i can save her

>>28475863
is that a touring cbr conversion?

>>28475863
Honder thread

>>28475847
With the panniers, it's a genuinely viable daily rider. only issue is the supposed 3.9 gal fuel tank that I can only ever get 3 gallons into and the 40mpg with my right wrist.

Turns out my airport has free longterm motorcycle parking - with a car it'd cost you $200 a week. I parked there last week and I spotted a few bikes with shoei helmets and cardos just rawdogging it on the mirrors. When I landed today those helmets were still there. Wild to think I bothered chaining up my cheap backup LS2 helmet

>>28475853 (OP)
Garage bilt choppers anyone

>>28475877
Great lil bike. I love the melon transportation solutions.

>>28475863

>>28475885
adv looks fun but I would die alone in the wilderness

>>28475853 (OP)
Hey guys i want to get into motorcycles , im 24 5,8 and overweight whats a good choice harley or japanese cruiser??

>>28475877
Also, while top speed is definitely slower than my old Ninja 650 it feels so effortless to get into 100-110mph on the freeway while carrying a bunch of shit. It just werks. I also think this is faster than a bike ~200lbs lighter and with better aero simply due to gearing and quickshifter.
I resisted ADV's and panniers for so long but now I preach.

>>28475885
Dropping a T7 would make my heart drop. Can the bike take it? I wish had the balls to ride like you anon.

>>28475863

Just don't fall off, that's all you gotta do to have fun

You can only pick one and stick with it wich one would it be ?????

>>28475891
do a 800 calorie deficit until your bmi is 19 and get an SV-650

>>28475891
Welcome to /dbt/ Get a Honda rebel 300. Budget for gear as well. I'd nudge you towards a naked bike, cruisers are not as comfortable as they look, they have stiff and short suspension unlike the alternatives.

>>28475891
rebel 300 or the 500 if you don't consider yourself the kind of person the regularly does stupid shit and is willing to learn and practice.

>>28475902

Yamaha virago 250 mogs them with fewer ccs

>>28475900
I'm still in awe as to how they get so little out of so much displacement.

>>28475903
ask for the vin

>>28475910
good luck finding one.
Few were imported into the us, and even fewer still survive.
>>28475914
yah, it's probably someone's sweetheart that got abducted and now has her organs for sale. Fucking scavs.

>>28475900
Big twin evo for sure.
But theres nothing like riding a shovelhead

>>28475891
Suzuki Intruder, Victory Vegas/hammer, 2nd gen Yamaha virago, Honda Rebels or shadows are dope, but the Honda Magna is superior imo.
Lots of Harleys to pick from, but the actual cool stuff is unobtainium.

>>28475900
for me its the shovelhead, apprently it can have the lowest idle speed of all and allows you appreciate every single exhaust pulse. this would go nicely with my current 'ku which has the highest redline of all time. 17,000rpm. yamaha.

>>28475900
Evo. You can build a brand new engine out of all the aftermarket (or just buy a crate motor). They're dead reliable to boot. Evo sportsters will probably outlive Harley corporate at this rate.

>>28475913
50% of the displacement is reserved for noise making

>>28475921
None of these are entry level bikes, let him start on a rebel 300.

I dont understand why old boomers or harleyfags keep buying new motorcycles

Posted in old thread accidentally. Thanks to anon yesterday for the tip about pressing the rear brake to trigger the brake light. It's a lot easier than trying to squeeze the front brake, which only links to the light when it's pressed with a good amount of force.
Only issue is I'm sure a distracted driver won't notice the back light getting brighter, so uh, there's that.
Also, I have a rear drum brake and now I'm looking up how long they last. That'll be fun trying to find a replacement for one day.

>>28475885
Lol holy crap, looped that bitch out. Have to keep those elbows up, keep 'em bent

Honda should bring back vtwims and round headlights. Why won't Honda give me what I want? Stupid Honda.

give me a timestamp, im not watching that shit

I saw a guy on a very clearly new to him CBR650R today, taking corners slowly and going below the speed limit up a hill. It's a VERY pretty bike in person. I hope he learns to trust it, it looks fun.

