I have to poop

Luv me Ural

Duck life.

Ok now that crf450rl is kill, do i get the zx14r and become a hasbike again or do i devote my time and emergy into begome motorcycle healer again

Swear to goodness i saw these two in canada this weekend, but on harleys.
Same exact figure on the lady, same manlet bearded dude

>>28552906
I want one so bad. Haven’t seen any pop up on marketplace near me and I’m far as fuck from any dealers.

Why are there so many christian oriented bike groups. The two don't reslly have anything to do with each other

>>28552928
Multiplication through division has been one of the most interesting features of the transition from apostolic christianity to the more organized religion as we see throughout the age
Its ok, we have 1000 years to learn properly what it means to have fellowship and worship Creator God, Himself leading the example and also being there for input and croticism
As per nicean creed guy last thread, yes there are a great many historical grievances involved when some dickhead suddenly decided to coopt and subvert Gods Grace for his own vain pursuits of power- all doctrines and dogmas aside, these historical grienvances have led to generational consequences

Why not just get an old bmw with a sidecar?

T7 has a pretty thin seat, does her ass just completely eat it?

>>28552924
There's quite a few of them for sale nearby me for dirt cheap, like this beauty for 650 bucks.
I also know a guy who has a bunch of these that he's willing to part out or sell to me for pennies.

>>28552936
>Why not just get an old bmw with a sidecar?
Those are cool as fuck too but I absolutely love soviet-slop for the aesthetics (and I think it’s hilarious to buy communist slop using my capitalist gains).
I dream of riding down abandoned forest roads on an Ural with my tula SKS on my back

>>28552899 (OP)
fag

Should I buy Ural as my winter project bike?
I won’t be able to do anything else anyway.
I can wrench it in my living room. I’d buy something more special like SXR400, but I’m afraid there are no parts for it.

Genuinely asking are Urals even worth restoring?

Very very based. 650 for any usable frame is a steal honestly

>>28552987
Did he died riding?

I wonder how many victories the r6 had in MotoAmerica during its last year because the R9 won 8 out of 10

650 bucks for a complete bike.
Engine spins, no idea if it starts (it will).
The beauty of Soviet bikes, aside for their obvious looks, is in how rudimentary and simple their designs are.
There's absolutely nothing complicated in them and you can get them to run with just hopes and prayers basically.

They do have their issues, but they also have a lot of character which in my opinion outweighs their cons.

12x the oil change interval and then poof.
Probably just needs a new crank/con rod/piston/rings, is all.

>>28553118
I test rode one for buddy a couple weeks ago
Just find a bike that fits you, unless your disabled or cripple these things arent even remotely close to the baik experience

>>28553118
Are you the short stuff from before? KTM has a lowering kit for the 390 Duke made just for you.
Any bike can be lowered, you don't need to flat-foot both feet, tippy toes on one side is fine...
Even Bakuon did a whole series on this problem

>>28553123
No i did about 2 oil changes during that trip
I think its piston rings, but might just be a upset valve
Idk im not worried about it all that much now that it found way back to home base garagr town; lukcily i didnt get stranded in fucking nowhere, the event almost liquidated me on the highway also

Toured so long this weekend that before I had to make the final 130 mile freeway ride back home I projectile vomited from exhaustion
Gross but the misery made it that much more fun imo, can’t wait to do it all over again
800 miles in 3 days baybeeee

>>28553103

>>28553130
Could do that in 8 hours. Why did you take so long

Yeah day one back in town after 1.5 months of perpetual bullshit and unneccesary stress plus work fucking me over as much as i did that myself really lends to spare time let alone motivation to want to begin that right now day 1 after the fact
Just BACK THE FUCK UP and let me grief while i debate buy a zx14r tomorrow and resume the speeding tiggit timeline

>>28553149
I shouldn’t have said fail although that’s what it was. Like the other guy said the instructor didn’t give me the certificate said I would have to come back

>>28553162
no, thats not a fail
you cant fail a CBT
you can end your course incomplete, but that is not a fail

>>28553192
okay but are you a euro or brit?
if youre brit, we got a few guys that might be able to help if youre local (1-2 hours ride)

>>28553118
in my eyes this is just all the disadvantages of a bike and a car combined. safety of a bike but as big as a car aka cant park anywhere. worse handleing than a car but as exposed to the weather like a bike. fuel econemy of a car but need to stow in a garage if you don't want the value drop like a rock. You can cover up a bike really easy compared to this. A bike obviously needs less garage space.

don't buy this midlifecrisis of a toy and just get a honda grom or anything japanese up to 400cc.

