      Not true. I learned recently, and I've found the speed can just get away from you on a quicker bike. I have a V Strom 1000 and it's at 80 before you know it. A 650 naked is ideal, but the issue is whether it'll kill you before you get bored of it....

    • @danakaboom1158
      @danakaboom1158 5 лет назад +47

      That's where being grounded and mature comes in. I started on my father's Harley-Davidson when I was 17. Not a rocket ship but it took a lot of concentration. tank shift, suicide clutch Etc. A reasonable compromise might be a 600 that doesn't deliver a lot of torque at low RPM. Just stay under 10,000 RPM and no surprises. But if you can't even do that, you shouldn't be on a motorcycle. Back in the day two strokes used to catch people because of the sudden power curve. But as long as you approached it gradually when learning, there normally would not be a problem.

      @ Dana Kaboom... For some like myself motorcycle's are meant for one thing only... SPEED. Going fast IS the only way to learn what you and the bike can do. And in this process you ARE going to lay it down, throw it down, wreck, get injured. If you want to cruise and be "safe" get a car, truck ..but NOT a Harley. You could not give me a Harley to me that is NOT really a motorcycle. It is a death machine that I cant ride, heavy, awkward.. slow as hell. Non turning, scariest thing I EVER threw a leg over, only once. And told my riding buddy that had traded his "rice burner" in for a HD sportster... after one trip around the block... "WHY"??? "This thing is gonna kill ya"... he replied.. "I just want to cruise, you know.. slow down some." Sadly 3 months later... slow and careful can kill you also, added to that ,once faced with a situation where you need skills learned from really riding... one will be lacking. Motorcycle's are dangerous... maybe you have the right mindset but remember 30 mph is more than enough speed to end ones day. Just a guess, but I would bet YOU can't NOT ride a motorcycle...,Mr Mature. Don't be sad you are in the majority. If that is true.. it WILL catch up to ya.. so take it to a track and LEARN...or not.

    Having bought a Ninja 650 after 7 years of cruisers, I can say this is a great first sport bike. It has way more acceleration than the cruiser due to power/weight ratio and gearing, and way more cornering capabilities due to weight and clearance. After 2 years on it, I'm still not pushing the bike to its limit. People think you will outgrow this bike in a year or two. Really? Unless you can beat the current world title holder on his 600, you're not maxing out the bike. You could put on better tires when they need replacing, and they will need it if you ride enough, and get a jump in grip (which is pretty darn good stock). Unless you are on long sweeping uphills and willing to risk your license and huge fines, you don't really need that liter bike--this bike will run out of road quickly and leave you smiling every time you get off it because it has a comfortable riding position to get to those mountains and back. I was on mine for over 9 hours one day last month, and felt better than 9 hours on the cruiser.

I do miss the small fairing on the Ninja because my commute has some highway miles. After 1600 miles in 4 months, I have a larger windscreen due on my porch any day. I still think the Ninja is an awesome bike and regret trading it, it would have good to have alongside the Z and Raider.

      I bought a 2013 650 as my first bike and was ready for the next step up after about a year though I did put on over 10k miles in that year. It's a blast, handles great and 0-60 is quick enough but much beyond that I wish it had more power. Not condoning speeding but nice to have extra passing power and also mess around from time to time. I could very well see this being a long term bike for many but personally I wish I had gone with a 600 to start

    I don’t know if it’s only Kawasaki and Honda but I love that the 600cc sport bikes put the exhaust under the bike instead of the side! For a cruiser, side mounted exhaust is just part of the character. For a sport bike you needs both sides clear so you can lean the bike.

    Bought a 650r in 2006 and it was my first bike ever. Popped 3 accidental wheelies on the very first ride trying to get the hang of the clutch because I had literally NEVER ridden ANY motorcycle before. This is a "beginner that has already taken a riding lesson or two" bike but NOT for someone without any clutch time whatsoever.
    Took me about a week to learn her little oddities but once I did I was good to go.
    I still have it 12 years later, still love to ride it, and am still not bored with it though (not a novice rider anymore by a long shot) I have 2 other bikes also now.
    Nimble and quick with plenty of bottom end torque if you know how to rev it and 40+mpg averages in town (I've had above 50mpg if I don't hammer the throttle at every traffic light like we all did when we were noobs) around town in the stop and go.
    I can quarter mile within a second (+ or -) of my buddy on his R6 so I'd say she can keep pace.
    I have over 8K miles just splitting lanes in standing traffic with it on Cali freeways (the real reason I bought her to begin with was to commute) and I have ridden her on 1,000+ mile trips loaded down like she was a Concours 1400 with panniers, bags and a top case while riding 2up with a passenger and she still handles the freeway like a dream doing 75mph (speed limit in interstates in Cali is 70) all day long and still getting 40mpg with the full load and double (ex wife was in the buck-twenty range and I was about 2 bills so not a light load for a 650cc). If it is just me running (just a tank bag and a backpack of clothes for a weekend at a buddies) I have gotten steady freeway mpg's of 55+ for 500 miles each way from San Francisco to San Diego and back again when laying down on the tank bag with my feet resting on the REAR seats pegs (hey, don't knock it till you try it...its actually surprisingly comfortable) and very aerodynamic so the engine struggles less to maintain the 75mph I'm rolling and the mileage is great.
    I've had her PAST the 140mph top end of her Speedo (once was enough, but who can have a bike and NOT peg it out?...ok...maybe it was more than just once...lol!) in 6th gear but was only at 8,600 RPM so she had 3,000 rpm more to give before even hitting the red line (and 2,000 past that before the ka-boom was immanent) so even if the speedo couldn't track it she probably has another 40 mph to give but I had nowhere to ever test that theory and no one that could keep up past 140mph when I was stupid enough to get her up that fast to clock me.
    She isn't a liter bike, and she won't match them in the midrange and top end for acceleration rates but she can still haul azz and scare the crap out of you if you get sloppy.
    Don't make light of that parallel twin because those 649cc's can really move if you can control it effectively. She lists at 71 horsepower but sure feels like more once you know how to handle her and at under 400lbs that 71 horses sure can run fast!

