100% of the thread.

Why is it so challenging for people to just not be obnoxious and ruin threads.

For the love of God, can ALL of you stop being fags for 2 seconds? This general is hardly noticeable anymore given how little bike talk there is now. It's just dick measuring contests and retarded fringe politics that nobody gives a fuck about.
Dbt needs to be about bikes not bullshit.

>>28663467

>>28663423
I live in Florida and will probably have to do the same thing. I got a mesh jacket from Alpinestars on sale for like $150 and while I don't think I got ripped off, it's heavy, not as breathable as it looks, and desu I think this thing would fall apart in a slide. The only advantage is sewn-in shoulder, elbow, back protectors but I can get those on these base layers and have space left over for an airbag. The airbag probably providing the most protection out of any of this. Then a random cheap leather jacket I get from Thursday can fit over it.

>>28663490

What, we hating on leather jackets now?

>>28663514
expensive over-branded billboard jackets, yes.
sexy and handsome casual leather jackets, no.

Well I guess I have a shop cat now.
This one has opposable thumbs but has not learned how to use them yet.
The other cat hasn't shown up in about a week and I'm afraid a hawk got him, so I brought this one inside for now.

>>28663496
I don't think you know what a cafe racer is

>>28663490
random jackets don't have the room inside to the airbag, which is why airbag jackets have all the stretch panels along the sides. I got the airbag backpack because like you I like to wear nice jackets while riding.

Don't be an idiot like me anons. I am lucky replacement fairing are fairly inexpensive for the bike and are only half-fairings.

>>28663613
On the bright side, might actually be the secret forbidden ergonomics upgrade for levers

>>28663623
One thing I love about my first-gen 390 Duke is the almost free levers and plastic pieces. 2017-on KTM tried to solve all their financial troubles with $100 levers and such. Not correct for what you position as a Hoolie bike.

>>28663534
smart

>>28663534

>>28663636
Yeah, but the $100 levels are tanks, not matter how many slides and drops I put this bitch through, I just bend it back into place and it wurks.

Meanwhile everyone else on the planet:

>>28663639
sweet. I bought two extra of each when I bought the bike, but then I got bark busters so I don't really know how they fare in a crash.
I broke one of the plastic thingies next to the headlight bouncing off a bus, and the replacement (plus a mirror) was like tree-fiddy. But the *decal* kit to put a new sticker on the plastic was several hundred. Peeled off the remaining stigger to make it look right.

>>28663486
Just ban both and be done with this stupid shit. Their feude isn't even funny it's pathetic.

You're saying TWO tards are mucking everything up and we don't ban them????

>>28663616
I’m not really ashamed about it, I’m not exactly gifted at the inseam so I’ve dropped my bike plenty of times at this point. And you’re right, the first thing I did was laugh it off before picking it back up.
>>28663619
I have to use my kickstand multiple times every day so I’d say going 1/1000 is a pretty good rate
>>28663625
It honestly does feel kind of nicer, but I already ordered a new lever. Replacing this one has been a long time coming since its OEM and nearly 20 years old lol

>>28663535
I have crash bars, but more than that my bud and I live in redneckville USA and would have seen a bald thumb like him from a mile away and knew to just ride away.

>>28663649
Maybe it was the Toyota that broke it. In any case, my fault but she left quickly and if she needed to be somewhere else that was OK with me... Not my place to argue.

>temperature is perfect fall riding temp
>pouring rain and lightning

>>28663535
No, dropping the bike is really stupid because now you have to go pick the fucker up. You want it upright and ready to ride so after you cream this guy with your biker buddies, you can instantly hop on and sprint off before cops arrive. This is biker gang 101

>>28663654

Man... Gotta be one of the most avoidable hits of all time. Always to remember to give semis and buses a good pat before you split, the moto gods smile upon those who bless the large vehicles. Would have avoided this accident for sure if you had pet that bus before trying any funny business.

>>28663906
same engine as the hornet 1000, but shorter first and second gear, and peak power at 9k rpm for more daily usability.
Also it has cornering ABS that lacked in the hornet

>>28663827
I see it is bully hours.
>>28663766
Cb300r does 7 and the rebel also does 7. Both have the same gearing but different intake designs. Cbr and cb300f had the better 0-60 even with no torque.
Cbr500r and cb500f do mid 5s 0-60 on average when people tested them. It is what it is, probably just bad rider or bad gearing for the weight for getting it to move from stop.

>>28663912
I was mainly talking about the cowl and paintjob.

>>28663915
>Cb300r does 7
Nope its 6.25~.5, every source online such as cycle world says the same and you can even watch it yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Il_dfrC-iY

That image the other tard posted is just total nonsense, even a base ninja 400 has better numbers, complete skill issue and fake news.

