Appreciate that. I think so too. There are a few other things I got to do for it but nothing I can’t do myself. Just waiting on a day off. I’m very attentive to the chain as well as oil changes. I would love to see this bike with 100k
Damn bro 15,000 miles! I have a 24’ Ninja 500. Bought it this past April 07 brand new, fast forward today July 23rd I put on 7,000 miles! I service my own oil and clean my chain every 500 miles if anything every weekend lol
greetings from California. I like putting your videos on in the back ground and listen to it while doing stuff. I'll be joining the Ninja 650 family in a couple days. Looking forward to it
@@prolificseeker4778 The bikes been great! Feels really good. Took it around town couple times and I love it. Considering I have little experience its been great to learn on. The little mechanism built in so that the bike goes into Neutral every time super easy at a stop is amazing. Spoiled me lol
I do the same with @CityNinja650 videos! And grats on the purchase!! I am planning on getting one as well, but probably going to be patient and wait until next year, so that I can pay off a few credit cards first.
Been a very warm summer so far. Riding in the mornings is much more forgiving from the intense heat of afternoon. Congratulations on 15,000 miles experience. Nice riding.
Good morning! I have a 2024 Ninja 650 and I live in Florida! The heat does suck at stop lights but if feels so good in the wind riding by the beach! I hit 1,000 miles on my bike recently so I’ll do a 1k review video soon. Love your content and I’m going to try to start posting more motovlogs. We’ve been mostly just posting entertaining shorts. My wife rides a Honda CBR500R. We love how upright these bikes sit and we ride for around 2-4 hours each time we go out. Ride safe City Ninja!!
Waiting for your video fyi😂 im thinking to buy a ninja650 so watching and reading everything about it i can find on the internet nowadays. Most reviews are pretty positive. But some people say it doesnt have upside down fork suspension on front idk if it matters for a casual rider like me
@@zoomzoomcat The fork thing made me think also but I haven’t noticed any issues and cant tell the difference in feel from my wife’s CBR500R which has its suspension opposite to my 650. Maybe it matters for track riding but no issues so far.
Idk how you guys down there do it. I mean we been getting very hot and humid temps up here for a good bit of years now but I couldn’t do it every single day lol. Looking forward to the vlogs dude. I love seeing anything about the ninja. Ride safe as well. Congratulations on the 1k miles. They grow up so fast lol
earned a sub by not being a squid. you are spot on the money for me the biggest thing is showing how to approach corners properly setting yourself up for the most safe form of ride for the conditions
Thank you for the sub. Yea I’m a huge advocate for gear. I mean it sucks in the extreme heat that’s for sure but the aftermath of a crash with no gear is much worse than being hot.
most level-headed biker in the whole youtube lol. Kudos for thinking hard about the value of things and being conservative, sweet bike too, I'm really considering it as my starter :)
I appreciate that. Definitely try to be myself and nothing more. This was my first bike. (Not sure if I said that or not in this video) it has been such a pleasure. Every mile. I’m about to hit 20k miles. Wasn’t sure if I was going to do a video but everyone in the poll said to do it. So I guess ima do it.
Going to get a 2025 ninja 650 abs. Can't wait. Be my first bike. Taking my permit test in a week. Then I got my motorcycle safety course next month. As a reward I'm going to buy a new bike.
I got a 2014 ninja 1000. Bought used for $6800 with 20k miles and all the mods I wanted. To me it was a perfect purchase. It definitely is more power than I need but I love the low to mid range torque. I’ve still been thinking about getting a 2nd bike and the ninja 650 & 400 have been on my mind. Watching your videos makes me think go for the 650.
I ended up getting the 500 but for you I REALLY recommend the 650. You have ridden litre bikes so the 400/451 will be far too underpowered for your needs
Awesome video man ride safe I have about 9000 on my 23 ninja 650. I've only added the full exhaust, frame sliders, diaper delete and a dash camera to cover my butt.
Matt is watching! lol and yeah I was dead serious about helping, and also serious about not needing paid haha Just hit me up man and I’ll be more than happy to help!
