I love this bike, but holy fuck after 6 years of riding it I want something with a modicum of comfort. Sooo, new bike or is it time for rearsets, higherbars and an actual seat instead of that hard plastic shit I put my ass on.

Wellp, you're about the nth person to suggest new bike, keep Duc racey. Thinkin' maybe ZX14R or a mint 1100XX. Throw on some hardbags and ergo bits and embarrass people on a hyper-tourer sounds fun. There's a place near me selling ZX14R's for 10k. New...

I think I can get like a 1 inch rise max. The fairing and tank limit literally everything for bars. What do you mean by highway pegs? The only time I use that term is with cruisers. I think I can make my own version of the DP Superpole seat. They're pretty comfy.

>>16204429
Have you gone hektik on it

>>16204369
Go for a new bike, if you put all that shit on your Duc you'll ruin the riding position and feel for getting hektik and it still won't be as comfortable as a sport tourer or ADV.

Best liter currently (including panigale)? The rsv4 has dat sound, but the s1000rr is comf and fast, and ducati is beautiful looking. R1m comes with pretty much universal recommendations, and there's a good deal of hype for the new suzuki too. Which would /dbt/ get if they had the money, and why?

Kawasaki H2 or H2R then suck pay off people to legalize it for the street. Its a fucking supercharged hyperbike.

Please wear gear anon, doesn't matter what you're riding or where you're going.

Motorcycling is awesome, you want to do it as long as possible

Losing the skin on your hands means no riding for weeks as well as loss of hours at work and general hellish trouble. A $30 pair of riding gloves helps dramatically, better gear is always best.

I genuinely hope you do, at least get a pair of gloves and some sturdy over-the-ankle boots. A jacket with padding in the elbows and shoulders will help too and if you're unwilling to wear stupid over pants or riding jeans you can always buy CE-approved knee/shin guards for $70 or so and save your very fragile and complicated knees from being disassembled

This, pretty much. 600cc super sports are actually pretty easy to ride. Just keep the revs low until you're comfortable with the bike and you're good.

So much more fun and surprisingly comfortable compared to a sportsbike.

Yeah but it looks like your bad habits are mostly just being retarded and not getting out of the way of danger. A more powerful bike won't make that worse, you just twist the throttle less.

Holidays from work? They vary by business, but mine include New Years Day, Good Friday, Easter, Independence Day, Thanksgiving and the day after, and Christmas Eve and Day. I accrue 10 days of vacation time a year, and 5 days of personal time, and I can roll over up to 5 of each every year. I don't know where I stand on personal time because I'm the only salaried employee and they don't keep up with my hours closely, but I'm on track to roll over 5 vacation days again this year. I'll probably use all 15 up next year diving in Honduras plus my regular racing schedule.

Do not buy the SV1000 if you want a reliable motorcycle. They eat their own stators no matter what year the bike was made and there is no way to prevent it, it will just happen eventually.

>>16205956
a stator is like $30-60 and easy to replace, and also no big deal if it goes out. unless it's burning one every year i wouldn't be concerned

YOU GOT YOUR BALL, YOU GOT YOUR CHAIN, TIED TO ME TIGHT.

what is the penalty for using non dot slicks on the road? i can get some really cheap and they have good grip. it doesnt really rain here but i guess i can cut some grooves, maybe itll make them seem more legal too.

>>16206053
they don't handle heat cycles very well so after about a week they will be really hard and not grip well.

Also they need to get hot to grip well and it's nearly impossible unless you have miles of back to back corners

>>16205982
If it didn't put metal shavings through the engine it would be a simple fix every time but the magnets separate from the clutch and then shatter. The chunks float through the engine and you have a bad time.
>>16205987
For some reason the VStrom 1000 doesn't burn stators.
>>16205988
You know that a bump started motor with a burned out stator is going to die again very quickly right?

>>16206053
The penalty is not being able to get them up to temp. Depending on the brand and compound, they're probably dangerously slippery up to 180°F, which you can't achieve on the street. My race tires are DOT legal and still unsafe for use without warmers, it's not even easy to ride them around to get them up to temp without lowsiding.

there's something wrong there. that's not normal. Do you have loose screws? did you forget to use thread locker on your stator bolts?

Coils do not contain magnets. I should have said the magneto not the stator. ops. And it is a commonly known problem can be seen talked about on countless SV1000 forums.
>>16205988
Might wanna make that a $376.56 component btw and they fail usually after 15k miles. That price is just the magneto that comes apart, probably will take the R/R with it and that will take the battery so add a couple more hundred on that.

its a known issue for all sv/vstrom engines
iirc someone found some better adhesives to restick the magnets if they get loose.
granted i dont know of anyone on the stroms losing them before 25k miles the vast vast majority never have an issue.
the "countless" cases you find are pretty condensed, how many by percentage of all bikes do you think have any issues?

some quick googling will tell you the cbr250rr was made up until 1996.

also the nsr250 wasn't that fast compared to its counterparts.

the kawasaki kr1s was the fastest, followed by the suzuki rgv250/aprillia 250 (same engine) then the yamaha and the honda one afaik.

