>>28662533>dude watches "races"lmao post ur 3 incher
>>28662533They dominated WSBK recently desu. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Superbike_World_Champions
Finally, a non-ugly Yamaha girl. You can thank me now.
Why do these get such little attention? When I watch Naked bike reviews its always:>Aprillia Tuono>KTM 1290 Super Duke>BMW S1000r>Yamaha MT-10Year after year
>>28662601Nobody knows any 'zuki bikes other than the GSXR and the 'busa.
>>28662608PV50
>>28662601150hp doesn't get you into the big leagues anymore.
>>28662601A cheaper option which gives about the same level of fun.Profits baby, profits.
>>28662601suzuki isn't sexy, european brands are sexy, crossplane engines are sexy.Good fundamentals don't sell, you need that little extra to grab people's attention.
>>28662601It's ugly and looks cheap, that's it.
>>28662552>Jonathan Rea dominated WSBK FIFY
>>28662601Would sell better as a half fairing instead of a naked and better fit the suzuki brand.

/adventure/
>>28662652Suzuki 250 sucks balls though, each brand has their good and bad models. Also European brands are indeed sexy, nips have terrible aesthetics.
who here /currentlytouring/ im omw to San Diego CA from Augusta ME
>>28662763>nips have terrible aesthetics.brother you're excused
>>28662764yeah, no youre not.
>>28662765Excused from what, this looks like dogshit. Utterly failed attempt to use DUDE RETRO LMAO to draw in sales because they have no aesthetic mind.
>>28662760adventure bro, what bike should I get for a short king like me?
Europeans already did the Neo-cafe idea much better anyways, which makes sense since cafe racers are inherently European.
I passed and I can now buy a 125cc motorcycle
>>28662770how short are we talking?if youre confident and like 5'5, you can probably manage a lowered GS, Tiger900, or Tenere
>>28662772pic not related? cause that's hideous
Also, Augusta has the sexiest side exhaust of any brand, crazy how lazy the other brands are in comparison.>>28662777>t. third worlder

>>28662782Thank you Jamal.
>>28662783you welcome blud tell yo girl I'll see her same time next week
you are arguing with the canadian crackheadstop
>>28662776About 5'8"Only thing I've sat on that works so far is the vstrom
>>28662784Thank you Jamal.
>>28662776>tenereAlso this thing was so tall for me that I could barely touch with one foot scoot over. I'd have to lower the seat if I went with that.
wow so the bike general is as shit as every other general on this gay website
>>28662789Because of you, yes.
>>28662786>>28662788probably best to look at and find the bike you like the most, then research lowering kits or lowered seats
>>28662789It was good about a year ago.What sees to happen is anything that gets good attracts schizos and eventually people who feel its their job to fight those schizos, and this becomes their battleground
>>28662789a couple weeks ago it was the "drake" fagnow its the leaffag
>>28662791I love the tenere, but again, I didn't feel as comfortable on it as I did on the vstrom which I'm not as impressed with. [spoiler]or the Ibex 450 which is the other adv that fits me like a glove[/spoiler]
>>28662789God forbid you have a functioning visual cortex and express your opinion about the butt ugly bikes dipshits here are obsessed with.
>>28662790that was my first post here>>28662792>who feel its their job to fight those schizosand every argument is the fucking same. >immediate reference to black people and cuckolding, wow dude real groundbreaking stuff on 4chan 2025
>>28662798black people and cuckolding is America's gods so that's why all appeals must contort to match this reality.
>>28662794>it was the "drake" fagThat guy is still here, he's obsessed with the leaf.
>>28662796>cfmoto anon... do not buy chinkshit
>>28662803I know, I know. But in terms of fit, it fit well. Wouldn't touch a chinese parallel twin with a ten foot pole
>chinkshitWhy are we still pretending like China isn't a more developed country than our own?
>>28662817Because they have zero fucking standards. They'll do that kind of work for the Chinese government because they will kill them if it's sub-par. It took many years of bridge collapses and multiple CEOs and their families disappearing for that problem to be solved. You buying a cheap bike in America made to undercut Japanese bikes don't command that kind of authority or respect. In China, respect is directly related to how likely you are to kill them.
>>28662829>they will kill them if it's sub-par.Based, compare that to the US where they put women in charge of bridges and then have the collapsed bridge kill innocent people. We should be happy the Chinese are making better bikes, the Nips have been asleep for 20 years, and European brands don't make low CC bikes, and if they do, they export it off to India anyways like KTM and Aprillia.
I will say China does get one thing right in that they'll actually punish people for making sub-par work for them. Everywhere else they just shrug and say "That's capitalism" and then continue to get scammed again and again. That's why the US Government still levies protection on Harley Davidson despite getting scammed by them for the fifth or sixth time.
