Hey guys, new rider here. Just got my first bike. I think I may have fucked up.

I got something with a .25 power-to-weight ratio, I'm kinda scared to get back on it after yesterday. I twisted the throttle for almost no time at all and I was already going over 60mph in a residential. I've had slow shitboxes my whole life too so it doesn't help. I follow ATGATT, am insured and aced my MSF course but it didn't prepare me very well for all this power.

Did I fuck up? Is it possible to learn still? I really want to ride but it feel like a really steep learning curve on a bike like this.

Keep half of your wrist on the bar end on the throttle hand, it's a little easier to control the throttle input. Will work until your balls drop and you realize you like the power

1st time: harley shut Buell down because Keith Wandel is a cockmunch.
2nd time: hero hires (buys controlling shares) of a small American start up to design bikes for them. When the bikes are 85% done, pull out completely with out paying for any of the work because lol fuck you bye Felicia. EBR no longer has the funding to do what they were doing and has to close.
3rd time: not shut down, just not making bikes atm. They're still open and honoring warranties.

It's not that I don't like the power it's just that I literally can't control it. When I first take off there's so much torque it's like holding on to a bull. Also weighs a lot more than the little 125cc's I trained on.

Online store, free return.

I wanna find another one first though, but it's so annoying

What up, /dbt/

Is there a guide to upshifting somewhere? I somehow nail my downshifts and rev matches perfectly, but I seldom get my upshifts going right.

Either I don't give enough throttle and then the engine revs high as I finally connect the clutch (probably me changing too slowly), or I slip the clutch for slightly too long. I never get the perfect VROOM-vroooOOOM sound of revving then upshifting and revving again, it's always a VROOM-vroom and it takes a second to get back into the power band.

Hope my mildly autistic rambling makes sense. Is this a muscle memory thing or can I actually learn?

I'm not excusing anything. Erik is not a business man, he's an engineer. The bikes are good, they just need decent funding and most importantly, marketing. The marketing for EBR was atrocious this time around. They need a dedicated marketing team, someone who can get dealers, and exposure.

hey /o/ I got my first bike about a year ago (ninja 250) and have put about 4k miles on it. I'm feeling more comfortable now on the bike and thinking about selling it and getting something a bit bigger. I like the feel of a sport bike, but am not opposed to something else. I've looked around and heard suggestions like a daytona, sv650, ninja 636, but I'd like to hear what you guys think. Price range is preferably no more than $4,000.

>>somewhat fast with reasonable handling but comfier
something in these two categories probably. I don't do much distance riding but I don't think I'll be doing much racing on a track either.

>>16846007
636 i'd say
The proper old ones are goat
Daytona is fucking amazing, but considerably pricier and less reliable

>>16846018
Cool thanks! I like my ninja 250 so far so a 636 seems like a logical upgrade.

>>16846003
Not for the segment

>>16846007
Just try any of the 600 class supersports then. CBR600RR, R6, ZX6R/636, or GSX-R600. They're all really comparable. If you find them uncomfortable then you might want to try the sport-touring derivatives like a FZ6.

Just... don't fucking twist the throttle. Turn it. FUCKING GENTLY. You're not wringing a damn towel.
If you need to pull away real slow, ease out the clutch in idle. It's a V-MAX, it'll quite happily roll along in idle.

I am really getting sick of getting stuck in traffic.

>>16846096
If you are in my country, South Africa, it would depend if you were speeding and if the road was more than one lane.

If you were splitting legally he would be at fault for not checking blind spots.

>>16846102
Does the whole thing need to be replaced?
What engine?
If there's no bottom end damage just replace the top unless it's really old / high mileage. And even then it probably doesn't need it.

2 is there any evidence of the accident?

>>16846106
Thanks man I'm pretty hyped. It literally has lolnotorque below 5k RPM though.

>>16846070
Noice. But still plenty of torque. As already pointed out fine throttle control ia the only way to manage that beast as it pulls hard in lower rev ranges also.

Be VERY careful when cornering as it's basically designed to run straights fast

>>16846096
If the vehicle violating traffic laws hits you it's their fault.
If you swerve away to avoid an accident and hit another vehicle, it's yours.
Should have sideswiped the offender unfortunately.

>>16846168

Will I've been level at 730 for the last 4 months just because I only have one line of credit. The fact that I can pay this loan off in a half a year doesn't hurt me.

Bike in question
>2017 Kawasaki Ninja 300

Haven't been on anything other than a dirt bike before. Have a long work commute that's full of Twisties and stop signs.

Want it as a starter bike while I tear my summer car apart. Originally planned on driving my winter beater until the summer was fixed, but for <6k new it'd be hard to turn down.

What's the insurance rates like? I completed the MSF a few years ago, but I'd probably take it again.

Roads on the new commute are 45-55mph roads with lots of stops.

Aiming for MPG, fun factor, and I've always wanted a street bike.

Is the 2017 Kawasaki 300 a decent bike? Could I put it in the back of the truck and track it?

>>16845873
just make some new ones and stop being a fag, your filenames are 100% admissible proof it is you

>>16846399
now that is just next level memeing

>>16846680
Don't get a new bike as your first bike. Period. Last year I bought a 2016 Ninja 300. I love the bike, lots of fun but it's small, I've dropped it at least once and felt horrible about dropping my brand new bike. Find a cheap ninja 300 on craigslist, or worst case a dealership might have a used one they're trying to flip quick.

>>16846680
why 2017?
You save money and have a more powerful bike if you buy a mid-2000s one

I was all set to go to SAM last year, then the date was changed to 3 weeks later and I couldn't justify taking the time off that close together. And it sucks because I was in the area 2 weeks before. I also didn't want to do a 700 mile trip twice in that time period.

