>>29006250AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>29006250They just seems kinda pointless and lack a real use case to justify existing
>>29006250Pretty cute
>>29006250i like ebikes in concept but so many of them are either these step-"thru" dogshit "cruiser" style bikes and look/ride like absolute shit, or are DUIcycle "minibikes" that just had their lawnmower engine replaced with a chinesium battery mount. the d*tch let alone their bikes were a mistake and pit bikes and their consequences have been an disaster
>>29006258The people crave mopeds
>>29006256>>29006261
>>29006256the same thing can be said about any mode of transportation from a certain point of view
>>29006269What is so unique about an ebike other than the fact that drunks can ride them after they lose their licenses?
>>29006271it's light on gas
>>29006272So is a moped or a scooter and those don't take a few hours to charge
>>29006273They aren't fast enough to keep up with moving streets and aren't visible enough to be safe. A scooter would do all of that better.
>>29006250>top (legal) speed of 25 km/hi don't need more than that thank you
>>29006274>take a few hours to chargeyou gotta sleep at some point so charge your e-bike while you sleep.
>>29006281>203 km/hpretty impressive t.b.h.
>>29006274idk man i just charge mine at work >>29006277my city raised a big stink about ebikes and every karen/tyler is seething about them being in the road, so now people ride underpowered motorcycles (like those little baja bike things) in the bike paths and take shitty ebikes into the middle of the road because the trails are full of karens and tylers and baja bikes that somehow get a pass from karens and tylers. the other day i saw a straight up dirtbike being driven on the sidewalk. a few months back a dude was on one a side-by-side just driving through the park. turns out the motor vehicles act was incredibly poorly written and all of this is legal
>>29006261E-bikes no, but sgooders yes. You can post it, but you won't get tasty (((you)))s.
With sgooders, you can go anywhere.
>>29006273Scoots and Groms are perfect for that. Ebikes are too heavy, they light themselves on fire. They become e-waste in a few years.
>>29006305HYB>>29006307>They become e-waste in a few years.Only the battery does and these batteries can last for 15 years. Have you kept a daily-riden bike for 15 years? (didn't think so)
Is it real 186 hours yet?
>>29006310My first bike is 9 years old I still use it once a week atleast. Its going strong. I'm sure it will run fine for 10 more years without a problem. I checked the valves at 30k km and it wasn't even out of spec. I can still sell the bike for a good price. Would an ebike have held up just as well? I doubt it. Cool scoot btw.
>>29006318With proper maintenance any bike can last a lifetime.
>>29006250
>>29006330Not e-bikes, their batteries degrade.
I haven't been out of the house for a bit since some road-rage psycho in a fat-ass Chevy Express camper van tried to run me over in town. Crazy fucker even followed me into a parking lot. A number of days before that, it also managed to catch an inch long spiral nail in the rear tire, which I had to replace for $230. I decided to treat the bike to a little hill climb, then went and got something to eat. I took some pictures!
>>29006438https://archive.is/XIDKnBetween 1.8 to 2.3% capacity loss per year, based on older battery systems with meh thermal control, for cars that are heavily (300kkm mileage) used.For a motorcycle the loss should be closer to 1% per year simply due to fewer charging cycles, and maybe even better than that due to more modern thermal control and better chemistries.Also, you can replace degraded cells.
just apply for a loan for an used tiger since I'm too poor to caught it up full cash pricefor some reason nobody really buy the 800 anymore
>>29006466I'm not even eligible for the loan here. I need to sold my old one first and save up cash if I want to get something newer/better.
>>29006475Holy ESL, I should wake up before posting!
>>29006248Are dirt bikes "pure"?
>>29006480Absolutely. You don't have to think about gay stuff like traffic rules or the risk of being turned into a red mist by a truck when you're riding offroad.
>>29006248>seat height too tallJust get self adjusting suspension bro
>>29006495
>>29006514yeah and if he was on a blackbusa on highwaythat would just be a stump
>>29006542Highway has less sticks than forest.
>>29006548There are fewer, but one is enough.
>>29006495>being turned into a red mist by a truck when you're riding offroad.>>29006575There are fewer, but one is enough.
>>29006579
>>29006587I was thinking of various 4x4 cagers.
>>29006591They are slow though, especially if you're riding off-road, and not on-rural-road.
>>29006596The fuck they are on solid ground.You can always meet a quad too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYXZAI47LF8Or moose. They're fucking deadly and there are more of them in the forest.
Local suzuki dealership wont let me test ride their busa, feels bad. Store policy they say.
>>29006630yeah for busas they usually have like, "test ride days" where they specifically bring testable models
I need a Pan America like you wouldnt believehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcS61GtqQuM
>>29006630>some scruffy kid rocks up to the dealership on a ratchet 125 and asks if he can test ride a 200hp $20k high speed meme bikeYeah I wouldn't either.
>>29006686>a thirty year old family man who bought his last motorcycle from you 5 years ago and comes to you for all service intervals asks if he can test ride a bike like he's test ridden many others
>>29006690so they won’t let you test ride the busa but they do let you test ride other bikes? sounds like it actually is store policy. that or ask to see a rep who knows you better.
All while Ducati dealearship allowed me to test ride a hypermotard that was already sold.Maybe they would've let me ride a panigale or a multistrada if I asked.
>>29006708>test ride a hypermotard that was already soldDealers are POS everywhere I see. Did you like it? It looks like a super fun bike.
>>29006591Jimny is one of the best 4x4 ever and its cheap as chips.
