I’ve ridden my CBR 600 RR for the first season, and I’m ready to throw out the rays of “experience” on the first bike post person I meet. Since there is still a carriage and a cradle from the Urals before the season, I will describe everything in colors and point by point, with pictures for girls who don’t care about reading but want to look at beautiful motorcycles) Of course, the post is primarily aimed at beginners who are interested in then from my observations it may seem useful, and grandpas can just look at pictures with their girls))) So where to start...

1. About the Honda CBR 600 RR motorcycle itself - it would seem that everything is a sport. The authorities of the sofa goldwings look contemptuously and say “and these shrimp trips of yours...” I cannot agree. During my first season, I drove four thousand on it, with trips to work home and rides on weekends, a lot or a little? I don’t know!) But here’s what I can say for sure: I don’t get tired of it. Maybe it’s my Apollo athlete figure or my low weight of 70 kg, but throughout the entire season I never once reached out to straighten my stiff back or stand farting in a traffic jam while stretching my buttocks. The most that bothered me was the numbness of my left hand from the clutch in a traffic jam, when some notorious guy was demonstratively blocking the aisle for me! Yes, of course, I wouldn’t go long distance in a sports car, but getting to Moscow Raceway, for example, is not difficult for me, and there’s simply no reason for me to go further. Bottom line - go in for sports and you will be comfortable in the shrimp position (this does not apply to R6 owners, the landing there is generally hellish, I probably would have broken down on it too) Otherwise - the dynamics of a vigorous rocket, nimble like a moped, gas, well, yes, it eats , but not fatal. And in principle, if you don’t get rowdy, it doesn’t even come out of 10 liters (these are my rough calculations, so let’s not dwell on this topic), but if you let it shit once, it drains the tank, like a crazed homeless person who received a bottle of beluga. It is not fussy about maintenance, does not consume oil, does not destroy rubber at normal tire pressure, I don’t even know what to add.

About the equipment A topic worthy of a separate post, I will only say briefly, mainly again for beginners. Don't waste your money. Even before the motorcycle, I went to the company store and bought an AGV head, a leather jacket with a hump and a spine and Dainese peppers and white stormtrooper boots from the same company))) (not as an advertisement, just stating a fact). It’s a little hot in a leather jacket to stand at a traffic light in the summer, but it’s tolerable, and the main thing is that once you drive, the magic of micro-perforation does its job and you feel comfortable. Honestly, I didn’t bother with thermal underwear, maybe I’ll get to that later. Helmet - I immediately ordered the original tinted visor, it’s simply impossible to ride in an aquarium in sunny weather, the sun tries to burn your nostrils as if through a magnifying glass, in cool weather in the fall I open the visor slightly because my nozzle sweats mercilessly, the model is not top-end - I chalked it up to that... Boots, I don’t feel the heat at all, although after hour-long rides you take off your boots and your sock is wet. This is strange, but oh well))) Gloves are the most unpleasant thing about them, black leather ones instantly get wet and soaked in sweat in the heat, your hands begin to stink so that sometimes you don’t even want to take off your gloves, so as not to kill a person passing by. Ultimately, in very hot weather I skated in thin Reebok CrossFit gloves.

About motorcycle battalions My first acquaintance took place after 4 rows, when a Batovite dropping a Big Mac saw the sport at the beginning of the season and decided that he had hit the jackpot and almost dropped his motorcycle to turn on the siren. A resounding disappointment awaited him, because everything was in order with me, like an exemplary first-season student, and here are the numbers according to the regulations and these are the insurance and these are the categories and in general I felt so sorry for him that I asked him “Well, what’s a goose?” That?" and he, as if switching to the mode of an ordinary motorcyclist, told me about this Bavarian miracle and generally turned out to be the nicest person. In general, I met bahts only a couple of times during the season, in the spring, and then they disappeared, and God bless them, they have nothing to take from me anyway))) As one serious penguin said, “We smile and wave” lyrical digression - it makes me laugh every time The policeman takes your license, looks at the photo, and then at your face, which is hidden under a mask and helmet, and nods, like, “Well, he’s whatever! his eyes” and NEVER asks to take off his helmet))) I find this funny.

About city driving I confess that no matter how much I tried to persuade myself not to struggle with speed in the city, I failed this idea. To go up to 250 across the bridge on the vernadka is absolutely sacred in the middle of the night while no one is there. It’s difficult to constantly pull yourself together and remind yourself of the cruelty that often happens to self-confident riders, but if I didn’t do this, I’d probably clean up 5 times a day until I rode off to the heavenly harbor. In fact, I can say for myself that in the aisles I don’t pile between basins standing in a traffic jam, it’s just ridiculous, to say the least, when every third motorist tries to open the door to spit or throw out a jar or something else... and then you run up to his door and take it away into the sunset! I don’t play chess on the road either, it’s still more banal here, I’m just afraid of our neighbors from the sunny friendly republics cutting through all sorts of Helens or, mother forbid, priors! What I sometimes see on the roads in the performance of 05 numbers is difficult to even describe in words, I just started turning my head with triple the force after 2 months of traveling. There is also the Marking - this marking is such a beast, but it’s difficult to say anything specific here, you need to drive along it once in the rain and all the posts on forums and in groups that mention anything about the marking will immediately run before your eyes... and you’ll say “ oh wow!” Even between us girls, I didn’t even try to master wheelies and stoppies and this d... och with burning rubber while standing still. I just know that this is killing my motorcycle, which I didn’t get from my mom and dad as a gift, but was bought with my blood and sweat, and I just don’t do it. dot. Maybe someday it will inspire me to build a stunt bike and I’ll fool around with it, but I just don’t want to break the chain and force the fork on my motorcycle (MY FIRST MOTORCYCLE FOR A MINUTE), and I don’t recommend it to others. By the way, I didn’t have any accidents during the season, once I dropped my bike in the parking lot with the front buried in the rubble, I didn’t even understand how, and once some outcast teleported into my row without a turn signal, I tore his door with an arc, fortunately my speeds weren’t great Not a scratch on the bike, apparently karma.

