I have fallen for pajeet aryan Im very close to buy this motherfuckerplease give me alternatives but it has to be that weight and size , ground clearance and seat height
>>28200581is there really not a single good thing to be said about this bike?im so fucked what else do i get
>>28201028Get it and stop trying to get other people to think for you. Stop listening to shill reviewers and miserable contrarians on /o/.
>>28201030>stop trying to get other people to think for youthis is so unfair and harshi just thought to have a discussion about particular bike with people who are into bikesisnt that what we do here? just cant believe that nobody has a first hand experience to shareand regarding youtube reviewers i dont see anyone shilling this, its literally so out of favour its unreal, people are definitely more in favour of KTM 390 Adventure for example
>>28200581Honda is the best choice if you want something that runs without worry. Kawasaki is good too.
>>28201054but anon those are endurosvery good for offroad fun around the homebut not comfy for traveling for long and city which kawasaki tho? versys?
>>28201048You probably should have asked in /dbt/. Anon is right though. If you like the 310GS then stop waiting for someone to talk you out of it and just get it. Go to a dealership and get on it to make sure you like the ergos and then buy it if you do. It's a $6,000 motorcycle there's no reason to treat the decision like a bomb defusal.
>>28201072its $8033,70 in Europe here lmao
>>28201084You're willing to pay that much for an Indian TVS worth like $4K tops?
>>28201093coming back to the start then, what are my fucking optionsthere simply are not bikes in this category that are worth anything, besides KTM, its unreal in what state is the industryeverything else is either enduro or huge dual sports that I dont want to hassle with
>>28201048>i just thought to have a discussion about particular bike with people who are into bikesYou've made like 4 different threads on this one bike, just fucking buy it already
>>28201061Do you want a noob bike? Who caresI toures my crf450rl from grande prairie to edmonton to abbotsford this last yearWith a bike you can do whatever the fuck you want>>28201105Read the dbt stiggy>not enough bikes in this categoryLearner bikes?Adv bikes?Theres billions of choice combos, youre just an idiot that wanta to hear himself reciprocated despite being a nobikeAdvs are literally everywhere and there are betternoptions even as a starterIf you want a single cylinder it makes sense to go dual sport because its better performance and weight is lowIf you want more adv itll be heavier, juat get a suzuki vstrom 650 or something used, who caresIf you want touring get a vfr800But yeah read the dbt sticky and stop overthinking your first bike, unless you want a forever bike and already know how to ride, then the answer is dual sport
>>28201117I’m mad that people even responded to this dumbass thread after all the previous ones
>>28201122>crf450rlwas that comfortable? it looks like a bit of a stronger wind on a freeway would blow you awayit seems that most people here are japan fanboysis it an american thing? an absolute disregard for european brands or just too expensive?
>>28201127imagine getting mad over thisget a life dude
>>28201144I had a big dufflebag and a seat concepts seat, wouldve preferrd something else as that bike prefers to be an hour from the trails or lessAnd the time i went through the rockies was late september mid octpber so those mountain passes were brutal needless to say, thankfully no snow
>>28201160it looks kinda badass and "fuck everyone" kind of vibes which I respect, but it also sounds like a torture for long travels
>>28201163Yes and noYou meet the nicest peepoo on a honder
>>28201197no good honder available in Europe to buyeverything is very bulky and heavy than g310
>>28201061klr650. The best of both worlds offroad suspension and height with street comfort of upright position, comfy seat and cruise power.Trail dirt bikes are meme and half of the time don't have fuel tanks to go deep innawoods
>>28200581>Please give me Why? If you can't look for information yourself, how are you going to process the answers given here? For all we know you are some retard. For starters, how did you arrive at your bike of choice, what other brands and models did you consider on what grounds and why didn't they make the cut?
>>28203907klr650 is not available in Europe except for the old used ones that are 20+ year oldalso it has very high seat I believe and big fuel tank which makes it a lot top heavyits still a single cylinder tho for such size >>28203950fair enoughI was looking at something beginner friendly but still moderately powerful to cruise and also to be ready for some moderate offroadthat is not so heavy and tall that is comfortablethat looks coolin this category we have :KTM 390 Adventure-- more powerful but less reliable engine, expensive, fake offroader, better dashboard, worse comfort, disgusting looks, its basically a street bike with adventure looks, that headlight is unreal how ugly it is, I would still go for it if there would be nice deals for it but nope, brand new is crazy, used are all with 15k+ kilometers Royal Enfield Himalayan: -- more powerful, seat height nice, heavy, still a single cylinder which will make it less powerful, have a classic looks but somethings off and I dont like it, still not that much cheapHonda CRF300L-- purely offroad, shit for cruising and traveling, I dont like that , not surprised since it is an enduro bikeKawasaki Versys 300--- closest candidate with KTM but still very weak, dash is kinda shitty, not very offroad capable, nowhere to be found to buy new, only one for sale used in my country, seat height is great, single cyliner which is okHusq Svartpilen 401--- looks nice, other characteristics good, but its purely city bikeBMW G310 GS-- current top choice , best of both worlds, super comfortable for traveling, not too fast tho still a single cyl, excellent offroad capabilities, biggest ground clearance, great wheel travel, dashboard sucks but its subjective (its not in color so it gives off cheap pajeet vibes), very good build, seat height great, weight to power great, have currently the best deal for a used one that looks like brand new, only 7k kilometers for 5500 eurosI dont know what else man
You are in Europe right? Did you have proper riding lessons and if so, what bike did you ride?Regardless, I think there aren't many other, if at all, options out there that aren't significantly heavier or more powerful like the Honda NX500 or 500X.I think the reason for this is that the market isn't there. On the one side, you have the A1 license, which gets serviced by the 125CC bikes, which all the Japanese have. And the A2 market which is I guess mostly served by restricting heavier bikes, except for Honda the and Kawasaki 500'sThe Honda 500 is much heavier. The only other bikes I can think of are the Kawasaki Z500 and Yamaha MT-03 because they are relatively light, but both are street oriented nakeds.Btw, the Husq is based on the KTM, so shares the engine downsides. Conclusion:I think you covered all options in your segment. I can't suggest anything else. Go test drive the GS and if you like it, buy it. Only choice left is the risk/reward of buying used vs new, but if the used one is at a trustworthy store with warrenty I don't see an issue buying used.