>>28662836I'm one to agree that companies should face physical and corporeal repercussions for degrading the industry they work in. Aforementioned Harley Davidson example being one such case, in which no chinese CEO would dare take Government money and then immediately shut down domestic factories to move them overseas like every single western motorcycle company or just automotive company in general has done. That said, I don't want to be the one that takes a chance on a parallel twin CFMoto, a concept they copied from Honda engines in the 80s, and be the one getting screwed because their manufacturing is still in its infancy compared to Japan. Why buy Honda-clones when I can buy Honder?
>>28662528Sup /dbt/iggers.Remember to wear pants.
>>28662843Storytime, anon.How did this happen? Were you wearing shorts?
>>28662840>Why buy Honda-clones when I can buy Honder?Because its cheaper, comes with stuff like ABS for free, and probably has the same quality. Nips started out by just copying everything European/American, China is the same. We are right about at the point where China is about to swallow every single industry there is because the nips are dying and western society has failed after being picked apart by certain vultures.
>>28662848>Because its cheaper, comes with stuff like ABS for free, and probably has the same quality.-But if you're wrong it'll explode from under you like a hand grenade and finding parts for Chinese bikes is like finding gold at the end of a rainbow.
>>28662849>it'll explode from under you like a hand grenadeI didn't post a Nipshit bike though.
>>28662851for every MT-09 there are a billion Hawk 250 horror stories, and the MT-09 has a real factory that makes parts for the thing that you can write to.
>>28662856The difference is that Yamaha is a supposed "respectable" brand while Hawk is some literally-who shitpost brand no one has ever heard of. CFmoto and nipshit is the same non-quality.
>>28662861Basedeveryone should buy real brands like KTM-AAAAACK
I'm trading my Suzuki tu250x for a Yamaha sr400
>>28662861>CFmoto and nipshit is the same non-quality.Honder is literally the most dependable Motorcycle brand on Earth.
>>28662865>I'm trading my Suzuki... for a Yamaha
>>28662861>shit at wheelies>slam the from down like the tire owes you money>How could this happen to MEEEEEE!
>>28662865Impressive those can even be found.
>>28662868Honda is only dependable because everything they sell is underpowered compared to others for the same price. Like yeah sure, if you make the slowest 600, the slowest 1k, the slowest 300, then yeah I sure hope its at least more reliable. >>28662873>Ehrm actually, your entire front end should just explode from doing a wheelieLol, Yamaha simps really are on another level of brand worship.
>>28662875You could find similar rare issues with literally every bike. This is a reddit meme.
>>28662875>Honda is only dependable because everything they sell is underpowered compared to others for the same price.Anon, those chinese bikes you praise? They all copy Honda engines from Honda expired patents because even they realize that they prioritize reliability over power. So if something is slightly out of spec by even a fraction of a mm, it doesn't instantly destroy the engine like a Rotax clone or a BMW would and has done in the past.They also own the market on larger motors that make more power with higher service intervals. The Africa Twin has been unmatched for 40 years for this reason.I think you just hate Japanese Bikes irrationally.
>>28662844I was wearing plain dress pants, jacket, gloves, ankle high shoes and helmet.Got sideswiped by a truck on my way in to work about two months ago.Thought I had avoided it by swerving into the shoulder, forgot I had panniers which caught on the truck's bumper and sent me flying separate from the bike.Did a 50/50 grind with my left thigh on the jersey barrier, hit a mile marker with my foot, and touched down beyblading on my ass on the other side of the freeway. Broken tib-fib + degloving on left leg, broken right ankle, broken (nearly torn) pinky finger right. And road rash that was perhaps the most debilitating thing after the bones were put back together. They had to graft from my right buttcheek onto my left cheek and now my ass has an identity crisis. It delayed PT.All of my notable injuries save for the ankle where above the boot and below the waist.
>>28662888Shit anonDid you get a good lawyer for that truck or did he drive off?Also, do you think having more gear would have helped? It sounds like sliding pants wouldn't have done shit about the barrier.
>>28662884>They all copy Honda enginesSo you get Honda for cheaper? Whats the issue here?>Africa twinMogged by GS for a long time. Nips just rely on brand name at this point. Not to mention, you need all the extra power for carrying around all the fat fuck larpers on these shitbikes. >I think you just hate Japanese Bikes irrationally.I think you just love Japanese Bikes irrationally.
>>28662895>So you get Honda for cheaper? Whats the issue here?Anon, it's nice that there are companies making 80s Honda engines still, but why wouldn't I just buy an 80's era Honda for even less?
>>28662893>do you think having more gear would have helped?Yes. They'd still be burns, but they wouldn't have abraded the skin and cut down to muscle fibers.By truck I mean a personal truck, think it was a chevy 1500. Everything's covered by insurance and I'm hesitant to lawyer up as I could also be found partially liable should I push it.
>>28662901Hmmm, maybe because 45 year old vehicles are not new and will have broken parts you probably can't even find anymore, and have untold amounts of issues just stemming from being on the planet for that long. Thisis all falling under the 4cuck.org tier argument that modern CFmoto is just an 80's Honda, which is delusional, 450ss would obliterate any similar sized parallel twin honda from the 80's. Its time to stop the cope.
