what is it about hondas that makes them perfect bikes for the autistic?

What’s a dyke bike?
I assume a Harley because you see dykes on Harley’s and Indians at pride parades all the time but I feel like there’s gotta be a bit more diversity in that category
ADV’s are for hetero dentists with wives obviously and Hondas are for gay men.
But what do the lesbians ride? What’s the bike equivalent of their Subaru

'ku

>>28609235 (OP)
Kys

Why is this so hot?

>>28608507
Vibration but it’s more the bike is light so I have to anticipate when there’s wind or when passing a truck and counter to not move sideways inside the lane all the time Turning into headwind I need to put more throttle early or I’ll lose speed etc, and throttle 90% open all the time to stay at 130. It’s just not relaxed riding.

I’ll try some more bikes maybe a 450 single or a light twin. The AJP looks perfect interns of specs though it’s ugly and has very little dealerships here

/adventure/

>>28609341
I heavily encourage you to reconsider the T7. The bike being "boring" on pavement getting to trails is arguably a good thing, you'll have more focus/mental energy in reserve for the riding you actually want to be doing.

>>28609258
the underseat slip-on gives me the ick

>>28609354
Gosh the ténéré is so sexy

Why is every single general on this site so full of retarded shitposting and mental illness regardless of board?

>>28609404
4chan is where a lot of schizoids go after being banned from everywhere else.

>>28609341
i did a very long highway trip on a very light single (<150Kg) and while i understand what you mean i really don't get how something like your adv that is just a bit heavier and has almost 20hp more than what i was riding could have such a problem with speed, the wind maybe but you are basically trading one slight annoying thing you only get on highway with a lot of wind with all the bonus of having a light bike.
You say you don't want a boring bike but getting a heavy two-cylinder bike that would fix your highway problems is probably going to make it even more boring and you get less fun when out of your highway commuting that is innately boring in the first place.
As the other anon said, maybe some more premium bikes can still be funbikes like the T7 or an old GS but you should probably try and see which one is a bit more "peppy" and still has some single vibes to it

>>28608948
damn that helmet looks cool, what model?

>>28609404
Welcome to 4ch mate.

Having said that there just seems to be one bitter cunt in /dbt/, i think he must live in picrel.

alright then, today i will
>put on the phone mount
>change the wheels from supermoto to "enduro"
>put on the new mirrors i bought
thats it. only thing i gotta do afterwards is remove the cam chain tensioner and do that whole thing to make sure my cam chain isnt loose, but ill do that next week.

>>28609404
We got KPI on our shitposting, if we don't met our KPI we get reviewed and our tendies and anime wifu will get take away from us.
Hope this helps you understand ayy lmao.

>>28609433
wouldn't you have problems with the front if you swap from 17 to 21 without new forks? or you have adjustables so you can make them soft enough?
also post sumo

>>28609258
idk but its fucking perfect
(i have hondo and 90% autistic)

>>28609445
thats the beauty part - its a fucking 17 inch front with an AX41 on it.

>>28609449
DAMN and i was happy with the mutant! that must look so cool with that big knobbed "front",it will still be hard and uncomfortable as hell but at least you don't lose traction. i did that unpaved pass from my pics and while it was only gravel and dirt and the mutant where really enough i had to be on my pegs the whole pass and my knees had to compensate a lot for the rocky section and the more uneven bits. post pics after swap!

Also didn't you use a beeline? why the phone mout? not satisfied enough with that?

>>28609456
>Also didn't you use a beeline? why the phone mout? not satisfied enough with that?
the beeline is great and i love it, but for the TET i think i might need a phone, and im riding with a friend who asked me
>pls pls get a phone mount so i dont have to do all the navigating

i will most likely remove the phone mount after the trip, i dont want my fucking phone there desu

can't believe the cops kicked me out for taking photos lmao
"you're on federal property!!!!!!" with no signs just a bunch of shitty decayed graffiti'd up concrete barriers that people were literally smoking crack around earlier but somehow me taking some pics was a bigger problem
oh well that's LA for you I guess

I'm no BetAnon anymore but if i ever get the chance to keep two bikes in the future i'll be very tempted to try find another beta, maybe the alp this time so i can have a little indestructible dualsport and go bully big heavy advs on trails where engine displacement doesn't matter but being <150kg full does

I hate these cringe ass influencers so much.

