redpill me on supercub bikes
>>28884215the perfect /o/tist bike, it's cheap, sl/o/w, and cute
Another comfy day for riding
Filled up this morning and cost me 20$ Guess I'll try and sell more feet pics tonight to support my hobbies
>>28884215You can go anywhere on a Cubexcept from the dealership since Honda discontinued them in the US for poor sales (no one is paying $5k for a Super Cub)
>>28884188in the unlikely event i get pulled over, should i be worried about having a regular license and not a motorcycle specific license?
if I want to take suzuki pillwhere do I start?
>>28884215crazy expensive for a 125 because nostalgia.the ones in north america are a pain in the ass to set up for a pillion.also the north american ones have ugly angular turn signals honda stole off a much more modern looking bike I assume to meet minimum turn signal separation. seen here>>28884264I look at the east asian honda websites and everything about those cubs just seems better than the ones we get here.
>>28884284Depends where you are.
>>28884215>>28884287pic rel, thai version. comes stock with pillion seat and foot pegs, cuter turn signals and an adjusted msrp of $2,730. no wonder nobody in america bought them
>>28884284I rode for 25 years without having a license, just showed my regular car license when stopped by cops. Never had a problem, but this was in American red states where the cops don't care what non-methed out white people do.
>>28884292I always loved the pillion pegs being on the swingarm. Keeps your passenger on their toes.
>pillion on a 125Surely you'd be faster on a tandem bicycle?
>>28884296>I rode for 25 years without having a license,I dont think you did.
>>28884303Back in the good old days when I was 16 and had an Aprilia RS125, I was riding with ny then gf on the backseat doing 160kmh on the highway.Also managed to seize the engine and it was like -15°C outside.
>>28884303I've seen a TZR 50 (prob juiced up with 90cc) take off like a rocket with two teens on it
>>28884292>msrp of $2,730. no wonder nobody in america bought themBetween the high prices and need for higher speed/acceleration on US roads the math on choosing a scooter over a moyorcycle is just bad in the US. Not to mention the ease of theft, which makes owning a scooter risky in the one US environment where they are actually a practical choice.
>>28884303would you believe they used to put them on a 50?
>>28884305OK.
>>28884310TBF that grill probably weight 100lbs even. But I had a 1959 pushrod cub in college and it would run all day at an honest 50mph and 35-40-ish with a reasonably sized passenger. >>28884309$2730 in Thailand, not the US
I'm a newb getting license, can you tell me something about Suzuki Vstrom DL650 pls? I like how it looks and Im sure I will love riding it, but how it is seen among other riders? Inb4 gayest motorcycle ever
>>28884305I did that by accident. When I turned of age I got a motorcycle license *only* which I could do as it's a separate license class in California, not an endorsement. Years later the CA DMV decided to treat it as an endorsement and require a car license first. People like me who had an MC only license got converted to a car-only license in the ensuing confusion. So I was riding on a car-only for some amount of time... I only learned of this when I noticed a no-license surcharge on my insurance. SOOOO I got to do that damned tests again.Since then someone sued the DMV and forced them to follow the law. You can get an MC only license again in California.So end the end I took the MC tests twice and never took the car tests but I have a car license as well.BTW when it was MC only I drove cars and got pulled over plenty of times, dumb cops never noticed. Never got caught without the MC license on a bike tho.
Will i be "safer" riding a dual sport on cold, barely above or just under freezing temperatures compared to a normal road bike?
>>28884324'Stroms are great, what you taking about
>>28884264I prefer the Trail Cub and Monkey, they're cuter.
How come no one waves at scooters?
>>28884324Wee strom is fine, nobody gives a fuck what any one else rides as long as it’s not a scooter
>>28884326Nah, cold tires are cold whether they are street or trail. ABS is nice to have with cold tires tho.
I really wanted one of these as a kid, but my broke ass couldn't afford them nor did I have a license back then.Nowadays all the 125cc ones are gone and there's only the occasional 50cc available.
