My Aprilia I pray that yours may someday find solace
David Campbell

Adrian King
Pretty much every tire has strips like that on the front tho
Justin Taylor
If you exclude the compression artifacts the grey stuff is because i just came out of a concrete parking lot
Matthew Johnson

Jordan Bennett
I was testing a hook up system for aluminum shit, but then the shitty basket started to grow on me It's decently comfy and hold things in even at highway speeds

I want to wash my bike. Can I use the high-pressure water in fuel stations? If not, is there a product that can wash all-surface? I don't mind washing it by hand but I dont wan't to buy too much products.
Isaiah Foster
What's the most reliable, dependable, robust, easy-to-maintain, bulletproof 125 out there? Looking to buy a 125 motorbike (no scooters, sorry) for a business and it has to be bombproof. It will be getting crash bars and anything else I can think of to protect it.
I'm thinking pic related but open to suggestions
Mason Hall
Don't make excuses. Trust your tires, develop feel and learn to get low. Nice bike. Make it happy.
Just hand wash, it doesn't take long. Regular car soap works fine on fairings, frame, engine, all parts. Wash the body first and then use a separate cloth soaked kerosene to scrub the wheels and chain areas with grime then hose off kerosene and wash same areas with soapy water with the same cloth. Do not contaminate the cloth used for paint with dirty water used to clean wheels etc.
I don't like the high pressure washer on anything painted but it probably doesn't hurt too much. carefully for stickers
needed: 2 cloths, optional scotch scrubber for thick grime bottle of detergent/soap, bottle of kerosene bucket water
It seems the one used by all the riding schools I've seen so either Honda is good supportive or they are hard to break. What is the business?
Eli Gomez
cr sumo? they're just loud and consume a lot, but they are bomb proof
Logan Walker
you're retarded my dude
Alexander Ross
>Should I put water in impossible to reach areas that will never dry I dunno lemme think about it
Justin Cook
I'm(OP) and I'm always scared of taking hard turns because Im not on track, if I do wrong I may die
Grayson White
>a 125 motorbike (no scooters, sorry) does not compute
Oliver Ross
and I have never taken hard turns before, so idk how it's done and I guess I will never know until I go on track
The bike in your pic is very much the answer, user.
Here in Brazil you can't look out of the window and not see one. Sturdy af.

