well driving a car tends to be more stable and safer than a motorcycle, so that sounds reasonable. thanks for being honest.

am i the only one who finds fast cornering is easier on a motorcycle then. feels way more stable

A car should have a higher corner speed, unless you have a proper shit car

>>15256878
seriously though you can feel the rear wants to go and if you lift off it will lift off oversteer, also the steering gets very light whereas on a motorcycle everything feels more stable

Ikr? Theres this dude of recent memory who even though he was on a liter bike, I got stuck behind at the twisties on my 250. I'd overtake him were it not for that that on the straights he would accelerate just as fast as my 250 can.

Another thing is that the #06 pugs do handle well, even if they're built with kleenex

I drive a shitbox camry with all season tires and a dual sport with proper dual sport tires. Cornering feels way easier on the bike. On corners where 60mph seems to be pushing it with the car, I can cruise through at 60mph on the bike with plenty of room for error

ive got an aprilia rs 125 and a peugeot 206. i literally live in the touge and i hit it daily. i drag knee. icompare speeds and although im not much slower on the peugeot when pushing it it feels much more unstable and youve got to keep it in control way more than i do with the aprilia. what i wonder now is what would corner faster in the wet although you cant test that very safely in the streets. i run metzeler m7rrs on the aprilia and toyo proxes cf2s on the pug

I'm not saying I was fast. I wasn't fast. My mom wouldn't be scared riding around the corners at the speed this guy was limiting me to. He literally had a week's supply of chicken strips and leaned maybe ten degrees tops.

Easier?

nope.

20x more fulfilling?

yep.

Cars are honestly just fucking garbage to take down a twisty road next to a bike, maybe if you have a super nice car, and don't lean much on the bike you could be equal in satisfaction, but they require so much less input, give you 1/4 of the feedback and sensation of speed and they're so bloody fat.

You have a lot of space inbetween the lines on a motorcycle to move from left to right, to position and to cut "lines" instead of just following the road lines itself and you just don't have that option in cars.

>>15256900
my favourite stories are usually getting shit on by big bikes in the twisties, i got overtaken by a blue hayabusa ridden by a huge dude (6'5 + easy) once and he was dragging knee corner after corner with sparkies on.

Made my day.

>>15256923

>>15256923
>Cars are honestly just fucking garbage to take down a twisty road next to a bike

You just haven't driven a nice car then. I'll agree the average bike is 10x nicer on twisties than the average car, but it's still fun taking a car down twisties, and I've humiliated some pretty fast bikes on my locals. There's only so much you can do with snaking roads with crests on a bike.

>>15256928
that's because bikers don't want to race and get killed by some psychopath thinking he is tagumi

>>15256933

Well it was a friend chasing me on a CB1000R and he was definitely trying to keep up, and in all fairness once the road opened up he was straight past, but if the road is right, there's not much a bike can do.

For me? no. I've never gotten a head rush like I have when you take a set of corners perfectly on a motorcycle the same way in a car.

There is so much more commitment into each corner, just taking that one corner that gives you the willies 5 km/hr faster this time is amazing in a way I've never gotten from a car. It's horrifying, but when you pull it off you can almost feel the endorphins pumping into your brain. Doing a set of corners perfectly for the first time fast has literally taken my breath away once before.

Would a super duper fast and light car feel good too? sure. But ask me why I'm not surprised that so many F1 drivers like to ride too, they're all adrenaline junkies and motorcycles do it better than most.

>>15256956

They had a black one in the dealership. I didn't like it much because it was dirtied up after a test ride and overall because all black it's harder to make out the details.

>>15257088
Yeah, did you ride it yet?
I learned on an ER-6N which I thought is probably similiar, but the SV feels so much lighter, it's incredible.

But I wanna get a comfier seat, but I don't think there are aftermarket seats available yet.

>>15257101
isn't hulu free?

>>15257105
You don't buy aftermarket seats. You ask your friend to pad the original one and pay him with fine vodka

Yes I did ride it. It feels almost like my 250, but in a good way. I said it 21 times in this thread but I rode it right after the mt-07 and that shit was terrifying. Sounds better too.

I'm new to street motorcycling.

