I am probably gonna get my first motorcycle soon. I have narrowed it down to a Yamaha R3, Ninja 500, or Triumph Scrambler 400X. Thought about a Ninja 650 or R7 or maybe a ZX4RR but I figure I will drop it at least once so I'd rather do that on a cheaper bike while learning.Probably gonna just get one new, I can afford it.Any advice on which one you would pick? I mostly am interested in street riding, maybe a decent bit of highway stuff and possibly some cross state roadtrips.
I had a crash last January when commuting to work (literally as I was turning into the parking lot). Ever since, I've been afraid to lean. I'm a newfag at bikes, how do I get better? I can still do my commute, which is the main reason I have a bike, but I'd like to do longer rides.
>>28853337nice, have you watched totw2, bakuon and supercub? thoughts?
>>28853337Depending where you are r3 are everywhere used but a majority are missing lights, ninja 500s are theft prone. Figure out insurance rates on sport bikes first, it might end up pushing you to the triumph for a few years till premiums dip. Premiums on new rider sport bikes are 60 a month and up with only actual cash value coverage instead of full. I have to have a separate theft insurance to keep prices down.
>>28853339did you figure out what you did wrong?
How come scooters never wave back? They always give me the nastiest looks. Harley riders wave back more often than the scooter guys tobequitefrank.
>>28853369It happened too quick, I've been running it back in my head, best I can think is rolling on while already leaned over.There was a bit of frost on the ground that day, but not enough make me slide.
>>28853373i dont waive to anyone with more than 125cc. you are all spoiled rotten with power.
>>28853339I know the feeling but the want and feeling to lean more came back. I just go through sharp city corners slower now.You were wearing gear right?>>28853374How fast did you go and did you lean away from the bike or into it. You should be counter leaning in parking lot speeds.
>>28853379I waive at anyone wearing motorcycle pants.
Pitbikes
>>28853374dont forget you have no grip in the cold, not because of ice but because tires dont grip well in the cold by default.
>>28853373because waving is gay. real men just nod their head.
>>28853365I have not seen any of those but I will add them to the list>>28853367Yeah, I like the idea of cheaper premiums on a smaller bike to at least figure out if I will even enjoy riding a motorcycle. I am leaning R3 right now purely based off looks.
>>28853373I would wave back but nobody waves at me when I'm on my scooter.and I'm not gonna instigate a wave, that harley boomer probably doesn't think I'm the nicest people just cuz I'm on my honda
What to expect from an ‘04 600cc silverwing? Can I do anything with it outside of more storage add ons?
>>28853337Get the triumph or a naked bike. It will actually teach you how to ride and later you can specialised into what you want.
>>28853390True, I'll keep that in mind. I do like the summer a lot more, I can tell the tires stick to the road a lot more. >>28853380Yep, I wear a padded jacket and padded jeans. >How fast did you go and did you lean away from the bike or into itAbout ~15-20mph, probably on the higher end desu. I leaned in, for sure.
>>28853302>im syill poaying in a 300+ reply fred like there are people comi gWhy do i do this
>>28853337>r7Might as well get the mt07 or tenny on the cheapIt the nobody has adv bike melon picrel
>>28853373They're too scared to take their hand off the grip.
>>28853373>How come scooters never wave back?They're usually foreigners from shithole countries that don't have manners.
Scooter bros are a strange breed tbqh, as other anons have said they NEVER wave back, you just get that look of fear and confusion every time "w-w-hy is h-he waving at mee??" Being a 125cc sissy i know my place, 600cc+ riders fucking HATE little bike enjoyers waving at them kek >>28853379Fucking based and 125 pilled
>>28853419R3/mt03 are good just keep in mind you absolutely can just repair one of the many that broke the turn signal housing.>>28853476Yeah, you probably did the same thing I did when I low sided my rebel. Thats counter steer speeds still and you should be going slower if you needed to lean that hard in that kinda space. The only bike I have been able to lean in and figure 8 below 20mph was a grom(passed msf like that).
>>28853383I wanted one on the back of my DIY tacoma camper to dick around on. Coulda had some good explores.
>>28853323>>28853319the added weight would also improve stability and gripYeah, the industry is definitely in conspiracy. This is way to beneficial-yet-straightforward to not be a thing, especially in a world of relatively easy construction (there are such things as diesel supercars and petrol trucks...) with obscure companies everywhere.
>>28853319i wonder if kogummers would have the strength to kick over a diesel cub
Just bought an 03 883r. What am I in for?
>>28853857pretty neat, i like the parallel pipes. do you watch anime?
>>28853857>what am i in forWell you better have plans to bore it out to a 1250, as is the best sportater variation build techniqueAnd also make it a dirtster, the next level in ALL AMERICAN VTWIN HERITAGEas proclaimed by KAPLAN AMERICA Will you take it on an adventure coast to coast will the new vegas strip and endless tendies jackpot as a reward?Only a true 883 owner will do that, and then take photos with the chyneae rebel man guy, both of you will larp inna desert like some kinda wastelanders
>>28853865Sorry hes a korean finngolian chynese racial hybrid super asianYou can tell cause his kicks swgger like mick jaeger, something something, autism
>>28852857>Pay for my valve jobHey that’s my line!>>28853337If you wanna do long roadtrips get an SV650, perfect bike.You should get a used dualsport to learn on, really streamlines the whole learning process imo and dogshit cheap for insurance. They also love being dropped and crashing, rode one at a track day a few weeks ago. Lowsided and high sided it, both times I picked it right back up and it fired up and jetted off.Horrible for highway tho lol
>>28853808Probably not anymore. She got hit by a car in the manga and needs reconstructive surgrry on her right leg to even walk again.