>>28204515>You are in Europe right? Did you have proper riding lessons and if so, what bike did you ride?yes and yes , full A category, Yamaha MT-07>I think the reason for this is that the market isn't thereyou are so right about that, hopefully the chinks will make the euros and japs to wake up and focus on middle weight adventure bikes we already see it happening slowly e.g. the concept BMW F450 GSthe rest of your post is exactly my thoughts it is what it is, indian BMW is the closest thing (imagine what a sad situation of the market)
>>28204651>yes and yes , full A category, Yamaha MT-07The advice here to start with a small bike is because it's an predominantly American website. So if you want something light because you plan to drop it a lot off road it's fine. But don't do it because of the "small bike to learn advice". The small bike advice is for people like in the video below, who did an afternoon MSF course and think they car ride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wTGbO3y9CA
>>28204708>that videothis has to be a joke right, his voice, the sound he makes, narrating , questions... my god...but yeah I get what you mean, its just that the big adventure bikes like Tenere or big BMW GS , is really big and super expensive , like 3 times more expensive, its serious business And I know I would be able to easily handle them its just they are really big, expensive and not much versatile all rounders like KTM 390 or G310 GSI know that they are super weak compared to the big ones but they seem to be good enough for starters , both bang for buck and handling and maintenanceI wish there would be a caregory there is somewhere in the middle of these two but as you say the market is not there and is only now slowly waking up for these demandsthats why I kind of realized that if Im to choose between heavy expensive adv motor or weaker but lighter, affordable, "good enough" for freeways and for offroad and to confidently do that and pick it up if im alone somewhere then I guess the reason tells me to at least start with the latter and in a year or two upgrade if its for me
>>28204772I'm trying to think of what I would do in your place. The only difference is that actual off road isn't an option for me, because all roads are paved in a 200km radius and off roading is outright banned.I also agree that the current "middle weights" are on the heavy side to off road with.Being a first bike, I probably wouldn't want to spend KTM690 or AJP PR7 money.T7 and NX500 would still be too heavy. Now, if absolutely didn't want a indian bike I'd have the following options.CRF300 Rally, more fairing than 300L. I'd have to test ride to see if it was acceptable for me on the highway. Older single cylinder endure/dual sport. Single cylinder helps with the weight. Think Yamaha XT660R, maybe BMW650, or Suzuki DR650. I'm assuming these are better on the highway because of the bigger engines and more capable off road than the 310GS. But this would also depend heavily on what bikes are available.
>>28204935may I ask which country are you from where offroad is banned? that sounds very harsh and like weird?arent people allowed to ride bikes through nature/villages where theres no pavement? it almost sound you are from those heavy urbanized densely populated and regulated countries like Netherlands or Denmark?I was considering BMW F650 but not good offers for them, they are 12+ years old and people still ask 5k+ euros CRF300 Rally is still not well protected from wind and definitely is enduro biased, also its weaker than G310 GScurrently there is an offer 2022 G310 GS for 5600 euros with 7000km and with the first service done (which is expensive) the bike itself looks brand newI did so much research and all my calculations are leading to this one BMW G310 GS I just hope that G310 is not so much awful on freeway because I would also like to travel to other countries besides doing modest offroadMaybe this overthinking is useless and I should just do it and see where I go from there, it is the best deal currently still didnt see any of these irl, maybe i will hate it when i sit on it, such is life
>>28204963Both Germany and Belgium are complicated regarding off road or forest roads. I'm in NL which hasn't any real off road. Maybe the occasion 2km of gravel road to some farms or some forest road of dubious legal status. And the forests that we have are for walking of cycling which is okay. The population density is just too high. We do have some off road training grounds though.>I just hope that G310 is not so much awful on freeway>maybe i will hate it when i sit on it, such is lifeRent one for a day or a weekend, or ask a dealer if they have a demo bike you can try. The only way to find out is to actually ride it. Then you will know for sure.
