I don't care for """adventure""" bikes
>>28932332If tou wanted K5 shenanigans you should have bought a GSXR-1000 K5. Suzuki have been leaning on the legacy of that sportsbike for 20 fucking years. It's marketing guff at this point.>memba da K5?
What’s it worth?Description->Super fun lil hardtail chopper to rip around on ! It does not run at the moment I have pics of it when it did and then the last pics are what it looks like now. It started making a lil metal to metal noise on the top end ? I’m guessing rocker box or possible push rod issue ?!? I have other projects I’m ready to move on with, so this is a killer project for those that wanna wrench a lil and have a cool ride ! New tires and bearings, I recently rebuilt the transmission and it has all new primary gaskets and seals. Any questions shoot me a message …BEST OFFER GETS IT !!!
>>28932352I mean.. if it ran it would be cool. Fix it boomer shitbrain.
Bikes are washed and chains are cleaned and lubed. It's muthafuckin Friday.

Should I just get Tourer (sport or ADV)or get Naked and put windshield/topbox on it?im half and half between Z900RS SE and Transalp/800DEthey are in the same bracket
>>28932360Thanks for the tip homieOr should i say nobike

>>28932341I’m 6’4 and love long trips. Can’t do supersport positioning no mo
>>28932393I'll be posting a daily pic, You can imagine yourself there
>>28932394I mean the K8 was derided as a sports tourer when it came out.
>>28932354Son, if it ran... I'd add another digit to the price. Count yourself lucky you even got to read the posting, this bike (fully custom, one of a kind) at this price (pennies on the dollar) is a steal for any young man that isn't afraid of a challenge.-Steven 'Steve' Williams-US Navy RotC 1st semester 1982"You can't fix stupid"
>>28932362>>28932358 hereWould probably go with the ADV over the naked if it's your only bike. They are more comfy and very good all-rounders.
>>28932381My bike is a 2025 model that was designed in the 90s. My riding playlist is all based on artists who long for the 80s. My edc is a polymer implementation of a gun from the 70s. We're posting on a site that hasn't updated it's UI beyond the 2000s. You can call people 'homie' with sincerety now.
>>28932335Strange, some are coming with silver radiators.
Got my first riding lesson in two days, and it makes me excited and anxious at the same time. What if I drop fucking 200kg on my foot on day one and will be scared of the bikes for the rest of my life? It's going to be on Suzuki SV650.
How hard is building a chopper for a guy like me that has tools, but isn’t mechanically inclined?Say I buy the engine, frame, transmission, etc. Would I just be better off buying one already done for say 6 grand? Also what is an MSO? How hard is it to title a built bike?
>tfw 2 shoomers without rear tiresIm trying to sold my bikesTurns out, im jonesin for a bike to rideI need them sold and i need to disappeared before court jannies boogaloo 2.0 happens in june, fr fr this time because its the pink slip edition now
>>28932443I've never heard anybody describe their chopper build experience as "easy". But maybe being less mechanically inclined would result in getting less ambitious or creative with what you feel like you should remove or relocate? In any case, it will always cost more to title a custom build than it will to chop an already running, titled bike.
Should I buy a relatively mint gas tank near me?Mine is perfectly fine, however I have no intention to get rid of the bike im question so the idea of having a spare incase of the original getting fucked from an accident or crash seems like a wise investment. Although, they do sell aluminum aftermarket tanks but it's 3x the cost. However one does get a lot of weight savings from it.Invest in spare OEM or save my money and IF something ever happens just buy an alu replacement?

is it worth fucking around with cheap chinese comm units or do I just bite the bullet and buy some Cardo?
>>28932627I like gundam
>>28932677Dont buy a cardo.
>>28932677I like my cardo
>>28932677Lexin MTX. Been using it for 2 years. I don’t even care about money, my shoei is $1600 and I use lexin on it. Works perfect, have it paired with my helmet for backpack whores
>>28932694Neato
>>28932677>>28932694this one btw. Check aliexpress it’d be cheaper there
>>28932696Nice. I initially ordered your model but returned it. The mtx has better speakers and you can also pair music with rider helmet. Mesh-Com is top tier for talking to your whores
>>28932694>>28932698my current headset is a Lexin G2P and it works fine, but haven't tried pairing it with another unit though
>>28932700I dont connect with anyone. So it works for me.
