I like to have sex with many beautiful women, what is the ideal bike for me?

what's the catch? why should I spend 2-3x as much when I can get one of these?

>>28523100
>bandit 1200cc 2004
>2k

lol theres something wrong in there brother

>>28523097
Something with a manual 6 speed transmisison

What are the most important numbers here?

>>28523097
unironically

>>28523103
any bike for $2k CAD is gonna be sus. I'd take my chances on a 20 year old Bandit over a 20 year old Ninja 250

>>28523110
Gearbox

>>28523105
Dude, what?!
Every bike I've owned was a 6 speed manual.
125cc - 1047cc

What the actual fuck is wrong with you people?!

My bike has enough calories to feed me for 2.5 years.

>>28523087 (OP)
vroom vroom and shit

>>28523119
Im using a gearbox from a 37hp bike to dump 120hp through...

Pretty sure I'm gonna blow it apart like OP's mom on prom night.

Getting close to a test run.
Stay tuned....

>>28523122
Honestly do love your vids bro.
Keep posting
BTW, "air" is a verb AND and adjective....

is the 1290/1390 platform good enough to deal with KTM's bullshit? I want a 1290 duke r as my second bike, while still keeping my japanese bike as my "primary"

>rode Ninja 300 for a few years
>loved it but want a faster bike
>looking for something mid size and easy to ride like the SV650 or MT07 but haven't found a good one
>HAVE found dozens of R6s, GSXR600s, CBR600s, and ZX6Rs in that time
Should I even consider a 600 or would I hate it? I liked everything about my 300 and just wish it had double the power, I don't want some insane race bike I'd be scared to ride.

You good my guy?

I got a smax. It's my first bike thing so I can post here now .What should I do with it first?

Suzuki has fucking done it again.

Haters will say "this is too expensive compared to the Z900RS which is basically the same price."

What the haters don't realize is that this is an instant classic. It's the real deal, backed by Suzuki's unwavering commitment to reliable and balanced designs. Reviewers all rate the 8R/S as topping the middleweight charts for good reason. When the manufacturer of the tu250x, sv650, gsxr750, and Hayabusa tells you to buy their new retro naked, you sit your white ass down and listen.

>>28523133
>digits of truth
Name her.

>>28523141
She will be Max because I am not original. May she bring me much joy and grocery runs.

>>28523120
Four and five used to be very common, young man
When I was a spry youth older guys fondly remembered learning on three speeds

>>28523141
why not let the lil steed stretch her legs before any bullying?

I got a mini laptop that fits in my tank bag so I'm gonna go riding a long way tomorrow.

>>28523127
EX aficionado here.
Some issues-
All the nippon 4 have different geometry.
If you're comfy on a Kawi, a Suzuki feels weird.
So its not about " this bike is better".
Its about "this bike is better FOR ME"
For the record I've owned all 4 so im not pushing a single brand.
Since you have mileage under your belt I'd stick with Kawasaki.
You want to step up your game so we're in 4 cyl world. Fuck big bore twins, you'll be asking "why did i buy this monstrosity thats heavier and tops out the same on the freeway".
>disclaimer- I've never discussed the ZX400 but its an option.
Personally, I think the ZX-6R is where you're at.
Literally has the hp of 750s/900s that the old fuckers itt rode/are riding but is lighter and familiar.

>>28523145
>young man
Pic taken 30 seconds ago

>>28523151
The point of big twins is to have more of the power available at lower revs. If you like running at full scream all the time yeah they're pointless, but I don't, so they're nice.

>>28523140
Fucking parallel twin slop

I bent the Shit outta my factory risers/clamps. OEMs are $200, aftermarket is $300 +tip, thinking I just hammer it back to square since I'm a cheap bastard

>>28523087 (OP)
I literally just crashed the first time in my life. Couldnt make the turn at about 60km/h with no gear and shorts. Just slided across the street. I fucked up my right leg and it hurts bad but its not that deep. Bike is fine mostly, only scratches as far as i could tell yet. Gonna check tomorrow for deeper damage.
Tbh aside the adrenaline i feal great, i always assumed when i crash with no gear im going to be dead but its alright even this fast. It propably helped that im driving this big boy which did not crush my leg like most other bikes would.
Calling in sick for a week i guess.

