Why did the biker cross the road?To get away from the yamaha R7 salesman trying to sell him half an engine at full price.
>>27769804>fat mutt screws the mirrors on
>>27769834>keeping the stock mirrorsEither me or my mechanic have probably worked on the majority of fasteners on this bike, so if it falls apart it's my own fault. That reminds me I need to order some more threadlock.
Heading out on the stroonk today

Brits dropping like flies this week in the heatwave. Ride defensively guys.

>>27769959Skill issue.
>>27770002In defence of the Perthshire gent he was wiped out by an old chink.But a rider or two are dying every day currently. It's grim.
Convince me to buy the versys 650 over the V Stromg
>>27770013Vstrom has a hydraulic clutch.Versys better for wheeliesVstrom has better build qualityVersys looks more modernRide both and pick.
>>27769996Only noticed bonus wang after taking pix. Disabled parking is the next row over. Real world still ass.
>>27769950It's fun until it's not>>27769376

>>27770027Skill issue
>>27770033I like my skin
>>27770033I agree. The joy of wearing only a t shirt is worth it depending on the ride. I feel naked without gloves though.
4999 dolars for a r15 in my country. Fucking hell bruv but I want it so bad onzabros...
>>27770068I usually wear gear but if it’s a short ride and over 80 degrees my minimum requirements are closed toe shoes, pants, helmet and gloves. For some people minimum requirements are sandals and swim trunks.
In the summer of 2007 I had a wank on my honda hornet, and spaffed at 60mph.

>>27770084Hunter S. Thompson mentions the raw american thrill of riding in shorts a couple times. It's probably great until you catch a junebug in the bag. It's been weird wearing jeans in the summer. Normally I wear shorts from april to october but since I ride every day I have to wear them under the leg cages until I get to my destination. Sandals in the saddle bags
>>27770158My sons bitch and moan every time I tell them to change from shorts to pants to ride their dirt bikes in the yard. Sometimes I let it slide and then they go and crash. I guess they have to learn their own lessons. Helmets are mandatory though.
>CBR650R - slightly used $8k>CBR600RR - 14 years old, also $8kWhat do bros?
>>27770186Follow your heart anon.
>>27770158>Hunter S. Thompson mentions the raw american thrillHe does mention a lot of raw American thrills along his writing career though
>>27770184Little PW just having a rest
>>27770190At least he's wearing safety socks to prevent calf abrasion
>>27770184I would never leave my biku like that. Your kids should learn to respect the machine and daddy's money
>>27770205It was only like that long enough for me to drag him out of there, make sure he was OK and then snap that picture of the bike. It’s also a 21 year old kids dirt bike.
>>27770184It never occurred to me to wear anything more than a helmet as a kid,
>>27770212Your kid is 21 and still riding that little thing?
Parts for the R1 are 30% more expensive than the same parts for the R7.
>>27770242He’s small for his age
>>27770242I’m old enough to have a 21 year old had I fucked up in high school.

