First for Yamaha

You know the deal.

POST YOUR BIKE HERE

Cant wait for summertime tb.h famalam

Just bought it a few days ago. Definitely got more power than my gs500

Duplicate thread flagged

Fuck off EF

I see the no job fat teenager woke up at the crack of noon to save his thread

Did mommy prepare you a nice bowl of Ez Mac to coax you out of bed little boy ?

...

Yes actually she did
Now I going to tend this thread all day long as my from sits in my stepdads shed

This is what brand supremacy looks like

...

Good bike please

KLR

Lawnmower

Get cucked

Not by that turd

...

Literally rip ur face off any day

40 seconds

Are Arch motorcycles any good or are they just a Keanu meme?

Asking because my dad wants to get back into it and he has money to burn.

I thought u could do better then that in 1/4 mile with ur lawnmower buddy
>rider ability is a thing I guess

...

Get him to buy a BMW HP2

Durrrrrrrr cheaper faster stuff is everywhere
Get an fz6 to fucking faggot

aren't they all custom made? which would make determining if they're good or not very difficult, especially here.

...

Manlet scooter confirmed

how do you even get replacement parts for a bike like that?

Call Keanu on his personal phone

Motorcycle enthusiast
Builds own cycles

Puts in air cooled twins
It's almost like he knows what is truly fun

Holy jesus would you just look at that fat ass rubber.

Are there any super lightweight helmets on the market?

My dad wants to get back into biking, but 'muh back' and 'I don't think my neck can deal with the weight of a helmet'.
I want to ride with him, like the old days when he used to take me out on the back of his big BMW. and zoom around country roads. Only I have my own bike now.
I can't stand seeing him reduced to driving a diesel Seat around to tow his caravan places.

...

Do you have any actual contribution to the thread, or are you just being thick?

Only thing thick around here are the lines i hit of ur moms ass

>tfw dad is a necklet

wind resistance makes a big difference too; I was getting a gnarly neck pump doing 90 on a naked bike in high winds across Nebraska and eastern Colorado

I seriously need to ride again

It's not enough for you to shit up trucker threads you gotta shit up motorcycle threads too?

I got a schuberth R2 carbon from my gf for my birthday. It is literally the most comfy helmet I have had so far (~11 helmets, 3 in active use). The lining is maximum comfy, it's lightweight imho, has a shitton of airflow if you want it to, is super quiet (I also use earplugs) and it has communication shit installed although I haven't used that yet, I've only had it for 2 months now

...

So, no.

Interesting, but they don't seem to be in the UK market.
Maybe I'll take him to an accessories store when summer comes back, and get him into a refresher course for riding.

Can find the R3, but not the R2.
He has arthritis, so weight is the major issue.

Ignore and report. Note the lack of a trip; reports got all of those banned,

They custom, hand built. They're retardedly expensive and if I remember correctly, they start at $35k. They're aimed toward people like Keaneau who have millions in the bank and a weekend toy at $50k is like you or I buying sushi once in a while.

>putting your bike away for the winter
TOP SES

>He has arthritis
pls user take him to a shop to have him actually wear the helmets once you've come up with a few options. Nothing ruins a ride faster than a not-comfy helmet

which should I sell, /dbt/?
>comfy seating position for long rides
>some sentimental value, first bike
>new tires, newish chain and sprockets, valves checked (thought I was gonna keep it for sure)
>~17k

but:
>a little bit of throttle lag since I installed r6 throttle tube
>weird fueling bug cropped up on most recent long highway trip (though it seems to have gotten better since I replaced the petcock)
>crashed once, pic related

Which bikes are those?

>17k
>already looks like shit

>suzuki
Have some self respect

Oh, definitely. Just have to make sure the staff keep away from him, because he's weak against salesmen.

also
>front wheel sensor doesn't work, so no speedo/odo

contestant 2:

>better throttle response
>higher pegs and clipons seem to help handling in the twisties
>easier lane splitting and mirrors that actually work worth a fuck
>ohlins shock
>frame sliders
>~13k

This is losing market share, and going the way of the dinosaur.

>not having a handlebar-mounted aenemometer and calculating windspeed

Sell both and get a decent bike user

>noticeably less comfy for trips over an hour
>no pillion seat or storage (lol race fairings)
>recoated tank but still not perfect
>due for valve check, will need tires and chain/sprockets soon

post your trailer queen

normally I just have my RFID-chipped homing pigeon to pace me but isn't that Honda's new Interceptor concept?

...

> Having room on your handlebars for anything
My CBR has clip-ons. Brake stuff on one side, heated grips on the other, and a couple of inches between that and the yoke each side that's all square cross-section.
I have a little tankbag for my satnav to ride in.

>having clipons
Soi boi hipster faggit

At least I'm not a naked bike poorfag who's too scared to ride a proper sportsbike.

>Imblying spurt bikes are hard to ride

Still takes commitment to going fast, instead of going for an upright naked bike because you're too much of a pussy to do anything but accelerate and do wheelies.

>not doing wheelies to escape feelies

Enjoy your Prozac faggot

You realize nakeds go plenty fast
And wheelies are more dangerous than "going fast"
Also only scum does that on the street
Also youre super insecure
Also post bike

What's wrong with winter?

I posted it last thread. Red CBR650F. Can't repost until the old thread falls off the board.

Also, post yours.

me in the middle

Remember when if you wanted a hardly you would order one and you could have it in a year or more because they were sold out everywhere. Look at the state of them now. The fad has passed.

>89hp
>460lbs
This is not a fast bike

He already is, in his shed by the sheboon.

It's too fucking cold to ride.

>post your trailer queen
My shitbike has seen 150k km and a few drops and crashes.

I’m not gay or a boomer, I swear. I just like slow comfy things that are loud and dark red.

So, what is? Your harley? Your ninja 250? Post it.

>Can't repost until the old thread falls off the board.
?

Gay boomer pls

What's rust like on that cage of yours?

Clean image, excuse the chicken strips. Pic was taken not long after I bought it, and is the least blurry one I have.
Taking pictures in the cold and rain and wind is hard.

Muh FZ1 (naked) is faster
Pretty sure most 650 nakeds are faster because they are lighter.
You have no right to be a cocky faggot about your """"""""sport""""""" bike

No one even cares
You race ur bike lil bitch?

Im old as fuck.
But i use to race motocross
Street stuff is just too boring

how many grils did you get so far

Almost none. It had one bad spot in the trunk that I fixed this summer. It’s been extremely well cared for. Family heirloom of sorts.

Which is why you choose to idle about with a bike that only shines when breaking the speed limit

Don't envy you at all

And just like that, you show yourself to be a nobike.
Not my fault you can't handle banter.

>not joining the dual sport master race
Nigger what are you doing

Haha. Youre trying to hard kid.
>muh fast cbr650f
Kek
I have two dual sports though

My 2006 Hornet would spank that CBR650F. Having ridden the CB650F before, I'm so much happier to have bought the Hornet.

>I have two dual sports though
So post them.

Your opinion is invalid, namefag.

Take your name off it's gay

I don't care how buttflustered you get, you still have a POS. Nothing can sheild you from the truth.

sleep tight big yellow

...

Was it that hard?

>thinking about trying motox boots for street riding

am i dum

Why does Honda occasionally make an absolutely amazing bike that destroys all competition, but then makes boring bland cuckbikes the other 95% of the time?
