I didn't know this was a bike for a driving school. I don't need too much power since I don't want to race, but travel, also a little bit off road, in the alpes for example. I like 1cylinder machines and it has kind of a rock'n'roll character.

Do you like driving in the Ardennes or Eifel or where do you go? Sounds like a biking paradise but a friend of mine from Köln told me, on the weekends it's full of Dutch.

>>734002095
They're nice but I don't like to ride them because they're not that comfortable.

>>734002410

Yes, Ardennes, Eifel, even Switzerland if you've got a few days time. And yes, Luxembourg is pretty full of dutch all over the whole summer...

Funny, I ride a 250cc by choice. I know if I was on a 1400cc monster, I would full throttle that bitch on the freeway until the bearings blew up and the wheels fell off. I have to have limits. So I full throttle a 250 and laugh at myself because I know I have restraint in the shop but not on the street.

That seems like a shit riding position and would only be good for a short stint maybe at 40mph tops to a Starbucks to flip your scarf back over your shoulder, pull your too tight goggles from your sweaty eyes, brush your thin trimmed mustache and check the cuffs on your fine Italian leather jacket before ordering some obscure novelty coffee and pulling your MacBook air out to type your next brilliant thought on tumbler.

I've got lots of experience with these bikes...they're fucking tanks. Simple big single cylinder thumpers. Torque monsters. Decent off road, a bit heavy and softly sprung but still decent. Awesome on road, will comfortably do 150 km/h on the highway.

This is from riding in Costa Rica last winter.

>>734001674
How bout I drive my dick up your ass nigger

Don't have a bike yet, but I was looking at DRZ400s for $2-3k in my area for a cheap, reliable dual sport. The WR250Rs are nice, but used they run $5-6k and need another $1-2k to hit the power the DRZ400 has.

I figure the WR makes a better supermoto/bike if you want to spend the money.

>>734004529
Awesome, thanks for the reply. I think torque is important when you want to go off road and that's what I expect from a single cylinder. Since the machines are a bit older, I recon they're quite simple to maintain? What are the weakes parts you know of?
Heavy is not a problem, softly sprung.. well, I'll see, since I know only very little about bikes.
From where did you start?

>>734004445
Ok, I can see that. Have fun then and drive safe pal.

>>734005301
Same

>>734005155
The older machines are simpler to maintain and fix, but the matinance intervals are shorter due to older engineering methods and parts can be a hassle to produce (more money).

If you want a good around bike, look into dual sports like the DRZ400 or WR250r. The Suzuki SV650s are also great.

>>734005155
There are no weak parts to these bikes...they haven't changed the design in 20 years. They're ultra simple to maintain - change the oil twice a season and clean your air filter frequently and you'll be ahead of most owners.

Compare this to a KTM 450 and you're supposed to change the oil after every ride..it's fucked. But the KTM will walk all over a DR650 off road. It's all what you want out of a bike.

We rented those in San Jose, the capital city of CR. I've done this trip 3 times now, just get bikes and go wherever the hell you feel like it and drink a bunch of beers along the way. End up in some small town and grab a 30 dollar room for the night and eat some rice and beans. It's fucking paradise.

>>734006144
I was thinking the exact same thing...

>>734005530
Hmm, good tips, but the DRZ400 seems to be smaller (I'm 1,87m), doesn't look as stable like the DR650, the WR250r might not be strong enough for mountain trips and long distances (but I'm really a beginner, that's just what I think from the specs) and the SV650s is more of a street bike, isn't it?
Sorry, I think I'm a little bit in love with the DR650, haha.
But which parts would you need to get produced? Aren't there enough spare parts on the market?

>>734001645

Thanks

>>734006271
>But which parts would you need to get produced? Aren't there enough spare parts on the market?

I respectfully disagree with his opinion. Parts are ultra easy to find and maintenance is low. DRZ is also a good bike as well but you'll outgrow the power quite quickly.

Buy the newest one you can and tighten down the neutral safety switch if it still applies to the year you buy.
Some years 2001 - 2003?? Have weak 3rd gears.

Buy good tires, invest in the suspension and if you have money install a quad racer carb on it.

More like a collaboration.

Modenas is a state owned business in Malaysia.

>>734008908
No, there is no industry, all Chinese assembled here, honda brands, yamaha have manufactures but it is only assembly

Don't know a whole lot about bikes, please post more. Good thread is good.

>>734008848
Thanks for the link bro. Bookmark'd it. Also for your time and sharing your knowledge with me. I'm not such a good mechanical yet, maybe it's about time to learn a lot.
I could think of what a quad racer is, but what's a quad racer carb?

>>734009855
Awesome!
More details? specs?

We have Daily Bike Thread there, alot of bantz usually serious.

>>734010451
i'll check between price/quality anyway
higher price = more protection ?

>>734010319
So do I. I was expecting some gay porn "rides" when I started the Thread.

Happy it went into the right direction just as I wanted it to be.

>>734009972
The carburetor. Where the air and fuel is mixed for combustion

>>734010645

Not necessarily! But you shouldn't expect much from those 10€ stuff.

>>734010613
Cool, tanks

>>734010645
At some point it's fit and feel too.

>>734010897

This is the fucking shittiest driving law I've heard of ever. That's sad, really. Does this restriction cause any significant changes in death/accident rates?

>>734007803

Regretfully sold my 2013 Mt-03 last year.

>>734011277

Probably no.

very. about 500lbs.

>>734010688
That's the way it usually goes. But I guess bikers are more adventurous and know what to do with their lifes. They have a hobby, are mostly a little bit older than the usual insecure wannabe politically incorrect b/tard... Thanks pal!