>>28884331>nobody gives a fuck what any one else rides as long as it’s not a scooterYou'd get a forever nickname among your colleagues of ronald mcdonald or simply a clown if you'd pull on acid green ninja 400 to the office job.
>>28884338>Oh no my limp dicked office coworkers are talking shit like a bunch of asian women in a hair salon, better bend to their opinions instead of doing what I want to do, I'm sure when I'm on my deathbed I'll be thinking of their little nickname for me
>>28884330They deserve no respect because they can't operate a clutch
>>28884341Sounds like you are 17 and have no idea what are you talking about.
>>28884309i mean thats why they made fat scooters
>>28884348 No, he's right. Fuck coworker drama. If you're competent and reliable then avoiding work cliques and being your own person is all you need.
>>28884335A 160cc underbone with manual shifting would be a pretty neat toy.
>>28884338I don’t know where you guys find these people who are so socially stunted that they’re giving mean nicknames, I’ve never encountered this in my life
>>28884149i am a wrenchlord and do engine swaps in the woods, but i havent touched a bike really. i wanted something i could take on long trips, take up a few trails, and had lots of support. there were other cheap bikes but when i asked about them here, most of them were shit, my friend and my grandfather bought 883 sportsters and they just fall apart constantly. $2k is about the floor for running usable bike market so im pulling the trigger now, there are more than a few available at this price, this is just the newest one, 23k miles
>Suzuki SV7GX costs 9k euro cause it's muh new, even though it's just SV650 with fairing and euro 5+ engine>meanwhile Honda CB750 costs 8k euro despite having 20 more hp
>>28884387>soulful V Twin>imposter 270 degree ptwin I know which I would choose
>>28884387Between Honda's unbeatable reliability and competitive pricing, it's small wonder that over 40% of riders around the world have chosen to Ride Red™.
>>28884373The White House.
Are Diablo Rosso IV forgiving tires? I don't want a profile that is too sporty and doesn't grip properly if not warm enough>inb4 Pisellii've got to support small local enterprises
What is /o/‘s opinion on Triumph?Everything I see online is that it’s pretty reliable but not Jap reliable and pretty (looks), good (average quality).
A Northern UK vtuber made an offhand comment regarding CN motorcycles, and it stuck with me. >The middle managers of sedans, the ones like Toyotas, Hondas... It's so easy to be replaced by the likes of Hyundai and Kia. And that's exactly what the Chinese bikes are doing.Leaving aside price, because I understand money is tight these days, and leaving aside if the CN manufacters are on the same level as the KR Chaebols, this is a fascinating analogy. Not that Kla Kia or a Hyundai is terrible, but past 100k miles, I didn't think most people equated a Honda or a Toyota to a Kia in terms of reliability, or parts breakage.UK bros, what's the average mileage you guys put on a car each year? How many years before your cars hit the 100k and 200k marks, respectively? I'm wondering if this isn't a difference in hours spent on the highway between how US and UK/EU people approach vehicles.
>>28884469What vtuber?
>>28884372The Madass did come as a 160cc at one point, with a 4 speed manual transmission. They have a clutch too.I've seen one 160cc madass myself, but they're incredibly rare over here because ain't no one going to pay A2 motorcycle money and insurance for a souped up A1/125 bike. A lot of kids just put big bore kits on the 125 ones to make them more or less 160cc and didn't tell the officials about it.
Every video ive ever seen on 125cc bikes its always "this is a great bike for beginner or teen riders". Why is this a thing ? Is it an American thing since 125cc bikes are basically useless because of the speed requirements? It's so much more fun to zoom around in a 125cc than a 1000cc about 95% of the time. I admit that the remaining 5% of the time (when I'm riding on the freeway) is less fun on a 125cc. Ive tried all kinds of bikes, but for my country where we barely ever have speeds above 60 a 125 is so much more fun
>>28884472Natethepostman. Seems like a straight shooting guy, so that's why I'm curious if some context is being lost across the pond.
