Is there anything more pathetic than the second hand used/pre-owned market for motorcycles? The amount of people that buy a bike (usually on a loan), put 2,000 miles on it, then try to sell it at the same price they bought it for on Craigslist absolutely blows my mind.

So I am forced to either buy 4 1x bottles or just 1 4x bottle. Shit pisses me off to no end.

It actually worked out in my favor since I did a clutch swap recently and lost a bit of oil from that. Just topped it off with what I had left and then dumped the remainder of the bottle into the ocean

FZ

fuck the 17kg, take newer bike with more power and better power/weight ratio.

>>15998228
Because it doesn't offer any superiorities over other liter bikes in that price segment, where as the 650 is by far the best bang for the buck in it's class

>>15998240

That would even be a downgrade from my current bike though lol

I don't know, what really appeals to me is that the Fazer has a half fairing AND a proper handlebar, I'm not really a fan of clip on bars.
But less weight and cheaper insurance on the SV is also a big factor

you won't notice the weight that much. but you will very much notice the power difference.

Do fairings make that much of a difference than riding on a naked bike?

Are nakeds better for commuting?

>>15998294
But I don't want to spend another couple of hundred euros just to buy and install another set of handlebars, that just seems silly if the alternative is a bike that already has that

>>15998302
>you cruise at 3-5k rpm innacity on a 600.
Just a question : will that affect the fuel consumption a lot, as opposed to now with my single cylinder bike cruising mostly at 3k rpms? Because fuel is not exactly cheap here, and a considerably higher fuel usage would also not be ideal for me and my wallet

is this fag bike groundhog day?

>>15998303

>Bike was also wired to stall when you leave the kickstand down!

This is literally stock functionality you dumb prick

>$2700

go fuck yourself. 13,000 miles? no mention of valve adjustments? and no one wants your used helmet fuckface

>>15998313
SV will be cheaper, also have you paid attention to the SV models? as they come with clip on or standard handlebars.

>>15998270
fyi the FZ is not a sportsbike, the engine is tuned to bit more down-low. Just because it's i4 doesn't mean you need to rev it at redline all the time.

>>15998312
much more noticeable at higher speeds. doesn't really matter if faired or not at low speeds.

>>15998313
SV and FZ6 have pretty much the same mileage, so nothing to worry about that. Depends on the displacement of your single-cylinder bike

>>15998312
Depends
>fairings
Will raise your top speed and make it slightly easier to cruise on the highway, but are easier to break, cost a lot and can total your bike in an accident
>commuting
A ninja 250 will be a better commuter than a streetfighter 848
What you need to research is

>>15998318
no. get fucked i'd reather take oxys trahn have pain.

>>15998329
so is it fucking horrible on the highway or manageable on a naked?

fuck u fags Im passimg pit

>>15998313
probz can't keep up with your single cylinder dirtbike but they're pretty low on gas both. no one has the advantage over the other.

>>15998313
>worrying about gas mileage

If that is an actual concern then just get a Ninja 250. It's the best combination of power/fuel efficiency/cost. Average is 65mpg stock and you can push 80mpg easily with the right gearing depending on your environment.

There is literally zero difference in terms of comfort/protection against wind on the highway with a standard sport bike versus a naked. Anyone that tells you that the dumb little factory windshield actually makes a difference is a lying retard. You really think pic related is going to do shit? It'll direct air either directly at your chest or even worse helmet

The only solution is a proper touring/tombstone windshield. The nuances of naked/faired bikes is all meaningless

It does if you are not a massively fat fuck who cannot crouch down behind it. You sound like someone with very little experience riding.

I have ridden 500+ mile days on naked bikes, standards, and sportbikes. Give me a sportbike for that any fucking day.
20+ years of riding.

>>15998320
Yeah, but here in Germany it only seems to be that the naked version has the bars and the s version has the clip ons, with the faired one largely outnumbering the n, at least on the used market

Slip ons usually do not replace or require the removal of the catalytic converter. Some do, but at that point you're pretty much approaching full exhaust territory versus just a slip on.

No after market exhaust is "street legal" when it comes to emissions. This is true in both the USA and Europe. It's not enforced very well in the USA. You can roll up to an inspection with a full Yoshi titanium headers racing exhaust and they wont give a shit.

It's basically just a can with a lot of the internal webbing/mesh removed so it's louder. Contrary to what you will read online, the fact is that if it's louder, it's because of increased airflow so you should really consider investing in some kind of tuning device to allow you to control air/fuel mixture.

>>15999006
Oh wait it recommends the SV650

But really, read it, and if you applied all that to cars with similar driving characteristics you would sound like a patronizing moron

1. Peaky I4 myth. There's a ninja 650, a large ptwin with a peaky powerband, and a horrible supersport GIXXER, with a very smooth, linear delivery. And here's a dyno chart for a super friendly beginner bike.
2. Lightswitch controls myth. Basically "i've ridden very few comparable motorcycles and they're all like the kawasucky i wasn't too poor for"
3. Are you kidding me m8? What bike actually rides like this? I test drove a friend's GSXR750 and it would go right, left, right, left, and swerve like it was designed to compete in gymkhana events. And it was actually very smooth, and did you what expected with the throttle and brakes. There was even a good margin of "wrist accident" tolerating error before it would really begin to build power.
4. This is pretty much true of all motorcycle brakes without ABS. If you apply them too quickly and haven't had low-speed parking lot practice, you'll lowside at the least.
Insurance bit: Three times as much a year? Compare it to car insurance. It's still cheap.
The old sportbike bit: They should be avoided, but because they might not come with user friendly features like ABS, fuel injection, tandem braking, fuel gauges, whatever. The same applies to old "learner bikes".

disclaimer
i'm not at all an experienced rider, but i've ridden an sv650, an er6n and i daily my Shiver

>large ptwin
have you ever tried rolling throttle on a ninja 650?
because i can tell you, for the first second or two you're left wondering if maybe your cable snapped

>lightswitch control
this is actually one of the main reasons i ended up with the shivvy
it has stock 320mms, braided lines and not!brembos
what on an sv or an er6 would be a reasonable stopping power, on the shivvy is easily an endo.