Doing some yoga helped me feel more fluid in controlling the bike with my body. If you are serious about riding you need to keep your body in check. If you cant lean the bike cuz your back is stiff then you aren't making the most of it.

>>28663924
Cbr300r and cb300r are different bikes anon, ai makes the same mistake but the cb300r despite weighing less has a less aggressive cam and intake designs. Still the numbers are within the 6s but the rebel on the same exact cams gets a reported 7.2s-8s 0-60 while only weighing 50lb more.

>>28662905
dude even if you're lane splitting where it's illegal and get in an accident where somebody egregiously breaks the law and hits you, you still need a lawyer. it's not suing the person either, your lawyer is going after their -insurance company- to get you the maximum payout. get a lawyer dude

>>28663941
>>28663941
>Cbr300r and cb300r are different bikes anon
My b.

cbr300r isn't fast but that's not the point. it's slow as balls to get to 80mph but around the city it's fun to whip around cause it weighs nothing and that hoe gets like 75mpg. not for me but it's a cheap beater

>>28663950
i'm gonna assume this is a shitpost for my mental sanity

>>28663950
God the ai is so busted. To post findings people have had that aren't cbr300r, the best 0-60 for the rebel is 7.2s stock, cb300r was 6.6s(it also makes more torque and has better mpg slightly in forum posts but that is more hearsay). engines use the same cam and timing but the air fuel ratios are different. Rebel uses a stupidly long velocity stack as the thai tuners have come to work around, similar to crf300 tuners realizing the intakes choke the engine a lot past 40mph. Unfortunately the cbr300r tuning of ari's day really only means something to grom swapers and the crd guys keep trying to use cbr intakes instead of just velocity stack swaps.
Kinda like my shitbike rebel but turning this version is a huge pain in the ass even if the engines accessible because there isn't many tuning options for home and I would need a shop.

>>28663942
This.
Don't EVER let a cagie even come ten feet away from you and not lawyer up. If you get as much as a scratch on your bike, lawyer time. I am serious.

Should I take him in bros? He most likely needs surgery. He walks and runs just fine but with a limp and shows pain around his hips when I squeeze. If it was broken, he wouldnt be able to move his leg at all, right?

>>28664011

>>28664002
It's one of the few instances I like the dub over the sub just because those accents do something to me.

>>28663999
zased hondani

>>28664011
Take him to a vet. The thing around his hips could just be from jumping from too high. Or it could be a sign of arthritis (outdoor cats develop that super early because they routinely jump from extremely high places)

>>28663648
its the chopped single seat rear with the hump on the back that makes a cafe racer a cafe racer, not bikini fairings.

>>28664011
Ok keep in mind about stray cats: There is a chance he has leukemia. This is important because they put leukemia cats down because it's contagious in cats.
If they say anything about it, take that fucking cat back immediately. Put him in the cage and walk out the door. Any word past 'Leukemia' is them trying to convince you to put the cat down, and you should never do that just because you were concerned about it. It will haunt you for a while.

>ask me how I know

Which slide pants do you wear
I notice leather coats but I take it leather pants would be hot and make me look gay.

>>28664058
My quick google shows that he doesnt display any symptoms of leukemia. But it seems like his QoL would be pretty shit. Why let him suffer?

>>28664064
Cordua Denim and DuPont Kevlar pants, settle only for AAA CE ratings

>>28664078
>But it seems like his QoL would be pretty shit. Why let him suffer?
If you can put up with the idea that you brought him in to make him feel better and they killed him instead, sure, go ahead.

Good point.

I looked through suzukis catalogue and GSX-S1000GX caught my eye - what do you guys think about it?

>>28663950
Even with microscopic sprockets, I'm not sure if you can do over 200kph on that lil honder.

>>28664142
I think it's awesome. Wicked cool bike.

>>28664078
>>28664114
You niggas are pretty cool. I'd never think about taking a stray cat to the vet.

Thinking about striple 765 again… apparently it’s easy to just throw Daytona fairings on it since they share a frame
But I can’t get a good consensus on reliability, everywhere I read online I can’t find anyone with significant mileage on one. They all have 10,000 miles or less and say they take it to the dealer to get everything done.
I understand it’s a newer bike so not a lot of people have *had* to work on it but it’s crazy to me that none of these people have anything to say about it!!!!
I’ve heard from some owners that the valves are rarely out of spec despite the small interval and I’ve heard from other owners about totally faultless major engine malfunction. I’d never buy anything new so I’m really apprehensive on getting something that isn’t proven bulletproof but it feels like triumph owners don’t actually want to prove that. Frustrating.
It’s all worry for nothing I guess, my bike has a very long life ahead of it so I’m not very worried about having to get something new so soon.

