No bother at all my friend. This helmet has excellent peripheral visibility with a 215 degree field of view. I have yet to have a scenario where I felt the sides of the helmet impeded my vision whatsoever. 😎

Experienced rider? This. Less experienced rider? 500. Unexperienced rider? Take the MSF course.

@@Omni_Moto Can't be much difference in performance from the 400 to the 500. Many are saying the upgrade isn't worth it if you already own a 400.

I can be your Santa this Christmas if the store is within a reasonable distance for you! Unlike normal Santa I have to be paid for the gift though. 😂Email is in the description. Thanks for watching! Ride safe.

Same bike. Thanks for watching. Ride safe! 😎

Hi. At 20K subs I will be taking the helmet off. Until then, the helmet stays on. Plus, every comment helps the algorithm push my videos - perhaps you would not have left a comment at all if I wasn't wearing one. 😉 Thanks for watching! Ride safe.

That's where I keep my bread.

That's a good question that I have somewhat of an answer for. If you use Indian Motorcycle's online configurator for the Scout and you switch out the risers for the 10" the website doesn't prompt you with any need to upgrade the cables. That said, there are extended cables available on the configurator underneath the 10" handlebar riser selection, and I would be surprised if when you talk to an Indian Motorcycle parts specialist they wouldn't recommend those extended cables. In short, I can't answer you with 100% confidence. I would put a call into your local Indian Motorcycle dealership to see if they can provide a more concrete answer. Thanks for watching. Ride safe. 😎

The machines themselves are very different from chassis, seating position, tech, and power. The Rebel 1100 has been on my list of motorcycles to review though, so I will eventually get one out on it. If you haven't already, be sure to subscribe so you don't miss when it hits the channel. If you're already subscribed, then thank you so much, and stay tuned. 😉 Ride safe.

It is pretty much the cheat code for being able to ride a motorcycle confidently at slow speed, which is ironically where a lot of people struggle. Trying to explain how it affects the suspension and handling of the bike to a new rider is nearly impossible to verbalize though. It's a great feeling seeing someone finally get it and have it click in there head for the first time. Thanks for watching! Ride safe. 😎

Hahaha, 10,000 IQ plays only with the wisdom flowing out of this melon 🧠 The Shadow has plenty to offer for an enjoyable experience. If you want to ride an Indian, you should find an Indian dealership near you and ask them to notify you when the next demo-days are so you can try one out for free. It might be a bit of a mental tease after you ride it, but you can at least cross it off your list and solidify in your mind that it's in your future. Until then, a used Shadow will be very cost-effective and you'll enjoy it for what it is. Don't forget to check the review on my channel with that machine! 😄 Thank you for watching and ride safe!

Ruroc. Thanks for watching!

@@Omni_Moto super sweet.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your first time visiting the channel! I have a review of the Ninja 400 in my Kawasaki motorcycle reviews playlist if you'd like to explore that further and how it compares to its successor. If you can find a used Ninja 400 in good condition for under $5K I'd say it would be worth the price. If you can find a dealership who will you sell you a base Ninja 500 for under $6K (before taxes) though, the 1-year factory warranty, updated styling, and more powerful engine make it worth it as well. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching and ride safe! 😎

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your experience. The R3 is a super rewarding motorcycle if you plan to use it as a tool for becoming a better rider. It has a lot to offer even if it may not be the most powerful. The lightweight and maneuverable nature make it very confidence inspiring with a price tag that is affordable for many common folk. Very easy to find them under $5K in the used market as well. Thank you for watching and ride safe. 😎

Thank you for watching! Pursue the dream! Ride safe. 😎

The best answer is "it depends". Are you coming off of another bike while having a lot of time in the saddle? Do you understand low-speed maneuvers and clutch control? Do you have throttle discipline? Is the extra power and capability worth spending more $$$ in the area you ride most often? There are a lot of questions you should ask yourself prior to making the decision. My personal opinion is the Ninja 500 is the better bang for the buck, BUT the Ninja 650 does provide decent incentive with 25% more HP and ~35% more torque. I'm not sure if this helped or made the decision tougher for you. 😅 Thanks for watching and ride safe.

A Honda Grom is one of my personal bikes. No bike is too small for me! 😂 Thank you for watching and ride safe.

Waaazzzaaaaaappp Steve. 😎 USA does get the ZX-4R with the I-4 engine. Unfortunately for emissions regulations Kawasaki sends a choked-up version to us that caps at around 50HP around 11,000RPM and then flatlines whilst screaming up to 16,000RPM 😂 An ECU flash grants a 25HP increase at 16,000RPM though, so we can remedy it and get all of the bike we pay for. I have a review planned for my MT-10 before the end of riding season here in the states. Prior to that, I've got one in the editing studio now of my first track day with the big-pig MT-10 that I'll be trying to finish and post before the end of this week. Just some commentary and story telling to get in before it's ready to post. Thanks for watching as always Steve. See you in the next ones. 😎

It's hard to say this motorcycle isn't enough. If anything it is more than enough, but as you stated there is always a desire for more. It's not for any particular reason aside from "Why not?" This is one of the more unique motorcycles in the marketplace being a commuter inline-4 cylinder. Though this video is old, I still remember this machine fondly as being one of the more exciting bikes to ride even though it's purpose isn't to be the apex of performance. It's more fun to ride than it is adrenaline-pumping to ride but it can still deliver fun with the right type of rider (and mods 😉) Thanks for watching. Ride safe. 😎

I can ride my bike with no handlebars 🎶

Thank you for your passion to keep my identity hidden. I want to eventually pull the helmet off for my own sake as well though. I will continue to wear the helmet in some videos where I am riding bikes but I think it is better in the long-term for the growth of my channel, and building a relationship with my viewers as things progress. The helmet provides a personality for Omni, but at the end of the day I'm not just Omni. I've already committed to a face reveal at 20K subscribers and I don't think it would be fair to people who have subscribed already if I went back on those words. Thank you for watching! Ride safe.

