First for Yamaha
tfw
I got a DRZ400 for $500 mint condition with 400 miles because the owner was rich as fuck and just thought 400cc was too much and didn't care to get his money back.
>>28657081>best rider on /dbt/ rides a jeetshit 390how did it come to this
>>28657083KTM are European, Iass.
Nvm the adjustment on the rebel was not ok
Look at this KTM though
>leaffaggot spamming reports nowLOL
>>28657095100% of the reports.
Reposting cause no one answered:Where can I find the value of a bike. I was looking at a Triumph america 2002, with about 30k miles. Needs a very minor repair and then has some cosmetic damage. Asking price is $3.5k. Is that reasonable?
>>28657104Check the local used market, see how much its listed for. Craigslist, FBM etc. The next would be some insurance platform, it should list IDV. Something like kelly blue book?
>>28657082Shit bait, GTFO.
Its over for meJust a while ago I went to fill up the bike and as I'm doing it a gypsy woman walked up to me and asked for 5 bucks.I said nope then she looked at me with an angry face and said I was going to crash within 30 days and walked away
>>28657077Baste sgooder >>28657081Baste wheelie practicer>>28657092Baste curry in a hurry
>>28657092Half decent bike, it uses the old 373cc KTM engine, not only this, all the new Triumph 400s are also KTM/Bajaj.
>>28657087Why are there so many posters /here/ larping as Scots fowk. Most of you are either Yanks or annoying brown. They would stomp your fucking guts out in Glasgow.
>>28657077First post is a scoot, blessed thread.
>>28657068The tire doesn't want to move easily. Should I use lithium grease and just wait a week for that? The wheel struggles to spin now.
>>28657122>Oi, got loicense to post that mate? >You got them illegal pepes on your phone? You can't do that now can you?UK sounds like a nightmare, you guys can enjoy it all by yourselves, we'll enjoy our scoots.
>>28657122My father is literally (literally) Scotish as in born and raised near Glasgow though, Iass. He hated being Scottish THOUGH, this rant in Trainspotting was among his rant movie scenes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqgkZDbe4Xk
>>28657131Could be worse. Wales exists.
>>28657122It’s literally just the leaffag, doing his normal polfag shit He thinks he’s being insulting, but you just filter the word and half the thread disappears LOL
/adventure/
>>28657137If ya had filtered the word then ya wouldn't have seen the reply ya just responded too, Iass. Top larp + mindbroken by Canada.
too easy
Like I list the bike and need to really force the tire to rotate and it makes a sound like it is rubbing metal but otherwise just really struggling to spin.
22,000 miles. All the lanklet mods already done. Yay or nay dbt?
>>28657068>my bike used for the OPlessgo
>>28657113>jelly tranime fag mad he cant get good deals>not that he even rides a motorcycle or knows how to even operate a manual car
>>28657122But why
I'm really happy with how the new exhaust turned out. Looks so good.Hopefully the paint doesn't flake off like the other anon had happen.
>>28657171Why do you have all those cameras if you never post any riding. I've been waiting for you to post something interesting for ages, I'm assuming you ride at least slightly most interesting than the one video of you waiting for someone to change lanes.
>>28657173Post the one where you ride on the sidewalk Fuckin tryhard lol nobody here cares about your feelings or opinions
>>28657173mate I take out the cameras like 3 times a year, doing all that shit + editing is just cumbersome atp
'ku
>>28657182Bullshit, and what are ya doin drag racing cagies in a straight line as if you aren't gonna blow them the fuck out everytime. Go and record some highway rippin or canyons for /dbt/, I would slay all of my country men for your bike. >>28657180Thank you, IoonyIass.
been out of the bike game for a few years but wading back in and watching youtube videos. is yammie noob still considered to be a juvenile clown? (last i remember of him were his reckless self-inflicted mega accidents.) are there newer bike channels (like fortnine) that have quality reviews i should check out?
