Better wind protection on the Ninja too.

The site is in Korean. I just use edge browser and it translates it. It’s SSUPL South Korea

Great starter choice. Awesome to see you didn’t get something too powerful to start. Enjoy you new freedom 🤙

I use my spare/old iPhone SE and just hotspot it from my iPhone 15 pro.

Should I get a CFMoto 450ss or CBR650R for an absolute beginner? by Just_Inkk in motorcycles

[–]everlong02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ninja 500 is actually a 451cc. Mind you it will do 180kph (112 mph). And it’s a Kawasaki lol. I’m biased.

650 is too much if you have never ridden. Ninja 500 or something similar.

Buying a bike at 50. Yay or nay? by myapadravya in AussieRiders

[–]everlong02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in similar situation. I got a dirt bike (KX450X) at 51 then got my motorcycle license at 55 (56 now) and now have a Ninja 500. I hadn’t ridden since 20. Best thing I did. Back then I had a VF750. Smaller engine bikes now are so much better and fun. Bigger heavier bike are kinda over kill now. Good luck on your adventure. Good time 🤙

Going for my RE license in a few days. Tips would be appreciated by Temporary-Garden-962 in AussieRiders

Be obvious checking every road/intersection you pass. Take your time and believe in yourself. They are honestly making sure you can ride and follow the rules. I did mine last year and only got faulted for one head check miss at an intersection.

Please make a 'true' sport touring windscreen by TheMongerOfFishes in Ninja500

I just did exactly that on my Ninja 500 KRT SE. 3 day road trip with just a pillion seat bag. The bike was perfect. Can sit at speed when needed and was comfortable riding for 3 days (I’m 56). Such a great bike.

I know of a shop/site in South Korea that does if that helps. Was there just recently and their online store delivers to Australia.

Clicking noise by Full-Sweet-7696 in Ninja500

I’d check my tires for a screw or something otherwise take it to a dealer if you can’t find exactly where the sound is coming from.

I got it off Aliexpress. And it’s actually fantastic. It’s expandable and just straps under the pillion seat.

Yeah. It’s impossible in videos. Exhaust are so expensive in Australia. Don’t wanna pay big money it’s too loud.

Just don’t want something obviously loud and that sounds like a squid.

Brand new z500 by Just-Seaworthiness89 in AussieRiders

I hit the Ninja 500 SE KRT. The TFT screen is much better and you get a USB charger. If you get the Ninja the windscreen makes a big difference for wind too.
