Wash your peen, I mean wash your visors with soap and water. That is all.

/adventure/
>>28653881NTA, my first helmet was HJC, it fit perfectly, new helmet fit is shit, but have to complete 5 years before I can justify buying a new one. The funny thing is I bought the HJC online and the new one offline. I'm a complete retard.
>>28653883Do I need a DRZ bros? I have a DR200 right now. I want a DRZ400 so bad it seems like the perfect dual sport. Same top speed as the DR650 but much lighter so it's better off road. I'm going to wagecuck 40 hours a week until I can get one and then I'll probably become a NEET and just ride the dual sport all day long.
>>28653899>then I'll probably become a NEET and just ride the dual sport all day long.NEETs are not welcome here, gtfo. Get your life together first.

>>28653904pretty sure you need to pay a substantial membership fee each month that would make being a neet very impractical.
>>28653820You should prioritize skull fitment. Any good manufacturer will have replaceable/adjustable cheek pads.I have a skinny narrow face, so I have to get thicker cheek pads with pretty much every helmet I get. Some people have little chubster faces and need thinner cheek pads so their fat cheeks aren't smushed into their eyeballs.

Have to go sleep early so that I can ride early tomorrow. Riding solo.
>>28653989Happiest bike in my honest opinion should go to the E2 ZX9R (01-02) Look at this fucker, this is a companion that will always be happy to see you. It looks like feelsgoodman pepe

got me AGAIN, wasnt even on YouTube this time I just can't stop clicking on AI jeet renders wtf
>>28654014The slop must flow
>>28654014I sometimes wonder if I shouldn't get in on this simply because I have so many motorcycles memorized that I could probably make entire fake trade shows with believable-enough titles to get 100K views full of ads every video. I could even make an AI generated website with fake press releases about them.
About to go buy 2 Yamaha ventures that ran when parked for $500. V4 braps are in my future bros there's absolutely nothing that could go wrong here

