Meme bike best bike

That's not a meme bike, it's just a shit ""bike"".
THIS is a meme bike.

>you know what would be a good a idea
>a motorcycle that can`t fall over and has more space
>we'll have to put more than two wheels and make it wider
>say the size of a small car should do it
Hmmm, what did you mean by this?

It's good for transporting beer and small cabinets

That's also a shit bike.

Wrong FZ is the supreme meme machine

FZ is the older meme but it's not on the same level of memery.

Nobody is disputing that.

>500 picture shitposts later

ONE POINT FIVE DAYS TO SEE BEE TEE

>implying GS 500 posting isn't qualityposting
Get a load of this nobike.

233cc hover baiku is best baiku.

Say that again and you'll be pressing F for this Doggo.

Post acutal meme bikes

I've carried more on my KLR than that. Also why not post a WebM of you leaning the things like Indi would.

Careful with that edge man. This is Veeky Forums. If anyone from /r9k/ or /b/ sees this, they will use weaponized autism to track your ass down based on the angle of solar radiation reflecting off of something and the rotation of your arm hair as it relates to the Cornelius effect.

Have you guys ever had to remove a dent from your tank?
While I was abroad some sort of minor storm blew my SV onto someone scooter, and his handlebars dented my tank.
It sits right in the curve of it as well

I have taken more pictures of distinct gs500s than anything else

How badly would I rape the value of my bike if I put some fairly aggressive clipons on a sport standard?

I can't wait for those fairing colors and decals to become fashionable again.

Keep the original handlebars, put them back on prior to selling the bike (or at least offer to do it).
Why would you do that though? Shittier handling, shittier riding position. Just buy a SS.

Save the originals and don't do any irreversible mods :)

I don't see how the handling would change. If anything, I've always heard that it's easier to handle in the corners. But more than anything, I like supersport positioning, but don't have a supersport.

M8 the GS500 is the ultimate meme. The DR-Z400SM is sure a meme but it just can't compete with the GS500.

>hammer down on what looks like a 1911

at least try and look like you want to do it

I made a hole like 7cm in diameter with my hip, and here it is after fixing

Like this? I should have some neat GoPro footage of that eventually.

the good ol' Cornelius effect

Why don't you get a bike that was designed for that riding position then? The handlebars aren't the only factor you know, you'd also want rearset footpegs, adjust the shift lever and brake lever...
I mean you can do whatever you want but I don't think it'd be worth the hassle.

are you an alium?

I will do, eventuallyâ„¢. I'm just being picky about my next bike.

I fucking love those old style luggage racks like the one in the back

It's a shame they don't make them for literally every bike.

why would you do such a thing? It's going to end up being super awkward having a lower body meant for upright seating then an upper body folded over for clipons

Lets see some long weekend rides.

nice, how did you do it? just pasted it?

...

...

Gave it to a smith in the family because I didn't have the tools for it. Waited about a year before actually having it fixed so it's not a matter of doing it quickly

hmm sadly don't have a smith at hand...

If that circle on the previous pic represents where the dent happened you may be fucked for obvious reasons. Still, check this cunt out

lebt wr anton noch?

At least then I will have, friends like Shia.

>want to take more pictures of bike
>don't want to look like a weirdo taking pictures of bike.

Ich weiss nicht. Er hat kurwa ostatnie posty w April

dann ist er wahrscheinlich tot

aber ich war seit januar auch nicht mehr hier

>good eye
It`s a FEG Hi-Power, single action.

well shite. at least its not as bad as that one

Now the real mystery is, am I a moron, or am I a supreme troll who did that intentionally? mwhwuahhahaa (hint: I'm a moron)

>buy shitbike without test riding
>lol poorly maintained
>lack the tools, time, and willingess to spend hundreds on the required new parts

>buy another shitbike, with test riding
>overlook flaws because it's cool despite them
>dissatisfied a month later, hate bike when not riding it, like bike when riding it

Third times the charm, right?

At least you're still alive user.
Unlike a certain wr...

>no Suzuki GSX-R1000R at Superbike WC
>no Norton V4 RR at Superbike WC
>no Bimota BB3 at Superbike WC
What a shame. I mean, seven brands as of now is a nice sight, but the more, the merrier.

convince me not to buy a honda hurrnet 600

Two words: Hornet 900

>ugly ass light
Gee, I don`t know.