>>28932696>>28932700posting receiptsI dont get why anyone would buy a cardo and burn money on that shit
>>28932701>>28932703Yeah you can get by it as a single rider. But if you pair it the mic is total ass.Mtx also pairs with cardo/sena fags btw

I'm tired of riding alone. the best rides I have are when I randomly run into a group of other riders and get semi adopted by them for the few miles we're going the same wayanyone ever start riding with people off facebook? there's a few local groups that organize rides every so often. i guess i can go and bail if it gets too gay
>>28932739I used to be in a riding club. It started off as silly fun. Then it got weird, and some people started taking it way too seriously.
>>28932758i think it wouldve been funny if you used a plot from sons of anarchy to describe your riding club issues
>>28932715Post twink bike
>>28932627As soon as I saw the panam, that' what I wanted to do with a wrecked one.
>>28932739Just get a riding buddy. I'm part of two groups one is a bunch of gym buddies and the other is Warhammer players.Having shared interest beside bike gives you something to talk about when you stop for food and drink.
I still want one of these. I saw a second gen out in the wild for the first time the other day.
>>28932795I wonder if Harley Davidson is ever going to enter World SSP. They dominated Super Hooligan when they started racing in that class. Considering that class has the MT09 I'd imaging they would spank the R9 in WorldSSP.
>>28932807That would be something.
>>28932825Then again, I doubt they would be able to buy out the WSSP organizers if they started losing.
>>28932829Forgot pic.
what's the appeal of this? why do people have these?
>>28932843Everyone I know who had one or wanted one was already pretty old and never rode before, fo I assume it has to do with a lack of confidence, although one guy I knew liked the idea it was similar to a snowmobile.
>>28932829>>28932842Interesting. What is the meaning of this?
>>28932843I know a guy that had one. He couldn't hold a motorcycle up anymore and wanted one last hurrah. He wasn't even that old he just didn't take care of himself.
>>289328512025>Harley Davidson winning.>No changes to rules2026>Indian winning>Two races in, change the rules to favor HD.TLDR; Some fans have been suspicious of MotoAmerica favoring Harley because Harley has deep sponsorship pockets. Personally I always just assumed Harley Davidson was winning the two classes they are in because they could afford to hire all the top riders for their teems. But yeah changing the rules two races in to the session is kinda sus.
>>28932597Already what?Also, still doesn't answer my question of if I should snag the oem tank for a spare or buy an alu tank later down the road
>>28932739the OP used to have a map for just this occasion...>>28932851why limit RPM at all? If limited, why limit it by manufacturer? This seems reatarded!!!
>>28932881>why limit RPM at all?Probably to equalize max developed hp.
>>28932599Pretty cool baik. I'd buy.
>>28932870That's pretty gay. Thank you for explaining it in a way I can understand.
>>28932329cute rare ons
Hypothetically speaking, let’s say there’s a really pretty custom bike. No title BUT it has an “MSO”. It’s my understanding that this is basically a birth certificate for a bike. Is this something simple to take care of, or is this just something you just don’t wanna mess with?
>>28933000>MSOThey better be a licensed dealer. Otherwise this smells like Title Jumping.
>>28932806They're bulletproof, even thirdies still have some of those, after many accidents, neglected maintenance and too many owners - they still run no matter what. Now try to find a Magna V4 on the streets - they don't fucking exists anymore, this is because Yamaha was always better than Honda and still is.
any anons here?
>>28933009Well it’s a shovelhead chopper with a custom frame.Does it still sound weird? Is getting a title for something like that a headache and a half?
What does this heat spotting on the edge of the tire mean?
