>>28190443that's a super-cub
>>28190445how heavy is it compared to the new one?
>>28190454208kg kerb vs 207 on the 2025 according to google
>>28190441more webms!!!
>>28190521Nice, someone heavier than mine (205), the heavier weight does makes it feel planted as fuck at speed, unlike my old mt07 that would make me move along with the side wind
>>28190396Super cub police
>>28190538high quality poster, without you were fucked
>>28190396thawing my hands hurts so bad.https://imgur.com/a/bckB8Pz25F today, rode my Yamaha three miles to the grocery store, had to rest my handson some frozen goods, the pain is bad. Snow is good too, seems crazy but i doit
>>28190445HOONDA
>>28190528rape and kill all cyclistfags>>28190521it does feel firmly planted yeahill prob still like it when i try a lighter bike, but its a tradeoff im very willing to take for this engine
>>28190561>>28190534sorry i robbed you of a (You), here it is
>>28190545thanksI will never give up my devotion to Super cubs and related Trail cubs
>>28190570here mine, brand new has only 300km so far. Love it, wouldn't trade it for any other on the market atm
>>28190579i want to try one of those, my friend from spain was redpilling me on ittell me about it anon what does it have compared to for example an R7
>>28190588I never had an R7, but like I said I had an Mt-07. and the engine is on a whole different level. and to be fair that's sort of expected given on how it's a bigger engine. don't be fooled by the the stats on the sheet, this thing feels like it has way more power than it has, the torque feels monstrous, how effortlessly it goes from 80 to 160 just giving it half throttle like it's nothing.On another very positive note, it's one of those now rare bikes that is 100% made in japan
>>28190598>>28190579can this beat a yamaha r6???
>>28190598thats based, i bet this thing will last 50 years if not more with proper care. definitely need to check that outdoes it sound nice?
>>28190602the sound is the worst part, not that it sounds bad, it's just very muted. I'm waiting for the eventually homolgated exhausts to come out here in europe>>28190601it's not a super sport, the ergos are quite comfy. the most comparable one is the CBR650R or something like the aprilla rs660. It's a twin, so you know what to expect, lot's of torque, but non high reving screaming engine without too much top end. Power peaks at 8.5k
>>28190616got it
>>28190528Here's a train
Here's a crotch rocket in a cattle trailer.
>R6 is old and expensive>R9 is expensive>R7 is slow>R1 is going to kill me with its maintenance cost
>>28190677Looks like a sportbike to me
>>28190550jesus brother get some thicker gloves or more layers
>>28190550have you considered heated handgrips
>>28190682what's wrong with the maintenance of the R1?
>>28190704gas prices, tires, stator, you have to check the shims more often etc
>>28190716 >gas pricesI'm pretty sure gas aint the problem if you buy a new generation liter bike>tiresHas nothing to do with the bike itself>statorwhat?>Shimsif you really don't want to pay somone to do it, do it yourself.
Brain is telling me to sell my truck and get a supermoto but I’m not anywhere near the financial security required for that aaaargh
>>28190716I just checked it's every 40k km. Same as with the CP2 engine. Are you just an uninformed larper? In what world is that a problem?
>>28190723>ayo R1 is fine>proceeds to ride a single cylinder Honda Stator problems are very common for R1s, the magnets can fells off
>>28190735but he might break a nail, and grow a hair on his ball
>>28190735>40k km.it's more like 10k, anon
>>28190742it says 40 on the manual. Does it start to tick earlier?
>>28190733Keep truck. Save for dirt bike. Transport dirt bike in back of truck.

>>28190550You should consider handlebar covers. That, in addition with gloves, helps with cold and wind.
I have been thinking of getting into sport bikes more. I know its not quite a sport bike but this is the rear set on my cb500x. With the stock pegs my knees got stiff after riding. This peg is lowered and put more forward. This allows more comfort on long highway rides like on a cruiser but I cant rest my heel against the rear set and be more grounded and be as sporty like a sport bike my knees are also lower and grip the bike in a narrower and lower spot. The stock pegs sucked but I think they allowed for a better ergonomic control.

