In 1989 I was 9 years old. I lived in Spokane WA with my Mom and my stepdad Mike. Mike was a firefighter in Spokane and a motorcycle enthusiast. He and I watched Ricky Johnson on his 1989 CR 250 on tv every chance we got and Mike ended up buying one. My mom and I would go out to the track nearly every weekend and watch Mike ride, I called him motorcycle Mike and he is the reason I am such a huge motorcycle advocate and rider today. Mike passed away this year leaving behind 2 daughters (my step sisters) at age 71. He left quite the legacy as he had ridden over 1million miles on a Harley when he passed. After retiring from the fire department he rode all over the United States. Because of Mike and his influence on me I’ve been looking for an 89 for a long time. It would be an absolute dream come true if we could work something out. Please let me know. I would love to come introduce myself and see the bike. Thank you.Best,Josh

I'm curious about Harley. I have a bunch of Japanese bikes but people love these things. Do they really have soul? Might go cop this because it looks cool
>>28044063>>28043986not a bike
>>28044261Harley is bad designs executed with top tier quality. They tried making better bikes but it was more cost effective to keep selling 900lb gigabaggers and trikes to rich boomers until they get too old to ride.
>>28044263better than nothing, what do u have anon?

>>28044278>disdain for scootersfair, although I rented one on vacation and it was pretty fun>is your r1 out of the shop again? the lowside sounded gnarlybike is fixed, currently waiting for insurance company, should have the R1 back soon enoughI could've fixed the engine cover (only crucial damage as it was leaking oil when hot & pressurized) myself and have a banged up bike, but since im paying unholy amount for insurance I let them fix everything
>>28043980>Garbage thread, sure dbt is in the title but daily bike thread is not.
>>28044284>myself and have a banged up bike, but since im paying unholy amount for insurance I let them fix everythingwould do the same, it just sucks, that the insurance takes so long and winter is upon us. last week i had to wait an extra day on a new s22 for the front while the tire sat already at the tire shop waiting to get done with. anoyed me to no end, because last time i just ordered the tire myself, saved a few bucks in the process and lost only a day instead of four of riding. knowing your bike sitting at the garage waiting to get green lighted by insurance must suck, even if those bastards have to pay the bill
>paying $7000 more for a heavier version of the same bike with less torque & without fairingsfor what purpose
>>28044315That's a dentist bike for sure
>>28044315You're dumb as fuck
Why my oil gray? I got a new piston ring, new clutch plates and linings. I changed my oil at 300km at then at 500km. It's still gay. Why? People are telling me it's clutch material but I don't buy it (my clutch plates aren't aluminum). I got a liquid-cooled 250 single, all stock except the clutch springs which are aftermarket and stiffer than normal. Also when can I get back to using synthetic oil? I got 800km so far on the new piston ring.
>>28044383if you confirmed it's aluminium, you didn't, then you can safely conclude that your engine is clearancing itself and you should restart
>>28044383How gray / gay are we talking? Do you have any pictures? Some glitter is acceptable, but if it's straight-up mercury, something's fucked.
>>28044385What's that mean? Also I forgot to mention that the clutch plates were aftermarket and janky and aluminum when I got the bike. I had the piston ring installed, changed out the clutch linings and plates (and oil, it was gray) after 300km with genuine Yamaha, and then I still got gay oil after 500km.
>>28043972How to solve this problem?
>>28044386Sadly I wasn't able to take a picture, but it was similar to this, but not this gray (around 20% less gay). It was the same color after the 300km and the 500km. The water pump seal on the radiator was also said to be close to giving up. It was replaced after the 500 (no oil changes yet since then).
>>28044315I assume this is a troll. but in case you're dumb: you're missing an R. S1000RR --> M1000RR, the one on the right is the M version of the naked bike that's already cheaper and more street oriented than track focused
>>28044091Yes

