Sorry if this has been asked before but I want to sell my r6 and get the new ninja 300. I take the freeway for about 60 miles every other day and soon it will be everyday. Will the ninja 300 be fast enough for the freeway stock?

He's back!

And sensible?

WTF is going on here brah?

Robert: Yes.

Jiggs: Prolly got scared of the R6

missed you too. nothings going on, the new 300s just look pretty awesome
Robert: Yes.

Jiggs: Prolly got scared of the R6

no. and thanks

no.

no? I was answering your question. Yes it will be fast enough for the freeway.

If you change to a 15T front sprocket (~$15) the speedo will be accurate, and it will be just fine. It's already better than the 250 for freeway riding without any modifications.

Still slower than my 250 though

Robert, are you a coke mule? I mean it makes sense, under 18 and money out the asshole

I meant no I did not get scared of the r6. Do you know if the insurance will be more expensive than the 250? A little difference is not a big deal. And what will be different as far as performance goes if I change to the 15T sprocket?

Lol one of the reasons im getting the 300 is because of money so no.

I would assume the insurance will be a little higher, but idk because I don't own a 300.

From my experience changing gearing on my 250, the 15T will be a nice compromise. That's also what was stated in that thread. So it's likely going to feel just fine, but don't expect it to be a rocket like your R6

Ok, thanks for all the info man. I'll be getting the 300 unless the insurance is more expensive by a lot.

I just got my 300 and have it insured with Progressive for $366 a year down in New Orleans. This is with 0 years riding experience, clean record for the last 3 years, and over 25. Hope it helps.

thanks and good job keeping a clean record:thumbup:

Why are you selling the R6?

Not only is my 250 faster than Jiggles', it doesn't run into cars either!

Plenty of power for freeways. It does not have uber illegal speed power of a super sport.

People that ask these questions need to realize you can push the engine at the top of the RPMs ALL DAY LONG.

Your question was pretty well answered up top.

This is just out of my curiosity. How are you afford these bikes? You brought a brand new 2012 Ninja 250R, totaled it in a month and bought an R6 for about 4-5 months. You now want to buy a brand new Ninja 300R and you're still a teenager. What do your parents say about this. Do they give you whatever you want?

PS: Did you get "bored" with the R6 as well?

R6's fit me pretty nicely, of the 4 major SS's..

I'll trade ya my 2011 and some cash, which you can go 5mins from my house and buy a 300 with!!!

I still am amazed that some people think these bikes are not fast enough for the freeway. Maybe it depends on the freeway? I commute daily on an 04 250 and could regularly maintain 80-90 with a taller gear ratio. The 300 will easily do so, and I'll be doing so once I get further into break-in and put on a 15T front.

did the op really ask if the 300 will work on the freeway?

the 250 works perfectly fine..i can easily pass anything and everything with stock everything...surely the 300 will be even better, ya think?

I'd love to see a picture of this kid on any of these bikes ;) haha I love trolls.

Now I am completely pissed. I just bought a '12 250 because of the insurance prices. I had my eye on a white ninja 300, but the deal breaker was the insurance. I am 30 yrs old, clean record over the last 3+ years, 0 years riding experience.

The cheapest I was able to get was through Progressive (via USAA) for about $650/yr. Now, I know that isn't extremely expensive, but was not in my budget for now because I am paying for insurance all at once. The '12 250, I got for $5400 out the door with an 1 year of extended warranty, and insurance was $350/year full coverage.

The funny thing was that I got a quote for a '13 250 and it was the same as a '12. So I don't see why the 300 was so much for me. This is in El Paso, TX.

You completely changed the decision of your bike over $300/yr?

I agree $300/yr doesn't sound like enough to tip the scale to me. You would make up that amount in resale I bet.

did the op really ask if the 300 will work on the freeway?

the 250 works perfectly fine..i can easily pass anything and everything with stock everything...surely the 300 will be even better, ya think?

The 300 will not work on the freeway. With my 250 I was in real danger at 80mph if someone tried to jump in my lane. I could only quickly accelerate to 90. Now that I got the SV I can quickly go from 80 to 100 in the same amount of time and I am sooooo much safer cruising around a hazard at 100mph. I still can't believe Kawi sold so many of these unsafe bikes over the years.

You completely changed the decision of your bike over $300/yr?

LOL, well, not just the $300/yr for insurance. The total cost of the bike plus insurance would have cost me another $1500 in total costs. That wasn't in my buget at that time. I suppose I could have waited, but my aging Ninja500 was making me more impatient.

I have no regrets with buying the 250, fuel injection aside...lol. I'd like a 300, but I don't know if I'd like to get one for my next one, or just move up to a liter bike. For what I am looking for in the 300, I could easily get out of a liter bike (fuel injection/sportier look and feel) and then some.

BlackNinja8 lolwut? You trollin?

Whut...is he serious? How does one say "safe" and "travel 100 mph" in the same sentence? (I'm still recovering from my concussion so I can't tell if I'm reading that as serious or a joke.)

I am no insurance expert but, is it possible that the higher rate is because this bike is new and insurance companies don't have an idea/experience/research on riders/accidents/parts?

I just can't fathom why insurance on a 300 would significantly cost more than a 250 otherwise. *shrugs*

Cuz it's newer

Cuz it's newer


Kinda funny and sort of related. I recently traded my 2010 Civic Si (sporty 4dr) for a 04 F150 crew cab. Called progressive to switch things up and they told me my insurance would go up with the older used, beat to hell truck that was completely paid for.

