Why did they use a bird?
They arent light, agile, or fast.

I have ContiAttack SM's on my 701, which are nice, but I ride my bike just about every day so I want something that lasts longer.

I've heard good things about Michelin Pilot Road tires. Thoughts? Other suggestions?

Do you mean while stopped? Transmissions don't always like to shift when stopped and the clutch pulled in, let it out just to the friction point where you start to feel it pull forward and it should pop in.

>>17664922
Anyone have that save from the beginning of this season (I think it was Baz in Texas but not sure) where he was pretty much sitting his ass on the ground?

>>17664926
That's normally what I do, but I still could not get it out of 4th today.

>>17664933
what bike?

Asked this in the last thread with no help, what do you guys think of the 2016 cbr1000r SP? some guy is selling one near me.

>>17664924
Oh holy shit. I always thought that was a shoop.

pretty bad compared to the competition. got updated in 2017, that's probably why he's selling it

>>17664954
no, but from what ive read online the pre2017 fireblade is really smooth and easy to ride on public roads, lots of people say its lacking power. Just asking if the extra sp money is worth it desu.

The 2016 was a pretty comfy bike that was good for street riding but miles behind it's competitors, if you're really curious wait for firebladeanon to show up and ask him.

>>17664984
Sounds like brain damage to me

>>17664971
A new one?

I'd honestly be surprised if something was bent as long as it hasn't been thrashed. Try moving it back and forth a bit while jamming on the shifter a bunch.

>>17664993
Brain damage is being a 2+bike faggot instead of just doing more situps and squats so you can be comfy on a sportbike.

Anyone have experience securing a bike to apartment porch? I may chain it to the water meter. There are also anchor points that one could put into the concrete, but I don't know how pissed the complex management would be. Any suggestions?

Pic for attention

Any eurofags/ukfag deal with insurance companies? I got my full A licence but with no riding experience and I was wondering what kinda bike would insurance allow me to get.

>>17665000
>being poor

>>17665012
it's more like buying a ride-on mower when you need to mow one field and a small front yard instead of 2 mowers for each job. The ride on one can do the small one, and excel at the big field.

>>17665036
No. A riding mower is practical.
A sport bike is not. Hence the jet.

>>17665031
Just ask the property manager if you can out an anchor in the lot, and offer to have it refilled when you move out.

>>17665041
A sportbike is practical for sport riding.

>>17665041
Its practical when youre not commuting, like in the twisties.
Not everyone wants 2 bikes anon, and some of us arent weak like you and can commute on a sportsbike.

>>17665012
I would daily the shit out of a jet if I could afford it, but I can't so I daily a superbike.

>>17665047
So not on the street.
Correct.
A jet is practical for flying. Not trimming grass.

>>17664997
I'm the second owner but I've only put about 1000 miles on it for a total of just over 6k. I did have a nasty habit of resting my foot on the shifter that I broke pretty recently, I wonder if that did damage to the forks.

>>17665055
It can still do it with slight discomfort, how is a jet going to mow the lawn?

Your analogy is shit and you're retarded, last reply you're getting from me.

>>17665062
>hes never seen a jet at 110% throttle
Wew
Sportbike fags are truly retarded

>>17665041
How is a sportbike less practical than any other bike?

It may be more expensive, as all bigger bikes are (also you can get a GSXR125), but it's not really less practical. You can bracket all your luggage, GPS mounts, and cup holders to one the same as some fucking "naked standard". Some of the brackets might need to be custom made, but with how much people charge for small pieces of bike specific metal, it might actually be cheaper than buying a givi monokey adventure sidecase rack for your F800.

>>17665055
Is the street empty?
Did you do a sighting run for road hazards?
Are you okay with lowsiding off a cliff or into a retaining wall?

You can ride hard on the street.

>>17665041
A sport bike is plenty practical, stop being a bitch.

>>17665068
That's not even the full extent of what you can do with a sportbike. I've seen one otufitted with side bags, a tail bag, a tank bag, a GPS mount, and then a bunch of other shit bugnee corded to the rear luggage clusterfuck (with no additional attachments to the bike except for two cords going to the grab rails so i guess it could all come off as one unit).

Bikes are bikes. The only two disadvantages sportbikes have are comfort and cost. If you are fit and rich enough, why the fuck not?

>>17664910
Pilot Road 4 is a fantastic compromise tire for your 701. I rode a buddies DR650 set up as a sumo with them, they stick just fine for spirited touge.

Is the clutch actually releasing? You might have grooved fingers on the clutch basket. It makes the plates hang up, makes for hard shifting while stopped. Does it shift fine while moving with a rev match?

because they've never done more than a test ride, and don't realize that you get used to the sensitivity of the throttle after a day of riding

>>17665059
>I did have a nasty habit of resting my foot on the shifter that I broke pretty recently

You bent a ( or multiple ) shift forks, pay the man to split and fix or learn how to wrench.

>>17665108
Whoops didn't mean to imply I broke the shifter, I broke the habit of resting my foot on it.

