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. This 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.

Did you ever consider buying a quality helmet?
Maybe a Shoei?

I know with my Shoei wind noise is next to non existent, all you can hear is the engine.

>>16311843
It doesn't matter what helmet you have. Prolonged exposure to moderate noise levels is proven to damage your hearing.

if Yamaha built an electric Tri City they'd call it elec-Tri City

>>16311843
helmets dont produce noise. wind noise doesnt "sound" loud but is a higher pressure than engine noise. not sure why you keep bringing up engine noise, they are not the cause of hearing loss, the wind is. yes more expensive helmets are quieter than cheaper ones, but not able to prevent wind noise damage.

So what you are saying is you don't even listen to loud music because you are a little bitch?

By your logic i better not even yell ever again because that is over 85 decibels and capable of causing hearing damage.

Just stop being a little cry baby, they make robot ears for when people go deaf.

You are talking like we live in the 1800's or something and a little bit of hearing loss is actually life changing.

>>16311868
My engine is well over 85 decibels at highway speeds mate, so is yours, more than enough to cause hearing damage.

Wind noise is obviously lower than that if it can not be heard.

so if you have anything other than that helmet, don't own an electric bike or have that helmet and regularly go over 105 km/hr you are at risk for hearing damage.

Great.

Wear earplugs.

Webbikeworld:
>Evaluators wear correctly fitted, high quality ear plugs (even when evaluating motorcycle intercom systems).

Always protect your hearing when riding a motorcycle. See the wBW Earplug Reviews for more information on choosing and wearing earplugs.

How Do You Make A Helmet Quiet?

>Earplugs. If you don’t ride with them now, start doing so. Wind noise induced hearing loss is a real thing (I suffer from it) and sitting in such a high decibel environment for extended periods exacerbates fatigue. RideApart highly recommends Howard Leight Max Lite earplugs. Buy a box of 200 and stash extra pairs in all your pockets.

>>16312058
yeah I roll them up and push them deep enough to feel them bottom out so there's nothing sticking out past my ear at all. But as my ears wiggle around (especially bad if I get an itchy head and try to scratch it through the helmet so it pulls my scalp around) they get looser and stop doing as well.

>>16312072

>>16312963
We are all retarded here, no worries.

Also, I did say I was considering an r6 you know
The way they fucking crack when losing revs is awesome, and they scream like crazy

>>16312978
Weren't they more powerful a few years ago? I was looking at 2007 street triples and recall they had around 105 hp, and the FZ6 had 98 hp, did that change?

barbagallo looks like a death trap, I think it's a positive move so long as they fix it up and reopen it to bikes in the future with decent runoffs and safety improvements for bikes.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-15/mia-davies-unaware-of-barbagallo-raceway-safety-audit/8028224

>Opposition Sport spokesman Peter Watson told Parliament the independent report had identified a range of safety issues with the circuit, and concluded the track was unsafe for motorcycle racing.

Shutting it down for bikes was already recommended and was probably always gonna happen, the death just sped it up.

The road is dangerous you want a safe track guys.

I know this feel
my trx had uneven preload in the forks when I got it, plus the rear was jacked to like 9/10 clicks for god knows what reason. So it shook its head and was super skippy and light in the rear.

After setting the sag and changing the fork oil, oh my god man. It was like a revelation in plush, controlled riding. I could hoon down legit third world roads and just feel the suspension working furiously while I was barely fazed, yet there was zero porpoising. Nice.

Set your sag folks, it's quick, easy, and pays huge dividends.

1st step is to set your static sag

>>16313350

Wear pic related all the time. Not just passive noise cancelling earbuds, but play music though as well. Still perfectly aware of the sound of nearby vehicles, and aware of distant vehicles because I'm not retarded. Any rider with decent roadcraft knows about vehicles outside audible range anyway, over the noise of your own bike, wind etc.
The only thing I can't really hear is people talking to me at a regular volume. Can usually even carry on a dialogue since erry small talkin idiot says the same stupid shit anyway.

Hey CJ. Liked the video mate :)

There's going to be another one soon because bike night is tomorrow.

