In addition to what other people said, its apparently assembled in pooland

My thoughts are adequately expressed in pic related

i like the wheels and the gold forks. If you like it buy it.

>not wanting roller coaster power delivery

Its a pile of shit.
Avoid it

This looks cool. I know absolutely nothing about bikes, better to drive than a car? Why? How dangerous is it exactly?

I live at the beach where the limit is much lower than the main city, might drive it around here for fun and stick to my car for more serious stuff.

Seeing this on wednesday awww yeah.

Not actually getting it that day though :(

Also, I heard that back when they were introduced they had the least amount of warranty services. The bike itself is very simple and relatively cheap to maintain. Added bonus of BMW being cheap to insure and reduced risk of getting it stolen by bike thieves.
A bit more power and a bit more weight than the 310r, but also cheap and it's a relatively real(er) BMW.

No one cares, attention whore

Sounds like you haven't one. Its a pretty solid bike for being 11 years old

>suzuki
>solid
Solid turd maybe

Also its heavy and slow for its class

why would you buy a slip-on for a learner bike in the first place?
Why are you expecting massive power and torque increases from a conservatively tuned single cylinder for learners/commuters in the first place?

I've had literally no problems except electrical issues, and most of those were only caused by the previous owners. Engine is easy to get to as are all the fluids. It can also handle easier dirt roads no problem and its comfy enough for commuting

...

Nope, gonna ducati more because of that fgt.

>heavy and slow for an 11 yo bike
wew
>one case of a weld that mysteriously wasn't backed by warranty, no racing or stunting though
double wew

>wednesday

what dealer? Newport and Beverly hills Duc told me the bike will be here mid to late Feb.

what the fug
how

Ducati Ever Red event in SF, actual bikes for distribution aren't here in the states yet.

Has DNA told you when they'll actually arrive? They told me the same thing but they're not even out to sea yet.

Mess with the best
highside like the rest.

>uh-oh it's a picture of a broken bike! Surely, the model...no no...the whole BRAND must be absolute shit and avoided at all costs!

A new 650gs swingarm costs about 100 dollars on ebay.

Cheap because it happens so often they produced hundreds of thousands of extra parts

pshh, not f650cs master race

You are missing the point completely. Look at the torque curve

my local dealer told me late Feb, but my dealer is one of those local shops that employ one ducati tech and sells only a handfull of ducati bikkes. Newport and Beverly hills only deal with Ducati's and i was told the new v4 will be in their show room floor sometime in mid February.

>finally find a bike for sale at a reasonable price
>no title

Does CS stand for cock sucker, cause that's all you'll be doing if you ride that

that's what single cylinder torque looks like

>not being able to ironically enjoy cock sucker bike
>not being enthralled by Bavarian lack of aesthetics
>belt drive

Lmao europe what are you thinking.
It looks like a bosozuku style cafe racer.

>get on baiku for ride
>feeling fine
>suddenly on highway and massive urge to shit starts to destroy me
>pray I don't explode before making it to a bathroom
This happens too often to be a coincidence.

is there any benefit to trail braking if you're riding street and you dont want to be a fast boi

youtube.com/watch?v=DBENFZvHXc4

Looking a little less of Feb and more March, Still has to cross the atlantic and cross the nation.

I use my rear brake 99% of the time
Rarely touch the front

why

Because i dont ride like an ass. And it works fine

>riding back from school
>low gas light since yesterday
>drank massive amount of water during class
>have to decide whether to open the floodgates or get gas
>go get gas during most uncomfortable ride of my life

80% of your braking is supposed to come from the from brakes

>Because i dont ride like an ass
ok

Daily reminder to throw out those crush washers and just tighten those drain bolts up real tight

...

Are you sure that's smart?

>sit on r6
>start getting a pinch in my shoulder
>same on cbr600rr
>test ride
>have to put my arm down to my sides every few minutes
>try test riding a fz6r and ninja 650
>much better on my shoulder, more enjoyable ergonomics that don't have me laying down to operate the bike

Am I the only one who like the ergos more on the fz6r and ninja 650? I'm looking for a zippy commuter bike, not a sports bike of any kind, but the fz6r and ninja 650 are consistently shit on so is there anything with similar ergos that anyone recommends?

Looks to me you still have a washer with your bolt. I mean as long as it doesnt snap like your brain did then should be okay.

>ride dual sport
>shoulder starts aching and arm starts tingling after a while
>get lower bars
>helps a little bit
>buy a supersport
>finally no shoulder pain while riding. Also the seat is much wider and nicer on my butt.
>takes a while for my knees and the rest of my body to adjust but end up much more comfortable overall
Everyone is different I guess.

Post e/b/in crash wepms

Hey guys, just picked up my first bike a little over a month ago. Any tips on how to safely learn wheelies? P.S. I know the paint is kinda funky, but it turns a lot of heads and it's kinda growing on me

Falseflag

fuck off keeno

Not me

still fuck off kindly

>someone mentioned Suzuki
>autistic screeching follows
Oh here we go lads!

no bullying allowed
thanks

please put teeth in ninja

...

Are you of disappointed? :DDD

But it's in Fres...NO

Why is the video speed up

...

Sped up? In FPS terms? I dunno ask the creator.

>tfw no bugeye ninja

There's a few harley guys around

>Because i dont ride
You could have just stopped right there.

There shit lad, budget everything, really shitty desu.

>tfw meme priced buells
reeee I only wanted one because I thought they were undervalued

Buy one they are cheap. Can get a 6r for like $2k in decent shape, my 900 was listed for $3k but I got it for a bit less.

t. Cruiserfag

tfw they were cheap as fuck a couple years ago but I had no extra cash then.

Have you ever been on one? I've ridden a fireblade and an r1 and they are all in the same class build wise.

What's the oldest bike that you still ride regularly? I've got this 89 KLR 250 that I hoon around on the farm. Still starts on the first or second kick, but it needs a new petcock and tyres.

feels batman

1991 rm250

Big twin best twin

>2003 still has carbs
>Regular forks that are stiff
>Heavier than the competition

Ive riden the zx9r and zzr600 and felt really cheap comparef to a blade or gsxr.

>Twin

What year 9r did you ride? The e&f models only weigh like 465 wet. Also I prefer having carbs and the suspension is adjustable.

I've had 5 bikes and they were all from the early 2000s

>prefer having carbs
Don't kid yourself

I'd love to do single track on the KLR, but there are none near by and I'm worried about it breaking down in the middle of nowhere.

See2001 Yamaha road star

I like the noise they make and they tune absurdly well.
Plus dead easy to work on and no electronic bullshit. Oh and I can do keybangers in parking decks

>some oil from the engine dripped onto exhaust wrap when the side was pulled off
>running it, oil needs to burn off
>smells like shit, blue smoke rolling off from under my engine
>trail behind me, big cloud at lights
>people keep telling me that there's something wrong with my bike when I'm stopped at lights
>lasted like 40 minutes before it tapered off and stopped
well that was an experience

Now go seafoam it and ride around

Pretty much any standard/sport standard has that riding position.

Just get one. Anyone who says it's a bad bike hasn't ridden one or is used to their GSXR/R1. They have a very, very even powerband and are very enjoyable to ride both to work and to the next city over on the weekends.
Same, I fixed this by sitting back further on the seat and leaning forward slightly, but obviously it's not idea for everyone.

i wish my parents didnt force me into acting when i was younger

Nobody cares faggot
