It is just the truth.
Most 250cc bikes make around 40hp.
KTM's are nearly making 45.

>settling for 450s

>>16397308
>tfw two 450 engines with their gearboxes are still lighter than a z750 engine
450 would still eat the z750 until 150kmh too due to having a far superior power to weight ratio

>>16397293
yes but you also have to consider those aren't MX bikes. They're not made to squeeze as much power as possible out of a little engine

>>16397317
power to weight ratio is nothing on bikes because their acceleration is mainly limited by wheelieing. Weight distribution is what really matters. The Z750 would win even at low speed because dirt bikes wheelie too easily.

>>16397317
I'd also much rather ride 1000 kms on a Z750 than on a WR450

>>16397329
You would have to do 2 oil changes on the WR450 during that. KEK!

>>16397326
450's accelerate to 100kmh in 2.5 seconds with a good rider.

>>16397371
You would have to do 1 at 2000km actually.
not bad really considering the 900ml oil capacity, my road bike needs an oil change every 5000km with a 3.8 litre oil capacity.

>>16397329
Is it because you are too unfit to ride a wr450?
You can just say you are fat anon, we won't judge you.

>>16397479
Even then it wouldn't reach 100km/h in 2.5s. That is an average acceleration of 11.1m/s/s. The acceleration due to gravity near earth's surface is only 9.8m/s/s.

>>16397514
Yeah but both are less powerful than a bike that has an engine 100cc smaller in capacity (what if i told you both companies actually limit the power to below 52 because they believe more than that simply is not usable on an mx track for most people)

>>16397522
well, then you ride them off a steep hill

>>16397550
funny part is honda dirt bikes aren't even reliable

>>16397378
hell no, they just wheelie too much. You would need to be sitting backwards on the front mudguard to get the weight far enough forward for the wheelie to not be a problem.

That is true, euro bikes in general are on a different level completely compared to Japanese bikes, Yamaha are the only Japanese bikes that can even come close to starting to compete with them but they still arent actually included in any serious comparisons.

So this a honda thread now?!?!?

>>16397572
yes it looks like yamaha is giving it more an effort to compete in enduro too. the new yz250fx and yz450fx are looking like good contenders. at least better than the other 3 jap enduros

It's the same for streetbikes too now. I really like the japs but they've basically been caught up to in reliability and surpassed in performance.

no, the RX is new. Not the same as CRF450X. Looks like it is 450R power with enduro suspension and gearbox.

I have doubts it will be better than the Husky, KTM, Sherco, BETA and GasGas 300's off the bat.
They have been continuing to build on 2 stroke technology for years where all the japanese companies stopped over a decade ago.

I doubt it, slide control means they've pulled the pin and are putting their proprietary race TCS systems on it which was always the best. I already know it's gonna be a bit down on power (189 hp vs the 199 hp of the competition) but it weighs 195 kg.

195 kg, that's as light as some 600s (the kawa 636) and it means with a new pipe and getting rid of some emissions shit we're gonna be down near 190.

My expectations are reviews say it's a "little down on power compared to the s1000rr and R1" but it turns like it's on rails, and I'll be right when that happens.

I am not a honda fan by any stretch of the imagination, this new CBR is the only thing I've seen them do this entire century I like but you can trust me on this one, it's gonna be the best handling 1000 in history.

>>16397659
totally sure, the S1000RR flounders in most racing for a reason, chassis wise they are not very well set up they just have a rocketship engine.

English plox

Are cruisers as /comfy/ as they're cracked up to be? Should I just get a gay little standard for slow (gay) relaxing rides?

>>16397941
with the bike off, put it in gear, and try to disengage the clutch so you can roll around. and compare that to rolling in neutral. it should have no more resistance to rolling with the lever pulled than in neutral. otherwise there is clutch drag, and the lever should be tightened (spread apart) so the clutch fully disengages.

>>16397944
Depends on which cruiser and how your built honestly. I suggest go sit on a bunch and see which you like the best.

>>16397943
Oh my bad, my basement is conditioned with radiant floor heating just not finished. I have an A frame porch that has French doors underneath so it's easy to drive the bike into for New York winters.

this is wrong. most bikes will have a little to quite a bit more drag when in gear with the clutch in, no matter how it's adjusted.

nobikes never understand

its just part of having a wet clutch, the oil provides some friction when the plates are decompressed, the colder the oil the harder it is to slip.

>>16397960
This.

Oil still causes slight friction. Its easier to push a bike in neutral than it is in gear with the clutch pulled in.

>>16398997

It's one of the better 80's middleweight bikes. If an 80's middleweight is something you want, this would be one to get.

>>16396963
You can exchange 3 and 4.

Manufacturers just recommend 4 because it's better, not because it's essential. Using 3 just brings your brakes back a few years. Germans would doubtlessly pass a car using 3 instead of changing it out for 4 if it was recommended by the manufacturer, because, you know, germans are colossal idiots

Despite being stereotyped as intelligent, they make britons look like geniuses. The reason? The smart germans were actually Jews.

