the weather was pretty nice lately, it was sunny most of the times and the temperature was around 20 degrees celsius
It's gonna be a bit more cloudy in the next few days, so I don't know
But Tbh I have so many pictures of my bike it's hard to find new interesting stuff, and because of that I don't take the big camera that often on my rides anymore. I need new ideas

>>16924016

I got a motorcycle and it is such an unreliable piece of shit

It stalls at every stop light.

The engine knocks about and sounds like it will explode any second.

Everything is rusted and falling apart,

Why did I have to fucking do this, I should have got myself a fucking car.

If you get into track shape, learn to fast, make bike friends, crash, recover, crash again on the track and continue getting in shape and improving... they still won't jump on you, but at least you'll have a passion to talk about and will learn all sorts of stuff. I know you're trolling, but it's real talk pham.

>>16924111
Non bike autists think my bike is cool and shit.
They do think it is capable of proper off-roading though.

Got a bunch of wiring to do (PDU, charger, dual-camera). I'd normally solder, but there's nowhere I can work on the bike that has a power socket even vaguely nearby, which means crimping. Are the bog-standard red/blue/yellow pre-insulated butt-splice crimps OK (coupled with adhesive heat-shrink for waterproofing), or do I need to splash out on something more specialised?

>>16924111
thats a half truth

Its true you can see a lot of middle aged males on adventure bikes with ridiculously cute young girls als pillions at every riders meeting-point.

they arent in it for the money though.

>SO GIRLS WILL TALK TO ME

If you want this ride all weather year round. You will be asked "Aren't you afraid of crashing?" at least once a day if it is raining and wearing your gear.

Tinder has been good to me since I started putting emphasis on the motorcycle thing. Good in the 'ride your motorcycle over here and fuck me' sense. Women are driven to have sex and have fantasies they want to fulfill just like men. Also, go for a bright colorful helmet & accents. Pair this with black/dark grey jacket and slightly lighter pants. This is basic fashion shit, and if your are going to drop a couple hundred bucks on this stuff, make sure it looks good together. Don't be pic related.

Always carry a skid lid incase some teenage rebel girl wants a ride somewhere down the road.

>dear diary-ing the fuck out of these threads
kitkat isn't the only one who can't buy a quart of oil without blogging here about it.

Tripfags are the worst.

Is slip-on 'compatibility' really a thing, or are silencers the same damn thing and as long as the bore is the right diameter and you have a mounting bracket that will fit you can slap pretty much anything on anything (barring 2-smokes with their flow nonsense) and it'll work just fine?

>anon's this bootblasted about SAM
>no mention about SEM
really twisted my wrist

>>16926089
used to be slip ons were mostly intercompatible as long as you got the right pipe idameter.

newer bikes (i.e. post-late 2000's) started going to fancy (read:heavy) formfitting underbody exhausts. Mostly to fit cats and have large muffler volumes to meet noise regulations.

With these newer bikes slip ons arent as easy as they used to be. Not just a stright muffler that you slip on a straight pipe. many bikes the exhaust is all one peice from the header to the cats to the muffler with only a superficial slip on being removable and changeable mostly for aesthetics.

Typically the header/muffler/cat peice exits at a cant and is low on the frame requiring a application specific bend in the post-mid pipe and slip on segment. Workable if you can eyeballl it and find something close or do a bit of light fabrication yourself but really its all about buying the right exhaust for your bike.

Gone are the days when you could easily swap one slip on from one bike to a completely different bike easily.

You can thank noise and emissions laws.

The more important question is whether you need to re-map the fuel delivery after installing aftermarket exhaust.

Answer one of my questions please nog

You guys are going to the wrong places if women aren't hopping on your dick over your bike.
There's two separate biker bars near where I live that are packed full of women trying to get on some bikers dick.
Granted it helps if you don't have a bitch bike, but I've slept with at least half a dozen women from there because my bike sparked the conversation.

Haven't picked up chicks in a while because I'm married and put on 40lbs, but my wife is a qt3.14 flip. Which is more asian than any of the fucking weebs on this board could ever dream of.

I thought the 701 was plug and play with TuneECU? The 690 is.

>>16926650
Can't see it on the video, but the driver's an older Asian woman talking on her cell phone, so most of the stereotypes are covered. Couldn't tell you about neurodevelopmental disorders, can't see them from outside the van.

Does the temptation to hoard all kinds of bikes ever stop?

>>16926688
>>16926699
The airbox in the 701 is massive, if you replace it with a pod filter, you have enough space in the frame for a 6L secondary fuel tank.

>>16926712
That hasn't been the case since 2012 or 2014 I believe on the 690, but I can tell you 100% certainly that you can't use TuneECU on the 701.

Get the thou, or an MT10. The engine in the GSXS1000 is the naked version of the gsxr1000 k5 pretty much and that bike is mad fun. Plenty of low down torque for a big bike, but not sure if it's factory restricted.

I started on a 600 and moved to a liter within 7 months, you'll be ok.

>>16926813
Yeah but would it be worth the thousand ++ $ more that the grander would cost?
I feel like I wouldn't really be bored with the power of the 750, but I may be wrong

>>16926812
Because they are every bit as pig-headed and uninformed as you. Jump off the pier with your friends, or grab the "user setting tool" from http://www.ktm.com/us/service/maintenance/

>>16926823
I think it's totally unnecessary but definitely worth it.

>>16926824
You are wrong. Show me one youtube video or forum post of someone using it on a 701 and I'll buy you a motorcycle.