>>28553118
Yes. You’re unironically more likely to injure yourself on one of these boomer machines as three wheels are terrible for corners. A motorcycle is a self stabilizing gyroscope. You don’t have to do much to keep it upright other than keeping it moving.

>>28553140
>>28553147
This anon is correct, I wasn’t just doing endless highway miles I was taking every backroad around. I was riding from wake to rest every single day with maybe 4-5 hours of break throughout the day. I didn’t have a destination to get to

>you can end your course incomplete, but that is not a fail
You have failed the course, the intended end result is getting the certificate. While not strictly a test you can still fail training. I have to do many training courses as part of my job, which also grant me certificates, and I can fail them.
>okay but are you a euro or brit?
He is obviously British because he did the CBT. Other European countries don't have that, they just have tests to get the A1 licence (or A2 or A).

>>28553287
brotha i have the chat logs, ive seen you bounding on it

>>28553294
"While the Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) for motorcycles in England is not a test with a pass or fail, it is possible to not complete it successfully in one day. The aim of the CBT is to ensure you can safely ride on the road, and if the instructor doesn't feel you meet the required standard, they may ask you to return for more training."

Why am I not interested in jap bikes in the slightest?
I just don't give a shit about them, at times I'm even disgusted by them.
It's a completely irrational dislike of the things because realistically they're the best valu for your money possible, they're the go to if you want a good bike that just works.

>>28553303
1 They're trying to seduce R3 (Yamaha gf)

>>28553298
I've actually done the CBT 3 or 4 times, I failed the first time at 17. Yes they can ask you to come back again, just like you can retake a test, but that is additional and you will be paying for it again. While there are not strict determinations for what result sin a pass or fail like a test you can fail to meet the required standard based on the instructors discretion.

>>28553192
Do you have to pay the full course fee again?
How hard is it (clutch control) for a nobikez cager like me here? Mine's in late September
Sucks for you as you can do it on a twist and go and still be legally entitled to ride a manual. Possibly an option, then just practice on your own time?

>>28553308
They also ovvertorque everything, give you bottom barrel suspension, and make everything to a price point.

>>28553312

OH NO NO NO NO NO

its not a pass/fail you spastic
you're clearly mentally deficient, fuck off

>>28552950
Depends on what Ural, but in general Urals are incredibly easy to work on, but there's some things like the clutches for example that you need to pull the engine out to do.
Some claim you can do it in place, but it's such a fucking hassle to do.
The engine is held in place with 3 bolts and you can pull it out with the transmission in like 15 minutes.
That being said, I wouldn't do it in your living room especially if you own the place, it WILL leak oil everywhere.

Dunno about the US, but at least in Europe it's surprisingly easy to get parts for them, even the ancient M72 models and they cost like jack shit compared to any other bike parts.

>>28553308
Modern japanese bikes even in the same price range are always adequate but almost always miss the spark that makes them something unique and cool, most likely because there are always 4 competitors making almost the same product.

>>28553324
That short bus in the back is the best description of the event.

>>28553350
Aside from the cfmoto ones which are made by europeans which ones? They all seem to be absurdly shameless when it comes to ripping off others.

>>28553360
>overtorque
No, JIS screws are made of a proprietary tin-newspaper alloy that galvanically forms red locktite when threaded into aluminum.

