leaving alot on the table can start higher rpm and shift bit later can squeeze 4 out of it easily

I used to own a ninja 300 around 6 years ago...now I'm torn between the 650 and the 500 se , price is almost the same and I already have some experience, going to the 500 feels like going to the same bike I used to have, but since I have a bit more experience despite not being riding for a few years..Would the 650 be a good choice over the 500?

just order some off cycle gear for my Honda NC700X; installed yesterday; felt good; waiting for the weekend for a nice PCH ride: paid under 200 for them and about 120 to install them at my local Del Ammo dealer; i ride about 14 miles daily so I wanted some inexpensive tires to try out; could not justify the $250 to $280 per tire this time around; but I intend to get better tires next time should these tires give me less than expected performance or low lifespan. thank you for the video....

Post purchase: Be ready and willing to replace all fluids, break pads, chain, sprockets, spark plug, tires (tubes), and battery. Check fork oil

Jeeps also fly around the corner. I almost got hit head on in Anza Berago Jeep Trail

Love the sound of that thumper mixed with the riders excitement

Great video!!! I am thinking of getting a 2024 ninja 650 for highway commuting (75 to 85mph) for at least an hour. So, according to the vid, this 650 can do that, right? I never had a 650cc bike before. Someone please let me know...

I have driven one but I would never drive one in a state that required a helmet. It seems so ridiculous. Edit: I rented one in Vegas. I was on a bridge that had seams. Was going about 70 and almost hit the wall because the thing caught a little air on the drive tire. I would rather have a Shelby Cobra or a Caterham.

3 things Don’t Buy One

Currently own a 22 klr and looking for something smaller lighter and easier to ride to add to the stable. Considering a 500 and 650, any thoughts? Also how is the power and torque compared to the klr? I know they’re totally different bikes but That’s all I have to compare anything to as the klr is my first and only bike

I'll bet those are "fun" if you come across an alligator meandering across the road!

Look at you physically; you don't appear to know much about excitement; except from a fat girl

For the same price you can get a convertible corvette or mustang that's faster and has heat, a/c, and a roof if you get stuck in the rain.

It does a 14 second quarter mile and a 5 sec to 60. Thats slow af. Everyday vehicles are faster than that.

I drove two of these and they’re a joke

Indian dealer in Daytona you can buy them for half that price all day,

Do MMT next.

The first thing you should know is that if you purchase a Slingshot that you are personal finance moron. The next thing you'll find out if is it not a car and not a motorcycle so the only people that will hang out with you are other financially illiterate morons that also bought a Polaris Slingshot.

Did you just compare a Slingshot to an F1 car??? Wow!

I have Dunlap road smart 3 for my kawasaki concours 14 and they are awesome, I get 7 to 10k miles out-of them and I have taken the bike on the track and were great, I getbthem cheap, curious about the kenda km1

Maybe it's difficult for you ..

haven't you heard of the university youtube! they teach you everything! LOL!

timing belt shouldn't even make your list, because if that was a issue, than yo could put cars into that mix! just got to know what that manufacture says about changing your timing belt every so many miles! plus I check the prices on tires! no where the price you quoted on $600.00 bills! $200.00 in change tops?

This could have been a 2 min video

That wise man who you mentioned...could it be Jeremy Clarkson?

How can it get out of time? If it uses a timing belt it should be replaced at regular intervals. If it has timing gears ⚙️ or chain ⛓️ it should last the life of the bike.

Retread rider here sharing with you that my old GL choice was/is a 1998 Gold Wing Valkyrie. In so many ways it's the "naked" version or the fulfillment of the M-1 Gold Wing prototype. And like the O.G. GL1000 series, it has virtually none of the features and standard equipment that came with it's stable mate, the GL1500; no cruise; no ABS/LBS; no self canceling or 4-way flashers; no reverse (except export to Japan model!?) Heck, the Valkyrie doesn't even come equipped with a center stand! Another important feature of the Valkyrie GL-series, that distinguishes it from the Gold Wing, is that it didn't have all that plastic bodywork! When it comes to a turn-key riding & ownership experience, the Gold Wing is in a class all by itself. Enjoyed your video and thanks for posting it.

Started on a r3 and just moved up to a ninja 650. It's amazing! And so much more powerful than the r3 yet still almost as flickable. Super fun bike!

What gear did you end up in? 2nd?

