copypasta 'cause I',m slow

alright, I call "reputable" the brands that control their own manufacturing, rather than just have a contract manufacturer in China put their name on something and send it over. So that would be NOT be distributor house brands, some brand only sold in a particular chain shop... A few years ago BMW had to recall a helmet because it was made by some outfit somewhere, and BMW is not in the helmet manufacturing business, they are in the accessories sales business, what do they know about helmets?

And of course avoid stuff named "outlaw", "leather up", or anything else that markets itself as being the least helmet you can buy. Bell, HJC, Shoe, Arai, Shark, there's others, those guys just make helmets. That's what you want to look for. If the helmet says "TMS" on the outside and "Zhejiang Bio industry & trade co LTD" on the label on the inside... Just say no.

You could have a hidden switch that routes the high-voltage-to-sparkplug to the handlebar.

Traveling in Vietnam I had the ignition barrel go to shit on a shitty bike, so I put a wire by the handlebar so I could ground it out to stop it. Worked fine until one day it POURED raining and I started getting that through my hands. Fucking SUCKED.

81' CSR 650 as first bike. Ye/no?

>>17370827

I'd have to get up around 5 or so, or even just a little earlier to be able to take advantage of the lower temperatures. It's definitely an option, but I'm not sure I'm that dedicated.

>>17370839

I need to get something like that, it's planned for the future. Just so much shit to spend money on right now. I live in the desert too, evaporative coolers are pretty effective as long as it isn't monsoon season.

>>17370842

It's too hot outside here to ride for at least 4-5 months out of the year usually in my opinion. On the plus side, the rest of the year offers pretty consistently perfect weather.

>>17370861

Not even, I only consider helmet and gloves absolutely necessary, but when it's over 100 degrees and the sun is beating down there's no escape. In full gear you'll roast like a shwarma kebab, and you'll burn in less than an hour anywhere the sun can touch. Only option is to wear your lightest long sleeve clothing to keep the sun off, but you'll still sweat your balls off. Next week is supposed to reach 117.

>>17371047
Not terribly powerful, and the power is predictable and easy to control. Breaks are Meh, they take a firm grip. The pic looks like recent rubber, and modern bias tires are not as sticky as radials, but light-years better than what I rode around on in the eighties.

It's a little heavy but low and the upright seating position will give you good control.

>>17371047

Nah, old 650 standards like that will be pretty manageable if you don't try to go full retard the first month you're riding. Just respect the machine and don't try to ride beyond your ability. You'll be fine.

The only other thing is make sure you're tall enough and strong enough to move it around easily. Nothing worse than a bike that's just too bulky and heavy for you to properly get out of a parking spot or something.

My parents were pretty resistant to the idea of me getting a street bike (had dirtbikes previously to that). That said, once I turned 18 and moved out they didn't have a say in the matter anyway.

They reacted a little nervously when I purchased my first, but apparently it didn't make them nervous enough to offer to help pay for gear or anything.

Now my dad is a pretty handy reference for information on old bikes, he never rode regularly or anything, but he was an exporter back in the 80's.

Dad used to race motocross and spent six months or so writing for a bike mag--stopped riding before I was born, but has been very supportive, wrenches with me, bitches about the price of "classic CB500s" and such on Craigslist. ("They weren't worth that even when they were new!") If he gets a raise he'll probably get a bike and we can hoon together.

Mom has been astonishingly supportive given her general neuroticism and total lack of familiarity with motorcycles, even up to taking a small accident (in which I broke my foot) in stride. I suspect she's putting a lot of effort into it. Either that or she wants me dead or crippled, I guess.

"A" for effort

>>17371903
desu I can see the appeal, it certainly depends on like where you live and what sort of riding you do. I've had my SV650 for a month and I love it, but I can definitely see how people would want a super comfy cruiser. I've sat on my dad's V-rod and its gloriously comfy. I mean shit, the SV isn't really a supersport but after an hour or two my butt is still sore. And I live in arizona so 90% of the roads are just straight lines.

>>17371903
Have cruiser, can confirm

>>17371942
Vrod Is garbage and not that comfy.

my boots and gloves and helmet got soaked from getting stuck in the rain earlier. Will riding in dry weather dry the out?

>>17371926
Heil, brother

>>17371927
A is better than F. F is for sportbikes

>>17371942
Cruisers are honestly great for long term comfy non-aggressive riding. Sport bikes are what you want for taking corners fast and quick maneuvers but in the long rides they get uncomfortable far more easily than "relaxed" bikes.

>>17371960
Comfy non- aggressive riding is best riding

>>17371530
>>17371513
probably the valve cover gasket. Also if they get way overfilled they will spew oil out weird places like the hole in the side of the head

>>17371953
I mean, I thought it was pretty comfy. And he got it for like, $8k from a friend because they were really close friends, and I guess jarheads are bad at math or something idk. That's a pretty good deal for a bike that's usually 18 grand, and it's in perfect condition.

>>17371960
Yeah, if I had the money I'd have a nice cruiser and a sport bike but I don't. I like my SV because I can ride it in town and not want to kill myself, so it's good enough for now.

Is it common for cars to tailgate me and want to generally go faster than I'm going?
ex. Speed limit is 35, I'm going 37-39, car behind me rides my ass, they end switching lanes and gunning it past me.

Now I can understand one car doing it every now & then, but it's been happening to me all the time in the last year. Is my speedometer broke or what? Or are people just being dicks?

