I had something similar to pic related at one point, built from a 1976 R90/6.

get a real motorcycle. i've noticed the little ones have gottwn popular with hipsters who actually ride around in crews going to different cafes and bars, etc. They all look like fairy fuccbois and they make me wanna throw a metal bar through their spokes. if i were to ever get a motorcycle, it could only ever be a harley

Fuck you are an awful poster, and loose that name.

How's that mid-life crisis going, dad?

>>6369802
Nice ride! I don't have the money to do a quality BMW like that now so I'll probably be going with a cheap Honda. Most likely a cb450.

>>6369828
Cool vid, thanks.

>>6369845
It's of my opinion that retro builds like these put out the most refined/sophisticated image of any bike and that's what I'm going for. Trying to class up my style a bit. Harley's have too much of an asshole image and sportbikes are too "I'm 18 and want to fuck bitches" unless we're talking about Ducati/MV Agusta/Aprilia etc.

Besides, riding around with a group of friends from place to place sounds like an excellent time.

I really like this aesthetic, there's something about the design and construction that makes it seem more technologically genuine than contemporary stuff

especially on cars it seems to me that as computer modelling got better and it became practical to incorporate more curves, cars seem to look like fisher price toys and don't have the sharp, clean lines or practical styling they used to

>>6369915
ew

The manlier bike ever

>>6369914
those curves are for aerodynamics and fuel efficiency you retard

>>6369919
my pep has the same model and color and it's a thing of beauty
keep on running ur gabber m8 I swear I'll cut it

>>6369927

yeah but they still look fucking stupid and there's lots of aerodynamic stuff that doesn't look like ass

checkmate atheists

dont forget to get a chinstrap foeryour fedora so it doesnt blow away when youre on your bike

Love the bikes so far but what about some apparel? Links to purchase said apparel would be great too.

Specifically I'm looking to get some quality boots. Thinking Red Wing moc toe currently

these threads never have broughs
its like you guys dont even care about fashion

Shitpost general.

>>6369993
nope, its just you, sorry you feel that way, carry on

>>6369991

>>6370001

I ride a motorcycle. I've been saving up for a Schott Perfecto jacket. I have multiple pairs of boots and I just wear whatever.

Have fun scraping your cylinder heads on the pavement every time you try to corner.

>>6370247
First, those are valve covers; second, you'll almost never scrape them

>>6370013
It's like he stepped straight out of Hackers.

>>6370247
you're retarded, not everyone turns like you see in races
have you ever actually been outside and saw someone riding their bike around town?

>>6370270
I ride and I scrape my footpegs on the ground quite a bit. Granted, it's when Im cornering hard, but it happens. And they don't stick out nearly as far.

What model is this? I don't think I've ever seen that kind of headlight placement in a fairing. That's like, robot stuff.

BMW R 100/7 its a cafe racer.

Anyone know of any good blogs/websites dedicated to motorcycle fashion?

>>6370350
I fucking love it

>>6370333
We need more non-cafe racer retro bikes, so that you can actually ride it for a few hours.

Triumph bonneville and the black shadow are good exampes of proper retro bikes

Perfect gothninja bike for a girl.

This would be fantastic with a black tank.

Other than the Triumph Bonneville, Harley-Davidson builds the most beautiful two-wheeled machines in the world.

But that's about it. Harley-Davidson also builds the most outdated, unreliable pieces of junk you'll see outside of some shitty Indian factory.

People who buy Harleys generally buy into the brand, not the motorcycle itself. I really want a Harley just to look cool, but no. The downsides are really just not worth it.

The best cruisers on the market right now are built by Victory. They're a lot better than Harleys and cheaper too, but there's something with them that just seems "off" and vulgar about the design. Not that it matters because I can't afford to buy one anyway.

>>6372212
Oh and I forgot. If you want a cruiser that:
* Looks good
* IS good
* Is cheaper than a Harley
* Isn't Japanese shit

Triumph has some cruisers as well, from the entry level America to the more expensive Thunderbird (as well as the ugly cousin Rocket III - look it up and vomit).

>>6370055
Don't get a Perfecto, they're outdated and overused. For maximum /fa/, get one of their café racer jackets and a Triumph Bonneville.

Ural Gear Up.

As long as it's not in autist "I'm playing dress up as an army man" olive drab.

I'm looking at you >>6370333

I was planning on getting this.
Call me a faggot all you want.

>>6372299
It looks good, faggot. I rode one of those bikes, you faggot, and I thought it handled pretty well. You are pretty much a faggot for wanting a good bike. What's the price they're asking for, faggot?

>>6372334
1800 buckaroos

>>6372356
Wow, that's a pretty good price.

>>6372227
>Triumphs
>2013
>carburetors

Also, if you buy a Ural or a Chang Jiang or whatever the fuck commie knockoff of a century-old BMW, you deserve all the horrible things that will happen to it instantaneously.

>>6372501
I'd consider buying something other than a Ural, but I must have a sidecar. What other options are there?

>>6372779

same here also considereing getting a Ural, Dnepr, Chang Jiang because they are cheap!

but i realy like those too

>cheap
I wish. Those things cost upwards of 12k. The Gear Up, that I want, would run me about 17k after sales taxes (tfw canadian). That's the only reason I'm not out riding one right now.

>>6375929
he's talking about the bike you mug

vincent black shadow outta fucking nowhere

>>6369881
dude cb 450 are nice i have one and it can get more that 116mph and it's easy to work with if your not a pussy

>>6375929
>>6376840
No I'm talking about the license
Cost me about €1300,- to get, I'm Dutch and we need to do a theoretical exam and two practical exams. Which already cost about €500,- or €600,- together. The other €600.- or €700,- is for lessons, gear and usage of the motorcycle.

OP just buy a ducati and sip latte's.

>>6369785
OP check out Roland Sands Designs, he makes some really nice cafe inspired jackets. Also Maple Jeans make raw selvedge denim riding jeans with kevlar built in that dont look atrocious

>>6379112
Licensing in the EU is fucking nuts.

I'm glad I'm getting mine for free.

My dad made this out of an old Honda 4 stroke (i'm not fluent with the lingo) and got inspiration for the color from a Chanel commercial maybe, with a woman on a motorcycle going through paris and wearing a one piece suit of the same color.
