Owned one for 13 years and never had an issue. Underated for sure.

>>28675791
neither is the original 1968 Trident, that had a 740cc engine.
The name originally comes from it's 3 cylinder engine.

Based, I gotchu!

Is the a reason not to buy an italian brand made in china? They sell for nothing for basically new mopeds. Reviews are great all over YouTube idk

>>28675810
apology accepted

>>28675791
266ish cc/cyl.

>>28675818
ask yourself WHY they sell for nothing
go back about a week and we had this discussion with a german who wanted to buy a cfmoto

the after sale (if you get from a "dealer") is non existent
spares, parts and repairs are few and far between
all user manuals are in terrible chinglish

people buy them new on tax incentive schemes
realise theyre shit, and cut their losses, then buy an established western or jap brand instead
dont waste your time getting burned,
theyre just skinsuit companies designed to help china shoehorn into the western market
you'll see the same with indian-made bikes in a few years, now that they own KTM, except the build quality will be even worse

>>28675820
apology for what, for saying trident 800 instead of saying trident 798?

>>28675818
No, used market is dominated by name brands, value is determined by name brand notoriety. Its why Gucci can sell a plain t shirt for $300, despite offering no advantage over any other $10 one.

China is already more advanced than the western world and Japan, its very likely better put together.

>>28675825
>non existent
>spares, parts and repairs are few and far between, all user manuals are in terrible chinglish
That's a local brand for us, we have both dealerships and parts. It's like you Indian motorcycles starts producing in china.

>>28675826

>>28675830
I didn't ask opinion of a chink swine, but proper people from EU and US.

>>28675831
just because they have a branch, doesnt mean they'll be useful
sometimes you'll break a niche part of your bike, like a clutch lever
and they'll only replace with brand parts, but that part isnt being produced right now, so you have to wait 2 months for them to batchmake it, then 2 months shipping, so youre without a bike for 4

many such cases

>>28675835

As always with CN bikes, how long are you planning on keeping it? Or at least how many miles?

Opinions on jewtuber FastLaneD? He seems to be based.

>>28676005
The good about that model is the engine is a near direct copy of the current honda 500cc ptwin if it is the same as the american sold ones. Only the top end is slightly different sized.

28676024
form your own opinions you leafnigger

>>28676029
Read second sentence fag. And answer the question

>>28675910
remember when these bike brands were based and had bike babes? I member.

>>28676005
>As always with CN bikes, how long are you planning on keeping it? Or at least how many miles?
It has 12K miles already. I was thinking of putting another 10 on it.
Alternatively I stop being a cheap bastard and shell out for a Japanese bike.

>>28676037
You think this is a damn good looking bike, you want one.

Yamaha.

>>28676072
Extremely based, heil glorious Nippon.

390 senpai, I found one more guy praising dji action 4. I'm a fooking idiot. I like the insta360 too. But for the price action 4 seems good.

>>28676072
GAY

>>28676052
Nta but id buy ural if it was around.

>>28676089
Yeah Insta360 is nice, but more expensive for no really any gain. The actual 360 camera from them is probably worth the insane price, if you want to set up a selfie stick behind you. I didn't really notice a difference between the action 5 over 4 to justify the cost increase, the only thing to note is that the battery on the 5 lasts way longer, but the 5 batteries actually work in the 4, so when you buy an extra battery you can just get the better one as your extra.

>>28676108
They only stopped producing bikes like a few months ago, focusing on parts instead and on keeping existing bikes on the roads.

>>28676093
Correct.

lmao

how much of an impact does getting new gloves wet actually make on their fit? i just got some new held phantom pros to replace my old phantoms in the same size but the fit is a little off on the new ones - left index knuckle is kinda tight and hot spotty and the thumbs have an extra 1/2" of empty leather at the tip. would soaking them in water and wearing them till they dry out fix that kind of thing or should i return them?

KTM building a baby MotoGP bike is kinda on brand for them. I do like the way it looks.

