I bought one yesterday. 186cc big bore kit with an aftermarket exhaust that makes it sound like a 450cc 4-stroke dirt bike. It's loud as fuck and has a flashed ECU that lets max RPM go up to 12.5k and a 16 tooth front sprocket, motherfucker has crazy top end speed for weighing 213lbs.

I'm going to buy a new bike from a dealer. However, my budget is tight. How do I get them to waive the assembly fee and other bullshit fees?

What does it mean to negotiate on the Out the Door price? How do I do this?

>>17170932
You can't get them to waive fees

>>17170947
yes I can, I just don't know how

>>17170947
Yes you can lol
Don't tell me you're actually paying that shit

>>17170854

Because I love groms. It's insanely fun to ride, and already has just about every upgrade I would want in one.

>>17170955
Go ahead and try, autist
It won't happen unless you know people at the dealership

Do you guys ever ride at night? I just went for my first night ride and it was eerily comfy. My headlights performed a lot better than I thought they would.

I'll post it again in case someone has any input; How much do you guess I can get this down to? He updated the ad to say it runs very well instead of pretty well and dropped it $100 a couple days ago.

I listed it for $2,700 but I'd let you have it for $2,400 since you are one of the few non cancerous trips. The windscreen is electrically adjustable btw.

>>17171006
No idea about pricing, but it seems like a solid bike anon. Looks well cared for and the owner seems to know what they are talking about

>>17170979
>>17170960
I've literally never heard of them waiving it unless you know someone very well, they still have to pay their shop workers yanno?

You can try 1300 but it's already priced well.

>>17171152
Exactly

>>17171152
I just straight up told them I'm not paying their dealer fee, they said it was non negotiable, I started to leave, and then they stopped me and said they could waive it.

>>17171152
They make way more than their $300 fee or so in shop fees billed to the manufacturer under warranty when they sell you the bike with the package.

If it's used and comes with no warranty then it'll be almost impossible.

>>17171159
I understand. It's listed as $1500 near mint on KBB so it absolutely is a fair price. I just don't have the $300 at the moment, I'm currently in-between jobs and in possession of a 99 Cherokee that wont pass inspection but runs fine so I'm going to have to sell it.
>>17171146
I agree. The bike is gorgeius, I fell in love with it at first sight but I can't imagine the seller will let a near immaculate bike go to someone who's learning and may very well drop it for much less than asking.

>>17171186
Who knows, I might end up keeping it. I just haven't been having a lot of fun riding it compared to past bikes though.

I know this is a long shot but is the XT225 anon from houston in this thread perchance? Had a good ride with him last year and was wondering if you wanted to reconnect. Dunno if you still got my number but hit me up sometime, I need friends lel

This is DR650anon btw

>>17171227
There's no way in hell that bike is getting let go for 1k.
I'm hoping I can get around 600-700 for a jeep with 191k but without driver side airbag and horn missing without impact but I doubt it. Most I can get is $400 for scrap but I'd be get ripped off. Need enough for PPE and insurance (which will be cheaper, over 25 and military) as well so I doubt I'll have the money in time.

>>17171263

The 399 is just an excuse to have a modern Ducati that isn't a fucking Scrambler in a Japanese high school girl comic book (it is a custom one off in story anyways). But Ducati has been looking at moving into smaller bikes and if they are owned by an Indian company that already makes them they will sure as fuck make <400cc memebikes for poo in loos like KTM.

>>17171539
Ducati was making great steps in the right direction the past 10 years. Would be a shame to get poo'd in the loo.

>>17171509
It was a joke about pooinloos and small displacement bikes.

>>17171526
Sort of goes for flips as well if I'm honest, lots of uggo ones. Are you on the island or the lower mainland?

>>17171558
I grew up in the north, went to school on the island, and have lived in the lower mainland for the past couple years.

Kind of considering moving back to the island, it's super nice there and surprisingly a bit cheaper.

I dunno man, mine took the MSF course recently, got licensed, and bought her first bike. We did a good 4 day trip, and a month later she's bought her second bike. She's learning how to tear it down, clean, and sync the carbs by with my guidance and doing the work herself. She pitches in 50% the cost of any tools or supplies we buy, and pays 100% for her own bikes gear and parts.

