There are no less than 10 cop cars ahead of me, and I'm riding a fucking gold sport bike, I ain't lane splitting.
>>15198455

How much could I realistically ask for this? It's a 92 Ural 650cc without a side car but it still runs
I know it's a hunk of crap but it's one of the few bikes my ussr born parents would accept and at least it has a bit of novelty to it; i'll primarily use it to commute to uni in the fall and plan to dick around with it mechanically this summer.
I posted in last thread and got some helpful advice (thank you /dbt/) but i still don't know how much this is worth in it's condition and how much i should ask to get a bargain.
here's link http://nanaimo.craigslist.ca/mcy/5578434447.html

Too bad. Get something else.
You're not gonna be able to commute to uni with that unreliable thing. Get something with a better brand.
>>15198516
That fat piece of shit can't corner either
>>15198512
I would pay $1000 max, probably even less. realistically I wouldn't buy it at all.
$3000 is the "hardon idiot collector hopefully-someone-buys-this-piece-of-crap" price

He should just get a gsx-s1000. Fz09 is a lame bike.
>>15198512
urals are total shit
>>15198542
or GSR 750.
Really anything but a FZ09
>>15198549
I'm not so sure about the gsr 750, I only sat on one in a dealer and it felt real cheap. Cant remember the price of it but even still, felt worse quality than the fz07/09.
>>15198524
rip
>>15198542
>Not an fz/mt10
>>15198553
That should be reversed, since those yamahas are made as cheap as possible.
>>15198542
I agree, I haven't ridden a gsx-s1000 yet so I can't say for sure, but the one criticism retards on /dbt/ like to rail on it for is the jerky throttle reviewers talk about but having ridden an MT-09....there's no way it's worse.
The gsx-s does have the brembos and fully adjustable (albeit not showa bp) suspension and stuff and the MT-09 suspension...no adjusting you could do with clickers can fix that.
>>15198553
GSR750 is just a much older design than the 1000, I wouldn't bother if it was me.
>>15198558
Also probably a good choice.

So just after posting this a melanin enriched gentleman on a Fireblade split past me, I figured the cops would be to busy beating him to death to notice me so I followed him. I passed about 3 cars and the entire thing started moving for no apparent reason, but thanks for keeping me entertained /dbt/.

>A south Georgian man has survived after being trapped underneath his motorcycle for eight days.
>Roland Howard Goff, 63, was found trapped under his Honda VTX1300 in a ditch near his Brooks County home in the USA.
>The bike, which would have weighed roughly 320kg, crushed his right leg and, unable to move or call for help, Roland was left to improvise when it came to staying alive. He drank rain water and ate whatever he could reach around him to keep his body ticking over. While he managed to survive for eight days, he told the Georgian State Police that he felt like he could make it one more day.
>By a stroke of luck, Roland was found when his friend, William Shultz, noticed his lack of activity on social media (he hadn't posted for around five days), so he decided to go and look for him.
>William found Roland in a ditch just off his driveway. Roland says the only thing he remembered was riding down the track on the evening of Tuesday, May 17th and veering off the side of the dirt road.
>Georgia State Police says his right leg was pinned underneath his motorcycle, preventing him from being able to free himself after the accident.
>Roland was taken to South Georgia Medical Centre and while his leg is in bad condition, doctors are hopeful that he'll be able to keep it.

