I'm thinking about it.

>>17152399
i've only heard stuff about the 1800's, but they're supposed to be extremely comfortable for both the rider and the pillion.

Y/N?

>>17152399
Quite comfy and also buttery smooth, but lacking in the handling department, especially for that vintage.

>>17152419
no

>>17152431

How are they maintenance and reliability wise?

I'm looking for something for doing 100-1000 mile cruises on, so handling isn't a huge deal as long as I'm not going to fling myself off the side of a mountain pass or something.

>>17152419
Dorsoduro is literally $6000 less.

>>17152447
>not ducati,

>>17152440
never had one but it's not uncommon to find goldwings with 100k miles on them. A 35 year old bike with 10k miles probably spent most of it's life sitting though, so I wouldn't expect it to be the most mechanically sound thing in the world.

Why?
>>17152447
Friend with a Dorso has had nothing but issues with it and Aprilia.

I have no idea what to think about mileage on bikes.

There are bikes with 5k, 15k, 25k, and 45k miles that are all equally clean looking and will all start, run, and ride with no issues. How do you get an idea of when the bike is going to need major work? How do you know what mileage is safe to buy at what price?

What do people think of the Cleveland CycleWerks bikes? Saw one today and the guy was telling me he loved his.

>>17152440
They're pretty good for maintenance if it's been taken care of, when my dad had his it was very reliable (mind you that was 15 years ago). It depends a lot on how the previous owner/owners treated it. But those bikes are good for at least 120k miles.

>>17152505
>Buying a 4 season jacket
>not buying 15 different jackets to specifically suit each and every weather condition you might face

>>17152515
Every bike is different. Buying a gsxr with 40k miles on it is idiotic but grabbing a touring bike with that is completely fine.

>>17152505
Should've just bought one summer and one winter jacket.

>>17152514
1000$ valve adjustments every 7k miles

Better pray it doesnt break.

>>17152505
What jacket?
My shitty 4 season is warm enough in winter with the layer on and bearable in the hot of the summer with the vents open.

>small looks better but is ever so slightly annoyingly tight across the back/chest when reaching
>medium is comfy as fuck but looks a little bit more like a garbage bag

I think I'm going to keep the medium because the small would be uncomfortable with 2-3 layers under it.

>>17152528

How's the average standard, cruiser, or touring bike with 20-30k? I've been avoiding them because the bike I have now has a 25k clutch life and a 35-40k top end life, but I know all bikes are different. I don't have enough experience to know what bikes / engines last how long.

help /dbt/
how long do sellers typically wait to lower the price of a car if it's not selling, because mine's certainly not selling

I'd do it if I knew the guy and it was well cared for.
Most bikes will last 100k miles if you don't abuse them.

>>17152560
Maintenance and type of riding matters way more than just mileage as a number. 20-30k is fine if it looks like it's been taken care of. Old dudes that put 20k on in 10 years but still changed the oil every 1000 miles are the best.

>>17152497
>>17152528

Sounds good, I might pick one up. There are a couple GL1100 for sale near me for $2000-2600 which seems fair.

Most touring, cruiser, or even sport touring bike should go well past 60k miles without much work as long as its taken care of and not abused.

yeah, it was alright.
i didnt like it too much in the open wind due to the size and weird spoilers made it hard to look around comfortably.

it was fairly noisy as well, i switched up to an arai xd4 and i love it.
if you have a good windscreen or wont be in the wind over 70mph too much its pretty good and breathes ok. otherwise id go for something sleeker

>>17152834
I find my Variant very comfortable, but you're right about the noise. I think mine is stained from a month of constant 100F sweat and dust on the TAT. The liner felt like it was covered in sticky clay when I arrived in CA, feels fine after I washed it but looks gross.

They're screens are unbelievably shit. They have a killer anti-fog coating that when it wears away reveals that the factory scratched the shit out of the visor to let it adhere. At least the visors are cheap.

