post her feet

Looking getting an exhaust for my Ducati monster 796 for next season and I really like the Vance and Hines cs one dual undertail but they claim it only fits 2008-2011 696 and 1100. I'm pretty sure little to nothing changed from 2011 to 2012 which is the year of my bike and the 696 and 796 are almost identical. Think I'll run into any issues?

I'm going to be getting my license in the first quarter of next year. I want to start thinking about gear so I can buy it in advance and not all at once as soon as I start riding. Just looking for some advice from you fellas.

1. As a novice, is getting leathers overkill? I live in London (UK) and cycle year round, so would be fine riding a motorbike through winter too.

2. I have decided to get a DRZ400SM as my first bike. I don't care about the memes.. But would I look like a fool wearing leathers and a road helmet (pic related) on a sumo ?

3. What else could you recommend for year round gear, or am I better off getting both winter and non winter gear?

4. Reason I'm keen on leathers is they seem to offer the best protection, but again.. As a novice on a DRZ, is it too much? I prefer to invest money into quality things that last longer, rather than cheaping out and replacing it sooner rather than later.

By the way in don't think I'll be commuting, since I get a company car and as a Sales person, always have to look presentable and wearing a suit. So really this would be for weekend rides on and off road.

Should I get the Suzuki TU250 for my next bike?

It looks beautiful and it is perfect for fuel economy (around 70mpg) and commuting,

That's the bike I used for my safety course. I was riding my first bike a month prior to the course and compared to it o thought it was a joke bike just for crap like safety courses.

>>16282401
>1. As a novice, is getting leathers overkill?
No, leather offers the best protection

>2. would I look like a fool wearing leathers and a road helmet (pic related) on a sumo ?
Yes

>3. What else could you recommend for year round gear, or am I better off getting both winter and non winter gear?
Get some fat ass touring gear with liner to be warm. Also there is heated grips, heated gear, heated seats if you absolutely need to.

>4.
Safety is never too much. And you can keep using most leathers after crashes, it's easily the safest.

>>16282429
Sure why not if you need a beater. Just be warned, it's not any faster than a modern 125 so you may as well look into other 250s.

>>16282401
Leave your leathers at home unless you're going to the track. Get some textile waterproof pants, jacket and some solid boots

>>16282401
>But would I look like a fool wearing leathers and a road helmet (pic related) on a sumo

You look like a fool skidding over the asphalt in your fox jersey that's for sure.

>>16282490
Riding on road for 4.5 years, bike has gone down 4 times.

First 2 times was me locking the front on my ybr125 in the wet. First time was me panicking when an oncoming car decided to pass a parked car using my lane. Second time I was just coming to a gentle stop behind a car when the bike just slid from under me. Still have no idea why that happened.

Followed by sliding my TZR 125 coming off the roundabout in a group ride when it just started to rain a little bit. I was WOT trying to keep up with big bikes on a group ride. Bike was restricted at this point so I thought the tyre could handle it. This was in the same year as my previous "crashes".

Then, fast forward about 3 years and 2 bikes, I slid my ZX6r down the road going around a roundabout on a dry day after my rear tyre broke loose. Checked my tyre pressures, the rear tyre was at 18 psi...

>TL;DR check your damn tyre pressures

>>16282522
>German "roads"

I'm not the fucktard that thinks ice is a suitable road surface.
Here you can ride with slicks through rain without problems.

>>16282401
You'll look like a big faggot on a DRZ anyways so you may as well have some protection so the insurance companies have someone to ream when you crash your fucking fagmobile.

So wearing leathers on a sumo is stupid, but so is wearing MX gear, so just basic sober looking textiles, even if it isn't as good protection as leathers?

Is the road helmet fine, since I'd eventually want to get a street / sport bike. I would like to ride some distance.. Like 100kms away or whatever, I feel like a dirt helmet would be no good for that.

>>16282539
Haha, was waiting for this.. What would you get instead? The reason for the DRZ in my case is that it's slow, forgiving, cheap and reliable. Seems ideal for a newbie.

>>16282490
>riding
13 years on and off since I was 4, 2 years straight with an actual license and real bike
>crashed
Lost count on pocketbikes and dirt bikes, once on the street because I went riding at night without a working headlight.

Unless you count dropping it, then twice because I had to lay er down one morning after I slipped on a rock. Steep gravel driveways suck.

>>16282550
I'm just memeing you.

Wear leathers, no one gives a fuck how you look, be safe. You're on a motorcycle, you don't need cagers to think you look cool you're already cool as fuck. Just don't expect other people to think so.

