Luv me Izh. Been trying to talk my old man over to getting himself a motorcycle license so I'll have an excuse to tear apart the Jupiter 3 I have in my shop and register it. so I can give it to him, othersise he'll probably just spend his retirement money on either a V6 mustang or some dumb shit mercedes/BMW
>>28815489Mustang is cooler than Izh. If I were a boome I'd buy me a Miata or some other old shitbox that was new when I was young and couldn't afford it at the time

>>28815506Miss my RS, such a good bike. Liked it more than any jap bike I've had.
>>28815409>>28815419"everyone who hates me is 1 person"at this point the jannies are keeping him around because he increases "traffic" on the board by making 8 threads and posting in all of them constantly just add chameleon, melon, tranny, shapeshifter and force to your filter list and all his posts disappear
>>28815511Yeah man, i had one too.Fuggen unusual bike as far as soprty tourers go.It was sportier than other similar bikes i have had, and the 955 motor was a fucken gem.Had several other triumphs too
>>28815515Yea, I'm very much against all kinds of electron9ic bullshit, but the 3 pot was sublime, plus it handles like a 125cc sports bike, it was very nimble and didn't have that heft my CBR or GSXR had.I actually bought the bike on a whim as I went to the city over to the motorbike dealership to ask for some gaskets and oil seals for my CBR1000F, which they didn't have on hand and had to order. Because it was weekend, it would be till the middle of the next week when they got the parts and I didn't feel like sitting about idly, walked about the store for a bit checking the bikes out and then that yellow thing in the corner struck my eye. Paid 4 grand cash on the spot for it and rode it home. 2 buck oil seal became a 4 grand bike purchase, but it was all worth it.
>>28815519Dangerously based.I mist admit, i would have an RS again in a heartbeat. Interestingly it seems to be a forgotten bike.
>>28815524Same man, same. I grew out of crotch rockets, but an RS is something I've been keeping an eye for in the local listings. Specifically another yellow one.
>>28815526The spped triples were good too, and i have a z1000 now, which rides like a speed triple, but i do miss that engine.
>>28815513One anon from another thread recommended we move to bant for a bit. Easier to filter him out and might get the jannies to work since traffic would decrease suddenly.
Just sliding through to say burn in hell chamelion tranner. Motherfucker posted the same thread for a year straight at all times of the day. >MOTORCYCLE WHISKEY PAIRING ADVICE!!!!>hecking ATGATT!!!!
>>28815513>DONT FREAKING SAY MELON!!!
>>28815542probably wouldnt work unless they were mod-made threads and manually moved to /bant/, which is beyond faggotedhe'd stay here on his own, spamming the thread with more stock images and replying to himselfthen the uninformed would continue to post and keep the threads "alive" (on one of the slower boards, where even a thread at bump limit stays on for over a week)the jannies have all the info they need to know exactly who's doing it, they just refuse to actlast week they removed 5-6 of his threads in a day

