Homosexual filth deserves death.

>Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

Suzuki used to be good. M-maybe they will be good again some day. ;____;

Yeah, the immantizing of God’s will, adherance to him and his goals through theosis.
What is just is served, and abandonment of what is right and just because of a greater focus on JUST our judgements is gnostic heresy.

>Law of December 30, 533:

I'll stick with always-on LEDs, thanks.

Daytime running lights should be a thing on all bikes

They're coming in slowly, though given that most bikes can't have their lights turned off so that does the same job.

i wanna CUM

cum machine broke

Knock yourself out

So should mirror stalk turn signals but we still have those shitty little things that stick out the front fairing.

Also fork lighting. Together with mirror signal/DRLs, it's scientifically proven to improve recognition and accurate judgements of distance and speed because it creates a light profile that looks like a motorcycle. Unlike a regular motorcycle, which looks like a cross-eyed car that is very far away.

i got a2 license and cba sitting exams a fucking gain 1 year after i got it ,give me one reason i shouldnt get a tmax500 in a good price

the lights are always on anyways

Because it's a scooter?

Why did you do your tests if you're just gonna buy a two wheeled monument to the size of your vagina?

...

i just dont like a2 bikes really that much,i cant find something that ill keep in that category,on the other hand im pretty sure ill have the tmax (if i get it) for a long ass time,despite hating scoots i really like the tmax...somehow

Scooters are dull as hell.

Why go to the effort of getting your licence to get a scooter?

What could a T-Max deliver on the long term to keep it interesting that a good A2 bike couldn't?

>sex.jpg

Jesus christ.

Get a Rebel 500 or something.

...

well how i think it is,in a2 it doesnt lack in power it is on the heavy side tho,its more comfortable for long rides,i also personally like the looks,they are reliable and well built,their resale value even years down the line remain high assuming its in a good condition

If you like it buy it but know you're entirely retarded.

A CB500X would do everything the T-Max could do and more, is more powerful, weighs the same and is more usable on the road.

Che sfigato

Asking again cause nobody replied last thread

Just want to make sure - disc locks aren't just a meme right? I kinda need to leave my bike unattended in public for a while and I don't feel fine just taking away the key. Also, 50$ lock vs 120$ lock, any difference or? I'm not trying to defend my bike from a fucking bank heist level type of shit, just your plain old gypsies.

i use one
just get the cheap one

They’re not a meme no. They can be removed if a thief is determined enough, say with a grinder, but they’re not useless.

Ah, thanks mates, I'll just get one of the cheaper ones out there in this case

are you that chinese spammer that keeps on spamming some tripfag shit everywhere.

theres literally nothing a determined thief cant fuck tho,still every precaution helps,especially in combination,make it a lot of trouble to steal

I heard that allot of people like to travel by bike, specially in Europe. How does on go about it when you have a sportbike? Like how do you survive with only a backpack for a month?

Most people put it on the front caliper but that's the side that all the thieves pick up when they steal it so I put it on my rear caliper. Feels safer.

Oh alright, thanks for the tip. I was just gonna google that later but this works as well

It is safer. Rear wheel is more effort to remove, and what you mentioned about lifting the front is true too. I have always used lock on the rear, my bike has light scratches on the right side where it's obviously been gently laid down, and there was a mark on the lock where I guess it had bumped up against the caliper. I'm only assuming someone or a pair of thieves tried to nick it when I was at work, I didn't actually notice the damage until I washed it since I was working night shift and it was very light damage. It makes it a shittier target to go for than one that's unprotected imo

Even better, if you can fork out for two, one on each wheel.

Plus if you forget it on and try to ride away, the bike just stalls instead of lurching, suspension compressing, and tire possibly spinning.

sport tourer np ,actual supersport hooks on the tail and the tank but its miserable cause of the riding position ,generally youll see those guys on adventures etc not sportbikes

are you talking about no home or anything, or just using it for transportation to work and back and such?

If you have duals at the front you should really invest in a triplet, for maximum security

Wtf i love suzuki now

So, /dbt/, what was your first bike?

Gonna get my license next month after i change jobs and i am saving some money to buy the cheapest but also somewhat decent bike i can find + riding gear.

chinese 90cc dirtbike was i was like 11

CBR125R, was breddy gud.