How does one gauge a turn and determine if you'll be able to make it? I feel a bit like a pussy taking turns because I feel like too much of a lean at a good speed will dump my ass to the pavement. Or I'll hit some broken glass or sand or gravel and wipe out. Is there a way to tell you will lose traction in a turn before you actually do?

I ride a DRZ400 now and I'm used to dirt but don't have a feel for asphalt.

Oh so that can be done, nice to know.
Just got my license today so I'm really still a complete noob at this.

I also considered the MT-07 but eventually went with the SV because I liked the styling more and a few people told me that V2 > I2.
>>15257121
I'm also still a beginner, but in my experience you can usually lean more than you think.
If you think you can't make the turn, give her just a leeeettle bit of gas and lean in some more.
Also, watch Twist of the Wrist 2 if you haven't already.

You get there bit by bit. Read up all you can but just take your time working up, that's how anyone who's anyone had to do it.

Don't expect to even really know what you're doing in the first year or two of riding on road.I'll let you in on a secret and that's that most motorcyclists have no idea what they're doing for the most part, me included.

>>15257166
>outside, inside, outside.

theoretically, outside, mid to inside and never actually apexing is the best way to go on road because if you plan your corner to finish tight then if you run wide you'll have room to do so.

That being said I don't often end out actually doing that...

I'm having trouble getting back to normal as I also developed a stomach problem due to all the pain relievers, it's difficult to eat. Hopefully next year I will attend!

>>15256936
>anecdotal evidence

i was in the market for a nice budget and learner friendly new 4-700cc bike 5+ years ago and there were none so i went vintage and haven't looked back

motocross is most fun on smaller bikes, especially when you're learning
2 stroke is bonus

>>15257970
The 300s aren't for americans, they don't make much sense. They just get sold too because why not. Something changed in europe-laws that's why suddenly everyone produces a 300cc bike. They didn't came up with that out of the blue.

Before 2013 the limit was 34hp (A2) and all the 250s met that. After 2013 the limit is now 48hp so of course everyone went and made a more powerful bike to sell new, aka the 300ccs.

And since the RC390 falls into the A2 category too now (44hp) it makes sense to compare it to other A2 starter bikes that fit the limit.

>>15258051

>>15258034
>ninja 500 and 650 didn't exist
>sv650 didn't exist
no

>>15258046
The 300s are barely more powerful than the 250s, and certainly aren't making 48hp.
The RC390 is comparable to a ninja 300 in that both have a name with a 3 in it. However the RC390 is significantly more powerful, and it has suspension, ergonomics, and engine all oriented at very sporty/race riding. The 300 is a cheap, upright learner bike with fairings to mimic supersports.

>>15258068
i agree, i used to love them when i was nobike and newbike then i became oldbike and better then them so i just stopped watching, more or less without prejudice

>>15258051
Generally they're all self-righteous cunts who take no responsibility for their actions and blame every problem on someone else. They blow their money away like children and beg for more from their viewers. Also clickbait thumbnails/titles.

>>15258076
they don't make 48hp but they are making more than 34hp and are in fact made for the A2 beginner market.
And since the RC390 now falls into the A2 beginner market it makes sense to compare them

>significantly more powerful
39hp vs 44hp lol

>>15258076
sorry, i forgot to mention aesthetics are extremely important to me

>>15258092
more like 34 vs 44. that's nearly a 30% increase in power

At least do some research before babbling bullshit

R3 - 42hp
Ninja 300 - 39hp
RC390 - 44hp

only honda falls behind with only 31hp.

Still, the KTM being the priciest and with an advantage of 90cc is only barely a second faster. So it's very well comparable to the others.

Is this a good first bike?

>>15258620
why tho? it literally reduces your stopping distance while at the same time prevents you doing sick skids into your alley at the end of your ride?

>>15258638
if you're rich enough that you won't be devastated the first time you drop it, yes

>>15258638
Yeah but you have to be a hipster to ride it

>>15256876
I've never driven a car so I've always wondered what it's like taking a corner in a car.

I feel like it would be terrifying due to the lack of input and the fact that you're a giant pigfat box so it's easier to crash into something.

