mean while in Philippines.. people: " why did you get a 300cc, it's too powerful"

@RahzAlGhul 3 года назад

Exactly

@BfSkinnerPunk 7 лет назад

If you have been riding for two years....steadily as an actual bike commuter....you likely have more skills and road awareness than lots of "more experienced" weekend warrior bikers.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+BfSkinnerPunk Possibly.

@renirn7101 7 лет назад

This video went from a things I hate about it to things I love about my baby video hahaha

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+REV RIDING HOOD Haha, what can I say? I just can't help but love this bike.

@OptimalShot 7 лет назад

REV RIDING HOOD ikr lol

I'm getting a 2016 ninja 300 in passion red this Wednesday! It's going to be my first bike, so excited

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

Dude, thats awesome. Can't wait to hear how you like it.

@BryanEdwardArmijos 8 лет назад

+ThisLifeRiding Thanks man haha any quick tips?

@AxyGAMES 8 лет назад

The bike wont move if the stands down, noone ever told me that one. learnt that the hard way trying to change into gear with it down and stalling repeatedly.

@ducke295 8 лет назад

+George McHugh if I try to put my 650r in gear while the kick stand is down the bike kills itself right as I push the shifter down

@MJT-DA 7 лет назад

It's a safety feature made so morons like us new riders don't kill ourselves lol.

@tanmoy2424 7 лет назад

personally i think this is the most mature 300 cc bike till date

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

I Love it.

@pauld.b7129 5 лет назад

Versys 300>the rest

@michor10 7 лет назад

I love how passionate you are about your bike. That's the great thing about bikes. You love them and they love you back :D Enjoy the ride and keep the rubber side down, buddy!

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+MickHornbak Thanks man.

@samdequina3386 7 лет назад

Love your content. Ive been following for a day now and I literally watched probably half of all your videos lol. I hate those negative people. Enjoy what you love.

@rexd1976 7 лет назад

Thanks for doing this video. None of your "complaints" made me feel insecure or indecisive about the 300 being 1 of the 2 bikes (other being the CBR300R) I am trying to decide between purchasing. I appreciate your insight and presentation of it.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+Rex Decker Cool dude. Glad I could help. I have found that the Ninja 300 has about 20% more power then the CBR300. Unless you never plan to hit the freeway, I would suggest the Ninja 300.

@rexd1976 7 лет назад

I ended up getting a Vulcan S.

@vuealay18 7 лет назад

No lies, I have that same exact bike. 2014 Kawasaki Ninja 300 SE. Mine still has all the decals. Awesome bike! You are very right about a 300 being able to do everything you need it to do.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+Alay Vue Nice!

@IdoIndeedFlip 8 лет назад

I love the change in tone at 7:15. Laughin' about no rides cause your tank bag then you get super serious, "but seriously get a tank bag".

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

Hahaha, thanks man.

@daveweller3427 5 лет назад

Whew that was a close one. I just bought this bike and was scared what you were going to say. I am dissapointed about the waterproofing tho. I was pleasantly amused when you started lovin on your bike in a dislike video lol 👍

@alexandrlux6977 2 года назад

5 years and I’m watching all your videos getting one in couple of weeks

@chloecampbell9312 3 года назад

Im saving for this bike for my first bike this really gives me and insight to the flaws o n the bike thank you man

@adamcunningham8248 7 лет назад

I was hesitant to watch this video because I thought you'd point things out about MY brand new ninja 300 that would bum me out, but you're a man after my own heart. This bike is divine.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+Adam Cunningham Haha, yeah. It is hard to find things to hate about this bike.

@Alexis-gm1tg 7 лет назад

I love your videos and I just had to sub. I'm looking to get the 2016 Ninja 300 ABS tomorrow and I'm far more excited/confident about the purchase than I was before I watched any of your videos.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Awesome. It is a great bike. Let us know how it goes and Welcome to the family.

@Alexis-gm1tg 7 лет назад

Thanks man! I did end up getting it. I'm super stoked about my purchase but, as I'm still learning, I can't seem to get my shifting down. It's never smooth especially my downshifts.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Keep practicing. It will become second nature before you know it. Make some time to just go out and practice shifting and see what you can learn.

@Mr432scott 8 лет назад

New to your channel and love it, can't wait to see more from you in the furture

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

+VlogSmith Cool man. Welcome to the family.