>>28654000looks like it could be ridden in both directions.Some people put a GSXR rear on TL1000s and it looked way better.
Anyone else like mogging small bikes more than mogging cars. I love blowing past scooters and Groms on my sportsbike going 120mph+
>>28654005its like crust punks who dont want work because "fuck the system", so the go beg you to buy them some food or spare some change instead.cognitive dissonance at work.
>>28654039cute larp
>>28654042pretty sure those are 17 inch wheels though?
>>28654032That only means it looks good in both directions anon.The tiny tail looks disproportionate to the design as a whole imo>picrel gsxr tail on Tiller Killer
>>28654040well at least i don't wagecuck>does 'gigs' which equate to mowing lawns
>>28654042>footpeg sparks.jpg
>>28654043>im such a slowfag 120mph is unbelievable to me
>>28654062that's all you could come up with?
>>28654064sure if you think I'm LARPing for going a below average sports bike speed. i regularly see sportsbikes going 160mph i'm already slow going 120 max. this brownoid right here drives the speed limit on a motorcycle because he cant go above it kek. turdie.
you may not like it, but this is what a REAL RIDER looks like
Went to ride now they had a bunch of reasonably priced used bikes. Is this the mobility cheat code?
>>28654080>Went to ride now they had a bunch of reasonably priced used bikes.wut
28654039>mogging cars>sportsbike going 120mphyour bait is too obvious leaffaggoti get 130 on an advdav warthog
If your helmet fits slightly too tight when it's new, that is good. It will absolutely break in.>>28653873>Timeless designsHere you go
>GOOD LORD HE'S NAKED!
>>28654089not maxing it out retard but no you don't get 130mph on an ADV the honda africa is the flagship ADV and it goes like 105mph max. aren't the rumors you don't even have a bike?
Ferrari V8 engine bike (3495cc, around 400 HP)the sound tho, nothing beats a ferrari in the sound department:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijyU2ML-7HQ
>>28654090Man, while i DO think the 999s design bashing was unjustified when it came out and it was kinda ahead of its time i gotta admit that the side profile has some issues, that rear wheel just stands out too far and that painted fender accentuates the giant gap,There needs to be something to fill that void.
>>28654103lol, sounds like any regular old Japanese I4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa068rw4n9E
FELLAS.WHO MAKES THE BEST QUALITY LOW FUEL LIGHT KIT?I wanna put a light on my shit but don't want cheap chink garbage. Not a gauge, just a light with a simple fuel sensor that can be tapped into the fuel lines.
>>28654124>get fuel sensor>get any 12V light you want>hook up to batteryIts not that hard
>>28653882>wash your visors with soap and water>and waterYes, it's important to use water because last week I wiped down my instrument panel with a dry rag and scratched the fuck out of it. Very upsetting.
>>28654095NTA, but there are videos of both the xl750 and the crf1100 hitting their limiters at 210-220km/h on Youtube.
>>28654124There are motorised vehicles without a low fuel light? What bike?
>>28654128PlastX Plastic Scratch Remover will help
>>28654090nice ducati
>>28654090sports bikes are really ugly. they just look like blobs of plastic with the fairings.
>>28654127I know, it's the sensor specifically that I want a qualilty one.>>28654138Yup, the bike in question is a 2001 ZX9R with only 5000 miles. No fuel light. No fuel gauge. Just raw, dirt bike technology known as paying attention
>>28654139Very based, thank you.
>>28654138>80% of the dual sport guys reading this
>>28654145how do you plan on adding one anyways? Does the tank have any holes ready to be used for one?
>>28654145>a 2001 ZX9R with only 5000 milesmaybe it has so few miles on it because nobody wants to ride a piece of junk. forget the fuel light. get a new bike instead.
>>28654147that's pretty expensive, i got mine for like $9 at autozone. you will have to apply it multiple times if the scratches are kind of deep but it eventually fades them to where you only see them at an angle.
28654095>africant twin >flagship adv maybe in your third world country on 86 gas you cant get 100 out of an afriKKKa KILLArunning 97 you can easily get it to 120, STOCKretarded leaffaggotincredible you claim to know about adv but dont even know what an advdad warthog is
>>28654124well, the best quality would be your brain if you can remember your average mpg and your mileage when you got on the bike, you can take a pretty good guess at when youre going to need gas
>>28654155
>>28654155Gonna tap into the top of primary tank fuel lines and T off it/bottom of primary tank. The customer wants one just so he has a heads up when to reach back and twist the reserve tank peacock on while riding.>>28654157Save your snarkposting for plebbit. This is a 2 owner bike, 1st owner was a comically large Fatman who had too many toys to rotate around thus low miles. If it was my bike I wouldn't care about a gauge or light because you can literally hear and feel when the bike needs to switch to reserve like a dirt bike or dual sport.>Reactive experience vs a preventative experience. >Literally no race bike has a gauge or light >Literally a skill issue
>>28654168I mentioned that to the guy and that he can just fill it every 100 miles but he just wants a light so he can reach and twist the peacock without thinking about it>>28654173
>>28654177>reach and twist the peacock without thinking about ithuh?you know when to switch it because the bike starts acting and sounding different why would you need a light to tell you what you can already hear and feel?
>>28654124>mfw my CB500X not only has a digital fuel gauge, it starts counting down both litres and km once it has 1.8L left in the tankOnce again proven to be the best bike in the world.
>>28654090How the fuck so I safely use stands like that. Do I just center the bike and pray? Can I leave the front brake locked when lifting the back?Can it work on a mostly but not completely even surface?
>>28654186just get a milk crate and put the bike on that if you're on a budget. I use a floor jack and then put a block of wood under the kickstand and it's worked out okay
>>28654179Yes captain obvious, you indeed can hear and feel the bike running out of fuel.If you'd read, you'd know its not my bike. I'm just here asking who makes the best qualilty sensor. Fuck if I know why he wants a light but given we got dipshits like >>28654157 who can't use their brain enough to pay attention, I figure he just wants a preventative visual que rather than a Reactive audio que to switch to the reserve.
