How's the wind noise with the little windshield?

I've got a naked bike, and I prefer the look and lack of plastic, and I don't get fatigued by the wind. But the noise..

I've tried to fit some aftermarket windshields before and they actually made it worse no matter how I adjusted them (tried smaller and larger ones). Less wind on my chest but none stopped the noise at my ears.

Considering getting a faired bike next, but haven't test ridden any.

Wear ear plugs like hearos or other high fidelity ones. Wind noise is what causes hearing damage in the long run on bikes. But it does help when you tuck in.

>>16600743
Oh, makes sense I guess.

>>16600751
I do wear plugs. And to be fair I have a relatively cheap helmet. But it's the fact that the windshields i tried actually made it worse that scares me. Got way more buffeting and inconsistent air flow with the shields on, wouldn't wanna live with that after the naked bike.

doesn't it have a brembo front brake? shouldn't need shorties to clear the other fingers anyway.

Unless they cheaped out and put a garbage master cylinder on it and only spent the minimum on the brembo caliper to have the brand appeal for tards.

torque is the figure you would want to pay attention to on cruisers. most liter bikes are around 80 lb/ft on a 400-450 wet weight so scale that for your bike and you'll have any idea of how peppy it is or isn't. 80hp is going to have shit top end though

Depends on the design. Chinkshit levers can have problems properly actuating any plungers and switches because of the poor QC. One will always have the brake light on, the other will always be depressed just a little, etc

As long as your brakes are literally just a cable and all light-related switchgear is operated by something other than the lever they're fine, otherwise get out your dremel and some JB weld

Hey /dbt/,

/trv/fag here. I'm looking to buy a new or used bike that I can take on a Pan-American trip from Michigan to either Panama or Argentina, depending on how much time and money I can afford losing. While I've only just begun planning, I'm hoping to depart either in May or September of next year. This is essentially going to be my graduation gift to myself.

Don't have a huge budget and am trying to find something reliable and suitable for long-distance adventure-touring under $10k. Seems like a toss-up between the KLR 650 and V-Strom 650, with my inclination being towards the Wee.

Few people have suggested the BMW 650 GS and CB500x.

Any other ideas?

I'll send you the VFR if you send me an RD400.

>>16601801

KLR and CB500x are both around $6500 new. I think the V-Strom is a couple thousand more.

I want something that's going to be reliable and that I can continue using for a long time after my trip is over. Definitely will consider used options, provided I get a good deal on something in good shape.

>>16601791
Which VFR? Not the 800, obviously, but the wheel says nothing since everyone with a VFR gets that wheel at some point

>>16601810

Hope, some schmuck might pay it. If not, I'll reduce the price a bit and do some more waiting. I'm not desperate for it to go, I'd just prefer an RD400.

>>16602000
I don't know the bike market in the UK, but over here a VFR800FI in nearly perfect condition sells for half that. Since you can't sell it as a collectors piece in that condition, it's just an old pocket rocket and the bottom of its depreciation curve.

>>16602007
Exactly so if it sells for the stupid price I'm on a winner, and if I have to reduce I'm still earning a profit.

For reference, the zxr400 is a 92 model, 27k miles. Bought it for £1200, only thing that was wrong with it was the downpipes were riddled with holes, but a new set only cost £180.

Well that's your own damn fault for riding a bike that has been ruined for actually riding. I put 2k on this guy in stock form like it was nothing over 4 days. This is why a stock ujm is great, they work.

>>16602769
And fags are sportbike owners. We all know that

>>16602737
Only cruiserfags and sportfags. And dirtfags because they are children.

my really expensive leather jacket is a bit tight around the chest so I can't zip it up all the way to my neck, should I kill myself?

In general I am a retard that doesn't know how to get my stuff fitted properly.

This is the truth. A lot of them think they're better than everybody because their bike is 20k and all they use it for is starbucks on the weekends.

>>16602774
Fags ride harleys, cafe racers and sportbikes, it's an established fact.