>>28204963Just buy your streetshitter bike and stop making these threads. Any light naked bike will be more capable off-road than you'd ever need and literally any other make has a competitor that's better in every way
>>28205067i so knew it you are from NLyeah I definitely need to see several of these bikes irl first I want to see that chink cfmoto 450 mt as well , to see whats all the hype about
>>28205155>literally any other make has a competitor that's better in every wayname 3
>>28205157>>28205155>he never respondsthought so
lol KTM is going bankrupt
>>28204023Get the crf300L rally, quit being a bitch, put a seat concepts seat and a taller windscreen, and put sheepskin on top of that if you still have a sore ass from having never squatted 315+lbs atg in your lifeYou keep wanting a mary sue do it all, and of all in that list the one you hate most is the one for exactly that you tardassKlr is also a good choice but youre too stupid to realize that it seems
>>28207272you are a typical fatass american , a gookbike fanboygookbikes are reliable and thats it, they are boring and dull and look like shitBMW and KTM and HUSQVARNA mog them so hard its not even funnyand soon even chinks will mog themmight as well nuke japan again

>>28207272saved
>>28204023I have no idea why you think BMW would be any better than anything else off-road or on the highway. It's a small street bike with some make pretend adventure fairings.
>>28208223>street bikelol what a retard
>>28200581>Im very closeNo you're not. You are not going to do shit. You will just keep spamming these stupid threads. People have given you honest and earnest answers in all your other fucking threads about this bike. Yet you keep making threads. Get fucked.
>>28208273>People have given you honest and earnest answers in all your other fucking threads about this bikelol no they havent, they only sperg out like you do, spewing hatred and giving off poorfag energy>>28204935only this anon was actually mature
>>28208277>poorfag energy>Thread about GS310Your self awareness is abysmal
>>28208277You’ve had multiple threads telling what’s what.

>>28208284>Still hasn't bought any motorcyclestop being a nobike.
>>28208284That’s cause most are, this is just some shitty Indian thumper with a bmw badge. It’s not a great bike
>>28208292yes it is for its category
>>28208293Not really.
>>28208296not really what you retard? whats that table proving? half of those are useless enduros lmao
>>28208300>not really what you retard? whats that table proving? Fuck, sorry anon I didn't realize. Here www.ldaamerica.org/what-is-dyscalculia/ , I hope you can start getting help.
>>28208300Yeah and those are better than a gussed up tvs
>>28208308>betterin what? going through dirt? sureuseless and weak for everything else
>>28208315I have a version of the bike you dumb nigger, it’s an underwhelming machine. Going to a klr in the spring most likely.
>>28208324>underwhelming machinecompared to bigger powerful bikes, yes. that was intended you know, ever heard of categories?
>>28208324have fun on a retarded heavy klryour ass and back will for BMW comfort and premium feel
>>28208338It’s not premium at all. That’s how it’s marketed to the fucking jeets for some reason
>>28208335But it's not even the best in it's category. >>28208338Ah, so is it 2 trolls? I really don't understand the point of these people. Are they trying to drum up hate for the GS310? Are they trying to reverse psychology love for the GS310? Has the original OP disappeared an now copycats are just trying to force it into some sort of meme status? It can't be indian nationalism, otherwise there would be more love for the RE. These browns are just so confusing.
>>28208340name a more premium bike in that price range with touring and offroad capabilities that 310 hasthe discussion already happened here with a sane and reasonable and rare anon here >>28204023and here >>28204515>>28204935
>>28208343>But it's not even the best in it's category.so name a few that are better for touring and offroad and city and comfortable and has at least 35hpgo ahead
>>28208344>the discussion already happenedYeah, in like the previous 3 threads that have been posted in the last month. >>28208348See >>28208296, everything below the GS beats it on weight, HP/torque, price, and/or suspension. Why do you keep pretending the Husky, Kawasaki, REs, and Triumph don't exist? Why do you ignore the plethora of used options that'll give you better performance for the price that are out there? How fast are your highways, how fat are you, please stop sucking cock.
>>28208344Has nothing to do with the price range but calling premium is a sign you are a jeet cause that’s literally how they market it. Not much in the price range is premium at that point and that’s the point. No idea why you are going for “premium” instead of better bikes.
>>28208352>Why do you keep pretending the Husky, Kawasaki, REs, and Triumph don't exist?i dont have problem discussing these its not that im shilling BMWanyway>kawasakinot comfortable, very paved road biased, for some reason more expensive than BMW while not justifying whyalso its ferrings are not very protective against the wind like GS has>Himalayantoo heavy for its weak power, almost 200 kilogramsincredibly ugly and pajeet vibesbut yes its affordable and reliable (according to what people say)but its not cheapno tubelessbut yeah too heavy and too slow because of thatthey fucked up>svartpilen 401looks great, badass, powerful for its weightbut its strictly city bike, no wind protection for touring, no ground clearence and wheel size and suspension travel for offroad like BMWstrictly strictly city bike unfortunately but super fun just like 390 Duke cant do long travels on it like you can on BMW (albeit not so fast obviously)>Triumph 400xactually again very nice bike, but strictly for citytoo nakedtoo retro look (thats subjective)
I just cant get over the fact how much BMW mogs all the competitors in the looks departmentits just unreal what a gap
>>28208364You've yet to make a real argument for the GS310 over those other bikes. It has a lower power-to-weight ration then any of them. It has no factory option for spoked rims, demolishing any argument for better off-road perfromance from its higher ground clearance or suspension travel. You try to argue against the Versys' fairing when you haven't ridden any bike. If you want to be delusional like this fuck >>28208375 and think it looks nice then go right ahead. Just admit to yourself that looks and income are the only reasons you want it and that it's the only BMW you can afford. Just for the love of God, Vishnu, Buddha, or whatever fucking thirdworld thing you worship please stop posting new threads on your poobike.