>>28815363>wanna get new bike>insurance would more than double
>>28815644Which bike, and whats the insurance? Maybe you can fuck around with it a bit to get it down
>>28815645int 650 and it is already the cheapest insurance I can one can get in my country from what I can tell. I live in a risky city so it is not that surprising. I want to get ghsx8-tt someday but I would ahve to move from here first.
>>28815647Ahh shit man... Maybe reduce the miles per year?You can always fuck with that later
am i gonna regret buying this?it's a good deal and i want a summer jacket and high vis is smart but now i'm thinking it's kinda gay to be fluorescent.
>>28815651theres no such thing as milage here. they insure by how risky your bike is to be stolen and how much it would cost to fix it.
>>28815661To be honest, its too distinctive. Just get a plain black jacket.This way if you do something sketchy on a bike your description is generic.Be the gray man.
>>28815665Ehh that sux.What about the usual tracker, chains, ground anchor, disc lock, alarm shit?Will that get it down?Also advanced riding courses maybe?
>>28815688none of that amtters are here kek
>>28815689Damn... Tough deal
Well, we are looking at, for us, a castrphic ice storm, and the last time this happened, all of the energy production in my state shut down because they decided -10F operating temps weren't going to happen. Assuming the power goes out again, my plan is to heat my kitchen by running my bikes motor for 3-5 mins, kill it, and then wheel the bike inside to let the exhaust radiate heat outward. How many degrees do you think I can get out of this method?In order to stay sane after dark, I guess I will just draw my bike by candlelight, like one of my French girls.
>>28815724Dont do thisA bike is not a space heaterAnd youll get harldy any because there is no thermal battery asides from the engine block, so whatever gains you get will be just as quickly lostGo chop some firewood and make a fireplace do its job
>>28815689Which city by the way? Sounds like my kinda town....
>>28815769São Paulo, Brazil
>>28815724go to home depot and buy a propane heater and a carbon monoxide alarm.
>>28815724You could just make a fire outside, put hot coals into a double set of pans and keep your bed warm like in ye olden days by stuffinf it under the bedding within the pansObviously layrr it up a bitOr just man up -10f is -12c, thats cozy if you just layer and use a sleeping bagYoull manage without this excess of rolling a bike in after a quick stsrt like this
Why don't I see sports bikes nowadays? I don't think it's because people are too poor cause if this was the case, Harleys would disappear too. Maybe they got so fast humans can't see them or all of their owners died in crashes.
>>28815787They're IQ filters They're either too chicken shit afraid because tiktok told them they're dangerous or they fucked up massively and got killed by their own shortcomings.Also the dudes who used to ride em lots are too old now and the new wave of youth aren't interested in real life in general so they don't even bother getting into motorcycles at most they get into mopeds because theyre cute toys. The Olds go to crusiers, or nakeds, or ADVs now, even a sport tourer is a rare choice for them because they physically just can't deal with it.There are exceptions and plenty of riders who exclusively ride sport bikes for a long time but those guys go to areas where others aren't just so they can truly open up the bike or practice maneuvers in isolation as a way to load the dice in their favor. Distant mountain roads, or empty straightaways, scenic routes with minimal people, places like that.
>>28815775Damn... Just do jiu jitsu on bike robbers man...>No u have to fight me on the floor lol
>>28815787>>28815787Motorcyclists are getting older on average now and sport bikes are generally bought by younger buyers. There's also more nekkid bike and sport tourer options these days. Unless you're racing on a track, a naked bike does everything a sport bike does with way better ergonomics and handling. Power delivery is usually tuned to be better for street use as well and insurance companies don't fuck you as hard with them compared to sport bikes. Sport tourers also get that same feel while being much kinder on your body over long-distance rides.This isn't even acknowledging the Dual Sport/ADV pill that many are taking.

