italian salesman asking if you'd like to ride the brand new "stretta" bike

>>28462944
checked
After riding a cruiser for the first time, I was looking at old goldwings and cheap visions. It's such a crazy looking bike, and I think it has an aluminum frame. You can still find them with low miles for relatively inexpensive.

Met a cute twink on a gsxr 750, he said it was too slow
He was cute though

How many Polaris Indians have you had?

>>28462944
>>28462949
Victory is unironically reliable as fuck and most their bikes use the same engine so part compatability is nuts.

My favorite victory is the Octane, which oddly enough has more lean angle than the scout amongst other improvements.

>>28462980
If they're so good why did they get shit canned?

Fren made it today on his first ride around town
Couple stalls but he did it bros

Why are bicycle faggots so gay?
I live in a blue state and its hell on Earth.
These people are so gay and retarded.

>>28462957
>gsxr 750
>too slow

>>28462989
Like, thats a fucking Ninja 500.
In a perfect world a Ninja is all you'd ever need.
It's the CRV of motorcycles.
But homofaggots would rather dump $6k on a gay looking children's toy.
This country needs to get nuked.
I don't even care if the Israelis do it.
I feel the jews are on my side over this its so fucking gay.

>>28462980
I think the freedom 106 only has like 8 gaskets total. Very interesting engine for sure. Octane was pretty sweet; I think it's engine was hotter than to scout, too.

Its cool to have frens to ride with. All me moto frens got married. Its lonely again shoom senpai.

Realistically motorcycles don't even need to exist but they do.
Why do $7000 cargo bicycles even exist?
Why is everyone such a gay pussy now.
I cant stand it.
Samson option the shit out of the USA, especially the blue states.
White Liberals make jeets look masculine.
Maybe the Iranians would be kind enough to send over some hypersonics too.

wow super based and redpilled

>>28463015
I just know every single dicksucker in one of those gay pieces of shit is the reason my passion is dying.
Is it the microplastics or the vaccines?
The sad thing about it is these milktoast faggots probably get more pussy than me too.
It's so backwards and inverted.
My hatred of these people grows exponentially every day.
We don't need a king, we need a genocidal mad tyrant, that agrees with me personally on an assortment of political issues...

Some who rides a bike to work every day would probably be able to beat you in a no weapons fight though how does that make them a pussy?

I think he was being ironic. He made the bike look so small

>>28463012
It's evolutionary dynamics. If a city has a ton of bike paths/lanes but bans lane splitting and filtering, people will buy ebikes over scooters and small motorcycles.

>>28463044
>>28463007

>>28463048
They let people filter here in CO.
The only people I see on bikes these days are mexicans, boomers, and the odd white kid that watches too much Gixxerbrah.
It's whatever is killing Testosterone in this country.
It's a real problem, its making the fucking cars gay too.

>>28462983
because the design language was on the way out, which is why they bought indian to try a new style without alienating their customer base, but then indian sold like hotcakes and theres no reason to cannibalize your own sales when you can consolidate into a single brand under a much more desirable name

>>28463052
its another aspect of safetyism, same reason people dont smoke as much, drink as much, have as much unprotected sex. we became way too k selected

>>28462983
because not harley

>Victory, Indian, Japanese cruisers
Everything, and I mean everything in your power to just not buy a Harley like a normal American male.

>>28462989
Why would you buy that when you could have a Honda CUBE for considerably less?

>I see guys jogging every night and they're still fat, the secret is LIFTING you have to LIFT WEIGHTS if you want to get skinny

>>28463028
I'm not saying it makes it better or worse; but relative to what a Harley engine looks like when it's opened up, it is definitely different.

>>28463012
Why do $30k motorcycles even exist?
Go buy a $2.5k bakfiets, you don't have to buy expensive stuff.

>>28463063
We've previously proven that bicycles are more dangerous than motorcycles.

