stale as fuck tranny thread, kys
I've looked at my local tracks and none of them let scooters in :(I wish I could build my own small engine race track business. Anything from go karts to groms would be able to attend.
faggot
>>28720243Dogshit thread
With Indian dying a second (third or fourth actually?) death soon, what dead brand should be revived to take on the bar and shield again? I vote Excelsior-Henderson. Come out with a Rocket 3 style bike (but with 4 cylinders) and a smaller bike called the Super X mostly made overseas and assembled in America to make it seem like you're trying to be an American brand and call it a day.
>>28720251>karts to groms would be able to attend.You know there are tracks like that, right? I can't speak for your area, but in mine a local go-kart track has open days once or twice a month where people bring mini-motos, scoots, and Supermotos to rip around on.
>>28720288>more chinkshitNah, how about neck yourself?
>>28720292>more chinkshitDidn't specify where you could make the smaller one, but china could be an option. Just need that intro bike that all the American brands lack. You'd make the Henderson flagship model here (well, at least 50% of it) or else people wouldn't buy it. Americans aren't British, they at least want to believe some of the bike they bought was made in the land of the free.
Gixxer gang reporting in
>>28720291They are mostly indoor electric karts. There is one I can try calling but I doubt it
>>28720325>They are mostly indoor electric karts>indoorThat's why. You need to find outdoor ones, man.
Bros, Is Yamaha ok?My local dealer has $8k MT-09s and $3500 MT-03s on sale rn. Over 3 of each too. They also aren't fucking around. When I sent in an email request for shits and giggles they just sent me the OTD and asked for my number for negotiations. They aren't doing the normal dealer Tijuana Jerk sesh. Seems they actually desperately want to sell. Is team blue hurting?
>>28720337>Seems they actually desperately want to sell.It's mid-November and they're trying to clear out this years leftovers.
>>28720349Of course, but I haven't seen almost $3k off the price ever. Not when they were trying to clear out 2024 or 2023 models. It just reeks of desperation.
>>28720328That one I mentioned is outdoor. It is the only one that seems likely but probably not. Oh well. I found my own little course in my city I can run late at night. It even goes through I95 for a bit lol.
>>28720337what is they're test ride bikes?
>>28720375if
>>28720375They aren't. Odo numbers on the site are true and accurate. 2-3 miles on all of them.
>>28720378what's their website?
>>28720379Not going to tell you. I'm actually considering one of those MT-09s and I don't need you faggots spreading the word.
My local dealer gives away MT-09s for free, I've got 3 for myself and my mom.
>>28720380Too late. I hacked your IP to find your area and just bought the entire stock.
Have 3 bikes, only ride 1.Noone else I know rides dirt anymore, XR400 has had 2 rides in the last 3 years. Still starts up 2nd kick though. Looks like tidy ones are worth like 3-4k here in NZ and only going up.ZXR250A doesn't get ridden anymore, registration costs like $500/yr and it's not worth much, maybe 1k but I'd never buy another 250 screamer again because of how rare they are now.Wat do, bros.
>>28720411Sell the unused ones, buy a chink bike to beat up so you can keep your nice one longer.
DualSporbinThe choke still doesn't work for some reason.
i wanna get into enduro but the cost of owning a 2smoke seems kind of ridiculous. looking at KTM 300s, you're changing fluids and filters constantly, and rebuilding the engine after 80 hours? that shit's retarded what the fuck
>>28720462Not 2smoke's fault. It's just how race bikes work. Checkout RMZ.

I pet my Honders, what do I do to a bimmer? I was never taught what to do.
im a neet, with no bike ):
>>28720494Really bikers are NEETs
>>28720494Yeah, but you're not a retarded namefag so thats a plus
>>28720494Get a job you bum and maybe you could buy one.

>>287204622 strokes are a lifestyle and not for the faint of heart.
>>28720439BUT I LOVE THEM
What is this? Why would Yamaha need another ADV?
