What do?

Getting pretty comfy with accelerating on my 600. Hate to say it but these bikes really aren't that fast. I think 1st gear is the most exciting and that ends at about 70mph but gettig up to the end of third gear at 120 is pretty boring

>>16938510

Does /dbt/ think the BMW G310R would be a good daily commuter? I usually rack up about 8k miles a year; live in Florida so I can ride year round.

I've heard some horror stories about reliability on BMW bikes. I want to decide between this one or the Honda CB300F

Same height as clip ons for a sport bike, this model uses a riser and single bar setup rather then clip ons. Also, depends on rider height/ reach, these fit me fine, any lower and I'd be in Ducati "just break my wrists now" position

>>16938473
I was softly trolling. See thread yesterday, some autist complains about squeaky boots and how he bought those for $400 but they squeak so he can't wear them to work or to visit his friends. It was pointed out they were bike boots not fashion wear and he went level 10 autistic.

>>16938479
If you have ridden on dirt as many have before progressing to street, you will have sufficient bike handling skills to (relatively) safely control the machine. The external factor of some stupid slut being on her phone is more of an unknown factor.

For engine spinning backwards see below:
http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/opinion/motogp/why-motogp-going-backwards

For why dry clutch - reduces drag and weight but you probably know that

>>16938604
dry clutch is for weight and modularity (also hardly ever used since quickshifting)
as for the reverse spin, that's to attempt to reduce gyroscopic momentum
basically it makes it easier to lean

>After sunshine, rain and fresh air, my favourite natural phenomenon is gyroscopic effect. This is because we wouldn’t be able to ride motorcycles without it.
Dropped right there. Most of the stabilization from a bike is from the geometry which forces the wheel straight as you roll forward, not the gyroscopic effect.

Victory Octane.

And with Victory out of business they are pretty much giving them away brand new. Just don't expect amazing resale until they possibly have some sort of collector value (if ever).

If not comfortable with a manufacturer that was cancelled. Get a scout. Same bike, shittier suspension and a bit less power.

Yeah, I was almost red pilled on a gs500 until I checked specs and aftermarket mods showing they barely make more power/ performance then a ninja 250.

>>16938742
I wish they stopped making the Indians instead of victory. I was planning on buying a new one next year when they were on special. I don't know about USA but where I am victory only just started promoting and building hype, as soon as people started buying them they announced the closure

>>16938739
Not cheating. Anyone that rides hard drops pressure to appropriate canyon carving pressure.

Maybe not 25psi. that's pretty low. ~28-30psi for a street tire is typically appropriate for the twisties/track. air up to ~36/40 for regular riding.

>>16938748
plus they somehow managed to be even more boring

>>16938725

you already have your tire pressures WAY off, don't listen to this tard:

>>16938733
>20psi
lol... just no. even 25 is probably lower than any street tire will ever need to be

>>16938753
They had to do it, the only way to compete with Harley and the "muh heritage" cult is to bring back a company with as much history as Harley.

I guess the majority of their clients are old men who like overpriced shiny heritage bikes. Indians are far to overpriced and I personally think they look revolting. I just purchased a brand new gsxr, and was going to purchase a new Victory next year. Their loss, I won't buy a cruiser now. No chance in hell I'd support Harley.

It's their loss when all the old men their cashing in on die off in the next 10 years and Indian sales plummet. Victory really had a chance and building a following and they cut their losses way to soon

>>16938775
lower pressures mean more tire on the ground, which meass more grip... to a point.

Too low of pressure result in reduced stability at speed and slower turn in. Lower still and you start having the carcas buckle which is real bad. Don't expect that unless you're below like 20psi and cornering hard though.

Higher pressures and the tire doesn't conform to the surface and you get less rubber on the road and less grip. But at the same time faster turn in and less rolling resistance.

29/30 is a good starting point for tire pressure on a modern street bike with sport tires.

>>16938810
All manufacturers recommend higher pressure for regular street riding. better for highways cruising, gas mileage, stability, etc.

It's the same story on my R6. Like 38/42 recommended.

Are there any bikes that come with actually good headlights?

>>16938828
Ok then where the fuck is the block?

>>16938820
that is just the head.

head is literally taller than the cylinders.

>narrow angled valves

>>16938790
I think Indian has some potential, literally everything they make outperforms the equivalent Harley and the company is less than five years old. I don't like then either but there was no chance Victory could survive as anything but Harley clones, Indian could bring real bikes back to the states.

