Why would anyone buy an R7 when for the same price you can buy an MT-09?
For just 1k more you're getting much more of a bike. Genuinely asking, who's the target audience for the R7?

Anons you should remember this already. Displacement on a local market usually depends on the local motorcycle licenses. In the EU it's 50, 125, ~500+cc. In the US bikes are usually sold with 300cc+ because reasons. Everything else is basically thirdy countries where you buy 250cc to feel like a king among 150cc plebs.

>>
>>28726113
but until recently indians have been a minority. now they're everywhere you look.

>>28726119
good question. maybe the complexity of the automatic transmission and access to serviceable parts is more complicated on a scooter so more time/labour is required.

maxi scooters are like the lamborghini of motorcycles so it makes sense that they're more expensive

Vital non-boring ramp update. The bike is due back from the shop tomorrow with its new tires, brake lever, generator, repared front axle and speedo. So have gone all out and finished the last ramp bits and any day now will be able to spend all day riding in and out of my house.

Last bit was sliding 2x4 pieces under where the cross beams go then running long screws through all three pieces of wood. [cont...]

...Also painted the underside. Had masses of paint left over from the decking paint+beach sand ramp surface so might as well use it. No fucks given about using OSB. Doesn't get wet and well supported underneath. Designed to fit snuggly in my (dry) trailer.

I have promised my son he can ride it in 2027 so there is basically 1 year for me to get good, do 'A' test then buy something bigger and louder. Need to practice every day unlike self-limiters who can afford to wait until spring.

I need to get to a point where this is all a natural to me as the pedal bike. It isn't yet. I am conscious that my road awareness is much worse, I think due to wearing a helmet and having mirrors instead of looking around me and hearing the shape of what is behind. Maybe less practical when routinely over 20mph.

Thank you for reading my blog. More adventures to come hopefully not of the wooden variety as that is Complete.

When you ride a motorcycle, in comparison to a bicycle, you worry more about what is in front of you than what is behind you because you're always moving forward and away from traffic.

The ramp looks good.

For getting the bike up my three front steps. Last time I tried with a shit aluminium ramp it slipped, I bottomed the bike and snapped the brake lever. There is a corner at the top so it really needs the full width of the door to manouver. Also needs to rest on each step underneath to not to slide about.

It is built but not yet used in anger. Soon.

>When you ride a motorcycle, in comparison to a bicycle, you worry more about what is in front of you than what is behind you because you're always moving forward and away from traffic.
Hmm. That's true. It was at roundabouts particularly with things coming from all angles. That was when I thought I was really putting myself in danger. I should do a tour of the Selby Bypass. That is roundabouts the whole way and really get good at it.

On a bicycle I know my limits via the speed dynamics of slightly uphill (slow) or slightly downhill (fast) but I don't have the same instictive feel for it motocycling.

Tried to start my HAWG this morning but it wouldn't turn over. Kept pressing the button over and over until it started clicking and my lights faded.

I think it only got down to like 27 degrees, I thought battery was supposed to be fine as long as it's not freezing. Should I just get a new battery? Or should I get a charger for it and go at it again?

also i've not been looking that much but it seems weird to me just how few dirt road routes there are. i know there are loads of fire roads and stuff but i wish there was a resource for all of this stuff. a lot of the stuff locally i've had to hunt and find myself.

>bel-ray v-twin motor oil 1lt 2
>L70-03 oil scrn/pmp o-rng

It also says "bike would only run on choke" but it basically only starts on choke. And what does on choke even mean? With choke pulled out? With choke pulled in? How do these people repair vehicles without basic English? Maybe saying it a certain way is standard practice but it's all new to me. Am I going to have to buy a charger or would an autopart store or midas have one that I could use?

For those that have used up Bakuon!!! there is Watching. Unusual 1980s romantic comedy about motorcycles and bird watching. It isn't as single-minded as Bakuon!!! but it's nice. There is no race mixing or lesbianism. Nothing nasty. And probably 50% is on motorbikes, usually the hero's pre-war AJS.

There is loads of it on Youtube. This is episode 1.

>>28726310
'on choke' is a common way of saying 'choke pulled out'. Choke isn't always a lever you pull in or push out on other bikes.

Also get a battery tender for next time. Battery tenders don't just keep your battery at the right voltage but keep it warmed up so cold doesn't affect it. Then think about getting a lithium ion battery when you got the cash

I only asked about the oil because a lot of vtwin oils are 20w-50 and that viscosity really doesn't like going lower than 0c/32f

Minus:
Petcock riveted together so it's a replace rather than a rebuild part. The one you are looking at probably already has a replacement.

He claims he's never had a problem with it because it's a hondr and all of its components are bulletproof, his only problem has been minor wear parts like the brake disc which, like most things, he gets from one of three parts houses for hondas. Most of everything else is still manufactured for it because it shares parts with other models.

I always wanted a nineT and finally pulled the trigger a month ago, its a 2019 pure with 7k miles, full service history at dealer, it felt weird at first but I got used to it, its a wonderful machine, I was wondering if you could give me some advice

>wheels/tires
this one has spoke wheels with a tube, all my previous bikes have been tubeless and running a tube kind of gives me anxiety, would you recommend converting it with outex or something like that? also it still has its original tires from 2019, which means tires are at least 6 years old, should it be a priority to change them?