>>28720562Because ADV larpers love that shit and buy them upblike Stacies buying SUVs
>>28720550Hoarding is unhealthy, Anon.
>>28720568But what if the bikes hate me.

>9 months ago>no news since thenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7NuA-gVy40
>>28720562It would actually make sense if they tech maxxed like BMW or the 900cc one was actually desirable.
>>28720573Yeah nah, happens every over month here in NZ Some fuckface gangster waster dies and the local gangs have a half-country procession committing a hundred violations and they confiscate one, maybe two bikes.>Police hear of procession>Block of roads, blocking citizens for the niggercunts peddling meth up and down the countryThe comments speak for themselves.https://youtu.be/4239cA4eAio?si=VO5rnVxkWWmcJAqq
>>28720578I don't see how Tenny or Tracer are not enough to be maxxed
>>28720494Get a job faggot.
>>28720562Well both Yamaha and Kawasaki don't have a worldwide adventure bike in their lineup. An no, Tracer and Versys are not adventure bikes despite them trying to say so.
/adventure/
>>28720582Tenny is more desirable than Tracer lol. They could tech maxx by giving it IMU, nicer brakes, nicer electronic suspension, tubless rims. Android Auto and so on. Just copy what BMW is doing. Also, at the same time, try to reduce the weight of T7, I don't believe this is the best Yamaha can do with this bike.
>>28720585Wouldn't it be easier to turn the Tracer into a real adv bike, rather than just making another one from the scratch
>>28720361>>28720349>>28720337probably last years (2024) models that they want rid of before 2026 models come inwhat colour are they, because some colours just dont sell, iirc on the 09s its the light blue variant just doesnt sell, its like yellow harleys
>>28720593Obligatory|>That's a huge bitch!
>>28720494
>>28720597They're 2025s
So what are the best ADV tires that will do well enough on gravely mountain passes and dusty desert roads, but also hold up well enough and not be a pain on the highway for 1000s of miles before we get to the mountains?My cheap 80/20 Kendas won't do. Should I get 50/50, 40/60, 10/90? I've been looking at popular 40/60 tires like Shinko 804s and Continental TKC80s, but are those the best? I'm on a KLR and my friend is on a V-Strom 650, and we plan to do moderate trails. Hopefully that helps with recommendations.
>>28720609youve posted this in the last 4 threadsfuck off already you retard go and check a reddit thread or actually ride your own bike and get a feel for preferences
>>28720615so.... what are the best ADV tires?
>>28720636go and check a reddit thread or actually ride your own bike and get a feel for preferences
>>28720636>Best>Literally the most subjective word in the English language
>>28720411If your xr is road legal, ride that round for the lols. If the zxr is tidy, get a wof on it and sell it to some virgin who thinks they’re getting a superbike lol. Just don’t fag up TardMe with a chatgpt spec ad like every other cunt. Paying fuckin $542 to register my xb12 for a year hurt, but that’s just the price of admission unfortunately.

Poor suzuki fans
>>28720706To be fair Suzuki's whole shtick for years now has just been "member K5?" Creatively bankrupt brand.
>>28720571The beatings will continue until admiration improves.
Why they don't make helmets with a padding around the nose so that you don't breath up on the visor but down into the vents?
>>28720709K5 is still great tho, so as SV650. Their problem is they don't have a 400cc bike for beginners

First time riding with a pillion today any tips?
>>28720812Take it slow through corners until you get used to the extra weight. Also roll on the throttle gently, there is of course a lot more weight than you're used to sitting pretty far back
>riding little 125 shitter>give it ALL the throttle >once i reach 4th and 5th gear the bike feels like its stumbling and stuttering >Back off to 70-80% throttle>Can feel the bike pull strongly again (as strong as a tiny 125 can kek) Carb settings need adjusted? I cleaned the carb out thinking that may be the issue, some shit in the bowl but nothing too crazy, i haven't looked into the airbox yet to see if its clogged I cant notice this dip in power in the lower gears , once you get to 4th and crack the throttle open you can feel this dip in power only at WOT Running slightly rich? I havent adjusted this carb in nearly 2 years at this point and ive been commuting mostly every day
>>28720812tell them to behave like a sack of potatoes and dont do any funny leaning themselves
>>28720817Isn't it the miss adventure?