>>28208379>You've yet to make a real argument for the GS310 over those other bikesi did, its the best all-rounder on that fucking listthe only real alternative on that list is Versys and only because it has 2 cylinders, everything else is better done on BMW>spoked rims>demolishing any argument for better off-road perfromance from its higher ground clearance or suspension travelso lol? are we splitting hairs now?all the others are literal city bikes, totally useless for both offroad and touringBMW covers that in a very modest but quality waystheres your another argument>haven't ridden any bikesource?>>28208379>think it looks nice then go right aheadit does look the best of all the listed, you are contrarian if you dont think that>Just admit to yourself that looks and income are the only reasons you want it and that it's the only BMW you can affordlooks are very important, yes, you know because im not retard and i will be riding it so i like to have things i find good lookingyou dont understand that or you are again being contrarian?what do you mean by income?its not about what i can affordI can afford brand new biggest GS and Ducatibut i dont aim for huge retarded bikes, simple ascurious how you didnt put KTM on your listanyway your whole argument against G310 GS is because you just hate anything manufactured in india and anything with a fancy logoyou think you are cool with boring dull jap bikes like every jap fanboyyou just parrot what other retards say, hating on european brands which are #1 performance biased and class and premium feeling and you think only poser boys ride those while actual deep thinkers and ones who "get" motorcycles go for jap bikes because muh moto gp shit badboy raceboy smalldick energy

>>28209171>quasi nationalism that OP seems to have for a specific model of BMWthis is what I hate about you fuckers hereyou act so ellitist and unfriendly for no reason than some perosnal issues OP is clearly friendly and humbly asking for advice, he is even kind of mocking the BMW calling it pajeet aryan, he acknowledges its not great bike but according to his other posts he did the research and seems to him BMW is all-rounder that thumper road/offroad categoryafter that the thread just derailed into india hate for no reason, as if all other brands are not assembled in fucking india or thailand or pakistan or china
>>28209179OP is a disingenuous piece of shit that has made this thread multiple times. Every time someone attempts to answer his questions he shits over other suggestions. He needs to shit or get off the pot, if he is convinced he's made the right choice then buy the bike and quit starting these threads. There are also many reasons to hate indian, thai, and chink made bikes (QC, relocation of jobs/workforce, parts availability, etc). Also get fucked, you ain't fooling anyone OP.

>>28200581>another thread again of a poojeet lover jizzing over a poojeet bike with badgewhore cred (BMW badge totally means its a 7 series on two wheels)I've ridden G310 and G310GS and they both feel like pieces of shit that cost way too much for what they arethe only real BMWs are atleast 650cc, just get a used 650 BMW adv bike otherwise you're just buying a cheaply made overpriced shitbox that are made for retards who love the badge
>>28209224nice arguments there you literal retardyeah im gonna trust a literal retard yep, not the actual sane people I know or youtubers that know shit and review them
>>28209243I've ridden G310s, F650GS, F800s, S1000s, R1200GS, R1150RS, had a Z300, had a TU250X, had a F650 Funduro, have an R1150GS, and ridden a number of 300ish CC bikes. The G310 just felt like a mediocre cheap bike with an annoyingly buzzy engineI just don't understand the point in spending BMW money on a slow jeet made bike when you can just get a lightly used 650 adv bike (which aren't super heavy) or some similar shit which will be far more comfortable for long rides, easy enough to handle in the city, and can still handle good enough offroad Smaller single cyl bikes just get annoyingly buzzy at freeway speeds, my 650 Funduro (also single) however felt fine and I was happy sitting at 110 for 4 hours on that thing.
>>28209270not to mention if you're going highway speeds on the 310 good luck trying to overtake anyone

>>28209275>not to mention if you're going highway speeds on the 310 good luck trying to overtake anyonei didnt realize im racing against other people to get to my comfy adventure weird
>>28200581Get Royal Enfield himalayan BS4, the Enfields in general have better torque in low revs than the GS. The BMW also has alloy wheels which obvs arent good for off roading.The himalayan will take you through anywhere trust me.
>>28209380>have fun falling down and being unable to pick up 250kg from the mud I guessmy F650 weighed 190 wet, which is not that much of a heavy bike if you're not a noodle armed faggot. Only 15kg more than the G310. Besides what are you planning on fucken doing on that thing, dirt bike trails?You keep talking about how you're going to want to road trip on it when a 300 is going to be shittier for long road trips than a 650 that'll sit more comfortably at highway speeds.>because you have small dicks thats why you go for bigger cars and bikesI drive a suzuki swift sport, it's got nothing to do with size and cock compensation or whatever stupid shitYou're so set on this piece of shit that you're insulting people that are trying to give you legit advice on bikes that would be better for what you've said you want to do (long trips, comfort and I assume light offroading)Legitimate question, have you ever owned a bike? Have you ridden a bike for more than an hour? How much experience do you have?
