Just rented a BMW F800 GT after learning to ride only a month ago on a Ninja 250.

Such a nice bike.

I'm thinking of getting a windshield of some sort for my bike (pic related).

I don't know anyone with a fared bike and I don't really want to test drive stuff I won't buy.

Can anyone weigh in on the difference between no windshield, a low sport bike windshield, and a taller windshield? I'm concerned with wind noise more than anything.. It's pretty bad with my modular helmet, and I wanna know if a windshield would help, and if so, which style.

Hyosung GT650, so chances are I'll be jerry rigging a shield or buying a universal one since fitted parts aren't easy to come by.

>not my photo
;_;
>>a

>hyosung

lol

Probably would think about getting a new bike instead mate.
Hyosung a shit

Ive asked this before but I am again, if my bike has a 108 link chain stock will using a 110 link be bad? I could cut it down but I'm gonna be lazy if I can. I'm going up a tooth in the rear if that matters too.

post your photo then, I just threw these two together because I had nothing else
will look for more madmen, like this one dude imitating the Street sign where he stands on the bike
even if not a dbt poster

Cute. But it runs, drives, doesn't burn oil or otherwise do anything wrong, and I paid less than a grand for it safetied in Ontario with 10k km on it.

Tell me how I'd be better off with something different as my first bike, followed closely with a response to my actual question if you wouldn't mind.

What's a good bike to make into a street legal off road bike? I don't want it to be super small displacement. I was thinking something around 500cc. I'd like it to be under $2000, and it doesnt have to be in perfect condition.
I'm asking because a friend and I were thinking about getting into going innawoods on bikes. I don't know very much about this kind of stuff, but I hope that you can kind of get what im saying.
>Pic related, but I don't want to carry that much stuff

I was thinking about like a KLR650 or WR250 but they are both very expensive.

The bolt came out and drained my tranny oil while i was riding and i stopped because of the horrible sound it was making

Is my transmission rekt?

Thanks

>Cute. But it runs, drives
>But it runs, drives
>drives
Maybe you should try riding it instead??

Anyway a tall shield is what you are after, that is if you want to be upright and don't want to tuck in behind the screen all the time.

Thanks bruv

>>>a

The only bikes I can think of that would be that cheap is XR400/600, or XT/DR350.

You gonna get in the fammigghia?
It was on my old phone...
It's the Shiver in front of the "pls no bikes" sign

That was my assumption, but I've seen places where they say you end up with more wind noise due to vortices and stuff coming off the windshield, especially since it's not exactly going to be designed for this bike.

I was curious if the shorter ones would act like bug deflectors and kind of redirect the air enough to lessen the noise. It definitely has a more upright riding position, so leaning over is uncomfortable.

You talking about the secret famigghia?

>>>>a

Get 500 and up. Don't settle for a 300 and below ever.

DR650, XR650L, KLR 650 are your best options, although the KLR is pigfat as fuck.

Don't shy too much away from the smaller displacement bikes. They will be worse on the highway but more capable in the shitty stuff when you really need it.

I asked an aprilia dealer if they can do the factory colors on a regular tuono, they basically told me to gtfo.

>factory
Alitalia or bust

Hi everyone, I haven't been here for a while (at last 6 months)
Today I crashed my bike in a mountain pass like a noob, because my mind wasn't fully focused on what I was doing
I'm ok, the bike isn't too damaged
I'm really happy that I was wearing all my gears, it's probably saved my body
I just wanted to post this here as a daily reminder
Riding a motorcycle is dangerous, we have to be concentrated all the time, and if you don't feel it, don't go outside of your limits

Ride safe, dear /dbt/

Git gud scrub

>I'm ok, the bike isn't too damaged

Pretty comfy and not a bad price. I am pleased with this purchase

Who is excited for the race Sunday?

>there's a fan club of my bike...

Just joking about the meme bike with 420 miles

>they're as cringy as they get

How do I watch it on the internet for free?

He and Lorenzo are battling at the moment with their setups. But Rain is forecast, and VR46 is a master of pulling it altogether on raceday in challenging conditions...so maybe a chance.

I guess you need a video pass for motogp.

There's a camsite b uses to whack off
I could stream the whole thing

Got a link/address?

Why the fuck are D675s so tall? It's like riding a lifeguard chair.

what bike? i'm guessing not a shared sump?

I think it's femanons something something dot com

>mfw i'm a lifeguard and ride a 675
STOP STALKING ME user

Because not only manlets ride

...

Could I increase muh torks without sacrificing too much top speed by changing the rear sprocket? Or is it just an internal gearing thing?

The f800 motor is deceptively quick

Yes

>wtb an F4i
>could save up another year and get myself the rr

How to proceed? I love my VFR but it's old and slow. Would gladly buy a v4 600SS but the ywill never ever make one.

Look at that sexy motherfucker

What's it supposed to do? Stop shit from spraying back up against you or others?

This is what $40 of OEM exhaust gaskets and springs look like

Never touch a wrench again

All that wouldn't have happened to an EFI engine.

Wasnt my fault. Just cheap plastic shit. Ive been wrenching for 20 years.
Truth

>not maintaining your tyres
its your own goddamn fault you minda

HYOSUNG A SHIT

Enjoy your EFI problems. They make carbs look good.

Hyosung a shit!

>tfw it'll never stop raining

If the rain's not coming down too hard then go out in it man.

I don't have rain gear and I'm a pussy.

And i liek ur mums pussy, fagget!

dunno if you're still around, probably not.
Anyway the answer is 'it depends'.
>pic related reduces chest wind by about 20%
>medium sized generic windshields give mixed results
A well placed one doesn't need to be that big and will reduce chest wind to a mild drumming on your helmet. A poorly placed one will vibrate, be really tall/ugle, and have a buffeting windblast hit you at neck height. It's a lot of trial an error with aftermarket screens. Also you won't have anything to keep wind from trying to pry your knees open at high speeds.

>totally capable and satisfactory (if boring) road bikes
>too fucking pigfat for offroad
I'd recommend a 250-400cc 4 stroke if you want to have something manageable offroad. Also adventure gear weighs a cuntload so leave it in the truck when you go offroading.