>>28654186https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RYI8sgQtO1svery simple, very safe
>>28654191no need to be such a faggotmaybe go to reddit or toms hardware if you want to ask dumbfuck questions for dumbfuck people and tell your "client" he a gigantic faggot retard for needing a light to tell him when his bike feels lighter and makes different noises
>>28654195Every accusation is a confession gayboy. Imagine being such a midwit you think asking around on who makes a good sensor vs a cheap bootleg is a bad question. Get over yourself you pedantic bitch.
>>28654173i kinda doubt this will give you a very precise reading.
i use a mix of 90% water 10% alcohol/cologne in a tiny spray to clean my glasses and it works great, would that work for visors or is plastic different?>>28653877diddnt know visors were universalwhat visor do you recommend>>28653895whats general purpose cleaner? like dishsoap?>>28653881>wet a piece of kitchen paper, rub the visor clean>go over it with a dry piece, then another wet pass and dry with a microfibre cloththanks
>>28653910Just oddly proportioned My wife has the same inseam at 5’3” that do at 5’9” but she can’t ride a bicycle let alone a motorcycle
>>28654193>>28654189I'll check back in in 3 hours if I dropped my shit into some guys truck.
>>28654165Everything is expensive in Australia but I get 20% discount because I'm Uber Diamond. It's not much but with the $8 I saved on this purchase I can now afford a handjob from mum (family discount).
>>28654200Agreed, I got that photo off a gauge but the plan is a simple Fuel sensor light. Just a "Hey switch to the reserve now" dummy light.
>>28654202I use windex on my visors and rain x on my visors
>>28654199ah, so youre just the leaf LARPing using someone elses pictures then?
>>28654202>whats general purpose cleaner? like dishsoap?Bro, what do you clean your counter tops with? I mix these, again do not mix a beach based cleaner with dish soap
>>28654173>no race bike has a gauge or lightbecause racing teams use calculations to determine how much fuel a bike needs to complete a race.
>>28654211well for that you would need some way to get a sensor inside.
>>28654191>can hear and feel the bike running out of fuelI can't hear my engine over the tunes playing in my helmet.
>>28654214I'm the what? Jessie what the fuck are you talking about>>28654217Yes, you are capable of math right anon?>>28654224I don't think so, just at the very bottom of the primary tank / top of the primary fuel line would be where the probe goes gives a couple miles of a heads up to switch to reserve before running dry.>>28654173Picrel
>>28654226Your engine will turn off and then you can switch to reserve
>>28654230>you are capable of math right anon?if i was so poor that my bike didn't have a low fuel light sensor then i'd probably reset the trip distance computer every time i fill the tank and when i've done 300 km i'd know the 10 ltr tank would be nearly empty and refill it whilst resting the trip computer again.
>>28654231my scooter doesn't have a reserve tank. at least i don't think so.
What are some other bikes that look similar to this? With a flat rectangular headlight mounted low on the front fairing.
>>28654226you must have a really quiet bike then, possibly even a scootermaking you the next femboi anon
>>28654234Oops, forgot the actual picture
>>28654235scooters are the way forward
$1468 us dollarsit's based on the Aveta Ranger 130sold in Mexico, might be good to keep at my house thereI'll be driving on paved roads, cobble stone, straight dirt, and gravel roads130cc semi- auto trans
>>28654242That's the perfect bike for children to learn how to ride a bike.
>>28654242Looks interesting, are floating the idea to us for suggestions or just announcing you're gonna buy it?
>>28654236>>28654234lots of them
>>28654202>i use a mix of 90% water 10% alcohol/cologne in a tiny spray to clean my glasses and it works great, would that work for visors or is plastic different?You don't even need soap. I put a wet cloth over my visor and let it sit until the dust and bug guts are rehydrated then wipe it off. Then dry with a microfiber cloth or soft paper towel.Learned this from cleaning my windshield.
>>28654242im sure you could just get an accord or prius that'd do 10x the mileage for the same priceespecially in spixico
>>28654202alcohol and cleaning products have corrosive materials in them that will damage your visor and possibly create microcracks/tears, that'll just speed up its deterioration warm water and tissues or a towel work bestsoap is bad for plastic
>>28654233No fuel light and no reserve? This is uncommon. What’s the model
>>28654264i'm not the anon without a low fuel light. my yamaha XMAX has a digital fuel gauge
>>28654254>>28654242>>28654246you people always sound like redditors when criticizing chink bikes. this type of chink bike has been being made for decades most of the parts and all will be standardized by now, the engine is probably a 2 valve air cooled single honda clone with not much to go wrong. i would get it, these types of bikes are huge in the third world since they're simple and easy to maintain plus gas is expensive in those countries and they're good on gas. it looks comfy riding around on a poorly maintained third world gravel "highway' on one of those with a milk crate strapped to the back to store your things. i love these utilitarian not flashy bikes even after getting a sports baik.
>>28654268Aren't you embarrassed riding around on a scootie as a grown man? Those are for teenagers who can't afford a car or actual motorcycle.
>>28654252Oh, yeah? Name 50.
>>28654285No. Why would a grown man be embarrassed?
>>28654285I can store two (2) full face helmets under my seat. Can you?
POLL TIME!Is it a 'seat' or a 'saddle'?
>>28654298*whispers*>SNEET
Dumb question. How to figure out if the gloves are working with the touchscreens?
>>28654298Look man, I appreciate the nod from a guy on horseback if I'm out on a ride as much as the next guy, but a motorcycle is not a horse. Saddles have a cinch, stirrups, and a horn.
>>28654305bicycles have saddles. therefor motorised bikes also have saddles.
>>28654250I am not sure about it, need to sit on on and maybe get a first hand review, but they are pretty new.I'm still researching, but my amigo there works on the brand all the time
>>28654274>the engine is probably a 2 valve air cooled single honda cloneit is

