You want to ride a 195 hp, 127 kg 2 stroke track beast on road?

why? total waste.

>>16760165
That's what I was thinking as well. I'll give it a shot all the same. Can't hurt to ask.

>>16760177
Road racing is the purest form of racing though.

>>16760182
yeah road RACING, which doesn't need a bike to be road legal.

>>16760188
If it's not illegal racing it's not proper racing though.

>>16760177
no I wouldn't. that's why they aren't mass produced

>>16760195
I'm not interested in owning a 2 stroke 500 at all, i just love when /o/ complains about things not existing, then whey they do they're never right (see: toyobaru), in this case not road legal, as if you'd ever want to ride one of these on your fucking commute or something.

p.s, not all 500s had peaky powerbands, by the 90s that shit was all sorted with trick carbs, power valves, big bang layouts etc.

The engine characteristics would still be somewhat shit even with rider aids. But the main point is still that two strokes suck ass for emissions and fuel economy so they don't perform well in road applications, and there was no point in racing 2 strokes when nobody sells them or rides them.

Way back in the 60s Honda used to shit on less developed 2-strokes with stuff like a 4-stroke 5 cylinder 125 with an 8 speed gearbox but those were made illegal because they had fuck all to do with any non-GP motorcycle too.

>>16760215
They gave up a ton of power to do that.

The warbonnet is AESTHETIC.

>>16760249
They handle FI amazingly completely stock. The Toyota fueling system means they have more potential than the fa20 in the wrx. In Na form, there's not much left the squeeze out of it.

>>16760265
You mean the sweet front fender with the light up face. Hell yea nigga

>>16760275
On just about any kit, it'll make 300whp, 450whp on E85 with fueling upgrades. A WRX would require a turbo upgrade to get to that level, which would make the costs similar. Enthusiasts would prefer the 600lbs lighter, limited slip diff, rwd car.

>>16760290
Or you could just buy a Miata or Fiata which is better in literally every conceivable way

>>16760261
>50cc
Suzuki please. It's certainly the case that by the end of the 60s 2-strokes stopped being so shit but you could still compete with a 4-stroke until they tightened the rules. Shit the NR500 almost worked even.

>They were just stubborn because sochiro honda hated 2 strokes.

What's the deal with double clutch transmissions in bikes? Sounds like an objectively smart move for motorcycles in the long run. Not sure how much of a downside losing a clutch lever would be. DCTs shift faster than any manual or automatic and still maintain fully manual shifting, just without a clutch lever.

>STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE

>>16760350
The weight difference is much more significant in a small vehicle like a motorcycle and bike transmissions are more like race car transmissions to start with. (any GT3 car dumps the DCT for a conventional gearbox with a pneumatic or hydraulic shifter)

Cool, thanks for answering my questions /dbt/. I've ridden bikes before but nothing crazy. Certainly nothing with a quick shifter or set up for racing. I thought a DCT would be faster to shift than having to pull clutch/roll off throttle, shift up or down, and release clutch/roll on throttle. With a DCT you just flick a paddle or button and that's the end of it, I don't think you even have to roll off throttle. I've never ridden a DCT though so maybe I'm just retarded.

The seamless shift in a DCT is a little bit faster than a conventional gearbox but in a bike's case it's probably not 25lbs worth of faster.

They don't like soft slow shifting. Basically they benefit from you banging up through gears and are a lot less quiet and smooth than regular setups.

Autotragics don't even use gears like manuals though, that's just planetary gearsets with clutches to hold the outer ring.

>>16760595
Also curious about this. I fucking hate H pattern shifters but I love manually choosing my gear. I want more DCTs or sequential shifters for cars! I hate CVTs though, my girlfriend's old Nissan had a CVT and it was AWFUL to drive.

>>16760579
Dogboxes are conventional homo. DCT already has the next gear engaged before the shift is even initiated so there's no necessary throttle cut or power interruption.

F1 and MotoGP have their own non-DCT seamless shift gearboxes that use crazy electronics to engage two gears at once and disengage the previous gear before the entire thing explodes into tiny pieces but they cost a gorillion dollars.

>>16760595
Because they're a bitch to drive slow. Semis use dog rings.

>>16760595
Maybe they can't handle the higher torques and power of a car? I have no idea just a wild guess.

Yeah it's an XS650 motor in a custom lightweight rigid frame, modernish KZ650 front end on it.

This was the chop I built previous to it, an XJ650, ignore the fire extinguisher shit, a main jet vibrated out and it shot fuel like a flamethrower through the exhaust and lit up some oil.

>>16761117
That's dumb. Should know why you're buying a DRZ even though you're going to end up buying a DRZ anyways.

