Motorcycles, anyone? - lux - 04-27-2015
I love motorbikes, from a Ducati Panigale to a 125, I love them all (mostly).
What's SL's view on bikes? Do we have any riders here?
Unfortunately as I'm in the UK with have strict limitation on motorcycles and I'm limited to 11Kw (125cc) until I'm 19, where I'd have to take another test to pass to be able to ride a limited 600 (limitation is 37Kw, I think).
I'm PUMPED for the new KTM Freeride E-SM, though. As it's compliant with A1 regulations (11Kw), electric, has an hour run time, and 80 minute 100% charge. Sounds prefect for my commute to school.

I been interested in a 1980s to 1990s Harley Soft Tail.
Also been looking into Kawasaki Ninja 300.
Speed is not my goal I don't need to get killed.
BTW UK laws are shit.
Murica FTW there is no power limit here. Just cannot have passengers until 21 or some shit like that but who the hell has passengers on bikes now days.

Never was a fan of Harleys, I think you either love them or hate them.
I'm heard a Ninja 250/300 is a good bike, all the power you need without having to worry about loosing control.

Ninja 250 can't handle my fat ass need that 50 extra cc. But id rather have a Harley they run a lot longer, last longer only downside is they are loud as shit.

The riding position of a Harley just seems too odd to me, I've not tried a Harley so my opinion doesn't count for shit.
Ideally I'd want a Superleggera track bike, R6/R1 road bike, and a CR250. All I'd ever need.

I been on a couple Harley's they felt pretty comfortable. Been on a Honda as well it was alright.
I cant say much about sport bikes because I only got to sit on a Ninja ZX-6R.

It handles me just fine, and I'd bet money I'm probably bigger
I have a 2006 Ninja 250R. I just put the battery on the charger today to bring it up from 50% since it's been sitting for a while.

I did think you'd have a bike.
How're you finding the maintenance/upkeep?

I am 290 pounds at 5'9" (not scared to admit I am fat like many people are) I doubt you are bigger. I was on a pill when I was younger that caused my weight to start increasing. I cut it off and now I been loosing slowly I was over 300. I just need to cut out soda from my life and I should start shedding weight.

You two should just tell us your BMI. I'm pretty big, but I just drink protein drinks all day and watch anime.
