I wana ride my bike the weather is nice out i gotta wage affufuccCCCKCKKKKK

What's your unpopular motorcycling /opinion?

I think it's beautiful.

>>28701675 (OP)
>IMG_XXXX.gif

Need the new head/tail lights already.

Still no reply from seller.

Still in Nevada, escaping the goddamn winter. I've ridden the wheels off of this thing in the last while. 2200 miles to get here and a few thousand since. This photo is at 8000-ish feet up Mt.Charleston - I'll aim the camera at the view off it next time, this was just my view of my machine after I took a roadside piss and cigar break.

>>28701708
Water yew buyin'

>>28701720
I'm not far off in Pahrump. Enjoy vegas. Or at least try to, it's a shithole.

Shop hasn't done anything with it. Sitting outside there still in the rain. New tires nlt bought or fitted, no work the electric system of speedo, both of which I could do myself given the unlimited time they have had it there.

Went today and tbe assistemt didn't know anything. Might go back later today. My uncle is coming over on Thursday and I can't just show him nothing. Plus he cloud help me with some of the problems.

Not a great situation. Either means falling out with a shop that has been there since the 1950s and is full of oily goodness. Or just be cucked indefinitely as the months roll by.

Bikes are dangerous, I wish Yamaha made CARS, or Honda made cooler cars. Maybe I should buy a Suzuki Cappuccino but it's GAY

>>28701720
He replied. I'm buying a 2022 F850GSA, 20k km with a few mods on it.

>>28701759
Why don't you take it somewhere else? Seems like the shop fell out with you instead

>>28701765
Miat? Used S2K?

By H1B drivers I meant indian drivers, you dumb kraut.

it's kinda crazy, my best friend died on a fz6r last December, it's been nearly a year
will feel strange riding with one again but also nice
>>28701749
true...

>>28701769
Idk if it's smart to spend so much on a bike. It could be downpayment on a house.

>>28701770
Basically because the guy who runs it is really likeable and there is no more genuine looking bike shop than it. Plus a mob of scruffy bearded leather jacketed biker types popping in and out chatting. Not fallen out just they aren't getting on with it.

If I can get him to stick tires on it I think I can do the rest. The place is absolutely full of bikes in various states of disassembly and repair. I am not concerned about being cheated but I do want it done sometime and if they are really too busy I'll have to take it elsewhere. The only thing I really care about is the tires as I am not confident enough to do that myself. The rest I can do in my front room given unlimited time, which given the month or more that has passed I likely could have done myself by now.

Ideally they would just sort out the tires, speedo and electric charging in the last couple of weeks and it would be worth me paying someone to do something I would otherwise have to frig about fixing myself. But just not doing it is difficult and the riding months are flying by.

>>28701771
Miat is too smol at this point just buy a motorcycle

>>28701765
>Bikes are dangerous
This is a feature, not a bug

Where do I buy a key to make a spare of my Honda key? I went to the local key guy but they don't have my bike model type key

Techno nannies are crutches not tools and will arrest a riders development of skills.

No abs? No problem
No traction control? All in the wrist and balance
Rider modes? Fuck that gimmick.

I'd rather put it ALL on ME than blindly trust an algorithm that some software engineer nerd wrote presuming the world is some perfectly controlled enviornment when it's really an unpredictable and imperfect world that you must adapt accordingly to.

Is the KLR an adventure bike or a dual sport or neither?

>>28701675 (OP)
That's my bike!
>>28701700
Yeah

All of the Bakuon!! girls owe me sex.

thinking of getting a moped or just a motorcycle
how do you guys handle bad weather?
like a storm do you just have a car on standby or take a bus to work or wherever

>>28702006
I have a motorcycle rain suit that works really well. My baiku with 8 yr old tires isn’t very safe over ~35mph if the rain is very heavy

i have a car on standby, basically just for snow

I work from home, if you need a daily commuting vehicle and are a poorfag then you probably should get a cheap motorcycle or moped and save up for a cheap car, you can probably find a running moped under $500

Baker please update the Bakuon!! link. It goes to some malware site.

