That's kind of impressive.
Poorfag looking to motorcycle here
What can I get for ~$2k as far as beginner bikes?
I really like the way adventure and dual-sport bikes look but it seems like most go for at least $5k.
>>14025962
'88-'07 Ninja 250, GS500's etc, probably old dualsports as well.
Look at your local Craigslist/Gumtree equivalent and find out.
>>14025949
Can I just use my chucks?
what do you think of mah bike

Keep an eye out for 2007 and older KLR 650
During off season I've seen them at 2200 or less. I'm riding one for my first bike and it's been great, just a little tall and Heavy so you should be 5'11" or taller and have some lower body/core strength
Also keep an eye out for sv650, gs500 and if you want a cruiser shadow 750 or other Japanese 750 or higher but keep it under 1000 if possible
>>14026013
>I'm riding one for my first bike and it's been great, just a little tall and Heavy so you should be 5'11" or taller and have some lower body/core strength
I'm 5' 6" and 155 lbs. My 1RM on bench is only 215.
>>14025989
nice mom
>>14026028
13 year olds ride dirt bikes... you just lean you arse over the side of the seat so your foot can touch the ground if you are a short shit.
>>14026028
Fwiw I'm 5'9" Manlet status but I have it on lowering links and a low seat, I can flat foot it pretty decently on most roads but it's not 100% comfortable on uneven roads or yawed inclines.
That being said I backpacked a lot and have a lot of core and leg muscle so I can hold her up pretty easy when she gets wonky
>>14026028
You also don't need pectoral muscles to keep a bike up. If you can squat 220 you can pick up almost any bike
>>14026013
I got a 2007 klr a few weeks ago for $3200. Not a great price, but it was in great condition and from a dealership. I'm pretty new to riding, but the klr has been an excellent shitbike so far.
>tfw unemployed
>tfw can't afford motorcycle
>>14026054
I'm 5'10, installed 2" lowering links against all advice. Planning on shaving the seat a bit (can't flat foot it yet), but so far it's very easy to manage with the links.

Become a drug dealer. drug dealers have all sorts of expensive things.
>>14026139
it takes money to make money though
>>14026171
Im not going to go into the specifics here but you can have over $15,000 within two weeks starting with $250 dealing drugs lol. There is a damned good reason why people sell drugs despite the risks of doing it lol.
>>14026181
I know, but what if you don't have 250 start up money?
>my buddy cleared 10k dealing coke in a month part time.
>someone removes their helmet and you notice they're wearing this

I assume thats what people do in those situations.

>>14026200
I thought about doing it but I just decided I didn't want to be the guy who sold drugs.
Can we just fast forward to 2017 pls?
>>14025989
I saw some nasty ass interview at a game show with him and he was wearing a dainese jacket the whole time. Clearly he does it to look cool since there's no way it would be comfortable to wear a sport bike jacket sitting there for all that time
>>14026202
as an owner of a CX500, I don't know what to think.
>>14026195
But i live in Victoria, like all of Australias motorcycle gangs moved down here so you can't even have a giggle at em.
>>14026139
I was thinking that growing weed might be nice. I live on a farm so I have plenty of sheds and stuff to set up a little operation. Wouldn't know who to offload my product to though. Could sell small amounts to friends but if I'm going to take the risk then I might as well make some proper cash.

It's 16 years old, so it seems to be affordable. Do any of you that ride 15+ year old bikes have liability insurance? If so, how much do you pay monthly?
>>14026215
Just how I bought it still a project
>paid $600
>had it for 3 days
>>14026223
Planning on it, may ferry some of the way back [Haines to Prince Rupert] but of course there is lots and lots and fucking way too much time to figure it out. I'm going to try and take 30 days so I should have plenty of time for there and back if I want.
GC is the shit. Try and do north rim, it will be much less crowded.
>>14026235
Make sure you explain to her that she has to lean with the bike. Keep more distance between yourself and cars in front because your braking time is longer. Make sure she's properly dressed.
>>14026251
That is a steal man. you could buy the bike and sell it for $3500 then buy a better bike.

older 250-350cc dual sports tend to go for that in alright condition. I got my XL250s for 1200 bucks and all it needed was the carb gone through. Thing runs like a top now after fiddling with it and having a mechanic check it out. Good bikes to look for are DR350's, XL250's, XL500's, TW200's, and if you're lucky you might find an older model XR650L or DR650 or KLR650 for that price.
Dual sports are great bikes so they tend to hold their value. You're gonna have to do some digging on a tight budget and probably wrench on whatever you find a bit to get it in satisfactory condition.
>>14026259
I'm sure it will feel different in turns and such, right? But as long as she's leaning with it everything should be pretty fine?

