How's this for a first bike? Is buying something that old gonna bite me in the ass? I'm not opposed to learning how to do some maintenance, but i'd rather not spend all my time/money fixing shit.

>>15315085
Old bikes as first bikes are great, same goes for cars. But 94 could be a little too old for a bike imo. I would recommend a very popular naked bike from around 2000. Naked bikes are usually very easy to maintain and a very popular bike will benefit from cheap and easily accessible aftermarket parts.

>>15315115

>94
>>15315140
look at how the texture there is all wavy and roughed up. It's definitely used to the edge.
That appears to be where the tire compound changes.
>>15315146
>>15315146
look at the center of the tire where it is almost bald.
>>15315152
That just happens with age, if it's still shiny, it's never been ridden on. It should look like >>15315100 if it's been down all the way. No shiny spots at all.

Maybe but if something breaks it's gonna be expensive asf for the modern bikes just as for the 80s bikes. So a bike from around 2000 ""''"may"""" need more maintance but at least it's gonna be cheap. Sooner or later every bikes gonna need a repair.

>>15315140
It's just burnt lmao. This fucker spends more time on his side than on the straight and because the whole bike is on those 2 cm of tire while you're taking a corner it gets hotter than driving a straight line where your bike is on about 6 cm of tire. I hope you could understand what I was saying, English is my third language. Either way gr8 b8.

Don't have pics but is anyone elses strips smaller on one side than the other? I've got maybe a quarter of an inch on the left side, and closer to 3/4s on the right.

most of the irl motorcycle community is a bunch of high vis uncles that like to drive to a cafe and back on the weekends. Save for the few people I ride with, I see a lot of lame people.
>>15315268
Man you wouldn't want to see my chicken strips on the left side. I swear there are no good left turns here. The tire looks just like it did when I bought the bike.
>>15315265
>lying on the Internet
Ok newfriend :)
>>15315192
Does your bike even start? It looks like you just walked it out of your garage and back a couple times.
I'm a sedate speed-limit abiding sort of a rider and my strips are thinner than that.
>>15315251
look at the tread depth though. Saying it spends more time on the side than the center is definitely an exaggeration
>>15315280
Mine are slightly larger on the left side too. I think because right turns are usually sharper since you're not turning around the other lane.
>>15315272
No, she dicktrapped you. Thats why you had to pay child support for 18 years and she stayed on welfare.
>>15315290
There are no strips on that tire, are you blind?
>>15315251
wow you're dumb. It wouldn't be shiny if that was the case. Tires that are overheated get shredded and look nothing like that. It's simply never been scrubbed in on the side. Maybe it's touched pavement a few times, but never long enough to heat it up.
Arguing about strips is dumb but this is just misinformation.

Any drunk frat boy knows how to apply the front brake and throttle at the same time
If skill is about maneuvering a machine, wear on the center rear tire with ffresh tread on the side it doesn't mean shit. Your mom's minivan has thinner chicken strips.

>>15315350
lol dont do that, do trailbraking
>>15315367
They can vary a lot even on the same bike at the same speed depending on what tires you use and what pressures you run.
But they are a bit of an indicator as to how the rider does in turns.
Should I AMA?
>>15315310
First thing I thought of when I read his post.
my peugeot is overheating.
i think the head gasket's gone
i crashed the aprilia
ill be left without vehicles and i just got cucked by my oldest friend
not suicidal or anything but ive definitely been better.
>>15315377

What are you going to do?
>>15315260
I've been switching groups constantly because most of these guys ride for facebook pictures. Including old guys that rather share their restaurant food in our group than bike related stuff
I just want someone a little bit enthusiastic about bikes, fuck most riders ask me what the H2R is if I mention it. Or don't trust me when I offer to do the oil change, they rather bring it to a mechanic.
>>15315279
>high vis uncles that like to drive to a cafe and back on the weekends
Fucking worst kind. Even Harley guys are more chill.
>>15315350
Your nobike is clearly showing.
Have a look at the leading edge of the tread block on the outside of his tire. See how its hooked up, also the tire is the same color all over it. He has no strips.
But you dont need heaps of lean angle to get rid of strips on adventure bike tires.
He was showing that chicken strips are a pointless indicator. You can get rid of them by counterbalancing and doing figure 8's.
>>15315392
usually id go for a night drive but im pretty sure that would make the engine go boom boom.
my friends dont know how to help they think making me meet whores will help

>>15315396
>people like to be safe and enjoy themselves
Yea, what horrible people.
Stfu faggot
>>15315387
I don't know what "title" means in this context but you seem a little buttfrustrated my friend :^) I hope getting a bike sometime will cheer you up
>>15315377
An indicator how a rider does in turns is exit speed. Chicken strips are an indicator how little room they have to improve it no matter how shit it might be.
If you want to actually go fast the goal is the least lean angle for a given speed.
>>15315396
i wear hi-vis sometimes :(
my 6v lights are dodgy and my bike is gray
people have followed me home to tell me i'm more invisible than the average bike
>>15315410
Enjoy being Muslim friend :)
>>15315409
Being safe and enjoying yourself is not necessarily worthy of any respect.
>>15315400
>You can get rid of them by counterbalancing and doing figure 8's.
You can get the shiny stuff off that way but to actually get the tread blocks rounded/hooked you actually have to be carrying some momentum and getting on the throttle through the turn.
>But you dont need heaps of lean angle to get rid of strips on adventure bike tires.
I don't know about those specifically but my experience tells me that skinnier bias ply tires have been much harder to destrip than supersport tires on the same bike.

