Pros:
80 mph feels like 50 mph
Seat is pretty damn comfy
Ergos are pretty good
Literal sex above 7k

Cons:
Only 43-45 mpg
Eats tires
Stock suspension is on the soft side [mine is already upgraded by PO]
Apparently needs better battery than stock

I love it.

>>14048231
KEK!

>>14048236
Yeah, I like the seat you have on it. I guess I'll just have to test ride in spring.

>>14048249
Things to keep in mind:
I'm 6'4", you...aren't. The seat is high at my current adjustment, but I'm not sure that's the stock seat height.

If you don't want to buy it don't rev above 4k. The triple is sex. F'real.

Test ride all you can and buy what suits you.

i'm going to get a dualsport soon, probably a drz400s or wr250r, and i need a cross helmet. suggestions? i know, i know, watch the revzilla videos, but they dont really ever say anything bad (or good) that isn't super obvious, and it's not like they ride really test each product.
also, eventually i'll get some sumo tires for it, so what are you oponions on wearing the cross helmet on street? i hear the peak can drag wind and be uncomfortable, but do they perform okay in a street crash?
thanks

Why?

>>14048236
I average 50 mpg on my 1050 Speedy... But if it's a high speed run in the hills or an intercity suicide run, that'll go as low as 25mpg.

>>14048294

>>14048301
both reliable beginner dualsports. drz obviously a budget option sacrificing suspension and weight. wr has about the same speed, is lighter, and has FI but more costly. leaning toward drz because of cost. dr650 or xr600/650 also possible, but no good ones in my area right now.

>>14048306
so cross helmets suck on street? i wear the rest of my gear pretty much all the time.

>>14048264
5'9" average status is great for sportscars, not quite as much for bikes. I'll see if there's enough room in the pre-owned area for me to stand the Tiger up and hop on.

>>14048303
CC's at altitudes ranging from about 3,900 feet up to 9,000, and there's almost always some manner of significant head or crosswind on the highways.

You are almost ideal height for sportbikes. I'm too tall for literally every sportbike.

Oh and on the highway I'm always at or above 85mph plus once the bike heats up I almost always do an italian tune up.

Anyone know a website where I can order beach cruiser frames, and 26x4 bicycle tires for cheap? I'ma put an 80cc engine on it and fuck around on it.

>>14048354

>>14048359

>>14048349
WR250 will be the better bet for you. Look at KLX250 as well for a cheaper alternative that is slightly lighter with similar power. KLX is still carb'd though.

>>14048192
I have only ridden the strom. And the engine is a bit brutish under 4k but otherwise its a good bike. Needs to be manhandled if you wanna hit twisties on it.

>>14048376
thanks. they're better for beginners just because of weight then? are the drz's extra 25 lbs that much more difficult? i'll take your recs into consideration and ride both beforehand.
if i can brute force it on the drz when learning, i would save a lot of money for mods. wr is still pretty expensive. klx price is a bit more than drz tho, so it might be worth it. i'll need to look at the klx more though, that was my first search for them.

Basically, freshman year of highschool I decided to stop meds and therapy and "man up". And it worked pretty much

I mean I still can't speak in front of a croud. And I still have bad days but 110% better then when I was on medication

Tfw you compulsively buy a 2015 cbr500r with 4k miles at a dealership for 6.7k out the door. Tfw my age and speeding tickets would make full coverage insurance on a supersport rape my fucking anus. Tfw I'm too financially compulsive and impatient to just buy a used supersport outright and have minimal insurance costs. I mean it's a fun bike with good gas mileage and i needed to build my credit anyways but damn i will lose the majority of money i spent on this when i eventually get something else.

>>14048690

Man what should i do, itll be 2 years before all my tickets fall off my record. I guess i just have to take this financial hit like a retard. It's a fun bike that's fast enough but not fast enough to get me in trouble. i just know i could have at least gotten a completely new cbr500r for the same price. Tfw i cant control myself financially. Feelsbadman. I try to enjoy it without thinking about what i spent.

Electric bikes have crazy launch control built in. All of the Zero motorcycles could instantly loop out the second you try to open the throttle if their computer didn't regulate acceleration the way it does.
Its interesting because they have a supermoto model and they brag about how well it wheelies. They probably had to do tons of fine tuning to make it tamable.

