hey, /dat/ is having an argument, do scooters handle better than full motorbikes in urban environments? somebody is claiming that motorbikes handle better, but isn't being specific except that turning circle has nothing to do with handling...

>>13971936
I dig these headlights. Is it a vfr400? I heard it has this queer engine setup and nasty-sounding engine.

>>13972010
They handle about the same, its about the size of the scooter or bike that really makes the difference

Although it shares headlights with the VFR400, Thats a MC22 CBR250RR. Inline 4 250cc with a redline of 19,000rpm and rev limit of around 20,000rpm. Fun as fuck to ride because you sound like a F1 car going sanic but you're only going 60km/h

>>13972010
You can't compare the two categories, especially now that the lines are blurring.
You can only compare on a model 's model basis.
Turning circle is relevant because it tells you how sharp it can turn when doing maneuvers such as a U turn.
Some bikes/scooters can do one in the width of a street while others may need to do a 3 point turn.

>>13972010
I never road a scoot but supermoto/enduro is GOAT for local riding.

>>13972010
The scooter guy actually implied turning circles was what made handling. The other guy was saying turning circle isn't the only contributing factor. He then gave a relatively detailed explanation which the scooter guy ignored.

>>13972029
The post about filtering was mine. I was saying that while it can filter, it's going to be more dangerous due to the lack of power if the traffic starts moving and when you've gotta take off.

Long story short, scooter guy is misquoting the people that disagree with him.

>>13972005
is this specifically for bikes? how does it compare to a HANS device?
>pic related

>>13972025
>i may have been baited. or this guy is a nut
uh filtering is a safety maneuver small profile bikes like dirt bikes and scooters get rear ended by cars sitting in traffic all the time way safer not to be there at all

>>13972097
Let me put it this way

if you take a supermoto/enduro. give it road tyres, and lower it. you'll have something that can turn almost as sharply as a scooter.

of course dirt bikes can also hop around on things, take far rougher terrain, ect. so can be a lot better for urban exploration especially in really shitty cities. scooters are good for one thing and one thing only. Urban usage at subhighway speeds. Taking one on the highway is like taking a cruiser into the city. Doable, but not the best idea. they can get to 100kph but without the headroom you need to do it safely without at least 200cc of scooter power at the bare minimum.

I got the engine running on my old CBR250RR again about a month ago now. A car cleaned it up in August and smashed the shit out of it.

Engine turns over on it's own now, but it hasn't gone for a ride yet (no brakes and bent forks/handlebars). Once I finish the rebuild I'm going to give it to my little brother. He'll be old enough to get his learners permit next year.

Take something like a CT110 and you could almost do it without moving.

>>13972103
>while it can filter, it's going to be more dangerous due to the lack of power if the traffic starts moving and when you've gotta take off.

Na m8, traffic will not all of the sudden rip a hole shot and drag race to the next light.
Even a low powered bike/ scoot will be fine.

>>13972127
>Na m8, traffic will not all of the sudden rip a hole shot and drag race to the next light.
This happens all the time. When I filter to the front I almost always block the car. It's very common in this city for drivers to decide they're going to get in front of you at the lights and try to launch it.

This has happened in every place I've ridden at least once.

The HANS device protects the base of the skull from fracture. When your body is rapidly decelerating it gets held back by the belts while your head and neck get super extended and can kill you instantly when the base of the skull breaks because your brain stem is right there.
The HANS has straps that hold onto your helmet to hold it your head back from whipping forward.

The other brace protects from a different kind of injury.
iirc it protects the neck from breaking when you fall off your bike on your head. So iirc stops your neck from being crushed accordion style.

>>13972143
Roger m80. I was the guy saying filtering is unsafe on (small) scooters. Like I said, I'm not attacking you, mainly saying to be safe.

Riding is dangerous enough, and scooters do lack some of the key things that help motorcyclists stay alive.

Silly nips trying to ride a sumo like it's a sportbike. Would be interesting to see some of the European sumo riders have a go at gymkhana.

Since googling it mostly leads to erotica I'm asking here: what's prolonged travel like on a naked bike?

I'm nobike (in during get out) but next season I'm looking to buy some wheels and while 99% of riding would be in the city, I want to travel a little in the summer. I understand fairings exist for a reason. Would I be better off buying something with fairings?

>>13972148
Damn, my post was sloppy. Time for sleep.

