Why did this happen? I've only ever ridden nakeds, adventure bikes and sports/sports tourers and none of them behaved like this when hitting a speed bump fast enough to get air.

Is it a risk with all cruisers or just Harleys and their ilk?

>>17654453
Yeah I hate bikes working like they're supposed to, too

>>17654454
It's just a huge speedbump, front end was going down while the rear was hitting it and he was going way too fast. Has nothing to do with the type of bike

>>17654442
just practice, my dude.

>>17654459
I'll have to be more careful, I actively try to hit speed bumps fast because it's so much fun.

>>17654470
Some are way too big for their own good. I bottom out the suspension in my work car if I hit some at the speed limit. Have to slow down to 10 km/h in a 30 to go over them and not get air.

>>17654453
people who say this don't know what soul is and think it's exclusive to grumpy carbed shit and italian electronics that only work when the stars align

the most soulful bike I have ever had the pleasure of riding, out of several ducatis and a 73 harley, was a VFR750.

Ordered new front tire, doesn't come in til next week.
Planing on making a plan to fix some other things. But I have to prioritize my money, so it's going to be very slow goings. Half my money is bills, another quarter is food and gas. Try to keep some for savings, so I'm working with a fraction of each paycheck for bike stuff.

>>17654555
It's more often and more expensive but nothing insane. We do everything but the major stuff ourselves.

Nah, he realizes it's popular among girls but doesn't really care. Just wanted something light with decent power and looked nice.

What do you guys think of the Yamaha XT600E? the 89 was my first bike, but after it got stolen I picked up a 92, which I'm still working on getting running. Fuel tank is all rusty and has holes through it, any cheap ideas as to where to get a plastic one/making one out of HDPE?

>>17654590
whats there to say? looks like every other old dirtbike

>>17654594
Was thinking maybe you guys had more insight into it than I do. Reliability/maintenance, upgrades?

I didn't get to enjoy my previous one much, maybe 2000 miles on the previous one, and haven't ridden this for a mile yet, so I don't have any experience to say more about it.

>>17654589
Wish I had a cute twink roomate.
Would totally make him ride with me, then on me.
All I get is regular gay guy roomate.

>>17654603
Don't know anything about that one in particular, but it looks like your average dirtbike, so I'd figure it'd be the same for reliability and maintenance as any other. Which is good and decently cheap, respectively.

>>17654549
thank god he didn't get the termignoni. ugliest aftermarket there is for that bike but so many people have them because they're endorsed by ducati or whatever.

they're also like 70% more expensive than the other ones

>>17654932

>>17654939
It'll probably handle like shit with those outdated square tires and generally being kinda pigfat, so beware.

>>17654939
Yeap im going on the weekend to check it out the bike is full stock and the sound is kinda putting me off but all I want to do is relive my oldschool R1 wheelie days

>>17654900
It totally does which worked out great. it was kind of a rare deal since the seller also sold me an 82' 750F as a parts bike, so I pretty much got two bikes for the price of one.

>>17654903
>anything less than kevlar jeans, leather jacket

>>17654973
from my short googling it seems to have similar abrasion resistance to kevlar and better than fashion leather.

Hello naked friend

>>17655000
Thanks man! I'm excited but I think it would be in my best interest to learn without the side car so I might just get the parts bike running first to learn there. That Sidecar bike is like built around being just that. The front wheel was brought closer, all the tires are flat instead of rounded, etc. all the parts bike needs is to have its motor that was taken out out back in. Which I also received.

>>17655067

Royal enfields are bags of shit, honestly. Cost is way too high for what you get.

>>17655094
I was actually thinking of buying that but I talked myself out of it cause I won't be able to afford insurance on 2 bikes. Anways, it is an original husky not a ktm/husky so I don't know what part availability would be like. Is this gonna be like your only bike or just to use for trail riding and stuff on weekends

>>17655145
parts don't seem to bad to find, just that they are all from the states. i wanna be a hooligan on the streets and be able to just ride to the trails.

it seems like it would hold value well because of being a rare street legal 2 stroke

The 2017 peaks at 12k rpm I think. I also think the 90s version was in I4 and the 2017 isn't. Plus it's 2 HP weaker and ~6.4 Nm less peak torque.

Having never rode either who knows maybe the 2017 balls just as hard but I suspect it does not quite live up to its predecessors.

It is a fucking sexy bike I will give it that, and I'm sure it's still a blast to ride.