>>734010757
Ah yeah, the carburetor. Gotcha. Why are those better than the standard carbs? For what purpose?

>>734010897
For me it's mostly fit and feel, because all stuff you can buy here in Germany is labeled with certifications that it is safe. Just don't be stingy if it comes to your own safety.

>>734000752
I'm an H2. That thing is a Subaru

>>734011368

have you ever been on a highway with a 125? i had to do it for half a year to get to work. i tell you its no fun.

>>734011655
hush little one, you'll awake the trolls

>>734011694

No. OP here, mine is a 750 as you can see on top of this thread.

>>734011766
You're right, sorry.

>>734011122
Where are you located? US or Europe?

If you're in the US, the have the MSF led courses you can take to learn and usually its recommended for you start out on something less than 500cc's, but I learned a vtwin SV 650 as the power is predictable, Don't get a 600+cc Supersport or think you're macho and have to have a 1liter, youll end up killing yourself.

>>734011496
well after seeing the real thing on the store i saw the difference in the gloves clearly
i won't go for the cheapest but i won't go that high ground either

05 r6 and 07 r6, both have pc3/pc5, dyno'd, intergrated turn signals, full exhaust from the manifold, steering dampers, professionally done suspension for a 180lb rider just to name a few things. also have a celica but its just a daily driver completely stock

Used to ride a CBR500R, then a ZX12R, then a CBR300R, then a ZZR250, now I'm pondering what to buy next. Insurance seems to be the most important factor as it varies (collision, theft, liability) from $25-$700 per month (CBR300R vs Ducati 959 in Arizona, married, 34 y/o)

>>734012247
700 bucks per month?!

>>734012223
Nice!

>>734010025
650cc ohv
Made in 1968 but on its second engine
Shaft drive both to the rear wheel and to the side car wheel, 5 speed box plus reverse. Top speed of about 70mph though

>>734012247
Go with the bmw s1000rr hp4. Best bike out right now. Ducati is italian garbage imo

Puch Maxi 1974 its a 50cc goes nearly 35mph

>>734012431
Yeah I'm sure insurance will be reasonable.

I'd get one in Australia where it might be $1000 for a year, but in USA it's a whole other beast.

Ongoing insurance cost is more important than purchase cost. Seriously that bad.

This is the kind of bike I think my gf would buy. I hope we find something we can both enjoy, if I ever get my desired DR 650...

>>734013107
Idk how its that much, but then again are you goin with full coverage or just liability cause my rate is 50$ a month and im 24

>>734013218
Its a liter bike. If you want a sport touring look at the s1200r

I ride a 2012 Yamaha V Star 950 Tourer. I came from a GSX650F a few years back. I'm considering a numver of othet genres for a next bike: sport-standard (Ninja 1000 LT), adventure (Versys 1000 LT for all on road, Africa Twin otherwise), a sport-tourer (FJR1300), or another cruiser but one that doesn't run out of ground clearance too early (Guzzi California Touring or Honda CTX1300).

The sport standard would have to be modified for some longer distance riding like peg drop, taller screen, and bags. An adventure bike would have to be lowered. A sport-touring might work but the big ones feel lacking in the sport (save the K1600) and there is no decent mid-size one. Another cruiser could work, but I fear it may be too boring.

Yamaha Thunderace 1000.
I also have a Suzuki Bandit 1200 which I've Turboed. The bandit is t working at the moment though as I threw a rod at 100mph when I ran too much boost . Tried 14 psi and the engine couldn't take it . Sill mistake in hindsight...

>>734013565
Have you ever considered just getting one nice bike instead of modifying shitty ones, learning how to not ride like an ass clown, and to not type sentences like you're a fucking idiot? That might work for you, too.

Nice rides, bros. Here are mine. 2015 R6 and 2017 FZ09.

>>734013733
I'm sorry but this made me laugh

I've never ridden a motorcycle and plan on buying one this Fall. Whats a good starter crotch rocket? Preferably $5k new or less and larger than 250cc.

>>734013780
How do you like that triple? Get a power commander to remove the crappy throttle feel?

>>734013919
I would start on a 250-300 at a stretch 400 just so you can learn

>>734013919
Depends on what you plan to do with it?
Getting to and off from work? Speeding on the highway? Travel?
Also, take driving lessons.

>>734013919
Avoid the super-sports, man. Plenty of sport-standards and naked that'll wet yiur whistle. The go-to is an SV650 / Gladius; a 650cc 90° v-twin from Suzuki. A Ninja 650 world also fill that roll and be in that price point. To th layman, it's still a sport bike; to motorcycle enthusiasts, you'll be seen as a new but wise rider instead of an asshat atop some R6 with no fucking clue on how to capitalize on its full potential.

>>734013943
Im loving it. I test rode the '16 models and the throttle response is much better now but still takes some getting used to. I am definitely gonna throw a PC and some new pipes on soon.

>>734014046
My Dad has been riding his whole life, he'll teach me. I'll be using it as a daily driver for most everything. I'm 6' and 200lbs if that helps.
>>734014033
chekt. Was considering a Honda CBR500R. Seemed like a great middle ground, but a 300 would be okay.

>>734014046
>driving lessons
You mean MSF class?

>>734014231
Daily driving?
Would recommand Suzuki V-Strom or Honda NCX

>>734014178
I've got no desire to go super fast or anything, just like the aesthetics of Ninjas and such. I'll look at that one now though.

>>734012707
yea, coming from 125cc its a blast to ride, good enough acceleration and torque for my skill level. This was the maximum i could get at this moment (A2 licence), and super happy with it.