>>28553392
It's a shameless rebrand maxi scoot I see on marketplace. It looks neat and supposedly uses a Piaggio/Zongshen engine (real partnership). But when I look up the same engine cost for a Vespa 300gts, which is the same engine, it comes out to the same price as the scooter itself. I can't tell if the price is because it is a better quality engine or simply because the name vespa is slapped on it. It's probably built out of reject parts is what I'm thinking.

>>28553358
Nta, but it depends, if youre shite then yes. If youre nearly there the instructor might let you join another class at a reduced fee.

Its pretty piss, you usually spend the morning getting used to a bike, then riding round cones etc. Afternoon you go for a road ride. If youve literally never rode a bike before it all depends on how you take to it.

>>28553370
>spark

KTMs have that

>>28553420
This shit could happen with literally every bike though

>>28553441
Not exactly. You could rupture the fuel tank and start a fire, sure, but 690's have a fuel tank in the rear which makes it more likely

>>28553361
>bike lasts less than 7500 miles
>Famous Honda reliability
But it's an Enduro, so Shooms should open it up and take a pic of the oil jelly within.

>>28553118
Get a grom and have fun instead of spending money on this wealty retired people toy.

Pic unrelated its my Mt-07 with the ducky autopilot.

>>28553461
Not really, getting a hit on the rear isn't any more likely than getting one on the front.
You could argue that a lowsider breaking the stoppers of the handlebars resulting in rapturing the tank is actually more common.

>>28553473
I test rode one of these the day after test riding a street triple. Couldn't really get behind the mt07 after that

>>28553481
Never tried any triump moto. I got this used mt for the reliability and the easy power delivery since its also used by my wyfe (sheis a noob and goes slow af).
I confirm the yamaha starters being shit memes are also all true

>>28553481
Sad thing is these are all going to be made in China within 15 years, so the non-Jap SOVL bikes will be the "luxury" options whereby you redeem saar from India instead

>>28553480
Idk man, damaging the rear fender seems way more common than damaging a tank up front. I bang or scrap the rear fender on my 500 basically every time I go trail riding

>>28553489
All Triumphs are made in SEA and have been for years.

>>28553414
How much? I'm thinking of getting a scoot, but I find it hard to look past old larger displacement 2 stroke shitters. They're easy to work on and only need to get me to the shops. That'd be a novelty though

>>28553493
Street Triple 350? I'm implying the rest will follow.
TFCs are still made in Hinckley

>>28553501
ASSEMBLED in the UK, manufactured in Malaysia or whatever.

>>28553497
Its like $4200 or something. I'm not really up for gambling that much.

If you are looking for a smaller displacement, you can't go wrong with Genuine or Kymco.

>>28553506
Fair enough, it's no less than what someone buying one of them deserves

>>28553506
that just means they put the handlebar(s) on in the UK

>>28553506
That's how all manufacturing works.Assembled somewhere out of parts made everywhere.

Ironically KTM which always gets the "Lol indiashit" posts is one of the few european manufacturers who actually produced all their bikes in the price range above the 390 in Europe/Austria.

Oh and the japs mostly don't really produce in Japan either of course.

>Are Genuine still made by PGO in Taiwan? I think they may be using several China/China adjacent manufacturers now.

>>28553364
Get certificate = pass
Don't get certificate = fail

I don't get how you can't understand such a simple concept. The fact you can retake the course and try again is irrelevant, you can do that with any test. The intention of the CBT is to train you to be able to ride well enough to be allowed on the road, represented by a certificate. If you're not good enough you fail and don't get the certificate. By saying you can't fail you're heavily implying that everyone will absolutely be able to get the certificate and that's simply not true.

>>28553358
Some riding schools will allow you to pay a little extra (I think it was around £20-30) that will enable you to take the course again if you don't get it first time around. This will probably only apply once though, as in you can't pay £40-60 extra and get a third chance at it. Otherwise yes you will have to pay the full price again. If you've driven a manual car and understand the concept of the clutch you'll probably get the hang of it quickly, if you've never drove manual it's still pretty easy to understand and get good enough at but you might then struggle with changing gears and selecting the right gear. But it's a training course, that's what the instructors are for and what you're paying for. I think it's up to like 8 hours and 2 of those on the road, so 6 hours of constant practice.

