35 year old here in the US.

I have a license but i dont have a bike yet... i want one real bad though.

Besides the fear of dying, my father just passed and i think i am afraid of leaving my mom alone (im an only child).

In any case i have had a Piaggio NRG 50cc moped. I feel off my cousins moped once (it wasnt the piaggio, i think it was an old peugeot moped), then i fell off the piaggio twice. The first time was actually the first week i owned the thing. My friend was on the back and i wasnt used to turning with the extra weight. The second time was alone being reckless near the beach. I scraped up my foot pretty good but i was wearing flip flops.

Conclusion: i still want to ride and i think that being humble on the bike and following ATGATT (All the gear all the time) can probably make you avoid a lot of problems. That said sometimes it's unavoidable.

5 or so crashes in 20 years. Some big, some small. 3 totalled bikes, one got rebuilt because it was an actual racebike.

Have never broken a bone in a wreck. Not even one. 2 wrecks on track, the rest on street. Street wrecks were done wearing jeans. No injuries beyond bruises and a couple scrapes.

aight, hope i didnt forget something.
power / acceleration
not too powerful acceleration, highspeed somewhere around 200 km/h, but i wouldnt want to go that fast on the machine, because of a wind protection issue, that comes up later. you get up the gear fairly quickly, which is probably because of the low cc.

tech / instruments
The stock mirrors have too much the "in your face" feeling, they feel huge and close up. but there are aftermarket solutions, that also look nicer. the bike has digital gear indicator / speedometer, fuel gauge. analogue rpm. need to press and hold ignition button. only press briefly, it starts by itself. bike also has abs, traction control and the like.
as you release the clutch, the bike automatically increases the rpm by a bit to avoid stalling. i thought to myself that only makes sense if a newbie rides this bike, which i can hardly imagine. noone out of driving school would sit on a VStrom 1000 straight away. This piece of tech annoyed me

seating / footpegs
being 1,88m, when i stopped at a traffic light, my legs were in a straight line down, touching the ground. just right. but in that line's way were the footpegs, which annoyed me a lot, because you have to put them in an adversely position then. sitting rather high on this bike, gives you a sense of security though.

wind protection
3-fold adjustable windshield, but either stage doesnt do much because its pretty small aswell. couldnt imagine this for longer tours of 2-3 hours upwards. also your legs are not protected at all as they are pretty far "out". there is no fairing in front of them. my knees actually felt a bit cold after 20 min (and it was a warm day). never had that on a bike before.

sound
sweet powerful sound, especially when accelerating

handling
pretty stable, even in tiny roundabouts you have good rpm control and can go through with a constant 15 kmh or so. wide handlebars also give you good steering control

My DL is the most powerful bike I've had, I can keep up or pass 1000 4cyl bikes over short distances but I mainly get passed at about 120kph where they seem to just fly past. I know the newer one is faster and quicker. As for speed. The wind protection isn`t great. At 200kph the wind holds your feet to the pegs. At that speed ADV style helmets feel like someone is hold onto your head and moving it about. I do find the rpm and power climb quickly compared to other types of bikes but it is rev limited at 9500 rpm.

As for the mirrors, the ones I have are a bit small when compared to my KLRs mirrors, they are good enough but could be bigger.

Gear indicate is something I don`t have but would like. It only tells you if you are in 6th. The rest doesn`t sound any different. The clutch thing is dumb, I doubt it is enough rpm to rev match when down shifting. I don`t like the sound of it at all, I can`t see anyone starting on a 1000 over a 650 anyway. ADV bikes don`t suffer from that American things of buying a Busa as a starter bike.

I'm also 1.88m and flat foot it fine. I don`t like how my legs feel on the pegs while moving though, it feels to me like there is less distance from the seat to the pegs than my KLR650. I'm just whingeing about it though, Cycle ergos says there is a difference of 4 degrees. So it might just be me.

I am definitely going to get better cans than what is standard. I like how it sounds now, but I know it can be way better.

It does weigh more than my KLR650, it feels meatier. Yet, maybe because I'm not a manlet I have zero problems moving it round at low speed.

