at this point somebody will respond by saying "yes but it has a dual clutch transmission" which will be responded by somebody else saying that that "doesn't mean it's a scooter" and an entire argument about what makes a scooter will break out (again) leading to a lot of posting of VFR1200s.

What's the best bike for someone looking to start riding?
I live in the city, don't commute to work, don't have any riding experience, and I'm going to be raped by my insurance company.

My thoughts are leaning towards the CBR300RA, mostly because it's cheap and better on insurance I've heard, but is the lower power noticeable? KTM is too expensive here, and the Yamaha has no used market, though I could bump my budget.

I knew someone would grumble about wording. I've never ridden a bike, and I can't test drive one because nobody lets you take them out without at least your M2 (Ontariofag, hence insurance concerns). I'm looking for input from people who may have owned these bikes to give some insight. Does "Which do you prefer?" sit better with you?

>>15017261
Downtown job with $300 dollar a month parking. Yes, even with a bike. Bike is for evenings and weekends, because it beats the shit out of golfing. And the fake Superbikes are because I have a learner's license in Ontario as a young male, meaning I'll be gaped by insurance for anything larger than a 500 class.

The Contour and Drift have a more aerodynamic shape. Contour is the most user friendly. Drift has bettter features (replaceable battery, has remote, lens can be turned, etc.). I think both have a waterproof case you can buy, but should be water resistant (not proof) on their own. Gopro is the smallest and better suited for a chin mount than the others. Also the Gopro software is arguably better.

Theres more to it, but these are the basics.
>>
>>15017350

tacking on to this anons post.

From the videos I've seen, it appears that drift cameras have a bit of artefacting compared to gopros.

Could just be the videos I saw (a lot were from the same person) but yeah

Thought about it, but my roommate isn't into the idea and I've got an ATV if I feel like going on trails.

ATVs do what they do. I like the technical stuff, throwing them into a puddle isn't my idea of fun. I prefer the slower rock-climbing type stuff. I have a 92 Kawasaki Bayou 300, and it's small and light and simple enough to go anywhere bulletproofly. And more relaxing than a dirt bike when you want it to be.

Here they're only road legal for short distances from trail to trail.

They're plated and insured, but only really as road legal as a farm tractor. I'm glad, lots of poors would probably use these instead of cars, and they're just not fast or safe enough to work on public roads.

I'm not a farmer, so don't quote me, but I believe they're restricted to non-400 series roads (400 series are our larger highways) and only to transfer equipment to another field or farm, not for commuting. So yes, they're allowed on the road, but only as necessary. Same with ATVs. The plates and insurance are actually for trails which require them, but I don't think you're allowed on the road at all without them. Farm equipment.. Idk if they need plates ever. I don't into corn.

I'd try cleaning the carbs. If you're a lazy cunt like me and don't feel like pulling them, I suggest this:

>pop off top cover and pull diaphragm out so you can see main jet from top of carb
>Fill float bowls 1/2 carb cleaner
>Put carbs back together
>Prime fuel system again
>Run bike until you're on full gasoline
It'll run like shit for a tiny bit but once that stuff runs through it'll be clean.

So I find myself in this situation /dbt/, I have hard time gauging corner entrance speed on the road so I usually begin cornering a little on the safe side and proceed accelerating throughout all of it.

Is it ok to just slowly open throttle and gradually push the bike inside as I gain speed or am I doing it wrong?

To clarify, can I just keep pushing the inside handlebars with no worries even if I'm already leaned over or should one just enter faster, flick the bike down and keep that angle?

I don't see anything wrong with slow in fast out.

We're not on the track here, nobody is timing you, I tend to start too slow then accelerate up to comfort as well.

In terms of like, the ultimate fastest way to ride it actually involves being on the brakes almost until the apex, we're not gonna do that on the road though.

people can argue until they're blue in the face whether my bike counts as a sportbike or not but I've ridden 600's, 750's and 1000's too.

It's worth it for the times you do get to cut loose for me.

>speed gets boring

Wheelies and corners don't though.

>somewhat comfortable

clip ons and the sportbike riding position have their own advantages, 1000's are good commuters in my opinion, they're nice and narrow for lane splitting (often have fold in mirrors too) because of the clip ons and you can ride the big juicy waves of torque from those turbine smooth I4's, my commute is not long enough I could ever get sore from it either, at least not at my age.

Good news is we have so many supernakeds and inbetweener bikes like the GSX-S1000F / NInja 1000 that it's not much of a compromise to make anymore if you want to be comfy but still go fast.

I'll still take the full beans model though thanks.

a few things in general:
the timelapse is too fast
especially since you move your head left and right quite often, try lowering the speed overall, or smooth out the parts where you move your head
when you include audio, clean the audio a bit, since the quality is pretty meh, and fade out the music slightly.

I'd like to make more videos but basically everything I do on motorcycles is illegal, the police here like to fuck you for it.

I did have one idea for something I consider missing from the motorcycle online entertainment paradigm but the logistics of it don't pan out.

Maybe. The guy who checked it ticked all the boxes saying it was okay to take back.
He'll get reprimanded, not me.

If they ask if I know anything about it, I say no, I never noticed it.


...unless they threaten to take it to court, then I'll see what I can do to help.

I suck balls at haggling desu. I really do want a ninjette or some other starter bike. Currently have 1700 but I'm saving up to 2500.

I see, i do kind of want to hold onto it for a while and sell in about a year or 2. Worth it for 2 years if I keep it well maintained?

Damn that's going to hurt. Now I wish I got one of those special snowflake bikes with the kickstarter on the left side.