Ideally if you can find it online somewhere link to it but I had to get it off bittorent, without subtitles:

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:670dc15618201e124bc6c17b63aaa94ea7e0f71e&dn=%5BSFEO-Raws%5D%20%E7%88%86%E9%9F%B3%E5%B0%91%E5%A5%B3%20Bakuon%21%21%2001-12%2BSP%20%28BD%20720P%20x264%2010bit%20AAC%29&tr=http%3A%2F%2Fnyaa.tracker.wf%3A7777%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.stealth.si%3A80%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.torrent.eu.org%3A451%2Fannounce

Then I had to get the Enlgish subtitles here:
https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/ssearch/sublanguageid-eng/idmovie-1627924

Don't keep posting malware links, someone will likely click on it. Ideally someone would do a version with subtitles already or with and English soundtrack.

>>28701996
No they don't

>>28701765
Buy any generation MR2. Yamaha and Toyota are the same thing anyway.

>>28701964
Is it because they're cool and sporty?

>>28701792
Been back. He is going to just fix the tires and the electric connection. I will sort out the speedo and any mystery oil leak. I will pick up on Thursday irrespective of state so he does what he has time for by then. Even if only the tires.

Obviously a very good bloke. Looks rushed off his feet.

What fullface helmets are considered the most compact from the outside? Like brand

Looking at buying a 20-30 year old bike because apparently emission/noise levels have killed all the simple (re:as little electrical connectors on that fucker as possible) single/twin cylinder dual sport with a windscreen and rear rack in the 45-60hp range close to the 400lbs range. Everytime I read some history on one, it goes the same way.
> 600cc Transalp
Damn near non-existent in the US. Bitching fairing design though.
>xt660r
Never sold in the US.
>2000s KLE
Never sold in the US.
>nx650
Ditto

So, I guess that leaves finding a rare f650gs Dakar or KTMs 640, one of which is apparently a bitch to try and fix in the field and the other has notable cam/throttle issues. Someone mentioned trying to dress up a xr650r, but the oil change service interval on those is 600mi according to the manual, so not a great fit for putting on highway miles.

Anything else I should be looking for instead?

>>28702113
I'm convinced helmets have gotten fatter over time.
I think the new safety standards are doing more harm than in good in making larger bobblehead helmets.
>>28702114
GS500

>>28702113
>which full face helmets offer the least amount of protection?
does helmet make head look big?

ill be real honest: i am a retard who is old (26), has a poor sense of balance and I would say a totally average hand-eye coordination.

I only want a bike license because I like working on engines and my aunt just gave me a busted 500cc motorcycle for free which I have almost finished repairing - I finished the engine rebuild and just need to do the wheels and that now.

since I have spent half a year working on this bike, I want to ride it, despite me being (in my opinion) a naturally sub-par motorcyclist. the only factor working in my favour is that I have zero ego and no desire to do anything more exciting than trundle along to the local pub via country backroads.

given all of that context, if I get my license and start riding, will i die? are motorbikes really as dangerous as redditards would have me believe, or can a knuckledragging neanderthal like me get by with a little prudent caution?

>>28702114
An XR650L (any year) will do what you're asking. It's not fancy, it's not fast, but it's braindead simple to work on and can handle freeways and getting beat to shit for years on end.

Time to put this ridiculous thing away 'till spring.

>>28702128
woah it's so big and rare

>>28702125
I am looking at the dr650/650l as a fallback, but the problem there is the air cooled singles get lime 35hp at the rear and they opted for a 5 speed gear box. I understand why, but I'm going to be rattling the shit out of wither bike for a 2-3 hour ride on the highways here.

>>28702069
Hope it works out anon

>>28702128
Holy shit an MT-01 in the wild!

>>28701675 (OP)
I was working and opening my motors cover to do the check shims valve, then I saw something inside...

>>28702162

>>28702165
totally cooked

got a hold of some milsurp "winter kit" which is like thermal underpants and a thermal shirt, it looks pretty kino, and i bought a green wool neck gaiter that goes great with it
Im gonna make the best out of this autum and winter

What’s an actually good helmet that’s sort of quiet and warm and does not make me look like an adv dad or street rossi? I always bought cheap HJC but doing commutes now too.