>>13972153
It's pretty incredible though isn't it. I could do most of that on a CT, but some people are doing it on fucking Harleys and other huge bikes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjA4MWqKbmU

>>13972154
How far you talking? I don't have a lot of time in nakeds, but I imagine if you threw a decent windshield on it and had gearing that wasn't too low it'd be fine.

>>13972157
travel fag here, about 3 weeks in the Balkans, not sure about distance due to mountain passes but so far gas money budget is operating at a max of 4500km.

>>13972154
Better than sport bikes because of the more upright seating position but you'll still find your butt and back get sore on extended periods.

Also you might take a beating from the wind if you don't have a big enough windshield, so sport bikes have an advantage there. Easy to get one though so if you plan on doing it a lot it'll be worth it.

>>13972150
>scooters do lack some of the key things that help motorcyclists stay alive.

Like what tho?


>>13972154
Not having a windshield and a set of fairings mean that you are going to get wind buffeted on the highway which will tire you out faster.
So if you plan on taking a long trip at highway speeds maybe you can put on a removable windshield or be prepared to stop and rest.

>>13972167
That's a decent run, not really sure what to tell you, I've done long hours but usually not real far. I imagine a naked with a windshield wouldn't be too bad though.

>>13972170
>Like what tho?
Acceleration, braking and stability are the big three. Everyone has given it a bit of gas to escape a close or uncomfortable situation.

>>13972150
never ridden a bike, only ridden the 150 kymco and a 50cc honda today in the tests. the big wheels make a huge difference to stability, i would be very wary on those tiny toy wheels on most scooters. I've only had my bike for about a week, my top box hasn't even arrived off ebay.

>>13972170
yeah, what makes a full bike so safe? is it the added power, manual shifting control? heaver weight? I'll be using bikes for mostly low speed riding

Kek

This my WIP.

>>13972175
So would a 265cc scooter with disk breaks front and back be safe?

my 62 year old dad hopped on my kymco and rode it around without any problem, and i've found scooter really easy to ride, are bikes even easier?

>>13972181
Nice scoots m8

>>13972178
>the big wheels make a huge difference to stability
I'm sure they do, but it's a mix of things. Unless you're riding something particularly light motorcycles generally feel planted. It's hard to explain, but ride a few examples of both and you'll understand what I mean.

>yeah, what makes a full bike so safe? is it the added power, manual shifting control? heaver weight? I'll be using bikes for mostly low speed riding
Added power and brakes mainly. That 150cc Kymco looks to have the bare minimum brakes it needs to stop. There are also plenty of situations where having some power can get you out of situations.

Weight can go both ways, but if you do lots of highway travel a bit of extra heft can be appreciated. I was riding home last week and there were some pretty high speed winds. I only felt it when I was sitting at lights. On something like an NBC110 a strong crosswind can pretty much push you into a different lane.

>>13972182
Disc brakes are definitely a step in the right direction. You probably find the scooter easier because it's automatic. On a motorcycle the moment you're moving they're very stable and friendly to ride for the most part.

I'm the same person you were talking to in /dat/ I apologise if my posts came across as aggressive, wasn't my intention. Not all those posts were me however.

>>13972196
i wasn't the person arguing with you, i was playing video games and watching Fringe

I agree on the breaks. rear break slows it down. the front break almost stops it instantly, but i haven't tried that at high speeds

i have found the wind thing true, it's not quite as fun riding against or with a side wind

>>13972210
The brakes are still whimpy compared to a full sized back. I'd say that Kymco really just has adequate brakes if you know what I mean?

The brakes on my bike are fucking ridiculous though.

>i have found the wind thing true, it's not quite as fun riding against or with a side wind
I don't even notice it on that bike, but it was scary at times on my work bike.

We had them setup to carry the extra weight on the back, so when you're heading back to base, down a highway, on a windy day with nothing in the bags, cross winds are your enemy.

Like I said, the whole point I was trying to make it just to be safe. If you've been using /dat/ for awhile you probably saw what happened when a car didn't see me.

The neck braces are purpose designed for motorcycle riders, they aim to prevent cervical fractures in the neck from side to side and front to back hyper extension that may cause paralysis. Basically your helmet hits the plastic and is prevented from moving in any direction to a dangerous degree.
Only downside is that they increase the odds of breaking your collar bones. A worthy trade off if you're a racer if you ask me.

>>13972335
But a broken collarbone is already one of the most common injuries from motorcycle racing, and that is without the neck brace. Spinal injuries are much less common.

