Shipping ECU to get flashed Monday. AwwwYeaaaaa!

is feeling like you're sliding everywhere on wet/damp roads even when you're going in a straight line normal or are my tires just fucking garbage?

Because I'm pretty sure the dealership went into the back room, slapped the shittiest scraps of rubber they could find onto my rims, and sold me my bike

Would a wr250r be a good beginner bike?

What's that Honda in the background. The 70s or 80s one?

Greetings! Quick question (with intro first):

I've been a cruiser rider for 10 years. I'm 30 yrs old. So now I've switched over to sport bikes. So far, they are GREAT. I love them. However, although my entire body is very comfortable at all times during riding, my wrists are just burning away the entire time, like pinching a nerve in them. I know it's the riding position, BUT:

Is it something I just have to get used to? Like the stiff ass clutch lever on my Harley in traffic? Like I just toughen that part of my body up over time? Or does it just feel that way forever?

Should I put under bar mirrors on my bike?

>>16691634

Same as doing the brakes.

Probably won't apply to you, but for some reason the bleeder nipple on my magura system didn't seal around the threads so it would pump a little through there instead of all going through the hose. Not a big deal though since it still seals once I close the screw.

TC's are horrible in that there's nothing iconic about them at all, Shovels left the potatopotatopotato behind, TC's have/had some issues that have been rectified in newer models.. The Evo/TC era is not one of engine bragging for Harley thats for sure.

Twinkies can make insane power but require so much money that you could buy a few superbikes before you're done.

One thing about Twin cams? They're GARAGE FRIENDLY, a simple guy can work on them. That goes a long way in my book.

Twinkies were.. a bridge and nothing more, trying to keep a brand going while engineers kept up. Try to remember Harleys only "performance" engines were in the vrod so you can imagine what they were lacking in the engineering department.

the Milfucky8 is a HUGE step in the right direction but they're trying to combat the "Harley look" crowd who wants an iconic appearance.,,, try doing a full liquid cooled engine and adhering to that...

Harley needs to drop the SOFT-TAIL FRAME completely, it's worthless in the modern world, they need to keep on the FXD and touring frames and they NEED to adapt engines, someday.

In the meantime, simply owning a harley can get you midtier pussy effortlessly so.. it's nice that way.

They were cheap enough I stuck with them for my shitbikes for a couple years. Now that I've got a sport bike to insure I'll be switching though. Geico wanted like $460 per year for my CBR600 for only minimum liability insurance. Allstate wanted like $3k lol. Progressive only wants like $250 but I've got a couple places left to check since I don't think I'll insure it until the beginning of march.

Yeah, but hey they bigger touring bikes are semi water-cooled.

Once all the boomers are too old to ride Harley is going to need to change their game or theyre gonna die out.

I understand the appeal of the aircooled motor tho, it is aesthetic af.

The sporty is due for an upgrade, maybe we will get the watercooled aluminium framed Hurly we want.

Or just buy a scout :^)

>>16691932

Well the rumor due to one spokesman at the 16 show was that Harley was moving to a unified frame, something long time coming... I think most engineering competent people want the soft-tail dropped... If you want the look just get a fucking rigid...

I've had nightmares of the Street line of Harleys being merged with the sporty line, it could be coming..

Milfucky8's are a HUGE step in the right direction and the response from the market has been great from what I've seen, with the EVO and twinkies you had pushback from the iconic crowd.. from EVO/Twinkie to Milfucky8 all you have is some guys worried about fins on their jugs and the horn cover showing for "iconic" looks, so we might be ok.

>>16691947
Itd be a shame to fuck up the Chiefs lines tho, they remind be of an old school Cadillac with the tail fins.

The vrod is an abomination, is cancelled. It's got an engine that's 100% not Harley, a frame thats all its own, theres FUCK ALL to do with ANY harley lineup except for the bar diameter... I don't give two slaps of piss about anything other than telling the anon comparing it to a normal Harley isn't 1:1 as they propose.

The Vrod though is.. we know what it is, we know what it can do, it's no replacement, it's nothing to Harley... for an anon to defend it and compare it... see attached, that's the level of cognitive dissonance.

Vrods were meant to compete with vstrom et all, failed.

no, if you ride a sportbike your legs and core should be on fire and your arms shouldn't have any weight on them at all. if anything, your knees should start to hurt a little from all the weight you put on the pegs.

I have a 2016 R6 and prior owned an 04 CBR600F4i with clipons and a 02 CBR929. I must say on both the hondas my thighs and core would get a little sore because I would use them to keep myself up, while I kept my arms relaxed in order to have full control over the bike. For some reason though on my R6 I am absolutely comfy and I can feel the seat absorbing most of the discomfort that my ass would feel. Basically, most of my weight is actually on my ass instead of legs, core, or arms.

I have heard however that pain in the wrists is very common for new sport bike riders and typically goes away in about a week or two as you adjust

Went to the touge for the first time today. I'm still a bit of a noob but luckily I encountered literally no one so I took it slower at first but got the hang of it really quick. Feels so much better than just commuting or going around town. There was gravel strewn everywhere though, and I would slow down as soon as I got to some out of instinct. How much gravel do I need to go over before it gets dangerous? Is it a lot more than I'd think, or is it a good idea to be more cautious?

Got a question. Why is there not a fairing version of the 'new' super naked bikes?

Why isn't there something in between a S1000R and the S1000RR or the MT10 and R1? I want a windscreen and a small fairing for highway use as well as boy racer looks but I don't want the extra cost, insurance and racer ergo of the full on superbike,

Are Harleys the Macs of motorcycles?

No, they're the Harley Davidson of motorcycles.

>>16692289
But are Macs the Harley Davidsons of computers?