Oh, right, bimmerfags who use the bike to go to the bars with their middle-age friends

Scootfags are definitely the worst riders. I legitimately wave at all of them and they never wave back.

I'm glad you tripfag so from now on I know when to just avoid dbt, youre the kind of asshole who gives riding a bad name. At least in real life everyone I know genuinely respects bikes of all kinds.

>>16602805
I've noticed that myself. Like wtf

>>16602817
Idk if they think I'm making fun of them or something but there's not many bikers where I live so I'm just happy to see anybody. Even pedal bikes wave back more than them.

>>16602814
I respect all bikes but Hyosungs, but I ride to ride. If all you care about is hard parking, power to you. But if I can't operate a machine in the way it is intended to, what's the point.

>>16602805
I think they're too afraid of losing balance by taking a hand off the bars, think about it anyone riding a scooter obviously isn't the most competent rider out there.

Can we all agree that the cafe racer cuck trying to defend not riding is the worse faggot here right now

>>16602813

it's definitely a dead battery whether that's a result of a bad stator or not is a different story but that's the sound of an engine trying to turn over with not enough juice.

Literally the worst.

>>16602822
I actually ride my bike, I didn't mean riding to meet friends I meant group ride with my friends. I understand the café isn't everyones style but I love it, fun project to build and definitely gets a lot of attention riding through town. But I'm also the type of guy who takes an 84 accord and intentionally wears the paint down then slams it on the ground because I like the look.

>>16602835

1% of what, wealth? If so, they are objectively better than you.

>>16602826
jesus fuck no where did I say I don't fucking ride, I said I wasn't going to ride my bike literally across the country to go to fucking bike week when there is one right next to where I live.

>>16602840

Ahh, mental health issues. Try not to be the next white guy to shoot up a church.

>>16602836
Exactly this
>>16602843
You don't know what 1% are? Are you new?

>>16602833
unfortunately I do not, but the electrical components work and trying to crank it doesn't cause the crank to get weaker with time

anything else it could be? the carbs? Im just hesitant to blame the battery itself because its new and the last battery was shit so I got pretty good at telling when there wasn't enough juice

they don't wave or nod back, typically it is 16 year old chavs fresh off the CBT riding them, and they do stupid maneuvers.

The other day I was at temporary road works traffic lights, I filter to the front. It goes green eventually and this fucker just whizzes out in front of me into the small gap between the curb and the roadwork barriers out of fucking nowhere. Proceeds to go nearly 50mph in a 30 zone.

>>16602856
It could be something draining your battery or not charging it enough, but right now your battery is dead. Hard to troubleshoot what it is when it's not running so try to jump it if you have friendly neighbours.

What bike is it? Small enough to bump start would be ideal.

>>16602860
>thousands
someone bought brand new and only goes to the dealership for maintenance huh? wouldn't want to hurt your frail little babygirl hands turning a wrench now would we?

I live in Canada so as long as they're just not too lazy to spend the 20 minutes to write the test and another 20 minutes to do a parking lot test, they could be riding a hayabusa if they wanted to.

You don't need a bike license to write a scooter here which is really fucking dumb, but whatever.

sup, debating spending $900 on a 2001 100cc dirtbike before I actually purchase my 'real' bike (Kawasexi 3hunnit/2fiddy) was wondering if the investment is worth the practice I get. thoughts?

never ridden before, but I consider myself a pro at riding actual bicycles, been riding for basically my entire life and past 2 years to and from school(ik it's cheesy but still I know ppl who have never ridden bikes and the point is I have basic balance skills balance)

should I buy it? the guy said it starts up after 3 tries max, and runs great. I just think it'd be a good bike to practice with before I get a real bike, to drop and fuck up, as opposed to a $3k Kawasexi

>>16603338

A stock XR100 is usually under $1000 used.

I dunno if you can tell just by the image, but basically you can use it just like a normal throttle, by twisting the wrist and sliding it on your thumb or You move it more central and use the thumb

Since i had a broken throttle i just rigged one up, but decent ones are pretty comfy

Wouldn't recommend if you're never driven an ATV on tarmac
