Why do people spend upwards of $15,000 on a small hatch back

Why do people get a motorcycle when you can get a model rocket that goes 450mph in 2 seconds for $20

poorfags need a car and cannot afford car and bike.

It is the people spending 25-40k on a sporty car that are wrong. They should have a nice sport bike and a cheap hatchback.

>>14251308
you can't ride a model rocket while even a 250cc dirt bike will give a greater sensation of speed than any car short of a supercar

>>14251308
because you can't ride a model rocket unless you have 16 screws loose inside your brain case?

I am sure a model rocket you could ride would cost more than a ferrari anyway.

As someone who owns a motorcycle and a toyota I can agree.

Although my motorcycle is only an 01 zx6r it still hits 150 like a fucking champ. Only things that try to race me though are stanced honda civics.

I have however had a highway battle with a newer GTR, that shit was fun as fuck! I pulled on him at first but he flew by me shortly after which was kind of what I expected. We each gave each other thumbs up when he got off an exit, cool dude, looked like late 20's, had a dealer plate.

I've got a fund put away with close to 3 grand in it. Hope to sell my bike in a year or so and get another 3 grand while still saving and buy an R1.

Toyota for every day because fucking awesome reliability and a sport bike for all the fun! Plus cheap fucking insurance.

I'm 21 btw. Would never have it any different.

Ride on bike bros.

Why do you think they're so cheap, and every 3rd world country is filled with motorbikes?

>>14251351
>But motorcycles are for poor people anon
yes exactly

the difference is that with a motorcycle you won't be slow

Because bikes don't interest me.

>>14251351

You mean affordable for the average consumer and properly priced per their power displacement and age?

Then yes, yes they are.

Wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the Schott bike jackets. Pic related.

>>14253465
>no armor
are you some hipster fuck or something? get a real bike jacket.

Motorcycles are toys

>>14253456
I can't believe how much that rcv honda is.

>>14253503
Ok smarty pants. Like which one?

>>14253514
I wonder if they're actually selling any of these. It's a cool bike, but I just don't know what kind of person with $180k to burn would buy a bike like this.

>>14253526
literally anything with armor. jackets without armor are for hipsters. i can't recommend a specific one as that would depend on weather/temperature/season and even what type of bike you ride. let alone if you wish to spend a hundred or hundreds. head over to revzilla and do some reading. Personally, I like alpinestars, and do not like leather jackets.
>>14253538
They are sold out already. The type of people who buy these bikes don't have 180k to burn, they have millions to burn.

>>14251296
Because I can tune a $1000 car with $2000 worth of parts and get a vehicle that can beat 99% of normie cars off the line and keep up with low end sports cars

>>14253551
Good luck finding something that doesn't make you look like a spaceman.

I'd rather not be executed on the road by an old chinese woman.

>>14253557
So you in fact are a hipster. Good to know. Enjoy your meme jacket. I hope the road rash eats you alive.

>>14254629
anyone who doesn't have bags on their bike is a fair weather casual who doesn't venture more than an hour out of town. you have to be able to store the necessities at least. water, few tools, maybe rain gear or a warmer/cooler jacket.

>>14254627

The answer to your question OP, is people have become huge pussies terrified of any risk.

Also nice RF-1100. I had that EXACT same helmet last year, got the RF-1200 now. RF-1100 is way better.

They start sliding out at 25mph at 25° lean, it's absurd how bad they are in the rain. Nothing like almost losing the front when (very slowly) going around a 270° onramp in a light drizzle to wake you up. I've played around with tire pressures to find where they work best, and they're still terrible for the recent weather here.

Anyways, ripping these things off and putting Pilot Road 3's on soon I hope.

>>14254747
Thanks, will check it out next time I'm up for a helmet.

>>14254783
well shit thanks anon i'll be sure to never buy supercorsas. i don't think you should buy shitty street tires tho dude. while not my favorite, i have michelin pilot power 3s and they do okay in the rain. I never ride hard in the rain but I don't change my habits from normal. Is good in my book.

>>14254798
Yeah, I've been riding for a long time, do all the Twist of the Wrist stuff, know how to set up my suspension and tire pressures, and I still can't get these damn things to be tolerable in the rain. I'm sure they kick fucking ass on a track on a warm day, but I haven't had that chance yet.

I'm actually super depressed right now because it's gonna rain for the next two months straight because of El Niño. I'm hoping it will stop raining one Saturday and I can go change my tires out.

Pilot Road 3 is the best all around tire I've ever used (even better than the Pilot Road 4), so I'm gonna stick with them.

>>14254753
because he doesnt own a bike. The new V2 supercorsas are fine in the rain....very comparable to a dual compound tire.

Supercorsas are the stickiest street tires money can buy, they just suck in the rain.