This thread is too slow, let's kick start this thread bros.
Hello, hello, anyone here?
>>29006681Way better than GSA is a flat lie, but I do think its a good bike.
Traded in my zuki GX for a Tiger 900 GT. Its official wohooo picking it up next week.never betraying the tplane triple again. lesson learned
>>29006711>Did you like it? It looks like a super fun bike.I liked it enough to rent it for a day later at another place, but not enough to buy.It is a fun bike, lightweight and super smooth. It a single, but it's smoother than most twins.Its quickshifter is awesome once you learn to use it properly.For me it had only 2 downsides:- it is loud enough to get tiring after a couple hours;- it refuses to keep stable speed, its fueling works fine whenever you accelerate or decelerate, but try to keep the speed stable and it'll occasionally skip a beat in an annoying manner. Maybe it is fixable, but fuck it.
stupid fat bitch decided to take a napcan't blame 'er, it's been way too hot today
>>29006715You need to post something inflammatory for that.Worked for me yesterday.
>>29006731I can post something like that, except it's not inflammatory but the truth checked by true patriots.No jap bike EVER has been or will ever be as good as an Ural.If there was one at least half as good or beautiful as an Ural, I'd probably own it.
>>29006729Its loud because that is what bike buying nigs want, shit fueling because it needs to pass emissions and you need fat numbers for the spec sheet. Its a shit world we live in. A tune will fix this shit. I do like quiter bikes. But I got a quiter helmet and occasionally wear ear plugs so that's cool.
>>29006742Anon your delusions are showing. Nothing wrong with your urals, if I were a ural retard, I'd swap the front and get good disk brakes. Also, good tyres on that POS. Then you'd atleast be safer on road. Maybe a good rear suspension upgrade if I can find one at a decent price.
Yesterday bros, i tried praticing some clutchups with the crf450rl and broken tendons on the throttle pinkyAnd i absolute failed, hurt myself on the most miniscule rebound into the front suspension, and that smol amoubt of crush potential crippled me in the stunting parking lot for like 10 mins of palm agonyBut im wondering if the g2 dirt throttle tamer+stealthy flywheel might level out some of the difficulties i was experiencingIm wondering if this handicap will be alleviated by these two upgrades or if my early retirement for dirt or even baik in general is scheduled until i can get hand surgeriesWhich im at another, now 3rd doctor within the oblast because 1st was useless 2nd didnt want to take the problem and 3rd times the charmStill have no idea if its grtting surgeries because communism
>>29006731Let's post good looking girls on awful bikes instead today. See if that works.
>>29006747>I'd swap the frontTelescopic fronts in these are pretty good, nothing wrong with them>and get good disk brakes.Aight, I'll give you that one, but the drums in these things are twin leading edge and really damn stout. Well adjusted Ural brakes will stop a loaded Ural surprisingly well.>Also, good tyres on that POS.My tyres are made in 1989 and are still completely fine>Maybe a good rear suspension upgrade if I can find one at a decent price.The rear suspension in these too is really damn stout and it's adjustable to boot.As I I've said, it's perfect.
>>29006749Senpai, just fly out for the surgery, its going to be max like 5k to 10k usd.
>>29006705yes, i think it actually is store policy, i wasn't being sarcastic >>29006711a dealer doing this is so scummy >>29006712Its too bad I missed suzuki's car business in the states, i would love my car AND my bike to be suzuki >>29006725it is though >>29006731We are passed global peak motorcycle. TFR in the third world countries where scooters and motorcycles are most popular is sub replacement almost across the board, and where its not, like in China, wealth has increased quickly enough that cars are beginning to replace bikes just like they did in the west in the interwar period.
>>29006754i meant to say "like in India" but their TFR is also below replacement
>>29006751>My tyres are made in 1989 and are still completely fineIf I knew you IRL, I'd hit you on the head with a pillow until you bought new tyres. Stop being retarded and get new tyres. It is not perfect, nothing ever is.
>>29006756Only Israel isn't and few countries in Africa. Really makes you think.
Okay guys. What is THE BEST chemical for removing old gasket material? I don't care how many cancers it gives me.
>>29006763I think African TFR is highly overstated, but even many countries in Africa are below replacement according to their own numbers, let alone in reality. Its only the very religious - Amish, ultra orthodox jews, certain mormon sects, etc - who are still fecund as groups.
>>29006752Yeah, me and what money?
>>29006760Okay, it's not perfect yet, but damn near close.Once I do the frame swap it's perfect. Need to source a straight wheel and new front forks before I finish the swap.Also finding 3.75x19 tyres is surprisingly difficult, no one here stocks them, it's all some metric tubeless bullshit.
>>29006630they're picky about the Busa when the demo truck comes around too, event descriptions say you need 3+ years for it and the GSXRs though I don't really know how they could prove it
>>29006763>IsraelIsrael is literally only because of the entirely unproductive super orthodox jewish community who literally, as a religious tenet, do no work and breed like rabbits. Like >>29006776 said it's only hardcore fundamentalist religions that are breeding above replacement level. This means the future's gonna be fucking fun.>tfw born too early to witness the mormons vs. muslims holy war.
Dbt is dead, and it wasn't the jews who killed it, It was (you)
>>29006926the op isnt that good theres no soul to it. i cant put my finger on why exactly, its almost as if you asked AI to make the OP based on a lot of example OPs.