>>28475885

Cool, don't watch it

Great news! Or maybe not. My sister is a flippant bitch.
A month ago I posted about my brother-in-law who's forced to ride a Ryker. Well, my niece is at the age where she's taken an interest in 2 wheels and my sister said it's ok to get her a little dirt bike. My brother-in-law said he should get something he could ride with her, she said ok, and he said he might as well get a dual-sport instead of a regular dirt bike. She the asked me about the smallest ones, I didn't know it would be for him, and I told her about the XR150 and TW200. Little while later I heard she was A-OK with those models. Not much, but it looks like he might actually be off the trike.

>>28475501
Based, not one but two V7 Sports is crazy. It's a 78 V50 that I picked up for $500. I also have an 83 Le Mans III that I am in the early stages of restoring, currently stripping the frame for paint. Both of them are flood bikes, the LM3 was a lot worse though, and been off the road nearly a decade. Would like to get in touch and talk more about tractors that cosplay as sport bikes.

>>28476100
Why won't my sister give me niece or nephew? Nobody is having kids these days. I'm not married yet so that something. So anon, are you getting a small bike to ride with your niece?

>>28475863
Based, I've never crashed or dropped my road bike in my 8 years and ~100,000km of riding.
>>28475885
I have crashed a lot off road though.

>>28476100
Ngl you're brother in law sounds like a total bitch. I get safety concerns and all that, but if you're already on a ryker and are already getting on two wheels then c'mon, you can't let other people make decisions for you like that
>thanks for reading my blog, please like and subscribe for more life hacks

>>28475880
that's nuts

>>28475881
yee

You all say SV is a good bike but you also say you'd rather buy an XSR700.
Explain

>>28476157
idk

>>28476157
You asked about the SV650X which was rare and discontinued. A regular SV650 is an easier pick over the XSR.

>>28476170
Why? They're basically the same bike, XSR is just marginally more powerful/marginally improved brakes and suspension, especially compared to an older SV.

>>28476174
The Suzuki looks better, has a way bigger aftermarket, and hilariously for something that hasn't been updated in like 15 years has a more readable LCD.

>>28476179
To each their own on looks. Never cared for the SV650's tank and frame. Agreed on the cluster.

>>28476170
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pYt-GYngp0

>>28476185
white looks good

>>28476185
Not present on the Suzuki US website. Neither is the Katana.

>>28476157
Never, vtwims over ptwin and sv650 has the steel trellis frame look which is much better.

>>28476189
Why don't we get the katana? I'd buy one now that I have some money.

>>28476209
Suzuki finds it more profitable to sell dirtbikes, four wheelers, jetskis, and outboard motors in the US. Niche street bikes are way, way down the list, so we don't get some of them.

>>28476157
I rather get SV because we don't have the uncucked version in my hellhole.
Plus Vtwin is better for filtering

>>28476222
Is the VTwin worship, ptwin seethe pure manlet cope? Do you guys REALLY need the extra narrow seat/frame? Filtering is limited by bars or bags, you absolute fucking retard, not frame width.

>>28476224
It feels more fun. I don't need a better justification.

>>28476224
Hey Mr Salesman, hard day at office and need to move some old stock?

>>28476232
>>28476229
You're both idiots if you think the width of the bars is influenced by the width of the frame/engine.

>>28476237
I wasn't even talking about bar width, I just like V engines and boxer engines better than ptwins. But now that you mention it, you can make an SV650 pretty narrow with aftermarket bars and mirrors. This was what Yamaha had to invent the R7 to beat.

>>28476246
I would love a boxer 500 bobber as fuck about bike.

>>28476157

My old man might be selling his pos 2017 hyosung rgt that his dropped twice, can't drive it much anymore cause his body is falling apart. I've never really been a bike person, more a car guy. Would this be a bad 1st bike?

