1. untrue, in fact he got rides on 500cc bikes based on his style rather than his actual performance and journalists and photographers loved it.

2. That's not why ben spies has that nickname.

It's because look at his fucking elbows.

Okay I found a dirt bike that was small. What do you think of this one? It says it's for kids and I feel like i would look kind of goofy on it...

>>16697270
How big? I'm not really sure how you measure motorcycle sizes

>>16697258
If it doesn't have at least 598cc's its not a real motorcycle and you will learn nothing of worth riding it.

600cc sports biek

>>16697272
Start with a VFR800, and if you can pick it up with good technique, go bigger

>>16697258
Not that small. Has to be a real bike, nothing under 1200cc will do for a first bike.

>>16697271
Manitoba actually, Ontario is dirt cheap by comparison.

Really? These ones are like 1/10th that size... That seems kinda crazy to me

>>16697276
So you think I should get the dirtbike, right? I like the way it looks and it's pretty cheap, so maybe I'll get that one

yeah if you just want a little bike to fuck around on, its not street legal or anything, but xr50/crf50 (same thing) is fine

>>16697297
aint nobody got time fo dat

>>16697297
Trip derp

>>16697306
So the dirtbike isn't street legal I guess yeah, but could I ride it home on the shoulder? The guy is only 25 miles away, but it's on the highway

>>16697290
No, the other "picking it up".

Also VTAK doesn't fucking kill you. You'll bottom out the retardedly soft suspension before anything if you corner hard enough for it to matter.

>>16697299
Gear driven cams are cool too. Last gen vfr750 also looks like an nr

>>16697315
Gear driven cams are added weight and fucked valvetrain harmonics because honda couldn't figure out how to make a reliable chain-timed system on a V4 for about a decade

The only pro is not having to replace a chain every 150k miles, but even then, aren't VFRs chain primaries too?

>>16697297

yeah yeah. It's a "sport-tourer". Which is what I wanted. It's still more of a sport bike than any cruiser I've ever had.

>>16697352
I'm 6'8" and 330lbs, get rekt

>>16697343
Remember to lock the front wheel and aim for any gravel that may be present.

>>16697323
Not true.

>>16697364
>>16697343

Need to do a front and rear CBR1000RR SP fork and shock swap on it then have the forks and shocks worked over and resprung by racetech for it to be any good.

This is bare minimum before its even rideable in the twisties.

>>16697376
>Cruisers
When did you decided to stop being gay and getting fucked by niggers.

>>16697376
Why not go from sportster to a bagger or dresser?

>>16697379
Or just trade it for the 1000RR and put some bar risers and an aftermarket seat on that, and call it a VFR

>>16697297
the fuck is that?

>>16697379
So what do you mean by "rideable?" I've seen footage of guys flying through twisties just fine, and track stuff too, with just the stock Interceptor. You have to remember, I've been dragging pegs through twisties for 10 years. My pegs were so worn down, they were like tanto blade tips on the ends. And now that I've been riding this Interceptor some, I'm taking turns literally twice as fast as I EVER could before. I think you guys might be spoiled by higher end sport bikes. Like when the wifi goes out and the millennials just can't even.

>>16697403
your funeral.

>>16697398
>why not go from a shit bike to an even worse bike

the real question is why he didn't get a hayabusa instead of a baby hayabusa

>>16697403
all those guys you saw either have Ohlins fork swaps or Ohlins internals in their forks.

Not rideable otherwise.

>>16697398
I always wanted a "sportier" bike. I had a bagger, got bored with it. Don't get me wrong, it was a great bike. I just don't get the time anymore to do long distance rides, so I don't really need an all out bagger.

to anybody who saw my post about rotating the engine on my buell, i finally got the new gaskets in and bolted it back together.

question though, my valve stem wasn't exactly lined up with my rocker arm when i went to put the rocker boxes back on.

we put pressure on it with the rocker barely contacting the valve stem, and pushed it into alignment (heard a metallic noise as we did).

i ran the bike out for 15 minutes around town, and it seems fine. am i fine or did i fuck up?

I was about 165 when I joined the military.

>>16697403
If you push it too hard it'll just lowside because the forks and shock are too soft for rebound to keep up, even with it turned up as stiff and bouncy as possible

It's literally not designed for hard riding. It's made for moderate riding and looking like a sportbike.

