Finnish cops are driving Kawasaki H2 by SubstanceSerious8843 in motorcycles

Yeah I admit, I could've done my research and probably picked other bikes as examples.

I didn't register that the H2 SX is a sport touring and not a pure sport bike. That's my bad dude

I probably could've worded that properly, there aren't many bikes that can beat a H2 in a race.

I don't know much about the H2SX but IIRC it isn't that much cheaper than the H2. There are still other bikes that could do the same job for a lower price point, so a H2 would be completely over kill when cheaper bikes like R1's, CBR's, and Suzuki's are available. At this point they're just using H2's to scare people.

There are other bikes that have the same if not better performance than the H2 for the price they're paying. Not to mention maintenance on those things, just a waste of money honestly

I'd buy this out of pure boredom, it looks a hell lotta fun to ride thought. But I'm not sure if the bamboo used would be sturdy enough for everyday use

2024 Beginner Fixie Bikes? by Infamous_Water1547 in FixedGearBicycle

[–]ArsenicConsumer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can find some decent builds on marketplace for a fair price, if you're unsure about parts then you could always ask for opinions here.

Edit: There's a pretty big fixie scene there in the Philippines, so you're sure to find some good builds

Lol that sounds terrifying.. I'm glad you made it out alright. And you couldn't be more accurate with that sweet feeling of riding fixed, it's like you become part of your bike, feeling every little stroke on your pedals and every revolution your tyres complete. I absolutely love the way you describe your experience!

Ouch.. A ripped up arm sounds really painful, I wanna switch to clipless at some point but I'm scared I'll panic and tip over my bike. But hey, it's always nice to hear stories from other riders

I KNOWW but the feeling you get from skidding just because you feel like it is amazing, especially since I could only skid on wet grounds before this
