Ich glaub dann würde sie mich aber rausschmeißen
>>15394533
Apparently depending on the state you can register one the same as a 4 stroke dirtbike that doesn't come street legal from the factory. My buddy who works at the DMV said he went through all the paperwork with his YZ125, it just needed state police inspection.

Und mit einem Motorrad kommt man da vergleichsweise gut weg.
Ersetzt auch gleichzeitig mein Auto, im Jahr spare ich locker 2000€ nur an Sprit und Versicherung.
Eventuelle reperaturen für das Auto (22 Jahre alt) da noch garnicht mit eingerechnet.
Werde auch demnächst nach Köln ziehen, da ist ein Motorrad einfach besser.

When there are not hard ground points to loop a chain through, loop your chain through the chain (NOT superstructure!) of an adjacent bike. Either can be unlocked without issue using the key, but having two bikes locked together makes it MUCH more difficult for thieves to move them, basically impossible without having enough people together to lift a pair of bikes completely off the ground.

Wollte nach der Schule Medizin studieren, mit meinem Krüppelschnitt ging das aber nich.

all your stuff on you
>>15395129
Because you're only looking out of your window in your garage.

why is anime so perverted? Every show/picture posted here is of underaged girls wearing revealing clothing obviously sexualized as the drawers put extra detail into the genitals/boobs.
I used to think these cartoons were drawn for japanese children but it's becoming increasingly clear the target audience is adult pedos.

Trying to install some lower bars on this old crappy tomos project I've got and I can't seem to get the left hand brake lever fixed onto the new bar
Anyone have any tips? I've tried heat, lubricating the thing, elbow grease, but nothing seems to want to work for me
Also, anyone know where I can get an aftermarket intake that'll allow me to mount a larger carb on? The stock one doesn't let in enough air for my new larger bore to function and it's the one thing keeping this from being a "running project"

Is there a clamp on the lever perch that you can loosen?
You might be able to find a rubber boot to adapt to a larger carb from a plumbing store or something. Maybe something from another bike too.
Carb diameter shouldn't keep it from running though. Did you rejet it when you put the bigger cylinder on?

Sure you do, the rims off an old gs500 will go on it.

you probably dont have a lot of easy options for 17s, best bet would be to lace a 17 on the hub you already have or buy a used sumo rim on ebay

how to i find a list of wider but same number of spoke rims?
Used ebay sumo rims are still pretty pricey. Will keep eyes open though
>>15396393
why do you want a sumod 650 anywho?
especially one with MX suspension on it lol?
What's the best beginner bike for a girl, cause like you know, I'm a girl.
>>15396338
no clamps, just one allen bolt to tighten/loosen the setup
no rejet, was just gonna go for the bigger 20mm carb i have right now
i need to do a detour pipe cause the bigger carb doesnt fit where the stock one does

I hear it is popular in japan with teenage girls.
Why are supermotos so expensive?
Can anyone explain the purpose of these 3-wheeled Can-am Spyders? Like what are built to do? Are they supposed to be more like a tiny car or a oversized pesudo motorcycle? It seems like they combine the worst traits between a car and motorcycle. It's like an ATV but street-only?
I read that this is the single best selling 'motorcycle' in the USA, so who exactly is buying these things and why?
>>15396425
Because dirt bikes are expensive.
Same reason a 10 year old dirt bike still cost upwards of 3 grand, it can cost that much to rebuild the engine.
>>15396364
>stock rim in a different size
What do you mean? A stock rim will be the 21 incher.
Get a cheap Warp9 rim or something and lace it up to your stock hub.
please stop posting Hondas I'll let you know I have autism and seeing pictures of Honda bikes REALLY triggers my Autism!!

>>15396444
You sure showed him
>>15396444
>>15396422
Is that why you bought it
>>15396425
Meme tax.
Also because getting road registration for an off-road vehicle isn't always cheap/easy.
>>15396431
Also this. For some reason used dirt bikes often cost more than used supersports, plus 1000x the maintenance costs.
>and normies think dirt bikes are for poor people who can't afford a "real bike"
>>15396431
>>15396458
Is it cheaper to buy a dual sport and convert it then?
>>15396406
because i don't need/want an enduro. honestly i also like they way the smaller wheels look. All my riding is on road anyhow.
Even at 650 is doesn't make much power. its basically a heavy drz desu. Drz has 10.2 in travel front mine has 12.2 front.
>>15396468
is it the XRL or XRR?
>>15396411
VTR250
>>15396444
Fantastic
>>15396444
:^)
>>15396464
A supermoto is basically a dual sport with the same size rims front and back and fitted with street tires, so yes. The rest is cosmetic styling.
>>15396444
>triggered so hard
>>15396457
Nah i got one because it is debatably the best lams bike thats not 15+ years old.
>>15396464
No.
>>15396444
checked, now check mine
>>15396493
Sure m8. We know about you Hane fetish. Plus that rising sun brick in your bedroom. Weeb pls
>>15396491
...no
they are worlds different in every aspect of tuning
>>15396493
The cb400 is over 15 years old m80
>>15396464
Usually not.
>>15396491
That's an oversimplification. Some people throw memewheels on them and call it a supermoto but a "real supermoto" build goes a lot farther than that.

