>>28688269Where do you live?Which strom you got?How much is it at right now?>>28688341the vstrom has a reputation for being a road queen and not a real utilitarian bike like the tenny is, which is ironic because it's a way, way better dirt and off-roader than the tenny. Especially the 650.Doesn't matter, first impressions are everything and it got the reputation of an unfun dad bike. It probably doesn't help that 800s got a huge recall last year beacuse their tires were falling apart.
When the fuck did helmets get so expensive, holy shit.I feel like 10 years ago a $800 helmet was like moonbeam money.
>>28688516everything is stupidly expensive
>>28688518Jesus, I guess.Fork seals are $30 a pair but you better change your helmet every 5 years MINIMUM or your head will spontaneously explode.I'm glad non-bike people think my 25 year old bike looks brand new but don't mention my ghetto AF helmet.

What do you like more: Yamaholes or Yamagaps?
So can I get a British bike that isn't manufactured by shitskins in India, or what?
>2025>no v-twin sportbikes on the market
>>28688546>>28688547ehhhh
>want 1390 SDR>dont want modern india owned KTMthe future sucks
>>28688547Yeah mate they're gone.
>>28688547I'm guessing you mean Jap V twin sport bikes.Euros got a couple and china has a few.
I hate Indians
>>28688561c'mon man can you be more specific with your racism?
>>28688562Sure, I hate every shitskin in Canada taking away gas station jobs.I hate the literal millions of monkeys that our corrupt government chose to import. I hate their country, culture, aesthetic, shape, color, and personality.The best part is, because it's the least redeemable race of all time, everyone else hates them too.
>>28688561That's not very nice, anon.
>>28688567Other Indians

>>28687563The powder stuff from the powder-coating gets INSIDE so when it gets into the oil the engine is kill, no way to ever get it all clean again either so i have to build a proper new lubrication circuit without it if i dont wanna replace the oil every 1000Km and risk overheating.
>>28688569its surprising and disturbing how many people are completely fucked without ABS.

>>28688574THEM GIZMO NANNIES ARE CRUTCHES NOT TOOLS
what is our opinion on KTM?
>>28688567are the gigantic radiators on these really needed? Seems pretty comical given how Harley and Triumph always try to hide them inside the frame to not "ruin" the classical side-profile look and here is Indian just slapping these things fit for a GP-bike on the front.
>>28688577KTM stands for:KekThat's Malfunctioning
>>28688577>tfw your engines are so shit no one's talking about your shit frames
>>2868857710 years with my 1290 and very little issues