Hey Matthew! Great video. I recently upgraded my T32s to the Road 6s and I can confidently say they are the best tires I've ever had. They increased my confidence in cornering significantly and they are supposed to be tops in the wet.. They do cost a bit more but I believe they're worth it. Plus they are supposed to go at least 10K miles provided one keeps them properly inflated. I run 36/42 front/rear. Also, have you been maintaining your chain? It might be time to replace that as well. My dealer tells me that 15K is about the typical life of a properly cleaned/lubricated/tensioned chain. Also, check your sprockets for wear; most people change these with a new chain too. Steve from S. Oregon.
Thank you for that. Yea I do want the road6. Especially if they get that kinda mileage. I do have a new chain on. Last winter the salt completely destroyed it lol. I think I was around 11k when I got it replaced.
I still have mine in the shop for almost a week now for the 12000km/7600miles periodic maintenance. It is announced to be done on monday. I don't know what takes them so long, perhaps low on staff.
To give you a heads up: I picked her up today after a week. The shop told me that they hat some unexpected reporting sick mechanics. Especially those who can perform a vacuum synchronization. I paid 413 Euros and 29 for the rental bike. They only charged me one day instead of 7.
Torn between the 25 650l KRT or another 40th anniversary 500. After watching numerous videos im leaning towards the 650 because it's also the biggest legal bike I can ride for the next 3 years
Hey man thanks for the video now I’ve narrowed down my options to ninja 500 se abs for 6400$ or ninja 650 for 8200 but no abs I wouldn’t get one if it did bc its 8900 what should I get
@@rileylofin7653 I wouldn’t go with the more expensive 650 either. Some might argue that it’s important to have abs for a new rider but I don’t think it’s a make or break. As far as which one to get also keep in mind Insurance if money is a major concern. Me personally I’m keeping my 650 for life. I love the bike but a lot of people sell them to upgrade after a while. Resale value and overall resell ability is something to consider as well. Like you can sell a 650 to a beginner, intermediate and advanced rider. Can’t really do that with a 400. Only new riders and people wanting a track bike will go for them. Idk if the 500 would be the same or not. Honestly (personally)between the 500 and 650 I would go with the 650. After all this time in the bike I’m not bored. I do want more power sometimes but that’s just me being greedy. I feel with a 400 or 500 I would feel that a lot more. Also consider where you live. I live close to Pittsburgh and have all kinds of riding situations. City, highway, interstate, farm roads. For the interstate I wouldn’t wanna be on anything less then a 650. And that’s extensive time on it too. Not just getting on and off. I do long trips where I’m on it for 5 hrs and I definitely wouldn’t wanna do that for long. If did a video about buying a first bike where I bring a lot of this stuff up. Might be of some value to you. Let me know if you need any more info
@@CityNinja650 I don’t need more info that’s great information thank you I live in Mississippi where we have highways city abs interstates some 55 mph. Rides abs country roads I will probably get the ninja 650 thanks did the help
It’s my first bike in my life. I love it dearly. Best $6,000 I’ve ever spent bro. Only con about the bike is that it is light as hell. I took the stock exhaust off and put a slip on on it. The weight is only 365lbs lol and I tell ya on windy days it’ll definitely teach ya how to ride with the wind. I’m glad I found your video cause im definitely considering a 650 it seems more comfy and torquey. I’m tryna do a trip on my 500 from NC to ATL.
@@GhadSpeed that’s a cool trip right there. You got luggage. I wanna get some set up but never was able too. And I agree. This was the best money I spent as well. It’s getting expensive with tires and all the more frequent maintenance but I don’t mind. I’m planning on going to Shanandoah national park in the fall. I wanna run that while Skyline Highway. Honestly the 650 is light too. All that surface are and high winds knock it around lol. Make you pucker up sometimes lol. It does do very well in the rain with good tires.
