Congrats bro, I got the same bike. First time on the highway the wind was crazy and the amount of cars was intimidating. But being confident is the game!
During my MSV test, I threw on my helmet I had stored in my garage for a day or two... During the whole day it was chill vibes until the first final test of four. At that point, during my driving, two cockroaches crawled across my face.
@@steakgg I have no experience on a bike, just 4 years of fantasizing watching videos. But I can’t imagine it’s any worse than driving with the windows down
Not gonna lie . Took my 2024 Kawa 500 anniversary out and the wind sucked at 60mph. Maybe I’m being a baby or maybe if I wear gear I won’t feel it as much but I felt like the bike was even moving but if i tucked it got better
@christiansanchez1486 yeah but that's what I mean. A lot of new riders.. me included... tend to be a bit hesitant about their first time on the highway. But I found that it's easier on the highway because I'm not dealing with intersections, two lane roads, and random driveways.
I see you being very conservative and careful while riding. Good news, you will become one of the best riders in the street 👋🏽. Don't give a shit about people what they say. I ride the ZX10R and I am also new to riding but after 5000 miles, I haven't encountered even a single danger let alone a crash. The key of a professional rider is that they never even allow to get in a trap to have the need to use their skills. You keeping that distance will guarantee that nothing will happen to you. Happy riding 🎉
GET IT, I paid extra for this colorway and I DO NOT REGRET IT. Just make sure the dealer doesnt screw you. I bought mine for 7400 (including tax, title, and reg). Ive seen lots of posts on facebook where people are buying base models for upwards of 9k!
I am super new as well. I am learning and mainly so far have went up and down my street doing really sharp uturns on my narrow street. What should I do next?
That’s exactly how I started, once I was comfortable I rode around to other neighborhoods. Stayed within 4 miles from home and move further as you get more comfortable
Dude its a fucking teenager living with her mommy has no fucking bills to pay . It's not hard to figure after you hear him talking that his a little shithead, mommy bought him this bike.
I run it on the highway to work most days (and have around 2,000 miles on the bike now), it is not shaky at all, the only downside is that I am always in the upper RPM range of 6th gear most of the ride. I have heard the same "issue" with the 650, it is just how the motors are built. but outside of that it is perfectly fine on the highway.
@steakgg thank you for replying bro, i just can't decide what to get. But seen you on freeway like nothing kind of got me motivated for the 500 Lol. I seen you at 100 mph in like 4th or 5th gear. What's your top speed?
@@clever805 The fastest I've hit is 124 at 175 body weight. but the bike is great around the high 90s low 100s. The price difference between the two bikes is not that big, I would do some research if I were you. But take in mind I did pick the 500 over the 650.
@steakgg yeah, gonna look into a little but my bank would like me getting the 500 way more lol. I just seen it gets shaky after 70 mph, so I wasn't too sure if i wanted it. I want to travel a bit. Appreciate you taking your time. You for sure got a new follower
I notice you revving a lot on downshifts with the clutch pulled, any reason? Im wanting to get a bike and just wondering if it's to rev match or some shit.
@steakgg is this something you learn to do after you get your licence. I'm in the UK, so it might be different, but did you get told to do it during lessons, etc?
You said it was hard to shift your weight around and throw the bike around on the highway after 60... Are you counter steering? You should be counter steering and the bike will respond immediately.
@@steakgg I think another option is to go to the dmv and take a knowledge and vision test to get your permit then take the test 20 days later right? Or am I mistaken abt this? lol thank you man I appreciate it. My parents don’t even want me getting a bike but I’m getting it anyways 💀
@@EvansMustang the msf cpurse (atleast the one I took) incorporated all of that. They also teach importsnt fundamentals of riding. My parents did not want me to get a bike either, understandably. Sometimes it is better to ask for forgiveness rathee than permission 😅
I don't know if the states test on this, but I see you riding a lot in the right tire track on the highway instead of the left. Being on the right is incorrect blocking position for a two lane highway. Work on that. :) Good stuff though!
I switch positions often on the highway but typically I stay near the dotted line for the best visibility (right position in the left lane and the left position in the right lane)
just a heads up the speedo is off by 3-4 mph so when cars are mad behind u in a 35 zone its really cuz ur doing closer to 30 which i think all drivers dread lol but get content keep it up boss
Control your breathing.....or turn down your mic volume...you sound loud. 😂 Looking where your going and thats where you end up.... applies to mostly anything. Not just motorcycles

I’m not complaining. I’ve just always heard riders complain about the wind when riding. Can definitely hear it in this video
Yeah, the wind is definitely there but it doesn’t bother me personally
@@steakgg I have no experience on a bike, just 4 years of fantasizing watching videos. But I can’t imagine it’s any worse than driving with the windows down
@@ct1236 That's fair, I've only ridden fully faired bikes so it make be worse of cruisers or naked bikes but honestly the wind isn't that bad overall.
I own the 500 and it's a sail when going 110 kmh +.
I got caught in some medium wind the other and was fighting it the whole ride.

The highway isn’t as scary as one thinks it’s actually safer than riding on the streets
Yeah pretty much. Going consistently fast vs stop and go... I'll take the highway any day.
@@danswizzle4113 it’s not about going faster it’s simply easier to avoid distracted drivers on the highway vs on the streets

Depends on the highway honestly. Like DFW highway? No shot that’s safer.
Have fun brother! I have always wanted a ninja small bike and after watching this. I think next year I'm going to get one!
Do it man! It is a freaking blast!!
What you said about looking at a spot and thats where you'll be is the same as when you're driving a car. Just more noticable on a bike.

Be careful when weaving in bike joy. Don't weave towards oncoming traffic and scare them.
How is the 500 on the freeway? Is it real shaky? I'm debating between the 650 and the 500. I'd be riding bike everyday for work and adventures.
I run it on the highway to work most days (and have around 2,000 miles on the bike now), it is not shaky at all, the only downside is that I am always in the upper RPM range of 6th gear most of the ride.
