and the road legal aprilia makes 201 hp

the h2 isnt REALLY a supersport due to pigfat.

Do you people not even bother knowing 1/4 of what you're talking about before you start posting, you know the ducati doesn't actually have a "frame" in the traditional sense at all right?

This is without going into how many times MV and Aprilia have beefed up their engines. MV already claim 200.8 for the current F4RR and ducati already claim 205 hp for the 1299.

You're inventing some kind of new gentleman's agreement that doesn't exist for no apparent reason I don't know why.

>Yeah, ducati is using a monocoque isn't it AWESOME?

No it sucks, it's why ducati haven't had a WSBK title since 2011.

1098's used to regularly beat 1199's on their introduction, that's right, not 1198's, 1098's.

The monocoque frame on ducatis was not a design choice for higher speed or better handling, I think it was designed to make mass manufacturing more viable as ducati trellis frames were all hand made while the magnesium subframes on panigales can be cast.

Checa was 4th on the 1098 in 2012, 15th on the panigale in 2013.

>>15913946
Cool, inb4 the retarded headlights are staying.

I feel like we've had the same bikes for like 5 years now, tfw no new liter piter

>>15913949
I mean, honestly the gist im getting on the panigale 1198 is that its a pretty garbage bike compared to what its put against. Garbage is a strong word but its definitely worse than the competition.

the 1199 didn't properly "work" and neither did the 899 (especially on the track), I'm told the 1299 and the 959 fixed it immeasurably and they're great bikes though.

You can visibly see the panigales require more work to ride than any of it's brethren, shaky byrne is managing to win BSB on one now but it looks like he's muscling it 2x harder than he had to any of his previous bikes, chaz davies is only doing alright in WSBK right now because he is riding at 110% all of the time (and has the wipeouts to prove it) rea rides with something in the tank.

>>15913940
Why are you talking about wanting 250 horsepower if you're riding that?

Do you agree /dbt/?

>>15913992
I'm not really into racing but everyone I've talked to who rode the 1299 said it just doesnt stand out in any way beside the fact that it gets really hot and its uncomfortable. I mean shouldnt those disadvantages balance out with great performance or some shit?

>>15914000
>https://rideapart.com/articles/why-the-190mph-bmw-s1000rr-would-make-a-terrific-first-motorcycle
no, you'd think you're a good rider because of quick corner exits making up for your shitty riding.

>>15914000
fuck no, sure the bike has a lot of electronics and modes and shit but to me it seems like it has no point for beginners, maybe if you wanna use it as a sports tourer or some shit.

Tfw bmw will never create a lighter version of the s1000rr that would be a proper supersport.

>>15913999
It was a point of discussion, personally I think bikes need to advance way more in terms of handling and electronics in order to cope with more HP, kind of like the r1m.
Also I hope youre not saying the sxv550 is a slow bike?????

>>15914002
the R1 is faster than it on the track and only 3 hp down on paper.

People mostly buy panigales for how they look, they don't care about most everything else.

and for the most part, who actually cares about on track performance? the average rider doesn't set the world on fire.

I just find it disappointing because ducati has this great heritage of just making bikes to race and fuck everything else, the 1199 represents a shift in attention to capturing consumer interests which kind of ruins the appeal of ducati to me, now strangely enough, yamaha is now ducati, making a bike to go fast as hell on the track and so fucking what if it's no good on the street.

Usually the grill on cars offers some protection and having a radiator get pierced by road debris isn't unheard of.

If anon had spent like 2 seconds actually inspecting his radiator at some point he should have realized how delicate the thing was.

They do demo days here but if you live in a nowhere town like mine they don't happen often. I went to a demo day at the Harley dealer but it got rained out.

I'm talking about walking in and asking to ride a new bike on the showroom floor. Most dealers that I know of wouldn't allow it.

well don't post "such a shame" and a harley at the same time you ignoramus.

The 1125R was always supposed to be a fully faired motorcycle but harley corporate forced them to make it into a naked at the last minute because they were worried about it competing against other faired bikes in the market. Those air intakes are a disaster because they had to be reverse engineered from the original design.

Basically the EBR 1190RX is the bike he wanted to make all along.