>>28676197
A lot of people thought it was going to be a re-skined Duke but I looks like it's a proper street legal track bike. It also has more HP than the R9 or the 2025 Panigale v2.

Most of these are made in so many synthetic materials that you'll make no change to them at all. What you're suggesting is a thing for materials that are organic like Cotton or Leather.

>>28676300
nothing, if it was still 1999

Why do you shill for those shitty overpriced bikes like this new KTM or ZX4RR or whatever you spam here, if you can easily buy a litre inline four for cheaper and will serve youore unless you kill yourself?

>>28676300
I watched a single Fort9 video on bike engines, I have made it my entire personality, and I demand that motorcycles except those with v4s should be made illegal for ownership in all countries in order to force manufacters to rapidly progress engine technology.

Buy the power of the "Free™" market and my wallet, I can do what I want.

>>28676307
>babby want new shiny toy
I can understand people wanting midrange bikes, like a 600rr, r6/r7, 636, gixxer750 etc. because realistically, youre more likely to be able to push that to its limits vs a leaderbike
but i dont get the 800-just under 1000 class of bikes, its just a leaderbike but worse, and youre not winning on emissions or tax or anything

>>28676301
>tiny fun 250
Tfw I will never get to ride a 19k rpm 250

>>28676314
800 is a great working horse category, like NC750X or F800. They are made specifically for less RPM which brings great reliability, huge service intervals and fuel economy.

Not sure I'd call changing the air filter on the 750 kino compared to it's older brethern, anon. But yeah, fucking Transalps rule.

>>28676420
>Not sure I'd call changing the air filter on the 750 kino compared to it's older brethern, anon
Yeah that air filter sucks, it's funny that 2 wheel dyno got a massive power gain by drilling a bunch of holes in the air box.

A magical land of infinite twists with grass run offs instead of steel barriers, trees, and cliffs to be dismembered by.

Learning to patch a tire today. So far so good.

Picked up an XR1200X from the local Honda dealer with less than 6000 miles. Fully aware that Harleys are gay but I've wanted one since they were new. It's joining my Enfield 650 and the CBR1000 project. Took it out to the Dragon two weeks ago, appreciating how I can actually sit upright.

>>28676581
Let us know when it's no longer OK.

>>28676593
>Fully aware that Harleys are gay but I've wanted one since they were new.
The gayest thing of all is letting memes keep you from doing what you want.

Finally fixed up my bike after 10 months. Feels so good to ride man!
>2002 Vulcan EN500
>did entire rear end
>rear tyre
>new drive chain (shit Chinesium Caltric for $40)
>rear sprocket
>new chain tensioners
>new rear brakes (these were a bitch)
>painted the scratches and dents from dropping the bike
>new rear brake lever
It still needs more parts though. Gonna do an LED conversion, gotta tighten the rear brake light spring, probably need to add a little fixaflat to the front tire, gonna swap the front brake pads, and bleed the front brakes. Moreover, I gotta buy a better chain, because this Caltric one rusts insanely fast. Also gonna tune the carb, swap the sparkplugs, and do an oil change before end of year.

Shop kitty's name is Buttercup. So far her favorite bike is the Ducati. She loves to rub up against the rear axle in particular of that bike and get her white fur all greasy. Lmao. Got her spayed. She's been in doors exclusively for a week now. I haven't seen the hawks in a while, so hopefully they moved on. I think they did in fact get the other cat with opposable thumbs before I was able to bring him inside and make him my own cat, but at least I was able to save Buttercup. I'm going to ease her back outdoors on Sunday, because I can tell she wants to go back outside. Hopefully, I can let her outside during the day while I'm at work so she can hunt mice, and bring her back inside to feed her at night.

>>28676481
I can see the difference in roads and road works lol.

>>28676638
Pretty girl. Interesting colouring, is she all white on the other side too? Best of luck keeping her safe, Anon. Cats are wonderful.

>>28676626
You have done more work on that vulcan than most people do on project bikes. Good job anon.

