can you tell how much it consumes fuel riding on highway around 120-140 kmh? and how much it comsumes in city?
Getting my gsxr1000 tmr riding it home no experience 👍 (not joking)
I know that no one will probably read my message but I had a 2018 ninja 650 and the throttle DID NOT have any play in the throttle. Once the slack was taken up it would give it way too much fuel and that was the thing that actually ended up causing me to sell it. It would gun up too fast with even the smallest throttle input and would engine brake too hard when off the throttle. Happily upgraded to a Z900 and it is way smoother to ride.
Im super excited to get one! Just got my license. Im 6'2 and 200 lbs do you think id look awkward on the bike at that size? Thanks for the review!
I don’t think it would be at all. I’m 5’11 at 190 and I don’t feel to big on the bike. Best thing is to sit on one and if you feel comfortable then go for it. If you want something maybe taller there is the Verseys 650. Same engine and everything. It may give you extra room
@@CityNinja650awesome thank you for the reply I have looked into the versys something about the ninja 650 gets me a lot more excited to get lol
@@user-nz4uh5hx5d I understand that for sure. Honestly at the time of filming this and when I was looking at my first bike I felt the same exact way. I love the 650. It has been nothing but good in every way.
You had it in Rain mode which is the least responsive throttle mapping. There was just a $5k off MSRP deal which made it a little more reasonable.
Yea all the bikes had to be in rain mode unfortunately. I understand why but still you’re right.
Bro ask to test ride the SuperVeloce 800
I really want to. Ione of the reasons why I want these videos to do well is so they see that lol. There are a lot of bikes I wanna ride given the opportunity
40000 km percorsi un gioiello ❤
Left handle= rear break, right handle = front break.
Awesome video man ride safe I have about 9000 on my 23 ninja 650. I've only added the full exhaust, frame sliders, diaper delete and a dash camera to cover my butt.
Hey man thanks for the video now I’ve narrowed down my options to ninja 500 se abs for 6400$ or ninja 650 for 8200 but no abs I wouldn’t get one if it did bc its 8900 what should I get
@@rileylofin7653 I wouldn’t go with the more expensive 650 either. Some might argue that it’s important to have abs for a new rider but I don’t think it’s a make or break. As far as which one to get also keep in mind Insurance if money is a major concern. Me personally I’m keeping my 650 for life. I love the bike but a lot of people sell them to upgrade after a while. Resale value and overall resell ability is something to consider as well. Like you can sell a 650 to a beginner, intermediate and advanced rider. Can’t really do that with a 400. Only new riders and people wanting a track bike will go for them. Idk if the 500 would be the same or not. Honestly (personally)between the 500 and 650 I would go with the 650. After all this time in the bike I’m not bored. I do want more power sometimes but that’s just me being greedy. I feel with a 400 or 500 I would feel that a lot more. Also consider where you live. I live close to Pittsburgh and have all kinds of riding situations. City, highway, interstate, farm roads. For the interstate I wouldn’t wanna be on anything less then a 650. And that’s extensive time on it too. Not just getting on and off. I do long trips where I’m on it for 5 hrs and I definitely wouldn’t wanna do that for long. If did a video about buying a first bike where I bring a lot of this stuff up. Might be of some value to you. Let me know if you need any more info
@@CityNinja650 I don’t need more info that’s great information thank you I live in Mississippi where we have highways city abs interstates some 55 mph. Rides abs country roads I will probably get the ninja 650 thanks did the help
@rileylofin7653 cool. Glad to help. Either bike you go with you will love
As soon as I saw reversed brakes I knew this isn't a serious piece of kit. It's something that rhymes with piece of kit, tho. Why would anyone be so stupid as to reverse the brakes. That just can't be true. Good lord.
The front brake is actually on the right.
That guy falling on that expensive bike ahead, that is unfortunate if he's just learning to ride or whatever happened. That waiver probably has his insurance cover that cost.
Yea that really sucks. I felt bad. Honestly there were a lot of guys on the rides that kept stalling and almost dropping them.
@@CityNinja650 Yes, I saw that other guy having trouble later in the video and you had to pass him up.
Neat scooter, thanks for the info. Looks very expensive with the technology. I haven't tested a scooter yet but nice going adapting to the new set up.
Oh yea real experience. I think 14k. That’s insane. Set up was super weird. The weirdest thing was being able to tap my knees together. No tank. Felt really off going through turns
@@CityNinja650 Yes, that must be an adjustment riding a scooter. $14,000 from BMW with the electric motor. Hopefully it had a good 200 mile range on it before a recharge. Thanks.
No, not home
Yes I'm watching u again
Appreciate the support for sure. Feel free to let me know anything I could do better or even video ideas!!!