I'd like to try riding one. I've watch tons of review and first impression videos and the one thing everyone raves about is the instant throw you back levels of power at any speed. That sounds like it could be tons o fun on the highway and city riding.
I don't know how I feel about the Zero bikes lacking both a clutch and a trans. I wouldn't want to get in the habbit of not using them then go back to a normal bike and forget to shift.

Really? I'm paying for one on insurance and finiance, and I'm only paying about £120 a month over two years, which includes insurance an everything.

I do hate the A2 restriction though, as much as I love my 500, I'd kill for a 2012 Hornet 600.

>>14048731
I saw your deleted comment. In Straya when you finance a vehicle from a dealer you usually have a day or two cooling off period.

But 1 month is too long.

Dont worry I bought a bike I shouldn't of. It was pure inpulse and the others on the market being twice the price, but they didnt need any work done. It all worked out in the end and only cost 600 to fix.

If you do not know what they are teaching then yes it is worth it.

Nah, it's harmless.

>>14049020
Stick a walnut in the exhaust and then push your eye up against it, have a friend rev the bike until the nut pops out. Much quicker!

>>14049022
>Stick a walnut in the exhaust

too small

>>14049023

>>14049025

I think a pencil at best.

>>14049020
Sure put your helmet on, attach a hose to the helmet then put a bag over your head.
Idk if you are serious or not but that would be the way to do it.

>>14048812
why dont they add more battery between the front end and frame? too much weight in front?

>>14049020
Why would you want to use exhaust specifically? Go ride yiur bike as close at the limit as possible on your nearest touge and fall off a cliff like a real man

Ever wonder why everyone is selling them? They were a funny fad but now everyone who bought one realizes they are useless for anything but to practice wheelies in a parking lot with. They are really silly looking to ride in the street and qts will laugh at you. I don't even know what niche they fill, which is why everyone is trying to cut their losses selling them at near msrp.

>>14049143
That and price is pretty much the only thing holding them back at the moment, but I can't see range being an issue for the type of riding that most people would want to do on the FXS.

The range on that bike is something like 140-150km for city riding isn't it? Highway range is rubbish but it's not really for that.

I'm really looking forward to electric motorcycles being in my price range.

The off-road helmets are designed and tested by the same standards. They will protect you in the same ways. If you're doing over 50% street riding though I recommend a full face street helmet. Much more quiet and comfy when cruising.

>>14049294

So it still makes 30nm less than a basic production electric dirt bike and only makes that in a narrow power band? I think I'll take the extra power with its instant torque and deal with 7kg of extra weight.

Don't get me wrong, I like two strokes two. 90s two stroke sport bikes are my jam, but electric MX bikes are going to blow them away.

The weight difference is under 10kg for a bike intended for city riding. Competitive bikes don't need much in the way if batteries and could quite possibly end up being lighter...

The availability of the power really can't be overlooked either. It's going to make a huge difference.

Electric bikes are superior as soon as the mileage and charging time get fixed. More torque, a better pwoerband, lower maintenance, just everything.

Fucking kek

does anyone remember that I talked about a 16yo Girl in my neighbourhood that got an electric bike for 12.000€?

Seems like they realized 2 hour charging time is not fun, it's up for sale not even after 2 weeks.

>>14049483
You really don't get it do you? Either that or you have to be shit posting.

Electric bikes can make way more power over a much larger power band and not weigh any extra.

The moment you start factoring in maintenance and running costs it just becomes a no brainer.

>>14049514
Basically this. Once the range issue is sorted, like it or not, they're just better. Even that is getting there, some of these new electric bikes have ranges clearing 300km.

>>14049541
Depends what you're doing. There's no reason I wouldn't use an electric bike for commuting. The charge time would make no difference to me.

>>14049514
>The only shitty thing about this will be no shifting, no sound.

No they aren't? City range on some of the new Zero stuff is 140km-300km. That's plenty for a commute and most rides around the city. Hell some of their bikes will go further on a charge than my bike will go on a full tank.

Once again implying there isn't noise. Jesus it's like you guys haven't even watched any leccy bike videos. Also if you're racing, speed is everything. And once they become the norm in racing, every other wannabe racer will want one too.

You won't be able to use full throttle at all... just like on a 450...
450's are already too god damned powerful for the race track and they are 55-60bhp.
You realise 4 strokes have smooth power delivery right?
The same thing happens when a 250 4 stroke races a 450 4 stroke on a strack that is not big enough for the 450 to make up time on straights and it is literally because of a few kilograms in weight and the things having too much go for their own good.

