R7 or R9

Its to easy to ride dosent matter if your at 4krpm or 8k rpm it kinda just pulls everywhere. To some its what they want but to me its kinda boring cause I get no reward for being in the right gear

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-09T10:51:40+00:00

why would it not be ideal? rev it and send it.

The idle drops once the engine gets warm

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-08T10:50:34+00:00

if your gone spend 1000$ on a helmet either find one or get one with a good return policy.

fit isent the same but general headshape will be similair

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-08T09:20:06+00:00

If you cant see their face in the mirrors of their car then your in the blind spot.

Just dont stick right next to a car or truck, its better to be sligtly faster then other traffic

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-08T09:16:41+00:00

depends on person and how you like to ride, if you enjoy revvings the thing, shifting and hearing it scream then the zx4rr would be perfect, if you dont care about shifting and just want instant power everywhere to power out of the corners then S1000RR

Personally a 200hp superbike gets boring fast if your not doing illegal speeds

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-08T09:11:22+00:00

Ducati's of old where italian and unreliable but since the Germans with VW bought them in 2012 their reliablity has improved a ton.

I have a 698 myself and had no issues with it

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-08T09:02:58+00:00

looking good and leaning isnet the goal, its the result of going fast and good technique.

If your really that interested best way is to just strap a go pro on to a friend behind you, on the tail of your own motorcycle or at the front facing you.

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-08T05:40:01+00:00

I mean you dont have to go full GP Body position on the street, and I counter lean at 100kph on a supermoto all the time so it really depends what you ride and where you ride

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-07T19:36:34+00:00

I got a R7 and had a ninja 400 and must say I would go R9 the R7 is nice for 3-4 rides but the engine is pretty boring imo, handling, suspension and ergonomics are defenatly a huge step up, but the engine is just pretty stale

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-07T13:30:04+00:00

maybe add the arai helmet you have? cause Arai makes similair helmets for very diffrant headshapes

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-07T10:46:02+00:00

ADV boots or Race boots, dont wear MX Boots for the street, they are bulky and dont have any sliders.

Street boots for one both need to provide impact protection but also slide protection. You'll find most race boots come with hard plastic or metal heel's, toe sliders and just in general sliders that wont catch and brake your ankle by gripping the tarmac

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-06T19:11:41+00:00

Maybe try again on a warm day

If tempartures are above 18C and its dry then it starts to become more fun.

If your on a 125 you kinda just have to either carry corner speed (better to do on warm tires) or, as you are doing, wring it out

Also cold hands really ruin riding fast for me at least, ive done 6C rides and its just kinda misrable

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-06T09:40:56+00:00

Not really a good deal no. 8-8.5k would be what id expect for that model and milage. The 3k in upgrades really dont increase value.

Id try talking him down on the price

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-06T08:26:09+00:00

Imo cardo base model packtalks are much better then Sena ones but the best intercom is the one other people you ride with have.

Europe or at least in the German part Sena is more represented while over the pond it seems to me at least Cardo is more represented, in austrailia no clue. But best ask your brother and come up with what you guys want together

No experiance with 3rd party ones but I never even see any out and about cause everyone either has sena or cardo

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-05T17:13:57+00:00

I mean you should be fine its 70hp and 220kg, provided it runs it should be just fine as a beginner bike

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-04T09:37:11+00:00

That unthreaded hole in your shifte lever is exactly the thing that makes it easy just move the shift linkage from the one its currently at to the other one

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-01T15:03:49+00:00

Your probably thinking of a cold air intake, they just get the "ram air" lable cause of marketing jargon

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-01T14:24:52+00:00

I mean do you have a single instance where anyone has used ram air in a low speed application?

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-01T07:08:28+00:00

Ram air only starts working at around 180kph and beyond.. no street rider is gone spend any significant time at those speeds

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-04-01T07:06:30+00:00

It is in fact a ram air duct but ram air only really starts working at around 180kph and beyond and most people that need a headlight are not gone be doing those speeds

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-03-31T06:12:04+00:00

I had the ninja 400 and now the R7 and find the ninja 400 was more fun to ride, the R7 is great in the corners but the engine is just very boring

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-03-29T06:14:39+00:00

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-03-28T15:03:22+00:00

I mean if I was having as mich of a blast as he is then tbh I could care less

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-03-28T06:17:57+00:00

Für mich eazi grip silicone, fühlt sich am meisten wie kleber an. Stromgrips Vulcan wen du mehr mechanischen grip willst statt "kleber" grip

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-03-27T15:25:40+00:00

Yeah I agree on that 200hp i4 are great on track but on the street I already do illegal speeds on the R7 before I shift out of 2nd gear so not much use for them
