What drives me crazy is how some people that I ride with that most likely have no money can afford to do burn outs every red light. Tires are expensive. I put 4k on my bike from late August to October which is about the life span of my tires. Probably will have to change them twice next season.

Sorry, cant hear you over all these titles Honda has won in a motorsport that actually counts. Enjoy your backyard dirtbike kids adventure, while real men ride on the track,

>>16463897
I got my bike used at 3700 miles and I believe I changed the back one at around 4700 as the cords were showing. I didn't change the front but it was pretty bad. At 7800 miles not and I know I need to change the front. Probably should have just replaced both at the same time.

>>16463907
Motogp is nothing but spoiled brats riding around on daddys money.

Nothing about it is interesting because there are probably tens of thousands of riders that deserve to be there more but they never will be able to take part because of the retarded fuckaround involved with getting into road racing.

I know senpai. I've no idea how many kilometers the PO racked on my BMW's rear tire but since the tire is from 2012 and I rode 7000km on it myself... I'm gonna assume it went pretty far. I could stretch it even further but the bike rides awfully like this. If we're gonna ride, might as well do it right. MUH WALLET THO

I fail to see how the whole, "OP IS A FAGGOT" thing isn't incredibly homophobic and bigoted. I've stated this, then usually get an even more homophobic reply (shut up u fucking faggot) that gets a shit ton of upvotes.

I've heard the logic that it started on 4chan as an ironic thing, but I fail to see how calling somebody gay and a faggot in a negative context is anything but homophobic.

That's the thing, you have an Italian two stroke race replica, and these three words especially combined are the exact opposite of easy maintenance. So even for minor shit and the inevitable electrical gremlin, you'll definitely have to take it to a mechanic

There is literally no reason to buy a KTM over a Suzuki a Yamaha a Honda or a Kawasaki.

I'm changing my tires and I'm having trouble getting the new rubber on (michelin pr4). Tire is hot. Tire is lubed. It still won't go on past 2/3 of the way. I'm ripping the tire a bit trying to get it on. What am I doing wrong? Do you have any tips br/o/s?

TO REPLY WHEN SOMEONE MENTIONED XT
no its not

anyone recommend a really fun offroad/commuter? hear me out before hitting me with drz shit, i have specifics:

copes with 40-60m/h speeds easily, lightweight, decent range. if it doesnt look like complete shit (i.e: not a boting grey slab engine with an ugly frame and cheap looking plastic) even better (ktms and aprilias are my fave look, just for help).

for reference, so far, the ktm freeride 350 looks cool, and the montesa 4ride is fucking amazing (if it had more range) - the thing even has storage built in.

doesnt have to be solely trail bike, can be a supermoto, enduro, dual sport, i dont mind.

This thing is pretty tricked out from the get go. It's got jardine pipes, the highway bars and some decent factory specs.

It needs a carb rebuild for both carbs, as well as a fluid flush, new battery and the clutch needs to be bled.

I don't mind riding around town with the grill. Told her if she wanted to do a road trip on bikes she needs to get her license. I'd let her ride the vtx if she wanted. Maybe even buy her a Vulcan or shadow if she was serious.
She's in love with the scout though.

>>16464725
I probably should've specified this in my original post, I mean aesthetics in the classical sense of appreciating a work or object as complete sensory experience, not just the plebified 'it looks gud.' An example of non-visual aesthetic could be something that has parts that work in near flawless synchronicity or that feels good when you fire it up for a ride or that roars just the right way when you push it to its limits. An object having functional qualities doesn't exclude it from being aesthetic because those qualities are aesthetic in themselves.

That's a lot of bike for a beginner, heavy and very powerful, if you're looking for a sport tourer as a first look at the ninja 650 (the Ptwin one, not the i4 636) Suzuki DL650 or Kawasaki Versys, they're all cheap, reliable, comfortable on the highway.

If you're dead set on the Concors it's probably fine, those bikes are made to go nonstop, so 36,000 Km in 7 years is nothing.

Do companies charge by displacement? Like will a 650R commuter bike be more expensive to insure than a 600RR supersport?