Wind noise is huge, ventilation is shit and the padding is ok.

no, just don't swerve all the way across the track or brake in the middle of a straight or something

just be predictable

Check out Gold Wing forums for questions on any specific machine. This is not a Gold Wing forum.

They aren't bad to maintain IF they are in good shape. If you do timing belts doing the water pump while there is a good idea.

Gold Wing forums have what you need to know. I've gotten plenty of flogged Wings trashed by idiots running after long neglect.

The fuse holders for glass fuses on early Wings are shit and loosen. I'd replace with a blade fuse block if loose.

Get or download a FACTORY service manual.

Asked yesterday but gots no response.

Gonna teach myself to ride tomorrow, the bikes a 1600cc Harley with forward controls and 12" apehangers. The bikes out in the country the road is gravel, the driveway is dirt and the lawn is well.. grass.

How fucked am I on a scale of 1 to 11?

Any tips?

To the immediate right of the driveway is a hill, sort of steep, no run up just turn and you're going up a hill.

To the other side a hill going down into a valley.

>>17153326
not too bothered about speed, just want something fun to cruise around on. Plus dont have a bike licence so when i do i cant get anything too strong

I've really been mirin the the SV650 recently. It's just within price range for something that looks decent and apparently won't try too hard to kill me.

i just replaced my clutch pack, and now my clutch cable seems too loose. no matter where i adjust it, my clutch lever is completely loose. ordered a new one, and if that doesn't fix it, i'll be lost. never had this happen before

Fucking retards on Craigslist. I was literally offering to stuff money into the guys hand and he held out for a dude from out of state that needed a loan for a $2k bike.

Like, I'm happy with what I bought, but still a little disappointed at this shit.

In other news, I bought a restored GL1100 Gold Wing (the non fairing version).

On the other hand, I didn't buy a low mileage Honda Magna 750. So, no V4 feels for now.

Nothing much. Tried to ride over clockum to get to Wenatchee. Ran into some snow and thought nothing of it. Took a blind corner under trees too fast and hit ice. Fucking ruined the day. Was able to get down to 10mph-ish before letting it go. Kinda pissed. I should have had armor but I've been holding out for alt-rider and they are backordered.

I may have bent the handlebars. I think they are misaligned but I honestly got back, washed it and put it away. Works has been super busy this week.

How's the bike otherwise? Felt comfortable on the trip? Trust it? What mileage are you at? Are you going OEM or going to rebuild it?

Got skid plate, lower engine bars and rear brake reservoir cover. Don't know what I want on the upper bars. The HBs black Dog sells and works with their lowers have not really sold me on them.

Going up Coleman canyon on the loop the CRF250 couldn't keep up on the uphill section and couldn't eat the tank trap bumps (2 to 3 foot tall) at the 40+mph speeds we were doing. The AT impressed me. It ate that shit up for breakfast.

>>17154056

I don't imagine it being pleasant but I figured if I take my time and practice one step at a time. Like spend a few hours until me and the friction zone of the bike are intimately involved, then move on to a short 10 foot go and stop, power walk the bike in a turn, 10 foot go and stop again, keep doing that until its 100% smooth, then throw in a turn...

Just keep adding on a piece until I'm going I figure.. getting it up that hill from the driveway is gonna hurt, it's a turn into a hill with zero run up, soon as you turn you're climbing...

I was on it a little bit before and when it starts going it lightens up really well but stall it and the whole front end collapses and the handlebars twist and the bike wants to tumble.. hard on the legs to try and keep it up.

Whats the best dual sport?

>>17154085

yeah, no hiccups at all, just a mysterious clunk when i jump it which is probably some shit i had packed in/on it.
goign to do skf seals since the oem ones arent a tight enough fit and get shit caught in them easily which is why they leak now, just clicked over to 5400 miles.

and research your bars, some uppers and lowers may not be compatible because of needed mounting points. so far the givi bars haf been good to me and the MV plate was just updated to fit with them, HB bars im not too keen on since guys have had them crack cases open in crashes already.
and get some bar guards on there too, barkbusters has a direct fit kit, otherwise go with some cycras since theyre some of the toughests ones ive found

WR250R has enough power to cruise on the freeway without issue and actually has a wider gear ratio spread than bikes like the DRZ400, KLR650, DR650, etc.

