>>28484531
Holy shit bros, this is BIG

Can't remember what this one was

years ago I gave a friend a ride down to check out an EX250. I rode it for her to check it out and it had so little power I didn't understand why it existed. anyways she asks me if she should buy it and I tell her it runs fine but that she should ride it herself to make sure, she then proceeds to drop it while u-turning at the end of the road. told her she has to buy it now lol.

>>28484994
>>28485012
so..?

>>28485009
You are the designated asphalt hamburger scrubber? Any good stories? Do you really use a grill brush?

>>28485024
lol just brutal

>>28485049
kys

>>28485048
>hamburger
britbongs
no stories are every good lol, its usually just fucking retards who think theyre not going to crash, then take a corner too fast or get cut off and fall off

3 weeks ago, we did have 1 guy that was clearly drunk, so he pretended to be passed out when the policia came to breathalyse him, worked 3 times, and by the time he actually got tested he was just below the limit

and no, not a grill brush, but if its bad, we will get the steel wool out
steel wool > wash out with alcohol > more steel wool > more alcohol > pick around with tweezers > more alcohol

Is an Enduro a good idea for a beginner daily rider?

>>28485074
are you a chav?

>>28485090
easy target for theft, blacks love to commit crime on a stolen enduro

>>28485093
They'll commit crimes on anything regardless of type

>>28485095
nah, theyre not gonna steal a naked, sports, cruiser etc.

dirt bikes/quad bikes are their main targets

>>28485097
You are over thinking their thinking they see a bike and will try to steal it as is their nature. If they can't start it they chimp out and will vandalize it before knocking it over, nakeds have to be pretty shitty if even niggers don't want to steal them

OOF MADONE did yall see the new R12 GS?
looks GREAT

Picked up a 25 Dax 125 for my two block commute to work, got a 14 Ultra Limited ++ in my garage.. Get made fun of for not riding the "big bike" but that shit isn't even out of the garage by the time I'm here.. Highly recommend for a small town. Speed limits 25-35. Fastest I got it up to with my ass was 62, don't recommend screaming.. 35 is cash money. Side not while I wait on captcha, I also plan on strapping it to the truck and bringing it on camping trips, major part of my buy.

>>28485135
Whoa there chud, you can't say the N word here this is a place of ACCEPTANCE and non racism. Janitorial staff of redditchan please see to it that this post gets deleted as it is highly offensive to our African American posters.

>>28485135
its about ability to drop/reuse them, my friend group has had about 15 dirtbikes stolen over 7 years, all eventually being used for a gas station robbery or similar nigtivity

not a single one of our other bikes have even been touched, except a guy with an H2 once had 3 cars surround him at a junction in austin, but he just took off

>>28485143
Otherwise would love to pick up a new Gixxer.. Kawasucc can succ me fuckin fags get a real bike and talk to me. So fuckin gay they are with that shit green and subtier bikes. Suzuki Gang

Are there any camera nerds able to help me find out and source the camera model that was used to film RoadRash 95' cutscenes?

I am at my wits end and yearn to create motorcycle content but with this nostalgic look

>>28485147
You're not convincing me that buying an ensuro is a bad idea, you're xoncincing me that living anywhere with a large number of blacks is a bad idea

>>28485113
literal lab vibes in here but im pretending i know lmao

>>28485151
You can just use filters in modern video editors for this type of shit, there's like a 90s filter in Adobe premiere

>>28485159
Not the same by any means, filters don't exude the warmth of classic film equipment. I want to know what that fucking camera and I want to fucking buy one.

>>28485155
Looks like a sig gen and maybe an oscope next to it

>>28485151
just go on fb marketplace and look for old camera equipment, or go to carboot sales
theres some gofast girl that does it
https://www.instagram.com/amycatvaughan/

>>28485150
I would like another bike, like an R1 or a Super Duke. But I have a 800+ credit score so its best I avoid the sales staff for now.

>>28485167
>the warmth
just increase yellow hue lol l, you're gonna spend 100$ of dollars on ancient equipment, in the end you're gonna have to manually edit it too. You won't get shit done and it's a 0 value added process (sourcing the equipment)

>>28485169
>instagram
kill yourself you reddit faggot

>>28485151
Maybe a Arri camera of some kind.