I do like how they look. Idk if they still make a z1000 but that thing looked absolutely insane. If the insurance isn’t ridiculous it’s on the table of possibilities
@CityNinja650 - Z1000 was discontinued in 2023. And I agree, they are awesome looking. After sitting on the Z1000 and it's rock hard seat and owning the Z900, I'll take the Z900 every day. The performance is close enough, and for me, the insurance was a bit cheaper (buy that is so person specific, that doesn't mean much). It depends on how you use your bike, of course. The Versys is way more comfy than either Z. It was just too tall for me, even the 650 is up there, lol.
It would just be a color thing. I’m pretty sure the 2023 was the first year with the new TFT display (which was the big change in design) so the bikes probably won’t change anything till like 2030 lol. I’d definitely take that discount. You can always wrap it if you get a bad color
@@CityNinja650 the color that I want is the same as yours and it’s like destiny because the dealership only has the 2023 white and they dont offer 2024 yet. I was just afraid that I’ll miss out on some features because it will be my first bike coming from an automatic scooter. I plan to keep it for a long period
I live in south dakota. This is like twisty nation. The only thing that bugs me is sometimes I don't want to ride fast. But im 51. Just be. Goes you have a sports bike. Does it mean you have to run a 150 mph. Ya know. I just love this bike.
Honestly I don’t know the answer to that. Most miles I seen on these bikes is maybe 40 or 50k. And that’s only because people trade them in. I wanna make it a personal goal to get 100k.
greetings from the Philippines...i have the same bike,same color and also 10+miles on my odo...just wanna ask sir if you're experiencing any vibrations on your bike..coz mine vibrate so much when im riding my bike in lower rpms but when i ride it on a higher rpms i dont feel any of it...i asked about it from the dealership and they told me its normal...but i told them that when i first got it as in brandnew there's no vibration at all even i ride it slower...i was wondering if its bcoz of the oil..bcoz when i had a change oil i also change the brand that im using before..any tips sir...ride safe sir and God bless...😊😊😊
@@ragadventures congratulations on the bike. Yea mine does vibrate a lot as well. Mine seems kinda reversed as yours tho. I feel more vibration at higher rpm. Did you happen to change gloves or anything? I noticed with my new gloves I feel a lot more vibration. The other ones were thick winter gloves so it’s probably why I didn’t feel it to much. However now I do like I said. I do feel a little in my feet as well. Good boots help a lot with the vibration. The 650 is a parallel twin and they do naturally vibrate. Oil shouldn’t matter. As long as it’s the right kind. Brand shouldn’t matter tho. I run a different oil in mine as well.
@@okami_linux_gaming what’s up. I’m usually at 55+ average. Fluxes between highway and regular roads but that’s mostly where I’m at. Sometimes if I’m just chillin it’s closer to 65 70. (93 octane)
@@CityNinja650 55 is fine by me, i'm looking forward to ninja 650 or yamaha mt07 which im riding on my A category bike lessons, but i've heard a lot of very good opininions on ninja :) and i think i will get it, it's more expensive than yamaha but i love the look of ninja and traction control, abs and other nice things
@@okami_linux_gaming definitely a good bike. And with those options you just mentioned definitely makes it an approachable option. Going back in time I would get the same bike.
@@CityNinja650 tell me one more thing, i was checking another review, and guy said that from 5000 rpm vibrations are getting higher from that point, how it's for you?
@@okami_linux_gaming the bike does vibrate and higher rpm’s does make it more noticeable. That’s just because it’s a parallel twin. I would say however if you’re wearing the right gloves like you should be it’s very hard to notice. Only time it bothers me is when I’m doing a roadtrip and in the bike for 6+hrs straight.
Just get you a scooter for winter and dashing, better on gas and less wear and tear on your Ninja. Scooters dont mind being abused too, they take a beating and GY6 parts are super cheap.
That’s honestly a good idea. Since this video I have a new plan on getting the car legal. But, if I can’t that is definitely an option to consider. I’m sure I could find something on marketplace. Hopefully reasonable. I don’t know to much about them tho. Any recommendations?
@CityNinja650 just search Gy6 or 150cc, they can keep up in city traffic plus easily moddable, tons of aftermarket parts and cheap. They top out at about 50/55mph but with some decent modifications can hit 70mph.
