I'm thinking about getting one of these, that's why I'm here obviously, I owned 5 different bikes before, the smallest being a 2001 Suzuki GZ250, the biggest being a 2012 Harley Street Bob, in between the small a bigger bikes was a 2003 Suzuki Intruder 800cc, a 1982 Honda Cb 500, a 2021 Honda Rebel 500cc, the Honda rebel and Harley were 6 speed, the rest were 5 speed, the 3 5 speed bikes I always thought the bikes would be a lot better if they had another gear, when I had the extra gear with the 2 bikes, I found I rarely used the 6th gear, it didn't seem to make any difference having it, so I can live with a 5 speed, I'm not looking to break any speed records, I just want to cruise and enjoy being alive so these bikes seem like they are great for that, what a rambling comment I put up Here, lol.

I started out on dirt bikes but got the 1100 as my first street bike. It's got considerably more power but it's extremely manageable and fun to ride. Don't let a bigger displacement scare you. But ride whatever you're comfortable with and you'll have an awesome time regardless. Best of luck!
@dapster8 жыл бұрын
I agree with not letting the displacement of the bike scare you. It's horsepower and torque you should worry about. Take for example this bike. It might have the same size engine as a Ninja 650 but much less HP and torque due to it not only being a heavier bike but having a shaft drive as well.

@@dapster The Yamaha xvs-650 has more torque than the Ninja - 650...A v-twin is all about the torque...As to the question, it's three years old and am sure the decision was made...My opinion would be to go with the 650 and not the 250 for the simple reason, you'd be selling the 250 soon enough...I'd stick with the 650 and you'll most likely hang on to it longer...A 250 is hard to find a buyer base and most I've know where women who were first time riders...I've a female friend who's had her 250 for sale thru many outlets and in her front yard and it's not had much interest...

@luckyjonna- You're wrong, pulling the clutch in always comes before braking no matter what speed, and it gives you maximum stability. Letting the clutch out while braking decreases stability and has the potential of launching you off the bike. If you've taken an MSF course you would've known that.

@flightbyshred10 жыл бұрын
same here man, the clutch is like an on/off switch, where you're either engaged for a split second, or stalling. Research "the clevver" on yamaha forums, it's basically a modified stock clutch lever with a new hole drilled closer to the pivot point of the clutch lever. It gives you more friction zone, before you're fully engaged so it helps a lot with stalling. It's also lighter to pull in. Installing is easy, all you do is replace the clutch lever then put in the new one - but instead you put the clutch cable into the new hole (where the end of the cable rests), closest to the pivot point. I hope this helps.

Being scared or not has nothing to do about whether or not you should ride with gear or not. It's about avoiding having a fucked up day where in the event you do get into an accident you'll be able to walk away from it unscathed. As for that "rather be a squid than an asshole" comment I'd rather be an asshole who walked away from an accident unharmed than some idiot who didn't wear his gear - helmet included - and because of it is sitting either in a hospital bed or at home screaming in pain from road rash or being fed his food due to hitting his head at 65 MPH or more and winding up as an invalid. Guess when you wind up that way you'll be saying to yourself, "Maybe I should have worn my gear."

@jaywaautomotive10 жыл бұрын
You always use transmission to brake in bikes, cars and trucks. It doesn't damage the transmission cause it's still spinning the same as when you accelerate. Also you have to go down the gears cause you shouldn't change gears while sitting still on a bike. It also helps stability hugely in bikes, cars and trucks. But you use front brake with a little back brake with the engine brake. Obviously ya don't rev it to high when you do it. If ya going through the twisters ya really need to also
@Dialysisforever10 жыл бұрын

@Evan-ki6pp10 жыл бұрын
jaywa Not necessarily. You don't wanna downshift to a low gear at a high speed, and you don't wanna let off the clutch too fast while doing it. It is illegal to engine brake in some places for big trucks. Also in traffic, not a good idea to use it to slow down quickly on a bike except during emergencies. Good way to get rear ended.
