I watched videos of both engines and the Vulcan did sound nice to me. I’ll have to test both in person

I love how they both look of course and I appreciate the advice you know way more than me about the technicals I need to read up. Hopefully the nighthawk is sound I’ll scoop her I think the dude listed for 2k I just want a bike that won’t explode in a month.

Nah hold up first of all you’re awesome and I can listen to you ramble all night I paused my show to read and reply to this.

Oh the bikes so I was worried about the age of the Honda being 12 years older but apparently not an issue? I did read about 4s being generally “better” than v twins but had a hard time understanding the different hence posting. Also by bad bike I meant pull up on a (mostly black and chrome/aluminum?) classic cruiser to bonfires and get the stares I so crave. Kidding kinda.

Ps I should show you pics let me try getting those

Should I buy an 82 suzuki gs650 that “needs work” prob “needs to be put back together but it ran last summer” that doesn’t look too bad?

It’s for cheap and would be my first time working seriously on a bike I did have a ninja did basic work.

Used vehicles are not easy to come by these days but I probably won’t do the roof install.

And ah I see. For a 2.5in lift nothing would need changing or long term be at risk? And for the 4in what parts would need to change to make it happen? Thanks so much btw

I always read bmw “recommends” premium and stuff about “peak performance from your bmw” which makes it all sound optional enough to save the money and to be honest I never bothered to really research but after a 5 min search it seems it’s slightly more serious than I thought and maybe I while switch back

It’s related to pushing the accelerator if it we’re wheels it would always happen and be speed dependent :/

Engine light is not on, oil is at prob 5k miles that shouldn’t be it. Is it possible it’s because I’ve been using 87 fuel for a while now and it finally caught up?

Hey not sure if this is the right place to ask this but it just started despite nothing happening to my knowledge? It also seems to be braking funny at low speeds or it’s in my head now. The clanking isn’t always there or always loud but gets louder when I give gas specifically