>>28485171
He is not wrong. It really dose look different and it takes a lot of post processing to even get it close on modern digital equipment.

>>28485151
probably VHS and then digitalized.

>>28485188
0 value added process

>>28485197
Maybe the guy wants to make meme videos that look like they're from the 80/90s.

>>28485203
Those autistic little tweaks add 0 value retard, people are still gonna skip around since it's gonna be boring as fuck because all his efforts went to meem aesthetics instead of actual content..

>>28485151
Can these bikes be identified?

>>28485208
You have to fuck one.
Choose carefully.

>>28485153
well yes

>>28485212
I'll tell you that they're Yamahas and put together like that they'll be JDM and probably all under 400cc.

>>28485217
They used a Ducati, it's still up in the EA offices were it was actually wrecked in a scene

>>28485012
>>28485044
From the "?" onward in a youtube link, are trackers. The link will work fine without all of the extra stuff.

>>28485169
No nigga, I want the fucking model they used not some fucking random one you dumb motherfucker.
>>28485171
You CANT replicate OG shit with filters, I know you don't have any sense as a "good nuff" slop guzzler but I CAN tell. I don't give a fuck what the cost is I want that specfic fucking camera so get it through that dense skull that you aint providing jack shit information so just shut the fuck up.

>>28485188
>Arri
Ok thank you, this is a useful Lead.
>>28485195
Maybe, the issue is figuring what camera was used.
>>28485212
Yeah just read the road rash wiki, they used a lot of different bikes

>>28485230
>slop guzzler but I CAN tell
so what, you think if you get all this ancient equipemtn and splice this shit together with scissors and glue its not gonna be slop? make sure to post it when ever you get this figured out

>>28485230
>I want the fucking model they used
youre not going to find the exact model, and even if you did the development techniques from those times are quite literally already lost - we dont know how to reproduce CGI from early 2010s

>>28485208

>>28485212
>>28485151
hell yeah
https://youtu.be/uTrgjioE8ec

You might have to ask Rod Gross. search says he directed the live action stuff.

>>28485235
>development techniques lost
There is no way its lost. There ares still hobbyists that keep a lot of the old film stuff alive. A city library somewhere probably still has books on how its done. I was developing film in HS print shop in the early 2000s. Getting the equipment and knowing how to set it up is another matter. I even have a small collection of books on photography practical effects from the 80s.

My big 2-3 week offroad trip got cancelled cause my friend's appendix burst, just weeks before we were supposed to head out. Feels bad man

>>28485254
Man i remember the videos and the menu having this awesome soundtrack and then the race starts and you get the most retarded midi-music imaginable instead.

Still dont get why they did that, most racing games that came on CD at that time just used the audio tracks of the CD-Rom and played that during races.

This is going to be my next tour, just a base plan at present. Any suggestions?

https://youtu.be/1TV_Z2_b5SE

>>28485273
I suggest you have a good time

>>28484984 (OP)
I think the 1300 GSA is really cool looking covered in luggage and I’m tired of pretending it’s not

>>28485273

He means pull start, like a mower or chainsaw

anybody here ride a dual purpose daily?

>>28485320
I once had a rock stuck in my fan. That sucked.

>>28485330
Yes. well kind of

>>28485317
no painkillers work for that type of pain
best you can do is bite a piece of wood and grit it out

>>28485339
I'm wondering about tires, I'll be on a cobblestone type road a lot, it's made with round stones

I'd say 20% cobblestone, 20% dirt, and 60% pavement

also, what type of bike is this?

>>28485320
>Overheating
>Ever
Forced air cooled is the master race!

wtf bros

>>28485375
>free veggies
don't see the problem

Is adv the young man's cruiser?

why havent the french or spanish ever made a good [modern] bike?

>>28485343
70/30 tire would be my suggestion, like the shinko 705
>shitbike
Maxxis is probably the cheapest without being dangerous

>>28485343
70/30s have been fine on wet asphalt and brick in my experience. I imagine your suspension will tested more than your tires on cobblestone.

summer dbt thread check:

on day 10, dont go to nottingham, i'd suggest maybe never returning there - unless of course we're going to have a /dbt/ uk meetup at warhammer world or the city ground?