>>28853885>Grumpy art chicks, but into bikesThat shit would have demolished me back in school.
>>28853754Haha that's why I got it. Perfect travel size.
>>28853337The Ninja 650 isn't expensive to repair, just buy sliders in case you drop it. It has enough power for a beginner and it's surprisingly good for light touring.
>over 10 years agoid really like to ride her again one last tiem...

>>28854076>What 'appointment' does someone have on weekends?Granny works on weekends giving Thai massages to brown people.
Never thought I'd comsider buying a jeet bike, but that Himalayan 450 been on my mind. Seems like a great light ADV bike, handles drops very well, and reasonably priced. I like the Ibex/MT 450 too, but I'm more worried about the long-term reliability with those ones. The bad thing about not buying Japanese is the depreciation hit is going to be brutal in any case, whereas I can buy a Honda and not lose much if I decide to sell it later.Damn, I wish I wasn't a poorfag and didn't have to think so hard about a few thousand dollars.
>>28854108>depreciation hitMotorcycles are not investments and your garage isn't a portfolio. Get that brainrot out of your head and just enjoy being alive you fucking dork.

>>28854076Today a doctors visit in the morning, then was hair and nails, then I bought her groceries for the week, then I brought her to see my aunt where’s she’s staying over a few days. Everything that has to get done in her life gets done on the weekend because her oldest daughter (same aunt) still works, so she can’t be driven to appointments and such during the week.And she is NOT sexy >>28854197Many years ago I crashed during the msf test They said I could come back and try again the next day but I was so embarrassed I never went back and rode dirty for almost ten years. I didn’t get my license until this year.
>>28854200Nothing bad luckily, my rear wheel started sliding all over the place but I didn't drop in the end. Gave me one hell of a scare though>>28854208Afraid the driving school's Z650 doesn't have that chief>>28854251Damn, well at least you got it in the end.posting unrelated Yamaha I saw today at an expo I went to after

>>28854096>N-not even us 150cc guys?It's a pretty hard cutoff but this looks like a 125 so I'd waive. 150-250cc guys are okay it's just they tend to have a bit of an unfounded ego.

>>28854198I didn't know that because I haven't really looked into it. Just saw that pic and assumed. Probably for the best though because the UK is basically Little Pakistan and it rains every day. The more I think about it I'd hate to be a motorcyclist in the UK. >>28854267I can see why you're such a cunt. I'd probably be a cunt too if I was you and had to put up with your shitty weather and brown population.
>>28854251If your grandmother is that old and requires that amount of assistance then she should be in a nursing home where those things would be taken care of during the week. Sux that you weren't able to enjoy the weather on your bike but at least you got to spend some quality time with your sexy granny.
>>28853337I think the scrambler is really cool, it was one of the 'kus i was looking at when i was searching for a new one myself.I think you should sit on all of them and see which one feels more comfortable if you plan on have big trips on them but if you really prefer one over the other don't let that stop you! i did a 10h highway trip on my first bike, a 350cc air cooled sumo and while it was a miserable experience it wasn't because of the bike itself.>>28853302The anime anons?