@MadaRook 8 лет назад

I'm going to be buyying a 2015 white Ninja 300 next month, and i'm soo excited! it'll be my first bike, and I'm glad ya made this video, cuz I thought I'd love this bike, now I'm sure I will. R3 lost New to this channel, and subscribed :)

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

Cool man. Glad I could help you make your decision. Welcome to the family.

@romeog97 8 лет назад

Great video. I love your channel cause I myself have a 2014 ninja 300 abs se and I can relate to your videos.

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

+Romeo G Cool man. Thanks for being a part of the community.

@Carguylogan 7 лет назад

I'm enjoying mine. I've been test riding bikes at GoAz on Hayden and Frank Lloyd Wright like the Z800, Ninja 1000, Street Triple etc and the huge difference in power kinda gets me down sometimes, really only on the highway when I'm going 70-80 and roll into the throttle and it doesnt really do much. But it is very comfortable and easy to ride, and the clutch is leaps ahead of all other clutches. Im at 6000 miles now and just ordered a set of Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2s. 150/60/17 in the rear and stock up front to take advantage of the handling of the bike since that's where it shines. I've been working 60s lately but still hoping to get a ride in with you

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+gtdrummerdude Nice man.

@liljoe645 8 лет назад

Great video bro. Can you do a video on gear you recommend? I'm buying a ninja 300 within a year

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

+Joey Marchese Nice dude. I have been thinking about gear a lot lately. That's a good idea.

@jeremar Год назад

Just picked up my very first bike last month. It's 2013 ninja 300. Iove it I actually bought a bigger windshield like yours.

@stephens7210 8 лет назад

Have to agree about the turn signals. Considered getting a tinted windscreen so they might be more visible when they are on. Brakes too. Really wish it had much better brakes, not sure if the ABS would help being able to pull on the brakes hard and it stopping with out the back tire screaming back at me as its on the edge of locking up but making some noise. I don't know if I missed it, BUT I would have added Gear Indicator to the list. I get into 6th gear and once I get to 55-60 mph I'm pulling up for another gear. People wanting to race. I'm like, "UM, its only a 300". Otherwise, its my commuter bike, I get 70+ mpg, save a ton on gas and like that it looks more badass than the engine size is.

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

Yeah, this is an awesome bike.

@GabrielGarcia-de6wl 7 лет назад

#11 thing i hate about your bike is the extended windshield, looks so bad the stock is lot nicer. the exhaust should sound nice i bet.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+Gabriel Garcia Three reason I got the bigger windshield. First, I ride year round so winters can get pretty chilly. Keeps the wind off the chest and me a little warmer. Second, I ride in the rain. The stock windshield has some funny dynamics then send the rain straight to my crotch. Not good if I have somewhere to be. This bigger windshield stops that from happening. Third, I spend a lot of time on the freeway every day and do some long trips from time to time. The bigger windshield removes a lot of buffeting and reduces fatigue. It certainly doesn't look the best, but it might be the best mod I've made to this bike yet. The exhaust does sound awesome. Thanks man.

@gsabella4 6 лет назад

ThisLifeRiding Hows the bike on the longer trips? Picking mine up on saturday, cannot wait to get my first longer trip in with it.

@RandalLovelace 6 лет назад

So I subscribed, because this is sort of the motorcycle I want... 2014 Ninja 300 SE (yes the one with ABS). Honestly, it's been hard to find 'bad reviews' on the 300 because it is such a good motorcycle.

@fpv_airborne1953 6 лет назад

I am about to get my first motorbike, whats better, nunja 300 or nunja 400 2018?

@Shimmoda 8 лет назад

Totally agree with #4 it was a great bike but the only thing lacking was the brakes even with ABS

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

Yeah, no joke. I have considered upgrading the brakes, but I have no interest in getting stickier tires (my commuter tires last forever and are way less expensive). I'm not quite sure if it is worth upgrading one without upgrading the other though.

@Shimmoda 8 лет назад

ThisLifeRiding Yeah true. What nice about the 300 is that you can slap on some sticky tires and they will still last a long time were as you put them on an s1000rr and the are done in 1k miles haha

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

Haha, #bikeproblems

@stevenwright5462 8 лет назад

I put wider tires on back and front it helped so much

@Heartlanddualsport 8 лет назад

Hehhee. I have watched a lot of theses videos. Hard to make up ten things on a bike you love. Heheh. Great job buddy. Have a blessed week my friend.