>>29006940i do think we should not have the exact same boilerplate op every time. that is soulless. but if the same anon makes the thread every time (and that's what i think is happening) then shit is not going to change. YOU have to be the change you want to see. you make the next one.
Can't wait for another instance of 4 deebeetees created at the same time.
>>29006966ha that was melon tranny bait and you fell for it! not posting my bike
>>29006968i hate to be this way but i wish we could vote people out of the thread
I don't work on my bike, and even if I did, I wouldn't trust my work while riding at 120km/h on the highway, so I usually get a shop to do all the work (outside of basic stuff like oil changes and cleaning/greasing)now that we've got that out of the way:>need new tires (probably in next 2000km)>kinda want a gold chain to match my Tracer 9's gold forksdoes it make sense to get the new chain at the same time as new tires?
>>29006305>Runes>Nice environment. Unspoiled.>Disused railway. Not hastily built in the last five years.Where are you, Japan?
>>29006438>if i pretend like technology stopped improving a decade ago, I can pretend that new-thing is bad!Tesla batteries are looking at 15% degradation after 200,000 miles. When was the last time you took a bike to six digit mileage? You're like my retard father trying to use a 2006 solar farm's efficiency to talk about today's panels.
>>29006330>>29006438even a conventional bike will degrade, despite proper maintenance all the rubbers on your bike will be toast after 10-15 years of sitting out on the sunif you accept that, you can accept that batteries will be replaced in that time frame as well
>>29006969>i wish we could vote people out of the threadI want the exact opposite, I wish I could vote people back into the thread. RIP GN ROP GAYMOO, INDIAN WAS A REAL ONE
>>29006996>all the rubbers on your bike will be toast after 10-15 years of sitting out on the sunNot all, my friendT. Ural cardan shaft rubber joint. These things are literally indestructible.They're made from some sort of soviet hyper rubber that they do not deteriorate with age.The new EU made ones suck shit and do deteriorate in like a year or two.
>>29006976Probably since they have to take the chain off anyways. Or you can get a master link tool, ziptie the two chain ends together, trace it through, snip tie, and reinsert the master link. The hardest part is unraveling the chain.
>be me>live in Toronto>want to do a bike trip but don't know where to gogiven a budget of $2000 all-in and 7 days, what is the most worthwhile bike trip I could do?I've always wanted to ride out in BC, but in my theoretical scenario, $500 of my budget would be going to plane tickets alone. but that being said, there's not many cool places within riding distance of Toronto. I don't really want to spend 3 days riding to the Maritimes (for instance), spend a day in the region, and then riding back, spending basically 6 days on a generic highwaythe other option is riding down south. I'm pretty anti Trump and don't really want to give my shekels to the USA. that being said, is there anywhere worth riding? obviously the west coast would be nice, but that requires flying. is Michigan worthwhile? I can't imagine Ohio or Penn have any good roads
>>29006248I'm moving to a big city and want a smaller baiku to navigate the streets. Would I be dumb to pick a GW250?>24hp>standard riding position>fairing>can keep up with highway>pretty ugly so it won't get stolen>~80 mpgBeen 10 years since I've had a bike, so my knowledge of what's out there ends about there. Another option I've seen is the Enfield Hunter, but idk how the indian bikes are nowadays. I've got no delusions that it will be anything like my old gsxr600, just want something comfortable, cheap, and not boring.
>>29007017if it were me I'd get a supermoto
When does a motor stop being a motor?
was on the cart track again today, again it was a blast2 guys with pocketbikes there too, and 2 guys with supermotos, but all dedicated trackbikes not like mine which is just a 701 for the road.one guy on a 450 husky rode like an absolute fucking pro, and completely tore up his slicks. nearly got rid of my strips at the front too, pic related, but my front suspension is too hard and the front is working a lot on the not so perfect asphalt.anyways, great fun for real, i think the last time i had the same amount of fun was on a track 10 years ago with my superduke.i probably should get a trackbike at some point
>>29007036I wish I could take my race scoot to a cart track. The only ones in my area are indoor e carts. They're still fun, though. I should go back.
>>29007020Not really into dirt bikes and don't think they're good for anything off trail, even if they have street tires added. Shitty seats, dumpy engines, dirt bike service intervals, and nonexistent wind protection are just dowsides with no corresponding benefit. I'm also going to assume the front ends get bad at highway speeds and the suspension sucks for the road like dirt bikes and dualsports.
>>29007031Can this motor make your dick hard? Can it suck, squeeze, bang, blow?
>>29007049
>>29007059Your mom can but your ev gimmick cant.
Please explain.
>>29007110Obly grom is a 'ku
>>29006730Kek
>>29006750The R9 sounds great with an exhaust, why is the bike trash?
>>29007110
>>29007132and what defines an automobile?
>>29007110it has pedals
>>29007135your harley has pedals.