About motorcycle services If you, like me, were not born in a garage with an overweight tire, then you have problems. Services are often a bunch of fagot amateurs who don’t see the difference between a Riga moped and a Ducati Desmosedici RR. And naturally, due to the specific nature of motorcycling, prices here break the ceilings in multi-story buildings. Therefore, my (brotherly) advice to you is to learn to do minimal maintenance on your own in the garage/yard/or even in the apartment. Change the oil, fluid, pads, cables, handles, lamps, in general, everything that will not affect your chances of survival if you assemble something wrong! =))) Or you can follow my path and pay a lot of money to some idiots , which will accumulate so much that, willy-nilly, you will learn to repair your motorcycle yourself, because no one else will take it on. Ultimately, I was lucky to find adequate guys in the vastness of Moscow, who, by the way, do not specialize in sports, but it was wildly exciting to dig through manuals and all sorts of repair topics with them in order to understand how to do this or that action on my motorcycle during pre-season maintenance . Replacing spark plugs... mmm... you are forever in my liver) If I knew then everything that I know now, I would have saved so much money that I would have had enough for a Yoshimura exhaust and a rhizome tank. In general, by hook or by crook, search your friends for any adequate mechanics and contact them, do not trust a single post on the forum, and especially not any reviews in the “reviews about us” column. Your chance of running into an honest workshop on the Internet is close to zero.

About trips to the MRW track - expensive Firsa - kindergarten Ball - apparently our option

finished here.

Well, about the motorcycle fraternity. Lately I have noticed a lot of whining about “the motorcycle fraternity is no longer the same,” “the motorcycle fraternity is dead.” I tell you to eat it in person. I once stopped on the Third Transport Ring to ask how things were going with a guy whose grandfather hit him in a right-handed Japanese car, the turn signal and slider were torn out, but the guy himself was alive and well, waiting for the police. We chatted with him about everything in the world and while we stood there for about 30 minutes, EVERYONE stopped near us! Every single motorcycle and even a couple of scooters asked if they needed help, but for those not in the know, I’ll say that in the summer a LOT of motorcyclists pass by three in half an hour. I stopped counting after 18 people. Of course, we let everyone go immediately and in the end none of them helped in any way because it was unnecessary, but the fact remains. And this is just one example. There were many different cases. But I can definitely say that motorists are 95 percent nobody to each other. Nobody cares about you. In the world of bros there are only LONG BOYS)))) and motorcyclists, both of them are ready to break their ass to help a person in trouble. Those who like to sit at the show and trade in plastic may not agree with me, but personally, I didn’t even decide for myself, I just helped and will help, because it’s normal, and it’s not normal to sit around at Moscow State University instead of going on rides)))

And finally. Thanks to those who mastered not only the pictures. Those wishing to add their valuable observations for yellowthroats, please add them to the comments below)

Peace for everyone!

Pros and cons of Japanese Sports

Well, now my clumsily crooked little hands have gotten to the pros and cons of the CBR 600rr. I’ll look at the example of my ’09 conic.

for the place of prayer - “Let me not be biased by writing this post, and if I am biased, may Zeus’ lightning strike me.” Well, here we go. Preface: - Many, many people choose sports because it is a Beautiful Plastic SPORT! (it’s like with an Apple iPhone, but let’s not make a holivar of Mobile technology here, this is not what this site was made for.) Pros: +Automatically increases the size of the owner’s testicles, which is why the owner considers himself more significant in society (for some, showing off is more valuable than money ). +Self-esteem increases (It’s easier to glue “Madams”) Many people buy sports for this purpose. Yes, and some women fall for this (but I haven’t personally tested it.) +Fast, sharp - like childish diarrhea “Wah, three seconds to a hundred, I’m TEBE atvichau brother” + Mountain of adrenaline - if you rush in (On the track, well, for some around the city!) +Behaves more calmly on the road in relation to the rider, not wild like the R6 for example. + Softer driver's seat. (Only the stock Jixer 600 is softer) The butt-shaped seat is like a bench. zx6r and R6 - oak driver's saddles - specifically for beating YasE. +Excellent box, soft, sticks in without problems and catches on the “N”. + weight (lighter, easy to steer.) + Consumption on average is 5-7 liters, depending on driving style.

Now let's move on to reality and note the Opposite side of this coin: -Dear tsuk, in every sense of the word. The mot itself costs a lot of kilorubles. Next Repair: both external and internal. Plastic - if it's fucked up, repairs, expensive, painting, etc. (In principle - Falling is always expensive). Consumables - Oil, tires, the most expensive iridium spark plugs from Honda compared to other 600cc. and stuff like that. -If registered, then the 120+ horses written in the PTS will cost a lot of money in the form of tax, provided that the motorcycle is used for six months due to the season. -Does not forgive mistakes of beginners. Therefore, it is not recommended as the first mot. -Weight (blows away on the highway with oncoming trucks) -There is no speed sensor on the dashboard (like a JIK or CAV), some people don’t care, but at first you sometimes forget what speed you are going at. -Inconvenient fit (albeit more gentle than that of competitors 600cc) My back and legs still go numb. Definitely not for long-distance travelers. -A mountain of plastic. To change something, you need to disassemble the floor of the motorcycle. -Equipment is very desirable: boots, overalls.

-+ Those who don’t know how to brake will easily block the wheels. Because the machine brakes are very sensitive.

The post will be updated as I remember
