Essential Any motorcycle riders here? (Official Motorcycle Thread)

[Swirv]

no.


inline 4s sport bikes have no power? breh do you even ryde?

They don’t have a lot of torque. You do have to rev them hoes up to access the power. Twins definitely got them when it comes to low end power.

Absolutely. I know I might end up pricing myself out, but simultaneously it is something I wanna have a crack at. The LiFan motorcycle in particular I'm fond of. The brand isn't exactly unknown. If you ever bought an engine at Harbor Freight, well LiFan makes those. In fact they used to make a lot of Honda stuff in Southeast Asia.

Anyways, I'm not quite into cruisers, but the part that gets me is I kind of got myself cornered with that. If I want lightweight, efficient, smaller, I have to go to a mini, a Cub, or stick to scooters (I don't mind). The Chinese brands offer me some leeway there in offering many styles, but you know as well I'm hoping for the lottery there.

Realistically, the parts thing and poor manuals are killer. I still look for old CBs more than anything, but I'd take a PCX or similar if I was ready to pull the trigger. I really prefer the old motorcycle look and I don't wanna buy a Royal Enfield either, but I just might.

Them CFmotos might be up your alley. Actually been hearing some decent things about em too. I wouldn't drop serious money on a Chinese bike, but a cheap cf might be decent.


That 675 look decent

How much I wouldn't n't mind a smaller cheaper bike to beat up on if the production model looks this good

I just looked up the 675, it's only $8k MSRP. 91hp and 51lbs of torque


The 450 is $6k.

That said, it's Chinese. No telling the reliability

Never really heard of CF Moto but I just looked into them on Wikipedia. They used to partner with KTM? Might need to see what exactly they produced to see about their other offerings.

Not gonna like this little exchange had got me looking into Chinese bikes again. Trying to see if I can get a Lifan Sharp imported.

I see a 2005 Suzuki gsxr near me. Not sure if it's a 600 or 750. 32,000 Miles. Clean title. Runs and rides, just need new battery. Looks like it's been dropped, fairings and frame sliders is scraped.

It's $1500. Seems low enough to be a scam. I already looked to see if it's listed in other states and it's not.

I think that sold shortly because I don't see it anymore. Must've been good


I'm searching everyday damn near. Missed out on a couple good deals because I still don't have the cash.

You not realizing getting a motorcycle ain't cheap. Most decent sports bikes are $5k. Gear runs another $1000. That might seem cheap if you getting a lone, but I'm trying to pay cash for everything.

Trying to find a $2500 bike now. My gear gone run $1500.

You're talking to somebody who has done dirt and street forever. Miss me with it.


You acting like you bending a knee and marrying a bike ; meanwhile popping shyt like you know what's good.

Motorsports is a rich mans hobby; but a broke breh with heart can make it work.


You think I had $$$ when I started this shyt? you should see the shyt I started on. I tell my kids this shyt all the time. I spoiled them. These little MFers are starting on shyt with fuel injectors

Ima tell you one last time; just get some MF seat time already; stop quoting me breh. IRL I'm real disrespectful to brehs like you. I gave you sound advice already because I'm old and nicer person RN. In return; You acting like you 2 good for it tho.


My heart was ALL IN so I got out there.

I made lemonade from lemons.


IDC what byke I'm on I'm RYDING.

Like I said to another poster in here I started with a HAND ME DOWN helmet.


If you coming into this shyt with 1500 worth of gear you already spoiled 2......so good for you and good luck. I love seeing any breh get active in this tho. But; We done.
