If you run the numbers, police motorcyclists in the united states are in the range of four to six times safer than the average motorcyclist, per mile travelled
moto cops are highly conspicuous and highly trained, but otherwise do everything wrong to keep themselves safe
they frequently ride at high speeds, in dense traffic through which they weave, wearing subpar safety gear, and all this in situations of great stress and fatigue. they also ride through much more difficult weather conditions than the average recreational rider.
to me, this implies that almost all fatal motorcycle crashes are avoidable
if most crashes had as their genuine proximate cause cars failing to see or notice motorcycles, then you'd expect even the best, most conspicuous riders to have similar fatality rates to everyone else. but that's not the case.
>>

Trips went to this guy >>29043777
>>
>>29043776
This isn't a factor of safety but a factor of training and practice.
You are at your safest when you are the most practiced. You ride every day, through all conditions, you don't pussy out because of weather or traffic, and the gear you ride in is the same gear you've practiced in every day. They can't use the 'I'm tired' or 'It's hot' excuse, they have to be out there all of the time. So of course they're going to be safer than boomer dad who hasn't ridden his harley since the 60s but 'It's like riding a bike, nothing really changes' or zoomer squid who just got his first bike, a literbike, and wants to see how fast he can lane split. They have thousands of hours in that saddle and much like aircraft pilots, they have far lower incidents of accidents than their peers.
>>
>>29043783
>its a factor of training and practice
yeah thats what i said
>>
>>29043785
>to me, this implies that almost all fatal motorcycle crashes are avoidable

I don't think that's what that implies, though. They're theoretically avoidable if you have thousands of hours of practice to recognize how to not put yourself in situations where you're at risk, but who has that practice besides them?
>>
>>29043787
man, what do you think avoidable means?
getting hit by a meteor is not avoidable, theres nothing you can do to avoid getting hit by a meteor. completely out of your hands
theres something YOU can do to avoid dying in traffic. YOU can practice every day on your motorcycle. YOU can slow down. YOU can make yourself more conspicuous. average annual police mileage on motorcycles is abotu 12,000 miles per year. this isn't crazy mileage. we're not talking about an impossible amount of practice.
>>
You must deploy strategy, coordination, and discipline in order to load the dice effectively in your favor as much as possible. Police cops don't go down because they know there's no objective way to ride a motorcycle correctly, what they DO know is there IS objectively WRONG ways to ride one and so long as you don't do those objectively bad inputs/techniques. Then you'll be fine.

Also your eyes are a cheat code. If you can't use them correctly or have zoomer short form content algorithm brain then you need to either train them eyes or get ready to die

>>29043815
It's CFMOTO as much as people will say that they're all shit. They're the first and so far only ones that have not just established quality control but also a support network outside of China. Lifan is the second best, and while most people will stand by them having QC, they don't have a support network and most of their parts are not widely available, nor is aftermarket support like CFMOTO has.

>27MPH top speed

This seems to be targeted to urban riders in jurisdictions that count it as a 50cc scooters, so no license or insurance requirements.
It would work for me for my local trips, and commuting to the co-working space I use. If I started commuting to the actual office I would have to buy the second battery and it would double my commute time.
I'm looking for something with a 50 mile range at 40 MPH. That would satisfy my local riding easily. When I move to the desert I'll need a 50MPH top speed (at least) and I'll need to get there pretty quick if I don't want to get rear-ended.
Of course, once I'm in the desert I won't want a scooter, I'll want an electric dual-sporp of some sort.

A simple lifestyle sounds nice, but as someone who lived in italy (gricignano di aversa, caserta) for 4 years and knowing he's european there are some horridly expensive costs he is not saying. Also the rural american exchange:

if you are still mostly a cagie and only will take the bike every once in awhile then go ahead get any supercafesport or any dream bike and have fun with it the one time you take it out on your commute
but if you are going to live your life on 2 wheels no matter the wind and rains
then it still fine really but I rather get maxi at that point

aren't cruisers just worst at everything? Honest question, I've only started learning. From what I've seen on social media, they only seem to be around because of "tradition" and "aesthetics".

