You should also take in account that these bikes are ridden like stolen from day 1.

I saw once an ad of someone selling one. It had 70k km on it and the ad said that the engine was rebuilt.

So is this color coding thing (yellow Suzuki, green Kawasaki, blue Yamaha, orange KTM, red Honda) limited to dirt bikes or traditional for the manufacturers and common in more types of bikes and bike racing?

>>17161525
They branch out more on road bikes, but it's still usually some hint of their colour schemes. Some companies have multiple colours over the years and will play back on them with special edition models.

MotoGP they all have their own colour.

does anybody know whether the power relevant for A2 regulations in Germany gets measured at the wheels or the crankshaft?

where can I watch motogp without paying $300

Anyona here has an xt660z Ténéré? I'm thinking about doing an A2 (still 2 years till A for me) and I'm looking for a bike for long distance touring mainly on the shitty roads of my Eastern European country sometimes with two person. Would you advise it?
Also if I'm to buy one used in Germany, are there any traps I should be aware of?

>>17162019

i really dont want anything to do with cars but
my driving instructor tells me i should definitely do the car license before the motorcycle to get used to traffic and not have to die in my first accident..

You guys think he's right?

>>17162081
Where I live you need a car license before you can get an m2 endorsement

>>17162081
yes

>>17162081
I learned to ride before I learned to properly drive a car. Just learn the rules of the road, and ride with somebody who knows what they're doing for an easier time.

>>17162081
As an addendum, some Asian countries make you ride scooters/bikes before you can even get a car license. Teaches better awareness of what's going around you, and you'll notice 2 wheeled vehicles more.

>>17162081
where I live motorcycle lessons are x2 the cost of car lessons.
so even tho I got my car license for work reasons, it would make sense to get it first anyway.

cost is all that matters, u wont die unless ur retarded.

so what is written in the papers? power at the wheels?

I am confused af right now.
The CBR 600 F (F4i in the US) bikes being sold here are listed with 81 kW. The German wikipedia page doesn't give any information about specs and on the murican wikipedia page it is listed with 81 kW at the crankshaft. Assuming it is the same with the European model, wouldn't I be able to ride it with A2 if the relevant power would be at the wheels since it is listed with 67.2 kW?

Larger motorcycles are exempt from "I NEED A NEW BIKE MAN" syndrome unless you completely fuck up and buy the wrong kind of bike, like a pigfat sport tourer when you really wanted a sportbike with bar risers, or a standard when you really wanted a cruiser. There's value in an extended test ride.

They are not, however, exempt from "I NEED TWO BIKES MAN" syndrome.

>>17162220
And what's so bad about buying a different bike? If a 500cc is worth 2000€ right now and a 600cc is worth 2500€ right now and they both depreciate by 500€ in two years, it won't make a difference whether you buy the 2000€ 500cc now and sell it for 1500€ in two years to buy a then-2000€ 600cc, or whether you buy the 2500€ 600cc right away. You'll be 2500€ out of pocket in both cases.

That's why you buy a 750+cc and never sell it, ever. If you're so fucking scared of looping a power wheelie or sneezing and entering a corner at 100mph just block the throttle tube and enjoy your bike minus 50hp until you're no longer scared of motorcycles.

Just don't buy a bike you hate and have no lasting use for. That is a waste of time. That is a waste of money. That is a waste of a bike. It will sit in your garage as long as the ad to sell it stays up, and that will be a while because there's always a nicer one selling for the same price.

I don't necerssarily want to start on a 600cc. I heard you guys yesterday and will definately buy another shit bike first for learning purposes, but I probably won't ride it for 2 yrs. That's why I am looking for bikes I can get with A2 that interest me.
All the weaker bikes, like 500cc bikes I have seen seem to be newer beginner bikes targeted at people like me and they go for 5k yuros minimum (used). That is just too much for me and the bikes I have seen have the handle bars in the sky kek, looks retarded af (I know it's comfy, but still).
One sexy bike with 400cc is the ZXR400, would have no problem with less power, but I don't want a bike that old, early 2000s design is what I want.
Find me weaker bike for like 3k max that doesn't look as shitty as a 300 or 250 or whatever and I will take it

Is the entire point of the discussion beyond you? The guy has to find a bike below 95 hp for his restricted license which normally wouldn't be a problem at all but he's being autismal about brands and models and keeping it afterwards, and I'm trying to explain to him that selling your bike for a different one after two years is absolutely nothing to lose your fucking nerves about like you're doing and like he's doing as well.

