Re-Re-REEE-Repost

Guys, I need help

First of all I'm going to buy my first bike soon and I don't really have much money, will be using my scholarship and some help from my mother

Things to consider:
>It's my FIRST bike
>I like """cruiser""" type and can't spend more than 2,000 - 2,500 USD on it (40,000 MXN ~)
>My "go to" are Suzuki GZ150 and Bajaj Street 220 (Something like a VStar is way out of my range price, it costs the double)
>I live in a third world country (México) so I don't have many options available here
>Wanna buy a new one because used ones are almost always very poorly maintained because they don't even give a single fuck about them
>I will be only using it for going to college (Really, nothing else)
>I won't need more than 250cc because traffic

What do? Do you have any other options, advice? Should I an hero?

How does i?

>>16904898
What is this

How bouncy is the rear shock of a typical sport bike? My F4i rebounds really harshly. Not sure if that's an issue with my shock, or if I'm just too used to the heavily dampened suspension of dirt bikes.

>>16904926
Make a scooter? same way you make a monkey bike

>>16904886
Get a honda shadow for less than 2k Usd all day. 750 or 1100. Also rebel. Also suzuki savage.

>>16904904
yeah, but you can't go wrong with a low end cruiser just for commuting around the city

>>16904930
Super ameri(ca) meet
It'll be memes IRL basically

>>16904886
If you are buying new because of reliability concerns, I suggest you choose something from the dealer with the service department you have the most confidence in. Visit your local dealers and just look in on the service deps... The less ghetto, the better. Do the techs look like they have received training ever? Do they look like they can read?

That being said, with cruisers, bigger engines mean a more pleasant riding experience, so don't skimp more than you have too.

>>16905031
That will make it start, I'd do a deep clean on one like that though, just because it's so damn simple

>>16905003

>>16904886
Italika TC200 or 150.

>>16904926
Did you make that?

>>16905137
No. I want to. Cant figure out how they did the wheels

>>16904997
I wouldn't touch that. The tires, brakes, chain and lines have been outside for 12 years. $1000 is not a reasonable price for non-running dr650 that has been outdoors that long.

Should I buy the best overall protection I can afford, or splurge on a helmet and boots, cheap out on everything else and upgrade as I go?

I can buy a Vesta 200cc scooter for 1250$, seems like a pretty good price. Catch is that it has 20k miles on it. Is that too much? How many more miles can I get out of it?

I fell for the super moto meme

does anyone else ride more recklessly when they're hungry? i realised I do this earlier today, similar to when I'm angry, riding while hungry makes me impatient and irate and it's reflected in my riding. Anyone else?
Same thing for leathers really, in jeans and a jacket i'm a lot more comfortable and i'm happy to cruise slowly etc, but in my full leathers and boots im uncomfortable and I guess the preshape of the jacket and trousers just makes me wanna go fast and get hektik. This is the only argument i can think of against going atgatt - i genuinely ride more safely and carefully when I'm wear less protection

Hey /dbt/, I am here to ask your opinion about which of these three bikes is the best for a beginner.

Honda CBR650F
Kawasaki Ninja 650 (2017)
Yamaha FZ6R

These are the three bikes I've narrowed it down to, so any feedback would be appreciated.

>>16905411

Newer version? Its pretty comfy, would recommend to a beginner.

>>16905372

>>16905428
Rode it last biketoberfest. Beside being comfortable, it corners pretty well and has enough engine to grow into as a noob

>>16905271
If it is a P-200 manual shift it still has a lot of life in it. However, at 20k it might need a engine rebuild, it is a 2-stroke.

new rider here

what are some good jackets to wear while riding at night?

I live in Florida and on my way back from Daytona I damn near froze to death (wore 2 hoodies and 2 shirts)

what do you guys wear? what is best for comfy night time rides?

>>16905600
>what are some good jackets to wear while riding at night?
The same jacket you wear in the day? Just put your brights on.

>>16905576
Nothing, and if I was looking for a tourer I'd probably get one. The merchant was just in max overjew mode, and it got dad out of the "I need a big BMW tourer" mindset. I don't really see the point of getting the AE over the regular A.
Also the mode switch is like half an indicator switch instead of a button despite working like one. Tickles my autismal gland slightly.

>>16905605

Also get boots and gloves if you don't have them

pretty simple, you need to block the wind, 2 layers of material that wind can penetrate won't help.

Put on something that stops the airflow and you'll notice the difference immediately.

>>16905642
I really spent all the money I had on the Bike without even thinking that it might eventually get a little cold out here in Florida.

I've got boots
I don't have gloves either, I'm currently using really shitty walmart gloves that wind just passes right though

>>16905683

I've seen those kevlar knuckled ones but they don't look very comfy for long rides

>>16905681
kommandostore. They might have ran out though

>>16905670
Just get a cheap pair of motorcycle gloves that have good protection off Amazon, you can spend like $50 on em and they'll be fine.
Make sure your boots have ankle protection, dropping a bike on your leg while moving doesn't feel good
But a jacket won't be cheap, I would just look used on Craigslist or something even tho it's kinda gross.
I got mine for free from a family member who wore it once in the 90's, it's a little big but I'm a skelly so oh well

>>16905683
>Can you explain?
Drove down to the ozarks, which for a flatlander like me was great. Great trails and rural roads, it was low season so that kind of sucked.

Does stuff like this actually provide any protection or is it just for squids cause it looks cool? I was thinking about getting something like this because I could just wear it by itself when it's hot or throw a hoodie or something waterproof over it when it's cold.

>>16905691
I've got some cheap sedici gauntlets and they never give me any problems. I usually only ride like 2-4 hours though. get gloves that wont shred on pavement immediatley with contact.

