What seems to be the problem?

My local community college offers riding classes for beginners.
I was considering taking it, then getting myself a nice beginners bike just to get back and forth from school (~10 miles each direction).

I had looked at the Honda Rebel 500, but people said they were very under-powered.
Are they so under-powered that I couldn't cruise at like 55? Is the Rebel a decent bike for beginner? How about the Honda Shadow?

I was just looking for something small, lightweight, and low to the ground (which everything I've ever read said a beginner should look for).

>>16740506
m8 a 125 can cruise at 55

>>16740506
They mostly talk about passing speed and shit.

>>16740506
A rebel 500 should be able to get like 100 mph dude

a google search shows that a Rebel 250 takes 15 seconds to get to 60mph and has a top speed of 85mph. I'd say a 500 would be a tad faster than that

>>16740506
A rebel 500 will have 50hp and 400lbs

That's gonna be about a 5 second 0-60 which is quick

Should I buy a junk bike, and fix it up?

Never touched a motorcycle in my life.

Have slight mechanical experience doing generic stuff on cars.

I think I'd be more comfortable working on something smaller like a motorcycle, and I could fix it up and potentially ride it.

>>16740553
Make sure you can find parts for it.

My XJ550 still doesn't have a gas tank because they're like finding gold bars for less than $200 on ebay.

>>16740553
Working bikes are cheap enough already.

>>16740553
A 2-stroke has less parts and is more exiting to ride. Get one of those if you can.

>>16740506
It''s not that bad of a bike. it doesnt accelerate quickly. get a motorcycle for your needs. i was thinking about buying a Duke 390 for college. for both commuting, fun and i wont die when i go on the freeway with a 125cc

Follow up.

If I take a dirt bike without any lights or anything, are they pretty easy to attach and hook up, for brakes and turn signals and shit?

>>16740625
no fuck you i can't have a nice 250cc two stroke engine in the land of the free. my scoot is a four stroke 125cc.

"The driver of a motorcycle or a person riding a bicycle facing any steady red signal, which fails to change to a green light within a reasonable period of time because of a signal malfunction or because the signal has failed to detect the arrival of the motorcycle or bicycle because of its size or weight, shall have the right to proceed after stopping, yielding the right-of-way to any vehicle in, near, or approaching the intersection; to pedestrians lawfully crossing the intersection within an adjacent crosswalk; and to any other traffic lawfully using the intersection."

it's legal to run red lights if you're on a motorcycle.

Abrasion, sure, but that's not the thing that wrecks feet. High-top leather sneakers would offer enough abrasion resistance for the large majority of motorcycle traffic accidents, it's mainly the ankle joint and crushing forces the boots are designed to protect against.

Confession: Riding for 23 years now. Usually get a new lid every 3 years.

Have done touring in 90F+ heat many times. I have never removed and washed a helmet liner. Nor do I have some weird skin infection or odd funk either. If you are really concerned just get a helmet liner/skullcap and put that on then put your helmet on.

>>16741947

To be fair I wasn't really pushing anything, I was going like 5 over. There was a manhole cover and I tapped the rear brakes to avoid it and realized I wasnt gonna make the turn outside the cover so grabbed a fistful of front brakes like a true 300 rider and ate shit

Nah it was just that it was really fucked up right around the cover, not really a pothole but shitty surface so I tried to go around it and couldn't make the turn with a wierd apex like that so I tried to slow down and locked up back tire and then panicked and grabbed more front brake than I should have.
Maybe I'll draw a picture

Unfortunately you didn't die in the crash, but it's not too late to do god's job and finish it yourself.

bought an 85 virago 700 it was running good till it was parked last night, now it wont start? charging the battery right now and changed the battery cable ends since those were corroded, switched the ground from crankcase to the frame itself.

when i first tried starting it this morning before putting in work it was cranking but doesnt turnover and was cranking only for a second must be dead battery, checked the connections and one of the cable ends snapped

how fucked am i

Just got my first helmet in the mail, and it's a bit uncomfortable. It's a large scorpion 710, but the opening is very small and a bit hard to slide into, and there's a lot of pressure. Is this a case of needing to getting used to something new, or is it too small?

>>16742410
My thought exactly...
Hes so new that hes afraid to corner over a manhole cover. The fuck?

>>16742452
just keep putting it on and off, after about 50 times the pads get broken in and it's comfy

Try hooking your car up to it with jumper cables. If it starts normally, then your battery is fuckered. If it does the same thing, it could be the switch, the solenoid or the starter.

This is why people should start on a 125. 300s are way too much power for the average person and this is bound to happen. Look at all these fast 300cc bikes that new riders buy because they want to "grow into" their bike.