I never learned how to ride a motorcycle until last night and today. I bought a hyosung GTR 250 year 2013 with my dad and he taught me how to ride. Dunno if I am screwing myself over by learning how to pilot on a sports bike but Im having fun like there’s no tomorrow.
I am jealous of big fucking boomer bikes and their cupholders. It sucks having to stop and sit until I finish whatever drink I buy.

Boys and gentlemen. For your viewing displeasure. The ugliest bike I've ever seen.
>>28854596Amazing.
>>28854287>Probably for the best though because the UK is basically Little Pakistan and it rains every day.I spent a summer in the UK for school and I don't think it rained more than a couple of times. They were in the middle of a "heat wave" that was perfectly pleasant to me. I would have loved to have been able to rent a motorcycle when I was there. I'd have seen the entire country on the weekends. I was broke as shit the whole time, didn't have enough to rent a bicycle.
Can't decide between a used F800GS or an Africa Twin.I'm still attempting to sell my dad's V-Rod to buy one of them. My brother originally wanted to sell it to fund his boat, but he said if I wanted to keep it, he wouldn't sell it and would let me have it.but I have been fence-sitting on it for too long, so he ended up just buying his boat anyway.
>>28854633You ever ride the V-rod?
I'd take the V-rod, honestly. I've never cared for HD personally. But out of the three I'd take the V-rod then the Africa twin.

>>28854674>MilesFark off cunt.
>>28853337I know scrambler looks cool but for whatever reason it has slightly different gearing than the standard Speed 400, for the worse. Also guys what is a bike that signals you're an asshat? Will Ducati Diavel do it?
>>28854148It used to be British but what happened was they were producing Bullets on license in jeetland so when RE proper went bankrupt they just remained the last men standing.Generally outside of Triumph, the British brands were taken over by jeets.The Chinese do similar things with Italian brands. You get motherfucking obscure shit like SWM bought by Chinese and they start selling their motorcycles and scooters with those brandnames for some reason. I don't know, Shineray seems as exotic as SWM to me but Chinese seem to have obsession with Italy for some reason so maybe that's what's happening.

>>28854757Uh, probably the rubber trim that they don't glue in, but prefer to rely on friction to hold itself together.I know a lot of my tanks have that little rubber strip that likes to fall off around the tank.Maybe he's making sure the fuel tank prop rod isn't in the way.

>>28854656i do but I hate the fact that I cant leave my gear with the bike when I go somewhere in it (mainly the helmet)where I live, if you leave any brand helmet on your parked bike and look away for 5 seconds then its gonei looked at the saddle bags options but most arent big enough for a full face helmet and these bag/box cost a fortune for some reasonwith ADV I could easily fit a topbox to put shit inI guess there is a topbox for the vrod too if I really look for it

Lads, my dear old goldwing has developed a coolant leak. I cbf paying goldwing prices to fix it. Time to get a new bike.I'm thinking RE Himilayan or CB650R or CL500.Kind of want to go do some adventuring in the desert so leaning towards the himi.

>>28854956Honda > all
>>28854851Nice choice, why not Transalp or vstrom 650?
>>28854933>what to expect from dailying a hondaexpect it to work>what to expect from dailying a scutereveryone will laugh at you. Especially in the rainLMAO i’m laughing just thinking about someone riding this little thing to work. Do you work in Santa’s workshop making jack-in-the-box because otherwise this is inappropriate