>>16938650
Brought a Chinese pitbike that was spluttering for $30. Got it home, took the carb off and lold. Usually there would be rubber sealing it. This had a sort of cardboard like seal that had mushed all through the carbs. If they try and save 1cent using cardboard instead of a proper gasket it says it all doesn't it

>>16938836
not pictured. Blocks are pretty simple and there's not a whole lot of fancy technology to show off there. Like 2/3 of the bike is missing in that picture btw.

Is it really worth so much just because "lol murican cruiser, much fat very loud"

>>16938799
To be honest when you ride a Suzuki you have that many people questioning your sexuality that the headlight isn't really an issue.

>>16938820
The face you can see is the bit where the pistons meet the valves. The cylinder head is upside down and the block isn't in the photo. Nor are any of the electrical components.

I love my thou, but sometimes think the 750cc would be the better option.
>"2017 GSXR best ever gixxer"

The R1 is £500 cheaper with all that shit as standard.

it's an attempt to make it look complete at a glance but not have to deal with actually spreading out a whole bike.

>>16938876
>TFW can't fit a quick shifter to my 750 without voiding my warranty

The 1000 was a bit behind the times, charging extra to catch up doesn't seem right.

>>16938875
The Indian Scout and the Victory Octane, probably their best bikes are/were less than $10,000 US each.

About the same cost as an FZ09 or a little more.

>>16938885
They literally just came out with a new hot shit 1000 Gixxer this year that is up for GOAT territory once the magazines get ahold of it.

>>16938913
They should run the looks past civilians before going ahead and producing them. The exhaust is ridiculous and is hard to look past. Couldn't they team up with Yoshi again and at least have a normal looking pipe on it for the photos?

Sometimes I wonder if Yoshi somehow infiltrated Suzuki's exhaust designers to ensure every bike sold needs a aftermarket parts purchased before driving off the dealership

>>16938952
At least you can swap the exhaust easily, the front end still looks disgusting.

>>16938903
That's really not much more than they are here, a big bagger is 20-25k US, an extra $5k to get it around the world doesn't seem that unbelievable to me, especially considering I doubt exports are high on their priority list. Like I said they're less than 5 years old and their main focus is fighting for US market share from Harley, which they're doing brilliantly (at the current rate Indian will be outselling Harley in 4 years).

Once they have a stable customer base of boomers throwing money at them for pigfat touring bikes I'd expect to see more interesting things happen.

>>16939010

You need a better powerband. Either shorter gearing or upgrade to a literbike.

600s are fantastic track weapons, but not really the kind of bike you want to daily.

>>16939010
Could change the sprockets for more hoon power

What is the consensus on sport bike exhausts? I am really not the type of guy to go out and get an obnoxious exhaust BUT I installed a decently loud exhaust on my Miata the other day and it completely changed the driving experience. It's probably just my autism but driving is so much more immersive and engaging now. The blips, the launches, etc...

You're just so much more connected to the car.

I imagine it's the same with bikes. My gixxer still has the stock can which sounds like an angry blender

>>16938515
Yeah I went from a 300 to a 1200 inline 4 which probably warps my perspective. I tried out all the meme 600 bikes (zxr, CBR, gsxr etc) and found all of them gutless. People make them out to be something their not. My 750 is the best of both worlds

Not only that but the older one's like mine have a bullshit butterfly valve before the muffler to affect emissions but also performance. Thankfully the akrapovic provided the necessary chemo

>>16938915
My post was ambiguous. Suzuki are releasing two bikes I will use UK pricing as an example:
GSXR1000 - £13599 on the road for nig-tier level
GSXR1000R - £16099 on the road with all the electronic shit see pic related I shamelessly stole from the site.
The R1 (£15599has the same electronics as the GSXR1000R but I dont think you get the Brembo Monoblocs and the suspension is apparently more advanced on the gixxer. But Yamaha build quality/reliability.

Whichever bike you buy, you need an additional £1000 to do away with that bullshit exhaust.

I'm with you there, I got a liter twin and I love it.

>>16939027
Eh, I like medium loud for bikes. I know exactly what you mean. One of my old bikes had a full Yoshi system and would make the most orgasmic backfirey noise when downshifting quickly. There's something about it...

Gsxr really make 99% of their noise from the intake if you have a stock can on it. Get a cheap slip on and it evens it out. Take the cat off if you want to be a douchebag who no one admires.

Where do you live? Ive got a spare gsxr slip on

Yeah, it's pretty much the same feel.

