@FRFM008 жыл бұрын
hey man, I dont have the regular CBR1000RR I bought the SP Repsol 2015. Its a very good bike but you need tire size 190/60 rear w matching front profile to really corner it. The power is unreal and very smooth, im very happy. mind you the regular cbr is very different seating and position wise. The bike feels a little "top heavy" but it is really a dreamy smooth bike, the dash is nice too. Go for it! I came from riding a Triumph daytona for 4-5 years, before that, gixxers, 400s, etc

Daniel Bocotan my cbr does 128kph but it takes awhile to get it past 112kph. From what I've seen, the Ninja 250 has better higher end speed so I'd say it'd get up there, but wouldn't take hills well and would take awhile. Dunno why you'd be going that fast on a little 250 to begin with.

I can relate to the feeling of trying to deploy all the power you've got in your vehicle and then having the amount of power scare you into letting go of the throttle long before you've let the vehicle give you everything it's got. My first time was in my Celica when flooring the throttle in a tunnel. The combination of that mind blowing sound amplified by the tunnel and the kind of speed and acceleration I've never experienced before made for one the best feelings I can imagine. But it must be a whole new ball game to do it on a full on sports bike than an entry level sports car. I'm planning to find out if that suspicion is correct after a couple of years when I'll hopefully acquire one of these.

People saying 250-1000 is a bad idea should keep in mind this bike is probably smoother and easier to ride than a 600 in some respects. Especially if you consider that buying a 600 used you will most likely buy a really bad bike, whereas litre bikes are much more respected. I have ridden a 600 and a litre bike and I consider the litre bike easier. Smoother, less spiky, more predictable (power everywhere, way easier to get the handle for it because it gives as much power as you tell it to, no less, no more). Might be just me.

My first bike was a Yamaha DT80 (74cc) for two years, when I was 17. Twenty two years after I passed my bike full licence and straight away I bought my new Fireblade. It is such an easy bike to ride. The power is there for any crazy stuff you want to do, but you have to take it easy. You will learn, that the faster you go the less time for correct any mistakes made and the easier to crash, big time. I have done some track days for the last two years. It does help you very much to know your bike.

I did the same exact thing. I bought a ninja 250, got tired of it after a year & a half, went to the dealership to buy a used CBR600RR that I had seen advertised there only to learn it had just been sold. Long story short a salesmen talked me into the CBR1000RR. I was nervous & in love the entire ride home but it didn't take as much getting used to as I though it would. These are tremendously forgiving & easy to ride bikes, as long as you have a responsible right wrist and some common sense.

Tom, don't know if you read the comments often, but I gotta tell you, I feel the same way, with your experience in the video, now that I own one. It's docile if you want it to be, but can turn into beast mode when you start giving it gas. Coming from a 10' zx6r, it's a very welcoming change, and a lot more comfortable too. Also agree, that for a complete newbie, this bike would be a very very bad choice, while cruising is fine, like you said, getting off the line is a bit tricky. Cheers

I learned how to ride on a 93 CBR 600F2 and it was a decently forgiving bike to learn on. The first couple of weeks were interesting but I never binned it and learned a lot on that bike. I remember at the time (remember this was 1997) when I was deciding what to try out I had the same thoughts as you and was considering buying an EX 250 (similar to your Ninja 250 back then) but decided, wisely, that I'd quickly get the hang of the 250 and then be miserably bored with it. So I decided to start with a 600 and even though the learning curve was steeper, I ended up having that bike for 6 years before moving on to a 2005 CBR 600RR. It wasn't until I had mastered two 600's that I finally tried out my 2006 ZX-10R which was silly fast. In fact, I sold that bike about 5 years ago and am about to get back into riding again and have decided to go with another 600 as the liter bike was simply too much. The 600's are still plenty fast enough to have good fun on but remain manageable enough to not be so worried about all the time...