Put my new hard bags and sissy bar on in prep for my CO -> NM -> AZ -> CA -> NV trip next week. Seem pretty decent, I keyed them to match my key so it’s all locking. Now I’ve just gotta finalize my pack.
>>28933045Incorrect tyre pressure? How much are you running?
>>2893304733 cold. Probably a bit much for what I was doing. Rode an hour to the twisties and then sent it pretty hard after we passed a trooper doing mach Jesus.
>>28933046Looks good, I always say that I do not like hard luggage but the last 3 bikes I've owned had soft cases of some kind that I never took off unless I was parked in front of a hotel then I'd take it in the room with me. Don't the M8's run off a key fob though? Or are you talking about the fork lock
Any good rides this weekend? I’m going into the north cascades although fucking flooding means i can’t go the whole way through
>>28932739I tend not to because most bikers are fucking weird. They take it too serious, are gay, are fucking dull as paint (so they bought a bike for a personality) or are gay/trying to hit on women for lack of personality.
>>28932332What sold you on the GX? Especially since the CB1000GT is coming out soon, is apparently much smoother to ride, and will be about $4k cheaper.
>>28933067Yes it runs off a key fob but still has a key for the fork lock that fits in the hard bag lock. It’s a low rider s so the bags are just for long trips, most of the time I’ll have no bags on it.
Luv me Ural, simple as.Need to start transferring shit over to the new frame, but the issue is I'm starting to like this frame too.
Does it feel good to have a girl in the back seat?
>>28933092If you’re riding a bike heavy enough that it doesn’t matter how stupid they are. Yes It’s also very nice when they rub your dick after a while to signify that the ride has gotten them horny enough for a quick intermission blowjob off the side of thr road

No bully.I had lots of nice people waving me to overtake today, even on long curvy stretches of double-yellows. Bless these people.
>>28933104Tfw they get off the bitch-seat bowlegged and ornery instead.
>>28933092Feels good that she enjoys herself. However, my wife terrifies me as she sometimes falls asleep on the back and I have to shake her arm to keep her awake.
>>28933133On one hand, nightmare fuel. On the other hand, imagine being THAT comfortable on the back of a bike as someone else rides it.
>>28933131Better than getting off after 3 minutes on the tiller complaining she's gonna puke.>I thought you were gonna go fast :c>>I didn't want to put you off. Lap two then?>:D->D:|>DX<
>>28933134Total nightmare fuel yes. She trusts me completely and she is used being a pillion, growing up without a car in her family.She also choose my bike because it was the most comfortable out of 5 other bikes. My bike is a RE meteor 350.
>>28933137Absolutely nightmare fuel.I can't find it, there was like this dead-man switch version of those Oxford pillion grips.Honestly, I think I might just be thinking of a ghetto-rigged elastic bungee we had one guy (that I never rode with) in the group talking about it.
>>28933141Might be a good idea, at the moment I just shake her arm every 5km and take a break every 30km.
>>28933143Might pay to upgrade from bungee to a full-on ratchet strop lmao.
>>28933144Even in death, we will not part. First thing that came to mind with a bungee system.
Not a mechanic but could use help/advice:Changed my oil recently. When I was riding the other day I checked the oil level, and I saw it was foamy. Like a thin layer of bubbles on the top, they weren't going away quickly when stopped or the bike turned off. Did I add too much oil, googling says it can get foamy like that if there was too much added? I am positive nothing else got inside when I changed it, and I had just bought the oil from the store that day so I really doubt it was contaminated or anything like that. Last time I changed my oil (using the same brand) I didn't have this problem.Is there an easy fix I can do? Is there a best way to drain just alittle bit of oil without taking the plug out or anything like that? Thanks.
>>28933151Wait for it to be cold and check the sight glass. If it does have too much oil you can open the plug a little bit and let it drain out until you get the right level.
>>28933151Smell fresh, cold oil. Then, smell your oil from the fill port when the engine is hot. How much like petrol does it smell?IMO do an oil change anyway, but the (if) fuel smell is usually indicating of either running rich, running too cold or too much blow-by on the rings.