Over all sounds like they just updated the engine from 996cc to 1050cc or something like that and added on all the fancy things like ABS and traction control. I can`t say I like the sound of that clutch thing, the bike is not powerful below 3k rpm but it still sounds worthless. Also what is that bash plate made of? Mine is stiff ruber, useless. I'll bet is is plastic.

in short: if you havent tried boxer engines before, you'll be surprised how the things are in your way. i bumped my shins a couple times as I was coming to a stop, because naturally you stretch your legs a bit more forward before you come to a dead stop. especially at the RT it was annoying, because it has an extra cover over the engines, which gives you even less space.
power wise, both bikes arent all to powerful, as he high PS on the RT for example would suggest. Both are comfy for pillion rides, techs are alright and plenty, although the GS dashboard felt a little chaotic with all the different sized displays and numbers all over. the RT made a smoother impression. if wanted, i make a more detailed rewiev, but first comes the gsxs, as someone asked for it by now

>>17424044
it was a local dealer, with some bikes on display outside.
power / acceleration
strong, but not overly insane acceleration. imo it was comparable to a Fazer 1 or other literbikes.
tech / instruments
the dashboard has just about the right size, ABS, odometer, fuel gauge and also displays the reserve range if it comes to that. switching between the odometer settings can be a bit tricky tho, especially on highways, because it could be a little hard to reach if you have short arms.
seating / footpegs
a slight forward lean, but comfy.
wind protection
wind what? it's a naked with no fairing at all. everything above 130km/h is uncomfortable and exhausting. you have to hold onto the handlebar good when exceeding that speed. Other bikes I rode much much faster, but i wouldnt even dare 180 km/h on the GSX S
sound
cool sound, good growling. although after an hour or so I imagine it could be annoying, as it's also loud inside your helmet
handling
easy handling, perfect for commutes, fun rides across country or day rides. also the appearence and colors make a good impression. especially those golden forks

Anyone know much about the recent benelli Bn600? I always thought Benelli made sweet looking bikes (see; Tornado)
But since 2010 or something they got bought out buy a big ol' Chinese company.

Apparently the bikes are still assembled in Italy, but it's the chinese production quality of things like forge casting, wires, plastics perishing etc.

I know china has the capability to make super good products and downright trash on the sides of a coin.

Which side does the benelli sit on i wonder.

It's not a fancy or fast bike for the price...
But nnnhhhggggg; I have a weakness for off/unusual/rare brands and Italian bikes.

>>17424054
Interesting.

If you took the GS off-road I'd love to hear it.
(For example, can you pick up a dropped one by yourself at all?)

That, and if you rode a k1600gt to compare it to the boxer-engined one.

didnt take the GS offroad, as I had no experience for that at all and wouldnt want to drop it (I agreed to 3000 $ just-in-case payment if i crash the bike).
the GS was on centerstand when i got it, and desu i had a little trouble getting it off of it. took me 5 or 6 tries, before it came down. i guess just because it was so high up and i couldnt mount up any power as i was sitting on top of it. i guess picking 240kg up shouldnt be too much of a deal with the right technique (some tips for that also on youtube).

and yes, i agree the K1600 with the inline 6 engine would ride smoother

160hp seems cool, but I don`t trust (((Italians))) to build bikes. I'm in third world South Africa, I've honestly only even see one Ducati ever. A Diavel that was bought as a first bike for a another man I knew. Funnily enough is crashed it, but he rekt on a track and not the road. Conventional wisdom here holds that;

Harleys can only be safely ridden two days a week, Saturday and Sunday. The rest of the time they are fucked and need fixing.

BMWs require bank loans for services or parts. Otherwise good bikes.

KTM is unreliable and worse cost as much as BMWs for parts. Fastest bikes in some classes like ADV and Duel Sport.

Ducati and other (((Euro))) bikes are more for rich people. Not a daily bike by any means. I don`t know anyone who has one anymore. I am poor but people I know are not. The have the same problems as BWM and KTM. Only licensed dealer mechanics will work on them. Sort of like owning a Ferrari, it`s something you do because you can.

Big Four Nipon bikes, every ones favorites by far. We don`t have nigga Busa memes here, so whiteys can own and ride them without hassles.

Scooters are for women and extremely poor students. Chinese and Korean bikes are for young people and less poor students.

The 690 seems to be more reliable than a lot of other KTMs though.

I had a ktm 450exc, and never ever ever would I own another KTM. The reliability memes are real, it was at the point where I was scared to ride it because I knew something else would break. Ive owned 7 bikes over 9 years of riding, and by far spent more time and money repairing the ktm than I did the other 6 bikes combined.

I've heard that some insurance companies won't insure salvage titles, or will charge more.

Thats a pretty good price, though. Especially if its your first bike and it doesn't matter that the fairing is held together with tape.

>>17424489
May not be an issue. Just check that the engine is ok, and the maintenance was done, etc. The real issue is that if he doesn't have the paperwork then you can't really register it.

I had one crash

>at T junction waiting to turn left
>edge forwards a bit, there's a car coming but I decide to stop and wait for the car to pass
>car behind me rear ends me
>retarded woman didn't even brake, kept going into me for a good few seconds until we were right in the middle of the road

It's a wonder I managed to stay on. She admitted fault and paid for it at least.

>>17424503
Only the shitty ones. Shop around. Some do have restrictions where you get paid less for the bike itself if you wreck but on a $1000 bike then that's really not an issue.