>>28523155
When you open the throttle, who wants to rev?
A lumpy 2 cylinder or pic (?)
Post the math.

>>28523128
I think you’ve got me mixed up with one of those youtubers

>>28523158
nigga motogp was literally all 500cc bikes before 2002

>>28523164
You like crashing, right?

>we are literally /o/s preferred vehicle

>>28523169
Uhhh, not that I recall.

I decided to ride a little later at night than i usually do. There was a zipper merge and I was ahead of the guy behind who was accelerating to try and cut me off so I started to shift over and brapped the throttle stepping in at the last minute. The assumed EBT American with the white acura MDX behind me turned on their high beams and started to go over the center line and cut me off. I gassed up and got back in front again. I could tell they were going to chimp out and maybe try to harm me next. so I used the bike lane to move up ahead and leave them behind me. Low and behold a whole swarm of EBT Americans were taking the whole stretch of road for their outdoor party smoking weed and drinking probably where the driver was going. I get out of there fast. I got home and all i could think of was beating the shit out of them. I think I will get home by midnight from now. At least don't do Friday nights. Too many weirdos and animals on the road late.

Isn't it crazy how he actually wheelied across the finish line? It was pretty close but he did it anyway, what a legend he is. Fraudkek can only win on the fastest bike, that's why Rossi is the GOAT.

>neighbor's honda spree

rip gn125 anon? did he die, or get a life off /o/?

My friend burned his leg on the hot exhaust last week, but he's a severe alcoholic and he keeps rubbing aloe on it with his dirty hands and now it's all rotting and infected.

>>28523296
He killed himself (actually)

>>28523301
>crocs
He deserves nothing but death.

>>28523301
This is how it looked before, it wasn't even that bad. All he had to do was put a tegaderm on it and not touch it. But instead he keeps glooping on aloe, with no covering and only wearing shorts so a bunch of dirt and germs are going inside. He doesn't believe me that it's infected either because he thinks the growing pink ring is normal.

>>28523304
damn that's sad, his gn love grew my appreciation for those 3rd world bikes. rip

>>28523308
What's wrong with crocs?

I kinda don't care for the whole biker wave thing

>>28523259
I'm getting it fixed yes

Resuming my clutch dump from yesterday. I got the correct thread locker, and I finished everything up. Here the back plate is installed on the new Hinson clutch basket. A generous amount on Loctite 272 is applied to both the bolt and hole threads. The bolts are then torqued to 40inlbs.

>>28523335
Where the bolts peek through the basket, I staked them.

>>28523337
That's all the exciting stuff. The rest is just a regular clutch assembly. Here the clutch center is held in place with a tool from EBC, and the lock nut is torqued to 87ftlbs. It is also staked.

>Got bike
>Like it a lot
>Love it so much I can't stand riding it hard and wearing it out faster
>Now looking at chink bikes to abuse
Does anyone else have problems with moto-gluttony? I wish I could just be happy with what I got.

>>28523340
Here's the fresh Dirt Digger clutch from Barnett set into the basket making sure to place the B clutch plate first. The rest of the clutches and steels are installed as normal.

>>28523318
I don't get it? They're great for going to the mail box or when you're taking a shower outside of home for example.

>>28523341
moto gluttony yes, but I also beat the PATOOT of everything I own.

>>28523345
You may notice that one of these bolts are different from the others. I had previously snapped one of them. The extraction was pretty easy as I just used the snapped bolt head to un-thread the rest of the bolt.

>>28523087 (OP)
Got some new tank grips on the Buell 1125 and I'm getting Dunlop Q5S' installed first thing tomorrow morning. Gonna head straight to Ortega highway once that's put on and rip through there. Also picked up an airbag vest today.

>>28523351
>Buell 1125
based as hell

>>28523350
All buttoned up. This clutch cover is made out of magnesium which I thought was pretty cool, and OEM replacements are still relatively inexpensive.

