>1-N-2-X
Makes sense for a safety measue. Need to get going quickly? Mash down as fast as you can and you will be in first. If you want to upshift fast with N-1-2-X you may end up staying in N or overshooting to 2nd/3rd and stall, not moving at all.

>not N-1-2-X with a neutral lockout mechanism
You don't need neutral when you're moving. It's purely for standing still. If you need to disengage the power from the rear at any point the key word here is clutch.

>GP shift is almost never a factory option
Makes sense to have a standard in the industry. And for the minority that want the GP-shift pattern there are tons of aftermarket possibilities. A motorcycle with GP-pattern is just likely to sit around because no one buys a GP pattern bike to convert it to standard. Not worth the effort for like 0.01% of target audience.

UJM appreciation post. Shoutout to all the UJM owners ITT, yea u know what's good. The benefit of a UJM is just how subtle it is. You know why? A motorcycle is only good if it gets ridden.
>Casual ride? Take the UJM.
>Exploring new roads? Take the UJM.
>Rainy day? Take the UJM.
>Long trip? Take the UJM.
>Going shopping? Take the UJM.
>Girlfriend wants to pillion? Take the UJM.
>Commuting? You guessed it, Take the UJM.

Six out of seven days of the week, the UJM gets ridden while the power ranger memebike gathers dust. Who honestly goes on every single ride with intent to scrape knee, and hit redline? Maybe someone with <2 years experience, full of high confidence but only shallow skillsets. Realistically these riders do not last long and thus we see the rapid sales turnover of supersports from model year to model year. However, whilst those riders are in ER/buying ebay fairings/motovlogging/learning to wheelie/wrenching, the UJMs are quietly racking up enjoyable, unpretentious miles. UJMs are the most based class of bike. Enjoy setting the desmo valvetrain on your italian shitbike. Enjoy your micropenis harleyfags. Enjoy paul walkering yourself power rangers. UJM is love, UJM is life. I'm out.

guys get in this thread

I installed a $350 Akroprovic shorty steel exhaust for her too.

It was so fucking easy to put on I can't believe they'd charge $100 installation.

We had it straight-piped for a little though, inside the house. I impressed some high school kids :DDDD

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form.

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

so how you been did you get a bike yet you fucking truckfaggot? did you crash the truck and sell it?

My neighbor this 18 year old ginger highschool senior kid wrecks his ricer chevy cobalt "lt". It had an exhaust you could put a tennis ball into lemao. He'd compare with his dealer's broken Volkswagen's exhaust.

Haven't seen any new "cool" cars pop up since he wrecked the Cobalt. There's been a white Subaru Outback and a new Camaro zl1but I doubt that's his.

Just landed myself a new job! Got about a 40 min commute so I need a bike that's not going to crap out on me.

I can't decide whether to get an SV650S or an '05 or '06 zx6r, or maybe whether to look at less sporty bikes. I intend to do a fair amount of track days (Already one booked in March). Maybe a bit of touring too. Opinions? Ideally want to spend around £2000 - £2500.

Opinions?

1.Everything was standardized well before then so pretty much just like riding a modern bike.

2.If you maintain it properly, no. Some of the very early electronics tend to shit out and you have to get inventive.

3.The frames and brakes are generally not up to par with modern bikes. This one you can feel flex a little bit on bumps in corners.

4.It gets about 45 mpg

5.Plugs and oil every 3K. Valve clearances every 15k. Forks and head about every 10K.

>>16439927
if anything it's way simpler to work on and maintain. serivce intervals are normal.

with 80s bikes you may want to look at an engine overhaul but other than that they're simple and underpowered for their displacement so they're not less reliable than todays bikes.

Nigger I'm from 88 and I'm 28 years old, a bike from 80, which is still in the 80's if you didn't know, would be almost 40 years old.
Now, if your ex is really older than that she'd be 40 or older.

>Insurance
I've been quoted 900euro for a years worth of insurance, is this a normal price? (I'm 24y/o, riding for 2 years, insuring a Yamaha MT-07).

>Finance
Does financing a bike exist in Italy? What's it called? Or does everyone pay 100% upfront?

What's the process of buying a used bike? Is it worth the extra cash to go to a dealer and have them deal with everything?

Keksimus maximus. What's it like? It's awesome. They're somewhat less refined in some aspects, I think I could write a long 2 piece post about it, but it's not like anyone cares. They do the same things as new bikes do, they are only coarser in some regards. They are better in others, too.

there was nothing accidental, it was full on american cluelessness about how to ride

if he would have just gently used his brake nothing would have happened

he could have also just leave the throttle beforehand when he saw the car and gently used his brake if needed.

it's looks so accidental because he have so much space.

