I also wanted to post this pic from the last thread. I hope you don't mind.
>>28838799Friend, I can't wait until you get rid of that bike and get something you really enjoy. It does look nice though.
can't wait for spring...
>>28838801>It does look nice thoughThat's the worst part, it's an absolute looker
>>28838808Now thats a hot carl.
>>28838793Clean thread
Looking for a new helmet and I'm seriously considering a Bell Race Star. Anyone here have one? On paper they seem great and it comes with a transition visor. Otherwise I'm looking at an Arai RX7 which gets average reviews or a Shoei X-SPR which is really expensive
Second for Honda.
>>28838817Honda supremacy (except they keep making bikes that burn ridiculous amounts of oil)
>>28838810Need to grab non hacked fenders and the chrome trim plates that come around the footrests because someone at some point removed them, but otherwise I love how it looks and especially sounds, it has fancy mistral exhaust and has a very nice slightly rowdy tone to it without being obnoxiously loud.It's like an italian woman, looks good, sounds amazing under you, but don't take her home as they're trouble.At one point I was thinking about dropping a small block Guzzi engine in my Ural, one of the 750 or 850 twins thinking it'd be an improvement in reliability. Now I'm convinced that the Ural is overall better than a Moto Guzzi.Urals suck shit, so it doesn't look too good for bikes in general.
>>28838793EU QUERO GOZAR!
Is it true that top speed of gen 2 Hayabusa is closer to 280 than 299 kph due to shitty ECU? Is gen 3 faster or slower?
>>28838819>s23
>>28838866How about me?
Do you like Yammie Noob?
>>28838849You can make it break 300kph any gen if you wanted to without hurting the bike. Why does it matter. I'd get newer gen as shocks and other wear components last longer? Although depends on the price.
>>28838816I don't know anyhing about bell. I'm looking at KYT NZ Race and Suomy Speedstar2. KX1 apparently doesn't have pocket for cardo speakers, but is roomy for ears. I'd get HJC because I had a CL17 and it was awesome, but HJCs aren't popular here and their visors and visor mechanisms used to suck ass.Go try the helmets on, helmets are designed for certain head shapes, see which one fits you best. I wouldn't discount Arais for mediocre reviews. Also, don't buy old stock.
>>28838925Lol no nigga.
>>28838849They're all 299 unless you get one of the early models, they're electronically limited and have the power to hit that limit
I was at the stealership this weekend and my son about to turn 4 is now the perfect size to operate the controls of a Yamaha PW50, he is very excited, I'm even more excited than he is. I didn't start riding motorcycles until I was 20 because of my parents, I'm so glad to share this with him young. >>28838816I do have one, it was my first expensive side helmet, my only complaint is its very very loud, i actually have quieter jet helmets, I don't know how bell pulled it off. Mine is going strong six years and probably about 12k miles on just that helmet. I wouldn't buy one again because I now know that helmets don't all sound so loud. I always use earpro so it's not so bad but still. >>28838817HONDA>>28838925I like his bike reviews bc he'll often mention tidbits that other reviewers dont mention, but his other videos are ass. The ones where he just yammers, or him and his friend use the whiteboard to rank bikes. Good grief. >>28838934>idk anything about BellBell is really interesting because they literally invented the modern helmet, but then sold out their name and reputation for money. Then they were purchased by a Qatari if I remember correctly who was obsessed with the name and the racing pedigree, and they've for the last at least decade made really good helmets. Except for the race star which is for some reason loud as sin I have had a number of their helmets which are all excellent. I like the classic helmets like the 500 and the moto 3 a lot.
Ate shit today, there was a large patch of ice on the road, probably a good 10cm or so height difference. The front wheel instead of climbing on the raised patch slid to the side and sent the bike flying. Only damage I could spot right off the bat is a scratched valve cover and bent stud, the stud annoys me because it's fine pitch and in a weird size being 7mm.I'll probably just tap it for 8mm normal thread and be done with it.
God I love the hustle and bustle of a big city, lane splitting past all the cages...
>>28838925I used to kinda like him. When he brutally fired that one guy who actually knew shit about bikes and riding I lost all my will to watch his slop. It went very downhill
>>28838978>Yamaha PW50Hello dad senpai. You are awesome.
>>28839017I hate it, I wanna ride alone, I don't have the skills to ride offroad, I'd do that if I could.
>>28839046>I don't have the skills to ride offroadno one gets better by not practicing
>>28838925Nobody like influencers, discord trannies, or plebbitors here anon>>28839044Youre never too old for a pitbike manchild-sempai
>>28839046>, I don't have the skills to ride offroad,You didn't have the skill to ride onroad in the beginning either.
