Should I get a Ducati Monster or a Honda CBR as my starter bike?

I purchased my starter bike in 2006. I started with a Kawasaki Ninja 250. At the time, it was the smallest displacement sport bike I could buy in the US. It was also a lot of fun.I did this for what I believe are important reasons. Beyond the drop issue, which can be expensive, there is the need to learn to ride defensively, and to recognize what kind of trouble a high powered motorcycle can get you into. Last year, I had to attend the funeral of a friend who hadn’t learned that in 20 years of riding. The temptation to slice through traffic at excessive speed is enormous, and most sportbikes have an acceleration curve that puts them in the same league with a Ferrari. CBRs and Monsters are included in that grouping.Please, get a bike that will not overpower your abilities, nor break the bank if you drop it or have an accident. Also, take some of your money and invest in gear to protect you. I wear CE rated jackets, gloves, and boots, a DOT/ECE rated helmet, and Kevlar lined pants.To finish my story, I spent 4 years on the Ninja, learned how to ride in wind, rain, and traffic, and replaced it with the VFR800 in my avatar. I’ve logged 30,000 miles on that bike. Yes, it is both fun and fast.

Can 150cc bike go for long distance rides of about 350+ kms?

This is my experience of taking Pulsar 150 for a ride of 300 + Km.During first two hours of ride, I was riding with the speed of 90 to 100 Km/Hour non stop, which caused noise in a engine. When i showed it to a local mechanic, he changed engine oil and asked me to go with the speed of 70–80 Km/Hour and also to take halts on regular interval. I followed his instructions for rest of the ride. But, All this did not stop noise coming from engine. Later, When i took my bike to Bajaj service centre, They told me that there is something wrong inside the engine, and to fix it up, they need to open the engine. So, they opened the engine and changed few parts which reduced the noise, but it did not stop the noise completely. This whole affair cost me around 5 K.So, I would suggest you to be careful. Ride at lower speeds. Stop after every 70 to 80 Km.Ride safe.Cheers (Y) .

How can a fuel injection engine change to a carburetor?

It depends on the engine and it's more common to go from carburetor to fuel injection not the other direction. On some engines you would still have an ECU for spark and timing control or the transmission. On other engines it's relatively straight forward.The lower intake has to be changed for one with a place to mount a carburetor. On some throttle body fuel injection setups you can swap one for the other without changing the intake. In most cases a different manifold is required.The fuel pressure for fuel injection is higher 40+psi, a low pressure pump is ideal and a fuel pressure regulator for carb level psi around 5psi. Is needed. The fuel rails or fuel lines need changed at least for the last few feet.The ignition system needs to no longer be computer controlled. That might mean an MSD style ignition box or just a coil and distributor swap, it depends on the engine and what it originally had.Your ignition and computer are probably the hardest parts, getting the engine to fire up again might take some extra effort.Air, fuel and spark will all need some attention. Going from carb to throttle body fuel injection is more common lately and it might be less effort to upgrade your fuel injection from stock to something better instead of going to a carb.On a small block Ford or Chevy it's really pretty easy to convert and probably -$1000 especially if you use used parts you could probably convert for under $500.Finding out what your car needs to start without an ECU or how to confuse it to be able to start is something you'll have to look up for the specific engine/car in question.On some engines the conversion is probably impossible without fabricating an intake manifold. Others, you can find the parts on Craigslist or the junkyard and it might only take an afternoon or two.
