I am probably gonna get my first motorcycle soon. I have narrowed it down to a Yamaha R3, Ninja 500, or Triumph Scrambler 400X. Thought about a Ninja 650 or R7 or maybe a ZX4RR but I figure I will drop it at least once so I'd rather do that on a cheaper bike while learning.
Probably gonna just get one new, I can afford it.
Any advice on which one you would pick? I mostly am interested in street riding, maybe a decent bit of highway stuff and possibly some cross state roadtrips.

I had a crash last January when commuting to work (literally as I was turning into the parking lot). Ever since, I've been afraid to lean. I'm a newfag at bikes, how do I get better? I can still do my commute, which is the main reason I have a bike, but I'd like to do longer rides.

>>28853337
nice, have you watched totw2, bakuon and supercub? thoughts?

>>28853337
Depending where you are r3 are everywhere used but a majority are missing lights, ninja 500s are theft prone. Figure out insurance rates on sport bikes first, it might end up pushing you to the triumph for a few years till premiums dip. Premiums on new rider sport bikes are 60 a month and up with only actual cash value coverage instead of full. I have to have a separate theft insurance to keep prices down.

>>28853339
did you figure out what you did wrong?

How come scooters never wave back? They always give me the nastiest looks. Harley riders wave back more often than the scooter guys tobequitefrank.

>>28853369
It happened too quick, I've been running it back in my head, best I can think is rolling on while already leaned over.
There was a bit of frost on the ground that day, but not enough make me slide.

I know the feeling but the want and feeling to lean more came back. I just go through sharp city corners slower now.
You were wearing gear right?
>>28853374
How fast did you go and did you lean away from the bike or into it. You should be counter leaning in parking lot speeds.

>>28853379

dont forget you have no grip in the cold, not because of ice but because tires dont grip well in the cold by default.

because waving is gay. real men just nod their head.

>>28853365
I have not seen any of those but I will add them to the list
>>28853367
Yeah, I like the idea of cheaper premiums on a smaller bike to at least figure out if I will even enjoy riding a motorcycle. I am leaning R3 right now purely based off looks.

>>28853373
I would wave back but nobody waves at me when I'm on my scooter.
and I'm not gonna instigate a wave, that harley boomer probably doesn't think I'm the nicest people just cuz I'm on my honda

What to expect from an ‘04 600cc silverwing? Can I do anything with it outside of more storage add ons?

>>28853337
Get the triumph or a naked bike. It will actually teach you how to ride and later you can specialised into what you want.

>>28853390
True, I'll keep that in mind. I do like the summer a lot more, I can tell the tires stick to the road a lot more.

>>28853380

R3/mt03 are good just keep in mind you absolutely can just repair one of the many that broke the turn signal housing.
>>28853476
Yeah, you probably did the same thing I did when I low sided my rebel. Thats counter steer speeds still and you should be going slower if you needed to lean that hard in that kinda space. The only bike I have been able to lean in and figure 8 below 20mph was a grom(passed msf like that).

Never thought I'd comsider buying a jeet bike, but that Himalayan 450 been on my mind. Seems like a great light ADV bike, handles drops very well, and reasonably priced. I like the Ibex/MT 450 too, but I'm more worried about the long-term reliability with those ones. The bad thing about not buying Japanese is the depreciation hit is going to be brutal in any case, whereas I can buy a Honda and not lose much if I decide to sell it later.

Damn, I wish I wasn't a poorfag and didn't have to think so hard about a few thousand dollars.

I think you should sit on all of them and see which one feels more comfortable if you plan on have big trips on them but if you really prefer one over the other don't let that stop you! i did a 10h highway trip on my first bike, a 350cc air cooled sumo and while it was a miserable experience it wasn't because of the bike itself.

I spent a summer in the UK for school and I don't think it rained more than a couple of times. They were in the middle of a "heat wave" that was perfectly pleasant to me. I would have loved to have been able to rent a motorcycle when I was there. I'd have seen the entire country on the weekends. I was broke as shit the whole time, didn't have enough to rent a bicycle.

