>starting on a 600c

I am starting on a 125cc :(

700

>buy 125cc
>ride for about a month
>get bored of it
>sell and buy a bigger bike
I will never get why anyone gets below 500 minimum, 600 is a great starter

Because my country loves me and takes care of me and won't let me out on a big boy bike

lmao @ yurope

New Harley Heritage Classic looks surprisingly good.

Is Harley, dare I say, learning?

*laughs internally*
>Because my country loves me and takes care of me
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA

>My country loves me and daddy takes care of me an only beats me and sometimes lets me kiss his boots I love daddy so much!

Fuck off euro

Or post boipussy thats good too.

but you're wrong

is harley officially desperate enough to shill on a mongolian finger puppet imageboard yet?

Question: How do I get the bike from the dealership to my home if the only riding experience I have is the MSF course? Dealership that has the bike I want is an hour away and I don't know anyone else that rides.

Yes

what's it like to ride a motorbikesickle in the snow isn't it really dangerous and scary

I hope you're baiting

Do you not feel ready to ride it home?

Obviously, I'm fucking miserable on my 125cc

i started on a honda shadow 600

if you have self-control you can handle something bigger than a 250 just fine.

Keep it low in the gears and on the throttle and you should be fine. The GSXS feels pretty neutered compared to the R

on icy roads it is practically impossible without studded tires.
A dirt bike on snowy dirt is fine because the knobs can still dig in somewhat.

How long ago did you take the MSF? Did you not retain everything you learned?

What reason would I need to get a bike bigger than 650cc?

to btfo supercars or to be as loud as fucking possible

My friend cut his exhaust in halve and the noise is so beautiful

Don't feel like I'm ready to take it on the highway. Took the class a couple weeks ago, but would really like some time to get used to the bike.

because you are a pussy and dont like shifting when cornering.

Basically people who would be better off riding autotragic

whiskey throttle it into the most expensive car in the parking lot, preferably the sales manager's

I bought a bike today and they delivered it to me for free, but I like 15 minutes away. The dealership will probably deliver it, but because you're far you're gonna have to pay extra. I would not suggest riding home with no experience. Even an MSF course is only taken in a parking lot, a highway is a lot different. You can also go to UHAUL and rent a truck.

If possible take the scenic route instead, longer to get home but way more enjoyable. Highway riding sucks unless your goal is to just hammer down on the throttle anyway which I´m assuming as a noob you won´t do

Man, some people have all the fun.

>install bar risers on brand new bike
>worried that cables will be too tight
It seems ok, but i can't stop worrying

how many mpg would you say those things get?
(Assuming running it constantly with no pedaling)

Rate these brands out of 10

All for different reasons. I just love bikes, ok user?

I like the uhaul idea, might end up doing that.

try to pick it up on a slow traffic day if there is one. literally just ride it around the block near the dealers a bunch of times till you get a little comfortable.
then slowly make your ride a little bigger and farther away until you get even more comfortable.
then go for it

I have been depressed since I was 14 years old.
One day I decided to buy a motorbike and there hasn't been a SINGLE day since then I have been depressed.

Wtf

>>Suzuki
>0/10
delet this

I know nothing of Suzuki but I do know its bad because you posted an anime picture and you like it

That's literally the bike I was about to get and you ruined it

it was all according to plan

why not get the 1000

try going through some twisty country roads on it where 50-60 is the fastest you can take the corners anyway its actually great fun

when I first got my 125 bike I only took it down dualcarriageways and it was just depressing being the slowest guy on the road and getting overtaken by everything, but taking back routes and slower windier roads is actually sick on it.

Fucking anime Jew girl, I would hatefuck her if I could

The kit I was looking at says 130mpg

Just get an actual motorbike

those motopeds are kind of neat though

What said

>buying a new bike for your first one
dude, just buy some shitbike to drop and fuck around on while you learn, then go and buy your new bike.

Loud as fuck. Good way to annoy your neighbours. There is a kid around here with one and he LOVES riding whenever I am trying to sleep, afternoon nap, early in the morning, doesn't matter all I hear his his loud as fuck bullshit, and my house backs onto a trainline and even a frieght train that rumbles the house isn't as annoying as the high pitch whine these fucking things make. He, and anyone else who rides one, is such a fucking faggot.

Suzuki a best

Riding the highway is easy, just stay in slow lane and hold the throttle until you reach your exit.

Now that the dust has settled. What's wrong with this bike?

>125

Considered it, but still keep hearing that it's harder to control, so I figured I would be better off with the 750.

How many times must I tell you all, I'm British!!

Ride it around the sidestreets around the dealership then ride it home. Alternatively hire a van, they usually aren't much for a few hours, tie it all up nicely.

Ideally you want someone with experience to ride it before you and then they can tell you things to look out for.

it needs 8x the CC to be any good

10/10 Kawasaki a Best

>one hundred and twenty five cee cees

There's literally no reason to go above 60mph

Having a good time is reason enough for me

but there are good reasons to reach that speed in a timely manner

police aren't allowed to follow you past 120 I think

>0.22 pints

Yeah but your motor runs hot, your ass gets sore and your arms feel like jelly if you ride at your top speed for a while.

the duke looks better

moo

Show me the duke

>tfw shitbike wont run

Too plasticky. Bland styling. Bikes like these are sold in my country and I honestly miss the older, more classic/standard look that they had.

Huh... makes you think

Can anyone tell me what bike this is?

It was stolen in my town yesterday and I'd like to know exactly what to look for if I think I see it.

I thought it might look like a kawi but I'm not sure.

2005 ish R1 i believe

Kawasaki doesnt tilt their engines like that, thats a yamaha thing.

Pre 09 r1 with a normal inline 4 engine firing order.

What's the maintenance on an H2 like? They're not even THAT expensive..

hey thats me

>25.000 bucks bike is not expensive

Aside from special edition superbikes im pretty sure its one of the most expensive production bikes you can get.

and now they got the carbon thats over 30.000

Nah Aprilia RSV4 FW GP is 150k

cant you read? that IS a special edition superbike.

How is that special edition? You can order it right now

Special edition doesn't mean you can't buy it, dumbass.

because its a special edition of a RSV4? The fuck is hard to understand about that?

youre 18 right? what 125 are you on?

discord.gg/Rj6YCcA
this is the only disc Im in thats dbt related idk if there are others

So what does it mean?

Yeah but that's like the price of a shitty BRZ or something.. I know which one I would rather have.

It's a special production line that aren't as numerous as their usual models.

Thats why they're expensive.

There are but very strict invitation quotas
