First for abrilia a best borgo gane

New?
Looking for a starter bike?
>a2bikes.co.uk

thx for the recognition dio gano

My Aprilia
I pray that yours may someday find solace

why don't you lean your bike
get into the mountains more it is a lot of fun

Pretty much every tire has strips like that on the front tho

If you exclude the compression artifacts the grey stuff is because i just came out of a concrete parking lot

>those poverty panniers
nice

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

>drilled 2 drainage holes
>fill with ice
>portable beer cooler

if it's stupid and it works it's not stupid

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.

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

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?

cr sumo?
they're just loud and consume a lot, but they are bomb proof

you're retarded my dude

>Should I put water in impossible to reach areas that will never dry
I dunno lemme think about it

I'm(OP) and I'm always scared of taking hard turns because Im not on track, if I do wrong I may die

>a 125 motorbike (no scooters, sorry)
does not compute

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

It is generously
Ok explain this rubber castings

It's for a riding school

ybr or cbf

ah
then no cr sumo

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.

...

Thanks bois

I use this on mine. Works great and kinda smells nice. Use it on my helmet as well

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.

i spray wash mine. just avoid the ectronics as much as possible and lube the chain each time.

>put bike in neutral
>still sounds angry

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

I am only getting 33mpg on my R1200R what am I doing wrong? Everyone else claims to get 50+

You bought a liter, they're liars

I did 80 miles today and the bike drank 9 litres, that's shocking.

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

>miles and litres in the same sentence

Wat
On the shivvy i get 7.5l/100km in stop and go traffic
On trips i get 4.5 - 5

makes you think

Maybe he's a limey

You found it.

Just be sure to get a real Honda with real Honda engine, or a decent clone like an Sym.

>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

Get good nigga! And don't skimp on gear.
DAINESE EVERYTHING!!!

get gud there's no other way

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.

How do I learn to wheelie and escape my feelies? Just fuck around in a parking lot at night?

I wonder if it's possible to stop this bike from looking so ugly.

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.

New pipe and spoked wheels. Basically make it look like a classic one.

It's a 150, but so much better looking:

If I wanted a city runabout it's what I'd buy.

This is what a modern one looks like.

bro, just do you

Rapid acceleration at first gear.

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.

no because your bike is in neutral :^)

>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.

I like it

Straight handlebars instead of raised.

I've only owned carbed bikes. Is EFI better in every way?

If you have electronic throttle, yes.

is the ZRX1100 a good bike?

>mfw my tool collection will never be complete no matter how many tools I buy

Country roads

Dad?

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.

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

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!

Took my Harley out for a spin today. I gotta say it feels amazing being a part of a true American legacy.

Same, but more reliable, cheaper, and parts aren't made in Mexico.

>money being any object at all when dealing with a lifestyle vehicle

I see the bby troll is back

Can I ride my DRZ for 4 hours nonstop at highway speed or will it explode?

Depends, some of the early EFI stuff wasn't very good.

Almost all of the stuff today on new bike is fantastic.

@17576364
>claims he rides american
>not an Indian
How sad

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.

Post pics of actual pussy.

Have at it, no problems.

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.

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

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

>buy 50cc bike
>suddenly city driving is fun again
Goddamn these wide ass cycling lanes are comfy

...

>japscrap eternally btfo

It's okay to be a nobike cuck

I am kanker bad in the car but on the motorcycle I am very good. You might be the same.

You'd know, scooterboi
