GS500 best beginner bike. Im still in love for the simplicity of it.

>>16702102
wtf, levers are stock

>>16702099
It's not on the same level.

But returning to the core matter, you're saying Italy can't make very good products?
So what are Bimota, Tamburini, Beta etc.
Of course it's not like in the past.

>>16702104
GS500 is the only practical example of a double negative working. It's shitty even at being shitty, hence it's good.

Remember that people do pic related to those bikes though

guys, i don't know when it happened, but i suddenly feel a deep attraction to ninja 636s
am actually considering copping this zzr400 nearby, would it make for a fun (occasionally)trackbike?

>>16702180
Hard to say, never ridden one and i highly doubt anyone on dbt has either.

>>16702119
Those companies make small numbers, with high quality control (I would guess, no experience with them). With the prices Ducati is asking, you would expect them a little better, because if your €20k+ bike isn't reliable, you're not going to like it for long, or buy another one.
I'm not saying they can't make good shit, but the average Italian thing has terrible quality (control).

I've never had any other experience with Italian stuff than it breaking. And I work with a lot of Italian shit.
Give me German or Japanese shit, it might cost more to buy, but if I have to come down every year and replace that shit, it's way more expensive.

Yes, and?

>I'm not saying they can't make good shit
So we agree, this was the point all along.

>but the average Italian thing has terrible quality (control).
Of course they do. I've tried to explain why.

Ducati does the same thing HD does, except their bikes are better. It's a conscious choice, it doesn't mean they CAN'T make very good bikes. The person who decides at Ducati doesn't care.

>it might cost more to buy
I wonder why it fails less.

Nigger I'd make the same choice as you and for the same reasons, I don't give a fuck about national pride, you're missing the point.

You're talking out of your ass. Suzuki is one of the best deals in semi-pro and amateur racing bikes. In fact, the GSXR 1000, at $14,599 in the US, is probably one of the best deals in sportbikes now.

>Only race to sell
And why the fuck do you think Porsche, BMW, Ferrari, or Bentley participate in motorsports, you fag? Because they have nothing better to do with tens of millions of dollars.

Look at the rear weld, it looks like it was done by a spastic, it might hold up fine considering it is hopefully welded all the way around, but it just looks like shit.

If it's a home shop job maybe I'd give it a pass, but it looks like someone paid good money for that coat hanger abortion.

For fuck sakes follow the old mantra, 'a grinder and paint, make me the welder I ain't'

>>16702382
Are you implying that welding square relatively thick wall square stock aluminum onto relatively thick wall square stock aluminum, is some rare skill? Get a TIG and practice it isn't hard to get weld a that sticks.

i was joking about people on dbt knowing shit about welding btw, you are a prime example of that.

>>16702460
Ok, so forreal... up until about 2008 Honda actually gave a shit and made really good bikes, the f4i, the CBR600rr, the fireblade... Now they're just lazy, middle of the road, completely under-powered and uninnovative when compared to any other jap manufacturer. The only bike they have that I think is cool is the africa twin but that thing costs like $14k new

>>16702464

You'll still get Honda reliability, but I will tell you I've compared, side-by-side, their bikes made in Thailand (CB500F, CBR500) vs. their Japanese-made (CBR600RR, 1000RR). You can see the build quality difference from a mile away. The Jap bikes have welds that look like art, while the Thai bikes look thrown together and shoddy. You can see it all over the frame.

Maybe it's just an appearance thing, but to me, it matters.

>>16702464
650 is a gud bike
500 is a scooter

>>16702454
>>16702460
It depends what you want. Hondas will only rarely set the world on fire in terms of flashy features or bleeding edge power but what you do get is an immensely reliable bike that's extremely well polished and refined.

Ultimately, the best thing you can do is take a test ride of everything that's within your budget and looks like it might meet your requirements.

