That's how I bought it, that doesn't mean that's how I'm gonna keep it.

Why are there no high horsepower 250cc engines? Like is the size of the motor the ONLY determining factor for horsepower numbers?

>>16941092
size and cycle mate

a race prepped RS250 can produce 100hp without too much stress
a street prepped NSR250 produces something like 60hp

>>16941092
Power is energy per time.
That means that if you make a lot of energy in a short amount of time, you get high power output.
By increasing the maximum RPM, you can burn energy in a shorter amount of time, which means you can burn fuel more often, which means you make more power.
By increasing the displacement, you increase the amount of fuel that gets burnt on every cycle, increasing power output. HOWEVER higher displacement means larger moving parts which means higher inertia necessitating lower maximum RPM.
By adding forced aspiration (turbo or supercharger) you force more air/fuel to be burned in the same amount of space (displacement), allowing for higher energy throughput.

250s need to rev very high to make the same power as liter bikes, but there's a certain cutoff where you can't make the moving parts any smaller, thus not allowing you to exceed a certain max RPM (I think the CBR250RR was pretty much as high as it gets at like 18k).
Theoretically, since a 250 has 1/4 the displacement that a liter has, it would have to rev 4 times as high to make the same power (this is a VERY simplified explanation). They can't, so they can't make the same power.

>>16941092
no, compression also
Answer to your question is regulations.

Look up motocross 250s, even 4 strokes have more power than roadbikes.

Then look up CBR250RR MC22

>>16941092
What is your idea of "high horsepower" for 250cc?

Moto3 bikes can push out over 55 bhp while weighing only ~90kg

>Of course the cc size is the ONLY determining factor...

The compression ratio/number of cylinders/ohv vs sohc/dohc, variable timing, cam lift/duration and naturally aspirated or forced induction and number of strokes NEVER EVEN COME INTO PLAY

>>16941112
>By increasing the maximum RPM, you can burn energy in a shorter amount of time, which means you can burn fuel more often, which means you make more power.
So why isn't peak HP always at the limiter?

>>16941141
>the more air you have the more power you have
Yes and no, you obviously also want fuel. You use a lot more air than fuel though, and in carbed engines since the fuel is drawn by the air current going through the carb, the amount of fuel injected into the engine is automatically increased. On bikes with electronic fuel injection you would have to manually increase the amount of fuel injected into the engine.

The RS 250 race replica has a suzuki engine that, with the right heads, bearings, exhaust, power valves, reeds, sparks and pistons can get up to 75 hp.
Pic related is the "gruppo termico V64", an extreme tuning by Veronesi Racing that brings the VJ22 motor up to 350cc and over 85hp with a lot more torque, but you're looking at an extremely expensive build, in the realm of 8 THOUSAND euros.
There is no way a VJ22 engine can get up to 100hp while remaining reliable even for a handful of hours.

The "100 hp" rs 250 he's talking about is actually the RSW 250, a proper 250 GP bike that used to be ridden by no other than Max Biaggi and can indeed produce even more than that power. It uses a race engine made entirely by aprilia and has a bevel gear-driven rotary valve instead of reed valves and also revs up to 14k rpm
But that's a completely different machine, with carbon brakes, Öhlins suspensions, not even a pedal starter and weighs 96kg

Seems like the ground clearance for naked/faired versions of the bikes I want are more or less the same, so I might as well get the faired ones.

I get that the dual sport are the most utilitarian out of all my choices but damn, I wouldn't be stretching it if I power through rough roads once a month with faired crap right?
Something about the way dual sport looks just doesn't sit well with me. I'm a fucking retard.

Get a DR650, they are pretty short. I think the stated seat height is tall but with the suspension sag when you sit on it it's not a problem

They're coming back, along with the turbos and the GPzs. When their values start to crack 10k, slow ass manufacturers will realize can cash in on this style for cheap (i.e. low R&D costs)... add 3-4 years for product cycle and by 2021 we'll have what I want. If only a manufacturer was bold enough to just start now. Suzuki should do it... what do they have to lose at this point?

How's the power and highway ride? Anything to watch out for beyond the usual when buying one? It's not my first or even second bike, it's replacing a DOHC 650 Nighthawk that I found a little too big (although the engine on the bike was excellent)

my bike sometimes shuts down when downshifting to 1st,as this only happens at the beggining of the ride,i assume it happens because the bike is cold?

Early models had serious cam chain tensioner issues, but anything after 79 is usually fine. I cruised on the highway with mine constantly, with the longest single jaunt being going from SF to Portland in one go, which was nonstop at 80mph for 600 miles. It works great on the highway, and can do two up easily. These bikes are documented to go massive amounts of miles, and it was really fun.