this nigga worrying so hard about his jeetbike being super offroad capable when he's probably gonna hit a gravel road once a year
>>28201144>it seems that most people here are japan fanboys>is it an american thing? >an absolute disregard for european brands or just too expensive?jap bikes and jap bike copies are more popular over the entire world outside of Europe, stop your obsession with Americans
>>28209397>outside of Europethe world outside of Europe doesnt matter, you are all shitskins
>>28209404>you are all shitskinsand yet you want a shitskin bike

>>28209389>F650thats like 20 years old bike lmaothe hell im gonna buy such a crapper from some cunt boomer like yourselfdie
>>28209389>Besides what are you planning on fucken doing on that thing, dirt bike trails?cant a man go for road trips without going fucking 150kmph?why is it unnaceptable to cruise 100 with G310? is that too slow , hurts the ego?>>28209389>when a 300 is going to be shittier for long road trips than a 650 that'll sit more comfortably at highway speeds.and fucking goldwing will be more comfortable than your 650whats your point?should we all switch to goldwings?
>>28209417You have two people who ride bikes who both have ridden this cheap poo bike telling you it’s shit. I don’t know what you want from people on here.
>>28209426and I welcome their opinionsdoes that mean its objectively true because 2 biased spergs commented on it here?you are too retarded to have a normal discussion like rare and few anons like this one >>28205067and when i actually put in the effort to answer to some biased faggots like here >>28208364i get replies of pajeet hate lol you see you are all bitches
>>28209413A jap bikes gonna be designed by the jap company, not a joint venture with a shitskin company>>28209414You didn't answer his question at the bottom there, you're a nobike with no experience, right? >>28209417>why is it unnaceptable to cruise 100 with G310?you can, it just sucks for it, small bikes are great for the city and commute, for big road trips not so much. I've had a ninja 300 which was a lot of fun in the city and rideable on the freeway but the vibration was just not good on the hands for long rides. >>28209431>and I welcome their opinionsYou clearly don't when you start calling them retards and insulting for not sucking off your precious dreambikeWhy are you even still making these threads when you've already convinced yourself to get one of these? You looking for attention? Just go and buy it already and report back in a month, no one's stopping you
>>28209431You have welcomed no opinions of the last couple of threads, just venerate a shit bike you have never ridden as a nobike jeet.
>>28209448>A jap bikes gonna be designed by the jap company, not a joint venture with a shitskin companyif you cared to read this thread you would see that jap bikes are not even competing this categorylike I said, only Versys 300 is in it>>28209448>You didn't answer his question at the bottom there, you're a nobike with no experience, right?literally god-emperor on yamaha mt-07, why does this even matter so much to you?retards cant even hold a convo on topic>ur a nobike>bigger bike goes faster did you know that why do you want that shitter thumper then?this is you>>28209448>I've had a ninja 300 which was a lotninja 300 is a strictly city bike, why were you surpried that it sucks for road trips?G310 GS is a totally different bike, way more comfortable and premium, and designed with touring in mindyou.just.go.slower.why the fuck is this so hard to understand>>28209448>You clearly don't when you start calling them retards and insulting for not sucking off your precious dreambike>>28209449>You have welcomed no opinions of the last couple of threads, just venerate a shit bike you have never ridden as a nobike je>conveniently ignores the posts where i put the effort and my reasoning behind what lead me to G310 GS and where i obviously unbiasedly talk about all the other bikes in the similar category and specs that I have and do still consider i guess its a sin to have a normal discussion here, its a sperg website across the boards ,not just /pol/

>>28210234I've got a 20 year old BMW with a boxer built by white men, thank you very much
>>28210247its so easy to spot you fucking retarded boomersjust die already ,both you and the most stupid engine type ever
>>28210250seethe jeet lol
>>28209651I wonder how is that KTM for roadtrip
Buying a BMW bike without a boxer or a 4 cylinder is like buying a BMW car with a 3 or 4 cylinder engineGay and retarded
>>28210304arent you dead yet grandpa?fuck off already with your shitty ridiculous engine
>>28210307>shitty ridiculous engineWrong, it's the white mans engine
>>28210304K75s and k100s seem like such neat bikes that are super reliable. I’m gonna keep an eye out for one.
>>28210316They're some of the best bikes BMW ever made
>>28210318Would you happen to know what to look for when buying one? Just a regular person who has kept on maintaining it good enough or do they have an issue that comes up?
>>28210324what issues can possibly come up from a million years old bike and a BMW on top of that
>>28210330Besides old rubber and seals I don’t know that’s why I’m asking. The seems like simple robust bikes that have good reputations at high mileage.
>>28210324Never owned one myself but just the same sort of shit as any old bike, make sure it's been maintained. They have ABS but I haven't heard too much of those causing problems, worst case scenario it can get repaired or just removed>>28210330Modern BMW is shit mate, it sounds boomer as fuck but they were genuinely better made in the past
>>28210307It's not even just the engine, the suspension set up on the bigger BMWs are amazing and are a beautiful thing to ride, but your stupid know it all ass wouldn't know about that
>>28210344I think they had some rougher years recently, but I’ve heard good things about the newer big Gs that are cutting weight and simplifying stuff. Guess it just comes from getting complacent from running shit.
Is OP trying to tank the reputation of BMW on this board or something? Looking over the thread I can't figure out his game. Is it some sort of weird guerrilla marketing thing for BMW or a psyop to get people to look at a different cheap entry level ADV/DS bike? Just a troll or is OP brain damaged, or is it honest to goodness thirdworld shitposting? The questions abound.