>>28609411
Did Bakuon ever even have a single panel where the girls actually rode their bikes on a gravel road? I remember the one trip where they went down a dead end country rode, but they wouldn't even ride on the grass to turn around and all of them backed their bikes out on foot instead. Was Onsa a big old poser?

Should I be buying new? I only ask because I don't want the bike manufacturers dying.

>>28609533
You're overthinking it.

Do you watch MotoGP?

too many continentals for my taste

>>28609537
No, boring.

>>28609533
if you've got money (AND TIME) to waste, yes

whenever you buy a new bike you have to always remember 2 things
1. Tax LOL
2. Run In Period

You lose 20% of the value on the bike simply by buying it new
and you cant have fun on it for the first like 3k-10k miles (manufacturer depending)

so if you want to buy a 1390 superduke, but it only be worth 80% of what you paid keep the revs below 4000 for 7500 miles, sure, buy new

>>28609533
No, this is literal cuck behavior, if you want just buy OEM parts. Just be selfish and get yourself a good deal.

>buying new
>buying a fucking KTM

>>28609537
world superbike is cooler because homologation
fuck motogp and their spaceage fagmobiles

>>28609546
This is the only brand you can't buy used. Because they break before they reach 30k KM. I think only worse performers are Shitalian and Chink. Some of the chink manufacturers are getting their shit together, look bleak for KTM. But for some reason, I keep rooting for KTM.

>>28609533
>the bike manufacturers dying
unless youre buying from BMW or one of the big 4 japs, the manufacturer is probably already dead, and youd just be giving money to an indian shaman wearing the company as a skinsuit

>>28609552
>Some of the chink manufacturers are getting their shit together
fuck off slopagandist, no they arent.

>>28609554
Anon, CFMoto, KTM's manufacturer, Loncin, BMW's manufacturer, Kove and Voge are pretty cool too. I hate chink bikes and I'll never buy them, but they are getting good.

>>28609553

>>28609555
>CFMoto
enjoy your subscription, faggot

>KTM
wrong, theyre indian now

>Loncin
never heard of them, absolute dogshit, googling them shows quads and generators

>BMW manufacturer
and yet they take 0 innovation or practices from them? yeah fuck off

>Kove and Voge

take your chinkloving ass back to xi and beg him for more money
because youre shit isnt going to slide here for free

>>28609563
This poster is a bot, even if they are right about cfmoto.

>>28609563
I said I'd never buy from them, but its crazy to say they are not real competitors. I hope this new competition forces the big 4 nihon brands to rise out of their slumber. I have high hopes for KTM though.

>>28609532
just checked it was in the middle of a rice field so not exactly something they could have done
the serow could have pulled it off but not without being covered with mud and ripping a line trough someone's field (not very polite!)

i know there is a onsa-focused manga that i can't find scans for but i think that's more "maintenance and mechanical stuff" more than adventures with the serow

>>28609532
>Was Onsa a big old poser
Always was. Raimu was the only one skilled and Hane and Rin were the cute ones. Onsa was just extra jewish nuisance.

>>28609569
>its crazy to say they are not real competitors
they are not real a competitor
theyre chinkshit and bait&switch subscription models on a bike

maybe in fucking chinkland theyre a competitor, where everyone rides around on glorified lawnmowers
but in the first world, the western world, the human world, they are not even an afterthought

Milk candy is cute! she is supposedly as skilled as Rin with riding but she also has wrenching skills!
Raimu is literally not even human so it's not fair to put her in a competition with highschool girls

Help me out here:

Am I being a retard for wanting to buy a bike between October and January in western Europe, where it doesn't even snow in December anymore?
Most of the time I'd use it for daily commutes and weekend tours, when the roads are ice-free I wouldn't mind driving it on the highways either. I even have access to a garage for the times I'm not gonna use it (most likely when it really gets shitty and freezing from january to mid march).

So far, people have given me different angles on purchasing a bike now:
>"they're most likely cheaper because dealerships gotta get rid of this/last year's models"
>"why would you buy one in winter when it's too cold and dangerous to drive?"
>"prices don't vary that much anymore, doesnt matter when you buy it"
>"it takes twice as long to get ready to drive to/from work on a bike than it takes to do it in a car"

They all make sense somehow, but it's what my heart wants. Are there any good reasons for buying one now instead of waiting another 3 to 5 months?
Just give me your objective takes on whether or not I'm being a naive idiot here for wanting to buy a bike now.