      "Popped three wheelies on my first ride ever" .....someone should have been looking out for you, your lucky you didn't die, seriously, very irresponsible, I sold my 650r to a complete noob (as was I when I bought it) and I made sure to reiterate the point to "take ALEAST 3 hours to play with the clutch" ...."take 3 hours to get to know the friction zone" ......"get familiar with her, she has alot of balls" ......whoever sold you that bike was very careless and they shouldn't be riding bikes, or cars for that matter. ...and it does help to have experience driving manual cars before riding a motorcycle on public roads in traffic. I'd say everyone should drive a manual car for a year before bothering with a bike, so many things to be in control of (especially in turns), and a bike will really fuck someone up.

      I've had my 07 650r for going on 11 yr's, was my first ever street bike and she's still in the garage. I have felt like there's just not enough power there when I was riding it every day tho. Moved on to bigger bikes and still found myself coming back to the little 650r when I wanted to hit the twisties, that ninja 650r made me a good rider. Nothing like nailing that corner knee down showing up the super sport guys who haven't even begun to master their bikes. The 650r's the only bike I can ever say I've gotten close to maxing out what it can do, but every time I think "ya there's nothing more this bike has to give me" i scare myself again. She's been a great companion, cross country road trips, bike rally's, daily driver until snow was on the ground (-28c riding sucks FYI) hell she's even hit a deer at 60mph and got me off with nothing but a scratch. Best bike I've ever owned in the 15 years I've been riding.

I sold it and was bored with it after 2 months.

      Enrico Maglio I agree 100%. It all comes down to the type of riding they will be doing and style. I think the Z650 has the best style hands down for naked bikes would be a great in city and on twisty roads. The ninja 650 will give you the sportbike looks that many younger people crave but usually are not ready for and be much better on freeways. Then for the long haulers there is the more comfy Versys 650 if the twisties aren't really your goal.

    yea, i recommend r3 or something like that for younger guys. When you're young, It's so hard to resist people trying to race you at a stop light. And if you're inexperience, you don't realize how hard it is to stop something going 100+ on the upcoming street block. The number 1 thing i'd tell new young riders is don't get tempted to race others, and being young, that's impossible so I'd recommend a smaller bike.

  • @gotmylk
    @gotmylk 3 года назад +6

    I've been riding since I was 5. People just starting out on two wheels should buy themselves a used something for the dirt first and learn to rip around, use the clutch and brakes, on terrain that is a lot more forgiving than tarmac and not littered with moving automobiles and clueless drivers.
    If one thing is for certain...new riders will drop their bikes. The odds of a new rider dropping a new bike are very high. So why drop one that cost thousands of dollars and is costly to repair. As well as taking the risk of learning on an active roadway?
    Get used to two wheels on the dirt first. Then buying a bike that suits you is much easier to address when converting to the street.
    Seems like a no brainer.

    I have been riding my dads cbr1000rr to and from work (small town) I want my license so I have to ride a 600cc for 2 years I think this is gonna be the one. The CBR600 is not legal for R-E so this is the perfect middle ground.

      Why do you have to ride a 600 for 2 years to get your license

    What kind of bar risers does it have again?? Looks awesome, thinking about this for my first bike...

    Left the dealership in love with the 2020 kawi ninja 650. Man o man. I went to look at the z125 since I ride a 150 as my first bike now. That 650 is my next bike for sure. I think it’ll be a great first big bike.

      I just picked up a 07 650 ninja, I've been riding older bikes all my life, most recently a 1980 is 750.. man, I couldn't believe the difference !! The thing is effortless ! Fast from 0-60, corners like my Enduro, love it !

      Man I can’t wait. I truly am not as experienced. I’ve only been riding for a month and I’m on a150 bintelli beast so I’m curious as to which will suit me better the 400 or 650.

      @@JoeLowmanjoeyblack well, either one will get you in trouble if you twist the throttle to much.. i would say its more about seating position, I like the upright because I feel more in control.. also hunched over hurts my back after 20 minutes. The 650 is fast off the line because of low end torc, you’ll be doin 60 mph before you realize it.. you won’t out grow it for years.. that being said, its really about self control.. good luck !

      May be weird to call the 2020+ Ninja 650 my dream bike but man, few have looked THIS good! Still fairly new and on a Ninja 300. So right now, that 650 feels like it would be my long term keeper.
