I plan on going on a 120 Mile trip tomorrow on a Honda CB300F. It's not the biggest or fastest bike, but it's my first and I was wondering if the bike could possibly over heat or get damaged at all by me staying at about a solid 70 MPH. Everything is stock about the bike
I want fwy accessible as well good for road trips up through the mountains. Possible durable for a Sturgis trip. But back to the basics. I'm tiny and I yes need to plant my feet on the ground to keep a bike up. I was looking at the Honda CBR300r but that is not good for long distances. I need a long distance and feh accessible motorcycle where I can sit up and not hunch or lay on a bike. Any thoughts advice on style type motorcycle for a beginner? No Vespa scooters or sports type.
I'm kind of set on buying a motorcycle. The most practice iv had on one is on a pocket rocket when i was younger, so basically none. I'm planning on taking the Motorcycle Safety Course soon and will buy a bike soon after. I'm dead set on a sport styling. I was looking into maybe a used Honda CBR500 or maybe a newer Ninja 300. I don't really want a 250 because i know i will outgrow it quickly and i won't have the money or time to invest in selling it and buying another. I will take any suggestions. My friend started on GSXR 600 and is doing fine so maybe one of those? I will be responsible on any bike i get and only use as much power as i need. I will also wear a leather jacket with pads inside for protection along with hard knuckle gloves and helmet. Keep in mind that i'm 6 feet tall and weigh roughly 160 pounds.
They are asking $6,700 for it. Assuming that the pre-purchase inspection goes well obviously. I won't be selling the bike for any reason unless I'm forced to sell it. I would change the fairings, exhaust, get new tires and am willing to repair it if anything goes wrong that can be fixed. Any thoughts from you guys? All answers appreciated, but try to keep it serious. Thanks!
Added (1). Also, I went to check for a VIN number but they put the stock number instead… Worth checking it anyways?
I ride a 2012 Honda Shadow 750VT. One day I got stuck behind a long line of cars going up a steep hill with a red light at the top. It was stop-and-go and I couldn't get around the line… And then I managed to somehow over-rev or something and then I completely lost power. I got my bike to the top of the hill, but once I stopped it, every gear seemed just like neutral. It could no longer move under it's own power and I pushed it the rest of the way home.
I need to know what kind of awful damage I have done to my bike so I can find out how much money I need to save. I would be willing to either have it fixed or possibly fix it myself, I'm open to advice for either if you have it.
Found a great deal on the tires for my 2010 Honda SH150 the original tires are front 100/80-16 Rear 120/80-16 will replacing the front with a 110/80-16 while keeping the rear the same be a problem or should I try to find the original size?
I'm a learner in motor bicycle and just started from yesterday from my uncle's bike (Honda CD50). I have riding balance and poor in accelerator and gearing. My uncle said that if you can't handle his bicycle it will hard in new generation bikes. I'm planning to buy Pulsar 150 or 135 or Honda Unicorn or HH Hunk. What will be more suitable for me in this condition of my skill.
I'm more preferring style, safety and a bike above 125cc. Please advice me best bike for me and whether I can handle this capacity bike.
Looking for a motorcycle for my younger brother. I'm a seasoned rider and have a 600 sport bike and a 900 scrambler. My brother has expressed an interest in motorcycling, but really can't afford to buy one. I'm looking to get him a cheap starter bike for his 20th birthday in May. I want something he's really going to be able to learn on and not get too upset if he drops it. I also don't want something that he's gonna go "Hey ya'll, watch this!" around his friends. He's also not a very big person, about 5'7" 130lbs. Was looking at a Honda Rebel. What does everyone else think?
I have a (see title) and a major fault. The bike will bump start and when it is running the electrics work but are dim. It does not have any power at all, not even the horn works, when the engine isn't running. Sounds like a new battery is needed right? Wrong. I replaced and fully charged the battery and still nothing when the engine isn't running. The electric ignition does not work, no lights, no horn, nothing. Does anyone know what it could be? Example of the dim electrics after bumping it; if brake light or indicator is engaged, the head light's dim. That makes me think of the alternator, but surely it should start if the battery is just installed and is brand new with full charge? I can't figure it out?:/
Honda CB500F or NC750S? Which bike should I buy?