>>28044263>Two wheels>EngineSorry buddy, but it is a motorcycle. And the 70cc kit i just threw in legally makes it one too.
>>28044450get a transalp, I hear a lot of good things so far and the euro version has more power than the US one from factory.
>>28044450Honda was offering 1k off MSRP during the summer months here for transalp only.
>>28044450Honda knows their market, new riders that don't know any better
>TRANSalpenough said!!
>>28044450>Implying I even have my endorsement
>>28044458I might, all bikes on this list are comfortable and have what I'm looking for.But realistically transalp serves no purpose to me, there are no dirt roads and on-road performance of NC is hard to beat.>>28044470> implying there are any strictly better alternatives
>>28044488NC750X would be my first choice if not for DCT. I want my clutch lever reeeeeeee
>>28044493y tho
>>28044497downshift rev-matching is fun. clutch and manuals seem like an inconvenience if you've never used one. once it's second nature you realize it's more fun than an auto or semi-auto. unless you're in rush hour traffic but also this is a motorcycle so you can just filter anyway
>>28044512Ok, I see your perspective but don't feel it the same way.On my bike rev-matching is so trivial I don't get my joy from it, I only use it to enrage cagies by rapidly slowing down without lighting my brake light.I can't tell which one feels better to me, e-clutch or DCT, but for me both are more enjoyable than manual.
Am i retarded?>go to local parts store for oil for shitbike>Just need 1 litre >only selling 5 litres of the one i need>ask the guy if he has any 1L bottles of 10w-40 motorcycle oil>"10w-40 is 10-40 no matter if its bike or car oil"Are they not different due to the clutch sharing the oil? ive always been told not to use regular oil>"no no its just 10-40 it will work no problems""Are you sure this is fine to use?">"yes its the same oil no matter what"Pic relI think he is full of shit tbqh anons, ive always been told to ONLY use motorcycle specific oil as using any old shit will ruin the clutch/everything Quick google and i can find nothing on their website or anywhere for that matter that says its ok to use in a bike , luckily a family members car takes 10-40 so its not a complete waste , only £7 (under 10 freedom bucks)
>>28044566Why the fuck did you spend money there after he lied to your face?Of course motorcycle oil is different, car oil doesn't have to deal with clutch particles floating around in it.
>>28044448Post the rest of your body.
>>28044566Meh, it's oil. It's probably a little different, but at the absolute worst you're gonna get more clutch slippage than intended. It won't make your engine explode.Try it out for science.
>>28044578Ive been in the place many times over the years, thought the guy was trustworthy but apparently not, the car takes 10-40 so not a complete waste of money, i will take my business elsewhere from now on >>28044581Ill just buy the motorcycle specific stuff from somewhere else, dont want to ruin my little shitter anymore tbqh
>>28044593oil really isnt THAT expensive, paying 50 bucks every 6000 kilometres for some premium fully synthetic goes a long way.
>>28044493Buy a later series nc700x and pocket the difference
>>28044607tldrkill yourself
>>28044493Same, I had the opportunity to buy a manual one and didn't, but the ergos were amazing.
>>28044231lol@ "fuck it i just throw some washers under the nut"
>>28043972I'm tempted. Help me, lads.
>>28044521>only use it to enrage cagies by rapidly slowing down without lighting my brake light.kek, damn you're stupid as fuck. what brand of bike do you ride? It's genuinely crazy how stupid you are.

this is one of the strangest bikes listed ive seen so far, looks amazing and an absolute steal for the price but just these weird pictures.https://mobile.de/27QVV3
>>28044629not worth the money but it still has the airbox so the builder wasn't completely retarded
>>28044566Yeah hes full of shit and your gut was rightProbably a business that forced masks by thr sound of it, fuck that stupid gay faggit dont give him your buznuss>>28044580Homo, get out>>28044607You have to be 18 to post here, the rest nobody is going to read because we were busy frogposting while you were shitting diapers>the people around me have no interest in motorcyclesJust like the people who are interested in motorcycles here have no interest on your age or coming of age existientialism that npcs and normies are fucking retarded and your blogposting was tldr
>>28044566just use the factory recommended oil if you dont want problems its not worth saving a few dollars
>>28044609does it still have the helmet compartment where a gas tank normally goes? looks like it. uh jk though didn't realize we were in the 50s for horsepower, gonna stick with like Africa Twin/transalp territorycaptcha: GGAYX
>>28044566"friction modified" oil has slippery stuff that will make your clutch slip. Here in Burgerland we buy diesel truck oil at the auto parts store when they don't have bike-specific stuff. Like Shell Rotella. You can also look on the back of the package for "JASO MA" or MA2 rating. This is the Japanese motorcycle standard, where it's tested on an actual motorcycle clutch.
Is the tinnitus permanent guys
>>28044731And it's going to get worse!
>>28044731Yes. If it bugs you, the appropriate treatment is hypnosis.
>>28044679Close to 60 vs close to 90 hp — neither is "fast", both are fast enough, and the torx are almost the same.
>>28044731Just vibe with it.
>>28044731we warned you to use earpro
>>28044731me trying not to laugh when the 'tough guys' who 'don't need no pussy ear protection' find out the hard way
>>2804473980-100hp seems like a sweet spot to me. i'm sure the 700x is still fun i just think i'm set on africa twin. that white cow pattern one makes my pp do things
>>28044731We warned you about the wind noise bro.
>>28044437His point still stands though
>>28044607What a LOAD of Bullshit
>>28044807M version has a bunch of bullshit add-ons like carbon wheels. if you care about performance over aesthetics then don't buy the overpriced special edition with carbon. shrimple as. there's reasons it costs more but those reasons don't matter to everyone
>>28044763>>28044750I did use it but I got some reusable rubber earplugs with a low noise reduction rating which I guess just didn't do anything. I have the high noise reduction foamies but I don't like using those because they work too good. They make the pre-existing tinnitus just sound deafening. I need some sound at all times in order to cover up the ringing.
>>28044315I didn't realize that 113nm torque is less than 113 nm torque.
>>28044774It's not only the wind noise.Imagine the hearing loss of a typical loudfag.
are there any good bikes/scooters <110cc that can keep up with 80~km/h traffic? BC has strange insurance grades and <110 is a single tier where it's very low. I am not going on any major highways. seems like most bikes are 50cc and then they jump up to 125
>>28044888I think they made some cub variants in that displacement.
>>28044893oh it seems like those were called the passport in canada, pretty much only 80s ones around it seems. there's also the navi but that thing seems pretty uncomfortable for long rides + i'm 6'

>>28043986yes
>>28044774Is that fucking homosuck? The kids of today should defend themselves against the 00s.
people say to lube your chain with gear oil, wtf do you use to get it on? your hand?
>>28044942from what i've seen bicycle people use. either a small plastic basin full of the oil and spin the chain while it's submerged in it or use a dropper.

