>>16301405
Or maybe other manufacturers know they can inflate the price because small dick fags like you will buy the bike to compensate nonetheless.
Lmao at Ducuckti and Yamacuck dicklets who can't compare to superior Suzuki riders!

This has to be the most boring and generic looking bike I've ever seen.
I bet it's like 20hp or some weak ass shit too.

Would you guys be happy if this was your bike's vid?
I think that in the future I need to get some more detail shots... in this case of shaky exhaust, or the gremlin bell, or the dials....
Also getting some context with shots of the farm etc to build a story would be better too.
But I wanted to get something under 60 secs to post on instagram...
Thanks fr your feedback!

>so self absorbed he thinks it about him
LMAO
>>16301786
Thats good. You got lucky. Criminal elements are in every society.
>>16301780
Depends on the bike. Have a look around and see if another model uses the same transmission with wider ratios. Swapping the whole gear set might not be too hard if you can drop the whole other shaft in. Picking your own gears could be tough if there's space issues inside the box .etc
Does this mean that the indicator bulbs I use should be either 23w, or 21w and nothing else?
>>16301813
Specifically, I'm looking at the ACT wide ratio gear set for a drz400, theres some small dremel stuff to do which is easy, but the process of actually -doing- the swap, like, taking the transmission off and stuff, I have no idea where to even begin.
>>16301704
Tricks are for kids. Dirt bikes are for all humanoids capable.

Is this a good first motorcycle?
>>16301891
Why not?
My main points for choosing a motorcycle:

>Doesn't have to be too high, so that I can easily get on top.
It's basically this what I want.

Do you think I have the money to go around buying several bikes with increased CC just to train?
Do you think I actually want to buy a 125, then a 200, then a 400, then a 500 and so on?
>>16301905
Yes,
But vulcan is the correct answer. Especially since you apparently want a cruiser. Also since they got the ergo fit program which makes the vulcan real comfy for your back, and i guess its not the nicest looking bike ( though its looks great to me atleast) its pretty decent, but if youre willing to wait you vould check out the honda rebel 500 once reviews come out , considering your a beginner and all
>>16301911
I guess you don't value your life that much
Speaking from experience, a ~400 would be enough, fuck you could get a gs500 for dirt cheap and resell it with no loss
>>16301911
Alot of people will tell you to start on a 125, and theyre not wrong but through experience i know that around 400-650cc is still a very good range for beginners (depending on the bike). Although up to 800 is do-able i guess but i wouldnt reccomend it
>>16301921
>>16301916
So what's a nice used 400cc bike that I can get?
Are these enough for trips around the countryside on weekends?
wut baiku is this
How's your form DBT? Like honestly.
>>16301924
Budget?
What kind of bike?
If you just want comfy, gs500, vulcan, vfr400...
>>16301934
I'm seeing this one for around 3500 used.
KAWASAKI EN 500
>>16301924
Ducati scrambler sixty2 if you can find it used and want boipucci (although seriously they are decent bikes)
I personally reccomend a Kawasaki ninja 650
>>16301901
aaaah is dat some knights of sidonia? Fucking sweet color scheme.

>>16301942
Get a standard, cruisers destroy your ass
>>16301946
What's a standard?
I need something comfy that doesn't fuck my back.
>>16301930
I'd give it a solid B, other things need work more than the body position, mostly braking.
>>16301947
A standard is exactly that, a middle ground
The starting shape from which all motorbike design have evolved
>>16301947
Standards are basically what most people think of when they hear motorcycle, despite not knwoing what its called. They have elements of everything and are great for beginners wanting to find out what type of bike they really want
That being said considering your determination to go cruiser there arent really alot of options in the 400 range but jump up a bit and you got the vulcan s which like i said is great. If your willing to get new then i guess the rebel 500 is more your style and significantly cheaper
>>16301930
0/10 tbqh
>>16301947
Oh, and i forgot, you can use the site in the op, cycle ergo, to see how bikes will fit you
Over 300cc is a bad idea for very fresh beginners who haven't ever ridden motorcycles at road speeds. Big dimension bikes are also not the best idea. It's easier to learn bike control to a real noob on light 250s.
After about 6 months on this, when it should be becoming natural to ride and you know how to corner properly, getting a bigger bike up to 600 sportsbike kind of performance (if they have some self control) shouldn't be a problem. Larger, heavier but not highly powered bikes aren't unreasonable after just a couple of months if you just take time to master its slow speed control and are cautious in the corners.