Bros, took my dual sport out and dropped her twice in mud. It had just rained, it was slick as hell, and I was feeling overconfident. I felt like I've gotten a lot better at riding offroad, but man I got too cocky here. I don't even care that I dropped it, but I was riding like shit. Not to make excuses, but the 50/50 tires I have suck ass in the mud. The plastics are getting kinda fucked up now, too.

Anyways, since I'm a dork that always wears all my gear I'm perfectly fine. I wasn't going very fast, but damn it's a good reminder how important it is to ride safely. A drop like the first one, had I been on pavement without gear, would have fucked my leg up for sure. I ate it pretty good. But again, I had gear and I fell on a soft surface/liquid so I'm fine. Just fucked my pants up, but didn't even break skin. Dual sports is hard job, stay safe out there boys.

>>28485445
>Dual sports is hard job
aw fuck...

so it should not be my first bike?

>>28485447
Nah, I think a dual sport is the perfect first bike actually. Almost all of them have extremely manageable power. I think spending some time riding offroad is good for you. Get a cheap used one, that way you don't feel too bad when you beat it to shit like I'm doing to mine. I did something stupid, make a mistake riding, but all I've got for it is a bruised ego. If I made a similar mistake on a sportbike or something, took a turn too fast, I could be dead or seriously injured.

>>28485447
He means riding off road, I'm sure. A dual sport as a first bike is a fine choice
>>28485445
If it makes you feel any better, basically all tires suck in mud. Wet clay is the worst of it, pretty much have to line up your entrance and exit then hang on for dear life.

>>28485445
>took my dual sport
Hotbike

Cool Sports are the best bikes period

>>28485454
I posted the wrong webm

>>28485343
Shoot, I couldn't tell ya. I've had my DRZ in supermoto trim for a while now and have just been using Michelin 2cts, but those suck in dirt and pretty much anything that isn't perfect tarmac. On my XR650R, I'm using some Pirelli scorpion MXs because that's what it came with from the previous owner. Sorry I'm not much more help
>wat byk
Mondial RX3

>>28485461
makes me so mad that i cant get a road legal version of this bike in fucking europistan
i shit and piss on the buerocrats in brussels
i hate them so very, very much

>>28485467
What about the 701? I know the Czechs have them at least

>>28485471
yeah i literally own a 701

So I think bikes are neat but have no experience, what can you tell me about

>Nakeds
>Sport tourer
>Enduro
>Dual sport
>100cc+ scoots
>250/300/400cc sports

>>28485472
Well, it's not quite as aggressive of course but it's pretty darn close. I nearly got one instead of the 500 because I have to ride an hour or more on the road at times to get to some trails

>>28485445
Air your tires down when you will primarily be on dirt.

>>28485475
>Anon, can you write several books for me pwease?

>>28485476
im happy enough with the 701 and i got the sumo not the enduro
but it still pisses me the fuck off that all the bikes here nowadays are castrated to heck and back because apparantely motorcycles having two lamba sensors is gonna revert climate change

i really truly hate politicians so much that it affects my physical health

>>28485475
>Dual sport
get one, trust me

>>28485475
>Nakeds
sport bikes with straight bars instead of clip ons, no fairings over engine, engines tuned for rideability on the street over top speed.

>>28485483
The footpegs are also lower to the ground and more in the middle of the bike instead of being rearset (on most)

>>28485464
you need handguards dude
offroading with no handguards is just asking to fuck up your brake and clutch levers, you need handguards that run fron the handlebar end over the front to the handlebar, a closed loop of metal

show me more pics of the bike

>>28485491
Ya I knewI was going to be swapping out the pirch mounted deflectors for proper handguards sooner or later, I was just waiting for them to break. And break they did that day lol

>>28485491
Here's another pic from a different angle. Found quite a few knee deep puddles that day

What do you can this move?

>>28485494
>that webm
jesus christ man lmao
its like slapstick, all that space and you go straight for the tree kek

>>28485497
>>28485494
but arent those two different bikes?

>>28485499
nothing personal, hohol

>>28485390
define young

Took the GS out newr Rainbow Lakes... Quickly learned that was a terrible idea. Almost dumped the bike twice. Probably best I stick to dirt roads until I get some skills.
>>28485494
At that point just get a proper dirt bike...

