kind of, but not really. It will go fast enough, but won't win any races against a 600cc sport bike. They sound excellent though.

Ladies like the big hips and butt it gives me

>>16289307
>ladies like men with big hips
Lesbians maybe. Wide hips are not appealing on a straight man to straight women.

>>16289298
I had a 90cc Baja dirt runner when I was like 11 years old. It was the biggest turd ever, I remember it literally couldn't get up a steepish rocky hill like 10 metres long. Tried running at it WoT in 3rd gear and shifting down right at the base for torque but there was no chance.

Never had mechanical issues and it was fine for putting around on logging roads though.

>>16289315
>>16289307
Additionally, the single most objectively definable thing about the male body is that women prefer a high shoulder to waist ratio. Wide shoulders + thin waist/hips = attractive V taper. Wide shoulders, wise waist/hips or thin waist and wide hips makes you fridge mode or feminine hourglass which is less desirable.

Should have said big thighs and butt though, the pads are only on the thighs and tailbone. Looks like muscle under the pants. When I wear a sweater over my armored compression jacket and jeans over the shorts I look buff even though I literally never go to the gym

Is there any reason not to buy a 20-year old bike? I'm not interested in resale value, and I'm aware of the existing possible issues (speedo cable, throttle slide holders) that the bike model is known to have, but it seems perfectly fine.

Are the people around me just idiots, anons?

Why do people do this? The DRZ is literally made for faggots like you.

Only sportbike bros can afford to buy competition-grade machines because WSBK and motoGP put emphasis on an engine not needing to be opened until after a season or two of being flogged.

I still don't see any cornering.

Also you have like 5 real dirt bikes; I don't know why you would choose a sport/touring bike to ride through that shit other than just to make it more difficult/annoying to do.

>>16290628
>weird dirt bike chassis
The frame for the 690 and 701 are more street bike derived than dirt bike. Engine hanging out the bottom, trellis design instead of a twin spar aluminum frame. It's almost like they designed it around the 690SMC which may be the case

>>16290640

>>16290650

I got no idea. It was on the bike when I got it. It has that big bulge in the header so I figured it was the whole powerbomb/poowercore or whatever it's called system. I don't particularly like the way it sounds and it's somewhere between stock and MRD (basically a small perforated, straight-through muffler) noise levels. I've ridden a bike with the MRD pipe and it didn't seem any more powerful than mine. I've also ridden one with the stock pipe that seemed just barely any slower.

If you want to really improve the bike beyond "muh noise" I suggest you spend the money on a Keihin FCR carb instead of exhaust. Freeing up the intake can help power quite a bit and everybody claims the throttle response is 100x better when you get rid of the shitty CV carb.

>>16290657
He's either being sarcastic, or he means that when KTM introduced the frame to like 5 different bikes, they designed it specifically for the SMC, rather than the duke, but prolly the former

>>16290673
as opposed to the enduro
but now that I think about it, It was probably designed for the Duke to begin with

doing both of these at the same time. just need the cash for the pipes and misc parts for the carb. i guess i'll just get the pc4 cause it's cheaper.
if you want a bit less throttle twist, check out the zip tie mod. i mentioned it here before. basically just gluing a ziptie to your throttle tube to widen it. i glued 2 and they've been on there and working well for about 3 months.

see I don't know of any twin spar KTM frames either, their dirt bikes are usually what you'd call a double steel cradle.

Twin spar very often requires no cradles whatsoever.

Twin spar dirt bike frames would be like what all the japanese 450s have now. Still has a cradle under the engine but 2 aluminum frames going around the perimeter of the bike instead of a spine going directly above the engine.

Modern KTMs are somewhere in between a traditional backbone and a twin spar. Its side tubes move up most of the way to the steering head but don't go all the way around the perimeter.

I was thinking twin spar vs backbone based purely on the upper frame construction, but you're right.

then you haven't been watching very hard lol, they're been around since the dawn of carbon brakes in the late 80s

They're not "guards" as much as windshields, they pop these on when the air temperature is really cool or the circuit has mild braking in order to keep the brake temperatures in the optimal range for the carbon discs to work best.

I don't necessarily want it, but if I have less money than expected come tax return season I will probably fall back on an FJ.

also fuck that I would rather just negotiate them rebuilding or cleaning the carbs themselves before buying a bike that needs it. Or, just buy a fuel injected bike like a buell.

>>16290846
and

Even if they're dirty, everything that will ever plug up a carb can dissolve in gas. If you ride it for a while, however poorly it runs, the carbs will eventually be clean.

Put your finger between the triple and the steering head. Do the brake thing. Can you feel any play? Common problem is rounding of the steering head bearing race or the bearings themselves are no longer tight.

He bought an ITALIAN bike and it's BROKEN.

>Some of us care
The feeding hand gesture is not always acknowledged or reciprocated. Don't do what my parents did to my brother and coddle him to the point where doing nothing for 6 years but playing computer games is ok. It's an easier trap than you think.

