R7 is actually an okay bike
uhh?
>>28622371First for>road 6
>>28622370>Honda couldn't make 100 good piston rings for Toyota>Yamaha makes the whole engines
You will never be a real R series. You have no I4, you have no V4, you have no revs. You are a commuting roleplayer twisted by tiktok and youtube into a crude mockery of Yamaha's perfection.All the validation you get is twofaced and halfhearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your friends laugh at your paralLEL twin performance behind closed doors.Eventually it'll be too much to bear, you'll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They'll bury you with a headstone marked with your engine name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know an MT-07 is buried there.This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
>>28622384>road6
>>28622371reposten because i didnt see the new thread: >>28622383
I hate waiting on dealership repairs and insurance. Never ever again.
>>28622383>Is 2200€ a good price?Lol you can almost hear he accent and this song playing in the background https://youtu.be/92ydUdqWE1g?si=EBE_BM4i8eg_D9cL
>>28622386Correct.
>>28622379OKAY stands for:OutstandingKickingAssYamaha
>>28622399Thanks onsa.
give it to me straightare jap bikes just a poor peoples cope?in theory if everybody had money, would they almost always opt out for european motors?
>>28622394euro is the white man's currency, even if those whites dont speak the queens english
>>28622403Sochiro H O N D A died so that I may ride.
>>28622406ok but are you a poorfag?
2200€ is more than my monthly waget. europoor
>>28622408but at least you own your house or apartment
>>28622410housing is prohitively expensive, i only "own" a house because my grandparents died many years ago and my parents were generous enough to let me live in there
>>28622403Even when Japs weren't the first they did everything better eventually, see: RC51, SV650, etcDucuckti just became somewhat competitive like two years ago and mostly because of the dumb rules like unified ECU
>>28622402You're welcome!
>>28622379>>28622399>>28622402More like OvertKikeAffirmingYahwehLAR7P was designed to sell using the legendary status of the R6, under any other circumstances it would have been called the MT-07R, but the ultra jews running the show at Yamaha knew it wouldn't sell as well as selling out their R series name for a quick buck.
Does my bike look okay with the windshield on?
>>28622421R3 was introduced in 2015, years after a Ninja300 and CBR300. So there's nothing wrong with the R7 name they all do it.
>>28622426It looks like it has saggy engine
>>28622426windshields by themselves are mega dorky.
>>28622403No I would buy harley or indian over it hell I'd pay for Buell.
>>28622386>he feels threatened every time an r7/r9 gets next to him at a stop lightlololol
Is it worth waiting on repairs to finish and selling the rebel in perpetual parts wait or should I trade it to the same dealer it is stuck at?
>>28622443Idk dude need more info. what parts/work are you waiting on?
>>28622427R3 is jewish as well, BUT there are two reasons its not as completely money grubbing. Firstly, there was no true low CC racing series bike it was attempting to steal glory from to sell more bikes. Secondly, lower CC bikes come with the expectation of being beginner bikes. R3's name is bad, its just that the LAR7P is the most jewish move imaginable, if they pulled a KTM and locked out features behind a paywall it might as well be renamed the Raphael7.
>>28622451I lowsided 4 months ago, the exhaust, brake lever, exhaust holder, mirror and brake pedal are broken. They told me honda would get parts fast but somehow we are here, never should have used insurance or taken this to a ridenow dealer.
>>28622460>lowsided>used insurance >dealerseppuku is the only honorable option
>>28622426Just terrible. Ditch it. You'll look much cooler with bug guts all over your visor and chest instead.
>>28622462I didn't know any better since it is my first bike and first accident.
>>28622388Haven’t seen you in a while, was beginning to think you left. Happy you’re still around <3
>>28622475damn probably should have asked here first. Did you give the shop the insurance check already?
>>28622456You have no idea what you're talking about.
>>28622481Yeah two months ago. And I did ask in the thread, anons back then didn't answer the question.
>>28622482I accept your LAR7P concession.
>>28622488>Yeah two months agooof. Yeah you're kind of screwed if you handed the money over already.
>>28622427Also the racing varients of the ninja is a ZX, notice the 400ZX is a real supersport. CBR is none racing, the RR is the racing varient. Only Yamajew using their racing name for paralLEL twin commuter bikes. By far the money hungriest of the Nip brands.
