I dont have money. Bikes are cool tho, would rather settle for any bike than auto
>>24769377
I don't want to get run off the road by some fat middle aged women texting while driving.
Whats a good bike to start off with?
>>24769377
Because I got hit by a drunk driver back in October 2013. He had no headlights on they T-boned me.
>>24769601
How much did you get from insurance?
>>24769377
Everyone here's a fucking NEET you dumbass. How the hell are they going to buy a motorcycle.
because i like doors, seatbelts and metal crush bars
Eternally winter here. Motorcycles and freezing cold don't mix well
>>24769486
something small that wont kill you. ninja 250 or honda rebel are good places to start

Extremely valid point. I'm sure a lot here would want it, but we're all poor as hell.
>>24769868
motorcycles are cheaper than cars
>>24769892
They still cost a lot of money. Aswell as getting a license for it.
>>24769669
They covered all of my costs, medical bills and I got about 70k because I decided to take them to the cleaners.
>>24769377
I remember this pasta.
Motorcycle guy is pretty cool.
Everytime I show people my motorcycle their interest peaks and they ask a lot of questions, its pretty cool
anyways its winter. Not like "its winter, I have to wear a long sleeve" more like "its winter, time to shovel 10 feet of snow and be miserable for 3 months"
fuckin love to ride, best feeling ever
>>24769377

Depends how fat. There's a lot of chubs on motorcycles, I think the weight even helps.

Because I got hit by a u-turning chav in a Mercedes this September.
I hit a traffic sign with my stomach afterwards; digestive system collapsed, ruptured spleen and left kidney, traumatic hernia, few fractured ribs and right ankle. Doctor said that being a fat pig kept my guts inside. I even posted a picture of my stitched belly in /r9k/ not so long ago. Got called a "horror-grade villain".
>>24771947
Fuck man I don't even ride a bike but that sounds horrible. Sorry to hear that, really wish some dickheads would be more careful on the roads.
Mind posting that pic again?
Hearing stories like this helps to prevent me buying a bike instead of a carwhen I learn to drive
>>24769486
Ninja 300
CBR300R

