How do I reach a conclusion that should I buy a motorbike or a car? Or is it ideal to have both?
I'm in college doing my masters in business and have a ready-to-do-anything-with-me girlfriend. I also work at a warehouse as a store handler as my part-time. I'm from Canada and my area mostly don't snow.

Luke Thomas
pretty cattu. it's possible to do bike only as long as you live in an area where it doesn't snow or snows little enough that you won't be significantly impaired. it takes a lot of getting used to coming from a car but coming from nothing, anything will likely feel like a luxury. that said, it's a big pain in the ass to grab groceries on most bikes.
if you've never driven anything before, get a car. you have enough to learn with just getting the mechanics of motorcycling down without also having to learn how the road works. traffic might seem like a minor concern but it's easily the single most important aspect of motorcycling on public roads.

Dominic Butler
vfr750's are
Lucas Cooper
No there not.
I was talking about vfr800's not ninja 250. Nobody cares about those pos bikes.
Zachary Butler
i could get a vfr800 for 2k tho that's close enough

Do you already have a car? Sounds like you don't own a car. If you feel like you don't use much of the car's space, get a motorbike.
Also read twice. That was a good explanation.

I liteally only have ever owned bikes, never owned a car living in CA.
Past few years I've had a company car but the point stands. Highschool, college, and working jobs I've always commuted on a motorcycle (until recently with company car).
It's cake, at least in CA. other places might suck with the weather and whatnot.
Ryan Williams
Cool. Let us know when you buy a bike that's not made exclusively for faggots.

thats why you buy a used one with at least 5k miles on it. By then all the issues have been worked out. Mine has at least 1500 that I've put on it myself with minimal issues. Just requires more preventative maintenance. Graim no
Adrian King
enjoy your kymco
Henry Ross
i wasn't knocking them. my impression of the bike is that it's very niche, both in that it's a sidecar off the lot and that it's got a reputation for being very wrencher-heavy. since it's a simple, ancient design it's always seemed like a bike for the kind of person who sincerely enjoys working on their shit. i have respect for that but it's not something i'd ever drive.
Nolan Jackson
You're absolutely right in that some of them don't make it off the lot though. I don't think I'd ever buy a new one because the hassle of fixing it/bringing it to an approved dealership for repairs under warranty for two years would be too much. So far with mine, I had a gasket leak on the final drive which required pulling the rear wheel off and cracking the drive to replace. The gasket was $18 for 20 shipped from Russia. Had I made sure the nuts holding it together were tight, the original gasket wouldn't have torn. There's a learning curve for sure but overall it's been pretty great. The gasket repair was like an hour of work, and I do enjoy the experience of getting to intimately know my bike.
Jason Morgan
Semi-modern EX250s are $2-3k here in good condition, about the same as vfr800fis and vfr750s in so-so condition, which are about the same price as vtec vfrs because vtec fucking sucks
Alexander Green
the thing about the EX250 is that before its most recent update (and i'm pretty sure even with the new plastics the generation before), it has been almost exactly the same bike for literally decades. the year doesn't matter for shit, it's just the actual condition of the bike. one of the easiest bikes to buy
Jordan Ramirez
>"""adventure bike""" >6 million pound touring bike with a dirtbike appearance package >so this retard can ridearound on dirt roads that wouldn't pose a challenge to a sportbike and feel like hes OFFROADAN
you cucks are hilarious.
Luke Gonzalez
DR350 is the answer.
Jackson Roberts
The third generation was 1988-2007, there was 3 versions after that I think and then it was replaced with the 300.
Jayden Powell
Lads, where should i look to buy 250ccbike in netherlands for 1k? Only car ive got right now cannot leave the country, cause its company rental.
Alexander Walker
Wrong. XR400 is the only correct answer.
Luis Harris
i think i remember reading about the first updated generation with the updated plastics that it was mostly unchanged save cosmetics, but i guess that was almost 10 years ago now so i'm not sure.