>>28654232It will never not be funny when insecure nepobabies has their inferiority complex bleed into their posting.>>28654234>>28654236Majority of late 80s / early 90s jap bikes feature that style of headlamp. Could get a cheap CBR600 that's like that for under 2k.>>28654264>>28654268Nolight anon here, the zx9r has a 1.1L reserve tank. Just no light or gauge.>>28654298The seat is the piece your ass connects to.The saddle is the bag(s) that are typically on the side of the motorcycles rear wheel area.colloquially either works because a motorcycle is a steel steed, but for specfics there's a diff
>>28654319>there's a diffmy scooter doesn't have a differential because it only has one driving wheel
>>28654323Carlos!
>>28654274whats "reddit" about saying an accord is better than some memeshit bike when you need something for transport in mexico?do you want to get raped by wild dogs and beheaded by some random 13 year old? because if you do, ride a putput that cant do 50mph you stupid fucking wetback spic niggeris that more 4channel for you?

>>28654308>bicycles have saddlesYeah, yeah. Some fucking sufferagette was salty she never got a chance to be a real horse girl and dubbed her bike Black Beauty, so now of course we all get to be lectured on how it's much cooler than just a seat.

mechanically speaking; if I bought a hornet 1000spgot a nice big can on it flashed ecu and tuned to original fireblade engine specs or betteri'd in essence have a 2017~ fireblade, but naked, right?but then on top of thatI bet honda have been lazy and the 2025 hornetthe rake is probably around the same angle and size as the firebladesso in theory, you could probably fit their fairings onand get them real cheap from crashed bikes, get a pristine front from a rear end, pristine rear from a wall crash etc.meaning you'd have a 2025-2017 firebladehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uErKI0zWgjgis anyone good at reading spec sheets able to tell me how far off i'd beoutside of handlebar/clipon positions it may be the most inspired frankenbike known to man