>>28688568You shoulda bloody specified, and you're still a twat
>>28688581>>28688579>>28688577Im sure no other manufacturer had ever a frame breaking in a crash.
>>28688582Let me see it
>>28688584Kill all east indians
>>28688582Check its frame my brother. You might be in danger. Orange Dagner.
still better than indian built bikes
I like the look of an RC990R desu, and I like how it's a P-twin so maybe normiels will finally get it
>>28688594get what? That it will sadly always play second fiddle to this beast because we cant have nice things anymore due to politicians hating us?
>>28688586>>28688588the MCU fried the 2nd year i owned the bike, KTM replaced it for free. and a couple years ago i had t i had to replace the radiator being pulled apart from a design flaw with the 1st gen models. other than that its been pretty flawless these last 10 years.
reposting this from last thread (not my clip), since I have a question: is this not merely cornering ABS kicking in because he slipped mid curve?looks like he opened the throttle a bit, maybe the road was wet and thats what caused his rear to slip?
>>28688612off-road tires + cold + wetthats all it was man.
>>28688612it's a fucking tourer and he tried to increase the angle too fast
>>28688617how did he recover then, rear brake or front brake?i'm a beginner and I honestly don't know.
>>28688621counter-steered to regain traction.nothing to do with brakes.
>>28688622thanks
Is there any reason not to buy this helmet besides "but it does not have nice SHOEI sticker on it"? The safety rating is the same in the EU for every allowed helmet.
Some fucking young thug urban youth piece of shit nigger (I'm not racist and normally wouldn't use this term but God damn, this person deserves that title) tried starting shit with me because I cut them off by surprise during gridlock, they escalated by rolling their window and taking shit so I called them a blind shitfuck and they got so mad they dangerously cut across 3 lanes of traffic to get on my side only for me to horsepower my way out of the situation across the same 3 lanes between cars and onto a one way they couldn't get to, then disappeared cutting into lanes splitting cars. Now, I felt like a pussy running away from a flight when I could blast their ass into glass with bullets but they're not worth it
>>28688626congratulations, you handled the situation like an adult.your reward: you get to be on your computer at home where you're able to tell the tale and drink a comfy cup of saturday morning coffee on a weekend instead of sitting in a jail cell and awaiting trialt for 4 years.people who act like that are so far beneath you, they might as well be invisible. they're infrared to you, they don't blip on your radar. ignore them because they're not even there in the first place. you've been talking to an empty car driven by a ghost, move on.
>>28688632Thanks, Fox, I hate feeling like a pussy but I need to hear what you just said
>>28688636You were a pussy. You could have smashed their mirror first and then proceed doing what you did, leaving them fast. That way you would not be pussy.
>>28688639I did that when I was a kid riding a bicycle and almost got my ass ran over. I oddly escaped the same way, using a one way
>>28688625When it comes to chinkshit off Amazon I wouldn't trust that it meets any sort of standard just because it says it in the description. It's even more concerning with a modular helmet because of the risk of it opening during an accident, and also the mechanism could just break during regular use because it's low quality.
>>28688650>because of the risk of it opening during an accident, and also the mechanism could just break during regular use because it's low qualityHow do you know your expensive helmet won't do the same?
>>28688656I blindly trust the logo on the forehead duh
>>28688625Helmets are literally the ONE piece of gear you should not buy used because you can't see the critical degrees of wear they might or might not have (i.e. microfractions on the inner and/or outer shell).Gloves, jackets, pants, even boots you can judge on how they look and feel. You can also easily inspect them for damages.And, even IF, worst comes to worst and you buy any of those WITH an imperfection and all the stars align and your gloves or pants DO have a material failure, you scrape some skin or break your knuckles.If your helmet has one such a failure in that once-every-10-years bad luck moment, you hurt your head and chances are, you're fucked forever.You can buy everything else used and not lose any sleep over it, but not the helmet.
>>28688656>How do you know your expensive helmet won't do the same?>local retard has his typical skeptical moment>QUESTION EVERYTHINGin case the tested helmets with safety certificates approved off by a dozen western nations do fail to a certifiable degree, the expensive helmets dont stay expensive for very long because the expensive helmet companies don't sell any more expensive helmets.did you ever buy medication at a pharmacy? why not go to your local shady shitskin dealer and have him mix it for 15% of the price?why not order condoms from a chinese b-ware factory?absolute retard.
>>28688659What used? It's new.
>>28688662Long cope text insteas of saying "well yes, I trust the logo on my forehead more than the eu certificate" kek
>>28688626Trust me mate, you are more adult and white then most people in society.Immediate violence doesn't really pay off, if karma is on your side you will see them on the nightly news with their car wrap around a tree.I had someone piss bolt and run after bumping my car, about 3 months later I see the same car and person on the side of highway with their car total and being beaten by police.
>>28688625how are they going to delivery it to a place that doesnt exist
>>28688656Because it's actually passed the tests and received certification. There is still a possibility, it's not a 100% success rate, but it's more trustworthy than some random month old company based out of Wongdong.
/adventure/
>>28688702That's a 1250GS material, not poor Tenere.
>>28688656>>28688650I like that one anon who tells us the story of falling off at 31 MPH in a cheap wal-mart dirtbike helmet and it being just fine
Anon, does this happen to you and your bike?https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Mt7TdsxK3y4IF yes then what bike do you have?
>>28688742>moto vlogging tiktok dancing cuckno
>>28688600>>28688598What makes this bike's engine fundamentally different other than the shape of the block
>>28688760the poo engineers that threw it together
>>28688505>because it's a way, way better dirt and off-roader than the tenny. Especially the 650You are the first person I've heard say that about the dl650, especially given that the dl650 outweighs the t7, has roughly the suspension travel of a cb500x, and doesn't even come with cartridge forks.
>>28688751when was the last time 4 young girls talked to you and touched youre bike?
>>28688793At a gas station and they wanted to bum money or have me buy them alcohol. Make better life decisions, anon.
I had a dream I was test riding a Panigale V2 at a demo day but I wasn’t really into it and it was too hot outside so they cancelled the second test ride. I was pissed because I wanted to try the R9 (???) but they had a lot of complimentary food so I didn’t get too upset
>>28688807Do you really live in Japan? Post more bikes from there.
>>28688809If I lived in Japan I would be posting in Japanese you tard
>>28688784It also has the oil filter as the first point of contact. And the CoG is higher due to the VTwin. I think it's just another sperg that irrationally hates the CP2.
I remember when Tenere was released everyone was spamming how cheap it is. I just checked and it costs 1k less than Africa Twin. Like what lmao???
>october 25th 2025i am forgotten
>>28688852It's been defeated by it's own success. The days of the xt660z being the rugged alternative when a Transalp wouldn't cut it are long past. T7 is the default. You buy that unless there's a specific reason you need something else.
>>28688852They jacked the price up after its release. It was the best deal anyone could ask for a few years ago
>>28688852>2025 AT: $14,999>2025 t7: $10,999>2025 xl750: $9,999>2025 kle500: $7,499I'm assuming you mean the price diff between a used AT vs t7, but look at that MSRP spread. If the KLE is the a2/beginner bike, there's not much gap left between it and the mid size bikes at this point. You're paying a $3k premium for 50% more horsepower.
>>28688838That oil filter is so fucking weird man. Even on a road bike that is pretty fucking weird if you think about the shit a motorcycle runs over on the road. They fixed it on the 800 by recessing it into the frame, but it still faces forward into the elements.
>>28689064helps with cooling the oil I guess
>>28688742>>28688793Today, anon realizes that 100% of these videos are staged and every girl in it is a paid actor.
>>28689075The age old adageIt's not prostitution if you film it.
>>28688391>>28688436It's a CBX/NX but with all the shit people have been begging Honda to do for years. Wire wheels with a 21" front instead of cast with 19", engine/exhaust protection, almost certainly better suspension just because it's Kawi vs Honda, etc. >>28689052If he's overseas he might be looking at one of the higher T7 trims we don't get, like the World Raid or Rally, which I think come pretty close to the AT.
SEXOOOOOO
>>28689052More like>2025 AT: 15,500€>2025 T7 world tour: 14,500€>2025 xl750: 11,000€>2025 kle500: 7,500€ <- lmao not gonna happen, it will be 9,900€. I hope you are taking screenshots otherwise I will in order to spam it next year.>>28689081>If he's overseas he might be looking at one of the higher T7 trims we don't get, like the World Raid or Rally, which I think come pretty close to the AT.That's correct. But only close by price.
holy shit its all aumtumny outside bros
>>28689081>It's a CBX/NX but with all the shit people have been begging Honda to do for years. Wire wheels with a 21" front instead of cast with 19", engine/exhaust protection, almost certainly better suspension just because it's Kawi vs Honda, etc.NX500 goes for 7,800€ btw and chinchong MT450 (Ibex for you) is 6,500€. We are cooked.
>>28689113>it will be 9,900€Wish they would. Stop putting budget forks, shock, skid and hand guards, make a god damn toggle for ABS, and carve out a spot as the premium lightweight adv.
>>28689120God I wish we had that here. If I see a tree it's because someone planted it.
If it's pouring outside do you make a decision like>yeah fuck it I'm not going to work with my bike and continue sleeping/go with a bus?
>>28689133>free bike wash
>>28689120It looks like TES 4 Oblivion
2007 R1, I'm suspecting a burnt up stator, as a spare rectifier didn't solve my charging issue, and I'm getting 23V AC on 3 out of 4 combos at idle, the other one is 17V, on the stator cable at idleWould it be safe to go to work and just recharge the battery there until a new stator arrives?Any thoughts?

