First for now no other cunt can be first.

What do you stupid freckle faced fucks think about the Hayabusa? Is it worth it? Are they fun?
honda a shit lmao
If they aren't molested like that one has been and you are over 6ft tall yes they are great bikes.
are camo riding pants a meme?
yes unless you ride an adventure bike
Why do you have to be over six feet tall? Thay don't look that big? It's not a big ass enduro. I guarantee my bikes way taller than a Hayabusa and my buddy fits on it just fine. He's 5'6.
does this count?
>implying I care
>implying I'm not a meme anyways
because its a 220kg bike designed for people who are over 6ft tall.
compared to any litre bike it will seem like a pigfat shit and you will be stretching to reach the handlebars if you are a manlet.
>implying I'm not a meme anyways
then why are you asking
so I can know if that makes me more of a meme or nah
Yamaha got the Mt-07 (and 03), Kawa got the ER6-N, Suzki got the Gladius.
All proper, budget friendly, first time & easy going bikes. Good for young people with not a lot of money that want a modern bike that is cheap, but doesn't look or feel cheap.
Where the fuck is Honda?
Is this the universal face of tt600 riders?
I'm 6'4 so I do t think that's a problem and like I said it's not a big ass enduro. I highly doubt you need to be over 6'0 to ride one comfortably.
...
this?
Gross.
Cycle ergos reckon it isn't a huge amount more bent over for me than my 600.
yeah that's the whole point of those kind of bikes
Probably lots of fun but very ugly if you ask me
cb400sf/cb500f/cb650f
I love how retarded /dbt/ is
you could be bothered making a collage of bikes but couldn't be bothered googling what bikes honda actually has.
unobtainable & dated
shit
shit
how is a cb500 shittier than an er6
I really want a Su-Four like Hane. How easy is this in the UK?
honda
have you ever ridden a CB500?
the CBR650's are great the CB500 is a fucking pile that weighs a ton and has the most boring engine ever placed in a motorcycle (I shit you not redline is under 8k)
The stock pegs on it are hilariously low too, I scraped it IMMEDIATELY AND VIOLENTLY doing a 90 degree turnoff at an intersection.
to be fair the unobtainable & dated bike is better than the cb500.
i heard this is the thread where the fags are
yeh
I tell this to every new rider I ever meet. Buy a dirt cheap ass used gs500 or klr650 preferably the klr because off roading on a motorcycle is literally the tits and both bikes have more than enough power for a beginner rider.
whats it like starting to ride motorcycles as an adult?
i imagine its intimidating
...
It's the same as when you were a new rider except you're not a noodle armed Mickey Mouse cunt fuck who doesn't know how to properly ride a bike but that's not always the case.
Unless you're talking about the four cylinder one from the 70s you're plain wrong
Redline is 10k or 10.5.
Your body position must be shit if you are such a retard that you 'violently' scrape the pegs rounding a corner.
it's fucking fun
as a child you're ecstatic to ride a bicycle so you don't really feel the joy, but as an adult, oh boy
post your bike
yeah but i was 4 when i learned how to ride, i think 6 when i got my first bike with a clutch so its always been kinda natural for me, im kinda jealous because going through all those learning stages and actually remembering them would be neat, pretty much what said
Why doesn't Honda make the best most reliable long lasting sport/crusing motorcycle ever to bless the earth and design a motorcycle around one of these bad boys?
>previous owner needed a new rear every 15k km
>mfw I need one every 7k km
what's that, looks like a heavy bastard
They already did.
And it's a v4
I've helped move one of these motors and they're not heavy by any means.
No user, I'm talking about the k20 motor specifically.
my pp3 is at about 7000km, is normal for softer tyres
>Redline is 10k or 10.5.
ok
>2015 CB500F Horsepower Rating: 49.6 HP at 8,500 RPM
>Your body position must be shit if you are such a retard that you 'violently' scrape the pegs rounding a corner.
here you go, feel free to critique it to your hearts content, won't change the fact the bike comes with very little clearance and would require aftermarket rearsets if you want to go around corners.
I know /dbt/ are body position experts so this will be fun.
>8k rpm
>vtec
let's just leave it where it is user
Imagine how easy it would be to mod the motor with all the aftermarket parts available for these and no worring about valve adjustment bullshit and the parts would be hilariously cheap compared to most motorcycle parts.
>500cc twin
>10k redline
You wish
crossed up, your head should be closer to the mirror
8k isn't a big deal when you got 200hp user. Even in a car it's pretty quick.
So it makes its peak power above the redline?
> says cb500, means cb500f
Retard confirmed.
if I go further out it'll actually be getting further away from the mirror tho
well we were discussing the cb400sf, cb500f and cb650f.
but why would you want an i4 without the joy of revving it to the moon
This is a bone stock k20.
24y/o here, aside from a couple months ago riding a friend's bike around the block, I just finished my msf course over the weekend.
