I have absolutely no problem sitting on a DRZ at 70mph for half an hour (at least with a -3 rear sprocket). I agree it's not a good highway commuter but it will do it just fine if you need it to. I would only recommend it if you do most of your riding below 60mph. Even then I would still recommend an actual street bike unless you're doing any actual off roading or like to beat on your bikes really hard and just want something super durable.

Just make sure you use good dielectric grease on your front plug or it WILL die in the wet, even if it is one of those newer models with the useless rubber flap.

The drain holes around the plug well are just useless and in the wrong spot.

It's the first motorcycle I've owned, so I don't have much to compare it to, but I enjoy it. It floated on those rocks in low for nearly 4 miles before I arrived at that overpass. I've ridden it to work a few times which entails some roads where the speed limit is 55. You're going to have to be deal with shitheads tailgating you pretty much all the time. As far as parts go, Dr. ATV is pretty much the go to, ebay for the stuff they don't sale. Dr. ATV sales most minor things and has a lot of great technical resources but his engine and transmission parts can be pricey if he has them at all. There are certain things that you'll need to resort to ebay for, mainly engine internals and such. I'd still recommend buying from Dr. ATV if they've got it, I've never had an issue out of them

because the stupid cunt on the bike couldn't deal with being flipped off and apparently hasn't learned car drivers aren't worth interacting with.

It takes two to escalate a situation, you have to be impulsive and stupid as fucking hell with anger management issues if you think doing anything other than ignoring getting flipped off is a good idea, you don't know what the car owner is gonna do.

again, that only happened because when he got flipped off he felt the need to interact with the car driver and get up next to him to flip him off back, that first action of bothering to acknowledge or escalate any kind of conflict with a car driver at all is the part I am being critical of.

He locked the front wheel. If you lock the front wheel, you either let go of the brake or crash. Not crashing in that situation takes some skill with the brakes, and if he had skill he would still be on the blacktop.

No, and there never will be. You have to understand that isle of Man is a particularly unique "country" that happens to be very conservative. This combined with their history of motorcycle racing has created one of the only environments this can take place at. There are some controlled "street circuits" in places outside the isle of man but by no means will you find 37 miles of road and entire towns shut down for an event that people are guaranteed to die at (usually spectators)

Have you ever considered yourself as a role model for people diagnosed with Asperger's? How big an impact has it had on your character? Do you think it has propelled you forward and given you this passion for speed?
- Mandy Hughes

No, I don’t think I’m a role model. I am who I am. I might be strange in certain ways, and if that’s the name they have to put to it, then that’s the name. Most of my mates all think the same way as me. We’re that kind of person. If that means I’ve got Asperger’s then it doesn’t make any difference. I’m wired up the way I am, if I wasn’t who would know what I’d do or think? I’ve always been this way. I’ve had people try change what I do or how I think, but if I go along with it I’m fighting against myself.

This is from an interview on his FB page. He also mentioned it in some of his TV series, I forgot which and in some YT interviews.

Oh. I will wait a little and see how the 2017 does for a little while longer. I'm really torn between that, the KX450, and YZ450, though I heard the YZ has problems with steering, which is concerning.

Hey guys im thinking about getting a bike for the daily commute, was wondering what a good reliable entry level bike would be.

The DR-Z400 is objectively the best expert level dual sport bike.
> mileage
It's a mid-sized 4stroke single cylinder bike, so it gets at least 50mpg.
> handling
It handles nothing like a supersport. It it tall and light with a steering geometry set up to be very agile. Theis combined with the wide handlebars make it very easy to change directions.
> brakes
The brakes are designed for off-road and aren't so twitchy they will lock up easily on slick surfaces. They are completely acceptable but require a firm squeeze, yet with a larger diameter rotor upgrade like on the SM model you will find it taking no effort at all to slow down very quickly.
> power
When you're a good rider you don't need 100+ HP to pass everyone on the touge. Git gud faget.
> carbs
The CV carb found on the DR-Z helps calm down the twitchiness of a lightweight single.
> seating position
The tall seat combined with a completely upright seating position puts you high enough to see over all but the highest brotrucks. It is also a very comfortable position which puts practically no strain on your lower back or wrists.
> price and availability
The bike has gone unchanged for the last 15 years so there's plenty available for very cheap. The popularity and lack of change keeps the resale value high so it's easy to sell. This has the downside of making them expensive to buy in the used market but can be avoided with patience.
> suspension
The Dr-Z400 features a fully adjustable Showa cartridge forks and shock which offer splendid damping characteristics. You can tune it to your riding style with the clickers and preload adjusters, but you will benefit from a respring if you're a fat fuck. Lose some weight.

All jokes aside, WR450 is the pinnacle of sumos. Nothing can even come close to competing. KTM 500 and 450s vibrate and break down too much, DRZ a shit too much, and 701 and 690 weigh so fucking much.

Dunno if bait or not, but that gravel trap has 4-6 inches of fine gravel in it. In an interview he said it happens to the best of us sometimes conditions permitting and laughed it off. Really, no big deal.

I don't care who you are, at some point you're going to brain fart and grab the front brake at an incredibly low speed on a greasy surface. Could be a buddies gravel driveway, or could be your lawn after a bike wash.

for the mx bike ok I can cop it but dead set, why does japan think that making the exact same bike they've been making for 10 years will actually compete with the euro trail bikes which are now reliable and make more power, weigh less and have basic shit like 6 speed gearboxes.

On the honda usa website they also talk about the other innovations for this years model:
-electric start
-single camshaft
-18" wheels
-brakes
-handlebars
-single carb

I shit you not, apparently having a single cam, carbed bike is a big innovation new for 2017.

Alright /db/t, so:

>be me, have ridden a 125 but actually love the power, because changing gears makes me feel fun and cornering is fun as shit
>want a sports bike (rode a naked before)
>HUGELY IMPORTANT: WANT TO DO A LOT OF TRACK DAYS, BUT ALSO DAILY DRIVER

assuming money and year are no object (80s-90s suggestions welcome), what is the best beginner-ish (for the lower power) sports that is flickable as fuck, makes cool rev sounds, and is somewhat easy to get fairings for because i will probably trash the thing at the track while also being suitable for a 6' guy commuting (sports riding position doesnt really bother me, im actually comfier with more lean)

I've done just a little bit on heavy braking where the rear tyre feels squirmy and floats to the side a bit, but nothing like that.

Are these guys on the throttle when they're doing this or are they banging down gears without revmatching? It doesn't sound like they're only using brakes

>he let's the law stop him from splitting
You really don't even filter up to the front of traffic lights ever?
Also its still much easier to maneuver through moving traffic even if you aren't

If filtering is worth it, you can't see far enough ahead to verify if that P-platform glistening in the sun is a cop or just an autistic crackhead in a white mercury grand marquis.

Your "its not illegal" approach that lasted so long allowed a dangerous-looking (aka actually dangerous) culture to develop around the manuever. Dumbass politicians look at california and decide they hate the entire idea.

Washington almost did it right, but then the bill was killed by idiots that totally didn't just hate the entire idea and want the possibility of legality gone forever

>>16226961
>Your "its not illegal" approach that lasted so long allowed a dangerous-looking (aka actually dangerous) culture to develop around the manuever.
So it should or should not be allowed, if it is "actually dangerous"?
No idea what your shitty bill means after admitting that it looking illegal makes it dangerous means your government shouldn't have made it less dangerous by limiting it to a single lane.

>>16226970
It is dangerous when done improperly, as californians were prone to doing before the hammer was brought down (unenforcably, so they're still doing it)