The better one is when people call motorcycle clubs gangs lol
I used to own a 50cc Yamaha LB3 'till it got stolen, now looking at getting a bike license on top of the regular driving license I have. Since we have three different bike driving licenses in Germany and my only experience has been with a 50cc, should I aim lower (think used 125cc Varadero) or go straight for a V-Strom or Versys 650? I'm looking at something fun that doesn't try to kill me but lets me enjoy views, roads and life instead.

But i cant, they are scraping when my foot is in pic related position, doesnt happen until after my pegs scrape and tilt back, that is how i know i am at the limit because just a few more CM to the ground and the engine case scrapes.
>>14026406
if you know how to use a clutch and arent a tard a vstrom or versys would be a good jump that will keep you riding for a long while

Tell her that she needs to imagine she is your backpack. No space between her and you, and where you lean she needs to lean as well and not resist or counter lean at any point. Make sure she remains holding on at red lights. Sometimes girls forget. Light turns green and you give gas and they almost fall.

Any advice for getting over my crippling fear of riding?
I did my msf course summer of 2012, bought a bike, rode it a few times around the block, low sided at a very low speed making a right hand turn from a stop, ride the bike home and haven't ridden it since. I literally dread even looking at the bike, gives me such a feeling of failure. I should also mention I live downtown Philly and the amount of traffic freaks me the fuck out. Oh, and also no friends to show me the ropes
>>14026645

>>14026677
at least it's green so it's not much of a change from yellow.
>>14026677
I wouldnt, your ninja is worth more.
>>14026648
The only thing you can do is get on the bike and get over your fear. You already fucked up by not getting back on the bike after you crashed it, stop feeling like a failure, everyone makes mistakes.

Fucking shite. Done fuck all today, wanked about four times, badly need to shower and have a shave. It's 5am though so I'll probably just sleep soon. Sleeping pattern is ass backwards because of night shifts. I'm looking over amazon and buying random shit. Buying one of those stupid reindeer kits for my bike, waterproof overtrousers to keep my legs dry and a little warmer when commuting, another bike cover for my project bike, bullet proof casio watch to stick on my handle bars and a balaclava. Probably find a few other things I don't need before I'm ready to hit the check out. Don't really have the money to be buying random shit but I'm quite bored.

>>14026573
>tfw I can almost go this fast in 1st.
I got my 250 to 220 once. That was scary.
>>14026591
To be fair, the pegs are a lot higher on litre sports bikes. You pretty much have to deliberately hang right off the bike to even think about scraping on public roads.
>>14026648
Keep riding. Grab something you can drop without any real fear. This >>14026656 or something like a CT110.
I'm learning to ride again (and get over my anxiety) after a car hit me in August. Had a brain hemorrhage and fried my memory and motor skills. You'll get there man, just keep at it.

Ehh that was 4th and 5th gear on a 700 meter long straight, the bike would go off the clock in 6th down a highway so i honestly have no idea how fast it goes, probably around 220, which is why i doubt your 250 did 220.

No need to get antsy about it. A CB400SF weighs what, 200kg wet and makes something like 53hp?
It was a rebuilt MC22 weighing around 155kg wet and making 46hp. I only weighed 58kg at the time and we had an FZ6N sitting in front of it to cut the wind resistance right down.

Alaska 2017
>>14027132
sweet, he was going 2500 but I think he's getting desperate now since the bike's been listed like 30 fucking times this month and nobody's bitten
I saw one ad he had a number price of 2k. but then it was taken down after a lil and uploaded with different info about vintage knives and no indians
>>14027101
>>14027140
shit nigga, whats the general plan for that?
>>14027141
Well I hope he is.
Maybe he doesn't care about the money and just wants his vintage knives
>>14027151
>Maybe he doesn't care about the money and just wants his vintage knives
I hope that's the case. But seeing that he's had a bunch of other bikes for sale and has a "4stroke wanted" ad I'm not sure sure.
Maybe he just wants knives and indian artefacts. Who knows.
I'll call him monday and see if he's game to drive it up here, if not, I'll pay someone to drive me an hour away after finals.
>>14027074
I just can't see a 250 reaching 220, heck my ktm 450 only does 180kmh with a 14 front and 42 rear sprocket and that has 52bhp and only weighs 110kg.
You must have worked that engine bloody hard if it did do 220 lol, or changed the gear ratio in the gear box because if im not mistaken a 15 tooth front sprocket won't fit on the 250 or does it?
>>14027150
The very very rough plan
>>14026210
Probably July, hoping for 30 days off work to get it done. Considering flying the wife in to anchorage and spending a few days doing stuff around there.
>>14027158
Well I hope he sells it to you.
What are you going to do with it whenever you go home for holidays?
>>14027168
Don't underestimate the value of slip streaming. It struggled to push 200 by itself.
Most of the top end had been done and it got up to around 19,000rpm on the straight away. I was using a 17 front and 52 rear. New ones had gone on the morning we did it. The old ones were fucked.
We had a two stroke 250 go faster than that later on. Forget what it got up to, but it was ridiculous, 240 or 250. That thing used to blow it's top every 2000km or so though.
>>14027178
fug...
pretty sure i wont get a month off in summer for that, i might be able to tag along for part of it though.
>someday
>>14027184
That's a very good point. I'd probably pay like $40 to stash it in a storage unit for a month or see if I can pay a biker dude I know to keep it at his.
I'd still need to get it rego'd to be able to park it in the motorcycle parking outside the halls here.
>>14027248
The 2 smoker does not surprise me at all, they made those things go hard lol, and sounds about right they were generally used as race bikes.
>>14027307
That one was a race bike, hence why it blows up all the time.
Don't underestimate MC22s though. The golden years are 91-93, after that they got neutered. The problem is most of the ones around have been thrashed and are about to die.
Good examples go hard though. I'll get some footage when that one is back together (won't be for awhile). Need a new front end for it, might need a frame too, haven't gotten that far.
Won't be a big deal either way. I should be able to get a donor bike for $200-300 without much issue and the only thing I want to keep it the engine and battery.
>>14027269
Well I hope you find a decent way to store it.
I don't know what you do over summer but it seems kind of pricey to keep it in storage that long unless you bring it home
What do you guys think of Suzuki Bandits? Specifically the 1200s? Is this one worth the price?

