How come this bike looks like a mini japanese harley davidson and what kind of bike is it?
Adrian Cox
It literally says Honda cm250 on it bruh
Logan Diaz
Are kevlar jeans Veeky Forums? Post the best looking ones.
Evan Bennett
Because it kinda sorta was. '82 Honda CM250C. Was made '81-84, and was the most direct predecessor to the CMX250 Rebel which went until last year.
Michael James
I really like it.
It looks like a little Japanese fake harley,
Alexander Martinez
>little Japanese fake harley That's exactly what it is
Parker Bell
Would it be expensive to have the engine for one of those rebuilt?
Ayden Smith
Waiting on these in the mail Tried them in a store and they were 10/10 comfy And they make my butt look smashing
Lincoln Phillips
Not sure what you consider Veeky Forums, but I like Draggin' Jeans. Pretty standard look in 14.5 ounce denim (heavy side of mid-weight denim) with Kevlar aramid in the knees, hips and ass. Also have removable CE level II knee and hip protectors. 100% made in America (shop is here in Minneapolis).
Gavin Bennett
Why is it that harley riders hate Japanese cruiser bikes such as honda shadows and yamaha v stars so much?
Grayson Powell
The Venn graph showing Harley fanbois and MADE IN THE USA fanbois has a significant amount of overlap.
Lincoln Ramirez
Is it stupid to put down a non refundable £200 deposit to secure the bike I really, really want when its not guaranteed I will pass my motorcycle test?
Evan Long
venn graph?
Dominic Stewart
Is it a rare bike that you wont find anymore?
Nicholas Walker
I got these.
Yeah they look good with a leather jacket and are absolutely perfect for hot dry summers.
Gavin Cox
MUH ALL AMERICAN MACHINE it really is just brand wars. Harley got BTFO by Nippon and are incredibly salty Cruiserfags hate harleyfags Everyone hates harleyfags Harleyfag hates everyone
Aiden Torres
Venn diagram, excuse me.
Joseph King
still getting a new cb500f for my first bike
very excited
Blake Garcia
no not super rare, but its not a common sight either it being a Triumph. Its at such a good deal though which is mainly why I want to secure this particular one.
My instructor has one and said its a really great bike.
Parker Young
Parts expensive: Not really. I pulled together a complete rebuild kit for about $200. Labor expensive: Nothing special. They are pretty damned simple, if you've rebuilt a lawnmower engine you could handle it yourself. Time expensive: Potentially. That complete rebuild kit I mentioned above included hard parts coming slow-boat from Taiwan, bearings from Vietnam, and gaskets from Italy.
Carson Gomez
because they're not real bikes
Matthew Nelson
My uncle had a midlife crisis and started dressing all rockabilly style.
He got a tattoo and a yamaha v star but eventually traded it in for a Harley because of all dnarly comments about it being a Japanese bike.
Wyatt Watson
Snarky*
Jace Torres
Same thing happened to my uncle I actively reroute if i see him in traffic And i ride a fucking nipcruiser >he bought a harley with a sidecar
Ayden Adams
Did he use the sidecar for transporting anything other than cute doggos? If so, you are totally in the right for avoiding him.
Luis Reyes
Thank you!
Eli Parker
Under Armour as bike boots. Yay or Nay?
Caleb Rivera
nay
Gavin Campbell
His wife or his two kids >whom arent his because lolnosperm >cucked by sperm donor I love my lil cousins and the fact that they aren't related to him pleases me greatly
Joseph Walker
But why not get a jap and murican cruiser?
Zachary Young
Just because it has Armour in the name doesn't mean it will save your feet from being crushed to salsa in a crash.
Justin Miller
>edgy
Brandon Nelson
Do as you want then. If you can spare those 200, go ahead. If not, just wait. There are lots of good bikes out there.
Blake Campbell
Nah hes a decently big cunt, wife is miserable, barely raises the kids. Most of the family despise him
Hunter Thomas
>Harley
Parker Jones
Don't mind me, just posting my bike. You may do the same.
Nolan Murphy
>tfw you got pretty wasted the other night and find a business card of a tattoo parlor in your pocket with a note describing the Honda wings logo you wanted on your shoulder
I really dodged a bullet there... I might have to give up drinking.
Luis Flores
noice
Aiden Murphy
>honduh
Ryan Jones
The ones they hate are straight up clones like the suzuki intruder and cheap crap with inline-two engines.
Goldwings, vmaxes, etc actually hold some respect because they are top of the line shit that competes directly with HD while having their own distinct image, history, and culture instead of bikes that sort of look like harleys from 30 feet away.
HD riders don't even hate sportbikes. It's intruding on their turf that pisses them off, and rightfully so. Everyone is like that in a way. Want to piss of a sportbike rider? Get out a cafe racer and say "these were actual sportbikes, all sportbikes are cafe racers. we are the same, brother".
>REEE NOOOOOOO CAFE RACERS WERE CHEAP BRITISH KNOCKOFFS OF ACTUAL RACE BIKES DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THE CB750 WAS NOOOO YOU DON'T CALL ME COUSIN BUT CALL ME BROTHER AND I WILL CLUB YOU OVER THE HEAD WITH A GOPRO AND POST IT ON YOUTUBE >"broth-" >CRAZY! Road ragers vs bikers compilation DUDE GETS FUCKIN KNOCKED OUT (the 10 reasons you should buy a gopro).wmv
Justin Cox
Checked for any Harley tattoos?
