I only know BMW from Germany. Italy has like 270 bike manufacturers. Why are there not more in Germany? And for other EU countries for that matter. It's just 482 different Italian brands. Where is a Renault motorcycle? A škoda?
>>29025616It looks good, but I'm concerned about the lack of air defense. And what close range weaponry is available?
>>29025639MZ was East Germany but they were all shit and they went bust, think they made it to 2008. France has Voxan and they just make slow expensive boutique shit.
>>29025639Bultaco was Spanish
>>29025639Lmao what? Spanish dirt bikes are literally best in the world.
>>29025650That's cool. I thought they didn't make bikes anymore.
>>29025650Don't forget Derbi, Rieju, Gasgas and Ossa.
>>29025639KTM, GasGas, Husqvarna, PeugeoThere were hundreds more, that didn't survive.
>>29025658First time I hear about Peugeot bikes. I know KTM and Husqvarna, but I thought they were Indian, just the names are legacy EU brands.
Reached 127kmh in Eco mode with throttle wide open. Got to 10% after 50km. Which just confirms the obvious: CE04 is not made for highways.>>29025639Automakers killed German motorcycle brands.E.g. VW bought NSU and then decided that motorcycles don't contribute enough to the bottom line.But ackshually there are other manufacturers in Germany, like Krämer if you want a boutique bike, or Black Tea if you want an e-scrambler.And other countries have their brands. Rieju is alive in Spain, Jawa is somewhat alive in Czechindia. Also take a look at blata.cz, they are cute.
>>29025649I was so close on buyibg one of these, the whole premise is ridiculous.It's a 1000cc parallel twin
Got my hotel for daytona biketoberfest. Now to plan my route down. Huzzah!!!
>>29025673>gaytonaahahhahaha
I'm in Baden Baden! Heading to Austria tomorrow.
>>29025681Road trips are fun :)

>>29025688I hope you go through one of these: Achenpass, Oberjochpass, RiedbergpassAlso check out the German Alpenstraße while you are at it https://www.deutsche-alpenstrasse.de/en/home And I hope you didn't forget your Vignette.
>>29025639Peugeot makes bikes, mostly scooters. Portugal has AJP which makes road legal rally bikes.
>>29025698a veritable stinker and clunker
>>29025639There's Husqvarna that manufacturers the best offroad oriented adventure bike full stop. 700cc engine, ground clearance of a monster truck, amazing suspension with huge travels, 15000km oil change intervals, 155kg wet like a Honda 300 CRF or similar lmao, add an official fuel tank kit for 25L of fuel for 10kg of extra weight. There's simply nothing similar.
>>29025701Thanks I'll check it out. I got my vignette don't worry bro! I let gemini plan the trip for me....

