fuck forgot previous thread >>14226113
Alright niggers, what's that oldy flat twin BMW, R65 or some shit? How much can i expect to pay for one in good condition and can i "offroad" with it?
Having money sucks more than not having it
I want to buy tools and another shitbike but I'm too cheap
I have maybe 4-5k but don't even want to spend 70-$100 on an angle grinder
>>14228772
>R65
that, and R90, and R60 and a whole other bunch of them.
>how much should I expect to pay
anywhere from 3k to 7k depends on which model and the condition
>can I "offroad" with it
you can, just remember they are a heavy set of bitches.
>>14228773
spend $35 on a home depot one since you wont use it enough to justify a higher end one
or buy my YZ so i can get a DR or replace the van
>>14228773
>About to buy another car
>Like, not a shit car but a pretty new car with less than 20k on it
Fuck the expense.
>>14228773
really? why haven't you gotten yourself all of the harbor freight special?
>>14228786
>I listed the CX today
rip squidanon
>>14228784
I've considered it highly, just need to cut some metal and shit
>buy yz
While I'd love too
I already spoke with cc81pt about buying his 300 in a year or so
And now there's a dr350 for sale for $900
Near me
And ideally I want to save for land
Maybe a $20 angle grinder is the answer
What would you want for the yz
>>14228786
Have fun with that, I've also looked at getting a new (sub 1k$) vehicle to beat on
>>14228793
I very well may, I have some other shit I have to buy first
>>14228809
I feel that.
>>14228809
probably more than you'd want to pay. i have it posted for 3100 right now.
DR350 is a great all around bike, especially if you rebuilt it to a 440
busta bitches limp-wristed faggots get out of my way
>>14228813
Well I want to pick up blacksmithing so I can make some shit
So I need to build a forge and buy some bastard files for shaping, then the angle grinder
>130 acres in northern Maine for $40k
Imagine all the offroading
>>14228834
Yeah everything I'm looking at is <1100 desu
Sorry pal
>>14228837
good luck m8
>>14228837
I'll just go faster than you.
>>14228842
>blacksmithing
do you think you can sandcast some shit? I need new tie downs cast for my truck.
>>14228773
>>14228773
As a man who makes pretty ok munnies, I know this feel.
It's fkn weird
>>14228859
since when did you have a truck
>>14228773
that thing costs way too much
>>14228859
I have 0 experience as of now
Though il look into sandcasting how its done and what it requires
Though probably for the first 6 months anything il make will be complete ass
I'm.fine with it though
Did you know anvils cost like $350+
Fuck that shit il use a 45 lb plate and just stop lifting
>>14228865
since a while ago m9 :) just not with me in oregon yet
>>14228874
It cost me around $1800 in total plus $200 for helmet gloves and goggles
I think k I did alright
Tempted to list it on craigslist and see if I get any offers
>>14228876
go poke around local steel yards for heavy iron scrap.
>>14228876
haha I have years to go before I really mind.
>>14228882
>leaves in the grill
>>14228891
Supposedly a plate cast in cement works well
>>14228913
I mean it sits, for 8 months at a time, but yeah I need to attend to that.