Same bike, color and everything. Just different exhaust.

>>16440437
I personally think it looks great, but definitely make sure that they use the exact same colour as your frame, or else it will look very wonky.

And just be aware of the cleaning that you'll have to do in order for them to look presentable

What exhaust is this? looks pretty cool

Couldn't be farther from the truth.

>>16440464
I don't think I get what you're saying. I just meant that the frame's red colour definitely has to fit the rims' colour you want to get, and that the dude in the shop should definitely know that

Hi, from Bolzano, I used to live in Milan, I've "studied" there for 2 years.

First thing does anyone in your family have a bike or scooter? You can get a pretty big discount on the insurance if you do. I had to pay like €800 for my first bike but since my father has a 150cc scooter I pay €300.

Don't finance and buy used from a private if you can.

I have an SC Project Conic on my Triumph Street triple.
It's loud. Almost obnoxiously so. On the plus side it's very light and visually small.
The build quality is top-notch, it looks great, can't say anything about ease of mounting though as the PO did that.
Overall I'd recommend them if you want something noisy. If on the other hand you just want a decent sounding but more subtle exhaust, go with Akra.

>Makes sense to have a standard in the industry.

There was no hard standard until US laws forced the layout you see today for no particular reason and it was adopted elsewhere.

Pressing down gives more positive upshifts so it's more logical but not popular because people hate learning. Conversion shift drums are made by Baker for Harleys.

I had no trouble with three different shift patterns/two different lever locations when I daily'ed a Triumph, a Norton and a Suzuki.

Automatically not worth the money unless a Harley (plentiful parts forever) or dirt bike (easy and only one cylinder).

There are plenty of 1980s bikes with low mileage out there. If you are in the US I wouldn't overhaul most worn out Jap bike engines and I enjoy doing it. It's rarely cost-effective. For similar money, buy later running bike and enjoy.

Bring a compression gauge, check all cylinders cold, eyeball spark plugs to check for oil.

Basically making it impossible to hit neutral just shifting, like a car where there is no way you're ever going to be a half-notch from second and find out you have no gear

Once you have more than one cyllinder you have to get into autism about how the ignition pulses are spaced out (ninja 250 goes bang-bang-bang-bang, african twin goes bang--bang---bang-bang--).

Once you put them in a V, the angle of that V affects balance

You could write a fucking essay explaining the differences between each and every little engine configuration. It's generally a slightly less waste of time to tack engine characteristics on to the individual bike instead of trying to generalize I4s/V4s/I2s/V2s. The only thing you can reliably pin is singles

Various types of this exist, most common being the 180° scooter motor
360/315° ptwin is best ptwin, see nuda/f800 and polaris
-fuel economy

-small packaging
-bulletproof
-cheap

>vtwin
In general TORKS while being very narrow, more specifically
-american: 45° boat anchors that misfire more often than not
-jap: low revving, easy power delivery, reliable
-italian: 90 or 65° screaming monsters, finnicky, abrupt power delivery, beautiful torque curve, prone to running hot

>I4 bog standard supersport engine
-high revving
-high power
-peaky power delivery
-gutless at low revs in small displacement

>I3
Often described as a wierd mix between i4 and v2, the english like them
-tork
-power
-compact

>v4
Best engine configuration

-single
Torque, explosive power delivery, good for scoots, dirtbikes and hoonmachines
-racing ones require frequent rebuilds
-pretty much unkillable

These are the ones i remember right now, i'm sure there are other snowflakes, but these are the common ones

why the actual fuck would a sensible american with the reliable disposable income to properly maintain a motorcycle buy a budget UJM when they can buy an adventure bike or sport tourer

Not sure what you're talking about here. Most of the non-supersport and non-cruiser bikes are literally just UJM/standards with ""modern"" looks and different marketing.

It's not that bad if the carbs are in good shape and jetted properly but EFI is much more convenient.
>automatically tunes itself
>automatically richens fuel mixture and turns up idle speed for a cold start
carbfags will get mad and refuse to accept its superiority but I have both and much prefer the EFI,.

Probably because he lives in california so there's a high chance of it getting stolen.

Also I have to pay $465/year for muh CBR for just basic liability but that's because insurers hate teens, especially on sport bikes.