>>27770274best
Good news, my fork slider finally came. Also I inspected the carbs last night and found that one of the vacuum slides was stuck open. After drilling out the fucking butter-made screws on the carb to reveal the diaphragm, I found this bent spring. It looks like the last guy who rebuilt the carbs (which according to the previous owner, was a reputable shop) they bent this spring upon reassemble, and it was getting bound up. So I carefully fixed it back into a good shape and now the slide goes in and out real nice. I think this is going to fix my "hesitation when chopping the throttle from idle" issue, which is why the previous owner sold the bike. I'm so lucky I noticed this when I did because I was on my way to pulling the carbs out and completely disassembling them and fucking with the idle circuit. The viffer is going to viff again, and perhaps even later today.
>>27770286270 degree ptwin sounds and performs the same as a vtwin but it's smaller, lighter, and easier to work on. Really there's no point to them.
>>27770286Jews, we are regressing towards shitty and cheap p twins like r7 and singles like d390.
>>27770314Onsa is ugly like r7
>>27770186You already know that toot exhoosts are far superior aesthetics>>27770274There is not need to been upset brosAlso all the bakuons are my waifus, just like all the spice girls were my girlfrienda at 5 year old, noobs like you wouldntnunderstand>>27770327Fake and gay, only thing comparable to vtwin is a boxer, ltwin, or motoguzzi orientation
>>27770013Vstronk is better.
>>27770186650r because you need abs.
>be me>want sportbike aesthetics >want to commute everyday in the city>want good gas mileage (because poor)>want new bike (because poor) What bike should I buy sirs?
>>27770327What makes them easier to work on? I feel like the Evo motor is about as simple as an engine can get as far as twins go.
>>27770145Rear brake is a vestigial organ, I've never used it.
>>27770375CBR 300, 500 and 650. Pick your poison, increasing displacement gives you lesser fuel economy.
>>27770375Probably cbr500r because your last >new because poorIs a non sequitor idk how tf to understandPlus you posted honda girlHow fast you wana shoom bros?
>>27770375SV650 with farings
>>27770325Good catch. New screws are basically mandatory in a rebuild, fucking junk. Did you inspect closely for tears or holes in the diaphragms?
>>27769800What do you guys think of the vespa scooters?Should I bite the bullet with the gts 300 super tech or should I rather go with the yamaha xmax 300 tech max?Right now there's a promotion where there's 0% interest rate with 500€ accesories if you finance it for 24 months.
>>27770381>>27770383but these bikes are slow And why are you saying CBR instead of a Ninja?650 4cyl isn't good on gas >>27770384I don't wanna ride a Frankenstein
Going to buy an almost mint low mileage 98 Blackbird tomorrow, dunno how I'll get on with the linked brakes.
>>27770409Gen 1 and 2 SV's had faired versions
>>27770409Honda is the best ofc. If you came here looking for r7 I'm gonna kill you.
>>27770411Fag is looking for new one.
>>27770410Loved my 97 Blackbird. Such a good sport touring machine. It took me all over North America.
>>27770413>If you came here looking for r7 I'm gonna kill you.
>>27770424I have those Givi bags :) Did you ever have issues with water finding a way in?
>>27770424did you get shot?
>>27770409you are gay
>>27770414we don't have old sv here
>>27770426I have one more bike for you, GSX-8R. Its better than R7, Ninjas and IDK if they are better than Hondas.
>>27770441>heavier>ugly>better
>>27769849I need new pics from today's ride anon. I've seen this multiple times. Based VStronk rider.
>>27770409Do you wqnt to >commuteOr do you want to>SHOOOOOOMfuciin low t indeciaive gayness is the worst thing a pair of testicles can do, figuring things out bout the only freedom you have nowadays, express that freedom
>>27770449I want both.
>>27770444Fucking trips for R7, I can't. Btw, more weight also means more power and more torgs. And Suzuki got cuter bitches.
>>27770432No I didn’t have any issue with water. Even after riding through a hurricane in New Brunswick.
>>27770388What screws do you recommend? Titanium? Stainless? Zinc plated?
sirs, I've been told that the spare parts for Yamaha are very expensive and the whole company is run by jews, is that true?
>>27770517Not at all since no such thing as needing to replace parts on Yamahas
>>27770538is it because Yamaha bikes are very reliable?
>>27770541Pretty much, I don't even bother checking the oil it's always perfect on mine. I shift at 17,000rpm btw.
>>27770552What biku? pls check oil
>>27770583R7
I installed a new stator, new R/R, amber aux lights, and a led headlight bulb in my drz400. Put everything back together, everything working. However, now the neutral light is always on, no matter what gear im in. Bike runs fine. What would cause the neutral light to stay on?
>>27770591Do use kickstarter?
>>27770517Hey retard, do you know what's a blue board?
>>27770614the picture is completely safe and represents Honda
I need ooldfags opinion. My body is basically broken and I can no longer ride my GSX-R 1000 k5. I have available three bikes that could replace it. I would use it primaly in the city with a bunch of 100-200 kms rides with other people. I will rarely ride with a passanger.The bikes are:-1984 FJ1100-1985 GPZ 1000 RX-1986 BMW K75c
>>27770618you just wanna be boring go for the BMW like any boomer.
>>27770618If you are broken, why don't get get something comfy like Africa twin or a GS?
>>27770640low on money. I would need to refurbish all three but it won't cost as much as a new bike

