Hello /dbt/
guy with the fat chick here I didn't want to take on a ride but needed a good excuse so her skinny qt friend wouldn't get mad for me being rude to whale.
Now fat chick suspected I just don't want to ride with her so she had the glorious idea we'd rent a 3-seat trike. And skinny qt was all for it.
It will look super retarded, young 20-something with 2 young chicks on a trike for fat old people and I don't want to waste money for that really. fuck this shit honestly
Should I just tell fat chick I have no interest in being friends with her? This will probably lead to skinny qt hating me since she is her best friend but I don't know if it's worth for that one chick to babysit enormous all the time
>>15078518
Just tell the cute friend, frankly, that the fatass is too fat and that you don't want to offend the fatty by saying it to her face.
>>15078489
Anton get your a2
what are the guddest movies on Netflix?
>>15078518
tell them that you're not comfortable riding with a larger person and that trikes are for dykes and old farts
>>15078545
23 Days Under The Sun was bretty gud. It wasn't amazing but cool to watch if you're just hanging out
>>15078555
My bad. its Under The *Sky*
Rode motorcycle today, popped out of second gear twice. Fucking old Kawasakis.
>>15078531
I already had the talk with her like went something like this
>why do we need to take x with us all the time
> - because she doesn't really have friends yadayada
> - besides that you're the first guy that is nice to her and I really like that about you
>but I wanna spend more time with only you
> - dun worry bby time will come blablabla
>>15078550
can't do that mane, she's the most insecure person I know. If I mention anything about her size I'm fucked and skinny will thank me sincerely that she has to build her up again.
>>15078575
get a boat
bitches love boats
>>15078575
sounds like no pillion for jew, or have you ridden with the qt before?
Best litrebike for my fifteen year old nephew?
>>15078596
WR1250
>>15078596
You mean like MotoGP liter or sport-tourings count too?
>>15078609
He wants the fastest one but he's never ridden a motorcycle so no busas
>>15078588
I've ridden with qt, then fatty wanted a ride too. I then told her (this was /dbt/s excuse idea) I had trouble with qt and I want to practice more first. To avoid telling her she is too fat.
>>15078608
>four stroke dirt bike
He's not a little kid any more
>>15078621
the correct response would have been to enthusiastically invite her on board and wheelie her the fuck off then pretend after like you are only pretending that it was intentional
So now that I've ridden a few miles (on both local and highway streets) with my ninja 250 it's okay to move up to like a H2 right?
>>15078619
I'd recommend a Ducati V-twin like SP2, SP4. Or inspired bikes like VTR1000F (NOT R). Those are sport-touring bikes that's not terribly hard to handle and they're easy to do a wheelie on (he'll be able to impress his friends and girls).
This is actually a non-meme answer, people in my country like to start with liters and they're usually recommended V-twins like TL1000 because those are easier to use than inline 4s.
If you want a "real" sportbike just buy him a decent cheap injector like Honda 929.
>>15078518
Show her how dangerous trikes are or get out of this cringy relationship
>>15078659
If you're not enjoying your ninja, you won't enjoy anything else.
>>15078675
How fast are these bikes? He will want the fastest as his friends ride, too.
>>15078621
sounds like the options left are to say trikes are too expensive and play the noob, unless you're looking for some high tier subterfuge
>>15078659
Buy a GPX600R, they look identical to your Ninja 250 but it's a water cooled dohc 600cc inline four
>>15078683
>>15078596
Your nephew is gonna die
>>15078695
Well he isn't not gonna die
>>15078695
My other nephew has a Harley with like 200 more ccs and doesn't have the good brakes of the litrebike and he has been fine
>>15078701
Correction
litre bike will kill him within a few weeks
>>15078693
>GPX600R
That thing is a sex machine, my buddy had one and it felt like a Ninja 250 while sitting on it but had that i4 scream.
>>15077447
get one from Germany
Is 9k RPM a good cruising speed
>>15078710
kinda low for a grom desu
>>15078708
I have one, 13k miles but super obviously been dropped. We don't really get Ninja 250s in my country so the styling is quite in-your-face. Love it. Fairing is loose everywhere though.
>>15078710
Is your bike a wankel?
>>15078683
They're all around 260-270 kph max.
>>15078715
I'll have you know it's a Ninja 250
>>15078706
His brother will teach him to ride
>>15078720
How's the acceleration? He hasn't been riding long but he will want to keep up with his friends. Though if they all cruise at below 260kph he will be able to catch up
>>15078703
A litrebike is faster than a 1200 twin
>>15078677
But things between qt and me are going great.
Problem is the fatty and because qt is too good of a person to just say fuck it we need some more alone time.
>>15078691
Yeah I'll probably say I can't afford it right now which I will get called out on again because of other things but fuck it
>>15078716
I really like how you sit into the seat instead of on it. Real low seat height and light clutch pull. A little cramped if I'm honest though.
>>15078722
that seems about right then
>>15078710
That's above the rev limiter, so no.
>>15078727
But the brakes are better? It's what he wants. He will be fine. Please stop worrying
>>15078710
>he doesn't cruise at 16k rpm
>DRZ eats oil
should i be worried?
>>15078737
I hope you have your black suit ready
>>15078729
I'm a manlet and honestly you're missing out on some serious lay-across-the-tank ergos.
>>15078747

Nothing to worry
If it drinks oil like it's fuel it's a bit more worryingly.