I found this. What a bloody retard

yeah, it's not as good looking as the FZ6N, but still a lot better than the GSR600
actually a pretty good option, but they're quite a bit more expensive for worse state, and I'd really appreciate EFI

>wr anton

Commuter/weekend tourer here. Is the FJR13 the perfect bike?

>145 hp
>shaft drive
>simple to fix
>all weather comfy
>center stand
>fuel gauge

It's like my bandit just a bit more premium

>not a BMW
noided

What's the lightest bike with shaft drive anyway? Usually you only find it on cruisers and tourers, but I don't like the whirring sound of chains.

You're supposed to lube it up once in a while retard

Yeah it's a really good bike. I rode one last weekend and they're really comfy

There's still an inherent whirring sound to it that shaft drives completely lack.

>tfw you've become the DRZ meme

I can't do it lads, this is coming from riding a husqvarna te511. The difference is like night and day.

Is it good or bad?

What's the got to do with his chain though?

get a F800GT

The DRZ is 1000 times more reliable then the husqy but riding the 511 is a completely different animal. 4'th gear wheelies without the clutch and it's currently set up for supermoto, so mad hektik on the street.

probably a guzzi v7
that doesn't count tho because the rest of the bike will fall to bits before a jap chain would wear out

what's the power delivery like? it's mainly low end yeah?

>tfw bank still hasn't gotten back to me so the guy sold the tr650 to someone else even though I would have paid his full asking price
Apparently $400 is not worth a week of waiting for him
Fuck

I failed my mod 1 yesterday, booking for a retest is so fucking hard at this time of year and it is hard for me to find a day off to do it.

Just want to fucking kill myself, if I didn't fuck up I'd be on track for a proper bike instead of a 125 by next month, but I may need to wait till July to try again.

Bitches don't know bout my Pro Arm.

>giving your money to the moneykeeping jew

Does a stiffer modern frame really matter that much?

jo

Yeah, it's perfect, get one.

Plenty of torque starting at 2000rpm, at 4000rpm it's an animal.

Also, 100km/h in first is kind of fun.

Best commuter bike?
I need something good on gas, but can handle highways too. Storage and wind protection would be great.
So far I'm looking at smaller touring bikes but they're all so bulky still..

how good on gas is good on gas? SV650S is the true answer

See above post, it's completely fine in traffic, great on the highway, and decently economical. Otherwise get an nc700/750 and call it a day if you don't care too much about performance.

Thumpers, I'd take a KLR650.
V-Twin, I'd take a V-Strom 650.
P-Twin, I'd take a NC750.
4cyl, I'd take GSX-R750.

Hey guys I want to put a new exhaust and a power commander on my bike. Is it as simple as plug in and play or do I need to get other stuff also?

>single sided swingarm
hnng

I was hoping for 60mpg ish. Does the sv650 get that? Doesn't look like there's much for storage.
Am I setting the bar too high?
The nc looks like a good contender if it's good on fuel.

>The nc looks like a good contender
it's also boring as shit, but the S version looks decent (at most though)

>Not including glorious flat 6 goldwing
All other commuter bikes bow down to the goldwing

Imperial or US?

Captcha related

it's not a commuter if you literally can't even filter past two other motorcycles

the NC750 will get 60 MPGUS easy. It's a bit pigfat though.

Nothing but the NC will get that.

With an integrated drive shaft!

Talking US mpg here. The nc700 looks like it will do that, with great storage.
I don't mind it being boring, I have a cbr600rr for the weekends. I just needed something to kill the dead miles from work and home And the occasional long trip.

hey /dbt/

Any good youtubers to watch?

44teth is literally the best motorcycling youtube channel

What do you guys think of the GSX-R750? I'm looking at one in the area because the insurance for the bike I want (GSX-S1000) is ridiculously expensive because it's a new bike.

Just get a bike already Zach jeez

Good bikes, but why buy new? Especially if you're worried about insurance prices. Just pick up a used liter. Problem solved

>called CL guy about buying his bike
>still available, meet me at noon
>only 20 minutes away
>get there a few minutes before noon
>someone else showed up before me to test ride it
>they dropped it. Didn't buy after arguing with the guy.
>I'm not buying it with the damage done to it
Shit it made my day worse but that seller got the bad end.
>always cash in hand for test rides.

Not Zach!

No good liter bikes in the area unfortunately, and the 750 I am interested in is an 06. I will keep my eyes peeled for a good liter bike, but this will be my first supersport, coming from a 01 SV650

never thought about that honestly
fuck
poor guy

YO, BIMOTAAAAA
