Was helping my buddy find a bike. Found this.

A 1975 fucking Honda Goldwing cafe racer. It's so god damn hot. I wish it wasn't 1500 miles away. If it was in town I would pay the $4800 in a heartbeat.

Why are motorcycle riding traps so rare?

>>17784084
Traps are rare as it is.
Less than 1% of the population, and motorcyclists are also rare.

You either have to have really low standards, or live up to really high standards.
Most traps are pretty uggo, and passing traps are more unattainable than normal beautiful women.

Yeah it is, but youve also got to remember how fucking big goldwings are. This one is 1100 CCs.

I won't buy it; it's just unfeasible to get there and back to pick it up. I can't get over the fact that it's a fucking goldwing though, and it's so goddamn pretty. Whoever cafe'd that did an amazing job.

That's about a 2500 dollar motorcycle and stripping a Wing is easy to do yourself. Naked Wings are a thing and it does get rid of a lot of the shit I hate removing to work on them.

The carbs should never be left to sit for a long time with fuel in them. They aren't horrid to clean but it's not fun either, and I like carbs. (Best way to remove them is unbolt the intake manifold stubs after removing the airbox, then place clean lint free rags over the intake ports on the cylinder head and slide them out to the right. You'll want LONG needle nose pliers to get the throttle cable.

I can't imagine how fast it would be. 1100CCs, designed to have fairings and saddlebags and big seats and two overweight elderly americans riding on them at highway speeds. With a driveshaft and all that power, the low end torque has to be pretty fucking strong. I bet from a dead stop that thing is ferocious

About the same as the difference between a drz400 and an rmx450z

>>17784286
Neither, 650 twin always for a beginner

>>17784291
I said cheap, like 3-4k aud cheap

>>17784286

I'd honestly recommend at least the CB500F. I have a buddy with one and it's barely enough bike to keep him happy anymore, but it's at least got decent legs for reckless speeding here and there.

>>17784290
And the difference is..?

Like I'm talking difference in offroad performance. I plan on riding to the trails

>>17784288
Doesn't matter because you'd find a way to cry about it. Just know that when a biker sees you on that pigfat garbage we all realise you have a metal disorder. :*

>>17784294
And? You can easily get a 650 twin for that price.

>>17784306
Post bike

>>17784298
less powerful, worse suspension and a spaghetti frame compared to a drz400.
And the drz400 isnt exactly known for having a great frame or even decent suspension so i am sure you can imagine how bad it is on a drz350.
only thing the 350 really has going for it is it's lighter by like 10kg.

>>17784294
Used SV650 is well below that range and is a better bike than anything you have mentioned

>>17784294
just get the cheapest one you like and spend the rest on tyres, gear, fuel and tools. I think a 250 is the minimum you should get just for getting road speed but people still have fun with a 125.

the most important thing for a beginner rider is to just start riding.
if you're getting bored of a bike as quick as people say you will you're not riding for fun enough.

>>17784406

You also need getaway speed on a bike. I actually overlooked this when I got my first bike, and as much as I love it, I can't take it on the highway. I have a 186cc bored Grom with a lot of aftermarket shit, it gets up to 80mph without too many problems and can cruise there. However, it does take some time, I am in 4th (it's just a 4 gear box) by 45mph and it's a slow climb the rest of the way.

I thought, "Hey, I can reach highway speeds, so I'm good." Then I encountered a situation wherein I had to brake pretty hard on the highway to avoid an idiot who lost control. The bike handled great and I avoided a collision, thought I was in the clear. Then I realized I'm going 40 on a highway where people regularly go 80 and ever so slowly accelerating. A guy had to brake/swerve to stop from rear ending me because he couldn't tell how slow I was going. I ended up having to build up speed on a shitty shoulder, hoping for a chance to merge into the flow again.

Something with barely enough power to hit highway speeds is not going to have enough power to save you from shitty situations.

A quick look on wiki show the 1100 to have about 80hp and 65ftlb torque. That thing probably started life as a plane jane GL 1100 and dry weight was just 5 lbs shy of 600. A modern Honda CB500 f/r/x would be a fairly close race for it being it's almost 200lbs lighter.