>>28463068
You know, I don't even hate bicycles.
I enjoy riding my bicycle.
If fact, I think they're better than motorcycles in ways.
You can take them places you cant fit a motorcycle, you can even carry the thing if you hate too.
I cannot for the life of me justify a bicycle costing more than ~$1000.
There's people out there assembling functional motors and transmissions for far less than that.

>>28463058
I don't know if it's because I'm growing up or because I've drank enough fluoride to calcify my brain, but I'm starting to like Harleys.

>>28463074
I started liking harleys when I realized they serve in America the same purpose 150+cc scooters serve in the rest of the world, minus the storage.

>>28463052
it's not T levels, the culture has changed. also the insurance is expensive for a young rider so it's harder to get started. when I got my first bike at 18 back in the 2000s I only managed to get one friend into it. I imagine it's much worse now.

Lets see how long before I buy a clapped out FXDWG and bubba the fuck out of it, it will be glorious.

>>28462983
It's called marketing young anon, and victory was not that good at it let alone convincing the bleed heart harley/indian enthusiasts. They tried to sell during the American chopper era of crusier culture and when that bubble popped, nobody cared for that aesthetic anymore. By the time they cleaned up their image with the Vision, Vegas, and Octane it was just too late. Indian had the soul, the roots to grow from. Victory was just too new too quick. If they released their lineup now with zoomers and millenials amuck that would absolutely change. They're a good American brand.
>>28463001
Shorter gears, bigger cams, more lean angle, 4 more hp, slightly different suspension setup. Apparently the Indian only uses 30% of the parts of the octane.

>The world's longest burn out was held by a octane

>>28463074
> I cannot for the life of me justify a bicycle costing more than ~$1000.
:shrug emoji:
I can't justify paying $20 for a meal. I don't care about people paying that much and more for what they like.

>>28463075
Mine is loud and slow.
Looks nice and has no lean angle either.
The brakes are really bad too.
I really like it, I've had drunk women catcalling me and old guys telling me how nice it looks.
I like to go out to the country side of my state and just cruise through the fields, looking at things.
I'll even take it up to mountains and drag my floorboards around.
The heavy weight makes it feel so planted and stable.
I'd really like a Street Glide or even Road King for touring, but I love how nice the chrome looks.

cbr 125 and cbf 250

>>28463087
Sounds perfect for my area

>>28463091
Everything is old fashioned and kinda shitty, but on purpose.
It's very eclectic bit I kind of enjoy how sketchy it is, and the seat is very comfortable.
The brand new HDs are all very modern now though, they don't have the, "sitty, but in purpose" feel of some of the Twin Cams.
Also, my oil tank is real, on the M8 softails its a fairing.
Stupid little details like that.

>>28463098
Really bad autocorrect baby sitting skills on my side there

>>28463098
>old fashioned and kinda shitty
Just the way I like it. I'm selling the GSXS to fuel the shitbike army.
I'd probably get an old sportster with a kickstart and buy one of those alt to magneto swap things.

>>28463105
>I'm selling the GSXS to fuel the shitbike army.
wow, hes so humble

>>28463058
Harleys are cool too, and I'm probably going to get an FXR or wide glide after I sell one of my bikes lol.

I like Harleys but my dad said he'd disown me if I bought one

>>28463105
No, you want a Harley that works bro trust me.
These things are a bitch to work on.
My pipes block the fucking axles so I have to remove the exhaust bracket and shove the pipes down to slip the axle out over all of that chrome...
Dynas are the affordable used bike to modify but they shake hard really badly.
Sportsters, the engine is literally backwards from the rest of the main line bikes.
I'd say get a carbed Evo of some sort but parts are drying up for those too

>>28463116
>>28463105
Kinda scatter brained but modify a Low Rider, thats the bike all of the dirtbike kids like.
They take a lift and suspension swaps well, there's probably even nobbies out there for them.

>>28463082
>>The world's longest burn out was held by a octane
wtf, that's great. Also, I think this is the Freedom Factory before it was the Freedom Factory.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFcgsbWpQo0

For several years now, my dad has been slowly restoring his 64 sportster for me to take over. Last summer we had it repainted in the same blue color he painted it 40 years ago, and even found the same old style decals for the tank.