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

So true. Thanks man.

@coyote102076 7 лет назад

I just paid the piper and bought a brand new leftover 2016 300 ABS. Dealers are selling them of for nearly $1000 OFF of MSRP right now. Watching your reviews and rides over this last year, including everyone else's reviews, and I feel confident it will make a good commuter bike. I am 40, have nooooooooo desire to go much beyond the posted speed limit, I am NOT into the "get a knee down!" riding. Just putting around and going to work. I also ordered the (stupid expensive!) Gel seat for mine. LOL The factory seat is not much padding.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Nice dude. Can't wait to hear your review. Congrats on the new bike!

@kmpham1 7 лет назад

COYOTE ADVENTURES would you be willing to share your "out the door" price?

@coyote102076 7 лет назад

$4992.62 if a KY resident.

@kolrodrick 4 года назад

You really love your bike mate. Hats off. No. 9 is NOT a hate at all!

@RaoufHasan 6 лет назад

You're laugh is so geeky but contagious lol, it's a good thing

@NickMcC 8 лет назад

Good response to Ad Mortem's prompt! Leg cramping happens to me right around the same amount of time on the R3. 1-1.5 hours. Opposite problem on the dash lights; I can see them very well in day light, but find them to be BLINDING at night. Particularly the high-beam indicator.

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

Hmm, I wonder if that is why they decided to black them out on the Ninja. I guess it is like any trade off, blinding at night or invisible during the day. Thanks for the insight.

@NickMcC 8 лет назад

+ThisLifeRiding I'd much rather the lights blind me a little at night than not being able to see them. Though I might take a dry erase marker to them...

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

Not a bad idea. just give them a light smoke ro something.

@Sasquatch010 5 лет назад

I don't know if you have answered this question in another post, but what tail bag is that?

@andrew61024 7 лет назад

Can you make a video about what gear to buy and a pricing under $1000

@boiripstah808 2 года назад

Hey bro I have the same bike...where did u get your frame sliders from?

@NotAMotoVlog 7 лет назад

People like to think that their perfect bike should be everyone else's, when it varies so much based on need person to person. Glad you've found peace with your 300 👍

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Thanks man.

@sterlingm.6936 7 лет назад

can you do a gear review? of the gear you wear and review them, such as gloves, jacket, and helmet?

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

You are in luck. I already have a video for that. goo.gl/cqlFDu

@muchcat1113 7 лет назад

I'm in the same boat, had my ninja 300 since '14 and I honestly don't want to get rid of it. Love this bike. Do I want a bigger bike? Yes, but I'm keeping my 300 no matter what, lol

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Agreed.

@zooomer-3102 3 месяца назад

I love mine too!!, light and fast is the way to go, hands down.., I did a few required mods, 100w LED headlights, a 10" Amber fog light bar ( EBAY, of course) I highly recommend this one, It WILL save your life!!, It's a triple row LED and extremely bright, also changed all the bulbs to ultra bright LED's, a brake light strobe/flasher, 2 RGB eyebrow bulbs just for fun, Engine cover slide protectors (Rockmute Strada's), Blue Pipe Mid Link Exhaust Muffler replacement (much lighter & louder than stock) with the "hot blue" look, and a db killer insert (didn't do much db killing though), a ZX6 rear shock - adjustable gas dampening and preload spring, (this is a great mod, also did this to my other two EX250's.. sold them for the 300). looks like sprockets next for a little more top end. and tires too, probably Mich. Road. 5's. BTW, Love ur "Hate" Vid... LoL🤣

The best fix is Blinker fluid to get rid of 1. Blinker problem 2. Being gay 3. The amount of "I" in your conversation.

Bro, your laugh makes me want to laugh. Its contagious. No homo!

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

Haha, good. I'm glad I can inspire a little joy in the world.

@dogsnmotorcycles 8 лет назад

There's a guy around my neighborhood that rides a 300, never talked with him, just biker waves. It's pretty hard to find 10 things to complain about any Ninja related bike. No way I could come up with 10 complaints about my Versys. The 110+ degree temps are rough, I'll be glad when it gets cooler.

