bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
If we got a dime every time we were asked what to buy as a first bike, we could easily buy a Kawasaki Ninja 300, Honda CBR500R or Kawasaki Ninja 650, three bikes we feel are best suited to answer the query. The truth is, there isn't a simple answer anymore. Height, weight, natural ability, and of course wallet size all play important roles in determining which motorcycle you should start on.

Keeping it real, I have a cbr500r, good bike, fun, but i wish i had gotten a ninja 300 or R3....simply because they are so light and easy to flick around, and you can rev them to the moon, and they have all the power up top, which is FUN!!!!!!!
I like to rev up bikes high, and flick them around -
I just bought a 650 in the Philippines. I was driving the speed limit and when I came over a hill there was trash from a garbage truck all over the road. I wiped out big time. I was wearing shorts and the shirt, my arm got all ate up. The bike only has 125 miles on it, so brand new. So it is at the shop getting fixed. I think the handlebars might be a touch bent, which means I will need to buy more. It sucks sliding on concrete lol

Why are they riding with only one headlight on?
-
If these bikes are suppose to be for beginners, than how would they know what their style is never having ridden?
-
would a ninja 650 be a okay jump from a dr200 that I ride on the street everyday. Like. I feel like I ride a lot and would prefer a more sporty bike but I feel like anything that does 0 to 60 under 4 might be a little unsafe. I live in a smaller town so they're not a place where I'll really be at 60 but I'd like a bigger bike so I don't have to work the engine to go 45. if not a ninja 650 what bike would y'all recommend.

I recently picked up the CBR 500r. I'm not an expirenced rider what so ever but I enjoy it a lot. plus you couldn't beat the deal I got on it
-
I think A 650 is the best beginner bike but not the ninja 650
-
Purchase day is getting closer. Or, rather, riding test day Aug 5th. If I pass, I get a ninja 300 ... or, maybe an r3 ... but probably not a cbr 500r ... probably.
Thank you for video and insights. -
If I don't find out the name of the into song I'm going to get the biggest headache and I used to listen to that song and now I can't remember it!
-
Which is better?
-
I got my Ninja650 with abs for 6k. Not a bad bike at all. Very comfortable and lots of power for a 600 size bike. The only thing I have a hard time with is taking sharp turns, getting it to stick is kinda hard.
-
sitting/leaning on the right side of the bike in the beginning....who's the beginner?
-
I completely disagree on the ninja 650. Having the higher rear sets give you that better lean in angle but the higher bars save your back if you have problems or can't retain the hunched over position. CBR needs some juice. HP is very lower considering the KTM 390 is pushing close to that with just 1 cylinder and less displacement. Ninja 300. Honestly I think it would be a blast to race around. Gets me vote for best bike for the money.
-
The biggest thing for me is I'm 18, 5'11 180 lbs and have been dirt bikes and quads all my life and im looking to buy a sports bike and my biggest thing is finding one that will fit me best but also will allow me to become a better rider on a sports bike so if anyone has any pointers or bikes they think would be best for someone like me it would be very helpful

Lame review and opinions. Ninja 650 old day long.
-
Been riding the CBR500r for some time now. Really great bike and definitely a great purchase. I'll be doing my own review soon. Just started up my channel and made made a short teaser-trailer to get some hype. Got some cool adventures of my own coming up soon. Stay Tuned!
-
the ninja 650 is that restricted?
-
the cbr puts out 42 hp? that's the same as the yamaha r3.. so they essentially you could buy a r3 which may just have a bit less torque for cheaper
