>>28109924That's not indian anon.
>>28109924I miss me too>>28109925Whaaa.
>>28109918wtf
>>28109921It's been a while, but it's fun, like you're doing something you shouldn't be doing.
>>28109920Love the swoopy sidestand
>>28109920I still remember your description of the service manual instructions."Simply reinstall all removed parts.""Literally be yourself tier instructions."Fucking kills me.
>>28109949You forgot the happy person drawing or something

ideal first bike for 50" inseam? I really like the british sportbike look but I don't think it's a good fit for me
Now this is a thread bros. Harley
>>28109960>scared to get wetCorrect.>scared to go outside comfortAlso correct.The average person is too scared to even ride a motorcycle to begin with.They drive pickup trucks or minivans with no passengers or cargo, just as transport.
>>28109952might not be the worst idea but I don't wanna sink all that money on a beginner bike I'll probably drop>>28109954insensitive and rude
>>28109962>>28109967
>>28109962Yamaha Niken.
>>28109967Can you do a street glide next
>>28109948Jesus how tall are you
>>28109963Hell yeah
>>28109960I normally don't do it, because it can be a pain and I have multiple cars. If it's not raining hard and I really want to ride, I'll ride.
>>28109976>painted cylinder headsI don’t know why, but something about it just ruins the bike for me. It’s like some retard got a little too excited with the spray paint
>>28109977>I have multiple carsWork car.Personal car.If you have multiple cars and the second one isn't a work car you're a hoarder/compensating/child brain.I lost interest in fancy cars when I hit puberty.Whenever I see a grown man in a lamborghini or whatever all I see is a child in a mans body, with a small dick.
I can access Autodata with my school login. Post me a bike you want technical specs on and I'll download it and add it to a google drive folder. Be nice with it and don't send my Gmail any spam. I'll do this or as long as I stay awake or my login no longer works. I think it's just a temp one.The Technical Specs sheet isn't going to be much different to what you'd already find in a workshop manual, but they're useful as a quick reference tool.

