Need help from you guys.
18 year old male
150lbs and 5'7
I am looking at investing in a motorcycle and have no idea how to go about it.
Don't have much money rn.
Budget would be $4,000 at most but prefer lower.
WUT DO?
>>15132226
Oh now I see the GL on it. I thought you had a generic GL bag.
Been thinking about the Mosko Moto 40 or 80l system for my dual sport adventures.
>>15132182
>>15132226
Is that entire black mass of plastic at the front the gas tank?
>>15132242
what kind of riding do you want to do?
>>15132242
get a dirt bike/dual sport. They are perfect for shorter riders
Is this radiator protector worth it for $80?
The bike is nice enough I want to protect it, I have some rear axle sliders and spools coming in the mail soon too.
>>15132242
Get a $1500 Ninja 250, spend $800 on nice gear, set aside $500 for regular maintenance, spend remaining $1200 on cocaine.
>>15132248
My roommates on the waiting list for the Mosko 80L right now. He's super hype about it.

>>15132242

I thought I really wanted a sport bike when I first got into it. then I realized I wanted a dual sport. then realized how cool a sumo would be
Just to college (30 mins) and work (5 mins)
>>15132257
Huh, I just notice my clutch cable must of moved around a but when I was putting on the sliders.
>>15132257

any recommendations?
>>15132266
I only put stickers on my helmet.
They're starting to peel off because I go too fast.
>>15132284

get a dualsport like a klx250 or crf250 or xt225/250
theyre fairly short, light and durable for learning the basics. then you can decide if you want to go streetbikes later, after you figured things out.
>>15132322
T-thanks anon
>>15132318
I know :( I rode maybe half an hour today, the rest was spend in class and writing a paper. I'm heading out to some civil war battlefields on Thursday though, outta be fun.

np ya little shit
I'm trying to decide on what sort of motorcycle I want. I'm conflicted between a 250 class dualsport or something like a klr650. Maybe even a 250 ninja or some kind of general purpose naked. I live in Colorado and the flow of traffic is 85mph minimum on the interstates. I want a durable general purpose motorcycle that can do everything adequately. I'm also a cheap bastard so I'm leaning toward a smaller motorcycle. I don't care to ride fast but if I get a big porky 650 it needs to cruise at 85 to be viable on I 70 or I 25.
Any ideas, I like the klr650 but I read it's only good for fire trails and gravel roads. My fuckin Honda Civic is good on gravel and fire trails so how shitty off road are they exactly? How syitty is a street bike in comparison?
bike and tires for Alaska winters?
where the roads are covered in snow for half the year.
I"m not giving up on motorcycle riding just because it is below freezing, covered in snow, and dark half the year.
Any of you guys build a motorcycle? Looking at a real basket-case of a motorcycle and was wondering what you guys have had experience wise.
>>15132378
dr650 would do adequate for what you want all around or an xr650l if you have the legs for it.
klr is pretty gutless and is pretty heavy so its not all that good at anything.
>>15132378
None of those bikes are going to be feel safe on the Interstate at 85mph.
I was on a Ninja 300 and at 85mph it was still questionable.
>>15132378
most 250s are going to be screaming on the highway at 60+
I'd say dr650/klr650 are good first bikes, but heavy. esp if you're a big nig.
>>15132379
FJR1300 or other tourer with a winter car tire on the rear and studded front.
Make sure your will is up to date.

How many of you go bike only as in no car or truck available to use? Think about selling my truck and current bike to get a new super tenere and going bike only
>>15132463
Pebbles destroying my radiator is exactly why I bought the thing on impulse.
What's kind if silly is I should be prioritizing more safety gear but I'm more worried about the bike lel.
>>15132483

>>15132478
m8 you have the god tier combo of practicality. Don't fuck it up by selling the truck
>>15132469
Gimme dat ute
>>15132483
A bike is replaceable, you are not.
personal safety gear > bike safety
>>15132379
You can attach a side car and it'll solve the problem with traction through turns. Good tires with studs and you will stop faster than most any of the cagers out there. Nothing will solve how you will survive when it's -40 with 55mph windchill. You'd need heated gear, snowmobile shit all the time.
People in Alaska like to drive rwd trucks and try to pull out into the road to turn and spin their tires and lose traction. That'd probably be what kills you.

Safety gear is only worth it if it is protecting you from things that happen often. Like flying stones or hearing damage due to noise.

I still have my Miata, but I've only drove it once since March, to move it from my old house back to my Mom's house to get it out of the driveway. Totally doable if you live some place where the roads are cleared well in the winter.