Comes with Spare set of tires (used)
Ixil muffler
Original muffler will be supplied
Rwc will be supplied once buyer is firm
Will throw in motul chain lube (brand new, never used)

I was originally looking at an R3, but this isn't much more expensive and I was told I wouldn't grow out of it as quickly. Thoughts?

How many kilometres/miles is too much when looking for a second hand bike?

>>17784931
Depends on the bike and if it has been maintained. On a Goldwing owned by a meticulous boomer, 100 thousand miles would still be reasonable to purchase, vs an sxv550 owned by some boyracer 22 year old who smokes pot, over 5k miles would be pushing your luck.
What bikes are you looking at?

>>17784937
all sorts of shit, $2.5k AUD Honda CB400 with 50 000ish KM, 2006 Suzuki SV650S for $3.5k AUD with 27 000 KM, 2003 SV650S for $3.5k AUD with 67 000 KM

basically jap 400-600cc bikes for 3-5k with anywhere between 20 to 50+ thousand kilometres, that sort of shit

>>17784912
Not that i am aware of, it's only an issue actually getting them here.

Those look like the most impractical spot for mirrors, I don't even like bar ends for how far you have to look.

How hard is it to wrench on a motorcycle? Someone in my area is selling a project Honda CMX250 for $600
Pretty sure I can talk him down to a lower price, I've just never performed any auto maintenance.

>>17785043
It's a tradeoff - you have to look quite far down but when you do you actually see a lot more than on regular mirrors.

>>17785046
I think it would be a fun learning experience is all.

>>17785046

I tried ride and it's decent
The roster is pretty wide, but the handling feels wierd, mostly because you can't /feel/ what the bike is doing, i can't play it outside of helmet view

Also it's pretty obvious it's made by italian, there's plenty of boutiques and the RS250 is hilariously overpowered
It out-corners the h2r, which Kawasaki shelled out big time for having it as the hero bike

It's not too exciting.
Her parents are loaded; she has a fair bit of money too but I'm not so well off so I think her dad was worried that I was using her for money.
I saved for ages and bought her a $4k ring, which no one was expecting.
A couple of nights later she asked what bikes I was interested in, and I told her I didn't have any money after buying the ring. She basically said don't worry about that, I should get what I want and she'd help pay for it.

Second this.
And GTA online is fun, just because you run circles around all the cars. I used to literally spend hours getting stoned and buzzing random players, just to see who'd get frustrated enough to play tag. Great for your "sons of anarchy" cosplay dreams, too---with Motorcycle club themed overworld missions. Also handheld grenade launcher.
Going from semi-sim to full arcade can be a shock, though. I've been sticking to Ride 2 only for the last month or so. Just got the RSV4 after collecting every classic Honda. Shit is, frankly, terrifying.
So yeah. Italians.

Second the CB650F. Surprise them further by buying something sensible, but still fun.
Or an A-Twin, if you're into that sort of thing.

>>17785318
Fuel in frame, oil in swingarm
Like on Aprilias the tank is just a plastic cover: underneath there's the airbox
Instead for dual 320s they opted for a rim-mounted, 6pot front brake
The engine is Harley derived and quite frankly the only reason i haven't bought one
Also fuck belt drive

The one thing i did not like at all from ride is that rider aids work nothing like in real life

>>17785335
how the fuck does oil in swingarm even...i dont even

>>17785320
Would you recommend Ride 2 over Ride?

>>17785341
Pretty common, actually
Especially when you consider most of a bike frame is welded boxes (twin spar) or hollow tubes (trellis)

how many km is too many for an r6?

i wanna get a used one but im very cautious with anything above 15k

>>17785343
No idea. I bought two because they had the RC213V-S, as download.
Also scary, but more controllable. I ride a smaller bike in real life, and am just learning how lines work.

>>17785363
15k is nothing, man
Not first service is what? 20? 25k?

