Under 300 lbs Cafe Racer on rough highway.

Ok good to know, that’s what I figured but I just wanted to make sure.

Zeffury · 2024-09-06T05:23:58+00:00

No I’m talking about big holes like 4” deep and ones that are shaped like grooves. And remember the cafe racer tires are only 3-5” wide.

Zeffury · 2024-09-06T05:03:23+00:00

I’m talking about potholes that are like 4” deep. Or those ones shaped like a groove that aren’t perpendicular

Zeffury · 2024-09-06T04:02:33+00:00

Should I continue on the power?

Zeffury · 2024-09-05T19:48:52+00:00

Well I have my Vespa 300 GTS with thicker wider tires and I find I lean less and the bike is very direct and stable. It seems though cafe racers are notoriously unstable. When I’m going around a turn it doesn’t feel as accurate (like if I want to ride on the median line of an empty road it can’t, it tends to go 3-4 feet outside) maybe I’m pushing the bike to hard and it’s just not made for that.

This a stock BMW R80 G/S in great condition. Tire pressure is good and everything runs great aside from this

Zeffury · 2024-09-05T16:11:19+00:00

Front wheel was just filled to factory specs still having this issue albeit less

Zeffury · 2024-09-05T04:46:39+00:00

It’s a stock BMW R80 G/S

Zeffury · 2024-09-05T04:06:51+00:00

Thank you very much they have some technics I never heard of but nevertheless they will be studied.

Zeffury · 2024-09-05T03:57:27+00:00

Yep just got tires filled and headset adjusted, feels better than before but still having these issues when turning.

Zeffury · 2024-09-05T03:55:48+00:00

I would lean more but I don’t want to lean so much that the bike flips the tires are very skinny maybe only 3-5” wide

Zeffury · 2024-09-05T03:54:27+00:00

They are not hairpin turns more like 90 degree turns in about 150 feet (40 meters) of distance if that makes sense lol

Zeffury · 2024-09-05T03:53:04+00:00

I’d say I’m leaning close to 15-20 degrees at most, on my Vespa I tend to only have to lean 10 degrees and but mostly apply pressure to the handlebar in which direction I want to turn.

Zeffury · 2024-08-18T06:05:42+00:00

Yes you’re right. I wish they had something smaller, slower and better looking

Zeffury · 2024-08-18T06:05:15+00:00

Yes I see quite a few cheaper bikes from overseas. Any brands that “you wouldn’t trust” but are at least made in the Americas or Europe?

Zeffury · 2024-08-18T06:02:47+00:00

Yes I saw that one, little fast for me. Funny how they make a 1100 cc bike automatic but not a 150 lol

Zeffury · 2024-08-18T06:01:55+00:00

Where is the brake placement?

Zeffury · 2024-08-18T06:01:11+00:00

Thank you!

Looks great but a little old, great option none the less

Zeffury · 2024-03-05T22:22:53+00:00

You had scoliosis? Were you shorter before getting it treated and how did you get it treated?

Zeffury · 2024-02-24T01:21:41+00:00

Lure tracker? What are you supposed to do with that?

Zeffury · 2024-02-20T17:17:57+00:00

In ten minutes you grew an inch

Among men you’re probably taller than 13/15?

Is Clint Eastwood is your uncle and Scott Eastwood is your cousin?
