Jade's first time riding a street bike - Kawasaki Ninja 300

[@praisethesunpvp]

People complaining about no gear: She's in a fucking driveway, going at most 40mph. Do you wear a full race suit everytime you ride your bicycle down a hill? Because that's basically the equivalent.

[@Deadwindshadow]

Praise the Sun yeah, but when you go cycling you already know how to do it. Your chances of falling are minimal. When it's your first time riding a big motorized machine, you're likely to fall!

[@carneasada9089]

+Deadwindshadow this guy is on point. at least wear long sleeve shirt. you're more likely to fall doing slow maneuvering (stalling) than riding at speed bro. But really her main problem is her deathgrip on the bars, but she's probably worked that out by now. Loosen up your grip.

[@CanookieYT]

+Praise the Sun All the gear, all of the time. Only squids wear just the helmet, and that's why squids end up as statistics.

[@ohhatu8081]

+Praise the Sun Wearing gear is something that comes either with maturity or experience. You obviously don't have neither of those things.

[@Deadwindshadow]

7A proud are we xD ahahahaha

[@CheffVonn]

Guy: "Oh my gosh i`m so nervous. Girl: "Im so nervous!". Guy: "You`ll be fine!!" lmao. 3:37

[@seangordon5593]

Just thought the same thing lol

[@stephenlake885]

And she was. He's married to her and has seen her ride a quad and dirt bike a few times and in confident in her.

[@RichardBronosky]

She seems like a sweet girl. If you care about her, don't let her ride without a jacket and gloves. I don't care what the weather is like. I don't care that she was only in a drive way. A tiny low speed spill can easily leave you hurting for 6 weeks. Great production quality especially considering you were the lone cameraman and the gear you were working with. A+ on that. Be safer from now on.

[@SymptomsOFHardstyle]

I can run faster than what she is riding dude, by your theory I should go running with a 1 piece leather suit, boots, gloves and a helmet to avoid getting hurt for 6 weeks. Do you even ride bro?

[@deanocallan18]

SymptomsOFHardstyle I ride and come from a family of bikers and i am also part of a motorcycle club who agree with every single person that has said "wear gear". it doesnt matter how fast you are going you can still get hurt. The question is do you ride? Any sensible and experienced biker will know that you should wear gear as you can get hurt at any moment whether you're pushing it or not. Only a yob who rides a bike without gear cause they think they are going "too slow" to get hurt would go without gear

[@RichardBronosky]

SymptomsOFHardstyle I do ride. Three weeks after getting my KLR650, in September of last year, I slid riding Forestry Service trails at low speed. My left ankle broke under the impact of my 500lb motorcycle. I had to ride (and shift with a broken ankle) 127 miles to get home. I promptly bought proper MX boots. Just a few weeks ago I was on a hiking date and didn't want her to have to wait on me to suit up before driving to get dinner. On the 1 lane, loopback, interstate off ramp some jerk in a huge GMC truck decides to pass me on the outside because I was only going 30. He loses control, spins, and totals his truck right in front of me. I drive through a cloud of airborne debris fighting the instinct to close my eyes as broken glass bounces off my helmet. I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I came very close to losing a lot of flesh. I am now an ATGATT rider... with a GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition.

[@deanocallan18]

Im sorry to hear that and hopefully you wont have anymore incidents. All im saying is that although it might be a pain in the arse to constantly put gear on, it is definitely worth it

[@SymptomsOFHardstyle]

Yes I am a rider, grew up riding dirtbikes. Competed in trail and motocross (never done that great but meh). For the last 6 years I've been riding supersports bikes and supermoto's. Started on a CBR250RR, Now ride an R6. I've had my fair share of accidents mate and never ride on the road without full protection but if you fall off at 20km riding around in your backyard, scrape an elbow and start crying "I wish I had gear on". Your a PUSSY. End of story.

[@Quickhandedpanda]

IMO bikes are easier. Two reasons: 1st, the transmission is sequential. You have to go through gears 1 at a time, so it's pretty hard to mess up. Clutch in, kick up to next gear, release clutch while applying some throttle. 2nd, they have wet clutches, meaning it's in a bath of oil. This makes the clutch less grabby, and allows you to use the clutch to control your speed. As long as you don't abruptly let go of the lever, it's easy to be smooth with gear changes. Hope this helps!

[@ShadowLancer128]

beautiful motorcycle, beautiful wife and even a kid. Man, you've got everything any guy in the world needs

[@GregosTH]

Living in a beautiful environment too 🏡

[@AnilJacobs]

It is extremely thoughtful of you to make this video from a 1st time riders perspective. I'm planning to get the training and I now know what to expect. Thank you so so much, this means a lot to all 1st time riders. Great job!

