this has honestly never worked on me, speed just always feels like speed, I get nothing out of slower bikes (people often go on about how it's great to really wring the neck of slow bikes because it feels faster but it doesn't to me, I'm just always frustrated by the lack of power), always more power would be preferable, any time I'm on the throttle stops I'm unhappy.

Special exceptions would be made for slower bikes that are significantly lighter like 2 strokes and what not though.

To each their own. I'm the kinda dick who likes to try and get by on the barest minimum so if I can keep up/exceed those on something faster it makes it all the more worthwhile.

That and revving to 17k while standing still makes me aurally happy. Same feeling when I'm caning watercooled, USD aluminium bastards around the local pit on my pigfat XR400. I like a challenge as much as a thrill.
If you're happy, you're happy.

Never liked 2T's, though, sold my CR500 in a heartbeat. Too much to tame. Tooooo much. Lent my GSF250 to a guy for an NSR250 for a couple weeks so he could sit his license. I'll admit, the kickstart gave me more jollies than needed and the powerband was a bit fun at the lights but it's just all or nothing, never taken one on the track though.

i don't really understand the idea of not """""feeling"""""" your speed on a bigger bike. if you're going fast you're going fucking fast. getting on a bigger bike doesn't automagically reset whatever internal gyroscopes you have or fuck with your perceptions or anything. if you lose track of how fast you are going it's not because your bike can go faster, it's because you are a shitty rider -- no, a shitty pilot of automobiles in general -- with terrible presence of mind.

>he has unnecessary weight on his trackbike
>>
>>16248147
IMO it's like, you're on a bike of x capacity, you WoT for a couple seconds and you're at 70mph say. On a bike of x capacity + many HP, you WoT for a couple seconds and you feel dat G, but it doesn't sync internally and mentally until you click and realize "Shit nigga, I needed to stop accelerating 50m ago, now I need to brake twice as hard".
Like if you put an extra couple hundred thou of step height on a flight of stairs, everyone who used them for the last year will trip. Muscle memory, expectations etc.

You do have a point, though.
>>
>>16248160
amount of time elapsed should under no circumstances fucking ever be your most heavily weighted perception of speed. that's one of the most retarded things i've ever read. it's actually kind of mind boggling to me that people are so spatially retarded that they have to nigger rig their own perceptions? if your mind can't constantly and subliminally compute trajectories and velocities and feed it into your perceptive experience with zero effort, you really have no business riding a motorcycle.
>>
>>16248157
Don't blame you, I'm just there for the thrill factor.
I could wank on about me on my mates CBR250rr spanking a CBR1000r on a coro loop but I wouldn't, because I know he'd never get out of 1st for 90% of the road and can't stretch his legs, but 'feeling' like the underdog wins does it for me.

That said, I wrote off my VFR400 trying to beat my personal times at the local track. The hardest person to fool is yourself, or something, Idk. I'm drinking.

>>
>>16248080
why are you responding to the nobike?
>>
>>16248147
Everyone perceives speed using a mutltitude of reference points. On a typical track, there are very few, so it becomes a learned skill that people neglect in favor of just knowing their bikes instead of an instinct. Newbies tend to watch nearby riders too, so their perception of speed is weakened further.

This is also why it's easier to catch yourself speeding on an empty highway or at night. It all seems fine until you look at the speedo because there aren't enough reference points for you to passively perceive. You have to look for them and focus on them to perceive your speed properly.

On a track, they're called corners. Look at the fucking corners. The corners, laurence. Look at the corners.

>>16248162
People are different and gauge things they aren't used to gauging on old inputs. Doing 0-60mph in 3s versus 0-60mph in 6s is a huge jump for the nervous system, I've scared friends off litrebikes after letting them loose on my paltry GSX1400 on a straight. They don't button off until their lobes have concluded they are traveling faster than they ever have until after the fact.

I know exactly what you're talking about and agree, but get over yourself. Nobody was born in a 2044 Piranha class.

All those are instincts that are refined and improved through practice. Your statement is effectively the same as saying that someone picking up a guitar has no business holding the instrument unless they are instinctively a master Spanish guitarist.
>>
>>16248173
track is different. completely static environment. the corner isn't going to change and the corner isn't moving at speed. that isn't even the issue anyway, because if you've ever been towed through a corner faster than you would have gone otherwise you understand that it's EASIER to use objects moving closer to your own speed as dynamic reference points. why do you think passing on the brakes is a thing?
>>16248175
it's not even an ego thing. i'm not amazing at it myself. i recognize my limitations as a human being and keep my speed to sane levels where i feel comfortable trusting my own perceptions.
>>16248179
there is a quantifiable aspect of intelligence that deals with spatiality. in the same way that someone can be book smart but an idiot, a reclusive genius with terrible soft skills, a gifted artist but intellectual dunce, a social butterfly with no quantifiable skills, etc., someone can be absolutely, pants-going-200mph-in-the-wrong-direction retarded.

