listen m8. everyone on here are NEETs. they HATE loans cause theyd have to work to pay it back. dont get sucked into the "muh good goy muh shekels" conversations.

you literally can't even get a cell phone plan without decent credit

stop playing yourself

Thoughts on track days? I feel like they're only good if you're rolling in money

>murrika
They can't have cell phone plans, they can't have public healthcare, they can't have good public education and they can't even have an annual motorcycle meetup.
inb4 muh guns

>Getting a cell phone plan
>Ever

I'm all for financing at reasonable rates once you're 25+ and don't get fucked on the insurance (exception: suzuki dealers) but cell phone plans only make sense for consumercuck families with 3 daughters who not only text all the time and do everything on 4g when they have wifi but also demand the newest iphone every single year.

For the rest of us, there's android flagships bought in cash with prepaid sims.

ok

oh no not again why do you have to post that damn pic everyday.

>Financing is for people who live above their means.

You know that corporations and elites never spend their own money, right? They get banks loans to finance their projects. They also keep the money they earn in the bank. Its far better to keep your cash in your pocket and spend someone else's money, even if there is a fee. Poor people fuck up when the borrow more than they can afford, thats all.

im considering that or an sv650 and im not sure yet

they're quite different bikes

they are,my main thing against the 07 is that ive seen in a video that the handlebars are flexing from the connection to the cross,i dont know if thats really an issue tho,when i went to see it on a dealer it also felt really really plasticy i havent seen the sv650 myself tho,does it feel like that too? i guess im second guessing the 07s build quality

that's how they're set up, that's vibration damper in the connections of the grip
the bearing (I think?) it's called

The Mt felt cheap as fuck to me too
And it badly needs a tune, the stock one likes to write checks the rear wheel can't cash in
SV is slightly better, but it'll feel more relaxed
Both have huge followings, you'll be able to buy stuff to fix their shortcomings anyway, so I'd say get the one you like most
(Which is why I bought mah shivvy)

have you tried the xsr700? What was your first bike?

are you joking? It's a fucking motorcycle. New high end ones cost like a corolla. Why would you go out of your way to finance a motorcycle when you can just save up in a couple of months and get one without paying interest to a bank?

The xsr is the same, my man
Lots of fake plastic chrome

honestly if i wasnt a pussy id get a used 690 smc(love it)/duke ,thing blows everything out of the water,maybe i will but it doesnt feel right to pay as much for a used one as a new 650

>not getting the godbike

This your first bike?
Don't buy new
And don't buy a duke, ffs
Get an husky if you have to

hey guys, some guy tried using his car to stop me from lane splitting.
what are good ways to serve justice?
I was thinking of carrying bits of the ceramic from spark plugs and throw it at their windshield.

try honking you moron

Git gud. Ride around.

Post bikes.

Excited to buy my new bike

What's the firs thing I should do with it? Wheelie and loop it?

lmao you serious?
is that in all of US or just in some shitty states?
also why do you need a plan? if you dont call much you should be fine without one desu

stop being stupid lol

Maybe not be a psychopath

Interest is nothing more than a convenience fee. Why go without for months when you can pay a jew a few bucks and get the bike now?

I'm a student and not the son of a billionaire
>a couple months
more like 2 years

>They get banks loans to finance their projects
Difference being their projects make money whereas yours costs money

>convenience fee

a goy and his shekels are easily parted

this isn't mortgage for a house or even taking out a car loan. It's a fucking motorcycle. If you can't save up for it in cash just get a cheaper bike. How are you planning on paying road tax and insurance for the machine if you can barely afford one?

Well whatever, to each their own. Id rather keep my cash in the bank and just get a loan.

...

...

I can easily afford insurance and taxes, that's 300€/year plus 150€/month for the bike, that's no problem
and that's about all I could "save" up if I didn't buy the bike, maybe a hundred more or so
of course if I saved for two years I'd finish uni and get a job and afford a way better bike
but I wanted it last year and not ride the bus for all eternity

Yes

>get inconvenienced
>destroy another man's property
Are you literally 7 years old? Just go around him or wait a couple of seconds. Chances are you were being a cunt about it to boot, otherwise cagers wouldn't care.

Here's a thought. Save up for a year and get a cheap shitbike because you'll more than likely rek your first bike anyway. And when that happens, at least you can simply write it off instead of having to pay for a bike you can't ride for another fucking year.
Or don't. Finance your meme bike. Buy a camera. Be sure to record your crash and post it here. It's been what, 3 years since Ninja650CrashAnon? Time for a successor.

...

I can't feel my hands
Fuck cold weather

get a moped,cheap to buy ,pretty much 0 maintenance cost and tax/insurance/gas and will get you out of the bus,then save up and get whatever you want whenever you can afford it

>Ninja650CrashAnon
History time?

