>>17539043
First for 99% of you are retards that don't know how insurance works and opt for completely optional collision/comprehensive on your bikes when you shouldn't be

t. Someone that pays $450/year to insure a gsxr 600, gsxr 1000, and ninja 250

>>17539103
This. It's an optional vehicle and 100% of repairs can be done in your garage somehow, especially if your bike is common enough to buy whole new undamaged assemblies out of salvage yards instead of rebuilding your forks etc from scratch. And, on top of that, they lend themselves to very easy customization if you can't afford to return to stock. Why do you need insurance to fix it if you didn't buy brand spanking new shit?

So you don't think DVLA will realise a mistake has been made later on?

I really hope the worst that can happen is they send my correct license to me in the post, and I just SORN my bike and redo the test.

They look the part and have a nice enough range. What's not to like?

Other than the price, of course, but that is also justified because they are made by the finest obese craftsmen of Austria.

Congratulations, you're now an American motorcycle rider.

I also know that examiners like to pass students because if they fail, a lot of paperwork needs to be done, whereas a pass is just simply putting a tick in the pass box and that's that.

I think he just wanted to get back to the test centre and then get off work fast as a crash is probably a major ball ache to write up about, plus it may not look good on him if a student crashed on his watch.

That's not a naked, that's a standard with a faired derivative called a super bol'dor.

Also, two things

Honda never sold that or its bigger version to the US, like we'd want this instead (apparently we do. youtubers think the look "sick" and adults just ride VFRs)
And they discontinued the 400 for a two cyllinder.

Can i be a part of this?
it's not a standard, it's a ujm and Americans don't want them because they wouldn't pay for them when a cbr500 is moar cc and like totally a sports bike thats cheaper bro.

why would you get a bike? do you like being exposed and vulnerable like that? no one likes bikers, i see one and have the urge to ram him with my car just because i have to be more "careful" around them. one biker the other day was being a bitch, not too bad but annoying, i could have ended his life there was no one around. watch out

>>17539030
Saving up for my first bike soon, something I haven't looked into (because it doesnt really matter) is have people treated you differently or assumed things about you that they didnt before you had a bike? Just curious.

I hate having to be careful around meatbags. I hate meatbags. They're all ittle bitches. "oooh man in a car don't run me over aaaah". One pull of the trigger and you fucking normies are toast. If there's noone around I can kill literally anyone who bothers me without even scratching my paint. Watch out, and remember, you could have always taken the car instead of walking like a faggot.

>>17539270
Americans don't want them because they have two extra cyllinders to make the same amount of power as a cheap two cyllinder that gets the same or better gas mileage and is easier and cheaper to maintain.

The one and only rich guy I know only buys used ducatis for fun and has a VFR800 with some big fat cases on it as a summer DD. His winter DD is a subaru outback. He's also my cousin. Dude's worth 7 million in checking accounts alone. Why don't more people do that? I guess poor people are worried about all those out of warranty ducati problems and parts availability. This guy, however, eats $200 steak with his besst friend/mechanic on saturdays, and that's not even expensive. If you talked to him about buying used jap scrap he'd think it's cool but ask you why you're looking at USDM bikes and not imports and insist it's worth the extra money.

The poorest guy I know is a canadian immigrant who rides a brand new financed and dealer serviced Vrod. He tells other guys 'you look poor on that thing bro' and tells sportbike riders to consider a harley, eh.

So, I think people who try to feel superior about buying new and use phrases like "your place in life" are actually bitter poorfags who wish they could give as few fucks as that rich guy.

and it's a GSXR. you have tonnes of inspiration from thousands of other customized GSXRs from across the world and you awkwardly line the bottom of your bike with teenage girls from the worst anime of 2016?

someone please relieve him of his bike and restore it to a less infuriating state.

I'm partial to a Shoei Neotec

This list is a little old but helps with identifying similarly shaped helmets to ones which you find fit:
http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-helmets/motorcycle-helmet-shapes.htm

>>17540254
Helmets are something you really want to try on in a store.

Just get whatever fits the best in your budget.

So, can you reuse inner tubes that have been inside a radial tire, or is that a no-no? Burned up a Shinko 735 in only about 5k, wondering if I need to replace the tire and tube, or just the tire.

Any Shoei or Arai.

You buy a shitty helmet now and you'll upgrade to a shoei/arai next season.

Anybody got any reasonable quality images of their bikes they want editing? I'm bored and feel like playing in photoshop.

>>17540319
Sure, just inspect it before hand for thin spots/rub marks if it was chafing inside the tire.

>>17540242
Isaac Babbitt is spinning in his grave

What pressure should I have in my Pilot Road 3 on my SV650?
Hot tire or cold tire? How long do I have to ride to get the tire hot enough in case?

>>17540444
300 bar, cold

>>17540444
Go with the manual and do the pressures cold. Everything from speed to corner gradient to ambient temperature and a million other factors will influence how long it takes to warm up and, on an SV650, the tire being warm won't be the limiting factor in anything but a drag race.

>>17540254
highly depends on your budget, and what you want out of the helmet, most people don't need a hardcore trackday helmet like the $1400 agv pista, but may want more than what a $100 bell qualifier offers. Neither of those are particularly bad helmets for their segments, but price to value is something to consider.

Rode to LA today for a job interview and almost got side swiped by a woman driving a Corolla.
I kinda don't care about getting that job now even though it pays way better if I have to put up that shit traffic everyday.
