I wish there could be different generals for dirt bikes

>>16577659
the drz400sm isn't a dirt bike though

it's a pure-bred street/carving machine

>>16577659
Just needs to be one for suzuki.
No one else starts shit like suzuki fags

I wonder if my 4 year old could sit still enough for a ride around the block.
I think he would bail on the first corner though.

That would look pretty silly.

Reminder that if a bike is 4 stroke and has less than 3 cylinders it's worthless.

No reason you can't start one, anon. That's what that [Start a New Thread] link is for

Hey /dbt/,
Now that Victory and EBR have both folded which bike do you think will devalue faster to the point you can buy the model for under $5000?

I like the 1190SX but I figure the Octanes are more widespread and more likely do be found in a few years.

Also how much longer until Indian pulls a Victory and teases us with something awesome then delivers a re-bagged model instead?

http://chambana.craigslist.org/mcy/5980984653.html
It's no dual sport like I wanted, but....

>>16578063
>http://chambana.craigslist.org/mcy/5980984653.html

Dead battery and valve adjustment aren't too much of a problem. A burnt valve can be expensive.

>>16578063

>>16578016
Youre part of the problem

>>16578095

Yeah, not too confident in that burnt valve. Could be other reasons why it doesn't run.
Good point. Nope.jpg

>>16578063
>It's no dual sport like I wanted
>It's not what I wanted

>>16578122
but it's cheap, then again prob not in the long run

>>16578056
aren't they more likely to become collectibles and increase in price though? (Depends on how many were produced and sold I guess).

Indian will probably just do more of the same though since Polaris' "innovative" stuff (slingshot) failed pretty hard.

How much should I spend on my first helmet if I'm a poorfag?

>>16578241
Enough that it fits you correctly and is DOT and Ece certified.

>>16578299
BiLT is okay? Always heard that it's not very good.

>>16578241

>>16578241

>>16577686
Pretty sure fear would make them cling onto you like a vice. But your kid might be retarded.

>>16578312
Mine was fine, although I never crashed in it.

>>16578370
How can you say it's fine, then?

>>16578379
Because it made a fine helmet. I don't see a bunch of reports of people dying because their Bilt helmet didn't protect them either. In fact most Bilt gear I've had has been fine except the gloves. Their gloves are garbage

>>16578404
>>16578379
The cheap ones are only dot certified. the more expesive ones have ece and dot.

That's not necessarily price dependent. My old HJC helmet which was $140 new is snell certified.

>>16578404
A helmet is fine only when it protects you. All the rest is a plus.

>>16578452
idk I've had helmets give me hearing damage because they don't block wind noise very well.

>>16578452
So I shouldn't buy any helmet I haven't crashed in? Otherwise I have no clue if it'll actually protect me or not, right?

>>16578450
I was talking about shitty bilt helmets. I also got a cheap hjc with snell when i got hit by a car and scraped my shoei.

>>16577872

If you want a dual sport, keep waiting for one. You'll be waaaay happier.

>>16578510
helmet tests are done at like 5mph

>>16578127
EBR will probably drop off for a few years then start climbing. I can't see victorys being worth anything until they're a hundred years old or something.

Plenty of men can afford new sumos. Become a man, afford manly toys.

Bilt helmets are made by MHR, which are also sold in the US as LS2. Other than once case of quality fade in 2012, they've been OK.

>>16578540
Unfortunately, to understand why helmets are tested the way they are, you need to have some understanding of metrology, which is impossible to explain to anyone who likes to go around saying that helmets are only tested at 5MPH.

I've bought a suit, several jackets, and a pair of pants. The only trouble I've had is fit... You need to know your size, pick stuff where the ad gives a good idea of how it will fit, and be prepared to put the stuff back up on Flea-bay if it doesn't fit.

This might (read: is) be a retarded question but I'm doing custom work on my bike and am the forks+caliper mounts+calipers are specified for a 298mm diameter brake rotor, would I be able to make it work with a 300mm rotor or would that require tweaking/modifications? I've trawled the rest of the internet and can't really seem to find a real answer.