>>29025747>700cc>155kg wetwhere's the catch? is it all cheap plastic?I like Husqvarna, considering buying a 401, but the Indian build quality and KTM unreliability turn me off.
Do motorcycle gangs not exist anymore?I don't mean rich kids on sportbikes or fat and old mexican outlaws on Harleys, I mean something in-between, like poor fucks with their own colors who don't sell crack but can still beat up a cager or vandalize some community property
>>29025770I don't know which bike he's referring to because the closest I can guess is the 701 enduro, but that's more like 150kg dry.
>>29025747What bike is that? My local dealer doesn't have anything 700cc at all from them. Is it discontinued?
>>29025775No because most people realised it's just gay as fuck and usually just a bunch of people larping and looking like faggots, that's why everybody laughs at Harley riders that think they own the road.
>>29025777Husqvarna 701 obviously
>>29025775>A criminal that doesn't get paidYeah we call those punks they're a dime a dozen fuckwads with huge egos.
>>29025770>where's the catch?it's a Husqvarna
>>29025779That's not an adventure bike, that's a full on off road bike.
>>29025782What makes it different to Tenere or Tuareg for example?
>>29025781The brand is not cool or what do you mean?
>>29025780In Bakuon Rettou the main character actually wonders if being in a gang can be a job. And his sempai answers: "No, what are you stupid? That would be too much fun"
>>29025785not cool and not common enough to be reliable, even tho it looks fucking awesome ngl
>>29025786"The life is not a job, but it sure do pay"-Real 1
owned 10+ motorcycles, nothing even comes close to this. Triumph-sama, I kneel
>>29025787I have a dealership in my city, how fucked am I still?
>The "Software" Paywall: Husqvarna locks its best electronics behind software upgrades. If you want the full custom "Dynamic Mode" (lean-sensitive features, adjustable throttle maps, anti-wheelie) and the bi-directional quickshifter activated, you have to pay an extra $700 to $800the fuck?
>>29025796Adv bike master race
>>29025798idk, it seems like the 701 was discontinued and I'd rather get an xsr900 over the 801
I wish the real MT10 had the R1 tail from factory.
>>29025804understandable
I've seen you argue about it in previous threads, but didn't see an answer. Why does a manufacturer take a sport bike engine and puts it on steel frame to create a naked version of that sport bike instead of just stripping the sportbike and keeping the frame material?
>>29025662Cute koguma post!!
>>29025804I wish Yamaha wouldn't discontinue their best bikes like the R1, R6, XJR1300, Vmax, MT01 and replace them with dogshit piss twin jeet fodder.
>>29025808Steel frames make bikes more comfortable
>>29025819What how?
>>29025820Steel dampens vibration so you ultimately feel less of it.
>>29025616>am a poor nobike>local market is barren of cheap bikes unless I want a mid-2000s japanese cruiser (I don't) or a dirtbike (I don't)The only two bikes worth a damn (and are cheap) I could find are a 1st gen Versys 650 (30k miles) and CB300F (9k miles). Between the two, which should I buy? I know the Honda is a better beginner bike, but I'd like to be able to use the interstate and not get flattened. Is the Kawasaki being top heavy and tall going to be shitty as a total newb? If none of these work out I'm probably going to end up with a 19 horsepower Enfield. I'd ask my friend that rides, but he just tells me to finance a new CBR500 or Z650, which sounds retarded. Pls help.
>>29025801Based. I have a demo day booked with the tuareg next month
>>29025796Lol I hate looking at triumphs, absolute soulless jeet/chink brand
>>29025831I've only had it since last Saturday and I'm absolutely loving it, I used to have a Tuono 1100RR and you can feel the similarities in the engine with this. Induction noise is insane.Also prepare yourself to have VERY hot legs, like holy fuck I swear they hid a microwave emmitter under the seat or something.
>>29025826shit vs poop. Get your money up chud
>>29025823As far as I can see the damping of both materials are very similar, mostly depend on the geometry and steel has a bit higher damping ratio. So it still does not make sense.
>>29025837It's probably a cost thing. Aprilia keep the aluminium frame for the Tuono and Yamaha appear to keep it for the MT-10.They probably go to steel on the middleweight stuff to keep the price down because people want other shit like fancy LCD dashes, phone connectivity etc and it all costs money, so they have to cut costs where they can, plus on the road your average rider won't notice the benefit of an aluminium frame.
"Aluminum is much stiffer than a steel" is a common normie myth. There's a reason the highest dropout rates are usually among mechanical and structural engineering students because the major looks easy but turns out completely unintuitive.Young's modulus for steel: 210GPaYoung's modulus for aluminum: 70GPaSteel is tree times stiffer than aluminum. Manufacturers can make aluminum frames stiffer by pouring more material into the molds, but it has nothing to do with material properties. Live with it now.
>>29025849Not to get too into the weeds here but aluminum can be stiffened by forging processes and folding it/pressing it onto itself.Idk why anyone would think alu is stiffer than steel, the reason bikes rock alu is because of weight savings primarily. Not stiffness. Too stiff is actually a bad thing for sports bikes. For example that's one of the reasons why honda went from the RC45 to the RC51 because it was TOO stiff for non-smooth jap tracks. You had to fight to turn it in due to stiffness
>>29025826I had a CBR300R as my first bike, it wasn't too bad on the highway as long as you don't care about doing much more than 70mph, that's when you start losing steam a little. Very lightweight and easy to learn on, I had no issues at all with mine and 9000miles at that age should be fine.The age of that 1st gen Versys makes you pretty at the mercy of the previous owners as to what you'll end up with. If it was one owner who gave a shit you'd be fine, but if it was 5 different people who deferred maintenance then you might be in trouble. This would be a heavier bike with a higher center of gravity which can mess with you a little if you're still learning low speed maneuvering. I had a 1st gen Vstrom 650 which is pretty comparable, but yeah you'll definitely feel that extra 100lbs

Do you know the best chargeable cellphone mount for the R1? My old set up doesn't fit the bars and I need my navi during my adventure rides. Also, since I'm buying new set up, does anyone know if there is such a mount for a front face dash cam/gopro WITH the cellphone holder/charger? That way I can record my speed and have gps up while riding for those sudden "we had a report this bike was stolen" moments.

