>why a new bike I'll be able to afford it, more or less, and most ~10yo bikes don't really save me that much, a lot of VT250s from '06 are still $4k or more for example so I might as well pitch in the extra grand for a brand new bike and warranty.
I might change my mind if I take a look around a dealer when I get close or if a particularly good deal comes up though I guess, I'm a bit worried about getting screwed, if I wanted to get fucked I'd just give Squidbro a lift home.

Daily reminder there are people that actually bought a R3 or FZ-10
Evan Foster
So lads, I'll ask this again.
For my first big license bike, I'm right now looking at Yamaha FZ6 (Fazer), and at Suzuki SV650, 2nd gen.
Which bike will be the better allrounder for A) City commuting, B)Weekend Touge racing and C) Maybe some weeklong camping trips.
Any opinions from you guys, or other options I might have not considered yet?
Lincoln Powell
>niggabusa, niggabusa'd totally
Colton Gutierrez
I mean he was trying, but clearly not that hard. Scam life I guess
Gabriel Fisher
SV would probably be the best all around but the FZ would be better onnatouge/sanic speeds
Austin Wilson
a)sv b)fz6 c)don't know, but aftermarket on the sv would probably be best and easiest
Camden Anderson
Lol, it's not even close. SV all the way
Nathaniel Moore
Get a Superduke
Jayden Anderson
He's selling to other busa squids. If he was one of the few legit busa riders, he wouldn't have modded it like that
Landon Martinez
2017 sv650 is sexy as fuck with its vtwin 2016 fz06 looks pretty good too but the controls feel cheap to me
I test rode both of them because im also deciding between the two but im going with 2017 sv650 because vtwin
Jaxon Hall
Could I possible try carrying a cello on my back while riding or is that a complete death wish?
It's worth £3000 as well and the bow is worth £1000 so if I go down in a crash, even low speed, it will get completely destroyed.
Its actually not heavy, just quite big.
Jace Young
>in the end it doesn't really matter mfw
Nolan Collins
What is a "legit" busa rider? Does anyone actually use them for touring? Sport touring bikes always caught me as somewhat strange.
Kevin Hughes
you certainly can, i wouldn't recommend freeways though
Dylan Davis
The ad states it isn't modded, yet he posts a horrifically modded example for a price far far below market value. That's not legit family
Camden Thompson
Yeah I won't be going anywhere above 40mph along the route I take. Most of the time it will be 30mph.
Sebastian Brown
the FZ6 is significantly faster than the SV (20 more HP) and inline 4 smoothness is a lovely thing to have.
If you're not planning on getting the SV version with the clip ons and fairings then yeah just get the FZ6 I'd say
Kayden Miller
Sport touring bikes are for people who fully load their bikes on a trip and use it as a tour bike, then unload their shit at the camping and then run the toogays.
Jason Williams
or people who enjoy having a comfy bike that is also pretty damn quick
Asher Price
Sanic speeds would be really cool, I mean I have the autobahn, but just having sufficient acceleration to nick slow cagers on back roads would be completely okay for me
As far as I have read, the SV has a good pull from low revs, but lacks a lot once it goes past 7000 rpms. Also, from what I've heard via youtube videos, the Yamaha just sounds so dam filthy and sexy, the SV can't beat that F1 sound.
And, supposedly, the FZ6 has the better riding position as an allrounder.
I'm honestly not looking at new bikes, my budget is more along the lines of 2500 to 3000 €
The duke is a great bike, but again, it's a tad expensive for me, only if I buy an early 2000s Duke with the single cylinder kek
Luis James
It's a scam. I bet if you email him you'll get some shit about being in the army and needing to ship it and wire me money.
You can probably find that picture on google.
Josiah Rodriguez
I met two last bike week who toured on busas for a while. A dad and his daughter, basically rode all their lives. Nonstop banter the whole time we were demoing >I'm trying not to die on a 750 gixer while they glide by on their bike >user why can't you keep up with us?
Noah Hernandez
The FZ-10 looks cool
Chase Wood
That's kinda what my bike is. It's comfy as fuck, but surprisingly quick for it's size.
Leo Ross
>the FZ6 is significantly faster than the SV (20 more HP) and inline 4 smoothness is a lovely thing to have. yeah, that's what I've gathered as well, but I don't know if it's so economically and socially viable to always rev the bike to 10.000 rpm to get off a red light in a swift manner.
>If you're not planning on getting the SV version with the clip ons and fairings that's the S version, right. I didn't have the privilege to sit on either bike yet, but from cycle ergo, the Naked SV and the Fazer are a lot more upright.
Unfortunately, the faired SV650 seems to be the most sold bike in my area, so that's kinda bad

