disappoint.

At first it sounded somewhat legit because theres dummies out there but the last posts from him are beyond ridiculous. I dont want to counter steer lol Props to op though, he troll very wisely

You bought a bike solely based on what you'll look good riding yet refuse to go the proper routes to learn how to ride. Either enjoy your garage ornament or make an honest effort to get out there and learn. It sounds like you have a few offers for free lessons so there you go, you got what you want. Now you can't blame your cheapness.

I'm serious though. Counter steering scares the shit out of me. I tried it on the bicycle and I almost fell off.

My friends told me to slow down using the brake while approaching a turn, but I thought that just letting go of the throttle about 100m before the turn would be better, then I can just steer it regularly around. Less braking = less chance of me pulling too hard and falling over.

It's the only way to live life.

Someone who knows what a slipper clutch is, but thinks counter steering is scary???

How anyone didn't spot the troll is just beyond me

Im just impressed 1km on the odometer. Lowest I've ever seen on a *delivered* bike was 6km.

Post this R1 pics or it didnt happen. Battery should have been dead long ago.

The bike is preowned actually, so the odometer reads more than 1km. Sorry should have stated in OP that bike is used.

I started it up a few days ago, billowing nasty exhaust fumes, but otherwise seems fine? Added some new gas as well.

Bike has been sitting for too long.. its no good anymore. You should put it up for sale at a drastically reduced price.. ill do you the favor and come and pick it up and take it to the scrap metal place. Its the only logical answer. Bike cant sit for more than a year... sorry dude but your out of luck. Ill swing by with my truck and give you $1000.00 for it..

You know, it could have been sitting for too long and may require some work to get it going. Gaskets and seals like to dry up when they sit for that long.

I agree..I wouldn't be riding or driving anything with old rubber/fluids etc until it gets a clean bill of health.

My Grom was delivered with 0km. So was my CBR, but I didn't grab a pic of that.

Here's an old pic I have, I believe it was taken in 2013 or 2014 though. I unhooked the battery over the winter.

It started fine, but not like it's gone anywhere other than on the stand. I might get it looked at some time later.

1/2 serious but youd better let me take it out for a test ride to make sure all is well.

[Disoblige]

This is ridiculously pathetic, I really hope this is trolling.
I rather ride a 250 and look like a pro doing it while having fun, instead of "looking cool" on an R1 and not even know how to ride it.

I actually don't even think I can handle a 250. I can't handle a 50cc scooter either so there's that...

It's okay man, enjoy looking at your bike
Treat it as a 1:1 scale model.

It's been a 1:1 scale model for the last 3 years, I'm sure it has many years ahead of it. I just hope one day through all my hard training I can get it out of the garage and onto the streets.

you sure do like 1:1 scale models. some yellow car in your garage hasn't moved either in the last 7+ years

For those that think OP is trolling, you're seriously underestimating the quirkiness of Chinese people.