Things I want from a bike from most to least important:>fun to ride at 35-90 mph>cheap to buy and maintain>0-60 in less than 4 s>top speed no less than 110 mphIn other words:>redpill me on buying an SV650
>>28854966May I suggest an alternative
>>28854933wait I thought the silver wing was a baby gold wing. why'd they slap that name on two completely different motorcycles
>>28854964Yeah that makes sense, got the feeling it was pretty silly looking when I tried it out. Im guessing an open face helmet is my best bet because a full faced or 3/4 helmet on this thing makes me feel like I’m wearing a fedora. Shouldn’t be an issue if I never leave town with it.
>>28854977I don’t know, but it was only a grand for a 28k mile scooter without any issues so I can’t complain.
>>28854933how is this not consider a maxi scooter at this point?
>>28854986It technically is, although it claims 600cc it’s actually 580cc so I’d consider it the manlet of maxi scooters.
>>28854974>The mighty GS is postedYea!
>>28854631>it didn't rain during a "heat wave"NO WAY! REALLY??Visiting the UK is on my bucket list and one day I will ride in the rain while sipping on tea as I listen to The Beatles and do whatever I can to make the British people smile so I can laugh at their crooked teeth. All while wearing a Guy Fawkes mask.
>>28854933That's a big heavy bike that should be fantastic on the highway but a bit cumbersome around the city. It's classified as a Maxi and I think you're going to love it. I know I would.
>>28854966Seems like you are already redpilled. I'd say get the one with FI and ABS.Steel braided lines and GSXR frontend if I'm going full hog.
What is the most hated bike you have ever owned?How did you get it?Do you still have it?
>>28854956We all are Suzuki lovers. Love Suzuki and buy Suzukis please.
>>28855002Google AI just told me that maxi is above 250, so 580 is more than double the minimum requirement. Hardly a manlet of scooters.
i love scoot
>>28855056hated by whom? i love all of my bikes but cagers tend to hate me/my bike.
>smile from an old man>smiles from childrenC90 brings a smile everywhere it goes
>>28855063what's not to love.scoots ca go anywhere and they'll never be out-of-place. i ride my scoot (slowly) on the sidewalk at times and nobody gives a crap.
>>28854956Yamaha has the most recalls in motorcycling history, let alone amongst the big 4. It's deserved desu
>>28855072>Yamaha has the most recalls in motorcycling historySource?
>>28855072Yamaha has the most wins in MotoGP history, let alone amongst the big 4
>>28854560Not an option either.
>>28855075I hate how the off road segment has been taken over by pig bikes.
>>28855081When I was renting a Yamaha Nmax I stored my water bottle in this perfectly sized compartment.
>>28855075>GS >not on smooth tarmacked roadFake
>>28855083are all ADV just mall crawler?
>>28855085I'm jealous of scooter riders now too. When I'm at a stop light being able to just reach over and grab my drink would be heaven
>>28855057... because Suzukis are extraordinary
>>28855076Look it up for yourself, just in the last 10 years alone they had 49 catastrophic recalls.>>28855080That's a lie though, Honda has the most motogp wins of all manufacturers.Yamaha shills seem to lie the most of any brand, even ducatistas can own up to their shortcomings far more it seems.
>>28855029HYBWhenever I see these pics, Shania Twain starts playing in my head
>everyone slowly taking the scoot pillyes
>>28855139I just want a cupholder, man.Is there a way to like mount a cupholder on my thigh so it stays upright even when my leg is bent?
>>28855139No
>>28855130>just in the last 10 years alone they had 49 catastrophic recalls.Tranny cope, if there's something wrong with your YAMAHA it says something about you and nothing about YAMAHA.
Anyone here drive/have experience with a Bear 650? I'm looking at one as my first bike.
Motorcycles
>>28854756only tangentially related but it reminds me of what happened with denim and japan. after occupation there was an obsession with americana. as american manufacturers moved on to projectile looms that could produce fabric faster. japanese mills imported the old shuttle looms that american factories were getting rid of. the lower throughput of shuttle looms and focus on craftsmanship has led to japanese denim being some of the highest quality available.
>>28854817i copped a pair of pic related for 45$ on ebay. old stock fives. idk i think gauntlets are fine bc i'm normally wearing a jacket anyway.
She is literally me
>>28855212I do that with one of my bikes because it is my really nice one and I want everything on it done right. My other one gets all the wrenching.
>>28855219If you want everything on it done right, you should do the work yourself desuMe, I lost my wrenching buddy and working on bikes by myself just sucks ass. I have 3 bikes now, other hobbies and a job. I just can't be arsed anymore
>>28855212>letting another nigga touch my 'kucoldest day in hell, maybe if they paid me instead of me paying them, even then id probably let them touch the truck but not the bike. its just too risky and cucked.
>>28855226Wise words, anon, wise words
>>28855223NTA but it I'm doing it myself it's not getting done right
>>28855229It is within your power to change that. With the mechanic, you just get to pay at the end and pray he only sniffed a little bit of glue
It finally stopped raining for a couple of days.
>>28855223>If you want everything on it done right, you should do the work yourselfTrue and I have. but I usually don't have the patience to do deal with some stuff. Escpecially when I can see in my mind an extremely simple thing to do something but some designer thought it was too simple. For example, the valves that I did. There is an acess panel for the valve cover which many other scooters make it big enough to make valve adjuatments. But Kymco? Noooooo. You have to remove half of the plastics just to get at the floorboard so you can finally have space to remove the valve cover. Even scooter guys cannot escape the engineer menace.