Opinions on a flashed ZX4RR for Cali canyons/twisties? Love the idea of a screaming 400 but I’d hate to lack power for that price point.
>>28190878A guy on a 2015 Yamaha FJR1300 broke the coast to coast Cannonball record last year.
>>28190896 Just watch euro reviews where they get full power. I love this guy's reviews https://youtu.be/ciCPc5ZrCzk?si=UeZGRqTby1V8OYWe
>>28190900I thought that was during 2020.
>>28190877Nice. Are they just called offset pegs or what?>>28190896Disappointed in the lack of fully adjustable suspension.
>>28190909There is technically two runs you can do. Nothing is official though.>Beau Earnest set a new time of 32 hours and 32 minutes over April 19-21, 2024.https://youtu.be/8B6Pct1E0Ys?si=HzBgnFpeBpjTLwz0
>>28190896Man, this bike is so stupid it's unreal. If you want a sportbike for the canyons and twisties then an R7 is way better.If you want higher top speed why don't just buy a ZX-6R instead
>>28190933The zx6r is sufficiently light that I don't see the zx4 advantage
>>28190770>>28190807You guys would stop for your bros
>>28190835Thank you Thank you Thank you, bike tear down pics so sexy uuuugggghhhh
Bros Yamaha
>>28190933>>28190939What do you guys mean? It seems like a pretty good midpoint in price and performance between the Ninja 500 and the ZX-6R. It seems like it competes pretty closely with the R7 too.Unless you're an American who only gets the gimped version, that is. I don't understand why anybody in America would buy one.
>>28190396sick, but theres something wrong with your mic. the cb1100 sounds weird
>>28191016The ninja 650 is still a better road bike than the 400r. As a track toy, yeah it's awesome

>HM>Honda Moto>aka HOMO
>>28191194> Kove 450Actually one hell of an engine in that one. Not quite ktm 500 levels of torque, but getting close, and probably more zip than any of the other 450cc rally/adv bikes I'm familir with while also being lighter. Longevity remains a question, but no way to say yes or no until we start seeing some 45-60k machines going up for sale and needing minimal work.All that being said, have you ridden one yet, anon?
>this time, yeah THIS time the chink shit will be good >trust me bro
>>28191283I know, but I actually have hope for CFmotoi if only because of their ATVs. The Kove is cleary trying to be an Austrian/Swedish Euro rally bike, so its engine probably won't last even if it's suspension and gear box do.

Anon, are you strong? Can you pick up your motorcycle?
>>28191544N-no. And it's only 200kg.
>>28191544it's all about technique. with the right technique even a girl can pick up some heavy chungus bike
>>28191544Yes and yes
>>28191544Yes, but I have a lighter (350lbs) bike. So light, I didn't even use that push press technique. I just been cleaning the damn thing like a retard when I dump it.
>>28191523please tell me what makes it a bad bike? (apart from the tires being larp)oh wait you are just a contrarian fuck
>>28191567nta but I always thought the huskies were just expensive so people that buy them feel special. they usually cost more than what they are worth
>>28191578idk man, the specs on it seem insane, it seems like it has everything (good adjustable suspension, screen for a dash, backlit buttons, self cancelling indicators, ABS (can disable rear), TC, quickshifter) and its 6k euros like I said, I dont see any drawbacks for a 400cc nakedlike sure its a bit of a scrambler larp but its a 400cc, its not a 200mph bike, or even a 100mph bike lmfao
>>28191544I started lifting to make bike lifting easier.And its working
>>28191585I sorta like the new 801 but again it's just too expensive compared to the competition
>>28191585>I dont see any drawbacks for a 400cc [...] scrambler larpCan you disable the ABS on the front? Like even just by pulling a fuse?