>>28622437>indianTrash
>>28622421>the legendary status of the R6,Really based but r7 is good, anything Yamaha makes is good they're a good brand. R7 kinda sounds like a r1 btw.
I'm starting to suspect this place sucks more now just because everyone is trying to ragebait everyone, like what are you even trying to accomplish here? I rarely see the chadposters post anymore let alone the real dank memers>Indifferent ibserv
>>28622536US working hours get pretty annoying except at lunch time.
>>28622536>indifferent observer*
>>28622535>anything Yamaha makes is goodBrand worship is for brainless consumers, LAR7P is a commuter bike that has nothing to do with the R series and they intentionally canceled their real supersport the R6 just to trick people into buying LAR7Ps. Notice that Kawi doesn't run around calling the Ninja 250, 400, or 650 a ZX? Only Yamajew has become so money grubbing that they sell out their own racing brand for a quick buck.
>>28622537Ah fuck OK I didn't think of that. The unemployed mucking things up makes ALOT of sense. Call me whatever but I just think Goading aggression from strangers (uncreatively, pro-trolls exempt) is mega gay
The best part is that the copers can't even say they canceled the R6 because it was too expensive to produce, because Yamaha are still making R6's even right now, its just only for track lulmao. The only reason they took the R6 off the market was to screw their customer base with the LAR7P, through using the reputation of the R6 so as to present the expectation that it would be an equal or replacement for it.
>>28622551you do realize the r6 was taken off the market because of the euro 5 emissions right?
>>28622555No it wasn't, every single current manufacturer knows how to dodge emissions by just detuning with the ECU/muffler and doing wink wink nudge nudge with their customer base. It was taken off the market to sell more LAR7Ps, and guess what? The slight of hand worked, its selling like hotcakes to tiktokers who don't know better. Have to wonder if the other brands aren't taking notes, maybe Honda will start selling paralLEL twin CBR700RRRR's for extra profits. Anything for a buck these days, Nips must be desperate now that the EU brands are making better 1000's.

>>28622394https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWa8uPwAV0E>>28622404not this guy, he's been asking for weeks whats the best bike to ride for uberjeets
>>28622536>because everyoneits about 2-3 guys who are on discord together, and it only happens during the hours (NORMAL) euros and (NORMAL) americans should be sleeping I know for a fact, one of them is the same guy who shits up /mhg/ on /vg/ because his type of baits are exactly the same, as well as his posting style jannies need to clean it up
>>28622557Japanese economy has been in free fall for a while. Also, the US posture towards international trade hasn't made anyone feel like throwing development money towards products for the USA.
>>28622384Great choice>>28622379Only if you like dicks
>>28622385>Honda couldn't make 100 good piston rings for ToyotaDoes Toyota make engines for F1? Didn't think so. Honda shits on Toy-ota every single day.
>>28622552>unemployedNah it's the EMployed shitposting from their shitty white-collar job. Lunch time is ok because they are down the street at Hooters or Pink Taco or BJ's or wherever they get their krill.
New colors are dropping already, but when will the good stuff be revealed?
>>28622576>white collar jobSounds gay
>>28622427R3 is honest, R7 is not. R7 is a deceptive lie.
>>28622583thats the retard trolling ignore him quite literally contrarian on every point "people are shitposting from their job, and not while theyre on lunch"actual subhuman just trying to sow division
>>28622403BMWs are Ducs are cool, but can they beat Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha? I don't think so.
>>28622511Well not ""my"" money. I have like a 300 dollar deductible on that 2.3k(the repair order sheet is comedy) repair.>>28622515Yet I'd still take a scout over a lot of euro bikes
>>28622443its a 300cc cruiserwill anyone even buy italso, thats what you get for buying an indian made bike
>>28622592I mean, did you hand the shop the check from the insurance pay out? If so it's probably too late to back out and you are stuck with them finishing the work. Are you trying to just sell it or get a different bike?
>>28622595Rebel is Thailand made. Yes I know they are in a boarder skirmish.>Will anyone buy a honda rebelIt's an entry level bike, I put it up for $2200 in NC and it will move because I have a title and it wven runs after a crash.