>>17372279
Motorcycle speedo's usually show 10% faster than you're actually going, so you're probably going slightly under the limit and pissing them off.

People don't usually get mad if you're at the speed limit but as soon as you dip below it they can get pretty salty and think you're just fucking with them.

>>17372159
The gladius is the gay version of the SV, why would you get one if you're not 4 feet tall?

>>17372279

Bikes aren't for you. If you're not doing +10kmh faster than traffic you're literally putting yourself in danger

Comfy riding on a bike that's not artificially limited by aesthetics-first design is great. Riding a "heritage" focused piece of shit with low parts and stupidly raked out forks is just dumb.

Toronto, Canada.

I'm looking for anything bigger than 500cc and is of the naked/street fighter style. If that doesn't make sense feel free to correct me.

>>17372335
Why is the shiver so heavy though? It weighs quite a bit more than the Tuono and RSV

Is the frame made out of lead?

For starters the exhaust is stupidly heavy, some 10+kgs
Same for the swingarm
It's really not surprising when you realize it's a naked caponord

Having ridden both i'd say they feel pretty much the same, except power delivery, which sucks balls on the SV

>>17372374
Yeah you don't feel the weight too much as long as it's balanced well, just comes into play when you're going slow and trying to throw it around.

>>17372338
Isn't insurance for motorcycles there astronomical?

How much did you want to spend?

Yes it is. Calling around for quotes tomorrow. Should be reasonable as it's not a sport bike and I'm over 25.

Expand your search area a little. I don't know if you're from here, but public transport will get you fairly well anywhere. Draw a 200 mile circle, then ride back.

I didn't know /o/ had a motorcycle general but it's convenient. I'm doing some writefaggotry and I know next to nothing about bikes. Thankfully it's just a background prop but I feel I should go the extra mile and at least make it appropriate.

It's 2005/2006 in south east Texas, and two knucklehead high school kids in a small town are building/repairing a project bike they bought for a fifty spot from some dead beat. What kind of bike would it be, for that time period and area? All I know about bikes are dirt bikes, Harley Davidson, and sports bikes so streamlined and angular they could be believably be passed off as the independently functioning dick of a Transformer. Oh, and mopeds I guess.

Apologies if it's a dumb question, but I felt I should at least ask people who might know then writing "It's a harley hurr hurr."

I try to at least always wear helmet (full-face right now) and gloves. Thinking about picking up a 3/4 helmet soon but it's so hard for me to find one that doesn't look stupid as fuck to me. I've seen some with clear face shields that you can flip up or down similar to full-face that don't look quite as bad, but I'm not sold on it. Aside from that my only other real hard no is flip flops, I will never ride without close-toed shoes of some sort.

Making an accurate speedometer economically is actually quite a task. Final drive or wheel driven speedos provided reasonable accuracy for reasonable cost. For absolute accuracy, you'd have to account for (at the very least) actual tire circumference, which will change based on wear, inflation pressure, temperature, etc.

I totally want to fit in with the other orthodontists in the cul-de-sac. That's life goal no 1.


Buy a real bike, ponce.

There's a magazine for this?
Fuck you all. Not selling the scooter.

The collar of my jacket prevents me from looking ahead. Is this a common issue on sport bikes, or does the jacket fit me poorly?

the anime girls learner bike is a real bike these days?

>>17373236
sounds like your helmet probably fits you poorly. also try folding down the collar

Meant to ride somewhere today, got bored in the morning and decided to work on the bike a bit.
Spent the entire day working on it.
One small thing turns into I should do that that other thing. Literally started with I should check my fluid levels. Honestly prefered it to be honest, bikes run better than it has in a while. Was indeed a productive day.

>>17373238
only if you mount the front tire backwards

>>17373249
I think the helmet fits fine, but maybe I'm wearing at the wrong angle? Or I have no neck. It's pretty thicc so I don't think I could fold it comfortably.

Beautiful.

God #($&ing #($&it Mr. Bun-Bun! I was having a wonderful night ride. Went through the twisties in the gardens, spooled on over the industrial park and just fucked around with the empty roads, generally having a lovely evening. But then, Mr. Bun-Bun jumps out in front of me. Saw him way the fuck off in the distance, and switched lanes. Then he hops over into my lane. So I switch back to the far side. Everything seems great, but then not 10 feet out he jumps right back in front of me. *thump* What the hell man? I don't need this shit on me. Why the hell couldn't you pick someone else to assist your suicide? WTF Mr. Bun-Bun?

It's really not going to die on you, inside of 80k miles. And can go wherever you need to take it.

...so yeah. Realbaiks®

>>17373317
did you flip the wheel around without realizing it?

>>17373367
yeah put it on backwards for the day without noticing, weird considering i had to swap the spacers around to be able to do it.

Sup guys, im just getting into riding and i bought this 2009 Suzuki boulevard M50 for $2500 as my first bike. It has 6k miles on it and hasn't been dropped. Did i get a god deal poor did i fuck up? Also do you guys have any options on this as a first bike?

>>17373451
Price seems ok, but that is any awfully big first-bike (94+ inches long and almost 600 pounds).

>>17373461
I was worried about that. I'm 6"2 and it feels great though. Figure ill just have to learn quick.

>>17373451
That seems reasonable. They're great looking bikes, enjoy it.

>>17373451
>those big, meaty tires
