Jealous man, I wish I had that luxury in Nebraska

Thank Jeff!!

Thank you! I’ve heard great things about double bubble windscreens

Thanks for the love! You will love the 400, it’s a great bike! I record with a Go Pro Hero 10! Spent a lot of time tweaking the settings where I like them. I need to do a video about my settings! Much love

@@RidingWithGav Thank you so much for replying Gav! I'd love to see a video with the settings you use! Would love to record my rides for my own entertainment! :D You've earned yourself a new sub!

Appreciate it ❤️ Absolutely! Let me know when you start recording rides and posting them, I’d enjoy watching those!

Much love 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

I’m good off all that, Robert. You realize these videos are opinionated? You realize the title is 5 Things I Love or Hate, heavy emphasis on the I part? You don’t agree with my reasons, cool. I could genuinely care less about yours and why you may or may not like something on a motorcycle as we all are entitled to opinions. However, what I won’t be doing is taking down a video all because you disagree with my clearly opinionated talking points. I won’t let that slide now or ever. Hey but thanks for your entitled opinion! It’s UA-cam. If you don’t like the video or this channel , go somewhere else? 😂 acting like you’re stuck watching me or something, lol.

WINNNNNNNDY

Funny enough. This is exactly how I learned to ride a motorcycle. Didn’t take a class. Didn’t have anyone show me or teach me. I used UA-cam when I wasn’t on the bike but that’s it. The best advice I can give you is once you are comfortable just going back and forth with gears, start doing figure 8s. This will allow you the opportunity to get comfortable turning then once you got that down, just go slow in the residentials. Another big tip with turning is ALWAYS look where you want to go. Sounds stupid but can be the difference between your bike staying on or off the road. My only close call was because I wasn’t paying attention in my turn and ended up in the grass.

What’s up Tyler! Appreciate it man! Thanks for being here and apart of the community

@@RidingWithGavthanks man! I’m looking to get a motorcycle and I’m like how you were with really no experiences other then regular bikes lol so I’m trying to find that right beginner one.

Plenty of good choices out there man! I love my 400, it’s a great bike to start on. After a year, I am ‘tired’ of its power. I would like a little more but now instead of the Ninja 400, they got the Ninja 500. That extra 100cc is nice. I think Honda makes a 4 or 500 but I love my Kawasaki man.

Take an MSF course to help you get licensed. It’ll also give you the opportunity to get on a motorcycle without having to pay for one!

@@RidingWithGav true I’ve been looking into some MSF courses nearby. It’s a couple day process right?

Reer, my dude! What’s up! Appreciate all the love. Isn’t it crazy? I feel like the 400 was somewhat short lived and really the 500 isn’t bringing much more to the table aside from the 100cc displacement difference. Oh well, I’ll hold onto my 4 as long as I can. Much love 😎

nah its the same bike just big bored... Everything except the exhaust should be interchangeable and I believe front fairings.

Dude hell yeah! What color did you end up getting? The 40th anniversary looks amazing

Deciding between 400-500 and still unsure about which to pick. Although im in UK and going to get a bike next year but I would love to know anything about 500 and how good it is compared to 400 without looking purely at specs.

Id also like to know! The 500 kind of came out of nowhere but people seem to love it. Maybe I can get a video comparing the two? 😎

@@RidingWithGav its just a big bored 400 essentially. Same engine, big bored for more mid range power. Well, not even essentially, it really is the exact same bike just big bored to 500cc

Do you know why Kawasaki ditched the 400 so quickly and went to the 5? Are other manufacturers making 500s or are they trying to compete with more 600? Which that wouldn’t even make much sense considering Kawasaki has the 636 and 650. Interesting.

Appreciate it man. They were definitely interesting, crazy really. Congrats on the Ninja. You’ll love it man. Have you rode before? Ride safe bro 🤙🏻

Always learning man, you know it Chuck 😎 We outsiiiiiiiiide!! 🤙🏻

Congrats bro! You located in Nebraska? I see you got 402 in your name, that is our area code! What color did you get? KRT looks great, it has definitely grown on me. Ride safe man.

Yes, here in lincoln, mine is white as well. I've put green short clutch/ brake levers on it, and I put shogun frame sliders on. It came with Aprokovic slip on.