>gixxer 750
a favourite among riders,

> abs/combined braking
you don't _need_ them, you can easily learn to ride without them and if you end up needing them it means you keep getting yourself in situations where you exceeded your limits

also
>talks about ninja 650
>shows ninja 500 graph
and
>compares a 50hp beginner bike to a 120hp supersport because their dyno graph looks kinda the same

here's the deal, many beginner bikes are lacking BECAUSE as a beginner you should push your limits without being worried of flipping the bike
you can get better brakes and performance once you can hold your own on the Street


as an example, the er6 is very clearly a beginner bike
the sv also is very tame when restricted
a gsxr600 will be twitchy, unwieldy, uncomfortable and fast, very FAST

The ninja 500 graph was to illustrate the beginner bike meme

The 500's throttle response varies more than the 750, which is tame. Just twist it less.

because going slightly less fast still matters in traffic, where you quickly reach a point where crashing is guaranteed and speed only modulates the severity of your injuries.

>>15999236

It isn't though. Why the hell would anyone buy a 2011 GSX-R when it's no different from every other generation?

>>15999255
It's about what bike you buy, not what class of bike you buy. That is for broad yurolaws that treat smelly refugees and well bathed aryans equally.

And also about your natural skill level. Only you can know this, usually by taking an MSF course. If you can't do a U turn without hammering on the throttle, consider a 125cc cruiser. Otherwise, you will be fine starting on a used gsxr with pre-existing fairing damage.

How do I get over the fear of accidentally doing a power wheelie while going full throttle? My bike is only a 600 and I've never gone WOT in first but mainly because I don't want to panic and loop myself

>>15999361
Why did you buy a bike like that if you can't even do a willy?

Asking to crash it m8.

>>15999361
If you roll into your throttle correctly the bike will be fine. You can go WOT in 1st on literbikes without a wheelie if you're smooth enough with it.

Find a long street and roll into it. Then just keep rolling into it slowly until you feel the front end go light.

just roll it properly intead of smacking it

>>15999361

>>15999361
Just do it a few times and the fear runs out, you'll be doing power willies through corners and intersections in no time.

Also consider getting a steering dampener, best $200 you can spend.

It's not the pull that scares me man it's the initial jerk when I crack the throttle. I hear the chain and the sprocket slap and then the front end just turns into nothing and I shit myself

>>15999386
>Never ridden a sport v-twin
it comes up just as fast as clutchups when I'm in first. In 2nd and third I do clutchups, but there's so much torque in first there's no need.

>>15999414
The point is you should not buy a bike with that much power if you can't willy a bike with no balls.

>>15999413
Oh! Well then you gotta let the clutch out a tad slower, smooth clutch control is really important, let that friction zone sliiiiiide out nice an easy.

>>15999420
Agreed

>>15999361

You do not get over the fear.
You learn to enjoy scaring the shit out of yourself instead.

If the gearing is standard, it will only do a slight power wheelie under full throttle in 1st. Snapoff-snapon throttle in 1st gear's power range will make it do a bigger wheelie. Clutchups will do a bigger wheelie again.
Cover your braiku to wheelie your baiku

>>15999413
That slap could be an indication your chain has stretched and may need to be tightened

>>15999448
your chain always stretches when it's under acceleration

>>15999457
That is true, but I'm referring to an incorrectly tensioned chain

>selling bike for really good price
>buyer still wants me to drive 2 hours to meet him half way

>>15999492
tell him to get fucked, if it's a good price it will sell regardless

>>15999457
if it slaps, it was already loose

adjust your wheel mayang

all you need is a ratchet, a torque wrench, a few sockets, a spare cotter pin, and a measuring tape for alignment if you somehow fucked that up (or if it was already fucked up)

also it would be a good time to clean and lube it

Yes. Fun as hell. Much lighter and more capable than it looks. But...

Since no crashbars, inspect tank for damage very thoroughly, that bitch costs 1k eur.
Ask if mainshaft bearing has been replaced.
Remove seat. Look for milky discharge in airbox.
Check all electrical systems (turns, lights).
Find out last service for:
-Engine oil
-Forks
-Carb (cleaning)
-Valve clearance
-Liquids (coolant, brakes etc).

If you have options, look for >2003 model - more common parts with LC4 enduro models, better forks, better engine, easier to work on etc.

Leaking oil all over, as usual.

Bolzanon or cb650?

Don't plan to visit Milan very soon.
Unless I get both the bike and some free time in a very short amount of time. It's starting to get pretty fucking cold here.

>>15999947
Are you in Bolzano di sopra o di sotto?
I went there once, a long time ago
Spent a winter at this really cool hotel called cavallino bianco

Are most parking lots free for motorcycles?