>>28622403japs design their bikes to be bulletproof, because they know you wont keep to the regular maintenance schedules, and they'll have much longer lifespans/part life compared to euros krauts make their bikes to work to their maintenance schedules, and if you dont adhere to them, you might kill your bikepersonally, I prefer the jap way, some people like the kraut way ultimately, you're not a professional racer, so it doesnt really matter, because nobody here will ever get the maximum potential out of their bike, so just buy what you like and what looks cool to you
>>28622566>>28622576I mean, jannies be damned. We should just set the example yanno? Like, just act on the virtue of speaking out on our passion of the two wheels. Maybe I'm too optimistic, but it sucks that the riders with real insight just don't got any incentive to effortpost when it's just squiddicksucks and trolls filling up the board.We've come full circle shaming anons who wear gear, if that isn't a grim sign idk what is.
>>28622599>Thailand madewith chinese outsourced partsand indian labourers who undercut thai wages
>>28622588Idc about that. I just don't want a boring office job. Sounds miserable >>28622592Scout wasnt a very fun binge to ride.
>>28622602>We've come full circleonce again, no WE havent, its quite literally 2-3 schizos on discord, shitting on everything and everyone all of the time being contrarianI've never met a single biker in my entire life who's not had time for a fellow rider, even at the snootiest harley bar, pulling up on a vespa they've had time for methe only people that act like this are nobike faggots, coming to the thread to troll
>>28622600>because nobody here will ever get the maximum potential out of their bikeSmall bore chads win again!
>>28622598Considering selling it to the dealer that is holding it, and yes the insurance cut the shop a check already. If they don't Have sinple parts like this by the three month mark I would rather buy a new bike to ride after 5 months than sit on it more than half of a year potentially.
>>28622608sorry buddy, but youre never gonna pull a stoppie on that c90
>>28622557>the slight of hand workedHello Saar
>>28622590>can they beat Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha?S1k, RSV4, and Panigale are all better than any of the Nip 1k bikes. Nips got caught sleeping while EU pushed forward.
>>28622595Entry level bikes sell like hot cakes anon.
>>28622602>shaming anons who wear gearYet its the reddit ATGATT faggots who spend every second post screeching about le evil squids and commenting on lack of gear?
>>28622618made in Japan entry bikes, sure. Turd world built bikes during a recession with winter about to start are less desirable.
>>28622571> Great choiceI actually wanted to get something a bit sportier since I remember how great my Dunlop Q5S’ were on my R3 but based on last years math I’ll probably have this on until around March and it’ll see a fair bit of rain knowing my luck
I bought an airbag vest and never use it. Am I retarded?
>>28622625>Jap made>StarterWhat bikes even still are.>Turd world built bikes during a recession with winter about to start are less desirable.I live in the south and no one cares about third world unless the brand is third world from personal experience.
>>28622632Hopefully without subscription for use.
>>28622403The only motorcycles that the japs don’t make the best versions of are cruisers, which Americans make the best versions of. If we’re being honest the best adv is either the v strom or the pan America too, and the GS is europes last hope at having the top of class bike in some category >>28622426I think it’s handsome but windshields are polarizing >>28622615Lmfaoing
>>28622638it's not and easily refillable
>>28622632yah. I bought the Helite backpack and I don't ride without it.Irony is I don't like it as a backpack. Too many pockets, too much material.
>>28622641Not too bad then
>>28622426I like that style of windshield because it doesn't ruin the lines of the bike.
>>28622645that's why I got a vest (motoairbag). bit bulkier than the helite vest but i'd rather wear a normal backpack
>>28622640>LmfaoingWhat is there to laugh about, an Aprillia RSV4 is cheaper than any nip 1k and comes with a minimum extra 20 horses. >le Italian reliabilityGet with the times old man.
>>28622411something that americans will never have so you already have a big headstart
>>28622657>Get with the times old man.You're right, no one makes anything reliable anymore, so italian bikes are just as reliable as the rest.
>>28622640>best adv is either the v strom or the pan Americayoure fucking retarded, have never ridden an adv, and clearly know NO adv ridersGS1250 > GS1300 > GS1200 > Tiger > Tenny is the objective tier list atm
>>28622657jesus christ nobody can compete with italian design and aestheticsmy god the most beautiful and unique motorcycles2nd are KTM Europe is where is , was and will class and culture and aesthetics be, forever
>>28622662Cb500x then last being ktm and you also have both popular beginners
>>28622652I can un-zip the backpack from the vest, and wear a different backpack over it. I mostly picked that model because it's one size fits all, and I knew I was going to lose a lot of weight on Zepbound.>>28622652>motoairbagI like, but can't get them here in Amerika
>>28622667America * ftfy
i just love small weight and manuverability over lot of cc and all that shitthe things i can do with my KTM 390 Adventure , 1300 GS and Tenere and other fat heavy shits can only dream of, fat fucking pigs
>>28622665Correct. Anyone still sucking off the Nips is stuck in the last decade. KTM rule the dirt world, Aprillia/Ducati/BMW the sport. All the EU brands are missing is a true 600cc supersport. Aprillia 600 is just a better verison of the R7
>>28622670That dream is gone. It's Amerikkka now.