Your the reason I want to ride
I love it
No go on
Let's go
I love the handelbars
You don't need to use the brakes hardly ever. Use regen.
Ew wtf
Nice review man. Definitely don't think I'd be getting one of those anytime soon, but was still cool to see/learn about it.
I won’t be either lol. It was a cool experience tho and I’m always a fan of that. I rode a bigger one later that day. It was a little better
You need tank grips
Awesome video! I’m moving up from a ninja 300 and was a little worried I was getting myself in too trouble but this video helped me feel confident in my decision!
You will be great on a 650. Especially with previous experience. Honestly the biggest thing for me was the weight. Everything else came natural and with you having experience it will be a great bike
Hey dude, with that throttle/ brake issue, I think your brake is set too close to the throttle. You want it further so you cannot do both at the same time.
Hey Matthew! Great video. I recently upgraded my T32s to the Road 6s and I can confidently say they are the best tires I've ever had. They increased my confidence in cornering significantly and they are supposed to be tops in the wet.. They do cost a bit more but I believe they're worth it. Plus they are supposed to go at least 10K miles provided one keeps them properly inflated. I run 36/42 front/rear. Also, have you been maintaining your chain? It might be time to replace that as well. My dealer tells me that 15K is about the typical life of a properly cleaned/lubricated/tensioned chain. Also, check your sprockets for wear; most people change these with a new chain too. Steve from S. Oregon.
Thank you for that. Yea I do want the road6. Especially if they get that kinda mileage. I do have a new chain on. Last winter the salt completely destroyed it lol. I think I was around 11k when I got it replaced.
I got a 2014 ninja 1000. Bought used for $6800 with 20k miles and all the mods I wanted. To me it was a perfect purchase. It definitely is more power than I need but I love the low to mid range torque. I’ve still been thinking about getting a 2nd bike and the ninja 650 & 400 have been on my mind. Watching your videos makes me think go for the 650.
Go with the 650. I don't think the 400 would satisfy your comfort with the 1000.
Yeah me too, Don’t know what to get between 650 or 400. But I’m leaning towards the 650😅
I just bought a new 2024 Indian Scout Rogue Sixty … like you, I have ZERO experience on 2wheels outside of my bicycle. I haven’t even taken my course yet. (I take mine end of July). I do have some experience with clutch bc my first couple of cars were stick, but that was 20 years ago. The familiarity still remains though. I had it delivered, and I’ve had it for 2 days now. I’ve been practicing with friction zone and walking the bike forwards/backwards but nothing faster than 5mph. I need to take it to the road to go fast enough to lift my feet and practice shifting, but I’m still scared sh!tle$$ … I still haven’t left my driveway. 😂 Like you said, at some point though I just have to do it. Congrats on the bike & good luck!
That’s a beautiful bike. I really like Indian motorcycles. They are really sharp looking. Congratulations on it. Yea man you learn at your own pace and do what feels right. It’s pretty amazing how fast things start clicking with them. You go up the road and back and next thing you know you’re around the neighborhood. Enjoy it dude. You only get your first motorcycle once lol. And like you said you know car clutch so you get the idea. Honestly car is more difficult for me. Maybe because it’s in the hands idk
greetings from California. I like putting your videos on in the back ground and listen to it while doing stuff. I'll be joining the Ninja 650 family in a couple days. Looking forward to it
And hello from Pennsylvania lol. Thank you for supporting the channel. It means a lot. Congrats on the soon to be 650. It’s such an awesome bike.
Update!!?? I’m planning on buying one too🤙
@@prolificseeker4778 The bikes been great! Feels really good. Took it around town couple times and I love it. Considering I have little experience its been great to learn on. The little mechanism built in so that the bike goes into Neutral every time super easy at a stop is amazing. Spoiled me lol
Been a very warm summer so far. Riding in the mornings is much more forgiving from the intense heat of afternoon. Congratulations on 15,000 miles experience. Nice riding.
Thank you. 15k goes fast. Yea it’s been miserable here. I hate the heat so bad lol. Definitely been extra hot here in pa
Never expected to see Mosites on KZread took my msf there a month ago really fun place to go to people there are really cool
I’m very happy to be able to share them. It really is a great dealership. Like you said there are a lot of good people who work there. All departments
Im scared of other drivers more than my driving
That’s real. One good thing Is all you can do to help you do to put yourself in the best situation. Longer you ride too you can really tell when someone is about to do something stupid
I want a all white bike no other colors
I agree. This is a good combo but all white looks better I think. I wanna wrap it eventually
I change mine at no more than 3,000 miles I use tin foil and a strap wrench for the filter. I use Motul 7100 and a WIX 51358 hand tight the filter torque the drain plug 22 foot pounds. Torque wrenches are your friend.
