for some reason the 60 seems more awesome.
Maybe it is nostalgic bias.

I'm a bike noob, don't even have the license yet, but thats the goal for the summer.

Locally, there's an 1984 Honda Shadow vt500 for 1,200, and a 1987 Honda Shadow 1100 for 2,200.

Which should I take a 2nd look at/purchase?

>>15067560
probably the 1100, vt500 is really under powered.

>>15067513

it's a cruiser, that 1100 cc's doesn't amount to much power and certainly not much speed when it's pushing that heavy bike around.

I wouldn't get either really but if you want to get out and riding now I suppose that's understandable, I think waiting for the exact right bike is worth a months or so though.

>>15067573
It might be a bit heavy.

>>15067573
No, a cruiser 1000cc vtwin wil be slow and shit compared to a sports bike 1000cc v-twin

>>15067573
Honestly?
i think cruisers are for old men with broken backs from riding too many sport bikes, not beginners.

Reposting my blog from yesterday since I put it in a dead thread

Was gonna make a long post about how I'm looking forward to buying a cbr later this month with money I don't have but then suddenly I got express translation gigs and had to work for 4 more hours after a 9 hour shift at my day job. Perhaps I'll slave my way into buying this thing without begging extended family for loans.

Looks like it's gon b pic related, a 250 after all. The noob guide says 250's aren't so good on highways, but I read this one gets 170kmh max, more than enough for the highway. Is there anything I'm missing?

On that note, classified says it "fell off the stand once, minor cosmetic damage". Is there any way at all to verify this is true and it was not say crashed hardcore? I know very little about anything, and my strategy so far is to be 100% real with the seller and ask him if some undisclosed fault will kill me and guarantee him a lifetime of haunting.

Any advice sans barrel roll appreciated

I doubt you'd be able to get more than 150km/h out of one of those, and that's without taking into account wind, hills etc.

When they say they're bad on the highway it's moreso that you're wringing the engine out to do more than 70mph which gets old after a while.

It might be able to do highway speeds, but whether or not it does it comfortably is a different thing.

Plus single cylinder engines vibrate a lot, which will be annoying on long trips.

Look for any scratches and have a squiz at the length, depth and direction of them. The longer/deeper the scratch/mark, the faster the bike would have have to hit the ground to inflict.

"The "get-out-of-jail-free card" that Goose gives the triker was an on-set joke. Because of the limited budget, the biker gang was an actual biker gang (the Vigilantes), and they had to ride to the set each day in-costume; often with their prop weapons displayed. Since the production company expected them to be pulled over by the local police, each was given a letter explaining the film's peculiar requirements, and asking for law-enforcement's understanding and cooperation."

>>15068102
its more than likely that because suzuki used ball bearings instead of tapered rollers in the headset on the vstrom for whatever reason, which gives them too much freeplay and makes this a common issue. any scalloping on the tires will exacerbate the issue as well

>>15068098
bikes really arent supposed to shake ever, its indicative of something being out of place somewhere, and on these ones it can be amplified by the addition of a topcase

>>15068092
Notice it does it when it approaches 4k rpm.

That due to the shitty clutch basket.

That's discouraging, my info was based on a blurry youtube video where you don't see the road. Conservative estimates now seem to be around 130 which sucks. I'd like to buy a bike that would last me, so perhaps I should take a second look at the pic related CBR 600F? My concern is that it's a bad first bike (?), though in bike school I'm riding a SV650.

honestly, a 250 is just laughable, especially when you have had riding education to the extent that you get the big motorcycle license. Of course, bikes with more power will cost more in insurance and tax, but you won't have to deal with buying a new bike after 6 months because you're already bored

I never know when the memes stop and the advice begins, but the total sum here seems to be "250's won't do highways the way I want them to" so I'll not get a 250. I do everything the other way around anyway, may as well start bikes with a bad beginner bike and perhaps acquire a smaller one in the next life.

Pic related is another contender for my suicide machine. About 4 or 5 bigger CBR's in my town for sale, gonna browse through the entries now. Thanks /dbt/, SEM soon.

>>15068621
spotted the seppo cunt
nothing else will ever be as fun to fang through slow speed areas as a 4cyl 250 and most of them top out at 180+ish, I've managed to get mine to indicated 170 on the highway and that was in a reasonable amount of time too.

The place was called Cuong's

most of the tourists here buy a bike (usually a chinese copy of the honda win) at one end of the country (Saigon or Hanoi) and ride it to the other end and sell it to another tourist. Cuong's mostly seemed to cater to round trips from Hanoi out to Mai Chau etc. on a Ural/Minsk or in an old military Jeep if that's more your thing.

Can definitely recommend it, haven't met a single person that hasn't loved it. I actually moved here a little while ago to teach English and haven't really gone far afield outside of Hanoi yet so can't comment much there but my experience so far has been amazing, shit is cheap and food is delicious

to be real, off the mark and in the low revs, the gearing combined with straight up more power at low RPMS makes the SV's throttle response a bit more brutal and unforgiving than a 600 imo, at low speed and at the first crack of the throttle for example.

It's true they don't go nearly as fast and you really don't have any chance of highsiding a 650 twin unless you have like 3x more ADHD than I do though.

>>15068919

I live in Michigan and Americans are all about the flip flop and wife beater thing on sport bikes. I ride a CB1000R and like to be not dead.

When I wear my boots and jacket full power ranger mode to ride to class (college) I stand out a bit. Fuck it and walk around power ranger mode or find a gym locker or sumn to rent? I wanna just wear the gear and be comfy riding my bike to school. This isn't weird right?

It's a Chinese company named Zongshen. They assemble their designs in different countries, in Belarus as M1NSK, in the USA as CSC.

It's a chinabike.

Haha! What made you pick the Nuovo?

Fair enough. I missed the 300cc bit, that sounds pretty miserable once you load it up. I find the Twin slightly underpowered.

>>15068980
interesting, that was what i was expecting

>>15068970
No it's not weird wanting to be safe when riding your bike. If your not comfy in your bike gear during class then get a locker. Some people might think you're wearing it for attention or whatever but fuck them. As long as you're not going around "Yeah, see my leathers? I ride fast bikes." etc. nobody is going to give a shit.

Literally never sat on a powered two wheeled vehicle before Vietnam. Had no idea what I was doing.

Who gives a shit seriously, the only concern about wearing gear after a ride is if it's hot as balls then it gets annoying. Fuck what other people think.

Besides it wont stand out, unless you're wearing a 90's yellow/green/orange rothmans suit.

gear like that? nahh

I think I'd stick out a bit squeaking into a lecture in this though.

Wish it was socially acceptable though, would love to get right out of class then go hit the tweests immediately.

This is literally my biggest dream, exploring abandoned shit by motorcycle

It's not as if you're at work. Wear what the hell you fell like.
