Any motorcycle owners out there?

That bike doesn't look like a dual purpose to me. I don't see turn signals or mirrors or a place for a license plate.

Not a good idea if you ask me.

The blindspot thing isn't true. You can't turn your head very far with a helmet on and the visor has limited peripheral vision, nor can you turn it very fast because you'll throw too much weight and begin to wobble on your bike.

Not all bikes have a manual transmission, but they tend to last longer, work better, and have better gas mileage if you get a manual. To shift, you squeeze in the clutch on your handle bar, and kick down on a foot petal to up-shift, and lift up with your toe to downshift. Then you balance the throttle and clutch much like you do in a manual tranny car to take off.



This is your clutch:

And your shifter petal:

Notice he's lifting up with his toe, that means he's downshifting

a manual transmission doesn't last longer than a automatic usually its about the same unless you have someone who doesn't know how to properly shift or they like to pop the clutch then the automatic will last far longer. the reason most people rather have a manual transmission is because its easier to work on, you can get in and out of corners\speed up much faster. the thing you said about gas milage is also true as long as you shift correctly but a inexperienced driver can easily waste more gas.

 

Yeah, our instructor taught us that. The Ninja doesn't display gears, it only tells you when you're in neutral. It doesn't show how much fuel you have either.

He raced motorcycles professionally for 5 years. Did Laguna Seca and all those famous tracks. He was a cool guy.

The only super sport bike I know that displays gear is the Aprilla SV4, amazingly it also shows settings to how high mono's can go and when it peaks. I've only ever ridden few super sports but there should be others out there that have display.
My bike only shows km/hr, rpm, temperature and time which is pretty much all you need. This be the CBR1000RR

But yeah as said earlier, after a couple months of casual riding the only time you'll be looking at your meter is to see if it's on neutral And to check fuel if your bike displays Fuel.

You'd look like a massive prick riding that thing about.

Those style bikes are for old men. Wouldn't choose anything over a sports bike.

Call it an old mans bike if ud like, young lady, but it wont make your bike any more of a mans bike.

Sports bike have - speed.
Hog bikes have - Power, A beautiful Sound, and are #1 in American motorcycle sales.

And before you get your panties in a twist, im just fuckin with ya, the man makes the bike, the bike dont make the man. But honestly, if you think that a Harley is to much of an old mans bike, instead of a hog, try a chopper....

17 on a sport bike? Better get some insurance quotes before you get your hopes up.

Awarness will keep you safe. If you respect the road/traffic/bike/speed you'll be fine. I have been on two wheels for over 7 years (first bike was a 900cc beast) and the last 4 years of my life i have been cageless (car) so its completely doable and deffinately worth it.

But the best part about it....it becomes an addiction. Once you feel the bike "pull" itself out of a turn, you'll be hooked (or at least i was).