[@ashtrals701]

Aside from all the negative comments about her lack of gear, this is great. I really respect girls getting out there and riding. Can't wait to get my own. You go, girl.

[@bustfer07]

Yea gear is a must! i never used to wear it until i fell off going about 20, which i was lucky i wasn't going any faster and i was ok but it made me realize of just how much damage you take even going at slow speeds. People always ask me why i wear gear and think that its over kill and i tell them that wouldn't understand unless they've been knocked off a bike.

[@mannyfox8089]

I heard this bike is a shit ton of fun

[@InvisibleStormRider]

It look like she was starting to feel it around 8:30. Brought back some fond memories of first rides. Respect to the little mama, respect.

[@thomask365]

Get that skin covered up Jade. Leather.

[@LaGGyXdm]

Talked with my girlfriend a little bit yesterday about getting a bike. I think the Ninja 300 would be great for her for one-two seasons before she rides my R6 or gets her own 600 or bigger.

[@joannab7299]

Me as a kid: I never want to ride a motorcycle or anything like that Me when I found out what a sports bike is: I want one * - *

[@JezPeRR]

+Nikki B The Orcinus orca Bought one yet?, it has been 5 months since you wrote this comment ;)

[@joannab7299]

J Lind I wish... but I don't even have my permit yet soooo... u might wait a few years XD

[@JezPeRR]

Fair enough, just scrolled by some motorcycle videos and fell over your comment and was curious - anyways, good luck with the motorcycle license ;)

[@MidnightMuzic]

I was the same way lol. Up until recently I wasn't interested in sport bikes but a friend of mine is looking to get one and we talked so much about them that I started looking at a ton of bike vids and now I'm like "Bike is life" Lol

[@joannab7299]

MidnightMuzic XD

[@biggeorgiaspots]

With all the whiskey-throttle, wobble-dumps, and other embarrassing mistakes people make, it was refreshing to watch a real success story. You can literally see her improve with each pass. I really enjoyed this video -thanks for posting!

[@Ducati_Dude]

What is 'whiskey throttle'?

[@biggeorgiaspots]

It's when someone grabs the throttle to "hang on" to a runaway bike, panics, and doesn't realize they need to close the throttle to slow down and gain control. It usually results in a wheelie or otherwise wreck.

[@oyilmaz2502]

You are living in a heaven

[@MySoundboy]

i recently fell inlove with sportbikes and im looking to purchase one soon this video made up my mind cause i didnt know what brand or type of sportbike to buy but watching this vid helped me made up my mind thanks to jade

evan sapper no, i just tell them to put on their seatbelt then proceed to smack the shit out of you

[@MartinMcMartin]

This is EXACTLY how I would teach a beginner to get started. Nice quiet, private road, no traffic to get you. Minimal safety gear, she is only going a bit faster than walking speed. When you are just learning how to use the gas, synchronise shifting etc, it is far easier than with bulky gloves, boots as comfortable and restrictive as ski boots, and a smothering heavy set of leathers. That can all be addressed before any real road work. My 2c worth

[@Nigel100]

I feel like I'm learning with her in this video lol. Good vid!

[@Dangrousdave20]

Good video! Really shows the learning curve of the bike, which is good for us "have never ridden anything on two wheels before" people. Thanks!

[@Gexxon]

I think she did pretty damn good, for a first time being on a motorcycle.

[@automotivelastproduction6959]

Nice review. I like it when the presenter is honest and not too scripted.

[@garethmcnally5349]

yeah, get the protection on...can hit the road hard comiing off at any speed

[@ladyjadestone9218]

This video was so helpful. My fiance and I were just talking about me getting my bike license and a 250 or 300. Its a bit intimidating but this video makes me feel way more comfortable. I am practicing on a four wheeler and a dirt bike this summer until I get my bike next year.

[@Ducati_Dude]

Good job Jade! Kinda cool watching a beginner rider. You really need to get out of 2nd gear tho. I was like... "C'mon, shift that thing"... I agree with the other posters... always ride with gear. Road Rash is not nice!

[@NorfolkSouthern-xt3xx]

She's doing a hell of a good job riding that motorcycle for the first time! Looking forward to getting my Ninja 300! Just a few more months,but the way time flies,...it'll be here before you know it!

[@derricksmiles6624]

Rear brake slap for all!!!!!! it does have a front brake. 80-90% of braking on front prevents skidding.