>>28657191can a nigga live
>>28657080I like how Kawasaki is using tubes, not some ugly bulky shit like Honda does
>>28657194Yeah I already noticed from your other pics, Iass, its the only reason I care enough to see you post some footage. You should get rid of your cringe mirrors thoughever, looks almost as uggo as the obese 90's tails the reddïtdads love posting.
Wish KTM anon lived anywhere near some curves so he would crash and stop posting already
>>28657202I wanted to take them off but there are no good looking block-offs that would match the color. I'll consider it again for next season
>>28657205Doesn't come in generic black? Also do you run fake plates, or just eat the tickets?
>>28657204Thank you schizosister.
Will the R6 overheat in city traffic?
>>28657206black yes, but me want yamah blu ones.most of the time I got my plate on.I dont run from cops anymore, but I also dont get any tickets since 90% of speed traps here are front-facing
I want to upsize from a Kawasaki z500. I also want it to be usable for track (so looking at sport only), as I want to start getting into that. A litre bike seems too much, while some 600-700cc seems like too little. Seems like the Yamaha R9 is the best option here. Any thoughts?
>>28657213>the Yamaha R9 is the best optionYes.R9/GSXR750
>>28657210No
>>28657213In the same boat and also narrowed it down to R9 or GSXR750. With a side of 765RS and F900R. I want a wind screen though and the F900R would be a nicer road bike, but only has a 3.5 gal tank.
Guy I watched put the spacers on the wrong sides.
>>28657213if you have a lot of money to buy it brand new then the R9 is betterif you want to save money then an old gixxer750 will be fine
>>28657212If you have your plate on and don't run, how is your bike not impounded yet? Pure luck?
>>28657213Ignore the other tards, LAR9P doesn't even have a usable frame and is only fit for #biktok pictures, any of the 600 supersports are good, but R6 will last the longest before you have to replace the suspension, brakes, etc as you get better.
>>28657253well sometimes they flash their lights at me but before they have time to go or turn around im already gone, besides, here if you dont stop they have no way to prove it was you riding the bike. So even if they get ur plate, as long as u dont stop thye cant do shit
>>28657213Theres only 1 answer.929/954 Fireblade The perfect balance of nimble 600-esc handling and liter bike power. Not to mention the bloody bugger has a boot.>Honorable mentions: GSXR 750 and ZX9R
Guy told me my chain isn't tight when walking by. Swing arm says it is a 1in sag and its just over 1in right now. Should I re adjust?
>>28657193They are both just influencer grifters. But 4rt9 makes better videos
>>28657195Yeah I looked at the transalp at the dealer and that's what I noticed as well, huge metal rear rack. Could definitely shave some weight with smaller diameter metal. Not sure why Honda made it so huge
>>28657259Can you explain the R9 not having a "usable frame"? Didn't find anything online complaining about the frame specifically. Are you talking about the new 2025 frame specifically?
>>28657271Yes.
>>28657290Lar9p retard is just typical contrarian who's obsessed with bashing the R9.
I've heard that before from amerifats, here you are responsible for the actions of the bike unless you can name the person you pretended to lend it to, or have proof it was actually stolen. They also track you if you run from them even if they don't take it to court, your plate and license becomes "hot" and they'll pull you over just to harass and fuck with you for any minor infraction you have (missing mirrors, turn signals, tail tuck, etc).
>>28657290The guy you’re talking to rides a 390 fwiw

>>28657298was for>>28657265
>zx4r is a thing>cbr500r Sufor is coming soonWhat are the chances Yamaha will be next?
>>28657213Do you want track or street oriented ergonomics and engine?Any street bike, especially the sport editions with upgraded suspension and brakes, is more than likely better than what you can max out any time soon.Track bikes are generally pretty awful everywhere else except on the track.MT09SP is what I'd go for. Street Triple 765 is also great sporty street bike. KTM 790 and 890 are also great fun, but some of their engines had issues.
