This is a small recording of me riding home my brand new Ninja 650 from the dealership. This is my very first motorcycle and I am a new rider. Took the MSF course in 2006 but never purchased or rode since. Took it again recently. Any tips or critiques is appreciated.

Well done. Beats my ride home from the dealership several days ago. Upgraded from a 250cc to a 700cc, bunny hopped first time twisted throttle🤣. Realised how fast the bike actually was and wuthin 30sec thinking I made a terrible mistake. 200m from the dealership, stalled at an intersection, put my foot out, slipped, dropped bike. Swore many times while struggling to pick 180kg bike up. Did the ride of shame past the HD dealership around the corner that had the salesmen outside wondering why the swearing. Part of my peg broke in the fall. Luckily have sliders so no other damage. Mirrors dislodged and needed tightening with tools, which couldn't do until got home so road without mirrors in the city. Got lost several times, as just moved to new city. It was raining whole time and no rain gear. Rest of ride was ok. Day 2: Got drunk. Day 3: Practiced feel of clutch play and throttle with success and feel happy to ride now🫠. So yeah, you did well🤣🤣

That just sucks man:( I’m so sorry. One thing I did when i did the jump from a freakin Suzuki 250tux to a ninja 650 was take a track class. It was the best thing I’ve ever done in terms of getting to know the limits of skills and how the bike reacts on the road and in turns.. plus it was really fun.. I didn’t go out there with full leathers or anything.. those are way expensive.. you just need a pair of real riding pants and a quality jacket and helmet.

It happens.. I remember stalling out and falling trying to make a U turn on a 805 Suzuki boulevard right after leaving a job interview.. so embarrassed and I didn't know the technique for picking up a heavy cruiser... terrible day. I had been riding maybe a month. Those experiences stick with you and you learn a lot from them.

Nice! i didn't know that it had a shift-up indicator, which is very cool. Enjoy!

@RyGuyTheAVGuy 6 месяцев назад

CONGRATS DUDE!!!! I really want to move up to one of these, on a TUX 250 now.

@MotorcycleMayhem595 7 месяцев назад

Good job you got it home without any incidents. Most incidents happen in the first two weeks of ownership statistically. Have fun is the most important thing and remember it's always gonna be your fault if something happens good or bad.

Very nice bike. I've had a lot of motorcycles.. all different kinds of power levels.. something about these mid range engine/power that just makes riding a blast. Congrats bro

Rode one of these a few weeks back with the thought of buying one to replace my ER5. Couldn’t get over how much vibrations it put through the seat and tank at 70-75mph. Lovely looking bike but no way should it vibrate more than a 20 year old ER5!

@ItsKroov 7 месяцев назад

i was wondering if its just the way the camera is set up but the whole time i could feel the vibrations through the screen lmao.

@rich075 6 месяцев назад

It's actually the camera that was moving about. The vibration, at least to me, is very minimal and until I read your comment, I had not noticed nor thought about it. I've ridden the Kawasaki KLX 230 and that vibration is horrible on that.

@jg7173 6 месяцев назад

During break-in it vibrates a bit more... i believe it becomes less afterwards, so ive heard...

@dehweh2297 7 месяцев назад

Nicely done. Near perfect 1st bike. Good next step would be to get 1. safety training 2. lean angle training on a bike with wheeled outriggers. Fast route to proficiency.

@patrickmba7638 7 месяцев назад

Wheeled outriggers? What be those?

@DropoutJerome 7 месяцев назад

3. Wheelie practice

@rich075 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the advice.

How’s the clutch lever on this? I rode a ninja 250 and it was like the most unresponsive thing in the world. The friction zone was almost letting go of the clutch

@pondoitsame927 3 месяца назад

do you think it's a good idea to move up to 650cc bike from a 50cc

@rich075 3 месяца назад

I honestly cannot answer that question for you. You have to get the bike you're capable of handling and feel comfortable with. You can get injured on any bike, regardless of its CCs.

@mikealchin525 Месяц назад

They make red & black models.

@DropoutJerome 7 месяцев назад

Ninjas are nice, but i feel like its kinda hard to find one without any of that really fkn ugly shade of green that they often have.

@rich075 7 месяцев назад

Yes, you're right. The dealership was trying hard to push the green one on me but I made it clear I was not interested. So they located the matte gray one for me.

@xclent1975 6 месяцев назад

They need to bring back the Red color from 2012

@vaishnav6323 6 месяцев назад

I can't imagine having a ninja in any colour other than green, like KTM in orange..

@DropoutJerome 6 месяцев назад

I feel like most bike manufacturers need to stop with the dumb color schemes and focus on curves. Bikes should only have black, grey, and white colors and then if you want to customize it go get decals or a wrap. I'm drawn away from so many bikes due to their color schemes. Like I don't even like KTM's orange.

@@xclent1975In Europe they have now Ninja 650 in that red color which was on GPZ-900 in 1984 for 40th anniversary.

can you tell how much it consumes fuel riding on highway around 120-140 kmh? and how much it comsumes in city?

@rich075 11 дней назад

I no longer have that motorcycle so I cannot answer your question.

Cool but it would have been nice if you took video of the bike first before riding it. We want to see the full glory of the bike.

@jayy24195 5 месяцев назад

Can i get this as my first bike? Some people say you can start on it but others say i should start on a 400. Also congrats on getting the bike

@rich075 5 месяцев назад

Look at my other videos. I had the bike for about 2 weeks before trading it in for a Z900. I realized that I had to get the bike that I liked, not what others thought would be bet for me. You have to have the maturity and self-control in place no matter what CC your bike is. You can get injured on a small bike just as you can on a big one.

@weaponson3-158 16 дней назад

At the MSF course, instructor said don’t go by ccs, just buy the one you want that’s in your budget, they all go as fast as you can turn your wrist.

@KatyaLishch Месяц назад

Why not Honda CBR650R? Just asking.

@rich075 Месяц назад

It just was not on my list of bikes that I was interested in.

@prawnstar9213 3 месяца назад

Congrats! But new motorcycles are overpriced.. the ninja was my last hope and for the first time the cost to get a new one out the door is over $10k. You will see less of these now:(

@rich075 3 месяца назад

The price of everything has increased. It's just the time we live in.
