The Hypermotard is semi ugly, but super fun. The Hyperstrada is supposed to be a tourer, and especially with the bags on it is ugly as fuck. Still fun I assume but based on the Hypermotard so uncomfortable for long hauls. Defeats the purpose of having it in the lineup honestly.

in my experience it's the opposite, grom owners are usually pathologically obsessed with what they believe to the be ultimate cosmic joke, that is that they're riding a small motorcycle.

This is apparently hilarious and completely out of the ordinary even though everyone and their mum has a grom now. I would say probably 1/2 the people buy them for this outward perception that what they're doing is funny or interesting in some way and that makes them "unique".

Racing them makes even less sense to me, if you wanted to race little motorcycles I could name 10 better options off the top of my head.

>>16020055

>The dumbass thinks the 1901 has something to do with the performance.

Nah, but the history is interesting.

1901 was the first, "real" Indian Motocycle (note the "r" is not missing, just not present in the correct original name) Company. Due to a mix of economic conditions and producing a flathead with a sliding gear transmission and poor suspension compared to 1950s Harley models it died. Floyd Clymer and others tried to revive it, first with imported British junk then much later with aftermarket HD clone motors. Polaris made the only serious effort and are making lots of money, but the only thing modern "Indian" has to do with the original company is nostalgia branding.

Of course the John Bloor "Hinckley" Triumphs (the best revival of a defunct name so far) are not directly connected with the Meriden Triumphs either but but that revival has both vintage and modern machine markets covered.

I love the 999

but goddamn they have massive reliability issues relating to the fact they have the first CAN bus wiring harness in any motorcycle and they didn't do a good job of it.

>>16020572
But bro, 11k of babied track riding. Honda reliability dawg

>>16020328
What tires?

>>16020572
Italian electrics have been shit forever and CAN bus was old news in automobiles therefore engineering when they came out. Italian motor companies love beauty and performance but have always behaved as if quality control is an insult. Only Japs care about quality since BMW turned their bikes into modern German cars with two wheels.

EFI electronics on bikes lead hard lives so if you want to keep one (no matter who made it) long term I suggest collecting parts or even donor bikes. If you fall in love with a bike you expect to keep fordecades, stock up. There's only one motorcycle with awesome aftermarket support and that's Harley. If you have a salvage connection for wrecked vehicles (car dealer with dealer license to buy at Copart etc) they can hook you up with deals. Bikes sell cheap at auction unless a particular salvager wants it.

Lots of peeps make shocks. If you are trying to return the bike to like new tightness, look at fork bushings, shock linkage bushings/bearings, steering head bearings, stuff like that. That's all dealer or partzilla. After that it's upgrade shocks from any of several makers, and forks from pretty much Ohlins and would, which are $

Try lubing it thoroughly first. Also check the clutch actuation mechanism, if it's a worm gear or an equivalent mechanism it requires grease. But yes, bigger engine = beefier clutch = heavier

There's an intersection on my commute where there's a brake pad embedded into the ground. I guess it fell out of someone's car a couple years ago and just got left there and driven over until it was pressed into the pavement.

>>16021143
Riding a motorcycle is very clunky end of the day, this is the only motorcycle handling in a videogame I've ever liked and that feels like riding to me. You have to brake all the way to the apex, too much throttle runs you wide, you can lowside/highside and get it spinning up etc. so the way the races play out feels like watching a race (ie. if you run wide you can square the corner off and try and make it up with exit drive, you can be braver on the brakes and try and minimize damage on corner exit etc.)

If you made the bikes turn in faster it'd ruin the best part of the game which is that braking is really hard and really important (like it is on real motorcycles).

My key broke off earlier
The tip still is inside the ignition lock, but it's not visible. I can turn the lock with a screwdriver though.
What can I do to make sure that nobody succeeds stealing my bike by turning the lock with something and start it?
I still can engage the steering lock with my second key, but I couldn't get the tip of the old key out of the ignition lock

>>16021208

New rider question...

Ive been riding ~ 1month. Put 1500 miles on my bike so far, usually ride a few hundred miles on the weekend and occasional weekday rides.

Recently ive noticed pimples on my butt. Not a lot, but on both sides kinda when you sit leaned far forward and feel where the bones touch the seat. I dont really notice butt discomfort while riding.

Anyone ever get this? Is this saddle sores?

>>16021461
It certainly has a very friendly price tag for 11500 redline and 100HP. Seems to have a healthy amount of power even in the lower ranges. Like I said, I should get a lot of experience with it pretty soon so I can let you know how it is if you haven't made a choice yet.

I'm pretty sure a traffic court judge could get access to his vehicle registration records and see that he owns or has access to a car if they really wanted to.

Literally anything cheap that has good resale. Cost and resale are the most important part of a first bike, because you will sell it for something that suits you better.

The more well known it is as a bike that new riders want the better you are, so forget about reasonable bikes that just have a little more power if you want to ever get rid of it.

What kind of bike it is doesn't matter for this. Its internet meme status as a cool bike or friendly bike does. Want a ninja? how about a 500? Nope, you either buy the super dopey ptwin (ninja 250/300) or the screaming I4 of death (ninja 600, gsxr). Nobody buys the ninja 500 when they could have the 650 (which has barely more power) or the 250 (which is the meme bike). But if your large dopey twin of choice is an SV650 or GS500, it magically has resale value again.

Fall for the meme once and then get the bike you like and would hate to wreck later

Also be wary of crash damage and retarded aftermarket (ie: flush mount signals) because it will affect resale value more than anything

Superbike is garbage for second rate riders who couldn't compete in motogp.

How are MZ bikes? Besides pricey for 250ccs (looking at the ETZ here)

Evens: Go for a ride

Odds: Stay in and shitpost/play vidya

with the way racing goes, not being motoGP material just means you started riding at 15 instead of 5.

but if you can make it into motoGP, where do you start, if not WSBK?