In the end, I want a 600-750cc bike, which is a sport standard. I wanna go up in size, but not up in price. In Onterrible's insurance, the 600 is in a lower bracket than the 650. It also depends on the value of the bike. Radians aren't worth anything now, so that's good for me.
Is there anything I should be worrying about? Other than a low top speed and lots of wind all over me, all the time?

one of the tests for my license was coming into a corner as fast as you possibly could and at a random point the instructor held up a red sign and you had to come to a complete stop before you would have hit him

>>16399468
They teach you to just straighten out ASAP and pray instead of shedding speed while leaned. That's it. Anything else is in another course.

It's something you have to figure out yourself (after a hektik skid or two)

>>16399483
Probably should have at least owned a dirt bike for a year before getting a road bike. the skills all transfer

People citing 250cc bikes with 40+hp are typically citing MW/enduro race bikes. They are not comparable to a 250cc street bike in power. That 250cc street bike has to go thousands of miles without an oil change, valve adjustment, or top end rebuild. MX/enduro bikes go a matter of 10s of hours between oil changes, and valve adjustments and they need top end rebuilds constantly if used to put any significant amount of miles.

Then there are the plated Euro MX/enduro bikes which have all the shitty maintenance of the MX/enduro race bikes, they just have the minimum requisites to get plated.
They are useless on the road for anything other than connecting trails on the slab.

tl;dr. Know what you're looking at. 250cc road bikes do not make 40hp+
if you see a 40hp+ 250cc bike it's almost guaranteed to be a race only MX/enduro bike, a 2 joke, or a barely legal race MX/enduro bike.

>>16399544
But if they have the ability then why not give them like 35 hp instead of 19? It would allow beginners to keep their first bike a lot longer and they would be a lot more fun to cruise desu.

I can stand up flat footed while straddling it and have a solid 2-3 inches of space between my ass and the seat.

If I was two inches shorter the seat height would be no issue at all unless I had baby legs.

Maybe you just have babby legs anon?

that's how people lock up the rear doing fuck all and cause themselves to crash doing nothing because they think they're only allowed to use the rear brake mid turn from some shit they read online.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVvkSQmqm3M

You can use the front brake to slow down mid lean no problems just don't be a nutjob on the thing. The BEST thing to do, is to stand the bike up a bit (lean it a bit away from you too if you want) and hit the brakes harder to scrub off as much speed as possible while the bike is slightly upright then turn the bike back into the corner before you run wide.

The bike really does brake the most effectively when it's upright but racers will brake nearly all the way to the apex of the corner, you just have to remember that if you're at 50% lean angle you can only use 50% brakes, while if you're at 0% lean angle you can use 100% brakes etc.

There's only so much load a tyre can take.

>>16399675
Being two inches taller than the ideal height (6'2") is worse than being two inches shorter than the ideal height.

At least if you are 6' tall you are taller than average but don't look like a gangly alien with no muscle mass like people who are 6'4" do.

>>16399687
this.

The "Rear brake in turns" bullshit comes from retards misunderstanding what "trail braking" is.

Trail braking is braking into the turn and easing off the brakes as you ease into the lean reaching zero braking and full lean before apex before getting on the gas for the exit.

"Trail braking" does not mean using the rear brake exlcusivly mid turn.

If you are going to brake in a turn it is much better to use the front priarily. Not only does the front providde more grip, but if you overdo it the worst that can happen is it washes out and you low side. Suck but better than the alternative. Overdoing it with the rear brake in a turn will turn into a highside real fast and fuck you and your bike up substantially.

Soi number 4 in Nana Plaza, Bangkok. Right off the Nana BTS stop.
Ladybois and ladygirls actually attack you and try to drag you off to do unmentionable things there if you're western and look like you have money.

>>16399862
I rented a MSX125 for about a week there. Was all I needed to know I didn't want a Grom as a fuckaround bike.
When i got home i bought a WR250R as a fuckaround bike instead.

>>16399874
Are they underaged? Because thats the whole reason im doing this trip

>>16399866
Only by nationality.

>>16399879

>>16399874

It's too heavy for it's size, too slow to be useful, and the suspension is pretty shit for someone my size.

Figured I wanted something freeway capable, semi-decent amount of power, and with some real suspension I could fuck around with on or off road.

Not me sadly.

An ex of mine came back into my life and made me realize she was the one that got away. We dated, and ended up splitting because I picked up a second job while going to school and she started a Nursing program. In short, life got in the way. I miss her right now and I'm half a bottle of whiskey in. I want her back, but she's turned into a career only woman now and has no time for me.

GIVE ME THE NUMBERS

based on past experience with bikes like this - i would not ride it

>>16400034
Nah, he's a good lad on a good bike.
What about you, enjoying all the fairing?

>>16400035
Whatever hypocrite

>>16397597
Honda makes a truly reliable bike every now and then, including the non-engine parts (VFR/VTR bois and their fried r/rs can put their odometers away now) but most of their motorcycles are completely average, especially the smaller displacements

Also don't forget the LINKED BRAKES

If you want your bike, the whole bike, to last forever, buy a yamaha.

For an inline 6, I'm surprised how compact they were able to keep it. It doesn't feel that heavy, although it is. But I used to ride heavier bikes with less guts, so maybe that why.

>>16400069
I have all day because its the weekend and I'm not doing anything

>>16400074
You didn't answer my question.

>>16400070
Always wondered how inline 6 acted at low revs... Got a bit of pull already or you have to rev it ? (Compared to a flat if you ever tried one)

>>16400070
Forgot : got any plans to change your exhausts?
They're pretty gross desu.
