Yes
Coasts for ocean view
Mountains
Hill country
Heavy woods
Open highways and plains for speeding
Not California (filthy hippies)
Not Alaska (cold and wet)
Every other state loses

Why are there basically no bikes with a standard rider position and decent power that aren't dual sport/ADV bikes anymore?

>>17506904
why is the east coast so low an all the plain/desert states so high?

>>17506925
Faggots on /out/ try to give states "scores" on their "/out/ potential". Higher score = better state for /out/ activities, lower score = worse state. It's a pretty terrible map tbqhwy

>>17506912
So every 650 twin and 900 triple in a standard chassis is...what? Are you dense son? This is the best time ever for the exact bike you are fucking asking about.

>>17506921
It's a massive nearly untouched wilderness half the size of the continental US. It's literally /out/ heaven.

>>17506915
The plain states are literal 0s, those high numbers are mountain states. All the 1s on the east coast are very urban, small states. The more /out/ ish ones to the south are rated higher

>>17506921
Bears, not many "minorities", deep woods
That's it, everything else sucks.
Bugs that are the size of bluejays, cold and humid weather, people wandering the woods with cabin/gold fever. I had to shoot at one who pulled a gun on me and accused me of trying to jump his claim and steal his gold. The non city parts are basically a time machine that makes people insane.

>>17506912
There are, just not in the US.

Anything that isn't a cruiser or a sport bike might as well not be brought over because they just won't sell, Americans are that vapid.

Any standards we're lucky enough to get will be vehemently declared a """"""""naked sport"""""""" and given aggressive styling. (see: European cb500 vs. American cb500f)

I would literally suck a million dicks to have a cb1300 but I'll never even see one

>>17506904
what is this?

>>17506943

B-but bears are killing machines. I wouldn't think having them around is a good thing.

>people wandering the woods with cabin/gold fever. I had to shoot at one who pulled a gun on me and accused me of trying to jump his claim and steal his gold.

Well, anon, you can't just say shit like this and not tell us the story.

>>17506960

Bears are awesome.

That's pretty much it.
I got really lucky and got a grizzly tag, went on a hunt, the guide warned is that's there was people in the area mining and some get a little strange when they are in the woods for months at a time. It's even worse when they have been there for years. We were riding (horseback) to the hunting area along a river and some dude was out there panning. He saw us and our rifles, he freaked out and shouted about how we weren't gonna take his gold and pulled a pistol. I had my rifle already ready and shot a couple feet in front of and to the right of him. He was splashed with some rock and dirt and dropped his gun. The guide explained that we weren't there for him and he apologized and said we were the first people he had seen in almost a year.

Because the east coast might have a few decent /out/ areas, but much of it is private property. Once you get out west there we have actual places you can go and enjoy.

Ive got a question about rebuilding my motor. So I installed some new piston rings in order to fix the compression, and now have the head bolted down (without the cams in). When I turn the crankshaft over by hand, there is some resistance (I assume from the air compressing) that isnt felt when the head is mounted.

Esentially, after this resistance, there is a hissing of air escaping the cylinders. Is this normal or do i need to rebuild it again??

>>17507558

Being hot as fuck and going outside to try to do stuff in that head is fucking terrible. It's much easier to regulate body temperature in moderate to cold environments while doing hiking or strenuous activity than it is when its 110* fucking degrees outside.

Also, the hotter it is the more water you need to consume and thus the more water you must carry.

That said, that map has California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah all highly ranked. Literally the hottest states in the U.S.

You're a fucking idiot.

I have a powerful bike and I have a 250. Guess which one is more fun day to day?

>>17507645
Why would you clutter your periphery on a motorcycle with unnecessary electronic bullshit, thereby burdening yourself with something that takes away from the inherent freedom and openness that riding a motorcycle provides. Additionally providing a potential distraction from your riding.

If you want to stare at your phone, go sit on the couch like a faggot.

I used to commute exclusivly on a powerful sportbike because that's all i knew.

Then I bought a light fun lower powered commuter bike and it opened an entire world of exploration and fun that I hadn't known and could not know being locked down with a narrowly focused and impractical "powerful bike".

