As a new rider, I am a repeat offender of forgetting to cancel my turn signal. Great video!

It’s happened to me a few times haha. Thanks for the support!!

[@uimkilos]

@@MotoTSJ also good luck with the cyber security career! I've been in it for a little while and can attest that Sec+ is a really good cert to get!

[@MotoTSJ]

@@uimkilos thanks! I plan on getting that one first. I’d like to get my foot in the door of any IT related job by the end of this year, but I do have zero experience. I know my time will come with landing a job 🤙

[@MotoTSJ]

Also I will make a separate video on my new exhaust.

[@MotoTSJ]

Hello! How do you guys like this camera angle?

[@felipe-nt-d]

It looks great.

[@MotoTSJ]

@@felipe-nt-dsweet!

[@tagru4920]

Camera angle looks perfect, the next things you should be working on is maybe a higher resolution like 1440p and some type of blur to give a fast effect to the viewers... Im no expert but I know shutter speed or something changes like motion blur and depth of field stuff like that... Do some research on that stuff and it will make the video look and feel really nice

[@MotoTSJ]

@@tagru4920 thanks for the feedback! I am all for making these videos look even better. I’ll look into it and see what I can do

[@zahnyto709]

@@MotoTSJ Oh, yes even if you dont shoot at 1440p you should render the video at that resolution and put the bit rate at 90k or more to get a consistent image and not blurry, in camera settings defnly should be recording at least 30 frames, and in software enable constant bit rate

[@Kvng44]

Word of advice. When you are stopped at a light try and stay in 1st unless you are actually doing something and need to be in neutral. If a car comes up behind you and doesn’t notice you or simply isn’t paying attention, being in 1st will allow you to get out of there before you get hit. I made that mistake and got hit from behind my 3rd day riding. Tried to move but was in neutral so I couldn’t react fast enough. Also never assume anyone can see you. Congrats on graduating. Idk you, but I’m proud of you. Keep it up 🫡

[@destroyerofmen7521]

Heck yea man, congrats on graduating from college! Definitely deserves a new bike for that! Honestly for a month in you look pretty smooth. Be safe and ride your own ride my guy!

Such a pleasant video, friend. Congratulations on your graduation and well-deserved treat. I hear/see you doing all the right things. Throttle, brake, and bike control will kick on like a switch after seat time. Be safe. Rubber side down!

[@MotoTSJ]

Thank you for the feedback! I appreciate it. Slowing improving, it’s been a fun beginner experience so far! Can’t wait to look back on these videos down the road and see how much I’ve progressed. What bike do you have?

[@FlushNY]

@@MotoTSJ Currently, a 2016 GSX-R 750--been riding off and on for 20+ years. Started on a 300 way back when. I'm considering a Ninja 500 myself. A flickable, lightweight, COMFORTABLE (my old man body is begging; haha) sports bike that you can use the full range legally/safely for long rides is just plain fun! Plenty of upgrades as you progress. Enjoy that thing, bud. Stay safe.

[@MotoTSJ]

@@FlushNY the clip on handle bars do help with being more comfortable on longer rides! I’m still working on finding the right angle for my throttle hand, sometimes the wrist can get tired. I bet your Gsx 750 is fast! I appreciate the tips, very helpful. Ride safe 🤙

Something I've noticed with shifting on a smaller cc bike, once you hit about 10-12mph, shift to 2nd. 24ish mph, shift to 3rd. 45ish, shift to 4th. I've only had a 300 and that was back in 2016. But I rode about 1500 miles. It's so fun and free feeling!

[@MotoTSJ]

Thank you! Feels good to be done with school. Thanks for watching!

[@MotoTSJ]

@@alecmachovoe5142 oh yeah, definitely a lot of shifting which is fun, sometimes I’m jealous of bigger bikes where they can go 40 in 1st lol. Do you still ride?

[@BuggerIt90]

Good job, love the bike, just one suggestion, try sitting at the lights in first, and foot on the rear brake, in Australia we call if the ready position, so you’re ready to move at anytime, useful in the event of an emergency 🥰

[@MotoTSJ]

I appreciate the advice, I have heard I should do that by many people! Ride safe brother! Thanks for watching 🤙

[@taxevasion3046]

About the nut crunchers lol what ive found helps is to sit farther back in your seat than right up against the tank. Its more comfortable anyways and youre not squeezing your balls

[@MotoTSJ]

thanks! Yeah those bumps can definitely hurt lol. I’ll try that position out next time I ride!