>>28523353
And this was what this was all for. You can see the grooves worn into the old clutch basket in pic related. You can dress these with a file, but you'll be doing it over and over again. After I put everything back together, the bike rolled much easier in gear with the clutch pulled in than before. That and motoring through the clutch at stoplights was what prompted replacing the basket. Hopefully this solves it.
Thank you for joining me in the conclusion of this clutch dump.

>>28523353
Congrats on a job well done

>>28523360
Thank you, anon. It feels good.

>>28523140
If I spend 2k less I can get a GSX 1000, brand new.

>>28523162
How is the restoration going anyway?

>>28523311
Your friend is stupid, I'm sorry. He has to learn this lesson.

>>28523341
Car and mot gluttony, but I beat on my cars and bikes hard, like this hard.
If it breaks down due to my own retarded actions, fine then. We can rebuild him, we have the technology.
If it breaks down due to some fucking stupid design bullshit that isn't my fault, fuck that piece of shit, not worth my time and effort, to the scrapheap it goes.

>>28523140
The Z900RS is prettier, has real analog gauges, has more horsepower, and more cylinders. The 800cc ptwin Suzukis are all crusty dog ass besides the 8R.

Do older women like motorcycles? If yes then what kind of motorcycles?

>>28523140
Green and gold is cool

>>28523270
Its actually Suzuki. Gg.

>>28523511
If Suzuki is the best why can't it win anything anywhere? They're losing at the race track and in sales. I really wish Suzuki were good but it is not.

>>28523161
Man I want one of these

Tips for cooking while solo camping on a motorbike? Country towns don't really cater to buying small amounts of protein and I don't really want to eat half a kilo of chicken at a time. Do I just have to keep my uptake with canned tuna?

>>28523560
Gas stove in a pannier

>>28523562
I have one, more meant what to cook.

>>28523566
Anything you manage to put down, the dingos/foxes and crows will eat the rest.

Why does everyone feel ashamed of falling? It means you're gitting gud.

>>28523566
Franks. Delicious boiled or grilled, quick to cook, go with rice, beans, hash etc, dont take up much space

>>28523572
I'm ashamed of falling because it was 100% my fault. I knew better but got too excited. My hip still hurts sometimes.

>>28523544
Sometimes progress comes from the strangest places.

>>28523545
Yamaha. I wonder whose feet they have on the Suzuki website

>>28523572
As you get old it starts to hurt more and more. Less of a pick yourself up and dust off and more bruised for the next week even if you dont break anything.

>>28523599
Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places, if you look at it right

>>28523617
Did he get caught on that twig or what happened? Shit launched like it's one of those AI Slop videos.

>>28523624
You cant hear it but his mate called him a gay cunt so the only course of action was to turn the motorcycle into a projectile weapon.

>>28523627
Ahh, completely understandable and justified then.
I'd throw my bike at my mate too if he was sober and called me a gay cunt.

>want to start tracking bikes

what do

>>28523341
>>28523345
ride your bikes hard, imo. My little klx is on clutch #3 at 11000 miles from rippin wheelies and roasting trails
Had an r6 that I got up to 48k miles and I hardly tolerated running below 8k revs

>>28523712
sometimes the truth hurts brotherdude

>>28523712
your bike will be faster if you do

>>28523714
Also reduces wear on tyres and suspension. Its a win-win

>>28523693
If you’re too cheap for full leathers you’re gonna hate how much your average track weekend costs

Music is like Kando - you can't see it, you can only feel it. No wonder Yamaha makes both: music and Kando.

Do you match your music with your ride/bike?

Feels weird riding my Japanese tourer while listening to blues, for instance. But I also don't listen nip shit

>>28523731
No, you might be autistic if you think the manufacturer of your bike has to match the music you're listening to.

