>>12157 >nigger tier mods on a mountain bike
>>12160 that was the wrong image
For some reason I've been watching bike pov videos. I have to ask, why do so many of them get angry about every single thing they see on the road. They get more pissy about rules broken than the cops do and take it upon themselves to make sure that person knows they made a mistake. Even if they were in the right it comes off like they're just assholes. "I'm filming you!" or some other shit.

>>12160 >a BMX = MTB
>>12167 Sorry, I'm not normally that much of a faggot. It was late and I saw the off-road tires and though "mountain bike". The rest of my point still stands, albeit weaker.
>>12172 That being said, pic related is a bike too.
What's a cheap moto? Talking like the kind that are really real cheap and I can easily mess with fixing. I know ninjas are plentiful but I'm not really looking for a sportbike. It can be a small bike, too. I'm not planning on going 70 on the parkway right out of my 15 hour msf classes.
>>12412 I don't know where you live, but in the US, anything under 700cc is acceptable. My first bike was a 1979 Yamaha XS650 that was a HUUUGE piece of shit. I learned a lot from that bike. Like how to set valves, clean engine sludge, troubleshoot wiring harnesses, troubleshoot charging systems, fix ancient disintegrating fuse blocks, steering head bearings…. the list goes on forever. Pre1980's bikes are usually points-based ignition and simple carburetors. late 80's-90's bikes typically are hard to find parts for anymore. Stick to something with a cult following and you'll be fine. Such as the CX500/xs650/cb750. If you're looking for something smaller for whatever reason, get a honda rebel 250 and modify it to be less dike-bike, or find a wrecked ninja 250 at auction for pennies and throw $20 on it.
>>12431 >late 80's-90's bikes typically are hard to find parts for anymore. Why?

>>12431 >Pre-1980s bikes are usually points-based ignition and simple carburetors. No-wheels fag here, I've got a long time rider and mechanic friend hyping me up to buy a| bike and go traveling and Korean/Chinese bikes that use that system are my first -and probably only- choice; besides the Suzuki DR650. He tells me how in his travels to bike events he has seen many a great ride stranded while cheap air-cooled knockoffs are easily repairable almost anywhere. It's the only choice because this is a socialist shithole where finding parts is an exercise in frustration and having your ride be too good or too shabby can get you killed for it.
>>12513 This, bump, i love that Dr 650 i miss My xtz250

I've had the bike in the first pic for a couple years now. I know it looks rough, was never really meant to look "neat" like the bike I parked next to in the other pictures. >Sears 2 stroke 4hp >1 gear top speed of about 40 >works on and off road >loose legal restrictions because pedals=bicycle >fixable with bicycle and lawnmower parts >if engine blows no problem compatible small engines just laying around ,scrapyards ect. I should mention I've never had to replace the engine yet, but I have extras, also I didn't build this. A mad mechanic built it. I did need someone to weld me a new back rim semi recently
Why is it so hard to find a used bike? Like let's start I want 20010 DRZ 400 SM I can't find any of them anywhere! do dealers throw them away so you are forced to buy new bikes? How much milage can you get on a bike, like cars can go 100k before problems will star occouring etc. It's just well known marker for cars. But bike I only see have a few thousand miles at most or less. Why do they never sell dualsport bikes with abs? like I want this bike, the Honda XRE 300. but they do not sell it in the USA.
>>14544 >Honda XRE 300 Trust me, you don't want one of those. Their engine breaks down a lot around here.
>>14560 Well what are some good dual sports?
>>14574 XT 250 on all fields.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0hMs0E5kDw What do you think of this anons? Because I think it looks pretty fucking cool.
>>14633 It's ugly as fuck, but it looks to be very comfy to ride. I'd probably choose the scooter version over that one because racing bikes are gay.

>>14676 >150cc You'll tear up the Mario Kart track anon I don't speak whatever language is on that page but at least you aren't on a scooter
>>14678 It is in whatever language Argentinians speak. I concluded that from the link. Could not find an english version of it though.
>>14691 I figured it was either Portuguese or Spanish, but whenever I think something's in Portuguese, it turns out to be Spanish, and vice versa
>>14693 protip: if it's portuguese you're gonna see a lot of ção's, whereas in spanish it's ción.
>>14713 And if it is jewish will i see lots of zión?