Can't decide between a used F800GS or an Africa Twin.
I'm still attempting to sell my dad's V-Rod to buy one of them.
My brother originally wanted to sell it to fund his boat, but he said if I wanted to keep it, he wouldn't sell it and would let me have it.
but I have been fence-sitting on it for too long, so he ended up just buying his boat anyway.

>>28854633

I'd take the V-rod, honestly. I've never cared for HD personally. But out of the three I'd take the V-rod then the Africa twin.

I know scrambler looks cool but for whatever reason it has slightly different gearing than the standard Speed 400, for the worse.


Also guys what is a bike that signals you're an asshat? Will Ducati Diavel do it?

>>28854148
It used to be British but what happened was they were producing Bullets on license in jeetland so when RE proper went bankrupt they just remained the last men standing.

Generally outside of Triumph, the British brands were taken over by jeets.

The Chinese do similar things with Italian brands. You get motherfucking obscure shit like SWM bought by Chinese and they start selling their motorcycles and scooters with those brandnames for some reason. I don't know, Shineray seems as exotic as SWM to me but Chinese seem to have obsession with Italy for some reason so maybe that's what's happening.

Uh, probably the rubber trim that they don't glue in, but prefer to rely on friction to hold itself together.
I know a lot of my tanks have that little rubber strip that likes to fall off around the tank.

i do but I hate the fact that I cant leave my gear with the bike when I go somewhere in it (mainly the helmet)
where I live, if you leave any brand helmet on your parked bike and look away for 5 seconds then its gone
i looked at the saddle bags options but most arent big enough for a full face helmet and these bag/box cost a fortune for some reason
with ADV I could easily fit a topbox to put shit in
I guess there is a topbox for the vrod too if I really look for it

I must admit i wanted a RE guerrilla but the local dealerships where asking so much for one, OTD price i could buy a barely used z650rs for that and it didn't feel right.
caballero 500 and speed400/scrambler400 was another pick but couldn't find one locally unless brand new (and they are even more expensive)
again i was really surprised by the timing of finding this 'ku, i didn't even knew about the 3rd gen pilens.

Also the best thing is that since it was so cheaper than anticipated i decided to gift my mom her own beta with the money from selling the sumo,i would have left her mine but the sumo is a bit taller and she wanted a dual sport.

Yeah that makes sense, got the feeling it was pretty silly looking when I tried it out. Im guessing an open face helmet is my best bet because a full faced or 3/4 helmet on this thing makes me feel like I’m wearing a fedora. Shouldn’t be an issue if I never leave town with it.

It's classified as a Maxi and I think you're going to love it. I know I would.

only tangentially related but it reminds me of what happened with denim and japan. after occupation there was an obsession with americana. as american manufacturers moved on to projectile looms that could produce fabric faster. japanese mills imported the old shuttle looms that american factories were getting rid of. the lower throughput of shuttle looms and focus on craftsmanship has led to japanese denim being some of the highest quality available.

True and I have. but I usually don't have the patience to do deal with some stuff. Escpecially when I can see in my mind an extremely simple thing to do something but some designer thought it was too simple. For example, the valves that I did. There is an acess panel for the valve cover which many other scooters make it big enough to make valve adjuatments. But Kymco? Noooooo. You have to remove half of the plastics just to get at the floorboard so you can finally have space to remove the valve cover. Even scooter guys cannot escape the engineer menace.

It hasn't got me hyped for riding yet
It's so over

How come we don't have a gacha where the girls somehow represent a specific motorcycle yet? Like the anime girl who is a Hayabusa or Grom.

wind is scary.
i was riding my drz down a 55 mph highway and it's just open farms on either side. wind was ripping across the road. i just tucked in and deathgripped the bars to try and stay straight. what are you meant to do about that?
