I learned with a CBR 600 f4i. My friend let me ride his in empty parking lots practicing around cones we brought. Right now I'm looking towards a Ninja 500r or maybe just a Ninja 250r. I want to stay with small bikes because the insurance quotes for a guy my age and experience I got were crazy when I was quoted at a 600cc or above.
 
This is my daily ride which i use to commute to college.

100cc, 4 stroke, gets 50KM/L


A front view with a look at the grippier tyres i fit.

Those bulbs are el-cheapo white lights that look cool when not turned on with blueish tint


Aftermarket rims so i can use those tubeless grippier tyres.
Too bad my bike only has drum F/R brakes tho..would have liked some discs..


A look at the err..open pod filter that i installed..LOL..gives a good sound but no noticible increase in performance.


Toe-tronic transmission:dopey:


4 speed toe-tronic gear indicator..LOl..

Please try to use thumbs when you have so many pics. Scrolling to the right for 5 screens sucks.:ouch:
Yeah, I don't wanna look at every bike pic you've ever taken. I've got dozens of pics of my bike too, but you don't see me posting every one of'em.
 
Nice bikes you people have. I also ride a moped, something like TsLeng's. Cannot afford a sportbike yet, too expensive here... - if you buy sportbike, you cannot buy car, if you already buy a car you cannot buy a bike. You have to buy a car, it always rain. So I bought a car, a moped [to commute] and a cheap pocketbike[to rub my knees on tarmac on Sundays]. My dream bike at the moment is Kawasaki ZX6RR or a fierce looking naked street bike. One day I will own one, still working on it. Some friends of mine own sportbike, did ride on them... really appreciate those although not riding fast.

100cc's and only 50km/h!!!!!!:ouch:
Mines a 50cc and goes 120km/h..
Youre sure the limiter is out the exhaust? You can see it if you take of the exhaust and look into the front of the exhaust that goes into the cylinder and if theres a little circle (or something) you have to take it out so all of the gass go into it real quickly so you can go harder..
 
Suzuki RG400G Walter Wolf. Not riding it yet, needs a bit of TLC.

Goes well for a twenty-odd year old smoker. I'll get some pics of it up soon.

He means he gets 50 km out of every litre of petrol. km/l

RG400? We never got those. How many cylinders? I started on an RG250 Gamma also in Walter Wolf colours that did me well as a student for about 3 years. Commuted, scratched, crossed France, did trackdays, the works with that little bike... Happy days!

One of the rules at my University bike club:

"Never ride behind a 2 stroke: the fumes give you cancer, and the rider is often about to crash!"

:lol:

RG400? We never got those.

Quite right. We never got those. Only 99 were ever produced, all sold in Japan, apparently only four of them ever found their way to the UK. Not sure how many are left or if any more have made their way over here lately.

It's a V-four, most of which were 500cc. The engine was developed in the '70's for Suzuki's GP bikes. It looks exactly the same as the 500 apart from the 397cc stamp on the side of the cylinder block.

It's supposed to be dark blue with the gold and red trim but it's had a very nasty paint job and is currently met purple and ferrari red. This will be changed back as soon as possible. :yuk:

Still hunting around for any info I can get at the moment as I only got it a couple of weeks ago for my birthday. Twenty year old bike with a limited production run so info seems to be very scarce, any help here would be genuinly appreciated. 👍

:lol:

We had a rule at school/college that stated "all two stroke bikes were to ride at the rear of the group. If any of the two stroke bikes made thier way to the front they were forced to stand behind thier own bikes while they were revved (flat out) until they could be identified as two stroke riders from a hundred yards because they smelt so bad. :)
 
now i'm driving my 147


but my bike is that Beta enduro 50rr




i hope to change it with a superbike (cbr600/ninja 6r/748) as soon is possible
 
Cheers! Heres a couple of it in action. And one showing the joys of riding in the rain (white wheels on bike), something TT missed, maybe next time??

Would any veteran riders care to give me some tips on the process of buying and learning to ride a motorcycle?

Since this is a forum for a videogame, I figured a question like that wouldn't have been in the proper place, so I posted it there...but I know I'll get more responses if I post a link to it in this thread. ;)
 
1984 Honda CBX750FE that has been heavily modified, starting with Yam Thunderace suspension, wheels and brakes. Now awaiting a paintjob and some polishing. Desperately!! Used to have a Ducati 900ss too, but she had to go *sniff*


dammit, need to shrink the file to upload it... hang on...

No licence I'm afraid, and currently don't even have the money to have a car.

But I used to own a '78 Honda CB750 custom chopper complete with 17" Apes. And restored and owned a '62 Jawa CZ (250cc 2-stroke standing single)

If I had the money I'd be on a bike again yesterday. Most likley a classic or a retro bike.
 
Here's my beauty:

Derbi Senda DRD SM -03

Just a moped.

But soon i will go for a "real" motard. A Ktm Exc 525 motard is the dream for me. :sly:
 
Here's my '03 ZX12R......... previously had a black CBR1100xx and a rake of VFR's
