Explain why you don't have a motorcycle yet?
>>707884926
nothing quite says "I'm a faggot" like a motorbike, that's why the OP has two
I don't need to hide my small pecker behind a loud poser machine. I hide it in your dad instead

Git gud fggt
650cc vstar
Had one.
It was fun, but ultimately not practical.
Insurance was ridiculous (British Cuckadian here).
Just not practical for daily use.
I ended up selling it after I got a gf and bought a camera and using the left over to split the cost of a mini van with the gf.
Mini van so much better. Grocery shopping isn't a nightmare anymore. Insurance isn't a nightmare. We can go out of town to camp sites and just pull up in the minivan and that's it. Sleep in the back. No fuss no muss.
Kinda wish I never bothered with the bike but I guess every guy goes through that phase.

How much was your insurance?
Califag here and i pay $120usd/year for mine
>>707884926
Expensive insurance, highly stealable
>>Knowing you will never eat the tiny asshole of Kat from revzilla.
highside my life fam
>>707886582
$1150 for six months.
because I'm too young to have a midlife crisis
Because childrens be expensive and time consuming.

I feel sorry for fags who don't have track days near them. I'm an hour away from one and I plan on going all track no street next year.

jesus anon, do you have thieft, accident, uninsured, dildo, and dog insurance?
how many speeding tickets do you have?!

>>707886584
Never being passionate about anything in your life feels like this guys. They have no idea what fun and harmony feels like
>>707886972
then don't ride in the rain. get a quite bike, you don't even really hear it when you're riding it.
its pretty nice
>>707884926
Victory on left is mine
106 CI of rolling recliner.
>>707886080
What a gay gay bike, does it come with the bottomless leathers as an added extra or are they free? also only a 650 for such a big faggy bike jesus you should not be proud of that s.o.s
>>707887117
That was just basic insurance. I was a new rider though. New driver basic insurance for the mini van is only $1200 for a full year, so it's cheaper.

My daily Rider (victory is for long trips over 1k miles).
2007 Kawasaki Zx14
1400 cc. Just a white blur on the road.
got a 1199s panigale for the track. also looking for something smoother for the street.
>>707887423
It was $135 a year for me and I dont even have a moto license, just a regular drivers license
>>707887407
thats not a big bike
>>707887486
>mfw I know she'll never ride me
>>707887423
nigga I dont know what you are doing but you need to shop around. and tell them you took the MSF course, they never ask for proof
>>707886080
you can clean more than the engine and exhaust fyi
>>707887488
His fat ass is on pornhub too bahaha.
>>707886960
Tracking a ninja 250? It would be quicker to get off and walk around the track.
>>"Hi anon, wanna ride?"
Easy, I don't have a motercycle endorsement on my license.
If there was a law it would be against them they either go way to fast or way to slow. Plus my chevy can take most harly davisons in the quarter mile. Not to mention most curves as well.
>>707884926
In the event if crash, I'd rather get whiplash than a severe case of the dead.
>>707884926
Based on my experience driving in South Florida, I don't want to die.

harley's arent particularly fast...
Because I have 3,
>>707887897
It really would, thats why I'm ditching it
nigga250, not dropped = 2k
~08 600 no title =4k
~06 600 with woodcraft rearsets and clipons with rashed up bodywork = 4k
No insurance and no taxes on the buy? I mean fuck those yoshi fart cans go for $600.
A nigga250 and 2 fart cans and I could have a real bike. I'm losing money not doing it
1) I don't have the money
2) I can't get a license due to medical reasons
>>707888231
If you're out doing a bike in a curve it's likely the guy can't ride for shit.
>>707888367
*dumb bitch
Nearly killed myself. No more bikes.
>>707886763
fucks sake bro. find new insurance. mines like 80 a year for a 805 suzuki.
>>707888659
harley's dont turn for shit
>>707887897
or just be a poorfag and pick up a preped sv650 for the 2 grand I'd sell the nigga for
>>707888706
Right? That's expensive as shit for a tiny bike. Try Geico I pay 360 a year for 2 bikes. Luckily they count the ZX14 as a touring bike. Also glad they don't watch me ride it lol
1991 honda vfr. Horrible helmet, amazing bike
>>707889022
but....the VTEC?

