I'm torn between the honda CBR500R and the Cbr500x. I want something with a slight sportiness too it but I also would like something comfy as I'm 6ft 4 and don't want to be too cramped on long rides. Obviously, the X is the comfort and the R is the sport but am I loosing any performance with the X or loosing any comfort with the R if that makes sense?
I'm 18 and just bought a Honda grom. Rode it for 3 days and I'm enjoying it. Took my msf course and everything. But after riding a friends gsxr 600 i want a supersport myself. Bikes came really natural to me and i still respect them (not the grom) I love adrenaline and the grom already bores me after 3 days and 64 miles. Is this even normal for a first time rider?
I recently brought a tmec enduro 125, (Chinese copy of a Honda xr125) and it is drastically underpowered for its engine size, I previously had a 1984 Honda mtx 50 which was faster than it, I've seen videos of the same bike doing in ods of 70 odd and I can't understand why mine is so slow, it has a top speed of around 46-48 mph, which is amusing seeing my old 50cc moped used to do 45, it revs out okay I just can't understsnd it, any help? (And no not the "buy another bike" "push it down a hill" sorta answers please!)
I currently have a 2018 Honda CB500F. I have nerve damage in my right hand (not motorcycle related) I could grab on okay, but no fine 'motor' skills. I have been thinking about getting a Honda NC700X with ABS and DCT. If I do not have to shift, then I hope I could move the throttle and brake to the left side. Have you heard of anyone doing this? I'm sure someone with my issue or just a left handed dude has done this before. How do I do this? How much does this cost? How do DCT's compare? Are these parts available?
Hey guys I have 2 pit bikes I have a Honda crf50 and a Chinese's 125 I was wondering if it's legal to ride in a bike lane in California?
Or can you ride it with a regular driver's license?
I have a 2018 Honda CB500F bike and it has a manual transmission. I love my riding and have got the manual transmission and two brakes down. However, I was shot twice by a home intruder earlier this year. One of the bullets hit my neck/shoulder on my right side. Therefore, I'm unable to preform delicate tasks like accelerating and front braking due to nerve damage. I would only be able to hold on with this hand. Could I mod the bike or should I get a bike already equipped with an automatic transmission such as the Honda NC700X? I would need the acceleration and brake moved to my left side. Are these mods feasible? I would not want to spend more than a couple thousand. What's it like riding an automatic? Should I get a bike equipped/moded with a combined braking system for added safety?/ability to use with foot.
Okay so my favorite was the yz but the bottom ends on the f's seem to be going on a lot of em around. I even rebuilt a 426f from bottom up recently. Seems the cranks are breaking farily easy and there's been a lot of grenading the engines happening with yz. I had the yz250 and a yz100 both were great bikes. 2 stroke. The ttr125L was a fun bike I recently got rid of a ttr230… No kick lever? Cmon! I'm all set with buying battery after battery. So I got a honda xl500r… That bike fun! Developed a tick tho it was old and then the muffler baffle started rattling. It broke. Only way to fix was to cut the muffler on that old bike and reweld. Gasket leak and then the kick lever spring broke. I loved that bike started first kick every time like my old 90 suzuki dr650. (One of the most reliable bikes I've had yet and still have) i have had the drz125 nothing but problems for me… The ktm 350 is a bike I recently got. An 86 kicker on left side. I'm loving this bike! 2 stroke enduro. I had the ts250 too and that was also a fun bike. I've had more but tell me what would you say your favorite brand has been and 2 stroke or 4 and why?
I can tell you right now almost every 4wheeler and dirt bike does not have a title on Craigslist in arkansas. I guess I got screwed and broke the law when i bought a 2007 Honda 400ex without a title but I got rid of the thing because I figured out it might be illegal to have a 4wheeler or motorcycle without a title because you can't register it and pay taxes on it which is bs. So what's the consequence if you get caught with a atv or dirt bike without a title? Do police say your the one that stole it?
I just got two new Dunlops, they feel Weird. I've bought old, used and new tires in the past, for my Honda and my Harley, a new Kenda and an old, used Shinko. They felt Fine from day one. Are Dunlops Like this, nowadays, or are they defective?
Added (1). I found 32 PSI front, 40, back. Technically, this is for 2-up. I reduced them to 30/36, as book says. The slippery feel of the front is still there. But, only 29 miles on them.