>>28657290Already having to be modified in MA/SSB/WSBK, nu-Yamaha have bad frames, see the MT-09 being literally infamous for frame cracking, even from factory kek. Yamaha is turning into a jewish brand that only exists to suck the cash from its loyal consumer base who will die on any hill so long as that hill has the company name on it. Kawasaki makes new stuff, Suzuki just keeps the old good things rolling, Honda offers reliability (at the cost of performance), Yamaha removes the R6 and replaces it with a paralLEL twin CP2 that is now the engine for 90% of its roster using different names to trick its retarded fanbase. The literal only reason for the LAR7P and LAR9P to exist while removing the R6 as an option is to trick people into buying these more profitable bikes. Don't believe me? They are still making the R6, its just track-only. So you can't even say that the R6 was costing them too much to produce, its purely just a money grubbing scheme.ParalLEL twin and triples are just easier and more profitable to produce, Yamaha has given up being a racing brand, its just for LARPing now.
>>28657213>600cc seems like too little
>>28657339I want to use it for track riding, but still be able to drive it over to the track without having to put it on the back of a truck or trailer. I've never done track before, so maybe starting off with a track specific bike is overkill, but I also don't want to have to buy a new bike every 1-2 years as I progress.I feel as though I probably won't be making the most use of a $400 track day if I bring my current z500 there.
>>28657363>but still be able to drive it over to the track without having to put it on the back of a truck or trailer.Bad play, track is where you go to crash, driving your bike there is already a semi bad idea, but using your main bike is the worst idea. You don't stunt your main bike, you don't track your main bike. You have pet bikes that are made to be thrashed for those purposes, unless you like being nobike for weeks waiting for parts because your lowside broke your rearsets and shifter.
>>28657363>>28657383Also I'm NTA.
>>28657268I'm probably gonna buy new and I don't think they make the cbr900s anymore in their lineup. At least I couldn't find it on the Honda website
>>28657298that sounds ruff, its not like that here at all, its pretty chill here
>>28657363You're not going to grow out of 100hp< street bike with fully adjustable suspension any time soon if you've been currently riding a 50hp beginner bike.If you don't plan on riding on the street besides to and from the track, the classic Japanese 600cc track bikes from around the 2010 are likely your best bet.
>>28657292Not happening. Suffered enough getting it there with the tire change.
>>28657363I rode to the track because it was 10 minutes away for years. I got clowned but whatever The biggest downside was hauling a gallon of water and snacks. My wife and kids would usually come at lunch though and bring me provisions.I also would get a garage with a few people to keep out of the sun.Smart play is trailer and pack everything but I’m not very smart
>>28657427>10 minutes awayYeah no one else on the planet is 10 mins away from a track bud.
>>28657427The track is 40 minutes away for me, but I wanted to avoid having to put the bike on a trailer since it would essentially be adding 2 hours of setup time to rent the trailer, set it up, and return it the next day. I'm a rentoid so I don't have a garage to store a trailer even if I bought it. Storage space for water,snacks, small tools I'm not too worried about with a backpack, side motorcycle cargo cases.
>>28656988Thanks fren. I'm still like 80% tempted even at that price which is what I think was their goal all along. It's not a bad price, it's still at or below MSRP however you want to think about it (MSRP is maybe $500 higher), but holy shit the fact they tried to hook me with the first price put a sour taste in my mouth from even trying. If they had told me the first number I may already have done it, because so far if I want sport touring, the vstrom is probably my best bet without putting the price of a small car into it.
>>28657154Based FJ rider.Do get a 17" rear wheel though, it makes a real difference.
>>28657442Yeah it was really lucky. It's closed now, rip.>>28657446Godspeed, you'll figure out what works best for you. The important thing is to just go.
>>28657452tldr since this was two threads ago: dealership tried to sell me on a Vstrom 800 touring for 8599 OTD, suddenly price became 9999 when numbers guy who wasn't sales guy showed up. idk if a touring model that can't do dirt is even worth that.
>>28657453In regards to what, handling?