I'm british actually.
the limit is 30, I don't want to go above that.
Gabriel King
>go with the flow >speed >get singled out by a cop running a speed trap >get a ticket >insurance goes up >less money for baiku >less likely to even be able to purchase insurance for another future bike
Its not worth it.
Brayden Collins
well you can see there on the dyno chart the FZ6 is offset to the sv650 by about 1,000 RPM, the SV makes 40 hp at about 5.5k, the FZ6 makes it at 6.5k so it won't be nearly as 'highly strung" and people are going to meme to you about I4s.
I love my SV650 but that doesn't mean I have to hate I4s, they're great, that's why they're ubiquitous
Joshua Gutierrez
just went all the way to the shops and forgot to strap my helmet.
wew.
Hunter Clark
explain how an inline 4 being smoother than a v-twin is retarded? because I know my SV lugs at RPMS you can pull cleanly from with an I4.
Juan Reed
you can also get a ticket for impeding traffic even if the flow is faster than the speed limit.
Matthew Murphy
I mean I'm completely familiar with slugging becasue right now, I'm riding a 650 thumper, so anything I'll get will probably be an improvement
Adam Young
Getting a ticket is just bad luck. You can ride for days without ever seeing a patrol car. The only speed limit I respect are < 50 kph because it's most likely residential or school areas.
Colton Brown
bullshit. If the limit is 30, it is 30. A cop can't arrest me for going at 30mph in a 30 zone.
James Hill
>>get singled out by a cop running a speed trap nah, they'll pull out the first guy going too fast, doesn't matter if it's a car or a bike
Alexander Reed
Thank you for the actual interesting and informative post. I adjusted the valves on my CBR last winter and I'm going to do a full service this winter again. I'm curious as to how the valves will be.
The R3 is still fairly commuterish and upright if you compare it to a CBR600RR (note how on the CBR the bars will be nearly level with the saddle, and on the R3 it's a tad higher). I have only ridden a Z300 and I was spooked by how small it was. I wish I could comment more.
Nearly all middleweight nakeds can fit that bill if you put proper tires on them. I'm gonna tell ya again: Proper tires. Factor that in on your budget. Those are the key difference between "holy shit I almost died" and people disappearing on your mirror.

You can pick so much stuff user.
Christopher Smith
yes, they can ticket you for doing 30 if the flow is 40 or higher it doesn't mean itll stick in court, but they can nonetheless its also usually a nonissue outside of freeways since thats where the speed difference can be hazardous, plus a cop has to be a total dickwad to get you on it in the first place, or youre left lane camping
Gavin Jones
Inline fours are literally the opposite of smooth
Xavier Allen
with the gearing the SV comes with it's not really an issue unless you're doing a lot of low speed clutch out stuff (like we do every now and then).
I just don't think it's as smooth as an I4, especially below 4.5k
I mean if you say so, I guess.
Eli Cox
is this in USA or britain?
just can't really quite believe they would do that here.
Plus, if I were to do that on the test, I would be failed.
Jayden Moore
I was cruising along and suddenly something crawled across my face so now I'm sitting on the side of the road because I think there's a spider hiding in my helmet
Chase Myers

are goldwings popular in japan? if not, is there some small dedicated community there for it?
Anthony Peterson

It was down. It must have crawled in while on the shelf and just come out of the vent holes once I started riding
Ryan Reed
>You can pick so much stuff user. your list is pretty good I'll have to say, but one of the most important things for me is fuel injection, and that unfortunately excludes everything but the BMW. I have however decided to go on a bit of a BMW pause right now after having ridden one for the last 2 years
But you're right with the tyres, I'm right now riding on Metzeler Lasertecs which are pretty good, but I'm sure I could ahve gotten a lot more grip (but maybe a bit less longevity) with Bridgestones or the more expensive Michelins
Landon Wilson
I was stuck in traffic the other day (parra rd, too narrow to filter) when a tradie started yelling at me. I had my ear plugs in so I couldn't quite tell what, I turn around and say "what" and he yells "There's a spider on your bike", he points to the rear indicator and lo and behold, a big huntsman, ain't no thang.
Flicked it off and flashed him a thumbs up, as I did he yelled "and I just saw another one crawl down your neck" and started laughing.
Dylan Williams

The police have two ways of checking your speed. >They can either get you with a radar gun, in which case, if you are going with the flow of traffic, they will get someone else long before you. >Or they can gauge your speed relative to the flow of traffic/their speed.
Either way, if you're matching the speed of the cars around you, they'll have no reason to pull you over.
Colton Cruz
>cc81 who now?
Matthew Sanders

Cooper Collins
not that guy, but I swear, I only see cops when I speed. When I'm driving/riding normally, I never see any cops.
I think he's going to be passed out for a few more hours

these fags should just bring out an adventure bike with the 690 Enduro engine and a bit more offroad oriented than BMW's bikes, or the 1050 or 1290 enduro

It's pretty different to high speed cornering, but any kind of deliberate motorcycle practice of new techniques is going to improve bike skills and confidence even if it's indirectly. One of the things it definitely seems to affect is your vision.
I know plenty of racers practice with conefagging.
Thomas Martinez
>that cx custom noice. also rip in pieces farkles.
Jason Baker
damn nigga you look tired
Mason Lewis
neat i'm a shit rider so maybe i'll do that
Liam Lee
oh I forgot to mention the best bit which is that conefagging is it's own reward as you will be TERRIFIED the first time you do those tight turns without a clutch in, TERRIFIED. My hands hurt from death gripping the bars the first few times, then you get comfortable with it and learn to loosen up.
Even if it wasn't relevant to any other riding it's fun on it's own.