>>15315433
>>15315280
Maybe that's why, there's a sick corkscrew near my house and I always hit the first turn (left) a lot harder than the second.
>>15315428
He restricted it?
>>15315428
Well I had no other options to restrict it. Also in 1st and 2nd gear I'm reaching the complete limit at 16k RPM with unrestricted power. Good enough

byebye second gear
>>15315412
Yeah we all saw that video, but if you are not leaning as much you can to the form of the tires, it means you can go faster.
>>15315400
Nobody is gonna run figure 8s in the parking lot to impress anyone.
Chickenstrips mean something if you ride a sport bike or you ride motorcycles for the track or for the canyons. Nobody is looking at uncle hi-viz on his BMW gs1200 for chicken strips when he goes camping.

m8 it locks your throttle, you're reaching 16k rpm but you're reaching it half as fast. So please don't pretend you know what a big bike feels like, you will shit your pants once you can crack it fully open when unrestricted.

>>15315532
Please return when you're over 18
>>15315516
Lol no. Staymad on your cuckbike bbyboy
>>15315532
Well it basically shocks your entire drive train as you dump the clutch. I'd say it's probably bad for pretty much everything but usually it's not much of an issue. Most of the time bikes get crashed and thrown out before they break down, and the rest of the time it's usually the top end that goes before the clutch, transmission, etc.
>>15315472
>Nobody is gonna run figure 8s in the parking lot to impress anyone.

Depends on the bike, the compression ratio and your valve tolerance and probably some other factors.
Modern engines are extremely robust with wide safety margins, but some guy engine braking like a fucking lunatic all the time will end up shortening the life of their engine.

Don't you get concerned about "emergency" situations where you need to call for help though? Like if you broke down or crashed and needed help?
So what kind of build do you guys have in dark souls? I didn't know what I was doing in the first one so I just dumped all my points into everything but faith, intelligence, strength, dexterity and resistance, and that made for some funtimes when I was trying to deal significant damage to the big O&S.
In DS2 I'm being much more focused, got the ashen mist heart and have 40 STR so I'm pretty OH COME THE FUCK ON HOW LONG WILL I HAVE TO WAIT BEFORE I'M HASBIKE AGAIN
>dark souls
Fuck that game. I couldn't even make it out of what I presume was the introduction. I kept swinging but I didn't seem to be doing any damage. After half an hour I just gave up. Glad I only paid like $15 for the game instead of MSRP.
>>15315907
If it was the first time you saw the demon and had the broken sword, you were supposed to run past and through the door on the left and get your -real- starting weapon, which significantly damages it. The broken sword is garbage, but if you manage to kill it with it, you get a bitchin' later-game weapon early on.
Anyone in Riverside County? Are there any Dbt get togethers?
>>15315877

>>15315918
I can't even remember. I just generally don't have a good time with games that give you little to no direction.

I skipped to the fight. What happened? The guy passed the biker? From there I presume the biker followed him to a wal mart parking lot and confronted him, where the driver got out and proceeded to be a total cunt, then the biker hit him?
From there it was interesting how the mexicunt tried to act all tough, and then after the Wal-Mart employees stepped in he was like "who hits someone in America?"

but yeah, that's cool to have some baiku friends

Why do dirt bikes always have that pointy, spade-shaped rear fender?
Every low-displacement dirtbike made by anyone has that same style.
>>15315982
Cheap and effective. You don't want to get more mud than necessary on your shirt
>>15315852
holy shit, im on there!
i didn't know anyone saved my pic.
>>15315761
That dude is way too ugly to be acting like an asshole.
Like fat chicks that act bitchy it just doesn't work.
I just skipped to the part where he got btfo
Is it even possible to find this bike in America nowadays?
>>15315996
My not just chop it short, or bend it down a bit or something? It's always level with the seat and sharp-looking.
>>15315982
cuz rooster tails
wait, i swear i've seen this post a few times before. dejavu or faggotry?
Bike started leaking this. What is it and Wat do ????
>>15316013
Rin a shit
>>15315970
I know I can always count on yellow forked DR guy to be lurking. And thanks man. I'm ordering The shinko tires that are 60 offroad and 40 on as a celebration present. Wish me luck.
>>15315982
That's the "in" style. Similar to how most sport bikes have that wedge shaped rear fender that points up and to the back.
>but muh busa
That's pretty much the only current bike which differs from that design.
Also check out this pic: >>15315845 where it angles down instead.
>>15316033
your bike is incontinent, do like 3 sets of 10 reps of kegel exercises, give it a week or two and it should be better
>>15316007
forgot my trip
>>15316040
not like i have anything better to do during the weeknights.
which tires did you go with?
>>15315852
Saved for future use.
>>15316033
Most likely oil.
What does it feel/smell like? Is it red?
>>15316022
The design varies a little by model. There's only so much you can do with a single piece of plastic.
>chop it short
Then it loses its effectiveness at performing its main function. Ronnie Mac chops his though
>>15316013
Allow me to distract you from the answer you will get with this piece of shit
>>15316022
Do you want to carry around an extra 20lbs of mud stuck in the back of the fender?
>>15316056
I still have the trailwings on and the back reallyyy needs a new one the front is doing ok but I'd just as soon get them both swapped because I have the money so why not.
Recommend me a bike that won't kill me guys I'm heading to the dealer this weekend.
My bike feels slightly lean in the mid range. Do I go up a size on the main jet or adjust the needle position to open slightly earlier?
>>15316086

