STRIPS
ON
MY
TIRES

here have another angle

>>28564840
i almost have to wonder what percentage of revenue from dealerships is from those sidexsides vs motorcycles when it comes to powersports dealerships.

>>28564848 (OP)
I liked my gixxers

F850GS is calling to me anons.

>>28564900
Ngl that's a pretty impressive shoop

>>28564848 (OP)
Should I bite the bullet and get this chink bike to learn to ride?
It's 5400 euros brand new and not too powerful since it's an A2 bike.
Or do I go with an nx500 that's 6400 euros in the current offer but that'll cost me more than 1000 euros more to have feature parity to the chink?

>>28564903
Get a Himmy instead. Used, it will be even cheaper, also you have budgeted for the gear right anon?

>ride to grocery store
>buy a package of ham and a couple heirloom tomatoes
>eat it while leaning against my bike
There is no better fruit than a local, in season, heirloom tomato

>>28564907
I don't take into account the gear, I'd be buying it too over the price of the bike, whatever it costs, but my problem is spending too much on a bike that'll surely will be on the ground lots of times, so I don't want to spend big money to end up with an extremely scratched bike in like 5 or 6 years.
And what is a Himmy tho? A harley or another bike?
Have into account that there's not much choice here in spain where I live, I'd honestly buy an honda ct125 but they won't release it in europe despite being licensed last year.

Dear /dbt/
I don't post very often, but I hope a few may remember!
Buying my R6 has genuinely been a huge positive in my life. I enjoy being out more, and made a bunch of new friends. Invited out to meets multiple times a week and one person is even trying to get me hooked up with a friend now.
A professional photographer at a meet last week even wanted pics, so sharing one of them!
Remember to be safe when you ride and be social!

>>28564892
Will you answer the call?

>>28564923
brudder.
It's an unusual feeling sinking to my shins trying to pick up a bike.

>>28564892
Wrong, the zx14r club is calling all hondas
>>28564920
You can be chomos replacement cause your photo doesnt change color meme

>>28564919
>And what is a Himmy tho? A harley or another bike?
Royal Enfield Himalayan, probably the new(ish) 450.

Speaking of the Himalayan, what do people think about the upcoming 750 twin version? Looks pretty nice but I'm disappointed they went low fender and I wonder what the price is gonna be, 10k gets you a Transalp or base V-Strom 800 so I assume they'll want to be under that.

>>28564892
I’m seriously considering selling my car and current motorcycle and buying a k1600, we have snow plows where I live and I have water in my garage to rinse off road salt every day

Been a moment since I've had a bike with disks, but was it normal for them to rust after a night outside and a small bout of rain?
I don't remember the disks on my previous bikes rusting this easily.

>>28564934
I actually met the previous owner a few times! He's a young guy, a bit inexperienced with working on some stuff, but he's a good guy. He's "respectful" of people. Just wanted to bump up to a GXR-1000. Can't say he is a chomo, but definitely a sport bike rider personality

>>28564935
It will be priced slightly higher than 650 twins, like 500 or 1000 USD more. Priced closer to shotgun or meteor 650. Definitely not 10k. If the 50% stays, RE might stop selling bikes entirely. Or, maybe they will open up a local plant there.

>>28564932
I hate the sand.

>>28564919
Royal Enfield Himalayan. I'd buy it over most Almost all chink bikes. But Ibex 450, the kove 800 and the Voge 900DSX make me reconsider china.

>>28564920
That looks sick. Glad that you are enjoying the good Yamaha bikes.

>>28564934
For me, no kawai-suck is calling, it is between Transalp, VStronks, GS and ATs. But I'm too poor for the higher end stuff.

>Decide to buy new bicycle

Damn, I wish I didn't have other priorities that would make getting a motorcycle seem unwise...

What habben to ktms next?

>>28564959
Everything will be a 390.

>>28564947
Is this from a rider's course?
I've been thinking about signing up to one but quite a few of them just seem... almost like bullshit larping.

>>28564961
Nein! They should stop cfmoto partnership.

>>28564963
Not him, but what do you mean?

KTM launched a competitor to this yamaha, 160cc KTM, WTF is KTM doing? Give us the bikes we want KTM.

>>28564963
I would personally suggest finding one that is relatively cheap and doing that. I paid 300 dollars for a 2 day thing and felt like I got my money's worth. It isn't going to turn you into an enduro machine, obviously, but give you some useful tips to apply to your riding and from which to start learning good trchnique and habits. The 3k+ schools that fly you out and give you bikes seems more like an adult summer camp. I don't doubt they'd be fun, but 3k is a lot to spend and I don't feel like you would get that value out of it in training

Bimonthly reminder that Honda won.

>>28564989
Indeed, I'd gladly use this in traffic.

>>28564950
>>28564935
>Royal Enfield Himalayan
I considered this, but the problem is that the only places I know sell this are around an hour from my house and I'd rather not spend more getting driven to my home.
I'd wish they sold more bikes near my home, but around here there's only lots of car dealers but barely any bike shops.
It fucking sucks living in a 5000 people town in the middle of nowhere, and I still live in a highly populated province, it would suck living in extremadura that there's nothing but cows and crop fields.