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

I don't mind the temps at all but the humidity be have been having lately is killer.

@MrEvanvance 7 лет назад

It sounds like you would like the new Versys 300x I've been looking at that for my first bike and with the same engine it is probably similar except you could take it off road a little like you want.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+Evan Vance I've sat on it but never ridden it.

@OlegPeleshok 7 лет назад

I just got one myself and i love it!! do you know the purpose of the pass bottom on the right handlebar?

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Do you mean the trigger on the front of the left control cluster? That is called the flash to pass. I use it mainly to alert drivers when I am going through an intersection and what not. It flashes your brights.

@kale6772 8 лет назад

I just got my 2014 Ninja 300 SE and I love it! pretty much same as your bike white/red.

@kale6772 8 лет назад

Cool man. Congratulations. Gotta love the Ninja 300.

@zachbibby3509 7 лет назад

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

That's right. Taking over the world, one misspelled word at a time.

@lostfound8112 7 лет назад

lol

@anthonywilson8366 5 лет назад

This really helped, thanks

@TheVigilantStewards 7 лет назад

I've been looking at bikes at came to the conclusion that I would love to get one that I can just keep and enjoy over years. Something that is engineered to be fun but still enjoyable daily. I know I'd want to do all kinds of mods and probably keep Givi on it. I was kind of looking at this and the 650 not knowing exactly how to pick ... other than test ride. It probably wouldn't matter which one, whichever felt better, but that gas mileage on the 300 would be nice especially if you get a different sprocket for highway.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Sure.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Mi speel reul guad.

@bobbaxtter332 7 лет назад

you didn't mention tune up? How often are they needed? the 250's needed them every few thousand miles. Did they fix this on the 300's?

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Regular maintenance is ever 3750 miles.

@brad_Ca 8 лет назад

I thought for sure that you were going to start off by saying there was nothing you hated about it. 😯

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

Unfortunately no bike is perfect... But some come very close.

@1djtraxx 7 лет назад

The video was a great idea and very well done also.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Hey, thanks man.

@richie6366 8 лет назад

You love your ninja 300? AWESOME AWESOME. i started with the ninja 500r, loved it but after having it for 2 years i was thinking I GOT TO HAVE THE 6OO. about ten year later i sold the 500r i got really depressed, 2 years later i finally got my dream bike and the bonus is it's a 2015 636 30th anniversary edition, AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

Dude, thats awesome. Always reach fro the dream bike. Best thing about motorcycles, there is a dream bike for everyone.

@bensmith5543 8 лет назад

Love my 13 ninja 300 but I'm almost 6 foot tall and 200lbs and I definitely wish it had more passing power. It's not AS confident on the highway. So I'll get a different bike (ft-07 perhaps) and my wife takes the ninja. I do agree though, it's a great bike.

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

Nice dude. Sounds like a plan. Thanks.

@allen4779 6 лет назад

ok i can help you out up grade your break lines a lot of the time it can help with the weak break feel good luck

@kargs5krun Год назад

Wonder if Kawasaki has improved upon some of his objections, these past 6 yrs; am guessing "yes"........ Also wondering if one is able to "quiet" the bike some with another muffler (twins)?

@tredaviouswhite8201 6 лет назад

Of course you can do wheelie on this, my dad said he used to do wheelies with MZ 150. Lol

@roywilkie9577 5 лет назад

I've never had any water inside my cluster before, and I ride in the rain all the time.

@ElProfeMoto 7 лет назад

What year is your 300? Did u ever solve the waterproof thing??

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

It is a 2014 thing and no. Every time I have had a problem, I just have them switch out the seals. Its worked on every one except the dash.

@allialexander4134 7 лет назад

Yeah I'm getting a ninja 300 in like December man cant wait viva la ninja 300 lol

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Nice man. I bought my Ninja 300 two years ago on December 6th. Anniversary is coming up quick.

@6ghastlyghoul9 7 лет назад

You don't need a bigger bike unless you go to the track. End of story. Sure, speeding is fun until you get hurt or injure someone else. You have to be responsible.

@Al.j.Vasquez 7 лет назад

yeah because riding in 2nd gear all day long is fun!....

@SuzukiC41 7 лет назад

Why would he be bored with it?