I'm gone for the next 8 weeks, I leave tomorrow morning. I'll have no internet :(
I'll watch when I'm out of basic tho

I think it looks pretty sweet. Just need to do something with the engine. Just doesn't look right.
>>16314097
Is that really a deal breaker? I don't have any storage with my monster.

>>16314171
No unless you have a certificate.

>>16314211
can I print it myself?

>>16314227
Wouldn't be valid.

Anyone have experience buying used parts online? I'm thinking about this site called boonstra parts.

>>16314243
I rebuilt my bike using eBay.

Should I, dbt?

>>16314254
Forgive my ignorance. What is it. What do you want. Is it new or used. Price.

>>16314254
Also what is dbt. Could have the wrong idea altogether.

>>16314264
No I'm just an idiot. Sorry not accustomed to the acronyms.

well, it's a honda hornet 600 2007, the first year they were built, and I'm asking if I should buy it or if it is a shit bike

and dbt means daily bike thread, the thread you are in right now

>>16314282
Ah my bad. For almost being ten years old the appearance of the bike aged very well. How many miles and how much is the seller expecting.

>>16314090
>no front
>no rear
It's garbage.

I'm not looking at a specific bike yet, but the general price here is around 4500€ with ABS and 4000€ without ABS, all around 20.000 kms

I really like the exhaust design, but what I don't like are the joined brakes the bike has

also, it has 102 hp compared to it's rivals, which is pretty cool

where will my stinky poo in loo passenger sit?

4000-4500 for a 2007-2008 Hornet is too much. You can buy a middle weight naked from 2010-2011 with that money, 2012-2013 even if you consider a Bandit or a XJ6.

Sub 4000 would ideal. 3500 okay depending on the state of the bike, a good deal is near 3000.

Try avoiding dealerships, they overcharge.

Although I'm in New York I bought my 2012 monster 796 for 5500 this summer with 3700 miles on it. I know it's not an apples to apples comparison but that price range seems a bit high.

>>16314231
if my brother prints it?

>>16314312
it might just be the season or that I live in a rather rich part of germany, but almost all late 2000s sportbike derived nakeds (FZ6, GSR600, Z750) with ABS and relatively low miles seem to be around that price. I was also considering a street triple, but my bank account laughed me in the face

>bandit or XJ6
I really don't want a sub 95hp inline 4 bike, maybe a V2 or I3 with a bit less, but not an I4

>>16314307
who gives a fuck about passengers seriously

>>16314342
indians, they have to fit their whole family and their pet goat on there, if the bike is already made there

>>16314351
But KTM is Austrian and all but the beginner bikes are made there.

>>16314369
I know, but that honestly killed their reputation. Everytime I see a KTM now, I'm disappointed they outsourced their production to fucking indians of all, just to get a quick buck

Is the KTM Duke 390 a good first motorcycle?

It's made in India and that concerns me because I immediately think of low quality stuff...

>>16314384
Even jap manufacturers produce their beginner meme bikes in Chinkshit countries.

I'd ride it.

>>16314390
from what i've heard it's more maintenance intensive and runs a bit hot, but besides that it's a good bike.

>get called a pussy if you put your bike away in the winter or don't ride in all weather
> get called a retard for riding bike and exposing it to corrosion when there is salt and sand down on all the roads
I'm not sure which one I should feel worse about

>>16314450
you could just stop caring about what other people think of you and do whatever you like to do.

>>16314426
I want to like it but I just can't. Maybe if it used a different windshield.

>>16314442
its kinda obvious that its just a body kit for the MT09 (including the bent swingarm thats supposed to frame the exhaust) and i doubt those extra 3500 bucks are justified but fuck me if it isnt pretty to look at.

>>16314453
But what if he likes to ask other people for their opinions?

>>16314458
those cafe racer fairings are whats perfect, the exhaust is what urks me.

>>16314426
Isn't that just an xsr900 with a windshield?

>>16314453
>stop caring about what people think
What? What would even be the point of owning a motorcycle?

For 4k i got the Shiver
750cc v2 80hp (debatable)
Would recommend, but would at the same time suggest the jap knockoff sv650

>>16314426
Any downsides to it?