They also make special dual-sport helmets that have visors and look a little more dirt-friendly so they fit the fashion better.


DRZ is a fine motorcycle, just don't be DRZfag and spam all the goddamn time.

>>16282490
2 years

2 crashes, both in my first two months of riding.

One was dropping the clutch in the parking lot thinking I had downshifted and instead just given 2nd gear a fat blip on the throttle for rev matching, hit a curb and ended up sideways in a mulch planter, nothing really hurt but my pride and KLR anyways so zip ties may as well be OEM fix.

2nd was coming into a steep hard uphill right turn too hard, clipped a curb and lowsided at about 8 mph.

When I got my bike the back tire was pretty flat and showed silver soon after. When I went to replace it they told me they filled the front as it was at 13psi. Luckily I was new to riding and didn't push the bike too hard.

>>16282559
OK, thanks bro. I have no intention of spamming that shit, I just did my research and it seemed like a good fit for me. I didn't want to give a shit how I looked, but I didn't want to seem like some scrub wearing overkill gear either.

None yet. Closest call was riding through a diesel spill then trying to go around a roundabout at normal speed. Back wheel slipped multiple times but managed to keep it upright. Dropped it many times offroad and when practicing maneuvers at low speed.

>>16282578
It is indeed. This is really what I was hoping to hear, I can afford it, so figured this was the safest route, and best value long term.

I would have suggested textiles if you intended on commuting with it but if you're just using it for weekends there's a good chance you won't go out if it's pissing down or freezing, so leathers will be perfect for you.

There's nothing silly about wearing leathers on a sumo if you're actually going to ride it properly and get your lean on.

MX helmets are designed for offroading. Ventilation, deflecting rocks and protection from roost. You're probably not going to need any of that. A regular full face will give you better protection, wind noise reduction and comfort.

>>16282586
Fz10 with aftermarket windshield looks pretty sick.

>>16282596
>tfw friends just say for me to get a car
Get better friends.
After my crash a friend gave me all kinds of lucky charms and said she wants to buy a guardian bell for my birthday.
Now if only she buys the tight leather suit she wants, she would be perfect.

Cool thanks for the explanation, hadn't thought of the noise reduction..
I'm hoping there's some kind of track nearby where I can really learn to lean, I don't mind crashing a bit if it teaches me how to corner properly, as long as I don't get flayed while I do!

I'm also looking for a bit more than 72 hp

>>16282632
why would you sell your monster as soon as you have it paid off, just to buy a used one?

>>16282577
No such thing as overkill gear.

>>16282641
Monster is my first bike. I've had it for around 4 months and although it looks beautiful and I found a guy who can maintenance it at the rates of Jap bikes it is too slow and cost too much to put aftermarket parts on.

>>16282586
EBR 1190sx is pretty comfy with a corbin seat

>>16282641
Also I couldn't afford two bikes.

>>16282635
>am I being memed right now?
Yes and no. Obviously what I said is true but you can probably afford something which is both reliable and better than a GS500.

>>16282635
>I heard the new SV650 is just a slightly remodeled Gladius, which were pretty terrible. Is that true?

Never rode a gladius, but I did ride a 2005 SV for almost 20k miles and now the new one and it just really feels like a throwback to those days.
Just better.

chose it over the MT07 mostly because of the round headlight styling and the far superior suspension.
New SV is a load of fun outside cities aswell, the MT feels kinda meh in comparison.

1. No. Also don't buy cheap textile ever. It will melt to your skin if you are unlucky enough to slide 3 feet. I did not have fun taking off those pants.
2. Most people say you look like a fool in anything but a hoodie and jeans unless you're on a straight up repli-racer.
3. Layer up. Scarf, bacalava, thin gloves to go under your gloves
4. No you idiot.
5. Offroad demands different gear. Speeds are lower, so the wind won't cool you down as much. The surface is uneven, so you tumble instead of sliding. Look at MX racers and tell me how many leather jackets you see. Depending on what you're doing most of the time you might want to get some strap-on armor and airy textiles to go over it as a compromise, or just do the armor and hang/pack your leather jacket at the trails. Road rash on dirt isn't that fucking bad anyways. Pavement rash is emergency room tier, dirt and gravel rash is bandaid tier.

They weren't content with their body and sex. Lots of people change parts about their body, small things like teeth, noses and ears, or bigger tits. Some take the full package.

>>16282933
They literally are m8

Having a worldview so fragile that everyone around you must agree with you or you have a meltdown is insanity. It's a figment of imagination.