Ride 2 seems to be the same but with much more content

>>17785373
its not my first bike

also the r6's are cheapest around where i live, much cheaper than an r1

i wanna take it to the track and learn racing on it, so im thinking its better to do it on a smaller less powerful bike

>>17785363
sport bikes are often hooned around a lot so when buying whats more important than the mileage is the overal look of the bike

if you have a r6 with 20k miles on it and it looks like shit, chain is dirty and slacking, sounds bit weird, has scratches and nicks all over, front seals are leaky etc its prolly closer to its death than a r6 with 40k miles and has overal been taken better care of

>>17785390
>He doesn't do immaculate maintenance, to support poor riding choices...

Its kinda stupid given how that adds to the unsprung weight but it saves up on space and Buells are all very compact built, especially given their large engines.

No, I landed on my ass (? i think, it was all very fast) and rolled to the all 4s. I have a slight scratch in the bottom of my back.
Can your m8 walk?

Any bike only fags here?
I'm going to be one soon because australian laws are shit and I'd like to drive by myself without having to wait 8 more months. What backpack do you use for things like grocery shopping? Planning on getting a givi e400 or something as well.

>>17785551
I have never owned a car and don't intend getting one ever, unless there are some special circumstances. I use a regular Dakine backpack. I don't have to drive to get my groceries, though, because I don't live in some weird place where you don't exist if you don't have a car

>>17785549
He can walk, but barely. Has no feeling in either leg below the knee and his ankles were shattered, so they are immobile now.

>>17785565

>>17785545
Depends on the bike. Try both. Try it somewhere safe.

it's a £40 min for most places in the uk, just get $100 of ramen packets or whatever it is you eat and pick up the bits and bobs as you need them

>>17785614
OK, here's what you do.
Get a tank bag.
Ride around at night.
Run over as many cats, squirrels and possums as you can. Collect the carcasses. Loot them for teeth.
Make bracelets out of the teeth. Sell them. Buy more fuel to kill more animals.
DO NOT get rid of the carcasses. Keep them in the tank bag. The smell will help deter people. If someone doesn't get the hint (e.g. cager says shit to you at stoplights), retrieve one of the half-rotted corpses and throw it into his window. Willy off into the sunset.

>>17785626
That's an expensive parfum for Portlanders.

Never had anybody tell me that, ever.

so laid the bike down for first time ever, was from stand still tho

been riding for about 5 to 6 months now so i guess it had to happen some day

best bike on earth. be careful with the 4.5-5k flat spot, because the two-stroke "kick" comes right after it
nothing, i repeat, nothing is comparable to that kick. its one of the best feelings on the planet. it is a tad bit heavy, and finding tires for r18 wheels is kind of a pain. but i wouldnt give it up for anything else.
highly recommend running castor oil from time to time
>t. i own one

>>17785942
No, I'm American, I'm 6'3" (1.91 meters) and I ride a Triumph Daytona and I fit on most bikes, it's pretty rare to find one I don't. Unless you're 6'4"+ you don't need an ADV or cruiser to fit on.

DRZ is "better" but it comes down to what you want out of a dual sport. The DR350's frame is good, a lot of people actually prefer it for its strong subframe for racks and luggage. It's air cooled and easy as fuck to work on on the side of trails. The dirt models and late '98-99 models had decent suspension but if you don't mind projects, you can install better forks and a proper spec rear spring. You can big bore it up to 440cc for DRZ power but with 6spd. Plus, DR350 looks like an actual dual sport. The DRZ looks like an obese mx bike.

>>17785377
it was gud

>>17785568
Full gear, armor pants and all. I behind him and it's one of the scariest things I've ever seen. He was doing about 35mph and accelerating, rear slipped out and then he highsided right under a Chebby Silverado 3500 then the bike tumbled/slid into his legs and munched his ankles. Oddly, he ended up becoming pretty good friends with the truck driver and his wife. The guy felt awful but my friend doesn't blame him at all.

His poor bike (Honda 919) was a total loss. All that survived (iirc) was his battery, power commander, right-side frame slider, and left passenger peg. Not really sure how but the forks, frame, wheels and swing arm all got twisted.

He had no road rash though, and his helmet was split right in half but he only had a minor concussion. Gear saved his life for sure.