I got some perelli angel st from Amazon for 225 for the set awesome tires and they are sport touring tires
I really agree with your take on the "high" from getting attention doing things that are not safe. Very wise words! :) Lovely video as always!
Appreciate it brother. Sometimes I do wanna post those kinds of videos to show how the bike can perform but idk. It’s a fine line sometimes.
@@CityNinja650 totally understand. What keeps me away from it is just the thought of one corner potentially be the last.
at 7:45 did the other riders put there foot down to indicate the gravel?
Yea right after that there is a strip of black in tue middle of the road. That’s collected gravel
Hell yeahhh!!! That's what's up my guy! Loved the ninja650
It’s a well made bike. Honestly anything Japanese you can’t go wrong. Sorry about your loss by the way brother. Never easy
A Z900 might be a nice upgrade for the next bike? ;-) You get what you want, don't mind me. Nothing wrong with the Versys for sure!
I do like how they look. Idk if they still make a z1000 but that thing looked absolutely insane. If the insurance isn’t ridiculous it’s on the table of possibilities
@CityNinja650 - Z1000 was discontinued in 2023. And I agree, they are awesome looking. After sitting on the Z1000 and it's rock hard seat and owning the Z900, I'll take the Z900 every day. The performance is close enough, and for me, the insurance was a bit cheaper (buy that is so person specific, that doesn't mean much). It depends on how you use your bike, of course. The Versys is way more comfy than either Z. It was just too tall for me, even the 650 is up there, lol.
Matt is watching! lol and yeah I was dead serious about helping, and also serious about not needing paid haha Just hit me up man and I’ll be more than happy to help!
my first ever bike is arriving to me in an hour. Your bike is the exact one too. Super excited!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥that’s what’s up. Congratulations. It’s such a good beginner bike.
earned a sub by not being a squid. you are spot on the money for me the biggest thing is showing how to approach corners properly setting yourself up for the most safe form of ride for the conditions
Thank you for the sub. Yea I’m a huge advocate for gear. I mean it sucks in the extreme heat that’s for sure but the aftermath of a crash with no gear is much worse than being hot.
Big respect for using your bike to the fullest. 15,000 is a great milestone. With regular maintenance, you could easily pass 100,000 on this bike.
Appreciate that. I think so too. There are a few other things I got to do for it but nothing I can’t do myself. Just waiting on a day off. I’m very attentive to the chain as well as oil changes. I would love to see this bike with 100k
I still have mine in the shop for almost a week now for the 12000km/7600miles periodic maintenance. It is announced to be done on monday. I don't know what takes them so long, perhaps low on staff.
I was reading my manual and it looks like they do a good bit. They must be backed up tho for it to take that long. Hope you get it back soon tho.
To give you a heads up: I picked her up today after a week. The shop told me that they hat some unexpected reporting sick mechanics. Especially those who can perform a vacuum synchronization. I paid 413 Euros and 29 for the rental bike. They only charged me one day instead of 7.
Good morning! I have a 2024 Ninja 650 and I live in Florida! The heat does suck at stop lights but if feels so good in the wind riding by the beach! I hit 1,000 miles on my bike recently so I’ll do a 1k review video soon. Love your content and I’m going to try to start posting more motovlogs. We’ve been mostly just posting entertaining shorts. My wife rides a Honda CBR500R. We love how upright these bikes sit and we ride for around 2-4 hours each time we go out. Ride safe City Ninja!!
Waiting for your video fyi😂 im thinking to buy a ninja650 so watching and reading everything about it i can find on the internet nowadays. Most reviews are pretty positive. But some people say it doesnt have upside down fork suspension on front idk if it matters for a casual rider like me
@@zoomzoomcat The fork thing made me think also but I haven’t noticed any issues and cant tell the difference in feel from my wife’s CBR500R which has its suspension opposite to my 650. Maybe it matters for track riding but no issues so far.
Dooo iiiiiit! :) I subbed! I wanna see some vlogs :D No pressure of course hahah
Idk how you guys down there do it. I mean we been getting very hot and humid temps up here for a good bit of years now but I couldn’t do it every single day lol. Looking forward to the vlogs dude. I love seeing anything about the ninja. Ride safe as well. Congratulations on the 1k miles. They grow up so fast lol
im currently 16 and my dream has always been to get a motorcycle and just enjoy riding im starting a cashier job soon and i plan on saving up all my money my mom and dad are gonna help me with my insurance and half for the a ninja kawasaki but i dont know what one to get but this video helps thank you