>>28884472>>28884481Shit, youtuber, not vtuber. Wrong industry.
>>28884481>>28884482Fucks sake, you had me going for a bit there
>>28884480>Obeying speed limits
>>28884487You know what, fuck it. Give him a literal sock puppet with Kermit the Frog eyes, erase any shred of dignity he has, ask him to pontificate on bikes, mailmen, and the state of the UK, he'd be a 4 view in a month.
Remember to stay hydrated, fellow motorcycle enthusiast
>>28884495Stay frosty out there, Redo Cometo-san.
>>28884453Almost every from every major manufacturer bike is reliable enough to commute every day Just ride >>28884480I think in general for cars and motorcycles there’s a decades long obsession with bigger engine bigger engine bigger engine The duke has the same engine size and performance the super duke used to The corolla is the size of the Camry For me I think 650-850cc has always been the sweet spot for motorcycles, from abroad to here at home (883 my beloved)
>>28884504HELL YEAH BROTHER
>>28884509FOR THE GLORY OF JOHN
Did my first pass this weekend. Splendid.
>>28884521redpill me on supermots
>>28884521Sick photo. Can I feed it into chatgpt?
>>28884538Obvious troll is Obvious
>>28884284Do you think you can get a meaningful answer without saying where you are?
>>28884309>need for higher speed/acceleration on US roadsI actually accelerate just fine. You're definitely not doing highway speeds because the wind is really bad and people are going 90. But I take florida state roads with 65mph limits no problem. And I accelerate to 35 faster than most cars, then keep up well enough up to 55. It honestly works well for any intracity travel. I can even go orlando-daytona on "back" roads, but I wouldn't want to do it often. The only problem really is the $6000 price tag OTD.
>>28884537Fast throttle response, easy to fix. Plenty of mods and improvements. Cheap if you crash.
>>28884537Me again, what do you ride currently?
Anyone near Albuquerque, NM want to ride to Payson, AZ tomorrow?
>>28884575CB650R and TTR250 enduro>>28884568why not get a cheap japanese roadster from the 90's or something though
>>28884584Ugh. You have a nice selection already. Sumo are fun for city driving, twisties and a bit of off-road.But they're not perfect in the dirt like an enduro or long distance street like a street bike.I'd like to get a 701 but not sure yet myself.
>>28884599I rly like Husqvarnas but I'm worried about the maintenance and finding parts and stuff there's not a big market for those in my country
Also. Albuquerque you have the worst roads I have seen comparable to Los Angeles.
>>28884608Are the gurs of the bike not the same as KTM's 690?
>>28884609comf'>>28884612idk honestly I've never ridden anything but japanese bikes. For some time I rly wanted a svartpilen

>>28884281>no one is paying $5k for a Super CubThis is the main thing.The 110 is like 2k in Japan and the 125 is around 3100 in Japan.They shouldn't be over 5k here in the US, very few are going to buy for 5k but I could see them being bought for 3100.Im actually seeing a lot of XR150L on the road recently I am assuming because of the price.
>>28884793In Australia before the stopped selling them they were almost $8k. To put that in perspective a R3 was $7k.

>>28884655Everythingmoe
>>28884853Its 5'10" my guy. But I think you'll be fine. Why not get a shorter lighter bike as a first bike? Int650? Cb500r?
>>28884863I'm not indian that's why. I consider NC750X as well. Basically choosing between those two. Found a video comparison of the, the size difference HUGE
>>28884857Changing the oil on that bike takes 5 minutes. It has a center stand and no fairings. Plus on that trip you can just release the used oil right onto the ground when you're passing through France
>>28884873>Plus on that trip you can just release the used oil right onto the ground when you're passing through FranceOkay that's a fair point.
Nevermind they are basically the same, it was probably a confusing camera perspective.