>>28609533
If you've seen what shoomer does to his bikes you'd never buy used

>>28609592
It isn't the cold or the ice that is the problem, its the salt all over the place. Depending on your location it might be to salty in march.

>>28609592
I think you can get better prices/ better deals buying now because it's the off season

I don’t know what to do. Want a bigger dual sport and torn between:
>drz4s (price, buzzy on highway)
>dr650 (weight)
>enduro 390 (jeeted, weight, clearly not rugged)
>xr650l (weight, top heavy)
I think my final contenders are the zooks, don’t wanna go hardcore with a 350 exc or 450rl bc of intervals.
Which would be a better hooligan dualsport? The drz or the dr?

>>28609302

>>28609592
i just bought my svartpilen brand new with more than 22% of discount without even asking for it: got it for cheaper than a royal enfield/cfmoto because dealership wanted more space for the newer models coming at the start of the year so they had big discounts on some smaller bikes that took space in an already crowded showroom.

My plan is to finish at least the break-in period before things start to get salty by trying to ride a lot by commuting and going out for the weekends and get some secured last rides of the year, then if the weather is nice i'll consider weekend rides trough winter and just deal with the fuckton of salt they sprinkle here but at least i got a very good deal and i'm ready for when temperatures rise back again

Schizos can be identified via genetic markers: 3q29 microdeletion, which is a major risk factor, and others involved in GABAergic function (e.g., RELN), glutamate receptors, and neurotransmission (e.g., COMT, HTR2A)

This should be used to corral and kill them as their are a blight for every society they exist in.

i think the bike itself looks very good (i know it's a very you either love it or hate it look, i personally think husqvarna has a really good simple style on it's bikes), and i actually wanted another mid sized motorcycle,something between 400 and 500ccs.

My previous old 350 was just barely enough for my riding and this one while it really isn't that much more in terms of engine size is both much more modern and a nice upgrade in power for not much weight gained compared to something like other 450/500ccs.
I know that it's basically just a dressed up duke and i know that is considered a very valid and reliable little bike, i was considering a used 390 but i really couldn't stand the look of them
The only thing i don't like would be the tablet but it looks like it's something inevitable on modern bikes apart from very few models that either somehow make it look good (himmy and guerrilla) or just skip them entirely for a more normal LCD or mixed LCD like the z650rs and triumph.

why do you think it's a bad choice? just because of the displacement?

>>28609729
The only "people" who still post on /pol/ are the endless mass of useless /pol/niggers who have no hobbies besides screeching about shit they don't even partake in.

I live in western europe like the anon that asked about buying a bike now.
Again i had no problem with a sub 30hp bike so far, this one is 47 so i really don't think it would be a problem with specs and it's not a second bike as in i still have the 350, just it would be my second bike ever.
it's not even a matter of being scared or not having the full license, i learned to ride on a sv650 i just don't need the power now and these are very cheap to buy and run so it seems the best for my needs at the moment

>>28609759
i think the speed twin is very cool! bonnie is a very stylish classic but it's maybe "too serious" for me.
i was actually cross shopping between a duke/adventure390, triumph speed 400,guerrilla 450,z650rs and a used ducati desert sled and then i saw the new svartpilen and it won me over immediately

>>28609795
Thank you quirkchungus.

>>28609796
In that case, enjoy your bike. I am tall and have Hank Hill's ass so I like bigger bikes just because they're usually built with wider seats and are on average less compact.

Thx bro that’s what every thread on drz vs dr seems to say but chatgpt was pretty convinced a dr would be better. The new drzs are making 35 at the wheel which is pretty good

>>28609804
Honda loses to everyone, the CBR line is a failure, the firebird is overpriced shite, their best bike is the Grom. Yamaha is reduced to r1 and then a lineup of LARP bikes. Suzuki still reign supreme with the DRZ as the king of Sumos price/durability wise and the GSXR 600/1000 still being the squidlord bike with the best bang for your buck after Kawasaki killed the 636 and Honda killed the F4i.

Suzuki literally won by just not killing their already winning formula bikes. Honda and Kawi are reduced to being beginner brands you move on from, and Yamaha is currently doing its hardest to kill itself for tiktok views. Do nothing and win, Gixxerbros won, squids won.