>mfw i will never have glorious 3-pot watercooled 2-stroke.
Anyone here have a waterbuffalo
>>14228954
I know someone who used to back when they were relitivley knew
SO I FUCKED UP /dbt/ my dumbass didn't use a torque wrench and tightened the drain plug too tight on my 05 Ninja 250 and now there's a hairline crack. It leaks.
I've seen suggestions on forums to weld it, and there's a few welders nearby that would probably do it for cheap, but would this work? Since the drain hole is slightly wider due to the crack wouldn't welding it still make the drain plug not seal? Worst case I guess I could just have it all sealed completely and just drain the oil through the filter from now on but I'd rather not.
wat do guys? This is my first bike ;_;
>>14229031
jb weld over the crack
go round the block a few times
did it hold?
good, keep riding and check oil levels after each ride for a little while
>>14229031
Buy a new fucking drain plug and stop using the hand of god to change your oil noob.
>>14229031
cracked the plug or the pan? call up a local bike shop, or anyone that does tig welding. or what is the case made of?
When buying a dirtbike converted street legal what paperwork do I have to look for to make sure everything is legit and actually street legal
>>14229059
Or just buy a dual sport and save the headache.
>>14229031
>Cracked sump
JB weld for temporary fix then buy a new sump
>>14229080
Or buy a converted bike for 1/4th the price
>>14228689
is this a wat sticker yet
>>14229059
That depends mostly on the state
>>14229095
In most states not commiefornia
Title of course
>>14229088
And then spend the remaining 3/4 trying to pass inspection
>>14229113
Post bike fuckface
>>14229113
If the bike is already supposedly licensed as street legal what inspection is there to do?
>>14229121
Why?
>>14229133
Is it alleged to be converted street legal or what?
Does your state do emissions for boikes?
>>14229156
kek fatasses.
>>14229083
Fawkk, isn't that a shit ton of work? I don't think I have the time to replace the sump.
>>14229052
The pan, and I think it's made of aluminum.
>>14229044
I don't think it would, the bolt wouldn't tighten.
>>14229158
According to the DMV website, they do not
>>14229193
Probably like 15 bolts to remove it.
>>14229193
JB weld is easy as fuck. I used some for an oil leak on the CX, it has held for the last 5000 miles and 5 months.
aluminum is a CUNT to weld for a newbie though.
>>14229196
>According to the DMV website, they do not
noice, run the fucker rich like a Chinese mogul.
>forget to decelerate coming off of the freeway on my ZX9R
>do 55 mph past cop sitting at the end of the offramp
>sirens go on
>sirens go off
it is on that day that i learned there is literally no reason to stop of the cops on a sport bike
>>14229156
reddut the webm
>>14229212
But what paperwork should I look for to assure its street legal
And is ", I just bought this bike and was told it was street legal" a valid defense?
>emissions
My truck is so fucking overdue after it failed
Like I should get on that they've probably pulled the reg
>>14229217
Yeah I got "pulled over" once after i parked at a gas station. 5-0 followed me 6 miles down the road waiting for me to stop.
>>14229223
>But what paperwork should I look for to assure its street legal
There is no paperwork. That's why you prolly shouldn't bother.
You need to go find out your state inspection checklist and take it to that bike and check everything that's there.
>tfw my bike is out of order for the next week cause rims are being painted.
>>14228954
>>14229234
>mfw the cold just killed my battery and i have a bad intake valve.
>>14229233
It doesn't get assigned anything?
There's nothing that says it passed testing to become street legal?
>>14229248
You can ask the owner if he ever got any inspection paperwork but spoileralert hardly anyone gets their bike inspected. You can avoid that too and claim it's a dualsport.
Here's what you need at face value:
mirrors
running daytime headlight and turn signals.
Tailight that also illuminates license place
odometer
speedometer
Front and rear brakes.
That should cover you if a cop looks at you.
I've never gotten my bike inspected and no cop has asked to see the inspection sticker. YMMV
>>14229031
>05 Ninja 250
>tightened the drain plug too tight on my 05 Ninja 250 and now there's a hairline crack.
Shit these new bikes are shit, i have never used a Torque wrench for a drain plug, specialy on older bikes. It's probably because its a shit bike made in thailand or china.
>>14229274
Don't you need your bike to be street legal to get a license plate though?
Off-road plates here are different then onnroad
>>14229246
are you me?
>>14229217
ok and if they get your plates?
>>14229284
>Don't you need your bike to be street legal to get a license plate though?
In my state, to get a plate what i do is take the bike there with a title and bill of sale and they come out to look at the VIN number (you need one) and the odometer and then hand me a plate and tell me to get it inspected.
>>14229288
Y...Y..yeses...
>>14229292
They need to prove in court that it was you riding it.
Also
>not tossing mud on half your plate to cover up some numbers and make it look realistic
>>14229294
Alrighty thanks anon
I've been avoiding street legalising anything myself because mybstate requires paperwork from the original owner (very hard to find often)
But if I can get a bike that pssses mkst criteria I can always say " just bought it was told it was street legal"
>>14229209
But aren't there like seals or certain ways the bottom half of the crankcase must be taken apart or put back together? And ways the internals have to be handled? Like there's no way it can be just bolt off then on right?
I'm used to working on cars, BMWs specifically, and I'm just kind of worried cause compared to BMWs I'm actually surprised about how little tutorials there are for my bike.
>>14229193
Yeah but how would JB weld press together the spreading of the threads? I'm worried about the diameter staying too wide that the bolt doesn't even tighten, cause that's what it's doing now.
Also I definitely wouldn't be welding it. I'd have some shop or whatever nearby do it.
>>14229309
80's motorcycles best motorcycles.
Was any of the Dr 350 ever street legal from factory?
Sold as a dual sport?
>>14229329
yasss
>>14229391
yasss
>>14229425
Just did some reading
Originally there was dr 350 and Dr 350 s
S was street legal
Then they made an r version for like one year
Then se became street legal
Long story short I may buy a Dr 350
Maybe will big bkre it aswell
>>14229425
Man those fucking centerstands are the bane of my fucking life.
If you touch that rear tire at all they will drop.
>>14228773
What bike is that
I want it god damn it
>>14229451
mine is pretty fucking solid.
>>14229474
That's my motoped
Il sell it to you for the right price
It only weighs like 130 lbs but then again only goes 45 mph with my fat ass on it
Semi auto clutch
It's a really fun little toy
>>14229474
motoped.
>>14229474
>>14229485
Forgot my other half decent picture of it
>>14229485
do they make them with a regular clutch/transmission? I would love one with a 125cc engine like from a pitbike or something.
>>14229485
>>14229495
Neat.
Is it gas powered?
Can it ride legally in the bike lane? I know some motopeds can but I think there's a speed limit for it.
I just want a shitty bicycle with a motor to trash around trails.
>>14229504
Believe the speed limit was 30 mph or like 7 horsepower or some shit for sidewalks.
>>14229500
You can throw any motor on with typical pitbime mounting
Though make sure the carb will fit
IF you have a clutch, that means you're going to have to work both the front brake an clutch with your left hand
Unless you buy a peg kit (that's like a billion dollars) then it will be just like an dirtbike
>>14229504
Yeah I fill it up once every 2 ish weeks with about a gallon of gas
Guestimated 80+ mpg
As for the bike lane, its in the grey zone, in the USA if it had a smaller motor /you could, mines a 125 though I'm trying to find a 49cc stamp to put on it so I can get away with more
Il sell you it
This thing is stupid fun on trails
I can explain more about the grey zone for street riding etc (to my knowledge) if you want
>>14229514
Not like the cops will know eitherway.
Looks pretty cool but
>3k
For that price I could get a shitty Honda to thrash.
Looks pretty fucking cool though lad, would be cool to replace my bicycle.
>>14229504
My knowledge for street legality etc is limited, I know mostly on my state but most states are similar
Motor has to be 49cc or smaller
30ph top speed
One gear
Seat over a certain height
Pedals
Not like anyone would know or care about displacement
>>14229528
I got mine for under 2k since I was on the original al kickstarter and when I sell it il sell it for less, unlike everyone else selling them for $2800-5k
I would probably be happy to get 15-1800
For it since I have beat on it
>>14229547
somehow this one in california got plated
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/mcy/5398742066.html
>>14229605
I've seen half a dozen legally plated
It's not that hard but alot of DMV work, while I loved getting it and putting everything together and all that great shit
I do really need a real bike, to get to and fro. Work
Il probably list it on craigslist as a super light dirtbike
Or try to find someone who wants it in the next year, though it is beat on a bit
Alright /dbt/ I got $1500 and need a bike, wat get?
>>14229617
Buy my motoped
Or go on your local craigslist and look around
>>14229615
it sounds like a ton of fun t b h t h o f a m. 45mph is pretty fun and with those shocks it's basically a dirt bike. wish i had one.
it'd be cool try to make one from scratch with and big bore an engine to like 170cc.
>>14229617
dirtbike
couldn't figure out what was wrong with a pic I took yesterday, finally occurred to me it was just way too saturated.
Now it looks all drab and dark like it's surroundings, perfect.
>>14229617
honda CX500, but really it depends on what kind of bike you want?
>>14229617

