I have the same bike I’m at 2900 miles right now, about to put it up for the winter but it’s been nothing but absolute fun, can’t wait to get more gear and more mods next season

It’s a great bike, I’m hoping to get another month, weather isn’t too cold yet so fingers crossed 🤞 thanks for watching. I plan on adding couple more mods next season, changing the clutch and brake levers out, maybe some better grips on the handles too

I’m going to start my riding journey next season and I was initially going to start off with a dual sport of some sort but the more I watch your videos and other ninja 500 videos I’m more convinced of starting on this

For jeans I have the Alpinestars Cult 8 jeans. The kneepad location is adjustable, three different pockets. The highest pocket works well for me, I'm short. They're a bit pricier but they're worth it. Comfortable and stretchy too. Available hip armor sold separately, also low profile and comfortable.
@MotoTSJ2 ай бұрын
Hmm thanks! I’ll check those out. I like the casual jean look, It spent $150 for jeans that fit well when standing, but when your on the bike they move up so much and defeats the purpose of having a knee pad lol. I Was disappointed in them but I’ll invest in some other gear next season. It’s my own fault for not doing more research on them.

Just got a 2024 ninja 500. Red but not SE. 46 miles for 5.5k pretty happy about it. Guy got it from police auction. No key, no title, and no clutch lever for some reason. Now its clean title and perfect. All good to go now and drives awesome. The Lord has blessed me greatly with this ride.

Commented before on another of your vids--have a Gixxer. Dig the sincerity in your content. After doing some research, I made a "why the hell not" purchase of the 500 40th. Smaller and more comfortable than my Gixxer, and the retro livery got me. Great bike to make a pair. I am riding it a lot! So flickable! People who say they need more bike probably don't really know how to ride. The 500 is likely not the limiting factor. Enjoy your bike, bud!

Oh for sure man! I’ve been loving it, I got a lot to improve on, I plan on pushing myself hard next riding season! Hope to get a faster bike in 2026/2027! I for sure don’t know how to use all the potential of my bike at the moment.thanks and ride safe!
