Your vids are chill and you make a lot of relatable points. I just like how you are not over the top, was a nice watch. Subbed by the way.
Thank you for the sub. Appreciate the comment as well. Yea I try to be. It works being extra for some people but honestly if it’s to much I stop watching myself.
Another great video, plenty of 'food for thought' as we say in little Olde England 👍
Keep it up awesome footage!!!
Hey like your content I picked up a 2020 used black ninja 650 as my first bike last year and I love it. I agree with all your points the wrist thing is a real killer 🤣 so true , ride safe bro
Appreciate that sir. I just took it in for my 1st service, and it’s 30 outside. Man oh man. After a while it was hard to use my levers. Ride safe too. 🏍️
GREAT VIDEO! You should call these segments "...Because You're A Smart Rider.", where you offer some tidbits of information or suggestions like this. Very sound advise.
That’s a great idea. I actually like that a lot.
Great video, NOT too long
Glad you liked it!
My first bike was a Z650 commuting an hour and a half each way to work. Got tired of that interstate drag real quick. Good video with good points. Subbed and hope to see more from you
I would be very interested in riding one of those. I wanna see how big a difference the farings make on the 650.
@@CityNinja650 it makes a huge difference. I traded it for a ninja 1000 because it got cramped after like half an hour. Kinda miss the smaller displacement bikes though. It's a different kind of fun to crank that thing as hard as it will go and not be going so fast you'll dig a deep grave
guys, you know what he means.
😂❤ loved the video!
very educational, entertaining and most importantly, authentic.
keep up the safe riding ^.^
Lol. Thank you so much. I am glad I toned down saying that. It’s not bad but sometimes I notice I say it a lot. The “Umms” too. Crazy this is like 4 or 5 months old already. I’m so sad the season is closing. But I do plan on riding in winter when I can. Thank you for the support. Really means alot. 🔥🔥🔥
Good video. I'm currently fixing up a Ninja 650 for this season, so hopefully I get it finished in time. On another note, I noticed throughout your video you ride in the center of the lane a lot. It's encouraged to ride on the left or right 1/3rd of the lane since that is the more grippy part of the road. The center is where rocks and slippery fluids are and you're much more likely to lose traction. stay safe!
You are absolutely right. A nice thing about making these videos is that I can see what I'm doing wrong. In my first one "test run" I noticed I would be right behind a stopped car with no escape rt. not good. Hope you get your bike fixed soon man. Thank you for the comment. Ride safe brother
i’m subscribing brother love the videos
Really appreciate it🔥🔥🔥
I’m enjoying the channel and happy it’s working
Yep im subbing right now, this is great.... :)
Remember me when you get famous xD
the first service can be done on your own, most of it is just inspection and if you need to adjust anything its in the owners manual. OR if you're familiar with your tools and can identify things from a diamgram, spend the extra $100 or so to get the service manual and do things yourself. you save money and you get to know your bike at the same time.
the other tips are typically what people overlook so good job!
great video otherwise, you got my sub. keep it up!
This is all true and definitely plan on doing my own maintenance (oil changes, chain cleaning etc)This being my first bike I just went this route. But you are absolutely right. You will really get to know and understand your machine doing your own work. Glad I put out a video that has decent content to get someone with experience to sub me up. Appreciate the comment 🔥🔥🤙🤙
Thinking about getting a 650. Not new to riding, but it's enough for what I need, and starting to get into the sport bikes a little. I'm on an electric thing now. Maybe weighs 400-450. I get blown around on windy days. We had a few warm days, last week, and I was riding at a lean half the time because of the wind. lol
Gets pretty crazy for sure. When we had days like that I was getting hit pretty good. Catches you by surprise sometimes lol
considering getting this same exact bike real soon here..
I don’t think you will be disappointed tbh. I love it
I’m really starting to like the white I’m getting the same bike next month
🔥🔥🔥. The 650 is fun. I think so anyways
cool
I've a 250 cc scooter with a passenger, and was blown almost into another lane scary but fun and learning leason.
