>suzuki
Wouldnt be a decent deal even if it was free

no it should be 2-2.5k

Suzuki a shit

I'm new to bikes, so what's wrong with Suzuki?

I see a lot of people recommending the SV 650s. What are the issues with them?

I'm gonna get my endorsement soon

is this a bad starter bike and or deal?

tampa.craigslist.org/hdo/mcy/d/1984-honda-interceptor/6314533213.html

Its a poorly built bike.
Suzuki is known for poor build quality, being heavy, being under powered, and just falling apart.
The other 3 jap companies all make better bikes in the same class

>want the indian scout ftr1200
>still in concept phase

they're bargain bin bikes, and you get what you pay for.

Where does honda rank on the jap reliability

...

Honda is fine

Can't go wrong with a 97 zx6r for those square headlights

What do you fellows use to listen to music while you ride?

I am opposed to running earbuds down to my pocket

...

you a shit

The reliability ratings are based on failure rates for 4-year-old bikes:

Yamaha/Star (11 percent failure rate)
Honda (12 percent)
Kawasaki (15 percent)
Harley-Davidson (26 percent)
Ducati (33 percent)
BMW (40 percent)
Suzuki (99 percent)

>Suzuki (99 percent)
Source?

I wear custom molded earplugs when I ride, and listen to music through my Sena. I have the BAKA 10r, the low profile one. You can see it on my helmet. Before you order one make sure your helmet has the indentations to install the speakers.

consumerreports.org/cro/news/2015/04/who-makes-the-most-reliable-motorcycle/index.htm

Hmm, I'm okay with this
I bet suzuki is at 99% because all the gxr and busa bros crash
:]

Gsxr breaks just sitting there

But it says 12%, user.

12% chance this is your gear setup if you ride a shitzuki

I wish it would make it easier to get parts

Don't mind them, it's just shitposting. The SV650 is a reliable bike, it just has some budget components

>BMW (40 percent)
wow tbqh

>went to a local used shop today
>Guy asked what I was looking for
>told him looking for first bike, looking for a cbr500
>told me to start on a 600
>told me he rides a gxr

>Ducati less reliable tha both Triumph and Harley.

Gets me every time. Still want one though.

Wew
Gsxr squids are the worst

you sound like a pussy, just believe in yourself, and get good

Heard the scramblers are reliable tho
Simple old engine

It's exactly one guy who shitposts every thread about suzuki.

He rides an R3
His license plate is r3kt
He lives in tuscon
He's super easy to doxx

Its more than one person moron.
Suzuki is shit. Smart people know that. Dumb people buy suzukis

Jake the garden snake rides an fz07..you might be right

Ok /dbt/ the year is 1976, the Honda CB750 has been largely unchallenged for years but there is finally competition available, the Kawasaki KZ900, Yamaha XS750, Suzuki GS750, Moto Guzzi 850 Le Mans, and Laverda Jota have just been released. The Norton 850 Commando, BMW R90S, and Ducati 900SS are also in the middle of production and bikes have never been faster, pushing 130 mph top speeds and approaching 100 horsepower.

You're 22 and looking to go fast, bang 70's QTs and live that rock n roll life, what do you buy and why?

let's kick his ass

wrong

Wait that's yamaha. I'm an idiot

>R3kt hates suzuki
Friendship ended

Conlan lives in Yuma, not Tuscon.

>Suzuki shill is retarded
Case in point.

He got smart and sold his DRZ

...

Drugs

This Yea, his fz07 is not bad either, I like what he's done to it. Still an idiot tho

Hes a mechanic and actually really smart.
Do you not know about youtube personalities? You always act like a moron for views

Motovloger genocide when?

XS750
Anything except yamaha wouldnt be worth it

It's implied that you already have drugs, it's 1976 for fucks sake.

I-it's character. R-right, guys? G-guys?

I mean I wouldn't call being a mechanic the bar for really smart
But he acts like an idiot

What's the weight cutoff before a bike becomes pigfat?

Hyabusa

Yes. He's an actor for youtube to make money.
Watch the bolt shit on series. He acts normal and is really knowledgeable.

Guaranteed to get the bitches! :^)

anything heavier than [MY BIKE'S WEIGHT]

When the bike weights more than you.

Bolt ons
Wew lad, hope he teaches at MIT

500 lbs.

Thank the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I'm an amerilard I get to ride something bigger than a 50cc scooter

I travel forwards in time and buy a superior modern bike instead of trying to relive a past I never experienced in the first place. Leave that shit in a museum.

>Pic related
>headlights aren't square
But hopefully never, those unilight sportbikes all look like poop.

He should have got an fz-09

800 lbs seems like a good cutoff

I forgot to mention that I was talking about lean body mass.

That is pretty damn heavy.
Let´s be realistic and say 200 lbs.

So you ride a trials bike or something?

I will ride home on my 80's ass bike and watch some vintage anime. To each their own though

No, pigfat 84 kg.

That shits hideous. Keep on the race track so i don't have to see it.

Yeah actually you can start on a 600. It's not like the powerband appears out of nowhere and sends you power willying through a corner and into the grave like you just activated IOMTT mode and the steering lock is not bad because the steering geometry makes up for it.

You are given the ability to go suicidally fast but they have so little low end power that you have to actually try to go suicidally fast. That's too much for nanny states but not too much for free men.

#notall

If the bike is well balanced I think it shouldn't be written off as too big and I say that as a 155lbs 5'10" King of Manlets

>155lbs
That is pretty heavy user, I am 125 lbs.

>hating fun
It's just a hypothetical, what the fuck else are you fags gonna do? Shitpost about Suzukis and motovloggers for the 100th time?

It's comfy and fun and easy to ride

A shame about the modern trend of underseat/undertail stoage not being allowed to exist though

>want to carry a lunchbox but not a backpack? buy the aftermarket luggage for $1000 goyim :^)

dyel

This is pretty true actually, I got the chance to ride a 40's Indian Chief, a bike pushing 600 lbs, and it was so well balanced and the weight so low that you would never notice the weight.

This, started on a 600 zx6r with no issues been a month so far and the only thing to be mindful of is yanking the throttle, take it easy and warm up to it and you'll be gold

>buy the aftermarket luggage for $1000 goyim :^)
meanwhile on old bikes:
>need to carry a 20L jerrycan?
>50 bucks and it fits

>can't even get the town I live in right

Fucking mong

Took Ducati off my list of manufacturers, now I'm down to these bikes as my potential next bike;

Yamaha MT-07
Kawasaki ZX-6R 636
Kawasaki Z900RS

Naked, super sport or retro.

ZX-6R has good horsepower, top end speed and is a classic and gorgeous design.

MT-07 has slightly more torque and can still go at like 130mph and all the reviews I see of it are really positive and praise its handling and riding position.

Z900RS looks great. No idea about its performance yet.

Honda a shit. They don't have any bikes that appeal to me at all.

Thanks Mr Skeletal

more of a result of it being easier to weld and bolt shit onto tube steel subframes and a lack of bodywork to be apprehensive about cutting through than anything

just get an fz09

This
Or a Striple 765.

god damn i love sucking dudes

We know, suzuki rider.

yeah me too dude

Why?

What's the point in getting an MT-09 if I could just get an MT-10?
What's the point in getting an MT-10 if I could just get an R1?
What's the point in getting an R1 if I could just get a ZX-10RR?
What's the point in getting a ZX-10RR if I don't do race days?

They look ugly as h*ck.

>keeping a dirtbike shiny clean
why just hose it down
