My 250 model actually went up to 2007, then it was updated to the 250r from 08-current.

I'd love to have a gpx 600, though I'd like my second to be a bit newer. I do really love the look of these bikes though.

>>14876423

Any other Brits here? Passed my module 1 today with 0 faults. It was pretty easy desu, just needed about 1hr on the big bike to get used to it.

Haven't got my module 2 booked yet but I'm guessing it'll be a lot harder. I really hate having angry little men shouting in my ear to slow down whenever I'm coming up to a corner, or if he sees another car.

My instructor has got me on a fucking 250kg Honda Shadow too, which is shit. Might go to another place.

any mod 2 advice? which shoulder do I give a lifesaver to when I'm taking 2nd exit off a roundabout? usually I look over my right because idiots sometimes switch lanes before exiting, but I think they expect to to check your left because of """cyclists"""".

How do other hungry Skeletons, kick-start bikes?

I'm 110lb and I feel like I can't get enough mass behind the lever the moment I get compression it stops or slows me.

>>14877102
what size is your bike? I had an old 100cc dirtbike I kickstarted easily when I was like 13 and 4'8

>>14877102
You basically stand up on the kickstarter, balancing the bike and yourself on one foot, then bounce up a little bit, fully extend your leg, then while still balancing yourself and the bike, bend your knee and lower your centre of gravity. When you get to about 90 degrees at your knee, push off the kickstarter like you're trying to jump as high as you can off it.

Even the hungriest skeleton can start pretty much any bike like this.

TL;DR don't just push down on the kickstarter, JUMP on it.

How often do you change the wheel on a roadbike?
And why would they be lighter? Not only do they need to take the same load as a double-sided one, they also need to withstand torsion.

engine braking is much more calm on ATVs, they can roll quite a while at normal idle. That bit of dragging doesn't do anything to it. You can't compare them to motorcycles

Question for you /dbt/ I have about 4,000 USD in cash saved up for a bike, and I'm not sure if I want to just look for a bike around that much, or use it as a down payment for a newer bike around 8,000 USD. I'm looking at either the Yamaha R1 or CBR1000 for the newer bike choices. I'm not so sure what I can find for 4k, I want something with a bit more power, I've been riding dirtbikes since I was little and this will be my 3rd street bike.

>>14877372
So what was the question?

>>14877358

I know /o/ and the internet hate everything, but why is there so much of it for small bikes?

>>14877387
New riders with little bikes are in no position to be a voice of authority on anything. The 300 rider in that screencap is a little twat for defending a shitty motovlogger who can't ride. It just makes him sound stupid.

>you can't judge people's cooking ability by how their meals turn out
>I'm a great chef, I've been making myself sandwiches for a week!

>>14877373
Shit sorry, TLDR, would it be better to get a loan for a newer bike, or try to get an older one with the 4k I have.

>>14877164
Welp, thats a nope.

I ended up dropping the fucker, at least I slowed its fall and didn't damage anything.

Right at the point of the stroke where it feels like firing it either stops me or slows enough even when I'm pushing as hard as I can and I went fucking ape on it.

how come all newish bikes make a squeaky sound from the engine (not the exhaust sound)?

>>14877417
Well, personally I'd go for maybe a post-classic, an older liter bike or something like that. I just couldn't handle having a brand new bike though, every little scratch and stone chip would hit me right in the feels.

I like having an older bike I don't have to be precious about. When I come off (with stunning regularity) all I'm worried about is my own ass, not saving the bike, and If I'm OK (so far, every time), then it's just funny.

But I can imagine there is something to be said for having the newest and the best shit, my PC is like that and it feels good man. But then a stick of RAM fails and it's like my whole world is ending until I figure out whats wrong. Closest analogy I can think of.

Yes, $1300/month. For a 21 year old unless your parents are rich bastards goodluck getting a fucking Bike in Ontario. Fuck you Quebec fags with your cheap insurance.

Deglove that bad with so much missing tissue. I wonder how many skin grafts it took, or if they called it a loss and amputated.
You know how it healed up?

Haven't actually had an issue with them amazingly enough. I think the people who reported issues were riding in like 34*C weather.

Don't even go there senpai. I know that one ain't a meme. MV has not let me down yet, though. Even the plastics held together really fucking well considering the crash. My one mirror snapped off though because it was fucked up and didn't fold in.

IIRC the webpage just said "remember to wear your riding boots" without any explanation. Try a reverse image search

>>14878067
what crash?

>>14878018
Just a matter of whatever's easier for you I guess. The only reason it got wet was because I forgot to put the visor down, usually it'll be dry no matter how hard it's raining.

So that's why we have new wheels, tires, etc. Also a coolant hose popped loose or something and all the coolant not in the lower radiators spilled out so I need to refill that. Other than that, the bike is fucking solid. Hell it started up no problem right after I crashed.

W@W the DBT chat is up to 12 ppl

>was that before the marchesinis?
Yes
>Also why did you continue to ride withotu a light?
I was away when it went out. It was working when I left. It burned out during the ride and I couldn't get it working again, so I figured I'd limp it home and replace it in the morning.

WELL I WENT TO TACO BELL AND SOME DUDE REVERSED INTO ME AND BROKE MY FUCKING FENDER AND TWISTED MY BARS OR FORKS A LITTLE BIT MAYBE. I JUST WANTED A QUESARITO.

MC22s were produced from 1990 so they should be 17 digits
