[zinc pike]

oh yeahh

[marble cloud]

thats overdone and incoherent

[zinc pike]

C8 is a good shout

[spare vigil]

well yeah

[marble cloud]

at least the lambo is consistent

[zinc pike]

Lambo atleast has a design language

And yeah the veneo aged really well tbh

[marble cloud]

the C8 looks like it was designe dby committee

[zinc pike]

c7 was amazing

[spare vigil]

might just be me generally not liking most of the new Ferraris

[zinc pike]

I kinda agree with that tbh

[spare vigil]

only ones I've liked are the Roma and the Monza SP1 and 2

[zinc pike]

wb the sp3

for me it looks, weird

[spare vigil]

and even then the roma doesn't make me awooga

[zinc pike]

Roma looks nice but nothing special

[spare vigil]

yeah

[zinc pike]

sp1 and 2 are amazing

[spare vigil]

the SP3 is weird

[zinc pike]

The new 296 is cool

[spare vigil]

the only thing i like about it are the foreskin headlights

[zinc pike]

Sf90 is still growing on me

f8 looks bad

[spare vigil]

the SF90 is alright to me

[zinc pike]

why

[zinc pike]

i just think the rear is a bit weird, i generally like it

uhhh did my discord just break

it did

[spare vigil]

the only recent Ferrari that really makes me lose my shit is

well

the FXXK Evo

[zinc pike]

FXXK

yep

[spare vigil]

yeah lmao

that car is awesome

[zinc pike]

ifkr

looks like a missile, drives like one too

[spare vigil]

like

it's aggressive and simple

[spare vigil]

mmmmmmmmm

[zinc pike]

amazing cars

[spare vigil]

yellow to piss off old Enzo more

[spare vigil]

honestly I'd like to go and paint every ferrari yellow

[zinc pike]

w h a t

[spare vigil]

it would be funny

[zinc pike]

n o

[spare vigil]

it would be funny

[zinc pike]

true but

I'll cry

[spare vigil]

more importantly Enzo's ghost will cry

that's more important

way funnier

[zinc pike]

Only Ferrari i wouldn't have in red might be the uhhhh, gtc4 lusso ig

[spare vigil]

also I'd just like to piss Ferrari off in general because they're dickheads

[zinc pike]

Fair

Paint them pink

[spare vigil]

suing your own customers for customizing their own car

rather cringe

[spare vigil]

i actually like fuschia though

[zinc pike]

Justin Beiber got banned right

[zinc pike]

oh

win win then

[spare vigil]

too bad fuschia doesn't work on many cars

[zinc pike]

then there's Lamborghinis

[spare vigil]

there is one car modified that would look amazing in fuschia

[zinc pike]

o

Rx7?

an rx7 would look cool

[spare vigil]

this with yellow tint headlights

[zinc pike]

Oh hell yeah!

RWB

[spare vigil]

that's actually cool

[zinc pike]

how do you make a Lamborghini more agressive

[zinc pike]

I love it

Its ridiculous

[spare vigil]

the cheapest modification you can get done on your car

only costs letting a middle aged japanese man live in your house

[zinc pike]

[spare vigil]

and smoke 10 packs of cigarettes a day

[zinc pike]

And a pack of malboro

[spare vigil]

then letting him flip your rare porsche on its side

[zinc pike]

Taking a grinder and eyeballing it

[spare vigil]

while using a fucking bonesaw on it

yep

[zinc pike]

based af

just eyeballing it

[spare vigil]

didn't lambo just straight up do this with less of the widening shit

[zinc pike]

well tbh the veneno is just this turned to 11

[spare vigil]

oh right they did

[zinc pike]

and the svj yeah

that sound

[spare vigil]

i actually do like modern lambo

moreso than modern ferrari

besides the huracan ofc it looks off to me

this is actually pretty cool

[zinc pike]

i like the Huracan

and modern Lamborghini in general yeah

[spare vigil]

and the redone Countach is alright

[zinc pike]

they overdo everything and still look great

[spare vigil]

this is ight

[zinc pike]

it looks decent yeah

[spare vigil]

yeah

[marble cloud]

any retro interpretation of an old classic looks dumb in the end

[zinc pike]

fair yeah, they are always limited by the boundaries of their current platform, the Aventador in this case

[marble cloud]

because if they had truly modernized the countach it would look like a gallardo or murcielago or huracan... because thats exactly what happened 🤣

