>>28633891I was about to bake. Thank you for saving me the effort.
>>28633897Nice, I've been looking at muscle cruisers recently. Just found out that the Yamaha Raider exists.
>and now my lv83 fireorb hardcore ladder sorc popped tonightBAD THINGS KEEP HABBENINGAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>28633900Yeah some cool stuff out there from different manufacturers
>>28633913Unfortunately, the aftermarket just isn't there for any of the other cruisers. The ass falls out whenever they shutter operations or cease production of that model. Harley is still king (of cruisers) if you want to tinker on the performance side.
>>28633897BHY
>>28633907YOU'RE BACK
reposting>>28633862Is there a lack of parts that causes them to be so inexpensive? I saw a listing locally of a guy selling two and in his description he said that 1 runs perfectly fine and the other is entirely just to be a parts bin for the running one
Hey. Are the 4wheeler atv questions welcome?
>>28633967most ATVs share engines with dirt bikes and there's no other imageboards for it, so ask away
>>28633974based. I'm gonna buy my first atv due to moving to somewhat foresty area. From what I gatehered, japanese are still the overall most reliable and do-it-all. Was looking for something like grizzly and foreman 520. For the love of me, why honda is so expensive? Smaller engine, 2x less power etc. Is honda THAT much better?
>>28633984If it's not from one of the Big 4 Japanese brands then it's a white badged Chinese knockoff.
I'm looking into importing one of pic related. Does anyone know anything about importing bikes (or scoots) from japan? I assume they still have the same 25 year rule as cars, but under 50ccs I have no idea what the rules are. I've seen some on yahoo auctions sell for like $200-300. I assume non running or just pieces of shit, but I think it would be cool to have for solo golfing and trips to the grocery store and shit like that.
>>28633987that I figured out. My work colleague has an outlander 1000. And he actually he said that I'm retarded for wanting to spend 10-13 grand on a sub 700cc atv, due to his being "real 101 hp". The only thing he doesn't like to mention is that he had electronics problems, had to change wheel bearings and had some oil leakage in a span of 2 years.
>>28633991not worth the import hassle, try to get one already local.if thats not available get a honda shadow 90.
>>28633994The only honda gyro (not even a canopy) I saw for sale at all near me was $2500A shit ass scooter isn't worth that to me
>>28633998that's what you need then
>>28634000That's not at all the same thing
>>28633993Your friend is kind of retarded. The extra money is because Honda has a dude whose job is to make sure the perfidious Chinks aren't cutting corners and actually QC the factory run. It's also because you can got to a certified dealer and get OEM replacenent parts and warranty service. Trying doing that with a PathMastererBullStrong 1000 you bought from Home Depot on a Black Friday sale.
>>28634001i didnt say that's what you want, but that's what you need you retard.just get a scooter around 5 to 8 bhp and youll be happy
>>28634003I neither need nor want that.
>>28634006you're a sassy boi in need of a scooter
>>28634008I have a liter bike and an 850cc standardI don't need a scooterI just want a Honda gyro canopy
>>28634010no one cares about your big gay bikes, you need a scooter for your soft man butt
>>28633930It's because they were mostly bought by old people to go touring who then got too old to ride or dropped dead. Midcentury housing would be similarly cheap if we hadn't been importing half of India and Mexico since 1990.
KTM makes the best Enduro bike. KTM make the worst Enduro bike to own.

>Went to the french Pyrenees >99% of bikers are old people on a big trail or sport cruiser>Went to another famous motorcycle route>99% of bikers are old people on a big trail or sport cruiser I don't now if it's because southern Europe is kind of poor and can't afford motorcycle as a hobby, but i can barely see young people riding
>>28634076No ADVs? I thought it would be half and half of cruisers and ADVs.
>>28634084That is what I mean with big trails, I have seen countless amounts of BMW GS
>>28634089Cool cool, this being an old people sport is kinda depressing.
>>28634076Young people fear almost everything and their parents are attack helicopters in their parenting.Plus if a bike has not been stolen it is only a matter of time.
I tried taking my gf on my new bike for the first time yesterday and it was a disaster.For context, I upgraded from a hunter 350 to an R9, she used to ride with me on the hunter daily, but now she had a panic attack thinking she would fall off the R9 as soon as I hit 30mph, she said she felt as if she was gonna fall off the pillion seat at any time.Anything I can do to make the ride more comfortable for her? Anything she can do to feel safer?
>>28634103Get an ADV or Sport tourer. R9 is not made to be ridden with a girl on the back.
>>28634106That's not happening.
>>28634103The RE bikes are designed with a pillion in mind.Wide comfortable seat, low to the ground for both pillion and rider.So imagine going from bike which made for two upping to sitting on a something smaller than a bar stool.Nothing I can recommend or think about, it's mostly in her mind.