>>28720832How do I get riding buddies in Germany? No homo
>>28720838If you‘re around Hamburg we could be :*
>>28720838ride aroundtalk to peopleas long as you avoid car/bike meets and city centres, you'll also naturally filter out mehmets
>>28720826Perhaps reconsider riding an old trailie on wet UK roads this time of year. I know you haven't got many options at 17 but anything with abs will serve you better.
>>28720845>you'll also naturally filter out mehmetsWell that's a problem as a mehmet... sorta
>>28720838start going to AA lol, that's how i met most of my riding bros.
>>28720847>Perhaps reconsider riding an old trailie on wet UK roadsNoAny ideas on the lack of power at the top end anon?
>>28720842I'm taking a trip to switzerland next year. Can you reant bikes in germany/switzerland or will I get laughed at for even asking
>>28720852It's possible if you have lots of money
>>28720851Did you not consider that it's just outside the power band? Perhaps it's my smaller sample size but I've never found peak power with the throttle pinned
>>28720853I can probably budget for 5k outside of the cost of the flight. Is that realistic?
>>28720855I'd plan 1000€ per week depending on the model. But you should check yourself with "motorrad verleih *city_name*"
>>28720854Anything above 40mph and a headwind i need to feed it all the onions but the bike is hesitating and grumbling, also sounds like its sucking more air than anything when you hold it wide open (revs aren't increasing but you can hear the increased induction noise from the air box )
>>28720852Look for bike dealerships in the area where you‘re gonna be. At least some of them have rental schemes. I rented an rs660 once as an extended testride and it was ~100€ per day.
>>28720859Have you checked to make sure you don't have an air leak anywhere in your intake? Airbox->carb->cylinder should be nice and sealed up. At higher engine loads a loose seal might also allow air in when it wouldn't otherwise. I'm by no means an expert but that's what would make sense to me
>>28720866Googled some more, there seem to be quite some bike rental services, especially in south germany / Munich
>>28720866>>28720858Thanks anons I'll check it out
>>28720868Haven't checked yet but thanks for the tips, any friends ive asked just replies "I dunno anon just buy another bike" and it makes me rage >Blub brokeUgh just buy a brand new bike anon>chain needs adjustedJust buy another bike anon..Saying "i dont know" seems to be too much for some people
>>28720848then get an s1000rr under your dads name and go to car meets
>>28720859when was the last time you checked the valves?
>>28720826if your bogging at wot then you dont have enough fuel. clean your jets or open your fuel mix a half turn
>2020 street triple r with 3100 miles, in good condition (no cosmetic defects, recent service)>7000 dollarsThis is a scam, right?
>>28720810He means something like the Kawasaki's 451cc(Z, Eliminator, ninja 500), triumph's 400's, Honda's 500's, KTM's 390cc and so on. Inexpensive(drz costs as much as gsx8s), capable of keeping up with the traffic even on highways(where's tour 6th gear drz) and so on and so forth.Right now there simply is price and power band gap in Suzuki's lineup.
>>28720899Too cheap for what it is.
>>28720894I haven't checked them due to the fact im a full time retard and fear i will fuck something big time, i plan to get them checked in the next few weeks >>28720898thanks anon, i assume ill know ive went to far if the bog gets worse?
>>28720903Is this one bad?
>>28720462They are race bikes
>>28720905That's what I'm thinking. There has to be something wrong with it
>>28720462Get a 4 stroke enduro if you aren't racing it. There are some things you can do to increase those intervals considerably. If you are racing it, then what can you say? That's part of the race
Finally got myself a topcase, I'm not sure about the plastic plate, but is cheap enough and very big. I even got a padding backrest in case a cute girl ask for a ride.
