Cycle World is going to be doing a story on the '13 Indian Cannonball run, they'll be up at the shop to do interviews and taking pictures or something. So keep an eye out for that.

He's like 6'1 so shouldn't really be an issue. He just wants to do some touring riding, some friends of his just went to Alaska and back and he used to ride so when he saw me get my bike he got a little jealous.

>>15614928
Why do riders get so uptight when I don't see them when I'm on my commute? Just yesterday some twat was in my blind spot and completely overreacted when I moved over a lane, when we got to a light he was staring me down with his visor down so I rolled my window down and asked if he had a fucking problem, then he immediately turns his head straight and stops looking at me.

That's the other thing I don't get, what's up with the pretend tough guy act some of you put on? Does having a motorcycle make you think you're a badass?

Yes. What questions do you have?

>>15615156
How's the 2 pot

>>15615160
shit and I hate it

>>15615160
Delightful, it burbles like a V twin at the low end and clatters like a parallel towards the high. It's very linear but that's exactly what you want off road. It's never going to be the most thrilling engine but it works great up to about 90mph. Going beyond that is just a steady, uneventful climb to 137.

Honda a pretty good.

How does it feel offroad? And does it feel like it's for tall people only or can average, or even short people ride?

>>15614971
Gee AT anon, I didn't realize you were a cockmongling faggot.

>>15615156
On a scale of "douchecati" to "80's kawasaki 2-stroke," how reliable is the thing? If i'm buying and adventure bike, ideally i dont want it breaking down all the time

>>15615193
>How does it feel offroad?
It's pretty planted. I've only tackled gravel paths but I've never felt like it's going to do anything silly. The traction control is excellent but very conservative on the highest setting (which it engages by default every time you start but is easy to drop down or disengage from the left index finger switch)

>And does it feel like it's for tall people only or can average, or even short people ride?
It helps to be tall but I can flat foot the standard saddle on the highest setting and I'm 180cm tall. I prefer riding around with the saddle on the higher and sliding forwards to get my feet down at a stop because it's more comfy. There's a low saddle available too.

The saddle's exactly the same height as a GS but it feels less tall because it's thinner towards the front. Also, compared to the GS, you don't feel as enclosed or isolated from the road (in a good way).

>>15615200
I've never had a problem starting or riding it in 6k miles. My only foibles have been the OEM heated grips (just get Oxfords, they're a third the price) and a sticky dashboard switch which Honda replaced instantly. It's a Japanese built, low compression, slightly detuned Honda parallel twin, expect the sun to burn out before serious issues arise.

Do any of you use noise-cancelling earphones when you ride? My helmet is fucking loud and the wind noise is almost painful.

>>15615238
When I rode a sports tourer, I wore Shure SE215's with triple flange tips. You don't need active noise cancelling with those things bored half way to your brain and there's none of the distortion noise cancelling generates.

>>15615238
My helmet isn't loud at all. Do you have a full face?

>>15615238
my custom molded ear plugs just came in, i'm so hype.
insurance will cover it (for me anyway) so it's awesome.

>>15615238

2. Earplugs.

>>15615259

>>15615049
Man, that things basically a bicycle with an engine in it. Bikes sure have come a long way

>>15615262
Nice, better than the 35mpg I get on my strom. Looking at buying one for my commute.

>>15615188
did you occupy?

>>15615267
It's a great commuter, it somehow flicks even better through traffic than the V-strom I tested (probably because the CoG is very low). The only advice I can give is to test ride it along with an R1200GS and a Tiger if you're in a market where they're competitively priced. My friend rides a GS Adventure and, while he admitted mine was the better offroader said he preferred his GS. The biggest difference between the Honda and the BMW is the suspension, the BMW is much smoother but more isolated, which freaks me out. It also felt heavier to me despite being lighter on paper.

>2days til marquezwin

I get 41 MPG on my V-Stronk. ~1000' elevation, mild rolling hills, mixed driving but rarely stop and go.

It is 14yo and also has about 240k km on it too, it is dieing a slow death.

>>15615244
The SE215s are a solid choice man. My concern with isolation though is not being able to hear what I actually need to hear, whereas noise-cancelling would presumably block out just the constant windnoise + engine + vibration.

>>15615248
Yeah, but it's the Bell Vortex. Notoriously loud.