I like to think they help with air flow inside the helm
>>15132378
if you want to go off road get a dual sport (pretty much a dirt bike with lights and plates)
you can't get a dual sport that'll also do 85+ mph and still be a reasonable first bike. off road bikes tend to have very short gearing, torquey powerbands, and low hp. any 250 will be screaming at 80mph+. while a 650 will be big and heavy. a klr650 will do way more than just "fire trails and gravel roads".
look at a drz400s for a happy medium.
>>15132822

Probably a Ninja 250/300 then. That's the most practical bike for college/work commutes (aside from a car). High MPG, capable of highway jaunts, holds value decently as an entry level bike.

>>15133393

Bikes need to be lighter -> less space for battery
>>15133420
But bikes are also lighter, requiring less power to move, and the batteries in it will not be the kind sold to the masses that have to last 1000 charges. They'll probably be some cutting edge replace-every-4-charges shit.
>>15133405
Same here for now. I used to use Tyre back in the day, but cba updating it since a couple years back. Ideally, I'd like to add notes and stuff and plan the ride on my desktop, and then send that data to my phone or gps and be done with it.

>>15133498
fuk u nobike
>>15133483
I just looked up the averages and I'm surprised the average speed difference between 125c and superbike is only 22mph.
>>15133513
if your bike gets to 120 fairly quickly and tops out in a similar area then it's fairly easy to maintain a similar average, whereas the bigger bikes go a lot faster and have to do a lot more slowing
>>15132478
I'm bike only, what do you want to know?
I live in a very central suburb in Melbourne and don't need to commute for work so of I were only interested in getting from A to B I'd rely on public transport and perhaps buy into a car sharing company for when I need to get out of the city. I probably ride equally for leisure and transportation. Whenever I need to purchase something large that can't be delivered I'll hire a ute for $60AUD a day.

I don't want to pull it apart and see how many thousands of dollars damage i did to it guys...
It looks so peaceful when it is clean...
Thinking i should just buy the big bore kit for it and be done with it, 330cc will be plenty enough to get me killed at some point in the future and it will probably be cheaper than rebuilding it as a 300...
>>15133662
Ita a two stroke just rebuild it
>>15133667
will still cost around $1800 to rebuild if what i think is fucked is fucked.
If im right it needs a new piston, rings, bore, conrod, crankshaft and a new water pump.
>>15133681
Oh yeah thats not including the new radiators it needs, lets call it 2 grand.
>>15132836
what about europe? drz400, dr or klr650 are not really that common here. Lots of bmw f650gs, translap etc. but they are all 190kg+.

>>15133747
you have no proof it didn't
>>15133767
true i guess i don't.
>>15133662
Why would you ever rebuild a dirt bike without a big bore kit?
I understand skipping the stroker, but BB rarely contributed to added wear usually.
>>15133854
because its already a a big bore 250 i guess, i just don't want to do the 380 big bore kit on it, i feel like a 380cc 2 smoke would be too much but the 380 kits are cheaper than doing a 330 conversion.
>>15133871
Why would you not go as big as you can? Do you suck dicks? Are you a peter puffer? How tall are you?
>>15133871
Too much weight or too much power?
Can you screw in a gas restriction to limit the poweroutput of a 380? I guess you want to save other internals from getting too much stress?
>>15133883
>Do you suck dicks?
asks the fag
>>15133889
Too much power for the riding i do, i generally look for the hardest single trails in an area and ride on them, more power than the 300 has doesn't really get you anywhere faster
And i could probably set it up to have more bottom end than it does now and no more top end by fiddling with the power valve springs but i know me and i would just run it with no power valve spring like i do now because im a dickhead.
Im just not someone that should have overly powerful things, more confidence than skill.

My family owns a stainless steel fabrication company so I have that advantage, otherwise I would just buy one. Should be able to knock one together in a couple hours. The only challenge will be making the fittings for the swing arm, but I can get those machined.

Why does my bike have no low end power?
It's a 600, but I shouldn't be on the verge of stalling while giving it throttle from every stop, right? The delay from the time I give it gas and when it builds up speed is ridiculous.

Triumph tt600 i4. If I'm under 3-4k revs the bike feels like it will stall and it is SLOW going up to 6k in first regardless of how wide I open the throttle but when I hit it I finally have power.

>Unfortunately, the TT600 was marred by two major issues. Being the company's first fuel-injected 600cc sportbike, the initial 2000 model had choppy throttle response and bad fuel mapping, leading to harsh on/off throttle transitions.
>These issues were fixed with the 2001 model, but some vehicles ended up losing 2-3 horsepower in the upper portion of the powerband.[2]
but yeah 600s don't have a booty on the powerband anyway, it's why the 675 and 750's are popular (and exist) and a growing super-mid class (F3 800/brutale, 899/959, FZ-09 I suppose? Street triple 800) is becoming a thing.

well shit, can't get my license for another month then
Been thinking about possibly getting a bike, so I can have something fun alongside my daily driver (can't keep a second car)...
It would probably just be for hopping around town, don't need to go fast (read the beginner guides and seems like that's out of reach anyway) or even that far.
Any advice on what bikes to keep an eye out for? I'd like something cute, or something I can take pride in owning and working on. But also cheap. I'm in UK.

