Im confused about shifting. When/why should i use the clutch vs clutchless?

Use the clutch.

There isn't a scenario on the street when utchless shifting is absolutely necessary.

If you want to do it anyway, only on upshifts and only from second gear. Going from first to second without the clutch will ruin second gear.

You ~can~ clutchless downshift but your rev matching needs to be on point otherwise you're grinding/shocking the gearbox.

And this guy doesn't even know how to fucking shift. It's like letting a toddler have at a tall glass of water
Let him learn the right way first

Nope
It's a dogbox, it's made to be slamshifted day in and out for decades

Keep doing it and get back to me in a year when your trans is fucked

So is the new Ninja 400 any good?
50hp and 166kg wet weight seem quite nice compared to 40hp and 177kg the 300 has.

What was the last good bike Honda made? When did they go from making exciting unique godmachines to boring mediocre cuckbikes that get BTFO by their competitors?

look at Hondas ever produced haha

you can get heated gloves, pretty fucking expensive but riding with numb hands is pretty fucking miserable.

You know they make the fastest street legal bike in production around a track, right?

It looks fucking good. I don't agree with it either tho, especially since it makes 11 less hp than the regular z900. Dumb

no, more like every honda ever built

Just finished my first day riding in Vietnam. It started out hectic as hell but it’s much better now that I’m out of Saigon. The speed limit here is 60kmh but even that is often too fast with all the third world shit going on.

This guy is right. I've worked on dozens of motors that have received this treatment and if they didn't burn out the shift forks the dogs were rounded down to death.

Dead second gear is the most common transmission issue, occurs pretty frequently with translogic quickshifters that weren't set up properly.

Poser faggot shitzuki scum

Google translate failed me on this one, I think. All I got was "i'm a homosexual from Europe", but I'm 100% sure there was more to it than that.

grandiose Pfostierung

I got 'grandiose pegging', which just adds further questions (ones that I don't think I want answered).

Why would anyone bother with shitzuki or a kawi?

Any commercial riders on here? Pic related, I am doing up a cost comparison of various bikes that I was interested in using for my business. Estimated mileage of 20k km per year. Rough figures for now, haven't got insurance quotes on all the bikes yet.

The 125 is not that cheap to run and the nc700 is extremely frugal. The more you know.

Why would anyone bother with japscrap?

Try justifying the initial and operating price and you'll see why

What are you basing this on?
Also what about the initial cost of the bike?
Also suzuki will always be the most expensive

>m-muh cost of ownership
Have fun with your shitty pigfat Jap bikes.

Included:
>registration + compulsory insurance
>tyres
>fuel
>servicing

not included
>purchase price
>extra insurance
>labour for servicing (DIY)

What got me interested was how expensive tyres are for the 125. Between that and the short service intervals and lack of tax breaks for small CC bikes in my state, and it really struggles to justify itself.

You seem upset, maybe you should go out for a rip and clear your mind, that is if you can afford it :^)