Don't have the cash at the moment but saving up.
Don't know much about them had a dirt bike growing up and a atv.
wanna get a V7 II STONE
>Pic related
Anybike you think would be good for a newbie?
>>707889118
what vtec? It was built in 1991. it's a V4. 94hp, stock. Mine had the 2brothers left exit exhaust, and the carb was reeded.
>>707889142
lol, that's hilarious.
>>707889198
find me one that doesnt get its rev limited spanked with every shift and doesnt have fucked fork seals.

>>707889262
no 650 in a cruiser is beginner tier
>>707889142
Bahaha ok kid. Just cause you can drive a car better in GTA... A car would need to drift to make the corners possible on a bike. Most bikers live for sharp curves

This, someone answer this please
>>707889273
Seconded
>>707889284
sv650
>>707889542
any 250, no matter how many jokes people make on here. They are light, and will be plenty quick to learn on.
After that, an sv650 is decent. Stay away from anything bigger than that, though. Bikes with bigger engines are WAY too quick to learn on.
>>707889542
anything 600cc tbh. pick your poison
>>707884926
Those threads are cringy please stop them
>>707889597
how's the weight?
Fucking nobike cuckbois. I bet yoy get fuckt by tyrones bbc.
>>707889542
If it's a vtwin nothing under 1000cc
Sport bike nothing under 600cc
Don't waste your fucking money on slow turds you'll just hate them in a month and play hell to get rid of them
>>707889284
SV650 gen2 = 2 grand
ninja 250 = 2grand
ninja650 = 3-4 grand
take your budget. 250 is the slowest but looks like a sportbike, the rest are standards and the power is linear like a car. more twist = more power. dont start on a 600 or big v twin.
>>707884926
Because I'm not a faggot
>>707889786
bout 400, youll be able to duckwalk it if you are not a hungry skeleton and are over 5' 9"
The two white bikes are running projects. 1992 dr650 and 1995dr125.
The blue is a 2005 dr650 with a fcr carb on it and shock work.
>>707889716
dude.. unless you have a lot of experience driving a fast car really well, and understand the physics of all of that, don't get a 600 to start... unless it's an old 600 with low power..
you DON'T want to start with a bike that does 0-60 in 3-4 seconds. trust me
>>707889284
ninja 250, aprilia 125cc, or similar equivalent if you're inexperienced. Not fast, but easy
>>707889836
1000 in a v twin is quite peppy to learn on
>>707889990
The only right answer
>>707889836
that is if you live long enough to grow to hate it.
>>707890044
i started on a 1000.
respect the machine, its not difficult.
>>707890072
peppy
you mean whiskey throttle into a curb?
I do, infact i have two.
Favorite has to be her though
>>707884926
because i have a car
Street bikes are for fags
>>707890214
Hah
>>707890186
i started on the vfr i posted earlier... but i used to race cars. I understood how to use the physics to drive properly... but that thing did 0-=60 in 2.7 seconds. it was terrifyingly fast at first... that is more than most people can handle
>>707890214
only once but that was all it took
>>707890305
but that has nothing to do with getting a bike...
>>707884926
Cause my friend who drove one for 25+ years and was in all the bikers meetings and gangs but now he walks with a cane and needs a bank of oxygen cause of somebody's else's mistake