>>28720916Why would you cheap out on something like that
>>28720913Is it winter?Simple as go find outIt is a 5 going on 6 year old bike now
>>28720916Girls only want to ride sportbikes, not dad adv bikes.
>>28720916I've got the SH40 and I've loaded that bitch up well beyond the 4kg limit that the manual gives with no issues.
>>28720919I just asked the seller for a big case to fit 2 helmets and he got me a budget for this one (it was cheap compared with the budget from the Honda dealership) and that's it. Didn't know it was plastic until i get home and unmount the case.
>>28720908yea it will start giving you different symptoms. up to 1 full turn should still be in spec but your issue is for sure main jet clogged, its what feeds 70%+ throttle
>>28720916I've been using that top box for about a year. I've loaded it down and gone 80+ MPH on the highway. The plastic plate held no problem. The latch on the box would probably fail before the mounting plate ever would.
Yo fuck USPS for not delivering on Sunday
>there are retards who believe cfmoto won moto3 in 2024>it was a rebranded KTM
>topcaseYou deliver mcdonalds or pizza? Fucking cringe
>>28720923Yes. I intens to go check it out tomorrow when I have some time off. If it's all up to snuff I'll seriously consider buying. It's my least favorite color scheme for this bike but it's not bad looking
>>28720838btw what happened to that cb 500 and vfr kraut?

My local dealer hasn’t sold any DRZ4SM’s since launch, they’ve had them marked down $2000 for the past 2 months and still not gone.If they’re still around in January do you figure it possible I could get them to knock off another $1000?
>>28721045Yeah bro, I just bought a power restricted GSXR1000. See, its a2 compliant. Its the weight and the price that's the issue retard. What is the cost of a new SV650 vs the cost of a CB300R or a G310R? How much does a CB300R weigh vs a SV650, I'm a suzki shill but why is it difficult to see that there is a hole in their lineup?
>>28721074DRZ4SM makes no sense because they changed things that weren't issues and didn't fix the ONE SINGLE ISSUE.No 6th gear.
>>28721074>If they’re still around in January do you figure it possible I could get them to knock off another $1000?This is happening all over the country, it turns out adding EFI and jacking the price up $3000 from the previous DRZ400 was not the best business decision to make when it doesn't even add a sixth gear and the EFI makes it where you can't do any of the tuner mods that DRZs are known for. They're marked off here to be as cheap as the remaining 2023 DRZs sitting on the floor and still aren't moving, the DR650s are flying out the door right next to them. You may get them to give you one by January.
>>28720484Bump. My honder loves head pats. But IDK what Bimmers like.
>>28721074Why would you get one? When you can get a 390 SMR for half the price? Suzuki needs to stop being lazy.
>>28720866Cool bike anon
>>28721082If the problem is price and weight, then you could say price and weight, but you mentioned the power.Btw the CB300R is not sold here, so it's a comparison to CB650R which is exactly 3000€ more expensive than Suzuki. It just depends on the country you live in. Bet jeets can even get 250cc or something which we will never see.
>>28721019Its the retro bikes, ADVs and bikes older than 30 years.
>>28720450your 'ku looks so good anon!
>>28721095And we jeet suffer because we have a 100% import duty on any motorcycle not made in Jeetland. Upto 400cc, you get basically any bike here and its cheap as balls here. A new D390 is like 3k to 4k USD, same for a Himmy or an INT650. We suffer when we try to buy a bike not made in India. Meteor 350 is a bit more than 2k USD new. G310R is also quite cheap.
>>28721104Why do you need more than 400cc if there's no place to ride faster than a 400cc can offer anyways? Well at least of you don't plan to die the same day.
>>28721110Speed limits are rarely enforced. Worst you get is a $40 ticket. There is more freedom here than you'd realize.
>>28721151It's not about legality, but about jeet driving culture and roads.