>protection
I knew what I was getting into when I got a boxer bike, I know there is no protection that would save the bike at higher speeds, but I was thinking about tipovers, I saw there are some nice looking "protectors" that go over the cylinder heads and "engine bars" that seem to be better at protecting look like shit

>services
should I invest in stuff/tools to do my own services (including the GS-911 tool) or should I just go leave the bike at the dealer once a year? (services are not that expensive in the third world)

I think you should buy it before someone else does and arrange to pick it up from the seller's home. Then you can politely remind them that you know where they live and will be back if you find any major faults with the bike. Make sure you do this while looking directly into their eyes with the piercing glare of a serial killer to drive the point home. Enjoy your new bike!

I was getting hammered by wind almost got a tank slapper, out a couple of notches on the rear preload and it got more stable. How? :3c

>>28726561
Bikes are made to be turned over, if the engine turns over and you don't hear or feel resistance from the engine, then you can do it again
>>
>>28726119
The X-ADV literally is a big motorcycle. Having a worse transmission and smaller tyres doesn't make it any cheaper.
If you want an automatic (bad opinion), do you have access to the TMAX 500 or Burgman 400/650?
>>
>>28726577
Why is automatic a bad idea?
>>
>>28726532
Post closer picture of tires, see if it has micro cracks. I'd do the tubeless conversion for the peace of mind.
Do get engine protectors, wunderlich?
Service part I can't answer, I've been thinking about it myself.
>>
>>28726576
Can you define resistance as it relates to this? Any friction is resistance and there's always friction when things move.

You don't understand the joy of twist&go. It's not about outright power and speed. It's about riding in traffic and being able to focus on navigating that traffic without fumbling around with gears and clutches. It's 2025 and we have the technology to change gears automatically so why wouldn't you utilize that technology. If you're afraid of modern tech then why are you using the internet?

I know you're a new rider from your earlier posts about this exact same topic.
Bikes have absolutely phenomenal transmissions. A sequential "dog box" manual is standard on everything down to a cheap 125cc, but on cars they're reserved for super high-end race cars. Cagies genuinely don't know how good we have it.

But that said, the main reason why they're better than CVTs and DCTs is because they're way easier to control at low speeds. But you can sort of teach yourself workarounds with the rear brake. They're a bit worse in corners too, but it's not so bad. They take off real fucking fast at lights though, scooties on 125s can pretty much keep up with me on my 500s.

>fumbling around
Shifting becomes second nature after like, 6 months. If you drive a manual car it's already second nature. I don't know why people get filtered by gear selection like to pretend you have to solve a captcha every time you want to change gears. Dog boxes are DUMMY simple

What's easier to control? The bike? Because an automatic transmission controls itself. That's kinda the point.

For me it was 6 hours. You must be a slow learner.

Every car I've ever owned has been manual but cars can't, and don't, navigate traffic the way a bike does.

hey, that's nice and all but this it a bike thread.
>>
>>28726618
i’m nta but i use the clutch to navigate with less power at low speed and also when i want to change gears at almost any speed except when i’m gearing up at high rev and also any time i want to stop really like stop lights and parking lots and also when i just want to make the bike very loud without going fast then i pull the clutch in and then use the throttle to get the revs up even though the engine’s not even really connected to the wheels. I also usually pull the clutch in when i start the bike but i don’t need to it’s just muscle memory
What about you
>>
>>28726626
>What about you
My bike doesn't have a clutch lever. Instead the left hand lever activates the rear brake. Identical to a bicycle.

>left hand = rear brake
>right hand = front brake

Unlike you manual bike:
>left hand = clutch
>right hand = front brake
>right foot = rear brake
>left foot = gear change

My bike is less complicated to ride so leaves me free to give the traffic my full attention.
>>
>>28726626
It would be extremely womanly to be unable to do two things at once without dividing your attention unduely. I can only assume that the "I can focus on navigation with an automatic" poster is just an honest to god femanon
>>
>>28726633
You should really get a dual brake aetup so the front AND rear are controlled by one lever, just like a car. Now you will never be caught offguard by a soccer mom making a right from the left lane
>>
>>28726638
But then I wouldn't be able to tail-slide around corners or when parking.
>>
>>28726640
That's what the throttle is for
>>
>>28726633
if you were saying this irl i wouldnt be able to hear you because i’d be revving my engine and then cutting the throttle really quick and making the exhaust bang rly loud but since idk you irl i’m just not going to read any of what you wrote even though you read mine. can you imagine what that would sound like? POP!

i was a retard and when i was taught by dad and grandpa, they told me to let go of the clutch while pushing the throttle 1:1 and i would keep killing the engine over and over again
it was only when i looked up how a manual worked did i stop killing the engine
>>
>>28726664
It's not exclusive to snow. Clutch control is important for anything that isn't well paved tarmac, and important for slow speeds on well paved tarmac. If you knew how to ride a real bike, you would know this
>>
>>28726664
Okay then, sand, dirt, water, fatbitchontheback, clibbins, gymkhana, lots of reasons
>>
>>28726671
My real bike manages its own clutch and has a thing called traction control in case of wheel slip.

Welcome to the 20th century, Pops.
>>
>>28726675
It's the 21st century. You ride a scooter not a bike. You'd kill yourself on a real bike because using more than two levers at once is simply beyond the scope of your thirdy intellect, and managing traction is completely unknown to you
>>
>>28726679
I don't need to manage traction because my bike has the technology to do that for me. It even changes the gears for me too. All I have to do is twist and go. Simple.

The simple things in life are often the best.

You can keep it. "Good luck" is our only riding mode and lizard brain is our ABS. If we run out the tape we either rewind or flip it over.

Autos are great, I've been told, but mannies are a real treat. You really feel connected to your machine.
>>
>>28726682
Spmetimes but not always. In this case the simple things are just because you lack the agency to do them yourself. You can't say "I don't have to..." unless you are actually capable of doing it.