I don't know about Triumph. I'm nobike making my license rn and visiting dealerships, the triumph bikes looked the saddest out of all I was sitting on. Even cfmoto looked more interesting. Maybe it's all about riding which makes them amazing?
>>29025893The problem with triumph is it hasn't fully committed to being a chink/jeet bike. So you have english execs scraping their salaries off the top which are massive relative to the average chink/jeet ceo. Now add in the great cheapening they commit to when they go to SEA for manufacturing and you get a bottom tier bike with 0qc and a premium price tag. Now I'm not even gonna add in the curveball nationalism plays, imagine this, your people are building some "British bike" and nobody takes your country seriously when it comes to building bikes. you could build it even worse to ruin the english companies rep and build your cf motos up to a higher degree to mog the "English bikes". You can't lose.

>>29025919>dirt only2 stroke, the narrow power band gives you a sudden surge of power, this feels wild and adds to the fun + more power for the same displacement.>not only dirt4 stroke obviously, it's just more convenient

I took a hiatus from riding while I was in flight school because I couldn't afford the med down time if I got hurt. Now that I'm almost done, I've been looking at bikes again, but I got rear ended at a red light by some white trash single mother last week. It was just a fender bender, but that could've paralyzed me if I were on a bike instead. How do you square away the fact that some random idiot could kill or permanently disable you? Why isn't lane splitting allowed on a national level in America? Why must Americans be so retarded in traffic? I learned how to ride in Japan.

what's the most reliable do-it-all bike with a fun engine that makes ~170hp?really debating buying a KTM 1290 but KTM's reliability scares me
>>29026008>Demanding 170hp and "reliability" in the same sentencetextbook midwit paradox. You want the performance of a flagship hyper-naked but the maintenance schedule of a Honda Accord.If you’re genuinely "scared" of KTM’s reliability, it means you’re a wrenchlet who shouldn't be looking at European triples or twins in the first place. You just want a status symbol that won’t make you learn how to use a multimeter. Just buy the S1000XR like every other boring architect and accept that you’re a gearfag who values a service plan over actual riding character. You’re NGMI.
>>29026012>You want the performance of a flagship hyper-naked but the maintenance schedule of a Honda Accord.yeah
>>29026008>what's the most reliable do-it-all bike with a fun engine that makes ~170hp?The new Honda hornet is 170hp, only thing that finally beat the gsxr750 in power/value for close to 2 decades now. Unlocked and corn fed it could probably put down a honest 190hp with factory reliability you'd expect from a Honda>>29026012Wrenchlet
>>29026016At least you’re honest about being a lifestyle consumer rather than a rider. You don’t want a motorcycle, just a thrill-ride with a warranty.

>>29025943I got smashed into and flung off my bike and woke up in the hospital. I vaguely remember the split second oh shit moment but i think most of the memory is just reconstructed after the fact. I admit, part of the reason I rode again might have been part of a trauma response. Like a bid to regain part of myself, to beat my injury and all that stuff. Also, I wrecked less than a year into learning how to ride so it was stubbornness also. So basically, 80% of the reason I rode again was stupidity.

>>29026478Lot of the premium ones come with adjustable buckle and velcros. Try to wear the pants over the boot, it could help.I'm almost a twink and I like my Gaerne Dakars, try some of the popular ADV boots, they are the easiest to put on and take off.

>>29026008>do all>people recommending naked bikesI dont know about you retards, but one of the things in "all" is "touring and commuting," and when you tour or commute you want weather protection, and you want good luggage options170 horses is a big ask, there are not very many motorcycles over 170 horse. I think the X1000SR is the only thing that comes to mind for me. I don't know why the other guy doesn't seem to like the X1000SR, I've never ridden one personally.
>>29026478I often talk about how much I like my forma adventure boots, and I first bought them when I weighed 300 pounds (i'm only 5'9" so I was very large).
What are your favorite motorcycle books? It can be technical or it can be a fictional story or whatever. I just want to check out new things.
>>29026521There's no weather protection unless it's a Goldwing or BMW K1600GT. Every other motorcycle just redirects wind fron your chest onto helmet.