>>29007110This image presents a comparative chart that highlights a specific, humorous rule regarding what vehicles are allowed on 4chan's /o/ (Automotive) imageboard.The Layout and Subjects:The image is structured with three distinct two-wheeled vehicles aligned horizontally at the top, each accompanied by its category name and specific model:Motorbike (Honda Grom): A compact, red and black, gas-powered motorcycle.E-scooter (Benzina Zero V): A modern, red and black electric scooter designed for urban commuting.E-bike (Diablo): A black electric bicycle with fat tires and a motorcycle-like frame styling (labeled with "COOCEZ BIKES" on the battery pack).The Comparison Matrix:Below the vehicle images is a checklist evaluating three specific criteria for each vehicle:2 wheels: All three vehicles receive a checkmark, establishing that they share the same basic physical layout.Has a motor: All three vehicles receive a checkmark, noting that they are all motorized forms of transportation.Allowed on /o/: This is the punchline of the graphic, showing a divide in community acceptance:The Honda Grom (Motorbike) is allowed.The Benzina Zero V (E-scooter) is allowed.The Diablo (E-bike) is explicitly not allowed.Context and Humor:The image is a piece of internet commentary/satire targeting the cultural norms of 4chan's automotive community. On /o/, users frequently debate what constitutes a legitimate "auto" or motorized vehicle worthy of discussion.The graphic highlights the irony that while an electric scooter is deemed acceptable, an "e-bike" designed to mimic the appearance of a motorcycle is completely banned or rejected by the community. It mocks the arbitrary boundaries of forum gatekeeping, where two highly similar electric two-wheelers face completely opposite rules of acceptance.
>>29007138thanx google bot but that's a description and NOT an explanation.
>>29007134They automatically put a smile on your face when the exhoost go ShoomEcuckery cannot even make noise other than exploding battery syndrome
Got the windshield. It's pretty nice to ride with one again. Next is some fiberglass tape for the exhaust.
>>29007158Soon youll be as cool as our jukebox hero in LA
>>29007163One day, perchance
>>29007167I used to be cool too once before
>>29007169Is that you? Did you stop being a skeleton? Is that why you don't think you're cool anymore?
>>29007172BBBBBBBBBB-BADBAD TO THE BOME
>>29007017That looks like the ultimate cheapo commuter.Hunters are not to bad, single cylinder vibes will drive you mad after a bit even though they are as smooth as old twin now days.
Any pure anons itt? I'm ready to discuss scooters and scooter accessories.
>>29007186I have one cylinder and two and half brains cells do I count?
>>29007186one of my family members has a ruckus that i sometimes ride around on log trails :)
>>29007188>do I count?Yes!>>29007193Wow based
>>29006780You sold your zx14r and now sell your crf450, you should have enough money between both bikes. Pinky is very important senpai. Also you are super rich canadian kun, just do it, don't rely on your stupid government.
>>29007186I am a pure anon who has never been tainted by a woman. However, I ride a motorcycle, not a scooter, so I do not have much to discuss with you
>>29006785Front end swap would get you normal wheels, disc brakes and modern suspension. But, IDK if that is even a good idea, can the frame snap if you brake hard hard?
>>29006996Cost of replacing rubber gaskets and consumable is not the same as replacing batteries. Why is it sitting in the sun? What are you poor? Will e-bikes not degrade if left to rot for 15 years in the sun?
>>29007130Cracked frames yamahaha special. Not even chink junk does that. nu-Yamaha is a disgrace to their former self and the nihon name.
>>29007186I have a scoot, I just ride it around town, for trips I take my bikes. Also, zero accessories on it. I got new michelin rear tyres for the scoot though. What scoot do you have?
>>29007186>>29007270Hotwheels Motocompo
I've been riding for like 14 years and the traffic has become so noticeably dangerous over that time I'm kinda tempted to just give it up at this point.
>>29007291You could start riding offroad. Get a T7.
Any sport bike enthusiasts itt rn?
Okay fuck it, im selling my R7 for a Tuono 660, I like the ptwin when its not trying to be a race bike.
>>29007260>he actually thinks im this rich and successful>inside the gulagI uhMy bike needs to ride me while i sleep now guy>if only you knew how bad things really shoom
>>29007336Stop pretending to be poor senpai.
>>29007330Yes, I love sport bikes.
>>29007263It's not a yamaha, the frame is made from thick as hell steel tubing, they're strong as hell.You can fit normal wheels on the axles if you wish and disk brake conversions aren't any more difficult than just fitting the brake calipers on to a bracket.
>>29007158i wonder if buying naked or retro naked and plop windshield and topbox is as good as getting actual ADV/touring bikes?naked are much cheaper than adv
>>29007110behold, peak /o/ material
>>29007017>cityI would say just grab maxiburgman xmax forza adv your pickedif you feeling brave then chinks one like Zontesnot having to worry about niggers stealing or shit in your helmet is nice
>>29007270>suzuki choinorithat's a turret
>>29006444I don't wanna blogpost but I'll drop a couple. This is the lot at the actual peak.
>>29007374Last one. I went to see if a deli I like was open, and found a neat Rebel friend. I'm not sure, but I think his headlight (or at least the lens/housing) might be aftermarket? I could be wrong though, it was a nice bike. I think they were a chemistry student or something because they had a pair of goggles strapped around the headlight with skeletal formulas and compounds written all over the lenses in sharpie.
>>29007350That looks awful. Just do a full swap with a RE classic 350. It's the same 19 incher and you just need to machine some stuff to fit the front end to the frame.
>>29007382Doesn't matter what it looks like if it works.I'm not one for disk brakes anyway because the cop drums in Urals are completely fine for stopping the rig, they're even better for solo use.
>>29007391>drums in Urals are completely fineWell, you are a retard.
>>29007392Perhaps, but that's only because at some point I thought Japanese bikes were good.There's nothing wrong with drums, they don't magically go bad after disk brakes became more common.
>>29007343this is r15 a cool good looking 18bhp high revving 155cc sportsbike
>>29007392Aww, does baby need tik tok rider aids to stop him from dying.