If anyone could answer this I'd really appreciate it

I think you should be fine with a 1mm extra for clearance.

Yesterday I found a parking lot in an industrial park with brand new pristine asphalt that was large and open enough with the parking stall/islands in the middle. So I started bonding with my supermoto, really exploring the handling for the first time in the 2 months since I got it. Have a new Avon Trailrider on the rear, still running the old worn Pilot Power front tire till I get a new front wheel to put the new front Trailrider on, so took some time building confidence in the front end.

Jesus Christ it's a lot of fun. Takes some getting used to coming from sport bikes. Trusting such a tall top heavy bike leaning way over and trusting the tires was the biggest challenge.

After about an hour of rounding a small two corner circuit I was getting really confident. Started out cruising it in second at lower rpm. By the end I was at the top of second bounching off the limiter out of the turns, scraping pegs.

Then I started feeling the rear end break loose on corner exits as I got on the power sooner and sooner. Started getting comfortable sliding it on power. That was probably the most fun I've had on a motorcycle in a long time.

After about two hours I finally stuffed it, got a little too happy on the gas coming out of one of the turns and low sided at about 25mph. I half expected to do it knowing how much I was pushing my limits. Bike slid a bit and tweaked the brake level/master cylinder. I messed up a pair of pants. No real damage done. By this time it was after dark so I packed it up and went home.

Broke off one of the pinch bolts tightening up the master cylinder again... gotta get a replacement. Going to run by the Home Depot in the morning to get the bolt then go hit that parking lot again for a couple hours.

Went back today and hit it again. Had more fun. Can't wait till we get mroe daylight so I can start riding after work again.

about 50 pounds heavier, 20 less HP.

Would be okay because you're probably not a superhero on the bike but there's always the option of like say, fitting some risers to an old cbr600rr or something.

If you're not planning on doing a track day you'd probably not miss the advantages of the 600RR.

>>16579889
older sportbikes have slightly less aggressive riding positions. So if you don't mind the slight inconvenience of old bikes you might prefer a 99-03 ZX6R/R6/GSXR or any CBR600F4/F4i.

>>16580047
The F4i is only marginally slower and heavier and has fucktons of aftermarket so you can easily get a set of bar risers. It may cost a couple hundred for the setup but you will save enough vs the newer bikes to make up for that and more. They're reliable as hell too so I wouldn't even worry about the age unless it looks all beat up.

I found a $600 bike I want as a side project, but currently the brakes on it don't work, so I can't drive out with a friend, ride it back and have my friend drive my car home. I don't have a truck to move it on, and it's about 40 minutes away from my house. Are there any other options? Would renting a moving truck work? Are there strap mounts in a moving truck?

>>16580088
As someone who owns a 2006 F4i, this guy gets it. see if you can find one nearby in good shape. I got mine in September after wrecking my Yamaha in an oil spill and it almost makes me glad I totaled my old bike so I could get the F4i, everything about it is perfect to me.

had both. sold the 17s because my dual sport tires worked just fine on road and were a hundred times better off road. Not exactly a slowfag either.

On a kart track it absolutely makes sense to get the 17" wheels with super sticky tires. On the street, not so much. You have to ride super hard to get to the limit of even cheap 80/20 dual sport tires. You are vastly underestimating them.

Pic related, my rear tire from my first track day on the supermoto. If you aren't making your tires look like this on a regular basis you're wasting your money (which is why I got rid of them).

>but honestly an SV650 or something can be even better depending on the roads you ride.

I'm not sure what roads they would be, it's true the SV has a great power delivery and stock gearing for road/twisties riding but go -1/+2 on the 600 and you'll have a better machine for it overall, the suspension especially on a real sport machine makes a big difference over rougher stuff, smooth not a big deal and -1/+2 just "fixes" 600s to me.

