gently caress all y'all, square headlights are great. This opinion is definitely in no way related to my new living arrangements:  Aw, they're in love. Also I checked the Kawi for stairs; it is protected:

Also you can tell me I have no taste but I think it would look amazing in chrome with black and yellow check up the tail. I think it's the rivet-looking screws on the fairing that made my brain make this connection.

How in the gently caress would I chrome-treat plastic at home? (even if I knew I probably wouldn't try, I've read up on some of the various processes and it sounds finicky as heck, really easy to mess up) Anyway yeah even for regular paint I'd be taking panels to a specialist a couple at a time.

I'm not much for naked bikes, but I guess my thing for BMW styling cancels it out because that is pretty sick. Got a less cramped angle today while wheeling it out to get the tyres up to pressure:  I wanna ride it so bad

It's so... clean  You know what's not clean?    On a scale from "spray some brake cleaner and elbow grease in there, it'll be fine" to "start saving up for new everything", how hosed is my wallet right now?

Jammed; they barely move back in at all. I guess if they are hosed, trying to clean them can't make them worse. I'm just being overcautious about spending even a fiver on a can of cleaner because I don't have any money.

Don't know if it's the depth of field or the very smooth uncluttered bodywork, but my eyes can only see that bike (in that picture) as Grom-sized

At least now I understand why the guy I took mine to makes a selling point of "I will actually fix your bike, not just blindly perform the minimum work listed in the shop manual" His shop is up in the hills, and the only staff are himself, his wife, and their two dogs.

It looks so much smaller without its clothes on.   Either that or the 125 is fat as gently caress. (psyche, it's both)

They don't cover the controls, so I have to go through padding to turn my blinker on or off, which works sometimes. And it drags a little bit on the front brake, but that might be mitigated by cutting a small hole and use the bar end weight screw to secure the mitt per instructions. Ugh blah.

The stock/oem panniers for the Ninja 300 are only 20 litres; would it gently caress it up to put bigger cases on it, if they even fit on the rack? Or would it just limit performance a bit more? Cause I'd love a 300 as my next bike but 20 litres is as good as nothing for luggage.

Sagebrush posted:Better to get a top case though. In the scenario where I'm wanting a large pair of panniers, I'd already have a topbox and it would already be full. Firmly strapping a mid sized suitcase to the pillion seat would honestly be step one for short trips (in addition to a topbox, which honestly I'll probably have permanently attached to every bike I'll ever own), sticking it in a bin bag or something to beat the weather, but for longer holidays or motocamping there's a lot of crap I can think of that I'd prefer to have in a locked hardcase rather than shoved in a cargo net.

That bike looks like a 90s rapper. Don't ask me to explain, something about the exact colours and the lustre on the gold bits screams "cheap bling tracksuit and trainers" Seriously, GIS "90s rapper" or "tracksuit rapper" and you'll see what I mean.

Is there a particular reason california is so anal about petrol vapours? The zzr600 manual indicates kawasaki made a separate version just for CA that had the fuel tank breather tube route into a box to collect the fumes. Does every bike sold there have to have that?

Just having somewhere to clip a GPS/phone mount would be great, but £144 just for the machined steel plate that goes on the yoke is kinda... (he said, but it's similar money for a riser set and they don't have the ancillary advantages of handlebars, so I may end up doing that mod at some point)