>>27770643Sell your bikes and get a use Africa Twin anon. You are old, you can't be low on monies.
>>27770618Go with the yamaha

>>27770145Awwww lil nobike trying so so hard.Just kill yourself, kid.
>>27770666checked, Yamaha confirmed evil shoulda put a TV on the R6 instead of cancelling it
>>27770651Cbr600rr not to your taste?
Just watched Akira for the first time. Why did they do my girl so dirty?
>>27770655Haven't ridden one but I'd bet my left nut it's got the comfiest ergos of the three.Engine is interesting and reliable too.
>suspect was seen fleeing the police on a literal shit bike, contact local authorities if you have any information regarding the suspect.
>>27770677idk, people always say superspots suck in city traffic
>>27769800I've been on 4wheeler atvs since I was a kid but want to get into dirt bikes and dual sports.Inexpensive starter bike to learn on? I have private land to ride offroad anytime I want until I feel comfortable enough to go onroad
>>27770692Multiple anon's have the KLX 300 dual sport. They also offer it in a super moto if you're interested in that. I wouldn't go bigger than 300cc for first bike.
>>27770499I've never gotten a carb kit that didn't come with them.
>>27770677No slipper clutch?
>>2777066235 oldfag. Lost the job one year ago but not really in a hurry. hell I will have to find a job to maintain the girlfriend and the bikes. Life sucks
>>27770687The handlebars on the c model are really narrow, don't like it much. It a hand-down from my cousin but I've never really like it. The engine sounds like a washing machine
>>27770397If your only intention is city commuting and nothing else then pick the cheapest option. I would ask yourself whether limiting yourself to a scooter that has a top speed of 60mph that can only really handle city speeds is worth it to you. If it is then I'd just pick the vespa since you already don't care about perception from retarded dudebros who think the vehicle you use says anything about you other than your taste in aesthetics.
>What’s up brahs!
Should I buy a CBR900RR or VFR750F? My previous bike was a CBR600F but I haven't ridden in a few years so I'm not sure if the Fireblade is more than I can handle.
>>27770733If a new experience is what you're after. Dirt bike. Used dualsport like a klr or drz 400s.
>>27770701Thanks, pimp.
>>27770688You filtered up next to a cop? That's not even proper filtering. You have to be in between two lanes going the same direction. You went around on the left cause actual filtering would have been too hard huh? Dont lie I do it sometimes too.

I just sold the road king. This is the last picture I will take of it. At least I got a fat stack of cash. It sucks being poor, bros
>>27769644Oh for sure, French fast food in general is pretty litIt's why my brother's gotten fat, heh
>>27770723Being honest here, if I had the money and the A license, I would have went with the honda forza 750 or x-adv, but I don't have any of those and I would rather not be spending 1000€ on the insurance because it's too powerful for a noob.I would honestly buy a kawasaki eliminator 500, but I know for a fact that I would regret not having enough carrying space like on an scooter, and these two I listed have a gps navigator inside the own bike instrumentation.
>>27770796>It sucks being poor, brosso stop being poor
>>27770781>>27770777>>27770791I need something to have fun, not to kill myself
>>27770804Ninja 400's are fun and shouldn't kill you unless you are trying to kill yourself.
>>27770804r6 wont kill you its nice and safe, keeps you warm too
>>27770755No the cop was filtering through traffic with his lights on, I moved out of the way.
>>27770265Nop. but I can buy a second hand r3 for that price :) thats how horrible my country is. New R1 is 25k btw haha.
>>27770796Big if true
Should I buy this little Chinese shit for $1.2k new?They claim it to be 125cc, but on paper it's 50cc so I'll be able to ride that thing without license.
>>27770771Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 or Vitpilen 401?