>>28523482
>except the 8R
Aren't they all exactly the same except for the fairing?

anyone here rides with pic related?
tried that today for the first time and it was pretty nice

>>28523140
the Z900RS performs better and does a better job of looking retro

>>28523761
I sleep with them sometimes and leave it on when I commute sometimes.

mt07 is obsolete now, suzuki beat them
https://youtu.be/v4ON89psYKE

>>28523793
I can't agree anon, so many good bikes in this category. Duke 790, Husky 801, SV650, CB 750, F900R, Duke 890 and so many more. Its difficult to say without looking at the actual sales number. I wouldn't be surprised if Honda is eating everybody's lunch.

>>28523742
Then more than half of 4chin has 'tism. Its really a low bar.

is this what tennylife feels like?

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4XhIiEsWGtU

>>28523813
Makes it look so easy

>>28523793
I like Suzuki, but I would still take the FZ07. The aftermarket is too much not to consider.

The sea, finally.
My unholy charging system works, the engine works, rear wheel is bent out of shape, front forks are bent, probably crashed at some point, but it just works so that's good enough for me.

>>28523827

Suzuki doesn't have shit

>>28523857
Suzuki is shit!

Any of you cunts ever tried beeline? Smol simple direction/gps/compass etc?
>inb4 just use ur phone
No, paranoid about fucking it up. Thought about buying a cheap shitphone just for the purpose, but then you may as well buy a dedicated unit,.

>>28523845
Is onsa supposed to be jewish?

>>28523881
>200 bucks
Yeah nah, fuck off. If it was like 100 bucks then I'd get one myself just to have a speedo

>>28523885
After posting that i realised the fucking thing is just a repeater display anyway, needs to bluetooth to an android phone. So fuck that. And fuck you ryanf9 for not mentioning that when you were shilling it.

I thought it was just a nice little unobtrusive multifunction unit

>>28523883
Yes, curly hair, scheming hands, shady business.

>>28523890
Bros a huckster and nobody can convince me otherwise
He’s the Linoos tech tips of bikes

>>28523890
Yeah exactly, 200 bucks for that is way too much.
The age of cheap GPS units is long gone anyway

>>28523881
It's an aesthetic choice, not a good gps unit. If I cared about ruining the classic look of a cruiser, cafe or something then for sure, but it's way too expensive for what it is and that's because they know guys will pay for aesthetics

So many people I know have traded their SS for an XSR or MT-09. Is the SuperSport meme dead?

Had a run through the local fire roads, bike was looking too clean, was fun until the tradie's arrived and clogged up the road.

You guys that can ride the interstate and not hate humanity within 20 minutes are made of tougher stuff than I am. I don't care if it's 75mph+, that shit drains all the joy out of riding.

>>28523923
One of these days I'm going to get run over by a drunk retard and his toddler in a polariz

>>28523937
It's either dying to a sxs crossing too far over a blind corner on the FS road, or dying to a duelie with trailer crossong to far over a blind corner on a FM/CR. Such is life in the zone.

>>28523881
>>28523885
>>28523901
but what would be the best option? just a cheap smartphone to tether internet to? wouldn't i have to worry about two batteries draining then?

to be fair i'm getting a bit paranoid of messing my personal one out riding too, i have a work phone i barely use that has no sim in it and i could stick a quadlock thingy on a case and use that

>>28523935
I try to avoid highways and stick to smaller roads even if it's longer just because highways are boring as hell.

Also there might be a hint of oil leakage in my valve cover gasket, will have to look into it once I get home.

>>28523951
I just use OSMAND in a tank bag (w padding) on voice navigation for premade routes. Only downside is the screen won't be bright enough for noon day sun and it can get too hot in the summer. But tossing it back in my pocket cools it back down.

>>28523955
And pic didn't upload

>>28523956
that's what i've been running too but i have no tank bag and my phone is right on my handlebar w no windshield or something so it's quite exposed

>>28523958
she just needs a new gasket

>>28523951
Guess so. For basic maps and gps it shouldnt need a sim. Set up routees at home on wifi.

>been looking at italjet dragsters for about a month and I'm not willing to spend more than 1.5k on them.
>Fucking F9 makes a video about them.
I guess I just won't buy one. I guess I can justify not having another ugly bike in the garage.

>>28523996
Yeah. And shilling that useless beeline at the same time. Leaf cunt. The poetry at the end was good tho.