>>28210558Judging how he keeps shitting on people for riding and recommending perfectly good older bikes I think he's a just a dumb badgewhore kid who just got his licence
>>28210324Fuel tanks leak at the bottom seam if its had bad gas stored too long in it, you'll see the paint start to bubble around the back corners of the tank. Also if its been stored with old gas the rubber isolator around the fuel pump will crumble and clog the fuel pump when someone tries to fire it up, fuel injectors can also get stuck ABS pump will fail if the fluid is too old or the rubber brake lines have never been replacedRear shaft drive splines will rapidly wear out if they are not properly lubricated every 10k milesFind a good running example that's been cared for, the cost between that and a project is minimal.
>>28200581https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyRt8FUY4Dogo with CFMOTO, its the only way nowadays
>>28211119But that is Chinese.
>>28211283lol so? they literally make engines for germans and japsstereotype about "made in chinkland" is about to endunless euro and jap fags step up their game, which i hope they will
>>28204023>KTM 390 Adventure is a fake offroader street bike with a crap engineYou clearly have never done serious offroad and definitely are a newfag to bikes you retard, stfu.Also HQV is basically same bike as ADV and Duke 390, uses all the same components and its made by Bajaj factory.Now stick to cages and fuck off.
>>28210258Its a very good bike, even perfect for beginners who want to do roadtrips right from the get go, imo its probably the better pick of all 4 of them in the video, good speed, torque, mpg, decent tank capacity, its balanced on pretty much everything all that the other 3 end up lacking in something.The only con for KTM is as usual, the price.
>>28211283So it's better than Indian crap
>>28212563I would also tell people looking at KTM.adv/dual sports to check the model's service intervals before buying. But I'm guessing the 390 is closer to the old 690 R intervals than insane shit like the 450 exc.
>>28212544why such hostility without any arguments? cant we talk it out
>>28212602>check the model's service intervalsthis is interesting, but what does that mean? beginners definitely dont know about thatdo you mean as in the engine,design,frame being closer to some older model vs new model of their bigger bikes?what is 690 R and 450 that you are comparing and why 450 insane?
>>28212831He means the time the manufacturer recommends to do an oil change, the 450 oil change is "insane" because its an enduro bike with a competition focus, the 690 R is an enduro bike for offroad as is, not designed superlight or with a need to do maintenance on it pretty much every time you are going to ride it, different focus after all.390 ADV has pretty much same service as the Duke, on some places they even call it "390 Duke service" on the receipt since they share many parts in common too, that is with 2019 ADV onwards with up to the Duke 2023 model, 2024 Duke changed the engine, so it could be that it uses different filters, but I don't think its the case, since the idea of KTM has always been to sell you service & maintenance pretty much everywhere in the world, besides shoving Motorex oil down your ass at a steep price (Ipone oil is still better)
>>28212831>>check the model's service intervals>this is interesting, but what does that mean? beginners definitely dont know about thatr u retarded? it's in your fuckin owner's manual, every kind of vehicle has recommended service intervals for regular maintenance items
>>28214136how come they didnt put a 2 cylinder engine into 390 adventure?I think only Kawasaki did that with their Versys 300 and they still kept the weight and frame small and light
>>28214689>The 2 cylinder is better than 1 memeNot really true, if you still have a shit design of an engine, it will perform like shit no matter what. Single cylinder is easier to do service on, the more moving parts means more points of failure besides weight, and for adventure bikes its much better to have an easier bike to maintain as a whole, specially when you end up with a problem on the middle of nowhere and get it to a mechanic who has novice experience on bikes since he usually works with trucks.Japs are just kinda like germans with engines sometimes, they just like to overcomplicate shit when a simpler design can give the same or better results, besides making the price go higher due of more use of materials and R&D.The KTM engine its pretty good desu, 390 ADV has a very responsive torque and you can keep the RPM on it quite high even, and when you reach a "cruise control" speed on it to get the best mpg (liter x km), engines is around 6 to 7K RPM. Duke 390 2024 model upped the engine slightly from 373cc to 399cc, so it's very likely that the newer 390 ADV will use the same, supposedly it comes out this year, besides also a 390 Enduro version as well supposedly, both of them now have closer body resemblance to the 690 R, so the 390 ADV wont have a similar Duke look, specially on the lights, kind of a shame since those lights work really well.Also IMO, 2 cylinder engines under 600cc is pretty much redundant, it won't be that different vs a 1 cylinder bike, at most it will vibrate a little less, similar case you could say with SOHC vs DOHC engines, it will matter with the design itself more than what it uses, more doesn't mean its better by default.