>>28662769I understand.
>>28662912You're literally just a hipster cafe racer, except thing japan edition.
>>28662865Very based. These bikes are very popular in Japan and Japs know their stuff
>>286627865'8 is average height. A low cut seat and dropping preload down to nothing will get you on the Tenere. The VTwin vstroms were really not built for anything more than gravel roads, they're pot bellied and only got 21" front wheels this past generation. >>28662895The GS is a better pavement bike, the AT is a better off-road bike. Choose your specialization.
>>28662875Guess why you always see stunt ZX6Rs with steel aftermarket frames, and guess why an R7 is better for stunt than the ZX6R.

>>28662888Get well soon senpai, I'll think twice before buying panniers.
>>28662865100% blasphemy
What is it about bikes that make so many people so irrationally angry? I get that there are guys being extra retarded on sports bikes setting a bad example, but it clearly goes beyond just that. The only comparable thing I can think of is Trump derangement syndrome.
>>28662865This Yamaha might be in a very bad condition since someone decided to trade for a (250cc) Suzuki
>>28662901You should
>>28662658True, this nigger is unreal. But give Kawi the W anon, they deserve it. I wish Suzuki at least tried. K5 GSXR is the last one I think.
>>28662964If it is in america the sr400 was sold for only 4 years technically and in reality only 3 for the most recent attempt.
>>28662926Kawasucki's are also known for having shit frames just like Yamahaha (although even Kawi is better than nu-Yamaha). Only old Honda and Suzuki have decent frames, old F4i is basically a bulletproof tank. >>28662924>the AT is a better off-road bike.If you cared one bit about off road you would just buy an Enduro, ADV bikes are only for larping, and the GS is the obese fatty larp supreme of all adv bikes.
Nice morning to go to lowes
>>28662924>5'8 is average height
>>28662971>F4ino one's using honda as a stunt bike especially this one
Speaking of Hondas, the new 600 actually look rather nice for nipshit, color wise anyways. I like the sudued winglet too. Surprised that only Honda has managed to create an aesthetic bike from the moonrune lands, did a European do the design?
>>28662973It is, and so is 4"I won't fall for your lies
>>28662979>>F4I>no one's using honda as a stunt bike especially this oneHOLY FUCKING NOBIKE ALERT.
>>28662980As Yamaha shill I have to say a 2013+ RR is the best looking supersport.
>>28662983Yamaha lost their aesthetics after they changed the R6 to look like every other nipshit bike there is. R6 was the best looking fairing bike there ever was, and now Yamaha is just a brand of cracked frames and rip off models.
>>28662601subjective but I think the front end is hideous and would never own the bike
>>28662979Lmfao
>>28662991idk I like the new R6 better than this one 2025>2003>2009
>>28662528team green!
>>28662997I miss when nakeds had a cowl. Why do they hate cowls, they are actually useful.
Grillin seasonDon’t let them tell you “motorcycles are impractical”
>>28662872>>28662874>>28662916>>28662960>>28662964Never mind I read some comparisons and I'm not sure if I'm gonna do this. I want basically a tu350x (the exact same bike but bored out) but it seems like the sr400 is barely any faster despite being heavier and less comfortable.
>>28662991>oversprayed wrecked bodywork so it can be squidded for another daythe eventual fate of all supersports
>>28662997>>28663010Literally just nicked it from KTM. Only Europeans can into aesthetics.
>>28663017You want a GB350 or pergaps Royal Bullet 350
>>28663018>>oversprayed wrecked bodyworkYou reply to the wrong post, Iass?
>>28662999Nu-R6 has fairings only a Yamaha simp could love. Crazy how nu-Yamaha is so fucking lazy they couldn't even be fucked to create a track fairing without slots for headlights, despite not even selling a version with headlights anymore.
>>28663017Yeah the sr400 is just a simple thumper. If you wanted an upgrade that is allt least mostly similar you should be looking for features or something rather than power because the most you are getting is 35hp stock out of thumper commuters anywhere and that isn't really worth changing bikes for rather than upgrading the engine. Assuming you want to stick with single cylinder that of course.>>28663019This is hideous too. Why do designers hate cowls with windscreens, we used to have usable off the lot half faired bikes now its this bullshit.
>>28663020The tu250x weighs 325lbs, the gb350 is 399 and the bullet 350 is 430. They are too heavy and not much faster.On paper the perfect bike is the CB300R, since it weighs only 315 pounds and yet has double more horsepower than all of them. But it just doesn't have that classic style. Maybe I'll put a CB300R engine swap into my tu250x
>>28663028You stupid this is aftermarket GYTR plastic.stock factory R6 looks like this
>>28663040>>28663028https://www.yamaha-motor.eu/cy/en/motorcycles/supersport/pdp/r6-race-2024/
>>28663037The tu250x only makes 16 horsepower and it can't really be upgraded much. The bottleneck is the fact that it has only two valves and a very narrow throttle body so even with an open intake and exhaust you don't get much more power. There was a guy on the forums who did basically everything you could possibly do to get more power out including swapping a throttle body and carb from a bigger bike and barely got any improvement. And at the end it just cut his fuel mileage in half.
