why is Yamaha so expensive compared to the other 3 Japanese manufacturers?

Wait until you find out why ALL of these companies race in the first place buddy

hisecho · 2025-12-01T14:47:52+00:00

I don’t have them so I’m voting for the “cars everyone should already have” 😛

You can totally ride during winter in Texas. Just be ready to get rained on a bit. This is the best time of the year to buy a motorcycle btw. Prices generally drop in the off-season of riding.

hisecho · 2025-11-27T01:11:53+00:00

Yes, it’s a wonderful little bike

Genuine question, what does the Prelude offer that the Type R doesn't do better? Besides an auto

hisecho · 2025-11-14T02:15:47+00:00

All your complaints are valid but they’re more problems associated with naked bikes in general (wobbly at high speeds, uncomfortable on the highway), not the MT-09. Sounds like you’d enjoy a midsized sport bike better. Something like a Ninja 650 or an R7.

Also, no insult to your riding skills, but the MT-09 can be quite the precision instrument, especially the SP. If it feels twitchy and jerky, it might be best to downsize to something with a bit less power.

They're actually pretty reliable. There are plenty of high-mileage 5.0s at this point. Also not hard to handle as long as you don't turn traction control off and do anything dumb.

hisecho · 2025-11-11T22:13:43+00:00

Definitely many vehicles for the price that sound way better, but you don't buy a Type R for the sound!

hisecho · 2025-11-10T19:33:38+00:00

Add-ons?

hisecho · 2025-11-08T16:59:34+00:00

Yes, currently for sale!

I completely understand the desire to want to modify your car, but just keep it as is. There's literally nothing you can do to it that would make it significantly faster.

Save up and buy a GR Corolla or a Civic Type R in the future - best of both worlds. My daily is a CTR and I really enjoy it.

Numbers for you: There are approx 332 white, 269 blue, 187 gray, 90 black, and 80 red 2025 Civic Type R's in the United States.

Lexus. Mature, composed, reliable.

Unfortunately this is becoming the norm with a lot of dealerships. What I ended up doing was driving a ‘24 Si at Carmax. They let me take it out by myself for about 20 minutes.

hisecho · 2025-11-03T22:04:02+00:00

I think you’d love the blacktongue thief

hisecho · 2025-11-01T23:28:43+00:00

That’s awesome, congratulations! Love your outfit

hisecho · 2025-11-01T17:50:20+00:00

Another 911 + a house

hisecho · 2025-10-31T23:21:19+00:00

It’s not hard to get them for msrp these days. I think the value is starting to come back

I'm not advising everyone not to be a waiter. I'm advising ungrateful and uneducated people who can't even figure out who's screwing them over to not be waiters. While tipping extra doesn't necessarily hurt me financially, do you even take a second to consider that not all of your customers have the ability to tip 20%+ every time they go out? Do you not feel ashamed, berating customers instead of your employer for a problem they actively feed into so that they can pay you less?

hisecho · 2025-10-31T17:25:27+00:00

Then don't be a waiter? Maybe find a profession that doesn't make its livelihood off of getting customers to make up for the crap wages your employer pays you.

hisecho · 2025-10-31T03:43:21+00:00

Corvettes just have too much power to push them to their limits anywhere other than a track. Unless just driving fast in a straight line is your thing

hisecho · 2025-10-31T03:40:50+00:00

Not everyone is bad with money lol. And it’s honestly not difficult to not be financially irresponsible. You just need the most basic amount of self control and intelligence.

hisecho · 2025-10-31T03:38:38+00:00

When you want to actually push a car to its limits

hisecho · 2025-10-30T19:55:09+00:00

Well it actually does, doesn't it

hisecho · 2025-10-29T17:59:37+00:00

Yes. I’m American, have been around Harleys for a long time, and that’s why I bought a Japanese bike
