[ D a i l y B i k e T h r e a d ] - /dbt/

hey faggots, so I currently ride a GSXR 1000 which I really enjoy. I am planning on transitioning from street riding to more laissez-faire dirt bike/dual sport/neighborhoodfuckaround type of riding and am trying to figure out how displacement exactly works in the world of dirt bikes

It looks like most are about 250-400 in displacement but how does that translate to speed and torque? I imagine they are a lot torquier and being lighter they feel pretty responsive.

But then again, I have never ridden one. So I have no idea. Would I be happy with a KX250F?

Are you actively trying to be a nuisance?

>>17149403
He wants to whoolie through the neighborhood, menacing children and old women. He will be know as...That dickhead with the dirtbike.

>>17149403
nah, it's a wide open cul de sac type neighborhood with houses very far apart. i am not bothering anyone. i could just ride with my bros that are afraid of land jets

>>17149425
acquire friends with testicles

Weather is garbage again today.
So three back roads will be flooding even more.
Guess I'll break out the truck today :/

>>17149425
You are away that 20 feet extra between houses aren't going to make a difference to the noise level of a brappy dirt bike, right?

>>17149425
>wants a dirt bike for a suburb
Noise, stigma. Literally why. Get a dual sport or something that might actually still work on a road/highway.

>>17149425
Buy a dirt bike and go ride in the dirt, not in a neighborhood, where you have kids playing, people walking their dogs, nosy old people, etc. All of the above won't hesitate to call the cops and ruin your day.

>>17149397
Does it need to be street legal?

If so, drz400sm if on a budget, if you've got cash get a husqvarna/ktm/aprillia/beta. All make some deadly fast dual sports.

If not street legal, just get any 450cc mx bike, or a 250cc two stroke. You will get bored with a 250 4 stroke coming off a liter bike.


Also your kind of an ass if you think ripping through a residential area doing hektik whoolies on a dirtbike is an acceptable thing.

Hello guys, so this is happening near where I live:
https://www.messe.no/no/MCmessen/
It's marketed as a "rolling MC-gathering" where most if not all producers in Norway are present. They say it's marketed not just for the MC-folks, but also for the general public. You will be able to test-ride stuff there. I was hoping to get a good look at Kawasaki, Honda, and Yamaha. Now the real question:
>how to I attend this without looking like a complete retard

I really want to take a look at the Ninja 250, and some other bikes like it. I'd also like to look at some Suzuki Intruders.

My limitations:
>under 4K USD, although hoping to buy used anyway
>less than 48HP (can be downtuned to 48HP as well, but that's less than ideal)
>either cruiser, streetbike (or whatever you call them, the ones that look like the Ninja), or supermoto.

Dos and dont's?

Buy a bike with a passenger seat before you even start trying.

>>17149788
Hell, I'm actually autistic and got a wife, have an autistic son. So, it's possible.

Motorcycles won't get you chicks directly, but they are an assist to a social life of sorts, which makes it easier to learn to be social ('cause practice makes perfect) which will help alot.

>>17149762
What exactly are you asking?

>>17149791
>MSF exams
There's a written portion?

Do you have a booklet? Just read the booklet through between now and then. Don't try to memorize anything, just read through.

>>17149811
I hope your son dies and she's fucking niggers while you're at work

>>17149799
So Feng Shui.

Feng Shui advises you move your bed away from the wall, to allow your conceptial future spouse to get on her side of the bed. Buying a bike with a comfy passenger seat and a closeout size small helmet would be the same, I would think.

>>17149835
Wow, jelly of my happy home life. Sad!

>>17149845
No. Just a firm believer in strengthening the gene pool. I feel it should be law to euthanize retarted children

>>17149861
You was once a retarded children. And look at you now! You have become a proud retarded man.

>>17149861
By failing to reproduce, you are strengthening the gene pool yourself, I see.

>>17149827
yeah there's a 50 question test (I believe it's multiple choice, not 100% sure) and the basic skills evaluation where you ride the bike and get tested

>>17149612
no, it doesn't need to be street legal. this is mainly for backyard fucking around. that is what i was worried about. i really like the power of my 1000 so i want something similar in a dirt bike

>>17149907
I started riding the touge, and wherever I got to a turnout or overlook or wherever guys would stop, I would stop too. I found that MC guys are happy to talk while we both look at the bike and not each other, which made it easier for my autistic self. Also, I made an effort to look people in the face an remember faces and names, which was the hardest as I have some form of mild face-blindness.

