So far I have been watching a lot of Super Squid, ChironMoto, and FastLaneD, but are there any other youtubers that are giving yall the best overall experience for POV and commentary to expand your knowledge on riding styles and rider tips?
I have no idea how people either find the parts to make these custom 675 fairings, or what the source for any of these parts are to make this bike look more custom with such a small market for aftermarket stuff. Does anyone else have a custom 675ss with crazy mods and tell me how much you enjoy your CFMoto if you have it before I pull the trigger on grabbing one?
Nothing too special just grabbed a couple of pics at the place people ride to on a Sunday afternoon, was a bit quiet today as there was racing on locally !
Does anyone have any arguments for and against buying a 125cc as a first bike? I’m only asking this because in some countries in Europe you cannot get licenses for higher power bikes until you get older, and I want to get into riding as soon as possible. My main point is seeing if it is worth waiting 2 years to start on a 400cc or if riding a 125cc at 18 is actually worth the money and investment.
I’ve been getting A TON of ads on instagram for custom fairings. They look reputable but it’s hard to tell. Is it more common to get a bike painted or purchase new fairings and install them? Is there a go to brand/company that does good work?
I’m looking at buying this 2024 ZX-6R ABS with 9,400 miles for $8,500. I’m attaching the seller’s description and all of the photos.
My biggest hesitation is the 2024 crankshaft bearing recall. I checked the VIN on Kawasaki’s website, and the recall status shows as Resolved. Does that give you confidence, or would you still avoid buying a 2024? Have any of you had issues after the recall was completed?
Aside from that, I’d really appreciate another set of eyes. Based on the photos and the seller’s description:
Does the bike look like it’s been well maintained?
Do you notice any signs of a crash, drop, or abuse that I might be missing?
Is $8,500 a fair price for a 2024 with 9,400 miles?
Would you buy it, or would you keep looking?
For context, I’m in NYC, so buying this means renting a truck, buying ramps and tie-downs, and driving over 6 hours each way. I want to make sure I’m making a smart purchase before committing.
2006 r6 clanking at low RPM and throttle
Please help me identify the issue
I just bought this 2006 r6 and I’m super excited to ride it!
But shortly after I bought it it started with a rattle/clancking, it mostly just happens at low throttle and low rpm it’s the most prominent on a slight uphill (like in that video)
In the second video the bike is in neutral and warm.
The issue seems to be less severe when the bike just starts up cold and it seems to be worse when I listen to it after the ride when it’s warm( but I’m not completely sure on that haha)
The sound also seems to be coming from the left side of the bike, but I’m also not sure on that. It seems to be hard to pinpoint it (because otherwise I would suspect a cam chain issue)
At speed and normal operating RPM the bike seems to run pretty well tho.
The issue also seems to be getting worse which time 
As a sidenote, the bike also desperately needs a valve adjustment, but at least for that I know what the issue is.
Thanks to everyone for your advice
2007 CBR600RR. This is adjacent to the left rearset mount. I'm like 80% sure it's a crack but I need some other opinions.
Edit: old owner snapped chain and it ripped a hole through crank case and swing arm. Was gonna be a project bike till I saw this. The mark isn't on the opposite side of the frame.
38m from peoria , been riding for about 6 months now, have a ninja 400, been looking to meet new people to cruz with, guy or female dont matter, I occasionally go to Cycle Gear bike nights, just looking to make some new friends, hmu 👍
I've got a ride planned that's a long way from home, and I'm debating whether it's worth putting all those highway miles on my sportbike just to get to the good roads. I was comparing a few transport options and ended up on Motorcycletransportcompany, but now I'm curious what other sportbike riders actually do. If you've been in this situation, did you ride the whole way or have the bike shipped? Any regrets with the choice you made?