I said wait? WTF? They said oh, well newer cars have better safety features, I said its an O4 truck, thanks but no thanks i'm calling geico. I did and they instantly were hundreds lower than progressive on my truck with better coverage, but were always higher than progressive for my Si?

its a strange world

I know insurance varies wildly for different situations, but damn... I am now paying $84/yr for a new 300 with full coverage at Progressive(via USAA). I am married, 33 y/o, with a no fault bike wreck and 2 speeding tickets. $500 deductible and multibike discount with 4 years experience.

Comparing what people pay for insurance on their bikes isn't really comparable and there are too many variables

Sort of like dynoing your bike and trying to compare your dyno to someone elses

Poor attempt at sarcasm I guess...

Okay, just checking :o sarcasm is kind of hard to get across at times, especially when I'm nodding off after a run.

The 250 is good, but it did need a couple minor updates which the 300 has.

I just wanted to be extra sure, and after riding it on the freeway for nearly an hour I am.

It is higher but not a lot. Maybe it's the extra 15 hp? I'm not sure either.

take a break

Yes I did, thanks. how have you been?

Robert why did you decide to sell your R6 and get a 300?

Judging by his posts on the R6 forum, it seemed to have a lot of problems? I mean it was apparently leaking a mysterious liquid just from parking it...

Oh okay that would make sense that he would want to get rid of it then. Man he's had 3 bikes in a pretty short time. I'm jealous.

AND he's still in high school

Andddd he makes money selling fake gaming profile things...

I am disappoint

The concept of buying and selling virtual items is something I will never understand... good for him if people actual bought his stuff though haha.

Lol the Chinese gold farming business must be a good one. Otherwise he is very fortunate to have such generous parents.

Oh yes, chinese gold farmers get rich off this ****. In diablo 3 they basically buy tons of accounts and then run bot programs 24/7 collecting gold, they then sell that gold for real money on 3rd party sites. The goal for them is to make enough profit over the $60 cost of the game before getting banned and many are extremely effective at it

Holy f I was not aware. I've never been a computer gamer, only played console games like Halo before so the only virtual sale I'd ever heard of that made lots of money was the $26,500 virtual island.
Make sense though that if they buy and bot a lot of accounts at once they could make decent money.

Island: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4104731.stm

For sure, I'd estimate that each bot account is able to collect on average (in terms of gold and items) between 20-100mil per day. The current rate of gold in D3 is about $0.40/mil and if each computer multi boxes 4 accounts at a time. So if each account can bring in $40/day and each computer brings in $160/day (I'm not sure what the limit of multi boxing on one computer is) and lets say you have 30 computers well you're total possible daily profit is $4,800 if you have 120 accounts and a very good botting program, or $960 on the low end.

They do get accounts banned though and have to buy new accounts but in the end they profit while doing virtually nothing besides running a gold selling site and paying the electricity to run their profit machines

So you're telling me some of these guys potentially make about $1.7 million a year in revenue. That's insane. -_____-

...clearly I'm doing this whole working thing wrong. :confused:

Geez, and I thought what I do for a living didn't contribute anything meaningful to society or humanity at large....

Wow. An actual working economy based entirely on fiction and irrational behavior.

Oh, wait... I just described the fashion, personal care, alcohol, tobacco and fast food industries.

Never mind.

After trying to figure it out for many years I have come to this conclusion: people spend money on many things that are not virtual but it is pretty much similar. Consumables last for a brief period but of course it replenishes your energy. For some people, trying to 'farm' for those millions vs paying $5(or whatever the rate is) is worth it. If say, it takes 20 hours to make 20 million, but it takes them 5 minutes to make $5 that can buy the 20 million then they rather do that. This is what I have gathered from asking people I have played with as to why they spend money for something virtual. In the end, it is worth what you are willing to pay for it. If there was not a demand, then there wouldn't be sellers - basics of capitalism.

:whathesaid: Too funny.

He scraped the Turbo Busa plans for a pimped out Diavel.

CHILL OUT GUYS, Lol. Jealousy is all over the air. As a fellow High school student (senior), Dont listen to these guys hahaha, your smart for selling things like that. I think any one would jump on the chance if they had the time or knew how to do it too. And Joe, dude you actually went as far to go and search him? No offence man, but nvm.... I dont want to be a dick.

Do you even know why they're making fun of him? It has very little to do with him being in high school... Yes, they could act differently and be all mature about it and ish. But that's no fun now is it?

Also, ya I would say there's a bit of jealousy going on as well. I mean I stated it outright in an earlier post that I am indeed jealous. Who wouldn't want to have their parents buy them whatever expensive, dangerous stuff they wanted when they were in high school?

Not jealous. I just have a habit of idk, actually working for my money :lol:

But hey, you know the saying; a fool and his money are soon parted. If you can make $$ off of idiots who actually spend money on imaginary things, go for it. More riding time for you I guess.

HAHAHA dont worry your in highschool and more mature then half these guys. Picking on high schooler, sad. LOL

no wut matur ppl du? by a bike totl it to weekz l8 n den by a biger one

Lol I know his history, totaled a 250 got an r6 and is now getting a 300. And if hes 16 then he still has alit to learn, as I do. So if he bought an r6 after, he could be imature. But hes 16. Yall are well over your 20s. Not bashing on yall and I know most of you are kidding. but after a point im sure hes getting anoyed and probably wont want help on this forum. Jiggles I know your sarcasim and jokes, I love it and you are just being yourself . Same thing chriss , all you have doneso far is help him. That wasnt intended to you.

Bro. It's the ****ing internet.

Haha excactly my point bro.