Now the sportbike only sees ride time when I specifically want to take it to the twisties or go haul ass on the highway. Literally everywhere else the smaller bike is more fun despite having 1/4 the power.

>>17507709
The smaller bike is also significant fun on the twisties as well. Probably just as fun as my sportbike.

You also probably can't lane spit in your state or if you can you can't do it nearly as well as you would on a light, small, short wheelbase bike with lots of steering lock.

I always find being able to wring a bikes neck around town much more fun and enjoyable than toddling along on a powerful bike at low rpm unable to use more than a fraction of the bikes power.

I've been on craigslist daily since I sold my bike in April.. I won't have one for another month or 2 when I move to lex. Shit sucks.

Laid off from work right now, and I kind of want to see the country. Would it be realistic for someone without a ton of riding experience to do this? How much would it cost to get all the gear I'd need, and what would be a good bike to use? Something like a KLR650?

Be careful in corners about twitching your wrist. At low rpms these make fuck all for useable torque, but when you hit the throttle at 11k rpm it has a big effect

I live in the DFW area. Wanted something fun to ride that can also commute. Figured streetfighter was the best option. Rode my buddy's fz-09 and it just didn't feel right. Kawi came out with the Z900 this year and I set on one at the dealershit and fell in love with it.

>>17507896

Just did this trip starting last week. Leaving the bay for Nevada tomorrow. How much time and what route are you doing? 101 to 1 was nice. Through Oregon it was boring but scenic. Through california? Endless twisties. Over two days I probably road easily 100 miles and a few hours of 10-50mph twisties.

>>17507914
I'm already a nervous wreck with the throttle. I try not to do it so much, if anything I haven't used it at all, staying in first gear while practising clutch take -offs and braking properly.

>>17507918
Nice, enjoy it. It definitely looks nice, just haven't heard much about it.

>>17507931

I just don't dig the FZ. The handlebars feel awkward to me. I'm a bigger guy though and I've always owned super sports in the past.

I refuse to buy a Triumph because Yammie Noob ruined it for me.

>>17507853
Why not just get a normal 600 like a cbr or ninja? I wouldn't even bother with a FZ lower than the 8

>>17507957
How many schmeckles it run you for?

>>17507945
Keep the revs low (as in the 3-6k range) and a 600 shouldn't suddenly accelerate like a bat out of hell. Some bikes are a bit twitchy when you transfer from closed throttle to slightly open, so be really gentle mainly in that area.

>>17507964

just over 11k with TTL and a new Shoei/Sena 20. Also, Kawi has a promotion right now and I'm getting a free riding jacket in the mail soon.

>>17507959
The FZ6 is a normal 600, just comfier (and uglier), the fz6r is trash. And the fz8 is the worst fz wtf are you on about

>>17507937
I did that on my cx500 two years ago a week into ownership. Absolutely epic experience.

>>17507957
Fair enough. I'm not a big dude so the fz6 ergos are on point.

>>17507945
It couldn't hurt to get an sv650 got when you actually start going on it. The fz has a fucked torque curve, and a fairly snatchy throttle

>>17507980
Fz6r < fz8. At least the fz8 has a fast ish motor and decent suspension.

>>17507978

The z900 has the same engine as the z1000, but it's sleeved down to 948cc and tuned for low end. It's also lighter than the z800 due to the new trellis frame.

If you haven't whiskey throttled the bike by now, I doubt you'll do it later. Being nervous gets you in the end, saw it happen a lot in msf with new people who never ridden a bike. Just be in control.

I did it over 4 days. Only in the saddle roughly 5 to 6 hours a day. Rest of time was eating, drinking and hiking/exploring. Mendocino was a bad spot, I found a shitty RV camp site. 20 bucks for the night. Come to find out they had nice secluded camping in the back so it wasn't all that bad.

You know, I would like it if the exhaust went under the seat, it had higher rearsets stock, and a sportier chassis setup. And by chassis setup I mean the whole damn chassis. That steel tube shit is flimsy and floppy.

Just sit on both. Fz09 feels more like a giant supermoto, wheres the z900 you sit in it a bit more like a supersport. Ive done 15 hour days on my fz with no issues, and the Fz09 is a bit cheaper I think. Also you get TC/ABS with a '17 fz09 and its lighter.

They are both still good bikes.