>>28485505
Of course they had to give Putin the Ural, but what is the bike on the left?

>>28485508
<60

>>28485390
No, at least not yet. I still see enlisted guys on cruisers near bases.

>>28485502
Same bike, new plastics with decals

>>28485390
young in the "35 is the new 25" sense maybe

>>28485515
noice.

>>28485515
Nah, the 501 is more than adequate for 2 track. It pretty much is a proper dirt bike with a plate, though

>>28485517
Ducati Diavel

>>28485517
a true mother fucking orthodox patriot mobile OF CHRIST, thats waht

>>28485526
I want a 501 but the 350 is probably gonna be the light duty dual sport eventually unless I find a smoking deal on a TE250

>>28485531
350 is kind of best of both worlds unless you live in the desert. 500 is a bit too big to really get anything out of all that power on tight single track

>>28485517
looks like a heavily modified vulcan

>>28485402
business as usual

>>28485515
>was a terrible idea


why anon? too heavy to offroad comfortably?

>>28485550
The intent was a travel bike that would be ok on not maintained roads or forest service roads. Never went into it wanting a dirt bike so don't try that angle.

every day, rain, shine, sleet or snow this no-bike faggot is ready to make a thread. "make your own thread" the newest of faggots exclaimed. You got 4 fucking minutes MAX to make a thread before this sleepless FAGGOT copy pastes another reddit thread fucking stale xunt RIP INDIAN

Found a damn near exact match for the matte navy blue

>>28485571
All the white pieces done in the navy blue. Tank and front fairing in the light blue.
I think it would look good.

>>28485461
>passion

The silver vinyl has finally arrived.

But that's for another time, maybe next weekend if I have the time, though I could easily see this taking way longer than expected and turning into a week long endeavour of me picking away at just one piece per day or something. Also I really don't want to fuck this up, the vinyl is expensive-ish and I've not done this before, dealing with the vent is gonna be interesting, as will be the holes for the sliders. I may just pull off the fairings to do it on my table instead and make things a bit easier on myself, not in a big rush either way.

>>28485390
Need this bike

I wonder how many smart asses have camped under that sing.

>Seen two people riding some nakeds today
I want an excuse to hate them, but riding something is better than nothing

My only bike is a DR650
I love it, but want something more touring/road biased as well
Should I go with the tracer 9 or africa twin adventure sports es

>>28485580
i want to wrap my bike too, post pics when you do it so i can take note

>>28485620
Both great bikes good taste anon. Tough pick

>>28485611
lmao

>>28485620
Keep the DR650 for offroading and get the Tracer. AT would be too much overlap.

>>28485626
I had the same thought

>>28485621
Oh there'll be plenty of pics.
I'd look at CK wraps on yt for vinyl wrapping tutorial videos.

>>28485611
whats wrong with naked?

Went to a demo day for the first time today. Rode a v100

>>28485635
hate the bug/alien stuff, they're ok when they're more standard like a sportster or utilitarian even robot is tolerable

I feel bad, between weather and family bullshit obligations I haven't ridden in 2 weeks. I did just get a Quadlock setup on sale at a local event though, seems like it should be a nice addition. Hopefully I can ride in the next few days.

>>28485390
I don't think ADVs are really a young man's anything. I want one as well as a cruiser but I'm pushing 40.

>>28485639
I'm with you there. Single or dual round headlight is peak, and so are smooth curves if the bike has bodywork. Bike design has basically just been on a straight downhill slide since the '90s and the only things that actually look good now are "retro."

>>28485636
was it good?

>>28485641
KLX

>>28485644
everything modern has the aggressive "go fast" look makes me pine for the 80s, 90s, even early 2000s

>>28485655
Yeah. If I had $20k burning a hole in my pocket I'd be first in line at the BMW dealer for this thing, just because it's one of the only really capable modern bikes that doesn't look like something shat out by an AI that had been trained on Gundam pictures.

>>28485663
>trained on Gundam pictures
Ha ha, yeah, fucking nerds. Apropos of nothing, what offroad capable bike would you say most looks like a Gundam?