>>28663040>>28663045Looks literally almost the exact same, actually its even worse since now the headlight spots aren't even half-filled in like they were on the other one, meaning they put even less effort in than the aftermarket brand lol. Everything about nu-Yamaha is a joke.
>>28663021Yeah show me the stock all rattlecan white R6 with shitty IG account logos slapped on it. Like 99% of 00's supersports, it's done 50,000 miles and spent 10% of that sliding on a fairing.
>>28663048>incoherent angry babble about his imaginary boogiemenThank you 4cucker.

>>28663065I've never seen anyone make a Virago250 look like a normal sized motorcycle. is she like 3ft tall?
Alright im thinking of buying a naked, im kinda tired of the sporty seating.Give to me straight, between the mt09, z900, sreippe triple R or hornet 1k whata the best choice?My first inclination is the mt09. Problem with it is that the exhaust looks absolutely abysmal, so I'd have to change it but they cost a fucking ton of money (2k€) so that immediately makes it the most expensive.The hornet is not too expensive but its a heavy motherfucker. The exhausts for it are cheap tho, 500€. And its the cheapest overall. Another negative is it has the list tech, no corner abs and no cruise control.The z900 is great on spec but its sorta fugly imo. Its also the second cheapest and it comes with excellent equipment as standard.The triumph is the oldest bike of the bunch and I dont really trust the brand since I never had one. It does look good though, and its also the lightest.What do you think?
>>28663072None of these vehicles have touched the dirt before.
>>28663085>mt09Lol.lmao.

>yamaha frame cracking controversy>kawasaki zx6r controversyWhat's the equivalent controversy with Honda or Suzuki, if any?
>>28663172Is that the current excuse? For cracks that happen without a crash? Lame.
>>28663174Suzuki won’t update their engines because they’re too perfect
>>28663171>>28663163I mostly mean just minor things like lights and some better vibration dampening.
>>28663175can prove there was no crash or do we have to take your word for it
>>28663175Hilarious part is that everyone other manufacturer has tards installing frame sliders on them without a cr-ACK, but only Yamaha simps think your frame should crack from installing them.
>>28663172There's an incorrect way?
>>28663180Yeah, the incorrect way is owning a Yamahaha and expecting a frame without cracks.
>>28663169It isn't bad though. It is however a lot like buying a shadow these days. The benefits are in aftermarket and community.
>>28663182Maybe if it was 2k I could understand, but 5k for that old bag of bones? No way.
>>28663181Why do you have such a hate boner for Yamaha? Or all jap bikes in general for that matter.
>>28662753Not really, no. I have a whole second argument to fall back on.
>>28663158I read that they have a light clutch though
>>28662817>omg china is hecking advanced they build bridges and put RGB on their buildings!!!
>>28663130>Not an ADV dad, why not a T7?I'm tiny and t7s are big and manly
>250 miles down>150 to go>40 degrees BRRRRRRRRRRRRR my legs are COLD i will be joining CHAP GANG asap
>GSXR-750 vs GSXR-600>2% increase in weight>9% increase in MSRP>22% increase in torque-to-weight and power-to-weightThe GSXR-750 seems like a no brainer over the GSXR-600. Is there anything I'm missing here?
>>28663092>>28663095>>28663085the leaffaggot is seething and has for some reason decided the mt09 to be his new target just ignore 90% of mt09 slander, because its coming from a brown guy that rides a 390 "adventure" bike that cant even wheelie
>>28663169A fucking Honda GB350 costs 5,314 USD in UK, which is 3999 in bong money.It's heavier, uglier, less powerful, and it's a single. C'mon.
>>28663199euros can ride the 600 their lower license insurance will be higher on a 750750 is very outdated
>>28663185R6 and R1 are among the peak of bikes I wish to own thoughever? I only hate nu-Yamaha for their ultra money grubbing behaviors like selling shitframes and the entire LAR7P/LAR9P scheme. Nor do I dislike Nip bikes, they are just ugly and their favoritism in the general is unbearable - European bikes are just as good, and in some cases like the RS660, RSV4, 690, etc they are much better than Nips.
>>28663193I'm not a china lover but i really think you guys have no fucking idea how much china has advanced in the past 20 years. At the end of 2024, there were about 48,000 kilometers (29,826 miles) of high-speed rail lines in service. In the US doesn't even exist. arterial highways, expressways, and local roads. By 2024, the network encompasses over 1.9 million kilometers of highways. Reminder that 20 years ago they had almost nothing.They have more bridges than anyone else, including the tallest bridge in the world, the longest bridge in the world, and bridges that go over entire mountain ranges.Where you like it or not china will overtake the US in every single metric extremely soon if not already in many things and there is nothing you can do to stop it
>>28663202>heres another undefendable shitbikeOk, but are we just counting moto L's here or what?
