>Love with the motorcycle becomes difficult. The motorcycle becomes pregnant with Travis’s child. One of the best scenes is how Travis will deal with additional mouth to feed. What will Travis’s motorcycle/human hybrid looks like plagues his miniscule little mind. America’s love of the highway becomes Travis’s love of his vagina-wielding motorcycle. Eventually the book becomes a mature meditation on how one man, previously in a biker gang, settles down with his fuckable motorcycle and raises a family.

>>16387497
clutches can last a long time. my last bike called for the clutch plates to be inspected after 36,000 miles. they were too thin, so i replaced them with an upgraded kit with about $120. not as expensive as i thought, and i definitely didin't mind abusing it. it's a component that is meant to be worn out. just check the plates here and there if you're doing a lot of abuse to them.

>>16387518
My clutch plates for my 250 lasted 91,000km lol

>>16387542
the plates are under a lot less torque and have looser springs. i doubt you abused your clutch with a lot of siq clutch ups and launches.

>>16387558
Granted, but it was ridden by a big fat fuck dragging everyone off at every chance at 12k.

That said, had to do my XR400 after 5,000k's. Poor thing.

i don't think anyone kept making gear driven cams after that because modern chain systems improved significantly in accuracy and reliability while being lighter and cheaper to manufacture

it's dated tech only good for guaranteeing a small portion of a dated poorfag bike's reliability

>>16387821
Believe it or not, for its weight a drz400 engine is more high performance than a vfr800 engine.
that is why it has gear driven cams.

the DRZ is complete fucking garbage - the toyota corolla of dual sports. it's what you get when you don't know what your'e doing it don't want to do your research. it's reliable enough, fast enough, comfy enough, cheap enough, but not the best at everything. it lives on hearsay and brand loyalty.

Its fans, pure brand loyalists, consider machines that are better all around to be off-brand and cherry pick issues when confronted with how superior everything is to the DRZ (ignoring the DRZ's own cherry pickable once-in-100k-miles issues)

What is a safe rpm to hold a DT125 two stroke at for riding on the road or how should I be riding it?

>>16387920
You should be revving the engine every so often then letting off the throttle otherwise you will melt the piston.
2 strokes store fuel in the bottom end of the engine before it is used and at full rpm it has hardly any fuel cooling/lubricating the bottom end and it results in a failure.

WR250R is street legal from the factory.

WR250F is not plated from the factory and cannot be plated in many states. WR250R is plated in 50 states from the factory.

>>16387947
WR250F has like 10 hour service intervals for oil and like 20 hours for valve checks. And it would need a rebuild at 100-150 hours.

A WR250R has 3000 mile oil changes, and 26,000 mile valve check intervals. They will keep on chugging for 100,000 miles plus.

That is an order of magnitude more maintenance for a WR250F.

They are different bikes for different uses.

A WR250R makes for a decent offroad bike and a fantastic road bike.

>>16388066
Acceleration matters more than top speed. the ninja is a SPORT bike. babbies first track baiku, sure, but a terrible first road baiku. I would actually recommend a metric cruiser to new riders because they normally combine slowness with enough clearance to lean a bit.

Horsepower is actually a pretty solid metric by which to limit the performance of a bike a rider is able to use.

Much better than using displacement.

>>16388090
There are a shit-tonne slower bikes than a ninja 250. Even my old GSF250 could hit 100km/h in just over 5s, quicker than a DC2 integra and despite /o/'s penchant for kekking out ricers, they're not exactly entry level either.
Cruisers are just dangerous though. Terrible geometry, terrible suspension and no up and go to mingle with traffic.
>>16388084
As above.
Displacement is a terrible measure, power to weight much better. There will be no true and logical guide.

>start riding dirt
lol, not if you want to be a good rider.. dirtbikes are just toys

>>16388117
You can go fast all you want, but where motorcycles kill is when turning, no matter how fast or how slow you go. The way the design of the motorcycle accomodates cornering affects is danger more than anything.

From twitchy supersports to american cruisers that will lever themselves off the road at modest lean angles, cornering matters more than how fast you can get there. Throttle control isn't hard, cornering is. Period.

The only way to determine how user friendly a motorcycle actually is requires riding it though, and governments are usually too strung out to even try to care about that

The american approach, "we have no idea if this is a good idea, but your parents and friends probably told you it was deadly" is the best

>>16388117
>Horsepower only
No.
Weight is also a massive influence, most accidents are a result of coming into corners too hot/crossing the center.

Who am I kidding, I'm off.