>>29007392Should be fine slowing down from a blistering vmax of 35mph
>>29007410Bruh, my 125 scoot goes 95kph and crosses 100kph in a downhill. I wish there were sintered pads for this lil scoot. Because the braking feels inadequate when there is someone sitting on the back. This one is heavier, higher displacement, I'm sure it does 80kph at the least and it needs disks.
>>29007409tard kun, disk brakes are not rider aids. ABS or TC is.
>>29007415Just because it's heavier doesn't necessitate disks.Heavy equipment uses drum brakes too, the semi trailer hauling 50 tons of chinese scooters stops with drum brakes too.
>>29007419Ok, I did not know that. I thought they had air brakes which was completely different, but now I know they use drums too. Thanks.
>>29007418I'm saying drums work fine because the ural doesn't go fast enough for it to matter, and the brakes are the one thing that doesn't explode on the hellcycle.
>>29007423They use drum brakes that are operated by air due to hydraulic fluids boiling over in drum applications quite easily, not like they don't do that in disk systems too.Also makes coupling trailers easier because you just plug a hose in, no need to bleed the system like with hydraulics which takes a lot of time.
>>29007426Pretty cool tech.
>>29006248>>Bakuon!>https://www.miruro.tv/watch/21197/bakuon?ep=1Is there a dubbed version of this anywhere? I am trying to push it onto my retarded colleague but he claims not to be able to read subtitles sue to being autistic or spastic or some other concoted excuse. He always wears an anime shirt to work whenever he can (I strongly suspect these sizes start at 3XL) but has no knowledge of Bakuon and claims not to have heard of it.
>>29007011How about New York State, Ariondacks and Vermont/New Hampshire White Mountains?

>>29007435I don't think there is a dub for bakuon.
Will forced induction bikes become mainstream by the time gas engines will be banned in most countries?
>>29007456i hope the politicians who ban gas powered cars die soon and painfully
I have an all black bike. I've been thinking about getting some kind of wrap or vinyl on it. Just something small for slightly better visibility. Like a different colored pin stripe maybe?Anyone else do something similar? Good idea, or waste of time?
>>29007435Don't try to push an anime on someone else. Honestly if I didn't care about bikes then Bakuon wouldn't be worth watching.

>>29007438i dont think all e-bike should be ban herebut you were just shitposting with electric moped im sure nobody care when you post some 100HP honda electric bike
KTM is gonna sell so many of these fuckin things huh
got flat tyre todayand its a rear tyreI really cant be bother to take it out I think i will just haul the entire bike on my pick up truck
>>29007454fuck off faggot this is a motorcycle thread
>>29007493IDK anon, is it better than T7? Are they going to price it competitively? Also are they going to be reliable? I hope Bajaj improves reliability. I'm looking forward to Norton Atlas.
>>29007330He is a smol guy. Hope you like him.
>>29007540>IDK anon, is it better than T7?well, it has a different purpose.the T7 is middle ground between a GS and a 690 enduro.the 690 is far more lightweight, far better in rough terrain. just no comparison, really.two different bikes for different types of riding.
>>29007542None of us are skilled like you, and people are going to cross shop. Choccy cams vs Yamaha reliability. I hope they do well.
>>29006977Not my pic.
>>29007543>None of us are skilled like youwhatim shit, dude, but a 690 is a lot easier to maneuver in rough terrain than a, by comparison pigfat, T7thats just what it is
Wakey wakey, its Friday, you know what that means?
>>29006730Not comfy, wake'er up.
>>29007540>Norton>reliable
>>29006598it's dangerous outside :(that's why I never leave the house and get mom to bring me tendies to my room :D
>>29007574Your knee-jerking is misplaced. The other anon just argued that highway is more dangerous than innawoods. It ain't.
Test ride report: took an electric Harley for 3 hours, rode mostly on 60 and 80 roads. Kids wave at me, dog walkers smile to me, other bikers at stoplights nod in approval, the battery still shows 50% charge.I’ll keep shilling these bikes to everyone except the poor souls who have to endure long highway commutes.
>>29007568I think it is this time. Its made in the same factory as BMW, they are like Indian cousin on Suzuki. They are going to be quite reliable. I've heard from the internal engineers about how bad Norton was, he said they fixed it all. I'm betting on Norton, they will produce super reliable bikes.
>>29007581>Harley
>>29007584LiveWire obviously
>>29007493i don't know, man. It'll probably be between 11-12k, which is a bit steep for a dirt bike. I certainly will lust after it from afar though.
>>29007586https://youtu.be/AB3MFDdiuooI'd get one for $700. My scooter with 12" wheels is getting old, you see.
>>29007581Lol, imagine picking an e-bike over GS or AT.
>>29007607Or a jap bike over Ural.Couldn't be me.
>>29007608>>29007586>>29007581Are you here just to shill shit? Nobody is buying Ural or H*rley off 4chan recs lmao.
>>29007493>Copy and past every model 6 times with different trims.>So much unsold inventory they had to declare bankruptcy and sell half the company to China.>Guy's just one more model trim and it will work.>Meanwhile everyone makes fun of Yamaha for cutting down their lineup of models that stopped being profitable.So KTM hasn't learned?
>>29007609>Are you here just to shillYes>Nobody is buying UralGood, more for me.
>>29007581>Kids wave at me, dog walkers smile to me, other bikers at stoplights nod in approval, the battery still shows 50% charge.>>29007614You were shitting on ICE having a good rev sound that kids love just yesterday. What happened?
>>29007609No, I’m here to share my impressions and shitpost.