>>28663148Try it out, it's a light smol bike.
>>28663194390 ADV is fine the new gen, Checkout Himmy 450 or 411, they make it for vertically challenged people.
>>28663207the prices are crazy brother, I'm just saying that 4600 bucks for a brand new 146kg v-twin is a great deal in this market
>>28663204>LAR7P/LAR9P schemeNow I know you're either baiting or retarded. This shit is the result of faggoty environmental policies like EURO5 and these euroniggers are coming for everything you love.
>>28663206>At the end of 2024, there were about 48,000 kilometers (29,826 miles) of high-speed rail lines in service. In the US doesn't even exist.It's funny because we've spent the same exact money for high-speed rail in several US states alone, and each and every time Politicians and Contractors steal it. Every time. Recently, within the last 5 years, Florida spent somewhere in the range of $2Billion + $550 million for a high speed train project between Tampa and Miami and discontinued it, dismantling it completely, because contractors and politicians kept stealing from it and cutting back on safety features until it became the most deadly railway system in America (purely for pedestrians, things like fences, walls, roads, signals were all cut). All the more reason there need to be real punishments for corruption.
>>28663206>high-speed rail linesUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRFFF DUUUUUURF IM A FUCKING RETARDyour entire argument falls apart here, because human are not cargoeconomies of scale does not work on humans as cargo i can fly from london to new york in the same time it takes a train to go 2 cities over this is great if youre a shipping container, being moved 1000s at a timethis is terrible if you are a human being moved 100 at a time and all have different destinations not to mention, america actually has by far more miles of rail than any other country in the world, its just used for cargo, not humansbut americans arent FUCKING POOR so flying is quicker, cheaper and easier imagine willingly sitting in a tube with a chink for 6 hours instead of 2 and lets not even get into the absolute state of chinese construction projects bamboo scaffolding in 2025, literal Paper-mâché walls, entire cities built as shells, just to be left empty because uuuuh yeah take your keynsian ass chinkcommie shit some place elseUSA #1
>>286631845k isn't that much money. That is actually cheap for a new 250. 125s are over 4k now.
>>28663206>>28663214>muh high speed railpassenger rail in America is just a govt spending scheme to inflate budgets and ensure lockheed martin and keeps getting their enormous black budget approved
>>28663219This.My XT250 was 5K OTD and I got it on a steal. Couldn't be happier with it. Now, could I have downsized to a 150L and got 4K OTD? Sure. Could I have got a Lifan 250 for 3K and assembled it in my garage from a shady box of parts? Yeah. Are either of those as good as a genuine Yamaha? Absolutely not.
>>28663202Nothing wrong with singles.>>28663196I bought thermal overpants, haven't had a chance to try them. Still sore and still need to make aure I didn't fuck up the tire change.
>>28663217are you stupid? I'm talking high speed rail.do you realize how good for a country it is to have HIGH SPEED rail?China now has over 3,600 bullet trains that run daily connecting over 550 cities in China. The travel speed is close to 220 miles per hour.
>>28663227>Nothing wrong with singles.yes but not when we compare 'em to V-twins
>>28663230USA #1 you sit on your 8 hour train to visit PangPangXiaoBingFao (200x10,000 person skyscrapers, Population: 17)meanwhile I'll be daytripping Austin-NY
>>28663225Yeah that's my point, China gets a cheat code for corruption because if they catch a Lockheed or a Rockefeller outright stealing from one of these public projects they have carte-blanche to just take them out back and shoot them. No trials, no hearings, no 300+ congressmen, board members, and congressional committees asking themselves if it's really "Okay" to send someone to jail for less time than it took for them to get together and talk about it for stealing hundreds of millions from infrastructure projects that would help hundreds of thousands of people.Nope, in China if they're caught doing that, Pooh bear gives the word, and they're shot the same day. While it's great having freedom and all, criminals get the most freedom of them all in a systems like ours, and is there really any freedom at being in the mercy of white-collar criminals protected by red tape?
>>28663230>HIGH SPEED rail>work from home economyheh, nothing preasonal kid
>>28663213Yet the ZX6R, CBR600RR, and GSXR600 all made it through. In fact Kawasaki gave so little fucks about Euro5 that they released a screaming I4 400cc supersport.Yamaha are money grubbing scum, and their fanbase like yourself are retarded simps licking up their left over cum dribbles on the floor from their fiat ecstasy stemming via the fact another dumb schmuck bought into their brand.