You can actually ride a restricted motorcycle on a restricted license in most countries with those, with restrictios (usually like the restricted bHP can't be less than half the original bHP - more than applicable for 600s which are fucking fine really i don't get the notorque meme). Crazy, I know.

It's better than wasting months, if not years of your time and 500 currency units.

Meh, guys here "restrict" 600 and even 1000 sports somehow and ride them on the A2. Police don't give two shits about it. They will flip out however, if you removed the db-killer out of your exhaust.

It only gets complicated when you get into a crash. Then, in some cases, the insurance companies deem you as if you were riding without a license. IN SOME CASES.

There was no previous restriction on what bikes you could A2 restrict here either, the new 95 hp law in Germany is only in effect since the beginning of the year, and people who got their A2 license before 2017 can actually still restrict any bike they want.

It would just be a few bolts, no cutting. I could a place in France that manufactures an R1 race fairing tail that fits the fz6. The only cut your make is for a brake light. Also some minor write relocation.

whew what a ugly piece of shit

hey guys,

sorry for the newbie question, but i'm new to the whole biker scene, and i want to get my license, and start riding.

What is a good starter bike?
currently without any riding experience, i like naked bikes, and considering that i mainly plan to drive on the roads, i think they would fit me well. I was considering a honda CB500, but am open to other ideas.

How can you save some money on the gear?
If i add up the whole cost of the whole gear, it would cost pretty much a little fortune. Are there some parts of the gear that could be purchased without any setbacks(security-wise)?

Are there any other suggestions that i should pay attention to before getting into this whole thing ?

Well of course it's ugly, it hasn't been painted, the frame and wheels are still unpainted aluminium, and the swingarm isn't changed.

good starter bike. concerning the gear, just buy budget stuff / stuff that's on sale

Father has one of these sitting in his garage. Friend of the family left it to him, it had been in a shed for years, father had it professionally restored a few years ago but doesn't ride it much because he prefers his other bike. Brought up letting me have it the other day but my only experience with 2 wheeled vehicles is taking dirtbikes out on some mild trails with my cousin when I was younger.

Don't NEED it for transportation as I have other vehicles but would it be a terrible idea for me to learn to ride on this?

>>17162651

Because euro95 here is all with E10 and I don't like it. Also euro98 here, on the highway, is as expensive as cheap euro95 at home. And a better running bike is never a problem.

So I'm ready to pull the trigger on a CB300F ABS as muh first bike. My concern is that it seems like Honda is hiding it (the non-ABS CB300F as well)? It isn't directly linked through any of their web pages, and I'm not finding any in stock around Minneapolis. Is the 300F on its way out, or just less popular?

300 would be the upper end of what I'd consider, its seems hard to find smaller stuff with an upright stance without going dual-sport. Seeing as how there isn't a public dirt road or motor trail without 50 miles, that doesn't seem like a great option.

She hates shit fuel. I feel it almost immediately when the fuel quality is shit. She's running rough, harder to start etc.

What about battery terminal clamps? Are they maybe cracked?

>>17163594
>guy checks battery and all fuses with a meter, all good
Start at the battery and work your way out. When you say he checked the fuses, do you know if he checked for current on both sides of the fuses, or did he check resistance across the fuses to detect opens? I would start at the battery with a meter grounded to the frame. Work your way down the wires checking to make sure you have current at each junction. With the 'everything died' description, a major fusible link is the most likely culprit. That said, fusible links don't just die. So if you find a burned up link, you've probably got a major short somewhere. The starter circuit would be the logical place to start since it happened when you fired the starter.

>>17163624
Also, at how much voltage is the battery? And is it getting enough charge?

Thanks anons. From what i read today on the googles, a common problem could be earth wires. Anyhow, tomorrow I'll buy a meter and try to follow your suggestions.

The terminal clamps, I assume those are the parts when battery connects to the wires, he cleaned up with a file to ensure that wasn't the problem. The battery had 12 volts i think.

The guy also thought the problem might be around the ignition, based on the fact that moving cables around there sometimes resulted in the rev clock needle jumping up. I dunno if that is the correct conclusion.
As to the alternator, i don't even know what that is. I've got a lot of learning ahead.

