Thread 28468430

Isn't it weird how buying your first beater 125 and turning from a car guy into a bike guy suddenly makes your dream vehicle drop from $3m to $11k for a low mileage one?

>>28468430 (OP)
I'm not even a bike guy but I'm considering getting one because of price alone. Bike guys got it so easy if you discount dying.

Welcome to life of poors. I want a GS or Africa Twin or Vstronk 1050 so bad.

>>28468430 (OP)
Ah so the hobby is a cope.

>>28468445
Sure but it's a nice cope. Bikes are fun. Not everyone can become rich so you might as well enjoy your life with what you can get.

My xjr1300 is worth maybe 7k on a good day so what you say is true.

I own the motorcycle equivalent of a very rare Ferrari and it cost me $11k

when i was a HS my mind was pretty set on getting a 60s mustang but after i got my gsxr i completely stopped caring about cars. i have owned my 1st gen SDR1290 for 10 years now and still love it.

There were 30 of these brought into the country. Before I bought this, the only other one I'd seen was in the Ducati museum in Italy. Get compliments everywhere I go. And yet they cost less than just about any interesting car that's worth owning, while being way faster. It just makes sense

Cool Duc, I want a RC51.

Great bikes. That era is my favourite, fast enough to make me shit myself but not so fast that I can't use all of its ability. I've probably only got 100whp, when its rebuild time it'll get a bit spicier but its still enough power to do 150mph as is. That's enough for me at the moment.

Isn't it weird how a minor fender-bender, in a car would turn you into a drooling retard, on a doner-cycle?

I don't see how bikefags buy a bike that can do 140mph and think "yeah I need more, I need to get whipped by the wind even harder"

>>28469309
Little nigga don't know what a windscreen is

>>28469309

"Car guys" aren't smart nor rational, they'll buy whatever the long-nose man will shill to them/

>>28469394
Bike guys aren't particularly smart either

>>28468430 (OP)
But an r6 is $12k minimum these days

>>28469460
The only race track near my city has geen closed for a few years and it seems more suitable for supermoto than supersport due to it's small size. Therefore I'd rather have something more suitable for the streets. A dual sport might also be better than r6 because there are some offroad tracks near me.

All I ever wanted out of a grocery getter was a regular cab pick-up. Easy enough and done.
I also already have my dream bike. The truth is that having your dream bike just makes you want more bikes to do different things.

>>28469608
Is that Lawrence?

>>28469610
It is.

>>28469149
this fatass confuses (organ) donor with doner (kebab) haha

>>28468430 (OP)
Dont forget that best part about bikes is that since its 100% fun hobby thing theres actualy choice left. If you want some 60s air cooled v-twin you can still buy it brand new from hoorley or indian. If you want 60s muscle car, good luck.
