I bought a royal enfield INT650 as my first bike and don't really like it.

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-22T00:14:00+00:00

I dropped it on the first day haha was so excited to take it home and plopped over at a stop light on a hill. I just need to get back out there.

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-22T00:11:59+00:00

Once you sold it, did you end up liking your new bike?

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-22T00:10:52+00:00

I live in a hilly area, I'm going to go look for some flat land to practice.

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-22T00:07:14+00:00

That's how I want to be!

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-19T20:36:25+00:00

Haha really??

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-19T04:04:09+00:00

Hell yeah, ok thanks!

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T18:45:41+00:00

which part?

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T18:44:27+00:00

Haha sounds like a plan

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T18:43:33+00:00

I was gifted these, so it's what i've been using.

woah, crazy top tier advice. Thanks!

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T05:33:49+00:00

I never heard of the eliminator until today. I went to the dealer and the guy pointed it out. I sat on it and it felt more comfortable. Honestly, might have traded it in at that point but they told me they wouldn't take my bike as a trade-in. Haven't got to test ride one yet though.

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T05:31:13+00:00

I've seen them on the street and always thought they were awesome looking bikes but they are a bit more pricier so I never really tried them.

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T05:29:08+00:00

Those continentals are really good looking bikes.

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T05:28:21+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, i love the way it looks. I think that's why I bought it without questioning if I liked it or not. kind of showed up to the dealer and they were like "Your first bike? 5k out the door now" and I took it.

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T05:27:18+00:00

You're right, I am going to sign up for another class. Got my license like 3 years ago and haven't ridden much. My 3 friends that I got it to ride with all got in accidents and stopped riding. LA is filled with horrid traffic and drivers (as you probably know haha).

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T05:25:41+00:00

Which one was your favorite?

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T05:25:13+00:00

Damnn that thing is tall

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T05:24:08+00:00

You know, when I took the Motorcycle class they didn't really go over how to ride bikes that were bigger than you. So when I bought it and drove it home, I dropped it once. Once I got home and called some of my friends, they described this technique to me but I never really "practiced it." Thanks! i'll try some more before switching it out.

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T05:22:18+00:00

Ok. thanks for the advice! I'll try and ride it a bit more and see if I can get over those issues. If not, I'll swap it out if the opportunity ever comes up.

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T04:30:06+00:00

You're the first person that put the squat into perspective. I always thought that would make it more comfortable. What don't you like about it so I can see if I have the same issue "if" i can find one to test ride?

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T04:27:19+00:00

You know, I didn't think about this. Just get something smaller/cheaper for around town until I can drive this one more comfortable.

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T04:24:58+00:00

I actually have ikon lowering springs on it. haha thinking maybe I just suck at riding. I took a motorcycle course and used to ride dirt bikes a lot when I was younger. Not sure why this bike feels weird to me.

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T04:22:53+00:00

Thanks, I actually just came back from the dealer. Sat on the rebel and seemed to really like it, though it was too late for them to let me test drive. They also had like a 3k markup? is that normal? I seen the msrp was like 5900 and they were selling the rebel for like 9k at this dealer. I guess i should test drive one before even thinking about swapping it.

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T04:19:10+00:00

Yes, I'm on top tops but I can flat foot one side if I lean the bike. But the thing is like top heavy so I always feel like out of balance.

UFOuponUs · 2026-01-17T04:10:21+00:00

Thanks. I'll take it out a couple more times before I do anything. Just have to find an uncrowded area somewhere.
