The oldest bike was also the fastest around the track. Really makes you think.
Have to correct myself though: we didn't ride the WSBK layout, we used the DTM one.

Just bought a dual sport, and it came with these red keys. They fit nowhere on the bike that I can find. What are they? 2008 Suzuki DR650

>>17157006
Panniers / top case, or maybe seat cover.

>>17156985
proof

>>17157015
Didn't come with any cases. The slightly dirtier one was wrapped up in the small tool kit that came with it, so it might have been included with the bought originally.

>>17156990

>>17157050
A shitty old Liter Vstrom. It's the instructor.

>>17157050
the full optional 1200rt

Man I wish I had more money, I really wanna buy something like a VF750S and turn it into a kinda cafe racer sorta deal.

>>17156990
Put some spray paint on that exhaust.

>>17157006
Probably steering lock key.

still looking for a good looking Supersport that has aged well with 96hp/70kW (A2)

bikes I have looked at:
cbr600rr - absolute perfection, but too powerful
cbr600f4i - banana tail
cbr600f sport - eliminates the banana tail problem, but guess what....too fucking powerful REEEEEEE fuck the eu

pls tell me there is an alternative

I never seen a piece of shit like that on the road in the past 3 years so I wouldn't know.

In Italy you mostly see the following:

>good amount of dirtbike madmen going up the hills
>tons of normal naked bikes
>tons of togey madmen with top tier supersports (and most of them actually ride extremely fast)

Don't make me go back and quote you son I'll fucking do it do, right.

>>17157395
You can start on any bike if you're cautious.

And that's exactly the problem. You can't take more powerful bikes near their limit as a beginner without killing yourself, but taking bikes near their limit is part of the learning process, so starting on a weaker bike will actually make you a better rider.

It's really rather curious how bike maintenance and bike detailing are an absolute joy because everything is in reach and compact and every single bit actually has a purpose that's clearly visible; but maintenance and detailing on cars on the other hand is an absolute fucking pain in the ass because half the shit is in hard to reach places, you have no clue what half the parts do anyway and all the surfaces are huge fucking slabs that take forever to clean. I really hate working on my car.

I actually reviewed it for my Yootoob channel but I won't push it here as I don't wanna be that guy. I agree it'd be perfect for a new rider, loads of low down torque but little in the way or horsepower. Easy overtaking but no real speed, and low seat makes it feel really light too. My only real complaint was the ugly ass tail light.

>>17157768
I tried copious amounts of rubbing alcohol as well as trying a strong citrus cleaner with no luck. It got all the gooey glue stuff off, but this perimeter just will not go away. I think I have to buff it out or something, but I don't have tools for that.

Wow, that taillight is pretty horrible. Somehow it even looks worse than my FZ-07s stock taillight. The exhaust can is fucking massive, but it looks good so I guess I don't care.

It doesn't have a cruiser position does it? I thought they were standard position.

>>17157797

Unfortunately this brings my total planned changes for my motorcycle to

Panniers
Decent windscreen (Already burned by the shitty Puig one, don't buy it)
Slightly more aggressive handlebars
Exhaust
Prettier grips/bar ends.

I could have bought a GXSR with the money I'm going to end up spending on this SV.

People will actually make way for you in a traffic jam so that you can keep moving and won't die a heat stroke in all your gear.

>>17157803

As standard yeah but you can get smaller ones, but depending on where you live in the UK the police will give you shit for it. Our standard plates are 9" x 7", but people often go for smaller ones.

>of course you need special OEM panniers
you can assemble non OEM panniers.

>>17157802

That's a shame, we've only just gotten the Rebel in Bongistan, the only 250 we ever got was the CBR.

>>17157810

Yeah I can't stand the tail light, but it's only held on by two bolts so changing it would be very easy. The exhaust is a bit big but I think it suits the bike, it's just a bit too quiet.

I'd say it's a cruiser position given how low the seat is, I'm a manlet and I was sat on it with my legs pretty bent to be honest. It's not full Harley with the footrests up by the front wheels but it's definitely not standard.

Well, that's actually not that much larger than ours. They were actually nice enough to downsize them a while ago and now they come in at the millimeter equivalent of 7.9"x7.1".

>>17157832

That's pretty cool, though being taller than they are wide looks kinda weird. Apparently we have to have certain letter size and spacing too, so you've got to be really careful if you go smaller as police will use any excuse to fine you these days.

>>17157845
American plates are much smaller anyway, cars as well. Sometimes I'm jelly, but on the other hand we can blow past speed cameras instead of getting chased down by highway cops.

>>17157861

I'd say it is, it's just a lot shorter than the average cruiser so the rider is quite upright to hold the bars. I think had they given the front end slightly less rake and given it a taller, flatter seat and sold it as like a CB500F classic, it would have sold like hotcakes.

90% of the people will ignore you or move over to let you pass.

