That's not a Vmax.
You're not even coming to Sem go away Wr
So /dbt/, which is better, an older (2005ish) v-strom 650 or an newer honda nc700x/750x? Is v-strom too big for daily small-city commuting?
Also what is acceptable mileage for that age vstrom?

>>15382783
>Is v-strom too big for daily small-city commuting?
Kinda but the nc is not that much better.
Also the nc engine is shit.
45mpg
>>15382783
The V-Strom is fine for the city.
The NC is the perfect commuter bike, very tame and even has a large storage space with enough room to store a helmet. But it has about as much character as a washing machine. It's the most boring bike on the planet, literally a glorified scooter.
>tfw you will never own a honda NR750
>>15382832
>54HP 750cc
why would you want that?
>>15382832
>>tfw you will never own a honda
>>15382783
The nc750x is perfect in every way, except for the engine being boring. But it really doesn't have flaws beyond that. Not expensive, great mpg, great storage space, some low end torque, reliable. I'd buy the strom.
>>15382783
V-strom is top heavy. It would be nice to have long and strong legs. It is absolutely OK for commuting, handling is very easy, especially for its size. I can`t say about mileage, my has only 20K km. NC has no engine.
Which is more appropriate to say?
Motorbike or motorcycle?

Most likely not, I'm planned in at work during the time for SEM. So unless something gets cancelled or delayed by the customer I can't make it.
For next SEM I need to make sure to take Vacation as soon as we fix a date for it. Might have the new Africa Twin by then.

Unfortunate but there you go. Maybe next year both the AT's will go.

My current plan is to get a ferry to France at the last minute (23rd or 25th) and head for Slovenia with no real plan or route. Depending how often I get lost/distracted I might arrive in time for the meet.
>didn't see new bread
>>15382662
The only tracks near me require you to have a valid license for a certain period of time, either 6 months or a year. Which is stupid.
I'm already amassing gear and getting used to wearing it. I have an entry level pair of boots that I wear when I'm cruising. They were super weird at first because I was used to wearing canvas shoes, and I kept missing shifts because I couldn't feel the lever. Now that doesn't happen any more than it did when I rode in just shoes. And I look that much more like a storm trooper.
I'd also want to do a track day with other riders, and I don't really have any riding friends.
As far as upgrading goes, the only thing I really want is a little more torque and a higher redline. When I go from a light, I'm in 3rd gear by the time I get to the other side of the intersection. Every single other thing about the CBR300R is pretty awesome.
At least now I have pretty great clutch and left foot skills.

Need some help guys, wondering if I was scammed or something, going thursday to talk to them and don't want to look like a retard so I figured I'd ask here first
I crashed my bike 4 months ago and paid 400€ to get it fixed at an official kawasaki stand wherew I got my bike from, what happened was
- They got me a new clutch lever
- "fixed" my clutch foot peg, a friend of mine gave it a few kicks and basically unbent it so the stand did jack shit
- "fixed" my wheel(i guess the forks were fine?), it's pic related, one picture was taken after the accident other yesterday
- got some new boring black handle grips since mine were ripped on the sides from sliding, 20€ for that shit where I could get some sweet ones for half online but wahetevr
- they switched my handlebar, I was using an aftermarket one so I gave them my OEM one I had stored home
- They checked my turn lights, I installed them and somehow my left one wasn't working and they put it working ( I had problems with some cables, like one was missing or something but I just suck)
and that was it
is that worth 400€?
the left pic is more inclined, couldn't replicate the same position on both

How was she after the crash anyway? I think you said she was fine but it freaked you out. Been back on the bike since then?
I guess you'll have to ask them to break the bill down for you in person. If they were working on your wiring, aligning your forks, replacing handlebars etc. then it's probably all in the labour. I couldn't tell you if it's fair or not though.

I've rode my bike a few times, one with her but I feel insecure, like I don't feel safe like I used to. The brakes are shit with two persons on it and when going downhill it feels like I'll fall
Right now it's a big touristic area so I can't ride without getting killed the next two months unless I go late at night, it's incredible the accidnts I escaped in my car so far
Looks like I got jewed out on labour, really shitty since I don't feel like riding with this stupid wheel bent like hell I really feel the difference riding and turning left, just want to get rid of the bike and get a new one but I payed 3.9k for it just one year ago and now is probably worth crap. to make it worse it wasnt even money earned by me so it makes me feel even worse

get him a ninja 250, cbr 250, klr 250 or something like that. they used to make a 400cc four cylinder but that was a long time ago. now the smallest you can get with 4 is a 600c and a 15 year old kidiot has no business on that.