>>28664167
From what I understand there's a range of years when they had specific electrical issues and if you someone already went through a daytona or speed triple in the past he will just know what to replace or check after buying but someone who doesn't know won't know until they break and then it'll be frustration time.

I guess he became more of a shop cat now with how much he hangs around. The boss doesnt want him there but can't get rid of him either lol. He just showed up under on of the trailers one day meowing. Now he is a resident. The only problem is that my mom also got a new leather sofa. But she seems on board with it.

>>28664230
Also I have though about taking him home since he showed up but never did because honestly, he'd be cooped up in an apartment all day so I'd be taking away his freedom.

>>28664226
Cute non-gay poster that is why I love him.

Open drag strip on the 30th, can bring biek.
Wish me good luck weather, just enough time to stitch together a ghetto TRE and procrastinate about it for a week.

What's more important off road, tyres or suspension?

>>28664266
IMO tyres.

>>28664269
Seconding tyres.
If a tyre can't grip, suspension aint got nothing to load up on. Unless you're trying to offroad a fucking SV or something.

>>28663926

Flashed ECU and exhaust is standard for ALL supersports in the modern emissions/DB limited era. Low IQ.

>>28664274
Double check that the rear is actually centered, first of all.

I've been riding for almost daily for the last few years because I was too scared to drive a car and figured riding a motorcycle would be easier. How much longer can I keep this up until I need to get a car?

Had some young whipper-snapper filter up in front of me at the lights, aggressively, sneakers, shorts and a sweater on some kind of straight-piped harley.
He tried to give it the beans off the light but I easily kept up on him without shifting out of first. Guy crests the hill at double the speed limit after I button off and start braking. INSTANTLY pinged by a bike cop a 1/4 mile out. Praise jesus for the silencers I've got bunged in the twin, cop completely ignored me.

>>28664280
Really depends on you, brother.
My first and 2nd vehicles were bikes, rain or shine, winter or summer for 8 years before I picked up a station wagon and eventually an MX5. 9 Years later I still have the MX5, 250 and another litre. If you do get a car, get one with an emphasis on utility.

>>28664284
Makes sense, if I do get one it would only be for the ability to transport goods and people. Funnily enough, I never even saw myself as the type who would get a motorcycle. Should have seen me at the DMV applying for that M1 license. While it was and remains fully legal and defined in the handbook, they really had to dig through their stuff to figure out how to make it happen.

>>28664278
The wheel just goes onto a shaft. No aligning needed.

>>28664287
Over the years, my parents (both wagons) or work vehicles available for free hire filled the gap. If the Stagea didn't run me broke on gas I'd have kept it, but after so many years on a bike I was hooked with semi-slicks on the MX5 doing corners.
That said, I'm pretty happy having a diesel euro 6 doublecab in the driveway, even if the company owns it... It holds;

>>28664287
Yeah nc dmv you can't go straight to motorcycle. They have you do the driving and riding practical just to get a licence. Not sure how many states do it this way.

>>28664290
Just saying. Mate had the same feeling, chalked it down to being a single male for too long until ti started spitting o-rings on only one side of the chain.

>>28664297
cali will let you but from my experiences its a surprise to even the staff there

>>28664297
Mfw being 15 taking my learners bike license, they sent me around some cones for a practical handling test and then hit me with the scratchie-multichoice test and sent me on my way alone on a screaming 250.

Under any video / news article about EV bikes I see
> Boooo! :vomit: Not a real bike!!!!!!!
What makes people write that? I get that not everyone is willing to buy a range-limited bike, but what's up with this visceral overreaction?

>>28664333
Catering to their demographic, whatever it is.
If someone said "Hey anon, here's a lightning 218 to daily for a couple months" I'd probably just leave a trail of cum everywhere I went.
I'm an easy mark, so a 250I4 does the same to me but I also own a bike described as 'too throttle-sensitive' and I love it, so fuck them. Bikes are 90% straight line thrill, 10% cornering.

>>28664333
it's same with cars, youtube is either

I love driving the little shitter LDV van at work. Just about smokes anything to 40mph before eventually hitting its top speed of 70 a half hour later. Fucker chirps and hits traction control when you floor it empty at 20mph.

>>28664340
Ev dirkbikes are big on account of the short gearing and towering torque. Top speed meh.

You don't need to go 100 km/h to have fun on dirt.
Sometimes 30 km/h feels too much. Not in a desert I guess, but still, it ain't about the speed.