There is a host of modern scramblers being built by Ducati, Moto Guzzi, BMW, Benelli and Triumph that many mature-aged riders claim are not scramblers at all.

They are, of course, right.

Go to the end of this article and vote for your favourite modern “scrambler”!

Scrambler is an old term for a dirt bike up to about 650cc capacity that raced on off-road tracks with low jumps (by today’s standards) and various obstacles.

The old scramblers died off in the mid-70s, replaced by the far superior modern motocross bike with more power, lighter weight and longer-travel suspension.

Of course, the scrambles tracks have also evolved into today’s MX tracks with massive jumps and stutters that would kill one of those scramblers in a lap.

Wind the clock forward about four decades and the term, scrambler, has returned.

Triumph Scrambler scramblers
2006 Triumph Scrambler
Riders who want a scrambler don’t necessarily want to go hare scrambles racing, but want something that looks like an old scrambler.

Yes, because the form thats currently popular A: has nothing to do with function and could easily be replaced with different stying without adding weight or destroying ergonomics and B: is associated with 13 year olds and hooligans.

Adult off-roaders seeking an escape from the pointy, garish plastics that make no attempt to soften up the already aggressive stance that comes from an MX/dirt suspension are kind of screwed

Only sportbikes offer mature aesthetics and top tier performance in one stock package these days. You can get a very edgy looking cuckasucky ZX#, or a sleeker, more professional looking CBR. With the sole other "function first" genre, it's edgy shit or go home unless you want to opt for more weight and a worse suspension as some sort of fucking "adventure" bike.

>>16206671
>Seriously look at this shit.
Ok.
It looks like a high performance racing machine with a design that has been refined for longer than 3 decades to result in what wer see in your picture, Purpose built for an MX track.
What else am i supposed to be seeing other than you being ignorant?

Stop talking about shit you do not understand.

>the shape of the plastics and presence of graphics has jack shit to do with function

It's not like they're trying to build and maintain an image to attract and maintain a certain audience or anything

Modern MX bikes could benefit from straighter lines in the midsection, duller colors, and less intricate graphics if adults are to want to be seen on them instead of overpriced, undercapable scramlers and "adventure" bikes.

>>16206701
No its apart of riding, from the bike to the helmet. and the term Ride or Die isnt cheesy if you know what it really means bus boy

Oh fuck off they are mud guards you retard.
The two side covers stop so much dirt getting into the air filter, the front mud guard stops mud getting all up in your face and the rear mud guard stops your back getting caked in mud.

You know literally nothing about the bikes so stop talking about them you image whore poofter faggot.

>>16206713
It's a part of a subculture, not a part of riding. You could ride a motorcycle for decades and never think "biking without "protaper" on my handlebars? impossible."

When people are so repulsed by your manchild subculture that they are open to buying inferior machines just to avoid it you might be doing something wrong

>>16206720
you can have mud guards that don't look like shit

too bad it's more profitable to maintain the MX kiddie image and sell scramblers to people that are probably too old and sore to do real riding anyways

>>16206723

Are you implying the hipster faggots who buy scramblers ride them off road?
Because they don't and old people are smart enough to understand that the bikes we have today are insane compared to what they could get their hands on back in the 70's and 80's so they all actually love them, i have never met someone over the age of 50 who owned a dirt bike and was not in love with the thing.

Just go buy your form over function scrambler and stop trying to change things you do not understand.

Maybe buy a bmw 450x and you can realise trying to change a formula that has been refined for over 30 years is an impossible task because that bike was a giant joke.

Scramblers.

For people that think good looking dirtbikes are impossible (because they're stupidly uncommon)

Just taking the stickers off one and avoiding garish colors can do wonders

If some guys gets pissed off enough that no one believes him about his bike, then everyone says he won't post a timestamped penis on said motorcycle tank----it's obvious that everyone wants to see a penis.

Doesn't look like a scrambler, looks like it is capable of big jumps unlike a scrambler.

>>16206813
you could have scrambler aesthetics with an MX suspension, no compromise in function save maybe an extra two pounds of fat from the seat and tiny bits of extra plastic addign up, but nobody will ever make that

99% of the people who want MX suspensions want to look like MX racers, just like people buying sportbikes want to look like motoGP riders with race-inspired colors

99% of the people who want scrambler aesthetics just ride on fire roads and secretly want BMW GSs
