>>16889998
Icon is my preferred brand mostly because I'm about that big boy life and they are the most generous cuts for most of their products while still offering really good protection. That being said their style appeals to me as well and these gloves defiantly fit that criteria for me. They're comfortable for my fat fucking hands and I like the way they look. I'll admit the bits of titanium on the fingers are a bit over the top but I like the overall look, fit, and quality of their gear.

I'm a second-year rider on an R3, started out on a Ninja 250. For any anons unfamiliar with the inside-baseball, the Ninja 250 is ranked somewhere in the 3-5 range of best bike, while the R3 and GS500 duke it out over the 1 and 2 slots.

I was always impressed by the performance of the Ninja 250, but it just isn't in the same league as my R3. The drop-off in engine performance when you leave the 250cc class is pretty steep, and it must be even steeper when you look at sub-250cc bikes. I mean this in the least arrogant way possible.

The consensus on /dbt/ is that most of the value-added comes from the additional low-end torque. I can't speak to the quality of other bikes, but the dominance of the R3 self-perpetuates pretty easily. Knowing that I'm riding the best performing bike for its class is a comforting thought.

Should I "upgrade" to the 80 and just not fill it to the brim?
Does seem like a good idea to have extra space and not need it as opposed to needing it and not having it...

I go to a university in southern california that's about 40 minutes away from my house... I live on campus but keep my bike at home because there is nowhere secure to store it on campus and I'm afraid of it getting stolen by mexicans that run them back across the border, there were 50 cases of motor-vehicle theft last year and i've seen a couple fb posts recently on the rider groups saying to look out for their bike that was just stolen (from campus)

I think the stock ones are fine but a little tall.
I would fine some shorter aftermarket ones.

I had bar end mirrors on my CX, I really liked them tbqh I just don't think they would work well on this bike

>>16890899
Well my son is 2 so they would call that murder.

I cant ride to work, have to bring a bunch of work shit from a supplier to the customer, so i need a trunk.
My sis might have to be on the bike to the airport though. Im fucking riding today.

I had a bike stolen from Orange County last year. I'm sure it's been dumped at least three times in Tijuana by now. It really sucked looking out the window one second and admiring and looking out a minute later and not seeing it at all.

>>16891212
Fuck, man. I'm gonna spend some extra time with my son tomorrow. Ever since he was born, stuff about losing kids/kids going through hardships just gets me.
My parents could die tomorrow and I'd be okay. (If my dad died tomorrow i'd be happy). I'd would seriously probably just mutter 'well fuck..' and be fine after. But if I watch a movie where a kid loses his parents or someone's kid gets hurt, my throat feels all funny.
I've cried about 3 times in the last 10 years, but dammit I come close with that stuff.

My cirrhosis is not quite "severe" yet so the biggest concern is the cancer spreading.
I cant afford chemo unfortunately. But i probably have at least 4-5 years left if my doc was being honest with me.
I do try to not worry about it so it doesnt consume me. I have more important things to worry about.
I just want to live long enough to teach my son some of the important things.

Let's do it. Got my fender eliminator, and a mirror to replace the stock ones ordered today.
Once it all gets here, i'm going to peel the grey plastidip off. and get it cleaned up.

The 690/701 is actually restricted in gears 1-3. You get 20% more power with no mods other than a remap or something stupid like that.

>>16891435
emissions.

>You may also feel some hesitation getting back on the throttle. For best ride-ability ideal fuelling ‘wets’ the cylinder head intake ports, which smooths out initial throttle application. However, the latest emissions laws also remove this ‘wetting’ strategy, adding to the harshness of modern motorcycle throttles.

EFI throttle where they don't give a fuck about emissions, like the K5 gsx-r1000 are practically perfect.

>>16891466
yeah a lot of bikes retard the ignition in lower gears, usually just tricking the gear sensor into thinking it's always in 5th gets around this (and the speed limiter on a lot of bikes)

Those engines are tuned for the back pressure, you will lose power and it will probably not butn the fuel as good so more wear on the engine.

>>16891761
it has a shitload of power for its size if you're serious about racing

>>16891764
It also needs an engine overhaul every couple of hours of use.

>>16891772
yeah, that's what happens when you force every bit of power possible out of an engine

>>16891761
There was one for sale near me for like 4 grand, I really wanted to do it.

>>16891772
>every couple of hours of use.
nah it can go a few thousand miles before needing a rebuild. performance dirt bikes are expensive to maintain, who would have thunk?

>>16891784
I checked yesterday, there is at least one close by and only costs like 5 grand.

It also has barely any milage but thats kinda expected given the circumstances.

I'm thinking about getting a second, smaller bike. Currently have an adventure bike, interested in something sportier and naked I will only use during nice weather and maybe trackd. Budget isn't a problem, rather keep it under €10000 though. No dirt bikes or hipster shits.

>>16891811
How small?

I'd go for the Shiver but I have a thing for Aprilia's.

Not every bike is going to be their flagship, not every bike is going to pass emissions until X criteria, different regions selling against different competition, pricing and blah blah.
Many variables, so long as they make it easy to remedy I'm fine with that.

Pic sorta related, TLs was more popular than the TLR so they cut off its balls.

>>16891815
Regular sized, which is small compared to my adv.
I'm 183cm, so babby bikes, how fun they may look, are not possible. I have to fold myself on a f800r already, but are willing to compensate on that as it will be a second bike I wouldn't tour with.

>>16891823
Oh you mean physically small? Thought you were talking about engines.

>>16891823
6'4" here, I fit better on the new 'western' 250's, 300's etc than any of the 600/1000's. It's really fucking annoying to have to literally modify and testride everything to find one that actually works.