What is a poorfag communication system I can get?
>>28721469your phone + discord
>>28721469Aliexpress bluetooth comms go for $30
>>28721103That can is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE
>>28721469I bought a pair of BT-SN2S from AliExpress and it works good enough, it is difficult to pair between them, but once done is good enough, works fine to listen to music connected to my phone, after 1 year if you touch the cable in the unit (only happens when touching the buttons), it may lose sound in one ear, (easy to correct), but stills works. A friend of mine managed to connect it directly with his cardo, and mine have more battery life.
>>28721074The ones in my area are down to $7500. I've considered it, but after fees+taxes it's still close to $10k for a 400cc thumper. You can get a KLX 300SM free and clear for the sticker price of the DRZ-4SM. If they drop to under $8k OTD I might actually go get one. I also really like that Blue color and they have 3 of them. >>28721085>fix the ONE SINGLE ISSUE.>No 6th gear.I disagree. I don't really see the lack of a 6th gear as an issue or even something I'd notice. I got to try them out twice at different demo events. At both we got to get out on the interstate and it did fine, nor was that buzzy at 85mph for a couple mile stretch. If you track it or are sumoing around town you'd probably never use the 6th gear anyway. If you're getting a sumo when you might need to tour, you're getting the wrong bike. That's why the only issue is the price. It needs to be "second bike" priced.
>>28721485Can you connect one of them with other brands of comms?
>>28721495You "can't" connect it to other brands, but other brands may be able to connect with it, some premium brands advertise to connect with "anything". I can confirm that Cardo can connect with it, but it must be done from the cardo intercom, I put it into paring and my friend use his phone to somehow connect it with mine.
a few threads ago, some anon told me to take another picture of my bike. here we are.>went out for a ride and found this cool view to take a picture of my bike at sunset>some rando shows up and tells me that he also drives a honda and I should try a different angle for my pics>unpromptedly continues to inform me that iphones take better pics than most other phones>thanks kanye, very cool.jpg>asks if he can sit on my bike because he'd really like his picture being taken on it>sure, go ahead>gives me his iphone>the camera really IS good>tell him to take some pics of me with my phone>they actually DO look far worseguess I really have to upgrade my phone one day. first i've got to find a better fitting jacket though, one size smaller at least because that shit makes me look fat.
>>28721486Nigger it's marketed as a fucken dualsport. It should have a 6th gear.The goddamn DR350 has a 6speed

I think I'm the only one who loves the looks of this bike. Definitely buying it as my first after getting the license
>>28721469>Get the temu/AliExpress cheapo intercom for 10€>Connect It to your phones bluetooth>Use discord voice channels on your phone to comunícate with your Mates (auto reconnects if you lose Signal momentarily)You could also use mumble's phone client which is FOSS and also reconnects automaticallyIts less retard friendly and you need to host a server or make a private Channel in a public server and It may also lack proper noise reduction
>>28721546Top left or bottom left. The ones with the off centre zip will just be annoying
>>28721510People Will spend over 200+ dollaridoos in some overpriced "biker gear" intercom and then be forced to use the "universal mode" with garbage range that loses connection at any turn if there a building or a few trees between both usersWhy bother, just use your phone data at that pointBiker gear is such a scam, they shoud call It "retard tax"
>>28721549I wouldnt get anything bigger than a 250cc as a first bike anon, It Will scare you or send you to the hospital
>>28721524>Nigger it's marketed as a fucken dualsport>SumoYou just roll in from retardville?
>>28721549I love the look of many of the old beemers, dream bike would be one of the big K or R series sport tourers or maybe just a K1300R for the silliness
>>28721560The SuperMoto is just variant. The DRZ is a dualsport motorcycle.
>>28721563the drz400sm is a sumo variantthe drz400s is a dual sport variantthe drz400e is a dirt/trail variantyou're both wrong
>>28721360Is this meant to be makoto
>>28721589Even on the SM model it's still called a dualsport.You make dirtbikes and dualsports SuperMoto's, but it's still just a "supermoto dualsport"
>>28721551>>28721475discord is going to be AI moderating soon so you may have no choice but to use mumble in the near future.