>>28191618How is VA for off road riding? Might be visiting soon. I hear living in VA has the downsides of northern states and the downsides of southern states, but not sure how true that is.
>>28191649Nta, but depends on which part. Plenty of places to g go offroad if you know where to look.
>>28191654Looking forward to checking it out. Seems like it's really pretty with a nice balance of coasts, rivers, and the hills and mountains out west.
>>28191669What part of va you coming?
>>28191682NoVa. I know it's not exactly a popular area with the rest of the state, but it's for work.
>>28191513IS IT REALLY THAT EASY?Also quad bros, picrel has caught my eye, love the color and the plate and the four exhausts into your face to keep you warm with 750cc Thats crazy cool feature

do you go for night rides? I can't see shit at night.
>>28191846no point youre just gonna get ran over by some DUI retard. no amount of LED lighting or reflective tape can save you.
>>28191856wtf that gif is supposed to be longer
>>28191510These things are absolutely tiny, and have ergos for deformed midgets. They're also completely useless on the highway.If you want a little city runabout with a single-cylinder engine, you would be much better off with a CB300R. And if you want something cost-effective with better performance and are willing to risk the KTM/CFMoto tax, then you would be better with a 450NK.

>>28191544>Anon, are you strong?No>Can you pick up your motorcycle?Yeah. I was coming home from a 12hr shift, parking the bike between cars in the dirt driveway. I went stupid and grabbed too much front and it tipped, couldn't stop it from falling. Hit the kill switch and just picked it up. I figure since its a sportster the center of gravity is low so it made it easy to lift. Bike was fine, cars were fine, I was pissed but fine.
>>28191636IIRC the '24 model increased the ground clearance abit to about 7" so it's not as much of a lie to call it a scrambler.
>>28189619>he bought NRFB (never removed from box)WOW, the purest buying experience any anon can hoep to experience, suzuki is a good brand

>>28191964On a side note this is what I wish honda had made with the new """improved""" front headlight for the cb650r. Honda massacred the cb650r with the new light and intakes
>>28191972the rear swingarm is a 1 piece casting so theres no welds on it but the frame, which i looked up on ebay, seems to have nice welds on it.

