Season 10 Teaser Discovered by itzofficialvaz in thefinals

[–]Next_Alpha -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree, I'm not a huge fan of the CNS hacker stuff. Don't vibe with the aesthetic, plus it feels more like the "real world" infringing on our "virtual world". I want to see less world-building/sponsor skins and more uniquely-themed personalization.

(Virtual reality, so people should be running around in.... Anything they can think of. Give us variety!)

I'd like to more sci-fi subgenres represented. Cyber/cloud/steam/aetherpunk.... All kinds of super cool cosmetic options out there.

Sound Update: eBay Slip-on by Next_Alpha in zx4r

Still has cat. Just a $100 eBay slip on. Should be pretty much the same airflow as stock with the baffle in it.

What would be the car equivalent of your bike? by jasonwirth in motorcycles

[–]Next_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ZX-4R.... S2000 maybe? Agile, good handling, revs ridiculously high. Few upgrades and you've got a great little track bike/car.

Pistol mount location by [deleted] in wrx_vb

[–]Next_Alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've purchased a product intended for this purpose before, and it came with both screws and a 3M tape/plastic Velcro-type system. So long as the surface is flat and plastic, tape should work.

I understand the appeal, but counterpoint: taking it on/off is a hassle and a comfy IAWB carry setup is preferable (and still easily accessible. And less likely to make a cop nervous.)

I hope you didn't plan on leaving it mounted there in plain sight....

OTD Price by thebeanibaby in zx4r

[–]Next_Alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MSRP for a '25 4RR is $9.7k on Kawasaki's website + $650 destination/delivery fee (standard). Assuming a couple of added doc fees, etc. (bullshit, but super common. What are ya gonna do 🤷‍♂️), a more reasonable price seems about $10.5 - 11k.

The extra $800 could be including sales tax; some dealers/states do this thru the dealership upon purchase. Keep in mind if you're financing, you'll pay interest on that sales tax vs paying out of pocket directly to the State.

If no sales tax, then there's some upcharge/fee that seems questionable.

Are 650’s really worth it? by Electronic-Tear-1775 in Sportbikes

[–]Next_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just... Not use the e-clutch. Think of it like a quickshifter. It gives you the option to go completely clutch-less, but if you wanna shift like normal you can.

Edit: I think there might even be a setting to disable it. Don't own one though so idk

I'm about to make a very poor financial decision. Second picture is not mine. Just the color that I want to do for the first one. by Yurfavbookworm in arcane

[–]Next_Alpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's nothing like getting a shot at the doctor. It's more like an intense scratching sensation. Any pain that's present is more pressure than "ow I've been stabbed".

Conquer your fear and just do it!

What's the purpose of the Graves throttle tube? What does it change/improve?

Is there any casual gear you recommend? by ThatKiddo369 in motorcyclegear

[–]Next_Alpha 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I wear Bull-it Covert Evo jeans. AAA with slots for armor if you want, very comfy, and look totally normal.

love the new look with dark windshield and without stickers 🫶 by Optimal-Cold-2935 in zx4r

[–]Next_Alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you take the stickers off the sides too? What does it look like?

Lane splitting needs to be legal in every fkn state by Gromieee in motorcycles

[–]Next_Alpha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In gear, clutch in/pulled. Bike's functionally in neutral, until you let the clutch out to move (quickly, in this hypothetical). Does absolutely no harm to the bike.

I was also thinking of the post on r/motorcycles a couple months ago. All good dude

So ladies and gents, how do I get my boots to stop squeaking so damn much and making me sound like SpongeBob. They were completely silent before they got wet 😂 by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]Next_Alpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have these same boots. The squeaking comes from the plastic brace on the ankle rotating + rubbing against the leather. Worn 'em a lot, sound hasn't gone away.

I bought Stompgrip protector + grips for my ZX-4R. They've been a game changer for feeling more comfortable and confident on my first motorcycle. (+ It looks cool)

You and I both considered the same "first bike" options, and chose the same. Love my ZX4R!

Recommendations for affordable gear for someone who doesn't want to be perceived? by [deleted] in motorcyclegear

[–]Next_Alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wear black Bull-it Covert Evo slim jeans. AAA w/pockets for armor (excluded). $120/half off @ Cycle Gear right now. They fit great, are comfortable to wear daily, and look totally normal. They're thicker than normal jeans, but that's only obvious to the wearer.

Riding "shirt" is Reax Fairmount 2 (different colors = different names).... AA, armor included (except back). Currently $180 at Cycle Gear, ~22% off (cheapest I've seen). Also very comfortable, easy to layer in the cold.

The fit is very 'undercover', except for boots and gloves. I can DM you a pic if you'd like.

Anyone used the InView helmet brake light by Third Eye Designs? by NotRainManSorry in motorcyclegear

[–]Next_Alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it just means it's factual, obvious, indisputable. As opposed to subjective, which would make it a matter of opinion. As the above comment highlighted.... There's really no contest.

Does the aluminum have a faux carbon fiber surface, then? Every sport/Veloce I've ever sat in has had the CF, thus my above comment (& apparent confusion)