Mine

ADV, Enduro, and Dual sports seem like a waste if you never plan to go off road. Like a daily commuter bike

>>28485667
Ibex 450, hands down. Even the color scheme is kinda mecha-ish and the "face" looks straight out of Neo-Zeon or something. It's got that busy look that makes it seem more like an AI imitation of a mecha than an actual thing from Gundam though. I'd say the T7 probably wins out of non-chinkshit bikes.

>>28485668
I like your tent

>>28485646
Its not for me. Maybe i could get used to it but it felt too heavy. The front brake had a lot of take up then it was like a switch made it very hard to modulate. The clutch engagement was at the very beginning of the pull which didnt work for me. The throttle felt like it didnt do anything for the first bit of twist made it hard to take off. Im not a great rider but Im at least somewhat confident on my own bike the v100 made me feel retarded.

>>28485670
Everybody who buys them does PLAN to go off road. It's just that a lot of them rarely/never end up doing it. After having a dual sport for a few months myself I'm realizing that I probably don't need a super capable bike like a T7 when I move up to an ADV, I enjoy exploring random forest or fire roads but even on the dual sport I don't really have the balls to go deep on an actual trail when I'm out of cell service and hours from help and I'm definitely not gonna want to do it on a big heavy ADV.

>>28485678
ADVs are just gravel road street bikes. A bike that will get you to a camp ground.

>>28485670
The good thing about dual sports is even though you might spend most of your time on pavement, you can explore back dirt roads, class 4-6 roads, trails, fire roads, whatever
I like having no restrictions and being able to go anywhere, just take turns on a whim and see where it goes

>>28485676
Thank you very much. I like it a lot

>>28485580
Neat, keep us posted

>>28485663
It's also a lot bigger than it seems. Think stripped R1200GS

>>28485668
why so high?

>>28485524
Thx

>>28485680
Yeah I think that's basically all I really want.

>>28485668
>FORZA

>>28485678
>>28485681
maybe I'm just overthinking my first purchase too much

fucking god it's been almost a month since I last viffed
I love this bike so much no joke buying it was the best decision I have ever made

>>28485712
Ah, are you in the market? I don't regret my dual sport, even if I'm not going off road as much as I hoped to (still doing some, but pretty mild stuff) it's good training for riding tall bikes, it's light enough that I can muscle my way out of some possible drop situations and pick it up easily when they do happen, and gives me a lot of confidence that I wouldn't have on a bigger heavier bike, or a more road-oriented one, like I'd be way too chicken to even go on some of the abandoned forest roads and stuff on a starter ADV.

>>28485726
yeah I'm sold on buying a bike, a beginner friendly daily rider and I don't want a repeat of the moped I bought that I really hate and don't trust my life with

>>28485726
>>28485739
What he said, plus a short time on a dual sport will tell you pretty quick what direction you want to move in terms of your next bike

I vëëfed around three days this week... but it is a guaranteed nut boiler in traffic so I'm taking a different bike to the fireworks tonight.

>>28485721
VFR Chad, I kneel.

150 miles on the day so far, more to go, Malibu is beautiful. I love riding in California so much. Yuerba Buena Road is fucking scary. I love motorcycles so much, good day to be alive

The stock exhaust on the Ducati ain’t all too bad, sounds kind of like an in-line 4 at high rpm.

>>28485721
>THE FAST STICKER

Well, dropped my new bike for the first time today.
About, I don't know, 6th time I've ridden, and was proud of myself for driving in traffic and doing well at all the stoplights and stop signs.
And then, back in the parking lot, got off, and... forgot to put the kickstand down. Dammit. Couple guys made fun of me while I stood there trying to burn it into my brain: never forget that again, idiot.

Good news is it just rests on the rear rack when it's on its side. But yeah, this is definitely an adjustment coming from driving a car. You have to remember everything.

>DUCATI

I'm hitting the twisties tomorrow.

What bike do I take, dbt? Zx14, zx6r, or gsxr750?
I kinda want to take the 14, just because it's fun to have a challenge and I'm ready to waste what's left of the rear tire.

>>28485891
isnt the zx14 a little bit overkill for the twisties lol

>>28485927
Yeah and it's a boat, that's why it's challenging kek

I took it out there once with my gf on the back. That was sketchy ripping through there like that.

>>28485891
what kind of twisties we talking?

>>28485891
Whichever one's been sitting idle longest.

