holy fuck thats disgusting hell no you fucking proletarian cretin.

Illegal for road use around here, and it doesn't do anything for me. I'd say no.

HELL NO

Yes. fuck it, it's your bike

way to crash an r3 fag

Does that bike look crashed to u? Huh gay boy?

Are you old or a nigger?

Yeah

Way to crash an 749 fag

maybe i will i guess but i just want to experience different styles of bikes. I feel like im ready for a liter. Im no stranger to a bike at this point, so now i dont feel as hesitant unlike when i started out.

the first part of this is retarded to include, someone was saying they want a DS with abs, like what the fuk
Also I was going too fast either way and was going off the road, so I wouldn't have locked the tire but I still would have ended up in a bush

So fuk u basically

Also should I get a third bike soon or wait til I finish school and make a bit more money

thoughts on rsv 1000?

i want to buy my first NEW bike

a 600 cc SUPER sport

why ar ethe salespeople such fucking cucks about it

>here's a cbr500 with abs you might like. it's half the price!!!
>you'll love this 300 ninja. insurance is so cheap!!

jesus FUCK noooooooooo

pic related is the bike i've been asking for by name

They're literally the best street bike you can buy in almost every way

Because it's their job to sell you shit that you'll want to trade back in for something faster in 3 months.

things that didn't happen

You're retarded, and this didn't happen.

>About 4 years ago.
>Be riding XR650L onna straight desert highway.
>About 60-70lbs of luggage on my bike.
>Bike is totally stock besides jets and airbox.
>Decide to find the top speed.
>Manage to pin the speedometer at the 115mph mark by tucking.

>Fast forward to yesterday.
>Out riding on the freeway late at night.
>Continental TKC-80 tires
>Have gone down a couple teeth on the rear for lower RPM at cruising.
>No luggage at all, just empty side racks on the bike.
>Haven't changed anything else.
>A couple of boy racers driving their cars at ~95mph pass me.
>Decide it's as good a time as any to test again.
>Bike wont climb above 94-95mph at full wide open throttle.

What's going on here? Am I just running out of power at a lower speed with the new final drive ratio? Do I need to check my plugs to make sure I'm not running lean / rich (I live at a slightly lower elevation now and haven't re-jetted)? Is my top end finally wearing out and I'm losing compression which is killing my power output? Are my new tires slowing the bike down or something?

The bike is running just fine as far as I can tell, but I was kind of surprised.

You're talking about salesmen at a dealership, right?

Normally they'll happily sell you the most expensive bike you want. The only thing I can guess is that they've got too many starter bikes and they can't get rid of them.

t. never shopped for a new supersport

i havent been coming here too often now and i'm pretty glad about that.

it's been sunny all week i've been riding and chasing these curves every chance i get before it pours like a motherfucker out here.

i think this is what's happening

they don't have the 2017 cbr 600 which is what i want

???

Is it a podunk dealership? Why wouldn't they have the newest year model of an extremely popular bike?

A less retarded, childish story would have been

>Go into dealer.
>They don't have the bike I'm looking for.
>They try to sell me bikes they actually have in stock.

And everyone would have gone "of course you fucking retard, it's a dealer".

should i buy a bike and then take lessons, or take lessons and then buy a bike?

I bought my bike new and you're full of shit.

Take lessons and then buy a bike.

You'll have experience and a better idea of what you actually want in a bike instead of just a bunch of ideas and no experience.

Gay faggot cuckold sissy numale
Go back to crashing cars

it's happened at more than one dealer though

it's getting fucking old

i didn't think so
guy told me he might have them "in crates"

also, i look like a poorfag when i go in there because i go after work and i'm all dirt and sweaty

jokes on them, i'm paying cash

lmao someones mad

>He doesn't know and hate Jewish fireblade user

could be the tires, greater rolling resistance can have a huge effect.

or you gained 75 lbs

>not loving fireblade

cheers

how do wearing eyeglasses and motorcycle helmets work? i hate contacts, they're so expensive

better you than me

try a helmet on with the glasses
i have good vision but always wear sunnys under mine

brother

you mean sunglasses? i'm sure they're bulkier than the glasses i wear so i don't feel so nervous about it then. i'm going to sign up for riding lessons at the local community college soon and they want you to bring your own helmet anyways

I weigh about the same as I did then, maybe 5-10lbs heavier at most, so that's definitely not it.

The tires might have something to do with it. Back when I hit the 115 mark I had cheap Shinko 700 dual sport tires that were much less aggressive that the Contis.

>Put on helmet.
>With visor open, put on glasses by slipping the supports in between your head and the helmet padding.

I wear sunglasses under my helmet all the time this way.

