>not even a 1200

Shig

My life is pain.

Why didn't you get a 1200 sporty? They can be had for more mere hundreds more than their 883 counterpart second hand.

I got this bike for 1500, im sure I couldn't get a 1200 for hundreds more.

Id like one to turn into a tracker/scrambler.

He can't handle the 53? crank HP on his 600 lb? bike... let alone 70hp...

True

>t. Bench racer

>spend $7000 on a decent supersport
>put garbage touring tires on it trying to save $100/yr
Are you guys from last thread serious? Saving money putting them on yourself is smart, cucking yourself with improper tires is silly.

>7grand
>only spent 1700
memes

>goes to a race track to do wheelies
also why the fuck does everyone swing their arm around like a fucking monkey when they do 1-hand wheelies

>talking out his ass
>has never tried both types of tires for comparison

>decent
Sorry, but your bike must be ~20 years old with comparatively shit suspension and power to modern supersports.

If not, then good job on finding it for that price.

...

don't worry bb i do plenty of wheelies on the street.

What tire dis?

Really tho this 883 is fucking embarrassing compared to my scout.

The accelleration isnt there, the throttle response is shitty, the suspension is aweful and it vibrates like a bastard.

Shit even my scout sixty is embarrassing for a brand new 1200.

Of course I have.. I've done around 60 000km on both types of tires.

Why has dbt gotten so full of shitposting nobikes trying to give advice in the past couple years? It was never like this before.

>benchracing this hard
meet me on the touge, faget

2003
40k miles
very well taken care of
i'm probably going to be its last owner

Aren't the new Indians metric?

Yeah you're not missing much by going with sport touring tires so you may as well save the money.

Harley forks/shocks are showa and brakes are either tokico or brembo.

Sure, you going to be using your trash tires?

In 1988 they didnt.
I mean shit my 1000 scout has nealry 10 more hp and only 6 lbs less torque than a 1200 sportster.

What do you mean?
All of the fasteners seem to be metric.
The factory is in Spirit Lake Iowa.

New rider needs advice. Looking at two used bikes, 2013 Kawi 300 and 2015 CBR300R, they both have about 8000km and are $3500 canuck monopoly dollars.
Leaning on the Honda, since it has ABS.

no one will advise you spend quite that much on a first bike but if you dont care about the price go for the honda

Unfortunately, these are the best prices I have seen locally. The only other thing I was considering was a CBR125 for $1700.

Well cruisers are shit

i'll be using the ones the previous owner left on the bike

Z125 or Grom

neither

Z125, Honda a shit

Indians are nice m8

Children's dirt bike or Ruckus

Hey think this would be a good first bike ?

Hello guys, I'd like some advice about purchasing a bike. There's a 2007 GSXR-750 in my area for about $4000 and it looks super clean in the photos. The catch is that it has about 100,000 miles, but the engine was supposed to be rebuilt 10,000 miles ago, and he says he was receipts from the shop.

Is this a good idea? What things should I look out for? Is that a good price?

god no thats not a good deal

Okay, then what is a fair price? I thought I'd go look at it tomorrow. So check out the condition and how well it runs.

$3k. I'd be wary as fuck about that milage.

500

figure one just about everything being worn out by now, transmission, suspension and bottom end if he just had the top end done not a whole teardown.
i wouldn't touch it for over 2k

But thats, like, your opinion man.*

* DISCLAIMER anything that a standard is good at there is a cruiser that can do the same.

standards are shit too

Thanks, those are very good points.

Except not scrape a peg taking a corner at 30 mph :-)

Can someone make a fucking Standard that doesn't look like the retarded brother of a sport bike and actually give it a fucking decent engine? How fucking hard is it?

K Road Rossi.

I bet you make fun of the leathers that "real" bikers wear but then immediately, and unironically, squeeze your fat body into a one peice track suit.

You dont like how the new standards and nakids look?

Z900 looks like sex in bike form.

Striple is bretty gud

What standards are you referring to? All the new ones except Yamaha to some look pretty good.

the katos are sick and don't look like sport bikes at all

>friend wants to ride NOW despite my bikes idle is set way too low
>downshifting to pull into scotchman gas station
>bike dies while downshifting
>blinker
>still have enough speed and try to coast left into parking lot
>car passes me on my left within a foot of me

Goddammit.

you can't reach your idle adjustment screw?

...

>actually recommending a fucking ruckus ever, let alone over grom/z125
literally kill yourself, worthless trip

Fookin prawnts.

>kato

I don't understand this

why

Grom any day, but if you wanna cheap out the Z125 isn't much worse

You're right it just looks like a fucking shrimp

I need baby hands to get to it. It's between the no 2&3 carbs. I fixed it today when I found my long screw driver

Should i get this one?

>sportster tank
>Yammie engine

Repaint asap.

wow, wait until you ride an actual bike then, that'll be an experience.

>tfw send a text message before I rode home tonight

do it at your own risk, you could get preggnat by tyrones bbc

Yeah, hang it on your wall. People pay less for other ridiculous art pieces.

You don't really want to be that guy who doesn't have custom motorcycles hung up in his house, do you?

V4 with close firing is best sound
VFR800s are a close second

>brap brapbrap brap brapbrap

>no clutch lever?
are you /scoot/, user?

oh there it is. just the angle of the still. nvm.

>Yeah, hang it on your wall.
what do you mean by this? I tought about buying it because it looks nice and it's for $1400

he thinks if you want to ride it, you should get a bike better designed for riding. the one you're looking at is more interesting as a wall hanging.

Literally hang it on your wall

i6 a best also v-twin is for cucks

>6 carbs
that guy must pay for special deliveries of ethanol free gas

i understand now, thanks

real europe hours who tf up

So I'm in a tossup for a new bike

DRZ400 or DL650 V Strom?

I like the DRZ but it's not gonna be good for long distance riding.

night shift burgers

I know someone who maintains a bike collection with both a CBX and a Benelli Sei.

And yes, he gets special deliveries of ethanol free gas.