>>28702128
I'm not sure if it's fucking hideous or so ugly it's almost cool

>>28702178
Shoei RF line?

>>28702128
If I buy this and park outside it's gonna be stolen next night, isn't it? Or they are old and thief don't care about old machines?

Suzuki is actually cooking something SV-related:
https://www.motorcycle.com/bikes/new-model-preview/what-is-the-suzuki-sv-7gx-44654266

>>28702206
Oh shit.
Could this be... something cool?

Also still waiting on that Can-Am ICE bike.

>>28702212
Maybe this thing is the real spiritual successor to the GS500. With an extra 300CCs

>>28702206
Please be real.

What GX stands for tho, tourers? In the trash it goes

>>28702134
It's really not so bad. I used to ride my 650L for 3-4 hours at ~80mph on the highway to visit my girlfriend every weekend and it never let me down. I just had to stop for gas along the way because it has a small tank. The gearbox on the XR is very wide range and 5th is nice and tall - especially if you swap one or both of the sprockets to bring the highway RPM down further.

~23000 miles on mine.

The horsepower numbers are really uninspiring but it gets the job done better than you think. Still, if you're never planning to take it off the road at all you're probably better off with an old CB500 or something.

>>28702225
WHY THE FUCK DO THEY MAKE THE REAR END SO SHORT.
I WANT USABLE FUCKING SPACE YOU FUCKERS.
YOU PUT AN EXTRA 2 FOOT FENDER EXTENSION ON IT ANYWAYS. JUST MAKE THE FUCKING TAIL LONGER

>>28702173
Is is the beige polypropylene stuff? Does the top have a zippered collar?

>>28702206
I don't understand Suzuki, they might be genuinely dumb.
This should be a track weapon in full plastic, classic looking perhaps like RGV.
Why would they make another GX shit for boomers

>>28702240
No, fuck off.

>>28702249
FUCK YOU
GIVE ME A FULL BACK SEAT

>>28702250
anon?

>>28702242
its just a base layer to wear underneath your actual clothes, kinda looks like a pijama set - picrel
it did include a green sweater too with a little zipper for the neck part but that tends to get way too warm and once it does, it doesnt transpire at all so i barely ever use it

>>28702251
You'd have to be a Pilipino midget to use that rear seat

>>28702124
No, you a fine. Even Indians and far-eastern bugmen ride motorcycles. No problem for an Englishman (which I take you to be from the idiom).

Do direct access course, pass and start riding. But if you want a long spell learning pre-test you will need something <125cc as you can't ride 500cc as a learner.

Looking to buy a used CBR600RR 2016 that's been sitting for over two years.

Engine sounds good apart from what im guessing is a cam chain tensioner noise that goes away after the bike warms up, what im getting told from friends is that this is a small and easy fix.

Bike has been dropped but nothing serious from what i saw, just a straight up drop from the kickstand.

The big issue im having is debris in the fuel tank, im not sure if there was rust on the inside of the tank walls. it was daytime and i only had my phone flashlight. i for sure saw some minimal rust on the top metal part of the fuel tank (the metal border thing of the tank)

How does this whole thing sound to you guys yay or nay? A massive upside to this whole story is a steal price 7k euros looking to bump it down to ideally 6.5k (where im from prices are really inflated)

Thoughts?

>>28702282
turns fuel into noise very cool bike

>>28702271
I wouldn’t buy this unless it were an absolute steal, which 7k is not. tell him if he fixes the noise and lets you test ride it you’ll go 7k, otherwise you can’t see yourself spending over 5k as its likely going to need thousands to become roadworthy and there are plenty of bikes out there

>>28702253
perfect for lolis

>>28702282
>Thoughts
Oh nononono

>>28702290
I like my lolis with a fat ass. I need a bigger seat than that.

>>28702253
Are you into /adventure/ women?