[@brokentissuebox]

Derrick Smiles haha i was wondering my she wasn't using the front brakes!!

[@1incipitvitanova]

She did do fine, with the exception of that awkward stop at 6:21. But she was trying to make it up that slight incline. Her confidence def builds as the film progresses. Beautiful country to ride in too.

[@dodi3bodi]

She picked up really quickly. I should teach my GF too.

[@telkins10]

The engine vibration is not too bad. The engine is rubber mounted, so it should be a lot better than the 250 was. I consistently ride 30-40 miles, and have no issues with vibration or my hands falling asleep lol :) - telkins10

[@clipsedrag13]

I was waiting for the stall on the kickstand being down :)

[@jakeroe6428]

Haha me to

[@mikeure1528]

Tried to start my daughter's bike and it wouldn't start. Figured having the clutch in was good enough. Turned out the kick stand was down and some safety thing was on. Been riding since the 70's (older bikes) and never forgot to put the kick stand up. Not sure if this safety crap helps much.

[@SlavicAffairs]

Damn ninja 300 looks really good, great lines, front lights...really nice :)

[@gabmushakess374]

as you said she's doing a good job bravo🙋👍👏👏

[@gennanam]

I had my first lesson today! Only had bicycle experience. Toppled over twice and for an hour of tuition, I didn't get much except really slow turning, running and stopping but it was fun! I'm going to stick with a cruiser for life probably. I wish I had more space to practice like you :(

[@DemiTriuZ]

she is struggling with the clutch handle bar, kinda too far to reach lol but i think she starts to enjoy the ride after few mins not to mention shes pretty too :D

[@mrp4235]

I have this bike with an altered exhaust and a power commander. So happy with it...

[@djmystery7235]

What if she all of a sudden just started clutch less shifting and just did wheelies like a pro😂😂😂😂😂

[@chrisroberts9516]

That's what I was waiting for.

[@calgary2800]

Thanks for posting this and putting yourself out there. It helps people choose bikes.

[@bokuwaVegetadesu]

i have never driven NONE... no cars nor motorbikes just when i was 15 years old, one cheap bicycle, that is IT. Your girl has MORE advantage than me of course. BUT especially the support of YOU and perhaps friends. SIMPLE AS THAT. i am a newbie and i want to ride a motorcycle. i know the basics of a manual car and motorcycle. i just need PRACTICE. I dont have the support of NO ONE just ME.

[@Legalcat1]

hope you make it Bro if you can start on the biggest one you can get. I got a zx14r ride it below 3rd gear and in always happy

[@bokuwaVegetadesu]

:) that is cool dude. thanks

[@frostbyte964]

Jesse Kangu lmao why did you tell him that

[@ZebasG]

You dont need a vehicle Vegeta, you can fly

[@bokuwaVegetadesu]

wrong!! even Vegeta knows how to drive a car, and probably a motorbike too jejejejejej

[@telkins10]

If you accidentally squeeze the front brake too hard, you can topside or lay the bike down pretty easily. Especially if there is loose gravel. Since it was her first ride, I wanted her to just use the rear brake and get comfortable on the bike. You should always use the front brake, though. I think something like 70% of your stopping power comes from the front brake! - TELKINS10

[@EddWolf78]

why do Kawasaki's sound like a cross between a tractor and blender xD

[@shaz9243]

+EddWolf78 hahahahahahah

[@CptSlow89]

+EddWolf78 Yeah they sound like that when idle. My ex500 too but after 5k rpm is nice with aftermatket exhaust especially while decelerating

[@434gunner]

My ex500 sounds alright when idle even though it idles around 900 rpm

[@gianflavio_]

they sound like a blender and an overheating laptop fan

[@18dyl]

[@dunonyukerolly8698]

Good raw footage of 1st run. A few mistakes along the way, but most new riders make them anyway. Remember to wear protective gear even on your practice runs. Thanks for the upload !! 👍

[@scdevon]

Small women have a 50 lb advantage in the total bike / rider weight combination plus a lower center of gravity. It does make a difference. When small chicks figure out how to let a sport bike rip wide open safely, they usually kick major ass on the street.

[@SoCal_rnr]

I've got a co-work who bought this ride. He's about 5'5 and 145 and can place both feet flat. You can adjust the preload on the bike but not really the height from stock. Any biker will tell you to go down to a deal and sit on a few, what maybe good for one, may not feel right for the other, no matter how physically close they stand. But as far as the 300 goes, I've hear nothing but good things and they look sweet with room to grow after you get settled in. Hope this helps. Ride Safe.