Right now it is almost put back together, just had a new battery and some other parts. He still hasn't started it yet, but he is very old and his knee is bad so I'm not even sure if he physically can kick the starter hard enough. He hasn't ridden this bike since the 90s; he gave up riding when my older siblings were born.

>>28463127
sick
You gotta go get it fired up for him, anon.

>>28463127
U need to kick it bro, u got to do it

>>28463116
>My pipes block the fucking axles
I feel like custom pipes are pretty common.
>the engine is literally backwards from the rest of the main line bikes.
What does that mean.
>get a carbed Evo
I don't know a ton about Harleys, but that was kind of the plan.
Kickstart kit
Magneto kit

>>28463120
So what exactly is the low rider? What makes it different from a sportster?

I dig this one that shows up in a lot of Biltwell promo

>>28463088
Your bike is like staring into the abyss, I can't look away and it horrifying.

>>28463139
NTA but I think he means sportster engines have the final drive on the right side of the bike, all the other models have it on the right side. The low rider was a dyna, when the dyna line was put out of production they re-introduced it as a softail. Same as the fat bob and maybe some other model I'm forgetting. Both sportsters and dynas have the two rear shocks on the back but dynas have a bigger frame/engine basically. The bike you pictured is a sporty.

I may not wanna stunt, but I do wanna learn this Dhalsim technique

>>28463078
I didn't start riding till last year when I turned 25, so my bike insurance was pretty cheap. But when I started driving around 2017 all the way up until 2022-2023ish my insurance was fucking awful. I have never had a ticket or an accident, and It still took years for my car insurance to get below 200 a month. Insurance is fucking expensive for a single dude under 25 now. It's no wonder young guys aren't trying to ride now. There's no way in hell I could have afforded it back then.

>>28463145
>all the other models have it on the right side
All the other models have final drive on the left, not right. I'm an idiot.

>>28463139
The sportster has the primary, or the belt side on the other side.
There's some reason for it but I forgot.
The big engine bikes have the belt on the left.
It doesn't matter now because the nusportster is a water cooled thing from SE Asia.
The touring bikes are the hardbagged bikes.
The other bikes are the "small" bikes with the same engines, but sometimes a lower displacement by a few inches.
The bike everyone lifts and modifies for performance outside of the touring bikes is the Low Rider, usually.
The stunt bikes are usually modified Low Riders, or Sportster 883's.
Sportster 883's are actually geared slightly better than 1200's for big bore kits.

>>28463154
>The stunt bikes are usually modified Low Riders
You will see a lot of Super Glides and Street Bobs too. They're practically the same to begin with and almost indistinguishable after you mod it for stunting.

>>28463158
Sports Glides, they all kinda work you can do it to the Heritage too.
The best wheelie bike I've seen that don't have modified bags are the Low Riders though, less fairings and better steering rake.
I'd like to stunt out a Streetglide, or Ultra with the top case removed, the batwing fairing looks so good but not the new fairing.
All of the touring bikes are car priced bikes though, so I don't think about it too much

>>28462957
Why are you gay?

>>28462961
It's pretty dope, ngl.

>>28463145
>>28463150
I see. What does that effect.
>>28463154
>the nusportster is a water cooled thing from SE Asia.
bleh
>Sportster 883's are actually geared slightly better than 1200's for big bore kits.
Is this the only reason the 883 is still relevant? Any time I see it mentioned online, people are just shitting on it.

>>28463162
Idk I've just been told by HD techs that they have tighter gears and are more fun to throw performance mods at.

>>28463060
Is an ADV bike just a sport tourer that have got the scrambler treatment?

>>28463168
If by "scrambler treatment" you mean replacing SOULFUL 4-cylinder engines with P-twin slop, then sure.

>>28463162

>>28463144

it's just the way it is

>>28463173

What do you think, dbt?
I can't decide if I like it. Going to roll like that for a while and see how I feel about it.