>>28702018
where do you recommend I look for a moped?
I saw some cheap chinese ones for like $800 on amazon
do you think law enforcement are gonna care enough to look up whether or not it's an actual moped to see if I have a bike license

>>28702297
Need a reinforced lazyboy for that

I'm going to restore my old Yamaha Aerox; I need some gasoline to see if the engine starts.

>>28702320
LMAO.

>>28702302
I would spend $800 on a used moped before I spent it on a new one. FB marketplace/Craigslist would be your best bet. Don't worry about the cops, they're going to assume you have any license you need unless they pull you over and find you don't. And they're not going to do that unless you do something stupid

we don't really have an answer for that because the best helmet is the one that fits you
I would say Arai only because they are completely circular.

clutch kit is installed, previous one was a ebc and I deleted the judder spring at the same time. It would slip until it got pretty hot, never had great feel. Even tried swapping from synthetic to normal oil and didn’t help. Thinking the assembly was maybe too thin.
went with a tusk kit and it’s biting real good now. Also used an extra thick steel to bring up the thickness a little. Not sure if that was the problem or not.
I always change like 3 things at the same time so I never really know.
Still a lot to learn
Thx for reading my tweet
Oh I need new tires. Debating:
Dunlop 605 - stock 50/50 suck ass in mud
D606 - never run these, 90/10 off-road but expensive and the bulk of my miles are on road

>and never leave it outdoors
As much as I'd like to do that I can't in my current apartment. Maybe I do gotta look into getting a different place. Hard to find cheap places that have suitable storage for a bike. It would have to be a small terraced house (is that the word?) with a storage shed at the front but most of those sheds aren't big enough or the door is awkwardly placed that you couldn't get a bike in even if they were long enough.

For now it's at my dad's old house but I can't afford to buy the house for myself. My brother is thinking of buying the rest of us out and if he does maybe I can store it there for a couple years which would give me time to figure it out.

kill yourself you desperate faggot

I want to go hit the twisties south of me again sometime soon, but I've been nervous as fuck lately. Had to ditch cops a couple of times recently and last time I was out there I blew past a state trooper and just kept going.
Texas is ramping up on traffic enforcement lately too. Kinda just makes me want to go do an open track day instead, but that eats up your entire day.

It's out, brothers. And it's good.

Episode 2 cuts a bit too close to home. So much lost because some rich asshole wanted to be on top.

I think the only time I've gotten a ticket in my 18 years of riding was from a cop that never mentioned whether or not he had a bike too.
The cops with bikes at home let me off of so much shit it was unreal. Hell, even the two ambo drivers that responded to me being t-boned told me bikes are dangerous, then find out one had a Hardley and the other a GSX1400. The cop that turned up to write the report owned a Busa lmfao.
I was overwhelmed at how many of them owned bikes in their line of work. Maybe it's an NZ thing.

>>28702914
The only time I've been pulled over was for riding without a helmet, but other than that the cops seem to go out of their way to avoid me.

>>28702943
It's easier if you can calculate the differential pressure across the venturi then plot that on a graph with rpm and liter per minute flow rate to determine the ideal jet size

>>28702943
Not completely useless, it's just that theoretical =! real world, or rather, that turning carbs are extremely difficult but the practical solution of trial and pulling plugs is a shortcut to bypass all the math.

>>28702902
This is why my bike burns oil, is a feature not a bug. Cops want to follow me will need to breath my overjetted carbureted 1099cc oil burning catless fumes sometimes i dump a while can of berryman b12 into a 4gal tank for extra brain damage fumes

Suzuki makes some of the most beatiful baeks and I say it as Yamaha shill. Their new p-twins are ugly tho, but the other bikes are fine.
They should make a V-Twin 700cc RGV and I'll be sold for life.

/it's-over/

>>28702994
>Their new p-twins are ugly tho
even these?

>>28702994
>Their new p-twins are ugly tho

>>28702999
All p-twins are ugly.

>>28703015
What about old carbureted, air-cooled, Ptwins?

>>28702999
Yes. 8S Looks normal, 8R and 8T are ugly

>>28703019
>8S Looks normal
Nigger what the fuck, how old are you? This looks like the most insectoid chinkbike of all time.
This shit sucks.
The T and TT looks way better.
The R is ugly too like you said.