[@jaarmen3]

Nice video. I hope Jade got her license.

[@Lilbitfarmin]

I'm at a stand still right now. I cant get the clutch to throttle ratio right on my 300. And watching her turn around at the end of the drive is a turn I dropped mine yesterday. Watching hands is helping me. My back brake is busted right now from previous owner

[@ABEL1840]

Brave! Good job jade!

[@Treizez34]

I've done 5 hours on the bike (broken up with a couple stops to rest for a few minutes) and vibration doesn't really start to bother me until at least 3 hours in. But even then, it's minimal. Just grip the tank with your knees to prevent your upper body from automatically putting more weight on the arms and hands

[@ajinomoto831]

why was the engine screeching so much? was she over revving?

[@pandathebandit]

Deekshith Moily High revs in low gears.

[@327JohnnySS]

TELKINS10 Hey great job on this video it just goes to show how really easy it is on how to ride a street bike,at first everyone is scared but once you learn that your clucth lever is your friend and you always have front n back brakes you will be ok yet turning in tight spots is the only challenge left to master,that and dealing with other vehicles on the road.Keep your rubber on the road and your tach. in the black! great video and thank you for sharing. Great job faa shore!

[@poetz153]

I want to learn so bad.

[@lovelybones6794]

Me too!

[@henrymartinez4030]

It's easy to learn and alot of fun. Here in South Florida Harley Davidson has Teaching Classes in order to get your endorsement on your Driver's License. Check your closest Harley Davidson Dealer near you. Good luck

[@henrymartinez4030]

Remember once you've learned, all bikes operate the same way. In other words the bike she was on the Kawasaki 300 works the same way as a Big Harley Davidson Cruiser. You'll be able to ride any bike.

[@markseale3235]

I'm learning how to ride as well and counter steering makes it so much easier.

[@telkins10]

I rode a dirt bike for years, and I still remember how nervous and awkward I was the first time I rode a street bike. There is a difference. Of course, knowing how to shift is an advantage and makes everything easier. The bottom line is: This is Jade's first time riding a Kawasaki Ninja 300 street motorcycle. Period. I uploaded it because I thought people would enjoy it. If you don't like the video, don't watch it. I don't really care. - TELKINS10

[@patrickmba7638]

Nice man! I think I'll also fit. Thanks for the info

[@servicefailed]

mad props! she's going to want her own bike before long. she did great for not having hardly any seat time! and as for the gear yeah i would suggest she wear it out on the road but in the driveway at near walking speed i see nothing wrong with it cause she seems like a confident woman and wouldnt quit the time she fell over ;)

[@kwarnisplayer]

No gloves or jacket? Road rash ain't fun...

[@facumanu09]

Excellent, nice ride! all i can say to you is be focus all the time, clear your mind and enjoy the ride. If you can, you should go to a track day and learn from the most experienced drivers, always wear protection, if u can full equipment. don´t abuse from the rear brake, and control the right wrist, lol i said i was only going to give you one advice! Be safe! have a good life!

I like this video so much, the first person shoot o a new bike, step by step since noob to average, its a cool video.... And a nice property

[@MissMan666]

She did fine :D

[@telkins10]

Quickhandedpanda gave some great advice. A 250r will make a great first bike for someone your size. And shifting on a motorcycle is different than stick shifting. Like panda said, it's easier. Just remember first is down, and the rest of the gears are up. You cannot skip past a gear so don't be worried about that. Get comfortable using your clutch (find the friction zone, and memorize where that is) in an empty parking lot or something before you ride. Best of luck! - telkins10

[@iamnadeemsultan]

she is still a better rider than me lol

[@SuperScootDude]

great little vid. gives a nice pov of a first time rider. she did well!

[@cameroncetani8088]

It would be better if she had a leather Jacket on but its ok.