>>28884863I found the int650 slightly difficult to flat foot because of its wide seat GT650 was more comfy

Can i remove brake pads and clean a calliper without removing the brake line?Recently fitted new forks with a disc set up to replace the drum of deathBrake is sticking slightly, bike still moves and stops, but its dragging, i cant get my little 125 sewing machine to pull in 5th gear Doing it at a friends house and he likes to complain about and mess or stains on the driveway so id like to limit the mess
>>28885400Ok one go get some cardboard from a dumpster so your mess doesn't get on the ground.And yes you can, just be careful not to pull it off and leak brake fluid everywhere.
I wish we got more front lever suspensions and shaft drives on the motorcycles. Manufacturers cutting costs forced a bicycle technology upon us unfortunately.
>>28885407Thanks anon, im hoping a good clean will free them up with out having to rip the entire calliper apart , was in storage for at least 2 years before i got the forks/brakes , indoors so no mad rust or corrosion
>>28885410No worries thumper brother. Do remember to check the university of YouTube before doing it, you don't want to be half done and something you should have known fucks up.

>>28885446You going to ride it on paved roads 95% of time and just occasionally force yourself to find some dirt in order to cope with that.
>>28885451They're designed for that. 21 inch front is better for American roads. Full of holes and expansion joints.
>>28885330F800GT
>>28885475It's on the first place in my list of potential first bikes. I've watched tons of reviews, but could you tell me about it from your experience?
>>28885451dont listen to this guyjust ride it whever in fact get the adventure sport and DCT even
>>28885483unless you live in EUim going to cross all European bikes off that list for youin fact I will even cross off Kawasaki too
>>28885483Its terrible. The ECU reprograms itself to make the fuel/air more rich on long highway rides. When you exit the highway and downshift it floods the engine and stalls in first unless you give it a little throttle. Getting access to the engine requires unstacking origami for about an hour. So many specific tools just to use for one thing. Pic rel. Socket attachment to get access to the fuel pump.
>>28885451
Inb4 ppl start suggesting.I've replace the idle control device.Checked the hoses connected to idle control device. Replaced the fuel pump. Ran Lucas fuel injector cleaner. Paid mechanics close to 2k to not solve the problem. Scrolled through so many f800riders forums about it. It's just not good.
>>28885508>putting your life in the hands of bmwdumbass MF, should have got a honda wtf are you doing lel

>>28885512Went to a used dealership looking to buy a salvage vulcan900 for $500 to work on. The looks of the F800GT make me spend more than I'm happy admitting to buy a 2013 with 16k miles. Suffering is the best teacher.
>>28885516i mean reviewer are all the same in every industry, they are all shillsthey get FREE SHITS to review so they only say nice and good thing to shill the manufacturethen by only saying the good things more manufactures give them more shit to reviews
>>28885516F800riders dot net has the best resources of knowledge.EME out of Colorado and BMWMax have the cheapest parts. Cheap being hahahahahaha!
>>28885508What even is the problem you're having?
>>28885519I mean I've had an old sportscar Mercedes here, in fact I'm living in the B from BMW abbreviation, so I have warmer feelings about those manufacturers.
>>28885522Rough idle/ stalls in first gear after riding a long time in 5th or 6th gear. Also to the list I've checked the valve clearance and replaced the spark plugs.
>>28885525just sell that shit dude, the fuck are you doing

Is it gud?
>>28885608No.
So this unholy contraption actually seems to work, guess i own a LC4 with a proper oil-circuit now.And since the carb and the engine are friends as well now im not as depressed about the purchase anymore.
>Beautiful day >Want to ride>Gas is very expensive>Don't want to ride>But really want to learn wheelie
>>28885630Doesn't even cost 20$ to fill up. Get a job, scrub
>>28885554Checked them when I replaced the spark plugs and valve clearance.
>>28885653Bet you didn't do it right
>>28885525i mean it certainly sounds like its running too rich in idle, might be an air-leak behind the throttle valve.