Remember, surviving isn't the goal, learning to ride is. Starting on anything more than a 125cc is way too dangerous to justify and now you've wasted a bunch of money because you just HAD to jump instantly to one of those rockets making 42hp. My car makes 48hp and you're buying something way smaller and lighter with that much to learn on and expecting not to get into trouble?

People should be limited to good bikes like the grom which make a much more tame 8 horsepower so they can learn instead of dying. I'm glad you're alive anon, but I hope this is a lesson. At least now since you crashed you should be safe getting a leaderbike.

80cc
125cc
250cc single
250cc twin
300cc single
300cc twin
250cc 4cyl
350cc single
350cc twin

500ccs is already WAY too much power for a beginner, and a 600cc bike? Would you start your child driving in a formula 1 car?

Nobody can handle that amount of motorcycle. You should start on a 125cc and all you need is a 250cc ptwin. Anything more than that is simply too much for the street or any normal person.

How do you stupid americans even advocate to start on those death rockets? It takes at least 30 years of riding daily to build your skills up to the level it would take to handle one of those monstrosities.

Honda PCX 125, one of the best scooters you can get

But I have a serious question about the bike i am going to get, the CBR125

Is there any major difference after 2008 in the models? I know that 2007 they started building them with fuel injection , but is there any real benefit to getting a more modern one?

There is a big jump between 50 and 125, and a huge one to 300

a 50cc bike can't make highway speeds, a 125 can without really giving you too much speed to allow for hooning. a 300 is capable of going proper fast and is a LOT less forgiving compared to a 125.

>>16742789
except nobody is saying any of that, stop trying to reduce arguments when you can't argue against them.

A 125 has a top speed of between 100 and 120 kph, a 300 has a top speed of 190. It is a very bad idea for somebody new to biking to be able to ride a bike well over the speed limits.

a 50cc can only reach about 60kph which does not allow for highway use so is not fit for purpose as a real commuter in the same way as a 125

Ligher bikes are also easier to handle and are far more forgiving to beginners with poor throttle control and handling.

I actually think there's real merit to this discussion from a wider societal view.
If, instead of a screaming metal death machine, we stuck teenagers on shitty underpowered scooters; they would start their driving career with better situational awareness.
At a reasonable age, open things up to smaller shitboxes and highway capable bikes. Then at consent make whatever vehicle available.

Along with stringent license testing, both car and bike culture could be made much safer. And the proliferation of crappy bikes restores a pyramid shape to the market. More capital for supersport research. (Further advancing tech used in all sizes)

Not very, occasionally and I mean rarely, they should be cleaned. A DRZ being a thumper has one carb, super easy to take out, clean, and reinstall.

>>16743078
>Where will you be when the drugs kick in?

And you think it's better to impose restrictions rather than education?

Also modern superbikes and especially the H2R have electronics that won't let the bike wheelie or the tire to spin at all.

>>16743022
becasue going over 200kph is totally what a new rider needs from a bike

>>16743083
good.

>>16743079
Probably some but not a whole lot. If the shock isn't the right length it will make it worse. If the GS500's shock angle or leverage is different than that of the R6 it will probably be worse. Suspension systems are far too complex to just swap on "better" parts all willy nilly and expect it to work better on a different bike.

>>16743097
yes.

>>16743079
Odds are it will get worse, just buy a better bike.

Nobody needs to be riding a motorcycle in the first place

>>16743097
Just because the bike has the capability to go fast doesn't mean it will on its own. No matter what it comes down to the restraint and maturity of the rider; if a learner decides it's somehow intelligent to either:
A) purchase a high-displacement bike and rip around on it right away, or
B) purchase a less-powerful bike but still think it's intelligent to ride beyond his/her limits
then chances are they're the type of person that would find a way to get themselves hurt or killed on a 50cc too. Either way, blame is on them and it's what they get for not realizing the excessive danger they're putting themselves in.

It's common fucking sense to know that maybe you shouldn't rip down the neighborhood at 120mph on your 1000cc race bike you bought cause "It's totally gonna pull mad pussy bro"

>>16743231
Keeping the original shock isn't neglect. Keep it rideable but I wouldn't bother spending money on upgrades. When you can afford an upgrade, buy another used bike in whatever variety you want. Then sell your GS to another beginner on Craigslist because it's objectively the best beginner bike.

>MANUAL BIKES ARE INTIMIDATING

Fuck off cuck if it ain't manual its not a bike.

>>16741947
I handed washed it, but it'd prolly be fine on gentle and letting it air dry.
If you still have the booklet that came with your helmet, it'll tell you how to remove all the junk and put it back.

>>16743282
>Manual bikes are intimidating
kys cuck, no clutch means not a bike.

>>16743273
I don't think that dude has a 600. He said he's saving for an FZ6.
>short gearing is a good thing on a 600
It allows you to get into the meat of the power slightly earlier but once you're at 40mph+ it really doesn't help any. What sucks is the gear ratios on 600s are super close so you have to deal with 6000+ RPM the whole time you're on the highway if you ever just cruise along at 70+ MPH. It only gets worse when you gear it down.