You just have to find one that's interested in being capable and self sufficient in general and slowly get them into bikes. It'll take care of itself from there. We were together 4 years before she got into it.

Yeah california is a shitshow for supermotos, and sadly thats pretty much the only supermoto I would want because I commute too much on the highway and I want a fatter seat for my fat ass.

Also am not saving up my money very well. Just bought a nearly 400 dollar pair of gloves.

Made me get out of bed fag

I think I lurked the eve online general for about six months before subbing, so I'm uh, on schedule more or less

New rider with some questions.

How do I stop gripping the throttle with a deathgrip? I assume this is why my throttle control is so horrible. I always feel at slow speeds the bars are trying to get away from me so I grip the throttle like a barbell and very hard. Any training exercises I can do for this?

At slow speeds and puttering around small corners and such like a parking lot is it really bad to keep a foot down and continually fuck with the clutch?

Braking, do I want power going to the rear wheel still or do I pull the clutch? Seems counter productive to keep the engine attached to the rear wheel when trying to slow down but I've been told it keeps stability and the motor assists by slowing down with load

So I have been riding my CBR500R for a few years now, it is my first bike and I love it. I'm starting to look towards getting a new, bigger, bike. I definitely want a 600cc super. Was thinking of either an R6 or staying honda and getting a 600RR. overall which is the better buy? I know R6 outperforms, but I hear honda has better reliability and a better record when it comes to their motorsport division.

>>17172257
Go rev the engine while in neutral or with the clutch pulled. How long does it take for the engine to slow down without the inertia of the bike fighting to keep it spinning?

>How do I stop gripping the throttle with a deathgrip?
Stop being a scared ass bitch by learning how to ride properly and sit on the bike properly by gripping the tank with your knees to hold yourself in place instead of trying to hang on.

Just take the fucking course.

Whichever one feels better and/or has the best price for the condition of the bike. The objective differences between all the Japanese bikes in the class are pretty small so it's really about whatever makes you feel happy.

>>17172319
How long have you had yours? have you had and major mechanical issues, outside of fix it yourself? also whats the customization like for the R6, like exhaust options and bolt ons?

>>17172319
what year is that? do you enjoy riding it? i know they are good machines, but is it exciting? do you wish you would have bought a different bike instead?

Rarely will they have mechanical issues before 150,000km
the only maintenance on it would be the same as on any other bike (oil, oil filter, air filter, coolant)

I bought it in August 2016 and so far have about 5k miles on it. No issues as of yet though the valves are a little noisy. I've been told that Yamaha's in general have noisy valves so whatever. I have dropped the bike, fell into a pothole on the freeway a few months ago. Frame sliders saved me from hundreds of dollars worth of damage though I did crack the fairing under the seat. Cost me $200 for OEM replacement fairing from the dealer. Customization seems amazing, until this recent revision, the bike has been basically the same since 2008 and even the new one just has different styling and electronics. The frame and engine are still the same.

>>17172331
It's a 2016 and yeah, I fucking love riding it. I've owned a CBR600 F4i and a CBR929rr along with some cruisers and standards and my R6 has the been the comfiest bike by far.

As far as excitement goes, the bikes pretty tame below 6krpm. At 8k+ it screams and comes alive and it is absolutely magnificent. I find the engine and transmission to be smooth, the brakes powerful with plenty of feedback.

I actually traded my FJ-09 for this R6 and I don't regret it. I got out of touring and wanted something more aggressive and the R6 fits it perfectly.

>>17172345
The last question I mean more as like fender eliminators, exhaust, rear sets, levers, etc. not so much performance but comfort and aesthetic. My CBR almost nothing for it which is the main reason I would like a newer bike. Hard to make my CBR actually mine.

>>17172331
>is it exciting
I4s are the most boring engines unless you're above 8k

>>17172392
See I find that perfect. Highway or commuting I can stay at nice easy 4k-6k for max mpg's. When I hit the twisties, keep it at a cool 7k for instant power

>>17172396
Yeah if that's what you want it's a good fit. I personally got tired of having to rev it up to get some power after about a year.