I don't care how you get your rocks off, I don't care what arouses you sexually and you can play pretend your whole life for all I care but trying to use the government to force everyone else to adhere to your fantasy is asinine.

You = btfo

HELLO R3DDIT

Anyone else get really autistic about fuel economy/mileage when selecting a bike?

The main reason I am apprehensive about buying a bigger bike is that it won't have as good mpg as say, a 250 or 300.

>>16283203
No. I can afford gas.

>>16283203
just buy a 125 then you fag

Because they don't have fascist road racing laws

Is there any problem with buying somewhat old bikes if they look and seem mechanically sound (and have a professional check-up)?

I'm getting bashed over the head by family and friends to not buy a $1500 bike (yet parents refuse to help out) from 1996 purely because
>ITS A 20 YEAR OLD BIKE ANON IF IT GOES WRONG ITS YOUR LIFE

Bike in question is a Suzuki GSX250F that's only been dropped one (learner tip-over) with every damaged item replaced, no frame damage, excellent engine, and all known issues (throttle sliders, speedo cable) preemptively fixed.


Is there anything inherently wrong with a 20 year old generally bulletproof Japanese bike, or are my family and friends annoyances justified?

So what? You can still have uncommitted fun from time to time.. I don't get this mentality. Also, when a girl has a bf, don't ever let that stop you. Maybe he's a dick behind closed doors and she hasn't plucked up the courage to leave him, maybe he's cheating on her and she'll find out in a few months, maybe she's just kind of realising he isn't all that great anymore and she's kinda over it but too comfy to end it right away.. You don't need to be an aggressive prick about it, but don't let yourself believe you have to give a flying fuck about some guy you don't know. It they're married, fine, stay away. If they're bf/gf don't hold back.

I bet you would because there'd always be something you could have done.

I think it is possible to avoid almost every car pullout through forethought, road position, setting up brakes and whatnot, treating it like even if they pull out then you have an escape plan. If I can't see through an intersection I slow to a snails pace.

A deer is a wild animal and a different story.

Riding 1.5 years, started riding on a 600

Crashed one time I guess but never dropped my bike. I was on a road in the city debating whether or not I should take a left to get back to the highway, i looked, then hesitated a bit and didn't look again, turned right into a taxi, broke my headlight, cracked front fairings, popped the taxis front tire, and spun me completely around. Somehow didn't drop the bike.

I've locked up the front two times though and was saved by abs, once on the highway for a panic brake situation and once a week ago on a cold day with cold tires.

>TLDR I'm a shit rider but have never dropped my bike

If you can afford fuel, there's no replacement for displacement.

Suzuki has sold the RV series since 1972, it predates the TW200 by a very long time.

>should I wear gear
Of course you should what a stupid question. Will anybody care if you don't? No
Is it a better idea to wear protection knowing you could go down unexpectedly at any point? Yes any retard knows that

4 years riding now
A LOT of crashes on dirt
4 major crashes on the road:
>truck turned in front of me and I locked the front wheel
>Car came out of a blind driveway and clipped me
>rear ended someone while lane splitting
>Ran wide on a curve and went into a ditch
Also plenty of lowsides and dropping the bike. I'm a shit rider.

Well I've also heard that the more colorful your bike and gear are, the faster you can go. helmet grafix alone can get you 5 hp

AR does not equal assault rifle. I highly doubt he has an assault rifle. Select fire with an intermediate cartridge is what classifies as rifle as an assault rifle.

Most likely it's a semi-auto.

>>16284213
you sure know a lot about guns

are you some kind of terrorist

No way I would do such a cheap and hazardous mod. The reflector on those halogen lamp are not angled properly for a LED swap.

Bonus pic of my new rear signal / break light. Now I wonder how visible I am at night with just this as my running light. I'm now considering adding those license plate reflector screw.

if it were me I would want more than that. A red light strip across the bottom edge of the fender might look good.

What bike

>>16284370
The bike comes with a strip of light bar on the fender but I bought this from someone with it already taken off. I might do that but I'm would think the LED would be bright enough for people to notice no?

>>16282833
No. they use Rotax now.

Most of the Sportster engined abortions will likely get parted out to upgrade Sportsters as they get rekt. You can loot top ends etc. from the dead.

Fuck it, whatever it is. Gender is a social construct anyway so call it what you like and busta nut.

Dont you have to pay more for the right to have a full auto too?

>>16284157
>>implying no other part of the bike can change its hp

But that's not what the phrase actually means. What it means is ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL more displacement will produce more power. Anything you can do to a babby engine to make more ponies you can do to a larger engine resulting in greater hp.
