my shitbike at laguna seca last year. I'm considering bobbing it out. Someone told me that removing the front fender might make it handle like shit because the fender might act like a brace for the forks like on harleys. Is this true? If thats the case I'll probably strip more crap off it without removing the body work.

written test was a joke. skills test was "do 2 circles, and 2 figure 8s. if your feet touch the ground you fail".
it was ridiculous. louisiana.
also they put the wrong address on my license. no clue how he did that because it should have been the same as my previous ID. god willing, i can call them and have them mail me a fixed one. i'm going to blow my brains out if i have to take a day off work to go to the DMV.

Ina cute

I'm asking this again but which helmet should I buy for a first time beginner rider? something for daily riding
Also which brands are good and which ones I should avoid

>>29024384
That's easy. All protection gear including helmets rated for the EU is good, you buy only these. The brand does not matter as long as it fits nicely and you like the looks.

>>29024104
they bill insurance ridiculous prices because insurance ALWAYS negotiates the price down to like 50% of what the provider requests. self-pay would likely be billed 20-25% of that, with monthly payment plans. and you could probably ask for steeper discounts because if you dont pay them at all they sell the debt at 1% of the value for someone else to collect lol
>>29024106
i need to build up my skills first in order to be able to avoid cops when i do dumb shit like that. and i REALLY do not want to fall and hurt my arm. but yes thats the plan

>>29024388
What about prices? (in €)

>>29024395
Get tech air 5 plasma this time, also buy astars tech 7 boots. You are not allowed to get hurt anymore.

>>29024384
What's your budget and what is your head shape? Is your head longer front to back? Is it round? If you are stacked, get Arai or Shoei. If you are poor, get HJC, LS2 or KYT. Anyway, look for ECE 22.06 rating, double d ring and the helmet should fit right. No hot spots, also it should fit snug. Do not buy helmet that doesn't fit.

>>29024395
Same reason why body work on cars is so expensive. Insurance pays for it 90% of the time.
Feels good having a job that provides blue cross ppo with zero premium, zero copays, and $1 prescriptions.

>>29024384
You buy the one that fits and is comfortable, retard. Gotta go to Cycle Queer and try some on.

>>29024408
Thanks forthe recommendations
I have a big head and on a budget (first bike + gear)

>>29023930
Sorry your friend simulator isnt up to snuff, nobike. You should still kys.

>>29024411
Head size is fine, you need head shape. I have a long oval head and lot of brands are loose at cheeks for me. Only LS2 fits. Arai makes for different head shapes. I wanted KYT or HJC, neither of those fit me.

KYT, HJC = intermediate oval
LS2 = Long oval.

Most helmet brands are intermediate oval because that's the shape of most people's heads.

>>29024411
Big head is fine, they make helmets in S, M, L, XL, XXL, XXXL and many more sizes.

e-scooting experience report after a few days:
- range is not an issue, my butt gets sore sooner than the battery gets empty
- I'm always first from the stoplights
- I feel fresh after the ride
- my lower body stays dry in the rain
- this thing delivers FUN
- this thing tempts me to ride in sneakers and shorts
- I now notice how much bikes stink when I stop next to one at a traffic light
- I notice how much tarmac STINKS after the rain
- old men keep harassing me with "Wow, this thing is so unusual, is it electric? What's the range?"
Also, I didn't expect the croozing position to be that comfortable on bumpy roads. BMW made the suspension that lets you feel every crack, every seam on the road surface, but at the same time it swallows shocks instead of transferring them to my spine. Neat, can stretch my legs and relax.

If it's true that power of the H2 will drop from 231 to 200 hp because of emission standards, won't it be kinda pointless? This bike was all about being faster than more sensible literbikes like ZX-10R so if it's not, why not just buy a ZX-10R, Fireblade or whatever?

>>29024455
Midrange is important too. Kawasaki have never chased peak HP which is why the the ZH2 makes 197 supercharged hp when Ducati & BMW are over 200 NA.
My only concern is that the ZH2 motor is less tunable than the H2 due to being a higher compression and less boosty build, making it much more expensive to get gains. If American motorvloggers can't flash tune +100hp in one vid it could be dead.

Okay Guys, my Hayabusa has a engine failure. Main bearings are shot and probably some more.
It's more or less a economic disaster if i get it fixed at a mechanic and i am (not yet) comfortable and capable of rebuilding an engine by myself.

Hear me out, what if.
i take the busa into my office and use it as homeoffice chair?
Taking work video calls while sitting on a Hayabusa sounds as legendary as the busa is.
1 to 10, best idea to full on psychopath whats your take on it?

>>29024475
Engine swap, there should be plenty of crashed busas to swap an engine from. If you can't afford to do that, sell what is left of the bike and take the L. Don't let it sit for too long, its not going to be worth shit.

How scary are literbikes compared to cars that are usually considered scary, such as Viper or Porsche 930 turbo?

>>29024503
More so

>>29024503
I think liter bikes are safer than 600-750cc sport bikes. Two reasons:
- they pull much better on low RPM making you opening less throttle
- they generally feel intimidating and make the rider not scared but respecting the power a lot more than a 600cc which is getting full throttled at each teaffic light

>>29024517
Damn is it really this easy to get up and walk away from a 100mph literbike crash?

