bro just accept it, its his thread, he can delete update and rewrite it as he pleases

>>28497901
Yeah in years of riding I've not had that happen to me
I've seen 1 video of it happening to people with off-brand comms (some comm set that has a cam built into it, cant remember the name but it was literally their review video of it)
It's not really like CB radios, but maybe if youre in a turbo active area?

So, a motorcycle general? One that occurs a lot? A daily occurence, some might even say?

>new user hasn't heard of SQTDDTOT
Thank you for baking, we should be paying you money, we don't deserve you, you don't deserve to deal with the drama, you are the only one that cares, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, for free, thank you. He just wants to see motorcycles, it's why he said show pics in the OP.

Anyone have the 2024 Tracer 9 GT+?
How is it?
Thinking of switching from MT-07.
First was looking at the MT-09 but I have to carry stuff and hate having a backpack, plus seat looks better.
No 2025 version because its only with gay AMT+ automatic transmission or whatever the f that is.

>>28497953

the map is obsolete. it festers as a scar on this general, a monument to division. to get on it, you have to email some non-op scribe, not the true dbt savior. this divides us into “mapped” and “unmapped,” shattering the core rule of dbt: absolute acceptance.

shut up you faggot

and have you considered not being an illegal spic in america?
I've met about 20 people across europe thanks to the map, youre just a spic

>>28497905
Can you please go back to baking?

>>28497982
NOBODY HAS POSTED FIREWORKS YET WTF

>>28497942
DAMN

Just got back from my ride through the ghetto. Last year it it was nuts, so this year I put a GoPro on my helmet. Wasn't as kino as last year, but I should have some good video edited up to post tomorrow. Maybe I'll even show you me dropping my bike like a dingdong.

>>28497995
>20 people
consider this, my daily bike thread brother, the inverse of those 20 people is the rest of the worlds population, that's billions of people that you are not ACCEPTING. The daily bike thread is a place of acceptance. Hence the welcomes in the OP and the lack of the obsolete map.

>>28497995

this is your thread my liege, whatever you say goes for you are the savior of dbt. thank you for letting us voice our opinions.

>>28498016
beware guys here we go again

Going to buy a fireblade (I dont care that theyre objectively the worst leaderbike, I just like them)

The only question is; do I get a matt finish one
anyone got experience with cleaning a matt bike vs shiny?

I'm bipolar, when I get manic or depressed I give my bf the keys. be safe anons.

>>28498006
I vote you put a link to the map, because I enjoy it every time someone complains that MapAnon isn't adding them and won't return their emails. We need to memorialize alk the Anons from years ago who are on the map and haven't posted in forever.

>>28497975
Customers want a T450 and T9. Not cracked frames.

>>28498024
Matte finishes look like shit and get dirty seconds after you clean them

>>28498006
Stays you faggot.

>>28498029
Stop being gay? This doesn't affect straight people.

>>28498016
please refrain from not practicing acceptance. it will be difficult but you will find that it will make you stronger. the map is obsolete, you must accept different cultures or we will be forced to request janitorial intervention.

>>28498058
How do you know there's 17 IPs since they removed the IP counter?
That implies you have more access than we do, i.e. a mod.
Which also implies youre the faggot tranny mod who maintains the map.

Experience or read it somewhere?

Yeah I'm aware of the exhaust situation, not much else fits apart from the Akrapovic they have for it

My white collar boss is gay as fuck and is practicing drag queen shit but asked me what motorcycle he can get as a first rider.

>>28498079
get him into adv, femininity isn't compatible with dirt.

>>28498079
bait him into getting a leaderbike, then go out for a ride with him and bait him into a crash

>>28498078
on-road, personal experience
off-road, word of mouth (from the fren that let me ride it on road)

so how is a map
that you actively have to opt-in to
and you choose to sign up to
and can have your location removed from, without issue
"fedpilled"

if you dont like the map, simply dont put yourself on it
we'll have fun without you - because we dont need or want you


it seems like a self-made, schizo problem to me
maybe the anons calling you a schizo are right
maybe its time to accept youre wrong - and post your bike

>>28498090
THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEEN SAYING

>>28498090
there will be NO map, or maybe there will be idk. its all up to 1 guy in the end, op, the savior of the daily bike thread. thank you op.

come to england and do RTTW instead

Tomorrow (well, today) is my birthday and I am going to enjoy my new loud pipe, bar risers, and marginally more comfortable lowered footpegs. I love my bike and am ashamed to have ever thought about selling it, when all it really needed was a bit of ergonomic work.