>the orange retard is coping @28622672
So far ive learned>theives dont steal the r7>theives will steal the r3Even the theif knows whats in demand, theyll steal your r3 within the first 24 hours of stealership transfer to ownership if youre a nobike displacelet
>>28622670Amisrael*
>>28622675>KTM rule the dirt worldFor MX sure. If you're talking ADV/dual sport, I still see more Tauregs and CRF300s than 890s or 390s. That 890 is a fucking monster performance machine though, holy shit.
>>28622682people be hating on r7s pike crazy
>>28622713where do u see them? in your local shithole?
>>28622713If Bajaj fixes the reliability of 790 and 890 and made the bikes cheaper, they can maybe kill T7. Bajaj will do no such thing sadly.
>>28622718Nah, motocamping or OHV parks. My local shithole is a large US city, and I mostly see the giant ass BMWs in city limits. Probably because of fucking "Long Way Around".
>>28622717Piss twins were only supposed to ever be 2 smokes or adventurr bikes but SOVL twins expressly do that job better anyways
>>28622725Ain't no fucking way you're going to get an 890 down to a T7 price. Not with that engine and suspension.
>>28622620Do you even hear yourself. Like, truly. Gel on what you're pushing dude. Imho there is nothing wrong advocating for good gear. Infact the immoral approach is advocating or holding water for squids. I do agree there are annoying dudes who will scream at you taking a picture next to a bike without gear, that's cringe but those are just bad apples man.>>28622606I'll take your word that it's a small group.
>>28622727thats not reflecting the reality correctlyamerican market and taste is different than europeanhere in europe, jap bikes are not that popular, even in poor countries BMW reigns supreme, then Italian bikes and then KTMin europe we are not obsessed about jap bikes and cars like americans are
>>28622739>jap bikes are not that popularI haven't been in Europe in over a decade, so times have changed. But you guys used to get cool shit like Transalp, the KLE, and the Hornet that either sold very poorly here or we flat ass never got.
>>28622739>here in europe, jap bikes are not that popularyoure a charlatan and a fraudyoure most likely brownfrom aberdeen to athens, japs bikes dominate europe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKYsBAO7IYs
>>28622734>Do you even hear yourself.Yeah, gear isn't going to save you from smashing into a steel wall, aka cagies. The only thing gear does is prevent road rash, maybe some strains, its not going to stop blunt trauma from smashing your bones into pieces or internal bleeding. If you aren't into turbo squidding on super sports then its fucking pointless for the vast majority of riders. If you are so scared of being on a bike, then just go back to the cuckcage life; riding has risks, no one needs a proxy mom/dad screeching to them about safety on the internet. Shit is beyond CRINGE.

>>28622786It's just because the name "hornet" is trade marked in the states. It was still sold here just with slightly different names. We got the hornet 600 just renamed 599, and the 919 as well
But seriously I am trying to stay positive about my rebel repair, I have some excuse to trade for a cb300(because I just like it) or upgrade in the worst case scenario because fuck me 6 months without being able to ride sucks ass.Idk if my plan is really fucking retarded since I need at least 2k from trafe in the make it make sense.>>28622780Low cc guy too who also cannot.

>>28622841sad to hear that anon.My parents where super happy i got my license even if a bit late,they both used to ride. i was just on the phone with them and they said they even sent me a little gift for the new husqvy and that they tried to time it for this weekend so that it arrives when i'll actually go take the bike home and to not buy side bags because they want to buy them for me so that if i want to adventure like them or travel i have a good set of soft luggage i can use.What was the argument about?

What is the current king of off road bikes?
Please be nice to me, Honda.
>>28622997JEJ
>>28622814I assumed they meant modern.
>>28622820well well, check out the city slicker and his fancy german motorcycle
>>28622946nobody likes you.