I just want a supermoto/dual sport. I have been no bike for too long and depression and grill troubles are making me insane.
>>14027489
get drz now and have her wait for you after exams
it'll be worth it

Seller already has a buyer, earliest I can see it is Wednesday.
>>14027492
Yep.
>>14027488
I'm out drinking downtown. In considering going swimming in the lake.
I still have no idea where to eat.
What are you doing this weekend?
>>14027521
Drink more before going swimming.
>>14027543
I will. I'm good at swimming so I shouldn't drown
>>14027320
Kinda sounds like i have been underestimating the mc22, i thought they were 30bhp stock to be honest not 45, that is actually fairly impressive. i have also learned you can turbo charge the engines without touching any of the internals and they will still be reliable lol.
>>14027555
Make sure its hard alcohol and not water you faggot.
>>14026251
$75 for six months liability, 1998 Bandit 1200. Been riding for three years, using Progressive.
>>14027567
Reliable for the first 5k km and then they are fucked.
>>14027575
Wait I'm retarded that's $75 for a year, sorry.
>>14027579
well of course you would minimise the rebuild schedule doing that but fuck a 90bhp 250 would be cool.
>>14027488
>anything good or is it just like mashed up food eaten through a straw?
I prep it all myself so it varies between great but small meals and mashed calories. Depends on how much energy I have and how much I care.
>>14027493
Weird isn't it? I'm about four months in now. They're not sure if I'll ever get it back.
>>14027567
91-93 are 45-46hp, 94 onwards are 40hp. If you do a full rebuild and put the time into tuning you can get them to 50hp if you're patient. Mine was 46-47hp--which is great if you consider it was a twenty two year old engine.
The gear driven cams sound wicked too.
The internals are bullet proof but basically this >>14027579 it won't handle the pressure for long.
>>14027586
You probably wouldn't get that much. You wouldn't be able to run much pressure without doing a ton of work to the fueling. I've never seen a working EFI MC22, seen a few half finished examples though.
The moment you wanted to cool the turbo you'd have to plumb it to be blow-through and it'd get heavy and complicated really fast.
May as well go two-stroke if you want 90hp. A KR-1S could make that if you were patient and had deep pockets.
This one wasn't mine, but it's making similar sort of power.

>>14027574
It is hard alcohol bitch
>>14027606
Apparently 10-12 PSI is the limit without touching the internals, just something cool and different to do in my opinion, i have been considering doing it to my cb400 for shits and gigs instead of buying a bigger bike, would cost about $3000 to do.
>>14027508
rip
>>14027514
Ayyy I had a hunch.
Graffiti 7 oh three here. How ya doin'?
>>14027543
lol
>>14027660
It'd be more trouble than it's worth on an MC22, you ride momentum on those to make up for speed. I'd look into ways to cut weight instead. My old FZR600 had chunks of the subframe missing to cut weight haha.
So I'm an idiot, and also I forgot to check if today there even are lectures at the uni.
Oh well. At least I have an SJcam to buy.
KTM 500, KTM 450, CRF450, or WR250x? My old sumo needs to be updated
>>14027710
>SJcam
bardzo chinkshit
>>14027718
crf, gib me old sumo pls
>>14027725
My old sumo is a 09 KTM 530. It's all modified for stunting though.
>>14027725
Pls gib monies
>>14027735
What state are you in and are you selling?
>>14027738
I need monies for a proper drool sport kolega

