[ D a i l y B i k e T h r e a d ] - /dbt/

this is the first time i've heard a 98-01 VFR without an exhaust that triples the decibles

All that gear whine makes it sound like an electric motor

I'm poland
2 degrees and still going STONK

>good honda
this is an oxymoron

>he doesnt know about XL XR reliability

every "reliable" honda ever made has two well reported gremlins on average

What are these gremlins?

ayy lmao u madman

Trading my SV for a z800, did i do good or is this another memebike?

The z800 is a memebike, while the SV is good. There has literally never been a z800 or z750 that wasn't trashed. It's also pigfat and a kawasaki

>not a ZX-6R

why

the z800 isn't really any good. Get the 1000 at that point since they weight the same...

Im thinking of buying this (Yamaha FZ16 150cc) as my first bike. Would it be better to get this and quality gear instead of waiting to get a Ninja250?

Cbr250?

Being slow and boring

But they are so cheap.
Thats why i use it as a town bike

Underage b&

I don't understand what's going on here

Apparently it's some sort of Portugal meme

Strange

...

I wish they still made bikes in this color scheme

1. Buy flat black ARRSIX or whatever
2. Buy couple cans of spraypaint and some masking tape
3. ???????
4. Retro!

Who /BeyondThunderdome/ around here?

Purple x Blue is fukken sick.

Straight out of the 90s and into your dreams.

Hm2 is pretty shit desu famalamfam
I played the first one pirated first. Good times because there was one segment where you couldnt break a single window or the game would crash. Then I bought it and it was way too easy because of that

God damn, thank you based motorcycle gods for making up for the shit ride on Monday.

Can't believe this pic is over a year old.
And 2 years ago I bought my first bike.

>riding seasons

Damn, it's really nice here too.
I should go out

>2°
lmao what germany do you live in
kys drobe

Best Germany of course.
Why would I kill myself when riding is so fun and life is good?

>fully custom bike lots off $$$ an mods done to it
>that fucking wallmart exhaust
HAHAHAHAHAHAH
inlandempire.craigslist.org/mcy/5790887840.html

because it isn't
kill me

I just explained some orbital mechanics (oberth effect) to a girl. Yay me

Get the extra displacement if your goal isn't riding like a madman. If it is, then get the gear. BTW many, many generations of riders don't crash constantly but /dbt/ live on the extreme edge. I'd rather have the extra horsepower to save my ass than be limited by tiny engine.

If your helmet meets DOT standards it's reasonable protection. If interested you can compare Snell and DOT standards but main thing is wear the fucking thing and make it a full coverage helmet so you don't grind your face off. Helmet, jacket, riding gloves (I use TIG welding gloves because light, tough, comfortable and I can use them for welding in a pinch) will do for starters and you can add specialty boots and pants later. It's personal preference but I've worn steel toe lineman style boots for many years. The toes bother some people but my other hobbies are more dangerous to feet than riding. No "engineer" AKA biker boots though. No laces means no ankle support.

ATGATT types may get ranty and they do have a point if you think the street is a race track.

Who else owns a strange combination of bikes?

ATTGAT not because we ride like idiots, but because of fucking cagers running us over

Eh
As an ex-atgatt, I recommend focusing on getting quality boots, gloves and a helmet. These are what may actually save your extremities from involuntary amputation. The jacket and pants are for limiting road rash and not much else.

Does having no wife or children mean I can ride like a madman?

Forgot picture

Isn't that exhaust going to burn your toes on the shifter?

sikk exhaust m8

WHAT DIS

Is there an adventure capable Supermoto style bike?

It has extended forward controls, You'll only burn your leg once or twice, then you get used to the positioning.
Thanks m8

Dorsoduro / Hypermotard/Hyperstrada/Multistrada depending on your adventures

>how many layers of reddit are you on bruh

It's called a dirtbike you spastic

The only shitty part about the exhaust is that right turns scrape if it's too tight.

>adventure
>dirt bike banging out highway miles

How many layers of fucking retard you on my dude?

>hue hue me wanna light-raecbiek that can go on dirt roads
>not a dirtbike tho
Fuck off
Get literally anything and remember to post your crash on 9gag

>2°C
lmao what germany do you live in
It was -2°C this morning
And now I have a cold, but I think it's not from riding in these temperatures :^)

>banging out highway miles
why do you need a supermoto style bike then?
just buy a car
or a cruiser (which is basically the same?!)

