so how vibey is that thing
on a scale from compfy i4 to help i cant feel my ass/hands/feet

*pulls up beside u*
hey kid, wanna race? oh nevermind ur on one of those sissy japanese bikes
*accelerates at incredibly hihg speed*

are you the guy who went to romaniacs?

Bolts are rattled loose/10

>There's nothing a dual sport can't do
can you actually go on a bigger tour with them? like 2000km and more? or should i just get an adventure bike?

lollin out loud at this soft cunt

>my japanese bike doesn´t rev beyond 200 rpm
>my german bike revs up to 10000 rpm

would this be considered a V twin or L twin?
>inb4 its a V4
also that radiator looks huge

Son that´s a v8

shit just saw the script, so my point still stands, when is it a V and when is it an L?

It's an L when it's made by Ducati and Ducati says it's an L.

I dont think there is a rule, it´s just what ducati calls their v-twins since they have a 90 degree angle.
But not sure, could be wrong

Oh I get it, it's a joke because the flying brick is slower than 90% of Japanese bikes, very funny user.

>flying brick
When your bike is 40% engine you can't complain about it being a brick.

You'll probably want an actual custom seat. Like tailor-made custom.

>Yamaha will never great make Enduros again

Ducati calls their V twins 'L twins' because they are tilted fowards at such a manner that the 90º V ends up forming an L. That's all that there is to it, but 'L' engines are merely V engines, my man.

italia irredenta was a mistake

This has probably been asked to death but I'm looking for a bike for commuting and want something other than a moped. Was originally leaning to a Grom because of the price and amount of fun I had doing literally anything on it but I've been told I can find a full size bike for a bit more.

I'm not rich. I'm working a min wage job living with my dad who won't help buy a bike which is alright. Just looking for something with decent financing (which I know nothing about).
Looking at Groms I've seen some with 30 a month for every 1000 financed so sub 5k sounds like something a poorfag 18 year old can afford.

pls help and teach me

If you're low income, buy a beaten up shitbike for less than 1k, wrench it till ridable, ride it.
Enjoy.

>buying a shitty meme bike new
>financing a new shitty meme bike
>at age 18
Go on Craigslist, search "ninja 250" and buy the cheapest one in good shape. Buying new for your first bike is a mistake, financing a bike is a mistake, financing a new bike at age 18 is pants on head retarded.

>finda Ninja
>work on it if needed

I was wanting to try and build credit but this seems safer

If you want to build credit get a credit card and treat it as a debit card.

get a super cub
at least you'll just look slightly homosexual

All of said, first bike ?
Gotta be something you won't mind droping too much, because it will happend.
Gotta be efficient, not too powerful, and most of all, cheap to fix.
That means no meme new bike on which the littlest of plastic frame will cost you 200 bucks once you've dropped it.
Also look for crash bars, better sage and ugly than sorry.

This was a plan too. Getting (or attempting to) a loan from a bank for a bike is also a shit idea right?

Jesus fuck it's gay as shit

It'll be my first but I'm not completely new to bikes. I'll look into Ninjas. I've been told by others to look at ninjas too

Unless you need it right now and have no time to save and a steady enough income you'll be able to pay it off quickly, no I wouldn't get a personal loan.

I'll save for a used bike. Thanks lads

No problem, when the time comes if you're not sure what to buy post your budget and local CL, dbt loves bike shopping for other people.

I will when I get a good chunk saved

I want to cover my bike in anime stickers because its a crappy 125cc that nobody ever pays attention to.

Good / bad idea?

Why do my tires keep randomly shaking violently left and right for a few seconds?

Back tire does it if I press on the back brake too hard
Front tire just did it randomly at 60mph cause idk my bike is fucked

I have no idea how it doesn't make me fall off my bike either. Every time it happens I feel like my bike is about to fall.

Are your tires aligned properly? Maybe check that shit out

Take bike out to go eat alone because you are a lonely biker.
At least to Harley guys don't park next to me so it's easy to get out.

Do you plan to sell it later on?

OOHH! They might not be actually. I've had them move around before and I've had to manually straighten them between my legs.

You must have your front and rear wheel bearings checked, too

What year of Honda liter bikes can I swap out the fairings for Repsol
>pic related

Good. Objectively.