>>27770863I’ll be getting another Harley
>>27769856I wear a grey Motonation Pursang jacket that has vents all over. Yesterday it was 98f and the only issue i had was the collar of my jacket getting wet and sticking to my neck. I'm actually tempted to cut out the collar and just use a scarf.

>>27770906Currently sending out low balls now
>>27770951ohhh, ahhhvery niceLooks like a twin cam
>want a T7>plan to beat the shit out of it>every single used model costs more than a new onewtf is going on?
>>27770987Probably modded with loads of after market parts. When it comes to "adventure bikes". People try to turn them into dirt bikes with extremely expensive suspensions.
I think the R7 is the best bike for me.If I just ignore some seething 4 cylinder lovers then the bike perfect. I feel like I should choose it, like Rossi did 20 years ago. It's not the best, or biggest, but it has soul.
>>27771004id be willing to spend the extra if they had tourtech cartridges and rear shock but its just the normal shit, crash bars and some massive hard case panniers i dont want, soft bags are best for actual off road.thats not 4-6k worth of mods
Yay my tires showed up today. Doesn't matter because I have to work tomorrow anyway but it feels good
Fork respring, meticulous cleaning, and new oil insertion: DONE!!! >>27770388Yeah
>>27770377There's only one valve cover, only one valve cover gasket, and the valve cover and spark plugs can generally be accessed without taking anything else off the bike. Having all the cylinders in a row makes it so much easier to fit the carbs into their boots, if applicable. It also makes it so much easier to fit exhaust systems on and off the front because you're only attaching them to one plane. I have a CB650 and a VFR750 and (granted they are 4 cylinders not 2) but still having the cylinders lined up in a row inside one housing makes it so much easier to do basically anything.
Is a 2003 bmw f650cs with with 14188km on it worth a look? I like the styling of it and considering it as my first bike. I mean other than taking a look at it and asking questions from the dealer about its history.
>>27771037rotax bros.....yeah probably, just don't pay crazy money.>>27771013hard case panniers+rack cost a boatload.....Also just means they set it up for road touring.>>27771016What oil weight and spring did you go with? Racetech has done me alright.
>>27770796>ride a dualsport>sell everything elseMany such cases
I have some questions about gearboxes and crankcase coversFirstly I'll be able to test the clutch and gearbox with the case dry and open? Also how exactly do you tap the gasket unsealed?. The service manual just says tap with a nylon mallet it doesn't say where to tap.
>>27770692I love my klx 300. It is geared a bit for street so if you buy one and want to trail/enduro just swap the stock 14T for a 13 front sprocket. $20 part that will make a massive improvement off-road.I put a fuel tuner, large snorkel and pipe on mine but stock they’re absolutely fine.I’ve crashed it hard a couple times, launched it down a hill, and fell over on dirt too many times to count. It’s indestructible. Unlike a race bike it has sane maintenance intervals.Highly recommend, should be able to find lots of nearly new ones for $5k
>>27770397I've had a few Vespas, both the old 2-stroke manuals and the modern 4-stroke CVTs. Unless you are exclusively doing light-to-light city riding there is no reason to choose a scooter over a motorcycle. Motorcycles offer much better value for the money in every instance of the highly specific urban commuter niche. On top of that, the Vespa badge is literally just a lifestyle branding that adds nothing but cost to a modern scooter. Get a fucking Kymco if you legit have a need for a scooter. Your Vespa will cost more without adding utility and will be much more likely to be stolen.
>>27771069But if you have money to burn and just really want a Vespa because you think they're cool, get yourself a manual, either an old P-series or an LML clone from India.
>>27770824>Should I buy Chinese shitThe answer is always "no"
attention all Suzuki niggers.Ninjas are better.that is all.no but seriously, I love my 08 Ninja. so fucking easy to work on. just did my clutch cover and generator cover gaskets to fix an oil leak that developed last year, and because I was winter-temp IQ I didn't tension the chain enough, but tbf neither did the previous owner, so the sprockets are fuckered beyond acceptable levels.is it worth asking around at wreckers for sprockets?
>>27771059ehh, you can test if the plates go in and out but that's about it. The old gasket comes off easily if you are lucky, and you can use a plastic scraper. If it's stuck on you can use a bare utility knife blade, or metal scraper. Just be as careful as you can to push horizontal on the face, not dig into the aluminium.If it's a stiff gasket that isn't paper you might get lucky and pry it off with a finger nail/plastic and the whole thing will go. When putting it back on the mallet could be useful once you get the cover on the metal dowels, I try and tap it on gently at each dowel and then put the screws on.GLHF
>>27771043I read in the forums that everyone thinks the racetech spring suggester gives suggestions that are on the firm side. It suggested 0.85kg so I went with 0.80kg springs for me being 165lbs. The stock springs are 0.7. I used the stock 5W fork oil and filled them to the level suggested in the Haynes manual which is 177mm.
>>27771069I saw a vespa meetup in person. It seemed fun if a strictly middle aged affair
>>27770690Thoughts on 2000's silver bikes like this and the Aprilia Shiver?
>>277699963DPD
>>27771103>Ninjas are better.Is it true? on every Japanesu websitu Kawasaki is the most popular brand
>>27771174I was into Vespas as a social thing. There were several scooter clubs in town and we used to get together for rides and house parties and bar hopping all the time, and there were annual rallies, some of them pretty big. The age range was 20s to 30s for most, but we had some absolute geezers who participated too. It was fun at the time, but I don't miss it.
>>27771201Bad fuel injection
A guy I work with raced vespas. It's great having someone to chat to about bikes and wrenching.
>>27771013I saw the same when I was looking for my T7. In the end I decided it was worth the small premium to buy new over used. I wanted a clean slate to slowly modify rather than a used bike with every aftermarket part under the sun.
>>27770796Hotwing, there is nothing wrong with swapping bikes every couple years, but please stop deluding yourself at this point that you will find a "forever" bike.