>>28564963
>bullshit larping
bro... I ride a GS and wear camo pants, all I do is bullshit larping
but shitposting aside, this was a BMW event/riders course, yeah. Was proper fun, especially since places to ride off-road (legally) are rare here, so it was nice to get to know the bike better on different surfaces and learn some techniques for some light offroad shittery

What do you have to offer dbt?

>>28564903
Imagine buying a new bike to learn to ride
Imagine spending 5400 euros on a Chinese bike lmao
Ngmi

>>28564989
I wouldn’t go out of my way to buy a Honda with the e-clutch, but I wouldnt avoid it either. Honda could have sold me an NT1100 if they brought the manual to the states or it had the e clutch instead of a DCT

Speaking of automatics, I’m cross shopping scooters for winter use, I don’t have a shitbike anymore so now I want a shit scooter for winter time. Thinking of the ADV 160 or a super cub. Any thirdies here with a lot of scooter experience who want to sell me on something?

>>28565001
I've seen some places you can talk them into delivery for free. Its worth asking about.

>>28564997
Shifting in traffic is a non issue. That's like saying you can't be bothered to wipe your ass

>>28564957
>tfw long time /n/ bike poster
>my favorite bicycle cost more than my motorcycle

>>28565016
You don't need to lie to strangers on the internet, not a single person on earth, even the most dedicated motorcyclist and technophobe, has fun squeezing a clutch for an hour straight in stop and go traffic

>>28564989
traffic and low speed is precisely where I wouldn't want it.
It appears to be like a quickshifter but not as janky at low rpms. And since the clutch motor is coaxial with the clutch arm and it's only got one pawl engaging it, the clutch can be operated normally as if the system weren't there at all.
I don't entirely understand who it's for. Is it for people that want a dct but without the added cost and low speed shennanigans?

>>28564989
Honda good
Eclutch bad
Throttle by wire bad
Fuel injection bad
Traction control bad
Abs bad
Never going to sell my vintage Honda

>>28565023
>fuel injection bad
nice bait, (you) got me

>>28565018
Bro I ride for a living in stop and go traffic, squeezing the clutch 8 hours a day. You just have bitch wrists that can't handle and you're not a real biker

>>28565016
Facts. It's just another tech-crutch for dipshits too physically unfit or mentally lazy to shift a clutch.

It's like these bugmen are desperately trying to make their irl activities automated like a videogame. It's not even smart Innovations like Hondas auto-balancing system which is actually useful for stopping without putting your leg down.

Fuck these fake ass enthusiasts man, they're so God damn corny and lame its embarrassing to be even remotely associated with them by having two wheels.

>>28565023
>Throttle by wire bad
I've come around on this one if it's done correctly. Things like ride modes, changeable engine braking, cruise control are things that I've come to enjoy.

>>28565024
>Sensor failures intensify
Enjoy your limp dick mode

>>28565018
NTA but I enjoy it in cars and on motorcycles
There are “people” out there right now who like to get stomped in the groin for sexual pleasure, the breadth of man’s preferences surely extends to “playing with the clutch in traffic”

>>28565027
>cruise control
Cruise control bad

>>28565018
>squeezing a clutch for an hour straight in stop and go traffic
do you people really not use pic related?

>>28565021
it's not a quickshifter, it doesn't autoblip.
>understand who it's for
it enhances both ergonomics and performance with no real downside as it can be disabled entirely.
>>28565025
>>28565026
and if you tried an eclutch you would use it.
don't like it? disable it entirely with a button press. Wow, what awful technology that's stealing our freedoms, we must fight back against the robots!!!

>>28565018
I really enjoy doing low speed practice for longer than an hour. For me its a nonissue entirely.

>>28565027
1 fuse blows
ACK

I like closed loop fuel injection for the record, but Throttle by wire is stupid as fuck. The 0-1% input will never be natrual like a physical cable. Also when a cable is failing its not a binary failure of its either working or broken. A cable will deteriorate and that feedback is something the rider can sense. Causing the rider to repair it. Meanwhile the tech-crutches will just get kicked out from under you and Goodluck sourcing those hyper specfic per model, intricate electronic components 20 years down the road.

Too many informed suckers with blown the fuck out egos just guzzling this shit down

>>28565033
>Heh just turn it off Bro!
You aren't too bright are you? Do you even comprehend the simple fact that you've introduced another point of failure into the machine disabled or not?
How about you just buy an automatic car instead, instead of being a cogsucker wireback sympathizer and polluting one of the last pure hobbies left.

>>28565035
>yper specfic per model, intricate electronic components 20 years down the road.
Don't forget to mention, made in China. Can you even trust that part will be available 4 years from now? How about 20? There's parts on Japanese bikes that are still being supported 50 years later

>>28564984
>$3k to teach you how to crash

>>28565038
Let's say you had a soldering iron and some skills to fix your electronics yourself in the event the crucial parts you NEED aren't available.

