Caught the thread late last time. Post videos/maps of your favorite roads.

Bonus if any videos linked have good audio.

AZ 89A from Prescott to Jerome is great. It was completely repaved a few years ago so it's super smooth the whole way.

Why aren't there any good Japanese dual sports?

You're only allowed to use that font if it's summer. And if you have a vagina.

>>16173227
They gave up becuase people continue to buy the non-updated bikes they produce.

>>16173242
lmao so why do they buy them if they're not good??

>>16173276
because maybe they arent bad.
they also do something ktms cant, last 30 years

Didn't make it bruh.

They're good enough, reliable as fuck, and under $7k new with a huge aftermarket.

or have six speed transmissions

FACT: The Suzuki DR-Z400 is the most popular motorcycle of /dbt/.

>>16173294
what?
both have 6 speeds
the xr/dr650 have 5 speeds but theyre tractors that can power it out.
the dr200/350, xt225/250/350, xr250, klx250, wr250, klr250 and so on are all 6 speeds

>>16173302
fact; 78.4% of all facts on the internet are made up

>>16173326
Why would they do that - just go on the internet and tell lies?

going to actually get my bike license and start riding on the road, (legally)
would like to start out on a dual sport but i know il eventually end up on a supersport going down the highway as fast as is physically possible

even when im a jackass and ride my dirtbike on the road i ride like a jackass

>>16173179
why does that dirt bike have street tires?

>>16173377
Fuck off nigger. Nobody cares about you breaking the law

>>16173429
it is what is called a "supermoto" or "motard," the most fun and versatile kind of motorcycle. this particular one, the Suzuki DR-Z400SM, is the best selling, most popular, most reliable one ever built.

>>16173441
Are you trying to convince yourself or someone elder of that lie?

>>16173441

So how would I go about finding which wire to splice into to put a usb charger on my my bike?
Is there a thing like "always red wire from ignition switch"? or something?

You can but its not just the tires that make a difference. The sport bike will be heavy as fuck, hard to maneuver and the suspension will be shit. Sport bikes are made to be on asphalt. You can of course do it for the look and thats pretty fucking badass but thats all.

>SM killa

I cannot understand how the supermoto segment is still being roughly ignored by most manufacturers. From what I see as a 29 yr old male it's as popular as ever. Despite the wr250x being underpowered somewhat just being the only fuel injected mode from a Japanese manufacturer made it hugely sought after. Not to mention the service schedule. I don't understand why we don't have 400cc fuel injected models from every major manufacturer. I don't see anyone buying cb300s and 500s. Ktm has some options but I find more naked bike ish than supermoto. The drz400 has been hugely popular yet is still unchanged. Just look at the used segment. People are paying the same price for carbd thumpers as inline 4 Supersports that traditionally are the latest and greatest technologically packed machines for their time. Yet the supermoto segment as far as I can tell is mainly kept alive by drz and wrx used sales. Now 8 years later I can't believe we are left with the same choices.

>>16173551
in america beginners love the honda 300 and 500 cuckbikes. ninja 300s are extremely popular too. the japs really like to stretch their models out as long as they can. i mean the r6 took 10 years for a facelift, not even a proper update, and the cbr600 is being phased out.
i'm not sure why they're ignoring the supermoto segment. it shouldn't be too hard to modify their dirtbikes to pass emissions and give them a bit longer intervals.

Brand new the dual sports cost quite a bit less than the modern supersports. The only reason they don't plummet in value like supersports in the used market is
>they don't break if you drop them. scratches are expected and don't devalue it
>they haven't changed, so it's still almost worth it to pay half of MSRP for a 10 year old bike

AGV has really stepped up the quality of their helmets. The new Pista gp r, Corsa r and Veloce s are really nice. All updated interior liner and now emergency cheekpad removal.

Welcome to the master race

>>16174562
tl;dr if you live someplace cold/it's winter and don't have many responsibilities, go for it but be careful

I took it for a week, supposedly 450 dosage. On day three I was walking around campus while there was snow on the ground, it was about 40F out and I was sweating. Sitting in a slightly-too-warm meeting room for work for 30 minutes I had sweat dripping down my face as if I was having a light workout. The hunger was nuts, like carb cravings for the first week of Keto but for literally anything. I already have insomnia but getting to sleep was at least twice as hard, and I took my pills in the morning.

I suspect the dosage of the caps I got was wrong because on the 5th day I couldn't get out of bed. It was about 35F in my room and my bed was wet from the sweat. I couldn't sit up or even drink water without becoming super light headed and wanted to vomit and die. I could barely think. My GF at the time told my mom I had the flu so she came over and put me under the covers and made me hot soup. I wanted to die right there. About 20 hours after that episode started.

It may have been water weight due to the sweating and not being able to drink that last day but I lost about 7 lbs. It definitely works.

>>16174576
Well, seeing as how all I do all day is problem solve, maybe a little but probably not.
I've done my share of camping innawoods tho, so I'm definitely better off than your average dumbass.

supply and demand

it's a dirtbike. most WR owners who do long commutes by bike have cruisers, sportbikes, and tourers on the side and have no need for custom-fit aftermarket tanks. so supply is low prices are high.

i can still see some "brush" marks from my sanding, will that come out from later coats or do i need to sand this fuck all the way back down?

i dont know what the fuck im doing so please scold me

>>16174887
You should be using a higher grit sandpaper to get the marks out

>>16174937
80 to 600 was probably a bit too big of a step up. 80>120>360>600 and using a filler after the 360 to get it super even would be how i'd do it.

But if you want it done quicker, take off the first coat of paint over the scratches, with something higher than an 80, fill it with some flexible abs filler, then hit it with the 600 again, just dont press too hard, you just wanna make it an even surface relative to the area around it, instead of stripping it back to the original plastics.

>>16174963
Hes probably not using a sanding block, thats why hes not removing the scratches.

>>16174963
mate the reason i used 80 was because i originally sanded it down with 160 and applied about 1.5MM thick of fucking JB weld all over the entire fairing thinking thats what i was suppose to do

so dumb fucking me finds out this shit IS HARD AS SHIT TO FUCKING GET RID OF and i have to sand down nearly 2MM of fucking bondo all over my fairing (That is also peeling as well) with fucking 80 grit sandpaper, leaving those damn marks

please tell me what i need to do to have my fairing looking as decent as possible without having me remove that god damn coat for the 4th time. Can I not just take 600 grit to it right now and try to get it smoother, then paint over?

You can literaly use any flat object wraped in sandpaper. You will never remove the deep scratches unless you use a flat sanding block.