Are Arlen Ness jackets any good? The leather ones specifically

>>29024503
Closer to Viper than 930 turbo, the power is predictable and immediate. After about a month it starts to feel normal, the warp zone blur effect stops happening, that's when you realize how scary having such power can be, when it stops being scary is when that power is irresponsibly abused, that's the scary part
>>29024514
This is also true, 600s have no balls down low which makes a rider chase RPMs for power and that on/off nature of a 600 is in some ways more dangerous

Also, Viper and 930 turbo are quite slow compared to leaderbikes, R1 for example does 0-60 in 2.5s, 0-100 in 5s.

Yup. Smog shit goes right into the air box forcing oil/unburnt fuel into the combustion chamber.

Right now the bike in question got completely capped off by the previous owner. Meaning there is no crank case ventilation besides the smog line into the intake. The result: Burning oil like a motherfucker because the path of least resistance is the combustion chamber thru the intake. Not good!

When you have an airbag and proper leathers, arebt highsiding onto your knees or some weird shit, and dont have a machine clobbering you afterward, then yes track day has its safety parameters where if you meet the bar of crash enthusiasm and its expectations; you too can walk away with balls of steel and -10million racebike

Riding in the streets becomes more dangerous the instant you have 2 whols on public roads
Racing 250kph+ on a trqck is arguably safer, granted youre not a moron and or a nooblette on the isle of man etc.

I looked it up and all photos are showing just big green hills (picrel at the top). It's totally different vibe compared to rocky sheer cliff of Alps (picrel at the bottom).

There's no words on my Juoiter, that's the Ural or at least one of them.
Also has "Not a step back" on the other side.
It's the kind of mentality you need with these bikes and I don't mean you get shot by someone when it breaks down.
More like a "press forwards and never give up" type of mentality.

>>29024201
I ended up renting one of these on vacation a while back because the mt09 I wanted was already booked. I thought it was a great bike. Very easy to get along with and a lot of fun to drive in the mountains, has everything you need out of the box, and the build quality seemed decent. It’s basically an upgraded mt07.
I think if you actually take lessons before buying one it should be ok as a first bike. If not, I’d probably get a cheaper and lower power second hand bike first.

Called meat hook levers. Some old BMWs did those too along with some old brit bikes I think, they look fancy and are actually kinda nice to use, but they have a tendency of grinding themselves apart and being really finicky about cables.
The main issue is that you can't really adjust the cables from the lever end at all.

>>29024455
The H2R was always the real unlocked record holding bike. The H2 is for people that needed a plated bike. Or they want that sweet blow off valve sound. But the naturally aspirated bikes have been catching up to the H2 for awhile now. The new RSV4 is a monster. I hear the RSV4 making 220+ at the wheel with mods.

>>29024455
>why not just buy a ZX-10R, Fireblade or whatever?
the benefits of a boosted bike with the same ratios as a naturally aspirated liter is you can just start off in 6th and you never have to shift. Its about as close as you can get to a e-bike without going full cocksucking no range no top end faggot.

I'm wondering if the build quality is solid. They seem to be quite well priced for a beginner bike, but I'm allergic to cheap plastic shit. Also they are made in India which I'm not sure I like, reminds of KTM issues.

>>29024838
>you wouldnt get it
Can't be proud of crappy copy of a German motorcycle, each part of the clone is badly manufactured and is either leaking or simply broken. And can't live as a russian swine in Finland realizing how inferior your country of origin is and how small the soviet inheritance is, so need at least some form of validation. Even some russian text from a 'red terror' law text would do.

I get it, why

I have no idea what the fuck this post is even trying to say. I live in America though and 250cc-400cc is usually what people start with otherwise you usually cannot even drive on the highway. There isn't really a driving school (in my state) there is a rider course you can take and all that does is make it so you don't have to wait to get your license and it's 2 weekend classes for like 2 hours total lol. After that you can literally ride whatever you want.

Are there any fun 50cc scooters for a beginner? Speed limit is 40mph here and I’d just be using it for 2 mile grocery runs.

>>29025272
>it's 2 weekend classes for like 2 hours total
Can't give a reasonable beginner advise on this basis. At places where government cares about motorcyclist deaths they conduct researches and define what are good beginner bikes on that basis. If you are a teenager you buy 125cc max, if you are a high-schooler you buy around 500cc (based on power, not displacement, but it's around this), if you are an adult you buy 650-700cc as your first bike. Apart from that a sportbike made for track is always a bad bike for street use and is simply laughable.

>>29025286
>>29025285
So here it’s 50cc for mopeds (highschoolers and grannies mostly) but they just upped the limit to 125cc if it’s HP limited to like 5 HP.

You think R3 is a track bike? You are the retard.

Today an accident happened right before my eyes. If could've been easily prevented. One guy was going too fast and the other guy was trying to make a turn in the middle of the road. neither of them were wearing helmets and one guy had his head split open and the other one was bleeding from his ear. I rushed to lift him to side of the road and I lifted his bike and pushed it to the side of the road. They were alive, but they looked like zombies post accident, I left soon after.

Brehs for the love of god please wear your helmets. This is the second motorcycle accident this year that I had to go help. Take care bros.

Had to order it separate from Yoshimura, I'm glad they had it in stock. The Titanium At2 has a special baffle, and from what I can find its the quietest. More than likely to pass tech at strict race tracks. It sounds really nice with the baffle though. Has a nice brap when I blip the throttle.

But the without the baffle I can feel the thumping in my chest. It sounds awesome if I want to piss my neighbors off and make my tinnitus worse.

I don't have audio equipment that will do it justice. With out the baffle it legitimately give most Harley pipes a run for its money. Like how the fuck did Yamaha make a P-Twin sound so good.

Put your phone in your pocket and record them go for a rip. Make sure to blast through 1-3 and do some downshifts. Like take it to redline.
