..you sound like me, I had a few bikes in the 80s & 90s but my wife made me get rid of them while raising kids. 20 yrs later I took classes over, renewed my license.. and started riding again. I have 2 (1 is a Ninja 650) & my son has 2 and we ride in the beautiful mountains of Pa. on nice days!

You are doing and excellent job my friend! I been riding since 1985 and I still do low speed maneuvers twice a month. Anybody can do over 100 mph in a straight line but everyone can't ride between 2 & 4 mph without putting their feet down. I have a 2018 Ninja 650 and 3 other bikes. A CBR650 & restoring a 2009 R6. I helped my son get a ZX4rr 2 months ago. All my riding friends have Goldwings, Harleys, Indian Chieftains, and Triumph Rockets 3s... and I can do low speed maneuvers, figure 8s etc on every one of their bikes. I took several classes in the last 10 yrs also. Watch the Moto Gymkhana videos on KZitem to learn more. Keep up the good work my friend and stay safe !☮

I got bit by the moto bug just a week ago and now I'm craving one. I've been looking at the 650 and these videos just keep selling me for it. All that power is great for the beginner to intermediate rider and is a bike you can happily keep in your garage even after upgrading, if you ever do. People say they've been happy with their 300, of all things, for most of their time riding. Have fun!

You still haven't learned how to down shift (engine brake) and stop using your whole hand to pull in the clutch. Just use 2 fingers so you can maintain positive control of the bike and you only need to pull it in about half way. That's why your shifts are so jerky. I like the videos man, keep having fun riding!

hey some advice, you shouldn't be in fourth or fifth gear at 45-50 mph. maybe third or even second. The rpms with bikes are different than cars, you have more torque and control in lower gears which will allow you to accelerate or engine break much faster to get your self out of a sticky situation. being in fifth at 45mph if someone were to jump out at an intersection and your only plan to avoid it was to accelerate, being in fifth, even if you pulled the throttle all the way back you would accelerate so slow where as if you were in second or third, your bike, would be able to catch the length of the gear and zip out of the way. Happy learning congrats on your new bike im also a new rider, two months in daily riding 4k miles in. Watched the whole video and that's my only tip! great stuff man I just started Moto vlogging myself! Gave you a sub!

He is doing great. Some information for you from someone who has owned 3 different kawasaki bikes including a 650. It is not a 600cc bike. He is as a whole riding in the area of the rpms where the power is even if he needed to accelerate. If you rev out a ninja 650, the stock ECU will cut the power at higher rpms and choke the engine with a bad air and gas mix. Kawasaki does this to keep it restricted as all their bikes are. I understand what you are telling him but this bike has amazing torque even in 6th up to about 60mph. He does not have the experience to quick shift in this manner and with the fuel cut off throttle like any kawasaki, it makes him trying to shift in sticky situations more dangerous.

I also have a ninja 650, trust me it has so much low down torque it's scary, 5th gear at these speeds is no issue whatsoever, it pulls like a train in any gear even at low rpm. Its nothing like a 600, or any other 4 cylinder which needs to be 8000 rpm's or more to come alive. He's doing ok, he just needs to keep practicing and read the road further ahead, he reacts to other cars rather than being ready for them.

Nice video. Beginner rider videos are very enjoyable. You took corners and curves well. I'm a beginner as well. I've only taken the MSF course. I have a first bike, but I got it at an auction so it needs work. I'm hoping to ride it by next week if there's no other issues I come across after the few fixes I'm about to do to get it running. I plan to ride my bike home from the shop, which is about a 13 mile ride. But after that I will try to stick with parking lots to brush up on my skills before riding on the road again. I will be posting moto vlogs as well. Please keep making videos if you can.

I’ve been juggling with what bike to get as my beginner bike the ninja 400/500/650 or the Aprilia 457. I’m pretty mature and I’m planning on keepin my beginner for a long time so don’t want something I’m gonna get bored of after 2 or 3 seasons. I also wanna do track days which is why either the ninja 400 or the Aprilia 457 appeal to me.

Take the bike with less power maybe z300 or z400. And once you have the hang of it which takes a few years you upgrade and sell your old bike. A bike with 39ps still has a similar speed as if you’re driving a golf gti. And it’s not as expensive so the few scratches don’t hurt

Shift up the motor will pull it easily and a little more speed will help stability. Everyone says a good learner bike but I think not so. Just a little too heavy a little too powerful not 100% upright Tires are slippery when new and in wet weather. It may take a while to get going on it so take it slow and pay attention to what you are doing. This bike is nearly perfect for everything so enjoy.