>>28634099>parents are attack helicopters in their parenting.True everywhere tbf anymore. You move out and buy it yourself. Die like men.
>>28634118The economy is in shambles, people in southern europe move out later than ever in life. If you would please consult the graph.jpg
>>28634120Bitch, I am american the americans, mexicans and Canadians are in the same shit.
>>28634103Fear is extinguished through repeated exposure. So either ride around at lower speeds and gradually get her used to going faster or buy a fat assed touring bike with a sissy bar.
I don't like how I have to wait another 4 days for my tags to come for my bike.
>>28634127Tags?You mean like road toll tags?
>>28634128Registration.
>>28634129Ah, like plates? I'm going to get my bike inspected and plated today, unless it manages to break down yet again.For like what, 3 years now I've been riding it either with "fake" plates or none at all, the very moment I even think about getting it plated, the engine fails catastrophically.
>>28634131It is still probably more comfortable than my rebel3. Baiku makes my hands feel like a chronic mastubator. No one fixes bar vibration on the 300 but every other bike with this engine does something more about it than bar weights.
>>28634135>It is still probably more comfortable than my rebel3My rear wheel isn't even round. On the center stand you can do half a rotation and it will hit the ground. It shouldn't.
>>28634139You'll make it to get plated ural anon. I hope you have a bill of sale to do so though.
Say happy bday to my fazer, it had a rough night
>>28634141What the fuck is that? Nah man, Iknow a dude and I have no documentation.>Okay anon, what's this, where's the documentation Dads old bike, had it for over 10 years>How fucking many bikes your dad has?As many as I buy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>28634143Very nice pic, Anon.
What's the biggest, most comfortable touring bike I can buy that won't give away the fact that i'm going through a midlife crisis?
>>28634155Honda Valkyrie or triumph rocket 3
>>28633897>>28633917Hello, fellow hog enthusiasts
>>28634157I wouldn't call the rocket comfy
>>28634158Once again I have accidentally stayed awake all night.
Any cheap speakers to fit in a helmet that are Bluetooth?
>>28634172you know you can type that exact phrase into a search engine, right?
>>28634076Yeah the younger guys that would be interested in bike riding either can't afford it or have been deterred by the government (expensive license, insurance, no fun allowed laws, etc...).So you're left with wealthy boomers and hoodrats.I stopped riding myself before I reached my 30s. Tired of cops harassing me, of people hating me for no reason. I'd rather focus on my career and hopefully score the golden ticket and emigrate to the US where you're still allowed to live life.
>>28634172Plenty. Tunes, intercom and phone has been a thing for about twenty years.GPS intercom and phone is how I like it.
>>28634168Sleep is for quitters! Just toss in some ranger dip and you'll be gtg
>>28634123No you're not. A minimum wage worker in the US makes as much as a European engineer with a decade of work experience in areas with similar cost of living.
>>28634180Nta, but that sucks Lil
>>28634180The average age to move out in the US is 28 anon. Housing cost and renting costs far exceed wages in most of the US.>>28634174Everyone just says to buy cardo.
/adventure/
>>28634199Shiiiit. Ive had a house since before 28. Feels good man
>>28634076a new GS or Harley is gonna cost you like £16-20k most people dont have that for a car, let alone a weekend-hobbyable 2nd vehicle and thats before you factor in cost of gearmost young people would rather just fly to [shithole] like ibiza and get monged off their face on pisslager and cocaine for a week, than take 1 step to broaden their horizons or improve themselves t. 30 year old boomer
>>28634202I'm lucky I'm not younger. Age for first employment for youngest gen z is in the early 20s now for men.
>>28634219Just have rich parents. LAMAYO
>>28634199>Housing cost and renting costs far exceed wages in most of the USif you demand to live in a city*
>>28634224Yeah. Makes sense that there's cheap housing where there's no job market, right?
>>28634224Pretty much everywhere in NC now unfortunately. This was cheap when I was growing up.
>>28634229Everything was cheaper when you were growing up.
>>28634225>noooo i cant commute 1 hour in the easiest driving country in the world
>>28633907anons were thinking you died lol
>>28634236God I wish 1 hour out wasn't filled with retiree's like every place in this state, where do they come from and who on Earth is affording 6 figures for trailers.But back to bikes. The alternatives to cardo, are these amazon listed ones in the 20-60 USD even worth testing.
