Sacramento i believe. visiting a friend in the airforce.

>can't willie
Stop being a cucked little pussboi. Rev the bike and dump the clutch you hetero faggot

Do you nignogs drive cars?

I can't stand driving.
I appreciate a good car, and I sometimes jerk off to the idea of building a nice ride, but holy shit, driving is a fucking chore, especially in traffic, and I get none of the fun I have on a bike.

So if one bike has a final drive ratio of 2.3 to 1 and another has a final drice ratio of 2.5 to 1. What exactly does thay mean?

...

if i dont have to drive my car i pretty much never do and pretty much every time i am driving my car i wish i was on my bike instead.

but im also still driving my toyota solora from HS so im sure if i had an interesting car to drive it might be different but id rather dump my money into motorcycles.

Sold my car because baiku is laifu

gimme the overpriced shitbike

Fuck wrong dude

well damn son. you got it.

>love the look of naked/standard bikes
>hate looks of faired bikes
>riding past 120km/h without fairings is just ass

is there a solution? big windscreens dont look good on naked bikes

even with a windscreen you still have your legs to worry about

What a time to be aliv

Get better taste

I need an MC22 CBR250RR in my life.
>mfw 19k rpm redline

its something you are born with, cant fix it

just like your raging homosexuality

Get one, no ragrets.

hi there little brother

Too bad I'm a burger. There's one imported and registered in Virginia for sale but it's got 40,000 miles and they want 7 grand.
I have dual citizenship with nipland though, so I might just buy one whenever I go back there.

Rsv4 pls

@buckharness on instagram lives in the PNW and has imported a bunch of rad 90's Jap bikes, including MC22's.

No

Hnnnng. You've posted your RVF before, jelly. Where you from?

Fugg

I don't want jap crap

how different is riding a motard to riding a standard bike? so many of the body positions i see look totally alien to me

That feel when a 25 year old boy mini-supersport has a tail compartment multiple times bigger rear storage compartment than your modern sports commuter because muh aggressive front heavy styling

>That feel when a 25 year old mini-supersport has a tail compartment multiple times bigger your modern sports commuter because muh aggressive front heavy styling
Holy shit did I fuck that up

Sucks. New Zealand and Australia are the best places outside Japan to get em. I got mine with only 18,000kms but they're known to clock over 99,999 with no worries, gear driven cams so reliable.

Why is that so low? Braking forces?

Landing after a jump.

NC35>NC29
Straya mate. Out in the sticks

They're getting really scarce now, and even with the LAMS in NZ the MC22 still go for 5-6k.
He landed really fukkin hard.

>tail compartment

They were always more inconvenient to access than they were to use. Fashion features for people too insecure to bolt a basic bitch rack where the grab rails go and tie down a box with a latch on it. Or just tie it to the tail since the tail is skinny enough and far enough from the wheel to get a bunch of cord around

>no, i need the givi cases!

>$244,000
god damn...

so close...

lets go

I got mine for 4k with 18k kms, only up on trademe for half a day. Stoked I got to view first. So much better than the Ninja 300 I started on.

>Tail compartment
I always thought they were a panini press.

You got extremely lucky.

I constantly run out of ground clearance and scrape with those tires. They're surprisingly sticky for what they are. Plenty for having fun on a 250 shitbike that is also a commuter.

Looking to pick up an XRR soon to run real sticky rubber on a bike with enough power to justify it.

forgot muh webum

...

Go kart tracks look like great fun for small displacement shitbikes to hoon around. Where can I do this?

Adam's Motorsport Park

What is inconvenient about using the tail compartment? I have all my tools and chargers in there. I can open it with the same key as I start my bike.

This to be honest, my bike has a large compartment under the seat for storing things and it is not really an inconvenience to get to it at all considering the lock that takes the seat off is also the lock used to fasten your helmet to the bike.

>mfw I need to open my capacious tail storage after I just started the bike

It's good for emergency tools, the odd replacement cable/lever, and vehicle registration. That's about it. And you don't need a six pack of beer in space for that. You could probably even get all the spare breakables into most modern sportbikes with tools.

>bars, pegs, levers, stick-on mirrors, and a prepaid phone

Brb let me go take a fuckin pic

>You could probably even get all the spare breakables into most modern sportbikes with tools.
I barely have room for an insurance card and registration under the seat on mine.

Why ride crossed up on street tires?

Can only fit levers in here sideways with a couple spanners. That's all, even the cloth to stop it bouncing around is pushing it.

I guess you're not lucky enough to be able to pop the whole seat off.

If I could, it wouldn't serve any purpose.

I can't even think of road a bike on the market with a single piece seat besides the ZX14.

>mc22 thread

cbf to go and take a photo of it, but pic related is my new colour fairing scheme as of yesterday, just need to paint my wheels and exhaust now

>just hit 81,000km
>really like the bike and don't want it to die but getting worried (touch wood as fuck)

should I take it to a (trusted) mechanic and give him an unlimited budget to remedy and problems he can find?

those two pipes in one muffler setups make my dick hard

If you have the money, but not the skill, sure.
Just arrange they'll call you about the state and visit often to check on it.

im confident with basic jobs like carbs and whatnot, but i feel like I'm not experienced enough to notice important components breaking down before it's too late and there's some sort of failure

This is actually less efficient than it should be because they put honking big hinges on the pillion seat instead of it popping off, but anyways

>MC22, the hardest of hardcore 4 stroke 250 street bikes

Yeah just tell him to go ham and stop at X dollars just to look.

>MC41, softcore 250 4-stroke street bike

The late 80's/early 90's were a good era for screaming 250's.

I prefer the twin stack look.

>tfw your 250 can't beat the anime girls learner bike on the track
youtube.com/watch?v=zdmPcZ6rxSs
Look at them just go past all them 250's like they are nothing

What about the groceries? Do you drive your car?

...

...

Nice find. Trash the scooter.

I have both a company car and a private econobox
Bike is for fun, car for traveling and chores
How is driving a chore? For me it's easier and more comfy compared to riding

Ride mountain twisties up to 110kmh (^:

...

m8 the scooter is a 1985 honda spree and it is a pussy magnet with matching helmet, about to instal a big bore kit and larger carb setup and get that bad girl up to 45mph

and exactly how much pussy have you got as a direct result of it

Bicycle

how much pussy has anyone gotten as a direct result of our beat up 90s sportbikes and yamaha R3s

He bought a bigger bike despite drowning in pussy.

Tons desu senpai my 929rr is a chick magnet and it's still in pieces

Are you trying to glue it back together with lies?

motorcycle buying guide tells me bike i want should be $700 used and $2100 brand new yet craigslist seller puts it up for $1900

what bike?

For what purpose

For people who should have bought a cruiser with saddle bags

I'm still going to WHY

It's giving me claustrophobia just looking at it.

No but my gf on the back of her R3 likes the rumble of the 320cc on the highway on her pussy

929 still being painted. Done this weekend...

well lets just call it a factor, do you own a car? I don't, I ride 2 or less wheeled vehicles everywhere I go, in any weather. started with bicycles, expanded to a scooter, then a moto, then a 2nd moto, and a unicycle fits in there somewhere, as you already know im sure, you need more than a bike to get pussy, a personality helps.

You mean for people who are smart enough to realize you don't need a bike that's worse by design to carry shit. Doubly so if you know/are a welder. Custom racks all day erry day.

Sportbike tails are made to carry 200lb passengers. Put some bags on those while you're at it.

>not carrying a spare bike on your bike
