I actually have a scooter as I am too poor for a proper motorcycle and yeah I think they are actually the best. I have a Honda scooter I got for $1200 on Marketplace and the top speed is 65 it's comfier than riding a proper motorcycle cause you have a proper sitting position. I've ridden a dirt bike for hours and it gives me a wedgie after a couple hours. I went on a trip from Vermont to Ohio on my Honda scooter it feels so comfy

Have you seen the retards on the road now? I used to ride, 15 years or so, I would say around the time of Covid people started doing seriously stupid shit, especially the new zoomies driving and the 90 yr old boomers that still have their license. If you look at the accident reports its usually some 70+ year old woman killing a 20-30 year old man. As much as i absolutely love riding i decided to give it up for now.

I was looking into buying mt 03 but I would have to first try riding a motorcycle to se if I like it. When I tried driving car I hated that I couldnt really feel the width of the car so I was always worried if I will bump into something. I was always fan of bikes and I love that motorcycles are similiar in that, agile and smaller than a car. I would love to have one but I cant buy a used one because I dont trust anyone selling it and I have no friends that could help me wiyh that. I am afraid of buying a new one because for me 6 k I can afford buht I worry I might regret it because its a lot of money.

American motorcyclists have a big attitude, their response to a car pulling out into their path is "how dare you you fucking fuck" instead of braking and swerving around the obstacle with a blip of the horn. Their lack of reaction gets them killed.

That's just confirmation bias. While you are more vulnerable and exposed on a bike, it's insanely easy to lower your chances of death. Like wearing a helmet and not being drunk take a massive chunk out of the odds of you dying. Another thing is not doing stupid shit like weaving in and out of traffic at 180 at 5pm on a Monday. If you ride in a very predictable manner and pay attention there really aren't issues.

Most death statistics are inflated by teens on sports bikes and drunk boomers riding without a license.

I can understand why you'd want an ADV if you're doing a lot of road miles, but you can't outgrow a DRZ if dual sports are you thing. It's a big boy bike with plenty of power and plenty of options for getting more. The only things that can beat it are the WR250 (which is a pure dirt DS and can't haul cargo worth shit) or a KTM or CRF450 with dogshit maintenance intervals for yuppies that spend more time beating dick in the garage and pondering gear than riding. I might trade it for an XR650 for moar cargo and air cooled sovl tho.

You could ask at your driving school. They usually have a ton of bikes in that range. I didn't know anything about bikes either but I'm glad I started with a beater. I dropped it a couple of times, crashed it, slowly learned how to properly maintain it (ie neglected maintaining it or did it wrong for a long time).

A lot of my friends have rode motorcycles since we are teenagers. We’re in our thirties now and all of has have had accidents that either severely injured or almost killed us. Frankly, motorcycling in America is retarded. I might buy a new motorcycle exclusively for track use or maybe a dirt bike for the trail, but that’s it. I’m keeping it strictly to track and trail now. There’s nothing dignified about your life ending like road kill.

sport bikes are very fun but very dangerous.

the principal problems are the following:
1. bikes are slower to stop (very limited decceleration due to low weight)
2. bikes cannot manouvre independently of their position on the road

the second one gets a lot of people. in order to turn left, you must first drive over a section of road to your right. this is required in order to put your centre of mass in the correct place to compensate for the turning moment induced by centripetal forces of the turn.

ofcourse, what happens if theres something there already? well, youre a bit screwed. You can shift your mass to the left with your bum, and it will induce a turn from a straight line, but because your mass is small relative to the bike, the radius of the turn will not be great, and you will probably not turn quickly enough.

a car is objectively *more* maneouverable and agile than a motorbike. this is very unintuitive, but is true, and i believe this discrepancy exists because people confuse the relatively small footprint occupied by the bike (thus making the road feel "big") versus that of a car.

riding a bike requires significantly more concentration, and risk taking. it is impossible to ride a bike with the same risk level as a car because again, you are less maneouvrable than the cars around you

(except in one dimension: acceleration. infact, that should be your principal "get out of emergency" tool: open the throttle. for this reason I believe low-hp bikes to be legitimately dangerous, because they lose out on the one hail-mary that bikes can allow themselves.)

He's got a point though, but so do you, when I was a teenager I bombed around on a 250, which was an absolute blast from stoplight to stoplight. I got older and moved up to a gsxr. Riding at night on highway in noticed something in the road, and was on top of it before I had time to react. It was a fucking 2x4, and luckily I burped the throttle and that was just enough to take weight off the front and I bumped right over it.