Oh sick! We’ll have to find some time to meet up. I know a few others from the channel are either in Lincoln or close so even a little meet up and ride would be cool! Appreciate you being here bro

Yea, for sure, I started a channel, too. I'm not sure where I'm gonna go with it, yet it's more just for fun.

I’ll drop a subscribe now man. Excited to see some of your content!

They sell the race team green ones

On man… if they did I would be all over that 👀

But yes like CASU said, they got the KRT colors which is kinda grinch green 😂

My 23 krt was green but I destickered it so it's black and green now.

So is it the red that you removed? I bet it looks sick

Much love ❤️ thanks for reaching out dude. How are you holding up? My family and I are safe. We live on the eastern part of Lincoln so really didn’t get hit with much. However I know the interstate and parts of Waverley were hit hard. Thanks again fam

@@RidingWithGav we had to take shelter because one formed over COUNCIL BLUFFS but we’re safe and sound, thanks for asking. If you and yours need anything don’t hesitate to reach out

Thanks again for thinking of us 😎🤙🏻

@@RidingWithGav of course man anytime. I’m glad you guys are safe👍🏼👍🏼

That’s awesome man! Did you get the 40th anniversary fairings? I appreciate the kind words. I think you made a great choice

@@RidingWithGav yes I did! It’s very bright but I love it

Such a sick looking color scheme man! Congrats! 😎

Kermit, my man! How you been? Hopefully riding safe bro 😎 The R7 is a strong contender for my next bike. It’s between an R7 or 636. I have good friends that love the R7 in the city!

@@RidingWithGav 636 is great higher up in the rev range, but for useable power I like the R7

And for me, I don’t need that higher rev range. I mainly do all my riding within city limits and rarely get on the interstate/highway so the R7 makes sense!

@@RidingWithGav yep that’s exactly what I did

Totally down man! As long as you are cool not doing reckless shit lol, I’m always down to ride with others! I need to make an Instagram or something to help facilitate stuff like this. Let me get on that and I’ll come back to this comment where you can contact me!

@@RidingWithGav no for sure. I’m still in the works of getting a new bike. So no rush and no worries. And I’m not a reckless rider, I’ve seen way too many family members and friends wreck and or lose their lives

I didn’t think you would be and hope it didn’t come off that way man! I’d be down to meet up and cruise downtown. Got some decent restaurants we could check out too

@@RidingWithGav I’m down for it. When you find a way you’d like to communicate back and forth I’m down. Like I said previously though. I am still in the works of getting a new bike, so it might be a little while

I appreciate your comment man. This is exactly what I was hoping for this video! Congrats on taking that step away from your job and finding your passion. The 400 is a great bike and changed my life for the better, I’m sure it’ll do the same for you. Much love brother 🤙🏻❤️

Totally agree with your comment. I don’t care to race anyone or care to race anyone so being the absolute fastest on the street doesn’t matter for me!

I saw your other comment but downtown isn’t a bad spot to ride! Easy ride and fun during the weekend now that it’s nice.

To be honest man… not really. Downtown is fun to ride through though!

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Last season I had buyers remorse quite bad. I thought I made a really bad decision purchasing this bike but until I realized all the beginner mistakes I was making, I was okay. Because like you said, those mistakes on a bigger bike are not nearly as forgiving and could cause some serious problems both to me and the bike. You got the right mind set bro. I said it in a different video. Enjoy the process of learning and mastering motorcycles, no need to rush it! Much love, ride safe 🤙🏻

Hell yeah dude! Let me know what color you decide on.

Dude hell yeah! Congrats! What a cool colorway and bike. I hope to see a 500 in person soon, hopefully on the street. Ride safe 🤙🏻

I definitely relate to this. That first year is scary but you got it man. Take it slow and keep building your confidence up! The 500 is a great first bike! Hey is that an Si or Type R in your picture? I had a 10th Gen Si last year and miss that car everyday 🥺

Happy to have you back brother 🤙🏻 means a lot that you even looked for my channel in all your subscriptions 🥺 more content on the way!

Really not that bad if I’m being honest. I have a clean driving record but for being a 20 some year old male, it wasn’t awful!

I feel that man… hopefully you still have opportunities to get out and ride! Keep grinding, it’ll pay off 😎

I’ve stopped only wearing a t-shirt on all my rides. Value my skin too much, even while I am on the 400 lol.

