How satisfied are you with a **sensible** amount of power?

It'll beat the pants off anything American, and has decent aftermarket. But it's fundamentally a utilitarian concept. Goes fast enough to get out of trouble, too slow to race a straight line.


On reliability, I've heard of the standard electrical failures. Engine is supposed to be pretty good, but not like a 100k VFR/goldwing.
And they use the same in the cbr, cb500f, cb500x, and cmx500. You'll have spare parts as long as we keep burning petrol.

I'm personally considering the cbr500r for go-fast practice. Givi makes a full luggage set, so it can be a solid commuter, too.

What's your opinion on the cbr500r series? 89mpg on a 500, so maybe it's not pillon tier, but I think it's strong enough for anything that's not TX meme highways.


Also, tent picks? This wally world jobby is kinda heavy...

>>17373820

Prussia is a country that no longer exists because they scared the shit out of the rest of Europe for 2000 years. They are a cold, efficient people.
Americans say "protestant work ethic" to describe eating shit in a factory for life. Germans say "Prussian values" to describe working with the occasional break to sleep.


I'm not even actually afraid of being stranded. I just buy the engines I would have strived to design, instead of 20k rustbuckets.

Holy shit. Even if they are fucking thinfags, total weight is more than 500 kg probably close to 700kg, how rear arm is not breaking?

>>17374636
This list is correct.

Be aware that the god tier comes with a steep markup, best bang for the buck is the good tier.

My corner was waiting for me. We were approaching each other at speed. I could see her white lines ushering me around her
bend toward an invisible unknown. My steel mare's bold back tires complimented the grey asphalt. Her polished chrome
power-house, the only part of her that wasn't black, was grumbling ferociously beneath me. She liked to announce herself.
People would prep their umbrellas to the sound of her deep rumble in the distance, only to realise they had been fooled by
a 1 litre engine.

Her rider liked to dress accordingly. I was in full black from my leather shoes to my tight tee, gripping at my biceps. The
summers air caressed my arms with it's warmth, moving up over my shoulders and brushing past my neck. My vision was
dominated by a mighty blue Mediterranean sky and snapshots of woodland trees, spaced enough to allow glimpses into the
deeper wilderness. The forest floor was covered in fallen leaves, sticks and branches - A more than ideal arena for the
light footed creatures who bounced along with careful footing, though not as much for the winged members of this
environment who would crash into the leaves with a crunch.

I was now very near to the curve, closing in on her as man and machine rocketed forwards. All manner of questions began to
fill my mind. What would I find? Where did she lead to? What secrets was she keeping from me? None of her mysteries could
be discovered, not until the brief moments, the milliseconds that I was with her. Only under those circumstance would she
reveal the obstacles she had to present me with.

My mare was just now dipping her front tire into the corner. The world I was in before had vanished from me, as if it were
my imagination giving it life. It was now just me, my bike and the corner engaging in an intimate performance, no-guests-
allowed. I guess to put this into less romantic terms, I was experiencing tunnel vision.

1/3

>>17374663
2/3

I gripped my handle bars a little tighter, my eyes widened and my heartbeat picked up it's pace. I could feel adrenaline soothing my veins as I became hyper-focused. Now was the time to turn her. I slammed my bike onto it's side, wedging her jet-black rubber tires deep into the corner, and for a brief period I was weightless as my body dropped with the bike, and caught by centrifugal momentum. My face was now inches from the ground, I could count every individual rock embedded into the asphalt as the road zoomed past my vision. As if I was on my own personal roller coaster, my organs were left behind the rest of me as my buttocks -on account of the g-forces- were pushed into my seat, as if I were a jet fighter pilot.

It was at this point that I had realised I had been duped and deceived. My C-curve turned out to be an S curve. My mare was happily grumbling away, unaware we were leaning directly into the beautiful wilderness we were enjoying earlier. I took a sharp breath that felt icy cold, chilling the back of my throat as if I had minty chewing gum earlier. In an attempt to steer myself into safety I twisted my handlebars and threw my weight with them, but my bike was retarded - too heavy, she wouldn't lift in time, all the while her wheels are still chewing up the road inch by inch. There were only a couple of those inches left until we were all out of road, The brakes wouldn't stop me in time.