I get where you're coming from, but I have no references. this would be my first bike and the only bike I've ridden as an adult is the one in the driving school which is a Honda CB750 Hornet

>>29043986
it was a very dry joke on my part. Puch Maxis are the mopeds every kid and grandma used to ride when I was a kid. it's actually sad that they've become so rare, because they're pretty iconic
>>
>>29043987
Retards who actually know nothing say this
It's very trendy to hate on cruisers from people who have never ridden them
It's sublimated antiwhite sentiment, since the cruiser is associated with Harley and Harley is associated with white republican America
The simple pleasure of 130ftlb on tap just off idle, burbling down the interstate, is difficult to match.
>>
>>29043990
I've rode many of them, owned probably 20 mopeds over my life, they're great fun, the maxi is one of the worst imo though, single speed is really painful and the only way to accelerate fast is to slip the fuck out of the clutch which isn't a nice thing to be always doing
>>
>>29043994
I don't live in the us so the racial part doesn't mean anything to me. what are the acutal riding / practicality benefits they have compared to other bikes? I personally like the aesthetics, the vulcan S or ducati xdiavel are one of the best looking bikes in my (noob) eyes.
>>
>>29043987
They're just designed to be an easier and more comfortable ride. They're bad for sporting purposes because they're not designed for sporting purposes. They're easy to mount and dismount and comfortable to sit on. They are designed to cruise, not race.

A Tiger 660 would be a pretty awesome bike for everything. Put some small soft bags on it to carry your lunch (or just a backpack, you do you) and commute, and then you still have a bike that handles amazing and is fast enough for fun.
>>
>>29043998
also not from the US, but I guess cruisers are perfect for comfortably riding highways for long distances. built for american roads with a lot of nothing in a straight line
>>
>>29043998
I think those are both quite ugly. Certainly uglier than most Harleys and Indians.
The long wheelbase makes you stable.
The low rpm power delivery means the ride is smooth.
The high initial and then flat torque curve means the throttle responds similarly all the time.
The transmissions are usually tuned for satisfying tactile feedback.
They're low to the ground, so if you get stuck in traffic you have both feet firmly planted at a standstill.
The sound and vibration are just so for maximum enjoyment of rider and pillion.
In short, they're a pleasure to ride. For me, I was never so relaxed as I am now cruising down the road. There's something about a sportsbike that just makes you frenetic. It makes you want to go go go. Relax. Take a load off. Cruise.
>>
>>29043989
well do you drive a manual car?
inline 4 are like big single turbo sport car where you have no power at low chugging rpm
sure its fun to constantly shifting when driving trackday but would you enjoy doing so daily driving around the blocks in stop and go traffic?
same with bikes
the reason MT07 and SV650 are the premier modern beginner bikes these days because they all have linear powerband and its easy to ride, you just twist and it go no matter what rpm
but really i'm over blowing it
its not really all that bad and you can get used to it
not to mention the triples are somewhat between the twin and inline 4 so you get little of both end
if you like the looks of it, then it is a great bike
if you end up hating it? sell it and swap to some vtwin, 270twin or tplans later
you will never know if you will hate it or not until you try it

but out of your choices I would tell you to get z650 cause its japanese
get something that is reliable and easy to sell for first bike so its easy to swap

Nta and don't know about ameritard cruisers but air-cooled boxer BMWs are running cooler than other bikes engines and even cooler than next generation liquid-cool boxers.

thanks! that sounds actually something I'm looking for, from my research thus far I've seen that adv or touring bikes are supposed to be most comfortable, but I guess I'll consider cruisers as well.
>>
>>29044022
It just depends on what you're using it for. These are all bikes designed to handle longer riding days. The ADV bike is gonna be strictly worse if you keep it on pavement. The touring bike is going to be really heavy but it's great if you plan on spending hours at a time on the bike and want some really seamless storage. There's also a cost factor since your average cruiser is gonna be cheaper than the ADV or the touring bike.
Really, a touring bike is usually just a bigger cruiser with storage.