>>28933130Feels weird seeing such a big beach/bay/thing with barely anyone one there.
>>28932704I use the cheapo 30 dollar Alibaba shit. Mic is terrible but it is fine for music.
The fuck you retards are talking about? When you use the COMMS device as just a Bluetooth speaker, of course it does not matter how much it costs and if it's from Aliexpress. However retards COMMS device is about communication with other devices. If you dont use it like that then shut the fuck up and don't pollute the thread with your braindead takes about how it plays music. Fucking stupid niggers.
>>28933189
>>28933189Ok nobike
>>28933077I wanted a bike this season, in Canada. No sign of CB GT here yet. Other than I like the front end of the GX more, its not all dad mode in looks and the 152 HP helps too
>>28933189Agree, I have 10 buck earpods for music, but it's understandable no one here talks about the comms part because no one here has any friends to talk to
>>28933208also important to mention, got one helluva deal on the GX. 17.5k cad out the door
>>28933212>>28933208I couldve solded you the zx14r pill for less, but you just didnt ask and couldnt waitedInstead you stole the time machine pill fundraiser and now we are all morally bankruptIts over
Just picked this up for 2500. Has 13k miles on it. Rode it 80 miles back home. What a great little bike, a lot higher up and aggressive than my 650 ninja but it's fun.
I've been looking around local dealerships, hoping to get a bike in the next month or two.Fuuuuck it sucks having to wait, but financing sucks worse.
take cub pill
>>28933227If only there was a way to buy things with cash
>>28933214Insurance on “R” bikes is ridiculous here. GX is a stealth gxr1000 and the insurance cost is 3x cheaper than an R bike. Canada is retarded
>>28933233What do you think I'm waiting for, the weather to turn? It's already riding season around here, I'm just a month or so off of having the funds, at least according to the prices I'm looking at.

any anons tried 3d printing velocity stacks? I designed and printed some for my bike and it's been pretty cool
>>28933279>"With a Cub, you can go anywhere you want"
>>28933389Are those CVKs?
>>28933406they are mikuni bs32ss carbs, ended up going from 92.5 main jets to 102.5 mains, plus two 0.5mm shims on the needles. can definitely feel the torque difference
>>28933339Anything else worth renting out there?
>>28933432why? And how did you reach that number?
>>28933389You do not have access to flow testing those printed stacks, for all you know you've nerfed performance because of this.
have any of you ever been dumb enough to sell your car to buy a bike?
>>28933450the stacks flow a lot more air than the stock airbox, so I had to go up jet sizes. I ordered multiple sizes of jets and tested until it wasnt running too rich or lean.>>28933467I mean sure I don't have access to flow testing, but I know my bike and it pulls harder with these vs the stock airbox. plus I intend to print different versions, with different lengths, cone angle, etc and see how it changes things. let a man have some fun tinkering, anon
>>28933226NICE
>>28933309wtf this is a cub? this thing is SICK. I like da wheels.
>>28933208I do want liter or near liter tourer as well but I cant decide between GX Versys NinjaSX Tracer9 and up coming GB GTwhy are they all good?
>>28933266Nuh uh. But really I’m thinking of trading the 701 for a t700 for a bit more highway comfort. I don’t do too many super technical trails these days.
>>28933473no but the oppositei've sold a bike to get a down payment for a truckregretted it almost immediately

>>28932995thanks i make my own. Day 2 of long weekend: chill ride with thumper brotomorrow is another big group ride with all the fast ladsDid you ride today anons?will you ride tomorrow?
>>28933473my brother sold his T120 to buy a bicycle which cost the same price
>>28931424Are there are fire roads you could start off on? Just kinda flatter gravel tracks are a nice way to start and then start pushing your options and go from there, I don't know what the legalities are where you are so I don't know exactly how you'd find the specific trails, maybe see if you can find some off road riders locally and see if they'll share some trails with you.With regards to that dualsport, I was talking to a buddy today about it and I think what looks odd about it for a dualsport is the sort of naked/streetfighter style headlight and the lumpy seat rather than a skinnier flat seat. It looks like something I'd expect to see people flying around on in like Vietnam. Otherwise it looks okay, if not a little underhwleming performance wise, I'd probably rather get a used CRF250L or something in all honesty, but it's nice to see them try to break into another market.