>>29007616No, I wasn't. You're mixing me with some other guy. I was probably shitting on jap bikes yesterday, or was it the other day?
>>29007623>shitting on jap bikesZigga, tell me what brakes and carbs production Urals used before sanctions.
>>29007609>Are you here just to shill shit?Uhhhh...yea. What else are you supposed to do here?
>>29007609Its fun we love the Ural kun and fingolians. They are cool.
>>29007635Suzuki is the best brand BTW. Buy Suzukis.
>>29007184Honestly, I'm mostly attracted to the hunter because you can get belt conversions on them and I hate chain maintenance. And there's still new 2024 models around here that dealers are desperate to get rid of. >>29007363I may be pretty gay, but idk if I'm gay enough for a maxi.But really, as much as I want to like the practicality of a scooter, the big ones just look so intentionally ugly. The smaller ones that don't look so bad aren't able to do highways.
>>29007638>
>>29007638Is this the only bike anime, or are the other ones just not full of highschool girls for you to goon over?
>>29007638>Buy Suzukis.This is one of the few models available to me new under 10k euros.Not only it has throttle by wire and TFT display, which I hate, it also has 2 cylinders.I'm afraid it's going to vibrate my body numb.
>>29007493Dunno, they'll probably find a way to fuck it up. Everyone was hyped about the new 390 Adventure, but when it actually came out reciews were very mixed.
>>29007641RE Classic 350 is a much better bike though.
>>29007624>what brakesDrums and shoes>and carbs productionPekar>B-BUT MUH KEIHIN MUH MIKUNI MUH BREMBO MUH PAIOLIdecadent, inferior western shit. The sanctions would've been a good thing for Ural, if they affected them.
>>29007651You could buy a GSXR 600 or a GSXR 750. BTW, what kind of weak wristed faggot are you? Faggots are riding around in singles and you can't take a 270 deg ptwin? WTF happened to men?
>>29007644No ural anime, so buy Suzuki.
what are the /n/iggers up to this time?>>2075117oh
>>29007701It didn't work. >>>/n/2073728they think the niken is AI LMAO
>>29007648There is Super Cub again high school girls. You are not allowed to goon to these girls because they are cute.
does anyone have that pic of the sportbike in the garbage bin at a racetrack?
chink mount is a banger.'fanue' brand
>Life of a Suzuki riderYou own a Suzuki, right anon?
How is Suzuki's reliability comparing to other japanese brands
>>29007698>You could buy a GSXR 600 or a GSXR 750I could if I could. GSX-8R is the only model available here that's not ADV or supersport.>you can't take a 270 deg ptwinCome back to talk smack when you yourself are 3 decades old. I love my wrists and prefer them not hurting.>>29007696So you lie and deny, truly a zigger.
>>29007720I own a Honda and a Yamaha.
>>29007720Suzuki is the only big 4 I've never owned. Not really by preference, just the other 3 were more available and cheaper.
>>29007728Lie how exactly? There's zero nipshit in my Soviet built Ural and for the longest time they used their own shit, only since the 00s did they start using Mikuni carbs before going with Keihin CVKs and finally with EFI.They used some Paioli shocks at some point, but I believe those are in-house made now too.>truly a ziggerWatch this, now I am a hohol
>>29007743>Soviet>GoodMy buddy owns soviet Izh. It's a piece of shit like everything soviet.>are in-house made now tooThe only thing that was in-house in Ural circa 2022 is the frame, retard.
>>29007745I own an Izh too, multiple. They're good bikes.So where are the engines made then for example?
>>29006281is there any playthrough more fun than urban black?
>>29007747>They're good bikes.They're good expo pieces until you try to ride it.>So where are the engines made then for example?China parts kit, Zongshen.
REMEMBER ABY AlwaysBuy Yamaha
>>29007755My previous Yamaha was great. Bought same year different color, disappointing. If valve sync doesn't fix her - she's going on the market.
>>29007755why
>>29007764Transsexual pedo motto idk
>>29006976Chain is bog simple and it's hard to fuck up, I believe in you anon.You should probably get someone to do your tires.Did the tires on my klr and went through a tube and never bothered to balance them so it's got a mean wobble around 70mph
>>29007750At least say Chang Jiang you lying kraut. Also I've rode my Izh up and down Finland and been to Estonia with it, got maybe 50k km on it with no issues whatsoever.Actually I need to get a new rear tyre and realign it along with new brake bands.They're good bikes, albwit maybe a tad too small for me for longer distance cruising, that's why I got the Urals.
>>29007782>At least say Chang JiangSorry I'm not a sommelier of chinese shit.>I've rode my IzhComplete bullshit. Nobody rides it. Replacing all gaskets and loctiting every bolt is not nearly enough to make that soviet POS road-worthy.
>>29007786Just to for you, I'll take it out today after work and post pics of it at the beach.Give me 3 hours till I'm off work and fed the cats
>>29007799>A finn>fan of soviet techYou're imported. Do post though I kinda want to see Finland roads.
>>29006248what are you guys doing tomorrow?
>>29007818Hopefully cranking my hog until I find a new fishing spot and getting some trout. Ain't no two hobbies that love each other more than bikin and fishin.That was the plan today but I was invited to a beach party so I guess I'll drench some pussies with my bike today. Still smells like fish LMAO
>>29007818I couldn't wake up early enough to ride my bike to snorkel beach today, so I got shitfaced and probably recovering from hangover tomorrow. Maybe a walk in the park and playing some /v/.