I wan something cheap and am not afraid to learn and fix what is needed in order to save some money.

Is this a bad idea?

https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcy/6184787041.html

Said it still kicks so motor isn't seized, but the throttle cable, gas line, and clutch cable need to be replaced.

Also the ignition is unplugged.

If this is all that's wrong is 940 cash a bad deal?

I plan to chop the rear end and go for a scrambler style for fire roads and commuting.

>>17425199
With motorcycles more so than cars, it you cannot hear and see it run, it doesn't run. If you cannot ride it, it doesn't run and drive.

The ad says runs, but it clearly doesn't. Everything else he says is a lie, too.

>Runs, but is currently apart
Probably in a number of crates.

Also doesn't state miles. Late 70's - early 80's KZ's were not long-lived bikes. Valve jobs at 60k miles, etc.

If you want a long term project, and have no need to be riding soon, I'd buy that for $500. He'll get his $1000 from some hipster wanting a classic KZ

If you want to be riding soon, and it's your first, look for something that runs and drives in a demonstrative way NOW. Also, try for something that weights less than 500 lbs.

First gen SV650's are great bikes and go cheap.

Someone at my workplace has one of these, I laugh every time I see it

>>17425252
Thanks, I like the look but like you said I feel like he's asking too much for something that is in parts.

My.problem is, if it's simple shit to fix, plug it up, route the lines, and sell it as a running bike. But for a whole $30 worth of parts and for him to not fix it leads me to believe other shit is wrong.

Shit a throttle cable, clutch, and fuel lines can all be done in an hour or so right? The ignition system can be wired simply by stripping ends and touching it to the battery correct?

>>17425349
Also forgot to mention he said from his experience mileage is 12-14k based on the condition of the clutch and engine but doesn't have original odometer. Also the rear brake cylinder needs to be advanced whatever that means.

Was hoping for a quick fix but am seeing at least a couple hundred and God knows what else needs fixing.

>>17425346
As you get off the bus?

>>17425349
This had a points ignition (I think, can't be arsed to look up when they went CDI) which had plugs you just plug in. Almost nothing to them.

The cables are easy to install and and easy to adjust if you've done it before, takes a little longer if you havn't done it before. The throttle cable is tricky AF the very first time, just annoying after that.

Fuel line is five inches long. The correct metric needs mail order but the stuff from Autozone works fine with hose clamps.

So yah, if it's so easy, he'd a done it.

T. Had the '82 550cc version of that bike.

I got my new fz09 for $7500 cdn OTD, lowest I could get the dealer down was $11500 for the xsr900. Basically the same bike, 4k difference. Fugg that.

It's like people have a preconception about what a "biker" is and that has been automatically shifted onto me. I only ride a small bike but it doesn't seem to matter, so long as you don't ride a scooter you are suddenly marked as a dangerous risk taker.

I have a black dirt bike that I replaced the gas tank on. The gas tank it has now is plain with no decals and I want to add something to it.

The tank is made of that plastic material I'm assuming all dirt bike gas tanks are made of, so what would be best to do this? Regular paint?

I removed my rear wheel, and what I think are spacers fell out. They were dirty so I cleaned them, should I re-apply grease? Is bicycle grease ok?

Buy a KLR 650 and poke around online since there are some guys that have converted them to diesel. Or you could just ride the piss out of it stock

I hate it when I see people texting and driving too but here in TX it seems like 1/4 of everyone on the road is looking at their phone while they're driving. I'd never get anywhere if I threw a bitch fit and confronted every driver I saw with their phone plastered to their face.

It's like no one gives a shit here, I know several friends who have rear ended someone because they were texting and driving yet most of them continue to do it. I just hate being a passenger in a vehicle when the driver starts typing a text while doing 70mph on the freeway in moderate traffic.

sports bike or cruiser? yes

adventure? no lol, might as well ride a scooter. although saying that, I think vespas are beautiful machines.

>>17425845
Ehhh sort of. I mean, you'll maybe get a couple "nice bike!"s every so often, but, as a Ducati owner, I wouldn't say anyone thinks it's too special.

>>17425841
same but its been positive

Especially when I turn up for interviews and they see me with my helmet and gear, but underneath the gear they see a smart suit and tie, the women especially love it, because they are simple minded sluts. And they go absolutely crazy when I show up with my cello on my back.

I give off a bad boy vibe, but underneath I am professional and smart, both literally and figuratively.

The men view this with jealousy, and either compliment me on my bike and talk about how much they want to ride but don't have the time/money or jokingly laugh that they would probably get themselves killed on one.

getting a motorcycle was probably the best decision of my life.