A bike that size isn't even a conversation starter. Go Itabaiku and you'll be swimming in cosplay sluts.

>riding a billboard

fake repsol bikes are the second faggiest thing right behind gixxer squids

>Not riding an obnoxious livery and making normies think you're the fastest thing on the road

>normies
>giving the slightest shit about bikes

what is your opinion on 50cc?

Great if you have short low speed commute I guess. Still rather have a 125

just get a bicycle

True enough, everything with a fairing is a rocketship to non-bike people (that is if they even notice). But hey, I like how loud and obnoxious it is.

I'd imagine as long as the fairing are of the same year or from the same model iteration that there would be no problem switching them out. I've always been curious: is a Repsol bike registered as orange or black?

Stay away from chink shit.

125cc is about the same to buy used, is only a little more expensive to insure and is fast enough to go outside the city so long as you aren't on motorways, and having to change gear is actually really easy

I'm assuming you live in Europe? 50cc would be fucking retarded in America

i well i need one to do around 40 to 50km per day.

Brazil

I am amazed that 2 people from dbt within 5 minutes of me in my little town

Also tfw newbike

>50cc
>50km/day
is that just urban riding?

Anime was not, and never will be, a good idea.

Its registered as rainbow because it announces you to the world as the gayest thing since pozzed bread

50km on a 50cc would be shit. I wouldn't go less than 250cc if I had to travel 50 km mate

>50k/m a day
>50cc
Get a 125, 50km on a machine capable of 55km/h at best would be torture

Hey Thanks!
>I still like it

pic #2

>tfw closest person on the map is 80 miles from me

You should meet up and lick each others exhausts

>is that just urban riding?
Yes.

yeah,but i'm poor as fuck and most of these bikes are probably really cheap,especially used. i still need my license though.

what

I hate the Monster livery thing, but gotta love a Husqy sumo.
Enjoy it.

that a SMR510? Always liked those, saw a listing for one ONCE years ago in my state.

50km a day on a chinese 50cc scooter
stop and think about it

this is how poor people get poorer

Yes it's a 2007 husqvarna 510 smr. 6k miles Runs great, and has no major problems. I was lucky enough to pick it up for $3000 off of craigslist the other day.

Also I'm the user who bought the $700 white katana and broke the transmission the next day if anyone remembers.

>3k for a 510
you lucky cunt.

Is there a word for that feeling you get when you order parts and then after the order has been dispatched realize you should have ordered more stuff?

I'm getting ready to sell my repsol fairings for these cool ps2 sponser ones.

"Nice bike, boy. What the hell is a repsol?"

well, yeah you are right, i might get a 125 or above. more than that might be too much for a newbie.

"I bet you thought it was pretty funny to speed past us on your pussy Japanese bike back there, boy. Hand over the pink slip."

What do?

Well me title is blue so...catch me if you can fagbois

125cc is fine for mostly urban riding since I'm guessing you won't have much chance to higher than 50-60mph anyway

Also, I learned to ride on a 500. Just because it's a bigger engine doesn't mean it's difficult or any more dangerous as long as you have some common sense.
So if you can find a nice 250 don't be scared to get it.

Why does everyone say 125ccs only do 50-60?

Mine personally does 65-70 on a straight long road on average and my friends more expensive 125ccs are faster at 70-80 on average.

Not even downhill by the way, but on fairly good conditions.

those look like gay porn actors

because your speedometer isn't accurate.

all those nikes

Bait

It's not an act.

HELLO THERE FELLOW MOTORBIKES

Took my Harley for a rip today. The Founding Fathers were watching from Heaven, stroking their thick engorged freedom cocks as I twisted the throttle on my massive 883cc V-Twin, releasing all 38 furious horses to the rear wheel. My steed screamed freedom as I ripped down ghetto blvd on my way to my community college.

What did you gaiboi, ass-up-face-down sport bike faggits do?

only faggots ride harleys

Hi there, crotch rocketeer

Geez, my Ninja 300 powered bike on stilts is protbably nicer, more comfortable, and quieter to drive.

How's your leg

Walking with just 1 crutch now. It is fully mobile but weak, and it aches after any exercise.