>>28634236Ahh, you're an office cuck. Say no more
>>28634241>six figures for a trailer Lulz Wasn't a fan of my cardo. Will not buy another one
>>28634246I'm an plumber and I live 50mins outside of chiraq (IM WHITE), city calls me in like 3-4 times a week to fix nigger problemsmy mortgage is 1/3 of my colleagues who live closer to the city are paying in rent >>28634241>The alternatives to cardonever buy a cardoIsrael owned, Ukraine manufactured a few helmets are designed for Senna, probably also jewish the amount of people you plan to ride with determines the comms you should get
>>28634248Well I'll risk it on the cheapo amazon/Alibaba special speakers. They will probably flat out come off the helmet lmao.
>>28634250I have an el cheapo amazon one in mine. Its been fine. I really only use it for road trips anyway. Its good enough for podcast so its good enough for me
I am thinking about getting my bike running again is michelin still making Pilot power 3? I want those tyres specifically. Pilot road 3's is what i had on this bike last time and they left no room for error it was all grip or no grip. I don't want anything else because i know those pp3 tyres are grippy enough to willy in the wet but still epic when backing it in to a corner on the limit cuz of that progressive harness, no other tyre compares to the god tyre. t. someone who did 200+km/h on a windy dirt road with road tyres cuz dbt didn't believe i would/could
>>28634255Ok
>>28634256You didn't answer my question are pp3 still a thing slowfag?
>>28634255Power6 breh
>>28634261Looks like it has 0 wet weather grip i am not some fair weather Nancy I will and do ride in pouring rain and on dirt roads
>>28634259Oh
>>28634265Yeah power6s have no grip on dirt forget it
>>28634267So the pp3 isn't a thing anymore is it? i used to take pp3 hillclimbing on my cb400sf
>>28634280Ok
>>28634280For context btw PR3 has way more than enough grip off road or in the wet for me, they are shit in good conditions is the problem pic related, pr3 that has seen dirt roads at 200+km/h
>>28634282Post chicken strips, no excuses, all excuses are explained by operator technique
>>28634287Ur easy to upset
>>28634294you are easy to call out, post your chicken strips nerd
Inspection office just closed as I got on the lot. Fine, didn't want plates anyway. Also the engine developed a weird ticking rattle of some sort, not dure if it comes from the valves or the timing gears.Will have to ride back home to check, but of course the whole god damn city is filled with retarded pensioners and local yokels who don't know how to drive. Nothing pisses me off more than when you need to get somewhere and the fucking retards in front of you completely blank out and forget how traffic works.I'm here sitting at an intersection behind a yield sign and these fuckwits just stare at me like a deer in headlights, unable to comprehend that they should get the fuck out of my way.
>>28634303>Inspection office just closed as I got on the lot.This feels preventable
>>28634307Are you implying I should shoot up the place? Leaving work a bit earlier to make it to the office is not an option, they should conform to my time schedule.
>>28634312Yes.
>>28634312you should post chicken strips it will tell everyone how much of a sick cunt you are and if you are capable of such a thing
>>28634314Let's go then, teach them to fuck around with me.
Anyone with no chicken strips on a street bike is a psychopath plain and simple.
>>28634320No dildo attachment?!?!? Wtf
>>28634320You didn't post chicken strips which i assume are 2 inches wide nerd
>>28634321>no chicken strips on a street bike is a psychopathReally? Right in front of my rebel and cooking katana?
>>28634340>rebelCruiser chad!!!
>>28634324I dunno about any chicken strips, these tires are probably older than you are.>>28634323Budget cuts hit us hard.
I sat on an r12gs at the dealer yesterday. It was super nice looking. Can't believe bmw even chromed the bread box cat.
>>28634347The struggle is real
>>28634347I am 32 years old and i back my 1300cc UJM into corners so i naturally have no chicken tendies. I scrape exhaust on the ground uleh.Talking to someone who confidently does 200= km/h on dirt roads because they have end speed limit signs kek
>>28634361>32Ok
>>28634362post hurley durley fag >bRABRuBBRUBBRUbBRHAHAHAHAHAHAHRRUBBRUBBRABROBRAHBRUB

>>28634373God this and the older half faired sv were sex.
>>28634371BRABBRABRABRUBBBBRUBOPOPBRUBBRUBRUBRUBRUBBRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASo cool
>>28633891holy shit thats my bike i got on saturday!Feeling blessed brosbtw from what the seller told me it sat mostly unused for 2 years, should i purge the tank or oil? The battery was fine so it probably wasnt unused for THAT long i guess? It has under 1000km/600mi and was originally bought around 2022
>>28634394Replace the oil. Also funny how the 125 looks like the nc and ctx but nothing else did in that era.
Why is it Hurleybros are cool IRL, but /dbt/ is full of wannabe police low t dads who give a sermon for going 10kmh over the limit?