>>16692265
Sure, if you dont care about cost of ownership, longevity of the engine, price of replacement parts, fuel economy, engine performance, suspension performance, tire life . . . .

No, that is BMW.

Look at when they tried to make a 450cc dirt bike, "we can do everything better" then they proceed to fail at everything to the point that they do not even continue production after a few years.

You made me laugh.

2016 (trump doesnt even) was rough for me in general and I appreciate every good laugh, thank you so much anon.

We had a guy shooting 15mm rubber gloves off an air tank at people in the shop recently, that topped it. :)

Exactly what I thought was about to happen, scared the shit outta me because I wasn't trying to get all the way up to the balance point, I was just jamming to some good music and revved a little more than usual and it came up way faster than I was anticipating.
Maybe I'm just a retarded nigger but fuck my heart dropped when I thought I was gonna drop baiku

>>16692149
Are you me.

I used Engine "DEGREASER" on my Suzuki DL-1000 and now it looks like dried tooth paste all over the engine.

>>16692338
come on now. Rule number 1 when wheelieing is ALWAYS be prepared to hit the brake and bring yourself down. Just because you don't think you're going to flip back doesn't matter. You WILL go to far back if you continue to wheelie without making a habit of controlling it with the brake.

no, that's honda right now.

They dumb down their vehicles deliberately to appeal to the lowest common denominator consumer even though they're clearly capable of annihilating if they targeted the more advanced rider.

no shit they literally put a suspension adjustment mode on the new CBR1000RR that lets you just dial in "braking, cornering, accelerating" bar graphs like a video game in case preload, compression and rebound are too hard for you.

And no doubt there are probably people out there buying these bikes retarded enough to use that.

>If you’ve read this far you’ll know that I have mixed feelings about this bike. As a machine, it’s clearly the product of decades of experience, both on track and off, that Honda has used to make the best bike they can. And it’s excellent. Electronically, I have questions. Why not make wheelie control and traction control separately adjustable? Why not make ABS adjustable, or at least have a track mode? Why not use the Bosch IMU, which is already attached to the bike, to inform the bike about pitch (instead of only roll and yaw) and use that data to make wheelie control and rear-lift control state of the art?
What it comes down to is a different opinion of what a superbike should be. I think it should be a track weapon first, and a street bike second. Safety systems are good, but if they hinder a bike like this on a racetrack then that’s a problem. Honda obviously thinks that as a flagship motorcycle it should be a street bike and a track bike in equal measure.

>>16692346
I did hit the rear brake and actually came down pretty hard on my balls and I'm sure it wasn't good for my front forks.
I always have my foot on the brake, I have just never had to actually use it before lol.
Honestly it probably wasn't even a big deal, it just spooked me feeling the bike at the balance point for the first time, i felt like I was gonna fall back

>>16692353
w8 so the electronic nannys are non-disablable?

>>16692357
desu you probably weren't even at the balance point yet. It takes a lot of practice to feel it out and you never really know where it is until you go past it or at least ride it out at that point for several seconds and realize you can stay there without accelerating.
>i'm sure it wasn't good for my forks
Don't worry about it. Forks are literally designed to take impact. That's their job. If they can't do that then it's a shit bike in the first place and you're not losing much.

>>16692365

spent all day working tirelessly getting my xs750 running so i can take it to a date tomorrow. Took it for a test ride and the rear brake is dragging badly. It's always something with vintage shit. I shouldnt, but i might be crazy enough to take it tomorrow. someone talk me out of it.

>>16692365

>>16692365
What the fuck nigger I'm dying

>>16692368
Desu you're probably right, idk if I was even really at the balance point. I'll keep practising and try to figure it out without crashing

>>16692353
>in case preload, compression and rebound are too hard for you.
They are for the vast majority of peter buyers, yes.

>Honda obviously thinks that as a flagship motorcycle it should be a street bike and a track bike in equal measure.
Well they sure didn't put lights and mirrors on it and spend millions of dollars passing emissions tests for the track

>>16692371

Dragging brakes will create enough heat to expand the rotor and lock up the wheel.

>>16692099
you were probably not at balance point anyway so chill.

If you want a real sheer heart attack though wait until you start leaning to swap gears mid wheelie, the first times you go from 1st to 2nd about 10% of the time it works perfectly and you roll out a huge wheelie, 60% of the time the front slams down and the remaining 30% of the time the bike shoots up and you've gotta hit the rear brake immediately.

>>16692123
I don't think it's a useless skill at all, it expands your comfort zone on a motorcycle which is always a good thing and even more than that it teaches you the value of deliberate and repeated practice.

When you first try to wheelie you can barely do it and you think there's something wrong with your technique and you need to find the "silver bullet" technique that'll make it all pop into place.

Then you realize it's not anything like that and it's just about getting better at the same fundamentals everyone else is doing, and that doing that same technique but much better and more refined than you're doing it now is the key, you can explain the correct technique to wheelie in 30 seconds flat.

That same attitude is true for all of motorcycling, It's about refining the fundamentals and wheelies can show you that.

>>16692384
1000cc is too much for most buyers, but the bike is still a 1000cc

>>16692392
Damn sounds cool

>>16692393
And they buy the 1000 that most electronically babies their complete incompetence the most.

wheelies have a place and I still will stand its only use is for dirt riding to pop up on shit to get over. it doesn't enhance your ability as a street rider unless you just mean confidence on a bike but any real fundamental will do that. You have to 100% admit that unless your a stunt rider making money.

>>16692459
>wheelies not useful

Only the ABS.

Complaining the active suspension settings aren't manually adjusting compression and rebound makes no fucking sense unless you want to program the entire goddamn thing with 3 buttons. It lets them be set in the non-active mode.