>>28933506Get the GX. The suspension on it is mindblowing. Versys is ugly, Ninja SX is uglier, Tracer 9 is bretty good but I already had fun with a three cyl on the tiger, and CB GT looks like its made for old farts and its 20hp less than gx
>>28933568Edit; cb is 147 hp. Still, not sold on the looks and front end
>>28932317It won't do any harm, and chances are a lot of the expensive ones are also made in China, do it.
Where are we riding this week my dudes? I'm hoping to get out on Monday and go have a play on the trails again, I'll take the helmet camera and try and get some shit for webms.
At the top of Skye tonight. Tomorrow ferry to North Uist :)
>>28933506The Tracer 9 GT has really grown on me over the years. Its a really good do everything bike for commuting, city, and back roads. You can find really good deals on the for what they are. The GX is $7000 over what I paid on my a brand new Tracer. The deal I got to take the bike off their lot was too good to pass up. Though if you can find a good deal on a GX go for it.Ultimately get the one you have your heart set on. It tool some mods to get the Tracer to not look weird to me.>>28933568I do prefer the GX styling, but I bought my Tracer before the GX was announced.
>>28933562yeah easy gravel is what i want to do, learn how to turn properly and building confidence on slippery surfaces and in general get my feet wet with the pilen. i didn't think about searching for a group or something like that desu i feel kinda dumb.>Otherwise it looks okay, if not a little underhwleming performance wise, I'd probably rather get a used CRF250L or something in all honesty, but it's nice to see them try to break into another market.to be honest we have so little choice for that segment in europe i'm happy there is another choice, performance doesn't matter it's a little dual sport, as long as you can do 110km/h to reach the trails and it's not stupid heavy it's good enough.speaking of dual sport stuff. anyone has any experience with the airoh bandit and/or commander 2? i test fitted the commander 2 and it's so light and fresh but i'm not sure i want to drop the 400 tokens for it, but the bandit is that much of a downgrade? i find so little reviews of them. any other bang/buck dual sport bucket i should consider?
>>28933589Baste, enjoy your ride.>>28933591>i didn't think about searching for a group or something like that desu i feel kinda dumbIf I were closer to you anon I'd happily ride with you, my local trails are nice with a good variety without being something you'll get into any real trouble on.>to be honest we have so little choice for that segment in europe i'm happy there is another choiceYeah I know what you mean, I think the A2 license really cucks us because everything has been neutered for power to stay A2 legal.

>>28933610Take pics
my dads a faggot motorcyclist and is being extremely pendantic about how his shitty bell helmet has piss poor sound insulation and how its making his faggot ears uncomfortable and the speakers he put in them suck because of wind noise.what does he need to buy so he can shut the fuck up forever about it.I am sick of this broken record bullshit I've been hearing it for atleast 10 years.
they are multiplying
>>28933628The Bell helmets aren't even bad, sounds like he just needs to start using earplugs or needs to get some bluetooth earbuds if he wants to listen to things.
>>28933628a punt gun, so he can kill you
>>28933480>I don't have proof, but my ass would never lie to meAnon, the placebo effect exists. You might feel it be faster but you have literally 0 evidence to prove if it's actually going faster, where you're losing torque, where you gain, etc It's not as simple as LEZ MAKE DA STACK SHORTA 4 MOAR POWA
>>28933637I keep fucking telling him to just insulate the helmet and wear earbuds but he wants speakers.if it was up to me I would smear bondo gutters over the gaps by the visor to cut the wind noise down and hotglue a fucking sock into the thing but he insists on having speakers and probably communication as if I want to hear him fucking yapping on a trip.

>>28933645you can wear earplugs and listen to music if he has the speakers. look into concert earplugs
>>28933645At this point anon I think the only appropriate response would be suicide.Seriously though he needs to realise that helmets on motorcycles are loud, he either needs to get a big lame windscreen or get some earplugs.