I'm new to bike maintenance, my 90's Kawasaki Zephyr 750's battery was struggling after not being on a tender for a few weeks and like a retard when I tried to jump it I connected the bike's negative to the car's positive and only realized my fuckup when the jumper cable started melting. I've replaced the battery but it still wont start. The electrical part of the starting system seems to stop working after only 1-3 start attempts then almost gets the engine going if i leave it for a few hours. I ride it about once every 2 weeks. it's had troubles starting for about a year when left idle like that but i can usually get it going after a few tries and then it starts up just fine after that so I know it should be able to do a lot of start up attempts.Any trouble shooting tips? the service manual hasn't been much help and google results are all for if the battery is dead.
>>29026566You probably fried the stator / rectifier (aka the bikes charging system) Watch your headlamp when you rev the engine (assuming it still starts) if it brightens as you rev it then congrats that's your problem. If you open your stator cover and see burnt black copper coils then gg you fried
>>29026448New one? Nope thenfuck outIm prett sure the 1200gsa or 1250 cant remember which is like golden era peak of giant ass advsHonestly with fuck you noney id rwther go pan am hardley and just soup it tf out like how bmw fags doThe real choice is a sr100rr hard R edition and an older 1200/1250gsa before electronics aids killed the maintenancesMind with that money you dont need to do your own maintenances
>>29026518Thats not how you spell suzuki katana :)
>>29026570I can't get it started, the starting system stops getting power from the battery after a few start tries.Would a damaged stater/rectifier stop it from stating and cause it to act differently even when the engine is off? Before I could get a fuckton of start tries before the engine came on with no battery issues but now its only a few.
>>29026566It's not unusual for a new battery to need a full charge before it works right. Have you let the tender charge it fully?Of course, make sure the connections to the battery are good.The Zephyr was a rebrand of the KZ, and is a very good bike. The charging system is simple.As you know, the frame is - and called ground. There is a permanent magnet rotor bolted to the crank, and a stater with coils of wire that sticks inside it. It really only has three coils, connected to three yellow wires. These coils should all connect to each other but not to ground. The way they fail is either short to ground or a coil breaks and one yellow doesn't connect to the other yellows. You can check this with a meter.The yellows feed into the regulator. Three yellows in, + and - out. So five connectors. You can probably plug in any old Kawasaki regulator, several other brands too. It's an industry standard design.That's only two parts to go bad. Charge the battery, you should get over 12.5 volts out of it. Get the bike running, and check the volts at the battery when you rev your engine. If it goes up over 13 volts it's OK (14 volts if you have a sealed or Lithium battery) If the volts don't go up when you rev the engine, one of those two parts are bad, or both. Probably the stator.And now you know everything there is to know about the charging system.

yesterday i was doing some single track and i dumped my bike (wr250r). i had a fanny pack on and my knife was in the front of it, and i guess while i was trying to get the bike out of the mud, my knife somehow flicked open in my fannypack, poked a hole in the bag, and then stabbed my seat several times before i noticed i was catching on the seat. and i looked down to see this.what can i do about this?the cuts are clean. i was thinking about maybe putting some clear silicone or E6000 on them and holding them closed with tape while it cures.i also saw this guy's post on a forum where he repairs seats with a vinyl backing and locktite vinyl adhesive and silicone. it looks really nice but might be a lot of work.if i planned to keep this bike, i would just buy a new cover or an aftermarket seat, but honestly i'm planning on selling the bike in the next 3-4 months because i'm moving to a place where i just won't be able to ride offroad.i want it to not look like absolute dogshit, so i could sell it, but i don't want to splash out on a brand new seat for a bike i'm about to get rid of. do you guys have any experience with this stuff?
>>29026663>i also saw this guy's post on a forum where he repairs seatsthis post:https://www.xs650.com/threads/seat-cover-repair-how-to-diy-a-primer.60298/
I topped the V-strom out at 128mph on the autobahn. Fully loaded with gear!
>>29026663if its vinyl slide a piece under the cut then use a vinyl repair kit. My pillion was so fucked up I just sewn a new one.If you want postpone repairing just use tape to keep UV off the foam so it doesn't pit
>>29026560Only need HONDR prove me wrong (you can't) NC750X best bike for everyone because it can be an adventure bike, a sport touring bike, or a simple around-town shoomer, except it's doing all that in one bike. Also it has a frunk.
>>29026668excellent shoomin
>>29026670it's vinyl. i'm trying to get as much offroad riding done now, while i still can. i'm worried if i just tape it, it'll get water in and the foam will get fucked up for the next guy, which sucks.and i also don't want it to look like shit where a buyer goes "this seat is fucked up, take 200$ off the price."i'd probably spend like 70$ on a seat cover and stapler if i redid it with a new cover. i've never had to do any repairs like this so i don't really know what the play is.
>>29026654no, depression and alcoholism, I was skinny as a kid

>>29026705Hurley needs to make a new brand with only sport bikes and naked street fighters, and make a V4 engine. And bring back the air cooled Evo, Moto guzzi was able to get euro 5 on their engine.>>29026706Toyota already did it to their cars, Honda is not far away from them to be honest, just because they haven't implemented it yet, doesn't mean they wont.Honda bikes are nice but rearsets are not for me. I would've preferred neutral or mid pegs on the hornet. And I would've preferred an I4 or I3 instead of a piss twin, but they wanted to keep the price low.