>>28839077>>28839072My ADV might be a bit much to learn offroad with. I have to get a smaller lighter bike. I did offroad with my ADV and I felt like I was going to drop the bike a few times. I have two bikes and a scooter, how do I even justify getting one more small offroader?
>>28839096>hes afraid of dropping his bikeYou wouldnt survive a day with picrel in the mojave wasteland of new vegasYou'd dump your bike instantly>he has a scooterFake and gay, not a motorcycle, go get knobulars for it
>Wakey wakey Shoom senpaiYour rain deer is here
>>28839096Buy a $1000 clapped out dirt bike, power doesn't really change how fun offroading is
>>28839107I have knobbies on the ADV, not full offroad, its michelin anakee wild. Scoot has tiny 12" wheels, they don't sell knobbies for it. But I'd take my scoot and I have taken my scoot to sketchy places, and I'm not afraid of dropping it. Even if I drop it, it's way too easy to lift. I've taken my road bike to sketchy places because its easier to reach the ground and easier to lift if it ever falls.
>>28839114I should maybe sell my road bike and get that offroader then.
>>28839111BrosWhy are you waifu posting
Weight reduction bro
>>28839125I thought it would be funny, its trips and Shoomer is going to have ride rain deer as a Canadian. His biking days are over.
>>28839126I piss around a litre, what the fuck is 3 ounces? Like 85 grams? That's like a strong fart right?
>>28839130Yes and that means it is 1 wet fart lighter now and looks better doing it.
>>28839134Apparenly one fart cannot weigh 85g. I'll take that back, LLMs say its weight of one watch. WTF bruh? Eat less, shit your guts out, lose some wight, that will have more of an effect than that.
>>28839126looks neat
>>28839142Anon I want to inform your autistic ass that I bought them because they look cool. The fact the number went down at all is just a cherry on top and not the primary reason kek. Silly minmaxfag >>28839143Thanks anon
>>28839146What brand?
>>28839149Lady Boy. Made in Thailand.
>>28839146Glad you are enjoying it.
>>28839130Ypure gonna pay 15,000 wulongs for titanium hardware thatll rattle out of your threads even with loctite and youre gonna ENJOY IT because of the 2lbs weight reduction in these components>>28839128Its not funny, im still a hasbike and a halfbikeI am supposed to be renewing my safety ticketsI dont even care I dont want bikeI dont want moniesI dont want to exist in this frozen shitholeNot funny, bigly sad brosReindeers are kino, theyre like the wr250r of deersBasically indestructibleI need reindeer riding waifu now, why did you do this to me
>>28839150Ok meme aside it's ladybird, made in Japan.>>28839154Yippieeee
>>28839155The hardware is steel. The hangers themselves are made of titanium.
>>28839159>he didnt get titanium EVERYTHING so that a missing bolt costed him his next gas station visitWhat are you, poorfaggin it with the weight savings?WHAT ARE YOU, ALSO FAT?
>>28839163>are you fatYou got me, I'm 500 pounds. I weigh more than the bike itself wet. Im like Peter Griffin on a moped. >1 gas tank worth hardwareI don't like ti hardware because they don't last as long.
>>28839163Doesn't titanium tend to chew through aluminium really fast due to being a noble metal?
>>28839178>>28839181>noble metal>fit for the noble baron biker500lbs?How the fuck do you even ride brosThats like 2.5x shoomiesWhat da fuq
>>28839186>500libs>226kgFucking hell, a healthy sized American.I got to 105kg and decided that I'm a fatass and need a new bike, an exercise bike.
>>28839181NTA but yes, the titanium will cause a rapid galvanic corrosion to the aluminum. Thankfully, the titanium is being mated to stainless steel so that process is slowed versus being mated to aluminum.
>>28839193Just put some antiseize like copper paste on it and it should be fine.
>>28839197Smart, I'll actually do that this evening. Thanks for that.>>28839186>>28839189Spirituality I am 500 pounds. Physically I am skeleton lookin for his casket. (They will need to make a extra XXXL wide coffin so I can stretch in there)
>>28839200Another pro tip, titanium bolts taste good :)Unlike stainless steel or copper which has that weird metallic and bitter taste, titanium tastes sweet kinda like coolant.
>>28839202I've snorted my fair share of Ti' chips in my day, I know. It pairs perfectly with 1960s coolant, store and aged to perfection.
>>28839044i am actually a HONDA man but everytime we go to the dealership (suzuki yamaha honda dealer) he only wants to sit on yamahas because they are blue, even though he insists red is his favorite color, he says motorcycles should be blue. Okay, he can be a yamaha guy. I'm sure because he wants a blue dirt bike his brother with want a red or yellow or green dirt bike, and their sister will want whatever isn't picked and so on and so forth... >>28839111Reindeer females are the only cervid females with antlers, fun reindeer factIn other news, I really want Harley to make a standard motorcycle again. Pic related.
