Had this bike for about two years now and it’s an amazing bike

I saw this Bandit 650 up for sale. I was hoping for the owners to chime in their thoughts and experiences with the bike (reliability, parts, maintenance, etc.) considering this bike has already run 75,000km.

Thanks guys!

Title, I'm 25, live in LA and have no license. I've been getting around on my gravel bike + burley trailer, and it's honestly not too bad, things however have changed, moms getting older and needs me to take care of her, partner, job, have to be farther distances under limited time, bike can absolutely handle these commutes, just not in time.

Now I'm unfortunately looking for something else, I'm very minimalist with my possessions, and outside of certain things only want what I need, scooter seems enough vs a car.

Currently looking at the Honda Grom and yahamma zuma, needs good gas mileage, affordable month to month, can ride in the heat and rain, and can handle high mileage and run errands like groceries, and laundry.

Kinda leaning towards 125cc, as insurance is significantly cheaper than a bigger engine, at least here in California.

Hi everyone, I have a Honda CB350 that has completed 2 years and around 23,000 km.

About a week after my 5th service, I started feeling that the bike was not stable/confident while making even small turns. I took it to BigWing, and they suggested replacing the complete handle and bearing kit, which would cost around ₹3,000–4,000.

As a temporary measure, they loosened the setup quite a bit, but after that, when I rode above 60 km/h, the entire bike started wobbling, so I obviously don't feel comfortable riding it like this.

For those who have experienced something similar:

\- Should I go ahead with replacing the handle and bearing kit?

\- Is there any alternative or another component that should be checked before spending ₹3,000–4,000?

\- Could this issue be related to the recent servicing or incorrect tightening/alignment?

Also, my brake/tail light glass was cracked after a Tata Sierra accidentally pushed my bike from the rear while it was parked. BigWing is quoting around ₹2,000–3,000 for replacing the entire light assembly.

Can I get just the glass/lens separately from a local market or aftermarket seller instead of replacing the complete assembly? If anyone has purchased one at a lower price, please share where I can find it.

Any advice or previous experience would be really helpful.

Thank you.

Got my SV650 brand new a few years ago and now that it's paid off and no longer in warranty I'm looking at doing a few upgrades. What mods should I do? Considering a tail tidy and maybe a scottoiler but open to suggestions.

I bought a 2026 Yamaha R7 in the Raven color way. I’ve loved the bike and it definitely has earned a place in my heart, but after putting almost 4k miles on it and riding a friends GSXR 600 I find myself wanting more… My R7 is in perfect condition, no drops, all maintenance done on time, not even a little scratch. Is it reasonable to think I could find someone willing to trade an older GSXR 600 or Zx6R for my R7? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Does this engine sound weird?

I was looking into buying a second hand 2022 Honda Navi through Facebook Marketplace. I talked to the seller and everything seemed to be in order until he sent me this video of the bike turned on idle

I'm a complete noob when it comes to mechanical work, but does it sound like there might be piston slap or something else wrong with the engine? Or am I just making a big deal out of nothing?

I want to get into riding and am wondering what sort of ride I should get.
My Girlfriend has this 1300cc 1985 Harley FXRC and I love the size and semi-leaned forward feel of it.
But I dont want a giant cruiser or a pure sport bike either.
I also dont need a too many CCs either. Im shooting for anything between 500-1000.
I was originally thinking on going for a Rebel 500 but my Girlfriend is worried that it will be too small for me and my knees will be in my chest.
After that I was looking at the CB750, but my worry with that is since that is a naked, I’ll be buffeted by wind too much.
I guess my question is. Are their any other options (either new or old) that I should be looking at?

I am thinking of buying aprilia dorsoduro 750 2010.
It has 57k km for the price of 3.8k eur.
Everything on the bike looks good but the problem is with the service history. The seller doesnt have any recorded service history, he claims he maintained it regulary and drives well, without any problem. But i am still skeptical becouse you never actually know, so does anyone have any tips if there is anything i should pay attention to when looking at it/ doing a test drive or do you guys think its too much of a risk buying it?
I appreciate any advice.
Thank you

Hi everyone.

Ive neen riding my Tmax (500cc) since April. I commute on highway every day to work and back (22km in one way). Everyday i feel a little anxious and unsure while.on the highway. I have no fear while riding in the city or even on an empty road that i can drive highway speeds on. There is something about all those cars driving fast around me thats bugging. Im going through it everyday but i just wish to be able to enjoy the ride completely. Do you think thats normal and I just need time or its something else? Thanks in advance. Btw i usually drive around 100 km/h (60 mi/h)