It was only intimidating until I realized it's like riding a bicycle and finally stopped overthinking things. I'm sure it's much more intimidating for those who've never driven/aren't comfortable with manual cars though.
fuck off street rossi, keep it on a track
i tried leaning off my bike by holding onto the other side with one leg and reddit scraping along the ground, felt like a bit of a spanner but i also felt like i was really fast while doing 30km/h slower than i normally would through corners
Sorry forgot link
m.youtube.com
read the comment chain you were replying to
Do you see how it both says CB500f and has an image of one?
then again, don't trust me.
I'm just a "retard" with bad body position after all.
so its like i thought then, understand how the clutch works and all is well, i do still remember when i was a kid and learned that you just let the clutch out slowly and smoothly and i felt so good i just did that until i was out of fuel lol
>reddit
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I got my first 50cc bike at 16. God must have had something really special in store for me because I crashed that thing so damn much.
Made it go fast, did 95km/h opposed to the standard 45. And it was wide open throttle always.
I feel like that's the worst age to start riding. You're not young enough to hold the machine in regard because your parents said so, nor old enough to fully grasp why you should do so on your own accord.
Started again at 24 (this year), so far a wholly different experience. Much more leisurely and calculated.
> HURR DURR DURR I'M A RETARD
see picture
In you literally said CB500 several times.
>comes up with a bike produced over a decade ago that no one is talking about
>calls others retarded
You can easily get over 200k on one of these motors with horrible maintenance and consistently being on the throttle.
I SMIDSY'd a hi-vis uncle on his big adventure bike to day when I change lanes in my truck. Proper truck too, not a fucking ute.
Funny shit. Stupid cunt shouldn't have been doing 150+
that crash into the side of a truck seems to have done more damage than we thought lads.
well sorry. would you think we are talking about a 1970's cb400 if we didnt add the sf?
No one cares about your shitbike
> no one is talking about
> they're literally calling a bike by the name of another
> somehow I'm the retard
Hey wanna buy a brand new GSX1000R?
> it's a GS 500
> lol whatever nerd it's only a name llol get over yourself
What if i call it an RMz1000? would you be triggered?
Havin' an autistic tantrum there, m8?
...
...
Then you take into account it wouldn't be hauling a three thousand pound car around but a light ass motorcycle. These things would last forever.
just admit you're wrong for jumping to conclusions without reading the discussion user, it's not shameful
at least not more than this autistic refusal you're babbling out
...
Your body position must be shit if you are such a retard that you 'violently' scrape the truck rounding a corner
...
> I'm an autist and jumping to conclusions when I assume you're talking about the bike you're specifically naming
> I only had water and cabbage for lunch, why am I getting fat mr. doctor man?
> uh yeah, I meant pizza and coke obviously, duuurrrrr wat r u dum?
That's indeed what happened, yes. Unlike you I don't blame my mistakes on the bike, however. And if I did, I'd make sure to name it correctly in order to not call a completely different bike crap.
...
I like to imagine he is foaming at the mouth when he starts posting gs500's
...
come on it's time to pull the "I was only pretending to be retarded" card, this is getting boring
...
Not even me, look at the post times.
Where are you from, friend? Just curious.
Truth is it would be too good of a bike
>minimal maintenance
Less money for the Honda dealerships
>extremely long lifespan
Wouldn't sell enough bikes every year
>A lot of power
Owners wouldn't get bored of the bike and therefore wouldn't want to sell them and buy another.
>Easy to work on and dirt cheap parts
Once agin, less money for Honda dealerships
Etc, this new sport touring bike would immediately be the best one on the market but they'd loose way too much money in the long run.
oh I don't mind, I'm just reveling in the knowledge that a guy who rode into the side of a truck has bothered to suggest anyone else might have poor body position.
It's the most /dbt/ thing that has ever occurred.
Everyone's an expert, nobody is able to back up anything they're fucking saying.
...
...
I've been driving manual since I learned to drive so the actual shifting/clutch shit wasn't a problem whatsoever for me, aside from building the muscle memory of where everything is at.
My biggest problem/intimidation factor so to speak was overthinking everything and mentally getting caught up in the process of doing it, rather than just outright doing it like I know how to on a bicycle. Once that clicked it was smooth sailing
...
This, if worst came to worst and you somehow magically blew one of these motors you could literally replace the entire thing for around 2k and be set for another 20 years.
>ot even me, look at the post times.
Its easy to post on your phone and use lap top to post your best bike
Knowing what good BP is / knowing the results of bad BP and having it are two different things.
It's like how you know what not-shitposting is, but you can't not shitpost.
Also
> people's knowledge and abilities don't change in a year
yeah with bikes like everything its all about trusting your brain to do the right thing if you want to do well because thinking about it will only fuck you up, thats where things like target fixation come from
Victorian cunce and their false flags.