>>17374671
3/3


I think now is an appropriate time time to say that I am a firm believer in remaining calm until you are all out of options. In what may seem a nonsensical, even illogical move, I jammed open my throttle to max so hard, If my mare was grumbling before, she was now roaring as her engine was flooded with massive amounts of petrol, sending her rear tire into free-spin as it let out an unholy shriek. The entire bike seemed to rotate on the spot as if she were on tank-tracks turning in opposite directions. I struggled to hold onto her, my legs near flew out - only the grip of my hands kept me on her as she twisted herself into the new corner. Now both tires were screaming as they ripped the road. Wrinkled, flattened and smoking from the sheering torque they were put through. "ARGHH" I cried out in in excitement as we flew around the bend, the wind blowing through my hairs - cooling my scalp. Tears were rolling from the sides of my eyes and I slightly trembled either from the vibrations or the adrenaline being pumped around my body. "This is why I ride" I thought to myself as I looked back at the signature left by my tires. I continued down the woodland highway searching for the next adventure.

There is literally no benefit for off road, it only helps you on road by giving you a bit more room to lean the bike over in corners.

Full choke when cold. If it starts easy pushed but not cranking it's either weak spark or weak battery (not enough spark left over from running the starter to fire the plug).

Generally, with the choke on it should fire when cold. It won't be like FI where it fires in less than a second, but shouldn't be more than 4 or 5 seconds.

when on a bike I find it increadibly hard to ride in a boring fassion. Not to say I'm allways an angel in a car but I can go into a granny mode and be fine. With the bike however, even if I am riding conservitively I feel a constant pressure to go wild.

That's just a mental complex that can be reprogrammed. You could enjoy granny riding as much as you enjoy wild riding if you wanted to.

Has anyone ever noticed if you ever watch those compilation videos of "Cops vs Bikers" on Youtube, 50% of the time the guy gets pulled over for some stupid shit like "can't see license plate because of placement" or "you don't have the correct equipment"? Come on, guys. That's simple problems to take care of. Just get the proper shit and stop bitching that a cop pulled you over.

Of course the other 40% is cop bullshit of dubious nature and 10% is actual law breaking like speeding or wheelies.

then you have been riding shitty 4 strokes.
pic pulls just as hard up to 140kmh as that 300 and still has enough power left at that speed to get the front wheel in the air and it out pulls old mates yz250 in every gear even though both are geared 13/49.

2 strokes are fun and they are cheaper to maintain but in certain situations 4 strokes just have more usable power and engine braking is nice no one can deny that.

Buy real gloves, at least. The kit you named sounds like it's solely for abrasion resistance. Modern gear contains pads to minimize risk of fractured bone.

Don't be afraid to expand your stylistic horizon, too. I use a waxed cotton retro from Rev'it, a mesh tourer from sedici, and the raiden DKR for winter. Each has its purpose, because I don't give two shits about a speed hump.
I'd rather be warm/cool/dry than fast, on the street.

This is why 2 stroke fags are the worst. Last time I rode with one IRL he was talking about how the previous owner put in harder hitting power bands. I thought he was joking at first but he really thought a power band was a part.

Reminder 4 strokes make more power across the entire rev range.

Well my current gear is a frank thomas textile jacket, Merlin boots, alpinestar gloves, triumph jeans and an Arai QV-pro helmet. I'm just feeling a change to something a bit sportier because I'm "that guy"

Yes

I live in Wisconsin near Milwaukee. 9/10 motorcycles I see are H-D and among most bikers Harley is love Harley is life.

I don't know why but suddenly I want to get a Harley...it must be something they're putting in the beer.

Should I blow it all on a Z1000SX?

Or be sensible and get an older sports tourer for £2000-3000?

Hey wisco bro. If you get one, make sure it's not your only motorcycle. I guess it doesn't really matter though since there's no fun roads around here anyway....

>>17375110
more like "i need oil fast so i buy 4 bottles of the premium shit at the gas station"

>>17375217
not him but there are fun roads. you just have to go looking for them and don't expect crazy corners.

my long time favorite road is riding up to holy hill. it's a nice view and the road is gently sweeping with straights.

Tall enough to brace your ankle properly, instead of just covering it.
Hiking boots are designed "for support," meaning they only need to cradle the joint. Proper work/combat boots are tall enough to use as a compression brace.
7" or higher is best.
Related; lineup of combat boots (meh), wildfire boots (okay), and the real deal, next to some standard-hiker size hightops for comparison.
See how they're at least a tongue length apart?

>You must be riding with some retarded kids then
The dude was in his 30s but yeah he's not too bright. He was on a stock KDX200.
>Ride a 2stroke bike, especially a mx bike
dun did. rode a YZ250.
>you will understand what i mean
yeah it's kind of fun for a moment when you get on the pipe and it really punches. after the first time it's really just annoying to have to deal with the retarded power delivery.

