Kawasaki ninja 300 or 650?
You are young and stupid. The 300 can only do 100 mph -- not fast enough to you. You want the 650 for you can do 130-140 mph. Get a 650. Unless you are one of those rare kids who are intelligent. It is more fun riding a slow bike fast than riding a fast bike slow. At aged 65 I finally figured that a 150cc scooter is *FUN* -- especially on the freeways. But I doubt it you are good enough to ride a 150, you should get at least a 250.
What should I buy, the Kawasaki Ninja 300 or the Kawasaki Ninja 400?
Both of these bikes are conceived by Kawasaki as learner bikes. In most markets, the 400 is replacing the 300. There are pluses and minuses to both bikes. For general riding, the power difference isn’t that big a deal. I didn’t replace my Ninja 250 because it was deficient on power. So I’m serious about thinking that the 300 and 400 fulfill most of the same roles.The 400 is slightly lighter than the 300 and had more effort put into the chassis and suspension. However, the 400’s brakes are not high spec which will limit any performance riding. The 300 actually has more fuel capacity and this will translate into a longer range before refueling.The 400 will also cost you more and I’m not convinced that you will get value for dollar on the additional investment. I would pick up a used 300 and pocket the difference for good gear and gas.
Should I buy a Kawasaki Ninja 650 for a beginner? What are the others you can suggest?
We had a chap in the other day with a BMW 3.3. He was a keen fast driver. I noticed a Honda key on his keyring and asked what bike he had.He said he had a Honda CBR600RR.He said, he loved the look of it and bought it as his first bike. Remember, this is in the UK so he had already taken and of course passed, our two part motorcycle testHe said he had basically no idea how to ride it because of the amount of power and power delivery. Yes, he could ‘work’ the bike, understood and knew how to brake properly, and so on, but the bike itself was FAR more powerful than he was expecting.Put it this way, that 600cc Honda has roughly the same power to weight ratio as a Maclaren P1… Or a 500 BHP Mazda Miata or a 1000 bhp 2018 Ford MustangSo without training and significant experience, what would you think.???
Is a kawasaki ninja 600r 600 cc a good starter bike?
We get the first-bike question a lot here and lots of people think you should start on a 250, because it's smaller/lighter/easier to manage. The Ninja 250 (now 300) is designed as a trainer, so it's especially easy to learn on. But I think a 500 or 650 is not too big to start on. It's not THAT much bigger, plus it can cruise on the highway which a 250 can't really. The trouble with the Ninja 600 is not the size, it's the type of bike it is. The Ninja 500 and 650 are standards, they're general-purpose motorcycles good for all kinds of riding. But the 600 is a dedicated single-purpose sportbike, like a Suzuki GSX-R or Yamaha R6. They are not easy to ride, not forgiving for beginners. They are wonderful motorcycles for what they are, but not good for learning on. They do have a lot of power, but too much power is not a problem if you ride like a grownup and only use as much power as you need (and it's nice to have a little in reserve). If you don't ride safely and carefully you can get into trouble on a 250 just a easily. Hot sportbikes depreciate faster than general-purpose bikes, which is why this one seems so cheap. I think this is partly because the manufacturers upgrade these bikes every year or two so a 5-year-old one is 'obsolete', and partly also because they tend to be ridden really hard and thrashed after 20,000 miles. A Ninja 500 or 650 would be a much better first bike. Or a Honda 599 or Yamaha FZ6R 'Fazer'.
Should I get a Honda CBR500R or a Kawasaki Ninja 400 as my first bike?