>>28654420yeah sure
>>28654080>>28654082These are actually the people offering this bike for $5K off.Which is making me go wtf, I didn't think a stealership would do that unless there's a massive catch
>>28654424Not familiar with it, it's a 500lb bike which makes it the heaviest I have ever ridden. What I do know is it's made to compete with the Transalp and the Tenny and apparently it's competitive to the two.
>>28654420theres a reason its 5k off, and its not because its old stock
>>28654427FtMalp is a good bike but US is neutered a bit, tenny is dope, I'd pick either of those over the 800de but the price is good. don't listen to the anon above me he's fear mongering, just buy it and be happy. too many miserable, negative people here

>>28654476>can I get a qrd? every review I read says it's a wonderful bikethat specific bike probably has an issueunless its neon yellow and they cant shift it, and need space for a 2025 model, they wouldnt drop the price that muchand even if it was just a colour problem, it wouldnt be a 5k drop in pricethey'll get their money back from you from repeat custom with CERTIFIED repairs or some other nickel and dime shittheyre kikes and theyre in it to make a buck, not to give out cheap bikes price drops like that are ALWAYS suspicious
What the fuck is up with the used market right now. Looking for specitic models is like searching for hen's teeth. I went to look for a used Transalp and there's like, 2, in my entire state across multiple services like craigslist, cycle trader, etc. The prices aren't anything great either. Yeah, you save on dealer's fees, but people are selling bikes that are averaging 8000mi a year for $1-2k under MSRP, which is honestly pretty damn high mileage per year around here.I've heard horror stories about the used car market, but I thought bikes weren't in the same boat.
>>28654478you're totally right I'm actually that guy (whoever that is) and you're not wrong, wow you caught me!
>>28654484>Ehrm why is the market for bikes not good in the tail end of summer/early fallGee idk BUD. >Also why are high CC adv bikes that attract reddditboomers with huge swaths of cash highly priced. Couldn't tell ya.
>>28654482>>28654420I may have figured out why: It's not the DE model. When I looked up the wheel base and suspension I noticed they were off from the model I saw. After looking it up it turns out I was right: It's the touring vstrom. In which case it's MSRP is 10K. But 8.5OTD is still a great deal on that, right? It's not like I can't get spoked wheels and new forks for it.
>>28654492a drop of 2.5k isnt too bad, depending on your state and taxes etc. but i'd still be weary of them trying to jew you
Wanna get leathers for when I get my 150+mph bike.But wanna save for a clapped out GIXXER THOU.But really want a clapped out 600 instead if it wasn't for piggers.Idk brehs, I just want to get a supersport and turn it naked, then go 150mph and feel the windforce assaulting me. Maybe I'll go bike first, this ultra CLAPPED ZX6R has me horny, all it needs is a some led bars in the front to replace that travesty. If only he waited 2 or 3 months to post it and it would be mine.

>>28654543no bro I am totally gonna ride the pan-american highway as soon as my youngest graduates
>>28654543The problem with a mid-life crisis is that they usually aren't a crisis. It's a guy finally earning enough to financially cover his family's needs and have some left over, so if course he's going to spend it on things he's always wanted but put off because responsibility called first.You want a real midlife crisis? Try realizing that you're sliding into the back half of your life so you dig in hard to what's left of your sport at your age because you know you've got a decade left before it hurts too much the next day. Or the guys who just start chasing 20 year olds because women they're own age make them depressed.
Why does barely anyone ever bring up R25 and 250 Gixxer when talking about beginner bikes? Only Ninja 250 and CBR 250. Is there something I'm not seeing?
>>28654544>see wheelie post wheeliePost wheelies
>>28654578Because lots of people bought ninja/cbr 250 which drives the used price down, and you shouldn't buy new for your first bike.

