Ninja 300 or Honda CBR500r for beginner?
I'm looking at getting a bike and the two that interest me are the Ninja 300 and the Honda CBR500r. Just want to know what you guys would pick and why? I'm leaning towards the Ninja 300. Like the looks of it better but i'm also 6'4'' and about 175 Lbs so that may be a little small in size, motor has plenty of powerful might be a little cramped though. But anyway, what are your thoughts?
Go to a motorcycle dealer's shop and try actually sitting on one of these "Mini crotch-rockets". Not just for a few minutes, but actually sitting in the position you would need to be in to RIDE the bike for 30 minutes or so… I think you will find that at 6'4" tall, you won't be able to sit comfortably on either one of these bikes.
If you Really want to ride a motorcycle, you need to forget about "Sports" bikes and look at dual-sport or cruiser style bikes. They will allow you to stretch out and actually have room to move around and get comfortable. Cruisers can even have "forward" controls that make even more room for long legs.
Go sit on a few bikes until you find the one that fits you.
- Which motorcycle this is? (ex. Honda, kawasaki, yamaha, etc.) And series as well (ex. Cbr, ninja, etc.)? Thank you very much! The reason I'm asking is because it is not physically in my possession… Otherwise I obviously would have checked the bike itself.
- Which looks better: a Kawasaki Ninja 250r or a Honda CBR250R? I'm debating these two bikes and they are both pretty similar. Now I'm just deciding which looks better? Here is a couple of pictures of them side by side. P.S don't just by color. Just plain looks.
- Which is better for a beginner: a Kawasaki ninja 250r or a Honda CBR250R? I'm a beginner and I'm thinking about getting a bike. Please don't tell me to get a 600 or 1000 or whatever. I don't need those. I can do well with a 250. I just want to know what is better in your guys' opinion. Please explain why.
- Kawasaki Ninja 300 or Honda Cbr300r? As a beginner I'm not sure which one to go with here. I have been riding dirt bikes in my past years so I figured the 300's would be fun to start on. I'm female relatively small, about 5'2 and 120lb. Any advice on which bike to go for? I've always liked the Honda Cbr model but can't decide if I should give the other a chance. Is there anything you do or don't like about them?
