Crazy that is a new bike, if you didn't tell me I'd say it was from the 70s. Good on Honda for recreating the crazy chromed tail, shame most of them will get hacked off.

Thanks, guys.n8r posted:Crazy that is a new bike, if you didn't tell me I'd say it was from the 70s. Good on Honda for recreating the crazy chromed tail, shame most of them will get hacked off. There is already a cult-like following, especially in Japan. Some gorgeous upgrades and replacement parts. If I ever feel like replacing all body parts with billet aluminium, it's actually an option, ha

I would love a CB1100. My CB-1 is great though and I don't really need to upgrade. The only thing I care about now is getting fancy safety stuff like ABS and maybe traction control. Fuel injection would be nice too Holy poo poo motorcycles are fast tho. like what the gently caress how. After about six months of ownership I finally gave my honda full throttle and wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEE

 Crossposting from the Harley thread. Plasti dipped my new fairing, horn cover, mirrors, and air intake cover, and got some really nice bags. All clubbed out. Next on the shopping list is a new starter, and then to slowly go down the list of all the expensive upgrades (shocks, cams, etc). I adore this bike.

Lilbeefer posted:It goes into neutral but 90% of the time it doesnt say it is in neutral. It just flashes the word "gear" on the screen, but it is definitely in clutch-out neutral. As someone else with a 390 sitting in the garage, something is wrong with your bike. Its a sensor problem. Go back to the dealer and get that poo poo fixed. Wife put just under 1k on hers since we got it and it's been rock solid with no issues. No rattles, shifts great, neutral indicator loving works properly. Its a fun little bike. Sorry you got one with some issues. Also just taking off the mudflap cleans up the tail a lot. Digital_Jesus fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Nov 30, 2015 |

There's definitely a complete step-change in the looks of the bike between the front and back, anyway.

The only thing before I wrecked it was putting on a super charger. I love naked bikes and this is the baddest one of all.

Finally got my very first motorcycle back in September. Never had a chance to take pictures of it, I was too busy riding. Its a 1998 Honda Shadow Aero 1100. Only had 4k miles on it. Now it's got 6k. It's honestly a lot more fun than I was expecting it to be.

I screenshotted a craigslist ad a while back that was a Ewan McGregor special R1200GS for sale in Los Angeles. Aluminum boxes, rally lights, every single farkle imaginable. The poster gushed on and on about how it was "best bike i've ever owned" "can't bear to let it go" "i love this bike so much" 923 miles.

I put 100 miles on my bike on my 3-mile road before I ever even got my motorcycle endorsement. I put upwards of 300 miles on it a week, and more when the weather doesn't suck monkeys. It's funny how no one would ever do that with a (regular) car.

There's a lot of motorcycle owners who don't like to ride. Old dude lives across the street from me. He's got some kind of Custom Harley, which he's pulled out a couple times to clean in the last year, but I haven't once seen him ride it.

Christ. I only ride once a week during the season usually, but like 300-500 miles each time. More out of necessity tbh, all the good roads are 2+ hours away.

Vast majority of riders in the US take the bikes out for their yearly ride and every 4 months for a wash and polish. It makes sense that insurance companies call bikes recreational vehicles.

Yeah remember that there are a shitload of people here who buy Harley's and sport bikes (and to a lesser extent bmw's, ducatis etc) not because that's what they really want, but because that's what's cool to own.