>>28463201
Squeeky shoes ahh

>>28463201
Also, remove the chain protector/mudlflap and see how much better it looks.
Also. Get a bright red or yellow rear spring. It looks really cool from the rear.

>>28463196
why the grips so skinny tho

>>28463206
It's Italian

>>28463132
>>28463137
One day. I live on the other side of the country and it's hard to make it out there more than once a year, I'm lucky if i can twice. I'd love to get down and wrench with him but it just hasn't worked out like that. I know I will regret not having done that immensely when he's gone.

These pics are all at least 40 years old; scanned from photographs my mom took after he finished building the bike the first time. Hairstyles were pretty bad in the 80s but man, my dad was always so proud of this bike.

>>28463201
I think it looks better without them.

Now I know you're trolling.

>>28463253
You don't need all that. Trust your master link and if you're treating that gixxer like an art piece it's not like you're riding in the rain anyways.

Hot Wheels
Beat That (meat)

>>28463168
And ADV is essentially a sports bike, cruiser, scrambler and tourer all in one but better than all of them in each of their respective categories.

>>28463340
Cruisers are just about style and that is one thing most ADVs sorely lack. I can really only say the Africa Twin, Ducati, and T7 actually make an effort to look good. Oh, and the old KTM 950/990. GOD DAMN those bikes looked hot from the right angle.

>>28463055
Polaris Indians aren't great.

>>28463208
>I live on the other side of the country
looking at your pictures makes me feel like it's the other side of the globe

>>28463251
my dad didn't use a dampening mount and the back of his phone turned to powder inside its case
if it's plastic you'll be fine, if it's glass you'll be fine as long as you dont take it out of the case

>>28462893
i think he did it on purpose...

>>28463162
where do leg go?

>>28463352
This looks like a bird, and not in a good way

>>28463251
You can get cheap ones now that have the dampeners in them. Pic related is what I use, ~$30 on AmaZion.

>>28463074
yeah expensive bicycles outside of competition boggle my mind. the whole deal with a bicycle is that it's so simple, so cheap, and so light it barely exists. it's supposed to be a near-transparent way to quintuple your walking speed. dockless bikeshares (despite being mildly evil) show this - they literally leave them lying around in cities with a bare minimum of anti-theft, and still turn a profit while just straight up eating the inevitable losses.

>>28463251
just get a quadlock
theyre relatively inexpensive and good

>>28463116
>My pipes block the fucking axles
I don't like Harleys but axle-exhaust interference like that is pretty common across all bikes. my 80s UJM you have to unhook the shocks to maneuver the rear wheel so you can pull the axle out around the pipes

>Former viffer rider buys slower gayer yamaha
Its all gay

Should i get a 2 gallon fuel bag that will come in tomorrow or a 3 gallon bag for $10 more that will ship a week from now for my dual sport

>>28463256
I do ride in the rain and I don't want the chain slinging oil everywhere

>>28463520
1 gallon of fuel is a hell of a lot of weight and even more rackspace for 40-ish miles of range. I'd pick whatever eats up the least amount of other gear that also lets you still cover the stretches you plan on riding.

>>28463503
Atleast it's a he. You're fine anon.

>>28463496
It's a Honda ST1300, which is basically a goldwing-lite. It's my dad's bike, though I do ride it a few times per year. I like my F800ST more, but that's mostly because his custom seat causes me to slide forward and crush my nuts against the tank, and also I like my bikes weighing less than 700lbs.

>>28463503

Should've gotten a real bike.

>>28463546
You live with your parents? Fucking Loser

$800.

>>28463582
Nta, but I live with my parents and made $80k last year and I'm on track for $90k by the end of this year. I'm waiting for interest rates to drop soon to buy a home. I can also now be competitive on the market and purchase in cash outright in hopefully a year as my living expenses are just $50 a month (my parents don't even ask for it I just Cash App my dad $50 because I feel bad).

