If all you do is commute on the poor thing, why does the displacement matter at all. It could be a 650, and you wouldn't ride any different.

True but in that regard id buy a aftermarket set of fairings, save the oem ones and cut into the aftermarket ones for fitment.

>>17426321
They're upgrades the dealer will put on. I don't think they were quite that much since you can get a bit off of that sort of stuff, if you bundle them in with the bike.

Why don´t I believe you?

>>17425935
So I've had my license for about two months, and my sv650 for 1.5

I want to do trackdays but I'm concerned about like insurance and stuff, and wrecking my bike. The tracks near me don't open until october because Arizona is a hellhole and heatstroke is a problem, so it's not an immediate concern, but can any anons give me info about how insurance affects things on the track? I honestly have no idea.

Also, considering saving money to buy a shitty ninja 300 off craigslist, changing the rearsets and putting on clip ons and stuff, specifically for the track. Good idea or no?

>>17426588
Get a track bike just for the track. Register it as non op and don't get insurance for it. Make sure it's cheap enough that if it ends up in little pieces you won't be too sad.

Nice bike. You obviously have impeccable taste because you opted out of going for a toxic green
or some other shitty colour scheme propagated by american man-children

>>17426652
Chicken strips automatically disqualify you from talking about being a good rider.
The only exceptions are chicken strips accompanied by scraped pegs.

Post holy bikes

Is there any real reason to get a litre bike over a 600?

>>17426300
Chicken strips don't mean shit. You can do corners just fine without having to lean over your bike to the max.

How fast do you go to do max lean?

Is this bad? Is this a sign that the valves need adjusting, or not something to worry about?

>>17426680
That is on the tube between the carburetor and the engine, btw.

>>17426679
Found the guy who can't corner.

Max lean is max turning radius for a given speed. You don't have to go a certain speed to get to it, you're just a chickenshit and haven't actually had the balls to go properly fast.

>inb4 I have a sportbike and there's like 60 degrees of lean I can't hit that on public roads
You can and I have, quit being a bitch.

>>17426684
>>17426680
Carb boot is leaking. Replace it.

>>17426677
Not really. They're better for drag racing, and sometimes they have extra bits like electronic suspension. Power wise, it's realllyyy hard to use even all of the power a 600 gives you on the street.

>>17426690
>Max lean is max turning radius for a given speed

>>17426677
Currently trying to go from a higher cc bike to a 600.
The 600 is actually faster, still going to lower my insurance because of the smaller number.
Now, do I want a 1000 of the same bike, yes. But the 600 would do me good, and it's much cheaper.

>>17426736
>the 600 is actually faster
You're objectively wrong in every way, shape, and form.

>>17426743
Read the post next time. He's talking about his current bike vs 600 supersport. He's probably got some cruiser or something.

>>17426743
But it is.
It literally has more bhp and a higher top speed.
Not by much. But I'm also trying to go to a 10yo newer bike.

What is the best liter bike and why is it the H2?

>Here's some people not having chickenstrips under 100mph

I could also have no chicken strips if I leaned in the opposite direction of the turn.

Watch yammie he even goes into that type of fake chicken-stripping.

To turn at a tight angle you could do it by leaning your body instead of your bike, keeping it reasonably upright. If you needed it any tighter you could then lean the bike a bit more during the turn.

>>17426714
Fucking amazing. Please ffs adjust your camera angle though. You cant even see the bike on the first corner.

>>17426736
You want a litre bike for no other reason than having a litre bike. There is no objective reason to own one and it's probably way too powerful for your skill.

>>17426747
Not a cruiser but not a supersport.
If I can I'm going to try to keep it along with the 600

>>17426760
No you won't
Chicken strips is uncooked sidewall, a part of the tyre that not only is never used, but also is never used hard

Also that BP is suicidal over 30 so gl fag

>>17426760

hey, I bought my first bike yesterday, the blue SV I was looking at. it's cute!
I want to ride it but don't have insurance yet and got up at 16:00 anyway so it's about to get dark.

do you guys roll with minimum liability, or more? pay up front, or monthly?

>>17426760
No, but nice try.

Leaning body into the corner DOES increase cornerspeed for a given lean angle, however this also increases max lean angle. Therefore you're still a cuck if you have chicken strips.

Using all of your tire while leaning off gives max turning speed. People who lean off that can't use all their tire decided that they should waste time trying to be like rossi instead of actually learning their bike's capabilities and, as such, are fucking slowfags compared to anyone who isn't some dumb streetsquid who bought a cheap liter and putts around on highways all day.

>>17426770
I want it cause the liter is faster.
And I can, and have, used the power before.
Murrica, gotta love straight roads.
But it is most likely above my skill level, I'm also not an idiot and this isn't even close to my first bike.

Reporting for duty

If you want a liter bike then buy it. If you let retards on dbt tell you what to buy or not then you are also a retard who should take responsibility for their own life.