>>28663233>you sit on your 8 hour train to visit PangPangXiaoBingFao (200x10,000 person skyscrapers, Population: 17)NTA that's a good thing.Most people on our public roads shouldn't be driving. They should be taking some form of public transportation because the vast, vast, vast majority of drivers are only doing it because they have no other choice to get around. In a functional system, anybody should be able to take any train, bus, or public tram line to any place they need to be if needed. Because less cagies on the road = more funtime for us bikers and less urban tanks driving around making Gixxerbrahs out of us all. I genuinely want to road trip in Japan for this reason alone
>>28663233are you implying that planes are airports are exclusive to the US? I don't even get your argument
>>28663232I mean... It isn't like the smoothest thing or great sounding but it is the cheapest 2 cyl bike you can get that is built decently. Gb350 has syle points but some newer singles are performing on part with the vstar250 but less comfortably.
>>28663234except that doesnt happen at all, because everyone running construction projects in china is a cardcarrying member of the party, so when they kill 50,000 people in HongBong province, Party Undersecretary for Fiscal and Agricultural Government Grants Organisation Tradespeople comes along and hands him a red envolope telling him to prostrate himself to Xi, and accept his mandatory-voluntary relocation to BuaXiaoXin province to oversee the building of a new bridge to kill 50,000 people
>>28663244Also if we had the excuse that anyone who needs to drive could take a railway or a bus line, then we could also have way stricter rules among drivers licensures and plating so Paco, Pajesh, and Mohammad don't instantly get a free drivers license the second the big toe in their flip-flops touch the tarmac at the airport on the basis that everybody needs a car to get around.
why are two /n/iggers arguing on /dbt/ about inconsequential shit?
>>28663249public transport is consequential shit to us, though. If more people were on the train less cagies would be giving us pain.
>>28663244>>28663230>>28663234>>28663214Don't bother with retarded /pol/niggers, they promote empires and infrastructure as good things, but when confronted with their own nation's inability to have such things they fall into complete hysteria.
>>28663245notice how you can still tell that is china underneath, on account of the flights being so sparse you probably didnt even notice that I posted a map of just east-texas
>>28663242Anon, I'm really sorry but you're just stupid. I'll try to explain why.You can still buy an R6 unmolested, unrestricted, and enjoy its full potential, you can make it street legal if you really want to.The other brands are reducing the power of their supersport bikes to make them fit in the new norms. Yamaha actually gave you even more power with a new bike that btfoes everything on the market. Why would you not like it? You might be genuinely autistic.
>>28663252>they promote empires and infrastructure as good things>>replies to a guy sucking chinas cock
>>28663247I mean sure, it has its own form of corruption.But what you just mentioned affects 50,000 people. Even in your hypothetical. The high speed rail projects falling flat and being robbed affect literally millions of people. Those are millions of people who can't just hop on a train and be at work in ten minutes, but instead have to fight with you for road space for three hours on the freeway. Neither is good but it would be nice to have someone with a button who can just murder a CEO at will when it becomes clear they're just there to steal from everyone.
>>28663255>Erhm actually not allowing you to buy a street legal R6 and then replacing it with a bunch of CP2 commuting larper bikes to trick consumers by pretending they are R series supersports is a GOOD thingGenuinely the Yamaha-simps become more and more deranged by the day.
>>28663263answer me honestly and truthfully, pleasedo you genuinely believe high speed rail in america is a good thing, when it gives negroids wide access to greater society?do you honestly believe, being able to ship 1000 DaQuans and Shaniquas from DFW to ABQ is a good thing?
I don't get why people are hating on R6s now.
>>28663263>Still trying to convince a /pol/niggerWaiting your life away, Iass.
>>28663270Used market ask8ng too much now that squids way over hyped them.

>>28663124
>>28663271actually you know what? you're right.
>>28663270No one is doing that, who are these imaginary people?
>>28663273>Ehrm if you modify and replace everything in this regulated league that allows some bikes more modifications than others to be """fair""""... this means the consumer model is good...Low intelligence, makes sense.
>>28662528I love this lil nigga like you wouldn't believe. It's actually insane how much better the E2 ZX9R is VS the E1. New frame, New engine, better transmission entirely, lighter, faster, nimble as fuck, simple as fuck, stupid easy to work on, dirtbike experience fueling, it's just a sovlful lil reptilian hunting down bikes long after it's heyday
>>28663279Too bad its ugly
>>28663270the leaf and the [any bike]
>>28663278>all this cope what aftermarket parts you can possibly use on a bike in its first year you dingus
>I would love if we ended the infinitely recycling welfare EBT pharma-medical goyslop economy and stopped wasting money on homeless mentally ill drug addicts and got high speed rail insteadWhat about this is controversial or implies one is a leftist who wants to ban cars and have walkable cities and for people to eat bugs?
>>28663279its heavy AF though
>>28663278The R6 could no longer win after Ducati introduced the Panigale V2, meanwhile the R9 started winning the first year it was introduced. Keep coping though. (the V2 and R9 are same displacement btw)
white or red my dudes?