>>28609818
>DRZ as the king of Sumos
Over KTMs? Kawi, Yamaha and Honda killed their bikes because they don't sell. Suzuki just has is around, but I doubt there is much of any sales in that category.

whats the best way to remove the
>"REAR USE ONLY"
letters from my front tire?

>>28609818
>Yamaha is currently doing its hardest to kill itself for tiktok views. Do nothing and win, Gixxerbros won, squids won.
Yamaha is coming out with V4 sport bike. I'm pretty sure they are going to come out with street version, and they are just going to take over any sales BMW S1K had. Suzuki on the other hand is releasing a revised K5 gsxr. I want Suzuki to win, but they are not even trying.

>>28609830
Your front tyre has it? Use an orbital sander.

>>28609824
>Over KTMs
I said price/durability wise, yeah KTM still run the show overall for sumo, but every regular person on a normal budget picks a DRZ for a reason.

>Yamaha and Honda killed their bikes because they don't sell.
Not even an argument because Yamaha still sell R6's, but only track versions which is an even smaller pool of buyers. They killed the R6 solely to sell the LAR7P and LAR9P to people who want to pretend to be real race bike riders. Yamaha is turning into a LARP brand, Suzuki remains true to its squidlord street rider heritage with the best bikes for the price and ease to wheelie.

Its not about how many bikes are sold, its about if the bikes are for actual bikers, or just tiktok kids wanting LARP """"race"""" bikes that are just an MT-07 with fairings.

>>28609813
LLMs do not think. Do not substitute your own fucking brainpower for a glorified version of Cleverbot from like 15 years ago. They string together words based on probability, not fact. If you try to have it think for you, you are doing nothing except lowering your IQ to match that of an actual retard's.
>>28609824
You can't beat on a 690 as hard as you can a DRZ. Talking about plated supermotos, that is. The 450SMR and FS450 are probably the best track bikes on the market right now, at least until Ducati makes a supermoto version of their desmo 450.

I swear to God the R6 autist from Georgia somehow memed this whole general. Bikes have development cycles. The R7 was being engineered and tested years before the decision was made to pull the R6 from road use markets. It was fulfilling a desire that the aftermarket for the MT07 was already catering to. A totally new front end and a close ratio transmission alone are a huge upgrade over a converted to fairing/clipons MT07.
The R9 is a legitimate attempt at a replacement but poorfags here are only buying $3000 clapped gixxer 600s and will just REEE about the tach numbers being smaller or a small percentage of bikes that were made by a miscalibrated robot welder and/or a quality inspector having a bad morning. NOBODY shits on Triumph for using a triple in their supersports, you guys just decided to listen to an actual autistic freak that still lives with his mom, avatarfags as yotsuba, talks like a baby, only squids around his town, does circles in a parking lot as his main form of riding, and got passed by maxwrist's tranny boyfriend because the R6 in particular is his Special Interest and he's eternally butthurt that too few people bought it to justify keeping it in production.

>>28609858
>R9 is a legitimate attempt
Only if their frames didn't crack. Yamahaha is flirting with KTM, but more dangerously and idiotically.

>>28609853
Says the retard who thought a fucking aircooled pig iron dual-sport tractor would make a better playbike than a liquid cooled, closer ratio, upside down forked, lighter, better braked bike derived from an actual enduro.

>>28609861
Illiterate ape can't even read two paragraphs. I mentioned that. That's a manufacturing process issue that is doubtlessly being adressed. They went to the effort of making a brand new frame instead of just messing up an MT09, that should be a pretty clear signal that they really cared about the bike.

>>28609836
>V4 sport bike
Who cares, another bike priced out of range to nearly everyone that will be only marginally faster than an R1, just like the v4 for Ducati.

Bikes already hit their apex in design, most people can't even handle a real liter bike, they ride them around in 6th gear at 75kmh or use low power modes for the newer ones like the s1k. The ZX4R is more exciting than another $50k bike no one has has the skill or money for.

600cc supersports should have been refined, not these v4 monster meme bikes for rich boomer cunts. Bring back the F4i, bring back the R6, bring back the real 03-04 636 instead of the current shit version. Focus on making bikes lighter and refine the reliability, make them corner monsters.