>>28839096>My ADV might be a bit much to learn offroad with.Define 'offroad'. Most ADV's would probably be fine for going as fast down a gravel/dirt/fire road as you're comfortable accepting risk for if shit goes sideways.Are you trying to catch air, supercross style? Are the washouts and rocks so damn bad you might as well be doing hard enduro pace? Is it deep sand? That's really where you should have brought a lighter bike.
>>28838978I'm trying to avoid loud. Motocap measured it at 92.5dBThe RF1400 was measured at 96.1dB even though people always claim it's a quiet helmet. I had a 1200 and I don't remember it being significantly quiet.
>>28838866Pretty good tyre. Next time I'll try a Rosso IV Corsa
>>28839017>Clobbered by a rear doorWhat the fuck
anons. Besides the DR650 and KLR650, are there any other brands that compete with those two in the same price range and with similar usability?
>>28839448Himalayan 450.
>>28839448xr650l. It's the most dirt bike of the 3 options, with the dr in the middle, and the klr being more highway. But don't get it wrong, the differences between those three bikes is miniscule compared to the differences between the big bore singles and a modern ADV twin.
>>28839424Someone thought they were butting in line and thought, "Today is the day I make a difference."

What bike do I get to give my female passenger the most pleasure in her nether regions?
>>28839584I was imagining putting some kind of vibrator in the seat that activates when the RPM hits a certain value then increases strength as the rpm increases. You'd have to make the seat a shape where it'd reach the clit, and I'm not sure how long you'd get away with it
>>28839584Literally any big V twin, if you're cheap you could get a big ol' single thumper bike to do the trick as well.No inlines, no smooth bikes. You gotta pick consistent rumblers like a thumper or twin. Unironically be prepared to clean the mess up, the smell will be in the passenger pillion (which isn't a bad thing)
>>28839448Ibex450Himalayan 450KLE 500 in a few months is going to obsolete the KLRTo be honest, Versys-x 300 and NX500 will do just about anything a sane person would do on any of the other bikes.
>>28839636>Unironically be prepared to clean the mess up, the smell will be in the passenger pillion
>>28839643>KLE 500 in a few months is going to obsolete the KLRI don't think that will happen, but we'll see. People that are already favoring any of the 90s style thumpers, efi or carb, clearly aren't picking the bike based off of the riveting performance numbers.
>>28839636>No inlinesI4's are known for their tingles. My Bandit was my GF's favorite bike.

>>28839310Gravel/dirt road is fine for me, I'm struggling with turning it in a sharp U turn up/down hill. There are rocks, gravel etc. Up was fine actually, I didn't feel it. Downhill was where I found it difficult.

>>28838350The slipper pins just needed adjustment, it's all good now, gay ass faggot wrenchlet :)
>>28839310And mud. If you drop a 500lb bike in slippery sticky mud, you're going to have a bad time.
>>28839698Right, I get that. However tingles pale in comparison to what the rolling vibrators offer. The I4 buzzes once rev'd up though
>>28839584A maxiscooter but she has to sit facing backwards.
I traded left for right, the klr 650 is too heavy for off road, I could actually drive that pcx160 through the woods. It would get stuck in the mud sure but why not just drive around it?Now I have a shitty top heavy street bike that I can't for the life of me figure out how to mount a box on.You have to take the plate off to mount a the box to it because there's no clearance between the back rack and the body, but how the fuck are you supposed to mount the plate with the box on it back onto the rack when the bolt holes are covered up by the box?It's bullshit, I should have kept my scooter.
>>28839879kyute kat
>>28839879>slices your leg in half if you crash head onnothing personnel kidI could never trade my PCX160. Mainly because the engine is fucked and it's missing a few panels but also because I had a lot of fun on that bike.
>>28839879okay
>>28839816Yeah, I don't fuck with mud if I can help it. We have clay here and that shit does not come off of boots or a bike without a pressure washer.
>>28838884>mystery meat
>>28839807>gay ass faggot wrenchlet :)That's not you right? Happy that your bike is fixed now.
>>28839643>>28839448I'd add F450GS, has to come out in a few months.
>>28839879>I should have kept my scooter.Never selling my scoot. I have also done offroad on my scoot. smol bikes are lot of fun.
>>28839448KTM Adventure 390, it fine, its no Honder.
>>28839833Nice dubs, yes, she has to sit facing you. She comes in between the handlebar and me lol.
>>28839155>Not funny, bigly sad brosChecked. Sorry senpai. May god bless you with many more bikes and riding days. To get a reindeer waifu you have to go to Mongolia. Time for long way round.