Jeep kind of is too honestly, but I don't think it's just that. Just like Jeeps are the image of offroading to most Americans, Harleys are the image of motorcycling. The war and GIs buying them may have created that but it's certainly not the full reason.

At least until the current generation the Wrangler was always one of the best stock Off-Road trucks on sale.

CJs, YJ, and TJ Wranglers are pretty hard to beat when it comes to value vs how far Offroad they'll go. Throw XJs into that mix also.

A TJ, on take-off JK Rubicon springs and shocks, with a 4.0, factory D35 w/ LSD/3.73 rear, high clearance bumpers and a set of 31s will do more than most people will have the stomach for in a daily driver. (And all of that work can be in a driveway by a monkey with a wrench).

I think even the new Jeeps for the price are one of the better buys for offroading. Plus none of the other offroaders have the golden setup of BOF, solid axles, decent stock offroading ability AND a huge aftermarket.

They might be the best offroad but even at the Jeep Premium price they are still the best deal IMO.

You may not be a risk taker, but either way riding along at the speed limit is tweaking your brain because it knows the inherent risk.

If riding was as safe as walking it'd just feel like walking and I'm personally glad it doesn't.

>>15914911
yeah it's a funny story, I bought my SV first then when he was going to buy a motorcycle, couldn't think of anything else he'd rather buy having rode mine a few times.

Sometimes people find it odd we got the same bike as though we should want to have different bikes for whatever reason but it doesn't bother me, we're not snowflakes.

whether or not scientology counts as a religion depends on the country you're in.

Fucking children in here

>>15915087
Yeah with stock exhaust the Tiger sounds pretty weak until about 4500rpm. Can't be fucked paying for a new exhaust though.

We need to bring back 360 p-twins. Dentists would approve

>>15915094

>>15915130

Only if your name is harambe

>>15915133
half of what you pay for on expensive motorcycle gear is the name tag.

>>15915133
Shit is made in china but the brand is japanese

>>15915094
Well fuck man,
Honda makes 500cc, 650, 700cc p-twin cruisers/standards/sports/semiadv

Kawasaki makes 650cc p-twin cruiser, standard, semiadv

Yamaha has a 700cc standard and a 1200cc adv.

I just learned the ninja 650 is a p-twin.
Not that i would buy one

>>15915166
So is the Vulcan S and the Versys .

Have you looked at Triumph Bonnevilles?

>>15915133
my Klim gloves were made in China...

>>15915166
ninja 650 is a learner bike, they do make good commuters though

>>15915166
why are you guys jerking off over p-twins now? Must be the most boring engine config

Or the Thruxton. Proper forks and more power than the Bonnie

>tfw Triumph won't do a Scrambler based on the Thruxton and if they did it'd be crazy expensive.

>>15915180
merricans don't like to rev an engine so they hate inline 4's

>>15915172
I was thinking truimph scrambler if any triumph.
>>15915180
You dumb
>>15915189
You also dumb. Ive ridden many 4cyl bikes. From 1979 CB650s to 2016 R1s.
I dont want to deal with working on them anymore

>>15915189
If this is true then why do I ride a bike with an inline4?

really? it's easy as fuck to filter out the shitposting, just don't reply.

The stuff that turns me off is the blind leading the blind effect of people who don't know what they're talking about giving bad advice to noobs with a straight face.

>I like 600cc I4s so I'd say the CBR, if only for the fact that to be not shit at cornering you need to keep the RPMs high and stay in the powerband. The SV650 with the broader powerband means you'll get good exit speeds without having to work as much on body position, lean angle, etc....


like that load of gibberish I read the other day.

>>15915207
No but i dont imagine its easy to work on

>>15915201
you sound like a cuck

>>15915214
European bikes are easier to work on in my past experience. Especially if it's naked so you don't have to fuck around with fairings.

>>15915205
secretly you aren't an American

>>15915189
I mean, I own a high CC sport v-twin moving from an i4, they're pretty similar with the v-twin being more linear. Still has a powerband, though.

The Scrambler is based on the Bonnie with wrong side down forks and the same low power 900cc P-twin. It looks good though

so winter is coming fast over, should i do an oil change now or wait until spring?