>>13972341

Never was cool to me, actually it's really stupid. I just was saying that it was big at that time, now the negros have stepped away from that.

Competing harms. One is significantly worse than the other. I'll take broken collar bones all day long so long as it heals and I can still walk.

A quadriplegic with perfectly pristine collar bones really isn't going to count his blessings.

Older ones have. I'm very uncultured regarding this. Not sure when the change came about, but all vehicles before 2000 or something along that date have initials on their plates (M for Madrid, SV for Segovia, IB for Illes Balears and so forth) that indicate where the vehicle was registered.

Now we just have the country letter (E) plus digits and letters, none of which are related to where the vehicle was registered.

no I can't handle the systematic destruction of /dbt/ into endlessly reposted sets of 2 or 3 images of the bikes people own because ????? while any and all conversations are then brought down to the level of requiring that the other person prove they have a motorcycle at all, thus necessitating that once again, one of the same 2-3 images is then uploaded and it bores me to fucking tears.

It's not bantz, it's retarded. The slightest sliver of even joking support of such a concept is putting another stab wound into the corpse of /dbt/.

If your idea of /dbt/ is 100% people with tripcodes posting the same 2 pictures of their bikes over and over again every thread until eternity, by all means, keep going.

>>13972433
I came here asking legitimate questions about the bike I'm buying and get no replies.

Yet some fag talks about scooters or posts his missus and the thread goes nuts. This place is the cancer of /o/ more so than /dat/.

My dad has been riding motorcycles for over 40 years and still rides regularly. I want to get him something motorcycle related for Christmas.

What's some cool motorcycle accessory that I could buy him for around $50 (absolutely no more than $100 tops if it's really good) that you think he's likely not aware of? Something new that you use while riding or on your bike that is really cool. He already has a GoPro, so that isn't an option. I'm just trying to think of something unique. I find it really difficult to pick out Christmas gifts for him.

Any ideas?

Wanted to go ride because it was a beautiful day and it was raining all week. I put on my gear and was about to leave when I got the message that the meeting that was supposed to happen in two hours has been moved to the next 15 minutes.
So I got angry and rode 20 kilometers in 15 minutes, through school zones, a city centre and a congested town, doing dangerous overtakes and other stupid shit
What the fuck is wrong with me

By hanging off of the bike you're giving the bike less lean angle and therefor allowing you to go faster around corners. Putting your foot out increases the lean angle of the bike itself because you're not shifting your center of gravity further into the turn.

In the Balearic Islands, not really. Palma itself isn't that big with 400k inhabitants. I was in Madrid previously, which was pretty noice. The togue there is the tits. It's big and large and pleasant (uh), here we have only like 2 good roads. Speaking of which I got my current job here after going on a date with a transexual by mistake who later forwarded me an offer she found casually.

I don't know if he'd like that throttle-lock device. I watched a video on it and it seemed really wonky, like it could get loose while you're riding or it could get in the way during a moment where you only have a split second to avoid something dangerous. I could just imagine him shit talking such a thing. I could be wrong, I've never ridden a motorcycle before. Do you use one?

he might like a phone mount or socks, neither of those are very exciting though.

What's up sluts, got my savage the other day, grandfather surprised my by slipping a screaming eagle slashcut on it while I was sleeping, picking up a pair of Harley drag bars off him this weekend, slowly but surely she's getting brought back. Gotta tear her down this coming week and plug an oil leak.

>>13972608
Yeah she was normal hair colors now.

I miss the vastness of the mainland, I know what you mean. The fact that you can pick a direction and just go 300km is a good feeling.

But there's plenty to explore here though. Even if you managed to explore every single road, beach (there's like 300+ of them) and mountain, you still have a ton of dirt roads crisscrossing the entire island. You could get a WR250 and still go crazy on those for a long time.

So I had quite a scare yesterday. Was doing 100kph on freeway when I hear this huge bang, thought my engine blew up or something. I instinctively pull in the clutch and stop on the side. Turns out my fucking chain snapped! I count myself hella lucky that it didn't catch on the real wheel..

Worst thing is though I have no one but myself to blame. I had installed a new chain about a week ago. I have no idea what I fucked up though, I have changed chain myself before without problems and I made sure the plate on connecting link was seated flush against the adjacent links.

Lean angle isn't a concern for supermotos. They're so narrow and lightweight that the tyres still grip just fine at extreme lean angles.

