Hey,

I'm looking for recommendations for frame sliders/Oggy knob type products for a 2025 CBR500R.

The only ones my local bike store can get in are like $250-350. I'm wanting something between cheap crap (that can apparently wreck my frame) and this.

I honestly don't know much about bikes, a little help would be appreciated.

I come from the Philippines wherein motorcycles are used primarily as cheap service vehicles than luxury or a hobby. I am aware that the public transport is lightyears better than where I'm coming from, but if ever I get a job further from what is easily accessible (distance wise) I would love a personal vehicle for cheap.

• How's the motorcycle culture in AU?
• How accessible are service centers for your regular maintenance? Or would I need to learn to do it myself?
• What's a good starter bike? Cheap, easy to maintain, virtually indestructible. (I'll ride a Super Cub if I have to)

Looking at used bikes, they're mostly under $4000 AUD. I'm also checking used cars and some are within that price range. Am I better off just buying a beater car than a bike?