>>28485970
>>>/reddit/

>>28484984 (OP)
my Yamaha is revving between fast & slow, wish it were a steady idle, what could it be, a vacuum leak?

Toss up between the 14 and zx6

>>28485981
that passes for "twisties" in america?
really?

>>28485970
good one tho

>>28485979
could be anon. is it carb or efi?

>>28485343
>>28485409
I am pretty sure that it's a Zongshen RX1 200cc bike, Mexico usually changes the brand names over there when importing them, the Italika brand usually has a lot of Loncin bikes rebranded or made depending on what they ask to em.

>>28485970
adobo

Currently on a 2011 CBR1000rr - it was my childhood dream bike etc but the lack of electronics and position is starting to get a bit draining as I get older. Do any anons have experience/opinions on:

>BMW S1000r
>Yamaha MT-10
>Kawasaki Z1000r/Z900r

Also, the ones I can afford are all around the 2014-2016 models second hand

>>28486011
s1000r or rr?

>>28486003
carb

>>28486017
I want a naked bike for the riding position

>>28485990
Yeah man. At least here in the Texas. We don't have those nice right hair pins that I see in Europe. It's all flat down here

>>28486021
just double checking anon, because some people confuse them (somehow)
s1kr was fun and comfy, but newer models are way too techy, I ended up getting rid of it after 6months dailying it because they just put too much tech in (for my liking), but a lovely bike none the less

>>28485620
Triumph Tiger 900, Rally one if you want it for a more focused offroad. But if you are going for only road/touring, then maybe a chopper will be more up your alley for long rides being comfy.

>>28486011
If you want comfy the Z900RS is the way to go.

>>28485791
I love visiting LA for riding, once you get out of the city it’s so nice, can’t wait to set aside the time and do a big trip to the bay some day

>>28486029
what year? I just wanted stuff like a quick shifter and abs

>>28486049
Enough power to be fun? Is there much difference from the Z1000?

>>28486019
oh yes it could be a vacuum leak or the carb

>>28486067
Yes it's still over 100hp. It's down on power a bit but you get more torque due to the tune.

>>28486085
>>28486067
Z900RS is good

>>28486050
I'm glad as fuck not to live in LA anymore, but I do really miss the roads. It's weird because the area I live now is even more mountainous but they somehow managed to make even the mountain roads pretty straight with just the occasional sweeper.

>>28485806
The only way to win is not to play, and we don't even try to play the bullshit games other kinds of bikes get all circlejerked up in.

>>28486101
That's such a cool bike. I really like the z900rs. Sat on one several different times at the the dealership and it felt really nice.

Hello anons, my baik had high idle in traffic, around 4000 RPM, pulling in the clutch did nothing. It just got stuck there. Throttle seems fine.I shut it off and started again, no issues. Thoughts?

>>28486011
Why not take the ADV pill? GS, AT, VStronk all are waiting for you anon.

>>28486199
we're you in neutral when you pulled the clutch in?

should I put highway bars on my adv bike?

I bet every time bakerXderek edits a chunk out of a video it's because he said nigger. He seems like a guy who probably says nigger a lot. Not even with any meaning behind it, he just sits there in his helmet enjoying the way the word feels coming out of his mouth and the way he can say it with nobody hearing him when he's at speed with a helmet on.

>>28486172
Thxm8, yeah they are definitely fun. I think one youtuber called it a "thug in a suit" which is about right. You don't buy them purely for performance, but they rip and very few bikes can compete in the retro styling. Allegedly Big CC is making 200 HP out of these on a humble 7-8 pounds of boost with their turbo kits as well. So if you want to go full retard, you can.

>>28486205
If he's not going off road a naked sport or a sport tourer will be a lot more fun.

>>28486226
I heard a few years back the on/off throttle was jerky on stock mapping due to emissions. Did they ever fix that or is a reflash suggested?

>>28486199
Have you checked your throttle and clutch cable tensions?

>>28486205
Ive been looking at Africa twins online but I just dont think its my style

>>28486011
>lack of electronics
I didn't notice this early. IDK about the Z900 but the RS has basically no tech onboard. You get KTRC (3 traction control settings) and ABS and that's it. No cruise control, no ride modes, no quick shifter. I can't ride for shit anyway so none of that bothers me, but yeah if you actually want some tech this is is not your bike. It's even a cable throttle. I think even fucking Harley Davidson doesn't make that shit anymore.