To be quite fair, Honda's street bikes have been sucking mad fucking cock lately.
The CBR fell behind the curve. Both the 650 and the Fireblade are not as appealing as their competition from BMW, Yamaha, and Kawasaki.
And Honda put boring v4s into every fucking bike, because apparently we needed the NC750X. Then they brought back the Africa Twin, which makes the NC750X almost completely irrelevant.
Honda's apparently giving us a new high-tech v4 superbike soon, to go to the races. Hopefully that causes more interest in the v4s Honda used to make. And hopefully Honda un-pigfats the interceptor. Right now that bike is a dad that got fat and wears a cell phone on his belt. He used to be cool, go to raves and party. But then he got some girl pregnant and now he's a responsible adult.
Well I want the interceptor to be the bikes it was in the 80s and 90s. Psychotic suicide machines, or muscle bikes with hardcore racing engines in them.
Honda's also late to the retro/scrambler game. If Honda decided to give us a v4 retro bike like the Saber/Magna/Interceptor, and maybe sold it with a scrambler package, I'd be in love with Honda again.
But no, Soichiro's fucking dead, and the company's afraid of innovating and taking risks. Which shits all over the founding legacy of Honda. Which was built around racing, taking risks, building new things, and innovating.
God dammit, I want to love Honda. Honda motorcycles used to be some of the best blood pumping machines, especially when I was growing up. But now...fuck man, at least my first bike is team green. I'd be embarrassed to have a modern Honda.

Dude I live in illinois and lane split all the way home. Skokie to chicago.

Hey man, I know that feel all too well. Hang in there m8. It gets better.
>>15198807
>>15198428
I lanesplit all the time. If a cop stops you tell him your bike will overheat and lock up if you sit in traffic.
I live in burgerland and saw another motorcycle lane split for the first time yesterday (it is illegal). He would go around cars on a double yellow line, and split between a bus and a car going like 40mph but didn't split between cars at a stop light. I figure if he's going to break the law anyway he might as well move all the way to the front instead of taking one positing and sitting in traffic again.
>>15198802

>And Honda put boring v4s into every fucking bike, because apparently we needed the NC750X.
It's a parallel twin
>>15198828
maybe he figures sitting they can get his plate?
>>15198822
>cop stopping you
>while lane splitting
>>15198838
My plate is visible. I'd rather not get fucked over by the state police for running. 99% of the time the cops are pretty cool if you stop on a sportbike anyway. Why wouldn't I?
If they didn't catch me though I'm fucking gone.
>>15198836
well he split between people while moving and then stopped at the light in front of him. They would have got his plate anyway.
>>15198802
regular?
>>15198838
there was an anon who used to post here that was splitting and the cops called ahead to other cops to stop him and had him arrested/had his bike seized. They claim it's "evading" and that's felony enough
why isn't lane splitting legal everywhere /dbt/?
also if it was legal would you do it in your state? (or do you now)

>>15198872
I need to get a plate like this.
>>15198851
I'm sure he was splitting slowly and safely through legitimate traffic not hooning it up while traffic flowed at normal speed or anything.
>>15198884
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh0lFQ_rQYM
Instead they just do this
>>15198884
Actually in chicago I've lane split right past cops on streets in the bike lane. No fucks given.
>>15198895
it only works if many people have them. it's why make model etc are recorded as well.
>>15198862
Illegal here. Done it twice. Twas nice.
If it was nice I would probably take my bike everywhree.

>oh, it was just that guy with a bunch of Ms and Ns on his plate again
>i'll stop him at his house later
>>15198830
Yeah, I fucked up with the NC750X. But the 636 is more interesting and winning more than the 650.
>>15198862
Lane splitting isn't legal in Ontario because bikers don't get together to make themselves heard, and because cagers would murder all of us in the first year of it being legal.
>>15198905
>remove all indication of make and model on my bike (already done)
>They think it's a Gixxer or R1 with quad exhaust mod or some shit
EZ.
>>15198898
that's such bullshit
I mean the only time I'd split was in fully stopped traffic, or if someone was road raging me and I needed to get away.

