Opinion discarded.

>>17100584
If you crash on a track you mostly just slide and that's it. You don't need to worry about hitting trees, barriers and other shit. Maybe just a bike, but that's unlikely.
So yes, you're at your limits, but going over them isn't that dangerous as you most likely can just get up without any injuries. On the road the same crash might kill you from hitting the road barrier.

I will too kit kat. I'm moving to CA in a few months for work once I finish school. I'm really gonna miss the twisty forest roads and weapon laws here.

Though I am looking forward to the CA motorcycle laws and riding weather. That'll be awesome.

>>17100939
Idk about gloves but you should ditch the pistol and ride with a sawed off in a saddle bag. It's more aesthetic

>>17100970
The pistol I can take to school though and everywhere else I ride, I can't take a sawed off shotgun. Also no saddle bags.

Are perfectly legal, converting a shotgun into a sawed off shotgun without the proper paperwork and fees is a felony.

Nice bike. My dad has that engine in his flstc

>>17101161

If you're ever stuck on identifying a Harley just remember,

External suspension, swingarm, transmission bolted to motor, oil pan = dyna
Sub-shock style hidden suspension, entire ass of bike pivots, transmission and oil tank are separate from engine = softtail

Large frame with lots of bodywork attach points, big fairing, hard bags, body work, swingarm, external suspension = touring frame

right side sprocket/pulley, transmission and motor are one unit, swingarm suspension = sportster

a burly moped = street 500,750, street rod

ridden by a pakistani or east indian gentleman = vrod

There now you can identify most harleys at a glance

prob 90 mins - 120 mins if they know what they are doing. maybe less. it's a fucking pain in the ass, i can tell you that much. depends if they are valved or not (they prob are if they have pre-load/dampening settings). my ninja 250 forks are nothing but springs and oil and that was a fucking pain in the balls.

Its luck and hypervigilance. Remember some bullshit left over broken windshield safety glass or pea gravel off a truck on a curve will toss your ass and your bike into the guard rail so there is always that luck portion.

"Streetfighter" style motorcycles with strong engines and a competent chassis, yet an upright seating position have become popular in the past few years. Are there any affordable options of similar bikes from ~10 years ago? Seems like all the bikes from that time with upright ergos all have spaghetti chassis.

No, you have a normal MT-07 which you think makes it an FZ-07 because you're fucking retarded and never noticed you live in the only country on Earth that needs factory restricted cuckbike versions.

>>17102297
I ride in any weather above freezing I just wear a jacket and gloves. My bike has a headlight cowling and thats it. I am not uncomfortable except that nasty wind that gets under my helmet if I don't keep it tucked.

You might have a point about aerodynamics but honestly a highway commute in 35 degree weather is not a day on the track no matter what you ride.

Not like you are wearing shorts and a tank top to work when its cold even with fairing.

Comfort is irrelevant on a bike. Nobody rides to be comfy thats what cages are for.

What if they made a bike that was Less than 300lbs, made about 30horsepower, had 10 inches of suspension travel, got 70 miles per gallon and only needed 3 valve clearance checks in 100,000 miles.

Guys what if it only needed oil changes every 3000 miles and had a top speed of around 100mph.

Seriously guys, what if it could cruise on the freeway and keep up with traffic at like 80mph without any trouble.

What if it had high quality upside down forks and an aluminum perimeter frame chassis

What if it was fuel injected and smooth at highway speeds with linear power delivery.

Question:

Have any of you dealt with making returns to Revzilla?

I bought a pair of inexpensive summer gloves from them (Joe Rocket Velocity 2s) but they came in with a bunch of loose threads and the palm and upper were coming apart by the wrist.

I'm starting the return/exchange process but I read that you have to pay shipping back to them. Do they honestly force you to pay for a return when they sent a damaged product, or do they wave that crap in these cases?

Waiting for a reply from them but I wanted to see if you all have messed with this before.

>>17102410

Efi, except for bikes around the early 2000's where the carbs were much more refined

It doesn't.
Though the big bang firing order can make the throttle response different from an inline engine.

>>17102682
an I4 can make lots of power earlier in the rev range at the cost of top end, which it could easily have

an I2/V2 can make lots of power earlier in the rev range, but not a lot of top end without revving to death

a torquey I4 would be a wasted I4, and a V4 is just a repacked I4 that you only see used on a luxury sportbike ("sport tourer"? i wouldn't tour on that over a bagged down FJR) for the sake of packaging and novelty.

Sportbikes have long wheelbases and small steering lock angles. They corner better at high speed for it, but they're harder to get to corner at all.

A sportbike can't even do a simple low speed turn as well as a dual sport unless you apply counterintuitive technique

If you put a shit sportbike rider on a supermoto he'd probably smash all his friends on the toegay

>>17103012
I think it's also because there is only a certain practical speed you can corner in and maintain traction at in a curve. Also groups tend to go slower than individuals.

Just a dual sport will be at WOT.

Also the KLR650 in particular has excellent steering geometry and so it corners better than it really ought to for a dual sport.

I've ridden both. Started with little dirt bike, then dual sport, then supersport. The supersport is by far easier to corner at normal road speeds than a dual sport. I just think dirt riding and the riding style of dual sports is much more encouraging for people to actually learn to ride properly than a supersport.
Steering lock really only matters if you're doing uturns or trying to fit the bike in a really tight spot sideways.

I don't think the retro aesthetic became popular yet but 80s cruisers are the best

80s bikes in general are the best

What is /dbt/ opinion on Hayabusa? Aside from the meme-ness of the bike, is this a good bang for the buck?

Honestly considering moving into one from Honda CBR600RR.

Dirtbike/chainsawmotor/rednecks need not reply.

sure, if you:
>are fat
>are a nigger
>can't turn
>are a fat fucking nigger who can't turn
go ahead, buy a hayabusa

The "chickenstrip" meme is one of the most tiring ones on this place. Pic related is what my sportbike is primarly used for. Fuck off, StreetRossi wannabes.

>>17103371
Word. It's just like a guy who buys a 911, just because he likes to have something fast. Its a "sports car" but you don't necessarily need to go to the track to use it. Why not just commute in one, if that's what you like?

The hayabusa was literally inspired in its design by muscular black men

>>17103261
Seems like too much motor for that style of bike.

>>17103261
wheelie machine, pretty fun to ride

GSXS is more sportbike-ish

Sorry I was out riding. They're all H7's so 55W each.

It's an Aprilia Tuono 1000 R

>>17103361
Very fast bike, but I think the ZX14R handles better.

your tires are underinflated or your shocks have too much preload

>>17103361
I'm in about the same position and as far as I can tell you're quite right. Great sport-tourer and everyday road bike (unless your everyday riding is filtering at walking pace or dirt or something like that.).

hang on, I'm /dbt/ and I said they do the job but I prefer sport tyres and I don't buy s/t or that reason.

>>17103492
>pilot road 4

Damn could have at least gone for angel GT.

anyway I find sport touring tyres are counter intuitively more temperature sensitive than sport tyres, once you get S/T tyres cooked they grip quite well, you just need to keep them up temp.
