What is the best bike to ride when you're listening E.YAZAWA?

>>28521946

At the endorsement test and there's a zx4r in the wild

>>28521965

>>28521965
Ask him when was the last time its engine was rebuild by insurance

>>28521968
That doesn't happen, you're stupid.

tire hasnt gotten me killed yet which is great, leaning is definitely still a challenge but we are getting there bros

>>28521972
May God keep you safe

>>28521965
>one of the most hated bikes ITT
I personally love it, fuck the haters.

>>28521975
You overpaid for a 400 just because it had an R in it. Always remember that.

>>28521980

>>28521980
400 that makes 90whp uncorked

>>28521974
lol amen brother

>>28521983
Regardless of your feelings on the bike in question, this is just such an insane sentence to read.

>>28521980

>>28521975
I like the concept.
This isnt 1967 when a 2.0l Toyota was making 54hp.
If I can get the same power to weight ratio between 2 bikes ill take the lighter bike everytime.

>>28521972
Tubby buddy?

>>28521983
My '87 FZ750 with the genesis 5 valve was 100hp.
90hp out of a 400 is more than respectable.

>>28522001
>>28521998
>muh ccs tho
Literal hellcat pavement monkeys

>>28521998
>Crazy what slop the consumers guzzle down nowadays.
This doesn't even make sense. It's the opposite of slop. It's a batshit insane take on a 400cc engine, at the expense of reliabilty. You could call it a pipe dream or a shop queen, but slop implies it's aimed at the lowest common denominator, and this ain't it.

REMINDER

>the original ZX400 was like 30kg lighter than the zx4shiteR

>>28522006
Just admit you're a manlet and the only reason you resent anything other than starter bikes is because you cannot flat foot them or control the twist of your wrist in a corner.

>>28521959
honda overlords aways looking clean

>>28521999
Amen brother

>>28522007
>uhm actually it's based to spend more on something less reliable that doesn't even make 100hp
You are all Marks and I can't wait to collect

>>28522001
unfair comparison. even comparing a 600 to a 650 is a crime

>>28522023
You're right it IS an unfair comparison because a 600 will always be more fun and fulfilling than those starter bikes.

If it has 2 wheels and in the same category then it's comparable you autist.

>>28522022
> Uhm, I don't actually want to discuss the bike, I just put words in other peoples mouths
Slow work day, friend? Hope it goes faster for you.

>>28522028
Don't pull your back trying to reach that far. You can play word games about the word Slop but that doesn't change the fact you're a sucker shilling a 400 for 10 grand

>>28522026
so you are telling me there are 600cc bikes that can get 180~200 horses straight from the dealership? thats what the other anon is referring to. 90 hp out of a 400 cc block? thats nuts

>>28522036
>90hp from a 400 block is nuts
So you admit you bought because of the gimmick of a overstressed small engine which is effectively a product that doesn't benefit long term ownership to the consumer.

If you're a paperstat autist then sure, it's impressive. However in the real world there's many drawbacks to its design principles. Meanwhile you can pickup a gsxr 600 or some other 600 and it'll run Laps around it while not breaking a sweat in terms of reliability and preformance
>heh is there a 200hp 600???
No because there's no need when 600s are as fun as they are out of the box

>>28522036
zx4r has 70 after tune, 50 stock

>>28522043
>t. retard-san
The inline 4 delivers 78 stock, that’s pretty damn impressive.

>>28522043

Yes, it's terminal. We'll probably all buy a Lotus later in life after our sons disappoint us by not getting into law school.

>>28522052
Thats only in the US, it hardly met noise emissions at 50hp.

The ZX4r is literally a motorcycle that Indians drool over You tainted-blooded golem.

The white man is who always stood on no replacement for displacement. You'd know this if you were actually white.

>>28522115
I beg to differ, faggotman.

>Oh you don't like having only 78 horsepower? Must be brown.

Let's be real though, if it's not 16 valves and 4 cylinders it's trash, that's like the minimum requirement. You're over here shilling these gay ass lawnmower bikes when you could have something of substance.

We finally turned into plebbit guys

What an awful fucking thread

>>28522127
More like your stupid ass fell for the marketing memes. You're looking at some shitty ass CHINKBIKE with chinkshit tier castings and dogshit welds, a heavy as fuck 2 cylinder (cheap) and you're shitting and pissing yourself. Raise your standards.

I have a bike with 750ccs that can only put out 70 horsepower and I love her. I think I'm gonna name her soon.

>>28522162
I think it's been that way for a while now. Plebbit is just a stop over for people too old or ignorant to care it's nothing but a dataset for Open AI. Everybody else came here and is just grumpy that can't see their own post history anymore.

>>28522169
>HOOG
Yeah, whole thread went to shit as soon as the z4rr haters showed up.

>>28522181
>with 750ccs that can only put out 70 horsepower
Based. Relaxed large displacement bikes occupy a special place in my heart for which there is no substitute. They have a quality which doesn't show in the specs.

Post pics anon.

I have an 1100cc V4 ~90hp work in progress.

