    The prices for used motorcycles drop faster then cars? Not here in europe... The only cheap bike you will find are 20 year old bikes or a used Gixxer (must be at least 8 years old). As an example, for a 3-4 year old MT-7 or Street Triple, actually that counts for nearly any bike, with around 10.000 miles on it, you will pay around 800€-1400€ less, then you would pay for a new one.

    Emblazoned across the title picture for this video was the words thin chain equals more speed. I have seen several people who think that it's a wise idea to put a lightweight race change on a street bike. I have never seen anybody have much luck with doing that as the chain cannot take the stresses of leaving from a stop constantly. They think that the race chain although lighter is stronger than a straight chain. All it's going to do is break. Race changes are made to race with and then replace.

    I bought my 2011 KLR 650 used from a Kawasaki dealer and have sunk significant money into remedying the hopelessly inadequate stock brakes and suspension. Will I ever recover the money spent should I chose to sell it? Probably not, far better to enjoy what is now a superb motorcycle. I bought my KTM 790 Duke new because there was no other option and will be hanging on to it as well, the well-known reliability issues have been addressed under warranty and the thing is an absolute delight on fast twisty roads. Likewise my most recent purchase is a 2019 Royal Enfield 650 Continental GT which the dealer has agreed to store free of charge until spring. Got a 500 dollar discount because it is a 2019 and the likelihood of these things changing radically year to year is low. I fell in love with the RE because it is frickin gorgeous and I can't wait for riding season so I can enjoy all three!

      I don't know where this myth stems from. One is speed the other is distance. Distance is a function of speed over time. For them to be separate they'd have to be using two entirely separate methods to measure speed. Why would they create two entirely separate mechanisms for measuring the speed of the bike just to then display them side by side in the same cluster?

    Bikes can be expensive AF in some parts of the world. Here in Brazil my 2010 Honda Lead 110cc scooter is worth about US$ 700.00. Just to put this into better context, the minimum wage here is about US$ 181.00 per month. A brand-new MT-07 will set you back approx US$ 7,500.00, which is about what that bike costs in the US. However, typical middle-class salaries here are much lower (in US$) than typical US middle-class salaries. In part, that's why small-displacement bikes are so prevalent in Brazil and in other developing countries. Now take a minute to imagine how expensive a car can be down here.

      Buddy had a snot rag in the V , and I asked, he said, yeh it drips a bit of gas after its been running for a while.....
      Spoiler, bike had 5700 kms, was brand new, looked mint... PO left gas in it too long and it ate the float bowl gasket o-rings.... 5$ and a year later, I have a mint 2002 SV650S that doesn't leak , does redline in top gear, and I've put 20,000 kms on it since changing the orings out, which took me 10 minutes, maybe 15 :D

    I just bought a bike with what was said is a clean title but they ended up laying it down and it only scratched up the right fender and they made a police report and when I went in to get it in my name I had to file it as a salvaged title because they made that police report. Apparently here in Idaho if a vehicle had to make a police report over a accident of any extent then it’s mandatory to report it as a Savage title. It so stupid. But yet it’s in perfect condition so it changed my mind on buying vehicles with a savaged title not in every case is it a bad thing to do just do it with caution.