>>28109980it looks like a toy bike it's cute
>>28109949>>28109951They unironically are "tighten till it feels right" and "have a friend hold the bike"
>>28109983>Post me a bike you want technical specs on2006 Yamaha FZ6 if you can pls, I've got the manual but I'm trying to aggregate as much backup data on it as I can thank you based anon C:
>>28109983>>28109985Can you get a Yamaha FZR 400 3BF?
Best bike for 6'4 man with a 10k max budget?I don't actually have 10k, I'd prefer to spend less, I'll be financing the bike, unless you tell me not to.Are bikes cheaper when it's snowing?Are dealers more likely to haggle in winter?Or should I save all winter and make the purchase when the snow is gone?Street/race style bike preferred, I don't like the look of cruisers or dual sports.CC doesn't matter as long as it's over 250 so I can ride highway legally.I was looking at the KTM RC390 but its actually kind of small and I changed my mind since KTM is going completely bankrupt and has reliability issues.
>>28109990>I'll be financing the bike, unless you tell me not to.do not finance a motorcycle
>>28109988>2006 Yamaha FZ6Incoming. There are about 5 different engine models and I'm not sure which one you are, so I'll do 'em all.>>28109989>Yamaha FZR 400 3BFNo-go, sorry. I only see 600, 600R, 750R, 1000 and 1000R.
>>28109992They're offering 4.9% financing for 5 yearsWhat if I only need the loan for like 2-3 months and have it paid off early like that?Still no?Maybe I should look into cheaper options then..Can I even afford an appropriately sized bike as a tall person or are they all fucking 1000cc+?
>>28109994Thanks anyway bro.
>>28109995buy a used ninja 650/SV650(not sv650s), appropriate tall people bikes. Financing is generally a bad idea for other reasons but also financing a bike will make you carry crazy huge full coverage insurance which depending on your history can drive your rate up to fuckoff pricing
>>28109995You aren’t going to want your starter bike 6 months, let alone 5 years.Unless you get a DR650.
>>281099832018 sv650?
>>28109989All done.
>>28110000Checked. Nice
>>28110000I'm not buying a used bike ever again.I want one that hasn't already been fucked up the exhaust pipe.Guess I'll be saving until summer to buy a new ninja.
>>28109981Oh no, some basket weaver thinks I have a small dick because I don't conform to his narrow world view.Geeze, guess I gotta sell them now. You sound retarded and gay.>>28109987Kek
>>28109994>>28110005frankly I'm not sure either but thank you!!!!!! you're very kind anon!!!!
>>28110002It's not my starter bike.I've been riding a used (third owner) ninja 250 for 2 years.I really enjoyed it, it just seemed a bit small.I am VERY disappointed to see that every fucking bike is too small unless I get a fucking 650cc+.I am also blown away to discover that ninja 400, 500, and even some 650 motorcycles only go like 10-20mph faster than ninja 250.Is the ninja 250 just insanely fast for a 250 bike or does everything under 650cc have a speed limiter built in?Like, shouldn't a 500cc motor push at least a quarter faster than a 250, not just 20mph?!
>>28110004Same deal, there are a lot of different engine models. I've only uploaded specifically what released in 2018 otherwise I'd be there all afternoon. If another anon asks for an SV650 from a different year I'll rename those files to be year specific.>>28110010You're welcome.
>>28109986If only it had a black, or chrome, or blonde motor it would be perfect. The painted cylinder heads ruin the whole thing for me>>28110009>twerks down the highwayTotally not gay>>28110010Gay baby feet
>>28110016>Gay baby feetthat was a different anon replying to you last night, do not call me gay baby feet as I have average to large sized feet and do not have balloon ass
>>28110014>I am VERY disappointed to see that every fucking bike is too small unless I get a fucking 650cc+.This but the reverse. Every bike is just too big above 250cc.>duality of man
>>28110009Oh no, a basketweaver said I sound retarded and gayGuess I have to completely change my opinion.Nah, you're still a manchild with tiny dick issues.Sell the blue car for scrap metal, you don't need it.
>>28110014All the sportbikes are going to be cramped. If you’ve been on a 250 you’ll be able to handle a literpeter. Just don’t max out the speedometer the first day. FZ1 might work. Maybe an FJR, Versys 1000, maybe a BMW GS, HARLEY (touring line up), XR650L, you’ve got some choices, but a proper sport bike with a high seat, low clip ons, and high pegs is going to be miserable for anything longer than a few hours
>>28110020>every bike is too big above 250ccFUCK YEAHSHAME on kawasaki for discontinuing the ninja 250.SHAME on every motorcycle company for making every modern sportsbike edgy and bug looking.
>>28110019You’re just gayGot it
>iceberg just dropped>saltberg is about to comeYeah ill call that the end of the season for me
>>28110023Everyone I know irl says I "need" to get a dual sport like the KLR 650 or something.But I don't like the look of dual sport, touring, or harly style bikes.I want a sportsbike.
>be Ducati satellite team for 20 years>win the title>go to Yamaha I think based?
>>28110022I'm sorry you can't afford to have nice toys, anon, but it's quite literally not my problem. Cope and dilate.
>>28110031Dual sports are extremely based and more fun than you know. You could even get something like a KTM690, husky 701, Tenere T7 and get the best of both worlds. And you could get them new and finance your life awayIf you’re dead set on a sport bike get a GSX-R 750 and prepare to spend money customizing it so you fit better, or prepare to not want to ride it longer than an hour, maybe two.
>get different bar ends>vibration goes up bigstyledayum I didn't think it'd make this much of a difference

