>>17139128
It's not stupid. Motorcycles emit more particulates, CO, and NOx than cars. You know, literal poison gases at street level.

What's stupid is not even letting motorcycles filter to the front of red lights so they just sit there, idling through traffic along with the monster trucks, holding up additional cars so they just sit there and idle, because "all motor vehicles are the same and must abide by the same rules".

You can't even park your bike wherever it fits and does not obstruct traffic, but if it has pedals instead of pistons, go ahead, lean it against whatever the fuck you want because it's not a motor vehicle!

You'll have more fun on a dual sport or a supermoto while being just as fast and having lower insurance.

>>17139359
That is kinda weird but it's probably geared for a much lower top speed so the drop in RPM between gears won't be as dramatic as it seems. Plus the redline is probably higher than all of those as well

Meh, little engines rev to the moon and you need to manipulate the gearing to get them to go anywhere.

Indeed it is. And I have enough experience on it to know that it is not nearly as fun as a supermoto in any capacity except for maybe long distance rides.

>a ninja 300 is faster around a track than a wr250x
Depends on the track. Faster tracks maybe, slower tracks it's no contest. The WR is faster to ~60mph than the ninja 300.

People don't buy either of those bikes to go fast around a track anyway, unless its a kart track, in which case the WR250 is much faster around the track.

But we're talking about a new rider here, not track time bench racing. For a new rider a WR250 or a DRZ is a MUCH better first bike.

>>17139479
>0-60 times
>mattering on a track
opinion disregarded

the ONLY place a WR250X is as fast as a ninja 300 is on a supermoto track. People race DRZ400SM against us on ninjas in certain classes and they get fucking dumped on, even at Sonoma, which is a track that favors handling.

I'm talking about actual racing, because I actually race them lol, you're the one bench racing a bike you don't even own.

Is a WR250X more fun than a ninja 300? That's a matter of opinion, and depends on where you're riding it.

Is a WR250X as fast as a ninja 300? Only on a supermoto track or 0-60, and that's simply a fact. It's less aerodynamic so it will lose out at higher speeds, and not as good in faster corners.

>>mattering on a track

It does matter if your track never gets you much faster than 60mph, then any advantage in speed a Ninja has beyond that is completely useless. See:
>depends on the track

>the ONLY place a WR250X is as fast as a ninja 300 is on a supermoto track.
Which is the primary place a new rider will actually take his bike to a track, especially if he buys a supermoto. If he buys a Ninja he'll probably ride it for 6 months on the street then realize how big of a mistake he made and get something better.

>People race DRZ400SM against us on ninjas in certain classes and they get fucking dumped on, even at Sonoma, which is a track that favors handling.
Clearly the higher speed bike is going to have the advantage on faster tracks. But why the fuck would you buy a 300cc ninja and track prep it to take it to the track. 600c bikes are a dime a dozen and much more worth the time and effort.

And track times are irrelevant. the question was about a first bike. Ninja 300's are shit first bikes compared to a good dual sport or a supermoto.

>>17139479
>For a new rider a WR250 or a DRZ is a MUCH better first bike.
only if you can flat-foot it. and even then, the taller seat height makes the bike objectively harder to learn on than a bike with a lower center of gravity.

>>17139517
>600c bikes are a dime a dozen and much more worth the time and effort.
600cc bikes are WAY more expensive to run on track than a ninja 300, you have no idea what you're talking about. this conversation is over lol, you haven't done anything but cry about how 300's are useless despite your own admission that they're faster in anything but parking lot-tier corners

>>17139518

the 6r is on the heavier end of the 600's though, and weighs as much as the new cbr1000rr

on a more open track though the higher power will just walk a 300 with no problem, and potentially out handle them as well with much better out of the box suspension, brakes, and electronics

>>17139560
it's not just flat footing though. at pre-countersteer speeds, it's much more difficult to balance on a bike with a higher center of gravity. with the rider being such a huge component of the bike's overall weight, where your weight is distributed plays a big part in low-speed handling.