>>28815451This thing hasnt been outside in years my nigga, how is this fooling anybody
>>28815787bikers aging out and biking is becoming prohibitively expensive for young people (in comparison to cars)in the UK, a full A licence (once youre 24) costs you like 2x what a car licence is - its even more if you go up through the stages and have to re-do the mod 1+2 at each stage add on top of that, insurance for your first year on a sports bike (even a 400-600) is going to be in excess of 1k, its just unaffordable for a lot of people in a lot of different waysthe people WITH the expendable income and spare time to do lessons and get their licence are then either too old to care, or have too much as stake in life (job, wife, kids), to want to risk it on a sports bike, so end up on advbikes, since the speed limit is still 60-70 and you can go more places with an advbike compared to sports/supersportalso a lot of people just got wiser to safety, and instead of racing on street, will just pay the fee to go on track for a day, and trailer their bike to itas for harleys, their owners are much older, and soon you'll stop seeing them as they get too old to ride and the brand dies out (but dont worry, theres a new war right around the corner so the US govt can bail them out for the 34th time)the uk in particular also has a massive problem with corrupt/inept councils being unable or unwilling to fix gigantic potholes in the road which pose a genuine risk to cars, let alone bikes, so lots of people dont bother riding because of the apathy towards all road users from our own local govts
>>28815863>Italy has entered the chat
>>28815892>wiser to safetyTranslation: Can't find their balls and became risk adverse due to a lack of critical thinking.>"Speeding is like farting, you need to know when it's appropriate" -James "Captain Slow" May
>>28815787sportbikes were kinda an analog to tuner culture in the 00s and now most people just pretend to do cool stuff as a flex/aura farm more than actually do cool stuff. Add to that nobody wants to work on vehicles because of the uglification and shitification of the new models. its not about money bikes are cheap and considered prole transport worldwide, anyone saying otherwise is either lives in a distorted/overregulated environment or is a super poorfag.
>>28815787I want to own a liter sportsbike before they're regulated out of existence.
>>28815931 To a point. The gentlemen's agreement has sort of seen the death of the busa/blackbird/zx14 class, and it has become a bit of a novelty, while sportbikes are now hiting the 186 mark easily. Most folks will pick a sports bike over a hyper tourer now.
>>28815842>Dual Sport/ADV pillLet's be real, it's the ADV pill. Most people rightfully choose the scrambler version of a touring motorcycle because that's what they'll get the most utility out of. There's 4 groups of people still choosing a dual sport, in descending order of size:> guys too poor to buy the ADV they really wanted> Brazilians> old men who grew up watching On Any Sunday and are too scared to buy a voltometer> guys who ride dirt aggressively enough to know that a t7 is too fucking massive and they need a dedicated dirt machine
>>28815787once they werent that cool anymore people realized how impractical they are and started buying "crossovers" or nakeds.Kids and young adults are way more into sumos these days.
>>28815964Do you guys actually see super motards in your area? I live in a metro area, and I see nothing but sport bikes and cruisers until I get an hour or so out, at which point it's all ADVs, tourers, and the occasionally Harley.
>>28815968yeah usually in groups, sometimes 125s.
>>28815968Lol i live in the countryside and its all sports bikes here
>>28815951more folks who have sports bikes dont buy them new, they steal them old and most bikes need work plus scene around them is dead thats why you dont see them unless your in the hood. between snowstorms there is usually a clapped out grey 90s gsxr750 parked and a four cylinder symphony or two in the air
>>28815986Man.. i never see clapped out ones here, albeit i am in a wealthy area. But even at bike cafes its either brand new exotic bikes, or old ones that look pristine.
>>28815987that sounds pretty nice, not enough bikes in my state to have more than a harley boomer meetup or two in the summer unfortunately. the hood is great for getting good bikes cheap though if you know how to fix them. like 2k for 100+hp and under 6k miles with title cheap.
>>28815995Where are you?
Got home from evening shift and couldn't sleep, so I pulled the transmission to check the flywheel torque of my bike. Good thing I did because the clutch pressure plate bolts weren't all that tight, gotta put some thread lock on those.
>>28815907thanks for disproving your own point within your own post, retardmeans I dont have to put any thought into the response and can instead just call you a niggeryou retarded nigger>>28815964>Kids and young adults are way more into sumos these days.theyre in to sumos because theyre cheaper and easier to work on when you eventually crash it doing something dumb
>>28816129>theyre in to sumos because theyre cheaper and easier to work onI'd disagree, over here they're into supermotos because they're better at doing wheelies and tricks with on top of being more familiar to the 50cc dirt bikes they rode as kids.

Is the 2 threads meme going to end anytime? Why did it start and why is it still going?
>>28815363I think stunt bikes are cool. I also like track bikes. I like all the neat modifications people do to their bikes to make them capable of doing the things they want them to do. I also like bikes that are stock.
>>28816446One nigger wanted a separate thread for different classes of bikes. Others didn't want this, so people mad at each other creating their own threads. Jannies fixed it once for us, they should have banned the niggers creating the threads, but instead they just gave slap on the wrist.
>>28816450I like that you can have your back brake on the left handlebar. That's pretty cool. I think it would make a lot of sense offroad. If we get honda eclutch / dct and back brake on the leftt, bikes become big scooters.