>>29007802Can't be imported, I'm white.Soviet cars and bikes have a cult status here. After the war we had basically no cars or motorcycles available for the public, Finland barely had any roads in the 50s. The Soviets had motor vehicles, so the Finns bought those en masse.It wasn't till the 70s when western and jap cars started becoming mainstream here, but even then Soviet cars were very common due to their affordability.Also because they're superior to anything else ever made.
>>29007828>Also because they're superior to anything else ever made.This is bait. All of the soviet shit is bad copies of western tech like Fiat and BMW.
>>29007829Aight, what's my GAZ-24 Volga a copy of? (There's one partially correct answer I will accept)The IMZ M72 is a license made variant of the BMW R71 and some parts of them are cross compatible, but from the K750 onwards they're their own thing really.OHV Urals and Dneprs are also completely unrelated aside for being shaft drive boxer twins.
>>29007832>GAZ-241. they rot like crazy, none remain today, not even the successors (outside of sanctioned Cuba)2. GAZ plant is dead for a reasonas soon as cheap western import cars came in, GAZ was unnecessary for taxi parks and was replaced, only them relegated to producing Gazel mid loggie commercial vehicles, and then still died soon after.Soviet shit is only "good" in a vacuum of absence of international manufacturers import, in which case it dies due to no competing ability.>they're their own thing really.And that's a bad thing.
>>29007361Get a bike that does what you want. I enjoy rough rides so this thing is perfect for me. This isn't dressed up this way for ADV shit. It's dressed this way because I don't own a car. I do take long trips though.
How much seafoam should I add to my 2002 yz250 2 stroke?Idk if it'll help but it basically bogs down when I twist the throttle all the way.
>>29007840So just like the W115 and W123 mercedes
>>29007857Except W124 came after and GAZ shut down due to free market economy.
>>29007858I was referring to the rust situation. I've owned my fair share of Benz's
>>29007865>let's conveniently ignore Benz being popular internationally while GAZ being fucking DEADK
>>29007853clean your carb dummy
>>29007867Should be the other way around. Modern benz is a disgrace
>>29007764Because of Kando.
>>29007870>Should be the other way aroundCommon commie take, but free market has spoken: GAZ was SHIT.
>>29007869when you do a carb rebuild, is it just smarter to go ahead and buy new seals and stuff?I'm probably gonna try seafoam first.
>>29007832>what's my GAZ-24 Volga a copy of?Valiant Falcon LeSabre Hardtop Coupe, duh!
>>29007873Idk where you get the idea that I'm a commie, but whatever. I'll call you a germoid in turn then, which is worse than being a commie honestly.GAZ is superior, people weren't ready for such finely crafted automobiles, the western population was afraid of their superiority so the jews killed GAZ to retain their shares and stocks.>>29007886The OHV ZMZ-24D engine in them actually has roots with the Ford AA truck, albeit there's nothing common with the AA engine and the ZMZ-24D by this point.Henry Ford personally travelled to Russia to set up the what became GAZ factory, initially building licensed Ford AA trucks and Model As.
>>29007893>GAZ is superior, people weren't ready for such finely crafted automobiles
>>29007695It's the same bike with more rake, mid controls, and 19" wheels instead of 17s. I'll take the hunter.
Could someone who knows a little about 2 strokes tell me what’s going on here? I put 8oz of seafoam in it, and I think it helped a little but not much. Idles and throttle response is just fine, but it doesnt pick the front wheel up and as you can hear in the higher rpm’s it kinda wants to bog down. Unless the previous owner was lying, it only has like 4 hours on the top end. Is it just a simple carb clean?https://litter.catbox.moe/usm8jo3hm4hiq2r6.mov
>>29007946Give it choke when it bogs. If it helps, too lean, bigger main jet.Spray some brake cleaner around the flange at idle, it'll die if you have a vacuum leak
The actual question about motorbikes >>29007722 being ignored while you keep feeding that russian swine, thanks for help I guess
>>29007722I told you I never owned a Suzuki. I liked their 125 compared to others on my training course though.
>>29007722I’ve never had a Suzuki, but I know with their dirt bikes, they’re like the only company that still puts a kick starter on their 450’s. They still make the DR650 and it’s essentially been unchanged for like the past 30 years or whatever.So for me, I take that as they have a business model that says->Dont fix what works, and we don’t care what other companies think and are doingSo I can get behind that. I assure you unless I get a Ural, my next bike WILL be a Suzuki.
>>29007882Yeah I'd spring for gaskets at least but you can usually get away with not, and desu I'd probably see if seafoam does it first like you lol. I'm more on the ball with this stuff now, but I remember not being so.
>Swap out the truck tires for big block knobbies on the trail bike>Front tracks a lot better on muddy dirt roads here>Now the front is twitchy as hell leaned over past 70mphJust once, I want a free lunch. Not everytime, not sometimes, but just once.
>>29007871what's Kando?
>>29007786https://files.catbox.moe/t7eae6.mp4I'm going to ride it now.