Caleb Garcia
I use this on mine. Works great and kinda smells nice. Use it on my helmet as well
Justin Gomez
Local dealership is gonna have a nice little group ride Sunday. Im pretty sure it'll be 90% old people. Buuuut ill go cuz why the fuck not. Enjoy some scenic riding and maybe learn something cool from older gents.
Angel Reed
i spray wash mine. just avoid the ectronics as much as possible and lube the chain each time.
Zachary Lopez
>put bike in neutral >still sounds angry
Grayson Barnes
Unless you do gymkhana on nearly solid suspension you'll never get rid of those The shivvy is now in full tour trim, springs ready to caress my buttocks, i ain't gonna crash it before SEM
Colton Watson
I am only getting 33mpg on my R1200R what am I doing wrong? Everyone else claims to get 50+
Adrian Taylor
You bought a liter, they're liars
Ayden Reyes
I did 80 miles today and the bike drank 9 litres, that's shocking.
Adrian Bennett
besides, bikes are designed to get wet the only problem is that they're designed to be wet by rain which goes in spots that are easy to dry
Henry Wright
>miles and litres in the same sentence
Asher Cook
Wat On the shivvy i get 7.5l/100km in stop and go traffic On trips i get 4.5 - 5
Lincoln Parker
makes you think
Lucas Edwards
Maybe he's a limey
Cameron Bell
You found it.
Just be sure to get a real Honda with real Honda engine, or a decent clone like an Sym.
Logan Stewart
>thinking of learning to motorcycle >feel like I'm not a good driver >if I do something bad on a motorcycle it'd be worse
what do
Nathaniel Flores
Get good nigga! And don't skimp on gear. DAINESE EVERYTHING!!!
Benjamin Torres
get gud there's no other way
Anthony Thomas
you might be better on a motorcycle desu, it will force you to pay attention. That is unless you normally freeze up while driving or are always stressed and white knuckle driving.
Lucas Jones
How do I learn to wheelie and escape my feelies? Just fuck around in a parking lot at night?
Michael Ross
I wonder if it's possible to stop this bike from looking so ugly.
Matthew Kelly
I guess the best way to put it is I get told I drive too cautiously. Or told I drive too slow when I go 5~ over the speedlimit instead of 10+ like everyone I know.
Caleb Fisher
New pipe and spoked wheels. Basically make it look like a classic one.
If I rev up to 9K Revs in neutral and then slowly release my clutch, will this damage it.
This is opposed to starting from 0 revs and accelerating and letting go of the clutch gradually together.
Austin Baker
no because your bike is in neutral :^)
Asher Diaz
>own an SV650 for a year >first bike, bretty gud >test ride a Super Duke 1290R today, basically on a dare >kinda nervous >It's amazing
Honestly, I did not expect this. People call it "The Beast" like it's gonna kill you if you look at it funny, but it was easy to cruise in traffic and the throttle was smooth as butter.
Sure, if you gun it the front wheel will come up just from sheer power (I never popped a wheelie before desu) but even that is not scary. The whole bike just gives you so much confidence.
If you ever get the chance to ride one, do it.
Matthew Collins
I like it
Ian King
Straight handlebars instead of raised.
Nathaniel Hughes
I've only owned carbed bikes. Is EFI better in every way?
Alexander Carter
If you have electronic throttle, yes.
Ethan Howard
is the ZRX1100 a good bike?
Aaron Brown
>mfw my tool collection will never be complete no matter how many tools I buy
Caleb Scott
Country roads
Caleb Flores
Dad?
Cameron Baker
It's pretty good. A little heavy by modern standards, but a good redpe table bike with a good engine and lots of parts available still. Basically ZX11 engine which was one of the fastest bikes in acceleration and top speed for a long time.
Cameron Martin
Are naked bikes like the fz07 or 09 any taller than regular sport bikes? I am 6'5 and am looking for another bike besides my drz. What other bikes are suitable for tall guys besides adv bikes if there are any
Henry Scott
Yes. Im your dad. And I see you post alot in /hc/. You know, your old man liked to get blacked too back in the day!
Jayden Walker
Took my Harley out for a spin today. I gotta say it feels amazing being a part of a true American legacy.
Charles White
Same, but more reliable, cheaper, and parts aren't made in Mexico.
Aaron Lopez
>money being any object at all when dealing with a lifestyle vehicle
Noah Lopez
I see the bby troll is back
Wyatt Cox
Can I ride my DRZ for 4 hours nonstop at highway speed or will it explode?
Cameron Price
Depends, some of the early EFI stuff wasn't very good.
Almost all of the stuff today on new bike is fantastic.
Matthew Lewis
@17576364 >claims he rides american >not an Indian How sad
Samuel Roberts
My dad was still buying tools when he was 70, already had 2 huge rollaways stuffed with shit.
I have all that now plus the stuff I had collected through the years and I bought more tools yesterday.
Nathan Jones
Post pics of actual pussy.
Thomas Walker
Have at it, no problems.
Camden Murphy
Fz09 is good for tall people, Ive never sat on an fz07 so Im not sure about that.
Im 6'3 so my backs fucked after a couple hours of riding a supersport, but I can ride my fz09 all day with no issues. Its fine for tall people.
Nathaniel Rogers
fz-07 was short when I sat on it, like i'm 5'7" on a good day and I flat foot it with both feet
Samuel Phillips
Are you in Halifax ? I test rode a super Duke as well on a KTM test day, and going from a ninja 636 to that wasn't as big of a jump as I expected. That being said, I fell in love with the bike... But not he price
