I saw this video on Instagram and the crash was completely caused by her own stupid mistake. Yet somehow a bunch of people on her profile are blaming the car instead of admitting what actually happened.
She then restricted the comments so only positive comments are allowed, basically shutting down anyone who points out her mistake.
This is exactly the kind of attitude that has no place on a motorcycle. If you can’t take responsibility for your own mistakes, learn from them, and accept criticism, you have no business riding.
People like this should never own a motorcycle.

You can ride perfectly and still get hit by someone staring at their phone. Watch your mirrors and always leave yourself an escape path. Stay safe out there.

I mean... If it works for you, Yamaha...

Just sharing a quick shot of my Honda RVF400 here in Korea. Nice to meet you

Got offered a 2009 GS500 as a trade on FBM for a $700 PC I was selling. Has 13k miles, clean title and matching VIN. I have some small engine experiance (I own a 1998 Seadoo SPX jetski, been working on that with a friend helping me), and have basic tools (a good socket set, and hand tools like pliers, vice grips, some box wrenches, plastic razors, etc). I could borrow a more powerful tool from a friend if I really need to, or buy it myself.

Some info he sent me: The previous owner more than likely has dropped it as a scratches on both sides, the carbs would have to be synced, and it would need a new rear tire, I plan on doing both, but I’m really either trying to get a PC or a different bike. The bars are good, I'm the one who put them on, and it does not steer uneven.

I asked about the carb sync and he said "you can hear it", and "Idles smooth and and there isn’t too much vibration besides the type you get from having a combustion engine between your legs, but nothing excessive". Based on a quick search it does not seem hard to do a carb sync, but it is possible the carbs need to be rebuilt/cleaned."

I attached one video of the bike running, will comment with some photos, and will update when he sends over the close ups of the "scratches on both sides".

I'm mainly wondering about value, can i rip it around for a bit, then sell in the spring/summer for $1000+? What would be the value on it? How much $$ do you think I'd have to put into it? Id have to bring it to a shop for the tire to be installed and balanced.

Thanks so much in advance.

The box I purchased is a 55L top case that I got on eBay. I’m able to fit my XL Shoei RF-1400 with a Sena 10c EVO attached, a 3XL Alpinestars Andes Air Drystar jacket, a 40 ounce Hydroflask water bottle, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and gloves fit in the pocket on the lid. I hope this helps anyone who finds this who is looking into getting a case for their bike.

my boss is selling me a 2005 Suzuki GXSR 1000 with 10,480 miles for 6k. He does maintenance even without riding. I feel like it’s a good deal but I’ve only ridden 300cc bikes would it be a dumb choice to make?

I watched alot of videos and learned you have to fully commit. I was really nervous since the Penske trucks are so tall.

Finally finished this scrambler build, AI used for colour enhancement, picture is original, taken in Bol, Brač, Croatia.

The exhaust note of the RVF400 is absolutely amazing 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

This bike has been a dream to ride street. The bike just does everything so well.

Just cross posting here in case y’all have any ideas.

I know they are very different bikes, but the price points are close enough for me to consider the comparison. I've had a KLX250 dual sport which I loved, my only complaint was a lack of power. I also owned a hoopty CBR600 which I wasn't a fan of, I hate the sport bike position and didn't like the weight or sharp headtube angle. I love the standard riding position, and only plan on riding a short suburban commute to work and riding to family's house 45 minutes away taking backroads only. I may want to add a rack for small packages, but that's it. No mods planned, I just want a cheap reliable bike that handles great and will be a little fun on country backroads. I know I love the dual sport/super moto's, but I have also been curious about the SV650 for years. Please share your opinion, especially from those that have had/ridden both.

Yup...It's me again, the delusional guy from the broken cbr650r. And back again with the game of "what am i not seeing?"

This time it's not a crashed bike, wow progress, but honestly makes it weirder to me this one.

On august 16th this year, this 2015 Yamaha MT-07, 55kW (full power, not the A2 restricted version) get's listed, 11,300 km, 2nd owner. Listing says "bom estado," recent service done, small aesthetic details, ready to ride. Photos look clean, no damage, no scratches, symmetrical, everything original except what looks like an aftermarket exhaust (SC Project style, not confirmed). Also noticed some water droplets on the front fairing in the pics, so it looks like it got washed right before the photoshoot.

Asking price started at 4,950€ and has been dropping 50€ at a time, now sitting at 4,700€, over what looks like at least a week or two based on my notification history (screenshot attached, the ones with an red arrow on them, though I don't think I caught every single drop).

Here's the part that's bugging me: for the year and this kind of mileage, MT-07s around here are usually going for around 5,000 or low 5,000. This one is priced below that range with a fraction of the km other listings have. On paper that's a good deal. In practice, a good deal doesn't usually sit there getting picked apart 50€ at a time by a seller who clearly isn't getting bites.

11,300 km on a 10 year old bike is also only about 1,100 km/year, which either means it's been babied or it's been sitting, and sitting comes with its own list of problems that don't show up in photos.

So, questions for people who actually know this bike or buy used ones regularly, or that just have more than two brain cells like unlike myself:

1. Aside from the obvious ones (listen to it run, check for accident damage), what should I generally be worried about on a low mileage bike that's mostly been sitting for years?
2. Anything MT-07 specific I should check? I keep seeing people mention stuff like the regulator/rectifier, clutch basket noise, or cam chain tensioner on these but I don't know how much of that is real vs internet folklore for this generation.
3. Has anyone dealt with a "keeps getting cheaper and still doesn't sell" listing before and actually found out what was wrong with it? Because it just doesn't seem like he really needs the money and just trying everything possible. Idk...

2005 Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 classic.

Hey guy, it’s my 4 days riding this thing. Been wanting to ask some simple questions like
What should I worried about?
How do I get my speedometer to work again?I know about the cord I tried plugging but doesn’t work
Any thing I can add to my bike to hold a bookbag or some bags for it yall recommend?
It’s gonna be a daily

Anyone who can help me wire this up gets bonus points in the next life, but also need to know if it should be installed before or after the oil cooler? also installing an inline oil filter and basically need to know best way to assemble it all.