Anyway, after some practice, I got to where I could have a conversation.

Back then (this was 12 years ago) there was an online dating site that was known for artsy girls. I figured artsy grills would be more accepting. I guess now it would be tindr or something.

So for about a year I was writing women on the site, and my social life was weekend "hey you like them shorty levers?" kind of conversations.

I learned that the best thing with the dating was to get to a first meet, like for coffee, as soon as possible. I went on a LOT of first dates with no second. I didn't want to try and push for someone to like me if they just didn't.

Eventually I met a sweet, very well educated writer who was perfectly OK with my weird self. She says now that she thought the motorcycle thing was manly, so I guess that worked.

It literally went like: We agreed to meet in the afternoon at a bar, we met, neither one ran away, we had a second date (dinner! Woo!), then a third, etc. I was just my weird self the whole time. This was like the fiftieth grill I met, I was used to endless first dates and not worried.

Now we have a kid, and he's getting all the help and services I didn't get when I was growing up, lucky little guy

>>17150022
Yah, I know nothing of Tindr. But the old nerve.com dating site is gone, gone, gone. and I wouldn't know what is current, as I am happily married etc.

Where are the artsy firls these days? wherever that is, that's where your little autist self wants to be.

I mean artsy as actual artists, writers, creative types.

>>17150022

>>17150033
yeah but it's alright if you're just trying to get sum fuk, or want something to do while taking a shit

>>17150050

If you want non-normie you gotta use OKC.
That's equally a shit show though. Even ugly chicks get hundreds of messages a day.

>>17150087
OKC is mostly for freaks and kinks. If you want a normal female you have to grind through tinder. Get tinder plus, and just swipe everyone right, and pick and chose from your matches.

It's a numbers game.

Point is, be autistic self, because you want someone who isn't bothered by your autistic self.

Not really, though they do exist there. OKC is basically just anyone slightly undesirable (aka non-normie) as far as I could tell.
I had Tinder Plus and OKC A List about six months ago and actually met a couple girls from each.

Okay, guys. It's the end of the work week, time to let off some steam and post your unpopular bikepinions.

I think pointy tails look fucking clownish and ruin the look of many motorcycles. I can still sorta understand them on sport bikes even though they're still overstated in many cases, but on naked bikes or standard bikes they're completely ugly.

>>17150583
>Noice, have fun and don't break your drive shaft. Again.
Or the brake lines, any other part I hope.

I will not be coming to the SEM, can't get any days off during the summer. All my co-workers have kids, so they almost demand me taking days off in the off-season.

>>17150380
For what purpose

>>17150441

That's a damn shame. I'll be near the NL/DE border in August, still undecided whether to share the car with mum and sis or if I should take the bike for shits and giggles.

>>17150590

Sportsters are much smaller, by about 200lbs. Engines and transmission are unitized on a sportster and the drive is on the right hand side. Sportsters are generally a stiffer bike with a smaller motor.

Dynas are a larger frame, 650lbs or so. Transmissions are bolted to the motor but come off if you need to service them. Larger gas tanks 5gallon. Larger motors, larger front ends and squishier suspension stock.

I've never felt lacking in power besides maybe at 70mph+. It wouldn't exactly make a track dominating supermoto or anything, but it's perfectly sufficient for 90% of in town and off road riding. I really feel like horsepower is a little overrated when it comes to bikes. I've had just as much fun on 15hp bikes and 90hp bikes.

All close. XR650L, so basically the same bike anyway.

>All other things being equal, more power is better.

Absolutely true, which is why you see guys put hundreds to thousands of dollars into squeezing an extra 5-15hp out of bikes that they love. I would never say no to more power for free, but torks and the actual power / torque curves / how the bike puts that power to the road seems to matter more on a bike than pure numbers.

I can still wheelie my fat red pig plenty easy.