>>24769846
dont buy a rebel theyre gay
>>24772028
What's a good standard starter?
>>24772063
Ninja 250-300 is what many beginners go with. I'd recommend the 300 because it has just enough balls to not feel like a scooter.
>>24772063
A rebel.
He's probably one of those faggots who only touches crotch rockets.
>>24772063
Ninja 250 gets recommended by everyone, as long as you're not above 6"0' it'll be comfortable and as long as you're less than 190-200lb it should still perform really well.
Another thing I've seen recommended if you're bigger is the GS500f, most do 250 though.
>>24771992
Sure, here you go. Don't get discouraged though. I am a fulltime robot/cyborg and riding itself is really great to calm your mind and helps me to wash away the depressions for a while. I'm definitely coming back once I get healed.inb4fatshitbag
>>24772098
A Rebel 250 is literally a scooter. It looks and feels stupid as fuck riding around a cruiser that sounds like a minibike and can barely reach highway speed.
>>24772187
Fuck
How/how will the accident affect you long term? Is your digestive system going to be repaired?
Surprised you're not dead with all that and the ruptured spleen and left kidney, christ.
Wait for another decade before having an accident like that and you can come back as a literal cyborg.
>>24772187
Well at least you got a tan
>>24771083
literally white trash, the car
I own one, but i really only use it since im broke and don't need insurance, and that god like gas mileage.
Though i've almost been hit twice since the 6 months i got it. If i die oh well though, nothing of value was lost.
Because I like my skin
Because I like to listen to the radio (clearly)
Because I like to sit down and not straddle
Because I like AC/heater
Because I like talking to my passengers
Because I like not dying if accidentally hit somebody
I think I'm in love with this thing.
Also there was another Urban cruiser bike but I couldn't remember what it was called, I think it was Hog something or WartHog.
>>24772235
My digestive system got fixed actualy. It's been two months since I got released from the hospital to home treatment but so far so good. I can shit normally. But the other possible outcome was getting some sort of port, with hose connected to it, so the shit can flow to the bag strapped to your waist. I don't know how I would be able getting over that if it would happen.
>>24772245
Nah, just different light conditions. My belly bag is still sickly white.
>>24772306
I had a chance to test drive this and dude, that's some castrated Harley on your pic.
>>24772394
Those things are disgusting. When I was a teenager a mate introduced me to a guy he knew and he had a bag on his waist he never let away from him, asked my mate what it was about and apparently some Chinese stabbed him in the asshole for some reason so deep it fucked his colon, hence the bag.
Familiarize yourself with your state's lemon laws before buying any vehicle.
If you live in Illinois and your new bike is a huge titanic piece of shit that defies any attempt at repair under warranty, you're pretty much up shit creek.
There's no recourse.
>>24769486
Suzuki GS500 if you can find one used from a second hand source.
If you're short, or not very strong, or you don't want to risk buying second hand, you could go for the Suzuki TU250X.
Suzukis are great bikes.
Stay the fuck away from anything made in India or mainland China.
>>24772438
A colleague of my friend got this bag because of some cancer. His cancer got cured but the bag was permanent. He commited suicide by jumping into the train's way.
>>24772427
Well is there any other bike with the same look?
That's exactly the look i want
>>24772668
Yeah but they're all expensive as fuck.
>>24772668
If you really like it, get it then. It will be you riding, not me. But note it's coming from the guy who's riding naked crotchrockets for the most time (because I like both the look and the performance). But to be quite honest, that H-D is really boring. It even lacks some signature torque, and has electronic limiters everywhere (it has speed limits for each gear) which surprised me most. I hoped for some fabled torque and bad-ass potato chug sound but all I got was a sterile scooter dressed as a Harley with manual gearbox.
I'm no expert at Harleys but you can't go wrong with higher cubatures, actualy I'd say the more the better.
I'm going to sleep, it's 3:45am (europoorman here). I'm sure some Harley enthausiast will help you better.
>>24772858
>sterile scooter
generally every cruiser/chopper under 1000cc is a sterile scooter.
>>24769846
>something small that wont kill you
I would actually say the opposite. Start with around a 500cc - 600cc basic model and avoid the sporty ones. I started on a 600cc to get my license and it feels pretty natural. I'd say those sporty 250 - 300cc models are much more dangerous because they are much lighter and much more unwieldy with their relatively tiny wheels. Once you start catching gusts of wind from the side on a 250cc you'll be going all over the place.
Something like pic related ( Honda CB600F ) will last you and is one of the most safe and reliable motorcycles. You can get the older models relatively cheap.
>>24769892
>motorcycles are cheaper than cars
No, they really aren't. Maybe the initial purchase but an old Honda Accord is just as cheap as an old Honda CBR600 and then there's all the other costs. Even when I don't do trackdays I still have to buy a set of tires every other month and do an oil change which comes to $300. The gas mileage really isn't that much better if you have a decently fast bike. My car(Jetta TDI) gets better gas mileage than my GSXR track bike and my Z1000 daily. My car also doesn't require as much maintenance and do I need to mention tires again? If you live in BFE and only ride on straight boring ass roads and never go to the racetrack than maybe motorcycles are cheaper than cars. I've seen many motorcyclists list the cost of riding compared to their cars and riding is always more expensive. I personally would save $600-$1,200 a month if I stopped riding. But then again I actually do ride and am not some poseur from Nebraska that makes the same stupid thread every other week.
>>24769486
honda cbr1000 my man
>>24769377
Because it's really not safe to drive one in the winter where I live.

Think before speaking, you silly cunt. I've had 2 Pilot road 4's that have slammed more then 20 thousand kilometers on my bike. A bike that is also abused on the street constantly and ridden on twisties almost 4-5 times a week.
The only thing people have to watch our for (which heavily depends on country) is the following;
>Service
>Oil
>Insurance
I like to change my oil every 3 thousand kilometers on the track, and change it every 5-6thousand kilometers when on the road. The other thing is servicing if you cant do it yourself.
But even then it's relatively cheap, even valve adjustments don't cost that much as long as it isn't some Italian bike.
>>24774448
Also my current Pilot road 4's, 10 thousand kilometers.
All road use.
Cagefags don't understand, Yes bikes are dangerous as fuck, but riding is a high like I've never experianced.
>>24771083
Your car is literally a pile of shit.
>>24771083
You're either Mexican or a white teenager aren't you?
>>24774469
Explaining to someone what it's like to ride, is the equivalent of trying to explain to a blind man what it's like to see. Just cant put it to words.
One has to experience it themselves.
>>24773476
>buy a set of tires every other month
What the fuck.
>>24769427
Motorcycles are significantly cheaper than cars. I would get one but I live in the Puget Sound area so there's too much rain for it to be practical.
>>24774674
He either doesn't ride, or rides on the track 9Which i doubt). Even then my track tires last 2-3 sessions at max.
My road tires are as i mentioned here; >>24774465
He probably cant ride for shit and has horrible throttle control in corners. And eats up the tires. Only thing i can come up with.