Picking my up my bike today.
Which one of you is this? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xN6rA68BLHU
>>28110109bunch of retarded attention whores. shame she didn't slide under the wheels of that truck
>>28110055Wish I was rich and muscular like you :(
just noticed a small wet spot under my bike, i think its oilthe thing is, this spot took about 2 weeks to show up, is it still worth looking at?
Is this a full leather costume or just pants? I want to look like this
Has anyone else noticed that kawasaki is exiting the under $5000 bike market while the euro's, chinese, and india are taking up the slack? Looking over the 2025 offerings Kawasaki has abandoned the 400cc's in the US (yet is keeping the Versys 300x?). Suzuki only has their sad GSX250R (over $5000msrp) unless you want a burgman 200. Yamaha kept their MT-03 (and the v-star 250 i guess). Honda still has their rebel but seems to have ditched the CBR300 in the US. Meanwhile you have Triumph, BMW, and KTM offering sub $5000msrp options. Royal Enfield and Cfmoto/Benelli have cheaper options too. I get inflation and post-covid bullshit dragged up the prices, so is $6000 the new $5000? Also wtf is up with Kawasaki and why has Suzuki never seemed to care about the beginner market?
>>28110113Would you rather have sexy time with her or see her slide under the truck?
Did anyone here have a chance to ride one of those high torque electric motorbikes? Stuff with 500+ Nm of torque, I mean.
>>28110129Suzuki has dirt cheap beginner bikes outside the US market and they are quite successful.Kawasaki in the Australian market sells the cheapest dirt bikes and I think the J4 have their area of who sells what the cheapest.
*TINK**TINK**TINK*AHEM...EXCUSE ME, EVERYONE.TRANSSEXUALS. Have a nice day.
>>28110182jesus christ i thought you were joking
>>28110230YUCKKKK
biker hate is so tiresome...
>>28110123Look like a cartoon? How old are you
>>28109910Been away for a while. What is everyone arguing about lately?
>>28110233Kek I would not have returned it
>>28110235trannies
>>28110235stop riding to coffee shops, just brew your shit at home
>>28110182In this case of >>28110230, there isn't a gearbox so 1200Nm is what you get at the rear wheel. An H2 in 3rd gear is also 1000+ Nm at the rear wheel if my calculations are right. >>28110233Perfectly normal reaction to be honest, for south America that is.
>>28110244Anon, that’s my espresso machine in the background on my kitchen counter.
>>28110182You can't really compare torque numbers between electric and gas motorcycles, at least not without doing a lot of calculations. I may have like 100Nm of motor torque which is on par with an R1, but gearing means that at the wheel it's much less (just over 500Nm). Because gas bikes have multiple gears you'd have to do calculations for each one, an electric bike may pull better in higher gears but the gas bike could have higher peak torque in lower ones.>>28110230The trick here is they're advertising the wheel torque, because the motor is in the wheel the motor and wheel torque are one and the same. Energica is pretty good at specifying both motor and wheel torque, so while they may only have 222Nm at the motor it's nearly 1200Nm at the wheel and comparable to the Verge (although with the Energica you have the option of modifying the gearing and getting even more torque if you wanted).
>>28110261reeeee false advertising. not like any of us are likely to buy 30-40k bikes anyway. I know my ass isn't
Why do boomers say this isn't a real harley? I don't know anything about them but this actually looks cool and is the only one someone under 40 would be caught riding
>>28110267The nice things about bikes is that an additional thousand goes a long way, where in the car world than is not really the case. Roughly speaking, an nx500 is 8.5k, a v-strom 650 9.5k transalp is 11k. After that, the "exclusive" range starts at 14k. That 5.5k gap between a restricted adv and a multistrata v2.You need to bring 20k to turn you Japanese sedan into a Euro one.
>>28110311yeah bikes are cheap, which is why the expensive ones are a different demographic, namely rich fair-weather riders and track dweebs. definitely a market for expensive touring bikes though like goldwang and GSA but most people can snag a used 10k bike for whatever needs they have
>>28110178truck
>>28110314>yeah bikes are cheapThey used to. Not anymore
>>28110320A SV650 has more or less tracked inflation. I didn't follow the car market, but somewhere in the last decade the (sub) 10k Aygo turned into a 20k Aygo-X as the cheapens model available.
>>281103332013:>please buy my RGV 250 VJ22 for 4!2024:>15k I know what I gotAnd many more like this that doubled, tripled and quadrupled the value.
>>28110335That sucks. Perfect storm of natural decline in supply due to aging, and the people that had posters of those bikes as kids, now being mid career and having lots of disposable income. That and the world being such a shit hole that everybody longs for stuff from the past.
>>28110320lol
>>28110335Miss those times so fucking much bros>being a poorfag wasn't that bad>everything wasn't a fucking touristy disneyland>everything wasn't flooded with shitskinsThe 50cc two strokes were THE teenager bikes to have, especially the DT 50 LC. You saw them kited out with handmade exhausts, tiny bicycle tires, barely legal tiny headlights and always up to no good.Cheap and plentiful, nowadays you are lucky to find one for less than 2k... for a 50cc. Some even ask 4k and 5k.Pic related is 2k, how is a 16 year old kid going to buy it?
>>28110358>>28110370Not limited to two strokes. Early 90's sportbikes are going for crazy prices too. Sportbikes after 2005 are selling with the same pricetags as they were 10 years ago, miles and tear go up, value doesn't go down.
>>28109910
>>28110380my guess is>new or inexperienced rider>stopped paying attention to road for one second>look up see brake lights close>lock rear, panic more when minor slide begins and whiskey throttle when it straightens back outpoor guy, good learning experience to be less retarded next time tho
>>28110415Or what happened to me but I doubt it,>Gets new rear tire>Guy at shop tightens up rear brake linkage more than I was used to>Press brakes and lock wheel by mistake Unless the rear brake is hydraulic. I cant tell.
>>28110370A while back, I stumbled upon an early 00's article about price increases after the Euro was introduced. Price increases were a common complaint back then. For the research they asked readers to mail in old receipts from shops to figure out if it was real or perceived.Almost all snacks, drinks increased at least 30%, some items increased 70% compared to 5 years earlier while claimed inflation was 3% a year or thereabouts.Short version, we all got raped, still get raped and if you compare this increases against the official inflation figures something simple like drinking a beer in bar is 70% more expensive than it was 1998.

