https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbVLF1HOuBg Did these really fall so far off on sales that they had to be discontinued? I miss mine There are like 3 or 4 250s left in North America. Not enough people live in sprawling, crowded cities

I had a 2002 CB250. Great bike. I never sold it; it was stolen at 18,1xx miles.

If Honda's truly discontinuing the CBR600RR... ...The comments on that Indonesian market introduction video say that the bike is 250ccs for Indonesia, but 350ccs for other markets. Unfortunately, I think it's a twin, like the R3 (which is built, or at least assembled, in Indonesia). But then, wouldn't that 350ccs eat into sales of the 500R?? Motorcycle business

Depends on the gear ratios. I heard that the 4-speed Suzuki Savage actually had a longer gear spread than the newer 5-speeds. Honda's 4-speed Shadow 600 has the same fourth-gear overdrive that it would have as a 5-speed (something like 0.91... typical overdrive) With lots of torque, some of them figure that the rider doesn't need one or two intermediary gears.

How does scootching off of the seat help the bike turn more at smaller lean angles again? I always thought that it was the curved tire profile that allowed bikes to turn, but if the bike isn't leaned over as much and is turning more, that can't be true.

How do those spoked wheels work to hold in the air? Those tires don't look like tube tires, and the spokes aren't offset. Did someone come out with some kind of neo air tight spoke wheel while I wasn't looking? Edit: Nevermind, they are offset spokes. Didn't look hard enough.

Collateral Damage posted:I think it's mostly because of lawsuits. If you can blame someone else you can sue them so businesses take extreme measures to protect themselves from lawsuits, which shows itself as treating everyone like a baby. Other countries have lawsuits too, don't they? ...Or do they make it more prohibitively difficult to file something than the US does?

I'd read that the Nighthawk S has hydraulic valve lifters, making regular valve adjustments a non-issue. But do you have to split the cases to replace the starter?

Is shifting like that faster? Like, when I was on my bicycle with the similar hand shift, you can go from 3 -> 7 instantly. With the pawl you have to go 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5. I know the action is different—on the bicycle you're pulling this alignment gear to the side, drawing the chain outward—but could you do the same thing to a shift drum?

The bikes may be perfectly fine (if not heavy pigs), but the dedication to fashion and the appeal-to-person advertisement for so long really sours me on them. The "get a real bike" HD fans also leave such a stain on that same image, even though they're probably the minority of HD owners. I'm not even sure British-only-bike-fans-in-Britain are that bad.

Any bastard capitalists reading this? Start some kind of amusement business solely partnered with electric recharge stations, because riders (and drivers) will have gently caress-all to do as they wait for their vehicles to recharge during long trips. 3-minute fill-ups, fun noise, and entertaining powerbands are the only bastions of performance that gas has over electric now. Edit: Forgot one more thing: weight! With current battery technology, at least.

I've found that SAE is good for situations where a bolt has rusted down a half-size. Or sometimes, a bolt was just not made to very stringent quality control specs and makes a metric socket's faces jiggle around it a little.

Motorcycle Ownership Cons: United States: 1) Generally lovely roads for motorcycling due to much larger landmass, allowing for plethora of straight roads 2) No filtering / lanesplitting in most states 3) "Get a real bike!" (fat potato rev) 4) Paucity of small bikes Europe: 1) You don't have a motorcycle because it's been stolen 2)Speed cameras

Fairings work on motorcycles. I think the world record for MPG was, for a while, held by a simple GN125 with a bathtub fairing. The top speed was also greatly increased, probably by whit of a different rear sprocket.