Happy Eurobirthday, Hane-chan
>>28933727cute post
>>28933727nice>>28933601that would have been really apreciated, thanks anon. one of the guys i ride with just got a used GS so he said as soon as i find some unpaved we can go together but to be honest i kinda want to go alone for the first time even if it might be a bad idea, i just kinda don't want to be a drag for other people and my first really bad, slow, full of stops experiences may be better for some solo-adventures
Its dead
>>28933480>until it wasnt running too rich or lean.Got it, what about the needle shims, how did you know to put two?
>>28933645Does he not realize you can hear music even with earplugs? I just use cheap CVS foam ones with a Sena that I've had for like 15 years and they work fine
Oh no I think i'm gonna buy Suzuki Vstrom. I'm sorry Honda-Chan.
how retarded of an idea would it be to remove the OEM air filter box and replace it with eg. pipercross pod filters?
>>28933643believe what you want, but on my route to work it's very hilly. I can literally use a higher gear for hills that I had to downshift for previously. I had to go up many sizes because it was too lean with the new stacks. dunno what to tell you anon it's a bike from 1981, there's improvements that can be made to it. I'm not claiming this is some insane upgrade, idk why you are getting so riled up>>28933753I added the first set of shims and went on a test ride to see if the midrange felt better, which it did. tried another set and it got even better. tried a third shim but it started feeling worse again so I went with 2 shims. just testing each increment and seeing where I need to go from there
>>28933778depends on how well you can dial in the fueling and if the filtration is good enough for your wants.
>>28933781that reminds me: can I use a wideband O2 sensor to help with dialing in the fueling on a carbureted bike?
Who here milked their baiku today?
>>28933786Is that a mix of coolant and oil dripping from the engine?
>>28933782You can't, but yea it can be done. Wrenchlet
>>28933782I'm not sure. I think if you set it up with an AFR gauge, but if it has more than one carb, you'd have to use a bunch lol.
>>28933786No, but i did drsin the crf450rl coolant the other week, i still have to drain the oil too but im currently lacking a rear wholAs is my zx14rAll the bikes are missing wheelsIts infuriating
>>28933787XB9S, air cooled bike. Came out of the transmission reservoir and the inspection cover gasket was fine so the main one is probably letting water in. Engine oil looked fine.
Used to have a 06 vegas 8ball with a lot of aftermarket parts. Someone tried to murder me on 992020 so I don't ride no more. Nice 3 year run with no car though
I really like my street tribble but it’s so good it’s almost boring and lacks that jap sportsbike sovl. Also fuck not having fairings and the ability to lean off naturally or get weight on the bars during accel. I finally settled on wanting that locked in riding position. Should just get a new nostalgiabait GSXR 750 before ssbeoy
>>28933590Tracer looks amazing, yamaha looks are always on point. Mostly. I love the GX but Tracer is in its own league, triples are sick
>>28933818>yamaha looks are always on pointYeah if you are under 18.

Brothers today is my first new bike day in many many years, and it was also my first weekend officially done law school, as I’ve now officially finished all my exams and courses. Can I can a HYB? Today was a good day. This thing rips. Needs new rear rubber and a chain tensioner but that’s just fun.

>>28933906You probably weren’t born yet, it’s understandable.
>>28933914I'm older than you babyboy, just have proper taste in motorcycles. I looked it up, apparently it is an american trashcan that no proper human would consider riding even for free.
>>28933914pretty ugly desu

>>28933924Exxon mobile bribed Erik Buell to hollow out the swingarm to use as an oil reservoir instead of just putting a normal one on the bike
Cagies are complaining about gas prices again. Will they ever learn?
>>28933906>sportbike with that plastic breakpads cooler.For real? What fucking bike is this?
>>28933949Cfmoto
>>28933950Damn, I thought you meant they were using plastic as a heatsink of sorts, this just looks like an air scoop. Which I am just finding out is a thing on real race bikes but they are much smaller, this just looks tacky.