I guess it really depends on the intentions of the rider but I'd rather a 600 in most situations.

Shredded the CVT belt on my 50cc scooter today, lol. Spares are only $15 bucks and I was carrying one, but it was still frustrating pulling the damn thing apart on the side of the road.
Side note, I got 4K miles from this $7 belt, usually I get like 1500-2k from them.

>>16580165
why is it better than the klx or crf though?

>>16580203
cause they're damn expensive compared to wr,crf,klx's

>>16580213
congratulations. you're using a supermoto to actually take turns. All I'm saying is for the vast majority of people it won't make a single bit of difference on the road. Most people just buy a supermoto to go pull shitty wheelies through the city.
He even said babby's first supermoto so I don't think he'll be riding too hard anyway.

>>16580219
Fascinating

>>16580192
Where I lived when I had an SV650, a lot of the roads were super tight and twisty and the upright naked SV with handlebars was much better to whip around, especially being lighter than most 600's. Suspension honestly wasn't that big of a deal to me. It's not great, but if you really care, springs and cartridge emulators are cheap. I wasn't doing any track days on it though.

If he wants a supermoto there is no point buying a dual sport. Even if you aren't going super hard, it will be easier to go faster on actually good tires and with a big brake up front.

A vast majority of people buy bikes they can't use to the fullest anyway so no point sperging out over it

>>16580222
way more power, fuel injected, 6 speed, best suspension and chassis, can fit better tires than the KLX

>>16580244
Its just the front fairing, it really looks out of place. The rest of the bike looks great.
I think ill end up with one of these though. After I look at the f4i a bit more.

>>16580230
He said he's new, not that he's poor. Dirt bikes don't devalue by 50% if you scratch them like a sport bike does so I wouldn't consider that a problem for a new rider.

And when buying used sometimes you can even find EXCs cheaper. At least in my area used japanese bikes are more expensive. In order of average price in the used market from highest to lowest in my area (just including bikes relevant for supermoto use);

>especially being lighter than most 600

I don't think SVs are lighter than any 600s, maybe the N would but the S is about 198 kg wet and most 600s hover around the high 180s, gsx-r600 is 187 kg, cbr600rr is around 185 kg wet, I don't imagine there's 13 kg in a fairing but it's possible.

>a lot of the roads were super tight and twisty

I think certain 600s would have an advantage there too, the cbr600rr for example has a 51 mm shorter wheelbase than the SV (which is closer to a 1000s geometry).

I guess it depends on whether you're used to clip ons and such or not but yeah (confidence is everything I know), I mean I get it, the SV is a lovely bike to ride, very nice planted handling but I'm just not sure about "even better" than a 600 up a tight twisty road, maybe I'm just ready for a change and I'll miss it once I swap up, who knows.

Why did you ask me why I liked the 650 more if you're just going to argue with my answer? An SV650 is 30 lbs lighter than a CBR600RR, I also had the naked one which I said in the previous post (it has handlebars), and I'm not sure what geometry figures you're looking at, but the SV was sure as hell a lot more eager to get through those corners than most other bikes I've rode.

I went from a 600 to a 650, riding the same roads. thought I would be disappointed by losing 1/3 of my hp, but the torque and lightness of the SV made up for it and more.

I can tell a difference in the way it handles. I can even tell my dual sport tires are starting to give in if I pick up the pace but most people will never push it on the street anyway. If you're street rossi then good for you, just don't act like you're a majority by any standard.

>>16580339
I'm not acting anything, the guy asked about supermotos and you started sperging out about dual sports being better and supermotos being "a meme"

>>16580349
Thats because they are a meme
Dualsports are better in every category

>>16580352
Except actually being good on paved surfaces

>>16580355
>nobikes actually believe this

>>16580349
yes. I gave him some suggestions of supermotos like he asked then gave my opinion on the category as a whole since it may or may not be relevant to his interests. Thank you for sperging about how 17" wheels are absolutely necessary for this person you do not know and has given you little information.