Also, the Suzuki SV650 is the "Miata of the bike world", does that mean it's cheap to insure?

some dude on a 110 got run over by a truck at the secret spot last sunday. 2 minis were cruising and a truck passed them and turned left right in front of them, and ran over the guy and his bike. the truck got there like 60 seconds earlier and asked me if trucks were ok to offroad there. i said yeah trucks sometimes come and cops dont care. immediately i thought this was a mistake because trucks are gay and fuck up the spot more than anyone. then literally one minute later he ran someone over. oops.

I want to get a permanent security solution. I'm torn between a 14mm circular cross-section hardened Abus chain, or a 11mm hexagonal cross-section hardened Abus chain. Padlock will be the same Abus Granit top-end black thing.

Pic related is the 14mm hardened one, coming up next is the 11mm hardened hexagonal one.

Fully comprehensive insurance is already gonna be on the bike. I'd rather the bike doesn't get stolen since you'll never get enough money in the payout to buy the same bike in the same condition.

sand is easy, i can deal with all types of sand without issue. the snow up there was something else, ice with deep grooves and ruts under everything with super dry compact snow on top that broke away in weird patterns that would take the front tire out from under you without notice. its more akin to riding in streams since you cant really see whats trying to kill you.

>>16467213
No, it is generally less than the 6 laps even.

Go try and ride a dirt bike around an mx track at even cruising pace for 30 minutes and see if you think that is doable.

I might go up to 70km/43mph at some points but mostly under that.

>>16467371
i still wouldnt advise one, but if it makes your peepee tingle go get one.
they top out at about 60 so 40-45 is all the more you should sustain on them imo

Tiger 800 XCx. I would post the pic of them installed but it says it has an embedded file. Pretty much bought these as spares but I may use the stockers as spares if I like these

nogs tried to rob an open gun store a couple days ago, stupidity is limitless

>>16467375
The price is just so attractive.
I'll have to go see if I can test ride one.

>>16467388
They're the same price is normal bikes.

>>16467385
How did that end up for them?

People fail to see Harleys with all their chrome shenanigans and loud pipes save lives and you want to ride around on a bike that was originally designed for 9 year olds to learn how to ride a dirt bike?

>>16467391
As used bikes maybe.
>>16467393
Yes I do, if people fail to see harleys anyway then it shouldn't be too different.

>>16467410
Thats a good point.
People fail to see semi trucks, ask drop anon

>no lights
>ppl say can into trail and mx
wr250f
>speedo, headlight
>heavier
>weaker, costs 100 for gytr race ecu, 40hp
>more trail bike suspension

>>16467428
wr250f and grey wire mod.
then you get lights and a magic button.
and of course uncork it

>>16467410
>As used bikes maybe.

What else would you buy? I thought you were a noob.

>>16467438
wr250f + gytr ecu = yz250fx hp
i dont think the gray wire mod applies anymore? but either way, same thing. race map.
but the yz250fx is already powerful enough. and would only need a light an hr counter.

>>16467403
Hahahahahaha. So good.

>>16467449
Who needs an hour counter?

t. XR400

>>16467443
A new grom because they're cheap.

>>16467461
Again, not suitable as an only bike. Also you will get run over.

Get a 2t bruh. I think only the euros are making 2t trail bikes these days though

>>16467449
im looking at a cost perspective too since most of you guys are poor as fuck.
if you have the money to mod out the FX to your liking then go for it.
i believe the grey wire mod worked on all the carbed offroad WRs, but i haven't looked into it in ages

Just get the 250fx and throw a rec rego kit on it if you really want the lights.
hour counter is not needed on it either, you can see the hours when you plug the computer in.

otherwise if you want full rego get the wr250f as you can only get recreational registration on the fx.

>real bike owners NEVER ride to their workplace

>>16467488
Why? i ride my bike all the time if i feel like i might enjoy a ride after work.

>>16467497
Was a dig at people going "hurr garage it and it'll never be stolen" speed up a bit mate.

>>16467403
Old man was on point. That is proper "gun control."
When I was going to Embry-Riddle in Daytona, some guy tried to rob the Army Surplus store. Cool shop, by the way. The owner drew and blasted the assailant with a shotgun, police came and did an investigation, the owner got the glass replaced and carpet cleaned, and he was open for business again inside two weeks, if that.