Just a little bit.

are cf moto a good compromise?
i know a guy with a 450mt and he is having a lot of fun with it going offroad, this one doesn't look bad and even new is very cheap with a lot of nice stuff included

>>28498372
Seems like they have reached 'not shit' status. They would have to be heavily discounted against jap/euro brands for me to consider though.

>>28498372
just get a honder

>>28498374
well i'm asking because i found a '22 one with <7k Km for less than 5k euros and they would take in my current bike in so i could probably get it for a stupid good price
>>28498376
a jap would be ideal yes, but at that price is hard to not consider

>>28498386
What do you have now? Just consider things like warranty, build quality, parts availability. Maybe plan to sell it in a year or two depending on how much you use it.

>>28498078
>>28497960
>unstable
Ive taken my 2022 Tracer up to about 120mph a few dozen times. They top out at around 140mph if you push it. The front end is light but that but never bothered me. Suspension preload setup is important. I've noticed when I have the electronic suspension in comfort I get more head shake when I'm doing "fun stuff". In sport mode the bike feels more stable. Luggage also plays a big part in stability. Its best to not speed when weighed down with the luggage on the bike. Though I have done it. One other thing, semi truck wake turbulence pushes you around, but that's more of a light and tall bike problem than a Tracer problem. Cutting through calm air the Tracer feels rock solid.

>>28498085
>off-road
Its not a off road bike, it will do graded hard packed dirt/gravel roads fine.

>>28498401
>japshit
You mean the most reliable manufacturers on planet earth?

>>28498403
Looks like it went over your head. When Japanese manufacturers started exporting cars and bikes to the rest of the world, people dismissed it as crap. But now look. Perhaps the Chinese will be a similar story.

>>28498307
>5'4", 130lbs, and that accent
I guess it's cool that they finally got youtube influencers in The Shire and all.

>>28498389
all of those aspects would be upgrades unless there are known issues with parts availability/bikes are known to have serious problems that require delaership trips (what i'm mostly concerned with new bikes that have lots of electronics vs current that doesn't even have liquid cooling)

Only bad thing i could find online is the tank is small so range is not the best but still ok for commuting or weekend rides (what i do with mine currently anyway)

>>28498401
Honda made the Accord here in the US in the early 80s. By the mid 90s, they were making a tiny ass but fun compact that killed you when you had to buy parts.

Maybe CFMoto is going to be that company for China, but even of they are, we're still in the early 80s phase, and they opened their first NA plant in Mexico in 2023. I'd gamble on their stock before I'd gamble on their vehicles.

Which of the big 4 do women actually ride? I know Honder is real popular because of shit like the Rebel

>>28498461
Honda because of the automatic transmissions.

>>28498411
I would wait for some real people experiences coming out on YouTube rather than influencers opinions, which are tainted by the week vacation to a warm country in a 5 star all-inclusive hotel, with a harem of Chinese hookers in their room.

>>28498498
well it has ride by wire and driving modes, abs is required so i guess standard tech level by new motorcycle standard? i got a quote for the silver one pictured that has the analog/digital clock with optional smaller lcd/step by step navigator

>>28498524
Decent first bike. Or if you're a manlet

I don't understand what do they represent?
It's not like Yamaha has two smaller companies

>>28498482
I would get the cbf500 if you want a bike that will last. The RE might be ok for a couple of years but long term ownership, you'd have to treat it as disposable.

This phone sucks. Screenshot took it from 6mb to 800kb

Noob questions incoming:

I’m too poor to justify getting a nice weekend car, so I’ve been considering a bike. (Already have my motorcycle license)

Is a 5-7k bike good for chilling/relaxing enjoyment? Or are all bikes sort of anxiety inducing since you’re always in imminent danger.

Also is a bmw g310gs brand new a good starter bike? I’m kind of a wrenchlet but have a big garage.

>leader bike

Fucking kill yourself, shitty low effort bait posting faggot.

>>28498530
It's to show you that she grew up in a male household, and explain her tomboy ways.

Just double checking before I make a big mistake, but for hand adjustable aluminum bolt with plastic heads on an adjustable windscreen, purple thread locker, not blue, correct?

>>28498090
Someone needs to fork it, not the island Mexican or the Indian though

>>28498592
I've actually been playing around with kuroba lately but I can't figure it out right now

>>28498637
If you are tall enough to flatfoot the 310gs, it's a great bike. It's basically a cockroach. I own a g310rr. Consider the cb300r, rebel300 and cb500 as well. G310 comes with abs so you are good. If you start on 300, you don't have to fear for life. Just budget for helmets, gloves, boots, jacket etc. Full gear.

>>28498637
$5-7k gets you a lot of bike. The g310 is nice, but I'd go for something cheaper and used for a very first learner bike, 90% chance you're gonna drop it at some point, and a brand new BMW is gonna be comparatively expensive.