You could get a KTM 625 for about the same price. Won't be significantly less reliable if it's maintained well but parts will be more expensive. Won't handle being abused and forgetting to change the oil for 8k miles like a DRZ, but will be significantly faster.

KTM 690 if you wanna spend way more money for way better everything.

WR250X/R probably will be hard to find and is pretty comparable regardless of what any memers wanna say.

All of the above have factory interchangeable supermoto and dirt wheels you can get.

DR650 or XR650R a good if you wanna travel on the highway more and don't mind putting slightly more effort into a proper street setup, and a kicker in the case of the Honda.

Dude forgot to mention the suspension of all of the dual sports sucks dick on the street compared to all of the stock supermotos.
My bros XRR is a couch compared to my DRZSM, let alone my 701.

>>16761157
To add onto this, I own a DR650 and my mate has a KLR, after fixing the carb on the KLR they make similar power but the KLR is like a boat, sort of heavy and uninspiring doing tight turns and the risk of falling over and fucking up the fairings. With a KLR you sit IN it, a DR you sit on TOP. Makes it feel better maneuverability wise but I'm fucking terrible at offroading so take that with a grain of salt

>>16761200
It's got a 22L tank so all that went out the window ages ago

>>16761188

>>16761191
It's just a fucking DRZ but you trade some grunt for a 6th gear and EFI.

>>16761231
I'd argue that the road suspension is just plain better suspension and will be able to switch between the two better. Not like you're actually going to be doing hard enduro on any of those bikes. My DRZ SM suspension did fine on the TAT, if giving up some comfort.

510, and 610/630 are not even close to similar bikes aside from the Husqvarna name.

510 is a race motor, light weight bike.

610/630 are 300+ lb ADV style dirt bikes. Basically a DRZ but with a big bore stroke kit from factory.

Cruise at 75 overtake at 75+

Could it be the speedo/tach plastic whistling or vibrating? Or possibly the cables slapping around?

If it's an internal problem, I'm inclined to point to the transmission. The sprocket and chain are new. But it sounds like it's coming from the front of the bike, and not the center. And I don't have any abnormal vibrations.

It should also be noted that the speedo and tach have a broken bolt or something wrong with the plastic covers. Because those were loose when I bought the bike. Slapped some silicone in them, that should be good. But the tach can still shift around.

Any idea of what I should do to chase this gremlin down?

The god machine can do all the things.
>tfw geared 13/52
>tfw still manages 150kmh in 5th gear
with 14/45 gearing it will do over 180km/h no worries, would easily last over 300 hours between rebuilds if it were being ridden on the road too considering it lasts about 300 hours/15000km off road.

>>16761365
The DRZ can comfortably cruise around 65 with a 44T rear sprock or 75 with a 39T rear sprocket, either one will top out around 98mph. The 44T rear will be competent if not extraordinary in the dirt. It will be easier to manage offroad because it's got more torque and wider gears.
I assume the WR is much the same on the highway and could be better offroad but require you to be less lazy because you'll have to shift and stay in the power band more consciously.

>>16761356

i kinda like the small fuck around bike too since i can still take it to the go kart track and ride it around town for fun. I am starting to go to track around 5-6 times a year though on the big bike and i am starting to get worried about having people miss braking points and fucking shit up or myself even making a mistake which is pretty possible. Im trying to work it so maybe i can get both. 3-4k for grom, 5k for older gsxr or 636. i have two bikes im selling that i inherited, they're standards and i never ride them so i'm trying to get something i will ride.

My friend went down today after a car pulled in front of him. His bike is a little scraped up and he broke a collarbone. Not sure if it's an omen since it happened the day after I started considering getting a bike seriously.

>>16761349
>they suck off road
The DRZ at least if fine offroad. I'm sure they're both plenty for anyone looking for a woods bike to take camping. Anyone looking to do riding like in CROSSTRAINING isn't looking at getting a DRZ anyways.

they are designed to have longer engine lives at the cost of extra weight while still being extremely capable off road bikes.

>>16761514
Problem with that is even a drz is capable of a hell of a lot more than most of the people who ride them could ever make them do.

putting that rider on a better bike won't exactly do a lot for them when it comes to going faster or further off road.

I'm just trying to find a good compromise that I can reliably commute with every day and hoon on the weekends or go on some trips. They're called supermoto's or supermotards by everywhere online, so that's what I called it.

I understand there are going to be compromises, obviously there's no bike that's going to give 100hp, be reliable, light, and low service intervals. The dorsoduro just looks like the best middle ground between a road legal dirt bike and a street bike. Sorry if I wasn't clear that's what I wanted, but I was just calling them what everybody else calls them.
