Riding a Harley-clone is just the worst.

>inb4 it's a better bike. Sure, it probably but but you don't really care, do you. It just sticks in your craw you don't have a Harley. When girls ask, "Ooh, is that a Harley?" and there's that brief moment where you're tempted to lie and say it is.

I like dogs, but when I'm out riding, STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I swear every time I go for a ride, some cunt's dog(s) run out after me or follow me to a stop sign and just bark at me.

I've already wrecked one time because of those little shits.

I got a massive DUI about four years ago. I say massive because of the circumstances surrounding it I got marked as an immediate threat indefinitely (this is a real thing in Massachusetts) which literally took two years to reverse/clear up and ONLY THEN could I actually start to do the DUI courses/mandatory aa/other typical DUI conviction or CWOF shit.

and while I can find car insurance, I literally can't find a single person to quote me for motorcycle insurance. It's instant denial across the board.

what the hell do I do?

Why don't the Japanese actually try and make cruiser-style bikes with their own distinctive styling instead of shamelessly ripping off Harley?

Victory makes disctinctive cruiser bikes. Indian makes distinctive cruiser bikes, albeit ones that haven't evolved much beyond the 1930s. Moto Guzzi makes distinctive cruiser bikes.

Why do the Japanese just try to make the cheapest rip-off of the Harley style they can?

For example, do something with that fucking radiator. Either go air-cooled or style around the radiator. Have some fucking pride, Japs.

Angry, hardly. Dismayed is more like it.

I am as bored with the Harley style as anyone, and I ride one. I'd like to see Harley and the cruiser style actually evolve, but Harley has no need to evolve and Polaris is just one company, who are probably going to kill of Victory in a few years anyway.

The Japanese could probably put out something cool if they wanted, like the Yamaha V-Max, but instead pander to the "Can't afford a Harley demographic."

>>15157016

You can cruise on a Ducati Superbike, but that doesn't make it a cruiser. Don't be dense.

Never ridden an F800R. The 800GS is great for daily commute and trail riding, decent on the highway, would not recommend for extended travel if you have an alternative. Also definitely want to be at least 6'. Ah but you're probably just asking how the 800R rides, can't help you with that lol. Here, have the iconic Paul Masson.

They all checked with each other and agreed it was neither a 60's cafe racer they could claim to have restored, nor an old Harley they could claim to have restored.

At that point, the Bolt became redundant.

Harley's worst enemy is its fucking customers. I went to a dealership this afternoon to order a set of replacement keys for mine, and the level of posing was beyond cringe.

"Born to be Wild" was blaring on the store's stereo system. Guys who spend the workweek thinking about their 401k's standing around trying to convince each other that they were just paroled or something.

I love that Indian doesn't have an "image" yet, aside from a slightly fedora thing they got going?

"Harley? No, sorry. I ride a bike from a little company called Indian. It's pretty underground, I wouldn't blame you if you've never heard of it."

Yeah, no it isn't. The company that Polaris took the IP and style from is older than Harley, but Polaris was founded in 1954 and the current incarnation of Indian, like the sixth or seventh, is a handful of years old.

>>15157165

Let's not lie to ourselves, now. You have a very, very good motorcycle made by Polaris styled to look like a bike made by some other company in the 1930s.

At the bar, the Indian owner is chatting up some girl. She asks if he rides a bike. He says he rides an Indian Chief.

Somewhat frequently. It's doable, albeit uncomfortable on sportier bikes like yours.

I've been wanting a R3 for a while but I can't justify one right now with already two other bikes. Don't let the "bigger is better" and "you'll get bored with it" talks get the best of you, you can do track days or mountain runs on a bike like yours over and over for a couple of years and still learn something new about riding every time.

Erik Buell's got some great ideas, but most of his ideas are shit and his companies can't help but make shit bikes.

If he worked at a company where he had some design control but also some actual oversight, he would make godbikes.

They're back in business now. We just became dealers for them and flew out to Wisconsin to meet with everyone there and learn about the bikes first hand from the people that design and build them. Super small company right now. Only a handful of people that work there.

Same bikes as the 2014 models but now the SX is priced at $12,995 and the RX is priced at $13,995

Erik is no longer the CEO. Now he's the chief techincal officer for the company and I think that with the lower prices on these bikes they will do a lot better.