>>28885630>cries about how expensive gas is>wants to do something that blows forks out, rapes clutches and clutch baskets, and puts heavy load on the engine>many such short sighted cases
>>28885525That's strange. The same engine is used in F800R, F800S/ST and F800GS, and god knows where. In fact it's an austrian Rotax 804 engine, who also produces aircraft engines. BMW most certainly has used ECU from Bosch to control it, and it's simply the best ECU manufacturer in the world. How common is the issue? I'll spend some time asking Chatgpt about it.
>>28885669>>28885653also google suggests the F800s got throttle valves which are adjustment screws so maybe just set up the idle a little bit higher?
Is OEM boxes worth it?or do I just get cheap chinesium square aluminum boxes?
>>28885680You're bad at trolling
>>28885653see if you can borrow working ones from someone and try it out. Isn't that part expensive? How did you check it?
I'm on a motorcycle content kick again but I can't afford a motorcycle The gear and the insurance mostly
>>28885699Youre a nobike
>>28885669But it only happens when I ride for a long time in top or fifth gear. If I stay 4 and under it never happens.
>>28885662That's entirely possible. I had to do the head gasket three times because I fucked it up.
>>28885617Is it an addon oil circuit kit?
>>28885475>F800GTBro has a bike that says faggot in 1337speak lmaoooooo
Any way of fixing visors with lots of tiny scratches?
>>28885699buy a bike $1000 cheaper than the one you want and suddenly you’ll be able to afford gear and insurance.not that you actually *need* either of those things
>>28885451so if I mostly going to spend 99% on the road and 1% on the dirt driveway before I enter/leaving my garageI should go with sport touring instead of adv touring?
>>28885605Kys
>>28885723Replace it.
>>28885685I think quality ones are worth it. Chink ones don't seal, are not waterproof. They are a bad copy.
>>28885717It's half of an oil-filter relocation kit and an oil-cooler from temu.I couldn't use the original oil filter setup anymore.
Shoomerbros. . . . .Do you ever rip it on sweet jumps? Or did the sweet jumps rip out from under (((you)))?
VFR woke up today. Started immediately and idle and ran perfectly. Third year of ownership with no carb adjustment or sync necessary. Definitely the best bike ever made
was supposed to go on a date today and she cancelled last minute, citing that she was streaming on twitch too much last night and didn't get any sleepsent her "k" and blocked her on everything, went out riding instead
>>28885835This bike turns 30 in August btw, I'm probably throwing it a party
>>28885088Based on your story it's obviously not the carb. That wouldn't start out good and then go bad halfway through a ride. You should check the charging system. The battery is most likely not charging because the reg/rec or wiring is fucked up.
>>28885838She probably was a nobike also
>>28885848yeah lol you're right she was a nobike
How do y'all keep your gloves from getting sweaty and gross? I have very sweaty hands and am about to turn into a no glove rider because of my grossness.
>>28885525This sounds like electrical gremlins. Might be the air fuel map is slow to recalibrate after a long ride. Could be a fouled o2 sensor also.
>>28885838Good man deflating the hoe economy.
>>28885839Based guy
>>28885861Buy cheap gloves and treat them as consumables.
>>28885861Put them outside so the sun can kill all the bacteria and evaporate the sweat
>>28885969>sunNice joke
>>28885858Based women btfo'erAlsoI thought that edc chain was a conceal carry>he never could do that in commieforniaBut you should, as a real amerigan>>28885861Get mechanix gloves and say goodbye to protections bwcause nothing is gonna help you besides a motorized airfan like the opposite of heated glovesOr idk, get perforated leathers and try going faster??AlsoIn other ShoomerNews Its over, again, picrel just spontaneously asploded incident
>>28885723Plastic-X by maguires or however the fuck you spell it. Assuming visor in question is plastic of course.Also can use headlight restoration product. Fun fact, you can restore gauge faces with the stuff as well. I have used it for numerous occasions. However if you have deep scratches then it won't fix it.>>28885835The only other bike a step above a 4th gen VFR is a 5th gen VFR. Legendary motorcycle, congrats on the long ownership here's to many more years.>>28886023Sun is a disinfectant unironically. It's the #1 way to kill mold.
