Have you considered using google

well duh.

my brother has that bike as well

THICC

I just upgraded from a 250. The engine sounds very mean

I wanted a THICC-bike but couldn't find a good one.

Why the fuck would you ask that? Why not just look at a picture of the bike?

sounds even better with that slip-on

although all that rattling at low RPM kinda freaks me out.

I had one of those eons ago. Great power. Terrible weight distribution. The absolute worst balance point for wheelies of any bike I have ever owned. (north of 50 bikes)

I had a full Yosh Ti system, and ditched that bullshit rear shock for a proper Penske unit, and also rebuilt and sealed the airbox. It was one of the loudest, most awesome sounding bikes I have ever owned.

Yeah the husky and the ktm are essentially the same bike i think the suspension is different though. I have a DRZ actually and it does fine offroad. It handles intermediate single track pretty well and fire roads are a piece of cake. If you are doing a lot of street riding, i wouldn't recommend it though because it feels winded at highway speeds.

Mmm they are a cool bike, I would have got one if they weren't so pricey, dealers wanted £3k for even late 90s ones and the cheaper private sales were just too far away.

Sexy as fuck

Sexy but it and the srad had a lot of problems.

So turns out after giving up hope on my dream first baiku due to the owner avoiding meeting up, minutes later they text me back and say they can meet up tomorrow. Thank the heavens because I'm leaving on vacation Tuesday.
Please let this go well tomorrow. I've been a nobike for too long.

Think of Husky as KTM's top of the line bikes, Basically they get a few more bits of bling bling that the ktm's don't like the linkage rear suspension.

that bikes front wheel is on backwards

>test rode s1000xr
>tfw normal bike doesn't satisfy me anymore
How can I go on dbt?

>tfw 3 days off work starting tomorrow

I think I'm finally gonna go to mulholland.

>Post add on craiglist
>Suck dick for $1
>Suck 30000 dicks
>Buy bike

How do you think aprilia, bmw, ducati and harley user bought their bikes.

>30000 dicks

Cmon it's not even half that amount...

Finished first day of MSF riding, man I am tired af. Mostly though from my autism by having to work with other people.

start shitbiking.
it's the only way to feel satisfaction on a bike you hate riding because a better bike ruined it for you.

Will the wheels have directional marking a for me to check?

ikr :^)

Yeah but the more dicks the better

>cb600f

Thinking of toothing the front and rear sprocket.

From 14front /45rear to 15front/42rear

Happy to take the increased fuel consumption and lower top speed for better acceleration.

Reasons I shouldn't do it ?

Yeah, the question is the rim on backwards or just the tyre though, if the rim is on backwards the spacers are the wrong way around so it won't spin freely.

>Reasons I shouldn't do it ?
because thats the opposite of what you do to get more acceleration.
just change the front sprocket from a 14 to a 13.

Got those mixed up in the text.

my answer is still just put a 13 tooth front sprocket on.
leave the rear alone.

norfolk.craigslist.org/mcy/5719311789.html

so is it a lot of work to make a dirt bike "street-legal"?

so today I went to the bike dealership just to look at bikes
and beforehand i was determined to get a dual-sport.

but after seeing all of those other bikes i don't know if i'll be missing out a lot on driving these other styles.

a standard like a suzuki boulevard for example. i like the looks on standards, they're so classy.

but i still want to venture on the trails at the same time...this is harder than i thought

>suzuki boulevard
>standard
Are you retarded or just american?

Why not both ?

I hate cars

What you're looking for is one of the faux retro scramblers

are you retarded?

...ok

hmm i guess i'll have to dig deeper into the classifieds

Its cheaper to just put a 13 tooth front on rather than buying a 14 front and 45 rear.
rear sprockets are 5 times as expensive uleh.

>stick it out 6 months and joined the union
>staring pay $28 an hour
>3 years later making top pay at $45

You see you dont have to suck dick like this guy >random pic

Will that put more strain on the chain due to harsher turning angles ?

13 will be fine, 12 would be pushing it a bit far

Ninja 250 or 300?

what bike btw

question for all of you bikefags.
why did you choose this riding style over these many others?

are you content with your current bike?

if you could change, what bike would you swap your current bike for?

...

honda civic or honda accord?

I bet they fuckt ur ass pretty hard like the cum dumpster you are

>cb600f / hornet

That's a stupid analogy and you should feel bad.

To go fast.

Yes

None I can really think of, there are certainly bikes I would like to have in addition to it, but I don't see myself getting rid if this for a long time.

250, you won't want to keep either bike and the 250 is cheaper.

you're a stupid analogy and you should feel badder

cb400 because lams and ktm 300 because best bike.

And no i was bored of the cb400 years ago, If i didnt get fucked over by law changes id have had a ninja 636 2 years ago.

Fucking savage.

I feel nothing inside except when I ride

Money not an issue, I'd like to have a supersport, dirt, tourer, supermoto in the garage. Little but of everything.

But speed is the one thing that will be priority for another few years.

Why not both

...

That's not the right way to look at a bike you're planning to sell. The question is if you can get a Ninja 300 with little enough depreciation in it that you won't lose much more than a 250 when you sell it.

Assuming you don't get memed on insurance somehow at least.

I got a cb250 and a vfr800. Im pretty happy with both bikes

>fucked over by law changes
Sure m8, you bought that bike due to a manga. You dirty weeb. Thats why you still own it too.

Post the pic of when you plasti dipped it pink and cosplayed as Hane

are there any modern standard motorcycles that actually look like a standard and not just a slow sportbike?

bonneville doesn't count I already know about it

Thats because you are sitting on a dildo when you ride, fagget!

I have my bike because it's the cheapest somewhat sporty bike I could find. It's pretty good for a first bike.

Doing what?

>I've had this bike for about a couple of months Looking to upgrade. It's an amazing starter bike Minor damages on the left side fairing

>kawasaki GS500

>524km

what do you mean by this

With shittier mirrors

bruh..

The more riding types you involve yourself in, the better and more fulfilled as a rider you will be. I'm looking to start doing sumo and flat track at a low level for personal improvement. When I finish my flat tracker I'll have 6 bikes in the garage, one for pretty much every discipline I can get involved in. I know an old guy who wants to go sidecar racing, so I might do that too

13 would be cheaper and provide the same performance but the increase is chain wear is a worry.

Still no idea why you want me to like anime.
Especially one that doesnt involve grown men screaming to become more powerful.
But if it makes you feel better you can think that i guess.

Let the rage flow through you

I like going fast

Yeah

Maybe an s1000rr or rsv4rr le

how do you figure there is more chain wear?
Chains shorter so there is actually a tiny wee bit less because it travels less distance.
there is more sprocket wear on the front sprocket though.

Fastest bike model on average?

a very fast bike

How fast?

Just dress up as Hane already. I want to molest your bubble butt.

Commuting

No

CRF1000L

Tighter turning circle created more torsional/extensional stress.
Thats a 13% decrease in size at the same rpm.