I have fun on my 450 on which I can give a light blip of the throttle at any rpm and instantly feel it.

>>17375240
Combat boot saved my leg. They were nice tanker boots and still have the bolt imprints.

>>17375311
Even the standard ones are solid. The one in centre is just so fresh because I literally never needed the second (goretex) pair they issued me.
My girlfriend gave goodwill the wrong ones... I was going to get them resoled and everything...

>>17375329
>>17375311

are army surplus boots an ok alternative to motorcycle boots?

>>17375410
For commuting and moving around, okay.
For traveling and long trips I would get some motorcycle boots.

>>17375240
Yea I see that, thanks for the info

I have a friend whos getting a 2+ 1- sprocket change on his FZ9 because he can't get his wheel up. Told him to practice, but hes convinced he needs this. How much more torque is this gonna add guys? I see a looped bike in his near future.

fuck you thats already MY dream bike.

Watched that video before as well.

resto mods are so fucking sexy, nothing like a 30something years old bike with brembos and öhlins.

What do for first bike? I think I'm only interested in cruisers so I've only really looked at the Honda Rebel.

>>17375487
If you get a cruiser don't get a rebel or any 250-300 or what ever. You are going to want some thing a little bigger or you'll spend a lot of time trying to keep up with traffic and blowing around on the interstate.

>>17375487
The new ones are kinda cute. I have a honda cruiser and it's a good lil dd

>>17375499
>This
Any cruiser under 1000cc isn't really worth it

>want to be like Ryan Gosling in The Town Beyond the Pines

What bike should I get to do highway speeds on, and do offroading stuff for when I rob small town banks?

>>17375508
Not necessarily you can stick a new rider on a big boy pig fat bike, but thats a lot of weigh to be moving around if you new. I think some thing like a shadow 750 or like a magna 750 would be a great first bike. They have enough grunt to keep you entertained and aren't terrible heavy. Magna is like 450-500 and shadow is close to 600 I think.

>>17375518
>Town Beyond the Pines
the bike in the movie is an XR650 iirc

>>17375522
Sure. But I won't even entertain a cruiser under 1000cc. It's pointless really

Oh please that shadow is slow, but the magna has a detuned VFR750 engine in it. Runs like a 4.4sec 0-60 and a 11.5sec quarter mile. That would keep the average rider entertained in my opinion.

>>17375499
Lmao this is exactly what I was considering for a first bike

Its a great bike was my first and I still have it. Its currently getting an engine rebuild by one of my dads friends because he likes doing that stuff. Normally ride the FZ now a days though

>tfw my odometer doesnt work

Ah well

>>17375518
>The Town Beyond the Pines

its THE PLACE beyond the pines and he rides a XR650 or some 2-stroke made to look like a XR650 in some scenes

>>17375147
Na bro, I've seen R6 wobble but most guys regain control

Some guys completely dump their bikes and they slide, they might be new though

>>17375684
It's an XR650R, and at some point a DRZ400E, but when he's riding off road they used a two stroke sound and on road they used a 600cc i4 sound. It really bothered my autism.

setting your idle high will help

also reminds me of something
>lost key to my dirt bike when going trail riding
>dirt bikes close the circuit to shut off so I can allow the bike to run anyway simply by unplugging the key switch
>only now i don't have a kill switch to shut the bike off
>only way to shut it off is to stall it
>sometimes when I pop the clutch at a standstill to stall the bike it just chugs along digging up mud instead of stalling
>450 powa
I love this bike. Shame it runs so hot and needs a lot of maintenance.

>>17375487
If you can find an 80's shadow, I highly recommend. Very low-maintenance.

Thinking about picking up a cheap little shitbike for hooning and general fun/fuckery, these two are really the only ones that aren't straight dirtbikes in my area, what does /dbt/ think?

https://delaware.craigslist.org/mcy/6169765200.html
This one I saw him post before asking $1800 but I could probably offer $1500 at the start

https://delaware.craigslist.org/mcy/6125038384.html
I could probably open with the same offer for this I'd imagine

Funny, I work at a Motorrad dealer and got hit by a car while riding our demo NineT just last saturday. The engine is fine. Scraped from where it hit the pavement and slid, and the other valve cover has a bunch of paint from the soccermom SUV bumper that hit me. It just left service and the engine is seriously fine. It's already back out in our demo lineup. Pretty impressed with it.

>>17376949
You sure that wasn't just the manufacturer trying to see how well it holds up to a crash?