I like having a louder exhaust on my viffer because I ride in the city. People think they're invincible and/or are not paying attention. The noise the V4 makes is just pure sex.

I want to make a half size/GP style can for my bike, or at least buy one, but I don't think anyone does.

I just want that NASCAR V8 sound without being douchebag loud.

>>16939043
>One of my old bikes had a full Yoshi system and would make the most orgasmic backfirey noise when downshifting quickly
my current bike does this like crazy. Every time I get off the throttle it crackles for like 5 seconds straight. If I give it a bike shot of gas, then a smaller one it lightly backfires a couple times and then crackles. It's like music to my ears.

Does it more often with the baffles in (guessing due to it trapping more unburnt fuel in the cans).

Supposed to have little ripples in it, pic related

having it flake off like that is solely due to it being underinflated, causing it to overheat.

>>16939058
Your making me miss my old bike. Pls stop

>>16939104
>Under inflated
I told you it's at 40psi.

That's what happens when you actually ride your sports bike quickly through canyons. If I took a picture of my it after commuting it would look like your picture. It's soft compound on the side, if I corner under hard acceleration through Twisties for a few hours of course it will look like how I posted.

>>16939100

I'm a VFR but, I know it's bit unique in its design and sound. I've had a Yoshimura slip on, Hindle slip on (love that thing, nice and deep), and a two brothers.

All great sounds, but I love to try new things and experiment.

Good job you took the time to highlight the image. It would have been really difficult to see what you meant otherwise.

But is it a VTEC, apparently the older preVTEC is the better bike. Made a great entry bike to step up to an R1/Gixxer thou though,

>>16939191
Nigga, I just went full retard. But to echo what people saying, steer clear of the chinese shit. Likened to disposable lighters in the UK given that once the petrol tank has been emptied once its time to throw it away. Chink bikes are coming on a bit though, much like their cars they are just copying more successful brands.
>Hongda

>>16939278
Lol, not my image.

>>16939278

I just realized, I didn't specify the year of my bike, I have a third gen, 1993. Pre-VTEC. Sixth gen started VTEC, fifth gen is the best bike of them all

Fifth Gen
>no VTEC
>gear driven cams
>800cc
>fuel injected

3rd gen and 4th gen
>no VTEC
>gear driven cams
>750cc
>carbs

it's funny you mention those literbikes, I had a CBR900RR before the VFR, and as much as I loved to hoon around on that thing, it was hilariously uncomfortable and the 16 inch front wheel can often make less than optimal road conditions harrowing.

>>16939271
You probably don't understand since you ride a 250cc through the city bud. Since I'm not a sissy cuck I've been riding 4 hours non stop through canyons/Twisties before I took that photo today. It has nothing to do with inflation. It's the fact that after riding for hours under hard acceleration through constant turns it has heated up. Feel free to tell me any pressure you want and I'll repost tomorrow the results. It has a soft compound on the sides so of course after a lot of actual hard acceleration through corners non stop for hours it will blister

Have you looked at motorcycles in 1985 compared to 1975

Technology has improved a ton, it's just mostly been devoted to keeping governments happy without destroying performance. When cars got hit with emissions laws and crap they went to absolute shit for like 15 years and didn't really overcome it for around 25. It took 3 decades for any 2WD car to be able to do 0-100-0 faster than the Cobra.

>he actually thinks an R8 is faster than a literpeter

Oy, So I've got 10k saved up, and currently have a 09 ninja 650, my first bike,

Really itching to either up the power and get an R1, or move into some adv stuff(ktm, or bmw bikes) for touring about and whatnot. I'm just torn between the two paths. kinda wanna go fast while young and whatnot, what do ya think I should do?

>>16940079
Get the R1.

S1000RR my guy
you should be able to get a 2013 if you look hard enough

If my bike runs fine do I really need to check my valves?

>>16939964
im more impressed how none of those people using the road seem to understand how lanes work.

>>16940104
yes

>>16940104
I've heard from a few people that you don't, I'm not sure I'd leave something that important to random people though.

>>16940104
If it's Japanese you're probably fine.

t. noclue bairdinator

as a mechanic i will say that you should check your valves in the intervalles theyre recommended.

>>16940104
I mean you could be losing power if the stuff is improperly adjusted or has just gone to a bad state, might as well, adjust it so that further in the future you don't have to deal with it.
So basically. at your convenience is when you should do it I think.

>>16940119
As NASA's top aerospace engineer I will say his valves are fine unless it's a Ducutty.

