Just had to sell my truck to pay off a attorney, never liked it anyways. But with my search of a new vehicle I found only motorcycles appeal to me (of the crotch rocket verity), even though I've never ridden one before. Like its been a craving every single day to be able to own one.
In short, I've come to decide on a CBR600RR as my first bike. Good decision, tips, advice?
Check the daily bike thread and ask your question there mate

Get the CBR61000RR so you dont get bored in a week.

From a logistical standpoint, how do we move on from the straight six engine? Is it possible for engineers to improve on such a perfect platform?
8 cylinders in a 90 degree V angle
already did
The v6 obviously
That's why the gtr has one instead of an oversized boat anchor l6, or the new Ford gt which replaces a shitty v8 with God tier v6
theoretically, how illegal is VIN swapping if you own both vehicles.
same year, same trim package, 100% the same other than the color or the car and the vin.
Theoretically how illegal?
Still a felony.

If you don't get caught, not at all :^)
>>15229711
they'll likely crush both cars if you get caught selling them
Are GTO's good?
I feel like they aren't. But feel like it would be the good bad, if you know what I mean.
if you want a sports car that you wont daily, then yes, they are good.
>>15225358
Only if you have lots of money. The twin turbo ones are Skyline GT-R tier, and cost about as much to maintain. Plus the gremlins that come with a 90s grand tourer stuffed with more electrical junk than a Tesla.
The N/A FWD models are gutless but look alright. Significantly less hassle than the MR.
tl;dr 700 horsepower money pit
Shitload of japanese electronics. Epic when is works, epic fail when it doesn't
Where do I practice gitting gud, so I don't end up like pic related or the people in one of the various videos of crashes:

As a German motoring enthusiast I'm pretty much obligated to do a lap around the Nordschleife at least once in my life. Hell, even my grandmother has been around it on a motorcycle a couple of times in her younger years.
Now, the Nordschleife isn't really known to be a beginner-friendly track, so where do I start? The only track around here isn't open to the public usually, no track days scheduled for the future. Our backroads and supermarket parking lots are either too narrow or deliberately set up in a way that makes it impossible to test the limits of a car in safe manner.
I really don't know where I could possibly practice regaining control of a car after unexpectedly losing it. I'm not talking about deliberate hektik skidz.
Driver safety trainings appear to be quite expensive for a couple of hours behind the wheel.
No better place to learn the Nordschleife but on the Nordschleife.
> so I don't end up like pic related
just don't buy a GM car and you're golden
>>15233754
I'd rather learn the car first before learning the Nordschleife.
Let's get a dash cam thread going.
What's your setup, and your favourite cams.
Mobius, hardwired into my E46 and hidden behind the rear view mirror. Seems to work well.
>>15228477
Only way to do it. Any other way looks shit.
>>15228477
how long was the usb cable you ran all the way to the cigarette lighter?
>Did it come with that mount?
I'm thinking of getting a dashcam for my z3, but i want it to be as stealthy as possible.
Is the LS the best budget engine ever?
>10 grand build can get you over 600hp
>v8, sounds nice
>Pretty fucking easy to put together yourself and easy to wire
>Large turbo
>piping
>intercooler
>a few sensors and whatnot
>larger injectors and fuel pump
>ecu
>larger radiator perhaps
Literally like +$3-4k if you can weld
>>15226409
i like the 2jz mate but where the fuck are you getting a 2jz-gte block and all the parts for under 10k?
they're only getting rarer and rarer
>>15226409
>heavy as balls
MARTIN ARE YOU ENJOYING OUR NEW FORD™ TRANSIT™ THAT FORD™ GAVE US?
LET'S TAKE OUR NEW FORD™ TRANSIT™ DOWN TO SUPERCHEAP AUTO™ AND GET SOME CAR PARTS MARTIN
>>15230806
Yeah sponsorships and shit who cares
Literally everyone does it
>>15230853
But are they as gay as that asshole from MCM? No.
>>15230806
Its amazing how they went from two guys doing fun shit with cars in their garage to two guys doing fun shit with cars in their garage and getting paid to do it.
I'm actually sort of envious of them.
>speeding ticket
>>15222648
This is why I'm glad I have a slow car
>>15222714
>acceleration ticket
>>15222648
Police always lie about what speed they clocked you at so that it's impossible to fight in court.
Does anyone know if your record is truly clean after you take a traffic school class, or do they still see that you paid a ticket? Obviously insurance won't know if you do the traffic school.

>Old cars are better
When will this meme die?
New cars are safer, faster, and more refined

Good bait.

> that pic
Nnnnnnnouuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :'(((((
I'd love to agree but I don't like how much shit breaks, how hard and expensive it is to fix and how driver aids sometimes can't be turned off.
You just can't hoon a car that costs too much to lose.
Another chicag/o/ meet?
make it after July so I can guaranteed come.
Why do I get this feeling if I go I'll be the only one there without a miata
>>15210707
there's daddy's nova who's in the chicagoland area. that's not a miata.
yo, where you guys at???
let's do a meet at Rutgers maybe?
Do one at Rider since I actually know where the fuck it is, or at least somehwere in central NJ
But I'm a bus rider
>>15223733
Rutger's is literally in central NJ. Middlesex bro. Rider is too far south for most people who live in Bergen, Essex, Morris, which I bet are more populated than Atlantic and Burlington Counties.
Rider is a possibility though, if there is a lot of South jersey interest

>>15222827
Nice spot.
Still can't believe the NSX turned out that bad
>>15222827
Sick BRZ with a body kit !
Where do you get that? It'd look mint on my 86.
>>15222834
I see them all the time here desu.
First time I've seen one parked where I could take a pic though.
What's so bad about it?
In all fairness you can't compare it to other hybrid super cars like people here do.
So, how do you hold the steering wheel?
A.
Not sure if that's the "correct" or "only true way" to do it, but when I was learning to drive if I held it any other way my dad would act like I was about to crash into a wall.
>>15222241
I've always had my hands offset at 10 and 4. Is that weird?
I pinch the steering wheel between my thumb and pointer finger at 5 o'clock.

Seriously who the fuck does this? How can someone's head be so far up their ass that they'll put not only their own, but someone else's life on the line just to prove a stupid point. Grow the fuck up or become a cop if it matters so much
>>15219149
lol.
i thought subaru could turn?
should just plow into the honda.
>riding that far up somebody's ass on the highway
They pretty much deserved it.
>has webcam
>clear view of Honda doing illegal activities
>still crashes himself