I wish /o/ had a r/calimariraceteam equivalent for people who actually like riding instead of talking about consoooming new bikes, wrenching shitbikes, ATGATT faggotry, boring bike pics, and screeching about being rejected by their local pig force.
>>28634394Oil change and Chain lubeif its EFI mix fresh fuel with the old, but ride easy until your next fuel up. no WOT>>28634398>looks like the nc and ctx but nothing else did in that era.weird , i chose a nc700x because the honda lineup looked similar enough to make the engine platform the deciding factor.
>>28634389I dont have a harley. What are you on about?
>>28634405>I wish 4chan was like redditWhy are you here.
>>28634405you're free to make a general about that, and this is not reddit so they won't randomly ban you or close down your sub due to powertripping mods (probably)
>>28634414The cb500 and 300 F around that time look very different. I kinda like that eras sport bike headlights though. It has me strongly considering the cbr500 even uf I hate sport bike positioning and really only ose my bike for 30min commuting in city roads.
>>28634398thanks >>28634414Do i first clean the chain with wd40 and then apply chain lube, or viceversa?
>>28634416CRT is more 4chan than this den of wannabe pigs, 2016 facebook boomer dads really killed the culture of 4chan, "WE LOVE OUR BOYS IN BLUE YALL!!!11!!1 ATGATT AND MIGA!!!".>>28634419Yeah maybe I should, make a /squid/ or something, will have to be after I get a new camera though, maybe even after my next bike, I'll need good content to draw people into a new general, otherwise it will just die instantly.
>>28634423Do you not have a dad?
>>28634423>Do i first clean the chain with wd40 and then apply chain lubeI don't think cleaning matters, just lubricating for any initially binding links
>>28634428>a new camera though, maybe even after my next bike, I'll need good content to draw people into a new general, otherwise it will just die instantly.sounds like you may want to do it on /wsg/ if its all about videos then, but yeah it may die quickly, i would recommend just doing general "biker videos" thread and do a mix of OC and found content there
>>28634098Everything is an old people sport because our population pyramids are inverted even when you count all the young brown imports who don’t do anything but sit around and eat takeout, no hobbies to speak of Only whites and East Asians have hobbies, blacks mill about, browns fuck boys in the ass, jeets build ostentatious homes to flex on each other, spics and other natives get drunk
>>28634143Happy birthday Fazer chan, here is to many more happy miles!
>>28634155Africa Twin, Transalp and Vstrom 800 or 1050 don't scream midlife crisis, I think.
>>28634103>I put my gf on an uncomfortable bike and she didn’t like it Sports bikes shouldn’t even come with pillion seats, I don’t know why we carry on with that pretension If you want a pillion here are your choices 1) Old school standard/UJM style 2) Cruiser 3) ADV 4) Touring bike 5) Sidecar rig In ascending order of passenger comfortAnything else is hugely uncomfortable, it just is
>>28634405Go make your own then lil wrenchlet. I'm sure you'll have plenty to talk about as a pro fully naked motogp rider yourself to chat amongst your fellow naked motogp riders.New bike slop agreed though, but you're retarded so I can't agree with you.
>>28634103>>28634458Wouldn't it be comfy to have her on the back of a 125 scoot, cub or a grom. I'm sure she will love it more.
>>28634465I actually did put scooter on this list originally writing the post but I took it off bc it’s not a motorcycle, and I’ve never ridden on one personally, so I don’t want to speak with no knowledge
>>28634444I don't mind non-video stuff, but mostly I just want a general where outsiders can gather and share stuff without some redditdad breathing down people's neck about the law and his normalfag morality. This general isn't for interesting people, its just another /pol/boomer offshoot like most of modern 4chan, where spiritually dead old man scold anyone who isn't a cattleslave to the system just like they are. "DA JOOOOOOS CONTROL US, THATS WHY I OBEY EVERY LAW THEY IMPLEMENT!!!!11!!", hate these clowns so much. Might make the general open for downhill mountain carfags, even dirtbikers who hit crazy jumps. Fuck I would even like to see those base jumpers and wingsuiters who go off city buildings, one day I want to get into that, buy my own parachute and teach myself from youtube vids. That would have to be on /wsg/ though.
>>28634469Go test ride one with her on the back for free in a Suzuki or Honda dealership. The seats are nice and wide, seats are comfy you can add a back rest. You can use it just to bop around the town with her. Consider a Vespa too, bitches over here love their vespas.
>>28634356Fucking nato should gib more dildo attachments, what the hell is it good for otherwise? >>28634361These tires are from the 70s. I scrape my center stand on turns doing 60kmh because the crankshaft will otherwise literally explode if you dare going any faster.
>>28634476Yeah, let's focus on some random dune koons guys.Nevermind the epstien client list maga is gatekeeping.
