than the capacity. But there's a strong possibility that you'll get bored with the smaller engine. And it's gotten me out of a fix or two when I've needed the extra oomph to avoid a situation.

You have to give it to him, this is new spamming technique we haven't seen before.

Still one too many mistakes though, obvious spam is obvious.

Why does EVERY 'motovlogger' (ugh!) in the UK sound like a whiny, nasal, shandy-drinking southern puff office wallah who's as weak as chip shop vinegar?

EVERY one of them.

Went straight to a 600 Yamaha after I passed
Got a months worth of riding I and I feel safer than I ever did on a 125
The comments about stability I think are right and as for speed it will only go as fast as you let it

[Bikeless]

Is there an extra powerful vlogger spam button?
