How's Honda for reliability?
I'm thinking of getting a CB400. Love the idea of having a four cylinder for my first bike.
>>14890680
that actually looks pretty nice
>>14890670
fuck you buddy duel sport are cool
I need to get my front sprocket nut off, but without putting a chain on it first. What do?
Should I jam a block of wood in there to try to keep it from turning?

>>14890727
very. but what year are you looking at because anything older than 20 years is going to have old bike problems.
Over the next month or two I'm planning on getting my learner's permit (CA) and start shopping for a used dualsport, likely a KLR-650 or similar, plan is I'll ride around town for a month or two to get the basics down and then take a safety course the CHP runs to avoid the DMV test.
What are the general things I should look out for in regards to buying a used bike so that I don't get ripped off?
>>14890737
>KTM in pieces
Nothing to see here.

>>14890753
>not wanting a classic
but you'd be fine. those new cb400s are pretty pricey though but people seem to like them.
The honda CBR is the best bike in the world folks. I get calls all the time, the smartest people, they call me up and say how great the CBR is. Everyone says it, it wins every competition and every review site says so. These people these reviewers, they knew everything about bikes, and they're calling me to tell me they agree
>>14890738
that dude's beard is trimmed so fucking awkwardly
>>14890770
oh.
>>14890753
The biggest flaws in the newer bikes is that they consume a lot of oil and the fairings are now brittle ABS plastic that has no business on a dual-sport.
The older bikes have indestructible tupperware fairings that don't care when you drop the bike.
>>14890739
Ninja 250s are very fun bikes and you can feel like a pro within a day of getting it, it just don't go that fast.
And when mine was idling it reminded me of somebody blowing a raspberry with their mouth

Guys, i got a question. I was given an 85 Rebel by a friend and I love riding the thing.
Simply put, bobber. What's a few good sites to buy stuff for mods?
>>14890793

>>14890778
>And when mine was idling it reminded me of somebody blowing a raspberry with their mouth
Funny.
How fast do they go exactly? I know starter bikes aren't going to get all too fast, but still curious.
>>14890745
>like's too short
I don't know about that, plenty can happen within 70-80 years.
I don't think I've seen bike stalls anywhere around here. Or maybe I just haven't noticed them. I was thinking I just had to park them in the normal parking spot, just all the way in the back where no one parks.

>>14890788
what's the source on this? What does he actually say? got a vid?
>>14890810
I'd sooner ride a moped.
>>14890737
That's gonna be very difficult pham.
Try putting that chain you have on the floor on the sprocket, then securing the other end on something very solid and perhaps backing the bike against it.
Or you can somehow try to close that chain on the frame/handlebar and put it on sprocket.
Point being, without securing the sprocket in place (you can perhaps jam a wrench between the sprocket in the frame, but you're likely to break the wrench or dent something badly) I'm not sure how to go about it. I had a very hard time removing my front sprocket nut, even with a chain, rear brake and tons of leverage.
>>14890805
there's mesh gear. But it still gets hot.
A t-shirt and shorts work pretty well for me.
>>14890812
Can confirm. Although I remember being in the 70 MPH zone here in WA and my 360 felt like it was about to explode.
>>14890801

>>14890812
what was your cruising speed and rpm?
>>14890818
I want to just put it in gear and use an impact wrench on it. Will that ruin my transmission?
>>14890813
No I just took the post about CBRs and put the text on a photo of Trump because it sounded stupid enough that it'd be something he'd say.
>>14890822
I see people do this, but I don't want to risk it.
Then again if you crash on a bike you're as good as dead it seems.