>>14049584
>No they aren't?
are you stupid?
they cost 12.000€

A used 250 costs 1200€. If you're commuting you want it to be economical and you will never break even with the e-bike, the 250 will always be cheaper in the current state of e-bikes.

Besides that you can use the 250 for more than commuting. So it's the better choice in all aspects.

You're still acting like electric bikes are super heavy. They aren't. The instant torque will just let them get more out of shorter straights.

In motocross terms, yes they are pig fat.they nearly weigh as much as a fully loaded KTM690 for christ sake.

>>14049636
Sounds awful.
Is there a country that's not shit around here?

Some models start at $8,500, and the dealerships help you work out whatever federal and state tax credits you're eligible for. As of right now I think theres at least one federal tax credit for $1,000 that you can get for buying an electric bike.
They don't need oil, you never have to do a rebuild, clean anything, and electricity in most places is significantly cheaper than gasoline.

Batteries definitely have a very long way to go, but for city commuting some of these electric bikes do just fine.

>>14049627
Well if you have money you don't get a shitty 12k€ either.

>>14049631
>Price is literally your only counter point

Price/Performance ratio, Mileage, Charging time. The big 3 problems.

If they fix that they're the better choice but as I said for now there is no reason to get one over a IC bike except you want to be a special snowflake.

>>14049641
>they nearly weigh as much as a fully loaded KTM690 for christ sake.
Which ones do? The dual sports? What about the ones intended for mx?

>>14049641
Not sure where you've come up with that. See >>14049129 that's a bike intended for street use. Cut the batteries back to exactly what you need and that difference is gone.

Either way I'm out time to sleep. Keep being ignorant if it makes you happy.

>>14049647
Even if they cost only 6000$, you won't spend 4000$ on maintaining and gas for a 250 or even a 650. You will never break even.

The only bike even remotely close to getting into MX is the KTM free ride.
>110kg
>42hp
So it is competing with the KTM 150 and it weighs 20kg more.....
The future is not here yet settle down.

Imagine that all the classic bikes/cars get restricted because of the fucking emisions, that would rustled all of our jimmies.
>>14049619
Thx mate, i have something in mind when my arm gets better.
>>14049647
well maybe i overdid it but you get the point.
It would be awesome if they make a replacement for fuel.. Something like ethanol, that would be tits.

I hope I get lots of cash for Christmas.

>>14049669
his point was that it's not far away and the bikes are a lot better than people seem to think

>>14049681
It is another 20 years at least, battery technology is one of the slowest moving techs when it comes to advancements.
Why do you think phones used to last a week on a single charge and now they only last a day?
Same betteries, they just requre more juice.

>im sorry.
Apology accepted, m8.

>>14049669
The freeride isn't made for MX though. It's intended to be a cross between enduro and trials bikes. A smooth power delivery would help more with those situations than brute force.

what the fuck is this smooth power delivery bullshit?
If you want smoother power delivery you get a 250cc 4 stroke instead of a 150cc 2 stroke and suffer the extra 10kg of weight.... why would you want to add another 10kg on top of that?

And no the free ride E is the bike racing in

You are thinking of the freeride with a petrol engine.

>Is bike renting a thing over there?

It is! I met some Germans not too long ago with rented BMWs.

Depending on how you do it it may be cheaper to fly here, rent the bikes, ride around and fly back, than actually ride all the way and leave the bikes in Barcelona or something awkward like that.

>>14049712
She looks a lot like a dude though. Not even a feminine dude.

Hows the baiku mate? Have you left the depression?

>>14049753

Gives me time to fix up a few tiny things (and mount some god damn tyres)

Getting your license midwinter is p ballsy though

Looking at places to live in WA, was going to ask him about it.

>>14049590
I'm.waiting for fucking snow. So I can go on the bike paths without having to worry about cycilists

>>14049772

If it makes you feel any better i am not allowed to ride my other bike legally for nearly 2 more years.

>>14049805
>i'd rate it 9/11
I did my test a week or so ago. High winds and moderate rain at 4pm so pretty dark too. Got hit by a gust of wind while doing 65mph and almost lost it. You know what they say though. If you can ride in winter you can ride any time.
