If you have a bike and don’t go 200mph then seriously what’s the point. The only benefit a bike has over a car is the speed

Someone must have really needed a heart transplant.

>>28547550
What?

>>28547557
You didn't see that organ donor go flying by? Motorcyclists are doing good work out there.

>>28547549 (OP)
The whole experience. Whether it's taking flight off of jumps of a dirtbike or easing the bike through a nice road just enjoying being alive.

I have 6 or 7 bikes, none of them can do even 100mph reliably.
My favourite bike barely does 55 without blowing up.

Guzzi/Ural anon?

You can do that second bit in a car. So many risks riding a bike compared to a car the only way it seems worth it is the speed you can do

>>28547590
I think you missed "the experience" part. Anything short of a Locost really is not the same.

>>28547595
Alright man if you say sooo

>>28547579
Shit, that obvious?
The Guzzi might be able to top 100mph now that I rebuilt the engine, but wind resistance limits it to like 80 and under.
I did manage to hit 200km/120mph on the speedometer and I know that at 120kmh/75mph it's off by 10kmh, so maybe it can do 180kmh/100mph now, who knows.

The "55" and "blowing up" immediately brought the Ural to mind. If you had just said 7 slow bikes I would have guessed a dirtbike/from/minibike hoarder.

The benefits of a bike are acceleration and ability to filter through standing traffic. You get to not interact with idiots on the road. Blissful.

>>28547637
>You get to not interact with idiots on the road.
why do so many bikers choose to "interact" with cars, then?

>>28547549 (OP)
>the only benefit
If you haven't ridden a motorcycle before, I'm not eloquent enough to explain the appeal. I might as well try and explain the joys of drawing. If you have ridden one and you didn't feel anything different from sitting inside a car? Then yeah, why bother? On nearly any measure of comfort or practicality, a Kia sedan comes out ahead.

But the appeal of a motorcycle and not being able to see where a dirt road ends isn't about comfort or practicality.

>>28547549 (OP)
Then post your H2R. Don't have one?

120mph on my Harley feels faster than 200mph on my R1

>>28547549 (OP)
You can't do cool poses while croozing like I can with my step through frame, though.

>Sitting upright
>Hand on throttle
>Scoot back
>Extend legs and swing right leg over the left
>Gallon jug of Arizona sweet tea on thigh acts as an arm rest
>Going down the 395
Is one of my personal favorites

>>28547549 (OP)
Avoiding wind buffet over 100 or so mph is one of the things a car does well.

>>28547549 (OP)
I don't want to be fast. I just want to crooz. Thinking of getting a trike.

>>28547844
Motorcycle + side car is the way.

>>28547844
Can’t see how the risk:reward is worth it if you just want to cruise. Get a car

>>28547853
You get the feeling of riding a motorcycle but if you pop a front tire you don't risk having to layer down.

Excessive speed on public roads is retarded, go to the track if you like speed.

you should be safer while riding a motorcycle because if you crash its just you theres nothing else between you and the crash

>>28547649
Idiots ride bikes as well

>>28547853
if you don't ride like an idiot (extremely fast, above your skill levels or what the situation warrants, or drunk) it's not nearly as risky as you think. The statistics are hilariously skewed by idiots