>>28663283>aftermarketYou do know YAMAHA, as in the actual manufacturer are the people supplying and modifying these bikes right? No bike in WSBK is stock, they have almost no relation to stock bikes besides some models that are regulated to be """fair""". Basically depending on how much manufactures pay off the organizers. >>28663294>Ehrm if you buy the better riders for your custom modified bikes, this means your stock consumer bike is better.How much delusion can one brand have?I guess Ducati suddenly have the best bikes now over Honda that they have Marq, top kek.
>>28663295whatever's cheaper, so you can aftermarket replacement that hideous headlight assembly with the money saved
>>28663294christ, those are some moronic comparisons.
>>28663203Nope, a2 limit is 48hp and at max you‘re allowed to reduce power by 50% to meet that. So the unrestricted maximum a bike can be to qualify for a2 restriction would be 96hp. Thats why you can find (in the eu) the Aprilia rs660 being offered with 96/48hp or 100hp separately. Even though they‘re the exact same bike, a 660 sold with 100hp can never be restricted to a2, while a bike sold with 96hp can. Based on the pink slip saying 100hp or 96hp and nothing else.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WYMyImKdi84&pp=ygUeY2hpbmVzZSBtb3RvcmN5Y2xlIHJlYXZsb3V0aW9uThere is no excuses for manufacturers not to go crazy once in a while.
>>28663294>the V2 and R9 are same displacement btwLooks like it only took 20 years, 300cc and throttle restrictions for these nu-liters to win.
>>28663199the 750 is generally the best choice for street riding.
>>28663303I like it, very streetfighter
>>28663281Subjective. I think it looks dope. Foxy eyes and a grin of a gecko.>>28663290450 wet for a 900cc is not heavy anon by any stretch of the imagination. Unless you're one of those retards who compares 20+ year old bikes to nu-slop
>>28663287no, it means you're a chink and a communist
>>28663203Well I can ride your nan and she is outdated so fuck off
>>28663298>No bike in WSBK is stock, they have almost no relation to stock bikes besides some models that are regulated to be """fair""". Basically depending on how much manufactures pay off the organizers.you're fucking stupid it's not moto gp
>>28663308my buddy literally rides a restricted r6any time he we stop, he has to put the screw/bolt back in
>>28663326Neither is it BSB (which is also slightly modified, far less aggressively than WSBK though), anyone thinking WSBK has any relation to stock bikes is a fucking idiot. Even stuff like WSSP has a whole laundry list of what you can or can't do for each bike so some don't get raped by others, including outright limiting how much you can twist a throttle, LMAO.

>>28663333Chang ain't got shit on the nipps. Never will. Pol be damned. It's just objective fact.
>>28663315The K1 Gixxer 750 was about the same era and a lot lighter.The weight was always the main problem of the 9R and why people considered it more of a Sports-tourer than a real Supersport.
>>28663333father ted is pol now?
>>28663338No shit a 750 is lighter it's a smaller fucking engine you Muppet. You are also wrong on its classification, the zx9r, the gsxr, and the fireblade of the era were all open class sport bikes. Some claimed the zx9r could be used for touring solely because it had the most comfortable riding position triangle of the batch and a bigger fuel tank. That's literally it. It's by no stretch of the imagination a sport tourer. It's not a heavy bike AT ALL.>BRO DID YOU KNOW A 600 IS EVEN LIGHTER? MUST BE BETTER!
>>28663339>now.Always has been.
>>28663353>father ted is pol
>>28662888Holy shit, that looks like a shark bit you. get well soon, bro.

>>28663363Linehan was a purity-spiral shitlib until they came for him for not being woke enough a couple years backhe's hardly a poltier chuddite, and he lives in America, not Ireland or England he got arrested because a known pedo has dirt on some manchester coppers, so he used that to leverage his arrest when he came back to england
>>28663361good thing too, i wouldn't want him to see the absolute state of modern Britain.
>>28663374>Linehan was a purity-spiral shitlib until they came for him for not being woke enough a couple years backAs they always do because you're never woke enough. >he's hardly a poltier chuddite,Doesn't matter. He wears the scarlet letter now. Him and poltier chuddies are one in the same in the eyes of his peers.
>>28663371for the price of that dainese, you could fly to pakistan and have 3 entire suits or sets tailor made for youthey can even source shit like kangaroo leather
>>28663371i will ride my motorcycle with XOF larper gear on
>>28662601It's the same old bike with the same old K5 engine. Why would it get attention.
>>28663381that's based walking around with "PenisSuckeRs™" emblazoned on your back is one of the gayest motorcycling trends imaginable and it makes literally no one look good. Sleek bike jackets are superior but no one makes those that also fit any safety standards at all.
>>28663371Yeah I agree, I don't even want the motorcycle brand to be on my bike. Also for Astar/Dainese prices you should just go custom, pay the same for a custom fit.
