How do we make motorcycles popular again?
>>28129648Remind the nobikes that it's one of the most socially fulfilling hobbies with more and more women getting into it. However you'll need to find a way to communicate that the risk is not as bad as people claim.
>>28129648They're literally more popular than ever
>>28129648More? Any bike meet there's dozens, sometimes hundreds of people and boomers are properly isolated due to being huge fags
>>28129648Why would I want it to be popular? So prices can sky rocket even more?
>>28129648Bikes are for dykes
>>28129658No they really aren't. The chart doesn't show it, but sales have been pretty bad in 24
Motorcycles not being as popular is good. We are seeing a huge tech revolution. Soon all bikes will have 6 axis imus and quick shifters. Adventure bike tech trickle down is good, hopefully more bikes will get those dynamic headlights cuz I cannot see shit at night on my R1.
>>28129760Kill yourselfMotorcycles should have less tech and be more deadly.
>>28129764Naw I'll keep my lift control and ABS
Ban annoying attention-seeking fags with loud exhausts redlining around the neighbourhood from owning them, otherwise people will just assume it's a penis extender.
>>28129821>>28129826Faggots
Ride a motorcycle without ABS and you'll be blown away at how good the brakes feel.
>>28129843>fags>no uNo u
>>28129648get rid of all the stacies texting in their suburbans who will turn you into a red smear on the pavement and go "heehee oopsie!"
When the gas price doubles ppl will into motorcycles.
>>28129704Forced meme
>>28129648Love my harley
>>28129826Loud pipes save lives anon, it forces you to look where the sound is coming from which in turn dramatically increases survival for a rider.>>28129760Throw in the towel old geezer if you can't see or ride enough to the point you lean on technology as a crutch. Shame on you.
>>28130003Nobody pays attention to loud pipes
1. Abolish helmet laws2. Make cheap bikes that aren't chink mopeds; there is zero reason for a Sportster to cost more than 10k.
>>28130003Nope. Love my ABS, love me TCS, love me lift control and quick shifter.I want brighter headlights that project wider and farther down the road because when you riding at 130 at night you literally cannot see shit
>>28129648Pay me more money and don't force me to spend money and time on a 3 day training event to get my license. It doesn't help that brown people and boomers are hitting bikes at stopped red lights all the time.
>>28130077payed walled and filtered by a 3 day class where all you do is talk about motorcycles and ride them. legitimately fun social time and I'm antisocial
>>28130003I'm fine with it out on the road, I always leave them space beside me to filter if I know they're there, leave a big gap when behind them so they don't go under my wheels if they fall off, don't act like a cunt if they filter in front of me and stall when the lights change. I like motorbikes so I try to be kind to motorcyclists.I'm talking about faggots redlining past my house on a 50k road with straight pipes. They're faggots, like fuccbois in their "active exhaust" amgs and bmws
>>28130058Ok boomer
>>28130091I didn't have to do that to get a truck or mountain bike or dirtbike/quad. Money is tight and buying the motorcycle plus tag title is not cheap, its very gay they force you to do the classes that eat up 3 days and 300$.
>>28129655>However you'll need to find a way to communicate that the risk is not as bad as people claim.This. 99.9%+ of the risk is up to the rider. Consider these stats:>got my licence 35 years ago>FJ1200, ZZR1100, Blackbird, Gen 1 Busa, Gen 2 Busa>still daily the gen 2>never crashed>don't wear protective gear 90% of the time
>>28129655>However you'll need to find a way to communicate that the risk is not as bad as people claim.But it really is
>>28130140Yes. Boomers bought motorcycles more than any other generation for a reason
>>28130157Cool. Post your motorcycles
>>28130168Don't have one, too expensive for a toy.
>>28130171Oh, you're larping
>>28130149Survivorship bias the post, borderline lying. Hard to believe you don't know this if you know a good amount of bikers
>>28130190Nobody cares. Ride and have fun
>>28130195That's fine but don't lie about the risks to people, its immoral. I know people who have a permanent limps, insane medical bills, and still love to ride which is fine with me.
>>28130216Tldr. You don't have a motorcycle. So idc what u think :)
>>28130217Middle schoolers going crazy on thanksgiving break. You have to be 18 or older to post here little troublemaker.
>>28130227Ahh, so you're nu. Makes sense
>>28129648I just have no desire to ride mine anymore. It's sitting in my shed collecting dust, it's probably been at least 5 years since I've gone out on it.
>>28130271Sounds like the bike was lame
>>28129648It's too cold to ride right now, also I want a 2nd bike.
>>28130281>too coldFUCKING PUSSY...I joke. Riding in shit weather doesn't make you tuff or cool. The older I get the more I don't ride in bad conditions
>>28130285Yeah I'm too old for that shit now too, I'll ride in the rain sure if I have to but it's about to snow and I can't be arsed. When I was in texas, I would never ride in the summer because it'd be 105+ and I'd sweat buckets. Looks like I'd piss myself sometimes from the amount of sweat that oozed out of me.