>>28816687Also, the threads are only "successful" because he starts new ones before the old ones are even at the bump limit. Someone would have to stoop to his level and earlyfag a regular thread. Or just make a regular thread, doesn't seem like the jannies care much.
>>28816735Thanks for the info man. To be honest, i usually just keep an eye out for what comes up for sale, and for how much. I have bought most of my bikes that way, and have had 20 odd bikes over the years.Something interesting always comes up and you onow its meant to be.I will put these on the "buy list."
CB650R (w/ E-clutch) or ZX4RR for my next bike. What do anons think?I live in the US, so the Kawi's wind protection will be appreciated on the highway, but I also don't like dealing with plastics when doing oil changes and such. I have never ridden a bike with e-clutch or quick shifter but my impression is that the e-clutch functions as a quick shifter but also offers clutchless riding from a stop.
>>28816699The absolute state of discord troonsGas them all>>28816799>next bikeWhat do you already have though? Or what have you riding experience with?Id get niether of those bikes unless i was forced into low cc track league then the zx4rr hard R, but thats only because im being forced
>>28816699>>and posting random D-tier anime charactersI have a wife and you don't. Stay mad.
>>28816714Fun zone!
>>28816803My first bike was a ninja 300 which I really enjoyed, now I daily a versys 650 (which is honestly too much engine for my commute which never sees the highway, and is too top heavy for my taste), that's why the zx4rr appeals to me. I am hoping it would remind my of the Ninja 300.
>>28816824>versys 650This is a great bike. Keep riding it and master it. Good progression from ninja 300 to versys 650.
>>28816808Kek, based anime fantasist.
Liter bike thread?
>>28816836I don't get why people dislike this bike. People tell its perfect to a fault and I don't get it. Why would you not want a perfect bike? I want it to take me to places in comfort and style. IDK why people dislike this bike.
>>28816840The FatBird? Because it will never be a Hayabusa.
>>28816846Ah, benchracing, got it.
>>28816846>FatBirdWhy do you gotta do it like that?
>>28816840I agree, awesome bike, it just got overshadowed by the busa and zx12 at the time, so was less desirable. You can get these for like 1000 here, for that reason
The blackbird is built better and draws far less heat on you if you keep a quiet exhaust on it. Almost nobody gels on the fact it goes 180, I knew a dude who had a blackout switch on his and would never get caught speeding because people would take 1 look at it and think its a slow tourer bike. The busa is faster yes, but negligently and you don't have the same build qualilty honda has. If you have no ego to appease to others, the bird is best. It's the gentleman's hooligan bike. For the man who's an adrenaline junky but still has to keep up posh appearances. 180 in leathers on Sunday, wear a formal suit on Monday type of dude.ZX bikes are fast af too but like the busa they are visually very loud bikes (design wise), they pull too many eyes on you which is why the bird is unique. It's a perfect sleeper machine. It "flies under the radar" very fitting to be named after the SR71
>>28816875I would love to find 1 of the 50, 50th anniversary 1200xx black birds. However they're pretty much unobtainium.
>>28816799why not a 636 or a non-meme clutch hoonder like a 500r or 650r
>>28816878Yeah these are absolutely sick. They never made one but imagine if they did the same to an X11 to make the first modern Jap Supernaked.

am i right to be skittish about driving over freshly laid road salt? i'm in south texas so i don't usually encounter it but today on the way home most of my highway commute had salt (or whatever they use) and intuitively it seems like i should be careful as it would be like riding on sand and the bike could slip out in curves. it was otherwise sunny and 70 degrees and i made it home without incident by leaning as little as possible but not sure how actually sketchy it can be
>>28816878Fark man thats sweet
>>28817062Уou should be skittish about driving over road salt because that shit will literally corrode through anything it touches. Aluminium and plastic isn't safe, it will eat through anything

Do I need to get an SUV or a truck or something if I want to start doing track days? I just have a Japanese economy car, and every loves to say most cars can tow at least a thousand pounds, but I really don't want to push it.
>>28817177Last track day I went to I just rode my bike there.
>>28817177See if you can get a class 3 trailer hitch for your car, then get one of these unless you have a pig-fat 'busa or something.
>>28817062yes, anything that reduces your tyres contact with the road can cause you harm, so you should be cautious when riding on it>>28817177a lot of tracks will let you ride in, no problems the risk comes at the end of the day, if youre overly tired riding home most people dont realise how exhausting a track day can actually be
>>28817177Van if you're gonna go bigger than an economy car there's a whole plethora of van options. you can sleep in them, shelf them for tools or go wild with anything.
>>28816638>blocks your path
>>28816703>mmmm I lust for 2nd gen Tuono so badsame>>28816709everything I've read about that v twin rotax engine has said it's reliable.
>>28816990:O
>putting my s1000rr back together>the retarded fuel distributor nipple snapped just from the hose gently leaning backI'm so upset. Do you know of a quick fix for this? I really wanted this bike back running tomorrow and anything I buy will take 5+ days
My scooter takes over 1 ltr of oil so I'm posting in this thread. Also, fuck the police.
>>28817505If you get the part number, the parts counter at a BMW dealer might have it in stock.
>>28817513Unfortunately they only sell it with the whole setup, and not cheap. I can call tomorrow and see if they can just sell me the bottom piece but I highly doubt they will, and I don't want to spend $300
>>28817516From what I've read online about parts counters, is that prices are all over the place. It might be worth that call.
>>28817525I ordered the cheap ebay one but I'll give bmw a call tomorrow. As long as it's not $100+. I'd go pick it up there