>>28622841My parents aren't me. They didn't approve either but they also realized that they can't live my life and what they find fun isn't what I find fun. Plus it helped that I'm pretty sure my dad was a big shovelhead aficionado back in the day but doesn't admit it because he had to quit because of being fat.
>>28622975waffle house biker gang
>>28622946Everyone loves you.
>>28622946i love ktm but im never paying those prices for one. yahama and honda are right there.
>>28623009>>28623013aw u guyssss>>28623014is it really that overpriced when it gives you the tech from the futurenot to mention design and aesthetics>>28623008my motorcycle is made in india
>>28622998What discipline?
>>28623024>is it really that overpriced when it gives you the tech from the futureIt may be tech from the future but it will be everyone's tech in 1-2 years and at half the price, too
>>28622426looks good
>>28623024well la-dee-da Mr. Gucci Seat
>>28622841my mom was against it but she got used to it.my dad just wanted to get me bigger bikes. Hes the reason I have a tenny no instead of a crf250L.
>>28623043my seat is just skin off of a dead sheep i found by the road
Has anyone here ordered parts that are back ordered?How long did it take you to get them?
>>28623051what kind of parent pushes their own kid into bigger bikes?do they want to get rid of you if you know what i mean?
>>28623055depends on the part. usually the vendor has a lead time listed on the product page or you can email them and ask.
I wonder how annoying and tedious it would be to rebuild this transmission. $2,000 for a beater hotrod doesn't sound too bad.
>>28623055depends what you're getting and who fromindia and chinks batchmake their parts, so maybe you get lucky and theyre going into production now, maybe youre SoL like rebel300anon or shroomerrebel300anon has been waiting 2 months for his parts because he needs genuine Hoonder, and I think shroomer was near 3 monthsif only shroomer was here to tell us, instead of banned for 6 years
>>28623055I've been waiting for a month for a pair of handlebars because they were $20 cheaper, and they still won't get here until the end of the month. I should have just picked it up locally and paid the extra $20.
>>28623060a clever one riding a 125 is way harder, and less safe than riding a 600
>>28623060my dad is a engine head himself. He sees just his own child in me. He also sees how responsible I ride. 100k km on bikes and no serious accidents. Serious accidents mostly happen with weekend warriors on piss missiles. I just commute and ride offroad for fun.
>>28623066See if you can get parts, and if so do it. I haven't fucked with (had to fuck with) my transmission at all in almost ten years of riding it, but my Vegas has a 106 and I fucking love it. Very reliable on the whole but Victory got the axe a while back and parts are noticeably drying up.
>>28623079The most dangerous situation I came into when I was going from my motorcycle to my stupid fast moped with shit brakes and suspension. The superior engineering over time of motorcycles is also such a blessing. You don't get to appreciate that if you never rode an oldtimer.
>>28622986But Yautja are cool.
>>28623086Oh, nice. I didn't know anybody in /dbt/ had a Victory. >part availabilityRoger that. Thanks for the input. I'm gonna see if anybody is selling transmission stuff.
>>28623075explain how lol
>>28623079>piss missile>Be at intersection>Look over to my left and see Mr. Bean looking motherfucker in a suit and half face helmet on a liter bike, also waiting on a red light while his opposing lanes turn left>He's grinning like an idiot while rev bombing the shit out of it>He accidentally lets out the clutch full throttle>The bike launches out from under him faster than an F18 off a carrier on it's way to liberate oil from the Middle East>He somehow still standing there, minus his pants>The bike bisects a Rav 4 with a family inside as cleanly as a shonen protagonist's katana
>>28623060my dad said to learn how to ride with a little sumo and get used to have a tall bike where i can't flat-foot with even a single feet, then when ready with a tall but light bike i could get whatever i want since any other heavier bike will probably be shorter and thus easy and i should get an F700/F800 GS because rotax twin is second best engine or a BMW r1200r because boxer twin is actually the best engine.Mom says i should get a small 400/500 ccs modern classic like the triumph scrambler 400/RE guerrilla or an XSR700 because scrambler looking bikes are coolest, the XSR ideally in the vintage yellow livery or getting the tank painted to look like the yellow livery.Back before i even got my license she was pushing for me to get it and buy a duke because it's so aggressive and cool lookingBoth are really happy about my svart as i said before. dad because LC4 is good engine and husqvarna knows how to make real bikes (he had a 701 enduro as his solo bike) and mom because it's a scrambler looking bike
I still feel like I wanna trade my bike in. I'm torn lads.