>>28721486>I don't really see the lack of a 6th gear as an issue or even something I'd notice.Come on, man. I have a 650, and even I'd prefer to have an overdrive gear just to drop the RPMs for the highway. I get why they haven't changed it on existing models, but they could have widened the gearbox on the 4s and still have had just as chunky of gears.This shit was less of an issue in the 90s when the speed limit was 55mph, but it's 70mph in most places now.
>>28721486On the supermoto version, the lack of 6th isn't as big of an issue just because the street tires let it hit those speeds at the same RPM. It's actually fantastic how good the DRZ is as a platform.I just wish Suzuki didn't think 'GONNA JACK UP THE PRICE HAHA SUCKERS'. That's really the greatest killer for me. I see Tenere 700s, VStrom 800s, and Transalps go for 10K around here on occasion, so why the fuck would I ever get a 400cc thumper at 10K? Suzuki just seems like they didn't do any market research and were hoping they sell out around Europe to make up for any differences in sales the extra 3K markup costs them. Or maybe the goal all along was to mark it down to DRZ400 levels and just claim they're on permanent discount.
>>28721607>why the fuck would I ever get a 400cc thumper at 10KUnless you're in a certain 5-10% of riders, if you consider the 700cc touring bikes and the DR-Z to be the same market, you don't need the DR-Z. I'm not trying to be a cunt, just some enlightenment from seeing what people get up to on dual sports with good suspensions. Suzuki is trying to place their 400 in a middle ground between the entry level 250/300s and the balls-to-the0-wall 450s.
>>28721596here's the most accurate representation of the intended usage of the bikes. I had to go all the way to 2007 to find when all three were concurrently available to buy new.
>>28721604People are too retarded to copy paste an IP so mumble is hard to adoptSurely a discord clone Will come along and be decent for a few years before It gets enshittified too
>>28721410I wear glasses and nobody can see my hair when I'm wearing my helmet. I look g̶o̶o̶d̶ great on my scooter.
Anon do you feel that biking becomes a niche, a memory from the past? I have a feeling in one decade there will be nobody riding motorcycles.
>>28721620>f you consider the 700cc touring bikes and the DR-Z to be the same market, That's a stretch, who would ever do that? One is a single-cylinder that weighs slightly more than a dirt bike and has the power of one as well, and the others are parallel twins that weigh upwards of 400 lbs. Even the most entry level first-time bike owner can look at the slim and tall profile of one, then look at the shorter and fatter profile of the other, and tell there is something very different about these bikes.
>>28721648>Anon do you feel that having sex becomes a niche, a memory from the past? I have a feeling in one decade there will be nobody having sex.Riding a motorcycle is better than sex.
>>28721648Motorcycling is never dying in Asia. It may eventually succumb to cheap chinese scooters, but there will always be people on two wheels simply because it makes no sense to own a car when a $2000 chink scooter is an entire years pay at the foxconn slave factory.Motorcycling in America will eventually get fucked by regulations kind of like how motorcycling in Europe is going to hard-stop vanish by 2030 because of Euro 6. It'll eventually all be souped-up Ebikes and electric motorcycles that require a 10 hour charge if you wish to go longer than 2 consecutive hours.
>>28721652according to population rates, sex is already a niche memory from the past for most people.
>>28721656Not if you're brown and your last name is Singh.
>>28721656Not if you're black and your last name is Thundercock.