All bikes need you to be switched on, but you don't need to be anxious, if you don't ride aggressively all the time, and you have a bike with a more relaxed riding position things can be very chill and relaxing.

At what point should someone just get a fucking car (or a Miata)?

Gold Wings are cool, but apparently 70% of new models sold are DCTs. combine that with massive fairings, a big windshield, and whatever else, you're pretty much in a car

>>28498712
When you need a car?

Listing for a museum quality 92 250 Honder Interceptor damn that would be cool to ride but shit to own

>cus you don’t even have one lmao
Thanks for the ( you )

>>28498712
They're for old men who are retired to take big road trips on. Minimizing aches and pains is a design ethos.

Reminder dbt is for motorcycle enthusiasts not turdies who have to ride babybike singles or ptwins out of necessity

There's no listing any 250s should I just bite the bullet and deal with a dealership?

>>28498712
A Goldwing still rides and feels like a motorcycle, they still make sense. But these Big Harley trikes, especially when they tow a trailer, those are what don't make sense.

>>28498756
>should I just bite the bullet
If you’re buying brand new it doesn’t really matter, but if you’re in for a used bike you should keep looking for anything under $3k.

>>28498756
what kind of 250? dual sport? babby crotch rocket?

if it's just for a beginner bike, pivot to something else. a brand new bike, even a 250, is probably pushing 5k

>>28498668
I’m 6’2” so I should be good. I rode one in a parking lot a couple years ago and liked it.
By cockroach I assume you mean it’s unkillable? That’s great so does that mean repair costs won’t be astronomical when it does need repairs?
I think the bmw is my favorite if all the entry level bikes, so as long as it’s a good bike, I’d like the bmw.

>>28498692
Honestly, I expect to keep my first bike for as long as possible. Just a chill bike. Don’t really plan on upgrading until my first bike dies. For that reason I’m afraid of the issues of a used bike. Like is it worth it to gamble 3/4k, when I can guarantee some longevity with 5/6k?

As for driving, I am no speed demon. Just want to chill. Ride on the bike and feel cool and free. So it sounds like I’ll have a great time if I relax and stay alert. Thanks

If you're 6'2 get a DRZ400SM, used. You have a big garage, if it needs wrenching it's incredibly easy on that bike. Any streetbike is really not made for guys our size.

>>28498809
Nta, but at 6' I feel like a manlet on a KLR. Would probably be super comfy for a 6'2" guy. Easy to find a used one for dirt cheap, too. Drz is definitely the better bike, thoughbeit.

>>28498712
a miata is for a small gay man
a goldwing is for a big bubba with his 125kg wife

Sam is a wide 6'4" ogre and he seems to fit alright. I hear the newer ones are more accomodating to tall drivers. Yeah, I looked it up because I think about getting one.

>>28498816
The R1250RS is like, the one exception. It's a big sport tourer and meant to have a more relaxed knee bend for the average rider. For us, it's just an average knee bend, not too painful. I shopped one and I'd need the tall seat and SW Motech pegs to be comfortable for over 150 miles.
>>28498826
KLRs are just so heavy that they make a lot of people feel like manlets.

theyre designed for ricecels and manlets, if youre over 5'9 youre too tall to ride

>I hear the newer ones are more accomodating to tall drivers.
Maybe the regular soft tops? I tried a friend's ND2 RF and it was undriveable for me with the top up and I'm only 5'10". My ear was on my shoulder to fit under the roof and there was no room to recline the seat, I would've had to crank the seat way forward and mash my knees into the dash to even have a chance. That was with the seat as low as it went too.

>>28498826
It's weird, I feel that way on a T7 but the KLR felt fine to me.

>>28498771
Consider the RE Himalayan too, you might like it and its more capable. 450, 411.

>>28498901

>>28498757
>>28498807
I’m sure they give a similar experience of being out in the open environment with your feet inches from the road but the actual handling must be more like an atv or something, I mean there is zero counter steering or leaning right? entirely different feel

>>28497902 (OP)
I don't know how to feel about this. >>28489852
It's heavy just being empty, It's large without having much space, doesn't have space for a water bottle, the way to slide a laptop in and out is bound to get old quick (roll top bag), and the only waterproof compartment is the laptop compartment.
I do like how it looks, and hopefully the strap system reduces fatigue, but I'll have to take on a long trip to properly find out.
So far nothing about this justifies the $300 price tag.

>>28498757
I think they're mostly for guys who've spent their whole lives as part of a group or club of Harley riders and want to keep fitting in even after they're not able to ride a normal one anymore. What's funny to me is that I bet a lot of those guys could manage fine on a smaller bike but instead they go for these trikes because they HAVE to ride a big fat Harley to fit in.