Yes, buy a super-sport with no prior experience. Surely it will end well.
>>24774934
>I literally drive a Porsche

shut up, faggot. I bet you drive a shitty 944, boxster or cayman. pussy ass nigga.
>>24774964
To be fair I bought the Porsche with no prior sport car expierence and I can practically fly in that thing with no problems. I'm sure I'll be alright with that bike
>>24775076
>shut up, faggot. I bet you drive a shitty 944, boxster or cayman. pussy ass nigga.
>>24775092
Bikes and cars are completely different, you don't turn a bike like you turn that steering-wheel. Throttle on super-sport bikes are also very fragile. Don't lean enough or chicken-out and accidentally give it throttle and you'll end up in a tree.
But you are probably trolling, enjoy your single turbo car.
>>24775076
>Implying a cayman S is shitty
There's no need to be upset friend. I just wanna talk about bikes with you guys.

I'm not trying to show off. What's most likely gonna happen is I'm gonna buy it and shit my pants for the first month or two while riding and then I'll get comfortable and the rest will be cake from there
Not a fan of motorcyclists, desu. Think of the douchiest car you can and how they're always zipping through traffic doing dangerous shit on the road; that's 90% of bikers here. Lane splitting at 90 through a traffic jam is a great way to introduce trauma to my kid as he sees your head separate from your body because you can't drive like you're not the only person on the road, not to mention the damage to my vehicle when you're slamming into the back of it because I'm changing lanes and you think you have the right of way always when you're doing the aforementioned lane splitting.
I know insurance should cover the cost, but it won't cover the impact on my time and my kid's sanity. Not many people in this state can drive for shit anyhow, so I guess I don't hate bikers much more than everybody else on the road.
>>24775399
>for the first month or two while riding and then I'll get comfortable and the rest will be cake from there
That's the most dangerous part.
>>24775435
I don't expect anybody to brlieve me when I say this but the past three years of my life has been nothing but dangerous life threating shenanigans. I super sport bike isn't gonna hurt me at this point.
>>24772063
Ignore those people recommended a 250-300. Once you're on the highway, you're going to be fucked. Move up to a 500.
>>24773476
What sort of spastic would use a sport bike as a daily. Just get a cb400 or something. My cbs tires last 7000km at least. Service is like $300 every 6000km. considering my daily commute is 60km round trip fuel only cost me $30 a week. That's FAR cheaper then any car I've ever had
>>24775773
This. I have a 2014 MT-07 and tires last about 5000km and fuel is about $50 a week and service is every 6000km with a major one every 12000km and the major one cost $500. considering how much money I save riding the bike I've managed to save up about 15k over the year even after buying heaps of weeb shit
>>24775664
my 2013 ninja 300 does 180kmh. that's plenty fast for the highway
>>24775929
That's not what he means, you dumb cunt. The wind would be blowing you around quite a bit, not to mention just to keep to the limit the engine on a 200-300 is beating it's heart out.
>buying a car based off anything but gas consumption and safety
>>24775953
the fuck?. I ride the highway all the time and never have any issues. I'm 70kg and sit on about 120kmh no problems at all bikes at about 6k rpm and it reves out at 13k. Only people that would have issues are fat people but that would be with anybike
>>24776021
>and safety

>>24776027
I've ridden a 300 multiple times, why are you making bullshit up? 300 doesn't even have that much room to over-take on the high-way depending on the speed limit.
That bike also does not sit at 6k RPM at 120km/h, you dumb cunt.
>>24776057
LOL how fat are you?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxHPdIw6HI4
>>24776142
What are you trying to prove exactly? How slow the 300 is to crawl up to it's baby tier speed with it's speedo off by 5%?
At 120 you are looking at 8k at 6th gear, you dumb cunt.
>>24776173
You got proven wrong and now your upset. And it's clear your obese or rode a bike with non standard sprockets. But get all upset it's more fun
