>>16712601
>740
Here's what you should do: secure more reasonable financing and buy a bike elsewhere, walk back into that dealer, talk to the guy, say you really want the bike, ask him what the interest rate was run at, "gee, sir, that's a little high," let him spill his excuses, then lock eyes with him and tell him, "Stop. You and Honda Finance are full of shit. This is the rate I got elsewhere. Go fuck yourself."

also while this quote is a far sight better than 17.8%, it still sucks
why

>>16713043
If you did the 4 yr option and are able to pay it off before 3 years that good enough.
You just don't have an extensive credit history, I got a 6% Apr having paid off 6 cars and 30+ homes...
You say you are 19 so I assume you just don't have a long credit history

Don't do it.

Sweet fresh meme! Don't forget to tip that fedora big guy

When is it time to sell a bike? I've got a year on my 250 firstbike.
I love the shit out of it and could never even consider selling it when I'm riding.
However I've got a cushy job and the idea of a supermoto or dualsport is extremely tempting. It's like I could be having even more fun than motoing is currently, but it's currently super fun already. Plus I hate treating my bike like a precious object and feeling awful when I drop it.
I have a car and no garage so two bikes is out of the question.

When to switch?

Full, half, or bullet.

>>16713238
Do you want a new bike? Then buy a new bike.

Also if you're on your first and only bike I would recommend doing it, odds are (now don't get offended by this, it's just a generalization) it's not as good as you think, it may even be shit, you've just got no frame of reference.

What do (you) think of this bike?
https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/mcy/6012829266.html

The mileage of course is very high, but everything being replaced makes me think it might not be so much of a problem. Owner seems pretty smart from the youtube video that he posted.

For background, I have been riding a 250 for a year now and want something faster in the 2000-3000 dollar range.

>>16713261
>it's not as good as you think, it may even be shit, you've just got no frame of reference.

Displacement doesn't really affect cost, in case you haven't noticed the mere double disparity between liters and 600s. R&D always costs the same.

It's important to keep a frame of reference.
If you're only riding twisties you'll be shit at reading traffic just like if you only ride highways you'll be shit at riding twisties.

Try going on a long trip.
It's not easy.
Riding a motorcycle for 6-8 hours in a day is exhausting, especially if you're going through multiple climates and dealing with traffic, construction, weather etc

I'm not saying you don't have a point but disparaging other riders for their preferences is pretty asinine.

You can make anything feel fast around a corner. Moreso when you're actually using the whole engine. But that's still "toy" thinking.
When was the last time you saw anything go 180mph on a public road? The standard 600 breaks highway speed in third gear.

Treating bikes like transport would bulk out sales to pay for further R&D. Making your penis pump go even faster.

I am still listening, though. Tell me how catering exclusively to the rich and stupid will save the demographically doomed US motorcycle market.

250s get shit fuel consumption and may even burn oil if you run them at normal civilzied highway speeds (85mph) for long periods of time. Engines aren't actually meant to be wrung out all the time.

What you're talking about isn't treating bikes as transport. It's the transport needs of bumfuck asia being less developed than the transport needs of texas, so they buy cheap shit bikes that get good mileage at the speeds they normally drive at (30mph).

Treating bikes as transport would be making them more convenient and functional for transportation, and holding off on the extreme suspension geometry and riding position that only makes sense on a paved track

Not making them all underpowered as fuck because asians don't have the autobahn, you hipster minimalist faggot.

I can do all three. However, do you want slaps, or die cuts?

I'll drop some ideas for die cuts, slaps are a little more tricky since it's hard to find something everyone likes. Getting to work on die cuts right now. If you have slap ideas, drop them.

Slaps are a full rectangular printed sticker, while die cuts are usually just text, with fancy outlines, or text inside rectangles.

That's a little too big for my skills, plus I'd need the exact size of particular bikes. Too much of a hassle, however, I could make mini ones that go right to the front of the bike.

So the Kanji and the other one (not sure what it's called) is correct?