>>17172406
I admit, it does sound like you're torturing the engine but that may just be autism

>>17172386
> My CBR almost nothing for it

literally hundreds of aftermarket options are available for all bikes, you just need to be less tarded and learn to look for them.

>>17172382
>engine and transmission to be smooth
I feel like my CBR shifts are clunky sometimes, you don't really get that with your R6?

>>17172413
They can get a bit clunky if I'm short shifting. I find the ideal rev range to shift is around 6k which makes them really smooth

Looked what most people used most on my bike on forums.
Currently on the second set and I'm getting disappointed. At around 10.000km the front tire starts having indents at certain points of the pattern, making highway riding less comfortable. Happened with both sets now. Still have about 10000km to think about the next set I'm buying. Maybe going more off road oriented.

>>17170776

>>17172257
>how do I stop deathgripping
>at slow speeds I feel the bars are trying to get away from me

Make a conscious note and token effort to ease up a bit when you notice it. Posture will help with the escaping bars; lean slightly into the acceleration so your upper body and head don't loll back that little bit when you start rolling. I'm not saying go full racing tuck just because you're rolling away from a stop sign but resist enough that you're not literally being pulled away from the bars.

>slow speeds, puttering around small corners

Work on your balancing, you should be able to stay upright down to sub 5mph even with your feet on the pegs. As for fucking with the clutch? Do what you need to do to maintain control and not stall.

>braking

You want to combine brakes and engine braking; it assists your deceleration and protects you by always being in an appropriate gear to do SOMETHING if shit hits the fan rather than having to fish for a suitable one in a time crunch, and it's better for your bike than riding the clutch forever or coasting in neutral down from highway speeds and shit. Downshift once you've slowed to lower in the RPM's; practice will tell you what works for you and at what level of assist you want from the engine. Downshift higher for more engine resistance from the next gear, downshift lower for less etc.

>>17172257
>Braking, do I want power going to the rear wheel still or do I pull the clutch? Seems counter productive to keep the engine attached to the rear wheel
The engine will help with breaking. Should you really be riding a bike if you don't know these things?

Never used one but this is my dream setup

>>17173314
Not worried about the travel worried about the loading and unloading alone. I ride a 929rr and it's heavy beast. When I bought it the 8 foot ramps we had were really difficult because they weren't arched so that the bottom fairing would scrape on the bed/ramp.

Reason I ask is I may have to do track days alone and I have a 1500 truck with a trailer hitch

>>17173334
Trailers are low, easy to load and unload (i heard they make ones you can deuce straight off of), and often come with high capacity ramps as part of the assembly.

>>17173328
But why a street bike?
Imo something like the Africa twin would be better for this.

>>17173341
I'm not looking to drop 500+ for a trailer I'll use probably 3 times a year

>>17173349
An africa twin is a globetrotter. Why would you need to carry a van? Just ride the thing everywhere.

A dirtbike would be the deal.

>>17173349
It's not a street bike, it's an old enduro. light dirtbike would be better but I'd get whatever is a good deal.

>Africa twin
god no, pigfat adventure bikes belong in the starbucks parking lots

Van gets you where you want to go where the roads aren't too bad, then unload the bike and take that out.

Do research first and check user reviews, find best tyre for money.

>>17170776

About 210-250 miles on a CBR500.

Anything is an enduro with enough effort

>>17173373

That bike is no more a cafe racer than it is an enduro bike. It's basically just a 'standard' bike, a commuter style maybe, it's definitely not a cafe racer. It COULD be made into a cafe racer, but a cafe racer that one is not.

>It's not a street bike, it's an old enduro. light dirtbike

It's not an enduro, it's a scrambler.

I mean it can do highways well but that's not what it's designed for.

its super comfy on all the rough shit that dirtbikes beat the piss out of you on too

>>17173544

Exactly, it can do highway just fine but it's just as good on road as it is off, it's just that few people actually use them for that, which is a real shame.