In terms of specs and purpose both bikes seems to be in the same category, Both brands are equally good in terms of quality so I tend to think that both bikes will do a good job.In principle you should choose whathever is more confortable for you and what you like more, basically the looks. We are talking about bikes here so looks do matter.Anywa,y here are somethings to look out for in case chosing is dificult:Maintenance and dealership: Spare parts prices, km per maintenance, price of said maintenance and dealership coverage do a lot in terms of convenience. If you are going to use the bike a lot you could end up in maintenance two to three times a year. Research how good is the dealership situation of each brand where do you live.Security: Both bikes have ABS, I understan that de Kawa have it by default.Sitting position, if you are planning to go for long trip this factor is really importante. I imagine that the kawasaky may be a little bit sportier than the honda.Riding experience, the cbr is my starter bike but I had previews experiences with a nija 300 a lighter bike. If you are a beginner maybe the lighter bike is a better option.I any case I’m the proud owner of a cbr 500r and is a fantastic bike that could last you for a very long time. No one needs a bike with more horsepower thant those you are looking for. Off course we all want more but we don’t really need it. We just want to have mor fun.Remeber to ride safe.
Kawasaki zx6r first bike?
I've always been intrigued by motorcycle ever since i first took notice of them. The reason i want to start on a 600cc sportbike is because i currentl live with family and im sure they will support me with my first transportation auto for commuting to college etc... im going to uyse it for that purpose. The reason i dont want to start on other lower cc bikes is because i wont have the luxury of money nor time. i have to stick with that* bike for many years.. So I have chosen, the zx6r. i will obviously take the msf course and do everything i need to do in order to ride safely. i am not a speedfreak and am very conscious about rules and safety. For those of you that think i may be cocky choosing a 600cc racing bike as a first bike, i'd like to contradict , that i wont have the money or time to choose bike after bike. i know it may be dangerous but i will be gear-ready and mentally prepared for anything. Pls support me, and give me more input on what i can do to further improve my abilities. (i am still in highschool and wil enter college soon after. and i have yet to get the bike, but i will) P,S, i know there are cars,,but i just prefer motorcycles over 4wheels
Does the Kawasaki ninja 300 have enough power?
You started with a small cruiser. The V-Star 250 can cruise at 75 mph, comfortably if you swap out the front sprocket. You want more top speed, thinking about a 380 pound Ninja 300 with a 30.9" saddle -- have you sat one at the dealership? You may consider an old pre-2008 Ninja 250 -- 50 pounds lighter, 29.3" saddle height. ANY sport bike, other than the above older Ninjette, will be heavier and over 30" the saddle. Q. Do y'all think the ninja 300 will have enough power? A. I had a 650 Savage for 8 years, top speed 85 mph, comfortable on touring on the Interstate. I am now riding a Vespa LX150 -- 151.46cc, rev limited to 65 mph, I am comfortable on the freeways of Los Angeles and touring on the Interstates. You never *need* speed. 90% of the time it you are in trouble at speed *more* speed will just make it worse.
Is a Kawasaki Ninja 300 a good first motorcycle?
Yes it is, I personally start in one.The reason I say its a good motorcycle because I still own it, my friends own it too ! Including the 250 ! And being a Kawasaki its very reliable and strong, so you won't have trouble keeping it. Also the engine is very smooth, and Kawasaki have the tendencies to put all of the power on the high rpm range, this will teach you to use the maximum potential of you bike and adapt to every kind of situation there is. The brakes last good however being a Kawasaki you should know that every Kawasaki motorcycles I've ridden they have the tendencies to not have a really strong initial bite: its braking hard but you just won't feel it. So try to get the ABS model as this usually cause new rider to grab the brake and locks the wheelsMaintenance is on the great side ! Its a Kawasaki, its very reliable. Just remember to change the oil and do the engine break-in properly and you got a really fun bike to ride !The only downside of this bike is that, its a 300… Yamaha have the R3 which is 312cc (correct me if I'm wrong) and the KTM have 390cc, but its a single cylinder. However like I said the engine is so smooth you won't even notice you're getting closer to the redline as it doesn't vibrate that much.Please di remember that Kawasaki made really great bikes and they're loud, even tho they're named 'Ninja'This is me and my friends going for a ride, I live in Bali
What is the weight limit on a Kawasaki Ninja 300.?
I have read the spec sheet but,I was curious to hear from any owners to know what real world weight starts to give the bike trouble.I weigh about 280 lbs,I was wondering if that will affect performance/acceleration.