Does anyone have any experience with GPR exhausts? I'm thinking of putting an aftermarket exhaust on my next bike, but all the manufacturers seem to differ a lot in price and looks.
>>16302450
they're pretty good
>>16302465
I do not understand though how they can sell them for 300 Euros where as Leo Vinces or MIVVs are like double the price
>>16302509
they're underground
you don't pay the name
>>16302517
okay
>>16302357
I could deal with fitting the panniers myself, but not repainting the whole thing.
The hell of it, is, the 2014 Vultus (all we get here) is not EURO4 compliant, so even though they will be unsellable from 1/2/17, they're not even discounted and no sign of the 2016 Vultus turning up.

>buy a ninja 250
>>16302575
well the handling is true, I went from a ex250 to a gsxr600 and the input felt so direct and oversensitive at first.
Like you playing with mouse sensivity at 5 all the time and suddenly it's 10
if you're noob and panic that may can lead to problems
who's this one meme guy and why is he a meme?
>>16302610
wr anton, because he should basically end it all now
>>16301911
Displacement doesn't matter.
A VFR800 might be a lot easier to ride than a GSXR750
But harder to cope with than a CBR250 MC22
And they're all worse beginner bikes than the suzuki SV650
Which is a better start than a 125 single or 250 twin
>inb4 "bbbbut you'll be forced to be faster in corners with a bike that's slower than a toyota corolla"
if you're on a track or breaking the fucking law maybe. what if you take your sv650 to the track and there's nothing but liters there? are you going to rely on the straights? or will you ignore corners as long as you pass the 250s? better buy a 50cc with a ten speed transmission for maximum learning and don't even touch the road until you've lapped a liter.

don't tell me how to feel about a subjective thing lil bitch
also can agree, SV650 is the perfect mix between not too fast to kys but also not too slow so you want to get rid of it after 2 weeks. ninja 250 is a meme

it helps to spend more time riding bikes than thinking about which one would be the coolest
>>16302568
nice 1125r
>>16302743
Its not about which would be the coolest. If i want to upgrade to a different bike, i want to be able to have more option in terms of displacement because if im mostly commuting in the city, 650 is way more than neccesary but it i want to go on the highway then 250 just barely gives you enough power for those speeds and only if you are revving the hell out of it. i like the DRZ and i like enduros but i prefer riding something more suited to the streets with a bit more weight and stability especially for higher speeds

>I want that sweet spot between 250 and 650cc
Why? If you want an econo bike that can do anything then get a 250 or 300. The top speed of them is somewhere around 80-90 mph usually, more than enough to do an overtake on the motorway.
If you want a bike that can do anything but comfortably then get a 500 or 600.

thats the thing, if i want 500cc the cb500f is the only thing available and as far as i know there arent any 600cc bikes here, only 650. my gripe is that between 250 and 650 you have so little in terms of options. I have a 250cc right now but taking on the highway isnt great since you practically have to redline it to keep at 100kmh and you have pretty much no ability to pass which can be dangerous on the highway
>>16302816

What's the deal with all these modern nakeds coming with low, angry looking headlights, big hunchbacks, and short little tails? Don't people know when the tail doesn't even extend as far back as the tire it won't do it's one job which is to keep the tire from flinging debris on you?

AE YE FAGGITS
The designated vehicle for irresponsible riding is now back on the road and damn I missed this bike. If you missed what happened, I sommersaulted myself and the bike on the tarmac early last month after a trail braking mistake on the track. Last I heard it rolled over twice before skidding to a stop...
There's a few details to sort out — the front fender isn't there, gotta remove the front wheel to put it back on. The fork legs got a bit out of alignment and for whatever reason, dash lights are all out. Riding it at night sure is fun with the entire dash all pitch black. Also gotta put the mirrors back in there.
I'll still have to tear it down again in the near future to replace a bunch of shit, but that comes later.
There's a track session on the 17th of December but I think I'll pass. It's gonna rain and I need a new rear tire.
>>16303157
I understand why you would say that, it's only natural.
It's because you look for them in the wrong place, Germany, while the natural habitat of the hot German female is Italy, in places like the Garda lake.