[spare vigil]

i actually like this interpretation of the Countach more than the Countach itself

the Countach just looks weird to me

[zinc pike]

fancy doorstop

[marble cloud]

this is just a modern lamborghini with old design elements from a countach... which in itself runs counter to the intention

[zinc pike]

looks neat

idk

Just a reskinned Aventador tho

[marble cloud]

ignore production countach

embrace proto countach

[zinc pike]

[spare vigil]

the better countach

[marble cloud]

it had overheating issues :p

[zinc pike]

modern regulations simply won't allow another car like this

[spare vigil]

yeah but it's nice

what's your favourite lambo @zinc pike

[zinc pike]

probably the Aventador

its the first car i...liked?

yeah

[marble cloud]

the huracan is the best looking lamborghini of the modern era

[spare vigil]

wait that's fucking rocket i thought it was some rando

[zinc pike]

i knew you would be confused

[spare vigil]

#1 Lambo

[zinc pike]

context for the name is in #964886778764988456

[zinc pike]

I still prefer the Aventador but fair

[sick geyser]

Bonus points for the accent btw 👌

[cyan wind]

limited edition supercar

new design

[river bridge]

C10 nearing completion

[river bridge]

Ferrari fan and I approve 👍

[spare vigil]

ferrari fans united in hating on enzo

[river bridge]

Well, he isn’t the ceo I talk most about

Montozemolo is goated

Back to pagani

Six speed manual is gonna be offered in this thing

[twin belfry]

👀

[river bridge]

Indeed

[open kayak]

No way.

Thank you, Pagani.

[river bridge]

Honestly it’s unbelievable that the car it’s replacing is over 10 years old now

[twin belfry]

I have bright hopes for the new Pagani, as well as its future iterations

[hollow moth]

Hold up

Pagani has replaced its flagship at a quicker rate then lambo

[river bridge]

Both cars potentially could debut at the same event

Actually no the c10 is being revealed in Milan

Aventador successor pebble beach potentially

[hollow moth]

Don’t like the look of it even with the camo livery the headlights look too small

Looks like a modern take on a zonda

[river bridge]

I wasn’t too big of a fan of the pill shaped lights

[hollow moth]

Which exactly wasn’t the best looking car to start off with

Fully expecting the new lambo to be ugly as well as it will be inspired by the Sian like how the reventon inspired the aventador

[river bridge]

I would’ve liked the hwa derived v12

[jagged crater]

If they went N/A V12 Hybrid that'd be sick

[marble cloud]

V10 pls

[spare vigil]

V6 Hybrid CVT

[zinc pike]

Huayra successor?

[river bridge]

Yes

[river bridge]

Well lambo’s doing that

Pagani doesn’t want to

[zinc pike]

Epicc

[jagged crater]

Well Pagani only got HWA in for the R so idk if they have the resources to a road production if that engine

Tho 900bhp or even like 750 from an N/A Hybrid would be BUSSIN bruv

[jagged crater]

A V10 Pagani would be like... Ayo

[twin belfry]

Ilmor and Mercedes creates the V10, just like how they did from 1995-2005

[jagged crater]

Well that'd just be HPP

[marble cloud]

merc has no V10 so it can't happen

[jagged crater]

And plus they tried doing the V6 for the AMG-One, and well...

That's the AMG-One

I know, and Merc makes like no N/A engines either

But like say 5.4L V10 or whatever

650hp plus 150-200 Hybrid... Like 40-50mpg, ez dub

[sharp nacelle]

[polar warren]

petition

which one is better

[cyan wind]

as a whole? looks?

for looks i think the yamaha sucks ass in that department

[polar warren]

whole, even if specs are pretty similar

[cyan wind]

take a read through this

And as a teen-ager once... I would ponder 'long term' outlooks greater than oh...... a month? What seems all important today can change in what appears an eye-blink to an old crone like me!
Two years is not 'for-ever'...

Insurance is oft the crippler, and that is where I would start. For a young rider, under 18, insurance is high, as in price of a bike high. AND if you are under 18, these 'pay-monthly' schemes can be a shitter, because they are not pay-as-you-go, they are an annual policy, and a years credit deal... which you have to be over 18 to legally take out.... means some-one has to under-write the credit scheme for you or pay for your insurance. Teen-income is also often unpredictable, and it can be a bone of contention if circumstances change or things don't go to plan. I MUCH preffer paying up-dont for a year's policy, then putting aside the monthly payments so I can do like-wise next year... no contension and you save maybe 15% of policy price against the credit charges, more against any 'change' penalties'.