This bike wouldn't look out of place in 1960, this bike looks nice today.Why aren't there any non-retro designs that can survive the time?
>>28045225what car / bike combo you got
>>28044261The five speed solidmount Sporties are cheap (that one should be low 3s/high 2Ks so bargain), rugged and a breeze to maintain with very low upkeep costs (nearly all work is easy to DIY).They're buzzy because they retain the solid engine mounts dating to the 1950s but I don't mind that (I have two 1997s, one bought to flip with a 2000 1200S engine and forks, and an 89" stroker scored for less than the kit with frame and engine case mods) and a third in parts. Avoid the earlier four speed models because they inherited the late Ironhead "clutchernator" alternator and trans door setup prone to failure.I prefer mid controls but there are plenty of stock takeoffs for sale. My rides all get mids so I can deload my back on bumps.Everything ya need to know about Sporties lives here and on related Sportsterpedia:https://www.xlforum.net/homepage-communityGet a factory service manual and parts catalog (no substitutions).

>>28045240>Why aren't there any non-retro designs that can survive the time?There are, you just have dogshit taste. We hit "modern" aero in like 2002 and so faired bikes from after that look basically modern. The only big change since then visible from the road is headlights switching to LED, which took a while to not be hideous.
>>28045334Manufacturers STILL seem to have no fucking clue what to do with LED lights. Smaller for the sake of smaller, but they do it seemingly ugly as fuck on purpose too. The nu-Katana shows that simple lights can still work with modern design language yet nobody copies that bike including Suzuki.
>>28045240I think the Italians have it nailed down. even the sport bikes
Postin’ again since nobody responded.I took my bike in to an independent shop to get my front forks rebuilt back in August. I’ve called twice since then and they keep telling me they are “waiting on parts,” particularly the fork bushings. Should I believe them and keep being patient or just say fuck it and go get it back and do it myself? I understand that my bike is 20 years old so parts can be slow to come but this is fucking ridiculous.
>>28045361just do it yourself, rebuilding forks is like one step up from swapping brake pads
Why does Yamaha put tiny fucking gas tanks on all their new bikes? I mean the R3's is okay but the MT07, MT09, and R9 are the same size as that and the R7 is even smaller. A CBR600 has a full 30% more fuel capacity than an R9 and should have about the same consumption.
Instead of paying $250 at the shop to adjust my rear shock preload I decided to do it myself. I took these measurements in cm. Wheel Free off ground = 58.42Wheel On ground = 56.8325 My fat ass Sitting on the bike 53.34I have looked online and see conflicting formulas on calculating the sag. These measurements are with the the preload on 4 with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the hardest. This is for a 23 honda cb500x. I am tempted to upgrade the rear shock. It seems quite easy with a center stand. I don't want to spend more than $500 on a rear shock though. I don't need anything fancy just something easily adjustable one that makes the bike more stable and plush.
Ordered a rear brake reservoir but the coating is incomplete. Should I worry about it flaking off or peeling over time and getting in the brake lines?
>>28045373Do you need the fork oil syringe measure tool?
>>28045321Get crashbar cage then
>>28045255Is the vibration on those solid mount sportsters enough to make your hands and dick go numb? How long would you want to ride one on the highway in a single trip before significant pain or discomfort?
My fuel tank looks like it’s about to fucking explode with bumps all over the top and the only replacement I can find is like 300+USD I’m killing myself

I'm in korea and the delivery riders are absolutely nutscraziest thing i saw was one guy taking a corner at speed, leaning the bike over, while one hand was off the bar holding his damn phone. he was looking at his fucking phone while cornering. absolute nuts
I get 38mpg with my CB650 but they claim 57.6. Is there anyone that can really ride such a fun bike so slowly to get that kind of mileage?
I've been riding my XT250 more on-road lately than off-road, and it feels perfect for the roads around here at that speed. It absolutely can hit 80 mph when it needs to. I was thinking of getting an EJK and maybe a front sprocket upgrade to help its top end performance. Think I should go full-in on that idea? It is just an XT250 but honestly I'm not liking off-road around here as much as I would like. I think the trails just suck too much or are made for 4x4s.
>>28045427City or Highway?
>>28045426Pro gaming
>>28045240The problem is 100% because of plastics. None of these old motorbikes that have plastic farings survive past 20 or 30 years without intensive maintenance to the plastic. Meanwhile these retro designs survive forever because examples of sleek naked bikes will exist as long as bondo and rustoleum still exists.
>>28045435Mixed, maybe half and half
