Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

If they were 100% original restored, that's not the craziest price I've seen. It'd still be on the high side, but in the right market right about ballpark. Those aren't restored to original though. $2500 each would be what I'd price them at, as insane as it is..

When I bought my 3 ('64 CT200, '67 CT90, and '68 CT90) I paid $600 for all three total. Granted those I had to pull out of the mud without titles and non-running, but still, wild how much they've increased in perceived value.

 

Got lost because the damn signs are confusing

 

165+ miles of whoops, rocks and roads.

@uurx @spencermarkd I want this

What a weird little bike.. like a smaller rokon, but also not hah I wonder what the top speed is, I didn't see it mentioned on there

 

damn david, i almost want to say ive never seen that one before.... i love it super cool great post thanks for sharing this one

 

That would be sweet!

 

you know

you could always put nobbies on your 12" grom wheels

just in case, if you didnt know...

 

Been there done that. It’s way better with grippy street tires.

 

im busting your chops... i know i know...

but really though... you have the sv for the grip

 

I need knobbies on the big bike. But also going to ride them out to mid summer. I think i did 50+ miles today. At 1345 now

 

i vote tkc80

you have wanted to try this tire out on previous bikes I know, but you never got a chance.... now is your chance, it is a proper tire for your intended use

 

Im still on the fence between Kenda Big Block and Shinko 804/805 and Motoz Tractionator

 

the motoz are overpriced and kenda and shinko while ive never had a problem on all my bikes using those....

for your bike, I would rather trust the continental QC, leave the budget minded shinko and kenda for more dirt use, less pavement use...

idk just a thought out loud, maybe i am not seeing the same prices as you idk

 

Went to the Honda dealership this weekend. Sat on a monkey. Inventory was super scarce and staff wasn’t helpful in the least. But I think that’s what imma do for my next scooter. Got to dig into the Yamaha and finally finish it to either sell it or something. No sense in adding another bike to the garage when I have a perfectly good shitbox just sitting there.

 

Thinking $250 range. But the MotoZ blows that out of the water for f&r.

Ive just heard 5k miles on these big blocks if im trying for 50/50, but most likely doing 70 on/30 off. I look for gravel. Theres so much to explore about an hour - two hours away from me.

Wish i had someone to go with, that has an equivalent bike/ambition to do trails and camp @4x4Runner @Doc Samson, and @LocoLocal needs to stop delaying and get a KLR or something for offroad. Or put knobbies on his Sportster

 

My AT friend lives about 2.5 hours away. I want to ride with him, but he probably has way more skills than i do.

Id also be interested in taking a class. Not really interested in slow stuff (even though it would probably help). I want to do fun stuff like wheelie over logs, water crossings, and spin uturns haha.

I just need a field and a log and im probably good for a day or two.

 

can you do circles and figure 8s while fully locked handlebar? and standing up?

 

Those still get me.. I dropped my bike three times in a row on a lock-to-lock slalom course the last time I tried practicing it.

 

No way