>>15615318
>My concern with isolation though is not being able to hear what I actually need to hear
I never had a problem with that. Because they're so isolating, you can have the music down lower. If anything, sound isolating will block important noises more (you could still hear the wind faintly and detect when a car was pulling into your blind spot from the change in tone and the slight suction on your back).

>>15615313
>240ks
Wheew. Might be time to have a look at the fuel system. I assume you've been keeping the valves adjusted?

>>15615335
Yeah I have a full hotcams shim set for it and it have only needed to use a few.

I am a bit suspect on the fuel pump, seems down on power a little when in the high revs and occasionally gives a buck when accelerating at WOT. I just haven't been bothered to remove the tank and to a flow test on it. Although a shitty fuel pump should give higher MPG due to it running under capacity. but IDK.

i use quite a few since i have to keep it in a carport under my bedroom. I have a regular kryptonite disk lock and a new york chain lock, although in retrospect a big ass chain and lock would do the same. I also have a cheeky arbus with an alarm on the back just in case they dont notice. All in all it could still get lifted in the back of a truck but at least maybe someone would notice with all the noise from the chains and alarm.

after i got the exhaust on earlier, i went to start my bike to hear it, but it wouldn't start. is it because i have the throttle tube off? i made sure it started after the accident. the throttle wires are just hangin out right now, so maybe that's it?

Anyone know why my gixxer shifts so loudly? It doesn't matter the gear, 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th, etc... each shift is a loud ass click.

I don't think it has anything to do with my shifting technique either because I'll just coast with the clutch pulled in entirely and the gears still make a loud ass click.

The shifting is smooth btw, it's just loud

Good first bike? I've never ridden one before. Do you think I could learn how to replace the fork seals on my own? I've heard you can also just scrape out the gunk that's keeping them from sealing.

>>15616216
You will want to replace the springs. The stick ones are only like 0.48kg/mm. Or put 15or20 weight oil in them.

What are some things to replace on a newly purchased used bike? Everything "appears" to be in good working order but there are still some things I would like to swap out.

Right now, I am considering new chain/sprockets, probably a new master cylinder brake reservoir since mine seems stained with some weird shit, and some new brake lines. Anything else? Load up bikebandit and hit me with your best shot, kid

There's a striple that's almost exactly what I want, with flyscreen/belly pan/other accessories but it's a week old dehydrated piss yellow. There's other bikes similarly priced, but if Id have to buy the accessories separate so they end up more expensive overall

Would the color dissuade you from buying a bike dbt?

Do you have a trustworthy service record? I'd change all the fluids (oil, brake, coolant).

>>15616260
>Would the color dissuade you from buying a bike dbt?
Yes. Some people might say you don't see the bike once you sit on it, but if I'm gonna spend money and time caring for a chunk of metal it better be a pretty chunk of metal.

I don't like watersports, sorry.

Maybe there's a thread on /b/ where you can enjoy your sick fetish with other degenerates

>>15616273

It's a decent deal too, which makes the terrible color all the more heartbreaking

>>15616301
That's the original big tip and the spark arrestor installed

>>15616348
Ok , have you heard it with both the tip and spark arrester installed?

Alright bike thread I'm tired of dealing with shit and I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on one of two bikes: here's the tldr:

I decided I wanted to get into riding, currently I drive cars as my hobby and have a few and have been requested to buy a bike before I buy another car because fucking shit money send help I have a problem.

I've been offered two bikes at better prices than I'm seeing pretty much everywhere, a Honda CB300F for 3 grand, or a Yamaha FZ-07 for 6 (out the door). So here's my question: how good of a deal is a 2016 FZ07 for 6k, and is it worth possibly having to find a cheap dirt bike on while it sits somewhere? Or should I bite on the Honda since apparently it's a great beginner bike and I supposedly will be able to sell it once I'm done with it.

To reiterate I've ridden a dirt bike like once and haven't ever even rode pillion on a street bike (no endorsement, no riding experience, etc).

If it matters, insurance on the FZ is 700 a year while insurance on the CB300F is like 4.

What do.

>>15616354
yeah, it was pretty meh so i didnt even think to get a video before i pulled it.
havent had it on the road with either yet though
>joys of being on call

>>15616129
never buy silver frame GS500

>>15616361
you posted the other day right? And we told you that's not even a good price for the 300

>>15616361
>I decided I wanted to get into riding
Don't buy new you literal retard. Get a running shitbike to get a feel. Maybe you won't like it.
>how good of a deal is a 2016 FZ07 for 6k
Not at all, unless you live in some shithole where it sells for 8k or something.

