Saw some of the new electric #Kawasaki bikes at the local Japanese #motorcycle dealer. 👀 https://diatom.social/url/2710

Never buy a street bike on Amazon or AliExpress. #motorcycle

Kind of funny how "Indian" is an American brand, but the actual big brand from India that sells in the US is Royal Enfield. 🤔 #motorcycle

Swappable traction batteries are far more practical for motorcycles than cars because of how exposed the power components typically are in the former (outside of sportbikes). #motorcycle #EV #BEV

"Can a Flat-Tread Motorcycle Turn? How Motorbikes Steer" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSZiKrtJ7Y0

"If you ride, your brain knows how motorcycles work intuitively, but we bet you'll struggle to explain it accurately. We're trading opinions for science in a pursuit to understand how motorcycles really steer."

These dynamics also apply to #bicycle riding, obviously. #motorcycle #cycling

I feel like learning how to ride a #motorcycle made me a much better and more confident #bicycle rider. :3

Despite what big bagger riders say, I still think motorcycles should be light, nimble, and physically engaging. #motorcycle

I wonder if the proliferation of e-bikes and the increasing cost of gasoline will encourage more folks to try out #motorcycles or at least motorscooters (electric or otherwise in either case). #motorcycle

Sat on this CBR650R while I was at the dealer for other business and found the ergonomics to my liking. :) #motorcycle

(The bike was already sold to someone else, but the shop guys trusted me and said I could take a quick seat on it.) https://diatom.social/url/2454

In a minor quandary here. I want lower clip-ons/handlebars on my Ninja 1000SX so I can engage my core more (the pegs are don't need to be moved), but the shop I talked to said that there aren't many options for doing so because the bars can't be lowered much before hitting the bike's gas tank.

I don't want to trade it for a different one, though, because that would involve a lot of financial mess and I'd have to get new luggage racks so my top and side cases would fit on whatever bike I'd end up with.

I kind of don't like how narrow-angle V-twins look. 90° or bust! #motorcycle https://diatom.social/url/2400

I'd much rather take a #motorcycle through tight turns quickly than a car.

I think part of it might be that I rode my Ninja for the first time in a month and was reminded of how enjoyable #motorcycle riding in good weather is.

Thinking I'll sell my Ninja 1000SX someday and get a ZX-6R with some ergo mods. Liter bikes are too powerful and fast to use a fun amount of their abilities on the street, and the lighter ZX-6R will be more flickable. #motorcycle

You know you're an experienced #motorcycle rider when riding superbikes on the road loses its luster. After all, "riding a slow bike fast is more fun than riding a fast bike slow."

What's a good classic street bike with a two-stroke engine? Looking in the sense of one that is easy to work on, find information to do said work, and find parts for, but is also a lot of fun to ride. Modding is definitely welcome. :) #motorcycle

Installed a nice METAL skid plate onto my #Honda CRF450RL. This one even has a hole for the drain plug! 👍 #motorcycle #dualsport #dirtbike https://diatom.social/url/2207

Finally got the Barkbuster hand guards back on my #Triumph. It took me so long to get to it because it involves drilling and slotting the plugs the hand guards mount to. (The stock bars have threaded inserts welded into their ends that the hand guards previously mounted to, but these aftermarket bars don't have those.) #motorcycle

Glad I'm finally comfortable with using the cutting wheel of my #Dremel at full speed. It didn't take very long at all to do the slotting through the aluminum plugs!

(Extra mirrors to be removed when I get time.) https://diatom.social/url/2204