>>28885861Put latex gloves on and then put your riding gloves on. You will still sweat and the intern tempature of your hands will rise but all of the sweat will be collected inside the latex glove. This is great if you ride in cold climates.
>>28886026yeah I use a pistol lanyard as a wallet chain, been doing it for yearsworks pretty goodlast pic of the day, I'm going home to drink some sapporo
>>28886023Nah look it up>uv from the sun fucks up any microbe>the heat evaporates the water which microbes needIn theory too the inside of the glove should get hot enough to kill stuff too.Just don't leave the stuff out all day.
>>28885847But I've got a brand new battery in it and it makes sounds when I try to turn it over like it's got charge. It just doesn't turn over all the way and wont stay on at idle.
>>28885765
This shit Is so funHad a lot of fun on green lanes and slowly raising the bar until we where hitting loose rock trails with adv dad.He said he's really impressed but i'm way too stiff, i Need to learn to move on the bike and let It do it's thing and of course on the last Downhill of the day on a Rocky One i hit a big loose rock,closed the front and slid down the hill with the bike for a couple of meters.Round two tomorrow
>>28886058>rebel with knobbysWHOA
I rode a quad for the first time today, not sure what people see in these vehicles. Two wheels is too good
>>28886127He multiclassed the leg legionaire with the kenshi bushidont tell me what to do women, ethos of the samurai ronin clansBasically a subquest when you acquire knobbiesYou know what they say>no you dont, cause youre also a nobieksOnly a hasbike would know
>>28885699Sell your car
>>28885861Buy summer gloves that have fabric ventilation between the fingers and top of the hand.
>>28886122Are you fucking kidding me? Did you find a 650Xchallenge in good condition? The used bike market in the EU is ridiculous.
>>28886026>Get mechanix glovesThey're made out of lowest quality leather so enjoy your road rash.
Anyone have experience with modern Royal Enfield's? They're extremely cheap even if they're a bit bare bones on equipment, makes me wonder if they have issues with quality.
>>28886192Theyre better as a trail glove or working on the bike as per their capacity dor dexterityThere isnt really a protective usecase for them vs road rash no, perforated leathers bout the only close for that
>>28886170That Is my dad's bike it's way too tall for me to use. He had one some years ago that he sold and now he got another One because he really likes it
>>28886200Whats your budget is the actual question youre asking but not telling us the answer to, nobike
>>28886216I don't really want to spend more than 15k, could go up to $25 with out financing if I really want to. I'm interested in a retro looking bike that isn't a HD. I'm mostly looking at RE and Triumph lines, but other things like the Kawasaki W800 and BMW R12 are also on my radar.>nobikeSadly true, I haven't ridden since I sold my Honda Nighthawk 3-odd years ago.
>>28886222The answer is buy both my bikes instead so i can become your former self and you also become your former self but here and nowYOU GET ME???BROS BUY THE ZX14R AND CRF450RL(KILL) I DONT WANT A BIKE ANYMORE, NOT EVEN A NIGHTHAWK
>>28885685>cheap chinesium square aluminum boxes?Those "aluminum" boxes splattered all over ebay, and probably amazon, are actually plastic. Source: my retard ass bought one a few years ago. I don't know about OEM, but if you want metal then definitely don't get the chink shit. I recommend soft luggage though, looks cooler, you can over stuff it, and you can make it hug your bike better. Hard luggage is cringe.
>>28886200A tractor that won't die.The 650s have their cat built into the exhaust so a slip on is also a decat.
>>28886148i have a biek
Do you guys use normal armored moto jackets or do you wear something more stylish?
>>28886245I wear a stylish long sleeved black teeshirt with a polyester hi-viz vest. >dress for the slide, not for the rideJust don't crash bro.
I gotta know, what’s the suspension like for the 80’s Honda XL’s in regards to basic off-roading? Not like motocross, but just off-road/dirt roads? The prices on marketplace are really tempting.
