So yesterday I found out a riding buddy of mine was hoonin it up on a road that contains an elementary school, middle school, and community college all on the same strip of road, with 3 lanes on each side with a concrete median in the center.

It's reported that he was doing a wheelie, lost control, and the bike managed to jump the curb striking a 15 year old girl who apparently broke both her ankles and her arm.

On a scale of 1 to Pornhub, how fucked is he?

He was arrested on site for wreckless driving.

They do that through displacement most of the time.
Consider the 959 Panigale vs Aprilia RSV4RR.
The Aprilia makes much much more power and more peak torque with just 40cc more displacement. The Ducati has a slight edge on low-end torque HOWEVER because the redline is significantly lower, it is likely geared longer, so wheel torque will be less at any road speed.
>>
>>16623166
4 cylinders have flatter torque curves and more linear power delivery which is more predictable.

My argument is that if you drive dangerously on the road shit is bound to happen, not only to you but also to other people. As you can see from what happened to that anon's friend.
Meanwhile your argument is

If you can't see the oxymoron you're an idiot who shouldn't be allowed to ride motorcycles.
>>
>>16623253
So I'm guessing you sit in the center of your lane, never go beyond 5mph over the speed limit, and never lean more than 1 degree because "that's stupid and dangerous!"

Driving dangerously and having a complete disregard for the safety of others are two different things if you save the dangerous driving to places where you only jeopardize your life.

I want reddit to leave.

He was hooning like an idiot in front of a school with kids around like an idiot. That's the point.

No, my argument is if you're going to do dangerous things on a motorcycle, you do it away from others so if you do fuck up, you hurt yourself and no one else.

they can't make competetively powerful twins without ridiculously oversquaring their engines, resulting in gutless engines low-down, unless displacement is increased beyond any comparison (hurrdurr we can make a 200hp engine like BMW but only if we use 30% more displacement)
>>
>>16623260
Compare the R1 to the RC8 in your graph. That's the best comparison considering they were probably run on the same dyno with a similar environment. I won't apoligize for Ducati's curve there I don't know how you lose that much torque down low with a large twin

>>16623267
Okay.
Looking at the power curves. the R1 has a much more linear delivery and a nice plateu near peak power up top, meaning it can accelerate at near peak power for longer than the RC8R which hits it's peak power and fuel cut immediately after.

The RC8R also hits a big midrange surge but then starts to flatline at ~7krpm until it squeeks out it's peak power and signs off immediately after.

R1 has a mostly linear ramp up of power until 10,000rpm until it levels off and holds near peak power for about 3000rpm.

Only way to hoone, otherwise it wouldn't be hooning.
If you wanna do this shit you do it on the track or places for stuntmen, but then again you wouldn't be a hooligan anymore and that's the only thing you obviously care about.
>>
>>16623279
>Only way to hoone, otherwise it wouldn't be hooning.

Your argument is that you're going to hurt other people.

This argument fails because you can "hoon like an idiot" by yourself with no one else around. In which case you are only endangering yourself and your property and your entire "B-but you'll hurt someone else!" argument completely falls apart.

Thus there is "hooning etiquette". If you're going to do it, don't do it around other people or in situations people are likely to be, endanger only yourself and your own shit.

If you can't understand this very basic concept you're a fucking retard.

Your simplistic one-size-fits-all assessment of people who would pull a wheely and baseless generalizations show you're grasping for straws to pigeon hole the argument in your favor.

It is entirely reasonable and likely that there are people who enjoy hooning and are smart enough to hoon responsibly in situations where they will not hurt other people.
>>
>>16623241
In my generation of V-Stronk it's a bit rough below 3,500 RPM or so because Suzuki tuned it pretty lean in a certain band for economy/emissions reasons. A PC fattens up that part of the range (and a little bit elsewhere) and makes for a smoother experience. I haven't invested in one yet, but all the posts I've read about rave about the smoothness.

