Ninja 300 Track Day - Las Vegas Motor Speedway

[@pedrobanzainunes8851]

Awesome riding dude!!! Love to see these videos, very educational to those that think big is best! The 300 might not have the same power on the straights, but the lower weight makes the bike more nimble and balanced , the braking also happens later due to lower weight. Again, well done sir 👏👏👏

[@smoke05s]

Once you get rolling on these little bikes and can take your line, you have so much more speed on the corner , then that's your starting point for the straight. Some times its 20 mph faster than them. It takes a while for them to build the speed back up so it is not that much slower on the straights once you get rolling, even on a big track. If you can get a big enough gap in the corner and can hold them off for one straight thats all she wrote for those big bike slow guys. In the faster groups the big bike guys are cornering like you are on the smaller bike, thats when they are truely faster. Until then you are learning more skills (better lines) and having way more fun. . using fewer tires, using less chains and sprockets . for way less!

oh my racing w those mountains has gotta be peakkk

[@promarshal532]

You nailed it, you proved it, you cleaning big bikes like a dirt, love from❤️ india

[@cameronshine3465]

The ride of the centenary , love it.

[@EBthere]

This was outstanding!! Love watching these 300's and you do extremely well with them.

[@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263]

I just got my son a Ninja 300. Nice ride on track man.

[@BestMoneyWasted]

Sorry I’m late to the party seeing this gem 💎 quite impressive. 👌

[@cameronshine3465]

i love the way that you ride because front tire tire lasts for 10+ years.

[@prem1umfs]

Insane vid, nice riding man!

[@Igxslash]

Sick video mate🔥 , you're a phenomenal rider Edit : why you only have 4 subs 😢 you deserve more

[@alissonmelo1709]

Way more for sure. I do watch videos every day but I never see something like this one, it’s more exiting then 1000cc races.

[@ryano4602]

Your lines are clean bro! Which group do you ride with? Is that from a weekend with Apex Assassins?

[@NickLearn776]

Thanks man, appreciate it. This was in B group a couple years ago with Apex Assassins

[@tabcreedence6553]

Nice run, subbed!

[@CafeRacer-o7s]

Brother that exhaust sounds beautiful which exhaust is that? I’d like to copy you and get one for my 15’ 300 , I’m also planning on making it a race bike in honor of my mother 🙏🏽🙌🏽

[@NickLearn776]

@CafeRacer-o7s it's a full Yoshimura system. Couldn't tell you which one, but it was a little obnoxious, lol

[@CafeRacer-o7s]

@ thanks bro, it sounds amazing though, I really like it 🙌🏽

[@davegeisler7802]

Sure you cant hang on the straights with the Supersports , but the 300 will shred the corners like nobody business

[@NickLearn776]

Nothing quite like passing a liter bike on the outside!

[@davegeisler7802]

@@NickLearn776 indeed 👍

[@pedrobanzainunes8851]

Eh eh eh true

[@kenneyd1622]

Why do you have the one bar pushed in on the perch and the other right at the end? Is there some kind of benefit to doing that?

[@NickLearn776]

@kenneyd1622 No advantage. The right clip-on is longer than the left. The extra sticking out on the right side is merely to compensate for the extra length to make the grips be equally spaced from the perch. So maybe a slight disadvantage because the right side is an ounce heavier than the left? 😂

[@iiFuture]

I swear riding a low cc bike fast is fun as hell.

[@NickLearn776]

There's something to be said for a bike that becomes a unicycle on corner exit too, but I agree. Another small bike is in my future for sure

[@robson3r193]

Do you use it on the track?Has she ever had a problem with the crankshaft?

[@jimwuhan5336]

you are like a pro.

[@alissonmelo1709]

Bro 👏👏👏👏👏👏 bro 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 that is the best video I have seen. What aftermarket parts do you have in your bike? Is the suspension stock? I am thinking about to buy a wrecked 300 turn it to a track bike .

[@NickLearn776]

Thank you. The previous owner raced it so it had pretty much everything. AK20 forks, penske shock, braided lines, cheap race fairings, stripped everything that wasn't needed for weight, etc. Highly suggest that idea. They are a TON of fun to run. Teaches you a lot.

[@raymadani270]

You are a better rider than them.

[@PedrinhoPSG]

HI!WHAT KIND OF TIRE DID YOU USE ONE THIS DAY?

[@NickLearn776]

Dunlop Q3+

[@SardineCanSuccess]

How long until a ninja 300 feels underpowered at the track?

[@NickLearn776]

Bottom line, you're never going to keep up with a higher displacement bike on any form of straight, but that's not what a small bike is about. The whole point of a small displacement bike is to force you to work on and find speed in the technical bits since you can't make up for bad technique with a heavy throttle hand

[@NickLearn776]

I guess the better answer is that you're asking the wrong question. It's always underpowered compared to other bikes, but that's exactly the point. Unless you're an expert-level racer, there's no "outgrowing" a 300 on track. Yeah you could go faster with a 600/1k, but you could also go faster on that 300 with some more seat time. 99% of the time the rider is the limiting factor, not the bike

[@pedrobanzainunes8851]

Nick, i agree with you on almost everything! Of course the rider makes all the difference, but corner entry speed of a lightweight bike is higher, i almost risk to say , and faster going off on some tracks, they will also brake later due to lighter weight. But in general you are correct! This was "only" a 300 4stroke.... If it was a 250... 2 stroke.... With you riding it... You would have made it look even easier.

[@pedrobanzainunes8851]

On that twisty section you were killing them! You can easily see the weight difference, they take forever and struggle to tilt the bike from left to right and back to left , while you just flyby !! 😂 Awesome!

[@NickLearn776]

​@pedrobanzainunes8851 A former racer told me once it's not hard to go fast. Just go fast in the fast bits. You can really see that in action on those esses. High speed corners are where you can REALLY make up time

[@sebinsmart6755]

Exhaust name ?

[@NickLearn776]

Its a full Yoshimura system

[@Apophis_SOML]

What clip on are those?

[@NickLearn776]

Woodcraft

[@InstinctsFN]

Is this stock gearing

[@NickLearn776]

No, I can't remember what it was at the time though

[@vfrfandom3904]

It can be a smaller rear sprocket that creates a taller gearing ratio that's best for high-speed situations without many tight turns feels like wide-open desert racing.

[@AakibKhan-ns6bh]

Which tyre it is bro

[@NickLearn776]