[@xflowness]

LOL i did something very similar on my first ride. I was "test driving" a ninja 250 that i was going to end up buying, and had only basically driven a bike down the street before. Had some issues at first and ended up steering toward a gap between two signs.. had to decide between a tight turn and a tight squeeze. Picked the squeeze like you =] Enjoyed watching that part lol

[@LandCruisin]

teach her right and put some gear on her

[@davidelkins3826]

couple things wrong here: 1/ An old leather or outdoor jacket would be bear minimum--couple $ max 2/ Why did you not take her pillion up and down the lane first? She can look over yr shoulder and SEE what you are doing. 3/ I ALWAYS start with "learn to stop properly first" rear brake only....crazy 4/ Set a max revs for a newbie, show them on the pillion ride! Say "lets keep it below 4500rpm right?" 5/ At a standstill talk them through smooth gearchanges, step by step. 6/ On the pillion ride show the pillion how CLOSING the throttle will near enough stop the bike and how to disengage the clutch as it approaches a stall. 7/ Before they are allowed on their own set up a quick start to stop markers- about 20 metres apart, get them to stop safely-it builds confidence so quickly. (also lowers yr heart rate as they have yr new bike!) Biking is great fun and yes like everyone else I have hit the deck a couple times but as with life, its not so much how life beats you down its about what you can take and how you respond. Two days after I was hit by 2 trucks and was squeezed under one of them I was back on the road (different bike my CBR RRY was not good). Also --get more training AFTER passing yr test- a license is no excuse not to learn how to survive out there- good luck to all you newbee's! DaveBlade

[@telkins10]

Congrats man! Motorcycles are a blast, regardless of how old they are. Be safe man, and congrats again! - telkins10

[@itsmejeff7522]

she's pretty good for first time riding..confidence is also important..and be aware when you hit the road..no matter how careful you are..if someone behind you or in front of you is not careful.there is always a possibility. of accident.,.

[@Skeebled]

impressive! she did a great job. also that for a 300 that bike looks sweet

[@Fuuraisen]

Good job. But if you take the MSF course, and i was told the same thing as well....Keep your fingers/hand off the clutch until you need to shift.

[@Mike12r1_Official]

this 300 looks really nice, def better than the older kawaskis

[@snofiter]

Awesome first Ninja Ride!! Hope she has many more!

[@roguewuulf]

That was great, could see that the longer she was on it the more confident she was. Great job, you should be riding like a pro now. Ride safe and God bless.

[@ModDangFc]

safe place to ride a motorcycle. I saw a red ninja 300 at a dealer and it so tempting.

[@turgsh01]

I really hope I'm not that nervous on my first time, lol (I have about the same amount of experience and am about to get my license), but I think she did really well though. Buying a new Ninja 300 all black with ABS tomorrow, I really hope nothing bad ever happens to it or me on it...

[@DailYxDosE]

man so lucky. im getting that bike in 6 months for my 18 birthday :)

Been riding my ninja for about a month now, got my M2, took the safety training course which was really easy for me (not for everyone else though cuz they had no riding experience)... I still haven't dropped my bike yet which I'm quite happy about cuz if ever I do drop it, I'll probably cry, lol.

Yea, the color scheme on the SE is pretty sweet! I would buy the 650r before I chipped out $6500 for the Ninja 300 SE though.

[@telkins10]

I'm not sure I understand your question, but you could probably go as fast as she was in 2st gear on a 250 or 450 dirtbike pretty easily. She was probably only going around 35mph.

[@matter0464]

I got a black 300 at the beginning of the year, my first street bike and i was 17 at the time, my parents where just as nervous haha.

[@turgsh01]

I'm 28 and my parents are freaking out right now, lol... I don't think it matters how old you are, your parents are still going to be nervous with their kid riding a motorcycle.

[@thewaynemlarson]

MSF course needed. Look into your turns, wear the gear. Got a great beginner bike so keep riding and be safe!

[@gyice]

It's a good size Bike make sure that she likes it and get her to always shift up to as high a gear as possible while she is learning. The big thing is to give her lot's of time before she has to try traffic and build confidence.

[@86bmxbobo]

I've never riden a motorcycle but I thought the front brake was the most used brake?

[@user-gk6vw7ck8z]

johnaldinio sometimes not necessarily though, since most times it causes it to launch the rider forward causing accidents, it's usually manual breaking like downshifting and coming to a stop using your feet or using the front brake gently as coming to a stop at a red light or something

[@thatmanstumototours2270]

Counter steer(opposite of a quad),head/chin up and look where you want to go.Turning will be a lot simpler.

[@telkins10]

If that is out the door, then yea that's a pretty good price! MSRP is $4799. It's a fun bike, but if you're looking for power this may not be for you...just depends on what you are looking for. - telkins10

[@BikesOmega]

I'd like to test ride one. Good color choice but I agree with people on the gloves. Look up some hand injuries from motorcycle accidents and I'm sure you'll find a pair after.

[@jauh25]

I'm a short guy, i'm 5'4" and weight 135 pounds and i've ridden yamahas R6 and R1, and also a honda cbr 1000rr very comfortably, this bike is perfectly good for a person that size and that weight
