Do you? They look kinda fun but at least around my area there's just a shit ton of shitty drivers and my state just made it legal to not wear a motorcycle helmet if you so choose.

Lol at people who willingly subject themselves to something where a 15mph fender bender, which wouldn't leave a scratch on anyone in a car, could be potentially fatal.

Absolutely moronic for anyone to go without a helmet and at least some padding. Road rash is no laughing matter

They are a ton of fun, but the worst part is other drivers on the road. You can do everything right, but you still have an infinitely higher chance of getting killed because of other people, so yeah.

I feel like I see more motorcyclists driving recklessly.

Bullshit. I've wiped out doing 80mph and got up pissed off and almost fought an old lady for cutting me off.

Yes. Currently have a 2016 CBR300R that I'm selling. Drove it for 2 years in Thailand (far more shitty drivers than any western country). Had a GSXR1000 in Canada and a Ninja 250R in Thailand about 4 years ago.

Love riding but won't ride again for a couple years most likely. Live in China now and I'll buy a car soon, plus China has laws against motorcycles being driven in the city centres.

Moved here a little over a month ago for work (Ningbo). Tbh, I am pleasantly surprised. Very modern city and other than some people gawking at you in public they've been very friendly.

I was sick of Thailand and this job came at the perfect time.

Holy fucking LOL at a motorcyclist blaming other drivers

Sorry but the portion of reckless motorcyclists is >>>>>>>>>>>>> that of car drivers. I'm not at all exaggerating when I say that proportion is close to 50%, by which I mean every other motorcyclist I see on the road is swerving in and out of traffic, going 20mph over, etc.

Guy just last week almost caused me to hit him; there's an exit from one highway to another where you have a short amount of time to cross over two lanes and get to an exit of another highway. I'm in front, motorcyclist behind me. I of course flip on my blinker well in advance to indicate I'm changing lanes ASAP. I make my way over one lane, and as I begin to make my way over to the next one, I see (and hear) him fucking flying up my left side, causing me to have to swerve back into the middle lane so I don't hit him.

Q6jG3Vj

A crude drawing for visual purposes. I should note that one gray line = one lane, as opposed to three lines only looking like two lanes. It's early, I'm tired.

Point being, this was literally last week.

Motorcyclists are proportionately far more reckless than car drivers.

Actually no, you have an infinitely higher chance of being killed because of your own voluntary decision to drive a vehicle with half the wheels and 0% of the walls or safety features of normal cars.

My buddy has one of those (red and black special edition). It's a nice bike but I'm not a big fan of the riding position (feels high) and the fact that it's gutless at low rpms in 1st/2nd. Once you get over 5k rpm it becomes fun though.

Mine's the Orange and Grey one. It looks really slick.

I can't comment on riding position because it's the only bike I've ridden (besides the ones provided at my training course) but it feels nice to me. I was almost going to get a 250cc bike, but decided to start a bit higher.

I considered a Ninja 300 as a first bike and I'm so glad I didn't get it. My CB500X isn't a powerhouse but I do appreciate the extra oomph.
