First for well timed thread ending

The CBR1000RR is the best beginner bike.

If you can't learn to lean on that you'd probably kill yourself trying to ride a scooter.

Second for thanks for fixing op, op.

fourth for no pics of bike

>what did u have to do to the bike
90 percent of the time, when it ran when parked, you need to clean the carburetors, occasionally replace all the rubber fuel lines, usually new battery, and other stuff. I also had to re-bleed the brakes and rebuild the clutch master cylinder.

>have u ever fixed a completely fucked bike some guy was selling on craigs for cheap
Define fucked. I won't touch anything that "was running but then the engine seized" but if it's just been parked for 5 to 20 years, you'll be fine. They are really simple to get working and are cheap to repair

>what dirtbike would u recommend as first bike
Pretty much anything from the 80s or 90s. If you want to ride on the road, pretty much any Japanese 80s road bike that has less than 750cc is a good idea.

>how long it take u to sell bike on average
A week or so. Study Craigslist, and watch what moves quick and how to write a good ad. The bike I posted was actually not that good looking but a decent picture makes a huge difference.

I picked this up for 800 dollars, put about 100 into it and rode it all over the West coast. I think I did about 12k miles in 10 months. If you just get out and ride, and ride often, you'll gain some skill to keep up with people in much quicker bikes.

>>16875047
This is the same bike, but 10 years newer to what I learned on. This would make a great first project. You can buy it for 400 or 450 and probably sell it for 1000 once it's running.

At the very least you need to clean the carburetor, and if you bring the tank to a radiator shop they will remove all rust and reseal it for 100 bucks

Beginner here. I'm going to buy my first bike. Decided on a 1998 Virago 250cc (Yamaha doesn't export newer models to my country). The exhaust pipe has some scratches but i'll replace it anyway.
The chain is brand new, so are the brakes.
Price is low for the year and Mileage. About 47000km.
Clutch and brakes seems fine if a bit wobbly but not too much for it to be a problem.

What do you guys think?

>>16875087
No one is going to buy that for 1000

>>16875089
That's a fair amount of miles for a little 250.

>>16875093
A working, riding, street legal motorcycle that has had a lot of maintenance done will fetch a grand. You could list it for 1150 and it should sell for 1k

>>16875087
I guess it would be a learning experience trying to figure out how to fix it and get it running. i'll look into it. it's like an hour and a half away tho but i guess it's worth it

>>16875021
>fixing op
>/dbt/ not in subject field

>>16875095
47000km is about 29200 miles. Kind of low in the market since there isn't anything newer than 2001 here (´・ω・`)

>>16875044
>Emotions are for women and traps. Which are you?
I can't take seriously a middle aged person who states something out of the diary of an edgy kid.
>Going by that logic all cars should be banned because they do more damage than a relatively light motorcycle. Your emotion-driven risk assessment isn't supported by statistics of US vehicle accidents.
>going by that logic
What logic? The one attribute me, apparently?
I only ever said I don't want a kid riding a busa.

>>16875095
>if it's running it's worth 1k+
Thats not how it works.
It's a shit bike with questionable maintenance, even after you swap the tanks and clean carbs. It's still not worth more than 300$

>>16875089
A 250cc cruiser is several orders of magnitude slower than a 250cc sportbike/sport standard. In fact, it's slower than most recent econoboxes, and handles worse than them too.

Why not just buy a car, roll the windows down, and drive around on slicks to simulate the precarious traction situation?

I'll keep looking but that's probably the easiest bike in the world to make work. I was pretty hammered whenever I touched mine and somehow I got it to work, which is incredible because I didn't know shit then.

>>16875118
Where do you live?

Also if you fit it, you might as well. Those bikes are tiny.

>>16875122
What you think it's worth, and what bikes actually sell for is a whole different story. It might not be a great bike, but that easily will sell for a grand.

>>16875133
Did you get that tattoo today?

>>16875119
A busa is probably the tamest "hypersport" there is. It has a built in power limiter. Nobody uses it, but it's there. I saw a kid ride a busa once anyways. 10mph around a corner cars go around at 40. Top lel. Talk about respecting the machine.

I'm more worried about kids on 250-500cc shitbikes cranking the throttle and then learning their "SHARP HANDLING TRACK WEAPON!!!1!!" isn't magic and T boning my car in a corner, or worse, cranking the throttle, then cranking the bars for maximum countersteering, and then cranking the throttle some more until they lowside and end up under a semi

Hell one of the Italian anons was pissed his government pissed a law stating that you had to be a certain distance away from a bicyclist if you want to pass them.

We don't have too many laws, we have wrong laws. Having said that I'm happy that kids don't get to ride supersports.
>relying on the government to regulate your life and we think that's stupid.
Society exists for that reason. You're taken a part of your freedom to live in a better place.

From my point of view someone who gets taken less freedom but doesn't even get anything out of it is the cucked one.

If we're talking motorcycles, they're not part of your natural rights, it's not your right to ride whatever you want at your conditions. This is a fact.
Can our law be better? Yes. Do I want an equivalent to the US one? No.
In the end a two tiers license system should be good enough and the age limits should be 16-18 or 19. It should also be possible to pay to do something like an in depth skill test to be able to ride powerful machines sooner.


The real big problem in my county is not about licenses, it's about vehicle modifications. Now that's a real strike on freedom for no reason whatsoever.

Maybe get a 600 first. Or at least ride one and see if it's enough for you. You have no idea what power is yet. It helps to learn good cornering and throttle control on something that's a little more forgiving with throttle response. The liter bike is much more fun when you can ride it properly.