>>15198981
riding 5 years
crash about once a year on my own doing something stupid
no lessons, wanna go to track school on of these days
>>15198981
a couple of years maybe 5-6 had a gap in the middle where I didn't ride bikes then came back after a while.
I've had one crash, it was entirely my fault and it's stupid.
I always knew it was a possibility I would crash on the bike, but what I thought would happen was that it would be somebody else's fault and it was actually totally mine, the web will put it into your brain that other people, "cagers" and what not are the biggest risk to you as a biker, but it's actually you yourself who will statistically be the most likely one to cause yourself to come off.
Wear the good gear and you'll be good though, the only thing I wasn't wearing on that day was proper riding pants and the only thing I hurt was my knee (nothing broken just very bruised and swelled, impossible to bend for a week or so)

>>15198981
>How long have people on /dbt/ been riding on motorcycles?
Since I was 5
>Have you been in accident(s) in your time
Yes. Three. One time when I was 5, locked up the rear, and panicked which led to me falling over (still have a scar from sliding along), one time where I learned why the front wheel had to be pointing straight after I came down from a jump on a dirt bike when I was like 10, and recently when a bunch of fucking bullshit had me breaking my front wheel on a curb.
I'd chock up all three to my fault. I probably should stopped riding as soon as my headlight failed on the third.
>what/who was to blame?
See above
>any lessons or pro tips learned from them?
When the rear locks let up on the brake and don't panic. Make sure your landings are fucking perfect when you catch air, and for fuck's sake never ride at night without headlights on unlit streets.
I've done tons of other stupid shit, like when I got headshake on my 80s shitbike after I ran wide off a tight corner and ended up in some gravel. Gave me the wobblies once I hopped back up onto the road but that's easily fixed by rolling off and letting the bike flip its shit.
Went sideways on the MV at 75mph in the rain riding home one day (Michelin Pilots handle pretty well in rain though) because I hit a painted stripe on the road, etc etc.
>>15198981
>How long have people on /dbt/ been riding on motorcycles?
Since I was 6, so 17 years.
>Have you been in accident(s) in your time and what/who was to blame? any lessons or pro tips learned from them?
Plenty of dirt accidents, but only time I've ever ate it on the street was last week. Pro Tip: Don't try and drift on knobbies in the rain.
>>15199004

>>15198998
Got a 600cc for a first bike, rode for 4 months and wrecked because cager cut me off, I locked up the front trying not to hit the car and got launched. Stopped the bike 3 feet from the car.
>>15199023
I don't watch them usually but I'm kind of a Deadpool fan and it was pretty good.
anyone in chicago wanna cruise right now?
>>15199043
Sure
>>15199027
even though it was likely the cars fault, that's one of those things you learn as a rider, that everyone will cut you off so you kind of have to be ready, cars cut me off all the time but there's usually a limited amount of acceleration they can do, so any time I see a car ready to pull out I'm set up on the brakes and at a speed that if they try and pull out I can stop or avoid no matter what.
I've been cut off by a lot of cars but I've never crashed because of it (yet, fingers crossed, sometimes shit happens and people just fly out of nowhere, I get it) I'm not saying it's your fault or any shit like that but I'm sure you know in retrospect there would have been something more you could have done.
>>15199050

But its not sarcastic. I live in chicago

For real. I wanna see what that CBR can do.
>>15199088
lel. It doesn't seem to like trying to run without a battery. I tried running it off a battery charger running out 60amps but it was not having it. I played a bit of my summer car and it inspired me enough to go outside and fuck around looking for that goddamned piece for a few more hours, so maybe tonight.
I've been watching Bakuon!! and now I'm into bikes.
What do I do. What bike is gud?

when the knucklehead climbed the bear fountain he got ticketed, hence he got "bear'd" which is a homophone for Baird.
>>15199135
shit wheelie. not even a foot up.