@planetphatness thank you for the info. Ima do some digging. It’s definitely an option I’m willing to consider. Honestly that’s enough power and speed I would need. Since it’s winter I’d only be going to work. Most of which is back roads
Guys, I know a 650 sounds cool and fast and you think it'll sound good but this man is lying to himself... 650s are wayyy too slow.. do yourself a favor and if its your first bike get a 600 and if you're looking for an upgrade and you're comfortable already, get a 1000 and quit being scared... this coming from a guy whos first bike was a ninja 650.
Big respect for using your bike to the fullest. 15,000 is a great milestone. With regular maintenance, you could easily pass 100,000 on this bike.
Appreciate that. I think so too. There are a few other things I got to do for it but nothing I can’t do myself. Just waiting on a day off. I’m very attentive to the chain as well as oil changes.
I would love to see this bike with 100k

So I can get a 2025 Ninja 650 for $8,889 but can’t find a 2022 iron 883 with less than 15k under $8k 😭😭😭this is ridiculous 😂
@@bitsandbins3023 that’s one of many problems HD is having.
hi, and what mpg are you getting on that ninja 650?
@@okami_linux_gaming what’s up. I’m usually at 55+ average. Fluxes between highway and regular roads but that’s mostly where I’m at. Sometimes if I’m just chillin it’s closer to 65 70. (93 octane)
@@CityNinja650 55 is fine by me, i'm looking forward to ninja 650 or yamaha mt07 which im riding on my A category bike lessons, but i've heard a lot of very good opininions on ninja :) and i think i will get it, it's more expensive than yamaha but i love the look of ninja and traction control, abs and other nice things
@@okami_linux_gaming definitely a good bike. And with those options you just mentioned definitely makes it an approachable option. Going back in time I would get the same bike.
@@CityNinja650 tell me one more thing, i was checking another review, and guy said that from 5000 rpm vibrations are getting higher from that point, how it's for you?
@@okami_linux_gaming the bike does vibrate and higher rpm’s does make it more noticeable. That’s just because it’s a parallel twin. I would say however if you’re wearing the right gloves like you should be it’s very hard to notice.
Only time it bothers me is when I’m doing a roadtrip and in the bike for 6+hrs straight.
Just get you a scooter for winter and dashing, better on gas and less wear and tear on your Ninja. Scooters dont mind being abused too, they take a beating and GY6 parts are super cheap.
That’s honestly a good idea. Since this video I have a new plan on getting the car legal. But, if I can’t that is definitely an option to consider. I’m sure I could find something on marketplace. Hopefully reasonable. I don’t know to much about them tho. Any recommendations?
@CityNinja650 just search Gy6 or 150cc, they can keep up in city traffic plus easily moddable, tons of aftermarket parts and cheap. They top out at about 50/55mph but with some decent modifications can hit 70mph.
@planetphatness thank you for the info. Ima do some digging. It’s definitely an option I’m willing to consider. Honestly that’s enough power and speed I would need. Since it’s winter I’d only be going to work. Most of which is back roads
@CityNinja650 i got a 24 ninja 650 too, it's an awesome bike, you made a good point about the exhaust, paying $1000 just to have it louder lol
I just don't like the big exsosft 14:47
You would be lucky to get 3k miles outta those tires, even under normal riding wear. They're like marshmallow wheels.
Smaller is better, not so much for the sound
The point of getting a loud exhaust system is so the motorists can hear you, because people don't always pay attention.
bro please buy brake🤣
@@alirezam3653 lol they are on now and feels great
Guys, I know a 650 sounds cool and fast and you think it'll sound good but this man is lying to himself... 650s are wayyy too slow.. do yourself a favor and if its your first bike get a 600 and if you're looking for an upgrade and you're comfortable already, get a 1000 and quit being scared... this coming from a guy whos first bike was a ninja 650.
@@S1k18 yea not everyone has money to cover the insurance for those bikes either. I’m not interested in a 600 because I ride my bike for hrs