@blazzing4321 8 лет назад

Can you swap out the windshield? I hate how tall the stock one is

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

The windshield in this video is actually the touring windshield. It is the tallest one they make for the bike. There are plenty of aftermarket windshields that are very easy to install and come smaller and lager then stock.

@blazzing4321 8 лет назад

ThisLifeRiding oh yeah, I just watched your windshield install video

@rushfanjames2112 7 лет назад

When i had mine last year, i bolted a small crate on the back. Meaning... no rides! lol

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Nice man.

@chrismoonhomes5863 5 лет назад

The first bike I learned on was a Yamaha R1 bought a Ninja Kawasaki 300 and within a couple days I was already going for trips with friends and also having people on the back not the best for having a passenger on the back for a long trip prefer to take over Yamaha R1 but from where I said he drives I prefer the Ninja 300 and also highways because with the Yamaha R1 I tend to fully open the throttle Wherever I Go

@TheEVGAftw 8 лет назад

Here's something i love about the ninja 300, if you get a small or medium drink from any fast food restaurant, you can put the drink directly left to the key, against the steering stem thingy, it stays there the whole ride. I don't know how else to show you other than email lol. maybe ill show you

@TheEVGAftw 8 лет назад

channel email, sorry it wasn't a better picture! lol. but it does still stay there.

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

+TheEVGAftw Hey, I never tried that. Cool idea. Thanks man.

@CleanTowel Год назад

i want those frame sliders

@540derick 6 лет назад

Its not that hard to ride 2 up, given a few people a ride after 6 months of experience and only thing is they tend to like to push unevenly on the foot pegs so the bike feels wobbly at low speeds and cornering but otherwise treat it more like a car with your maneuverability and youll be fine

@joshp4113 6 лет назад

My friend has a 300 ninja and I have a z650 and I’ll have to say the 650 is a lot more enjoyable to ride its similarly priced has more useable power and is just as forgiving. I would recommend starting on something bigger than 300 because you won’t grow out of it too fast and it feels more capable, but whatever works for you is good

@yoyo940184 7 лет назад

lol if it has a gear indicator then it would be a wonderful bike for me lol(another new subscriber from AZ)

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Cool man. Welcome to the family. I wouldn't be surprised if there is an aftermarket gear indicator out there somewhere.

@SuperRealityChek 8 лет назад

number 9. how is that bad??? u hate that??? lol

So, when are you gonna get a bigger bike ?

@RahzAlGhul 3 года назад

I have it I own it just for a week and I want to sell it already it’s great but man my wrist are hurting.. riding Cruisers as my first bikes make this feel uncomfortable. It’s fun but not relaxed. I need to get something else like a Yamaha Bolt

@excalibur5284 5 лет назад

How tall are you tho

@choppergirl 2 месяца назад

Zero cargo carrying capacity. 90% of my rides bring groceries home from the grocery store. Every trip I make, groceries are getting picked up and brought on the ride back. It's got to be a pack mule, otherwise, it becomes a barn queen collecting dust. Good for joy rides and nothing more. How could you miss that one.

@nicksoehren4812 6 лет назад

I’m planing to get a 300 as my first bike

@HawkGirlMistyV 8 лет назад

OMG, if I had a dollar for every time some chic asked me to go for a ride!!! Lol! Great video! The CB 500x is the other bike I could see you on or a straight up dual sport! Great video!

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

...I can't tell if you are joking about the girls asking to ride thing. Do girls... ask other girls for rides?.... Is that a thing? hahahahahaha. I have test ridden the CB500X before and I loved it. I'm not sure I would want something quite that heavy as my first off road bike but none the less, I loved that bike. It felt just like the ninja but with a greater top end range. My next bike will probably be a DR-Z400. Thanks for the comment. You had me rolling.

@HawkGirlMistyV 8 лет назад

+ThisLifeRiding Lol, just kidding, I have never had a girl as me for a ride before and if they did I'd probably be dumb founded! Can't go wrong with a DRZ! ;)

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

Haha, you had me rolling there for a second. I was wondering what kind of girls you're hanging out with. Yeah, it is probably a couple years out but yeah, DR-Z for sure.