More bike, yay! I got this sucker right off the lot with 0 on the odo. Holy shit, this is my favorite bike I've had so far.

>>28524000
I haven't seen the video, but I assume it's about the hub center, which is why I wanted one.
Around here they're all fucked receiving little to no maintenance but I still really wanted one.
I very nearly bought one a month ago >>28468619 but the owner was completely unreachable.

>>28524004
I can't believe it. We found the one anon that not only bought the bike that he posted he was going to buy, but is also a hasbike.

any issues with using por-15 in a tank?

>>28524004
take off:
reflectors
big ass tail
passager footpegs
stock exhaust

and u'll be good, except for the front transformer looking bullshit, cant get rid of that sadly

>>28524004
What have you had before? I want to trade in my 390 adv with a naked of some variety. I looked at the mt03 because my wife wants to learn to ride, but I don't know that going from a 390 to a 300 would really be worth the expense

>>28524016
Buy and R1 and give your wife an erection

>>28524009
Its all about the hub center and how its still a bit shit because instead forks have had a 100 years development due to old tech limitations. Likens it to the qwerty keyboard that was designed not to jam mechanical typewriters.

>>28524013
Going to the dealer sucks ass, it was 2 hours of bullshit cause I wanted to finance. I would've bought it outright, but they ran a 3% on cards and wasn't about to pay for a wire either.
>>28524015
No
>>28524016
I've had the following
78 Honda CX500
02 BMW R1150RT
01 BMW F650GS
I still have my dads old 93 Harley Fat Boy. It's got...many problems though. I needed something inexpensive I could ride all the time, but I didn't want someone else's fucked up project. Therefore, MT-03. I considered an R3, but the dealer didn't have one. Ninja 500 was another option, but they only had gray ones (gross).

>>28524009
>about the hub center, which is why I wanted one
Same, but with the Yamaha GTS1000

>>28524027

>Fat Boy
>why yes i like to ride the occasional fat boy, how did you know?

>>28524004
Congrats bro. I rode my friends MT03 and that engine genuinely hauls for what it os

My scooter bro is now a Vstrom man now, we spent most of yesterday teaching him how to ride clutch and getting the hang of it since it’s been 6 years since he took the MSF.
But after a couple of hours something seemed to click for him, he then rode it home an hour away in the middle of the night.
The next day he called me up thanking me so much for recommending it to him and that he loves how comfortable, powerful, and capable it is.
He is the third person that I’ve recommended the SV650 engine to that has had nothing but positive things to say about it since they got it. If it wasn’t for my love of inline fours I’d probably be a Vstrom too, the SV650 is so perfect. Thanks Suzuki!

>>28523097
1. Has to be sort of comfortable to the passenger.
2. Not an adv that's middle age men thing
3. Not a cruiser that's old men thing.
your age doesn't matter btw.
4. Take off all your bags and shit
5. ~40HP is the minimum. The women don't know what horsepower is but you have to be fast enough to overtake trucks or else she'll think it's a slow bike.

>>28523989
That is a new gasket.
Issue is I cut new head studs from threaded rod and apparently I cut them a tad too long. The studs are hitting the valve cover so it doesn't seat completely.
The smart thing to do would be to pull the studs out one by one and shorten them, I'm going to try double stacking 2 gaskets and then cut them to proper size when it leaks yet again.

>>28524043
The most important thing is that it revs and revs and revs for what seems like forever. I love it!
>>28524035
Let's see your bike

>>28524061
I forgot - loud exhaust but the screaming not machinegun type of loud.

So if I had a pre 2000s engine, even if I pump e10, I'm just massively fucked? And all so corn farmers can get more subsidies because people are eating less HFCS?

Well done, feds. You're pushing me to only shop at places with ethanol free gas with this dipshit behavior.

>>28524066

its an R1 all right (I own it + it doesnt have reflectors)

>>28524070
I couldnt help but notice no pic attached. If it looks so good then surely you have pictures!

