That is a royal enfield, they start to deliver functional torque at about 1500rpm but you can absolutely lug them lower as that guy is doing, probably not the best idea in the long run but eh, it's RE you're on a clock whatever you do. Long stroke + low compression = a really lovely steam engine.

"Just a reminder on how quick things can go south." there are a lot of words i could use to describe that crash, but "quick" is not among them e: lmfao the end card saying it's WET SALTY ROADS. of course it is, buddy. you didn't lose traction once the entire time, just rode directly off the road into the dirt, but sure, blame the road conditions Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Feb 10, 2022 |

It started out with him just going wide because he's never leaned more than 20 degrees in his life, and then when he started to go off the road, he fixated and just rode into the dirt where a teeny extra push on the left would have brought him back in line. Fixation starts at 0:29, right at the moment he starts saying "fukfukfukfukfuk"

Did he actually end up reaching his front brake? I can see his hand fluttering about i think and then the rear steps out on the dusty part.

He foolishly touched the layer dan lever and that's why he crashed.

Dog Case posted:https://www.instagram.com/reel/CZEMFv5lMns/?utm_medium=copy_link It might be either extreme lugging of the 1 cyl gasoline engine, but it could also be the 350cc diesel version that was sold for a while in india only. Or someone who spooned their own diesel into it...

Jim Silly-Balls posted:These comments are much better if you read them in a Hulk Hogan voice There's a subreddit called HOGforNoobs where everyone posts like that, but in a satirical way. Like, NO WAY BRO YOU CAN'T RIDE WHEN IT'S BELOW 70 OUT YOU'LL VOID THE WARRANTY. It's hilarious, and a great contrast to the actual Harley subreddit where people also post in basically the same way, but earnestly.

It looks like he was trying to check out something on the front of the bike, though I have no idea what.

He saw the MP3 pulling up next to him and wanted to check if his scooter had two front wheels too.

I think that actually is an MP3? Or a copy thereof? I know there are some copies made. I think he thought he had the tilt lock engaged, which would let you do that

 Took this beautiful freak for a ride to avoid its fuel going stale. I don't ride it much in winter for various reasons, but so far it seems to be perfectly happy if i ride it once a month.

The early to mid 90's were such a good time for bikes. Before the faired-sportbike era started motorcycles were mostly for nerdy commuters and Harley guys. Suddenly bikes like this came out that looked as exotic as a Ferrari and had cool engi-marketing terms like DELTABOX. It's a shame these didn't survive their 2nd, 3rd, and fourth owners because I would love to own a nice old FZR. Second gear still work on this one?

Second gear still work on this one? 2nd gear still works fine, though the first to 2nd shift is definitely louder than any of the others. 3rd to 2nd is buttery smooth though  FZRs are still quite easily to get here. Get one while you can! I gotta say that i'd have preferred the 400cc variant. This thing is just too bloody fast to fully enjoy in my country. But i'm super happy to have experienced the raw gay horsepower of a a proper 4 cyl carb'd sportbike from the 90s. The howl from the exhaust and the gear whine just hit all the right spots. On the one hand, i'd like a 400cc inline 4 sportbike. On the other hand, i already have this one and it's highly likely that this one would just be scrapped if i get rid of it, and that just feels bad. So i'm probably gonna keep it and make it pretty again. The big parts are in good shape, but there are lots of tiny problems with it.

FZRs own. I had a 400 for almost 5 years. My husband liked it so much he went out and bought one. His still had the fzr4 engine. Mine, less so. Unfortunately his started mixing coolant and oil right out of the gate so he had a bike shaped project for like two years till I intervened, put it back together and got it running for the next owner to put back on the track. Ugh.  Mine was just a downright mutant. Two engines, numerous wiring fixes and a subsequent complete rewire when the rectifier shat and sent 50+VAC through the 12VDC system blowing everything out. few suspension overhauls, dropped in emulators, fox twin clicker with resi out back. two sets of bodywork. custom built carbs on a yzf600 engine. All that poo poo barely fit. It was such a motherfucker to work on. Then came a gsxr750 front end sprung and valved to the fzr on Ducati snowflake rotors. we machined parts to retain the original fzr wheel. Fucker as push-start-only for like 3 years. Couldn't ride it in vegas if the ambient temps were over 90F so I got tired of not riding and sold it for a YZ450F. Neither engine had 2nd gear issues. The fzr600 engine it came with had been run hard and put away wet (for a decade). By year two or so it was burning nearly as much oil as gas. With all the various changes over the years it weighed 350 wet, made 600 power, and handled like a 250. 18" tires from not-china were getting hard to find, I had a line in the sand then that I dgaf about now, it ate aluminum sprockets like candy because thats all that were available, it had to be push started everywhere, it would run hot in the dry desert heat. But it was an epic bike for the time. Dumb as gently caress and put a gsxr race tail on early for whatever reason I don't remember. I converted it back some time later.  Pretty much how it was configured when it was sold.  Spouse taking my shitbox out for a spin after the gsxr frontend.

Oof, you guys are making me miss my blue funk. If it had never been stolen out of my driveway 14 years ago, I'd definitely still be riding it. I also probably wouldn't be getting buttfucked by insurance companies like I did for the past two years with the GSXR-600. That whole generation of bikes was incredible. You can't say no to those big pretty headlights.

So it's been nearly fifty years and they still can't make something better than the one on the left. Just make that with modern technology, not everything needs to be an ipad-with-wheels pile of bullshit. E-bike manufacturers are clearly ahead of the game cause there's lots of people making the one on the right already.
