I might ride the lost coast this upcoming weekend but I should probably get some dual sport boots first.

Take a motorcycle safety class and get your license. From there you should get some protective gear and start the purchase process. The tried and true cheap bike for beginners is the Ninja 250. You really cant go with that. From there you'll be able to learn what type of riding you enjoy the most and make your next bike purchase off of that info.

*You really can't go wrong with the Ninja*
To continue, just remember that your first bike doesn't have to be your last. I started out with a shitty bike and learned that I most enjoyed riding all day across the state so I purchased a bike for that. You might think you want to do a certain type of riding but soon find out that's not what ypu enjoy so it's ideal to spend as little as you can for a running first bike.

Hey bike fags…
So ive been thinking of getting a bike. I rode trial bikes all my childhood to school in italy and guatemala so i have some experience, but of course the us is a shithole for any type of driving so its probably worthless…
Anyone ever DD a trial or dual purpose bike on the highways? Ive been thinking of getting something like a honda xr or similar in the 450 range or bigger?
How many miles can you squeeze out on the highway? Any issues with car/trucks zipping pass you and the air pushiing you off?
What do you bike do you recommend for DD work/ beach time?
Also what are your thoughts on using a ktm 450 sxf on the road?

I've ridden quite a few dual sports on the street with no problems whatsoever. It's better to go with a bigger one like an XR650 but the 350s and 400s are also fine but not as good on the highway. As for the highway, you'll be fine if you have 80/20 tires but if you use knobby 50/50s you will have vibrations at high speed. You can just go a little slower and be fine. Really any Japanese DS will be good for DD/beach. I'd stay far away from that KTMthough. Pure dirt bikes need maintenance frequently if you put lots of street miles on them. You'll probably be a lot happier with a reliable DS.

I'm looking into getting an affordable bike, I currently drive a Jeep that gets craptastic mileage, and I'd like to get a bike for day-to-day commute.
I was looking into the Suzuki tu250x, would this be a good beginner/commute bike? Pic related. Keep in mind I've never biked before.

For some reason I've been watching bike pov videos. I have to ask, why do so many of them get angry about every single thing they see on the road. They get more pissy about rules broken than the cops do and take it upon themselves to make sure that person knows they made a mistake.
Even if they were in the right it comes off like they're just assholes. "I'm filming you!" or some other shit.

What's a cheap moto? Talking like the kind that are really real cheap and I can easily mess with fixing. I know ninjas are plentiful but I'm not really looking for a sportbike.
It can be a small bike, too. I'm not planning on going 70 on the parkway right out of my 15 hour msf classes.

I don't know where you live, but in the US, anything under 700cc is acceptable.
My first bike was a 1979 Yamaha XS650 that was a HUUUGE piece of shit. I learned a lot from that bike. Like how to set valves, clean engine sludge, troubleshoot wiring harnesses, troubleshoot charging systems, fix ancient disintegrating fuse blocks, steering head bearings….
the list goes on forever.
Pre1980's bikes are usually points-based ignition and simple carburetors.
late 80's-90's bikes typically are hard to find parts for anymore.
Stick to something with a cult following and you'll be fine. Such as the CX500/xs650/cb750.
If you're looking for something smaller for whatever reason, get a honda rebel 250 and modify it to be less dike-bike, or find a wrecked ninja 250 at auction for pennies and throw $20 on it.

No-wheels fag here, I've got a long time rider and mechanic friend hyping me up to buy a| bike and go traveling and Korean/Chinese bikes that use that system are my first -and probably only- choice; besides the Suzuki DR650.
He tells me how in his travels to bike events he has seen many a great ride stranded while cheap air-cooled knockoffs are easily repairable almost anywhere. It's the only choice because this is a socialist shithole where finding parts is an exercise in frustration and having your ride be too good or too shabby can get you killed for it.

Why is it so hard to find a used bike? Like let's start I want 20010 DRZ 400 SM I can't find any of them anywhere! do dealers throw them away so you are forced to buy new bikes?
How much milage can you get on a bike, like cars can go 100k before problems will star occouring etc. It's just well known marker for cars. But bike I only see have a few thousand miles at most or less. Why do they never sell dualsport bikes with abs? like I want this bike, the Honda XRE 300. but they do not sell it in the USA.