>>28609858
The LAR7P and LAR9P are not race bikes, stop the cope. Yamaha is a LARP brand that uses its previous heritage and pushed shitty MT-07 and MT-09 under the R name for a quick buck using that previous good will. Eventually the good name will lose power and the R7/R9 will be laughed at even worse than modern cbr and zx are.

>>28609858
>legitimate replacement

>>28609868
>>28609870
Reminder that the LAR9P rev limit is literally 10k while the real R6 was a raging 16k demon pic related KEK.

The LAR9P is literally just a cash grab using the R name, end of story. Yamaha are a disgrace.

imagine shilling these nu-liters while battling your boogeyman kek

>>28609868
Hp is a unit of worked defined by the mathematical formula torque * rpm/5252. A 900cc three cylinder has longer strokes and marginally heavier pistons. It's not going to rev as high. A bike with a flatter torque curve is going to require less shifting to stay in the usable powerband and will help riders be more consistent with their laptimes. 600cc was just a racing displacement limit. If you're shooting for a general hp target and have no a higher displacement limit, sometimes less cylinders, longer strokes is better. Nobody dunks on the RC51 for not making as much hp/L (completely stupid metric btw).

>>28609880
>completely stupid metric btw
Sounds like someone doesn't make 200hp/L roflmao

>>28609876
Yeah you're definitely the chomo. Bring out the yotsuba pics that kept getting you banned for avatarfagging, the general is better when you're not in it.

>>28609880
>Nobody dunks on the RC51
You're right, because no one talks about the RC51 to begin with. Its not even worth of being clowned on, nor is it remembered like the fireblade or blackbird.

>>28609885
The DR650 has a wider ratio transmission and a fatter seat. It's kind of a proto-ADV, dirt focused. Big enough to be more stable on the highway, still enough of a dirtbike for a skilled rider to take on moderate singletrack. It would also require spending money on a conversion, vs you can find DRZ SMs all day.

>>28609890
I guess the Aprilia SVX45/550 engines were truly the peak of engineering. Retard.

I don't even know what boogieman has you buckbroken, but whoever he was, he was right about the R6 if he agreed with me.

Might I add that the R6 is also the only good looking fairing bike in history, although Yamaha ruined it in their redesign.

>>28609894
NooOoOooOoo the bike has to be boring and reliable!!!!!!!!11!!! Fucking kek

>NOBODY shits on Triumph for using a triple in their supersports
The literal meme brand of supersports that most people forget exists? Top kek. Nobody even remembers that they make one to shit on it.

>>28609914
I think their only sales success is the ADV line and retro lines.

Wake the fuck up Samurai

>>28609867
>"bikes hit their apex"
>proceeds to explain how they could be improved

>>28609927
>retro lines
Thats all I think of for Triumph, a brand of quirky cafe hipster bikes. Most of the time I'm shocked when I hear "daytona" because suddenly I remember that this brand has a random one off 600 supersport with no other sport models in the lineup. Crazy that Daytonas continue to exist, but somehow Yamaha thinks the R6 had to be canceled so their money hungry stock holders could rinse a quick couple bucks from retards lining up for the LAR7P.

I fucking hate Florida. I just got the carb dialed in to where it wheelies with ease and it starts pissing down rain.

You know when it will stop? The moment I get home after riding through it.

>>28609936
I mean they hit their apex in terms of power levels and models, the 300->600->1000 supersport pipeline is good and anything over a 1000 is cool, but for a very, very tiny minority of rich cunts who also have crazy skill (so basically almost nobody).

The fact is that the 600 class is either equal with the past (GSXR/R6), or got worse (636/F4i). They should improve the models rather than shitting out 80 different meme models that serve no purpose like the LAR9P.

Thanks for the help last thread bros, meeting is set up, everything checks out and I'll be riding a beautiful Bonneville next weekend. My first bike was a Honda 250 so this should be quite an upgrade.