>>28634478I’m not the anon with a gf, I have a wife (who also won’t ride on the back of my Honda) >>28634476I’ve been posting on 4chan since I was 11 years old in 2007 Don’t speed or violate traffic laws!
>>28634490>Don’t speed or violate traffic laws!
>>28634490NTA but I've been here since 2011 and I'm too old too continue street racing or to try squidding anymore. When I namefagged in /hg/ I crashed 2 of my 3 civics in the Appalachian mountain roads. Slow small motorcycles give me the same feeling with lower speeds and less pain in my wallet but I still feel to old to go back to trying to push limits on every road. It is too expensive.
>>28634506I like the Appalachian area
>>28634501>almost two decades on 4chan >get called reddit And after I tuck my kids in I log onto twitter and get called an incel too
>>28634508I got lucky a guy died of epilepsy instead of injuries from a street racing accident.I like the mountains but the roads ar night are sketchy.
>>28634511Reddit is a mentality, just because you wear a hell's angel patch doesn't make you part of a biker gang.
>>28634514Just git guud bro
>>28634476>DA JOOOOOOS CONTROL USThis is unironically true.
>>28634506>It is too expensive.Squidding is cheap, clapped out gixxers are affordable every year even on minimum wage.

>>28634544Nobody is crying for you, just laughing at you.>>28634563What in the frogposting fuck does this gibberish slop even mean? Are you too stupid to even craft a coherent insult?
>>28634569>Nobody is cryingOk, but try writing that out without the tears streaming down your cheeks lmao.
>>28634523I know I’m winning, three kids too All this and more could have been yours if only your parents had raised you to be a religious extremist
>Are these as good as a GSXR600, CBR600 or R6 of the day. They seem forgotten about comparatively. I've only even ridden an R6 which seemed like the pick for the track but not the road bc of the power curve.They're all pretty comparable. My zx6r is an 07/08 and it is a 599cc. The other zx6r's are 636cc and people swear their faster. My 07/08 has a weird throttle issue that's kind of annoying when you're going around town, like it will be 20% input or 0% if you're below 8000 rpms. It's intermittent. It's an issue many have complained about on the 07/08 and I've never found a fix for it. Not sure if it affects all of them or just some. So be aware of that.
>no wife>no kids>so much time and money for hobbiesFeels good boys
Just gotta make it to the weekend. Then I can ride. Just gotta make it to the weekend. Then I can ride. Just gotta make it to the weekend. Then I can ride.

>>28634584Post surgery, doc wants me off the bike another nine weeks.

>>28634572>I know I’m winning, three kids tooOk that is impressive. I'm happy for you dad chan. Somehow this is the general with most married men and the most based.
>>28634595Rest up faggot.

>>28634450Do I have an interesting vid for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HDchCK1mooJeets, Brazilians and SEA monkeys are completely different in our countries.
>>28634603I should, doc gave me a very graphic account of what would happen if I were to crash before healing is complete.
>>28634476youre so cool and radical idk why you even hang out on this general with us boring folk!
I've been thinking about doing an sportster 883 -> 1275 conversion for years. I'll probably just do nothing cause why waste money and it's fast enough, but which kit would you do if you had to pick? Cost is from $2k to $5k+ all in (minus exhaust, air cleaner, tune, suspension, brakes, etc., does include clutch).Since someone will say "get a better bike", I'm sentimentally attached and would be fun to do the wrenching myself.
>>28634619>get a better bikeThe best bike is the one you like the most.I fell for the "get a better bike" and got an objectively better bike, ended up hating it.Now I beat myself for not spending that money on the bike I actually liked.
>>28634571I'll do my best anon, it's just so hard when one is SOOO jealous of... attention from men? Kek you fag
>no wife>no kids>have to fill the void buying toys and doing hobbiesFeels horrible man
Wish I got more video yesterday before my camera died, on my final run I was beating the living shit out of second gear, I think I woulda made R6 cry with how long I was just holding it at or near redline lol62 miles averaging 75-90mph and I think shifted to 3rd maybe twice haha
>>28634629Thank you schizosister.
>>28634630You sound poor
>>28634633I don't get it
>>28634642When some 4chan schizo posts some utter deranged nonsense its best to just thank the schizosister and move on.
Do I fall for the meme?I like the new 2025+ fairing design that got rid of the ugly holes/circles on the fairings.I have a 650 twin as my "real" bike.
>>28634690If you have the disposable income it’s just a fun toy If your real bike is used as a toy, I probably wouldn’t If you use your main bike to commute and do errands, then I probably would
>>28634644kys chameleon tranny
>Ship bike to eu (Boxed)>finally get it after 3 months>they broke my blinkersSigh...
