Yeah cruisers are initially comfy, for like 20 minutes lol. They have a plush seat and leaned back riding position which is like 'showroom comfy'. The problem is that all the road bumps go directly into your unsupported spine, and your posture makes you a parachute for the wind. Source: owned a virago 1100 for like a year.

Seriously for commuting and all round use, you're better off with a UJM/standard, or possibly a dual sport for DAT vision over cars.

The sv650 truly is a modern classic. You are living in the era where they are cheap hacks, but 30 years from now, a clean SV will be a commodity. Or maybe not a commodity, but definitely a well liked and oft-talked about classic motorcycle.

Rev'it Sand textile trousers: 0.71 seconds
Levi stonewash 501s: 0.56 seconds

So even a budget pair of fairly fashiony leather trousers (£100) offers better protection than premium kevlar jeans (£150), or the fancy Rev'it pants (£190). Those Rev'it BMW-bait "Adventure" trousers are shockingly poor for the price,

Kek ancient history:

[quote]
September 1988 issue of Cycle magazine did a comparison. They put a 75 pound sandbag in a milk crate, hooked to an assembly off the back of a pick-up. Test sample bags, made from different materials, filled with chalk was stitched to the bottom, when they got the tuck up to 50 mph, they lowered the samples to contact the pavement, to simulate a slide (not a tumble) here are the results, when the sample material wore through, the chalk line was visible, indicating the point at which the rider would be down to skin.

Leather competition weight, 3 oz/sq ft .... 86 feet
Kevlar 29 Aramid fiibre, Style 713 .... 22 ft 1 in
Cordra nylon, type 440 .... 18 ft 3 in
2 year old 100% cotton denim jeans .... 4 ft 5 in
Leather, fashion weight, 1.75 oz/sq ft .... 4 ft 4 in
Leather, fashion weight nude finish .... 4 ft 3 in
Senior ballistic nylon .... 3 ft 10 in
New 100% cotton denim jeans .... 3 ft 10 in

This is dated, and there may well be newer materials out there, but riding leathers are still your best bet

Maybe the leather won't wear through quickly on those, but the heat generated will melt that polyester onto your ass. Same with nylon linings. They heat up & weld onto you before breaching.

Leather in hot weather is a bad idea, that's the only major drawback. But I guess that's why we have textile in the first place, not as safe but more comfy.

I agree, and worked on Meriden Bonnies when they were nearly new. Many owners of classic light, narrow Britbikes own SV650s too.

Hoard all the clean stock SV parts you can if you have space. I've lived through the cool street two-stroke (H1,H2, RD 350, 400 etc) cycle and seen the same thing happen.

SV650 will become the new GS500 in a few years

The fastest bike I've ever seen on the public roads here is a 250, if you get dropped on the road it's usually not because your bike doesn't have enough power.

>>16232811
Then it will become the RD 350 as most of the nice ones are consumed, destroyed, or mutilated beyond recognition.

also keep in mind the general market trend has been toward higher displacement motorcycles as electronics and the march of progress makes them lighter, smaller, faster and easier to handle to the detriment of the 600 which is in danger of extinction.

>>16232889
Yeah the reason you can't bring a liter is because all the pros on their agile 250s will pass you in the corners and leave you in the dust, so then they have to stop and wait at the end of the road

Cool, thanks. When I say beginner I really do mean beginner though. Is the SV as forgiving and easy to learn on? (just going off of what I've been reading). Another aspect of the DRZ that I liked was that I feel like it would handle being dropped a lot better. Since this would be my first bike this was a concern. I love the SV650 but I can't shake the feeling that it's too much bike for me to start on, even though i want a bike that I'll keep for a while (unlike a 250 that I'd probably sell after a year). What's the difference between the S and the SM? Just the wheels and the suspension?

It's a typical adv bike, albeit a bit more off-road capable than most.

Adventure bikes are really road capable, but just not as fast and agile as sports bikes. You have to see them as light tourers, not heavy off-road bikes.

instead of eh acceleration below 7k and top notch acceleration above 7k some people rather just want to have good acceleration everywhere. Much more streetfriendly and easier to handle.

Some big twins have 90nM at 2k rpm flat out, you don't find that anywhere on an i4.

>I take it these kits are solid enough to take a good amount of offroading right?

For off-roading, which your earlier post didn't mention, a generic kit would work though you'd have to arrange brackets or aircraft cushion clamps since coolers are typically used on street bikes. Their radiators are as strong as coolers on off-road ATVs. One way to fit a custom install is to buy a cooler design you like off Ebay (if used, flush with solvent) whose size and shape you prefer. For a bike for which no kits are offered, you get to figure out how to tap into the oil system.

For off-roading, I'd likely just accept the tradeoff of shorter aircooled top end life for less complexity and leave it alone.

thats speedway though, those got very specific rules and use bikes with huge power band (hence big engine) since they often only got 1 or 2 gears.

older "race" bikes were actually smaller since the classes topped at 500ccm and everything was 2-stroke.

I have been told by multiple people that it's a "grey area", and that if you're unlucky, they can get you for dangerous driving. That's why I said, if you don't overdo it, it should be alright. In most city streets here, it's impossible to filter with more than walking speed anyway.

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your pic gave me cancer anyway.

how shitty are 50ccs? I need a bike to go to school since I don't have a driver license and thought about getting a scooter or a cheap dirt bike.

I can find one with just a few things to fix for less than 100$, and I just need to get a 50cc license which costs 80$, should I pull the trigger?


Thought about getting a 125cc but i'm short on money and I would need a 400$ license I can't afford rn

Hundreds of millions of scooters move people across the globe, and while they are slow they beat walking. Why not learn to wrench on what you can afford? What you learn will be much more valuable than one mere scooter, and those who learn to wrench need never lack vehicles.

I encourage people to do stuff. Give it a shot, take your time, download all the info you can find, learn the basic scooter engine families, and read about the many cheap modification options.