>>27770325Idiots mutilate innocent screws. Vessel JIS ball handled kits solve that nicely (and make great gifts for riding bros because gearheads can always use more good tools). Metric socket head screws are cheap even at retail hardware stores and are much nicer to deal with on carbs.

>>27770377>I feel like the Evo motor is about as simple as an engine can get as far as twins go.It is thanks to retaining the good parts of 1930s design very much including the rebuildable crankshaft (new rod kit means new crankpin etc) which makes the entire engine field-rebuildable with minimal equipment. That's win over any engine requiring crankshaft grinding.

>>27770602Trace the wire going to the neutral safety switch and check service manual to see if grounding it turns the light on or ungrounding does. Disconnect neutral safety switch and note results etc.

>>27771117Seems reasonable. I remember on my scooter it made a huge difference, and since I am around 100kg I am way beyond the recommended weight range.Done it on 2 bikes so far and it's worth it mid corner not having the bouncy effect, or just the reduced brake dive.>>27771201Other anon is right. My dad has 2 early italian EFI bikes and..... they both have kind janky EFI.

At least working night shift gives time to plan out the repairs by consulting manuals and writing job cards for my TZR and ordering parts online. It's more productive than using a scanner to flash rude words in morse or spending 5 minute periods alternating between clockwise and counter clockwise chair spinning