>>28634690Sure, go ahead, it's a great little bike, but why not used?
>>28634725good, that shit looks awful
>>28634690i don't see the appeal of these, at all, why wouldn't you just get a small dual sport instead?
>>28633984Just go to an auction or farmer's auction and try to pick one up cheap.
>>28634719Thank you schizosister.
>>28634725I swear half the time I walk into the local powersport dealer the turn signals are banged up on thw sport bikes that don't have the flush aftermarket ones.
>>28634143Happy b-day fazer! To many more years of adventures!
Damn my honda CB125F actually comes with a toolkit hidden under the seatand the manual explains tons of maintenance and disassembly stuff unlike my car's manual
>>28634690Grom is cool, but monkey seems cooler for fucking around off the road.
>>28634778My tool kit on my rebel300 was lost. Made my own and kept it in my tool bag... Come to think of it. I left spanner wrenches in my tail bag and idk if the mechanic stole those or left them in there.
>>28634644Oh, so like stunt riding for strangers when you're recovering from a shoulder injury?
>>28634794I didn't even stop riding at all despite the injury, and I stunt ride for myself breh, try standing on your bike at 100+ and then turning in a bend, its a rush. Maybe if you actually liked riding instead of being a nolife 4cuck schizo who doesn't ride you would understand.
Just got me babe runnin after sittin all summer. How is it that EFI injectors don't get clogged with ethanol residue like carbs do?
>>28634803>Heh, in order to enjoy riding you gotta be a retard I'm good thanks, bold riders don't grow old so enjoy your 15 minutes of dopamine before that Darwin award.>Yeah bro I stunt for myself>>28634536Keep telling yourself that.
>>28634601lollmao even holy smokes bro
>>28634816Thats the thing anon, they also get clogged eventually. You just won't notice till fuel economy becomes completely ass and it runs like shit.
>>28634824>bold riders don't grow old
>>28634803>stuntnigga can’t even wheelie WeW
>>28634834Thank you schizosister.
>>28634836Just the truth man you got so assblasted after anons rightly clowned your video and been shitting up the place Lurk more before you start posting again man it’s just painful to watch
>>28634841Thank you schizosister.
>>28634833>Brain Dead response with no substanceColor me surprised, another golem zoomer
>>28633891I have been bikeless for almost two years, /dbt/. After recently becoming a not-poor again, I want to change that. What's the current meta for someone who enjoys naked sport bikes and smol ADVs? My SV650 was honestly pretty great and my CRF250 rally felt kinda slow and heavy for what it was. I only want to budget for one bike for the next ~18 months.
>>28634844He’s edgelording and doesn’t even know itZero self awareness and just here for the attention despite being a nowheelie copehard
>>28634844>>28634848>boomies licking each other woundsGeeeeeeg, love to see it.
>>28634847Drz or ktm390?
>>28634829ahh ok. I have 2 fuel filters and the shit is STILL cloggin up the pilot jet. I even used fuel stabilizer thinking it might dissolve ethanol but STILL left my jets clogged all to hell.
Dunno whats worse, AGATT Police or the Stunt Golem Sentries. One is annoying but good intentioned the other is insufferable and full of themselves.
>>28634847isn't it obvious?>>28634857>erm don't you see both sides are the same!!!111!!1Not fooling anyone, ATGATT redditor.
>>28634860I don't even have a reddit so you can take that with your little thumper and ram it up your ass.
>>28634857I just ignore them.
>>28634866You know what, that's probably the best strat given how desperate they are for attention.
>>28634860>stunts>posts video of lifting wheel 1 foot for 15 feet.Please have some respect for the actual guys who can ride
>>28634865>dunno whats worse, the wannabe pigs who are literally snitching on other posters here because they were made fun of, or people having a laugh on bikes>however the one side (my side) has good intentions!!!!11!!!Lass couldn't make it anymore obvious.
>>28634852>>28634860>ktm390Are these things reliable second hand? Part of having a bike is it gives me a second vehicle whenever I work on big jobs with the car. A rare instance, but I also don't want two project vehicles.>drzAre the new drz's with EFI any good? Looks tempting but it seems like there's better value in just buying someones fully upgraded prior model for less.
>>28634871>Please have some respect for the actual guys who can rideGlad to hear I don't have to respect you then jej.>erm thats not truePost yourself doing literally anything at all. In fact post you even have a bike, then post yourself riding it, then post yourself doing a wheelie.>erm I don't have too!!!!!1111!LARPking.
