(Using my bf yt account lol) I bought an R7 and I’m 5’3 and it was honestly really difficult to learn since it was hard to keep balance with feet down and I decided to lower the bike and it became sooo much easier and better to learn IMO. I agree R7 is a good beginner bike but especially because I know myself and I know my limits and plan to keep this long term instead of buying a 400 and getting bored or outgrowing it in a few months.
I’ve been looking into the R7 for its low-end torque and how i plan to use it around the city, i want that easily accessible power to avoid sketchy situations in traffic
US problems - Is this midweight or 1250cc bike a good beginners bike? The rest of the world - You have to start off with a 125cc or similar, can't have above 600cc until you're 23(21 if you've had a beginners license from 19)
My dad rides a fireblade and has been riding for over 20 years and he thinks(as well as I) that I should get a bigger bike than a 300cc for my first bike because I’m 6’4 and I just feel and look uncomfortable and stupid on smaller bikes like the ninja 400 and r3. Do you think the r7 would be a good first bike for someone of my height? I know the seat height is taller which I personally like but I still haven’t sat on one yet. I would love to know your thoughts if u can man❤️
I would absolutely not recommend a complete beginner to get an R7 as their first bike. I currently ride an R7, but I started on an R125 and man I’m glad I did. making all your newb ass mistakes on a forgiving baby bike vs a 700cc is the difference between a “whoops that was close” and “I had to lay ‘er down” or ending up around the nearest tree. when you’re learning to ride for the very first time, getting the muscle memory down, paying attention to what all of your limbs are doing, managing shifting, braking, throttle, indicators, body position, plus looking at the traffic, road conditions, all that, even trivial things like getting used to wearing a helmet, etc. you don’t really want to divide your attention even further by also managing the power of a twitchy 700cc bike where you’re one twist away from fucking up with substantial consequences. you want a learner bike that won’t punish your inevitable newb mistakes, one that will ease you into getting used to riding a bike in general, one that even if you mess up on, you won’t hurt yourself or crash the bike. then, when you feel like you could handle more power, go and upgrade to a bigger one. starting on a smaller one also means you can push your newb rider limits a lot more without the bike just retaliating for any fuckup, and this is how you learn to ride well. when I first sat on my R7, I almost shit myself how torque-y it feels vs the R125. I definitely wouldn’t have wanted to manage this amount of power when still learning and actively paying attention to what all my body parts are supposed to do. do yourself a favor, get the basics down on a smaller bike, then, when riding feels more automatic than manual, upgrade to a bigger one. by that time, you won’t have to actively pay attention to anything else when managing its power, so getting used to it will be a lot safer than if you had started on it and had to divide your attention 20 ways. yeah big bikes are cool and all, but riding has a very definite learning curve, and taking unnecessary risks by cutting corners with an already inherently dangerous activity isn’t exactly wise.
Okay, so I listened to all you said Zenny but I have some questions. I'm 5ft, a girl, no bike (including regular a bicycle since 5yo) or car experience and I'm 20💀I really wanna have a bike, so is a Kawasaki ninja 400, Suzuki GXS250R or Honda cbr250 a good pick? Also, I want a relatively cool looking bike so yeah, PLZ HELP!!!😪
Instructions Unclear, Bought a 400 and wrecked it to commit insurance fraud
$ is $😈

What about an R3?
That’s a good one too
You were talking about your height and being able to flat foot it. What is your inseam exactly, if you don't mind me asking?
Should I go for an r7 or ninja 400?
This man
Got it, going for the H2r for first bike 👍
depends u have self control if not go for 400
I know it's not as popular, but I'm getting the MT-07. What are you thoughts on that one?
I’m looking at the Honda 300 or 400 to start

You should drive a car for a few years to get used to how traffic operates before riding a bike tbh
School taught
you always carry the 1 so you are 6 ft
Exactly!!
first!
second?!
