  • New to motorcycles?! 🏍️ This video is going to give you a handful of techniques to start developing on your own, even some before you own your first motorcycle! I bought my bike earlier this year and don't claim to know it all, but I'm hoping that what I have learned so far will be able to help you in your journey! Of course, there are many other things to learn and consider when starting out. What I am sharing are the most important ones I have dealt with so far! We all start somewhere, and there is nothing wrong with being a newbie!

    #3 Turning the head (and upper body) is the most important "technique". Particularly in the twisties. 🎉

    Hi there Melissa, Good on ya' for getting out there practicing and thinking about the physics part of riding. One tip I might give you is to always cover your clutch and brake. Thank you and safe travels young lady.

    Nice the Ninja is a great starter bike from what I hear. I am looking into the Ninja 650, which technically is a sport tourer, just because I live in a city and while the Ninja 400 is a nice bike, and a good starter entry to sport bikes, it's just too dangerous to be underpowered, but equally as dangerous to be overpowered with these absolute psychos on the roadways here.

    • @joyridemel
      @joyridemel  День тому +1

      @amanb8698 i will say my experience with the 400 has been good. I can acccerlate decently, but the 650 was too physically heavy for me to maneuver personally. Best of luck to you!! 🫶

      @@joyridemel Like I always worry because it can get scary in my city, very aggressive drivers, people that are very impatient and very competitive. Lots of road racers, and road raging. People driving way too fast. Then lots of dummies who will just change lanes without signaling or stopping, they just run through red lights, false stop at stop signs, and fly right through streets to catch lights, rear end you, slam on breaks, race to a light. The entitlement is insane lol

      @amanb8698 yes hwy all the time! I have not done it...but supposedly the ninja 400s top out around 125-130mph. Depending on what hwy Im usually doing 70-85mph most days commuting to work!