Liter bike power will not disappoint you, who cares if you're not making the most out of your machine or 'will never reach its limits', efficiency autism is just an excuse for people upset at people who can buy nice things.

I have $500 000 liability, not likely you'd need more than that on a bike unless you run over a brain surgeons hands or something. I think minimum where I live is 250 000 so it's a bit over that.

I have comprehensive for theft and vandalism and shit, but no damage coverage because if I crash I'd just repair it myself instead of claim it and watch my insurance rate spike.

Just tested the bike after having changed the oil. Put it into all of it's gears to let the oil soak in.

Also tried some corners. Something weird happens when I lean , the bike seems to suddenly drop but there is no loss of traction (im guessing because I am not going fast at all) so what is that drop feeling?

because the italians know their market - people who mostly commute and do a track day every now and then

japan builds sportbikes like they're track only affairs, style and comfort be damned, and then gives us SEA scooter looking things that were clearly not designed for western tastes for anything else

Sena is unironically the best, sorry

>>17427110
They go through stuff like the engine mount bolts so yeah, it's just bolt on, maybe drill holes in the plastics so it'll fit

B you run the risk of damaging the frame/subframe in situations where you would have just totaled the fairings and clutch/crank covers instead. Consider what you'd prefer installing - new framework or new/repaired cosmetics

>>17426538
They are renowned for being one of the worst dirt bikes ever built.
Have a good look into it, BMW thought they could re invent the wheel when they made that bike and the result was a horrid piece of shit that got them laughed out of the endurance world with so much embarrassment that they never even tried again.

>>17427267
I got a cheap chinese knockoff from Amazon. They work pretty well as long as you're closish to eachother. Starts to get staticy at like 150m. Just wish they went louder because when you're doing 160km/h and trying to listen you pretty much have to duck behind the windscreen to hear what the other guy is saying.

They hook up to Sena's, but can't join a conference call thing of Sena's. So you can talk one on one but not have a 3 way+ voice call. If everybody has these cheep ones you can do like 6 or 8 people at once.

>>17427287

As an avid MV fag, the new F4s aren't """bad""" persay. the chassis and everything is actually really good as far as modern liters are concerned. the real issue comes in with the fueling, which is absolutely fucking godawful (someone please post the literbikes dyno) and the electronics which are primitive.

Other than that they're great bikes. Expect to have to do regular maintenance though because MV Agusta doesn't believe in threadlock.

I've bought a 450 of the same generation (literally the same bike minus 6mm bore, and goes for around the same price), rebuilt the top end, replaced all external bearings, and redone/upgraded all the lighting and wiring to make it roadworthy in the US for under $4k.
It was a bit of an exaggeration, I suppose. It's not technically a full rebuild and doesn't have 17" wheels but it's a ""racing"" dirt bike made fresh enough to trust way more than a husky, and can be ridden on the road if he wishes.
If i had skipped the lighting/electrical upgrades and not broken my clutch I probably could have got a set of meme wheels and still came in around $4k if I desired.

I must admit I've not ridden the husqvarna and can't say how well the KTM compares, but I wouldn't want to spend my money on a rare bike with possible parts availability issues.

The only way you are getting a 525 for a low enough price to rebuild is to get a fucking wet noodle framed 03/04 with the shit 3 bushing forks.

Devils cabbage should only be involved while washing your baiku.
Or while listening to DSotM
Or both at the same time

>>17428759
Yeah. But any cunt can pretend to be older than they actually are much like yourself.

>>17428386
To be fair it has it's moments.

But sure, they throw too much stupid shit in there for you to take. The 'car wash' bit was painful.

Wouldn't that front fender make an absolute mess of things at speed? I'm thinking of you turning the wheel one side and it wanting to stay there, of turning full lock while the wind laughs like a film villain.

Anyone try a Hyosung or Daelim before? How did it compare to other bikes you've ridden?

You'd be hard pressed to find a liter bike that actually is 1000cc

>>17428798
No liter should be 1000ccs because the theoretical best motorbike engine is 999ccs

>>17428761
V-twins can't possibly sound like tractors because tractors use diesels and tractors use various configurations of inline engines.

Can't decide whether to like or dislike the sound of triples, lads.

You have now noticed how hard it wants to be a 4 banger, but it ain't

>>17428792
>Hyosung is rebadged Suzuki
They just copied some of the SV engine.

The Hyosun 650 is very heavy and slow in comparison. The wiring is shit as well. The whole bike just reeks of cheap when you get into it and compare it to a Japanese machine.

>>17428816
Nah, it sounds much more grumbling to begin with.

>>17426561
It's extremely spergy. Probably not worth being in.

>no mom it's not a phase
Stop being an edgy contrarian, it's pretty much an accepted truth that the best sounding engines are italian v2s and v4s

VFR's unique sound has nothing to do with the engine, but rather with its gear driven cams

>>17428821
Eeeeeh, looks like a cyclops with the headlight up.