>>14229626
I mean I can take mine apart and mail it to you with a few extra parts if you don't mind a few scuffs on the pedals
>>14229622
Motoped? Like a scooter?
>>14229626
What kinda dirtbike?
>>14229630
I just want one that goes and will last me a long time without lots of trouble. Good gas mileage is a plus I guess.
>>14229633
https://lexington.craigslist.org/search/mca
>>14229640
Think dirtbike with pedals and no clutch lever
Or a souped up off-road moped >>14229526
>>14229634
no cash bro.
>>14229640
>What kinda dirtbike?
dualsports like a drz400, xr400 / xr500 / xr600 or look up how to plate an ohv one.
>>14229662

Ok.
So whats a good starter bike for someone 6 feet tall and skinny as a rail? I can't decide if cruiser or sporty is what I want, probably depends on what feels more comfortable.
>>14229795
as a fellow hungry skeletor who comes from a family of hungry skeletors that all ride bikes, get something with a comfy seat, my brothers bike for an example is one of those new yamaha meme supreme bikes and the seat is uncomfortable as all hell, after about an hour of sitting on it you feel like someone hit you in the tail bone with a cricket bat.
>>14229795
i'm a lanklet. 6'4'' 160. i ride an fz6 and the PO raised the bars an 3/4 inch or so. very comfy, and you can tuck in a bit and corner fine.