But balancing and turning my WR is easy as shit at parking lot speeds with feet up. And its lighter than a ninja 300 is. And it has all that available steering lock.

If you cant afford tires for a 600 you have no business riding on a track period.

600's have the same amount of maintenence and only slightly more expensive tires than a 300cc shitbike and are significantly more suited for the track than some 300 you're going to need to blow a couple thousand on just to get the suspension and brakes up to par.

>>17139611
>You lay a bike down at speed its going to get fucked up no matter what
no, not at all actually. frame sliders might save you $900 in the parking lot if you're inept enough to drop your bike (toppest fucking kek if that's still a consideration for you, 2bqh), but they can also be the difference between replacing an engine cover, plastics, and handlebars, and having literally your entire bike totaled.

>>17139632
Please enlighten as to why you think a 600 is somehow significantly more expensive to take to the track than a 300 shitbike.

Yet more clues that this retard has no idea what he's talking about:

>only slightly more expensive tires than a 300cc shitbike
If you weren't a casual newbike, you would know that you have to replace tires on a 600 far more often than on a 300

>blow a couple thousand on just to get the suspension and brakes up to par.
Cartridge emulators for the fork, aftermarket shock, and springs are well under $1k, and upgraded brake pads and a stainless line are about $100

the more you post, the more it's apparent that you are totally clueless and should jump out the nearest window immediately

>>17139637
>not having insurance
>people never knock over bikes in parking lots

$40 is cheap insurance for the latter and having motorcycle insurance is no brainer insurance for the former.

Also your hypothesizing about what will happen to a bike with sliders in a high speed crash is not based in reality. Most bikes that go down at speed slide on their side with or without sliders. If the crash is bad enough to catch a tire and cause a tumble, the bike is fucked with or without sliders.

Cool imagination and shit opinion tho.

>>17139644
I'm talking about track bikes, not people who own one bike and go to the track once a year:

-tires are ~$40 more and you'll need a new rear way more often

-600 uses way more gas

-twice as many front brake pads, need to be replaced more often as well

-going faster so if you crash it's probably going to get a lot more fucked up

>>17139658
>Proving my point: The post.

Dude is okay spending significant amounts on a shit tier bike instead of just buying a practically track ready 600 for the same money that is faster and handles better. Then tries to complain about the insignificant amount of money it takes to tire a 600.

It's cool that you like shit pseudo """sport""" bikes bro. But that doesn't change the fact that they are slow and useless on the road and on the track.

If less than $100 is going to break you so much you have to take a shit bike to the track, maybe you shouldn't take your bike to the track.

>>17139579
In reality the best thing a 300 has going for it in tight shit is probably the skinny rear tire making them turn really easily. It's one of the things that makes SV650s easier to ride than 600s too and those are heavier than a 600.

>>17139749
go look at pictures of track bikes. why do the vast majority of them display a conspicuous lack of frame sliders? these aren't joe bro fair weather riders like yourself, they have put in major time and hours into bikes and have personally seen and experienced more crashes than you have most likely watched on youtube. they don't use frame sliders, in an environment with smoother, more consistent pavement than you will find on most any public road.

i don't know how to break through to you with logic, but this should probably tell you something.

>>17139720
I do both. I like road racing and I also like supermoto. They're different. Different styles, different techniques, different ways to improve skill. Both fun but not the same.

It's not projection. You've proven in your last dozen or so posts that you are totally clueless, your opinions are not based in any sort of reality, but more likely your need to feel superior to your roommate and random people you don't know on the internet. I also don't "need citations" (lol) for something that anyone who's been to a track more than a handful of times knows. I also find it funny that you asked me to post a pic of me on the track, and I've posted several, but you don't have any of yourself (probably because you've never been on one in your life).

Why are supermoto-fags so obsessed with believing everyone else should have a supermoto? Why do they spend every fucking thread arguing about the same 3 shitbikes?

>>17139794
>Inferred proof is not proof anon. Also, my R6 is not a track bike. Your point is moot.
the point is not moot because your bike does not have magical physical properties simply because you do not ride on the track. i'm not going to play your redditese cherry picking argument game. the greatest irony is that for all your chest-beating you haven't yourself offered a single ounce of proof.