Watched the whole thing, 5/10, They're both kinda hilarious but seriously retards.
If I was the biker guy I would have laughed and went along my business, the guy was douchey but not overtly dangerous or anything. They talked stupid for like, 10 minutes straight.
Also the biker is dumb for buying a new KLR from a dealer and he's a soft, squishy, pussy for being medically retired.
>>15316086

I guess this makes sense, thanks. Just think it looks kinda dumb and I feel like I'd take a hacksaw to it.
>>15316095
A DRZ?
>>15316086
WR250r.
>>15316083
put them on yourself, all you need is tire irons, a pump and baby powder. itll save you a lot of money over time.
>>15316086
dr650, but i wouldnt go to a dealer unless you have to finance a bike
>>15316113
yah
>>15315761
>gets knocked on his ass by one fucking punch
>gets up and keeps talking shit
holy fuck, that punch must have taken the last brain cell he had left.
>>15316118
>250
>for a first bike
Madman. He definitely needs to get the meme machine WR125R
>>15316119
desu man I try to do almost all work myself but I can't be fucked to change tires. Dont you have to balance them too?
>>15315071
he'll probably stop when retards like you stop replying. Unfortunately you can't help yourself because you're a little babby boo boo bitch.
>>15316126
WR250R is the only 250 I''d ever suggest. It's fuel injected and has 6 gears, it does about as well as a DRZ400 or DR650 on the highway.
Slower acceleration is about it.
>>15316128
>Dont you have to balance them too?
not necessarily.
>>15316128
nah, theyre usually close enough not to need any weights unless you put clamps on them.
at the very least do the front tire yourself, its not much harder than a bicycle tire.
and splurge and get some of those super ultra heavy duty almost a tire in itself tubes
>>15316126
>WR125
>in the states
I don't think they even sell it here, it was probably judged to slow to be safe.
What's the cheapest I should pay for a first time bike?
>>15316120
every time i see this clip i want to get a bike that can do this
>>15316153
>>15316120
Wut city is this?
>>15316158
dallas iirc. could be totally wrong tho.
>>15316138
Speaking of highway riding dual sports- my DRZ gets a headshake when travelling much over 70mph. It's not like a tank slapper or anything but it is intimidating. The engine does fine at those speeds though with my current gearing.
Anyone else get headshake issues? I'm sure it probably has a lot to do with my setup. I've dropped the front end on the forks, raised the bars, have unbalanced tires, and run a cheap 50/50 dual sport tire up front only rated for 75mph. I'm sure those all of those contribute, but I've done all those for a reason and don't want to sacrifice my turning ability.
>>15316013
Anyways, barely any 400s of any kind are ever sold in the US because those bikes exist to fit the Japanese "normal" license limit. What North America did get were various GS750S/1000/1100S models from '82 to '86 (SZ, SD, SE). The 750 was redesigned with a pop up headlight in '84.
The GSX400S actually wasn't introduced until '92 though, the kawaii cartoon bike is something like a '96 and they were made until '99. 250 Katana was from '91-'99. (that does make importing them something of a possibility if you really love bad decisions) They pretty much stopped making Katanas in general because the design was too fucking old for emissions standards.

nice

dat target fixation
dude almost got his head run over

>>15316155
One of these days I really should try this. It's not hard to hold the chair up but I don't know if I could get the right lean angle to make a corner.
>>15316166
over 65 is illegal. its not designed for this, so i see no problem
>>15316149
1000- 2000. Anything less you're looking at seriously dicked up fixer-uppers or like, Aunt Carol's 1986 Honda Rebel.
Good bikes can be had for around 1500 if you don't mind fixing minor problems or it looking like a shitbike.
>>15316153
pretty much any bike can do that. They're not riding any huge bumps or anything where you would need a foot of ground clearance and suspension travel. It's just the "supermoto attitude."
I have a webm of someone on a GSXR doing jumps, riding up and down stairs, popping curbs and all of that same kind of shit people say you need a supermoto for. Unfortunately my internet is too slow to upload a full webm and I don't want to plug in my phone for its internet.