>>28664348
Fully agree.

>>28664344
I have no idea about dirt bikes, let's say you take this on a trailer somewhere and get 2 hours use out out it, is that enough? No way you can charge it in typical dirt bike environments.

>>28664357
Couple hours to charge, couple hours to deplete by the looks of things.

Amateur reporting in. Depending on the ride, a solid 2 hour trail one-way on heavy, heavy dirt and hills is grounds (for me) to have an hour break and lunch. I've been on a few few 2-3-4 hour enduro's but they were more hardpack higher speed. Never come close to draining the tank on my pigfat XR400 though.

Hey reditors I can’t get the balls to wheelie. What can I do? I need to post nooners on an anonymous Finnish pineapple carving telegram channel or they won’t fill my narcissistic supply. What do I do here? Stuck on this beginner bike.

I’ve got no test and am impotent if that matters.

The first step is to grow a pair by facing your fear upfront. For that you have two options: make a selfie while standing in front of a moving train, or show an oncoming truck who's the boss by riding straight in it's way on the fastest road you can find.

Why are you pretending like Yamaha has any style? The only nice looking thing they ever made was the previous gen R6, and even that was only good with a custom paint job unless you got the Raven edition.

Newest Honda 600 has one of the best paintjobs Nips have put out in years. Nu-Yamaha doesn't have a single good looking bike out right now.

>>28664544

hey tyre question, if I were to replace my touring tires with Shinko 705s, the touring tires are tubeless, these are tubed, is that a problem?

MV Augusta exhausts always remind me of Pipe organs. By far the best looking exhaust aesthetics of any brand.

>>28664583
4 smaller pipes would not mean 4x weight. Low IQ.

Wanna hear mine? I think the bike you posted looks absolutely horrible, I'd be embrassed to be seen in that shit. Looks like the target age for those looks is 14 years olds

The one thing we can all agree on is that Kawasucki has the absolute worst looking bikes of any brand and that MC Augusta exhausts put everyone else to shame.

fucking LAMOOOOOOOOOOO, be honest though, youve never turned a wrench in your life. not even trying to be a cunt just curious. like what makes a man think this riced out shit is okay, imagine if it was real. it would be 4x pipes at about 2" in diameter, thats 8 inches of cross sectional area, theoretically that could flow like 2500hp, in reality its just 4 little scooter pipes in there though and youre fine with it. My question is how.

They should trade discords and just start arguing directly with eachother

>>28664680
Ugly and no character. It has no soul in its design. Nothing about this bike looks memorable. I think about the classic R1, RC51, 996, k5 GSXR, or a S1000RR or many other bikes. Or even the Dukes or RCs, they have their own look, this looks very generic and cookie cutter but ugly. Old good looking Yamahas are dead, except for T7 and a few other bikes.

Who owns KTM again?

Sixty miles use now. Speedo broke on the way. Wire lose on the front wheel. KM counters never worked though, trip counter can't be reset. Needle bouncy. Might replace with an MPH model if I can find one.

Headlights and rear lights stopped working and battery stopped charging as I have to push start it now. And found a little oil leak in the gear box, which might explain the previous owner's gift of two bottles of gear oil.

Shop can fix. I bought it to fix myself but I could be frigging around for weeks and seeing as I want two new tires anyway they can do the rest.

>>28663475
It's really not. The mt09 engine is about as boring as they come

>>28664711
He bought the pre-2016 edition that would blow the gasket head from getting too hot, was fixed, he should have focused on upgrading the cooling. Shame because the 2015 version was the best looking with the ultra tidy exhaust, after that they went to the typical uggo asymmetric side cannon like the nips.

Awful KTM paintjob

I'm still in my lurk phase, but when I see people arguing over some of these high speed bikes and if they are good or not, is it really common for everyone arguing about them to not actually own said bike, or even one of it's competitors? Or to have experience racing them? How do you know who's full of shit? Ask for lap times?

>>28664694
What motorcycles released in this century have this type of seat aka without passenger (except track bikes and cruisers of course)?

>>28664744
You can buy a rear seat cowl for literally every single bike.

Honda Sabre is such a sick ride, way ahead of its time and is still a fast bike compared to modern bikes, it's a 40 year old design, Honda was way ahead of the curve then.

>>28664739
It's called benchracing and happens with cars too. The fastest benchracers are the slowest IRL because they lack the experience required to know being fast is less about the bike and more about the skill

>>28664739
Also, bikes are so fast, the marginal differences between one bike to another is meaningless outside of the track. On top of that, the majority of anons can't max the handling of a Grom anyways, so benchracing is all we have