>>28634874Heard mixed things about 390 but if you find one that has 10k miles it’s probably goodNew drz is supposed to be awesome but no 6th gear and 9000$I’d get an older one that’s been jetted etc
>>28634874>Are these things reliable second handMine has been, I mean they are so feking cheap used that it hardly matters, there are like unlimited up on FB marketplace and getting a low milage one is easy. Its a perfect bike to ravage with zero fucks given, basically cheaper than a Grom. DRZ are way more expensive and much rarer in comparison, built like tanks thoughever.
>>28634766Before i bought this versys i saw another one (versys) in blue and white brand new with scuffed plastics.The dealer told me they just replace them before selling, i dont think it costs them much.
>>28634872I genuinely do not have a "side" you splitting dipshit simply calling it as it is.
>>28634884>simply calling it like it is
>>28634766Some are banged up on test rides, some are as the stock came.Make sure they don't put pretty bits on a banged up frame.Ask me how I know this.
https://youtu.be/gAqR8XQ0Zkw?t=1416>Yamaha wins again
>>28634883It doesn't but I have no idea why they would leave them out like that.
I got a scooter bike from online.For my price there were only like 2+ options, so it only had 300 reviews.And like 5 outta 300 said missing screws or junk.How worried do i need to be about putting it together?And how many basic bike/scooter stores might help me (if i needed parts). For what i assume would be a 1 time 20-50$ price?I think, including 3 cities near me, i have like 2-3 bike/motor cycle/scoot stores.

stop arguing and post bikes retards
>>28634905better put it all in your butt bro
>>28634916I'm not even sure how possible it is for me to carry a 60-70 lb bike (in a box) .If i needed to take it to some bike store.I guess i need some carry cart trolly thing.
>>28634927I've bought a bike and called a cab. Taught that driver how his folding seats worked that day.Where there is a will and all that.
>>28634927This is how the poor and stupid get poorer and stupider Buy lottery tickets next time kid
>>28634938I feel like most guys (who aren't small and semi skinny like me) should be able to do it.I think it's just the box size/shape that makes it hard.I'm still gonna try.(it's gonna be carried upstairs, 5 times harder)Too bad i'm semi poor and don't have friends.I think there's good chance i can do it, with some effort.Pray i don't fall down and snap neck.>>28634944>don't get bike, do lottoThat sounds stupid, and does not fit this board.
>>28634950Give it some. If you don't push your comfort zone then you'll never get the girl.
>>28634255Yeah that's a Google search sort of question bro. Also there are other tires that give you warning before they go. One of which being of all things, the lowly Shinko 712. It doesn't last but it's been rather forgiving in my experience. Of course the speed rating probably isn't appropriate for what you want to do.Here's a picture of my bike with a gas tank that just won't stop leaking
>>28634959
>>28634959Suzuki? Kawasaki probably has tanks that old.
>>28634914This is the most beautiful bike I've ever seen and can see myself riding it wearing my hi-vis leathers. Hnng.
Sat on some transalp, nx500, nc750s at the dealer and they felt cheap.
>>28633930They have 400,000 miles and the used motorcycle market decrees that any two wheeled vehicle be considered depreciated to scrap at 40,000.
>>28634984They all feel cheap. All the touchy bits on a crosser are intended to break before you do.Dominator because they were outside the box.
>>28634977thanks!
>>28633930>million of them>high mileage>family members stuck with them because the guy that bought it got too old>used bikes are already relatively inexpensive>very low demand for 40 year old bikes
>>28634984I kinda like the nx but I cannot fit on it, im like a 30inseam
>>28635004You fit on anything, you might look silly on some of them.
>>28635004I wear a 30in inseam and I had great fun on a CB500X (NX500 is new CB500X).
>>28634999God the 90s Hondas were so slick. Dominators, 1st versions of the Transalps, even the Africa Twins.
>>28635020Don't forget the FIREBLADE and HURRICANE and VFR on track, the Magna for croozin, the XR650L/XR650R which are still sold in identical form (at least in the US)...
This might be a dumb question but why did cruisers stop having aggressive backrests for 2up seating by default after the 80s and 90s? Something like a Saddlemen Step-Up. Is it because the third party seats got good so they cheaped out on the OEM ones?
>>28635015>>28635019Ehh, it and the scl are just tall enough I don't feel confident. Guess it is cause I got used to the rebel.
>>28635036>Guess it is cause I got used to the rebel.Yeah that's just the difference between a cruiser and a crambler or an ADV. The Rambler 300/500 frame is itty bitty.
Why the fuck there's a russian swine in my comfy dbt?
>>28635024I'm a Kawasaki bro. always will be and always will have.Pic is perfect bike.
>>28635028>why did cruisers stop having aggressive backrests for 2up seating by defaultSo you could be sold one as an additional accessory.