That's different than the gas tank dragging on the ground itself while being in direct contact with the exhaust. 06+ R6s were known for burning in lowsides though because the tank sticks way out.

They've been building 790s in China for years

>>28553530
So what would you call it then? Two outcomes, one positive, one negative. One is the intended outcome, the other isn't.

I order parts from them all the time and the packages still say PGO on them so I assume so.

I'm a bong, but for that much I'm sure you could put together some mental 2 stroke 125 putting out that much power at fuck-all weight. Maybe even a Gilera Runner 180.

>>28553547
I've never had chaps. Sorry :(

>>28553526
There is a thick plastic cover over the rear tank though, all the cases where it ruptured seem to happen when it slides backwards into something, probably because it's part of the sub-frame and can't deform without breaking.
Abrasion resistance seems to be fine.

>>28553537
>2 stroke 125
We don't have those here, unfortunately. Only 70cc is the max I've seen you can buy locally (>>28553534). You can get the 100cc gas bikes but that's a different thing.

But still, going 70mph on a cracked out 70cc 2 stroke on the highway commands some respect. I hope the frame will hold.

>>28552110
>Crf450rl is officially kill at 11,500~ km total
>Just fueled up, went about 5 mins, engine flame out nd exhaust smokey might smell


So it ran fine until a few minutes after putting fuel in it and the exhaust had enough of a smell that you noticed it.


Gonna go out on a limb and say there's a non-zero chance you got bad fuel.

>>28553743
To build one like this.
Looks like it needs shorter forks, swing arm, fuel tank, rearsets, 17 inch front wheel, bars and seat.

just picked up a 1 person tent from a friend, its 0100 at night here so fucking hell its late already but my plan is solid, imma ride 400 kilometers of twisties and a few shittier roads, camp in italy or croatia for a night and then head back home the day after.

got all my shit:
>beeline moto2 (i will tell you guys how it went)

hey why are you saying that
thats bad luck

>>28553533
youre a retard, thats what

>>28553758
make sure you check maps and maybe talk to locals camping in either of those places, italy has a lot of wild boars, and we still have some wolves (and very rarely small bears) in croatia

>>28553675
Vibe, single cylinder

>>28553792
eh im planning to just pay for a camping space like a tourist
maybe i find some people who let me join their drinking at night

>>28553420
This is exactly what happened to my 690 enduro after some fucking brownoid stole it. Got burnt up and abandoned, by the time it got found in an impound lot the entire rear was crisped and then the city put it in a crusher before I was able to come pick it up. I'll never not be fucking mad about that incident

>>28553938

>HOW DO I CHANGE THE AIR FILTARINO ON A ZX14 THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT OKAY BROS
>Brake light change turns into a no start condition
want me to remind you how your retarded "toooooning" session went, where all the "numbers" in the ECU looked "low" and you can't make power like that so you just arbitrarily increased a bunch of shit and it stopped working? No hug boxes right?

Do you guys every worry about going to jail for speeding? I've been hearing the call to get another liter bike lately. I cant stop looking at them online. I guess I could keep it on a track now that I'm older. When I had a sport bike I never got caught but its a dice roll every time. Its a bitter sweet feeling that whats holding be back is I have something to loss if I go to jail now.

>>28554044
No but i jist finsihed fuel fiilter and prepped for oil change
Gonna go find valve shim kit and feeler gages and the new spark plug and oil and see what else i feel like doing, seeing as crash bars got THRASHED in my crashes(es) im gonna have to reweld that thing too, also find a bolt for the exhaust assembly
Right now im helpin fren do hia rear taillight and we were going over some shoomer assembly/maintenance chitchats and i had protein shake and cherries so thats also awesome
Im place 50/50 on it needs new piston rings or the valves shimmed

>>28554058
Clearly the voice that says "Glory or death" is not loud enough in your head.

