Alright so Standards are pretty much not sold in the US anymore and my dream bike CB1300 isn't sold here either

the closest bike to it here in the US is the CB500F. The problem is it has the Angry Ant headlight that all """""""""""""""""""naked sports"""""""""""""""""""""" have.

Would it be possible for me to get a classic standard headlight put on? Or is that headlight stuck fast to the bike?
>>
>>16157658
the closest bike to a CB1300 is a CB500?

Don't you have GSX1400, XJR1300?

>>16157658
Looks like it's mounted to the forks. Just find another bucket headlight with fork mounts the same diameter as yours. May have to fiddle with gauges and such to get it to work

Source? I don't see turn signals or other street equipment on it.
Since 2007 they redid their naming system in the US to where EXC was their street-legal lineup, and their off-road-only enduros (previously EXC) was changed to XC or XC-W. Strange that now they would go back to calling them all EXCs again.
Also looking through their online catalogue it seems they aren't releasing KTM XCs with linkage suspension anymore, but those are going solely under the Husqvarna name now.
>What do you think the maint intervals will look like?
Like last year's 450XC-W, because that's what it is. Very maintenance intensive.

Yeah I fall a lot. Are these basically the same material used to make parachute pants?

they're usually pretty lightweight material and don't fare well with falls at any speed or sharp sticks

So I'm finally taking my MSF course, 21 years old so I know the rules of the road and shit already. I want a helmet that can be usable for dirt biking but also on the road.

I started with a HJC FG17 on my dual sport, with sunglasses under the clear visor. Nice for colder rides and long highway stretches.
Then I bought a fox racing v1 with clear and tinted goggles. I wear this 95% of the time now. It doesn't flap around in the wind as much as you'd think. You can always see and breathe no matter where you are. No dust in eyes

>>16158439
Okay that helps I was expecting having to drop that much. I'm probably going to try some on in a shop and pickup some gloves and hopefully a jacket.

I'm not new to riding or mechanics, but I am new to camping. I'll be able to buy food and such as I go, but not sure what I need beyond a tent and don't want to forget anything.

Also, should I travel down the west coast, or the east coast? I'm going from Minnesota to Texas for college.

The drz is a shitty meme bike.
Its slow, lazy, and handles like shit.
Plus a wr450 is usually half the cost and very easy and cheap to make legal.
>>
>>16159103
Why would I buy a drz when the wr250x rivals it in pretty much every way aside from top speed?

Hey /dbt/, my 50 year old dad just got his M1. He's shopping around for a bike but refuses to consider anything that isn't a cruiser.

Any recs for him?
He's a pretty big guy if that matters
>>
>>16159116
It isn't really any lighter and you need a big bore and pipe just to match stock drz hp. So acceleration is worse, not just top speed.

Pretty fun to do. Now to never try it again so I don't fugg the bike
>>
>>16159132
A wr250x will neck and neck a drz without a big bore. Besides, my wr250x already has a full pipe and pcv. Why would I sell that to buy a drz?
>>
>>16159154
Maybe a bone stock DRZ, with all the pathetic stock components.
Give it a pipe, bigger airbox hole and rejet and there's no contest
>>
>>16159166
But once again, why would I bother buying something very slightly better that's a lot more expensive here, then doing a bunch of mods to it which would be more expensive, just to add up to something very marginally more powerful? The amount of money I would lose doing that I could just do a big bore on my wr250x and spend the remainder on dragon dildos.
>>
>>16157635
only internet contarians. classic bikes are the style right now. the popular, idealized image of motorcycling has bucket headlights, bullet instruments, and twin-shock swingarms.

bike manufacturers other than harley and triumph are oblivious to this and keep trying to sell us sporty looking bikes that aren't nearly as fast as they let on
>>
>>16159128
Any VFR. Basically sportbikes for old people with cruiser-esque ride quality (and compromised handling to match). They're quiet as all fuck stock (for the old timers. they don't like a racket.) and you will never find a used one that hasn't had a loud pipe installed.

Here's a 50 year old furry on one

The DR-Z400SM motorcycle manufactured by Suzuki.
>>
>>16159176
then buy a used drz with the mods, it'll be way cheaper than any used wr250r and more powerful
>>
>>16159176
You can buy one that already has the mods done. Where I live there are a lot more DRZs for sale than WRs
>>
>>16159214
>>16159207
Not where I live. I got my wr250x with the mods for $4k, drz's are $5.5-7k minimum.

No real proper way to do it, just wash it. Careful when pressure washing you don't hit any tubes or crevices directly cause you might get water where water isn't meant to be.

I normally just fill a bucket with car wash soap and water then sponge it, dry it with microfiber, clean and lube chain after.

but it looks so cool and is supposedly very fast. aren't those some pressing arguments for buying it?
>>
>>16160441
>>16160449
the only reason to not buy a GSR 600 is if you can buy a GSR 750 instead.

otherwise go for it, shits cash
>>
>>16160449
It sounds like you want it. Stop being a soft cunt and buy it
>>
>>16160454
the GSR600 is a lot less expensive though, at least the 2005-08 models. have you had one?
>>
>>16160449
Looking cool and being fast are reasons to stay the fuck away from it, ask your mum.

Yeah I know, get the 750 if you can find a good used one for the same price. If it doesnt fit your budget the GSR 600 is still excellent.
FZ6 is meh lookswise also the GSR has the (modified) godly K5 engine.

yes, in theory, I like the naked look more, but surely, the fairing is a lot better on the autostrada for touring

the 750 is like 5000€ used, the 600 is half of it

a friend of mine has the 750, and it looks and sounds godly, that's for sure. I just can't kinda justify dropping that kind of dosh on my second bike lel

It won't win races, but I'm not a racer. It sounds great, has decent torque and looks good.

if you want a V2 engine that won't suck ass, get a Ducati or an SV1000, but not that american junk. I thought this american nationalism jerking was just a meme, but holy shit are you delusional

92hp is enough for my next bike, and fuck Desmodromic valve maintenance. Tl1000s would be cool but they don't sound nearly as good, not have the whole Harley aftermarket got the evo engine

protip: that's a zinc solder. with the right flux it's a good crack-filler. it's pretty similar to glue, you have to have a big overlap to make a strong joint, and it won't stick to dirt or oil.

the shit only costs five dollars a pound wholesale, don't buy it from those snake-oil motherfuckers at alumiweld.

Does Honda make a 400 that's similar to the 650r?
If I was looking for a 400 where should I look?