Is that a new line of Ohlins suspension internals? If not then it's of no help to anyone on a VFR

>>16697431
Well, hell. That actually works for me for now. I'm just commuting right now. But I do appreciate the pointers before I go do something on it that I shouldn't be. I still think it's more than capable enough for what i need. I've never even been to the track before, and have no desire to. Also, I live down in TX where there's not much for twisties anyways. I just ride a little more aggressive than the average biker down here, besides the damn Bandidos that run around here. I was wondering if I could continue to safely throw the bike around as harder or harder than I have been on my Sportster.

>>16697446
You need to work that back more senpai.

Opinions on Kawasaki GPZ750's? I have my eyes on this 85' model and it looks nice. How will it feel while riding and how is the relaiability and maintenance on these bikes?

What if its not custom and came from factory cause 'special edition'
I hated the flames but they look aight in person.

Honestly probably going to get some aftermarket wannabe racerboi fairings just incase I fuck up so when it comes time to move up I can just throw the OEMs back on

>>16697522

Hey, don't sweat it, at least you ride. Like you said, change the fairings out, maybe paint it, who knows. At least in the meantime you get to reap that extra +5HP from those sweet flames.

>>16697463
be prepared to spend money on the following
>fork rebuild, new seals and oil, may as well put emulators in while you're at it
>brakes, new lines, fluid, and pads front and rear. Caliper and mastercylinder rebuilds possibly necessary as well.
>Inspect rotors and replace as necessary
>oil change and filter
>take steering head apart and check bearings, replace and lube as necessary
>clutch inspection, replace as necessary
>new actuation cables and adjusting levers
>disassemble swingarm and relube all bearing points for rear suspension, replace bearings as needed
>new tires, check wheels for runout and roundness while you're at it.
>check wheel bearings, replace as necessary
>inspect chain and sprockets, replace all as necessary. I would replace anyway
>ensure proper sprocket alignment
>inspect cush drive and replace as necessary

That's about it. All of that is really something you should do on any used bike you buy, especially if it's older than 10 years.

>>16697540
You inquire about a loan, then you go to a dealership and buy.

Depends on how stable your job is and how good of an interest rate you can get

>>16697526
whatever you do, keep the OEM fairings with decals on them, keeps resale value up

>>16697540
?? I always finance unless I buy off craiglist/family member.

Just go to the dealer and tell them you want to finance. But also call up your bank and see what their rates would be.

I also always go for the 72 month financing lol. Only because I have the money stashed to pay it off over halfway through its term, so I get rid of the payment soon, but have low monthly payments in the meantime.

lol, now you're reaching hard. You haven't even seen my back to draw any conclusions.

Obviously I'm bottom heavy (large legs, spinal erectors, hamstrings, etc) and have big shoulders, and traps, i.e. the body of someone that deadlifts and squats a lot. That's pretty much the complete opposite of people after 'aesthetics'.

I also sprint and to plyo. This is stark contrast to the "big shoulders, big back, big chest, small legs small waist" line of thinking of people going after aesthetics. I also hover right around 12-15% bodyfat and dont try to cut any lighter than that as someone would who's chasing a beach body.

they're not necessary for most track riding even depending on your level and bike obviously, more relaxed geometry needs them less.

They're designed to mitigate head shake from accelerating out of corners which most riders just don't ride hard enough to require.

I've never once thought I needed one when riding track on my bike.

>>16697756
Nothing wrong with the big FZ, there's a really good track coaching school in CA that likes to use them actually.

Fa Goots,

I'm gonna taking a basic rider course class and im in the market for a bike. I was thinking a 883 harley sportster but after reading how much of a edgy douche someone could look riding one I've been thinking of a sports bike. I read the sticky cause im not an enormous faggot and the it recommended to get a smaller bike. But I have no clue what to get. My courses are in May so I have plenty of time to think about what bike I want to get. Any suggestions and things I need to look-out for when I'm searching for a bike?

TLDR; babby's first bike. What should I get?

>>16697987

>>16698010
does it have green or red sticker?

>>16698018

>>16698021

>>16698018
883 is fine, but if you are getting your first bike and want a cruiser, you are better off getting a used Honda Shadow VT750. A lot cheaper to buy and maintain, better mileage and you won't feel like a dick for laying it down if you do so.

>>16698018
what do you want to do on it?
run around town? road trips? hooning?