@Bo-bl5if 7 лет назад

the #1 thing i hate about the ninja 300 is that 2nd gear will slip into neutral sometimes. It dosnt seem to happen when the bike is warmed up tho.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+Bo That is a problem I have experienced as well.

@vladimirtanev5318 7 лет назад

I have the same and i love it! The only thing that i hate its the foot pads cuz i am 6'2 and I really need more space. But i love it :)

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+vladimir tanev Have you considered some adjustable rear sets?

@vladimirtanev5318 7 лет назад

Yeah but i am not gonna be able to tilt the bike in turns that much so i decided to get e higher seat. Something custom made thats gonna give the bike a little unique look :)

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

ABS is not a standard feature on the Ninja 300. While this particular bike is the 2014 SE model, it does not come with ABS.

would this be an ok starter bike for a 5'6 female?

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+Lisa Adler Sure, you are only one and a half inch shorter then me. That means you probably wouldn't quite flat foot it but that's not a problem. I always suggest people head to their local dealer, sit on one, and find out for themselves though.

@weekendwarriorT7 7 лет назад

So.... when are you getting a bigger bike ?😇. but seriously, the ninja is one of my all time favorite. really cool stuff.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Yep, love this bike.

@yondime99 7 лет назад

Love your reviews but you forgot to mention that the ninja 300 does n't have gear indicator

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+The Dust I haven't had a bike with a gear indicator before so it doesn't bother me that the Ninja doesn't have one.

have you ever tried a fz07

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

No, I haven't had the opportunity to ride that one yet. The reviews on it look awesome though.

@ncheetos 7 лет назад

ThisLifeRiding I rode a 16 Ninja 300 before I bought my FZ07 and between the two the Ninja felt harder to maneuver, to say nothing of the Ninja 650 I tried.

Hey man, did you seriously listed the Honda Grom in that list of big bikes!!? "Ducati Diavel, Multi something, Honda Groms...." Do you really think that the Ninja 300 would be a good bike to start riding? I'm 16 and you have no idea how much happier I'd be if I had a motorbike. Greetings from Vancouver

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

I listed the Honda Grom to show a wide range of bikes that I have ridden. I think the Ninja 300 is a great starter bike. I personally believe that happiness comes from fulfilling relationships more then objects but hey. I love the Ninja 300.The throttle is very forgiving, it is light and flickable. As long as you take the MSF course, you should be fine.

@lukasgarciaa7336 8 лет назад

+ThisLifeRiding I know man, I just thought I sounded a bit funny, and yeah you're right on that other thing

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

Haha, thanks man.

@Tyler3209 7 лет назад

I like the ninja 300 but I'm thinking about getting the Yamaha r3 instead because of the more consistent power across the rpm range. I just like stock bikes and city commuting.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Cool man. Good for you.

3.7 gallon tank is fail.

@sebastiancrabill444 8 лет назад

agree, I used to own a Kawasaki ninja 650 and it really wasn't for me, so I bought a 320 r3 and I enjoy riding it more cause it suits my needs... there so easy to maintain, control n cheap to upgrade, ive been told the same same thing(youll outgrow that bike, u need to buy a bigger one)no thanks im happy with what I have...

@ThisLifeRiding 8 лет назад

+Sebastian Crabill I hear you there. It doesn't matter if your engine gets bigger or smaller, only that the bike fits you.

@TD402dd 7 лет назад

Think of it this way, you can ride the Ninja 300 any place you can ride the 1000cc bikes. Maybe not as fast, but you shan't be worn out when you get there (although any long distance bike needs a proper seat).

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

+D. Paul Riderman True true. I have done a few long trips, 9 hours one day and another three day trip, and I haven't had any problems but I better seat certainly wouldn't hurt.

@TD402dd 7 лет назад

Saddlemen makes seats for most sport bikes, and it has gel packs next to the medal form. Although the seat isn't especially comfortable when you begin to ride (multi-layered dense foam above the gel packs), it does keep your bum from losing it's feeling. It also eliminates the jars common to riding on back roads.

@ThisLifeRiding 7 лет назад

Cool man. Thanks for the info.

I had water get into my tachometer, left it in the sun and it cracked. Making it's even worst. Ended up getting way too much water into it, making it short out. If there is water in it, no matter what, put a rag or something over it so the sun doesn't crack it. And if it cracks, you can replace the face rather than entire motherboard.
