On the other hands, I have seen a small tiny Thai girl handle that bike more smooth than manny of the old time riders I have met. That was impressive, and Im sure some here in TV know who it is as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current model looks like this I keep looking at this thing and wonder how many people was needed to get it on the center stand...!? Or is there a button for it...???? There is a used 2014 black one on sale now on Facebook with all the bells and whistles for just 545k baht..., not much for almost a car with 6 cylinders and 1832cc... ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oceaneyes Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 A NInja 400 is a good bike. Fast enough but user friendly, with a slipper clutch and ABS etc. I have a Ninja 300, fun to ride but not too hard to control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alx123 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hey, TS got a real bike already. Let it go guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scammed Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) better acceleration and better braking power, so in that respect, a bigger bike is safer. a bigger bike also cant go flat tyre, the walls are too thick for that, so its also safer in that respect. the sound will also alert at least some oblivious drivers, so that also makes it safer. i can foresee you will go down when you attempt to turn on a coin, you will think your leg will be able to keep the bike up when you are about to fall over, but at 50+ you dont have that power, do some dead weight lifting to get up to snuff. if your reasoning to buy it is to impress woman, you are wasting your time and money and should get some other hobby last but not least, i feel its so dangerous here so i wont be buying another big bike, i drive the absolute minimum with my scooter to just buy the stuff i want and go back to safety Edited December 30, 2020 by scammed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canthai55 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Had a bunch of flat tires. Only went down once, leaned over in a curve, on the throttle, with a hard-as-a-rock 1970's bias ply. Felt - the tire has no air, so no cushion, so the rim rides on the road. You have very little bike experience do you ? To be asking such a question.

You have very little bike experience do you ? To be asking such a question. what size of the bike ? how many cubic ? and was it a chopper ? i have over a decade of experience with chopper above 1000 cc but really no experience with below, besides scooters, and that experience is that a chopper above 1000 cc show very little change from empty air or full air due to thickness of the walls of the tyres, while with a scooter its almost impossible to keep it upright the moment i get a puncture Edited December 30, 2020 by scammed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I find this impossible to believe. Rode Pans, Shovels, Evo, Twin Cam. Felt every flat tire. If - and a BIG if - you were running a rear car tire like we did in the 60's, I can maybe see it. But other than that - no way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