>>29026594Check your spark plugs and see if they're getting any spark. If you are. Check your fuel pressure regulator by popping off the lil vacuum line and seeing if there's fuel dripping. If those are both fine, then it's possible that your rectifier is bad. It's not too common for the starters to go bad unless you had a bike who's previous owners were morons and kept holding the starter button down in a desperate attempt to start it up again Also I'm assuming you did check the battery with a voltmeter to make sure it's not shot right?Spark, fuel, air. Maybe it's just a vacuum leak, Check all the lines and rubber parts for good measure.

Why does the R3 consumes more fuel despite being similar to the CBR500?
>>29026801R3 is actually a race replica ppl don't know. The real name is YZF-R3
>>29026801The yzf part means it's for racing. They only use hose letters to their designated racing baikus, YAMAHA that is
>>29026807>>29026808So because it's for racing?
>>29026801Hey, where did you go?
>>29026810Yea pretty much, you believe me right?
>>29026719ywnbawhyb
>>29026812The MT3 has the same fuel consumption, why is that?
>>29026810they mean that it has a different tune. why would the cbr500 consume fuel the same way as a r3?
>>29026715Based take honestly
>>29026815Same engine the engine is homologitated n stuff, Yamaha is a good brand. >>29026817>why would the cbr500 consume fuel the same way as a r3?Kando
>>29026817Similar engine size and power?
>>29026801R3 makes peek power at a higher RPM, so its going bang more to make its power. Verses the CBR500 has more displacement to make a little more power with less bangs.Extreme example is the R6 makes more power than a R7. The R6 motor is spinning way faster, but that higher RPM sacrifices torque for power.
>>29026824Ohhhhhhh that makes sense
>>29026823there are lots of factors that go into itAnd they are not similar displacement at all haha. You have quite some learning to do
>>29026827The CBR is bigger I know, I was just wondering how the bigger bike somehow consumed less fuel than a smaller one
>>29026828Its all a balancing act between cost, displacement, RPM, fuel and air. Depending on the parameters in which the builder is working in can change how best to build the engine. The common phrase is "there is no free lunch".
>>29026828>I was just wondering how the bigger bike somehow consumed less fuel than a smaller oneits the Z in yzf.
>>29026828Basically if you're just looking at it on fuel mileage testing cycle it's going to be at higher RPM at every point. With stock gearing CBR500R does 75mph at 5900rpm while an R3 is 7600rpm or so. You could change nothing but the sprockets on the R3 and that fuel mileage picture would change a ton but because the engine is 150cc smaller it would struggle much more with tall gearing. This is a big trade off for small bikes, where say a CBR300R kind of can't afford any taller gearing because it will be fucking slow but with the stock gearing fuel mileage tanks over 55-60mph because of revs. (well it's still pretty good compared to almost anything else though)You can clearly see this as well in cages that have different final drive ratio options where the super tall gear will be slow as fuck and tow like shit but gets good gas mileage and certain gear options may only be available on the smallest or largest engines.
NC750X with 750cc has 2x better mileage than majority of bikes it's size
Minibikes > literbikes. Prove me wrong.
Are there reliable 2 stroke bikes that can do commuting, or should I give up on the funny exhaust brappers as someone with no space to work on it?
Why do people always say shifting a motorcycle is super hard when its really easy?I thought you needed to move the gear shift with your foot like a car shifter, but its just straight cut gears, so why do people say its very hard to shift a bike?

I bought this Guzzi with this aftermarket light and tail tidy kit installed, trying to determine how stupid it will look/whether the light will still be visible with a rear rack and a top box on the back. I'm trying to get enough storage to keep my helmet, boots and pants on the bike while I'm at work if possibleI suppose I can get a big bag to strap to the seat but I don't have too much room to work with there. I guess worst case scenario I can find another stock fender and a different stock seat. What do you guys think will look best and still be practical?

Any tips for cooking while on the road? I'm always going to be camping within half hour or so of a town so getting meat is no issue just need ideas before I end up with variations of chicken and rice every night.
>>29027262What's wrong with variations of chicken and rice every night? If getting the meat is no issue why not just eat a meal in town?
>>29027264>What's wrong with variations of chicken and rice every night?It gets boring>If getting the meat is no issue why not just eat a meal in town?Not as much fun as cooking. I'll eat out once in a while but I'd prefer to make stuff for myself.

A better question is how to prevent your peener from going numb on longer rides. After like an hour my peen is consistently numb if I don't have an opportunity to stop for a second.