For me it's not so much about the power or torque specifically, I just like the long rev range and wide power band to play with. From 2-6k I've got a quiet, smooth, easy to handle bike, from 6-10k it's got great torque, power when you need it, wheelies when you want them, and from 10-14k it's screaming, spitting, pulling the front wheel up every time you touch the throttle.

Nigger what?
The R is just as bulletproof, although doesn't have the E start or subframe you would want for an adv conversion, and has rads you can fuck up. The R is called the Big Red Pig everywhere. It doesn't make any fucking sense, but that's how it is.

>>17151061
Average male height in the USA is 5'10" with a standard deviation of 4", therefore if you're over 5'6" you're average.

>>17150646
As someone who has traveled across many parts of the US and driven hundreds of miles in 4 different regions I can tell you the roads vary massively. They become twisty near mountains and forests and when it flattens out ie Ohio etc it is nothing but straight lines.

Near coasts is twisty too but Florida is a rare exception where it is all straight roads for days

>>17151068
>>17151078

I stand corrected. I was under the impression the R was a lot more maintenance heavy than the L.

At any rate, I'd buy an R if they still made them and you could still buy the E-start kits. Not really sure why they discontinued them.

>>17151078

I know you are short as fuck yourself, but don't think 1,6m for males is average.

The thing is easy as fuck to kick start. C-fab or somesuch makes a new e-start kit but it requires machining work and it's really not worth the effort and extra weight when a properly tuned XRR will start 2nd or 3rd kick cold and 1st kick hot

You can also gift it to me.

How do I get over my fear of wheelies?

I know exactly how to pull my bikes front up off the ground, but every time it starts to climb into the air, I pussy out and let off the throttle. Every now and then when I decide to race some boyracer off a stop light I accidentally pull the front wheel 6-18" off the ground and it makes me shit my pants every time.

I'm terrified of going over backwards. What do?

>>17151691

nigga try harder

>>17151691
Nice excuse, tard

>>17151699
practice on a bycicle

>>17151697
But I want it sold or totaled out.

Also, anyone know how to do insurance fraud on a motorcycle? Can I just bail out and let it roll off a cliff?

>>17151719
But why?

>>17151516
It's been dropped, I wouldn't touch it.

>>17151723
Fell in love with the looks, but it just doesn't fit my riding style at all. The only time I like it is when I'm off the bike looking at it.

Start by only doing small ones.

>>17151733
Then just sell it for lower than market price.

It's a very good first bike. Best purchase I've made, literally have been at my happiest in years for the last few weeks and I've been having some stressful shit going on for a few months now. Motorcycling has finally taken it all off my mind, been getting better sleep lately after riding too.

Yes. I have this, but I want a second bike, which would be a Goldwing 1500 '88. I am going to buy it when the summer is over here (Finland here). I just need that comfy bike, going to ride it alone too. KTM 690 is a god machine, it is like riding a wild horse.

>>17151757
Post your car and your local CL and we will find a bike you can afford, tard man.

I can't sell my car to someone when it doesn't have a driver side airbag. I'm going to have to sell it to salvage.
I've been scouring CL for weeks now.

Isn't it backyard tuners who makes those? His shop is down and the qualifying races are this month

>>17151948
I made the cursed ones.

>>17151904
It's true though fucktard
KitKat just sold his Honduhh that needed work and the guy bought it and reached back out saying "Hur I'm gonna sue you the bike wasn't in good condition" and literally nothing came of it
You aren't an auto manufacturer or a dealership, you can't get in trouble for selling a car with flaws

>>17151948
BT doesn't make shit
the originals, that make you die, were done by some anon here.

>>17151949

Alright, fuck it.

I'm going to buy a Honda Magna 750 or V65, whichever I can find first for the right price.

Then I'm going to drive it around like an asshole until I highside and die.

>>17152024
V-4 sounds will soothe your urges. You are going to be all right.

DON'T DO IT

the bike melts camshafts and valves

>>17152121

Isn't the VFR engine supposed to be fucking great? I thought only the earlier VF versions had the shitty cam.

i have a 125, and when i give it full speed for some time and then slow down, like going from the highway into a city, then it kinda jerks like it stops getting gas or like water in carb feel, then gets back to normal

like full speed to 3/4 then it jerks and then back to 3/4 gas
