Bike talk: Motorcycle/Scooter chat thread!

Kurt just agreed with me about something from the 70s... What the hell is going on here. Are you drunk, kirt?

It's a retro/throwback style on a new bike, I just don't like old, Clunky, Unreliable, Slow junk. :mrgreen:

 

[Accel.speed]

Well unfortunately for you, Accel, It's one of the most popular liter bikes in production so your opinion is invalid. :lol:

Just like the mustang. And I still think it looks like shit :lol:

Hipster.

Just accept the pony car into your life and it will show you what love is.

And yet you seem to like my C70... :rolf:

 

[R13]

Slow but not clunky, That thing weighs what? 50lbs? :lol:

 

[94RS]

Old, clunky, slow and super fucking bouncy :lol:

Probably weighs 150lbs give or take a little bit.

 

[R13]

The c70 weighs as much as the monster YZ. :rolf:

Bikes won't usually get unbearably clunky until you start approaching 300lbs, That 80s YZ I had was about 260lbs and it was awful.

It should've just had aluminium poles for suspension to save weight. :lol:

The seat was the worst thing, You had to stand up or you would slide forward and rack your nuts on the gas cap.

 

[94RS]

So, factory specs say it weighs 180ish. Figure since the rear fender, front fender, bars and electronics are gone it should weigh about 150 for sure.

Wanna talk about shitty seats, look at the fucking angle on mine. I have to scoot forward at every light :lol:

This is why I don't have an RC yet...

Let's just take a look at kbb, Mind you this is blue book.

Now lets take a look at the kbb for the rare and highly sought after 06 black Sp2.

Greedy hicks.

 

[94RS]

:rolf: That first guy. Has no use for an RC51 because he bought a V-Rod.

 

[Accel.speed]

So the bike he's selling is a 2000?

 

[R13]

:lol:

Rednecks...

If I were spending that much on a bike I would've just made the down payment and brought that 999 home.

 

[R13]

The first one is a 2000, The 2nd one is either a '00 or '01, You can identify them by the swingarm, 00-01 Sp1 had a different swingarm from the 02-06 Sp2's.

The suspension is also better on the sp2 as well as the fuel injection system, They made improvements to fix things like the power surge at low steady speeds, Not that big of a deal to me, I can change the swingarm, Upgrade the suspension and retune the fuel system to make it just as good or better.

No wonder it was posted two months ago. That's a stupid price for an old bike