>>28657456>>28657452I'm not sure I'm sold on the idea of adventure bikes on the dirt anyway. Yeah, sure, they can do it, but if you want dirt get a dual sport. If you want mixed get whatever you want. Anything can do mixed man. i've seen R6s on gravel with street tires do just fine. Adventure bikes are generally a meme off-road because they weigh 400 pounds and you get by purely with torque and throttle. idk about those numbers but I can say that a tenere 700, the GOAT of mixed riding bikes, is 10,5 MSRP
>>28657068If you guys wanted to setup an R6 for touring, what would you do to it? >bigger windscreen>raised clip-ons or dirt bike bar conversion>adjustable rearsets
>>28657458Yes, it takes away a lot of the "falling into corners" feeling. I also added a 25mm rear lift kit and lowered the front a bit by pushing the fork through the bridges though and that also makes a difference.
>>28657485i'd call my local Honda dealership and ask how much they'd give me for my old R6 towards a Goldwing
>>28657489>dealershipI hadn't thought about that. I thought about trading someone for an FZ6 or FZ1 or just selling it, but it's got Monatana plates. That might scare some people off. The Montana reg is pretty convenient, though, because it doesn't need to be renewed. This bike was only $600 and it's practically brand new.
>>28657501Setting up the R6 for touring would be way cooler than getting a ready made solution
What's the most I should pay for a tenny? It seems I can't find any used because nobody ever wants to sell one.
>>28657488Checked them.Aight, I'll keep that in mind. I have to change the tires first and foremost as they are really hard and slip pretty severely.What tires have you had on yours? I dont mind shelling out some dosh for some really good rubbers.
>>28657515>Setting up the R6 for touring would be way cooler than getting a ready made solutionHmmm, yes. I suppose there is some cool factor to that. I'm definitely leaning towards keeping it and modifying it to suit my needs.
>>28657387>Imma buy newslop from a stealershipAh, ok. By all means indulge yourself anon.
I have spent the last hour in google map satellite view looking for lots to dwell in.
>>28657535based. I need to do that.
>>28657546Finding the ones for wheelies is easy because all you need are those straight industrial loading bays that all the stunters use, but actually I want a really fucking big one to practice corner entry at a reasonable speed unlike the usual useless <20kmh Homojitsu drills, I'm thinking something like 70kmh or so. Just need a nice flat area without the concrete lamp-posts they love spamming everywhere in parking lots, don't want to wrap myself around those. The ferries and railways have them, but usually have security guards, especially the railway ones, I'm going to check a couple of the ferry lots late at night I think. Perhaps some of the further out places away from most people might also leave their lots without a gate.
>Drop street view near raceway to see if I'm looking at gravel>These two bozos show upLol.
>>28657533Not a mechanic and especially for track don't want to risk my life with some vehicle I have no clue the history on when I can afford new just fine. Stealership part I get slop part I dont
>>28657533buying new/used from the stealership is probably the best idea instead of considering something out of craiglist or fb marketplace...
Did a bit of soggy scootin
>See random race course on map>Completely unmarked>Looking up address doesn't show anything>Wtf?>Snoop around in street view>Its a piggy courseMy tax dollars paid for a private piggy race course that I'm not allowed to use. The ultimate and final cuck.
>>28657574The closest shooting range went police only the year before I started shooting. I went to apply for a job and some tactical boomer came out yelling with his hand on his gun.
>>28657573Sweet. Be safe lil bro.
>>28657574it's a bit short and doesn't look that great, you'd have to make a chicane in the long section too to slow down cars because those run-offs don't look long enough
>>28657582Yeah but its close and just sitting there, any course is better than no course.
>>28657485Buy a couple touring shitbikes for $200 each and join v4 gang
But why there's no motorcycles with CVT? There's maxi scooters with 500cc engines, so the torque is not an issue apparently.
>>28657648>blue frame SSi KNOW you were speeding
Has anyone used motion pro chain tools? I bought one but the breaker bolt snapped on me. Very cheap metal for what it costs. What's a good set so I don't get gypped again?
>>28657573cute and small
>>28657566No kando, No Sakai.>>28657571If you're a sucker who can't wrench then absolutely. Go pay more for less.
