Gixxus Christ! Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 I don't hover over this shit show in anticipation. Not about being buttmad. I listed some info that I felt was useful and some nit-picker came in shitposting. Felt personal, so I invited him to air his grievance privately.

JustinNck1 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 So has the OP went and looked at bikes and gear yet? I guess that might be a good place to start. See what catches your eye and and then come back with questions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackImpact Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 @yoshiii Ill go look at bikes and gear with you in person if youd feel more comfortable going with another ride to talk stuff over as you look at it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, on the topic of gear, today made me think of wearing a sporty shirt under my jacket. One of those air-flowing, sweat-wicking shirts. Was mainly a little warm on my upper back, even with a textile jacket, and in the helmet. The Bull-it SR4 jeans with some pads were OK. Even my waterproof boots were OK. 30*C.

yoshiii Posted May 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) I went to try on gear, I tried this jacket on https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/cortech-vrx-air-jacket The stores here dont really have a big selection of jackets. Most of the jackets were for touring type bikes. All textile. The leather jackets they had were not summer and looked like the type you would find at a dept store for normal wearing. Not really any boots could try on, had one or two touring boots no perforation. Small selection of gloves, well at least with armour and for street bikes. Mostly gloves for motocross, etc. No pants except for chaps and touring pants which looked baggy and hot. Lol. One pair of bike jeans but didnt have any kevlar inside. Tried a R3, well sat on it. Fits well. Tried a FZ07, well sat on it. And it fit well too.Saw acouple of 250 bikes from Suzuki, a ninja one from 2011 I think and something else not sure what it was. Saw a Joe rocket jacket that was mesh and textile. Most of the sleeve was textile except for the inner upper arm were it vented I guess. The front and back were mostly mesh with textile on the top and bottom and sides. Looked nice, with armour but as I read, mesh isnt very good for protection? Why do they continue to sell mesh jackets if it is not so good at protection? The salesman said that the FZ07 is good because it is only 300cc or something like that he said. It did feel light as did the R3. He said that the FZ07 has a linear power band so it is easier to get used to. Want to start buying gear but maybe have to order online.

You see alot of textile/mesh because it is more affordable than leather most of the time, and it can vent better. Yes, you sacrifice protection with a mesh jacket, but you must balance the comfort to protection ratio. Some sacrifice their protection some, so they are not sweating their ass off all day. Most textile jackets will have some sort of armor and optional back protector available. IMO, the FZ-07 is a great bike, and a bargain really. It's got enough power to be more than just a beginner bike, while still being a good choice for beginners. If you decide to order gear online, send a message to @RidersDiscount, they can get you some awesome deals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most shops do not have a good selection of gear to try. From Cinci, the closest place with a decent selection is probably the place that took over the Competition Accessories in Springfield - I think it's called Ride 1 Powersports now. But the absolute BEST choice for shopping for anything motorcycle related is Iron Pony on the east side of Cols - you won't believe it until you see it.

I have to say that my Ninja 300 was not all that comfortable to me. The Ninja 650 is better, but at only 5'8" and a little age, after a while the knee bend bothers me. Never have to worry about scraping a peg tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 as far as comfort goes, the fz07 will probably be the best out of all the things you listed. any standard will be more comfortable than a sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocat12 Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 I'm 5'11" and after sitting on the fz07 I didn't even sign up for the demo. fz09 bars were about 2" wider. 'Course I wasn't thrilled by the 09 motor... And swap out my bars anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiro Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Just noticed an SV650S for sale. Wouldn't that be ideal? A 650 V-twin, but a sport riding position and look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