>>28840005Bitch ass BMW using a 19" front, making your life harder for no damn reason when you need to shop for tires.
>>28839879Get one of those plastic tool boxes and put a metal plate inside.Also were you shooting, drinking and riding the scoot?
>>28840084It is taller and its difficult for shorties and first-time riders. Although Himmy did 21". 19" is not that big of a deal right? Atleast of noobs? The big GS comes with 19" fronts? The tyre shop, you might be right.
>>28840091It was actually supposed to be a shitpost image a long time ago and ironically the best of the whole 2 pictures I have of it. I was shooting though, the PAP-92 is a fun ak pistol.The beer can came from the fire pit in the background, like hell I would drink Bud Light.
>>28840091>Also were you shooting, drinking and riding the scoot?That's the best isn't it? Riding trails with a AK mounted on handlebar, drinking beer and shouting yee-haw? I imagine that's what Yanks do every Sunday afternoon.
>>28839942Soviet era И-40 tyres, no idea how old they are, but given how they're CДEЛAHO B CCCP, at least 30+ years.Still got plenty of tread left on em, so I'll ride them till they're flat.
Yamaha is so cooked in MotoGP I don't even wanna shill for them anymore. Everything I like turns into shit
>>28840096Well excellent shitpost.And for the box just check KLR forums of what people have mounted to the back.>>28840098Sounds more Yugoslavian to me. Americans would dual wield AR with a beer hat.
>>28838925Every now and then a memey slop moto video from yammie is just what the doctor ordered. In general, he's kinda meh. He's been a large cog in the anti-supersport movement, spouting the "usable power" bullshit, so he's a faggot for that.>>28839032That was pretty fucked up what he did to Spite, but that nigga is a fat retarded goy.>>28839111Shoom are you gonna make it through this deployment to the oblast?>>28839590>>28839636The inline fours will sometimes produce enough vibration to stimulate their clit. The supersports 600-1000. The bigger ones are too smooth.>>28840004Just me, myself, and I. It's all good now, thanks.
>>28840105About as American as you can get.
>>28838819My 2007 F800ST (first bike, one month driving licence).
>>28839879I don't know how people go off-road on bikes weighing 450lbs or more. My dualsport is 330lb and it's a fucking bitch sometimes if I drop it. Notice all the videos showing how to pick up a bike are showing you on flat grass in dry conditions.

Guys you really need to stop being so racist.https://youtu.be/Kfr8H2BTP7A
>>28840153In the non USA part of the world this is very enlightning. We hear of this stuff but never see it,
>>28839096what kind of ADV? once you get into and and comfortable on it its absolutely based. but you're gonna basically learn by dropping it all the time. Get crash bars if you can and brushgaurds, maybe carry just enough tools and a spare clutch lever or shift lever to repair those things if they break so you dont get stuck in the sticks. Sounds dumb but check your tire pressure and see what people in your area are running offroad, makes a huge difference.>>28839107show us how you offroad like that instead of just being a larping fat retardfallout fans are faggots and you're proof
>>28840170The whole thing is pretty neat, huh.
Well this thing was surprisingly easy to get running after a year or so of not starting. Just some octane boost and injector cleaner and away she went. Are pp3 still a thing? I want pp3 tyres or something comparable in tyre life/grip, idc about wet weather performance.
>>28838925He's a faggot, but not as much as a faggot as pic relataed
>>28840176The world needs more of that.
>>28838978>4chan users are parentsHorrifying
>>28840106>The inline fours will sometimes produce enough vibration to stimulate their clit.This coming from a guy that finally got to touch it at the ripe age of 40
>>28840246God I want that bike
>>28839879Very cute post
>>28840106>thie deploymentIm on days offIm supposed to be renewing my ticketsWondering if i should just do that and get different job or go back to the loser i hate Or book flight and never come back be a nobike forever
That stop on your test is to prove you know what the brakes do. It isn't a competition it's to prove you don't fly over the bars or sail by the examiner with the back locked up.Top tip for learner dudes there.
>>28840314How's this a tip kys btw
>>28840306Not cute. The faggot sold his scoot.
Lost the front on my scoot while braking hard, I gained it back almost instantly but, I made an old man worry. He shouted at me. I rode less hard after that. I should be wary that this lil guy doesn't have ABS.
>>28840174Its f850gsa. I'm afraid of dropping it on my legs and having to trouble someone else help lift it off me. Also even when I don't, it might be a bit difficult for me to lift it. It came with all the crash protection it ever needs. Just need to install a bash plate.
>>28840174About the tyre pressure, I was running road pressure. 36, 42 I think. Also should've used the Enduro mode.
>>28840109That's a super cool bimmers anon.
