    Very nice bike. I'm looking at the 650 to be my upgrade after the Ninja 300. Can't wait to feel the difference!

    ESR (Eat Sleep Ride)

    Well, I'm enjoying it so far and I don't think riders (at least the sane ones) are the demographic group to be involved in catching pokemon. To me, its got a lot of good tracking info and like Joe Bass said, the crashlight feature is very useful to have. If anyone wants to add me on there , my...

    ESR (Eat Sleep Ride)

    Hey guys, I just discovered this great app called ESR (Eat Sleep Ride), where it lets you log all your rides and has some challenges you can participate in, as well as link up for group rides. Is anyone here using ESR? How has your experience been with it?

    Anyone here have a Shoei GT air or Icon Alliance GT?

    I can confirm the Alliance GT is a loud and noisy helmet but it's a great helmet. I keep getting compliments on the looks of it, even from non-riders. I have it in a matte black finish with a gold drop down visor. It helps with the sun a lot, but it is nowhere near quiet to answer your question.

    New rider looking to finesse cruising in 1st gear and 2nd

    Thanks guys! All of the advice here has been great and this exactly why I joined this forum lol Getting some theory to help me out with my "practicals" out on the road. So, from what I'm getting here is that I'm going to have to stay away from closing the throttle completely in 1st and 2nd, get...

    New rider looking to finesse cruising in 1st gear and 2nd

    Thanks for all the helpful replies so far guys! I'll see how the ride tomorrow to work goes with not closing the throttle completely and controlling the speed by dragging the rear brake.

    New rider looking to finesse cruising in 1st gear and 2nd

    That's what I did today for 40 minutes. I was at a school parking lot with nobody to bother me or laugh at my bike lurching back and forth.

    New rider looking to finesse cruising in 1st gear and 2nd

    I'm not talking about the upshift from 1-2 and popping the clutch, because I know the bike is going to jerk forward.I know how that works cause I drive a car that's stick lol. No, I'm talking about being in 1st or second gear and slowly rolling off the throttle to decelerate while braking. The...

    New rider looking to finesse cruising in 1st gear and 2nd

    Hello everyone! Looking for a bit of advice here on cruising at slow speeds in 1st and 2nd gear. Let me give a bit of an intro here before I begin. I am a new rider of approximately 2 months now on a Ninja 300. I have taken the M2 course with RTI, where I learned many of the basics of riding and...

    The Ninja 300 is a very good bike to start off on. This is my second week of riding on the roads and the little thing is so responsive in handing around turns and braking, that I'm thoroughly impressed. It's very forgiving on beginner mistakes that I bet would not go over so smoothly on a 600+...

    Weather is good today, so first thing in the morning I went to the garage, changed my oil and then set out for a little ride on my street. It felt awesome. The Ninja 300 is so responsive and the braking is there. I really need to get better on my shifting from 1st to 2nd though lol

    Step by Step guide from getting your licence to buying your bike

    Do they actually check the retail value of the bike somewhere or can you and the seller undervalue it on the UVIP?

    Thanks for the welcomes guys! I got quoted $1405 for liability plus comprehensive but no collision or $1752 for full coverage. I'm leaning towards getting the $1405 liability plus comprehensive option. To me it sounds like a fair price, what do you guys think? Again I'm 25, on a 2015 Ninja 300...

    I pulled the trigger! I am now a proud owner of a green Ninja 300. Just got to get the safety done, buy out the insurance policy and plate it. Can't wait to start riding this thing!

    Hey all, So I'm going this week to check out this bike here: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes/kitchener-waterloo/kawasaki-ninja-300-2015/1247717925?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true Any opinions? Things I should look out for? I printed off a sweet "used motorcycle inspection" checklist...

    Types of Coverages for a new rider

    The difference between full coverage and comprehensive is pretty big for me and the difference between comprehensive and liability only is much smaller, so it makes sense to at least go with comprehensive. Now I've been told that with financing a bike, you will need to do full coverage. So I may...

    Types of Coverages for a new rider

    Hello all, I looked around for an answer to my question, but couldn't find one by searching. What I'd like to know is, what type of insurance would you recommend to a new rider. I'm looking into buying a 2014/2015 Ninja 300 and I've gotten three different insurance quotes from Paul from Surnet...

    Solid tips, thanks PrivatePilot! The reason I am more inclined to buy from a dealership is because the bike is stock and looks clean compared to the annoying bright pink wheeled Ninjas I see on private sales on Kijiji these days with a laundry list of mods. Also, the only white Ninja 300 I've...

    Does that go for dealerships as well? I found a nice bike I'd want to check out at VOSS motors. Anyone know anything about that dealership?