But then there's people with anger management issues that will try to block you or cut you off which is kind of funny because then they are technically breaking the law too.

I hear it's a big issue on the east coast, supposedly the drivers in general are shit in general and so lanesplitting motorcycles get treated bad

>>17157890

It's basically so they can check that you're taxed, MOTd (inspection) and insured. Also means if you've been in a hit and run and you catch the offender's plate, they flag up wherever they are and makes it easier for the police to get them. Problem is, this has sparked a huge amount of people using cloned or false plates.

I live in Austin, TX and very very rarely do anything sub-legal here.
I'd say 80% of the drivers are just fine, 15% are raging over-aggressive assholes and 5% are outright dangerous in every single aspect.

I've seen other riders split past me and, although it hurts my pride a bit every time, I know it's easier for me to take the extra 3-5 minutes in my commute than it is to end up in a crash or with a gun in my face.

I live in California so lanesplitting is legal here.

Even then every once in a blue moon there will be a driver who will give you shit for lanesplitting.

Back in January I had a scary experience lanesplitting to the front of the line during a red light, a douchebag in his sportscar got butthurt I got to go infront of him.
When the light turned green he slammed on the gas, If I was half a foot more to the left he would have hit me.

Old guy with a grey beard acts like a child and as I'm in the ambulance with a torn up leg I wonder what he would be telling the officer.

Cruisers are super easy bikes to ride. Most likely time you'll drop it is at a stop letting it get away from you because they are so heavy. When they're moving they are stable as fuck and the brakes and motor arent powerful enough to really get you into trouble even if you tried.

Just watch where you're going and watch out for other people. Leave yourself plenty of room to brake and use both brakes.

You've admitted to being completely inexperienced yet gone ahead and bought a random motorcycle, that you're afraid to ride. You then asked what to do, so my suggestion is go learn to actually ride, don't just go around riding aimlessly.

>>17158435
Every rider should start on a literbike. There should be a special insurance bracket for people who own a literbike but have ridden lass than ~2 years that charges rates high enough to cover the cost of damage and injury for this bracket.

This way all the retards kill themselves and all the reasonably skilled riders with self control survive to go on and become better riders. having survive the gauntles of temptation and self restraint that is being a noob with tons of power.

Those who respect it survive, those who dont kill themselves or scare themselves away from motorcycles forever and everyone is better off.

>>17158443
>someone overtaking you on the road makes them a better rider than you.

>>17158435
Wrong. Small bikes allow you to approach your skill boundaries and learn about what you can expect of yourself and a bike without immediately wrapping yourself around a tree. With a large bike you will NEVER know where the limit is and you will either always scaredly ride far below the limit or unintionally exceed it and kill yourself.

Real talk, small "beginner" sportbikes reach 60mph about five seconds.

60mph is already too fast for most corners outside of the highway (where they are gentle for the speed they're meant to be taken out) with a new rider in the seat. MotoGP riders take some corners going slower than that and drag knee all the way around. If you want to make it tough to accidentally go over your personal limits, skip the ninja 250 and get a tiny metric cruiser.

If you have a shaft driven bike can you engine break while going down hills?

>>17158491
Once you learn how to launch and shift on a stretch of straight amerifat road it's decently fast.

>>17158475
not talking speed limits here.

Smaller bikes are more forgiving getting on and coming off the brakes and getting on and coming off the power, especially in a turn.

A literbike is MUCH less forgiving, you get on the power or get off it at the wrong time due to inexperience you are very easily in a low sid eor a high side.

If you dont have good brake control you can very easily wash out the front end grabbing too much front brake in a turn you came into too hot and panicked on.

New riders generally dont have the experience or skill to make the right on the fly decisions and apply appropriate inputs to an overly powerful bike (engine and brakes) in a given situation.

asking price is $3400, I have a phone in the ad but I cut it out of the picture

>you will never have nixie tube turn signals/speedometer/tachometer
fuck

you're asking a lot for that car

A Sabre cafe will look like ass. They are good motorcycles but they are UJMs and not sporting.

I'm expecting to be talked down. I'm looking to make $3k

You are set then since you can upgrade while rebuilding. Many machines are sold "needing engine work" when the engine is fine but the fuel system needs attention.

Bring a compression tester to knock prices down. I do.

>>17158834
meh, they look nice in pictures, but nixies have a fairly long transition time (over 20ms). It doesn't sound like much, but your tach values could end up being very blurry.

No, but I would advise gloves. Even helmet is optional if you can deal with some ear plugs and glasses instead.

JUST make sure not to fall down on the ground, there's only dust and pain down there.

MSF course ASAP! At least buy and fucking study a copy of Proficient Motorcycling.

>>17158370
Might as well use it to learn. Check Honda forums (this is not a Honda forum) for more detailed info and get a service manual.