Why doesn't he want a ninja 250? Has he ever ridden before?
Has he ever been on the road before?

>>16291137
Apparently they look like "the ugly box". He is special needs but it's not that bad.

>>16291117
Serious advice here

He's 16.
Do not buy him a street bike unless he has experience in dirt or is more interested in learning to ride well than just riding around. If it's the latter get him a 500 or 650.

If he has experience in dirt and is sort of good at it you can probably get him pretty much anything he can flat foot and blow through a parking lot test on.

>American wage slave
>successful

Working towards academic success is still work, and requires a stronger work ethic since there is no immediate cash reward or grumpy foreman telling you exactly what needs to be done.

>>16291124
If you want reliability, don't get a bike.

>>16291135
I never said italian bikes are reliably you dingus. I said MY italian bike is reliable.

>>16291143
>dirt bikes are better for learning on
Know how I know you're American? Because you're bad at riding a motorcycle.

>>16291143
Seriously, this.
If a kid says no to a free 250, because it's the ugly box, you better smack him the fuck down from anything I4 and 600+ or physics will do it.


>>16291139
What is your riding history? Without sounding too much like an asshole, I'd just like a feel of your perspective.

Also, how serious are you about special needs?

>>16291154
But it's broken?

>>16291156
Do you know what a road bike learner never feels until it's too late? Loss of traction.
They might regain traction, but it's highly likely they aren't on the bike when that happens.

>>16291161
No, it's never been broken in 9 years.

So because a study is important, give them everything? I didn't pay my education, my parents did that (€1700/y in college), but anything that wasn't needed I needed to buy myself, with my own money, so I needed to work.
And working for something I wanted landed me a good paying and fun job.

>>16291159
I don't ride motorcycles. My parents always said they weren't safe and I think I'm a little old to learn. He has dyslexia, ADHD but really it just means he doesn't like learning from books and makes him look a little slow to people who don't realise. He does have a temper though, and the ugly box is one of the things that sets him off.

>>16291168
>ADHD
>on a bike

If this was real I would say RIP him.

>>16291167
You should give them something in case they're emotionally weak and can barely stay out of clinical depression without some sort of hobby.

A cheap shitbike in addition to a car/bus pass they bought themselves is a something, especially if you refuse to pay for maintenance and just give them tools for christmas.

>>16291168
The I hope you consult his parents as to how they wish to bury him.

This has to be bait.

You mean they are like me?

Don't give them shit. They'll figure out something.

Also public transport cards ar given to students by the state and cars are way too expensive. No need to givr them a bike, because they can't afford it. You ever tried paying €1,5/L without a job?

>>16291187
1.5 what?

Speak American, digiorno.

>>16291185
Ha, and who is this wannabe?

>>16291165
But it's broken.

>>16291193
What are you talking about? Of course it's not, I can ride it right now.

>>16291156
every motorcycle study that accounted for it has supported the hypothesis that dirt riders crash less

they get more intense practice doing pretty much everything integral to riding but leaning in an environment that tolerates crashes and allows riders to experiment and develop more confidence

dirt is the unofficial track day of all motorcyclists. i'm sure if every street rider started doing track days before commuting, the difference wouldn't exist, but they don't.

>>16291204
I think it's mainly due to the fact that they don't panic when their tires of sliding since it's one of the first things you need to account for when riding a dirtsquirter

>>16291190
That's $6 per gallon, Cletus.

>>16291195
In limp mode.

Because it's broken.

>>16291208
And later, learn to control it.

>>16291212
I see you're just being a dumby

>>16291208
And just have more motorcycle experience in general, since you can and usually do dirtbikes before you hit puberty but can't ride streetbikes until your teens

>>16291204
i imagine that because dirt riders dont have insurance or report the incident these numbers are not accurate. and you can "crash" your bike a million times in the dirt but one crash on road can total it

>>16291222
if dirt riders had to report their crashes they would crash the most, because dirt, but on the street they either almost never crash or don't need to report it because unbreakable dual-sports

also there's the "crashing to learn how not to crash" thing

>>16291224
I see you also have special needs, what water cooled i4 did you start on?

>>16291226

>>16291222
I see you're trying to disprove the fact that dirtbike riders crash less on the streets by saying they crash more on the dirt.
You're ignoring the simple fact that these stats come from Street-only riders vs street with dirt backround on the street.
The case did not take into account offroad incidents because that was not what was being studied. I hope you understand. You're almost trying to say that street-only riders are better rider as a whole, which is exactly what the case disproves.

>>16291233
I think your the special needs won hear

What litre bike would you recommend for my 18 year old dog note must be suicide clutch and hand change

they are very very slow

why do motorbicles shift near redline but cartomobiles dont?

>>16291253
No torques

>>16291253
They don't if they're just cruising. It sounds like it because their redline is at like 15 000 and their shift is at like 6000 which is what econoboxes redline at.

If they're racing, then any vehicle is going to be in the upper RPM because that's where the power is.

>>16291253
tiny engines need to rev higher to make power

I hope that's not an I4.