>he still doesn't get it

>>28476270
Koreans should build big bikes.

>>28476274
Thanks. A question, how long do bike motors last in general? he didn't change the oil at one point for nearly 3-4 years (covid + his a lazy pos) while still doing minimal riding and only changed it sometime last year. I need to check the km on it still.

>>28476287
Depends on the brand. Just change the oil, bleed the brakes and start riding anon. If possible drain the old gas and put new gas in.

>>28476287
Depends a lot on engine, high stress and high performance engines can last 60-80k km before going boom.
But street bike engines are usually are good for >140k km, depending on how well it was maintained.

>>28476295
And 30k km for GayTMs

>>28476292
>>28476295
Thanks guys. It hasn't sat for that many years he drove it during that period and recently too so gas/brakes should be fine but if I do purchase it then I'll get that shit sorted.

>>28476270
Its a vtwin? Based Hyosung. But it's not much better than CBR250R which is disappointing.

>>28475937
They can afford them easily and like the features and additional power. Motorcycles are toys after all and the more rich people buy them the more for the used market.

I find them overly complex and annoying to work on vs Evo and "Evo style S&S etc" but they can still be stripped down like anybike and bobbed or chopped.

>>28475924
>apprently it can have the lowest idle speed of all and allows you appreciate every single exhaust pulse

I appreciate sufficient oil flow more because engines are getting expensive to work on. Idling at low RPM does nothing good to lubricate and help cool a stationary Shovelhead (I've '78 and '82). I either idle fast or shut down.

I've never previously heard it asserted Shovels could idle at the lowest RPM of any which makes no mechanical sense given the design commonality from Knuckles through Evo big twins.

If you like cool Shovel tricks they're easy to "kickstart" by hand when warmed up and properly timed. Works for any stock compression ratio Evo and prior if the ignition is set up for kicking (

Just pulled this critter out of the grave. There's a quarter size hole in the transmission case from the chain snapping so it was running when put away. I managed to get it to turn over but haven't tried to start it yet. Oh and there's no key for the fuel cap which is required to open it. Starting to think I'm in over my head.

>>28476258
I would love that bike if where I lived had roads without pot holes as deep and wide as the wheels, and if the retards of my city could do more than 40kph.

>>28476359
> Starting to think I'm in over my head.
Yeah you are, but get the service manual and give that bike the care it deserves.
Nothing worse than a machine rotting in a shed.

>>28476359
An old air cooled dirt bike is not that big of a money pit.
transmission case will be the biggest expense.
Fuel caps are easy to get off and replace, if you want you can replace the fuel tank if your like fuck it.

It turned over which is good it means all the bits inside are free to move.

Reminder, if it's not NIB (new in box) you do NOT pay full price.

/dbt/ sister, when does a motorcycle get too heavy for being a daily driver in the city? I know for sure that bikes like the z400 are light enough to be ridden comfortably inside a big city, but what about a middle weight bike like a mt-07, do they start to get too heavy for start and stop city traffic?

>>28475873
You meet the _______ people on a Honda

>>28476560
if its built by HD
weight doesn't tell the full story, its how low the center of gravity, lean angel and wheel base is.
I daily my VFR800 without issues at 240kg. Also love the NC750S for city riding due to extremely low COG, even though its also a 220kg bike.
"middle weight" bikes are no issues.

>>28476560
You can town centre one of pic. Stay upright and plan your route.
If you're going to be all never fallen off learner then you should probably stay small.

Dreams of cooler days

>>28476560
are you retarded? Do you want to push-start your bike at every light or what? Just use the fucking clutch to get going you smoothbrain.