👀👀👀. I bet that was an experience. But your right. It happened then you learned from it. 🔥🔥🔥
21:56 yeooow yeooow yeooow
what part of pa you from? Just bought my first bike a 22 vulcan S. Cant wait to ride, maybe someday we can go on a cruise
I was so close to buying that same bike. I live in the Pittsburgh area. I think that be cool I like to eventually ride with other people for sure.
Okay, so 0 things I hadn't considered. Number 6? Hearing protection all the time. Hearing loss is subtle, insidious, and frequently permanent. And Shoei kinda sounds like Showy. I'll give you a like, regardless. My bike is getting delivered Saturday, so keep doing your thing, and I'll watch.
Hey bro, love the video and the tips. I am looking forward to purchase the KRT edition this summer. Can you please tell me what fuel you use? Like regular unleaded or the premium one and also the mileage it gives please :)
Thanks for the comment 🔥🤙
I run regular unleaded in mine as of right now. I wanna ask my dealership if it’s cool to use something better before I put any in for myself.
I get about 58mpg on average and my range says 160+ (literally has the little +) ima fill up today actually to film my next video so I’ll comment again here to give you a more accurate estimate.
I wish we , in Ontario Canada, only had a 7% tax, we have 13%, tax rate. 😅😢
Holy shit. That’s so steep
How much did you pay out the door?
After taxes and everything it was a little over 10k
All true. I put 1500 just on the first 3/4 of the month. Experienced head wind in the highway and that scared me at first. Got my 650 in January. It was cold ride for more than half the time. You get cold fingers, runny nose, and worse if all riding becomes sluggish. When is hot, it's hot cause you're a super smart rider so ATGATT and if you're like me, you're wearing all black lol. Wind is super loud to where i could hardly hear my motorcycle so wearing ear plugs is a must if you don't want to lose your hearing. Everything is crazy expensive, because again you're a smart rider and so ATGATT and that means money. You want phone mounts, you want a cardo, you want to customize your bike and all of this means money. I won't lie to you, I spent close to 1.5k on the bike and safety gears, not including maintenence.But I tell you what, riding is fun. Wrist fatigue is real, if you ride as long as I do on any given day, your wrist will scream if you dont stretch.
That’s a hole damn house
"I like to shut up sometimes when I'm making a turn" and proceeds to keep talking 😆
I noticed that when re watching lol. 🫠
why is your high beam on?
I ride with them on for extra visibility. They don’t blind other drivers so that’s why
@City Ninja ah, I got a 22 650 but in my case, ppl find my regular lights too bright lol
i’m never rode a motorcycle before and i wanna buy the ninja 650 for my first is that okay?
That’s the same situation I was in. First bike I rode was at my MSF class. And this is my first bike.
@@CityNinja650my first bike is a 650 ninja 2019. I love it. Great starting bike
@@quentinbourne33 it really is too. Just all around. Even considering insurance and all that. Just a great machine
@@CityNinja650 whats the fastest you ever been? I was told the bike only goes 131mph
@@quentinbourne33 if I’m being 100%. 98
This is my first bike so I wasn’t trying to go to nuts. By time I got comfortable enough to do that I started to need tires. I actually just got them in the mail today. I do wanna see 100 on the speedo tho. My luck is get a death wobble lol
Your math on the taxes a bit off I can tell you this 7% of 10,000 is only $700 double check your math
He added freight and setup as well brother.
City ninja, please take the mic a bit away from the mouth... its a little too much.
Yea audio gets fixed rather quickly after this video. This is older and when I first started doing it.
Too long
Why you got High beam on all the time ? lol ( or country beam, i dont know the english word, had to google translate it 8))
Lol that’s funny. I always have it on too be seen a little extra from other vehicles. It don’t blind them so it works out
@@CityNinja650 In Germany its forbidden and if the Police sees you with it, you might have to pay a little fee. lul. You are only allowed to use it outside of cities, in the night or if the envoirment isnt bright enough.
@@heiniklausen2718 really. Wow that’s pretty interesting. Yea I don’t do it to be rude or anything. Just to be seen a little more.
What will Cost the 12 000 km 1 year service?