So, plan on paying insurance upfront, that could cut your budget in half.

AND rather than looking at RS's or YZF's, you are looking at YBR's & CG's.

https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=3385829

i've gone a bit off what you asked

i'm guessing you're wanting a first bike?

[fossil gulch]

Neither lmao

Especially if you are learning, why would you buy new

Insurance is gonna be insane

Compared to an older used bike

(At least in my limited experience)

[cyan wind]

i also found the idea of sport 125's kinda ridiculous

just get a naked or smth

[fossil gulch]

Maybe it’s just my NA brain by why TF would you buy a 125 anyways

Like wouldn’t any highway driving be completely ass

[cyan wind]

in the UK, it's the only thing you can get a first bike

then 19 is 400 i think

[fossil gulch]

Interesting, here you can buy anything

They actually won’t let you drive a big displacement bike if you don’t do your testing on a big displacement bike

[cyan wind]

yeah it's pretty strict over here

[fossil gulch]

It’s pretty strict here too but just different

Like we have no passengers, only during certain hours and almost 2 years to get your full license

125’s are pretty useless unless you live in a big city and don’t plan on traveling anywhere

Im (hopefully) getting my license this summer and I’m not considering anything below 500cc

Here are the different licenses you can get

So anything less than 500 gimps me

[jagged crater]

In the UK if you buy something beyond like a 1.4L for a first car and you're a guy your insurance will rob you of everything

[cyan wind]

literally

mopeds are even worse

[fossil gulch]

Nah, mopeds are goat, cheap and simple enough that you can repair anything for Pennies and you only need a car license

[cyan wind]

but speed and being able to go anywhere outside of a city is pretty shit

you need to have it for a specific reason for it to be useful

[neon nacelle]

2008 R6>>>>>>

[marble cloud]

the internet has thought me that if it doesnt have a minimum of 1000hp its basically useless garbage

The mk5 is a bmw and the others don't exist

i think all other Yamahas look awesome, i think the 14 plate r1 is a beauty, but the 125 just looks like a stretched version of the r1

Based opinion🤝

[cyan wind]

i still don't know why yamaha felt the need to stretch the headlight on the 125 version

[unique sluice]

absolutely pointless from the rider

he has so long to spot the lorry coming out and a completely clear median to use if he has to

but hey just ride into the conflict and flip off the other driver for good measure

i swear 99% of dash cams i see involve the cammer also driving like a knob and pointlessly escalating the situation

same shit different CC

[jagged crater]

But like... 250 i4's

The revs tho

https://youtu.be/_hwUUzEEUhw

[lusty crystal]

Well you have a point. But the issue is that he was indicating for the entire time I was going down that path. Even when I was still at the light 6-700m away I saw him indicating and standing still, with no traffic whatshowever. And only when I arrive he decides to pull out, hence why I looked back giving him the middlefinger.

Also I went to the left because otherwise I would've been standing still on an intersection.
I don't get why you would think I should've stopped on a 90kph road with cars behind me. I'm on the road and he's not.

Context is important.

[unique sluice]

oh you're the rider lol

if he was indicating for 6-700m that should have set even more alarm bells off

[lusty crystal]

What

Nono don't hold in I really wanna hear this

[unique sluice]

it's still your right of way like you said but it's poor defensive driving

even carrying on through at the same speed was fine but turning round to flip him off is just pointless

[lusty crystal]

Agreed

The gopro lens makes it look further away than it is

Plus I've been in an accident after being cut off blindly and then brake checked 3x

hence the taped indicator.

So if I do go around a bit more and get frustrated it's because of that

[unique sluice]

it's even more important when you're on a bike since you're so much more vulnerable

[lusty crystal]

I understand, but the footage is really wide cuz my gopro is mounted sideways

So it looks way further than it really is.