>>28110267To be fair wheel torque is the only thing they can advertise. I also haven't seen any manufacturers compare their numbers to gas bikes, saying shit like "more torque than a litre bike" (although there probably are some that have). They just give the specs and then it's usually the reviewers and news sites that do the comparison without knowing how shit really works.

>>28111055 (dubs)This is my second set. They’re bad ass and the gold standard for dual sport tires as far as I’m concerned. I do a lot of off-roading though, if I lived in the burbs or the city I’d run a different tire. Had d605’s on my klx250 and they just barely cut it off-road
Give me ONE reason I shouldn't finance the Indian Scout Bobber for my first bike if all I want is v-twin crooser and I will never sell or tire of it

>>28111104Dropping $5 the amount on a 10k mile beginner bike someone already ripped the piss out of that I'll want to sell after 1 season is the "smart" choice?

>>28111097Get a 1200 sportster for half the price

>>28111110No you can find a decent one for around 1500 I think. I see decent looking shadows in my area for that price.Just because it is used dosn't mean it was heavily abused. Use your judgment to gague if the guy looks like he takes care of it.
>>28111113Ok? I've never gotten this argument. I will have to replace the same parts if I dropped a shitbike
>>28111120>>28111131No ABS
>>28109960>I am the only motorcycle on the road 70% of the yearI feel that. I find people are scared of wind too. There are at least a dozen motorcycle owners in my neighborhood but they only ride very occasionally. Basically on weekends when the weather is perfect for t-shirt and jeans. So like four weeks worth of days out of the year.
>>28110415I think after he locked it up (and didn't ride it out) he over corrected getting too timid on the front brake leaver. But this really comes down to practice. I've always got to remind myself to get on a parking and get back to basics every so often.
>>28111143I discovered my neighbor has some sort of early 2000s bmw bike yesterday.he's lived there for 4 years

>>28111224I have scrubbed every inch of the bike and that’s as good as it gets
>>28111097Do it. I was going to but plan to wait till further into winter for bottom barrel 2nd hand prices. It's an exceptional bike, who cares if you drop it that only adds character and gives you an excuse to fuck with it if you wanna fix whatever you've done to it.Repairs might be a lil pricy but few and far between. Indian is a far more refined American motorcycle company. Personally I want a red vintage spec' scout
>>28111177>>28111182>you don't ne-ACK
>>28111246>far more refined Compared to what? A bicycle?It’s not a coincide all the indian riders in dbt eventually just take the Harleypill. You can do whatever mental gymnastics you need to to justify your purchase but don’t some of us have been there and done that. You’ll see!