I want to do something similar to this.
Not this color scheme though, and a bigger rear fender.
>>14890845
Oh. Well the 250 is a great bike to get confidence with, you'll feel like you can lean and corner and play with the throttle as much as you want and you'll feel that way quickly. I remember deciding I'd want a bigger ninja at some point after only a few weeks, though. But I'm an impulsive acceleration junkie.
>>14890832
I really wish you'd get killed by a bitch on a cell phone.
>>14890860
like i just had a valve adjustment a couple weeks ago
is it possible that it fucked itself already
>>14890871
Don't talk about bike mods here /dbt/ hates them and anything that's not a sport bike, especially if it's a modded non-sport bike.
I like that bobber idea though I'm "building" a scrambler atm just bought my gas tank should be here tuesday and then the work begins.
>>14890863
I'm glad he did it because I was trying to imitate Trump when I made that post about the greatest bike in the world
>>14890871
Please don't do that. For the love of all vintage Hondas out there keep it stock. If you find one that's been chopped and messed with, fine. But don't ruin a stock bike.
>>14890833
Honest answer: I don't know. I read it's something you should not do as it puts a lot of stress on the transmission, plus there's no certainty of it working.
Can you not put the bike together and then work on the sprockets?
Actually if you take that chain and wrap it on the sprocket, put the bike in neutral, and spin the sprocket counterclockwise until the chain touches the engine (on the left in pic) it will immobilize the sprocket. You can then put something between the chain and engine (tons of innertube or a rag) and try to use an impact wrench on it. Perhaps it won't stress the transmission as much as the bike won't be in gear.
At this point I'm just trying to give you ideas though. You can try to use the footpeg as somewhere to tie the chain too.
>>14890834
> Stupid
> Trump
Git.
>>14890885
Likely the valves had to be adjusted looser, which would make them louder. Most of the time when your valves wear out they recede into the head and get tighter (quieter).
>>14890893
He's talking about bobbing a rebel, not a 350
It doesn't really ruin the bike to change out the tank and fender, there's really no cutting to do it's just cosmetic and reversible
don't be gay
>>14890788
I read this in his voice, that is how accurate this feels.
when i think of kit kat my dick gets hard and wants to start cumming and keep cumming til it cant cum anymore. i think of the way kit kat's lean ass cheeks look with a dick between them and even after ive cummed i get hard all over again. then i get to starting to think what kit kat's face looks full of cum and i bust out the pictures and then i go to town. i go through this cycle every night after work for about 4 hours until i pass out covered in sweat, semen, and my own feces. i wake up the next day, go to work, and come home and repeat the process.
>>14890902
alright that's good news then because it's louder, but after looking up videos of the bike idling it makes sense. my mechanic is a master vintage builder anyway so i'll assume he didn't fuck up
>>14890878
I don't think I would have that kind of money to keep going back and forth on bikes. I have the money for a 250cc bike if I can find a good one at least.
>>14890903
Oh if it's a rebel do whatever then.
Sorry, I just don't like people ruining nice stock CB's and going "hurr durr" it's a cafe racer now.
Same thing with 240sx's In a decade it will be impossible to find a nice stock one.
>>14890893
DW senpai mine's already ruined
you'd be amazed how much better it handles over a stock one though
>>14890896
I think that would risk breaking the magnesium engine case.
I'm still waiting on the bearings for the rear brake, so I can't use that. Also I put the swingarm back on without the chain so that has to come off again anyway. I want to replace the counter shaft seal and counter shaft sprocket, and I think I'll need to leave the swingarm off for that seal so the chain guard doesn't get in the way.
I think I'm going to try jamming a block of wood between the teeth and the frame and taking an impact wrench to it tomorrow.
>>14890924
The big pillow seat ruins the look entirely anyways
>>14890924
not that anon, but I personally think that looks pretty fucking sick. As far as chopping up a vintage bike goes, you did fairly well at not bubba-ing it
Also I'm just a sucker for OD green and brown colors on bikes. Would do it to my DR if I had the extra cash
>>14890931

>>14890893

Yeah I wouldn't molest a based 60s-70s CB.
Its just an 85 Rebel. That and I wouldn't really be chopping anything up.
But seriously, any sites people recommend?
>>14890941
Lmao, it looks like a giant tootsie roll.
The rest of the bike looks fine; digging the front end.
If it had a rear fender with minimalist tail light and the seat was a little flatter it would look nice, I agree on the front fender too but I wouldn't say that bike is "ruined" at all.
You could also tuck all those cables in a fake tool pouch or something.
>>14890947
man cmon it's called using the lines you have
and fenders are expensive
>>14890958

DESU cruisers are the ultimate troll. Straight pipes and just revving their engines all the time.
I can't see any purpose for cruisers other than trolling, rattling windows, waking people up, attention whoring.
They're not fast, some of them arn't even practical, they don't have a particularly long range, they don't normally have good wind resistance. They're not practical with carrying capacity.
Cruisers are for trolling first and foremost nowadays.

Motorcycles are safer lane splitting than in stop and go gridlock.
Everyone is just an idiot, because they think it's a "get to go first because motorcycle" so they are against it.
When really, it's safer because motorcycles are way out in front and out of the way of traffic, and less cars in gridlock, so it's better for everyone.

>>14891174
it's not really wise to filter/lanesplit through moving traffic or traffic with big gaps. If someone wants to change lanes they have enough space to poke their nose out.