>>28524074
Thanks it looks gorgejous, i dont really take any pics of it tho, guess im just that kind of guy

>>28524069
>Minimum 4 gallons
Uhh what? I mean some pumps over here also had like minimum amount 1 litre or such, but 4 gallons? That's just dumb

>>28524078
Nobike detected

>>28524080
It's because if you don't have an e15 engine and you pump only 1 or 2 gallons, wirh the e15 left in the pump, you're getting higher than e10. 4 gallons is a the minimum to make sure you don't fuck up your engine over time.

I've never seen this shit near me in my state before today. I fucking hate it.

>>28524087
Hol up, I'm slow and ESL, are you saying there's only one nozzle or what did you exactly mean?

>>28524084
ugh fine, heres my R1

>>28524090
Yes, sorry, I worded that like shit. One nozzel, e15 and e10. You go.to pump 1.5 gallons of e10 or whatever. Because the pump and hose has .25gal or whatever of e15 left in there, oops, your classic bike just got e12. Oops.

Thank god in yuropistan it's required to have a separate nozzle for fuels AND they have to be clearly labelled and colored for even the most retarded of persons to be able to differentiate them.

for me? its the Continental SM2.

>>28524110
that one is not for grownups bikes though

>>28523748
The 8R has better components and iirc benefits more from an exhaust+reflash. I've actually seen it do OK in Twins Cup.

>>28524115
>grownups bikes
for me? its the Continental Sport Attack 2.

>>28524104
It has a very linear powerband and it has a lot of overall approachability. I've yet to get into a situation where I feel uneasy about some situation or another. The Harley I'm always worried about something breaking or shorting out, not to mention it's sheer weight making maneuvers inconvenient.
Other bikes were shades of similar problems: the BMWs had drivetrain related issues and the Honda was on 50 year old suspension with bicycle width tires. It was cool, but yikes.

The only thing I'd change is the gearing. I'd prefer a little more spread between the gears. I ride around town doing 45 in 6th, which is...suboptimal.

>>28524120
>the Honda was on 50 year old suspension with bicycle width tires.
people rode the fuck out of bikes like these for decades, you'll be fine you wimp;

>>28524106
ur no fun :/

>>28524120
That R1150RT sounds like it was just ridden to death. How many miles on it?

>>28524125
You ride a bike with a drum rear brake and a bouncy/wobbly rear end 200 miles and see how you fare. I nearly got killed on it, so I was happy to see it go when I sold it. I miss it a bit, but it would've killed me.
Let me be clear, it was the age on the components that were the problem, not the overall design.

>>28524118

>>28524136
Nah, it had been sitting in a detached shed for 5 years. A rat nest was in with the timing belt (I think it was a belt, I can't remember. It was gross.)
The guy I sold it to figured out why it was squeamish to deliver power. Something about the rear wheel tone ring being out of spec. I dunno, I dropped that thing a million times. Such a pain in my ass. He traded me 1-for-1 his manual E30 super eta with 300k miles on it. Seemed fair to me! Pic related
>>28524133
Bike and timestamp or you're a lying nobike

>>28524136
Oh, as for mileage, it wasn't terrible. It had been across the country with my parents, so though the desert and what not. But that was long before it had been parked.

Fuck br/o/s. My friend finally found a milk crate to zip tie to the back of his bike to carry shit. But it has this legal warning as well as the manufacturer's and owner's name on it. I also checked and incredibly, the state I reside in DOES have a law specifically prohibiting unauthorized milk crate possession and use. This is a huge billboard on a bike that one is actively breaking laws.

In Florida, a man was jailed for unauthorized milk crate strapped to his bicycle. So it's not that this is without precedent.

What would you do? My friend really wants to use this crate. But how would a person hypothetically remove the manufacturer and owner's name? It is injection-molded into the plastic. And I believe that would net a person additional charges for obscuring evidence.

>>28524158
Also, I should mention that the company who owns this milk crate declared bankruptcy several years ago and their assets were moved into a holding company. I am unsure if this hypothetically affects anything.

>>28524158
A man chooses. A slave obeys.