>>28486232
It's definitely still true, at least it was on my 2024 so I assume the same for current year. An Ivans/Brocks/2WDW flash will fix it.

>>28486238
(different anon)
That actually sounds more appealing. I've gone the teched out bike route and it's overrated. Almost none of it is useful while in motion.

>>28486238
My current bike doesn't have ABS or traction control, about once every few months I lock my brakes and its fucking scary

>get job at Honda Dealership
>moving a goldwang for a floor refresh
>my boss asks me if I've ever ridden one
>no
>asks me if I wanna
>yes
>bike hasn't really moved for a month so he tells me to take it out for a ride
>really like it
Shit bros. It's preddy gud. I'm obviously not going to get it as a new salesman making new salesman money, but it does make me excited to talk about it when a boomer comes in to look. I don't know if that was the strategy of my boss, but it worked if it was.

>>28486241
>everything you need, nothing you don't
For someone like me that doesn't ride that hard, ABS and TCS is more of a safety feature and not a performance thing.

>>28486239
>The dual analogs called
>They miss you and want you to come home

>>28486241
never owned a bike with either, how shit of a rider are you if you cant figure out how hard to brake?

>>28486235
Take a test ride senpai. I'm planning to move to adv after my sports bike.

>>28486258
Honder is love, love is Honder.

>>28486241
That's too frequent. Get a bike with ABS retard.

>>28486272
>Take a test ride senpai.
Not many Honda dealers do them. None of the 3, including the one I work at, in my area do them. Best hope is the demo truck will come to your area and you haven't missed it for the year. Most should let you sit on them, but that's as far as it will go. It's common for other brands, Yamaha and Harley are the ones I know do a lot, but it's just not common for Honda. Sucks that's the way it is, but insurance and stuff is a pain.

>>28486263
Those are some nice clocks.

>>28486264
>>28486276
I filter in traffic for like 30 mins each morning, people swap lanes without looking what do you want from me

>>28486309
Same here, just dont be retarded. Take your bike out and practice emergency braking if you have that much trouble with it.

>>28486335
I'd pay money to see the whole video

>>28486309
I want you to filter slower, dumbass

>>28485580
Nice. I'm experimenting with this little orange piece to see how it stands up to the weather before I go all in

>>28486303
Yes, more bikes should have them. Preferably without the shitty screen in the middle.

>>28485522
it looks great, its my favorite bike here

>>28485663
i have also been configuring this bike for myself yesterday hahaha
22k and its mine, maybe in a few years

>tach says "LOW" with a battery symbol
>"hmm, my battery is good... weird"
>read owners manual
>the fucking tach has its own little battery and to change it i have to remove the headlight and the tach itself

explain to me why they do this
the bike has its own electrical circuit and is producing electricity when its running
why does the fucking tach need its own little battery?
the people at KTM are smoking crack

>>28486385
maybe something to keep your settings in case the battery dies?

>>28486385
i think thats the one that keeps the ODO info lol

also first for FABIO

>>28486057
you can get those on the 2017 model without all the other tech stuff like colored dash etc.

>>28484984 (OP)
am I just gonna waste money if I buy a 200hp ADV and just drive it around my town?

>>28486448
It’s gonna be another Marquez brother snoozefest
Motogp sucks so much that even assen is bad racing
Japs have been getting utterly clowned by the pasta people.
At least moto2 has some real racing.

>pic
fucking gorgeous, mate wtf

>>28486444
Nope, the long comfy suspension is comfy. You won't feel bumps, your spine will thank you.

fellas i tried hopping on an adv, aprilia tuareg 660 but for the life of me I couldn't touch the ground on the other side, as in I wasn't even able to get it off the kick stand I'm 5 feet 8.11 inches, am I genetically locked out of advs? kek

>>28486582
theres many lower adv bikes
additionally, you can lower most of them with lowering kits (even though that fucks up the geometry a little bit)
youre not supposed to gt down on both sides, its enough if you can flatfoot it on one side while having your ass sliding down a little.
can you tiptoe on both sides when you sit on it?