As far as I’m concerned there are very few engine layouts that should exist
There are two appropriate ways to layout 2 and 4 cylinder configurations, nobody ever wanted six cylinders, and there’s only Vs above 8, except the W12 as a treat

Facts, packing that much power in such a small naturally aspirated block is remarkable to say the least. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying is the best engineering achievement out there but it definitely deserves recognition.

>>28522227
>my cucked compliance larp engine is cool
I don’t get it

>>28522200
According to some boomer forum lore I read, the engineering team at Honda that designed this engine initially intended it for a car that never made it to production, but when Honda Europe asked for an 'exotic, sporty' tourer alternative to Goldwing it ended up in the ST1100. Honestly I believe it. Every single part of this bike is hilariously overbuilt and I love it. Power/weight minmaxing weenies know not the soul of such a sturdy displacepig.

I saved this one from the scrapyard with over 70k miles on it based on the title, probably more but the original odo is long gone along with all the fairings. Been slowly rebuilding it into some sort of monstrous naked with a mishmash of 80s/90s Honda parts.

>>28522229
>budget bikes
wut

>>28522234
oh but dude, you could be riding around on a giant 2cyl generator engine with all the torque off idle, no top end and gearing designed for pulling tree stumps.

>>28522219
You left the I6 off and for that I cannot forgive you.

>>28522219

>>28522244
>Inline triples are interesting
no theyre actually trash kek, unbalanced, sound like shit, no top end. fundamentally its just a cost cutting measure, they can save money on 4 valves, 1 piston, 1 rod, some rings and still sell you a complete bike.

>>28522244
That’s Queens my friend

>saw a fag riding bmw ce04 yesterday
Opinions on these bikes?

>>28522249
You're wrong anon.
I know this all lines up nicely in your head and you think you have some sort of galaxy brain insight, but the I3 lends itself well to a motorcycle in many ways that have nothing to do with cost. Balance is something you engineer around and a CP3 sounds great when you're in the throttle.

I'm sorry that your ability to appreciate things in life is so constrained by the short sighted biases you've enslaved yourself to. It must be really limiting.

>>28522252

Did you know that in the 60s when Honda had an inline5, Augusta had an inline 3, Suzuki had some retarded shit like cube engines and Wankers, Yamaha had V4s?

>>28522256

>>28522292
If you like the electric scooter so much, just buy one anon. Don't come here seeking validation.

>>28522292
You're getting close, there's fundamentally only 2 kids of bikes. Cruisers and sportbikes. Cruisers, scooters, touring bikes, advs and dirt bikes are all cruisers since you are relegated to cruising speeds with them. Then there are sportbikes.

>>28522291
>wannabe r6

>>28522302

Well that shut him up.

>>28522299
I'm not seeking validation. I'm not pointing out how wrong and retarded you are, and yes I will be buying a CE 04 and it'll be parked right next to my F 900 GS which apparently also is a scooter by your logic.

BMWs motorcycles last forever. Most bikes do even RE. exception is KTM, Shitalian and Chink. I'd be willing to give non chink ktms a real chance.

F450gs will be a cheaper buy than nx500. Also, nx500 is slow and heavy and gay. Where are the spoke wheels? Honda made that nx500 a nerfed beginner bike. They should've made it more in vein of transalp.

thanks for the imput
i did a throttle body reset and just did the ini run because why not, and it worked well today afterwards.
took the gas right away as it should and went down to idle straight away when i closed the throttle.
its still not perfect. the idle wasnt perfect and i think there must be something off, even if it works normal while riding.

feels like its constantly softly "popping" when i coast, not full on backfire but slight popping as if its letting a tiny bit of fuel into the engine while coasting, and i think thats also the reason why all my dampening material was burned out when i got the bike.
i will bring it to the shop and have the mapping checked and have them read out the faults.

on a different note the conti sm2 is absolutely great, i did not manage to make it lose grip at all at the rear today, amazing tire i can really recommend it from what ive experienced until now.
gonna be interesing how long it actually lasts.

>>28522565
I moved over to pirelli because the last 5 sets of tyres i had before that were road 5/6's, every set picked up a puncture, michelin are a bunch of scammers, it was my own fault for sticking with them for so long, after picking up another puncture on the 2nd set i should have dumped them but i had to learn the hard way.

I’m in Mexico on vacation (don’t rob my house pls) (actually wait maybe that would simplify my life) and they have the sickest little bikes here
Saw an r15 on the way from the airport
Lots of enduro, dual sport, and small sportbikes it’s making me so jealous
>t. united states
Food is dank as hell here too

>>28522589
Great bikes

>>28522583
the new ones i bought i paid 350€ for, front and rear and with mounting on the wheel and balancing (i took the wheels to the shop)

>>28522570
I've been riding dirty for 4 years but no one lets you do test rides and such without it (obviously) which is just irritating.

>>28522599
>4 years
Jesus. I've been doing it for 9 months but that's because the DMV here is backed up until November and requires a copy of your birth certificate as well. Not real.sure what the point of all that Real ID bullshit was if they're still going to tell me I'm a undercover Mexican without a birth certificate.

Why are we shilling angel GTs ? The road 6 is a better tire. All around. The angel gt look like they slip like crazy in the wet.

