Fuck off nobike!

I don't get your meme.
Please explain, why do you call the versys r3?

nope no problem with it, because the pegs will always scrape on the ground first before the engine.

If anything, it's actually great because the weight is down low and if the bike goes down (which it has a couple times now) there's literally zero damage, as there's crash guards fitted around them.

Mega torque and its so fun revving it and feeling the bike pull to one side.

Fuel tap was on, tried it on reserve too.
Choke was not on, it has something like 8500 miles on it (can't be sure).
Took it down curvy tarmac roads for about an hour before it happened. Average speed of about 45-50 mph, no excessive revving or unnecessarily harsh riding.

Same on both counts, pre 50's cruisers are cool as hell and honestly fantastic to ride. The only time i'd ever buy a Harley is if I could get my hands on a barn find Knucklehead, restore it and paint it some crazy bright factory colors.

> girlfriend convinced me to stop neglecting the TT and finally buy the last two parts I need and to make TÜV so we can ride if there should be beautiful days left this year
she's a good

What happened next

Fuckin R.i.p

Except no

Any recommendations for a newfag interested in getting a bike?

All I've ever ridden are bicycles, really.

M/26/6" if that matters.

Also, I'd like to ride something like pic related.

XT 600
DR 650
KLR 650
whatever Hondas shit bike is

>6"
Meh. Ive had bigger

I bet you'd enjoy kicking it to life.
>at your local bar, trying to kickstart it
>it won't start
>laughter_intensifies_

Lowsided under a semi

Thanks, user.

^^ I meant 6' of course. Eurofag here.

>> girlfriend

I've done it once on an old Indian, it's not so much that it's hard to kick but the start procedure is like 15 steps, you've got to play around with the spark advance, fuel, throttle, ignition, and kick it a few times before you even try to start it.

>see dream bike posted on Gumtree
>price is perfect
>message the guy I'll buy it full price ASAP
>he ignores my messages
>try and phone him
>number not recognised
>send him a message everyday for 4 days

WHY

/scam/

someone persuade me to buy something else than a Suzuki GS500 for my A2 license next year.

You can do gooder than that.

Suzuki a shit

Anyone know anything about Cagiva bikes? I know they're a now defunct Italian manufacturer but I don't know what their reliability was like, parts seem pretty easy to get but a bit more expensive than usual

There's a guy near me selling an ex MOD 350 dual sport made by them that I'm interested in

Lolmanlets, when will they learn? Reminds me of a story my old man told me
>1973, in college
>QT hippie girl asks to ride his bike
>he says if you can kick start it you can ride it
>girl doesn't bring it to TDC before kicking
>850ccs of angry Norton throws her over the handlebars
>Norton Commando: 1
>100 lb hippie girl: 0
I kinda wish more bikes still had kickstarters, they're a never ending source of comedy.

but its the best performance/point used.

contrary to popular opinion, not an argument.

Suzuki with a bodykit

I would say if you're asking whether you should buy one on a namibian dick bedazzling forum you probably shouldn't buy one.

Enjoy not having skin, and melting plastic being on what's left.

>price
yes
>performance
it was considered a shitbike when it first came out in the late 80s

They'll also all be abused to no end. Get something mint. Like a CB500/CB500F

Cruiser life best life

>honda cb500f
>literally costs a thousand more with even more mileage.
>needs a restrictor kit because it has more than 35kw power.

how is this better.

What 80-140 hp sport/naked/sport touring bikes are there that are cheap (read: 10-20 years old), not too pigfat and have good low end torque? I've had a 650cc dual sport until now and I found both the torque and top end power seriously lacking.

Check the fuel screw to see if it's still there, had it drop on on my 525 once ( same carb ) did exactly what you are talking about.

Goldwing

My old XLCH ( kickstart only sportster ) that I had in the 80s would fuck people up when they asked. Always good for a kek.

So you can restrict it for paperwork, then toss out the restrictor.