>How do you stay in business selling goods
By pricing them at a point that is profitable
and at the price point bikes have almost always been at, moving inventory is more important than stringently maximizing every transaction.
>>15135026
mine does.
its dodged car doors opening up into the road moments before they've opened. It can actually see the future and is capable of collision mapping and abstinence.
>>15135017
Don't know, presumably by the sheer popularity of it, they shift bikes like crazy.
How retarded is it to ride without a helmet?
It's been 90+ degrees here the last few days. I commute to work and opted not to wear a helmet yesterday or today. Only go on the highway for about four minutes, the other ten are on 55mph roads. I learned how to ride a motorbike in India and always wore a helmet there, but I'm starting to get lazy in the US.
>>15134851
>have A2 license
>did test alongside brother
>he can go straight to A license despite having no experience
>I'm stuck a 47hp for 2 years
Kill me, my only hope is that if Britain leaves the EU, we'll make our own licensing laws and my A2 will somehow turn into an unrestricted license, or at least automatically upgrade.
The fact I have to retake the same test after two years is total bullshit.
>>15135042
Pretty tarded.
I didn't expect my self to crash but my chin was the first thing to land.
If i didn't have a helmet, i wouldn't have a face.
>>15135042
Wear a helmet dipshit.
>>15135042
in situations like this, I think of my mom.
she would want me to wear a helmet when im weaving in and out of traffic at 130 mph
>>15135042
If you're so concerned about sweating and stinking up the place just go the restroom and wash your face before checking in jesus christ this isn't rocket science.
>found perfect rouad to hoon on

>>15135068

>>15135065

>>15135051
Will do. Hopefully don't crash and die on the way home today though, kek.
>>15135042
Lol get someone to post a photo of your head when it splits in half after a crash.
If you have to ask that question you're too stupid to survive
>>15135091
I see so many people who don't wear helmets every day. There are no pro-helmetless people here?
>>15135068
indians dont wash you idiot.
>>15135076
you dont have to take our advice and if you want to go full blown 3rd world country on us and not wear a helmet just know that one slip up and your brain will get turned into spaghettio's
>>15135099
Fair enough. I just don't feel too endangered. I leave my house, ride for five minutes on a road which is almost always empty, go on the highway for four miles, then go onto a two-lane 55mph road for four minutes, then I'm going 35mph or less the rest of the way.
Nobody bats an eye at bropeds going 40-50mph helmetless, but have more CCs and you're suddenly tard-tier.
>>15135120
I mean it is what it is, in reality if you're a good rider nothing will happen but do you honestly trust your ONE life to other US drivers that much?
>>15135120

>>15135127
>if you're a good rider nothing will happen

>>15135127
Of course not.
I wear my helmet probably 85-90% of the time I take my bike out. Around town/campus I don't, but I usually do for the commute and if I have to go any long distances.
Skipped putting it on today and yesterday. Feels good, DESU, but I'm not going to make it a habit.
/dbt/, hold me, I think I just lost my riding buddy. We were going to go ride some trails today, he was on his way over and when making the left turn from the main road to my street, a truck turned left into him. He's okay, his bike is a bit fucked but his wife just had their first kid a couple weeks ago. I'm like 86% sure he's going to have to sell his bike and I won't have anyone to go riding with. This fucking sucks man, we just got bikes a couple months ago.
>>15135134

>>15135149

>we just got bikes a couple months ago
Jej, you're not gonna make it...
He's probably already bobbing his head to his wife nagging him
>how childish of him to have an hobby
>>15135169
I'm pretty broken up about it man, this was gonna be an awesome summer. I'm still going to go riding, but now he probably wont be able to go at all. We could easily get it all fixed, but she probably won't be cool with us going. We just bought a trailer, maybe she'll be fine with us trailering the bikes to the trailhead, I dunno.
Fuck man...

A concept cooked up in the 80s by Honda, the Motocompo was a 50cc bike designed to be compact enough to be put in the trunk of the kei car Honda City that was released alongside it.
The idea was to have people drive somewhere in their tiny ass Honda Cities and then have some leasure cruising on the Motocompo.
Key features of the Motocompo are the foldable handlebars, seat and foot pegs resulting in a nice square box with wheels that was just 1.1m x 240mm x 540 mm.
>>15135385
Yeah, for around 2k € for a used one and they're pretty darn rare so it's kind of... I don't know. I would like to have one, but not at that price.