>>28463582
Nta, not from the US, we live with parents until we get married. I used to live separately, but moved back during Covid, have been working remotely ever since. My expenses are next to nothing, just saving it all up.

>>28463589
Get a used Suzuki or Honda anon.

>>28463582
I net $65k CAD per year. Which means I might be able to afford a house in 80 years. There's no pressure for me to move out, I have a good relationship with my parents, and my current lifestyle is far more comfortable than it would be trying to scrape by each month to make rent on a shitty apartment shared with a half-dozen jeets. Only 2 out of the dozen or so friends I keep in touch with from highschool have their own place.

>Nigga said 90k is poor
I'd call you brain dead but you're beyond that. It's straight comatose hours.

Staying with your folks is a luxury and privilege, a life can be slingshot to success if the conditions at home are right and non-stagnant.

Nice and dirty

>>28463802
90k isn't much at all depending on where you live.

>>28463802
>can slingshot into success
Yeah
Then you have those types of parents actively sabotaging the attempt
Lmfao

>>28463785
They're nice if you don't plan going over 30mph and you don't mind every boomer teleporting over describing how he had one 40 years ago

>>28463809
90 grand is 90 fucking grand. If you choose to pay more by living in an expensive area that's not the money that's on you trying to keep up with the Jones.
>>28463810
Very true, many such cases. Crabs in a bucket erodes the soul. However if you breakthrough that it is reality changing or if you have parents that genuinely want to see you shine then it's fantastic. Not that I'd know lol, my folks are batshit crazy but chill enough to let me stay at home to build a foundation for my life as I figure it out

>>28463822
Places where 90k is a lot don't have jobs that pay that much. Ya silly goose :)

>>28463825
I live in a broken down steel town and earn 90k a year because MOTORCYCLES were invented over 100 years ago and you can just commute to where the jobs are.
When I lived in NYC, it took me 1:10 minutes to take public transportation from little neck queens to downtown manhattan to work. 1:10 minutes on a motorcycle can get you from any broken down city with cheap houses and not much else but old white people to the nearest city with jobs paying 90k a year

>>28463831
>When I lived in NYC, it took me 1:10 minutes to take public transportation from little neck queens to downtown manhattan to work
Why do city people do this to themselves

where the FUCK is tzr twink?

Back in 07 on the way to school I first saw this black Super Blackbird with gold accents in front of a house which I thought looked fucking cool and is probably what got me interested in motorbikes. I walked by that house again today for the first time in years and the Blackbird was there but covered in dirt and cobwebs, clearly not ridden in ages. Might be my destiny to buy it.

>>28463949
make an offer anon

>>28463949
If that bird is Red with gold accents and has the updated headlight and not the old headlight then you very well might be looking at the fabled 50th Anniversary blackbird. Which featured numerous refinements and upgrades such as suspension and weight savings along side a small bit of extra power from a bored out 1200cc engine

Or its just a normal cool bird with gold on it, but if it's red you should check.

no it couldnt retard
you have exactly 1 second to understand whats going, digest it mentally, react, and make your move
and thats if the truck to the right doesnt close the gap while hes still stopping
oh and never mind the debris, you just gonna bunnyhop over that?

its painfully obvious youre a nobike

>>28464087
this is your brain on cruisers. A liter could have went to the left and the 600cc line would be to the right.

Would Duke series with fairing be a good answer to Yamaha R9?

>>28464093
firstly, you dont have the time to react/think
the guy literally locked his front up because thats all his brain had time to do

second, the speed you think you'd need to be doing to pass on the shoulder, youd hit the black car as its still in the lane

third, going right you hit the debris and other traffic

fourth, no bike, neck yourself.

How does one keep from violence in these situations? The uncle that turned me into a biker once had something similar happen to him. He got up, and came close to hospitalizing...the passenger of the offending car.
>I just saw him get out of the retard car, I had no idea he wasn't the driver. Even the driver that got side wiped into the ditch got a few kicks in.
He didn't get into too much trouble, but it was also the 90's. I don't think if I lose my shit I'd have the same luck.