Fake Yoshi sounds really good. Classic Japanese sport bike sound. I was worried this morning it would be too quiet because it sounded almost like a stock bike on my way to work. I guess the fiberglass matting broke in a bit or something because after my ride home it sounded perfect. Not to loud, not too quiet.>>28654186There's probably other techniques, but I stand behind the bike with it on the stand. Get the stand seated on the swing arm at and angle. Simultaneously push the bone up right with your left arm, and keep pressure on the stand so it stays seated to the swing arm and the ground as the bike stands up. Once the bike is fully up, immediately put more pressure on the stand so it grabs the rear weight of the bike and then press the stand into position to hold the bike. It's definitely tricky and requires some practice. I recommend practicing with someone to catch the bike from the front of it starts to go one way or the other.

>>28654741Oh, buddy. Shit's been getting weird.
>>28654688It's alright. It's a big ass dirt bike that can go 90mph. I don't push it nearly enough to need a dirt bike though. I won't take dirt roads over 40mph yet, I still can't pop the front up and jump curbs yet, I've broken the rear loose on a sharp turn a whopping 2 times so far, you get the picture.At the time I got the 650, dr-z was still the old carbed version, and it was buzzy as fuck above 65mph. Sadly, I have to spend nearly an hour over 70mph every time I want to GTFO of town.

I almost died like 3 times today because there was an unexpectedly high amount of traffic today where I live so I've literally never even had to learn to brake properly with years of riding. I've always just engine braked but today there were constant cars stopping and going.
>>28654501based
>>28654754I’m intrigued about them despite the drz being more popular. Carb doesn’t really matter as much for me just more trying to find what will be the best next bike to replace my lil klx 300 peashooter.You do any jet kit airbox or the other standard “power” mods?
>>28654786>best next bikeKTM 500
>>28654786The DR650 is better I wonder why the DRZ is more popular. The DR650 can cruise at 75mph easily and both of them are too heavy to do crazy technical off roading easily anyway so the 30 pound or whatever lower weight for the DRZ is inconsequential. DR650 is even often cheaper with 250 extra CCs.
>>28654786Not yet. I'm kind of Vince Strang's opinion on the air box mods. Unless you have access to a dyno, you're fiddling around with all of the air intake, jetting, and exhaust, and it's all just "feels more powerful now, bro". Meanwhile you probably just fucked up your gas mileage.I absolutely will be upgrading the forks with stiffer springs and cartridge emulators when it's time to change the fork oil though. Shit's so fucking undersprung you nose dive at every red light so hard that you bounce up when you let off the front brake. That shit alone might make the new 4s worth it if they actual come sprung for a 180lbs rider.
>>28654797>and it's all just "feels more powerful now, bro"You gotta read your plug. And a bike will give you a lot more feedback via sound, like popping on decel, than a car.
>>28654790Damn man I’m just not the rider for that I’m a scrub off-road and I like to rack up miles screwing around in the country.>>28654791Yeah I’ve wondered about that too maybe it’s due to the factory sumo side. See probably 3:1 sumo to dualsport on marketplace here. Anyway yeah I’m not a hard terrain enjoyer i just like blasting a berm and kicking up dust and doing liljumps. Klx is nice but I have to avoid interstate. I’ll post here when I make up my damn mind about what to get but the DR and drz are basically the options I’m serious about
>>28654564>you know you've got a decade left before it hurts too much the next dayI dont get this. I mean I do, but if chinese elderly can do literal gymnastics in the park then how come doing a little hobby takes a toll on American' bodies so bad? I dont think it is age itself. Diet, stretching, and wearing properly fitting shoes is the most important thing if you want to stay active in your older years.
>>28654797Yeah I think performance mods are overdone somewhat but I haven’t really looked into them too far. I did a fuel dongle, throttle plate delete, pipe on my klx all for maybe a couple hp and bad mileage lol. Idk how I’m gonna offload this thing it sounds like metal bees inside it
this mf rode a 500cc norton, i wonder what he would ride today
>>28654804>rack up miles screwing around in the country.tbqh, I dont know shit about the KTM, but it would be good for that too, I would think.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT0f69MKW0kOr you could get a plated XR650R and ASCEND >:)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fM1hEuz6_OM
>>28654791In a word, suspension. The front on the dr-z is fully adjustable. You get what you get on the 650. If you going to be doing rough shit at speed? Dr-z, 100%. I'm not saying crazy shit like the Honda 450 or a KTM aren't even better, but for a relatively low maintenance dual sport that still gives you enough rope to hang yourself down with, DR-Z is probably the best there is.
>>28654808there was an xr650r not too long ago but it was BiLl of SaLe only of course. Would be sick though. Those ktms have pretty intense maintenance intervals but the bottom line is I’m just not gonna be able to ride it well enough
>>28654786Either way both bikes benefit greatly with a pumper carb. I had a drz with a fcr39 mx carb and that carb made the bike so much better. Ran cooler too. Way better in all conditions. Less buzzy at high speeds.
Should I get a DR650 if my friend also has one? I like those bikes but we won't ever have a reason to swap bikes for a change if we just have the same one.

