Last weekend before my insurance expires and even with it wet, I went out. (Asphalt in the 'burbs was real fucking slippery.) Super fun though she kept wanting to stall and eventually died. Luckily my friend was also out in the middle of no where and gave me a tow and she eventually got started again. I love my bike.

Riddle me this /dbt/, why do so many of you faggots ride dirt bikes, dual sports, or some other meme piece of shit bike?

There is literally no reason to not own an early 2000s 600s or even leader bike. There isn't a single person in this thread that has the balls to lie to my face and say they aren't even interested in those bikes.

Why the fuck don't you guys own any?

Because liter bikes are fucking slow pieces of shit and only pussies ride them because they're afraid of a nonlinear torque curve.

There, I admitted it. I ride a cuck bike and I'm scared to ride anything REALLY fast like a CB500F or an SV650. My redline is barely higher than a Ninja 250 and I make less torque too.

maybe if you are a hipster that rides a cafe racer

I'm a second-year rider on an R3, started out on a Ninja 250. For any anons unfamiliar with the inside-baseball, the Ninja 250 is ranked somewhere in the 3-5 range of best bike, while the R3 and GS500 duke it out over the 1 and 2 slots.

I was always impressed by the performance of the Ninja 250, but it just isn't in the same league as my R3. The drop-off in engine performance when you leave the 250cc class is pretty steep, and it must be even steeper when you look at sub-250cc bikes. I mean this in the least arrogant way possible.

The consensus on /dbt/ is that most of the value-added comes from the additional low-end torque. I can't speak to the quality of other bikes, but the dominance of the R3 self-perpetuates pretty easily. Knowing that I'm riding the best performing bike for its class is a comforting thought.

What should I adjust/do if my clutch lever feels like squeezing a grip strength trainer?
It's not unbearably tough to pull but there's no play in the lever, it feels like shit to me.

I've never felt any other clutch lever so I don't know what one should feel like. I can still ride fine tho.

>>15925776
bad clutch cable and/or clutch plates and basket

>>15925776
start by getting a cable luber and flush and re oil the cable.
a good clutch cable will take very similar weight to pull it in and weight to hold it as you let it out.
if its significantly harder to pull than to let out after cleaning its probably time to replace the cable

I hate people like that. And horse people in general.

>>15926107
I just throw japanese yew leaves around horse-heavy areas

bikes leave tracks and make noise (and could stand to be sold with quiet mufflers), and idiots can make them dangerous, but horses cover the trail in massive amounts of shit and pose a completely unpredictable danger to unfamiliar people and can't be controlled.

this has less to do with bikes than it has to do with horses though

my dream is a future where all unecessary species domesticated animals are rendered extinct and unecessary individuals slaughtered, and the corpses used to alleviate some world hunger. it's a fucking wasteful hobby. bikes burn fuel, bicycles are made of metal, but animals eat the same food we need, or the same food our foodstock animals need, and are less functional than any and all other vehicles and "toys". seriously, fuck them.

Shit suspension travel that might indicate bent forks/clamps

>Salvage title

In most states title status cant be changed so its considered garbage only good for track and not street legal.

>>15926147

Take it up to about 35mph and take your hands off the handlebars.

I rode a Ninja 250 that had been "dropped" that got a violent head shake doing that. Turns out the "dropped" happened after "I ran into something and bent the front forks a bit unevenly".

>>15926162
Salvage titles are street legal as long as you repair or replace legally required parts

Only dumbasses tell insurance companies when they crash unless they have full coverage to replace the bike. A $150 fork fix and a dab of streetfighter rice is fine to you, but geico won't offer that. If the previous owner is enough of a dumbass to make a claim on a bike when they can't get it replaced outright and then buy it back, who knows what else is wrong with it. Improper break in? Non O-ring chain that they never touch?

Question. I know you faggots worship sport bikes.

What does /o/ thing of the Victory Empulse TT? It's an all electric sport bike for about $20k.

I am too slow on bends

what do?

>54hp

>>15926722
and some specs cuz i know you're all bench racers.
>fully charges from empty in just over 3 hours.
>54 HP, 61 ft-lbs
>57-100 mile range
>470 lbs
>6 speed manual that only needs the clutch used when changing gears
>100 mph top speed (limited. without the limiter, it's been clocked at 145 MPH during the 2015 Isle of Man TT Zero race)

>>15926746
With power and weight like that, it's not a sport bike.

>>15926709
yes
yes

that's not even good specs for an electric bike, zero SR costs $5k less, has more horsepower (67 vs 54) nearly twice the torque (106 ft lbs vs 61) and a bigger battery (13 kw/hrs vs 10.4)

>>15926730

except electric motors aren't rated the same way gasoline engines are. Electric motors aren't rated by their peak output. They're rated by the most consistent output throughout the entire rev range. Peak output of that bike is 2 and possibly 3 times what that thing is rated at.

>>15926761
Ok? It's still going to be BTFO by any ICE and have a longer range and lower price. Well worth spending an extra $10 a tank.

Electric bikes just aren't competitive yet. Why does it even have a 6 speed transmission anyways?

It does a 14 second 1/4 mile

no matter what it's not a sport bike, it's about as fast as cruisers lmao

now fuck off because we don't like your piece of shit overpriced redditmobile, we never will, it's shit.

>>15926767
>Why does it even have a 6 speed transmission anyways?
find another electric bike with one. It's big news. Most electric motorcycles, and even electric cars use a single speed transmission because they're less prone to breaking. The fact it has multiple gear ratios and is reliable is newsworthy itself.

Even the Tesla Model S uses a single speed transmission.

>>15926761
Fuck off tree hugging hippie commiefornian cuckold. Gas bikes a best.

>>15926776
Because electric engines don't need it.. Is it just for the shifting memes or what?

Xt will be more boring, dorso is considerably more reliable than the hyper, the duck is more refined
All in all you should get the dorso 1200

According to reviews, it's actually the worst of those 3.

>>15926796