It's a fun movie anons, if you watch it for what it is. A capeshit flick with an immortal, impossible to kill, antihero with powers we all wish we had
>tfw you'll never hit the togue with super healing abilities

omehgahd
>>15199147
have you ridden a turbo bike?
>>15199158
and did the good guys beat him? if so, it sounds like every single other capeshit flick.
>>15199148
you a dumb nigga
My trip is Baird because I came from /v/ and my favorite character in my favorite game at the time was Damon Baird. It just so happens that the fountain incident like a year later had a bear involved.
>>15199166
No, but I sat on a POS shade tree turbo R1 once.
I assume factory turbo bikes are basically unnoticeable like factory turbo cars, and laggy high power turbo bikes are dangerous as fuck.
Why is it cheaper to buy the exhaust in pieces than as a hole?
>>15199170
nah you got bear'd mate just admit it
>>15199177
Naw some. It factory turbo bikes are nuts. Feels like the wanna take off from underneath you. Straightens out your arms real quick.
>>15199186
so explain why you have that image saved on your harddrive
>>15199168
Do you know what an antihero is?
>>15199186
Nah mate, I fucking won that fight.

rip based bear fountain, best fountain I ever seen.
>>15199204

>>15199177
When I was reading a story of some turbobusa owner he said he had to go to a bigger turbo to make it take longer to spool up. The small turbo spun up so fast it wanted to wheelie or spin out any time he touched the throttle.
>>15199219
sounds like a great problem to have
Any point for a liter if I'm city riding?
>>15199222
sure, for when you get out of the city, which you should be doing on your current bike anyway.
>>15199222
showing off to the 14 year old girls at the local school
>>15199222
New rider here, what does this mean?
>>15199229
1000cc engine
>>15199229
no litre no peter
>>15199229
1L = 1000mL = 1000cc.
Litre bikes are generally 1000cc inline 4's, sometimes V-twins and V-4's so on ladedadeda
>>15199227
>implying a 14 year old girl knows the difference between a 1000 and a 125
>>15199222
Why buy a bike unless you gonna do something fun with it? Get a supermoto or naked liter for city riding, liter for city/togue, 600 for togue/stunting
>>15199219
Yeah my buddy had to gear his gpz750 turbo down.

Sort of dropped first bike at about 1mph coming into my driveway the first month I had it. Hit some unexpected slush, not perpendicular enough to curb, bike just suddenly dropped out from under me. Almost caught it but essentially landed on my side and leg; no pain or injuries except to my pride, bike suffered a small scuff on the brake lever and that was it.
I've had close calls such as nearly getting SMIDSY'd here and there (not even speeding or anything, just cagers caging) with one requiring enough braking that I locked the rear wheel for a bit. Had people lazily cross over center lines (had one of those two days ago) into my lane, not pay attention when going for a merge or lane change, one guy in a minivan almost sideswiped me after half-overtaking me despite having been driving literally right next to me for the last 30 seconds.
My personal favorites though are the MOTHERFUCKING NIGGERS IN THE POLICE. Swinging wide on turns ending up head on at me in a left turn lane I was going down, coming to a stop for some stupid reason in a paved medium and poking the front bumper into my lane as I'm oncoming (guy wasn't even prematurely pulling a U-turn, ended up going back into the lane for the direction he'd been going previously), etc. I've long known that police are a bunch of shitbird cunts (only one officer I've ever talked to was something approaching a human being and even then he was technically unlawfully stopping me which with the benefit of hindsight I'd have loved to point out to him at the time) I just didn't expect to have to start watching out for them trying to fucking kill me.
>lessons learned?
1. FUCK. THE. POLICE.
2. People are fucking retarded and you should always expect them to be retarded (not learned, just reinforced).
3. FUCK. THE. POLICE.
4. FUCK. THE. POLICE.
And most importantly: FUCK. THE. POLICE.
>>15199111
just let me know when mane
>>15199248
yeah being a lil bitch bike
>>15199252
you a lil bitch person
What do you guys think about this?
https://watertown.craigslist.org/mcy/5616602287.html
I don't mind buying it and having to work on it for a few days, but I don't want it sitting for a month. From basic searching it seems like the problem could be dirty carbs/ pilot jets. Any other ideas?
>>15199255
FUCKING ROASTED
>>15199233
do all those bikes top out at 299km/h or does the speedo just stop there while the bike keeps pulling?
>>15199248
Mainly having 750cc too few
>>15199267
speedo stops but speedos are inaccurate too.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fastest_production_motorcycles#Gentlemen.27s_agreement_to_end_competition
most bikes will actually still rev and you can feel them pulling past the 299 but speedos overread.
>>15199267
Limited by ecu+speedo is off by up to 10%
>>15199255
What a poser
>>15199257
like 80% chance you leave the carb in pine sol over night and it runs like a top the next day
>>15199248
in regards to this, i left my kill switch on and tried to start it then turned it off and it still wouldnt start, could the plugs be fouled?
>>15199297
>could the plugs be fouled?
Why don't you just check them?
How was dbt's day
>>15199287
Is that a real thing? I can just drop my carb in a bucket of pine sol and it will clean itself?
>>15199305
Yeah just get the diaphragm(s) out first. Not even joking google it.
>>15199304
gud hw r u?
>>15199287
Just looked that up. Looks like a good first trouble shooting step, thanks
>>15199322
Fuck me I would have tried that if I had known. I've tried cleaning it a million times and adjusting everything in every direction but the floats keep sticking or something so it floods every time it's not held perfectly straight.