>>16388090

Anyone who thinks a ninja toofiddy is too fast for a first bike is a moron. They are slow as shit.

A 650 twin is an ideal starter bike. Enough power to keep you interested but mild mannered enough to not kill a newbie.

Anyone who says otherwise is a cunt who lives in some statist shithole.

>>16388131
>>16388132

The speed at which you enter a corner is completely within control of the rider.

How fast they good to that speed is what catches new riders out. Throttle control of a powerful bike in a corner also catches new riders out.

Learning proper throttle control is the #1 challenge for a new rider. Cornering at modest speeds in the beginning is easy.

>>16388144
your comparison makes 0 sense

>Put a seasoned dirt rider on the road and he's good to go.

Not him but dirt riding teaches throttle control and slide control like road riding simply can't.

Every single road rider stands to benefit from taking some time on a dirtbike and learning what it feels like to slide it around and recover. On the brakes and on the gas.

>>16388163
>Thinking they need to lean and get rid of those strips
In my experience it's people trying to show off by accelerating hard that get themselves into trouble the most. Most new riders are scared of learning, I've enver come across a new rider that was trying to scrub their strips just to show off. most of the time they are goosing it to show off and coming to a situation they didn't anticipate too hot.

>>16388164
>dirtbike and learning what it feels like to slide it around and recover
you dirtbikers are silly, I just need to throttle in the rain to loose the rear and slide around. happens more than enough but I guess that doesn't happen with your gutless bikes on road.

>>16388171
>I've enver come across a new rider that was trying to scrub their strips just to show off

there are enough people that think you MUST be able to get rid of your chickenstrips even if you're only ride for one week. Just part of the toxic motovlog community and kids that start riding because of it

>>16388157
Vtec vfr a shit

>>16388172
On road, even in the rain, the stakes are much higher trying to slide on a road bike in a turn. No body does that shit regularly.
If you claim to you need to post a webum as proof or you're full of shit.

On a dirt bike, sliding around is part of every single ride.

Learning to control a bike in a low traction situation with low stakes and at low speeds like on a dirt bike is just not possible on the road, period.

what the fuck is the point of sliding a bike in a straight line? How does that teach you anything about bike control, retard?

Sliding around turns and learning bike control when you lose traction in turns on the brakes and on the gas is a critical skill. A skill that is easily practiced on a dirtbike and not easily practiced on a road bike.

Except the bike reacts a lot different in each setting...
They're really very different styles of riding.

You can't and shouldn't expect a pure dirt or road rider to be exceptional when on the other surface. Sliding on the dirt is nothing like sliding on the road aside from a few fundamentals which can be experienced on the grass with just about any bike.

You could almost guarantee either the dirt rider trying to slide through road corners or the road rider trying to hang on to gripping the surface would both crash if they approach it like nothing was different.

It's not about translating skills, it's about knowing how to feel what the bike is doing and feeling out its reaction to your inputs. Learning how to learn.

Hey /dbt/ whats a great bike for an in the city DD? (A city with shit roads AND REALLY BAD TRAFFIC)
I currently own a ninja 650 which im replacing soon for other reasons, but daily driving It is a real pain considering the ride position , heat and so on.

I really liked the ducati scrambler , i found it comfortable when i sat on it and give scramblers are based off dirt bikes ( or so ive been led to believe) it should do a bit better on trash roads, also i believe its considerably lighter.
Would this be a good replacemet? Id also still like the ability to go out of the city into twisties , but this is not the primary focus.

And i know that /dbt/ thinks scramblers are for beta cucks , and considering how theyre marketed k cant blame you, but do you have other suggestions?

Has anyone here ridden an nm4? How did you cope with the embarassment?

Sure. Most cruisers I don't have those ape hangers though. Or are all flat black with no chrome.
Mostly niggers in clubs around here with um

I've never ever met a girl in their 20s that would choose a cruiser if you park a generic sportbike right next to it

You could just simply move the fuel tank under the seat. Flip the engine 90 degrees. Have one cylinder between your legs keeping you warm and toasty and the other a safe distance off the ground. Makes perfect sense but autistic Germans would never get it because creativity.

DR650 has huge aftermarket, huge following, tons of easy mods, tank reliability and you can find a videotutorial for how to completly take it apart bit for bit, maintenance, mods, anything really. Also PDFs all over the internet with all kinds of information.

And for 4k you get a top notch one, best of the best, all mods done

Or get a stock xr650 and be better than fully modded DRs

>>16390068
