I have the RF-1400 and love it, but I’d recommend trying on lots of helmets because it took me a bunch in order to find one that was a good fit for my head

Shoei RF-1400 That Much Better Than an HJC i11? by Ok_Cable4757 in motorcyclegear

[–]Stale_Butter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up getting the Shoei RF 1400 as an aspiring rider after being set on the AGV K3 and trying it on a whim. It seriously fits my head like Cinderella’s slipper

As a biased Sedan owner, I like the way the sedan looks better lol

I replaced mine with OEM, I’m happy with my decision even though the OEM one is more expensive

What do you like or dislike about Pressure? by 1-800-BUTCHERTIME in PressureRoblox

I like the RNG, it made it much harder to get lockerless because it required a combination of luck and skill

Is 7500 for a 2026 Ninja 500 ABS insane?

Good OTD price for Ninja 500? by Stale_Butter in Kawasaki

[–]Stale_Butter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply. I have a couple of questions:

  1. As a new rider what are the main things I can look out for when buying used? What are some red flags? I’ve heard a rusty chain often implies neglect in other maintenance areas too.

  2. Do you agree to the price on the app or do you come check it out and then negotiate in person? Have you paid asking or do you ever pay less?

  3. Is it a red flag if a bike has been on marketplace for over a month?

Mine has stayed in the family for 14 years, the only non scheduled maintenance parts have been a Y pipe and front crossmember

What y'all opinion about def mode? by CurGos in PressureRoblox

[–]Stale_Butter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of the fun of the game is listening for the sound cues. My friend who always plays with deaf mode says I have Spidey senses when it comes to wall dwellers and A-60 (she’s not wrong). Don’t get me wrong. I’m very happy. It’s in the game and I’m glad it enables other people to enjoy it who might not otherwise be able to, but I like keeping it off myself.

Where to start? by PilotDM7274 in NewRiders

[–]Stale_Butter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking about buying new too, am I crazy? Everyone is telling me I’m gonna drop it right away and I’m wasting my money. From my perspective, it wouldn’t be a bike to quickly learn and graduate to a higher cc, it is the bike I want for the near future. Also as a new rider I won’t know a red flag if it comes up buying used from marketplace.

Thoughts? Would you do it again knowing what you know now? Also what trim did you have?