>>28524165
Yes, I am all for not bending the knee at every single opportunity. But this is different. One could not claim ignorance, or that one didn't know. Or that one got the milk crate from someone else. Or even that one has the company's permission to use it. The fact that the legal warning is (semi) permanently affixed would give one no legal recourse.

>>28524162
Sounds like a public domain crate to me.

>>28524137
>You ride a bike with a drum rear brake and a bouncy/wobbly rear end 200 miles and see how you fare.
NTA but that's me, drum rear, drum front, neither works, rear wheel bent out of shape and the whole bike rocks back and forth at 50kmh.
>>28524148
That's just fucked up, laughed anyway.

They make SuperCibs in Thailand. You act like those fucking things aren't the cockroaches of the motorrad world.

>>28524180
The tip top halo bikes (the only ones you should be wasting your money on) are still made in their country of origin.
Yes the "Made in Japan" stamp and extra displacement/power is worth the price premium.

>>28524180
Except for China and Italy, other bikes are fine.

What cheap bikes have good front brakes? My 310 has atrocious feedback, no initial bite. It stops fine, but even with sintered pads, nothing.

BTW, are there sintered pads for scoots? 125 scoots with sintered pads would be wicked.

Instead of wasting two hours larping about owning a bike, you can spend two hours financing one and then talk from experience. Well, you'll obviously need to do MSF cause I seriously doubt you have your license, nobike
You can even waste your own money making the bike objectively worse like you recommended I do.

>>28524158
Behead all milkcrate jannoid satans

>>28524248
There's this guy I work with that won't shut up about buying a starter bike.
He refuses to fucking finance a $5k beginner bike.
He thinks a $5k loan will send him to the poor house.
Some broke faggot 45 year old coworker keeps making comments about selling his soul to a bank or whatever.
It's like $90 a month and maybe sub $1000 in interest payments over the course of 3 years or whatever.
It legit is pissing me off, you have a 750 credit score just stop wasting your money on weed and fucking do it already.

financing a bike is retard nigger tier decision, let alone a 5k bike

>>28524173
Indeed they are, as much as I love my Fazer, I still miss the SV650S I started on some days.
It was garaged for years and had rust on the chain and everything, battery was nearly dead and tires were way out of date.
All things I did not have the money or wrenching skills to fix, on top of that, the real clip ons were difficult for me to figure out as a new rider and I ended up dropping it 3 times in the maybe 10 times I ever rode it
If I ever had the money/stability to get into track riding I would definitely pick one up again

>>28524279
>Paying for a milk crate
This goes against tradition

>>28524283
>financing a bike is retard nigger tier decision
ok Mr. Ramsey

>>28524264
why finance a bike? if you get a first bike for 5k you could get a similar beginner used one for less, or get a better used bike for those money. i'd consider getting new or from a stealership only for trade in of current bike if you don't want to sell it yourself/don't have time to deal with retards wasting your time on marketplace or other selling sites

>>28524264
Compound interest (also known as usury) is a crime against God, and so is knowingly engaging in it, especially when it is not required for one's immediate survival (e.g. buying a motorcycle).

It's incredibly easy to get financing. Fuck wasting time, if you can afford it. Riding is such a blast, I wish the rain would take a break so I can log some miles. If you can't afford $100/mo to ride a bike, you don't like bikes. That's okay. But why show up to a bike thread if you aren't gonna participate in the hobby.

>>28524340
> im lazy as fuck brah
Disappointing
>>28524352
A bit. We had to replace the roof and AC unit on the house not long ago, and that was paid for outright. I'd rather have the cash reserved and the interest on 5k is effectively tax that europoors have to pay anyways. I could've bought it outright, but why would I when I don't have to?

>>28524360
I would not advise testing the patience of Americans driving land tanks

>>28524309
Why would anyone lend money and not expect a little more back?
It's not the bank's job to just give you money and expect less back.
It's just fucking stupid, of course they want interest or there wouldn't be money lending at all.
Of all the things to hate about banks you want to hate on them for letting you buy things you can't immediately afford?
So this guy just has to waste a year or more of his time NOT RIDING a motorcycle while he pinches pennies?
Be a BIG BOY and just finance the shit like an adult.