>>28933339A homestay. They'll get you drunk
>>28932443>has tools, but isn’t mechanically inclined?It'll be hard. But dumber people than you(probably) do it for a living. Also you'll be mechanically inclined afterwards lol. My advice is buy something that runs, and do it in parts if practical. It's easy to lose motivation on project bikes, and it's nice when you know once you get whatever you're doing back together you'll get to ride it. It's a massive amount of work that's hidden under what's not there, as well as what is. Price out everything you'll need. Now double it. That's a realistic cost.You could buy one done, but that's poser shit, can't relate.
>>28933960He neess to tske the dirster pill
I sold my 2012 883 Iron today. 3400 bucks. I hope the guy enjoys it. I hope I did alright. He said he got out of sports bikes cause he almost died. Apparently he shut down either 4 or all 7 lanes (can’t remember) in Atlanta. Crazy stuff.
>Talking to old family friend about upgrading from a dual sport to a more comfortable longer range bike>Mention a t7 because it's kind of the default>He says I should look at the Super Tenere instead>I explain that 1200cc is overkill for the amount of luggage I plan to carry>"You're not going to want that pissant 700. It'll be rough as shit cruising at 100mph"Dude's insurance must be way more chill than mine.
>>28933975T700 has a very narrow seat. If you plan on touring best change the seat
>>28933978Nah I enjoy the seat stuck in my butt crack while the cheeks hanging out from the sides. Very comfortable for 10 hours ride per day.
>>28933914Dude that looks retarded
>>28933970I sold my klr650 today. First gen. I’ll miss that pig.
>>28933230With that much shit stacked on it, being heavier and less agile and slow as fuck, might as well buy a larger CC bike with better everything. This is a tryhard social bike, we all know you're a attention seeking faggot who spends time in hipster cafe and instagram posting/scrolling daily.
>>28933557Is that a duke 125 or 390 ? The kits looks weird as fuck.
>>28933988What a coincidence! I’m sure we’ll find other bikes, friend.
>>28933975Super Tenere is a solid bike if your riding for thousands of miles and will inevitably end up on the interstate. I would take a Super Tenere if I were taking a trip up to dead horse or the north coast of Canada. T7 for everything else. A lot of people still haven't updated their programing on CC's since like 2006.
>>28933978>>28934011I'm more surprised at how many people routinely sit at 100mph for hours at a time and never catch DPS on their ass.
>>28932267what's more disgusting, crossover bikes or crossover cars?
>>28933236Why the hell would you get your first bike from a dealer? There’s like an extra 40% added onto it with bullshit out of door stuff on their end, the bike is clearly already too expensive for you since you want to finance it. And, you being a retard, probably American, means even with a license you ride like shit and will crash your first bike Go on marketplace or something, get a Japanese for 2-5k and ride it until it breaks or you break it. THEN you can waste money on a out-the-dealer brand new overly plastic and electronics deprecating, cheap corners cut piece of shit
I fucking love my gel seat pad. God damn it's so comfy. Ergos feel really good with it too, even being up a little higher.
>post your bike they said>but (((you))) own picrelHow respond?
>>28934082Add more weight to the front and start drifting.

Would you trade a 99 vfr for a 99 fireblade
>>28934115Is it the vtec interceptor? If so then no
>>28934115That's a difficult question, anon.

>>28933230You cub nigs are richer than the GS fags for some reason.
>>28934115Fuck no, especially that gen VFR.
>/dbt/nigs having fun. I'm melting like ice creamNot fair.
>>28934094eBay but yeah basically. You can feel the honey comb moves around a bit and you'll have to get used to that and it will put you up a little higher but it's very comfortable. https://ebay.us/m/lbgHPY
Still love my Honda.Except for its battery, which died on a tour on friday and cost me two days of riding under the best weather conditions possible.FUG
>>28934163Ice cream? God I love ice cream!
>>28934176Stay away from the sugar jew anon.
>>28934172What do you mean died?
