looks nice, altrought the suspension seems too soft, the trucks bounce more when landing big stuff.

The bike has a kickstart so must be bought.

Lol why? xD


Well my friend, it is what we had before electric starters, and breaking an ankle when our BSA or Triumph gave us a blow back, was part of the experience.  :D Crazy as it sounds nowadays I would swop my electric button for a kick any day just for the mechanical man-machine energy transfer and the proud feeling of making a beast come alive. There is more to the biking 'experience' than the bike and the clothes (of course also very important, you are making some wise choices!).

So when you roll up on your Loncin at a veterans bike rally and those old boys see you kick it over a few times to get her running, they will look past the 'fashion show clothing' and '46'' stickers and see the blood of a biker inside. Insta-respec'  ;)

You´re right, now i wont use the damn electric start  ;D

Avoid chinese bikes...

It wont last.. What you save on the purchase price will be spent on keeping the damn thing on the road.

Buy an established brand 2nd hand bike for your 1st road bike.  ;)



Sadly i cant, closest thing would be a fz-16 but is so damn small  :(

As an advice, I'll tell you to really be careful on your choices and sometimes it's better to have a lower budget for the bike to improve your "security package".

About Loncin, I heard about it years ago in GP125 category, but that's all. Stupid question but why do you want to start with a 2nd hand bike? You could have a lot better for less cash  :)

Thanks for the advice, i´m spending a good amount of money on the gear  :)

Regarding the bike, the price is for the bike new, got it with around 45% discount  ;D

Just be SAFE on the road, you are most likely the last thing on most car drivers minds
so I treat all traffic as if they can not see you. I try to stay at a safe stopping distance
and in the field of view of the car ahead of me. All the best with your new bike and ride it like you stole it.  ;D

Oooh, i will ride it a lot! <3

Don't buy a helmet without trying it for fit first, not all brands will fit your head shape (Arai are too tight for me  :( but AGV and others are OK )

You probably will not keep this bike for long and its resale value will be low, have a look for a decent used bike and see what you can get for the same money.


My first non learner bike was a low mileage used Kawasaki GPX250, cheap fun and sold it on for what i paid for it a couple of years later.

Didnt found anything :(
Tested the helmet, it fitted tight but right  ;D

Ok, finally bought the gear i posted and some acerbis leather gloves (couldnt afford astars or atrox)  :'(

So it runs like this:
Bell qualifier helmet
Acerbis leather gloves
Alpinestars Alux wp jacket (Fitted nice and tight)


Regarding the bike, the bike is brand new, not used and buying a used cbr250 would be around the double wich i cant afford in any way.

The only choice would be a used Yamaha fz-16 but it´s too small  :'(

have a good moto life Mace-X!

Hahaha, thanks man, will try that mod for sure!  ;D

Personal opinion: you're probably spending more money for your helmet+jacket+gloves than for the bike. Sounds like a no no to me.

MaX.

Yeah max, you´re right, loncin uses bmw technology in they´re engines and it´s cataloged as one of the best chinese brands, i cant really afford a big brand bike ie. Honda cbr250r or similar.

Loncin gp250: $2327 usd
Crb250r: $4816 usd

The price i am getting the loncin for: $1507 usd (a friend of my dad has a dealer and i´ll buy it at shop cost.)


Now to the equipment, i plan on buying stuff in the moto store i work, so i dont have many chances, on the plus side i get 30% off everything  ;D

regarding the jacket i´m between an Atrox ($131) and the Astars ($190). both have the same protections but you can buy a back protection for the astars, wich i´d like to buy later on.

The helmet is $131 and the only other choice would be a mtr or a caberg, altrought the caberg escapes my budget ($292).

I have not yet decided on the gloves, seeing that i could not afford a better bike i wanted to go safe on the equipment, that´s why i´m asking for feedback and tryng to buy good stuff.

Btw i could buy an used 1990 Cbr 250rr for that price but i need something to use everyday to work, it needs to be easy on km/l, this bike gives around 30-40 km/l, altrought i freaking love the sound of that 4 cilinder mini monster  ;D

Quote from: Boerenlater on October 20, 2015, 09:28:50 AM

Yeah, i´ll have to buy em later, cant afford them now  :(
Don't forget boots! You really want to protect your ankles.