anyone else tried spraying hairspray on their inner thighs so you don't slide back in your clothes when trying to grip the tank when you're giving it gas?
>>27770796NOOOOOOOOoOOOOooOOOOOOStay strong bro
>>27770583R6. I take back what I posted. Yamaha bros, not like this! We were supposed to be the most reliable!!!! >>27770591No!
>>27771646Literally me. I invented the hairspray technique and it's date stamped on my video, so nobody can pretend they did it first.
>>27771667>I invented the hairspray technique and it's date stamped on my videoYea that was rude of me to not mention you. From now on it will be referred to as zx999 anons hairspray technique. Any hairspray brands you recommend? Can hair gel be used as a substitute?
>>27771646>those headersdid you finally get a real exhaust for your bike?
>>27771676I'm taking off the rice pipe and going back to OEM.
Are there any parts of Idaho and eastern Oregon that are worth a go-over?
>>27771646>so you don’t slide back in your clothesWhat?
>>27771688>he doesn't know about zx999 hairspray technique See you at the finish line (I'll be there first because I won due to implementing HST [hair spray technique])
>>27771670Kek. Nah, just hairspray. Treseme, or the generic brand of it. Btw, what are you doing on your bike?>>27771655I had the same thing happen on my Duc with those clamps, except it was actually dripping. You don't have to replace the clamp or hose, you use a pair of dykes (90 degrees are the best. Like the special hose clamp tool, but it's just clippers) to pull the crimp tighter. Worked on my Ducati.But that's barely even a leak, probably would just leave it alone for now, unless it's hard to get to. I know R6 fairings SUCK to pull off.>>27771678>going back to oemWhy? Too loud? Oem is so quiet though.
>>27771069Honda and Suzuki scoots are just better. t. suzuki scoot owner.
>>27771703>just hairspray.>Tresemegot it. >pull the crimp tighterI'm gonna try this. >I know R6 fairings SUCK to pull off.There's a bunch of hidden retainers but I know where they all are so it's not so bad. >Why? Too loud? Oem is so quiet thoughI just miss the sound of it when it was stock. You could really hear the intake suck noise. I'm gonna do plugs, filters chain and sprocket.
>>27771317I'm guessing the two easter eggs are the squirtle squad sticker and the mud on the seat.
>>27771720>plugs filters chain and sprocket How man miles you got on it to be doing all that? Is it just coming up on 15k or something?When my buddy had his 2016 R6, I hated helping him do work that required removing the fairings. They made it unnecessarily complicated.
>>27771633Oh what?
>>27771750>How man miles you got on it to be doing all that?r6 plug interval is 8k. First time I rode it out to 12k and it started misfiring lol. It snuck up on me since my friends CBR600 interval was like 30k miles. Now I'm at 17k so im going to do it to be nice to my ku. This spark plug interval difference just goes to show everyone that r6 is super special and incredibly powerful since it smokes sparkplugs like that. >When my buddy had his 2016 R6, I hated helping him do work that required removing the fairings. They made it unnecessarily complicated.I wouldn't doubt it. Previous gen r6 did look the best so I'm sure you have to pay for that with more hidden fasteners.
>>27770771RC51.Looks happy and fun, its reckless at the same time. I think it fits all the criteria.
>>27770824Its two wheels, if it breaks you die. Choose some nihon scoot over this death trap. Since you are an idiot, choose Honda.
She is standing :')
I found a new channel I like.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AZgi-cR6LqI
>>27771761Really you think it looked better? I like the 2019+ like yours better.I just looked and the interval is 7500 for zx6r so I'm way over at this point, I gotta do plugs again, shit.
They've been selling Groms for 10 years in the US and yet the oldest ones still sit around $2.5k when you can get a new one for $4k OTD
>>27771819They're exactly the same and last forever. A grom can go 200k miles. Why buy new?
For me it's Yamaha
I'm gonna try my best and bring home a GSX-8S tomorrow. There are no sv650's for sale close enough, closest one was a 2023 model for $8,900. Do you think I'll regret not waiting for a sv650?
>>27771687Guess not, or maybe they're full.
