What would you guys consider mandatory protection for a ADV bike?
Engine bars/guards Skid plate Handguards
Missing anything in the "first buy" category?
Carter Turner

i have none of those things. i post on Veeky Forums by screaming at its datacenter loud enough to flip individual bits on the hard disks.
Kayden Lopez
The inverted forks are a meme, get an S if you don't care about the suspension.
tfw got my 2014 sm from a dealer with 2 year warranty for the same price as a craigslist 2006 SM
Xavier Bell
I ride a honda 250 with a beaded seat cover.
Your judgments are powerless!
Nathaniel Nelson
>dirtbike >more rigid forks are a meme
yeah sure
Wyatt Morales
if you want a dirt bike for 5k you could just about get a ktm 300 exc.
Noah Campbell

Thomas Peterson
But the E is lighter, makes more power, and has the same suspension as the S.
James Anderson
Hey, the new weestrom XT is out! Pictured here in its natural environment, paved bitumen ridden by your dad in a onesie.

Easton Gomez

Why does Veeky Forums always flip and rotate images?
Juan Sullivan
Veeky Forums strips EXIF metadata, people uploading photos from their phones often had GPS data on it because they're fucking idiots and were doxxing themselves so they strip the data now.
One of the bits of metadata stripped is an orientation one that tells if the image is supposed to be flipped or not.
Austin Campbell
Thought so. Kind of silly to remove everything.
Juan Morgan
certain boards don't, such as /p/ which leaves the photography stuff in.
Aaron Reed
Yeah I noticed that when I posted a photo there and got insulted I didn't have a $2.5k camera
Ryder Rogers
must have been the wrong phase of the moon's orbit.
Usually you get insulted if you own a 2.5k camera because "gear doesn't matter" etc.
Benjamin Diaz
>D3100 lmao cuckcam
David Gomez
We need to make a /hr/ dbt. So the dumb fucks can still doxx themselves.

You got €4k to spend on a baiku,
nothing too niche or dated, sub 100hp, no supersport or a drz.
What do you get?
Leaning towards a shivvy or gladius/2nd gen sv650 but open for suggestions.

Fuck you time travellers
Jeremiah Gonzalez
thanks for the new gsx-r1100 pic.
2nd gen SV650 is the one I'd pick out of your suggestions, I've ridden a gladius and I don't rate it positively compared to the 2nd gen SV in any way.
I do have to say I wouldn't own the SV were faster options available to me (such as a gsx-r750) but if 100hp is a licensing limit for you I understand.
Hudson Cook
So much better bikes you can get for 4k than an SV650.. That's like if you have 2.5k
Oliver Barnes
it might stun to learn you different bikes cost different amounts in different countries with different currencies.
Adam Wilson
He clearly said euros you fucking retard.
Cooper Hall
bikes cost the same in every country that has the euro?
Bentley Long
germanfag here. no, bikes dont cost the same in each country. except maybe you buy a new bike directly from a dealer, then you get the stock prices. but speaking from experience, if you buy a used bike, prices vastly differ from country to country, due to availability. In germany you have a huge market and consequently the prices are fairly low. example: you have a bike with certain specs in germany and it costs around 4000€. search that same bike in the netherlands and you pay 1000-2000€ more because there and as many bikes of the kind there.
Charles Flores
>tfw no plans for tonight
I'm not even that upset about it. I'm thinkning about go and buy a bottle of booze and spend the night playing vidya
Anthony Sullivan
>search that same bike in the netherlands and you pay 1000-2000€ more
Apply that for all bikes, new or used.
Carter Allen
*there aren't as many
Jeremiah Hill
see that's why I didn't comment on what he should buy for the price, only what I did know on what he suggested.
Nathan Mitchell
He didn't even specify a country so I'm not sure why you're assuming where he lives.
Ayden Bell
I'm not, that's exactly my fucking point.
what's wrong with you people.
Jose Cooper
Not identical but for used imports they're usually within a couple hundred €
Isaiah Wilson
Same here mane. Same here.
John White
Just because your budget is 4k doesn't mean you should spend an entire 4k.
Especially since it's most likely a licensing limit and you may want to upgrade later on. Why not keep a small buffer of cash to play around with? There's no reason to spend 4k when 2.5k will get you everything you want.
Hudson Cooper
There's a pretty big difference between a 2.5k bike and a 4k bike.
>both under 100hp >Both are naked bikes >Both have 2 cylinders >both EFI Compare any bikes with these criteria and you find nothing that would justify a 1.5k difference in price.