Not only should all the bikes be the sameas I said here >>28655369, but there should be a minimum weight to riders to try and even the physical playing field between taller vs shorter riders. Chess and Go are two equal sides with the only variable being who starts first.Boxing, tennis, etc sports are all essentially equalQuake 1v1 only variable is beginning spawn.Highest skill match up in Starcraft is TvT with variable spawn, highest skill match up in Streetfighter is Ryu vs Ryu with variable side startA racer's race would remove these clown capitalist manufacturers from the equation entirely, all bikes should be identical except for the adjustments to fit riders. Anything else is just playing defense for billionaires and their marketing teams.

Okay I've looked at a chinesium adventure scooter and I want it right now lmao.

The sales guy handed me off to the numbers guy and he comes back>We got a smoking hot deal for you at 9,999>what happened to 8,599?>What? 9,999? Yeah sure man I can do that.That's what I get for not pulling the trigger immediately. It's still not a bad price since that's dealer's MSRP but the fact they creeped it up by 1.5K when I had checkbook in hand ready to pay makes me not want to even consider it anymore.
>>28655470Fucking setup for a holy war, anon. Short answer? How much comfort and top end are you willing to give up in order to risk breaking a rib trying to catch air over a berm? No wind protection, a 300lbs bike, the drone of a 70% dirt 30% road tire, just so you can rattle your teeth out by racing over a bunch of rocks at 50mph? Probably should be on a dual sport. 2-5 day tour across God knows what terrain just for the fun of being on the bike? Plan on hitting 100mph on the boring stretches of highway? Probably an ADV bike.The line got blurry because a bunch of MX and enduro guys got older, got tired of being miserable and bored on the highway, and figured out they were good enough riders to catch air on relatively expensive, heavy shit like T7s and Kove 450s, and now that's every fucking ad for an ADV bike despite most guys on an Vstrom or a BMW 1300 never riding like that.
>>28655473I don’t appreciate his cuck mug posted with /adv/ in every thread. keep the sow but blur that face ffs
>>28654737So far there's 3 KTM 390 anons that I know of that post here.There's one that doesn't post that much and has a 390 ADV and had a 360 cam I think because he shared a webm, then there's the RC 390 who fucked up his leg, and doesn't post often as well, and the one being called a faggot by almost all of dbt is the one with the Duke, besides being a fucking leaf, yet he is the one that has been posting regularly.
>>28655933>the one with the DukeWe love that guy here.
Mostly would be comfort vs weight, it will depend significantly on what the end goal is. So if you are doing trips that are over 150miles a day keeping a high speed on the highway, then picking up the ADV is better. Yet I would say that it will also depend quite a bit of the bike itself that you are considering, if it where to pick one of the same brand like KTM 390 ADV R vs Enduro R, imo I just think the Enduro is a better pick for the price, yet you will have a crappier light and miss on having a GPS mount vs the other one, yet there's always workarounds on these things and that will depend on the person.