Thoughts on moving from ninja 300 to current year zx10r? I know it's a massive step up in power, but will the low power mode (60%) be able to help in transitioning?

>>16875893

Fz1 isnt a tame bike, but it's not a death sentence either. The smart choice is to get something like an fz8 or fz6 instead, just because you don't have a lot of experience with powerful bikes, but if you really want the fz1 go for it

>>16876060
Yeah I did about 130 ish miles on Sunday. It's pretty damn comfy. I need to week on my posture though because you can get caught slouching on it easy. Overall, it's pretty comfortable though

I guess the only non hipster options are just the XRZ, CB and XSR then.

I got it up today dbt I really did it but only for a second and my balls hurt after
I recently put the stock sprocket back on my DR350, feels NICE. I was dicking around and jerked the throttle in 1st, got the wheel up a foot then I immediately let off. So this is how it begins. Kinda spooky though because I don't have a small dirt bike to practice on and I've seen too many vids of people looping. I feel like it's too risky since I don't have any muscle memory built with tapping the rear brake and all on something more expendable.

Price, performance (weight, power, components) and style.

No specific order. If I weren't a poorfag I'd leave out price.

I'm the same anon from earlier in the weekend thinking about picking up an Indian scout 60.

I talked to three motorcycle guys I know and they all pretty much turned me off from Indian mainly citing price, unreliability and questionable longevity of brand presence.

From my research over the weekend I learned Polaris is the new owners of Indian and are going to use it to replace their Victory brand, but I could not find any information about reliability of their newer models. Does anyone have any information about their reliability history? Also, what other options do I have besides a Scout 60? I want a nice sportster that I can cruise around on but nothing too big so I can ease my way into the feel of bigger bikes. I can always trade up after a few years.

>>16876886
Did the guys you talk to ride Harley's by any chance?

>>16876734
For the sake of giving you varied answers, I'll say:
>reliability, research bike specific problems
>how big of a following (online forums, repair manuals, aftermarket support)
>power and weight/other performance info
>styling
I prefer comfy twisties on a Sunday, then putting down some dirt trails before heading back into town because I ride a dual sport.
Styling comes last for me but it's part of my attachment to the bike. I buy used but I don't want any bikes with shitty spray paint jobs for instance. The closer to stock, the better.

>>16876896
One rides purely sport and dislikes the cruiser his Father in law left him. The other currently rides a Victory or Honda but wants a Harley, and lastly the last one rides a Victory I'm pretty sure.

I know Indian is the main competitor against Harley's for people wanting "American made" bikes but I feel very confident they didn't give me too much of biased answers. I'm coming to this thread to try and get some straight forward answers or directed to where I may find more and better results on my questions.

I really like that Scout 60 but I don't want to waste money on it if it's going to be unreliable as fuck

>I want a nice sportster that I can cruise around on but nothing too big so I can ease my way into the feel of bigger bikes. I can always trade up after a few years.
Why not start with a Jap cruiser? Honda Shadow 800, Kawasaki Vulcan 750 or 800.

There was a consumer reports reliability study on motorcycles, and Victory had less failures after 4 years of ownership than harley did; Comparable to some of the Japanese bikes (which are the most reliable). Indian is made by Polaris (same company as Victory) so they should be pretty good.

I'll be honest. I'm not the biggest fan of their looks and I feel like their engines will be very under powered. I'm coming from a Ninja 650, not the fastest but had enough kick for a first bike. I'm staying open minded to all brands but will be using the Japanese brands sort of as a last resort. Put it this way, I'd heavily consider a larger engine size that I would work my way into over time than start with what I feel like would be an under powered and unstylish sportster type.

It's all frustrating really because one of the guys just says to get a sports bike and the other two are think it's silly to get a smaller sized engine. All I'm going to do is ride it on the weekends around a nearby state park and on the interstate to relieve stress. I don't need something to take me from CA to FL.

>>16876949
Where do you commute to? Aren't you living in Bologna already?

>>16876975
This is what I found earlier today which makes me want to believe Indian is in good hands but unfortunately I was unable to find anything specifically for the Indian brand and it's newer recent models.

>>16876910
A smaller Harley would be the Softail or Fat Boy
The Scout kinda looks bulky

>>16877009
Yea I like the softtail but the 1600cc engine scares me a bit and I'm not to biggest guy either and with it weighing in at over 700lbs it seems big for me.

>5'7" 170lbs

>>16876971
They be gaybois

Whenever I come across other bikers riding, they do some arm thing at me

what the fuck is that

>>16877021
If you're 5'7" like me then i think the Scout would be too big to be comfortable. Unless you changed the handlebar or something

>>16877043
I plan to go sit on one this week, probably Thursday. I sat on an Iron 883 and 1200 custom last week and both felt fine, with the Iron feeling much more comfortable.

Edgy band shirt and wearing Vans
What an outfit for riding

Sadly, the Torocharger is long out of production. And I'm not even going to pretend I have the mechanical (and flow modelling) acumen to budge together a pump + kit on my own.

>>16877125
>Butthurt dirtbike redneck is still mad that somebody dosent like his truck or pos dirt bikes.

Harleys excepted if cheap enough and you are or want to become a mechanic. Their aftermarket support makes it practical. Since you post Harleys it's worth remembering that it's difficult to make an HD unfixable unless it melts in a respectable fire.

>>16876575
I don't hang around next to people in my car. I'll either speed up or slow down to not be in a blind spot.

I'd say we meet at Garda.

My grandma's got a house in Brentonico but since I haven't been talking to my mom in 2 years I don't really feel like asking her the keys.
