I always wonder what the story is behind these things. Someone blew up their DRZ, had too much free time on their hands, and thought, hey, I have this old lawnmower... Edit: A picture of your Harley Davidsoson would be nice syzygy86 fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Apr 6, 2022 |

I guess it'd be interesting in a Suzuki Pikes Peak Escudo kind of way, if it worked. Imagine if it had two separate throttles instead of a steering wheel, and you had to drive it like a tank.

This is the only way I can visualize it going around corners, perhaps with some kind of throttle differential system, and I like to think that's what "needs gear reduction" means.

The retro futurequote:50th Anniversary Goldwing Special Edition including Hannigan sidecar with removable hardtop and brake. Extended front fork. Am/FM cassette. CB and 5-point communication system. The photos say it best - this is a one of a kind ride in excellent condition. Has a second 2.5 gal. gas tank for long hauls. Everything in perfect working condition. Runs and rides like a dream. Small cosmetic damage on a dash panel-see photos, otherwise all good! https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/mcy/d/winchester-1999-honda-goldwing-sl1500/7468022565.html

It's like Hannigan purposely designs sidecars to be ugly, bad 80s design that just won't die. They made the molds for that fiberglass and by god they're gonna use 'em TBF the Venn diagram of old farts that put plastichrome and orange LEDs all over their goldwings and people who'd think those sidecars look cool is a single circle, so they're not missing the mark for their buyer base

That looks like a rad sidecar attached to the wrong bike. Needs to be hanging off of a k1.

The proper goldwing aesthetic for that sidecar would be converting it to a trailer to pull behind the wing

Looks like this ended up selling as I was pondering it yesterday and before I finished writing up this post today, but I figured I'd ask the general question anyway in case something like it comes up again: Help I'm battling an inline-4 itch currently, how bad an idea would an 8 year old ZX-6R with 40k miles on it be? $5,000 USD. It's only been up a couple days and I've been watching it, so unless there are issues with it I'm thinking it will be snatched soonish. Outside of regular maintenance replaceables, what kind of major stuff starts going on a supersport up around that mileage? https://offerup.com/item/detail/1384806757

# ? Apr 13, 2022 20:37 |

See if you can get it for less than 5K, but realistically there shouldnt be much wrong with it mechanically if its been well cared for. The usual stuff, high mileage consumables like brakes, tires, fork seals, final drive, head bearings, but none of that is unexpected. If you're asking if sportbike motors blow up when they hit 50K, they dont.

Other than googling model specific problems the main issue on a rr(+rr if honda) bike is Previous Owners and service intervals. In general a rr(rr) Japanese bike is sanely and robustly engineered. Any service history is good, complete service history is golden. Has it been used on track days? There is a natural limit of running out of road/ into cops with sustained riding like a dong on public roads. on a track a lovely owner can run a neglected bike hard. A counter point is that if you attend track days you might care a tinsy tiny bit about your bike and maintenance/performance more than a street donger. I've seen 15+ owner early 2000 Yamaha R1 bikes with less than 30k miles. The biggest Norwegian sell stuff site can pull that directly from the dmw here( you can also do that manually for free) Missed Oil change interval and valve check interval is really the only not visible wear things you can't see. You can see old plugs, you can feel clunky gear shifting, you can feel/see tires, chain, sprockets, brake items, wheel bearings, steering bearings. Learn how to inspect a bike and use that to lower the price. Any item is 200usd down. Because you take all your maintenance to a shop ofc. All my points here is about Japanese bikes. Their engines don't have exotic random maintenance items that if not done leads to random forced engine disassembly.

On the topic of older Japanese bikes: When do I need to start worrying about parts availability? I'm planning to go look at that '04 919 this weekend. Can I still expect to get parts like fuel pumps, engine sensors, steering head bearings, etc. OEM from a Honda dealer? How far back does a Big 4 parts catalog typically go? In my head 2004 wasn't that long ago but that bike is old enough to vote.

a decade +/- is all that most are obligated to support their product. Stuff like filters, fork service parts and such they'll probably stock. Especially if its shared with numerous bikes and an engine they produced over several years. Non stock items bet on week to a few weeks to get. NLA is NLA. Most of the ancillaries you're quoting is generic as hell and used all over the place. fuel pumps, generic. bosch, denso, walbro. engine management sensors, generic lego, used literally everywhere. again, bosch, denso, etc. steering head bearings, generic tapered roller. skf/nsk/national/etc. Worry about dumb poo poo like trim, radiators, coolant hoses, fuel pump strainers/filters and stuff like that. The 636: Run it hard through the lower gears and wind the engine out. no hickups? starts quickly and idles smooth cold and hot? buy.

Sweet, thanks for all the info! About 10k miles is the longest I've personally had a single bike so far. Sport bikes in general seem to rack up the miles at a lower rate from what I've noticed.

2018 RC390, 4400 miles, "Currently making payments on it so the price is a pretty firm amount." $6300 I've been browsing used listings for months at this point and KTM 390 owners are by far the worst offenders about listed price. I wonder how many of them actually sell.

People are bad as gently caress with money and get hosed on finance terms. They're 100% underwater on this shitbike. They're trying to roll the savings off to some sucker for [checks notes] $600 over a 2022 model.

cursedshitbox posted:hahahaha Yep and every month he doesn't sell it because the asking price is too high he's flushing the amount of his monthly payments down the toilet, while also likely not even riding the bike. And, since he has a loan on it most lenders require full coverage insurance. He's tied to an anchor and doesn't get that he has to sell it for less than what the dealership would sell a used 390. The dealership can entice people with financing, he cannot. Unless there's a premium on used 390's (not likely) he's hosed. These ads are really common in the motorcycle world.