>>28130288I fucking feel that on a spiritual lvl my guy. Last two rallies I went to I got fucking waterlogged. I'm breaking out the trailer next time. No shame on my end.
>>28129764Agreed, it will keep them cheap and accessible.
>>28130276I guess so. It's am 86 Yamaha FZX700. I should just sell it, it's a rare bike and a """classic""".
>>28129648we need to bring back sidecars
>>28130341They haven't left
>>28130345>>28130341I mean make them a decent alternative to automobiles like how they used to be. Nowadays they are an overpriced novelty, boomers get trikes now when they get old too, instead of getting a sidecar
>>28130349Ok. So buzzwords. Gotcha
>>28130216>Don't lie about the risks>He says while posting a WEBM of someone intentionally taking on a ton of extra risk to go faster while disregarding basic motorcycle safetyIf you were smarter you'd understand that the main reason the accident rate is so high is because motorcycles attract people like in your video who seek out speed and adrenaline. It's nowhere near as dangerous as it's made out to be if you're responsible.
>>28129648put lead in the gasoline again
>>28130003loud pipes actually make people swerve into bikes more
>>28130393the typical motorcycle rider is not responsible though
>>28130400Fake n gay
>>28129655Kek your risk of death or dismemberment is exponentially higher on a motorcycle compared to a car.
>>28129755>people got more risk averse after the GFCWhoa
>>28130077>i don't want to do any training>people who haven't had any training are crashing all the timeGreat logic.
>>28130410You sound like a wimp. I was a coroner and mortician. Been riding for a long time.
>>28130402That is half of what I said, yes. Now do you understand the other half of the post?
The old Nightsters were nice looking.
>>28130393>It's nowhere near as dangerous as it's made out to be if you're responsible.This is just false at every level. What would be a fender bender with a car will break your leg and a normal accident will put you in the hospital with a lot of new metal inside of you. I already posted proof you are 28 times more likely to die on the road than a car mile for mile. A lot of people eat it at stop lights not moving. That's a fully acceptable risk to have fun but stop with the bullshit. I have known so many cripples who where not ricky racing and ate it irl and the stats show it. Motorcycles are fun they are cool and are also dangerous full stop.>>28130414You think three days of doing basic shit changes anything? People who know how to ride crash as well. If a car runs a red light and t bones you it doesnt matter if you were riding for 20 years or 2 days. Do you want me to post CT scans of people I know whom I drove to the hospital for the exact scenario I just laid out?
>>28130564Ok nobike
>>28130579 better luck next time my low IQ friend ;(
>>28130597Nice pic of motorcycles you don't own. :)
>>28130610Only one of those titles is a motorcycle
>>28129648Society needs to be poor enough for the motorcycle to be popular.
>>28130621Nice larp, kid
>>28129648>trusting a billion thirdies to not turn into you or behave like subhumans on the roadyou could try putting lead in the paint again
>>28130564the bikies know their shit is stupid. if you keep asking none of them have ever gone 10/10 on a track or know what a rain line is because oopsie i mowed the lawn turns into broken bones quick. they dont even get simracing to learn either
>>28130646img did not attach
>>28129655>with more and more women getting into it.From zero to one?
>>28130725
>>28129655>more and more women getting into it.if ever there were a reason to stay away from a hobby
>>28130174OP asked how to make bikes more popular and I explained precisely why nobikes are nobikes,from the perspective of a nobike. Try not being retarded
@28130776Look how hard ur trying
>>28129648I like bikes but i like being one piece more
>>28130782Sounds like you are a bitch
>Sounds like you are a bitch
>>28129764That bike has like 90hp
>>28130564>Not as dangerous as they're made out to be if you're responsible>Yeah but they're dangerousYou completely ignored the "as they're made out to be" part, you disingenuous retard. Why don't you stop for 2 fucking seconds and find the stats of how those 28x were riding and the gear they were wearing. Which was the entire point, you dumb nigger. If everyone rode as responsible as grandma does in her Odyssey that number would be a fraction of what it is. Is this board too stupid to comprehend an argument, or are you all strawmanning? This is as bad as the vidya boards at this point.
>>28130798You can kill yourself perfectly well with 90hp, but the GSXR 750 SACS made like 130 hp and has a 180mph top speed.
>>28130847lol no it didn't an SRAD only has 128hp
>>28130217Based
>>28130976Nigger what? I already said it has like 130 hp. OMG off by 2 hp it's so over. Top speed can change depending on elevation, temperature, gearing, etc but they do 175-180 mph maxed out
>>28131061>pretending to be retarded Pathetic and weak
>>28131111nice quads, but again, nigger what? GSXR's are fast
>>28131117An SRAD is from 1996 The bike in the op is from the 80s
>>28131121Ah I just realized you said "SRAD" in your earlier post. Nah dawg its not SRAD in the OP it's SACS, that's the old air & oil cooled system. The bike in OP would be an '88 or newer
>>28131144not OP, I meant the bike in this post>>28129764
>>28131144Nice 'attempt' at trolling.