>>27771864Why are you "waiting" for a decades old bike? Go buy a used one if you want. Why on earth do you think you would regret not getting the older, slower model other than how hideous the GSX-8S looks?
>>27771687Lolo Pass is a MUST-DO. Are you coming from Montana?
Is 275kg (606lbs) a lot for naked bike? The heavier the better since that means its quality, right?
>>27771892Heavier means heavier. I don't consider metal vs composite fenders any mark for or against quality, for example. It will be more stable but less agile than lighter bikes.
>>27771646I'm not a manlet so my ass is just on the seat cowel. If the bike doesn't have one, I'm not some DYEL that can't squeeze the frame/tank and keep myself in place.
>>27771761Your beloved CP2 engine also has an 8k spark plug interval FYI
>>27771892damn, what naked? Not even my VFR is that much
HYB
>>27771906good engine
>>27771633if you meant my bike here it is when I took delivery of it. >>27771788>deltabox frame >YEIS meme airbox>similar wheel fairing and disk brake >power valve servomotor(?)this man knows the way. What bike is that? I thought 2nd gen TZR-250 but there is no oil pump mounting and no oil tank in the tail. 90s R6?
>>27771809>interval is 7500 wow what a good bike. i do like the older styling better, it just looked more distinct and it had anime eyes. dude i just put the bike together and took it for a spin OH MY GOD I LOVE STOCK EXHAUST SO MUCH HOLY FUCKING SHIT DUDE. Its still kinda too loud but its quiet fast lol i fucking love it and im shaking. man that rice pipe was just so overbearing to listen to, i can hear the gear whine again like when i first met my r6. listen to this video its not me but its literally me. look when it gets into the powerband and you hear that intake suck and just see it bucking under the dude so you know its strogg but quiet. fuck me yamaha was right all along. and i gained like 25hp from doing spark plugs just now fucking christ this bike PULLS. please replyhttps://youtu.be/1U-i9jbGBwI?si=1aYDO5Ii2dpWBLpr&t=2
>>27771920So good it replaced the r6
>>27771941it could never replace the r6, the r6 is legendary now yamaha is stupid for cancelling it
>>27771888>>27771864This Anon is right, the gsx-8s is way better than the sv650 in every way. Bikes aren't like cars, they don't get worse every generation because of regulations (yet)
You guys don't put anime shit on your bikes, right?
>>27771953I put that cringe shit on my helm
is dying literally just a skill issue?
>>27771959Speaking of.You guys know those big ass cardo stickers you get when buying a set?I saw a guy (on a gs) who actually put the sticker on his helmet. Just a big ass advert on your head. Holy fucking cringe.
>2005 CBR600RR engine rebuild on Youtube>20k miles>it's a disasterI thought Honda was reliable
>>27772028>no linkcute onsa but Honda has already proven themselves. Sample size 1 is not a valid argument.
>>27772028crash it directly into a concrete block at 90mph please and thank you
Are the 125cc bikes worth it as a beginner bike/cheap city cimmuter?
Terrible migraine that has been going on for 2 days and the best riding weather I've seen in months.
Going to look at one of these today after work, less than 1k miles for $6750, some guy’s wife’s bike. Thoughts? It’ll be my second bike (ninja 250) after over 2 years of not riding, seems to have everything I want and I think it’s gorgeous.
>>27772075>I think it’s gorgeous.It'll be fine because of this.You will have one more cylinder, more than double the displacement, and a refined feel of a bike(triumph things).>>27772063It's fine>>27771953My waifu keeps me safe
>>27771862That's a really nice little bike.
>>27771950>they don't get worse every generation because of regulations (yet)lmao yes they do. And the GSXS8S is worse in every way.It's ugly as sin and has a fucken PTwin.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIqEOwXgZUk>R7 = R3>for the first year it's fineEven females agree that the R7 is meh
man, why can't they make morethis bike was perfect
>>27772084Man, look at that thing. It's got a full sized tail and everything.Too bad they chopped it up so much for the latter generations.
>>27772084Looks ugly as sin, Suzuki does make ugly bikes huh?
>>27772092>aluminum frame and swingarm>4cyl 400cc>ugly

