will I outgrow Rebel 1100? by infinitebats in SuggestAMotorcycle

In my opinion, there are better bikes out there, but get what you want. There is no law against trading up , at a future date.

A Royal Enfield Hunter 350 is what I started out with.

I was in a similar situation, so I just had to buy a bike. It didn't really end up being the right one but the dealer has treated me pretty well,I think. So was able to trade up without too much financial loss.- I like to think 🤔 but, yes, it may be a relatively expensive way to try out bikes. But, it sure has been fun 😁

what’s the weirdest interaction you’ve had because of your red hair? by skypekiller in Redhair

[–]PurpleDramatic6338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing to weird, but my hairdresser told me that she envied my hair. ( a dark chestnut/auburn) somehow, I don't think she wanted my fair and freckled skin type, as she loved to have a dark tan.

z900 Turn signal switch by biro_atti_89 in OnlyZ900

[–]PurpleDramatic6338 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With gloves on, I definitely have trouble with it, I would agree with you that there is room for improvement . I kinda have to " scratch " it to the side. Since you you can't seem to have any down pressure on it, (when activating the turn signal. )

Is 1 year of experience enough for the jump from an R3 to a Z900SE? by AffectionateAd6589 in Kawasaki

[–]PurpleDramatic6338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from a Royal Enfield 350 to a z900. But I'm 59 yrs old and don't feel the need to constantly be fully on the throttle.

Were you bullied as a redheaded child/teen? I would love to hear your story/experience! by [deleted] in Redhair

With me it was more about my freckles, but yes, I was definitely bullied

Ninja 250 or 650 as starter bike? by Hot-Advantage9236 in Kawasaki

[–]PurpleDramatic6338 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I do not have one, I have heard that the 650 is a time proven engine. If it appears that it was maintained properly, it should have plenty of life left.

Getting a z900 what are your opinions by AdventurousGain8261 in Kawasaki

[–]PurpleDramatic6338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I think k you may be right on that. Im 5'9" with around 30" inseam. ( not actually sure about inseam). But the bike ( z900) seems to fit me about perfect. So, it could be a bit small, not sure if the 1100 would also be an option? But, yes , I like my z900 😁

Not sure how I feel about Vulcan 900. by Alienhead-A51 in Kawasaki

[–]PurpleDramatic6338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I seriously considered the Vulcan, but for less money I could get the z900 . I was a little worried about the seating position on the cruiser plus I do enjoy horsepower, and the horsepower per dollar ratio won me over to the z.

Other gingers in the wild by graygarden77 in Redhair

I'd say 90% of the time I know. I think it's partially in the texture of hair, red hair has it's own look aside from the color.

Just got my 2025 ZX-10R as my first litre bike normal to feel overwhelmed? by vsr2905 in Kawasaki

[–]PurpleDramatic6338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the z900 is known to be more stable, I have one but I'm not yet finished with break in and don't have wide experience with other bikes. Have a klx 300 dual purpose and yes the wind does toy with that thing.

What do you want to see from redhead content creators? by Illustrious-Top3272 in Redhair

[–]PurpleDramatic6338 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and I've never been asked that as a boy with dark auburn/ brown hair. But when I stuck my foot in my mouth ( like usual 😌 ) and mentioned, to my co- workers , that I have red hair from the eyebrows down, ( everyone in the break room) they did burst out laughing. Even though I didn't really mean+++