And it's motor is smoother and requires less maintenance.

>>17154102
Yea. I dunno. I really really want the ALT-Rider set up but the backorder is fucking ridiculous. Are they not in seattle? I am going over to I90-Motorsports next week to have the 600 mile service and once over. After that I will be doing most myself. Just figured first service and because of the drop i'd have another set of eyes. They also wanted to check valves as they have had to do adjustments on ATs in the past.

The problem with the ALT-rider is that they are proprietary as fuck so the skidplate and lower bars would have to be replaced to go with theirs.

Realistically was the damage to the case something that would have happened anyways or was it really a design flaw? Speed? Type of wreck?

Yea I'm gonna go with the barkbusters. Also might replace bar anyways for some rise.

How are you liking your tires? Model? Super Mefos have been ok rear, front can't get traction to save my life. Both standing and seated, even in the high teens on pressure while off-road. The angles on the AT leave the front end very light. I have not put gear on yet but I am worried with anything substantial with current tire set up I will have worse traction. I must admit I have not played much with the fork settings yet.

Acerbis are good. So are the Cycras. Acerbis has a wider range of looks and generally look better. The Cycras are usually cheaper though so most people get them.

>>17154355
If you're a manlet and you can flat foot a 300 shitbike, you can flat foot a 250 dual sport. Especially considering most have built in seat height adjustment where you can lower them an inch.

A dual sport is better at pretending to be a dirt bike than a 300cc """sportbike""" will ever be pretending to be a real sportbike.

They're fine, more partial to the RC390 myself, but have friends that race R3's and they like them well enough. Also echo-ing that you probably shouldn't buy it new unless you have to. Resale is shit and trade-in is worse.

Take a class (if you haven't already). Get good gear. Ride the piss out of it. Learn to carry corner speed. Find a kart track that does small displacement bike track days. Learn to wring every bit of performance out of it. Turn it into a race bike. Join your local race club. Buy a middle weight. Do the same thing. Buy a liter bike. Don't die.

Commute about an hour total a day. Day trips are usually 200-500 miles, but I once rode from Carlsbad, CA to Portland, OR in a day. It was fine until I crossed into Oregon and it rained from basically the border to Portland.

depends on the bike, depends on the road. I can put in a 200+ mile day on my Panigale if the road is twisty enough to keep me from thinking about how fucked up I feel. But yea, at the end I'm pretty wrecked.

Put in 400+ on my Multistrada two weeks ago, and wanted to take a 150-ish mile detour to hit some other twisty roads but we were losing the light and I don't fuck around with deer.

I just ride. A lot. I gave up having a car three years ago and bought a second bike instead. No regrets. I only need like 1 or 7 more bikes and then maybe I'll feel complete...

Giving out free trips to Gensokyo?

commute half hour each way. Sometimes run out during lunch with the excuse of going to see customers so that i can get some more riding time.

At track. Lineup so far:

>Supermoto kid

>>17154574
No, superbikes are superbikes. Sport bikes are sport bikes.

A 300cc single cylinder or parallel twin faired beginner bike is not a sport bike.

>>17154585
>altered suspension, brakes, ergos, gearing, etc.
>all the shit that makes beginner bikes terrible sport bike imitations

No. just because people race modified beginner bikes turned race bikes does not make your shitty beginner bike a real sportbike.

Body position is just as if not more important on a supermoto. You're essentially changing up three different body positions through a turn.

Stop talking about shit you are clueless on.

>>17154760
>a couple grandpa tier bikes and a supermoto
what exactly about a bunch of shitbikes at the track is "interesting"

id rather watch a bunch of 600/1000 go around than some shitty harley and a CB500

>>17154769
someone's awfully defensive, did an R3 owner fuck your girlfriend?

