Isn't it weird how an offroad bike weights half as much as a normal bike but an offroad car weights twice as much as a normal car?
Probably has something to do with one of these being more likely to fall over the slower you go.
>>28778624And the other is more likely to fall over the faster you go.
I wish this was true. They way they make offroad bikes today, unless it started out as a honest to God dirt bike, is to take a successful street bike, fuck with the gearing, and make it heavier by using a more rigid and larger suspension. That's how you get a 400lbs mt07 and a 450lbs Tenere 700.
>>28778632Yeah, but they are both learner bikes, so they aren't designed to be fast
>>28778635Dirt adores learners. It refuses to allow more than ~50hp anyway.
DAKAR SOON
>>28778644>$40,000 for an offroad 450cc
>>28778640Indeed, best place for learners as they are always falling off, and devating about how to countersteer, or park their bike.
>>28778644What about dabike?
>>28778632TBF that was always the winning strategy for Dakar, the bikes just kept getting bigger and faster until the organizers finally set a limit.
>>28778618Your 'offroad bike' is a purpose built machine while that suv is a do-it-all commuter.A purpose built offroad car is quite different.
>>28778645>And an oil change interval of 4 hours
>>28778675>Six oil changes a dayWat
>>28778618>twice as much as a normal carIt is? The Jimny weighs less than 2500lbs, 2600lbs or so for the 5 door and is all the off roader that anybody needs. That weight is literally hundreds of pounds lighter than a normal car like a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla."Offroad car" doesn't have to equal an F250, Suburban or Land Cruiser.
>>28778685Well, you're probably not wringing it's neck for 24 hours straight.
>runs you overNothing personal
>>28778697by a lada no less
>>28778675You do know that shit like CR250s were "replace piston and rings every 2 races or 8 hours", right?Thats straight out of the owners manual.
>>28778685Do you ride 24 hours a day or do you think that interval means every 4 hours even if you don't ride it?
yeah maybe if you're fucking stupid
>>28778738Your races take 4 hours?How slow are you going?I suppose it is a 250