Laying at my grills place having some beer watching adult swim
Was a good day of riding until the thick fog rolled in :/
>>15199110
She has now told everyone she knows, your faggotry is going to become a IRL thing for you now
>>15199343
Could've gone worse
>>15199339
Decent amount of riding. Plenty of miles and saw some cool sights.
Tmrw is rain and helping someone move.
So I have no complaints
>>15199339
This song is pretty alright
So why hasn't Yamaha or Suzuki significantly changed their 600 i4s yet?
>>15199360
You're the one who wants to have a beer right? Found a good local pub when you hurry tf and get to NZ

replace the float needles. if they're not absolutely pristine they can stick
>>15199366
I've yet to find a song of Lorn's that I can't listen to.
This one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxg4C365LbQ is great because of the video and the song itself and
this song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoZHqykR04k
is my favorite.
His new album, Anvil, just came out and I'm loving it. You can pick up a few of his albums for free on his bandcamp if you want.
>>15199371
Beer is always good.

We've been here long enough to know posting pics of grills on here is never a good idea.
But she looks like Topanga of that helps
>>15199370
nobody buys them.
procure a sales list of sportsbikes from your country or state, I checked the one for australia and there were no 600s anywhere on the top 10 of any list (not counting the stuff that just plain doesn't belong in the SS list), the closest thing was the 899 which was in the top 10 of the supersport list.
Litrebikes are what people are buying, hence why BMW and aprilia make litres but don't bother with mid weight bikes.
Sup /o/
I haven't been to this part of 4chan before, but I wanted to ask advice for getting a bike.
I have been riding since I was around 18. I first learned on dirt bikes and then rode a KLR 650 through college and up until 2012. It was stolen from outside my apartment the first day after I moved in. The police have sense recovered it, but it was not in driveable condition.
I have ridden my dad's Honda Nighthawk 750 though I dislike how heavy it feels. Also have ridden a Kawasaki Versys a bit and liked that bike.
If I'm looking to get one used, how much would I expect to pay for a bike that is
> >500 CC at least
> Not a ninja, fuck that shit
> Somewhat tall? I like the feel of taller dirtbikes since I'm pretty tall.
I'm not sure how much I'd be using it. I don't drive my car too much as is, but it would help my commute a bit. So hoping to get a good deal on something.

>nobody buys them.
nigga probably 90% of bikes I see are HD or jap 600's
>>15199430
I used to, used it as t tool to quit smoking.
Was fun, still have all the gear and about 800ml of 100mg nicotine still.
>>15199434
they USED to sell a lot, that's why there were refreshed every 2 years, how many 2013+ 636's or like 2011+ gixxer sixxers do you see?
Globally that's not the trend, 600s especially don't sell in europe from what I've seen.