>>28703018
I have a soft spot for oldschool carbed and aircooled,my but brain just can't P-twins and desu I dislike how a vast majority of them sound.
IMO the only thing about my XR400 I don't like is the dual headers.

>>28703023
We're more alike than I thought. I've embraced the boring sound of my old air-cooled PTwin. The "sewing machine" criticism is real, but I don't mind anymore. I have enough bikes that I can mix it up if I need to.
I can't @ new PTwins though.
>XR400 I don't like is the dual headers
I've always felt that as well, DR350 master race
No but really I love the XR400 too, great bike.
I've seen Mondo Enduro 100x and Monda Sahara just as much

It's real XR400 propaganda.

Thanks friend, I'll give it a watch when I have some spare time.

>>28703048
I'm sorry
I'm fucking confused.
Suzuki ended the V-strom line, because they put a PTwin in it, make it a P-strom, but then made a new V engine anyways, and made another V-strom, but now call it an SV-7?
Why the FUCK
wouldn't they just make THIS the V-strom????!?!!?!?!??!?!?!

THAT'S A GODAMN GENIUS RIGHT THERE IF I'VE EVER SEEN ONE

How come I just can't like "objectively" good bikes, so basically anything japanese.
I just feel absolutely nothing for them, riding them sparks no emotion at all, looking at them makes me just go "ew".

>>28701910
Spoke to the dealer, did a bit of research about them, they seem legit. I'll be the third owner, should I be concerned. All service records are available, they were done at the BMW showroom. I wanna buy desu. Any reason I shouldn't? I know it's not a Honda, but anything else?

>>28703051
The real question is why would they need two bikes in the same class.
V-stop=P-storm, SV=8S
And let's not forget that below 650cc range they only have like one 250cc bike. One bike from 0 to 650, yet they make a lot of new bikes in the 650-800cc range, they're just stupid as hell

>>28703071
Are you wearing full leather suit while riding in town?

>>28703073
Obviously some sort of emissions dogshit is getting in their way.

>>28703051
It is an affront to the T501 for sure.
They did it dirty with the TL1000R and then with the SV1000, then the DL1050, now look what they've done. Disgusting.

Only Yamaha gives people what they want. They wanted a sportbike for daily use and a track weapon - R7 was born.
People wanted a supersport with better power delivery - Yamaha gave them R9.
They wanted something fancier than a stock XSR900 - Yamaha delivered the GP version.
People wanted a new Tenere to larp as Dakar winners - it's here.
Now some people want a CP3Tenny and oh boy they'll get it.
People wanted some unmolested supersports without restriction - Yamaha kept the mighty R6 and never cucked its engine.

What did Suzuki make right in the last two decades? No racing SV, no RGV heritage models, some ugly heavy ass p-twins with the same riding postion and a DRZ no one's gonna buy.

>>28703246
Honda ofc. Second is Suzuki. R7 is a disgrace to the Yamaha's potential. Do better.

I bought a scorpion exo r1 evo 2 recently, the smallest size which could fit me, but it doesn't fit properly for going fast, sliding a bit down onto my face and not staying snug, cutting my vertical FOV.
Is there some kinda padding I can use to fix that, or did I fuck up with sizing the helmet?

>>28703249
>Only 40k USD
>What you don't like it?
>Are you poor?

Why the fuck would TVS do this? They need to launch competitive products. You can't be an underdog and launch premium products, at least not sustainably. Don't become MV Agusta, or some boutique brand, become the next RE or CFMoto. Come on TVS, you can do better.

>>28703267
>did I fuck up with sizing the helmet
You fucked up, sell it and get a new one.

>>28703271
Oh boy I can't wait to try and sell a used helmet!

They're the same picture

Don't feed (you)s to stupid R7 niggers. Why would you do this without getting paid? I'm disappointed in Yamaha.

