Ask your mother.

lmao wtf omg what a weeb :DD

Damn. Those are some sweet bikes. That's a crotch rocket with style.

I wish this thread got more attention and I'm not even OP

>>10678539
Then here. This image always seems to get /jp/ hard for teenage sukeban.

My uncle had a bike like that but he crashed it. They're fairly cheap.

My dad bought a Suzuki 800 Marauder from our drunk-ass neighbour that wasn't running and was able to fix it with a $3 carburetor part

it also has a dead battery and other parts but he doesn't want to put any money into it until drunk-ass transfers the title, and he's in jail

>>10678804

Pics? Links?

Yahoo auctions, you weeb

Bikes like those are just universal Japanese motorcycles. From the 60s bikes from Japanese manufacturers all more or less looked like that. Suzuki and Honda still make retro styled bikes, the TU250x and CB1100, respectively. On CL you can buy older bikes like that for a few hundred dollars. CB750s were amazing when they first came out and are still a classic today, can be had for under 2k easily, and can be had for about 600 but you're going to have to do a bit of work.

A CB1100

A TU250, the x variant is fuel injected and newer, the TU250 model has been made for a while now.

I had a xj650 a couple of years ago. It was fun but I sold it to fix my car.

I'd like to buy another someday. Something cheap like one of these.

What's the smallest CC bike I can get and it still be a street legal motorbike? I'm really small, but I want to ride!

>>10679358
I never realized they were that cheap. I want to get one like that. All the kids here are just running around in their shitty sport bikes, I need to be a hipster and get something different.

>>10680533
I've seen a lot on the college campus scene...from the view point of mu window ;_;
I couldn't tell you though. They have bigger tires a little motor on the end that goes "putt-putt-putt-voom-vvrrroom" and the frames are made of a small metal frame you could mistake for a regular bike from a distance away. I always feel like shouting out of my window to ask the girl what bike model it is and where I can pick one up, but then I would look like creepy freak with my "autism" shining brightly.

What about scavenging some spare parts and make your own chopper jp?

>>10680630
I don't like those bikes, but save them because they look so silly. They seem to be the hottest thing for bikers these days though.

>>10680533
Around here the smaller the engine, the less you need to ride it on the road. It's something like this: Less than 50cc, you don't need a motorcycle license, 100cc or less and you get a restricted license allowing you to drive bikes less than 100cc, and anything greater than 100cc you get an unrestricted license. Anything with a displacement smaller than 90cc also don't need emission testing. Most bikes less than 100cc will either be old or cheap knockoffs, or some sort of scooter. A lot of people start on 250s and outgrow them quickly, so they end up selling them. The sweet spot seems to be between 450cc and 750cc for most people.

At the moment the bike I ride is 90cc and it forces you to drive pretty conservatively. It's great on gas though, insurance is dirt cheap, and having a manual clutch and gears is still fun enough for it to not be boring to ride. It won't win any races though, it maxes out at around 50mph with me riding it at 165lbs.

>>10680825
I cant afford a licence for my motor cycle though...

Why not get a real Japanese sportbike? I love my 2005 CBR 1000RR

>>10681426
Why would anyone want a liter bike for anything other than highway driving and days at the track? Not to mention a sportbike will be uncomfortable compared to almost everything else out there.

>>10681426
Because we are not pleb.

>>10681426
nice cookiecutter kid

>>10681426
If I had the money I'd buy one, but I'm not a fan of sportsbikes, really don't like the look. I prefer them naked.

>>10680825
God this is gorgeous. I've been thinking on getting a 50's Norton or a Triumph. I only need to learn how to drive.

>>10681437
>a sportbike will be uncomfortable compared to almost everything else out there

Huh? This bike is like a damn couch. I rode this bike North Carolina from South Florida, nearly 1500 miles both ways and not once did my ass hurt or wrists cramp.

As far as the convenience goes, if you're simply cruising around town a 250cc would be perfect. Has just enough power to get your ass going. I have a piece of shit 2000 Ninja 250 that I bought for $500 that I ride as well when doing shit around town because the god damn thing will run off the smell of an oily rag.

>>10681426
>>10681469
Why is that fucking children's toy in both pictures

>>10681469
When I say "This bike" I'm referring to
>>10681426


People complain about the comfort of sportbikes far too often. I happen to find them extremely comfortable. Maybe their riding position is just shit and they're putting tons of weigh on their wrists, or have their ass too far backwards, I don't know.

>>10681478
Because that anon is a child for having a sports bike.

>>10681478
I place the toy in the front yard to get the child's attention and make them want to play with it, then move it to the back yard. When they come to the backyard to further inspect the toy and its playworthyness, I'm there waiting with a rag soaked in chloroform.

>>10681469
That's not a sportbike.