>>29007964>I'd probably see if seafoam does it first like you lollol yeah, I’m kinda scared I’ll mess something up. I gotta get the fork seals fixed anyway, so I may just ask whoever I take it to to get that done to look at it.Part of me wants to text the guy that sold it to me and told me “nothing at all is wrong with it”, but I don’t think it’s worth doing that.Also, video’s up here. >>29007946
>>29007722Totem pole of jap brands by reliability #1 Honda #2 Suzuki/Kawasaki (tied, some years better than others) Suzuki has the pro/con of never changing shit for over a decade. Meaning, you trade innovation for consistency. Parts on a 10 year old gsxr will work in a newer one. They're walmart. Kawasaki has had good manufacturing until recently with their 600s. I personally think kawasaki made some of the best carburated sport bikes but since the efi switch, has been playing catchup outside of their halo models such as zx10 / h2 #4 Yamaha they had the most recalls of all jap brands and in fact they have the title of most recall campaigns issued in motorcycle history. The only reason people shill this brand is because of the R1.
>>29007169Mr cool ice?
>>29007969thx
Can someone tell me what Kando is?
>>29007638>Suzuki is the best brand BTW. Buy Suzukis.Thanks, i know and i will.>>29007712Based>>29007946Really cute post, someone help him!
>>29007962>>29007971Thanks anons, sems like Suzuki should be a safe choice no matter what. Plus they have some cool bike models like busa, v-twin models ang gixxers. I will probably buy a boring Vstrom
>>29007988>VstromWhen I sat on it, it was too fucking long. Ended up getting Versys 650 instead
>>29007978Works fine on my pc
>>29007989Wait why does a length matter in this case? Or you meant height?
>>29007994Length is intimidating if you're also going to use it in the city, it translates to turn radius.
>>29007998How do they manage to make a motorcycle that is 11cm shorter, 7cm slimmer, with engine that has one less engine block, with smaller wheel 17in vs 19in, with smaller fork and shorter rear shock, but weigh the same?
>>29008002bruh it's just ER6 with more suspension travel
>>29007802And here's the Jupiter at the beach.Got pulled over once, hit a speed camera and got a cheeseburger on the way here.I forgot how damn fast this thing is compared to the Ural, it's like a missile headed for a korean civilian airliner.
>>29008004well I'll give you props for Karelian lake' beachsoviet motorcycles are still POS
>>29008005That's the gulf of bothnia, Karjala is east Finland, this is west Finland.Also 6 bucks for a fucking triple cheeseburger, they used to be 3 bucks.
>>29008007>That's the gulf of bothnia, Karjala is east Finland, this is west Finland.I don't discriminate.
>>29008010Karjala is full of Russians, west is full of swedes.You should discriminate.
>>29008014I'm Russian. Fairly certain Kajala Russians were going to kill and eat me if I stayed 10 more minutes. The Ritual told me Swedes aren't any difrerent.
>>29007641I got a meteor 350, not planning on doing a belt conversion since I take it camping. If you want something with a belt as standred at the low end Cfmoto does a 250 cruiser.You might fall in love with the Hunter and might spend more money upgrading and adding stuff to it.One thing with the Hunter is you see in the picture how near her heel there is a small dent in the exhaust that is get some extra room so your heel isn't on the exhaust. Take it for a test ride and see where you feet sit on the pegs.
Why some bikes have those piss bottles on the handlebar while others don't?
>>29008029some have front brake liquid expansion reservoir on handlebar, some don'tmine have it in black aluminum boxpiss bottle is on the rear brakeI'd prefer they didn't put front brake master cylinder on the handlebar altogether
>>29008033I know that that is, but asked why..
>>29008029Ease of access or the designer has OCD
>>29008036I guess between the need to have lever on right handlebar, obviously, and brake calipers down on the front disks, there is no better place to put reservoir on? I don't understand or condone plastic piss bottles though. All bikes I had had enclosed aluminum box. I guess "why" is cutting costs?
>people actually think im richfagWeird
>>29008066I still blame myself for not farming bitcoin in 2006 even though I had 4870 and recently, not buying Trump even though I knew POTUS crypto scam was coming. In 2006 I even entered the pool, but couldn't figure out how to mine and went to masturbate and play TF2 for the entire night instead.
>>29008068even if you had some you would've prolly sold it when it reached 1000$ profit. Noone would hold it until it reached 100k$
>>29008071I'd like to believe I would hold some until $18K at least.
>>29008071This, I mined doge, ltc, and eth very early, I could've been retired by now but I sold way too early... way way too early. In some ways it bothers me deep down harder than if I'd never have mined at all
>>29008077Musk' Doge tweet bought me a bike, so I can't complain.
>>29008077timing the market just right is literally impossible without a time machine. I'm mad that I sold some CS skins but whatever.

>>29006318NTA but I have a 42 year old Honda scooter as a supplement to my main motorcycle (scoot is much better for errands/quick trip downtown) I'd be extremly suprised if any of the chinese ebikes today will last for half of that.
>>29008106 meant for>>29006310
>>29008029All of my bikes have these and I've never seen a bike with hydraulic brakes that didn't have one. My Honda only has one for the front brake because the rear is a cable drum. I guess it's placed high because gravity.

Is it true you can't change oil in Kawasaki Ninja 7 Hybrid because it needs flashing memory with kawasaki shop tool after it?
>>29008137ngl I used to ride my 12" wheels electric scooter drunk, but then its steering bearing got wrecked and I can't find wrench to open it so I was abstaining from that
>>29008140I ride better when I'm drunk because I'm brave enough to lean more and brake later.
>>29008145every drunk thinks that that's why dui are a thing
maybe new baker can title the thread as such:>/dbt/ - drunk bikers thread
>>29008149can you get a dui on a ebike? asking for a frie/n/d.
>>29008151You can if you ride on the road, which I do.
>>29008139
>>29008029Easier to put the fluid reservoir right next to the piston, think about how cars do this too