Racers stick their foot out because a) it keeps the front end more planted, b) there's no space for their feet when they're leaned over that far and c) because it's faster to transition when they're "counter-leaning".

If you don't plan on togue runs, pick the Rebel. They're super comfy and you can put a large windshield on it and be maximum comfy. It's also a well established model, expect to find plenty of replacement parts and accessories.

I rode 10k with a Virago 535 last season. I have nothing bad to say about. Really easy and cheap to maintain.

30 year old honda

got it for half price though because i had to remove them myself

>>13973543
didn't think intake manifolds cost that much for old hondas. ialso have the problem of having it installed in a licensed stealership with a certificate (no idea how much that costs), an i'll have to have it registered (70/80euros again). so it's a pretty expensive extra 14 hp

>>13973529
no

i swear to god, the "open in new tab" and "save picture as" changed position when i right click

>>13973615
not in firefox

so i crashed my bike hard and now starter doesnt work anymore, nothing on the gauges either
is this a fuse? why would it randomly brake now

>>13973628
i use chrome. but i don't know why, since i came home from work today i always click on pics to save them, wait a bit, wonder why i can't choose a folder, and then see that i only opened it in a new tab. this has never happened to me before. i feel like i'm going fucking insane

>>13973576
do you HAVE to let a licensed mechanic work on your bike? thats shit

>>13973649
i mean i need all the official paperwork when i want to get the bike through technical inspection every two years, or else it can't be registered and insured. and they only can be issued by an official, licensed mechanic

>>13973660
>technical inspection

i just clamped a piece of aluminium tubing in place of an exhaust pipe that rusted away

there are no technical inspections for bikes where i live.

At least he hit the car. A US cop would have killed 2 dogs and injured another cop doing that and then T-boned a car.

When I start up my bike after a cold winter night, a ton of smelly, visible white exhaust comes out of the exhaust pipe. It goes away after a little bit. What does this mean?

Pic related, my "air filter," I'm figuring this has something to do with it?

>>13973791
The causes of white exhaust smoke can vary; however, it is common to see white exhaust smoke when first starting a bike, especially on cooler days. This is generally steam caused by condensation

>>13973791
Replace your filter
That smoke is normal.

>>13973791
install the new air filter

How do I lube my chain on my new bike which only has a sidestand..?

>>13973921
use a rag and let the engine turn to chain.

>>13973930
You know some old guy at work that used to be into bikes actually gave me that advice in all seriousness, also saying that old engine oil is best for chains..

>>13973629
>crashed my bike hard
>y these RANDOM problems

Sell the bike and get a civic tbqh family.

What would a bike dealer do as part of a service?

My bike has plenty of stamps in the book so I want to keep the service history going, but I would feel like a fag paying somebody to just do an oil change.

Do they do anything remotely difficult for the money?

>>13973944
why would a fuse break when crashing

>>13973921
Lube it, push it forward, lube it.

>>13973955
No.

At best oil, oil Filter, air filter, brake fluid, lubing chain, spark plugs

anything else just when it's broken

>>13973955
Timing adjustement intervals.

>>13973962
If its an old glass fuse it could.

>>13973955
Change fluids, make sure the brakes are working, check suspension, make sure all the lights work, replace a filter if needed.
They'll all claim to have a 40 point inspection or a 50 point inspection, but its bullshit. Their points are like
>turn bars left
>turn bars right
>roll test
>depress clutch lever
>depress brake lever

Best to learn your own maintenance schedule. Even if you're a complete foreigner to a wrench everyone can learn on youtube in 10 minutes these days.

>>13973982
>They'll all claim to have a 40 point inspection or a 50 point inspection, but its bullshit.

Yeah back when I was an idiot with cars I would get the service sheet back and just imagine them ticking all the boxes without looking at anything, just like how I tick all the boxes on my vehicle check sheet before I take the work van out.

>>13973982
>Best to learn your own maintenance schedule. Even if you're a complete foreigner to a wrench everyone can learn on youtube in 10 minutes these days.

Yeah this is the thing I do my own servicing on my car and fix the odd thing, I can't take an engine apart but I can do some things. I like bikes because you can just get to everything right away.

So my shifter pedal keeps falling out because the grooves it's supposed to screw into are completely eaten away and destroyed. Any ways to fix this without ordering OEM parts?

I dont really have idea what part you are talking about but clean it real well and then JB weld it maybe>?

The shifter foot pedal. It screws into the left footpeg, and the grooves it screws into are eaten away.