>>27771953Eventually im gonna wrap my vfr800 with ultimate hane bakuon, biker mice from mars, suber cup lady, akira, ghost rider, and plenty other tasteful meme frens for a HOWVE YOUVE BEEN ultimate compilationEventually ill grt a custom license plate but rn im divided between SN33D, SNEED, or HYB as far as that goesMaybe ill forego the wrap and just find a japanese artist lady, FROM JAPAN, who has a crush on me to make the art wrap/airbrush like pic relId do rhe airbrushing if i had the facility and patience for removing everything to get the frame colored too, but sadly thats alot of tedious shit and i dont have a nice garage without dusty bros
>>27770824I've bought chink shit before, every orther week I found a new life endangering issue and wondered how I ever made it home. Also the metal is soft and rusts so stupidly fast. Don't do it anon, I promise it's not worth it.
>>27772151Hello anon, don't wrap it or paint it anon. Hane chan wouldn't approve.

>ZX-4R>45mpg>R7>58mpg>R7 is faster???
>>27772092>>27772105I don't think any of them is ugly. The GSR has that 2000's exquisite, modern silver bike look design style.
>>27771925It's a 1997 VFR750
>>27772209I saw a R7 the other day, it seemed like a bratty bike. Do you understand what I'm saying?
>>27772251no, what did you mean by this?
>>27772254yamaha faggot beta trans chudkawasaki alpha chad predator maleyou understand now?
>>27772254I don't mean this in a bad way, it's just my way of seeing it. It looks like a supersports in every way except the sound. The one that passed me was really loud and sounded like a lawnmower.This might be a negative for some (most) people but on the other hand it seemed kind of fun and a reflex of modern 2024 living.It's bratty because it's like a kid trying to be grown up, it's bratty because you don't need fancy engines to have fun (when you are young you have less money and settle for cheaper stuff). Do you understand now?
The only bad thing about the R7 is that it has two cylinders instead of four. This gives it a boring powerband and makes it like an appliance compared to an i4 or v4 bike. But still, it's the best bike you can buy for commuting and general street riding. It's the kind of bike you buy when you need A Motorcycle to take you places fast, or to have fun when you don't care about the character of the bike you're on. And a parallel twin is retardedly easy and cheap to service. It's really the perfect bike for most people who ride on the street.
>>27772278I don't like modern bikes but I wish the R7 was at least 10 kg lighter (factory) and 5 cm lower
>>27772283It's very lightweight already only 188kg
>sv650 sportomg best bike ever>r7le badwhy are they like this?
>>27772301>why are they like this?simply because its not the cheapest thing suzuki could build. aluminium frame iirc, dual cylinder heads, 4 camshafts. if it was steel frame, piss twin it would be the same lague as the r7. the r7 is genuinely the cheapest thing yamaha could build and call it a """"""""""new""""""" bike.
>>27772304But Yamaha has Inverted forks and Brembo master cylinder. And how about 3rd gen SV, it's even cheaper
>>27772304Suzuki builds a nice V-twin for an affordable bikes. Yamaha builds the cheapest possible p-twin for more money and calls it a day. I'd choose SV650 every time.
new bread when
>>27772318>cheapest possible p-twinyou mean the best p-twin? the others are slower
>>27772321That is the least that's expected of Yamaha, at the minimum, I want them to build a decent bike. It is decent, but its a disappointment to Yamaha's name.
>>27772316master cyl isn't shit, you can put inside out forks on the zook too
>>27772325but this is basically the one and only new sportbike today the other brands did nuffin new and honda's selling 2013 CBR600 in the US
I'm leaning more and more when riding my 'ku, bros. Feels good.
>if Yamaha wins in Assen this weekend I'm gonna buy the R7
>>27772369>>27772369>>27772369>>27772369new comfortable thread
>>27771462No.
>>27770018>Vstrom has a hydraulic clutch.Which go bad from sitting and have nil functional advantages over cable. Cables can sit twenty years and be fine. If you have a cable failure at the bar end there are ways to limp home. If your juice clutch shits the bed you're out of luck.
>>27770796It wasn't an FXR so meh. You can always find another or buy a wreck cheap and sort it out, easier with HDs than any other bike in the US.What other bikes do you have remaining?
>>27770951I'd rather have that Evo Softail anyway and it's obviously very low mileage. Looks like it still has the ignition cover rivets. I prefer my Evo FXRs but the Softy has the classic Shovelhead style frame front section and styling. That's a lifetime motorcycle and Evos were the last classic HD drivetrain.
>>27771103>is it worth asking around at wreckers for sprockets?Sprockets and chain should be replaced new as a set when the sprockets are finally done as a worn chain no longer quite matches the tooth pitch of new sprockets due to pin and bushing wear.
>>27771502What are you really asking? What KIND of project?They're easy to work on and parts are plentiful. That one's original enough to keep that way.
