    When did Scotty Kilmer start reviewing bikes 😂. We can thank Cf moto with their 450ss/sr for making this segment start to advance. When they dropped the 2023 450 with 5" TFT full color changeable display with bluetooth and Nav, Bremo front brake, led lights, adjustable rear suspension, and adjustable levers. Built in frame sliders. Abs comes standard. Anti theft features like steering lock, a built in T-box you can connect to through cf moto app. You can track the bike if stolen, it has a vibration sensor to notify you if someone is messing with your bike, tells you the fuel level, milage, maintenance. 50hp 30tq all for 5,399 in 2023. Love em or hate em they shocked the market, they were released outside of the US in 2021 or 2022.

    I’ve owned many bikes throughout the years. 300s, 600s, Harley-Davidson softails. Now I ride a HD Low Rider S. Out of all the bikes I ridden the Ninja 300 was the most fun I’ve had on 2 wheels. I loved the fact that you could use 100% of the bike all the time. I’m thinking about picking this bike up as a fun little second bike.

      Still in break in period so taking it easy but the changes to the seat are great! Especially for the gentlemen riders. I feel more low end power as opposed to the 400 ninja. The TFT display and keyless are nice features. Loving this bike so far so will have more when I get past break in period. I know a full exhaust and tune along with velocity stacks and air filter will be on my list as soon as TST industries has them.

    It's a slight upgrade to the Ninja 400, but not worth trading in a Ninja 400 for it.

      I agree with Ray, keep your 400, my son has the same bike as you & it’s an awesome bike for street riding or track days, perfect amount of power, now if you want to jump up to a supersport, that’s a different story. The 500 is really not much better or faster than the 400.

    • @wronger1000
      @wronger1000 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      See, I do like the small upgrades that they did do to the bike But overall, just not sure if it’s really worth it and unfortunately, in my case, yes I do want the zx6r but sadly, the cost of insurance is just too much for me right now hence why I’m sticking with the smaller displacement for the time being. Eventually, I do plan to keep the smaller bike overall and convert it to track only

      Since the 500 is basically a 400 with an updated instrument cluster and slightly bigger engine so they could meet emissions without killing the performance, I'd go with the 500. The 500 is going to be a little sportier feeling (650 you'll sit more upright) and cheaper.

      @exiawildfire7708 I was in the same boat over the weekend. Found a dealer to let me test ride both 500 and 650. The 650 has much more torque but for street use I found found it to be unnecessary felt jumpy compared to 500. 500 is still fast. Much smoother than 650 and more comfortable. The price is also about 2500 cheaper. I'd say go with 500 unless you're a bigger guy. 500 has plenty power and is a lot of fun. Also, 650 felt much heavier at slower speeds

It might seem small and unnecessary but as someone who has a 10 million reach per month on instagram i notice i have made mistakes which my followers have thought was okay and accidentally gave them a bad habit wothout even realizing it. Im not a motorcycle creator but just a lesson i learned and felt like it could just set a good example for the new rider. I mean this in the most respectful way!

    I was thinking to get 400 as my first bike. Do you recommend I get the 500 instead? Or wait on rebates for 400 (only if discount is 1k+ I'll consider) what do you think?

      I’m getting a 500 for my first bike . Everyone keeps saying just get a 650 cause I’ll get bored quick , but I’m not tryna be on demon time . I highly doubt I’ll get bored of the 500 any time soon

      Buy a used Ninja 300 for a few grand. Ride the hell out of it for a season or two. Sell it for almost as much as you bought it for. Then go get you a new Ninja ZX-6R. Ride that for a few years. Realize that going long distances on it sucks. Trade it in for a Harley Low Rider S. This is the way.

    • @RayBowdenRides
      @RayBowdenRides  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      From what I seen at the Aprilia 457 release Aprilia did at Plano Kawasaki, the Aprilia has a Bosch imu , Kawasaki doesn't, The Aprilia has a quick shifter- it's already on the bike but it's going to cost I believe 400 dollars to electronically unlock it, the Aprilia is a little more track focused, but the Kawasaki is able to ad all the extras to it except the imu , it's a tough call , there getting upwards of 57-59 hp with a flash on the Kawasaki 500, that's huge !

    The problem with the Ninja 500, is the Ninja ZX-4RR, which sounds infinitely better with its high revving 16,000 rpm, inline 4 engine.
    Sounds like the old V12 F1 cars, music to my ears.
    I'm planning on getting the 40th anniversary ZX-4RR next month, which will definitely hold its value.
    Not sure if the Ninja 500 will hold its value, probably not, since parallel twins are a dime a dozen these days.

      I've spoken to 3 dealerships and found one that is selling for $1,016 off what the others are selling it for.

      zx4rr isn't really a move up in terms of acceleration untill you are going illegal speeds. If you want a slightly more comfortable bike and plan to go legal-ish speeds I would save a few bucks and get a Ninja 400 or Ninja 500.

    I cannot say enough great things about these bikes. This along with the Honda cbr500r are very comfortable. I own the Honda, it was my first bike. I kept it and bought other bikes, much bigger bikes, but this for daily riding and commuting is absolutely perfect. I took it touring very long distances many many times and I don't get neck or shoulder pain even compared to a kawasaki concours 14, which is a sport touring. I am happy they make these bikes so affordable and so capable.
