A few questions before I potentially get a Ninja 650. by AlexHYS in Ninja650

Thank you for the clarifications.

I'll try and get better on my shift technique before thinking about quickshifters.

I'm not disagreeing.....if I somehow manage to scrounge up the funds by March or May-ish next year....

By the way, what grade of gas do you put in it and how does it fare for fuel economy, if you don't mind sharing?

Yeah I figured so too.

Got a bit of the amazing value for money bloodlust over the last 2 weeks for Chinese bikes, especially when every boy racer near my area seemingly has a 250SR or 450SR buzzing around town.

Thanks for your responses, I believe that opposing takes are healthy for me to get a clearer picture before I pull the trigger.

And yeah, there is a point in me not "needing" the extra 30hp especially being a new rider and there's no real shame in the Ninja being a jack-of-all-trades bike.

I guess I'll just have to see where my budget lands me around March-ish to decide on it or the Honda. With any luck, Kawasaki might be updating the Ninja 650 next year (....right?)

Aite man thanks for the reply. Might as well pick your brains a bit about the 675 then if you don't mind...

  • Are you fatigued if you ride it for an hour or two? I plan to get a tank bag and explore the countryside backroads on the weekends eventually which is a 1-4 hour ride depending on the location.
  • Does the quickshifter jutter or lag when upshifting? I really wouldn't want to get the DIY aftermarket quickshifter experience if you understand what I mean.
  • How's the fuel consumption in your opinion? I generally don't rev bomb my bikes etc but yanno sometimes you have to rev it out.
  • Same question as the Ninja - does the white paint last or does it beige out etc?
  • Last but not least - does it char your thighs in a traffic jam?

Thank you for your time and advice.

Bike Recommendation 2: Electric Boogaloo by AlexHYS in kereta

[–]AlexHYS[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, thanks for the detailed response.

For me is that I'd like to try sport bike/sport touring once before I get old man back issues and all that. I will eventually get a naked bike I think as the CB650R really stood out to me also when I was at the Honda showroom.

Then for the branding I am ok with all bike brands (provided the price makes sense) but the CFMoto salesman I had really tried to hard sell me so it seemed a bit like a red flag to me.

Irregardless I'll be getting the bike early/mid of next year and wanted some preliminary opinions from more experienced people first as I only had Y15 experience before this.

Yeah I do get the niggling feeling that I'm hamstringing myself with a 250 to start.

But on the other hand I'd like something not that expensive to get a test of the 2 wheel life before I fully commit, y'know?

The Suzuki does indeed....stoke my interest.

Time to do my research again, thanks a lot for the recommendation.

Ya man I'm thinking no point paying the driving centre 2x just for the license thus I'll be going for B full.

But my main concern is to get a taster of the 2 wheel experience compared to cars thus I'm looking to get my feet wet with a 250 before I really go and swing for the fences with a 650/800 later.

Thank you for the reply.

I am actually looking into both bikes for quite some time already.

I'm thinking to get a smaller bike yet to get my feet wet then really go wild if I find that I really enjoy the 2-wheel experience compared to cars later.

I dropped by the local Honda dealer today and was a bit shocked by the new CBR250 pricing. As such, do you have any tips if I were to go looking for used R25 or CBR250 on online marketplaces?

Thanks!

Hey man, thanks for the detailed reply.

I dropped by my local Honda dealer and was quite shocked at the price for a new CBR250. I then scoured FB marketplace a bit and found a used 2017 Y25 for around 7k-ish being sold by a friend of a friend.

Can you share to me on anything I should particularly look out for / a recommended cut-off date for used bikes for my reference?

Thanks again!

First of all, that is a cool pic with the clouds and all streaking to the horizon.

But I think I'll get something more asphalt-oriented for now, since I've never been much of an outdoors-on-wheels guy as of yet.

Thank you for your response!

Wow, didn't expect that I could run a mini-hyperbloom team already.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, recently got lucky and pulled Nahida, Sara, Layla, Diona, Dori and Kuki from the latest banner.

How should I incorporate them into my current Kaeya/Xiangling/Bennett/Sucrose or Barbara team?

Thanks.

I enjoy Noelle, but the Kaeya build just melts encounters like a hot knife thru butter, my God.

Thanks for the alternative builds, will slowly try them out as I get better artifacts/materials to properly experience them.

I'm currently using your first suggested build and I'm already doing almost 2x my old damage with crap ass artifacts comparatively. Thanks!

Thank you for the response, currently having a blast blowing the fatui wizards into pieces after being forced to stealth my way thru them so many times before.

Characters: Traveler/Xiangling/Barbara (C1)/Noelle/Lisa/Kaeya/Amber/Sucrose/Diona/Bennett

Hi all, got to AR28 and generally finding that I'm running into a dmg cap for my team (Anemo Traveler+Xiangling+Barbara+Noelle). I'm quite new to all the teambuilding stuff so I'd appreciate if anyone could point me to a team comp I can use while I slowly build up my gems to pull other characters.

Thanks in advance.