>>28701675 (OP)
never had a bike and I'm wondering how to tell if the helmet isn't too thight. I ordered L, XL and M and L and XL fit snugly but comfortably but the strap at the bottom either only starts to fit at the tightest position, or is always loose even tightened to the max. M is really snug, to the point of pushing my cheeks upwards, which looks funny, but doesn't squeeze my cranium that hard, so I don't think it would give me headaches. both L and M are really difficult to put on and off, M almost ripped my ears off. I'm gonna be riding only Yamaha DT 50 at first (no license required and 60mph/92kmph unlocked so it's not that bad) then plan on getting a license in the spring, so I got an integral one in case I get a decently fast bike next year.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nebpSB7FK3E

Chink V4 superbike with active front aero winglets for some reason

>>28703297
Ask the person at helmet shop. If M doesn't have any pressure points and covers your whole head, pick this. L, also seem fine from your description.

Try to fit it like pants, measure your head with a tape, then the size of the helmet should be mentioned in the size sheet. So M in cm, L in cm etc. If the particular helmet doesn't fit, move on to a different model or brand. Different helmets have different head shapes, oval round etc.

IMO, your cheek should be snug, if someone tries to pull the helmet off without it strapped, it should feel like your head is coming off, so feeling like your ears are being torn off is a good sign. Your helmet will get lose in a month's use I think, like pussy, it gets loose over time.

>>28703299
The winglet is size of a katana? Could not be anything other than a shit AI render, if not, CFMoto lost the plot.

>>28703307
I already checked the size chart and measured my head and my size should be M according to this. no bike shops nearby that I know of, I was able to try out 3 sizes, because I ordered them (can return for free within 30 days), first got XL instead of M by mistake, then ordered M again and decided to get L too just in case, because XL didn't seem 2 sizes too big.

It's not my fault Suzuki can't make a fucking RGV650.

anyway should I?

>>28703469
Are you going to ride it? If yes, then keep it. Otherwise I'd sell it to somebody who will. No sense in just letting it sit unless it has that much sentimental value to you

>>28703469

Scooter bad because can't travel. I know approximately 90% of all americans do not leave their town ever, but I have countries to visit until I die. So Honder 500cc+ it is.

What, if anything, would make you give up riding? I sold my bike about a month ago after my third crash and already miss it like crazy. Originally I said I was going to get a sports car to replace it, but I'm wondering whether or not that's really going to scratch the itch, and not only are they fucking expensive, but they're also totally gutted by safety and emissions standards in a way motorcycles aren't.

Gentlemen, i have accidentally crossthreaded a frame bolt hole while trying to mount a frame guard ironically enough. This happened because the exhaust was in the way and i was too hamfisted. Now i get to remove the exhaust pipe then attempt a thread chaser and/or helicoil. What a mess I have made. How can I prevent further fuckups?

Please share your dumb maintanence or mod mistakes where an innocuous error becomes a time and money waste.

>>28703547
They took my license once and I didn't stop riding. I did keep it mellow for that year, though. Stopped at all the stop signs, and so on. Even payed my registration on time.

>>28702128
Noice

>>28703574
Gentlemen? where?!
we can take ‘em…

My dumb maintenance error is i snapped the head off a bolt while removing the PO’s license plate on my backup transportation. I have no solution for this, my plate is just hanging from one bolt for now. Also the bolt head is stuck in the socket bad enough that i just bought a new one.

>>28703574
You're probably fine. There will be good threads left deeper in.
When I do fux0r a hole I generally don't go for the helicoil first, If it's a metric hole I drill and tap it for the next Imperial size up. You get like 40% thread engagement instead of 60%, and if you fuck it AGAIN there's still room for a helicoil.

>>28703584
Imperial bolts hold the cams in my kz1000

>>28703584
Hole is a metrix m8 1.25. Have you ever compared results of tapping vs. thread chaser? I am a total novice and just doing what Ari Henning tells me to on Revzilla's youtube channel. Trying the thread chaser before trying helicoil...

The thing that scares me is removing and reinstalling the exhaust system because it requires removal of horn, exhaust pipe, muffler. I must be brave.

>>28703597
Drilling tapping and helicoil are only for after the chaser fails.