>>16580349
>he doesn't think supermotos are a meme
they are the memeist bikes in existance, only nobikes and MotoVloggers like them.

has anyone updated that /dbt/ map?

>>16580363
>Thank you for sperging about how 17" wheels are absolutely necessary for this person you do not know and has given you little information.

Little information other than he wanted a supermoto, you mean?

>>16580375
yes that is what I mean. some people are meme'd into thinking they want a supermoto when they really want a dual sport.

>"meme" now means anything I don't agree with

reddit pls go

2009 Suzuki GS500F

The opposite is also true

meme means something overhyped because of the way it is presented rather than the actual actual qualities of it.
you must be new here if you aren't familiar with memebikes

>>16580387
10/10 stunt if you could actually do it

>>16580385
>>16580378
wew lads I just want to carve the slow one-lane twisties near me and didn't know of any entry level supermotos besides The Bike That Shall Not Be Named

thx for the recommendations tho

>>16580389
>doesn't know what a meme actually is

"meme" on 4chan p much means "something I don't like"

this is not the same thing as e.g. the Selfish Gene definition

>>16580406
it does now that we've reached a point where memes are mainstream culture and nobody on 4chan has been here long enough to remember when memes were retarded esoteric shit that wasn't even funny to anyone that wasn't basically autistic

>>16580380
mine was listed about the same. i paid $2700 USD for my '08 GS500

ride it first obviously and talk him down a few hundred. good hunting

>>16580397
just from my experience...
>you can't really crank the bike over too hard in one lane twisties because they're all blind corners and you have to be prepared for people on the wrong side of the road right away
>dirt bikes are no better for this than street bikes
Yet as I said before: if you want the supermoto then get one, they're fine bikes. Just that the advantages may be marginal if any compared to other bikes or other setups.

>>16580379

>meme arrows

>>16580418
fair. and it's not all one-lane, though it's all pretty tight on a 650 that I don't want to drop. I also like the idea of having another wheelset for trail riding.

>>16580416
>>16580380
Forgot to mention, I'm in Aus so theres already some markup, but to me it seems like a solid price.

>>16580418
>you have to be prepared for people on the wrong side of the road right away
another situation where supermoto > dualsport :^)

>>16580429
Make sure you do research into whatever bike you decide on first, some bikes are easier to swap wheels on than others, and wheels can be easier to find/cheaper as well

also usually easier to get a bike with dirt wheels and swap to supermoto wheels than the other way around because you can just by a caliper relocator

>>16580435
Nobikes believe this

>>16580380

Enjoy being fat and slow

k.
The DRZ is relatively good (not great) and cheap and easy.
The EXC is great but takes a bit more time and money to maintain.
The WR450 is probably about on par with the EXC except only has a 5 speed transmission.

>smaller wheel diameter makes it possible to turn into a ghost for a second to travel through a lane-crossing car

>>16580457
Smaller wheel diameter and increased width allow you to actually put good tires on your bike and stop faster as well as make tighter turns and quicker changes in direction than 21" wheel with a skinny as fuck half-ass enduro tire on the front

honestly have you ever rode a motorcycle before?

>>16580453
I get called nobike all the time. And i have 4 bikes.
Not my fault suzuki fags are dumb

>>16580453

Ok

>>16580020
>What would be the cost of a fun cheap used bike?
Around $2,000 for a used bike like a Ninja 500/GS500/SV650 from the early 2000's
>And how much would you say on average you spend on insurance/gas/maintenance
Too many variables for insurance. Not nearly as much as a car though. Gas is cheap, I don't even think about it. I pay $4 to fill up. If you get the right bike, maintenance is easy to do yourself. Get some tools, a manual, and some fluids. I commute on a 90's dual sport and have never taken it to a shop. It just werks.

I like mtn biking/cycling but nice bikes are upwards of $1,000 for an uncomfortable seat attached to some aluminum tubes. Motorcycles will blow your mind.

it's a REALBAIK amirite?
