Hi guys. My fifteen year old nephew is starting riding soon and I'd like to get him a motorcycle as his parents (my brother and wife) are a little square. I'd like to get him something he can hang onto for a while, must be 4cyl, must be water cooled, must have a fairing. What do you guys recommend?
When the fuck is Honda going to import the NC750S so I can actually consider that bike without having to fall for the adventure meme
>>15152713
>red bull hare scramble tomorrow

Oh wait that's not going to happen lol
>>15152757

This is the first Harley I actually want.
Blogholes, blogpost.
Bike school ride 8/8. Best ride. One of the earlier instructors rode with me, man was larger and deserves a commendation for being chill beyond measure. Got to choose; cone course or street. Street is more my weak spot, chose that, rest was amazing. I actually finally learned the clutch magic. Stalled twice but immediately recovered, went normal speeds, no fuckups.
Kid in a car waved to me. I almost cried of joy, but only raised left hand fingers because fear of fucking up. Instructor gave big wave in my place. Life was good today.
One polish tourist bus fucked up something in front of us and I didn't know how to act but simple, calm instructions were given, followed, and I finished the ride confident, calm and happy.
Exam on Monday. I needed this, I think I'll pull it off. Bike purchase soon, SEM soon.
Life is good.

I rode the 700 DCT and it's a pain for filtering
A real pity since the bike is light and narrow, but you just feel the lack of a clutch
Supposedly the 750 is actually gud, though
>>15152829

There's about all of 2 corners I can actually take with a good lean. 2. In my whole commute. That really won't get rid of anything. People bitch about strips without taking into account if there's anyplace that can give you the leans to get them gone.

Yes you should buy a motorcycle. And if you still hate life you can already crash into a wall at 75+ without gear, but bikes are pretty uplifting and cool
>>15153646
you may as well have said it performs poorly in 3ft of water you dumbshit
>>15153646
It's not even a bad thing about the motorcycle, it's just an opinion. Tons of people have toured on sport bikes, like this guy

M8 it's bad for long distance touring. Just because it can do it doesn't mean it's good at it when you can compare it to actual touring bikes and shit. A Honda win 100 is shit for long distance touring bit I still want to do that.

Nah senpai, met an older owner who was moving overseas, wanted someone to have and love his bike (mine now.) Gave it to me pretty cheap compared to what he could've sold it for.
Also it's fucking amazing, I can't name a single flaw on it, except the hand grips are slightly worn and I wanna buy new fresh ones, I think I'm gonna hold onto my Nuda for my entire life, if I can. Cherish it like a child.

>>15153847
Some people buy bikes just to look at, they maintain them, and older bikes are fine.
A lot of people on /dbt/ are shit noob riders so go with whatever looks good to you, and if you feel you can trust the previous owner, and you can trust your own judgement, buy what you want.
Also, to be sure of the bike, check its oil, sit on it, test brakes, test drive if you can. Hear it run, check if any smoke comes from exhaust, so on, check sprockets, all external parts you can easily see.
If you buy it, change oil and filter to be safe if you want, chain and sprockets too if you are paranoid, give it a good runnin' and give it your tender loving care.
Also, don't listen to the people who are all about 'dat chicken strip' learn your limits, learn your bike, slowly, only slowly push your bike to it's limits, and you to your limits, this will keep the skid demon at bay.
>found a bunch of skids sperging over the aprila
>ignoring the ducatis nearby
The pride
>>15153847
What matters most is if and how the bike was ridden.
16k of thrashing would be much wider than 55k of puttering around.
You also need to factor in how long you're planning on keeping the bike, whether it would be better to buy a bike with lower kays to preserve some of the resale value or buy one with more keys that's been maintained well to keep fit a long time.
You can't possibly draw conclusions on how the bike's been treated without actually looking at it and talking to the owner anyway.

I'd rather look at aprilias than ducs but I hate all italian bikes equally
>>15153847
there are no thumb rules when buying a used bike. Etiher it has been maintained and cared for or not. You could compare like a 1995 GSXR750 with 30.000km to another 1995 GSXR750 with 30.000km. One could be excellent and the other beaten to shit despite being the same bike with same mileage.
There are good 80s bikes with 20.000km
There are bad 80s bikes with 20.000km

I want to just once own a Ducati and feel the prestige feeling
Like you know the "cheap" rice turbosupra surpasses your ferrari but it's just not the same feeling
so dbt I'm currently passing my motorcycle license (A2) but with this stupid law I feel like :
-beginner bikes like Z300, duke 390 or ninja 300 are too expensive to insure because I never had a vehicule with a motor before
-old 250cc bikes like the ybr 250 might be boring to ride but super cheap
what do ? it's pretty much fun and money vs cheap and... cheap.

>Is that autist still here?
Oh you're talking about me.
Yeah I'm here.
Haven't seen here sice, tell her she's a slut
>>15153918
there's plenty of old bikes below 35kw that aren't 250
>>15153918
Buy a cbf600 and restrict it you div.
>>15153918
Either
GS500
>cheap
>sits right at 48hp limit
>more torque than 250
>175km/h top speed
>can scrape pegs if you want to get better
or a fun unrestricted 125 2-stroke RS125/NSR125
Or you go for a dualsport
DR650
KLR650
DR350
DT125 unrestricted
>cheap
>tons off fun offroad
>decent on road
I'd go for a dualsport, it's the most fun you can get while restricted.
>>15153918
get a restricted CB500 :^)
>>15153864