Right! I’ve been eye balling a few 600s and I’m like damn we are over $10,000?!? This is actually going to be one of the things I love about the 400 in my next video! 😎

I think it’s a freeway bike for a few miles, then it gets sketchy lol. I definitely still enjoy jumping on and off the freeway.

Just sat on a 650 yesterday. Great bike man!

Just bought a 400! First bike.

You don’t wish for maybe just a little bit more power in those situations? Personally I’d feel safer with a little more power.

@@RidingWithGav I’m already going 75-80 on the highway. I don’t need to go 90-95 unless I absolutely need to pass by for safety reasons. I don’t see a huge gap in speed performance until about 95 anyways. Don’t think I need to make a move at that speed if I’m being proactive 😁

It is always good to be proactive! Ride safe brother 🤙🏻

@@RidingWithGav thanks homie. Appreciate your video and the love for the 400 🤘🏽

You won’t regret it bro, changed my life 😎

I’ve always been eye balling the ZX6R but man… that ZX4RR looks incredible. Jealous you’ve had the pleasure of riding that bike!

@@RidingWithGav My friend that has the 2023 zx4rr just bought a 2024 40th anniversary 636. 600s are great bikes; my first and only motorcycle has been an F4i. Definitely need to learn throttle discipline with them, but they are forgiving as well. About the only reason to ride a 1000 supersport is if you're looking to do over 150 mph easily. I'm currently looking for '07 Fireblade.

Couldn’t agree more. I think I’m stopping at 600 or 700cc. I don’t care to go over 150, value my life too much lol. A 600 would be nice especially on the interstate, that is where my 400 falls short. Keep riding safe homie 🤙🏻

Some perfectly said words right there brother 👆🏻 good reminder

Hell yeah dude! Kick some ass, you got it 😎🤙🏻 come back to this comment once you got your endorsement bro

I ride with mine on all the time to help with visibility, during the day especially. Too many times I hear ‘I couldn’t see you’ Well now you can see my bright ass lights shining at you lol.

​@@RidingWithGav Yeah I used to ride with a guy who said the same thing. Hated being in front of him getting blinded the whole time! 😂 What you were saying about social stigma, I get it all the time as a guy in my 30's rolling out on his 400. As a collector who owns 10 bikes at the moment, all sorts, bikes for nearly every occasion. While this one is labelled a "beginner" bike, if inexperienced people move on to bigger bikes and get over the novelty of extreme acceleration, it's a legit all rounder to come back to, settle on and enjoy forever. Just a good bike.

Thankfully I don’t group ride or really ever ride with others so I don’t feel bad for anyone 😅 trying to save my own life! I really think the social stigma thing is more of an ego related issue. People look down on the 400 class because it’s ’too slow’ and ‘will lose any race’. Any 400 rider has either heard it directly from someone else or got some dirty looks. But I completely agree, for the individuals that own this bike, we appreciate everything it offers. Much love man 😎🤙🏻

@@RidingWithGav I mean, they say all that, till you overtake them through the mountain roads 😅 If you're looking for some cheap upgrades to comfort/handling, throw a gsxr shock in the back and some cheap preload adjusters up front, for a very small amount of money, ya can't beat the result.

That seems like a great little bike! Best of luck!

It certainly feels like it some days lol

There's a way to angle the bike so your slightly drifting into the source of the wind with your body tucked. Wearing a motorcycle jacket also reduces wind friction. This way I can deal with all weather. If there's a wind that's gunna blow you off your bike then I wudnt be riding.

What’s up Jim! The KRT color way is pretty sick, definitely a good pick. Hope you are enjoying the weather!

You said it perfectly man. It’s one of the few things I’m willing to look past because this bike is so much fun to ride!

Mine has a full exhaust, velocity stacks, hi flow air filter and ECU tune and this bike hauls ass!. Have a bored over throttle body coming from Norton racing soon. Seen videos of these 400’s getting away from R1’s and H2’s on the track in the corner. To an experienced and confident rider on a track, these bikes stay in the lead. Btw, I love your white bike! They look so clean in white. Mine is an 2018 in the rare candy plasma blue.

Oh man I can only imagine how much fun the bikes is after mods like that. That’s awesome! That Plasma Blue is so clean. Much love and ride safe bro! 🤙🏻
