So the CBR250RR is pretty much done. Have to straighten the handle bars, mount mirrors, and tape the indicators on and it's technically road legal. I avoided an inspection by processing it as a historic.

I need a fresh battery too, it has to be jump or bump started at the moment. Starts fine off the electric start after it's run for a bit.

You have to mess around a bit with the idle adjuster as it warms up as well. Once it's warm it actually runs great again.

The exhaust mount got bent in slightly when it was hit so there's a small gap between the top of the midpipe flange and the can at the moment. It's deafeningly loud as a result. It's pretty funny.

Looking on Craigslist for a good first timer bike

Which of these two is better?

orlando.craigslist.org/mcy/5927793119.html
>Yamaha RD250 but 350cc $2200
>God damn it looks cool
>Don't much like the sound it makes though

orlando.craigslist.org/mcy/5932973875.html
>Suzuki GN250 $1600
>Totally rebuilt
>I am a big guy at 6'4 and 200lbs so it looks like it might be a bit small

>6'4 and 200lbs
>americans

love that exhaust

That guy has to be way more than 200lbs

Hey what's the best flavor/year of VTX1800?
if anyone is into that shit

Fug he is just adorable

dont buy an ancient 2-smoke for your first bike.

Dont buy it as your only bike actually, you want something to ride while you are waiting for parts to arrive.

And then they forget to sure it up and it sags and breaks.

And then you make a bracket for $5 that fixes the issue.

you really have one of the coolest bikes on here

i ain't posting my vape pen here, this is blue borad

So the Suzuki is the better choice? or should I be looking at other things entirely? Here in Florida the only other things around a lot are harleys

Thanks. It's a shitbike, but it's my shitbike.

how is an italian racebike a shitbike?

>Don't much like the sound it makes though

sorry to tell you this user but motorcycling isn't for you

>missing multiple bolts
>mismatched parts, various shoehorned japanese parts
>certain electronic bits just outright not working
>multiple electrical gremlins I'm too lazy to fix
Sounds like a shitbike to me.

well dont buy a harley either.

if you want something simple and not very exciting buy the suzuki.

if it ever gets shrecked, could you send me the rims?

its italian

Tbh I still have the original ones laying around for some unknown reason.

they are probably still worth something in scrap?
how much did you pay for those rims?

Tru
>yfw shivvy wins the shitbike bingo without using the free space

its aluminium

its worth 2 bucks maybe

>scrap
Like said, probably like $2 since aluminum.

>how much did you pay
Managed to find them for $1700.

post shitbike binge again

I didn't say it was worth much lel

those are pretty cool, I wish I had a bike that rims like that would look good on

lol were you drunk?

Honestly learn to use your bike fully before you go replacing stuff. It's better to know what you need before you buy it.

Whole reason I chose to get rearsets instead of a decat pipe. I'd rather not scrape peg than have a tiny bit more power.

>trying to find used rims for bike

>rear? Sure, 150 bucks there ya go
>front? AHAHAHAHA good luck even finding one and if you do its at least 700

why cant people stop ruining their front rims when they crash?

The rear OEM one is fucked too mane. I wouldn't buy it.

do rims really do that much apart from looking cool and reducing a bit of weight? same with an aftermarket can, it mostly only looks and sounds great, but if you don't properly de-cat it and adjust the ECU, your bike probably loses a bit of power instead of gaining it.

I'd like to think the wheels made the bike feel a bit more flickable and planted while cornering due to being lighter, but the reality is I also swapped the tires so that could also be another factor. You're not really going to notice a difference unless you spring for magnesium wheels which are much lighter than aluminum ones.

Any lighter wheel options that WILL make a bigger difference are usually absolute shit for street-ridden bikes, such as magnesium (lolcorrosion and cracking) or Carbon Fiber (rock chips turn into frayed wheels)

I bought the marchesinis because they're cheaper than OEM MV wheels, easier to find, and I needed a set of wheels since the OEM ones were trashed. That's it.

but they still look pretty nice

I'd hope so for $1700. Muh shekels ;_;

n-no ofc not

>mud or dirt under the rear fender
thats basically a free space

ah yes i forgot, you're an antisocial dweeb who doesn't have friends to enjoy drinking with

Why don't they design bikes to make them easier to clean

>enjoy drinking
you mean being a degenerate

got the template?

watch this

DUBS

>mgw it actually happened

Did someone say 600?

Any cruiserfags around? I'm wondering if raising a big vtwin is worth it and if so how to do

I'm in NJ. What's liability insurance like on a motorcycle? Do you get charged by displacement or by riding style?

Is a Suzuki GSX-R750 super-sport cheaper to insure than a Suzuki Bandit 1250S sport-standard?

Requesting advice

I'm going to be buying some bags for my sv650s. I hope to not spend significantly over 150 euro. What are your bikes carrying?

I was looking at GIVI EA101 and pic related.

>its just the niggers
>americans

Ayyy lmao, nice baiku! Get yourself a tail tidy m80, you tired of the stock seat yet?

sam hyde can't keep getting away with this

Buy vstrom. Cruiser for fags

I don't have it (yet), but I'll be buying it soon

Oopsies, forgot pic.

What an outdated looking heap of shit, does kawasaki even try anymore?

I don't want none of that suzukitis

that is a 12 year old bike

Looks better than most of the edgy shit out today desu senpai.

what exhaust do you have on it?

Nice, how are you liking it?

I have the stocker, but wanted to get this Delkevic, I've seen them irl on SVs and ninja 650s and they look and sound great. You thinking of getting one too?

>visible engine
>clear shapes that fit together
>classic color scheme

guess you prefer the "throw plastic mecha-model pieces at it and cover them with stickers" approach?

I prefer the Mivv GP, a friend of mine put one on his honda and it sounds and looks great. But the first thing I'm gonna get is change the stock exhaust, I'll never deal with those atrocities again

>all these fags afraid of some wind in their face

forgot pic

Shhhhh. You ruin the fun.

Look at that. It only got worse.
They truely did give up.

the 900 looks bretty good

I have this
How much offroad/adv/explorong potential do it have?

literally none

I'm not even joking

Lol for a stock exhaust they're not that bad. They sound pretty good at idle, but are a little too quiet. You doing any other mods

This was my fear.

Crf650l or 450?

I might get a bugspoiler, sleeker, more filtering friendly mirrors and handguards like this dude
