As a rule of thumb I find I can easily take corners at twice the posted limit, if I'm just riding casually that is.

I tell myself that I don't want a sport bike, that they aren't practical on the street, and that I like torque low down, and that I need more practice before moving into a sport bike.

Then I watch motogp and stuff like this and I get insanely jelly.

It's better than you can possibly imagine, and if you're worried about the low end torque buy literally anything but a 600, liters, 750s, twins, triples, all of them have as much low end torque as you'll need.

Full ti exhaust with duc and full ti/cf race system optional with 10RR...drops weight to within lbs of the duc. 10RR head set-up with DLC tappets for higher rev and more power from optional kit cams. Optimized motor set-up for optional race pistons. Both bikes have Brembo M50's with full float 330mm discs. Both have special paint/graphics. Both have marchesini rims. 10RR has non-active but best front end analog from oem units.

10RR= 18.9k
1299R Final= 39.9k

Drop in kit cams and full system and tune it/derestrict/bump redline with a small portion of the 21k (TWENTY-ONE FUCKING K'S) left from the difference in price = more power than duc and within pounds. Add optional race pistons for extreme butthurt.

It's just dirty carbs from the fuel sitting right? I'm taking it in tomorrow after I change the oil, oil filter, and air filter. I haven't done any maintenance since buying it but that'll be the first. I really don't want this to be a problem bike and it doesn't look it but the idle had been a problem and now this is an advancement of that. I've put maybe 80 pretty relaxed miles on it since buying.

I just want reassurance /dbt/, I don't want my first bike to be a total bitch and from what I know of carbs and this bike it points to carbs, no?

Lads, I'm getting a bike in a few months. I was looking at the cb500f or saving up a bit more and getting an fz07, sv650, or z650. Not really sure which one to save up for since all the reviews for the latter three are "lol you can't go wrong with any of them!" and the 500 I've ridden around on already and it's pretty friendly.

>>17590598
The 500 is the sensible choice. If you're a tall/gangly bastard you might want to look at the CB500X.

The fact is you can't say that a cafe racer sucks when you can't even mention something that suits what I am after more.

It does not make any sense to do that.

For example if someone says I want a datsun 1600 because it's old cool looking and still handes well.

You need to suggest a similar car such as a 70's celica that meets the same criteria...

You can not just say "get a wrx" because that doesn't even meet the idea that the person wants.

This is essentially what you are doing with cafe racers and it is not logical.

It's saying something that doesn't make sense just out of emotion and it's pretty much how women think.

I think the nature of bikes can lend them a more mechanical appearance. All the fancy stuff you'd see in a car is usually located somewhere inside it's body while a motorcycle is nothing but the machinery itself, which makes anything out of the ordinary really stick out.

Who buys supersports new anyways, I was looking at insurance costs, and shits like 400 bucks a month for the r1.

So what ways can you customise a cb400sf without going cafe racer or street fighter style?

Because I am pretty sure I hate cafe racers made from late model bikes.
There is something fake about them that I hate.

You think the big manufacturers like Kia, Nissan, Toyota, Ford, Honda, Dodge.. whatever, care about what the car looks likes like as long as they can pump out their cheap models the most? Last I checked, most of their cars look like your normal cheapo-robot made cars, anon. Only a few models are actually nice looking.

>tfw you will never be successfully trapped
I'm into them, but 99% of them look like dudes. Unless they get skeletal face surgery and start taking estrogen early on I can tell right away

>>17591558
And when I say robot made cars, I mean cars that people design without putting actual thought into how it looks.

>>17591559
yeah traps are ugly af. The fags who claim they are 99% feminine are 99% wrong.

>>17591559
It's kinda hard to tell if they are men or just females with high testosterone until they talk.

>>17591567
>99%
100%*
If its got a penis, it's not feminine.

04 was at work.. Only have pics of wiring harness piggyback as it looked like it was installed by a child with shit going everywhere.

The successful one make me hard enough to cut diamonds though

>>17591254
Yeah, I always tend to expect the worst from people when it comes to taking a stranger's word on the internet. Still tho, I do feel real bad for inconveniencing you guys. It was never my intention.

>>17591583
That's pretty gay, anon.

>>17591587
If you say so, don't really care. I just want to inseminate a cute boipussy.

>>17591587
Nah, wanting to see people who look like men everywhere is gay.

>>17591584
I don't get it. How are you so autistic to think a meet is fake?

>>17591122
even if it was a "joke" then you're really not losing anything even if you fall for it. you just get a dank ass ride. Especially if more than one person falls for it, then it is real.

You want people who look like men to walk around on the street looking like men.

That's kinda gay.

Only closet homos don't like traps.

>You can get/damn near get a whole nother 1st gen 10R for that price right?

I told the customer that but he insisted.. Then he binned no more than 150 m up the road due to new tyres... So at the end of the job was more like 5500. So yeah, for that price even get newer than gen 1

it turns out brake cleaner is a great way to kill spiders

>>17591639
Wd40 too

>>17591645
You can bring a loved one back to life with some Wd40. It's just all in your mind what you want it to do.

>>17591645
No shit? What about PB blaster? Does it work on wasps?

>>17591606
Idk, it just seemed like something 4chan would do to make someone drive hours on end for no reason.

Ohh shit that's a great way to blow funds. Did you remind him of the high speed generator that liked to grenade on the 04's? kek

>>17591687
I use april-ah because that's how I hear it on most youtube videos.

>>17591567
I was super trappy from 13-25 then overnight pretty much I couldn't pass anymore.

Once I didn't fit the girly trappy image my desire to suck cocks and get railed went down sharply. Kind a miss it sometimes Analgasms are great but I hate my body now.

>>17591718
Take it to /b/, faggots.

Traps are gay. Men attracted to traps after finding out they are men are also gay. Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken. Fucking another man in the ass is gay. gay gay gay Only men who want to be attracted to other men like traps. This is science and it is settled.

>>17591687
Ah pril yea

>>17591730
There actually was a scientific study that found the opposite but imagine whatever you want

>>17590448
send it to me you fuck, i'll send it to you

>>17591741
this desu

Why are so many traps into bikes?

>>17591687
Had somebody ask if my bike was an apreeyuh a while ago, anything besides that is acceptable

>>17591749
If you're attracted to a dick, you're gay. That's the definition of being homosexual, what the fuck are you trying to argue against here? If you find yourself attracted to a male, you are fucking gay doesn't matter if it looks like a chick, it's still a dude and the same sex as you, if you're a male, can't argue that.
