Reposting to get Anons' opinions.

I want ALL the bikes. I just can't make up my mind about which one I want the most.
>ZRX1200 around 110HP with outdated chassis and suspension, carbed. Standard bike ergonimics. Super cool looking.
>XB12S Ligntning at around 80HP, but plenty of torque from as low as 2k RPM. Top of the line brakes, suspension, frame, and geometry for excellent handling. Fuel injected.
>Any of the japanese I4 600cc supersports for great power, brakes, suspension, handling, etc. No character. Race ergonomics not ideal for street use. Quite revvy.
They all seem comparable in cost.
The XB seems the coolest to me but that 80HP figure form a 1203cc engine sounds disappointing. Although I imagine it will still be exciting coming from my 45hp shitbikes.

636
liter is srsly more than is necessary

my favourite scenic

...

Remember, 636 a best

...

Is it really, though? What about the 750?

What makes the 636 a best?

there be trails in them hills?

isn't the extra 36cc cheating?
honestly though, it's amazing what little cc can do for power.

i want a gray one and im gonna take all the stickers off

why are you so helpless? look up a dyno if all you care about is torque.

Try a gixxer 750 or go full liter but in low power mode.

I went from R6 to the 959 (750cc similiar power curve) memegale.

It's not all about torque, I care about the experience. Would like to gather opinions, which is why I'm asking what the next step would be if I want to get into a sport bike.

I lurked here before I even could ride and saw that the 650 is a great starter bike, now I'm asking for advice on what a good next step would be.

Might have to do that, but 750s are hard to come by in this area. Will look into it.

adventure or sport touring?

Any news about any electric motorcycle getting near the 200mi off of one charge range?

Also why the fuck doesn't Zero make a bike with fairings? Wouldn't the better aerodynamics reduce wind resistance on the highway and increase their range numbers?

Theres plenty of other options for cool bikes that aren't sportbikes.

adventure

Well, thats why the Tuono was also on my radar. Everyone seems to really love the new 1100, but shit man, I'm not trying to drop $17k on a new bike.

Doing any off roading?
What is your budget?

Well, while you say no character the 600 "super sport" gives you the most distilled riding experience. The other bikes are just standards that while giving you comfort fail to provide a true sporting presence. I'd always opt for the standard as your second big boy street bike.

>Want supersport since I was young teen
>finally get one
>wish I could go off road too
Two bikes or supermoto

Literally thousands, them hills go all the way to NSW, can get lost out there pretty easily

i was thinking this as well. insurance would be much cheaper and then i'd get to do them sick trails.

likely. looking probably under 5k

get a shitbike and gps and lets go riding m8

2 sumos

Not going to find a new Adventure for that and be hard to find a used. Thoughts on a used KLR650 or DR650?

5k will get you a decent variety of used bikes and pretty much nothing new.
what amount of what types of riding you figure on doing?

two bikes. Supermotos, while they can go off-road, aren't good at it. In fact you could ride your supersport through light trails too

thinking bigger, maybe like an 800
used not new

not super off-road stuff but established trails and whatnot.

already got the shitbike, the problem is there are no servos out there and my bike only gets about 100km before hitting reserve fuel.
best off taking the bikes out in the car with a few jerry cans of spare fuel and camping.
there is a hell of a lot of good riding out there, some of the hill climbs go for over 5 kilometers

A wild DR appeared in the tall grass.
Any of you other fagets doing Pokémon Go! on their bikes?

Open your local craigslist and put in a $5500 search limit, see what is available

Fite me irl fgts

no desert tank on that beast?

a vstrom 650 or even 1000 would be a good base reliable to work with and they're plentiful and fairly cheap

kek
just downloaded it earlier
i foresee car crashes as people drive around looking for them

>they better have put missingno in there or they have failed at easter eggs

Well the Buell is esentially a sport bike chassis with a big air cooled V-twin engine. It's offered with a bikini fairing and clipons or no fairing and big, wide handlebars.

Reviews say it handles like (or better than) any traditional supersport, which is exactly what I'm looking for. I think the naked package would be exactly the bike I'm looking for if it weren't so on power compared to all the competition. It's probably the better option for me since I don't really need to go 120+ MPH. I'm afraid of speeding tickets anyway.

Too bad the turbo XB prototype never made it into production.

yeah, have been. just thinking out loud and getting feedback here.

Nice bike

dem weight savings for the silly things

>my bike only gets about 100km
>reserve fuel
at least you have a reserve

>all that cp

reported

>the guy actually travels on that bike
neat

be better if reserve got you more than 30km, you could always do what i do on long rides and carry two 2 litre coke bottles filled with fuel in your camel back, there is another 40 or so km of riding for me

ayy, hows it going?

>shenanigans
thought about packing bottles of gas to extend your range in the most ghetto way possible?

yes see

it looks like a mid evil torture hanging rack device
and stupid as fuck. and good luck avoiding something in the road. i bet the guy is already dead.