>>28720243>"TRACK SCOOT!!", edition!obligatory
>>28721557I still prefer the direct connection (I assume is done via Bluetooth) in my country, the internet connection is not that good up in the mountains, we tried the Discord method first, and it was shit, we loose connection very often, so he fiddle with the Cardo app and managed a direct connection, with was WAY better, we managed to keep connected about for about 50 meters up in the Alps, with was better than using an internet connection. The problem is the amount of people that can be connected at once, for internet based communication is very large, for direct connection is generally 2
>>28721623>DRZ dressed for the cityRight, so a dualsport dressed for the streetsSuperMotard is by definition a sub category of Dirtbikes/enduros/dualsports
>>28721649>That's a stretch, who would ever do that?Sorry, I figured you were lumping them in the same market when you said "I see Tenere 700s, VStrom 800s, and Transalps go for 10K around here on occasion, so why the fuck would I ever get a 400cc Thumper at 10K?" I don't think Suzuki is pricing against those bikes. Honda's 450rl is 10K, and KTMs 500 is nearly 14K for comparison.
>>28721546you asked this last thread and got called gayfuck off
>>28721661lol nice
>>28721546off-center zips look gay
>>28721712You look gay
>>28721715mad max intentionally makes everyone look gay and that's why it's straight
>>28721717Chaps status?
>>28721717How is that manga called with big guys in tight leather pants and police hats?
>>28721549Get a g310r instead. Dropping this is going to be expensive and heavy.
>>28721695How much is KTM SMC R?
>>28721721I don't think that's a manga, I think that's just old gay fantasy images.
>>28721729390 is $7k. The 690 is double that, but you're getting a suspension that all but demands you beat the living shit out of it. Strange choice of how the engine makes torque on both bikes as well.
>>28721558>250cc>>28721726>g310rWtf are those suggestions? I'm not in india to get myself a 250cc, we don't even have those sold in here. Our classes are A1 with 125cc (which are dangerously useless on highways), A2 with ca. 500cc (with power/weight limits), and full open A category (which I'm doing right now). My training bike in the school has 650cc.
>>28721764You didn't do a2 and are directly going A? I didn't know that was possible.
>>28721777You can go straight to A if you are old enough.
>>28721777I would do A2 actually but it costs exactly the same as A, so made zero to downgrade for no reason. But yeah, you can go directly to A.
>>28721721That's just Tom from Finland
>>28721781I got A in '88, is that old enough.Good luck anyone learning :)

>>28720251Hate it.
>>28721979you hate scooters? why?
Gixxer gang reporting.
>>28721982Because they keep passing me!
>>28721414KTM is anything but defuct, 390s are sold under 4 brand names with slightly different clothes. Triumph 400s, Husky, KTM, Bajaj. Reliable enough, cheap, powerful. Suzuki is definitely coasting. KTM at half price is compelling.
>>28721408Superior aryan genes amirite or amirite?
Threads shit but at least my bike is fucking sweet
>>28721656It has always been this way, we know it better because there are tonnes of people complaining about it online.
>>28721982I hate that they don't let scoots on the track. I love scoots, I have a suzuki 125 that looks like your kymco.
>>28721927>motobobsBobs. Honorary Indian title granted. Its always Suzuki bringing the good babes and Yamaha brining the ugly ones. Tale as old as time.
>>28722026I've loved every gixxer I've ridden (a K2 and this 600)
>>28722041Have you faced any flats with your tubed tyres? I'm a bit afraid of tubed tyres.
>>28722065>your kymcoWhich one?
>>28722073I’ve had way more flats on tubeless
>>28722075The blue one.
What do you wear when riding
>>28722075I think he means my kymco. But yours are beautiful too, fren.
>>28722121
>>28722117Hat gloves boots jacket. Jeans cover my other every day needs.AGV fits my head.
>>28722129My heart emoji didn't show. I was trying to show love.
>>28722117A helmet (never expiring model) and some bundeswehr model 2000 boots. Probably the worst military boot I've ever worn, but a pretty decent riding boot. They're stiff as hell so walking with them is really awkward, but again they're pretty decent motorcycle boots due to their stiffness. I'd reckon they don't let your ankle twist too much in a fall due to their design.