That's a myth

>>15258642
to answer that question, i had been riding for 15 years when i got my license

>>15258653
you'd have to be REALLY retarded to drop a car in a corner

>>15258657
I learned on a friend's hornet 600 (carbed) and it was awesome. Never dropped, never got close to it.

Your friend is just retarded I think.

>>15258614
bane?

>>15258653
cars communicate to you just like a bike does.

>>15258638
Nope its heavy and underpowered for a 900cc bike. Basicly its just a novelty bike aimed towards hipstercuck and old british men.

You'll be fine m8. I've stalled in front of friends on grouprides before. We just laugh it off over some beer.

>tfw piece for bike was going to be delivered either today or tomorrow
>tfw looks like it's gonna be tomorrow
Atleast I have vidya.

>>15256923
How do you guys get over your fear of blind corners? I have no problems going knee down with clear visibility but last time I hit up the touge I did terribly because the entire thing was a maze of blind corners with sheer drops and trucks everywhere and I couldn't get over the fear of something drifting into my lane around the corner or getting distracted and going wide into a driver who can't see me until the last second.

>>15258677
where i live scooter licenses and 3 wheel licenses don't count for real bikes

>>15258668
i almost dropped a 300 when i didnt put the kickstand fully down, if it were 1lb heavier it would have hit the ground

>>15258676
k100 are heavy af.

>>15258677
can you not buy motorcycle because poorfag?

>>15258682
I'm pretty much suicidal so it just works for me.

>>15256885
I drag knee every corner that it's good for and no, cars have 4 wheels and 4 brakes.

>>15258677

They ride diferently. Just buy a ninja650 or sv650

>>15258642
I dropped the bike after turning my wheel to the left when I stopped for emergency braking practice.
Gave everyone a thumbs up and we were all laughing, we all had a good time and everyone passed except that one girl who kept stalling and putting her foot down on the cone weave
She also crashed into someone before the testing.

>>15258699
if you're dragging knee around corners youre pulling 1g if not slightly more. very few cars can pull that many gs.

>>15258682
>>15258689
i've tried to drive away with the kickstand down on multiple occasions

luckily it's always been on a honda bike with that little rubber foot that lets your bike roll away when you don't park it right

>>15258639
>prevents you doing sick skids into your alley at the end of your ride
Maybe some people are just this stupid but you have the option to turn it off.

should I get pic related as a first bike. Its summatime here and i wanted something 2 wheeled to ride around town

https://vimeo.com/164300262

does abs prevent handbrake turns?

>>15258707
what? you'd be pulling a coefficient of g but unless you're supporting the entire bike on your knee you wouldn't be pulling 1g

>>15258722
You can turn off, if you don't want it don't buy it.

>>15258686
well I still need to get my motorcycle endorsement for anything over 50cc, so it's gonna be some pussyshit scooter one way or another while I build my confidence.

>>15258697
pretty much. It's going to be my first ride, period. I wanna buy a full-on motorcycle but I just don't have the money right now but I /really/ need my own transportation. So I figured two birds with one stone, learn on a scooter and also haul my ass to work.

>>15258700
I wish I could get one but like I said above I need my own transportation within a few weeks, but could save up for a real bike to buy in about 6 months. In that time I could learn the basics of riding on two wheels on the road on a scooter

>>15258728
abs only takes place once a sensor sees a wheel going from spinning to not spinning in an abrupt manner.

>>15258724
>needs lights

that's a big job if you want it road legal

worth $800 tops

>>15258698
Just kill yourself already.

>>15258749
is it really a big job just to add lights? How about the speedometer, is that not hard at all?

>>15258659
Have you ever ridden a bike without ABS?
ABS takes away that last 20% of braking, i can use about 95% of my brakes before the wheel locks on most road surfaces yet if i had ABS i would only be able to use around 80% of my brakes, less on some road surfaces.

>>15258761
speedometer is more staightforward but you'll have to find parts

but the lights more so

does the charging system work? (probably not or it would have lights)

>>15258763
Thats not how abs works

No one cares how good you are, just because you're poor doesn't mean ABS isn't good.

Fucking hurts so much, I want to make my own delinquent bike one day. At least I'm not a Japanese manlet I guess. I really should scan some of my bosozoku bike magazines for dbt, some of the shit in them is hilarious.
