Motorcycles and bicycles are both more /cyb/; the former is cheap on gas, maneuverable, possibly able to go off-road, and dangerous, while the latter is versatile, free to use, and also dangerous. Live fast, die going fast.

Vans can be /cyb/, however, if you've outfitted it to be a mobile cracking/stealth camper. We've got a thread for this.

Eh, he's kind of right. Even the more quiet ones are loud as all hell, and even the best riders can get fuarrrk ed up by idiots driving around them. At least in a car you have more safety.

Yeah theyre badass and we see them a lot in /cyb/ soykaf like Akira and Tron (not as cyb) but the only thing really great about them is their gas mileage.

Motorcycles. But I'm biased. Here in Ireland, we're still one of the few places in the world that has an entire season of road racing.

And not "road racing" like the Americans call it. What they call road racing we call "short circuit" (it's a short circuit track), but actual on the road racing. The mad bastards can hit 180mph or more racing on winding country roads, in all sorts of weather, with no room for error.

Most people know of only the Isle Of Man TT. But Ireland has many races from April (Cookstown 100), right up until September (Killalane Road races were the last race of the season at the start of September).

Pros for cars are:
Cybervan
Initial-D wannabe streetracing at 3am

Also I'd say that neither bicycles nor motorcycles are good. I'd say to have the optimal vehicle you'd have to have an e-bike or a motor powered bike! I've seen people make a 70km/h bicycle... You might argue that they are essentially mere crippled motorcycles but they are more than that.

1. you can go off-road
2. you don't have to limit yourself to designated streets for cars and motorcycles, you can also go on the sidewalk

Maybe you could find a way to manufacture a makeshift motor for basic bikes you find on the dump?

The best transportation for a distopian future is the bicycle. Easy to maintain, silent and not dependend on fuel. However a van can be nice to carry your bike and other stuff.

The prices in the Netherlands are similar. It's pricey but at the same time I do feel like they make sure you can survive on your own and even compensate for when a crappy driver tries to kill you.

The real fun begins tinkering with your first bike (a 1986 Kawa in my case for €300 - pic related) and hitting the road on that old lady you fixed up yourself. I suppose this doesn't go for motorcycles as a whole though; There's plenty of modern bikes around that you can't just open up and work on because of the electronics they use, so you're essentially forced to bring it to service as they boast the necessary equipment. For me, the DIY ethic around motorcycles is half the fun, which is why I got an older bike.

Then there's the risk of some overcharging garage having to clean up after your mess because the bike's running shitty, or not at all (also, renting a trailer). What about repairs on the road ? Risk of theft ? Insurance, taxes ? I've seen these projects happen: You're going to end up throwing money at a piece of metal like it's a robot stripper.

Mopeds are the most cyb. They're extremely cheap, junky, require hands on maintenance, usually utilizing a hodgepodge of parts, relatively very unregulated compared to cars/motorcycles, light weight, versatile, cost/energy efficient.
They can look just as cool as motorcycles, usually look better because no motorcycle will take you 10 miles with the kind of cyberpunk grime you find on an average moped.

But they don't go fast, most have a legal cap at 30mph that can be lifted to 50/60mph. Which is just right for urban use in in any sufficiently cyberpunk city, which is why scooters are so popular in Asia.

Except when driving between cities, a motorcycle or car or truck is only necessary for bad weather, group trips/taxis, or moving cargo/equipment. They're obviously a larger influence on the kind of personal vehicles (and mecha) you see in 80s anime than motorcycles are.

Not a bad trade off when you consider that you can pick up a used one for under $500 and that there are quite a few states where they are treated the same as bicycles legally and don't have to be registered/insured, think of it as more of an improved bicycle than a shitty motorcycle.

Not the poster that you responded to, but I currently live in a place where the drivers are completely fuarrrking insane. I've almost been t-boned by two vehicles at once because they both decided to pull out into a roundabout without checking for traffic or possibly completely not caring that there was traffic, I've seen people pull into oncoming traffic and actually run other cars off the road because they really want to pass the person who just passed them, I've also had a close call where someone attempted to push my car off the road (they started moving into my lane, I laid on my horn, they backed off into their lane and then pulled hard into my lane) because they wanted to be in the lane that I was in but didn't actually feel like accelerating to pass me, hell I've even almost been hit by a school bus that blew through a red light, and those are just a few of the many events that have happened over the past 2 years.

No, but they were designed /for/ twelve year olds.

Or at least the twelve year old inside all of us.



If you think about it though, the Toyota 86 is pretty /cyb/. Let me elaborate my reasoning.

It's cheap. As far as sports cars go anyway. Spare parts are everywhere and you can pick one up second hand for just over 20K. Not bad for a sporty little 2 litre.

Secondly, It's a front engine, rear wheel drive. So you can do some sick drifts while you escape from the robo-cops of the future in your tricked out cyb-mobile.

third, mods. There are so many modifications you can throw on this car. and if you don't have mechanical sympathy, there are so many ways you can break it and tape it back together. The engine is reliable AF so you can really abuse it and have it come through. Like I said, when it breaks, you can mend it yourself for a minimal fee.

Four, it looks nice but is subtle despite this. You could easily make it blend in, be full of wardriving gear, drugs, guns and someone dead in the back while you prowl the streets of dystopian LA at midnight. When the cops roll up you blast away with your aftermarket turbo mods and use your GPS and some script you wrote to guide you safely out of danger.

BOOM, modern day cyb car anyone can buy if they can be bothered

Is it possible to get a decent car for $800-$1000?

Something like an old honda or toyota that'll be fairly reliable and easy to work on?

I need a car but I'm a student and don't really have that much to spend. Most I'd consider spending on the car would be 1000$. I have around 2000$ saved up towards the car, but I'm going to keep the other 1000$ as an emergency rainy day fund in case the car breaks down or I need to buy parts.

Thoughts?

yeah you can get a running car for 1000$ but there is usually something on it that will need replacing. Say the tires or maybe an alternator. Id rather spend 2000$ if the car has had some stuff checked/fixed/replaced.

The most /cyb/ vehicle is something that has been heavily modified to fit the unique needs of someone with a set of fairly fringe priorities. Reliability, user- and field-serviceability, and customizability are what you should be looking for. Stock configurations are the anti-/cyb/, and that's what really disqualifies the expensive and temperamental sports cars people have been posting.

Wouldn't a cyb car have to be old enough to not include any of the new electronic spyware bull soykaf in it? Pretty much anything old and salvageable that gets you from A to B. I support the idea of mopeds being considered /cyb/ though, they cost essentially nothing in comparison to a car, and a poor hacker in a low life setting won't really have many belongings to drag around besides a portable computer.