>>28214730>specially when you end up with a problem on the middle of nowhere and get it to a mechanic who has novice experience on bikes since he usually works with trucks.thats kind of my pointits a small "adventure" bike , which is lets be honest more street and road oriented anyway so you will not be in a middle of nowhere anywaywith small tank especially you are bound to an offroad that is always near a town or inbetween town traveling or even longer distances but still sticking to the road and in area of towns, gas stations,etc.as for the new KTM, it looks like they are moving towards offroad more this time, it looks like the ferring will not be touring oriented to protect you a bit from the wind which current KTM 390 adventure also kind of lacks compared to the Kawasaki Versys 300 as for the lights, they were always ugly praying mantis looking pieces of shit and I laugh when I think that the new ones will have an even uglier lights which I thought was impossible but leave it to KTM to prove you wrong on that 2 cylinder puts less straing, damages less, sounds better and has less vibrations on freeway its not something to disregard regardless of cc
>>28214689probably cos 390 adventure is an afterthought, Their 390 single is what they had for a small engine and they didnt want to go through the effort of developing a brand new engine.Same reason why the Versys has a 300, it's what they had in the Ninja/Z 300
>>28200581It's a consumer good not a marriage you mong. Buy it. If like, keep, if not, sell then buy something else. You cannot reasonably expect /dbt/ to cover every make and model so why are you here instead of on saaar venues?Bikes are just consumer goods. There is no perfection tho you can modify them after getting some experience so you know what suits you.
>>28207518>gookbikes are reliable and thats it, they are boring and dull and look like shitYou don't look at them while riding. "Mog" is a teenage bitch term. Are you a teenage bitch? Just buy what you want or even better, keep overthinking it. Why do you even want a motorbike when your thought processes are so nigtarded?
>>28214730>when you end up with a problem on the middle of nowhere and get it to a mechanic who has novice experience on bikes since he usually works with trucks.Serious people do our own wrenching. Car and truck mechanics tend to be too ham-fisted when they first wrench motorcycles.
>>28214745i blame capitalism and greedy fags like BMW KTM and japs for all this mess in the medium adventure categorythats why chinks and jeets are owning it now
>>28214743>its a small "adventure" bike , which is lets be honest more street and road oriented anyway so you will not be in a middle of nowhere anywayFrom where I am, there are very long roads where you can't find any service for many many miles, usually on those trips you carry an external gas tank in other to make it, and many have done trips like this on 390 ADV and similar type of bikes.As for the new models, it just depends of the goal or drivestyle you are looking into, considering that now there will be a 390 enduro and 2 version of the adventure, it will be similar to 690 R vs 790 type of choice. As for the lights, it will be more akin to the Tenere 700 from what I've seen on some pics.As for the windshield, you can get aftermarket ones, and that's also a goal for KTM anyways, to sell you more shit.>>28214752>Serious people do our own wrenching.True, but not always you will be able to do it yourself and will need a hand when it happens.A true motorcycle driver should know to do it themselves indeed, so if you can do a mechanics course, do so. That way when the truck mechanic aids your ass you can make sure he doesn't fuck it up.
>>28214754300-400cc adventure bike is a bit of a weird segment because they're worse offroad than a dual sport while being way shittier for long distance highway riding than a proper mid size (650ish) adv bike which is still capable enough for light-mid offroadIf you're gonna want to do serious offroad then dual sport300-400cc adventure bikes are okay at best at everything, great at nothing
>>28214810isnt KTM bankrupt? why are we even talking about a bankrupt shitty company and brand?>>28214815300-400cc adv bikes are definitely way better for offroad than huge heavy ones no questiondepending on the quality they can also be comfortable for long cruisingthe trade off being you go slower than on a bigger advbut being nimble, waaaay more cheaper, lighter, cheaper for maintainance and fuel consumption than bigger adv bikes is IMO at least a worthy trade off i only see faster freeway cruising as a positive thing of bigger adv bikes, nothing elseand since we are not fucking racing to get to the goal since we are on comfy adventure (right?) then we should not care that much about how fast we go over freewaysI really think smaller adv bikes are the hot thing now, people demanded that for a long time and nobody truly delivered until CFMOTO 450mt I hope this will motivate faggots like BMW, KTM and japs to start innovating and making smalled adv bikes as a main objective and not as an afterthought
>>28214826I'm not talking about sitting on the freeway at 150kmhSitting for 3+ hours at the basic speed limit of 100kmh, nothing special, with a small single or ptwin buzzing away at ~7000rpm gets annoying, and if you want to be sitting well under the limit for lower rpm, at the mercy of neurotic retards on the road who are going to sit right up your ass trying to get you to go faster then be my guest.Them being lighter also means that wind is more of a factor. If it's a very windy day you're going to get blown around all over the place, and having a truck pass by going the opposite direction sucks shitEven going from 650 to my 1200GS (dont go on about how it's fat and heavy, I am aware) was an unbelievably difference in comfort on the freeway having an engine sitting at a lower rpm and a fatter more stable platform to sit on meant that I didn't feel miserable and sore getting off the bike after riding for 6 hours. Going from small adv bike to mid size isn't that different>I really think smaller adv bikes are the hot thing now, people demanded that for a long time and nobody truly delivered until CFMOTO 450mt You say that but honestly I feel like here in Australia I don't see them that often, talking anecdotally though because I can't find sales stats on adv bikes. Most bikes I see in the outback are atleast 650ccreally depends realistically how often you're actually going to go offroad, and I'm talking actual offroad, not just dirt road. If you're going to spend 90% of the time on the freeway and 10% on a dirt/gravel road it seems like a no brainer to me that a midsize is a better choice.450MT isn't that light by the way, 195kg wet is kinda on the heavier side for what it is.