Things to watch out for would be wonky electrics that have deteriorated, so check that everything works, if you hear anything funny sounding at the front of the motor, and other old bike stuff (fork seals being shot, carbs might need a clean, rusty gas tank). It was a really fun bike, you can get most parts for it and there's a decent aftermarket. I loved hustling mine through the Oregon hills and forests.

Oh and it's literally the easiest bike to do maintenance on. The valve covers pop up, and the valve adjusters are just right there and are screw type. The engine is interesting. It's a v twin with 4 valves per cylinder, but it's ohv and revs to 9.7k room.

Where can I get mirrors like this? I looked on eBay and they're all bike specific. I have a '98 XT350 and just want decent mirrors that will go around the bars. Bonus if they have wiring for in light turn signals.

Speaking of - does anyone have tips/resources on wiring in a new battery on a XT350? I'd like to put in a battery for the lights so it's not as hard on the stator if that's at thing.

I didn't see any clamp photos on the .pdf, so, combined with the mirrors being listed under different bikes, I figured they were for specific bikes that didn't need clamps.

WR Anon is a god amungst men.

That's some hektik lean

>>16942727
You just have to factor than into price. Like i got mine for 2k eur and after putting 500eur in it i still keep discovering fuck ups and who knows how long the engine will last.

But it's perfectly ride-able for weekend fun and if the new one costs 8k, i could buy 4 used, completely ride-able bikes.

IMHO the price of new bike is worth only when you're about to do the Darian gap or some race. Even then, you would need a 100% checkup. And getting a 500eur registrable frame with blown engine and a brand new engine for 4k, add 1..2k for other work and parts and you still get better deal than new bike for 100% reliable build.

That's if you have the money.. on the other hand it might be about having or not having a bike at all.

yeah but I'm the 125 anon

>>16941224
Have crashed while semi squiding. Gloves and jacket held up find. Jean's did not and I got some nice rash on my leg. Sneakers don't do shit. Fractured foot and twisted the fuck out of ankle.

Would not reccomend crashing without gear

No and no

WR are is... well WR

>>16942888
Aren't those 125's like teenager bikes? I it's not just the cc, but they are physically smaller. Wouldn't the handling and posture be messed up? Like knees hitting handlebars?

If i had reasons to limit me with 125cc, i'd get a Varadero or some larger sized maxi scooter. Maybe a KTM Duke, but it's not exactly a commuter...

>>16942923

>implying he's some retard on an R3

You really are new here.

>>16942934
You mean like 'we don't talk about this kin of stuff here' guy? Like everyone knows it but no one says it??!

>>16942951
Lurk moar

>>16942935
they are smaller than most bikes but not that small, nor I'm specially tall or something.

Yeah, I know a varadero would be nice, I don't want a scooter and the ktm is off budget and not that practical as you say.

>>16942951
Just lurk more.

>>16942951
Jesus Christ you dumb fuck, he's just some autistic German who constantly posted his shitbike and blogged about how shitty his life is non stop, that's it. Fucking lurk more.

Think I am going to get one of those Urals that have a sidecar in a few months, they look like tons of fun.

>>16942991
WR, it's bedtime for you.

>>16942982
Wow I got told this place is toxic, but that you actually make fun of someone or making him your icon because he has a mental disorder is pretty bad.

>>16942997
Fuck off.

>>16942997
The best thing is most of the people here don't own a bike :^).

You're fucked in the head. Fuck off!

Acetone mixed 50/50 with ATF. Soak it for an hour, then try again.

In garage.

With soviet stuff, you repair it more than you use it. Unless you replace the stock parts with ones you've built yourself to higher precision.

No wonder Jawa was most sought after bike in soviet union, and even not being from full CCCP member state it was a long way from Japanese reliability.

Everything that was good and precise was thrown into space and military.

>>16942935
So why exactly 125cc then? AFAIK you can get decent adult commuter bikes with good mileage in 250 and 500cc's. Even the gs500 meme.

>>16943098
I don't need it to be super reliable, it is a fun toy. The good thing about it being soviet is it will be piss easy to work on.

>>16943148
You know what makes a really fun and cool toy neither fun nor cool?

Turning the key and nothing happening because you bought a soviet piece of shit

>>16943182
>implying people don't buy motorcycles to take up garage space on a regular basis

>>16943148
>piss easy to work on
Just google "soviet bike reliability".
It's easy to diagnose single problem: e.g. gasoline, check, spark, check, compression check, must be fouled plug etc. When everything is slightly shit it's like looking for ghosts in all the places. Everything works.. kinda, but it wont run. Or runs like shit. And there is no definite problem.