Depends how used to riding in the rain you are. If you've never done it before and don't know how adding fear ontop of that will just make it more dangerous and unpleasant. Especially if you don't have rain gear, forget it if you dont. You'll get chilled and hypothermia. I rode on the highway at 40mph in a storm for a few hours and when I took off my pants my dick was 1inch and pale white. I'm sure all my sperm froze to death that night. Hypothermia is serious, it impairs your brain function just like alcohol. You don't realize it until it's too late. Go by car if you must but frankly I'd reschedule if I were you.

I bet a girl couldn't even use two hands to jerk you off if she wanted to. So stop projecting kiddo unless youre gonna post a timestamp with your social security card next to it. Say that to my face not-online kid.

Frankly what bothers me most about riding in the rain is the special attention I have to pay. And I have to check on that chain after every time.

Probably part of it. I'm very peaceful and happy when I'm stoned. Unless it's K2, which I got paranoid and aggressive on and pulled a knife on some drug dealer. Afterwards I got lost walking in a circle around the town and when my psychosis reached maximum I took off all my clothes and Harley Davidson(tm) boots and walked around in the street riding an invisible motorcycle doing wheelies. At the end the cops found me screaming and sobbing infront of someones house thinking I killed 19 people and took me to the hospital where I shit myself five times while lying on the bed and the staff decided to fuck with me by telling me there weren't any clean sheets or diapers left. They also sent me home barefoot and still high and I had to walk a couple hours until me feet were bleeding.

Buy a sport-standard or a naked standard and enjoy all of that. And you won't be able to outgrow something like a Suzuki SV650 or a Kawasaki Ninja 650. No reason to go full supersport.

>>17656619
>And you won't be able to outgrow something like a Suzuki SV650

Sadly yes, in a street setting at least.
But still an amazing bike that will bring you joy for years.

>>17656649
If a street setting means going WOT until you're used to it, and not enjoying those 90 degree corners to their fullest

>>17656647
>>17656649
No you won't. You'll never become faster than that bike is capable of, unless you're a professional. Nearly any 600-750 sport standard is more than capable of anything the average consumer will be capable of doing.
>>17656656
If one is just doing that, then they should just buy a V-max and do highway pulls until they realize that going straight fast is boring.

>>17656619
>you won't be able to outgrow something like a Suzuki SV650 or a Kawasaki Ninja 650
surely you jest

>>17656659
>Nearly any 600-750 sport standard is more than capable of anything the average consumer will be capable of doing.

Until you start to hit those low ass pegs, but at that point, you're doing trackdays.

>riding my uncles harley
>tac is just digital display
>no idea where the redline is
why did harley do this

>>17656675
HDs have a redline?

>>17656671
True. At that point you can shave off the lobes on the bottom of the pegs, or your could buy rearsets or adjustable rearset pegs if you're fawncy.
Or if you're scraping pegs at the track, buying a 600 supersport will do fine for most people. Most of those people will buy the liter anyway.

>>17656675
Indian has the same thing on the Scout, it's pretty retarded but it works because 90% of cruiser riders will never touch redline.

>>17656675
Because an HD has a rev limiter, just like every other bike.

>>17656688
If handling is the only thing that matters, why not just get an r3 and call it a day? Why even bother with the sv650 at all?

>>17656718
It would be nice to know where it is without opening up the owners manual or bouncing off of it..

>>17656729
https://youtu.be/GKDN3okg4ko
Why not?
It's nice to have a high amount of power on demand for highway use. But let's be fair, a 600 does that well enough. You'll have more pull than most everything except for modified cars and sports cars.

>>17656754
Just let people do what they want with their bikes. Too many people are busy telling other people how to ride or what to ride.

Fact is, a liter bike is faster than a 600. If somebody wants to go faster than a 600, then go right ahead.

>>17656767
Fact is though, the vast majority of people could just improve their skill on a mid size bike and get faster. Buying a liter won't make you faster if you aren't an advanced rider.

Minimalism is fucking dumb. Buy only what you need... oh your needs changed, buy again.
Being scared of your bike is dumber, except for 750cc+ riders who venture into the rain without traction control or rider modes.

The actual biggest criteria for buying a bike are your ability to perform and keep up with the maintenance/repairs and comfort. A bike's no good if it doesn't run, and really no good if you can't ride it for more than 30 minutes without stopping to pop your back, stretch your legs, and shake out your wrists.

Thought on Ninja 300?