>>28817687But they are so cheap.....
>>28817702because they all fall apart within a yearDont be a retard
>>28817702All thst you save as result of being a cheapskate bites you in the ass for reliability and replacement maintenanceYou get what you pay for, go jdm or if youre poor dont bother til you can get a used bike ffs
>>28817720>You get what you pay forYou say that, but Kove charges JP prices for their rally bikes, and according to /dbt/ they are just as shitty as mystery meat CN bikes half their price. So it's not really about pricing, is it? If /dbt/ is to be believed, CN cannot and will never build a good motorcycle. They'd even tell you to buy RE over any Chink bike.
>>28817741>CN cannot and will never build a good motorcycleCorrect
What is the mechanical reputation of mid-80s BMWs
>>28817743Yeah, well I'm old enough to remember when people said the same thing about Jap Crap. And meanwhile, I got a 'zuk out back.
>>28817745Depends on the model, but the old K bricks are deemed completely indestructible, like we're talking nuclear levels of unkillable that would make even the strongest jap bike fold.Airheads are fairly sturdy, they have an one piece hollow crankshaft that might crack under heavier loads, but otherwise they're fairly robust engines with little to go wrong.
>>28817686chink bikes go out of print quicker than they come in if you buy anything other than a brand new bike, and you have any mechanical problem, you'll be waiting like 6 months for a replacement partand even buying a brand new bike, you get about a year of use out of it before the start a new line with new tooling and stop producing spares for your modeladd on top of that no native dealerships or support in almost every country, youre SoL when the inevitable engine grenading happens >>28817702 if youre strapped for cash, or poor, get an older honda>>28817741chinks will sell you shit for dirt prices, because its useless, then the second they realise westoids are dumb enough to pay more for it, they'll up their prices and put a tiny bit of polish on the surface level of the product, but its still the same chinkshit garbage underneath 28817746youre a 19 year old "canadian" indianyou dont remember shit you skinwalker faggot
>>28817591Harbor Freight trailers used to be <$500 new but tariff bs means it's $1k now.
>>28817822EXCEPT for the oil seals between the engine and trans. To replace you start at the back of the bike and disassemble going forward until you get to the engine.The upside of this is hipsters will practically give away bikes with a drip. The mid-80's twins are good. BMW's problems came later.

Cruiserbros I need your opinions.What year and model Harley Davidson would you hold as the best example of the brand? Preferably something reasonably common on the used market. The cruiserpill calls to me.

>>28818312If you want an air cooled evo I think 2003 is the best year because it’s right before the rubber mount frame I was never a dyna guy so nothing to say about those, I was happy to see the dyna go. I never rode any of the touring bikes either, but what applies to the soft tails applies to these. As for the soft tails I think the m8 engine is worth the money. So in my opinion 2017 and newer are the best Harley have ever been. Actually I think the current lineup is the best pretty much across the board. A little tuning on the 975 rev max gets you over a hundred ponies. The m8 engine is fantastic in all its iterations. The new tech packages as far as rider aids are really good, if that’s what you’re into.Of course if you want an air cooled evo, like I said, 2003. They’re long in the tooth though. 96-03 if you want a bigger range, I believe they got 5 speeds in 96, but you may want to fact check I am not a fan of the new captcha, so many clicks
>>28818375I've never run anything that did more than 20 miles per imperial gallon this decade. That includes Euro turbo fours.

>>28818205you can pretty reliably find track boots used on facebook marketplace for around $100 and the people who buy that shit don't actually ride so they're always in pristine condition
>>28818438What's the word on Fat Boys? I see 99-2007 years pretty frequently around here for decent prices. Other than being the Terminator 2 bike for pretending to be Ahnuld, how are they to actually ride?
>>28818312I've been looking at Dynas, FXRs, and Road Kings. Of these, the FXR will be the least common, but it's often referred to as the best handling harley. The Dynas have a huge aftermarket especially for stunting. Everything I've read about the Road Kings has been people praising it for how great it is at crushing miles. It depends on what kind of riding you want to do.I do NOT own a Harley. yet.>>28818438this guy has gone crazy in depth on the evo sportster years for his project.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOFbz8dV8vYThis dude makes me want to get a nightster.

