Why are people not convicted when bikers get killed over road rage? You always see people cutting off bikers like they have some personal vendetta against them which sometimes even leads to death. And they never get in trouble.

I was riding with a friend yesterday. My friend was cruising and he pulled up between 2 cars at a stop light which is legal here. As the light turned green the car to the right purposely turned left into him trying to cut him off and ran over him. Ended up with a broken leg and totaled bike. Guy got a ticket for reckless driving and that was it. Fuck that bullshit. He purposefully cut him off and intended harm.

whycome MX bikes have 19 inch rear wheel while enduros have 18 inch rear wheel?

Would the bigger wheel be handy for going over bumps on the enduro too?

>>16284712
I think the enduros use a taller profile tire. So the outer diameter ends up being the same but the tire can do more of the suspension work.

MX bikes probably use the larger rim so they end up being slightly lighter.

This is going to sound silly but

>No bike license yet
>Plus I want to bring someone more knowledgeable
>Who should I bring

>My old man
Relationship has been a bit iffy over the years but he used to ride a bunch and knows his shit about bikes etc still rides occasionally
Still rides occasionally but may not be the best at troubleshooting and figuring out what the bike may need


Or
>Friend of mine
Same age as my old.man

Haven't talked to him.in a while
Probably knows a bit more on the mechanical aspects about bikes and what it would need etc

On the downside he's hard to get to commit to anything and tends to be very opertunistic about everything thinks everything can be an easy fix
Also may help me fix it up etc

>>16284716
less unsprung mass on the drive wheel, same reason they use aluminum sprockets.

Also on the MX track you don't need the protection against pinch flats that a taller tire offers

Dank. Niggas can call it a beginners bike all they want but to me it's just a comfy baiku that has okayish power and handling. It is pretty pigfat tho.

I'm going to put some woodcraft clip ons on it with 1" risers to help make it more responsive to steering input.

Also why again didn't you go with a 690?

>>16285130
690 isn't available as a KTM with meme wheels in the US. At least I don't think so because the 690SMC-R hasn't been on the KTM US website for a couple years.

>>16285055
How the sound quality tho? I honestly prefer a deep growl compared to a louder whine

>>16285130
I would have gone with a used 690 if the 2017 701 didn't get the new engine that makes more power, revs higher and supposedly fixes the rocker bearing issue.
Also I sort of wanted new and used 690's are fucking $7000 for 20k miles.
Yes, I wanted the sumo version not an Enduro.

Would be true if you were buying an FE501, 500EXC or FE570.

The 690 and 701 both share the one glaring issue the XRR has [albeit worse], which is weight.

how is 60 hp even useful on the trails? Torque is a much more realistic metric if we are talking woods/single track riding. Don you have to rev the 2 stroke to 9 million in order to access that hp anyway? I'm sorry but I just don't see how all that horsepower is even relevant for purposes outside bench racing.

My bad I didn't realise you were merely pretending to be retarded.

Anyway I haven't ridden the new speedie so I can't say for sure but I have ridden a tuono and from the waist down you'd swear you're on an rsv4, so if the speedie is a more comfortable and relaxed ride (and I'm sure that goes for engine character too) then I can see them being worth it for people.

Keep in mind most motorcycle reviewers are failed racers and serial adrenaline junkies who don't necessarily represent the average buyer. Most tuono riders I've seen don't go crazy on them.

You would have to go with the 430/480 which isnt exactly a bad thing, one of the most reliable bikes on the market and all of the performance is still there

>>16285822
4 months?
idk, best i have managed was a few days and that just about killed me

>>16285824
Yeah that's fine with me. Im just not really sure what the difference between the two bikes besides the displacement / hp specs. From what I understand the 430 is lighter, but would the lower stress on the engine mean longer maintenance intervals?

2MB, 2433x2433px

>>16284479
Ayyy klx400 bro

>>16285835
Pretty much but even the 480 has good maintenance intervals, the basic thing about the betas to know is they have double the oil capacity of say an MX bike so you simply do not have to change it as often.

Honestly even a drz is just as bad maintenance wise as almost every mx bike, the only difference is the drz has a larger oil capacity so can be left longer between changes, both bikes still use just as much oil as each other though.

The other maintenance costs come from lighter internal engine parts that wear out faster.

>>16285849
Here is one i like to use to compare maintenance costs, my road bike needs new oil every 5000km but it needs 3.8 litres of oil, if i were riding my 450exc-r on the road it would need its oil changed every 2000km only it holds less than a litre of oil, if i were to use the same amount of oil i would actually get further riding the 450exc-r than i would my road bike, the trade off is it would take 3 oil changes to get that extra 1000km.

>>16285855
what about things like valve clearance checks and engine rebuilds though. There is no doubt that you have to work on a dirtbike (especially a performance one) more than a road bike

>>16286161
They were recommended to me and were also rated best together with I think Sportattack 3's.
But M7's supposedly have better grip in the wet and since I commute through all weathers I value that highly

I have them on my tuono. They're ok, nothing you're going to want to be dragging knees with but enough to feel stable and comfortable at high speeds.

Too much of a noob to be dragging knee yet anyways, only been riding for around 7k km.

When does it happen?

On the Sportmaxx Qualifiers the bike came with, accelerating in second gear (not even violently), regularly caused the rear to just break out completely for several seconds.
Felt like a freakin belly dancer on that thing.

what are you on about? M7RR are sport tyres no? basically any modern tyre is fine to be going around dragging knees on, hell I had 0 traction issues with angel GTs scraping peg which are full on sport touring tyres and nowhere near as sporty as the M7RR.

>>16286219
5 seconds when the rpms jump up and the shift light goes on. Harder to tell on video because my head and handlebars were kept straight but rear went out

>>16286213
it's because the m7RR has a slick strip in the middle, this is good for high powered bikes in the dry.

>>16286213

keep in mind I haven't ridden a W800 yet, but I think it would be a tad more comfortable on long ranges because of its seat. But again, the W800 "only" has 48 hp/217 kgs (and only 5 gears), while the xsr700 has 75hp/186 kg with 6 gears

I also think the Yamaha looks quite a bit better, but if you're into that Bonneville look, go for it

I came here hoping I can get help with something. What would a first bike recommendation be I simply want one to commute to work and home. I currenltly drive a Sandero Sport from Renault but it is a bit heavy on the gas. I just want cheap transportation. Also it wold have to be one I can find in Mexico preferenlty budget friendly I don't need to drive long just around 24 km daily

>>16287599
Taco 125cc scooter.

>>16287599
Sandero RS is hard on gas?

Anyway just stay away from Mexican assembled Chink bikes (Italika, Kurazai, etc.). Curry bikes and jap bikes are better and not that much expensive.

If you are near the border, American bikes are easier to import than cars. This is neat since the big four only seem to offer cheap work bikes and too expensive mid tier bikes with little in between.