Why would you want this over a V-Strom 800? Genuine question, unless it's significantly cheaper I don't know why it should exist.

>>28703732
I dont like riding big fast bikes as much as i like riding medium sized medium speed bikes (in general).

>>28703739
That's why the middleweight godbike exists (and its slightly ugly successor the NX500). The SV-7GX will make about 50% more power than your bike.

>>28703762
I dont think it would be wrong of me to say that my NC700 is SLOW
i have more fun on faster bikes (bikes of medium speed) but I've always kept the NC (almost a decade now) because of other factors. I can't buy another new NC because they stopped selling the manual in the US and I would rather stop riding than ride DCT bikes.
So I am aware the suzuki will definitely be faster. Pretty much everything is faster.

>>28703770
>because they stopped selling the manual in the US and I would rather stop riding than ride DCT bikes
It's funny how much it differs in the US. People in europe don't feel elitist for driving manual because it's normal but in the US everyone drives automatic so those who actually use manual feel special and rather stop riding whatsoever if they stop being treated special. Lul

>>28703792
So elitist of me to

I would probably stop hunting if they banned crossbows because thats an aspect of it that I really like. Am I a crossbow elitist?

>>28703799
>I'd rather stop riding if they removed kick starter and forced me to press a starter button
Well if it's not elitism the other option would be stupid.

>>28703801
Whats your contention? That i'm enjoying the wrong thing? Am I having fun wrong?

There is nothing wrong with parallel twin motorcycles.

>>28703527
The only thing that would really stop me is a physical disability that straight up kept me from riding. Getting in a wreck didn't stop me, getting married didn't stop me, and having kids isn't going to stop me. The law wont stop me because I don't ride like a fuckhead anymore in places where cops hang out.

>>28703792
that's just because you don't hear from the people that drive manuals and never gloat about it

>>28703792
nta but it's genuinely different with bikes. Sequential manuals are just so good that I don't want to give them up, and I say that as someone who drives two automatic cars.

How about stripping a headbolt on my DR because the manual says "oil the threads of the headbolt" which I took to mean "dunk the headbolt in oil" so I guess the threads hydrolocked and when I went to torque them down It destroyed the threads.
I installed an amazon, off-brand helicoil which apparently was the wrong thread pitch, so I had to once again order a non-head bolt that happened to be the right length and thread pitch to match the now installed helicoil.

Only to learn after that I should installed a "time-sert" made for headbolts.

It's holding for now, but there's no way this won't have unintended consequences down the road.
I also learned that head-bolts tend to be special and it was a really bad idea to throw in that bolt.
Live and learn I guess.

>Do you hate it because it's cheap?
I don't dislike the BMW in particular. I just hoped BMW was going to break out of this A2 compliance, $6k MSRP, lowest common denominator bullshit. I'm grumpy because I'm realizing we will never get anything between "new rider friendly!" 450s borrowing street bike engines with anemic torque under 3k rpm and trading ground clearance for flat footing, and top heavy 450lbs 75hp chonkers that salivate at your LCL the moment you glance at a berm.

I wish there was a market for a 375lbs 55hp bike with adjustable front suspension, metal handguards, thick bash plate, and some God damn low down grunt in the $8-10k price range, but we're never going to see it because people will just say "I can buy a T7 for that!"

>>28704088

>>28704089
Yes, but I want it water cooled. So not the dr650 because the fans would rightfully crucify me. So take the xr650l and put the 650r's engine and forks in it.

Does the DRZ400 not fit that?

>>28704097
It comes to T7 doesn't it. Or get a transalp and mod it.

>>28704088
Pretty sure there are a few Chinese companies doing that.

what's up with you trannies idolizing men with colored hair lol, were you the one that posted the 40yo chink male with blonde hair yesterday?

>>28704099
Both the drz and dr650 are lucky to see 35hp at the rear wheel. Both trade quite a bit of high end for longevity and relaxed service intervals. Dual sports sacrifice a lot of rider comfort on the alter of dirt as well.

I can live without 15-20hp on that cp2. Put it on a diet and call it the xt550z. I know some guys who would get a kick out of that.