>THEY ARENT EVEN DESIGNED TO BE FIXED, THE POINT IS TO FORCE YOU TO JUST BUY AND REPLACE THE COMPONENT.
Bbbbbut it's so good bros! My gizmo is great cuz it never fail ever nuh uh. Nope they're indestructible.

>>28565029
Rarely happens, but you're regularly tweeking carb jets and idle screws. Electronic is unironically more reliable than mechanical

>>28564943
No anon, our local r6 who spams gay streamies and begs for fren hours and (((you)))s, you have replace that chomos
Now (((you))) are the chomo-sneedplex

>>28564954
Kawaiisaki only for thosw who love speed and have a need for sneed, like me

>>28565032
Must be skill issues, but stop start traffic is very gay sometimes

>was about to post that if bikes started coming with fuel injection instead of carbs for the first time today people would bitch
>scrolled up

You at least have led lights on your bike right, anon?

>>28565006
My little sisters niggered gs500

>>28565039
It's real and some of them cost even more than that. Dork in the road was advertising the one he went to which I think was closer to 4k. Though I may be misremembering

>>28565042
Have you looked at the used market lately? It's clearly a non issue. The electronics on a bike outlast the bike itself 9/10 times

>>28565036
>just buy an automatic!!
The eclutch is not an automatic transmission, it functions nothing like it.

>>28565042
Even if you did have the tools and skills, a lot of these new electronics are closed boxes with destructive anti tampering mechanisms, sometimes completely encased in epoxy

>>28565043
Consistent =/= reliable

>>28565052
>heh well if you look at da market
Short sighted retard, bless your soul because wow you gonna have a hard life.
>>28565055
>The Eclutch is a system that allows the user to not need to shift manually

>>28565062
>Laughs in a single drop of fuel stabilizer

>>28565043
>you're regularly tweeking carb jets and idle screws
No you're not, you set them once and ride.
You don't need to rejet unless you somehow change the airflow of the engine.
You don't need to tune carbs that often either, if ever unless again you've changed something.

>>28565063
See the difference here is that I don't have to keep a mental list of all the gas stations in my city where I can get gas.

>>28565065
What a silly false assumption, you do realize gummed up carbs only happen when you DONT ride your bike for a month or two.

Oh no, the idea of draining the carb bowl before storage is too daunting for the walnut in your cranium. I cry for your disability.

It's like none of you have any executive function or future planning when it comes to the shit you own. Life deteriorates passively, this isn't a fucking videogame where nothing breaks and if it does you can spawn in the fix it parts

>>28565062
that's no problem as long as you ride your bike
you do ride your bike, right, anon?

>>28565001
Oh yeah I totally feel you there, I didn't get one for the same reason. My city is bigger, about 100k (and 250k in the general area) but still too small for anything but the biggest bike brands (Jap big 4, KTM, Harley, and like 80% dirtbikes and dirt-related gear) and it's 3 hours over the mountains on twisty 2 lane roads to get to anywhere bigger that does have other bike brands including Royal Enfield. Sucks too because I think it'd be an ideal bike for my area and it's affordable.

Side note but what's really weird is that we don't have a BMW bike dealer despite having a big BMW car dealership, BMW bikes being everywhere here, and my county even hosting the national BMW bike club rally last year.

>>28565016
Ok for smol bikes but pull in heavy ass clutch springs in stop and go traffic is insane.

>>28565056
Absolutely.
This anon gets it, he's in the know.
finally a fucking soul in this board instead of the hoards of mind rotted techzombies.

Y2K was peak blend of analog systems with technology innovation.

>>28565068
I can still order a replacement fuel injector for a 20 year old ducati. We do live in that world, anon.

>>28565072
Working on it. Just gotta finish up some work and then I can take all those rides I have planned out and not just city riding. Just a few more days of working.

>>28565001
One two hours is nothing anon. How often are you gonna ride to dealership?

Oh its another episode of nobike tells us how manly he is for working the clutch on his nonexistent bike.

>>28565084
He must live in the middle of nowhere. He must not have experienced stop and go traffic. Like 1 hour for 20km.

>>28565084
You didn't do an msf course or the much longer euro versions did you?

>>28565044
I shall replace any cringe ass R6 posters

>>28565007
>Imagine spending 5400 euros on a Chinese bike lmao
That's quite literally the cheapest A2 trail you can find, and from a more reputable brand since they're an spanish brand that sells chink bikes and have proper warranty support, and this model specifically, or at least the older ones have a really good name for being good and reliable and if something breaks it gets properly fixed.

>>28565087
Why not lanesplit at that point?

>>28565080
A fuel injector is NOTHING comparable to Throttle by wire, the various advanced sensors that perpetuate their respective systems, etc.

Injector design has hardly changed aside from efficiency and speed of the jets.
>>28565084
>Imagine saying this without putting bread on his own bike
>associating the simple fun of actively making inputs to pilot your machine with... masculinity?
Sounds kinda gay anon

>>28565093
What if you can't? EClutch has its place IMO.