>>17508267
Yeah I think maneuvering it around to park would suck in a lot of places since it's so hilly around me. Even the shed at my house is in a really awkward spot.
As much as I love my dual sport, there's piss all for offroading and nowhere safe to ride supersports fast so I'm thinking some kind of sport tourer, Africa Twin, or FZ07. Not really sure, I'll have to do test rides but I just want something comfy on the highway so I can ride better parts of my state rather than wasting weekends putting around my town.
Single cyls don't like sustained high rpm's, I don't want to have checking my oil every gas stop on my mind.

The FZ09.

The Z900 is pigfat.

You can easily fix any suspension woes you have with the FZ09. You cannot easily fix the 70 pounds that the Z900 is overweight.

guys i got my endorsement yay, probably still need more practice. from WA area

I really need to buy a bike but im pretty poor.(~$2000 budget) where should i buy? (nervous buying from craigslist, I feel like everything on there is thrashed and ready to fall apart) what cheaper bikes should I look for?

Or just buy a bike that doesn't need fixing off the showroom floor, Idk why anybody would buy something gimped from the factory when there are 20 other options.

>>17508523
I have a running 1977 Yamaha XS750.
Has the infamous 2nd gear slip but you can fix it yourself even if you're mechanically retarded in a few hours.
Needs new tires, and turn signal bulbs.
I got it to teach my girlfriend how to ride and was going to cafe racer it, but I have too many other bike projects.
I'll sell it to you for $1,300

>>17508532
Because there aren't 20 other options in that category and price bracket.

Anything else you get is going to be north of $10,000 and probably have a shittier motor and eurobong reliability issues (see striple).

The pre-2017 FZ09's suspension could be easily sorted pretty well with a $60 ZX-6R shock off ebay.

The new ones come already sorted out.

>>17508535
If it could be fixed in a couple hours you would have fixed it by now

>>17508540
Can't forget the suspension issues with motorcycles short of wobbling harleys are kind of hard to notice at all unless you're used to dragging knee on a good sportbike, or only apply to people signfiicantly heavier than the average jap

>>17508523
Same person as >>17508535
How mechanically inclined are you. I know of a 1994 CBR600 F2 that a guy is selling but it needs some work, runs and drives though.
I was going to buy it off him but decided like I stated in the other post that I have too many projects.
He'll take $800 for it. If your budget is $2000 you could easily get it in great shape for a few hundred more at most.

>>17508541
>If it could be fixed in a couple hours you would have fixed it by now
Well when it's summer in Washington, and pretty much the only nice time to ride all year, I'd much rather take any one of my other four bikes out than spend a day doing transmission work on a bike I only bought because my girlfriend wanted to learn.

>>17508550
How many hours a day do you spend on 4chan instead of riding?

Take that and reallocate it to fixing your bikes that just lay around. Then you can have more bikes to ride, or sell them for more money so you can buy more bike stuff.

Fuck off, no they're not.

Cruisers are hell for tall people my dude
They're manlet: the bike
Bet a dirtbike or a tall naked

I need advices for seat position.
I know that I must tighten my legs.
But I'm not sure how :
Should my crotch be close to the fuel tank and tighten my inner thighs?
Or should I step back a little and tighten the fuel tank with the my knees?

>>17508578
Not riding a cruiser?

The best way to practice is to find a qt boy to fuck you good. Once your hips move on their own you are ready to ride a sportbike.

>>17508578
For fast you want ass back, resting on the seat hump
Keep your knees closed and gripping the tank, try to have the lightest touch as possible on the bars

To lean you slide your butt, open the inner leg and grip the bike with the outer leg

>>17508578
You don't want to be crushing your nuts but closer is better.

>>17508577

If you like the style get a dorsoduro or hypermotard

Geometry. You've obviously never ridden one long enough to settle in correctly.
>>17508578
On the same note, ride aggressively for 40 minutes, then look down. The most natural place to grip the tank will just emerge by itself.
Most modern bikes have cutouts to guide, older ones used rubber pads.
No idea why bare paint and smooth tanks became so popular in-between..
The backstop works for some, but good knee-grip is more important.