>>16702108
>>16702085

Is that your bike OP? Can you tell me if those calipers are 6 piston or just 3 piston? The earlier 2000s Hayabusas ran 6 piston calipers that looked like that so I assumed they also used them in some of the earlier GSXR 1000s but I asked someone about it one time and he just told me they were only 3 piston with a plate on the back (none on the other side)

>>16702505
i think gsxr 750 and 1000 came with 6 pots

I've owned 4 Honda bikes, an 04 CBR600F4i that I sold with 40k miles on it and still see it being ridden by some college kid who I guess is like the 5th owner now. I had a CBR929, a Honda Shadow 1100, was a good cruiser but I found I didnt like cruisers all that much, and a Nighthawk 750, it was a bullet proof bike but very unexciting. My favorite bikes have all been Yamaha's

The Africa Twin is worth the money IMO. What you get is a big dirt bike off the road and a reliable tourer on the road that's just a hair underpowered (it will still do 130mph comfortably fully laden with big boxes but it's really more at home under 100mph) as well as more relaxed than any bike with close to a foot of ground clearance and 8' of suspension travel (there's a speed hump near my home that was the bane of my existence on my naked & sports tourer, as well as my car, it's an absolute joy to fly over on the Twin) has any business being.

>>16702538
The suspension, out of the box, is set up for svelte Japanese people, not fatty fatty gaijins.

cool cool, people say that the more forward position can be kinda crappy after a long time. Just cause i have had a cruiser for so long, i was looking at the bolt and it looks pretty reliable, but is there anything i could do that would cause less strain on the back if i ended up getting a R6? maybe R3? Other than getting a more straight sitting bike like the Fz-09 or the YZF-R6

>>16702546
Setting the preload won't change the spring rates

It's set up for casually cruising down moderately bumpy roads. Sports tourer actually means sporty looking tourer.

>>16702561
I'll be interested to see how it comes out in the end but I don't have high hopes, 2 of my friends ride Yamahas (MT-06 and MT-09), they do most of their riding in the summer and, after just half the number of miles, look like bikes that spent a decade in a damp salt mine, despite their owners being even more dedicated to cleaning and corrosion protection than I am.

>>16702539
Cool Cool, i like reliable that is why i am kinda pushing away from my harley... its a 92 but still runs pretty well being carboureted and all. also the straight up position is probably pretty comfy for those long rides huh? Do you know of any adventure bikes that are good but maybe have a lower price range?

I had an FJ-09 prior to trading it in for my R6, it has a very upright seating position which you would think is more conducive to comfort. Last year my friends and I rode from LA to the Grand Canyon, took about 11 hours. At most I could do about 1.5 hours seat time on the FJ before having to take a break.

On my R6, my buddy and I rode from LA to SD, about 2 hours, 4 hours round trip. The only reason I was sore from that ride is because right before getting back into LA I hit a giant pothole on the 405N and fell. My Honda supersports I remember being ungodly uncomfortable but for some reason my R6 is the comfiest bike I've ever owned. Some people say the GSXR is the most comfy super sport but when I sat on one I felt like my legs were up to high.

If you want to buy a sport bike and later find that it's too uncomfortable there's a lot of different options. The best one is probably lower foot pegs and helibars.

I did Chamonix to Calais in one day (600 miles with the slight detour to grab some local produce south of Chamonix) and it was absurdly easy, to the point that I didn't carry on back home to the Midlands was because I had a non refundable hotel booked.


>Do you know of any adventure bikes that are good but maybe have a lower price range?

Depends whether you care about off road ability or just adventure styling (i.e. wider, higher bars, longer suspension). If it's the latter, look at the Versys and Vstrom 650s but, be warned, that they're very much just nakeds with the aforementioned modifications. They also have, in my opinion, pretty chintzy parts in certain areas.

>>16702592
sweet man, so i guess its more about adjusting to make things fit your body as it seems and there is a LOT of products out there to readjust and then some, so thanx for the input. I have been riding the same bike for like...6 years now. So, you have definitely swayed me on which certain motorcycles to maybe look more closely at and more so test drive.

>>16702595
This, with the 1090 coming in as one of the lightest and most powerful ADV bikes i'm curious to see how it turns out. the only problem is it'll be Ptwin.

Jesus, how badly were you bullied as a kid?

The guy compliments your choice in a bike he clearly can't have for whatever reason and you assume he's got to have some other motive.

>>16702589
The NC700/750X is definitely a Marmite bike that's worth looking at. The engine can be almost unbearably dull but it gets absurdly good mileage, the torque means it's happy fully laden and the frunk (storage compartment where the fuel tank should be, big enough for a helmet) is one of those things you don't realise the utility of until you own one and miss deeply when it's gone.

>>16702626
well glad you are ok anon. Also, do you have a Harley??