it sure is in the top 3 of the bikes I'm looking at. three of those (the z650rs, the tiger and the guzzi) are at the same dealership, so I'll just take a look at all of them at once, I guess.
I know I'm overcomplicating this decision and I'd probably be fine with either of those, but I don't think your first bike should be a throw-away bike that's just a stepping stone - it should make you want to use it and still have a purpose after the fire of 'I go on a ride just to go on a ride' is starting to burn out

and if anything outside of the big touring cruiser like street/road glide
most cruisers are actually shit at long commuting

Deciding on a bike, something in the 3-400lb range, under 500cc. Interested in mainly naked/standard bikes, or sumo/scrambler. The Honda 500 is kinda heavy, makes more sense to get that frame in a proper middleweight, the Kawasaki z400/500 is pretty appealing. All the bikes tho are selling near MSRP or 1k under which is retarded, I understand the dealer ads delivery and bs, but they also get warranty so the high pricing is a turn off for these models on the used market. Sumo anything is pretty inflated price or dual, so while fun those are probably out since mainly road riding. I have noticed the ktm duke 390/Husqvarna svartpilen is available pretty inexpensive used and even 24' svartpilen new/almost new in low 4s. Any reason not to get these used/basically new/new in the 3-4,500$ range? Not gonna be hondr reliability, but I think maybe I don't need a lifetime of reliability for an entry level bike. Thoughts?

I know a dude with one of those, 00' I think in all red with a silver frame. Surprisingly at 30k miles everything worked, but apparently there's a nasty issue with starter motors for those that can really chew up your bikes guts.

I've been hearing talk within motorsports community in the US and UK about how the cost of racing is ballooning to ridiculous highs. They are mostly pointing fingers at the orgs that allow homogenization of bikes that are hardly street legal. Then allowing teams to further mod the "production" bikes with highly specialized parts. Like custom swing arms. This concern is mostly around not growing the sport with new riders. There's also a growing concern with people doing timed runs on public roads.

TLDR; shits getting expensive and it's going to kill the sport.

There's a moment in the mornings on my commute to work. I finally hit 70 and turn my head to the sky. My sun visor is strong enough to tame the sun, so I look towards it and close my eyes. There's no risk on the straightaway so long as there aren't cars behind me. It's the only time I feel something like genuine spiritual communion, though I'm not sure with whom.

Someone I loved passed away last month. She didn't love me and may have even hated me. It feels wrong to mourn her as deeply as I do given no one contacted me. I figured it out through a feeling and an online obituary. That moment in the morning has now become a ritualistic apology to the hereafter for who I was.

Anyways, my bike has been in the shop for the last week.

I’m the tiger anon so I can tell you with certainty that a buddy of mine had an XR at 95,000km and it started, ran and sounded like a new bike.
Check for service records and major servicing intervals in the manual, and if everything was serviced on time you’re good to go.
P.S what’s the asking price?

The United States just doesn't seem to have a prominent road course racing culture. For a period of time, AMA motocross/supercross was a higher talent pool than Europe in the 2000s, but that time as passed.

I can see where they're coming from. List price for a Panigale V4 R is £37k in line with price cap. Some dealer has a fully loaded trackday spec one for sale at like £65k and that probably wouldn't even make it onto a Superstock grid. Imagine spending £80k to be competitive then binning it on dropped oil in Round 1 FP1.

At all points Hitler was right? I have my ss officer great uncles diaries and his descriptions of the

Describe the genocide as typhus and starvation.
Zyclon b was used as a delousing tool because jews are fucking filthy.
If the Germans wanted to kill jews they would have used sarin gas that is why so many holohoax survivors got gassed 3 times or more.

The what?
>>
>>29044877
Holohoax jews claim nazis gave them shotguns to point through walls that were a aimed back at them its in multiple holohoax diaries from the bolshevik jews in Russia.
And somehow everyone believes them.
Same people who claim they used Jewish bodies as fuel to burn jews in the furnaces..
The maths just doesnt add up, using modern crematoriums it would take decades to burn the amount of jews who were supposedly burned at Auschwitz and we are supposed to believe they used humans as fuel for the burning.