[@twistededge7597]

im currently 16 and my dream has always been to get a motorcycle and just enjoy riding im starting a cashier job soon and i plan on saving up all my money my mom and dad are gonna help me with my insurance and half for the ninja 400 but i need to get my drivers license first but this video is a inspiration if that makes any since.

[@MotoTSJ]

Work as much as possible and you’ll be able to save up for when. I would recommend a ninja 400 or even the 500, it will be easier to find used ninja 400s though as the 500s just came out. Insurance will be a lot of younger drivers unfortunately but riding is so much fun. Thanks for watching!

Also try to stay in the left or right part of the lane, usually left side is better so you can be seen better. Riding in the middle can have debris u wanna ride in tire tracks

[@MotoTSJ]

Sweet, that makes sense. I will ride in the left side more often.

[@jonathanlongworth4463]

You should stay in lane position 1 more so cars turning from the left side if the road can see you better. I got my wife the base krt 500 a month ago and shes still in parking lots but thats a fantastic bike

[@andrewcarnegie5805]

Have you noticed any vibrations in the handlebars/footpegs/seat at 70+ mph, and/or at lower gears and/or above 6k rpm? I've read such things on reviews, but some say it's not that bad (unlike on the 650 where it's unbearable). I ask because I will be doing a lot of riding on the highway and 6k rpm 75 mph is the sweet spot for cruising ... However if it's only in gear 1-3 then maybe I can tolerate it while passing cars. Otherwise if it's buzzy and vibey I'm afraid my hands will go numb after an hour and it will be a bad tourer.

[@MotoTSJ]

I have not noticed anything crazy but this is my first bike. I just did a 60 mile ride and no issues. At higher speeds it feels fine to me. Thanks for watching!

[@RyguyIQ]

I have the same exact bike and I love it, I have same exact exhaust aswell. The only bad thing I can say is that the fucking gear shifter feels liek hard to kick up when going into higher gears, like I kick it and it doesn’t move up. This is my 2nd bike btw 6 months of riding, u experiencing same issues (never dropped it either)

[@MotoTSJ]

Thanks for watching and the tips! Great choice, this bike is beautiful.

[@kidlo2050]

I wish i would of demo more bikes at motogp this year. I was gone demo this one but I own a cfmoto 450 so i didnt see the point.

Could you do it next year? How do you like your cfmoto 450? Thanks for watching!

[@kidlo2050]

@MotoTSJ the cfmoto 450ss is a good bike. I bought it new September last year and had no problems at all. Aftermarket support, parts, and resale value is only reason I wouldn't recommend getting one. Yes, anyone can demo the bikes at cota during motogp. Cfmoto, kawasaki, suzuki, yamaha, and even aprilia let you ride a v4. All you need is a helmet and gloves. I had demo the gsx8r and I love it.

[@FujisamaProductions]

Very nice bike man. I’m debating my first bike. Either R3 Or ninja 400/500

[@MotoTSJ]

I was in the same boat. I was looking at those 3 options, I went with the Ninja 500 because of the price, the dealers near me wanted an outrageous price for the r3, and they didn’t have the color scheme I wanted. Plus the insurance price was cheaper with the N500 than the R3. R3 is more sportier as the handle bars are much lower compared to the clip on handle bars for the N500. Either of the 3 bikes will be a great choice! Thanks for watching!

[@FujisamaProductions]

@@MotoTSJ sweet thanks man.

[@MotoTSJ]

@@akmankalash what color is your bike? My dream bike is the ZX10R! That is once I get more experience under me and a few years down the road

[@mrstatictunes]

This motorcycle has a wet clutch so it won't burn up by holding the clutch lever in. It's good to hold the clutch in when you're stopped and check your mirrors. This allows you to take off quickly from a stop if somebody comes up behind you quickly. If you're neutral, you won't have time to put it in first and will get slammed into.