>>15078769
Have fun not having family that care about you and buy you things. Can you even afford a litrebike
>>15078773
I'm 183 and I can ride a GS without problem, the seat even has to be on the highest position.
>>15078773
My motorcycle was made in 1996 and I'm sure it's an 80s design bro. I'm not ruining your modern bikes
>>15078726
>He hasn't been riding long but he will want to keep up with his friends.
But you said he's never ridden a motorcycle. Acceleration is explosive, but dynamics at max speed\high RPM isn't that great. Actually there was a similar discussion in an older thread and we came to the conclusion that HUEG V-twin were excessive. I guess it depends on money then.
If you want a cheap decent one there is Honda 929. If you have money to spend then just buy any current 1000 cc from the big four like Yamaha R1. Basically whichever he likes more.
>>15078779
no leaks at all. I will see if it gets worse or not.
>>15078798
He did mention liking the R1. I think he had a picture of a red and black one on his phone
>>15077644
>hhhhmmmmmmmmmppppppphhhh
im guessing its for a ducati?
if its like a 848evo dark I will jizzum everywhere. pics once complete thankyouplease
>>15078780
Yes I can afford a litrebike. They are cheaper to buy and maintain than my bike.
You clearly don't know why litrebikes are dangerous for someone that doesn't have experience.
nephew posting is the best
>>15078811
aren't they just dangerous full stop? why not get a motard or something? I find riding a bike closer to limits more entertaining than crotchrocketing

in yurop we have to take courses with instructor sitting behind you on closed parking lot and then you do like another 20 hours of riding with him around city. After that we take test and ride with different guy who then decides if we are worthy of bike license.

DANGEROUS ASSAULT BIKES
How hard is it to drunk drive on a motorcycle and get away with it? Like, half as easy as on a car or maybe three quarters as easy?
>>15078957
>>15078964
Just as easy
>>15078959
Not really
Dunno wat Europe you in, but here you have a 6 month grace period where you can ride to prepare for the exam
>>15078964
gets easier the faster you go
gyroscopic effect or some gay science shit
>>15078974
wait so do you just buy bike even if you never rode before and just GO ?
>>15078964
you sober up pretty quickly
>>15078959
even with instruction, hopping right on a 600 racing replica as a noob is bad idea. People don't get that their cheap $3k 600 motorcycle is the equivalent of driving a +700hp lamorghini as your first car.
>>15078959
No you take a written test and are allowed to jump on any bike you see fit.
Then several months later you can take the actual riding test.
cornering is better than sex
>>15079006
How'd you know, you do neither
>>15078964
Harder becuase in my experience you have to plan for shit ahead of time on a bike if traffic is bad or the road is curvy.
>>15079005
No. You go in and take the riding test and walk out 15 minutes later with a full license. You live in a cuck state.

>>15079021
You have to a have a permit before getting the license in pretty much every state I know of.
Also, clearly you've never been to a DMV if it only takes 15mins.
>>15079037
im srs as fuck m8
>>15079039

>it's not the 600's fault
>>15078401

>>15078401

Look here you shit brained fucks, every single bike in existence is a good beginner bike as long as you aren't stupid enough to take it into heavy traffic before you know how to shift.
Just find an empty parking lot or stretch of road to practice your shit before you fling it onto everyone else.

why not? seriously, I'm a new rider and a no bike just trying to be havebike and ride.
>>15079222
my mistake. stupid people deserve to live and procreate so that people have more and more stupid babies and as a whole humanity becomes a giant mass of wobbling idiots that buy litre superbikes with no prior experience because people on the internet said it's okay

If you saved a bit more you can get a bike that's a little more than eh. And more fun to ride.

If its decent go for it. 1000 bucks 'aint bad for first bike. thing is probably issue riddled because of the price. Get someone knowledgeable to go check it out with you.

I intend to upgrade in about 6mo-1yr so why spend a bunch on a starter bike?

He's trying to hock it so cheap because he just found out his gf is pregnant. comes with all his riding gear too, not that it fits.

To save you the trouble of spending a month trying to sell it, and another month or two of looking for anther bike.
>>15079266
it's not like these bikes depreciate a lot. If you buy one now for 3k you will probably be able to sell it for >2,6k in a year unless you crash it.

And nothing of value was lost.
Why do black people love quads so much?

If you're dying to ride, go for it. I saved up for a SV650 instead ($2600) instead of the $1k specials and I'm pretty happy I did. I got it in May of 2014 and I still enjoy riding it. Take that however you please.

okay then, I've also been looking at other 250's and 300's, but do you guys have an infographic or model recommendations for new bike buyers? I've read the OP and read through the sites posted in the sticky, but it didn't really give any recommendations for beginner street bikes.
Since I'm just starting out to riding all I've heard is buy used, buy a 300cc or smaller, and buy top of the line riding gear. I don't have a clue of models that would be a decent first pick besides ninja and CBR, and that's only because my friends regurgitate their favorites onto me, so I have no idea whether those are deathtraps, moneypits, or not.