>>28657615China makes them. Cvt cfmotos exist.Dct is simply more widely liked.
urge to buy another bike has reached peak levels. keep flip-flopping between minimoto, VFR, striple, indian scout, V4R, m1krr, I'm all over the place. I have no clue what I want or how much I want to spend, only have room for 1 more realistically
>>28657654weird, my motion pro chain tool has been used a couple of times now and seems indestructible. you should be able to warranty it honestly https://www.motionpro.com/a/warranty
>>28657685What bikes do you already have and what do you need this next one to be?VFRs are awesome, specfically the 5th gen ones. However my answer depends on what you got already
>>286576902 supersport liter bikes, naked, sport touring/adv dad bike
>trying to find a neat jet tag for my keys>op link that I remembered that had a bunch of stuff is gone>amazon full of boring "drop a gear disappear" "remove before flight" tags>etsy full of dragon ball/one piece/mha/narutoaaaaaaa why can't I remember any of those companies that actually made good stuff like vinyl stickers and jet tags
>>28657651Just like that huh? I see how it is
>>28657578Same thing happened to me but with a job at Boeing. It seems most of everything fun has been privatized under the guise of federalized.
>>28657654>>28657689How do you use it, just make sprocket and chain in a straight line going to the front sprocket?
>>28657615I wonder too. It probably wont sell well because vroom vroom activates normie neurons more than vroooooooooom. The AK550 engine might be able to be shoehorned into something if you can weld.
>>28657689I had this one. The bolt for breaking the pin snapped on me.
>>28655646>If you wanted the DE anyways it wasn't worth your time.Maybe. I'm not sure exactly what I want because this is my first adventure bike. any Vstrom chads want to chime in and maybe tell me which bike I should be aiming for?
>>28657751mine is different, I got the PBR one.>>28657738idk what you mean desu. break old chain with tool set to Break position, perpendicular to chain. crank secure it with the main bolt and then you crank the pin to push it out and break the link. I ripped an impact gun on it last time, yoinked that shit out in seconds
>>28657593SICKI saw one of these a couple months back. It was pristine.>>28657654My D.I.D. tool stripped on the first use.>>28657733par for the course or the engayification of everything.>>28657685Same. I've been looking at police road kangs and Aprilia Tuono 1000s.
Weather was good so I knocked off early and found some spots to dick around near where I live. I started scouring google maps to find any cool tracks or trails that aren't fenced off on my work commute.
>>28657654I've had this DRC chain breaker for years and it's great.
>>28657860nice
singles and pissers sounds pretty good if you know how to shift. nice engines can sound shitty if you don't know how to shift.
>>28657914V-Rod is cool but I like the VMax more
>>28657936>make a v4>put it in some obscure as fuck literally who bike>everything else is a cp2Yamaha is stupid
>>28657936The VMAX really has been the king of muscle cruisers since it's inception in 85.
>>28657938Yamaha offers more different engine configurations than the other brands, get the fuck out
>>28657938>Literally who bike>One of the fastest accelerating bikes ever make
>>28657781>>28657827>>28657863Chain breakers seem unnecessarily hard on the tool set. I grind the heads of the rivets off first then use the breaker in my cheap rivet tool set to pop the link out.
We've reached peak Sugomi
>>28657992What's better Kando or Sugomi?
>>28658011SugominutsKandoanal
>>28657363>I also don't want to have to buy a new bike every 1-2 years as I progressIf you want to get into track riding your going to buy a bike every year or two from clapping the bike hard anyways and if not a new bike, you'll rebuild the bike every year or two then. Also, you won't hit the handling limit of a z500 in a single track day
Reading the thread I've learned that different people ride bikes for different reasons. I have no interest in taking a bike to a track to ride for lap times but I take great delight in filtering through traffic at twice their speed.
>>28658048What do you ride?
>>28658052A motorcycle. :)
>>28658052Definitely NOT a scooter.
