The largest thing you can find from caselogic (on amazon) or amazon basics.

I have a 3 year backpack from caselogic that I've been using daily I'm impressed it's still holding together.

I did it boys. I bought that sketchy Craigslist GSXR. I don't know what the fuck is going on with this bike but I am pretty damn happy with my purchase thus far.

>mfw its a full exhaust and not just a slip-on like I thought

Power commander, aftermarket shock, QUICK SHIFTER.

The only thing that concerns me is the fuel pump makes a weird noise (it sounds a lot different from my 600) when I turn it on. Also the inside of the gas tank looks a bit fucked.

All for $2100

>>16120144
That was part of the reason why I was OK with taking a gamble on it and buying it without seeing it. As long as the bike runs, there isn't much that can be wrong with it.

I will say though. This is my first time on a 1000 and the power honestly isn't as much as I had expected. This is using my 600 as a reference. It feels torquier for sure but when I first rode my 600, I was shitting my pants just feathering the clutch in 1st gear (upgraded from a ninja 250) so the difference felt much more substantial.

Not so much this time

LMAO WHO DID DIS

>>16120240
Not really man. If the bike runs and shifts through the gears, there isn't much that isn't fixable for cheap. I know I'll need a valve inspection/adjustment. Tires, chain, sprockets, fluids, etc.... are all replaced anyways when you buy a new bike.

what a clusterfuck

I just noticed something very dangerous about the kickstand of my SV650.

I parked it in a motorcycle spot on the side of the road, it's just a little bit downhill, something like a couple of degrees. Still when I turn the handlebar the kickstand starts, I don't know how to say it better, going back and therefore the bike falls.
What the fuck?
Is that normal? Looks like the kickstand doesn't go much forward and the slightest movement of the handlebar toward the right will make the bike fall.

If this is normal then how the fuck am I supposed to park the bike downhill?

will painting a red racing stripe on my slowbike make it go faster

>>16120364
Yes that is normal. That is literally how I dropped my bike for the first time. It's annoying as shit and you just have to be careful. Park sideways instead

>>16120335

Plenty fast. Handles a lot like a sport bike with very stiff suspension and great brakes. More comfortable for distance and commuting because of the riding position id say.

the japanese don't want anymore gaijin like me (and I don't have a degree) and the Chinese have cornered the IT/Networking market in Australia

could a friend in canada import it for me, and then I can buy it from him?
Or would (((they))) sniff it out and destroy the bike once the front tire touches US soil

>>16120592
I think they still do, I'm just a very stressed person and tend to have mental schemes to ease some stress. Always letting vehicles in neutral is one of them, it will be hard to readjust.

I always put the car in neutral at the light too, for example.

>>16120620
>could a friend in canada import it for me, and then I can buy it from him?
no because you still have to register it in the USA
so you imported it just from a different country
and don't care if they don't want you, many people don't want refugees here, too, and we still get them.

>how to look like a boner 101

So it's getting really cold now and I need winter gloves.

My current gloves are very nice but too thin for this temperature.

Should i get winter gloves or are they a meme?

>>16120919
I will definitely keep that in mind, have to take it to a parking lot to really get the hang of it.

>>16120958
that's not how my boner looks like at all

>>16120962
Yeah if you want 30% power you can technically throttle the piss and redline the bike while keeping the clutch at the 30% mark.

I would never clutch in during a curve, though. What made you fall?

>>16120960
heated grips are better

>>16120962
have you taken an MSF course?

>>16120960
>Should i get winter gloves or are they a meme?
Are winter coats a meme? Of course they aren't you bloody mong.

Heated grips are hard to beat if you intend on riding in cold weather.

I have after market ones fitted by the previous owner but it drains the battery and only works on one handle bar.

>>16120968
>Yeah if you want 30% power you can technically throttle the piss and redline the bike while keeping the clutch at the 30% mark.

It's not a torque converter though and you can fry a motorcycle clutch with enough abuse. Slipping in very low speed work for short periods is fine though.

Hey anon sorry, I missed your post.

>What's it like on the island?
Warm and pleasant most of the time. I miss some of the big city stuff once in a while, but it's nice in here.

>How is contact to the mainland? Ferries frequent?
Yeah there's at least 2 ferries a day from different companies. They cost anything from 60€ to 160€, it was a while since I last checked. What sucks is that the ferry takes 8 hours to get to the mainland.

>Canaries

That's a few notches up on the "really fucking far away" scale. The ferry there takes close to 2 full days to the mainland.

Mallorca is doable. Canaries unless you have a fantastic job opportunity (or don't need to worry about money at all) I would pass. Southern Spain (say, Marbella) is also very pleasant and more well connected.

Just got my (Minnesota) motorcycle's permit, so want to get a bike at some point, especially because I'll probably be going to college in Texas.

I only make like $400 a month at my part time job, and have $300 saved for a bike right now.

Should I wait to buy an older ninja 500 for like $1000 if it's in decent condition, or save up $1800 for something like a honda xlr650 or similar dualsport?

