Did you become a has bike instead of a has scoot? you were the user who only got into bikes because of the scoot right?

Looks like it'll be a fun bike user You gonna come to SAM with her?
Alexander Taylor
I know man, I love the indians too, they are just more expensive. My g/f already wants to kill me for getting another bike right now.

Depends on where SAM is going to be located, if its east coast no, west coast yes.

When I go pick up this bike tomorrow, the bank im going to is in a semi ghetto area, and no one is avail to drive me, so I either have to leave my 30k car there, or my new motorcycle, what should I do?
Wyatt King
Not living in a place where they have places like that.
Daniel Allen
What car
Brayden Walker
old yamaha Iogo is not new yamaha logo.
Red was the old Yamaha color. Now they are all blue.
Have you even looked at Yamaha in the past 15 years?

Day 2 without my bike.. No idea what to do with myself... It was so warm, and no rain... no rain. I've been on craigslist in class and out of class, all day. What is wrong with me?
Gabriel Perez
Well, its a ways away from where I live. It's not super ghetto, but its not the best either.

I don't have the other shitbox anymore unfortunately or I would. I sold it to a Russian dude for 500 bux.

Take a taxi. Both your vehicles are prone to be stolen

Yeah, i'll prob have to do that
Lincoln Jackson
I haven't ridden my motorcycle in awhile and since today was a somewhat good day, I thought I'd take it out. I noticed that the cover over the keyhole in the ignition wasn't there and thought great, someone tried stealing it but couldn't get it to turn. I then noticed the paint around the handlebars on the right was flaking and just thought it was due to the weather. When I got on I noticed that the handlebars were bent towards the gas tank on the right side too. I realized just how lucky I had been right there. I moved my bike into a storage shed I've been renting right after. I wouldn't say my city is shitty, just the apartments I live in. What are some effective ways to prevent this from happening again? Are disk locks something that would deter thieves?

Storing it in a garage/storage box is the best. Disk locks are good too, but not the best.

Disc lock, bike cover. Only true fool proof protection is to get theft insurance. My bike has an anti theft system on it too but that's not really something you can just add.

Matthew Taylor
Fucking fantastic best bike i've ever had by far, but i'm 6'3" and yea, it fits me pretty well. Tell him to go to a dealer and sit on one, maybe he can tippy toe or one foot it, depends how short he is.
Michael King
Yeah he's like 5'7 at most. He'd fit well on any sport bike except the one he likes, lol.

Noice bike m8, these are so good they should be banned, i can't enjoy any other sports bike after trying this one.
Might fall for the old 4cyl model, they sell cheap and have absolutely stunning looks. ( i hope they are half as good as the new ones).
Adrian Nelson
>You will never own an xr750 to kill yourself racing on a flat track
Jason Russell
I've never ridden one, though I'd be curious how it stacks up to the 675 especially considering the triple is the best thing about that bike. Before I bought it I had heard people gushing about it and never really understood how it could be that good, then I rode it for the first time, that motor is a thing of fucking beauty.
Lincoln Sanchez
I wonder too, the Triumph triples are some wizardry, i ride the 1200 daily and i never get tired of it.
John Roberts
Why are all the bikes I want so absurdly expensive

What bikes do you want? Get one with a minor problem and fix it if you're mechanically inclined.

>falling for the 2 stroke meme Happens to the best of us, God knows it did to me.
Assuming SAM happens (it won't), does anyone honestly believe that it'll happen anywhere other than Tail of the Dragon (NC/TN border)?
I'm fairly surprised us least coasters won. I was actually looking forward to a nice long road trip out west. California scenery is objectively the best.
But there's plenty to see and nice roads around GSM national park, so that's my hope.

