  • I am a new rider, about 3 weeks experience. Already gone down already so I know how it feels to go down and it is not nice. I did take the MSF course, but i tried out the bike before and that didn't go well. I'm hoping to get feedback on my riding.

    Nice bike.
    Got myself a 2020 Ninja 650 with 2300 miles on it to reward myself for being debt free and 30 years old, haha.
    Fantastic bike.

    For all the 16,17,18 yr olds asking how to convince your parents, trust me, unless your parents ride, it’s hard, sometimes you just can’t convince them.
    I had to wait until I was self sufficient with my money and got it on the down low, got chewed out but I got the bike and living life now fs.
    Lastly like he said it’s a-lot more expensive then just an msrp price, I dropped 12,000 on all my equipment and the bike, which was only 5200. Plan each step accordingly and ride smartly

      Exactly. My dad rode a harley, so it was hard to convince him to get a "crotch rocket," but because he had rode before, he was glad i took interest in it as well, which made it easier for me. . My mom gave him a cussing, but it was worth it. Bought myself a ninja 250cc since your girls only 5'4. But yknow if I convert that I'm just 6'0ft.
      The bikes in the shops now. I've been working on it for a bit. Negotiated down to 900 when it priced for 1k. So I got what I paid for.
      Other than that the biggest expenses so far have been gear. I've almost dropped 1.5k just on good gear alone. And now I have to buy parts for the bike as well. So definitely prepare yourself.
      I started saving up quite early because I knew what I wanted, so I had sufficient funds to do so. Now almost 18 and should be ready to ride when the day comes around! That's it for my yap session

      with hard work anybody could do it I'm a broke ass college student got my bike for 2600$ ninja 300 2014 and bought my gear online from the facebook market make sure its clean and the person is clean sometimes the gear is new. Got gloves for 50$ that are worth 110$ got a 1200 shoei snell and dot for 150$ brand new off a chick who barley rode. all i need is the jacket prob gonna buy a armored hoodie. Honestly buy a used bike you'll spend around 3000$ - 10,000$ depending on ur limit and where you live. 1000$ safe zone for msf course, regstering it and insuring it. And another 1000$ on gear if you think that's expensive man work and you'll see you can do it. Been slacking it tho so far got mostly all the gear and some aftermarket parts for my bike. Haven't took the course or registered it gonna save up and do that this month. (19 years old freshman at ucsd)

    I went and got my permit as soon as i turned 18, went to a dealership and bought a brand new 2018 cbr500r. Bike lasted me 2 seasons of riding before i got bored, it will definitely happen to you too. Unless you plan on keeping it to teach someone to ride, or sell it to a friend learning to ride, you're gonna end up getting rid of it lmao. Best to get the drops and growing pains out of the way on a cheaper much slower bike anyway. Been almost 7 years but I have a completely modded out 2020 kawi 636 these days, those extra 2 cylinders make all the difference. Ride safe brother!

  • @dorukturgut8657
    @dorukturgut8657 Před 2 měsíci

    Hey man, about the engine breaking. You should never really use your clutch unless you're at a stand still and taking off, coming to a stand still or going up/down a gear. Letting go off the gas will put the engine in compression and it will slow down the bike. About 60% of the stopping power actually comes from the engine and not the brakes itself. When braking apply the 10% front 30% rear brake ratio and don't overapply the brakes, try to squeeze it like you're squeezing a lemon. Get used to rev matching when downshifting all the time.

    Careful showing where and how to get to your school from your house. A lot of thieves on youtube and will geo locate your area and one day you will come out from school to find your bike missing. Plus you dont need people knowing what your house and garage look like. Begin and end your videos a couple streets away.

    Since you are now on a 400cc, there is no need to upgrade to a 650 cc ,it is basically the same thing 2 cylinders. My suggestion is get comfortable with that 400, and when it's time for you to upgrade, go for a 4 cylinder like 600-1000cc.

      in my opinion miles don’t matter as long as you are willing to take care of it.

    • @JNmotoz
      @JNmotoz  Před 2 měsíci +1

      From my personal experience a 400 is way more forgiving. I already have gone down a couple of times from going too fast, and I felt like if that was a 600 instead of a 400 i would've ended up with a broken leg. A 650 also doesn't have that much more HP then a 400 but everyone has different views.

      It is easier to ask for forgiveness than getting approval.

    Bike looks slow.. You seem a little nervous mate, don't try and ride the bike, learn the corners, the lines..
    Ive been riding since I was 6, im 53 now.. No disrespect but even if you had the dollar! Don't buy a H2.....
    It will go faster than your 400 in 1st gear..
    I had a 93 ZXR 400 & it did 132 mph..
    Why have they restricted these new bikes?
    Step up to a ZX6R.... More power, but all bikes go as fast as you want them to.. Safe riding though mate