>>28676644
Thanks, I'm trying. I love cats. They are my favorite.
Yes, she is all white except for her tail and a little bit on the top of her head. It is an interesting color patch she has.
Her patches are almost orange but not quite. Like an very orangy brown or tan.

>>28675972
Do not fumble this anon.

>>28676593
I'd buy it for the vtwins, but cruisers and short suspension is the problem. If they are normal height, I got no problem. Which 650 and do you like it?

>>28676593
they should make one of these but as a scrambler

>>28676697
Telling him that will make him fumble, unironically.

Anon, just don't overthink it man. Just be cool. Treat her line you're not trying to fuck her. If she gives you flirty signs, reciprocate in turn.

Women are like cats. Don't put on an act. They will give you signs that they are into you and then you move. Don't chase or try hard, they will run.

>>28676645
The sad reality is no one on dbt knows how to hold a wrench. I've asked for help multiple times from this shithole thread, with exactly 0 results. It seems the only thing this place is good for is posting tranime. Luckily I have my trusty repair manual!

>>28676741
I only basic stuff and I try to help but if I don't feel confident to give good advice or an answer, I don't bother.

I think the best wrencher is the Finn, since he does it everyday almost. The other one was that Lalaloopsy poster, they helped one anon with a carburettor problem he was having.

>>28676847

That's a bit of an over generalisation.

>>28676832
Who wouldn't?

>>28676902
Me, I'm not really into sports bikes anymore.

Oh nono

>>28676849
What is that?
>>28676896
dbt is a heavy projector.

why dont motorbike manufacturers just put the gas tank under the seat? that would save space i think

also why did motorbikes move past the "motorized bicycle" early motorbike concepts? would a motorized bycicle still make sense ? at what point do you really need to turn a bicycle with an engine into a normal motorbike?

>>28676967
Both of those are things that they do nowadays. Or was this just extremely obvious bait I was too dumb to notice?

whats up with all these gay nu-liters?
>mt09-RR sounds like shit
>ktm990 rc is a 2 cyl, slow as fuck sounds like shit
>bottom tier panigale is a 2cyl, pretty much a liter but hangs with 600s of yesteryear
what else is there

>>28676967
Every seen how big all of the high performance motors airboxes are?

>>28676967
That's typically where shit like the airbox, battery, and other electronics go.
>also why did motorbikes move past the "motorized bicycle" early motorbike concepts?
Bigger engines
>would a motorized bycicle still make sense ?
With the same tiny engine, I guess. However you now have electrically assisted bicycles that will go just as fast if not faster and give you a very usable range for the same weight.
>at what point do you really need to turn a bicycle with an engine into a normal motorbike?
When it doesn't have pedals to propel the bike.

>>28676741
>repair manual

>>28676977
>electrically assisted bicycles
so bicycles with an engine, aka a motor? basically a motorbike sorta?

>>28676972

>>28677007
Jess christ lmao. The hypermotard is about as close as you're going to get.

>>28676972
It's I4's or nothing.
IMO the twins just sound like shit, I cringe every time some fuckboi in a cuckalel twin ninja with a straight cruises down the street and the V-twins are neutered to fuck. IMO, Ducati aside, the SV1000 was the last good twin and even then it was watered down from the watered down TL1000s.
Rip the 1997 TL1000S.

mountains

>>28677010
Bring back the Supermono. Single cylinder 798 Panigale would be kino.

>>28677019
I don't want any 2 cylinders at all unless they make proper literbike power, otherwise there's no pont

What's the reason to have VTwin over a parallel twin? In a car with 8 cylinders I can understand the idea of saving place over inline 8 under the hood, but for a motorcycle vtwin has actually bigger dimensions.

>>28676972
You can still get a cbr/gsxr/zx6r.
I rode an ‘04 r6 for years, bike was so nasty. *sips*

>>28677073
Less expensive to make because a V requires separate heads and all that

>>28677081
Bro read again what I asked.