>>17665137
Really annoying when they act like riding a liter bike or a sport bike takes some special skill and body type. And they are in some special club for riding one.
When in reality its nothing special.

So I ordered silver levers with red adjusters and the chinese ebay seller sent me the wrong ones..
By a stroke of luck they actually fit the colour scheme of my bike but they look pretty douchey to me.
They seem like they should be on a flame wrapped hayabusa or something, although when I held them up to the bike they don't seem so bad.

What do you guys think though, should I use them anyways? They're the black and red ones obviously

>>17665081
Hmm, they don't come in 160, only 150/70 and 170/60.
170 will have probably have a larger contact patch for the harder rubber, but might make turn in shitty.
Hmm...

Been riding a few years now. I'm after a more entertaining, more demanding streetbike. So I'm looking for something higher specced than damping rod forks and low revving power delivery, but the bike itself still has to be highly practical for daily use, so:
>luggage hooks
>center stand
>wind protection
>easy maint
is a must.
I was thinking maybe a vfr800 or a buel xb12xt, but the viffer is too complex and the sporster engine spoils the buell.

>>17665204
they fit the bike
I prefer plain or anodized metal myself

>>17665215
VFR800s have no luggage hooks, just grab rails (if the PO didn't lose them). You're meant to use hard panniers. They also have complex maintenance for everything but chain adjustments and rear wheel replacements.

>>17665215
According to /dbt/ you need a hayabusa
Or anything 1000cc or greater.
Cuz you will ALWAYS use 150hp+ getting to 35mph on your way to work.

>>17665216
Yeah, same here. I emailed the company, hopefully they'll send the right ones and I can keep these ones anyways.

Some of us don't live in metropolitan niggertowns and can go 75mph (legally) or higher (i don't see any cops and i'm running in-state plates)

>>17665215
VFR's are surprisingly heavy.

If you're young and fit just get a supersport and put a bigger windscreen and maybe higher bars on it. Center stands are a meme, get a net for the rear and/or a backpack.

You mentioned performance suspension, otherwise I would have recommended a liter standard like an FZ1 or Z1000.

>>17665215
FZ1 or FZ6 maybe? They don't have luggage racks, just grab bars that you can strap stuff to if there's an emergency but they match everything else.

>>17665042
Like a parking space? The lot is usually packed, but it can't hurt to ask, I suppose. Ideally, I'd like it on the porch specifically because my porch is 10ft from the lot and I can just hop the curb and be right at my door. My bedroom is right next to it with a window, too. Someone already tried to steal it once, so the peace of mind of knowing that I'd hear/see them is a big motivator for it.

Nowadays? Fun, novelty, and they are very challenging to ride properly.

The reason they exist is because of poverty after WW2, people only had motorcycles but still had to move the family around. IIRC the layout is more stable than a trike or trailer setup.

>>17665327
It will be around 450-470 lbs guaranteed.

>>17665336
No way it weighs more than the MT.
Even if it did, it has the power and torque to back it up

>>17665336
If it was that heavy they would have more than 1 small rotor on the front and back

>>17665327
Kinda scared to start riding on a big cc bike. I value my life

>>17665076
Cost isn't even an issue because used sport bikes cost very little relative to cars.

>>17665359
it has like 70 something horsepower, maybe even less for the dirt one my dude.

>>17665362
Sportbikes use bigger chains, bigger tires, and go through them faster.

Especially the tires.

>>17665364
What about the upcoming g310 gs? Would it be too small?

>>17665369
>bigger chains, bigger tires,
chains last a long ass time if you take care of them, and you can spend what you want on tires, as far as long distance or high performance

generally though people who buy sportbikes don't mind the extra cost for the fun they bring

>>17665341
>>17665346
The concept bike weighed in at 407 lbs with "some" fuel. And the production bike will be even heavier dry. My fz07 is 397lbs wet for reference

>>17665384
A 180 rear and 530 chain on a sportbike are going to cost more than smaller equipment no matter what

Overall I think you can expect to spend an extra hundred a season at least, before factoring in getting 30mpg on average and 40mpg highway, if you keep your right wrist and left foot in check

More on the T7 everyone is expecting to be a KTM killer

>As well as the suspension, the final production bike’s brakes will be changed, with a second disc expected to be added, along with ABS. The bodywork will, of course, be plastic rather than carbon fibre, and the fuel tank is expected to be remade in either plastic or steel. The tank is likely to grow, too, to improve the overall range, which along with the lower seat will shift the bike’s proportions away from the rally campaigner look of the prototype and towards a more adventure-tourer style.

Sounds pigfat with a meme engine

>>17665392
in the grand scheme of things they aren't expensive, like I said the people who buy them don't mind the slightly higher cost for all the extra performance

Nobody ever tells you how complex and expensive a few simple mods can actually be. Fabricate or buy this and that bracket to relocate this and that, get the clean parts you need in the first place, replace this and that stock thing with these things from other bikes, repaint, etc.