>>15396688
why do they race more cruisers and other vtwins on flat track and not thumpers?
>>15396688
>>15396708
really think one of them could keep up in a race like this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYxEWM3rMhk
>>15396724
that doesnt answer my question at all
>>15396708
Have you ever been to a flat track race?
>>15396740
It kinda does, better bikes exist for the job and those bikes are heavily modified MX bikes.
>>15396769
idk why aprilia ever thought a vtwin dirt bike was a good idea.

thats a supermoto, dumbo
>>15396796
Exactly, it was a terrible dirt bike and had to sell them somehow.

how is this the same bike? first italian dirtbike ive seen 2bh
>>15396688

just pull the trigger m8
>>15396811
There is an rxv 550 too.

>>15396708
>>15396845
that reminds me, bmw tried to make a dirt bike back in 2009.
they tried to reinvent dirt bike design and failed miserably is the basic summary of the story.
>>15396769
Good looking shit
>>15396780
The SXV actually makes a god tier supermoto. Vid related.
>>15396803
I think the RXV has its place too.
>>15396811
Look at them. The SXV and RXV share the same chassis and engine design. The RXV and SXV were both offered in 450 and 550 displacements.
Beta is a successful Italian enduro manufacturer.
In a bit of a dilemma
I'm feeling that I've outgrown my SV650. It's a 2001, naked, and I've been riding it for the past 3 years. Starting to think it's time to move on to a different bike. I intend on getting into a sport bike, but here is the issue:
Do I go for a 600, and ease my way into sport bikes, or do I get the 1000 and grow my way into it?
Pic very related
>>15396845
I heard the Rotax engines are solid.
>>15396863
>no engine cradle
It's like they want to crack the cases when bottoming out.

>>15396876
do you want another bike thats pigfat?
if yes get the 1000, if no get the 600.
the power difference is only really going to make a difference over 200kmh.
>>15396911
Isn't it more about torque than anything. Peak torque is around the same for the 650 and 600, with HP being higher, but the 1000 has much more on-demand torque. I feel that might be more useful for commuting (which I will be doing with it as well as riding for pleasure)
The Tuono was also on my radar as well
>>15396926
Get a 1000. Simple. You'll be fine, they're easy to ride.
>>15396911
>1000s
>pigfat
LMAO
>>15396933
Dabs of truth right there.
Alright then, I'll start looking around for 1000s. Any recommendations? What to look for, what to avoid? I know Yamaha and Suzuki have a good following, but what about Kawki, BMW, and others?
>>15396877
>solid
It's all relative
>>15396926
Depends how much of the power you want to actually use, on a litre bike you might be lucky to use 10% of its power, can get boring but its much nicer for riding around towns or down highways, 600 would be the bike to get if you are weekend street rossi
>>15396941
Yamaha R1M
It'll be a great commuter :rollseyes:
>>15396941
They're all good. Just don't get something carbed.
>>15396947
Our roads up north here are terrible (Minnesota), so Street Rossi is really not an option. Might be some nicer, newer roads with wide sweepers. Could end up turning the SV into a track bike for funsies, as a friend likes to track his R6.
>>15396951
b-but Baron Von Grumble says that his R1M is a track-oriented bike that is uncomfortable for every day stuff
>>15396954
Sounds good, appreciate the input.
Thanks to everyone that chimed in.
>>15396936
>200kg bikes
>not pigfat
I want ALL the bikes. I just can't make up my mind about which one I want the most.
>ZRX1200 around 110HP with outdated chassis and suspension, carbed. Standard bike ergonimics. Super cool looking.
>XB12S Ligntning at around 80HP, but plenty of torque from as low as 2k RPM. Top of the line brakes, suspension, frame, and geometry for excellent handling. Fuel injected.
>Any of the japanese I4 600cc supersports for great power, brakes, suspension, handling, etc. No character. Race ergonomics not ideal for street use. Quite revvy.
They all seem comparable in cost.
The XB seems the coolest to me but that 80HP figure form a 1203cc engine sounds disappointing. Although I imagine it will still be exciting coming from my 45hp shitbikes.

>Street Rossi is really not an option.