One day I will sell my motorcycles and buy a scooter.
When I look at people riding motorcycles, I always see dorks and fags. Doesn't apply to me ofc, I always look cool on a motorcycle.
When I look at people riding scooters, I often see guys with girls on the back. This looks cooler than any motorcycle rider. Except for me ofc, I always look cooler than anyone else.
I'm not a fan of scooter ergos, but whatever, a chair is a chair.

>>28464395
sorry

>>28464087
my honest opinion is it's possible to flick fast enough to avoid that but I'd wager most riders aren't quick enough. not to mention you have to process what's happening and make a decision on whether you're braking or swerving...I think a certain percent of riders on a supersport could possibly avoid it but man that's a hard ask. most people will not get away unscathed in this situation. we're all just speculating anyway so...kinda worthless conjecture

I bought a 2003 Suzuki Intruder today. what did I think of it?

Hello, fellow Cruiser enthusiasts

>>28464439
congrats anon

>>28464446
No I'm a sad lonely anon

if i put knobbly tyres on my old gixxer and tie a sleeping back to the pilly, im not an adv biker, r-right?

>>28464439
very interesting that someone would put a titanium pipe on that
probably worth more than the rest of the bike, so congrats

>>28464467
Do you feel adventurous, punk?

>>28464439
Idk anon what did you think of it

>>28464401

>>28463499
It's a 2017 FZ10
I bought it used with like 5k miles with the pipe and tune already on it.
I'm thinking of trading up sometime soon to a V4 or Hyabusa tbqh

>>28464470
That's a stock pipe after the engine misfires.

i bought the 701 a few weeks back, finally did the first longer ride with it today, doing all the old roads i did years ago, before i sold my old bike.
i gotta say the 701 is GREAT, im so happy that i didnt buy a 959 or V2 panigale like i almost did.

its ridiculously easy to ride fast in the corners, suspension etc. gives tons of confidence.
had the rear tire down to the edge within a few mins of riding, and even when you slip a little due to those asphalt snakes it doesnt freak you out a bit. i had some serious fishtailing going on when accelerating out of a corner with a lot of them, but feels like nothing to worry about.

all in all just GREAT, i should have swallowed the supermoto pill a decade ago.

anyways, im already planning on buying a second bike as well, just gotta get rid of my second car first to make some space.

>>28464541
Gratz anon, that thing looks like a blast.

Has anybody noticed if humid affects how long the lube lasts on their chains?
It's been uncharacteristically humid lately and my chains are getting dry after like two rides. My buddy noticed the same thing on his bike.
The chains on our bikes have a good amount of miles on them but they are still in good shape.

im getting sick and fucking tired of this retard recycling someone elses gixxer picks and acting like its his bike(s)
fuck off back to r*ddit you drone

>>28464574
yes, but which one?

>>28462902
I'd do what I did and use a (one-trip grade ONLY no fucking scrap!) shipping container then fit a cheap dehumidifier. It solves collector bike and partsstorage sweetly as you can park (non-baggers) one deep down the sides and ride in and out thanks to doors on both ends (never omit that).

A container as a controlled inside room in a factory or hangar is quite common in industry. My personal outdoor bike storage box has nil flammables and I can inert the whole can with one CO2 high pressure extinguisher of several from industrial auctions.

If you don't own the warehouse/shop but a container might serve better (they're far more dust-free than most rooms not to mention humidity and condensation). Accessories to move them are quite simple. A few hunks of large OD pipe make dandy rollers.

>>28464568
It's a husqvarna 501, I've made some changes to make it a little more roadable. Rade/garage is the place that makes the tower
>>28464578
Thanks man

>>28464596
>501
how are the service intervals on that one?

>>28462983
Because failure to recognize motorcycles are toys and that the cruiser world is also about folk art.

The first looked like someone waved a magic UJM wand over then and had gearbox issures. Later ones had some interesting styling but those looks failed to move enough product now the early 'oughts Harley famine.