I have a very important question (it's not that important)
I've been trying to wheelie for a while, and I have a pretty capable bike to do it on (85 Virgin-Max) but it seems like no matter what I do it either almost 12 o'clocks me or immediately goes down. How can I keep the wheelie riding? Is it even possible on this bike? Thank you for your super valuable advice friends

>>17508716

Open the throttle and yank the bars
You have a drag sled, it ain't that hard

>>17508671

>>17508578
You wanna move on the seat so about a palm-space between your balls and the tank is preferable.

You dont need to grip all that tight if you learn to "lean" into the force of acceleration, shoulders should always be relaxed, the nost tense part is your core.

What's the sticker that anons put on their bikes and started dying?
I can never remember what it looked like.

>>17508740
Usually second. First is way too touchy on my bike, I end up with the front tire all over the place and 3rd lacks the torque.

>>17508746
yeah I get the wheel up without even needing the clutch in first, shits too much for a noob like me

probably will end up trying second around what? 15-20mph?

>>17508740
Most bikes with enough torque can power willie in second if you shift it right (wrong). WOT in first, chop throttle, shift into second, WOT.

Except mine. It pops out of second when you do that. My fault.

>trying to clutchless shift, day one after getting bike
>GRRRRRRRRRK

I wonder if that can be fixed without pulling the engine and splitting it? Probably not.

>>17508756
Usually about 30% into your rev range is ideal.

Are you dumping the clutch or just letting it out quickly?>>17508759

How do I get the nutsack to willy my sportbike? Every time I feel like trying I just remember how much I love my bike and don't want to fuck it up :^(

>Feelsbadman.jpg

>>17508769
With wanton disregard for safety and wallet

>>17508767
Dump clutch at zero throttle and go WOT shortly after, I guess it's timed so you're opening the throttle JUST as the clutch is almost fully engaged.

It's kind of halfway between a clutchup and a power wheelie. And if my bike were not 520lbs and long as fuck, it would probably loop instead of bouncing 6" off the ground.

Fuck I need a dual sport for this shit

>>17508772
Just do proper clutchups, they're way easier and predictable

Have you considered that if you get this emotional over such a small issue, maybe you aren't mature enough for a big boy bike yet?

How are you enjoying your first week on 4chan so far?

>>17508978
If there's anything to get sick of, it's having mind blowing power at your disposal and an engine that begs to be revved for more, but also knowing all to well that your tires, and your riding skills, aren't up to the task if you misjudge that next corner while gunning it, or have to swerve into the inside because some dumbfuck is stopped in his lane in a blind corner and you're leaned damn near all the way over due to the speed you were carrying.

That last one happened to me. If I hadn't broken away from traffic before the corner I would have had nowhere to swerve and definitely couldn't have braked in time. No idea how I survived, but my chicken strips got a little smaller that day.

The only harley I would ever consider owning. Nice looking bikes.

>>17508998
There's also an 2014 899 for the same price in the same area if you want to be stylish, and several GSXR750s if you want to go fast on west WA's many stretches of straight road.

I got my full license a few days ago

Are there any good boots out there that actually have the comfort and durability to work in?

I just want something I can drive to work on and not have to change because its uncomfortable.

I honestly wish America had a system like that. I wouldn't pin the restrictions to 125cc, but probably a combination of displacement, weight and horsepower. Set to like an average 500cc sport bike's power and weight. Heavier cruisers and dual sports might for example be set at say...650.

what keeps you from riding /dbt/ ?

>not enough time, occupied with studying

I'm scared of chain drive, I'm scared of the chain rusting and snapping, I'm scared of the sprockets wearing out and causing a catastrophic failure.

Are my fears unfounded? Do I just spray it with chain lube and that's it?

>>17509087
I'd set it based on class OR displacement.

So you can buy a 600+, but it must not be a supersport, maybe a DS/standard/sport-standard. If you want a bike classed as a supersport, you buy a 250/500. This would also create a market for japanese 400cc sportbikes, possibly a massive market if the full license was hard enough to get/not worth it, meaning we could get some premium fuel-sipping four cyllinder corner munchers instead of budget twins with linkage-free rear suspensions.

>>17509087
Harley Davidson would shut that shit down real quick. Without middle aged men going in there to fulfill their midlife crisis who would they sell bikes too?