These are all measurements taken by wotting in 6th gear

>>
>>16623293
>If you can't see the oxymoron you're an idiot who shouldn't be allowed to ride motorcycles.

Most dynos (all of the ones plotted here) are plotted over RPM as the 'time' component. This effectively invalidates any differences in final ratio between the bikes.

The story is different if you plot wheel speed at the 'time' component.

>but the argument here is that v2s are better for city riding
No, literally no one has made that argument here.

>When you're not wotting until redline
The argument was that inline 4's offer a flatter torque curve and a more linear power delivery, which is true. linear power delivery is less likely to catch you off guard or surprise you in a turn.

On the other hand, overly strong midrange torque and sudden increases in torque/power do catch you out and are more likely to overwhelm rear wheel traction.

>In 6th gear
>An overdrive gear
Pretty much no sport bikes have an overdrive 6th gear. 4 cylinder sport bikes typically ahve around a 1.2:1 6th gear.

And your argument further doesn't make sense because a vtwin sportbike with it's shorter redlines would require overall, taller gearing per gear. As a general rule if a bike has a 30% lower redline it will typically have around 30% taller gearing per gear to compensate for road speed, and thus will effectively have 30% LESS torque available in a given gear. Which means a Vtwins torque advantage disappears for any given speed unless it makes more than 30% torque than an equivalent 4 cylinder at a given read speed in a given gear.
>>
>>16623313
This guy speaks the truth.
>>
>>16623298
>Yeah but will you?
You can, and many do. This invalidates your argument that "any" hooning is going to hurt someone else and that there is no etiquette to it.

>the judgement of a retard that behaves like this on public roads willingly, a quality one?
Nothing suggest it is impossible to have good judgement and enjoy hooning in a responsible manner where you only endanger yourself.

You are trying to fabricate a false dichotomy where anyone who is going to hoon lacks the judgement to hoon responsibly and with other people's safety in mind. This argument, logically, doesn't hold up. you have not proven anything to that effect and you are simply spraying your biased and generalized opinions with no basis.

>Please go kill yourselves on a mountain road, I have no desire to continue this farce.
Someone killing themselves on a back road would not prove your argument as they would likely only hurt themselves because they were hooning responsibly.

Enjoy riding a motorcycle without ever actually enjoying it to it's fullest because you think it's unsafe to do anything other than peter along a the speed limit.

They are called "accidents" because the term does not assign blame to any parties and is used as a means for explaining an incident without attributing fault to oneself or others.

This is irrelevant to the current discussion however.
If done responsibly you can hoon without the possibility of "accidentally" landing your bike on a toddler by choosing your location carefully, prerunning the area, and ensuring you have adequate sight lines.

I always feel like you should be smarter than this but you never are. Like you should know that flat torque curves are about more than just the cylinder count and a flat torque curve has as much to do with bore/stroke as it does with the fueling and ignition timing.

I4s can be just as linear as V-twins and generally are more linear when it comes to performance models, a lot of v-twins are tuned to be flat which is why they are, when I4 engines are designed to be flat they are.

You're posting engines from 1000cc superbikes, but you won't find a flat torque curve on a superbike v-twin either, have a look at a dyno from a panigale.

It's pretty comfy but I'm on the tail end of winter. People ride my ass because I can barely manage 45, but with low range you can climb just about anything. I got stuck waiting on a train once and slapped it in low and rode a quarter mile of loose rocks to the next crossing.

probably, that's the plan next pay check. The oil flows into the head through one of the stud holes and out through the cam chain cavity. they're right next to each other so I can't tell exactly, I figure replace them all while I'm at it and if it continues replace the head or get it machined, whichever is cheapest

What would /dbt/ buy between an ETV 1000 Caponord (with abs) 2005 and a Moto Morini 1200 Granpasso (2009), about the same price and equipment ?
Both are reliable, even ultra reliable for the aprilia, comfy, cheap, about the same torque but a bit more power for the granpasso (118hp vs 98hp), Granpasso is a bit lighter (about 10-15kg lighter), Caponord is a bit cheaper but uglier and less hard to sell than the Granpasso...

