Are you allowed to take pictures while driving in the states? Here in Ontario distracted driving charges are pretty serious.

They're pretty gnarly here in BC too, and it seems to be working. Immediate $368 fine, plus a $175 fine when you go to renew your insurance and then you find out your insurance rates have been hiked by 20%.

Using a handheld cell phone while driving is illegal in california, but it's rarely enforced and the fine is relatively small.

Regular Car Reviews did a video a while back about the Yamaha R6 and spends about half the review talking about torque curves, riding above your skill level, and not being able to trust yourself to stay out of trouble. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BglzNAML78M

Chipping in for the SV650 crowd, though mine is carb'd. Pretty sure I've installed the fourth front end it's had on it, it's literally caught on fire, and I've had to replace some shifter bits. I still love it

I like the first blue one you posted. Looks well sorted, nice lithium battery, forks have been redone, new michelins. Its carbed, but has been jetted. Seems like a good deal. I think that bmw F bike was made by loncin in china. Or maybe it was rotax. Either way its not a good idea. Look for an R or a later F.

Dick, just buy a fullface helmet for gently caress's sake - I swear if you undergo all this extensive dental torture and post a pic of you in a 1/2 or 3/4 on your new 600 I will find you and wreck you. I also highly recommend expensive as-gently caress boots and general armor.

I've ridden four bikes (including my dad's old rear end shadow 750) in my life. A sv650, a r6, and a hell tuned s1000rr. Don't get an r6. That loving thing made me fear for my life a liter bike will never get across. You know a s1000rr wants to kill you. You know it's going to. You never get lulled into complacency with it on a short ride. An r6, or any other 600cc "proper" sport bike will pretend to be manageable for a new rider. Until you crack the throttle and your last meal rockets out your rear end in a top hat before it's been digested. The tach climbs *instantly* from "this is really fast but ok" to gently caress-your-mother levels of power. Just get a sv 650, a cbr500r, or a ninja 500. Save yourself, so that we may live through you

SeaGoatSupreme posted:I've ridden four bikes (including my dad's old rear end shadow 750) in my life. A sv650, a r6, and a hell tuned s1000rr. Yyyyyyyup. I had a 2000 R6 - above 9k RPM it made the Universe move around me. And 15k5 RPM came about a second later, <clutchin flick toe out> a second later, <clutchin flick toe out> a second later... My favourite R6 story: August, random Friday, 1:30AM, I couldn't sleep - it was hot and I didn't have A/C. I went for a ride and ended up on my favourite back road. It was one of those rides where the road and the bike and the air and the world just became part of me; I was Valentino loving Rossi, I was dragging my knees in the corners, really moving. Just the right temperature out, asphalt was still radiating heat from the day but the air was cooling off. I'm halfway through a fast left-hand sweeper, really leaning into it, just getting back on the throttle, and I see headlights - really specific headlights. Crown Vic headlights. They flash by, I see the red / yellow / blue RCMP stripes and I recognize the driver. gently caress. It's Kevin. I know Kevin. Kevin knows me. If I recognized Kevin, Kevin probably recognized me. gently caress. I see the blue and reds in my mirrors (through the trees / off the hills, not directly), come off the throttle, pull off to the side. Kickstand down, helmet off. Pop the seat, grab my paperwork. No lights yet. I light a cigarette and smoke the fucker halfway through before I see headlights. He's surprised that I'm stopped. He engages ABS slowing down to stop behind me. I keep my hands visible in front of me. Kevin jumps out of the cruiser. "Matt! You dumb poo poo. Get in the car." He gestures to the passenger seat of the cruiser and I get in. I am adrenaline and butterflies and fear. Kevin wants to talk about bikes. He digs the R6 and wants to know how my girlfriend finds the pillion seat (she doesn't - it's uncomfortable and awful to spend time on) and is curious about how the FZ6R compares (it's much better) and generally we shoot the poo poo and laugh for about 10 minutes. And then he asks if I know how fast I was going. "No, I really don't," I answer honestly. "I was paying attention to the road and the bike." He points to 3x 7-segment red LED display on his dash. It's like the eye of loving Sauron in the dark. I will never, ever forget the numbers on it. One. Seven. Six. 176 kilometers per hour. I think my heart stopped. "Do you know what the speed limit is on this road, Matt?" Is this a good time to crack wise? I decide that I don't care. "I'm hoping it's around a hundred and fifty..." He laughs. It isn't. It's 50 kilometers per hour, and I'm kind of shocked to learn this. "Fifty? Really?" It's an industrial park. Except for that one loving corner, there's visibility for days, tonnes of run-off, no trees for kilometers around. It should be, like, at least 80 here. But it isn't. Kevin hits the reset button on the unit. "I'm going to write you a ticket for 70 in a 50 zone, and if you contest it I'm going to show up in court." I nod and thank him. "And never, ever do this again. This is the road the drunks use to leave town after the bars close. They think we don't patrol it, but we do. This is a really good place to get killed on a motorcycle at 1:30AM." I thank him again. I take the ticket and put it in my inside pocket. "So hey, one more question for you," he says. I say sure and ask him what he'd like to know. "Why'd you stop? You could have been home before I finished turning around." I still don't know. What a loving night that was.

I have a lady friend back in Chicago that rides a 749 exactly like that. When she pulls up somewhere (gas station, restaurant) in front of a bunch of guys, she likes to put the bike on the stand, take off her helmet and whip her long blond hair around to free it up. She’s married to another friend of mine, but I’d still like to see this happen in person.

If Cindy Crawford in cutoffs driving a red Diablo wasn’t able to convince 14-year-old me that Pepsi was better than Coke, I doubt your lady friend is going to convince me that the 749 / 999 isn’t the absolute nadir of Ducati’s design language*. But very much like Ms Crawford and her Pepsi, I’m sure that I’d be willing to entertain the argument. * yes, including the first-gen Multistrada

Mine's been in my parents garage for a while now, buying a nicer car led me to ride less and less. The best part about an R6 is that it has a better center of gravity than an R1, and just feels more balanced. Stupid thing definitely needed a steering damper though, the headshake on the highway suuuuucks.
