Great review and very nice bike. I just got 5,000 KMS (3100 miles) on my SE and it's been fantastic. It's super light, easy to flick around and fun to ride. Couple of upgrades i've done is: Quadlock wireless charger, tail tidy and Akra slip on. PS: If you shift in the 8,000 RPM range ( it's power band ) you'll basically unlock it's potential.
@@jamesgeorgevellavella1961 bone stock! Just a slip on exhaust. Self service on oil changes, chain cleaning, upgraded tires and regular riding. I’m now @ 9,500 miles.
@@phantasizeco I just added a slip on and got bigger tires for the front and rear. Went from 110 to 120 for the front and 150 to 160 in the rear. Wayyy more stable riding in a straight commuting on the highway 🛣️
@@GhadSpeed you liking the bigger tire setup how does it handle down backroads I feel it could slow the capability of being of table to throw the small bike around and what brand did you go with for tires something sticky or just an all season
As someone said below, the balls of your feet should be on the pegs, or you're going to have a bad time--like breaking your foot/ankle. Should probably fix this asap. Ride safe.
@@HD_VRODE for the most part when I ride it’s all day with a lot of stops probably 7-8 hours with around 2 hour legs and my back will hurt only a little after some times but usually adjusting riding posture and positioning makes it go away fairly quick
if this is nam, i was just at that spot this morning. surprised the hell out of me how nice it is up there. got to find out my max speed on my bike on that road. cheers!
@@WreckingPaul0513 the heat honestly doesn’t bother me too much I do get caught in traffic often and I haven’t many issues the fans usually come on around 215 degrees Fahrenheit and cool the bike very well abd I always have thick pants on
Loved that bike, had mine for about 12 days before I was riding at night with a buddy and hit a tree that was across the road, totaled the bike sadly. Just was about at 1100 miles, still recovering with a broken foot. Enjoy the bike man
I hope you get better soon and hopefully you are getting help with getting around. I've had a few big hits over the years and you'll be ok. (DON'T LET IT GET TO YOU. DO THE REHAB & I'll see you on the tarmac bro 👍💯)
Is anyone having a problem getting the bottom bolt for the clamp on the heat shield use a Phillips head but it never got lose kept trying and now the screw is almost stripped
@@not.for_her3226 just use a proper socket if you can your never supposed to use a crew driver it always damages those kinds of bolts worst case scenario use channel locks or something similar to grab the bolt
I bought the same bike, 1st time rider LOVE IT!!!! It's great for around town

@@Justins1877 how do you like the akra slip on I want something that is louder but has a nice tone and doesn’t drone a lot like the Leo Vince does
Ur p.s.....That so true. Thought I was the only one that noticed that. It's mofo'n awesomeness.....
This man could sell me a bike
Congrats man. I Just made it to 8,150 miles on mines in 4 months! Have the same exact model.
@@GhadSpeed definitely enjoying it so far, anything you changed or want to change?
That's awesome. Could I ask is she stock or what have you done so far to her. (2 years unlimited km warranty is reason why I don't touch)

I have mine SE model as a first bike and its so good. I want to wrap it and buy akrapovic slip on and thats probably it :D maybe dark plexi in front
2 000 kilometers in 1 and a half month on mine
@@manixes2019 at about 1300 miles now and also plan on doing the akrapovic headers and slip on

Off the line 500 wins and by the time the 400 would catch up race is finished
How is the ride on it? Do you ever feel back or knee pain during some longer rides?

@@PiotrSiejka-s2b I need to look into this thank you
Sir, how is the heat coming from the engine? Does it bother your knees especially in stop and go traffic and in full stops?
Thank you in advance!

Technically you're supposed to ride with the balls of your feet on ghe foot pegs sonthat might negate the foot dragging issue.
@@IjustWorkHere3 thank you for comment after riding further now at 3500 miles I’ve noticed this change has helped me tremendously thank you again 🫶🏻
CFMOTO 450SS is a much better bike than this. And don't even say that the Ninja 500 is a 500cc bike, because it's only a 451cc.
@@BootifulMoto-h2n I haven’t looked into the cfmoto but they look fun for sure
Aprilia rs457 is a nice one as well
The 500 is better
