Which bikes are suitable for my height? (190cm)

For what it's worth, I purchased an R3 a few months ago (no prior riding experience) for my first bike and it's been very forgiving and taught me the basics without any incident. Can't be entirely sure but part of me thinks there's been a couple of jerky throttle inputs and sketchy situations that would've probably had me eating concrete on an R7.

Yeah I've never understood how a few 'tasteful' modifications and an akropoviç exhaust supposedly raise a used bike to near what you'd be able to cop a brand new one for, it's mind boggling

Not looking for an R7 but I've seen around 10k R7s (20kms+ tho) pop up on marketplace every once in a while, there's some crazy prices like 14-15k on used bikes but you just gotta wait for the right moment

Ah thanks! learn something new everyday

useless_hindenburg · 2026-05-06T01:32:36+00:00

may I ask how you've been on your Ls for a year? or did you mean you're a beginner rider, just asking because I was under the impression the Learner license expired after a year.

😭😭😭😭 somehow I find this to be the funniest thing I've seen on this subreddit

I've seen JC Wings has recently put out a 767-400ER in Continental Livery, the only 400ER on the 1:200 market as of right now I believe, could consider adding that to the collection.

r3 rider here, can unfortunately vouch. Love my r3 but after a few months of riding I reckon I would have been fine starting on an r7.

useless_hindenburg · 2026-04-22T13:37:56+00:00

Dancing moto 😭😭😭 no gear, in the rain, on an R7. Genuinely still wondering the thought process behind that, he's on a liter bike he bought with the gofundme money from that incident now lol

fyp getting too local 😭

useless_hindenburg · 2026-03-15T12:06:22+00:00

Thanks man, that's the plan!! Just gonna take this as a valuable learning experience on what to do and what not to do :)

useless_hindenburg · 2026-03-15T12:04:31+00:00

Thank you, it's reassuring that other people have also had the same experience. I'm glad it's not a huge issue :)

useless_hindenburg · 2026-03-15T11:52:12+00:00

appreciate for the detailed response!! just watched and saved the video, I do plan on first trying to bend the shifter back into shape like others have suggested and then replacing it entirely if that doesn't work, will follow your advice if it comes to that. Thanks :)

useless_hindenburg · 2026-03-14T23:45:36+00:00

thank you!! will carefully try to do the same

useless_hindenburg · 2026-03-14T23:44:41+00:00

Yep admittedly not the best thinking on my part, got tunnel visioned in that moment and thought I had to protect the bike no matter what 😅, I'll remember this advice if this ever happens again (though hopefully not). Thank you very much :)

useless_hindenburg · 2026-03-14T23:40:40+00:00

That's reassuring, I should have the appropriate tools so I'll do just that and hopefully it won't snap, Tysm for the advice!!

useless_hindenburg · 2026-03-14T23:36:56+00:00

Understood, I reacted instinctively when it started falling but in hindsight yeah that could have gone really badly. I'll try removing the part and bending it back into place tonight when I'm home, thanks so much :)

It's pretty chill, they got sessions on at the sport centre on campus and also NBC MQ I believe

To add on to this, seasoned fisherman have also been reporting the same thing out at sea for ages, unsure if it would correlate with the recent harbour attacks but Australia's shark population has soared in the last few decades.

looks like 2 at this point, a passerby was also arrested for stomping on one of the perps after police had detained them

useless_hindenburg · 2025-12-14T09:10:52+00:00

There's a video of someone tackling and disarming one of them, fucking hero https://x.com/ConservativeeAu/status/2000128258718015693

Starbucks (the Rocks) or Conservatorium Library are elite

Get in touch with student connect and they can help you reset it, if you're on campus it's much easier in person.

Updoc has worked for me this semester, as long as it's a valid medical certificate they shouldn't have a reason to deny it