>Numerosi video postati su un canale YouTube e su una pagina Facebook, entrambe intitolate a "Max Wrist", che mostrano un motociclista percorrere a velocità folle strade, per lo più, del Trentino. In questo video un duello fatto di sorpassi e controsorpassi, spesso su una ruota, con un altro motociclista. Sotto i video si leggono molti commenti positivi, ma anche molti negativi di utenti che rimproverano all'autore di aver messo a repentaglio la vita di altre persone. La polizia italiana avrebbe già identificato il motociclista: si tratta di un soldato americano, Eddy McMahel in servizio a Vicenza, al quale sarebbe anche già stata ritirata la patente. Le autorità italiane, a quanto pare, non possono fare di più, mentre quelle militari starebbero valutando altri provvedimenti
Basically Maxwrist is called Eddy McMahel, he's got his license suspended or withdrawn and military are thinking about disciplinary measures.

That isn't even close to have mediterranean climate, friend. You gotta try harder than that.
>>16303407
Here's my bike parked in Lazise just after I bought it.
>>16303426
get a Yamaha YBR 125.
Very good, reliable and cheap. Cheap because you will want to move on from it soon.
>>16303433
>>16303437
125 is enough for me. also i only have A1 licence
>>16303443
>i do go on vacation, I just didn't remember if I ever saw a carabinieri bike
Don't forget to bring your sister with you next time you come down here ;^)

>mediterranean climate
that's because it's nowhere close to Mediterranean climate.
Honestly, up until 2 years, I spent almost all of my vacation at the Lago di Garda, and it was always pretty nice, but the people there are just terrible. And so many annoying motor boats
I prefer Korsika now
>>16303457
down where?
>>16303464
I'd get a WR400 maybe or 450, but surely no 125 again.

the most alluring thing about the SV is how easy and cheaply an aftermarket exhaust can be fitted, because I definitely want a non stock exhaust on my next bike
>>16303491
Get a Grom

>i said usd because im pretty sure most you anons are from usa.
nah man, all the americans are busy going 15 mph on their ninja 250s because they need to "learn" how to ride a motorcycle by themselves
also, get an enduro, maybe a 2stroke even

New 2016 VFR800, or old VFR800Fi (pre-VTEC) or VFR750? On the one hand, Muh gear-driven cams, Muh reliability, and also cheaper; but the allure of a new bike unfucked by another is tempting.

>no mediterranean climate
It's shite.
Yeah, Corsica looks very nice but so do all mediterranean islands and countries. I remember I could see Corsica from Capraia, another island close to it.
Greece was also amazing. Most beautiful place I've seen in my life until now. It's a very powerful place to visit, it was very emotional. I wish the country wasn't shit and the language so hard, I'd like to go live there.
>>16303559
i prefer croatia, ciggies are far cheaper than in greece
>>16303559
>Everyone's favourite country
australia?
>>16303426
like others the WR is a good pick for that size. you could also probably find a cheap CB125 depending on where you are
>>16303559
>Everyone's favourite country
But that's up north for Germany
>TFW no riding until late march at the least
as much as I enjoy snow, it always sucks when the bike has to go away for the winter

Is it normal to have 3-4 close calls every week, and have at least 1 crash if you're a biker?
Seems like car drivers are only on the lookout for other cars.
>>16303696
1 crash a week? That's a lot.
3-4 close calls per week is not much. When I'm commuting it's 3-4 per day.
>Seems like car drivers are only on the lookout for other cars.
Always ride like other road users are activaly trying to kill you.
>>16303575
Quit poisoning yourself and more importantly others.
I fucking hate smokers, worst kind of people ever.
Can't even take a walk in the city without having to inhale someone else's literally garbage smoke.
>>16303696
what do you mean close call? do you mean you would have crashed had you been 5 cms in another position, or do you mean you have to break firmly and swerve a bit?
>>16303716
did your mum scold you when she caught you with a cig last week?
>>16303725
No, I had to take replace one in your mom's mouth with someone else.