I'm really attracted to both, the idea is to get a reliable bike to make an European tour (about 21 000km) with something reliable, comfy but still fun to ride.

Which one would you chose ?
>>
>>16623597
>the idea is to get a reliable bike

something japanese then
>>
>>16623601
yeah sure but i still want something more fun to ride than a japanese bike. And the rotax engine from the Aprilia is rock solid, the Granpasso have the reputation to be reliable as well.

400cc supersports are not significantly lighter than any modern 600, in fact most are heavier.

A classic.

>>16625539
The GS500 is objectively the best beginner bike.
> mileage
It's a mid-sized 4stroke twin cylinder bike, so it drinks less than 6 liters per 100 km.
> handling
It handles nothing like a supersport, spoiling you for when you get something else. But it can also corner much better than something like a cruiser, and actually uses its entire rear tire unlike a Ninja 250.
> brakes
They are complete shit and their only redeeming feature is that they're disc brakes. This is good because the longer braking distance forces new riders to plan ahead and start braking early. No ABS means they learn to brake properly I'd they don't want to get shrekt.
> power
It sits right at the power limit for A2 bikes which is great for euros. It's torquey enough to be faster off the line than most cars you'll encounter in the city. But it also feels relatively gutless so a) it's forgiving of mistakes and b) you can ride it at the limit without putting yourself into too much danger. It reaches up to 180 km/h which is fast enough for highway riding.
> carbs
It being carbed means that if you run into problems, you can learn to fix them yourself instead of heading to the mechanic every time.
> seating position
Upright, slightly forward means it's a neutral riding position so you can figure out what you want afterwards. The seat is relatively uncomfortable making literally every other bike after it will feel like heaven on your ass.
> price and availability
Parts and the bikes themselves are cheap and plentiful. If you crash and fuck up one of your fairings it's 40 euros to replace it with original parts. Engine needs little maintenance. Beginner riders are typically not financially independent, so this is a big plus for them.
> suspension
It's a budget suspension factoring into the overall low cost of getting a GS 500. If you want better suspension it's easy to swap. Therefore it gives beginners an opportunity to learn working on suspension while keeping the cost manageable.
>>
Not even the GS 500 wants to be near itself.

Fucked up my LH fairing pretty bad on my ninja 300.

Want to sell my bike, trying to figure out what I should do. Should I try to DIY? (Tried to sand/prime/paint once and it got all fucked up), should i buy a new fairing + decals? What's the best way to sell this bike for the maximum amount of money, should I buy new parts for everything that is scratched or try to find someone who will buy as is?

I'd like at least 2300 USD. It's got less than 2k miles

I don't need to make or unmake anything, the GS 500 is and always has been the premier beginner bike.

Total damage:

LH Handlebar slightly bent, scratched on bar ends
LH Mirror scratched
LH Lower belly cowl scratched
LH Lower cowling scratched pretty bad, I can fix it probably but it would require removing the decals to look decent...
LH Backseat cowling chipped

I'm estimating close to $500 or more to fix this shit. Is it worth it? I don't plan on keeping it, I just want to sell it.

I avoid filtering up the far left of traffic simply because people don't expect you to be there. Most drivers check the right hand mirror more than the left.

You do know the gt500 has a power to weight ratio of like 5.5 pounds per horsepower. An fz6 is around 4.5 pounds per horsepower, with less wheels and stability
>>
>>16625768
You realize they both only make that much power at wide open throttle at or near redline?

Don't bother shitkat. We all know you just have to 'respect the throttle' and everything will be good.

I'd fix it before selling if I were you.

>>16625779
That doesn't negate what I say at all. Hell an sv650 accelerates 0-60 in less than 4 seconds. That's stupid quick. Something in the mid to low 3s is a lot of bike for someone who doesn't know how to ride. There's a reason the sticky says what it does and I believe it
