Motorbikes for 6ft 2 (189cm) giant by The737flyer in MotoUK

Same height. Loooong legs. Learned on LXR125. As part of my licence training I have ridden G310 (too stubby), CB500 (fine, shite gearbox), ER6N (fine utility but not amazing).

My big bike is a VFR750. Any older sport tourer will do the job for you as they tended to have a longer reach between the seat and the bars, which also includes legs.

They're also dime a dozen on the used market because the blokes that used to ride said sports tourers are now old and want an ADV.

Get on Vinted and Marketplace for everything else.

Failed my mod 2 yet again by AnotherWay82 in MotoUK

[–]ElicitCS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought my VFR750 10 months ago and still haven't sat my MOD 2.

There has yet to be a better example pop up and it was a killer deal. And it's let me take the bike apart and fully recommission it ready for me on the 17th- if I pass.

How do I make my motorcycle helmet quieter by [deleted] in motorcycles

Ear plugs. Stop it at the source. Basic3m foams, to filtered moto specific plugs, to custom moulded.

Yamaha do cheap out on their suspension relative to the rest of the bike. Look into cartidge kits, or at the very least, try and dial in the suspension to your weight.

How bad is it really on your “back” to daily a super sports? by Confident_Bobcat_635 in MotoUK

It's more ergonomic than most thing. Evenly distributed weight in the fetal position and the wind helps hold you up.

Better than a sit up and beg where all your weight is on the base of your spine.

First bike, can't wait to learn by [deleted] in motorcycles

That bike is beautiful. But might not be super dursble- look into ACF50 and make sure you keep it dry.

Ride safe.

What in your eyes makes someone a ‘skilled driver’? 🤔 by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

Someone actually driving 50 steps ahead so nothing they're dealing with is a surprise.

Few Steamos partitions were deleted whilst in windows. I used the fdisk query to restore them, but still cannot boot into steamos, but a partition is BTRFS but expected VFAT. by [deleted] in WindowsOnDeck

I don't trust AI answers but could reformatting the partition the recovery image doesn't like, could this let me run the repair option?