>>28192562thanks yaea i did my best thats no quickshifter, but no i dont do 3d girls, got burned too many times its not worth
>>28191544Literally pick it up?
Mother, tell your children not to walk my way. Tell your children not to hear my words, what they mean what they say.Mother.MOTH-ERMAAAAMAAAAA
>>28191544Yeah, I set it down on a moving blanket to find out.
>>28191544of course. moreso to keep it up on 2 than pick it up, the bitch is topheavy after suspension upgrades
>>28192575where's the video
>>28192636You diddnt see it? i already posted it. anyway its my bedtime
>>28192646no! the gymkhana battlegrounds video! get back here!
>>28192652hes gone anon, maybe hell come back and post it tommorrow. you should probably just keep waiting.
>>28190579I love mine i took her to get a proper washing before the snow came and put some rust preventer stuff on the metal bits. Like you've said in other replies the torque is where this bike shines and is deceptively quick off the jump.
>>28191882>>28191896>>28191898Yamahabros, no, not like this, there must be a mistake
>>28192408>>28192419Is this the same mind broken sperg who occasionally loses it and goes on a chink pipe rant? Kek>>28192479It's amazing what motorcycles do for your mental health, as much of a cringe buzz term that is.>>28192555You ever going to finish night kahna?
>>28192689896 is a good example nonny
>>28192692yea i will just keep waiting you guys are rushing me, you want it to be good right?
>>28192500i get that around here too because I live in the southern US and they don't know about comfort upgrades to motorcycles because most of the time it's 100+ degrees (but you'll love those heated grips for three months of the year)
>>28191882>>28191898what the fuck my Serow isn't like this[spoiler]is this a classic case of Japan favoring traditional Japanese models instead of supersports?[/spoiler]
>>28192479>I suffer in LAfuck you, you make pajeets ITT cry
>>28192702You're not going to do it are you. It's been two years.
>>28192717no it hasnt! just keep waiting im not cursed thumbs anon i wont flake.
>>28192734I heard the rumors of his flaking were greatly exaggerated.
Slow night on dbt
>>28192762nah he flaked hard, he left the tennygang hanging for weeks, months even!>>28192791nice tube frame anon.
>>28192791sorry all i have are whols
I am not a fan of the DR-Z400 being replaced by the DR-Z4S
>>28192792Thanks anon, it's steel btw.>>28192828I always enjoy your whols and wish I could do that too.
>>28192830What are you gonna do about it?
>>28192830Why? Seems like it's just strictly better without changing too much of the original
>>28192849gotta start somewhere
GSX-R or R6? Which one is more reliable?
https://streamable.com/lljizrI should ride at night more, the cold air feels like a warm embrace and every breath feels so smooth
>>28192995Best part about riding to work on the night shift. Going home in the morning feels great
>>28192926If you're buying one from the 00s golden age, probs the GSXR, the R6 was always more highly strung and a favorite for track riders.
>>28193000Checkd as fuck and also HYB, I can’t imagine how good a 5am homebound commute would feel after you’ve mentally mapped out the cop spots
I don't understand why would anyone buy an R7 when any used R6 is more powerful and probably cheaper. Hell, it's possible to find an R1 for the price of a Ninja400. Are people stupid? The Breaded Mechanic proved that you can buy any bike and fix it by just cleaning the carbs
>>28191032I'm not sure. What are the options?
Winter HATE
>>28193058For street riding? CP2 is a way better motor unless you're hooning around with no plate. I'd just save the cash vs both and get an mt07
>>28193105>2001 YZF-R6 € 1,899. 56k km, 120hp>2016 MT-07 € 5,500. 15k km, 75hp>save the cashAnon?
this polar vortex is devilry and I rebuke it in the name of the lord>>28193124wish I could find an R6 for ~2500usd :^(
fuck forgot pic
>>28193124Okay if you want a 24 year old bike that's fine but as for the horsepower, I don't want a peaky 599cc i4 for the street. There's a reason the 636 and gsxr750 were made
>>28193152Gixxer 7fiddy is nice
Can't wait for this. China will save motorcycling
>>28190551The definition of pain and existential dread is getting into the US Honda/Suzuki/Kawasaki website and see you can still buy V2 japanese cruisers brand new. Fuck european regulations
>>28193168keep testing the temu bikes on the temu population chang, when they're half as good as jap bikes maybe people in the US will stop laughing at these totally-not-shilling "articles" and start taking you seriously. I mean people would literally rather buy the indian made bikes here from RE than even try one from China and that tells you everything you need to know.
>>28193168The only thing it will save is specialized 4x4 tow truck companies. I live nearby a chink bike dealership that works with CFMoto among many other brands. I've witnessed their build quality
>>28193168Last year they're wasn't many folk at the cf moto text for test rides. Might check it out this year for shits n giggles
>>28193181>>28193183Only thing worth worrying about on this bike is the Austrian designed engine. But I suspect it's built to a higher spec here than in the orange bikes
>>28193168>THIS time they will be good>Yeah THIS year>not last year, dont worry about all the other landfill this company has been selling >THIS chink shit will be better than everything else>Trust be bro
>>28193210yes, it's Austria that's known as the epicenter of the cheapest and lowest quality consumer goods on the planet LMAO
>>28193222It's not cfmoto that's literally collapsing and can't sell bikes rn.
>>28193230and yet no one, not even a chinaman, would take a cfmoto over a ktm if either were free>inb4 I-i-i would!!yeah we get it you're trying to legitimize chinese manufacturing on an anonymous image board and it's likely your full time (slave labor) job, give it a rest
Husqvarna sm610 for first bike.What do you think? Apparently this one is from the BMW years and reliable.
>>28193168>china will save motorcyclingYou mean after they destroyed it?
>>28193230Who do you think made those engines dude
>>28192562>>28192568>mfw r6 chomo turned into troon on a shooms biggest fanUh oh, flake bros not like this>>28192717>TWO YEARSflake of the year awards worthy>>28192762Yes
>>28193274good choice for first bike, do your own research but supermotos and big singles are usually lightweight, easy to ride, simple to maintain
>>28192021I want one so bad but I'm riding an xsr900 and I know whatever sport bike I get after is going to feel underpowered
>>28193349Based Yamaha enjoyer
Any of you guys run flip up plates?
>>28193365Don't do it Jamal
>>28193365
>>28193281Oof.
>>28193400It's the design that's flawed. KTMs in general have shit quality. The Bajaj Indian made 390 is their best bike
>>28193168>Hand picks motorcycles for reviewers.>Cant trust their long term production QC.
Ktm bikes are superior
What I want>R9What I can afford>15+ years old R1/R6 or 2 years old R7why live?
>>28193463They damn sure like them for motorcross aroud here.> Asked coworker who previously completed what dual sport they would recommend for my first bike> "Definatey a ktm 350. Good pep. You don't want to be picking up anything heavier all the time."No, Conner, I do not need a 250lbs bike that produces 50hp at the motor and has such a high compression ratio that you measure service intervals in operating hours for a first bike
>>28193349>>28193362>be yamawhore>invent xsr900>"hmm how can we make this thing more gay and appeal to npc normie subhumans">"throw fairings on it" >poof>xsr900gp is born>"but wait we have to cuck our customers somehow">copy.