The Krauts actually asked to be Russian cocksleeves for years on purpose because they liked the taste of infected nut and were so inbred that they needed the mass rape to diversify their frail gene pool. I can't believe there's people.who believe the Germans didn't ask for it, I mean they were all in tattered skimpy clothes after the war so the math just doesn't math right if you wear loose clothing then you're obviously just asking for it and if you really think about it. It just makes sense why the Germans wanted big Russian seed so they can get stronger. My source? Well I used the power of AI to comb over all records and personal statements from every single German at the time and they all said the exactly same thing: "We wanted this" and I did some math, and the math says that it's not rape if they asked for it so therefore the Germans were never mass raped they just wanted to make superior babies with Russians. You'd have be a real dummy to believe otherwise, only that jew propaganda wants you to believe they got raped as a demoralization tactic uh huh. You guys can trust me for sure because nobody lies about real historically documented events or anything. Not even the Chinese with tienamen square!

pointed out checks completely here, bet that redditard uses the scooter only during weekends too. Solar indeed helps but its no miracle solution, besides a replacement is still gonna be as expensive or even more than just using a grid provided service.
Solar is just worth it when either your provider is absolute shit or you simply don't get the service, nothing else. Getting one for other reasons is basically posponing your current bill, which eventually will show up anyways when you need to do a replacement.

Unfortunately have some brake squeal in the rear tire, I might just take it to a shop, too lazy to clean it.
Think my front has some debris in it too, rotors have lines as well, front tire is also making a squeal at a specific point when rolling in neutral.

What are you on about, like a thumb brake? You don't even have a bike why do you need thumb brake

Cant you kickstart?
It should start even with dead battery from kickstart

Also if its a carbed scoot i can GURANTEE the fuel system has never been maintained and you should inspect the gas tank, swap fuel filter and clean carb
Can get on that while waiting for battery

Did honda make CBs under 50HP?
Seems like a good bike

not sure if i like the naked look that much, but i see you can get it as a tuned down 48HP variant

Under 2000 euro would be ideal

>>29045321
You know what I forgot to add throttle when starting it and had it at an uphill
Now I just hear an blip of VR instead of the constant VRRR so I probably actually killed the battery
Can I still save it by riding it downhill and trying to start?
Is there any way i can fuck up the engine?
>>
Something about seeing an expensive bike riding on a third world country doesn't seem right compared to seeing it on a first world country, in the videos I'm looking at rn
Just something in my thoughts

>>29045359
explain a bit more
What kind of scooter?
Does it not have a kickstart?
No you cannot pushstart a scooter if it has a CVT
Yes you need to clean the carburator if you need to twist the throttle to start it

But i already do?
I just need a rear hand brake, i asked simply is it cheaper to make one or buy a kit prebuilt and bolt on?
My main question with these kits is how the rear brake caliper and piston bold onto your existing rotor

I saw my fren drz400 with one and its nice but he done lots of other work arounds that free up alot of space on his too
>>
>>29045387
Check spark with the kickstarter. If it is like my Buddy 50 the sparkplug would not fire if the battery power was too low, but enough to spin the starter.
>>
It's impressive how the jump in style goes from a 300-500 to a 600cc bike, it really looks bigger and cooler
>>
>>29045339
The sv has fsired options which are halfway decent
Reminds me of the ugly latana though
Youre the chosen one: get thst tanto bolt on fairing kit and show dbt your chosen destiny by getting it and becomming OP pic years from the day you did it

Just kidding, the police stste jannids are assuming direct control, flock grid ai supercised mesh nanoswarms of dronebot jannies are going to rape and or asplode your ass and bike

Stay a nobike, much easier

On another note, if you have to be restricted than i say abandon all your gay littlw hopes and either get a dual sport for now, fuck it
>>29045342
And if 2k euro is your budget just grt a xt150 or something similar, youre not doing hiway speeds even with that budget i think only americas and thirdies have shitbox prices for shitbikes

At least in N.A. 2k budget can get you 90s to mid2000s leaderbikes miled out forks leakin and valves fubar- but if you can do that and carb clean then you have a good racebike base at least

I still feel like 4-5k no mattet where and which way is still the floor of a fucking halfway decent bike that isnt going to break down on your ass

id need to find some hane stickers for that
>>
>>29045387
btw if you bought a 2 stroke old scoot and didnt even try the kickstarter, you are in for a world of pain.
This thing will break down on you and it needs maintenance especially the carb
Id service the CVT too if it hasnt been done by the previous owners
Also check the airbox.
I had a used scooter where the previous owner didnt even put an airfilter in the airbox

Isnt the 650 a fundamentally detunes platform for touring or commuting?