That's why I went left, only to realise him steering back right

At least he had the decency to admit his mistake, and I shouldn't have flipped him off

[unique sluice]

i mean you had the space clear on the left and it looks like you would have been able to stop if he made an even worse move

so it's not that bad, there just wasn't much conflict avoidance going on there

[lusty crystal]

Exactly why I went left, to either brake or to pick up speed if need be

Plus I had a clearer vision of the slip road on the right

Before the highway entrance I took, there's another road

That's the main reason I went left, to make myself visible

Cuz cars see a truck getting on slowly and just try to get ahead of them

[lusty crystal]

As for conflict avoidance. Last time I did that by not revving like an idiot, or honking cuz I knew he didn't see me as he blindly cut me off from behind a van he brakechecked me 2x and once when overtaking, then fled when I over corrected. So yeah sometimes I do get fed up

Anyways srry for the rant, thanks for the wakeup call tho

[unique sluice]

i dont think honking or revving is particularly bad, they both serve to make other people aware of your surroundings

[lusty crystal]

Yes but it happened and I was able to stop just in time

So I figured honking would just start a conflict.

He then proceeded to brake check me agressively waving his hands. I put my hand up as a sign of "What did I do?" or "what's wrong" where he got triggered and brakechecked me again

To this day I still don't know why, and the legal process is still ongoing

[cyan wind]

it'll sound nice but it's not anything different really

[proud arch]

probably cost saving

[hidden tinsel]

i had my midlife crisis at 36, heres the email where i bought i censored so you guys cant call me a liar.

thanks guys 👍 , plan to do a bit of work but i wanna catalogue everything thats been done to it before i do work on it

not gonna make it a 1000hp car either, plan on making it roughly 450-500 and try to make it similar to my m2 that im now selling, its a surprisingly small wheel base. so im gonna do a light tune and heavily invest into the stability and suspension

if that doesnt make sense its because english is the second language

New intake & catback, intercooler, tune

it does what 320 stock?

wait no I read that as 400 not 450

[hidden tinsel]

Yes it can do that on the stock turbo.

But i might go bi turbo, i live in mountains so high torque and low end power = fun time

an electric gtr makes a ton of sense tbh

[twin belfry]

First an Electric Vette now Electric GTR

[open kayak]

It does.

To me, the Z has been the driver's car.

The GT-R, meanwhile, was the "tech" car.

It's always put great emphasis on its engineering.

Just as it followed the switch to four and all-wheel-drive, it makes sense for it to follow E.V.s.

[pseudo gull]

exactly this

plus all people really use it for is straight line speed

which evs are great at

Quality meme, nevertheless.

[spare vigil]

R36 with DRS maybe

It highly depends on Nissan’s financial stability

If it doesn’t improve it will likely be a hybrid or purely ice

[cyan wind]

fuck sake

[dense trellis]

Yep

[cyan wind]

i hope to death that's not real

[river bridge]

Imo it’s what Nissan perceived as it’s best case scenario regarding cash if they can afford it, if not it’ll just be an r35 with a massive spec bump if they don’t have the funds

[jagged crater]

Which'd kill it

[pseudo gull]

nah the gtr was always meant to be pretty technologically advanced

i’m surprised it’s not already a hybrid tbh

electric or electrified makes a ton of sense for it, it’s already big and heavy so the weight argument doesn’t work, nobody takes them on really long trips so neither does the range one

[pseudo gull]

allow me to fix their headline:
"journalist angry about accuracy of a docu-drama film"

next they'll be complaining about a lack of women in 1917

[open kayak]

It's a safe bet to assume there's an article on that, already.

[pseudo gull]

im not even going to bother looking, i'm already just disappointed

[marble cloud]

6/11 is not a percentage but this is half so how is this admirable? what is acceptable then?

[calm hare]

I think they mean if you convert 6/11 to a percentage, it’s half and half between men and women

[open kayak]

What I find amazing is that people can be this miserable.

They're so unsatisfied that they can find bad in just about any facet of life.

[pseudo gull]

the fact that the gender of board members matters at all is just pointless

if theyre good at their job, theyre good at it. gender shouldnt be something to comment on

[calm hare]

it matters because women often don’t get representation

obviously if you’re just trying to fill a quota, it’s bad

but sexism in the workplace is something that very much exists

[open kayak]

Let's not forget this is coming of a movie on a motorsport story.

That's the point that was originally trying to be made.

• These convoluted connections between controversial matters and anything.

[calm hare]

in that context it’s just irrelevant

historical accuracy is what matters if you’re trying to portray history

[open kayak]

Exactly, which is why it's entertaining that some people are frustrated enough that they write these mini-essays on why it's a bad thing.

I mean, we live in an era where people are trying to find happiness in just about everything we do, but at that same time, people just enjoy unearthing these bad things.