>>15157396
Headlight is true, that exhaust is that way for a reason though. It was the only way they could get it approved to be a 50 state bike. They have a secondary eliminator kit coming out but it's for "race use only".

Kek nah but it was super fucking cool speaking with him face to face about bikes past, present, and future. I can't say too much because of non disclosure agreements but expect to see EBR go beyond the RX and SX very soon.

>>15157406
Will they let just anyone into the factory or did you just get in because of the dealership thing? I'm only about 2 hours away and it could be a cool riding destination.

Fuck all that, they should build a better Firebolt.

When they got that awful Rotax engine they tried to compete with Ducati and failed hilariously. When they had the Firebolt it was its own thing and it was great.

all headlights will look like this in the future, LED's mean headlights do not need to be very big anymore and the EBR headlight is on the legal limit of power for a stock headlight.

>ugly exhaust

the second lipstick exhaust is literally there to be taken off, big twins have trouble with noise regs.

>>15157433
I don't think the average /dbt/ rider would have any trouble with the braking power on an EBR whilst going around hunting for trucks to slam into the side of.

>>15157440
the old XB also didn't make as much power, and had to meet a lower volume restriction for emissions, look at that picture I posted from mt panorama earlier, look at the pipe. Looks fine, no secondary muffler.

on dbt it is normal.

Dead /d[iary]bt/:

Today I changed my baiku's brakes. Had some cheap pads on a whim ($16 took care of both front and rear instead of the $30+ per disc I was facing otherwise) figuring if they were shit I'd eat the cost for the gamble but if they were even barely-acceptable-tier I'd get by at a good price. Tested them out and I suppose I at least didn't fuck up the installation since everything worked, no dragging, no unusual sounds, behaved like my old worn brakes but better since these aren't worn down to the wear indicators. Fronts are nice and responsive and the rear actually exists now. Time will tell how they handle in the rain and how quickly they'll wear out but the first impression is good; perhaps by happy coincidence I did this with the odometer at exactly 25,000 miles so it'll be easy to track.

>>15157437
You have to be with the company in some form. They had an open house "homecoming" thing a few months back but other than that it's closed to the public.
>>15157440
With the redesigned motor I promise you it's there for a reason. The engineers went in to extreme depth about it with us. They know it's not great looking and admit it which is why they have the secondary eliminator kit coming out for it for "race use only" very soon. The whole exhaust system is actually on the underside of th bike much like the ninja 650. The pipe you're talking about is literally only there for emissions and noise control.

what he really meant was he sprayed started fluid in it and proved it would run. I told him all the wrong things with it and said I could do $400. then he said $450. I didn't have 10s so $440

>Is it rude to offer people half of what they ask on craigslist?
only if you do it over the phone/text. come look at the bike so you know they're serious. I would think most CL people realize that price should be negotiable. if not they're going to have trouble selling.

My first bike was a 1972 Honda sl125 that was a complete pos that I bought after it had been sitting in a barn/garage for over 36 years. It didn't idle, didn't go faster than 60, leaked a tiny bit of idle, the float somehow got full of gas and I had to hotwire it to keep it going at some point.

Eventually I sold it and bought a cx500 after a month of blissful misery

>>15157608
wait just googled it, looks like they put LED's on the new 500r.

Thing is, the headlights don't need to be that big, Imo I'm all for less wasted space, just know they look like that on the cbr500r for styling reasons, not functionality.

When it became apparent to him it wasn't vic ninja 650 he continued to sperg for reasons I'm simply not autistic enough to even begin to empathize with.

Wat do?
having a kitted out DR when I'm not going on a trip is retarded.
maybe I'll take 5 grand and the bike to vietnam and just come back when I run out of money.
Maybe I'll sell the DR and get a sport tourer and forget about it. Waddaya reckon /debeets/

I can always re-insure the GS300, but I'm too lazy to call up insurance and get it all set up.

>>15158129
Will do
>Implying I've got the balls to do a wheelie on that thing
I'm a scrub, anon. I haven't even done a wheelie on my 300 yet because of how short on cash I've been lately.

>>15158044
Dat stronk. I'm looking for a better windscreen; less turbulent. Ideas?

Atleast your 300 DOES wheelie. Pulling as hard as I can, dropping the clutch at WOT at redline lifts the front about 1' off the ground on mine. The MV powerwheelies in 1st though which is very nice.

