Do motorcycles have more soul than cars? I enjoy motorcycles but truth be told most bikes in the same class seem to feel very similar to me so they get kinda boring. But I am left not worrying about what bike to buy and more about the fun rides. Do other anons know what I mean or am I retarded
>>29145970>Do motorcycles have more soul than cars?Than modern cars yes because there's only a limited number of touch screens one can fit into a bike's dashboard.
>>29145970Absolutely but only bikes made before 2010. The new ones are soulless tech dribble designed by engineers who came from cars to bikes made for people who came from cars to bike.
>>29145997Australia has this
>>29145997Wow, I guess the VFR800F is soulless, thanks for letting us know.
>>29146030VTEC killed the VFR. I'm sure you haven't heard that before.Trading mid range for top end go sucked the soul from one of the greatest sports tourers.
>>29146034I grew up with the vtec versions being the new ones. They were always a halo bike/technology showcase, the crossover from 2v/4v sounds cool and has a a noticeable "hit" when riding it. Not that sorry to see the gears go but I am aware that my distaste for the sound of gear engine is abnormal.
If you've ever ridden a motorcycle, the answer is clear.
>>29145970I've bought and sold a lot of motorcycles and I've just never become attached with any of them.Cars for me are different. And really I just don't enjoy the idea of being a meat crayon some day or getting coloring books for christmas. People rely on me and I can't have that risk
>>29145970Just like cars, there are motorcycles with sovl and devoid of sovl. A modern piss twin upright commuter or a BMW old man sports tourer has no sovl. A thumping moto guzzi or Harley from the 70s or a screaming 90s technicolour sports bike on the other hand, they have plenty of sovl.
>>29146030Yes. Absolutely. >>29146034Lest you not forget the greatest VFR
Yes. It's funny too because everything auto enthusiast say they like in a car can be found in a 2026 motorcycle.>manual>lightweight>no ipad stapled to the dash>affordableBikes filters chickenshits. Who do you think image dumps in biker rekt threads? Cowards, and they know they're cowards.
>>29146577>manual>lightweight>no ipad stapled to the dash>affordableIronically "engineers" are trying their hardest to undo all of those nowadays.Bikes, specifically japshit already have automatic electronic clutches or are automatics, they're getting heavy as shit due to all the "tech", gauge clusters or gauges in general have been ditched for fancy lsd tft bullshit displays and because of all this, they're becoming really fucking expensive
>>29145970Based another dbt, not o/dbt/ javascript jeet faggotry, posting my favorite bakuon in another confirmed authentic organic daily bike thread, one where we dont need phishing links for some thirdie scamming retard to fleece newfags with!
>>29145970They do but if you live in a major metro area I found riding a motorcycle to be total ass. Basically asking to get killed by stacy in her 8000 pound Suburban
>>29146034Yeah, i regret not trying out a gear cams oneOdd weight distribution as well, i dropped my vfr at a standstill like 5 times total in owning it from the stupidest shit imaginable, never dropped my zx14r omce and its heavier but better weight distribution and lower to the groundIts too bad there isnt a bolt on rotax supercharger guy anymore, what a legend, RIP his website>>29146037Thats about all it was though, a meme, it felt dangerous in corners if you werent committed to a certain speed and revrange prior to the apex of the curve, always felt like that sudden bump transition would slip the rear tire traction for me when riding in a corner where i hit vtec revsSo i either gun it in every corner at 8k+ or risk not having the speed at 3-4k, was not enjoyable at all unless ringing it out everywhereWonder where anon was at with his vtec off switch and PCB, he stoped posting updates on his eletronik questline like 2 years ago
>>29146623Isn't the valve actual controlled by oil pressure in the lifters?
>>29146577>>affordableanon... I...
>>29145970Bikes and cars both can have soul, it's just many cars with soul got crushed into a cube a long time ago. You can still find nearly fully analog carbureted bikes that are sold new today
>>29146659Fireblade is the same cost as an accord Top of the line liter peters cost what cheap cars cost They're affordable
>>29146657Yeah, but youre activating v4 around 6300rpm
>>29145970Yes, motorcycles have far more soul. The culture around them is way more interesting and exciting, people have strong opinions about people they see riding, and there is a lot more style and personality to every rider. Nobody goes "whatever I don't care" about bikers, they're always like "oh yeah those things you'll die on" or "omg they are so cool!" In movies and shows they are portrayed uniquely.And most importantly, they are enjoyed more by lower wealth people. A $10-20,000 motorcycle owner is like the equivalent of a $250,000 car owner. Poorer = more soulful, all other things being equal.
>>29148266 I know multiple dumbasses from high school that either chose to run from police or ended up in a coma.Liter bikes and such do seem to attract a special breed of retard.
>>29146618This is why I bought a Royal Enfield.Then they added turn-by-turn navigation to the newer bikes. >WHAT are you doing? Your entire schtick is your bikes looking like they're 60 years old????>>29146659Bro my Enfield was $5000 used wtih 2,500 milesEven a modern econobox that lightly used is way more, let alone anything fun**I do really like my old shitbox car but it's not a fair comparison
>>29148341Us bikers call that a filter and only the basedest bikers can survive it>Sorry you got filtered kid, you couldn't handle the leaderboike
>>29148341this is why everyone thinks motorcycles are so dangerous, they make the stats look awfulof course motorcycle are always going to be more dangerous, so they attract risk takers and the low IQ more than normal peopleunlike other countries that filter these sorts out with extensive licensing and training and higher costs, in America every retard can pass the worlds easiest exam and then buy an r1Naturally, about 80% of these people yeet themselves off a cliff or into traffic in the first 1000 miles, so the per mile death rate in the USA is enormous, and I have to hear every one of my wife's idiot friends say when they see the bike in the driveway "oh i would never let my longhoused husband ride one of those, too dangerous"
>>29148341Based. Only a retard would call this a negative of motorcycle culture.
>>29148412One of my cousins had a Suzuki boulevard 650 and his bitch of a wife made him sell it after he dropped it once in a parking lot.They're divorced now and he's got an 89 vette 6spd