>too bad riding a slow bike fast is a lot more enjoyable that riding a fast bike slow.
i often hear this remark, and it is actually objectively false.

unfortunately i fell for this meme, and was forced to logically explain to myself why riding a 250cc was so fucking boring. so allow me to elaborate:

when you ride a bike, the primary enjoyment is 'solving' the road as quickly as possible in one piece. the reason its enjoyable, is because you are proving to yourself your own competency: Your ability to judge your own speed, your own tyre grip, your own brake strength.

the closer to the 'wire' you get, the more enjoyable it is, because again - you are proving to yourself, that you have very fine judgement, very fine throttle control, etc.

a slow bike cannot possibly be fun to ride, because there is no 'line' to cross: you are simply holding the throttle open the entire time, at the maximum position. you are not 'judging' anything. you are not walking any fine thresholds. you might aswell tie it down with ductape and watch tiktok on your phone.

Therefore, for enjoyment purposes, it is **imperative** to purchase a high horsepower bike, where opening the throttle all the way will guarantee an accident. when you ride such a bike, you must be constantly alert: every control input can and will kill you if you provide the wrong value. A 150hp bike *cannot* have its throttle wide-opened in a corner, or at low gears - it will throw you off.

this is what makes it so much fun: you must be in full control, all of the time.

note to any newbies: anything under 80hp will be a purchase you will regret.

noted, yeah I’m not keen on speeding through stopped traffic, always keep it low gear and loud to let others know I’m around and will hop back in front of cars until next easy filter if it looks sketch (two big trucks or vans side by side, stuff like that), but that’s all just part of making good decisions in the heat of the moment, I blame me being white

>>509752637
you’re forgetting another key element of motorcycle survivability, which is frame size. Because you are smaller than everything else, you can make evasive maneuvers on paths that cars cannot physically take, part of being a good rider is knowing where your escape paths are at all times

i am aware that some people ride bikes for different reasons. theres nothing wrong with riding a bike for fresh air. or for aesthetics, to see the chrome glinting in the sunlight. to hang out with friends.

but the oft-repeated statement of "riding a slow bike fast ..." - its nonsense. you cannot ride a slow bike fast. you can only ride a slow bike slow.

only a fast bike can be ridden "fast" - where the bike has more power than you can put down, more power than you should actually use. thats what makes it so exciting. you have to make a concious decision, how much throttle you want at any given time - and the more power you have, the tighter the threshold is for what constitutes "too much".

this is what allows you to ride the bike "as fast as possible" - "...without crashing it" (the last bit is implicit but so important.)

no risk = no reward.

>>509753794
very true and very sad. it is very dangerous. i will never encourage someone to ride sport bikes, because i dont want to be morally responsible for their death lol.

each person must honestly consider their own risk tolerance and independently decide for themselves.

Have a Chinese Enduro that I bought for $1500. It's a great bike and a lot of fun within its limitations.
My main concern isn't me, it's all the other retards, plus those variables that only affect motorcycles. Like hitting a patch of algae at a creek crossing, or unexpected gravel in a turn. With 50% less points of contact, less mass and protection, and a control system that relies on gyroscopic behavior vs locked to a plane, you inherently have a higher risk of getting fucked up.
Not a primary thing for me, but a lot of fun in the right environment where other risks can be minimized.

youre absolutely right i got carried away. i myself started on a 125 and the first time i was on it i could have swore i was doing 70mph (it was 30). but for sure i cannot do anything under 80hp now, it bores me to death.

you know, the point at which i get bored of bikes is always the same: when im regularly pinning the throttle. as soon as that starts to happen, im bored and want to move on.

this is really key. i am a total diva and will straight up wait until the conditions are perfect.

no cars: dusk on a weekend is good, even better is very early morning sunday.
totally dry.
sun either above 40 degree inclination, or below the horizon.
not humid.
very important: a route, or circuit, i know like the back of my hand.

this is where you can open up and hit the limit.

even with all these variables you still get mishaps. shit on the road that wasn't there before, cyclists around a bend, gravel from recent construction work, or last but not least your own mis-judgement - too fast into a corner, brake too late, or even mechanical fault (false neutral when engine breaking). tyres can slip even in the best of conditions.