You're projecting behavior onto a motorcycle

>>14891178

>>14891185

It's really not wise to stop in the middle of the highway. If someone wants to go forward they could rear end you.
>>14891191
This makes me want a dual sport
>>14891143
i would feel bad about it if it actually impacted anyone. but bikes don't actually "steal" anyone's spot because they just zip through everyone. really, the only way we are actually effectively lengthening the amount of time you spend in traffic in a car is if you don't get over for us. only then are we taking up a "spot," but that's your fucking fault anyway. but i'm going to get by you eventually regardless of how hard you make it for me, intentionally or otherwise. it's legal in california and most people are actually pretty cool about it. most cars move out of your way if they notice you, which is nice. i have had a couple shitty incidents where people deliberately move into your way to try to make it impossible to split, but these are few and far between.
>>14891215
You're getting nowhere. They still are used for cruising around. Why do you keep trying to personify a motorcycle? The primary purpose of a cruiser is to be used to cruise around. Hence the name "cruiser."

You might not be able to sympathize. But I'm an LEO, I'm just sitting there minding my own business trying to investigate a traffic crash, while direct traffic and some (I assume Doctor/lawyer) 1% rides by on his straight piped harley, revving it while starring at my soul.

ever play fighting games? it's like buffering your input. it's much easier to react to something quickly if it's at the top of your mental stack and you just need to pop it off. really just be aware of the possibility. i generally weave all the way into a lane if there's a gap then zip back over once it starts clamming up again, even if it's only for a carlength or two.

When the universe ends, the last two things working will be entropy and Hondas.
>>14891249
Depends on the bike.
>>14891237
The answer to the price thing is that the RR retailed as more expensive. There's differences in the suspension, brakes, and riding position, so the RR is more geared for the track while the F4i is more comfortable and good on the street.
Naturally, there's more demand for the RR because people want the fastest bike even if they're going to be going 35mph in traffic. So that brings up the RR price a bit.
>>14891249
>fairing
No fairing makes it look like an SV650, which is shit by comparison.
>>14891246
that's not really a typical example of most Honda bikes.
>>14890834
i literally thought the first guy had taken a Trump quote and replaced whatever he was talking about with CBR. i thought it was a new pasta
>>14891223
do. it.
>>14891250
the one time someone actually successfully pulled off one of those maneuvers on me she totalled my bike and i sued her and got medical bills paid for + $40k. bitch also went to jail. california is a shitty state in a lot of regards, but they love their eco-friendly bullshit, motorcycles included. yes, i was lane splitting.
>>14891257
Not in a heat death universe. Entropy ceases to exist. Your argument is flawed.
>>14891249
lol why are you comparing an R1 to a FZ6?
>>14891273
Wasn't intended to be a direct comparison, just 2 images I pulled from google. I just mean in general.
>>14890897
i even agree with a lot of his politics but he speaks at like a 2nd grade level.
>>14891268
Kek.
I thought the rider automatically took fault if they got into an accident while lane splitting tho?
>>14891279
that's what it takes to appeal to most americans I guess?
>>14891282
If that were the case then everybody would be opening doors on motorcyclists.
>>14891282
sometimes both or all parties can be at fault.
>>14891279
he doesn't even provide solutions to anything. He just brings up a bunch of issues to make people think he's concerned and proceed to indulge in the publicity.

>>14891290
except most people won't even notice until you're already past them, and most of the others are too sane/scared to actually attempt to cause a crash.
>>14891266
I just don't like how they look man
>>14891295
Can you give an example?
You guys say the new cbr600 ain't all that, well I don't care, it's the very first bike I truly fell in love with and if it weren't for seeing this bike, I wouldn't be here right now.
So fuck yall I'm gonna get it.
Someday.
>>14891282
i was splitting in front of a cop in stop and go traffic on the freeway, so you bet your ass i was being reasonable. traffic was going about 15 and she swerved over and knocked me into a pickup. broke my wrist and clavicle. cop arrested her on the spot. one of the greatest joys of my life.
Gonna go get my bike license at the end of the year, my dad owns 10+ disassembled brand new never ridden BSAs that have been sitting around in his shed for 20+ years. Whats the bet I can convince him to give me one?
>>14891309
I'm picking up pic related tomorrow
Do you want to ride it
Found a katana 750 selling for $1500 with 50k miles
sketchy?
>>14891282
no, california is the only state where that's not the case as it's legal here
>>14891314
Suck yuh dick for it no homo
>>14891315
Katanas are like curses, you can't get rid of them. He probably woke up with it in his bed and he wants it gone.
>>14891315
Lotta miles.....I picked up my 600 with 7k miles for $3k
>>14891320
Are you central massachusetts

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>14891329
No shit for reals? Nah but I grew up in Westport MA, neat coincidence.
>>14891333
>>14891325
On the bright side if you get a Katana you'll never be a nobike again.
>>14891335
Oh sweet