>was breddy gud
liar

chinko 125cc ,honestly not bad just not for anything other than city roads

First I rode?
A stolen ciao
First I owned?
An SH125

'97 CB250

lived in suburbs around melbourne and never needed to go above 100 km/h, learned to do basic maintenance, bike never missed a beat. if I was living in the same situation again I'd probably go back to something similar, no frills naked that's easy to filter with and cheap to run/insure

Ninja 250, the plebbest motorcycle under the sun.

They're slow but they're great fun to ride, especially as a novice.

jesus christ that headlight is possibly the worst imagineable and i confirm that every time i look at the 250...literally why

You're all crossed up

It doesn't look that bad desu.

Certainly not as bad as the MT-10 or the dude crab lmao R1.

I was, that was a very long time ago, I'd only been riding for about a month at that point.

Thoughts on Dafra Bikes and scooters?

I heard they use the same parts as yamaha and honda bikes because of some Chinese government deal.

the t-max is also well liked by thieves

>Chinese

Avoid

How fast could this thing go? I'm guessing 120 km/h.

Dafra makes foreign bikes under license. Just make sure you know what you are getting yourself into.

Their 125 should be fine. IIRC it is well equipped (for a 125) at a nice price.

I had indicated 90mph (144kmh).

It took a huge stretch to do it but it got there. I am quite small though.

grom or z125?
besides the look I don't see any differences, kawa is offering custom body kits though

and where are the yamaha and sucki models? don't they want to compete for that market?

They're pretty much the same, just go with whichever you like the look of.

Or a Benelli TnT125.

Newbie here, fuck does this mean?

are SC slip-ons any good?

Basically means you're leaning the bike but staying upright.

Though it doesn't look like that's what is going on in the webm, the rider was going through a left right left at the end which means you have to move your body around a bit.

The camera also looks like it's chest mounted rather than helmet mounted.

Yes.

How much worse is it if you're crossed up? I guess I'll be doing the same at the beginning till I get a proper feel of it so how much more are you risking when you do that

it means you lean the bike more than you need to.

Getting your weight INSIDE of the corner is essential for proper cornering and its safer as well as it gives you more room to maneuver without scraping pegs or wiping out.

Start with just shifting your upper body to the inside, you will get a better feel for it eventually.

Really not that bad at all. It looks a bit odd but it's not that much of a problem at all, /dbt/ just memes about riding position.

It was actually the done thing amongst racers once upon a time.

youtube.com/watch?v=EAA5p0J33h4

here is how its supposed to look.

>It was actually the done thing amongst racers once upon a time.

dude dont just spread that misinformation.

Yes it CAN be done and usually is still handled like that on Sumos and Dirtbikes because it allows for better balance with an unstable/slipping bike on bad roads but its very wrong when talking about street riding with proper grip.

I'm not saying it's the right thing to do when riding on the edge, he asked if it's a problem whilst he's still learning, which it's not really.

Sure when you're riding a Panigale V4 on the edge like in then perfect riding form is quite important, but when you're first learning on a 125, it doesn't matter if you accidentally do it a bit.

if you try to get better you should start working on your mistakes and leaning outside is a typical beginner mistake.

Yes definitely.

asked how bad it is to do until he get's the feel of what he's doing. Honestly it's not that bad, especially on a little novice bike. If you're still doing it on a big bike like in your picture then you've got problems.

Thanks for the info guys, really appreciate it.

I never knew I needed this, thanks user

Daily reminder

Daily reminder

A 125cc semi automatic three wheeler, shit was fun as hell. Then I got an xr80, graduated to xr250 and now I own an xr400. In the future I want an xr650l to ride around town on.

Get a scout desu

I am sick of this shit SPORT bike meme.
Everywhere i go/talk ppl only know sport bikes or metal heads on chopper..
Its like the damned meta for bikes.
>hur dur speed is dangerous
But i don't have a moto with speed
>you all say that

All i want when i get my license is get something pic related.
All i find is cafe racers and ofc TONS of sport bikes.

Are you incapable of googling "standard" or "naked"?

>those tyres
>going offroad

Good luck

Daily reminder

Boy it's almost like the best performing and most exciting bikes just happen to be popular!

Get ready to have your mind blown....I listen to metal and ride a sport bike.

>best performing
Like where?... in a straight line?

>most exciting
Yep that's the problem. How do i deal when others have shit taste

was just picturing a stereotype

>Like where?... in a straight line?

Straight lines, corners. Not great in urban environments but that's a given.

Have you ever tried one?

It's going to be OK EF, there is nothing wrong with the sheboon banging your troll. cnn.com/2018/01/25/health/cuckolding-sex-kerner/index.html
