r/Sportbikes

I’ve been looking to get a bike for a while now grew up riding and always wanted to get a sport bike. I’m currently still in highschool but I have a job that brings in around 3k roughly a month. Do I take out a loan to purchase a bike. It wouldn’t be much like a 5 or 6k bike. I’ve been looking at 600cc in not really interested in getting a 300. Im open to all advice and criticism. Yamahas, cbrs are nice too. I like the zx6rs as well idk about a gixxer though

So for context there’s a listing on my fb marketplace for a 2012 r6 going for roughly under 2k and it’s only got 4,998 miles as shown on the listing pictures of the bike. I immediately message the dude because I think this is an absolute steal but the more and more I think about it. It feels sketchy and like a too good to be true situation. The pictures are iffy quality and I also asked for the vin dude didn’t wanna share it because he doesn’t want everybody on the app knowing the vin of the bike I guess. The title does seem to be right the first four letters on the title match up and the title looks clean. But I don’t know I’m just having second thoughts and a little worried that it’s a scam. I can add pictures of the bike and screenshots of the chat between me and the guy. I also was looking up the bike gen and making sure it was a decent generation and it turns out the 2012 they had the 50th anniversary and this bike has the white/red livery on it not to mention there was only 1500 ever produced of this livery. So now I’m even more skeptical. I could rip my hair out from stressing so bad.

Hello folks. I’m fairly new to the bike world, and am wondering if who is the go to company for aftermarket fairings? I care about quality over price… specifically for a 22 BMW S1000rr. Thanks!

hey all! i’m planning on taking a roadtrip 3000 miles back home. thought if i was driving might as well take my bike with me.

does anyone know any vehicles that it will fit in?? not really looking for a truck. i saw a few posts saying a honda element would work, but wondering if anyone else had any recommendations

thanks in advance!
