Bought myself the 300 for my birthday on monday, love it, I already put over 100 miles on it though, I will say, im already in need for more power, never rode a bike in my life until monday lol, I joined another forum that I just hated, not any bit welcoming at all what so ever, I do hope this site is better .. anybody from new york ?

Sirref · May 20th, 2014, 04:19 AM

I've never heard of "New" York. There is a York in PA I've heard of. They make Harleys there.

The learning curve on these bikes is pretty fast. A rider with amazing talent can conquer the limits within 100 miles. I would think the next step would be MotoGP.

cbinker · May 20th, 2014, 10:19 AM

Were they not welcoming, or were you not accepting of their advice that you dont need more power?

cadd · May 20th, 2014, 10:36 AM

Welcome! I lived in Bklyn for 30+ yrs. Mind me asking what the out the door price was for your 300?

Yes I am from NY. I was living in Middletown. I moved down here to NC now.

This forum is full of super friendly very helpful people.

Careful with that more power talk though haha
Serious 250 loyalists in this boat!

Ive had a blast on the 300 and I think it is excellent for Brooklyn Greater NY area traffic.

Ridding bigger bikes around there is torture cause you are always waiting at lights and pulling the clutch. You never get out of 3rd gear and it is basically ball sweat depressing.

The ninja300 will kill it up in the mountains.
I have some friends who ride Bear mountain and all that area.

They are all into their Liter bikes and protein shakes though so ….

Nothing against either of those things… But some people just love to razz on the Ninjette riders.

Welcome to the FOrum.

Lol guys, im not attacking the bike or the riders, every individual has their own opinion, speaking for myself and my personal preference, I want more power, the 300 is fantastic, and on the other forum I didnt even mention wanting more power. If anyone is nearby lets ride out! I dont know any friends who have bikes !

You are in luck now. There are 367,000 members on this forum and we are all your friend and we all (almost all ) have bikes. Unfortunately, there are only two members that live in your area. One guy's bike has a flat but the other person is a girl and she loves to ride fast and hard.

Thats awesome, I know nothing abiut bikes, just how to ride, so it will be great to hear and learn from everyone, hopefully im able to get in contact with those people near me.

Ninja Bob · May 20th, 2014, 07:23 PM

At least parking will be a lot easier. **** parking a car in Brooklyn. I've probably gotten ticketed more times than not. And if you want twisties, you're gonna have to toll out and make a weekend of it. Oi. I do not envy you.

JohnnyBravo · May 20th, 2014, 07:27 PM

Welcome to the forum!
I don't need more power, I will be getin a 636 one of these days for weekend riding though!

Oddly I was just singin somethin about is Brooklyn in the house an some rapper with clout that folks talkin about or some such

Welcome aboard. At the moment, I'm not on the right coast to go riding with you, but I have to throw out a quick note: I go on a weekly group ride quite regularly. On that ride, there are several kinds of bikes: vintage and modern Ducatis & BMWs, KTMs, Moto Guzzis, Triumphs, CBRs of varying displacements, and even an MV Agusta, just for starters. You get the idea. I've had tons of people on the ride consistently bug me to trade, or let them ride the Ninja 250. The number asking goes way up on weekend rides when we hit the twisties. Keep in mind, these are experienced riders on expensive bikes.

Just some food for thought. Sure, you may want more bike, but I'd hold onto the 300 for future use.

jesse4b11 · May 20th, 2014, 07:36 PM

Ive alreqdy gotten tickets on my bike so far, not happy about it, but riding is great so I dont care, it balances out because my car always gets window tint tickets.

Also once this bike is pqid off, hopefully by september, I want to finance a honda shadow.

Never getting rid of my bike, will just add to the collection. I only want a 600 because when I redline first and second, I havent gone anywhere, but I do love the bike, next is a honda shadow though, after that, hopefully 600. Love the 300 guys, I swear lol.

EternalNewb · May 20th, 2014, 07:48 PM

Good stuff, dude. Stinks about the tickets, but nice on aiming to add to the stable.

I can't fault you there. My buddies know I drool over their bikes all the time. One of these days, I'm swapping with a buddy to ride her Monster, then another couple who have KTM supermotos, and a Street Triple.

You had me at monster haha, thats awesome, my manager is buying an R6 so I'll be sure to let everyone know how I did on that, adding to the collection is the only way to go, since bikes are so cheap, I got a ticket for no registration sticker on my license plate, nobody ever told me you had to put the temporary one on it and tape it or a meter cop will ticket you when youre not around, im new to all this and the dealer didnt think it was impirtant to tell me I guess ? 3 hours after the ticket I lost my license plate on a 13 mile ride, no clue where it is, had to make a police report, and now ive been riding with no plate because I dont havr the time or money for a new one lol, my first week has been rough but once all that it settled I should be happy again.

EternalNewb · May 20th, 2014, 08:02 PM

Aw, man, that sucks! Be careful and hang in there. I lost two of the bolts that hold my license plate on, going through some bumpy roads that were stripped for resurfacing, but I tightened the remaining two, and they seem to be holding just fine. I do plan on throwing a couple more bolts on though, just to be on the safe side. DMV/local PD got me for something similar on my car. I guess they were doing the neighborhood, because a couple cars down the street had the tickets in their windows, too. I had paid the registration way back, but never received the sticker, and apparently the post office delivered it to the wrong address. =/ I explained that to them when they ticketed me for not having a current sticker, but they said there was nothing they could do, unless I proved to them that I did have the sticker on the car, in which case they could reduce the fine.

cbinker · May 21st, 2014, 07:06 AM

find some nice tight turning roads and ride.

I usually let girls ride my monster. How the world has changed.

Those little shoes look like they'd easily fit in your backpack so you can put em on when you get to work. ^_^

Klondike1020 · May 21st, 2014, 03:31 PM

I like the 300 - black is a good color. What is all the smoke behind you in that one photo? did it come with the bat mobile options?
smoke screen, oil slick, rocket power !!!!

I literally googled motorcycle crash wearing sneakers

first pic that comes up is raw meat where a sneaker used to be wrapped around a foot.

that being said… I am a hypocrite. I was ridding in leather nike sneakers yesterday.

I need to order some new boots for this hot weather

- mental note…. no more gory injury pics - Please people keep your feet. you don't want to end up the subject of one of my disturbing google searches