dumb guestoin but can i wax my bike with car wax?
wot about the plastics at rear? its regular bike so it has only tank and tail plastics, rest is components.
what about the chrome around head light? can i just wax it?
Eli Adams
nah no good, wax will corrode and melt the exterior of your petrol tank. You need to get a special bike wax that is phophate free
Hunter Garcia
wot?
>car wax
yes that's completely fine if what you're applying wax to is painted
>wot about the plastics at rear?
Wouldn't be waxed on a car so don't wax it on your bike.
Get 303 aerospace protectant or 3D magic blue.
Kayden Nelson
Very good taste, but they are really expensive, as an explorer owner i can tell you that buying a bike with 50 000+km/30000+miles is really not a problem, these things are built to last and the quality is incredible.
If you ever get your hands on one, pay attention to the first year (2012) bikes, they had two recalls ( engine noise and abnormal clutch wear ), wich were corrected from 2013 on, after that they are free from any issue.
Journalists are absolute shills about this bike, it surclasses the GS on everything except offroad, wich is retarded on a 200+kg bike beyond fire roads.
I ride it everyday for ~50kms all year around and tour on it on weekends, it's an absolute blast.

Jack James
what do real life riders, and i mean real life i dont care about internet opinions here think of these bikes as beginner bikes
i rode on a motorcycle twice and learnt the controls now i want to get a bike to practice on than finish my licensing and get insurance on it
at first i really wanted a dual sport but ive been told you usually see older more experienced guys on them because they are tall and hard to control. ive been directed towards these and i feel a little turned down by the though of cafe racers and im not sure if these classify as one or if you fix one up they would than be called a cafe racer, but im still down to get one.
Jacob Ward
It's just a UJM. Most bikes used to look like that. Times change, so now most don't.
Nobody will care.
Nathan Rivera
>got a track bike. >got 2 sets of wheels >one dry one wet >have rear sprocket for each
how bad is it to keep changing rear sprockets for the chain?
i obviously use the dry wheel more than the wet so the dry wheel sprocket is a tad bit more worn. is it fine just swapping or should i start changing the sprocket too.
Jacob Collins
Ideally you want the chain and sprocket to wear evenly as a set, if you have a newer sprocket on a worn chain or vice versa it'll make them both wear faster.
Adam Cook
530exc for new bike?
Christian Ward
I'm also interested in this. I want to start riding and a large part of that is that I can't stand new cars being full to the brim with cruft. This style of bike is the one that catches my attention the most but it seems like the obvious choice.
The other question is what's the deal with (new) Royal Enfield? They're real cheap, are they also real crap?
Brody Fisher
What are you asking?
Parker Cruz
>can you rid e a bicycle? >can you drive a stick car? you have the absolute basics to stall your way to victory
Kayden Gutierrez
1. you'll have no trouble starting on a dual sport, if you're over 5'8 you could probably flat foot a DR650 lol.
2. that bike is 100% literally a 1970s bike that's been given the barest of updates to make it 2017 worthy, so fuel injection and what not. (Actually they took the electric starter OFF it as well).
that's fine but you're paying 2017 money for 1970s design and tech, and they're not that cheap, for $1000 more than the SR400s asking price you can pick up a new FZ-07 or SV650 etc.
It'll be a great beginner bike but to pick that you have to care a lot more about what it looks like than how it rides, and that's not my style.
Made in india, lax quality, slow.
Avoid.
Brody Gomez
royal enfield is now made in india hence the price.
Levi Gutierrez
but can you say the same with craigslist money in mind?
Christian Williams
This effect is amplified by Craigslist, upright 2nd gen SVs are plentiful and cheap
Matthew Lewis
>JDM 400cc >Kickstart Just get a CB500 or something if you're buying a bike in that segment, you can get way more bike if you don't diddle your dick to retro shit. There's even the CB500X for ADV posturing.

but why do i see these kinda bikes go so cheap on the craig, yea thee cc is quite low but i cant find much more examples this month, when i look up fz-07, sv650, cb500 they are pretty much all new models that are around 5k

I've read that the 500's are better, and I'd get an FE501, but I really have no idea. Much shorty maintenance intervals than my 701, but also much lighter, and not much less powerful.
Jackson Nelson
A low mileage fz07 is worth more than $5k. Stop complaining.