Isnt the cbr600rr more in tune with what youre comparing?

That appears to be the A2 compliant CBR650R. Not a tourer in any way, I swear to God I want to fucking strangle the retard who keeps saying it is, but yeah, that imagine is bait or retarded.

Yeah i dont buy it despite marketing or shills
Its a detuned sportbike made into a learner bike with handicaps
They arent bad if you want a honda nake that is still i4 i guess thats their only middleweight displacement for the niche

But most people floating that idea will just get a 700cc+ piss twin regardless

I know that a 125cc is the best first bike for me, for my current skill, economical situation, and what I need it to do everyday.
Yet my stupid ass brain keeps thinking about buying a 600cc used bike for pennies, because 125cc will not make me look "cool", because it's a "kids" bike, because it's small and I'm big...
HOW do I fight this temptation?
>>
>>29045550
split the difference and get a 400
>>
>>29045550
whats wrong with cheap used 600cc?
Thats what im considering as first bike
>>
>>29045550
You'll be fine on a 600. A 125 is still a bike though. I loved my super cub. Got me everywhere for years. A 600 isn't so much faster than a 125 that you'd be in much more danger.
>>
>>29045550
>how
Test ride them dummy
The 600 will likely have less resale value but an easier time being sold due to squids etc
But the 125cc will likely have more resale value should you not want it, but less demand unless you live near college dorns and can sucjer some ttustfund yuppie into thinking he can pbtain a shoomerwife with one

Just get niether, dont get a bike, remain a nobike: the only winning move is not to play
Dont get a motorcycles
Bikes are for idiots; idiots make inpulsive rash decisions- like choosing a line for the bike there are no if ands or huts about them
The bike chooses you? Well sounds like it didnt and you havent watched bakuons or totw2

Fucking nobike, stay there; where you can be happy, never say you want to be a hasbike ever again to be; stay in the ignorant lane of bliss and never buy a bike
You dont want the feels that come after you own one, or how fast they go

Why are these your only options, they are completely different worlds
Scooters arent bikes, so everything i said pretty much applies to the 600

I look at those twist shifts and they always look so loose. Like every time I see them shift in video it looks like they are about to shift into the next gear by accident.
>>
>>29045550
I love my cub but man you probably want a use case for it first
Otherwise you better off getting 300-400cc at least
Do you live in SEA shithole city?
Are you riding it around farm?
Do you need something to hop couple blocks down the road or campus?
Outside of extreme rush hour lane splitting/filtering
Anything a 125 can do , a 400 probably could do it as well

I am scared of highway lesson bros
The last time I was on a highway was when I got in a high speed colission in my car a few years ago when I got rear ended
Apart from driving some company cars around locally I have not gone fast since
>>29045618
heh
Thats pretty funny
Yeah it should always start with the kick even if the battery is dead
I miss my 2 stroke scooter, it wouldnt start with the e starter at all I always had to kick it on
Starting on one kick is so satisfying
Dont worry too much, scooters are easy to work on
My one tip is, get a good fuel filter, dont get an aliexpress fuel filter I allready learned that the hard way
Hope you will have lots of fun with your bike, this was mine, it was in very poor condition but I still loved it
Its a relationship one doesnt forget

Going to be dabbling with a bit of tuning on my ZR-7; replacing the factory exhaust and putting on a +4 degree advanced ignition timing plate, airbox mod, K&N filter, the usual boy racer shit.

Either way, if i go for the cheaper A2 now and drive for two years i can upgrade to the full A practically no extra cost compared to going for A right away.
So same price in the end, but with 2 years of riding experience before getting the full A license.

You ate retarded, it's fully stock Honda bike on the left. Detuned A2 would be 48HP.
>>
>>29045686
I crosseyed the power/weight and total horsepower lines. My bad. The CBR650R is more of a street focused bike with more midrange focused cams and a longer stroke. The CBR600RR puts out like 120hp, so it still loses, which makes the GSXR magic.