>>16698030
>green sticker

>>16698021
>living in a shit tier state controlled by squirrel squeezers

>>16698018
The only edgy douches are people who give a shit about what others ride. Get whatever you like. The 883 is a "big" bike in that it's kinda heavy and has a lot of cc's, but isn't THAT fast and is decently easy to handle given its low center of gravity (don't confuse that with good handling, though).

Anything that you can put your feet down on, handle the weight of, and feel confident with the controls of, that doesn't have so much power that you'll end up in a tree if you get a little happy with the throttle (which is easy on a fast bike).

>>16698003

sport touring, naked or adv bike
google them and see what type looks the best to you then we can help you refine choices from there

Virginia has a lot of tracks, georgia has a lot of tracks, but that doesn't make a state good for riding.
>shit drivers
true. Cali drivers are pretty good, but most back roads have no drivers
>hipster faggots everywhere
only in portland, the rest of oregon is farm country with killer cascade mountain ranges, literally the same coastal highway as california, cheaper gasoline, better quality road surface (not nearly as many cracks and shit asphalt) and the fact that the state has an extremely low population density compared to california makes it killer for riding.

I do miss it. California is great, I miss the bay area a bit, but oregon was riding nirvana.

It's proper comfy at my parents' place. They have an 80s primer gret CCLB diesel dually GMC too. It hasn't been driven in awhile I think it had a bunch of blowby or something. It's the trucker model with a stock CB.

They will wheelie very well, wheelies are about technique and you'll find people who are good at wheelies can do blocks on a 50cc bike.

I live in australia, it just seems like, as an outsider, california looks like the place to be.

Georgia would be my second pick for proximity to road atlanta, barber MSP and tail of the dragon.

the cost is massive, no joke. It is a great state to live in if you can afford it, but it's not 2.5x better than OR or WA. PNW is honestly one of the coolest parts of america.

The only time you notice the size is in super tight turns or long swoopy curves. But you never feel like you're top heavy or have a tractor under you

He told me I'm getting the GN if he ever decides to get rid of it. I guess some guy offered to buy it and he told him to fuck off kek

Whats another bike similar to the ZRX1200? Modern and decent handling but has that 80's sportbike aesthetic and is comfy for longer rides.

I'd probably just keep it stock and fix the paint. I'd never LS swap it. I'm not a monster

>>16698329
how in the fuck do you do that and stock sprockets or no do you think?

>>16698448
Of those the only one that really hits his aesthetic is the CB1100. And even then thats more late 70's early 80's UJM than mid to late 80's sportbike.

599 and 919 are both modern nakeds
XRS900 is faux cafe racer hipster trash
>implying moto guzzi
Duc 1000GT is just another 70's something inspired hipster trash bike.

>>16698510
rev the piss out of it, destroy your clutch, and yank it up all at once.

this is LA desert somewhere right?

>>16698643
A lot of motovloggers live in Socal

LA doesn't have a desert, but the greater LA area has some nice arid hill areas to hooligan around in

>>16698664
yeah its not literally LA but you know what i mean

Would hitting the gym lead to less injury in a crash? More muscle mass for padding and extra bone density to stop bone from snapping would help right?

>>16698674
The greater LA area is pretty fucking awesome, within 2 hours you an go from cruising along the beach on the pacific coast highway to being up in the fresh mountain roads doing twisties.

and of course lanesplitting is actually legal here

>>16698729
or within 2 hours you can go from cruising along the pacific coast highway to cruising along the pacific coast highway because loltraffic

No, you need to become fatter to cushion the impact

Joey Mac lives in Nuevo CA.

He rides in the hills east of Perris, around Hemet, and south near Lake Elsinore and Temecula.

Most of the time he's right around Nuevo though. Lots of good riding out there.

>>16698749
No can do. Fat will ruin my power to weight without the positives of muscle weight.

>>16698584
60's and 70's styled bikes are tryhard bullshit trying to capitalize on the hipster infested """cafe racer""" and """scrambler""" """craze""".

A bike that reminds of the 80's harkens back to the formative years of the modern sportbike, where chassis geometry, power, and ergonomics were just starting to transition from the UJM standard to what is ideal for outright performance, and bikes started to care about aerodynamics.

Hipsters don't like 80's sportbikes thus they aren't hipster trash.

Most factory retro bikes are because Japan has had a never ending hardon for 70s and 80s standards, we just happen to get -some- of them.

Exactly how is UJM practical ergos and space combined with a mean muscle bike motor and competent suspension in any way "useless"?