"gear" is all you can do to stay alive.
i always buy the best i can. (depends on my bankaccount ;))

Thanks for the tips, i´ll do what i can, here i can buy Bell, Alpinestars, caberg, mtr, fox, ls2, techniks, atrox and a couple more brands, what i posted on top is the best i could find for a limited budget, hopefully is not bad equipment.

Thanks a lot guys!
The help is really appreciated!  :)

Looks cool, if i get to buy Gp bikes i might give the layout a try  :)

I´ve had shitty luck with mx bikes editor tho,  :-[

Max rules maya drools  ;D
Just a joke, no ofense intended, never could learn maya, hate the interface xD

Thanks a lot for the feedback guys!

At first i really tought that it was a boring game, now that i´m able to slide the tyres and turn in yellow/red lines is freaking exciting, i think i will buy it  ;D

Cant wait to race the big bore hondas and ktms <3 and the nordschleife mod that i´ve seen  :o

a couple more questions regarding various topics, i feel like a super noob here so please dont throw rocks at my silly questions xD

-For some reason using manual shifting the bike wont gear down, it´s a pain in the ass to lower the gears, i´m using auto clutch.
-For track creating, the tracks are a 3d mesh and the grass/dirt is a heightmap or everything is 3d? (in mx bikes almost everything is heightmap, altrought a fully 3d map can be done as i understand, gotta try that!)
-I have 2 mbps internet connection and could run pre beta 3 mx bikes online at a decent lag (B1 and B2), you guys think i could play online?
-I think that all piboso sims have the same track structure, are they compatible cross games? (Gp bikes nords on wrs or mx bikes?)

Thank you guys  ;D

General Discussion / Piboso titles graphics
August 17, 2015, 07:02:18 PM
So, all i´ve heard on internet is:
Gp bikes graphics sucks, mx bikes graphics are dated blah blah blah.

Personally i think piboso engine is a strong engine in therms of performance and look, the games look clean and sharp, without artifacts, only thing i´d improve are reflections.

Now, what´s the problem, in my opinion there are 2 main problems:

1- Resources to make more props/art and more detailed environments
2- Post fx

There´s nothing we can do about the first one, only make tracks/environments by ourselves.
About the second.. not much but, do you remember Enb series?
It´s a library of filters/post fx setting that works over the games, here´s an example in gta.


Link: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/5oCmkZ2aMDg/maxresdefault.jpg

So, why dont we use it in gp bikes?
Because we cant, Gp bikes runs in Opengl, where Enb series are only compatible with Directx.

Now, after been looking for a good amount of time i stumbled across this:
http://reshade.me/

Reshade is a program that allows to run different filters (You can code your own or select some of the ones contained) on various games, including both Directx and Opengl!
So, that means that we can have Ssao, Sun Flares, Bloom, Glares, Motion blur and all kind of effects that piboso games lack and makes the games feel dated.

i´ve made some tests and works nicely, although i dont really have the time to invest time on it and make a profile that works the best with gp/mx bikes, so i tought i´d let you guys know about this tool, knowing the amazing modding community you have here somebody might find a good use for this tool  :)

Hopefully this post is not offensive to anyone or piboso, i only want to help growing a stronger community and see these amazing simulators get to the next level  ;D

Thanks BOBR6 84!  :)

Tryed the 125 from the demo, i kind of like it but there´s a few things that bugs me.

Rider trespasses floor on crashes.
bike wobbles way too much? (that might my fault xD)
1st gear takes forever to start, it´s so slow until it reaches about 50km/h, from there up is top notch.

i´m not quite sure yet, i kind of want to wait for the new wrs vehicle or gp bikes b7, altrought i might give in and buy it anyways xD

God, hate you!

Bought an xbox one controller about a week ago, love it! but then i read here about the trigger issue and bam, mine´s like that too, in mx bikes is ok, i always go full throttle  ;D but in mx gp demo it sucks, i always end doing an endo or side swap  :'( same with wrs  >:(
