I will join you guys... Just answer me pls

/bikelinesaustralia brahs, want to post up / pm me rough costs for picking up and starting down the road of motorbikes? E.g. rego, insurance, gear, maintenance? Getting keen again. Have researched a bit but always good to here more accounts & opinions.

Thinking of standard learner bikes like ninja 250, VTR250, or gs500f... not the fastest I think, but still cool and good resale?

I should probably save my money... But live it up while I'm young and get one anyway? XD

Even if I go through with it - couldn't afford a Ninja 300... would love one though :'(

Yea just get a ninja 250 or something like that to learn on for a year wont loose much money, rego is like 400 bucks for a 250 and insurance just get third party which is probably like $150.

Gear wise you'll need helmet $300-500 (mine was like 480, could spend upto 1k if you want, depends what fits and feels good), kevlar jeans like $200, jacket is $4-500, gloves $50-130 and I'd recommend getting some boots when you can afford them say $200-250 for normal ones. TBH gear really depends on what you want to spend, but personally i'd set aside 1-1.5k for gear.

Pretty much summing up what I thought the costs would be like! Looking pretty positive so far :D

And hoping can get one with decent amount of rego so I can avoid paying that even / getting absorbed in bike budget.

With insurance, is there a difference between third party, and theft? Noticed insuremyride separates the two...?

Did you buy your gear online?

Ninja 250 tempting. OR do I go oldschool boyracer (boyrider) and gamble with a CBR250RR (not thrashed at all )xD

3rd party, you hit someone else your insurance company will pay for their damages but not yours. Theft, your vehicle is stolen, they'll pay you out for agreed or market value depending on your contract.

guys, me need your help with a school research project, its on energy saving and stupid shit like that.

would appreciate if you guys would fill out this survey, i need about 10-20 respondents.

Alvin, you seem to have skipped inputting multiple answers for one of the questions....

What temperatures is the air conditioning set for normally?

    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch 
    • re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
    • Ok now I’m extremely jealous
