As a broke Lazy Retro Boy, I just wanted to say that my Royal Enfield runs great and my beard and my flannel keep me toasty on those early season Midwest rides. Also I wish I could afford a Triumph but I’ll settle for putting miles on my interceptor.

Most "retro motorcycle riders" have done the sport bike thing, sometimes for decades, and learned a little secret that you too will arrive at some day Yam. It's 99% as fun to ride a slow bike fast (or even slow) as it is to rip around on a liter bike at 10/10. So sooner or later you too will slow down, buy a mellow standard, and enjoy the ride 🙂

My dad is a panigale guy and complains about being able to go 200 mph. Also his hip. Also how hot the thing runs even at 60mph it's trying to fry you. I listened and bought an older bike with 60hp and an upright seating position. ( 92 yamaha xj600s) He didn't and bought a v4s after owning every panigale missile possible. 1099 1199 1299. He doesn't learn but that's what I'm for to learn from his mistakes. I enjoy my ride. He enjoys running from the cops maybe sorta he toatally doesn't run... He fucking flys away. I'm 28 and he's 52 as a fyi.

I think an old UJM bike is the way to go for starting out. Teaches you to work on engines which saves you money down the road, and the old tech keeps you from pushing yourself before you are ready. My first experience riding a motorcycle, it had no front brakes and only a rear drum, and the engine only ran on 1 cylinder below 2500 rpm.

I once had to essentially redo all my wiring in a gas station parking lot in the middle of a hood at 3:00 in the morning, using only a razor blade and some electrical tape. Because it was a 77 gs750 and i had rewired it from scratch, I was able to accomplish that. I realize that new bikes don't have many issues, but when they do, its way more involved. I could carry a 10mm wrench, a screwdriver, and a couple Allen keys and fix my bike 90% of the time it broke down (which was a dozen times over 2 years, mostly due to upgrading/replacing parts, and making little errors when installing them).

I wanted to cafe it, but the effort and work would've been worth a brand-new motorcycle. Currently modding a continental GT650 as my third bike and it's been a hoot.

I started as lazy retro rider. But soon got a broken down 78 suzuki gs750. Was forced to learn to clean and tune the carbs (I removed the carbs over 50 times to get them perfect). Got it running perfectly at oem idle and rebuilt the wiring harnes to oem spec. I then cafed it soon after this. Removed the electric start because I am now a retro purist. The work pays off in the end, I now have a bike that turns heads, sounds great, and I did it with my own enginuity and hard work

Oh hey! I'm a beginner UJM! Got into it because, well, the option came up. I did it because I want to learn mechanical stuff on a simpler bike, I love the look, I love the sound, and I love the cruiser feel with mid controls. When things got out of hand with the carburetors I took it to a mechanic. Mechanic suggested a newer bike. I looked, but none of the new bikes I've seen have all 3 1. the seating position 2. the sound 3. great touring capability. Number 3 is actually a huge part, because old Honda CBs had the option to basically turn it into a full dress tourer.

You missed the "Retro Futuristic Rider". The one that shows up at Cafe Racer nights with a Cb650R, a Husky Pilen 401, or heck, even a SV650X (yes, the X version, cause it comes with the "retro style" stitching on the seat). This rider will spend hundreds on the latest "retro inspired" CE AAA approved leathers, gloves and jeans, only to pair em up with a cheap Hjc helmet with a drop-down visor. They will not mod their bikes in any shape or form to avoid losing their factory warranty and will start telling you how their TC and ABS are what's jacking up the price of their rebodied Duke 390, or how much of their modern 650's plastic design is inspired by classic UJMs. You'll find them buying generic bolt on headlight grills and amazon bar end mirrors, but they'll keep the original parts in the garage for when their finance scheme runs over and they need to return the bike to buy the newest model. (I'm soon to be one of them, lol)

I'm probably a combination of the 2nd and third one. I want a bike like the instagram greats in the cafe racer community But I have a Yamaha RS110f with clip ons I still have not spent a dime on making it look more like a cafe racer so basically number 2 My professional cycling career leaves me with almost no time to tinker with my bike so much so that the only thing I know to adjust on my carburetor is the idle. So far the only thing I've spent money on this bike since I got it after my sister died riding it is -an oil change -new brake pads -new brake cables(yes I'm on drum brakes f&r) -new inner tubes -Clip ons -side mirrors I have not chopped the rear end to weld on a u shaped tube to make it look more like a cafe racer yet, then I don't have the cafe racer themed seat as well. At this point the only good thing on my bike is the engine, drivetrain, and suspension and the entire motorcycle is worth about 1/15th of what my bicycle is worth. I also barely ride it because I don't really have money for gas and it isn't registered.

Again, my first bike was a 79' KZ1000 ST I paid $400 for and put another $400 into it to get a sticker. Had a cheap paintjob, learned on it, rode it like I stole it after I got comfortable. Liked it so much, bought another one w/19k original mi on it in South Hero, VT, drove there from SE NH to pick it up. So I have 2 technically. The 2nd one w/an original backrest/luggage rack. Still don't seem to fit your stereotypes really, as I dragged pegs on both, and I have 2 different style bikes as well. Checked out a Ducati Monster once, got off it as I realized it was 1/2 the weight of the KZ w/more HP. Not scared, more like "Oh hell yeah, I'll be dead or arrested on this." 😆

Hi there yammie. Big fan from India. If it's ever possible, you should try an Indian motorcycle - Bajaj Dominar 400. It's gaining popularity very fast in the budget sports tourers, giving tough competition to the likes of KTM Duke 390, it's really aggressively priced and it packs a punch. It's worth giving a shot.

My first bike is an RE Int650 so I'm an RE *owner* but wouldn't consider myself an RE *simp*, as it's probably the only RE model I'd buy currently. That said it's a lot easier to take the ribbing now that you've actually ridden one!

I didn't even realize all this when buying my 17' Harley 48. I just kinda walked in, saw it and bought it. I barely even knew what a Harley was lol. It was more or less the bike was calling my name xD

I've owned 2 Sportster's, a 64 and a 94. The 64 had a 4 speed, the 94 had a 5 speed that shifted like a 1940's bus. It "clanked" into every gear. Terrible.

I'm a beginner UJM guy and the only reason I even own a motorcycle as a college kid is because I got my 81 CM400 for 100$. I've ridden other bikes and I can appreciate how much better technology is now for it. There is still no feeling though like riding a death trap that only runs because you learned to fix it yourself, and you are not confident in your abilities.

Tried to be number one, ended up as number two 😎 Took a CG 125, made it 165 running 11.2:1 compression with a long duration cam and fuel injection. Fun part over, who cares about aesthetics, I got a CG to do 100mph on GPS lmao

Landed smack dab in the middle of number 5. First "bike" was an 87 helix, then an 84 nighthawk s, then an 85 k100, and now a 78 cx500. I just love shitty old bikes.