Please, mods! You're our only hope!
>>15383993
yeah it is but they shouldn't put it on every cuckbike
>>15383999
Nice trips, but why would you care about a 90s twin that ISNT a TL?
>>15384002
they are probably making a lot of money selling repsol cbr300s
>>15384012
Only bike to rival the BMW K1 in sheer ugly.
>tfw no repsol groom
inb4 the sperg gets triggered
>>15384014
It's also the comfiest sportbike ever produced.
>>15384012
m8 the 916 is pure aesthetics. It's pretty much THE sportsbike of the 90s
>>15384004
>TL
Good taste.
>>15384025
When I used to only like old British bikes, I used to secretly salivate over a TL1000. I bet they're so expensive now.
>>15384037
>When I used to only like old British bikes
why would you ever do that?
The only decent british bike in the era of the TL was the 955i anyway.
>>15384095
Eh. There's a beauty in the engineering of the 50s and 60s stuff. I nearly ended up on a BSA M21 for my second ever bike.

>he'll respect it!
Until his girlfriend that he's had for 3 weeks breaks up with him over a text message and he thinks his life is over and then he pins the throttle in 6th gear straight into an overpass partition and the EMTs have to clean up what's left of him with a pressure washer. 15 year olds do not have full control of their actions. Most adults don't even have full control of their actions.
Want to test if the kid is going to be a good person? Make him work for it. Challenge him to do something that he doesn't think he can do, and tell him you'll buy him an FZ-07 or something like that if he can do it. This is an opportunity for you to teach him something and reward him. Make him get a job to help pay for the insurance, which is going to be fucking mind blowingly expensive because it's a 15 year old riding a motorcycle. Teach him that nothing is free, and that working for something is critical, crucial for being successful and happy. Then he won't be so quick to do dumb shit on it, because he didn't get it for free. He worked for it. Wisdom is a much more valuable gift than a motorcycle.
Of course he could always do dank wheelies with his cholo buddies Lopez and Juan, and kill himself anyway.

The Blackbird is the bike that started the speed wars. For a while, it was the fastest motorcycle you could buy. If you're looking at one that's not beat to fuck and you can get it for a good price, there's not really a reason not to.
>>15384463
The only thing you've laid your seed in is the sock that you internally refer to by the name of your undying junior high crush, and the closest you've gotten to seeing female genitalia is the time that fat girl with blue hair tripped on your dignity and her furry fox tail pulled down her prescription pants.
Go listen to the Black Parade again and come back when you're old enough to vote.
Faggot.
What's the deal with Speed and Strength? Everything they make seems tacky and turns you into a riding billboard, but I'm unsure about their quality.
Thoughts?

Wow, you can use two insults that all the cool guys use. That makes you one too! Achievement unlocked!
Keep this up and you might level up from FAGGOT to CORPORAL FAGGOT! Then you can finally equip the Studded Leather Vans Belt of +5 Angst that you found in the ditch where you secretly try to smoke cigarettes.
>>15384494
For budget gear, everyone seems to default to HJC. The two things that you should always test fit before you buy are boots and helmets though. A helmet that doesn't fit right is both uncomfortable and dangerous.
Luckily, I have a fucking enormous skull, so I got an XL Shoei RF-1100 on clearance.

Somebody on craigslist is selling a KZ750 for $700
What's the most likely problem with it? Says it needs a petcock and battery, but it makes me wonder why he hasn't replaced them himself.
https://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/mcy/5652170971.html
>>15384642
You mean besides the fact it looks like a price of rusted shit?
>>15384491
>The Blackbird is the bike that started the speed wars
not really, that goes further back to the ZZR1100 and gsx-r1100
>>15384671
This.
The blackbird may have started the speed wars in the eyes of an underage millennial.
And before the Kwakka, there was the 4 valve Suzukis (that went on to power the GSX-R you mentioned), and before that were the 2 valve "Kwak Nines and Thous" that were so far ahead of anything else at the time.
>>15384671
Yeah, my buddy had a model-c ZX11 (which is a ZZ-R 1100 in the rest of the world) and it scares the pants off of me back when it was new. I remember doing 60mph in first gear.

