>>29149152>/0/bin>your YouTube feedKys you shape shifting jeet faggot
>>29149152Ducati Monster 796 or Triumph Street Triple (both about 10 years old)?
>>29149152Why was 80s/90s GP so fucking kino lads?https://youtu.be/GWNY2tyqMXM?si=ttgMRc0U955G_vc6Legit what even happened to the Japanese talent? Or any non-Spanish talent, really? It's sad that all the classes have basically become Spanish National Championships these days.
>>29149152You don't have a bike
>>29149183Get the triple. If you're going with the monster you might as well get an sv650. Alternatively I'd recommend an mt09 if you want a decent naked around the 100hp range @415lbs
>>29149190Thanks for the response. My heart choice would be the Monster so I'm torn between that and the Triple. What makes the Triple the better option for you out of interest?As for the other recs, my plan was to get a European bike as my regular and get an older Japanese sportsbike like pic related for trackdays and maybe some racing in a year or two when I have some more space to keep it.
>>29148440hello fellow manletAnon, we are the exact same height and i did multiple 10+ hours of highway ride for touring reason, once on a sumo and the others on my current naked 'ku both in the rain and in the piping hot summer heatwave.i think the best thing is having earplugs and good gear: doing that with my adv helmet for example, while still high quality, was quite more tiring compared to using my touring helmet noisewise. i don't particularly mind the air pressure at all, but keep in mind i never rode anything with a big windshield so i'm probably just used to the wind pressure at 110-130km/h at this point (i've recently started wearing also a camelback to try stay hydrated in the summer but even that wasn't a big issue if it rests nicely on the back).
>>29149198The monster is a cool bike, and its mostly down to personal preference, but imho, unless you don't care about performance, I'd prefer having the extra power and fuel capacity, especially if you chose to daily it. The monster does make more torque lower down, so its kind of a toss up depending on your commute too. I would honestly do it the other way around with your bike choice too. Dailying a euro bike and tracking an older japanese bike is gonna be a pain. You're gonna want a bike that won't break down or cost that much for a daily, and on the track you'll want something that you can learn well on. The monster would be a great track bike to do that. For commuting, I have a vfr800 and a c14, and I can tell you that you definitely won't be riding nearly as much on a street triple or a monster without putting a lot more money in for maintenance and repairs. Keep the more exotic stuff for track days

Went for a ride yesterday. Foreet roads get boring but at least you get some good views and occasionally an interesting find
>Scooters are cool too, now swap 1000cc in itthank you based chat geepeetee
Should I bother adding more stuff to my rebel 300? I dont know when I will have time and funds for a new bike and if I will even end up buying a rebel 500. Most the parts can be moved but there are better bikes.
>>29149208Try a ride on the comfy side anon. My previous bike was an FZ, which isn’t exactly the ultimate tourer but it’s a hell of a lot kinder than a naked. >but keep in mind i never rode anything with a big windshield so i'm probably just used to the wind pressure at 110-130km/h at this pointThis is pretty much everyone’s answer lol. Of course you don’t mind if you’ve never ridden anything without protection. It’s less about weather and more about the body fighting the wind. Doing a 16 hour day on my FZ felt like a death march vs doing multiple 12 hr days on my buddy’s Vstrom which felt like a pleasant Sunday ride the whole way through.All that said I’m only complaining, I love riding and I don’t plan to let comfort deter as it never has before. Just wanted to state that the discomfort of a naked is absolutely not worth the tradeoff. I only purchased mine because I got an amazing deal and the rest of the platform is incredibleAs a side note>i think the best thing is having earplugsPeople always say this as if it isn’t a given, what kind of psychos are riding longer than an hour at most without earplugs????
>>29149271no, the rebels are the ugliest bikes ever designed
>>29149279Between January onward I am waiting for a deal for a cb500f or scl500 or something cool in the used market. Theres a 4k cb650 for the 2000s that is tempting me but I hate sport ergos and I'm 5 foot 7 with short legs.
>>29149282>cb500f or scl500well, there's no accounting for taste, ですね
>>29149271Do it, add everything
>>29149255That Husky looks so happy to have been in mud, like a Golden Retriever discovering it was made to jump in water.
Should I get a Ninja 650 or a CBR 500R for a light sport tourer? I mostly want it to commute every day to a big city, so it has to be light enough for city traffic. I'm favoring the CBR 500r due to thr lower fuek consumption and e-clutch, but I plan on doing some long trips occasionally and the higher power on the ninja sounds nice. I'm a manlet so adventure bikes with better ergonomics and wind protection are out of the question.
>>29149303Ya we got into some muddy spots which proved to be some fun. My brother is pretty new to dirt still so we mostly stick to the forest roads and occasional double track for now, but hopefully this winter we can start getting properly stuck in
>>29149304I am in the same boat but that is why I was looking at cb500f and scl, idk if the cbr500r has upright ergos because that helps in city for me at least.