>>16905712
Been to the ozarks a few times got friends with campers/houses down there. Not big on fishing though since i suck at it. The private lakes are way nicer though. you can just do whatever and most people dont care.

>>16905623
how does a 'fashion' leather jacket hold up compared to a bike specific one? Not talking about impact (obviously no padding / armour), I mean in terms of abrasion... I know for a fact my dianese jacket is 1.3mm leather hide & my fashion normal leather jacket is also 1.3mm. By this logic will both save my skin for the same distance at the same speed?

>>16905691
>what type of material gloves though, would it be strange to wear elk gloves?
Get actual motorcycling gloves. A beautiful pair of comfortable leather gloves aren't worth shit if they burst open on contact with high-speed asphalt because the stitching wasn't designed to hold up. CE Cat 1 is good to aim for as a minimum. CE Cat 2 is going to be a bit more expensive, and generally less comfortable, but more protective.
Look for gloves with hard palm-sliders too. The big chunky knuckle protectors look nice, but it's the palm that's likely going to hit the road because that's your reflex on falling over, and if it's just a leather pad then it can wear through more easily or worse, 'grab' onto the ground and snap your wrist over doing nasty things to your hand bones.

Not all leather is equal (treatments, sources, full-grain vs. machines finish, etc), but above all that is stitching. A fashion jacket needs to hold up to you waving your arms around and be as cheap as possible to manufacture. A motorcycle jacket needs to be slid at high speed against the road without any seams breaking. Double-stitching, multiple seams, captured seams, saddle-stitching, multiple-overlaps, etc. A bunch of different techniques that are bulky, expensive and uncomfortable when used in a fashion jacket.

I'm not sure, but I think it also have to do with how the leather was tanned and the part of the cow. Purse leather is still very soft compared to boot leather and they could be the same thickness

A discomfort? Since when is getting your shoes off a discomfort?

>>16905428

Still can't get over that box swing arm.

>>16905938
It's uncomfortable for some to look at others feet, it's annoying to have to take your shoes off and put them on when you get somewhere.

If I'm dressed up for a nice dinner at someone's house, shoes are just as much of a part of my outfit as the rest of my clothes.

It might not be a big thing, but it is definitely a discomfort. It also gets compounded when other things are weird or strange with a host. As a host, your job is to make your guests feel the most welcome, not demand shit from them

Icon hypersport prime powerranger jacket. Even a couple layers under it doesnt help, if the layers are not windproof you still end up freezing in cold weather.

I really want a new jacket, but just not enough to spend 3-600$ on one.

My bike's engine cuts out and dies when I stop.

This happens after I do a longish journey, especially on motorways/highways.

The problem seems to solve itself after a couple weeks but I have no idea what's causing it.

Checked the spark plug, it's fine.

I was in Limone going north and some faggot Harley gang was coming down at the intersection from the road that leads up the hill and one of them blocked the whole intersection with his bike in the middle of the fucking road wanting to make all his faggot friends pass without having to stop. I ignored him and passed and they honked at me, I honked back and made a friendly gesture.
Fucking unbelievable.

I was also soaked wet on the highway on the road back home.

What's that in your picture and why they fuck is it already open with all that ice, if it's a pass?

Mine had the same problem 'til I switched to premium gas. hasn't stalled at a light since.

It will shut itself off if overheating, but will tell you it did so on the dash. That won't happen unless you have a fan failure.

It's probably just the 390cc single vibrating the bike like crazy. Check the front wheel for play and make sure the bolts are tight on both the triple tree and wheel, but it's unlikely they're loose.

They do it because those bikes are primarily sold in that area of the world and have a lower technology level that requires less advanced factories. Thai, Indonesian, Indian, etc. bikes aren't necessarily built worse depending what manufacturer it is, although the poo in loo ones probably do tend to be the worst because they're often built in collaboration with shitty Indian companies rather than in factories directly owned and managed by the manufacturer. (Although Indian Hondas are actually Hondas, Indian KTMs are Bajajs and Indian BMWs are TVSs)

>>16908456

>>16907647
>superior belt drive
>converting it to chain drive
Why?

>>16908121
No. I bought it used and there's this big white bubble on the lens. Almost like it got burnt or something.
>>16908122
I feel like there must be some way to do it,but all I find when I search for them is the same schematic

>>16908488
could you sand it away?

>>16908470
i like being cuckolded pls come a and fuck my wife

>>16908470
Better power transfer, get more low end power, more aesthetic.

>>16908507
I'm definitely going to try that before I buy a replacement.

So Jorge Lorenzo still sucks if conditions aren't perfect.
Johann Zarco can be fast if he uses his head and doesn't follow the maniac's example.
Speaking of Ianonne, goddamn that dude can't stop crashing.
Vale still got it.
Marky mark is riding smart again and going for points.
If Dovi got it down he and Mav are going to be the ones to watch this year.

>>16908488
Maybe they put the part number in the body work schematic for some reason?

>>16908576
god no, did you watch 2015 or 2016?

Dovi did just as well at qatar in 2015 and 2016.

I checked all the others and it's not there. I did notice that its the same way with the pre-2012 Street Triples headlights. If sanding it doesn't work I may just have to call a Triumph dealership

>>16908592
True, but he and Ducati have been on top for testing this year. I know he's not competing but Stoner did do the fastest time during the first test.

>>16908091
Wasn't there a headlight recall for that model?

>>16908635
There was one for the turn signals but not the headlight.

>>16904898
I'm out of the country, and will be until this summer. Get fucked with your ridiculous requirements.

>>16905372
Sounds like you should stop riding a bike, till you have grown up a bit at least.

Seriously, you will only hurt yourself in the long run.