how do you clean your visor / goggles?i'm usually pretty paranoid about not getting sunglasses scratched up and that means i basically never touch the lenses ever.but my visor is getting pretty filthy and it's about time to bite the bullet.

>>28855288If it's covered in bugs, I soak some paper towels and plaster them onWait a couple minutes, then have at it with lukewarm water, hand soap and a microfiber cloth. Be patient, don't use a lot of pressure, just gently clean itDry off with microfiber towelDoneI do this around weekly, visors last years

>>28855387Stop making fun of Yamaha!! You wouldn't make fun of other mentally challenged people!!
>>28855387just think about it. the most reliable motorcycle brand is suddenly unreliable when it is passed into your hands. what does that say about you?does it expose you as being a dark life form or a white person? keep in mind, all these other white and asian men are having no issues, yet you are having issues with YAMAHA. whats it mean?
>>28855253Shoom i love alternate secret Rin so bad...but i don't think she'd have a good time riding pillion,it's probably not even safe for her, so sad...>>28855288microfiber cloth and one of those visor soaps in a spray bottle, it's one of the things i carry every time in my tailbag>>28854817sorry i missed your plead anon, i only have two gloves: super flimsy summer gloves and some more cold resistant five ones that are textile and waterproof.I think if you don't care about waterproofing you should get leather as they will get nice and soft the more you use them, check for palm slider and personally i don't use full length ones, if you have any plan on driving standing you might prefer half ones.
>>28855420When people hear the words Japanese Reliability the first brand they think of is Honda. Always has always will. >>28855405Kek, you right.
>>28855441seethe darkie
>>28854959Money basically. If I get a himilayan it'll be my first offroad bike since I was a little kid. I think I'd cry if I stacked a new transalp. Himi is nice ans cheap.

How come we don't have a gacha where the girls somehow represent a specific motorcycle yet? Like the anime girl who is a Hayabusa or Grom.
wind is scary.i was riding my drz down a 55 mph highway and it's just open farms on either side. wind was ripping across the road. i just tucked in and deathgripped the bars to try and stay straight. what are you meant to do about that?