>>28565082
>How often are you gonna ride to dealership?
Probably once or twice a year, but I ain't riding 50 kilometers to said dealership, I'd get to a shop near me.
Have in mind that these chink or jeet bikes have service intervals of 5k or 6k kilometers, most people do those in like two months.

>>28565094
Unless the bike is some specialty made to order Arch thing or whatever, you'll be able to find a replacement for decades for anything that breaks.

where do you guys buy your caltrops? i wanna start fucking up cunts that follow 0.3 seconds behind me

>>28565087
Don't pull your back reaching that far anon.
>Must live in da middle of nurwere
Seattle. You know, the place with hills.
You know. The place that takes 1 hour to get from Seattle, to Seattle.

Keep them retarded gums flapping to cope with your soulless bug bike purchases and ill keep shifting.

>>28565084
>calling others noboke while noboke posting

>>28565092
Why not the used market?

>>28565099
KTM 390 ADV? Or any of the nihon used dirt bikes? I don't want you buying chink bikes.

>>28565061
>The Eclutch is a system that allows the user to not need to shift manually
Incorrect. You still use your foot to select the gear you want to be in. The bike will never select a gear for you.

>>28565108
I'll say it with my chest. You. Are. A. Retard.
>it's totally not an automatic bro, you gotta choose to go up or down the gear

>>28565102
If you ride a 929, respect. But I'll buy either the Honda or the BMW E-clutch. Hell I'll even buy a Maxi scooter. I'd get comfy on a burgman 650.

What the fuck is an eclutch anyway?
First it's egirls, now it's eclutches.

>>28565109
You still shift with you foot anon. It's a slightly different up and down quickshifter.

>>28565110
The blade is indeed mine and I daily it from magnolia all the way to Olympia and back.

Traffic, hills, chills, rain. Doesn't matter to me. It'll always put a smile on my face.

>>28565109
>it's not an automatic
Correct. The transmission is a standard manual motorcycle transmission. The clutch can still be operated as normal.

>>28565113
Its up and down quickshifter.

>>28565109
With a "manual" transmission, the driver "manually" selects which gear they wish to be in.
With an "automatic" transmission, the vehicle "automatically" selects which gear to be in based on friction or something.

>>28565056
>sometimes encased in epoxy! =O
Ya it's called potting dummy. It's for heat control and preventing moisture intrusion

>>28565116
Mental gymnastics. If you do not actuate the clutch then it is not a manual. It's a CVT. CVTs are not manual Transmissions and you know that you pedantic fuck

>>28565115
Glorious Nippon sex machine. They can't make bikes like these anymore. I'm a fan of rc51.

>>28565064
So what you're saying is it's ifentical to fuel injection except you have to make changes to it occasionally

>>28565122
That's the next machine I'm after.

>>28565121
No. A CVT is a specific type of vehicle transmission. It stands for "continuously variable transmission" and it uses centrifugal force to select the gear and does not typically allow the rider to select a gear.
The eclutch has none of those qualities.

>>28565121
You can actuate the clutch and shift with you foot. You just disable it if you don't want it.

>>28565105
Shit's utterly fucked, a 2014 cb500x costs over 4k, the macbor I posted with 33k kilometers costs 3500 euros.
Unless I'm buying a really old one I'm not saving much for the drawbacks from a second hand bike.

>>28565121
What are your opinions on clutchless downshift and upshifts on (non e clutch) bikes?
By your logic, if I clutchless downshift or upshift my bike, it magically turns into a CVT/automatic.
Are you trolling? You're pretty good, NGL.

>>28565061
>short sighted
You've got efi from the 90's still running just fine without replacement electronics.

>>28565131
And it's worth it IMO.

>>28565135
Hes going to make some excuse about how the 90s were better than today

>>28565107
From ktm I really like the new 390 supermoto, since I liked the new suzuki, but that's over 9k which isn't worth it.

>>28565126
>>28565128
Just because there's a manual mode in an automatic transmission that you can choose to go in or out of doesn't mean it's a manual transmission.

It's an automatic with the option to input the gear you want.
You dipshits do realize you don't pop a wheelie with your foot right? Let alone the vast nuances of clutch operation for riding techniques.
>>28565134
It's a manual transmission with a slipper clutch. The machines function will only slip when under enough load, it's not a mindless endeavor like your Eclutch (E-Crutch)
>>28565135
A closed loop efi system from the past is barebones and simple. It's nothing remotely comparable to modern day motorcycles and the various sensors that logs data such as specfic position of the Throttle, traction control parameters, adaptive electronic suspension, etc.

The components are no where near as complicated in construction as the new shit, which is why it's so much easier to repair and cheaper. It's an analog system supplemented with crude technology, not technology supplemented with an analog system.

You people are losing the plot.

>>28564920
>Buying my R6 has genuinely been a huge positive in my life. I enjoy being out more, and made a bunch of new friends.
R6 is a good bike but it's not THAT good, r9 can beat it and it has more usable torque and a TV screen gauge cluster. Also it beat a bunch of 2 cylinders at some big sanctioned race somewhere.

