I have a loud exhaust so in town I short shift as low as 4k, but mostly around 6-7, and if I have some adrenaline then I almost redline shift taking a ramp merging into highway..
@Supernam thanks for your input. @MacDoc was kind enough to let me have a seat on his baby and yes the 500 feels solid! Will be trying to contact some dealers to get one soon.
Ya I agree with the 300. I'm used to my ninja 300 at 9k, and sometimes shift near red line when merging the highway. 1.5 years into riding and I'm at 18k, just trying to get Comfy now haha
Haven't found a dealer that allow test rides and I don't have friends.. That ride ? just me and the wife scooting around doing errands or wknd road trip to grab a bite. Haven't had a chance to sit in a cb, went to a couple dealers but they didn't have it. I did sit on a v300 a very long time...
Thank you everyone for your inputs! After reading all this I think the cb is better suited for my riding needs. Will wait and see which one I get my hands on first. If I end up with x300 I guess it won't be too bad, as I'm used to the high revving ninja already... But will def prefer the cb...
@Mad Mike haha ok that's what I thought. Yes the price definitely is more attractive. Plus I'm so used to the ninja that it'll be easy to adapt. I have a friend looking out for me, '16+ cb or v300x. It'll be whichever comes first unless I'm convinced one over the other.
@Mad Mike hey there! Ya I've read a lot of reviews comparing the 2 but thought I'd try to get some insights from fellow Torontonians. Also kawi 3k more? Im noticing the Honda being more expensive due to msrp
@TK4 sorry typo, meant to be 500x
@ifiddles sat on one before, but insurance jumps a bit too much so I'm keeping it sub 500
@jc100 sorry to add, I have looked into both. About $15 difference. So I've narrowed it down to these 2.
Just curious to know if one is bettrr than the other or more...
Shopping for a replacement to my ninja 300. Power wise I'm happy with my ninja.. Really doing this for a more upright position as my backs not holding up on longer 2up rides. Any inputs appreciated. Thanks!
Any good contacts for a mechanic around Richmond hill area, I'm looking for labor only to change chain+ sprocket and rear brake pads. I have the parts. Fair pricing please~