>>28476560
I’m not sure there is a bike too heavy to daily in the city, I know a couple guys in NYC who daily bat wing tourers, obviously the whole NYPD motorcycle fleet used to be entirely road kings, back when I was a youth. Just ride

>>28476599
>are you retarded? Do you want to push-start your bike at every light or what?
I live in Madrid, here we don't have giant parking lots like in america and bikes are parked on the sidewalk. Sometimes you have to park between other bikes, sometimes you have to reverse it because there's a fence or something blocking the exist. I was just wondering when does a bike became too heavy to push it around in those situations.

>>28475891
turbo busa is the only starter bike anyone should ever get

>>28476560
people daily ride cruisers and stuff like Gold Wings, is there such a thing as too heavy for a daily rider?

Pick the best baek from this list.

>>28476609
Walk one around a dealership, you'll soon find out where your limits are.

>>28476609
Depends more on you than the bike desu, but croozers and heavy adv's are just going to be a challenge all to their own. You can literally pick up a dual sport and swing it around if you wanted to, and full lock is almost perpendicular.

>>28475891

This also answers how heavy a town bike.

I agree with this guy, a sportster is some of the most fun you can have at road legal speeds

anything but a trackweapon makes a much better bike for twisties
i'd do it on a 125 or even a c90

My daily commute is about 6 miles, a mile of that is leaving my burbs with two 15 degree turns, two big hills, followed by a long stretch thats mostly soft curves. From there its 5 miles of straight highway with about 3 stoplights. What could I have fun riding daily for this commute?

>>28476677
Well the alternative is entry level sport bikes that can comfortably do minimal hwy speeds. Or scramblers. Honestly its just that top end stuff jfor sport bikes aren't very good on regular roads or very fun. If you already planned on spending a lot then a cruiser or tourer is just better for it. It just isn't fun having something thats heavy that you can't really push because of road limitations and lack of road maintenance.

>>28476697
This, I did it on my suzuki 125 scoot, it was lot of fun. The only issue was its rear suspension or riding posture is shit and it gave me ass pain.

SV650, imo most bikes will be fun. Just get the most comfortable bike. Get a GS even, that should be able to do it in style, loads of fun and reach in comfort.

>>28476707
RC30 will break any limit in first.
My car (has car) will exceed the limit in third at idle.
As they say It's more fun to ride something slow fast than a fast thing slow.

>>28476707
>50-100mph
I don't think this anon cares about speeding tickets

>>28476704
The VFR is geared pretty well for that. You can crooze in 6th at low RPM on the highway but the fun parts of the tach are accessible in lower gears.

>>28476724
85 is speed of traffic in the left, 100 is barely speeding

>>28476744
Maybe for people in texas, idaho, and cali but on average over 90mph in the US the limit is 75mph max and over 90 is not even a speed you can talk down in court for a lower violation. Ive had friends lose both bikes and cars to crushers in traffic violations but usually it is for 80 on a 55 and 65+ in a school zone. You can't get out of those.

Illiterate or just retarded?

>>28476758
You want yo push yourself on a bike you financed thats your own choice but personally a mid weight or entry level is fun cause you can wreck and replace it.

>>28476757
>65+ in a school zone
No way that speed. I have done 100mph+ in one but it was early and I was late.

>>28476761
I’m retarded, thanks

It was 90 degrees at 8:00am on my commute this morning, just rode to get lunch at 96 degrees, forecast at 100 degrees for my commute home, I am going to arrive at my home crispy

>>28475948
They will remain that way because if every boomer were swallowed by the earth there are far more customers with money than there are old HDs. That's also why swap meets get cleaned out because there are only so many old parts to go around.

Panheads can be had for new bike prices though. Expecting them to be cheap would be absurd. Knucks will be in Vincent territory shortly.

Yes, but pop rivet guns are not expensive and results look tidier than soon-rusted zinc-coated self-tappers.

My niece ought to do onlypans. I'm not going to be the first to suggest it.

Bros, i got harley mogged this morning

>>28476819
Is that Texas or do you have corners?

You'll mog that when you start to move.

Oh damn that's way in there. I should ride over the mountains from Vancouver sometime when I'm north of the border.