It was 4 years ago. He still rides snowmobiles and he recently bought a cheap scooter so he can get back on 2 wheels.

castor oil is the fucking best man.
synth technically is better, because you dont need to de-gum your engine every once in a while, and it lubes just as well. (spoilers, it also uses castor oil as an additive)
does not beat castor oil tho. it is still slightly better due to the coating it makes on bearings

(plus synth smells like death when burnt)

>>17785968
Or for off road riding you could just get a proper dirt bike.
if money is an issue a 2005 rm125/250 goes for cheap.

Yeah he got super unlucky but lucky at the same time. Had he crashed .5 seconds sooner, he would have missed the truck and just slid through the open intersection. Had he gone down any later, he would have been crushed by a dump truck.

>I actually fell for the meme
Fuck this I'm grabbing a mystery meat 150cc off alibaba for $400 and going over the handlebars

I planned to take a basic course before i actually buy anything, but it seemed like a good price. Why shouldn't i actually want a gs500 for basic bitch point a point b driving?

>>17786095
all fairing mounted mirrors are like that. firmly attached to the fairing stay.

you can normally get away with a little bending and a drilled and retapped hole for the bolt. or weld it.

>>17786181
once you ride a bike with three or more cyllinders or two cyllinders in a V or a flat plane you'll understand

some people just decide they hate motorcycles when they start on those garbage I2s. british "standard" bikes were never awesome and neither are their budget grade japanese clones.

>>17786193
Budget grade is my price range.
I dont think i need much, no plans to drive on the highway because i live in Georgia and people cant fucking drive.
What should i be looking for?

>>17786169
once you get up on a 2smoke there's no going back
people who ride literbikes love how the 350 pulls
>>17786168
castor oil is honestly a godsent man.
i run my rz on the stock 25:1 autolube setting and runs like a raped ape.

>>17786129
i peeled away some of the removable foam inside and it hasn't helped.

>>17786214
25:1 for what bike lol?
i don't even run oil that rich if i am riding at the track, just fouls spart plug after spark plug.
riding trails ill mix 40:1

>>17786213
Bikes don't stay in their original price ranges in the used market. A ninja 650 and ninja 600 will easily sell for the same price, although they would be a few years apart. You can buy a well kept, high end machine for budget shit poo in loo SEA scooter prices just because it's an 05 instead of an 07.

I recommend learning to ride on a very small bike that does not go on public streets and then getting a four cyllinder with not more than 90ish at the wheel and a "boring" torque curve so it's not savage off the line. Shitbikes aren't going to help you learn to ride more safely. Staying off public roads where you can easily be forced into bad situations or trick yourself into them will.

Your small bike should be provided by a friend who wants to help you out or professionally administered riding classes. And then that's it, it's over, you give it back, you had your period as a learner. You've invested maybe $400 at the end of all of it and you know if you should ride a motorcycle or if you are a dumbass that whisky throttles over bumps and has to think about how to turn the fucking thing.

>>17786247
Oh and yeah you can always buy a shitty used and abused 600 for 2 grand and promise yourself to short shift everywhere. You probably will anyways.

>>17786172
But in the city the roads are clear, the back roads are the problem

>>17785915
The trail attack is a pretty damn good street tire for your GS. Do you want to go to a full sport touring tire?

>>17786238
25:1 for my rz350
i just rebuilt her, so im letting her run a bit rich
could go as low as 50:1 tho
did that before she blew up.
25:1 works better tho. just WOT every one in a while to clean them plugs, never had fouling problems

Do you ride the highways in winter? How cold does in get in your area?

Any leafbros have a suggested gear retailer?

>>17786285
>Do you ride the highways in winter?
Yes

>How cold does in get in your area?
-5 - -10 isn't uncommon, warm enough to sweat in my suit. The rain is normally the bigger problem.

>>17786083
why would someone put that much money into a GS500e rather than an SV650?

>>17786298
That's like asking why someone would modify a shitbox to be decently powerful when they could just buy a decent modern car.

>>17786294
We had as low as -35 C last winter, -15 - -20 is a usual deal. And the road cleaning is not always so good.