>>15616377
>it was pretty meh
so it is too quiet, no bark?

>>15616388
loses the bite and the bark, closer to a plapping sound than thumping

not too much different of a sound, smells better though

>>15616407
ok thanks, might still order the spark arrestors for my strom. since it is still rather loud with the p1x tip.

>>15616361
bruh, both those prices are fucking awful. not to mention they are both piece of shit bikes so forget both of them

here are your options realistically speaking. you need to pick one

1.) start out on a ninja250 to learn the ropes of motorcycle riding and general maintenance. don't get sucked into this 300cc/321cc/390cc meme, it's all dogshit that you're going to sell in 2-3 months. ninjas are cheap, retain their value, and have more than enough power for beginners. buy a ninja500 if it makes you feel better.

2.) the other option is to start out on a higher displacement bike. it's riskier since you can get yourself in trouble easier but if you know you aren't a retard and have a degree of physical aptitude when it comes to operating machines, you might be ok. this is the most economical option since you're going to end up here anyways but the reality is that it isn't very smart to do this. a lot of the mistakes I made on my ninja250 would have realllly fucked my day up on a 600cc

Whatever you do, do not fucking buy a new bike. You have no idea what you want yet and you're going to end up wasting a shit ton of money. And for the love of god do not buy an R3.

>>15616384
>1408053201795
I do live in a shithole where the lowest I've seen an FZ07 for is around 8k (taxes, destination, etc included).

The only used bikes in this area are dirtbikes and I guess I could just find one that's been converted.

>>15616448
converted dirt bikes make terrible road bikes. They require constant maintenance and are uncomfortable as well as being unsuited for cruising at 60+mph

>>15616407
My strom with the p1x comes in at 85dB according to a sound meter app on my phone

File: vfr.jpg (160KB, 1200x900px) Image search: [Google]

Is $2500 too much for this bike?

I want something unique and interesting, but I don't want to spend a lot since I'll ride the thing maybe 10 times a year.

>>15616468
how many miles? what year?

>>15616466
those apps are terrible at metering sound accurately, have you been able to compare to a real reading?
>tfw mine tried to say mine full open was 83db

i bet the p1x sounds a little better due to being a longer restrictor

>>15616481

24k

>>15616487
Nah, I don't have access to a proper meter. All i know is that before I put the tip in, after an hour long commute my ears were ringing and now with the tip they don't.

>>15616490

>>15616490
'no'

>>15616441
So there are no Ninja 250s in my area and the least expensive Ninja 300 I see is 3500 (which is doable), but where do I find the literal shitbikes?

>>15616498
It's a classic Honda VFR750F, they're pretty rare. Try finding one for less on your local CL.

I want something old and interesting, not a 2 year old Ninja 300 or some shit.

No. It's a decently nice bike. If it makes you feel any better, I dropped my (used, 2006) V-Strom on the second day of ownership because of dumb. The rear tire was old, I didn't use enough front brake, used too much back brake, and so high-side I went.
>pic related
You will fuck up at some point, which is why we keep recommending shitbikes, and oftentimes enduros/dual-sports because they're tough as shit and pretty cheap to fix.

>>15616468
I spent 1700 on an ill maintained 1984 VF500C, I'd say that if that thing's in as good a shape as it looks, 2500 isn't bad at all. Have you ridden it, though? I believe that's a Japanese Man bike. That is to say: rather cramped for a full-height American.

>>15616771
is that a crack in the footpeg mount?

Did anon buy the VTR250 interceptor?

>>15616787
No, the paint flaked off when the mount bent. That's what I thought at first, but over 2000 miles later, it's fine. The angle is a bit annoying but it works.

MOAR FINDS SOON, noobAnon!

>>15616796

>>15616815
It's fine, really. I closely inspected it after the accident for cracks and again just recently when I put the peg lowing kit on. If you can find me a right foot peg mount for a V-Strom 1000 that's under $60, then post up, because I haven't found shit.

The way I'd use my next bike is around 50% highway commute, 30% travel and touring, 20% innacity.
Also im aiming rather for a 4 cylinder, 100hp+ bike, although thats not definite.
So far my candidates are
BMW F800GS,
Honda CBF 1000,
Honda VRF 1200,
Yamaha Fz1 Fazer
Suzuki VStrom 1000