Squidding it up on my CG125

Bike slipped out from me at 15mph turning left at traffic lights.
Hand crushed and fingernails missing.
Lady I slid in front of was a nurse on her way to work.
She gave me a ride.

Changed clutch today. The basket was all grooved so I filed it down: not sure if that was a good idea but it didn't seem to break anything.

>>17426003
I've been saying I'm going to do the clutch on my DR650 but there isn't much point until I find what box the title is in so I can get it registered here.

The clutch change was on a DR350. Night-and-day difference after, didn't realize how badly it was slipping.

But nerve-wracking to pull the case since I'm in Peru where there are NO parts and I had only one gasket. Seems to be tight so far. If it does leak a little I'll have to live with it.

yes the perception is definitely a good one, it's just how that manifests it's self is ambiguous. It feels like people are holding back from asking a tone of questions in an effort to seem cool but they always end up blurting out the points you mentioned.

I also get into weird situations where I'm the least excited person about my own bike. I'm cucked on a 125 till next year thanks to eu, so when people bring it up I generally talk it down and mention wanting a bigger one etc. No one will accept this, they are still completely flabbergasted by it and talking about wanting something bigger is treated almost like I'm boasting when I'm doing the exact opposite.

The only benefit I'm gong to get socially from doing my direct access will be being able to take girls pillion.

>>17426052
Turned me into a strong safety advocate. Imagine my face when I could have been going any faster like those youtube plebbers.

What you drive?
Yamaha 125
How many crashes did you have?
Im a newb so thankfully none. Only 1 close call and it's because I don't lean enough. m'scared.
Have you accepted your faith yet?
Leaning is my faith.

On another note, just changed the oil, it was OLD. Gears would regularly get stuck and I'l probably notice smoother clutch and engine braking too now..

Feels good.

BTW, I just drained the old oil and put new oil in. I think Im gonna drive it for a few hundred miles and change it again to get all of the old oil that is still in the system. Is that a good idea?

>>17426107
buy cheap ass dino oil and keep flushing it through until it comes out squeaky clean, then put in the good shit

>>17426107
>BTW, I just drained the old oil and put new oil in. I think Im gonna drive it for a few hundred miles and change it again to get all of the old oil that is still in the system. Is that a good idea?

i assume you changed the filter and let the engine run till the oil was warm before draining it? Because that should remove pretty much all of it, any dirt left will be removed by the new filter.

You can always cut your own gasket, but I get you

I had one spill on this pan-America trip. Was in Baja doing ~100kmh when the front went FLAT instantly (no puncture I could find in the tire, the tube just spontaneously came apart). Lost a little speed before going down, was lucky not to veer off into a giant cactus or bolder. Textile jacket worked just as designed not a mark on it. Jeans shredded instantly so now I have a nice big scar on my knee. Thin motocross style gloves wore through so now I have a matching scar on my palm. Solomon hiking boots I use as riding books protected me fine, although the lace holders ripped off (external vs. internal laces seems to be what separates riding boots from others).

>>17426149
fuck tubes i guess.

...bike (DR350) was totally fine besides a broken mirror and scratched up plastics. The mirror stem ground down and protected the brake reservoir which I was really happy about. $20 AliExpress 'bark busters' worked perfectly (the expensive Acerbis ones they replaced bent and broke a lever just from being dropped at a standstill).

Just put in a new tube and drove away.

>>17426170
>on a superstock nevertheless

seems like the superstocks are close to passing the superbikes these days.

Its just harder to set up all that shit on a superbike for that tiny little extra when stocks come with thoroughly tested basic setup and offer all that electronic fine-tuning as well.

I didn't touch the filter. How important is it?

I drove for 30 miles so I was really hot. Immediately emptied the old oil and put in the new oil.

How's that?

you bikefaggots are literally the second worst cancer on /o/

>>17426242
wow i cant even get my bike that clean.
i swear brake dust and bugs just are magnets to my bike

A filter is probably $5.

very important

it also costs jack shit and is easy to change so there is literally no reason to not change it.

Sport riding

Who gives a damn about material wealth when you are a biker it's about ascending the spiritual plains. When you have to balance your bike to within 1 milimetre to the end of the tire and lean your entire body onto the side of your bike - when your face is so close to the ground and you can count each of the individual rocks that make up the asphalt - then you are a driver.

Let's see..You sit in a big metal box with roll cages and 4 tires - all you need to do is make sure you turn the wheel enough. yeah...no thanks.

I was also hit HARD by a 250 Honda dirt bike in Guatemala. The steering stem took all the damage (guy hit me in the front wheel, and it was like 45 degrees to the side after). Frame and shocks were miraculously totally fine.

I just had a sore arm because I was geared up. Test pilot who hit me was of course just wearing a t-shirt and of course had some wicked road rash.