>>16121171
neither, you start on a 250. a 250 is more than fast enough for anyone for at least a year.

>>16121171
do you have somewhere to offroad?

>>16121171
That's all fine, if you can find good ones at those prices.

>>16112778

>>16121197
>>16121198
Yeah, I have some trails like 50 miles from me.

As far as the 250 stuff goes, seems to be a meme as far as dual sports go. A honda 250 can barely go on a high way.

>>16121221
>250 is a meme
the bench racers, schadenfreude, and trolling have finally won. starting on a 250 is not a fucking meme, it's a way to stay alive while you learn how to ride a motorcycle

>>16121221
yeah that guy is just shitposting
the xr650 is fine, enough power to get you around on the road and you can have your fun on the trails
When you'll have some experience you can upgrade depending on what you enjoy more

>>16121233
Yeah I understand that slow bikes/cars and riding them quick is safer and more fun generally than fast bikes slow, but for a dual sport 250 there's many that can't even go on the highway so what's the point in owning one when the only way around a river near me is a highway without doing a 25 mile detour.

my cb250's top speed is 70 even though the odo goes to 85
in order to get up to 70 I need to
>put my feet on the passenger pegs
>put my chin to the handlebars
>WOT the throttle
even then it takes a solid 15 seconds to accelerate from 60 to 70
there's no way a 250, save for maybe a ninja, can handle a highway

>>16121270
>can handle a highway
for any extended amount of time
when I get up to 70 the engine's practically redlined and sounds like it's going to explode

>>16121270
Mine gets 75-80mph for real but its probably because altitude, tires or carb tune.

>>16121270
most highways in my area are 55, only a few are 65. there's no law against going under the speed limit. going faster than the flow of traffic is preferred for experienced riders, but for a new rider it's not a good idea.

>>16121291
ours (FL) are 75 and if you're not doing the limit here people are going to try and run you off the road

>>16121304
DRZ400 then. you really want to be going as low power as you possibly can given any constraints. it's really hard to recommend anything other than a 250, but a 500 may be fine in this situation as well. just please be careful, it's really easy to get ahead of yourself once you start getting comfortable. your most dangerous time when learning how to ride a motorcycle is when you just start to actually get your skills down and the dunning-kruger effect kicks in. you see people all the fucking time on internet forums talking about their lean angles, how good they think they're getting, etc. nobody is ever as good as they think they are until you've been riding long enough to get an accurate picture of what skill on a motorcycle actually is.

this takes a lot longer than months. we're talking years before you've actually fully matured into a competent motorcyclist.

it is, compared to a supersport. it's a form of risk mitigation for people who aren't inclined to listen to advice in the first place. if you tell someone who wants to get a 600 supersport as their fist bike to get a 250 they're more likely to ignore you than if you recommend a 650 twin. 650 is after all a bigger number than 600. they still get to feel like a big boy but do so more safely than on an I4 600.

none of this changes the fact that if you can start on a 250 you should

It is. The powerband is gentle, it has good power down low so you never have to spin the engine up to where it's strong if you don't want to. It's not much heavier than 250 really and it carries the weight down low so it's pretty easy to handle.

>>16121531
it's basically just road sense. ride long enough and your mind starts to subconsciously put together all of the little tells that vehicles give off when they're about to do something dangerous. it's just a form of pattern recognition that allows you to quickly and without involving your conscious mind evaluate risk in a pretty sophisticated series of mental shortcuts.

you know you are using it if you find yourself taking specialized, directed precautions without consciously thinking about it. as far as developing it and "putting yourself in danger," if you don't realize you're putting yourself in potentially mortal danger every time you throw a leg over a bike, you'd better start realizing it.

your risk of dying is 38 times greater on a motorcycle than it is in a car.

The biggest issue I see is that beginners have this concept of "pretend you're invisible" hammered into them. This is correct, you should always pretend you're invisible.

but you arent.

and 99% of the time, people see you and react how they should. you get used to this and eventually let your guard down.

Then that 1% sneaks up on you and takes you for a spin.

Anyways, the 6th sense is more or less an extension of your 6th sense from driving a car. You can just pick up small hints. Like you see a car at the end of a driveway. You automatically slow down because you're anticipating this stupid fucking moron to back out without looking or some shit. Or you steer clear of the dividing lane because you know 90% of people in this world are fucking retards that can't stay in their own lanes without drifting over the lines. You don't pass more than 1 car at a time when traffic is stopped because you know people are stupid shits that change their minds, etc

Here's another.

I sold this bike a few years ago but it had a full micron exhaust, TRE mod,
R1 throttle, short stacks on the intakes, 520 chain with altered gearing (can't remember what size), power commander, stainless lines, dyno tuned by bsbk racing outta farmington hills MI.

Made 112 whp which was pretty good for that gen. I did a few track days with her and also ran the 1/4 mile in 11.02@130mph. Fun bike!