Hi all, egregious nephewposter here. I'm going vegan and I'm wondering if leather substitutes have come far enough that there's a decent synthetic race suit out? Motoport seem to still be the only option. It's not an immediate need as I'll be wearing my stuff til it wears out (Gotta kill market demand, not waste stuff that's already dead and paid for)
>>15384875
Thanks man
>>15384880
Vegans don't exist.
>>15384880
the cow is already dead, why let it waste away on a warehouse shelf?
>>15384886
If I got it second hand or for free I could probably justify it, but I'd rather support demand for cruelty-free alternatives, hopefully stimulating demand and making this search easier for other people.
>>15384880
Stop eating all the animals food. They need to eat too.
>>15384899
But Anon, don't you know that vegans eat grass and dreams?
>>15384897
Meant to say stimulating supply here.
>>15384881
>metric bike
>under American flag
Couldn't make it up.
>>15384897
vegan stuff aside, there's a reason leather is the #1 choice for protection. synthetics, textiles, and kevlar don't come close to the level of safety real leather provides, plus you can rest assured that the cow died painlessly and its body didn't go to waste. it's not like it's only being used for leather and left to rot
>>15384642
This guy again. I'm asking because I'm looking at a beginner bike and craigslist is usually my best bet for finding a beater.
There's a 08 250cc Honda Rebel for $900, as well as an 82 KZ440 for $1000
Are either of these safe bets, or am I going to be cursing myself wishing I bought something better within a month? Thanks for all the help in advanced, I have no idea what to be looking for in bikes yet.
Honda - https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/mcy/5667222095.html
Kawasaki - https://tampa.craigslist.org/hdo/mcy/5624863864.html
>>15384915
Hey, I totally agree. My current gear is leather and the textile stuff I've tried has been nothing in comparison. I was just wondering if synthetics have come far enough to be on par yet - you're saying they haven't, and that's fine.
>>15384910
Pardon me while I don't care
>>15384917
best bet is that rebel. see if you can get an invoice for the service performed last year, though. lots of people say that, although the Kawi looks like a good deal too. do you have any friends that ride that could go with you to check the bikes out?
>>15384921
yeah, sorry, i did get a bit off track. to answer your question...
no.

Why don't you just pick your favourite water cooled dohc 4cyl, post it and fuck off

Someone say indian?!?!?
>>15384973
Literally every single thing on the bike is metric you ignorant shitbird nobike
>>15384978
So you have one I take it?
>>15384976
I think they said 'indian' on account of that europile not being an Indian.
>>15384984
Word. I've been drinking too much to be comprehending sentences yo
>>15384982
How do you have the largest database of human knowledge at your fingertips since Alexandria burned, shitloads of time that you don't spend riding the motorcycle you don't have, and yet can't type 'indian metric bike' into Google?
>>15384995
Ok nobike.
>>15384978
>111ci
>metric
Serious question, do you suffer a lack of oxygen supply to your brain? Or are you a literal shitlord?
>>15384998
Unlike you, I can name the one, single non-metric fastener on that entire slow motorcycle. That's less non metric parts than an 80s jap bike. It is a metric bike.
post your dream bikes
>>15385004
Not him, but it goes 140mph. Good enough for me
>>15385004
Ok, I'll humour you and go by your arbitrary definition of a metric bike for a moment. How then is that definition of "metric bike" relevant to an all American motorcycle sitting under an American flag shitlord?
>>15385017
Even my indian helmet is made in China. Idc
>>15384933
>yeah but he's different!

Without any kind of condescension, a huge number of people will say to start out on a smaller motorcycle. There are a lot of very good, reasonably inexpensive bikes that are way more forgiving than a supersport. If he's never ridden a motorcycle before and he's 15, putting him on an inline 4 supersport is a bad idea, no matter how respectful or careful he is with the throttle. You get into situations that make you panic whether you think you will or not, and someone with no skill will not always have the ability to react. This goes quadruply so because he's not even old enough to drive. I'm not being a dick, I'm not trying to show that I know better or say you're a bad person or any of that shit. There are a lot of grown men who either can't handle these machines, or aren't mature enough to use their power without hurting themselves. You can have a fucking lot of fun on a 300cc motorcycle either way.
No matter what you end up doing, at least pay for him to take an MSF course. It's boring and stupid and gay, but it might save his ass. Sorry for lashing out.
>>15385043
Kek, the bike'a not though. Even if they're no longer made in Springfield, they're still as American as it gets.
10/10. Would park happily alongside my all British, Hinkley manufactured Triumph.
>>15385072
They're still made I springfield though homie. That's why they named their new bike the springfield. It's a nice bike if you're in the bagger scene
Anyone else blow shit up tonight?