I cut mine down 4 inches and it came out pretty well. I get a lot more windflow and less turbulence. It's a little louder but I wear in ear headphones. You can buy one on revzilla for 50 bucks but I just wanted that one, I hated stock.

I guarantee I would have your MV up pointing at saturn in two minutes.

no bike "just wheelies" without effort, it's like a puzzle but once you figure out where the pieces go it'll all make sense, it requires practice and patience but so does getting good at anything to do with riding. It's hard, but if it wasn't hard it wouldn't be cool.

>>15158168
Truth be told, I don't know if mine will. I've managed a burnout, but that's not saying much. I feel I'ma have to do some serious work with the second gear to get a wheelie going on. After I break in these new tires maybe I'll finally decide to give it a try.

They felt great when I rode on them on a 954. Can't wait to try the fuckers out on my MV, especially since the new wheels are way lighter.

You wont even be able to tell the difference on the street, on the track you will, but streets, no.

Also have fun trying to mount the fuckers. The rear is EZ but my 120 section front was a gigantic bitch to put on. Had to try to pop the other side of the bead over when the thing was sitting about halfway around the wheel. Thank god for windex.

>>15158248
Wouldn't a bumpy street be the best place to notice a reduction in unsprung weight? It should make the wheels keep traction more consistently.

>>15158248
Depends how fast you ride on the street.

>>15158254
Less weight in your wheels can actually be bad on bumpy roads, remember that is putting the centre of balance up higher on your bike and it is also reducing the amount of centrifugal force produced.

>>15158158
Remove mirrors and go for a ride. No more buffeting.

So am I fucked? Can I tell them to take the bike back? I think I would be okay with the aftermarket instrument panel as long as they can prove the odometer.

>reducing centrifugal force
Should make direction changes easier. This is a good thing.
>Center of balance higher
This can be remedied a bit by body position.

I'd think the traction gains from more wheel contact would easily outweigh those points.

my bad homeslice, your first sentence made it a little ambiguous.

>>15158224
yeah, heard good things. It is the middle of winter though so they probably won't be the best but it is an australian winter so it's no biggie.

>>15158229
The safety reason is a good argument for it but I'd be lying if i said I did it for any other reason than it's fun and I go faster because of it.

>>15158265
no this is really stupid, all conventional logic says less unsprung weight will allow the suspension to react quicker and upset the bike less.

There's a video of some black guy interviewing erik buell and he reckons the places EBR's benefit the best from the ZTL brake and super light wheels is bumpy tracks. ie. non motoGP spec tracks.

>>15158294

I would hope it was at 0km. Should get plenty dirty DD'ing it in everything short of snow although it's only had to deal with light drizzle and wet morning roads so far.

Actually, out of curiosity, anyone got a better spot to mount this camera? The wind noise from right here is just too much and I don't have the helmet mount for it yet.

>>15158304
Ah, fair enough. Bought mine used, only had 1.5k miles on it, and I guess the last owner lowsided and decided riding wasn't for them. Small scratches on the side, and a bit of a dent at the side of the muffler, otherwise the thing might as well have been new.

>>15158302
Yup the trail tech dash. As long as they can prove the mileage, i'm fine. I've already slapped myself.

Man the fact people manage to find riding not fun scares the shit out of me, but I have to remind myself most people don't give a fraction of a shit about motor vehicles in general to start with.

>>15158290
>Should make direction changes easier. This is a good thing.


again, on a track, yes....where you ride the bike to is full potential. Riding like a jackass thinking youre a wsbk rider and putting others and yourself at harm, no.

How to check if carbs are getting fuel? Is it ok to try to start it while the carb lid + pistons are out?

You need to replace your fuel pump.

BTW thanks knowledgeable anon, you saved me a huge headache. I guess the Trail Tech dash is a common upgrade and I figured out how to check the odometer and it matches the paperwork.

If I could buy you a beer I would! Thanks

>>15158482
the reason why I'm getting a bike (alongside fuel, maneuverability, maintenance, etc) as my first vehicle instead of a car is I can't find a fucking quote that's under $310 a month.

A month.
I make $400 a month on average, I wouldn't be able to fill the tank let alone commute that fucker to school/work