>>10681490

>>10681487
>a sports bike

I own 4

>>10681494
A Ninja 250, despite being slow compared to other sportbikes, is still indeed a sportbike.

such beautiful machines. When I get a real job, I want to own one of these. Im an autistic loner, but I want to be one of those cool autistic loners like Newton, tesla or democratus

>>10681920
I don't recall any of those guys being avid motorcycle riders

>>10681928
Shows how much you know.

>>10681928
they were cool for other reasons, though.

This thread is rock n' roll.

>>10681920
Some bikes like that are actually pretty cheap. That second one, the SV650, is about $2000 used give or take a few hundred. Insurance is also cheap, because it's not considered a sport bike. Good on gas too. Usually bikes like that have engines from sportbikes tuned more for riding in cities, with more comfortable upright seating and handlebars. Usually no plastic fairings to scratch or shatter if you were to drop it too.

I'm hoping to sell my car to get one this summer, getting pretty excited.

Would I look cool on a cruiser

Can we start a NEET biker gang or does being a gangster count as employment

>>10681955
Cruisers don't look very cool... Bike gangs don't count as employment depending on what you do.

>>10681952
best part is no one loves me so if I die in an accident, it wont be bad

thank you /jp/ I have always wanted to own a motorbike, and I have made it a goal now

>>10681962
They look cool in a "taking it easy" way. Not to mention you can hop on one and go for a 1000 mile trip no problem.

>>10681973
To each their own I guess.

>>10678707
I want to read it now.
Hope I can find a pdf or something

>>10681936

>>10681998
There aren't even hard copies readily available. The author doesn't have his own website either, Seriously wtf man. You have to be a pretty bad marketer to be this incompetent in not providing a book source for your reader audience.

Seems like the bosozuku era is pretty much over at this point. I could be wrong though.

Yes, I've been saying this for years. They had reached their greatest and last era in the 1980's. If you see any today they just look dumb like >>10680597

Well damn

get a real bike, fag.

Oh sorry I didn't check this thread after posted

If the thread is around tomorrow I'll take some pictures for you, but our garage is a mess right now because we had to sell our warehouse which functioned as both a storage place and a base for our now defunct business
So don't call me a hoarder when it's all messy

>>10686158
Hey, no worries man. I understand. I know how hectic life can get.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm17079984

Are there any companies that still make 90cc motorcycles as opposed to mopeds? I've looked at some of the big manufacturers but all they offer for that engine size is mopeds. I see a lot of slick looking Chinese motorcycles with 90cc engines but I can't get those in america. Do I have to buy vintage if I want a small engine motorcycle that won't make me look like a faggot?

>>10687764
Yes, there are. My friend just said he would help me pick up from the store.

>>10687764
I'm pretty sure some manufacturers make 125cc motorcycles. I know Honda makes 125cc street bikes, as well as Kawasaki. I don't know if they sell them in the US though.

These look like young Yakuza on the rise who are joinging forces for the first time. I like em. I wonder what their stories are, but they're not really Yanki or Bosozuku.

>>10690228
And this is how the Japanese police can lie and say that Bosozuku have nearly disappeared.
They changed to driving cars and dressing like American negro rap musicians. Still the same people performing the same crimes

>>10690216
Wow, Its like a Saturday night in Irvine, California

>>10690409
Okay, well I can except that for a few reasons, but thwy don't look like American negros and two to say they're the same people is a little odd to me. Most bosozuku were 16 - 20 year olds, but you can't even get a car licence until you are 20 in Japan. If anything they're an older age group now. Some Bosozuku did have cars, but this was rare and their leaders drove them iligially some how.

>>10681468
That's the same model that I ride daily, but of course mine doesn't look as clean. 48 years old, just got it to 5000 miles today.

I wish I had enough money to buy a full wardrobe of Visvim

>>10690796
Why do you have so much toilet paper? Sorry for off-topic just really curious why one man needs that much toilet paper.

>>10693306
It's the only size Costco sells it in.

>>10693303
Fund it.
But seriously, why can't you just save up your money and buy one? Can't you like get a job or something?

>>10694251
$600-1000 for a pair of shoes isn't worth any amount of working

You can buy 2 - 3 fairly expensive wardrobes with that cash flow man.
Pic related to thread - It's am a.80's bosozuku Sukeban TV show.

I was able to get a 1967 Suzuki for a barely-working PS3 and a bass guitar. Craigslist is your friend.

>>10690796
That's beautiful. Is it hard to maintain? Are parts for these old models easily available on the market?

>>10694424
I've only been riding it for about a month and so far all that's gone into it is an oil change (one quart of oil), a chain lube, a new fuel cock, a kick start lever, and new bulbs because the battery fell out while I was riding and it blew every single light on the bike. I'm pretty sure the tires are original and they need to be changed badly. Somehow they still hold air though. There seem to be a lot of parts available but they most all ship from SE Asia.

Most of the trouble on the bike has come from the muffler, which is from a Yamaha YS-80. It's always been on this bike though and I don't know where the original muffler went.