>>28623108>husqvarnadont you mean KTMyou are our bitch
>>28623113As much as I hate to recomnend trading a bike, you will get more use from the box of dildoes.

>>28623102and you let him jump on the back and rode off into the sunset, then he claimed it was stolen and got a full refund?
>>28623119For another bike I mean. Not get rid of it. Got me a dualsport, don't do much off road at all. Was looking at the new eliminator.
>>28623122delusional
>>28623135nobike retardanyone thats ever ridden a small cc and mid/large cc knows its an objective fact that small cc bikes are harder and worse to ride
>>28623139NTA, I did not find the tiny ass Honda 150 harder to ride than my DR, but maybe I need to go back and try again.
>le its easier to ride a military jet than a car because it has more power :)))
>>28623132The Eliminator looks pretty cool. 450cc though. I would need to test ride it to see if I liked how it felt at highway speed.
>>28623099NTA but brakes, suspension, being planted, radial tires and you can't speed as much in city spaces
>its easier to ride a 1300 cc 250kg motorcycle in the traffic because it has le more power and big boy tires than a moped
>>28622809but anon, what about a jap bike made in italy? >pic related

>>28623180you can buy used bikes you know.
any recommendations for a small-ish pillion bag? I want the buckles to be underneath the rear seat so it's more permanently affixed to the bike
What's the difference between a sportbike and a supersport?
>>28623147I was looking it up, its a ninja engine so it should do fine. A guy from revzilla did a vid on it and he said it was fine highway.Heavily considering it.
Week two of wearing a cast on my foot. Injury is healing physically but my soul hurts watching these fall days pass without riding.
>>28623102This is why I love this terrible website.So much creative writing goes on here.
I’m never going to get this package
>>28623184NOTHING IT'S THE SAME SHIT FUCK OFF
>>28622441perhaps, but you'll never know because you can't keep up.
>>28623222I must have missed whatever prompted this response. I was being serious. I do see those trips, however.
With all the ATGATT I'm surprised the hi-viz guys haven't chimed in.Also I had this weird urge to buy pic related today. Not usually my style so I dont know.
>>28623132>dont do much offroad>think i’ll buy a dirtbike
>>28623263It seemed like a good idea at the time. That way I could find out what I liked. Technically it worked.
>>28623258jolly rogers are coolmatte black helmets though... YUCK
>>28623258>hi visTop kek, please don't even bring it up, you just know they are itching to suggest full on traffic control lady tier suit, probably with a spinning orange light above their heads. "EXCUSE ME, ARE YOU SERIOUSLY SUGGESTING YOU AREN'T DRESSING IN NEON YELLOW WITH REFLECTIVE STRIPS AND THE MANDATORY LIGHTHOUSE BEACON PLUS 200DB SIREN AT ALL TIMES?!?!??! REMIND YOU THAT WE ALL SUPPORT ATHVATT (All The Hi Vis All The Time) HERE, SQUIDDIE."I wish the good brands of helmets would make better designs, the stock racing style solid colors are really boring. Icon has a number of cool designs I like, pic related makes me wanna cum.
>>28623263They are good for starting out on motorcycles if you wanted to move to adv eventually
What bikes have like the least maintenance? I can easily ride 15,000 miles a year and hate having to pay the shop for valve clearances every 16k.

>>28623283Your boot is fucking gone my dude. Why wear them at that point.
>>28623283B-b-b-b-based. What happened to ur boot though? You duck feet stance on the bike and scrape em like mad?
>>28623258hi-viz is a double edged sword and I say that as a hi-viz guy.what we're casting is effectively magic spells. we're HOPING that looking like a yellow christmas tree makes people not hit us, but ultimately we're not entirely sure why most retards end up acting like fools on the road. They could be on their phone, in which case hi-viz doesn't help because they aren't looking anyway. Or they could be dumbasses who can't drive their own cars and misjudge something like our speed or their ability to accelerate. and then there's the other possibility that we're making things worse by lighting up brightly and becoming a victim of target fixation. what would otherwise be normal traffic may end up being the thing everyone gravitates toward because it's the most obvious thing on the road.
>>28623271>matte black helmets thoughAgree its probably my only hang up. I did see a solid black one the other day and it didn't look that bad. Arai's black has more of a satin finish than matte.>>28623275>stock racing style solid colorsAgreed.