and with that, lads, I'm going to bed. night
>>14027718
man im so tempted to build a husqvarna 501 SM
i talked to a guy at the bar once that had a KTM 500EXC. he said it was one of the best dirtbikes he has ever had.
>>14027745
Oh and I'm open to selling or trading it.
>>14027684
Oh i plan on doing that too if i turbo the bike.
Despite the fact that i would get called a hipster faggot by you poofs for doing it i would turn the bike into a cafe racer, it would shed a good 30ish kg off the bike, 40 if i changed the fuel tank.
>>14027768
I hope you die.
>>14027769
I use my sumos for stunting. Look at that ktm 500, bretty sexi. I just don't know if 500s are good for stunting or if I should get a 450 or 250. or stay with 500.
>>14027776
Sure , just be extra sure to suck that nigger cock, young lady.
>>14027789
Be different and make a KTM 300exc into a sumo, thats what i am trying to do atm, just need $800 spare and i can trade my 450 for it and then another couple hundred spare and yay willies.
4 stroke race bikes are too high maintenance to be using on the road, at least a top end re build in a 2 stroke is just a piston and rings.
>>14027804
would you really want to do stunts on a bike that doesn't engine brake?
>>14027776
I'd change bike honestly. Turbo bikes aren't fun to ride usually. Way too peaky.
>>14027817
Would you really want to do willies if you cant stop a bike that doesnt have engine brakes lol?
Everyone should learn to willie on a 2 smoke.
>>14027783
What do you guys have besides potatoes?

That wasn't me faggot.

>>14027853
[citation needed]
>>14027837
i i remember trying to wheelie my dads KDX200 but it was crazy hard to control. but thats more because the clutch took the strength of a gorilla to use.
Guys, when i look trough the windows there is outside...
I am the only one who sees that?
>>14027859
Build one and you can do 120kg 80hp+ setups and it's all in a 2000-3000rpm powerband.
It's a huge amount of fun.
>>14027863
You just replace letting the throttle off with using the rear brake, by all rights you should be using the rear brake on a 4 stroke as well, that is how you go past the balance point and keep a willie going for longer than just the rev range, it is also how you change gears without flipping the bike while doing a willie.
>>14027876
Why are all stunt sumos 4ts? Same with motorcycles.

since you are here and you are the only person i know with a 2 stroke KTM
whats your opinion on this?

Your idea of stunting is a 12 o clock wheelie

He wants way too much for it, you can buy one of those bikes in Australia for $4000 so i imagine $2500-$3000 would be a good price in America and that would be for a 2014 model not a 2013, that bike has been fucking flogged, notice how he did not specify how many hours the bike has on it?
2 years of racing tells me it is at 75 hours and he is selling it to buy a 2015 bike instead of rebuilding the 2013 bike.
Pic related is a 2014 250sx on gumtree listed at the same price when you convernt dollarydoos to meribucks.
In any case never buy an ex race bike they have all been flogged to hell and back.

>>14027914
To be fair i never said they are better for willies, i said everyone should learn on them. 4 strokes are arguably better at everything than 2 smokes which is why for a while there they replaced 2 strokes in MX racing.

Get an older bike. Idk if this one is near you but it would be a good buy.

its a reasonable drive.
i have tried to find a RM250 but man its hard.
>>14027972
do you already know which bike you're going to buy?
>>14027981
there is also this one
http://www.motorado.com/inventory/2009-ktm-xcw-250
its down the block from me.
Morning chaps.
I've got to ride in a fair bit of rain today, anybody know any good ways to give a visor a sort of hydrophobic coating? Misting isn't a problem as I've got pinlock but something to get the rain to bead off would be lovely.
>>14027990
You don't want an RM250 they are shit bikes, you have to spend a lot of money on them before they are nice bikes to ride (Which is why they are the cheapest stock bike from the factory) A KTM for an example comes stock with all the best suspension/brakes/exhausts etc so you can race them out of the crate so to speak.
What about a 2001 CR250?
This one is in great condition and the buyer seems honest, half an hour away from you $1875.
>http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/5264975099.html
>>14027971
The problem with two stroke for MX is you can only use half the capacity of a four, negating their benefits.
>>14028003
buyer lol... seller seems honest* (he posted pics of literally every part of the bike) plus he is close to you, if something goes wrong you can take the bike back and make him fix it by law (atleast you can do that here)
>>14028007
Nah they changed that rule, 150cc 2 strokes race 250cc 4 strokes now. pic related is the 2015 ktm150SX which is currently being rated as one of the best MX bikes you can buy for that range due to its light weight.
