I just put a new front sprocket on my TW200 and now my new top speed is 74mph bros. I can cruise on 65mph interstates with throttle to spare. I used to be maxing at 63 and torturing the engine at 55.

I thought it was going to hit the sprocket cover, but actually it worked out perfectly brahs, GP shift is a-go. Fuck yeah.

Unfortunately my chain, sprocket, and rear wheel dampeners need to be changed out, least its all bretty cheap. Oil filters should be here on the weekend or early next week too. Lil 390 should be feeling bretty good by the end of next week I think.

"Normal bike stuff" while being limited to 100km and spending at least an hour charging, yeah.
High-range bikes are heavy pigs, light bikes have pathetic ranges, and fast-charging bikes like Yadea Kemper that can get to 80% in 10-15 minutes did not hit the market yet.

You're probably 2 decades to early, anon. I dunno, get a PhD in Chemistry and trade your youth for a nobel prize in Chemistry for solving the energy density problem with batteries.

Either way though, I fully expect every g20 country to ultimately ban recreation and small ICE engines by then whether a real alternative exists or not, because we love painting ourselves into corners as a species.

The problem is that you trade it for riding on exploding blue crystals instead
and the fires they create can't be put out with water.

yes yes, but at least 30 congolese kids directly died or got lung cancer from making my magic crystal box

Yeah, if I'll focus on materials science these 2 decades will fly by. But nah.

Ah yes, the VW harlequin special.

The only way faster than the bike itself to convey to the world that the rider has autism.

Tbh you could just wait till you dump your viffer and then slowly swap each panel over time to produce the same effect but with purpose.

Well my red bike already has a blue front fender from the old owner. And the tail plastic is cracked on both sides and the only one on eBay is blue but it happens to match the fender so I'm thinking of just shoving it on

Well why? It can go 65mph, the speed limit on interstates is 65, you can go in the right lane where people follow that, and avoid the left lane where people are going 70+.

After the sprocket upgrade it's not even close to redlining even at 65. I guess I'm in shape though so a small engine can propel me fine most people on here are 300+ lbs and need a 1500cc wide seat windshield fat boy bike to feel comfortable for their fat ass

Where I live the default Interstate is 70mph (or 75mph away from the city,) but speeds up to 95mph are normal even in the metro loop. Any bike going under 70 is going to have a bad time.

My bike needs a full service, but I'm a dumb wrenchlet so I decided I'm not doing things like checking valve clearances or changing brake fluid. My questions are, should I have the fork oil changed, and should I do it myself? I read someone online saying that it's only worth changing the oil along with the fork seals, and to only do that if they're leaking, which mine aren't. Changing fork oil looks pretty easy compared to the fork seals.

I realize I sounded a little patronizing, I didn't mean it that way. Riding the hell out of a TW200 on the highway is pretty cool, I just didn't know they could go that fast. The whole reason I chose it on the course was that it was the slowest bike they had so I figured it would be the easiest bike for the test.
>>28643175
I go back and forth on this, I have a dr650 so I run into similar situations, but the thing is that having more bike won't make the soccer mom slower

I almost cried today. I was riding my Honda Grom to the haircutting place and when I came back after my haircut I got back on and got on the bike to ride home when this group of 4 guys on sports bikes rolled up and said "FUCK IS THAT NIGGA" and began circling me for 10 fucking minutes so I couldn't drive out and leave. When I finally had a chance to escape their loops around me I tried speeding down out of the parking lot and getting onto the road. Once I got on and thought I escaped they followed and just sped past at 85+ in the 45mph road intentionally to humiliate me for my small bike.

I'll be in Vancouver until Tuesday, but the weather is supposed to start being shitty.