>>16926797
My bike history:
Mt50, got bored so put a 100cc engine in it
ER5 - passed test, got bored
VFR800 - first big bike and VTEC JUST KICKED IN YO!, more than enough power but got stolen by niggers
Current: GSXR1000, too much for the road but couldn't go back to a smaller bike now. Nice not revving the tits off it to go anywhere but low speed riding <30mph is a chore.

The hypernakeds are geared more for road riding though, and the engine in the gsxs is a detuned version but retains the low down shove. Why are you going from a 300cc to a 750? Because you are bored of the power? My advice would be to try both - if planning to keep get the litre, if you are selling <12 months get something else second hand as you take a big hit in the first 12 month

>>16926687
Generally I've found the similar class (ie Shoei xr1000, xr1100, NXR) are the same, but switch to the enduro style and they aren't quite the same. Or that neotec cancer that's a bit like wearing a block of concrete on your head

>finally stop at final light, light turns green as he pulls up, i've been waiting for it to change

how embarassing, getting beat by a 649cc twin on a straightaway, after dumping what must amount to thousands of dollars on cosmetic nonsense at this point

That's incredible. I wonder what it's like to swim in a helmet? would probably be super weird.

>>16927298
Nah, in the description he says he rode it 22k miles after this.

>>16927318
It's pretty weird to swim in clothes already

>>16927291
It's funny how little you have to try on a halfway decent bike to make anything but seriously tuned cars eat exhaust.

>>16927114
No, I genuinely wanted a 250/300 because I knew I was immature by the way I pushed it in my FWD honda econobox and needed something slow and nimble with consistent power to not crash on

>>16927291
>>16927362
SV650 is as fast as a turbo Porsche for $2500

>>16927378
>650cc v twin
>fast as a turbo porsche
dude sv650's top out at like 115, most cars are able to attain that
if you are talking about a straight line to a light, then sure, you would have to drop some serious cash to keep up, but once you hit 115, it's only a matter of time

>>16927369
More that the 500/650 models while having more power than 250/300's aren't the 100hp@13krpm twitch monsters that 600s are. More around 65hp@10krpm. Little less aggressive seat setups too. Seems like the better fallback than a 600?

>>16927420
This. 650's are learner bikes.

>>16927381
sv650 naked tops out at 130

>>16927423
fair enough, any "sporty" car should be able to hit 130 reasonably well enough

what are some cars that would pull on an sv650 from a light, straight 0-60? dealer stock, not modded

>>16927431
C6 ZR1 or Z06 might just beat it out from 0-60

>>16927431
I've always heard a good rule of thumb for supersports is as much horsepower as the bike has CCs, though the SV is obviously not a supersport, I'd figure somewhere in the 400-500 horsepower area.

>>16927381
You're wrong, and also who gives a shit about top speed? I'm taking about 1/4 or 0-60

>>16927448
what would be the fastest street legal bike for a 100m dash?

ive raced some pigfat cruisers off a light, and they went off like a fucking cannon. didnt lift front wheel because lulcruiser, but sweet fucking jesus it looked like it would peel your lips off if you didnt have a full face helmet

somebody mentioned it was some type of new tech for v-twins, but i forget what it was, though it sure makes those 1200-1600cc+ beasts MOVE

>>16927448
ROCKET 3

>>16927457
Probably one of the big power cruisers (VMAX, rocket 3, diavel) though I think a 450 motocross bike with launch control would dominate a short sprint like that.

>>16927457
Yea. My cruiser has torque for days. I've jumped the front shell a few times. Def makes your butthole tight. Shits fun man

>>16927448
>I'm taking about 1/4 or 0-60
98% of riders cant get anywhere close to advertised 0-60 or 1/4 mile times. Keep trying though.

>>16927482
That also holds for drivers.

>>16927457
VMax
Rocket III
H2
Busa

>>16927482
We're not comparing pilots we're comparing vehicles. I said an SV650 is as a fast (acceleration) as a turbo Porsche. It's true.

>>16927489
>drag busa
Those things are so ugly though.

>>16927457
It's called torques.

My slow pig fat bike can even win from a GTR (when it doesn't use launch control) because of it.

>>16927496
Looks are subjective

>>16927486
Its much easier for a driver to run a 10 second 1/4 mile in their GTR than it is for a squid to run a 12 on his s1000rr

>>16927496
I didn't say they weren't I just answered the question.

WTF is it retard hour or something right now? Fucking unemployed morning Australians posting or something?

>>16927522
You're the dumbest person online regularly, fuck off

>>16927503
Isn't the S1000RR in pin and win it territory as far as electronics go? I mean it's a bit easier for the GT-R driver to not spaz out and slam the steering wheel to the side while he's getting launch controlled into the next postal code than for the bike guy to not unbalance the wheelie but I'd think it's a joke compared to launching a Blackbird or K1.

>>16927546
>bmw
>good electronics
Son...

>>16927546
S1000RR's have terrible wheelie control and the rider still has to manually release the clutch. Doing the best time on an S1000RR will involve not letting the wheelie control cut in and releasing the clutch effectively, this is all very easy to do because S1000RRs are mechanically well sorted but....

A GT-R is literally pressing a button and letting it do it for you, it releases the clutch, you can leave it on auto and the computer just sorts it all out.

They should use that in their sales pitch

>>16927574
I'm a BMW fan, fuck the electronics. It only is more shit that can and will go wrong.