• Even in the most convoluted way imaginable, like in the case of the article.

Live and let be.

[marble cloud]

so what? do we need representation of women for condoms for example? these ppl need to stop trying to force women to do jobs theyre not interested in.

[open kayak]

From what we've studied in my classes, 6/11 is a really healthy number.

[calm hare]

obviously not, that’s not the point I was making

in this context it’s irrelevant

but in general, representation of women overall is an issue

[open kayak]

General Motors is doing pretty okay for itself, too. I'm not sure why the writer was complaining about it, even if it were relevant.

[calm hare]

it should be merit based, of course, but the reality is that sexism is still a very real thing especially for high level corporate jobs

[marble cloud]

I am asking why

we know that as society gets more egalitarian the differences between men and women increase they don't decrease. look at the choices men and women make in Scandinavia VS US

so why should it be a goal to get 50-50?

[calm hare]

I never said it’s the goal to get 50/50

I literally said it should be merit based, which is true

[marble cloud]

well if it's merit based what is the problem with "lack of representation"?

[calm hare]

the problem is sexism exists

[marble cloud]

sexism won't disappear

same way we will always have racism

[calm hare]

a women can be fit for the job but a man’ll get chosen for it because he’s a man

[marble cloud]

like kamala harris? for example

[calm hare]

if you just want to throw your hands up and say “well that’ll always happen no point to try and go against it” then it’ll just keep increasing

[calm hare]

unrelated

we’re talking about corporate jobs

just because we’ll always have racism/sexism doesn’t mean we don’t try and counter it

[marble cloud]

I happen to think government is far more important than a company

[calm hare]

it should be merit-based, that’s the point of this

but it should also be fair

[marble cloud]

well it isn't

Biden promised he would get a black woman into the supreme court

this is the opposite of merit based

[calm hare]

right, and if it’s just doing it to fill a quota then it’s not good

it’s not fair that way either

[marble cloud]

well that is what "lack of representation" leads to

[calm hare]

the main goal is always fairness, but you’ve got to acknowledge that sexism exists and is a real issue in the world of corporate jobs

[marble cloud]

and its quite obvious it isnt "men get jobs because theyre men"

[calm hare]

right, and I disagree with it

but at the same time, be fair. don’t be sexist, don’t be racist

[marble cloud]

its "women and minorities" get jobs

and by that I mean preferential treatment

BBC in UK turned down all white men because they werent looking for more white men

this is called racism

[calm hare]

and yet again I’m going to repeat myself

the end goal is always fairness in my eyes

[marble cloud]

I agree

[calm hare]

but having said that, sexism is still a very real thing that happens to women today

[marble cloud]

but if you force "representation" you are forcing unfairness

you cant have your cake and eat it

[calm hare]

right and nobody called to force representation

so I don’t know what you’re arguing

[marble cloud]

you did

[calm hare]

no I didn’t

I’ve said multiple times it should be fair and merit-based

[marble cloud]

did you say women lack representation?

[calm hare]

yes, and I also said it should be fair and merit-based for them

I’ve also said that fairness is the end goal for me

I’m not trying to force anything but if you want to cherry-pick what I’ve said, go ahead

[marble cloud]

ok so lets say you have 5 positions to fill

1000 men apply and 1000 women

all 5 positions go to men because theyre the most competent

do we still "lack female representation"?

[calm hare]

if they’re truly the most competent for the job, fine

that’s fair in my eyes

[marble cloud]

so the problem is that you think men unfairly get jobs because theyre men

[calm hare]

no, I don’t, I said that it’s something that happens in the world of corporate jobs

which is true, in quite a few cases

[marble cloud]

ok so where is the proof of this?

I can name specific cases where lawsuits exist because men are being rejected for being men

where does this happen to women?

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-48460555

this is what happens in reality

[calm hare]

I’m really getting tired of repeating myself, so once again — and I’ll put it in bold — I’ll say it.

sexism is a very real problem that exists in the world today. I’m not trying to force representation, I’m not trying to say it should happen. I’m saying that fairness is the end goal in my eyes, that merit should decide over all. having said that, however, you cannot ignore the fact that sexism does exist, and is a problem we’ve got to tackle by a means other than forcing representation.

[marble cloud]

I think you mean to say does* exist

sexism does exist

[calm hare]

I noticed, but thank you

[marble cloud]

but tell me sexism is a major problem today compared to 19XX?