I mean it when I say I know exactly what you're talking about - but expecting everyone to have the same spacial awareness and adjustment of processed input physically to those visual, it bad. Maybe I'm soft because it's my on the side job to help the newcomers to the fantastic world of 50hp+, but it's not just the older guys that have a problem adapting. Maybe it is an ego thing for me, having driven/ridden things from pitt bikes to firebreathing 2smokers, ningadingers to JATO's on wheels, runsoffan oilyrag to dead in a blink. I've just seen the best/worst of most of it, the best end up fighting for their life and the worst never touching a handlebar again.

A neg charge I fought (and lost on the primary). Smacked into a car stopped dead in the road in the middle of a blind corner. We had a bad relationship so they stuck the knife in over it and I cracked the shits and went to court. Result was a loss and a lot of personal animosity between them and me.

They pull me up on the way to work and do me for 30 minute rbts, that sort of shit. Not worth going near old pac now because that's their playground.

Is that where you have your fursuit faggot orgys, tom?
>>
>>16248579

Yeah, issue on those roads is fully loaded 4wds overtaking the lycras and potential headons, so you'd be looking to play elsewhere.
>>
>>16248590
It's the closest twisty road and not much better is nearby without the same problems so I can put up with it when I feel like heading out. The faster or more open roads are where cops play and the slower, tighter ones are infested with bicycles. Frustrating, it's too bad we won't ever get a good track around here.

Probably one of the best 125cc bikes going, but that's not saying much. 125s are scary as fuck when pulling on to any road with a speed limit over 40mph.

I wish this guy made more reviews. I love his style.

considering buying a bike used, it supposedly was running but as left for 6 months with the fuel on, and now doesnt ant to run, im assuming draining the tank and cleaningthe carbs would fix this right?
>>
>>16249727
>ran when parked just needs the carbs cleaned!
Sure if that's the only problem then a carb cleaning should get it running, BUT that's generally just a shitty excuse for sellers to claim when selling their busted up worn out bikes.
>>
>>16249727
>with the fuel on
shouldn't matter if the floats work.

you can drain, clean and then hope that it works

>>16249735
it doesnt look in too ba shape, and is bike that iis street legal, that normally isnt, and i dont want to have to go through dmv myself , plus worst case scenario i know quite a few guys who are decent bike mechanics
>>
>>16249727
Do the nigger carb clean when you check it out. Spray carb cleaner through the floats and down the jets with the diaphragm+cap thingy off, and put a little seafoam in the tank. It's usually just a matter of lifting up the gas tank and four screws per carb.

If the seller won't let you they can fuck off. The bike probably has a dead battery and a dry/corroded engine because they couldn't into fogging oil.

>>16249833
i can probably pick it up for 1200-1300 dump a bit into the suspention and have a nice biku for 1500 will do nigger carb clean

I hear you, my only bike before this was a Harley sportster which I had stage 1'd (which someone decided to crash into, hence cheap bike after because it's all I could afford until I get an injury payout).

I may even be getting a hardtail frame and just taking my bandit to bits and having a chopper anyway... depends when I can afford another bike for work lol

It's 228kg dry, 249 wet.
Mine might be like 235-240kg because no cat and non-stock muffler.

But even fully loaded with camping gear she pulls to the top speed without problems.

Guessing it comes under light iron scrap (like cars)... probably get £25-50 scrap value tops if you take the battery out and sell it separately. Probably better selling it in parts via ebay or other motorcycle forums, but that is time/effort...

If it isn't going to destroy you financially and in terms of effort I'd say its better fixing up yourself and selling 2nd hand (presuming insurance hasn't wrote it off, in which case resale is nigh on impossible for a decent price). At the worst take the engine out and make a 250cc drift bike out of a BMX lel

lads I'm about to buy an r6 for a first bike

I have years of dirt bike experience/racing but never rode on the street

Lots of people are going to say not to get a 600 but I did and it was fine. Just be aware that there's not much similarities between dirt and street besides the controls.

On road after riding it in the Glasshouse mountain trails all day, rider fatigue and being a scrub.

That's fine, literally just take it easy to begin. Within a few days you'll know how much power it'll be kicking out at what revs. If you go pinning it everywhere then you'll probably slide about a bit.

You should have great throttle control from the dirt bikes so that will pass through. Main thing with big bikes is throttle control, she'll be right mate/