The public voted Polaris off the island then of course liked semi-traditional Indian whose Scout is tidily done and performant.

>>28464599
Not great, not terrible. I thought it would be a bit more opressive honestly, but I ride the piss out of it and the oil changes are so quick it's hardly a bother. I did get the recluse clutch cover which expands the oil capacity noticably and increases the interval, but I still change it every 15 hours or so out of habbit. It's nice to have the option to take it past that if I wanted to, though, and I have for some multi day stuff. The rebuilds are what most people worry about, but unless you're literally racing these bikes then the intervals on those can easily be doubled or more

Dirt chads won
Want to tour? Big ADV - giant dirt bike
Want to have fun in the street? Supermoto - dirt bike with street wheels
Want to commute? Midsized ADV or Dual sport - upsized dirt bike or dirt bike with plates

Young riders who choose to wrench can save absurd money, so I did when I was one and I'm not special. Works the same for cars and trucks, and the sooner ya wrench the easier the rest of your life becomes.

So i was drinking in the shop and wondering what I could do with some random parts.
Like....can I use 2 swingarms for rear suspension on a quad (?)
Then I just started thinking....what if I took 2 identical bikes, added a cradle in-between them with a seat and married/mirrored the controls to both bikes and basically built a quad with dual swingarms outback and each front wheel on their own forks and 2 functioning engines/gear boxes.
Maybe even make the center cradle a "clamp on" like a side car so the bikes aren't actually destroyed and could be separated when the project is shit or even split off to use during the day at glamis and then bolted together to ride over to comp hill at night and just hang out and drink....

>>28462832 (OP)
I want an armored glove for heat and cold (all weather/season) under 70$ with armor, for a FAST MOTOR bike.

What are my options? Pic related?

>>28464591
Why do I itch just looking at this image.

>>28463079
You can of course mix and match similar models and paint as desired so if you snag a Dyna with a narrow glide you can install a wide glide in several hours then sell the leftovers online.

Fecesbook Marketplace took over from Craigslist but I still check it and even printed trader papers now and then. See also Fecesbook Dyna and other HD and parts for sale groups.

Mags sell for much more than spokes and won't get cheaper so if you get a Dyna with mags selling them is currently easy, Ebay being highest priced.

>>28464583
You are fucking retarded or blind lmao

>>28464594
Thanks for the idea, anon.

Desu I think the sport versions of the road glide and whatever Indian calls their fixed fairing bagger are sweet

>>28464608
>under 70$ with armor
not happening

The CVO RR is actually pretty sick. Just give me that same lean angle on a production bagger with a removable windscreen and all my prayers are answered.

It’s like Yamaha didn’t even try, they use plastic tank covers over their standard pot tank so they don’t have actually make anything worth your money

>>28464640
Ok, under 100$?

What's the best i can do?

>>28464691
Maybe because I work at an HD dealership but Indians are gay lol.
The Scout was kinda nice though.
My local POLARIS dealership burn3d me bad tho and I refuse to return.
It's always so demoralizing when you go to buy a motorcycle and the lot is full of boats and side by sides.
It means the motorcycles don't really matter at all for them when they can just sell a stupid fucking boat to some boomer...

>>28464700
Can't say I've been to an Indian dealership that was welcoming desu. Always have pissy attitudes. Very Hipster feeling

>>28464705
I went to the local Indian dealer and got straight out ignored. Both the Harley place and the big Japanese dealership were on point, though.

>>28464695
Kawasaki has always been on top of the game with aesthetics/body lines/ overall engineering.
Someone can min/max all they want but if you tell me "you have to ride random X class, pick one" im going with kawasaki every time.

>>28464695
The Z looks way better than the XSR but it costs more and doesn't have nearly as many tech features- for people who care about that shit. I see people compare them a lot but I think for people that are seriously considering buying one or the other you see pretty quickly they're not THAT similar. Z900RS has more in common with the Triumph modern classic lineup IMO. Triumph even went through the trouble of making fake carbs and I just have fake cooling fins like a poser.