>>28609867
The new V4 R1 is going to be slower than crossplane R1 which is slower than flatplane R1

>Am I being a retard for wanting to buy a bike between October and January

yes, because the prices will start to drop in jan-march as the season comes back and dealerships are trying to shift old stock, or private sellers are realising they dont want a bike anymore, or want a new one for the new season

oct/nov/dec people are holding out for higher prices, thinking they can get a better price (as the seller) as people panic buy a bike for christmas
but statistically, prices will start to drop around blue monday ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Monday_(date) ) as people get desperate to pay off bills, depressed at the weather, or apathetic to the next season

If you pay attention to recruitment drives for Aus relocation jobs (nurses, doctors, police) you can get incredible deals on their shit when they're leaving/downsizing/packing

Police particularly, because there's loads more and more of them leaving every year now
Last drive I noticed has a load shipping out in October, most of them have their affairs in order now, but earlier in the year riderbuddy I know got a 2000 mile, 23 player gixxer for about 1/2 market value, because the copper wanted rid of it quick and cash was easy

Normies buy bikes in the spring and summer because that is when they can ride. They sell in late fall and winter when they can't. You will notice manufacturers offer the most rebates/sales in the winter. EICMA happens in early November and that is when new models are typically annouced, and manufacturers will start trying to clear out the old. I am sorry but your experience selling knit sweaters or other nonsense is not relevant to this discussion.

Whats the only metric, paying an assload in gas money to feed your 1700cc shitbox? These things have no functional purpose, they aren't good for an adventure, they can't deal with dirt, they can't corner, they can't go fast, what exactly are they good for besides.

>>28610274

>they have no functional purpose
touring is the ONLY functional purpose a motorcycle has, everything else they do is for fun.
>they arent good for an adventure, they can't deal with dirt

>>28610295

Functional purpose within the motorcycle world, no motorcycle has actual functional purpose, and touring is literally done better by adventure bikes. Harleys don't have the clearance for anything besides pavement.

>>28610307
>touring is literally done better by adventure bikes
touring is best done on a sport tourers, adventure bikes are the larp bikes

>>28610312
You wish. Guys I know that actually go fuck off riding across North America all the way to the arctic circle ride adventure bikes. Fat fuck baldies larping it up on Harley's go "tour" over to the closed pub. Admittedly the adventure riders are also fat.

>>28610307
>>28610317

they are too fat and heavy for offroading but they are good for travelling

>>28610317
its obvious you're a nobike btw

>>28610318
So we have found the only reasonable thing Harley has made, too bad its the ugliest pile of shite to hit the motorcycle world. Is it even reliable for adventuring?

>>28610318
that looks heavy

>>28610333
>okay they perform but i dont like it anyway!!!
lol, why are you emotionally attached to the idea of harleys not being fun?

>>28610335
Literally one pound heavier at 604 lb than the GS1250 and the Multistrada V4S which are 603 lb (as weighted by cycleworld)

>>28610339
i think its a good looking machine, but personally im not one for adventure bikes

>>28610321
>they are too fat and heavy for offroading but they are good for travelling
that would literally make them larp bikes, they're all advertised as being somewhat offroad oriented but they all suck at it

>>28610331
>you're a nobike btw
Sorry, but people with hair on their heads aren't keeping track of what models Harley have. Judging by the fact no one ever posts about this ugly son of a whore, I can only assume its an unreliable heavy pos that would suck to adventure in.

>>28610344
>they perform
There is a hell of a lot more important factors than speed for adventure bikes since they aren't just pavement riders.

>>28610347
cycle world in 2021 thought it was a better adventure bike than the GS1250 and Multistrada V4S
what do you call that? not performing?
why is this so hard for you to accept? do you get a smug sense of self satisfaction from thinking you know better than all the people who give harley the market share they have?
enjoy your machine thats so great the company had to be bailed out by JEETS to even stay in business lmfaoo

>>28610350
Cycle world can say whatever Harley paid them to say, the fact no one in the real world or forums mention this meme machine says a lot more about its performance than some shill magazine.

Just got back from Dork in the Road's campout. Fun as fuck. Missed out on the one trail ride because I was too hung over though kek.

There were lots of ADV guys actually doing ADV shit at the campout. Lots of grey hair like you'd expect though. I ended up being bros with a bunch of younger (i.e. under 40 lol) dual sport and T7 guys.

>>28610372

>i went to a meetup organised by this guy

>>28610382
kek. It wasn't everybody though, maybe 10 out of 30 of us were under 40.