OK, I'm back :3

>its fun to ride up here in the hollywood hills
To the anons in the last thread wondering about NYC roads:
Stick to The Bronx and Central Park (when the roads are actually open). They tend to be smoother. Westchester is a safe bet too.
Stay away from the the East Side of Manhattan (potholes, tar snakes, and road ripples for days, any of the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge connecting roads, the Cross Bronx Expressway (especially near the GWB), and the Bruckner Boulevard (Yeah sure, the sound acoustics are cool, but the road is NOT taken care of).
The more congested boroughs are a real pain to enjoy unless you can ride them in that sweet spot where the slip caused by the fresh pavement is gone and the repairs for new ripples haven't formed.
I personally like:
>Henry Hudson Parkway
>Saw Mill Parkway (Be careful! It eventually does get covered in tar snakes past Tarrytown)
>Sprain Brook Parkway (Absolutely based for high speed runs with moderate difficulty)
>Sheridan Expressway North to Connecticut
>I-95 and I-87 for the most part
>Central Park
>West Side Highway
>Bruckner Expressway
>Pelham Parkway/Bronx River Parkway
>Taconic State Parkway (If you keep your eyes peeled for cops)
>Merritt Parkway

Not quite m80. Its a KH100 EL my dad bought for dirt cheap when i was a kid to ride around the algonquin trails. Its beat to all, seats held down with straps and i had to replace the lever on the fuel switch with a screw since it snapped off in a crash, but the damn thing still runs like a kenyan once you let it warm up a little.
Maybe i'll post pictures later. I warn you though, it is the shittest shit bike you ever will see. Hardly recognizable as a KH100, since i took most of the extraneous bits off and fiddle with the suspension for offroading

the issue is the package has gone missing, so it just says it's "in transit" for about a week to go a few km, trust me I've already called them up, to do a lost package thingo the seller needs to do it.
if it was something I could sort myself I would have done it already

Canadanons, have any of you imported a motorcycle before? From Japan? Is the process any different from cars? What exporter or importer did you go through?
>>14230309
Fireblade? Motopede?
>>14230357
Yep. Went off road for a moment in Queens in the summer. Popped the clutch to get over a curb but the ground was wet+sumo tires and I smacked into the curb at a 50 degree angle doing like 25 mph. Bike went down sideways and smashed in the rad and dragged my left knee along the curb. I was pretty far ahead of a 100+ bike ride and everyone seen me fall and I was embarrassed. But it's cool because someone died later that night so everyone forgot that I fell :^)

Tank-off service coming up. Not sure of the warranty is worth the servicing costs to be honest

Preload the suspension before popping the clutch, go slower, make sure your clutch plates aren't shaved smooth

>>14230434
I think you'll need to do stand ups if you want to get that thing up for a long amount of time, they're geared tall stock for track purposes.
Put your left foot on the pillion pegs and keep your right foot on the brake, roll the throttle on and pop the clutch.
This will scare the dick off you the first time you try it standing up, I nearly started hyperventilating the first few I rode out but once you're used to it you'll love them way more than sitdowns.

there is no way you'll ever pop an i4 250 in 2nd, it does not compute, especially if you're starting out, and the best way to train willy control is first gear anyway, he won't have power to chase them so he's gonna need to get his pop perfect.

People will think you have a 186cm tall and hairy gf.
I actually was with a 187cm tall and hairy woman once. If she was any indication, I'll probably be clingy as fuck and torment you to no end with my stupid insecurities.
Pic related, her bike.
Daytona 675 or one of the Big 4 600cc?
They don't make as much of a difference in price as I thought. Decent Big 4s are around 4500-5000€, decent Daytonas around 4800 - 5500€
How is the reliability?
Maintenance cost?
>>14230493
Daytona
>stupid reliable