gf got a cute pic of me today at Ortega after I did quick back-forth for the cameramanBought a camera recently and hoping to learn action photography and try doing my own highway photos camp site, seems like fun (:
>>28855599Charlie-brown-ass kando face.
>>28855599Anon, you're recommending a comic where a high school girl has an illict affair with her high school teacher, and has to drop out and sell her cub because she gets pregnant. You should recommend more wholesome manga.
>>28855273It's hilarious when cagers try to design bikes. Whoever designed this thing obviously doesn't know how to ride a motorcycle.
>>28855454I can't believe we had our very own hane chan (pink horny anon)
>>28855288I just put a clean, damp cloth on the visor and let it sit for a couple hours or whatever. It softens up all the dried bug guts, then I just wipe it clean, then dry with a different soft cloth.The same method works for my windshield.
>>28855288The big bottle on the left for my visor and the little bottle on the right for my glasses which don't get cleaned as often as the visor. I clean my visor every day.I recommend both because:>it just werks™However; the Oxford stuff can't be used with my glasses because it will scratch the Reactive UV coating on the lenses, so if your sunglasses have a similar coating then I wouldn't recommend the Oxford stuff. That's why I use the Zeiss stuff on my glasses. But it's way more expensive.Microfibre cloth, ofc.
>>28855523I had this on my goldwing once it was wild. Big wing gets windage like a large ship.
>>28855523Life on the Great Plains is often ridiculously windy. Even my pigfat Harley gets uncomfortable when the wind is peroendicular to my path, and leaving the city without my windshield is a no-go. I wish I lived somewhere with more hills. Or beaches.
>>28855644Nice dubs. Welcome back Fazer kun. Do you still ride your scoot?
Went on an early morning ride to the beach.
>>28855701never left brotherman>Do you still ride your scoot?my gf's scoot, sold it back to our friend, she's gotta big bike now
Do you like birbs? I think they are tell racist jokes to each other.
More birbs.
>>28855703>big baikWhich one? Pics please.
>>28855683I want hills too, but hills close enough. Like 100 to 150 km.
>>28855523drive a car
>>28855702I don't like sand. It's so course and rough.
>>28855644N A R R O W
>>28855732I didn't take my bike in sand. I don't have the skills yet.
I was holding onto my only set of riding pants hoping that I would outgrow them with hitting the gym, my thighs were just starting to get a little bit tight and the button hard to close. I just ripped a massive hole about 2 inches from the cuff. This is fucking bullshit.
>>28854765>>28854767These bikes are so completely different to anything I've seen on the street. wow
>>28854803noice>not sure if I can live with itlel you're not alone. Another anon that is constantly wrenching on his soviet bikes has an old one and hates it.
>>28855209>>28854817Five gloves are the best gloves I've ever owned.

How do people mount their phone on the bike?I look at shit like Motowolf's MH1 and it seem pretty cheap
>>28854817i will say: maybe don't get ventilated ones. maybe i'm just weird but i normally don't have problems with regular leather gloves, but ventilated ones get fucking freezing if it's not uncomfortably hot outside.
>>28855656H-hot
>>28855838I see some people have a bar mount that goes from mirror to mirror.
>bike speedo is in km/h>converter into back of gauge to convert to mph>find replacement front end + speedo from UK bike>it reads in mphWhats going to happen if i remove the converter and run the cable directly into the speedo?will it read mph correctly?Sorry for the retarded post , i have a speedo that will fit from the donor bike but its showing 9k miles more
So I noticed that, when is time to go on travel, people here seem to use paniers and a seat bag. I'm planning a trip, I don't have paniers but I do have a top box, why does people seem to avoid the top box? Does it mess to much with the handling?
>>28854935>>28855253>>28854937I just want a woman with small tits and actually shows some interest in me ...And not for my honda rebel
>>28855899I do 120 to 130kph on highways on my GS and top box is completely fine, I cannot feel any difference. I personally don't like panniers because it makes the bike fatter and I can't filter through traffic. I do like my top box. Its nice.
>>28855881You don't need a converter, just need that plastic sheet with number printed on it. Just replace it in the speedo.
I'm going on early morning rides on weekdays. I feel like a rebel.
>walk outside >wind tore the straps off my bike cover I hate how weather has been a 30 degree difference throughout the day and it is still rainy season.
>>28855920Thanks anon, i may look into itI have two speedos currently, my original and the one from the donor bike Ive had my speedo apart before to stick on km/h stickers (as the bike reads in mph only and the MOT tester threw a hissy fit because "What if you take this little 125 to Europe or something??") It passed MOT (annual inspection) for the previous 18 years with this speedo but suddenly it was a "major fail" that made it unsafe, the fucking twats Quick check on ebay and all these speedos are fetching £50-£200+ so id rather not rip it apart and risk wrecking it Might just stick the 36k speedo on and call it a day, it will save a lot of fucking around, original speedo died at 25k and ive put around 2k+ on it since then Any idea on how much a garage would charge to roll back the mileage? It can be done with these old style tumbler meters but again my retard monkey brain would more than likely snap these brittle fragile plastic tabs and such kek Pic rel

>>28856097Roll it down a hill
>>28856116>a speedo alternativeSo you plan to use your phone's GPS as a speedometer? I don't see why a QUADLOCK™ wouldn't work but you might need to connect your phone to a powerbank because having the screen on permanently will drain your battery.I've used various forms of QUADLOCK™ mounts on all of my motorbikes and bicycles and I have zero complaints. Maybe a bit pricey but they work well and have options to fit pretty much every bike.
