dirt bikes are for kids
what did he mean by this?
Hey /dbt/, /nobike/r here.
I've been flirting with the idea of getting a bike for a while, but while I like the idea of it, I haven't ever been on top of one, so I'm afraid I won't like it as much as I hope. None of my friends really ride, so I can't really ask them to take me. Anyway I can try riding bitch to see the feel?
Also, being yuropoor, and haveing turned 22 a few months ago, I would be restricted to 35kw for 2 years minimum. Should I wait until I'm 24 and just take the unrestricted license?
that was entertaining
Any other chronic shortshifters here? I don't think I ever use my top 2k RPM.
if you can ride a bike you can ride a motorcycle
Yes
...
nope, get riding now.
Get a dirtbike and you'll be laughing under the 35 kw restriction.
2 years of riding at low power > 2 years of doing shit all.
Then when you get off the power limits you'll have skills, and skills > HP every day of the week.
wouldn't wave/10
he warned you dude
he told you the front wheel would be up and dropping panties
thanks user
I'll try setting things in motion. I'll post my first fall here
Goddamn I want a big bore two stroke, there's a street legel KTM 380 for sale near me that is so tempting.
you can see the back of someone's helmet before they ride by you?
Yes, but in case I come up from behind him, I wouldn't
There are people browsing right now that own a R3
so what's the problem?
found the bus rider
Nothing wrong with an R3 if you don't mind going slow.

Why do I want this so bad?
RAIDER OR BOLT

we out heah
Neither cruiserloser
Do you really want to know? Or are you just a troll? Because I'll be glad to explain my position. I'll warn you, it's a very inconvenient pill to swallow.

Either talk or stfu, nobody is threatened by your opinion
mother fucking cunt
my mikuni carb side cover shit on the xt225 broke. guess it happened sometime after the last time i pulled the jets out to clean.
>$30 to replace for a piece of plastic on a bike i literally don't want anymore
end it now
you're the one trolling or rather insinuating your extravagant opinion on a Panamanian water polo discussion forum
How do i get more fast out of a v twin? I have exhaust, better carbs? Need the fast quickly please.
0/10 would not join.
carb, cams, hi compression piston
you scared bitch?
Put in bigger v-twin man. Maybe turbo, you know.
no. They're too slow for me and I wouldn't want to ride with them because they would hold me back
A vtwin will never reach the power output of a high revving i4. Sell the hardly and get a real bike old man.
why do i always get rekt by cars on the touge
Thank you for the serious response.
Ill definitely go turbo after forged intenals and all that.
Fuck you i like vibrating.
KEK i have that shit bike
you are kill
because you suck at riding
Cause you lost you're git gud
This exact same situation happened to me minus the drug addict part
Is there any bike that even begins to compare to the original Concours, besides her younger sister?
If you're going turbo then get a lower compression piston instead of higher. You don't want your shit blowing up do you?
>tfw no 180hp turbo-buell
so is Bakuon!! like good, or what?

Gud shitbike?
it's alright
Everytime I see this ad it brings a smile to my face, that dude speaks absolute truth in that ad
not if you need it to be street legal in wisconsin
>killwaukee
stay safe user
sure looks shitbike enough
try and talk him down
I know that much, im used to modding cars. Just recently gained interest in bikes.
then ill check it out
Not in Wisconsin, just close enough it shows up on CL.
Its mostly the same dude, just less cylinders.

Squad goals af
Looks like a big ninja 250
>squid goals af
Ftfy
It's a 1000cc Ninja engine that has slightly smaller carbs and is detuned, with shaft drive and full fairings. Ran from 86-06 with only minor aesthetic changes.
They're the GOAT bike.
Sounds perfect except for the carbs.
>he can't handle carbs
Efi is better in every way.
You don't understand how incredible and reliable the bike is. The carbs are a small price to pay for an otherwise glorious bike that is both comfortable and very fast. Worst part is the aesthetic, but even that grows on you as you learn to love Connie.

>I only ride anime bikes because I hit the trax daily!
>connie
You dont understand how much i hate carbs.
Although as far as aesthetic goes, it doesnt look bad. Looks comfy af.
No. Cringefest
I was *this* close to buying a moped but then I realized how fucking gay that is
What's a good first motorcycle, it doesn't have to be super expensive
oh
So I found out that the mystery switch under the new GSXR I bought is a TRE mod. Apparently it makes gears 1-3 more torquey or some shit. Anyone have experience with these?
Also, the switch flips two ways and has a neutral position. Which way is off? And what does the middle/neutral position do?
>if it's not a cruiser it's Japanese
>European bikes don't exist
I'm sorry you're so uneducated, but I suppose I should expect as much from a cruiserloser
Ninja 250
> You dont understand how much i hate carbs.
Man, that sucks. The bikes are so solid. I went from a cbr f4i to this, and I regret nothing. Dealing with the carbs is totally worth everything else.
cb500
tu250

nigga there's a fuckton. try getting on all styles to see what riding style & posture you're in to
Ninja 250.
you like cruisers?
Ninja 250
More of an adventure bike kinda guy? Ninja 250.
Don't like the ninja 250?
>Ninja 250
There are lots of alternatives like the
Ninja 250 however,
They are less often recommended.

>they are illegal on Baltimore streets
>shows picture of XR650L
ninja 500 desu
250 is slow and 500 has that extra oomph when you want it
Why do blacks ride ATVs in urban areas?
Ninja 500 is literally a joke.
Get a 250 or a 600. Do NOT consider a 500.
i guess theyre cheaper than a car, but can somehow serve the same function
Yes have one on my vstrom, works well for power whoolies
leave 500 alone
who fucking knows. but its like this everywhere in any nondescript hood in the country
I don't know how people who don't do trackdays even like bikes.
bikes are boring on public roads.
though I guess you're all poorfags who think running your 10th hand dualsport around a 30 mph curve is fun.
GS500. Just as shit as the EX500 without the worry of all that extra water cooling.
Question, where the fuck do I find Yamalube Molybdenum Disulfide grease in Edmonton, AB? Or another moly grease/paste with high content?
tbqh I don't like the look of these "modern" bikes
I want something that's comfy and maybe understated but still slightly sleek
the tu250 looks pretty nice, thanks
Previous experience with carbs left a bad taste in my mouth. This is exactly the kinda bike im looking for honestly. Ill have to see if i can find one for a test ride. If its glorious, i can deal with carbs.
>250 is slow
faster than that non existent bike of yours
opinions on duke 390/rc390?
i need a beginnerish bike, not something as slow as the 250's i rode in my basic safety course but still not something bridging 70+ horsepower
30-40 horsepower seems to be my "power range" i'm shooting for
was also looking at dual sports like drz400sm
Rebel 250 best beginner
Prove me wrong