>>28486582
Try one leg down, also try the other ones, GS, Transalp, T7, some of them come with factory lowering options, Himmy has the lowest seat height, but its weak in power desu.

>>28486528
Desu ne? Nip women are cute.

has your bike ruined speed for you entirely? like now I don't even care how fast my car is, as long as it can reach highway speeds eventually

the fastest Civic is still slow compared to my crotch rocket, so I may as well save $10k and get the lowest level trim that isn't trash

>>28486582
people are gonna give anecdotal evidence that short people can ride these bikes, but I'd caution you

I'm 5'9" and struggle with a lot of bikes. I can technically get onto taller bikes, but that's on dealer floors. trying to get onto a T7 or Tuareg while on uneven ground? I'm definitely dumping it eventually. even my T9 in the low position, there's still times it feels too tall

>>28486258
>I'm obviously not going to get it as a new salesman making new salesman money
you realize they've made Goldwings for longer than you've been alive, and because they're Hondas you can buy one with 100k miles that is still being broken in? and best of all, they're mainly owned by middle aged or older men, so they're taken care of? you can probably get a decent 2000-era model for $2000

>>28486598
My 300 can keep up with most cars on road in my country lol. 600 is going to be a legit rocketship.

>>28486582
I'm 5'10" and I manage fine with this tall bike. You just put one foot down and lean the bike a little bit. After a couple rides you figure it out

>>28486604
I'm so jelly you stupid yanks can get a goldwing for $2000.

Goldwings with all the fairings and shit removed look neat as fuck tbqh

>>28486607
I spoke before actually checking local Marketplace. seems like they're closer to $3000 USD for a 2000s model

I think that Fortnine video inflated the Goldwing market

Poast katana, the mythical creature.

>>28486343
haha thats nice of you, in my signature you can see my skype handle, feel free to add me there, I can show u the whole video

>>28486608
What would happen if Honder made an AT with Goldwing engine? Take a huge shit on BMW's face when they are asleep when making GSes in Chyna?

>>28486258
10/10 would tour all 50 states with.
>>28486430
Knowing how these systems work, that's likely the case.
>>28486582
ADVCharlie is 5'3 with a 790 Adventure... Sounds like you need to suck it up.
>>28486594
I'm moderately tempted to lower mine with a spring kit (the f800 are under sprung from factory).
>>28486598
No, I feel more able to slip through traffic on a bike though. Zipping around cars driving slow in the mountains is great.

>>28486621
the AT is already barely capable of offroading with how pigfat it is (unless you know what you're doing)

there's also a reason most dual-sport ADV bikes are twins

>saw a naked BMW while out on Sunday errands
I am seeing naked bikes everywhere lately

>>28486594
>>28486606
that's the problem, I genuinely couldn't get the "momentum" to stand the bike from the left foot to the right one so that I could't flip the kickstand, it was simply too tall, I'm sure I could probably swing my leg with practice but that was a demo bike and I didn't want to domino the entire dealership

>>28486601
maybe a mix of leg length/inseam plus tank/seat shape?
But the thing is the tuareg has a very narrow seat and I couldn't

Since supermotos/enduros are basically on the same kind of suspension/geometry I can't touch on those too

>>28485721
We will never have a viffer again, no gear driven cams ever again, Viffer was end of an era.

>>28486631
i forgot to add, would boots give enough of a "height boost" to be able to touch?

>>28486582
5'9 here i have only ever riden tall bikes. A DRZ400 and now a T7. You have to get used to sliding off one side of the seat to get 1 foot down when stopping. On pavement it is easy on actual terrain it can be a bit tough. Need to think ahead and be aware of the slope where you are stopping

>>28486625
If anyone can make it happen, its Honda, either reduce the displacement by half or, chop to two cylinders, It will be glorious. We need Honda to start flexing their muscles again. Suzuki stopped doing it and they have become atrophied.

>>28486632
>no gear driven cams ever again
Urals are still gear driven.

>>28486640
not desirable. Its like telling Toyota Previa is mid engine, but it means nothing.

>>28486631
>could't flip the kickstand
Bro what inseam do you have? Sounds like you got some short ass legs.

>>28485793
>sounds kind of like an in-line 4 at high rpm.