>>28886280Slighty better than a modern bicycle.
>>28886282ouch.
>>28886280You could probably swap on the front end off a downhill MTB. Or a cheap dirt bike front end.
>>28886245>Stylish>>StylishM8. I've only come off my bike once in 21 years and it's a miracle all I got was a snapped calcaneofibular ligament (because I was wearing shoes, not boots).Noone gets on their bike with the intent of getting into a crash.
>>28886295I meant stuff like armored shirts with a regular jacket on over the top and such instead of the normal stuff. I'm getting tired of my normal armored moto jacket.
>>28884330They don't wave back. There's several scoots in my area, I used to wave and they never returned it, or waved back like a little kids saying bye. I don't wave to them anymore. They don't want to be bikers, so I won't try to make them. Different subculture. No animosity, just don't engage with them.
>>28886245My armored rev'it is the most stylish thing I own. I think it looks really cool. Kind of lame on the picture, but I like how it looks on me, despite being fat.
>>28884330Might be regional. People waved at me all the on the 'cub around north of Orlando. No one waves at me around Daytona.
>>28885028I used to do that with the one I had by accident, just forget to shift down at a stop and take off slow and not even realize it. I miss that bike, but my situation only allows for one, so I traded it towards my current Z900RS.
>>28886245I have a whole closet of stuff. But I really like wearing pic related most of the time, I got it 50% off on close out. Looks way darker in person and its AA rated too. I also have its mesh cousin in bright blue I wear in the summer.
>>28884330I always nod at scoots, even cruisers.Scoots _never_ nod because they don't know about bikes. Cruisers seem to either sit firmly in the cheerful 'wave' or *I'm not going to acknowledge a sports bike grrr* persona.
I drank some wine and I've just been standing here looking at her. She's so beautiful.
>>28886339You're drunk, give me the keys.
Which route is better?
>>28886357or
>>28886245I have a normal armored jacket, Reax brand, but I also have the Pando Moto under armor with the cooling technology for summer because I live in Texas.>>28886238Bro, you can't leave the bike life, bro. Don't do it Shoomers.>>28885630I know that feel bro. After 3 years I'm finally making a valiant effort. It's slow, but I am making progress. >>28885595Looks sick >>28885525Have you checked for a vacuum leak?Would be very good if you could put an emissions sniffer in the tail pipe to see if it's running rich or lean when it happens.
>>28886357>>28886358Is this a day trip or you staying over night somewhere?
>>28886365Day trip, but I am considering extending my rental to two days so I can do both rides
>>28886368Chiba would be better, if your not going the full way on izu for the yuru camp locations don't bother.
>>28886345R3 anon? That you? I can't tell from this distance and angle.
>>28885969As a ginger I cant support the sun
>>28884309Scooters would be great in cities, but there's only one state that lets motorcycles filter and split lanes. For the other 90% of the US population, you're just sitting in traffic like every other asshole, but without the benefit of AC/heat. There's zero reason to ever buy a scooter when an e-bike (or even normal bicycle) lets you filter, spilt, get your own lane, and park off the street for like half the price of a scooter.>>28884562Which sucks because there's tons of times where just going down the intersate for an exit saves so much time than taking the normal roads. It just gimps it too much to be really useful as something other than a toy. >$6,000 price tagThis is the real thing that strangled it. How the fuck did Honda ever think that number made sense?>>28884387Honest to god, I'd pay the extra €1k just for the v twin. I've got to buy gloves with gel pads in the palm to keep my hands from getting numbed by my parallel twin being so buzzy. As much as it sucks to have the sv650 replaced with another fuckass asphalt adv, just be glad they didn't shove the gsx-8r's engine in it. Also, the 20hp difference is meaningless.