>be Australian faggot
>come to /dbt/ asking about gud first bike
>get told GS 500
>go and finance brand new Ninja 650 because can't afford to buy even a cheap shitbike outright
>total it after like 2 weeks
>have to make payments on it for another 2 years or so
Many lulz were had.

must suck to live life with such a negative attitude

...

But he has a point, though. Save up, start with a cheap bike.

By all means, go ahead and throw your money away. At least I'll have something to laugh about.

Your bike troubles me
I thought only the faired Fs were belt drive
Also, you should probably get a guard for it if you plan to offroad with it
Shit can wedge in and destroy your pulleys

this is what i cant understand,why do people take loans so lightly,its far better to have a big % of the cost in cash and loan for safety than getting a loan when youve currently got like 500 bux in your name...

In my country it's considered stupid to get loans and banks will do anything they can to avoid giving them out

I had a faired F with belt drive previously.
Not doing any serious off-roading with this one, just the occasional shortcut. Thanks for the guard tip though. When I get a big bike, might hang on to this one and put more dirt-oriented tyres on it.

it's almost always stupid to get a loan when you're poor
especially for a toy like a motorcycle.. maybe a bit less stupid if you need a car for work or something
it makes sense to take a loan if you have enough money that holding onto it will make more money in interest than you'll spend on the loan's interest
but i hardly think that's true of "convenience fee" user

Miss that bike tho ;_;

wait.. the one in the picture you're replying to is not belt drive?

Grow up.

Picking fights on a bike only ends in tears, and you're dragging down the image of motorcyclers while you're at it.

1/10 I replied

Yes it is

oh i'm just retarded and misread what you wrote
carry on

Ride your pace and let them ride theirs. DO NOT watch them ride, keep doing like you have been, look ahead as far as possible, Pick your line and try to be smooth. Speed will come, stick with the basics.

Anybody that rides would much rather wait for you for a bit at the next direction change for 2 minutes rather than wait an hour watching you get loaded in an amberlamps.

Smile fuckhead, you are out riding, don't sperge about shit that doesn't matter, nobody really cares how fast you are.

This, don't drop your spaghettis or your bike and enjoy the ride, tell them you're a beginner and they'll understand just fine, we've all been there.

>They also keep the money they earn in the bank

No they don't, minimal operating cash yes but the bulk of their worth, not even close.

Hey guys. Recently got a tu250X. (don't judge, its a fun bike) Anyway, the stock mirrors are dogshit and I am looking for new ones. Where's a good place to order from and a good brand for long stem round mirror ? 10Mm mounts.

why do you even want mirrors in the first place

So i can look at myself from different angles without them vibrating like your moms dildo.

The spark plugs trick doesn't work on windshields, they're coated and shatterproof. You have to get a side or rear window. Also you're a child.

Give them a little knock on their window and a "what gives?" gesture.

Heated grips ,you can put them on your bike for less than a hundred burger bucks. I still wear my vented summer gloves into the high 30s and my hands are fine.

>high 30s
>cold

You have to have full coverage insurance on financed rides here in burger land. Sucked to be him.

He did IIRC, it was one of the stipulations of the loan contract --- except the accident was his own fault, so he got no money from the insurance. All he got was a hefty insurance fee.

Confirmed by digits, Checked.

what the fuck is that scooter-bike hybrid ahahahah suzuki are you drunk?
still looks better than that bmw k-gt shit

It's the M A J E S T I C PORPOISE

That's not how insurance works.

It's ugly but it's a GSXS-1000 underneath so it is a pretty good hooligan bike, just hideous.

That's as cold as it gets here. Sorry you live in one of the shitty areas.

For the guy that originally asked, with warm gloves it'll get you into the teens easy.

>pay insurance fee
>more coverage = higher fee
>if damage to someone's property happens under certain circumstances, insurance pays for it
You'll be hard-pressed to find any company that will insure you (especially as an Australian beginner rider) against damages to your own bike, that are your own fault.

Yeah not here in burger land.

If he didn't have collision coverage, that's exactly how insurance works.

He also probably didn't have gap insurance

Then that's liability insurance, it only covers damage done by you to other people and other people's property, full coverage means full coverage, regardless of who is at fault, sure your rates will go up but you still get a payout.

Nope. Full coverage will pay for damage you inflict upon someone else's property even if it was your fault, NOT damage to your own property.

Then you're getting ripped off by your insurance company even more than everyone else is. So for your insurance what is the difference between full coverage and the minimum liability coverage? Because what you call full coverage is liability for me.

Covers wildlife accidents and weather damage to your vehicle (partial coverage), plus damage done to your vehicle by third parties (things like marauding hooligans; this is full coverage)

At least in the US, collision coverage falls under the umbrella of full coverage.

you forgot the most important part
it was restricted and he derestrcited it and claimed then to be the hottest shit and because he derestricted it the insurance didn't pay

Sucks to suck

then he got mad and also started to post scat porn in every dbt for 2 continuing weeks

Kek, dbt user's never fail to make me laugh

Those were the times. And newfags complain about GSposting. They know NOTHING.