>>28111345I’ve ridden every bike in Indian’s line up and put 30k miles on a $32k Indian I bought in 2018 that lost 1/3rd of its value in 3 years. It was taken care of meticulously and still was completely clapped.Go look at a used 2016 scout and compare it to a 2016 sportster 1200. One will still look new, and the other will be on its last leg.Your don’t think it be like it is, but it do anon. Harleys been making bikes for 120 years and Polaris has been making bikes for less than 10. There refinement just isn’t there. “”Indian”” was nu-Harley before nu-Harley existedPic always related. My 25 year old Harley looking better than it did new. Good luck even finding a running Scout in 25 years. Cant even find parts for one now lol

I don't care what you ride. A cruiser, sportbike, scooter, he*k even an E-bike. So long as it has two wheels and a motor you are frens and are allowed to post here.
>>28111503You're trying too hard and spelling wrong on purpose for attention.
>>28111495Youre right i lied
>>28111507That's why you're wearing a temu plate carrier. Fucking scrub. You never served.
>>28111475You look like a smelly dirty rigger. Maybe even a labourer
>>28111505I never asked for thisBut picrelIm gonna find you and HOWVE YOUVE BEEN outta there, i dont waste time with non harley owner associate fanclub editions
I have a revised opinion of the sportster after getting it out on its own for a 3 hour ride with no traffic. I drove it on the Palisades Parkway all the way up and down both ways which is a curvy parkway. I found that the abysmal ground clearance and the weird steering geometry both prevented me from pushing the bike as fast as I would want to go. I didn't feel confident that I would be able to swerve if a deer popped out, or that I could take turns without running out of lean angle and flying off the road. The suspension is also pretty bouncy and bad and I did not like hitting bumps while turning one bit. Even though the 883 engine is slower than my 650 Honda, it wasn't even the engine that slowed me down the most, it was the rest of the bike. Yet for all the lack of performance, it wasn't even comfortable compared to a regular bike. You'd think that a cruiser built for comfort and not speed should at least be comfortable. But after 3 hours I found that my tailbone was killing me, my spine hurts, and my hips were cramping from the weird leg angle. And the vibrations were really killing my hands and feet. I ride the same path and longer with the CB650, and I can ride that bike for 5-6 hours with absolutely no pain. So in conclusion, if there's any Harley worth buying, it is certainly not a Sportster. I am not sure what the point of that bike even is, since it's bad in the city and heavy in traffic, but sucks on the highway, and sucks in the twisties too.
>>28111475>>28111494You’re certifiable my dude. Fucking based>>28111455 (dubs)Maybe one day right>>28111484Nice, is that a Harley?>>28111503I had a FXLRS for a couple years. Put like 20k miles on it before I traded it for my road king. It was definitely based but I still prefer the RESPECT of a twin camYou JUST KNOW that motherfucker was MADE IN AMERICAAlso the new sportster S is faster and quicker than an MT09 and this drives DBT (don’t be trans) fucking mad
im gonna start working as a security guard bwoswould it be a smart idea to ride in my uniform to work?
>>28111517the point is customizing it yourself and being retro. if you want something fast or comfortable you just get whatever stock bike does that niche best used for like 3k and pay someone else to fix it at the cost of being lame
>>28111517Of course your spine hurts after riding a superlow 883 with 5” baby shocks meant for a 5’3 lesbian. Those are the worst. That’s why all the dudes with RESPECT are riding 1200’s or Dynas with 14” shocks
>>28111543>those shocksRESPECT.
>>28111517Also, the sportster is actually the best bike Harley has ever made, it might be the best bike ever made by anyone, but you need to see it as a blank canvas, you need a vision.
Guy at work has a Yamaha R1. Looks cool but the dimensions would probably be too small for me.
>>28111566frick.

Dropped my bike because I didn't see a speed bump downhill at a corner in an area that was new to me. My coworker keeps giving me shit about it. Bike isn't really damaged just some scratches on the brake lever, the frame slider, back of the mirror and exhaust.