Cigarettes are people too, you racist scum.
>>16302768
Thank you. It's a great bike, though I now have to put it away for the winter but I have things to do to it for more track days.
Give me one good reason not to buy the XSR900 as soon as it warms up.

Go ride muh california roads
why haven't you purchased a Harley yet, /dbt/?
Are you some sort millennial pussy?
>>16304307
Riding in the rain is fine, but not fun.
California roads are great, but I'm not going riding in the rain without a destination.
You really going to call me out for this?
>>16304330
Because my peepee can stand up without the need of drugs.

We hispter now. Old trump voting racist biggoted people need to die and leave us free to ride our Harleys.
>>16304460
Only a a bigoted, closet homo, mouthbreather, dumb Trump voter could ever choose to ride a Harley.
>>16304455
Seriously. With all they added to that scooter they should have made a trike instead.
>>16303696
3-4 close calls a week seems low, 3-4 close calls or car/accident avoidance events a ride would be more likely.
That's just how riding is, you need to constantly be on the lookout, buffering, setting up brakes and predicting the motion of cars to stay alive.
Don't enter blind intersections, don't ever assume the car will "stop" or not do that thing it could totally do and fuck you up etc.
This is why plenty of riders eventually give up riding on the road and go track only.
>>16304330
Because I already own a superior Triumph product.
>>16304349
Man I love riding in the rain. I miss it here in NM.
And you're a califag now so yes I will call you out for everything Baird
>>16304488
Actually, how are the laws regarding trikes in Euroland?
>>16304509
AH GOOD QUESTION MY AMERICAN FRIEND
SEE, I HAVE EXACTLY THE RIGHT BIKE FOR YOUR BALANCING CHALLENGED NEEDS
SEE THIS?
IS MADE BY JAPS, GOOD RELIABLE, YES?
EVEN HAS AUTOMAGIC GEARS FOR EASE OF YUO
Anyone ever ride a CG125 or a clone of one? How do they handle? Can you off road on one? How quick are they? I kinda want one for that full third world riding experience. Also in the dystopia future I think bikes like this will be common in the first world.
>>16304535
that's pretty fucking adorable
>>16304460
What a retarded ad
Where is that girl going to sit?
Why is that girl there?
Why do they think that seeing a faggot hipster with a too-cool look on his face sells old-people bikes to young people?

Foot forward ergo motorcycles are bad and gay. I want to buy American but everything made in America is garbage cruisers.

its why am interested in buying the Kawasaki W800 for my next bike, it is a timeless looking bike. 100 years from now people will want it.

I have an XL185 which is very simular to the CG. Love every sloppy second of it.
What the fuck is the point of sidecar racing? What does the copilot do?
>>16305066
Same point as any racing, fun and entertainment.
The copilot appears just to shift his weight around to keep the machine settled.
>>16305066
my dad (ex racer) has been on a sidecar once and said it was the most horrifying thing he has ever done in his life and you could not pay him to get back on the side of one.
If that doesn't pique your interest then I don't know how else I could explain it.

Buy a FACTORY service manual for your bike, then see what is required. FACTORY, not fucking Haynes/Clymer/Chilton etc.
Don't try to get around using correct tech data for that job.

Advice from a place that doesn't hate cruisers. There are things called motorcycle forums. They exist on the internet. /dbt/ is just for shitposting. Now display ur boipucci to amuse us.
My commute is an hour long / 44mi with the majority of road being open highway, a small section being interstate, and the minority being town and city roads under 45mph.
my budget is $3000, and I am completely fine with sacrificing all comfort for maneuverability, power, and/or ability to ride defensively on a moment's notice to avoid an accident. Safety in this instance does not imply preventative electronics like ABS, it involves rider control and proactive measures to prevent that shit from ever happening.
I do not require a comfortable seat, am 6'0", and would prefer to be able to quiet my exhuast note considerable and instead use bright riding lights. A powerful stroke would be neat, I enjoy deep THUMTHUMTHUMTHUMs I hear from cruisers, so if it has to be a cruiser, let that be a secondary consideration.
If I can fit these parameters into a cruiser, great.
What bike is good for me, /dbt/?
