Protip: if you worry about riding a sportbike because you'll crash/lose your license, you probably won't do either of those things. The fact that you're thinking about it at all shows you have enough self discipline and common sense to avoid being a dumbass. Since getting into bikes I've gotten more tickets in my string of terrible underpowered shitboxes than I have on all my bikes put together.

I don't have a sport bike, but people who don't really know bikes kind of assume it is one. Which is hilarious because they all assume I'm gonna wheelie or try to race them or whatever. I really want to upgrade. I figure next year it'll be time. I'll have 24k+ miles on this bike, and it can be sold to some nice person who just got an M on their license.

I worked in a bike shop that had a store of old 80s and 90s Iron Horse magazines. each issue has a picture labeled JAP IS CRAP  with a picture of a Japanese bike that was in pieces all over the road, really obviously the product of a crash.The following section was always 12-16 pages of How To Fix Poorly Designed Tractor Engines which always made me laugh.

Aside from calling it a donorcycle the ER nurses would tell me how I was going to "kill myself on that thing" while they smoked. I always heard Japanese bikes referred to as rice rockets.

I don't think I'd be able to contain a reflexive "gently caress you!" if someone actually used that phrase in my presence. Well that one is just openly racist instead of just being lovely xenophobia and misplaced nationalism. You know, it is "rude".

Hey, if Japanese bikes a "slant bikes", then American bikes are "fat gently caress bikes". I guess that makes me a true American.

Yesterday I had to pick something up from a workshop we have occasional dealings with. The owner had a mid-00's 636. He proceeded to tell me how it has errythaaang done to it and it's even faster than a ZX10. Looked like it had a can and a PC. Bonus points: had completely clapped out Diablo Stradas, a tyre they don't even make anymore AFAIK. edited for clarity Slavvy fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Feb 6, 2015 |

To be fair, the mid 2000's 636s made more power stock than the 07-12 ZX6R and are just a few hp down from the 2013.

BMW's require ~special~ tools and ~special~ machines to remove the wheels and tires in order to not damage the rim. They have a ~special~ design so standard tire machines or tire irons will mar the rims (even when using rim guards). They also require a ~special~ oil and filter. K&N filters don't work properly with BMW engines. It's true because I watched a Youtube video. I understand wanting to baby your new bike, but paint will get chipped and rims will get dinged, especially if you're using that "adventure" bike for its marketed purpose.

Nothing that special about BMW wheels and oil filters in my experience, except that some of them are in places you can't get to for no reason and some of the drain bolts are 3 times as big as they need to be so you need a totally unique crush washer. If you want to do more serious work on them, that's where it gets retarded. I should find a pic of the procedure for refilling the cooling system in a K1200R.