>when your state hands out concealed carry permits to any idiot that can pass a background check, didn't bother banning beastiality until someone got their guts fucked to death by a horse, and exempts all motorcycles from emissions testing to the point where every gixxer from spokane to seattle is catless and tuned for it (but mostly spokane) (rednecks) >but won't allow motorcycles to filter through traffic jams because fuckwads in cali weave in and out of highway traffic (literally the case made in the senate hearing)
fucking kill me
Kevin Campbell
dope dubz
Carter Collins
californian here. if you "weave in and out of traffic" while lane splitting, your lane splitting career is going to be very short. the argument is like banning driving because some people drive recklessly.
Nicholas Thomas
do not underestimate the stupidity of politicians
they'd buy that argument
Henry Rivera
Gen four had a different frame and the engine didn't rev as high, so I assume there were many other differences.
Nathaniel Ramirez
Why are rectangle headlights so much better than round?
Liam Allen
Cali rider that "weaves in and out of highway traffic" here.
Suck it faggot.
p.s. why would we even have to weave in and out of traffic if we are splitting. you literally can go straight down the road and bypass all the traffic. No "weaving" necessary.
Kevin Baker
So you can look cooler in your motovlog
Landon Anderson
i swear, if you gave me a platform i'd be able to teach damn near any motorcyclist who's willing to listen the safest way to split safely. it's not rocket science but there is some stuff to keep in mind. i feel like the general public just doesn't ever get exposed to how it should actually work, and when they see motorcyclists doing it responsibly they don't notice because it's the guy splitting and slaloming at 100 that makes a bigger mental impact.
Logan Bennett
I commute on my bike every single day.
City streets I ride straight down the middle bypassing all the traffic.
Freeway I perform exactly 4 lane changes when I get on the freeway and 4 lane changes when I get off the freeway, straight from the on ramp to the carpool lane and straight from the carpool lane to the off ramp.
Changing lanes any more than would not only be slower but would open myself up to a much higher chance of accidents. most cali dives expect bikes the carpool lane splitting. They are completely oblivious to you if you're in any other lane.
Ethan Miller
changing lanes isn't splitting anyway. There is no need to slalom when you are splitting.
People weaving and slaloming are taking a lane position and changing lanes recklessly. Something bikers in states other than CA do because they cant split.
In CA we just cruise by splitting the #1 lane. There literally no reason to do anything other than that.
Thomas Gray
You're never going to be a youtube star with that attitude.
David Rodriguez
exactly, and these aren't behaviors which are by any means unique to motorcyclists. tons of fucking cars do it too. i generally split #1 and 2 as well, but sometimes you do need to get around something. there's always a safe way to do it though. those literal seconds you shave off doing something showboaty and retarded aren't worth the opportunity cost.
Jeremiah Young

Jordan Davis
rectangle lights look like focused eyes. round just look like vacuous deer
Gabriel Bailey
People don't care about the right or wrong way to do it.
Motorcyclists in general have a "hooligan" image in most peoples eyes. Meth smokin Hells Angles or reckless wigger sportbike riders.
With this image in people's heads they don't want that type of person (distasteful ruffian motorbike riders) to "cut" and get by them while they're stuck in traffic.
Plus most people are scared of driving in general and clueless about whats behind them. So when I bike comes within 3 feet of their car and suddenly into their attention they get terrified.
They would rather those hooligan bikers just wait in line like everyone else and get rear ended and killed by some bro in his truck that was texting.
When you just look for virago, you see it's all parts for a virago. in the subsection Onderdelen, not Motoren.
The only virago I saw for sale that isn't for parts is in the subsection oldtimers, not Yamaha.
Cruisers just aren't that popular here, if they aren't big.
Charles Bennett
its there, the site sucks though
Juan Gray
>Motoren >translated to engines
Google, you suck!
It looks weird, but it actually is the people who put them on the site who fuck it up. That pink one, for example is under Overige Onderdelen, not under Motoren or Yamaha. The one next to it is under Oldtimer, not under Yamaha.

There is IMO no single extremely reliable bike that stands above all others today like the Airhead BMWs (like R65Anon rides) did above everything else into the 1970s, because mostbikes today are quite good. (Hyosung a shit due to typical gook garbage electrical system and poor plating etc, but that's expected.)
You are better off choosing a bike you are interested in then finding out what breaks on it and how often. Consumer Reports etc stats can be deceptive because unless you know WHAT breaks, mere raw break rates aren't much use. Little shit vs. explody expensive engine death is relevant.
If serious about break rates, find current dealer and independent mechanics who do a lot of work on what interests you. Also check brand-specific forums.
Mason Jenkins

Anyone with a CB400 Revo here that can tell me how to get the fuel tank off? I want to clean out the air filter.
I've looked at the various hoses coming out of it but since I'm very new to this bike I'm not sure which lines are related to fuel and to the cooling system.
I've ordered a service manual from England, but it's taking a while to reach Australia. Nearest Honda dealer wanted $265 for a copy from them. I love riding this bike; it's just finding parts and some info on it are frustrating. I'll take this over the Ninja 250 any time, though.

Original poster here, same for my brother, but it changed about three years ago so I got fucked. I got a crf250L with like 400km on its odometer because I am not allowed to ride it on the road until I'm 20, and passed like 500 exams.
Just sucks and I still wonder why it is not regulated from Europe, and still every country deciding for itself. It makes no sense.