Might become a part time scooter now that I live closer to work and my route doesn’t have any traffic in the morning. I forgot about the ungodly comfort of sipping an energy drink while cruising down the road with the wind in your face

Tourist Trophy was the game that really bikepilled me though

>>28565157
>it's a manual transmission
Thank you, I rest my case. The e-clutch does not make a motorcycle an automatic. I am glad you agree.

>>28565172
More like it has been a huge positive as it got me new friends and people coming up to talk all the time
R9 is dumb cringe, inline 4 my beloved screamer

>>28564920

>>28565182
Nah it's still an automatic transmission with a manual "mode" too bad you're a few utensils short of a set to understand


You must've pre-ordered a bike with an E-crutch and are desperately trying to not have people make fun of you at meets.

>>28564903
Why get a new bike to l2ride? You’re going to drop it. Get a 20 year old Jap bike with low mileage for pennies. This is my 23 year old bike, runs great, cost me $2k, 800cc, probably has another 30k miles in it at least.

>>28565185

You have to have a good bike, Ducati panigally v4r superlegerra, BMW hp4 s10000rr-M3 edition, Honda CBR-1000-RR-R-Type-R etc.

>>28565117
That's it? It's not an automatic clutch like in the old semi automatic Honda Z50Js?

You're thinking of a centrifugal clutch. The eclutch is not that. It is not a scooter, it is not a "semi automatic transmission".

My validation is the friends I have and enjoying my time riding!

>>28565211
So it's just the same shit as in my Izh, but more complicated. Got it.

>>28565213
Seems like a camera would be a good legal idea if you yourself don't do (much) stupid shit. Do hasbikes use GoPros or some bike dashcam equivalent for that?

>>28565225
I'll be your friend if you get me a 360 camera.

>>28565202
Funny how you cling to lawyering on the semantics yet fail to acknowledge any nuance or benefit an actual clutch provides.

But oh I'll indulge your zero sum game.
>It's because you have to turn off the e-clutch to access manual mode.
Read it again and understand my words clearly.

You have to turn it OFF to have a manual transmission.
That was in your own words even. Therefore, it's my framing NOT yours.

These are the people who larp like they have taste
These are the people who think where you live is indicative of your critical thinking skills
These are the people who will shill the stupidest shit just because it's a new gimmick.

Also for your e-crutch, always remember you don't pop a wheelie with your foot.

>>28565227
No. Nothing like the eclutch has been on a motorcycle before.
>>28565233
You don't have to turn it off manually. If you grab the clutch lever, it will disengage on its own - always. You can wheelie just fine.

>>28565236
Sure, maybe, but every time a manufacturer tries to reinvent the clutch, it's a more complicated version of the system found in an Izh Jupiter.

>>28565239
How does the izh jupiter's transmission work? I am unfamiliar with it.

>>28565225
>My validation is the friends I have and enjoying my time riding!
You don't have an r6 dude.

>IT JUST..
>DOES IT AUTOMATICALLY FOR YOU

You actually are double digit holy shit. You even thought what I said ment you can't wheelie your e-crutch.

And you expect people with a good head on their shoulders to respect you and what you have to say? What a fucking joke.

>>28565157
Can you put into plain words what you think an automatic transmission is and what you think a manual transmission is?

Is the xsr900 a fun bike?

>>28565247
You lost, grandpa. Technology moves forward and civilization advances. If you don't like it, go live with the bush tribes of Kenya.

>>28565244
you're silly

>>28565243
The Soviets added an extra connection from the gear pedal shaft to the clutch rod actuator so when you move the pedal, it also presses in the clutch rod and disengages the clutch.
You can still use the hand lever if you feel like it, you can also hold the clutch down by foot if you feel like it which is kinda nice in big city traffic.

>>28565256
That's not your bike, you don't have acceleration or downshifting streamies, you don't even have a how to cross intersections safely tutorial streamy, r9 can beat this bike in everything.

>>28565157
Analogue efi hasn't been common place since WELL before the 90's

>>28565257
that won't automatically operate the clutch for you at 0mph though like the eclutch.

even with the bike in 4th gear, the eclutch is refined enough to where you can start from 0mph without touching the clutch lever at all

fuck rider aids

>>28565264
It will technically to an extent, but it's not an electronic system anyway so you'll have to hold the clutch either by foot or by hand either way.

That being said, I had a Jawa that did do that, but it was a fucked twin centrifugal clutch setup on a 2 speed automatic

>>28565255
Bold to assume I'd be upset about people disregarding proven machines. I'm more infuriated that consumers shill gimmicks that effectively shoot themselves in the foot especially long term sustainability.

All you are doing is making it even cheaper for me to buy the baller bikes.

>>28565262
Throw a dart at any motorcycle made before 2008 and I garentee you it has less electronic complexity than anything after it (within category)

>Noooo! It's not right to have technological improvement with no real downside!
>Excuse me?! You shouldn't make the perfect compromise between a manual transmission and an automatic for the first time!
>What?! Making motorcycling more accessible for people with limited hand strength or who are missing their left arm? Preposterous!
>New thing bad!