Do it mayne. I almost got me one of these as my first bike.
>>14230493
>reliability
worse than the japanese but very good, usually related to electronics/wiring and not engine mechanicals though.
>>14230493
I can't speak for the Daytona. I can speak for jap bikes.
90s CBRs have reputation for being absolute tanks and living on forever, surviving years of abuse and asking for more.
You're likely to find a great deal more of used parts (some intercompatible from other models) and have all sorts of aftermarket options (from Chinese crap to expensive stuff).
Since jap bikes also have a larger market share, if you ever need help of a mechanic, he's likely to know more about the bike you have. He's also more likely to have your part lying on a shelf somewhere.
If maintenance alone is a factor, a jap bike is a no brainer.
t. a guy who just got two perfectly straight rotors for 100€ from my local guy.
>>14230493
>How is the reliability?
>Maintenance cost?
In terms of the 675 Trumpys from the last 8 years, I'd say on par with the big 4 Jappers on both counts.
If out of any of the middle weight supersports, I'd buy the 675 based on power delivery alone, although keep in mind the riding position on the Daytona is quite aggressive in a similar vein to the R6 Yammy, where as the Honda and Suzuki are more forgiving for spending longer commuting hours.
Although, my mentality is, if you're looking at supersports, you're looking for an aggressive sports bike anyway...

>>14230535
Because Ducati are shit and can't keep up with anyone else without at least 200cc of displacement over the competition.

>>14230530
I would buy one if I had the cash to just have one as a track bike and to occasionally rub my dick on it.
I wouldn't own one as a road going every day bike, I still think japanese is the way to go if you plan on riding it every day.
>>14230535
I actually think that's good, the 1000cc V-twin class has not had entrants for a while
>>14230497
Good to hear. I fell in love with that i3 and looks.
I'll inform myself some more. If everything works out I can get it either end of the season or next year.
>>14230503
Yeah I heard that before. I won't touch electronics so that adds to maintenance cost, I'll look up how much that would be.
>>14230510
Ayy
I ride a '94 Katana currently and it's a tank indeed and very easy to work on. I'm looking for something newer though and I have no experience with bikes with lots of electronical things. I'm not so worried about engine reliability, more the electronics. I'd take a jap 600cc without hesitation but the Daytona is something different I'd like to try.
>>14230514
I'll testride it before, only supersports related thing I rode so far is a GSXR600. I don't mind an aggressive riding position
>>14230543
My issue is that it's heavier than it's bigger brother
>>14230541
what competition? do they race in the 600 class?
>>14230543
I daily mine on the road and don't really have a problem with it. The riding position doesn't become a pain in the ass until you're sitting in really slow traffic, but even then prior cooling issues means I can lanesplit and play it off as trying to keep my expensive italian bike from costing me $400
I'll probably upgrade my cooling in the spring though when I go to repaint it.
>>14230548
>If everything works out I can get it either end of the season or next year.
Fucking hng. That thing should be able to keep up with the CBR1000R. Post pictures.

Daily reminder that even Rossi couldn't make Ducati good.
>>14230554
I've just never heard of an MV over 100k so I don't really know how they fare if you ride a lot, any japanese bike you know right off the bat it's gonna do 100,000 km's + and laugh it off
>>14230557
chaz davies is going alright but considering he's the only duke up there I'm gonna guess it's because of chaz more than the bike.

But Stoner could?

Shit, even Casey Stoner had trouble with Ducati.
Plus [spoiler]I'm not a fan of the way they sound[/spoiler]
>>14230560
>I've never heard of an MV going over 100k
The main issue with them is the way the exhaust is set up. The headers sit right next to the plastic radiator fan, which has the blades melt every now and again. Also, the radiator lacks any supports on the right side, which causes it to crack in the top left corner. They fixed this on the new models, but on the older ones you needed a bracket to help support them both. That and some muzzy aluminum radiator fans are the most common upgrades.
Supposedly the engines are bulletproof, and desu mine feels practically brand new at 11000 miles. I'll definitely try to take it up to 100k though and brag on /dbt/ about it if it makes it. Maintenance is just sort of expensive and it needs to be taken care of just like any bike to hit 100,000 miles. Even jap bikes will shit the bed if you aren't taking care of them.
>>14230569
>but Stoner could?
Even Stoner complained about the Ducatis being pigfat pieces of shit on the track. Stoner is just the Aussie god of motoGP racing.
>>14230577
>Even Stoner complained about the Ducatis being pigfat pieces of shit on the track.
I thought the complaint was on the lack of "feel" and the confidence it didn't inspire.
>pigfat pieces of shit
Is pigfat the buzzword used when someone doesn't know what they're talking about?
