REPOSTAN

Aye, '82 Honda CM250C in Roseville.

How much would it really cost suzuki to put a decent swingarm on this pos.

Moments before I spilled my spaghetti

They need to fix the fact that it's a pigfat gutless sack of shit. It's a 750 that falls short of the standard 600s.

Shitty op

Was fitting bar end mirrors today but got no decent shots with them on, so here it is with the bar ends off waiting for them.

Huh, don't know why that's showing sideways, shows right way up everywhere else, oh well.

Fuck, I didn't even notice.

Thanks for pointing it out, famalam.

bags look ugly and make the bike look huge n bulky

There used to be a waterproof bag inside the left hand fairing for an insurance card or what not, but it is long gone.

Color me jealous.

Redpill me on the FZ10 bros

johnny five is alive! BRRAAAPP

Rework all the bodywork and it could be good.

It's as good a bike as it is ugly, i.e absolutely fucking hideous but a superb bike to ride.

I want to buy a bike but it has this skull on the sides of it

It's not bad is it?

I saw the bike, I see you're in the UK, if you get a bike with that on, you're dead to all of your fellow countrymen.

Use a heat gun and peel off the stickers. Use that as an argument to lower the price.

looks better in reality, sounds superb.

I see you and raise.

Thats "Pure 2 Stroke Spirit" on the tail..

beneath the track rash from my lowside on 10 year old jdm tires :)

Ah! I see he ended it and then put it back on

Spooky Skeleton

National Socialist Skeleton

Pussies, it's not like it's a swastika

SS Panzer Division Totenkopf
The emblem is mirrored for some reason.

I don't know the meaning, it just looks retarded.

Got a new baiku, my first baiku.

On the fence about removing the those wheel striping stickers though. Looks cheap.

Any thoughts /dbt/ ?

Wheel stripes are neat

Fucking noice m8.

I wish they would bring the Tiger Sport to the US.

Have a pic of my old 1050

Neat, i'll have that.

What's going on with that stovepipe by the way.

nobike noob here
why are the front tires usually thinner than the rears

easier to rotate

Google it you lazy shit.

hey boys, looking to get my first bike and I found a used CBR250 with 5k miles on it for $2.5k. only 19, so the insurance might be shit for a while, but should I go for it?

Remus Powercone

Godly sound but if you have panniers it'll cook whatever's in the bottom of the right one kek.

Why are the rear tires larger than the front ones on a RWD high performance car?

Anyone else have the balls of feet/just the tip toes on the footpegs?

I find its more stable and easier to control like this.

What's the deal with why a dingy little cbr 250rr looks so good and all other new hondas so bad.

And airplane food, what about that

Buy it and ride it with pride

It looks alright, but I don't like how angular and edgy it is. The 600 is still their best looking baiku.

Nice,

she treat you right while you had her?

I was told that's how its supposed to be done with most of your weight on the balls of your feet to get your bikes suspension to work properly

guess so,

beats fiddling with carbs on the ninja, and those new 300's go for a bit more i reckon.

Maybe get a duke 390?

>tfw I only weigh 58kg so it doesn't take much power for the bike to move when I ride it

Not quite, user. Not quite.

>tfw 125kg
>bike pulls hard anyways
That looks great, but I have a thing for sport bikes. I never even looked twice at the stock cb1100, it's amazing how chrome ruins the looks of a bike.

>air cooled inline four
Does it melt in traffic?

>it's amazing how chrome ruins the looks of a bike
Literal shit tier opinion. The only reason not to have chrome on a bike is if it's a motorsport machine and will get scratched up anyway.

The only issue I ever had with it was the front sprocket nut coming loose. On the old ones they didn't torque it right or something from the factory so you just have to torque it to spec and it's good. Happened to me on a trip, came loose but not off. It'e a huge nut so I had no tools to fix it and it was fine for the rest of the trip just made a little knocking noise occasionally.

Oh and the plastic brake reservoir eventually got brittle and cracked so I replaced it with the Triumph aluminum one.

I kinda miss the big triple desu

Where can i get a mechanic's onesie?

>duke 390
damn, those look pretty nice but is the insurance or maintenance better than the CBR? can't find anything lower than $3.4k used on cycletrader, and they're going for more on Craigslist.

>pride
You mean Ehre, you fucking casul.
>it's not like it's a swastika
No, it's just an SS Totenkopf.
Retard.

What you got now?

Big triple is lovely, pulls like a stabbed ape. And a nice big powerband.

>Brake reservoir

That's how they get you. Those triumph accessoires are hella expensive.

youtube.com/watch?v=R3CJAlncJ98

Fuck, these were cool.

Probably not but they did ok in the 50.000 mile endurance test by Motorrad mag. Look it up.

Is it possible to remove an oil pressure switch without draining the oil?

It's called a speed suit. Or a romper if that's more your thing.

You forgot to add that it sounds fucking GLORIOUS m8.

They truly are. I actually bought a Rizoma one to save a couple bucks but the plastic reacted with the brake fluid [on a brake fluid reservoir?] and cracked leaving me to improvise a reservoir during a trip. SO I decided to just shell out for the Triumph one.

I have this now. It fits my riding better but on the highway hauling ass I always miss the 1050.

Kek.

Gonna have to tell the gf she she bought a bukkakebike.

I thought I covered that with godly sound but I suppose it can be reiterated kek. I still want a hexacone for the 800 but man they are $$$$$

Here's my improvised brake fluid reservoir.

I didn't think there was quite enough explanation for the sound. kek

lol @ 10 year jdm's.
My old kr-1s had 11 year old Dunlop's on it when I bought it. I also rode them at the track...luckily I didn't crash. They still had plenty of grip tho.

That's not even half bad.

I have been waiting on an exhaust for a month now on this piece of shit.

duluth checking in

Anyone here has experience with Yamaha TDM 900?
Sold my bike and thinking of buying TDM

>first sunny day in a month
>Going to hit canyons for a few hours
>Getting new music on Spotify
Life is good

It worked out pretty well. I considered keeping it on there.

I wish I would have done an exhaust vid with a proper mic.

Damn I need an exhaust for the 800

For anybody wondering, it is possible, no oil leaked out.

Good job user.

I remember there was a huge safety issue with this bike, something along the lines of the front wheelrandomly losing traction, but they might have fixed it after the 850

I still have a low oil pressure light at idle though so I kinda wanna throw myself off the nearest bridge

What bike, year, mileage.

Yeah; my GoPro (RIP) couldn't catch enough of it when I was pulling chase one the way back up Sunspot Highway. I'll try to dig up those clips; I remember one of your filenames from that day was "defs_not_speeding.webm" or something similar. Lol

Yep kek. Last time I rode up sunspot it was on the KDX after that hard crash and failed attempt to finish the Rim Trail.

Oh yeah I didn't have a GoPro yet. You had me in your mirrors on your cam.

yeah

amazingly comfortable and got plenty of power for everything you ever need. Quite heavy though.

Yeah I have a couple webs from that day

Tuono, 2007, and 42 000km

Runs fine besides that though, might throw in a new oil filter and oil and see if that solves anything.

this

or this?

This.

no, this

No this

Tuono, what the hell kind if question is that?

cute baiku