>>28677082

How do you guys STILL not understand that you have to put an aftermarket exhaust on the new bikes to actually hear them?They all have like quintuple resonator breadbox mufflers and 1 or 2 cats. Of course they're not going to sound good stock.

This is now the second post I have made in this thread. I'm not saying it's a good thing, but I'd rather the bikes be made with fucked OEM exhausts rather than not made at all.

>but for a motorcycle vtwin has actually bigger dimensions.
Sure, but it doesn't matter if it's in the correct orientation.
V twins also have better cooling capabilities than parallel twins.

>>28677143
This is pretty irrelevant with liquid cooling.
>>28677073
Sometimes a more narrow frame is desired. Before crankshaft manufacturing techniques got as advanced as they are now, engineers had more freedom in regards to firing interval. Two of the same smaller cylinder head instead of one bigger cylinder head.

I am a diehard R9 hater, but I have to admit that the mods are looking pretty promising and they seem to be reliable. I will trust Two Wheel Dyno Works on just about everything.
In factory configuration, the R9 is still pretty meh tier. Especially with the cracked frames. However, if Yamaha could make the adjustments and squeeze these numbers out from the factory reliably, it would be a killer platform. Make it so you just need exhaust and tune when you pull it off the showroom floor.

>>28677353
I'm going to say this again, but why does anyone care about modifying sub-leaders to go faster when you can literally just go out and buy a used leader bike for less than just the mods cost to still be slower than a leader. I mean it probably costs more to get an R9 to 140 hp than just buying a brand new off the shelf R1 with 199 hp.

Both look generic and uninspired, so no arguments there either.

Thats what happens with BRAND SIMPERY, the retarded consumer cattle turn every hobby into simp wars and free advertisement for billion dollar companies. It becomes not about what YOU do, but rather what PRODUCTS do. Everything devolves into shitflinging faggotry about who's billion dollar company is owning whatever other billion dollar company.

I mean how LOW IQ do you have to be to spam pictures of hot chicks next to your favorite PRODUCT just like actual real life ADVERTISEMENTS do. Yet here on 4tard.org people just do it FOR FREE, literally completely and utterly unpaid, hell, the brands they worship don't even know they exist, the ultimate and perfected form of the consumer slave cattle achieved.

Started slowing down approaching a speed bum and when releasing the clutch before applying power i heard the clutch whine in first. What does it mean? Like it sounded like when you are starting a car with a bad alternator type of whine.

>>28677572
That's your clutch smoking itself because you can't shift, NBU (never buying used), GLWS (good luck with sale) and make sure to ask for MSRP (manufacturers suggested retail price) + tip.

>>28677581
How much should I tip the salesman and the financial manager if I’m buying a 10k motorcycle on an 84 month payment plan?

>>28677572
>Started slowing down approaching a speed bum and when releasing the clutch before applying power i heard the clutch whine in first.
Be sure it's the clutch and not just first gear doing first gear things.
Mine does the same thing when I shift into first and hold the clutch in, but only when it's in first. It's basically not a problem.

>>28677611
idk, more importantly though if its not NIB (new in box) you are buying a used motorcycle. just like most consumer products, motorcycles come in a box.

which Bike? it sounds like you have straight-cut gears/some gear wear, in which case a whine at these speeds is common and not worth thinking about. It just rides on the gear a bit.

>>28676967
>put the gas tank under the seat
they used to be like that, but as they got bigger and bike got more complex, it became a hassle
some of the BMWs their tanks in different places, like the F800GT having the tank at the back, and harley put the tank under the seat on the new (2022) nightster they tried a couple years ago, but it was massively inconvenient and people hated it, since it makes you more vulnerable at gas stations if you prefer to stay on your bike to refill
ergonomically it was actually a massive success, but practically its too annoying to deal with

Euro4/Euro5 emission and noise standards
every single bike you buy post about 2010-12, you have to put an aftermarket exhaust on
the manufacturers know this, the customers know this, the dealership knows this, the exhaust makers know this
but the prices dont come down, and even optioning exhaust on the model have to be noise and emissions restricted