This is the test.

What I can do is have them printed via dual layer, so one layer is black, and the other is white, or vice versa, and they can be stuck together, to give you the color combination you want. (Has to be done at printing time, it can't be done custom).

Something like this is what you had imagined?

Cultural differences. I'm not going to cry about living in a place where top highway speed is 70 instead.
The point is pushing something cheap and dipshit-useable to increase market size. Again, selling suicide machines only will just let the customer base age away.
Manufacturers need to appeal to the broke and crowded to see significant growth, instead of just swapping customers like you do cumshots.

tl;dr
Every rural joe who wants a bike already has one. So do all the rich douchebags. You can't attract people if you ignore where the people are.

It is an exaggeration, but the issue we're talking about is the cause of the drop. So long as this is a luxury, sales won't pick back up.

OK, but I'm also interested in increasing interest in fast bikes, not just commuters to subsidize fast bikes.

>Marketing manipulates culture
but it looks like your entire point is that marketing doesn't manipulate culture--that Suzuki can't market a Gixxer (as much) since the demand isn't already fundamentally there (as much as it used to be), but they CAN market a GW250 because the demand is there.

To add to this, I agree that this is important and more riders are a great step, but I've been coming at it (until now) from an angle of wanting to preserve hooning on bikes rather than bikes as such. A racebike in every garage and a track on every...well, you see the problem. Lots of hard-to-shape macro trends at work here. But starting bottom-up by pushing Groms and 250s could be a pretty good approach!

It's actually an extension of a hs-rail social initiative I was dicking around with in community college.
Motorbikes started as a "last mile" solution for me, but the social problems with lobbying both are similar. I started on a shitty scooter to test viability, but I'm only getting serious about lobbying this recently.
I'm pretty much scumming around the internet for research right now. Reading the hb after I finish this next java thing.

's pretty funny. The characters are kinda matched to design philosophy for the bike each rides.
Including nonsensical Suzuki fanatic and thick in the head honda rider.
People smear it as "cute for cute" Just watch more than the pilot.

The fuck is this shit? Which one of you autists made this?

Bakuon is excellent. You have to be into motorcycles to really appreciate it.

How is riding in the snow? Do you need different tyres or are knobbies fine? Looks like alot of fun, maybe a bit slippery

Yo!
I want a more comfy commute on a bike.

I have a 2015 cb500f.
Its flaws:
Very little wind protection
Highway speeds are near max rpm
Seated position feels odd
No luggage (backpack gets heavy when you cram 12 beers in it)

Looked at a 14 vfr800 dlx(new)
Felt really small
Legs felt cramped

Looked at 09 triumph Sprint st(15k miles)
Seat was amazing
Felt really big
Legs felt natural

Any other bikes I should look at?
Looking to sell my Cb and not spend anything extra.

>>16715132
BMW K75 or K100

>>16715132
You think that somebody is going to buy the 500? You can buy brand new left over models for 3k.

>>16714061
>20 bucks

>>16715147
Not that I can find. Found one like 350 mi away with 4x my mileage for $4500

>>16715156
Why would you want one? Just buy a used cbr600rr or gsxr600 for 3.5k

>>16715157
Because I don't want my wrists to hurt after a 30min commute?

What do you use the bike for? Distance for longest regular trip? Prefer regular controls, not forward?
The vfr1200 goes for the same price, used, w/ DCT if you buy from a non-honda dealer.
Further down, you could look at an older sv or cb750, slap some universal fairings on that bitch.
Katana are cheap too. Because nobody wants them.

Otherwise, pick an older cruiser and slap windjammer on that bitch. Again, a honda is unkillable, but suzuki is cheap.

Or, buy a versus/teniere like a bitch. They're popular.
Riiiiigghhhhhhhttt?

>>16715172
What a faggot, you sound like a beta cuck, my tiny baby wrist hurt so cant buy a fast bike. Just buy a harley you limp wristed cuckboi

>>16715183
>Versus/ teniere