[calm hare]

again, that’s not what I said

[marble cloud]

I didnt claim you did

I am asking a question

[calm hare]

it’s a lot less, but it does exist

and it’s still an issue

[marble cloud]

I want to understand your perspective

I want to know how bad it is and how often it happens

I dont know anyone who would say sexism is good

or who would deny somebody a job for being a woman

so I need to ask where the "bad guys" are

[calm hare]

well I can’t speak from experience because I’m not a woman, but I have heard personal experiences from my mom for example, and from others too

[marble cloud]

your honor I move to strike this off the record as hearsay ;p

[calm hare]

denied a promotion, didn’t explain in detail why, and then gave the promotion to a man who’s been doing the same work as her for the same hours for roughly the same amount of time

like, it happens

might not always happen, but it happens

[marble cloud]

doesnt mean it was sexism

[calm hare]

how was it not? the variables were almost the same

[marble cloud]

how can you say?

[calm hare]

because I know what happened

[marble cloud]

are you privy to all the details?

what if the guy does a much better job?

you think its not a natural reaction to be pissed you didnt get a promotion and to not like the person who did?

[calm hare]

you think I’m talking about my mom’s reaction?

buddy, it’s not

[marble cloud]

what youre talking about a hypothetical?

[calm hare]

it’s my dad’s reaction, and he does know

[calm hare]

it’s a real life situation

[marble cloud]

so? you think men dont have emotions?

[calm hare]

no, but he’s a lot better educated on what happened

and he did say it was unfair

[marble cloud]

you realize that being passed for a promotion is indirectly telling somebody theyre not as good

the anger is expected

I have experienced it personally

[calm hare]

it’s not even indirect

[marble cloud]

I once competed for a job in the car industry

had 2 great interviews

went to meet the team

had a great time

was down to me and another guy

then somebody I had never even met decided to go with the other guy because of the school he had graduated from

I was angry as well

and I believed I was better suited for the job with my experience

but you get over it

not everything is sexism

[calm hare]

right but it does exist, and that’s the point I’m making

it’s been completely irrelevantly used in articles but it exists, and that’s the problem we should solve

[marble cloud]

I'm sorry but you can't "solve sexism"

[fossil gulch]

I mean we can

It is a fixable problem

Looking at trends in the 70’s to now, we can see that the treatment of women has greatly improved but it’s not done yet. We can’t just go « lmao we can’t solve it » or try to pretend it’s good enough

To a way earlier point about « women not wanting to do certain jobs », we also have to look at why there are so few women that don’t want to do them. The vast majority of the time it’s cause they’ve been banned from doing Them for a long time or are just a hella toxic industry

[pseudo gull]

you can

better education would be a huge step in solving it

i like exposed

naked you mean

i do love a good naked bike tbh

[cyan wind]

same thing

probs gonna get a naked as a first bike

either honda cb125r or yamaha mt125

[pseudo gull]

the cheap hondas are shit. don’t get a cb125r

my advice is go for a husqvarna svartpilen 125

they’re the best 125 you can get

[cyan wind]

they're not cheap lol

like 4-5 grand brand new

but i'll look at that husky

[pseudo gull]

then don’t get a new one

most second hand will have few miles and be more in the mid threes

[cyan wind]

not saying i would i'm saying that as a whole it's not a cheap shit bike

[pseudo gull]

people will buy them, ride them for two years and sell to upsize

you don’t want to learn on a shitty bike tbh

just gives you a bad impression of bikes in general

[cyan wind]

i mean that is kinda how it goes lol

[pseudo gull]

i know, it’s exactly what i did

[cyan wind]

people will move to bigger bikes

[pseudo gull]

yeah i know lol

[cyan wind]

ye

i haven't actually seen that husky come up in talks of good starter bikes

appreciate the recommendation, has a nice seat height too

[pseudo gull]

good seat height, nicely loaded, it feels like a bigger bike than it is

[cyan wind]

really fucking pretty too

[pseudo gull]

it’s not like other small versions of regular bikes if that makes sense

yeah i love the looks

[cyan wind]

not sure how those tyres would be on normal roads

[pseudo gull]

they’re fine tbh

they’re scrambler tyres not proper off road ones

[cyan wind]

ah they're like a mix?

[pseudo gull]

yeah

[cyan wind]

ah nice

[pseudo gull]

shame they don’t make a 125 vitipilen

basically a svart with clips ons and road tyres

[cyan wind]

for sure

do they do bigger versions of it?