Funnily enough my room mate seriously regrets his purchase after riding my bike.

Fact is you got super defensive because you have some strange queer fascination with slow shit sportbikes. I gave someone advice on a first bike and you went full autismo talking about 300s on a track. Then I ahd to point out to you that there reallly is no reason to take a 300 to the track because you can get quality 600cc sportbikes for cheap that are more capable and more suited without extensive modifications.

This then further sent you down your autism sprial.

Like I said before, It's cool you like shit bikes. It doesn't change the fact that they are shit and there are far better options.

The sv650 is not heavier than a 600. It is significantly lighter.

>>17140229
Yeah the back tread does look a bit dull.
I'm just wondering why he's selling it for so low. It runs "pretty well" but says it's in great shape and just needs time spent riding it because it's been sitting. Rear drum brakes worry me a bit as a new rider and I may have to replace them at some point.
I doubt he'll let it go for cheaper than listed but maybe he'll see someone who's willing to take care of the bike and ride it full time as opposed to someone older and less active.
I'm in a bind and my cage needs more work than it's worth to pass inspection so I'm selling it for hopefully enough money to float me.

Guys I just need a quick confirmation, I'm buying some brembo road and track pads for my fz8 but the pads are for an fz1. I know the fz1/8 are pretty much the same and they both share the same sumitomo calipers as the old gen r1s. I shouldnt have any issues installing them should I?

The only way I can usually determine if a biker is a girl is tight pants and big thighs/butt, hair coming out from under the helmet or pink/flowery gear.

So don't wear tight pants, have short hear and look more edgy.

>>17141350
By being straight.

>>17141344
I know the owner and it is his old bike, he said it has been getting sparing use for the past 4 years in favor of his newer bike, however everything seems to be in working order. I have only rode it a little bit though.

>>17141350
Not him, but it's yet another shitty old rat bike hard tail.
You couldn't pay me to ride that, shit will make you a paraplegic.

What dirt bike should I look for for my GF?

She's 5'5" and I want something that she can touch the ground on without having to get the suspension worked, but she already rides a street bike so I don't want something anemic. No two strokes for this first one because I don't want to scare her away from it.

XR100 is smol but prolly slow as piss, XR 250 and 400 are full sized. KLR250 maybe?

>>17141610
klx140 if dirt only

>>17141497
yeah if its designed correctly. any old Y shaped pipe probably wont work, the runners need to be a certain length to phase the exhaust pulses correctly for maximum scavenging

>>17141616
I was looking at those too.
I forget about the TTR 125 and 225 though which are probably perfect.

>Letting your gf ride
I was looking at buying my gf a cheap bike as a surprise present so she could ride with me but got to scared. I have no idea why. I've ridden at 270kmph+ many times before. Every weekend I treat the Twisties like isle of Man and never think twice, never worry, never feel anxious.

When I found a good bike to buy her I got overwhelmed with fear that she'd fall off or get bit by a car and it hit me that this is what she feels. Whenever I go visit my parents my mom tells me not to mention bikes cause it makes her worry and I always thought she was too paranoid but now I understand.

Get your girl something small and safe, and make sure you buy her all the best gear.

>>17141722
How bad was the puncture? I got a screw in a brand new tyres (literally 2 days old just my luck) and wanted a quick fix. Shop couldn't pick it up till the next day but I wanted to ride so told them dw senpai. I just pumped it to 48 psi at the gas station and rode like hell down the highway for 25 mins to the local shop.

wouldn't hold air at all, was already sagging by the time I put my gloves on. Tried screwing the screw in further, didn't hold air any better.

>>17141722
You can patch it yourself as a TEMPORARY fix. Shops use a mushroom plug. They take the Tyre off, cut a hole. Pull a plug through. Shave it off. That's a full fix. I had one on a brand new tire and it lasted the life of it, shop charged 40$

>>17141737
It's a tubeless dual sport, would I have to worry about it popping under impact or are they sturdy enough to ride around on?