People here do that all the time with 600 crotch rockets. Get that instead.

the TT 600 exists
you know ybr I'd let u try mine first before you buy one yourself

>buying a restrictor kit for another fucking 300 euro's.
>going through restriction testing for another 100 euro

i don't see the point in the 20km/h extra i get.

besides the honda cb500 and cbf500 look like indian turds.

retarded af desu.

dont like sport bike ergonomics.

Nobody thats is serious about motorcycles says "crotch rocket"
Fuck off you filthy casual

wrong TT 600, try again.

>TT 600

The enduro? no thank you.

>oil change
>chain adjust
>spark plug cap
need doing before I can ride, but it's fuckin freezing outside and my center stand is broken
someone do it for me, I'll pay you in cadburys buttons

I want a bitcoin per hour.

>buying a restrictor kit for another fucking 300 euro's.
Yes that's right. The cost will be compensated in the first two years by lower insurance.

>besides the honda cb500 and cbf500 look like indian turds.
And how will your GS500 look like? Like an air cooled indian turd.

Faggot.

only got dogecoin

...

>faggot
Thats a nice edgy response, friendo

I don't care, I want it in bitcoins.

I bet you fail at easy tasks, you inbred hillbilly FUCK

Why so much projecting?

FUCK YOU

Edgy af :)

Plenty, Bandit, Firehawk, FZ1, SV1000, TL1000, RC51, pretty much any liter naked or liter V twin.

>low end tourqe
Aprilia V-twins. Sound is sexual.

Honda VTR1000 SP1/2 is pretty based, sound awesome and seriously good handling.

Here's the sound.

its already happening in the second pic

Small girls kicking big bikes.

youtube.com/watch?v=Dh0OLiNeJyI

this fancy choke has 3 positions

The worst spot is the key is right next to the starter so if you wear boots you can hit the key to the off position and be trying to start it for a good while before noticing the key in the wrong spot >_

Mine too
>off
>on
>stuck

Is the Kawa Ninja 650 A2 a good bike for beginners or should I check the new Ninja 400? I want a first bike that look somehow modern and sports-y, no old models please. I'm 180cm and 110kg.

Turbo busa, you lard.

youtube.com/watch?v=SsNz4ODtlps

TFW Japanese girlies having more fun and a better social life than you just by kicking thier bikes.

>I dont wear a helmet and judge people who do wear helmets becasue i would rather die than be a vegetable

are people seriously this retarded?

You mean you rather be a vegetable than alive.

>Golden frame.

HNNNG

Few guys at work are already talking about going to this. Should be pretty fun. We're also off for Sturgis. Awww yisss

Is dbt planning any sweet lil trips for 2018?

Yes, people are seriously this retarded
With a good helmet the chance of ending up veggied in a crash at 80mph is pretty low compared to the chance of ending up brained damaged from a crash at 40mph with no helmet

Its funny how you never see anyone that's survived a bad crash advocating for not wearing a helmet isn't it?

Watch a guy try to break his own arm. What's wrong with these people?
youtube.com/watch?v=XvTTV3n3HdQ

That's a fucking awesome jacket

The people most in need of helmets are the ones least qualified to make that choice.

meh

Until his buddy tears the sleeve open around the four minute mark

Possibly going to CO with CC and Wombat. Going to go and do a motocamping trip to the Crazy Horse (under construction still) monument and Mt. Rushmore at some point. Beyond that, nothing major. If SAM West or SAM East work with my schedule, then might take time off to do those too.

you should lose 30 kg before thinking about a sportsbike

I still don't see me wanting to do a meat n greet with anyone from dbt.
But I am looking forward to the ride to sturgis. Should be relaxing af

>He doesn't work out and like having a manly muscular build

Veeky Forums is almost entirely normal people desu,very few actual creeps

Normies are the real creeps.

Everyone on the planet has some level of insanity. Don't worry about it.

I know one guy from here. He's a complete cunt irl.
So ill just stick to the few fucks I ride with already lol

Possibly one of the most fedora things I've ever read in my life

>Letting one person change your perception of an entire group
Nice

Anybody around DE want to ride sometime?

Come to east coast SAM in NC

Do you wanna get molested by wr...cuz thats how you get molested by wr