>>28722117from top to bottom:>helmet>protective glasses>leather & textile jacket>base layer (long sleeve tee)>leather gloves>abrasion resistant pants + belt>knee & shin guards>steel capped boots>wool sox
>>28721546
>>28722117Mostly Helmet, taichi gloves and tcx street aces. If I'm going a bit further, I add jacket and pants.
>>28722117shorts, teeshirt, and flip flops.
>>28722141So you ride with your cock and balls out otherwise? Based.
>>28722138fatty lose some weight
>>28722150i need fat to protect my bones if i drop the bike and tumble along the road
>>28722132>>28722129It took me a second but I realized the left one is also a Like 150. It's a great scoot, isn't it?
>>28722140>>28722138btw this!You want bright racing colors to be visible, it can save your life
>>28722154When it was running it was a fantastic scoot but the engine kept stalling while I was riding. One time I was on the freeway with a truck behind me and the engine died so the bike slowed down to a stop with no brake lights so I nearly died trying to get off the freeway with a lot of traffic around me. It happened to me about four times a week so I took the bike back to the dealer to get it looked at under warranty and they gave me an identical loan bike and that bike's engine kept stalling on me too. So I got my money back and bought a PCX.
>>28722161That's concerning. The only time I had something like that was when the battery came loose. Did you find out the issue?
where's the airbags, don't tell me you ride without one
>>28722171They looked at three different areas of the bike but couldn't find the issue and listed it on the warranty document as a "faulty tip sensor", which cuts the engine when the bike tips over. they replaced that part and the bike still kept stalling so the actual issue is still a mystery.
>>28720909Out of production as of 2025. They still have them in dealerships, but its removal creates a gap.
>>28722148Nein shorts and t-shirt.
>>28721054DR4 in current day config that you can just go and pick up at dealership costs as much as gtx8s, it's also still only 5 gear. Unless you really want the offroad capability(I don't know about that much so can't compare) it's a hard sell when you can get KTM Duke 390 for instance(circa 30% cheaper).Suzuki has a hole in their lineup and that's not dome kind of schizo theory it's just what it is.
>>28722117My unofficial riding shoes have accidentally become Van's slip-ons (they're just comfy and easy to wear). Otherwise, I just wear a t-shirt, jeans, some thrasin supply gloves, and my Lithium MIPs helmet. I have a proper jacket and riding pants, but I don't like wearing the pants, and I mostly just wear the jacket when it's cold. I preach ATGATT, but I don't practice it. >Yes, I ride a Harley-Davidson and a liter bike
>>28722189I hope this is AI, because otherwise there's a blind artist who doesn't understand basic proportions or perspective wasting his time out there.
>Vibes magazine is real >in Bakuon they called it Vibe
>>28722041HELL YEAH BROTHERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRchoke still doesn't work
>>28722191I'm a pleb, I noticed distorted fingers of the first girl, what is wrong with the perspective? I just want to learn.
>>28722191>>28722209i think they just have a tough time with hands specifically a lot of their works are tagged "rough draw" i really like it though because i'm not paying attention to the hands that often
>>28722041Why would anyone enjoy riding such a dirty bike, you're a fucking hillbilly pervert, stop abusing it
>>28722041One day it will explode from the abuse and launch its piston thru your stupid skull.
>>28722221real
>>28722174My quick googling said it could have been a clogged fuel filter. Which is inside the gas tank so maybe it was easy to miss.
>>28722221>explode from the abuse>XTI doubt it.
>>28722186Vans are based because the pattern has the star of david in the sole so when I wear them I feel like I am goose stepping on jews.
you guys might remember me, i did the TET with my supermoto, pic related.while ago bike started to run like complete shit, stuttering and whatnot, doesnt take power and nothingwell today they call me from the shop>we have NO IDEA how water got there, but your spark plug connectors and both ignition coils were oxidated to shitkekso yeah i probably shouldnt have done all those water crossings, anyways bike is fine again
>>28722287That's a good looking bike and nice and muddy. I hope to reach you powerlevel someday.