How does the change in the windshield angle affect fuel efficiency?

Just bought a new 23!

i find these 80s goldwings far easier than harleys having had a few myself and just this year getting into my first gl1200

It appears that your a bigger / taller guy. I am 6"03" - 275 lbs. Do you think the Kawy Ninja 650 will be enough for a bigger guy? I am not looking for a speed demon, but it needs to get up and go.

All right, I'll bite.... (Subbed) I've owned both a 2006 and a 2008 (Current KLR) and my #1 is improved front brakes. The Gen 1 brakes are downright scary, and the Gen 2's are improved but can still use some improvement. My #1 is a 320mm rotor, new stainless brake lines and HH Pads (DP Brakes are my fav). My #2, and will wake any KLR right up, is carb mods. The $0.22 cent mod is super cheap and helps a lot. The full blown KLX Needle and rejet works the best but it's more expensive. My #3 would be a tie between an improved skid plate or foot pegs. Good footpegs on Amazon are around $40 bucks to your door. They are quite as nice as yours but they work well. Skid plates are quite a bit more than that. Honorable mentions include the doohickey change on gen 1's (Im undecided on gen 2's) and Thermo-Bob (Or copies) installation.

H ell yeah brother [neutron bomb]

I bought a 1980 naked wing with 25k miles on Good Friday 2023. It had been parked up in a garagefor a very long time. No problem, im a mechanic and have restored several vintage motorcycles in the last 25 years, including a 78 Wing. The previous owner of the 80 had traded it in, as-is for something brand new at a Kawasaki dealership. Thats where i bought it from. They had installed a new battery and new tires and brakes, but didn't get it running. It looked all clean and complete so i bought it for a reasonable price because they wanted it gone. They told me the carbs were likely gummed up. NOPE! Carbs had been drained and were pretty clean. However they were way out of sync, and the valves were out of adjustment limits. Also had one bad coil and very chopped up wiring harness ( why, just why do people eff up the wiring !?) I've sorted out all the wiring, installed new timing belts and tensioner pulleys, changed fluids and filters, adjusted everything,etc. The engine is actually quite healthy and sounds really good. The forks are not holding air now and its not safe to ride once all the air leaks out in 20 minutes. I'm eliminating the air assist and installing progressive springs asap. It turns out there was a lot more wrong with the bike than appearance indicated. So after saying all this, i recommend NOT buying an old Wing unless it's currently in good running condition, or do you actually want a bunch of time consuming work?

I just bought mine on April 23, 2024. I am looking forward to the trails!!!

I wish mine was like that

buy a naked like my 1100 standard, maintainence is easy, no fairings or saddlebags to be removed

I have an 86. It is reliable as heck. Have to ride or start it every other week to keeps the idle jets clear and clean. Everything is well designed. Made in America. Have done all the service on everything myself. Almost consider it a hobby so time doesn't matter. Cruises at 70 all day long. It will dust 95% of modern motorcycles.

Excellent video! I am going to pick up a 1986 Aspencade this weekend. I plan to use it for my daily commute, which is about 40 miles each way & goes through the Occonee National Forest. I may do a video on it if anyone is interested...

but the best part about those bikes it saves your arms shoulder and back and neck

I absolutely love my 1250GSA. See y’all in Redmond and Sturgis.

I haven't been on a bike in over 20 years, this is the bike I'm looking at getting. Under 9k for a 24

Currently a learner waiting till I'm 24 so I can get a full licence to get one of these things

Oh man, I would love a better look at the stereo setup on yours- looks super clean and something I’ve been wanting to do. Just bought mine a few weeks ago. Guy was the original owner since ‘86! It is CLEAN! I’m stoked

I found my diamond in the ruff this last weekend. It was a customer of mine hes unfortunately getting too old to ride. He has also kept meticulous records and I've gotten to know him over the years. He sold me a 95 goldwing for only $1200. I felt really bad paying that i tried SO HARD to pay more but he just wanted to know that it was going somewhere it was going to be taken care of. I have to get front a rear tire as they r dry rotten, oil change, tune up little stuff. But this bike looks like he drove it off the lot yesterday! I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!!!

You never said what year bike it is

Whoa so it’s not just my horn on the klr .. I think I hat should be an upgrade mentioned as well bc the horn on the bike is not very audible in comparison to others.

Does it make a good monstrous sound??coz it looks kind of tame and silent
