No you're an edgy weekend warrior who thinks buying a motorcycle known for its ability to convert gasoline into noise without the annoying side effect of horsepower and everyone turning to look at you is admiring how "hardcore" and "badass" you are. But they're actually just irritated by the sheer amount of noise you're making.

Don't forget your leather chaps and skull bandanna when you ride that thing. Its a shame most places have helmet laws now so you can't wear your fedora while you ride.

There's a Ninja 300? I thought they went 250, 600, 1000. Anyway, sport bikes aren't exactly hip. You could get rid of all the fairings and guards, and get it as naked as possible, put on drag bars and a round lamp, and you'd have yourself a more /fa/ ride.

Yeah they're fuel injected, but are steel framed.

Going from 250 carb to 300 fuel injec, netted 8 hp gain midrange.

35 horsepower total at peak , but it's heavy as shit

A Ducati 996 which is 12 years old and considered slow makes triple that horsepower btw

What do you make of the Monster? A mate of mine has one and seems to relish the Ducati-ness of it, but I personally think they're the only Ducati that's ugly as fuck, and I love the naked style. It's disappointing, because they still SOUND like a Ducati, so I'll hear it coming and turn my head, expecting to see a sexy Italian mistress rolling past, and nine times out of ten it'll be that dog's breakfast of a thing.

Bobber or Cafe customs normally look best.
Depends on your style

[Anonymous No.8621951]

The most fun you can have with your pants on. And what comes to being /fa/ on a motorcycle, I think it doesn't matter that much. Just mind your helmet and gear somewhat match your bikes colour and you should be good. Of course a cruiser or a classic style bike is also nice. Won't go as fast or be as agile as this one, but you enjoy slow riding.

The colors of modern bikes are the worst part. It must be the taste of the demographic, but I wouldn't give a shit how fast, reliable, efficient, or easy to ride a bike is if the stock paint job looks like something out of the original fast and furious movie. If I couldn't get it in black or another muted color I'd just save up the extra cash to get it repainted the second I bought it.

Some people like the flashy/flame colors, while others just plastidip their entire bike and keep the original paint scheme. It's all user preference, but having a all black bike isn't that good riding at night, people already not paying attention, and if your bike is all black, they wouldn't even see you at all.

[emotive. No.8623231]

Is everyone scared shitless when they get their first bike? I've only ridden one when a friend was driving and I felt pretty scared, it's like you're so vulnerable but you're going so fast.

>>8623261
Wait you said that you ridden pillion? that without a doubt is the scariest fucking thing, especially when the rider of the bike is experienced and goes in the corners really well. When you ride a moto alone, its a whole different state, because you are in control, you are one with the bike. Try it out yourself, if you are so scared there plenty of options to go about, power/displacement/stance/etc. But try it out, it won't hurt you if you treat it the way it suppose to be treated.

Another thing is, it depends where you live and how people react to motorcycle riders around you.

Are you competent rider on a bicycle? The physics from a bike to a moto kinda transfer over with the addition to clutch lever and a actual engine. If you can ride a bicycle good, then go ahead and take MSF course, its 20 hours and in those 20 hours they will teach you how to to absolutely everything that you need in order to be a beginner rider.

If you can handle a bicycle, then a motorcycle would be second nature, granted it takes some time getting used to all controls and being comfortable. MSF is boss as it provides the best teaching experience for the money and you get a waiver that at any given time/ whether you decide to move to different state, you can get your Class M license, so think of it as a investment in a way.

Yes completed first time, and paid $350. It also depends on the state/time of the year on the pricing, but in NYC seeing as its one of the most expensive states to live in, its fairly fair priced imho.

In the package comes in everything, the only thing that you need to bring is bandanna/gloves if you want to use their helmet, if you have your own then by all means. They split the day into 2, 6 hours, then 12 hours. and last 2 hours are the test. first 6 hours you read the book/watch movies and get "pop quizzed" then next day comes you start on a bike, there 12-15 exercises that you all have to do and they consist of 30-45 min each.