>>17154760
most American tracks are built for cars first and bikes second, and a nearly mile long front straight is terribly boring on a small displacement bike.

Check with your local race clubs, see if a kart track runs small displacement track days/events.

why dont you post some more webms of you going through a corner at 5 mph

You do not ride anything like that on any other type of bike, only similarities are to offroad riding.

>any other bike
>banging multiple downshifts and dumping clutch slowly to slide rear wheel into turn
>hitting a turn crossed up
>foot out pushing bike down

lol you literally have no idea what you're talking about.

are you seriously saying riding a supermoto is the same as riding any other bike? Have you ever seen/ridden supermoto?

>>17154816

people do this on sportbikes, not like you would know or anything, being a new rider and all

Only difference is you move to the inside of the seat and put your knee out instead of your foot. Lots of people even do that on supermotos in faster corners.

Both of you need to git gud

>>17154829
>>17154830
>people do this on sportbikes
People have slipper clutches on sportbikes so hard and rapid downshifts DON'T upset the rear end into a turn. Again, proving you have no idea what you're talking about.

>not like you would know or anything, being a new rider and all
Says the guy who rides a beginner bike and thinks he's top shit. lel. I've been riding for 11 or so years no, try again.

Post more of your chinkshit wheels and your beginner bike so I can laughing at you more.

>>17154837
Supermotos ride outside of seat, on the tank, foot out, elbows up.

Any other bike you ride inside of seat, knee out, body forward, elbows down.

>its exactly the same
>except its completely different

You literally knew nothing about how to ride supermoto last night now youre pretending to be an expert. Tippy top lols.

>>17154840
People do it with normal clutches too lol. If it's upsetting the rear end, it's because you're letting it out too fast. Slip it by not just dumping it all at once like you do on a supermoto.

Also I ride a ducati...

>>17154840
>riding for 11 years
If you started riding at an early enough age to be a good rider after 11 years, you're too young to post on 4chan. GTFO

>>17154844
I wasnt even here last night lol

>>17154846
>People do it with normal clutches too
only bikes that dont have slipper clutches are old sportbikes that didnt have the technology available and shitty beginner bikes faggots like to pretend are sports bikes.

Almost all real modern sports bikes have slipper clutches. You are wrong, and hilariously so.

>>17154850
even the ninja 300 has a slipper clutch. wrong again lel

>>17154848
What are you even trying to say? Please think before you type.

>>17154852
>even the ninja 300 has a slipper clutch
Having a slipper clutch doesnt make a bike a sport bike.

Dumping the clutch on a sport bike to get wheel slip into a turn is not something people do. In fact sport bikes are engineered with slipper clutches specifically so they don't do this.

Get a wire wheel attachment for your dripp to knock it off.

Use phosphoric acid to neutralize the rust into black iron phosphate. Then paint and re-wrap.

>>17154863
you didn't know that fiberglass exhaust wrap traps heat and moisture?

the rear sliding is a byproduct nof being on the brakes unloading the rear and making a turn. Riders in MotoGP do not "back in" their bikes inorder to get them turned around acorner faster. Them sliding into the corner is a byproduct of riding fast.

The fact that you think this is analogous to supermoto backing the bike into the turn intentionally on the clutch shows just how little you know.

Same is true on a supermoto

>>17154912
see:
>>17154910


Just because people slide sport bikes into corners on the brakes does not mean sportbike riding is the same as supermoto or that they are intentionally doing it to go faster. Sliding in is a byproduct of going fast, not an intentional action meant to get the bike turned into a corner and around the track faster.

try again.

>>17154913
you can see his fingers on the brake lever you idiot lmfao

fucking reddit in my /dbt/. i'm going to bed, you shitters will figure it out someday

>>17154922
>Same is true on a supermoto
Wrong. Supermoto slides into a turn to get the bike turned. This is an intentional action.

A sportbike on the brakes with the unloaded rear sliding is not intentional, it is a byproduct of riding fasta nd at the edge of traction.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

>>17154913
You mean the bike is clearly under compression lock causing the rear end to slide out?