NICE MULTIPLAY AYYYY

ayways seems like since we have so many people from the south, aka sandpeople here, they seem to have brought their temperatures with them

>hue hue me wanna light-raecbiek that can go on dirt roads
I never said light, nor race bike, I said a bike style in Supermoto that's built as an adv bike, to which gave me a good answer for things to look it.

I just like the dirt/sumo style, hypermotard/multi is essentially what I had in mind. Gotta stay comfy.

An hyper/dorso will kill your butt, idiot
You wouldn't do a cross country on a plank
Get a proper seat

Get a VFR they're comfy and fun

Why are you being a big meanie face, user?

Forgot pic

He's right, they won't be comfy at all

that can't be the reason, here are many too
I wish it was warmer here though

>not fast enough to overtake a Twinguh without hassle
lmao nigga what wrong with your R65

had one
>comfy
>not that fun
>more stable than a Camry in side-winds and very forgiving in turns (not very willing though)

What year and size did you have?

>not fast enough to overtake a Twinguh without hassle
t-that's not true

How big
Since the 800 is A3 anyway and i already have a 750 i'm really interested in the new 1200
Maybe even with the full dresser+ABS+DCT pack

well it surely looked like it ;-)

>DCT pack

Certainly not me
Ayy lmao

A spaceship has limited delta velocity available.
When you burn far from a planet you can change your velocity from say 3km/s to 4km/s, but if you burn closer to a planet where you're already going 4km/s you'll get 5km/s and that is a bigger change in energy

My fatfuck friend loves it
He says it's _smooooooooth_
And i'd need a bike with big ass panniers 'n shit
It's either that or a manual Africa twin with knobbies and cages

Ah yes
i learnt this in KSP

well actually it really does feel a bit slow right now
But I couldn't look into it in the last few days, I can't be fucked wrenching on my bike on the sidewalk when it's already dark and cold after work, and I also had other stuff to do
TÜV is due this month, too

>burn
burn what?
and why is it a bigger change if it is both just a step of 1km/s?
>>knowledge

come to me, i'll make you your TÜV
mine is due since one month now
yolo

Because energy is proportional to velocity squared
6 squared minus 5 squared is more than 5 squared minus four squared
Burn fuel in your spaceship

>mine is due since one month now
oh boy
Why don't you do it yourself then? :^]

does being closer to a planet has to do anything with?
weil se is net da :^(
>mgw

>he burns fuel
Solar sail masterrace over here

You gain speed from being in a gravity well. It's like when you ride downhill you go faster at the bottom

>only being able to move away from the sun
>having 0.01 N of force

>weil se is net da :^(
Dann braucht se doch auch keinen TÜV :^)

ay so the higher the numbers i want to accelerate from (5 to 6 takes more than 1 to 2 and 200 takes a shitload to 201)
the more power i need?

Yes but on a bike you have drag and you also have to accelerate the earth, while on a spaceship you have a set amount of deltaV
Cheap beer at local discount fuck yeah

jedoch aber wenn sie wieder da ist
>deltaV
what the fugg is this nerd speak
where does one learn such things?
anyways thanks for explaining Satan, I don't think I would know what you mean in german, but in engish i kind of understood
i just couldn't translate it lmao

Change in velocity. On a spaceship you can go from 1000 to 2000 or feom 500000 to 501000 and it doesn't make a difference because you're in outer space where everything is relative
Just play kerbal space program you'll get it

I recently bought a Vulcan 750 with all four of the turn signal stalks falling apart. I bought four replacements but they have the same shitty plastic stalks. Is there anything I can place or wrap over them that won't look like shit and keep them from falling apart.

XR650's are pure sex

Wierd
I always manage to break the clear cover before anything else

tell me /dbt/ should i go for a CBF 250 with 2.860 km for 3100€ or should i go for a Honda CB 500 with 16.600 km for 1.500 € ?

neither

Find a CB 500 with less miles for a little more money

>got to auction site
>1100 125cc bikes
>800 bikes in the 500-650cc range
>22 (twenty-two) 250s
Why is this allowed?

>16.600km
>a lot

Oh rip i defaulted my thinking to miles

Get the cb500