>>28610386
>he takes a fucking coffee kit

>>28610259
I've ridden a couple harleys and honestly, I get it. I come from the dirt/dual sport world so I'd never buy one and frankly I think they're overpriced under-performing boomermobiles but they are fairly comfy and the loud thumpy exhaust is kind of cool. I'd 100% be more comfortable after putting 500+ miles on the interstate with your average cruiser than I do on my XR650.
The culture surrounding harley is what utterly fucking ruins it for me though. I was at a harley dealership looking at a used honda and someone ended up buying a road glide or something. The manager came over on the speaker asking everyone in the building to come up to the lobby floor and ring these cowbells and pull a train horn and cheer for this dude who had just financed like 30-something thousand dollars for the bike. It was the most aggressively homosexual thing I'd ever witnessed. Essentially it seems like harley has fully leaned into the sons of anarchy LARP and the type of person who would get one fully buys into the bullshit even though the price markup for performance is utterly insane

>>28610318
>>28610331
I sat on one of these and granted I'm a fucking lanklet but it felt too short and fat for me to consider taking off anything more technical than a gravel road. Also at like 20k MSRP for a base model, I'd rather just get a base model GS for 500 more dollars which is a proven model and feels like a much more capable bike all around.

>>28610270
The only reason I would buy a harley is used. Like it or not, they are reliable motorcycles that last decades and that's part of the reason the company is eating shit right now when their bikes from the 80s still work fine with a little marvel mystery oil, carb cleaner, and a bit of starter fluid.

>>28610389
>>28610382
kek, not really shocked though. Young people don't want to wrench on shit, they want to get on Tiktok and make brazilian street race videos.

If they ride bikes at all, most people on tiktok don't even ride a bike or own one, they just wear a helmet and take off their shirts.

>Young people don't want to wrench on shit
wrenching is fun! what i don't like is not having tools and having to improvise. granted the most i did was swapping a rear shock but plan is to at least learn how to do the whole "basic maintenance" valve adjustment included. only small work i think i'd skip is tire swap just because it's cheap enough and getting a good lift and a wheel balance rig is not worth it

In 1995 the older Harley’s were AMF years and they were unreliable junk
Since the the dyna platform (except for le wobble lmfao) Harley’s have been reliable and easy to work on - until the rev max and m8 anyway, now they’re still reliable but it’s the same problem with over complication that makes every modern engine a pain in the ass

It's more subs than Honda Motorcycles Europe (160k), and they have an entire marketing department.

I guess it’s fine for a minute long burst, but good luck doing that on a highway while traveling.

Maybe I should borrow one to try myself though. Riding sport tourers for 20 years with a single exception of Honda Magna, when I wanted to get out of my bubble. Couldn’t take it and came back to plastics

Just tuck hard - I don't mean bend forward a bit, I mean TUCK, like your chest is laid flat over your bike pressed into the tank, you are becoming one with your bike as part of the aero. Move your ass back a bit and lay over the bike, its literally fine to do this for hours if you aren't an old ma-
>Riding sport tourers for 20 years
Nevermind.

>>28610523
I’d rather avoid long term discomfort if not necessary. I got a permanent nerve damage after doing a 1000 mile trip on my Buell 1125r (it was modified, so I consider it a sport tourer too), and couldn’t live without pain in my upper back for the next 7 years or so.

>>28610504
Yeah, let's use subscriber count from a shorts platform as a barometer for a long form platform and pretend it's actually useful.

How did you manage that, crash?

>>28610389
For camping? Fuck yeah, boy. Bring that aeropress, Bialetti, or percolator. Make you a cuppa so strong you won't even notice that you don't eat fiber when camping.

>>28610539
No, just being in an uncomfortable position for hours and hours. Some nerve around rombhoid muscle got pinched, and it couldn’t be fixed by several therapist for years. Got better itself after I took a long break from riding

When are they just going to hurry up and release this thing? If they keep me waiting for too long, I'll have to buy a used Crossrunner to fill the void.

>>28610504
Lol, these are better numbers than the view counts of the scammy content farm channel.