>>17509099
pretty much none of their bikes break 80hp

since it's MURICA, set your learner limit at 80hp. harley is happy.

No, you shouldnt use work boots to ride or motorcycle boots to work.

>>17509099
Harley Davidson needs to make a new beginner bike. Their old xr250 (I think it was an xr...) was one of their best selling bikes of all time.
You are right though. Harley would drape themselves in the flag and SUPPORT OUR TROOPS and get what it wants.
>>17509098
You don't know how many rights I would strike out just to get cheap, new 400cc i4 sportbikes. Like holy shit I would kill every motherfucking gadsden flag waving twat like a giant, terrifying mongoose just to get one.

>>17509118
Joke's on you I have no gf because I push everyone away and engage in self destructive behavior. I bought a motorcycle so I can suicide on demand and have that single flickering flame of life and passion.

Haha I don't need a big bike to headbutt a truck and end up on /tfg/ like the deer image.

Joke's on you. I'll tread where I please to get a 400cc i4.

>>17509095
My bike being in several dozen pieces.

It would have been done two days ago if I had the sense to take inventory of my sockets and allen keys before starting

>Joke's on you. I'll tread where I please to get a 400cc i4.

If you really hate people, be like me and get a 250 2stroke and burn leaded gas. You can still kill yourself, but you also brain damage everyone around you.

I like it. But if I wreck it, I'd be upset about wrecking a classic race replica.

Also bike is at the dealer, got new chain and tires. Was supposed to pick her up today but it would have meant riding the bus for 2 hours lugging around my gear and then riding back in the shittiest weather possible.

It only brain damages kids

So, personally, if I ever know of someone burning leaded gas on public roads on a regular basis, I find their vehicle and disable at as thoroughly as possible. A kid doesn't deserve a life of stupidity and mental health because of some beta faggot. This is pretty easy with motorcycles, since the oil filler cap and drain plug RIGHT THERE. Just get yourself some sodium sillicate and water. Takes less than a minute. Harder on fully faired bikes, but what fully faired bike runs lead? Not many.

I haven't had a reason to do this yet, but I keep about 5qts of the solution and one of those small walmart drain pan/storage bottle combos handy.

And, even then, I'm sure there are better methods. Maybe just putting it in the oil is enough, or if you have a long enough drill bit and a good angle, you can put holes in the airbox below where the filter likely is and wait.

Is a sprint st 1050 too much for somebody moving up from a 125?

>>17509097
Lube every X km. Clean after rain, after cleaning baiku or after riding on salty roads, or every X km. It takes less than 10 minutes and while you're doing that, you can inspect it for wear and slack. Adjusting slack is simple.

If it rains that often, there's not likely a lot of dirt on the roads so you can get away with lubing regularly, say every 200 - 300 miles.

Plus writing on the report for a project where I was supposed to develop a system of loudspeakers that are interconnected via Wifi with one of them acting as a hotspot, that play back different audio tracks in a synchronized manner while moving randomly around the room. Ended up pretty much planning the project and the software architecture, but didn't have time for the actual implementation.

Achso, und wie ist der Stoffregen so? Ich fand das Buch ganz gut, als reiner Hobbyist.

>>17509172
I like it, not über specific at times, but overall a good read and covers pretty much everything.

But to be fair I only used some small parts of the book as my thesis was about diesel engines and I only needed some parts about the valve train out of it, as a comparison between a high revving gasoline and a diesel engine valve train.

Why not go ride anyways?

Fucking hell lads, I've been riding for a year or so and just had my first accident.

Nearly missed my turn so breaked too hard and locked the front wheel and dropped the bike on my leg.

It's kind of a piece of shit anyone because it's my first bike (CB400) but the engine doesn't start as easily anymore.

Should I be worried?

What was your first accident?

04 CB919 (cheap), 00 ZR-7 (cheap), or 09 FZ6 (not cheap)?

I do a lot of night riding so those dinky bucket lights worry me. It's just another aftermarket expense on top of luggage, but you can't argue with a one grand price difference. On the other hand

Tried to pass someone stopped on a two lane road, they remembered they were doing a U turn and right as I was coming around them. The cans on my bike just swiped him but I kept the bike up. The guy continued with his turn like nothing happened and left so I left too