>>28565276
>Asking the same question? Guess you ran out of ammo.
That wasn't me.
You should answer it though. I think your understanding of motorcycle transmissions got confused somewhere along the way.

If you've never ridden dirt before they're a very good thing to attend, even if all you come away with is learning how to crash - that's literally the most important thing to learn.

>>28565356
HYB, what’s the rest of your garage like? Sounds like a comfy weekend

I tried to keep my word anons, that's how close i could get to the abandoned ACE-high antenna without leaving the Beta on the road.
They used to just put boulders in front of the old gate but looks like now they welded it shut, there was a super narrow dirt path laid out in the middle of big sharp boulders but one slip and i would have probably broken something real bad on the bike.
The funniest thing is while i was starting to go back home from the base came down 5 dudes with trial bikes! all Beta! they just jumped down to the road and then while two where keeping an eye out to see if cars where coming they just tried going back up and down from the rock wall trying to see how steep and tall was too much for them and then they went down the mountain, i found them later trying more jumps and tricks on the side of the road, should have stopped and tried snapping some pics but it was kinda late and i didn't want to disturb them.

Last few adventures for the Beta, i was told there is an incredible scenic watchpoint from WWI on another mountain pass on the other side of a local lake but for the last meters i'll have to leave the bike behind, will try to go there after i'm done with these passes

>>28565139
I've been eyeing this. I can't decide if I should trade in my 2022 390adv for either the sumo or the new adv-x.

Why half ass two things when you can just whole ass one thing. Aka a very good Manual transmission.
>accessibility meme
I know you don't really care about that because you don't know any one armed riders.
>Hand strength
Buy a bike you can weild if you lack the strength to operate the one that's too much for you. If I was a Manlet I wouldn't buy a bike with 33" ride height nor demand the manufacturer to make the same thing but shorter.
>new thing bad
Bad thing is bad, I'm not a ludite. However when you shill a gimmick that negatively impacts the products lifespan and insist on yourself that New = better then you're mentally deaf or a PR agent
>>28565281
Funny how you fail to engage with literally any of my points, yet insist I engage with your word game.
>>28565291
If that's what you take away from the discussion, then you aren't picking up anything we are laying down.
>>28565295
a cable is simpler than an e crutch, a cable is easier to repair than an e crutch, a cable is cheaper to buy as a part than any part of your e crutch, and there is more mental faculties required to operate a traditional clutch than your e crutch.

You are all short sighted, ignorant, and blind consumers.
Physical components deteriorate and that feedback is given to the rider.
Hot take, I don't think people with one arm should ride a motorcycle.
No I don't think a limp wrist should hop on a giant bike or feel entitled to the big bike confiding to their shortcomings of their own physique.
Innovation isn't a bad entity, but blindly accepting all gimmicks as innovation is stupid.
If you suck at shifting so bad that you need a e crutch, by all means go for it. Just don't expect to recieve any respect from actual enthusiasts mmmkay

>>28565405
Define manual and automatic transmissions.

>>28565406
Google is your friend ol chap. Come back when you have something better to retort with.

>>28565404
I always hated reading reviews about bikes and the reviewer would complain about items that didn't matter like the exhaust or stock gearing or tires or brake pads or some shit. so what you're going to change it out anyways

>when that ESL reading comprehension kicks in

>>28565157
>It's a manual transmission with a slipper clutch. The machines function will only slip when under enough load, it's not a mindless endeavor like your Eclutch (E-Crutch)

A slipper clutch is to eliminate rear wheel chatter when aggressive downshifting it doesn't have anything to do with clutchless shifting bud

>>28565279

I enjoy motorcycles for the visceral, raw and often violent thrill of a machine that requires technique, skill and experience to operate well - I'm beyond content with the only electronic extra / rider aid / anything I have being the EFI with cable actuated throttle bodies on my T7.


Ya'll can have all the electronics you want. If you want an electric clutch or think it's a wonderful idea go vote with your dollar and buy one.

>>28565426
By his logic it’s a manual transmission with an automatic mode if you just set it to default off when you start the bike
>mechanical complexity good electronic complexity bad

I worry about breaking it.

>>28565615

Tbh none of them were rideable - CR needed a chain, sprockets and some other small parts. I'd just finished putting it back together after having the case halves repaired, motor completely rebuilt and I was setting base jetting / heat cycling the motor.

The CRF forks for the T7 were still out getting revalved and I was still learning having a hard time truing the front wheel I built for it and iirc the TW needed a spark plug because something in the sea crate it's usually stored in fell and broke it.


100LL fuel does smell fucking great though

>>28565614
MX gear - especially boots like Astar Tech7s are some of the best protection you can wear while street riding.

