My first commute for work - this is the way home from NY side to NJ side on the Tappan Zee bridge. The wind is really kicking up and this was very scary when doing it. I got over it, but I drove like most people Grandparents. What can you do? It was only my 5th time riding on this bike.

  • thats totally me when I get mine and start commuting haha, getting mine in red too. Should be in this month

  • Cool! Mine is the older 2007 model. The 2008's are hot! Apparently, nobody has them in stock.

  • lol was it embarassing with cars passing u?

  • Yes, damn it! Too bad I'm such a noob. Even a couple of days later and I'm riding much faster on the highways.

    But I'll tell you - that is some mean wind on the Tappan Zee. Maybe sometime when I have more experience I'll revisit that bridge and show it a thing or two or at least go a little faster!

  • Lol the bridge is in New York, I live in tarrytown which is in Westchester County and the other side of the bridge is in Nyack, Rockland County.

  • DAY-AM!! That is one LONG-ASS Bridge!! Lol.

  • Heehee,I HEAR YA strong on this one man!! I have an 06 and I've ridden it in VERY GUSTY winds before and you quickly find yourself correcting the steering constantly, cuz all it takes is just a slight GUST to knock the bike from one side of the road to the other due to how light it is.

  • woah dude great vids. i just bought a red 2007 ninja 250r. live in the bronx as well.

  • There is no "NJ side" both sides of the bridge are in NY...

  • yea specially since its a light bike

    now if u had a hayabusa, u could go a LITTLE faster...

    im finally going to be able to get one for xmas

    great gas milage

  • dude i understand the wind gusts. Same thing happens to me, usually when there are not many trees around to block it for you. Don't take crap about it. You got good judgment. Everyone else is a squid.

  • how bad are we talking? bad enough to knock you over? how is the bike on the highways? can you easily keep up?