>>28689149I wish we could have actual booth babes back again instead of fucking cartoons and pictures.
>>28688577The only good supermotos out there are from KTM and their subsidiaries.
>>28689124>make a god damn toggle for ABSI've got some good news for you. I've been arguing with people here and elsewhere about this for hours but it really seems like Kawi is taking this bike a lot more seriously than other manufacturers (Honda in particular) have. If only they'd put the weight argument to bed.
Anyone else go for a ride today?
>>28689208*Suzukisorry you seem to have made a typo
>>28689211I want to ride but I don't know where to go..
>>28689211Today is Sunday (5:30am) and it's the first day of the week that I'm NOT going to ride my bike. I realise that this is a pointless post but I saw a PCX in your pic and felt obliged to respond.
I am going to trade my KLX300 in for a KLE500.I see nothing wrong with this.
>>28689211
>>28689222I love the PCX>>28689224Duck bills are in right?
Are digital carb sync tools any good? I don't mind analog tech but it does seem convenient to have a automatic calibrated tool vs a manually calibrated one. Any one specfically you recommend? My buddy's bike should be checked
>>28688625You can certify a fucking tea kettle as a helmet in Europe.
>>28689246I recommend throttle body injection controlled by a Speeduino instead of ancient egyptian technology
>>28689273Such as?

Should I buy new tires now or wait till the season picks up again. One hand I wanna get in front of it, other hand I could put it off.
>>28689295if you need new tyres then you should get new tyreshope this helps>seasonlel casual
>Should I buy new tires now or wait
My wife's PCX wouldn't start this morning cos it was cold and the tracker kills the battery. Always carry a halo bolt in the topbox. Best accessory ever.
>>28689296I definitely need tires, I'm running on ancient S21's >le season memeIt's gonna get nasty by me soon, so I considered putting it off but I think I'll just pick up a new set of road 6s or some shit
>>28689316They're not in the worst shape, but given the age to factor in as well... yeah.. I should get fresh rubbas
What range the bike tyres can usually survive for if you don't spin them?
>>28689331depends if left in the sun or garaged. if garaged then your tyres will be fine. get them up to temp and see how they feel.if left in the sun then they will most likely need replacing.
Do yamaha and suzuki put better quality components on their bikes comparing to honda in the same price range? Like forks, frames etc.
Earlier today a jeep wrangler slowly backed into me while I was parking my bike. Luckily it happened under the best possible set of circumstances, I had just dismounted so I was able to catch the bike before it fell. The driver's eyes had that yellowy sickle cell look and he talked like his brain wasn't getting enough oxygen. You can guess what he looked like. He was pretty apologetic but holy fuck man.

>>28689223>>28689397I'm the other KLX guy in question, so I guess that makes 3 of us looking at the same trade. The 390 is cool but a twin makes way more sense for me - as I've often mentioned I really need to cruise comfortably at 80 - and I have a hell of a lot more faith that the Kawi won't leave me stranded in the middle of nowhere.