>>28565626
this

>>28565628
but also this

Rented an FTR for a few days while I was on a trip last week. The gearbox was either mechanically in poor condition or just not good to begin with, I never felt like I mastered shifting it. And refueling them is a little annoying. Otherwise, holy shit that motorcycle was fun to blast around on. Maybe after the novelty wears off it just becomes a niche bike that really only excels at looking cool? I don't ever see or hear about them enough to even consider it in "cult following" territory, and now that they're discontinued I suppose I'd call it a spiritual success but commercial failure... SOVL just doesn't pay the bills I guess. Thanks for reading my blog.

>>28565614
Nobody is stopping your from wearing dirt gear on the street because that is based af

>>28565649
>>28565706
I was actually wondering about that. Like the dirt helmet is ECE rated, but like its built for dirt so I didn't know if that mattered.

Still though I should have gotten a bike I wouldn't be afraid to fuck up.

>>28565690
>commercial failure
>two decade run
Uhhh

>>28565706
>>28565716
I've never really looked into the characteristics of off-road gear. Could it be configured more towards impact rating and maybe ventilation, but then less emphasis on abrasion resistance? Fuck, maybe thats perfect if you're gonna drop the bike at lower speeds instead of lowsiding at the on-ramp going 100.
>>28565731
Indian announced the FTR in 2018... Did it exist earlier in some other format that I'm just not aware of?

>>28565741

>>28565748
Yeah, I keep hearing rumors that Yamaha is retiring the FJR now as well so not hard to get mixed up.

>>28565753
I guess my rental experience is perfect evidence of that. It's fun, I'm glad Indian tried something. But I didn't buy it. Once every motorcycle on the market is a 270 P-twin, I'll know it's because that's what I deserve.

>>28565107
CFMoto made the midsize cc bikes for KTM, you can even notice it on comparing the 790 with a CFMoto 800MT-X and its the same damn engine too. CFMoto bikes are the good chink ones, Keeway bikes aka the Amazon torture tested bike on that YT video, are actually made by QJMotor, which also makes the bikes for Benelli these days. Also there's Voge which is Loncin's top tier line, and these guys make the engines for Kawasaki and some BMW, yet the latter moved with the low cc with TVS in India, kinda like KTM and Bajaj. As for Zontes bikes, I think they were also from Loncin, but it ended being a separate branch and they focus on making decent bikes with the most comfy features, its crazy that you can get a 200cc bike with full led, dual channel abs, gel seat, crashbar, keyless, illuminated controls and TFT screen for under 3K where I live, puts the latest KTM 200 Duke to shame feature wise.

And then there's the 450MT/Ibex which is gaining quite good traction recently, there was the spics throwing shade at it because a faggot had a small issue yet went full retard to take the bike apart entirely with a "friend mechanic" fucking the warranty. A guy who owns one that makes vids on my country has his 450MT running flawlessly because he has a real mechanic. So yeah, beaners as mechanics, just as making cars, are the fucking worst, more than chinks.

>>28565364
>Trade 2022 for ADV X model
Don't do it, there's more drawbacks than gains doing that, you lose quick adjustment on the suspension, the ADV X doesn't have it, rest is pretty much 1:1 w/373cc ver. Put that money on upgrades instead. And if you want one of the new 390s, I would go hands down on the Enduro R model, but tariffs are a bitch, so maybe its just better to get the CRF Rally.

If you're gonna upgrade the 390 adv, my suggestions would be:

>14t sprocket
>upgraded air filter (the ones with an open top cover)
>fuelx lite
>flat footpegs (blackdog hopefully)
>t-rex bashplate for heavy offroad

>>28565649
Which boots would you recommend for an MX/Enduro boot newfag? I know that Gaerne and Sidi are considered the best out there besides Astars Tech7 and 10s, but they are indeed pricey, specially the spaghetti ones. My goal is to be able to use them for an ADV bike, so it will be a 50/50 use and for practicing some more techniques, mostly from Moto Control's channel. I currently have Breccia GTX short boots which are indeed great and bought them solely due of a big discount and being my size, but since I wanna do my first long trip I'm sure they won't qualify well on giving me proper protection, besides I'll be doing it solo.

I considered ADV boots at first, but later I just saw they actually fucking suck on protection, except maybe for Sidi Adeventure 2, and those are out of my budget atm, besides I rather get something cheaper to see if doing trips like this is actually my thing or not. I expect to find one that around $350 tops. Thanks in advance.

I have mulled over a similar idea of picking up a wrecked harley off of copart. This sort of thing makes sense if the damage is obviously from a collision, the engine was running, and it just needs a front end/bits and bobs. If you're talking about a basket case off of your classifieds, I wouldn't do that unless you already have a stockpile of harley parts, BUT you could totally get it done. or you could just find the most complete harley that's been sitting and just doesn't run for unknown reasons. I don't have a junkyard that keeps a good stock of bikes, but there are swap meets and forums. Hell, you could probably build a bike from swap meets alone.

>How much for frame and engine
check your local classifieds for harley rollers, and whatever engine/transmission (shovel, ironhead, evo, big twin evo, twin cam, etc) you want to use. You absolutely will get nickle and dimed by all the little stuff you don't have if you go that route though.