>>28818698i don't care about a scooter thread. if you think the board needs another motorcycle adjacent thread, go for it. i think it's retarded that there's a thread for motorcycles under 1000CC and a thread for motorcycles above it. a lot of the time people are discussing shit that would fit in either thread so it just serves to divide the community. if i want to ask about motorcycle gear, or talk about a cool place i went to ride, which thread should i put that in? are scooters really so different that it necessitates another thread? i really don't think so and i like seeing scooter shit, dirt bike shit, pocket bike shit, big huge goldwing shit all in the same thread because it's interesting. the community is small and the board moves slowly. having one thread that gets remade every couple days is a lot more enjoyable, to me, than three threads that get remade once a week.but making a thread is free. and if you think there's value in segmenting off your niche and disengaging from what is effectively a "two wheeled vehicle general", then do it.

The new sportster is perhaps the worst motorcycle I’ve ever riddenIf I were in the market for a cruiser,I’d get a used nightster. I never owned one personally, but I do currently own a rev max 1250 engine, and I’m familiar with the tech package, and it’s just a fantastic ride. I’ve ridden the nightster quite a lot for a bike I don’t own, i always try to get on it at the local dealer when they have bike nights with test rides. >>28818566Kys gay nigger, autos should be illegal
>>28818447I'm looking for something around 50-40 mpg, so far only 300cc bikes and lower meet that
>>28818863They may not be your type of bike, but the 650 single cylinders live in your range. 42mpg if you're wringing it's neck, 48 if you're keeping it chill.
I used to want a literbike but now I think it makes no sense.Nearest track suitable for it is 100 km away. Also you can go to jail for going faster than 210 kmph on a highway. Meanwhile offroad tracks are everywhere so a dirt bike or a dual sport seems more reasonable.
>western europe>slooooowly getting warmer>sunny afternoon, -2°C outside>havent been riding my boike in almost 4 weeksI dont know how much longer I can deal with this. Buying this bike is the best thing I did in the last 6 months. It's been so liberating and fun to just let her rip on the highway or take the scenic routes and just cruise along on country roads at sunset.Now I drive to work in my shitty old car, which is no fun at all, and when I come home from work I just do my boring old routines, gym, eating, binge reading and playing arc raiders. It's like having maybe 3 hobbies for your entire life, then suddenly you have 4 and after a few months you have to pause your new hobby because fuck it's cold outside and you're back to your old slog.

>>28818865Examples?
>>28818942dr650, xr650. The KLR has fuel injection, and is probably ~5mpg better on average than the other two.
>>28818950Damn I can't find them here in the EU.
>>28818986Ah, sorry. I thought the KLR getting EFI meant it would be okay for the EU, but probably only eu4, not eu5 regs. That bullshit is why the vatom 800, an otherwise stellar bike, gives off a stupid amount of heat off the engine and cat.
>>28819011My plan is to stop using public transport and commuting by bike instead.Each month I pay 40€ for an unlimited pass for all trains and buses, I'm looking for a bike that I could fill up for that amount of money and travel everyday to work and back.Something around 3.5L/100km (around 70mpg) has a range of 500km so it's enough for the entire month, all of this for 30€ so the extra cash goes for savings to pay for insurance/parts/tires etc.
>>28819070Just get some scooter or such if you're so strapped for cash. A bicycle saves even more money.
>>28819070At the risk of being a ninny remember that you will no longer have all the safety features that bus came with. Include in your budget helmet (fasten the blooody thing) gloves and boots as a bare minimum buy. A decent jacket and heavy jeans should be next on the list. I think I paid about a third of the price of my first bike on gear.Be safe because you only get one go at this.Have fun.

>>28819201>I'd do it, buti'd do it too but i've never done it before and wanted to save myself for marriage
I don't know what I want anymore. I was originally looking at a 4-650 CBR or the like, and now it's looking like I might actually have money for a new toy soon but I'm a 30 Year old Boomer and the idea of spreading myself over the pavement at 150 MPH is less appealing by the day. I still want that bike freedom though. I think what I'm really after is not being (too) bent over the bike, the ability to lane split and maybe have a few paniers for groceries or whatever without riding something pigfat like a Harley or Goldwing. Off-roading isn't on the menu. I'm not even sure which category of motorcycle I should be looking at, any advice?
>>28819206>what I'm really after is not being (too) bent over the bike, the ability to lane split and maybe have a few paniers for groceries or whateverMAXI SCOOTER has all the storage space you need for groceries with a comfy upright seating position and has superior lane filtering qualities.

>>28819206What you want, it sounds like, is a bike that's nice to ride around. Congrats bro! Most idiots need a decade of riding before coming to that realization.So what you want is literally any naked with a milk crate on the back.
