Essential Any motorcycle riders here? (Official Motorcycle Thread)

[cheek100]

thinking of a getting an MT-07 for my first bike....
Love the look of a naked bike...
heard it's a solid starter bike that's good for very tall riders (unless I heard wrong)....
Unless y'all have better suggestions for starter bikes (open to all types of bikes; but partial to naked, dual sport and ADV bikes).
Seriously, I'm the rider equivalent of a damn white belt; help me lol


Also looking for social media channels that cater to Black ppl, or at least isn't littered with blatant white supremacist BS....
Just want tips/tricks/bike reviews without a fukkin 3 Percenter flag in the background or MAGA references.... smh

are u taking the rider course? highly recommended
i learned on a liter bike against everyone elses warnings. ur definitely on the right track naked bikes are awesome.

If you want p*ssy get a Harley. If you track get a sport bike that simple

There’s no in between? I want both

Either is cool, depends on the cc you’re looking at. You probably find used Ninja400 or Ninja650 for pretty cheap as a first time bike

CBR500 R, F, or X is a solid choice for a first bike. It's got enough power to keep you out of trouble and keep you interested for at least 2 seasons. I'd get the ABS model but that's personal preference.

sport bikes are not it in the city breh. you're gonna lose your mind and its bad for the bike. they wanna be in high RPMs all the time. they're also really uncomfortable 2 be cruising the city your body gonna be sore AF.

they're also easy AF 2 steal. you'll probably lose it within a year tops.

breh make sure you invest in gear and track days / lessons. It is not a cheap hobby at ALL. NEVER Ryde with no gear. I was broke when I first started riding and am lucky 2 be alive. being fearless and lacking skill is a deadly combination. I've known a lot of Ryders who aint here no more.


I don't care how hot it is. plan on spending at least a G on safety gear alone.

Any y’all bruhs into dirt bikes or quads?. I rode quads a few times and rode at the Pismo Beach Dunes once

my seeds Ryde them...I taught them how to Ryde it use 2 be a family thing.


they cracked down hard where we live now....I also don't have much land so I never Ryde my dirt bike anymore.....I got offers on it im prolly gonna flip it next couple of weeks I rode it once this summer