I wear glasses in a helmet (Bell RS-1) and it's fine, though kind of a PITA sometimes in wet conditions. Might be worth trying helmets with your glasses on before buying, but lots of helmets are designed to accommodate sunglasses anyway, so it's not that big a deal.

Would like to get laser surgery sometime but it's scurry. Implantable contact lenses seem like a better technology but cost literally 2x as much.

yeah sunglasses
try the helmet on with the glasses and when you find one you like wear it for a while and see if it starts to pinch your skull behind your ears. because that can happen and it's the worst

>Would like to get laser surgery sometime but it's scurry. Implantable contact lenses seem like a better technology but cost literally 2x as much.
my eyes are so fucked it's beyond the reach of lasik. implantable contact lenses look like where it's at. no real damage to the eye from them

Put helmet on
Put glasses on
That's it.

yeah, I'm borderline with lasik afaict. PRK would be fine (for me, maybe also for you) plus you don't have the corneal flap, but I agree that ICLs make more sense.

>don't need to re-jet after installing pod filters

nice tricolor familia

i just put a tube sock over my k&n and my rich running carbed bike runs fine now

ty bb

so you don't then?

>extremely popular bike
Haha what? My closest Honda dealership brought in one 2016 and as of a month ago it still hadn't sold. Nobody buys them new.

this dude at my internship is too much. i tell him i'm saving up to buy a hayabusa and it was once the fastest in the world, and he says he's going to get a kawasaki ninja. he always needs to one up someone even if it's total bullshit

What levers are those?

Get a gsx-r750 bro

Is there a good starter bike that won't feel slow and weak after a week of riding it?

There is no 2017 cbr600rr
Dont keep up on moto news eh?

r3/sv650/cb500f/cb600f

>Yuropoors
Did you not notice that colour scheme wasn't offered in any previous year?

You probably think they don't make MC41s anymore too.

asv

any of you niggas own kevlar riding jeans?

Why is everyone so hostile here?

motorcyclenews.com/news/2016/june/honda-cbr600rr-killed-off/

Incidentally though
>that feel when you would totally buy one of these new even though it will be slower than a 2007 because of living out your childhood desire to have a first gen CBR600RR when it was the first MotoGP era replica bike

mark my words, 90's bikes are going to make a big comeback soon.

Just got back from that ride, lots of neat roads and lakes

Why can't you read
powersports.honda.com/2017/cbr600rr.aspx

hngg

You clearly didnt read the article.
But what did i expect from children posting here?

>while the existing model could continue to be sold in markets unaffected by Euro4 legislation.
No user, you did not

Why you would put forth a year old British news article as having authority over Honda's own website to start with is hard to fathom.

You realize thats just a 2016 with updated graphics?
Those bikes dont sell. No one wants to carry them. They have a lot left over from 2016

>he didnt read the part about NO ONE WANTS THEM.

I love this bike.
RF tail conversion coming Monday ;)

Sweet cafe bike bro

C-can 80's bikes come too?
>tfw too scared of buying a 30 year old money pit

i want one!

but dealers keep trying to sell me 500s and 350s insted

Considering the average biker wants an extension of their penis or to not die

>why would i get a 600 when the liter is only 50lbs heavier and has higher benchracer numbers
>why would i get a 600 when everyone tells me they're the deadliest bikes ever when the 250/300 is clearly enough who really "NEEDS" to be faster than a civic anyways?

The CBR650F is a better bike.
Or get the 1000.
Or dont be a douche and dont buy a modern cafe bike with more power than you could ever hope to use on the street.

What?
If your 300 is slower than a civic, you have major issues

>Why is everyone so hostile here?
welcome to dbt

actually, welcome to Veeky Forums

really makes u think

I have multiple 80's bike and none of them are money pits.

That's why they don't stock them, it doesn't mean they don't exist.

>Being this yuropoor
Even the former queens land is getting them

motorcycle.honda.ca/model/sport/cbr600rr/2017

I try to keep my pants off, makes it easier to cum

Damn skip son

I have Dainese Bonneville riding jeans
They're pretty good

It's like a tesla

It's all fun and games until 60, and then you're slow and that VTEC kiddo is still pulling.

higher peak numbers normally means higher numbers most everywhere else

so if you buy a more powerful bike you will benefit from it. there is no such thing as "you won't use all that power". just "you won't use all that power when the cops are looking".

the japanese motorcycles have software speed restrictions on them right? nothing mechanical? i don't imagine it has a usb, so how do you access the software to change it?

>tfw better looking than everyone itt

Bukkake the ECU

Go away Jesus, you're dead.

>this is what sideways faggots actually believe

only bikes that can go past 300km/h afaik.

reflashing the ECU.

>Topsy turvy femme looking faggots actually believe this.