>>28635038I do like the ergos a lot on the scl otherwise. It is the whole reason I want to lift my rebel 300. Slight lean forward and more space for my legs.
>>28635046Yeah this is just a you problem. Get over the fear and get it in gear. You'll be fine.
Let's say I want to ride 350 miles a day for a week straight. What type of a motorcycle would be most suitable for such tour if I don't want my ass and balls get hurt?
>>28635004>>28635019I'm also the exact same height and I ride my CB500X for 2 hours a day. I was a tiny bit intimidated by it at first too, coming from a Ninja 250. But nowadays I wish it was actually a little bit bigger.
>>28635051Wing. Toyota doesn't make one.
>>28635054Not gonna happen obviously I'm talking about realistic things.
>>28635055How is that unrealistic? Used Goldwings are cheaper than a new CB500X.But if you absolutely must buy new, then any ADV will be good for it.

Do sportbike suspension setups make cornering in rough terrain any more comfortable? Or does it just help maintain stability through corners with no regards for comfort?When I ride my friends vstrom hitting a bump mid corner is noticeable but not uncomfortable, but when I hit the same bump on my bike it’s liable to buck me off the seat a little and make the steering a little more nervousWould an upgraded suspension help with this or is it mostly difference in suspension travel
>>28635115>Or does it just help maintain stability through corners with no regards for comfort?That one. On new sport touring or not-so-super-sport bikes road mode typically has softer suspension settings than sport mode for this reason. I literally bruised my ass crossing a poorly maintained mountain pass on an R1250RS in dynamic pro mode.
Will electric motorcycles ever be a thing for common people or just electric bikesHow hard would it be to convert an old nonrunning bike to electric
New windscreen finally showed up, I like it.
>>28634914I like the new decals
>>28634914>>28635136The R1 and S1KRR are the best looking modern literbikes now that the gixxer 1k has descended into moustache hell.
>>28635131Electric bikes are kinda cucked atm because of the weight, its easy to load 6 gorillion pounds onto stable four wheels than trying to do the same for bikes. The compromise is just having less range, but stuff like the Stark Varg lasts like what, 45 minutes on a highway before turning off lmao?Bikes will stay gas for longer than cars, at least for sport/touring/dirt bikes anyways. Scooters and 125 commuters will be fine as electric. Nu gas bikes are already becoming gay anyways though, the autoblipper, slipper, quickshift combo is so braindead that it might as well just be automatic at this point. Shit sucks, its really fun learning how to hard brake to load your front tire while being able to blip down with the same hand you are using to grab front brake. Now its been dumbed down for any retarded negro because of this gay shit.
>>28635131All depends on how power they can cram in the battery. Electric motors aren’t the issue, the batteries are a dealbreaker for the bike form factor. The Stark Varg enduro I’m looking into has roughly 100km / 60mi range per charge. I know some companies do e-conversions, but most of them just do mx, nothing that would pass euro inspections.
>>28635142I think it's because electric motor manufacturers are pathologically allergic to gearboxes when all of these fucking bikes are coming with something absurd like a single 2:1 ratio gear. Just give us a 1:1 highway gear you fucking NERDS!
>>28635115All that makes "muh racebike" suspension inherently different is having to be stiffer because the forces are higher. If you have a soft bike and are a fat dude riding fast then you may exceed the compliance of the system, if you have a stiff bike and are a light person riding slow then you may not be able to utilize the available travel, but having good damping matched to the spring rate is what keeps a bike from sperging out in general and is the big difference between cheap shit damping rod forks with vague settings to work with progressive rate springs and high end cartridges, since a spring is pretty much a spring.Of course all these things change slightly for every road and every turn and every riding style which is why nothing is ever perfect but anyways.
>>28635142Very true, electronics are super gay I strongly believe if you buy a bike with a quick shifter you should lose your motorcycle license in the spot
>>28635167Just say you're poor sweaty
>>28635167>I strongly believe if you buy a bike with a quick shifter you should lose your motorcycle license in the spotlol
>>28635103I feel like I'm trying to read a foreign language.I'm gonna call bike shop tomorrow.
Was going through my old gopro videos and found one from when my friend was wearing my helmet with camera, how over is it bros…
>>28635193
>>28635115You probably need to tune your suspension for your weight and height. Dunno the specfics about you or your buddy but if you two have very different dimensions then thatll have a huge hand in it.Sport suspension is mostly uncompromising, some machines more intense than others (insert whatever homologation production bike here) but you CAN soften things up so it tanks the bumps a little easier. Unless it's a bike without suspension adjustments then you'll be forced to invest in better suspension to adjust things.Dave Moss tuning on youtube, wonderful resource. Super good teacher for a very complicated component of a motorcycle.