>>16702629
Np, I found after owning 11 bikes total that it's a lot easier to make a sporty bike comfortable than make a comfy bike sporty, just keep that in mind lol.

>>16702638
what, I didn't assume he has other motives at all. I'm saying I think he knows he has a shitbike and was upset that I lied to him telling him it's nice

>>16702630
What's wrong with P2?
It'll probably save weight on the engine.

>>16702639
That is definitely something i have never seen before, is the gas tank just around the storage compartment?? also, the bike i have is "quick" 1200 sportster, so if anything that might be a little faster haha, but mileage is also a plus.

>>16702645
No, never had. They don't really appeal to me, I test rode a Sportster XL and wouldn't have bought one for a third of the MSRP.

oh that is sweet. to be honest the vrod kinda looks funky, but i have looked into KTMs. but thanx for the info!

>>16702663
It's under the pillion (passenger) seat. The downside of this is that it only holds 14l (which will get you about 200 miles if you're gentle).

It's about the same as a stock Sportster in terms of 0-60 but runs out of steam very rapidly above 90mph.

>>16702685

>>16702685

>>16702688
Lol, that's kinda the idea. I want to turn it into something that's one of a kind. It would be my first time working on a bike beyond just a standard oil change, so I would be doing it one piece at a time.

Do you have any recommendations for the suspension? that's what I would be replacing first.

Honestly depends, you mentioned you have 6 years experience riding and you're not dead yet so you gotta be doing some right lol. I live in LA and most sport bikes here are raped to shit, I've legit seen people start them cold, rev em to 10k rpm a few times, and just full throttle out of the parking lot. Also met a redguard fellow that claimed to have owned a GSXR for 40k miles and had never done an oil change ever. So for me, I went new. I'm sure you can get a better deal buying used but im autistic when it comes to maintenance.

I'd say look at the used market in your area, see if there's anything cool that checks out. If not, buy new and immediately throw on some sliders

I probably wouldn't have been going 50 to begin with, I ride as if there's a forage harvester just beyond where I can see with the blades spinning.

Assuming you just plopped me into that scenario going 50, I'd have braked like hell before the curve started then taken the closest inside line (to the centre line, not the entire road) I could to give the most wiggle room and end up in a lowside if all else fails.

>>16702707
Brake, HARD, drop to 1st gear, release brakes.
Go to the road on the right, keeping the bike as straight as possible on the gravel. Slow down on that road like normal.

Assuming you meant 50mph, as that road looks American. But you already fucked up if you were still going 50mph at that point.

Otherwise it's just normal braking and roll through the mud.

>it's not a tuono

>>16702735
No, but do you not factor the engine type in at all? I said it wasn't a deal breaker but I would certainly prefer a V twin over Parallel, and I think most people would agree, Vs are more characterful engines with a better sound.

>>16702730

Sure, but there is more to an engine than "how good does it sound"

A lot of bikes are Ptwins nowadays because they can offer much better center of gravity and centralized mass which improves handling. Can also be much more compact.

Holy shit you can't be serious. That's plenty of room to go from 50 to 0 easily. And even then you don't need to completely stop, just slow enough that it doesn't take much traction to make it through the corner.

oh boy it's another retard who thinks V4s are torquier than I4s for some reason.

Hint: They're not.

>>16702809
protip: your brakes are stronger than you think, just don't grab them all at once like a hamfisted retard. apply pressure quickly, but gradually, to load up the front suspension/tire for MAX GRIPPPPP

also always look where you want to go, looking at something you're trying to avoid will pretty much guarantee that you crash into it

>>16702815

>>16702775
I understand. However, I was saying that one definitely could pick a bike based almost entirely on the engine alone if they wanted to use that engine as a base for customization.

Whether that engine is a V-twin, P-Twin, Triple, I-4 or V-4 is all about taste, which is highly subjective. I mean, some people actually like blood pudding. Blegh.

50mph-0 in ~50 metres if even, including the time you need to react? Not happening. You're half way already before you started braking.

I know what deep mud does with my traction, I rather go to the clean road. If my bike goes, it goes. And it'll need a crane to get out.

>>16702742
Speed limit was 55, I was already slowing down. See above about mud, which covered my entire lane to the double yellow.
>>16702746
This is essentially what I had decided to do.