>>28193491Love my crf450rl, i only want the ducatti 698 in dual sport dendition to even think about replaceI wonder if i could just swap out all my honder parts fron the crf450rl into the mono and have it all work out greatShame im not into spending $18,000 plus tip for biscottiHas anyone on deebeetee even ridden the duchabbi single?
>>28193124I had a gen1 2002 R6 way back. The early R6's had a weak 2nd gear that would slip. For 2002 Yamaha fixed the gear box in the last year Gen1. Other things I learned,>Overheated rectifier, connector cooked.Gen1 the rectifier is buried under the seat where their is no air flow. Its also a generic off the shelf connector with no weatherproofing.>Carburetor balancing,You're going to need to buy a tool and learn to balance carbs, or find a garage that still has experience working on carbureted super sports.>Almost no aftermarket left for it.Other than that its a good bike and surprisingly street friendly compared to the newer R6's. Its closer to 80/90s sport bikes in comfort. The Gen1 R6 feels a lot like the modern CP3 Yamaha engine of today. It also has cool tail lights.
>>28193517>The early R6's had a weak 2nd gear that would slipIt was probably just someone's clutchcess shifting learner bike kek, dog boxes haven't changed in like 60+ years
>>28193503At least the R9 is uncomfortable and looks retarded
>>28193515You are the first person I've heard that likes their CRF450, but I suspect you knew specifically what it was for before you bought it.
>>28193503Yea a lot of people don't realize this but the new crop of ~900cc cuckbikes are going to be the nu-liters. The game is over..
>>28190396Baked new>>28193528>>28193528
>>28193522I'm sure that's part of it sure. But the second gear was actually weaker in the Gen1 R6. If I recall it was something to do with the gear slipping under hard acceleration causing the dogs to round off. The updated 2nd gear has four dogs where as the old gear had three. Yamaha also beefed up the shift fork. Supposedly the Gen2 gears can drop into the Gen1's gearbox so its something that can be fixed.Its something people looking to buy a 99-02 R6 need to know. If they are a wrenchlet they'll need to pay some garage like $1-2k to replace gears on a bike worth $2-3k. If I was in the market for another 99-02 R6 I would demand a test ride or paperwork showing the gear was fixed. Or walkaway.
>>28193503What are you on about? The R9 is almost a completely different bike, pretty much only the engine and computer is the same.>R1Yamaha is developing a V4 to replace the CP4 because V4s are spawn camping I4s in the corners. Also MotoGP is retarded and dropping the the limit from 1000cc to 850cc again. Because Yamaha wants to stay in MotoGP and they don't have infinite money Yamaha needs to develop a new engine that can drop into MotoGP and Superbike classes. Research and engineering is expensive.
>>28193181>half as good as jap bikesuhhhhhhhhhhh >>28191882
>>28193281oh no no no no no no KTM SAAARS
>>28193274>>28193332Thank you. I think it's the way to go. In the UK DRZ sm are all clapped out and way overpriced, since they were stopped due to emissions back in 2009.This looks way better in all aspects!
>>28193433>camshafts melting due to cheese heat treating is the fault of the design and not the manufacturerCertifiably goofy