>>28522618
continental anon is literally paying almost 400 euros for a set of tires, just compare that same price to a set of dunlops or shinkos. yes dunlop anon might be having a hard time cooking that rear but still he saved 200+ bucks?

Why, yes they are, that’s the whole point.

>>28522638
i always said
>tires are not something im gonna try to save money on
and i stand by that.
i think most of the potential of the tires that im riding is wasted on me, because i dont ride as good as people who really fully utilize them, but to be honest it doesnt matter much to me.
what i do is
>check which tire is the best gripping one for dry, warm asphalt
>buy it
yeah they dont last that long and they arent cheap but its a sacrifice im willing to make to not have to constantly think
>maybe a different tire would give more confidence

Dude I thought of the husky immediately when my bike started bogging. And was able to diagnose the issue in 30 seconds by flicking the ignition switch on and off and hearing the fuel pump make a sad dying whine followed by the sound of leaking fuel back into the tank

Why are some bikers like this? I also laughed as he had one of those basic open helmets, but it wasn't strapped on at all, the buckle was just hanging lose, tee shirt and shorts

>>28522687
in all honesty i only buy the best tires cause im a pussy when it comes to trusting the grip
and i only buy the best for dry asphalt because i dont ride in the rain, fuck that
when i got my first bike i always felt the need to show myself how much of a "rider" i am, always riding even in shit weather, not anymore man
i ride when its warm and dry, thats it, fuck the rain

REMEMBER ME

>>28522591
>>28522659
I did 40,000 miles ish with road 5s and each tyre would catch a nail at the 1,000 mile mark. They're really good except for their insatiable appetite for nails.
I bounced around a few different brands to actually test what tyres are good instead of reading shill reviews.
In my collective experience I now use Metzler Z8s. I tried the roadtec 01 and the later SE variant but they liked to square off and scallop before the tyre tread ran out. I couldn't find any literature about any updates to the rubber compound from z8 -> 01 so it must be the same and they feel exactly the same to me. The Z8 tyre tread pattern must be good because they revived it in the roadtec 02.
I'd steer clear of any pierrelia or wtf ever they're called, none that I tried ever had a decent wet grip, tried the st, GT and GT 2.

Overall I'm surprised I settled for a 10 year old tyre model because I usually would buy the latest and greatest but here we are

>>28522580
get your own shtick, cunt

Outright Liter bikes are too expensive to insure but their sports touring cousins are affordable enough for me.
Is a literbike worth at least owning once in a lifetime? I mostly ride Twisties around 60 mph

>>28522705
I overnight parts from Japan all the time, plus pick up parts from across the border, never ever had a problem. Sounds like a skill issue shooms

You can lean down and forward on scooters too. Most of that video he's upright.

>>28522865

>>28522865
Lots of them. Honda has dct and e clutch

>>28522806
Jesus christ man this is kino

>>28522865
This is a terrible take and bikes have an entirely different method of operation for the manual transmission.

BUT

Yes, Honda has the very well designed DCT transmission which will suit your needs.

>tfw riding into the setting sun

What can be done to mitigate this, I already wear an adv helmet with a beak, a transitions lens and sunglasses, but if I'm riding into a July sunset I can't see a goddammit thing

>>28522865
Get something with an up and down quick shifter, best of both worlds imo

>>28522925
genuinely send it and pray

>>28522865
>micromanaging what gear i'm in
that's called riding a bike you retard

you don't deserve to ride if you're this retarded

>>28522933

>>28522925
Get rid of the transitions lens and get dark smoke visor. Then also get a helmet with the fold down inner sunglass visor. Run both and it helps. You could also look into category 4 sunglasses, they are for mountain climbing but they aren't as dark as I thought they would be.
>T. AZ anon

>>28522925
So you got a choice of I can't see (Staring at the ground) or I can't see (Staring at the sun).
I normally wait around and have dinner at work waiting for the sun to disappear.

Riding the highway on my drz was pretty sketchy. It's windy here and people drive like 85 mph minimum

>>28522938
>>28522948
You guys clearly have never done big roadtrips on your bike. It's a fuckign nuisance to have to deal with gearing, especially when going through traffic and cities after 6-10h+ of driving. The charm of "I FEEL CONNECTED WITH MY VEHICLE" wears off really fast when you put real miles on your vehicle.

>>28523030
drzs on the highway are fine as long as there are no faggots trying to go over the limit

>>28523031
you might be retarded if you have to actually think about shifting

>>28523040
You might be an edgy 19 year old that think it's so cool to have to flick through gears.

Most bitchmade post on 4chan. Idk how brain dead gorilla nigger retarded you have to be to find shifting a bother, only people I onow that dislike it are women that don't know how to drive manual anyway. Not even a masculinity thing it's just so piss easy you can't possibly be male

BMW R<whatever>GS is literally "overland + street" (Gelande Strasse). All the good ADVs can do it these days. The GS, Honda Africa Twin, Harley Pan America. If you want something more dirtbikey but still highway capable, the Yamaha Tenere 700. If you want an actual dirtbike, Suzuki DR650 or Kawasaki KLR650 or Honda XR650L.