>>17665611

yeah, i guess. like i said, i had a couple dirtbikes back in the day so i don't know if that qualifies.

i'll look into that GS500. are they easy to wrench on?

>>17665624
Yes, ancient ass carbed parallel twins are piss easy to wrench on.

Taking the front fairing off a ninja 500 is a bit of a PTIA though (read: major PITA, expect to scratch something)

At this point you're probably better off waiting until the end of the season. You'll likely be able to find some pretty good deals as dealerships try and free up space and owners sell off bikes they don't want to store for the summer. If you can snag a naked like the FZ07, CB500F, it'll be a nice comfy bike while still being fast.

Or, get a deal on one of the billion used sport bikes out there. Ninja 250, 300, 500, anything you can find in that price range will be great for a beginner bike.

Or just buy a GSXRBRO

gear driven cams are heavy and modern chain+gear systems are more than reliable enough to go for 300k miles without ever replacing the cam chain

cruising at 4k is fine but for any acceleration you pretty much have to be 5k+, and for accelerating quickly you better have it above 8k

>Tips fedora*

>>17665944
Accelerating quickly for a 600 is much faster than most cars. Accelerating below 8k is still faster than most cars, and you're at 5k from 4k in less than a second. Just don't sick the throttle all the way open first thing or the engine will complain.

600s are not slow bikes. The only people who say so are either liter riders or 500/650 twin kiddos parroting liter riders.

Did I ever say I was rich? Did I ever say I had a super fast car? No I fucking didn't. I'm a college student with a nice car that is decently quick but nothing special. The reason so many mouth breathing affliction t shirt wearing faggots ride sport bikes is because sport bikes are cheap speed. You go to a dealer and finance a CBR 1000 RR or some shit for barely any cash from your shitty warehouse job, then ride around like a faggot laughing at how you're faster than everyone whilst not maintaining your shit and riding on bald tires. Then you drop it and get road rash and go do drugs or some other shit instead of going to college or having aspirations in life.

Generation and intelligence have no correlation. Getting old is part of life and there are plenty of ways to cope with that without trying to feed into groupthink and stereotypes for validation.

Milennials are taught that copyright is a moral right and that the music industry's big faces have a god-given mandate to be among the upper crust because they're "creative". It's been school curriculum in california for nearly a decade now.

>>17666518
I was never taught anything about music besides how to play brass, so I guess I missed copyright infringement class. Money can buy anything, though, even curriculum. I'm not saying NOBODY thinks like this, but I've yet to have anyone preach that kind of thing to me. I have met a lot of astoundingly retarded boomers, but I just can't say you're all retarded. I just chock it up to the likelihood that I'll meet an idiot just about half the time someone opens their mouth. If complaining about millennial makes you happy, then I guess knock yourself out. I like motorcycles. I like dirt bikes, motards, supersports, nakeds and even some nice cruisers. I particularly like custom ones. Do you like bikes? What kind?

there arent to many Vtwin sport-bikes aside from KTM and Ducati.

Its also the best design Buell ever produced and it has some of the unique design elements hes known for. If its all the same price and i had to choose between SuperDuke, Ducati Monster 1200 and the SX i think id favor the SX.

The tank in the frame, the "inside out" brakes with that massive 8-piston caliper, the frame geometry and suspension all make it very interesting.

Also just love 2-pipes in 1 muffler exhausts.

I mean the FZ does have ~25 hp more, but it's all top end. I have been riding a thumper for the last 2 years, so I'd really like to have something I could wring out a bit, but the SV is probably the more sensible (and economical) choice

And I slightly prefer the FZ6Ns visuals

Well, if you've been riding a thumper all your life, I'd probably go with the fazer then.
I went from a 400 single to a 250 I4 to a 1000 twin then down to a 600 I4.
It's always great riding the wave up until redline, but there is something about a twin/single that pulling your arms off like a gorilla at idle that never gets old.

Personal opinion, I guess. Ride them all then buy one.

>>17667061
>economy

seriously? Also i doubt there is much difference given how they are both about 600CC, if you dont push the FZ it wont use more gas.

And of course its top-end. Thats where you have fun.

I need to resole my boots, are Vibrams worthwhile or just memes?

Let's say I wanted to be a homeless vagrant traveling the states on a motorcycle. And let's say I am a pretty good mechanic. What bike would you recommend to me? Neither of those things are true, but I have similar requirements. I want something that:

is easy to work on, without specialist tools
will run forever if it's taken good care of
doesn't drink gas and oil like it's kool-aid

Those are really the only major requirements. I suppose that as far as style goes, the closer it looks to a Brough Superior the better, but I'm not fussy on that front.

So i've traveled 150km to a village where my friend lives, we're going to tear down an old barn today. Later i'm going to another village to meet with this cool redhead chick I know since forever. Weekend starts nicely

There's no such thing as a motorbike that isn't resource-heavy, everything's just relative. You can't repair a worn-down tire. Get something Japanese, they're pretty reliable and parts tend to be cheaper. If you can't reconcile with having to replace parts on a relatively frequent basis just get a pushbike.