Before spending ANY money, try the kickstarter to see if the engine will turn over. Do NOT jump start a motorcycle off a running auto!

Find someone local with basic small engine or motorcycle knowledge.

Presume battery is dead and carbs need cleaning.

Delete the first line. NEVER talk shit about what you are selling.

>>17157217

>>17158946
man I didn't think I was talking shit, will do

>>17158794

The first line of your add immediately turns me off.

I know you think being overly honest is a valid sales tactic but that only works after you've established a rapport with someone. Since an ad is a passive sales method there is no way you can build the rapport needed.

What you need to do is to sell the strengths of the vehicle. Think of a job interview... do you sit there and tell people why the other candidate might be a better idea? You sell to the strengths, you omit the negatives.

>>17158983
if it's already been posted for like a week do you think the first line's made the car unsellable or what? Is it too late or will it not matter the next time I renew the ad as long as I take it out

>>17158907
Not like it needs a big gas tank, you're not doing long distance rides on a fucking Grom unless you're already a masochist.

Bought a brand new bike from the dealer (AUS) over a month ago now. They've lost the warranty booklet and spare key and seem to be making no effort to replace them.

What do I do?

>>17158996

No car is unsellable, don't forget to use FB vehicle sales groups and autotrader as well. I have had the most success with Facebook of all things.

>>17159021
go in, make a big fucking scene, complain a lot, and make sure everyone knows it's THEIR fault.

It always looks so small in pictures until I actually get on the thing. Also bonus smalldog in the upper corner.

Holy hell, after 3 days and 16 ad replies, only 1 craigslist seller has responded.

Is the bike still available?
Do you have a clean title?
When can I come look at it?

Are any of these questions that off the wall? Why do people make it so hard to give them my money?

I'm too autistic to use facebook so let's hope I haven't poisoned the Craigslist well with my shitty ad

>>17159066

Like too autistic to make an account or just use it in general?

>>17159103
I just don't know how to use it and not make an ass of myself and social anxiety makes it difficult in general. CL is hard enough as it is

You can ride a motorcycle yeah? When you're riding, are you thinking about what you're doing in advance or just knowing and doing? Are you overthinking things like "Oh man that shift, that shift was shit, oh man" or are you dealing with stuff as it flows to you? Live life like that.

Slowly building up my tool stock.

Feels so much better having the right tool for the job than having to fuck around with pliers and shit.

Still need a vice though, that would make stuff a lot easier.

>>17159118
You dont have to use it and post your meals and shit and how your day was like a 13 year old girl, just make an account and throw on a profile pic and join a buy/sell group and post your ad. Fuck, the only thing i use facebook for is for the messenger app to talk to my friends in groupchats and shit and buy/sell groups, i dont even have a profile pic or anything.

Well stop it, that's not how life works, life is like riding your motorcycle. Whats behind you only matters when you peek your mirrors, what's infront of you is much more important. If you keep peeking your mirrors and thinking about the shit thats behind you your forward path isn't gonna be worth shit. Keep going, you know what you're doing. What's coming up under your front wheel is far more important than whats gone under your rear already.

Lifes a road. That's why I bought a motorcycle and I'm teaching myself to ride it. Lifes just a fucking road. There's rough patches, there's smooth asphalt, there's assholes on this road, there's great people as well. There's hills, ups and downs, sometimes the road forks, sometimes the weather is shit but it don't matter, what matters is the road infront of you. That's where your focus is, that's whats now, not the gravel you just made it through.

Bad advice.

You need to both in life and the bike, navigate through by balancing five things:

-A brief summary of everything leading up to this point.

-A detailed summary of what JUST happened.

-An understanding of what is going on around you right now.

-An observation of what will be coming up shortly.

-A rough prediction of what will come to pass from here until the end.

Context is the glue the binds your actions together and steers you down the path, without context everything is worthless. Focusing on the moment is just as blind as focusing on the past or worrying about the future. You need to understand where you have been and have an idea of where you will go understand how to best live in the moment and the make the next moments better.

We are here for a good while not a long while.

once when i was a kid there was a rat running across one of our water tanks and i had a hatchet so i tried to smash it with it and i hit it right in the nuts and they exploded, the rat went into a wild frenzy flipping and smashing around then it had a fit and died.

Not the same guy I'm just curious as to what a guy owns who would talk down another mans bike but to me it smells like you're most likely a nobike.

lol, okay there nobike. I've wrenched on everything from knuckle, pan, shovel, evo, twinkie and now I'm fucking around with milfucky 8's, Twin cams are fine, they're not iconic but who gives three squirts of piss?

The opinions of a nobike are so bad, let alone a non-wrenching nobike.

>>17159585
I remember something about issues with the oil system (IIRC it was an article in IEEE Spectrum talking about how they tracked it down, some sort of vibration induced cavitation in the block), but that was supposed to be resolved in pre-production units. Did they have any other real wide-spread issues?