Two actually, both to share the load and make the raising and lowering easier and safer.
I was swapping the rear so i did lock the front brake with a velcro strap and started slowly raising by the tail and passengers bars, One or two clicks at a time alternating straps, unloaded the shock and mounted the tall One and Just did the whole thing in reverse to compress It slightly and finish assembly and lining holes up. Once the rear was swapped i did the kick stand, unloaded the bike and did the same for the front to drop the forks.
While rear was kinda Easy i must admit the front was kinda sketchy as i couldn't bring the ladder as far to the front as i did on the back and so It was basically Just completely lifted and dangling there, not reccomended.
I don't think i'll ever Need to do something like that again

>>28610549
>No, just being in an uncomfortable position for hours and hours.
You sure it wasn't just from vibrations and holding weight with your hands/arms? Ideally you should hold your bars light as can be, but most people I see are riding all their weight on them, even sport bike riders. It takes a lot of conscious effort to get that habit of holding weight with legs, you almost want to be pushing up with your legs and pulling them in at the same time. Keeps your back nice and straight too.

Its a thing people are told, but like I said, most don't, and you do have to actively thing about it, just like how you have to think about your bad posture in your chair right now.

Sorry, friend. Language changes. We're not calling lunch "tiffan" either.

>>28610569
>why didnt bmw or ducati pay them to say they won
Because people actually respect those brands.

>>28610569
For me the only question is whether I'll get the sport tourer (VFR) or the crossover (Crossrunner).
I'll have to see reviews to decide whether to get the supercharged or NA version, but I'm leaning pretty heavily towards the supercharged one provided it isn't so fast that it's hard to ride.

>>28610547
Yeah, I brought an Aeropress myself, and it was a godsend. It might not be as big of a deal if you're doing a solo trip or whatever, but at an event like this that's basically a big party at night but then motorcycle riding in the day you really need good caffeine to get you going in the morning.

>>28610553
How fuckhuge will the battery on this be

>>28610562
Well, it was a 1125r, so I obviously went fast and was pretty tense, as you can’t really relax while doing 100-120mph most of the way.
But yeah, you’re right, it might be due to body weight shifted on one of the arms, which led to an eventual injury.

My current bike is little bit more comfortable, but I’m really getting exhausted from wind hitting my upper torso and helmet. And that’s even behind an aftermarket touring screen. That’s why I’m hesitant about nakeds, despite loving their looks.

>>28610588
big enough to run all my heated gear in a sport touring configuration please based honda

>>28610588
Imagine stealing 2kW from a 50kW+ engine, the horror.

>>28610590
Thats fair, I mean pinched nerve will happen randomly in any sport, and people forget motorcycling is a sport (well, if you are doing 100+mph it is anyways, or hitting twisties really hard). So many bikers cry about back pain, and they are just totally out of shape, like no shit you have back pain, your core can't even support your body properly on a motorcycle. Dudes need to hit the gym, clean the diet, and then try again.

Real naked (stripped supersports) are a really niche thing that no one sells, but regular factory nakeds are made for people who don't go fast usually. They don't have the peg placement or clip on's to tuck properly, which means you hold dirt bike position on the highway, which would get old if you are abiding the law and just cruising around.

You seen the new Ducati Streefighter? Dirt bike bars and fucking WINGS, on a bike with NO FAIRINGS. What a sad fucking meme.

>>28610439
its just wind bro don't be a pussy

Honestly I don't even like any of the factory naked bikes besides KTM, the rest look awful, naked biked are about being raw and aggressive, but they clean up the bikes adding bits of plastic to create smooth rounded styles.

I mean just look at these, they look fucking soft, like a Prius driver made them.

>>28610654
Naked bikes are always hooligan bikes because of the lower end torque. I can't believe the Mt07/09 are so popular despite looking so fucking ugly. I seriously think KTM have the only halfway decent looking naked bikes on the market.

>>28610441
The stuff from 1995 still runs great, even better than stuff from 2025.
That's why Harley is dying.

>I base my ADV bike opinions on razor thin 0-60 differences.
Didn't know ADV guys frequented drag strips or gave a shit about highway pulls.

Suzuki never made good looking bikes, b-king is even more atrocious. SV-650 looks good, GSX8S and Katana look good.

very true satan, but the fellow i was responding to seemed VERY hung up on 0-60, which is why i brought it up
the pan america was preferred by the cycle world authors in that comparison, so by whatever metric they like its a good bike. its at least very close to the well known adv bike greats

Get an ADV, they are universal dad bike or they will make you a dad.

i'll go to stealership and beg tomorrow to give me a pussy wagon if it even gets me in the door.

If he cares that much the MT-09/XSR/Tracer 9 pull the same 0-60 numbers at a lower cost.
