“Since this is a beginner forum, here is a slightly over simplified analogy in lay persons terms to get a basic understanding of horsepower and torque”This is great. I’m printing it out and putting it with my bike research.
Thanks!True. However, some of the bikes that are being included are very borderline, and it sounds like some are simply being included because they are asked about often, but not recommended.
On rereading the thread above, Eon basically makes the same suggestion that I made, and Eternal said that the numbers should speak for themselves. I agree, as long as we give a guideline as to what the numbers say (back to my rapidly dimming Brightline.
) Otherwise, we should categorize them somehow.I guess what I am saying is that for those bikes that we have a fair consensus are good beginner bikes (like the Ninja 250), we note them. For bikes that we spend time debating (some of the ones in the 650 range), we note them. For the ones that shout SQUID, but have included to show how unreasonable they are, we note them.
In the end, we’re hoping for a tool that is easy for people people who are ignorant about motorcycle mechanics to use. I know the word ignorant is probably going to ruffle some feathers, but I’d rather use it than Squid. I’m ignorant when it comes to most things mechanical. I’m not stupid, but I know very little about what these numbers mean. This is a correctable condition, and so I’m here hanging out with lots of people who know more than me.
Slice, what ever floats your boat. If you want to go with a mohawk on your helmet, go for it. You can’t live your life trying to conform to the standards of a bunch of total strangers whose only relationship to you is that they happen to like motorcycles and frequent the same forum as you.
That said…
My vote is in for the pink one. It will match the bug-eye helmet nicely.
Just watch out for Heroes with mirrored shields. Also, it might give you a legendary appearance, but I would guess that it doesn’t provide legendary protection for your noggin.
I know; you can procrastinate up to a point and then you have to just do it.
End of term? Are you a prof? Yo! Eternal! Are you procrastinating on your procrastinating?
Let me know if you want help on putting together the comparison… I am now back in the procrastination business…
Hmm… I don’t think that can be quite right… Was there a break down by gender? I would think that having a pink helmet would increase your odds of getting a date in a tavern…
I know what you mean, I was going to crack a joke about how diverisfying your modes of transportation actually reduces your risk, but I don’t think it would translate well.