>>28214855>Going from small adv bike to mid size isn't that differentby that I meant that the difference is noticeable when going from small > mid in a similar way to going mid > large in terms of road comfort
>>28214855but thats the thingthe only thing they have is comfort on freewayat that point just get a car everything else is shittier on a huge adv bikegood lack getting that shit up from a mud or bushes nimble = funheavy = slow and no fun in all settings except for the long freeways or flat long dirt roadsthe real offroad is ridiculous on those huges shits and most of areas they cant even go through where a Honda CRF300 or KTM 390 Adventure would easily pass throughsame goes for city, smaller is better than a huge adv fat wide shitteralso for Europe, smaller adv bikes are better option by farthis is not america or australia where we have to travel 1000 kilometers to a gas station we have walkable cities
>>28214887you're acting like a vstrom 650 or KLR650 is a 350kg behemoth210~kg isn't super heavy unless you're a 5'2 manlet with noodle arms
>>28214887>>28214900In fact have you ever ridden a bike that weighs around 200-220kg? They're not that hard to ride even in the city if you're not an unco retard
>>28214900its not about weight its about weight distribution, balance and weight/power ratioits not the same thing handling and picking up a BMW GS and a shitty KLR
>>28214946It is a waste of time. There is no talking about cars and bikes with amerimutts and australian drunktards. All they understand is bigger = better. Literal consumerist golems with no walkable cities.Uncultured swines.
>>28200581there used to be such cool small-displacement bikes. Its a shame its exclusively cheap beginner-bikes made in third world countries nowadays.
>>28214983interesting how people tend to still hate the jeets and chinks for making them and not their own countrymen who sold them out and moved production to india and china to rip off both parties
>>28214985Cause only thirdies like small road going bikes. They don’t make a lot of sense in larger markets that can afford more bike. Better to buy a decent larger dual sport and use that instead
>>28215007heh retarded microdick amerimutt see this >>28214950
>>28215033Go live in your own fantasy world nobike
>>28215007Dumbass
>>28214983I wouldn't an SDR but I would hug someone that would give one a home.
>>28214826>isnt KTM bankrupt? why are we even talking about a bankrupt shitty company and brand?afaik, 50% of it is owned by Bajaj now who makes their lower cc bikes, and those are the ones selling the most today, though I would say its the Dukes selling 10:1 against an ADV model.Also 400cc bikes are usually considered a better pick than the 600cc ones mostly due of weight if you want to go into offroad more seriously, and since they are a bit smaller, they are easier to get on some places that you should be bringing the usual enduro bike, they are the jack of all trades pretty much, can do a bit of everything.>>28214855>Hitting the freeway on them for 3+ hours make them bad vs a 650True, but if you really are going on the freeway for that long, you simply shouldn't be using an ADV bike at all, best would be a cruiser, and if you NEED the offroad bike, you just load them on a truck, like all the people that got enduro bikes usually do.I think the more suited part of the 600-700cc bikes are long dirt roads trips with some offroad sections where you are carrying the extra fuel attached to it as part of the luggage, yet you are also probably going with some buddy who travels on a truck with his gf/wife carrying all the luggage on the back seats, besides being someone who can give you a hand if shit goes sour mechanics wise.
>>28215231yeah I think 400cc is good enough for long travel as wellpeople do it all the time with KTM 390 adv, himalayan 450, G310 GS...
>>28215231>True, but if you really are going on the freeway for that long, you simply shouldn't be using an ADV bike at all, best would be a cruiseSure, but even taking offroad out of the equation entirely, if you decide to hit some real twisty roads a adv will do it way better than a cruiser.>if you NEED the offroad bike, you just load them on a truck, like all the people that got enduro bikes usually doSure, but I think most people doing that don't like riding on the road at all and prefer staying offroad. It's a completely different thing doing a big trip completely on motorcycle and driving in a fucken truck with a trailer.Dunno, it's just my opinion that mid size adv bikes are the kings of doing everything good enough>>28215033>>28214950do you realise how much of an immature retard you sound like
>>28215583>mid size adv bikesthat category does not exist (yet)well its starting with CFMOTO 450MT (kind of)
>>28215598650-800 is midsize, wtf are you talking about
>>28215598>>28215602450 I suppose fits in the midsize category aswell but the segment already exists
>>28215602>650-800 is midsize>200kg+ is midsizeretard
>>28215611If 200kg is a full weight adv bike then what category does a 230+kg GS, KTM 1290, 1260 multistrada, or Africa Twin fit into?
>>28215622everything over 200 is full weight heavy fat piece of shit that you can only cruise on freewayits shit in the cityits shit on offroadwhy is this so hard to understand
>>28215622those are just cruisers you sit on top of
>>28215231>Also 400cc bikes are usually considered a better pick than the 600cc ones mostly due of weight if you want to go into offroad more seriouslyThat's an artificial limit due to regulations.If you look at the history of winning Dakar rally bikes, the engine capacity was always increasing until they limited it to 450cc.
>>28215622Actual adv bikes, manlets not applied
>>28215627You never answered the question of if you've ever ridden a bike that weighs around 200kg, so I assume you haven't so your opinion is irrelevant
>they argue with amerilards of course they need a 1000cc bike and 5000cc cars to move their fat golem bodies around their retarded non-walkable cities and wast empty space between A and B
>>28215645>seething AGAIN about americansAgain, do you realise how much of an immature retard you sound like