>>28658052I really am beginning to genuinely believe everyone still here is just a bus rider
>>28658061yea but i sit in the front seat which makes me the co-driver
>>28658063it makes you rosa parks, you stupid nigger
Long day of riding with friends, didn’t even go fast, just were riding all day. Proper tuckered out, it feels so good to just ride even if you’re not hauling ass and practicing on improving a skill.Every type of riding is so fucking fun, I love what this hobby has done for my life I’m so much more outgoing and happy now. I love motorcycles
>>>28656918Probably won't post right or anon won't see it but my bike has a hydraulic clutch that's uses a master cylinder (attached to the clutch handle) and slave cylinder (attached to the engine). The ring collapsed and got gunked some how. Engine oil doesn't interact with it so probably just seals and spring dying from enough time in brake fluid but it was cheaper to just get another off a donor than rebuild
>>28658064>rosa parkshold while i google that shit to find out if you're trying to insult mejust wait i'll be back i promise
>>28658065it's the feeling of freedom
for me it's the feeling of knowing that if you make even a small mistake you could die so you have to be absolutely perfect and i love being perfect.
>>28658048I always bet on sport touring. Hasn't let me down and they tend to be much cozier versions of their sport counterparts
>>28657213I would say that you should just use the one you got first on the track, Z500 can get ya quite far if you are just starting on there, but NEVER DO IT if its the ONLY ONE YOU GOT. I would go with a GSX-8R myself if I could but I guess the deals for used 750cc gixxers are good and abundant, so you save that money and put it on going to the track. Otherwise go find a low cc bike for cheap and run it like hell, a lot of R6 owners who do track buy a 2nd hand R15/3A first and put them through hell, besides some races being low cc exclusive.Also what >>28657290 says about Yamaha is sadly true, they don't make them like they used to.>>28657339the KTM 790s where mostly the ones with issues since CFMoto was doing the stuff for them, yet now that CFMoto themselves putted out the 800MT-X model, they most likely fixed it meanwhile KTM took all the bad shit as a shield kek. Still fuck CFMoto for making the entirety of T-box owners be treated like shit.>>28657471ADVs are for doing both highway and dirt somewhat comfortably on either terrain, kinda like a SUV, won't do amazing in either vs a cruiser or DS, but it can get by with no problem. Imo KTM 390 Enduro R is most likely the closest an ADV bike comes to be in Dual Sport territory without being terrible on the highway.Scooterchads always win though.
>>28658077>Scooterchads always winbased
>>28658079wrong pic
>>28658071Look at this newfag who started riding last week and wants people to know how "dangerous" his hobby he's posing as is because he's not used to riding and knowing this all the time.
>>28658077I see your bazooka scoot and present you, ATGM Ural
>>28658086actually i learned about being a vulnerable road user when i rode bicycles really fast on the road. now i get paid to ride my motorcycle delivering things.
>>28658092Oh so you're also a poojeet because they're the only ones who deliver food on fucking "motorcycles" which I bet is actually a 125cc Chinese scooter, isn't it Poojesh?
>>28658093who said anything about food?
>>28658095>childlike level of smartassery70 IQ worked hard for this. Fuck right out of my country "desi" manlet.
>>28658095Their insecurity shouted it.
>>28658088Ural with a PTRD-41 anti tank rifle
>>28657077Is it too much of a gamble to wait for the bike I want to get a deal on it next year? Really want a 2025 white TrannySlap, Two of the local dealers have 2024 models for almost exactly $10k OtD with discounts. I don't want a Black 2024 model, however. I don't want to pay almost $13k OtD for a 2025, so waiting a couple months and hoping they still have a holdover seems like the best option. There are 4 white 2025s in my area, one of them has to stick around past when the 2026s start rolling in, right? Motorcycle sales numbers are down, and I don't think we'll see a buying a frenzy soon. Should I wait, or should I just attempt to negotiate down the price as low as possible to get the color and bike I want now?
>>28658107winter is the best time to buy a motorcycle because demand will be low so sellers would be more desperate to accept lower offers.
>>28658109I get that. I think I'm just a little bike crazy and cash flush at the moment. I'm down to only one now after selling my grandpa's road kang for a ridiculous price, and selling my DR-400 2 years ago for another ridiculous price. I'm down to just my 01 Savage and well I love it, I need something bigger and more capable, and I've been getting impatient everyday I head to work on my 24yo thumper cruiser.
