most recent spill was grabbin some brakes on a manhole cover in the rain in a hospital car park
there are worse places to take a fall I guess

most serious was swerving to avoid some children dashing into the road to gett their football from the other side
they fucked off once I went down, luckly passers by called an ambulance
sprained ankle, nothing serious

Don't get one. As much as they look like a piece of art the reliability is shocking. A guy I know brought one - within the first three months of owning it (and only 2,000ks on the clock) it went back to the workshop twice (three weeks each time).

>>16975836
Power output aside, the dragster definitely has a larger rear tyre (200) and the geometery I think is slightly different, if not the swingarm then you sit slightly further forward on the dragster and more "in" the bike if that makes sense. The steering isn't as quick on the dragster.

>You mean the gsxs?
The current gsxs is more closely related to the GSXR1000K5 in terms of engine. Frame I am not so sure about all I know is the engine is slightly detuned and without the titanium valves. It wouldnt make commercial sense for Suzuki to release a naked GSXR1000R so soon as to price is competitively with the other super nakeds they would have to sell at 2/3's the price of the GSXR

>>16975972
>suitable spring rates for Americans
Tungsten springs are really expensive.

What tyres pressure is everyone running for full throttle knee dragging through Twisties? My tyres are getting chewed up/blistering pretty quick. They were at 34f,36r hot temp. Should I go lower?
>TFW don't want to die on under inflated tyres

They are gripping 100% perfect, never slid. Just someone mentioned bubbling is from over inflation..

So you want to go in a straight line really fast? Buy a V-Max faggit. Litre bikes are terrible for the road, coming from someone who owns one.

>>16975983
>I always wondered how well they actually sold?
In the UK sales are strong, in fact the majority of people who buy them are moving away from litre sports, to litre supernaked. I think the predator uses the 2007 blade engine? The MT-10 uses the 2008 R1 engine.

If you aren't doing trackdays, or only doing 1-2 a year get the supernaked, if your riding is 70% or more on track then get a sportsbike.

>>16975999
>If you aren't doing trackdays, or only doing 1-2 a year get the supernaked, if your riding is 70% or more on track then get a sportsbike

Can you help me with my bike? It is an 800cc Suzuki Intruder now called plain ole "S-50". Suzuki is now using the "Cubic-Inch" as a means to measuring engine size. I really didn't know, when I was shopping, how big the engine was until I used this Conversion Table and for conversion purposes, one may go to the second row of the second column to determine CC engine volume size. Suzuki possibly should have named this bike "S-49", as 49 Cubic Inches translates into 805 CC's.

Psychologically, I know I have issues with my right turns too, but they were more easily and successfully overcome on the lighter 250cc NightHawks that I was trained and tested on.

I was glad to learn that the steering geometry is different for my bike than that of the Nighhawks. Still, I like the Nighthawk's geometry much better, lol, because it's easier to steer and control them. It's good to know that I don't have to reach for the handlebars on my bike, so size wise, that's okay.

I will not expect the engine to run mirror-smooth on the highway. But, question: "Is it normal for motorbikes to have to whine at a much, much higher RPM on the highway, in final gear (5th on my bike), than when running at regular city-traffic speeds"? That, in itself, is somewhat incomprehensible to me, let alone the feelings of the wind rushing on by and blowing my body backwards, the extremely loud whistling in my ears, and the vision of the rapid whizzing by of the pavement beneath my feet. I am so proud of myself that I didn't scream "Mummeeee!!!" during my short stint. I wonder if that highway has rain grooves carved into it, enhancing the rough ride feeling at 50 MPH? It rains alot here in South Quebec, but, I dunno.

>>16976329
As far as footwork, I was taught to put the left foot down first after a complete stop, then the other foot. When I am trying to make my hard right turn, up a little hill, that's when I feel psychologically abnormal and physically unbalanced. I am going hard-right, and elevating up, so I think I feel I am going to flip over like a turtle on this hill, it being the height of a speed bump, lol, but nevertheless, the grade of the street goes up steeply, right at this turn, so both feet go into dog-paddle mode, lol, cuz I psychologically feel like the bike will fall to the right and backwards, leaving me upside down, wheels (heels) to the wind, and it inadvertantly adorning me of a 443 pound chastity belt, and, even though my playdough may be arranged somewhat differently, in either case, it would be squashed, and I happen to be very fond of my playdough.

After I am acclimated and get my steering technique on this bike perfected, I will opt for a small windshield to be installed before I try to go on the highway again. The Suzuki model windshield costs 227 bucks. Yikes!!! As I have never shopped for motorcycle accessories before, I don't know what brands or which items would fit my bike. I am thinking of buying an electrical accessory for the bike, but I don't know what...I just know I have a spare electrical connection at the fuse box to do so. Is there anything electric that will help me on the highway?

1) ride moar

3) left foot down first after complete stop? Only right foot, so you can still shift with the left.
4) get some heated grips

>>16976505
Same problem as me.
In short they can jump off. When it gets bad you will start feeling it slip off. You can tighten the chain a bit more and ride in slower to get it to last slightly longer.

Get a new sprocket.

You should always change both.

Thinking about selling my 12 monster 796 and getting a 1200s. How much does it cost to ship a bike from Florida/Georgia to New York?

>>16976511
yeah getting it all changed next week.

Just wondering if i should hold off riding it or of will probably be alright until then.

I'd like to travel about 20 miles to have a look at a motorcycle dealer in the city next to me.

>>16976540

About tree fiddy. It mildly depends on the bike/how early you schedule, etc, but if shops on eBay can offer nation wide shipping for 400 bucks I wouldnt wager up the coast to be much more than that.

>>16976544
is the chain loose?

>>16976540
I work for a freight shipping company. Price depends if the bike is being shipped to a residential or business, can you get the crate off the trailer of the semi yourself or will you need a liftgate? So you want insurance? On average I see bikes and atv s shipped for $500 to 800.

>>16976552
no, it was but I tightened it.

Only problem seems to be worn down teeth on rear sprocket but I dont 'feel' any problems when I ride.

>>16976561
well if your rear wheel is properly aligned and the chain is properly tightened it most likely won't just jump off, id avoid gunning it though.

Can't tell if this bike looks fucking ugly or not. The windshield is massive.

Whats with the belt drive?

Why not get the F800R?

SAM update when? Haven't heard anything since the location and date poll

>>16976583

Windscreen is probably aftermarket

I think the newer GT version looks a bit better, but I am also partial to the R types.

how recommendable is an R3 as a first bike? i honestly really don't like the look of ninjas and God damn the R3 is fucking gorgeous. at 300cc is it an okay bike to learn on?

400 lbs. Dry. That's about a hundred lbs more than it ought to be.

Also, looks like JP may be out of business... Store website down, no new bikes since 2015. So forget getting parts. Which means as soon as the bike breaks something, it's done. Need a new clutch cable? Done. Throw it out.

just sat on a sport bike for the first time ever and it was extremely uncomfortable. It was an F800S. My legs were extremely cramped and I was hunched up, and had to hold my headup as i was bent forwards.