I can get a 2013 one for 2500

meant to get 80 mpg

>>17656782
the vast majority of people, given a dry track, could improve their skill on literally any bike granted the lean angle isn't artificially limited by stupid placement of hard bits. you don't need a smaller bike or a bigger bike, you just need a bike and a safe place to ride the shit out of it.

>>17656788
it's okay if you can't afford gas and insurance but it's pretty slow, but still fast enough to fuck you over in 4 seconds going into a sharp corner

>>17656782
And if they just want to go fast not but not corner aggressively?

And they will be faster, I think you underestimate how quick modern liter bikes are compared to 600's, it's not even close. Every corner exit and straight they'll make up all the time they lost on the corner.

>>17656840
Yeah I was thinking of getting a 600 until I looked at craigslist and saw they were the same price as the liters. Got one of those instead and I'm super glad I did, wheelies all day and the power is just insane plus it has better suspension and brakes than a 600 would have.

Glad other people are scared of them; driving their price down.

>>17656856
It's scary if you get an older one without any rider aides. It's for pussies, but if you actually ride in the rain it makes sense to limit torque and have ABS all of a sudden.

The R3 and Ninja 300 are the best starter sport bikes, get whichever one you like the looks of more or the cheapest one you can get.

If it's not a licensing thing, you will want a bigger bike the next year but these bikes hold their value well enough.

>>17656925
Depends on the customers.

>>17656914
cool bike

>>17656925
Don't be such a closed minded ass.

>>17656919
Nah years ago I whiskey throttled into a lowside once and learned my lesson.

>>17656915

Got caught in some rain, when on got home I tossed the cover on it but it hasn't moved in 2 weeks. It's been 30°+ every day with rain and thunderstorms every afternoon.

>>17656949
It wouldn't rust if it had any oil on it

>>17656932
>>17656935
I'll check it out next week. If anything it'll give me an excuse to hop on the bike and ride out for an hour or two.

>>17656955
I went to one and it was a bunch of boomers on pristine adv bikes

>>17656955
I wish my area had bike culture. The only thing we have is gangs on harleys that will kick you over.

750 2008

>>17657004
At least its positive.
To many ass holes out there (like you)

>>17657004
>2008 too much
4k is 2012 money unless he did suspension work
Also ask him if he updated to the latest map

>>17657015
There's something so weird about 50 year old men riding vespas though

>>17657022
Not really though.
Different people enjoy different things.

>>17657017
Find me a cheaper dorsoduro then

WHAT

>>17657029
Where you at?

>>17657017
??? 4k is like the price of every other 2008 750

>>17657043
If they fixed it's problem It's fine
(Protip: they didn't)
Pre 2010 has awful fueling and no rider modes, you'll have to change them from under the seat

>>17657022
I saw a guy out on a full mod teir vespa a few weeks a go, he even had a who patch on his jacket

>>17657058
well bluebook value is 4.4k so doesn't seem very far off the mark.

No way you'd get a 2012 for 4k. Maybe pounds or euros but not $

We call that a drug dealer meet up.

>>17656911
If it's still in stretch spec and each link articulates without binding, then hit it with a steel brush to scrub off the rust, kerosene to clean, oil to lube.

>>17657065
>$
Oh nevermind
You're shit out of luck
I can advise you on technical stuff tho

>>17657069
there are regular drug dealer meets on a great road near me, kind of puts me off going in case they think I'm a nark.

>>17654454
Harley forks just snap sometimes, randomly. Chinese steel on an incredibly heavy burger bike is always going to be risky. But its worth the harratige.

>>17657109
They didn't snap though?

>>17655527
Your mom?

>>17657127
Again, owning a 750 made before 2010 is kinda stupid

>>17654950
u wot
The sound is half the reason I might pick an R1 over, say, an S1kR
>still probably would go with the bmw though

>>17656649
I've owned everything from liter bikes to dual sports. I can still have fun on an SV650. Depends on the person and what you like.

>>17657138
your kinda stupid

Negative, it is the robot face of a transformer and is objectively good looking.

Thoughts on RC390?

>>17656919
I rode my 2007 cbr1000rr for a few years, rain or shine.
Seriously not wrist fucking the throttle isn't hard. Improve yourself.

>>17657206
I puke every time I see that mess of a front. Fucking disgusting, and that's objective.

>>17657138
by what standard?

>>17657211
it's a ktm

>>17657211
Ugly front
