WELL I'M SURE THIS WILL END WELL

I'M SURE IT WILL JUST BE SOME TERRIBLE CAR DRIVING CAUSING A MINOR ACCIDENT

OH NOW HE'S ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD I'M SURE THAT NOTHING BAD WILL COME OF THIS HIGHLY INTELLIGENT INDIVIDUAL!

...

All bikers are idiots one way or another.

Bring back 2-stroke sportbikes

>tfw I just put my beloved SV up for sale to finance my MT09

I'll own a NSR250R one day. Mark my words, familia.

One day.

The exact same progession as me

Noice

Old bike

I dont even really like yellow, they just kind of both ended up that way

I'll miss her, great first bike.

But I'm driving longer tours now with my dad (who I also got into the hobby) and the ergonomics wreak havoc on my knees.

The MT is the only naked that seems to fit me (aside from the 1290R, but that's a few years away)

New rider here, is there an Veeky Forums-approved list of good beginner bikes?

>euro any
>fun
Lel

I know a guy who had one and took it to 300cc.
then he sold it for a Honda RS250

Its a good bike for that. This is from a 15 hour day I did, Im tall so theres no way it could have happened on the SV. It a good bike

Rode that fucker all the way down.

...

I was especially surprised just how comfy the stock seat was. I had to ask the clerk twice because I could not believe that wasn't the comfort option

Kauf meine SV, besser gehts nich.

Should have leaned more

>tfw people bitch online about the awful seat but I love it

>Murray said the bike's steering locked up and caused him to lose control.

>"I was only doing, like, 40 miles per hour and I went to lean into this turn and this bike would not let lean," Murray said.

Yah I totally believe it was the bike and not the rider failing to turn harder like all the /dbt/ newbies.

Guy claims to have six years riding experience. Wonder if he was high, and how much of his experience is in riding high.

>more 90's than you can handle edition

So basically a thread for poor faggots with unsafe road junk purchased by NEET virgins using mommys retirement money

THIS is why I wear a parachute that I bought off ebay when I go riding the hilly north with thousands of metres of drops on the corners. One small move and I pull that chute and nope the fuck outta there using the wind in my sails.

is gut, Juergen

>about to hit cliff
>safer to speed up and get even more air

Exhilarating

Holy shit it actually happened once

Finally, after moving, I will have enough saved up (plus a bit of extra from school grant money) to buy a motorcycle by the end of the month. It's been 4 months since my last ride, wew so excited. And it's about to be selling season.

>2017
>Doesn't have antigrav suspension and brake system

...

Oops.

Is there a name for this style of bike? I can only assume it's a California thing

Christ burn it.

...

RIP SEF

IFAIAC the 919 doesn't quite count for 'round headlights'.

>K-konichiwa g-guys, I-I am Japanese too!

Why is that german there? What the fuck m8, I rate 8/8

Thats a beautiful pic

Runnin in the 90's ATG style.

..and i still have and fit in those leathers.

Gentleman's rocket reporting for duty.

Thank you, user, but which bike is best?

And why is pic related the answer?

/g/ here, I want to get a cbr 300 or maybe 600 as a beginner bike, why does the sticky say I shouldn't? it seems like just the RR means it is designed for experienced users. can I not get a beginner friendly cbr?

>Honda
might as well kys

The 300 is OK.

The 600 isn't.

I met the guy last week. Caught up to him in traffic while he was doing wheelies. We pulled over and chatted for a bit, dude looked high but whatever. He bought that FZ10 used and shit was falling apart on it, that's why I kinda believe him when he says something fucked up. There were literally bits coming off of the bike. Strange fellow though

What's wrong with a 600?

I want one so bad, imagine going full tuck with those fucking things right in your face, screaming through the gears to the 15k redline, all without breaking the speed limit.

Because they are incredibly unforgiving, and you will need to be forgiven.

Just do the right thing and get a 650 twin like every adult does.

Its the the cbr600f , which became the cbr650f.

Either way, the 300 is probably what you
want, great beginner bike. not sure where you're getting that you shouldn't get a cbr from, its only the 600rr that would be particularly dangerous

>you will need to be forgiven
Only if you're a retard

We have some spots around here you could do that easily, nowhere to land at the bottom of the canyon though.

SoCal maybe

or inexperienced.

If you jerk the throttle on a 600 supersport in a corner, you will highside and you may get seriously injured.
If you do it on a 650 twin you'll get scared and maybe lowside and get a bruise and a lesson about throttle control.

They're the real deal.

These 250/300/500 'sporty' bikes are nothing more than commuters with racy fairings on them but the cbr600rr and it's ilk are actual supersports and they aren't meant for the uniniciated.

Read for more in dept info.

With that said, maybe a 600 supersport from the early 90s could work. They weren't quite as 'all race bike all the time' back then from what I have been told.

Shouldn't be taking corners in a way that makes it dangerous if you're inexperienced anyways.

There is only one way to take a corner.
And you shouldn't be riding a supersport either.

How would you know it's dangerous if you're inexperienced?

thats also something im considering
>not sure where you're getting that you shouldn't get a cbr from, its only the 600rr that would be particularly dangerous
>
>WELL, I WANT TO START ON A CBR...
>Don't... These bikes do not tolerate mistakes

That was built by Loosespokz, North Carolina. It's their sort of thing.

loosespokz.com/

That's referring to the CBR600RR and fireblade, which are the supersports.

Ah, so when you pull up to a 300lb niggress on her stretched busa you have a chance at getting your dick wet once/if you get past the fupa.

>Taking the twisties
dangerous
>regular city roads
not dangerous
Easy as fuck to figure that out. And if you high side turning into a parking lot or onto a new road, then you weren't meant to ride a bike anyways.

i fukt ur mom faggit

I dunno, whatever it is they do in NC

Just amused that the assumption was that these are California bikes.

I'm not that user. But when I was just starting out a few years ago(by starting out, I mean a week into riding my ninja500), my dad told me to ride his gxr to the shop because he was at work and couldn't do it, and I had no problems with it because I'm not a retard.

600 super sports got their reputation as being cruel to newbies due to all the Icy Hot Stuntaz going all street-Rossi the first day they got their bikes.

Okay, thanks for the clarification

ffs anons you can't have a 90's bike thread without the damn 916. It's arguably the best looking bike of the 90's, maybe even in the whole history of bikes.

I also know people who started on 1000cc supersports and never had a crash either.

Of course it's possible, but thats not the average experience.

>implying implications

> 916

B-but it says 996?

>those headlights
>undertail exaust

No

996 is based on the 916.

Does anyone know what helmet this is? Went to the flat track races and they kept playing this HD commercial and I really like the helmet the rider is wearing.

what is this bike called?

>riding R1200R around town
>go past pedestrian cross walk
>hear girl comment 'wow thats a big bike'

I believe that's Harley's new Street Rod.

...

This user is correct. The new HD Street Rod 750.

Still hoping for source on the helmet. Or a helmet similar with an extra large face sheild but still has a chin bar. I don't want a 3/4 helmet which is the only stuff I can seem to find that is 'close' to this styling.

What is the best engine configuration for a touring bike?

>riding WR450 around town
>pass anyone ever
>constantly hear "do a wheelie"
I swear, its every single person
I dont whoolie for morons

Thank you for acknowledging my exactitude, my good sir.

However, since this is a PR shot for the bike, we can only assume that the rider is clad in HD gear.

This is the helmet:

Post pics of WR.

I got it user

I like the look and style of café racers and the aesthetic that goes with it.
Make fun of me.

Thanks my man. Your ability to use reason is far beyond that of my own. Here's a pic as a token of my gratitude.