>>28554058
Aint it a kick in the teeth knowing no fun is allowed by the blue gang?

Has anyone had side opening pannier boxes open on the road? Should I secure them with a bungee cord just in case?

>>28554068
ROGER THAT, HOPEFULLY NOTHING MAJOR.

>>28554058
No, because I know where I can and can't speed. Don't go full retard where there's cops, go full retard where you know cops rarely or never frequent, or areas where they can't be (stretch of interstate with a median barrier of some kind and no turn arounds for miles

>>28554058
This>>28554105 is pretty much what I do. Also, keep your bike registered to avoid a towing situation but you can always just pull the plate off.

What is the best project bikes with spare part on every corner?

>>28554154
Something like a GS500 or Honda Rebel to be honest

>>28554068
Shoom senpai, I didn't know you could wrench.

why does the SV650 make around the same power as an MT-07 but rock a 150/70 while the MT-07 rocks a 180/55?
Is Yamaha stupid?

>>28554176
>Hayabusa
More like HayaBUSTA

>>28554225
Because the SV is a gorillion years old and get converted to GSXR rear wheels to not have to find modern 160 rear tires every day while the MT07 is designed to be the shittiest bike with the most squid appeal possible which includes things like having a big boy size tire.

>>28553063
doesn't matter, is the old vtwins that matters anyway

>>28554225
It might just be test rider preference. The 180 turns in nicely enough.

>>28554058
Big dickplacement vtwin tuned for bottom end tork. Peak tork hits at 2.7k lol, 80% of tork available at 7mph and doesn't stop until 80mph then it runs out of steam by 100mph. The problem with 1L crotch rockets is that they lack balls from 0mph until 60, then they take off but anything under they suck. Big bore bikes are fun without breaking the speed limit

Name one reason to buy an SV over MT

>>28554294
Vtwin

>>28554297
Why would anyone want that?

>>28554308
Matches my balls better, front and back instead of side to side.

>>28554318
>Cant you just sprocket the leeberbaik for low end torq?
Same effect but not exactly the same, close ratio gearbox of leeber sooberbaik means losing all the fuel economy when you sprocket it too low

>>28554318
You're better off getting a literbike from the noughties when they made 160-180hp but still had strong midrange. Today they're all emissions strangled ayt low revs (Kawasaki, Suzuki, Ducati) or super circuit focused top end monsters (Honda, BMW).

1 Do you like Suzuki?
2 How many Suzukies do you have?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTWqm_mOgSw

>>28554058
Get a 150-250cc. It's almost impossible to get arrested in one.

>>28554347
Oh man
I have so many suzukis stored in ShoomerFantasyLand™, but unfortunately its limited access by my brain only

>>28554333
Yeah but thats a cost/benefit, its not like a crazy change would be necessary to see a performative benefit in that manner, i sure felt it on comparing the fz6 to the cbr600f4i
Also >>28554334
Brings up a good point; seems like 929r wins the kino of the year awar again, closely tied with vfr gear driven grand slams cams
Can you elaborate your emissions issue relative to a ecu flash etc. And still addressing the low end comparisons?

Also BROS i forgot to say a few weeks back that i saw a buddy guy with a picrel style helmet

>>28554373
This why you should never planned trips. Just wake up and go.

>>28554378
Boomer bike, you won't see it anywhere, any city, any meeting - there are none. Young people ride an MT or R7

>>28554382
nigga i started packing yesterday in the middle of the night it wasnt "planned" as far in advance as you think

>>28554365
Sorry, I forgot some people live in a police state.

>arrested for speeding
unironically impossible in most countries
europe is shit, yeah, but at least i dont get arrested for driving too fast

>>28554386
Mein nigga, that is enough time for those sky assholes to plan the rain.

>>28554361
Yeah a pipe and tune will definitely help the low to mid range, but then you'll still have a 100mph first gear and way over 200hp at your disposal, which won't help keep your licence alive. PSA: the undisputed king of mid range sportsbikes is the KTM RC8 R, go and watch some video on it and see if that's what you're into.

