Why? Looks like a fun bike.

>>691103141
cant corner for shit..only at lower speeds are turns possible...but on the straight..holy shit is it fast
>>
>>691103297
i ride a gl 1200 big ass bike, i corner like a mad man on it. you just arent god enough at it yet. when taking a corner look where youre going to end up, dont look into the turn. also the bike will do 90% of the balance work. if i liked bikes like that one id probably be dead from going 80+ on sharp turns

Yeah looks like a drag bike.

I sold mine, pic related. Wish I hadn't but I moved and had nowhere to garage it, couldn't just leave that kind of bait on the street.

Didnt you do any research before buying this? Do you even have a license? Rip this is a nice bike but you'll probably wreck it.

Did you not test ride it?

It is a little harder but bigger bikes can still do the corners, it is just a bit different

Wtf is that intake? Remove it, unless you are an amerifag who's seaking straight runs.

Try to change your tires maybe.

i admit to being a huge faggot about buying the bike..i went to the guys house had a listen to it and a short ride around the block..i acted on impulse..and because ive always ridden a cbr 600 i figured i could deal with this no problem..besides it only cost me 7.000 euros..virtually free..right?

>>691104441
honestly, if you take off the intake and find a smaller one, youll have a shit ton of fun. if its an easy to take off and on intake keep it in a bag and put it on when you feel like straight riding on the interstate or highways. bikes are much more flexable than cars when it comes to on the spot modding.

I have a f4i and id like a fast cruiser someday as well, but id have to look around a lot. The riding posture on cruisers typically really irritates the thoracic region in my back to the point where it ruins riding. My f4i never irritates my back.

Then why tf would there be an air intake at the bottom near the exhaust, if it was fake then that intake would be attached to nothing.

heard good things about the Grom but my only concern is that it's a bit small (im 6ft) anyone have any suggestions for similar but bigger bikes for a beginner ?

Cbr500r is the best starter sport bike.

Same here dude i have a 600 now as well but it's aids to sell that cbr500 especially since i financed it like a dumbass

That,s debatable... i had one for a lone bike and hated it... "sport bike" fucking kek

Have to get a 250 for my learners. Looking at a Honda XR250R or a Kawasaki Ninja, are they any good or is there something better to look for? I'd be driving in the hills a fair bit.

They arent even that expensive, for 2000 euros you can get a very decent one, for 3000 probably a k model (superbike homologation).
RGV250s are a loooot more expensive where i live, although i'd love to ride one. The only two strokes around here (and that i have ridden) are 50cc glorified scooters.

I've only ever owned 1 big bike after riding a 100cc for years when I was a kid then passing my test on a 600cc 4 years ago.

I bought one of these (FZ6N) because I fell in love with it on sight.

I don't have any other experience with bikes, but I love my Fazer and won't be selling it anytime soon.
>>
>>691108117
Its a ZXR750, not a 400. Look at the headlights.
And maintenance isnt bad at all. I bought it for 850 in fall, and fixed most of it myself. It was around 1200 in total after i was done with it.
Although right now I have put in something like 1600 euros, but that is including stuff like steel braided brake lines which arent necessary.
The ZXR engines in general are pretty rock solid and not a lot that can go wrong. I dont think maintenance is very expensive.

I am planning to make a better video in the not too distant future.

>>691108271
Yeah they are pretty expensive in Australia, especially one which is still original and not a total wreck!

RGV250's are usually going for around 4-5 grand. Pretty collectible around here
