Why? No japanese maker produces a good dual sport that isn't old or weak as fuck.

>>17209065
They're all the same shit, also /dbt/, you faggot.

Who is the fooking faggot who dislikes KTM? go get back on yer ma's KLR650 and finger bang away and fag off in to the sunset you Fag.

>>17209371
Rather be a fah fingerbang mom than have a 14k bike that needs an oil change every 500 miles and spare parts cost 1000/mo to keep it running. Small price to pay for a ride that works.

that bike is over 17k faggot. you missed the KREFT Suspension as your a poor fag who rides a pw80. aside from oil and air filter changes its the most solid bike I have ever ridden. 100.00 a month is a number you pulled out of yer moms cooch.

>>17208903
I have a Duke 390 and that shits good. Don't listen to the meme shills. I personaly like Suzuki bikes but i was thinking about buying a 80 or 50cc dirt bike. a 500 is good for long trips or buy a 125 or 300 for short fuckery rides. KTM makes really good stuff and dont require any mods unlike other dirt bikes.

a used KTM 2 stoke or 4 stroke - as long as it was maintained should give you thousands of miles of happiness! Just make sure the person you buy it from actually took care of it.

>>17209396
Lmao poor

>>17209415
These bikes are like $11k OTD

>>17208903
Xr650r

>>17208903
That's an enduro bike if you want to go off road go for it. if you want to go on road go for a supermoto or just buy road tyres for it

>>17209431
>and dont require any mods
Just so false

>>17210344
A 500exc requires no mod to be street legal.

>>17208903
>longer rides
a ducati multistrada or a ktm 1200
look for superadventures now if your planning on doing track go for a scrambler

>>17210355
That's correct, but I feel like that's not what anon was saying

>>17210355
to make it less rough on the road he'd need some road tires

>>17210377
They come with street legal tires, if anything the tires it comes with are way too tame to be used in dirt. My friend just got one and first thing he did was change the tires to a 90/10 DOT approved dirt tires.

>>17210392
it's not that they're not street legal My first bike was a Honda XR125L because I live in Europe and they want you to be stuck on a slow piece of shit. The dirt tires made every ride bumpy as hell and unpleasant.

>>17210415
I should probably mention the last guy who owned it used it for super cross

>>17210430
>Air cooled 4t dual sport
>Used for supercross
No he didn't

>>17210451
bruh i can triple on a 8hp bike

>>17210344
you forgot
>unlike other dirt bikes.
they usually give a good exhaust, brakes, and shocks. the most you would need for a weekend would probably be saddle bags

>>17209431
He's definitely going to need a better seat at the very least

KTM makes the best bikes on the market right now hands down. At least the best engines. People who say they are unreliable are citing a meme from like 15 years ago.

My dad just bought a '17 500exc it's nice as fuck.

>>17210607
Not Standing up when you are going off road?

>>17210641
oP said it's mostly for hooning around on. That to me means street driving.

>>17210668
you dont know that what if OP lives in India where everything is dirt

>>17210597
And a seat, and new springs unless you are 150lb in gear. The same stuff you need on other dual sports

>>17210744
im 130lbs

Husky 701 would be a better choice.

>>17210876
Thats what I plan on getting soon, man it looks sweet. But i am part of the short masterrace of 5'7 with a 35inch inseam. If i lowered the bike an inch or two would I be able to flat floot one side?

>>17212878
If you swap supermoto tires onto it it should help.

>>17213834
Ah sorry i automically thought i mean the SM version when i typed that, I have sat on a 701 SM, but I could only tip toe it. If i left my left leg up on the peg and shifted my right cheek then i could flat foot it 3/4ths of the but I feel like that is kind of unsafe. Is it not?

>>17212878
wwoops i meant 28inch inseam

>>17214826
All you need is to be able to get a toe on the ground. Especially on a street bike, different story for a dirt nike

just got a wr250f, what boots do I buy? I dont want to spend $300 on a pair of boots, but after reading into it, anything sub $200 and you're better off wearing hiking shoes.

gotchya, thanks

>>17215412
Why didn't ou get a wr250r?

>>17215412
1) You're fucking stupid
2) strong reinforced leather boots are fine
3) Check your local craigslist alternative, some idiot bought $300 boots and hates riding so he's selling them for $85. Guaranteed.

>>17215713
couldn't find one on craigslist for under $4000. I got my bike for $2000
>>17215734
thanks mate, I've been looking at craigslist with no luck. I went to try on some $200 new boots for $80 but they were too narrow.

KTM dirtbikes are completely different animals to their road bikes. You're looking at race bike maintenance schedule / reliability with a 500exc. It's just too much work if you're doing any sort of long journeys or commuting.