>>16940120
it's been due for about 5k now, might do it in the winter or a rainy spell.

>>16940104
Yes, i would totally ignore something the engineers figured was beneficial to prolonging the life of your engine.

>>16940126
how do you check desmodramataoraonic valves anyways?

>>16940135
Same way as regular valves?

>>16940053
Turbo busa

>>16940126
It's not a ducuckty but it is italian. Apparently they're not out of spec until like 60km in a lot of cases.

>>16940053
Honestly, my first and current bike is a ninja 650. and it's great, It gives lots of room to grow into and it is just pretty fun to either cruise around or attempt to go fast on. So I'd definitely recommend it. I hear sv650's are just as great and you can totally find them way cheaper out there on the market. and gs500 a shit.

>>16940104
Yes
I thought the valves on my last bike were fine, it didnt feel funny or anything
>then the piston struck a valve at 90 mph
It wasnt fun.
Just get it done for a piece of mind.

Huh, I was really looking into it, but it seems like there's a drought of them in my area, can't see anything reasonable AND not crashed/in shitty state.
I really would prefer the s1000rr because it just looks so good and all the praise I've heard from friends. I'll keep an eye out until the newest R1 comes out.

wr250r or drz400sm
75:25 commuting:offroad

>>16940168
why not get the new gixxer instead?

>>16940174
Both suck for ommutijg go orueslf

>>16940179
not what the question was

>>16940181
There was a question?

>>16940183
which should i get for 75:25 commuting:offroad, a wr250r or a drz400sm

>>16940171
Should look for RSV4's too. Those 3 are supposed to be the best liters.

>>16940193
the RSV is really more of a track bike.

Repair costs will force him to eat ramen, especially in the states.

>>16940174
Ride both and pick which one you like more.
They're so similar the question is impossible, it depends very much on your specific tastes and circumstances.

>>16940207
not him, but a test ride ain't gonna let you do either commute or take it offroad. unless he's got buddies with em this seems like he'd be SOL

>>16940207
what are the differences between them?

>>16940207
How can a 250 be that similar to a 400?

>>16940211
2 stroke

>>16940213
a wr250 is not a 2 stroke..

>>16940216
I didn't read the thread, I just answered your question as I saw it

>>16940210
>>16940211
The WR has a 6th gear and fuel injection. Slightly better on the highway, never have to fuck with carbs and elevation changes don't matter. Less torque so harder to wheelie and have to be in the right gear at all times. DRZ probably has more aftermarket and can be found cheaper usually. Easier to ride because less picky about what gear you're in, especially off-road.

Both are super reliable, great urban commuters, tons of fun, and meh on the highway. Get the the best deal you can find between the two.

>>16940223
Also WR feels smaller and lighter but not by a huge margin, dunno actual weight.

I bought a bike guys.

Now I just need to learn how to ride.

>>16940261
go out bush. you can crash as much as you like

>>16940274

Thats the plan, just need my mates that ride to get some time off and get out there with them.

>>16940276
good plan. just wear long sleeves and listen to what you're told

>>16940202
nigga, maybe the RF or FW
the base model, while it may not have the fancy electronics is decent enough

>>16940284
Yeah just because it's one of the best track bikes doesn't make it a bad street bike. Parts are cheap and easy to get from AF1Racing, maintenance isn't even too bad.

>>16940284

Parts are a fucken mission for any aprilia (at least here in Aus). Doesn't cost more to get the basics done at a shop, but the delay because the local importer doesn't stock properly causes major headaches for the guys that run these as track bikes. You have a minor prang and maybe crack an engine cover or something and then you end up waiting 2-3 months (!) for the part to come in.

Terrific bikes, just a problem with the importers, they don't make much on them and can't afford the risk of holding stock so it's strictly order and ship from factory.

>>16940382
What bike do you have?

Why?
What is wrong with me being on the road?

>>16940408

GSXR1000. The aprilia stuff is just second-hand heard around the traps, largely bitching from guys that run them in the local club racing (BEARS).

>>16940498
>bears
what?
like gay men?

>>16940498
ah, well it gets to me in Canada in like 3-5 days. It'll be even quicker and the US and I'm sure Europe is more of the same.

>>16940531

british, european, american racing and supporters. More twinks than bears (if you ride a ducati, you're a bottom).

>>16940537

Might well be an Australian thing. We have some pretty shit importers here for motorcycle stuff, small market and all that.

>no more mechs

FINALLY

/dbt/ convince me not to buy a '97 Moto Guzzi Sport 1100.