>>28886357>>28886358Try taking the strait of homos hahahah, cuk
>>28886399Forced meme is lame
I fucking love the snake, it’s such perfect road, absolute joy the whole way up and down. I wish every road could be so tight and technical while having short quick straights and wide sweeping turns. It’s just so funFinally came out here with my camera and got some cool action shots, the people of the snake are fucking talented>>28886375Pretty sure that’s a bandit
>>28886358If it were me, and I was in Japan, I’d probably go this one. Seems to be the road less traveled, and if your goal was seeing the scenery- seems like a good idea.
>>28886404That was the regular photographer taking my pic, here’s some of mine

>>28884453its aright, my brother used to have onehe sold it to buy a bicycle that cost more than it but if I have to buy classic style bikes todayI rather get SR400 or any of the new neo retro shitespecially z900rs
>>28885861Summer gloves, also embrace the grossness.
>>28886361The 'blade is not mine.
>>28886459Nobody here is going to let you become a nobike.
I listen to nigger music in my AirPods while riding. Is it a big risk that if I die and the cops/EMT's see my phone they'll think I'm a wigger seeing that playing? I'm a white supremacist but listening to coon tunes can definitely invoke adrenaline while breaking traffic laws.
I've always wanted a Triumph. Cool bikes.
>>28886459you don't need to become a nobike fren
>>28885707>If I stay 4 and under it never happens.Thats bullshit, there is no way the transmission has any influence on the engine and how it runs in idle.I guarantee its not dependent on the gears you use but on oil/engine temperature.
I get lane splitters, go for it. It's the no helmet riders I don't understand
>>28886498>>28886524LET ME BE A NOBIKE FOR A RECOVERY AND OR TRAVEL TO A NEW CONTONENT AND GET SHOOMERS THERE

redpill me on phone holderi'm looking at chink onethey are much cheaper than quadlock and doesnt required you to glue quadlock adapter to the back of your phone or buy a new case
>>28886459are you the anon from couple of threads ago who got the bike stolen from city garage?so did you get insurance claim?
>>28886585That's why you buy Honda or BMW
>>28886587Are you asking for a 5 bucks financial advice?
>>28886593im asking for non quadlock optionsI dont want to glue some stupid adapter to my phone casesnot to mention they just dont play well with wireless charger
>tfw hornet 1000>have to fill in 1l of oil every 1000km
>>28886596That's about as bad as a VK45DE.
My sister in law just low side on her scoot with 0 gears thr other day, and end up with scaped kneeToday she just went out in the scooter with no gears againWomen just really built different
>>28886585but but I want z900rs more than xrs900
>>28886588No, he's not. The insurance company said the claim could take like 10 business days to process, so I probably won't get their lowball offer until late next week. It also wasn't in a garage, but a parking lot off the alley. An actual covered garage spot around here costs at least $225/month.
>>28886596>hornet 1000thats pretty absurd for a 4cylinder
>>28886632>>28886596Its a manufacturing defect, all of the early cb1000 engines are affected. Honda issued a recall to replace the engines in the future, but im stuck now with it, and dealer has no idea when will that happen. At least the dealer gave me free oil.Also,>loud buzzing clutch lever at 7k+ rpm, dealer cant fix>body plastic near the fork buzzing at low rpm, dealer just taped foam thereI dont know what to do with the clutch lever. If i hold it forward it kinda helps. Tightening or loosening the cable nut doesnt help.
Finally sold the Moto Guzzi, never buying western bikes again. No jap bikes either for that matter

How many km should I be careful about leaning when using new tires? I've heard they have some sort of slippery goo on it for the first x km

hey guys, theres a new thread and you arent posting in it. theres everything in there, all the links, the map, the prev, green words etc. can you please go there and post?? i did my best
>>28886091>makes sounds when I try to turn it overYou mean it's cranking like when you normally start it? Or it's too weak to crank the engine?
>>28885432>bright orange bikeSo a KTM bike then, I own a duke 200 v2 for daily work commute. Traffic is mad where I'm from, i drive on weekends and occasional mountain twisties ride during weekend evening with my duke, does feel like riding chocobos.