>>28663383I literally just bought an armored hoodie that has like no logos on it, maybe you aren't looking hard enough?
>>28663371just wear an armoured base layer under a regular leather jacket. the padding doesn't seem so obvious so you'll looked buffed.
>>28662792You mean it was good two years ago, when tzr twink was aroundNow we got this canadian fagget
>>28663382Is it actually the K5 engine? Because its like less than half the price of a GSXR1000, getting the same engine for that price is unreal.
>>28663374>he's hardly a poltier chuddite, and he lives in America, not Ireland or EnglandThat doesn't matter in the eyes of the law, his country, or the media. He was still treated the same as a goose-stepping neo-nazi the moment he got home, and no amount of personal beliefs could have changed that.That's why I just ride bikes instead of posting every stupid fucking thought I have anywhere that has my name attached. For that, I have you guys.
>>28663393>he got arrested because a known pedo has dirt on some manchester coppers, so he used that to leverage his arrest when he came back to england
>>28663388>>28663387could an illiterate nigga get a link? do they make base layers for pants too so I don't have to get specifically motorcycling jeans?
>>28663394>That doesn't matter in the eyes of the law, his country, or the media. He was still treated the same as a goose-stepping neo-nazi the moment he got home, and no amount of personal beliefs could have changed that.I mean yeah. How, why, and what doesn't matter. His countrymen still see him as a poltard and a nazi and always will because all that people will think about is how he got arrested.
>>28663395It was at cyclegear, sorry.
>>28663396leafretard reading comprehension
>>28663397its ok, I can probably find it online myself, thanks fren
>>28663371try to find some Japanese brands
>>28663201this. all the cracked frames are literally from crashed bikes. who woulda thunk that crashing a motorcycle breaks the motorcycle.it's just one autist who's decided that the most popular bike is bad, because in his childlike mind, he thinks that being contrarian makes him cool.
>>28663398Not even a leaf. It just seems obvious when you read the reports about his arrest that they think the accusations are valid. The actual details literally don't matter. He'll be known for this arrest forever.
>>28663103>says he's 5'5>makes the r6 look small

>>28663395i'm in australia so your market might be different but if you google "armoured motorcycle base layer" then you'll find something in your local market.just remember to size up with your casual leather jacket or it'll be too tight.Mine is a BOHN.
>>28663391Yep. It's just tuned for mid range torque rather than peak power, like all the other street bikes of course. It's not GSXR1000 with a handlebar though. There's more to a motorcycle than just the engine.
>>28663103holy frankenstein bike
>>28663409looks like a breathable fabric, better than the goretex meme
>>28663405
>>28663418i've never understood the concept of waterproof base layers because your clothes will still get wet. it's the outer layer that needs to be waterproof.and yes, it gets hot in australia so i opted for the breathable shirt but bohn have insulated winter base layers as well.
>>28663371Knox makes stuff that has relatively small branding and is designed to be worn with stuff over it iirc
>>28663409I have a bohn spine protector. I like it for my summer gear. Because cortech is shit but there were the only simmer jacket i could find in budget. The back armour on that cortech is pathetic.
>>28663369People like faces. 999 is the ugly duckling of the Ducati family for a reason.
>>28663371if you don't crash you don't need protection
>>28662528threado>>28663430>>28663430
>>28663428i don't use back armour at all because i usually have a huge backpack on my back so if i go down i'll be sliding on my side or hands and knees.i just have knee/chin and elbow guards. plus gloves and helmet ofc.
>>28663423Based, I live in Florida and that's the route I'm probably going to have to go.
>>28663090The drug use got worse in my 30’s, and I accepted that I’m not human anymore. I never touched vehicles until just last year.Fuck being human. Do you think people who experienced WWI or WWII were healthy mentally people? Motorcycling got big because a bunch of mentally ruined war veterans who destroyed their dopamine receptors with meth came home and we’re looking for a rush. A car or motorcycle feels like a robot. You put it in gear, let off the brake or clutch, and it goes all on its own.I don’t understand how to be a human. The way your reality and your fantasy mingles, and the way you ground your fantasy in social limitations. Your reality becomes muddied in delusions that start as jokes to brake the ice, and your fantasies never become the kind of raging fire that outshines reality. Without the ability to outshine reality with your fantasy, you’re limited by your current reality.What is the next stage of evolution? It is the merging of drug using NEET Nazis and their machines. This echoes futurism, where the defacement and devaluation of human emotions is considered a virtue.The vehicle becomes a way for the dehumanized to externalize themselves. An outlet for behaviors and emotions that nature designed to be expressed towards other humans. But, the dehumanized 30 year olds of today have lost the ability to bridge the gap between minds. They are alone, yet still part of a natural process which is connected and communicative. The ultimate cuck, because he will toil his whole life to maintain a community he is subject to but can never be a part of.This was not a mistake of our own, but the design of Gaia.