>>17786313
This is why:

GS500: $1500, sick mawds: $500 just for the fucking pipe
Yamaha R6: $3500

Honda civic: $3000
Sick mawds: $2000 ebay turbo kit
Nissan 350z/Infinity G35: $10,000

>>17786327
Gs500 after sick mawds: 40hp
R6 stock: 127hp
???

>>17786332
honda civic after sik mawds 250hp
350z 300hp
?????

>>17786332
Civic after sick mawds: 200hp and still a civic
350z: 300HP sports car

>>17786247
I was planning on taking a basic course anyways to get the license test waiver and after that putting around the neighborhood streets until i was confident enough, then commuting.

Guess I'll do my own digging for models to look out for. Thanks for the advice!

dude don't listen to him

you can 100% start on a literbike if you're responsible and do track days. get a bike you can grow into. get a liter.

no
liter
no

>>17786356
A 600 is a fine beginner bike
Liter may be a bit much

no anon, this is the trending tab on 9gag

Whats the point in 4 cylinder bikes when 2 cylinder is better in literally every single way?

>more torque
>better mpg
>won't go at 186mph which almost nobody ever does anyway
>infinitely more fun

>>17786364
I have a zx14r, but I have also been riding street bikes for 12 years...

>>17786367
Ride an inline 4 and maybe you'll get it.

>shakes the entire bike so badly at speed that your everything goes numb in an hour

>>17786367
>less smoothness
>less revs
>less power
yeah 4cyl are pointless amirite

>>17786369
I have, it felt smoother sure at idle/low revs but thats the only plus point

>>17786371
I just did a 1200 mile trip over 5 days on my bike and it was fine.

>>17786377
Oh wow you pinned it at 6000RPM for an hour so it seemed to smooth out

Now try actually riding one and it's fucking disgusting.

>>17786377
It's smoother across the entire rev range. It also makes heaps more power across the board, and has a higher redline.

This is a detuned i4

when i started on an inline two i was always hunting and shifting for a rev range where the engine felt comfortable and never found it

in the first five minutes of riding a V twin i was instantly happy with the way the engine was making power
in the first five seconds of starting up an I4 i was comfortable, and it just buzzed along and sailed down the road at however fast you wanted it to go
every V4 i've ever gotten to ride has been pure sex
and thumpers are a proper sort of exciting in the way they make power. it's like riding a turbo tractor.

basically everything is better than the typical ptwin

>>17786394
(not scyl shill)
what is the point in de-tuning? flatter torque line and "smoother" power delivery?

>>17786401
*2cyl

>>17786401
So that the naked bike is slower than the faired SuperSports counterpart. Also much more friendly powerband

>>17786404
ew
what does it do to carbon buildup?

>>17786414
Nothing. It just moves the powerband down a little, which also decreases power because power is a function of revs.

>>17786395
V-twin cruiserfag here. V is infinitely better than P-twin. Even a 250 V feels better and usually has more torks than a 250 P. I like my I4 enough I guess, it's basically a fucking tractor (old Honda CBX). Still think a big V twin sounds better than anything else though.

>>17786417
i know, but i can see it making people a little more "used" to lugging it (exactly like it happens on i6's)

>>17786425
>lug i4
>go down 100rpm
>CHUGGA CHUGGA CHUGGA IM GOING TO FUCKING BREAK

Any adventure motorcyclists out there? I'm taking inspiration from Ed and his c90adventures and I'm doing an extremely long voyage from the northern most point to the Western, eastern and then to California off road on a Suzuki >>17777777 drz400s. Anyone have any tips?

You're going to want to die. Just buy a touring bike/adv and forget the trails

>>17786429
You used a clutch before dog?

>>17786457
Yeah clutches are fucking great. Thank god mine is bathed in oil or it would be toast from all the parking lots and bumper to bumper traffic with marked police cruisers everywhere.

t. UJM rider

The vast majority I4s are tuned for a little more power these days. It's not that the engine layout has to be revvy, but if you have a lightweight, oversquare I4 in a light vehicle that doesn't demand a lot of torque to move it's well suited to it so why the fuck not