>>28554390
They'll arrest you for antisemitism instead.

>>28554400
unironically true
dont assume i dont know who has it better, im just saying - speeding, at least where i am, is a gentlemens sport thats barely punished.

How do you like my Yamaha MT-07 brother? It's Yamaha, and FZ, so it's the same thing, right?

>>28554428
are those the one with the cracky frames?

>>28554347
I have only one. Yes, Suzuki is love.

>>28554373
That's why you have rain gear, anon.

>>28554430
No, it's not a GSXR (which is well known for cracked frames)
GSXR stands for Great Shit Xth cRack

>>28554436
now lemme tell you something, the times where i said
>im a RIDER! i ride everywhere, with every weather!
are ten years gone.
im proud to say: i dont care about the rain, i dont like wet roads, i ride tires with great dry grip and shit wet grip, because i only ride in the rain when its absolutely impossible to avoid: when it starts rainind while i ride.

fuck the rain, fuck wet roads. its no pleasure to me.
getting wet is not the problem, the wet roads are the problem. i dont care for them

>>28554437
https://www.wildonesneverdie.com/cracked-frames-on-the-yamaha-mt-09-what-every-rider-needs-to-know/
it was the mt09, not the 07.
the mt09 has lots of problems nowadays with cracked frames

>>28554441
For a trip, you just have to accept that you're not in control of the weather, so you pack the rain gear. I hear you on tires with little tread, but aren't those usually very track focused tires and not ideal for mile munching?

>>28554378
Just get a Fazer desu

I damn near just fucking wiped myself out in the first 10 kilometers of my trip.
Corner got tighter and suddenly changed from the nice dark asphalt into the old, pale grey, polished one. Thought to myself "im sure its not that slippery" but the front wheel started sliding away. Managed to catch it, or better said the bike pretty muched caught itself working nicely beneath me with barely any input. Was going around ~80 kph.

Was the closest i got to crashing without actually crashing heh, cant see it well on the pic but there are those skiddy marks around the whole tire, and as you see not even that much lean at all.

Felt like the rear was also sliding, not 100% sure though.

Well

I'm unable to understand people who complain about a bike being "slow".
I rode a 50cc bike. It gave me the "Hell yeah!" feeling while barely reaching 50km/h.
I rode a 1200cc bike. It gave me the "Hell yeah!" feeling despite the lethargic initial acceleration.
I rode a 900cc bike. It gave me the "Hell yeah!" feeling even though I didn't bother to shift up from the first gear.

>>28554361

>>28554549
They're chinese 95hp, which is 50hp in Ameruca

>>28554593
Thank God I'm not an American, so here 95 Chinese horses translate into 71kW.

>>28554599
It's not a unit conversion joke, it's a "Chinese lie about product specs" joke.

>>28554347
1. Yes.
2. Currently 0, considering a GSX-8R. Was also considering a GSX-S1000GT+ last year but there were none in stock so I ended up getting a BMW.

>>28554549
I'd definitely take a test ride if it were available in my country. Its the bike that Honda or Suzuki should've made but its made by chinks.

>>28554606
>ended up getting a BMW
Which one? I'm excited for the new 450GS.

>>28554602
It's just a dressed up 790 Adventure desu, chinks can't mess this up. But, how the fuck are chinks making the bike that I want?

>>28554507
If your suspension and chassis is good enough, high speeds will feel like nothing. If you give linear power delivery, it will not be exiting, so good bikes will feel slow and will not be exiting, either the bikes need to be made shitty with injected shit feels or the person using the bike has to take it to exciting places. I'd rather do the later.

>>28554609

1983 Honda V45 VF750F Interceptor. Father to the VFR series. Made specifically for the AMA superbike races in the early 80s. Mines a stock 83 debut model and it's just the best.

They made 5k for the initial run and then more after that in 750 and different sizes. 500, 700, 1000. But the VF750F was the first homologation special made by Honda. You can find them for sale and they are fairly cheap even in good condition. Snagged mine for 2kUSD