[pseudo gull]

yep

[cyan wind]

even better

[pseudo gull]

they do a 401 and 701

they’re just ktms underneath

so the 401 is just ktm’s 373 single

[cyan wind]

the slim seat looks to be abit uncomfortable for taller ppl

could be wrong though

[pseudo gull]

yeah that’s one problem i found

only on longer rides though

[cyan wind]

i'm guessing you've ridden one?

[pseudo gull]

yeah i had one for a bit lol

[cyan wind]

ah nice

what did you think?

[pseudo gull]

i loved it

only problems were the seat on longer rides and the speed, but the speed is just a 125 thing

everything else was great

nicely equipped, taught on and off road riding

great package all in all

[cyan wind]

what my old man said too, 125's leave you wanting more

power wise

[pseudo gull]

yeah they do that

only like 15 horsepower maximum

[cyan wind]

what bike do you have nowadays?

[pseudo gull]

i have an a2 street triple being delivered to my nearby dealership soon

i’m really excited for it lmao

[cyan wind]

oh damn they're pretty

[pseudo gull]

and i can just get the restrictor removed when i have my full license too

so it’s perfect

[cyan wind]

yeah that'll save alot of money lol

[pseudo gull]

yeah exactly

love the looks, i’ve always loved triumphs

plus, that engine is amazing

[cyan wind]

i thought about that but idk what the rules are over in engerland

yeah triumphs do something great

[pseudo gull]

if you mean the restrictor kit, it’s a triumph kit so it all gets installed by then and everything

i think it’s a great way of doing things

[cyan wind]

oh got you

makes alot more sense

[pseudo gull]

that way i get used to the bike before using the full performance

[cyan wind]

than using a bike for 2 years, selling then having to redo all of that insurance shit

for sure

[pseudo gull]

yeah exactly

[cyan wind]

i'll have to dig a little more into restrictor kits and what the laws are

[pseudo gull]

yeah have a little look around

to my knowledge triumph is the only brand to do it themselves

[cyan wind]

yeah

i imagine it's something either to try and install yourself or get a mech to do it

[pseudo gull]

my mechanical skills are pretty limited so i just bought one already restricted

[cyan wind]

but idk i'll have to dig

[pseudo gull]

yeah have a look around

[cyan wind]

for sure lele

i've only ever worked with bicycles so i can imagine there's quite a large difference

[pseudo gull]

unless you’re absolutely set on a bike it’s probably worth just getting a different bike for the couple of years

restrictor kits can be a little iffy i’d assume

if you do go that route, go for a proper one, not some cheap ebay one

[cyan wind]

most definitely

[cyan wind]

i was honestly really set on the bigger yamaha MT's

[pseudo gull]

MTs are great bikes tbh, some of the best nakeds for sale

i’d personally go r6 because i’ve heard brilliant things and the short experience i’ve had with one was amazing

but yeah the mt07, mt09 and mt10 are all brilliant

what isn't believable?

Okay, maybe "profitable" isn't the right word.

Obviously, if you tell everyone to pay twenty-five dollars for a chance to win a fast car, you'll have a lot of people coming.

Finally got to see one of these in person, waiting to receive mine soon

This is the "n line" we have over here.
Damn Indian taxation policy. 😩

[sinful igloo]

Comes in auto though?

6 speed manual

And a 120 buff ponies

[sinful igloo]

200 in our variant

We do not get the n line over here though

[astral tartan]

Still that looks menacing

[astral tartan]

So how will you get yours?

Or like when is it coming

i wish id got my 120n tbh

was between financing one and buying the bike, went for the bike because i shouldnt really be financing a car at uni

[void pilot]

yea fair enough even im going with that

was really looking forward to getting a yamaha r3 but unfortunately they dont sell it here so im looking at either a ktm rc390 or a royal enfield continental gt

ninja 400 is also an option but its overpriced and maintenance sucks

[jagged crater]

I don't think they sell the R3 as a street bike anymore... Wait I'm thinking of the R6

[void pilot]

yea the r3 is still being sold globally

i think they revamped the r3 in 2020 or 2021 and theyre still selling that

unfortunately they didnt bring this version of the r3 here

[pseudo gull]

r6 was discontinued for street use

they still sell a race bike one though iirc

[void pilot]

im too broke to afford the race bike 😂

[jagged crater]

Gimmie that new R25M
