What's your opinion on a Ninja 650R as a beginner bike? I don't have experience with the clutch, but I'm very comfortable having a semi-heavy bike and I don't feel like it's ever going to fall. I know about looking through turns, throttle control, when to use the back brake and when to use the front brake and emergency braking.

@MxCliche Did you even watch this video!? Get a 250R!

Hey, what's your opinion about honda cb450 nighthawk as a first bike? Looks good ( IMO) Doesn't look uncomfortable... Not too much power.

So?

[skyline44512]

@IIoWoII If it's used that would be a pretty good starter bike :)

[goaliegonzalez28]

if my dirtbike is a 250 should I get A 500

[skyline44512]

@goaliegonzalez28 You should still get a 250R to get used to street riding. I don't think you'll be disappointed with it. However, if you get a 500 or even 600 you will probably be fine since you know how to use the clutch already and are used to handling a bike.

@jackasss8 So everyone knows, I don't speak of all women like that, but that girl really was a stupid slut lol

@np6odajackson To each his own. I specifically said riding a motorcycle has nothing to do with being a good/bad driver in a car. It's more to do with learning to ride on something inexpensive and not powerful.

I ride dirtbikes alot but im still getting a 250 for my first bike because im a huge show off and ill probably end up dead if i get a 600

After driving it for over a year, and dropping it a few times during the learning process, I bought a suzuki gs500 and learned how to drive in traffic. Those were my first two bikes.

I hope people listen to this video. This is the voice of reason, and if you are thinking about getting a first bike, listen to your common sense if you have any. Start with a 250!! I started under special circumstances though. I lived on an old WW2 airbase and was in this religious boot camp program for over a year. A guy there had a 1990 kawi 550. I bought it, and rode it all over the gravel and blacktop roads there, but never drove it on real roads. Never had it street legal. It was perfect.

great video! thanx for your tips

@morgothaod get the cbr250r thats what im getting because you can get abs with and its fuel injected. also it has more low end torque which is great for the city not so great for the highway.

[Thepace1994]

Ninja 250r's arent a cheap bike :L !!!!!!

[morgothaod]

I'm debating between the Ninja 250r and the Honda cbr250r. What are your thoughts?

[zamuriaz]

If I started on a 125cc cruiser (with gears, not a scooter) can I go up to a 650r

[tylermanfullnessly]

fine ill hold off on the ducati 848 and get a stupid ninja 250r

[TravisHuskey09]

I just bought a 2003 Honda rebel 250 and I'm loving it. Its my first bike and I'm not looking for acceleration or super top speed. I bought it for cruising and having a good time :D