What's even worse is most of the time through the home-office-home circuit it'll live inside of a pannier. And if I ever go longer distances, it just gets strapped to the passenger seat with stretchy straps.

Getting a helmet you want is a good idea even if you already have a helmet.

Hmm, NTA but the manual gear shifting is obsolete tech at this point. An increasing number of high performance, enthusiast sports cars don't even bother with it anymore. Bikes will go the same way. You can't stop progress. Yeah, progress is usually gay and makes things less interesting. But you can't stop it.

I'm saying that as someone that drives a manual shitbox, actually my last two cars have both been manual. I ride a bike. I like shifting gears. But I'm looking at replacing my car since it's beat to shit, and even a basic ass manual hatchback is not even being made anymore in the US.

everything will be heavier and more powerfull than current bike so it's not a big deal, but i guess a big more weight means also a bit more stable on the occasional highway trip and it apparently uses really little fuel so it has good range for a little tank.

just logged 1000km today and is ready for the first service

It's been a while since I got my A2 license and for fucks sake I just want to buy my first bike already. I was searching last night and found a guy selling a Suzuki GS500 for 2000€, 28k km and it seems that it's in a good shape. The thing is that I have to travel to another island to see it by myself. In case that I buy it without taking it to the mechanic (the guy says he is one) what could go wrong? Of course I could go and maybe schedule a date with another mechanic, but what could go wrong with this suzuki?

THIS is how you keep from being doxxed

>>28503104
>>28499023
Pretty much any thumper will
But that comes down entirely to what kind of upgrades you want to put on it.

Vibration at 70MPH? Much of that are because of dual sport wheels, the other part of that is because it's a tiny motor. You can do some additional Supermoto upgrades to it to dampen it.

desu I like the vibration, it feels like a massage chair.

>>28502447
>WTF anon, that looks perfect, not to sound like an idiot, can we see the front too?
thats the front right there, i think i might be running it with too much pressure (unironically never checked pressure both front and rear since i bought the bike)

the shape isnt perfect anymore and i do notice its not as stable as id like it to be in corners, but well see how the SM2 compares

>>28503104

If its just a weekend bike, just look for a good ol' used jap bike, even moreso a dual sport if you want to go offroad as well.

>>28503129
The full flash doesn't change anything at the lower or mid revs, it just unlocks the top end. 70hp on a little bike should be an absolute blast on track.

>>28502911

I have no fucking clue if it's just what piss twin does since my first and previous bike was a 08 vfr

>>28503157
>doesn't exactly go away but it gets quieter
How quiet? Lots of engines have a slight tick to a point with all the lifters, cams, and timing chain. But if its unusually loud its a problem. Only a Yamaha mechanic will be able to tell you one way or another.

>>28503164
can barely hear it with my visor up
it's mostly at low rpm
idk if that's how it is while breaking in new bike before first service
the bike itself runs fine tho, pretty vibrational but I assume I've just been spoiled by a v4

>>28503170
>spoiled
no, it's and unbalanced engine that uses witchcraft to avoid exploding

>>28503170
>new bike
>barely hear it
>at low rpm
>spoiled by a v4
Its fine. First bike with stock exhaust? I'm pretty positive its the timing chain clacking against the follower. If it gets worse before the warranty is up then take it in.

>>28503174
the viffer also had it's stock exhaust but it just sounds and rides buttery smooth
I'll see if it still persists after the service
thanks for the help

>>28503150
probably normal, check the cam chain tensioner and valve clearance.
Does it make the sound in neutral?
Did you change the oil yet? Old oil makes more noise.
Lifter tick is a common thing among all bikes and cars.
All bikes will start to develop sounds as they wear in, and MT07 is known for the engine tick just like Kawasaki has tappet noise.
Just do the oil changes a little earlier than needed and you'll be fine, also use premium.

New thread when

>>28503182
>Does it make the sound in neutral?
nyo
I haven't done any maintenance since I rode it back from the dealership
installed the crash guard and side saddle but the ticking was present before that
it was a 4 hours ride home and when I checked the second day the engine oil was overfilled by ~300ml which I had to siphon out using a spray bottle
idk if that had any affect besides it possibly spitting some oil into the air filter
the xsr700 were shipped with engine oil so yamaha might have fucked up

Right now there's no more options wjere I live. I saw a honda cb 500 f from 2014 with 63k km for 2500€. I would like something used and in a good shape. Something that I can leave in the street as I don't have a garage

TF? If you can handle the vibes on a drz check your testosterone levels and go to a hospital.