>>28623258>tfw wear high vis at all times >but it’s just a safety vest from the hardware store over my regular clothes Anyone else ?
>>28623279Hate valve clearance checks? Harley uses hydraulic lifters across the line Pan Am wins again >>28623290>>28623295I like wearing high vis bc my father was a field engineer and I would visit him at the job sites after school and he was always in high vis so I associate it with him :) He’s still alive, he’s just retired now
>>28623290>and then there's the other possibility that we're making things worse by lighting up brightly and becoming a victim of target fixation. what would otherwise be normal traffic may end up being the thing everyone gravitates toward because it's the most obvious thing on the road.There's also been some studies done by OSHA on effectiveness of hi-viz when everything around you is hi-viz on a job site. TLDR, if divers saw hi-viz all the time they would become accustomed to seeing it.
got this seat off some chinese ebay resellerit's actually pretty comfy, took it for a spin around the block and it's at least a 20% improvement in comfort over the factory solo seat
>>28623286>>28623287Well the left one saved my foot once so I figured I’d give righty a chance too whenever the time comes around again(Really they’re just comfy and I can step right into em)On the topic of high vis, my buddies take a strip of solas tape and put it on the back of their helmet and it works way better than any high vis after nightfall
>>28623311looks nice
>>28623317yeah looks pretty slick
>>28623315Ah you ended up getting the gloves then I see. How do ya like em? My fit super nice the instant I got my hand in them, no break in at all. Also post some riding footage, I see the camera mount there. I bought a shitty chinese gopro knock off for shits and gigs, tomorrow I'll see if I can't record a ride home or something with it.
Yup they started garnishing my wages so I can pay back my Snap on box and a few sets of tools lol. AMA.
>>28623295Safety jacket over gear for work comute after getting cut off multiple times in the morning.>>28623325Thats looks like the same as my rebel 300 one by the looks of it. They have like 3 different names for the thing, btw they aren't fully waterproof so you need to cover it if you keep your bike outside. Significantly better than oem single seat.
>>28623352I never ride in the rain lol I'm a desert rat through and throughI'll find a seat cover if I need to though, good to know
>>28623331>Ah you ended up getting the gloves then I see. How do ya like em?still breaking them in, I apparently have smaller than average hands so wearing proper moto gloves feeling like I'm fighting the glove whenever I move my hands. I'm sure it'll feel better with enough daily use>Also post some riding footage, I see the camera mount there.I'm slow as fuck so the camera is mostly there for sentimental purposeshttps://litter.catbox.moe/1h41rmhrd97vqdea.mp4
>>28623359I remember you saying you have small hands hehe, plus having to get guy sizes must be even worse. The one thing I noticed while breaking the gloves in was the knuckle area, that was a bit stiff at first, but now it feels as nice as the rest already was, which I wasn't expecting to change. These are my first pairs of hardcore gloves, but they give a lot of nice feedback surprisingly, the part you actually touch the controls with is nice and thin.>the camera is mostly there for sentimental purposesFootage looks really nice, beautiful area, is this Cali? God I wished I Cali instead of this frozen shithole Indian colony, year long riding and legal lane splitting....Also I was going to ask how your footage looks nicer than even the youtubers, but I guess its because youtube bitrate is so trash.
fuck this gay earth for giving me midget fingers. i need levers that are close enough to the bar but also gives me enough leverage to pull fully. i hate it
>>28622640The whole BMW boxer-twin platform is pretty nice, not just the GS.>>28622600>krauts make their bikes to work to their maintenance schedules, and if you dont adhere to them, you might kill your bikeOne thing that the Beemerwaffen and Mister Harley David-san get much more right than the Japanese makers, at least in the US, is dealer support. If you're on a long ass tour and something goes wrong, there will always be a dealership nearby to get you fixed up and back on the road. On a Japanese bike you might get one closed-four-days-a-week dealership within 200 miles, that also services jetskis and ATVs with shit awful parts availability. That's a big part of why I picked the RS over trying to 7000 miles on my old VFR. (The rest was battery vampire issues and randomly dying on idle at stoplights.)
>>28623359>I apparently have smaller than average handsCUTE!! everyone else stay bacc!