Guess my DCT bike is twice as much of a bike as yours then

>>16743255
Its not annoying.
Just cruising away from a stop ill get to 3rd before the end of the intersection, but you don't really think about it.
First gear is the only wierd one, tops out around 35mph, second I can ride up to 60 something.
But honestly you get used to it. No biggie.

>>16743298
Bikes like that are pointless since they don't meet the other requirements required for 125cc babbies. So you end up with a bike not legal for beginners and useless for experienced riders.

>>16743287
You're seriously over thinking it.
Don't even worry about it. The intruder Is a shaft drive anyway so there's no sprockets to change out.

it's literally a no compromise road legal GP bike
99% of Americans wouldn't be able to race one of these

>>16743287
It's not too bothersome, the only transmission thing I don't like is that the shifter and brake pedals are so close to that l the peg and my feet are so big that someone's the shifter cog doesn't reset so it's as if I'm stuck in the same gear. I just have to be conscious of fully moving my feet down.

More accurate. We don't accept those cuck bikes here

Who the fuck wants a 125cc go bike for the road? If this was such a desirable niche, the market would be flooded.

>>16743337
*slaps cheeks* yeah brother, you tell him. Fire up that v12 boss hoss brother. It's time to go smash some straight lines

>>16743328
>no compromise
>33hp at 2 bajillion rpm
Sounds like a gigantic fucking compromise to me. Why would anyone choose one of these as a road bike when they're not legally restricted to it?

>>16743326
So basically

Sorry to disappoint you but fast bikes can also turn really fucking well. The "smaller displacement means im a cornering god" meme can end now.

Lmao is that the fucking iron cross? What kind of person puts that on their bike?

>>16743352
Nobody did because they're shit road bikes

>>16743391
Use 500 grit to sand down through clearcoat to paint, repaint with black, then wetsand to blend with 800-1000 grit, and clearcoat.

Then just even it all out by wetsanding with some 2000 grit.

>>16743391
Depends what it's painted on with.
Start with rubbing alcohol, then maybe repolish and wax.
>>16743398
My dad has a fat boy, for a cruiser it's niiice. He disapproves of my soon to be fz6 purchase of course.

Put him on a V65. He'll see the light.

>>16743436
Go ahead and keep posting giant scooters, you're just proving yourself stupider.

>>16743361
A bike has 2 wheels and a manual transmission, that's it, there are no other requirements, don't get butthurt because you bought a glorified scooter.

>>16743423
looks like the paint is under the clear coat so I doubt I can just cover it up. It also appears to be a repainted fairing based on some red showing through where it's scratched and cracked elsewhere.

>>16743420
Fug.
What kind of paint to use? Normal spray paint or that super expensive "automotive" paint? Will this retain a glossy finish after I sand and repaint it?

>>16743436
>>16743422
But this 79cc motorcycle, this is a REAL bike! 4 speed manual transmission, 7 horse power, yep this is a real bike for real bikers!

Use 2-stage paint and clearcoat otherwise it'll come out shitty. Rustoleum is garbage and I wouldn't recommend for something that big.

It will be matte-looking after you finish the final sand. You need to buff with compound and swirl remover to get gloss. DO NOT WAX IT for at least a month after you repaint.

With that said it may also just be painted on top of the original coat, which really means just sanding it off and re-clearcoating.

with all of this said, you could just get an aftermarket set of fairings from the chinks on ebay for $150. With the paint and sandpaper I'd ballpark maybe $40 but a lot more time and effort.

Your money and time, your choice.

I don't think he would switch over for good. but if I can get him to pick up a second bike, he could hit the twisties with me.
>>16743450
>looks like the paint is under the clear coat
You're gonna have to repaint probably, some rattle cans are good but id sand and repaint the whole fairing.
>prep is 99% of the work.
Don't skimp on it.

i dont even have a bike and have been shitposting and making anons sperg for over 5 years.

>>16743471
The fairings are looking really rough anyway. I don't need it to look perfect. I just want to get that logo off that the previous owner painted on it. Partially because I think he might still live in town and probably still has a key to it so I don't want him to recognize it and take off with it.

>chink fairings for $150
Already looked at that. It's about $300 for a set and I don't have much money to spend right now anyway. I guess I'll start with sanding and see what I end up with.

Also not sure what 2-stage paint was but I googled it and it's rather expensive.

>>16743478

Thats what trips are for
But it IS an anon image board so its a little conflicting

What's the year and model of the bike?

Even better if you have a paint code

>>16743518
2001 CBR600F4i.
>paint code
As in the paint the manufacturer used? no idea. This definitely isn't factory paint.