>>14891318
ok. I am misinformed. I heard the case was that you could do it and not get in trouble, but you will automatically get blamed if someone runs into you
>>14891314
>14 hp down on zx-6r
nah
>>14891143
never seen anyone else do it in the KC area. it might be illegal here but traffic never gets LA or NY tier bad here. I'd do it on the highway in gridlock or if I had literally ever seen another biker do it in my entire life, which i haven't
>>14891332
That one got deleted but I found another
http://pennstate.craigslist.org/mcy/5502140337.html
...This must be a bot
>>14891354
Not to mention.
>CHINA IS LAUGHING AT US!!!
>Chinese economy is currently a California forest in August after record lows for rainfall with a smouldering campfire in it
>>14891366
Yes, any time you see a nice bike for sale for 1500 or upper/lowercase lettering, it's a bot
>>14891354
He's said how he'd do that dozens of times at this point man
>>14891363
But if you look closely there are the letters CBR on the bike
>>14891219
>>14891191
want a dual sport so bad right now
>>14891344
Poorfag like me really want a bike...
>>14891399
So you're getting a Katana then?
>if I get this, I could be doucheanon
Hmmmm
http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/5540505554.html
>>14891410
Not sure yet, havent seen the bike in person, even worst, im still short $500
>>14891383
can you give an example?
>>14891418
you said you wanted a liter tho
>>14891425
Talk him down and cover the difference with a blowjob or something.
>>14891425
If the seller is nice, they might hold the bike if you front some cash. Be wary on doing this though. I got lucky doing it for mine, and I'll be getting a perfectly running ZX-11 in like, 2 weeks cause of it.
>>14891433
I mean yeah but super cheap shitbikes are awesome as well
>>14891428
Eliminating regulations on businesses and cut taxes for businesses to promote companies growing and staying in the USA. Working to stop companies from leaving the USA by threatening taxes. Renegotiating trade deals and stopping other countries from devaluing their currency so our companies can compete. He also said he would do Obama care but for CBRs so everybody will have one
>>14891418
you don't want to be me, kit kat

>CBRs for everyone
The real CBR or the little thumpers?
Can you join a motorcycle club if you ride a sport bike or are they all HD/Indian/Triumph only?
>>14891473
I think a lot of them require American-made motorcycles, so you might be able to get away with a Buell.
>>14891472
He said the regulations make it too tough for small businesses, he didn't say it for the big boys.
>>14891479
I have never seen a Buell in real life
>>14891479
But Japan has been under US occupation for 70 years.
It's pretty much our territory at this point.
guys what bike is this
>>14891493
That's Kit Kat and his CX500
>>14891493
CB350FAG
>>14891358
I drove down to conneticut to get mine. No regrets ever since.
We need more vintagefags in here.
>>14891473
only wannabe outlaws (or actual outlaws) only allow HDs in. Even my local Indian Riders club allows all bikes in, as do most other clubs
>>14891503
Shit ive been discovered.

What's your guys opinions on cafe racers? I'm not a dad boner going through a midlife crisis so I can't get a cruiser, and I don't like sport bikes.
>lane splitting
>tfw finally got 2 strokes street legal
fucking titles were invalid at first, thanks washington and ktm. Spent 5 hours today at the licensing place and driving around getting all the papers redone.
>>14891540
Trite, played out. When it was the way you made a bike fast; it was cool. Now it's just a style and it's fucking dumb.
>>14891540
glad the fad is dying, but scramblers are still alive and well
>>14891540
I mean cafe racers are cool imo. There's a lot of squids and hipsters who ride them though. I like the aesthetic although sometimes it gets too hipster and seems excessively stylish for no reasons.
Similar but slightly different modern classics might fit the bill if you're looking something not too "cafe racery"
DBT I'm hesitant to wheelie my bike, wat do?
I used to wheelie like a sick cunt on my dirtbikes, but there's something about the unforgiving street and a heavy bike that makes it harder to stomach. Plus if you get caught by a cop here it's a $1,000 fine.
>>14891558
You wouldn't ever want a Thruxton?
Theyre beautiful bikes.
>>14891575
Forgot the picture
>>14891575
No, not my kind of bike. Too slow, plus triumph meme quality. A stock thruxton is not a "cafe racer" anyway.
What's this called?
How do I do it?
Can I do it on a sv650?
>>14891540
shitty mods that do nothing but harm.
>don't like cruisers or sport bikes
You realize there are a million other options?
>>14891566
It's the walking deads fault, Darryl was cooler with his SS chopper
>>14891540
Do what makes you happy at the end of the day. I liked vintage hondas so I bought one and am happy with it. Dont let other cucks style choices influence yours.
>>14891588
It's a rolling burnout...
>>14891574
>Plus if you get caught by a cop here it's a $1,000 fine.
So don't get caught. *lowers aviators*
>>14891552
>fucking titles were invalid at first
did they have the VIN wrong or what?
>>14891591
wut
Darryl's SS chopper had nothing to do with cafe racers or scramblers
>>14891540
i have one
i am ashamed