Daniel James
Gw isn't a cruiser
Andrew Bailey
>Honda wings tattoo jesus christ how horrifying
Jordan Sanchez
my neighbour has an old pan european, it looks good from the back and sides and fucking ugly from the front.
Ian Adams
oh.
Asher Gomez
was this a lead up to a mom joke. If so gif related
Ryan Gutierrez
retarded harley rider detected.
Mason Russell
Flames, cause it's cool.
Cooper Garcia
what kind of bike in an intruder a clone of?
Carter King
it isn't, its just salty HD faggots.
Elijah Perez
Dare I say it boys? That the africa meme is dead.
Jeremiah Peterson
>the adventure bike meme will die in your lifetime >the supermoto meme will die in your lifetime >the repliracer meme will not die in your lifetime
Andrew Anderson
Would I be retarded if I put a high mounted gas tank, ape hangers and a verticle tail pipe on a cm250?
If so why would I be retarded?
Isaac Bailey
EFI cucks wouldn't understand
Levi Moore
I'm getting myself a sports tourer.
Hunter Hill
>the powercruiser meme might ascend in your lifetime
Justin Wood
5min after I did this, my brother decided to see if he could get his bike to do it. I was like, nigga it's fuel injected. He tried anyway. The sadness on his face was golden.
Adam Ramirez
i doubt adventure bikes will ever die. people use them for an alternative to cruisers for touring and they do a pretty great job at it.
Jackson Ortiz
supersports seem to be on the decline as they're being replaced by nakeds with engines too powerful for their spaghetti chassis. ADV and supermoto still seem to be on the rise.
Lucas Moore
I've been waiting a long, long time for that meme to die.
>it's a fat sportbike >we swear it's comfy, but it's not! >comes with hard cases, only a $1000 dealer option or >it's a touring bike with aggressive looking plastics >it weighs 600lbs but we swear it can corner
Grayson Brown
Theres litterally no difference between an adventure bike or a cruiser.
Leo Turner
power cruisers rose and fell all within a decade. >tfw i have to look back to the 80s to get a muscle bike
Austin Baker
But it actually is comfy. I've ridden for hours with no butt numbness. And can still lean pretty good. It's a great all arounder
Nicholas White
Wow nothing about this wall of text is even close to being true
>HD competing with the Vmax
Made me chuckle
Isaac Thomas
This is what i'd do to a cm250
Cameron Jackson
>comfortable sports bike with luggage >HURRRR ITS NOT A REAL SPORTS BIKE
so what
Jeremiah Kelly
>dildo on the rear fender
Adam Thompson
I'm conviced that the only reason people nate cafe racers is
>Can't be seen liking the same thing hipsters like
Jacob Mitchell
It's a sissy bar you nugget
Parker Morgan
I kinda wanna agree with you, but I almost bought a bike to make it a cafe racer one time. I think it really depends on the bike and how you ride it.
Joshua Murphy
is riding a motorcycle a hipster thing to do?
Benjamin Gray
Why the fuck would you ride something sitting on tubes in 2017 if it isnt even comfortable?
I love resto-mods. Cafe racers meanwhile are just pointless.
Juan Lee
Yes.
Tyler Thomas
Is driving a car a hipster thing to do?
Aaron Moore
I think motorcycles are cool because my dad used to take me riding with him when I was a kid.
Jordan Hill
If it is I'm doing it wrong, or so was said in a previous thread. Watch, next hipster thing is gonna be hi vis, I'm just ahead of the game.
Nolan Sullivan
So a cafe race is like the lowered 1960s beetle with roof racks of the motorcyle world?
Austin Stewart
I ride bikes because I'm an angsty faggot and need to work on that
Julian Thomas
sissy numale dildo riding faget
Kevin Wood
If you remove the rear seats and add a racing steering wheel yes.
Jack Hill
>Implying that's a bad thing in 2017
Alexander Smith
Just fucking buy it, find someone to drive it to your place.
Jonathan Foster
>liter vtwin what do you have? panigale?
Anthony Price
Are engine swaps a thing with bikes like they are with cars?
Asher Garcia
Way harder to do, the frame has to support it -wich will almost never happen- and the weight and vibes problems that might arise discourage many from attempting such.
Jacob Jackson
you should talk to a shrink about that yes, stay away from bikes it's for cool and hip people only
Colton Torres
Has it ever been done though?
Christopher Fisher
of course, slowpoke
Jose Perry
Built a motorized bicycle and suddenly I want something that isn't completely gutless and can actually make it more than three miles before breaking down, I like cruisers and don't want to spend more than 1800, maybe 2000.
What are my options? I like the Rebel but the guys in my shop say a 250 will bore me to tears and cannot into highways, so I'm thinking a Shadow or Kawasaki Vulcan 500. What else is out there for me? Do I need the bike to get my license or should I get the license first?
Christian Hughes
>talk to your shrink about your father sharing his hobbies with you
Magna. License before bike. It'll make the whole experience less stressful if you're dropping somebody else's machine. I think motorbikes are cool because my father refused to let me ride pillon. And after indoctrinating my nephew, I will refuse to let him ride. Thus completing the cycle.