The best part about that picture is he is smoking a cigarette.

thats what we had to do with our buddy at the d100, his cr125 drank gas like an old truck

Need a starter bike. This looks good. Should I? Is there anything I should be on the lookout for?

tampa.craigslist.org/hil/mpo/5594688902.html

>being this bootyblasted about what other people spend their money on
Ay
lmao

>are you going to behave
the guy looks like a troll
youtu.be/kT_nCTgduFo?t=94

yeah, dude gives no fucks. i'll give him that much

if im ever going a reasonable distance i usually carry a 1L fuel bottle with me, i should probably get one or 2 more
>muh 2-stroke fuel efficiency

reminder that honda a shit

kek. I'd think if he took his left hand off the bars it would dangle all his weight on the right and make him swerve and crash

the life of a 2 smoke owner, my 300 uses about as much fuel as a 6 litre v8 skid rig

>need to get sleep
>stuck on motorcycle road rage compilations
>get so made at these faggot cagers my heart rate jumps up and i want to beat the shit out of them

even old ladies get pissed. i had one pass me and my buddy over a double yellow forcing the oncoming suv onto the shoulder

Just laugh it off and let it go. Try to avoid them instead of chasing them down to give them a lecture. Escalating the situation won't help anything. File a police report if they attempt to run you over.

For some reason Veeky Forums thinks this is spam

anyone watch the vegas biker?
it sucks because some cool stuff happens in vegas and he ruins it with cancerous 9fag tier memes
youtu.be/smiWd6Ve0Ow?t=130

i really want a gopro

just have to make sure if something does happen that the cops don't see all my footage if you know what i mean

stop being such a slow fagget that nanna has to overtake you on double yellow lines then.
that or pull over and let her pass.

its like common courtesy doesnt even exist on the road anymore, seriously i swear half of the accidents people on youtube get into happen because the person on the bike was too high and mighty about the situation to slow down.

its almost like they get go pros then try to make people road rage because that pulls in views... wait...

end rant.

Radios are faster than bikes, homeboy.

I know what you mean.

>Not living somewhere where there's way too many streets and shit for the cops to actually have a chance of following you
>having a visible plate

forgot to add: holy shit that guy is white
>ayyy lmao

why do people get so triggered from motorcycles?
nanna was mad because we passed her slow ass.

then she got her shitbox up to speed somehow and passed us as we were approaching a stop sign. cunt was feet away from me. it was surreal

>radio waves can stop a biker
lmao you must have electronics on your bike

dont be a dense faggot
2spoopy

>have to carry around oil because your bike leaks so bad.
Treat it better m8, even if it is a shitbike.

Living in the sticks is best because 5-oh doesn't bother to come out my way. Why do Rossi shit in the city? Find some country roads to rip on.
> not knowing cops use radios to communicate with one another to cooridinate a blockade

Last time I passed someone on a country road he moved into the oncoming lane and almost forced me into a fence. I made it through with no more than an inch to spare.

I was in a passing zone with good visibility and no oncoming traffic, and never even went above the speed limit.

I don't know if he was mad or if he just didn't even know I was there and had no lane discipline.

Vid unrelated. Unfortunately I didn't have a camera at the time.

id have followed him home, shit in his mailbox then slashed 3 of his tyres because insurance won't cover 3 new tyres

>implying there aren't fun roads to rip on next to the city

i think cagers get butthurt because motorcycles can do things they cant.
we can filter while they are stuck at a standstill for one. that really gets people angry.
i need to carry around some sparkplug ceramic chucks

Can someone post the motorcycle version of this meme, the one with the octopus suomy helmet?

i wish i was a good enough rider to pull this off. dodge an asshole and get his mirror in one clean punch

kek this video was fun
youtube.com/watch?v=EVFfGqm5gjk

As I said here I think it's best to just let it go. I don't know how insane people are or if they're going to shoot me or what, so I just leave it.

Although I should have gotten his plate and reported him for nearly killing me.

Slowfags always mad.
Occasionally I come across some kind people who move over to let me pass. I get the feeling they ride and know motorcycles can move much more quickly through small country roads.

To each his/her own.

The thing they don't realise is their car can go faster than most bikes unless street rossi is riding it

Some riders get hella salty.
Just let it go

>Occasionally I come across some kind people who move over to let me pass. I get the feeling they ride and know motorcycles can move much more quickly through small country roads.

I fucking love these people. I ALWAYS give them a thumbs up and a wave to let them know I appreciate it.

so much for sleeping tonight
thanks faggot kek

kek watch these ones ya poof

here's the time it happens at:
youtu.be/EVFfGqm5gjk?t=168

thanks you seppo cunt

Most of the roads I ride on are barely wider than 2 cars so the size of motorcycles alone allows them more buffer zone, so they can go faster more safely just because of that.

And I strongly disbelieve that most cars can go faster than most motorcycles. 99% of the cars on the road are shitboxes that can't accelerate or corner worth shit. Even when I feel like I'm pushing the limits of my car through a corner, I can cruise through the same corner on my dual sport (not even a street bike) even faster with some safety margin. Add that to the fact that bikes can accelerate faster after slowing for a corner and it gives bikes a significant advantage to bikes.

>it gives bikes a significant advantage to bikes.
kek

it gives bikes an advantage over cars.

Simple typo.

yeah but most people arent hektik through corners and only maybe 10% actually are, for most people doing the speed limit through a corner that has a recommended speed of 80km/h is hektik on a bike, doing that in a car is piece of cake for 90% of people though, opposite scales kinda thing.

For a simple person.

i know it was i typo m8, i thought it was funny

So you're saying bikes have a higher potential but it's harder to exploit that potential?

yes, and less people do.