What is benley? If you meant bentley they dont make bikes afaik

>>28476843
>But i wanted one too :(
Buy a GS like everyone

>>28476213
But don't their bikes sell well? My local dealership got 3 preorders for the new DRZ-4SM, and the GSX-R is still the most popular larger sportbike I see around. I'd think there'd be enough of a market to make it worth it.

>>28476865
Classic small Honda. I guess you don't have stores full of them.

But its never happening

>>28476862
I've thought about being an ADV homeless for a couple months. I've got money saved up. I moved back home to save for a house, but the market is still so fucked I can't buy rn. I've also been thinking about a career change for a while so it's not like I'm leaving a job I love.

>>28476884
Harley owners are stereotpical fat guy on a Honda Cub with a glock and a 'stendo.
I've never liked one.

Is it cheaper to source a Wide Glide front end 2nd hand or just buy new and bolt it on?

Found a front end for like 500 bucks and brand new they tend to run 7-800, just dunno if it'd need a rebuild kit
>H00RR

>>28476892

>>28476900
Found one.

>>28476768
Coworker did that on the way to work a month ago. It was somewhat made worse because his learner permit is expired and he doesn't want to deal with the dmv for full endorsement. They got a lawyer but still got points on their license and didn't get the bike crushed.

>>28476843
>British Columbia

>>28476909
>he doesn't want to deal with the dmv for full endorsement
Why is this a problem for people? Sure, when I was young I rode dirty for a time, but I just went and took the test after a final because I realized I needed to get it done. I was also only riding shit bikes I bought for $300 to get back and forth from my apartment to campus. I don't get people that buy nice or new bikes, but don't take the time to get the piece of paper.

>>28476742
Tbf thats more of a sport tourer. Again better for twisty that super sport.

>>28476909
Ouchie. They (law) probably won't forget about that for a while either.

lmao

>>28476914
Becuase Charlotte has 3 dmv with only 3 tests per day at only 2 locations for the entire city. I did msf instead.

>>28476920
>tranny turned into a real woman
>bike turned into a xsr900
woah

>>28476901
uh no, but i guess that is also an option.

>>28476921
So? I did my test at a dealer a town over because the BMV didn't do tests in my area. They only did tests on Tuesdays from noon to 2PM. After all that I then had to go to my branch to wait an hour with the piece of paper to get my endorsement. It's annoying, but it's not impossible.

>>28476929
Tbf thats the excuse I hear from people that didn't do msf around here.

>>28476928
oh. I thought by mushrooms you meant one thing and by berries you meant fondling other things.

If anything tell that to the gibmegrants

What do you guys think of my new shirt? I love collecting Harley official merch :D

>>28476954
Haven't decided yet. I have a laptop job so I can tour hotel to hotel without taking time off. I'm thinking big island for my next leaftour, Port Angeles to Victoria up to Port Alberni and Sproat Lake. I'm going all the way to Maine and back in August so Vancouver and Okanagan will probably need to wait for September.

WHY DURING MY FUCKING COMMUTE.

>>28477036
Postie will see that guy sorted if only they didn't have to be 25 years old.

>>28477036

>>28477050
fair enough.

GET ON THE FUCKING GROM

>>28475900
The M8 is actually great and very smooth feeling.
It's also actually fast and powerful, which is a nice change...

>>28477055
Easy enough. I've made a Supermoto before.
Stickies and brakes are a start.

>>28477058
>he feels up his m8s.

It's been two weeks since they told me they ordered the parts to fixe my bike. What the fuck is taking so long.

>>28477061
So interesting story.
A Harley tech told me back in the 90's there was a class about boring out the jugs on Evos to make them larger displacement.
The Twin Cam pissed off a lot of old guys because all of the parts are bolt on.
A lot of old timers left over it.
M8 went back to single cam but the parts are still all bolt on.
M8 is actually a powerful and fast engine though.
Late model Twin Cams are also very solid and powerful.