Daily reminder that REAL MOTORCYCLING™ is exclusively low speed control.

Anyone that goes faster than 75mph on a motorcycle is not a real motorcyclist and should not own or ride a motorcycle. No one should ride any motorcycles with more than 50hp and everyone should wear a textile oversuit, knee pads, neck condom, leg condoms, elbow pads, elbow condoms, helmet and head condom, full elbow length gloves with integrated glove condom, boots, boot condoms, chest protector, chest condom, etc. or you're not a REAL MOTORCYCLIST™ and in a crash your shitty leather and CE padding will explode compared to my impenetrable textile armor that I wear to political rallies and beat people up in. Anyone who drags knee or leans more than 20 degrees in a turn is just asking for death and will crash and die guaranteed. REAL MOTORCYCLING™ is all about following road rules to a T and flipping out and going into a rage at every single mistake anyone else makes on the road, just so they know how inferior they are to you. To prove you are a REAL MOTORCYCLIST™ you should record these episodes on one of your 7 GoPros mounted all over your motorcycle and body and post them in over-annotated Youtube videos just so everyone can see how good you are at REAL MOTORCYCLING™. Be sure to ride around in densely populated areas with lots of traffic to ensure you are capturing the best footage of people not driving as well as you are riding your motorcycle and the inferior actions they take.

Consider yourselves educated in the proper ways of riding, I hope everyone takes this to heart. Take care and vlog safe.

>>16846769
what are all these condoms of which you speak?

>>16846680
Pick up a used WR250X and hoon the fuck out of it. They are just as fast to reasonable speeds. Get better gas mileage, handle better in tight twisties, and overall are just more fun bikes.

Only thing you're missing out on is faux-sportbike looks and about 20mph of top speed you're probably not going to use anyway.

And as a learning bike you can drop the fuck out of them and not damage anything other than some superficial scratches on pegs/handlebars.

They do 95-100mph? How is this not fast enough for highway speeds?

I ride mine to work every day on the freeway in southern california. Lane splitting and passing people going 70mph+

They are more than fast enough for the highway and will do 75mph all day and night. Try actually riding one before you jump to conclusions.

Hell I cruise around at 75mph+ on the highway and I have mine regeared +4 in the rear.

>hur dur indicated.
No, thats actual speed from GPS on phone. Indicated i'm at like 100-105mph due to stock speedo inaccuracy and regear.

If you're putting them on a second set of wheels for mainly dirt use, why not get dedicated off-road tires like k760s.
>mt43 front with d606 rear
sounds like a weird combination anyway. I would at least put the knobbier tire on the front and put the trials tire on the rear.

How do you guys clean your helmets?
I just pulled my interior liners and let them sit in water with a bit of detergent for a bit and then rinse them off.
As for the helmet EPS liner I'm not sure what to do, just a wipe down with a rag?

Seems to be doing ok so far kek I have a coupe stubborn loose spokes too.Torque ain't the best for rear wheel life

so i bought a bike 3 weeks ago from craigslist, it came with a title but it's not on the seller's name he said he got it as a payment for some car work he did

now i need the title to my name because the apt complex i live in decided to enforce their towing of non operable vehicle on their lot just recently (had my daily on expired registration for 8 months with no problem from the apt previously)

he's being flakey about helping straighten this title issue out, the plates has got 2011 tags on it. possibly off the dmv records by now? if so how easy would it be to apply for a new title. i dont have a bill of sale for it either but i do know where he lives and his number

should i just take the bike back to him and get my money back?

One little trick you can do with the handle bars is flip them upside down and switch sides. It makes the r6 a bit more upright when I did it. Newer 636s might be a little tricky because of the steering stabilizers, but it's an otherwise simple flip.

what would you rather i do?

>>16847863
not try to act like the helmetless nigra squids you see in youtube videos? the arm swing is only cool if you can actually drag your hand on the ground

>>16847846
Literally what are you doing with your arm

Oh, nevermind

>>16847846
Dude you are more of a living stereotype than a socially awkward ninja 250 rider decked out a bunch of bilt textile wearing an expensive helmet

Seconding. Expect to lose about half of the value of that particular bike in about a year if you buy new.

If you like getting on the throttle just skip to a liter bike if youve been riding that much.
I started on a Ninja 636 its not fast enough :C

Everyone learns at their own pace, but you'll find that 4,000 miles isn't very much. Humans have a natural tendency to overestimate their ability; you and I are no exceptions. If you bought your bike used, I'd say keep it a while longer until you really get a good feel for riding. Of all the bikes you mentioned, the SV would be the most appropriate right now. The fact that you've only put 4,000 miles on in a year shows that you don't ride much, I really think you're overestimating yourself here.

I've been seeing a '90 FRZ1000 pop up on CL for $1700 lately.

Anyone have any experience or knowledge about the bike? It seems interesting but not exactly what I'm after right now. On the other hand, its a liter bike and its inexpensive.

>>16848047
guess not? :(
i'll be sure to post more arm waving webms just for you :)

Daily reminder that if you've been riding for more than a year but can't willy even a little bit yet you need to quit.

I don't think you'd have any problem going to the 636, but I also agree wtih the other anon that you'd still have heaps to learn on the mount you're on.

SV's are good but you're getting far superior kit on a 600 in terms of suspension, braking, frame, even stuff like the weight of the wheels and what not.

some anons had some of those old genesis engine yamahas and ended up selling the because they were falling apart. One of them lost the whole left side fairing on the highway before he was supposed to sell it.