>>28131156stfu retard
>>28131144your a moron https://www.globalsuzuki.com/motorcycle/smgs/digital-archive/2_bike/sports_081.php#p3
>>28131199oh shit I'm mixing up the 750 and the 1100. The 1100 has the 130 HP. Your link seems underated for the 750 though
>>28129648We don’t. Gatekeep your hobbies, lest the women, trannies and Jews come in and spoil everything. It’s bad enough the leather-clad Hurrley boomers doing their tough guy LARP refuse to die off. We don’t need more scum bringing things down.
>>28131221japan limited domestic bikes to 75hp and 750cc until the early 90s
>>28131515This. We don't need biker guuurls attention whoring and nobike lesbians demanding greater representation, watering the hobby down until there's nothing left and they can treat it like a safe space, not that they're actually even interested in bikes.
I'm a girl and I ride
>>28131595ywnbaw
>>28131538They were sold outside of Japan
>>28129648Lower their price.I guarantee if it's cheap enough, people will buy it.
>>28130844>all riders are always driving like jackassesI addressed your point you're the one lacking stats for the claim most people on bikes ride like a retard most of the time. Its not true. What is true is it is more dangerous to ride a motorcycle this is so obvious you're the only one who has to much CTE from crashing to realize this. Let the non brain damaged people take it from here.>If everyone rode as responsible as grandma does in her Odyssey that number would be a fraction of what it isI wonder if kia boys and lockdowns with niggers in hellcats drive like grandma. Not like street racing or drag races on public roads are a thing. Right dipshit?
>>28129655The risk, if anything, is worse than people think. I don't live in some massive city, but we still have multiple bikers -acking every week outside of winter. It's true most crashes are from riding like a retard, but it's hard not to ride like a retard on a sport bike.
>>28131843>all riders are always driving like jackassesStopped reading there. I literally never said anything like that. Stop being such a disingenuous faggot
>>28131895>all riders are always driving like jackasses>I literally never said anything like thatYou>If everyone rode as responsible as grandma does in her Odyssey that number would be a fraction of what it isThat directly implies they ride like jackasses and if they rode like grandma ie safer and slower they would be fine. I pray for your brain damage that it can be healed one day.
>>28129755I think the timeline of when people stopped buying bikes tells it allThe problem is economic not interestI would love to get a bike, but i can't even afford a used one let alone a new one
>>28130077If you can't afford the class, you can't afford to ride. The class costs less than a decent helmet does.
>>28131902I was talking about the deaths from the 28x number you braindead fuck. Re-read my post then promptly kys
>>28131929The 28x number is what we are both talking about, you're implying that that number is that high because they ride like jackholes. Bro you said if they rode like grandma they would be fine and that number would be a fraction of what it is relating to the x28 number. You are struggling to follow a conversation you are apart of right now. Im starting to feel bad for being mean to you now...
>>28131221That isn't the bike in the drawing it doesn't have the pdf valve on the forks The bike in the op is a 'slabside' the one you posted is a 'slingshot'
Why do we want motorcycles to be more popular anyway? I'm happy riding whether others do or don't.>>28129760>dynamic headlight??? wtf is that, just use a bigger bulb retardpicrel is a Royal Enfield (copied straight from the 60s) and it has EFI, ABS, electric starting and a fuel gauge. That's too much fucking tech, if I designed it it wouldn't even have a battery. ABS can stay.>>28130168Already used pic but it's a Honda VTR 250 naked
>this thread'ove 'zuki 'imple as.
>>28132561>dynamic headlightMy understanding is that you can use a matrix that lights up everything but the guy coming the other way. You don't dip the headlight it just stops pointing where the oncoming traffic is.I'm going to file it under self driving for now.
>>28129648Same way they push the tranny agenda, by propagandizing to children. There are a bunch of children on my block and I let them sit on the bikes and tell them how cool and fast the bikes are. I do wheelies and they all cheer. They say they can't wait to be old enough to ride. Could be 5 more recruits right there. I also have a TU250 which I use to teach other people how to ride. I got 2 of my friends and my ex gf to start riding already. You need to be an ambassador for motorcycles in your community. Also, ride safe and never get hurt because if you crash the normies will think that bikes are dangerous
Yesterday I was riding on the outskirts of my city, a nice hour and a half ride. When I was coming back home there was a fucking cow on the middle of the road, it just spawned out of nowhere when I took a curve, somehow I managed to dodge it, but holy shit, sometimes you can get hurt in a matter of seconds, even when is not even your fault.and no, I don't live in india.
>>28132637HOT
>>28131894>hard NOT to ride like a retardSkill issue. Do better on that impulse control before you consider any serious hobby. Otherwise It's darwinism at its finest
>>28129648by making them cost lessright now a decent bike is 10-12k and insurance is 3k, who the fuck can afford that to start off with for a 3 season vehicle