>>28477068
Did the ship sink. Is it on fire somewhere as car carriers tend to be.
Did they lie.

>>28477077
The bets from other riders I know IRL is that they parted the bike out after they took my insurance money to fix it.
I'm starting to see it as not a joke.

>>28477042
Ignore the pavement intricacies.

What do those moonrunes mean and why is top the best option

Also bros i forgot to mention yestersays dinner was legit japanese lady lunchtime and it was the best, hqvent had that much soVL put into my japanese food since my first waifu experience. Frfr she wqs also japanese
Maybe i should marry the ramenshop lady, the key yo a mans heart is through his stomach after all

>>28477057
For me it would be the stretched one but also needs to be tutbocharged with NOS and pure sex energy, needing a rebuilt after one shoom; ultimate disposable income experience
Hopefully it goes 100mph too, which is at least 10mph faster than a stock grom

Simply put, thats the price you gotta pay if you wana go fast


Speaking of going fast, bros my chain is cooked from luggages and long distance shooming, i think i might have to break a few links off and i do NOT hqve any of the neccessary tools, wtf should i do bros? Go buy a lugnut wrench, tighten what i do got, and hope for the best?

>>28477056
Wait, what is that thing at the bottom right?
Looks amazing.

>>28477074
I wish they would bring back the overbuilt 5 speeds and put them with newer motors, ever sincr mr.harleyboomer lent me his 25 years experience fixing and wrenching all twins and v4s including hondas, he sold me the idea that these trannies dont 41% themselves because of simplistic gearing and bearing design, whereas the 6speed took all things wrong from automotives and applied their problems to the 2wheeler world
Classic example of zoomer/millenial engineering r&d not knowing what the fuck theyre doing in practice but larping in principle
Otherwise i wonder if there are aftermarket 5speed designs out there that are indestructible, even if it wasnt neccessarily a 5 but had all the right parts addressing those issues
I forgrt the part name but whereas the 5 speed ia all linear gearing iirc the 6 is more like a car and that plus cheap bearings resulted in all these issues

Sometimes i wish i had recorded that conversation into a mp3 file for reference or knew a book to reference these things so i could accurately spell it out for my esl bros on dbt

>>28477273
>every single bike is a cp2
yea im thinking your poll might not be accurate. kawasaki has a engine for every class, including 250cc 4 cylinder class. yamaha has nothing.

>>28477291
Kawi's dirtbikes aren't as good/diverse as Yamaha's. They've never really made a WR450 competitor that was worth a damn. I wish Yamaha would make a Versys competitor with the CP4 but I think they sunk so much money into the Niken that just iterating the Tracer 9 is their main sport touring effort going forward.

>>28477296
>Tracer 9
aka r9 with knobbies

>>28477226
Delusional. Offer low threes, pay no more than 3800.

>>28477298
The Tracer 9 is a pavement bike, dumbass. 17" wheels all around. The Teneres are Yamaha's ADV bikes.

>>28477301
its also a race replica if you install clip ons kek

>>28477306
Nobody here has ever claimed the fucking tracer 9, the huge tall upright sport tourer with a gargantuan fuel tank and factory bags, is a race replica. Kill yourself if you're only going to be conversing in bad faith.

>>28477314
fuck yamaha

>>28477318
See, now you're at least being honest.

>>28477056
we might get the hunter cub in Europe soon, I'm considering buying it

>>28477296
>diverse
The only dirtbikes that matter are R models.

>>28477318
You don't even need to say it Yamaha does it to themselves

>>28477365
they make fine guitars

I kinda want the 2025 tracer 9 gt plus but yamaha is now only selling the base version this year. Also my 23 CB500x with over 24,000 miles has alot of upgrades already. It's only missing more power, better chassis and the tech on the gt plus. I guess I'll wait another year or two when I REALLY outgrow this bike.

>>28477396
You should consider a Suzuki GSX-S1000GT+/GX+ if you want a bigger sport tourer. More power, legendary engine, better tech.