>>28565872
thanks. to me, a 'good price' for a Sportster that runs and moves under its own power would be like $900 but these days I can't seem to find one for less than twice that, for 20+ year old bikes. it's a fucking Sportster, the "girl" Harley. they built millions of them practically unchanged for 30+ years. I ain't paying used car money for a paleolithic bike. If I can buy a roller for 300~ and then piece it back into a functional machine for about the same amount I'd be peachy.

>>28565876
Those prices would be ideal, but that's a pretty tight budget. Where I'm at, sporters that run don't really go below $1500-2k. Patience and a keen eye might get you there, though. best of luck

>Is it comfy as it looks?
depends on how comfy it looks to you
it's a bike that does everything it should and that without much hassle. It has no character if that is something you value in your bike. Just like a real german, it just follows the orders you give it. More gas? It will go faster. It won't be thrilling, it will just go faster. The power delivery feels like it is the same in every rpm. It's somewhat of a heavy bitch, but it's all handable if you are not a stickfigure. Mine has cruise control which is a huge plus if you plan on eating miles with it. The seat is comfortable enough for 8 hour rides, the fuel usage is not too horrible and the seating position is good. The infotainment means you can pair it with your Sena and control your music and all that via the bike so you don't have to take your hands off the bars. I'm not a good off-road rider, but it handles everything I throw at it. The bike is a lot more capable than I am in that case. And if you are scared it also has multiple riding modes, ABS and traction control and all that fancy stuff. And heated grips, sadly no heated seat.

You're black

>>28566147
>why
3 rock solid reasons, i call em thighs calves and glutes but your girl just calls me hot.

>>28566325
Exactly what I'm looking for. I'd have been better if it were slightly lighter, but I'm not complaining. 6 hours continuous on my sport bike is horrid, I think anything will be better than this. Actually for me sport bike >> cruisers. I get tailbone pain easily.

>>28566359
Close but not true. I'm a jeet.

>>28566388
Take it for a spin and see how you like it. I guess there's stuff like comfort seats avaivable but I never bothered looking.

>>28566041
You mean the Tech 7 Drystar version right? Do they get too hot for summer? I'm with the seasons flipped compared to the US, so in February it will be hot af when I go do the trip.

Also yeah, one time that I went as a guest to an offroad course before getting my own bike (my teacher was handling part of the event), one of the people teaching said that it should prioritized on getting knee braces below the pants besides good MX boots, yet they just recommended getting of the regular ones you can buy on a motorcycle store first if they got ones that fit well before getting custom ones, probably it was a suggestion in order for the rookies to get their gear right away, since some barely had a helmet.
Anyways, after that event is that I picked my KTM 390 ADV used, it barely had 1k miles on it and had crashbars already installed, so basically getting one for 4K usd when they usually sell new for double in my shithole, was a good deal.

its not a gs, stop trying to call it a gs

Fuck I wish the Triumph Scrambler came in a 500-650 ish displacement. It's so sexy and I want to live the cafe larp.

>>28566450
WTF are you on about? It say F850GS. Are you a jealous nobike?

>>28566460
Royal Enfield GT650 does this. Or the Kawi 650 one looks cool too. If you want scrambler, you should look at Bear 650.

>>28566471
its an F850
nobody, ABSOLUTELY NOBODY refers to an F850 as a "GS", you subhuman FREAK
GS = big boy bike

>>28566439
Fuck you, Shoom is not a PDF. I hate yamaha for killing R6 and R1 and bringing R7 and R9. Yamaha makes cool bikes, but modern Yamaha is a stupid jew. Even if Kando is real, only Suzuki has soul. He a huwhite boi. Slander against shoom senpai will not be tolerated.

>>28566485
It says GS though and it can go on both roads and dirt. Very well mind you.

>>28566450
I'm not even trying, I just do it even if it is >28566485 NOOOOO IT IS NOT A REAL GS
when talking to people I also do not refer to it as a GS but either as the "little GS" or with the disclaimer "not a real GS", but the reality simply is that nobody cares.
and I will not rename my files into F850GS_*

>>28566499
Very cool senpai. I should test ride F850GS if its available at my local BMW dealer.

>>28566490
Yamaha still makes all those bikes.
R6 is the only uncucked supersport left. Yamaha fucks regulations and norms.

>oh no I can't ride it on the streets my government won't let me

you wouldnt call a gixxer750 a gixxer
you wouldnt call a cbr600r a fireblade

>>28566513
Stay mad faggot. Enjoy the bikes for what they are instead of gatekeeping.

>>28566513
This is bait.

>>28566513
>you wouldnt call a gixxer750 a gixxer
but it is arguably the best gixxer...???
Would we call a WR125 a WR?
>>28566511

You forgot to attach the gigachad image.

>>28566507
I bet your forearms still got wet. Ya need some gauntlet-style gloves anon.

>>28565754
those are mud dawber wasp nests. They fill the nest with paralyzed spiders and caterpillars, lay an egg for the new baby to eat, then seal it up with mud.

>>28566526
I have some, but I don't like em too much. Oftentimes I get lucky enough that after a quick and intense shower the weather swings around and dries me up again.