Honestly wouldn't expect it to hurt anything on the chain, though it won't reduce wear on that chain as well as proper lube. Moly is meant to provide extreme pressure resistance, but affects thermal transmission, which means jack shit on a chain.

guys, how do you clean your bike without a pressure washer?

I soak my bike with a hose, then soap it up, then rinse it off...
bike looks clean,

but obviously if you inspect it closely, its still dirty in all the hard to get places.

do you guys spend an hour with a washcloth and a bucket of water to wash those spots twice a month, or do you just use a pressure washer and hope you won't damage your electricals.

stupid question, but I never washed my first bike. I paid someone to do it every time cuz it was cheaper than buying a bucket and soap.

I have a 300. It's good for ripping enduro trails that are about three feet wide between trees. If you buy one for the road, that's just gay.

Put on new grips today, used the superglue that was supplied with them.

How long to dry? I checked after 2 hours, and they broke free with little effort. Had to clean up all the old stuff which was a time consuming bitch. Should be good overnight or should I use something else?

>>17164058
SIMPLE GREEN

Anyone here rode a R1100R, R1150R or even an R850R?

Can you tell me what they're like? I am seriously thinking of buying one, I just like the boxer twin engine look and the shaft drive.

>>17164074

Does wanting a 300 really mean I'm gay? I mean, I've been sucking a lot of cock lately, but it was just bros, and I always said no homo after swallowing. The way you keep bringing it up makes me wonder...

>>17164083
I dont even use glue or anything on mine and they stay on fine

what bike will get me a qt pure gf?

>>17164022
Neither should be difficult but the DRZ's carb can be nice if you value user-serviceability, plus being able to swap jets and adjust fuel/air mixture to your needs easily.
Going air cooled like another anon said is one less thing to worry about. There's the XR650L if you're going for newer model years.

Damn, mine slid right on and off.

And I thought oxfords were good. :(

>>17164116
can't afford that, and whats the point in having that top speed if I will never use it? I want torque, not top speed.

>>17164128
I got oxfords on my bike a few weeks ago, but a shop installed them. quality product when they fit at least.

>>17164148
get a fz07 then all fz's have a fuck ton of torque and bitches love fz's and a fuck ton of torque

>>17164175

>>17164016
No

>>17164184
Unrelated, but if I wanted a real world superbike, these would be near top of my list. That 1125 is a damn exciting motor wrapped in a potent yet nicely predictable bike.

>>17164022
They are both pretty much equal

>>17164194

topist of keks thats your problem bro not yamahas fault you fell for the 125 meme

>>17164198
Yeah, I've got an XB12R and want to upgrade to one. Plenty of torque with a really nice suspension setup, and if I recall correctly has damping/rebound/preload adjustment on front and rear suspension like my XB does.

>>17164194

>125
>horrible build quality

Why does my cheap shitty bike built for teenagers to trash on a budget have a poor build quality?

>>17164194
lold

>>17163230
Found the guy on the ninja250

>>17164194
>Yamaha 125

Pal, they build them for the poor asian countries

If you want good build quality get a 600+

>>17163303
It really depends on where you live. Lots of city riding? It's probably a good choice but if you live out in the country you're going to get sick of it really fast. Look at *slightly* older 650s with fuel injection or even the 500 or the newish cbr650

>>17164194
>I ride a Yamaha 125
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA sad really

>>17164225
oh I see

Well I am a complete retard when it comes to chain maintenance (I never bothered tightening it and the sprocket was extremely worn out and one day it just flew off the sprocket and I would have died if I was going fast). So I am looking for belt drive or shaft drive bikes.

>>17164225
unless its a first gen R6, what a fucking shit bike

>carbs
>weak cylinders walls that will crack
>and doesnt even have sleeves you need a new fucking engine block

>>17164237

>going fast
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>17164237
>i didn't do some basic maintenance
>so I'm going to move from the most widely used drive system to alternative systems which have their own maintenance requirements

Is that really wise?

>>17164209
>amping/rebound/preload adjustment on front and rear suspension
doesn't every bike have this?

>>17164246
this

>>17164246
well I've taught myself how to do it now but I still like the BMW aesthetic, and I sat on one before and it felt really comfy
>>17164244
it can go up to 80mph.

>>17164247

>>17164253
>80mph
>fast

Where do you buy your tools, dbt?

>>17164272
Sears. Hit Snap-On for some specialty items, but try to avoid them as much as possible.

>>17164263