>>28623387>the part you actually touch the controls which is nice and thinFrom what I understand they’re some of the cheapest full gauntlets you can get with kangaroo skin palms, main reason why I bought them. My first pair of gloves I got were goat leather but I always felt like I was fighting the gloves, when I got a new pair I went for something a bit better for daily riding and got some deer leather which feel incredible but are very very thin and not ideal for canyon riding. > is this Cali?Angeles Crest Highway, probably my favorite road for a hybrid of scenic and fun riding. Really incredible, would love to come here more often if it wasn’t a 100+ miles away> its because youtube bitrate is so trash.Precisely, I used do the upscale to 4K for a better bitrate trick but it’s too much of a hassle for such little benefit
>>28622590Suzuki ez. Suzuki's last 20-something years have been all about sleeping and making one mid sized parallel twin platform plus updating their old engines to be emission standard compliant.
>Ride bike>feel goodI understand why people would steal a bike.
>>28622590Five years ago I would have said no but these days... maybe? The Panigale V4 will torch anything Japanese except maybe a Fireblade or a Hayabusa (in a straight line lol). Off road the GS is great but Honda and Yamaha ADVs are competitive, as are Honda and Suzuki dualsports.

>>28623279VT1100 has hydraulic lash adjusters so no valve clearance needed at all and is also shaft driven so even less maintenance for a bike. It's biggest weak point is being slow af for a big honking heavy 1100cc bike. There's trims with disc brakes in the rear so a brake job is easier than drum, 30 minutes front and rear easy. After that it's just oil change, shaft drive oil change, air filter, and spark plugs, there's stories on boomer forums if the VT1100 doing 200k+ miles
>>28622739No this is just bs.Majority of bikes(above 125cc) you will see in Europe will be big 4. You will have flareups of like BMWs in Germany, but even there the amount of Japanese bikes is enormous. A lot of it has to do with the used market though, I suspect the Japanese aren't as dominant as they were around 2000 when it comes to newly sold motorcycles though. On the low end they're undercut by the Chinese, meanwhile the entry level circa 400cc has been heavily attacked by euro companies often with bikes outsourced to India(BMW's 300's, KTM Duke 390 which started this attack, Triumph Speed 400's etc), on the mid range they're still very strong tho.High end doesn't matter when it comes to perception of market dominance. For every GS1300, 4 Transalps will be sold. That being said if it's 2000 and you'd ask a kid about a dream motorcycle it would be hayabusa because it's the fastest but nowadays euro litre bikes will make it run for its money. That is a huge shift, the Japanese used to be completely dominant in performance they aren't anymore.
>>28623279BMW boxers. Aside from universal stuff (tire, oil, brakes, clutch&brake fluid) it's just shaft fluid every other year.

>>28623505I ONLY trust japaneese research, engineering, and manufacturing, that shit will never change until i die. You would have to work with a japaneese man to understand their level of commitment to anything, its literally foolish to buy non japaneese and untill that country is destroyed no other country will match them in quality or anything really.
>>28623184Sport bike has some compromises for everyday riding/comfort. Designed from the ground up for real world riding in mind. Sometimes Called Open Class sport bikes. Super sports on the otherhand are homologation specials (most of the time) and are essentially uncompromising race bikes with lights to make it street legal. Some would argue displacement is what differs a SB from a SS but I disagree.>>28623279Shaft driven honda CB of your flavor of displacement.

>>28623553>Honda has SakaiWhat is sakai? I know what kando is.
Does Kawasaki and Suzuki have a uhh...mystical Japanese word that like makes their product better? Kinda like kando and sakai
>>28623561Sakai (generally speaking) is focus, determination, perseverance. It's mentioned within Japanese literature every now and then.Sakai is the way of the samurai, Yamaha can keep its Kando. Honda went a different way.
>>28623568Suzuki has, uh... oppai.
>>28622514Yamaha is using M for racing bikes, like M1 or R1M
>>28623554>16fuck can i get in trouble if i replied to this MF a couple of times i diddnt even like talk about anything explicit, is that shit legal, im not trying to get chris hansoned

>>28623561>What is sakai?>Points at odometer
>>28623583The rough translation of Sakai is Border, Boundary, or Frontier. It originates from the Sakai Clan of samurai. I bet there's a true-weeb/nipp that can do a better service elaborating the essence of Sakai but it's an enlightened state of mind.Honda has achieved Sakai, due to their relentless and consistent pursuits to Engineering integrity. You can give honda shit for making same-same bikes but you can't knock em for how well they stand the test of time against the reaper of the hourglass.