I also got a quote from Allstate (I use geico currently) and they wanted $3600 per year for state minimum liability insurance.

oh that's not available in my state. Funny thing is just searching around I came across a "Harley Davidson Insurance" which is done through Progressive and got quoted for $250 per year for the CBR which is over $200 less than Geico.

Tossing up getting full system or not. I don't want it to be obnoxious. The intake on this is ridiculously loud, but the cat converter is HUGE and I'd love to see it go.

Mainly getting one to slim the looks down, like how I had to remove the awful rear fender. It's a pain that there's so much you have to replace straight away when buying a new bike

visually slimming, reasonable noise and decatting all at once will be tough, the cat sucks out a lot of noise so if you decat (which imo you're not getting your moneys worth out of your purchase if you don't) you'll need a bigger longer muffler to keep it sounding right.

I guess it's just the choice between $500 bucks to get a niceish sound and some visual weight off or $1500-2000 to get the performance the bike is capable of.

Power wise I'm rather happy with it, I don't know know if I'd be happy spending over a thousand for a little bit of gains.

I occasionally commute to work on it, but 90% of the time I ride it for fun. I don't want to piss off all my neighbours at 6am while i let it warm up with a full system.

I like the looks of the small (think it's called shorty?) M4 exhaust. I doubt it will be much louder at all running off the cat. But visually it would be better, but most likely I'll import a knock off from China since they're 1/4 the price and all the parts I've imported so far have been the same quality.

I'm planning on selling it in 2 years when the warranty is up and would most likely bolt all the stock parts back on. I tend to like purchasing stock second hand bikes rather than modded ones, even though I'd be putting all the mods on for whatever reason.

>I tend to like purchasing stock second hand bikes rather than modded ones, even though I'd be putting all the mods on for whatever reason.
I can understand that. You pretty much have to assume the person who attempted to install the mods was a retarded gorilla with nothing but an adjustable wrench and pliers. 90% of the work I've had to do to my used bikes is unfucking the previous owners' retardation.

>>16442133
Exactly that. Some of the things I've found on my old bikes made me really question some people.
>Exposed wires / shitty wiring
>One bike I got literally had 4 different spark plugs, wrong fuel pump (mind you it did to a degree work fine), one of the exhaust mounts that was hidden behind was made out of curtain railing. I didn't realise until a month after I brought it.
>Any advert I see that says "cool exhaust sounds aWEs0me" I instantly exit.

If I revert everything to stock and have the service history + sell off all the mods separately I probably will only lose a few grand after owning it 2 years which I'm fine with.

After I bought my CBR I realized the exhaust hanger was way too big for the muffler I have. I'm guessing someone replaced the big OEM can with the little one and didn't get a mount to go with it so he just king of put the original hanger on there even though it was way too big to be useful.
Desn't really hurt anything tho since it holds on well enough from the springs and clamp so whatever. I'll leave it like that until I get another stock exhaust.

Also my KLX came up with an aftermarket dash that was only halfway wired up and none of the indicators worked right.

Also half the dust seals on linkages and slide pins are damaged or gone.

Funnily enough the EXC is the cleanest bike I have ever bought from a craigslist seller, but it broke a compression ring a thousand miles later. I guess it was way overdue though since it had probably gone 40 times past the factory-specified service limit.

What are you looking at getting?

Forks and heads every 10k?

It isn't. People too lazy to learn braking should not bother with two-wheeled vehicles, but people are silly. Ignore them and ignore scooters.

>>16441203
>why even live
If you are that sensitive, stop living and thereby solve your problem.

>>16441415
Looks like it has issues with corrosion on the left of the picture and there's likely enough taper wear in the bore that if it were mine I'd take it to a machinist and have him fit an oversize piston.

Best for most people is let the shop that bores your cylinder order the new piston just in case they find an area DURING the bore job that requires going further oversize.

>>16442654
Replace fork oil and check headstock bearings.

>>16442654
>Forks and heads every 10k?
No. Why would they? I've been working on 1980s bikes since they were new and top ends rarely have durability issues. Forks are just forks and don't wear any quicker than later forks.

Most deadbikes die of abandonment and neglect when owner gets married and his life is over. Next most common is wrecks.

>>16444527
Yeah, fork oil should be replaced along with other fluids.

If the fork feels fine with no headstock play I'd not disturb it.

I'm 6'5 or 196cm and was wondering which racing or naked bikes I would be comfortable on. Also it has to be a light bike (max 35kW), not a 1000ccm or something like that becuase of laws here. I have a derbi terra 125ccm, but thats because its the only bike I've ever been comfortable on. Now I obviously want something with a bit more power.