@@Omni_Moto a promise is a promise. subbed

The motor does not have a ton of vibration, but it is present. I actually touched on the subject in the Ninja 500 review I just posted if you want to hear my take on it. The only reason I mentioned it at all was because someone had asked a similar question in another video so I wanted to address it - looks like I had good reason to mention since you're asking as well 😉. ruclips.net/video/uUlcCrDvXSk/видео.htmlsi=SZXqp-sqKb-_7bJk Thanks for watching and ride safe. 😎

I have a lot of other reviews you can check out to give you some inspiration for what your first motorcycle could be. 😁Thank you for watching and ride safe (when you get a motorcycle). 😎

The old generation Ninja 500 holds up well, but the new Ninja 500 has a 60 pound weight advantage with the same HP output. I'm sure the new Ninja 500 could obtain similar top speed with the right gearing and would achieve it faster being more lightweight. They both do the 2-wheel thing and are fun to ride which is all that truly matters at the end of the day. Thanks for sharing! Ride safe.

Thank you for providing legitimate feedback and constructive criticism. I appreciate the pointers and tips. I'll keep that in mind going forward. Ride safe and thank you for watching. 😎

That's what matters! If you find enjoyment out of it then it's the right bike for _you_ and many others alike. Thanks for watching and ride safe. 😎

@@Omni_Moto u as well my friend. That doesn’t go without saying next season I will be on my own zx6r! Can’t wait but this bike really is plenty at least for me I live in a small town so most of my riding is in town so I’ve always got that low end power and not always riding on the highway where it doesn’t have any get up.

I know this new Ninja 500 could do it too, I just didn’t want to push it with a bike that isn’t mine haha. I’m sure if the clutch plates also had more time to have their surfaces mated for better grab I could have secured a better result. Thanks for watching! Ride safe. 😎

Even my Ninja 400 will do it, after 2000 km on the odometer

Long Answer: If was starting out as a new rider and my choices were the Ninja 500 SE or the CFMOTO 450SS I would take the 450SS. 2-year warranty, higher spec brakes, inverted suspension for a sportier look, and much of the same standard equipment. I'd even spend the extra $400 and go for the 450SS over the base Ninja 500. Short Answer: 450SS > Ninja 500 (personal opinion) Thanks for watching and ride safe. 😎

Manufacturers typically plan motorcycles about 5-years out. So the bikes we are seeing unveiled this year (if they are new) were likely brought to the board back in 2019 for approvals. There is likely some variability in that 5-year window though, so this bike very well could be a band-aid like you say. I wouldn't say Kawasaki thinks their customers are stupid, but they are banking on them seeing the "500" tag and associating that with a better performing engine - but we can't give them to much flack because it is a _very_ common practice by OEMs. It's just some marketing magic. It can go the other way too where new riders see "500" and determine that's too much and will go with a "450" because it sounds smaller and more friendly. CFMOTO is shaking up the industry in a completely new way that has never been done before. I have been an advocate for them since day one of getting hands on their products. They don't always hit a homerun, but these last few machines they have launched did incredibly well with US buyers and I can only foresee them having continued success. I had a chance to speak with a Kawasaki representative a little bit about the Ninja 650 as well. All I got was "Don't expect anything anytime soon" in regard to that bike. I'd like to see it succeed and do better, but it hasn't seen a large enough decline in market share to warrant upgrades - and Japanese OEMs don't want everything to be too similar in terms of displacement and engine configs, so Kawasaki will probably keep it the same until R7, GSX-8R, and 675SS start taking enough sales away to trigger a reaction from Kawasaki. Great talking points though. Thanks for watching! Ride safe. 😎

@@Omni_Moto Band-aids can be rushed out. Which is what happened. They couldn't wait another 5 years.

While you might be right. It’s a killer bike

​@@MasonWood-s5c You think Chinese motorcycle can beat the big 4 from japan 😂

@@lelouchabrilvelda1794 You do realize that CFMOTO owned Yamaha now, right? Maybe you should learn more before you make a dumb comment.

Thank you for pointing that out. Fixed.

@@Omni_Moto Great video! Glad I found the channel.

None of my short friends have the passion for motorcycle content like I do, so unfortunately I can't provide you with how a short person fits. 😔 Anyone above 5'7 should fit alright. If you are below that height, your best bet is to get into a showroom to sit on one and make sure it's something you can handle and live with. Thank you for watching and ride safe. 😎

@@Omni_Moto I bought the ZX4RR and put a 1" lowering link on it. I'm 5'6"

​@Omni_Moto "anyone above 5'7" should fit" bro if they can't fit who the hell the can?! LMAO, if a BEGINNER bike can only fit people who are tall, then just say people under 6' can't ride.

@@walt4400 5'7" isn't very tall 🤨 I just answered a question. Height isn't even the most important variable - it's the inseam. If you are expecting a low seat height, you are looking at the wrong bike. Someone's ability to ride a motorcycle shouldn't be based on someone's opinion either - It should be based on their willingness and desire to ride the bike of their choice.
