peak numbers are at a much lower point in comparison to an i4.

for example, check out this graph of some twins versus some conservatively tuned i4's. even there you can see the difference

peaky means having one or more sharp increases in the torque curve creating a sudden burst of power at a certain RPM. I4s don't do that. They build up power smoothly and consistently up to the top then have a slight taper off.

I would consider that more peaky

How is it possible that it costs only €230 and is in carbon fibre?

>>16787262

>>16787339
>Even still, looks better than the sv650.
Lolno.

I've yet to see non fugly looking Buell. But I guess you guys need to convince yourself you have a good domestic built alternative.

Brand new Ninjet 300 or R3 or secondhand Ninja 650 (same price as 300)?
The 650 will require some luck though, I'm not buying anything older than 2015.

>>16787347
650
>I'm not buying anything older than 2015
WHY

>>16787349
Because I don't live in the US where motorcycling is just a "hobby".
Everyone here dailies a scooter, and I am positive if it's a sportbike it's been dropped and been used daily.

My SJ4000 should arrive today.

Now, where the fuck could I go look for Sugru to attach it to teh helmet? What store?

>>16787351
Is this going to be your first bike? You'll likely drop it too, and fucking up a brand new bike is going to hurt a lot more than a used bike, especially an older one.
In any case, dropping and dailying bikes does not make them bad bikes.

>>16787347
Ninja's probably gonna be better as a daily.

>>16787355
>Is this going to be your first bike?
First "real" bike. I have a tiny 125cc thing, I won't even call it a bike in this thread.
>You'll likely drop it too and fucking up a brand new bike is going to hurt a lot
Insurance for the brand new 300s is cheap and ok-ish.
>dropping and dailying bikes does not make them bad bikes.
If only it ends there, people here are cheap fucks and will only change their oil when their vehicles start burning. Obviously I'm exaggerating but that's how bad people are in 3rd world countries, I guess you could also argue that if someone bought a sport bike they probably think similar to me wherein I love and take care of my motorcycle, but I just can't trust old bikes primarily because I don't have a reliable mechanic and I'm not knowledgeable enough to fix any real problems aside from basic maintenance.
>>16787357
Which one? The 300? I guess, it's smaller and has better MPG. At the very least I can shit on 150cc "sport bikes" but at the same time I can't hang around with the bigbois.

>>16787368
Do whatever you want man. I'm just saying that a 650 would be a good idea. Also you should inspect the bike and test ride it (i.e. spend a half hour or so on different types of road) before buying, that way you can be sure it's fine even if it's a few years old.
What's the point of asking us if you already made up your mind and won't listen to criticism?

>>16787262

Also the difference here is that even though I agree with you I have the honesty to admit I can't see anything absolutely wrong with the helmet, because there are no facts against it. I would never buy it.

Never going to happen. Bring money, buy engine, obtain transmission from something and enjoy.

I just left mine at stock settings but turned off the looping so I just get whole videos of my rides instead of little chunks.

Looks pretty decent, I was pleasantly surprised. Obviously looks worse in my webm's because that's just the nature of webm's.

I use 'webm for retards' and VLC to review it all.

Buy a factory service manual. Visit brand-specific forums and Jewtoob for more info, but default to the service manual instructions when in doubt.

Take your time.

This, and when you learn how to wrench the money you save more than pays for tools and books.

They were one of the quintessential hooligan bikes for a good while. Reliable and decent power while also slightly cheaper to buy/maintain than their fully faired sportbike brethren. Also dem torqz

that's pretty much everything short of retorqueing bolts and checking lines and wires if you want to do a "full" maintenance

It's drivetrain is mostly Sportster hence quite reliable and spares aren't a problem.

Visit xlforum and Buell forums for details. This is not those forums.

Don't be a beta tester. When they are out a few years you'll know what's good and what isn't.

Wait until other people find out what breaks.

>>16787693
it's a royal enfield, so everything will break.

>>16787644
False and stupid. If you crash a lot don't blame the number of wheels for your cuckery.

>>16787695
It may or may not, which is why I advised waiting. Let someone else find out if shit. Pooinloos will eventually get it right, but none of us may live to see it.

>>16787703
Yeah, blame yourself for riding a sportbike over gravel like everyone else who crashes. I mean, blame the gravel. Damn those cities for not sweeping the roads!

>>16787709
it's a poo in the loo bike

Meh, I just made a broad google search and It's relevant to the current conversation.

I wish RE was better. I think they look nice and it's pretty neat they're all assembled and painted by hand.

Would be neat to more have small, reliable, stylish bikes that aren't jap sport bikes.

this thread is a paragon of credible info in comparison to reddit

Daily reminder that the himalayan broke in the fucking promo video.

That's why I said to wait.

No reason exists to buy anything but a proven reliable Japanese motorcycle as your daily if you live in civilization unless you have buckets of spare money.

Hamilton. Was looking at an mc22 in Wellington before I got the Ninja. Too far to ride back up.

>>16786442
That would probably be equivalently punishable