I braked and kept the bike straight on the gravel. Didn't attempt to turn off because i was already over the gravel and keeping the bike upright. I had chosen to come to a complete stop But the moment I hit the mud, even with the bike upright it came out from underneath me.
Wish I had a gopro to review ever minute detail desu.
At the end of the day I came away with just a little scrapes and a small gouge on my elbow. (i wasnt wearing gear you can shun me for that) Didnt hurt nearly as bad as I thought it would. I must've been at LEAST below 20mph when it lowsided.
Bike was completely functional, scratched the fairings and a mirror snapped off. But rode the girl home and Im gunna get it cleaned up. She landed right in a huge puddle of mud.

You probably could have braked harder if you were doing 50 at the bottom of the pic but couldn't stop before gravel. judging by the car, you've got at least ~50 feet

I'm not an expert or anything, nor was I there watching, but sounds like you should practice hard braking.

Also try not to panic if you go over loose gravel or mud. Brake minimally or not at all, and just focus on keeping it in a straight line

>>16702823
They usually are, because who the fuck sells a big bang I4 besides the R1

so in other words, many

>>16702827
Meh, I've ridden both engine types and the V2 was way more exhilarating with that acceleration. I'm sure the V4 top speed is better but the V2 has a faster 0-60 time than the newer tuono's.

>>16702859
and the R1 is nowhere near the torquiest I4, in fact it's the least torquey.

>>16702837
target fixation is a meme, It's really called tunnel vision, there's no magical force that makes the bike go where you are looking but emergency braking lookin at the car instead of to the right or left of the car will probably end up with you crashing into it instead of powersteering out of the way.

Thanks for the input, I wasn't panicking. Everything was going smoothly until the bike slid out from under me. Cool old guy named Cole helped afterwards, he mentioned having a bike as well. (probably Harley)

Fun stupid fact, I was riding without a rear brake because the bracket for the pedal was snapped. And I either my front pad is thin as fuck or there is air in the line. Another hindsight thing I can shun myself about.

>>16702900
>how many possible firing orders there are for I4

>each bank angle V4
179, 0 degrees is an I4 and 180 degrees is a flat-4. Next question, please.

That's like saying "I jumped out of a third storey window the other day and am now paralysed, that doesn't mean I was doing anything wrong, right up until a millisecond after my face hit the concrete everything was perfectly fine". The reality is that the fuckups started some time before the final event.

>>16703086
You should always use a little throttle when braking, it stops the front end diving.

>>16703069
I mean, it doesn't really have more "grip", but a supermoto is basically a dirtbike, which has a chassis designed so that it can get its weight onto the rear wheel more effectively in dirt and such when you are kinda steering with the throttle and sliding through the corner.

your average sportbike or standard is meant to be rode more on the front wheel, as it does far more of the braking on a paved surface, and you steer more with the front end and trail brake, and less with the throttle, plus on a sportbike the riding position and extra weight will be awkward to deal with a slide like that

story?

>>16703253
that would be a regulator/rectifier

>>16703253
Honda made an R/R with almost no cooling fins and put it on a hot spot on a hot running bike.

So they broke down in the middle of nowhere

>>16703258
yeah but what about it.

On a more general note, is there a way to polarity test one of these?
I'm trying to fix up the Bajaj I started on, do scooter races, but it ate a stator and two batteries.
I tried buying a chinaware regulator, but it's a quarter the size and ALL THE WIRES ARE PURPLE.

throw it on the shelf and get a proper one m8
even the fleabay generic chinese ones will work
just make sure if you go cheap that it has a sensing wire too

VTEC does suck on bikes, it just deactivates valves below a certain point and robs you of torque. The only possible advantage is fuel economy but I'll take a smooth powerband over fuel economy. It's not an actual VTEC system like on cars with different cam profiles and such.

VVT, however, is awesome, which is what they have on the DVT multistrada and new gsx-r1000r.

>>16703306
Sensing wire?
Dog, this is a curry tractor.
My battery sensor is when the headlight turns off.

>>16703346
voltage sensing wire will just go to the battery to make sure the regulator doesn't over or undervolt the system.

>>16703292
If it's a three-phase stator, then better to ebay a japanese ATV regulator. If it's not three phase, then you are pretty much stuck with Chinese stuffs.