>>28934178On the way home I paused for a 20 minute break (pic related) to take a leak. When I decided to continue, the engine didn't start.Dashboard lit up, hazard lights also worked (for a brief time), but instead of going wupwupwupVRROOOMMM it just went wupwupwupclackclack and died.Jump starting didn't work either, so I had to tow it. Tow guy tried jumping it, nothing.It's still the first battery, but the bike isn't even a year old. New battery should do the trick hopefully, will know more next week.
>>28934184>On the way home I paused for a 20 minute break (pic related)not the bee pic obviously, the >>28934172 one duh
>>28934184That's not battery bro. Otherwise you'd jumpstart it easily even with it removed.
>>28934186Oh. What could it be then?Hopefully nothing major, although I assume it would still fall under warranty anyway.
>>28934184It's possible that the battery failed in sch a way that it still passes a small enough current to light the dash, but I'm not convinced.Usually a battery dies in such a way that a huge load (heh) like the starter just blasts the struggling finger connection and shorts it entirely, forever.New bike or not, starting ohming the fuses, then the terminals.
>>28934184Legendary honda "reliability" everyone.A year old battery should not just die like that, even the cheapest walmart battery should last at least a year unless you're shorting it out 24/7
>>28934198Honda manufactures batteries.
>>28933842Is there a difference between 1000 and 1100 models? I suggested my father join me on of my next tour and he wants a DCT for his old hands.
>>28934252beside the obvious bigger motor?TFT screenCruise Controlthe 6-axis IMU traction control thingi think?
>>28934184I've had this experience before. The battery disconnected itself since when I bought it the place didn't have the bolt tight on the terminal.
>>28933988>>28934008What bikes are you guys looking at replacing them with?>>28934082That's rough buddy.>>28934046You okay over there?
>>28933829Pic related but it's missing white wheels and bronze chassis>>28934186>>28934191It could be, if it's too low the relay will buzz and won't jumpstart
>>28934078>all seasons>comfort pad>chink pipeFaggot
>>28934278What's wrong with being comfy?
>>28933582just got my fazer back from getting the tps recall done gonna take it out to the boxing gym monday when its warm since its a bit of a ride. today im taking care of the shot chain and pull the studs out of the tires on the tdub and so that after training its really for da woods
what's the point of the supercharger if there's other naturally aspirated bikes that make more horsepower?
>>28934287Just looks retarded on a gsxr idk
>>28934291Torque, you can just take off in 5th and never shift which is the nu-males ultimate goal.
>>28934078I went to look at a MT-07 and the guy had one of those gel seat covers on it. it looked gay as fuck but the guy swore it let him ride for twice as long before his ass got soredon't think I'd use one 24/7 but I might try one next time I'm doing a longer day
>>28934291I'd be more interested in a Z1000 with a full fat literbike engine. Just whack a ZX-10R engine in there like the M1000R.
>>28934291Cool sounds
>>28934292Comfy > looking cool
>>28932843They are for fatties and people whose wives won't let them ride a real bike. Honestly they're just having a good time I always wave
>>28934302>comfort>gsxrYou are genuinely retard lmao fucking comfort pad
>>28934160i doubt itI mean a cub cost like what? 4k?all those farkles would add up to like 2-3k at mostso even the most gucci cub will cost like 6-7k, sure its kinda expensive when you can buy a brand new NX500 or used T7 at that pricemeanwhile a GS cost 20k and the boxes set alone cost 2k
>>28934309Im not that anon. But ive had gixxers. They're not bad if you have good posture and in decent shape. Ive done mini road trips on my 1k. Not the best, not the worst
>>28934291its coolif I was a rich nepobaby I would own a H2 and park it next to a busa
>>28934298I don't understand how every major Japanese brand has a 200hp-ish engine, yet none make a 200hp adventure/sport tourerYamaha, Kawasaki, Honda could all eat BMW, Aprilia, and Ducati's lunch if they threw their litre engines into a S1000XR or V4S competitoryet they don't
>>28934290>tdubs corrr i dont know why they just look mint