I used to ride the shit out of dirtbikes where there were no cars around. I don't trust other drivers. One 16 year old girl texting at the wrong time and you are dead or in a Christopher Reeves wheelchair. There are too many Asian drivers, old drivers, and clowns racing around in beat up cars who think they are Paul Walker on the road. I have never ridden a street bike and I never will.
>>707885234
1982 Goldwing GL1100; reporting in, not all motorcycles are loud-ass poser machines. I have a good exhaust system so my bike is nice and quiet so I can hear cars coming up behind me (useful since I ride the speed limit instead of racing like an idiot).
Also that whole "loud pipes save lives" thing is bullshit. Look up the National Highway Transport Safety Authority report,statistically there's no significant difference between the frequency of wrecks for loud bikes and quiet bikes.
>>707891025
picture of the strongman association one of these guys is number 1 in the world
>>707891737
wrong pic sorry
>>707884926
Because I'm semi-poor and live in western washington. If I tried, I could make it happen, but there's so god damned much rain I could only truly enjoy it 4-5 months out of the year and cops are fucking dicks to riders around here. I drive around without insurance no problem, but that's not possible on a bike.
>>707891001
Triumph t1 Bonneville, been slightly remodeled cause couldmt get all original parts
>>707884926
I don't want one. Does that fit your fucking one dimensional world view you shithead ?
>>707884926
mfw i made license but can't afford one
>>707890846
my vfr was 750, dipshit.
and 600 is a LOT when you've never driven anything that is extremely fast
>>707891969
Also, drivers here are fucking retarded. I knew a guy who's dad died because he got cut off by some dumb bitch too lazy to use a blinker or check her blind spot.
>>707892186
nope. you're defective.
>>707889273
>>707889400
>>707889525
sure go ahead and ignore physics. i like bikes but cars corner better
Just bought this queen a few weeks ago, havent pushed her too much. purely out of fear without proper safety and who knows whats on the roads. But taking her to a strip this weekemd to feel the full power
>>707892471
not necessarily. Have you ever looked at the performance figures for how quickly bikes corner vs a car with no downforce additions? bikes are intensely fast. Remember, the cornering loads on a motorcycle force the tire's contact patch into the pavement, creating more friction than a pure side-load
>>707890319
Might be perspective that's doing it but that looks like a kid's dirt bike
Besides street bikes are way sexier and sound way nicer
This coming from someone that doesnt even own any
>>707892531
>>707892531
Awesome machine but it's people like you that make other people think that bikers are douchebags.
>>707884926
-Too many stupid drivers where I live.
-It is winter half the year where I live, so what the fuck is the point.
-I need a cup holder for my drinks and couldn't be bothered to pop up my visor all the time.
-I live in the most heavily ticket city in North America (photo radar and traffic cams), so again the costs would outweigh the fun.
-Ever tried to eat cheezies on a bike? Didn't think so.
>>707884926
Used to ride. Two wrecks, neither even remotely my fault. I'm done with motorcycles.
>>707892820
Why, I drive respectively. I dont push the bike to 400km/hr, generally sticking to the speed limit. How do i give it a bad name may i ask??
>>707893076
"Just bought this queen"
Good for you that you care about safety and driving respectfully though.
>>707892657
I guess its possible there are enough down force on some motorcycles to make them turn faster than a car but i have a very hard time believing that in most cases a bike would be better. there just isn't enough contact area between the tire and road.
>>707890793
I bet you never tire of sucking dick for cash
>>707893402
Ok kinda get that, but to me she is one of the best road legal bikes out there and the respect i have for it that makes me call her that. As when im on it if i dont respect what it can do i'll end up wrapped around a tree
>>707893476
it's not always about pure contact patch. Take a look at slalom times and pure cornering speeds of lightweight cars like a lotus elise or mazda miata compared to heavy cars with a ton of rubber, but minimal suspension sophistication. I'm telling you also from experience, a proper sport bike will completely school all but the most well set up cars
>>707893896
alright i'll buy it. i guess your average motorcycle would be more performance driven than your average car, but I would be willing to bet a f1 car corners faster than a motogp. i would like to see a harley sporster compared to a honda civic
I ride a triumph bonnie like pic related, not my actual bike, just something I grabbed off Google.
>>707894574
sure, but an f1 car has a ton of downforce... compare a bike with a fast race car sans downforce.
>>707892531
>>707894275
We are kinda squad
>>707894847
why wouldn't you consider the downforce though?
>>707884926
I did, but I sold it in April/May since I needed the cash to pay for my education. I regret it so fucking bad
Do I get a new one, /b/?
>>707895011
if only because you can't really have downforce on a bike. you're right, an f1 car will be faster, but that's really only because of the downforce.
>>707894847
downforce is what makes it drive how it drives so kiiinda important
>>707884926
Mine got crushed by the state, got my licence taken for 3 years, got a 3g fine and now I have to go to court again to ask to get my license back as well as some courses and get my L's again
Because of this
>>707895003
squad up fam
>>707895668
And because I can't post without autism like this happening
>>707895161
okay even if we take the downforce out of the picture, you think the fact that you can lean into the turn would override the huge difference in contact area?
>>707884926