I went to look at a 2018 fireblade recently (sue me, I like hoonder, fuck the litrebike "whos the best" arguments, rule of cool) and it had an aftermarket Akrapovic on it, but to buy the bike I had to also accept the dealerships stock Akrapovic(for free), which was euro4 and still connected to the cat, because they didnt want it, and they refused to sell the bike without it
its all a jewish scam

>>28677645
>under my feet

>>28677626
The alps and the dangerous woods is one of the best bikes Honda has ever made and I'm serious. If that's the bike, it's in great shape. you have to be cautious because these bikes are usually bought by people who want to run them into the dirt doing offroad things. That looks like stock footage so be on guard just buying these things off Facebook. They're honders, so you can fix them, but you can easily buy one where the juice isn't worth the squeeze

>>28677645
>>28677648
ergonomically its great, it lets you have a super low centre of gravity
but youre just pumping the gas slightly backwards to the motor
on a full sized bike, youre pumping it against the inertia(?) and usually upwards to the motor, making it costly and cumbersome

>>28677626
why not a 750 Africa Twin instead?

>>28677654
the only downside to having the petrol tank so low and between your feet is that it's difficult to get down and take a big sniff of the petrol to get high on the fumes. but with a 'normal' manual motorcycle you can sniff&ride all day.

that is indeed the bike in the picture, there are other pictures available, it looks clean with 50k kms on the clock (30k miles)
its being sold for 5k$, its pretty expensive for what it is, but a new transalp costs 20k$ here so the price isnt too unreasonable
i'm just concerned with parts availability if something breaks

it's one of two things, either he means your inseam length which varies from person to person. Or he's shitposting and thinks you're going to be gain 10 cm inseam length by "just lifting at the gym bro".

seatconcepts are your friend. Even if you buy the Transalp (I'm the anon that says you should stop arguing with yourself and do it) you should look into a lower seat height. Lowering kit, preload, and triple tree adjustments should be the last things you consider, but are still a possibility.

>>28677689
>im afraid i do have this build
I had to Purchase™ the optional lower seat for my XMAX which is a whopping 40mm lower than the stock seat. Perhaps that option is available for you too.

>>28677636
Yeah. But it was noticably louder than usually. Rebel 300. I kinda blanked out and realized I am approaching a speed bump and just quickly let go of the clutch though.

>>28677691
honestly you sort of convinced me, i own another 99 honda (accord) and im in love with it, and i want the new transalp but i dont have the money for that so i'm thinking of selling my CL and buying this, if i can

>>28677697
it's probably nothing. what has likely happened is you weren't thinking about noises like that until you dumped the clutch and became acutely aware that you could have caused a problem.

youre not supposed to be able to do that on every single bike you ride
when I ride my 1300GS I only flatfoot one side(5'8)
as long as the bikes moving, you dont need to foot down

if a 5'3 brown womanlet amerimutt can ride a GS, why are you afraid of a jap adv?

I'm lukewarm on if the new transalp is for everyone. the new transalp is fun, yeah, but is a maintenance behemoth. how do you change the air filter on the bike you're buying?

it's more capable for most things that its buyers are capable of, and it's undoubtedly the best in its class for everything else, the 92 hp hornet engine is a future classic
for the extra money something like a v-strom costs, you can upgrade the suspension on the new TA and have a better bike in every way

Can someone else besides 390 tranny bake?

Gentlemen, it is done. I bought the choppah baby. Fucking dumped it on a left turn in too high of a gear though. carb sputtered out and I gave it too much throttle while turning to keep it from dying, just ended up eating shit. A quick tuck and roll and I was back at it though. I dont know why down shifting feels sketchy. I really gotta figure out the sweet spot.

If I brake, and pull in the clutch and I'm in say 3rd gear, then let the clutch back out while giving it some throttle because "oops I didnt actually need to come to a complete stop" am I just going to eat shit? Please advise, I'd like to continue living.
